the knife of love

Chapter 99 Tangtang, the most emotional voice

In the middle of the night, the Ninth Commander was closed.

Guan Lue was standing at the window smoking a cigarette, there was no one in the alley in front of the door, and the street lamp on the steps was particularly bright.

He still remembered the woman sitting on the steps on a rainy night.

He asked, "Why are you here?"

"I want to see you," she replied.

She was always so direct and aggressive, Guan Lue was biting a cigarette in the smoke, after all, they hadn't seen each other for two months.

"Brother Nine..."

"How about it?"

"I found out that the cemetery was indeed purchased by Qiu Qiguan before his death. The contract date was in the middle of last year, that is, Qiu Qiguan bought it about a month before his death."

Guan slightly curled up his lips and pinched his cigarette...

Su Yao's family got married, and Su Fan's stock soared all the way. Su Jue didn't attend the wedding banquet that night, so he found an excuse to stay in the company and work overtime.

He left the company at twelve o'clock in the morning and went back. As soon as he entered the apartment lobby, he saw the security guard on duty downstairs walking over with a sealed cardboard box.

"Mr. Su, did you just get off work?"

"Ah."

"I'm really busy at work." The security guard said a few words, and then handed him the box in his hand.

"what is this?"

"A girl brought it to you this morning."

"Girl? What does it look like?"

"Long hair, not tall, and thin." The security guard on duty recalled, "Oh, by the way, she seems to have come here to look for you a few times before, she should be your girlfriend."

Su Jue was stunned, and took the cardboard box, which was quite heavy.

"Thank you!"

He carried the cardboard box upstairs, found a knife and opened the box. The box was full of old newspapers, and the bottle of "water lotus" was lying in the middle of the newspapers.

For some reason, Su Jue was short of breath, but when he was about to take out the jade carving, his phone rang, and "Tangtang" was displayed on the screen.

This was the first time she took the initiative to contact him after the engagement banquet.

Su Jue had a bad feeling.

"Hey…"

"Brother Su..." The other party's voice was very low.

Su Jue stood at the door, calming down: "Why are you calling me now?" Tonight is their wedding banquet, so she should be with Su Zhan at this time.

There was no sound for a long time, Su Jue was a little worried.

"Tangtang..."

"...Call again."

"Tangtang, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother Su...call me again..."

Su Jue already realized that Yao Xiaotang's voice was not right, he took the car keys and opened the door to go out, waiting for the elevator gap, he kept asking: "Tangtang, tell me, where are you now?"

"Tangtang...Tangtang!!!"

The other party had lost their voice and the phone was hung up.

Su Jue ran downstairs in one breath, started the car and drove out of the community. When he called Yao Xiaotang back, there was no answer. He could only call Yao Haizheng, but Yao Haizheng was still dealing with guests in the hotel, and no one answered. Zhan beat, hit Su Zhan several times in a row before picking up.

"Hey...hey..."

"Where is Tangtang?"

"What the hell are you, Tangtangguo? Did you make a wrong call!" The background was noisy, and Su Zhan's voice clearly knew that he had drunk too much.

"Hello...Su Zhan..." When Su Jue spoke again, the phone had already been hung up.

At this time, Su Zhan was in Thyme's private room, embracing the girl, singing and dancing. That day was his and Yao Xiaotang's newlyweds, and it was supposed to be a wedding night in the bridal chamber, but when he came out of the hotel banquet hall, he went directly to Thyme with a group of friends.

Su Jue threw away his mobile phone and could only speed up the car and drive towards the hotel.

The hotel where Su Zhan and Yao Xiaotang held their wedding banquet was the one where they got engaged last time. When he rushed into the banquet hall, most of the guests were astigmatized, and Yao Xiaotang was nowhere to be found. In the end, the waiter told, "The bride has returned to the room two hours ago." rest."

"What room?"

"The honeymoon suite given by the hotel to the couple!"

……

That night, the Internet was full of photos of Su Zhan and Yao Xiaotang's wedding.

Tang Jingcheng was sitting naked in the bathtub with a cigarette in his mouth and a mobile phone in his hand. On the screen was a photo of Su Zhan and Yao Xiaotang standing side by side at the wedding banquet.

In the photo, Yao Xiaotang's face was pale and her figure was thin. Tang Jingcheng only felt that her heart was suffocating. She put the phone aside, and slowly submerged her body and head into the bottom of the water by climbing onto the edge of the bathtub.

He held his breath, his vision was blurred, and the piercing lights poured down, like circles of golden light on the water.

The cell phone rang.

Tang Jingcheng didn't answer at first, but the other party persisted.

She jumped out of the water, Su Jue called.

"Hey, come to No.1 civilian hospital!"

"what?"

"Tangtang wants to see you..."

Tang Jingcheng almost stumbled up from the bathtub, didn't even wipe off the water all over her body, ran back to the dressing room barefoot, fell on the road, and her knees rested on the ground, she got up and casually pulled up a skirt and put it on run outside...

When Tang Jingcheng ran to the hospital, the lights in the emergency room had gone out.

There were many people standing at the door, Su Hongzhi, Yao Haizheng, and Su Zhan who was still flushed from the wine...

"What's going on?" Tang Jingcheng asked tremblingly, but what she answered was the dead silence in the corridor.

Su Juedi ran out of the emergency room and glanced at Tang Jingcheng whose hair was still dripping.

"What's the matter? So many people came to the hospital in the middle of the night...it's fun..." She had tears in her eyes, but she wanted to ask with a smile.

Su Jue closed her eyes in pain: "Go in, she'll be waiting for you inside."

Tang Jingcheng took a deep breath, and glanced at Su Zhan who was huddled in the corner of the wall, not daring to speak.

It was really cold in the rescue room. The space was nearly [-] square meters, and there were rows of energy-saving fluorescent lamps shining brightly above the head. There were several beds scattered about in the room, and there was no one else. Yao Xiaotang was lying on one of the beds.

When Tang Jingcheng walked over, tears flowed all the way. The person on the bed was still conscious, but his face had turned blue, his lips were purple, and the oxygen tube was rubbed in his nose. Shouted: "Sister... sister..."

Tang Jingcheng covered his mouth with his hand all of a sudden, and it took a lot of effort to suppress his crying.

"How did it happen?"

Yao Xiaotang on the bed shook her head, she couldn't articulate a lot of words, so she turned her face away slightly.

"Sister...I...I have something...to say."

"Don't talk about it!" Tang Jingcheng didn't want to listen, "Do you know well? Save yourself some effort, and tell your sister when you are better."

"No..." Yao Xiaotang feebly grabbed Tang Jingcheng's arm: "I...don't talk...I'm afraid...there will be no chance in the future...I will talk..."

Tang Jingcheng finally broke down in tears and squatted on the edge of the bed.

Yao Xiaotang tried to raise her hand a few times, trying to wipe her tears, but she had no more strength left. She panted several times before saying, "Sister...sister...don't...don't cry...I'm not in pain."

These words can only make Tang Jingcheng feel more uncomfortable, she wiped away her tears indiscriminately: "Okay, sister don't cry, just tell me, sister listen."

Only then did Yao Xiaotang struggle to pull out a smile, looked into Tang Jingcheng's eyes, and suddenly said, "Sister...actually, I...know you a long time ago, Brother Su...Brother Su...has your...photograph..."

"What?" Tang Jingcheng didn't expect her to say this, "What photo?"

"A group photo...taken a long time ago, but I...know...he kept that photo...for you. Do you know why I insisted...for the water...hibiscus?" Yao Xiaotang struggled with every word say.

Tang Jingcheng's consciousness was a little confused, he shook his head indiscriminately: "I don't know."

"Because...Because Brother Su likes it! He ordered...that magazine...often...read it! That water lotus is on...that magazine...and your photo is on it..." Yao Xiaotang's words were really scattered, Tang Jing Cheng was no longer in the mood to get to the bottom of it.

What magazine?What picture?She doesn't care at all now.

"Tangtang, what exactly do you want to say?"

"I want to say... I want to say..." Yao Xiaotang coughed violently a few times, with a painful expression and sweat dripping from his forehead, "I want to say...Sister, do you still remember that I mentioned it to you before...Brother Su? The things I like...I like them all, that Furong...the restaurant that eats Yunnan cuisine...the ones I can't understand...abstract...paintings, and you..., sister...do you know?...Brother Su likes it the most It's actually you!"

That's why Yao Xiaotang called Tang Jingcheng affectionately when she saw Tang Jingcheng for the first time. During this time, she also expressed an unusual affection for Tang Jingcheng.

She blindly likes what Su Jue likes, hates people and things that Su Jue hates, and foolishly calls this feeling "love", never tired of it, forgetting about it.

Tang Jingcheng was speechless, how could she believe this?

Yao Xiaotang swallowed hard, gathering some strength.

"Sister, originally this was...a secret, and I planned to keep it secret for the rest of my life...but I don't think I will be able to accompany...Brother Su, so please...please sister...when I leave...you go and meet Brother Su...in Together... okay?"

Tang Jingcheng was crying until he collapsed on the ground, this silly girl!
"Sister...you promise...quick...promise me!" She tugged Tang Jingcheng's arm vigorously, as if she wanted to ask her for a guarantee, Tang Jingcheng could only cover his mouth and nod.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Only then was Yao Xiaotang satisfied, and she grinned, her pupils began to slack, and she waited for Tang Jingcheng with her last breath.

"Then sister, you go... call Brother Su, just him... accompany me... accompany me for a while, okay?"

……

Tang Jingcheng ran out of the emergency room with red eyes. There were still those same people in the corridor, but Yao Haizheng had already slumped on a chair because of his grief.

Su Jue stood closest to the door, and Tang Jingcheng glanced at him.

"She wants you in."

Yao Haizheng next to him heard that he rushed over first, but was stopped by Tang Jingcheng, holding back his crying: "Sorry, she only wants to see Su Jue alone!"

When Su Jue walked into the emergency room, Yao Xiaotang had already started to experience severe convulsions, and his consciousness gradually lost consciousness, but he could still recognize the man in front of the bed at a glance.

She almost used up her last bit of strength to laugh, her arms could no longer be lifted, and she could only move her fingers slightly.

"Brother Su..."

Su Jue squatted beside the bed, with grief in his eyes, but his face still had the usual cold expression, he was used to not showing his emotions or anger.

Yao Xiaotang greedily looked at the man in front of the bed.

"Brother Su, can you... hug... hug me again."

Su Jue closed her eyes: "Okay!" Then she bent down and wrapped her arms around her shoulders.

He could feel the person in his arms trembling violently, and an angry voice sounded beside his ears: "Brother Su...call me again...Tangtang..."

"Okay." He complied, holding Yao Xiaotang's cold hand, "Tangtang..."

Yao Xiaotang laughed: "It's really nice..."

It was the most emotional voice she had ever heard.

Tangtang...Tangtang...Tangtang... She likes to hear Su Jue yell these two words the most, and she once thought that she could love her forever.

At a private party about three years ago, Yao Zhenghai took her to attend and introduced to everyone: "This is my daughter Tangtang."

Everyone nodded flatteringly: "Yao Dong's daughter is so beautiful." Only one of the young men raised his wine glass forward and took the initiative to chat with her: "Your name is Tang Tang?"

That was the first time Yao Xiaotang saw Su Jue, she was nervous, palpitation, and almost blushed.

"Well, my name is Tangtang."

"Which tang? The Tang of the Tang Dynasty?"

"No, Begonia's Tang."

After a long time, Yao Xiaotang inadvertently found an old magazine in the drawer of Su Jue's office. It was an industry journal in the collection circle. On the cover was a young woman in a red dress sitting under the ginkgo tree in her studio for an exclusive interview.

Yao Xiaotang opened the magazine, and a photo slipped from the inside page. It was a group photo taken in a hospital ward several years ago. Several doctors and nurses hugged a young girl. The middle is particularly conspicuous.

Yao Xiaotang could tell at a glance that the girl in the photo was the one on the cover of the magazine, and she turned the photo over and wrote two words with a pen on the back corner - Tang Tang.

That's Su Jue's handwriting!
So from then on, when he called the word "Tangtang", he was very affectionate, but what was left around him was not what he thought in his heart.

Yao Xiaotang lay peacefully on the bed, pulled out the oxygen tube in his nose with the last bit of strength, and took a deep breath... the last breath of Su Jue's breath.

"Brother Su...call Tangtang again..."

"Tangtang..."

She laughed, and the water slipped from Su Jue's palm.

Su Jue frowned, and breathed on her chest, hearing a "ding" on the ground, the ring that Yao Xiaotang had grabbed all the way fell to the ground.

"Dididi—" With a piercing and short voice, the electrocardiogram began to jump up and down.

Outside, Yao Haizheng rushed into the emergency room when he heard the sound of the electrocardiogram.

"Doctor, doctor..." Yao Haizheng's hoarse voice echoed in the corridor.

Soon the doctor came, the nurse came, and Su Hongzhi and Su Zhan also entered the emergency room.

Shock defibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a group of people gathered around the bed trying to save this young life, Tang Jingcheng stood at the door all the time, hearing the chaotic voices of doctors and nurses inside.

"Spasm in the heart, no diastole."

"Ventilator!"

"First defibrillation! 300J"

"Severe shock, patient unresponsive."

"Increase, 500!"

"Still no response!"

"One last try, come again..."

"Di——" With a heavy and long sound, the curve on the electrocardiogram finally became flat...

"Tangtang!" Yao Haizheng yelled, and the chaotic voices in the emergency room seemed to suddenly quiet down.

Tang Jingcheng slumped to the ground along the edge of the wall.
