Chapter 3: Discouragement
Lu Xiaojing vented her anger, dissatisfaction and incomprehension on Wu Qiming like crazy, and Wu Qiming could only bear and regret. After a violent storm and beating, Lu Xiaojing seemed to have used up the last bit of strength, and her whole body was paralyzed on the ground like cotton.
Wu Qiming, who was already covered in bruises, couldn't care about the scars and pain on his body, quickly squatted down, muttered, "Wife, I'm sorry", he picked up Lu Xiaojing and put her on the sofa.
Lu Xiaojing was lying on the sofa, feeling that she had no strength in her body, she felt that her brain was empty, her body was empty, she was lost, her eyes were looking straight at the roof, she didn't know who she was, she didn't know where she was!
Looking at her lost soul, Wu Qiming also really felt scared, he never expected such a result today. He knelt down in front of the sofa in fear, grabbed Lu Xiaojing's arm with both hands, and pleaded with a crying voice, "Wife, it's all my fault that you were like this-", he begged over and over again, but Lu Xiaojing didn't respond except for staring blankly.
After a long time, Lu Xiaojing seemed to have regained her soul, she gently closed her eyes, and two crystal tears flowed out of her eyes again, rolling down her cheeks to her ears. She took advantage of the situation to remove her arm from Wu Qiming's hand, she was already very disgusted with the familiar stranger in front of her.
Lu Xiaojing closed her eyes and lay on the sofa, motionless, tears overflowing her eyes intermittently with the rhythm of sadness. Wu Qiming half-knelt in front of the sofa and looked at Lu Xiaojing guiltily, but he didn't dare to touch her again. In this way, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and everything stood still except for the clatter of the quartz clock hands on the wall.
After about half an hour, Lu Xiaojing slowly regained her composure, she wiped a handful of tears from her cheeks with her hand, sat up from the sofa as soon as she lifted up, took her hand and walked straight to the door, then put on her high heels, picked up her handbag and opened the door and wanted to go out.
Lu Xiaojing's sudden move made Wu Qiming at a loss for a while, but when he saw Lu Xiaojing wanting to go out, he panicked. He stood up hesitantly, stepped behind Lu Xiaojing with an arrow step, and grabbed her arm, "Wife, why are you going?" ”。
Lu Xiaojing didn't reply, and said coldly, "You let go." When Wu Qiming heard this, his hand tightened, and he almost cried and begged, "Wife, don't go, I know I hurt you, but I really changed, please forgive me."
Lu Xiaojing turned her head mechanically, looked at Wu Qiming expressionlessly, and said, "Wu Qiming, you knew today, why bother in the first place, from today on, we are already strangers, I don't want to see you again."
Wu Qiming still wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start for a while, at this time Lu Xiaojing was already extremely impatient, and said to Wu Qiming sharply, "Take away your dirty hands, otherwise I will be rude to you." Hearing Lu Xiaojing's angry rebuke as cold as a knife, Wu Qiming's hand softened, and taking advantage of this gap, Lu Xiaojing slammed the door and left.
She quickly got off the elevator and walked towards the entrance of the community. When she was about to walk to the gate of the community, Wu Qiming suddenly caught up with her again, and said behind her, "Wife, where are you going, you are angry, I confess to you." Listening to Wu Qiming's chatter, Lu Xiaojing was angered again, she just wanted to stay away from this man, she felt disgusting to hear his voice in every pore, she turned around suddenly, glared at Wu Qiming, and shouted angrily, "Wu Qiming, you get away for me, if I get out of this door, I see you following me again, I will immediately find a car and kill me."
Wu Qiming was really frightened by Lu Xiaojing this time, he stood there in a daze, not daring to move half a step further. And Lu Xiaojing quickly turned around and walked quickly towards the gate of the community.
Walking out of the community and coming to the street, there is a scene of traffic everywhere. But for Lu Xiaojing, all this seems to have nothing to do with herself, she just walks aimlessly along the sidewalk, and her heart is empty.
Before she knew it, she had walked to Xinhu Park, which is also a leisure scenic spot with rippling lakes and small bridges. Because it's a Tuesday, there are few visitors in the park, and occasionally some elderly people pass by in twos and threes. Lu Xiaojing didn't want to enjoy the scenery of the lake, but just moved forward mechanically along the road by the lake.
When she walked to the Mingyue Bridge that crossed the middle of Sun Lake and Moon Lake, Lu Xiaojing stopped. She held on to the white marble railing on the bridge and looked at the lake, which was empty except for the sparkling ripples of the breeze. And her heart at this time is just like this empty lake, feeling no surprise, no joy, no worry.
He stared blankly at the lake, there was no ripple in the huge Sun Lake, and she had the idea of having no love. When this thought came to her mind, it was like a spell that tightly controlled her mind. Lu Xiaojing pressed the railing with both hands, and one foot began to want to stare at the railing, the railing was about waist-high, she couldn't go up all of a sudden, and she needed to step on the beam in the middle of the railing first. When she stepped on the beam with both feet and raised her right foot to kick to the top of the railing, she suddenly heard a childish voice, "Auntie, this railing can't be climbed."
Lu Xiaojing was awakened by this voice, she followed the sound and looked behind her, and saw a little boy of four or five years old, staring straight at herself, the two little eyes of the little boy were black and shining, Lu Xiaojing was suddenly touched by these pure eyes. She quickly put her raised right foot on the bridge deck, and the other foot also fell, and whispered to the little boy, "Oh, little friend, Auntie didn't want to go up on purpose."
At this time, Lu Xiaojing heard an old woman's voice again, "Child, what can't you think of, only life is the most precious thing in this life!" ”。 Lu Xiaojing looked up and found that behind the child, there was an old lady standing on the steps not far away, she was wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, her hair had mostly turned white, and her face was kind and quiet.
When Lu Xiaojing and the old lady looked at each other, the old lady exclaimed excitedly, "Aren't you Dr. Lu?" As soon as Lu Xiaojing heard that the other party knew her, she looked at the old man in front of her in surprise carefully: I didn't know it, but I was a little familiar, and I didn't know where I had seen it.
"Doctor Lu, you don't know me anymore, you delivered this little grandson of my family!" The old lady walked up the steps as she spoke, and when she walked up to Lu Xiaojing with a little difficulty, she grabbed Lu Xiaojing's hand. Lu Xiaojing turned her brain carefully, trying to recall the old man in front of her, but after so many years of medical practice, she has delivered countless children, and in the end she still can't remember who this old man is.
The old man didn't seem to care if she knew herself, she grabbed Lu Xiaojing's hand and looked at her face carefully, and said not without distress, "Child, what's wrong with you, your eyes are swollen, and you are crying when you look at it." Hearing her say this, Lu Xiaojing felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, it's okay, my eyes were blown by the wind just now, and I rubbed them."
The old lady is a wise person, and when she heard Lu Xiaojing say this, she did not expose her, but clenched Lu Xiaojing's hand even tighter, and said, "Child, you are a good doctor, and you are a career-minded woman, in your heart, I don't think there will be any hurdles that you can't overcome, so don't be impulsive and do things that make you, your parents, and your children regret it for life."
Lu Xiaojing could hear that the old man was alluding to the fact that she wanted to jump into the lake just now, but at this moment, looking at the old man in front of her and the child next to her, she herself felt fear and regret for the uncontrolled action just now. She also grabbed the old man's hand tightly, nodded her head deeply, and said to the old man, "Auntie, I know, I won't do that again."
The old man also felt Lu Xiaojing's sincerity, his face showed relief, and said, "That's good, then let's go, don't get on this bridge." Lu Xiaojing said, "It's okay Auntie, you and the child go first, I'll stay for a while", the old lady seemed to hesitate when she heard this, Lu Xiaojing felt that the old lady might still be uneasy, so she smiled and said to the old lady again, "Auntie, what you just said woke me up, life is the most precious, I won't do stupid things anymore!" ”。
As soon as the old lady heard Lu Xiaojing say this, and then looked at Lu Xiaojing's expression, she was relieved, and said, "Okay, I'll take my grandson to go first, go to her grandmother's house, and you can hurry home later." Lu Xiaojing said, "Okay, I'll listen to you", and then she took her left hand out of the old lady's hand, grabbed the old lady's arm, and wanted to help her down the steps.
The old lady let go of her right hand, and gently pushed her left hand away and said, "Child, don't help, I often walk here myself", saying this, the old lady took her little grandson's hand, raised her legs and walked under the bridge, when she walked a few steps, she stopped again, turned back to Lu Xiaojing and said, "Child, your work is a good deed in the world, you will be blessed!" ”。
As soon as Lu Xiaojing heard the old lady's words, her heart immediately warmed, and she quickly bowed her waist like an old lady and said gratefully, "Thank you, Auntie!" The old lady didn't say anything more, turned around, led her little grandson, and walked away slowly.
Looking at the back of the old and the young, Lu Xiaojing's heart suddenly felt a little warm, she picked up her handbag and walked under the bridge.
