Promise You Lifelong Happiness - C50
In the dark night, the street lamps flickered and flickered. The dim yellow light faintly shone on the top of her head. Even the electric currents were creaking as they sang a lonely and sleepless song.
Lin Qingrou had no choice but to hold onto her numb arm that had turned icy cold due to the pain. She had never felt so lost and afraid that she would leave if she failed. If that was the case, how would the revenge proceed?!
Liu Yuxi’s car roared over, and even the frozen grass and flowers on the roadside turned. She braked and came to a stop in front of Lin Canrou. Liu Yuxi hurriedly got out of the car, and as she ran in front of Lin Qingrou, she screamed in surprise.
AHH!” How did you become like this! “Ah ah ah!
Lin Qingrou felt a headache from her yelling, and had to turn her face away. She turned around and looked at the lights in the building. Her heart gradually turned cold.
The saddest thing was that no matter how many people there were in this world, no matter how many homes there were, there would never be one that belonged to him.
Liu Yuxi quickly took off his own silk handkerchief and said to Lin Qingrou, “Quickly take this cloth off your hands, it’s already been dyed red with blood!”
After saying that, Liu Yuxi carefully threw the changed towel into the trash can, before reaching out to wrap his own scarf around Lin Manmei’s palm.
Lin Manshou suddenly dodged, “Don’t, your silk scarf is so expensive, it wasn’t given to you by your father on your birthday, Herm’s.”
Liu Yuxi stomped his feet anxiously, “Elder sister, which one do you want between Herm’s and yours? Shall we wrap the wound up so you don’t bleed to death? In the future when your hands are better, remember to buy them for me. Furthermore, this is not expensive, so there’s only six or seven thousand pieces. ”
As Liu Yuxi bandaged her wounds, he angrily asked, “Did Ye Qingming do something to your family?!” Just you wait, I’ll go up and find him now, and beat him to a pulp. ”
“If you do that, you won’t be able to wear Herm s scarves in your next life. You can only bring a sign for the jail. ”
“You actually have the mood to joke, I really admire you.”
As the two of them spoke, the ambulance sped past them and stopped behind Liu Yuxi’s car.
Lin Manrou pulled Liu Yuxi along. “Let’s go first. Make way for the ambulance.”
After saying that, the two got into the car and sped towards the central hospital.
After arriving at Ye Qing’s home, the nurse and the emergency doctor simply checked on Xing Ruonan’s condition before lifting her onto a stretcher. Ye Qingming followed them out. When he arrived at the elevator, he suddenly saw bloodstains along the path from his house to the tiles at the elevator’s entrance. He subconsciously looked at Xing Ruonan on the stretcher. The stretcher was very clean, and she hadn’t bled at all.
Suddenly, Ye Qingming’s heart sank.
“Big sister, please take care of Xing Ruonan with Quan Wei. I’ll come back later.”
After Ye Qingming finished speaking, he went back home and took his car keys and jacket, then quickly ran to the stairwell and chased after them.
In the hospital, Liu Yuxi had furiously trampled over all of the cultivation he had accumulated over the past twenty years, even after hearing Lin Manshui’s description. He then began to scold her for over twenty minutes.
Liu Yuxi said with a pained heart, “Look at you, if you keep on looking, this glass will almost pass through your hand and come out from the back of your hand. “It really scares me to death.”
Lin Qingrou looked at her bandaged left arm, and actually smiled, “Not so bad, it doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Liu Yuxi scoffed, “That’s because you haven’t had your fill yet! “Let’s see how you’re going to get cocky when the anesthetic’s been metabolized.”
Lin Qingrou had to stay in the hospital to pass on the anti-inflammatory drug, so she had to stay and observe. As she spoke, Liu Yuxi pulled Lin Manshui’s blanket over her.
Lin Qingrou looked at Liu Yuxi, her frantic heart calming down. She would always be able to appear at the right time, and then give her strength to comfort her and save her.
“If it weren’t for you, I’d probably have given up long ago.” Lin Qingrou said softly.
Liu Yuxi did not hear him. She stretched out her head and asked, “What did you say?!”
Lin Qingrou could not help but laugh, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. “Eh, my phone rang. Please pick it up for me.”
Seeing this, Liu Yuxi took out her cellphone from Lin Manshou’s clothes. Seeing this, Liu Yuxi immediately became angry. Without thinking, she picked it up and walked into the hallway and asked, “What do you mean? You’ve even learnt family violence, right?! Do you think that Man Man has no friends! Alright, you do it! I’ll be waiting for you in the emergency department of the Central Hospital to see what you have to say! ”
With that, Liu Yuxi returned to the ward. She did not expect Lin Qingrou to be asleep.
“He actually fell asleep. His heart is really big. Sigh … Forget it, I’ll just not tell her. She’s probably really too tired. ” Liu Yuxi muttered to himself as he tweaked Lin Manmei’s hair, then slowed down a bit. After instructing the nurse, she walked alone to the entrance of the emergency room.
At the moment, the emergency room was brightly lit with sobbing sounds. The sounds of footsteps and wailing were like a clumsy symphony, randomly mixed together.
Liu Yuxi found a rare moment of silence amidst the ruckus. She leaned weakly against the stone pillar at the entrance and lit up a cigarette in frustration. The flame on her cigarette grew redder and redder as the cold wind blew. It was as if the evil god of death was staring right at her.
As expected, after Ye Qingming hung up the phone, he arrived in less than a cigarette’s worth of time. Panting for breath, he ran to the emergency door. When he saw Liu Yuxi, he asked, “Is she injured?”
Liu Yuxi did not answer and remained cool-headed, as if she was a completely different person from the noisy Ye Qingming had usually treated her with. Liu Yuxi placed the cigarette butt into the ashtray on top of the trash can, then crushed the cigarette butt tightly with his fingers. However, she still couldn’t seem to calm down, so she took out the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground. She raised her pointy high heels and stomped on it twice.
She looked up and asked with a sneer, “Injured? Ye Qingming, I didn’t expect you to be so ambitious. Let your family bully her that blatantly?! ”
Ye Qingming stood aside with a bitter smile, he had nothing to say.
Liu Yuxi took out the silk handkerchief that had just been wrapped around Lin Manrou from his pocket and threw it on Ye Qingming’s face. Liu Yuxi took out the silk scarf that had just been wrapped around Lin Manrou and threw it on Ye Qingming’s face.
“Take a good look, this is the silk scarf I wrapped around her hand when I received her. That wasn’t much. Her face was gray when I saw her, and the towel in her hand was dripping blood. The blood has already dyed such a thick towel completely, and a person as big as you actually didn’t notice?! ”
Liu Yuxi’s tone gradually became overbearing. “I don’t care how much affection you have for your ex-girlfriend, or how much you unreasonably shield your family. But let me tell you something today, don’t think that Lin Qingrou is alone in S City with no one to support her. Her parents and brother are both here, and you dare to bully her like this. Even if she was alone, she still had me! Am I that easy to bully?! ”
Ye Qingming looked at the silk handkerchief in his hand. It seemed to be a dark green silk scarf. However, at this moment, it had completely turned black. Only the folded corner of the scarf could still be seen. Ye Qingming’s heart instantly turned cold. Even if he had seen many bloody and cruel scenes in the past, he was still not as shocked as he was now. As he listened to Liu Yuxi’s words, her warning stabbed him in the heart.
The more Liu Yuxi was angry at Ye Qingming, the more he was worried about the extent of Lin Qingrou’s injuries.
Fortunately, Liu Yuxi still told him in the end, “The wound is very long and deep. However, because I came here a bit late, my blood gradually solidified. I originally wanted to sew two layers, but in the end I only sewed one layer. Total… Eight stitches in total. She even hurt a nerve when the glass was inserted into her hand. She was afraid that she wouldn’t feel anything on her ring finger for the time being. As for whether he could recover in the future … You are a doctor, you should understand. ”
Liu Yuxi continued to stutter, and in the end, she covered her face with her hands, choked with sobs, and could no longer utter a single word.
Of course, Ye Qingming knew that not only were his nerves recovering over a long period of time, but what was even more worrisome was that to a large extent, he wouldn’t be able to recover back to his original state. However, when the doctor described it, he would not be so certain of his judgement.
“She’s asleep now,” Liu said to him. “You can look at her another day. I’ll send her back if she wants to. But if she refuses, please don’t come to her. ”
After saying that, Liu Yuxi wiped away his tears and returned to the ward, leaving Ye Qingming alone in the crowded emergency lobby.
The next day, Lin Qingrou was woken up by the pain from the wound on her hand. She now truly believed what Liu Yuxi had said yesterday, “Let’s see how you’re still going to be cocky after you’ve used the anesthetic!”
She gasped from the pain and looked to the side. There was no one by the bed.
Lin Qingrou got off the bed. Fortunately, her body was still able to move freely. She was already very satisfied. She came to the nurses station, found a nurse and asked, “Nurse, do you see that girl with long curly hair and high heels wearing a dark green windbreaker?”
The nurse had just finished her shift and was too busy to pay any attention to her. She casually said, “I didn’t see anything.”
Lin Qingrou replied with an “Oh”, no longer willing to disturb them.
“Why did you come out?!”
Liu Yuxi was standing in the corridor of the hospital with a thermos and a round lunch box.
Seeing that she was holding something in both hands, Lin Manrou hurried forward to help. Liu Yuxi hastily dodged them. She trotted back to the ward, put down the thermos and the lunch box, and ran out to support Lin Manmei.
“Why did you come out yourself?! Didn’t the nurse tell you to lie down in the house? “And you want to help me get something? Your hands are swollen!”
Lin Qingrou raised her hand casually and looked, “These small injuries will slowly heal, why can’t you even get off the bed?”
The two of them sat on a chair. Liu Yuxi looked at her resentfully, then regretfully spread out his hands and said, “When I went back home in the morning, I was going to get my auntie to make you some porridge and side dishes. In the end, he didn’t expect that his grandfather would find out about his slip of the tongue. “He’s in so much pain, tsk tsk tsk, hurry up and get me to bring over all the large and small bags!”
Lin Qingrou took a sip of her porridge and asked in surprise, “The old man still remembers me, I’m really scared.”
Liu Yuxi laughed as he opened the box and placed it in front of her. He then picked up a spoon and placed it beside her: “Now, you should use your spoon, right? “I’m afraid that this hand is temporarily unable to eat with chopsticks. If you were to talk about you, you would definitely hurt the hand that eats; what a headache.”
Lin Manshui’s hand was still aching, but she managed to muster up some interest and appetite. After drinking half a bowl of porridge, she wiped her mouth and said to Liu Yuxi, “Are you not going to be hospitalized today?”
Liu Yuxi nodded, and asked her doubtfully, “Do you want to go back? “Go back to Ye Qingming.”
Lin Qingrou subconsciously shook her head, but after a moment of silence, she sighed helplessly.
“I’m not wrong, why can’t I go back?”
Liu Yuxi stood up with a “whoa”, and angrily looked at Lin Qingrou as she asked, “You forgot what happened last night! They treated you like that, and you went back without a word?! “At least …”
The more Liu Yuxi spoke, the more discouraged he became. “You’ll be in a deadlock for at least a few days.”
Lin Qingrou also wanted to leave, but under such circumstances, how could she do so!
“You know, I can’t go now. Moreover, there are some things that I haven’t explained to Ye Qingming. ” Lin Qingrou said awkwardly.
Liu Yuxi was confused, “What else do you want to say to him, it’s about the injury?! I really can’t do anything to you, you’ve always been like this, where can you say there’s a reason for everything? Do you have a reason for hating fish and eating hot pot? ”
Lin Qingrou was stunned. Was it that hard to come up with a reason?
Liu Yuxi looked at her helplessly, “Ai …” Forget it, since you want to go back, I’ll send you back. Back to Ye Qing’s home? ”
Lin Qingrou looked at her phone and nodded.
After leaving the hospital, Liu Yuxi circled around and around the restaurant near Ye Qingming’s apartment.
Lin Qingrou asked her, “What are you looking for?”
Liu Yuxi snapped his fingers, and with great confidence, he handed a stack of order cards in his hands to Lin Manshui and said, “Here, take this. This is every order phone in the vicinity that’s within five kilometers. “From now on, you can decide whomever you want to eat. It’s enough!”
Lin Qingrou didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Then I basically won’t need to cook for myself for the next year.”
Liu Yuxi looked at her in disdain, “You don’t cook well anyway, so it’s better not to. “Unless one day you want to poison Ye Qingming to death, I will support you.”
Lin Qingrou looked at her approvingly. She knew that the food she cooked was really bad, so she would just casually eat some food in the restaurant.
“But then again, your cooking is quite delicious. If you have time some other day, can you cook a meal for me to try? ” Lin asked for her opinion.
Liu Yuxi put on an air of arrogance. She ruffled her hair and gave Lin Manmei a coquettish look, “Let me think about it.”
The car listened quietly under the apartment building. Liu Yuxi got off the car and took out Lin Manmei’s bag and clothes, then he took out the dishes and fruits he brought over and held them in his hands. She said with difficulty, “I have too many things in my hand to help you. “I see that you’re full of energy, it doesn’t seem like there’s any big news.”
Lin Qingrou laughed, “Of course, why don’t we not take so many things. I wouldn’t need that much if I took it. ”
Liu Yuxi locked the car and firmly said, “My grandfather told me to take this. You must let me finish every task for him as an old Red Army veteran.”
After returning home, Lin Qingrou used her right hand to slowly open the door. Just as she took out another pair of slippers and handed them over to Liu Yuxi, Ye Qingming suddenly walked out of the study.
Lin Qingrou froze, the slippers in her hands falling to the ground.
“Why are you home!” she blurted out.
Liu Yuxi frowned. Her eyes locked onto Ye Qingming as she walked towards the kitchen.
Ye Qingming said awkwardly, “I took a leave of absence today. I originally wanted to go to the hospital to pick you up, but who would’ve thought …” “So you came back.”
“Oh, I’m all right now. You should go to work. I want to stay at home for a while. ” Lin Qingrou said weakly as she sat on the sofa.
Ye Qingming had not expected Lin Qingrou to return so quickly, so he was pleasantly surprised and worried. He didn’t seem to have made any preparations to make her feel better, so the current Ye Qingming didn’t know what to do.
Liu Yuxi came out of the kitchen, touched Lin Manchuan’s shoulder and whispered to her, “Since that’s the case, I’ll be leaving first.” Call me if you need anything, I’ll pick you up! ”
Lin Qingrou looked at her gratefully. This time, she agreed without any reason. Lin Qingrou stood up and sent Liu Yuxi off. Then, she returned to her own bedroom. She found her nightgown and was glad she was wearing a button-down shirt, or else it would have been too much trouble to change.
After changing, Lin Qingrou sat quietly on the bed. She couldn’t help but start to hear voices outside the door. However, the outside of the door was very quiet. Even the creaking of the floor could not be heard.
Is Ye Qingming still outside? She couldn’t help but think.
As she hesitated, there was a knock on the bedroom door.
It was Ye Qingming. “How are you doing?” Can you let me see where you got hurt? ”
Lin Qingrou lowered her head and looked at her left hand, which was bandaged from finger to wrist. Her heart slowly brightened, and her mind became clearer.
She opened the door. The moment she saw Ye Qingming, Lin Qingrou’s heart couldn’t help but tremble in pain.
Ye Qingming blankly stared at her. He saw her tired eyes and cracked lips. There was a strand of hair hanging in front of her forehead. It made her look extremely haggard and exhausted. All he knew was that in his lifetime, he had operated on countless people and removed countless dead tissues and tumors. But he himself had never been operated on, so he didn’t know the pain of the needle stitching straight through his skin.
However, when Ye Qingming faced this situation, he could clearly feel the pain and grief in Lin Qingrou’s body. It was like a lock, locking Lin Qingrou in place.
Lin Qingrou lifted her head and asked mockingly, “Where’s Xing Rannan?” Is she all right? ”
Ye Qingming did not dare to look at her. He could only say lightly, “She observed the whole night and returned home early this morning with nothing to do.”
Lin Qingrou laughed bitterly, “Of course, why would you let her do anything? Even if the baby is gone, you can make her another. ”
Ye Qingming looked at her and said in a low voice, “I know what you’re angry about, just vent all your anger on me.” As for Xing Ruonan, let’s not talk about her. ”
“Why can’t you say she is pregnant? She can hurt people at will even if she’s pregnant! Yesterday, if it wasn’t for her abnormally pulling me back, I wouldn’t have been able to shake her off no matter how hard I tried. If I were you, I would advise her to stop helping the wicked, to save up for her children. not colluding with others to harm others! ”
After Lin Qingrou finished speaking, she started to feel dizzy, as if she was too agitated and her body had not fully recovered yet.
Ye Qingming looked at her in confusion. “You really hate Xing Ruonan that much?” You think that she and Quan Wei were the ones who harmed you?
Lin Qingrou looked at Ye Qingming and the mural behind him. She suddenly felt that they had become ethereal and intangible. As a result, before she could even speak, her vision went dark and she completely fainted.
