Chapter 23: Returning Home
I leaned against the wall and barely stood up, but I hissed in pain and almost collapsed to the ground.
Big Daddy beckoned and called a little nurse to take me to bandage it.
I shook my head and refused, and told Gu Lin that I didn't need to go to see Xie Ran, it was nothing, and I was about to be discharged from the hospital.
Gu Lin shook her head, looked at me, and said with a smile: "I'm going to see her, I've seen her, I haven't really spoken face-to-face, I want to see what kind of woman has changed you." Makes you fall in love with her. ”
I was stunned, my face was pale, and I obviously heard the bitterness in Gu Lin's words. My heart is also bitter.
Love?
I really want to say to Gu Lin, that's not love! It's really not love! It's responsibility! I don't want to be the one who disappoints my mother and makes others despair.
But I couldn't say it, I could only look at Gu Lin in a daze.
She stepped back about a metre.
It was like a crack in my heart.
There is a distance between people, one meter two, this is a safe distance.
Because people subconsciously protect themselves, whether it is an ordinary relationship, a lover, or a relative, once they take the initiative to retreat to that safe distance, they are afraid of being hurt.
I tried to raise my hand, but I forced it down.
Some people say that the farthest distance between two people is to stand in front of them, but they can't say I love you.
It used to be like this.
I like Gu Lin, I love her, I don't dare to say it, I'm afraid, because I'm afraid that if I say it, everything will disappear.
And now, I know that Gu Lin also loves me.
But I can't say!
Because I can't be selfish, I can't do it a second time, leaving behind all the people who care for me, who love me, who can't live unless I have to.
In my heart, I keep repeating three words, and that is sorry.
I love you, but I'm sorry......
Gu Lin turned around in embarrassment, and she whispered: "You go to bandage, I'll go see Xie Ran, I know where she is, don't worry, we'll be fine." ”
Her back stumbled out of sight, I had cramps in my abdomen and couldn't stand up, and the nurse helped me to get better.
Big Daddy said to me coldly, "Stupid." ”
I smiled, pulled my neck, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm just not selfish anymore." ”
Big Daddy said sarcastically: "You are not selfish, you are a saint? You will regret it, look at it, you think Xie Ran is a good woman, and she is not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”
I turned my head suddenly, gasped for breath and said, "You haven't touched her, don't judge her like that!" She was still telling me just now that she should be ready to see you when she is discharged from the hospital, saying that she can see that you have an opinion about her. ”
The eldest father sighed and said very flatly: "If she is really as gentle and indisputable as you say, then how can she secretly chat with Gu Lin? You know, what did they say? Why did Gu Lin go to see her now?"
I froze.
Daddy took a deep look at me and said, "I bet with you that you will regret it, I haven't missed anyone in my life, if you lose, I recognize Xie Ran as the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, if you lose, then kneel in front of your father's grave, kowtow, and admit your mistakes." ”
My heart was in turmoil, and Daddy turned around and went back to the ward.
The nurse cautiously asked me, should I go to the bandage now?
I nodded and didn't speak.
When I was bandaging, the attending doctor looked at me very strangely and asked me why I ran back and forth between the two wards, and I was beaten like this, I smiled bitterly and was speechless.
The face is just red and swollen, and the swelling quickly disappeared after rubbing the medicine, and the place on the body that was kicked by the big daddy is not serious, and the pain is good, and there is no internal injury.
I walked out of the surgical office and went back to Xie Ran's ward.
When I arrived, I saw Xie Ran laughing with my mother in the ward.
After I walked in, my mother glared at me, pointed at my nose, and scolded me angrily, how could I let other women be angry with her daughter-in-law.
Xie Ran's eyes were full of apologies, pulling my mother and saying that it wasn't like that, but they chatted for a few days.
I sat next to the hospital bed, looked at Xie Ran, hesitated, and said, "You tell Gu Lin that you are here?"
Xie Ran pursed her lips, and she said aggrievedly: "Yes." I thought you weren't coming back and were going to be with her, so I chatted with her and wanted to tell her what you like, our mother's habits, and she took good care of you and our mother. ”
My heart fluttered.
Xie Ran lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't mean anything else." ”
I whispered, "It's okay, Gu Lin came just now, did she say anything?"
Xie Ran raised his head and whispered, Gu Lin didn't say anything, she just wished us happiness, and said that she was a little related to your family.
My mother's eyes widened and she said, "We don't have such a vixen relative in our family!"
I smiled wryly, explaining to my mom to no avail.
Xie Ran took my hand, very aggrieved, and said with self-reproach: "I'm sorry Zhou Ran, I really don't mean anything else." ”
I also believed that Xie Ran touched her head, and whispered: "It's okay, you can talk about it, by the way, I'll take you home when you are discharged from the hospital in a few days." ”
Xie Ran was stunned for a moment and said, "Go home?"
I nodded and said, "My mother and I are staying in the hospital these days, and in a few days, we will go back to my hometown, where I grew up." ”
Xie Ran had a very good smile on his face and said, "Really!"
I nodded, exhaled, and seriously.
Xie Ran smiled extremely happily, but suddenly looked at my face distressedly, and said, "Gu Lin said that you had a conflict with your big father and were beaten by him, how could he bully the small, your face was broken." ”
I shook my head and whispered softly that I was fine.
At this time, it was already late outside, so I asked Xie Ran to rest, and I went to buy food and came back.
Gu Lin's side, I'm not worried, Big Daddy will take care of them.
After buying the food, Xie Ran was injured and also fed my mother, and their harmonious appearance made me feel a lot more at peace.
About a week passed like this, during which I met with my father a few times, and I also went to see Gu Lin's mother, who was almost healed from her injuries and was in the hospital, that is, waiting for me and Xie Ran.
Gu Lin didn't go home, after all, Liu's family was powerful, and after suffering such a dumb loss, he would definitely not give up.
As for studying, you can only change schools later.
She didn't seem to care about that, either.
When Xie Ran was discharged from the hospital, I asked my father to take Gu Lin and them away.
I was alone with Xie Ran, and my mother took a car and went home by herself.
Daddy gave me the keys to the house, just told me to go home and settle in, and contact him immediately.
He has a lot to tell me.
But I felt that my father was entrusting him with the aftermath, and I kept asking him what he was going to do.
But he never spoke again. The attitude towards me is as cold as ever.
Separated and returned to my hometown, not far away, more than three hours by car.
When I arrived at the gate of the community and looked at the plaque of the family home of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, I couldn't express the feeling in my heart.
I think that if you look at it this way, our family is actually not qualified to live here.
Back inside the house, the house has maintained the same scene as it was back then, and nothing has changed.
Xie Ran was very novel, he went to see every room and took the initiative to clean it.
My mother sat on the sofa in a daze and stopped talking.
I told Xie Ran not to be so happy, it was easy to let the wound go wrong.
She kept grinning and saying she was fine.
I also started to clean up the house, and it was not until the evening that it was completely cleaned.
Xie Ran made a table of food, very strange, my mother took the initiative to sit in the previous position, Xie Ran sat next to her, and I sat in my father's place.
Xie Ran fed my mother, but my mother took care of herself and used chopsticks by herself.
Her appearance made me feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, Xie Ran shook his head lightly at me, and whispered that it was nothing.
After eating, my mother also went to the room to rest in silence.
Xie Ran and I were lying in my bedroom before, a small bed of 1.5 meters, and the window next to it, the moonlight poured in.
Xie Ran kissed my neck lightly, and I told her not to think about it, she was still full of injuries.
Xie Ran did not relent, saying that she was okay and was discharged from the hospital.
Is it because she has a scar on her body, so I don't even want to touch her?
As she spoke, her hand gently slipped into my clothes.
I was breathing a little hard, and her legs were on my waist......
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, before I woke up, I received a call from my father, who gave me an address and told me to come over immediately.
