Chapter 45 The Pessimist

  "Then I'll go home and pack my luggage." Lian Xi stood up and walked towards the door. "By the way...I still don't know the address here..."

  "I still have something to do in a while, so I won't be able to go with you... Besides, Blue Universe and the others don't know when they'll come over, so it's better for me to stay here and wait. The address is already prepared for you." As he spoke, Shadow took out a small card from his pocket, about the size of a business card, and handed it to Lian Xi, "This is the address here, take a taxi there and back, it's not very convenient to take a bus..."

  "Ah, okay thank you. Does Qiao Jia know the address?"

  "When I came yesterday, you and Qiao Jia were asleep, but Lan Yu was awake. And last night they didn't stay over either. They drove back home, which means they got familiar with the way again, so they won't get lost."

  "It's strange, why didn't you tell me to bring both of them together? But instead gave me this address..."

  "Although I've known you for a short time, I still have some confidence in my judgment... Miss Lianxiu, you definitely don't want to be a third wheel, right? And if you go find them together, they'll definitely ask you if you learned more about me last night when you stayed here... So I'm sure you won't meet up with them first and then come together... Of course, this is just my own speculation..."

  Ying's words were exactly what Lianxiu had been thinking, and upon hearing Ying's analysis, Lianxiu couldn't help but be amazed. Although it was a small matter, perhaps Qiaojia could also have guessed it, or maybe people who knew each other for a long time could have figured out a thing or two. But when she counted the number of times they had met, she could count them on one hand... so how did he understand her thoughts so well? And not only that, but he had even prepared a small card in advance.

  After careful consideration, from last night to now, Lian Yu has discovered more and more advantages of having a shadow... the room, the name card on the door, the slippers in the bathroom, toothbrush, toiletries, and even this morning's breakfast... it's actually so considerate.

  Lian Xi naturally thought that today's breakfast wasn't like what Ying said, suddenly getting up early and unintentionally making too much breakfast... but was specially prepared, even made especially for herself. If so, does it mean that Ying has a good impression of herself? Lian Xi's intuition in this aspect has always been very accurate...

  Thinking of this, Lianxiu shook her head and quickly dispelled the idea.

  Sitting in the taxi, looking at the rapidly passing scenery outside, Lian Xi couldn't help but think of that thought again, which had just flashed through her mind and was immediately dismissed by herself... As she thought about it, she found herself smiling foolishly... Silently muttering to herself: Oh dear, sometimes I really can't stand myself, Mo Lian Xi, Mo Lian Xi, how can you be so self-absorbed?! I don't know if you're narcissistic or just infatuated!

  It's not actually narcissism, but rather Lian Yu has always had enough self-confidence in herself, and of course, Lian Yu's confidence is indeed due to her having the ability...

  After a burst of secret laughter, Lianxi suddenly remembered the scene where Ying made three sandwiches for herself, and at that time, she felt so deeply sorrowful...

  That feeling is like being rooted, lazily staying in Lian Yu's mind, lingering for a long time on Lian Yu's heart, and refusing to leave Lian Yu's body.

  It's truly unforgettable, and every time I think about it, the memories are still vivid...

  But no matter how hard Lian Xi tried to search through her memories, she couldn't find a similar scene, not even a similar experience... Could it be that... could it be that she had lost a memory?

  Ling Xi's expression suddenly turned serious... or rather... Ling Xi was unwilling to believe his second conjecture - could it be that there had been someone who accompanied Ling Xi before, and then he unfortunately entered the Nightmare Game, and then... died? So the memories of that person were quietly erased from Ling Xi's mind...

  Before long, Lian Yu smiled at the reflection of herself on her phone screen. Ever since she found out about this game and became a player in it, no matter what happened, she couldn't help but think of Nightmare Game. This can't go on!

  Lian Xi is a seemingly cheerful person, but she doesn't want to reveal her inner self to anyone. Of course, it's not that she hides everything in her heart... It's just that Lian Xi is a girl who lacks a sense of security, and she has many secrets that she doesn't want to tell others. In order to protect herself from getting hurt, she chooses to bear many things alone.

  In her family's eyes, she is a bit willful, a bit biased, but also very likable and lovable little girl. In her friends' eyes, she is a cheerful, confident, sensitive, calm, and good-tempered person who takes things easy. To strangers, she appears to be proud, quiet, introverted, and not easily approachable.

  Actually, only she herself knows that she doesn't have as much confidence as she appears to on the surface, and her smiles aren't all because of happiness... She's a person who loves taking things to extremes, although she likes to comfort others, but when it comes to herself, she doesn't know how to console herself.

  She became a pessimist over time. Everything would be thought of in the worst possible way... When she was with Xiao Mu and Qiao Jia, she would laugh wildly and carelessly like a worry-free child. But when she was alone, she would always feel extremely empty and sorrowful... yet she didn't know why she was sad.

  Unconsciously, the car had already arrived at Lianxi's home. Lianxi slowly got out of the car and walked step by step towards her house. Standing in front of the door, she rubbed her face hard and forced a smile, afraid that her family would notice something. She stood there for a long time before taking out the key to open the door...

  "Mommy, I'm back!"

  "Are you back? Are you really going to go?" Lingxiu's mother hurried over to ask, Lingxiu knew her mother didn't want her to leave, actually Lingxiu also didn't want to leave, but she had no other choice...

  "Of course! ... Mom, I know you can't bear to part with me, and I also can't bear to leave you and Dad. It's just that this is such a rare opportunity, and I really don't want to give it up...". Because she never lied, Liang Xi (Liang Ye) was obviously a bit unnatural, her heart beating faster. "I'll only be gone for half a year, and when I have time on weekends, I'll come back to see you guys. After half a year, I'll come back, and your daughter will have been promoted to manager! So, in order to support my great future, please support me!" As she said this, Liang Xi made a "go for it" gesture, and her mom couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  "Of course work is important, I helped you pack your luggage simply, take a look and see if there's anything else you need to bring, the suitcase is in your little house..."

  Packed up luggage, bid farewell to parents, and walked out of the house in the evening. Suddenly felt a lot of psychological pressure relieved... One thing was settled, the next thing, also the last thing, was to go to the company to resign!
