“Bang—”
She took out a fruit knife from under the pillow and threw it on the ground.
"Don't even think about running away. If you run, I will commit suicide on this bed. Based on my body, the police can identify you as a pervert and convict you of a crime. In Wanguo City, that's a death penalty."
Li Tao smiled bitterly, not knowing what to do. Is this called putting the blame on someone else?
"Speak now. Do you want to drink or not? If you are not thirsty, then you can go on your way."
Although the fruit knife was so close to him and was emitting a cruel arc of light, what frightened Li Tao more was the absurd thing that had happened before.
He licked his dry lips and asked tentatively: "A little thirsty..."
Xiang Lian didn't waste any words, she directly opened the quilt, looked at Li Tao expressionlessly and said: "I'll satisfy you before you die, come on."
"I'm kidding, just kidding..."
Li Tao was dizzy and his head was blank. Why did this happen? He would never touch alcohol again.
Li Tao muttered: "You haven't given birth yet, how can you help me..."
"You still want me... to have a baby..." Xiang Lian said in a trembling voice.
Xiang Lian's words reminded Li Tao, and he remembered why Xiang Lian wanted to take advantage of him.
Wouldn't that mean she would be too embarrassed to meet her parents? But Xiang's father's wish back then was that she would find a boyfriend before graduation, and then get married and have a baby as soon as possible after graduation.
"Yes... yes, you haven't given birth to a baby yet, how can you die?" Li Tao said stiffly.
"You still want me to bear your child!"
"hiss--"
Xiang Lian suddenly made a painful sound and gasped.
"What's going on? Are you having a miscarriage?" Li Tao was shocked.
Xiang Lian said angrily, "Get lost! Don't you see where I'm covering?"
She covered it up, it looked like Li Tao was quite drunk...
No, could it be——
"Hey! So the immortal who agreed at that time was you!"
Li Tao was a little amused and confused. Does that mean Xiang Lian was conscious throughout the whole process?
"what?"
Xiang Lian looked at Li Tao with a confused face. It seemed that it was not as Li Tao guessed.
She then whispered, "I only woke up half an hour earlier than you, and you... I was too embarrassed to move."
Li Tao touched his nose and said awkwardly: "Sorry, I'm used to holding something when I sleep, otherwise I feel uneasy."
"Don't tell me these nonsense words."
"Pick up the knife and commit suicide. I will follow soon." Xiang Lian urged.
"Since you're not afraid of me running away, and there's a death penalty anyway, why can't you die first? Can't I follow you down?"
Xiang Lian said as a matter of course: "I don't know how to do it. I'm afraid I won't cut the right blood vessel, which will cause you to die slowly and in pain for a long time. I'll learn from you by watching you commit suicide."
"I...you are so confident..." Li Tao was so angry that he was incoherent.
Li Tao glanced at the dagger on the ground, his eyes flickered, and he seemed to have an idea in his mind.
"Wait for me to take a look."
As soon as Li Tao finished speaking, he lifted up the lower half of the quilt, causing Xiang Lian to scream.
Sure enough, it didn’t get to that point. Although her two long white legs were sweaty, her hot pants were still there.
Li Tao is still very confident in himself. He and Aunt Liu sleep in the same bed almost every day, and he has developed a reflex arc that will never attack unconsciously.
This silly girl is too naive to be a 31-year-old.
"Are you satisfied with just one look... or..."
Li Tao was so angry that he laughed and said, "You still think about me?"
Xiang Lian blushed and glared at him, her voice so low that it was inaudible: "Do you want to... I've drunk too much... I don't feel what that taste is like..."
Li Tao: “…”
"Cough cough~"
Li Tao cleared his throat, stood up from the ground and looked down at Xiang Lian.
She just happened to be looking at Li Tao with her little mouth in a daze, and almost made him lose control.
"Listen carefully. If you commit suicide now, your parents will never forgive you in the underworld."
Xiang Lian opened her mouth to refute him, but Li Tao had already put his hand on her lips.
"Don't talk yet, just listen to me."
"You know, your dad wants you to find a boyfriend. If you use the body of a virgin, it will definitely be unbearable for the old couple."
Xiang Lian's mouth was covered, but she still said unclearly: "I am not now!"
Li Tao raised his eyebrows. Now was not the time to reveal the truth.
"Let's say you're not a virgin anymore, but what can you do with your body?"
"You took your brother-in-law, Xiangxue's boyfriend's, and you used your sister's man. Do you think the old couple down there will be pissed off again?"
"Also, your father said he hoped you could have a child, right? If you die now, not only will you not have achieved that, you will also have killed two people!!!"
"boom--"
Li Tao's words exploded like thunder in Xiang Lian's heart.
Li Tao felt her lips moving, his eyebrows raised, and he slowly moved his hand away.
"One corpse, two lives..." Xiang Lian murmured dully.
Li Tao felt a little tormented. This woman was too conservative and too naive. She was completely different from her sister Xiangxue, that old pervert.
"That's right, so you can't die, at least not now!"
Li Tao's words were deafening, and Xiang Lian seemed to have really taken them to heart. She buried her face in the pillow and cried for a long time.
"Then after the baby is born, you'll say you won't raise it. They both in the afterlife won't forgive me." Xiang Lian's shoulders twitched in grievance.
"That's not necessary. It's OK if someone else takes care of you wholeheartedly, like Xiangxue, right?"
Li Tao felt that he had been deceived and even his basic humanity had been lost.
Xiang Lian stopped talking and seemed to be thinking about this matter seriously.
If he wasn't afraid that this woman would commit suicide, Li Tao really wouldn't want to take care of this mess, and even threatened him with the death penalty~
"Just listen to me. No matter what, you can't die, and don't use death to accuse me of a crime. I'll take this fruit knife and throw it away for you~"
Li Tao picked up the fruit knife on the ground and tiptoed towards the living room. He was ready to turn hostile as soon as he left the house.
Xiang Lian raised her face from the pillow, turned her head to look at Li Tao's back without saying a word.
When he really reached the bedroom door, Li Tao broke the fruit knife with his bare hands with a "click".
He took out the pen from his pocket, turned around and faced Xiang Lian and said:
"Hold it. Who told you that the pen can't be found? You're willing to die for it. If Xiangxue knew, should she be touched or cry?"
"Besides, you didn't even check if there was blood on the bed sheet? You didn't even take off your pants. You're pregnant! I don't care about you. I have to go home and get beaten up."
After Li Tao finished his mockery, he pushed the door open and ran out, leaving Xiang Lian in the bedroom holding a pen with tears in her eyes.
"The pen... is not a replacement, it's the one Xue'er gave me, it wasn't lost in the car accident..."
Xiang Lian was crying and laughing, like a crazy woman and a child. However, the moment she saw the pen, her mind went blank and she didn't hear what Li Tao said afterwards.
She only had a few scattered impressions of the pronunciation of the words, and Xianglian murmured: "Pants taken off, pregnant, beaten..."
"So he ended up threatening me that if I didn't give birth to the baby, he would take off his pants and beat me?"
Xiang Lian slowly placed her hand on her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with endless complexity...
……
"This is a 30-story building, and there's not even an elevator?"
In the dilapidated corridor, Li Tao complained in disbelief. When he got the confirmation from an old brother, his understanding was refreshed.
The guy next door was also about to go down. He patted Li Tao on the shoulder and said, "You just got tricked here, right? Alas, seeing you like this reminds me of my sophomore year. Don't rush to go down yet. Look at the time."
Then the old man told Li Tao about a rule that the Master said about these buildings.
This is ridiculous. The rule is this:
Because the buildings in Fuziyue are very cheap, the builders are desperate to lower the cost, which results in all the buildings in Fuziyue being more than 20 stories high and without elevators.
The most outrageous thing is that the buildings are very densely packed, which makes the stairs as narrow as a blade. Just like the roads on the ground, they can only allow people in one direction to pass sideways.
In any hour, people are allowed to go down the stairs within one to five minutes, and to go up the stairs within six to ten minutes, and then the rules will be changed accordingly. Those who do not follow the rules will be kicked out.
That means you can’t survive at Luma University, you can’t even get your diploma, and you’ll be asked to drop out.
"It's 8:23 now. Only descent is allowed. Wait two more minutes. It will be quick." The elder brother patted Li Tao on the shoulder and consoled him.
"There's no surveillance here. No one will know if we go down there directly, right?" Li Tao asked curiously.
The older brother shook his head in amusement: "It's exactly the same idea as when I first came here. Don't you want to think about why this rule was set?"
If it is not set up, the stairs will be blocked because there will be so many people!
Sure enough, as soon as the brother finished speaking, three or four people came up from the corner and continued to move upwards.
A building with 30 floors has many residents, of course.
"Okay, it's twenty-five, let's get started."
The elder brother took Li Tao and walked down first. Li Tao looked back at the three or four people who had just gone up. Sure enough, they stopped in the corridor where Li Tao had just stood.
Only one person can walk together by leaning sideways, so you can imagine how narrow this staircase is.
Li Tao had no idea how he and Xiang Lian managed to climb up after drinking so much.
