Chapter 16: The Past

There was a steady stream of cars on the road, and a Lamborghini was driving slowly in it.

"Thank you, you're such a nice person," said a woman in heavy makeup in a Lamborghini with her head bowed to the man next to her.

It's not Chu He and the woman he brought out of the bar.

"The first time we met, I was given a good person card, I should thank you or leave you on the side of the road. Chu He looked straight ahead and said with a cold expression.

"Yes... I'm sorry. The woman with heavy makeup whispered, with endless apologies in her words: "If someone else might turn around and leave, you came back to stand up for me......"

Chu River: #&%@*... I actually want to go, okay.

"No thanks. Chu He smiled, turned his head and glanced at the woman with heavy makeup, just in time to meet the woman's gaze.

When their eyes met, the woman with heavy makeup looked away first and lowered her head shyly.

From the bar here, it was the first time she had seen Chu He's face so clearly.

It's so handsome~

A faint flush appeared on the face of the woman with heavy makeup.

As if he hadn't seen the woman's reaction, Chu He casually asked, "What's your name?"

"Huh?" The woman with heavy makeup was stunned for a moment: "My name is Su Mi, Su of Gusu, looking for Mi Mi." ”

Su Mi hesitated for a moment and stretched out his hand towards Chu He.

"............" Chu He held the steering wheel with both hands and looked at Su Mi with a look of criticism.

After hesitating for a moment, Chu He still took out a hand and shook it with Su Mi.

Su Mi ...... Good name. Chu He sighed casually.

"Thank you. Su Mi said with a red face.

"Don't rush to thank you just yet. Chu He parked the car in the parking space on the side of the road, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a deep breath, and spit the smoke into the night: "The bald man said that they paid you to accompany you to drink, I shouldn't care about this kind of thing." ”

Chu He turned his head to look at Su Mi, and his sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through all of Su Mi's thoughts.

I don't know if I heard Chu He's words or felt Chu He's gaze, Su Mi's body trembled violently.

"I'm sorry for the trouble. Su Mi shook her head in horror, the fear in her eyes didn't seem to be fake.

Su Mi unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and was about to open the car door.

With a "bang", Chu He directly locked the car door.

"Explain explain. Chu He took another puff of his cigarette, and the coldness in his tone was undisguised.

Su Mi couldn't help it at all, and sobbed quietly.

It was only after a long time that she told the truth.

........................

Su Mi was originally just an ordinary sophomore in the magic capital.

When Su Mi was still very young, her mother died in a car accident.

To this day, Su Mi still remembers the scene at that time.

It was Su Mi's birthday, and her mother took Su Mi, who was only ten years old, to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.

"Today is a big day, you were born ten years ago today. The mother had a happy smile on her face. "Mom still remembers that you were born heavy, a big fat boy, seven and a half pounds, and cried louder than many boys. ”

When Su Mi was a child, she didn't know anything about this, she just smiled stupidly.

The sun shines through the tarpaulin of the wet market and falls on the faces of the two.

Su Mi remembers very well that her mother bought a big fish that day, and there were many dishes that Su Mi liked to eat.

Mother said that she must have a good birthday and cook a table of big dishes in the evening, especially the boiled fish fillet that Su Mi likes to eat.

The mother held the vegetable basket in one hand and Su Mi in the other, and the two walked on the road, talking and laughing.

Su Mi seemed to sing a nursery rhyme from music class that day, making her mother laugh.

Recently.

When her mother pulled Su Mi out of the vegetable market, an accident happened.

A Santana sped from an intersection not far from the wet market, followed by a dozen police cars.

Su Mi saw the man in the driver's seat sticking his head out of the window, his hands completely off the steering wheel, and a middle finger at the police car far behind, and then laughed.

The smile was indescribably crazy and hideous.

Subsequently, mutations sprung up.

Santana lost control and headed towards the vegetable market, facing Su Mi's mother and daughter.

Su Mi watched as Santana's front of the car zoomed in and out of view.

In a panic, her mother pushed Su Mi away, but she was knocked out by Santana because she didn't have time to dodge.

When Su Mi came back to her senses, her mother had fallen in a pool of blood, and her brains were splashed all over the ground.

Su Mi got up from the stall pushed by her mother and walked to her mother's side, her mother's eyes were round open, her eyes were full of horror, and blood kept flowing out of her eyes.

Su Mi was frightened.

She had never seen her mother like this, it was terrifying, and at the age of ten, she didn't even know what death was.

Su Mi was stunned, and the man driving Santana was also stunned.

He sat in the driver's seat of Santana, gasping for air.

Su Mi raised her head and looked at the man.

This time, Su Mi saw the man's face thoroughly.

Bald head, a scar extends from the ear to the mouth.

According to Su Mi's description, Shen Da that Chu He met at the bar was eight points similar to the face of the man who drove a Santana.

In a trance, Su Mi heard the sound of a siren.

The man driving Santana seemed to hear it too, and subconsciously started the car.

Santana disappeared into the silence of the wet market.

........................

The hospital ruled that Su Mi's mother died on the spot in a car accident.

Since then.

Su Mi no longer likes to celebrate birthdays.

........................

........................

Ten years have passed.

It was her father who brought her up.

On the day of my mother's accident, my father worked overtime at the company.

The three of them originally agreed to be at home at seven o'clock in the evening to give Su Mi a grand and simple birthday.

The mother was absent.

Su Mi finished the birthday cake that her father bought.

The father sat opposite Su Mi and was silent.

No boiled fillet, no mother.

........................

Half a month later.

A group of people in police uniforms came to Su Mi's house.

Father locked Su Mi in the room.

Su Mi witnessed the whole process through the crack in the door.

The policeman at the head bowed to his father and said something.

Su Mi didn't hear it clearly, probably meaning that the man who drove Santana was not caught and was escaped by him, so there was no compensation, but they applied for a grant for their father.

The policeman in charge took a document bag from the person behind him and placed it on the coffee table.

The father didn't speak, got up and went to the door, opened it, and invited them all out.

Since then, the home has become deserted, and the living room is forever filled with a portrait of her mother.

........................

........................

Ten years later......

Su Mi was admitted to university, Fudan University.

Su Mi was very happy and unhappy that day, she ran to the cemetery alone and talked a lot to her mother.

In the past ten years, his father has brought him up alone, and he has found two jobs by himself.

I went to work in the company during the day, and at night I went to work as a helper at a barbecue stall not far from Su Mi's house.

Life is not poor, but Su Mi does not feel happy.

Every year, my father would buy a birthday cake on Su Mi's birthday, but my father didn't eat it, Su Mi didn't eat it, and the cake was placed in front of my mother's portrait.

A week later, the cake smelled.

Father threw it away.

The following year continued.

........................

Day after day, year after year.

Su Mi thought that his whole life would probably be like this, plain and bland.

But life doesn't seem to let go of their family.

My father fell ill.

The hospital said that he had advanced lung cancer and that there was no room for treatment.

Su Mi never knew that her father had lung cancer.

My father used to smoke, and every time he smoked secretly, Su Mi would find out, and Su Mi turned around and told her mother.

His mother would rush over and take away all his lighters and cigarettes.

After the mother left, the father seemed to be unrestrained.

Every time her father came home, Su Mi could smell a strong smell of smoke.

Over the course of ten years, my father's voice became more and more hoarse, and he often coughed.

Su Mi didn't know that her father had lung cancer until that day.

Diseases with the highest mortality rates.

The hospital said that he had been checked, and it was only early stage of lung cancer at first.

The hospital advised him to quit smoking and take some medical measures while hospitalized.

The chances of surviving are still very high.

The father refused.

Until that day, my father fell ill.
