Chapter 21: Know His Heart
Somehow, the safe passages creaked shut.
Seeing this, Mencius immediately showed a vigilant expression and then bounced a few steps away from him, "The surname is Lu, there is something to say, don't be rude, no, I don't seem to have done anything bad to you!" β
Lu Xingchen sighed helplessly, and then leaned against the wall, with his hands in his trouser pockets, his temperament was compelling, but Mencius felt that the posture was too sultry, and it was her somewhat not very calm heart.
When Mencius saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, he leaned against the wall as he did, but the wall opposite him, "I have a great joy for you!" β
Lu Xingchen raised his eyes to look at her, she smiled brightly, and a little silly, she looked too beautiful, and he wanted to have this beauty, just from the distance in front of him, "Your happy event?" I only know that there are three happy events in life, the title of the gold list, the flower candle in the cave room and the old acquaintance in another country. β
This distance also made Mencius unable to see his Zhan Zhan gaze, and she was a little unconvinced, "Except for the last two, the first one, I'm also fast, okay!" β
"So, it's your dream to get ahead!" Lu Xingchen teased her a little.
Mencius touched his chin and thought for a while, and sighed seriously, "There is a movie that says that people without dreams are no different from salted fish, which is too right, because salted fish can never turn over!" β
Lu Xingchen laughed out loud, "So, in order not to be salted fish, you signed the contract?" β
"You know it all! I said, why did I just sign the contract on the front foot, and you came on the back foot, Xiaoli is really competent! β
"Speak well, what ears and eyes? He told me that it was only for you, after all, in a way, I can be regarded as your guardian, and if something happens, I will help you carry it! β
"I'm not a minor, I'm still a guardian!"
"You know that's not what I mean!" He said suddenly, with some seriousness.
Mencius was immediately stunned, and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I admit my mistake, don't worry, I will protect myself." β
Lu Xingchen smiled knowingly, and wanted to walk over to her.
At this time, a call came, "I guessed right, there is really someone behind this supermarket, but even so, the report that should be reported, the official business should be done, you know, I hate this kind of injustice the most!" β
In this small corridor, Mencius naturally heard what he said, and saw that he was a little indignant, and couldn't help but be taken aback, and he had never been like this before.
So, she was going to walk over and ask clearly, and when she was about to walk up to him, she somehow mixed herself up, and the whole person threw herself directly into his arms, this gravity made him snort, he frowned at her, she smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry!" β
When he was about to get up, he was grabbed by his waist with his left hand, he put down his phone, and said to her playfully, "Since it's a hug, don't be in a hurry to go!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Mencius reflexively stepped on him.
It hurt so much that he had to let go of his hand, and she sat down on the stairs with a smug smile.
He smiled helplessly as he watched her, and after hanging up the phone, he noticed that the laces on her feet were loose.
So, he slowly walked over and squatted down, she was a little stunned, until he helped her tie her shoes, "No wonder she falls!" She came back to her senses and looked at him with his head down, careful and gentle, and couldn't help but think of the sentence "the most gentle is the one who bows his head".
How does this tenderness make her feel a throbbing of love, but she doesn't know what true love is?
It was probably a little stuffy in the hallway, and she noticed a bead of sweat on his sideburns, a tiny one, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to wipe it off for him, and when her fingertips touched his skin, he was only slightly stunned, but still quietly helped her tie her shoes.
She, has she opened her mind?
Every day that followed, Mencius lived a full and busy life, in addition to being busy shooting commercials, he also had to open live broadcasts every night to interact with fans.
And not only was she and Lu Xingchen not affected, but they had more time to get along.
Every morning they would get up early together to take care of the flowers and plants, especially those orchids, he was always very careful, sometimes she would notice a faint sadness in his eyes, but he didn't take the initiative to mention it, so she didn't ask.
After breakfast, we go to work together, as for lunch, sometimes the two of them are very busy and don't have time to go back to the apartment to cook, she will order takeout online and take it directly to his office to eat together, this trick makes him very helpless, and occasionally he will take her out to eat, so that she can feast.
In addition, after the live broadcast at night, she would go to his study to stay with him until late, she would tell him some interesting things about shooting during the day, and he would popularize some legal knowledge with her, sometimes he would be busy until late, he always asked her to rest first, and later, he had to advance the rest time, and after she went back to the room to sleep, he continued to be busy until late at night.
Mencius knew that some subtle changes were already taking place between her and him, and this change immersed her, as for Lu Xingchen, of course he also knew that she was slowly approaching him, and he would give her the long-term affection she wanted, so he had to stay put.
A month later.
On this day, Mencius was shooting advertisements as usual, or shooting on location, in a well-known park in the center of S City.
The weather was exceptionally good on this day, so good that there was an illusion of a bright sun, although it was only the middle of May, but near noon, the light was still unusually strong and uncomfortably hot.
No, Mencius, who was waiting for the shooting under the awning, also felt a little uncomfortable, and this discomfort has lasted from the morning to the present, and it is not the discomfort of a cold and fever, in short, she has never felt this way.
At this time, Mo Shushu walked in, saw her strange appearance, and asked anxiously, "Mencius, are you uncomfortable?" Your face looks pale, why don't you pause filming and go back to rest! β
Mencius shook his head, "No need, there is one shot left, go back after filming, you can't let so many people run away for nothing because of me!" β
"But you..." Before Mo Shushu could finish speaking, she immediately got up and pretended to smile easily, "Look, I'm not doing well!" I'm not that delicate, let's go! Mencius came over and grabbed his arm, and then walked out of the awning, and Mo Shushu looked at her somewhat strong steps, and his face was worried.
When filming officially began, Mencius was standing on the lawn, his face facing the sun, and the intensity of the light made her squint her eyes for a while, and when she opened it again, she saw Mo Shushu walking towards him with a smile.
But her vision seemed to be blurring more and more, and a heavy feeling of tiredness came over her, and her head gradually felt heavy, and her feet felt light.
At this time, she only felt that her mouth was dry and extremely uncomfortable, and suddenly, her eyes went black and she collapsed.
Mo Shushu stepped forward to support her in time at the moment when Mencius fell, and saw her fall into his arms unconsciously, so anxious that he called her name a few times, and seeing that she did not respond, he immediately picked her up and walked in the direction of the parking lot, and the staff at the scene stepped forward to help.
When Lu Xingchen rushed to the hospital, Mencius had already woken up, he pushed the door a little lightly with his hands and feet, she was sitting on the hospital bed with her back to him, he saw her hanging her head, wearing a hospital gown, loose, making her back look even thinner, his eyebrows were full of distress, and when he was about to walk over, she spoke, and was a little urgent, "Lu Xingchen, don't come here!" β
Lu Xingchen looked slightly stunned, his footsteps paused again, and he had to stand in place, this angle made him unable to see any expression on her face, which made him inexplicably restless, but he still spoke calmly, "Okay." β
She seemed to hesitate for a moment, "I... I'd like to discuss with you... One thing! β
He could hear her speak with some difficulty, her face sank, she looked at her back, and replied calmly again, "Okay." β
Mencius raised his head slightly and took a deep breath, "I... I... I think... Take... Take... Fall... Childβ" she said, lowering her head.
Lu Xingchen's eyes were shocked.
When Li Shengnan called him, he only said that she fainted on the set, and he was in a meeting at the time, and he rushed over immediately after hearing it.
Along the way, he was thinking about the reason why she fainted, maybe it was because of the sudden high-intensity work recently, and she only slept for a few hours at night, and she didn't rest well, but he never thought that it was the reason for pregnancy.
This immediately made his mind go back to that night more than a month ago, and at this moment, he was simply confused, but more about the loss and incomprehension that she was going to take the child.
He tried to calm his mind a bit, "Have you thought about it?" β
Mencius's back was stunned, and he shook his head again and again, looking very sure.
His eyes darkened slightly, and his tone was slightly cold, "Since you've thought about it, why do you still have to discuss with me, you want to be the executioner yourself, and you still have to pull me on your back!" β
I don't know if it was his sudden gloom that frightened her or the content of his words, in short, after Mencius heard it, his body curled up inexplicably, and he said with a little trepidation, "Child... You're not... Do you have a share of it? β
Lu Xingchen looked at her curled back, and felt very unbearable, but he was annoyed, annoyed that she could treat him like this? But he couldn't be angry with her, after all, he was also responsible, and thinking that she was still young and simple and carefree, and suddenly became pregnant, it was still unexpected, and it was difficult for anyone to accept it after knowing it, let alone her, the anger in his heart eased a little.
He said a little helplessly, "I thought that after this period of getting along, you already had an idea about me, it seems that I am deceiving myself, if you really understand my mind and accept my mind, then you will probably also love the unexpected child of Wu and Wu, but now it seems that this is not the case, since we can't talk about affection between us, let alone this child, you want to take it!" β
Mencius's back twitched, and she couldn't help it.
She jerked herself up and turned to look at him, her eyes blurred with tears.
"I just understand your mind, accept your mind, I don't want this child, I haven't been in love, I don't know what real love is, but I think love is pure, no impurities, I want to be with you, without burden, but when I know the existence of this child, I am afraid, afraid that you are only with me out of responsibility, what is the point of being together like that!"
A hint of epiphany flashed in Lu Xingchen's eyes, why didn't he think of the reason for "being responsible", probably because she had already made him mess up and lost the direction of thinking!
He walked towards her silently, approaching a little slowly, "If I am with you out of responsibility, then why do I have to keep you by my side so well-intentioned, why don't you want to think about this accident, I may have tried something against you, although this damn 'accident' happened, but I still have the same original intention, what I want in my heart has always been only you, nothing else matters, but no matter what, the child is innocent, he is a life, how can there be a reason to kill innocents indiscriminately!" β
