Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Chance Encounter
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Haoyu, who was buried in Liu Liu's arms, closed his eyes in pain. He didn't want to think about all this pain.
"What happened later?" Liu Liu asked softly, careful not to provoke him.
Zheng Haoyu is too confident, he may really be a master swimmer, but it was in the pool. The water phase of Nanhu Lake is very complicated, and when he was desperately swimming to the opposite bank, he didn't know whether it was physical exhaustion or leg cramps, and the whirlpool at the bottom of the river swept up to him. Arrogance paid the price after all, he fluttered in the water for a while, and gradually his body sank, and he had no memory of what happened next.
When he woke up again, he looked up and saw the old and anxious face of his grandmother Song Huiping. Wanying was sobbing in the hospital room, her eyes already red and swollen.
"Grandma, I'm fine, don't worry!By the way, what about my brother, why isn't he here!" Zheng Haoyu first thought of his brother when he opened his eyes.
Song Huiping's face was pale, and the corners of her mouth trembled slightly. She held back her sadness and comforted Zheng Haoyu on the hospital bed in a soft voice, "Haoyu, your brother will definitely be fine." You should have a good rest first!"
Song Huiping's words aroused his suspicions, he looked at Xie Wanying in the distance in confusion, and asked anxiously: "Sister Wanying, what do grandma's words mean, what about my brother?
Xie Wanying didn't know how to answer at all, she looked at Zheng Haoyu, who knew nothing, and hid her face sadly and cried. Zheng Haoyu noticed the abnormality inside, he stumbled up from the bed, grabbed Xie Wanying's shoulder, and shouted: "Sister Wanying, don't cry, tell me, what's wrong with my brother?"
Song Huiping on the side was afraid that Zheng Haoyu would be too excited, and the body that had just been rescued would not be able to bear it. Her old tears and sad voice, "Haoyu, don't worry, your brother will be fine, grandma has already sent a lot of people to find it, don't be excited, okay?" Zheng Haoyu couldn't believe it was true, he shouted in the ward: "No, I'm going to find my brother, it's all my fault, I'm going to find him......"
Zheng Haoyu, who was too excited, was later sedated by the doctor, and he slept groggily in bed for several days. When he woke up again, he had to face the most difficult fact for him to accept - his brother Zheng Haonan was gone.
After Zheng Haoyu drowned that day, his brother Zheng Haonan jumped into the South Lake first. The undercurrent in the lake drained Zheng Haonan's energy, and when he finally dived into the water to find Zheng Haoyu, he was exhausted. With the help of everyone, everyone first rescued Zheng Haoyu, who had drowned earlier, but his brother Zheng Haonan, who was physically exhausted, was involved in the undercurrent and disappeared into the South Lake. Song Huiping, who got the news, organized a lot of search and rescue together with the public security and fire department. But the miracle did not appear after all, and three days later, in the downstream of Nanhu, everyone still found Zheng Haonan's body. His body was already swollen, but he still maintained the posture of lifting Zheng Haoyu. Poor Zheng Haonan was not yet thirty years old and passed away forever.
Zheng Haoyu, who is in remorse and self-blame, has always been unwilling to face the reality, and it was his strong willfulness that caused this accident. After seeing the body of her eldest grandson, Song Huiping couldn't stand the blow and fell ill all of a sudden. Wanying was overly sad and wanted to commit suicide several times. The family has become a mess, and in desperation, Zheng Haoyu can only accept the reality and take on the heavy responsibility of his brother before his death - managing the company and taking care of his family.
This sad story, Zheng Haoyu has always been reluctant to mention. People who used to be very fond of swimming have since stayed away from the pool. This is also the reason why the pool of Nanshan Villa is idle. The death of his brother made him mature. And his personality changed at that time. He became gloomy and tyrannical. After layers of disguise, he protects himself well, but his disguise also hurts others from time to time, and his true feelings are revealed from time to time, which is the real Zheng Haoyu.
Liu Liu stood there and didn't speak for a long time. This is an unusually sad story, and the male protagonist of the story, Jung Ho-woo, is also a sympathetic person. Zheng Haoyu hasn't had anyone to talk to for a long time, and he buried everything in his heart. His tears soaked Liu Liu's clothes, and the expression of his true feelings narrowed the distance between the hearts of the two people.
They stayed in the east room for a long time that day, and did not continue to talk, but just hugged silently. Later, they decided that they still wanted to tidy up and paint the room. They are very attentive, just like Haonan is still alive. Zheng Haoyu promised Liu Liu that he would come to Dongshan Pass to have a look when he had time in the future, and open the window for the East House to breathe, so that it could regain its former vitality.
In the afternoon, after handling everything and explaining everything, Liu Liu and Zheng Haoyu drove to Su City. The road in the mountains is full of birds and flowers, and the heart that is close to it because of the talk also has a strange feeling at this time. Liu Liu rolled down the window halfway and let the autumn breeze blow on her face.
Zheng Haoyu also felt much more relaxed, he looked at the girl beside him with pity, and really hoped that it could be eternal at this moment......
"I won't restrict your freedom anymore, and if you can handle those things well, I will give you the greatest trust. Zheng Haoyu, who was driving the car, looked at the road in front of him and said lightly.
Liu Liu didn't expect Zheng Haoyu to say this at all, she looked at him with wide eyes and surprise: "What you said is true?
Zheng Haoyu didn't speak, his eyes were fixed on the front, and his hands were on the steering wheel.
"Why don't you speak? This is so surprising!" Liu Liu couldn't believe that this was true, she was a little overwhelmed, and her surprise and gratitude were overflowing.
"Alright, don't be verbose. If you don't believe it, then I didn't say it!" Zheng Haoyu's face sank again, and Liu Liu pouted and rolled his eyes at him. She thought to herself: You can't change your tone, obviously your heart is not bad, but you have to speak so meanly! But no matter what Zheng Haoyu uses to push her at the moment, Liu Liu will not be angry, and her eyes are cut with a little more affection, "No matter what, I still want to thank you!"
Is this gratitude or the inexplicable throbbing in her heart? Liu Liu herself is confused, why does she feel that Zheng Haoyu is not so terrible when she looks at him now? His handsome and chic temperament actually makes him feel a little bit in a trance, has she begun to change slowly?
After returning to Nanshan Villa, Liu Liu called Xia Meng. She told her about Zheng Haoyu's change, and there was a hint of gratitude and love in her words. The friend immediately felt the change in her words, and she kindly reminded Liu Liu that this is an unreal and abnormal life, and she must take good control of her heart.
Xia Meng's words reminded Liu Liu, what happened to her just now? She really shouldn't change too much about Zheng Haoyu at once, her dirty relationship with him is the foundation of all relationships. She subconsciously avoided it and erased it, but it was the real truth. So she can't let her heart fall and can't have unrealistic illusions anymore.
Fang Fei called Liu Liu, and Liu Liu was also very calm. Now that she has made it clear that she has a boyfriend, then she should let Brother Fang Fei recognize the reality. So she made an appointment with Fang Fei and had time to get together with Xia Meng. She wanted to refuse Fang Fei's brother's kindness in a more tactful way in front of Xia Meng and Fang Fei. Although it was a little cruel, Liu Liu felt that this was good for everyone at the moment.
Fang Fei, who was sitting on the subway, was very disappointed after answering the phone. Liu Liu told him again the fact that he already had a boyfriend. But Fang Fei still had a trace of fantasy in his heart, he wanted to say his thoughts in person after meeting Liu Liu. The subway was moving rapidly, and he looked at the people in the carriage, and he was a little distracted for a while.
Inadvertently, his eyes caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure. It was a young man in his mid-twenties, with dyed red hair and studs on his ears. I saw him secretly standing behind a girl, with a pair of thief eyebrows. The subway was about to reach the next stop, and while everyone was about to get off the train, Fang Fei saw his hand reaching into the girl's bag, it turned out that he was a thief!
Fang Fei was shocked, it turned out that he had stolen the girl's wallet. "Catch the thief!" Fang Fei shouted, the girl turned around and touched her bag, and screamed in horror, "He stole my wallet!" At this time, the subway just arrived at the station, and the subway door opened suddenly. Seeing this, the thief was so frightened that he ran away, and Fang Fei followed him quickly. The passengers were in a mess, some yelling, some helping, and calling the police, and everyone worked together to catch him not far from the station entrance.
At this time, the girl who lost her wallet ran over out of breath, and Fang Fei searched the thief for the girl's wallet.
"Take a look, have you lost anything?" Fang Fei put the wallet in the girl's hand, and the girl quickly opened it to see that nothing had been lost.
At this time, the thief who was held down by everyone begged for mercy, and the police of 110 also arrived.
"Who is the owner?" the policeman asked.
"It's me!" the girl's face turned a little red, probably because of running.
"Then you and I should go back to the police station to make a record, who else are eyewitnesses, please come with us." ”
At this time, Fang Fei stood up and said to the police: "I am an eyewitness, I saw him stealing first." I'll go to the police station with you to make it clear. ”
The girl looked at Fang Fei on the side gratefully, and got into the police car with him. After recording the transcript in the police station and signing it, Fang Fei was ready to leave. After recording the record, the girl saw Fang Fei leave, and hurriedly chased him out of the police station.
"Hey, handsome guy, you wait for a while!" the girl ran in front of Fang Fei and immediately blocked Fang Fei's way. She is not tall, her round little face is very cute, the curly hair on her head is tied with a ball, and her big bright eyes are staring at Fang Fei without blinking, and she really looks like a doll.
"Is there anything else?" Fang Fei was puzzled, didn't it all be solved at the police station just now?
"Hello! My name is Xu Duoduo! Handsome guy, thank you just now, leave a phone call if it's convenient!" After speaking, Xu Duoduo generously stretched out his hand, and an extremely bright smile appeared on his face.
