When will the fog clear

Chapter 36
Lin Miao was watching the local news, and it just so happened that the financial section broadcast the latest news from Chen Jizhen Company. The clean energy project he invested in Europe started construction as scheduled. It is said that it has received strong support from the local government and banks. Once the crisis of insufficient funds is resolved, The stock price, which had been sluggish before, has been rising all the way.Immediately, someone estimated his latest net worth, and he rose a few places on the list.

Although Lin Miao never asked about Chen Jizhen's business, and because Xu Aiyi was involved, he was even more reluctant to mention it, but now that his company has turned the corner, he is still relieved.

She suddenly remembered again, didn't he want to marry Xu's to promote cooperation?Why is it so different from the rumors now?That Xu Aiyi... Before she could figure it out, the doorbell rang.

There have always been no guests here, and my aunt's hometown has something to do and has to leave for a few days, so Lin Miao thought that Chen Jizhen forgot to bring something and came back.

It's obviously a combination lock, but when he comes home recently, he always likes to ring the doorbell to let her open the door, and if he doesn't open it, he will show his face.And like this morning, he was going to the company for a meeting, and she hadn't woken up yet, so he had to wake her up and ask her to tie her tie.If it weren't for the fact that he was going out, she really didn't want to talk to him, and just like that, he still disliked his ugly appearance, and seriously asked her to go back and study hard.I really didn't know he was so good at grinding people.

Lin Miao made a serious face on purpose, opened the door and complained: "What's wrong with you..." The last word disappeared from his mouth, and he was stunned.The person standing outside the door was not Chen Jiti.It was someone Lin Miao never thought he would meet again - Chen Baoyue.

"Bao, Baoyue?" Lin Miao was stunned for a long time before she found her voice and murmured.

If you look closely, you can see that her eyes are not blurry, she is really Chen Baoyue.

In Lin Miao's eyes, Chen Baoyue's appearance didn't change much, but she was very thin, her eye sockets were sunken, her face was pale, as if she could not stand still when the wind blows.

"Miaomiao, you are indeed here." Chen Baoyue opened her chapped lips slightly, but her voice was very hoarse.

She had been induced to vomit by gastric lavage because she had taken too many sleeping pills, and she was in poor condition.And her words instantly made Lin Miao's complexion worse than hers. This is Chen Jizhen's apartment, and his family probably didn't know that he appeared here... Feeling inexplicably embarrassed.

The meeting time and place were wrong, Lin Miao didn't even dare to look at Bao Yue.

The friend who used to talk about everything has not seen each other for five years. On the day of reunion, he was not excited, but he couldn't even talk freely.

Lin Miao never thought about meeting so suddenly, because Jiaqi said before that Bao Yue didn't want to see her, and she didn't know if it was because of the accident or because of Gu Huai.

Lin Miao was very sad at first, but as time passed, she became bearish. Perhaps her fate with Bao Yue could only be fixed five years ago.In fact, she has a lot of things to ask her, and ask her if she is in good health?Ask her if she remembers what happened back then?Ask her and Gu Huai... So it's not that she has taken it lightly, it's just that she has kept it in her heart for too long, deceiving herself into thinking that she has forgotten it.

Then she belatedly saw the crutches beside Chen Baoyue, and Jiaqi's words flashed in her mind, saying that her legs needed to be rehabilitated and hadn't fully recovered yet.

"Come in and sit down first." Lin Miao tried to calm down, and subconsciously wanted to hold Chen Baoyue's hand, but quickly held back.

Chen Baoyue nodded, and casually said, "I've been here before, but it's been too long, and my memory is so bad that I even forgot the password."

Lin Miao's figure paused for a moment. The password was not wrong, it was Chen Jizhen who had changed it long ago.She silently went to the kitchen to pour a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Chen Baoyue.

"It's cold outside, isn't it? You should drink something warm first." Lin Miao spoke first, and when the words came out, she didn't think it was difficult.

As for why she came here, Lin Miao didn't ask, she would tell sooner or later.

Chen Baoyue just held the cup, and the steaming mist of tea made her complexion a little better.

"You haven't changed much from before," Chen Baoyue said with a sigh of relief, "It's been a long time since we sat together drinking tea and chatting like this."

"Your body... is it okay? I want to see you when you wake up, but..." Lin Miao hesitated.

"I told them not to see you." Chen Baoyue put down her cup, thumped, and looked up at Lin Miao, "I'm afraid to see you."

She put it bluntly.

Lin Miao was stunned by her eyes, and her heart ached beyond measure. She clenched her fists and murmured courageously: "Baoyue, if you can remember, you will know that I was not the one who pushed you down the mountain. I really don't know why that happened. things, but I hope you can believe me, I can't do something like that."

"Well, my brother and Gu Huai both said that, let me believe you." Chen Baoyue smiled.

Lin Miao felt that something was wrong with her. Not only was she abnormal when she came to the door today, but her whole body seemed weird. Maybe it was because her body hadn't recovered yet, which made her lose the bright and sunny feeling she used to have.

"But when I woke up, I couldn't even take care of myself. My stomach couldn't work, I couldn't eat anything; my brain couldn't work well, I couldn't remember things; I couldn't even walk my legs... It's better to die like this. Okay, I can't care about you anymore." Chen Baoyue said softly at first, but gradually her voice became louder, but it was hoarse and not pleasant to hear, "Fortunately, there is Gu Huai, he is always by my side, I think That's enough. Miaomiao, do you know? I don't care how I fell down the mountain back then, all I care about is Gu Huai, as long as he is by my side, I don't want to see you, because I don't want you to come and destroy us again! Once is enough."

She always thought that if it wasn't for Lin Miao, she and Gu Huai would have been together long ago.

Lin Miao wanted to distinguish: "Baoyue, I'm not..."

"You let me finish." Chen Baoyue raised her hand to wipe away the disappointing tears, and looked at her clankly, "He asked me to believe in you, and I will believe in you. I am willing to do anything for him, but why are you still doing this? Not enough?" Who thought about her discomfort?

Chen Baoyue got up from the sofa suddenly as she spoke. She didn't know whether she was standing unsteadily or on purpose. She knelt down in front of Lin Miao and knocked over the teacup on the glass coffee table. With a bang, the cup shattered and the tea splashed everywhere.

Lin Miao was taken aback, and quickly tried to help her up, but she grabbed her wrist tightly. Such a thin person still has such strength, making Lin Miao unable to move.

"Baoyue, get up quickly and speak up if you have something to say." Lin Miao was at a loss for what to do.

When she was pouring tea just now, she hastily sent Chen Jizhen a message, and she didn't know if he would come back in time, but now her hunch was right, as soon as Gu Huai was mentioned, Bao Yue's emotions immediately lost control, but she was no longer able to comfort her. people.

As early as when she knew that they both liked Gu Huai, Bao Yue said that they could no longer be friends. On the mountain that day, she thought they could get back together, but it was just a naive idea.She wanted to break up with her.

"Actually, he stayed with me because he wanted me to get well soon and help you get rid of your bad reputation, but I still pretended not to know." Chen Baoyue laughed while crying, "Miaomiao, sometimes I really envy you. "

Lin Miao hesitated for a moment, envious of herself?She smiled wryly. In the past few years, is there anything enviable about her life?Is it really a siege?

"You don't have to worry, Gu Huai and I have already separated." As for what Gu Huai thought, she couldn't stop her.

"Yes, even without Gu Huai, you still have my brother, hehe, they are all protecting you."

Lin Miao was almost unable to stand up, and every pen was a bad debt. "Bao Yue..."

"I didn't come here today to say these things to make you sympathize with me. I also told my family that I will not pursue what happened back then no matter what. You can rest assured. I came to you to ask you where Gu Huai is. Can you tell me?" Chen Baoyue raised her head and stared at Lin Miao, as if trying to see something in her eyes.

Lin Miao shook her head honestly: "I don't know."

"He never contacted you?"

Lin Miao's heart skipped a beat when she asked this question, and suddenly remembered the phone call she received that afternoon.

In that instant, Chen Baoyue knew that she had guessed right, and she lost her strength in vain, and fell to the ground, as if she had lost her soul.

"It's over with him. But Baoyue, you can't force things about your relationship. Gu Huai..."

"You don't need to preach to me! Now that you are over, why do you still have contact with him? It is because of this that he will never forget you, and will not tolerate me!"

Chen Baoyue suddenly went crazy, looking at Lin Miao with madness and dissatisfaction in his eyes.This is already different from the Chen Baoyue that Lin Miao met a few years ago. Even when she knew that she was dating Gu Huai, she had never been this crazy.But Chen Baoyue couldn't take care of so much, the uneasiness, humbleness, and contradictory pride that had been suppressed all the time burst out at this moment.She saw the shattered teacup porcelain in her hand, and made a frightening move—grabbed the shards, and pressed the sharp part against the veins of her wrist.

"Baoyue, what are you going to do? That's very dangerous!" Lin Miao was about to snatch the sharp weapon from her hand, but she failed.

Enduring the pain, she continued to comfort her: "Calm down, and speak up if you have something to say."

"I want you to promise me, no, I want you to swear that you will never see Gu Huai again, and you will never contact him again! Otherwise, I will die for you right now!" Chen Baoyue couldn't calm down, and asked her to promise , Seeing that she was slow to speak, he swiped hard at his hand.

"I promise you! I promise everything! Don't mess around." Lin Miao was in a hurry, and once again reached out to grab the tile. After arguing, she finally snatched the tile this time, but Due to inertia, she fell backwards and hit the corner of the sofa. The pain was so painful that she couldn't even get up for a while, and her head became confused all of a sudden.

When Chen Jizhen came back by speeding car, he saw such a shocking scene.

"Chen Baoyue, what are you crazy about?" Chen Jizhen ran over without taking off his shoes, picked up Lin Miao and lay on the sofa, asked Lin Miao if she was okay, but she couldn't open her eyes, then looked at her hands, Bleeding all the time.

Chen Baoyue was also stunned. After venting, she seemed to realize what she had just done.

Especially at the end, her brother said something softly in her ear, which was enough to wake her up.

"You know very well that she has nothing to do to you. How dare you do this?"

Because of Chen Jiti's appearance, everything returned to calm.

Lin Miao sat sideways on the sofa, staring straight at the window, without moving for a long time, as if she liked this posture very much.

The sky cleared up in the afternoon, and the sun fell on her face, coating it with a thin layer of warmth.

Chen Jizhen was sitting next to her, and all the ceramic fragments on the floor had been cleaned up. If it weren't for the tea stains that could not be wiped off the sofa cover, the tranquility at this moment would make it impossible for people to imagine what kind of situation they experienced just now. twists and turns.

There was a family medicine box on the tea table. Chen Jizhen wanted to disinfect and wipe Lin Miao's hands. Although they were all shallow porcelain scratches, there were several large and small scratches that made people feel distressed. He put down the gauze and touched it. Her forehead was a little cold: "Why don't you go to the hospital?" She didn't know where she hit, but she kept refusing to say.

Lin Miao turned around, pursed her lips and shook her head at him, her eyes shifted to him: "How is Bao Yue?"

Chen Baoyue's temperament changed drastically. Lin Miao didn't know what words to use to describe her mood at the moment. The physical pain was nothing but sadness.

"She's fine. I asked Lu Yi to take her back." Then he changed the subject, and his tone became a little harsher, "You know the danger and don't dodge it? What's going on in your mind? You still need your hands Don't want it anymore?" The old wound was healed, but a new wound was added, and he couldn't help but feel angry.

"She's your sister." Lin Miao squinted at him.

Chen Jiti smiled, "Who said it wasn't?"

Lin Miao was so watched by him that he subconsciously wanted to dodge. He seemed to know her movements, so he simply hugged her onto his lap so that he didn't have to go anywhere. It might be a little stronger. Hearing that she couldn't help it There was a "hiss".

Chen Jizhen suddenly seemed to think of something, and he reached out and lifted the hem of her home clothes.In broad daylight... Lin Miao blushed and grabbed his hand, refusing to back down.Chen Jizhen just glanced at her lightly.

Lin Miao sighed, turned her neck away and refused to look at him again.

Chen Jizhen pulled up her clothes, her skin was white, and the red spot on her waist was particularly obvious, and it was foreseeable that it would turn blue in a short time, and he just touched her with his fingers, and she trembled in pain... He His face immediately sank.

Lin Miao felt that the process of Chen Jizhen's application of medicine was similar to that of punishment, but she didn't cry out for pain.

Taking advantage of the sunshine outside, Chen Jizhen carefully looked at her face, and suddenly said: "Lin Miao, you are always tolerant to others, but you are only cruel to yourself. Oh, yes, and me."

Lin Miao froze.Tolerant?No, she just didn't have the energy to resent.Moreover, Lin Miao was already very tired after going through such an experience, and he didn't have the energy to fight with him, let alone think deeply about the meaning of his words.

She gently pushed him away, and stood up slowly, remembering Chen Baoyue's abnormality just now, she frowned, and asked instead: "You have been refusing to let me go to the hospital, except for your mother's reason, and because you are afraid that Baoyue will Will Yue lose control like this?"

It's just that he doesn't know whether he is afraid that Bao Yue will be hurt, or that she will be helpless.

Her only answer was the rustle of the medicine bottle being put back into the box.

"You never say what you do. You have to be guessed and asked." Some people say they don't do it, while others don't say what they do. Chen Jizhen obviously belongs to the latter, Lin Miao laughed at herself , "Forget it, it doesn't matter if I know or not."

It's useless to resent, and it's useless to know.She and Gu Huai have no fate to be together, and she and Bao Yue can't be friends. As for the problems between her and Chen Jizhen... It's more like a bad fate, with no future in sight.So she doesn't ask anything.

"Lin Miao!" Chen Jizhen frowned displeased.

Lin Miao was not afraid of his anger, and raised her hand to caress his eyebrows, as if to calm his emotions.

"Has anyone ever told you you have beautiful eyes?" she murmured softly.

Pretty is not an appropriate word to describe a man, but she really thinks that these eyes are so beautiful that they have magical powers. Otherwise, as long as he takes a fixed look, she will let go of what she insisted on, and put aside what she was worried about.

She used to hate him when he was pressing every step of the way.And now...

Lin Miao didn't sleep well that night, she tossed and turned repeatedly, and everyone around her knew clearly how many times she moved.

Early the next morning, she woke up in a daze, her head was still swollen, she just sat up and fell back on the pillow, and then she remembered why she felt pain. What happened yesterday made her physically uncomfortable and her heart even more uncomfortable.

When she went downstairs, she first heard noises from the kitchen, and then saw that the dining table was full of breakfast. She was stunned. Chen Jizhen almost never entered the kitchen unless she was feeling uncomfortable. In fact, he was somewhat machismo.

Tilting her head, she caught a glimpse of him wearing gray casual clothes, and the milk pot in front of her was sizzling.

Turning around, Chen Jizhen happened to meet her eyes, raised his lips subconsciously and wanted to smile at her, but when he thought of the unconscionable things she said yesterday, he restrained himself.Soon, there was a cup of hot milk at just the right temperature in front of Lin Miao.

The two remained silent for a while.In fact, as long as Lin Miao subdues, Chen Jizhen is easy to talk to, especially to her.

But Lin Miao was stubborn, so he ate a sunny breakfast in a dim light.

Halfway through, Chen Jizhen went out to answer the phone, and suddenly said to her when he came back: "I don't think you should sign up for the language class here, just go there and learn."

This topic started too suddenly, Lin Miao's heart skipped a beat, he didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy, he was worried that Bao Yue would conflict with him again, only she left.

She suppressed her doubts, lowered her eyes and asked softly, "When?"

"Just this week, pack it yourself first, don't bring too many things, and go to buy what you lack."

"Okay." Lin Miao answered obediently, without asking any extra words.

Chen Jizhen glanced at her, but when he turned around, his face was terribly gloomy. He didn't continue to eat breakfast, went upstairs, changed his clothes, and went out.
