Chapter 33: Night
Later, there were still onlookers who called the police, and the police rushed over, Chen Yidong did not continue to greet Wu Chuan with his fist, and after arriving at the police station, he didn't know how Wu Chuan and his brother negotiated with Chen Yidong, and finally they all unanimously decided not to tell Chen Yidong, and the four of them recorded the records respectively, and the police let them leave.
When she was about to go out, Qing Huan went to get her bag, and heard the policeman muttering while handing it to her, "Why do you put a few bottles of beer in your bag?"
Chen Yidong stood next to her, his eyebrows raised involuntarily.
Coming out of the police station, Qing Huan and Chen Yidong stood on the side of the street a little bit speechlessly, the cool breeze was blowing, with the humidity after the rain, but it was not cold on the face, on the contrary, it was still a little comfortable.
I don't know how long she stood on the side of the road, Chen Yidong glanced at the bag in her hand, and finally broke the silence, "It seems that you are still prepared, huh? Or do you think that with just a few bottles of beer, you can bring down a man who is so different in strength from you?"
Qing Huan was a little embarrassed, and said curtly: "I was stunned at the time, I didn't think about it so much." ”
Chen Yidong frowned and looked at her, "Are you usually so impulsive?
Qing Huan was stunned for a moment, and then slowly turned his head and said, "Actually, I don't usually be so impulsive, but today everything happened to collide together, so I was so irrational." ”
Chen Yidong was silent, lowered his head and lit a cigarette, his eyes looked at the empty street in front of him, waiting for her to continue.
"This morning, Miss Ning asked me to go to the office and asked me to put down the original project in my hand and take charge of another project, saying that I want to cultivate me, but I'm not a fool, if the person who connects that project is not you, it's not that they think I have a personal relationship with you, why should they come to cultivate me?" Qing Huan felt that his emotions seemed to surge again," I don't care if she does whatever she wants, but she has to drag me into the water, why didn't I see that she was such a person before......?
"And then?" Chen Yidong slowly exhaled a puff of green smoke and glanced at her and asked.
"Then I was put on indefinite leave...... I guess I'll find a reason to fire me in a few days. Qing Huan replied as if a little lonely.
"Didn't you think about taking that project and then coming to me?" Chen Yidong's jaw tensed slightly, and he suddenly asked.
"Huh?" Qing Huan turned to look at him suspiciously, and asked puzzledly, "Do you want me to take that project and come to you?"
"Your boss is right, you come to me with the project, we will dock, and as soon as the project is completed, you will have a little fame and accumulation in the industry, which will be very beneficial to you in the future. Chen Yidong smiled and said with some inexplicable meaning.
Qing Huan was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "To say that there is no excitement at all, it is a lie, but I don't want to do this, especially because the project is connected by you, I don't want to do it even more." ”
"Oh, really?" Chen Yidong glanced at her lightly, the corners of his lips hooked, "I guess you should say it next, because you are my friend, so you don't want to do this, right?"
Qing Huan was dumbfounded, glanced at him with a complicated expression, and then lifted the bag in his hand, pretending to speak easily: "Yes, so friend, do you want to find a place to solve all these beers with me?"
Chen Yidong glanced at her and ignored her.
Qing Huan didn't care about him, and when he saw an empty car coming in front of him, he immediately beckoned, and then pushed him to the back seat of the car without saying anything, and then quickly reported the address to the driver, and the car left slowly.
"This is the good place you said?" Chen Yidong looked at the pitch-black river in front of him and asked her a little speechlessly.
"Don't you think it's nice here? It's clean, and the view is good, and you don't necessarily find a spot during the day. Qing Huan grinned and sat down on an iron chair by the river, pulled out a can of beer and handed it to him.
Chen Yidong: "......"
"I was just bored, and I thought I could find an open place to stay, maybe then I could feel better. Qing Huan took a sip of beer and said to himself, "Actually, it's true that you said that I was impulsive today, I was impulsive, and I didn't think about so many consequences, because as long as I thought of someone like Wu Chuan, if he couldn't receive any punishment, then he would be lucky and harm other girls." When I think about it, I feel like I can't tolerate it anymore. ”
"But even if you do that, it won't have any real impact on him, and if your roommate doesn't choose to call the police, he won't get the sanctions he deserves. ”
"I know, that's why I'm so angry, so emotional. Qing Huan said a little lonely.
"You can persuade her and teach her how to really protect herself. Chen Yidong walked up to her and sat down, and also opened the beer and took a sip.
"That being said, but she is the victim, and the real hurt is inflicted on her, and that kind of pain is not felt by us bystanders, so when we all teach her what to do with a righteous face and righteous words, we will not know what she really feels, so I think we should respect her choice, after all, not everyone has the courage to tear open their wounds and expose them to the sun. ”
Chen Yidong didn't speak, just lowered his head and drank beer silently.
The wind by the river is still colder than that in the city, but Qing Huan stood up against the wind and raised her head, as if she wanted this gust of cold wind to blow her mind more sober, her long hair fluttered messily in the wind, she turned her head, looked at Chen Yidong, and said softly: " Actually, I understand a little now, the reason why people have so many troubles and so many helpless things, in the final analysis, is because they are not strong enough, if I am strong enough, Miss Ning will not dare to treat me like that, if I am strong enough, I will not take such a stupid method against a scumbag like Wu Chuan......"
"Do you really think that when you are strong, you can do anything?" Chen Yidong slowly raised his head, looked at her at eye level, and his voice was low and cold.
"You can't talk about anything," Qing Huan narrowed his eyes and laughed, "At least there can be more choices, right? ”
Chen Yidong stood up, took off his coat, draped it on her, pulled them together, and chuckled, "If you want to be strong so much, you shouldn't refuse your boss, right?"
"That's different. Qing Huan looked at him, the silhouette of the backlight under the street lamp was weak and resolute, "What I want is really strong, not just the formality, I don't steal, I don't rob, I don't sell myself, but I will eventually reach the high peak." ”
Chen Yidong crossed his hands in his pockets and looked at her fixedly, his eyes intertwined with long eyelash shadows and light orange waves to form a strange light and shadow, ethereal and complex and boundless, just like the river surface at night at this moment, so strange and breathtaking, that Qing Huan has always remembered his eyes this night many years later.
"It's late, I'll send you back. After a long while, Chen Yidong spoke softly.
Qing Huan came back to his senses and nodded.
Chen Yidong sent her to the community, watched her walk into the lobby of the building where she lived, but did not leave immediately, but stood in place, took out the cigarette case in her pocket, lowered her head and lit one, slowly exhaled a puff of cigarette, and then looked up at the building where she lived, with a fluctuating look on her face.
Early the next morning, Qinghuan went for a morning run as usual, brought soy milk and fritters when he went back, and when he got home, he filled the fritters on a plate, and the soy milk was also poured into the glass, and then came to Chen Xi's door with breakfast, and knocked on the door gently, "Xiaoxi, are you awake?"
It didn't take long for a muffled voice from inside: "Hmm." ”
Qing Huan pushed the door in, then put the breakfast on her cabinet, and said softly, "Eat something, you went to bed so early yesterday, you should be hungry, right?"
Chen Xi was silent for a moment, then slowly sat up and whispered, "Thank you." ”
"Are you eating in your room or going out?"
"Let's eat outside, I want to take a shower first. Chen Xi lowered his eyes and said.
Qing Huan nodded, and brought breakfast to the dining table in the dining room.
There was a sound of rushing water from the bathroom, and it was about an hour before Chen Xi opened the door and walked out of it, wiping his wet hair and walking to the table and sitting down, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was obviously crying inside.
Qing Huan sighed in her heart, and while watching her bite the fritters and drink soy milk, she said cautiously: "Xiaoxi, do you want me to accompany you to the hospital later?"
Chen Xi paused as he ate, was silent for a while, and then nodded lightly.
Qing Huan breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that this stupid girl wouldn't be able to figure it out, and she didn't even want to go to the hospital.
went to the hospital to register, and then Qing Huan accompanied Chen Xi to the diagnosis and treatment room, and after seeing her enter, he slowly walked to the waiting area, and when he was looking down at his mobile phone, he suddenly heard a hesitant voice ringing, "Qing Huan ......"
She heard the sound and looked over, but saw that not far from her, Song Hai was standing there.
"Are you unwell?" he asked in a low voice, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"No, I accompanied my friend to check his body. Qing Huan looked indifferent and glanced at him, "What are you doing here?"
"I, I'll accompany her to check ......" Song Hai lowered his head and whispered.
Qing Huan suddenly felt a little funny, she didn't know that a person's change could be so fast, so big, in the past, when he was not feeling well and came to check his body, Song Hai would never come here, he actually had a kind of machismo in his bones, he didn't even want to stand at the door in this kind of place, and now he would actually wait in the waiting area.
"I heard that you have a problem in Deju, is it serious? Is there a place where I can help?" After a while, Song Hai spoke slowly.
"No need, I'll solve it myself, don't worry about it. Qing Huan replied very calmly.
