within Temptation

Chapter 197 Scared Me To Death
When we got home, my mother and Yingying had already gone to bed.I walked into my room lightly, and immediately took off my blood-stained clothes, packed them in a black plastic bag, and hid them in my closet.

Touching the piece of gauze on my head, I smiled bitterly and thought to myself: the bruises and scars on other parts of my body are okay, as long as I wear clothes, I can’t see it.But how to cover up the bandage on the head tomorrow morning?It can't be winter, I just wear a hat, right?

I know that once my mother sees what I look like now, any sophistry will be useless.When I was a teenager, I went home with injuries like this countless times. When the old lady saw it, she knew that I was fighting with someone outside again.

Although tonight's fight is fundamentally different from my previous fights, and it is also a self-preservation, it is inevitable.But no matter what, I still broke the promise to my family back then.In order to prevent my mother from worrying about me again, and to maintain the image I have changed with great difficulty, of course I cannot let my mother see me like this.

well!Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow morning.At worst, I get up early and go out quickly before my mother gets up.In the past two days, I tried my best to avoid meeting my mother.As long as the wound is healed, the matter will be over.

I tiptoed to the bathroom, wiped off the blood on my face and neck with a towel, and wiped the blood on my left arm with medicinal wine from the hospital.After a hasty treatment, I went back to my room and lay down.

It was late, but I couldn't sleep.He lit a cigarette and lay on the bed, thinking wildly.I didn't think about anything else, just thinking about what Tang Xiaoru said to me tonight, and the hug I had with her.

Is Tang Xiaoru actually a weak woman?When she is sad and wronged, will she throw herself into the arms of someone she trusts to seek comfort and understanding?

I naturally don't believe that she and Fei Jiahui will have any affair, but I think Fei Jiahui is also someone she trusts very much, right?Although I was a little surprised when Felena said she saw the two of them hugging each other.But thinking of her crying in my arms like this tonight, I was relieved.

Perhaps, this is a manifestation of Tang Xiaoru's inner weakness?In front of those she trusts, she no longer needs to pretend to be strong and maintain her mask of a strong woman.The grievances received have been suppressed for a long time, and it is normal to not be able to vent them out.

It's just that Tang Xiaoru really should reflect on it.It's okay for her to vent her grievances, but don't you know that this behavior of crying in the arms of a man will cause misunderstanding?Don't talk about others and Fei Jiahui, just talking about me tonight, I almost mistakenly thought she liked me.

Alas, you may be calm in your heart, but in this world, when they hug you, how many men will be calm and not thinking wildly?

Since I have to get up early tomorrow, after I finished smoking a cigarette, I forced myself to fall asleep quickly.After setting the alarm on my phone, I turned off the lights and closed my eyes.Not long after, he fell asleep in a daze.

My mother usually gets up at six o'clock in the morning. As the elderly get older, they have less time to sleep.In order to go out before she got up, I set the time on my mobile phone to 05:30 in the morning.So, when I was woken up by the alarm from my mobile phone, I didn't stay in bed for a second, but got up immediately to get dressed, and then rushed to the bathroom to wash my face casually.

Maybe my mother heard my voice, and she said strangely in the room: "Xiaoyong, why did you get up so early? What time did you come back last night?"

When I heard that my mother had woken up, I hurried to put on my shoes in fright, and said while putting on my shoes, "Mom, I have something to do in the morning, so I have to go out early. After that, I'll go straight to work, and I won't come back for breakfast."

"You went out before dawn? What's the rush?"

"Well...it's business, our company leader ordered it."

"Business? What business needs to go out early in the morning? Your company leaders are really..."

I heard that my mother seemed to have gotten out of bed, and it seemed that she was about to open the door and come out.In a hurry, I didn't even step on the heels, I hurried to open the door, pretending to be in a hurry and said: "Mom, I don't have time, I'm leaving now!"

"Hey, what are you in a hurry for? Come back, I haven't even asked about you and Miss Fei yet."

I didn't dare to stay for a while, closed the door behind my back, and hurried to the street.It wasn't until I couldn't see the door of my house when I turned the corner that I breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

At this moment, the sky is only dim.I smiled wryly and touched the gauze on my head, thinking that it was covered this morning.But at night?What about tomorrow morning?You can't always leave early and return late for several days in a row under the pretext of business affairs?

I found a breakfast shop that opened early, and I ordered a bowl of soy milk and a few steamed buns. While sitting and eating, I thought about how I should hide the fact that I was injured in a fight in the next few days without letting me Mom was suspicious.I overheard a middle-aged man who came to buy buns chatting with the shop owner, saying that he would take a train for a business trip for a few days after eating.When I heard the word "business trip", I suddenly had an idea.If there is really no way, then I will lie to my mother to go on a business trip, right?Since it is a business trip, naturally there is no need to go home.Just find a place to deal with it for a night or two, and it won't be too late to go back when the wound on the head is almost healed.

Thinking of this, I am both proud and ashamed.Alas, even though this is a last resort, but lying to my mother is really a bit ashamed.

Since I went out too early, I had nowhere to go.When I was bored, I planned to walk to the company to work.That's right, when I walked into the company building, it was only seven twenty in the morning.We're still a full hour and a half away from our normal working hours and much more.

At this time, of course, there was no one in the company.I opened the door of my office, I had nothing to do, so I rolled up my sleeves and started cleaning.It's just that my left arm is still a little dull, and I'm not very flexible.A little bit of force will sting.It seems that the injury is really not serious, and if it doesn't take ten and a half months, it will probably not get better.

Just as I was cleaning the office so that the windows were clean and spotless, I suddenly heard the sound of high-heeled shoes outside the door. It seemed that someone had come to work early like me.I was a little strange and went to the door to see who it was.As soon as he poked his head out, he saw Tang Xiaoru, the boss of the company, rushing in with a bag.Seeing me coming out suddenly, she was startled.He covered his chest with his hand and let out a cry, then glared at me and said angrily, "You... what are you doing? You scared me to death!"
