Mindful

Chapter 56

Liang Cheng got out of the car and opened his umbrella, and saw Qiao Yuan standing on the steps in front of the building, and Lei Junming standing at the door, both of them showed unnatural expressions.

He is a doctor and has always believed in science, but at this moment he suddenly obeyed his intuition.He didn't wait there, and stepped into the door without thinking.

The car lights were like two balls of white fireworks, Liang Cheng walked to the side of Qiao Yuanlin with the lights behind his back, and covered his wet shoulders with the edge of his umbrella.

The atmosphere was quiet and weird, no one said a word, but adults sometimes don't have to say everything, just one or two glances at each other can give the general idea.

Standing on the last step, Liang Cheng always has the ability to turn his gaze into a condescending one. He looked at Lei Junming with concentration as if he was staring at a target, and turned the handle of his umbrella like he was swinging a dart.

Until Lei Junming couldn't help it, he said: "Yuan Lin, I'm sorry to say this to you in a hurry."

Qiao Yuanlin smelled the light breath on Liang Cheng's body, and said slowly, "I—"

Lei Junming said: "You can answer me another day."

Liang Cheng asked, "Answer what?"

"This is a matter between us." Lei Junming turned and entered the building without much confidence.

Leaving the TV station, Qiao Yuanlin sat in the back of the car as if hiding, the rain was falling fast, and Liang Cheng was driving hard, bending him several times and almost lying down.

The windshield wiper seemed to be dangling a hypnotic necklace, Qiao Yuanlin stared at it, all the messy thoughts stuck in his head - Lei Junming actually asked him, can we develop a further relationship?

Is Yue Lao crazy? The person who saved his life, gave him great happiness, and never used any means to bully him when he was most annoyed said that he would not like him at all.The person who regards him as an opponent, who lies and deceives in order to replace him, is admiration?

Qiao Yuanlin couldn't help guessing that Lei Junming's care for him since they met was partly a liking, partly a hypocrisy of jealousy.

How will he answer?When people grow up, everything becomes complicated. When you are young, you are happy with others, and you hate them, you quarrel. Your feelings are pure and brave. Now you have to be careful even when you refuse.

The more he thought about it, the more annoying he was, he sighed unconsciously, breaking most of the dullness.Raising his eyes, he pretended to glance in the rearview mirror inadvertently, but unexpectedly met Liang Cheng's waiting gaze.

Without time to move away, Liang Cheng asked, "What are you thinking?"

Qiao Yuanlin's expression was stagnant, but his mind was full of thoughts. If Liang Cheng hadn't appeared just now, would he still be so troubled?If Liang Cheng knew about it, what would his reaction be?

"I," he lied duplicity, "I'm thinking about whether to agree or not."

The narrow lens couldn't capture Liang Cheng's expression, so he could only hear his tone of voice restrained, and said, "Promise what?"

Qiao Yuanlin grabbed his knees and replied, "Lei Junming confessed his love to me."

Liang Cheng blinked twice quickly, looking forward.He raised his left elbow to close the car door, with the tiger's mouth against his chin, and the calluses on the knuckles of his index fingers rubbed against the corners of his lips.

Opening his thin lips lightly, he bit the rough skin.

Bitten and saw blood, home.

After turning off the engine, the sound of rain crackling on the roof was extremely loud, even drowning his voice, he said, "No."

Qiao Yuanlin felt cold and shrugged his shoulders: "What?"

"No." Liang Cheng repeated, "Lei Junming can't."

"What does it have to do with you?" Qiao Yuanlin whispered aggressively, "Could it be that if I want to hang myself from a tree, I won't be able to accept others in this life?"

Liang Cheng turned his face and said: "I have no right to interfere with you, but you ask yourself if you really like him? Is he worthy of what he has done?"

So just afraid of losing money?Qiao Yuanlin swallowed hard and asked, "If I meet someone who matches me, will I like it too?"

Liang Cheng pressed the button, and the seat belt snapped back, sounding like something broke.He said, "Then I will be happy for you and bless you."

Qiao Yuanlin gritted her back molars: "Thank you."

With the cold rain hitting his face, he shivered when he got out of the car, and the chill invaded his body just a few steps into the door.There was a light in the dining room, and the table was covered with a dust cover. He lost his appetite, so he went back to his room and locked the door.

Kicking off the slippers, Qiao Yuanlin lifted the thin quilt and lay down straight, feeling extremely sad.I wanted to thank you because the case was over, but now...

Those with the surname Liang will punish him and torture him.

Do you really think it's his big brother? Who the hell cares about your blessing? !

The person surnamed Liang was hesitating whether to go back to the apartment or stay overnight. He was worried, so he parked the car and entered the house, and put the sneakers that Qiao Yuanlin threw away into the cabinet.

He heated up a cup of milk, took it out of the bedroom and knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so he put it on the vase stand by the door.

After about ten minutes passed, Qiao Yuanlin couldn't hear the slightest movement.He wanted to get up and find a reason for himself. He was thirsty and hungry, and some materials were scattered on the coffee table.

Getting up and getting out of bed, he walked over and unscrewed the door.

Outside, Liang Cheng never left.

Qiao Yuanlin was stunned, clutching his hands: "You, you want to scare me to death."

Liang Cheng said "I'm sorry" expressionlessly, but opened the door forcefully, and hugged him under Qiao Yuanlin's flustered gaze.The two parents were separated by a wall, and he boldly hugged her tightly, hugging her tightly.

"I lied to you."

"what?"

"The words in the car are lying to you." Liang Cheng rubbed the back of Qiao Yuanlin's neck and whispered to explain, as if he was threatening and luring, "Whether it's Lei Junming or someone else, reject him."

Qiao Yuanlin's hands and feet became weak from being hooped, but his mouth was stiff: "Why..."

Liang Cheng calmly said: "When weaving the bell for you, I was thinking that you are very suitable, at least he will not let you suffer. When I walked out of the bar, I decided that I would never think about the day on the fifth. But if something happened to you, I will understand , he can’t, and no one can.”

"Qiao Yuanlin." He said, "I will make up for the harm I caused you, and don't want anyone else, okay?"

Click, the door next door rang.

Qiao Yuanlin was so frightened that he pushed Liang Cheng away, but he was still very close, his flat chest heaved up and down, it was unknown whether it was because of nervousness or the other party's confession just now.

Qiao Wenyuan came out with his coat on, and was taken aback when he saw them: "Are you back? There is food on the table."

There is a washroom in the master bedroom, Qiao Yuanlin asked, "Dad, why are you up?"

"There is something in the hospital, I'll go there." Qiao Wenyuan ordered, "You two have something to say in the room, don't disturb your aunt to sleep."

Qiao Yuanlin didn't dare to say that, took the opportunity to push Liang Cheng a step, and said without silver 300 taels: "My brother asked me to drink milk and didn't say anything else."

Qiao Wenyuan glared at him: "How old are you, drinking milk still makes others miss you."

"It's all right." Liang Cheng was unruffled, "Uncle Qiao, be careful driving in the rain."

After Qiao Wenyuan left, Liang Cheng took the milk and handed it to Qiao Yuanlin without saying a word.The wound on the bitten finger was bright red, Qiao Yuanlin took it, and quickly closed the door.

Behind the door, Qiao Yuanlin said, "There is a Band-Aid in the first drawer of the coffee table... I'm asleep, don't disturb me!"

The first rain in early autumn fell all night, and the dawn was delayed, and it was still cloudy after nine o'clock.

Qiao Yuanlin turned off the alarm and squinted again. When he woke up, he looked at the milk cup on the bed, and his thoughts returned. What did he mean by making up for the damage and not wanting others... Did he understand it?

After taking a shower, he put on a long-sleeved hoodie and went to the kitchen to wash with a cup.

He Jie went to work, but Qiao Wenyuan didn't come back. He thought there was no one at home, so when he walked to the door, Liang Cheng was making breakfast in the kitchen, curling up his index finger wrapped in a Band-Aid.

"Are you awake?" Liang Cheng glanced at him.

Qiao Yuanlin asked, "Aren't you going to work today?"

"Retirement." Liang Cheng peeled the hard-boiled eggs, "Let's eat."

The information on the coffee table was transferred to the dining table. Liang Cheng read it when he was looking for a band-aid last night. It was about the case of a girl who died in a hotel.But there is an extra piece of paper, which he wrote down when he called in the morning.

He pushed it to Qiao Yuanlin and said, "See if it helps."

It was written on the paper that the deceased had undergone an autopsy, and the results showed that the deceased had taken an overdose of sedative drugs during his lifetime.Refusing to investigate, the deceased was usually under too much pressure and had the habit of taking medicine, so it was impossible to judge that there must be a problem with alcohol.

Moreover, after the accident, the bar immediately wiped out the evidence, and it was difficult to trace back when the case was filed for investigation.

Qiao Yuanlin read it three times over and over again, and now that the bottom line is coming to an end, there may be a turning point for this unresolved case, which can give the deceased an explanation.

He put it away properly and asked, "Where did you know this?"

Liang Cheng originally just tried his luck, and said, "I asked Zheng Yandong, he just happened to be in touch with this case."

Qiao Yuanlin suddenly remembered that Zheng Yandong was a forensic major, and said, "How is he now, has he been in Pinghai?"

"Well, the public security system, the forensic examination and identification center." Liang Chengdao, "If you want to know more, you can contact me again."

Qiao Yuanlin said, "Thank him for me."

Liang Cheng asked: "Then how do you thank me?"

The conversation turned so quickly, Qiao Yuanlin was foolishly pinching half of an egg, and pinching it hard, the yolk fell into the rice porridge.Xu is too funny, Liang Cheng opened his mouth.

"Wait until you're done with this news." He said, "give me a day."

Qiao Yuanlin agreed, as if taking a big exam that would determine his fate. After thinking about it, he felt uneasy, his long-lost heart beating faster.

In this state, he wasn't sure whether his work efficiency should increase or slow down, but the news had already entered the final stage of production, so he could not intervene.

At the same time, the police officially closed down the Spring Breeze Bar, and various gossip spread on Vatican Street.

This Friday, the news that took a month and a half finally settled. It was exclusively reported on Octopus, and the title used the style that the column is good at - "Behind the Spring Breeze One Night"

In view of the fact that all the investigations were caused by Viagra, it was commonly called the "extraordinarily infatuated Viagra case" by netizens.

Due to the limited duration of the program, it will be aired continuously for four days.From the black deal in the bar to the murder case, to the health care product company, the tutoring institution, and Liu Yi and Liu Gang's previous convictions.Entertainment, workplace, education, and health preservation have a wide range of influences, touching people of all ages.

If the previous interview only had some repercussions in Pinghai, the news this time caused waves all over the country.The ratings in the four days have soared, and it is extremely sensational. Octopus's half-dead official Weibo account is almost overwhelmed by messages.

The ending of the bar owner, the list of members, the loopholes in the supervision of health care products companies, the unspoken rules of the workplace... Various media rushed in, scrambling to pick up the remaining lingering news of their small columns.

At the beginning of the program, Qiao Yuanlin kicked off as a victim, and ended with his confession at the end.

He did not appear on camera, only voice-over, saying: "Life is full of potholes, I accidentally fell down, not only have to get up, but also to spread the word that there is a pit here, to find out why there is a pothole here, to warn others to be careful , we must do our best to fill this rotten hole.”

At the end of the speech, the subtitles rolled, and his name was no longer "victim" but "investigative reporter".

The whole news center paid attention to this matter. After the exclusive interview, Qiao Yuanlin fought another beautiful battle for Octopus and for himself.

He thought he would get great satisfaction, but he didn't expect to feel more relaxed, the boulder in his heart was completely removed, and he even breathed lightly.

The column group was as lively as New Year's Eve, clamoring for a celebration banquet. It was rare for Bao Chunshan not to curse, and he couldn't help laughing when he announced the day off.

Qiao Yuanlin showed his strength in this wave, carrying his bag to leave work, and greeted him every time someone entered the elevator.The senior ones praised him for his bright future, while the young ones praised him for being brave and resourceful. Maybe he was being polite, but he was really shy.

On the first floor, he walked out quickly, the phone rang, Liang Cheng called.

Qiao Yuanlin remembered the agreement a few days ago, and his heart skipped a beat. He slowed down and walked out, and answered the passage: "Hello?"

Inside, Liang Cheng said, "I'm at the entrance of the TV station."

Qiao Yuanlin let out an "ah", and his relaxed heart muscle contracted a little bit. When he walked out of the building, he saw Liang Cheng waiting in front of the guard room.

Clouds had been floating around for several days, but today it cleared up, and Liang Cheng's black shirt was glowing with a layer of luster.He was straight and lazy, as he was back then, with a light accent outside the classroom, asking Qiao Yuanlin to come out for a while.

Now Qiao Yuanlin came out, holding up the phone.

Liang Cheng didn't seem to want to wait any longer, and walked towards him.

He uttered a trivial syllable: "Hmm."

Before hanging up, Liang Cheng said, "Qiao Yuanlin, I have something to tell you."

Stepping down the steps, Qiao Yuanlin parted her lips slightly, her nose fluttered as if she couldn't breathe.

Qiuyang hangs above his head, boom, boom, the chaotic heartbeat intertwined with the busy voice in his ear.

Suddenly, the phone slipped and he lost all strength.

Qiao Yuanlin closed his eyes. Just a second before he fell into a coma, the tired bird returned to his nest or threw himself into a trap, and he fell into Liang Cheng's arms.
