"What do you mean by that?"
Wei Ziqi tilted his head, not understanding what Shao Rong was trying to convey.
"Didn't we already tell you on the rooftop before? All of us are reborn. The day of our rebirth was when the teaching building exploded, and then we went back to our childhood. Since we've already failed to this extent and have no way out, we might as well take another gamble and see if we can go back to the past. This campus and this building are the starting point of everything. We've already placed the bombs. In five minutes, this building will collapse with a roar and be engulfed by the sea of fire. It would be best if we can go back to the past. If not, it's not too much of a loss to have Lin Miaomiao as our scapegoat."
Shao Rong said it casually, as if creating such an explosion was as common as having a meal for her.
"Why go to such extremes? You weren't involved in many of the crimes. The court won't sentence you to a long term. At most, you're just an accomplice. You'll be out in a few years. Why risk your own life?!"
Wei Ziqi couldn't understand. Shao Rong had been under surveillance before and couldn't have done many illegal things. So, she should only be an accomplice within these few days. Her crime wasn't very serious. How crazy could this woman be to be so relentless in achieving her goal?
"Get out in a few years? And then what? Continue living under surveillance? Do you know how I've spent these years? Whether I'm eating, taking a shower, or going to the toilet, there's always someone standing beside me, never leaving my side. I have to endure interrogations every day. They want to pry more information out of my mouth, whether I've forgotten it or not. Even if they use hypnosis, they must make me remember! Can you feel this kind of mental oppression and inhumane torture? You can't. How happy Lin Miaomiao is living! If you had agreed to be with me back then, I wouldn't have been so jealous of Lin Miaomiao, and nothing would have happened afterwards. I've had a crush on you for so long. I've loved you for two lifetimes. In the previous life, you had no interaction with her at all. Why did you fall in love with each other in this life? Everything is wrong. It's better to start over again, or end it where it started."
Shao Rong looked at Wei Ziqi with tears in her eyes, sometimes excited, sometimes calm, sometimes crazy, sometimes desperate.
She really seemed to have gone crazy, completely insane.
Wei Ziqi knew it was useless to try to communicate with a crazy person. He shifted his gaze to Han Shuo.
"What about you? Do you think so too? Didn't you say that you came back in this rebirth to make the greatest effort to compensate and repay your kindness? Is this how you repay it? Tie Miaomiao here and die with her?"
Han Shuo was silent for a while. There was an obvious struggle in his expression. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I did want to compensate Miaomiao. I wanted to make the greatest effort and spend the rest of my life repaying my kindness. But you didn't give me this chance. You exposed my secret of rebirth and imprisoned me and my sister. She lives like this, and so do I. Over the years, my spirit has been under great pressure. Moreover, originally in college, Miaomiao had feelings for me. But after being reborn in this life, she chose you, who had no interaction with her in the previous life at all. After so many years of companionship, your position should have been mine. I no longer have the chance to compensate Miaomiao. So my sister is right. It's better to start over again."
"How can you be so sure that everything will start over again after the bomb explodes? Rebirth is such an absurd thing. Just because it happened once doesn't mean it will happen a second time. I advise you not to do something stupid now. It's more important to be alive than anything else..."
"Don't waste your breath. It's useless. Yin Chuan rescued us two from imprisonment. Whether it's to repay his kindness or for our own sake, we won't give up the chance to start over again. It's just that you've never been reborn, and you don't know if this chance will finally fall on you. But it doesn't matter. Even if you die, after we go back to the past, there will still be a young you. By then, I will definitely get to know you faster than Lin Miaomiao."
Shao Rong interrupted Wei Ziqi's persuasion. After that, no matter what Wei Ziqi said, the two of them didn't respond at all.
Time passed by second by second. The loud noise downstairs indicated that five minutes had passed. The explosions came one after another, non - stop. The fire shot up into the sky, and the thick smoke billowed.
Shao Rong and Han Shuo just calmly waited for death. Wei Ziqi hugged Miaomiao tightly and didn't waste his breath anymore.
The smoke got thicker and thicker. Wei Ziqi helped Miaomiao cover her nose and mouth. At this time, Miaomiao, who had been in a coma, slowly opened her eyes.
"Teacher Wei, where are we? Why is there so much smoke?"
Miaomiao's voice was extremely weak. Wei Ziqi gave her a gentle smile and replied, "I don't know where we are either. But it doesn't matter. No matter where you go, I'll be with you. It's always been like this these years, and it will be the same in the future."
"I know Teacher Wei won't leave me, but I feel so painful all over."
Miaomiao didn't notice that her tone was even a bit coquettish. For the first time being coquetted by the person he loved, Wei Ziqi threw away all his shyness in the past and hugged Miaomiao even tighter.
"Be good. I'll blow on it for you. It won't hurt after I blow on it." Wei Ziqi lovingly comforted the wounds on Miaomiao's body and kept blowing on them with his mouth.
The temperature around them got hotter and hotter. Miaomiao seemed to sense something and asked, "Teacher Wei, I feel so cold. Am I going to die? They all say that only dead people are cold."
"No. With me here, how could I let Miaomiao die?"
Wei Ziqi coaxed Miaomiao gently. He looked around and just then, the door on the rooftop exploded. The fire immediately rushed in. Shao Rong and Han Shuo who were sitting at the door were instantly burned.
Wei Ziqi thought he couldn't just sit there waiting for death. He picked up Miaomiao and walked to the edge of the rooftop. He looked down. This building was five stories high. Jumping down like this, they would either die or be disabled. Especially since they were seriously injured, they would probably die for sure.
Forget it. It's all the same whether you stretch your neck or shrink it. It's better to jump down and end it quickly rather than being burned to death and suffering the pain and torture of the fire.
Moreover, there were so many trees beside them and there were flowers, plants, and grass below. Maybe they could still find a glimmer of hope.
The fire behind them was getting bigger and bigger. Half of the rooftop had already been burned into a sea of fire. Wei Ziqi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, lowered his head and kissed Miaomiao's cheek, saying, "Be good. Close your eyes. I'll take you home."
With that, Wei Ziqi jumped off. In mid - air, he had completely exhausted his strength. With the mood of going to his death, his will relaxed. His eyes went black and he fainted. Before closing his eyes, there was only one thought in his mind.
Hold Miaomiao tightly and don't let her get hurt.
