In the end, the sound downstairs returned to quiet, and the crying outside the door disappeared, and I gradually collapsed in Shen Boteng's arms, and Shen Boteng gently patted my back with his hand and said, "It's okay." ”

I didn't speak, my eyes fixed on the window. After a long pause, I burst out laughing.

I don't know if I laugh at what I miscalculated, or laugh at what I can never control, many things that I take for granted will always exceed my expectations. Circumferential blood.

I pushed Shen Boteng, who was holding me, away. I shuffled my feet in the direction of the door, and when I opened the door, it was empty, and the silence was terrible, as if it had become a no-man's land, and I stood there for a while, and then I raised my steps and walked forward, until I reached the end of the corridor and turned to the staircase, and I leaned over to look out of the window.

Everything outside the window was already in this short hour. It was cleaned up by the people in the hospital, as if it had never happened.

Shen Boteng came behind me and looked out the window with me, he looked at it for a long time and said, "This is her own choice, and it has nothing to do with anyone." ”

I sighed and said, "Yes, it's the first time I've seen someone end their life so hastily in such a short time, and it took us so long to grow up, but it's so easy to die." ”

Shen Boteng said: "Some people are too fond of drilling the horns, even if they don't have such thoughts this time, maybe they will walk on this road next time, so you don't need to worry about it anymore." ”

I sneered and said, "I thought it was the best arrangement I had given them, but in the end it turned out to be self-defeating, and things turned out to be ......"

Shen Boteng took me in his arms from behind me and said, "Okay." Whether it is life or death is the freedom of others, and none of us can interfere with it. And Shan Ying's purpose has also been achieved. As long as she dies, Yuan Changming will not abandon the child, and it is impossible for him to have half an obsession with you anymore, isn't this a good result? Both sides got what they wanted. ”

I raised my face and stared at Shen Boteng, he saw that my eyes were a little weird, and stared at him motionless, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" ”

I said, "Do you think this is a good result?" ”

Shen Boteng looked at me.

I explained in a weak voice: "But this is not the result I want, the reason why I did this is because I thought that Shan Ying could take Yuan Changming away, as long as she could take him away, from now on, the mountains and rivers will be far away, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, they will be free, and the family can live well." I clutched my chest and said, "But why did things develop like this, I don't understand it myself, Shen Boteng, what I want has never been exchanged for human life, and this result makes me the person who wants to die under this thirty floors now, you know?" ”

He didn't answer my words, just looked at me with thin lips slightly pursed.

I asked the last question: "What is human life in your eyes?" ”

I didn't wait for his answer, but stretched out my hand to push him away, and walked into the ward, and Shen Boteng didn't follow again.

After that, I kept huddled in my room, not stepping out of the door of the ward, and when I arrived at night, it seemed that Shen Boteng and the nurses had ordered me to close the curtains in the room and close the windows for me after dinner.

There were two nurses who stayed here, but now I don't feel so scared, I just have a deep sense of powerlessness in my heart, I can't sleep here, so I sent them away, the two nurses were a little hesitant, something like this happened today, she seemed to be afraid that I would do something stupid, so she shirked a little between words.

It doesn't seem to be going to leave as I say.

I don't have much energy to deal with them here today, and if they don't leave, I just lie quietly on the bed, close my eyes and fall asleep.

After the night passed, Shen Boteng came to the hospital early in the morning to see me, when Shen Boteng pushed the door and walked in, the two nurses stood up from the sofa at the same time, Shen Boteng looked at me on the bed, and saw that I was still lying on the bed sleeping, so he made a shushing gesture to the two, the two nurses understood his words very cleverly, and did not make much movement, and the two left lightly one after the other.

After only the two of us were left in the room, Shen Boteng walked towards me on the bed, he stood on the edge of the bed, and also did not disturb me, but bent over and sat down.

I felt his gaze fall on me all the time, very quiet and peaceful, but my body was inexplicably tense at this time, when I had not slept at all.

After opening his eyes, which happened to collide with Shen Boteng's vision, the look in his eyes paused for three seconds, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt for me and said, "You are awake." ”

I snorted.

Shen Boteng asked me if I had slept well last night.

But I didn't answer him, but sat up from the bed, and I said, "I want to see Shan Ying and Yuan Changming." ”

Shen Boteng didn't say no and agreed, but just asked me: "Can you save your body?" ”

I said, "I'm measured." ”

Shen Boteng said: "Since you know the proportions, then in a few days, Shan Ying's future life will definitely need to be dealt with in a few days, and I will arrange for you to meet at that time." ”

I hummed, didn't say anything more, and lay down slowly.

After that, I stayed quietly in my room and didn't go out anywhere, Shen Boteng was a little uneasy at first, and often told the nurse to pay attention to my emotions and movements in the past few days, and report to him on time.

But after a week passed, I was still the same as before, like a nobody, what should I do, Shen Boteng's attention to me relaxed a little, and on the eighth day after a week, he arranged for me to meet Shan Ying as he promised.

Shan Ying has no parents, only her uncle and mother and a sister, and her sudden death is naturally to tell her relatives at home, but Shan Ying's uncle and mother refused to take over her funeral on the grounds that the distance was too far, and also said that if they really want to go alone, they can let people bring Han Dan here.

But Yuan Changming didn't let Han Dan come over, and he also calmly accepted the fact that Shan Ying's only relatives and elders didn't come, and he did everything for Shan Ying alone, and he was also very calm during this time, so calm that it didn't look like a dead person at all, but like losing an insignificant person.

Yuan Zi naturally knows what has happened recently, after Shan Ying's death, she has been with Yuan Changming, of course she knows what kind of person Yuan Changming is.

But Yuan Changming never said a word to her, no matter how Yuan Zi flattered and comforted him, Yuan Changming ignored it all, not so much as ignorance, but should be described as losing his soul, because he was not ignoring it at all, but the soul did not exist at all, as if only a body was left here to complete the task and live.

Yuan Zi pasted him with a hot face for a long time, and when he saw that he didn't react, he could only quiet down and accompany him, and no longer say a word of nonsense.

Because Shan Ying's death was very sudden and bizarre, until now, it was a thing that no one expected, and the death was not glorious, so there was no big deal.

After the police investigated the cause of death and ruled out homicide, Shan Ying's body lay in the hospital morgue for several days before being transferred to the crematorium.

Naturally, I also appeared in the crematorium, and after Yuan Changming was waiting inside for Shan Ying's body to come out, I waited outside the gate of the funeral home.

After waiting for about half an hour, it happened to be drizzling weather, Yuan Changming walked out of the funeral home in the rain with Shan Ying's urn, Yuan Zi held an umbrella behind him and followed with great effort, while staring at Yuan Changming, who was walking fast in front of him, while trotting with an umbrella to drag Yuan Changming and said, "Changming!" It's raining, what are you doing so fast? ”

Yuan Changming didn't hear it until he saw a black car parked at the door of the funeral home, he paused, and his footsteps stopped unconsciously.

The eyes seem to be looking inside the car through the window.

I also sat in the car and outside him and looked at him for a few seconds, and glanced at Shen Boteng beside him, Shen Boteng did not look at me, but looked down and flipped through the documents in his hand.

When I raised my hand to push the car door, he said faintly behind me, "Wear an extra dress, it's windy outside." ”

This is Zhou Jiwen, who was sitting in the front, handed me a coat, I took it in my hand and wrapped it around myself, pushed the door and walked down, the driver followed me with an umbrella, and I walked towards Yuan Changming with a particularly steady footstep.

He also watched calmly as I walked towards him step by step.

After I stood in front of him, I looked at the urn in Yuan Changming's hand, smiled coldly and ruthlessly, and said: "Changming, now I finally know that you love me, and I am honored that you like me so much." ”

I stretched out my hand and grabbed his arm and said, "Now that my purpose has arrived, we can really be together forever, Changming, from now on there will never be any woman who will be an obstacle between us, Shan Ying's death, death is not a pity, death is very happy, are you happy?" ”

Yuan Changming looked at me expressionlessly.

My words didn't make him emotional, but Yuan Zi on the side couldn't help it, this is an extremely tragic thing, no matter who the other party is, even if it's a stranger today, I shouldn't say this kind of thing at this time, Yuan Zi felt a little excessive, she said: "Do you still have a conscience?" What's so exciting? What death is not a pity? It's a human life! How can you say such vicious things at this time? ”

I looked at Yuan Zi with a smile and said, "Do you want me to kowtow and bow down, crying and begging her not to die?"

"You!" Yuan Zi was choked speechless by my words, but she couldn't find anything to refute me, so she could only stare at me with an ugly face, as if she wanted to eat me.

I was very happy about her speechless appearance, and when I was about to look at Yuan Changming, he suddenly waved his hand and slapped down on the left side of the face, which made my ears ring, and my cheeks were hot, and my snot was knocked out.

Yuan Zi's pupils widened, and she looked at Yuan Changming, who had always been extremely polite to women, with some astonishment.

I also looked at him and continued to laugh and say, "What? Now that people are dead, will you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade? Why did you go earlier? Yuan Changming, don't you keep saying that you will love me forever? But what do you mean now?! After I finished saying this, Yuan Changming slapped me on the right side of the cheek again.

My eyelids were shaking violently, I kept the posture of being beaten by him for a long time, and I just wanted to look up at him, but who knew that Yuan Changming didn't give me any chance to speak at all this time, and slapped me again, this slap was more hard than before, because the corners of my mouth were beaten by him and bleed, my lips just moved, and the disgusting smell of blood spread in my cavity.

Yuan Zi was afraid that Yuan Changming would attack again, so he immediately held Yuan Changming's hand, frowned and said loudly to him: "Changming!" Calm down! ”

But Yuan Changming didn't intend to touch me, but said to me expressionlessly: "You lied to me again, but I still want to believe you for the last time, Liang Sheng, my Yuan family owes you, from today onwards, everything will be clear, you can do it yourself." ”

After he finished saying this, he shook off Yuan Zi's hand on his arm, and he passed me by with the urn in his arms steadily, and at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew over, brushing up the red paper pasted on Shan Ying's urn.

The red paper swirled in a circle in the drizzle and strong winds, and finally fluttered down on a low-lying surface of stagnant water, and the otherwise dry paper gradually became soaked.

A few large black characters written with a brush on the red paper became clearer and clearer.

There are five words written on it, Yuan Changming's wife.

My eyes fell on the wet red paper, and suddenly I laughed, and I reached out and rubbed my sore cheeks, and smiled nonchalantly.

Yuan Zi, who was standing in front of me, looked at me for a long time, and didn't seem to have anything to say, so he also passed by me.

I was the only one standing in front of the crematorium's gates, and I withdrew my hand from my cheek, sneered three times, and turned back to the car.

Shen Boteng, who was sitting in the car, lazily glanced at my already swollen cheeks, and then opened his mouth to make a summary of this matter, he said, "Is it comfortable?" ”

I said, "Comfortable, of course, at least my heart is comfortable at this time." ”

Shen Boteng said: "Use the pain of flesh and skin to make up for your uneasy conscience." He sneered and said, "Should I praise you for your naivety or should I give you a sentence to ask for your own suffering?" ”

I said, "Don't worry about it." ”

After Shen Boteng closed the file on his leg, he said lightly: "I don't bother to care about you, your starting point for this matter is good, it's just that the matter is out of your control, you think that Yuan Changming will leave here because of the child and Shan Ying, but you seem to have forgotten a little, Shan Ying will go instead of you, Yuan Changming will not be happy, but will be angry that he was deceived, Shan Ying at that time is equivalent to your accomplice, Yuan Changming will naturally vent all his anger on Shan Ying."

And Shan Ying, in the final analysis, is just a woman, to replace the woman he likes, which is a shame for her, not to mention that after the replacement, she suffered from Yuan Changming's greater shame and insult, she naturally can't bear it, this is what no woman can bear, she will have such an extreme approach, it is not difficult to understand, she finally made a choice to commit suicide in a short period of time, not for anything else, just like using her life to win you once, from now on, She is a thorn between you and Yuan Changming that no one can pull out, things have changed so much, can you and Yuan Changming have anything? ”

Shen Baiteng sneered and said, "I have to say, she did win, and won back a game for herself in the end, this is what she wants." ”

Shen Boteng analyzed Shan Ying's death quite thoroughly, he saw that I didn't react when he heard it, and he said: "You women's thoughts, I'm sorry, sometimes as a man I can't understand, will life be more important than love?" ”

He asked me this question at the end, and I finally reacted, slowly raising my face to look at him, and I said, "What if it's you?" ”

Shen Boteng said, "What do you want to ask?" ”

I said, "Which is more important, life or love?" ”

Shen Boteng thought for a long time, shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said, "For me, nothing matters. ”

I listened and didn't ask any more.

Instead, it was Shen Boteng who pulled my body closer to him, his fingers stroked the finger prints on his face, and he sighed twice and said, "To be honest, Yuan Changming is really good at it." He wiped the blood from the corners of my lips with his thumb and said, "If it were me, I might not be willing to do such a cruel hand to you." ”

I smiled and replied, "Not necessarily, it should be more than that." ”

Shen Boteng smiled, and he said, "At least not now." ”

On the fourth day after Shan Ying's cremation, Yuan Zi came to the hospital in a panic to find Shen Boteng, at that time Shen Boteng and I were both doing their own things, he was dealing with the documents, I was lying on the bed flipping through the newspapers of the past few days, the room was very quiet, no one spoke, and the sudden noise would naturally react quickly, so at the same time I turned my face to look at the person outside the door.

At the same time as we looked at the past, the door of the ward also opened, Yuan Zi rushed in in a panic, and after arriving at Shen Boteng's side, he grabbed Shen Boteng's hands tightly, and said with a crying voice: "Boteng, Changming is gone, today I went to his house to look for him, there was no one inside, and the nanny at home said that Changming has never gone back since the day he left with Shan Ying's ashes." She said anxiously: "What should I do, Shan Ying's death must have hit him hard, will he not want to punish himself?" ”

Yuan Zi said that she was getting more and more anxious and emotional, and Shen Boteng immediately pressed her restless body and asked if she had given Yuan Changming a call.

Yuan Zi cried and said: "I've been beating, I've been playing all morning, but no one has answered, and now he and Shan Ying's child is seriously ill, where can he take the child, will he not be able to think about it?" Patten, he is my last relative in this world, he is my brother, my own brother. ”

Shen Boteng comforted her and said, "Okay, don't think nonsense, he's not as fragile as you think." Shen Boteng glanced at the time, and then said to Yuan Zi: "You first think about the places where he may go and often go, and I will send someone to find it now." ”

Yuan Zi nodded with tears on her face, and at this moment her phone rang again, her crying expression stopped again, thinking it was a call from Yuan Changming, so she immediately answered it, but who knows, her face changed greatly after answering, I thought that Yuan Changming had an accident, and I got up from the bed and got out of bed when I opened the quilt, but who knows, the next second Yuan Zi said to Shen Boteng: "Boteng, Zhou Zhou has a high fever." ”

After she said this, she pulled Shen Boteng to walk outside, Shen Boteng could only be dragged forward by the frizzy her, and after he glanced back at me, he withdrew his gaze and walked out of the ward with Yuan Zi.

After they all left, I was the only one left in the room, I stood at the door staring at the disappeared backs of Yuan Zi and Shen Boteng, and was turning around with worry and thinking about where Yuan Changming would go if he disappeared, I heard footsteps behind me, thinking that the nurses had come in, and just wanted to turn around and say to them that I don't want to take medicine for the time being, can I push it at night, but before the words were completely spoken, there was a sharp pain in the back of my neck, my body straightened at that moment, staring at the curtains in front of me with wide eyes, just for a second, The brain lost consciousness and fainted.

I woke up again in a brightly lit room, and my consciousness was still a little blurry, and in a daze I heard a woman talking, in a voice that was so unfamiliar, so strange that I had never heard it before.

I struggled with my vague consciousness, and it took a lot of effort to slowly open my eyes, and the first person who appeared in my sight was a woman in a long black dress, she was not wearing any jewelry, her big fluffy curls hung down on her shoulders, and her somewhat beautiful eyes were falling on me and looking at me seriously.

The first thought in my mind was that I didn't know her, who she was, where I was now, why did I faint? What the hell happened before?

Questions popped up in my head, and I was immediately scared to sit up from my bed.

The woman's look gradually became arrogant, and she asked a man next to her, "Is she the prostitute named Liang Sheng?" ”

The man next to her replied respectfully, "Yes, Miss Tong." ”

The woman's face turned a little contemptuous, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a mocking smile: "Oh, so that's it." ”

She took a document from the black-clothed man next to her backhand, flipped through two pages, and after reading it, she threw it back into the man's hand, she smiled meaningfully and said: "It seems that she is still pregnant, and it is really rare for a prostitute to get pregnant, but it's okay, at least the chips in our hands are a lot heavier, and Dad said that we must get that channel this year." ”

Her slender finger pointed at me and said, "As for this woman, make good use of it, Yuan's shares, the surname Shen will be sent back to me intact." ”

The man in black on the side lowered his head and cautiously replied, "Yes, Miss Tong." ”
