Chapter 27 New Towel and New Toothbrush I always think: What if you are crying...

The suffering of life is really like a low EQ monster. It always comes suddenly, not caring that it comes in a swaggering manner, but it can't cause any harm. It is sensational, and it doesn't care that it thinks it is considerate and gentle, but it becomes the last straw that breaks the camel's back, causing great harm to people.

And those who are deeply affected can only endure it.

The moonlight is brighter than the street lights, and the shadows of the trees become scars on people's faces.

Li Su looked quietly, looking at Qi Ying, who accompanied him to the police station to take the statement, and then accompanied him out.

He did not leave alone, and silently fought with her until he accompanied her back to her residence, until she dragged her luggage.

They returned to the door of the convenience store again, standing at the door of the convenience store, with a 28-inch black suitcase at their feet. That was almost all of Li Su's belongings.

It was 2 o'clock in the morning.

Qi Ying said nothing. He tentatively extended his hand. When Li Su did not refuse, he bent down and took Li Su's suitcase.

He decisively and quickly put it in the trunk of the car, closed the car door, and looked back at Li Su.

The night wind left a damp and cold feeling. The hair on her forehead was soaked. She looked like a fallen maple leaf that was trampled. She was a dove with nowhere to go in the drizzle.

Qi Ying asked her, "What are you thinking about?"

What can she think about now? Li Su glanced at him.

The fan-shaped drooping corners of her eyes made her look clear and gentle. Her deep outline was dim, as if she was worried or sighing. Qi Ying did

not look like a person from Guangzhou. She looked like her mother, with the gentleness and elegance of the Jiangnan water town, like a lilac flower wet in the rainy season. The kind-hearted Qi Ying, the beautiful Qi Ying, really made people helpless.

Li Su walked forward, his eyes were more honest than words, "I'm thinking about how to reject you, or how to repay you. - In short, we shouldn't fight secretly on a night like this until dawn. Even if we have to stand, we should be on the top of the mountain, before the sun rises."

"Yes!" Qi Ying's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in taking two steps forward, actively opening the co-pilot seat for Li Su, "Fortunately you are smart, I thought I had to give you a reason."

"Reasons? You were the last one to meet me, and you were afraid that if something went wrong you would be suspected and make the headlines the next day; you saw that I was a talented person, so you decided to help me out when I was in trouble and deepen our friendship; you - forget it, humans are extremely good at making excuses, and can find dozens of excuses for even the most crooked decisions. So, let's not talk about it."

"Okay." Qi Ying smiled, "Just come with me."

"That's still different." Li Su had one foot in the car, but turned around and faced Qi Ying. "For example - if it was another girl tonight, would you help me with this step?"

Qi Ying looked at her and thought about it seriously.

"If that girl hadn't paid tens of thousands of yuan to promote my work beforehand, hadn't lived in a village in the city and was willing to treat me to a meal worth two thousand yuan, hadn't jumped out to attract fire when I was about to become enemies with the investors in the circle, and hadn't asked me to stop at the entrance of the alley to facilitate my driving, then yes, I wouldn't."

The four "no"s unexpectedly disrupted Li Su's thoughts. She thought subtly in her heart that she herself didn't realize that she and Qi Ying had already had so many meaningful interactions.

"Qi Ying, do you know?" Li Su looked at Qi Ying and said seriously: "If it was before, I would definitely be very proud to hear you say these words, thinking that I was very smart and very good at handling things... But I have grown up."

Li Su smiled like a wet paper, implicit and soft, and she said: "I understand that others understand me because they are excellent. - Qi Ying, thank you. Thank you."

Li Su was right under his chin, the tip of her nose was red from the wind, and her eyes were as wet as ever, as if she had just cried. But she was smiling, a light smile, her eyes like water.

"Let's go." Qi Ying reached out and patted her head gently, "Li Su, I'll take you home."

"Okay." Li Su turned around, sat in completely, and fastened her seat belt neatly.

She looked up and saw Qi Ying quickly walked in front of the car, walked to the driver's seat, got in and sat down, started the car, drove out, and moved forward neatly, without hesitation.

The amazing thing was that the lights were green all the way, and it went straight all the way, which was unusually smooth. It seemed like some kind of destiny.

"Qi Ying." Li Su looked ahead and smiled lightly, her tone was like a sigh, and she sighed with a bad feeling: "This time my personality has really collapsed."

"What personality?" Qi Ying drove the car into the underground garage and found her parking space.

"On the surface, she is a socialite who is popular with everyone and has a lot of romantic debts," Li Su stretched out one hand, then stretched out another hand, and added meaningfully: "In fact, she is a white lotus who lives in the village in the city and has established her own roots!"

"..." Qi Ying turned around and made eye contact with Li Su. Her dark eyes were serious to the point of being weird.

"Puchi——" Qi Ying and Li Su laughed out loud at the same time.

"It's okay." Qi Ying's mouth was full of comfort.

"Yeah, it's okay."

Using jokes to cover up the dull suffering. Fortunately, there are still beautiful people in this world, and life is okay.

**

Qi Ying had thought about it. But this night came too suddenly, and he didn't have time to deal with the apartment upstairs.

He was worried that if he cleaned up temporarily, Li Su would leave because of the trouble he caused him, so he brought Li Su into the apartment he was living in first.

The shoe cabinet at the entrance was filled with all kinds of men's shoes, and there were fresh fruits on the coffee table in the living room. Li Su, who was brought into the second bedroom, took a quick look and saw the details clearly.

The 180-square-meter large flat was designed with only livability in mind, not waste. The second bedroom was also equipped with a complete set of bathrooms. As long as the room door was locked, the people in the room had absolute room to move around.

Li Su dragged the luggage in, and Qi Ying checked the wardrobe one by one under her gaze, "In the past, friends came to stay temporarily, and there may not be enough clothes hangers. Let auntie buy some tomorrow, you can make do with it for now."

Li Su waved her hand and said, "Don't spend money, I have them in the rental house, you can use them as soon as you move in."

"Then I will accompany you to get it after work tomorrow," Qi Ying emphasized, "You can stay as long as you want, there is no need to rush, okay? The New Year is coming soon, even if you want to move, it’s not too late to find a house after the New Year."

"Qi Ying, you will know when you get to know me better in the future," To reassure Qi Ying, Li Su said, "I will no longer be shy and polite to you once I've made a decision. Who knows - I will leave only if you chase me away."

Qi Ying breathed a sigh of relief. He thought about it and said seriously in a joking tone: "It's just a little help. If you really feel bad, I'll leave the housework to you. You can think of yourself as a live-in aunt, and I won't pay you."

Li Su's eyes fixed. Regarding this choice, she did not respond, but raised her hand and pointed outside.

"Is this the apartment you usually live in?" Li Su's tone was very sure: "I came too suddenly today, Qi Ying, you should live in the master bedroom, and you don't have to go to the other one."

Qi Ying's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Li Su and forgot what to say for a while. He scratched his head slowly for a long while.

Qi Ying was a little at a loss for himself who was too young and simple at the moment. He pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a smile that was not in line with his temperament.

Li Su was much calmer than him. Her eyes were clear, and she looked at him sincerely all the time. She reminded him, "In order to avoid unnecessary suspicion, Qi Ying, please put your valuables back in your bedroom, okay?"

The charming ghost passed by like a mirror, reflecting Qi Ying's guilty conscience. He finally reacted, forced a smile, and nodded slowly after a long time.

"It's late." Li Su walked to the door and looked at Qi Ying.

"Go to bed early." Qi Ying lowered his eyes and looked at the shadow on the ground. He slowly raised his steps and walked out past her.

Fang Ying's hard shadow covered him and the door slowly closed.

Qi Ying turned his back and heard a "click". The door was locked.

It was late at night and the sound of the clock moving was particularly obvious. "Da-da-da-da-"

In the room, Li Su's hand was still on the door handle.

She took out her mobile phone, turned on the screen and took a look. It was almost 3 o'clock without realizing it.

A message popped up. It was from Xu Shen.

It's so late! He... The worries that had been suppressed all night came to the surface again. Li Su felt as if her heart was tightly squeezed into a ball, and she fell into an emotional breakdown again.

What to do! Xu Shen sent him an offer! How could Xu Shen understand her words like this?

Li Su had no time to respond, and she hadn't thought about how to respond. But her silence was exchanged for another message from Xu Shen at nearly 3 o'clock.

The sky was gray-blue, and the scenery was gloomy.

After holding on for a whole day, the double consumption of physical and mental strength made Li Su's waist sore. She sat down against the wall and held her phone high.

The message was still flashing, like that person's temper, seemingly indifferent, but particularly paranoid.

Can't hide anymore. Can't. Li Su opened the dialog box vigorously.

Several short messages, neatly put together, each one was like an electric current, passing through her fingertips and her heart.

11:07, a screenshot of a plane ticket.

2:49, a location, Baiyun Airport T2.

2:49, let's start over. I'll pick you up.

Start over? Start over...

Li Su's eyes moistened instantly. She always felt that Xu Shen was talking about not only her work, but perhaps, perhaps also the relationship between them that had been frozen for five years.

Her fingertips were numb, and she moved stiffly, reluctantly clicking on the dialog box. Thousands of words came out, but she only typed "I" and was stuck.

Trying to face it, but being speechless, was exactly her situation at the moment. She really wanted someone to give her a push, even if it meant falling off a cliff. It was better than hanging on this cliff, half dead.

Hate.

"Buzz-buzz-" The phone rang like crazy, reading her heart. It was a video call from Xu Shen.

The second she briefly typed was still captured by the person staring at the screen on the other side. ——She was not asleep.

The hand pushing her finally came. Li Su took a deep breath and answered the call.

On the other end of the phone, Xu Shen, dressed in a black down jacket, was staring at the screen, his eyes slightly curved, indescribably happy.

After several hours of running around, he looked haggard with the thin stubble on his chin and a tired face, but his eyes were bright, full of hope and vitality.

"Li Su, I'm here." Xu Shen's voice was a little hoarse, with an ambiguous and sensual feeling like rubbing his ears against his cheeks. He leaned close to the screen and tried to check whether Li Su's eyes were red or crying.

"Are you okay?" Xu Shen's voice was very soft, and he came close to her gently. He said, "Li Su, Guangzhou is so far away. I always think: If you are crying, I have to stay with you."

The twists and turns of the night are like a scar that is about to heal. When you don't look at it, the scab in your heart can also make you forget the pain, but it can be kissed by a sudden and loving kiss...

Li Su put her arms on her raised knees, half of her face sank and hid under her arms. She stared at the camera quietly, praying silently in her heart, and her nose was sore.

Don't talk, Xu Shen, don't talk.

As if touching each other's souls, they understood each other for a moment. Xu Shen on the other end of the video came closer, his long eyelashes almost hitting the camera, and his eyes were as clear and bright as a wish made by a person.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he existed like a doting person, close to her, as if he was within her reach.

This moment was enough to illuminate many lonely nights.

"Li Su." He called her.

"Knock knock knock--" The knocks on the door were like the beams on the eaves, slamming down.

A hazy and considerate voice was clearly heard outside the door. It was Qi Ying.

He said, "Li Su, I got you a new towel and a new toothbrush."
