He was timid.
Since meeting Shi Xiaonian, he seems to have become more and more understanding of what fear is.
He was afraid that when he went in, he saw Mu Qianchu and Shi Xiaonian walking out arm in arm.
He was even more afraid that he wouldn't be able to face Shi Xiaonian.
How was he going to face Shi Xiaonian
"My daughter has been imprisoned by your palace family for half a year. She was so worried about the news of your engagement that she gave birth ahead of schedule. After the birth, her body was completely weak. She also thought too much about her son. When the situation was at its worst, she had a high fever and could not even stand. Unstable. I always keep this account in mind!"
"If Qianchu hadn't taken the risk and went to England to rescue my daughter, I'm afraid she would have been tortured to death by your Gong family, right?"
“…”
Xi Mu's words were still echoing in his ears.
No wonder when he was in the UK, he heard something about early delivery. It turned out to be because he was engaged and he was anxious.
He was engaged to another woman for her, and she gave birth early because of him.
When she was in pain and despair, it was Mu Qianchu who rescued her.
When she was weak, Mu Qianchu stayed with her.
So what did he do right
No.
Now that I think about it, there is none.
He couldn't accept what happened to Xi Yu at first, so he forced her to break up. He didn't believe her or that the child was his. He didn't realize it until she was imprisoned by the Gong family.
He thought he was doing it all for her, but in the end, he hurt her so much.
She actually kept it secret and didn't say a word.
He hadn't taken care of her a day, not a day.
He still acted like he was doing everything right in front of her, that he did everything for her, that she should come back to him, and that she deserved him. She must think he was particularly ridiculous.
There is no one more ridiculous than him.
What qualifications does he have to question her now, and what shame does he have to see her.
Everything she has now is because of him.
Only now did Gong Ou understand how deep and heavy Shi Xiaonian's hatred for him was in her heart when she had the car accident.
She really wanted to hold him and die together because he had ruined her too much.
Gong Ou sat on the bench, slowly leaned down, as if there was a thousand pounds of weight on his back, and held his head with both hands.
"Miyao, what on earth did you do?"
The rain washed his handsome face, crossed his trembling thin lips, and trickled down the length of his chin.
He was alone in the heavy rain.
So lonely.
So lonely.
The gauze on his hand was soaked through, and the blood from the wound seeped out, and the thinned blood flowed down.
Gong Ou reached out and took out his phone from his pocket, turned on the screen, and watched the water dripping on the screen. He reached out and wiped away the water on it.
A prompt popped up, it was entertainment news—
Shi Xiaonian's new work "Sea Tower" has been released online, let's take a sneak peek.
His little thought also made the news.
In the rain, Gong Ou wiped off the water droplets on the screen of his mobile phone again and again, and read out the comic content. The brush strokes on the first page were extremely dark.
The gray sea, black rocks, and white towers leave no hope at all.
On the first page, the heroine fell into the gray ocean, but could not make a splash. The sea was calm and calm, and no one could be seen swallowed up.
There is a line on it, "Have you ever tried the feeling of falling into water and almost drowning, but no one rescued you, or even heard your cry for help?"
The suffocating sensation of falling into water.
Gong Ou stared at the comics on the phone screen, watching the rain falling on it one by one, blurring the picture.
It rained heavily this night.
Shi Xiaonian was sitting alone on the bed, with long hair hanging on her shoulders, and a pair of black and white eyes, very clear, and flowing with sadness.
She raised her hand and moved her ring finger.
There was nothing on it, as if nothing had ever existed.
For some reason, Shi Xiaonian suddenly remembered the period after she confessed her feelings to Gong Ou. At that time, she was able to love Gong Ou with all her heart, no matter what, firm and brave.
Now that I think about it, I was really happy during that time.
Even though there will always be small problems like this between them, they will never look back in such a state of mind.
In fact, the more people understand, the more scruples they have.
Being strong is sometimes just an illusion.
Shi Xiaonian looked at her empty ring finger and smiled bitterly.
Suddenly, the mobile phone placed on the quilt vibrated.
Shi Xiaonian picked up the phone and saw a message from Gong Ou—
Xiao Nian, I know I was wrong.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian stared at the line of words blankly, her eyes dull, and she repeatedly identified the number until she confirmed that it was from Gong Ou, and tears suddenly fell down without warning.
He actually sent her such a message.
Like a child admitting his mistake.
Why
Why did he suddenly admit his mistake? He never felt that he was wrong.
When Xiao Nian closed her eyes, tears streaked down her cheeks. She stretched out her hand to touch her face, but she couldn't stop the tears.
No more sleepiness.
Shi Xiaonian put her phone back there, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, walked to the window and looked out.
She didn't let herself think too much.
There was no light on in the bedroom, but she could see everything clearly outside the window. The majestic heavy rain fell, baptizing the whole world crazily.
The community in Tianzhigang is quiet and peaceful in the rain.
She opened the window and looked down through the heavy rain, watching the heavy rain rushing into the fountain pool. There seemed to be a figure there beside the fountain pool.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian lived on the 8th floor, and it was impossible to see clearly from this height.
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and an idea jumped into her heart, making her tremble with fear.
No, it's impossible.
Shi Xiaonian rushed to the bed, picked up the phone and looked at the message, biting her lips tightly, no, it couldn't be him.
But what if it is.
The injury on his forehead has not healed yet.
After looking at the line of words on the phone screen for a few seconds, Shi Xiaonian thought about it, then turned around and ran out. She ran out of the house, picked up an umbrella and rushed into the elevator.
Running out of Building C, Shi Xiaonian opened an umbrella under the eaves and looked out.
In front of the fountain in the distance, a tall figure sat on a bench, leaning forward, soaked in the rain.
The rain curtain separated the distance, and that figure was not Gong Ou, but who else.
He was dying, it was just a few days after the car accident, and he was sitting here in the rain.
Send a text message telling her that he knew he was wrong, and then get caught in the rain like a fool. What is this, self-punishment
“…”
I don't know why, but looking at the motionless figure in the rain, Shi Xiaonian stood there, and the last bit of resentment towards Gong Ou in her heart disappeared completely.
fool.
No one apologizes like this, no one knows it's wrong.
She stood under the eaves and opened her umbrella. Just as she was about to walk forward, a ray of light flashed into the night rain and fog.
I saw a smaller sports car parked in front of the fountain, the door was pushed open, Mona stepped out of the car holding a yellow umbrella, walked step by step in front of Gong Ou, covered the umbrella above Gong Ou's head, and held it with one hand He caressed Gong Ou's face and wiped away the rain for him.
So intimate, so warm.
Gong Ou was still sitting still, leaning forward, with a little light on his hand.
It should be a mobile phone.
Seeing this, Mona pushed the umbrella closer to Gong Ou, and half of her body soon became wet.
The yellow color of the umbrella becomes a touch of warmth at night.
It’s a scene that people dare not destroy.
Shi Xiaonian held on to the umbrella and stepped back step by step until she was behind the pillar. She put away the umbrella and looked over there.
Far away, Shi Xiaonian looked at Mona holding an umbrella and saying something.
Gong Ou's body moved slightly.
After a while, Feng De and several bodyguards also arrived. They all walked out of the car holding umbrellas. Feng De took a coat and put it on Gong Ou's back.
There was some chaos at the scene.
The sound of rain drowned out all sounds.
I don't know how long it took, but Shi Xiaonian saw Gong Ou being helped up from the bench by Feng De and others. Gong Ou lowered his head and seemed to be in a bad state.
They're coming this way.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but shrink inward, not looking over there.
The footsteps of a group of people gradually approached her, and Shi Xiaonian heard their voices -
"Master, does your head still hurt? The wound on your head has only been stitched for a few days. You should not be exposed to the rain, otherwise it will leave the root cause of headaches in the future."
"Butler Feng, please stop talking. Gong Ou needs to be quiet now."
"Then let's talk about it when we get back and open the door."
Shi Xiaonian slowly poked her head out from behind the pillar and looked out. A group of people gathered in front of a car closer to her. Gong Ou stood among them, with several umbrellas surrounding him at the same time.
From this distance, Shi Xiaonian could clearly see Gong Ou's appearance.
He stood there, his body under the coat was soaked, and the gauze wrapped his hands with blood mixed with water and dripping down. Gong Ou's face was pale, bloodless, and lifeless, and his eyes were not as lively as before, with a pair of eyes half drooped. , there were still raindrops on her eyelashes, as if they were tears, and her thin lips moved.
Why was his hand injured like that
"Master, what did you say?" Feng De asked nervously, his face still full of confusion after listening carefully, "Master, what is wrong, what do you want to say?"
Gong Ou ignored him and sat in the car, as if he had fallen in.
“…”
Shi Xiaonian looked at him, tears in her eyes, and her eyes turned red.
He was saying he was wrong.
He knew he was wrong.
Shi Xiaonian's heart was filled with pain, which could not be gone away or wiped away.
Mong Ou, you are right, no one is perfect, they could not have expected that this would happen, they could not have expected that they would be in such a situation today.
A group of people got into the car, and the cars and sports cars left one after another.
Shi Xiaonian watched the vehicle go away. She wanted to leave but couldn't move a single step. She stood leaning against a pillar. Only then did she realize that when she peeked just now, half of her body was exposed outside the eaves and it was already soaked.
Half warm, half cold.
It turns out that the feeling of not being able to love is far more painful than hating someone.
Shi Xiaonian leaned limply against the pillar and slowly closed her eyes.
Miyao, I don’t blame you, and I will never blame you again.
Please live well.
Please get better.
"Tap, step."
The sound of high heels hitting the rain came slowly from far to near. (To be continued)
