They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Luo Zhi didn't wait for the hand that fell on top of her head.

Too many things had happened, and those things had drained the last of his strength.

While the arms protecting her were hanging down, Luo Zhi's body also quietly sealed off all perception of the outside world.

Luo Zhi was completely unconscious and sat quietly, her head and neck slumped along the force of that point of rubbing.

The unconscious body was no longer under any force, and Luo Zhi was about to fall into the muddy water, but was stopped by that hand in time.

The man stretched out his hand to support Luo Zhi, stroked his shoulder lightly, and tried to call him.

Luo Zhi's body couldn't give any response.

……

"What's going on." The secretary tidied up the power cord, and asked Mr. Ren's assistant in a low voice, "What kind of outrageous things did this person do?"

The assistant couldn't figure it out at all, staring at the darkened video, shaking his head thoughtfully.

Ren Chenbai never talked about Luo Zhi's affairs with others, and they only heard from senior employees in the company that the two had a very good relationship when they were young.

It's obviously very good, Mr. Ren will sometimes bring Luo Zhi to the company, and when he is in a meeting or when he is too busy at work, he will let his son lead Luo Zhi upstairs and downstairs to play.

……

I heard that they were only teenagers at that time, Ren Chenbai led Luo Zhi wherever he went, and never allowed anyone to bully him.

I heard that two people are always inseparable, even if they are temporarily separated for some reason, they will get back together soon.

I heard that Ren Chenbai didn't even need to call Luo Zhi.He has always been able to guess exactly where Luo Zhi is, and what Luo Zhi is doing, and he can find it after a few searches.

The assistant didn't dare to say more, but just reached out to turn off the computer.

He operated the mouse to save the files one by one, subconsciously glanced at the video again, suddenly surprised: "Is it this person?"

The secretary leaned over to see, "Which one?"

On the screen of the video, the person probably realized that Luo Zhi's condition was wrong, picked up Luo Zhi who had passed out, and stood up with a frown.

As it was turned more, the facial features became more recognizable, and the assistant recognized the face.

"Mr. Ming's generation...you don't read the news? Didn't a cruise ship just have an accident? It's under their family's banner."

The assistant clenched his fists, his face turned pale, and cold sweat slowly oozes from his forehead: "Why is it a cruise ship again?"

The cruise ship wreck has been a hot topic these days, and relevant news is everywhere.

Modern cruise accidents are not as exaggerated as in the movies, because the follow-up rescue measures are quite professional. The tourists only injured more than 100 people and 32 were missing.

These 32 people were found one after another later, some were rescued by passing fishing boats and could not be contacted in time, and some were in a coma after falling into the water, and their identities could not be counted in time...In short, all 31 people were missing.

In the last one, some of the belongings were salvaged in the sea and have been sent back to the family members for processing.

……

Everyone knows what this means.

Mr. Ren asked him to check Luo Zhi's whereabouts. The assistant hadn't even left the company yet, but when he was taking the elevator downstairs, he opened Weibo and searched for luck.

According to experience, Luo Zhi's whereabouts are actually not difficult to find at all.In Li Weiming's square, there will be Luo Zhi's whereabouts every now and then, and then more people will block him. Luo Zhi will not be invisible, and someone will always be able to block him.

The assistant just entered the name again habitually, and clicked search.

The buffer dots turned to the head, but the relevant results that popped up were no longer the same as before, except for the endless abuse, slander and criticism, which is a curse that even they can't help but feel vicious after reading it.

...but also like an outrageous curse.

The assistant swallowed, picked up the phone and turned on the screen, and read the news again.

In fact, he was thinking of someone with the same name—of course, the chance of such a name being repeated is ridiculously small.But what if?There are so many people in the world, maybe there are one or two who don't look at the meaning and look up the dictionary and name it randomly...

Otherwise, why did Mr. Ren go so far as to ask him to investigate Mr. Luo's whereabouts?

Otherwise, why is Luo Zhi still on the list with only one person left until now?

……

Ren Chenbai returned to the private hospital where Luo Zhi once lived.

He didn't have anyone to accompany him, he just asked for a clean and empty lounge and waited for Luo Zhi there.

He considered all possible places for Luo Zhi to go.

Luo Zhi's car was destroyed by him. If he wanted to leave the city or even the province, he had to take public transportation.Although it may inevitably take more effort, it is not difficult to find out.

Not to mention, it is unlikely that Luo Zhi would just leave like this.

It wasn't because Luo Zhi didn't want to leave—Luo Zhi probably wanted to leave a long time ago.

The reason why she didn't leave before was because Luo Zhi was worried about Luo Cheng, and now because her mother's tomb is in the city's cemetery.

Luo Zhi often went to that cemetery to talk with his mother, and sometimes he would stay for a whole day, and would report everyone's current situation to his mother, and even chat with his mother about him.

In the early years, Ren Chenbai hated Luo Zhi even more than he does now. He was disgusted by this kind of hypocrisy and apology. He once asked someone to forge his mother's will, saying that he would never see Luo Zhi again.

When she received the will, Luo Zhi was leaning against the tombstone with her knees curled up, bowing her head and lightly playing the guitar piece she had just written.

Luo Zhi didn't believe in the so-called will at all.

The person sent by Ren Chenbai said that Young Master Luo took the will and pressed their heads to correct the wrong words and punctuation marks.

Luo Zhi lowered her eyes, her voice was cold and arrogant, she singled out Aunt Ren's absolutely impossible mistakes word by word, and picked out all the evidence that this letter could not have been written by Aunt Ren.

Luo Zhi completely tore up the will, and the white pieces of paper were neither thrown on the ground nor thrown into the fire.Throwing it on the ground dirty Aunt Ren's tomb, and throwing it into the fire upset Aunt Ren.He walked all the way to the outside of the cemetery with his guitar on his back, and after walking for a whole day, he finally stopped at a trash can that was barely far from the cemetery on the edge of the city, and threw all the torn papers into it.

At that time, Luo Zhi became stubborn, and he could still walk for a day without eating or drinking, and then sit by the seaside in the winter and play the guitar non-stop for a whole night.

... Since when did Luo Zhi's body have so many problems?

The more Ren Chenbai thought about it, the more disturbed he became, he pressed his forehead hard, stopped thinking about those irrelevant things, and forced his consciousness back to conjecture about Luo Zhi's whereabouts.

Luo Zhi wouldn't believe that forged will, which was not beyond his expectation.

Luo Zhi's temper is like this, no matter how many people he trusts, no matter how many people come to smear him, sway him, make up and lie to him, he will never believe him.

But did this incident really have no effect on Luo Zhi?

Ren Chenbai looked at his fingers, he moved them slowly, to catch the air that couldn't be held.

How could it have no effect?

The only ones who will know this and have the ability to forge a will are the Ren family members.

Luo Zhi is very smart, he will know what the meaning of this thing is.

On the second day after returning from the beach, Luo Zhi packed up her things and quietly moved out of Ren's house without telling anyone.

Ren Chenbai knew the new residence that Luo Zhi had found, and also knew that Luo Zhi slept in the same car before finding the new residence.

Later, when Luo Zhi was old enough, he got his driver's license, so he didn't need to find a replacement driver.The movement of that car is also becoming more and more free, and the range is getting wider and wider.

But no matter how free she is, Luo Zhi has never left this city.

The car carrying Luo Zhi was firmly tied to his mother's tomb by an invisible kite string.

Therefore, the private hospital he is currently in is also the one most likely to be close to Luo Zhi. He is waiting for Luo Zhi here, and there is a very high probability that he can get it.

He can definitely wait.He will wait until after Luo Zhi, and he will try to treat Luo Zhi not so badly.

Luo Zhi will recuperate at his place, and will not be tortured by the Luo family anymore, and he will no longer push Luo Zhi to that family.

Ren Chenbai couldn't sit still anymore, he was even a little surprised, why he was still sitting in the lounge safely.

So he went downstairs to the emergency room and watched the people coming and going in person.

It turns out that there are so many sudden and unreasonable disasters in this world.

The lights of the ambulance made people's hearts sink, and there were anxious family members everywhere. Some were suddenly ill, some were seriously injured in a car accident, and there were more chaotic situations that were difficult to judge. Only panic and chaotic cries could be heard.

He also saw a boy who drowned because he swam in the reservoir secretly, lying motionless on an emergency cart.

The emergency personnel knelt on the cart to perform CPR. The family members were in a hurry and were so scared that they didn't know what to do, so they could only run around in a daze.

When he was fast entering the elevator, the boy suddenly choked out a mouthful of water and then panted heavily, and his body reacted.

The middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes accompanying the car lost his strength in a blink of an eye, his legs went limp in an instant, he was staggered to stand up after being supported several times by others, and staggered into the elevator.

Ren Chenbai stood in the crowded hall with people coming and going.

……

Maybe he thought things too simply.

Even the calmest person may not be able to deal with these situations.

Seeing those closest to us in danger, with their lives hanging by a thread, is not a feeling that can be rehearsed and simulated in any situation.

The intense fear and despair that can't be grasped, the unsuspecting struggle in the face of death, should not be compared with any other situation at all.

Perhaps Luo Zhi was really just panicking at the time.

Although this kind of self-deception seems reasonable, it is actually very unsustainable - he knows Luo Zhi better than anyone else.

The more dangerous Luo Zhi was, the calmer he was. It was a blazing fire that became more conspicuous the darker the environment.

At that time, Luo Zhi would never panic, never be frightened into a panic.

……

But after all, he also found an excuse for Luo Zhi and himself.

He can use this excuse to cover everything in the past and never touch it again.

The crowd suddenly backed away to make way for the new family.

The family drove here by themselves. The husband rushed in sweating with his unconscious wife on his back, followed by other family members. Immediately, a ready emergency doctor rushed up to take over. Everything was too fast for people to react.

It was all too flustered and the two teenage boys were left in the lobby after a group of people poured into the elevator.

The security guard went over and wanted to take them to rest first, but the older one tightly guarded the younger one.

They will wait for their mother here, and they will not leave until they wait.

……

It's full of people who are constantly wandering around waiting for an outcome.

The doctor walked back and forth quickly, and the family members looked around worriedly.

The patients were either struggling in pain, or unconscious, and some had already fallen into a peaceful trance.

Everyone is waiting.

Waiting for that hope, but also fearing another conclusion.

The appearance of sentient beings repeated every day in the emergency department.

Ren Chenbai stepped back slowly, until his back touched the cold wall.

He suddenly realized that it was a mistake for him to come here.

He just wanted to wait for Luo Zhi sooner to confirm what Luo Zhi's situation was, but he was not ready to see this at all.

He suddenly had a severe headache, and the endless uneasiness and irritability about Luo Zhi ran rampant in his mind, and then everything suddenly went dark.

He saw Luo Zhi slowly walking towards him step by step, holding his hand.

Luo Zhi seemed to have become smaller, only a teenager.

The hand that was holding him tightly was very warm, and he couldn't help but want to take away the warmth. He was too cold, so he desperately slammed his cold fingers into it with convulsions.

Luo Zhi let out a muffled snort when he squeezed her, but she still didn't show it on her face.

Luo Zhi never seemed to learn how to show pain.

Luo Zhi was most afraid of pain.

What is he doing?

What is Luo Zhi doing again?

Why did Luo Zhi come to pull him, why did he take care of him, why didn't he leave him there...

"Brother Chenbai." Luo Zhi reached out and hugged him, "Don't do this."

Luo Zhi said, "Don't be sad."

Luo Zhi's own face was also pale, and he saw a shockingly deep bloodstain on Luo Zhi's arm, as if Luo Zhi himself had bitten it out, blood and flesh were indistinctly embedded on the pale skin of the forearm, and was still dripping down. bloodline.

But Luo Zhi's eyes were very calm, the kind of blood-oozing calm that became clearer the sadder, more fearful and desperate.

Luo Zhi's hands were shaking, and he could see that Luo Zhi's ears were ringing, because when Luo Zhi walked over, he didn't hear the voice of a person on the side, and was bumped into a few steps.

But Luo Zhi didn't say anything, so he didn't know what happened.

Why is Luo Zhi so sad?he does not know.

He didn't know why Luo Zhi was sad, and he didn't know why he couldn't stand up.

He didn't know why he was standing in the corner of the emergency room.He desperately wanted to find something in the crowd, what was he looking for?Why can't he find it, he has a terrible headache.

He had a terrible headache and knelt down unsteadily.

"Don't be sad, it's not your fault, Brother Chenbai, it's not you."

Luo Zhi supported him with half arms and half arms, but Luo Zhi was not strong enough, so she knelt on the ground while being dragged by him, blocking the sight of people coming and going.

Luo Zhi herself was also trembling, but she still tried her best to prop up her body to protect him, and patted him on the back: "Aunt Ren was already prepared, it wasn't you..."

... what isn't he?

Why didn't he have such a memory at all?

Why did Luo Zhi still come to take care of him?Did Luo Zhi not know what was going on with her body?

Almost as soon as this idea popped up, changes have already taken place.

The body that hugged him gradually became colder, and the corner that protected him that the teenage Luo Zhi tried his best to prop up, finally began to slowly collapse under the years of erosion.

Ren Chenbai trembled violently, and he yelled out: "Luo Zhi!"

Luo Zhi's body softened before his eyes.

Ren Chenbai finally couldn't control himself anymore, even though he knew it was a hallucination, he still hurriedly reached out to fish in fear.

He grabbed Luo Zhi's body, hugged Luo Zhi firmly in his arms, and wanted to help Luo Zhi up again.

Unable to support it, Luo Zhi's body became colder and colder, as cold as sharp ice shards were slicing his flesh.

Is it because he snatched all the enthusiasm from Luo Zhi just now?He can return it to Luo Zhi, he can return it all, Luo Zhi must wake up now, he will not be angry with Luo Zhi for anything again.

He will try his best to treat Luo Zhi well, he will not do those things again, isn't that what Luo Zhi wants from him?He can do it.

He just broke up with Jian Huaiyi and went to help Luo Jun deal with Jian Huaiyi. He would make Li Weiming completely cool, and he didn't use them to force Luo Zhi to come back.

He never mentioned the past again, he didn't mention anything, nothing happened.

He treats Luo Zhi well, he will go to bandage Luo Zhi's wound, he knows that Luo Zhi was very cold that night at the beach, and he will not let Luo Zhi be so cold in the future.

So Luo Zhi must wake up and look at him now.

Luo Zhi had to look at him.

Ren Chenbai grabbed Luo Zhi's shoulder, he could feel that his body was probably too stiff to move, but luckily, he grabbed Luo Zhi's shoulder in the hallucination.

He kept shaking Luo Zhi's shoulder vigorously, and told Luo Zhi things that he himself could not understand.

Luo Zhi finally opened his eyes again.

Ren Chenbai went to shake his hand in surprise, and wanted to hug him, but hugged a puddle of salty, cold, dark ice water.

Ren Chenbai looked up blankly.

Luo Zhi opened his eyes, those eyes were very dark and clean, a bit strangely clean, the pupils inside were quiet and did not reflect light, and they could no longer hold anything in them.

Luo Zhi was floating in the water, his body was ups and downs with the washing of the water.

His face was paler than the drowning boy Ren Chenbai saw just now, probably because it was colder, and there was even a little bit of white velvet hanging on his eyebrows.

He looked tired, yet genuinely relieved and at ease.

"No." Ren Chenbai whispered, "No, that's not the case."

A bloody smell began to flow from his throat, Ren Chenbai flexed his knuckles, pressing firmly against his temples, completely erasing this image from his hallucinations: "That's not the case."

"How could you—" the accusation was halfway through, but Ren Chenbai tried his best to swallow it back. It was the first time he apologized to Luo Zhi like this, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not your problem."

"It's me, how can I speculate on you like this, how can I curse you to death."

Ren Chenbai murmured in a low voice: "Don't do this, Luo Zhi, you can punish me, but you can't."

"I'm afraid of your death." Ren Chenbai admitted intermittently, stumbling, "I'm afraid of your death."

He had been afraid of Luo Zhi's death for a long time, not because of some ridiculous reason of "wanting Luo Zhi to be punished alive", it was just a logic he made up for himself, with that logic he would not have to face the torture and struggle of hatred.

He was afraid that Luo Zhi would die.

That day in the hospital, he threw away Luo Zhi but saw Luo Zhi lying on the ground, he was so frightened that he almost completely lost all reason.

"Don't do this, Luo Zhi." Ren Chenbai lowered his head and begged him, "I'll let you go, don't scare me."

……

The black boundless sea of ​​ice blew out with a clatter and disappeared without a trace.

Luo Zhi followed and fell to the ground.

The arm protecting his back finally fell.

There was a deafening sound when the thin wrist bones hit the cold and hard tiles.

Ren Chenbai briefly woke up from an inexplicable hallucination.

He was still standing in the corner of the emergency room, holding his mobile phone in his hand.

He was leaning against the wall, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and his body was still shaking uncontrollably.But he was completely relieved to be free from the illusion, and he almost felt lucky for the rest of his life after the catastrophe.

Ren Chenbai slowly moved his cold hands and pressed his chest that was still beating rapidly.

Not wanting to alarm the people in the hospital, he went to the vending machine and bought himself a bottle of water.

When he picked up his phone and wanted to scan the QR code to pay, he suddenly realized that the phone showed that he was in a call.

It was the assistant calling him.

Ren Chenbai frowned.

He has no memory of the call at all, and it's been almost five minutes since the call, and he doesn't even remember what they said.

...Could it be that he was infected by Luo Zhi and his brain became abnormal?

Ren Chenbai laughed at himself, calmed down, picked up the phone: "What were we talking about just now?"

"Mr. Ren?" The assistant seemed to be waiting for him for a long time, and the voice immediately rang out, "Are you okay? Does it matter..."

"What's the matter with me? I was distracted just now."

Ren Chenbai asked: "What do you want from me?"

The assistant seemed to be stunned by this question, hesitated for a moment, and then lowered his voice a little: "Mr. Ren, let me check... Mr. Luo's whereabouts."

The assistant whispered, "I was just reporting this to you."

Ren Chenbai's heartbeat that had just calmed down suddenly stopped because of the name.

He didn't speak immediately, took a few deep breaths, and told himself it was okay.

He has already figured it out, he has figured it out thoroughly—fortunately, he has already figured it out, and he will treat Luo Zhi well.

He will never mention the past to Luo Zhi again.

It seems that because he finally figured this out, his heart also eased a lot, and his whole body even gave birth to some long-lost relaxation and warm expectations.

Luo Zhi's body must be quite difficult to adjust this time.

But it doesn't matter, he will take care of Luo Zhi.

Just like when Luo Zhi first arrived at Ren's house, they were still the same as before, and they stopped fighting.

"So it's this." Ren Chenbai smiled, and his tone softened a lot, "Where did you talk? What did I just tell you?"

On the other end of the phone, the assistant suddenly stopped speaking.

Ren Chenbai waited for a few seconds, then slowly frowned: "Speak."

Ren Chenbai asked: "What did I just tell you?"

The assistant was trembling, and answered quickly in a vague and trembling manner.

Ren Chenbai stood in a daze.

He did say that.

He did say that.

The memories that were automatically blocked for a short time suddenly came back, and Ren Chenbai remembered the situation just now. He was standing in the corner of the hall and received the investigation results from his assistant.

It took him a lot of effort to understand the results of the survey. He felt that the assistant was probably crazy, and even used such nonsense to prevaricate him.

He heard the words ringing in his head just before the hallucination, and then a severe headache suddenly and without warning engulfed his consciousness.

……

"How could Luo Zhi die in a shipwreck?"

"Stop kidding," he said.
