stars run to him

【43】

In a small box in the hotel restaurant.

Lin Xiufeng and Cheng Shaohua sat anxiously, with a cup of tea and juice in front of them.

Li Yuan leaned against the window and lit a cigarette.

Cheng Shaohua drank the juice, stared at Li Yuan, pointed towards him, and said, "Uncle, you can't smoke, second-hand smoke is bad."

Lin Xiufeng was so frightened that she hurriedly pressed Cheng Shaohua's hand and apologized repeatedly.

Li Yuan didn't mind, he suddenly remembered Gu Zhongyi's cold face, and decisively put out the cigarette.Fortunately, Cheng Shaohua, a foolish boy, reminded him, otherwise if he made the private room smell of smoke and choked Lin Yuxing, Gu Zhongyi might be upset.

He patted Cheng Shaohua on the shoulder, and said in a good temper, "Boy, you are quite health conscious."

Cheng Shaohua shook his head happily, and he didn't look smart at first glance: "Well, my brother taught me! I'm a good boy, I can remember it."

"Your brother?" Li Yuan looked at Cheng Shaohua as if he was no younger than Lin Yuxing.

Lin Xiufeng grasped Cheng Shaohua's hand, and hurriedly explained: "Yu Xing is 3 years younger than him, but he is ignorant, so he likes to call Brother Yu Xing."

"That's it." Li Yuan said casually, "Then he is about the same age as my son. If he can go to school, he will have graduated from college by now."

Lin Xiufeng smiled wryly: "...Yes."

Li Yuan was not very interested in this woman's suffering, so he took a sip of tea calmly.

The compartment door was opened.

Lin Yuxing was dressed neatly, and walked in with Gu Zhongyi's support.

Li Yuan looked over and saw that the bruise on Lin Yuxing's face was getting darker, but his expression was natural, and he was no longer panicked like yesterday.

When Lin Xiufeng saw him, she hurriedly stood up: "Yu Xing!"

Cheng Shaohua also jumped up: "Brother!" He wanted to pounce on him, but Li Yuan grabbed him by the back collar.

In order to keep this fool from causing trouble, Li Yuan directly carried the person out of the box: "Come on, I'll buy you candy." Cheng Shaohua was greedy, and immediately followed out happily.

Lin Yuxing didn't say anything, and with Gu Zhongyi's help, he sat down on a chair.The waiter followed closely and brought two cups of hot tea.

In the box, there were only three people left.

Gu Zhongyi shook Lin Yuxing's hand, and his intimate attitude made Lin Xiufeng instantly understand the relationship between them.Adding that they stayed in the hotel together last night, Lin Xiufeng was even more sure.

She frowned, and looked Gu Zhongyi up and down carefully.In a hurry that day, she couldn't see what Gu Zhongyi looked like.

Right now, she is surprised.

When coming over on the way, Lin Xiufeng heard Li Yuan mention that Gu Zhongyi's identity is not simple, and she was mentally prepared that Lin Yuxing might "fly to the branches" in the future.

But she never thought that Gu Zhongyi's appearance is so outstanding.She was very confused, how could such an amazing Alpha have anything to do with Lin Yuxing?Didn't Gu Zhongyi know about the burns on Lin Yuxing's back and glands?

But with Li Yuan's words in front, Lin Xiufeng was convinced that Gu Zhongyi was not a liar.

Gu Zhongyi noticed Lin Xiufeng's gaze, turned around and said, "Hi, I'm Yu Xing's boyfriend, and my name is Gu Zhongyi."

"Hey, hello, hello." Lin Xiufeng used honorific words, not daring to be disrespectful to the junior in front of her, she squeezed her hands awkwardly, "I, I have heard what Mr. Li said, my Yu Xing is lucky to have your help , nothing serious happened."

She got up, bowed to Gu Zhongyi to thank him, her attitude was humble again and again.

Gu Zhongyi said politely: "This is what I should do. Your foot is injured, please sit down first."

She nodded, twitched the corners of her mouth, and smiled stiffly: "Yu Xing is boring, don't tell me anything, I didn't even know he was in a relationship at school, or with someone as good as you."

While speaking, her eyes fell on Lin Yuxing.

Lin Yuxing stared at the teacup on the table in a daze, as if he was brewing something.

Seeing this, Lin Xiufeng had no choice but to speak first: "Yu Xing..."

Lin Yuxing looked at her, thought for a long time, and asked a question that was very concerned in his heart: "Did you know uncle's plan a long time ago?"

His straightforwardness made Lin Xiufeng's eyes dodge, her face was pale, and she wanted to deny it.

Lin Yuxing: "I've been to the police station, that's why I'm asking you this question."

Concealment is futile, Lin Yuxing will know all the truth sooner or later.

Lin Xiufeng didn't know if she acquiesced, or she was thinking of words.

But Lin Yuxing remembered something, his heart tightened, and he suddenly asked: "That's why you told me to try not to go home?" Facing Lin Xiufeng's silence, he was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and said, "You know ...You, you know that he is going to sell me?"

Only then did Lin Xiufeng wet her eyes, and nodded slowly: "...Yes."

For a while, in the not-so-large space, it was as quiet as late at night.

Lin Yuxing couldn't tell what expression was on Lin Yuxing's face.

disappointment?despair?Or is it true?

Lin Xiufeng choked up: "Yu Xing, I know you will blame me in your heart, but I was tied up with a rope by him that day, and I couldn't break free. I know these words, and it sounds no different from sophistry! Earlier you said that Mr. Ah Shan looked at me Looking at you, I should remind you..."

Lin Yuxing's heart turned cold, he really couldn't understand Lin Xiufeng's deliberate concealment.

"You actually hid such an important matter from me, do you know," he paused, and said with difficulty, "...I almost failed to escape yesterday."

If Lin Xiufeng had told him from the beginning, Lin Yuxing would not be so passive.

He didn't dare to think about what he would be like now without Gu Zhongyi's sudden arrival this time. He was injured and had no money, and his ID card was taken away.

In a few days, he might be taken back by Cheng Rong and Ah Shan, and then locked up and violently bitten off the mark, rotting in the mud for the rest of his life.

His life was over. Under Ah Shan's supervision, he might not be able to get out of this swamp in his life.

These assumptions are terrible, just thinking about it makes Lin Yuxing shudder.

He gritted his teeth, murmured, puzzled: "I really don't understand why you want to hide it from me?"

Lin Xiufeng covered her face and sobbed, but said nothing.

Suddenly, Lin Yuxing looked at Lin Xiufeng's injured leg, and a bad guess appeared in his heart.He suddenly asked: "Could it be... Are you afraid that if you tell me, I will flee back to City C immediately? Are you afraid that your foot will be injured and no one will take care of your cousin's daily necessities?"

just for this?

For such a simple reason, to hide such a horrible thing?

Lin Yuxing wished that he was just thinking too much, he wished that Lin Xiufeng would decisively deny his words.Feeling himself trembling, he squeezed his thigh.

However, the frightening thing is that Lin Xiufeng admitted it.

She knew she couldn't hide it, so she tried her best to clean herself up: "I stopped Cheng Rong! He also promised me that he would never mention this matter with Ah Shan again! I really thought he gave up... I don't know Why is he doing this again all of a sudden! I, I really—"

"You actually believed his words—" Lin Yuxing roared, interrupting her, "...you are so selfish!"

This was the first time that Lin Yuxing treated Lin Xiufeng with this attitude.

Lin Xiufeng was so dumbfounded by the yelling that she couldn't make a sound for a while.

Lin Yuxing's eyes were red, and she held her breath.

It wasn't until Gu Zhongyi put his hand on Lin Yuxing's shoulder soothingly that Lin Yuxing relaxed, closed his eyes in disappointment, and continued to breathe the turbid air of D City.

Awful.

Lin Yuxing and Lin Xiufeng have lived together for so many years, and they probably already guessed the purpose of Lin Xiufeng's coming to find him this time.

She must be for Cheng Shaohua.

People say that "Parents love their sons, and they have far-reaching plans." Lin Yuxing has no parents who can't "have far-reaching plans" for him, but some people regard him as a brick under their children's feet.

In fact, Lin Yuxing knew that Lin Xiufeng took him back from the orphanage back then so that he could help her take care of Cheng Shaohua who was mentally handicapped when he grew up.

After all, Cheng Rong is unreliable, and Lin Xiufeng will grow old.

Lin Yuxing has received their upbringing grace, so he has to take on this heavy responsibility, and he has always been taught this way.

But he didn't understand why, Cheng Rong believed that he would be a white-eyed wolf, and made things difficult for him; Lin Xiufeng was always worried that he would abandon Cheng Shaohua, so she kept pulling him.

He is like a fool, he is reluctant to eat and wear, and every penny he saves is filled into this bottomless pit.He thought about getting rid of Cheng Rong, but he never planned to get rid of Lin Xiufeng and Cheng Shaohua for a moment.

In fact, Lin Yuxing never felt sorry for himself, he was luckier than most disabled children in the orphanage.

He had a "family", went to college smoothly, and grew up well.

Although the journey was hard, even the family members who were connected with him by blood left him, so why should he be harsh on those who raised him.

He always thinks this way, convincing himself like this.

Because only in this way, the suffering he experienced will not become unbearable.

Right now, Lin Yuxing turned sideways helplessly, not knowing where to put his hands.

Gu Zhongyi held his hand and stabilized Lin Yuxing's heart.

Gu Zhongyi said in a deep voice, "We won't talk when we're tired."

Lin Yuxing opened his eyes, and what fell into his eyes was Gu Zhongyi's unchanging care for him.His loneliness gradually turned into endless grievances, and his cold hand warmed up as soon as Gu Zhongyi held it.

He was really tired, he nodded weakly, and followed Gu Zhongyi to get up slowly.

Lin Yuxing doesn't want to stay here anymore, no matter what decision he will make in the future.At this moment, he just wanted to go back to City C quickly and leave this so-called "home" quickly.

He needs time to calm down, and so does Lin Xiufeng.

But when Lin Xiufeng saw the indifference in his eyes, she suddenly lost control of her emotions, and said sadly: "This is my fault, I did something wrong! If I knew that Cheng Rong would still do this, even if I was killed, I would I won't let you stay at home! Yu Xing - don't go, you can't go!"

Listening to her roar, Lin Yuxing remained silent.

Lin Xiufeng dragged her injured leg, knelt down on the ground suddenly, and kowtowed to Lin Yuxing.

Like a farce, Lin Yuxing's face turned pale with fright, and his scalp went numb.

Gu Zhongyi stepped over in two steps and grabbed Lin Xiufeng's skinny arm with one hand, trying to help her up.

Lin Xiufeng lay dead on the ground: "Just forgive Auntie! Just forgive me—"

Now that the matter has come to this point, it is useless for her to say anything, she can only beg Lin Yuxing bitterly.

"You, you really want to follow him? Yu Xing, you will come back, right? Mr. Li told me that Cheng Rong has done a lot of bad things before, and he will definitely go to jail this time!"

She wanted to go forward and grab Lin Yuxing's trousers, but was stopped by Gu Zhongyi.

She lost her voice: "Didn't you ask me to divorce? I'll leave! I'll take Shaohua to rent a house, and I don't want you to pay for it! Don't leave us behind, if you can't climb this Alpha, then don't want us, Yu Xing! I am For you, I have always been for you!"

Lin Yuxing looked at the hysterical woman in front of her, she was both unfamiliar and extremely familiar.

His aunt is a poor person struggling at the bottom, and she regards him as the only straw.Maybe it was because she shed too many tears yesterday, but today's Lin Yuxing couldn't shed a single tear.

He turned his head away, and his heart felt like it had been pricked several times by a fine needle, and it was painful.

Lin Xiufeng panicked. She couldn't drag Lin Yuxing back, so she turned her head and grabbed Gu Zhongyi, and said angrily, "You can't take him away, I know what he's thinking! He won't come back after he left this time." It's... I have the kindness to raise him, why do you take him away? What did you brainwash him?!"

Gu Zhongyi frowned, the words "the grace of nurturing" were particularly harsh to his ears.

He could see how hard Lin Yuxing had been.

In the end, it was Lin Yuxing who stopped Lin Xiufeng.

"Let go!" Lin Yuxing didn't want Lin Xiufeng to hold on to Gu Zhongyi, "I want to go, it's my own decision."

Lin Xiufeng stared at Lin Yuxing with tears in her eyes: "Yu Xing, you can't go..." She shook her head and repeated, "I raised you...I raised you..."

Lin Yuxing didn't want to see her pitiful appearance.

He said: "In the second year of junior high school, my uncle broke his leg at the construction site, and life at home was difficult. He wanted me to drop out of school and work, but you insisted on not agreeing, so I had the opportunity to be admitted to C University. You raised me, you are kind to me, even if everything you do is for my cousin, I am also grateful to you."

Lin Yuxing remembered all these.

Life is good and bad, and so are people.No one is completely good and no one is completely bad, but no one is a saint.

He remembered Lin Xiufeng's kindness, but it didn't mean that these kindnesses could cover up the hurt he had suffered.

"Auntie, I promise you." Lin Yuxing took a deep breath, "From now on, I will send you a sum of money every month that is within my ability. I was too hard on myself before, and you should stop It's hard for me."

Lin Yuxing didn't want to use Gu Zhongyi's money to support his family anymore.

After Cheng Rong was imprisoned, Lin Yuxing no longer had to worry about someone coming to C to make trouble.And Lin Xiufeng has a job, so she can live in a small town enough.

Lin Xiufeng's tears wet the floor, and she couldn't make a sound.

Lin Yuxing listened to her crying, like a needle piercing his heart, he raised his eyes a little flinching.Inadvertently, he met Gu Zhongyi's gentle and firm eyes.

In an instant, his heart was soothed and he also gained courage.

Lin Yuxing continued to say to Lin Xiufeng: "If you and your cousin are in trouble, I will try my best to help. But you should never come to City C to look for me, otherwise I will disappear completely and you will never be able to contact me again."

He said cruelly, "I won't come back either."

Lin Yuxing didn't like D City, and the memories of growing up were painful like cracking bones.

"Auntie, it doesn't matter whether you believe me or not. I used to never think of getting rid of you once."

The last sentence made Lin Xiufeng extremely regretful.

In an instant, she understood that all her mistakes stemmed from her own worries.

She listened to Cheng Rong's words and thought that Lin Yuxing was an outsider in the family.Therefore, while she placed high hopes on Lin Yuxing, she also longed for a pair of shackles to trap Lin Yuxing and lock him by her side.

She is the most conflicted person.

But this incident hurt Lin Yuxing too much, directly destroying his trust in Lin Xiufeng.Everything has come to an irreversible situation, no matter how persistent Lin Xiufeng is, it won't help.

She finally let go of Gu Zhongyi's hand, and slumped on the ground dumbfounded.

Gu Zhongyi gave up the idea of ​​helping her up, and went straight to Lin Yuxing's side: "I'll hug you."

Lin Yuxing did not refuse, he silently put his arms around Gu Zhongyi's neck.

When opening the door, Lin Yuxing grabbed Gu Zhongyi's clothes.Gu Zhongyi stopped, only to hear Lin Yuxing's voice, and kindly advised Lin Xiufeng: "Take this opportunity to divorce him."

The door was closed.

In the huge box, Lin Xiufeng was the only one left, extremely embarrassed.
