Chapter 175
The deep night hung over every corner of the city, and there were very few pedestrians on the road at this time, and the road was empty, and the night was like a devouring beast, and everything that could be seen around seemed to be in its belly.
Ning Shi raised his hand and looked at his watch, and there was still a quarter of an hour until eleven o'clock.
The temperature difference between day and night in City B is very large, and the cool wind blows at midnight, and the girl next to her unconsciously sneezes. When he heard the sound, he looked over, and saw the messy hair floating on the side of the girl's face, and she pinned the broken hair behind her ear and brushed it on the face of the girl next to her, and the messy hair floated back.
Luo Luo held a cup of hot cocoa in his hand, rubbed his nose, and quickly put his wrist on the handrail of the bridge, under which was cool flowing water.
Her eyes were closed, and a smile was on her lips, as if she was enjoying it all.
"Is it cold?" Ning Shi asked.
Luo Luo opened her eyes and glanced at him, Xu is light was shining, her eyes seemed to be full of stars, and her face was still smiling, well-behaved and pleasing.
"It's not cold. As she spoke, she unconsciously rubbed the hot cocoa in her hand, soaking up the remaining warmth.
Such a small action can be seen, Ning Shi can see through but not say it, raise his hand to catch a trace of her long hair, look at it fixedly, and her dark eyes slowly float up.
Luo Luo tilted his head and examined him for a while, and said with some determination: "You are a little strange today. ”
Ning Shi hooked his lips, and his eyes still fell on the strand of hair in his hand, "Is there one?"
This smile was a little unpredictable, and she looked at him timidly, and she stopped talking.
Mysterious, treacherous, like an abyss, hidden beneath the darkness and unpredictable.
Ning Shi, who used to be in the Huantan Palace, often gave her this feeling.
However, it was only for a moment, and all those unsettling emotions disappeared, so fast that she thought it was all just her own delusion.
Ning Shitan's inky eyes slowly turned to her, and his gaze seemed to be as gentle as water. The slender index finger tapped on the door of her head and chuckled, "What are you thinking?"
Luo Luo immediately exclaimed in pain, but came back to his senses, rubbed his forehead twice, and pouted a little aggrieved, "You will beat me into a fool like this." ”
Ning Shi sneered when he heard this, and looked at her left and right, "Well, it won't be any more stupid than it is now." ”
“......”
Luo Luozheng was a little angry, but she was pulled into the arms of the man unexpectedly, she was stunned, and then overflowed with a familiar peace of mind.
The man hugged her very tightly, she obediently snuggled in his arms, and the hand holding Coco gently wrapped around her waist, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
I vaguely felt that his emotions were wrong, but I didn't know what was wrong.
Fortunately, the man replied, "It's nothing, just a little tired." ”
Luo Luo's heart was relieved, and he patted him on the back, "Then let's go back quickly." ”
Ning Shi let out a faint "um", but he still didn't let go, and Luo Luo didn't dare to struggle, so he quietly lay in his arms, and even his breathing was subconsciously lighter, for fear of disturbing him.
Maybe even she hasn't realized how much she cares about the man in front of her, a breath, a movement, and even a fluttering hair on the man's head all affect her heart.
After waiting for a long time, Ning Shi let go of her. Luo Luo was afraid that he was really tired, so he hurriedly urged him to go home. Her pace was hurried and fast, and her mind was full of thoughts about getting in the car and going back quickly, but she left Ning Shi beside her, and when she suddenly came back to her senses, she found that Ning Shi was still parked in place.
Luo Luo also stopped, the distance between the two was probably less than two meters, and he looked at her with indescribable emotions in his eyes.
She walked back and came to him under his penetrating gaze.
The man still stared at her with a complicated expression, "Last chance, are you sure you want to give up on me?"
Caught off guard, Luo Luo instinctively wanted to escape, she didn't answer, just carefully wanted to see what he was thinking, and even more wanted to see her own thoughts.
Is she sure?
The question that she used to be able to answer without thinking about it has made her hesitate again.
"What......" she opened her mouth, her voice dry and tense, "would it suddenly occur to you to ask this?"
The man didn't know when he had already collected his excess emotions, and in an instant, he turned back to the original cold and arrogant Ning Shi. She still had the cup of hot cocoa in her hand, and his gaze slowly descended, and finally landed on the cup of cocoa.
"It's already cold. The cold lips seemed to have lost their temperature even with their voice.
Luo Luo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, looked at the cup in his hand, and shook it, "A little." "But there's still half a cup left, and it would be a waste to throw it away.
Ning Shi pursed her lips, raised her hand to pin her wind-blown sideburns behind her ears, and then took a step and walked in the direction of parking. It wasn't until he got into the driver's seat that his eyes fell on the already cold cup of cocoa again, and said, "I'll take it for you." ”
Luo Luo was about to put it on the cup holder, but as soon as his hand was stretched out, the man's hand also reached out, and by mistake, both of them let go, and most of the remaining cups were sprinkled on the seat and Luo Luo's body with water.
"Oops~ yes, I'm sorry. Luo Luo didn't care about his soaked pants, so he quickly got out of the car, and hurriedly pulled out the spare paper towels on the car and wiped the seats.
It's over! Ning Shi's favorite is clean, and she can't stand the slightest excess smell on the car, and she even spilled cocoa in the car by mistake...... Luo Luo was secretly annoyed, knowing that he should have thrown it directly just now.
Ning Shi was calmer, there was no superfluous expression on his face, he just comforted: "No need to wipe it, you can sit in the back first, and I will send the car to clean up tomorrow." ”
On the way back, the carriage was very quiet, and Luo Luo looked at the rapidly regressing scenery outside the window, and couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart.
The tip of her nose could still smell the sweetness at the moment, and she didn't know whether Ning Shi rejected it or liked it, but she guessed that the former was more likely, but he didn't want to say it.
You must know that Ning Shi had all kinds of quirks in the past, and even serving him vegetables would be inexplicably angry.
She hesitated, lowered the window, and immediately a cool breeze poured in, and the temperature in the carriage instantly dropped, but the air was much fresher.
Luo Luose shrunk and rubbed her arms, the wind hitting her face made her sober up a lot. She peeked at Ning Shi in the inverted mirror, only revealing a pair of eyes, and from her point of view, her eyelids were slightly drooping, but she couldn't see anything different.
Luo Luo slowly retracted his gaze, but the window next to him slowly rose. She didn't know why, but she heard Ning Shi's usual indifferent voice: "The temperature difference between day and night is large, and you are so greedy for cold and easy to catch a cold." ”
The car quickly drove off the expressway and headed in the direction of the university town, the street lights on both sides kept flashing, and the road was dark. The temperature in the car quickly warmed up, and she turned her head to look out the window, and everything was shrouded in peace and tranquility.
There was a loud bang, and that moment was almost like a key paragraph outlined in a textbook, and she remembered every detail clearly. In a daze, she was pushed backwards and forwards by a huge force, and every nerve suddenly entered a tense and frightened state.
A blue truck was coming straight at them.
The car gradually lost its original track and balance under the tremendous force, drifted on the flat ground for a few spins, and then slammed into the pine trees on the side of the road.
Luo Luo hit his head, and there was a momentary whistling in his head, and he only felt dizzy, and his whole body lost his strength. All her senses were blurred at this moment, and she shook her lips, trying to say something, but in vain.
In the haze, she seemed to see Ning Shi, his face was covered with blood, and his outstretched hand was also stained with a large patch of viscous bright red.
He seemed to touch her, and she closed her eyes tiredly, but her voice could still be heard in her ears.
"Looks like I'm really going to leave this time......"
"What to do ......"
"I just discovered ......"
"I seem to love you more......
These were the last words he left her in this world.
She seemed to have slept for a long time, very deeply. Every time she woke up, her eyes were white, sometimes there would be a bright spotlight overhead, which was very dazzling, and sometimes it was dark in front of her eyes, but she could hear the sound of drops in her ears.
She often doesn't know what it is, she just feels tired, so tired that she just wants to sleep like this and never wake up.
Sometimes she can see a lot of people, one moment is a grandfather, another is a blurred face of parents, and another time it becomes a silly Xiaoxue, a fresh and bright deer, Zhang Xi, Yu Linling, Lu Bai...... Many, many people, like a movie, flashed in front of her eyes and disappeared quickly. More often than not, she couldn't call their names, but it felt strangely familiar.
However, it was not the one she wanted to see the most in her heart.
She woke up faintly, and her vision blurred for a while before she could see Li Chun, who was drowsy with her arms on her hands. Li Chun didn't sleep deeply, she moved slightly, and she immediately woke up vigilantly.
"Are you awake?" Li Chun didn't seem to be surprised, and routinely stepped forward to probe her forehead, and asked softly, "How do you feel?"
Luo Luo didn't speak, just looked at her intently.
Li Chun was stunned for a moment, and then reacted again, "What? You don't recognize me again? I'm Yu Linling! Do you remember? The one who wrote the novel, we met at the signing party, and later I gave your friend my autograph and a new book." ”
Book......
Luo Luo's eyes were quickly covered with a layer of moisture.
Li Chun looked at her carefully, "Why are you crying?
Luo Luo shook his head, and immediately tears fell down the corners of his eyes. She shook her head, her lips pale, "I don't know why...... My chest hurts...... "It hurts so much that she can't breathe."
It's like there are countless thin needles swimming in the body, and it hurts everywhere you go.
Her voice was very small, and Li Chun had to get very close to barely hear it clearly, "Chest pain? She whispered, "Wait a minute, I'll call you a doctor." ”
Li Chun said and ran out quickly, the door was open, and Luo Luo could even hear her panicked shouts in the corridor.
In front of her eyes was a dazzling white, Luo Luo suddenly felt a splitting headache, time flowed very slowly, every minute and every second was difficult, but this pain was spreading endlessly, she felt pain all over her body, the pain made her want to roll, want to scream, can't restrain herself.
It hurts......
I don't know when Li Chun will come back......
Why haven't you come back yet......
She twisted her body, her hands clutching the neckline of her coat, and she accidentally saw a few pearls on her wrists that shimmered with a seductive sheen, and even her scarred face was clearly reflected on them.
A lot of images squeezed into my mind in an instant, and the movie ...... Embrace...... Ferris wheel ...... Car accident...... Finally, the two looked at each other and smiled on campus in the morning.
With all the shyness of the first twenty years of her life, she asked him, "See if I'm different today?"
"Eyelash ......"
The boy in front of him was bathed in the early morning sun, looking so clean and white. However, that pure white and clean face instantly became bloody and blurred, with helplessness and reluctance on his face.
"Looks like I'm really going to leave this time......"
"What to do ......"
"I just discovered ......"
"I seem to love you more......
Endless sorrow is like a rising tide, breaking through the embankment and rushing in. Luoluo was drowned, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't break free from it.
She stared at the bracelet on her wrist, the red rope was like the blood on Ye Ningshi's face, one layer solidified, and a new layer was filled, she couldn't even see his appearance clearly, but she only remembered his tired eyes.
Li Chun finally came back with the doctor, and after some examination, he just said that there was no big problem, and took Li Chun to the corridor to say a few words before leaving in a hurry.
"Luoluo. When she returned, she looked carefully, and the face of the person on the hospital bed still had bruises, and her eyes were so empty that they seemed to have lost their souls, and she became more and more worried.
"How is he?" asked the soulless man in the hospital bed.
Li Chun knew who this "he" was referring to, his face darkened, and he gritted his teeth for a long time: "Dead." ”
His empty eyes widened suddenly, staring straight at the high ceiling above his head.
"Luo Luo, don't scare me!" Li Chun saw her half-dead appearance, and became even more anxious, and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, but since we survived, we still have to live a good life, right......?"
"Moreover, and it is said that the suspect is already being tracked down, and the police have also heard that they want to ask you to record a confession, and you have to help Ning Shi get justice, you have to cheer up!" she paused, looking at her cautiously, "Do you really want to see the murderer at large?"
seemed to have listened to Li Chun's words, Luo Luo's eyes were full of tears again, so full that her eyelashes trembled slightly, and tears fell down the corners of her eyes like balls.
Since waking up, Luo Luo's body has recovered quickly. Sure enough, within a few days, the police came to the door and asked many details about the day of the accident. Luo Luo answered one by one with her memory, she was calm and cooperative, trying not to let any details be missed.
"Then do you know Qin Hao?" Feng turned around, and the police officer who asked the question suddenly said this.
Luo Luo was stunned and nodded.
"What do you have to do with him? ”
She suddenly remembered what Qin Hao said to her when he was leaving that day, and she couldn't help but shudder.
"Is there any connection between the two?" she asked cautiously.
The police officer who handled the case smiled calmly, "That's right, the case is still under investigation, and now we just want to know more about the situation, if there is a result, we will notify you." ”
Luo Luo nodded, and said matter-of-factly: "He was my high school classmate and once pursued me, but I refused, and I didn't have much contact with it later, but some time ago, he came to me ......"
The investigation process was lengthy, during which the police came twice but did not disclose the progress of the case.
Li Chun quickly went through the discharge procedures for her, because she was not at ease, she simply took Luo Luo home to facilitate her care, and she was even more afraid that Luo Luo would not think of doing something stupid for a while.
She has been hesitating whether to follow the doctor's advice that day and contact professional psychological assistance counseling for Luoluo, but if she does, how to get Luoluo to cooperate with the treatment.
She also had a headache for a few days.
However, the expected miserable rain does not seem to have come, after being discharged from the hospital, Luo Luo is as industrious and quiet as ever, Li Chun's home is cleaned up and tidy, there will be sumptuous and delicious meals on the table for three meals a day, and there are even a few more pots of green plants and flowers in the house, which are fragrant all day and night.
Based on all this, Li Chun almost had the illusion that she needed to be taken care of, and she even began to suspect that Ning Shi's sudden departure did not seem to have any effect on Luo Luo.
A few days later, accompanied by Li Chun, Luo Luo went to the cemetery to visit Lu Bai. She brought flowers, looked at Lu Bai's still pure and immature face on the tombstone, and bowed deeply.
For Ning Shi, but also for herself. It was his and her selfishness that implicated the innocent Lu Bai and lost his life.
Before leaving, Li Chun, who had been silently following her, suddenly spoke, "Ning Shi left, aren't you really sad at all?"
In fact, what she wants to say more is that she hopes that Luo Luo is really cured, instead of swallowing it in her stomach and suffering it silently alone, and finally driving herself crazy.
Luo Luo was dressed in black clothes, solemn and solemn, standing still with his back to Li Chun. Just when Li Chun thought that she would not speak again, Luo Luo suddenly turned around and ran over, hugging Li Chun tightly.
"Thank you for always being with me. Luo Luo's voice was very calm, she let go of Li Chun, smiled slightly, her eyes were dark, but there seemed to be a little bright light, "Ning Shi just went back, and he didn't really die, I was too late to be happy, how could I be sad?"
Li Chun was stunned, looked at it carefully for a long time, but he really didn't see any flaws, so he completely put his mind at ease.
That afternoon, Li Chun, who had not opened the pit for a long time, finally had a new inspiration, a mafia boss who had been on the edge of life and death since he was a child, and a frustrated girl who was hurt and picked up home, as for the name of the heroine...... She glanced at Luo Luo, who was fiddling with flowers and plants on the balcony, and quickly tapped her fingers on the keyboard.
The new outline and opening chapter quickly caught the attention of the website, and given the success of the previous works, Li Chun was immediately called to the company to discuss the details.
"I have to go to the company, do you want to consider joining me?" asked Li Chun as he put on lipstick.
Luo Luo shook her head honestly, she preferred to stay at home than to go out.
After Li Chun left, Luo Luo looked at the mess of the house as if it had been ransacked, and began to clean it seriously.
She has a disease called "if she is idle, she will die", and being able to do something will not give her a chance to think crankily.
However, things will not be done forever, and when there is nothing more to do, she can only sit alone on the sofa.
The room was eerily quiet, and she sat still, unable to find any proof of her life, except for the occasional blinking of her eyes and the faint breathing.
For her, life has long lost its original meaning.
The mobile phone rang suddenly, and she didn't know how long it rang before she hurriedly came back to her senses. There was a string of unfamiliar numbers on the screen, and she was afraid that there was a new development in the case, so she quickly picked it up with an accelerated heartbeat.
"Hey, is that Miss Luo?"
Luo Luo followed the agreed place to the Blue Mountain Coffee Shop, and when he entered the door, someone immediately greeted him. The person who came was in his thirties, dressed as a gentleman, his eyes hidden behind the lenses were like torches, and when he saw Luo Luo coming, he politely stretched out his hand, "Hello, I am Mr. Lu's personal lawyer before his death, and my name is Shen Jie." ”
Luo Luo also stretched out his hand, "Hello." ”
The two sat down, Shen Jie briefly asked Luo Luo's taste, and then ordered two cups of coffee. After the coffee and dessert were ready, he opened his briefcase and took out several documents one after another.
"This is my lawyer's license and my personal business card. He said and handed Luo Luo a look at his lawyer's license, then immediately took it back, and instead put a gilded business card in front of Luo Luo, "If you have any questions, you can call me this number, 24 hours a day." ”
Luo Luo nodded confusedly and put it away.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jie took out another document, "This is Mr. Lu Bai's will and power of attorney before his death, and I am fully entrusted to handle relevant matters for him." ”
Will?
Luo Luo frowned unconsciously, took the document handed over by Shen Jie, and quickly skimmed through it. When she read a certain line, she blinked unconsciously and raised her eyes suddenly, "Lu Bai left me the inheritance?"
Shen Jie lifted his glasses, "Yes, Miss Luo." Immediately after that, he handed over the last pile of information, "These are the details of all the assets in Mr. Lu Bai's name, including 2 apartments and a villa in City B, and 2 wealth management funds." At present, in accordance with Mr. Lu Bai's instructions before his death, I have sold the vehicles, garage real estate and shares of a number of companies in his name, which will be included in the testamentary trust management and transferred to you. ”
He clicked on one of the documents, "This is the personal fund that Mr. Lu Bai purchased for your grandfather, Mr. Luo, before his death, which is mainly used for the elderly's future support, medical treatment and daily living expenses, of course, this also includes the nursing home fees that Mr. Luo needs to pay now." ”
Luo Luo's eyes moved, a little incredulous, "You mean that my grandfather's sanatorium is not free, in fact, it has always been Ning ...... Is Lu Bai paying for this?"
"Yes. Shen Jie replied affirmatively, "But Miss Luo can rest assured, this fund is enough to ensure that Mr. Luo will live in his ......old age," his words stopped abruptly, and then called uncertainly: "Miss Luo?"
I saw the girl in front of her hanging her head, her fingers pinching the spoon in the coffee cup unconsciously, and from Shen Jie's point of view, she could only see the girl's flickering eyelashes, trembling slightly, and the last tear fell into the coffee cup, making a ticking sound of falling water.
Shen Jie was silent, and finally took out a tissue and handed it to Luo Luo, "Miss Luo, the festival is good." ”
"I'm sorry. Luo Luo didn't pick up the tissue, just got up quickly, and left in a hurry before he had time to say more. When she went out, she ran and cried all the way, and in the end she couldn't even find her own direction.
Her face was already rippling with tears, her wind-dried skin felt tight, and the sun stabbed her eyes, but her heart hurt even more. It was as if a thousand knives were constantly poking her chest, and her heart was shrinking like this, and even breathing became extravagant.
Her world seemed to be dark all at once, dark and sunless, without sunlight, without air, without temperature, without hope.
She could only stand alone on the vast crowded street, looking at the crowd shuttling back and forth, looking at a pair of unfamiliar faces and strange eyes, and crying.
Ningshi, I'm sorry......
Ningshi, thank you.
Ningshi, Ningshi, Ningshi......
I don't know how long I cried, I don't know how long I walked, and I don't know what happened during this time. She only knew that when she came back to her senses, she was already standing under Ning Shi's apartment. She looked up at it for a long time, and soon new tears flowed out, and she thought about leaving this ghost place quickly, but finally she couldn't help but walk in.
It's as if a person has lost his soul, like a walking corpse.
Everything is still familiar, the corridor she and Ning Shi walked through together, the door they entered together, the sofa and bed they had lying down on, and the table where they had breakfast together...... Every nook and cranny of this place records the bits and pieces of their together, but now they all look like a flood of beasts, like sharp blades and wires, like swords piercing hearts and scorching fire, like biting ice and water that can drown at any moment.
Ning Shi left, but his traces are still there, he left a strong mark in her life and then left vigorously, but in the end, she was the only one who stayed in place and couldn't get out.
"You big badass. She looked at the empty room and scolded categorically, "You just did it on purpose!"
deliberately left her so many good memories, deliberately made such a will, deliberately tolerated and connived at her again and again, and deliberately said such things to her on the Ferris wheel...... And then deliberately died a tragic death in front of her.
She closed her eyes, as he wished, she would live in regret for the rest of her life, and she would never forget him again.
She couldn't help but think of the feeling when he hugged her and kissed her, as if he was still there, those warm body temperatures were still there, the refreshing and charming breath was still there, his voice was still there, his smile was still there, his kiss was still there...... Her heart began to ache again, and tears were pouring out, and she used all her strength, as if she wanted to drain all her tears.
What does it feel like to have your liver and intestines broken?
It's like the flesh and bones of the body have turned into scattered parts, every part is dripping blood, and every inch of skin is aching. Her eyes hurt, her throat hurts, her fingertips hurt, and all the cells all over her body seem to be clamouring pain, one after another, endlessly.
Her only outlet point can only be crying, the more she cries, the more fierce she becomes, the more fierce she cryes, and in the end she loses her strength all over her body, and she has to lie on the ground and retch, and in the end she doesn't know what mess she vomited.
Over and over again, crying and criing, the sun rises and sets.
"Do you like it?"
"Then never forget this moment. 」
Don't forget the bright lights and starry rivers that night, the happiness of stepping on the clouds, the bitter tenderness, the pious kisses, all at once, gentle as water.
What does a saying come about?
Oh yes.
Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick, long-term lovesickness, long-term memory, and short-term lovesickness are infinite.
I knew that it was so stumbling, how could it be like the beginning...... Don't know each other!
