Chapter 073 Commitment? (Happy birthday before Silence)
With neon flashing, the capital is a city that never sleeps, even at midnight, there is a lot of traffic, which shows the richness of the nightlife in the capital. Chen Jun drove the car with seven turns and eight turns, up and down the viaduct. I don't know where I'm going, I don't know how long I've been walking.
Now Dong Xiaokui has no way to look out the window. Being held tightly in Xu Er's arms, her thinking was almost stagnant, dizzy, but she didn't dare to close her eyes. Because, as soon as she closed her eyes, she could see the color of blood, as if the smell of blood was still lingering around.
Xu Er hugged her tightly and patted her on the back, as if he was holding a small baby. A few times, his phone rang, and he didn't care. Just hold her like that.
His embrace was warm, and in the slight smell of blood, there was a clean plant fragrance, which made her feel very stable. She leaned against him, her head resting on his chest.
He lowered his head to his ear, the burning breath spreading across her face, and she felt a little itchy and couldn't help but avoid it. He almost kissed her earlobe and whispered, "I'm sorry." β
This sentence has self-blame and remorse, as well as pity. Dong Xiaokui took a while to analyze it, and only reflected it when he gently kissed her neck. This man was remorseful for putting himself in danger.
What's his business? She didn't like him to blame himself. So, she struggled to sit on his lap, straightened up, and looked at him as she was close at hand. He was also looking at her, with a very serious expression, his brows furrowed slightly.
She reached out to stroke his forehead and said, "It's none of your business." β
He hugged her tightly, stroked her face over and over again, and said one word: "Silly." β
"I'm fine." She said that she reached out to grab his hand, but he grabbed it and held it tightly in the palm of her hand. The two hugged like this, and the car drove all the way. It wasn't until she stopped that Dong Xiaokui glanced at it, it seemed to be an ordinary community, the convenience store downstairs was still lit, and there were dim street lamps next to the lawns that had been divided.
These lawns are filled with all kinds of cars. About in the capital where every inch of land is valuable, the development of the community, to make an underground parking lot requires more capital investment, and it is better to use the first and second floors of the basement as supermarkets, shopping malls, etc., which is more profitable. As for the parking spaces, the general community adopts the method of lawn parking space dual-use. That is, the use of a tenacious grass, the use of the planting method of the crevices of the floor tiles, as a way to solve the problem of greenery and parking spaces. In Pingsuri, the car drives away, and the lawn is green during the day, and the open-air parking space is at night.
This is an ordinary cell, and even counts as low-grade. What did Xu Er bring her here for? Dong Xiaokui was a little puzzled, but he had already carried her out of the car and walked to the door of a building next to him.
Chen Jun took something and followed behind. Although it was midnight, there were still occasional people coming and going in the community. So, she struggled and said, "Zhonglin, I'll go by myself." β
"I threw your skirt away." He whispered.
Only then did Dong Xiaokui realize that the blood-stained skirt had indeed been thrown away by him, and she was now wrapped in a thin quilt. If she went by herself, it was really inconvenient, so she stopped insisting. The whole person felt very tired, so he leaned close to Xu Er, feeling that he was still by his side, and his heart was very steady.
It's still an elevator, the elevator that Chen Jun pressed on.
The room is on the 8th floor and is simply renovated. Just like the houses of many working families in the capital, they are so ordinary that they can't be more ordinary, and the two-bedroom ones are not duplexes.
Chen Jun put some things aside and said, "Xu Shao, if it's okay, I'll be next door." β
"Well, there you go." Xu Er replied, and then put Dong Xiaokui on the sofa.
As soon as he left his embrace, Dong Xiaokui suddenly felt a little scared. He cowered. He closed the door and turned around, just in time to see her shrinking, and immediately asked, "Xiaokui, are you uncomfortable?" β
Dong Xiaokui shook her head and said, "I'm fine." It will be fine soon. β
She replied that, in fact, she didn't know when she would get better. There was a sense of trepidation in my heart. This kind of panic is different from any previous fear, it is not simply fear, or the fear of joy in the rest of life. This trepidation was depressing, with a kind of repression that she couldn't explain.
Xu Er listened to her answer, but frowned, and gently rubbed her face, like rubbing a precious fragile crystal. It took a long time for him to say, "I was wrong." Girl, cry if you want to cry, shout when you want to shout. Don't hold it back, it's hard to recover if it's not painful. β
Dong Xiaokui's heart was indeed depressed, but she couldn't cry. It felt like something was in the chest, and I couldn't pull it out, I couldn't spit it out, and it was very uncomfortable. So, she shook her head and didn't say anything, and the whole person pulled the quilt tightly and slumped herself on the sofa.
Xu Er looked at her, then turned around and walked into the next room. Dong Xiaokui finally couldn't hold back and closed her eyes, but it was all that kind of blood. and the man falling straight backwards, so suppressed that she finally burst into a low cry and opened her eyes.
Xu Er hurriedly walked out, sat down and hugged her, and said, "Xiaokui, I'm here, I'm not afraid." β
She gasped for breath and sorted out for a moment before she said, "I'm messy." β
"I know how I feel, and I've felt it too." He said, in a calm tone. Then tell Dong Xiaokui about the discomfort he faced for the first time at the end of his life. He said he was twenty-one years old at the time, on a mission, and had to shoot.
"All of a sudden, you feel like a life has passed out of your hands. It's a terrible feeling. Xu Er held her in his arms, like holding a small baby.
Dong Xiaokui listened to his narration, and then asked, "Then what did you do later?" β
"Later, I locked myself up in Ningyuan for a week. I said to myself: You are guarding the safety of the country, and there is nothing to feel guilty about and chagrin. And then that's what I did. He said slowly, then patted her on the back and said, "You might think I'm cold-blooded." However, stability always needs to be sacrificed to protect, and it needs to be bloody. β
"I don't think so." Dong Xiaokui whispered. Yes, how could she think that Xu Zhonglin was a cold-blooded person? Familiar with history, she knows the sacrifices needed for the stability of each dynasty, and how hard to work. I also know that the stability and unity of a country must be the silent sacrifice of countless people. Even if it is just walking around Wangfujing, looking at the satisfaction and happiness of the moment of sunshine and warmth, there may be how many people are bleeding and sacrificing for this moment of ordinary people. And Xu Er obviously belongs to one of this category of people. It will pass away at any time.
He lowered his head and put his head around her neck and said, "It's good if you understand." So, have you ever wondered why you're making a move today? Regardless of his life. β
"I-" Dong Xiaokui looked at the cloisonnΓ© vase in the living room, glowing peacefully in the dim light. Her mind couldn't help but go back to the moment in the parking lot. It wasn't until Xu Er asked this question that she dared to think back to that time.
At that time, I didn't think about anything, I wasn't afraid, all I wanted was not to drag Xu Er's hind legs, and I could do my best to help him. There was even a moment,
She was glad she had been carrying a hedgehog thorn with her. She leaned back, choosing not hesitating to stab the man in the heart. She didn't think about the consequences at all, she just thought that he would be safe and unharmed.
When she thought of this, she was stunned. It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she had forgotten about herself at that moment. All she thought about was him.
This discovery was like a hundred thunderbolts exploding in my heart. Do you already like it this way? She couldn't help but move.
"What's wrong? Have you thought it through? He looked up at her.
Dong Xiaokui didn't speak, but also looked at his well-defined face, and suddenly, he had feelings of desolation. She looked at him in a daze, but he was a little frightened by her look, frowned, and shouted: "Xiaokui? β
She said "um", nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit it out, and came over for a while before she said slowly: "Because I don't want to hold you back, I want you to be well, so, I don't think about anything else at all." β
When Xu Er heard this, a smile appeared on his lips, he rubbed her hair, and said, "That's right." You are guarding what you want to protect, so you hurt people. Moreover, the man was extremely vicious, and you did not kill him. So, you shouldn't punish yourself with sadness and guilt. You know? β
Dong Xiaokui looked at him, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, pursed his lips and nodded, and said "Okay".
Xu Er looked at her, and probably saw that she didn't come out all at once. Yes, he also used it for a week, not to mention that she has never been afraid of blood and death.
"Okay, take a hot shower and get a good night's sleep." Xu Er said and picked her up.
She was so tired that she didn't have any strength, and her thoughts were very dull. It seems that it will take a while for Xu Er to change what she said. By the time she reacted, he had already carried her to the bathroom, put her in the bathtub, and asked, "Do you wash it yourself, or will I help you?" β
"What?" Dong Xiaokui was a little distracted, and immediately came back to her senses and said, "No, I'll wash it myself, you can just give me clothes." β
Xu Er didn't insist, said "yes", then turned around and walked out, walked two steps and turned around, pulled up her hair, and said, "You take a bath first, and when you're done, I'll help you wash your hair." β
Dong Xiaokui didn't answer, she just felt that the water in the bathtub was very warm and relaxing, and she was a little drowsy. I couldn't help but bury it in the water. He dragged her up and asked, "Do you hear me?" β
Dong Xiaokui nodded, Xu Er walked out, came in after a while, and gave her a set of pajamas. Then, some crying and laughing shouted: "Dong Xiaokui, hurry up and wash it, you will get sick if the water is cold." β
She looked up at him, and felt that she was familiar with this person, but it seemed to be very strange. Looking at this, all of a sudden, I felt like I was a guest in a dream. Xu Er squatted down to look at her very worriedly, and said, "Xiaokui, you can tell me a word, okay?" β
She just looked at him, not knowing what to say to him, and only after a while did she ask, "Are you okay?" β
Xu Er suddenly had a look of disillusionment on his face, he reached out and pressed her into the bathtub, so that she leaned on her back against the wall of the bathtub, and added some hot water to it, scattering her hair. Then, he pulled the shower down and said, "Dong Xiaokui, you lie down and close your eyes." I'll wash your hair. β
"Hmm." Dong Xiaokui replied that the water in the bathtub was very warm and flowing around her skin, and she felt very relaxed, so she closed her eyes. Xu Er washed his hair very lightly, washed it very carefully, and washed it for a long time. It wasn't until Dong Xiaokui felt that his neck was sore, and he said yes. Then I took a dry towel and wiped it off. After that, he wrapped her up and said, "Okay, come out after washing quickly, I'm outside, if you don't come out in ten minutes, I'll come in and help you take a bath." β
If it were normal, she would have been annoyed and angry, or dismissive of him. But at this moment, she just nodded, because she was really tired.
Dong Xiaokui quickly took a shower and went out, Xu Er was smoking by the window, the wind outside the window was a little strong, blowing straight in, although it was not cold, but it was a little cold after all. She subconsciously wrapped herself in a wrapping shirt. Xu Er extinguished the cigarette, closed the window, turned around, raised his hand to look at his watch, and said, "Very good, nine minutes." β
She ignored his humor and only asked, "Where's the blow?" β
He didn't answer, but took her hand and walked into the bedroom. Even if this is the layout of a small family, the decoration is simple, but the utensils are absolutely unambiguous. The mahogany dresser has a classical meaning, the huge mirror, the color is a bit like a classical bronze mirror, there is a side in the old house of the Dong family, it is said that there is a relic of a housewife in the Qing Dynasty. She went to sort out the items that were left behind, and she loved it.
She sat in front of the mahogany dresser, if it weren't for Xu Er holding a hair dryer, she really felt that the light and shadow were intertwined. He blew her hair, and he always thought that blowing too dry would damage her hair, and this time he also dried her hair, picked her up directly, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt. Say, "Well, don't think about anything, close your eyes and rest." β
The bed was soft and the quilt smelled of daylight during the day, which she found very comfortable. Nodding at him, he shrunk under the covers.
"I'm going to take a shower." He said.
Maybe it's because I'm too tired, or maybe I'm too frightened. Dong Xiaokui soon fell asleep, but in the dream, it was all shattered, and it was all step by step, and she met all kinds of enemies. Demons and monsters, as if there are dangers lurking on all sides. And she is the one who stands out from the encirclement, and her decision to kill is extremely ruthless, just because she is determined to live and protect the people she wants to protect.
She fought to her heart's content in her dreams. Finally, she was woken up. When I opened my sleepy eyes and saw the twilight of the wall lamp in the bedroom, I remembered that it was a dream, and that I was unusually determined to exist in a dream.
"Aoi, are you having a nightmare?" Xu Er had already changed his pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed, half of his body propped up on the bed, and asked with concern.
She shook her head and said, "I'm fine." β
"It's okay, it's all punching and kicking." Xu Er's tone was a little displeased.
"It's not a nightmare." She said. In fact, in the dream just now, I was so firm and didn't hesitate, but I liked it. When people reach that kind of predicament, they are surrounded by enemies, and they want to live, and they have to protect the people they care about, and they can't tolerate the slightest soft-heartedness and hesitation. After a fight in her dream, she was much better than before she went to bed.
"And the punches and kicks?" Xu Er didn't believe it, lifted the quilt and jumped on the bed, held her in his arms, and held her hand and rubbed it carefully.
She leaned into his arms and said slowly, "Everyone has their own way to adjust their course, this is my way." β
He didn't speak, and said word by word for a long time: "Dong Xiaokui, from now on, I won't let today's incident happen again." β
It's like an oath. However, this fool, this kind of thing is an accident, can he stop it? Dong Xiaokui felt a little pity in his heart, held his hand instead, and said: "I usually say that I am stupid, but you are really stupid, these things are unexpected, you don't have to mind too much." β
As soon as these words came out, Xu Er suddenly turned sideways, hugged her tightly, and didn't say anything. kissed her lips, an extremely lingering kiss, and the two were entangled.
For a moment, she only felt that the starlight in the sky was dripping down, and the whole person fell into the sea together with the starlight, and she was weak. I had to cling to his neck. At this moment, the surroundings were like the vast sea, and he was the only piece of driftwood.
The act of her clinging to his neck made him shake, and he rolled over and pressed her, and the lingering kiss ravaged violently, as if to swallow her whole. His wheezing echoed around him, like a surging tide. She couldn't help but moan from her throat, and the hoarse moan that didn't make her own startle. When I opened my eyes, I saw that his eyes were closed and his frowning brows were close at hand.
This man is still so strange, but it seems so familiar. That little bit of time, from the first encounter in the taxi to the moment of life and death tonight. It turned out that it was so long
What a mysterious fate, this man who was supposed to be above the nine heavens, but met an ordinary woman like himself. It exists in such a peculiar way.
At this moment, she cried inexplicably. She took the initiative to reach out and hug him, hugging him tightly. It was the first time she had hugged him so tightly. Xu Er, who was pulling her pajamas, shook her body, slightly removed her lips, and opened her eyes to look at her, with surprise and strangeness in her expression.
She pursed her lips, tears sliding down the pillow from the corners of her eyes.
He looked at it and said eagerly: "Don't cry, I don't touch you, I just couldn't help but want to kiss you." β
As he spoke, he shoved her and rolled her over to the side to lie down. When she saw his expression, she was a little anxious, and shouted: "Zhonglin, I didn't mean that, I just thought I could be by your side, I was happy that you could be so good to me." β
When he heard this, he was very surprised, hugged her fiercely, and said very reproachfully: "But today, I almost killed you." β
"It was an accident." Dong Xiaokui corrected again.
He didn't speak, just hugged her tightly, kissed her on the forehead for a long time, and said, "Xiaokui, no matter what happens, you have to believe me." I'm not God, if I do something wrong, you have to remind me and forgive me. You know what? β
Dong Xiaokui didn't quite understand what was wrong with Xu Er, but he felt that he was so soft at this moment. She rested her head on his chest and said, "Okay." β
She said it solemnly, and it felt like some kind of promise. ......
