Chapter 173: Sanatorium
Zhang Xingchen sent a text message to Lu Xiaochao, saying, "If God gives me a chance to start over, I hope to meet you before you encounter suffering." ”
Lu Xiaochao said that Zhang Xingchen always said that his linguistics was unsatisfactory, and Lu Xiaochao said that she just couldn't understand why Zhang Xingchen could always say things so well.
But in my opinion, even if Zhang Xingchen is clever and witty, and says the words of the world in the way that Lu Xiaochao likes the most, even so, it can't change the fate of him and Lu Xiaochao, and it can't help them get out of the quagmire of death.
I glanced at Lu Xiaochao sitting in the co-pilot, about half an hour ago, when I met her on the street, her love was extremely low, standing alone under the pedestrian traffic light at the intersection in a daze, there was light snow in the sky, I don't know how long she had been standing on the street, the snowflakes fell all over her red scarf, she lowered her head, and half of her face was almost hidden in the scarf.
I pulled over the intersection, got out of the car, and walked straight for her.
"Lu Xiaochao!" I walked through the crowd to her, the sidewalk light turned green, and she was carried out into the road by the crowd, staggering.
The crowd gradually dispersed, seeing that the red light was about to turn on, and the endless flow of traffic was surging again, I rushed towards her regardless of a qiē, "Lu Xiaochao-"
A few sharp brakes sounded, followed by the noise of the horn, Lu Xiaochao was held in my arms, a red sports car was close at hand, and the young man driving the car scolded and scolded, resounding throughout the entire street that was not noisy.
"You don't want to die?" I hugged Lu Xiaochao, my heart was full of shock, the fragility of life seemed to be so frightening at this moment, almost, she and I were people of two worlds.
"You are." Lu Xiaochao said lightly, and then broke away from me.
At this moment, she leaned her head against the car window, and she didn't know if she was asleep, so she didn't speak.
"Did you sleep?"
"Hmm." She answered, making it clear that she didn't want to talk to me.
"It's cold in the window, if you want to sleep, put down the chair and sleep comfortably, it will take a while to arrive, don't freeze." The heating was turned on in the car, but I always felt that Lu Xiaochao seemed to be trembling.
I reached out and took a blanket from the back seat of the car to cover her, but she didn't move, still leaning against the window, not speaking.
The car kept driving towards City A.
Everything Lu Xiaochao has to do, and Zhang Xingchen is always inextricably linked, I think this time is no exception, since her grandmother was discharged from the hospital, her cousin took her grandmother back to City A, I heard Xiao Sa say. Long Xinghai originally wanted Lu Xiaochao to go back to City A with them, but Lu Xiaochao refused, and I think the reason could only be Zhang Xingchen.
Lu Xiaochao fell asleep after that, and the original tense trembling seemed to be gone, and her even breathing could still be heard.
After arriving at the destination. I woke her up, "Lu Xiaochao, it's here." ”
She gradually woke up, glanced at me a little crampedly, and then said in a flat tone, "Thank you for sending me here, you drive carefully on the way back." ”
"I'll wait for you to go back with you." As I spoke, I opened the door and got out of the car with an indifferent expression.
Lu Xiaochao also got out of the car, but she stood still, stared at me and said, "I'll take a ride back by myself." Don't wait for me. ”
"What are you doing here?" I looked around, it was a sanatorium, and the location was also remote, and it was especially desolate against the backdrop of this cold winter.
Lu Xiaochao's grandmother now lives in Long Xinghai's house, and Lu Xiaochao has come to the sanatorium quietly more than once, which is really weird.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Lu Xiaochao, "As far as I know." You've been back to City A more than once, all to get here? Who are you looking for? ”
"It's none of your business." Lu Xiaochao's tone was full of powerlessness and exhaustion.
I exhaled heavily. Then he walked up to Lu Xiaochao and grabbed her wrist, "Lu Xiaochao, I really don't understand you, whether it's sincere treatment or coercion and temptation, why don't you pay attention to it?" ”
"You can't expect me to throw someone into hell who once threw me. Rely on it, right? Lu Xiaochao smiled miserably, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "I don't have the strength to be friends with you now, really, you let go." ”
"yes, I see you like this now. I really should be happy, I just threw you into hell to destroy you......" I stared at Lu Xiaochao, and my heart throbbed, "Forget it...... At the beginning, you gave up the opportunity to testify against Ruqin because of me, so you should return your favor. ”
"I said ,......"
Lu Xiaochao still wanted to refuse, but I couldn't help but say something, and pulled her towards the sanatorium.
As soon as I walked into the door of the nursing home, the staff inside greeted me with a look of embarrassment.
Lu Xiaochao looked tired, and greeted the staff member with a quiet smile: "Hello, I'm coming to see him." ”
"Miss Lu, we are really embarrassed by you like this, his family has already emphasized to us several times, saying that they will not let you see him, you better go back?" The staff politely rejected Lu Xiaochao.
"Please, it won't be delayed for long." Lu Xiaochao pleaded.
I was confused.
"No, no, no!" The staff refused.
"I promise to leave before his family comes, do you think it's okay?" Lu Xiaochao begged.
"What's wrong?" Another man in a white coat also walked over, and when he saw Lu Xiaochao, he smiled: "Isn't this Lu Xiaochao, why did you get here?" ”
"Doctor Ye, why are you here?" Lu Xiaochao asked with a look of surprise.
"Oh, I sent a patient here to recuperate a while ago, and I've been here for free clinics for the past two days, what about you? How did you come here? That Doctor Ye had a kind smile on his face, and he seemed to be an old acquaintance with Lu Xiaochao.
"I'm here to visit someone."
The original staff member immediately asked Dr. Ye, "Dr. Ye, is this yours?" ……”
"Oh, Lu Xiaochao and I are old acquaintances, it's okay, you go get busy." Dr. Ye said with a smile.
"This ......" The staff hesitated for a moment, and then confessed to Lu Xiaochao, saying that she should not go to that person again. After that, I left.
"This is ......," Doctor Ye asked Lu Xiaochao, pointing at me.
"Friends." Lu Xiaochao replied simply.
I simply said hello to him, and after that, Dr. Ye asked Lu Xiaochao, "Xiaochao, how is your mother's matter?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Xiaochao subconsciously glanced at me.
I was a little baffled by her, but she didn't say anything. I saw Lu Xiaochao shaking his head, and then said, "Doctor Ye, do you know Doctor Liao?" You once referred me to him for a consultation. ”
Doctor Ye nodded and asked Lu Xiaochao puzzledly, "Why did you suddenly ask about him?" ”
"I want to ask you, do you know about her daughter Chu Mingmin?"
Doctor Ye thought for a moment, and then said to Lu Xiaochao, "Do you know Xiao Min? She passed away years ago, why did you suddenly ask about her? ”
"Now Dr. Liao is suing Chu Mingmin's boyfriend before his death, you know. It's Zhang Xingchen. When Lu Xiaochao spoke, his eyes were fixed on that Doctor Ye.
When he heard the name Zhang Xingchen, Doctor Ye's eyes flickered a little, as if he intended to avoid Lu Xiaochao's gaze, but these were only for a moment, and then he calmly said to Lu Xiaochao: "I don't know much about their affairs, and they may not be able to help you much." ”
Lu Xiaochao shook his head in disappointment, and then said thank you.
"Then I'll get busy first. If you need anything, you can always come to me. "This Doctor Ye is almost a deserted escape. I don't know what he's lacking in heart.
Lu Xiaochao chased after him, "Doctor Ye, Doctor Ye." ”
It's just that Doctor Ye walked away without looking back, ignoring Lu Xiaochao, who had been chasing and shouting behind him.
I caught up with Lu Xiaochao, she turned her head to look, then lowered her eyelids and thought for a moment before saying, "Since you are here." I just have something to ask you. ”
"You say, I must know everything." I said with a light smile.
"When we went out camping together, you deliberately took me and Zhang Xingchen out, and then his mother had an accident, and you sued me. Does this have anything to do with you? ”
I looked at Lu Xiaochao, her eyes were clear, and there was still some expectation in her eyes.
I secretly thought to myself, in Lu Xiaochao's heart, does she want Zhang Xingchen's mother to be injured This matter is related to me, and this expectation in her eyes is a call for the devil to turn back?
"It's about me." I said bluntly.
That expectation really disappeared from Lu Xiaochao's eyes, and her eyes staring at me became disgusted, even hateful.
I smiled forcefully: "What I have done, I will not regret." ”
"Please stay away from me in the future, and don't let me see you again." Lu Xiaochao's words are sonorous, and he really hates me.
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
I followed, completely oblivious to the cold aura emanating from her body.
"It's just that someone revealed the news of Chu Mingmin to me, and I took the opportunity to tell Chu Mingmin's family." I caught up with her and said.
Lu Xiaochao stopped, and looked at me and didn't become more friendly, but she fell into deep thought again, and at the end, she asked me again: "Who gave you the news?" Lu Xi? ”
Lu Xi?
I pulled my lips and smiled: "Don't think I don't know that you persuaded Lu Xi to hide Zhang Xingchen's case record from me at the police station, I know it, but I didn't debunk you." ”
"Then who else knows that you're investigating Zhang Xingchen?" Lu Xiaochao asked with a stern expression.
I spread my hands: "The whole world knows that I am at odds with Zhang Xingchen for the sake of Lu Xiaochao, but anyone who has a holiday with Zhang Xingchen may be the one who provided me with information!" ”
"Do you think these things are interesting and fun? Do you find it enjoyable to take advantage of other people's pain? Or is life worthless in your opinion, you almost make two people lose the right to continue to live with a single action, do you think, this is very enjoyable, right? Lu Xiaochao looked at me coldly, her tone was full of contempt and sarcasm, and in the end, she almost cried and yelled at me, and there was despair in her voice. (To be continued......)
