Chapter 9: Good Innocence

The tip of the nose smelled of disinfectant again.

It was as intense as it smelled in her last moments before she died.

Is it really just a dream?

Li Niantian closed his eyes, the expected pain did not come, as if there was nothing to be afraid of after a person died.

There is even a noisy and muffled chirping of cicadas in my ears.

She turned her head to check the situation, and saw someone she didn't want to see at the moment.

"Awake?"

It's Su Jingqian.

Li Niantian sobered up for a while, and finally regained his senses.

almost fell back into the weakness of self-pity in the previous life.

She collected her emotions and avoided the hand that Su Jingqian reached over to probe her forehead.

"It's uncomfortable and you have to hold on." As if the quarrel a few hours ago didn't exist, Su Jingqian was still gentle, but his tone was a little reproachful, and there was a deep sense of distress, "Did you eat last night?" ”

“…… No. ”

"It's really okay, such a big person, he doesn't say a word, and he doesn't even know how to eat." Su Jingqian complained, and was a little inexplicably spoiled.

When Su Jingqian wants to spoil someone, he can spoil him to the sky.

But when his freshness passed, he also withdrew and left without mercy.

Li Niantian has experienced it.

Therefore, for the tenderness and sweetness that Su Jingqian offered at this time after the first big quarrel between the two because of such a big difference in their opinions on the future development of the company, Li Niantian only felt creepy.

It seems that Su Jingqian has found something else in her.

"You threw away my dinner." Li Niantian indifferently pointed out the facts.

"......" Su Jingqian closed his mouth, and only spoke again after a few seconds, "I thought you had eaten, thinking that it would be unhealthy for you to eat less things bought outside." ”

"I went to your school when I came out of the troupe, and I went to your office after the dance." Li Niantian said again, "You don't need to tell me what happened later, right?" ”

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it," Su Jingqian gave way, "Not next time, okay?" If you want to do this kind of thing in the future, you must first ask for the advice of the dump......"

If it wasn't for the infusion, Li Niantian might have slapped him in the face directly.

But I don't want to say a word more.

Obviously, Su Jingqian didn't think that there were any words or actions between him and Du Wen yesterday that crossed the line between teachers and students, and last night's quarrel finally let her know that it is useless to talk too much about people with different ideas.

"Okay," Su Jingqian saw that she didn't speak, thinking that she was shy, and couldn't help but feel a little better, "Remember to eat in the future, do you hear?" ”

"Look."

"What do you mean?"

Li Niantian was annoyed by his concern for not distinguishing between truth and falsehood at the moment, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "It's just that I'm busy, tired, annoyed, and don't want to eat, so I won't eat." Don't you understand? ”

“……”

"What's wrong? My husband is out and has other members of the opposite sex wear more low-cut clothes, do I still have to go to dinner with him? After flirting with someone of the opposite sex, regardless of my face, in a place where outsiders may come in at any time, and having sex with me, do I still have to cater to him willingly? After that, because I want him to do his company well, don't think about making quick money, and be educated by him, I want to say that he is right? He himself was flirting with the schoolgirls in the office, and he was suspicious of my relationship with my friends, throwing away the dinner my friends bought me. ”

“……”

"Come, Su Jingqian, tell me, can you eat this meal?"

Her eyes were red, and because of anger and grievances, some red blood was crawling under her eyes, but she didn't cry.

"What are you talking about......" Su Jingqian suddenly stood up from the chair, and after walking back and forth in the ward twice, he finally couldn't control his emotions and kicked the chair away.

The corners of the wooden chairs slammed against the tiles attached to the wall, knocking the tiles open a crack.

The loud noise attracted the attention of the passing nurses, and the little nurse came in and advised, "Don't make such a big move in the hospital." ”

After seeing that it was the senior ward and Su Jingqian's face, he swallowed the rest of the words back and gently closed the door.

The cicadas outside the window from the ginkgo trees were even louder.

Su Jingqian's face was extremely pale, he stared at Li Niantian's abdomen for a long time, and finally forced himself to calm down, pointed at the tip of Li Niantian's nose and said, "Do you know that you are responsible for what you say?" Coco Du is just a little girl who has not been out of society, and I have a normal teacher-student relationship with her. Her family conditions are not good, and if she wants to have a stable job after taking the Ph.D., I will help her a little more, why are your ideas so dirty? Do you know how much it affects her? ”

Dirty.

The redness in the corners of his eyes faded.

The midday sun filtered through the window glass of the hospital room and only fell on the balcony, which was still two meters away from the bed.

It couldn't shine on the pale face of the man on the hospital bed.

The floating dust dances in the golden light, which is a cheerful movement.

"Get out of here."

"Dumping...... I didn't mean that......"

"Get out."

Li Niantian calmly turned his gaze away.

Her stomach, which had just calmed down from an intravenous drip, cramped again, and she closed her eyes and endured wave after wave of nausea.

I never thought that the pillow person for three years would use this word to describe her.

"Get out ......"

She curled up in the hospital bed, cold sweat seeping through her hair, clinging to her jade-colored skin.

People who are more than seven meters tall, but because of the strict control of their weight in the dance, when they shrink in a ball, the curvature of the quilt is not as big as the movement of the velvet lying in.

Su Jingqian's heart softened for a moment, but thinking of what she had just said, he still left in a negative mood.

Before leaving, he dropped a sentence -

"You are the eldest lady who was born with a golden spoon in your mouth, how do you know that it is not easy for these little girls who live at the bottom and can only rely on reading to make a good road. I can understand her and want to help her. She studies well, and she is a good seedling for academics in the future, even if she can't do academics, she can enter our company after graduation, and she can also achieve the level of senior executives and become the backbone of my company. I am innocent with her, don't always use your narrow mind to speculate on others. ”

After saying that, he left.

Li Nian listened to the sound of haute couture shoes tapping on the wooden floor, and finally disappeared after the deafening sound of the door closing.

Tears welled up.

She frowned, and the hand that was pillowed on her ear finally couldn't help but press against her aching heart, and pressed for a few breaths to ease her breath.

Really, what a high-sounding accusation.

is also, a good high-sounding innocent sentence.

His eyes gradually became covered with blood.

It was the last day of her last life.

It's the most common day in the middle of winter, in February, and there is snow.

Deserted streets, a few street lamps standing in the wind and snow. The snow on the road was crushed by the wheels that went back and forth, turning it into mud and refreezing into dirty ice by the nighttime temperatures. There was still some white snow left on the sidewalk, and the footprints on the pavement that had not yet been covered by fresh snow meandered to the end of the road.

It is also the most special day in the middle of winter, the first month of the month, Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the day of the family reunion, the neighbors were busy pasting couplets early in the morning, setting off firecrackers, taking out the New Year's goods prepared in the refrigerator, putting them in warm water to thaw, and preparing to gather around the round table in the evening, with the background music of the Spring Festival Gala, and eat a reunion dinner once a year together.

She called him early in the morning, and it was a long list of busy signals.

It's no different from when she usually hits.

The grandfather clock pendulum in the living room struck six times.

At this point, if you don't answer the phone, there is a high probability that you played too crazy last night and haven't gotten up yet.

Li stopped trying to dial his number.

At that time, her body had been crushed by two miscarriages, like a cabbage that had lost its soil and was thrown into the kitchen, slowly losing its moisture, fading its green, and the shriveled lines spread all the way up from the roots, and finally turned into a pool of sticky/greasy rotten water.

I don't know why, she never cooks, and suddenly wants to cook a meal.

She pulled out a mandarin fish from the refrigerator.

The eyes that had not been shining for a long time suddenly lit up.

It was a dish that her mother would cook for her when she was a child.

Dancing children are kept under strict calorie control from an early age, so she can occasionally eat a squirrel mandarin fish topped with a thick sauce, and she can have fun all day long.

So this dish, my mother never faked it to others. Everyone knows that Li Zongming, the head of the Li family, hurts his daughter-in-law to the bones, and Mrs. Li's ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and her hands are white and slender like shallots.

But only the family knows that whenever Li Niantian wants to eat this dish, Mrs. Li will invite the aunt who cooks the rice out of the kitchen, put on an apron herself, cut the fish finely, change the knife to draw out the lines, carry the head and tail of the fish, put it in the pot and fry it slowly.

Once the fish is fried, stir-fry the bottom of the pan with green onions and ginger until fragrant, then thicken it with tomato juice and starch over high heat, pour it over the mandarin fish with the end upturned, and finally sprinkle a handful of peas on top.

At such times, Li Zongming would stand in the corner of the kitchen, cooperating with his wife around the stove, helping to pick up a bowl of water or hand a paring knife.

Li Niantian stood next to the lever on the edge of the living room, and while practicing, he covered his eyes with his hands-

"Oh, it's dead," she muttered, and grinned between her fingers, "no eyes, no eyes." ”

"I don't see it, I see you see a lot." Mrs. Lai, who was blushing cheeks, rushed out of the kitchen and slapped her in the back, "Straighten your back!" ”

"Oh......" Li Niantian did so seriously, and let out a miserable howl the moment Mrs. Li turned her head and was about to go back to the kitchen, "Dad-your wife bullied me!" ”

Then she won the mixed doubles.

Well, that's good.

When she was a girl, Li Nian rubbed her red arm, sat at the dinner table aggrievedly, and began to gobble it up.

Time has passed, and now she is the only one left at the dinner table. The couple who fought and made trouble has long been gone.

She had been preparing for a long time, and the fish was cut crookedly, and when she fried it in the pan, the oil splashes that jumped up burned the back of her hand.

At noon, the mobile phone suddenly rang like crazy, it was Su Jingqian's call back.

"I didn't hear your call in the morning, is there something wrong?"

The squirrel mandarin fish on the cutting board is half prepared.

Li Nian asked in a daze, "Who are you with now?" ”

"Coco Du, what's wrong?" Su Jingqian was very impatient.

"Hmm." Not surprised to answer, Li Niantian said softly, "Hang up." ”

"......" was also stunned, and muttered, "Neurotic." ”

Then there was another busy sound on the phone.

The cold wind of midwinter passed through the open windows, blowing the lace curtains, and the cold snowflakes were sent in, turning into droplets of water in the warm room and falling to the ground in an instant.

She numbly finished frying the plate of squirrel mandarin fish.

When it was brought to the table, a firework suddenly exploded outside the window, and thousands of stars fell in the endless night.

There was a children's joking and laughter in the community, and the adults passing by also said good New Year to each other.

Everything outside the window was bright red and joyful.

And everything in the window was pale and silent.

She set up the dishes and chopsticks, in addition to the one in front of her, there was also the main seat and the position opposite her.

It is the seat where the parents sat before their deaths.

"If you don't come back for the New Year, it's really not presentable, I'll go to him after dinner."

I don't know who I'm talking to.

When the meal was finished, the house bell rang just now.

Twelve.

She went out of the house like a ghost in the midst of fireworks and went out into the street.

On the day of the family reunion, only she, a lonely ghost, was left behind.

It's so comfortable.

A flash of bright light flashed, and the loud crashing sound was muffled by the crackling of fireworks exploding in the sky.

She floated in mid-air, looking at her tattered self beneath her feet.

Suddenly I understood why she had to make a squirrel mandarin fish today.

Sometimes, people have to trust some intuition.

The people in the car walked down, it was Su Jingqian, who was drunk, and Du Wen, who was tall in a slit dress.

“…… Jingqian ...... Good...... It seems to be a master's wife......" Coco Du was frightened and screamed by the tragic scene in front of him.

Su Jingqian, who was also taken aback, woke up from drunkenness, saw Du Wen, who was shaken into chaff, stepped forward to hold the person in his arms, stroked the back of her head, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid." Her parents had long since died, leaving her alone. I have already asked someone to remove the surveillance on this road, I will call someone to deal with it, it's okay, don't be afraid. ”

The two of them, suits, dresses, delicate makeup.

It made a corpse on the ground even more embarrassing.

An ambulance appeared at the end of the road, the green shroud spread out, and the fragments were picked up piece by piece.

High-pressure water trucks scoured the road, and the water bubbled together and flowed into the mouth of the sewer next to it.

From rose, to pale pink, to colorless.

The traces of a person were easily erased in just half an hour.

Du Wen, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, was half-supported and half-hugged by Su Jingqian and sent back to the co-pilot.

In the back seat, a large handful of delicate red roses.

What an innocent one.

Hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and a nurse was stopping: "Miss is a ward here, please don't make such a big noise......"

The nurse's voice hadn't fallen yet, "Bang! Suddenly, the door of Li Niantian's ward was vigorously pushed open, hit the wall and bounced back, almost patting someone on the head.

"I'm really good at you, I haven't contacted you for three days, and you sent yourself to the hospital."
