53. Run into the light
οΌοΌ
I said, "Mom, children can't be conceived if they want to, we have done everything we need to do, and this kind of thing can't be controlled, right?" β
The old lady said with some reproach in her eyes: "I'm afraid that you don't care, how long has it been?" Haven't moved yet? Why don't you and Qingchuan go to the hospital for a check-up and see what the hell is going on. β
I was a little speechless and said, "I promised you that it won't change, as for the child's face, this kind of thing depends on God's face, don't worry." β
I glanced at the time in my hand and said, "Okay, I'll go back first." β
I got up to leave, but when my mother saw this, she pulled me and said, "Well, why do you have to leave when you have just come?" β
I said, "Something else." β
I subconsciously glanced at the door of the ward, but fortunately I didn't see Lu Ming, Jin Ma didn't go to the ward again, she should have gone out, I was afraid that Jin Ma would run into Lu Ming when she came back.
Then he hurriedly said to my mother: "I'll go first, you can watch TV, and I'll come to see you another day." β
My mom wanted to say something, but I was already out of the ward.
She shut up and went to watch the eight o'clock dog blood drama again.
After I came out, I looked around, I didn't see Lu Ming, I thought he was gone, I was a little glad in my heart, when I pressed the elevator to leave, the haunting Lu Ming appeared behind me again, he whispered: "Don't you call me?" β
I was startled, and immediately turned around to see him standing behind me, his face sullen, obviously I had just sneaked away from him, which made him very unhappy.
I explained, "No, I looked for you and didn't see you. β
At this time, the elevator opened, and I walked in, and Lu Ming didn't say anything to explain to me, and walked in with me.
Fortunately, going down, there were more and more people coming up from the elevator, Lu Ming and I were not alone in the elevator, and after a hug, I stood there and asked: "Are you ......" I thought about it and said: "I'm going home." β
But he said in a muffled voice, 'I haven't eaten yet, and I've been waiting for you all morning.' β
I said, "How do you know I'm coming here today?" β
I asked again, "Chen Lina told you that?" β
He didn't deny it.
I knew that Chen Lina was a traitor, she was just a wall grass, and she didn't stand on either side.
Lu Ming said again at this time: "Come with me to lunch." There was even a hint of pleading in his tone.
He was like this, but I didn't know how to refuse, and I stared down at my toes.
I was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." β
Lu Ming smiled, and he said with happiness in his voice, "Let's go." So he went outside first.
I stared at his back, and suddenly felt that he seemed to be the same Lu Ming as before.
I followed him.
He went to drive, I waited in front of the hospital, and when the car arrived in front of me, he lowered the window and I pulled the door and got in the car.
Once I was seated, the car quickly left the hospital.
Lu Ming drove me around on the main road in City A, and while driving, he asked me, "What do you want to eat?" β
I sat there quietly and said to him, "Didn't you skip breakfast?" β
Lu Ming looked ahead and said, "You have to eat with me." β
I said, "I can do it all." β
Lu Ming said: "Then go to the house we used to go to often." β
Me: "Hmm. "Yes.
The car eventually stopped at a duck blood vermicelli soup that we used to go to in college.
The proprietress there even knew us, and when she saw us walking in together, she looked at us with a smile and asked, "Two bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup?" Without chives and coriander? β
Lu Ming saw that the proprietress didn't need to ask, and directly said our preference, and he also smiled and said, "Yes, two bowls, one bowl of large and one bowl of small portions." β
The dΓ©cor here is still the same as before, and from time to time a few people come in and sit there eating duck blood powder.
After Lu Ming and I sat down, the proprietress talked to us while wearing powder: "You haven't been to our store for many years, right?" β
I drank hot water there and smiled and asked, "Do you remember us?" β
The proprietress smiled and said, "Of course, you used to come here in school uniforms, but in my case, I ate from high school to college. Pointing to where we are now sitting, she says, "Every time I come back, I love to sit here against the wall." β
I didn't expect the proprietress to remember it so clearly, so I smiled a little embarrassed.
While talking, the proprietress scalded the powder, then brought it to us, put it on the table and asked, "Are you married now?" β
As soon as these words came out, I went to get the chopsticks for a while, and just about to answer, the proprietress said: "I thought I would never see you again after graduation, but I didn't expect you and your husband to come to us again." β
I wanted to explain something, but Lu Ming said to the aunt: "Today is on vacation, I just want to eat, so I came over together." β
The proprietress smiled and said, "Okay, you can eat, it's hot to eat." β
Lu Ming said thank you, and the proprietress didn't talk to us anymore, because another guest entered the store.
The hot duck blood vermicelli soup was placed in front of me, steaming with a thick steam, and the hot air swept the fragrance straight to my nose, I was a little full, but I didn't know that I smelled the fragrance, and I was a little hungry.
Lu Ming saw that I was staring at it and didn't move, so he smiled and said, "Eat it, it's not delicious when it's cold." β
I grabbed my chopsticks and started there.
Lu Ming was also very hungry, the two of them didn't say anything, just buried their heads in eating the bowl of vermicelli soup, Lu Ming ate quickly, and when I didn't finish half of the bowl of vermicelli soup, he had already solved most of it.
As he ate, he said, "When I was in France, the food I missed was the vermicelli soup in this restaurant, but in the past three years, I have searched all over France, and I have never eaten authentic food." He thought of something, and asked, "What about you?" Have you been here since? β
I shook my head and said, "It's too far away, I rarely come here again." β
Lu Ming said: "That's right, you have to cross half of City A here." β
Actually, I didn't tell him, I came, I came once a day in half a month when he went to France, and I also sat in this position that day, and I ordered a small portion of duck blood vermicelli soup by myself, and cried while eating, and the proprietress behind me was startled and came to ask me what was wrong.
I didn't answer her, and I stubbornly ate the bowl of vermicelli soup alone, without even leaving the soup, and finally put down the money on the table and left in a hurry.
Every time I passed by here, I didn't dare to enter this shop again, because as soon as I walked inside, all the memories were surging there, and I was afraid, terrified.
Lu Ming and I continued to eat, and after eating a bowl of noodles, the two of us even drank the soup, and there was no bite left.
We looked at each other, our eyes full of satisfaction, and we put down our bowls at the same time.
Lu Ming asked, "Do you want another bowl?" β
I immediately shook my head and said, "I'm full." β
Lu Ming smiled, then paid the bill, and led me out.
He didn't take me to the car, but took me around the street.
In the past, after we ate vermicelli soup here, we had to walk around here to digest it.
Although it was very cold outside, I didn't know that looking at Lu Ming who was walking in front, I felt warm in my heart, so I quietly followed him and walked forward.
The two of us didn't speak, walking in the crowd one after the other, and not many people looked at us, like an ordinary and inconspicuous couple.
After Lu Ming walked to a stall where he bought rock sugar gourds, he stopped, then looked at me who was following him and asked, "Do you want a bunch?" β
I stared at it for a long time, hesitated for a few seconds, and he didn't wait for me to nod, so he directly paid the boss and asked him to give two strings of sugar gourds.
He gave me another bunch, and I stared at the fruit wrapped in brown sugar, and I opened my mouth to take a bite, and it crunchy, and the sugar cubes instantly fell on the tip of my tongue, and the sweet taste spread in my mouth.
He smiled and asked, "Is it delicious?" β
I nodded vigorously and said, "It's delicious, it's still the same taste." β
Lu Ming said proudly: "Of course, nothing has changed here. β
He walked ahead again, and I followed him with the sugar gourd, but the wind was so strong that my hair fluttered in the wind, and my hair even stuck to the sugar gourd.
Lu Ming looked back and saw that I was hurriedly pulling my hair there, he smiled, and suddenly reached out and put the hat on the back of my head and put it on my head and said, "Stupid, just press it with your hat." β
Sure enough, the flying hair was stabilized by the hat in an instant, and the face was warmed.
I smiled at him and said, "You're stupid." β
He paid no attention to him, and took a sugar gourd in his mouth and ate it.
Lu Ming suddenly reached out and grabbed my hand again, I stiffened, then looked up at him, he clenched my hand and put it in his pocket and said, "It's so warm, you can just hold a rock sugar gourd in one hand." β
I don't know why, I don't want to resist, I know that in such a crowded street, we are easy to be recognized, and even cause serious consequences, but today, I want to be desperate for a while, just this day, just one day.
Let's go back to the past, even if it doesn't come back.
I smiled and held him as well, and the two of them walked forward while eating the sugar gourd, aimlessly, wherever they went.
We walked all afternoon, and when we arrived at four o'clock, Lu Ming took me to a park to rest, and the two of us sat there watching the sunset, and he drank his temper on the side.
I also had a can in my hand.
Lu Ming said: "In ten days, I will get married." β
Hearing him say this, I didn't say anything, but the chair I was in subconsciously hugged myself tightly.
Lu Ming turned his head to look at me and said, "Don't you ask me why I agreed to marry Xie Yishuang?" β
I shook my head and whispered, "I don't want to hear it." β
He laughed out loud and continued to drink there, and after a sip, he looked at the sunset again and said, "I want to give us another chance, if you will come with me on the wedding day, we will leave here forever." β
When I heard him, I turned my head to look at him.
"No kidding, I'm serious," he said. β
I wanted to tell him that it was impossible, but when the words came to my lips, I fell silent, took a small sip of wine, and did not speak.
At this time, the mobile phone in my bag rang again, and I knew who called, but I didn't take it, and I didn't plan to answer it, I just sat there quietly, as if I didn't hear it.
Lu Ming didn't pay attention to the phone call.
The bell kept ringing, and I don't know how long, but when the bell finally stopped, he pinched the empty beer bottle in his hand and asked me, "Can I not go back tonight?" β
I said, "I'm going back." β
Three words, incomparably clear.
Lu Ming didn't ask again, his face was a little sad in the setting sun.
In this way, we sat from sunset until night fell completely.
The phone in my phone rang over and over again, and finally it automatically cut off.
I glanced at the sky and said, "I'm going back." β
We've drunk all the wine, cans and bottles all over the place.
Lu Ming didn't know if he was asleep, so he sat next to me and kept his head down, and there was no movement.
I looked at him and whispered, "Lu Ming? I tapped his arm with my hand.
He moved twice, looked sideways at me, obviously a little drunk, rubbed his eyes, and asked in an urn voice, "What's wrong?" β
I said, "I'm going back." β
He said, "Wait." β
I shook my head and said, "No, I'm going back." β
Again, he said, "Wait." β
I was about to speak, but just as I was about to open my mouth, I found that Lu Ming's eyes were red, and there was a faint light in them.
All my words stuck in my throat and I couldn't open my mouth anymore.
Lu Ming looked at me, looked at me fixedly, he suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged me into his arms, his face buried in my shoulder, I felt that hot tears penetrated into my clothes, down my skin as if to flow into my heart.
I didn't speak, and neither did he.
I subconsciously raised my hand and hugged him.
The cold wind was still raging, and the sky was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was about to collapse and suppress people, and thunder and lightning had begun to thunder and lightning in the sky.
I was a little scared, and hugged Lu Ming tighter and tighter.
Before a heavy rain was about to come, Lu Ming let go of me, then grabbed my bag and dragged me to run wildly in the night.
I followed in his footsteps and listened to his haste breath.
Heavy rain poured down.
Lu Ming called in the heavy rain: "Xu Kaiyan." β
I answered behind him.
He said, "I love you. β
I said, "I know." β
He turned back and asked, "What about you?" β
The heavy rain washed over my face, and I didn't feel cold at all, only the hot water boiling, and I even felt like crying.
Lu Ming didn't wait for me to answer, and still dragged me forward.
There was no end to the darkness ahead, and he led me as if he were about to run into the light.
It was late when I got home, it was close to eleven o'clock.
The whole villa was brightly lit, and my aunt was walking around the gate, and it was still raining heavily, and I was soaking wet, and I stood in front of the gate.
My aunt hadn't noticed me standing there, but she turned around and swept towards me, as if she felt a bit like a figure.
She squinted her eyes slightly and asked in a low voice, "Little, Miss?" β
She was a little unsure, because there was no light where I was standing, only a vague shadow could be seen.
But after she called out the young lady, the bag in my hand fell off the tips of my fingers.
My aunt instantly confirmed that it was really me, and she immediately shouted into the hall: "Sir! Mr! Mrs. is back! β
As soon as Auntie's words fell, Chen Qingchuan hurriedly walked out of the hall, and he also saw me standing in the rainy night at a glance, just as Yuling was about to go back to get the umbrella, Chen Qingchuan rushed out from the class.
Grabbing me standing in the heavy rain, he looked at me with a tense face.
At this time, I was no longer human, my face was frozen white by the cold rain, and my body didn't feel much.
When Yuling came down with the umbrella, Chen Qingchuan didn't say a word, just grabbed the umbrella and took me towards the house.
Yuling and Auntie didn't know what was going on and quickly followed.
When I arrived at the house, Chen Qingchuan put his arm around me and said to my aunt who was following me, "Go and prepare hot water and clean clothes." β
Auntie had never seen Chen Qingchuan's face so ugly, so she immediately said, "Okay." He hurried upstairs.
Chen Qingchuan took me upstairs, my body didn't have much strength, my whole body was wet with rain, my whole body was shivering, my whole body was carried forward by Chen Qingchuan, my legs were extremely weak, and I almost tripped several times.
However, because the weight of the body was all supported by Chen Qingchuan, the body was almost carried forward by him.
When I arrived at the bathroom, my aunt just put the hot water away, and my aunt took me to the bathroom quickly after taking the wet me, peeling off the wet clothes for me, and then soaking me in the bathtub.
I felt my body regain consciousness little by little, and I hugged the whole person and sank into the warm water.
When the aunt saw that Chen Qingchuan was still standing there, she said to him, "Sir, I have me here." β
Chen Qingchuan stood there and watched for a few seconds, mumbled, didn't say much, and turned around from the bathroom to leave.
My aunt closed the door, and when she saw that my lips were purple from the cold, she muttered, "Where have you been, I didn't answer your call, don't you know that my husband almost called the police?" We thought something had happened to you, but it scared people to death. β
I didn't speak, just sat in silence in the water, feeling the warm water constantly sliding over my skin.
The aunt said again: "You don't know that Mr. didn't even eat dinner today in order to wait for you, and until now, he just didn't go to the police station to file a case." β
I didn't want to listen to my aunt's nagging, so I sank my long face into the water, and my aunt was startled, and immediately dragged me out and said, "Miss! What are you doing! β
I ignored her and sat there with my eyes closed.
After taking a shower, my aunt dressed me and wrapped a quilt directly around me.
But as soon as I got out of the bathroom, there were a lot of people sitting in it, Yuling and Dingkun were all there in the middle of the night, and their eyes were all looking at me.
And Chen Qingchuan sat on the sofa with his head bowed and smoked.
At this time, Yuling walked up and asked, "Miss, shouldn't you explain where you went tonight?" β
Halfway through the bath just now, my aunt forgot about it, so she said, "Yes! Miss! Where have you been tonight? Why doesn't anyone answer the phone? β
Yuling couldn't wait for me to answer, so she turned around and picked up my wet bag from the door, she took out the phone from the bag, and then pressed the power button, but the phone couldn't be turned on.
It's useless to start it, it should be out of power.
Yuling turned to look at me again: "Do you know it's scary for you to disappear without saying a word?" So many of us were so scared in the middle of the night that we almost didn't go to the police! β
Yuling looked at me coldly.
The aunt was also very anxious, so she said, "Madam! Tell me what's going on! How did you come back like this! β
Just as the two of them were forcing me, Chen Qingchuan, who was sitting there smoking, whispered: "No need to ask, since the person is back, you can go back." β
Yuling and Auntie all looked sideways at Chen Qingchuan.
But Yuling is willing, she said: "Qingchuan, this is not a trivial matter, she has been missing for so long, she must have an explanation, what if something happens?" β
Chen Qingchuan was not polite to Yuling for the first time, but twisted his eyebrows and said, "It's late now, it's not suitable to ask, go back." β
He snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, then got up from the sofa and said, "Auntie, send Sister Yuling downstairs." β
Seeing that Chen Qingchuan's eyebrows were displeased, the aunt didn't dare to rub it off, so she hurriedly nodded and said to Yuling on the side: "Secretary Yu, I'll send you down." β
Yuling was so angry that she couldn't do it for a long time, so she had to sigh and say: "You can figure out your affairs yourself, but Qingchuan, I have to remind you that the disappearance for half a day is not a trivial matter, it is best to ask clearly." β
Chen Qingchuan's face was silent.
Yuling didn't want to ask much, so she turned around and walked out of the room.
As soon as Yuling left, because it was too late, Dingkun naturally couldn't stay longer, so he said a few words of farewell and left.
There was only me and Chen Qingchuan left in the room, I thought he would ask me where I was going today, but I didn't expect him to stand in front of me for a long time, but he only said: "Let's go to bed first, it's late." β
With that, he untied his tie and walked towards the closet.
And I stood there without moving.
It wasn't until he changed his clothes and looked at me again, and when he saw that I was standing there motionless, he asked, "What's wrong?" Still have questions? β
I moved twice and shook my head and said, "No problem. I walked towards the end of the bed, I lay down on the bed, and Chen Qingchuan went to the bathroom.
He looked calm, calm, unexpectedly calm.
I lay quietly on the bed.
There was the sound of water in the bathroom, and I was lying there with my eyes closed.
After Chen Qingchuan came out of the bathroom, he lowered the curtains to block the sound of rain outside.
When he saw me lying on the bed with my eyes open, he asked, "I've turned off the lights." β
I hummed quietly, and he reached for the wall and flipped the switch, and the room was dark.
Only the two bedside lamps at the head of the bed are still on.
Chen Qingchuan walked towards the bed, he didn't read tonight, but directly turned off the bedside lamp, and then lay down next to me.
He was lying next to me and I was lying beside him.
He lay there with his eyes closed.
I stared at him sideways for a long time and asked, "Don't you ask?" β
Chen Qingchuan didn't open his eyes, but still closed his eyes and whispered, "What to ask." β
His tone was so light that he could barely hear the emotion.
I fell silent, and subconsciously hugged the quilt in my arms again.
After a while, I said, "I'm sorry, I got lost when I went down today, so I got home late." β
I knew very well in my heart how careless this lie was, and I knew he wouldn't believe it, but I at least explained.
For my explanation, Chen Qingchuan lay there and frowned slightly, and his voice was slightly deep: "Don't go home so late in the future, you will be worried." β
