Chapter 212 Choice
Su Luo returned to , unable to resist the waves of fatigue, but she still couldn't help wondering how Wan Yangui would treat Qin Qing, whether he would change his mind and tell the whereabouts of the doctor. If he insisted not to tell, what should Qin Huai do?
Su Luo fell asleep in a daze. After an unknown amount of time, he was suddenly awakened by a nightmare. He was startled to find a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, and there was another person beside him without him noticing!
Su Luo's body suddenly stiffened. Just as she was about to struggle, a warm breath was exhaled towards her ear...
"it's me."
That voice made Su Luo gradually relax. She turned around and threw herself into the arms behind him. Without saying a word, tears had already burst out.
"Qin Huai...Qin Huai he..."
Li Rusong gently rested his chin on the top of Su Luo's head and said, "Don't cry, there will be a way."
"Why did you come back just now?" Su Luo rubbed her snot and tears on his chest.
"I've rushed back as quickly as possible." Li Rusong's voice was filled with fatigue, and he tightened his arms around Su Luo.
Su Luo raised her head, "If you had come back earlier, maybe there would have been a way. I don't know what to do anymore."
Su Luo told Li Rusong in detail what had happened in the past few days. Li Rusong did not interrupt her narration until she finished speaking. Li Rusong held her hair and said, "If Li Desheng can speak, it may not be decisive evidence, but it can delay the case for some time. The key is to find that doctor."
Su Luo's face turned bitter again, "I don't know if Wan Yangui is willing to change his mind."
"There is always a way. As long as the doctor really treated Zhang Tie, there must be clues left. Someone must have seen when he went and when he left."
"But we can't find him now. Even if someone knows when he left, it's useless. Wan Yangui can insist that he never treated Zhang Tie. Li Desheng is in this state now. Even if he wakes up, he may not be able to speak. If he can't speak, he can't testify in court. Then not only will Qin Huai be executed, but Zhou Chongwen will also be implicated."
Li Rusong thought for a moment and said, "You said Liu Chengxuan had previously made every effort to transfer the case, and now he is willing to help you?"
"I'm also very surprised, but Su Jiang said he was trustworthy. When he helped Wan Yangui to present this case to the emperor, it was just a matter of hurting people, which was far from being this serious."
"So she thinks Liu Chengxuan wants to help Qin Huai resolve this feud?"
Su Luo nodded, and Li Rusong said, "This way our chances of winning will increase. I will go see him tomorrow to see if he has any ideas." He patted Su Luo's head, "Don't worry, Qin Huai will be fine."
Su Luo leaned gently into Li Rusong's arms, closed her eyes, took a long breath, and nodded slowly.
Li Rusong was silent for a long time, then suddenly asked softly, "If it was me in prison today, would you also run around for me like this, even at the cost of your own body and future in exchange for my freedom?"
Su Luo opened her eyes and met his. She couldn't see clearly in the darkness, but she knew that his eyes must be full of hope. Su Luo didn't answer, but buried her face in Li Rusong's chest and said in a muffled voice: "I, I want to marry Qin Huai."
She listened to Li Rusong's heartbeat from slow to fast, and the arms that were tightly holding her slowly loosened. Su Luo didn't know why she suddenly wanted to cry, thinking about when she first heard Zi Yan talk about that matter, although she pretended to be calm, her heart almost jumped out of her chest.
That night, she vaguely remembered saying to others words that she had suppressed for a long time. She was terrified that she had come to this era. She was in a panic all day, fearing that one day when she woke up, everything around her would turn into a dream; at the same time, she hoped that this was a dream, and when she opened her eyes, she would still see her own world.
That night, she still vaguely remembered that someone had said something to her that she couldn't forget even if she wanted to. He said he was also terrified, too terrified to survive; too terrified to get close to his parents and brothers; too terrified to make any friends. He couldn't figure out why this happened to him. He hoped it was a dream, but he was afraid of the loneliness in his heart that was hard to suppress.
Su Luo is also lonely. As Yun Lang once said, they are all lonely people. She has always known it, but she is unwilling to admit it. Especially after coming here, no matter how many people are around her or how much money she has, the feeling of loneliness always accompanies her. She is different from others, so she is destined to be lonely. This situation continued until she met Qin Huai. Qin Huai appeared in front of her as a time traveler, which made her feel extremely relieved, and the loneliness in her heart finally decreased a little. But she later realized that Qin Huai was not. From his words and deeds, it is not difficult to find that Qin Huai is not the person who has the same experience as her. The only person around Qin Huai who may show him the future world is Li Rusong.
When in Luoyang, Su Luo had already noticed this. Since Qin Huai was not a time traveler, then the other founder of the military academy could not be wrong.
She knew about this, but she didn't know how to speak. Perhaps she was not satisfied that Li Rusong had not told her the truth, but she didn't know that Li Rusong had already told her the truth, not only openly, but also "frankly".
Thinking of the scene that day, Su Luo couldn't help but feel hot. Although Li Rusong guarded the last pass, he did what he should do. She couldn't understand why Li Rusong did this at that time. Didn't he always regard her as a trouble? Her thoughts were not clear at that time. Was he confused too? Or... As early as that time, he had a different feeling for her, so he took the jade pendant and became more entangled with her.
Qin Qing said that she wanted to know if she could still marry Qin Huai. Su Luo also wanted to know. She had been making a choice until that moment. When she knew that the case had escalated, she had decided that if Qin Huai didn't die, she would marry him. As she had thought at the beginning, she was destined to hurt someone, so she should be quick and give the other person more time to heal the scar.
"I'm sorry." Su Luo took a deep breath, her nose filled with the unique pine scent of Li Rusong. She gently pushed him away, "From now on..."
Li Rusong suddenly turned over and pressed her under him, his eyes shining with a strange light in the darkness.
"Did I lose to your pity for Qin Huai? If it was me who was dying today, would you say the same thing to Qin Huai?"
Su Luo felt his anger, her eyes gradually moistened, she shook her head, "No, it's not pity."
Li Rusong turned Su Luo's face and asked her to look directly at him. "If you said this before I left, I would bless you, but what does it mean now?" Su Luo avoided his gaze and dared not look him in the eye. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed Su Luo's lips heavily, sucking hard and entwining them to his heart's content.
Su Luo gradually became accommodating from her initial resistance. Her hands became weak and tightly grasped his shoulders. She murmured. Li Rusong raised his head with satisfaction and chuckled, "See, you have feelings for me."
Su Luo struggled awkwardly, but she was no match for Li Rusong. She pursed her lips and turned her head away, "I feel the same way about Qin Huai. I feel the same when he kisses me."
Li Rusong's body became stiff again, and his fiery lips fell again, his lips, cheeks, neck...
"How about this? Has he ever kissed you like this?" Li Rusong murmured, pulling open Su Luo's shirt and sucking her softness. His slender fingers kept reaching down, "Is it like this?"
"let me go!"
Li Rusong turned a deaf ear to her and took off Su Luo's shirt from her shoulders, leaving a red kiss mark. He used his knee to push open her tightly closed legs and feel her fiery body temperature. "Is this true?"
Her body was aroused and became more and more hot. Su Luo bit her lower lip to regain a bit of clarity and couldn't help crying, "Don't make me hate you."
"I just want you to treat me fairly!" Li Rusong growled, with a hint of pain of defeat in his voice.
"How can it be fair! Is it fair to choose you?" Su Luo gave up struggling and dropped her arms helplessly. "There is no fairness at all, not from the beginning. If Qin Huai had not appeared in front of me pretending to be a time traveler out of curiosity, if you had not left Nanjing without saying a word, things would not have turned out like this today. You want fairness, is it fair to me? Is it fair to Qin Huai for you to treat me like this now? You just asked me what I would do if you were in trouble today. I will answer you now, I will be so worried and sad, and I will use all my abilities to save you. For me, the palm of my hand is you, and the back of my hand is him, and it is difficult to give up either of them. You can say that I am fickle or that I am slutty, I no longer have the strength to choose, so let it be, okay?" Su Luo's tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, and she gently closed her eyes, "If you want to do it, just do it, I don't think Qin Huai will ever dislike me."
