"Sister Su, save me--" Feng Ruixing lay on the ground and coughed violently a few times.
Seeing this, Su Qingxin wanted to run up, but was stopped by Chi Yuecheng and Zhu Panpan. Su Qingxin looked at the dozen people who gradually came out and shouted at Zhang Chao: "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Chao held a wooden stick in his hand and asked his brothers to help Feng Ruixing up. He pointed the stick at Su Qingxin and others and said, "Your brother smashed my warehouse, damaged the musical instruments my brothers bought, and injured my people. It's simple. I beat this guy up. I don't care about him beating my brother, but he smashed my warehouse and damaged the musical instruments that my brothers bought with the money they saved for several years. He should pay for it, right?"
"So you just want money, right?" Su Qingxin understood what Zhang Chao meant.
Feng Ruixing shouted, "Sister Su, they were the ones who occupied my warehouse first. It was originally our roller skating rink! They were wrong first!"
"Shut up!" Zhang Chao swung the wooden stick and hit Feng Ruixing.
"Stop!" Su Qingxin stopped Zhang Chao and asked, "Whose warehouse does it belong to?"
Zhang Chao carried the stick on his shoulder and said, "They found the warehouse first, but I paid first. Whoever paid is the boss. This guy has no luck, who can he blame?"
"So you were so angry that you beat someone up and smashed his warehouse and musical instruments?" Su Qingxin asked Feng Ruixing.
Feng Ruixing hung his head and said unhappily, "We were the first to find it... They took advantage of our misfortune."
Zhang Chao heard this and sneered, "You have no guts, why do you talk so nicely?"
Su Qingxin said, "If that's the case, then there's no point in looking for me. He is responsible for what he did. If you want to beat him to death, then go ahead. Anyway, I won't be the one who bears the legal responsibility in the end."
"Hmph..." Zhang Chao sneered and asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"Whatever you think." Su Qingxin didn't want to stay here any longer. The atmosphere here made her feel sick.
When she turned to leave, Feng Ruixing hurriedly called out to her, "Stop, Sister Su, are you really not going to save me? They will beat me to death! Really! Sister Su!"
Su Qingxin turned her head and said word by word: "I said, I am not your sister."
Feng Ruixing was anxious when he saw this, and he shouted, "Su Qingxin! You can't do this! You can't just stand by and watch her die! Our family has raised your mother for so long in vain, you owe us the Feng family this!"
Past events came to her mind, and Su Qingxin angrily said, "I don't owe you Feng family anything!"
Feng Ruixing struggled and said, "Su Qingxin, how can you be so heartless? You ran away with a man, and your mother was left alone. If it weren't for me, she would have been homeless! Su Qingxin, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You are so heartless! Wei Ran has been looking for you for so long, but you ended up with another man! I'm your brother, and you didn't even come to my rescue! Su Qingxin, I hate you! I hate you so much!"
Su Qingxin was furious at these words. She walked up quickly, not caring about anything else, and punched Feng Ruixing in the face with her fist. Feng Ruixing fell to the ground. She grabbed his collar and almost screamed, "I said I don't owe you Feng family anything! What does your life or death have to do with me!"
Feng Ruixing was so upset after being beaten by Su Qingxin that he cried. He never thought that Su Qingxin, who was so weak when she was little, would one day beat him with her fists and not care about his life or death.
Feng Ruixing was very proud and cried, "You have no conscience! Even if I'm sorry for you, your tuition and living expenses for three years of high school were all paid by my father! Can't you help me?"
When it comes to Feng Qiang, Su Qingxin wishes she could cut him into pieces!
Su Qingxin let go of her hand, and Feng Ruixing fell to the ground, with a trace of blood flowing from her mouth. Su Qingxin was trembling all over, staring at Feng Ruixing, and her cheeks were already covered with tears.
She said in a trembling voice: "Feng Ruixing, you said I was heartless and didn't help you, you said I ran away with a man and left Wei Ran behind, you said I owed your Feng family, I owed your father... But do you really know why I left so suddenly at that time?"
She stood up and staggered, her heart felt heavy and sad as if it was filled with lead. She pointed at Feng Ruixing and cried and accused her, "I will never forget that May of the year when I took the college entrance examination. None of you know how desperate I was! The so-called father who paid for my high school education and was very kind to me was Feng Qiang - he was just a beast who wanted to rape me while I was asleep!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
Wei Ran shook his head in disbelief, his body a little unsteady. Really? Just as he guessed, Su Qingxin must have suffered a lot of injustice at that time. When she ran to find him, she saw him with Qin Ruxi. Did she really hear those words that made her sad?
Feng Ruixing shook his head in a daze, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth with difficulty: "Impossible..."
"Impossible?" Su Qingxin laughed sarcastically, and said, "You'll know when you go back and ask your father. Feng Ruixing, I was so helpless that day, I desperately called your name, begging you to save me...but you just stayed in the room and refused to come out to take a look...Do you know how scared I was?"
"No, Sister Su!" Feng Ruixing hurriedly shook his head and explained, "I really don't know, really! If I had heard it, I would definitely... I..." He suddenly remembered that day, Su Qingxin was reviewing her homework in the living room in her pajamas, and he went into the bedroom to play games as soon as he came back. When he went downstairs, Su Qingxin was gone. He only saw Feng Qiang bandaging his wounds with a smell of alcohol, and there were broken porcelain cups in the living room. Then from that day on, Dad became irritable, irritable and paranoid, and he also loved to quarrel with Shu Fan. So... is that the case?
Su Qingxin turned her head and cast her blurred vision at Wei Ran. She smiled and said, "That day I ran away from Feng's house, not knowing where to go. I went to find Wei Ran, but saw him with Qin Ruxi. He said... he said, 'Because Su Qingxin is innocent, I just want to deceive her.' Feng Ruixing, do you think such a person is really worthy of my love? I went to the train station alone and wanted to go back to Haicheng to find my father. At that time, Zhang Yishi appeared and saved me. He took me in and took me back to Haicheng. After returning to Haicheng, I didn't even see my father for the last time. The neighbors said... that he had died a long time ago..." Su Qingxin was choked with sobs when she said this.
They all wanted to know how she had been doing in the past few years and why she left without saying goodbye, but they didn't know that everything Su Qingxin had experienced was caused by them!
Wei Ran took a deep breath, secretly turned his head away, and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
Qin Ruxi's eyes were also avoiding him, she didn't know what to do.
Feng Ruixing got up, took Su Qingxin's hand, and said at a loss: "Sister Su, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's my fault, it's my father's fault, Sister Su... I'm sorry."
Su Qingxin pulled her hand back and swallowed all the sadness. After the pain in her throat subsided, she said coldly, "You don't have to say sorry to me. I have nothing to do with you anymore."
Feng Ruixing raised her eyes, looked at Su Qingxin sadly, and shouted in a long voice: "Sister..."
He may have never called her "sister" so sincerely. His sincerity contained regret for the past and helplessness in the present.
Su Qingxin wiped away her tears, walked up to Zhang Chao, and asked, "How much is the total value of the things he smashed?"
Zhang Chao blew his bangs. After hearing Su Qingxin's story, he also felt sympathy. He rolled his eyes, looked up, and said, "The broken musical instruments, the compensation the tenants asked us to pay, and the damaged recording studio and various equipment, a total of 230,000, but..." He scratched his head and said, "We also injured several of their people, so we'll just pay 200,000."
"I won't give you a penny less than 230,000."
Su Qingxin sniffed, walked back to Chi Yuecheng, and asked, "I... I don't have that much money on me right now, can you lend me some?"
It was rare for Chi Yuecheng to see Su Qingxin in a different mood than usual. He didn't care about Su Qingxin's past, he only cared about her present. If the past was too painful for her to look back on, it was a good thing for Chi Yuecheng, because at least Su Qingxin wanted to forget those things and those people.
Listening to Su Qingxin's request, Chi Yuecheng smiled and said, "Just ask me for it, no need to borrow it. But... I gave you the money, you owe me a favor, so should I cancel the agreement that I couldn't touch you without your permission?"
When Su Qingxin heard this, she whispered angrily, "You are taking advantage of the situation!"
"If you don't want to, forget it." Chi Yuecheng pretended to be indifferent.
"You!" Su Qingxin was furious.
Suddenly, a figure passed by. Wei Ran walked up to Zhang Chao, handed him the cash box, and said, "Here is a total of 350,000 yuan."
"Wei Ran, you're crazy! That's the company's money!" Qin Ruxi said in astonishment.
Wei Ran said, "I will make up for it with my own money." Then he said to Zhang Chao, "Take it and release Feng Ruixing."
Chi Yuecheng crossed his arms as if he was watching a good show, and said jokingly, "Oh, someone is trying to be a hero."
Su Qingxin walked over and said to Wei Ran: "Thank you, but I don't need your help."
"Consider it as a loan from you, just return it to me later." Wei Ran's tone was gentle, even though his eyes were not on her.
Zhang Chao took the cash box, opened it, and took away only 200,000 yuan. Then, he said to Feng Ruixing, "Okay, your sister has paid for you, so we won't embarrass you." After that, he left with his brothers.
Su Qingxin looked at Feng Ruixing, who was covered in injuries, and said, "Call your girlfriend and ask her to take you to the hospital."
"Sister Su." Feng Ruixing lowered her head and managed to speak for a long time. "I will not be so impulsive next time. I will start my own business and try to return the money to you as soon as possible."
Su Qingxin didn't say anything to him anymore, and turned around and walked out of the parking lot. Zhu Panpan and Chi Yuecheng also walked out afterwards.
Qin Ruxi came to Wei Ran, still angry, and said, "Wei Ran, you just want Su Qingxin to owe you, right? This way you might be able to rekindle your old relationship with her!"
Wei Ran ignored Qin Ruxi's words and walked out of the parking lot with the cash box. No matter how angry Qin Ruxi was, she could only follow him back.
All the sorrow that is expressed because of uncontrollable emotions comes like an overwhelming flood.
We can't regret it, and we can't take it back.
Wei Ran gave the money on behalf of Su Qingxin, and Su Qingxin must return it to him as soon as possible.
Su Qingxin called Zhang Yishi. The first person she thought of when encountering anything was Zhang Yishi. Zhang Yishi was the only person in the world that she could put down her armor and show her weakness to trust.
"I'm afraid I can't handle it alone. Can you accompany me?" Su Qingxin explained to Zhang Yishi that Wei Ran had paid the money for her and asked Zhang Yishi.
A harsh mechanical sound came from Zhang Yishi's side. He ran a few steps and entered the office, and the noise became a little quieter.
"Okay, wait for me to get off work. After we get to Wei Ran's place, we'll go back together to see your mother."
Su Qingxin scratched the edge of the phone and pursed her lips and said, "Okay, when I go to pay the money back, can you stand by and let me face Wei Ran first?"
Zhang Yishi was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Qingxin pretended to be angry.
Zhang Yishi said: "To put it bluntly, you just can't let go of that kid."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you. I'll wait for you at your workplace." Su Qingxin avoided the topic.
Zhang Yishi said again: "No need, I will go find you and go with you to get the money and return it to him."
"Okay." Su Qingxin nodded.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yishi accompanied Su Qingxin to where Wei Ran lived. Zhu Panpan had found out the location for Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin stood at the door, and Zhang Yishi was leaning against the aisle not far from her waiting for her.
Su Qingxin exhaled and raised her hand to knock on the door. There was no movement in the room. Su Qingxin pressed against the door to listen for any movement, but suddenly heard the sound of the doorknob turning. She quickly stood up straight.
Wei Ran opened the door, wearing a simple and clean white T-shirt and a pair of gray shorts. His hair was still wet and a towel was covering his head.
Su Qingxin calmly avoided his gaze, and Wei Ran spoke first: "Qingxin? How did you know I was here?"
"I'm here to pay back the money." Su Qingxin said in a low voice, holding the bag in her hand.
Wei Ran's eyes slowly moved down to the bag of cash and said, "I'm not in a hurry to use this money."
"It's not a question of whether you need it urgently or not. I owe you something and I should pay you back." Su Qingxin raised the bag a little higher and looked up at Wei Ran.
Wei Ran changed the subject and said, "Come in and sit down first. Just put the money inside."
"I'm not going in, you take it." Su Qingxin rejected his invitation.
Wei Ran stared at Su Qingxin silently, his eyes cold. He said, "In that case, please go back. As for the money, I will come to you in person another day." As he said that, he was about to close the door.
At this moment, a big hand suddenly slammed on the door panel, stopping Wei Ran from closing the door.
Zhang Yishi appeared at the door, snatched the purse from Su Qingxin and threw it into Wei Ran's room. He put his arm around Su Qingxin's shoulders with a smile on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Wei Ran: "We are all straightforward people. You were very straightforward when you lent money to our sister Su, and our sister Su was also very straightforward when she paid you back, so don't be so fussy. Girl, let's go." After saying that, without waiting for Wei Ran to speak, he took Su Qingxin away. He had been standing by and watching, Su Qingxin was dawdling, and he could no longer bear it.
Wei Ran bent down to pick up the purse on the ground and slowly walked out of the room. Su Qingxin was no longer at the end of the corridor. He recalled what Su Qingxin had said in the underground garage, and his clean features wrinkled unconsciously.
Finally, he turned around and walked into the house. The moment the door closed, the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up, and the incandescent light was empty. The corridor, which was full of life just now, now returned to silence.
Su Qingxin was grabbed by the shoulders by Zhang Yishi and walked downstairs. She slightly dodged, rubbed her red shoulders and cried out in pain.
Zhang Yishi looked at her with disdain, put his hands in his pockets, and walked forward with a swagger. Su Qingxin followed him slowly, occasionally looking back at the exquisite community.
The days passed slowly, and Su Qingxin would still meet Wei Ran at work. They had already signed the contract between Guokang and Huamei, so they had a lot of business dealings.
Wei Ran no longer deliberately tried to repair his relationship with Su Qingxin, but he was much gentler and more cautious with her than before. He knew that she had been hurt a lot, so he was afraid of hurting her again.
After the cooperation with Guokang came to an end, Su Qingxin's work became much easier. On weekends, Zhu Panpan came to watch a movie with her. Su Qingxin was feeling a little unwell and didn't want to go out, so Zhu Panpan stayed in bed with her and watched a horror movie on the computer.
The two girls turned off the lights and nervously hugged each other to watch a horror movie. Just when they were scared, there was a knock on the door. Su Qingxin and Zhu Panpan looked at each other, and then they realized that someone was knocking on their door.
"What an ungrateful guy! Such a spoils the fun!" Zhu Panpan pressed the pause button and ran to open the door.
Su Qingxin was ready to "enjoy" Zhu Panpan's thunderous lion roar, but after waiting for a while, she saw Zhu Panpan running in and said, "Qingxin, it's Feng Ruixing and his girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Su Qingxin walked out wrapped in a shawl.
Feng Ruixing and Lu Xi stood at the door with some fruits in their hands.
"What are you doing here?" Su Qingxin's face was not very good.
Feng Ruixing was hesitant and could not speak. Lu Xi next to her spoke first, saying, "Sister Su, Ah Xing heard that you were sick and came to see you specially."
At this time, Lu Xi was wearing no makeup and fresh clothes, which made her look even more beautiful and charming. She looked much more comfortable than the heavily made-up girl she had seen on the street before.
"It's just a minor cold, not a serious illness." Su Qingxin turned around, slightly turned her head to look at the two slightly timid children standing at the door, and said, "Come in and sit down."
After getting the permission, Feng Ruixing's face was full of joy, and he walked in with Lu Xi. As he walked in, he said, "Sister Su, can I help you put the fruit in the refrigerator? By the way, Sister Su, have you eaten? Xixi has learned a lot of new dishes recently, I'll ask her to cook for you."
Su Qingxin glanced at Lu Xi roughly. She looked no more than 18 or 19 years old. She was arrogant on the road then, but now her eyes were full of respect. Su Qingxin walked up to Lu Xi and asked softly, "Do you often cook for him?"
"Not really. We just do it whenever we want to," Lucy answered obediently.
Su Qingxin glanced at Feng Ruixing again and asked, "Are you two no longer studying?"
"I'm not studying anymore. Xixi is still studying." Feng Ruixing answered honestly.
Su Qingxin didn't want to find out why Feng Ruixing didn't study in his sophomore year, so she asked, "How's the roller skating rink going?"
"It has been open for three months. Sister, you can come and play with your friends when you are free. It is free. We also have a place to eat." Feng Ruixing proudly recounted the fruits of her labor. Because Feng Qiang was in poverty, Feng Ruixing had no source of living expenses, so she dropped out of school and came to Hefei with a few brothers to open a roller skating rink.
He met Lu Xi at a roadside stall. That day, she was dragged by her friends and dressed up as a streetwalker. She sat by the roadside stall, constantly pulling at her skirt. When someone came to tease Lu Xi, it was Feng Ruixing who saved her. Feng Ruixing was completely immersed in his overly exaggerated image of a man, but Lu Xi secretly fell in love with him.
An eighteen-year-old girl is always easily attracted to the young hero who has helped her.
"I'm already this old. If I accidentally fall, my life will be over." Su Qingxin poured a glass of water and said, "Panpan, help Lu Xi cook. She can't handle it alone."
"Okay." Zhu Panpan was very happy.
Zhu Panpan never thought that Su Qingxin would reconcile with Feng Ruixing one day, nor did she think that although Feng Ruixing was still impulsive when he grew up, he was still a very hardworking person.
Feng Ruixing took the cold medicine from Su Qingxin's hand, soaked it in boiling water for Su Qingxin, and said flatteringly: "Sister Su, you are only 23 years old, in your prime. You have taken the position of Huamei Marketing Manager at the age of 23, which is amazing! I told my brothers about it, and they all envied me for having a sister like you."
"Stop flattering me and stop mentioning me in front of others." Su Qingxin didn't appreciate it at all. She rolled her eyes at him and sat back on the sofa.
Feng Ruixing followed him, leaned on the back of the sofa, and promised: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything then."
Su Qingxin held a warm cup of water, leaned on the sofa, and turned on the Do Not Disturb mode. Feng Ruixing saw that Su Qingxin was tired, so he didn't say anything more and went back to the kitchen to help Zhu Panpan and Lu Xi.
That day, the four of them enjoyed lunch together.
Although Su Qingxin was lukewarm towards Feng Ruixing, everyone could see that she no longer rejected him, let alone hated him.
It's really tiring to remember a person's bad points.
Su Qingxin didn't want to be so tired.
The autumn wind is blowing outside. Time cannot be looked back upon. Once you look back, you will find that the past is like flowing water.
The top management of Huamei just decided to send Su Qingxin on a business trip to Beijing to negotiate a contract. Su Qingxin agreed only to learn that Guokang had also sent Wei Ran to sign the contract.
Chi Yuecheng handed a cup of stomach-warming and refreshing coffee to Su Qingxin, who was daydreaming by the office window, and said, "I'll go and ask the higher-ups to let me go with you."
"No need." Su Qingxin took the coffee and took a sip, then said, "I can go by myself."
"Aren't you worried about facing that person alone?" Chi Yuecheng asked.
Su Qingxin lowered her head slightly and said, "I have faced it alone so many times, this time is nothing."
Chi Yuecheng smiled, looking like he was waiting for something interesting to happen. He said, "Since you have made up your mind, I can't say anything. When are you leaving? I'll take you to the airport."
"Tomorrow." Su Qingxin replied, looking out the window.
At 3 pm the next day, Chi Yuecheng drove Su Qingxin to the airport. In the waiting room, Chi Yuecheng put a shawl on Su Qingxin and told her, "It's even colder in Beijing. You haven't recovered from your cold yet, so take care of yourself."
"Yes." Su Qingxin wrapped herself in a shawl and walked towards the security check with her luggage.
Chi Yuecheng watched her go until he could no longer see her back, then he slowly left the airport. Half an hour later, he sat in the car and watched Su Qingxin's flight take off safely.
In fact, Su Qingxin was not worried about competing with Wei Ran for the same contract, but she did not expect that she would take the same flight as Wei Ran, and their seats would be next to each other.
Wei Ran saw Su Qingxin coming over with a suitcase, glanced at the window seat on his left, immediately understood, stood up and said, "I'll help you put it away."
"No, I can do it myself." Su Qingxin put the suitcase into the luggage compartment. Wei Ran stepped aside to let her sit. She politely said "thank you", then sat down, wrapped her head with a shawl, and took a nap against the porthole.
She didn't want to say a word the whole time, and Wei Ran also chose to remain silent. They didn't say a word during the nearly two-hour journey.
When the plane landed at the Capital Airport, Su Qingxin, who was sleeping, had not yet woken up. Wei Ran gently pushed her arm and called out, "Qingxin?"
Passengers got off the plane one after another, and the flight attendant came over and asked: "Sir, may I ask..."
"Shh." Wei Ran frowned and made a gesture to the flight attendant to keep quiet.
He pushed aside her shawl, revealing Su Qingxin's messy hair and hot cheeks. Wei Ran stretched out his hand and put it on her face, only then did he feel the burning temperature. It seemed that she was uncomfortable due to a cold, and fell asleep like this.
"This lady is my friend. She is not feeling well, so I am here to carry her out. Please ask your staff to help us get the luggage and send it to the taxi outside the airport." Wei Ran said.
The flight attendant responded, "Yes, sir."
Wei Ran carefully unbuckled Su Qingxin's seat belt, carried her on his back, and got off the plane.
After arriving at the airport, Wei Ran took a taxi to the hotel, arranged Su Qingxin in a comfortable king-size room, and went to the pharmacy to buy some medicine.
Wei Ran turned on the heating in the room to a suitable temperature. When Su Qingxin woke up, her head was a little groggy. She didn't understand why she was in the hotel. When she touched the phone on the bedside, she found that the phone was turned to silent mode. There were three missed calls from Chi Yuecheng, two missed calls from Zhu Panpan, and a text message from Zhang Yishi, which said: I'll reply.
Su Qingxin sent a text message back to Zhang Yishi, and also reported to Chi Yuecheng and Zhu Panpan that she was safe. After everything was done, she calmed down, tapped her aching head, and tried to recall how she got from the plane to the hotel, but she just couldn't remember.
On the bedside table was a glass of water and a piece of paper with several pills arranged on it. Su Qingxin poured the pills into her palm and took a look at the paper. There was a line of words written on it:
Remember to take your medicine when you wake up. I'm going to buy you dinner.
The signature is Wei Ran.
Su Qingxin poured the pill into her mouth, swallowed it with water, and stood up and walked out of the bedroom. There was a large living room outside the bedroom, with all kinds of furniture. She walked to the sofa and wanted to sit down and rest, but at this time she heard the sound of a card swiping to open the door. When she turned around, she saw Wei Ran coming in with two bowls of porridge and some light side dishes.
"Why did you get up?" Seeing this, Wei Ran put down the porridge and vegetables, went over to help Su Qingxin sit down, and asked with concern, "Have you taken your medicine? Will you feel better after a good sleep?"
Su Qingxin subconsciously avoided Wei Ran's intimate gesture and said, "I'm fine. I just haven't recovered from my minor cold."
Wei Ran knew that she was avoiding him, so he didn't do anything else. He brought the porridge and put it on the table, and asked, "Are you hungry? Eat something."
Su Qingxin did not answer and just sat there without moving.
Wei Ran slowly sat down opposite Su Qingxin and looked at her quietly. Su Qingxin supported herself on the sofa with both hands and turned her head to the right, so Wei Ran couldn't see her face clearly.
The room was very quiet. They could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats, but could not feel each other's warmth or thoughts.
After a long while, Wei Ran sighed, stood up, and said, "I'm next door, call me if you need anything." Then he left, his steps as heavy as his heart, without even taking his share of porridge and vegetables.
As soon as the door closed, Su Qingxin's long eyelashes closed slightly, and a tear fell.
She wiped it off quickly, took the porridge and stuffed it into her mouth in big mouthfuls. Her hair hung down, covering her face, making it difficult to see her expression.
When a person is sick, both the body and the mind are very fragile. She was afraid to show such weakness in front of Wei Ran. Besides, at this moment, Wei Ran was her opponent.
The time agreed with the Beijing company is tomorrow noon. She must get a good rest and then give it her all.
But my body is so tired and my eyes are so tired.
Su Qingxin lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze. After a while, she wrapped herself in a thick coat, took her luggage and went to the front desk to check out of the room. She didn't tell Wei Ran, nor did she want to tell him.
Su Qingxin took a taxi to another hotel alone. Because of the rush, her body became more and more uncomfortable. When she got the room card and opened the door of the new hotel, she finally couldn't support her tired body and fainted at the door.
The residents on the same floor screamed in fright and quickly called the staff, who dialed 120 and sent Su Qingxin to the hospital.
At the same time when Su Qingxin was sent to the hospital, Wei Ran learned about Su Qingxin's check-out at the hotel front desk. He was angry and worried, and when he called to question her, he learned that Su Qingxin was hospitalized because the person who answered the phone was a hospital nurse. Wei Ran did not dare to neglect it and rushed to the hospital.
In the ward, Su Qingxin was sleeping soundly, and the drip fluid was flowing slowly in the transparent tube.
When Wei Ran rushed to the ward, she hadn't woken up yet. Her breathing was even and she didn't look sick at all, but her cheeks were terribly hot. Wei Ran asked the nurse if Su Qingxin was okay. The nurse told him that they had to wait for Su Qingxin to wake up before further examination. Now they could only preliminarily find that her cold was very serious.
Wei Ran thanked him and stayed in the ward to accompany Su Qingxin.
Things between him and Su Qingxin were so busy that he didn't even have time to sit down and listen to Su Qingxin talk about how she had been living during the years they had been apart.
Wei Ran resented Su Qingxin for not giving him any news for so long, and for not telling him her innermost thoughts. He also resented himself for not being able to give Su Qingxin happiness.
Su Qingxin's cell phone kept vibrating on the bedside table. All the calls were from Chi Yuecheng.
After a while, Chi Yuecheng sent a WeChat message, saying, "Why didn't you answer the phone? Is your cold better? I'll ask Panpan to come see you tomorrow."
After a while, Chi Yuecheng sent another WeChat message, saying, "Qingxin, I miss you."
There were many text messages, WeChat messages and missed calls, but there was nothing else in Wei Ran's phone except Qin Ruxi's greetings.
It has been two years since his junior year in college. His father has never called him, and his mother only sends him a text message every year on his birthday. He heard from others that his mother seems to have another child with a man who drives a BMW. But until now, he has no news about his father, even if he heard from others, there is nothing.
Over the years, the only belief that kept Wei Ran alive - Su Qingxin, no longer belonged to him.
It was already dark outside. There were no stars or moon in the Beijing sky tonight, and it was dark and dim.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Su Qingxin woke up.
Wei Ran supported his head and almost fell on the bed. Seeing Su Qingxin wake up, he stood up in a panic, wanting to ask something, but found that he wanted to ask too many questions and didn't know where to start.
After working for a long time, Wei Ran finally managed to say, "Are you hungry?"
Su Qingxin glanced outside the ward door and said, "I want to... call a nurse for me."
"Okay." Wei Ran hurriedly pressed the nurse call bell at the bedside and ran to the door to look.
Seeing Wei Ran at a loss, Su Qingxin suddenly wanted to cry.
She remembered the time when she was fifteen or sixteen, and Wei Ran at that time, the Wei Ran who had given her infinite warmth and expectations.
When the nurse came over, Su Qingxin whispered a few words to her, and then the nurse took Su Qingxin out.
Wei Ran didn't know what they were going to do, so he followed them from a distance, lingeringly, until they reached the women's restroom. He then returned to the ward with a little embarrassment to wait.
When Su Qingxin came back, she said to Wei Ran, "Wei Ran, can you help me get my luggage from the hotel? All my toiletries are there, and I can't go back tonight."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Wei Ran responded quickly. As soon as he reached the door, he turned back and put all his ID cards and bank cards in Su Qingxin's hands, and said seriously: "Help me keep an eye on these. You can't run away again this time, or I'll call the police to catch you back."
After saying that, Wei Ran left the ward.
Su Qingxin stared blankly at the ID and bank card in her hand, and then at Wei Ran's departing back, somewhat confused. After a long time, she realized that Wei Ran was blaming her for leaving the hotel without saying goodbye.
Thinking of this, Su Qingxin couldn't help but laugh.
She didn't dare to show such a smile in front of Wei Ran, and only dared to do so after he turned around.
She looked at the ID card in her hand. The boy on it still retained the innocence of an eighteen-year-old, green and sunny.
Su Qingxin remembered that because an ID card was required for the college entrance examination, Wei Ran took her to apply for an ID card when the tung flowers first bloomed in April.
That day, Wei Ran called Su Qingxin downstairs. When she opened the window, she saw Wei Ran looking up and waving at her vigorously.
"Su Qingxin! Come down quickly, Yang Ye and Pan Pan are waiting for us."
Su Qingxin packed her things and fixed her hair in front of the mirror. Wei Ran said that the ID card is valid for ten years, so the photo must look good.
That day, when each of them took their ID photos, the other three would stand opposite and tease the person taking the photo. So, among all the ID photos of the class, only the four of them looked the best.
It’s a pity that Su Qingxin didn’t bring her previous ID card with her from Feng’s house. In the photo on her current ID card, Su Qingxin had a blank expression on her face. Even Zhang Yishi looked down on her, saying that judging from the photo on the ID card, Su Qingxin looked older than him.
Su Qingxin held the "precious" thing Wei Ran gave her and lay down on the bed to rest.
Wei Ran, who went to the hotel to pick up his luggage, also got his luggage. In the taxi, he held Su Qingxin's backpack and found that the zipper of the small bag outside was not zipped up. When he helped her zip it up, it was stuck by something.
That was the red bracelet Wei Ran had given her, a very rough one.
It turns out...it turns out that she, like him, has kept this bracelet well for so many years.
Wei Ran rolled up his sleeves, and on his right wrist was the black bracelet that Su Qingxin had given him. Over the years, he had been wearing it, taking a shower, sleeping , and working, and he had never taken it off.
Su Qingxin still has this bracelet, she must still have her own in her heart, but why doesn't she admit it? Wei Ran is puzzled.
In the past few years, besides the things Su Qingxin said, what else happened to her...
The more Wei Ran thought about it, the more complicated it became. He stuffed the red bracelet into his small bag and zipped it up.
When we arrived at the hospital again, Su Qingxin was already asleep.
Wei Ran did not disturb her. He looked at the documents tightly held in her hand and could not help but smile comfortingly. Wei Ran reached out and gently held Su Qingxin's hand, saying, "Qingxin, no matter what happened to you, no matter how you treated me, I will protect you for the rest of my life, even if it means sacrificing my own life."
Wei Ran spent that night with Su Qingxin.
One was lying on the bed and the other was beside the bed.
The next morning, Su Qingxin had completed all the injections she needed, and the nurse took her to the doctor for a follow-up visit. Wei Ran also got up early to accompany her. Su Qingxin followed the nurse to many outpatient clinics, and Wei Ran wanted to follow, but was rejected by Su Qingxin.
An hour later, Su Qingxin returned to the ward.
Wei Ran saw that she looked bad, so he secretly asked the doctor about Su Qingxin's condition. The doctor told him that Su Qingxin was fine, but she had to make sure she didn't catch a cold in the next few days. The weather outside was too cold, so she shouldn't be exposed to the cold wind.
Wei Ran agreed and went back to the ward to see Su Qingxin.
Su Qingxin curled up on the bed, holding a pillow in her arms.
Wei Ran stood by the bed and said, "Be careful, the doctor said to be careful not to catch a cold again."
"I know." Su Qingxin replied.
Wei Ran leaned over and covered Su Qingxin with the quilt. Su Qingxin's eyes moved, and she hesitated to speak.
"I'll call the client and see if the contract signing time can be postponed." Wei Ran said again.
Su Qingxin hugged the pillow tightly and said, "No need, Wei Ran, go and sign the contract at noon. I won't go. I give up this contract."
"You give up?" Wei Ran didn't understand.
Su Qingxin still kept curling up and said, "Yes, I give up. When I go back, at most I will be scolded by my boss and have some money deducted. I was already sick, so the punishment shouldn't be that serious. Don't delay signing the contract for me, just go ahead."
"Have you really decided to give up?" Wei Ran asked with a frown.
Su Qingxin got up and smiled at Wei Ran, "Yes, you don't want me to go out and sign a contract and come back sick, right? Besides, my opponent is you, and I don't want to lose this battle and sacrifice my health."
Seeing her say that, Wei Ran didn't say anything more. He said, "Okay, I'll go over there first and come back to see you."
Su Qingxin nodded.
Wei Ran looked at the time on his watch and decided to rush to the place where they had agreed to meet.
After Wei Ran left, Su Qingxin opened her mobile phone and booked a flight back to Hefei at 2 pm on WeChat.
She deliberately sent Wei Ran away. Wei Ran would have dinner with the client after discussing the contract, so he would definitely not come back so early. Since she had already hidden so many things from Wei Ran, it wouldn't matter if she hid one more thing, right?
Su Qingxin took out the red bracelet from her backpack and put it back on her wrist.
At one o'clock, Su Qingxin went to go through the discharge procedures. Just as she was about to leave the hospital, she heard someone in the hall asking "Which ward is Su Qingxin in?"
The person asking the question was a courier boy.
Before the nurse at the front desk could answer, Su Qingxin walked over and said, "I am Su Qingxin."
"Hello, Miss Su." The courier boy greeted her with a smile, handed her a courier document, and said, "This is from Mr. Wei Ran. He said he is busy right now and can't give it to you in person."
"What is this?" Su Qingxin took it and asked curiously.
The courier boy smiled brightly, revealing his neat white teeth, and said, "We have to keep this confidential for our customers. Goodbye, Miss Su." After that, he ran out with the courier bag on his back.
Although Su Qingxin was curious, she didn't look at it for long. She stuffed the express into the bag at the bottom of the suitcase and rushed to the airport.
On the plane, Su Qingxin opened the package, which was wrapped tightly with kraft paper. Su Qingxin patiently opened the kraft paper and found that only four thin pages were left of the originally thick document.
These four pages of paper were exactly the contract that Su Qingxin was going to sign with the Beijing company! It had already been signed and stamped with the company's official seal. Now all Su Qingxin needed to do was take it back, sign her own name, and stamp it with the gorgeous official seal, and the contract would be established.
But...but wasn't this document in my hands? Why did Wei Ran take it with him?
For a moment, Su Qingxin's thoughts were in a mess. She thought she could hide the truth from Wei Ran, but she didn't expect that she would fall into the trap set by Wei Ran. He had seen through her thoughts long ago, secretly took out the contract from the suitcase, went to the appointment alone, abandoned Guokang's interests, and helped her sign the contract.
But why did he do this?
Su Qingxin felt that she was not worthy of him doing this at all!
A tear fell on the contract, making the color of the type darker.
Su Qingxin didn't know when the plane landed, and Chi Yuecheng met her at the airport. She walked out absentmindedly, without seeing Chi Yuecheng. Chi Yuecheng grabbed her shoulders, straightened her body, and shouted: "Su Qingxin, have you lost your soul?"
She didn't lose her soul, she lost herself and her past.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Qingxin becoming distraught after her trip to Beijing, Chi Yuecheng asked worriedly.
Su Qingxin shook her head, gently held Chi Yuecheng's clothes, and said, "Let's go back, Acheng."
Seeing Su Qingxin's appearance, Chi Yuecheng didn't ask any more questions. He took her into the car and sent her home safely.
After returning home, Su Qingxin refused Chi Yuecheng's company and drew the curtains tightly. Even though it was still light outside, there was no light in the room.
She lay in bed, feeling overwhelmed by so many things that she didn't know which one to tackle first.
The medical record that the doctor gave me this morning is still on the desk, and the words the doctor said are still lingering in my ears.
"Su Qingxin, your cold this time is caused by a virus, and your personal emotions have also affected it. Based on the recurrence of eye pain before, I suspect that this cold has caused inflammation of your cornea. You'd better go to the ophthalmology department for a check-up."
"Your cornea is inflamed. Don't use computers and mobile phones anymore. Get enough rest and protect your eyes." said the doctor in the ophthalmology department.
"Then doctor, can corneal inflammation be controlled?" Su Qingxin asked.
"It's hard to say, but you have to prepare for the worst."
"What's the worst-case scenario?"
"Blindness, possible removal of the eye."
When Su Qingxin heard the news, she felt as if she had been dealt a fatal blow. She staggered a few steps, tightly grasped the medical record in her hand, and asked the doctor again: "I understand, doctor, thank you. But can you promise me that I will not tell the boy waiting for me outside about my condition? I don't want him to worry."
Only after getting the doctor's consent did Su Qingxin leave the clinic.
Her heart was filled with fear, panic and confusion. She was afraid that Wei Ran would see through her, so she could only try her best to pretend that nothing had happened.
But what will happen in the future? Will she really go blind? By then, will she be unable to see anything in this world? Including the scenery she wants to see and the people she wants to meet.
Thinking of this, Su Qingxin pulled up the quilt and covered herself tightly.
She doesn't know what the future will be like, but whether it is painful or happy, she will be prepared and learn to accept it.
After returning to the company, Su Qingxin handed the contract to her boss without signing her name on it. She said, "All bonuses will be counted on every member of my marketing department. Next, this project will be handed over to someone else. I want to resign."
Su Qingxin's decision shocked everyone in the company. She did not give any convincing reasons, but she acted very decisively.
According to Su Qingxin's performance, she would definitely be promoted to a higher position if she worked in the marketing department for another two or three years, but she gave up just like that and also gave up the important contract she had just obtained.
No one knows what she is thinking.
"Qingxin, what happened? Why did you suddenly resign?" Zhu Panpan was worried, so after Su Qingxin came out of the Human Resources Department, she grabbed her and asked.
Su Qingxin smiled tiredly: "Nothing, I'm just very tired recently and don't want to do it anymore."
"If you're tired, why don't you take a leave and rest? Qingxin, if you weren't here, I don't know how to work." Zhu Panpan shook Su Qingxin's hand with a wronged look on her face.
Su Qingxin coaxed her and said, "You didn't know I was here when you came for the interview before, so why are you here? You can't always rely on me, right? If you have any work troubles, you can come to me anytime. I'm just leaving the company, not leaving you."
"I just don't want it." Zhu Panpan held Su Qingxin in a naughty manner and refused to let go.
Su Qingxin patted her back helplessly and said, "Okay, I still have to go back. Ah Cheng is waiting for me in the car."
There was no other way. No matter how reluctant Zhu Panpan was, she had to let Su Qingxin go.
In the past, Su Qingxin was her boss. Even if she made a mistake and Su Qingxin scolded her, she would not be afraid or feel pressured. But it would be different if it was someone else. If it was someone else, she would have to be careful in everything she did.
For some reason, Zhu Panpan felt that Su Qingxin's departure this time made her feel particularly uneasy, just like the inexplicable panic she felt five years ago.
