aren't we in love

Chapter 22

Cheng Duanwu thought: She and Lu Yingqin must have jet lag.

In the past, when she foolishly took loving him as a belief, he didn't love her.She chased his footsteps hard and didn't want him to stop for her, but he was stingy even when he looked back occasionally.But now, she no longer loves him, but he is struggling with whom to love.

So what if she loves Yu Dong?So what if you don't love?

Is this answer important to them now?
Cheng Duanwu looked at him quietly, without a twinkle or wave in his eyes, he only replied affirmatively: "Yes, I love him."

Her answer was a self-defeating lie, but she wasn't flustered.Now she can't learn to love anyone.The pain of loving someone once in a lifetime is enough, and she doesn't want to experience the feeling of heartbreak again.

Treating the man in front of her, the tender love and hatred left in her heart also turned to ashes as he ruthlessly destroyed time and time again.

It's all over, and there is a void of relief in her heart, a heart is hollowed out, it's good, at least, it won't hurt anymore.

Lu Yingqin clenched his fists tightly, trying to let the pain relieve the paralysis of his brain.But at that moment, he still felt numb from a trance.

He seemed to have heard Cheng Duanwu's answer clearly, but it was as if he was in a dream.

He stared at Cheng Duanwu, and he couldn't see any nostalgia he wanted to see on that calm face.He closed his eyes tiredly, and after panting heavily, he only sighed: "You go."

Cheng Duanwu tidied himself up in silence, then pushed the cleaning cart away.

At the moment when he passed by Lu Yingqin, Cheng Duanwu seemed to see a trace of loneliness on Lu Yingqin's expressionless face, it was fleeting, and Cheng Duanwu even suspected that he was hallucinating, but she laughed at herself after a while I wonder, will Lu Yingqin be lonely?How could the expression that belonged to Cheng Duanwu appear on Lu Yingqin's face?

Cheng Duanwu didn't dare to go home after get off work, so he went to her house to clean with his colleagues.If Cheng Luoming saw her like this, he would definitely be angry at him.

That colleague was also considered reasonable, and he was not surprised when he saw Cheng Duanwu's distressed appearance, and the colleague who was used to the scene didn't ask a word.I had to remind her kindly: "Some drunk guests, as long as they don't suffer too much, it's fine. Don't be tough, we can't afford to offend anyone who comes here."

Cheng Duanwu felt sad, but still nodded silently.

He took his own clothes and got into the small toilet in the hut rented by his colleagues.The low toilet Cheng Duanwu felt oppressed as soon as he entered.Cheng Duanwu felt troubled for a while, looking at the crude things in front of him, Cheng Duanwu pushed others to himself, and felt the same.

Sometimes fate is really so unfair.People who work so hard to live are tortured to death by life.They also wanted to raise their heads proudly, but fate suppressed them mercilessly.

The hot water from the shower head poured onto Cheng Duanwu's body. The top of his head, face, body, and hands were all red and swollen due to the corrosion of the detergent. It was itchy and painful, but she didn't dare to scratch it.His eyes were also sore with tears.I had been enduring it before, but after pouring hot water, the pores of my body suddenly relaxed, and the pain became more and more obvious.

She closed her eyes in pain, but what appeared in her mind was Lu Yingqin's almost helpless words at the last moment: "You go."

As if in an empty valley, those words kept echoing in her ears, his figure lingered in her mind, his breath surrounded her, Cheng Duanwu was eager to get rid of it.

The hot water washed away, as if all the filth had been washed away, and the pain in her body gradually became numb.

like her heart.

She knew that everything was overwhelmed and she couldn't turn back.

She closed her eyes tiredly and tried her best to get rid of all distracting thoughts, and she would not think about what should be forgotten.

When she left her colleague's house, the girl was still worried and sent her away a long way. Cheng Duanwu thanked her repeatedly, and the kind girl went back.

The street was already empty, only a few vehicles whizzed by with their lights on and galloped away.

The overnight bus takes 40 minutes to wait for one shift.Cheng Duanwu was shivering from the night wind, rubbing his red and swollen hands back and forth to get some warmth.

In order to save money, she only ate a cold steamed bun for dinner. She had tossed too much this night, and she was extremely hungry at this time.Exhaustion and hunger nearly strangled all her consciousness.

She suddenly thought of her mother who died young.

Her mother died when she was four years old.Cheng Duanwu's memory of her was so blurry that it couldn't be more blurry.I just remember that she seems to have a bad temper all the time, she is very stubborn, even Cheng Tianda can't do anything about her.When Cheng Duanwu was a child, he always remembered that his mother loved Cheng Tianda the most. She would do whatever Cheng Tianda forbade her to do, but Cheng Tianda still loved her, and he was obedient to her.

When his mother passed away, a tough guy like Cheng Tianda cried into tears. At that moment, his mother looked at him with unbelievably gentle and affectionate eyes, which was not at all normal.

She had a lot of conversations with Cheng Duanwu, but Cheng Duanwu couldn't remember.I only remember the emotion she said when she was dying, she said: "Duan Wu, my daughter, if you can meet a man like your father in this life, how wonderful it would be?"

In the end, she failed to meet a man like her father.Maybe God gave her a father who was obedient and obedient to her. She squandered it willfully and stubbornly for more than ten years, so the rest of her life must be repaid.

She felt tired, but she couldn't fall down.It was six in the morning when she got home.She staggered upstairs, calculating money all the way.

Yu Dong's house can only be lived in for half a month, but she can no longer afford more money to solve the urgent need.

"Cheng Duanwu." A faint call came from above his head.

Cheng Duanwu raised his head subconsciously.Cheng Luoming's tense face came into view.

"Brother, why don't you sleep?"

Cheng Luoming was trembling slightly, Cheng Duanwu felt something was wrong when he saw it, and immediately changed his face: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" She hurried forward to help Cheng Luoming, but Cheng Luoming threw her away vigorously.

He was so angry that he hardly knew what strength he had.Cheng Duanwu was thrown against the wall by his strength, and there was a loud "bang".All the bones in my body felt like they were broken.

"Brother..." She almost groaned, her body hurt so much that she couldn't bear it even though she was already weak.

"Cheng Duanwu, tell me, where did you come back from?" Cheng Luoming forced himself to stand up straight, staring and questioning aggressively.

Cheng Duanwu was speechless. When she was waiting for the bus, she wanted to call Cheng Luoming, but she couldn't find the phone for a long time, and secretly prayed that it was dropped at a colleague's house.But Cheng Luoming, who was standing in front of her and lost his temper at the moment, revealed to her a fact that if you walk a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts.No matter how cautious she was, she was still very secretive.Her phone probably wasn't dropped at a colleague's house, but in a nightclub.Cheng Luoming had a serious face, his stern look was very similar to Cheng Tianda, Cheng Duanwu looked at it, almost crying.There was deep weariness in her voice, she almost begged and said: "Brother, go into the room first, let's talk if you have something to say, don't get excited, your body is important!"

Cheng Luoming smiled, and that smile was very cold, "Cheng Duanwu, this is the place where you said you can make money fast? Nightclubs? You want to throw away the Cheng family, don't you?"

"I do not have!"

Cheng Duanwu's categorical denial made Cheng Luoming's anger peak. He widened his eyes and almost shouted: "Cheng Duanwu, you really disappointed me! How did I tell you that you can't discredit the Cheng family even if you are poor and starving! You What happened? You have endured so many years of hard life, why are you depraved now? Could it be that Yu Dong took you for a few days and you couldn’t bear the hardship anymore? Cheng Duanwu, I don’t even know that you are Such a vain man."

Cheng Duanwu's tears burst down like a bank, and she was swept by the tide of grievances for a while, she bit her lips tightly and said: "Brother, I didn't, I didn't want to embarrass the Cheng family, But I can't help it! I won't be able to eat, and I will soon have no place to live. What can I do? Tell me, what can I do?"

Cheng Luoming sneered contemptuously. He took out a small dozen of banknotes from his pocket and threw them all at Cheng Duanwu, "This is the dirty money you earned? This is the dirty money you earned! I'd rather starve to death! I'd rather Sleeping on the street doesn't even bother to spend a dime! My Cheng family doesn't have a bastard like you!"

Pieces of money with different denominations drifted away slowly, like daggers, piercing Cheng Duanwu's heart to bloody blood.

She hated, she was wronged, but she didn't know how to vent it.She didn't know how to explain it, she felt so tired, so tired, how long would she be able to get rid of this painful fate?

She knelt down helplessly to pick up the money on the ground, one by one, and carefully dusted off the dust.She kept crying, crying hoarsely, and it took a long time to say sadly: "I didn't, brother, I really didn't do anything shameful." She explained so weakly.Now that Cheng Luoming is so angry and preconceived, what's the use of explaining her?She spoke weakly, her voice was so small that only she could hear, "The money I earn...is all clean money..."

She's just working as a cleaner in a nightclub?Who would believe it?Even she herself wanted to spit in disdain, let alone talk about others?

"Cheng Duanwu! You make me feel so sad..."

Cheng Luoming spoke more and more anxiously, his expression became more and more strange, he stared at Cheng Duanwu angrily, the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally, and after a while, his whole body began to twitch, before Cheng Duanwu could react Come here, only to hear a muffled "boom", Cheng Luoming fell to the ground with a bang...

Cheng Duanwu's whole body froze, and the next moment, she almost cried out heart-piercingly: "Brother——"

The sound of the wheels of the emergency bed rubbing against the ground was like a curse, and Cheng Duanwu's entire consciousness was focused on the regular and rapid sound.

Cheng Luoming had never had such a severe attack, his whole body convulsed and finally passed out.Cheng Duanwu called an ambulance in a hurry.

The door to the rescue room is always closed.The doctor's final reprimand is still vivid: "How did you treat my sister?! Why didn't you send her to the hospital for treatment after being ill for so many years! Do you know that the tumor in the patient's head is pressing on the small arteries in the brain, and now the arteries are bursting and bleeding seriously. One point, Da Luo Immortal will not be able to save him!"

Cheng Duanwu held the doctor's sleeve helplessly, "Doctor, please save my brother, please..."

The doctor flicked his sleeves seriously, "Why did you go so early? Epilepsy is no joke! Why didn't you go to the hospital! Now the patient is dying, and we can only try our best to save him."

For ten hours, during Cheng Luoming's ten hours in the ICU, the hospital had issued critical illness notices three times, and Cheng Duanwu signed the critical illness notice with trembling hands.

Cheng Duanwu only felt that her vision was blurred, and the black letters in front of her eyes were so unfamiliar that she didn't seem to recognize them all.

"...Now we are hospitalized in our hospital. Although we have been actively treated, but the current condition is getting worse...It may be life-threatening at any time...A critical illness notice is issued..." Cheng Duanwu struggled to identify, she could hardly believe that she was still alive just now How can a person judge life and death by a piece of paper all of a sudden?How can life be so fragile?

What does a burst arteriole in the brain mean?What does getting worse mean?
What does all this mean?Can anyone explain it to her?
She held the critical illness notice tightly and cried heartbreakingly.She regretted it so much, just now...just now, if she had followed Cheng Luoming more, maybe nothing would have happened...

How could there be a tumor in Cheng Luoming's head?When did it happen?She couldn't figure it out, she couldn't figure it out... She couldn't figure out why fate would make their precarious life worse...

Cheng Luoming's expenses in the ICU are too high. The cost of first aid plus various medical care is close to 5000 yuan a day. The nurses in the hospital sent her payment slips several times, and she was helpless holding a thick stack of payment slips. .Cheng Duanwu couldn't think of money even after thinking about it.She hated it so much, hated herself so much why was she so useless?He didn't even have money to save his brother's life.

She sat on the corridor of the hospital and cried helplessly. She was desperate, and the heavy life made her desperate. She no longer had the slightest fighting spirit to fight against fate.Her whole body trembled with grief, and she cried hoarsely, crying her heart and lungs apart.

what can she doIf you don't pay the money, your brother won't even be able to survive. Who can tell her, what can she do?
After sitting for three full hours, after three hours of tears, she finally made up her mind.

After begging the doctor hard, she was finally allowed to see Cheng Luoming. This was the first time she saw Cheng Luoming after 13 hours in the ICU.She was wearing a sterile suit and a mask to come in. The moment she saw Cheng Luoming, she could hardly confirm that the person in front of her was her brother.

His head, throat, and chest were cut open in several places, and tubes were inserted.Various potions and bags of blood were poured into his lifeless body.

Cheng Duanwu felt shocking.She knew that Cheng Luoming must be in pain, but he couldn't even express the pain, and her eyes filled with tears in an instant.She was heartbroken and regretful, but there was nothing she could do.

When she left the hospital, she didn't say anything like a machine, but repeatedly told the doctors and nurses in the hospital to try their best to save her.

She deceived herself and said: "I have money, money is not a problem, I must save my brother!"

But her heart was completely ashamed. If she left, she would go to hell and never recover.

Lu Yingqin had been a little absent-minded all day long, and when he left the company in the afternoon, it suddenly started raining, Guan Yi turned around and took an umbrella, and he waited where he was.

He looked up at the gray sky, not knowing why his mood seemed to be affected by the weather, and he became depressed.

He looked down at the time impatiently, it was neither early nor late, he was thinking about what to do for a while, since Yu Jiajia was sent away, he often had a lot of free time with nothing to do.

He was a little distracted all day today, and even a new special assistant in the secretary's office just jokingly said "where to go during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday" with other colleagues, and he lost his temper.

He stared into the distance, his head was in a mess, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Yingqin's vision briefly lost focus as a discomfited figure appeared in front of him. When he focused again, Cheng Duanwu, who was soaked all over his body, floated in front of him like a ghost.

He was too surprised to say a word.Cheng Duanwu's pale face made him inexplicably terrified.

Cheng Duanwu raised his head slowly, his big ethereal eyes were so dark that it made people feel distressed.Before Lu Yingqin could speak, Cheng Duanwu said in a low voice: "Lu Yingqin, I need money, a lot of money."
