the knife of love

Chapter 141 Promise him
Su Jue stared into Tang Jingcheng's eyes.

Surrounded by white walls, light yellow wooden tables and chairs, her eyes are almost clear in the soft light.

He was right, she was starting to get back to her best self now, like a child, trying to let go of the ugly and dirty truth.

"Want to drink?" Su Jue suddenly suggested, "The plum wine here is pretty good."

Tang Jingcheng shook his head: "I came by car, why don't you come?"

"Okay." Su Jue agreed readily.

Tang Jingcheng asked the waiter for wine and poured it for him himself, but he only drank warm water.

"Mr. Su, replace wine with tea, thank you for helping me so many times." She raised the water glass, although her words were polite, her attitude was extremely sincere.

Su Jue didn't agree: "You're substituting tea for wine? You're white water!"

"..."

"Don't drink tea? I remember you like to drink Pu'er." He said and wanted to recruit a waiter.

Tang Jingcheng stopped immediately: "No need, I don't drink tea anymore, I quit smoking!"

Su Jue frowned immediately.

"Why, you seem to be in disbelief?"

"Somewhat, why?"

Tang Jingcheng shrank his neck: "Renew your mind, in order to challenge a new life!" After speaking, he began to giggle.

Su Jue's heart tightened a little bit with her smile, as if he saw Tang Jingcheng seven years ago again, wearing a hospital gown and sitting in a sunny ward.

There is a golden light on her body, and everything is soft and smooth to her.

He couldn't help reaching out his hand and brushing her upturned lips.

Tang Jingcheng's smile stopped immediately, and he shrank back as if trembling.

Su Jue smiled, "You have a piece of hair sticking to the corner of your mouth." He gently pushed the hair away.

Well... the whole atmosphere was successfully froze by him, Tang Jingcheng coughed lightly, holding the water glass and turning his head away...

As a result, Su Jue drank too much that night, and when he came out of the yard, his gait was a little unsteady, Tang Jingcheng supported him.

"How about it?"

"Fortunately."

"Just pretend, where's your driver?"

He glanced at the alley: "I let him go back first."

"Then take you to a taxi?"

Su Jue smiled, staring at Tang Jingcheng's car parked at the door: "You can see me off."

"..."

"I've been with you in the hospital for so long before, so what if you send me off once?" The heat in Su Jue's eyes rose, perhaps alcohol can really strengthen a person's courage, and he would never be able to say these brazen words if he put them aside.

Tang Jingcheng was also embarrassed to refuse.

"OK, where do you live?"

"You have been."

"..."

Tang Jingcheng helped Su Jue into the car, and fastened his seat belt for him. He seemed to be really drunk, and an unnatural blush appeared on his usually fair-skinned face.

After sitting down, he automatically slumped down on the chair, pulled off the tie around his neck, and unbuttoned two shirt buttons.

That side face actually made Tang Jingcheng think of the words "wild and unruly".

It turns out that the "facial paralysis face" that drank too much looks like this.

When the car drove on the main road, Su Jue sat up a little bit, and a small pendant hanging on the rearview mirror kept dangling in front of his eyes, making people upset.

He fished out the pendant, which was a round jade ring with patterns carved around it, and a piece of colored glaze was hollowed out in the middle.

"It's very delicate, what did you do?"

Tang Jingcheng was driving the car, and only glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "No, I'm a man."

"..."

For a moment, Su Jue felt that the words "my man" were so abrupt.

"Qiu Qiguan?"

"Well, who else is there?" Tang Jingcheng smiled, looking straight ahead naturally, "I only have him as a man, in my heart."

In her heart, she only recognized Qiu Qiguan alone.

Su Jue felt a little out of breath, and reached out to open the car window.

Tang Jingcheng thought he was hot: "I turned on the air conditioner in the car."

He smiled coolly: "I just want to breathe."

Soon they arrived at the downstairs of Su Jue's apartment.

"Do you need me to take you up there?"

Su Jue shook his head and unbuckled his seatbelt: "No, thank you for taking me back and thank you for today's dinner."

Tang Jingcheng felt a little embarrassed when he said it: "But in the end, you will pay the bill."

"It's etiquette. I don't have the habit of asking women to pay the bill."

Tang Jingcheng immediately rolled his eyes, he really is a self righteous man.

"Let's go, see you later!" Su Jue got out of the car, Tang Jingcheng didn't turn the head of the car immediately, the light from the headlights shot far away, she sat in the car and watched Su Jue walk into the apartment unsteadily, suddenly laughed Come out, it seems that this paralyzed man is not as difficult to get along with as before.

Unexpectedly, Su Jue, who had just entered the lobby, turned back and stood outside knocking on Tang Jingcheng's car window.

"Anything else?" She rolled down the window.

Su Jue bowed his body, and the faint smell of plum wine on his body rushed to Tang Jingcheng's face with the breeze.

"If... I said if, if I want to chase you, will you agree?"

"No!" Tang Jingcheng replied resolutely, glanced at the dangling jade ring, and pressed his fist on his heart: "As I said just now, I can only pretend to be a man here. "

"But he's gone."

"But I can live for him, every minute and every second in the future, I will live for him." Tang Jingcheng's voice was light and hoarse, she was no longer sad, the ordeal gave her a nightmare , but pain can also give her strength.

Su Jue was a little reconciled.

"What about him?"

"Who?"

"Guanlue!"

Tang Jingcheng smiled, and knocked his fist on his heart: "He doesn't count, there has never been a place for him!"

……

Tang Jingcheng drove away from Su Jue's apartment, turned on the stereo in the car, an English song with a soothing tone, but every line of the lyrics could touch the deepest part of her heart.

The jade ring in front of her was still shaking, she reached out to touch it, then turned the car around and drove to another road.

It has been several months since the last time I came to the studio, and grass has grown in the gaps between the bluestone slabs at the door.

Tang Jingcheng opened the door and went in, turned on the light, everything inside was the same, except the ginkgo tree in the courtyard seemed to have more lush branches and leaves.

This is a good sign, and she couldn't help but be delighted.

Across the yard is the workshop.

It is not so much a studio as it is a place where Tang Jingcheng works alone. The scale is small, at best it may not be one-fifth of that of Qiu Qiguan's, and she has never recruited apprentices.

Her temperament is not good at getting along with others, her temper is twisted, and a self-centered person can only take care of herself, so she has been alone in the past few years. Yu Huanxi even got her an assistant named Xiao Min before, I wanted to do some work for her to buy food, make tea and run errands, but the little girl worked with her for more than half a month, and she cried no less than five times.

Tang Jingcheng's temper is too stinky, choking and merciless to the other party. Most people really can't bear it. Later, Xiaomin simply left and went to Yu Huanxi's company, so Tang Jingcheng has almost always been a bare-bones commander. .

Usually, Yu Huanxi would do the work for her outside, and when she was in a good mood, she would do it next. When she was in a bad mood, she might not be willing to move her fingers no matter how high the price was.

It's just so hypocritical, anyway, the family doesn't lack her little money to go back.

At that time, Qiu Qiguan doted on her again, and felt distressed seeing her too tired or staying up late, so Tang Jingcheng's excellent craft was wasted in vain. She only produced a few works in the few years since she was a teacher, but each one was absolutely perfect. Sophisticated, this is also one of her personalities, either do not do it, or do it absolutely high-quality goods.

Subconsciously, maybe Tang Jingcheng has obsessive-compulsive disorder, extreme personality, extreme, and this kind of people are most likely to pick baskets in life.

Tang Jingcheng walked around the studio, and found that the green plants in the window were all withered, and a thick layer of dust was already on the countertop. She bent down to take a breath, and was so choked that she immediately fanned it with her hands.

Turning around, I found the apron that Diaoyu used to wear before, put it on, and put on the sleeves, roughly wiped the workbench, and finally took out the mobile phone and charger in the bag, plugged it in, and the red star lit up.

Soon the sound of machines sounded in the studio, cutting materials, emerging embryos, rough carving...

When Su Jue walked into the yard, the door of the studio was open. Through the shade of the swaying trees, he could see the silhouette of Tang Jingcheng sitting in front of the workbench and working seriously.

The moonlight is hazy outside, but the lights inside are warm and bright.

There are special lights on the workbench for each process. The orange light shines from the top of her head. Under the light, Tang Jingcheng is wearing an apron, sleeves, and a gauze tied on her head. Staring, holding a jade tablet in his left hand and a file in his right...

It was the first time Su Jue saw her working, and found that her eyes were full of vigor when she was carving jade.

Yes, vigor, only with vigor can we carve works with aura.

It's just that her right hand has not recovered yet, and the knife is not strong enough. A simple groove needs to be carved several times. After several times, her fingers will obviously start to tremble, so she needs to put down the file and rest for a while.

Turning slightly to one side, Tang Jingcheng saw Su Jue standing behind him.

She was taken aback suddenly.

"Why are you here?"

Su Jue approached, looking at the unformed jade tablet on the table under the lamp.

In fact, he wanted to say that he often came here when he was in a bad mood, but he changed his words immediately: "I'm passing by..."

"Passing by? Pfft... I just sent you back."

"That's me following you!"

"..."

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I want to make something small." Tang Jingcheng turned sideways again, no longer entangled in why Su Jue came to her studio suddenly.

In essence, she is not a person who is easily entangled.

"doing what?"

"Do it..." Tang Jingcheng suddenly sold off, "Anyway, it's just a little thing, and you'll know it in a while."

She lowered her head again to carve each knife. Every knife seemed to be very difficult. The strength of her right hand was uncontrollable, and she almost cut her fingers a few times.

"How is your right hand recovering recently?"

Tang Jingcheng smiled wryly while carving: "What else can I do, you have seen it all."

"Have you thought about treating it well?"

"I thought about it, but not now." Tang Jingcheng put down the file, and stroked the stiff fingers of his right hand one by one with his left hand, "I don't have time now, and I can't cure it."

"Why? Do you have other plans?"

"Yes." Tang Jingcheng smiled and looked at the charging phone, "I have to raise a child for my man."

Su Jue didn't respond in one breath. He had taught this girl that sometimes she spoke insanely.

"What do you mean?"

"My child." Tang Jingcheng leaned back on the chair, patted his lower abdomen with his hand, "Here, I didn't knock it out that day!" Then he smiled, and turned around to continue carving jade after laughing.

Su Jue just hung there, and the inextricable emotions in his heart couldn't be brought together in the end.

Did she mean she didn't abort the baby that day in the hospital?
But this is...

"Guan Lue's child?"

"Wrong, my child, after he is born he will have the surname 'Qiu'. This is the continuation of my life."

"..." It was crazy, unbelievable.

"Have you ever thought that you are alone with the baby..."

"I have thought about it, I have thought about everything, and I have never lived so clearly before!" Tang Jingcheng turned around from the table, "I have died many times, the first time, Qiu Qiguan Just after leaving, I took his ashes to Tengchong, and I didn't plan to come back alive that time..."

I just didn't expect to encounter Guan Lue.

She was already in his plan, but he never thought that he would meet this man in Tengchong.

"The second time, I was shot in the shoulder and saved my life, but my right hand was crippled, and I wanted to die too."

"The third time... the third time..." Tang Jingcheng let out a soft breath, "Don't talk about it, anyway, it's a miracle that I can live to this day. Now that Qiu Qiguan is gone, my father is gone, but I am surprised With this child, he should be an angel..."

Speaking of this, Tang Jingcheng couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Maybe I also feel that what I said is hypocritical, but isn't this child an angel?
"When he comes, I have to stay, I have to give birth to him, and then raise him. We will depend on each other in the future and have nothing to do with anyone."

In short, she wants to be a single mother, and this child has nothing to do with his father in the future!

"..."

Su Jue didn't know how to answer the words for a while, the accident was beyond the scope of his imagination.

"Don't look at me in shock, I'm serious!"

Su Jue believes that this girl will either not do it, or she will make an earth-shattering decision.

"But what if he finds out about the existence of the child someday in the future?"

"No, I won't let him know. I will leave here when my stomach grows bigger, and I will come back after the baby is born. Besides, I am nothing more than a whim in his heart. After time, he will take me away. Forget." Tang Jingcheng seemed to have already planned everything.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Pu'er, there is a small town at the foot of Jingmai Mountain. I lived there for a few days before. The mountain is high and the road is far away, so it is suitable for me to escape from the world." She said this easily, without any joke in it.

"Everything is arranged?"

"Not yet, but there's really nothing to arrange."

Su Jue could only wipe her forehead with her hand, she still thought everything too simply.

"The economy in that place is backward, and the transportation is inconvenient. It seems that it is not suitable for pregnancy and childcare. If you just want to avoid him, maybe I can give you a mind."

"Well, let's talk about it."

Su Jue frowned: "Go to Myanmar, I just have a friend over there, he is a doctor, he can arrange these things for you, and he can help you treat your hand after the child is born, and Myanmar is going out of the border , it should be more mountainous and farther than Pu’er.”

He was just trying to make a suggestion, but Tang Jingcheng turned his head to the side, as if he didn't think about it.

"Okay, I may have to trouble you again then." She agreed without any hesitation.
