Chapter 81: Hand in Hand

This old acquaintance is Li Tang.

Li Tang is still the same as back then, round, chubby, and happy.

"Yo, isn't this a Qingwu girl?" He recognized Chen Qingwu at a glance.

"Cousin Li, long time no see."

"yes, long time no see, you're also coming to the funeral?" After asking this, he patted his head, "Oh, yes, you and Ah Cheng are high school classmates, look at my memory."

"You're ...... now"

"Yes, I'm Ah Cheng's driver, and I've been working with him for several years." When Li Tang said this, his tone became full of gratitude.

After Duan Jincheng entered the showbiz and gradually became popular, his agent Sister Fan offered to help him find a driver, at that time, Li Tang was still working as a warehouse keeper in the supermarket, tired and tired every day, but the salary was not enough for him to support his family, when Duan Jincheng found him, let alone driving, he didn't even touch the car at all.

How does such a person be a driver?

Of course, Sister Fan disagreed, feeling that Duan Jincheng was making trouble for herself.

But Duan Jin Cheng insisted on hiring Li Tang as a driver, he first paid for him to apply for a driving school, let him learn to drive and take the certificate, and during the period when he first took up the post after the certificate, whenever he wanted to run a long distance, go on a high-speed or drive a remote road, Duan Jin Cheng drove by himself, and Li Tang sat in the passenger seat to observe.

After tossing like this for about a year, Li Tang was really qualified for the job of a driver.

Although Li Tang's skills are not good, Duan Jincheng's salary is very high, even if he can only sit in the passenger seat and watch Duan Jincheng drive by himself, this salary is four or five times that of Li Tang's odd jobs outside, not to mention that he actually took up his post later. Li Tang can be regarded as turning over because of this and living a more decent life, not to mention anything else, at least, when the luxury car of millions of dollars is still out of reach of others, he has already used Duan Jin Cheng's light to drive casually.

"Why haven't I seen you before?" Since Chen Qingwu met Duan Jincheng, he hadn't seen Li Tang, and Hu Tu was driving for him.

"Some time ago, my wife gave birth to a big fat boy for me, and Ah Cheng gave me more than two months of maternity leave, no, the vacation just ended."

Giving men more than two months of paternity leave, no company can have such good benefits.

Duan Jin really put everyone who had been good to him in his heart, and repaid them in different ways.

"Cousin Li, congratulations on giving birth to a big fat boy."

"Thank you, thank you, it's all thanks to Ah Cheng giving me this job, otherwise, I wouldn't even be able to find my wife......

"It's going to rain, let's go up and talk about it." Duan Jin Cheng interrupted their conversation.

"Okay."

As soon as they got into the car, it really started to rain.

The rain was very urgent, like an emotion that had been held for several days, and finally it was time to release it, and there was a willful posture that did not care.

It was quiet in the car.

After getting in the car, Li Tang asked for the address and began to focus on driving, without speaking again.

Duan Jin Cheng elbowed and looked out the window, his whole person was still shrouded in sadness.

Chen Qingwu sat beside Duan Jincheng, glanced at his hand resting on his lap, and wanted to shake it and give him some comfort, but the hug in the corridor had already spent all her courage. ap.

---

The car drove to the door of the B&B and stopped.

"Is this the place?" Li Tang asked.

"Yes."

Chen Qingwu and Duan Jincheng went upstairs to clean up their things and came down to check out.

"Thank you boss for making it convenient these days." Duan Jincheng said to Zheng Siyue.

He didn't bring his ID card, and he originally said that he would only stay for one day, but in the end, he stayed for three more days.

"It's okay, it's okay, no one wants to encounter this kind of thing." Duan Jincheng was still wearing a mask, and Zheng Siyue didn't know who he was, but she felt that these eyes were extraordinarily deep: "Besides, Qingwu's assistant is our friend, and you are welcome to come back next time."

"Okay, thank you."

Zheng Sizhe also came out of the studio to see them off.

"Go back and get some rest." He said to Chen Qingwu.

Chen Qingwu's dark circles have visibly deepened with the naked eye in the past two days, and he is very haggard.

"Well, I'll be in touch later."

"Okay."

Zheng Sizhe raised his hand again and rubbed Chen Qingwu's heart.

Seeing this, Duan Jin Cheng looked away and walked out of the door first.

"Then I'm leaving, Sister Yue, Sizhe, bye." Chen Qingwu waved at Zheng Siyue and Zheng Sizhe.

Although this trip lasted two more days than originally planned, in fact, they didn't have time to sit down and have a good chat, and even the lunch carefully prepared by Sister Yue that day, Chen Qingwu only drank a bowl of soup, which was a bit regrettable to think about.

"Bye-bye, next time."

"Okay."

The rain is still falling, and the rain that is coming from the head of the head makes people can't open their eyes.

Li Tang came down with an umbrella to help Chen Qingwu set up the suitcase, and opened the car door for her.

As soon as Chen Qingwu got into the car, he saw Zheng Sizhe holding an umbrella and chasing him out.

He walked to the side of the car and knocked on the window on Chen Qingwu's side.

"Qingwu, wait a minute, I forgot that I still have something for you." Zheng Sizhe said.

Chen Qingwu pushed the car door and got out of the car.

"What's that?"

The rain fell on Chen Qingwu's body, and her shoulders quickly became cold.

Zheng Sizhe leaned the big umbrella towards her, pulled her under his umbrella, and the two faced each other, close together.

"Didn't you always say that your legs were sore when it rained? When I went to Hengshan some time ago, I heard that there was a very powerful village doctor who specialized in treating leg injuries, I went to visit him, and told me about your situation, he gave me a jar of external medicine, saying that it can relieve the symptoms of soreness on rainy days, I don't know if this medicine is effective or not, you take it back and try it, if it really works, I will take you to Hengshan another day."

Chen Qingwu heard Zheng Sizhe suddenly talk about his legs, and turned back to look at Duan Jin Cheng's car in a little panic, the black Cullinan was washed out of a sense of coldness in the rain, she just couldn't see the people in the car from this angle, but she guessed that with the sound insulation of this car, Duan Jin Cheng shouldn't be able to hear what they were saying.

Yes, there was silence in the car.

There was only the sound of wipers waving their teeth and claws on the front windshield.

Li Tang looked at the two people under the umbrella from the rearview mirror.

"Ah Cheng, who is that man? Sister Qingwu's boyfriend?" His tone was a bit gossipy.

Duan Jin Cheng didn't answer, just quietly looked in the rearview mirror, Zheng Sizhe stuffed something into Chen Qingwu's hand, and Chen Qingwu immediately put the thing in his bag, as if he was afraid of being seen, very precious.

He looked away, not wanting to look again.

"Oh, it's so fast." Li Tangwu sighed to himself, "I think that when the two of you were still students, Qingwu followed you every day to make up classes, afraid that you would be hungry at night and send you snacks, everyone can see that she is interesting to you, now ten years have passed, you have become a big star, she has a boyfriend, you have grown up."

Duan Jin Cheng didn't see an expression, but just said to Li Tang, "Remind me, I'm leaving."

"Okay."

Li Tang tapped the horn.

Chen Qingwu realized that the horn sound was urging her, she clutched the jar of medicine in her bag, and immediately said to Zheng Sizhe, "Thank you Sizhe, then I'll go first."

"Okay."

Chen Qingwu opened the car door and got into the car again.

Her shoulders were wet from the rain, the car was air-conditioned, and as soon as she got into the car, she couldn't hold back her sneezing.

"I'm sorry." She covered her mouth and nose with her hands and rummaged through her bag for tissues.

But I've cried too many times in the past two days, and the tissues have long been used up.

Duan Jincheng glanced at her, first handed over a blue and white handkerchief, and then pulled out a light blanket from his side and threw it on her lap.

The handkerchief and blanket have a smell of bergamot, like bitter orange with sweetness, sweet with a unique bitter aroma, inexplicably healing.

"Thank you." Chen Qingwu said.

Duan Jin Cheng didn't speak, just leaned back his neck and closed his eyes.

---

The car headed north.

Outside the window, it was stormy, and Cullinone reached for the stars, and it was as peaceful and dreamy as another world.

Chen Qingwu quietly looked at the bright stars above her head, and occasional meteors flashed in front of her, which made her feel even more delusional that she suddenly didn't know where she was.

Sleepiness soon swept over.

It's been nearly a week since this month, she only sleeps three or four hours every night, and yesterday she and Duan Jincheng kept a vigil for Teacher Hou, and they didn't close their eyes all night.

She was so tired, she could still breathe when there were many people, but now that she was quiet, her brain was buzzing in an instant, her limbs were sore, and her whole person was weak.

Chen Qingwu turned on the mute of his mobile phone and began to sleep with his eyes closed.

Within ten minutes, there was a slight snoring in her breath.

Duan Jin Cheng didn't fall asleep, he just closed his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the voice beside him, he opened his eyes and looked at her.

Li Tang also looked back at Chen Qingwu while taking advantage of the red light, and chuckled: "Sister Qingwu is okay, this snoring is like a little pig in my milk yard."

Duan Jincheng made a "shhhh

In the past two days, she has been running around with him, doing her best to take care of everything, and she has kept vigil with him for Teacher Hou at night, and she didn't even have a chance to touch the pillow.

He motioned for Li Tang to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner in the carriage, leaned over, and gently pulled the thin blanket on her lap up.

Chen Qingwu slept crookedly, the whole person seemed to be weak and boneless, without any support, Duan Jin Cheng just touched her with such a light movement, and she leaned in the direction he was sitting.

There was actually a distance between the two, but Duan Jin Cheng subconsciously pushed his shoulders over to support her head, and the fluffy hair on her head brushed against his chin, but this subtle touch startled the reaction of the pores all over his body.

For a moment, he thought he had been electrocuted.

The man on his shoulder didn't react, he didn't move.

Leaning on his shoulder like this is obviously much more comfortable than leaning on the fulcrum just now, and Chen Qingwu's snoring was also muted with her.

But Duan Jin Cheng's movement of leaning over and raising his shoulders to support her was actually very difficult, and he insisted for twenty minutes, and his left shoulder had already affected the left half of his neck and the left half of his arm, and the whole piece was numb and stiff.

"Ah Cheng, move towards her." Li Tang couldn't look at it either.

This action is unbearable for anyone.

There was no way, Duan Jin Cheng could only quietly hold up Chen Qingwu's face with his palm, so that her head temporarily hung in the air for a few seconds with the support of his palm, and he took advantage of these few seconds to quickly move closer to her, sit down next to her, and then quietly put her head back on his shoulder after sitting firmly.

I thought she would wake up after this operation, but instead of that, she chirped and put her arm across his thigh in her sleep.

Duan Jin froze.

The position of Chen Qingwu's arm is really a bit embarrassing, and if he is not careful, he may alarm a certain beast in his body.

Duan Jincheng took a deep breath, raised his hand slightly, and flicked her arm outward, but she still shook it restlessly, he pursed his lips, and simply held her hand directly.

Her hands are slender, white and tender, very soft to the touch, like holding a piece of tofu, so that people dare not use force.

It was the first time he had held her hand so brazenly.

Duan Jincheng's ears were flushed with anger.

The car was still heading north, entering the territory of Chu City, the rain stopped, and without the cover of the rain curtain, the world outside the window suddenly became clear.

The scenery passes in front of you, the plains and lakes, the green trees and flowers, you name it.

But Duan Jin Cheng had no intention of looking out the window, because his most beautiful scenery was beside him.

If he could, he hoped that the road would never end.

---

More than two hours later, the car stopped in front of Chen Qingwu's house.

Li Tang turned around and saw Duan Jincheng and Chen Qingwu head to head, holding hands, and both of them were asleep.

This picture really shocked him.

What's going on? Why are you still holding hands?

Doesn't Qingwu girl have a boyfriend? So what is Ah Cheng? Prying into the corner?

Hu Tu saw Duan Jincheng's car stop at the door on the second floor, and immediately ran down.

Li Tang saw Hu Tu coming, for fear that he would see this intimate scene in the car, so he quickly started the car and continued to walk on the road in front of him.

"Eh, eh...... What's going on?" Hutu watched Cullinan go away, scratching his head, "Where are you going to go when you just came back?"

The sound of Li Tang starting the car woke up Chen Qingwu, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that she was leaning on Duan Jincheng and holding hands with him, so frightened that she hurriedly sat up and drew her hands, creating the illusion that nothing had happened.

Duan Jin Cheng was awakened by her movements, opened his eyes and looked out the window.

"Not there yet?"

"It's almost there." Li Tang is serious.

Duan Jin Cheng loosened his neck and turned his head to look at Chen Qingwu, who was sitting with her hands clasped on her knees, as if she had done something wrong.

"Have you sinned?" He asked.

"Huh?"

"You look like you've sinned."

Chen Qingwu immediately let go of the handshake, adjusted his sitting posture, and laughed dryly: "No, I just found that it was raining so heavily in Qinghe, but Chu Cheng didn't even get wet, so I didn't react a little."

You can't go wrong with chatting when you're awkward.

Duan Jincheng didn't answer, sat back in his place, and distanced himself from her.

The car circled around the highway where Duan Jin Cheng usually ran in the morning, and then circled back to Chen Qingwu's door.

Hutu was still standing under the date palm tree, and when he saw them get out of the car, he opened his arms and shouted, "You're finally back!" I'm going to kill you!"

In fact, they only went out for four days, but Hutu was left alone to guard his home, and it felt like half a century had passed.

Chen Qingwu got out of the car and walked into the yard, and inexplicably felt like a world away.

In just a few days, they experienced a life and death and lost their beloved division commander.

She turned her head to look at Duan Jincheng.

Duan Jin Cheng frowned slightly, his stubble appeared slightly, and he inexplicably had a decadent and languishing temperament, looking like he was several years older.

"Duan Jincheng, I know that you are still sad in your heart, but life is originally a process of continuous farewell, and we can only accept the rules of birth, old age, sickness and death." Chen Qingwu said.

Duan Jin Cheng nodded silently.

"Then you should be happy, don't always frown, Teacher Hou loves to worry, he won't be at ease when he sees you like this."

Duan Jincheng nodded again.

Hu Tu and Li Tang both came over and patted Duan Jin Cheng on the shoulder, silently comforting him.

The dead are gone, and those who are alive should look forward.

"Okay, okay, you're all back, don't be sad, let's think about what to eat for the night?" Hutu said.

No matter what, life goes on.

"I'm not eating, I'm going to sleep." Chen Qingwu said.

Although she slept in the car for a while, she was still very tired, and her whole body was weak and weak.

"I'm going to sleep too." Duan Jincheng said.

"Huh? Are you going to sleep together?" Hutu has a quick mouth.

Duan Jin Cheng glanced at Hu Tu.

Hutu immediately slapped his mouth, "No, I didn't mean that, I mean, you don't eat?"

"Don't eat it, I'll talk about it when I wake up."

Chen Qingwu went upstairs to wash her hair and take a bath, and just dried her hair and was about to catch up on sleep, when there was a knock on the door, she went to open the door and saw Duan Jincheng standing at the door, holding her charger in his hand.

"Charger." He handed her back the charger

"Hmm."

Chen Qingwu took the charger and looked at Duan Jincheng.

He should have also taken a bath, his stubble was shaved clean, except for a little fatigue between his eyebrows, and the whole person no longer had the worrying temperament when he got out of the car.

"Teacher Chen, let's continue the class tomorrow." He looked at Chen Qingwu.

"Okay."

"Since you said that Teacher He is better at lettering than you, then from tomorrow, Teacher He will teach me lessons."
