This is the first time Lu Xiu has heard Zhao Lingyan reveal his heart.

Maybe in the moonlight, it's easier for people to be willing to open up, right?

Lu Xiu actually knows some about the relationship between Zhao Lingyan's mother and daughter, the two get along very strangely, Zhao Lingyan will never call Zhao Qingya to be her mother, and when Zhao Lingyan was injured, Zhao Qingya did not take the initiative to take her to the hospital but entrusted Lu Xiu.

But the only thing they have in common is that the two actually care about each other.

For example, Zhao Lingyan was still worried about whether the project fell into the hands of others, although she didn't say anything, Lu Xiu could see this completely.

Lu Xiu thought to himself, maybe it was because Zhao Lingyan saw Zhao Qingya abandon her husband when she was a child, so the contradiction between the mother and daughter became deeper and deeper, and over time, she even forgot how to care about each other and how to get along, right?

Presumably Zhao Lingyan's father is a very kind person who loves her very much, right? If it weren't for that, how could Zhao Lingyan hate Zhao Qingya so much?

"Why did your mother abandon your father?"

"I don't know!"

Zhao Lingyan said bitterly: "I just don't know why, every time I ask Zhao Qingya, she won't say---- but my father is so good to us, he loves us so much..."

"Maybe your mother is in trouble?"

Lu Xiu sighed and said.

"I prefer to believe that she has any last resort, but what? Does she have it?" Zhao Lingyan shook his head, tears rolled in his eyes, and said in a painful tone: "The truth is that since she abandoned her father, her work has become smoother and smoother over the years, and she cares less about family affairs, less about me..."

"Others are saying behind their backs that she relies on men to take the position, abandons her original partner, the black widow in the business world, and is divorced from countless men, but she always remains single--- do you know how I feel when I hear these words?"

“----”

Lu Xiu really didn't know what to say.

After saying this in one breath, Zhao Lingyan seemed to calm down a little and felt a lot better, and she didn't continue to speak in place, but kept holding a wooden stick to pound the fire, and the flames were smashed by her.

At this moment, a "cooing" sound came from her stomach.

Zhao Lingyan's face turned red, thinking that fortunately, thanks to the cover of the firelight, Lu Xiu would not find out that she had almost not eaten for a day---- and had just experienced such a thrilling kidnapping, and now after returning to safety, the strength in her body was almost drained at once, and the whole person was extremely hungry.

Lu Xiu stood up from the ground with a smile: "You are waiting in place." ”

"Why are you going?"

At this time, Zhao Lingyan was a little sensitive.

"I'm not far away. ”

Lu Xiu naturally didn't dare to run too far, after all, once he went far, Zhao Lingyan's safety would be no guarantee.

…

After a while, Lu Xiu came back with one more thing in his hand.

"What's in your hand?"

Seeing that Lu Xiu was actually holding a strange thing in her hand, because it was too dark, she couldn't see it clearly when she didn't get closer, so she asked with some curiosity.

Lu Xiu replied, "Protein." ”

Just when Zhao Lingyan was wondering what kind of protein, Lu Xiu had already approached, and by the light of the fire, Zhao Lingyan finally saw clearly what Lu Xiu was holding in his hand.

It's a big red-bellied carp!

Lu Xiu was soaking wet, obviously just climbing up from the water.

This is the Xiangjiang River, Lu Xiu actually went into the water to catch fish just now!

"It happened to be very dirty in the water at the pier before, and I just went into the water to take a shower. ”

Zhao Lingyan's face was full of surprise.

It's so dark, how did Lu Xiu catch the fish?

Lu Xiu used a short dagger to cut open the fish's belly, dug out its internal organs, grabbed a wooden stick from the ground, sharpened it, inserted it from the fish's mouth, and put it on the fire to bake slowly.

Soon, the aroma of the fish came out of it.

Zhao Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this fragrance was too tempting, but there was only one fish in Lu Xiu's hand...

Just as she was thinking about whether she should snatch the fish from Lu Xiu's hand, Lu Xiu suddenly handed the fish over.

"You... Won't you eat it?"

"I'm not very hungry. ”

Lu Xiu said with a smile: "If I'm hungry, I can go down and catch it." ”

Zhao Ling swallowed a mouthful of saliva, quietly glanced at Lu Xiu, and took the fish from his hand.

I swallowed my saliva again, and I wanted to pretend to be a lady and reserved, but the grilled fish was so fragrant.

"Ahh

"It's delicious..."

Zhao Lingyan said while gobbling it up.

The carp meat is relatively old and thick, but after being grilled, the aroma is very strong, although it is only a simple baking, the conditions are limited and there is no seasoning, but because of this, the fish appears more authentic, and the aroma of the fish itself is brought to the extreme.

When he was hungry, he swallowed the hot white meat, wrapped in soft fish skin, and went down together, Zhao Lingyan's face was filled with a happy smile.

Looking at Zhao Lingyan's satisfied smile, Lu Xiu couldn't help laughing, and was just about to remind her to be careful of fish bones, but Zhao Lingyan began to cough violently, obviously she should have stuck a fish bone, but fortunately, after coughing for a while, she quickly took out a fish bone from her mouth with her hand.

The fish bones didn't teach her a lesson.

She was eating, Lu Xiu was counting, and Zhao Lingyan was stabbed four times in total...

In just a few minutes, most of the carp had entered her stomach.

Seeing that there was only a spiny fish tail left, Zhao Lingyan glanced at Lu Xiu with some embarrassment, licked the fish oil on his lips, and said weakly: "I can't put my mind to eat a lot, Lu Xiu, do you still eat it?"

Looking at the incomplete fishtail he ate, Zhao Lingyan wanted to dig a hole in the ground and get into it.

…

…

In the early morning of the next day, when Zhao Lingyan was awakened by the sunlight from his sleep, he found that there was no one beside him, only a black fire that had been extinguished.

Zhao Lingyan quickly stood up.

I looked around - sand piles, Xiangjiang River.

The river breeze was blowing, but there was no half of a person.

Waking up from a strange place at an unknown time, she feels abandoned by the whole world.

Zhao Lingyan's beautiful eyes were full of confusion.

After a long time, the empty eyes slowly regained their figure, and they remembered what happened yesterday----

She was kidnapped first!

Then he was rescued by Lu Xiu and slept in the wild!

At her feet were the fish bones she had eaten last night, proving that what she remembered had really happened.

What about Lu Xiu?

Unconsciously, there was an incomparable sense of dependence on Lu Xiu in her heart, and this feeling was not even noticed by herself.

"Lu Xiu!"

Zhao Lingyan shouted anxiously.

On the edge of the Xiangjiang River, Lu Xiu's figure slowly emerged, and it turned out that he had gone to the river to wash his face.

"I'm here. ”

Zhao Lingyan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back quickly. ”

After all the experiences of yesterday, now Zhao Lingyan just wants to go home quickly.

I didn't understand the word "heart like an arrow" before, but now Zhao Lingyan understands it extraordinarily, because he empathizes!

She misses Chen Yuning very much, misses her own sofa very much, and misses Zhao Qingya very much---- although she doesn't admit it in her heart.

…

…

The neighborhood is still exactly the same as before, nothing has changed.

There are two 40-year-old trees at the door, there is an artificial pond behind the big tree, and there is a security guard sitting on the bench next to the pond smoking a cigarette and humming a song.

The sound of the tree is gone.

A row of luxury cars parked on the side of the road, as if they had never driven by.

The familiar scene made Zhao Lingyan's mood gradually relaxed----- I don't know why, her heart was a little hanging, this is a lingering feeling, she has been there since she woke up in the morning, and it has never disappeared. It's a bad feeling, it's like a hunch, a sixth sense.

She chalked it up to post-kidnapping syndrome.

Maybe it's because what happened yesterday was so thrilling that the feeling of tension lingers all the time, right?

Five minutes later.

The two finally walked to the Zhao family's villa.

When I returned to the villa, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning.

The creepers in autumn have changed their colour a bit, and they are more charred than the summer green, making one wonder if they are dying, but in fact, these creepers are thriving and provide green sunhats for the villa all year round.

"Rain Lemon!"

"Crunch".

After pushing open the door of the villa, Zhao Lingyan thought in his heart for two seconds, and the first thing he blurted out was Chen Yuning's name.

It's just that her excited call was not answered as it should be.

"Lemon?"

She screamed again.

However, there was no answer, except for a slight echo from the large, empty hall of the villa.

Lu Xiu frowned and said, "There seems to be no one at home. ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Ling Yanleng said: "No, today is Saturday, it stands to reason that she shouldn't go to school, is she going home?"

"Perhaps. ”

Lu Xiu frowned, always feeling that something was not right.

Normally, Zhao Lingyan was tied up last night, and it is impossible for Zhao Qingya's character not to stay at home but go to work in the company, which is not logical.

Just when the two were puzzled, Liu Tao suddenly hurriedly ran in from outside.

"Young Master, Miss, you have returned safely! Great!"

As soon as Liu Tao entered the door and saw Zhao Lingyan and Lu Xiu, he was stunned at first, and then said in surprise.

But even so, both of them could see that his face was still mainly anxious and worried, and the surprise was just licking his head, and it quickly disappeared.

Not to mention Lu Xiu, even Zhao Lingyan sensed that something was not quite right.

"What's going on, Zhao Qingya?" Zhao Lingyan asked sensitively.

“----”

Liu Tao looked embarrassed: "Miss, boss, she..."

"What's wrong with her, tell me quickly!"

Zhao Lingyan almost grabbed Liu Tao's shoulder and asked, his tone was very excited.

If it weren't for the growing sense of foreboding, she wouldn't have been so excited.

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Tao sighed, and finally decided not to listen to Zhao Qingya's words and told the truth: "Her condition has worsened!"

"It's getting worse? What is it? Why don't I know anything about it?"

"Miss, I don't have time to explain, I have to go upstairs to get some CT, the hospital needs it. ”

Xiao Liu said, gently pushed Zhao Lingyan away, and then quickly went upstairs.

Not long after, he came out of Zhao Qingya's room, and there was already a stack of black CT films in his hand.

Zhao Lingyan quickly remembered that when Zhao Qingya came back once, she had such a piece in her hand, but when she asked her at the time, she said that it was a necessary physical examination for the unit, so Zhao Lingyan didn't think much about it.

Thinking about it now, it's really suspicious, Zhao Qingya, as the president of the company, why does she need a physical examination, if she doesn't want to, she can completely skip this step.

What diseases need to be observed by CT all year round?

Zhao Lingyan's heart had endless doubts.

"Xiao Liu, take me to the hospital!"

Liu Tao didn't hesitate for long, nodded directly and said, "Miss, young master, you get in the car with me---- Miss Chen is already in the hospital." ”

…

*********************************************************************************************************

This is the farthest drive that Zhao Lingyan feels.

When she arrived at the hospital's intensive care ward, she found Chen Yuning already standing at the door, her eyes slightly red.

"Sister Ling Yan, it's great that you're back! I thought I'd never see you again!"

After Chen Yuning saw Zhao Lingyan, she cried out with a wow, ran over and hugged Zhao Lingyan, couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore, and cried wildly.

After crying for a while, Chen Yuning glanced at Lu Xiu behind Zhao Lingyan, then turned to Zhao Lingyan again and said, "Sister Lingyan, you must not be too sad... Aunt Zhao, she... She seems to be dying..."

"What's wrong with her..."

Liu Tao patted Chen Yuning on the shoulder and said to her, "Miss Chen, hey, you should tell Miss, I'll go to Dr. Yao's office first." ”

With that, he sighed and left.

…

Lu Xiu had been standing quietly aside.

Chen Yuning was talking to Zhao Lingyan about Zhao Qingya's terminal illness.

It turned out that Zhao Qingya had a congenital spinal cord cancer, and it was not until after Zhao Lingyan was born that she accidentally discovered the existence of this terminal disease during a physical examination, and the doctor at that time told her that she could live to the age of thirty-five if she was conservatively estimated.

When she learned the news, she was depressed for a long time, quiet for a long time, and struggled in her heart for a long time.

In the end, I decided to hide it from my husband and the people around me.

Zhao Qingya knew that she didn't have much time left, and she felt ashamed of her husband who had just gotten married and had children. In order not to drag down her husband and let him find a good person again, Zhao Qingya decided to lie to him and say that she had an affair, but what she didn't expect was that her husband loved her very deeply, although it was painful, but in the end he was able to forgive her... In desperation, Zhao Qingya had to abandon him unilaterally, and under her tough attitude, the two finally divorced... This also has Zhao Lingyan's hatred for Zhao Qingya later...

Zhao Qingya began to set up a company, began to have regular check-ups, and as the days passed, she soon reached the limit of thirty-five, and to her surprise, because of the proper and active treatment of medication, there was no problem with her body.

But a terminal illness is a terminal illness after all, after passing the thirty-five-year-old mark, seven or eight years have passed, and she finally feels that her body is becoming more and more strained, until today, the day after Zhao Lingyan was kidnapped, because of excessive worry, it finally caused her condition to worsen... After being in a coma for half an hour, he was found by Liu Tao and sent to the hospital in time...

…

Zhao Lingyan's eyes turned red.

The facts that I didn't know for many years didn't come out of Zhao Qingya's mouth, but from Chen Yuning's mouth.

"Where is she, is she in there?"

"Hmm..."

Zhao Lingyan's eyes were red, and he opened the door and rushed in.

Lu Xiu and Chen Yuning stayed outside the door.

…

…

In the quiet ward, it was white.

Since it is an intensive care unit, there are no other patients in the room, only a special bed in the middle, and the furniture in the room should be complete, just like home.

Zhao Qingya was wearing a hospital gown, her beautiful eyes were closed, and she still had an oxygen mask on her face.

Aside from her paleness, it was almost impossible to tell that her illness was terminal.

Zhao Lingyan walked over slowly and nervously.

In the past, she had never felt that facing Zhao Qingya was a nervous thing, but now, this action has made her very nervous. She didn't dare to wake up Zhao Qingya, and she was afraid that even if she called, Zhao Qingya would not respond to her.

If that's the case, she'll break down.

She hasn't scolded her yet! She hasn't scolded her for being irresponsible and hiding the truth.

Thinking about it, Zhao Lingyan covered his mouth and cried quietly.

Quiet sobbing, not daring to make any sound.

She had already come to Zhao Qingya's bed and squatted down.

She found that Zhao Qingya's face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, bloodless, and she had changed from the scene of being white and red, more beautiful than her, like her sister and not like a mother at all... She may be really tired, and no one can talk to her, including her daughter, who has always hated her, so she wants to sleep for a while, Zhao Lingyan thought...

"---- Zhao... Elegant. ”

Zhao Lingyan plucked up his courage, but a simple word still turned into three words.

She felt that it was really terrible to get used to this kind of thing, so terrible that she still couldn't change her mouth in front of a sleeping terminally ill patient.

Zhao Qingya's fingers moved, she didn't have much strength anymore, but she seemed to hear Zhao Lingyan's voice, and her brows trembled slightly.

Zhao Lingyan propped up the hospital bed with both hands and held Zhao Qingya's hand with one hand.

The hand that hadn't been touched for years was a little cold at the moment.

In an instant, Zhao Lingyan's body trembled slightly.

She could feel the intimacy of the two hands touching.

But why didn't she hold it earlier?

Will there be many opportunities to be able to hold her in the future?

"Ling... Ling Yan?"

At this time, a faint voice came out of Zhao Qingya's mouth.

Zhao Lingyan felt her hand also be gently shaken.

Zhao Qingya's eyelids trembled slightly, and she slowly opened.

She's awake!
