49. Tempting

How that moment happened, Wu Jue himself didn't quite know.

She only knew that when she saw Lin Jiahe rushing towards the road, her whole mind was the scene from three years ago, Shen Tong stopped in the middle of the road, leaving her with one last smile, and then there was a piercing scream, and she couldn't tell whether it came from her or a passerby.

And at this moment, Wu Jue's only thought was - no, she could no longer watch another person disappear in front of her in this way.

He couldn't have an accident, she couldn't afford it.

Wu Jue's body's reaction was even a few seconds faster than his brain.

When Lin Jiahe rushed into the road, she also ran over, originally to grab him, but she could only grab the corner of his clothes. Her mind went blank as the loud sound of the truck hit her, staring at the tall, thin, back a few steps away in front of her — and then, with the screeching of the truck's brakes, she threw herself on top of him.

It's just that the truck, which is too fast, still hasn't braked completely after all. Shengsheng bumped into the two people who fell to the ground, but fortunately, Lin Jiahe reacted quickly, and when Wu Jue pounced on him, he was already in his heart, and instinctively hugged her, rolled forward a few points, and firmly protected her with his body.

The truck finally stopped, just a few centimeters from Lin Jiahe's body. Just one wheel was still crushed over his right foot.

The truck driver opened the car door, got out of the car scolding, looked at Lin Jiahe's crushed feet, and shouted with a stiff face while calling the police: "What are you doing? How to cross the street, don't use this method to find death! ”

Lin Jiahe ignored the scolding, and only looked at the person in his arms, Wu Jue's eyes were closed at this time, his face was pale, and he had obviously fainted. He was shocked, and quickly checked to make sure that there were no wounds on her body, and then he was a little relieved.

And at this moment, he felt afraid. At that moment, he was indeed impulsive out of despair, but for a moment, he really felt that there seemed to be nothing too worthy of nostalgia in his life.

But he never thought that Wu Jue would rush up and stop him to save him. In case of...... In case ......, he couldn't even think about it again.

The ambulance came quickly, and with the help of everyone, the truck was lifted up, and the paramedics saved Lin Jiahe's foot from under the wheel.

Maybe it was too painful, but he didn't feel much.

In the ambulance, he saw Wu Jue in a coma next to him, and subconsciously held the cold hand, and held it tightly like this, never letting go.

Of course, on the orders of the paramedics, when the ambulance arrived at the hospital, he still had to let go of her hand.

Except for a slight bruise, Wu Jue really didn't have any major problems. Coma is roughly due to excessive shock. And this night, I slept for more than ten hours. She woke up the next day when the doctor came to her bed for a follow-up. Seeing the whiteness of his eyes, he was suddenly shocked, sat up suddenly, grabbed the doctor in a panic and shouted: "Where is Lin Jiahe?" Is that the gentleman who just came with me? How is he? ”

The doctor hurriedly reassured her: "That gentleman is fine, but his foot is broken, and I am afraid it will take several months to fully recover." He's in the next room now, and you can go and see him. ”

Wu Jue hurriedly jumped out of bed, stumbled to the next ward, pushed open the door, and saw Lin Jiahe's foot exposed outside the quilt with a plaster cast. He seemed to be asleep unconsciously.

Wu Jue walked over quietly, standing at the head of the bed and staring at the person on the bed. His face was pale and haggard, and he was still the tall Lin Jiahe on weekdays. Yes, she has managed to make him fall from the top of the cloud into the dust.

However, at this moment, is she really happy?

In fact, even Wu Jue herself didn't know whether she really resented Lin Jiahe all along, or just because after Shen Tong passed away, she needed to find a reasonable outlet for her loneliness.

It can't be said that she was suddenly relieved, but the moment he rushed to the truck, no matter how resentful she was, she had to admit that this seemingly arrogant and indifferent person was really guilty for his unintentional mistakes. So, such a person is not a villain by any means, is he? And she, henceforth, could not continue to trample on this guilt arbitrarily and viciously.

Forgive him! After experiencing life and death together. Wu Jue thought. No, it's to forgive yourself and let go of that kind and beautiful Shen Tong.

Wu Jue reached out and stroked his thin and pale cheeks, and smiled faintly, but for some reason, bursts of moisture welled up under his eyes, and a tear slipped down and fell on Lin Jiahe's lips.

Lin Jiahe slowly opened his eyes and saw that it was this woman who looked at him, smiling and crying. He quietly looked at her, then stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of his lips, and whispered, "It's salty." ”

Wu Jue reacted, quickly turned his back in embarrassment, and wiped his eyes.

After wiping away his tears and taking a deep breath, Wu Jue turned his head and asked, "Why do you want to do such a stupid thing?" I'd rather you fight with me for the sake of the urban village. This is what I know about Lin Jiahe. How could you possibly pay for that kind of unintentional mistake? ”

Lin Jiahe held her hand and looked directly at her: "Yes, you are right. Lin Jiahe is not a person who will pay for unintentional mistakes. I just want to pay for your pain. ”

The tears that had just stopped came up again in an instant. Wu Jue thought that she was just an ordinary and vulgar woman, and she would also be moved by a man's beautiful words.

Lin Jiahe said tentatively: "Wu Jue, let me use the rest of my life to compensate for the harm I once caused you. ”

Wu Jue shook his head: "You don't owe me anymore, no, in fact, you never owe me anything." So be it, I won't embarrass you anymore. We won't see each other again. ”

She pulled her hand out of his palm and smiled faintly at him: "Take care, Jiahe." ”

With that, she turned around and walked out of the door of the ward.

"Wait." Before he reached the door, he stopped her again, "Come to this point, what are you going to do in the urban village?" As far as I know, these are actually planned by Mayor Ye. ”

It turned out that he already knew.

It's just that without their own pushing, or fueling, the urban village will not come to this point. She has no intention of destroying Jiang Cheng's memory, and she has never rejected those who wantonly damage cultural memory for profit. The arrow was on the bow, and she didn't know if she could keep it from happening.

"Let's take one step at a time, in short, I will do my best to protect the urban village now." After that, she couldn't help but laugh mockingly, "Yesterday I had to tear down that old street with my own hands, and now I'm saying this kind of thing here." I'm such a ridiculous woman. But even so, it's probably just empty words, I'm just an insignificant little person, where I have the ability to say that I will demolish it, and I will keep it. ”

"You first delay the demolition time as much as possible, and I'll figure out the rest." After a pause, he seemed to be a little helpless to speak, "Although you just told me to take care, I'm afraid that we will have to meet often for the sake of the urban village in the future." I hope you don't feel too uncomfortable. ”

Wu Jue smiled faintly: "Since I have been relieved, I shouldn't be in the opinion or not, the reason why I said goodbye is because since then, I don't know what reason we have to meet." Now, of course, I don't feel uncomfortable because of business. ”

"That's fine." He seemed to think in silence for a moment, and spoke before Wu Jue stepped forward again, "Why did you pounce yesterday?" ”

Wu Jue shook his head: "I don't know, probably I don't dare to face that kind of scene." ”

I don't dare to see someone disappear in front of my eyes in that way again.

After going back, Wu Jue simply told Zhou Xing about the matter, although she described it lightly, but when she mentioned the part where Lin Jiahe ran onto the road and crashed the car, Zhou Xing, who was sitting opposite her for dinner, was still shocked and almost bit the chopsticks. His eyes widened in disbelief for a long time, and then he suddenly burst out laughing again.

He smiled and shook his head: "I really didn't expect Lin Jiahe to do such an irrational thing." He could even give up his life for you. ”

Wu Jue frowned without a trace, and subconsciously retorted: "He didn't do this stupid thing for me, but to atone for the mistakes he made." ”

Zhou Xing sighed: "Wu Jue, Wu Jue, you have always been smart, why deceive yourself at this time, think about it, if you change someone else, will he do this?" ”

Wu Jue choked, even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't refute this too obvious fact. In fact, in the hospital, Lin Jiahe said that he was just paying for her pain.

In fact, she has always known Lin Jiahe's thoughts about her, and even used this feeling despicably. It's just that she can't face it, because she is afraid that once she faces it, she will fall into the mud from now on.

She was just a secular woman after all. Putting aside her previous hatred and being fallen in love with a proud son of heaven like Lin Jiahe, how could she not be troubled and secretly proud, and how could those unspeakable subtle vanities be impatient. In the same way, it is natural that she will be sincerely afraid, and she will suffer from gains and losses - so even if she decides to have a relationship again, it is impossible for someone like Lin Jiahe.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zhou Xing continued: "To be honest, since Lin Jiahe withdrew from the urban village project, I have thought a lot. In fact, from beginning to end, he didn't do anything wrong. It is indeed unfair for us to impose trumped-up charges on him. I know your concerns, even if there is no hate, it is impossible for you and Lin Jiahe to fall in love, right? As your brother, I certainly don't want you to be with him. Living in this kind of family, a lot of joy is taken away. I've really learned this in the past few years, so I don't want you to repeat my mistakes. ”

"I didn't fall in love with him." Wu Jue responded to all of Zhou Xing's words bluntly and concisely. Without love, there is no need to say anything.

Zhou Xing was slightly stunned, and all the following words that were originally in his throat were swallowed back. He smiled helplessly: "Forget it, you have always been smart, where do you need my guidance." ”

When he said this, Wu Jue was a little reluctant: "I didn't mean that, I just felt that this matter really didn't mean anything to me." She paused, then added, "At least not for now." ”

Zhou Xing also knew that it was useless to say more, so he changed the topic: "What should we do in the urban village." ”

"I have informed the team that the demolition will be postponed for the time being." She paused, "But it's impossible to delay for too long without reason, Mayor Ye's side will definitely not be able to pass the level, and besides, if it takes too long, Wei Hong will also have a lot of losses." ”

He frowned: "You said that Lin Jiahe would find a way." Did he say anything about it? ”

She shook her head: "He said to find a way because the urban village means a lot to him." He's not a person who likes to sell guanzi, and if he didn't sue me, he must have thought of a way yet. ”

Wu Jue came to the urban village again, and it was already two days later. She has told the demolition team to postpone the start of construction, but the exact time has not been determined. She knew that Mayor Ye must be paying attention to the movements of the urban village at all times, so she couldn't withdraw the construction team for no reason, and the two giant forklifts were still in place, like two monsters, eyeing the entrance of the urban village. It looks like it's going to swallow up this ancient street at any moment.

Three or five workers were idle at the intersection playing cards.

Wu Jue was having a headache about how to continue to delay, when he suddenly heard the sound of a vehicle stopping behind him. She subconsciously turned her head and saw two black Audis in suits and leather shoes walking down. She thought, what other big people can come to the urban village at this time? Then, she really saw a big man, Qin Yuanzhi, a master of Chinese painting.

Qin Yuanzhi obviously saw her too, was slightly stunned, and smiled at her, probably not thinking of who this one-sided woman was.

Wu Jue thought for a while and stepped forward: "Hello Grandpa Qin." ”

Qin Yuanzhi patted his head: "You are ......"

Wu Jue smiled: "On your birthday some time ago, I met you with Cheng Yuzheng. ”

"Oh. Wu...... Wu ......"

"Wu Jue."

"Yes, yes, the little girl's name is Wu Jue, look at my memory." Qin Yuanzhi patted his forehead and laughed at himself.

"Grandpa Qin can remember me, and the younger generation is already very honored. Grandpa Qin, you are ......"

"Didn't I hear that the government was going to demolish the urban village, so I quickly invited the comrades of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage to take a look. Fortunately, Jiahe told me about this, and if it can be recognized as a historic site, the government can't just demolish it. ”

Wu Jue sighed secretly, he didn't expect Lin Jiahe to think of this method. Qin Yuanzhi is such a person, stomping his feet can cause a small earthquake in the cultural world, with his fame, he directly wrote to the Cultural Relics Bureau, and identified a historic site in the urban village, and the local government had no choice but to demolish it.

Wu Jue nodded: "That junior won't bother you to visit." ”

Qin Yuanzhi smiled at her kindly, and followed the group into the urban village.

Watching them walk away, Wu Jue thought about it, walked to the side of the street, stopped a taxi, and went to the hospital.

Wu Jue knocked on the door of the false ward, only to hear a calm "Please come in" from inside.

"That ......" For some reason, after that small accident, Wu Jue was a little difficult to face Lin Jiahe. Nothing else, just a little awkward.

"You're here!" Lin Jiahe was obviously a little surprised.

Wu Jue approached slightly: "How are your feet?" ”

"It's okay, the doctor said he would be discharged in a few days."

"Oh." Wu Jue nodded, "That old Mr. Qin......"

"You got it?" Lin Jiahe asked, "I told him about it, and the old gentleman was nostalgic and naturally didn't want the urban village to be demolished, so he directly wrote an application in his personal name and reported it to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage." I estimate that in the next two days, a ban on demolition will be issued. When the historic sites are successfully identified, one qiē can be considered in the long run. ”

"I'm sorry for you! If it weren't for me......"

"What trouble are you talking to me?" Lin Jiahe chuckled, "I'm very happy that you can come to see me now." ”

Wu Jue stood beside the bed, not knowing what to say for a while. Lin Jiahe stared straight at her face like that, and a pair of eyes as deep as the sea made her feel the urge to flee in a panic.

After a while, she finally spoke: "Then you take care of your injuries, I have time to come to see you again." ”

After speaking, he was about to turn around, but Lin Jiahe grabbed her: "Will you come to see me again?" ”

Obviously it was just an understatement touch, but Wu Jue felt that the hands that grabbed her hands had a kind of burning bone-eroding heat, and she wanted to break away, but found that she couldn't use any strength.

Lin Jiahe sat up straight and pressed her eyes: "Wu Jue, do you really not hate me anymore?" ”

Wu Jue almost didn't dare to look back at him, so he could only pretend to be calm and nodded.

In the next second, Lin Jiahe's hand loosened slightly. I thought he was going to let go of her, but unexpectedly, he suddenly moved up, grabbed her arm, and gently took her away. Wu Jue was defenseless, and the whole person easily fell into his arms.

When that kiss with a scorching breath fell, Wu Jue almost had the illusion of being unreal. How long? How long has it been since you touched this lip? It turned out that it was this feeling of nostalgia. So much so, she didn't struggle at all.

Lin Jiahe described the territory he missed over and over again, from the center of his eyebrows to his lips, which was originally just an understatement touch, but later, it became more and more intense. The arms around her were getting harder and harder, and their lips and tongue swallowed her breath, eager to suck her whole body in.

After a long time, Wu Jue finally pushed him away because of suffocation, panting heavily.

Lin Jiahe was no better, the whole point was faint, but the hand holding her didn't let go, and after a while, he finally spoke: "Wu Jue, I know you have feelings for me." Since you don't hate me anymore, is it okay for us to start anew, like two strangers, and get to know each other anew? Let me get to know you and take care of you. ”

He said this with almost a humble caution. Where can I still see the high-ranking president on weekdays. It turns out that in love, all beings are really equal.

Wu Jue shook his head: "No." I don't hate you anymore, but what about Shen Tong? I don't want to do what he doesn't like me to do. ”

Lin Jiahe frowned painfully: "Wu Jue, are you sober?" If Shen Tong really knows something, I think he must be willing to let you be happy, instead of going into a dead end and not coming out. ”

"No, no, no, I can't do that." Wu Jue continued to shake his head again and again, jumped up suddenly, and took a few steps back, "This is too unfair to Shen Tong, I can't be with you no matter what." ”

Lin Jiahe wanted to catch her again, but she was already a few steps away from him. He looked at the distance between the figures with some despair, the end of the world, is this the feeling.

Wu Jue exhaled deeply: "You have a good rest, I'll come to see you again when I have time." ”

With that, she almost escaped from the independent VIP room.

Let me get to know you and take care of you. What a simple and beautiful love story. Wu Jue leaned against the staircase of the hospital, only to feel that his whole body strength seemed to be drained.

Not tempted? Of course not.

As Lin Jiahe said, she does have feelings for him. It's easy for a woman to fall in love with a man, maybe just a momentary touch. Rao is no longer moved on the surface, and she also understands his sincerity to her. Anyone else would probably have a moth to pounce on it.

However, she couldn't, there was still a Shen Tong between them. She couldn't convince herself.
