Chapter 43: Misfortunes never come singly

Views:

As soon as she went out, she ran into Wen Yu rushing over. Xu Shiqi felt a little dizzy and her head was pounding. Her body wanted to leave here quickly, but her mind was locked on the girl beside her, making it difficult for her to move.

The girl named Mengmeng who sat in the back of the car that day came with Wen Yu. She was wearing a pink coat, which made her look even more delicate and lovely.

"What's going on?" Wen Yu shouted at Wen Jialuo breathlessly, reaching out to push the door. But before he pushed the door open, he looked back in surprise.

Wen Jialuo did not answer him. Not only that, he looked at him with a strange look, as if he wanted to laugh, but the corners of his mouth twitched and he did not laugh.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wen Yu asked in confusion.

"Have you driven over?" Wen Jialuo was too lazy to say anything and just stretched out his hand towards him.

Wen Yu threw the car keys into her hands tacitly: "My car was borrowed by someone, so I got a broken car and drove here temporarily. It's right in front of the hospital." As he spoke, he walked into the door. Meng Meng, who was following behind, didn't even have time to say a word to Wen Jialuo before she heard him calling grandma. She hurriedly nodded at them and followed him in.

Wen Jialuo weighed the car keys and struggled to imagine what her grandmother's expression would be when she saw him. She couldn't care less for the moment and just held the hand of the woman next to her tightly.

Xu Shiqi struggled for a while, but failed to break free, so he had to let her go. The two did not speak and quickly left the hospital.

The car was easily found. It was Wen Yu's style, parked in a mess in the middle of the road. Although it looked like it hadn't been washed for ten years, it still had a domineering aura as it lay there.

The car is always a small, sealed space, quiet and safe. As soon as Xu Shiqi sat down, he asked, "What's going on?"

It was exactly the same question as Wen Yu's, but the meaning was completely different. Wen Jialuo first lay on the steering wheel in a daze for a while, then he let out a breath and started the car.

The car puffed as it moved on the road, like an old cow panting, breaking the tranquility in the car.

Xu Shiqi's questions had been pushed into her throat. She no longer cared about the street scene outside, nor could she enjoy the world of two people in the car after a short separation. This seemed to be the first time she discovered that Wen Jialuo was actually a persistent person. No matter what he wanted to do, he would go all the way. But it shouldn't be like this. She hadn't figured out how to face her family and Baohua. They hadn't even started to enjoy the cohabitation they had agreed to live together. Was a family storm about to blow up

The car was not driving fast, and the smell of the air conditioner in the car was uncomfortable. All these contributed to Xu Shiqi's irritability. The anxiety she had just felt sitting outside the ward seemed to ferment and made her uncomfortable. Seeing that the car was not going back to her home, nor to the old house, it seemed that the girl wanted to find a place to talk in detail. She randomly guessed what the girl was going to say later, and couldn't help but interrupt her: "Did you say anything to grandma?"

The car was caught in the flow of traffic. Wen Jialuo changed gears and glanced at her: "You only said half of it."

"Half?" Xu Shiqi frowned. "What half?"

"My grandma asked me if I had someone I liked, and I said yes. She also said it didn't matter who it was, so I said it." In fact, if you weren't there, you wouldn't know how tempted Wen Jialuo was at the time. You have to choose the right time, but sometimes you just happen to hit it by accident. It's just that she was unlucky and didn't hit it right.

It seems that although it was said, her name was obviously not said. Xu Shiqi was silent for a while, imagining the conversation between the two of them. The old lady seemed gentle, but she also knew that the other party had a tough side. The children of the Wen family seemed to have grown up in her hands, and she was very strict. Among the children, the old lady frankly doted on Wen Jialuo more, and facing the current Wen Jialuo, it was not surprising to indulge her a little.

But the old lady said that anyone could do it, which surprised Xu Shiqi. From what the old lady said, she must have some considerations in her mind, which is why she said it so confidently. But it seemed that before Wen Jialuo said it, the old lady had already figured it out, but she was in trouble immediately.

"Who did she guess?"

Wen Jialuo exhaled: "Someone you can't even imagine."

Xu Shiqi thought for a moment and said, "That depends on what you said."

"It's against ethics, I can't have children, and I can't be honest." Wen Jialuo summed it up and thought to himself, "It sounds weird, but I don't think it's that serious..."

"That's you," Xu Shiqi glared at her, "We have to think from their perspective, it would be strange if the old lady's blood pressure didn't rise after hearing this." She raised her head and thought for a moment, but to no avail, "Who can she guess?"

Wen Jialuo twitched the corner of his mouth: "Wen Yu."

"Ah?" Xu Shiqi was stunned, then burst out laughing, "Haha, the old lady is thinking too far ahead."

"You're still laughing." Wen Jialuo also glared at her.

"No wonder you saw Wen Yu's expression so strange just now." Xu Shiqi nodded, sighed, and blamed her, "That was on the plane. How could you provoke her like this?"

Wen Jialuo frowned, and her expression was exactly the same as the old man's: "I didn't want to say it, I really didn't think about it at all. But grandma kept persuading me, I almost thought she saw something."

"Will it?" Xu Shiqi suddenly became nervous, "We... haven't been together for a few days yet, what will be discovered?"

"You said we haven't been together for a few days, how could it be seen?" Wen Jialuo said lightly. Xu Shiqi was nervous, as if they had really made a terrible mistake, but she knew that the woman had always been accompanied by this emotion since she fell in love with her. And the reason why she didn't tell anyone was because she was afraid of hurting her family, but that didn't mean denying herself. Wen Jialuo might have denied herself a long time ago, but not now.

Xu Shiqi heard her dissatisfaction, paused, and asked: "Then... what should we do now?"

"Grandma asked me again, but I didn't say anything this time." Wen Jialuo stepped on the accelerator and watched the scenery quickly recede. The depression in his heart was slightly relieved. "I... dare not say anything. Although she said that anything is allowed, it will become impossible at that time. If she really fainted, I dare not imagine..."

"Besides grandma, Baohua just had a miscarriage, so she shouldn't be stimulated any more. And this matter will be linked to her anyway, so we can't talk about it now."

Wen Jialuo turned around and saw Xu Shiqi with a calm face. She seemed to be talking about someone else's family, and her analysis was logical, unlike herself who was shaken in front of her grandmother: "How are your parents' health?"

"My mom is fine," Xu Shiqi's face suddenly turned ugly, "My dad... seems to have high blood pressure too..."

"That means," Wen Jialuo curled his lips, "we can't talk about our affairs. No one on either side can stand it."

Xu Shiqi pursed his lips.

"Why is it so difficult?" Wen Jialuo smiled, "Otherwise we will never talk about it."

Xu Shiqi's heartbeat quickened as she looked at the girl. There was a hint of coldness in the girl's smile, not the indifference of a sulky temper.

"If we don't tell them, no one will know what our relationship is. On the surface, we are both still single, so let's wait for blind dates. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, we may not be able to escape. I have used this excuse for several years and it is almost worn out. Otherwise, my grandma wouldn't ask me about it until the plane." She shrugged, "If you don't want to be forced to go on blind dates and get married, then why don't we fly away and get out of their sight forever, so that they can't find us anymore and no one can disturb us. Is that okay?"

Xu Shiqi felt very bitter. If it weren't for the incident with her grandmother, they could have discussed whether to confess their relationship to their family and how to confess, just like they did in the villa. But the incident with her grandmother was a trigger, and she obviously shouldn't touch it again, but she knew that the same outcome would happen if she delayed any further, unless, as the girl said, she ran away.

"If that's the case, then there will really be only the two of us forever." Wen Jialuo said softly, "Without parents and brothers, do you think the two of us will still be lonely?"

Xu Shiqi leaned against the chair in despair, his eyes slightly red: "... Stop talking."

"Why not?" Wen Jialuo had already passed four cars in a row. Although the car was old, it felt very easy to drive, so loose that people wanted to ravage it even more. She stepped on the accelerator as if to vent her anger, and reached out to grab Xu Shiqi, "How about this speed? No matter where it goes, it's over. It's never coming back. I don't care about anything."

"Jia Luo." Xu Shiqi held her hand and pushed it away. "Drive carefully."

"Do you feel like you're on the run?" Wen Jialuo turned a corner neatly without slowing down at all. One could almost hear the unpleasant sound of the tires rubbing against the ground.

Xu Shiqi felt a little dizzy, as if he had really boarded a time machine. It seemed that where he was going now really didn't matter. It would be best if he could reach a perfect world. Men and women were not the main point. Love was the only criterion for choosing a partner.

Xu Shiqi thought it was ridiculous to think like this, so she laughed. She and the girl had just started, but she was already so tired. It's not that she was not mentally prepared, but why was she suppressed like this by the outside world, or maybe, she was actually putting pressure on herself. Thinking of the old lady's wisdom, Xu Shiqi couldn't help but murmured: "She can even think of brother-sister incest, do you think... will she be more likely to accept same-sex love?"

Wen Jialuo was also distracted for a moment, as if her grandmother was still reciting in front of her. Those encouraging words were like a tight hoop, making her head ache.

"No matter how hard you think about it, it's still a relationship between a man and a woman," Xu Shiqi stared out the window in a daze, "She would rather think of it as brother-sister incest..."

The more she talked, the more desperate she became. Wen Jialuo originally wanted to find a place to sit down. In fact, she did bring back a willow branch. The person who took her to pick the willow branch said that although it was not spring yet, it would still survive if it was stuck in the soil and waited for spring. She felt that this was too exaggerated. Willow branches were something that was strengthened by the ancients. The parting gift was a token of infinite affection, which seemed to refer to more friendship. Grandma knew that the willow branch she put in the rosewood jewelry box she had specially bought was for Xu Shiqi, and she laughed at the time that the relationship between them was even better than that between Xu Shiqi and Baohua.

Maybe that was the right time. This feeling was not the same as that one. The willow tree was not important. What was important was the person who received the gift. Unfortunately, grandma smiled too brightly at that time, and she looked like a young woman with white hair. She couldn't speak at all.

She knew that grandma also liked Xu Shiqi, so grandma carefully prepared many gifts for everyone, including one for Xu Shiqi, which was a good teapot. Grandma said that her throat needed good tea and water, so a good teapot was a must.

But before she could take out any gifts, she was disrupted by the accident on the plane. She originally wanted to kidnap Xu Shiqi as soon as she came back. Anyway, she was about to go to work, and no matter what kind of job that woman wanted to find, she would not let her leave her side. Her house over there was fine for one person, but it seemed a bit small for two people. Should she move to a new house, what kind of environment Xu Shiqi liked, what kind of curtains and tableware she wanted to buy, these details Tianwen Jialuo couldn't help but think about whenever she saw them.

But now, the willow branch is still in the box, and the box has been taken home. The joy is gone, and I am shocked and ate a lot.

As for the teapot, no one knew what Xu Shiqi would feel when he took it in his hands.

If she... hadn't gone to read to grandma before bed, maybe she would have been more open. Wen Jialuo bit her lower lip hard as she thought about it. Look at what she was thinking. Could it be that if she was willing to do this, she could ignore grandma's health

Wen Jialuo held the steering wheel, her eyes and heart were blank. She had decided to move forward. When she held Xu Shiqi's hand on the street that day, she had the courage to be invincible. Unfortunately, the first hurdle was not smooth...

The driver was worried, but the passengers were silent. Wen Jialuo turned around and saw Xu Shiqi's eyes slightly closed, with a frown on his face. She felt sad, remembering when she first met this woman, she was lonely but still stayed at the city gate, smiling calmly.

In fact, she was the one who led the woman to jump down step by step...

Wen Jialuo reached out and grasped the pair of hands that were clasped together and seemed unlikely to let go.

"What's wrong?" Xu Shiqi's voice was a little low and cautious, unlike her usual gentle voice.

This voice seemed to be evidence. Wen Jialuo held her fingers together and asked, "Will you regret it?"

Xu Shiqi turned her head. She didn't know where the girl was going to drive the car, but she felt a little dizzy sitting there. She didn't even dare to look out the window. The speed of the car made her heart tremble. But she was afraid of disturbing the girl, so she didn't dare to say anything. She could only let the girl go, hoping that she could gradually calm down. In fact, it didn't matter. As long as she was sitting with this person, at this moment, even if she was really desperate, it wouldn't be a big deal.

There were only a few seconds between the girl and her question, but Xu Shiqi instinctively delayed her reaction, as if she was on a roller coaster. The girl's hand felt like it was on fire, and she was about to speak, but it was too late.

Wen Jialuo, who was unwilling to wait even for a few seconds, didn't hear the answer, and her heart ached. She turned around suddenly, her eyes red: "Even if you regret it, I won't let you go!"

Wen Jialuo, who always drove very orderly, was distracted today and was not suitable for driving. The car had driven out of the city without a destination. It did not get on the highway, but somehow drove on a narrow road. There were houses on the roadside, and neat buildings were on both sides of the road. This was not a problem, but the words that did not sound like a poisonous oath were too harsh, and she could not help but use force. Xu Shiqi felt that her hand was pinched tightly at that moment, and then her whole body tilted uncontrollably with the car body, watching the houses on the roadside approaching and seemed to be infinitely enlarged.

She couldn't even make a sound, her mind went blank, and then she closed her eyes tightly.

Therefore, Xu Shiqi did not see what happened next.

When Wen Jialuo found out, she only had time to let go of Xu Shiqi's hand and suddenly turned the steering wheel. Unfortunately, even if she tried to save the car, it was already out of control and directly hit an oncoming pickup truck...

The agitated beast stopped only after the ruts on the road became alarmingly twisted.

It doesn't even have an airbag. This is really a broken car. This thought flashed through her mind, and she almost vomited when her chest was hit. Wen Jialuo turned her head with great effort, and her vision began to darken. She couldn't even see Xu Shiqi's figure clearly. She was only vaguely dazzled by something bright, and then she knew nothing...
