Cheng Lingran followed Jiang Xiu all the way to the riverside. The river beach road was especially quiet in the afternoon. The leaves on the roadside were swaying gently in the wind. The sunlight shone on them, giving them a faint sheen, adding a bit of warmth, but Jiang Xiu's back was so silent, so silent that it made people feel distressed.
When walking past the tree, a few green leaves left the shackles of the branches, fluttering in the breeze, and fell on Jiang Xiu's shoulders with a bit of desolation.
After watching him sit down on the river beach, Cheng Lingran came to his side and sat down.
Jiang Xiu said: "Don't trust me?"
Cheng Lingran shook his head and said, "No!" Her eyes were too clear to hide any emotion, "I'm sorry for Susu."
Jiang Xiu lowered his head and said nothing.
Cheng Lingran looked at the river in front of him and admired sincerely: "It's so beautiful here!"
Having lost his cultivation and becoming lame, Cheng Lingran didn't know how majestic Jiang Xiu was in the past, but now he was very decadent, like a puddle of mud, and he felt like he was dead.
Cheng Lingran also did a lot of work for him, but he was still the same. Now that Cheng Lingsu divorced him, she was really worried that Jiang Xiu wouldn't be able to bear it.
"Yeah?"
Jiang Xiu didn't raise his head to look at the beautiful river scenery at all. Cheng Lingran felt a dull pain in her heart. She knew that the world in Jiang Xiu's eyes was dark at this moment, and there was no color in everything. How could he see beauty.
"Xiao Xiu, please don't be like this, okay?" Cheng Lingran's voice was a little crying, "You are still so young, there are still many things waiting for you to do, and you still have a bright future."
"future?"
Jiang Xiu sneered, as if this was a great irony. He grabbed his leg and said, "I'm lame and disabled. I walked by just now. People on the roadside either looked at me strangely or hid to the side." , as if I am a monster, carrying germs, and will be infected if I get close."
"Xiao Xiu..."
She doesn't know what to say? It is difficult for anyone to accept that a good person has become a cripple. She also thought that if she were lame, she would be equally frustrated.
"No one dislikes you..."
When she said this, Cheng Lingran felt guilty. Didn't Susu leave him just because she disliked him? I'm afraid this will be counterproductive.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with sadness, and he slowly lowered his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Xiu like this, Cheng Lingran's heart ached.
Cheng Lingran's nature meant that who knew best in the world would not be her parents or her sister, but Jiang Xiu. Not to mention her childhood sweetheart, she was married to Jiang Xiu in her last life. With every look and movement, Jiang Xiu... Everyone knows what she is thinking. The most effective way to deal with Cheng Lingran is to be miserable. She is very sympathetic, especially towards Jiang Xiu.
"Don't be like this, okay?"
"Do you want to stay like this for the rest of your life?"
Jiang Xiu said: "There's nothing wrong with that." He hugged his head on his knees and buried his head inside, but his body was trembling there, like a wounded beast.
Cheng Lingran put her hand on his shoulder: "Don't get into trouble, Susu is a stinky girl, can we just ignore her? She has been like this since she was a child."
Jiang Xiu didn't raise his head, but said softly: "I'm fine!"
But his body couldn't stop trembling. Without trembling, Cheng Lingran could feel the pain with her hand on his shoulder, and his heart trembled accordingly.
"I know it's hard for you. How about you cry? It will make you feel better."
Jiang Xiu repeated: "I'm fine!"
"You go back, I want to be alone for a while."
How could Cheng Lingran dare? Jiang was right in front of her. If she ran in impulsively, the consequences would be disastrous. If something happened to Jiang Xiu, she would never forgive herself, and she would have no way to explain to her uncle and aunt.
"No, if you want to be quiet, you have to go back with me first."
Jiang Xiu thought of Cheng Lingran who came to comfort him in his last life. At that time, he was helpless and hated the Cheng family so much that he vented all his emotions on her. At that time, he roared like a wild beast, even almost He accidentally killed Cheng Lingran, "How about you go away? You and the Cheng family don't have to worry about my affairs. Cheng Lingsu and I are divorced and we have no relationship anymore."
Cheng Lingran was stunned when he heard this.
She couldn't believe that Jiang Xiu said this. In this world, besides his parents and sister, the most important person to him was Jiang Xiu. She knew that besides his parents, the most important person to Jiang Xiu was her. This feeling was Those who have been trained since childhood are irreplaceable, but now he actually said such words. The Cheng family has failed him too much, and Susu has hurt her too much.
In fact, even she couldn't stand it.
Jiang Xiu had only been back for a few days, and now they were divorced. Her distaste for poverty and love for wealth was clearly revealed. She never took responsibility for her sister, and she had said harsh words just now.
"Go away, I don't need your pretense..."
Cheng Lingran lost her voice and said: "Me!"
"Let's go!"
Cheng Lingran's eyes turned red with a fierce look in her eyes, and she said, "I won't leave, Xiao Xiu, don't do this. I'm so scared of you like this."
Jiang Xiu said: "Stop being hypocritical here. There is no good person in your Cheng family. First, your father framed my father, and then your mother came to harm me."
"They didn't mean it!"
Jiang Xiu said: "Yes, they didn't mean it. I deserve it. If you don't leave, right? I'll go..." He stood up, turned around and walked towards the far end.
Cheng Lingran felt her heart pounding. What Jiang Xiu said was true. His father's choice ruined Jiang Xiu's childhood, and his sister's choice ruined his marriage. Looking at Jiang Xiu at this moment, his hair is messy and his beard is sloppy. He still has a lame leg. With his sister accompanying him, maybe he could cheer up, but now, what hope can he see
In such a moment of hesitation, Jiang Xiu had disappeared. Cheng Lingran was startled and quickly chased after him. He walked all the way to the arch bridge without seeing Jiang Xiu's voice.
The arch bridge is very lively and is considered a tourist attraction. There are stalls at the end of the bridge and there are many people on the bridge, but today there seemed to be surprisingly many people.
"Hey, why can't you think about it at such a young age?"
"Yeah, no matter how big the problem is, you can't commit suicide."
"Today's young people are really, probably broken in love."
boom!
Cheng Lingran felt like his whole head was exploding, and his heart suddenly dropped to the bottom. His whole body was freezing cold, and he shouted: "Xiao Xiu..." She ran over desperately. Many people on the bridge looked into the river and saw her thin body. It took a lot of effort.
When she squeezed to the bridge, she only saw the water in the river, and tears came down her eyes: "Help, please save him, save you, please save him."
"Are you kidding? This place is more than ten meters away from the river. Who dares to jump in to save others?"
"It's possible to fall to death!"
An old man next to him, probably sixty or seventy years old, was walking here: "Little girl, is this your friend?"
Cheng Lingran was already crying and nodded vigorously: "Please, save him!"
I almost fainted from crying.
"The police have been called. I hope the water police can hurry up." After finishing his words, the waterboat from the far end was already speeding towards us, with its power at full speed.
"It's too late. We've been underwater for too long."
"I'm afraid it's hanging."
The speedboat roared in, and the two frogmen were already ready. They jumped into the water before the speedboat stopped. Everyone was talking about it, hoping they could make it in time.
Cheng Lingran was not a believer, but he would interlock his fingers and tremble vigorously: "Don't get into trouble, don't get into trouble..."
One minute passes!
Two minutes pass!
The surface of the river is very calm, but it is hard to tell what the current is like. It is not easy to fish people out of the water. In the past, people who drowned in the pond could not be fished out, not to mention that it is such a big river.
"No chance!"
The old man beside him shook his head, with a look of regret on his face: "Hey, you are still so young... why don't you know how to cherish life?"
Three minutes have passed!
Cheng Lingran's pretty face was so pale that there was no trace of blood. Her eyes were staring at the water, but her eyes were unfocused. She knew in her heart that the possibility of Jiang Xiu's survival was already very small, it could be said to be extremely slim.
Suddenly someone shouted: "Fetch it out."
I saw a frogman emerging from the water, carrying a person on his body, but the next second Cheng Lingran's face broke into a smile, and she said in a voice: "Is it a girl?"
The frogman was carrying a man with long hair and a skirt on his shoulders.
There is no way this is Jiang Xiu.
