Chapter 25: Zhou Yiran's Death
Xu Xunran in the dream, or the 20-year-old wish, felt for the first time that someone regarded her as a treasure and held her in the palm of her hand.
She wanted to hold Zhou Yiran and said, I wanted to say a promise, I will always be by your side. But dreams are dreams after all.
The moment the slender fingers touched him, Zhou Yiran dissipated like smoke and disappeared with the wind. She lunged over and tried to grab it, but eventually he disappeared.
At this point, the picture takes a sharp turn. Under the scorching sun, she stood at the corner of the street with her eyebrows twisted, she had been waiting for a full 3 hours for the date she was looking forward to, and Zhou Yiran's phone call never got through!
Xu Xunran was a little anxious, and she was sweating from the scorching sun. The phone rang. He's calling!
"Hello? I'm sorry, but I'm here with a cake. Zhou Yiran on the phone explained breathlessly.
She was on fire, yelling into the phone,
"So is Zhou! I command you to show up now! ”
"Yes, baby."
"Hurry up!"
"Then you turn backwards." She frowned, turned around and saw the boy bathed in the sun holding a mousse cake in his hand, with pink packaging, which was Xu Xunran's favorite bear shop.
"Hey, you're going too far. Arrived a full 3 hours late, did you go to cheat on you! She pointed to her watch and walked towards the middle of the road.
Zhou Yiran's eyes suddenly tightened, and he exclaimed: "Be careful! "A big truck crossed the red light district, the brakes failed and crashed into it, heading straight for Xu Xunran!
He threw away the cake in his hand, flew over, and hugged her tightly, but unfortunately, another motorcycle rushed over, forcing him to push Xu Xunran away for a moment!
Xu Xunran was slammed to the left guardrail, and the back of his head was bleeding non-stop, and he fainted immediately.
The big truck crossed the road and stared at Zhou Yiran's thin body and flew out. The young life is like a parabola with a trajectory, drawing the sky, and when it falls to the ground, the afterglow still wants to glance hard in the direction of the girl.
But he couldn't. In an instant, the shock passed. With screams, call the police! Call an ambulance! In a pool of blood, there are two young and thin bodies, who can live, only to see the sky.
Suddenly, Xu Xunran opened his eyes, sat up from the hospital bed, and the cold moonlight poured in and fell on the white sheets.
She was covered in a cold sweat and tried to breathe with her mouth wide open. For so many years, this dream circled around her like a phantom, and sometimes the dream was so real that it felt as if she had gone back in time.
She couldn't help but hold her forehead, gasping again, her brain hurting, and she was wrapped in layers of thick gauze.
"If you could, I wish you hadn't saved me." It's the first time I've woken up from an old dream.
The sofa on the side suddenly creaked, so frightened that Xu Xunran hurriedly looked back, a slender figure, wrapped in a thin coat, curled up, the length of the sofa was not enough for him to stretch.
In the darkness, only the back can be seen. Perhaps she was so tired that she made a noise, and he didn't wake up.
Xu Xunran recognized who it was. Except for Lu Tingchen guarding her like this, who else could there be? Hook your lips and smile lightly, and say in your heart, isn't it a pity to waste your feelings on me?
It's stupid. Every time I think about this, my heart hurts. Grasping the neckline, he couldn't say a word for a long time.
The nurse who was still patrolling the ward found that she woke up and turned on the room lights.
"Is the patient awake? Wait for me to call a doctor. At this time, the back on the sofa moved slightly, sat up sleepily, and was stunned when he looked at her, and his eyes crossed with unconcealed joy.
She is in a trance, and Lu Tingchen is also emotional?
"Is it cold? Thirsty? Hungry or not? He was concerned about everything she had done after she sobered up. The nurse heard the reminder,
"Mr. Lu, patients need to avoid eating if they are injured, don't eat in the middle of the night. Later, you can get a nutrition shot. ”
"Okay, I'm in trouble." He nodded in acknowledgment. The little nurse was dumbfounded, and the high-ranking chaebol prince nodded to her and said thank you?
It's incredible.
"When will I be able to go home and recuperate?" He pressed again. Xu Xunran's eyes fell on his slightly closed lips, and for a moment, he didn't hear how the nurse answered carefully, seriously and patiently.
A few minutes later, a group of old academic experts in white coats and serious faces gathered around the bedside and studied Xu Xunran's medical records from surgery to postoperative sobriety in combination with the current reaction.
It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no problem that Lu Tingchen was willing to let them go.
"I had surgery?"
"Well, the wound is a bit big, and it took 7 stitches." He spoke calmly, as if he were talking about what kind of food he ate.
"But I'm on the forehead!" She said in surprise. Isn't it as uncomfortable as disfigurement for a woman who shuttles between business parties and negotiation tables, often having to show her face?
Xu Xunran was a little distraught,
"Can you hand me a mirror?"
"There's gauze, you can't see it." He took a sip of warm water, feeling that the temperature was suitable. Lu Tingchen slowly put down the teacup,
"Your life is in danger, and you're still worried about your work? I'll raise you. ”
"......" Xu Xunran had a black line on her face, she didn't mean that.
"I still have a meeting to have, you can rest first." She wondered, it's 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, still working? Before Lu Tingchen left, he pursed his lips and tucked the quilt for her.
"Close your eyes." She obediently closed it, and after a while there was the sound of the door being gently closed. In the corridor of the hospital, it was empty and quiet in the middle of the night.
He sat on the public seat with a blanket, didn't say a word and didn't turn on the computer, the original video conference became a few people taking turns to report work, and Lu Tingchen tapped the keyboard to reply.
All night, the hallways were filled with the sound of keyboard tapping. It wasn't until there was a hint of fish belly white on the horizon that he stretched his eyebrows, closed his notebook, closed his eyes and turned his neck slightly, and sat stiffly all night, very sour.
The elevator door opened, and Secretary Li arrived with a washed and ironed suit. There was also a brown paper bag in the squeaky nest.
"President, this is mouthwash, your utensils, all disposable." Secretary Li said in detail.
He frowned lightly and said, "Focus! ”
"The investigation is clear, it's indeed Zhou Yiran's family......" Halfway through speaking, he stopped abruptly and hesitated.
"Say!" His eyes were turbulent, and he seemed to have guessed something.
"Uh...... It seems to have been instructed by someone. The person who instructed it, Secretary Li seemed to be taboo and couldn't say it.
"Zhou Zhixi?" Lu Tingchen raised his eyebrows and asked. Secretary Li was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, the president is so transparent?
I couldn't help but feel ashamed of my cover-up, so I nodded.
"The person was indeed found by Miss Zhou Zhixi, that's right." Lu Tingchen's face was angry and light
"Hmm".
"Call her here!"
