Do not hesitate

Chapter 12

"Me too."

At first, Si Luochen thought he had heard wrong.Xiang Qiantong actually responded to her, and said the words "me too".

For a moment, I was in a trance, as if I was dreaming.

Qiantong, do you know how long I have waited for these three words of yours?

Such a beautiful moment made Si Luochen pray for the first time: "Time, please don't leave, can you just stay here warmly like this."

Even if it's just for a while, that's fine.

After a long time, Xiang Qiantong finally moved her body, turned around slowly, put her hands on Si Luochen's waist, and looked at her in confusion.

The two looked at each other, seeing that Xiang Qiantong's cheeks were a little rosy, and Si Luochen, who was already a little hotheaded, was at a loss when she stared at him like this.

"Qiantong..."

"Shhh." The long and slender fingers were still covered with water stains and pressed against Si Luochen's lips.

Don't talk, Luo Chen begs you not to talk.

Anything you say will make me unable to extricate myself from walking over.

All the things that she once warned her seemed to be swallowed up by this hug, your voice, but she couldn't do that, she couldn't do anything to hurt Si Luochen.

The cold fingers on her lips were slowly warming up, and she frowned slightly, looking uneasy.

Always be too hasty.

Just as he was about to find something to talk about to ease the atmosphere, he heard: "Luo Chen, do you want to eat, huh?" There was a trace of forbearance in his voice, and he asked with his head slightly lowered.

He was taken aback for a moment, then nodded in response.

"Who said you were hungry just now, huh?" Xiang Qiantong's voice was soft, but with a hint of magic, Si Luochen followed her intentions and said, "Me."

Xiang Qiantong smiled at the corner of her mouth, lowered her voice, and turned to show her the dried black pepper sauce in the pot: "Then hurry up and clear the table, or the sauce will be completely dry and you will have to make it again , the steak won’t taste good.”

Seeing her smile, the whole person breathed a sigh of relief.

Si Luochen took a step back, and said with an innocent face: "It's not entirely my fault, at least one-third of this place is Qiantong's responsibility." Even so, he immediately ran to clear the table.

The atmosphere returned to its normal state, and the steak, which had been neglected for a long time, finally became the protagonist and was served on the dinner table.

The process of eating was very quiet, and the two had their own thoughts.

"Qiantong, I plan to go to that rehabilitation center tomorrow."

"Isn't it next week? Tomorrow I have a patient coming, maybe we can't go together." A piece of tender beef was put in his mouth.

"It's okay, I'll just go and see for myself. You said that woman is not simple, I want to make a surprise attack." Elegantly cut the steak with the knife in her hand.

Knowing Si Luochen's intentions, she never liked being led by the nose.

"...Then you pay attention to safety and call me if you have any questions, okay?"

Si Luochen nodded.

After talking about the topic, the dinner table fell into silence again. It may be that they have walked too much today, and both of them are very tired.After cleaning up, Si Luochen went to bed early after taking a shower.

Xiang Qiantong nestled on the sofa and did not move for a long time. She was a little afraid to enter that room, afraid that her unbearable heart would eventually kill Si Luochen.

——You are not suitable for her, and she is not suitable for you, you are two completely different people.They are still women, and the relationship that is not blessed, does it make sense to go on like this?

Xiang Qiantong was silent.

——As long as you leave, the rest will be fine.You can also live a good life, don't forget, there are some things only I can do.

Frowning, the arms hugging the knees became more and more forceful, and the fingers clasped the shoulders tightly.

You are really useless - Xiang Qiantong!

The next morning, Xiang Qiantong packed up and left. The moment the door was closed, Si Luochen opened her eyes, and glanced at the tidy bed next to her. She knew that Xiang Qiantong hadn't come in all night.

What happened in the end?

Is it hated?

Looking back on the relationship during this period of time, it was obvious that everything went smoothly, why did Qiantong back down at the critical moment?

With a doubtful heart, I got up, washed, ate breakfast, changed into a smart suit and walked out of the house.

The final conclusion was that Si Luochen was too impatient, and Xiang Qiantong was a character who didn't trust feelings, let alone such feelings, she should give Xiang Qiantong more space.

After getting into the taxi and handing the address to the driver, the taxi drove in the other direction of New York.

The car stopped at the gate of the rehabilitation center and took the change from the driver.After getting out of the car with his bag and staring at the white building in front of him, Si Luochen's expression was very calm.

Before coming here, Si Luochen had a brief understanding of the place, and also learned from the taxi driver that most of the shelters here are disabled American soldiers, and some of them are disabled people caused by disasters. Their psychological conditions are definitely not good. will be fine.

At this moment, Si Luochen asked himself, is he really competent?

As a doctor, can she really empathize with what these people who survived the hail of bullets experienced?

Walking into the rehabilitation center with strides, looking at everything around him, a burly man with a military badge on his chest could only sit in a wheelchair, with his legs missing.

From his eyes, Si Luochen could see his desperation for life.

"Doctor Si, what a coincidence." A voice sounded from behind.

Turning around and looking at him, it was Shen Lue: "Hello, let me take a look at the situation and environment here." The voice was very calm, and so was the expression.

Shen Lue glanced around and realized that Xiang Qiantong was not there, no wonder it was a bit cold.

"I thought we would meet again next week, but I didn't expect Doctor Si to come the next day." With a smile on his lips, he walked up to Si Luochen, looked at the man, and explained, "His name is Jack, and he used to be an Air Force member. , was sent here to recover after breaking his legs in battle."

Since just now, Si Luochen's gaze has been on him.

"Does he have a family?" He asked lightly.

"Yes, but he also has a younger brother who is also a soldier and is currently an air force captain." Si Luochen understood what was behind.

"Then does he have a girlfriend?"

"We broke up three months ago." Shen slightly answered lightly.

"Was he sent here three months ago?" The tone was calm, as if he had already guessed the result.

Unexpectedly, Si Luochen could face the warmth and coldness of the world so calmly, and nodded: "Yes, there are many stories happening here every day, some touching and some realistic."

Si Luochen cast his eyes on Shen Lue, and asked expressionlessly: "Is there any story worthy of your emotion?"

Shen thought for a while before responding: "It's similar to the story of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg." Then he looked at Si Luochen and smiled slightly: "You are so young, you probably haven't seen this movie."

Si Luochen glanced at her, and said calmly, "You don't look very old."

"I'm just more nostalgic."

"Nostalgia is also one of the midlife crises, you have to be careful." Said expressionlessly.

Shen Lue narrowed his eyes and looked at Si Luochen, but did not continue the topic: "Would you like to come to my office?"

Si Luochen nodded, agreeing.

Shen Lue's office is clean and tidy, but there are not many personal belongings.Through these details, it can be seen that this person is careful and mysterious in doing things.

"What do you want to drink?" There is a small refrigerator in Shen Lue's office.

"Is there any milk?"

"It happens to be." He took it out and handed it to Si Luochen.

"Thank you." Si Luochen, who took the milk, lowered his eyebrows and asked lightly, "What kind of story is The Umbrella of Cherbourg?"
