Xingchuan

Ling Yi really couldn't remember exactly how long the night before.

At six o'clock in the morning of the next day, before dawn, the alarm clock that had been set started arguing in the small dark and warm room.The mobile phone was placed next to the pillow in advance, so Ling Yi woke up quickly, reached out and quickly turned off the alarm clock.

The surroundings are quiet, the bed is warm, and the breathing is slow and long.Li Xingchuan was still in a deep sleep.

He crept up to get dressed, much slower than usual.It was too crazy last night, and now every step I take, my back is tearing and hurting, and my thighs are also very sore after lifting up for most of the night.But he had to go. If he didn't go, his mother and Yang Bin would wake up. At that time, he couldn't explain why he disappeared all night.

In fact, he was very reluctant to leave.

After putting on the sweater, he went to the bathroom with the light of his mobile phone, intending to wash up briefly.

There was a used dark gray towel beside the sink, with clear marks and marks on it, it should have been used by Li Xingchuan to clean him up last night.Thinking of those sweaty backs and earburns, he stood for a while, silently walked to the mirror, picked up a handful of cold water, and patted his face with ice.

Looking up, I saw the light from the mobile phone hitting my face, and my cheeks in the mirror were flushed.At first I thought it was due to my emotions, but when I applied the back of my hand, my forehead turned hot, which turned out to be a fever.No wonder I always felt top-heavy when I was walking just now, and my legs felt like they were stepping on cotton.

Back in the room, a few strands of light had penetrated through the gaps in the curtains.Li Xingchuan on the bed had his eyes closed, his facial features were half shadowed and half clear, his silhouette was extremely deep and handsome, and there were still a few scratches from his hands on his neck.

Ling Yi lowered her eyes and smiled.

Why did he strike so hard, Xingchuan was not angry at all.

After standing for a while, he saved this scene with a photo.After watching it for a while, the memory acted as a painter, drawing all the details in my heart, and then put the phone away again.A few years later, Ling Yi rejoiced that she had such a good habit. The drawer of memory was full of awakenings, so that she didn't feel miserable when she was in despair.

Before leaving to take the clothes, I accidentally touched Xingchuan's backpack on the chair, and accidentally saw the amulet hanging on it.Impulsively, Ling Yi sat down at the table and carefully took out the talisman paper."Everything is safe" printed on the front is already a good vision, but he is still greedy, and wrote "I don't want you to wake up" on the back.

Just as he went back to the fortress, Li Xingchuan turned around behind him, as if he was about to wake up.Panicked, he didn't have time to put the talisman paper away, so he could only get up and leave immediately. After walking out of the room, he let out a sigh of relief and patted his chest, it was dangerous.

Put the note in your wallet for the time being, and return it to its original place when you return to Linjiang.

Quietly into the empty corridor, there is a faint musty smell in the cold air.Ling Yi zipped her coat to the top, and slowly descended the stairs while holding on to the handrail.By the time I got to the street, I was already sweating profusely.

It was clearly 06:30 in the morning, but the street lights were still on far away, making it difficult to distinguish day from night.

When I came here last night, because of the lit light boxes, I didn’t realize how desolate the streets here are, but now I can taste the real taste.There are several hotels close together in the narrow and dilapidated alleys, cigarette butts are strewn all over the potholed road, and the corners of the walls are covered with moss and fallen leaves.

Before going out of the alley, a few thin and short young men walked up to him, with disheveled hairstyles and a strong smell of cigarettes, and bumped into Ling Yi as he passed by.

"I'm sorry." He walked past with his head down, not wanting to cause trouble.After crossing the intersection, I wanted to get a bus card, but when I touched it, I found that my wallet was missing, so I ran back to look for it.

The group of people didn't know whether they were lawless or didn't take him seriously, so they didn't go far at all, they just squatted and smoked in a nearby alley.Ling Yi was not feeling well and did not dare to confront them head-on.But there are bank cards, ID cards, [-] yuan in cash, and the note with a good vision in the wallet.

"Excuse me, have you seen my wallet?"

Several people glanced at him and told him to roll.

He stepped forward and confronted tactfully: "Just now you bumped into me, and my wallet dropped, did you 'pick up' it?"

Unexpectedly, instead of being afraid, the group of people got up and stared at him fiercely: "Who took your wallet, do you have evidence?"

Ling Yi has no other advantages, and her ability to remember people has always been better than others.He recognized at a glance who bumped into him just now, walked up to the other party and said in a gentle voice, "I won't call the police, can you return the wallet to me."

Such a neither soft nor hard attitude made the other party angry.When they saw him, they were alone, and the other party expected him to be a bully, and punched and kicked him while pushing and shoving.With a high fever, he couldn't use his limbs, but he kept holding on to that person, and even reached for his wallet through the pocket of his coat.

Just at this time, two sanitation workers passed by the intersection, and he turned his head and shouted: "Help, there are thieves!"

As soon as the words were finished, there was a squeak, and a sharp knife pierced his lower abdomen, causing him to bend down in pain immediately.Those few people saw the opportunity and ran away, throwing their empty wallets into the puddle on the ground.Ling Yi clutched her stomach and squatted down in embarrassment, and even in the dizziness, she still didn't forget to pick up her wallet.

At 09:30 in the morning, Li Xingchuan woke up hungry, and when he opened his eyes, there was no one around him.In order for him to sleep better, Ling Yi specially adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner before leaving, and washed the towel from last night and soaked it in water and folded it on the bedside table, so at this moment he didn't feel dry and uncomfortable in his throat.

It was bright outside and the room smelled bad.After sitting on the bed for a while and regaining consciousness, Li Xingchuan turned on his phone, but there wasn't a single new message he wanted to see, it was all New Year's greeting text messages.

Tell him to be quiet, he really walked quietly.

Li Xingchuan frowned irritably.

After washing his face, he sat down to pack his things. There was a used pen on the table, and the cap hadn't been put back on. He picked it up and looked at it.

Who used it, Ling Yi?Write what.

But there was only a pen and no paper on the table, and no "criminal evidence" was left.Li Xingchuan looked around, there was nothing more than nothing in the room.I walked over and opened the window, and the road next to the outside was full of cars and people, children and adults who didn't have to go to work were lined up in the early shop, and the laughter sounded warm and peaceful.

I did too hard last night, I don't know if Ling Yi went back to eat.

He stood by the window and took out his cell phone.

No one answered the first time, but after seven or eight rings the second time, it was finally connected.

He sneered: "Lie down again?"

There was a moment of silence, a woman's voice: "Are you Xingchuan?"

"Auntie." He stood at attention.

"Xingchuan, have you also heard about Ling Yi's injury?"

"Injured?" The hand holding the edge of the window suddenly tightened, "What hurt?"

Ling Suhui's voice was a little hoarse, as if she had just cried: "I didn't see him when I got up early, and I thought he was out to play. Who knew he ran to the street before dawn and met a group of thieves. You said he was really Yes, if you lose your wallet, you will lose it. There are so many people in the family, and this silly child is still arguing with others." She sobbed softly, "Blood flowed all over the sweater. The doctor said that fortunately, the other party didn't think about him If it goes any deeper, it will hurt the intestines."

She wanted to talk again, but Li Xingchuan hurriedly interrupted: "Which hospital is he in now?"

"At our central hospital here, the stitches have just been done. You want to talk to him, right? He can't talk yet, he's in a daze of pain. I'll ask him to call you when he gets better."

After hanging up, Li Xingchuan cursed a long time ago, put on his clothes and ran to the hospital.

Arriving there in 10 minutes, the emergency room was as chaotic as a morning market, with wheelchairs, crutches, and extra beds. It was not easy to find someone.He shuttled back and forth in the hall for a whole time, and finally saw Ling Suhui from a distance outside a certain ward.

and a figure lying behind the light blue curtain.

The wards are temporary and simple, with no furnishings except beds and tables.Not long after, Ling Suhui came out with a bunch of bills, and went downstairs with her bag, maybe to pay the fee.

When Li Xingchuan entered, Ling Yi closed his eyes.

A blood-stained coat was draped on a chair beside him, and he was covered with a thin quilt, his lips were white, and he pressed the corner of the quilt with his hands.

very quiet.

Lying down is as supple as last night.Because he sweated too much, his wet hair lay on his forehead as if he had just washed it, and the contrast between his thick black hair and his pale face was even more striking.

hum-

The phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, and Li Xingchuan looked down, it was his mother Li Wei calling.

He just hung up.

When he raised his head again, Ling Yi opened his eyes at some point, and his eyes met with a silly expression.

"Xingchuan, why are you here?" His voice was completely hoarse, he didn't know whether it was from weakness or from shouting too much yesterday.

Running all the way, Li Xingchuan's back was covered with sweat.Standing in the ward and looking at him now, his body was sweating and turned cold in vain.

"How do you know I'm here?" Ling Yi asked.

Li Xingchuan walked over, with a bad expression on his face: "Call you, Auntie will answer."

Only then did Ling Yi show a clear expression, and smiled while holding the corner of his mouth.

"You can still laugh?"

Ling Yi lowered her eyes, staring at her left hand on the quilt: "It's fine."

The next moment, his wrist was pulled impatiently, "I'm still showing off even if the knife is stuck in my body."

Ling Yi twitched his wrist, but didn't pull it out, but just kept his head closed and didn't look at him: "It's my bad luck, I ran into a thief as soon as I got out of the hotel."

"I think you are not unlucky, but stupid."

"You say yes," Ling Yi didn't get angry with him, and gently took his hand, "My mother won't be back for a while, you sit down."

Li Xingchuan frowned after sitting down.

"Do you want to drink water?" Ling Yi even made a gesture to sit up, "It's in the kettle over there, and you may need to ask the nurse for a cup."

Li Xingchuan kicked as soon as he lifted his foot, and the foot of the steel bed slammed.

"To shut up."

Ling Yi's shoulders shrank instinctively, and she stopped talking.

There were birds chirping outside the window and shouts in the corridor, which made the ward even quieter.It should have been a precious few minutes, but the two just let it go by, waiting for the separation to come.

There were footsteps passing by outside the door, Ling Yi couldn't help looking away, fearing that her mother had come back.

Li Xingchuan looked at his expression, gave a low snort, stood up and was about to leave.

"Xingchuan," Ling Yi called him in a low voice, "Xingchuan—"

He ignored it.

As soon as he walked to the door, there was a hiss of extreme pain, and then there was a movement of falling on the bed.

His heart skipped a beat, he turned around and saw that Ling Yi seemed to have fainted, and immediately ran over: "Ling Yi, Ling Yi!"

Ling Yi closed her eyes tightly.

No, you have to call a doctor.

As soon as he turned around, his wrist was caught off guard.

"I'm fine, don't go."

The soft sunlight shone on Ling Yi's face, with an expression of pleading and praying.He stared at Li Xingchuan intently, his lips were drawn into a line, and he refused to let go.

"Don't go. I'm really fine. That's how I lied to my mother just now, lest she ask me where I was yesterday. "

Li Xingchuan swung his hand away, his face was ashen, but his feet were nailed in place.

"Xingchuan..."

"Do you have any brains, you have to be happy if something happens?"

"I even found out that they stole my wallet, so I must take it back."

"So a little money is more important than a life?"

"It's not just a little, it's hundreds, and you know I don't have much money."

"Won't you tell me if you want money? Let me know that you don't want money, and don't look for me in the future."

Ling Yi was in a hurry: "Xingchuan, Xingchuan, don't be angry, it was my fault, I won't dare to do it again next time."

"How dare you have a next time!"

"I dare not, Xingchuan, I—"

Before the words were finished, the curtain was suddenly pulled tight.Li Xingchuan leaned over and pulled the quilt over his head, and kissed Ling Yi heavily in the quilt.

In the dark and confined space, the heartbeat is infinitely magnified.

Xingchuan's face could not be seen, only the warmth of his lips could be felt.Ling Yi widened her eyes in astonishment.

The kiss he had been waiting for for so long finally came, which made him feel like a dream.But Li Xingchuan's kiss was brutal, fierce and relentless, which made him feel a little painful.

Pain is real.

From enduring to enjoying, his fingers slowly grabbed the bed sheet, and fell into the vortex named Li Xingchuan.
