Lin Xian looked back at his lover who had red and swollen cheeks and was so embarrassed that he looked like a leaf in the wind. He gritted his teeth and insisted, "I won't leave."
She supported Zhou Qin, who seemed to be dizzy and weak, with tears in the corners of her eyes and worry in her eyes, but she still refused to let go, and tried her best to calm down: "Mom, the matter has come to an end, and I can't solve it even if I go back with you." What's the problem. Calm down, the three of us sit down and have a good communication."
"How do you make me calm down! Lin Xian! You let me down so much." Zhou Qin roared. She shook off Lin Xian's hand, and swayed again uncontrollably. I don’t know if it’s because she hasn’t had enough sleep in the past few days, she stayed up all night yesterday, didn’t drink a drop of water for more than ten hours, is too tired or has low blood sugar, so that she feels that her whole head is heavy and her body is weak .
She looked at her daughter and friend who seemed to be unyielding and unyielding in front of her with red eyes, and suddenly laughed softly as if mocking herself, the more she laughed, the more miserable she became. "Forget it, forget it, I can't control it anymore, can I? Lin Xian, just treat it as if I have raised you for nothing for more than ten years. In the future, you can do it yourself." Her face was full of tears regardless of manners, and she staggered desperately Turn around and decide to leave.
Both Xiao Wanqing and Lin Xian could hear the meaning of Zhou Qin's words clearly.
Lin Xian stood behind Zhou Qin, staring at his mother's figure, clenched his fists tightly, tears streaming down his face. She opened her mouth to be sad and wanted to keep her mother, and stretched out her hand to stop her from saying such cruel words, but in the end, her throat throbbed, and she cried out until she was out of breath, and she only choked up and called out "Mom" silently. The hand she stretched out did not touch Zhou Qin, but she slowly withdrew it.
She believed that what her mother said now must be angry words, blood is thicker than water, calm down, they can still get forgiveness after all. Although her mother was strict, Lin Xian knew her love and pampering for him since she was a child, and she cherished it in her heart.
Also because of this, she looked at Zhou Qin who had never been in such a collapsed state, her heart seemed to be pricked with needles, and she was almost out of breath with self-blame and guilt.
But Xiao Panpan was hurt by being abandoned once, how could she be willing to let her be the one who was abandoned again when she made such a choice.
Zhou Qin's current physical condition seems to be not very good, Lin Xian is worried that she will go back alone like this. She sobbed and opened her mouth to tell Zhou Qin who had already walked to the door of the room, wait a minute, she asked her father to come pick her up.
But before she could speak, Xiao Wanqing took her hand.
Lin Xian lowered her head, and saw her beloved kneeling behind her, looking up at her, with some crystal tears flickering in her moist eyes, and a gentle smile bloomed on her lips.
The tears that Lin Xian held back fell down again. She raised her hands, gently held Xiao Wanqing's injured cheeks, wiped her tears with her thumbs, and said with trembling lips: "I'm sorry, Xiao Panpan, I didn't protect you well. I didn't do it, sorry… "
Xiao Wanqing sniffled her nose, pulled herself together to hold back her crying, and shook her head to comfort her: "No, Xianxian." She stretched out her hand and hugged Lin Xian slowly, as if embracing a treasure she was about to lose Nostalgia and cherish. She pressed the uninjured cheek to Lin Xian's heart, listening to her lover's heartbeat beating for her, tears gradually wet Lin Xian's skirt. She murmured softly: "It's alright, Lin Xian. Thank you for being so firm, thank you for loving me so much, thank you for letting me know that I didn't make a wrong choice."
Lin Xian hugged her back, tears dripping down her hair. She thought, I'm sorry, I'm sorry mom, she really can't, can't let her go.
But Xiao Wanqing raised her head slowly and let her go, with gentle and considerate eyes, she insisted: "Xianxian, let's send your mother back first."
Lin Xian looked down at Xiao Wanqing, her expression was filled with pain and struggle, and in the end, she turned her head away and said in a hoarse voice: "Forget it, Panpan."
She said: "Panpan, maybe after this step of compromise, there will be step by step compromise. We can't retreat."
Xiao Wanqing stared at her young and determined lover with watery eyes. She shook her head and said softly in a hoarse voice: "Xianxian, our parents are not our enemies. Compromise is not surrender, it is an expression of mutual love. Love and understanding are mutual, and maybe this seesaw will take longer , but time will resolve everything after all, we don't want to be brave for a while." She looked at the persistent Lin Xian, just like seeing herself who had no hesitation back then, she was distressed, warm, and afraid.
There are so many things in life that you never expect. It's like, how could she have thought back then that when she dragged her luggage and left home that day, the moment she turned around, it was really a farewell.
As if the past reappeared, she listened to Zhou Qin's decisive words and saw Lin Xian's stubborn persistence for her, her heart trembled.
She closed her eyes slightly, and promised earnestly: "Xianxian, I'm fine, don't worry about me. You can send your mother back today first. Don't be afraid, I will pick you up when we calm down a little .”
Lin Xian bit her lip, looked at her with red eye circles, and did not speak.
"Xianxian, if something happens to your mother today, I will never feel at ease in my life, and you are also afraid, aren't you?" Xiao Wanqing said sadly. "Xianxian, promise me, relax a bit, and communicate with them well."
Lin Xian's throat twitched, and his fists gradually clenched.
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Wanqing showed a big smile, kissed Lin Xian on the lips, got out of bed, picked up the woolen coat next to the bed, put it on Lin Xian, and took her hand to lead her out.
Lin Xian still stood where he was, with tears in his big eyes, looking at her, motionless.
Sending her lover away with her own hands to an unknown future, Xiao Wanqing's heart seemed to be torn into pieces, dripping with blood. However, how could she allow herself to possess selfishly, how could she be so cruel that Lin Xian might regret it.
She couldn't help herself, and there was a faint cry in her voice, but she still begged firmly: "Xianxian, please, don't have such regrets as me. Otherwise, I will never forgive myself."
"Xiao Panpan..." Lin Xian called her with a heavy nasal voice.
"Let's go." Xiao Wanqing clenched one hand into a fist, pulled Lin Xian's hand hard with the other, and coaxed her: "Lin Xian, I believe you can give me a blessed love, don't you believe it too? So let's fight for it." Bar."
Lin Xian stubbornly stood in a stalemate with Xiao Wanqing for a moment, saw the determination in Xiao Wanqing's eyes, finally seemed to have made up his mind, wiped away the tears all over his face, strode in front of Xiao Wanqing, and hugged Xiao Wanqing tightly In her arms, she promised in her ear: "I believe, and you must always believe in me. Xiao Panpan, I will never shrink back, and you will never, promise me. Remember to apply ice cubes on your face, and put it on your face. Don't be so stupid again."
The ear close to Lin Xian whispering was the ear that had been slapped twice, and it was still ringing, Xiao Wanqing actually didn't hear what Lin Xian was saying clearly. She just gently rubbed her cheeks instinctively, and nodded slightly in Lin Xian's expectation.
She sent Lin Xian out, and when Lin Xian promised her "wait for me to come back", she waved with a smile.
Lin Xian looked back three times at a step, but the figure gradually disappeared from Xiao Wanqing's sight after all. The light in Xiao Wanqing's eyes gradually dimmed as the girl walked away. She looked at the empty aisle and stood there for a long time, but suddenly she seemed to be unable to hold on anymore, her body softened and she fell to her knees on the ground. Grievance, despair, guilt, fear, humiliation, and mixed feelings filled her battered heart. Xiao Wanqing lowered her head, wrapped her arms around herself, and burst into tears.
Every year has today, every year has today.
Obviously they were still laughing and playing last night, and they were still planning for the future, as if they only needed one step at a time, and happiness was right in front of them, within easy reach. But overnight, the world is turned upside down, and all expectations and dreams seem to be in vain.
Is it fate? Or is it her greedy punishment? It is destined that in her life, happiness always seems to be only one step away from her, but it is also out of reach
In Shi's mansion, Shiman woke up from his lethargy with a splitting headache. She was at a loss for a moment, and then suddenly turned sideways to look at the seat beside her.
What about Zhijin? !
Her memory after being drunk is very fragmentary, but she still vaguely remembers that Zhijin came back, and then they seemed to quarrel? And after that... she didn't remember anything after that.
She sat up and saw the suitcase by the door, making sure that it was not a dream and her memory was correct. But there was no trace of Zhijin sleeping beside the bed...
Shi Man didn't care about putting on his nightgown and cotton slippers, jumped out of bed and ran out of the bedroom, calling Xia Zhijin's name softly while running. But she ran from the second floor to the first floor, searching from room to room, but there was no sign of Xia Zhijin anywhere.
Shi Man suddenly panicked. Is it because I was drunk yesterday and said something that shouldn't be said
She hurriedly trotted all the way back to her room to get her phone. Touching the phone and looking at the screen that couldn't be woken up, she remembered angrily that her phone was out of battery a long time ago. She quickly connected the phone to the charger and turned it on, and ran downstairs again to call Xia Zhijin on the landline.
As soon as she went down the stairs, the door was pushed open from the outside. Hearing his voice first, but not seeing him, Shiman subconsciously called out expectantly: "Zhijin!"
However, a faint female voice broke her fantasy and responded to her: "It's me." Shi Jinglan pushed the door and entered calmly with her bag in her hand.
Seeing that Shiman was wearing thin single clothes and barefoot, Shi Jinglan frowned and said in displeasure, "Why are you dressed like this?"
Shi sighed dejectedly, and did not hide her disappointment at all: "It's you." Half a second later, she almost gave up hope and asked Shi Jinglan without answering: "Mom, did you just come back? Do you have any questions?" Did you see Zhijin? She came back last night, but now there is no one there."
Shi Jinglan's expression was complicated for a moment, looking at Shi Man who knew nothing, a flash of distress flashed in his eyes. "Zhijin is in the hospital." Shi Jinglan replied flatly. "Her grandma had an accident, and the situation is not very good."
Shi Manxin thumped, and the circles of his eyes immediately turned red. Her voice turned into tears in an instant, and she asked eagerly, "What's the matter? What's the matter? When I went back to see grandma last time, she was still very healthy. Where are Zhiqi and Zhijin? Are they both in the hospital? Which hospital?" " Ai Wuji Wu, although Shi Man never said clearly about Xia Zhijin's relatives, he still regarded them as his own relatives in his heart. What's more, it hurts what she hurts, and when she thought of how panicked Xia Zhijin would be, her heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife.
"Sudden cerebral hemorrhage, in their county hospital, we have already contacted them, and they will be transferred to our city hospital when the situation is a little stable today or tomorrow." As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Man turned around and ran upstairs quickly.
Without thinking too much, Shi Jinglan could guess that Shiman must be going to change clothes and was about to rush over. She felt a little sad, because of Shiman's sincerity in this love, and also because of Xia Zhijin's unrewarding ambition.
Continuing to be trapped in their own dead ends like this consumes each other's feelings and enthusiasm, and sooner or later they will hate each other. Take a step back, experience and grow independently, perhaps, there are infinite possibilities in the future.
She didn't know if Shiman would blame herself when she knew that she had talked with Xia Zhijin many years later, but at least, at this moment, she thought that she was making the most suitable decision for them.
