the other side of the fireworks

Xia Fengshu breathed a sigh of relief. With the window behind him, he could hear the noise of people outside, which must have attracted a large number of spectators.The bag was turned upside down, the empty wallet was thrown in the corner, and the key bag was dropped not far in front of him.Xia Fengshu grabbed the door key as quickly as possible, opened the window quickly with all his strength, and threw the key out.Then she hugged her head and curled her body, she knew that more fierce fists were coming next.

There was a crisp sound, the sound of glass shattering, and a loud noise came from above her head. Xia Fengshu fainted for a few minutes. When she woke up, the door had opened, and Tong Zhan's face was in front of her eyes.She cried and grabbed Tong Zhan's clothes tightly. This man would only hurt her, not kill her.

"I'm late. I don't know where you live. I called the bank and asked for a long time. The ambulance is coming. Don't be afraid, I will accompany you."

Tears thinned the blood, "I don't want to go to the hospital."

"how?"

At this time, Xia Fengshu heard the shutter sound of the camera, and she hurriedly buried her face in Tong Zhan's chest. Tong Zhan understood. He covered Xia Fengshu's head with his coat, hugged her to avoid reporters' inquiries, and wore Pass the dense crowd and drive away.

Li Yimin saw Xia Fengshu's father at the police station, and it was then that he knew that Xia Fengshu was almost beaten to death.The police detained the beating person, but they could not contact the person who was beaten.

The next day's Zaobao Social Edition published this news. At this time, Xia Fengshu was hiding in Qin Youtao's apartment. Tong Zhan brought her here. This place can avoid a more troublesome person, Zhou Yanran.

That night, Tong Zhan invited an acquainted doctor to the apartment to treat Xia Fengshu's wound, and prepared to go to the hospital for a more detailed examination tomorrow.Xia Fengshu fell asleep, looking like the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Tong Zhan was sitting not far from her. He was sitting here with the determination to never leave. Is that man really Xia Fengshu's father?With such a father, how did Xia Fengshu survive to this day?Except for the bench, everything in the room greeted Xia Fengshu's body, did he beat his daughter like this just for money?

Qin Youtao came and listened to the whole process. He was interested in Xia Fengshu's calmness. If throwing the key through the window is an instinct to survive, then refusing to go to the hospital is her natural judgment. The whole body examination will inevitably spread. The fact that she was pregnant, this little secret cannot withstand the media's inquiry.The sober Tong Zhan didn't expect it, but the confused Xia Fengshu did.

The bones are not broken, the internal organs are not injured, and the fetus in the stomach is safe and sound. Xia Fengshu's tenacity seems to be not only in the spirit, but perhaps because she has learned to protect herself in a long-term violent life.Because she was pregnant, she couldn't take anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers. The doctor didn't know that she didn't want this child, and Xia Fengshu didn't emphasize this point.She has never taken medicine for being beaten since she was a child, and she is used to the pain.

She would not sue the person who beat her. After leaving the police station, the person left with 5000 yuan. Did he go home?Xia Fengshu was a little worried. If that person disappeared, her mother would call and ask, how to explain.

"Fortunately, the face was not hurt." Tong Zhan held Xia Fengshu's face carefully, then suddenly kissed her on the forehead, and said with a smile, "I can't hold back."

Unexpectedly, Xia Fengshu hugged his waist.

Tong Zhan was taken aback by this sudden tenderness.

Xia Fengshu leaned completely on Tong Zhan's body, thinking about nothing but wanting to lean on.

Is this woman all mine?Tong Zhan hugged suspiciously.

Xia Fengshu fell asleep, and when he woke up, the sun was setting, and the afterglow passed through the window screens to smudge the whole room. Tong Zhan was not there, and the pain in his body made Xia Fengshu's drowsiness dissipate very quickly, his head was groggy and wrapped in gauze , Tong Zhan asked her for a week's leave, and the matter of being beaten has already been reflected. It is no problem to grant leave, but it will have a bad impact on her future.

She wanted to look in the mirror, she had been floating up and down since she was engaged in hairdressing, and now it seemed that her feet were only touching the ground.This apartment has been lived in for a day, but it is still unfamiliar.

It can be seen that the homeowner likes gray and blue, and the tones in the bathroom are dominated by these two colors, which are a little dark, like the residence of a taciturn man.Qin Youtao is such a man, right? Xia Fengshu's eyes shifted, and he stared at himself in the mirror. A pale, lifeless woman, if her eyes were not open, she would have died, and her face seemed to be drained of blood. Beautiful, but also eerily beautiful.

"What's wrong with me?" Xia Fengshu took two steps back in fear. When was the last time he looked in the mirror?A long time ago, I compared the height of the nose and the width of the lips with Xu An in front of the mirror.Xia Fengshu suddenly burst into tears, his voice was as loud as a roar, and a puff of Qi deposited in his body also gushed out, causing tears to pour down.Her body gradually weakened, she simply sat on the ground, her mind went blank, she just cried mechanically.Someone came in and gently held her arm, and she leaned against that person's arms, crying harder as if she was drawing strength.

Xia Fengshu thought back to whether she would have leaned in his arms if she knew that that person was Qin Youtao just now, yes, she was like a beggar who had walked thousands of miles, begging for care and help along the street.It turned out that her body was hollowed out after making that phone call to Xu An, and she lived like a walking corpse in the following days, until she became pregnant in a daze, was beaten miserably, and walked up to now alone, she couldn't hold on Living.

"Tong Zhan has something urgent to go home, so he asked me to take care of you." Qin Youtao's explanation was simple and clear, and the arrangements were well-organized, dinner, dressing, and then he sat in the living room and watched TV.Just like the first time we met, he made occasional phone calls and always looked serious.

Xia Fengshu wanted to say something sorry and thank you, but the man's expression was to eliminate the topic.

Feeling a little unwelcome, Xia Fengshu sat on the bed and couldn't think of a place to go for a while. Can he go back to that home?Thinking of home, she immediately thought of her mother. Xia Fengshu quickly found her cell phone. She must have been calling at home in the past two days.

As soon as I turned it on, the phone showed low battery, but a call came in, and the caller turned out to be Lan Weiqing, "Is it you that was mentioned in the newspaper?"

"Ok?"

"Is that Xia Moumou in the morning paper you? You can't see the face in the photo, but I think it looks like you."

"What newspaper?"

"I went to your unit in the afternoon and said that you were on sick leave. Xia Fengshu, is it you that unlucky ghost who was beaten in the report?"

"Ah." Faced with such a question, Xia Fengshu couldn't think of a suitable answer for a while.

"Where are you, I'll go see you!"

"I'm here..." It's not that Xia Fengshu doesn't want to say it, but she doesn't know the address here.

"What do you mean, you don't want me to go!"

Xia Fengshu asked Qin Youtao's permission before giving Lan Weiqing's address. When the doorbell rang, Qin Youtao opened the door.Lan Weiqing came, and her footsteps were hurried, as if she would not stop for anyone.

"Who is this man! The one in the newspaper is not him."

Xia Fengshu didn't know where to start, so he simply didn't speak.

"Not welcome, didn't you say you like to be friends with me?"

"I didn't expect to communicate in this way." Xia Fengshu slowly sat on the bed, in fact, she felt pain every time she moved.

"I like excitement, so I made a special trip to see it." Lan Weiqing had nothing good to say.

Xia Fengshu didn't take it seriously, "You can come to see whatever you want, I'll be very happy if you can."

"Let me see, it's a good thing your face is fine." Lan Weiqing grabbed Xia Fengshu's chin and looked left and right, and suddenly saw Yu Qing on the back of her neck, a large patch of ink stained her back.Lan Weiqing could no longer speak in a gloating tone. She took a taxi across half of the city to come here, and she was not just driven by curiosity. "Checked? Are the bones not broken?"

"No, it's just a soft tissue contusion." Xia Fengshu turned sideways slightly, avoiding her hand.

"Evil comes with evil." Lan Weiqing said nonchalantly, "But it's still cheap for you."

Qin Youtao knocked on the door, "There are drinks in the kitchen, you can help yourself."

"I'd like a cup of coffee, thank you." Lan Weiqing was very rude, as if she couldn't understand what Qin Youtao said.

Xia Fengshu said, "I'll come."

Qin Youtao waved his hand and turned to go to the kitchen.Lan Weiqing said to Xia Fengshu: "Why, you can't bear to order him around."

"Why should I order others?"

"You mean, you and him are not..."

"No."

"Then why live here?"

"He is his friend." Xia Fengshu didn't know if this explanation was clear enough.

Lan Weiqing naturally understood. "This guy is a rich guy, and this apartment is worth at least 300 million. The chair I'm sitting on is also worth more than 1 yuan."

"Where do you work, realtor?"

"It used to be a travel agency, but now it sells insurance. My business card!"

"Marketing manager, the title is not small."

"Fuck, change jobs if you change boyfriends. Do whatever you want to make money." Lan Weiqing said casually, "Xia Fengshu, do you know why I came to see you?"

"No matter what I say, you will deny it. I still don't guess."

"Sly woman, I'm here to see what kind of man you have taken refuge in."

Qin Youtao came in with a cup of coffee, Lan Weiqing stepped forward to say thank you, and then handed over a business card, "I'm Xia Fengshu's best friend, please buy some insurance for me!"

Qin Youtao took the business card and walked away, Lan Weiqing seemed to want to have a deep chat, Xia Fengshu said: "I'm enough to trouble people, why don't you be so ignorant?"

Lan Weiqing grinned, "What's the relationship between him and your him?"

"I don't know."

"I'm interested in him."

Lan Weiqing didn't hide her utilitarianism at all, and Xia Fengshu didn't stop her, "Then go find him, I'm going to sleep."

"Issuing an order to evict guests." Lan Weiqing looked at the big bed and said, "I won't leave, I'll spend the night here."

It's not sexy for a woman to snore. Lan Weiqing is the one who sleeps on the head, and Xia Fengshu's nerves are already quite fragile under the shadow of violence.

After leaving the bedroom, she wanted to drink a glass of water. The lamp in the living room was on, and Qin Youtao was reading documents on the sofa.The two didn't say hello, and in the silence of the night, it's a virtue not to disturb each other.

After drinking the water, Xia Fengshu vomited, and his whole body ached, because vomiting was a whole body movement.Xia Fengshu supported the sink to prevent himself from falling because of the pain in his lower abdomen.After the pain gradually subsided, he walked back to the bedroom with his body supported.

Qin Youtao remained calm.

The next day, Tong Zhan still didn't come, and Qin Youtao didn't leave the apartment, Xia Fengshu felt a little uneasy, "I'm fine, you don't have to stay with me."

Qin Youtao said to the papers on the coffee table, "Tong Zhan will come tonight."

"I'm fine." Xia Fengshu emphasized.

Qin Youtao ignored him and focused on reading the documents.Xia Fengshu made fun of it.

Mom finally called and asked about that person's situation. Obviously, she didn't know what happened here. Xia Fengshu couldn't tell the truth, so he had to lie and say everything was fine.After hanging up the phone, she began to think about the whereabouts of that person.The only person in the know is Li Yimin, who hasn't communicated with Li Yimin since moving here.

Xia Fengshu dialed Li Yimin's phone number, and the other party's voice was cold and alienated.Xia Fengshu was neither surprised nor sad.

"I sent him to the train station, and he bought a ticket back to his hometown, but I didn't watch him get on the train."

"Did he not contact you again?"

"No. Didn't he go back to his hometown?"

"En." Xia Fengshu's heart sank, and he still wanted to thank him politely. "sorry to bother you."

"Where are you going?"

"Anyway, thank you for helping me so much." Xia Fengshu wanted to hang up the phone.

"Are you feeling better?"

"I am fine."

"If you have any news, tell me, I will definitely check it for you."

"Thank you."

Regarding the whereabouts of that person, Xia Fengshu is not clueless, all he cares about is wine and his son.If it is not going home, it is likely to go to sue.

When people are on the verge of extinction, people's thinking will change. In fact, it is to look at and think from a different angle.

Without Tong Zhan, Xia Fengshu's situation would be much worse than it is now.

If work is her foothold in this city, this accident will shake her foothold, her privacy, her family, which she does not want to reveal to the world, will have nothing to hide, and she will be sympathized and ridiculed by people. Life is better than death.

Tong Zhan gave her a support, and it was almost impossible to check whether it was reliable, Xia Fengshu had no choice but to fall towards him.

Abortion surgery can't be done for the time being, Xia Fengshu's body can't stand the toss, and his spirit can't do it either.

Lan Weiqing is here again.

This person is not an outsider by nature, there is no place she dare not go, no one she can't talk to.She was three-part pretty and seven-part dressed, and she tried her best to make herself dazzling, which was completely different from Xia Fengshu. Xia Fengshu, who grew up with low self-esteem, always wanted to shrink herself, and hated others before others hated herself.She worked hard to survive silently, and Lan Weiqing was beating drums to promote herself, fearing that others would not see her existence.

However, although this person is ostentatious, he is not annoying.

Qin Youtao became her new target. She came to visit Xia Fengshu with a fruit basket, and as soon as she turned her head, she sat beside Qin Youtao selling insurance.

Men's frowning is a kind of charm, with a kind of unfathomable atmosphere. When Lan Weiqing described Qin Youtao to Xia Fengshu like this, Xia Fengshu thought it was the helplessness of being harassed and having nowhere to hide.

Anyway, Lan Weiqing sold a set of 20 insurance policies.

"Don't look down on me, no matter what, I don't live in a dilapidated rental house like yours, and I don't live in a shabby house like yours. I use CUCCI's wallet, and the cash is no less than two thousand, □□N pieces, never maxed out .I only have boyfriends and don’t get married. I don’t care about mistresses and mistresses. If I save enough capital, I can live the life I want and do whatever I want. Xia Fengshu, you should admire me!"

Xia Fengshu nodded.

"What about you? What's your goal? To be straight and fit into mainstream society?"

Xia Fengshu didn't know how to answer, her goal was to get a house, bring her mother over from her hometown, get rid of domestic violence and live a good life.She will do everything to please her mother, including getting married.At this point, she realized that it was too difficult, she couldn't pull her mother out of that house, because her mother didn't want to come out.The way to save mom might be to save the whole family, how much strength would that take?

Lan Weiqing seemed to understand her confusion, "No matter what your goal is, once you make up your mind, you can't look around and run to the end. You just dumped Xu An, and you dumped it neatly. I like you !"

Xia Fengshu glared at Lan Weiqing.

Lan Weiqing said unrelentingly: "If you don't do a few bad things in your life and step on a few people's shoulders, you will never reach the height you want."

"Did you forget how you scolded me before?"

"Xu An is an exception. I am paranoid that she is the only person in the world worthy of your love."

"why?"

"The unrealistic is often the best."
