291. Freedom

After pressing for a long time, no one answered the door.

Ruan Shu leaned sideways and leaned his ear on the door panel, listening carefully to the movement inside.

It's a pity that there is nothing.

After staring at her eyebrows for a moment, she continued to ring the doorbell rather persistently, knocking on the door while pressing the doorbell - intuition, intuition told her that Fu Lingyuan was inside. The first thing she thought of was the three places he had taken her to alone, Yangmingshan, the Chinese Medicine Hall and the suite of this ordinary residential building.

The first time he came was after the charity dinner of Sanxin Group, he first took her to Yangmingshan to smoke, and then came here for the purpose of fulfilling the contract and going to bed, but in the end she didn't feel it.

The second time I came here, Li Qing couldn't find him, thinking that he was with her. She accidentally learned from Fu Qingli that he had been whipped for stealing his household registration certificate, so she came to him and took care of him for two days.

Long. She didn't know exactly how long it had been knocking. She thought that if Fu Lingyuan was really there, then she was very uninteresting, and no one was willing to deal with her, but she kept pestering.

Hands are sore.

The side of the hand also hurts.

Ruan Shu put down his hand, inexplicably holding back his anger, unable to figure out whether he was angry with himself or Fu Lingyuan.

Staring at the door, she stood for another minute or two, still still, and decided to give upβ€”perhaps her instincts were wrong this time.

Forget it, if you don't die, you should hurry up and go to the traditional Chinese medicine halls in Yangmingshan and Huangsang to find it again.

As soon as he took two steps, he heard a small voice behind him.

Ruan Shu turned his head.

The closed door opened.

The crack in the open door revealed Fu Lingyuan's long figure.

Simple gray drawstring sweatpants and a black racerman, two small tufts of hair flattened and stuck to the forehead, unshaven beard, a little unshaven, and bloodshot eyes covered with red silk.

The smell of alcohol and smoke came out of it.

Obviously, this is the image of him after a hangover.

Dispirited. Dispirited.

Ruan Shu looked at him silently.

Fu Lingyuan silently let her look at it, his eyes were still dark, but there was no expression.

One was inside the door, the other was outside, both motionless.

Ruan Shu was in a trance for a moment, feeling that the man in front of her was very unfamiliar, because for the first time, she didn't see her in his eyes.

In the end, it was Fu Lingyuan who reacted first and lifted his thin lips: "Come in." ”

The voice is quite hoarse after excessive smoking and alcohol, and the tone is flat, without any ups and downs.

With that, he threw the door and walked inside.

Ruan Shu paused in place for two seconds and stepped forward.

As soon as I entered, the smell of wine and smoke was even worse, and it was so dark that I didn't even turn on the lights. She reached for the wall and fumbled for several seconds before she felt for the switch and turned it on.

When I looked around a little, I saw that the sofa was full of standing and overturned wine bottles, glass and cans, white and beer, and the ashtray on the coffee table was full of cigarette butts overflowing on the table.

And the house is closed, there are no windows, and there is no air conditioning, so it is quite stuffy.

Ruan Shu frowned very lightly, and saw Fu Lingyuan looking at the mess with his bare feet, walking straight to the sofa, his body fell heavily on his stomach, and he buried his face in the pillow, as if he had just been woken up by her persistent doorbell, and now he planned to continue sleeping.

"What's the matter?" He asked.

"Thirteen and Li Qing are looking for you." She replied.

"Okay." Fu Lingyuanying reached out to grope on the coffee table.

Because he didn't lift his face, he didn't have the exact position and direction, and he knocked over several wine bottles on the table, and there was a lot of noise.

Ruan Shu walked to the table and saw two mobile phones. One was the old Nokia he usually used, and the other was the old Nokia she had inadvertently taken out of the small compartment in his car.

She picked up the one he usually used and hurriedly handed it to him.

His palms were held together with hers, the calluses on the tips of his fingers were rough, and the palms were particularly ironed.

After two or three seconds, he let go of her hand and walked away from the phone.

Ruan Shu turned to the window, lifted the curtains, opened the window, and stood by the window, breathing fresh air, and in his ears was the sound of Fu Lingyuan calling Li Qing and Zhao Shisan.

"Say."

"Leave it alone."

"Lose it for two days."

"Then let his whole family disappear."

It was suddenly cold and cold, and the anger was very heavy.

Ruan Shu leaned against the window, lowered his eyes slightly, and remembered that he used to stand here and saw Lan Qin driving away from the north gate.

Behind him, Fu Lingyuan's tone stabilized again.

"Well, she's with me."

It should be Li Qing and Zhao Shisan who asked about her.

The next moment was the movement of Fu Lingyuan hanging up the phone and dropping the phone.

Then the room fell silent.

Now that someone has been notified in place, the matter seems to have been dealt with, so it's none of her business. Ruan Shu closed the window, lowered the curtains again, and restored it to its previous state, intending to retire after success.

When he walked to the entrance and was about to go out, he was stopped by Fu Lingyuan: "When you find here, stay with me." ”

It wasn't a commanding tone, but the phrase itself didn't give her a choice.

Ruan Shu pursed her lips, continued the setting she had given her in the past few days, and nodded obediently: "Okay." ”

The footsteps continued: "I'm going to buy dinner." Haven't eaten yet. ”

Not only did she not eat herself, but she believed that in his current state, most of the food that had been eaten since he came here at noon yesterday was only cigarettes and alcohol.

"Well......" Fu Lingyuan did not object.

Ruan Shu familiarly took the key from the shoe cabinet in the entrance and went out.

It was the same before, he was lying on his stomach to raise the injury on his back that was drawn out by the bamboo strips, and she went out to buy food. He told her that she didn't have to run far, that there was a restaurant on the street from the back door of the community. When she went to the back door, she found that the storefronts of the restaurants were small and dirty, and she drove to the nearby business district.

This time, she really didn't plan to run far, and went straight to the back door.

On summer nights, the weather is sweltering, and almost every household on both sides of the street has people moving out chairs and tables at the door, vests and pants, or gathering together in twos and threes to shake the pu fan and chat, or make up a game of cards or mahjong friends, or a few friends and neighbors have a table of dishes and drinks.

A strong breath of life.

Ruan Shu chose a food stall. Farewell to the broken hair in her ears, she squinted her narrow phoenix eyes and looked up at the menu, and the memory of Fu Lingyuan inviting Tang Xianyang to eat her last meal with her suddenly came to mind on the day of the countdown to the college entrance examination ten years ago. The details that were blurred with the years were unusually clear, and they even remembered what they had ordered at the time.

Of course, it was impossible for her to restore all the food of the year, so she chose a few things that were close.

When she went back, she used the key to unlock and enter the door, the situation in the house was exactly the same as when she went out, and Fu Lingyuan's posture on the sofa remained unchanged.

Ruan Shu didn't call him. She believed he heard her.

She put the packed food on the table, then walked over to reopen the window to ventilate, and when she passed the coffee table, she took a bottle of unfinished half a bottle of liquor before returning to the table and sitting down to eat.

When Fu Lingyuan got up from the sofa, Ruan Shu drank the bottle of liquor to the last glass.

Fu Lingyuan stared at her for several seconds, but did not speak.

So Ruan Shu drank the last cup, got up and went to the coffee table to look for it, and found another small half bottle, the small amount was only enough to hold two or three cups. She kind of regretted that when she just went out to buy food, she didn't stop by to buy some more.

But when she returned to the dining table in a hurry, she saw Fu Lingyuan take out two unopened bottles out of nowhere.

There was something fresh, of course, Ruan Shu didn't wait to see what he had leftovers, squinted his eyes and stared at the wine bottle, he couldn't help licking his lips greedily, holding the wine glass with both hands and handing it out in front of him.

Fu Lingyuan glanced at her.

Ruan Shu thought that he was unwilling to give, so he shook his hand: "I have drunk two catties at most, no problem." ”

This "two catties", he remembers. A long time ago, she was socializing in the box, and he specially went in to help her out, she mentioned it, and said that there would be a chance for him to see it another day. But at that time, she used the yin and yang pot cunningly, and the drink was actually all white water.

At this moment, she smiled at him, her clear phoenix eyes were covered with a hazy layer of water, and she begged for wine with anticipation.

She hadn't smiled like this in a long time, as if drinking really made her happy. Fu Lingyuan thought for a moment, pried the cap of the bottle and poured it for her, and then filled a cup for himself.

Neither spoke.

Ruan Shu drank wine and ate food.

Fu Lingyuan drank alcohol, smoked, and ate vegetables.

The bottle of liquor was in control of his hand. She couldn't drink too quickly and too quickly, and when she was done, she always reached out to him as she had done before.

He poured it for her depending on the situation.

She consciously put down her wine glass before she got it, and after eating the food for a while, she would reach out again.

In the end, a bottle of wine came to the bottom, and he drank three-fifths and she drank two-fifths.

Fu Lingyuan hadn't fully woken up from the wine he had drunk before, and Ruan Shu had added most of the previous bottles, which was also quite large, and the degree of this liquor was quite high.

However, both of them are good drinkers and are not drunk.

Fu Lingyuan didn't change much except that his eyes were redder.

Ruan Shu didn't even have a strong face for drinking, but the more he drank, the more energetic he became, and his eyes were very clear. It's just that the temperature in the house is slightly higher and a little hot.

Pulling her neckline, she asked, "Is there air conditioning?" ”

Fu Lingyuan spit out a blue-gray smoke ring: "The room type here is old. Not inhabited. ”

The implication is that there is none.

Ruan Shu nodded, indicating that he understood, stood up from the chair with his palms pressed on the table, and walked alone to the window to blow the wind.

There are aunts and uncles dancing square dances near the community, and the music is looming over, making her feel the breath of life here again. More than his villa and their new house in the green water mansion are more like the life of the market.

She listened boredly, trying to discern which hit the music was from, and before long she noticed a source of heat coming from her.

Didn't stick to her, and didn't stop his body temperature from flooding.

His arms were propped up on the windowsill around her sides, and a half-lit cigarette was still between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.

The two of them stood like this without saying a word.

After a while, Ruan Shu took the lead in breaking the silence: "This is where you and Lan Qin meet?" ”

"It's not." Fu Lingyuan replied crisply, "But we did meet here twice. ”

Ruan Shu searched for memories - the one she encountered was one of them, right? I remember that Fu Lingyuan was injured in the back at that time, and it stands to reason that she was not easy to rub medicine, but before she came, it was obvious that someone had already beaten him.

Fu Lingyuan's voice suddenly lowered by two points: "You once abandoned the cotton slippers because Lan Qin wore them, and came in barefoot" (see Chapter 56).

Ruan Shu was slightly stunned, pondered for dozens of seconds, and vaguely remembered that there did seem to be such a small detail, and he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips - it turned out that he had noticed ......

"Lan Qin is not your person." She rehashed the old story. Earlier, on the cruise ship, she had asked him, and he had already given her the answer.

Now he still gives the same answer: "No." ”

Not his people, and at the same time not enemies. Ruan Shu was now finally able to roughly sort out their relationship: Lan Qin didn't obey his dispatch, so he wasn't his person; They have the same goal, so they are not enemies. So similar to a partner?

Sensing that he raised his hand to smoke, she turned around and came face to face with him, and as he was about to exhale the smoke, she stood on tiptoe and put her hand on his lips.

He lowered his eyes to meet hers, his teeth knocking against hers, sending the smoke into her mouth.

Ruan Shu couldn't stand it before, but now that she hadn't done this for so long, she couldn't stand it even more, and she was immediately choked and coughed violently.

Fu Lingyuan patted her back, and she was happy.

In an instant, Ruan Shu's face was red with coughing, his eyes were a little steamy, and his body temperature rose sharply. Waving her palm to fan herself, she frowned: "There is no electric fan either?" ”

"Nope." Fu Lingyuan wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and made a pertinent suggestion, "Take a shower?" ”

Ruan Shu nodded.

Fu Lingyuan extinguished the cigarette butt on the windowsill and took her hand into the bathroom as a matter of course.

Even though it's hot, you can't take a cold shower. When Fu Lingyuan adjusted the temperature of the shower and turned around, Ruan Shu had already consciously wiped out his clothes.

"It's time to come here." Fu Lingyuan beckoned to her.

Ruan Shu walked into the shower room, and Chi Guo stood in front of him, standing under the shower.

The water temperature was comfortable, and the current drenched her head.

Fu Ling Yuanbang wiped a handful of water from her face.

Ruan Shu stared at him, and poked his unshaven face with his fingers: "When I entered the door, I wanted to tell you that you were very sloppy, and your body and body were very stinky." ”

When she pressed it to his lips, she remembered that he probably hadn't brushed his teeth yet.

"I know." Fu Lingyuan's eyes were blank, and as he spoke, he exchanged most of his own body and pants that had been soaked with water, "So wash it with you." ”

Ruan Shu moved back a little bit and gave him more space under the shower.

Fu Lingyuan didn't care about himself, let the water wash over his well-defined skin, he stretched out his hand to smooth her wet hair, then squeezed the shampoo, picked up her hair to wash her.

"Wait a minute." Ruan Shu pressed the pause button, walked out of the shower, and walked in again in an instant, with his shaving foam and razor in his hand.

Fu Lingyuan glanced at it, guessed her intentions, did not stop it, and concentrated on washing her hair.

Ruan Shu had no experience in shaving a man's beard, so he lathered him with his impression, and then held a razor in his hand and carefully shaved him.

He washed her head for as long as she shaved him.

He didn't have any special reaction during the whole process, Ruan Shu thought that his first practice was very successful, but when he washed off the foam on his chin, he found that he didn't shave particularly cleanly, and he scraped two cuts. Fortunately, the mouth was not deep, and there was no bloodshed.

Her shaving action was lifted, and Fu Lingyuan was able to continue to rub her shower gel.

Ruan Shu also squeezed the shower gel and wiped it on him.

It was quiet for a while. The two stood facing each other in silence and took a bath.

Although she couldn't see any lack of color for her from his look, her hand kept touching him and up, and he had a clear reaction.

"Stand still." Fu Lingyuan said lightly, grabbed her hand, and took it away from him.

Ruan Shu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly held his face, stared straight into his eyes through the curtain of water falling from the shower, and asked softly, "Lan Qin died for you, right?" ”

In the slaughterhouse, she heard Lu Shaocong mention what was not an inner ghost, and roughly understood that the reason why Lan Qin was tortured was because the transaction was sabotaged. She couldn't be clearer that it was Fu Lingyuan who really planned to use black and black in this transaction.

She didn't know the specific circumstances of the whole transaction, but it didn't prevent her from clarifying Lan Qin's relationship with this matter - Lan Qin became Fu Lingyuan's scapegoat.

She realized in hindsight that when Lan Qin took her out of the Lu Mansion and raced, what she said was meaningful, and she had probably made up her mind to bang him.

And it is obvious that his death of Lan Qin is not as calm as he showed on his face. Otherwise, what would he be doing here alone?

Ruan Shu guessed, so he asked deliberately. She admitted that her question was actually quite cruel, but otherwise, she would not have the effect of stabbing him furtherβ€”not only did he feel guilty about her, but he also felt guilty about Lan Qin......

It is precisely because of the special relationship between him and Lan Qin that even if Lan Qin did this kind of thing to her, he never directly taught Lan Qin, but only took the responsibility on himself.

She could feel that Lan Qin's actions had an impact on him.

Fu Lingyuan's hand that was pinching her ear was frozen, and his dark eyes stayed on her face for a moment, without answering.

Ruan Shumo rubbed his cheek, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him.

Fu Lingyuan's eyes were deep.

Ruan Shu put his arms around his neck and re-presented his warm fragrant nephrite.

Fu Lingyuan then tightened her waist, raised her body and pressed her against the wall, deepening the kiss.

But he was very restrained, and did not make any further moves, just kisses, as if pouring all the emotions accumulated during this time into this kiss.

Her tongue and head hurt very much, her tongue and roots were numb, and she felt like she was about to be strangled by him.

Repeatedly on the verge of suffocation, he repeatedly let go of her at the right time, and soon deprived her of breath again.

Gradually, he realized that her body was not in the worst state he had imagined, and his hand tried to wander.

Lying on the big boat in the bedroom, he was covered up, and each other's bodies were all water from the bathroom. The body temperature that had come down after taking a shower had already risen again in the unsteady breath and began to sweat.

It wasn't that he hadn't been gentle with her, but he had never been so gentle. Each move had to be carefully tested several times to fully confirm that she was physically and mentally accepted before moving on to the next step.

Everything fell into place.

Ruan Shu only shrank uncomfortably at the moment he was filled, and then Fu Lingyuan's endless pity and pity.

There have been so many times between them, but for the first time, the whole process was slow rhythm and movement, without fierce rushing, collision, and no change of patterns, only blending in the simplest and most singular way.

Several times Ruan Shu had to suspect that it was not him, but when he opened his eyes, he fell into his watery package.

Bright lights allow them to see each other clearly.

His heavy face was well-defined, prostrate above her, and the sweat of the bean was dripping, mixed with her sweat, and it was impossible to distinguish between you and me.

There was no sound in the room except for the burning breath of the two of them and the slight creak of the bed. He was silent, his lips pursed; She didn't say a word, trimming her eyebrows and frowning slightly. Quietly stare at each other, doing the most intimate things to feel each other.

Ruan Shu stretched out his finger and touched his lips: "Let's get a divorce." ”

Fu Lingyuan's body was stagnant for a moment, but it was only for a moment, and the action continued.

Ruan Shu's fingers ran from his lips to his eyebrows, tracing the shape along the perimeter: "Go and concentrate on what you want to do, achieve your ambitions, and fulfill your dreams." ”

Fu Lingyuan looked at her deeply.

"Don't let Lan Qin die in vain, don't let me suffer those sins in vain." Ruan Shumann voiced, spread out his palms, covering his pupils, "Please let yourself relax, and let me be free......"

After the words fell, Fu Lingyuan was silent for four or five seconds, leaned down, and kissed her: "Well......"

This time he was answering her earnestly. Probably the divorce process dragged on too long and was too twists and turns, and at this moment, he finally got the result he wanted, and Ruan Shu's mood was extremely calm.

With her eyes closed, she wrapped her neck around him, devoting herself to the last entanglement of her lips and tongue, and soon after, to each other in the deepest, deepest part of her body.

……

When he noticed the movement of the people next to him, Fu Lingyuan opened his eyes slightly.

There was only a slit in the curtains in the room, which leaked the faint light of the sky outside, allowing her to shine through her hair-draped back and slender figure. She sat on the edge of the bed with her head bowed as if looking for slippers, quickly got up and left quietly.

He listened.

Hearing her walk to the next room, she remembered that there was a spare piece of women's clothing in the next room.

Suddenly, her stumbling footsteps came out again, farther and farther away, too far for him to hear, until the aftershocks of the outermost iron door had subsided, and the whole house fell silent.

Fu Lingyuan turned over and lay down to the side.

There is still her body temperature, her aroma left on it.

……

On a summer morning, the sky is as bright as eight or nine in winter.

People in the community who get up early for morning exercises, get up early to walk the dog, and get up early to buy groceries have started a new day.

Ruan Shu walked unfamiliarly through them, slowly walked out of the gate, and walked along the side of the road.

The noise in her ears was getting more and more lively, and it seemed to be far away, and it seemed very close, but she didn't care.

Until someone on the side suddenly grabbed her arm: "Oh, little girl, you didn't see the red light?" ”

Ruan Shu shook back to his senses, and the face of a strange middle-aged aunt was full of concern.

Glancing at the vehicles coming and going, Ruan Shu turned his head and smiled at the aunt: "Thank you." I'm finally divorced. ”

The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then her expression was strange, and her eyes became as if she was looking at a neurotic.
