the knife of love

Chapter 288 Tang Jingcheng, Sorry

As soon as I went out, I heard crackling sounds from the other end of the corridor...

Who's the big night!

Xiao Ru walked over lightly, and at the end of the corridor was a safety door, with a "safety exit" indicator light on the wall, and the door led to the stairs.

She took a few steps closer, and found that the sound was coming from the stairs, crackling, intermittent...

The security door was ajar, and Xiao Ru calmed down in the corridor for a while before gently pushing the door open.

What did you see?
There was no light in the corridor, and a tall and slender figure was sitting on the lower steps, holding two lit firework sticks in his hands, crackling and emitting sparks.

Xiao Ru was stunned...

It was supposed to be a funny scene.

In the dead of night, still in the inpatient ward, a big man actually hid in the corridor and set off fireworks sticks, what the hell?But Xiaoru felt that the back was helpless and painful for no reason.

She walked over with her bag and went down a flight of steps.

"Hi!" Xiaoru greeted pretending to be calm.

Guan slightly turned his head, the firework stick was still held there, and Xiao Ru realized that he was still holding half a cigarette in the other hand. Guan Lue just glanced sideways at her, and then turned back to set off the fireworks sticks.

Xiao Ru was a little annoyed by such a cold opening, she simply walked over and sat down on the steps next to Guan Lue, beside him, and turned her head to look at his profile.

After watching for a while, Guan Lue didn't reject her or drive her away, but he just didn't speak.

Xiao Ru was a little embarrassed.

"Hi, I'm a nurse here."

"Ok, I know!"

"You know?" Xiaoru was excited, did he recognize himself?

"Do you remember me?"

"what?"

"Remember I'm a nurse?"

"..." Guan Lue finally turned around and gave her another sideways glance, but said coldly: "Remember, aren't you wearing nurse's clothes?"

Xiao Ru looked down, her face turned red up to her ears.

Nima, she felt like an idiot in front of this man, and the only sound left in the corridor was the sound of fireworks.

Xiaoru sat with him for a while, gradually calmed down a bit, and stopped talking at all, and stared sideways at Guan Lue with her chin resting on her hands.

Guan Lue seemed to be in his own world from the beginning to the end. The fireworks sticks in his hand followed one after another. After the blink of an eye, he took out another stick from the box at his feet, and used the cigarette butt to touch the fuse. After the sparks lit up He put the cigarette in his mouth, took a deep puff, and squinted his eyes in the smoke to see the sparks falling from the stick in his hand.

What kind of feeling is that?

Xiao Ru watched him intently from the side, but he focused on the stick in his hand.

The scene was extremely disharmonious, especially the tall and strong Guan Lue, who was wearing a black leather jacket and had a cigarette in his mouth. His whole body was full of chilling aura, but he was lying here playing with fireworks sticks.

Please, this is something for children and girls, okay?What the hell is he focusing on as a big man?

But Xiaoru couldn't say a word during the whole process, and could only watch Guan Lue's side face earnestly from the side, the firework stick in his hand flickered on and off, and when it went off, his face would be hidden in darkness, and When it lights up, half of the outline will become clearer, especially those eyes, which are dark and bright, gathering the flames of the fireworks in the eyes.

Burn one, sink one.

Just like that, he burned two whole boxes of fireworks sticks silently. He obviously didn't say a word, but Xiao Ru insisted that this man was full of oppressive pain and despair.

After burning, he slowed down a little, and the cigarette in his hand was extinguished, so he straightened one leg and took out the cigarette case from his trouser pocket.

With a "chi-", this time it was the fire from the lighter, which instantly illuminated most of his face.

This time Xiaoru could see clearly, his handsome facial features and cold eyes.

"Hello..." Xiaoru said.

It was only then that Guan Lue remembered that there was someone beside him, but he didn't answer the conversation, and continued to bury his head in lighting his cigarette.

Xiaoru was very angry. To be honest, she was not bad looking. There were a lot of people chasing her in the circle of friends or in the hospital, and it was the first time that she was so insignificant in front of men.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!"

Guan Lue was in the firelight, his brows were obviously wrinkled, and he said for a long time: "Yes!" Finally, he made a sound, which was regarded as an answer.

Xiao Ru was a little discouraged, and her voice softened a little: "I am a nurse here."

"Well, you just said that."

"I mean, I'm a nurse here, and I have the right to stop you from smoking in the hospital!"

"..."

This time Guan didn't frown slightly, but the hand that lit the cigarette paused for a moment, but he still didn't stop. He directly burned the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and spit out the smoke ring carelessly, finally turned around, his cold eyes fixed on On Xiao Ru's face: "So what?"

Xiao Ru almost missed the answer, not because of the man's arrogant tone, but because of the energy on his body at this time, that energy was too strong, with a cigarette in his mouth, a serious face, and a pair of dark eyes narrowed slightly, Disdainful all over, but with absolute bewitching power.

Xiao Ru likes this rascally look, Guan Lue doesn't know that many girls have an unrealistic "big brother dream" in their minds, that is, they meet a cool and attractive big brother with long legs and a suit. Muscles are full of quackery, cold and stinging, and doesn't like to be seen by others, but he only pampers himself.

Guan Lue fits Xiaoru's ideal man in terms of temperament and appearance.

She felt that she must take him down.

Xiao Ru took a deep breath and turned her face away: "Forget it, there are no people on New Year's Eve today, so I will give you privileges." This is what the little girl said to flatter her. Come out, can't help but sneer.

"Heh... how old are you this year?"

Xiao Ru was taken aback: "Are you asking me?"

"Is there anyone else here?"

Xiao Ru blushed immediately, but luckily the corridor was dark, so he couldn't see it either.

"It's 24 during Chinese New Year." Xiao Ru adjusted her breathing, but 24 is just a virtual year, and the full year is less than 23.

Guan slightly pursed his lips and smiled: "Sure enough."

"What really?"

"It's nothing." Guan Lue took another drag on his cigarette, "You sat here with me for half an hour, why? Did you see me?"

"..." Xiaoru thumped again, Emma really didn't know that this man would be so straightforward.

Before, I saw that he was cold and didn't like to talk to people, but he seemed quite coquettish when he chatted.

"Yes, I have a crush on you. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Xiao Ru is not a timid girl, since she has taken the initiative to come over, she is still reserved.

Guan Lue smiled falsely again, shook his head, and brushed his fingers with a cigarette on the bridge of his nose... It's so cool, in Xiao Ru's eyes, this action is so cool.

"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Ru's tone became a little anxious.

Guan Lue was still taking his time, smoking a cigarette, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Who do you know about me?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't look simple anyway!"

"How is it not easy?"

"You..." Xiaoru recalled the time when Shen Chunguang fell into the water before, she fought with her in the ward, until finally a group of men surrounded her, and those men didn't look like kind people.

Looking at Guan Lue's demeanor, it is indescribably wild.

"What am I?"

"Are you a gangster?"

"What kind of mix?"

"It's just that I have a bunch of younger brothers in my hand, um..." Xiaoru usually likes to watch Hong Kong police and gangster movies, and recalling the plots in them, she immediately came to a conclusion, "Fighting and causing trouble everywhere, and collecting protection money!"

"that's it?"

Xiao Ru was taken aback, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, her voice suddenly lowered to close to Guan Lue's ear: "Could it be...Could it be that you still lend usury?"

"..."

Guan Lue laughed all of a sudden, but his smile was uglier than anything else. After laughing, he stood up, took a cigarette in his mouth, patted the ashes on his legs, and left.

Let's go, Nima just left!

Xiaoru felt as if she was being played hard by someone, so she immediately got up and went after her.

"Hey, what do you mean? Yes, I've taken a fancy to you and want to try with you. I know that woman in the ward has an affair with you, but they're all so dead. Who made the trouble? Isn't it all yours? Don't think I don't know what you did!" Xiao Ru yelled while standing on the steps with all her strength.

Guan Lue turned his head abruptly, and he was still standing in the corridor, but he had already opened a crack in the security door in front of him, and the light in the corridor penetrated into the crack, just opening a golden path at the end of his eyes.

The smoldering look in his eyes was in the path of light, and when he glanced over, his whole body was full of evil spirits, so frightened that Xiaoru took a step back unconsciously, and almost rolled down the stairs with a grunt.

Guan slightly closed the door, and walked down the steps step by step.

"You... what are you doing!"

Xiao Ru clenched her fists and her mouth trembled, but she didn't escape.

Until Guan Lue approached her, he was already tall, and he was standing on the next step of her. When he lowered his body and forced him over, Xiao Ru felt a fatal suffocation. This suffocation made her feel both scared and enjoyable.

Yes, it's fun, damn it!
"Hey you…"

"Say what you just said again!"

"Just say it!" A thought crossed Xiaoru's mind, she's going to fight it out, afraid of you?I'm afraid you won't come along!

"Am I wrong? That woman was tortured half to death by you. She was half dead when she was sent here. Her body was full of injuries. There were traces of being tied up with ropes on her ankles and wrists. There were nails on one hand. She was undressed and her clothes were disheveled. The gynecology department wanted to do a private examination for her, but she had to ask for her consent...but... anyway, I heard from the doctor in the department that I might have to spend the rest of my life in bed Already!"

Xiao Ru fell outwards with a splash, the cruelty in Guan Lue's eyes shone more and more in the dark light, the smoke all over her body was mixed with the cold leather smell on her body, but she kept silent.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Ru moved her body.

"But..." She was almost dizzy from his approaching face, and she slowed down a little, "But do you really like her? I think you are here to accompany her every day, atonement!"

"..."

Guan Lue raised his body in her words, and seemed to be shaking unsteadily in the darkness.

"roll!"

"what?"

"Disappear from my eyes immediately, don't let me see you again!" Guan Lue turned his head and left after finishing speaking, and went straight out of the security door.

Xiaoru vowed not to give up, and followed like a demon, the more this man hated her, the more energetic he became.

"Hello!" She rushed out again with the bag, Guan Lue had already reached the corridor, and had no intention of stopping, so Xiao Ru simply chased after him and blocked him, panting, looking at Guan Lue's cold face.

The two settled for a while.

With a shake of Guan Wei's long legs, the hostility in his eyes seemed to disappear suddenly.

"What's your name?"

"Ah?" Xiao Ru was stunned, "Zhou Ru!"

"Okay, I remember you. What you said just now is all right, every word is right. It is all my responsibility for her to become like this, but you are wrong in the last sentence!"

The last sentence?
Xiao Ru began to try to recall what she had just said.

Damn she just said a lot.

"Which is the last sentence? Hey..." Guan Lue had already turned around and walked towards the ward when Xiao Ru spoke. She hurriedly chased after a few steps, and the man standing at the door of the ward suddenly stopped.

"I'm not atoning, I just want her to stay!"

"..."

Xiao Ru was stunned for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Guan Lue had already pushed open the door of the ward and entered.

"Boom——" the door was slammed, and Xiao Ru stood in a daze in the empty corridor, and raised the bag she had been carrying in her hand: "Today is New Year's Eve...I just want...to treat you to some dumplings ..."

……

Guan Lue supported his forehead, and had been sitting in front of Shen Chunguang's bed for more than an hour.

Since her accident, it seems that the time has been stretched for a very long time. He was caught in this long time, unable to move, unable to leave, and he was willing and happy.

In the past, he was always impatient in doing things, and occasionally watching a movie wished to kill him, but now he can maintain a posture and sit for an hour or two.

He didn't take a bite of the dinner that Ning Bo sent him, but he had already smoked all the cigarettes on his body, and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks exploding could be heard from outside the window from time to time.

Guan slightly checked the time, and it would be early morning in more than half an hour.

After midnight is a brand new year.

The girl on the bed was dressed in bright red, but unfortunately it was pajamas.

Guan Lue tried his best to recall the first time he saw her in Tengchong four years ago, her long hair was disheveled, her face was haggard and pale, and she was so depressed that she seemed to be terminally ill and would die at any time.

At that time, Qiu Qiguan had just passed away, and Yang Xi brought the ball to force the inheritance. Shen Chunguang's neurological disorder had developed to a very serious level.

What was the first thing they said between them?
Guan slightly recalled, did she help cover the gash on the wounded man's neck?
No, no, she dropped the condom, and he picked it up for her?
It doesn't seem right!
That is, when the bus arrived in the town, her luggage was stolen, and when she was penniless, Guan Lue just stepped forward to act as a "good-hearted person" who was willing to help others.

The first sentence seemed to be that she asked him for cigarettes, and then they spent two days and three nights together in Tengchong Heshun Ancient Town, and the matter seemed to start from then.

He went to provoke her first, but ended up getting himself involved.

"Hehe...it's all messed up. I don't seem to remember what I said when I first met you." Guan Wei sat down on the edge of the bed with bent legs, squeezed Shen Chunguang's cool hand, and squeezed her slightly bent knuckles. Straighten it a little bit, just being pinched in his palm so softly.

"Do you remember? I guess you don't remember either. You girl has always had no conscience. If you had a conscience, you wouldn't go to Burma with Lao Tzu three years ago, let alone disappear for three years. Cut off contact."

"...It's okay to lose contact, but she still has a new look, Shen Chunguang? The happy one?" Guan Lue recalled that he saw her "for the first time" in the Crystal Palace not long ago, in that stuffy private room , he asked her name.

She replied without blushing, "Shen Chunguang!"

"Boundless spring?"

"Wrong, it's the happy spring!"

Guan Lue squeezed her finger and laughed "Chi": "There is a difference between Happy Spring and Happy Together? Anyway, it's all flirtatious! Why don't you just call yourself Shen Chunhua? Chunhua Chunhua is so nice!"

"Return Xing'er, are you willing to take the name Xing'er?"..."

Guan Lue laughed out loud as he spoke, his eyes were sore from laughing, and he brushed his nose again with his hand.

"Forget it, you should still be called by your original name. The original name sounds quite cultured... Your father, who has no kind, gave it to you, right? At least it fits your status as an artist, unlike Chunguang Xing'er's." , the whole flower name..."

"And your temper... your face and scars have changed, why can't you change your temper? It looks so hard, it looks very powerful, but in fact it is useless at critical times, and you are bullied to death Why...how dare to be so arrogant in front of me? That rampant energy..."

Guan slightly narrowed his eyes and smiled, looking at the few stars scattered outside the window.

"Rampant like a lioness, but quite tolerant, sometimes I wish you were not so tolerant, you can't help but say it, hate me, or want to stab me with a knife...I'd rather You stabbed me directly with a knife, it would be more enjoyable than it is now, and now it is lingering... You have already licked me once three years ago, and now you will do it again..."

Guan Lue's voice was already hoarse when he said that, his forehead was buried on the back of Shen Chunguang's left hand, in such a weak posture...

Fireworks and firecrackers were in full swing outside the window, but inside the house was deathly silence.

It took a long time before I heard a faint and deep voice.

"Tang Jingcheng, I'm sorry..."

Feeling suffocated in his heart, Guan Lue rested his forehead on her arm, his fingertips were loosened by him, and he reached out to touch the small key hanging on it.

The key moved and felt her hand move too.

Guan Lue didn't look up, the whole person fell down...

Shen Chunguang once watched a documentary about Antarctica when she was recuperating in Germany. At that time, the subtitles and dubbing were in Spanish. She didn't remember the name, but only remembered that there was a penguin in it.

This penguin is very strange. He neither goes to the beach with other penguins to forage, nor returns home to hatch eggs. Instead, he walks alone to the distant mountains, 5000 miles of barren inland, and there is no way back. He is just like that. Alone with his back to the camera, without hesitation.

Shen Chunguang now feels that she is the penguin, with the icy Antarctic behind her, but she is walking on the ice alone, going to the endless distance.

Until someone behind her seemed to call her name.

"Tang Jingcheng..."

"Tang Jingcheng, come back!"

"Tang Jingcheng, what the hell are you crazy about!"

"Tang Jingcheng, what do you want to do?"

"Tang Jingcheng, I'm sorry..."
