158. I don't owe you anything
Elaine decorates her Chinese apartment in the same postmodern style as her home in the United States. Between the living room and the kitchen, there is a large bar counter with a neon sign overhead, and when you press the switch, it shines with colorful lights just like in a bar. It was winter, but she was wearing a bright red off-the-shoulder dress and bewitching smoky makeup, and over the years, she had spent all her money to restore her appearance, and there were almost no traces of injuries on her face.
"Long time no see, Professor Lu."
"Elaine, you've achieved your goal." Luci looked at her with a calm expression.
Elaine snorted coldly, disdain and depression, depression wrapped in frustration: "Don't pretend to be a victim. But also, you Caroline has always been an Oscar-winning actress, who can compare to you in terms of acting skills? β
"The person you want to take revenge on is me, why involve Helan Qiubai?"
"Sure enough, it's a psychologist." Elaine stretched out her hand, smiled and put it on Luci's shoulder, and was shaken off by her disgust, Elaine was not annoyed, and continued, "If she doesn't hate you enough, then no matter how much I tell her, she won't be affected by me." What's more, everything I say is the truth. Caroline, paper can't contain fire, and there's nothing wrong with the kidnapping case that started because of you, right? You pressed the button yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that, right? Tell me, what did I do wrong? β
Elaine's slender eyes began to redden, she bypassed Luci, went to the bar to pour a glass of wine, raised her head and drank it all: "After the explosion, not only the secret room where we were locked up, but also the room where you and Jesse were also exploded after ten seconds, and all the equipment was wiped out, and the FBI people thought that they would never know what happened to you and Jesse in that secret room." But ten years, after ten years, using the remaining residues, the only remaining jΓΉ and clues, the people of the technical department repaired the surveillance footage and heard everything about your conversation. Elaine paced slowly up to Luci and looked at her with a smile, "Carolyn, I hate Jesse, but I hate you even more. β
"How can a man who has ruined all of our lives live as if nothing happened? How can you pretend that nothing happened? Do you know how I've come over the years? Look at my face, Lucy Bloom, look at my face! Do you know how many times I've been suffering for this face? Do you know how much it hurts? I don't have money so hard to make money, I don't even have time to fall in love, I live in hatred every day, I don't even dare to cry, do you know what it's like? Elaine pinched her chin, "Look at you again, so young, so beautiful, still a famous professor, you don't lack anything, I don't understand, why you have to make us innocent people bear the guilt, I can't understand why I didn't die in that fire back then, why God wants to fuck me pigs and dogs to live......"
She burst out laughing, tears mixing with eyeliner, causing her cheeks to slip through black tears. She sat on the ground, as if she was accusing Lucifer, and as if she was mocking her ridiculous life.
Luci turned and disappeared from her vision, she stopped crying and looked in surprise in the direction she had disappeared.
"Elaine, I can't turn back time, I can't make up for what happened back then, no matter how good I have the ability to go through the sky. Elaine, I'm sorry. Now, look ahead. She held the fruit knife in her hand, the tip of which was pointed at her face, slowly, slowly, stabbing into her skin.
Elaine felt as if time had stood still, except for the bright red blood on Lucie's face, which was particularly glaring, and the tip of the knife flew on her face, making a cut of nearly ten centimeters. Elaine looked at the woman who had been beautiful just a moment ago, and now she became as terrifying as a female ghost, and the blood slowly seeped out, ticking, dripping onto the floor of her house. She felt that she had been looking forward to this scene for ten years, and Luci was no longer beautiful, and she had become ugly like herself.
Elaine, are you satisfied with this? She asked herself in her heart.
"Caroline, you ......"
"Tina, Mike, Clarence, Joseph, Fiona, Abby, Blair, Gary, Silver, I'm sorry for you. What I owe them will be repaid when I go to hell. There's only so much I can pay back what I owe you. All you want is that I'm as miserable as you, in fact, I'm worse than you. Elaine, in this life, in this life, I hope you and I will never see each other again. Remember, don't come back to pestering me. β
Luci turned around, her back was slender but not lonely, thin but still confident. Elaine laughed, tears streaming from her eyes. I hated her for so long, and I couldn't compare to her after all. It turned out that even if she didn't have that face, she was still inferior to her. She will never have her self-confidence, her arrogance.
"Hahaha... Hahahaha..."She felt that life was so ridiculous, and she herself was even more ridiculous, eleven years of hatred, waiting for this day, but this day really came, she was not happy at all, "Why, why is this......"
Lucy reached out and touched her face, blood staining her fingers. There is never a reason for the things of the world.
Because she has never been very happy since she was a child, her personality dictates that she can't be as carefree as other children of the same age, she can't cry when she's sad, and laugh when she's happy. Whether she is happy or unhappy, she is used to hiding her inner thoughts with indifference, because she is afraid that others will see through her. Over time, it will give others the feeling of being on top. Later, her grades got better and better, and she could study at the top universities at such a young age, and she could become the youngest psychologist. A qiΔ looks so perfect. Arm yourself with these vanity appearances, and hear too many people express their envy for themselves every day, maybe you can really pretend to be happy.
It's just occasionally, really just occasionally, and she will be vulnerable enough to give up. Sitting at the door of the house, feeling the hot pain on my face, a huge sense of powerlessness, rushed to my heart.
"Sister?" Because Lu Xifei didn't come back for too long, and the phone couldn't get through, he originally planned to go out to find it, but he didn't expect her to sit at the door of the house, he wanted to help her up, but he saw her with blood on the left side of her face, "Sister, what's wrong with you, you, hurry, hurry up and go to the hospital, I'll drive ......"
She grabbed his hand: "Skin trauma, can't die." β
"Don't make any more trouble, okay!" Meng Liuchen yelled, tears gushed out, and they all said that men don't flick when they have tears, but he really couldn't help it, "What do you want to make yourself like before you are willing?" Don't make a fuss, come with me to the hospital! β
"West Blooming ......"
Qiao Yixia came out of the house, looked at her injured face, stretched out her hand, and retracted it again, she hugged her gently, and rested her chin on her shoulder: "Xifei, I don't know what happened, but, let's go to the hospital." β
"Okay, Yixia."
The level of medicine is developed, but it has not yet reached the point of omnipotence, and the scar is not deep, and it is definitely not shallow. In the words of doctors, if you don't accept plastic surgery, you can only live with this long scar for the rest of your life. Jiang Xiage couldn't help but scold the doctor directly, and was pulled out by other doctors. Lucy had gauze on her face, and she couldn't see any fluctuations in her eyes. She was so smart, how could she not know that there was no way to fix it.
"Xifei, does it hurt?" On the way home, the two of them interlocked their fingers and walked back slowly.
"It's fine."
"West Bloom...... I'm sorry. β
Lucy stopped and turned to face her, "It's okay." β
"Don't you ask me, do you remember something?"
"It doesn't matter. At least for me, it doesn't matter. Luci looked at her with tenderness in her eyes.
"I still can't remember the past, but I think I must love you very much. Otherwise, my heart wouldn't hurt so much. Qiao Yixia looked at the woman in front of her, she really wanted to remember her, and then, she must seriously say sorry to her again.
Luci tilted his head: "In this way, then my injuries are not in vain." At the very least, let me be sure that you bullied me earlier because you still have me in your heart. In this way, I will be more willing to be bullied by you in the future. β
"Not anymore." Qiao Yixia shook her head, "I will never bully you again in the future, I promise." β
"Hmm. If you get a little wound on your face in exchange for not being bullied in the future, it is also very cost-effective. After all, I will get along with you for the rest of my life. She smiled lightly, so beautiful, so beautiful that Qiao Yixia felt that all the darkness in the world was illuminated.
- Whether I have memories or no memories, at least when my heart aches because of your hurt, when you smile at me in the moment, I can be sure that I love you deeply.
Life seems to be starting to change for the better, and the two of them are gradually able to get along in a more harmonious way. Qiao Yixia not only won't deliberately make things difficult for her anymore, but will even take the initiative to help Lu Xifei cook, wash dishes, and clean the house. When Qiao's father and Qiao's mother came to see her, she was not so affectionate. Slowly, time shifted from winter to spring, and from spring to summer. Lu Xifei also began to think about work, no matter how much money she had, she couldn't stay at home all the time.
"Considered it?" During this time, Jiang Xiage would come to chat with her whenever he had time. Two people walked in the garden of the community and sat down together on a bench.
"Hmm." Although the salary is not very high, she has nothing to pick now, her prestige and job title are not as close to home as one.
"Well, since you've decided, of course I'm in favor of it. It's good to find something to do. You are so good, if you stay at home and be a 'nanny', it will really be overkill. β
"The day after tomorrow is Yi Xia's birthday, come over for a meal."
"Well, Professor Lu invited, how could I not come?" Jiang Xiage suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on her shoulder, "Did you sue her for that incident?" β
Yes, during this period of time, some things happened one after another, including, of course, Bai Ying died of massive bleeding during childbirth. In the end, she left only a bloodline for the merchant, and went underground to reunite with her husband in the best of years. Lu Xifei didn't make it in time to see her for the last time, and she didn't even attend Bai Ying's funeral. It was only after many days that she went to the grave and put a stick of incense on her, and it was only then that she really realized what it meant for me not to kill Beren, but Beren died because of me. After half a month, she found her best friend with Bai Ying, gave her a credit card, and asked her to give it to Bai Ying's parents, only to let her say that it was Bai Ying's savings before her death. The number is not very large, after all, the elderly are suspicious, but it is enough for them to provide for the elderly.
"Nope."
"It's also... Anyway, she can't remember it now. Jiang Xiage nodded clearly, "Sometimes I feel that our life is really like a TV series, and it is the most bloody one." β
"Well, it's good to get used to it."
"Xifei, I know a few good plastic surgeons, if you will......"
"I don't want to." She interrupted her words and stubbornly looked ahead, "I made this knife with my own hands, and it shouldn't be erased." Looks don't matter to me, at least, not that much. β
Jiang Xiage shrugged: "It's okay, after all, you are so talented, the first impression you give to people shouldn't always be superficial and beautiful." And. The warm summer breeze lifted her hair, and Lu Xi's hair shallow covered the scar, Jiang Xiage knew that she still cared, even if her mouth was hard, "And even now, you are just as beautiful." β
"Jiang Xiage, sometimes I really want to break off my friendship with you." They were on their way back. I have the impression that walking side by side with the afterglow of the sunset in such a quiet and beautiful time and space like this is already a college day.
"Hmph, you won't still call me stupid."
"Didn't you notice that those who approached me ended up dead?" She froze and looked at her with deep eyes, "Those who are not dead have become very unfortunate." β
There were three or two children who had just gotten out of school around her, and the two of them stood still in the wind.
"Then die. What have I been afraid of? β
There are two kinds of friendship between women, one is that lovers are like glue, calling each other girlfriends, inseparable. On the other hand, they don't contact so often, sometimes they can't sit together for a meal for months, but when one of them is in trouble, the other will definitely overcome the obstacles and appear by her side as quickly as possible. Jiang Xiage and Lu Xifei are the latter. In this materialistic society, sincerity is a very rare quality, and it is not easy to meet people whose mouths are like knife hearts but softer than tofu, how can they not cherish them.
Because I really think of you as my friend, so don't say I don't believe that you will bring me bad luck at all, even if I do become unlucky because I am close to you, so what? No matter how unfortunate it is, can it be more unfortunate than losing you?
