Starlight is not as good as your allure
Chapter 13
Chapter 13
She is like a moon that goes with you like a shadow, but is forever lonely.That kind of loneliness is like a bewitching cold lamp during the journey, falling into the swamp of sin and self-struggle, it has a similar radiance to him.
He wants to be with her.
The snow on the road has been cleared, but there are still few vehicles.
Ye Qiao was wrapped in a white down jacket, her expression was so pale that she almost melted into the snow: "What's her name?"
Zhou Ting stared deeply at the road conditions, and replied with frowned eyebrows: "Ruan Feiyan."
"Ruan next to the ear knife?"
"Yes……"
The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and both of them vaguely guessed why the other party didn't speak.
Ye Qiao looked out the car window, his pupils were not focused, and said, "The prisoner who donated his heart to me is also named Ruan."
"I heard that her husband passed away early, and the daughter took her mother's surname without even seeing her father. Her husband committed illegal acts, and the family could not live in peace after his death. People who lost money and demanded their lives repeatedly came to the door. She was very sad. Great, she is a housekeeping aunt, and she can support both mother and daughter by herself."
The turbulent past, narrated in her mouth, is surprisingly flat.The warm air in the car made people drowsy, Ye Qiao's head was warm, and he couldn't even hear what he said in the drowsy state: "My father is very sorry for her."
"What are you sorry for?" Zhou Tingshen didn't dare to turn his head.
"She could have continued to live a good life as an ordinary person, but she was forced to be imprisoned due to an accident, and soon died of illness in prison. And all this is because of my father's selfishness towards me." Ye Qiao I didn't know who I was talking to, but I laughed absurdly, "Later, I heard that she did this willingly, in order to repay the master's family who took good care of her. The son of that family was once a student of my father."
Ye Qiao turned her head, Zhou Tingshen's side face reflected the snow light, and the outline had a distorted luster.Like flipping through a book of life and death, she suddenly changed the topic: "You said you had studied Chinese painting, remember? When my father holds a pen, the first joint of his index finger will straighten up. You are the same way."
With this posture, he left an indelible imprint on her heart.
The more people are afraid of something, the more they will attribute the clues to what in their hearts.I am afraid of being abandoned by my lover, so I feel mean and unkind; I am afraid of being scolded by my boss, so I am still anxious about doing things with all my heart; I am afraid of ghosts, so when I walk at night, I am afraid of corners and bushes, and I am worried that there will be foreign objects rushing towards my face. .
This is the ghost in her heart.She told him all about it.
Zhou Tingshen stopped at the red light and smoked a cigarette.He seldom touches cigarettes these days, but now he lights up in front of her and lowers the car window.The north wind is bitter, carrying the wind and snow, and blowing on people's faces, it hurts like a knife.One side of Zhou Ting's face was numb from the cold, and his lips trembled when he smoked.Facing the cold wind, Ye Qiao's premonition became stronger and stronger.
Her forehead was swollen and painful, as if even the seasons were blocking her, but she said stubbornly: "My father only accepted one student. His surname is Zhou."
"Stop talking." Zhou Tingshen closed the car window, and the airtight space suddenly filled with smoke and lacked oxygen.
Cold and smoky, bound to endure the same.
He stifled his cigarette out angrily, not understanding why this was happening.
Fortunately, there are still three kilometers left, so we must stand together through thick and thin.There are urgent matters now, but it has become a relief.Ye Qiao really stopped talking, and laughed at himself: "You already knew. You just didn't tell me." In an unquestionable statement tone.
Zhou Tingshen said nothing, praying that the journey would last forever.
But the cherished time passed the fastest, and arrived at the city hospital after a few turns.
Ruan Feiyan was lying on the white hospital bed, and two nurses beside her came in with a smile, one said: "I just saw Ye Qiao in the outpatient building, she is more beautiful in real life than on TV." The other said: "Your first time See you? She also came to our hospital for treatment of her burns in the filming last time, and it's a big scene, and people send flowers every day." When the two saw the newly awakened patient staring at them with wide eyes, they quietly stopped talking.
One of the nurses gave her a basic examination and told her not to touch the wound with water. Ruan Feiyan cooperated very well and only asked, "Did my family members notify me? Why haven't they come yet?"
The nurse was well-informed, and the little girl who was fussy and fussy had shallow wounds, was active in treatment, and had a stronger sense of survival than medical staff like them. She didn't need to do psychological counseling at all, so she responded, "Notice, it should be here now." .”
Ruan Feiyan held the gauze on her wrist and smiled. The nurse couldn't stand it, and advised: "You little girls, don't get overwhelmed by trivial matters. If you have conflicts, you must resolve them properly. It is useless to hurt your body." Ruan Feiyan Fei Yan glanced at her coldly, lying on the hospital bed and lingering.
Her condition did not require hospitalization, but the patient was bedridden, and the nurse had no reason to drive her away, holding the medical record book, shaking her head and leaving.
It was not Zhou Tingshen who came in to visit.
Ye Qiao walked past two nurses alone and leaned quietly at the door.
Her steps were too light, Ruan Feiyan saw her after a while, her smile suddenly collapsed: "What are you doing here?"
Ye Qiao was surprised by her prickly attitude and asked, "Do you know me?"
Ruan Feiyan's eyes flickered, and she made an excuse: "I don't know anyone who is a big star."
This may be able to deceive others, but Ye Qiao has always had the ability to see people's eyes clearly. She closed the door behind her, sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed, and said, "You look a lot like your mother."
Ruan Feiyan's expression flashed panic for a moment, but she didn't know how to deny it: "How do you know..."
"My heart can recognize you." Ye Qiao lightly tapped her left chest, and said, "What about you, do you really know me because I'm an actor?"
Ruan Feiyan turned her face away, and sneered, "You don't have to put on an act. Didn't you come here just for Brother Tingshen?" Her expression was proud and provocative, "Do you think I pester him? Oh, you think I don't take the initiative If I look for him, will he care about my life or death?"
Ye Qiao smiled: "I didn't come here for him. I want to talk to you about the matter between you and me."
Ruan Feiyan's expression froze, and she slowly glanced at her.
"At the door of my apartment, I can often find handmade dolls, blood red ones, do you remember?" Ye Qiao imitated the opening and closing of the doll's mouth with the palm of his hand, while capturing the strange color on Ruan Feiyan's face.
After all, he is a child, and his methods and defenses are vulnerable.
She softened her tone: "I know that Zhou Tingshen won't leave you alone. We all owe you, I know. But what have you done to rely on his guilt? Your revenge on me is just talking with each other in the rented house every day Hang out with people, and then sew a few puppet dolls to intimidate me, or send someone to secretly take pictures of me and him to try to slander my reputation?"
"You..." Ruan Feiyan's blood-losing cheeks turned pale again.
"No matter how much you hate me and my father, at least you have to live like a human being, so that we have to face up to your existence. Instead of crying, making trouble and hanging yourself like this." Ye Qiao shook her head lightly, "I don't accept such revenge."
In the corridor, Zhou Ting was leaning deeply by the window, with a row of blue seats beside him, reflecting his blurred silhouette.
He had known such a day would come.
From the first time he touched her bones, kissed the beating of his heart under her skin.He thought that there should be an end to competing with himself for so many years.Where it starts, it ends.
She is like a moon that goes with you like a shadow, but is forever lonely.That kind of loneliness is like a bewitching cold lamp during the journey, falling into the swamp of sin and self-struggle, it has a similar radiance to him.
He wants to be with her.
The golden lighter was in front of the window, a spark sprang up, and then went out in the cold wind.So many times, there was no fire again.
Oil and gas leaked silently and were blown away by the cold wind.
I don't know how many times I tried, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed.Ye Qiao came out and faced him.
Zhou Ting looked like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time, his vocal cords vibrated a little dryly: "How is it?"
"The wound is very shallow and there is no serious problem. She is in a good mood and actively cooperates with the treatment." Ye Qiao walked towards him with her hands in her pockets. After saying this, she asked, "Do you want to go in and see for yourself?"
After thinking about it for two seconds, Zhou Tingshen said, "Forget it." He threw the lighter into the trash can with a "boom", "She succeeded once, and she might make trouble every day in the future."
He has a thorough understanding of Ruan Feiyan's character.It's just that I was guilty in the past, and I didn't want to be harshly disciplined like ordinary parents. I thought I could influence people with sincerity, but instead spoiled people like they are now.
Sometimes he wondered if his guilt hurt her instead.However, he was too young at that time, unable to resist the wishes of his parents, and could only use his limited strength to compensate the other party, but he was so out of order.
Zhou Ting was deeply ashamed, and followed Ye Qiao slowly.
Walking to the garden of the inpatient department, the ground was slippery and icy. The two of them walked against the frost and snow, and they had the illusion that they had reached a white head.
Zhou Tingshen spoke first: "What did you tell her just now?"
"Talked about nonsense. Tell her you're not everyone's 'Prozac' and I can refer her to a therapist if she needs it."
Ye Qiao wrote it down, but his breath gradually deepened: "My father is a very proud and noble person. When he was unknown, he couldn't even present a painting to a high-ranking official who admired him. My favorite composition topic since I was a child was 'I My father', even every time I write 'my mother', I have to praise my father endlessly. I can't accept that he has become the kind of person in Ruan Feiyan's eyes for me."
Even though the father's love for her is to put on her the crown of sin that removes the uncleanness, she still understands the weight of this love.
She once wanted to be the pride of that man, tried her best to be the glory in his heart, but in the end she became the only stain in his clean life.
"I'm sorry." In the end, Zhou Tingshen thought he was going to end in silence, but suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but wrap Ye Qiao into his arms.
The deep breath condensed into fog in the cold air of deep winter, a long shapeless mass.Ye Qiao bumped into his chest, causing pain in his heart, and felt that all the sighs seemed to be solidified in the ice and snow.
She stretched out her red hand and patted him twice on the back: "It's okay. I don't blame you It's just that seeing her reminds me of what it's like to have a bad conscience. For many people, I feel bad conscience. "
Zhou Ting held her tighter and tighter, but her throat rolled and choked.
Like comforting a wounded beast, Ye Qiao stroked his soft coat gently: "You approach me step by step, is it because of me, or because of guilt for this heart?"
"You," he said.
"I thought about giving up, that time on the boat." Zhou Ting leaned deeply on her neck, "Liang Ziluo persuaded her many times, saying that it would be best if we didn't meet. But I couldn't do it."
The path was blocked by solid ice, and Ye Qiao had nowhere to go. She took a deep breath, and the smell of crushed ice filled her nose: "I don't know what mood I am in now." It was actually very calm, but she knew it would not be so peaceful , some restless things are too deep, and she can't even notice the ice that has formed in her heart.
She said: "Sometimes fate likes to play jokes on people. I just didn't expect this joke to play on me."
A heavy snow fell suddenly at night, and the airports in several neighboring cities were suspended.
The world is plunged into a boundless dark night ravaged by wind and snow.
Ye Qiao's cold worsened and he developed a fever.Zhou Tingshen took her temperature, and it was 38 degrees five, but she stubbornly refused to go to the hospital.
A large bed cuts a watershed, and the two sleep on both ends with rolled quilts.In the middle of the night, Ye Qiao was so feverish that he burrowed into Zhou Ting's arms in a daze, murmuring something.
Zhou Ting got up and turned on the light, the weak light couldn't illuminate the huge room, there was only a small light for people to cuddle with each other.
Ye Qiao regained consciousness, but felt a splitting headache. She opened her mouth and didn't know what she was talking about: "I didn't apologize to her."
In the dream, she was still entangled with the past repeatedly, and she really wasn't as calm and indifferent as she appeared.
Zhou Tingshen gave a soft "um" and hugged her skeleton that seemed to be falling apart.
Her voice was deep and quiet: "She likes you. Can't you see it?"
Zhou Ting's deep eyes drooped slightly, and he said after a long time, "I can tell."
So in the past two years, he seldom went to visit, thinking that distance can kill the girl's immature affection.
With sore eyes, Ye Qiao forced herself to hold back tears: "I feel guilty. But she likes you, so I didn't apologize."
She said in a hoarse voice, "Apologizing is a waste of sincerity. If there is no sincerity that is willing to give everything to make up, such an apology is just a fake."
Hot tears accumulated in his body, turning into a drowning flood.
Ye Qiao bit her lower lip tightly, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Tingshen. I really want to apologize to her."
Zhou Ting hugged her even tighter, Ye Qiao's body temperature was so hot that he felt like a cold-blooded animal.If we hadn't been so arrogant in the past, we wouldn't be where we are today.Everything is the sin of the past, no matter who comes to list the crimes for him, he can admit it.She was the only one who pointed all the criminal evidence at herself and placed him under an invisible umbrella.
In the past two days, she seemed to have shed all the tears she had shed in the past ten years.Ye Qiao thought she was talking in her sleep, and soon fell into a deeper and darker dream. The kid from hell got into her head, saying that she deserved to die ten years ago, why did she have to live until today.Ruan Feiyan's questioning was hidden in sharp horror, asking her: "You have already robbed my mother, why are you robbing him from me?"
Wearing the body of guilt, it seems that as long as you live, you will make a big mistake.
With a high fever until the next morning, Ye Qiao was a little delirious.
Qianxi was called to be a professional nurse, and she brought a doctor with her, and gave Ye Qiao an intravenous needle before giving up.
When the cousin's escort was by Ye Qiao's side, she was so anxious that she was still unconscious: "The fever is so serious, if you don't wake up, you will definitely have to be sent to the hospital."
"She doesn't want to go." Zhou Tingshen has tried many times, and Ye Qiao can always burst out the power that does not belong to the patient at the moment of being moved, and resist the treatment without hesitation.
"Cousin's body has been debilitating, what should I do if it burns out..." Qianxi used a clay formula to apply a towel to her, and was in a hurry, "Cousin's father just fell ill. I heard that he wanted to see her before, and he was just about to board the plane. Had a heart attack, got stopped by airport staff and taken to the hospital, and hasn't been much better since. The gene is so bad!"
Zhou Tingshen gestured for silence, signaling her not to speak at Ye Qiao's bedside.
Qian Xi scratched her hair and said, "I might as well ask for leave to live here. If something happens to my cousin, my dad will definitely ask me to come and see her!"
Zhou Tingshen gave her the master bedroom and slept in the guest room by himself.
When I got up at night, I went to the porch by accident, and the color of "Secrets of the World" could not be distinguished under the dim light.Zhou Tingshen lit the candlestick enshrining the statue of Jesus for the first time. In the warm orange light, the frame merged with the candle flame in his eyes, as if being lit.
Qian Xi yawned and walked out of the bedroom, and saw Zhou Ting standing quietly in the entrance, like a night walker embracing the fireplace in a British drama.She walked over drowsily and comforted: "My cousin's fever has subsided, and she just fell asleep. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I will see my lively and lovely cousin! Don't worry."
Zhou Ting said with a deep smile, thank you.I knew in my heart that it might be even harder to see her cheerful face when I woke up.
Qian Xi smacked her lips, and suddenly became serious: "Actually, having conflicts is a good thing. When conflicts erupt, it means that there is a possibility of resolution. Unlike some people, who have done nothing wrong, but because of practical factors, there is no possibility of being together."
The first time Zhou Tingshen found out that Ye Qiao, a carefree cousin, also had a heart, he smiled and asked her, "Are you tired? I'll make some supper for your cousin later, and you can eat some too."
Qianxi rubbed her belly in surprise, and asked "Is that okay?", not understanding how this prospective cousin-in-law, who is good looking and cooks more delicious food than his good looks, has offended her cousin.
This time, however, the source of the problem was different.Zhou Tingshen even doubted the possibility of a solution.
Ye Qiao rested for two days after waking up, raised his eyebrows as if he was a guest, and neither of them said anything about the problem.Finally, on the third day, she proposed at the dinner table: "Shall I go back to live?"
Zhou Ting was silent, said "OK", and called her to repair the heating facility.
They still confirm each other's intentions, but they don't know how to face each other. It seems to be a sin to laugh as usual.In order not to be locked up at home, Ye Qiao made an appointment with a personal fitness trainer recommended by her friends for a long time, and sweated profusely in the gym every day.The overdraft of physical energy and the aches and pains of the muscles and bones made the body extremely real, and the soreness of the mind became second.
The personal trainer's surname is Fang. Given her history of heart disease, she tailors an exercise program for her, but every time Ye Qiao exceeds the quota, and she doesn't want to get off the machine once she gets on the machine.Coach Fang worried: "I've never seen a female star like you. Before Pei Xindan took the costume martial arts scene, she also asked me to practice for a while, and I'm not as ruthless as you."
Ye Qiao smiled vaguely: "Are you worried that I will die here?"
Unexpectedly, Coach Fang shook his head and said, "That's not true. I know a Russian buddy who has had a heart transplant just like you. He is more ruthless than you. He broke a leg and is now doing extreme sports. So , what hurdles are there to overcome? As long as you dare, you can also play skydiving with a different heart."
dare?Ye Qiao asked herself.He couldn't hear what he said later, and when he finished speaking, Ye Qiao regained consciousness in a trance and said, "I have an awards ceremony to attend tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I won't be coming."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
Ye Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Maybe the day after tomorrow."
Coach Fang smiled heartily: "I know you are like this, it must be a whim. It's pointless not to persist after venting." He squeezed Ye Qiao's wrist and tested it, "Look, so thin, not even a dog's paw There is meat. Seriously, exercise more, it’s good for your body and your mood.”
Ye Qiao was slapped by Amway inexplicably, but all the attention was on his wrist.The touch of the strange man after sweating, the palm was rough but without calluses, the discomfort made her withdraw her arm calmly: "I will pay more attention in the future. Thank you."
On the way home, the snow accumulated in the past few days has melted, and there are occasional dirty residual snow on the bare tree stumps beside the road.
The vegetation was mottled and hard to distinguish, Ye Qiao looked up and breathed in the clear winter air.The scarf around her neck was about to slump down her shoulders, she didn't bother to stretch her hands out of her pockets, and kept her neck stiff in the same position for a few seconds.
The scarf slipped off anyway.Her neck was pulled by the gravity of the falling object, and she resigned herself to pulling out her hand——
But a hand stretched out from behind, helped her pick up the scarf, and wrapped it around her neck tightly regardless of the shape.The cuffs of the black coat exuded the scent of Virginia cedar, which was the perfume she picked out for him.
Ye Qiao turned around and saw Zhou Tingshen.He had just finished shopping, the knuckles of the shopping bag were exposed to the air, and he was light red. He tied a knot for her with one hand, and smiled at her with a familiar yet unfamiliar smile.
He has been there for several days, seeing her go out early and return late, returning home exhausted and exhausted.After many inquires, I found out that she has been exercising recently. Although she is tired, her complexion is much better than before.Zhou Ting stared deeply into her startled eyes, as if they hadn't seen each other for many years, which made him annoyed and amused: "Is there any need to be so surprised to see me? Where have you been these two days?"
The tone was relaxed, but Ye Qiao always felt that it was just whitewashing.Including his warm smile, the movement of pinching her hair behind her ears, and every move, it was like whitewashing the peace.
She felt like she was in a daze. Ever since she met Ruan Feiyan, she could no longer get along with him naturally. Three words came out of her throat: "Gym."
Zhou Tingshen entered the unit building side by side with her and helped her press the elevator.The two stepped in together, and he asked, "How is it after practice?"
"is acceptable."
"Coach man and woman, have you eaten your tofu?" He was full of grievances that he hadn't seen each other for days, turning into jealousy, staring at her with black eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Ye Qiao said with a straight face, "Female."
Zhou Tingshen hugged her sore waist with both hands, and pinched her as if punishing: "Really?"
How could it be true.Ye Qiao panicked and bent over to hide, unable to continue telling this lie: "You don't want to believe a white lie."
When the elevator arrived, Zhou Tingshen refused to let her go back to 2301 no matter what, he grabbed her hand and pulled her in the opposite direction.She whispered: "What are you doing—"
Zhou Ting pressed her firmly on the corridor, and sighed deeply against her forehead: "Qiao Qiao, you don't know how much I miss you."
Ye Qiao moved her lower lip twice, unable to speak.
Zhou Ting took a deep breath: "I know you need time to digest, and you have to think about it. But can you stop avoiding me?" Ye Qiao's expression turned frosty, and he lowered his voice after hearing his last sentence, "It's like a husband and wife separated."
She suddenly turned her face to the side and smiled.
But Zhou Tingshen became serious: "I will take responsibility for what I did wrong. I may not be able to make up for it in this life, but I will not spend the remaining decades on redemption. You think I am selfish, It's okay to dislike me for having that kind of past, you can explain it clearly, okay?"
After a long time, Zhou Ting felt that time was about to freeze.
He didn't feel flustered and inferior, but if even he couldn't be firm, there was no need to provoke him in the first place.
Ye Qiao gradually pressed her lower lip, and said in a low voice, "I don't despise you..."
Zhou Ting shuddered deeply.Ye Qiao's icy hands pressed against his palm, and the fingers interlocked tightly, making him tired of questioning the authenticity of these words, and he just wanted to warm his hands and heart.
As far as Ye Qiao was concerned, the position of the thin calluses on his palm was so familiar and appropriate, which gave her a sense of ignorance and fearlessness.
"I don't mind. Really," she said.
Zhou Ting stood stiffly, turned his face away, his brows were indifferent.Ye Qiao plucked up her courage and tried to make jokes: "It's no use if I don't hide from you, you won't even look at me."
As expected, he turned his head, and in the blink of an eye, she held his face.Ye Qiao stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the lips: "Okay. I miss you too... I miss you every day."
Immediately afterwards, she said helplessly, "I really have to go back and pack my luggage." She raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, "There are still two hours left. I'm flying to Yangcheng tonight, and there will be an awards ceremony tomorrow."
Zhou Ting frowned deeply: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't have a chance to talk about it two days ago."
The lines between his brows are deeper.Fortunately, her next words were reassuring: "Didn't I plan to go to your house for dinner at the beginning of the Chinese New Year? The year-end ceremony happened to be held in Yangcheng, and it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, so I didn't push it away."
Zhou Tingshen finally stretched his eyebrows: "Then I will go with you."
Ye Qiao nodded, just in time to receive a phone call from Shen Ting, she stepped back and said, "Shen Ting called. I'll go back to take care of things first, and call me when you arrive."
That night's flight was already sold out, so Ye Qiao took his assistant one step ahead. When they arrived at the airport, Zhou Tingshen's message was sent to her mobile phone, telling her that he would take the noon flight the next day.
Ye Qiao also saw Shen Ting, and only then did he know that there were ups and downs on the Internet. The iCloud incident escalated, and the little-known Zhao Mo suddenly became the target of public criticism, because an anonymous actress in the same group revealed that she had had affairs with Gu Jin and many other directors.No wonder, Ye Qiao received many calls from Zhao Mo on his mobile phone, but he ignored them when he was ill, and when he woke up, it was already past time, and he was entangled with other things, so he didn't pay attention to them.
On the other hand, Xu Yinshan's black material has also been shaken off, mistresses and mistresses are everywhere, and the innocent and friendly public image in the past is gone, and some people in the circle even viciously predict that she will only be able to take part in third-grade movies in the future .
A lot of information poured into her ears through Shen Ting, the gossip hub. In the end, Ye Qiao caught the most important news.
Cheng Jiang had a miscarriage.
Cheng Jiang has taken away several children, and may face infertility if she has another miscarriage.In order for the fetus in her womb to survive, she endured debridement and rehabilitation for extensive burns without anesthesia injections.
Ye Qiao once visited Lu Qing, who was injured in a similar situation to Cheng Jiang's. The tragedy was unbearable to look at. Cheng Jiang endured it tenaciously, but still failed to save the child.For this reason, Gu Jin wandered around, and it became a well-known secret in the circle.Shen Ting also learned the news through the crew members who often worked with him.
I heard that after the release of the original "Watchmen", Cheng Jiang has a good chance to compete for the best actress in the film and television festival at the end of the year.Gu Jin also planned to propose to her at the awards ceremony.
However, as time passed, this award unexpectedly fell on Ye Qiao by mistake.
On the day of the award ceremony, the designer tailored a red dress for her, with half a rose made of lotus leaves on the side.The high-saturation red makes Ye Qiaofu whiter than snow, and the hairpin is on the plum branch.
Gu Jin was absent from the awards ceremony for the best director of the year, and the LCD screen in the VIP single room broadcast live the catwalk before the awards ceremony.He leaned against the room and was pale, staring at the missing rose, walked slowly over the red carpet tens of meters, and waved to the camera.Ye Qiao's dark eyes reflected scattered spots of light, refracting light like diamond products.
Qiangwei smiled lightly and bloomed against the cold wind.He wished viciously that she was not doing well.
But the host's high-pitched tone and Ye Qiao's cheers told him that she was fine.
She will be the queen of the night.
Cheng Jiang had undergone debridement surgery, and the wound was still in the healing period. The once dignified and luxurious face was scarred by the fire and needed skin grafting.She was no longer as radiant as before, and the pain of losing her child became the last straw that crushed her, causing her to lose even her indifferent capital, and she looked extremely depressed: "You want to go back and find her, don't you?"
Gu Jin came back to his senses suddenly, his eyes moved away from the screen, the bright light and shadow still stayed on the retina, and he didn't know how to place his eyes: "What are you talking about?"
"You don't have to pretend to be indifferent, maybe it's okay to deceive the little girl." Cheng Jiang smiled miserably, "Isn't it because she was with me at that time that she couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with you? The most important thing in your heart Career has always been what you want, and you can even use marriage as a bargaining chip for success. I just happen to meet your requirements."
"When you found out that I had a child, did you include him? First, the announcement of the premiere, followed by the proposal, engagement, wedding, and the soon-to-be-born child." Over ten million publicity investment.Cheng Jiang lay in a vast expanse of whiteness, feeling that the color of the world seemed to fade away with it. In the past, he thought he was calm and mature, and each took what he needed, but in the end it turned into a calculation that failed.
"Gu Jin, you think that life is also a play directed by you. In the end, the calculations are empty, how do you feel?"
The former movie queen was like a piece of jade that had lost its luster, leaving only the stubbornness of a rock, and said to him: "Go back and find her. I don't need you to pity me."
On the TV screen, Ye Qiao took the trophy from the award presenter, leaned over to face the microphone, and his clear voice embellished the stereotyped acceptance speech beautifully.
"Standing here today, there are too many people to thank. Director Lai, the award presenter, is my mentor. Taking this trophy from him means a lot to me."
……
"But what I want to thank most is a person."
The once lovely smile is still in front of her eyes. She once said that if she stands on the podium one day, she hopes that he will be the one who presents her the award. When she expresses her thanks, she will announce to the world that he is unique. that person.
Gu Jin quickly extinguished the live broadcast.
He put down the remote control panel, and the small fireworks outside the window echoed the star-studded grand ceremony, flashing dazzling brilliance in the cold night sky, but there was only boundless loneliness in his eyes, and he didn't know who he was saying: "I can't go back."
That person is no longer him.
Yangcheng, in a similar ward.
The same scene was broadcast on the TV in the single ward.Ye Qiao lowered her head, and the once immature girl put on the silver and white crown, and her gestures and gestures already had the charm of a woman.
She smiled lightly: "What I want to thank most is a person."
The audience was silent, Ye Qiao raised his head, he couldn't see all the guests clearly under the spotlight, his eyes were out of focus, as if he could see through the screen——
"He's my father."
"Thank you for the life he gave me."
Cheng Su turned around silently, looking at the pale and tired middle-aged man on the hospital bed.There was a cloudy light in his eyes, but his refined face was aged beyond his age, and the light from the digital screen was changing in his bottomless eyes.
Until the screen switched back to the host, Xu Zang still stared at the screen.That was his most beloved daughter, Qiao Qiao, his dearest relative in this world.
He once watched her birth with the most ecstatic eyes, and accompanied her to grow up with the most cautious attitude.
In the end, she traded her life of innocence and pride for her second life.
At this moment, Ye Qiao returned to the backstage and took off the heavy tassel earrings.
In the mirror, her appearance is six points similar to Xu Zang.Since she was a child, no one asked her whether she looked like her father or mother, because it was obvious at a glance that she and Xu Zang were carved out of the same mold.
As expected, the acceptance speech just now did not arouse any reaction.She seemed to just follow the script and say the most bureaucratic thank you.
Fireworks lift off and hearts beat.The sound of blood pounding on the eardrum is really beautiful, like the moment when fireworks burst.
Anyway, thank you for giving me two lives.
The flight was delayed, and when Zhou Tingshen arrived at the hotel, it was already late at night.
He knocked on Ye Qiao's door through the dim lights and fireworks all over the city.Ye Qiao had just gotten out of the bath, and opened the door in a bathrobe. The dusty man flicked his handbag into the room, and when he entered the room, there was a bitter kiss.
Ye Qiao closed the door with difficulty, and said in a messy breath, "I have relatives..."
Zhou Ting cursed deeply, she thought he came here in such a hurry just for that matter.But as soon as he let go, Ye Qiao's face was pale and bleeding, and his eyes were misty, which made him unable to get angry.
"uncomfortable?"
Ye Qiao flattened her mouth: "It hurts...it never hurt before, but today I walked such a long red carpet in the cold wind in a dress, showing my arms, legs, back and chest. No matter how many body warming stickers I put on, It's still cold." His arms wrapped around his neck like bones, and his frail face was filled with the expression of a little girl.Zhou Ting really hoped that she could always look at him with such dependent eyes, and hoped so hard that his heart was boiling hot.
Without thinking about it, he murmured softly, "It's been so long that there's been no movement."
No matter how softly she still heard it.Ye Qiao snorted, "You can't..."
The appearance of showing off his power is only relying on his relatives, Zhou Tingshen can't do it personally.
"I have to fly half of China to see you, who is to blame?" Zhou Tingshen was fierce and depressed, with a bad tone, "Why are you still standing?"
"Ok?"
Zhou Ting picked her up impatiently, lifted the quilt and put her on the bed, touched her calf under the bathrobe: "It's so cold, whoever hurts you if you don't."
He warmed her cold skin with the palm of his hand. The warmth came and went, making Ye Qiao feel uncontrollable, and said sourly, "Isn't it just to open the door for you? I just washed it." After taking a shower, who has time to get dressed."
He helped her cover the quilt and asked, "where are the clothes?"
Ye Qiao kicked her toes and pointed to the desk.
Zhou Tingshen went over and took out a set of cashmere pajamas for her to change into. Ye Qiao was still chilled, and kept frowning as he held his arm.Zhou Tingshen was about to go out and buy her painkillers, but Ye Qiao held her back and couldn't move: "That stuff only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you eat it now, it will accumulate in the future, and it will hurt even more." Zhou Tingshen was speechless: "Where did you hear that?" Qiao Zhenzhen has a saying: ""Huang Di Nei Jing".
After I finished speaking, I felt that I was making up strong words mechanically and unreasonably.
Zhou Tingshen was convinced, and found out his only knowledge of female physiology: "Then what should I do? Make you brown sugar water?"
Ye Qiao hugged him like a bear, wrinkled his nose, and said, "It's hard to drink."
"Good medicine tastes bitter."
"Anyway, it's hard to drink."
During the special period, Ye Qiao was more stubborn than usual. When Zhou Tingshen was completely at his wit's end, she said angrily, "Can't you just stay with me for a while?"
Zhou Tingshen's movements faltered, he smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it just to accompany you?"
He finally lay down firmly, without tossing or thinking about anything, quietly hugging her for a while, covering her belly with his palms and rubbing gently.Ye Qiao was especially afraid of the cold at the moment, so she untied his coat and lay down. Zhou Ting wrapped her tightly, her thin body hugging like two kangaroos as if nothing was there.
Zhou Ting planted a deep kiss on her frowning brows, and regretted, "I shouldn't have taken this job back then. Since I had half a month's vacation, why would I attend an award ceremony?"
Ye Qiao smiled, knowing that what he said was full of anger.
After a few minutes, he changed his position and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Ye Qiao buried her face: "It hurts."
Zhou Ting deeply felt the touch of his subordinates. She was awkward for a while, and there was a little more flesh on her stomach. It was quite unpleasant, and asked, "Have you gained weight in the past two days?"
"Exercising every day, I'm too tired to eat too much, I'm probably fat." Ye Qiao was also surprised, other people's exercise is to lose weight, but here she is to gain weight.
"Don't you suffer from insomnia?"
"Ah."
"It means that she was thin in the past because she was physically weak." Zhou Tingshen was still thinking about how she was able to be broad-minded and fat during the Cold War for a second, but after summarizing this second, all she could think about was to cultivate her habit of exercising in the future.He and Ye Qiao talked together, and suddenly thought of something wrong, "However, I need to change a coach for you first."
"I'm still thinking about this grudge." Ye Qiao laughed, "I didn't do anything to me, so don't be so mediocre."
"More than 1000 million fans are thinking about you, can you not be tighter?" Zhou Ting teased her deeply, Ye Qiao smiled and felt more pain, and gasped.
Zhou Tingshen was about to say a few words of comfort when the phone rang.
Liang Zirao had to answer the phone call.He said "Hello" impatiently, Liang Zirao thought he had ruined something good at first, and teased: "Why, you entered Ruanrou Township, plan to deny your relatives?"
Zhou Ting was not in the mood to tease her: "Talk about something."
"What day do you plan to go home? The last time I called, I only said that I would bring my girlfriend back, but I didn't say who it was. Dad was so happy that he kept talking about this matter, pulling me to ask things, saying that you have been here for so many years. It's not easy to settle down, as long as she's a girl from a decent family, with good conduct and good conditions, our family can be considered a daughter-in-law."
Having said that, Zhou Tingshen remained silent, quietly waiting for Liang Zirao to say the expected turning point——
"I didn't dare to confess to Dad. Dad always thought that being in the entertainment industry is not a business. It's okay to be an ordinary female star, but she is still Ye Qiao. You have to solve this matter yourself."
After saying that, Liang Zirao listened carefully, unexpectedly he laughed and said without any concern, "I know."
She was furious: "So, when will you come back?"
Zhou Ting covered his phone deeply, and asked Ye Qiao angrily, "Can I walk tomorrow?"
Ye Qiao replied in a low voice: "This thing will hurt for a day or two at most. It will definitely be better by tomorrow night."
Liang Zirao vaguely heard the whisper on the other end of the phone, Virgo's obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she couldn't hear clearly, but Zhou Tingshen's voice was suddenly clear, which made her deaf: "Then come back tomorrow night."
"Come back for dinner?"
"Well. Let the taste be lighter, she has a lot of taboos recently."
The younger brother, who usually doesn't care about anything, suddenly gave her an order, and Liang Ziluo felt that the sun was coming out to the west: "Tsk tsk... your sister, I'm going to be fed up with you to death. Come on, when will you come back without a table of vegetables? Let you The ones at home will follow you to eat grass."
At the other end of the night, Ruan Feiyan ran exhaustedly on the night-shrouded streets of Yangcheng. A black car, like a falcon, was playing with its prey. There was a malicious laugh.The little girl returned to Yangcheng at the end of the year, but she didn't expect that this group of gangsters would also catch up here, following her all the way since she got off the train.
She finally exhausted her strength and could only stumble forward.As if the Falcon had had enough fun, the speed of the car suddenly increased, and it flicked its tail to stop Ruan Feiyan.
At the same time, as if resigned to her fate, she pressed the dial button with trembling hands.
Before the call was dialed, a few men dressed in rough clothes got out of the car, and their mobile phones were slapped flying. Ruan Feiyan was pushed to the ground by the force, her eyes were wet and bloodshot, and her voice was crying: "Don't, Don't hit me. I'll just go with you."
"You're sensible." The leading young man hooked his mouth, and when he spoke, there was a lingering smell of smoke, and he sneered, "Isn't it good to be like this earlier? What kind of obedient student are you, playing with the master and running away."
Ruan Feiyan calmed down her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and begged in a low voice: "Please let me go... I won't come to you again after I said it, so just pretend that I don't exist, can't you?"
The man laughed absurdly: "Little girl, how old are you this year? We are not a charity organization. We released the photos for you. After using them, we want to run away? Which onion do you think you are? If it weren't for you You're pretty and a chick, how can I play with you, you really think of yourself as someone." Then he hugged her into the car by the waist.
Ruan Feiyan struggled violently, knelt by the car door to resist, and was slapped by someone, the back of her head hit the door frame with a "boom", her eyes brushed against the spikes on the old door frame, and blood flowed profusely.
She fainted from the excruciating pain, limp and slumped.
The beating person panicked: "This...how do I explain this?"
At the same moment, a car drove up from the other side of the strip with its headlights on them and its horn shrill.
"Hurry up, throw people away, go!"
The black car drove away, and only Ruan Feiyan's mobile phone screen was still on in the dark night, reading the call time every minute.
When Zhou Tingshen arrived, the group of people had already disappeared. The road was remote and quiet, and the end of the year was approaching. There were almost no people in the cold winter night.He saw the people on the ground from afar and slammed on the brakes.
Ye Qiao also saw a familiar figure with a blurred outline, and his clenched hands were tense under the pale light of the street lamp.
"there."
Zhou Ting got out of the car to take a look, and it was Ruan Feiyan. Her hair was messy, and the blood oozed from her eyes flowed from her cheeks to the collar of her white coat, she was unconscious.He frowned, carried him into the car, and quickly slammed the door.
When he arrived at the hospital, there was a large bloodstain on the back seat.
The lights in the operating room were turned on, and the turmoil of the whole night fell into a deathly silence.In the quiet corridor, only the red emergency light was blinking. Ye Qiao was still in physical pain, curled up on the hospital bench with a pale face.
Zhou Ting squatted halfway in front of her, put the clothes on her, and wrapped them tightly: "I'll ask Liang Zirao to pick you up back to the hotel. You have a good rest, I'm here, huh?"
"No..." She frowned in pain, "If you're leaving now, why did you come here just now?"
Speaking of this, he became angry: "I shouldn't have let you come just now."
Ye Qiao was about to fall asleep when she received Ruan Feiyan's call.There was a lot of noise on the phone, only the sound of struggling and insulting.The situation was urgent, and she insisted on going with her, and he didn't waste time mediating.
Ye Qiao smiled lightly: "How did you know she was there just now?"
Zhou Ting was silent for a moment: "She only knows one place in Yangcheng, my house, and there are no buses at this time, so she will definitely take this shortcut."
Ye Qiao slowly turned her face away: "Oh, the little tadpole is looking for his mother."
Zhou Tingshen pressed a kiss on her forehead helplessly: "I'm still jealous right now."
When Liang Zirao arrived at the hospital, the first thing he saw was this picture. Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou's father who came with him after hearing the news, and introduced, "That is Ye Qiao. I was going to meet you formally tomorrow. Yes, I didn't expect that girl from the Ruan family to make such a fuss."
Ye Qiao watched Liang Zirao and his party appear in the corridor, leaned into Zhou Tingshen's ear, and said softly, "Your sister and the others are here."
Zhou Ting frowned deeply, and turned his head with a gloomy face, his eyes were as dark as the deep well of Kuiye.
Seeing his expression, Zhou's father was so angry that his beard trembled slightly, and he took two steps forward on crutches: "Why, are you going to deny me as a father?"
Zhou Tingshen looked away lightly.
Liang Zirao, who had long been accustomed to the tense atmosphere between father and son, stood on the sidelines calmly, but it was Ye Qiao who gave her a look for help.Liang Zirao pursed her lips helplessly.
Ye Qiao could only break the silence alone, and said softly, "Hello, Uncle."
To her surprise, when Father Zhou looked down at her, his expression was much gentler. Seeing that her lips were pale, he asked with concern: "Why is the little girl so pale?"
Ye Qiao glanced at Zhou Tingshen shyly, and said guiltily, "It's okay...I have a little cold."
The first time the elder asked about an embarrassing matter, Liang Ziluo, who knew the inside story, rushed forward to save the scene, pulled Zhou Tingshen's arm and dragged it a meter or two away, and said in a low voice, "It's okay usually, but now I'm still stubborn with my father. Do you want Ye Qiao to see the faces of the two of you?"
"..."
Liang Zirao chased after the victory: "Dad is not such an old and stubborn person. If you behave well tonight, the matter between you and Ye Qiao will be considered. And put on a bad face."
Ye Qiao looked at the siblings and whispered, but Zhou's father was like an elder who had known each other for many years, gossip with her: "I heard that your father is not in good health recently. You should go back and see more often."
Ye Qiao looked back at him in shock.
She thought that everything in her family would become a taboo in the old man's heart.
Zhou Tingshen came back reluctantly under Liang Zirao's push.Only then did Father Zhou sit down slowly on crutches, and asked solemnly, "How is that girl from the Ruan family?"
Zhou Ting lowered his eyes deeply, and said in a deep voice, "The doctor said, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my eyes."
In the silence, Ye Qiao's cell phone rang suddenly.Director Yang just called at this time.
Ye Qiao greeted the Zhou family members and walked a few steps to the window.She could probably guess the purpose of curator Yang's call, and sure enough, after a few pleasantries, the other party brought up the matter of inviting her to be the opening guest of Xu Zang's works exhibition.
She was hesitating, but there was a familiar and elegant voice on the other end of the phone.
"Jojo."
Ye Qiao replied in a daze, "Dad..." She had already forgotten when was the last time she and her father lived together peacefully.
After ten years, Xu Zang's tone was normal: "Are you asleep?"
"No..." Ye Qiao took a deep breath and forgot all the words, "Dad..."
"Father wants to invite you to be the opening guest of my work exhibition. Will Qiao Qiao agree to it?" Xu Zang still used the tone he used to coax the little girl, as if he didn't know that his little girl had already become famous all over the world.
The deep and gentle voice made Ye Qiao's nose sour, and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
As if returning to the star-studded awards ceremony in the evening, she smiled calmly and said, "There is one person I want to thank the most."
Under the spotlight, I can't see the guests who are full of guests clearly, and my eyes have no focus, as if they can penetrate the screen——
"He's my father."
"Thank you for the life he gave me."
And the person who gave her two lives must have seen this scene through the TV signal.
"Cry?"
Only then did Ye Qiao realize it, and touched his eyes: "No..." Then, as if impatient, he said, "I will go. I will definitely go."
(End of this chapter)
She is like a moon that goes with you like a shadow, but is forever lonely.That kind of loneliness is like a bewitching cold lamp during the journey, falling into the swamp of sin and self-struggle, it has a similar radiance to him.
He wants to be with her.
The snow on the road has been cleared, but there are still few vehicles.
Ye Qiao was wrapped in a white down jacket, her expression was so pale that she almost melted into the snow: "What's her name?"
Zhou Ting stared deeply at the road conditions, and replied with frowned eyebrows: "Ruan Feiyan."
"Ruan next to the ear knife?"
"Yes……"
The atmosphere was suddenly silent, and both of them vaguely guessed why the other party didn't speak.
Ye Qiao looked out the car window, his pupils were not focused, and said, "The prisoner who donated his heart to me is also named Ruan."
"I heard that her husband passed away early, and the daughter took her mother's surname without even seeing her father. Her husband committed illegal acts, and the family could not live in peace after his death. People who lost money and demanded their lives repeatedly came to the door. She was very sad. Great, she is a housekeeping aunt, and she can support both mother and daughter by herself."
The turbulent past, narrated in her mouth, is surprisingly flat.The warm air in the car made people drowsy, Ye Qiao's head was warm, and he couldn't even hear what he said in the drowsy state: "My father is very sorry for her."
"What are you sorry for?" Zhou Tingshen didn't dare to turn his head.
"She could have continued to live a good life as an ordinary person, but she was forced to be imprisoned due to an accident, and soon died of illness in prison. And all this is because of my father's selfishness towards me." Ye Qiao I didn't know who I was talking to, but I laughed absurdly, "Later, I heard that she did this willingly, in order to repay the master's family who took good care of her. The son of that family was once a student of my father."
Ye Qiao turned her head, Zhou Tingshen's side face reflected the snow light, and the outline had a distorted luster.Like flipping through a book of life and death, she suddenly changed the topic: "You said you had studied Chinese painting, remember? When my father holds a pen, the first joint of his index finger will straighten up. You are the same way."
With this posture, he left an indelible imprint on her heart.
The more people are afraid of something, the more they will attribute the clues to what in their hearts.I am afraid of being abandoned by my lover, so I feel mean and unkind; I am afraid of being scolded by my boss, so I am still anxious about doing things with all my heart; I am afraid of ghosts, so when I walk at night, I am afraid of corners and bushes, and I am worried that there will be foreign objects rushing towards my face. .
This is the ghost in her heart.She told him all about it.
Zhou Tingshen stopped at the red light and smoked a cigarette.He seldom touches cigarettes these days, but now he lights up in front of her and lowers the car window.The north wind is bitter, carrying the wind and snow, and blowing on people's faces, it hurts like a knife.One side of Zhou Ting's face was numb from the cold, and his lips trembled when he smoked.Facing the cold wind, Ye Qiao's premonition became stronger and stronger.
Her forehead was swollen and painful, as if even the seasons were blocking her, but she said stubbornly: "My father only accepted one student. His surname is Zhou."
"Stop talking." Zhou Tingshen closed the car window, and the airtight space suddenly filled with smoke and lacked oxygen.
Cold and smoky, bound to endure the same.
He stifled his cigarette out angrily, not understanding why this was happening.
Fortunately, there are still three kilometers left, so we must stand together through thick and thin.There are urgent matters now, but it has become a relief.Ye Qiao really stopped talking, and laughed at himself: "You already knew. You just didn't tell me." In an unquestionable statement tone.
Zhou Tingshen said nothing, praying that the journey would last forever.
But the cherished time passed the fastest, and arrived at the city hospital after a few turns.
Ruan Feiyan was lying on the white hospital bed, and two nurses beside her came in with a smile, one said: "I just saw Ye Qiao in the outpatient building, she is more beautiful in real life than on TV." The other said: "Your first time See you? She also came to our hospital for treatment of her burns in the filming last time, and it's a big scene, and people send flowers every day." When the two saw the newly awakened patient staring at them with wide eyes, they quietly stopped talking.
One of the nurses gave her a basic examination and told her not to touch the wound with water. Ruan Feiyan cooperated very well and only asked, "Did my family members notify me? Why haven't they come yet?"
The nurse was well-informed, and the little girl who was fussy and fussy had shallow wounds, was active in treatment, and had a stronger sense of survival than medical staff like them. She didn't need to do psychological counseling at all, so she responded, "Notice, it should be here now." .”
Ruan Feiyan held the gauze on her wrist and smiled. The nurse couldn't stand it, and advised: "You little girls, don't get overwhelmed by trivial matters. If you have conflicts, you must resolve them properly. It is useless to hurt your body." Ruan Feiyan Fei Yan glanced at her coldly, lying on the hospital bed and lingering.
Her condition did not require hospitalization, but the patient was bedridden, and the nurse had no reason to drive her away, holding the medical record book, shaking her head and leaving.
It was not Zhou Tingshen who came in to visit.
Ye Qiao walked past two nurses alone and leaned quietly at the door.
Her steps were too light, Ruan Feiyan saw her after a while, her smile suddenly collapsed: "What are you doing here?"
Ye Qiao was surprised by her prickly attitude and asked, "Do you know me?"
Ruan Feiyan's eyes flickered, and she made an excuse: "I don't know anyone who is a big star."
This may be able to deceive others, but Ye Qiao has always had the ability to see people's eyes clearly. She closed the door behind her, sat down on the chair beside the hospital bed, and said, "You look a lot like your mother."
Ruan Feiyan's expression flashed panic for a moment, but she didn't know how to deny it: "How do you know..."
"My heart can recognize you." Ye Qiao lightly tapped her left chest, and said, "What about you, do you really know me because I'm an actor?"
Ruan Feiyan turned her face away, and sneered, "You don't have to put on an act. Didn't you come here just for Brother Tingshen?" Her expression was proud and provocative, "Do you think I pester him? Oh, you think I don't take the initiative If I look for him, will he care about my life or death?"
Ye Qiao smiled: "I didn't come here for him. I want to talk to you about the matter between you and me."
Ruan Feiyan's expression froze, and she slowly glanced at her.
"At the door of my apartment, I can often find handmade dolls, blood red ones, do you remember?" Ye Qiao imitated the opening and closing of the doll's mouth with the palm of his hand, while capturing the strange color on Ruan Feiyan's face.
After all, he is a child, and his methods and defenses are vulnerable.
She softened her tone: "I know that Zhou Tingshen won't leave you alone. We all owe you, I know. But what have you done to rely on his guilt? Your revenge on me is just talking with each other in the rented house every day Hang out with people, and then sew a few puppet dolls to intimidate me, or send someone to secretly take pictures of me and him to try to slander my reputation?"
"You..." Ruan Feiyan's blood-losing cheeks turned pale again.
"No matter how much you hate me and my father, at least you have to live like a human being, so that we have to face up to your existence. Instead of crying, making trouble and hanging yourself like this." Ye Qiao shook her head lightly, "I don't accept such revenge."
In the corridor, Zhou Ting was leaning deeply by the window, with a row of blue seats beside him, reflecting his blurred silhouette.
He had known such a day would come.
From the first time he touched her bones, kissed the beating of his heart under her skin.He thought that there should be an end to competing with himself for so many years.Where it starts, it ends.
She is like a moon that goes with you like a shadow, but is forever lonely.That kind of loneliness is like a bewitching cold lamp during the journey, falling into the swamp of sin and self-struggle, it has a similar radiance to him.
He wants to be with her.
The golden lighter was in front of the window, a spark sprang up, and then went out in the cold wind.So many times, there was no fire again.
Oil and gas leaked silently and were blown away by the cold wind.
I don't know how many times I tried, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed.Ye Qiao came out and faced him.
Zhou Ting looked like someone who hadn't spoken for a long time, his vocal cords vibrated a little dryly: "How is it?"
"The wound is very shallow and there is no serious problem. She is in a good mood and actively cooperates with the treatment." Ye Qiao walked towards him with her hands in her pockets. After saying this, she asked, "Do you want to go in and see for yourself?"
After thinking about it for two seconds, Zhou Tingshen said, "Forget it." He threw the lighter into the trash can with a "boom", "She succeeded once, and she might make trouble every day in the future."
He has a thorough understanding of Ruan Feiyan's character.It's just that I was guilty in the past, and I didn't want to be harshly disciplined like ordinary parents. I thought I could influence people with sincerity, but instead spoiled people like they are now.
Sometimes he wondered if his guilt hurt her instead.However, he was too young at that time, unable to resist the wishes of his parents, and could only use his limited strength to compensate the other party, but he was so out of order.
Zhou Ting was deeply ashamed, and followed Ye Qiao slowly.
Walking to the garden of the inpatient department, the ground was slippery and icy. The two of them walked against the frost and snow, and they had the illusion that they had reached a white head.
Zhou Tingshen spoke first: "What did you tell her just now?"
"Talked about nonsense. Tell her you're not everyone's 'Prozac' and I can refer her to a therapist if she needs it."
Ye Qiao wrote it down, but his breath gradually deepened: "My father is a very proud and noble person. When he was unknown, he couldn't even present a painting to a high-ranking official who admired him. My favorite composition topic since I was a child was 'I My father', even every time I write 'my mother', I have to praise my father endlessly. I can't accept that he has become the kind of person in Ruan Feiyan's eyes for me."
Even though the father's love for her is to put on her the crown of sin that removes the uncleanness, she still understands the weight of this love.
She once wanted to be the pride of that man, tried her best to be the glory in his heart, but in the end she became the only stain in his clean life.
"I'm sorry." In the end, Zhou Tingshen thought he was going to end in silence, but suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but wrap Ye Qiao into his arms.
The deep breath condensed into fog in the cold air of deep winter, a long shapeless mass.Ye Qiao bumped into his chest, causing pain in his heart, and felt that all the sighs seemed to be solidified in the ice and snow.
She stretched out her red hand and patted him twice on the back: "It's okay. I don't blame you It's just that seeing her reminds me of what it's like to have a bad conscience. For many people, I feel bad conscience. "
Zhou Ting held her tighter and tighter, but her throat rolled and choked.
Like comforting a wounded beast, Ye Qiao stroked his soft coat gently: "You approach me step by step, is it because of me, or because of guilt for this heart?"
"You," he said.
"I thought about giving up, that time on the boat." Zhou Ting leaned deeply on her neck, "Liang Ziluo persuaded her many times, saying that it would be best if we didn't meet. But I couldn't do it."
The path was blocked by solid ice, and Ye Qiao had nowhere to go. She took a deep breath, and the smell of crushed ice filled her nose: "I don't know what mood I am in now." It was actually very calm, but she knew it would not be so peaceful , some restless things are too deep, and she can't even notice the ice that has formed in her heart.
She said: "Sometimes fate likes to play jokes on people. I just didn't expect this joke to play on me."
A heavy snow fell suddenly at night, and the airports in several neighboring cities were suspended.
The world is plunged into a boundless dark night ravaged by wind and snow.
Ye Qiao's cold worsened and he developed a fever.Zhou Tingshen took her temperature, and it was 38 degrees five, but she stubbornly refused to go to the hospital.
A large bed cuts a watershed, and the two sleep on both ends with rolled quilts.In the middle of the night, Ye Qiao was so feverish that he burrowed into Zhou Ting's arms in a daze, murmuring something.
Zhou Ting got up and turned on the light, the weak light couldn't illuminate the huge room, there was only a small light for people to cuddle with each other.
Ye Qiao regained consciousness, but felt a splitting headache. She opened her mouth and didn't know what she was talking about: "I didn't apologize to her."
In the dream, she was still entangled with the past repeatedly, and she really wasn't as calm and indifferent as she appeared.
Zhou Tingshen gave a soft "um" and hugged her skeleton that seemed to be falling apart.
Her voice was deep and quiet: "She likes you. Can't you see it?"
Zhou Ting's deep eyes drooped slightly, and he said after a long time, "I can tell."
So in the past two years, he seldom went to visit, thinking that distance can kill the girl's immature affection.
With sore eyes, Ye Qiao forced herself to hold back tears: "I feel guilty. But she likes you, so I didn't apologize."
She said in a hoarse voice, "Apologizing is a waste of sincerity. If there is no sincerity that is willing to give everything to make up, such an apology is just a fake."
Hot tears accumulated in his body, turning into a drowning flood.
Ye Qiao bit her lower lip tightly, and said in a low voice, "Zhou Tingshen. I really want to apologize to her."
Zhou Ting hugged her even tighter, Ye Qiao's body temperature was so hot that he felt like a cold-blooded animal.If we hadn't been so arrogant in the past, we wouldn't be where we are today.Everything is the sin of the past, no matter who comes to list the crimes for him, he can admit it.She was the only one who pointed all the criminal evidence at herself and placed him under an invisible umbrella.
In the past two days, she seemed to have shed all the tears she had shed in the past ten years.Ye Qiao thought she was talking in her sleep, and soon fell into a deeper and darker dream. The kid from hell got into her head, saying that she deserved to die ten years ago, why did she have to live until today.Ruan Feiyan's questioning was hidden in sharp horror, asking her: "You have already robbed my mother, why are you robbing him from me?"
Wearing the body of guilt, it seems that as long as you live, you will make a big mistake.
With a high fever until the next morning, Ye Qiao was a little delirious.
Qianxi was called to be a professional nurse, and she brought a doctor with her, and gave Ye Qiao an intravenous needle before giving up.
When the cousin's escort was by Ye Qiao's side, she was so anxious that she was still unconscious: "The fever is so serious, if you don't wake up, you will definitely have to be sent to the hospital."
"She doesn't want to go." Zhou Tingshen has tried many times, and Ye Qiao can always burst out the power that does not belong to the patient at the moment of being moved, and resist the treatment without hesitation.
"Cousin's body has been debilitating, what should I do if it burns out..." Qianxi used a clay formula to apply a towel to her, and was in a hurry, "Cousin's father just fell ill. I heard that he wanted to see her before, and he was just about to board the plane. Had a heart attack, got stopped by airport staff and taken to the hospital, and hasn't been much better since. The gene is so bad!"
Zhou Tingshen gestured for silence, signaling her not to speak at Ye Qiao's bedside.
Qian Xi scratched her hair and said, "I might as well ask for leave to live here. If something happens to my cousin, my dad will definitely ask me to come and see her!"
Zhou Tingshen gave her the master bedroom and slept in the guest room by himself.
When I got up at night, I went to the porch by accident, and the color of "Secrets of the World" could not be distinguished under the dim light.Zhou Tingshen lit the candlestick enshrining the statue of Jesus for the first time. In the warm orange light, the frame merged with the candle flame in his eyes, as if being lit.
Qian Xi yawned and walked out of the bedroom, and saw Zhou Ting standing quietly in the entrance, like a night walker embracing the fireplace in a British drama.She walked over drowsily and comforted: "My cousin's fever has subsided, and she just fell asleep. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I will see my lively and lovely cousin! Don't worry."
Zhou Ting said with a deep smile, thank you.I knew in my heart that it might be even harder to see her cheerful face when I woke up.
Qian Xi smacked her lips, and suddenly became serious: "Actually, having conflicts is a good thing. When conflicts erupt, it means that there is a possibility of resolution. Unlike some people, who have done nothing wrong, but because of practical factors, there is no possibility of being together."
The first time Zhou Tingshen found out that Ye Qiao, a carefree cousin, also had a heart, he smiled and asked her, "Are you tired? I'll make some supper for your cousin later, and you can eat some too."
Qianxi rubbed her belly in surprise, and asked "Is that okay?", not understanding how this prospective cousin-in-law, who is good looking and cooks more delicious food than his good looks, has offended her cousin.
This time, however, the source of the problem was different.Zhou Tingshen even doubted the possibility of a solution.
Ye Qiao rested for two days after waking up, raised his eyebrows as if he was a guest, and neither of them said anything about the problem.Finally, on the third day, she proposed at the dinner table: "Shall I go back to live?"
Zhou Ting was silent, said "OK", and called her to repair the heating facility.
They still confirm each other's intentions, but they don't know how to face each other. It seems to be a sin to laugh as usual.In order not to be locked up at home, Ye Qiao made an appointment with a personal fitness trainer recommended by her friends for a long time, and sweated profusely in the gym every day.The overdraft of physical energy and the aches and pains of the muscles and bones made the body extremely real, and the soreness of the mind became second.
The personal trainer's surname is Fang. Given her history of heart disease, she tailors an exercise program for her, but every time Ye Qiao exceeds the quota, and she doesn't want to get off the machine once she gets on the machine.Coach Fang worried: "I've never seen a female star like you. Before Pei Xindan took the costume martial arts scene, she also asked me to practice for a while, and I'm not as ruthless as you."
Ye Qiao smiled vaguely: "Are you worried that I will die here?"
Unexpectedly, Coach Fang shook his head and said, "That's not true. I know a Russian buddy who has had a heart transplant just like you. He is more ruthless than you. He broke a leg and is now doing extreme sports. So , what hurdles are there to overcome? As long as you dare, you can also play skydiving with a different heart."
dare?Ye Qiao asked herself.He couldn't hear what he said later, and when he finished speaking, Ye Qiao regained consciousness in a trance and said, "I have an awards ceremony to attend tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I won't be coming."
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
Ye Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Maybe the day after tomorrow."
Coach Fang smiled heartily: "I know you are like this, it must be a whim. It's pointless not to persist after venting." He squeezed Ye Qiao's wrist and tested it, "Look, so thin, not even a dog's paw There is meat. Seriously, exercise more, it’s good for your body and your mood.”
Ye Qiao was slapped by Amway inexplicably, but all the attention was on his wrist.The touch of the strange man after sweating, the palm was rough but without calluses, the discomfort made her withdraw her arm calmly: "I will pay more attention in the future. Thank you."
On the way home, the snow accumulated in the past few days has melted, and there are occasional dirty residual snow on the bare tree stumps beside the road.
The vegetation was mottled and hard to distinguish, Ye Qiao looked up and breathed in the clear winter air.The scarf around her neck was about to slump down her shoulders, she didn't bother to stretch her hands out of her pockets, and kept her neck stiff in the same position for a few seconds.
The scarf slipped off anyway.Her neck was pulled by the gravity of the falling object, and she resigned herself to pulling out her hand——
But a hand stretched out from behind, helped her pick up the scarf, and wrapped it around her neck tightly regardless of the shape.The cuffs of the black coat exuded the scent of Virginia cedar, which was the perfume she picked out for him.
Ye Qiao turned around and saw Zhou Tingshen.He had just finished shopping, the knuckles of the shopping bag were exposed to the air, and he was light red. He tied a knot for her with one hand, and smiled at her with a familiar yet unfamiliar smile.
He has been there for several days, seeing her go out early and return late, returning home exhausted and exhausted.After many inquires, I found out that she has been exercising recently. Although she is tired, her complexion is much better than before.Zhou Ting stared deeply into her startled eyes, as if they hadn't seen each other for many years, which made him annoyed and amused: "Is there any need to be so surprised to see me? Where have you been these two days?"
The tone was relaxed, but Ye Qiao always felt that it was just whitewashing.Including his warm smile, the movement of pinching her hair behind her ears, and every move, it was like whitewashing the peace.
She felt like she was in a daze. Ever since she met Ruan Feiyan, she could no longer get along with him naturally. Three words came out of her throat: "Gym."
Zhou Tingshen entered the unit building side by side with her and helped her press the elevator.The two stepped in together, and he asked, "How is it after practice?"
"is acceptable."
"Coach man and woman, have you eaten your tofu?" He was full of grievances that he hadn't seen each other for days, turning into jealousy, staring at her with black eyes, as if he wanted to tear her apart.
Ye Qiao said with a straight face, "Female."
Zhou Tingshen hugged her sore waist with both hands, and pinched her as if punishing: "Really?"
How could it be true.Ye Qiao panicked and bent over to hide, unable to continue telling this lie: "You don't want to believe a white lie."
When the elevator arrived, Zhou Tingshen refused to let her go back to 2301 no matter what, he grabbed her hand and pulled her in the opposite direction.She whispered: "What are you doing—"
Zhou Ting pressed her firmly on the corridor, and sighed deeply against her forehead: "Qiao Qiao, you don't know how much I miss you."
Ye Qiao moved her lower lip twice, unable to speak.
Zhou Ting took a deep breath: "I know you need time to digest, and you have to think about it. But can you stop avoiding me?" Ye Qiao's expression turned frosty, and he lowered his voice after hearing his last sentence, "It's like a husband and wife separated."
She suddenly turned her face to the side and smiled.
But Zhou Tingshen became serious: "I will take responsibility for what I did wrong. I may not be able to make up for it in this life, but I will not spend the remaining decades on redemption. You think I am selfish, It's okay to dislike me for having that kind of past, you can explain it clearly, okay?"
After a long time, Zhou Ting felt that time was about to freeze.
He didn't feel flustered and inferior, but if even he couldn't be firm, there was no need to provoke him in the first place.
Ye Qiao gradually pressed her lower lip, and said in a low voice, "I don't despise you..."
Zhou Ting shuddered deeply.Ye Qiao's icy hands pressed against his palm, and the fingers interlocked tightly, making him tired of questioning the authenticity of these words, and he just wanted to warm his hands and heart.
As far as Ye Qiao was concerned, the position of the thin calluses on his palm was so familiar and appropriate, which gave her a sense of ignorance and fearlessness.
"I don't mind. Really," she said.
Zhou Ting stood stiffly, turned his face away, his brows were indifferent.Ye Qiao plucked up her courage and tried to make jokes: "It's no use if I don't hide from you, you won't even look at me."
As expected, he turned his head, and in the blink of an eye, she held his face.Ye Qiao stood on tiptoe and quickly kissed him on the lips: "Okay. I miss you too... I miss you every day."
Immediately afterwards, she said helplessly, "I really have to go back and pack my luggage." She raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, "There are still two hours left. I'm flying to Yangcheng tonight, and there will be an awards ceremony tomorrow."
Zhou Ting frowned deeply: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I didn't have a chance to talk about it two days ago."
The lines between his brows are deeper.Fortunately, her next words were reassuring: "Didn't I plan to go to your house for dinner at the beginning of the Chinese New Year? The year-end ceremony happened to be held in Yangcheng, and it was only a few days before the Chinese New Year, so I didn't push it away."
Zhou Tingshen finally stretched his eyebrows: "Then I will go with you."
Ye Qiao nodded, just in time to receive a phone call from Shen Ting, she stepped back and said, "Shen Ting called. I'll go back to take care of things first, and call me when you arrive."
That night's flight was already sold out, so Ye Qiao took his assistant one step ahead. When they arrived at the airport, Zhou Tingshen's message was sent to her mobile phone, telling her that he would take the noon flight the next day.
Ye Qiao also saw Shen Ting, and only then did he know that there were ups and downs on the Internet. The iCloud incident escalated, and the little-known Zhao Mo suddenly became the target of public criticism, because an anonymous actress in the same group revealed that she had had affairs with Gu Jin and many other directors.No wonder, Ye Qiao received many calls from Zhao Mo on his mobile phone, but he ignored them when he was ill, and when he woke up, it was already past time, and he was entangled with other things, so he didn't pay attention to them.
On the other hand, Xu Yinshan's black material has also been shaken off, mistresses and mistresses are everywhere, and the innocent and friendly public image in the past is gone, and some people in the circle even viciously predict that she will only be able to take part in third-grade movies in the future .
A lot of information poured into her ears through Shen Ting, the gossip hub. In the end, Ye Qiao caught the most important news.
Cheng Jiang had a miscarriage.
Cheng Jiang has taken away several children, and may face infertility if she has another miscarriage.In order for the fetus in her womb to survive, she endured debridement and rehabilitation for extensive burns without anesthesia injections.
Ye Qiao once visited Lu Qing, who was injured in a similar situation to Cheng Jiang's. The tragedy was unbearable to look at. Cheng Jiang endured it tenaciously, but still failed to save the child.For this reason, Gu Jin wandered around, and it became a well-known secret in the circle.Shen Ting also learned the news through the crew members who often worked with him.
I heard that after the release of the original "Watchmen", Cheng Jiang has a good chance to compete for the best actress in the film and television festival at the end of the year.Gu Jin also planned to propose to her at the awards ceremony.
However, as time passed, this award unexpectedly fell on Ye Qiao by mistake.
On the day of the award ceremony, the designer tailored a red dress for her, with half a rose made of lotus leaves on the side.The high-saturation red makes Ye Qiaofu whiter than snow, and the hairpin is on the plum branch.
Gu Jin was absent from the awards ceremony for the best director of the year, and the LCD screen in the VIP single room broadcast live the catwalk before the awards ceremony.He leaned against the room and was pale, staring at the missing rose, walked slowly over the red carpet tens of meters, and waved to the camera.Ye Qiao's dark eyes reflected scattered spots of light, refracting light like diamond products.
Qiangwei smiled lightly and bloomed against the cold wind.He wished viciously that she was not doing well.
But the host's high-pitched tone and Ye Qiao's cheers told him that she was fine.
She will be the queen of the night.
Cheng Jiang had undergone debridement surgery, and the wound was still in the healing period. The once dignified and luxurious face was scarred by the fire and needed skin grafting.She was no longer as radiant as before, and the pain of losing her child became the last straw that crushed her, causing her to lose even her indifferent capital, and she looked extremely depressed: "You want to go back and find her, don't you?"
Gu Jin came back to his senses suddenly, his eyes moved away from the screen, the bright light and shadow still stayed on the retina, and he didn't know how to place his eyes: "What are you talking about?"
"You don't have to pretend to be indifferent, maybe it's okay to deceive the little girl." Cheng Jiang smiled miserably, "Isn't it because she was with me at that time that she couldn't stand shoulder to shoulder with you? The most important thing in your heart Career has always been what you want, and you can even use marriage as a bargaining chip for success. I just happen to meet your requirements."
"When you found out that I had a child, did you include him? First, the announcement of the premiere, followed by the proposal, engagement, wedding, and the soon-to-be-born child." Over ten million publicity investment.Cheng Jiang lay in a vast expanse of whiteness, feeling that the color of the world seemed to fade away with it. In the past, he thought he was calm and mature, and each took what he needed, but in the end it turned into a calculation that failed.
"Gu Jin, you think that life is also a play directed by you. In the end, the calculations are empty, how do you feel?"
The former movie queen was like a piece of jade that had lost its luster, leaving only the stubbornness of a rock, and said to him: "Go back and find her. I don't need you to pity me."
On the TV screen, Ye Qiao took the trophy from the award presenter, leaned over to face the microphone, and his clear voice embellished the stereotyped acceptance speech beautifully.
"Standing here today, there are too many people to thank. Director Lai, the award presenter, is my mentor. Taking this trophy from him means a lot to me."
……
"But what I want to thank most is a person."
The once lovely smile is still in front of her eyes. She once said that if she stands on the podium one day, she hopes that he will be the one who presents her the award. When she expresses her thanks, she will announce to the world that he is unique. that person.
Gu Jin quickly extinguished the live broadcast.
He put down the remote control panel, and the small fireworks outside the window echoed the star-studded grand ceremony, flashing dazzling brilliance in the cold night sky, but there was only boundless loneliness in his eyes, and he didn't know who he was saying: "I can't go back."
That person is no longer him.
Yangcheng, in a similar ward.
The same scene was broadcast on the TV in the single ward.Ye Qiao lowered her head, and the once immature girl put on the silver and white crown, and her gestures and gestures already had the charm of a woman.
She smiled lightly: "What I want to thank most is a person."
The audience was silent, Ye Qiao raised his head, he couldn't see all the guests clearly under the spotlight, his eyes were out of focus, as if he could see through the screen——
"He's my father."
"Thank you for the life he gave me."
Cheng Su turned around silently, looking at the pale and tired middle-aged man on the hospital bed.There was a cloudy light in his eyes, but his refined face was aged beyond his age, and the light from the digital screen was changing in his bottomless eyes.
Until the screen switched back to the host, Xu Zang still stared at the screen.That was his most beloved daughter, Qiao Qiao, his dearest relative in this world.
He once watched her birth with the most ecstatic eyes, and accompanied her to grow up with the most cautious attitude.
In the end, she traded her life of innocence and pride for her second life.
At this moment, Ye Qiao returned to the backstage and took off the heavy tassel earrings.
In the mirror, her appearance is six points similar to Xu Zang.Since she was a child, no one asked her whether she looked like her father or mother, because it was obvious at a glance that she and Xu Zang were carved out of the same mold.
As expected, the acceptance speech just now did not arouse any reaction.She seemed to just follow the script and say the most bureaucratic thank you.
Fireworks lift off and hearts beat.The sound of blood pounding on the eardrum is really beautiful, like the moment when fireworks burst.
Anyway, thank you for giving me two lives.
The flight was delayed, and when Zhou Tingshen arrived at the hotel, it was already late at night.
He knocked on Ye Qiao's door through the dim lights and fireworks all over the city.Ye Qiao had just gotten out of the bath, and opened the door in a bathrobe. The dusty man flicked his handbag into the room, and when he entered the room, there was a bitter kiss.
Ye Qiao closed the door with difficulty, and said in a messy breath, "I have relatives..."
Zhou Ting cursed deeply, she thought he came here in such a hurry just for that matter.But as soon as he let go, Ye Qiao's face was pale and bleeding, and his eyes were misty, which made him unable to get angry.
"uncomfortable?"
Ye Qiao flattened her mouth: "It hurts...it never hurt before, but today I walked such a long red carpet in the cold wind in a dress, showing my arms, legs, back and chest. No matter how many body warming stickers I put on, It's still cold." His arms wrapped around his neck like bones, and his frail face was filled with the expression of a little girl.Zhou Ting really hoped that she could always look at him with such dependent eyes, and hoped so hard that his heart was boiling hot.
Without thinking about it, he murmured softly, "It's been so long that there's been no movement."
No matter how softly she still heard it.Ye Qiao snorted, "You can't..."
The appearance of showing off his power is only relying on his relatives, Zhou Tingshen can't do it personally.
"I have to fly half of China to see you, who is to blame?" Zhou Tingshen was fierce and depressed, with a bad tone, "Why are you still standing?"
"Ok?"
Zhou Ting picked her up impatiently, lifted the quilt and put her on the bed, touched her calf under the bathrobe: "It's so cold, whoever hurts you if you don't."
He warmed her cold skin with the palm of his hand. The warmth came and went, making Ye Qiao feel uncontrollable, and said sourly, "Isn't it just to open the door for you? I just washed it." After taking a shower, who has time to get dressed."
He helped her cover the quilt and asked, "where are the clothes?"
Ye Qiao kicked her toes and pointed to the desk.
Zhou Tingshen went over and took out a set of cashmere pajamas for her to change into. Ye Qiao was still chilled, and kept frowning as he held his arm.Zhou Tingshen was about to go out and buy her painkillers, but Ye Qiao held her back and couldn't move: "That stuff only treats the symptoms but not the root cause. If you eat it now, it will accumulate in the future, and it will hurt even more." Zhou Tingshen was speechless: "Where did you hear that?" Qiao Zhenzhen has a saying: ""Huang Di Nei Jing".
After I finished speaking, I felt that I was making up strong words mechanically and unreasonably.
Zhou Tingshen was convinced, and found out his only knowledge of female physiology: "Then what should I do? Make you brown sugar water?"
Ye Qiao hugged him like a bear, wrinkled his nose, and said, "It's hard to drink."
"Good medicine tastes bitter."
"Anyway, it's hard to drink."
During the special period, Ye Qiao was more stubborn than usual. When Zhou Tingshen was completely at his wit's end, she said angrily, "Can't you just stay with me for a while?"
Zhou Tingshen's movements faltered, he smiled and raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it just to accompany you?"
He finally lay down firmly, without tossing or thinking about anything, quietly hugging her for a while, covering her belly with his palms and rubbing gently.Ye Qiao was especially afraid of the cold at the moment, so she untied his coat and lay down. Zhou Ting wrapped her tightly, her thin body hugging like two kangaroos as if nothing was there.
Zhou Ting planted a deep kiss on her frowning brows, and regretted, "I shouldn't have taken this job back then. Since I had half a month's vacation, why would I attend an award ceremony?"
Ye Qiao smiled, knowing that what he said was full of anger.
After a few minutes, he changed his position and asked, "Does it still hurt?"
Ye Qiao buried her face: "It hurts."
Zhou Ting deeply felt the touch of his subordinates. She was awkward for a while, and there was a little more flesh on her stomach. It was quite unpleasant, and asked, "Have you gained weight in the past two days?"
"Exercising every day, I'm too tired to eat too much, I'm probably fat." Ye Qiao was also surprised, other people's exercise is to lose weight, but here she is to gain weight.
"Don't you suffer from insomnia?"
"Ah."
"It means that she was thin in the past because she was physically weak." Zhou Tingshen was still thinking about how she was able to be broad-minded and fat during the Cold War for a second, but after summarizing this second, all she could think about was to cultivate her habit of exercising in the future.He and Ye Qiao talked together, and suddenly thought of something wrong, "However, I need to change a coach for you first."
"I'm still thinking about this grudge." Ye Qiao laughed, "I didn't do anything to me, so don't be so mediocre."
"More than 1000 million fans are thinking about you, can you not be tighter?" Zhou Ting teased her deeply, Ye Qiao smiled and felt more pain, and gasped.
Zhou Tingshen was about to say a few words of comfort when the phone rang.
Liang Zirao had to answer the phone call.He said "Hello" impatiently, Liang Zirao thought he had ruined something good at first, and teased: "Why, you entered Ruanrou Township, plan to deny your relatives?"
Zhou Ting was not in the mood to tease her: "Talk about something."
"What day do you plan to go home? The last time I called, I only said that I would bring my girlfriend back, but I didn't say who it was. Dad was so happy that he kept talking about this matter, pulling me to ask things, saying that you have been here for so many years. It's not easy to settle down, as long as she's a girl from a decent family, with good conduct and good conditions, our family can be considered a daughter-in-law."
Having said that, Zhou Tingshen remained silent, quietly waiting for Liang Zirao to say the expected turning point——
"I didn't dare to confess to Dad. Dad always thought that being in the entertainment industry is not a business. It's okay to be an ordinary female star, but she is still Ye Qiao. You have to solve this matter yourself."
After saying that, Liang Zirao listened carefully, unexpectedly he laughed and said without any concern, "I know."
She was furious: "So, when will you come back?"
Zhou Ting covered his phone deeply, and asked Ye Qiao angrily, "Can I walk tomorrow?"
Ye Qiao replied in a low voice: "This thing will hurt for a day or two at most. It will definitely be better by tomorrow night."
Liang Zirao vaguely heard the whisper on the other end of the phone, Virgo's obsessive-compulsive disorder, and she couldn't hear clearly, but Zhou Tingshen's voice was suddenly clear, which made her deaf: "Then come back tomorrow night."
"Come back for dinner?"
"Well. Let the taste be lighter, she has a lot of taboos recently."
The younger brother, who usually doesn't care about anything, suddenly gave her an order, and Liang Ziluo felt that the sun was coming out to the west: "Tsk tsk... your sister, I'm going to be fed up with you to death. Come on, when will you come back without a table of vegetables? Let you The ones at home will follow you to eat grass."
At the other end of the night, Ruan Feiyan ran exhaustedly on the night-shrouded streets of Yangcheng. A black car, like a falcon, was playing with its prey. There was a malicious laugh.The little girl returned to Yangcheng at the end of the year, but she didn't expect that this group of gangsters would also catch up here, following her all the way since she got off the train.
She finally exhausted her strength and could only stumble forward.As if the Falcon had had enough fun, the speed of the car suddenly increased, and it flicked its tail to stop Ruan Feiyan.
At the same time, as if resigned to her fate, she pressed the dial button with trembling hands.
Before the call was dialed, a few men dressed in rough clothes got out of the car, and their mobile phones were slapped flying. Ruan Feiyan was pushed to the ground by the force, her eyes were wet and bloodshot, and her voice was crying: "Don't, Don't hit me. I'll just go with you."
"You're sensible." The leading young man hooked his mouth, and when he spoke, there was a lingering smell of smoke, and he sneered, "Isn't it good to be like this earlier? What kind of obedient student are you, playing with the master and running away."
Ruan Feiyan calmed down her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and begged in a low voice: "Please let me go... I won't come to you again after I said it, so just pretend that I don't exist, can't you?"
The man laughed absurdly: "Little girl, how old are you this year? We are not a charity organization. We released the photos for you. After using them, we want to run away? Which onion do you think you are? If it weren't for you You're pretty and a chick, how can I play with you, you really think of yourself as someone." Then he hugged her into the car by the waist.
Ruan Feiyan struggled violently, knelt by the car door to resist, and was slapped by someone, the back of her head hit the door frame with a "boom", her eyes brushed against the spikes on the old door frame, and blood flowed profusely.
She fainted from the excruciating pain, limp and slumped.
The beating person panicked: "This...how do I explain this?"
At the same moment, a car drove up from the other side of the strip with its headlights on them and its horn shrill.
"Hurry up, throw people away, go!"
The black car drove away, and only Ruan Feiyan's mobile phone screen was still on in the dark night, reading the call time every minute.
When Zhou Tingshen arrived, the group of people had already disappeared. The road was remote and quiet, and the end of the year was approaching. There were almost no people in the cold winter night.He saw the people on the ground from afar and slammed on the brakes.
Ye Qiao also saw a familiar figure with a blurred outline, and his clenched hands were tense under the pale light of the street lamp.
"there."
Zhou Ting got out of the car to take a look, and it was Ruan Feiyan. Her hair was messy, and the blood oozed from her eyes flowed from her cheeks to the collar of her white coat, she was unconscious.He frowned, carried him into the car, and quickly slammed the door.
When he arrived at the hospital, there was a large bloodstain on the back seat.
The lights in the operating room were turned on, and the turmoil of the whole night fell into a deathly silence.In the quiet corridor, only the red emergency light was blinking. Ye Qiao was still in physical pain, curled up on the hospital bench with a pale face.
Zhou Ting squatted halfway in front of her, put the clothes on her, and wrapped them tightly: "I'll ask Liang Zirao to pick you up back to the hotel. You have a good rest, I'm here, huh?"
"No..." She frowned in pain, "If you're leaving now, why did you come here just now?"
Speaking of this, he became angry: "I shouldn't have let you come just now."
Ye Qiao was about to fall asleep when she received Ruan Feiyan's call.There was a lot of noise on the phone, only the sound of struggling and insulting.The situation was urgent, and she insisted on going with her, and he didn't waste time mediating.
Ye Qiao smiled lightly: "How did you know she was there just now?"
Zhou Ting was silent for a moment: "She only knows one place in Yangcheng, my house, and there are no buses at this time, so she will definitely take this shortcut."
Ye Qiao slowly turned her face away: "Oh, the little tadpole is looking for his mother."
Zhou Tingshen pressed a kiss on her forehead helplessly: "I'm still jealous right now."
When Liang Zirao arrived at the hospital, the first thing he saw was this picture. Fearing that the world would not be chaotic, he turned his head and glanced at Zhou's father who came with him after hearing the news, and introduced, "That is Ye Qiao. I was going to meet you formally tomorrow. Yes, I didn't expect that girl from the Ruan family to make such a fuss."
Ye Qiao watched Liang Zirao and his party appear in the corridor, leaned into Zhou Tingshen's ear, and said softly, "Your sister and the others are here."
Zhou Ting frowned deeply, and turned his head with a gloomy face, his eyes were as dark as the deep well of Kuiye.
Seeing his expression, Zhou's father was so angry that his beard trembled slightly, and he took two steps forward on crutches: "Why, are you going to deny me as a father?"
Zhou Tingshen looked away lightly.
Liang Zirao, who had long been accustomed to the tense atmosphere between father and son, stood on the sidelines calmly, but it was Ye Qiao who gave her a look for help.Liang Zirao pursed her lips helplessly.
Ye Qiao could only break the silence alone, and said softly, "Hello, Uncle."
To her surprise, when Father Zhou looked down at her, his expression was much gentler. Seeing that her lips were pale, he asked with concern: "Why is the little girl so pale?"
Ye Qiao glanced at Zhou Tingshen shyly, and said guiltily, "It's okay...I have a little cold."
The first time the elder asked about an embarrassing matter, Liang Ziluo, who knew the inside story, rushed forward to save the scene, pulled Zhou Tingshen's arm and dragged it a meter or two away, and said in a low voice, "It's okay usually, but now I'm still stubborn with my father. Do you want Ye Qiao to see the faces of the two of you?"
"..."
Liang Zirao chased after the victory: "Dad is not such an old and stubborn person. If you behave well tonight, the matter between you and Ye Qiao will be considered. And put on a bad face."
Ye Qiao looked at the siblings and whispered, but Zhou's father was like an elder who had known each other for many years, gossip with her: "I heard that your father is not in good health recently. You should go back and see more often."
Ye Qiao looked back at him in shock.
She thought that everything in her family would become a taboo in the old man's heart.
Zhou Tingshen came back reluctantly under Liang Zirao's push.Only then did Father Zhou sit down slowly on crutches, and asked solemnly, "How is that girl from the Ruan family?"
Zhou Ting lowered his eyes deeply, and said in a deep voice, "The doctor said, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my eyes."
In the silence, Ye Qiao's cell phone rang suddenly.Director Yang just called at this time.
Ye Qiao greeted the Zhou family members and walked a few steps to the window.She could probably guess the purpose of curator Yang's call, and sure enough, after a few pleasantries, the other party brought up the matter of inviting her to be the opening guest of Xu Zang's works exhibition.
She was hesitating, but there was a familiar and elegant voice on the other end of the phone.
"Jojo."
Ye Qiao replied in a daze, "Dad..." She had already forgotten when was the last time she and her father lived together peacefully.
After ten years, Xu Zang's tone was normal: "Are you asleep?"
"No..." Ye Qiao took a deep breath and forgot all the words, "Dad..."
"Father wants to invite you to be the opening guest of my work exhibition. Will Qiao Qiao agree to it?" Xu Zang still used the tone he used to coax the little girl, as if he didn't know that his little girl had already become famous all over the world.
The deep and gentle voice made Ye Qiao's nose sour, and he was so choked up that he couldn't speak.
As if returning to the star-studded awards ceremony in the evening, she smiled calmly and said, "There is one person I want to thank the most."
Under the spotlight, I can't see the guests who are full of guests clearly, and my eyes have no focus, as if they can penetrate the screen——
"He's my father."
"Thank you for the life he gave me."
And the person who gave her two lives must have seen this scene through the TV signal.
"Cry?"
Only then did Ye Qiao realize it, and touched his eyes: "No..." Then, as if impatient, he said, "I will go. I will definitely go."
