20. Three years

He stopped talking, just squeezed my hand tightly, and the car drove faster and faster.

At three o'clock in the morning, when our plane landed in City C, Lu Ming led me out of the airport and walked on an empty and unfamiliar street.

Lu Ming took me to a hotel near the airport, he opened a room, led me in, and directly reached out to hug me.

It hugged me so tightly that I was a little out of breath.

I didn't struggle, I didn't resist, I let him hold me like this.

It's been three years, we haven't seen each other for three years, and this long-lost embrace makes me a little dizzy.

After Lu Ming let go of me, he covered my face with his hand and said, "Leave him and follow me." ”

With tears in my eyes, I asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Anywhere," he said. ”

I leaned into his arms with my eyes closed.

It was too cold, and I shivered in Lu Ming's arms, I didn't know if I was scared or if I was running around outside for so long.

Lu Ming felt it, quickly took off my coat, took me to the bed to lie down, and then wrapped me tightly with the quilt.

When he got up to leave, I took his hand.

He said, "Don't be afraid, I'll go and pour you a cup of hot water." ”

That's when I nodded.

Lu Ming went to boil water, but there was a low sound on the bedside table, the bell made my scalp tingle, it was so late, it was three o'clock in the morning, I didn't dare to see who called.

It could be my mother, or it could be Chen Qingchuan.

Lu Ming, who was boiling water not far away, also heard it, and he looked back.

Seeing that I was a little scared wrapped up in myself, he put down the kettle in his hand, walked towards me, picked up the mobile phone on the table, pressed it and turned it off, and then threw the mobile phone in the trash.

After Lu Ming fed me hot water, I felt warmer and less scared.

He lay beside me, holding me through the quilt, the room was quiet, so quiet that I could only hear the two of us breathing, I stared at his face, repeatedly confirmed that it was him, and only dared to close my eyes beside him and gradually fell asleep.

By the next morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door.

My first instinct was to sit up from my bed and stare at the closed door.

Lu Ming didn't know when he had gotten up, he was preparing breakfast there, he also looked at the door, but he was not as nervous as me, but walked towards the door, and asked outside through the door: "Who?" ”

The knocker outside said, "Clean." ”

Lu Ming replied: "No." ”

He didn't stop at the door, but then he came up to me, and when he saw that my face was pale, he reassured me and said, "Don't be afraid, there will be no problem." ”

He pulled me up from the bed: "Go wash up first, let's finish breakfast and leave." ”

I shook twice and immediately asked, "Where to go?" ”

"France," he said. ”

My body shook even more, and he felt it,

I said, "I can't." ”

Lu Ming frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

I didn't say anything because I didn't know how to answer him.

Lu Ming asked, "You can't let him go?" ”

I looked at him.

He said, "Am I wrong?" Three years ago you didn't dare to go with me, and three years later, you still don't dare to go with me. ”

"It's none of his business."

Yes, it really has nothing to do with him, I can't leave my mother, I couldn't before, I can't now, last night's impulsiveness, to this morning sane but sober back in place.

"We're not thirteen or fourteen years old anymore, and everybody knows what it means when we take that step."

I turned around and quickly grabbed my clothes from the bed and put them on, and then I was about to leave.

Lu Ming pulled me back from behind, and he asked, "This is still your choice, right?" ”

His gaze pressed me, the wound in his eyes was exactly the same as three years ago, and many times in my dreams, I wondered what would have happened if I had gone with him without hesitation on that night three years ago?

I didn't expect that three years later, there would be another similar opportunity in front of me again, I thought that this time I would choose to go with him without hesitation, but I didn't expect that I was wrong, I still didn't dare, I didn't dare to take that step.

Lu Ming saw that I was silent, he sneered, he knew my choice, he didn't say anything, let go of my hand and went to the balcony to smoke.

I don't know how long he smoked that cigarette, but he pushed the door open again and walked in, and said to me, who was still standing in the doorway, "I'll send you." ”

Once again, he compromised my choice.

He took my hand again and led me outside, but our door opened, and there was a person standing outside, it was Chen Qingchuan.

I subconsciously stepped back, Lu Ming didn't expect Chen Qingchuan to be standing outside the door, it's only eight o'clock now, when did he arrive.

Lu Ming also subconsciously stepped back.

Chen Qingchuan stood there wearing a light-colored shirt, he has always been a person who pays attention to appearance, whether it is hair or clothes, he is always clean and meticulous.

But at this time, his shirt was full of wrinkles, his hair was slightly messy, his expression was not very good, and his eyes fell on the hands we were holding each other.

I subconsciously wanted to break free of Lu Ming's hand, but Lu Ming didn't let go, but clenched it tighter, as if demonstrating in front of Chen Qingchuan.

Chen Qingchuan's eyes were sharp, completely different from his usual gentleness, he looked at us for a long time, and didn't say anything to Lu Ming, but looked at me, his voice was still peaceful: "It's time to go home." ”

He stretched out his cold hand and grabbed my wrist and pulled me directly from Lu Ming's side.

Lu Ming just wanted to drag me again, Chen Qingchuan suddenly turned around and smashed Lu Ming's face directly with a punch, Lu Ming didn't even react, he was smashed by Chen Qingchuan's punch on the door, his body hit the door, and there was a loud noise.

Chen Qingchuan didn't have the slightest expression on his face, he dragged me to stand there, and said to Lu Ming who was hitting the door: "It's been three years, I've put up with you for three years, Lu Ming." ”

Many of the surrounding residents heard the noise and came out to watch, but he didn't care, just took me in his arms and continued to walk forward with me.

After Lu Mingcong stood firm against the door, he raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and he sneered and said, "I'm afraid, you put up with me for more than three years." ”
