the knife of love

Chapter 350 Two Men in Her Life
The Balingshan cemetery belongs to Yunling's high-end cemetery, so the mountain road is obviously steeper than the one where Tang Ji was buried, and Qiu Qiguan's cemetery is near the top of the mountain.

Tang Jingcheng needed to climb hundreds of steps to climb up, and when she reached the middle of the mountain, she was a little out of breath. Guan Lue sat with her on the steps for a while, and in just a few minutes, the sun was about to reach the top of her head.

"Go, continue!" She continued to climb up the mountain with a two-month-old stomach, the sun was scorching, and the wind in the mountains blew her wide sleeves.

Guan Lue followed her, looked at the thin figure in front of her and didn't speak until they walked to Qiu Qiguan's cemetery.

The cemetery occupies a large area, with a white marble fence, lifelike animals carved on the fence, and a circle of pines and cypresses planted around it.

Guan Lue didn't go any further, but stood on the outer steps.

Tang Jingcheng took the bouquet of flowers from him, stepped on the marble steps, and walked to Qiu Qiguan's tombstone.

There were two or three offerings on the ground in front of the stele, and the ashes in the censer had already cooled down, and when the wind blew, some ash would float out of the censer.

Tang Jingcheng thought to Qingming not long ago, someone should have come to see him.

Who will come?Probably only Qiu Yueyi.

Tang Jingcheng knelt down on the ground with one foot, and put the flowers in his hand in front of the stele.

The words on the stele have been clearly redrawn, it is dark gold, and the black marble on the stele surface is also cleaned very cleanly. It can even reflect the blurred outline of Tang Jingcheng's face. It can be seen that there are often people here to take care of it. The photo is still old, and the color has obviously faded with the baptism of the mountain wind.

Tang Jingcheng couldn't help stretching out his hand, and brushed his fingers over the face in the photo. He was still wearing a white shirt, and he seemed to be smiling at her with a clear smile, just like the first time she was in her father's study when she was 17 years old. Same as seeing him.

"Hello, I'm Qiu Qiguan!"

"Hi, my name is Tang Jingcheng!"

Everything is as warm as in memory, even the sunshine is just warm enough, but this man who seems to be full of book fragrance, he once loved Tang Jingcheng with his life.

"Qi Guan, long time no see..."

Tang Jingcheng simply sat down in front of the tombstone.

"Isn't it almost four years? I haven't seen you for four years. How are you here alone?"

"I'm fine. As you can see, it should still be the same."

"Your mother is also very good. It is said that she is no longer in business. Three years ago, I sneaked to see her before I went to see her. She moved to live in the small apartment where you were born. She is very tough, and I believe she is stronger than me."

"...I haven't come to see you in recent years, because many things have happened, but my temper has calmed down a lot, and..." Tang Jingcheng rubbed his stomach, "Do you see it? I can be a mother again, The baby is two months old…”

"..."

Guan Lue stood about four or five meters away from Tang Jingcheng smoking a cigarette, and saw her sitting in front of Qiu Qiguan's tombstone, talking all the time, but he couldn't hear what she was saying, anyway, she was talking to herself alone, but The face is very expressive, sometimes frowning, sometimes grinning.

When she smiled, her eyes would bend downward into an arc, and her pupils were shining brightly in the sun.

The clouds in the sky moved slowly with the sun. Tang Jingcheng sat in front of Qiu Qiguan's grave for a long time. When Guan Lue smoked the third cigarette, the wind direction on the mountain began to change, and the smoke from his mouth began to flow towards Tang. Blow over there.

He pinched the cigarette butt, put his hand in his pocket, twisted his fingers, and twisted the things in his trouser pocket.

"It's almost noon, aren't you hungry?"

Guan Lue walked over, took out a bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Tang Jingcheng who was on the ground.

Tang Jingcheng raised his head and glanced at him. The sun was scorching hot, and he stood with his back to the sun, just blocking a little sunlight for her.

"Let's go, we still have time to look at it later."

Tang Jingcheng snorted, and was supported by Guan Lue to stand up from the ground. She patted her buttocks and asked, "Do you have anything to say to him?"

"Me?" Guan slightly squinted at the photo on the stele, and frowned, "No!"

"Really not?"

"..."

"I thought you should at least say sorry to him!"

Guan slightly sneered: "Is this necessary?"

From Guan Lue's point of view, he was not wrong. Tang Ji and Qiu Qiguan watched Lou Qingxiao being dragged into the car after being beaten with a crippled leg.

Many things already have opposites, and no one can accurately judge who is right and who is wrong.

He said early in the morning that he was not a kind person, but how could Tang Ji and Qiu Qiguan be merciful?

Guan slightly let go of Tang Jingcheng's arm, turned slightly to look at the stele, and the people on the stele seemed to be looking at him too.

"If I have to say something in front of him, I want to say thank you!"

"..."

"Thank you for editing that text message for you before he left. Although I didn't have time to send it out, if it wasn't for that text message, maybe I wouldn't have gone to Tengchong to find you three years ago."

Tang Jingcheng choked up his voice for a moment.

"Cheng Cheng, I love you..."

Even Qiu Qiguan was reluctant to say the three words she had been asking for when he proposed to her, but he said it in the last breath of his life, but it was still too late after all, and Guan Lue was precisely because he saw his text message The text message in the box decided to go to Tengchong to "encounter" Tang Jingcheng.

It turns out that everything is cause and effect, and some people have a deep relationship, while others have a shallow relationship.

"Let's go down the mountain!"

Tang Jingcheng put the hat on his head again, and walked down the steps first.

Guan Lue paused in front of Qiu Qiguan's tombstone for a while before turning around and chasing Tang Jingcheng who had already walked up the mountain path.

Going up the mountain is strenuous, and going down the mountain is even more strenuous, so Guan Lue carried Tang Jingcheng down the second half of the road.

It was rare for Tang Jingcheng to be so docile, obediently lying on Guan Lue's back, with his arms wrapped around his neck.

The way down the mountain was very long, and the two were silent all the way.

The sun was high at noon, and the sun in May was already very poisonous. Soon Guan Lue's neck was covered with sweat. Tang Jingcheng was about to come down, but he patted her butt with his hand.

"Don't move!"

Tang Jingcheng laughed, and gently laid his face on Guan Lue's hard shoulders, feeling the bones and muscles bulging due to the force of his arms.

Probably no one can understand her obsession with Qiu Qiguan back then, just like no one can understand her feelings for Guan Lue now.

The former is as gentle as jade, has a temperament cultivated by family background and self-cultivation, calm but not withdrawn, knowledgeable but not conceited.

And what about the latter?

The latter is a villain in the eyes of ordinary people, a rogue, who started holding guns in his teens, with a thin layer of callus on the palm of his hand. When he wants to hold you, you will feel pain, but when you are in pain, you can feel him again. Hot hands.

Tang Jingcheng never thought that he would encounter such a man in his life, he could make you live, and he could make you die, he was ruthless, rough, and went to heaven and earth.

But it can also cook a bowl of tea for you on a misty terrace, peel a handful of peanuts for you in a quiet car, and fold a little star for you in a cheap plastic tube.

Even like now, carrying you with sweat on your back, without saying a word, as tough as a rock.

"Guanlue..."

"Ok?"

"marry me."

The person walking on the stone steps choked and stopped.

The hot sun shone overhead.

The wind blows from the other side of the mountain.

The bird heard it, the white cloud heard it, and the man in the white shirt who was as gentle as jade on the hundreds of steps heard it too.

Guan slightly looked at the mottled cracks in the stones on the ground, and green grass emerged from the cracks.

He supported Tang Jingcheng's buttocks with both hands and lifted them up.

"it is good…"

……

On the car back, Tang Jingcheng slept peacefully in the co-pilot with his eyes closed, as if he was extremely tired.

After running so many places in one morning, I could fall asleep almost taking up the chair.

Guan Lue didn't wake her up, turned on the air conditioner, took off his shirt and covered her.

The car was driving on the suburban road at a constant speed, and the sun began to slant to the west, and it took more than an hour to reach the Guanzhai.

Guan Lue parked the car on the ginkgo road in front of the house...

Tang Jingcheng had a very long dream in a daze. In the dream, there was Tang Ji, Qiu Qiguan, and the scene where she met Qiu Yueyi for the first time as Qiu Qiguan's girlfriend.

The old lady's complexion was not good-looking, but she did everything she needed to do. She personally made tea for Tang Jingcheng, which was her favorite drink, Pu'er, and gave her a gift, which was a good-looking bracelet. But she also spoke clearly.

"Qiguan likes you, but it doesn't mean I can accept you. I don't like you, you won't have good results together!"

Later, after Qiu Qiguan passed away, Tang Jingcheng occasionally thought of what the old lady said at that time, and couldn't help but sigh that she really had piercing eyes, those eyes specially used to identify good things, one could tell at a glance that Tang Jingcheng was not a good guy.

What are the facts?

The facts turned out as she expected, Tang Jingcheng tricked Qiu Qiguan so badly that until now Tang Jingcheng didn't have the courage to tell Qiu Yueyi the truth about her son's car accident that year.

Or maybe she will never speak in this life, it's rare for her to be coaxed like this once.

"hiss--"

Tang Jingcheng felt a tightening on her fingers in her sleep, and woke up suddenly. Guan Luezheng leaned half her body in front of her, pinching the fingers of her left hand.

"What are you doing sneakily?" She withdrew her hand and turned to look out the window.

"Where have you been?"

There are patches of shade outside the window.

In May, the leaves of the ginkgo biloba had turned green, and the sunlight came in through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and the car was parked on the side of the road.

"Are you at the gate of the house?"

Tang Jingcheng recognized these ginkgo trees, they were the ones in front of Guan Zhai, why did Guan Lue park his car here?
"not going back?"

"You just fell asleep."

"Oh, sorry, long sleep?"

"More than two hours!"

"..."

She slept almost all the way, so she didn't stop for lunch on the way.

Tang Jingcheng licked his lower lips shamelessly: "Then you can wake me up." Stretching while speaking, the shirt covering his body slipped down.

The leaves rustle outside the window.

She lazily leaned on the back of the chair: "Go back, I'm a little hungry."

As a result, when he raised his hand, something in front of him blinked his eyes...
