Quick Time Travel: Self-immolation

Lin Xia slapped the big mixed-race boy on the forehead, causing him to scream in surprise.

"Lin, what are you doing!"

Lin Xia looked at his palm and said without regret: "I just want to verify whether my slap has the effect of enlightenment."

"...What are you crazy about?" Wei An rubbed to the side, wanting to get away from her, but she caught him by the back collar, preventing him from escaping.

"Which one of us is crazy?! Bai Qin? Don't you know Bai Qin?!" Lin Xia became a little angry as she spoke, and she didn't know whether she was angry at her friend for not having any sense of danger at all, or because anything else.

Vian nuzui: "Of course I know Bai Qin."

In fact, how many people working in the newspaper office don't know about Bai Qin?How many colleagues have sharpened their heads and come forward to ask for an exclusive interview with that distinguished lady, how could they not know?

Lin Xia hates iron for being weak: "Then don't you wonder why she went to a refugee camp?"

The big boy of German and Italian mixed race turned red when he heard the words: "In order to meet me."

Lin Xia: "..."

Well, the symptoms of her friend "falling in love" began to appear, and Lin Xia called this frequent symptom—stupidity.

Unceremoniously slapped him on the forehead again, Lin Xia said, "Anyway, don't get close to Bai Qin anymore."

Wei An was dissatisfied: "Aren't you also listening to the editor-in-chief's advice and running to approach her in private?"

Lin Xia was choked, and explained patiently: "I'm different from you. I don't believe in rumors, and I don't think she was involved in any murder, so I believe in her character. There is no problem for me to approach her, because I just did it for the interview, for work."

Speaking of this, she changed her tone: "But I don't think she is a good love partner. Look, who has she accepted over the years? How many people are crazy about her, and even commit suicide just to win her attention. Ann, don't you want to be one of those people who cry, make trouble and hang themselves? It's too ugly!"

Wei An was silent, and after a while he sighed: "Lin, I know. I never expected that I would become a special existence in the eyes of that noble lady."

Seeing him awake, Lin Xia breathed a sigh of relief, she reached out and hugged him: "You deserve better, Wei An."

At this time, Lin Xia thought her friend had awakened, but she didn't expect that a few days later, she received a call from the editor-in-chief, telling her that Wei'an had been beaten to a broken leg and was admitted to the hospital.

reason?

Her friend's friends in Bai Qin's house to the inside of Bai Qin's house were told by the people inside.

Lin Xia: =_=

What a worry-free guy!

Although she was furious, concern finally prevailed. She rushed to the hospital without stopping, and then saw her friend with a bruised nose and a swollen face.Before she had time to get angry, the little bastard took the lead and started crying.

"Lin, I'm so uncomfortable! I'm so uncomfortable!"

"..." Lin Xia said sarcastically, with no expression on his face, "Your head is swollen like a pig's head, don't feel bad, you are a warrior!"

Wei An held his chest: "No, Lin, my heart hurts even more! Ah, my heart hurts so much that I want to die!"

At this time, he is still in the mood to talk about romance, and Lin Xia is almost annoyed by him: "Then you go to hell, don't expect me to attend your funeral, you go to hell alone!"

Wei An abnormally didn't chat with her, gave her a rather lonely look, then turned around and ignored her.

Lin Xia: "..."

She sighed and left the room.When she walked out of the hospital, she called her editor-in-chief to ask for leave, and stopped a taxi outside the hospital.Half an hour later, she appeared outside Bai Qin's residence.

The servant who was pruning the flower branches in the garden found her and came over to ask.

"My name is Lin Xia. A few days ago, Miss Bai promised me an exclusive interview, but I carelessly left the recorder behind, so..."

The servant seemed to know her, and after a little hesitation, he agreed to convey it to her.

Another half an hour passed before the servant appeared again, this time holding something in his hand, which was her voice recorder and notebook.

Lin Xia took it, but did not leave immediately, but asked hesitantly: "...Can I meet Miss Bai? I want to thank her in person."

The servant seemed to have been instructed, but said politely but alienated: "I'm sorry, madam is busy."

"That's it..." Lin Xia heard the other party's perfunctory intentions, and forced a smile, "Then let's talk about it next time."

After speaking, he sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, it was impossible to see Bai Qin easily.

Just when she was disappointed, the horn of a car came from behind her. She was startled, and immediately gave way. The car did not drive over as scheduled, but a familiar voice came.

"Sweetheart, long time no see!"

sweetheart……

Lin Xia was silent for a moment, then she looked up, and sure enough, she saw Allie Born sticking her head out of the car window and smiling at her.

"...Miss Boen." She greeted him feebly.

"Oh, why does Sweetheart look so disappointed?" Ai Li got out of the car and leaned towards her, "Is there anything bothering you, tell me?"

Lin Xia originally wanted to exchange some pleasantries and leave, but she thought of something and changed her mind: "Is Miss Aili here to find Miss Bai?"

"That's right."

"Then can you take me in together?" Lin Xia asked eagerly.

Ai Li laughed: "Pfft, if it's my sweetheart's request, of course it's my duty."

So, with the help of Miss Boen's family, Lin Xia finally met Bai Qin, who was obviously a little surprised to see her.

"Because my sweetheart wanted to see you, so I brought her here." Ai Li clasped Lin Xia's waist with one hand, and explained lazily, "Baby, come and tell Miss Bai, why are you Do you want to see her?"

Bai Qin was even more surprised.

Lin Xia was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in the floor, she said, "I don't have to see you, I just want to thank you in person, and then... I have a request, I hope I can meet you in front of Miss Bai. face to face."

"Oh?" Ellie booed from the side, "What request? I'm going to be jealous!"

Bai Qin smiled gently: "What request does Reporter Lin have? I will do my best."

Obviously not long ago she rejected Lin Xia's request to meet, but now she has a generous look of "I can do anything for you", which really makes people unable to understand her true thoughts.

Without thinking about it, Lin Xia said with some embarrassment: "It's a bit presumptuous, I hope you can go to the hospital to visit a friend of mine."

As she said herself, it was so presumptuous that she blushed herself!

really--

"I'm sorry, I've been busy recently." Bai Qin declined.

Lin Xia was not surprised, but disappointment is inevitable.She originally wanted to ask Bai Qin to reject his friend face to face, so that he could recover, but now it seemed hopeless.

"It's understandable, but thank you very much." She paused, "I took the liberty of interrupting you, so I...go away."

With the expected result, Lin Xia left the reception room.When she came out, the servant who sent her out stopped her:

"Miss Lin, Madam invites you to wait for her in the study."

"……Eh?"

"Miss Lin, please."

Lin Xia followed the servant into the study in a daze.

The moment she entered the study, she thought she had stepped into the National Library!The collection of books here is unbelievably large, and they are put away in categories, looking orderly.

Lin Xia couldn't help being amazed, she looked around, she didn't notice when the servant left, and when she recovered, she was the only one left in the study.

She walked around the study room and walked to the desk after satisfying the novelty, wanting to sit there and wait.When she got close to the desk, she saw an unpacked painting on the desk.

It was an unfinished painting.

In the painting is a butterfly with broken wings, with crimson lines like blood, as if exuding an ominous atmosphere.

Lin Xia couldn't help thinking of the tattoo on Bai Qin's neck.

Thinking about it this way, when she looked at the butterfly in the painting, she felt differently.Inexplicably, her heartbeat began to lose balance.

She stared at the painting closely, and the bloody strokes stimulated her eyeballs. In this overly quiet study room, she seemed to be in a semi-psychedelic state, and she felt that she heard the wailing of the butterflies in the painting.

Grief, unwillingness, and struggling to get rid of the darkness for redemption... all kinds of complex emotions came up, and she knew that this was the will of the butterfly in the painting.

She didn't realize her tears were falling.

"Are you crying?" Someone asked her softly, with a nice voice, like some kind of expensive musical instrument.

And she hasn't come out of the psychedelic state yet, so she doesn't quite understand what the other party means: "What?"

Immediately afterwards, warm fingers touched her eyelids, gently wiping away her tears.In the hazy tears, she saw a face that was so beautiful that it was unreal, it was...

Bai Qin.

Lin Xia suddenly recovered.

"Are you awake?" Bai Qin smiled at her, "Why are you crying alone?"

Lin Xia sniffled in embarrassment. She glanced sideways at the painting on the table, but found that the painting was still shocking, but far from the intense and palpitating touch before.

"This painting..." She hesitated to speak.

"I drew it casually, it's clumsy." Bai Qin smiled.

Lin Xia was surprised: "Miss Bai can still draw?"

"Just to pass the time."

"The painting is really good." Lin Xia paused, "Can you please send me one? I also like butterflies."

Bai Qin glanced at her: "If my painting gets out, I will be ashamed to death." The implication is that this is a polite refusal.

"I will keep it well."

"If you really like it, I still have a lot of paintings of butterflies. If you like it, you can take it back."

So, still doesn't work?

Lin Xia was a little disappointed, she waved her hand: "It still doesn't work, how could I have the nerve to take away those famous paintings." Worried that Bai Qin would really give her famous paintings, she quickly changed the subject, "Miss Aili has gone back already?"

"Well, go back."

"Then is it okay for Miss Bai to keep me here?"

Bai Qinyang smiled slightly: "I'm just curious about some things, so I want to ask reporter Lin."

Lin Xia was a little stunned, she asked in a daze, "Ask me?"

Bai Qin let out a "hmm", then suddenly stretched out his hand to caress Lin Xia's face, rubbed it gently, and in this intimate gesture, he asked with a smile: "I just want to know...Reporter Lin, are you here?" Are you approaching me on purpose?"

She asked again, "What do you want from me?"
