"Xiao Ci, I'm very happy."
Jing Rong's hands were tied, so he couldn't reach out to hug her, so he put his forehead against hers and couldn't help but kiss her again.
He knew that the girl he liked would never let him down.
"Since I have forgiven you for your apology, then if I apologize to you, should you also forgive me?"
Dong Ci was stunned by his kiss. She looked at him with some doubts, not understanding what he meant.
"Xiao Ci, forgive me, can we start over?" Jing Rong's voice was low and hoarse. He lowered his eyes slightly and buried his face in her neck. His long eyelashes brushed against her skin, with some itchiness.
Dong Ci moved to the side a little uncomfortably, but the pain she had been ignoring was suddenly pulled back. She turned pale and groaned.
"What’s wrong with you?"
As soon as Jing Rong straightened up, Dong Ci leaned softly on his shoulder. She slightly curled up her knees, pressed them against her stomach, and said weakly. "My stomach hurts."
This was not the best time to take action, but he couldn't wait any longer.
Jing Rong's expression darkened, and he began to twist his wrist quickly, and then comforted Dong Ci in a low voice. "Don't be afraid, I'll take you out right away."
"you-"
Before Dong Ci could say anything, he found that the ropes that were originally tied to Jing Rong were all loose. He stood up and buried himself in the darkness, making a silencing gesture towards Dong Ci.
Ever since Sun Mengmeng and Sun Jiangming got what they wanted, they never appeared again. This place has been guarded by several mercenaries holding wooden warehouses, and they come in to check almost every half hour.
The time was almost up, and the door was pushed open from the outside. However, the light that poured in was very weak, and the night had not passed yet.
The mercenary who came in quickly noticed Jing Rong's disappearance. He quickly picked up the wooden warehouse and pointed it at Dong Ci, approaching her cautiously.
"What did you say?"
The mercenary was asking her questions manically. Dong Ci clearly understood what he was asking, but deliberately pretended not to understand and stared at the man in confusion.
Although she didn't know what Jing Rong wanted to do, she could only try her best to divert his attention at this time and prevent the mercenaries from discovering Jing Rong's existence.
Jing Rong was already quietly moving in the direction of the mercenaries. Dong Ci's heart was beating violently and the hands behind his back were shaking. He was obviously worried to death, but he didn't dare to look in his direction.
"hs there!"
Unfortunately, the mercenaries still found him. However, at this moment, Jing Rong quickly rushed towards him, and then Dong Ci heard a muffled groan. The mercenary dropped his head and was quickly pushed away by Jing Rong.
The spot where the mercenary fell was the brightest place in the entire factory. A faint light came through, and Dong Ci vaguely saw a line of blood flowing down from his neck.
"Jing, Jingrong..."
"Are you scared?" Jing Rong blocked her view and leaned over to help Dong Ci untie the rope.
As he got closer, Dong Ci discovered that he was holding a small dagger in his hand. There was still bright blood on the tip that had not solidified, and it was gathering at the tip and dripping down.
"There are still people outside who haven't come in yet. You stay here and don't move. I'll go take care of it."
He had obviously killed someone with this dagger just now, but his fingertips were very clean, with just a faint smell of blood on them.
"Jingrong!"
Dong Ci subconsciously grabbed his finger. She bit her lip and looked outside the calm door, trying to stay calm. "How many people are there outside?"
Jing Rong narrowed her eyes and looked out the door, thinking for a moment. "About two."
"two?"
Dong Ci was about to cry. She seemed to have used all her strength to hold onto his fingertips and said tremblingly. "They all have wooden warehouses, you..."
"Worried about me?" Jing Rong pressed her lips with his fingertips, looking at her with a slight smile on his face.
It was clear that the two of them were in such a dangerous situation at this time, but he was incredibly calm, with no trace of panic in his eyes.
'boom-'
Seeing that the people inside the door were still not coming out, the mercenaries guarding the door became impatient. They took the wooden warehouse and beat the door several times, muttering something angrily.
"Just stand here and don't move. You are not allowed to go out until I come in!"
Jing Rong's eyes darkened, and he put the dagger in Dong Ci's hand, picked up her face and kissed her hard.
"If we can still get out alive, I hope you can come back to me. I promise you will never do anything you don't like again."
These were the last words Jing Rong left in her ears. Dong Ci watched helplessly as Jing Rong rolled toward the door. She sobbed and held the dagger tightly in her hand.
"Jingrong!"
When he successfully picked up the wooden warehouse on the ground and rushed out the door, Dong Ci shouted. "If you can't come back alive, I'll die with you!"
'Bang bang—'
There were a few more wooden barn sounds, and then Dong Ci heard the sounds of a chaotic fight and men's curses, but everything soon calmed down.
It was quiet outside, as if there was no sound.
"Jing Rong..." Dong Ci called out tentatively, but it was quiet outside and no one answered.
She began to panic, and the hand holding the dagger began to tremble. She called out again tentatively, but still no one answered.
There's no way he's dead, no way...
Dong Ci pressed against the wall and began to move toward the door. However, at this moment, footsteps sounded outside.
"Xiao Ci, come here."
After hearing this familiar voice, the tears that Dong Ci was holding back finally fell. She rushed over and hugged Jing Rong, and her heart that had been hanging around finally fell. "I thought you were dead..."
"If I can't even deal with such a few people, then all my years of life have been in vain." He sneered disdainfully, took Dong Ci's hand and started running out, trying his best to cover her sight with his hands. to the body on the ground.
"Where are we going now?"
Jing Rong did not lead her to the intersection, but took her deeper into the wilderness. There was a bush in the distance. Jing Rong looked behind her and pulled her towards that place.
"Those people will soon discover the abnormality in the factory. Someone will catch up with us before we escape from the suburbs." Jing Rong coughed lightly. Seeing that Dong Ci could no longer run, he pulled her and hid in a field. In the bushes.
"So, are we still unsafe now?" Dong Ci's stomach twitched violently after not eating for a long time. Coupled with the violent running just now, her head began to feel dizzy.
"Afraid?"
Jing Rong's voice was hoarse. He knew Dong Ci was weak at this moment, but he still buried his head on her shoulder, breathing faster and faster. "We're probably going to die here."
Dong Ci bit her lip. She grabbed Jing Rong's hand and intertwined their fingers, but they were suddenly stunned.
She lowered her eyes, held Jing Rong's hand tighter, and said tremblingly. "Afraid."
In fact, when Dong Ci was first caught by Sun Mengmeng, although Dong Ci was afraid, he was not afraid of death. However, Jing Rong was beside her at this moment, and the hands they held together were sticky. The wind blew by, and she smelled the strong smell of blood...
This smell came from Jingrong.
"I'm afraid that I... will never have the chance to be with you again."
Only when people are on the verge of death can they fully understand their own hearts. Dong Ci suddenly discovered that he had once been so preoccupied with what he thought would be a lifetime of unforgivable hatred. After letting go of his attachment, he realized that nothing was unforgivable.
Jing Rong smiled. Dong Ci couldn't see his expression clearly in the dark night and didn't dare to look, but she knew that he must be smiling very beautifully at this time.
"Xiaoci."
Jing Rong coughed again and said slowly. "You always thought that you knew everything from Sun Mengmeng, but in fact, that was only part of it."
"What?" Dong Ci didn't understand what he was talking about.
"You always thought that I destroyed your mother's shop, but actually that was not my intention." Jing Rong sighed and continued. "Actually, when I bought that store, my original intention was to help you and your mother."
"I want to make you happy, so I secretly bought the store and rented it to you at a low price, and then asked Xiao Wang to pretend to be An Chengfeng's cousin to help her run it. Think about it, is that restaurant getting better and better in the beginning? ?”
Dong Ci thought about it, indeed.
When Ci Ma first ran the restaurant alone, although the business was not losing money, she did not make much money. It was not until Xiao Wang appeared that the restaurant improved significantly.
"I didn't want to ruin everything. I always wanted to give you a sweet dream."
Jing Rong's voice became much weaker. "Do you still remember the choice I gave you? If you don't leave me, I will always treat you well as Qiaoqiao said. It was only when you didn't want me later that I would..."
"Jingrong, stop talking."
By now, it's too late to say anything. Dong Ci only felt that the smell of blood around her was getting heavier and heavier. She panicked and covered the wound on his waist with her hands. Blood instantly stained her hands.
"No one taught me how to love, so I have been plundering what I like in the way I think is right..."
"I have always tried to understand what Qiaoqiao said to me, and I have always worked hard to do well."
"Just like at that time, you begged me to let you go... Ahem, if it weren't for the fact that I wanted to love you the way Qiaoqiao said, I would never let you go."
Due to excessive blood loss, Jing Rong's lips began to turn white. However, as if he couldn't feel the wounds on his body, he hugged Dong Ci and hugged her hard.
He said. "Xiao Ci, give me another chance, okay?"
"This time, I will definitely... love you."
Jing Rong's voice became lower and lower, and the breath he sprayed on Dong Ci's neck began to feel cold. Dong Ci pressed his wound with one hand and held him tightly with the other.
"Jingrong, don't sleep."
She was feeling dizzy at this moment, but she stubbornly opened her eyes wide. In order to keep herself awake, she dug her nails into her palms, took a breath, and continued. "As long as we get out alive, I will never leave you again."
Dong Ci was wrong, and she admitted that her previous knowledge was wrong.
It turns out that sometimes, love is really selfish and possessive. There is nothing wrong with this kind of love, it is even more persistent and affectionate than other people's love, but the way is too extreme.
"Jingrong..."
Dong Ci looked sideways at his closed eyes. At this moment, he was leaning on her shoulder so obediently. Such a strong man, without any aggression at this time, looked quiet and fragile, as if a touch Just break.
'Why on earth did you ask me to come to your villa to accompany you? '
'Because it's too lonely for me to live alone. '
This man had shown his most vulnerable side to her more than once since he was a boy, but unfortunately Dong Ci never believed him.
Jing Rong did indeed make a mistake, but how could she be right
There was a light shining not far away. Dong Ci listened to the footsteps getting closer and closer. She buried her face in Jing Rong's arms and tightened the dagger in her hand.
Vaguely, she heard someone calling Jing Rong's name.
