Chapter 7: Childhood Shadows

There was really a patient on the floor where Tong Yaoyao died, and after Qiao Zhanbei came, he looked for a relationship and temporarily helped her change a ward, and after settling her down, he was ready to rush back to the compound.

"Brother Qiao, will you stay with me tonight? My aunt took a leave of absence, and I was scared. Tong Yaoyao hugged his arm, slapped her big thin face up, blinked her big eyes, and said coquettishly.

"Yaoyao, I haven't divorced yet, it's not appropriate to stay." Qiao Zhanbei said in a deep voice.

At this time, a thunderclap sounded, Tong Yaoyao shrank straight into Qiao Zhanbei's arms, and grabbed his shirt helplessly with both hands, "But, Brother Qiao, I'm afraid of thunder, and I won't be able to sleep." ”

Qiao Zhanbei twisted his eyebrows, raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said in a deep voice: "When you fall asleep, I'll leave." ”

"Hmm!" Tong Yaoyao nodded movingly, just left his arms, his feet were weak, and he hugged him tightly.

"Brother Qiao, my leg is numb." She frowned, looking very uncomfortable.

Qiao Zhanbei picked her up horizontally and put her on the bed.

"Brother Qiao......" Tong Yaoyao's arms were still around his neck, and a pair of innocent eyes locked him directly.

"Go to sleep." Qiao Zhanbei took her arm away and said incomprehensibly.

He pulled a chair and sat down, pulled out his phone, "You go to sleep, I'll reply to a few emails from work." ”

Tong Yaoyao closed his eyes, full of annoyance, he was so boring before, he was always busy studying!

After replying to the email, Qiao Zhanbei saw that Tong Yaoyao seemed to be asleep, looked at the time, and prepared to go back.

"Brother Qiao, don't ...... Save me...... Woohoo......"

As soon as he got up, Tong Yaoyao seemed to have a nightmare, crying and whispering, waving her hands in the air.

"Yaoyao, I'm here!" Thinking that she might have dreamed of the scene of a car accident, Qiao Zhanbei's thick eyebrows tightened and he held her hand.

Tong Yaoyao seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, grabbed his hand tightly, opened her eyes, looked at him, and said with a sob:

"Brother Qiao, I, I dreamed, I drove to you and explained to you about the breakup...... I, I didn't pay attention, there was a big truck on the other side, and ...... Woohoo......"

"Yaoyao, don't be afraid...... It's all over......" Qiao Zhanbei gently patted her back and whispered comfortingly.

Outside, lightning and thunder roared, the wind was roaring, Ye Mian was curled up alone in the quilt, not daring to move, not daring to breathe.

At this time, she seemed to go back to the rainy night when she was a child, when she was only four or five years old, she was locked out by her mother, and no matter how she cried or screamed, she refused to let her into the house.

She was soaking wet and drenched in torrential rain, cowering in the corner of the courtyard, lightning flashed, and the shadows of the tall trees were terrible like ghosts, and the teeth and claws were dancing, and the deafening thunder seemed to rip her off......

"Mother......" The little girl's weak cry sounded in her ears, and she saw that she crawled to the door and pushed the door open, soaking wet.

It was herself at the age of four or five.

She saw a pair of feet through the crack in the door, and further up, her mother dangling in mid-air......

Mom left her and hanged herself.

The terrible scene frightened her so much that she rolled out of bed, and her body knocked over the enamel lamp on the bedside table, shattering to the ground.

At this moment, there was a loud thunder, and she instantly seemed to be frozen, curled up at the head of the bed, holding her breath, and looking around in horror.

I don't know how long later, when she felt that she was about to die, a voice in her head reminded her: Breathe, if you don't breathe, you will die!

She knew she had to breathe, but she couldn't.

It felt like I was stuck in a terrible nightmare, and I couldn't wake up.

"Ye Mian!"

An anxious male voice rang out, and she fell into a sturdy embrace, a familiar aura enveloping her.

Ye Mian's godless pupils gradually gained focus, and the blurred face in front of him gradually became clear, it was the unforgettable handsome face, it was him.

Qiao Zhanbei.

A ray of light in her bleak life.

He's coming.

It was dark in front of him, and Ye Mian lost consciousness.

In the ward, Tong Yaoyao dropped everything that could be dropped, and the ground was in a mess.

Her mind was full of Qiao Zhanbei's appearance when he received a call from Grandpa Qiao.

He held the phone tightly in his hand, his joints turned white from exertion, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of his soul and froze there in a daze.

"Brother Qiao, what's going on?"

"Mianmian, something happened......" His voice was hoarse and trilled, and his eyes were red.

His appearance at that time really scared her, and after reacting, he hurriedly said, "Then, then you go back quickly!" ”

At that time, she could not keep him, so she could only follow his thoughts and let him go.

The more Tong Yaoyao thought about it, the more angry she became, and her heart became more and more panicked, he and Ye Mian had been together for three years, would he already be tempted by that hillbilly?

Ye Mian woke up the next morning, in the hospital ward, with a needle on the back of his hand and a drip.

She has always been afraid of thunder since she was a child, and every time there is thunder, she has to wear earplugs to block her ears and hide in a small place to defend.

But she couldn't remember why she was so afraid of thunder.

Last night, she remembered it all, and she remembered how her mother died.

It was on that thunderous night that my mother locked her in the yard and hanged herself in the house. She was only four or five years old, and through the crack in the door, she saw the picture of her tragic death.

"Ye Mian?" A low, hoarse male voice rang in my ears.

She turned her head and faced the man's handsome face, his eyes were bloodshot, the smell of cigarettes on his body was very strong, and he was still wearing yesterday's shirt and trousers, looking wrinkled and lacking his usual delicacy.

She remembered that when she was suffocated with fear, she fell into his secure embrace.

After marriage, every thunderstorm night, as long as she drilled into his arms, she was not afraid.

His embrace can give her a sense of security.

Didn't he go to accompany Tong Yaoyao last night? How did you come back again? Did you remember that she was afraid of thunder and rushed back?

Seeing that she woke up, Qiao Zhanbei breathed a sigh of relief, "Is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

He used to know that she was afraid of thunder, but after getting married, when it thundered, she didn't even have to wear earplugs, and he thought that her problem had already been cured.

Last night, if the maid hadn't heard the commotion coming from their room and had the heart to go over and take a look, she might have ......

Ye Mian shook his head slightly.

Qiao Zhanbei was not at ease and went to call a doctor.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, Tong Yaoyao, who was also hospitalized in the same hospital, pushed the door in.

"What are you doing here?" Ye Mian didn't give her a good look.

Tong Yaoyao clasped her arms around her chest and looked at her condescendingly: "Mianmian, what is your attitude towards me?" Last night, I asked Brother Qiao to go back. ”

Her husband was given by her, and her life was also given by her, where did she get the qualifications to throw a face with her and fight with her?

Tong Yaoyao glanced at Ye Mian proudly and walked out of the ward.

Ye Mian didn't take her words to heart.

After a while, the nanny from the grandparents' house brought breakfast and told him about last night, and Ye Mian realized that it was his grandfather who called Qiao Zhanbei and he rushed back.

There were only the two of them left in the ward, Ye Mian looked at Qiao Zhanbei, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "Thank you...... Sorry to bother you. ”

Qiao Zhanbei heard her say this, her face sank, what did she say?
