Tong Chaohua nodded as if she didn't understand, she was a little used to the capriciousness of the man in front of her.

"Well, thank you then."

"Goodbye."

Looking at the car that was leaving, Tong Chaohua felt that she was still a little stunned, she put the blue plastic bag in her hand into the bag, and then walked in the direction pointed by the man.

Sure enough, there really aren't many people on this road.

It must have something to do with the fact that there are no workplaces nearby.

In less than a while, Tong Chaohua got a car, and because of Ning Moyan's relationship, she even forgot that he was still worried about Lu Rin's affairs just now.

There was no heating in the taxi, and the comfort was too far worse than Ning Moyan's car, but it made Tong Chaohua's mind a lot clearer.

I don't know when the sky is completely overcast, it is obviously daytime, but it is like dusk, and the air pressure is so low that people are a little out of breath.

There was no wind, Tong Chaohua looked up at the calm sky, and it seemed that it was another good snow.

This is not the city center, but it should be under development, and in several of the buildings of Nuoda, a few small red buildings sandwiched in the middle are particularly dazzling, and several of them are dilapidated, and they seem to have been abandoned and ready to be demolished.

Tong Chaohua walked over briskly according to the address Shen Beichen and Shen Beichen told him.

The corridor was darker than the outside, and Tong Chaohua had to reluctantly rely on the slightest light from the window to hold on to the handrail of the stairs and go up.

Tong Chaohua gently covered his nose with his hand.

The musty smell is very strong, and it looks like it is caused by the years.

When I got to the third floor, I looked at the door number carefully, and after confirming that it was Shen Beichen who said something on the phone, he knocked it with his knuckles, and then took a small step back slightly.

I waited a little while, but there was no response from the door.

Tong Chaohua knocked again, and the empty knock on the door echoed in the corridor, looking a little deliberate, and when he was about to call Shen Beichen to ask what was going on, the door was suddenly blown out of a small gap by the wind.

"Huh?"

Tong Chaohua was a little puzzled, did Shen Beichen leave her the door? She put her phone back in her pants pocket.

Pushing open the door, the door that had been in disrepair for a long time made a miserable "crunch-" sound, and Tong Chaohua couldn't help but get goosebumps behind him.

The room was very dark, and the only source of light was covered by thick curtains.

"Beichen?"

In exchange for only silence.

"Beichen?"

Tong Chaohua couldn't help but feel a little flustered, she always felt out of breath in a dark and confined space.

Just as she was about to call Shen Beichen, suddenly the door on the side rang.

Slightly startled, she turned her head and saw Shen Beichen looking at her with a smile on his face:

"I'm sorry, Chaohua, I was in the toilet just now."

Tong Chaohua breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought of the reason for coming, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and he couldn't laugh out.

"Come, sit down first." Shen Beichen is still the signature smile that belongs to Shen Beichen, very sweet, it makes people's hearts very warm, she pulled out the chair and looked at Tong Chaohua.

The chairs are also worn out and don't seem to be able to hold much weight.

The encased fabric was already a little worn, revealing cotton wool that had been yellow from age.

I couldn't help frowning slightly.

Shen Beichen naturally found out about Tong Chaohua's actions, but she still had a smile on her face, and after Tong Chaohua sat down, she poured a cup of tea.

Tong Chaohua just wanted to pick it up and take a sip politely, but suddenly thought of the packet of white powder.

"Beichen, what are you looking for me for?"

Tong Chaohua pushed away the tea in front of him, took out the strange package of medicine from his pocket, patted it lightly on the table, and asked in a soft tone.

Shen Beichen didn't look at the bag of things, but looked around and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

"How's it going here?"

Tong Chaohua was slightly stunned by Shen Beichen's answer, and only then did she realize that Shen Beichen was talking about this house, looking at the cobwebs on the ceiling, she really couldn't think of any suitable words.

"It's shabby, isn't it?" Shen Beichen bit his lip slightly, and then focused his gaze on Tong Chaohua's face.

“……”

"Chaohua, there is indeed one thing in my business that you care about."

She habitually glanced at the clock hanging on the wall again, and Tong Chaohua obviously noticed Shen Beichen's subtle action of looking at the time too often.

"Are you in a hurry?" She opened her mouth a little puzzled.

"Hmm...... In a hurry, but now there is something more important. ”

Shen Beichen looked at Tong Chaohua seriously and continued:

"Jingxin, can I ask you a question?"

"What?"

"About that accident four years ago." Shen Beichen smiled, and then said slowly: "I heard that you were sick before. ”

Tong Chaohua was stunned, she never expected Shen Beichen to say this, and she was a little confused for a while: "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”

"That day, you drove the car, right?"

Shen Beichen didn't care about Tong Chaohua's words, and continued: "When you drive, do you feel dizzy and uncomfortable? ”

"How do you know?" Tong Chaohua looked at Shen Beichen, only to feel that her heartbeat was gradually accelerating, and an ominous premonition couldn't help but envelop her heart.

"Why would I know?" Shen Beichen looked at Tong Chaohua and said softly: "Before driving, do you remember what your last meal tasted like?" ”

Last meal...... Salty...... Exceptionally salty.

It's the same as Shen Beichen did that day......

Tong Chaohua felt a little out of breath, and gradually his vision became a little blurred, and a terrible fact pierced Tong Chaohua's chest like a sharp bayonet.

“……”

Four years ...... For four years, she has been running away.

Escaping the car accident four years ago, the dizziness and chest tightness that suddenly broke out that day made her lose consciousness for a short time, and because of this second, her parents lost their lives, and Shen Beichen lost four years......

In the past few years, every time Pei Hanlin embarrasses her, there is another reason why she endures, that is, this secret buried deep in her heart.

Her parents really had an accident because of her problems, she can't resist, she has to atone for her sins...... Only when you are in pain will the burden on your heart be slightly lightened.

That's it, the torture that others can only suffer after living for several lifetimes.

That kind of pain, helplessness, and grievance, like a soldering iron in prison that marks the identity of the annoying, is deeply seared on Tong Chaohua's heart, internal organs, and every piece of skin.

Although the pain may fade over time, the scar remains on it forever.

She looked at Shen Beichen in front of her, and only felt that the smile on the corner of the woman's mouth in front of her was unusually cruel and ruthless.

So far, what does Fang Fei mean by what she said?

She couldn't believe it, and she couldn't accept it.

"Did you do it?"

The simple five words seem to exhaust Tong Chaohua's lifelong perseverance and patience.

"Are you talking about that meal, I made it, is it delicious?"

Shen Beichen narrowed his eyes as if he didn't understand, and laughed.

Faced with this ambiguous reply, Tong Chaohua finally couldn't restrain her emotions, she stared at the red eyes at the corners of her eyes, and looked at Shen Beichen:

"Aren't we friends?"

"yes." The smile on Shen Beichen's face became very strange in the dim light:

"It's because you're friends that you're going to cook for you, isn't it? And ......"

"Tong Chaohua, do you really know what a friend is?"

Shen Beichen took off the smile on her face, she looked at the clock on the wall from the beginning, then stood up and looked at Tong Chaohua condescendingly:

"You just said that you care about me, yes, Jingxin, you really didn't lie."

Shen Beichen turned his back to Tong Chaohua and walked to the TV cabinet on the side.

"You care about Pei Hanlin, you care about the man I love most in my life." She opened a drawer, and although the smile on her face had completely faded, her tone was still gentle, and the mildness made people feel terrifying.

Tong Chaohua's thoughts have completely drifted to four years ago.

Perhaps because the emotional fluctuations were too great, Tong Chaohua only felt that his heart twitched as if he was spasmodic, and countless thoughts poured into his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little blank for a moment.

Just when Tong Chaohua felt that she was going to faint in the next second, she suddenly didn't know what hit her face, making her slightly sober.

She picked up the photo in her hand, and her hand trembled instinctively.

Looking at Tong Chaohua's expression that was completely overwhelmed, Shen Beichen hooked the corners of her mouth even more cruelly, and she looked at the clock on the wall again.

It's almost time.

"Tong Chaohua! All you think is why am I hurting you? I'll tell you why now! Shen Beichen snatched the wedding photo from Tong Chaohua's hand, held it up to Tong Chaohua's expression, and shouted sharply:

"You're friends with me?! What do you care about talking to me?! Tong Chaohua, over the years, how many things you have snatched from me that belong to me, I have endured you. ”

"But why, why did you even snatch Pei Hanlin away from me? Why should I hurt you? Tong Chaohua, if it were you, what would you do? ”

"A person who grew up with you, constantly taking your stuff and then marrying the person you love the most? Well? Why don't you just want—"

"Snap" crisp sound.

Tong Chaohua grabbed his chest, panting, and looked coldly at Shen Beichen in front of him, because he had used too much strength just now, his hands were a little numb, and his heart twitched violently because of his strength.

She felt that she was going to faint in anger in the next second.

"You're crazy."

After a long time, Tong Chaohua spit out these three words slightly, she no longer looked like Shen Beichen, but slowly stepped back, her head was like being beaten with a stick, her blood was on her head, and she couldn't say a word in a dizzy.

Shen Beichen is simply crazy!

Shen Beichen slowly turned his face, put his hand on his somewhat reddened cheeks, and his eyes were full of tears: "Jing Xin, why are you doing this to me?" ”
