Chapter 161: Found Her
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of dear Mr. Tour Guide!
As night fell, the streets of City A lit up with neon.
After Hu Qing watched Ji Luanchuan get the address and leave, he also went back to the office to get his bag and go home from work.
When she got home, she didn't turn on the TV as usual and collapsed lazily on the sofa. Instead, I went downstairs to the supermarket to buy ready-made chicken and vegetables, rolled up my sleeves and worked on the recipe in the kitchen.
During this period, the mobile phone thrown on the sofa vibrated one after another, and she didn't care.
During this time, about who should take over the position of Xu Jianguo of the news company, the news was uploaded.
It is said that of course it is Hu Qing, after all, before he jumped off the building, he had already disclosed his relationship with Hu Qing internally.
It is also said that if you want to find a way to find the disappeared Xu Yun, she is the real inheritor.
There is also the grapevine that has written countless love-hate versions of this.
It is said that after Xu Yun and Hu Qing fell out, Hu Qing became the real controller of the company's top management and forced her away.
It is also said that Hu Qing bribed the killer to kill her in order to get the news company.
There are different opinions, but there are no conclusions.
Among all the news, only one rarely read headline article said that the famous former news reporter Xu Yun was bizarrely disfigured and now hiding in a private hospital in City A. But just a few minutes after this news came out, and when the number of views was less than 100, it was bought at a large price and disappeared from the news channel forever.
The aroma of the hot chicken soup lingers in the small kitchen for a long time.
Hu Qing pursed his lips, turned his eyes around the locker in the refrigerator, took out three or four fruits and cut them into small pieces, and made them into a fruit platter in another snack box and sealed them.
Everything is ready, and the moon has risen outside the window.
Hu Qing walked out with chicken soup side dishes and fruit platter, and took the time to open his mobile phone and look at it.
Ji Luanchuan's name is written in the call record.
Just now, he made more than a dozen phone calls and a text message.
The mobile phone software sounded the urging of the online car-hailing driver in the station, Hu Qing opened the text message and glanced at it, but before he could reply, he threw the mobile phone into his pocket and sat in the car and galloped away.
Taxis drove quickly through the busy streets, and the yellowed leaves outside the window drifted in through the cracks, bringing a bit of late autumn gloom.
Along the way, Hu Qing held the thermos box and rarely spoke, and the driver accosted him several times without a response, and then retracted his gaze in the rearview mirror.
"When we get there, let's stop here."
"Here?" The driver looked up at the office building next to him that was sent into the clouds, and thought that Hu Qing was here to work overtime or deliver supper to his boyfriend who was working overtime.
But after getting out of the car, Hu Qing did not immediately enter the office building, but stood at the door, until the driver muttered and drove the car away from the road and sped away for a long time, then he shrunk his shoulders and walked straight to the hospital opposite the office building.
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the hospital was unusually quiet.
Occasionally, when she met a familiar nurse walking in a wheelchair, she would say hello, then lower the brim of her hat and look backwards and forwards before continuing to the inpatient department.
Five minutes later, Hu Qing was standing in a hospital room at the very end of the corridor on the third floor.
"Get up and eat, and I'll leave as soon as I'm done."
The man with his back to her was hidden in the dark, with no lights on, and his voice was hoarse.
"No, I'm not hungry."
"Not hungry, not hungry, not hungry." Hu Qing looked at her with hatred, "Do you really plan to be hungry like a handful of bones and be pressed by the doctor to give nutrient solution to be considered hungry?" ”
"I said if you can make a difference, isn't it-"
"Isn't it just ruining a little face, isn't it just a broken leg, right?"
Xu Yun pulled the corners of her mouth self-deprecatingly, looked at the cold moonlight outside the window, and hid her mottled side face into the shadows.
"That's not what I meant."
"I just think that you are torturing both the people around you and yourself like this."
"You are alive and well, but you have to tell others that you are dead."
"Obviously you did good deeds to become like this, you sit up straight, what can't you face?"
"If I were you, I would straighten my back and appear in all the strange eyes, and live better."
"Instead of caring about the so-called speculation and discussion of the outside world."
Hu Qing stood at the door, looking at her heart even more blocked.
Both distressed and angry.
She didn't know what she was angry about.
Xu Yun was silent for a long time, then suddenly shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "What, you're here to quarrel with me today?" ”
"Little Ancestor, you know ......"
"I know, you didn't mean that."
Xu Yun's tone softened and said, "You turn on the lights." ”
"It's uncomfortable to stand in the dark like this."
"I know you're worried about me and want to stay with me. I'm fine. ”
"It's just that I really don't have an appetite today."
After she finished speaking, she raised her chin and pointed to the other bed in the ward, and just wanted Hu Qing to sit, she paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "Ji Luanchuan came to me today." ”
Xu Yun's hand hanging on the side of the bed stiffened for a moment, and he smiled unnaturally at the corner of his mouth, but there was a strange sadness in his eyes.
"How is he?" She asked in a calm tone.
Hu Qing sighed, "In just one month, it seems like a different person." ”
"The beard is unshaven, the eye sockets are deep, and the eyes are full of red bloodshots, how to say it, it looks really embarrassing."
He also asked me for your cemetery, and went to the cemetery to "see you". ”
"Well, when he came over in the evening, he made more than a dozen calls, but I didn't answer."
"Why don't you pick it up?" Xu Yun thought about Ji Luanchuan's embarrassed appearance, and her heart was distressed.
She couldn't imagine the haggard look of those dark and deep eyes, but the tone of the conversation still seemed flat and indifferent, like inconsequential small talk.
Hu Qing looked uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help blurting out the words in his heart.
"I said you don't have to."
"People who really like you don't care about these appearances."
"Even if you have a physical disability, even if you are disfigured, Ji Luanchuan will not dislike you, right?"
"He's the kind of person, you should know!"
"It's because I know that, that's why I do it."
"If he knew I was alive, he would have come to me."
"And what about when you find it?" Xu Yun squinted his eyes and looked out the window, "After finding it, he will have to bear my current decadence and depression, and after finding it, he will have to face a mutilated face and body for the rest of his life." ”
"He didn't like me enough, you know."
"He could have had a better choice."
"And I don't want to kidnap him and the rest of his life with such a mutilated self."
Normal people may choose to leave when they encounter a situation like Xu Yun.
But she knew that Ji Luanchuan wouldn't.
Even if he doesn't like himself that much, he will take the responsibility when he thinks about the cause and process of his injury.
Xu Yun didn't want to do this.
In this relationship, she has always been trying to maintain it.
And he was always passive.
In her opinion, this kind of passivity is actually not enough love.
Then it's enough for her to really like having a show, and she doesn't want to kidnap anyone, and she doesn't want to drag anyone down.
"So letting him know that I'm not in this world anymore is the best outcome."
In this way, he can let go of the past with peace of mind and live a happy second half of his life.
Maybe he will meet a woman he likes more, or maybe he will get married and have children, and continue to be a tour guide.
But it had nothing to do with her.
Xu Yun pursed her lips, and it was a little hard to imagine what he looked like in a suit.
She had hinted to herself countless times in her mind that it would all become an inevitable reality. But when I thought that when he got married in the future, the bride was not her, and my heart was still sad and a little sour.
"And," she said, after a pause, looking up at the tears from her eyes, "I fell in love with him at first, but it was because he was good-looking. ”
"Ask yourself, it's impossible for me to fall in love with a man who is scarily ugly at first sight."
"You see, I'm like this myself, how can I expect others to not care about the external skin."
"You are also a journalist, you should know that human nature cannot stand the test."
"Really?"
Hu Qing wanted to say something to refute, but after thinking about it for a long time, there was really no reason to refute it in a eloquent manner.
Indeed, she has been doing journalism for so many years and has seen a lot of things in the world.
It's not uncommon for someone like Xu Yun to do this.
But what happened to those people in the end?
Some are so tired that they can't support it, and some are physically and mentally exhausted.
All feelings are suppressed by reality, and there is no life.
Many people will say afterwards that it is better to separate like that in the first place.
Xu Yun also saw a lot.
Although her choice is resolute now, it cannot be said that it is irrational.
It's just that no one knows how much notice such sanity needs to bear. The only one who can understand and endure it is herself.
In the dark, the two women laughed helplessly and calmly about various realities.
And on the wall outside the ward, leaning on Ji Luanchuan, who had been tracking all the way.
After finding that the urn was empty, he immediately thought of coming back to Hu Qing.
But Hu Qing didn't answer the phone or reply to text messages. His intuition told him that she must know where Xu Yun was.
And in City A, there was no one better than Hu Qing and Xu Yun.
So Ji Luanchuan called Django and asked him to help locate Hu Qing's mobile phone, and chased him all the way to the door of the ward.
When Xu Yun said those words, he wanted to push open the door and refute sharply.
But in the end, seeing her side face hidden in the corner of the moonlight, and the sadness and determination that flashed in his eyes, his hand holding the handle gradually let go.
In the ward, Hu Qing and Xu Yun talked about other topics, and the previously dull atmosphere seemed to be suddenly dispelled.
Ji Luanchuan stood outside the door for a long time, looked up at the ceiling, and then looked at Xu Yun through the gap in the glass window of the ward.
He wanted to see her face, but she kept hiding in the dark, and the farther she hid, he couldn't see anything clearly.
Even so, the figure curled up in a ball on the hospital bed was distressingly thin.
Ji Luanchuan clenched his fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands bulged.
God knows how much he wanted to rush in.
But in the end, he just gritted his teeth and stood at the door for a few minutes, then turned and left. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "Dear Mr. Tour Guide", pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
