Gu Cunxi's straightforward life path began to deviate completely from the broad public's prescribed smooth road the day she encountered Xiao Peiyin.
Not only did it deviate, but it wa...
Chapter 138
Xiao Peiyin didn't know how she got there. As soon as she parked her car in front of the Land and Resources Bureau, she saw a crowd of people gathered on the opposite side, and several police cars parked on the side of the road. She covered her chest and dragged her feet to get closer, pushing through the crowd. The scene before her made her heart feel empty, leaving a bloody hole, like the red spot on Gu Cunxi's abdomen.
"Behave yourself!" Chen Feng was held down by the police and handcuffed in front of the car. The moment he saw Xiao Peiyin, the smile on his face became more obvious. He raised his hand and pointed and said, "He's not dead yet."
"But it will be soon!" he added.
"Shut up!" the police officer yelled, then turned to the auxiliary officer next to him and said, "Call the emergency center again!"
Xiao Peiyin suppressed the urge to tear Chen Feng apart, took off her coat, walked forward, and hugged him in her arms, tightly holding Gu Cunxi's wound that was bleeding. "Don't be afraid, Gu Cunxi! Don't be afraid, it's all my fault, it's all because I... am late!"
Her voice trembled, and she held Gu Cunxi's hand tightly. It was no longer as hot as before, but very cold. The person in her arms had his eyes closed, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his fair face gradually turned pale.
After a while, the sound of an ambulance came from a distance, and it stopped by the roadside. A doctor rushed down from the ambulance.
"Are you a family member?" The doctor turned around and asked while checking the wound. Xiao Peiyin stared at the blood on his hand, speechless. Tears blurred his vision, and a sea of red and white
"Are you a family member?" the doctor asked again.
"I, I am!" Xiao Peiyin nodded blankly.
"Come with us to the hospital!"
Just as she was about to get in the car, the moment Gu Cunxi was picked up, the knife that fell beside her came into her sight. It was covered with blood. Xiao Peiyin couldn't control herself, picked it up with trembling hands, and turned to approach Chen Feng.
A sharp-eyed policeman saw the knife in her hand and rushed forward to stop her: "Please calm down, we will handle it!"
Xiao Peiyin couldn't hear her, so she pushed the policeman aside and tried to rush over. The auxiliary police officer turned around, stopped her with one hand, grabbed her shoulder, and gave her a final warning: "Please calm down!"
Chen Feng leaned against the front of the car and laughed, almost madly: "I will live longer than her!"
The auxiliary police officer kicked him and said, "Shut up and get in the car!"
"The family members need to go to the hospital. We can't delay any longer!" The doctor's words made Xiao Peiyin regain some sanity. She turned her head abruptly, threw away the knife, and staggered over.
…
Cheng Sheng arrived at Jiang Rao's office at the appointed time. It was a sunny day, but it suddenly started to rain heavily. She didn't bring an umbrella or drive a car. She was stopped by the heavy rain as soon as she got out of the subway. She originally wanted to wait for the rain to lighten up before leaving, but it got heavier and heavier. Seeing that she was only two blocks away from her destination, Cheng Sheng made up her mind and rushed out.
The heavy rain soaked her completely, but the coffee was still warm under her clothes.
Cheng Sheng walked into the office and dusted himself off. The receptionist came up to him and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Lawyer Jiang, Jiang Rao," Cheng Sheng nodded in response.
Jiang Rao was resting with her eyes closed in the office when she heard a knock on the door. She rubbed her forehead and said, "Come in."
"Lawyer Jiang, someone's looking for you."
Cheng Sheng walked in and was about to speak when she saw Jiang Rao lowering his head and waving his hand without looking at her. The door behind him closed gently with a click.
"Um..." Cheng Sheng said softly, paused and said, "Your coffee"
Jiang Rao looked up, then remembered the coffee. The girl was soaking wet. Standing in front of her, her pure white T-shirt had become somewhat transparent from the water, sticking to her body and outlining the girl's body. Jiang Rao looked away, frowned, and asked, "How did you get here?"
"subway"
Jiang Rao looked outside. It was raining heavily. He didn't know whether to say the girl was trustworthy or stupid...
She just mentioned it casually, but she actually sent it in the rain.
"The coffee is still warm, drink it while it's hot. I'm leaving now." Cheng Sheng gently placed the coffee on the table, turned around, and was about to leave when he heard someone behind him say, "Are you going to take the subway in the rain again?"
"I'll take a taxi," Cheng Sheng replied. Jiang Rao smiled and said, "It's raining so hard, do you think I can get a taxi here?"
"Let me take you there."
Jiang Rao stood up, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, put it on his wrist, and walked over. Seeing her approach, Cheng Sheng suddenly became nervous and said with his head down: "No, no need."
The girl stammered, looking nervous. Jiang Rao found it very amusing. He pursed his lips and teased her, "Are you this nervous around everyone?"
“…”
Seeing that the girl was silent, Jiang Rao picked up the umbrella at the door and opened it. Suddenly, he thought of the girl's wet clothes. There were men outside. It was not appropriate to go out like this. He turned around and handed the clothes to her: "Put them on."
Cheng Sheng was afraid that Jiang Rao's coat would get wet and look expensive, so he quickly waved his hand: "No need, it's already wet."
Jiang Rao was speechless and curled his lips: "It's because it's wet that I have to wear it..."
After saying this, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the girl's chest
Black
Do not look at what is indecent
Cheng Sheng seemed to realize what was happening. She looked down at herself and suddenly covered her chest with her hands. Her face flushed visibly. Jiang Rao laughed at her action and stretched out his clothes to drape them over the girl's shoulders.
The moment he got closer, Jiang Rao noticed that the girl's face was even redder. He didn't dare to look up at her. Suddenly, he thought of Jiang Shu's words: "That girl probably likes you..."
Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something. He opened his lips, but held it back, stepped back and said, "Let's go."
The girl is too young, she likes mature
Jiang Rao walked and thought
It was a short walk outside to get to the garage. She held up her umbrella, opened it, and saw the girl standing there, hesitant to go forward. She urged her softly, "Come here."
Jiang Rao was standing in the rain holding an umbrella, his figure was slender, and his charming face was half-hidden under the black umbrella. Cheng Sheng swallowed, grabbed his hand, and walked forward. Jiang Rao handed the umbrella forward a little.
The two had nothing to say
Cheng Sheng deliberately kept some distance, leaving his shoulders exposed outside the umbrella, water dripping onto his shoulders. Jiang Rao glanced sideways, reached out and took the girl's arm, pulling her closer: "The umbrella is small, move closer."
After getting the car, Jiang Rao didn't know whether she was going back to the cafe or home. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Where are you going?"
There was no one in the coffee shop, and Sister Pei Yin was not there either. Cheng Sheng thought about it and decided to go back to the coffee shop and told Jiang Rao the address.
The car heater was on, and Jiang Rao would occasionally reach out and pick the air vent, directing the air towards Cheng Sheng, and asked, "Not cold, right?"
"Well, it's not cold..."
There was music in the car, and both of them were silent. Cheng Sheng wanted to say something, but she couldn't remain silent all the way. She was desperately trying to find a topic in her mind. Just as she was about to speak, her cell phone rang. It was Sister Pei Yin, so she picked it up immediately.
"Sister Pei Yin"
Jiang Rao paused
"Haven't you been here for a few days?"
Xiao Peiyin told her that she had recently handed over the coffee shop to her and that she would not be there during this period. The new product promotion was temporarily put on hold. Cheng Sheng heard her voice, which was hoarse and trembling. He felt something was wrong and asked, "Are you okay? Is everything okay?"
Jiang Rao watched her answer the phone and turned down the music in the car.
"What! Which hospital?"
Hearing the word "hospital", Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment. He turned around and saw the girl with an anxious look on her face, nodding continuously. After hanging up the phone, Jiang Rao couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"Can you take me to Xiangshan Hospital?" Cheng Sheng asked hoarsely. Jiang Rao nodded, turned the steering wheel at the intersection, and turned around.
"What happened?"
Cheng Sheng hesitated, thought for a long time, and finally said, "Yes... Sister Cunxi, she is injured!"
Jiang Rao's heart sank when he heard this. Without asking any more questions, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away at full speed.
