grief

When Yuan Kun received a call from Ouyang Liling, Qiao Yuxi was sitting by the fountain in the square, watching the children playing in the distance in a daze.

Ouyang Liling told Yuan Kun on the phone that there is no need to hide or explain, and you can directly tell Qiao Yuxi that he asked Yuan Kun to follow and monitor.

Yuan Kun came to Qiao Yuxi hesitantly, wondering if Qiao Yuxi would answer according to Ouyang Liling's instructions when Qiao Yuxi questioned him.

"Director, I found Yi Yan."

Qiao Yuxi's mind was completely on Yi Yan, and he didn't have any extra energy to think about why Yuan Kun appeared here.

Yuan Kun's prepared call was useless, he stood at the same spot, watching Qiao Yuxi's hurriedly leaving figure, and did not follow.Because Ouyang Liling just told him that starting today, he can go back, and he will never need to do these things again in the future.

He heard an unprecedented sense of despair and exhaustion from Ouyang Liling's voice.He doesn't know what's going on, and he won't ask.As long as it's something Ouyang Liling doesn't want to say, no one will get the result.

When Qiao Yuxi rushed to the hospital, Yi Yan was still in the emergency room.

Qiao Yuxi leaned against the wall outside the emergency room, his mind blank.

Yi Yan came back and was seriously injured.

He kept thinking about the message, unable to sit still and think.

The door was pushed open and the doctor came out.

Qiao Yuxi ran over quickly: "Doctor, he's fine, right?"

"The patient is temporarily out of danger, but the brain injury is serious and needs to be observed again."

Yi Yan was sent to the intensive care unit, Qiao Yuxi stood outside, staring at the unconscious man through the glass, praying silently in his heart.

"Mr. Qiao, the patient will not wake up in a short time, you should go and have a rest."

The nurse came over, looked at the person who had been standing here for a day, and couldn't help but remind him.

"..." Qiao Yuxi maintained a posture without any reaction.

The nurse shook her head helplessly and left.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Yuxi finally woke up, moved his numb limbs, and went outside.

It was late at night, and there were very few people walking around in the hospital.

Qiao Yuxi sat down on the bench under the tree, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and coughed violently until tears flowed out.

This pack of cigarettes has been bought for a long time and has not been opened.

Ouyang Liling didn't let him learn this, so he listened and remembered.It's just that he was surprised that Ouyang Liling obviously didn't like it, but he always carried it with him and smoked one from time to time.

I remember that the first time I saw Ouyang Liling smoking was in the second year after they started their business, and it was also the third year he knew Ouyang Liling.

That day, Ouyang Liling went out to discuss business with someone, but he didn't come back for a long time, and the phone couldn't be reached. Qiao Yuxi was worried, so he went out to look for it by himself, and found Ouyang Liling in the park he often went to.

It was already late at night, and the surroundings were quiet. Ouyang Liling sat alone on the lawn under the tree, her hair was disheveled, a few bloodstains on her face were shocking, her shirt was half open, and the buttons were gone.

Qiao Yuxi ran over and realized that there was already a litter of cigarette butts beside Ouyang Liling, and the one in his hand was still shining.

Shocked, more distressed.

Before Qiao Yuxi had time to comfort her, she was pushed down by Ouyang Liling whose eyes were bloodshot.

That night, on the lawn of the park, Qiao Yuxi bit Ouyang Liling's shoulder and endured the crazy impact. Although he kept screaming for pain, Ouyang Liling didn't intend to stop.

It was his first time. Before Ouyang Liling confessed his love to him, he had already given up his heart and body completely.

At that time, he firmly believed that as long as there was Ouyang Liling, he could give up the whole world.

Later, I remembered that Ouyang Liling must have been crying at that time, but tears and sweat were mixed together, it was not so easy to detect.

After all these years, he never asked why Ouyang Liling was crying.

The cigarette in his hand had been burned out, and the scorching temperature blocked Qiao Yuxie's thoughts.

Qiao Yuxi lowered his head to look at the cigarette butt between his fingers. It turned out that the smell was not ecstasy, but choked to the stomach, and there were so many people who couldn't quit.

Perhaps, many people in this world like to torture themselves.

The sky is getting brighter.

Qiao Yuxi went to the bathroom of the hospital, turned on the cold water, and flushed her face.Looking at the emaciated person in the mirror, he sighed involuntarily, and walked back outside the intensive care unit.

Yi Yan still didn't wake up.The doctor told him after the examination that Yi Yan was out of danger, but fell into a severe coma, and it was impossible to predict when he would wake up.

Yi Yan was transferred to the general ward, the doctor looked at Qiao Yuxie's face, and tried his best to persuade him to go back and rest.

Rest, is this word still related to him?

Qiao Yuxi walked out of the hospital and wandered aimlessly on the street, the passing crowd merged into a vast expanse of whiteness before his eyes.

Where he should go, and where he could go, he couldn't think of.

"Come with me, I'll take you to a world." The sudden appearance of Ouyang Liling was like a miracle to them who grew up in the mountains.

Under the banyan tree, five people clasped their palms together, expressing pure and beautiful yearning.

The four teenagers left their hometowns, and with many unknowns about the world, they followed a person they were not familiar with without any regrets, just for that dreamlike oath.

"Always together, never apart!"

Qiao Yuxi called a taxi and directly reported the address.

He is lucky to have Ouyang Liling's pampering and care, Yi Yan's meticulous care, Geng Ye's tolerance, and Lou Yi's obedience.

He is willful, he thinks that if someone can rely on, he can never worry.But forget, maybe at a certain moment, someone will fall, and he will be the one to be relied on.

If it was just a dream, then before he fully woke up, he had to figure out what was going on, and even if he lived in tragedy in the future, he should not be confused and not know what was going on.

Ouyang Liling was neither at home nor at the company. After going out early in the morning, there was no news.

Yuan Kun said that he just wanted to be alone and would be back soon.

"Yuan Kun, you must know where he is, right?" Qiao Yuxi couldn't wait any longer, "I must see him right now, so please tell me!"

"Director..."

"Don't call me director, I have nothing to do with this place!" Qiao Yuxi found that he hated this title more and more.

"I really don't know where the boss is." Yuan Kun said truthfully, "Actually, ever since you called the boss to say that Lou Yi was missing, the boss was worried about you being alone, and worried that you might misunderstand that it was surveillance, so he kept letting me secretly protect you." You, I haven't been around him since that day. So, what happened these days, why the boss suddenly seems to be a different person, I don't know at all. "

"Then where can he go?"

Yuan Kun shook his head: "I really don't know. But you don't have to worry, no one here can touch him."

"Even if he died, I wouldn't worry about it."

When Qiao Yuxi said these words, Ouyang Liling happened to appear at the door, with a calm expression, no surprise or displeasure could be seen.

"Didn't you say that Yi Yan would definitely come back intact? What's going on now? What did you do to him!" Qiao Yuxie rushed to the door, grabbed Ouyang Liling by the collar and questioned loudly.

Everyone in the company was shocked by the two of them, and for a moment, they forgot what they were doing.

"If you have anything to say, come to my office and talk."

Ouyang Liling took Qiao Yuxi's hand away and walked towards the elevator first.

Qiao Yuxi realized that he was too emotional, so he calmed down and followed.

"Yu last, I can understand your mood, and I can see that you really care about Yi Yan, but now that you are in the company, it will be difficult for me to get down in front of so many employees." Ouyang Li Ling poured a glass of water and put it on the table, "Please save me some face."

Qiao Yuxi really wanted to refute this sentence. Yi Yan is still lying unconscious in the hospital. It is very likely that Ouyang Liling did all of this. Now, he is still here to talk about face.

However, Qiao Yuxi is not Geng Ye, he knows enough is enough, just now he lost his temper in a moment of impatience, but now he has calmed down.

"Feather, in fact, I don't want you to suppress your emotions, it's not good for your health." Ouyang Liling picked up the coffee and walked to the glass wall, "I still like the old Joe who can vent his emotions to me without reservation Feather last."

"The former Qiao Yuxie is dead."

"Really?" Ouyang Liling turned her back to Qiao Yuxie, "I thought that even if many people would die, that Qiao Yuxie who loved Ouyang Liling deeply and trusted Ouyang Liling would always be alive."

"He was killed by your own hands."

"Perhaps, but have you ever thought about it? Maybe, Ouyang Liling was forced to kill the past Qiao Yuxi and Qiao Yuxi chose to let the past self die... They were forced to do so."

Qiao Yuxi didn't want to get entangled in this question: "I came here to ask you, can you save Yi Yan?"

"Feather, do you think that I am omnipotent?"

"Yi Yan suffered a brain injury, if you want to save him..."

"Impossible." Qiao Yuxi interrupted him decisively.

"Why?" Qiao Yuxi stepped forward a few steps, stood beside Ouyang Liling, facing him, "Ouyang Liling, don't you want to atone for your actions?"

Ouyang Liling sneered: "I'm not guilty, why do I need to redeem?"

"You..." Qiao Yuxi didn't want to argue any more, "Then tell me Dr. Ye's address, and I'll go find him myself."

"Ye last, it is impossible for Dr. Ye to treat anyone anymore. The last time he operated on you was an exception." Ouyang Liling turned around and faced Qiao Yu last, "There is something you should not do I know, last time Dr. Ye just passed out when he walked out of the operating room."

"How did this happen?" Qiao Yuxi really didn't know about this situation. After recovering his memory last time, he left directly to avoid Ouyang Liling. Later, he also thought about asking Ye Qiyang to thank him, but he heard that Ye Qiyang went back overnight up.

"I believe you should understand Dr. Ye's condition."

Qiao Yuxi frowned. When Ye Qiyang told him, he could vaguely guess something.

"It's just that his condition is far more serious than we imagined. Once it happens, it is very likely... Before Mr. Su left, he told me clearly that he is not allowed to look for them again. Moreover, I think Mr. Su should have completely stopped him." Doctor Ye's connection with the outside world..."

"Is there no other way?" Qiao Yuxi was not reconciled.

"If you want to fight against the Feng family, we are not qualified." Ouyang Liling paused, "Besides, I, Ouyang Liling, can't do such a thing for my own sake regardless of other people's feelings."

"Is there anything you can't do?" Qiao Yuxi's voice was full of sarcasm.

Ouyang Liling smiled slightly: "Yu Zhi, you should give up on finding Dr. Ye, no matter what you say, I will never do it again."

"Okay, then let me ask you one last question, is Yi Yan's injury related to you?"

"How do you want me to answer?"

"I want the truth."

"The truth is, if possible, I would rather never...love you."

Ouyang Liling was quite calm when he said this, Qiao Yuxi couldn't even find anything called emotion in his eyes.

Qiao Yuxi remembered that Lou Yi once asked him if he would still want to meet Ouyang Liling if he started all over again.

He didn't answer at that time, but at this moment, he clearly heard his inner voice.

He has never regretted it, no matter how many times he repeats it, he will never refuse that night when Ouyang Liling hid in the park decadently.

He gave his body, including this heart, willingly and without hesitation.

Maybe Ouyang Liling regretted it, maybe from the beginning, he didn't give everything, maybe it was because of guilt, or maybe it was because of the friendship he valued most, in short, it had nothing to do with love.

Qiao Yuxi wanted to cry, but he just smiled after all, he was happier and more relieved than when he came in.

"Thank you for your answer."

"Yu last, tidy yourself up." Ouyang Liling turned his back to Qiao Yu last again, "If Yi Yan wakes up, I definitely don't want to see you like you are now."

Qiao Yuxi didn't answer, and left Ouyang Liling's office.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away behind him, Ouyang Liling lost all aura in an instant, and slumped down in the office chair.
