Extra 21: Low to Dust (Dean)
There was silence on the other end of the phone, as if a disconnection was broken, I lowered my eyes, put down my phone and hung up the phone.
Xuanxuan looked at me with a puzzled expression, and I smiled at her, "Your sister, you can't do it without provoking her." β
She looked at me and blinked, then lowered her eyes, and I saw that the roots of her ears were a little red.
Looking away, I reached for my coffee and took a sip before I raised my eyes to look at her, "By the way, you can't live here." β
She stiffened slightly, lifted her eyes to look at me, I curled my lips and put down my coffee, "Your interpersonal relationship is too simple, I'm worried that your sister and the police will find this, so I'm going to find you an apartment outside to live in first." β
She furrowed her eyebrows and looked at me, but I put down my coffee, smiled at him, and raised my hand to gently rub the top of her hair, "Don't worry, I'll go over with you every day." β
She heard me say that, the tension on her face disappeared, and she nodded heavily at me.
"...... is really easy to coax......
I found a house for Xuanxuan, and then kept an eye on Awen's movements.
Someone from the restaurant came to talk once, and I didn't agree because I couldn't leave for the time being.
However, I renovated the dining room and replaced the wall paintings and the ubiquitous irises with bright red manju sawa, which is about the flower of fate.
I would go to see Xuanxuan every day, watch TV with her, and help her disguise and take her to climb the mountain.
She needs to go out and walk more, as Arwen said, breathe more fresh air, not only for the body, but also for the mood to become open.
She needs to have a sense of attachment to the world and not be immersed in her mother's ridiculous equivalence game theory.
On the day of Jiayuan's prenatal checkup, I was on my way to the hospital, and she said, "Will you really come to see me?" β
She could feel her uneasiness, and she should still wonder if I was really going to let Arwen go as I promised her, and all these days were just to appease her.
"Of course I will go to see you, and I promise you, I will definitely do it, after all, I don't want you to sneak out again and hurt anyone and yourself."
"Will Brother Wen really leave?"
"I'm not 100 percent sure, but judging from his recent movements, there is still a 70 percent chance."
She lowered her eyes and was silent for a while, then nodded her head, and I paused and told again, "Remember, as long as Arwen finds you, you will run outside the hospital, you know?" β
"Hmm."
I reached out and gently patted the top of her hair, "Don't worry me. β
She smiled slightly, then nodded heavily......
The plan went more smoothly than I expected, thanks to Arwen's keen senses, not long after Xuanxuan was taken to the police station, I received a call from Zhu Ning, telling me that Xuanxuan had been found and told me not to worry.
I knew that it was Nuo Xi who asked her to fight just when I was thinking about whether she really wanted me not to worry or hinted that I Xuan Xuan found me and I could go, Zhu Ning's low voice came again.
She told her that Nuo Xi had recently had a dispute with the family over Xuanxuan's matter, and Xuanxuan would find it, and the second lady of the Gu family was holding on to this matter, and she couldn't leave for the time being, hoping that I could help Nuo Xi go to see Xuanxuan first.
When I heard this, my lips curled, "Don't worry, Xuanxuan, I will take care of her." β
It's good, she looks scrappy again, which is a bonus.
Hanging up the phone, I rushed to the hospital, she looked fine, unharmed, I took care of the hospital, I stood outside the isolation room and looked at her curled up and sitting on the bed, time went back to many years ago.
How many six years are there in life?
She suddenly lifted her eyes to look at the small window, and she knew that I was looking at her, and there was a reassuring smile in her eyes.
I nodded to her and turned away.
The next day, I made a special call to Ah Wen in the morning and told him that I had made an appointment to see Xuanxuan and if he wanted to go with him.
I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him, to get a little bit of a look, and to give him some hints to leave.
I thought he wouldn't want to see Xuanxuan, and I was still thinking about whether I should ask him to the restaurant in the afternoon to catch up if he rejected me, but I didn't expect him to agree quickly.
Not long after the hospital, Jiayuan called him, and I also said a few words to Jiayuan, and then hung up the phone, I asked Awen, is Jiayuan okay?
Arwen smiled and shook his head lightly and said, It's fine, just a little frightened, and the tire is angry, but it's okay now.
I listened to my heart tense slightly, thinking about the enthusiasm of Jiayuan on the phone just now, I said, "I thought it was okay, I listened to her on the phone just now......"
"Hahaha - she's that person, she has no heart and no lungs, she will be afraid when it comes to the end, and she will forget it immediately, I am very convinced of her!"
"......" his heart was sour again, but he still smiled back, "Jiayuan's personality is very good." β
"yes." He turned his head and smiled as he gradually stopped, "Don't say it, I kind of want to go back." β
"Go back?" Actually, I could hear what he meant by going back.
"Woodland." He glanced sideways at me, then lowered his head and pulled out a cigarette from his bag, "It's not time yet, smoke a cigarette and talk." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
"By the way, how is Sister Gu?"
"She's in a bad situation right now."
"What's wrong?"
In between small talk, I was overwhelmed by the guilt and guilt, and several times I couldn't help but want to tell him that I really wanted to.
But I couldn't speak, because this was not only a secondary injury, but he would not let Xuanxuan go, and I still remember the words in front of Jiayi's tombstone......
I can only imply that he is actually alive more than anything else.
I thought he would leave, for the sake of Jiayuan and the new life that was about to come, but he suddenly began to contact Xie Ruidong frequently.
He still can't let go of the movies he loves, but why should he give up his ideals because of Xuanxuan and Nuoxi?
Since the original sin is mine, let it all end with me......
Breaking Xuanxuan's thoughts, Xuanxuan not only won't trouble Awen, but also won't do stupid things anymore.
And Arwen can also chase his dream without any worries.
And...... The appearance of the real murderer means that Noshi and Arwen will no longer feel guilty, because everything is premeditated.
I wanted to act realistically, so I drove towards him and Jiayuan, and when Ah Wen was holding Jiayuan to dodge, I reversed and crashed into the car next to them.
Aven's senses are too keen, and he knows me too well, if he is not ruthless, he can easily detect the clues.
However, what I didn't expect was that after the front of my car hit the car next to them, the car tilted and the rear of the car hit Ah Wen and Jia Yuan, who were standing between the cars.
I saw Jiayuan fall forward and hit the car opposite, my heart trembled violently, and I saw her holding the car with both hands and slowly sliding down.
My mind went blank for a moment, and I hurriedly reversed the car, the feeling was indescribable, as if if if I reversed, the car that I had hit would change back to its original shape......
But that was impossible, and when I stepped on the brakes and watched Ah Wen and Jia Yuan, who were helpless not far away, raise their hands and lift the hem of their clothes, the palpable red stung my nerves......
Time will not go back, and what happened will not change, just like when I chose to chase Nuoxi here, just like I met Xuanxuan, just like Xuanxuan killed Jiayi...... Irretrievable......
I clenched my hands tightly on the steering wheel, my ears were ringing, and I paused to bang the gas pedal on the root of my teeth.
I can't go back, I can't go back, I can only go on......
Ah Wen stood up violently and rushed out, standing in front of the car with both hands, blocking Jiayuan behind him, his eyes piercing red, and roaring at me.
"Dean, you're kind of coming at meβ"
"......" I looked back and forth between Ah Wen and Jia Yuan, almost gritting the root of my teeth before swallowing the sour throat.
I took a deep breath, let go of the throttle, turned off the ignition, and turned sideways to open the door.
That's actually not bad, I didn't even use the dagger I prepared before, I'm just sorry for you, Jiayuan.
I jumped out of the car, looked at Arwen, who was standing only five or six meters away from me, and tilted my head slightly and smiled at him, "I can't do anything...... Remember? β
Actually, what I want to say is the feeling of powerlessness...... We can all finally get rid of it.
Arwen rushed at me like crazy and kicked the car door in front of me, I didn't want to block, but everything seemed to be an instinctive reaction, and when I came back to my senses, my arm was already in front of me, but I was still knocked backwards.
Then I grabbed the hem of my shirt, and I saw Arwen's fist towards the left forehead, and I closed my eyes, and there was no pain, only a moment of numbness, and then my head went blank.
Before I came back to my senses, I was thrown out by a force, and before I could stand firmly, my crotch hurt, and before I could fall, someone grabbed my arm and twisted it behind me.
"Uh-" This time it hurt, my muscles were sore, my bones and ligaments were almost rupturing, I grunted, and then I punched my head again, and the pain disappeared, and the world swirled.
In a trance, I was pressed to the ground, and the punches and kicks that fell on me disappeared, and when I pulled away from the vertigo and looked up, I saw Arwen picking up and rushing out.
I saw blood, and the off-white pants made the color of the blood shocking.
She turned her head to look at me, her eyes half-closed, her lips were horribly white, her expression was painful, and there was a look of doubt in her eyes......
My hand, which was cut behind my back, clenched involuntarily for a moment, then let go again, lowered my head, and closed my eyes......
I confessed to all the crimes, including instigating Xuanxuan to kill Jiayi for seven years, and the motive and process were clear.
I don't know why, this acknowledgment, my whole person was loosened, it felt like I had unloaded some heavy baggage, and my heart became so light.
But before I had time to savor the feeling, Noshi appeared, with Zhu Ning and the lawyer, with a pale face, looking like a terminally ill patient.
When she saw me, she yelled at me excitedly, "Are you crazy?!" β
"It should be......" I replied lightly, thinking that she should be blaming me and hating me.
After all, now I not only tried to kill Ah Wen in an attempt, but also instigated her sister Jiayi seven years ago, and also made her and Ah Wen go further and further, didn't I?
However, what I didn't expect was that after a second of pause, she rushed to me before everyone reacted, grabbed my clothes, "Count me begging you, don't talk nonsense, okay?" β
Her voice trembled and her eyes were red, something I had never seen before.
I frowned, a little confused, but it was only for a moment, I lowered my eyes, and replied faintly again, "I didn't talk nonsense, everything is true." β
Because it doesn't seem to matter anymore whether you understand it or not.
"Deanβ"
"Miss Gu, please restrain your emotions, your current behavior is interfering with the suspect." The police spoke out to stop it.
"I didn't interfere with him! He can't instigate murder! No way! Noshi turned his head and yelled at the policeman behind him.
The lawyer and Zhu Ning were both startled, the policeman twisted his eyebrows, and just as he wanted to speak, the lawyer had already returned to his senses and hurriedly played a round.
The scene was a little chaotic, but I didn't know it, Nuo Xi looked at me fixedly for two seconds, and then turned around sharply, "I'll go find Xuanxuan." β
My heart shrank, "It's useless to look for her, I'm telling the truth, she's just a patient." β
Yes, patient, so I'm not worried at all, no one will believe Xuanxuan's words, let alone have legal effect, everything is a foregone conclusion.
When my words fell, Nuo Xi paused, and then her body shook, and Zhu Ning, who was following her, hurriedly supported her, "Miss Gu......"
After two seconds, she slowly turned around, and there was a light of water swirling in her eyes, "No matter what the reason, please don't give up on yourself." β
"......" praying voice, I didn't want to answer, I didn't want to look at her like that, slowly closed my eyes.
Because her heart hurts again, I don't understand why she still holds on, isn't it great?
"I'll get the best lawyer for you, and I'll get things straight!" As the words fell, it was the sound of high heels, which was very unstable.
I slowly lifted my eyes, and I saw her swaying and slender back......
