dark crossing

In his coma, Lu Xinghe had a dream. He dreamed that there was a quarrel between the two of them, and he lost his temper and threw all the things that Lin Youband gave him into the trash can—the paintings on the walls, all kinds of decorations Ornaments, watches, cufflinks.

Lin Youbi pushed a famous director's movie invitation for him without prior communication. Lu Xinghe was furious for his self-assertion. An antique crystal cup used by the Russian royal family many years ago.

He hung up on more than a dozen calls from Lin Youban, and later blocked him, but he changed his number and continued calling.In a rage, Lu Xinghe completely shut down the phone and slept under the blanket.

When he woke up, the painting Lin Youbandit bought was still hanging on the wall, and the ornaments he gave were all returned to their original places.If it wasn't for the place where the Tsar's crystal cup was placed was replaced by a blue double-petalled carnation, Lu Xinghe would have suspected that their previous quarrel was just an unrealistic and false dream.

The flower language of blue carnations is - pure love.

Other than that, Lu Xinghe had never seen Lin Youband send other flowers.

Thinking back, this guy seems to be obsessed with blue carnations. Before he asked if this flower had any special meaning, Lin Youband stared at him for a long time with brown eyes, his expression was gentle and pious, and his tone was sincere. Like the choir's answer to the gods: "The truth is, I don't love flowers. I like this one because it was planted by you."

Lu Xinghe laughed dumbfounded, could it be that he was actually a gardener in Lin Youband's mind? — or the kind that grows only blue carnations.

Lin Youbandi took the initiative to show his favor, which made Lu Xinghe calm down a little.He put on his clothes and walked to the cabinet to see the carnation surrounded by artwork.

The dewy flowers are very delicate, but not fragile at all. The light blue petals are stacked and staggered, and the edges are randomly rolled with some irregular light yellow, like a blue oil painting scalded by flames.

A fragrant smoke wafted from the tip of his nose, Lu Xinghe couldn't help pacing and pushing the door to go out.

In the bright dining room, Lin Youbande wearing an apron brought the last dish to the table and smiled softly and apologetically at him: "You're hungry, it's time to eat."

At that moment, he thought, this person is so nice, try not to quarrel in the future.

……

The most draining is the lucid dream, and the most confusing is the dream within a dream.

In the dream, Lu Xinghe opened his eyes, and in the darkness, the night lamp was emitting a lonely white light.He broke out in a cold sweat, and tiptoed up, wanting to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but before he could get to the bed, he was involuntarily imprisoned again on the soft bed by the hand stretched out by the people around him, and the metal chains collided with each other. Crisp jingle.

Lu Xinghe on the hospital bed twitched heavily because of this, he struggled to get up, and the oxygen mask condensed a mist due to his violent panting.

Sitting by the bed, Lin Youband was in the same complex mood and expression. He touched his forehead soaked in cold sweat, and turned to ask the doctor for help: "Is he in pain?"

The doctor shook his head: "The anesthesia hasn't completely subsided. It shouldn't hurt like this. It should be a nightmare." Post-traumatic stress response, when he gets better, remember to take him to see a psychiatrist."

Lin Youban smiled wryly.nightmare?That had nothing to do with the gunshot wound, it was the nightmare that lived between them every day.

Lu Xinghe woke up from a daze, the huge tinnitus made his brain sound like a magnetic field was disturbed, and his ears were filled with a sharp and constant "Zi——" sound.

He looked at Lin Youband in confusion, and briefly forgot why he and himself appeared here.

Lin Youban reached out and touched his face tenderly.

The man in front of the bed was handsome and haggard, like an imaginary protagonist who came out of a cartoon, but the question he asked was very realistic: "So, would you rather die than stay by my side?"

Lu Xinghe was stunned, what did he do?Why did Lin Youband ask such a question?

Silence is regarded as acquiescing, Lin Youbie smiled tolerantly, but there was no smile in his eyes: "I once told you that in this life, I can let go of everything except you. Now, I regret it. Believe that 'nothing is difficult in this world, as long as there is a heart', and now I understand that if we are willing to give up, our lives will be much easier."

Only then did Lu Xinghe's mind clear up. He recalled all the things that happened before, and thought of his erratic actions in the ICU.

Lin Youban's hand stroked his cheek, he opened his mouth and couldn't speak, so he rubbed his chin against the other's palm.

Lin Youband covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and asked unsteadily, "You will live a good life only if I leave, right?"

Lu Xinghe suspected that he was crying.

He had never heard Lin Youband speak in such a weak tone.

He buried his face in the opponent's palm, and from this angle, he could even clearly see the palm prints on Lin Yougang's palm.

Shenxiu has a slender lifeline, but its shape is very tortuous, and the branch line goes straight into the moon hill.

It is said that people with various lifelines have tenacious vitality and smooth career, but they are always prone to family and emotional ups and downs, often change their residence, live an unstable life, and are destined to travel across the ocean.

In the past, Lu Xinghe didn't believe in these things, but the reality forced him to believe them.

He remembered that when he went sightseeing with Lin Youband in the past, it happened that there was a monk who had a good marriage.Lin Youband only asked for a signature, but didn't say what he was asking for, but the monk read his signature, frowned, and pulled him aside to say a few words in private.

Lu Xinghe was very curious about what the monk said, but Lin Youban never mentioned it to him.

In fact, that monk really lived up to his reputation, although he only left a few sentences, he was really accurate.

Lin Youband took his words very seriously, and since then he went to the Buddha every year to fulfill his vows.

The monk said: "If you are looking for someone, the benefactor will get the best lottery. It can be said that it will take no effort to get it. But if you are asking about marriage, I am afraid that hard work will be nothing. This lottery can also be solved, as long as the benefactor can do it." I understand that the word for love is "Jiang Taigong is fishing, and those who wish to take the bait" are yours, and what is not yours should not be forced. This truth is easy to say, but it is difficult to do. Donors should try their best to achieve it. No negative."

The monk said it was right, it is indeed useless to force everything.

However, who in this world is willing to force it?

Even three-year-olds know that twisted melons are not sweet.

In the final analysis, it's just that the unwilling person will eventually have another destination.

Lin Youban rubbed the soft top of his hair in his palm, and he resigned to his fate.

"It's all over, I'm sorry. You alone... may be a little uncomfortable at first, but it will be fine." He was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly thanked: "Xinghe, thank you."

Thank him?Thank him for what?

Lu Xinghe wanted to laugh, but his face buried in his palm never lifted up again, his laughter gradually turned into a weak whimper, his shoulders shrugged slightly, and finally he fell into the quilt and cried loudly.

Lin Youbie stroked his back tenderly, and didn't say another word until he left.

The two kidnappers who kidnapped Lu Xinghe have been brought to justice, and they accused Lin Youband of shooting them many times.However, according to the results of on-site investigation and evidence collection, their testimony is not enough to be trusted.

Although there were indeed penetrating wounds on the leg of the accomplice hired by Lu Qiuming and Lu Qiuming's wrist, the forensic examination found that the wounds were not gunshot wounds.

Of course, this is due to the secondary treatment of the wound and the scene by Lin Youbandi's confidants early on.

Together with that accomplice, Lu Qiuming tasted the taste of being indisputable.

They were eventually prosecuted by the prosecution for multiple crimes including illegal possession of firearms, kidnapping, and attempted murder.

But what shocked everyone again was that before the accomplice was prosecuted, his defense lawyer produced a mental examination report.Reports indicate that this is a restricted behavior offender who suffers from a mental disorder.

As it concerns public figures, the case immediately attracted widespread attention once it was reported.Netizens launched a fierce war of words over whether a mentally ill person should be held criminally responsible for murder. The keyword #mental disease kidnapping# has dominated the headlines of major websites for several days in a row, and the topic remains hot.

Shen Ting immediately got all the information about this case from Chen Cong.He subconsciously wondered if it was because Lin Youband knew something that Lu Xinghe was being targeted by a mental patient.

But there is no basis for such a conjecture.

According to the investigation, the reason why Lu Qiuming hired a psychopath to kidnap Lu Xinghe was out of balance in his heart.This point was also confirmed by the staff who had worked with Lu Qiuming in the past.The former colleague, who did not want to disclose his real name, told the police that before Lu Qiuming was in a car accident, he had heard him complain about the uneven distribution of resources in the brokerage company, favoring one over another.

In order to ensure justice, the police interviewed several former colleagues who had worked with Lu Qiuming.The opinions obtained are similar.

"He used to always target Lu Xinghe, and always said in front of us that he didn't deserve his virtue!" Most of the former colleagues had a good impression of Lu Xinghe, but they sneered at Lu Qiuming who had served him: "Lu Xinghe is a little arrogant, But he is a good person, at least he will not treat his staff as human beings. Lu Qiuming is different. When there is no accident, he always makes things difficult for his assistants. On rainy days, they are not allowed to hold the same umbrella with him temporarily, saying that he wants to take the lead. Servants have points! Anyway, it’s too much!"

The final case was characterized as retaliation.

But Shen Ting didn't think so.

He tried to find out more details through Chu Huainan, but this time, Chu Huainan was helpless.

"A bandit has left the country, and he is in a hurry."

"Leave Lu Xinghe alone in the hospital? Impossible?"

Chu Huainan shrugged: "I also think it's impossible, but he did leave, and the vice president of his company took his place. It seems that this time is not short."

Shen Ting frowned: "What about Lu Xinghe?"

Chu Huainan knew what he meant, but anyone who has known Lin Youbandi for more than three days must know how inseparable he and Lu Xinghe are.In the past, Chu Qiubai always blamed Lin Youband, saying that he was like a cat that hadn't been weaned yet, and the earth wouldn't turn around without Lu Xinghe.

This time it was indeed abnormal.

Not to mention that his sweetheart is still lying in the hospital, but the preparatory work for the project they collaborated with Qiao Yilan is only halfway done, and they originally planned to go to the site for field surveys this weekend. But it's really not his style to change his mind temporarily.

"Do you think he was really in a hurry, that's why he left suddenly?" Shen Ting asked.

Chu Huainan was peeling the mangosteen for him, put the tender white flesh to his mouth, and said, "I don't think so."

Shen Ting chewed and asked, "Then why did he leave suddenly?"

"It's probably related to Lu Xinghe."

"what?"

Chu Huainan took the opportunity to stuff another flap into his mouth: "There was a quarrel, or it was more serious, maybe we broke up."

"Then what do you think is the reason?"

The capitalist who was regarded by Shen Ting as Lin Youband's interpreter smiled helplessly: "I don't know about that."

"Think again." Shen Ting urged him: "According to the survey, you are the friend he has spent the longest time in China. To some extent, you should be the person who knows him best."
