Gentle to the Bone - Chapter 33.1

Get up and walk out.

But when he pushed open the glass door and came out of the store, what he saw was Shen Yansheng and a boy hugging at the school gate.

The boy is very handsome, about the same age as Shen Yansheng, and looking at the car he drives and the clothes he drives, it can be seen that the two of them must be well matched.

The two of them didn’t know what they were talking about, but Shen Yansheng had a bright smile on his face, and suddenly tiptoed and kissed her boyfriend.

Lu Jingce’s footsteps stopped there, separated by some distance, he looked at the bright and happy smile on Shen Yansheng’s face, he couldn’t tell what he felt at that time.

It’s actually normal.

She is so beautiful, so cheerful and lovely, there must be many boys who like her.

Pei Xin followed from inside, looked at Lu Jingce, and asked suspiciously, “What’s the matter? Why did it suddenly come out?”

Lu Jingce retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, “It’s okay.”

“You go first.”

Pei Xin was a little confused and wanted to ask what else he wanted to ask. Someone happened to be calling him to settle the bill, so he quickly turned around and responded, “Hey, here we go!”

He turned his head and said to Lu Jingce, “If you have nothing to do, come in quickly, the dishes are all here.”

Lu Jingce nodded and made a light “um”.

When Pei Xin returned to the store and Lu Jingce looked at the place just now, Shen Yansheng was no longer there.

It was empty under the plane tree, as if what I saw just now was just a phantom.

And that wasn’t the last time Lu Jingce saw Shen Yansheng.

Four years later, Shen Yansheng went to California to study, and one weekend, he and Fu Shiyu drove to Florida to play.

When the car was halfway through, Fu Shiyu felt a little regretful and said in the car, “I really won’t drive myself next time, I’m exhausted.”

Shen Yansheng said, “Why don’t you rest for a while in front.”

Fu Shiyu nodded and said, “I really need to rest for a while. I’ll go to the toilet by the way.”

At the front highway service area, Fu Shiyu stopped the car and went to the bathroom, while Shen Yansheng went to the supermarket to buy something to eat.

At that time, Lu Jingce and a friend drove to Florida to do some errands, and went to the service area to rest in the middle. He walked into the supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes, but suddenly stopped at the door.

The friend next to him also stopped and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong?”

He followed Lu Jingce’s gaze and saw Shen Yansheng who was picking out snacks on the shelf.

A friend had seen the photo in Lu Jingce’s wallet, so he was very surprised when he saw Shen Yansheng, and when he wanted to say something subconsciously, Lu Jingce stopped him with his eyes.

At that time, Shen Yansheng also felt that two eyes were staring at her. She turned her head subconsciously, just in line with Lu Jingce’s eyes.

That was the seventh year after Shen Yansheng and Lu Jingce met, Lu Jingce remembered her like a day for seven years, but Shen Yansheng had obviously completely forgotten him.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Shen Yansheng nodded politely at him.

Fu Shiyu walked in just at that time and asked, “Have you bought it yet?”

As soon as Shen Yansheng saw Fu Shiyu, she smiled and said, “Not yet. I’m wondering if I should buy more cans of coffee.”

Fu Shiyu took a few cans from the shelf and said, “Then buy it, what else do you want to buy?”

“Buy some potato chips.”

…

When he came out of the service area, Lu Jingce was full of bitterness.

He sat in the co-pilot smoking, looked out the window, and didn’t speak for a long time.

Zhou Qiao watched his nose and his heart, and drove the car behind Shen Yansheng’s car. He endured it for a long time, but he couldn’t help but ask, “Is that girl in the photo just now?”

Lu Jingce looked at the car in front of him, and was silent for a long time, then said “um”.

Zhou Qiao recalled Shen Yansheng’s reaction in the store just now, and it was obvious that he didn’t remember Lu Jingce at all.

Zhou Qiao felt touched and sympathized with Lu Jingce for a moment.

I liked a girl for so long for seven years, but the other party didn’t remember him at all.

He touched his nose and said, “There is a saying that there is no grass anywhere in the world. Women who chase you can form a football team. There is no need to hang them on a woman, right?”

Lu Jingce was upset and interrupted him, “Silence.”

Zhou Qiao kept his mouth shut and didn’t mention it again.

In the following month, Zhou Qiao discovered that Lu Jingce often drove out for a stroll. Several times when he drove out, he encountered Lu Jingce parked near the university.

One night when Lu Jingce came back late, Zhou Qiao couldn’t bear his curiosity and asked gossip, “Your sweetheart is a college student?”

Lu Jingce glanced at him.

Zhou Qiao touched his nose, “I didn’t mean to investigate you. Mainly, I have seen your car parked nearby several times when I went out recently.”

Lying on the bar, he asked curiously, “Are you secretly going to see people? What are you doing? Pry the corner or do things for love?”

Lu Jingce poured drinks at the bar, didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and said coldly, “You’ve been busy lately? Take care of my business.”

Zhou Qiao smiled and said to himself, “As long as I think that even you will be reduced to the level of doing three things for love, I will be balanced.”

Holding a glass of wine and sitting on the sofa, he sighed, “Women are really cute and hateful.”

The last time Lu Jingce saw Shen Yansheng before returning to China was on Christmas Eve that year.

At about 8 p.m., a shooting broke out outside a Brooklyn subway station, and pedestrians screamed and fled. Lu Jingce was doing errands nearby. When the gunshots sounded, he opened the car door and was about to leave.

In the noisy voice, he suddenly heard a terrified cry, “Fu Shiyu!”

He followed the voice and saw Shen Yansheng running around in the crowd holding his head.

He couldn’t help frowning and strode towards her almost immediately.

The crowd was chaotic, gunshots rang out in the air, and everyone was screaming and fleeing. Some were pushed to the ground, and others were trampled over the fallen.

Shen Yansheng didn’t know where to run like a headless fly. She was pushed and pulled by the crowd, completely unaware that she had been targeted by the muzzle behind her.

When the gunshots sounded, Shen Yansheng was suddenly thrown to the ground from behind. There was a groan in the panic.

At this time, the police finally arrived and quickly captured several thugs.

Fu Shiyu turned around and ran back, shouting in the crowd, “Sheng Sheng!”

Lu Jingce got up from Shen Yansheng, turned around and strode back.

Fu Shiyu and Lu Jingce brushed past, ran over to help Shen Yansheng, who was lying on the ground, with panic on his face, “Are you okay Shengsheng?”

However, Shen Yansheng looked back subconsciously, there were pedestrians on the road, and she couldn’t find who rescued her just now.

“Shengsheng? What are you looking at?” Fu Shiyu couldn’t help asking when he saw Shen Yansheng looking behind him.

Shen Yansheng finally recovered, looked at Fu Shiyu, and said, “It seems that someone saved me just now.”

Fu Shiyu was stunned when he heard the words, “No?”

Shen Yansheng said: “Really. I heard gunshots coming from behind me just now, and then I was thrown down.”

Fu Shiyu helped Shen Yansheng to stand up from the ground, and said, “You must have heard it wrong. How could the muzzle be aimed at you. It should have just been hit.”

“Really?” Shen Yansheng still had some lingering fears, so he didn’t think much about it.

Fu Shiyu nodded, wiped the tears from her face, and said, “Definitely yes.”

Still subconsciously, Shen Yansheng turned back and glanced at the crowd.

After a while, I remembered and looked at Fu Shiyu again, “Where did you go just now? It scared me to death.”

Fu Shiyu’s eyes flashed a trace of guilt, and he said, “I was scattered by the crowd, and I didn’t find you for a long time.”

“Oh.” Shen Yansheng asked, “Then are you alright?”

“It’s okay.” Fu Shiyu pulled Shen Yansheng back and said, “Let’s go, let’s go back quickly, it’s too dangerous.”

In the second half of the night, Lu Jingce was lying on the hospital bed. The doctor took out a bullet from his right shoulder and said, “Fortunately, it didn’t go through the heart, or else I would have gone to see **** by now.”

Lu Jingce didn’t use anesthesia when taking the bullet, and Lu Jingce’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Zhou Qiao frowned and said, “Aren’t you going out to run errands, why did you get shot?”

Lu Jingce closed his eyes and didn’t have the energy to talk to him.

The doctor said by the side: “A shooting just happened.”

Zhou Qiao said, “I know.”

However, with Lu Jingce’s responsiveness, it was impossible to avoid this foreseeable danger.

“No. Weren’t you getting in the car when I called you just now?”

Lu Jingce got a headache from his quarrel, frowned, and said impatiently, “Can you be quiet?”

Zhou Qiao suddenly thought of Lu Jingce’s abnormality during this period, and made a joke, “Could it be that your sweetheart was almost hit by a bullet, so you rushed over to help her block a shot?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jingce suddenly opened his eyes and finally glanced at him.

Zhou Qiao was stunned for two seconds, then reacted, his eyes widened, and he said in shock: “Damn, did I really guess?”
