For five years, he stayed in a confined space, repeating the same boring work day in and day out.

This sounded like a huge torture, enough to drive an ordinary person completely crazy.

But in reality … Shi Qing didn't have such a deep understanding.

Time passed much faster than he imagined. It was as if five years had passed in the time it took to drink a cup of water and eat a meal!

Perhaps it was because he couldn't sense anything even though he was in Xia Nuo's body. Without the five senses of a human, the passing of time was not worth mentioning.

When the restoration was complete, he suddenly realized that it was done!

He was extremely excited and couldn't wait to see Qin Mo!

But then, he fell into darkness. His body was restored and his soul gradually merged with Xia Nuo's body. The previous lightness disappeared and was replaced by exhaustion and heaviness.

Although it wasn't a good feeling, he felt a sense of security. Compared to being illusory, being a human was much more practical.

Merging with the body didn't happen as quickly as expected. His consciousness was clear, but the newly restored body needed a slow process of acceptance. This couldn't be rushed. No matter how anxious Shi Qing was, he had to endure it. He couldn't waste all his efforts at the last moment.

Although he couldn't control his body, Shi Qing's consciousness could float out. He couldn't talk to Qin Mo, but he could at least take a look.

The moment he popped his head out, he heard Yan Qi's words. "Master, please let Mr Shi rest in peace!"

Shi Qing's soul trembled. What the f * ck, Little Qi, I treated you well in the past. Why are you burying me alive now? Ahhhh!

In the next second, the broken string in Shi Qing's brain was reconnected.

Oh my god!

How could he have forgotten such a serious matter!

Five years!

Five years!

He had stopped breathing for five years. Under normal circumstances, he would have been buried long ago!

Who would guard a 'corpse' for five years?

He actually forgot such an important matter. If he was really buried, what could he do even if his body recovered?

Wouldn't he continue to die?

Wait … From the looks of it, he wasn't buried yet?

He hurriedly rushed up and saw the scene in front of him.

What entered her eyes was a young man standing upright in front of the window. His slender figure and exquisite appearance made people gasp in admiration.

But at this moment, his expression was so cold that it seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. His thin lips were pursed into a line, and his black eyes, which were denser than any human's, were filled with anger, burning coldly like mysterious ice.

"Scram!

Get out of here! "

Yan Qi knelt on the ground with his head hanging low. Blood gushed out from his injured arm, but he knelt there silently as if he could not feel the pain.

Qi Zimo snorted. "What?

Do you really think I won't kill you? "

Yan Qi lowered his head. His voice was hoarse because of the pain. "Yan Qi's life belongs to master."

Although it was a very submissive statement, Qi Zimo was completely enraged at this moment. He raised his hand and another three sharp rays of light flew straight over, accurately hitting his other arm and kneeling knee.

Yan Qi groaned in pain, but he still spoke with difficulty. "Master, Mr. Shi has left!"

Qi Zimo looked at him from above. Under his thick eyelashes, there was complete darkness. "Since you want to die so much, I'll fulfill your wish."

Just as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and a violent whirlwind attacked Yan Qi. It hit his entire body in an instant. The huge force threw him more than five meters away, through the door, and finally hit the hard wall.

Yan Qi was completely unconscious. Qi Zimo looked at him coldly and then ordered, "Carry him away!"

Seeing Qi Zimo's rage, the guards outside did not dare to resist. They lowered their heads and walked forward quickly, carefully carrying Yan Qi away.

This was General Yan. If it was someone else, he would have died.

He had just come out of the small dark room and saw such an exciting scene. Shi Qing was completely stunned.

The door was closed. Only Qi Zimo and Shi Qing were left in the spacious room.

Shi Qing did not know how long it would take for him to wake up completely. He could only wait and watch.

After watching for only a day, Shi Qing felt that he was going crazy.

The moment he thought about how Qi Zimo had been like this for five years, his heart ached immensely.

There was no one else around. Qi Zimo also restrained his anger. When he looked at Shi Qing again, his eyes were full of tenderness.

He hugged Shi Qing gently and held his hand tightly. As he stroked his hand, he said, "They all said that you left, but you were clearly in my arms. You were so quiet, so obedient, and so dependent on me."

After saying that, he smiled dotingly. "Shi Qing, you can't leave me, right?"

"You promised me that you will stay by my side forever. You will be with me forever. You even said that you will marry me."

As he said that, his eyes suddenly lit up. It was as if he thought of something beautiful. The light in his eyes was as bright as the rising sun.

He straightened Shi Qing's body and let him lean against the chair. Then, he got up and half-knelt in front of him. He completely ignored Shi Qing's limp body and tightly shut eyes. It was as if Shi Qing was really sitting there and looking at him with a smile.

Qi Zimo was very excited and even a little nervous. He stared at Shi Qing. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have thought of something. He hurriedly got up and said embarrassedly, "Shi Qing, wait a moment!"

He got up and walked outside. But after taking two steps, he stepped back. He smiled at Shi Qing. "You will be afraid here alone, right?

I will take you with me! "

As he spoke, he carried the young man by the waist and walked briskly to the study. When he reached the study, he did not put Shi Qing down. Instead, he carried him to the desk. Before opening the drawer, he covered Shi Qing's tightly closed eyes with his hand. "Don't peek."

Then he quickly took out the things in the drawer.

After leaving the study, he wanted to go back to the bedroom. But through the window, he saw a sea of flowers outside and changed his mind.

He carried Shi Qing to the courtyard. Under the bright sun, among the pink sea of flowers and the pure white chair, everything was as dreamy and beautiful as a fairy tale.

Qi Zimo placed Shi Qing on the chair and took out the ring that he had prepared long ago. He knelt on one knee again. He looked at the unconscious young man almost sincerely. There was no calmness or coldness. There was only the nervousness and excitement of a teenager.

"Shi Qing, let's get married!"

Shi Qing floated in the air and looked at this scene. He only felt that his heart had been hollowed out.

No one would respond to him. A 'dead person' could not promise anything.

But Qi Zimo was not the least bit dissatisfied. He still smiled and put the ring on Shi Qing's left ring finger. He leaned close to him and whispered, "Are you shy?

It's okay. You promised me a long time ago. I know. "

After speaking, he held Shi Qing's face and gently kissed his slightly pale lips. "Shi Qing, it's so good. You are by my side. You can never leave me."

For the entire day, Qi Zimo and Shi Qing were together like this.

The sky darkened. Just like every other night, he helped Shi Qing wash up, helped him change his clothes, carried him to bed, whispered sweet nothings to him, gave him a goodnight kiss, and then fell asleep sweetly.

But when he really fell asleep, he kept waking up.

It was as if he was immersed in a beautiful dream during the day, and when it was time to dream at night, all he saw was a reality that he could not face.

In the first half of the night, Qi Zimo kept waking up. After sleeping for almost half an hour, he suddenly opened his eyes and hugged the person beside him tightly. Only when he felt his presence did he continue to sleep.

But in the next half an hour, he opened his eyes again.

He kept confirming and affirming. Even if he hugged Shi Qing tightly in his arms, after waking up, he still had to confirm again to feel at ease.

This cycle repeated until it was past one o 'clock in the morning. Qi Zimo finally fell asleep.

But even when he fell asleep, he was very restless. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his fingertips were white from exertion. Shi Qing floated in the air and watched. His heart was filled with mixed feelings.

The night was destined to be haunted by nightmares. He did not know what he dreamed of, but large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. His lips trembled, and then there was a suppressed whisper.

In a daze, he seemed to be able to distinguish something. He seemed to be chasing after something and kept shouting, hoping that someone would stay, to accompany him, to be by his side.

Mother … died.

Qi Lv … died.

Grandma also left …

Shi Qing … Shi Qing … Shi Qing!

Qi Zimo suddenly opened his eyes and hugged the person beside him tightly, but his eyes were empty as if he had lost his soul.

"Shi Qing … you are angry with me, right?"

"Did I make you like this?"

"I am very disgusting … right?"

He could not fall asleep anymore. He hugged Shi Qing tightly and buried his face in his neck, like a lonely child, seeking comfort.

I killed you, I killed you, but I can't let go.

Shi Qing, I am a monster, I am a lunatic, but I only have you.

"I beg you, wake up. I beg you, don't leave me."

His hoarse voice, soft whispers, with a humble begging that completely put down his dignity.

Shi Qing's heart felt as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer. He could not imagine how Qi Zimo had endured five years, nearly two thousand days and nights. It was just one day and one night, and he was about to go crazy, but Qi Zimo had endured five whole years like this!

The heart-wrenching pain made his nose ache uncontrollably, and tears flowed down his face.

The cold tears slid down his cheeks, and the slightly cold touch made Shi Qing slightly stunned. In the next moment, he slowly opened his eyes and saw black short hair.

Yes, he had returned to Xia Nuo's body.

His body, which had not moved for a long time, was a little stiff. He struggled to raise his arm and gently stroked the slightly broad back in front of him. His voice was very low, so hoarse that he almost could not speak, "Little Mo, I'm back."

The body that was hugging him suddenly tensed up, so stiff that it was as if it had been fixed.

Shi Qing's heart clenched, and the tears in his eyes flowed down as if they were free.

This posture was really not good, but he did not care so much. He hugged Qin Mo with all his strength and said loudly, "I'm not dead!

I'm alive!

I told you, I won't die!

I'm your system!

I will never die! "

His body was suddenly pulled away, and Qi Zimo stared at him fixedly. The ecstasy in his black eyes was like fireworks that suddenly exploded, and it was so beautiful that it lit up the dark hell as bright as day!

At this moment, time forgot to move.

The two of them stared at each other for a long time as if they were frozen in time.

Qi Zimo looked at the person in front of him, and his empty eyes focused. He just stared like this in a daze, afraid that if he blinked, this would be another unexpected dream.

Shi Qing looked at him with heartache, and promised loudly without hesitation, "I'm here, I'm here, I've always been here, I've never left, and I'll never leave!"

His straightforward words were like the most beautiful music in the world, and it ignited the hope of life in Qi Zimo's withered soul.

He finally reacted, and the corners of his thin lips curled up slightly. An extremely shallow smile bloomed slowly like a beautiful flower, so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

He looked at Shi Qing fixedly, and his palm touched his cheek. His low and hoarse voice was filled with unconcealable cautiousness, "Shi Qing …"

"I'm here!"

"Shi Qing …"

"I'm here!"

"Shi Qing!"

"I'm here!"

"Shi Qing, Shi Qing, Shi Qing …" He kept calling in a low voice, as if he had been possessed.

Shi Qing did not even have a trace of impatience, and kept repeating. The certainty made his suspicious heart gradually calm down.

Qi Zimo came back to life. He smiled, and finally blinked. A drop of sparkling tear slid down his white cheek and dripped into Shi Qing's palm.

Immediately after, there was a burst of heat. In Shi Qing's palm, there were his own tears and Qi Zimo's tears. The sparkling water droplets merged together, and a burst of white light appeared.

Then, a dazzling drop of crystal lay there.

Obtained the Tear of Life, mission completed.

After a short prompt, Qi Zimo fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a moment of confusion in his black eyes, and then they focused. It was so dense that it was like a deep black vortex. He looked at Shi Qing, lowered his head, and kissed him fiercely on the lips.

"It's been hard on you, my Shi Qing."
