The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

When Qi Chensheng led He Chengdong down the stairs, he happened to meet Wang Luan walking from the grass outside the door on crutches.

At this moment, Qiuyang also seemed to be enveloped in warmth, reflecting Wang Luan's slightly smiling eyebrows. After these days of recuperation, although he was still weak and seriously ill, his body seemed to be much lighter.Coupled with the undulating hem of the lichen under the body like a golden feather dragging the ground, it really looks like a gorgeous canary bird at this moment, living in the garden carefully built for him by the master.

"Shen Sheng, you want to go out?"

While speaking, Wang Luan had already handed the crutch in his hand to Feng Shan who was behind him, and tried to walk slowly towards Qi Chensheng, but before he could take a few steps, the annoying pain in his knee caused a twitch on his leg. Soft, looking at the body will tilt to fall.

Qi Chensheng immediately stepped forward and held him firmly in his arms. Although his voice was still forceful, he couldn't hide his helpless tenderness: "Brother Ninth, why are you in a hurry? Didn't the doctor say that you I'll have to use crutches for a while."

"If there is a next time, I really won't let you go out."

Wang Luan listened to his coaxing and intimidating words, and when they first met again, the fear born of guilt had already melted away in the tenderness of love during these days.

Now he just put his arms around Qi Chensheng's neck, leaned softly on his shoulder, coughed and panted softly and said: "Ahem, cough, I am wrong this time, and it made Qi Ershao worry again."

Qi Chensheng didn't seem satisfied with such a title, hugged Wang Luan without saying a word, turned around and was about to go upstairs.

"You—" Sensing Qi Chensheng's intentions, Wang Luan couldn't help reaching out to pat Qi Chensheng's back, "Aren't you going out? Why did you go back?"

Qi Chensheng lowered his eyes to look at Wang Luan in his arms, but he didn't stop walking, he just said lightly: "I want to go out, but I don't worry about Brother Jiu going upstairs by himself, so I will send you back first."

"But I don't want to go back." With a little strength in his arms, Wang Luan lifted himself up slightly from Qi Chensheng's arms, looked into his eyes and said, "Where is Chen Sheng going? Just take me with you."

Qi Chensheng's steps paused for a while, and when he met Wang Luan, he seemed to feel that Wang Luan had already guessed where he was going, but after a while, he still said: "It's just that a new batch of machines has arrived at the river port. I went to walk around the scene of the inspection, it doesn't matter if there are too many people, Brother Jiu has been walking outside for so long, it's time to go back and rest."

"But I want to go with you." Wang Luan looked at his finger, the crimson ring reflecting the autumn sun, but he was not as easy to talk to as usual.

"No matter where we go, ahem, I want to go with you."

"Ninth Brother..." If he was only suspicious just now, then Qi Chensheng had to be sure at this moment, and Wang Luan must have guessed it--also, how could he hide these things from Ninth Brother.

Holding Qi Chensheng in his arms, he stopped on the semi-circular staircase in the small hall. The two figures were vaguely reflected on the shiny marble floor tiles.

In the end, Qi Chensheng backed away. He lowered his head and kissed Wang Luan's forehead lightly. After a long time, he said, "Okay, let's go there together."

After getting the answer, Wang Luan raised his head and touched Qi Chensheng's lips as if to appease, and then he kissed him deeper.Although breathing became more and more difficult because of this, he did not resist, but contained and responded as much as possible.

Yes, he could guess what Qi Chensheng was going to do. Ever since Qi Chensheng told him that another person surnamed Wang had appeared that night, Wang Luan knew that Qi Chensheng would not let go of this clue to track down Wang Mingsheng.So for the past few days, he has been secretly paying attention to Qi Chensheng's movements, just for this moment.

----

The black car left the small western-style building and drove towards the southeast. It didn't take long for the street outside the car window to gradually change. Qingyangfang in autumn is quite interesting.

In front of the exotic foreign-style buildings, the tall plane trees are no longer lush green leaves.All the leaves are dyed golden, as long as the wind blows, they will fall from the branches, and then lazily fall to the ground, gradually spreading into a thick layer like a blanket, as the road stretches forward, you can't see the end.

The weather is rare and sunny, and there are more pedestrians on the street. They seem to be infected by the autumn atmosphere, and they are no longer in a hurry when they walk, but they also have a sense of leisure.

The car was not driving fast, and Wang Luan's complicated mood gradually calmed down invisibly following the autumn scenery in front of him.

He held Qi Chensheng's hand, looked out the window, and saw three or four blond girls in foreign dresses, holding a smooth-haired dog in their hands, walking on the fallen leaf road and talking about something while laughing.They unexpectedly encountered an old man begging on the street. Although they didn't take a second look, they dropped a few coins and walked away without any worries.

Seeing the money coming, the old man hurriedly dragged his broken leg, knelt and bowed, entangled behind the girls, refusing to leave no matter what, until the passing patrol came, and then fled with the broken bowl for begging.

Wang Luan, who was sitting in the car, stared at the scene in a daze.The slow-moving car allowed him to see clearly that the old man begging on the street...was his father, Wang Quanfu.

Ever since he was taken away by Qi Chensheng in Laosheng Tea House, he has never seen Wang Quanfu again.He knew that Qi Chensheng might not really kill him, but it was impossible to let him go easily.

Later, when Wang Gui came to the door, he also told him about the situation at home, but he didn't want to be in the situation of begging on the street in just a few months.

"Ninth brother saw it?" At this moment, Qi Chensheng's voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Wang Luan came back to his senses, and was embraced by Qi Chensheng, and nodded after a while.

"He's quite courageous, and he only picks places for foreigners. If he's lucky, he might be able to get a lot of money in a day." Qi Chensheng naturally also saw Wang Quanfu on the side of the street, narrowed his gray eyes, and said lightly: "More than that." It's him, I heard people say that Wang Gui is also nearby - he has all the hands and feet, but it's a pity that he can't speak without his tongue, so it should be about the same."

Wang Luan's hands couldn't help tightening, yes... no matter how gentle and tolerant Qi Chensheng was in front of him.But to outsiders, he is still the ruthless Qi Ershao.

"Ninth brother, do you think I've done too much?" Qi Chensheng slowly approached behind Wang Luan, wrapped his strong arms around his waist, and pulled him into his arms.

"That man was your father in vain. It's fine to sell you into the Wang family, but he's going to sell you to that kind of place—"

Qi Chensheng kept his tone as calm as possible, but the arms around Wang Luan's waist became tighter and tighter. He couldn't imagine what would happen to the person in his arms if it wasn't in Yunchuan, if he didn't get the news in time? !

The unspeakable fear turned into burning anger. God knows how he endured Wang Quanfu's life that day.

"Shen Sheng?" Wang Luan noticed that Qi Chensheng was filled with resentment, and immediately turned back to lean in his arms, stretched out a cool hand to caress his face, and called softly: "Shen Sheng, I'm here...it's okay ,It's in the past."

Qi Chensheng looked at Wang Luan's face, panting violently, but couldn't help but press his back hard, hugging him tighter and tighter, but the hostility in the gray eyes still couldn't dissipate.

"There is also Wang Gui, Brother Nine, despite his young age, he has a big heart."

"It's from him that Qi Shangwen learned about you, that's why he spread those nasty words."

"The little bastard came to Qi Shangwen with Wang Quanfu later. As long as they give money, they will say and do anything--I have thought about letting them go, but they are not greedy enough. , you should learn that lesson."

"Cough, cough, cough... Chen Sheng..." Wang Luan coughed heavily after listening to these evil things, Qi Chensheng let go of his hand as if he had just woken up from a dream, and then quickly patted Wang Luan's back.

"Ninth Brother!"

"It's my fault, I shouldn't have said these things."

Wang Luan held his hand tightly again. Although he was coughing and panting and couldn't speak, he still shook his head with all his strength, and fell weakly on Qi Chensheng's chest. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice:

"How could I blame you."

His fingers passed between Qi Chensheng's, but Wei Liang calmed down the other party's mind.

"It's what they deserve. Instead, I want to thank you... for taking care of them for me."

"Brother Ninth," Qi Chensheng discerned Wang Luan's expression and was relieved after making sure that he wasn't speaking ironically. He hugged him and sighed silently: "Just don't blame me, there's no need to thank me."

In Qi Chensheng's arms, Wang Luan closed his eyes and took a rest, and then said: "I don't really care about them for a long time."

"I was sent to Wang's family since I was a child. In fact, I don't have much relationship with them. Cough cough cough, I just hope that in the future, I will treat them as complete strangers."

The car continued to move forward, Wang Luan wanted to turn around and take one last look at Wang Quanfu, but Qi Chensheng covered his eyes.He tried his best to suppress all the hostility again, leaving only Wang Luan's warm palm:

"Since you have decided to be a stranger, brother Jiu should stop watching."

Not long after, Qi Chensheng put down his hand again, and Wang Luan's eyes were bright again, but all he saw was his face.

Wang Luan was afraid of causing another cough, so he just took a shallow breath, but it seemed that he really followed the car and left Wang Quanfu and others on the way.Wang Luan raised his hand to caress the deep scar on Qi Chensheng's disabled eyes, and slowly brought his face closer, touching him intimately, letting each other's breaths intertwine, and letting each other's mood return to calm.

I don't know how long it took, but a faint smile appeared in Wang Luan's eyes again, and he whispered softly: "Okay, I won't look at them...just look at you."

The long sycamore road finally came to an end, and the sound of boats in Jinyuewan Port followed, but instead of heading there, they turned around and drove towards the church with the top of the cross exposed not far away. go.
