Love for Three Lives: Cui Cui Rebirth
Chapter 49
Huan'er's short sentence turned Chi Rui's anger into deep worry.
Wu Cuicui, why do you just make me... make me flustered and worried?
Dragging his coat down and throwing it on the ground, Chi Rui snatched a bucket from a soldier and poured the full bucket of water on himself.
Before everyone could react, he was ready to rush in...
"Why is Wu Cuicui in there?" The cold muzzle of the gun touched Qiangwei's temple, Long Tianze pulled her collar and asked viciously, "How dare you lie to me?"
"I, I didn't—" Qiangwei was so frightened that her legs trembled, "I really didn't know that Mrs. Chi was in there."
Long Tianze grabbed her by the wrist and threw her to the ground, and ordered to the subordinates beside him, "Lock this woman up for me, watch it."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took off his clothes, followed Chi Rui's example and poured water on himself, intending to go in to save others.
"Stop them for me—" Shen Hu waved his hands to his subordinates, and ordered in a cold voice, "Don't allow Staff Chi and Adjutant Long to step in."
Compared to Wu Cuicui, Shen Hu certainly valued Chi Rui and Long Tianze more. Now that the fire is so big, it is absolutely impossible for him to let the two successors he fancy take risks.
This is probably the first time Long Tianze resisted Shen Hu's opinion, and he was still with his arch-rival Chi Rui, so it is really memorable.
Everyone who was busy fighting the fire just now put down their barrels and basins one after another, and stood in front of the two of them.
Without further ado, Chi Rui stepped forward and beat up the two of them.
Chi Rui's skills are actually very good, but he was born in a merchant's family, coupled with that kind of handsome face, he is more likely to confuse people.
Now that Cuicui's life or death is uncertain inside, he naturally doesn't care about his image, and makes fierce moves. The few soldiers who were going to hold him down just now are lying on the ground crying with their broken wrists.
After clearing most of the obstacles, just as he was about to continue his steps, another man who was not afraid of death blocked the factory door with his arms outstretched.
"Go away—" Chi Rui has always been a gentle person, especially when dealing with servants, this is the first time he has spoken to Ah Si in such a cold and harsh voice, "Ah Si, have you not listened to me? ?”
"Master, the fire is really too big, Ah Si can't let you in." Even without Shen Hu's order, Ah Si would definitely stop his young master.
Chi Rui didn't speak any more, but threw him over his shoulder and knocked him to the ground.
"Master—" Ah Si didn't rush to stand up after falling, but hugged Chi Rui's leg tightly, "Master, there are old lady and two young masters at home, if you have something Three long and two short, what do you want them to do?"
Ah Si's words are very reasonable. Now that Cui Cui is trapped in the fire, no matter whether someone goes in to rescue her, the ending is the same, but Chi Rui is different. If he goes in, he may not be able to get out.
Taking a deep breath, Chi Rui kicked Ah Si away with bloodshot eyes, and said, "...if Wu Cuicui dies, what do you want me to do?"
Cui Cui is not only his wife, but also the person he loves the most, and his spiritual pillar all the time. He can't imagine the life without her in the future.
If Wu Cuicui is really gone, Ning'er and He'er are arguing for their mother to do this?
If Wu Cuicui is really gone, can he withstand the blow again like the one in Qingfengzhai?
If Wu Cuicui is really gone, then Chi Rui is gone too...
Pulling out the gun from his arms, Chi Rui aimed it at Ah Si, "I'll say it one last time, get out of the way, or I'll start a robbery."
Such a ruthless Chi Rui made people feel a little timid, but Ah Si raised his head and said, "Master, your gun is soaked in water and can no longer be used. Ah Si is not afraid of you."
"..."
I'll go, Ah Si, are you here to be funny! !
Is it really okay to say such a funny thing in such a serious time? ?
Well, when Chi Rui poured water on himself just now, the gun did get wet too...
Throwing away the gun in his hand, Chi Rui continued to walk forward with a cold face.
Just when he was about to enter the fire scene, suddenly a... rope was thrown from the wall next to the factory?No, it should be a rope twisted from strips of cloth, and water is still dripping from it.
An iron hook was tied to one end of the cloth rope, and it was tightly hooked to the top of the wall.
Just when everyone was wondering, Chi Rui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Get the ladder quickly."
Now there is not only the powerless Cui Cui in the fire scene, but also the bandit leader Xiang Tian. Regarding Xiang Tian's skills, Chi Rui believes that he can save himself.
Hearing that his young master stopped playing with fire, Ah Si immediately ran to find a ladder.
After the ladder was brought, Chi Rui climbed up first. He propped his hands on the edge of the wall and looked down, and saw that Xiang Tian was carrying the unconscious Cui Cui on his back and was about to pull the rope to climb up.
"Xiangtian, hold me." Chi Rui handed Xiangtian his hand without hesitation for him to borrow strength.
Just now he knocked out Cui Cui in the fire scene, made cloth ropes, and then climbed the wall with weights, which was nothing to Xiang Tian at ordinary times, but now he has injuries and is still running a high fever.
After Cui Cui was safely picked up by Chi Rui, Xiang Tian passed out as soon as he crossed the wall.
"Si, go and drive the car over here. Huan'er, go to Gu's Medical Center and find Dr. Gu to come to Chi's residence." Chi Rui covered Cui Cui with the coat he took off just now, and ran out with her in his arms.
Shen Hu heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Xiangtian and Cuicui were still alive, and asked people to prop up the unconscious Xiangtian, and ordered some people to stay behind to put out the fire and return to the Governor's Mansion.
Because Xiangtian covered Cui Cui's mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, Cui Cui didn't inhale the smoke, but her eyes had problems again.
Considering that Grandma Chi was also in the room, Gu Zhiyuan specially called Chi Rui out.
"Doctor Gu, just speak up if you have something to say, how is Cui Cui's condition?" Chi Rui's face was still calm, but his clenched fists had already turned white, and he could guess that Cui Cui's condition was not good.
"It's not a big problem, it's just that Cuicui's eyes—" Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "Her glasses were blind for a while because of staying in the snow for too long, this time they were smoked again, maybe Go blind again."
Human eyes are very fragile, and sometimes even a single eyelash falling in can be uncomfortable for a long time, not to mention that Cuicui is still smoked by thick smoke for a long time in the fire.
Chi Rui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The factory was burned and Cuicui was injured again. His sanity was really running out.
"Is there anything else I can do? About Cui Cui's eyes." Now he doesn't want anything but Cui Cui's safety.
"We have to wait for Cui Cui to wake up before we can know the specific situation." Gu Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "Don't tell the old lady yet, Cui Cui is the most filial, and she won't want the old lady to worry about her."
"I see." Chi Rui nodded, "Thank you very much."
After sending Gu Zhiyuan away, Chi Rui went to the well in the outer courtyard and fetched a bucket of well water, and splashed several handfuls of ice-cold water on his face.
The biting cold made people shiver, but Chi Rui didn't think it was enough.
There is a fire burning in his heart, which cannot be extinguished, what should we do?
After splashing a few more times, the splashed water wet the front of his clothes, and the dry clothes he had just put on were now more than half damp again.
About an hour later, Chi Rui waited until he had completely calmed down before going back to the study to change his clothes, and then went to find Mrs. Chi.
What should be faced must be faced, isn't it?
"Grandma, the factory burned down a lot, and it's almost impossible to restore the previous situation." Chi Rui carefully observed his grandma's expression, and said tactfully, "But the warlord in our factory was a shareholder, he It's impossible to just watch Chi's factory close down like this, and he doesn't want to lose everything."
The main responsibility this time lies with Long Tianze, it is absolutely impossible for Chi Rui to let this matter pass by so easily.
Grandma Chi rubbed her brows and said wearily, "As long as people are fine, if something happens to Cuicui, what will happen to the two children Ning'er and Heer? You can figure out the factory affairs, grandma believes you."
"Thank you grandma."
After helping Grandma Chi into the house to rest, Chi Rui immediately rushed back to see Cuicui.
Just now, Xiangtian poured water on her body, so Cui Cui was not burned, but just passed out temporarily, Gu Zhiyuan said that she would wake up tonight.
After repelling the maid, Chi Rui stood by the bed and took care of Cuicui.
Clenching Cui Cui's hand and sticking it to his face, Chi Rui sighed deeply, "Cui Cui, I'm sorry, I realized that I haven't been able to take good care of you..."
He was blaming himself, why did he always put Cui Cui in danger?
Although sometimes it is not his fault, as a husband, shouldn't it be the most basic responsibility to protect his wife?
Chi Rui always hopes that he can give Cuicui happiness and give her the best, but he can't even do the most basic protection of her safety.
His husband is really dereliction of duty.
I don't know how long he sat by the bed, Chi Rui suddenly noticed that the fingers on his face moved slightly, and he tried to lean over and shout a few times, "Cui Cui? Cui Cui?"
Cui Cui felt that she was walking on a very dark road, and the surrounding was very hot, and her eyes were very uncomfortable due to the scorching temperature. She heard someone calling herself, a very familiar voice, is it Chi Rui?
"Chi Rui...?" She closed her eyes and called out, "Hot, so hot..."
"Hot?" Chi Rui thought that Cui Cui had a fever, so he stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, but found that it was not hot, "Cui Cui, why do you feel hot? Are you on your body?"
Chi Rui's voice became clearer and clearer, Cui Cui tried hard to open her eyes to respond to him, but there was no light in front of her eyes, "Chi Rui? Where are you?"
"I'm here." Chi Rui shook Cui Cui's hand slightly, "I'm right beside you."
Cui Cui shook Chi Rui back, and after feeling the familiar palm prints, she turned her face slightly and asked in confusion, "Chi Rui? Where are we? Why is it so dark?"
She opened her eyes again, but it was still pitch black, and Chi Rui's non-response made her panic, "Chi Rui? Can you hear me? Where are we?"
Cui Cui's words made Chi Rui's heart go cold again and again, but Gu Zhiyuan said he was right, Cui Cui really went blind again.
Looking back at the brightly lit room, Chi Rui calmed down his emotions, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, this is the Chi Mansion, our room."
"Our room...?" Cui Cui got up slightly and sniffed. The hand not held by Chi Rui rubbed the quilt on her body carefully. The smell and touch seemed to be really at home.
"It's our room." Chi Rui held Cuicui's hand and pressed it to his face, "Take a look, I'm here too, how could I lie to you?"
"But, but—" Cui Cui rubbed her eyes, "Why is it so dark?"
"Because it's dark outside." Lying to his beloved, Chi Rui was somewhat flustered.
"Then why don't you light the lamp?" Cui Cui asked confusedly, "Is there no lamp in the room?"
"Because I was crying, I didn't want the servants to see me, so I asked them to turn off the lights." Enduring the pain in his heart, Chi Rui leaned down and kissed Cuicui's eyes lightly, "I know you are in the fire scene You were taken aback when you were rescued by Xiang Tian, and you passed out after being rescued by Xiang Tian, I thought you would never wake up, so I cried a lot."
"Big fire...?" Cui Cui froze for a moment, her mind was rapidly thinking about what happened before she fell into a coma.
During the day, I met Xiang Tian, and then rescued him by myself, and then, the factory caught fire!The fire was so big, I wanted to put out the fire, but was knocked out by Xiangtian...
"Factory, Chi Rui, how's the factory?" Cui Cui anxiously wanted to get up, "There's a fire in the factory, I want to put it out, but it's too big, I can't put it out."
Chi Rui lay down on the bed, and lovingly wrapped the person on the bed into his arms, "It's fine, as long as you're fine."
"I'm sorry." Cui Cui turned sideways and buried her head in Chi Rui's chest, "I'm sorry, Chi Rui. I failed to protect your dream. I can only watch it burn. I'm really sorry... ..."
Powerlessness is a very sad feeling.
Cui Cui felt this way when she was in the fire, she had no way to stop the damage, she could only watch it happen in front of her eyes.
She said, "Chi Rui, I really hate myself for being useless."
Why can't he stop it even though he has relived his life again?
Feeling that his collar was slightly wet, Chi Rui hurriedly wiped away Cuicui's tears with his sleeves. Her eyes are not good now, so she can't shed tears.
"It's not your fault." Chi Rui calmed Cui Cui's agitated emotions with gentle movements and tone, "For me, only your safety is the most important thing."
The dream is gone, you can create another one.
If the person in front of him is gone, as he said to Ah Si, then he can't live on.
Cui Cui nestled in Chi Rui's arms, listening to his soft voice, sobbed for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.
Chi Rui lay motionless on the bed, but his thoughts kept churning. Today is a secret, but what about tomorrow?Cui Cui will eventually find herself blind again.
"Alas—" Chi Rui planted a kiss on her forehead with a deep sense of pity.
Cui Cui felt that she had slept for a long time, but it didn't seem to be long, because it was still dark when she opened her eyes.
Is it not yet dawn?
She reached out her hand to touch Chi Rui's seat, and found that the bed was empty, and the cool touch proved that the person who was lying on it should have been up for a while.
Even in a completely dark environment, as long as the human eyes adapt for a period of time, they can still see things weakly.Besides, Cui Cui didn't believe that there would be no light at all outside the window.
Lying quietly for a while, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
The fact that she tried her best to widen her eyes but couldn't see a shadow made her a little panicked. Could it be that she was blind again?
"Chi Rui? Chi Rui, are you there?" Propping herself up on her elbows, Cui Cui fumbled to open the curtain beside the bed, and asked with a slightly raised voice, "Is anyone there?"
Huan'er, who was resting outside, heard her voice and ran in immediately, "Young Mistress, you are awake, Huan'er is here, what are you going to do?"
Cui Cui stretched out her hand in the direction of the voice and touched it a few times, "Huan'er, what time is it now?"
"It's already noon." Without noticing what was wrong with Cuicui, Huan'er said frankly, "Young master went to deal with the factory affairs early this morning, and told me to stay here to guard you."
"...It's noon?" Cui Cui repeated her words in a daze.
Blinking her eyes hard again, then raising her hand and shaking it in front of her face, she found that there was still no shadow in her eyes.
Could it be... really blind again?
Cuicui stretched out her hand and groped for Huan'er's wrist, and said softly, "Huan'er, listen to me, don't make noise, don't make a fuss, go secretly to Gu's Medical Center, and invite your adoptive father here." one trip."
"Doctor Gu?" Huan'er was a little puzzled, "Young Mistress, is there something wrong with you?"
"I—" Cui Cui hesitated for a while but still didn't say it, "You just do it. Also, call Wan'er over, if someone asks you, just say I'm not awake, understand?"
"Oh—" Huan'er nodded with full of doubts.
After Huan'er left, Cui Cui slowly tried to straighten up and sit on the head of the bed, reaching out to fumble for her clothes.For her who had been blind once, the dark days were not hard to bear.
When Wan'er came in, Cui Cui had already put on her clothes and coat by herself.
"Young Mistress." Wan'er naturally walked over to help Cuicui up, "Is Young Mistress hungry? Do you want Wan'er to prepare some food for you?"
Cui Cui suddenly changed her mind, turned to Wan'er and smiled at her, "Wan'er, am I pretty?"
"Ah?" Wan'er was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded, "Wan'er thinks young mistress is the most beautiful, she was beautiful before marrying young master, and she is also beautiful after marrying young master."
"Really?" Cui Cui blinked and smiled, "You look good too, today's makeup matches you very well."
Wan'er didn't notice anything unusual, but slightly lowered her head shyly, "The young mistress is the only one who is beautiful, and Wan'er can't compare to the young mistress."
"I'm a little tired after lying down for a long time. Help me to sit down at the table, and then bring me some snacks." Cuicui stood up with Wan'er's strength, and silently counted steps towards the table in her heart.
For a whole hour and a half, before Gu Zhiyuan came, Wan'er didn't realize that Cui Cui was blind.
When she heard Gu Zhiyuan's diagnosis, Wan'er almost screamed, "How is this possible? Doctor Gu, did you read it wrong? The young mistress was still chatting with me just now, and I helped her walk into the yard How could she be blind?"
"I pretended that." Cui Cui recognized Wan'er's position through her voice slightly, cast her empty eyes on her, tilted her head and said, "Am I very powerful?"
"Young Mistress—" Wan'er's voice was slightly crying, how could she be so careless!
"Cui Cui, don't you want the old lady to worry?" Gu Zhiyuan asked tentatively, "You don't intend to keep pretending, do you?"
Gu Zhiyuan's question came to the point, Cui Cui lowered her head a little guilty, "I really wanted to prevent too many people from knowing about my blindness, now that something happened in the factory, grandma must be very sad, as I Granddaughter-in-law can't help her old man share her worries, at least she can stop her from worrying."
"Oh." Gu Zhiyuan sighed pitifully, "After all, this is not a long-term solution. What about Chi Rui? Are you planning to hide it from him too?"
"It's impossible. Chi Rui is too smart, I can't hide it from him." Cui Cui played with her fingers, pretending to be relaxed, "He probably found out last night, I can't see it."
Thinking about it now, Cui Cui suddenly realized why Chi Rui's voice trembled last night.
In fact, there was light in the room at that time, right?
Because he didn't want to make himself sad when he found out the fact that he was blind, he purposely made up a lie that he didn't want others to see him when he cried.
"Father, now I can only trouble you to help me keep it a secret. It's best that only a few of us know about this." Cui Cui begged and pulled Gu Zhiyuan's sleeve to act like a spoiled child, "Please, father, you Just help me this time."
"...I see." It really hurts when some children become sensible.
Gu Zhiyuan sighed deeply, not knowing whether to be relieved or sad.After leaving a note and a prescription, he shook his head helplessly and left.
"Wan'er, Huan'er." Sitting at the table, Cui Cui said solemnly to the two of them, "Listen well, what Dr. Gu said today, and my situation, must not reveal a word, especially In front of the old lady."
Wan'er and Huan'er looked at each other, and said in unison with bitter faces, "Yes—"
"Young Mistress, can you hide it?" After holding back for a while, Wan'er still asked, "Your eyes can't see, what should you do if you have trouble moving?"
Wan'er doesn't understand, it's easy to hide other illnesses, but how can she hide her blindness?
"So I have to rely on you." Cui Cui reached out and grabbed Wan'er's wrist, and said solemnly, "Wan'er, from now on I will be taken care of by you and Huan'er in my daily life. Remind me quietly in my ear, don't let people see the flaws, you understand?"
After waiting for a while without hearing an answer, Cui Cui shook the hand she was holding tightly, "Wan'er, you are talking."
"Young Mistress, it's not Wan'er you're pulling, it's me, I'm Huan'er." Huan'er laughed a few times, stepped forward and squatted in front of Cuicui, took her hand and put it on her face, "Don't believe me You touch my face."
"Uh——" Cui Cui was a little speechless, "I, I will try not to admit my mistakes in the future."
Wan'er and Huan'er looked at each other, sighed silently, deeply worried about the future of their young mistress!
Chi Rui came to the Governor's Mansion early this morning, one is because he has to come to work, and the other is to ask for an explanation.
Shen Hu was very fair, he paid for the loss of Chi's factory, Long Tianze was also given a whip, but Xiangtian still wanted Chi Rui to explain why he was in Chi's factory.
Everyone knows the relationship between Ling Xue and Cui Cui, they are not real sisters, but they are better than real sisters, so it is not surprising that the Chi family is harboring Xiang Tian.
"I don't know." Even facing Shen Hu directly, Chi Rui was still very calm, "I don't know why Xiang Tian is in Chi's factory."
"Do you think I'll believe what you say?" Shen Hu sat at the desk and calmly blew out a smoke ring, "Chi Rui, I know you don't and you don't like to lie, think it over before answering."
"I don't know." Chi Rui didn't even think about it, but still blurted out these four words.
Afterwards, from Huan'er's words, he could guess that Cui Cui really wanted to protect Xiang Tian, but he really didn't know how Xiang Tian got involved.
Maybe just ran there, and it was a good hiding place.
"That's all." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Shen Hu could only shake his head helplessly, "I will not pursue the matter of why Xiangtian is in Chi's factory for the time being. You should prepare now and leave for the provincial capital in three days' time."
Three days later, there was an arms deal in the provincial capital. Originally, Shen Hu planned to let Long Tianze go. After all, he had been doing this before, but the whipping yesterday might make him unable to move for a while.
Chi Rui still had that calm face, and left Shen Hu's study after taking over the place and time of the transaction.
It was already night when he returned to the mansion, and he heard that Cui Cui had woken up and had dinner with Grandma Chi, so he hurried to his yard immediately.
Impossible, impossible, Cui Cui obviously can't see it.
Chi Rui is now full of doubts.
"Cui Cui." As soon as he entered the room, he walked to the dressing table and pulled Cui Cui up, "I just heard from the housekeeper that you had dinner with grandma? Your eyes...?"
Cui Cui caressed his hand holding her shoulder, and smiled slightly, "I really can't see, I just pretended in front of grandma, isn't it pretty good?"
Wan'er was always helping her prepare vegetables during the meal just now, but fortunately Grandma Chi saw that she was frightened yesterday, so she specially ordered the kitchen to cook a big pot of chicken soup for her. I was full and couldn't eat anything, so I didn't reveal the stuffing.
"You—" Chi Rui stretched out his hand and poked her on the head, "I really don't know what to say about you."
"You should praise me for being smart." Cui Cui took Chi Rui's arm and said proudly, "How about it? Husband, I can help you change your clothes, do you want to try?"
"Okay." Chi Rui immediately took her hand and put it on his collar, "Come on."
"what--?"
I didn't expect Chi Rui to be so calm, but Cui Cui panicked a little. When she put on her own clothes, she always buttoned them by feeling her hands. Now if she wants to help Chi Rui undress, do she have to touch him? touch it?
Besides, the clothes are okay, what about the pants?
As if he didn't notice the blush on Cuicui's face, Chi Rui secretly raised the corner of his mouth and urged, "Madam, please hurry up, please? I'm very hungry."
"..." This reason is too fake, if you are hungry, go eat, why take off your clothes?
"It's uncomfortable to eat in this dress." Chi Rui explained as if he had seen through Cui Cui's thoughts.
"..." This reason is even more false!Do you like to eat without clothes?
When she helped Chi Rui change his clothes and trousers with trembling hands, Cui Cui's face was already red like something.
Just now, she touched all the places on Chi Rui's body that should be touched, and the places that should not be touched, but Chi Rui still didn't understand that she was a patient, and kept laughing and laughing beside her, Cui Cui who laughed was getting worse and worse. Excuse me.
Chi Rui felt much more comfortable after putting on his robe, and took Cui Cui to sit at the table while eating and talking to her about today's events.
"Why did you bring me to the provincial capital to discuss business?" Cui Cui tilted her head puzzled, "I've never been to the provincial capital, and I can't see it now, aren't you afraid that I might get lost?"
Chi Rui put down the bowl, pinched Cui Cui's face with his hands, "How could I let you get lost? I just want to take you to the provincial capital to have a good check."
"what to check for?"
"Check your eyes." Chi Rui took a piece of chicken and fed it to Cui Cui's mouth, "Open your mouth."
Cui Cui obediently opened her mouth and took a bite of the meat that Chi Rui fed, and asked while chewing, "But didn't foster father say that my eyes depend on the situation? Maybe ten days and a half months, or a few months , it depends on my physical condition."
"Traditional Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis is not as thorough as western medicine's examination." Chi Rui turned his face and stared into her eyes and said, "Besides, I won't be at home for nearly half a month this time around, you and Wan'er still have a relationship." What if the three idiots show their secrets in front of grandma?"
"That's right." Cui Cui nodded.
If Chi Rui wasn't at home, what would he do if something he couldn't see was exposed?If he was there, there would be someone to help lie.
Besides, isn't going to the provincial capital just a reason to keep grandma from finding out?
only……
"Who are you calling stupid?" Cui Cui raised her hand and patted Chi Rui's back hard, "Why are Wan'er, Wan'er and I stupid?"
"Heh—" Chi Rui not only didn't get angry, but laughed instead.
"What are you laughing at?" Cui Cui couldn't see, she was a little confused by his sudden laughter, "Chi Rui, what are you laughing at?"
"Young Mistress—" Huan'er standing in front of the table answered Cui Cui's question, "You didn't hit the young master, it was me! I was feeding the young master just now."
"Ah?" Cui Cui's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't it?"
Cui Cui just hit the person on her left just out of feeling. Chi Rui was sitting there, but it happened that he had finished his bowl of rice and asked Huan'er to bring another bowl. She was slapped on the back of her hand by Cui Cui's hard slap.
"Haha——" Chi Rui laughed louder, isn't this really funny?
"...I'm sorry Huan'er." TAT...
In the end, Cui Cui was still included among those who went to the provincial capital, and Wan'er and Huan'er went together.
The road to the provincial capital is far away, and Cui Cui can't see the scenery along the road, so she can only lean against Chi Rui's arms, but his gentle voice is so hypnotic that she fell asleep while shaking.
I don't know how long it has passed, but when Cuicui woke up, she always felt a little weird, why the material of her clothes didn't feel like the one she wore in the morning, and there was no familiar smell on the bedding.
"Chi Rui?" She straightened up from the bed and called out twice tentatively, "Chi Rui? Huan'er? Are you there?"
"Stop shouting, Chi Rui is not here." A deep male voice suddenly sounded not far away.
"Who are you?" Cui Cui moved back a little vigilantly, leaning her back against the head of the bed and asked, "Where is this?"
The people in the room slowly got up, walked to the bed and sat down, and sprayed Cui Cui's face with strong alcohol breath, "Can't you hear my voice?"
This teasing tone, could it be...?
"Long Tianze?" Cui Cui turned to look at him with empty eyes, "Is that you? Long Tianze?"
"It's me—" Long Tianze stretched out his hand to touch Cui Cui's face with a smile, "I snatched you here."
Long Tianze's words made Cuicui's heart sink, could it be that she was really captured by Long Tianze?Does Chi Rui know?I can't see it with my own eyes, and there is no possibility of escape.
Slightly calming down, Cui Cui pulled out a sarcastic smile, "Long Tianze, do you think you can lock me up? Chi Rui will definitely come to rescue me."
"Really?" Long Tianze moved closer, stretched out his hand to hold Cui Cui's chin, "What is he doing here? To catch a traitor? To see me sleeping with you?"
Cui Cui grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at him vigorously, "Release me."
"Hiss——" Cui Cui slapped Long Tianze's shoulder with a pillow just now, pulling his wound from the whip just now, and immediately let him gasp.
"Stop pretending, I didn't use much force just now." Cui Cui pulled the quilt to her chest to wrap herself up, and listened vigilantly to Long Tianze's movements.
"Hehe, I know you're not willing to beat me." Long Tianze laughed meanly, "It's just that I had to work hard to open the window just now, and it hurt my wound."
Turn the window?
Cuicui keenly understood the key words, wasn't she kidnapped by Long Tianze?Logically speaking, shouldn't this be his territory?Why did he turn over the window?
"I didn't take you away. There are Chi Rui's people outside the door. Is it possible for me to take you away?" Long Tianze let go of Cuicui's chin, stood up and took another sip from the wine at the table , "You are in the hospital, the hospital in the provincial capital."
"Hospital?" Cui Cui remembered to pull the quilt and smell it carefully, and it really smelled strongly of disinfectant.
"I heard that he brought you to the provincial capital, so I followed all the way. Unexpectedly, I followed all the way to the hospital and discovered a big secret." Long Tianze stood by the bed, looking at Cui Cui's pair of crippled eyes with guilt. God's big glazed eyes.
Originally, those eyes were so beautiful, but it was a pity that they were all destroyed by his fire...
Taking another sip of wine, Long Tianze asked in a deep voice, "Wu Cuicui, let me ask you one last time, are you willing to leave Chi Rui and follow me? I will definitely treat you wholeheartedly."
Are you single-minded?
Hearing this word again from Long Tianze, a playboy, Cui Cui felt filled with emotion.
She who was bruised and bruised by Chi Rui in her previous life would not agree, let alone her who is happy in this life?
It's just that I always feel a little guilty in my heart. People who have lived two lifetimes have matured and are no longer as young and vigorous as before.
She said, "Long Tianze, I love Chi Rui, I love my family, I love my two children, there is no way I will go with you."
She said, "We are not suitable. I don't like you. Even if I leave with you, I won't be happy. Why do you cling to someone who doesn't love you?"
She said, "Give up, I'm living a happy life, I hope you... can be happy too."
If he didn't mutiny or go to extremes, Long Tianze was actually a young and promising officer. After all, he was the successor cultivated by Shen Hu himself. His ending should not be death.
Although the words are a bit funny, but... Long Tianze really did it himself!
After waiting for a long time without hearing the sound, Cui Cui turned her head to where he was standing in doubt, "Long Tianze, are you still there?"
"What? Are you reluctant to let me go?" Long Tianze's teasing voice sounded again, "Or do you change your mind and want to go with me?"
"You'd better go, you sneaked in while Chi Rui and Huan'er were away?" Cui Cui also chuckled, "If you don't leave, when Chi Rui comes in later, the injury on your back may be serious." It couldn't get any better."
"Perhaps you should wait for Chi Rui to come to say this, and let him be jealous." Long Tianze put the lid on the wine bottle and stuffed it back into his pocket, then picked up the peaked cap on the side and put it on, blowing Whistle, "I'm leaving, goodbye."
Cui Cui sat on the bed, quietly listening to him open the window, and then quickly turned over and went out.
After a long time, she murmured, "Cousin——"
In the world of love, there is no worth or not, there is always only willing or not.
Cui Cui knew that Chi Rui and Zhi Xia once had an agreement in the afterlife, and Zhi Xia told Chi Rui that she would definitely make it up to him in the next life.
But why wait until the next life?
Instead of making such illusory promises, why not cherish the present?
In the next life, can you guarantee that you will still meet each other?Even if we can meet
Wu Cuicui, why do you just make me... make me flustered and worried?
Dragging his coat down and throwing it on the ground, Chi Rui snatched a bucket from a soldier and poured the full bucket of water on himself.
Before everyone could react, he was ready to rush in...
"Why is Wu Cuicui in there?" The cold muzzle of the gun touched Qiangwei's temple, Long Tianze pulled her collar and asked viciously, "How dare you lie to me?"
"I, I didn't—" Qiangwei was so frightened that her legs trembled, "I really didn't know that Mrs. Chi was in there."
Long Tianze grabbed her by the wrist and threw her to the ground, and ordered to the subordinates beside him, "Lock this woman up for me, watch it."
After finishing speaking, he hurriedly took off his clothes, followed Chi Rui's example and poured water on himself, intending to go in to save others.
"Stop them for me—" Shen Hu waved his hands to his subordinates, and ordered in a cold voice, "Don't allow Staff Chi and Adjutant Long to step in."
Compared to Wu Cuicui, Shen Hu certainly valued Chi Rui and Long Tianze more. Now that the fire is so big, it is absolutely impossible for him to let the two successors he fancy take risks.
This is probably the first time Long Tianze resisted Shen Hu's opinion, and he was still with his arch-rival Chi Rui, so it is really memorable.
Everyone who was busy fighting the fire just now put down their barrels and basins one after another, and stood in front of the two of them.
Without further ado, Chi Rui stepped forward and beat up the two of them.
Chi Rui's skills are actually very good, but he was born in a merchant's family, coupled with that kind of handsome face, he is more likely to confuse people.
Now that Cuicui's life or death is uncertain inside, he naturally doesn't care about his image, and makes fierce moves. The few soldiers who were going to hold him down just now are lying on the ground crying with their broken wrists.
After clearing most of the obstacles, just as he was about to continue his steps, another man who was not afraid of death blocked the factory door with his arms outstretched.
"Go away—" Chi Rui has always been a gentle person, especially when dealing with servants, this is the first time he has spoken to Ah Si in such a cold and harsh voice, "Ah Si, have you not listened to me? ?”
"Master, the fire is really too big, Ah Si can't let you in." Even without Shen Hu's order, Ah Si would definitely stop his young master.
Chi Rui didn't speak any more, but threw him over his shoulder and knocked him to the ground.
"Master—" Ah Si didn't rush to stand up after falling, but hugged Chi Rui's leg tightly, "Master, there are old lady and two young masters at home, if you have something Three long and two short, what do you want them to do?"
Ah Si's words are very reasonable. Now that Cui Cui is trapped in the fire, no matter whether someone goes in to rescue her, the ending is the same, but Chi Rui is different. If he goes in, he may not be able to get out.
Taking a deep breath, Chi Rui kicked Ah Si away with bloodshot eyes, and said, "...if Wu Cuicui dies, what do you want me to do?"
Cui Cui is not only his wife, but also the person he loves the most, and his spiritual pillar all the time. He can't imagine the life without her in the future.
If Wu Cuicui is really gone, Ning'er and He'er are arguing for their mother to do this?
If Wu Cuicui is really gone, can he withstand the blow again like the one in Qingfengzhai?
If Wu Cuicui is really gone, then Chi Rui is gone too...
Pulling out the gun from his arms, Chi Rui aimed it at Ah Si, "I'll say it one last time, get out of the way, or I'll start a robbery."
Such a ruthless Chi Rui made people feel a little timid, but Ah Si raised his head and said, "Master, your gun is soaked in water and can no longer be used. Ah Si is not afraid of you."
"..."
I'll go, Ah Si, are you here to be funny! !
Is it really okay to say such a funny thing in such a serious time? ?
Well, when Chi Rui poured water on himself just now, the gun did get wet too...
Throwing away the gun in his hand, Chi Rui continued to walk forward with a cold face.
Just when he was about to enter the fire scene, suddenly a... rope was thrown from the wall next to the factory?No, it should be a rope twisted from strips of cloth, and water is still dripping from it.
An iron hook was tied to one end of the cloth rope, and it was tightly hooked to the top of the wall.
Just when everyone was wondering, Chi Rui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Get the ladder quickly."
Now there is not only the powerless Cui Cui in the fire scene, but also the bandit leader Xiang Tian. Regarding Xiang Tian's skills, Chi Rui believes that he can save himself.
Hearing that his young master stopped playing with fire, Ah Si immediately ran to find a ladder.
After the ladder was brought, Chi Rui climbed up first. He propped his hands on the edge of the wall and looked down, and saw that Xiang Tian was carrying the unconscious Cui Cui on his back and was about to pull the rope to climb up.
"Xiangtian, hold me." Chi Rui handed Xiangtian his hand without hesitation for him to borrow strength.
Just now he knocked out Cui Cui in the fire scene, made cloth ropes, and then climbed the wall with weights, which was nothing to Xiang Tian at ordinary times, but now he has injuries and is still running a high fever.
After Cui Cui was safely picked up by Chi Rui, Xiang Tian passed out as soon as he crossed the wall.
"Si, go and drive the car over here. Huan'er, go to Gu's Medical Center and find Dr. Gu to come to Chi's residence." Chi Rui covered Cui Cui with the coat he took off just now, and ran out with her in his arms.
Shen Hu heaved a sigh of relief seeing that Xiangtian and Cuicui were still alive, and asked people to prop up the unconscious Xiangtian, and ordered some people to stay behind to put out the fire and return to the Governor's Mansion.
Because Xiangtian covered Cui Cui's mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, Cui Cui didn't inhale the smoke, but her eyes had problems again.
Considering that Grandma Chi was also in the room, Gu Zhiyuan specially called Chi Rui out.
"Doctor Gu, just speak up if you have something to say, how is Cui Cui's condition?" Chi Rui's face was still calm, but his clenched fists had already turned white, and he could guess that Cui Cui's condition was not good.
"It's not a big problem, it's just that Cuicui's eyes—" Gu Zhiyuan sighed, "Her glasses were blind for a while because of staying in the snow for too long, this time they were smoked again, maybe Go blind again."
Human eyes are very fragile, and sometimes even a single eyelash falling in can be uncomfortable for a long time, not to mention that Cuicui is still smoked by thick smoke for a long time in the fire.
Chi Rui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. The factory was burned and Cuicui was injured again. His sanity was really running out.
"Is there anything else I can do? About Cui Cui's eyes." Now he doesn't want anything but Cui Cui's safety.
"We have to wait for Cui Cui to wake up before we can know the specific situation." Gu Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "Don't tell the old lady yet, Cui Cui is the most filial, and she won't want the old lady to worry about her."
"I see." Chi Rui nodded, "Thank you very much."
After sending Gu Zhiyuan away, Chi Rui went to the well in the outer courtyard and fetched a bucket of well water, and splashed several handfuls of ice-cold water on his face.
The biting cold made people shiver, but Chi Rui didn't think it was enough.
There is a fire burning in his heart, which cannot be extinguished, what should we do?
After splashing a few more times, the splashed water wet the front of his clothes, and the dry clothes he had just put on were now more than half damp again.
About an hour later, Chi Rui waited until he had completely calmed down before going back to the study to change his clothes, and then went to find Mrs. Chi.
What should be faced must be faced, isn't it?
"Grandma, the factory burned down a lot, and it's almost impossible to restore the previous situation." Chi Rui carefully observed his grandma's expression, and said tactfully, "But the warlord in our factory was a shareholder, he It's impossible to just watch Chi's factory close down like this, and he doesn't want to lose everything."
The main responsibility this time lies with Long Tianze, it is absolutely impossible for Chi Rui to let this matter pass by so easily.
Grandma Chi rubbed her brows and said wearily, "As long as people are fine, if something happens to Cuicui, what will happen to the two children Ning'er and Heer? You can figure out the factory affairs, grandma believes you."
"Thank you grandma."
After helping Grandma Chi into the house to rest, Chi Rui immediately rushed back to see Cuicui.
Just now, Xiangtian poured water on her body, so Cui Cui was not burned, but just passed out temporarily, Gu Zhiyuan said that she would wake up tonight.
After repelling the maid, Chi Rui stood by the bed and took care of Cuicui.
Clenching Cui Cui's hand and sticking it to his face, Chi Rui sighed deeply, "Cui Cui, I'm sorry, I realized that I haven't been able to take good care of you..."
He was blaming himself, why did he always put Cui Cui in danger?
Although sometimes it is not his fault, as a husband, shouldn't it be the most basic responsibility to protect his wife?
Chi Rui always hopes that he can give Cuicui happiness and give her the best, but he can't even do the most basic protection of her safety.
His husband is really dereliction of duty.
I don't know how long he sat by the bed, Chi Rui suddenly noticed that the fingers on his face moved slightly, and he tried to lean over and shout a few times, "Cui Cui? Cui Cui?"
Cui Cui felt that she was walking on a very dark road, and the surrounding was very hot, and her eyes were very uncomfortable due to the scorching temperature. She heard someone calling herself, a very familiar voice, is it Chi Rui?
"Chi Rui...?" She closed her eyes and called out, "Hot, so hot..."
"Hot?" Chi Rui thought that Cui Cui had a fever, so he stretched out his hand to touch her forehead, but found that it was not hot, "Cui Cui, why do you feel hot? Are you on your body?"
Chi Rui's voice became clearer and clearer, Cui Cui tried hard to open her eyes to respond to him, but there was no light in front of her eyes, "Chi Rui? Where are you?"
"I'm here." Chi Rui shook Cui Cui's hand slightly, "I'm right beside you."
Cui Cui shook Chi Rui back, and after feeling the familiar palm prints, she turned her face slightly and asked in confusion, "Chi Rui? Where are we? Why is it so dark?"
She opened her eyes again, but it was still pitch black, and Chi Rui's non-response made her panic, "Chi Rui? Can you hear me? Where are we?"
Cui Cui's words made Chi Rui's heart go cold again and again, but Gu Zhiyuan said he was right, Cui Cui really went blind again.
Looking back at the brightly lit room, Chi Rui calmed down his emotions, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, this is the Chi Mansion, our room."
"Our room...?" Cui Cui got up slightly and sniffed. The hand not held by Chi Rui rubbed the quilt on her body carefully. The smell and touch seemed to be really at home.
"It's our room." Chi Rui held Cuicui's hand and pressed it to his face, "Take a look, I'm here too, how could I lie to you?"
"But, but—" Cui Cui rubbed her eyes, "Why is it so dark?"
"Because it's dark outside." Lying to his beloved, Chi Rui was somewhat flustered.
"Then why don't you light the lamp?" Cui Cui asked confusedly, "Is there no lamp in the room?"
"Because I was crying, I didn't want the servants to see me, so I asked them to turn off the lights." Enduring the pain in his heart, Chi Rui leaned down and kissed Cuicui's eyes lightly, "I know you are in the fire scene You were taken aback when you were rescued by Xiang Tian, and you passed out after being rescued by Xiang Tian, I thought you would never wake up, so I cried a lot."
"Big fire...?" Cui Cui froze for a moment, her mind was rapidly thinking about what happened before she fell into a coma.
During the day, I met Xiang Tian, and then rescued him by myself, and then, the factory caught fire!The fire was so big, I wanted to put out the fire, but was knocked out by Xiangtian...
"Factory, Chi Rui, how's the factory?" Cui Cui anxiously wanted to get up, "There's a fire in the factory, I want to put it out, but it's too big, I can't put it out."
Chi Rui lay down on the bed, and lovingly wrapped the person on the bed into his arms, "It's fine, as long as you're fine."
"I'm sorry." Cui Cui turned sideways and buried her head in Chi Rui's chest, "I'm sorry, Chi Rui. I failed to protect your dream. I can only watch it burn. I'm really sorry... ..."
Powerlessness is a very sad feeling.
Cui Cui felt this way when she was in the fire, she had no way to stop the damage, she could only watch it happen in front of her eyes.
She said, "Chi Rui, I really hate myself for being useless."
Why can't he stop it even though he has relived his life again?
Feeling that his collar was slightly wet, Chi Rui hurriedly wiped away Cuicui's tears with his sleeves. Her eyes are not good now, so she can't shed tears.
"It's not your fault." Chi Rui calmed Cui Cui's agitated emotions with gentle movements and tone, "For me, only your safety is the most important thing."
The dream is gone, you can create another one.
If the person in front of him is gone, as he said to Ah Si, then he can't live on.
Cui Cui nestled in Chi Rui's arms, listening to his soft voice, sobbed for a while, then fell into a deep sleep.
Chi Rui lay motionless on the bed, but his thoughts kept churning. Today is a secret, but what about tomorrow?Cui Cui will eventually find herself blind again.
"Alas—" Chi Rui planted a kiss on her forehead with a deep sense of pity.
Cui Cui felt that she had slept for a long time, but it didn't seem to be long, because it was still dark when she opened her eyes.
Is it not yet dawn?
She reached out her hand to touch Chi Rui's seat, and found that the bed was empty, and the cool touch proved that the person who was lying on it should have been up for a while.
Even in a completely dark environment, as long as the human eyes adapt for a period of time, they can still see things weakly.Besides, Cui Cui didn't believe that there would be no light at all outside the window.
Lying quietly for a while, she stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes.
The fact that she tried her best to widen her eyes but couldn't see a shadow made her a little panicked. Could it be that she was blind again?
"Chi Rui? Chi Rui, are you there?" Propping herself up on her elbows, Cui Cui fumbled to open the curtain beside the bed, and asked with a slightly raised voice, "Is anyone there?"
Huan'er, who was resting outside, heard her voice and ran in immediately, "Young Mistress, you are awake, Huan'er is here, what are you going to do?"
Cui Cui stretched out her hand in the direction of the voice and touched it a few times, "Huan'er, what time is it now?"
"It's already noon." Without noticing what was wrong with Cuicui, Huan'er said frankly, "Young master went to deal with the factory affairs early this morning, and told me to stay here to guard you."
"...It's noon?" Cui Cui repeated her words in a daze.
Blinking her eyes hard again, then raising her hand and shaking it in front of her face, she found that there was still no shadow in her eyes.
Could it be... really blind again?
Cuicui stretched out her hand and groped for Huan'er's wrist, and said softly, "Huan'er, listen to me, don't make noise, don't make a fuss, go secretly to Gu's Medical Center, and invite your adoptive father here." one trip."
"Doctor Gu?" Huan'er was a little puzzled, "Young Mistress, is there something wrong with you?"
"I—" Cui Cui hesitated for a while but still didn't say it, "You just do it. Also, call Wan'er over, if someone asks you, just say I'm not awake, understand?"
"Oh—" Huan'er nodded with full of doubts.
After Huan'er left, Cui Cui slowly tried to straighten up and sit on the head of the bed, reaching out to fumble for her clothes.For her who had been blind once, the dark days were not hard to bear.
When Wan'er came in, Cui Cui had already put on her clothes and coat by herself.
"Young Mistress." Wan'er naturally walked over to help Cuicui up, "Is Young Mistress hungry? Do you want Wan'er to prepare some food for you?"
Cui Cui suddenly changed her mind, turned to Wan'er and smiled at her, "Wan'er, am I pretty?"
"Ah?" Wan'er was slightly taken aback, but immediately nodded, "Wan'er thinks young mistress is the most beautiful, she was beautiful before marrying young master, and she is also beautiful after marrying young master."
"Really?" Cui Cui blinked and smiled, "You look good too, today's makeup matches you very well."
Wan'er didn't notice anything unusual, but slightly lowered her head shyly, "The young mistress is the only one who is beautiful, and Wan'er can't compare to the young mistress."
"I'm a little tired after lying down for a long time. Help me to sit down at the table, and then bring me some snacks." Cuicui stood up with Wan'er's strength, and silently counted steps towards the table in her heart.
For a whole hour and a half, before Gu Zhiyuan came, Wan'er didn't realize that Cui Cui was blind.
When she heard Gu Zhiyuan's diagnosis, Wan'er almost screamed, "How is this possible? Doctor Gu, did you read it wrong? The young mistress was still chatting with me just now, and I helped her walk into the yard How could she be blind?"
"I pretended that." Cui Cui recognized Wan'er's position through her voice slightly, cast her empty eyes on her, tilted her head and said, "Am I very powerful?"
"Young Mistress—" Wan'er's voice was slightly crying, how could she be so careless!
"Cui Cui, don't you want the old lady to worry?" Gu Zhiyuan asked tentatively, "You don't intend to keep pretending, do you?"
Gu Zhiyuan's question came to the point, Cui Cui lowered her head a little guilty, "I really wanted to prevent too many people from knowing about my blindness, now that something happened in the factory, grandma must be very sad, as I Granddaughter-in-law can't help her old man share her worries, at least she can stop her from worrying."
"Oh." Gu Zhiyuan sighed pitifully, "After all, this is not a long-term solution. What about Chi Rui? Are you planning to hide it from him too?"
"It's impossible. Chi Rui is too smart, I can't hide it from him." Cui Cui played with her fingers, pretending to be relaxed, "He probably found out last night, I can't see it."
Thinking about it now, Cui Cui suddenly realized why Chi Rui's voice trembled last night.
In fact, there was light in the room at that time, right?
Because he didn't want to make himself sad when he found out the fact that he was blind, he purposely made up a lie that he didn't want others to see him when he cried.
"Father, now I can only trouble you to help me keep it a secret. It's best that only a few of us know about this." Cui Cui begged and pulled Gu Zhiyuan's sleeve to act like a spoiled child, "Please, father, you Just help me this time."
"...I see." It really hurts when some children become sensible.
Gu Zhiyuan sighed deeply, not knowing whether to be relieved or sad.After leaving a note and a prescription, he shook his head helplessly and left.
"Wan'er, Huan'er." Sitting at the table, Cui Cui said solemnly to the two of them, "Listen well, what Dr. Gu said today, and my situation, must not reveal a word, especially In front of the old lady."
Wan'er and Huan'er looked at each other, and said in unison with bitter faces, "Yes—"
"Young Mistress, can you hide it?" After holding back for a while, Wan'er still asked, "Your eyes can't see, what should you do if you have trouble moving?"
Wan'er doesn't understand, it's easy to hide other illnesses, but how can she hide her blindness?
"So I have to rely on you." Cui Cui reached out and grabbed Wan'er's wrist, and said solemnly, "Wan'er, from now on I will be taken care of by you and Huan'er in my daily life. Remind me quietly in my ear, don't let people see the flaws, you understand?"
After waiting for a while without hearing an answer, Cui Cui shook the hand she was holding tightly, "Wan'er, you are talking."
"Young Mistress, it's not Wan'er you're pulling, it's me, I'm Huan'er." Huan'er laughed a few times, stepped forward and squatted in front of Cuicui, took her hand and put it on her face, "Don't believe me You touch my face."
"Uh——" Cui Cui was a little speechless, "I, I will try not to admit my mistakes in the future."
Wan'er and Huan'er looked at each other, sighed silently, deeply worried about the future of their young mistress!
Chi Rui came to the Governor's Mansion early this morning, one is because he has to come to work, and the other is to ask for an explanation.
Shen Hu was very fair, he paid for the loss of Chi's factory, Long Tianze was also given a whip, but Xiangtian still wanted Chi Rui to explain why he was in Chi's factory.
Everyone knows the relationship between Ling Xue and Cui Cui, they are not real sisters, but they are better than real sisters, so it is not surprising that the Chi family is harboring Xiang Tian.
"I don't know." Even facing Shen Hu directly, Chi Rui was still very calm, "I don't know why Xiang Tian is in Chi's factory."
"Do you think I'll believe what you say?" Shen Hu sat at the desk and calmly blew out a smoke ring, "Chi Rui, I know you don't and you don't like to lie, think it over before answering."
"I don't know." Chi Rui didn't even think about it, but still blurted out these four words.
Afterwards, from Huan'er's words, he could guess that Cui Cui really wanted to protect Xiang Tian, but he really didn't know how Xiang Tian got involved.
Maybe just ran there, and it was a good hiding place.
"That's all." Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Shen Hu could only shake his head helplessly, "I will not pursue the matter of why Xiangtian is in Chi's factory for the time being. You should prepare now and leave for the provincial capital in three days' time."
Three days later, there was an arms deal in the provincial capital. Originally, Shen Hu planned to let Long Tianze go. After all, he had been doing this before, but the whipping yesterday might make him unable to move for a while.
Chi Rui still had that calm face, and left Shen Hu's study after taking over the place and time of the transaction.
It was already night when he returned to the mansion, and he heard that Cui Cui had woken up and had dinner with Grandma Chi, so he hurried to his yard immediately.
Impossible, impossible, Cui Cui obviously can't see it.
Chi Rui is now full of doubts.
"Cui Cui." As soon as he entered the room, he walked to the dressing table and pulled Cui Cui up, "I just heard from the housekeeper that you had dinner with grandma? Your eyes...?"
Cui Cui caressed his hand holding her shoulder, and smiled slightly, "I really can't see, I just pretended in front of grandma, isn't it pretty good?"
Wan'er was always helping her prepare vegetables during the meal just now, but fortunately Grandma Chi saw that she was frightened yesterday, so she specially ordered the kitchen to cook a big pot of chicken soup for her. I was full and couldn't eat anything, so I didn't reveal the stuffing.
"You—" Chi Rui stretched out his hand and poked her on the head, "I really don't know what to say about you."
"You should praise me for being smart." Cui Cui took Chi Rui's arm and said proudly, "How about it? Husband, I can help you change your clothes, do you want to try?"
"Okay." Chi Rui immediately took her hand and put it on his collar, "Come on."
"what--?"
I didn't expect Chi Rui to be so calm, but Cui Cui panicked a little. When she put on her own clothes, she always buttoned them by feeling her hands. Now if she wants to help Chi Rui undress, do she have to touch him? touch it?
Besides, the clothes are okay, what about the pants?
As if he didn't notice the blush on Cuicui's face, Chi Rui secretly raised the corner of his mouth and urged, "Madam, please hurry up, please? I'm very hungry."
"..." This reason is too fake, if you are hungry, go eat, why take off your clothes?
"It's uncomfortable to eat in this dress." Chi Rui explained as if he had seen through Cui Cui's thoughts.
"..." This reason is even more false!Do you like to eat without clothes?
When she helped Chi Rui change his clothes and trousers with trembling hands, Cui Cui's face was already red like something.
Just now, she touched all the places on Chi Rui's body that should be touched, and the places that should not be touched, but Chi Rui still didn't understand that she was a patient, and kept laughing and laughing beside her, Cui Cui who laughed was getting worse and worse. Excuse me.
Chi Rui felt much more comfortable after putting on his robe, and took Cui Cui to sit at the table while eating and talking to her about today's events.
"Why did you bring me to the provincial capital to discuss business?" Cui Cui tilted her head puzzled, "I've never been to the provincial capital, and I can't see it now, aren't you afraid that I might get lost?"
Chi Rui put down the bowl, pinched Cui Cui's face with his hands, "How could I let you get lost? I just want to take you to the provincial capital to have a good check."
"what to check for?"
"Check your eyes." Chi Rui took a piece of chicken and fed it to Cui Cui's mouth, "Open your mouth."
Cui Cui obediently opened her mouth and took a bite of the meat that Chi Rui fed, and asked while chewing, "But didn't foster father say that my eyes depend on the situation? Maybe ten days and a half months, or a few months , it depends on my physical condition."
"Traditional Chinese medicine's pulse diagnosis is not as thorough as western medicine's examination." Chi Rui turned his face and stared into her eyes and said, "Besides, I won't be at home for nearly half a month this time around, you and Wan'er still have a relationship." What if the three idiots show their secrets in front of grandma?"
"That's right." Cui Cui nodded.
If Chi Rui wasn't at home, what would he do if something he couldn't see was exposed?If he was there, there would be someone to help lie.
Besides, isn't going to the provincial capital just a reason to keep grandma from finding out?
only……
"Who are you calling stupid?" Cui Cui raised her hand and patted Chi Rui's back hard, "Why are Wan'er, Wan'er and I stupid?"
"Heh—" Chi Rui not only didn't get angry, but laughed instead.
"What are you laughing at?" Cui Cui couldn't see, she was a little confused by his sudden laughter, "Chi Rui, what are you laughing at?"
"Young Mistress—" Huan'er standing in front of the table answered Cui Cui's question, "You didn't hit the young master, it was me! I was feeding the young master just now."
"Ah?" Cui Cui's eyes widened in surprise, "Isn't it?"
Cui Cui just hit the person on her left just out of feeling. Chi Rui was sitting there, but it happened that he had finished his bowl of rice and asked Huan'er to bring another bowl. She was slapped on the back of her hand by Cui Cui's hard slap.
"Haha——" Chi Rui laughed louder, isn't this really funny?
"...I'm sorry Huan'er." TAT...
In the end, Cui Cui was still included among those who went to the provincial capital, and Wan'er and Huan'er went together.
The road to the provincial capital is far away, and Cui Cui can't see the scenery along the road, so she can only lean against Chi Rui's arms, but his gentle voice is so hypnotic that she fell asleep while shaking.
I don't know how long it has passed, but when Cuicui woke up, she always felt a little weird, why the material of her clothes didn't feel like the one she wore in the morning, and there was no familiar smell on the bedding.
"Chi Rui?" She straightened up from the bed and called out twice tentatively, "Chi Rui? Huan'er? Are you there?"
"Stop shouting, Chi Rui is not here." A deep male voice suddenly sounded not far away.
"Who are you?" Cui Cui moved back a little vigilantly, leaning her back against the head of the bed and asked, "Where is this?"
The people in the room slowly got up, walked to the bed and sat down, and sprayed Cui Cui's face with strong alcohol breath, "Can't you hear my voice?"
This teasing tone, could it be...?
"Long Tianze?" Cui Cui turned to look at him with empty eyes, "Is that you? Long Tianze?"
"It's me—" Long Tianze stretched out his hand to touch Cui Cui's face with a smile, "I snatched you here."
Long Tianze's words made Cuicui's heart sink, could it be that she was really captured by Long Tianze?Does Chi Rui know?I can't see it with my own eyes, and there is no possibility of escape.
Slightly calming down, Cui Cui pulled out a sarcastic smile, "Long Tianze, do you think you can lock me up? Chi Rui will definitely come to rescue me."
"Really?" Long Tianze moved closer, stretched out his hand to hold Cui Cui's chin, "What is he doing here? To catch a traitor? To see me sleeping with you?"
Cui Cui grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at him vigorously, "Release me."
"Hiss——" Cui Cui slapped Long Tianze's shoulder with a pillow just now, pulling his wound from the whip just now, and immediately let him gasp.
"Stop pretending, I didn't use much force just now." Cui Cui pulled the quilt to her chest to wrap herself up, and listened vigilantly to Long Tianze's movements.
"Hehe, I know you're not willing to beat me." Long Tianze laughed meanly, "It's just that I had to work hard to open the window just now, and it hurt my wound."
Turn the window?
Cuicui keenly understood the key words, wasn't she kidnapped by Long Tianze?Logically speaking, shouldn't this be his territory?Why did he turn over the window?
"I didn't take you away. There are Chi Rui's people outside the door. Is it possible for me to take you away?" Long Tianze let go of Cuicui's chin, stood up and took another sip from the wine at the table , "You are in the hospital, the hospital in the provincial capital."
"Hospital?" Cui Cui remembered to pull the quilt and smell it carefully, and it really smelled strongly of disinfectant.
"I heard that he brought you to the provincial capital, so I followed all the way. Unexpectedly, I followed all the way to the hospital and discovered a big secret." Long Tianze stood by the bed, looking at Cui Cui's pair of crippled eyes with guilt. God's big glazed eyes.
Originally, those eyes were so beautiful, but it was a pity that they were all destroyed by his fire...
Taking another sip of wine, Long Tianze asked in a deep voice, "Wu Cuicui, let me ask you one last time, are you willing to leave Chi Rui and follow me? I will definitely treat you wholeheartedly."
Are you single-minded?
Hearing this word again from Long Tianze, a playboy, Cui Cui felt filled with emotion.
She who was bruised and bruised by Chi Rui in her previous life would not agree, let alone her who is happy in this life?
It's just that I always feel a little guilty in my heart. People who have lived two lifetimes have matured and are no longer as young and vigorous as before.
She said, "Long Tianze, I love Chi Rui, I love my family, I love my two children, there is no way I will go with you."
She said, "We are not suitable. I don't like you. Even if I leave with you, I won't be happy. Why do you cling to someone who doesn't love you?"
She said, "Give up, I'm living a happy life, I hope you... can be happy too."
If he didn't mutiny or go to extremes, Long Tianze was actually a young and promising officer. After all, he was the successor cultivated by Shen Hu himself. His ending should not be death.
Although the words are a bit funny, but... Long Tianze really did it himself!
After waiting for a long time without hearing the sound, Cui Cui turned her head to where he was standing in doubt, "Long Tianze, are you still there?"
"What? Are you reluctant to let me go?" Long Tianze's teasing voice sounded again, "Or do you change your mind and want to go with me?"
"You'd better go, you sneaked in while Chi Rui and Huan'er were away?" Cui Cui also chuckled, "If you don't leave, when Chi Rui comes in later, the injury on your back may be serious." It couldn't get any better."
"Perhaps you should wait for Chi Rui to come to say this, and let him be jealous." Long Tianze put the lid on the wine bottle and stuffed it back into his pocket, then picked up the peaked cap on the side and put it on, blowing Whistle, "I'm leaving, goodbye."
Cui Cui sat on the bed, quietly listening to him open the window, and then quickly turned over and went out.
After a long time, she murmured, "Cousin——"
In the world of love, there is no worth or not, there is always only willing or not.
Cui Cui knew that Chi Rui and Zhi Xia once had an agreement in the afterlife, and Zhi Xia told Chi Rui that she would definitely make it up to him in the next life.
But why wait until the next life?
Instead of making such illusory promises, why not cherish the present?
In the next life, can you guarantee that you will still meet each other?Even if we can meet
