Chapter 107 Short Warmth

Lu Zhengnan's hand shook violently.

Ye Chuxiao also noticed something was wrong, and asked him what happened with his mouth.

He shook his head slowly, looked out of the window, and tried his best to calm his voice: "Then what's going on now?"

"Still in the hospital for emergency treatment. Your dad just got out of the hospital the day before yesterday. He heard that he couldn't do it today. It's a mess now. Come back quickly..." Mother Lu said in a hurry, and hung up the phone.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chuxiao looked at his gloomy face and gently shook his hand.

"Something happened at home, I have to go back to Beijing." He stood up, but Ye Chuxiao didn't let go of his hand, and his tone sank: "What's the matter? You kept hiding it from me so repeatedly What are you doing?"

She is angry.Lu Zhengnan looked at her, knowing that the matter had come to this point, in fact, the paper could no longer contain the flames, so he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Shiman got AIDS and committed suicide."

Ye Chuxiao's eyes widened in shock, unable to respond.

It took a while for her to gradually come back to her senses, and then recalling what he said just now that Qi Zhen was in trouble, she finally understood: "Did Qi Zhen also..."

"He's not sure yet." Lu Zhengnan sighed: "The doctor said it will take a while to find out."

Ye Chuxiao murmured "Oh my God" before being speechless.

Lu Zhengnan pressed her shoulder: "I have to go back for a few days, you stay at home, take good care of Mi Lier, and take good care of yourself."

"You go." Ye Chuxiao nodded, watching him go out to pack his things, and just sat still.

The things Yi Shiman and the others did deserve retribution, but the retribution came too violently and tragically, and she still couldn't bear it.

And Qi Zhen... She thought of Mi Li'er, and her heart ached.

how so……

Lu Zhengnan left that night and arrived at the hospital the next morning.

Shiman was sent to the hospital by the hotel staff last night. When she was found, she had taken a lot of sleeping pills.

When the staff notified the family according to the number in her mobile phone, the old man almost collapsed, and then he suffered a heart attack again and fell down.

Today, they lie unconscious in two wards in the same hospital.

When Lu's mother saw him, she kept whining and complaining, but Lu Zhengnan simply dealt with it a few words, and went to see the old man. He was lying there wearing an oxygen mask, and he no longer had the power of the past. He was just a dying old man. .

Lu Zhengnan sat on the edge of the bed and held his hand sadly. After holding it for a long time, he slowly let go, and got up to look at Shiman.

Entering the ward, seeing him, Shi's mother rushed forward and cried bitterly, and asked helplessly, "What should I do...Zhengnan...What should I do..."

This person whom he has hated for many years, at this moment, he only feels sorry for her.

He looked at Shi Man on the bed again, and saw that she had lost a lot of weight, her face was as pale as paper, and she was a different person from before.

With a heavy heart, he came out and stood at the end of the corridor, silent for a long time...

The old man woke up at noon that day, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was: "How is Xiaoman?"

"The doctor said that there is no danger to life." Lu Zhengnan replied.

He grasped Lu Zhengnan's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face: "It's all my fault, my fault!"

"Dad, don't think so." Lu Zhengnan comforted him, but he was also sad in his heart.

Then, the old man insisted on going to see Shiman, so Lu Zhengnan accompanied him there, and met Lu's mother at the door, she wanted to stop her, but she didn't dare, and complained angrily after they left.

Shiman has also woken up at this moment, and Shi's mother is sitting next to her, crying and asking her why she is so stupid, but she is staring straight at the ceiling, silent and expressionless.

"Xiaoman, why did you..." The old man held the door frame and sighed.

Mother Shi hurried over to support him, and sat down on the chair.

"Xiaoman..." The old man shouted again, wanting to shake Shiman's hand, but just as she was about to touch it, she pulled it away.

"I'm so dirty now, you clean people, don't touch me." She said coldly.

Shi Mu was trembling with anger: "I told you to go out and play with those dubious people. If you get this kind of disease, how will you see people in the future?"

"I'm shameless." Shiman said with a smile: "That's why I think I'll just die. If you die early, and there are fewer people who find out, you can also save yourself from embarrassing me. Isn't that good? You still want to die?" Why are you saving me so much?"

Her words were cold-blooded, yet desolate, and everyone in the room fell silent, feeling desolate.

"Treat it." Lu Zhengnan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Some people have this disease, and they live for more than ten or twenty years?"

Shiman was shocked and turned to look at him.

His expression was very indifferent, the same as his usual attitude towards her, without any warmth: "You dare to die, don't you dare to live?"

Shiman stared blankly at him, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly crazily threw all the things on the cabinet at him, crying and shouting: "I hate you, Lu Zhengnan, why do you care about me... Why do you want me to live...you don't always...hate me...never...deny me..." At the end, she was sobbing that she couldn't speak.

He just stood there quietly, watching her cry and let her go crazy.

When she finally calmed down, he still didn't say a word, helped the old man to leave, went out, and let the nurse who was guarding outside the door in fear, go in and give her an infusion.

When Shiman saw the nurse, he struggled a bit, but in the end, he just turned his face to the side without moving his arms, and let her give him an injection...

And the next day, Qi Zhen, who heard the news, also returned to Beijing. When he arrived at the ward, Shiman was receiving an infusion.

Before the people around could react, he stepped forward and pulled out the needle in Shiman's hand.

Blood gushed out from that spot, and Shiman stared blankly at his hands not moving.

"A person like you, why are you still living in this world?" Qi Zhen's cruel words made Shi's mother next to her exclaim, and then rushed up to fight: "You didn't make her like this, if it wasn't because of you..."

"She asked for it, she asked for it from the beginning." Qi Zhen turned his head, his eyes were violent, so frightened that Shi's mother let go of her hand and dared not speak out.

"Everyone get out." Qi Zhen growled again, although Shi's mother was unwilling, she could only retreat step by step, outside the door, she asked the nurse to go to Lu Zhengnan with a trembling voice.

When only Shi Man and Qi Zhen were left in the room, she looked up at him and murmured, "You kill me, Qi Zhen."

"Kill you? Then die with you?" Qi Zhen snorted coldly: "Who do you think you are?"

"Ha, yes, whoever I am, you don't even bother to kill me." Shiman laughed at himself, and wiped his tears with the back of his hand. The blood stained his face, which was extremely dirty.

The loathing in Qi Zhen's eyes was even heavier: "You are so dirty, you are dirty all the time."

"Then why do you still touch me?" Shiman looked at him mockingly: "You are the one who wants to touch me. I have already said that I want to divorce you, and you still want to come back to me, so you are the same as me, It's also self-inflicted..."

Qi Zhen suddenly raised his hand, but just before he swung it down, he froze in mid-air.

"Are you afraid of getting infected even if you hit me?" Shiman laughed wildly, and his tone became resentful: "It's useless, if you want to get infected, you've already been infected by me, just before us..."

A loud slap slapped her in the face, and the corners of her mouth slowly leaked blood. She lowered her head, her long messy hair covered her eyes, and said in a low and slow voice, "You will hit me, even if I I gave you my whole heart and all my love, but you still hit me, like Ye Chuxiao, who threw your heart on the ground and crushed it, how could you not bear to hit me?"

Qi Zhen froze, then turned around abruptly, staring at the white wall, gasping for breath...

When Lu Zhengnan came over upon hearing the news, Qi Zhen had already left, leaving only a mess in the room, and Shi Man, who turned his back to everyone, remained motionless.

When Shiman heard his voice, he still didn't turn around, but suddenly said: "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital."

"How can you be discharged from the hospital now? You..." Shi Mu was anxious to stop her, but she raised her voice and said again: "I'm going to be discharged! I'm going to be discharged today!"

Lu Zhengnan's lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and finally he dropped two words: "Follow her." Then he turned and left.

Shiman's fingertips twisted a corner of the bed sheet tightly, biting a line of blood on his lower lip.

Mother Shi persuaded her for a while, but she still refused to speak. In desperation, she had to go through the discharge procedures.

The old man also came over later, but there was nothing he could do.

Shiman ignored everyone, went into the bathroom and changed his clothes, looked at the ghostly pale face in the mirror for a long time, took lipstick from his cosmetic bag, applied it mechanically, then brushed eyelashes and blush, He didn't open the door until he looked at that face and seemed to have regained his human appearance.

"I live in an apartment near the company, so it's convenient for me to go to work." She said while packing her things.

Shi's mother and the old man looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Xiaoman, why don't you stop going to work now?" The old man advised her.

But she smiled coldly: "Why? Are you afraid that I will lose face when I go out?"

"No, alas." The old man sighed heavily, not knowing what to say.

Shi's mother also said cautiously: "Even if you... have to go to work, you still live at home."

"Aren't you afraid that I will infect you?" Shiman raised his eyebrows: "It's better to separate."

She carried her bag and went out, raised her eyes, and saw Lu Zhengnan standing at the end of the corridor, stared blankly, then turned around and went down the stairs on the other side.

Lu Zhengnan didn't chase her, and didn't call her to stop. He walked into the ward and said lightly: "She is such an adult, she can only follow her own way."

Shi's mother looked sad, and left with her things, the old man sat by the bed in a daze, Lu Zhengnan accompanied him silently, and helped him to leave after a while.

In the empty ward, only the sunlight streaming in from the window is left, so bright, but still unable to illuminate the gloomy room...

Shiman actually returned to work in the company three days after he was discharged from the hospital.About her illness, only a few high-level officials knew about it, but they all knew the stakes in it and kept silent.The other employees were already used to Shiman coming from time to time, not to mention that Shiman still looked as stylish and powerful as before, so they didn't notice the difference.

When the people from the company reported this matter to Lu Zhengnan, he only said "Got it" and was speechless.

After staying in Beijing for another two days, after the old man settled down, he returned to the ancient city.

Ye Chuxiao went to pick him up at the airport, and the moment he saw her, he felt that the exhaustion he had accumulated these days seemed to explode at this moment.

He hugged her, buried his face in her hair, and said in a low voice: "I'm so tired."

"I know." She hugged him and sighed deeply.

When he got home, he lay down on the sofa. Ye Chuxiao wanted to run water to bathe him, but he held his hand: "Don't go anywhere, stay with me."

She sat down obediently, let him lie on her lap, and gently massaged his temples.

"You said...how did so many things happen?" He frowned.

Her fingertips slid to the center of his brow, smoothing his wrinkles, her eyes were sad.

Yes, I just want everyone to live in peace, but accidents happen one after another.

These days, every time I think about the past and the present, I feel that fate is like an impenetrable net, making it impossible for people to struggle.

Especially thinking of Qi Zhen.

Even if he hurt her like that, she still feels pitiful now.

He was already alone, and now he was still waiting alone, the sentence of death.

"In the future, what should we do?" She muttered in a low voice.

Lu Zhengnan closed his eyes and shook his head: "I don't know either."

At this moment, there was the sound of a car stopping outside the door, and Teacher Xiang came back with Mi Lier.

Lu Zhengnan forced himself to sit up, Mi Lier came in and saw him, ran over in surprise, and threw himself into his arms: "Dad, you've been away for many days, I miss you so much."

"I miss you too." He smiled and kissed her, but he thought of Qi Zhen again, feeling sad in his heart.

After hesitating for a while, he looked up at Ye Chuxiao: "Tonight, let's have dinner with Third Brother."

Ye Chuxiao was startled, and nodded slightly.

"Let's go see Uncle and Dad later, okay?" Lu Zhengnan lowered his head and asked Mi Li'er.

She cheered: "Okay, I haven't seen him for a long time, too."

Ye Chuxiao looked at Mi Li'er with sad eyes.

Afterwards, Lu Zhengnan called Qi Zhen, and he didn't answer until the ring rang twice.

"Third Brother, let's get together tonight, Chu Xiao and Mi Lier will also go." Lu Zhengnan's words made him over there stunned, and instinctively refused: "No need."

"Come out, the child misses you." Lu Zhengnan handed the phone to Mi Lier: "You tell Dad yourself."

"Father, I miss you." Mi Lier shouted into the microphone, "You haven't visited me at school for a long time."

He couldn't refuse Mi Li'er even if he refused anyone, so he could only agree in the end: "Okay, Dad is going to see you."

Mi Lier cheered, and returned the phone to Lu Zhengnan, then took Ye Chuxiao's hand and acted like a baby: "Mom, I want to wear that pink gauze dress, and I'm going to see my father."

"Third brother, look, the book says that the daughter is the lover of the father's previous life, it's true." Lu Zhengnan joked with a smile: "Mi Li'er has to dress up carefully in order to meet you."

Qi Zhen also smiled at the other end, but his eyes were astringent...

They met in that old house, and it was the first time for Mi Lier to come here, running around strangely, when she saw Qi Zhen's figure appearing at the door of the flower hall, she playfully walked around through the side door next to him, and hugged his leg from behind Sweet smile: "Guess who I am."

"Fool." He couldn't help laughing, turned around and hugged her, wanted to kiss her, but hesitated, and finally only kissed the top of her hair: "Who else are you, you are Dad's favorite baby. "

Mi Lier happily kissed him on the face: "You are the baby's favorite father, but..." She tilted her head and hesitated: "I love my mother the most, the father at home, and grandpa, Shen Aunt Ya, Aunt Xiaoxuan..."

"Oh, Mi Lier, you are so fickle. You love so many people the most." Lu Zhengnan's voice sounded from behind with a smile, and Qi Zhen turned around and nodded to him.

"Come in, look at the weather, I'm afraid it will rain soon." He greeted them.

Qi Zhen went in with Mi Li'er in his arms, and saw Ye Chuxiao coming from the corridor, the two of them looked at each other from a distance, neither of them said anything.

While eating, Ye Chuxiao moved a plate of shrimp balls in front of Qi Zhen, and said softly, "The kitchen over there said that they can make it themselves, so I cooked a dish."

This was his favorite dish before, but she still remembered it.Qi Zhen lowered his eyelids, his hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

"I want to eat too." Smelling the aroma, Mi Lier was so greedy that she lay on Qi Zhen's lap and drool.

"Let... your mother peel it for you." Qi Zhen whispered.

Mi Lier pouted: "Dad, why don't you help me peel it?"

Qi Zhen didn't know what to say, and sat there awkwardly.

Ye Chuxiao looked uncomfortable, coaxed the rice grains into her arms, and peeled the shrimps for her.

Qi Zhen ate in silence, Lu Zhengnan looked at him for a while, and asked someone to order a bottle of home-brewed sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine.

"If you want to drive, let's each have a small drink." He gave Qi Zhen a drink, and then filled it up for himself.

Qi Zhen held it up and touched him, and took a sip.

The sweet aroma of rice wine tempted Mi Li'er again, she was still a little awkward about Qizhen not peeling shrimp for him just now, so she chose Lu Zhengnan to rub it this time, and looked at Qizhen and muttered: "Father doesn't like me anymore."

Qi Zhen was helpless, Lu Zhengnan curled his lips: "It's useless for you to act like a baby to me, and I can't give you this wine."

Mi Lier squatted on the ground mournfully and drew circles.

The adults couldn't help laughing, and Qi Zhen's expression finally relaxed a lot. He picked her up and put her on his lap, took the glass again and poured some wine, and took new chopsticks to dip a little and feed it to her.

Such a cautious move made Lu Zhengnan and Ye Chuxiao feel pity in their hearts.

Only Mi Lier didn't know that it was rare for the three of them to be by her side at the same time. She was very happy. After eating, she sang, danced and performed for them.

They also pretended to forget everything, only to be happy with her wholeheartedly.

This night is engraved deep in everyone's memory, so many years later, I still feel warm when I think about it.

Even if this warmth is so short compared to the long journey full of storms...
