Chapter 117: Love Welfare Institute (1/2)

10 minutes later, Mu Ke jumped up like a cat whose butt was pierced by a needle. He opened the door and looked out. After making sure that the teacher hadn’t come, Mu Ke started to knock on the door of the other handicrafts classroom.”

“Bai Liu (6)!” There were anxious tears in Mu Ke’s eyes. “Bai Liu (6)! I listened to you and waited for 10 minutes. Now it is 10 minutes! Come out! I don’t want to run away alone!”

Miao Gaojiang picked up Mu Ke who was still pounding on the door. “The teacher is coming soon! Let’s go first. Bai Liu (6) will catch up with us. You run even slower than him!”

“No!” Mu Ke screamed while crying. “I don’t want to leave him alone! I want to run away together! He has never left me behind!”

Miao Gaojiang was stunned. Mu Ke took advantage of this to slip off his shoulder.

Mu Ke held back his cries and wiped his tears with his arm. He looked at the corridor to check if any teachers were coming and then crazily knocked on the door. “Bai Liu (6)! You open it! I beg you! Open it!”

The door opened abruptly. Bai Liu (6) stood at the door intact but with a pale face.

He glanced expressionlessly at the crying Mu Ke. “Didn’t I tell you to go?”

Mu Ke sobbed and shook his head. Tears welled up. Like a kitten that no one wanted, he threw himself on Bai Liu (6). “You scared me to death! Sob. Why didn’t you open the door?”

“Liu Jiayi isn’t leaving.” Bai Liu (6) avoided Mu Ke. His pale face shook a bit but he finally maintained his calm expression. It didn’t fall but a bit of blood seeped out from the corners of his mouth. He looked down at Mu Ke, who was holding his hand and crying bitterly, showing a somewhat confused and helpless expression.

He had never received such strange and warm tears. This made him a bit tired and he didn’t know how to deal with it.

Finally, Bai Liu (6) patted Mu Ke on the shoulder and pushed away Mu Ke who was still wiping his tears. Bai Liu (6) lightly retracted his hand. “She wanted to stay here and let me draw a picture for her brother. I just drew it for her. Perhaps I was so focused that I didn’t hear you calling me. In any case, I’m done drawing and the teacher is coming over. Let’s go quickly.”

Bai Liu (6) ignored the corrosion of his internal organs as he walked behind Mu Ke calmly. Before he left, he looked back at Liu Jiayi who was sitting on the window sill.

Liu Jiayi raised her head and closed her eyes, bathing in the rising sun. Her messy and withered hair looked like golden threads wrapped around her. The sunlight enveloped her cheeks and head like a divine halo as she leaned quietly against the window, eyelashes also painted a brilliant gold color.

In the golden, hopeful morning light, Liu Jiayi slowly opened her eyes and looked back at Bai Liu (6).

Liu Jiayi turned against the light and her eyes were a pure and hazy white. This thin, weak little girl was as pure as an angel and she held the simple picture that Bai Liu (6) had just drawn for her. In the picture, Liu Jiayi sat on the hospital bed. She hugged her head and curled up against her knees like a baby bird afraid of everything. She wore an oversized hospital gown and held a Bai Liu-style doll with the head twisted 180 degrees.

[Why do you want to save me in the future?]

[I don’t know.]

[Then why are you saving me now?]

[I don’t know that either.]

[That… what do I look like in your eyes?]

[Hmm… it is probably like this. Can you see it?]

[My vision item is in cooldown and I can’t see it now.]

[Then wait, wait until you can see again. There will always be such a day, Liu Jiayi.]

Bai Liu (6) turned and left. He followed Mu Ke, his eyes gradually lowering. No matter how much he endured it, blood started to flow from the corners of his mouth and wet his clothes. He frowned and covered his mouth. Even so, Mu Ke soon found Bai Liu (6)’s abnormality and screamed, “Bai Liu (6)! Why are you coughing up blood?!”

[System warning: Player Bai Liu’s secondary identity line has received the poisoning debuff! Health is continuing to fall! Currently at 27…]

Bai Liu (6) covered his mouth and knelt on the ground. His brow was furrowed tightly and he gritted his teeth.

“Miao Gaojiang, come and carry me. Run to the church within 10 minutes and hide in the blind spot under the pew to the right. Children can’t be killed in the church. Otherwise, we will all die when Liu Jiayi catches up with us.” Bai Liu (6) calmly and weakly gave an order. “Run!”

The moment Bai Liu (6) gave this order, he fell unconscious. Miao Gaojiang hurriedly picked up Bai Liu (6) and started to run to the church.
