Chapter 108: Reunion
Maybe it was because she was about to graduate recently, or maybe it was because she saw Gou Rixin again, Qiao Ming's emotions suddenly exploded, she sat on the sofa and cried for a while, and her mood was finally much more relaxed.
The lights in the whole room were bright, and Qiao Ming walked to Qiao Qishan's room, looked at the clean and tidy bed, and was stunned for a while.
After a whole night of tossing and turning, my mind was chaotic, thinking about my life and ideals, and finally remembering an eighty-year-old lady who had recently been admitted to the emergency department. He was sick and didn't heal, and he raised a son who was a loser. In his thirties, he didn't work or go out, and he lived on the old lady's pension.
There is no worst, only worse. No matter how bad she is, she will never be a wreck in the eyes of others.
Finally, I thought of Feng Mosheng, who was scratched and hospitalized, in the future, can he still be a doctor? What happened? That black tiger beast, is it Gou Rixin?
Thinking of the murderous appearance of the black tiger that day, Qiao Ming, who was half-asleep and half-dazed, suddenly sat up and looked at the depths of the darkness with a solemn face. It can't be that Gou Rixin has become a beast and lost his mind, right?
The clock on the wall pointed to three o'clock, and Qiao Ming wailed, and shrunk into a ball under the quilt.
······
"Get up in the morning, embrace the sun, let the body be full, bright sunshine, full of positive energy, every day upward..."
The bell rang for a while, and the sleeping Qiao Ming stretched out his hand to touch left and right, and finally picked up the mobile phone and turned off the alarm clock.
Five minutes later...
"Wake up in the morning and embrace the sun..."
Qiao Ming screamed, got up and rushed into the bathroom. After a hurried wash, she ran to the kitchen to open the refrigerator by luck, but it was empty, there was no electricity, and there was a musty smell.
His stomach growled, and Qiao Ming remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yesterday.
Forget it, she packed her things and prepared to go out.
When I walked to the gate, my feet suddenly retracted. She stepped across the living room and opened the door to the backyard. An orange cat shadow slammed up the wall and ran out, Qiao Ming frowned slightly.
The yard was empty, and the self-service feeders on the steps had become quiet. Qiao Ming glanced around, and slowly closed the door.
This orange cat comes every now and then, and he won't say thank you for eating so much of himself. Qiao Ming walked back to the living room with a lost face, and suddenly paused.
She turned, reopened the backyard door, and hurried towards the storeroom.
There were cats, but they didn't hear the dog barking next door.
The door of the warehouse creaked open, and Qiao Ming stepped in, scanning every corner of the room little by little. Suddenly, she picked up a broom against the wall and slowly lifted the lid of a footbath not far away.
The lid of the barrel fell to the ground with a clatter, and a pair of amber eyes could meet her.
Qiao Ming froze in place, looking at the scarred Gou Rixin in front of him, and was instantly at a loss.
"Long time no see. Gou Rixin spoke first. In addition to the embarrassment of being discovered, there is also some timidity that is afraid of the other party's anger.
"Okay... Long time no see..." Qiao Ming stammered.
Gou Rixin glanced at the broom in Qiao Ming's hand, and coughed slightly, "I'm sorry, I'll leave after a while..."
"What's wrong with you?" Qiao Ming suddenly stepped forward.
Gou Rixin shrank abruptly and retracted back into the bucket, "Don't come here, I'm fine!"
Qiao Ming suddenly stopped, clutching the broom handle tightly in his hand. Seeing Gou Rixin's resistance, her throat was sore, and she turned around and went out.
Waiting for Qiao Ming to disappear behind the door, Gou Rixin stood up. He lifted his paw and lay on the edge of the barrel, daring outward.
The wound on his body was pulled open in an instant, and Gou Rixin grinned in pain, and his hind legs couldn't exert any strength. He gasped for a moment and took a breath. Then the front paw rests on the edge of the barrel and lunges forward.
There was a bang in the warehouse, and Qiao Ming, who was sitting on the steps, covered his mouth tightly, trying not to make a sound. The wet red eyes were full of tears.
What she saw just now looked like a complete cat.
Gou Rixin suppressed the pain in his throat and gritted his teeth and crawled out of the fallen barrel. Standing in the doorway, hearing a slight whimper in the courtyard, he took a long breath and raised his paw to comb his stray hair and dust.
The door of the warehouse creaked open, and Qiao Ming hurriedly wiped away his tears and looked up at the sky.
Gou Rixin walked slowly to the self-feeder, drank some water, and ate a few mouthfuls of cat food. Then silently squatted beside Qiao Ming. If he could move a step, he would never stop here and let Qiao Ming find out.
But he was exhausted.
I walked here from school, and then spent most of the night crawling in, and before I had eaten a bite of food, it was already dawn. He was afraid that Qiao Ming would come to the yard early in the morning to check, so he hid in the warehouse and slept for a while. Unfortunately, it was still discovered.
It's better to do this, it's better to turn yourself into a dead body covered in injuries when the time comes.
"Aren't you going to work?" Gou Rixin coughed lightly and said.
"Why are you hiding there, doesn't it stink? It's the barrel where my dad rubs his feet. Qiao Ming's eyes were moist and hot, but there was a joke in his tone.
No wonder there is a strange smell... Gou Rixin was embarrassed and didn't speak.
"Was that you in the lab that day?" Qiao Ming asked again.
Gou Rixin felt suffocated in his heart, remembering the nervous look on his face when Qiao Ming rushed towards Feng Mosheng that day. His face tensed, and it took a long time before he let out a soft "um".
Qiao Ming turned his head and looked at the skinny black cat beside him.
The fur on her body was shaved and scattered, and the criss-crossed stitches were shocking, and the right eye that was facing her was also red and swollen. The tears in her eyes couldn't control the puff and fell down, her throat choked and hurt, and she couldn't say a word.
Gou Rixin noticed Qiao Ming's gaze and lowered his head slightly.
The man and the cat were silent, and they didn't say anything more.
The sunlight slowly moved from the eaves to the steps, the shade in the yard was gone, and the surroundings began to become muggy.
The wounds on Gou Rixin's body were painful and itchy, and there were many small mosquitoes and flies flying around. The stomach was cramping, and the limbs began to tremble when they couldn't support it. His brain also began to become groggy, he closed his eyes in a daze, and his body couldn't help but soften.
"Why are you so miserable?"
Gou Rixin stood still, his eyes instantly widened. After reacting to what Qiao Ming said, he was speechless for a while.
"Aren't you going to transform, you're as strong as a cow, how can you not even beat a person?"
"I thought... He's a good guy, he's still your senior. Gou Rixin said as he lay on the ground quietly. He couldn't hold it anymore, and it became more and more difficult for him to breathe.
"He's a good guy. Qiao Ming looked at Gou Rixin and sniffed, "It's just not good for you." ”
"Phew, he's the bad guy. You beware of being deceived. ”
Qiao Ming tugged at the corners of her mouth when she heard this, she stared at Gou Rixin's slightly closed eyes, biting her lip and not speaking anymore.
"Later, can you move me out?" asked Gou Rixin softly.
Qiao Ming's lips trembled, and he couldn't say a word.
"Is your grandma alright?"
"Hmm. ”
"Where's your grandmother?"
“···”
"Are you doing well?"
"Hmm. ”
"That Feng Mosheng, do you still like him?"
“···”
"If you look at him, you will be blind. ”
“···”
"I'm sorry for your parents, but don't throw me in the trash, okay?"
"Hmm. ”
"Don't bury me. ”
"Hmm. ”
"And where are you going to throw me?"
"Trash cans. ”
“···” This time it was Gou Rixin's turn to be silent, he struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally asked again, "Hate me so much?"
"Hmm. ”
Gou Rixin grinned, and blood-red tears began to flow from the corners of his closed eyes.
Qiao Ming covered his mouth tightly, and the tears stopped flowing. She stretched out a hand and trembled to the cat's head lying on the ground.
Gou Rixin's body stiffened and couldn't help but start coughing. The wounds on his body were pulled violently, and his internal organs were also stirred by knives, and he frowned in pain, and his whole body broke out in cold sweat.
Feeling the hand on the top of his head retract in an instant, Gou Rixin was suddenly lost.
I can't imagine what he looks like now.
After a long time, his breathing gradually weakened, the whimpering sound in his ears slowly disappeared, and the pain in his body began to numb.
This kind of slow death, he has experienced too many times, but not once, makes him feel so relieved as he is today.
······
Qiao Ming buried his head in his arm and cried heartbreakingly.
Everything around her seemed to fade away in an instant, turning into endless darkness, full of painful parting and death that made her heartbroken. She was trapped in it, struggling to get out.
Everyone kept leaving, as if she didn't care.
Could this be the end of her? In the end, she was left alone with guilt and walked alone.
······
A faint shadow looms beside the steps, the blurred outline looks less like a cat than a human?
