Chapter 37 Empty Flower Flame

At night, a cool breeze picks up fallen leaves on the streets. Accompanied by a drizzling rain. Lin Yushan was identified from the hospital, and the humid air penetrated into his nose, causing a tingling pain in the wound. She opened the back seat door and got into Xu Mengzhou's car, the air conditioner gradually lowered the humidity in the room, and the person was more awake.

A few hours ago, Xu Mengzhou pulled her out of the counselor's office. Racing against time all the way, he first took her to the Beicheng District Police Station to report the case and explain the situation, and then went to the central hospital with the power of attorney for injury identification.

It will take three working days for the results of the injury evaluation to be available. couldn't bear Xu Mengzhou's anxiety, and he also wanted Lin Yushan to do a CT to confirm whether there were any internal injuries.

The doctor relieved him, saying that Lin Yushan's injuries were mainly eye contusions and obvious scars, and the rest were facial soft tissue contusions, nosebleeds, and some superficial injuries to his limbs. The identification results predict that it will be a slight injury, so pay attention not to let the water touch your face when taking a bath, and change the dressing on time.

It was early in the morning when he returned to Huachen Mansion, Xu Mengzhou swiped his card to enter the door, changed his shoes, and put the trauma medicine prescribed by the hospital on the coffee table. He only poured Lin Yushan a cup of hot water and didn't say a word, got up and turned on the light in the other room upstairs, and began to make the bed.

Lin Yushan sat on the sofa with a steaming water glass in his hand, watching Xu Mengzhou walk in a hurry. He didn't even take off his trench coat, and there were dense droplets of water hanging from it.

From the moment he came out of the counselor's office, Lin Yushan clearly felt that he was exuding a terrifying low pressure all over his body. Hours passed, and Xu Mengzhou didn't say a word except for routine questioning at the police station and hospital.

Lin Yushan sat in the living room awkwardly looking at his back, thinking about doing something.

Every time Xu Mengzhou passed in front of her, she wanted to get up and stop him, but Xu Mengzhou passed directly past her as if she didn't see it, and her words were swallowed together. The soft sofa also seems to be turned into a pegboard, and it is difficult to sit still.

Lin Yushan took a small sip, and a glass of water finally bottomed out. She got up to go to the water dispenser to get water, but when she turned around, she happened to bump into Xu Mengzhou, who was holding a bed sheet and quilt cover.

The duvet cover was soaked instantly. Lin Yushan's temples twitched, pulling the muscles at the corners of her eyes, and she lowered her head and hissed in pain, her brows tightened.

Xu Mengzhou took a breath and stuck it in his throat again, put the sheets and quilt covers on the sofa, and said helplessly: "Let's stay here for one night today, you look like this, I really don't worry about letting you go out to live alone." ā€

Lin Yushan breathed a sigh of relief when he finally spoke.

"You go take a shower first, and then take the medicine after washing." Xu Mengzhou went to the bedroom drawer and found a hair dryer, aimed at the small piece of the bed sheet that was wet, and blew it, "I have already asked for sick leave when I was at school." You have a good rest these days, and I will go to your school tomorrow morning to see how it is. Go to bed early. ā€

"Okay." Lin Yushan subconsciously stood up and walked to the bathroom, but he didn't take a few steps before he remembered something and froze in place.

Xu Mengzhou caught a glimpse of her hesitating in place, and his heart was irritable, "What are you looking for, towel?" Speak when you need to. ā€

Lin Yushan slowly walked back to the living room with the corner of his clothes, "I... It's enough for me to wash my face and brush my teeth. ā€

Xu Mengzhou's eyes closed, put down the sheets and hair dryer and walked to her, his tone was a little impatient: "The clothes are all gray, and the sleeves are torn." Are you going to go straight to sleep without taking a shower? ā€

His voice hung above him like a countdown, as if it would explode if he didn't answer.

Lin Yushan had to whisper.

"I—I don't have any clothes to change ......"

A few syllables were as small as mosquitoes, but he could hear them clearly.

Xu Mengzhou looked at him.

The incident happened suddenly, in order to collect evidence, he raced against time to go through the procedure, he didn't have time to think about the details, and pulled her out of school.

I thought everything was arranged, but I forgot about her dirty clothes.

Xu Mengzhou's tone finally softened, "... I'm going to the house over there and get you two pieces of clothing right now. ā€

"No need." Lin Yushan raised his eyes to look at him: "Have you forgotten, after Aunt Shen's funeral, you asked me to go back and pack my things once, and all of them moved back to school, and there is nothing left for me over there." ā€

The mall outside has long since closed, and it's too late to buy a new one. It's so late now, it's not convenient to contact anyone.

Not to mention women's clothes in this house, even his own clothes are not very many.

Xu Mengzhou raised his eyes.

"Wait a minute."

Then he walked into his bedroom.

When he reappeared, he had two more pieces of clothing in his hands, a white shirt and washed casual jeans.

Xu Mengzhou coughed lightly, he fixed two meters away from Lin Yushan, stretched out his hand and handed over the clothes.

"I just moved out, and there are still a lot of things missing here, so I'm going to wear mine at once."

Lin Yushan's face suddenly turned red, and his heart beat as fast as a drum. She was embarrassed to stretch out her hand, and she was afraid that Xu Mengzhou would have a hypobaric attack. A pair of hands are in a dilemma between receiving and not connecting.

With a heavy palm, Xu Mengzhou had already taken the initiative to stuff the clothes into her hands.

"Disposable towels and disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste are on the third floor of the mirror cabinet. If you don't want to use shower gel and shampoo in the bathroom, there are unopened travel packs on the first floor of the mirror cabinet. If there's anything else you can help with, call me before you go into the bathroom. ā€

After speaking, Xu Mengzhou turned around and went to get busy.

Lin Yushan took a deep breath, his mind racing, thinking about what he didn't miss before entering the bathroom.

She took everything she could. After all the confirmation was correct, Lin Yushan held the clothes and toiletries like a small mountain, and slowly moved into the bathroom with small steps.

After all, she didn't want to call Xu Mengzhou over to give her something after entering the bathroom.

Turning on the shower, she carefully avoided the current to ensure that the bruised areas of her face did not get wet. When I applied shampoo and body wash, I moved to the painful parts of my body again, and it took more than an hour to take a bath that I usually can take in less than half an hour.

After getting dressed, she was so tired that she felt that all the bones of her limbs were not her own.

Lin Yushan turned on the hair dryer and gently combed it with his fingers until it dried thoroughly while blowing.

She scrubbed her hands with the dirty clothes she had changed and stuck her head out of the bathroom. After confirming that Xu Mengzhou was not in the living room, he lightly ran to the balcony to find a hanger and hung his clothes in the corner.

"You don't have to put away the clothes you have changed, I will take you to buy a new one tomorrow."

Lin Yushan was startled by the sudden low voice and turned around.

The package of trauma medicine on the coffee table was opened, and a medical kit was added next to it.

Xu Mengzhou has changed into a light gray pullover sweatshirt with a soft texture, exuding a sense of home.

He sat on the couch without looking up, and took out a packet of cotton swabs, alcohol, and an unknown bottle of medicinal oil from it.

"Come here."

Xu Mengzhou raised his eyes and beckoned her to come to the living room to take medicine.

Suddenly, I saw her standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and her eyes were a little stunned.

The first thing I saw was her injuries.

The right eye socket was the most badly injured, and under the eye was a black scar. The corners of the lips are also slightly swollen, and there are small patches of irregular bruises scattered on the cheeks and collarbones.

The rest of the scars were obscured by his white shirt.

A fluffy black hair scattered on the pure white cloth, the contrast between extremes is so beautiful that it is impossible to ignore.

The man's shirt was naturally a little big for her, the hem of the shirt was loosely draped over her jeans, and the extra sleeves were rolled up to reveal slender wrists with red scratches.

It seems to be taller and thinner than before. Is she only tall and doesn't grow flesh?

Maybe I haven't seen him for three years, and it's too rusty.

was so unfamiliar that her changes were obvious enough in Xu Mengzhou's eyes, even exaggerated.

Lin Yushan is indeed not what he used to be.

He was finally willing to come to one conclusion: she had changed.

More specifically, the change refers to her appearance and appearance.

In short, no matter how deeply ingrained Lin Yushan's image of an adolescent girl was in his heart before, the facts in front of him made him unable to refute.

In the past three years, the ignorant girl has quietly grown in the corner he can't see, growing into a rose.

She grew into a woman.

This strong sense of impact made it impossible for him to be as comfortable in front of her as usual.

Xu Mengzhou began to suspect that it might not be a wise decision to bring her back here today.

Lin Yushan didn't know what he was staring at himself, and thought he was angry, so he put down the hanger and walked towards the living room.

The phone rang suddenly.

Xu Mengzhou found that the phone had fallen into the backpack on the other end of the sofa, so he asked her to bring the phone over.

Lin Yushan hurriedly took out his mobile phone and handed it to him.

Xu Mengzhou got up and went to the kitchen to answer the phone. The conversation didn't sound real, as if it was a matter of work.

Lin Yushan was attracted by the contents of his bag.

A dark red corner is revealed in the zipper of the compartment, and the leather texture is matte and shiny, which looks like some kind of ID.

A thought flashed in his heart, and Lin Yushan took out the red document and turned it over.

There are three silver words engraved on it.

"Divorce Certificate"

Her pupils contracted sharply.

Breathing immediately stopped. She held her breath, and with her other hand carefully turned the inside page, the steel seal of the Beicheng District Civil Affairs Bureau was firmly printed on this document.

Lin Yushan glanced at the date of issuance, it was today.

An indescribable complex emotion welled up in my heart. She wanted to vent something, but she couldn't make a sound when she cried or laughed, so she could only rub the red document hard.

It is as if this paper proves that he can get rid of the hidden sins that he has buried in the deepest part of his heart for many years.

"What are you looking at?"

Xu Mengzhou hung up the phone and walked to the living room, curious about what Lin Yushan was looking down on. When she saw what she was holding in her hand, her face immediately sank.

Lin Yushan stood up and looked at Xu Mengzhou's gaze without hesitation.

Her eyes, which had been lost before, were now filled with light.

He glanced down at the ID in his hand, and then looked up at the person in front of him. She repeated the action mechanically, as if she couldn't believe it.

Xu Mengzhou lowered his eyes, "Put it down..."

But the person on the other side has lost his soul.

"I told you to put it down." His tone was aggravated.

Xu Mengzhou snatched the divorce certificate directly from her hand and threw it into the corner of the sofa.
