Stealing Pens: Travelers from the End of the World

Chapter 272 Bracelet

Qin Yuchen: "..."

After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, as if to prove that what he said was true, he just focused on packing the medical kit and didn't even look at Qin Yuchen's current expression.

"No..." Qin Yuchen's heart suddenly became restless after he found out that it was not a joke. He wanted to hold Zhang Qiling who was about to leave, but then he thought that it was not suitable to stay here any longer, so he quickly asked 007 to pack up his things and follow Zhang Qiling.

"I was not thoughtful enough to tell you about the mine tunnel explosion. I only thought I was confident but forgot that you would be scared if you saw such a scene.

I'm sorry for not considering your feelings, so...you can do whatever you want, but you can't ignore me!"

Zhang Qiling just kept walking forward, while the people following him kept chattering. His tense expression had relaxed as soon as he heard Qin Yuchen's explanation.

The reason he didn't speak at this moment was because he was still trying to calm his beating heart.

The two of them walked down the mountain, with the one in front walking and the one behind following closely.

The voice behind him didn't last long. After that long sentence, only footsteps could be heard.

Zhang Qiling sighed softly, stopped and looked back at Qin Yuchen.

When I turned around, I saw Qin Yuchen with his head down, not looking at the road, but paying attention to the linen rope in his hand, what he was weaving.

When he stopped, the person following him almost missed a step. When Qin Yuchen reached out his hand, he had already retracted his foot and stabilized his body. He looked up at him in confusion:

"Ok?"

Zhang Qi Ling:"……"

Zhang Qiling was almost laughing out of anger, and just stood there watching Qin Yuchen lower his head to fiddle with the rope again.

"Ha! Done!" Qin Yuchen tied the last knot, took Zhang Qiling's hand and put it on his wrist.

"I just made this bracelet casually as an apology for this time."

"So please stop ignoring me, okay?"

Qin Yuchen curled his eyes and looked at Zhang Qiling with a serious and focused expression.

"...I was just trying to scare you." Zhang Qiling held Qin Yuchen's hand and said helplessly.

He looked at the bracelet on his wrist. Qin Yuchen said it was casually woven, but in fact, the style was simple and elegant.

Its owner was very careful in making it, and Zhang Qiling could feel a certain energy from the black jade embellishment in the middle, which made him feel comfortable and warm.

"Well, do you like this?" Qin Yuchen asked with raised eyebrows as he looked at Zhang Qiling's index finger touching the black jade.

"Yeah, I like it." Zhang Qiling blinked his eyes, and seeing Qin Yuchen's relieved look, the smile on his lips widened:

"This, do you have any more?"

"Huh? Yes." Qin Yuchen took out a new roll and handed it to Zhang Qiling.

I got this from 007, you can have as much as you want.

There is also that piece of black jade. I heard from 007 that the jade can bring good luck to people, and wearing it can also prolong life and prevent diseases.

So Qin Yuchen decisively asked 007 to grind out a small piece and then strung it on the bracelet.

"Let's go." Zhang Qiling held the soft rope and the black jade, turned around and continued walking forward.

Qin Yuchen tilted his head and saw that he had also started to weave the bracelet. He raised his eyebrows and took the initiative to walk to the front to lead the way.

After a while, a bracelet of the same style as Zhang Qiling's appeared on Qin Yuchen's left wrist.

"Huh? What's the function?" Qin Yuchen joked with a smile.

"A return gift for the apology." Zhang Qiling also joked.

"Okay, that makes sense." Qin Yuchen shook the bracelet and nodded, thinking that there was nothing wrong with what he said.

"Ah."

Qin Yuchen first returned to the courtyard with Zhang Qiling, and then went to find Wuxie two days later.

Wuxie locked himself in the basement for a long time. He was decadent and unkempt. When he saw Qin Yuchen, he was a little shocked and didn't understand why Qin Yuchen could find him.

Qin Yuchen came so suddenly that Wuxie had no time to clean up anything. The table was filled with messy documents and videotapes. He was a little flustered and just piled the documents and waste paper together. Then he poured a glass of water for Qin Yuchen and asked him to sit down.

"How did Yu Chen find this place?" Wu Xie yawned and used the action of drinking water to cover up his embarrassment.

"Since I know the secrets of Wu Sansheng and the others, I must also know these places." Qin Yuchen glanced around and had a clear view of the entire area.

Apart from a bunk bed and a desk, the rest were filled with tapes and books, the contents of which were unknown.

"Uh...that's true." Wuxie felt even more embarrassed. "Then what's the matter with you looking for me?"

"I came to give you a gift." Qin Yuchen looked at Wuxie's appearance and couldn't help laughing.

"You should pay more attention to your health. How come you've become even thinner after being trained by Blind Man for so long?"

Wuxie: "..."

For a moment, I couldn't tell whether this sentence was sarcastic or caring.

Wuxie chose not to comment, so as to avoid hearing real sarcasm.

"what gift?"

Qin Yuchen put a pile of photos on the table and pushed them towards Wuxie.

Wuxie picked up the top one and frowned when he saw the content on it: "Who is this?"

"The Wang family," Qin Yuchen said, "I met them on the mission, and then I turned them into human pigs."

“…” Wuxie unfolded the other pictures, all of them were human pigs, 360 degrees without any blind spots, from every angle.

Wuxie closed his eyes and said uncertainly:

"This...is this a gift?"

"No." Qin Yuchen answered honestly.

After he saw Wuxie secretly breathe a sigh of relief, he added, "The gift is not a photo."

“…” If the gift isn’t a photo, then it’s something in the photo.

"I...this..." Wuxie hesitated, really not understanding what Qin Yuchen meant.

Qin Yuchen took a sip of water, supported his face with his hands and smiled, "I heard that you have a tendency to self-harm, but it's better to take it out on your enemies than on yourself.

So I happened to run into them and made one for you."

"I... don't have any tendency to self-harm." Wuxie subconsciously touched the dagger at his waist, "So I don't need this thing."

Qin Yuchen raised his eyebrows following Wuxie's movements: "Don't you want to vent your anger?"

Wuxie said decisively: "I don't want to."

Qin Yuchen: "Okay, then show me your arm."

Wuxie rolled up his sleeves obediently.

The forearm was lean and strong, clean and white, with no visible wounds.

"If you hurt yourself, I'll always have you covered."

Qin Yuchen nodded and casually said that it seemed the news was wrong. He stood up and didn't plan to stay any longer.

If you injure yourself once, I'll give you one, no matter if it means peeling off your skin or pulling out your tendons, as long as this shabby place of yours can hold it."

"Okay, you're busy, I'll leave first."

The change in attitude was so sudden that Wuxie hadn't reacted yet. The sound of the door closing and the receding footsteps indicated that Qin Yuchen had really left.

His eyes fell on the photos on the table and he didn't move away. He patted his chest with some fear, exhaled silently, put away the photos and put them in the drawer.

Qin Yuchen was right. He really wanted to use self-harm to remember the innocent people he had killed.

But after this experience, he gave up the idea.

He didn't want to find himself living among the living dead when he opened his eyes or closed them.
