Chapter 1259 The Ring Is No Longer Suitable
A normal person would feel pain if pricked by a thorn, let alone Gu Wanqiu who was allergic to roses. She had been very careful to avoid the thorns of the roses, but she was still pricked many times. Every time she reached out to the base of the rose to search for her watch and ring, her hands were either pricked or scratched, and she felt both painful and itchy.
She resisted the urge to scratch. Reaching out to scratch would not solve the itch. Not only would it waste time, it would make the itch worse and uncontrollable.
The roses were above her knees. Gu Wanqiu was wearing autumn pajamas with long sleeves. After being wet by the rain, the roses stuck to her body. She felt cold, itchy, and painful. Perhaps because of the allergy, her body had a stress response and she couldn't stop shaking. She sneezed and coughed, and tears flowed down the corners of her red eyes.
The more you worry about pollen allergies, the more severe the allergic reaction will be.
Gu Wanqiu could only ignore it and focus all his mental energy on finding the watch and ring.
The sharp thorns on the rose branches mercilessly penetrated the fabric and pierced into the flesh. In order to find it faster, Gu Wanqiu threw down her crutches and tried to land on her right leg. The severe pain made her frown and gasp. The initial discomfort made her fall directly into the rose.
Originally, he was only stabbed in the hands and feet, but after falling, red marks appeared on his face and neck.
She fell painfully in the rose field. Her first reaction was not the pain nor to stand up. She looked at the roses that she had crushed and thought to herself, what a pity.
If Li Jinxing came back and saw these roses broken by her, he would definitely be very angry. After all, he planted them for the person he loved.
Roses smell really good, and champagne roses are beautiful. I hope she isn't allergic to them.
Roses represent love, and she is naturally allergic to roses. Does that mean she is destined from the beginning to be unworthy of love?
There was no idea how many wounds there were on her body. Gu Wanqiu only felt pain from head to toe, which was extremely uncomfortable. If someone stood by and watched all this, they would find that Gu Wanqiu was bleeding all over her body, especially her feet, which were covered with wounds in all directions, looking very hideous.
Even if she finds something that has been lost, it will be meaningless, so she can just give up.
But there was a voice in her heart, constantly urging her to search. That was the only thing she could hold on to at the end of her life. She wanted to find the two watches and rings that once belonged to her through her own efforts, as if as long as she found them, it would prove that Li Jinxing had loved her and they had really been together before.
Once you find it, the broken heart will be filled and you won’t feel so empty and uncomfortable.
Gu Wanqiu lay on the ground for a while, gathering all her strength and concentrating it on her hands. She stood up with a trembling body, holding the ground tightly with both hands. Her palms were pierced by thorns, and there was mud under her nails. A thorn had pierced into the gap between her nails, and her flesh and blood were blurred. She clenched her teeth tightly, whimpering in her throat, and finally she stood up.
She squatted down to look for it, but one foot was too weak to support it, so she simply knelt down and crawled forward. Although she was injured in many places, at least it was easier for her to persevere.
She just wanted to find the watch and ring, a little injury was nothing.
Gu Wanqiu looked up, facing the wind and rain, looking at the second-floor window, calculating the distance and approximate location of the throw.
She focused on this area, carefully peeled away the roses and searched carefully.
The soil became looser and more slippery after being wet by the rain, which made it more difficult for Gu Wanqiu to crawl forward on his knees. His body became cold and his skin became more sensitive. Being pricked by the thorns was uncomfortable enough, and he had to endure the symptoms of allergies. His nose was severely blocked and Gu Wanqiu could only breathe through his mouth. His chest seemed to be broken, and it hurt more with every breath.
Dragging an injured leg, Gu Wanqiu coughed and didn't even notice that blood was flowing out of her mouth. It was not until the pink champagne rose petals in front of her were stained red with blood that she realized that she was coughing up blood again.
She didn't have time to wipe the blood. Fortunately, there was no one in the villa and Li Jinxing was not there either, so no one would see her miserable appearance.
Gu Wanqiu tried her best to separate the roses, leaving a small path for her to move, not wanting to break the rose branches.
He stretched out his arms, following the roots, searching intently, touching every stone and every inch of mud, wanting to find those two things as quickly as possible.
Her eyesight was poor and tears were flowing in her eyes, making it difficult for her to see clearly. She could only feel her way, and the watch was found first.
Rings are more difficult to find. They are much smaller than watches, and the force with which they are thrown is different, so they may have changed their position.
I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Wanqiu felt like her whole body was frozen, and her hands had no strength left. Seeing that it was almost dark, Gu Wanqiu swayed and her vision went dark.
Just then, she heard someone calling her.
"Gu Wanqiu."
Who is it? Gu Wanqiu didn't turn her head, her hand still touching, she didn't know how many times she had been pricked by the thorns.
He Tian ran over with an umbrella and stood outside the flower garden: "What are you doing?"
Gu Wanqiu lowered her head: "I'm looking for...looking for the ring..." Her voice was hoarse and filled with tears.
No matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find them. It was as if the two rings had fallen into the sea. They were clearly in this very place, so why couldn't she find them after searching for so long?
The watches were found.
He Tian was sharp-eyed and noticed the watch on Gu Wanqiu's wrist. It belonged to Li Jinxing.
The ring that Gu Wanqiu mentioned might be the one that Li Jinxing wore around his neck before. The watch and ring originally belonged to Gu Wanqiu. Gu Wanqiu didn't want them at the beginning, and after she disappeared, Li Jinxing kept them on him. He has been wearing them for almost twelve years.
Now that he has lost it, it proves that he has completely given up on this relationship.
Seeing Gu Wanqiu's pale face, she felt very uncomfortable, but she was still looking. She didn't know how long she had been looking here. Her hair and clothes were completely wet.
The weather is quite cold during the change of seasons. Even he put on a thin coat today, let alone Gu Wanqiu.
For a long time, Gu Wanqiu was like a flower grown in a greenhouse, a flower that could not withstand wind and rain.
There is no need to talk about the poison in Gu Wanqiu's body. The key is that she is allergic to roses. Look, there is a rash on her neck.
He Tian held up his umbrella with a blank expression: "If it's lost, it's lost. What's the point of finding it? The person is gone, what's the point of having this cold ring? It's meaningless. Gu Wanqiu, don't look for it anymore. A dying person, why waste so much energy? And will finding it change anything?"
Gu Wanqiu didn't listen and kept groping.
Indeed, there is no point in keeping the ring without any emotion. Even if she finds it, it will not change anything. She will still die, and she and Li Jinxing will never be able to go back to the past.
But there are only a few things she can keep. Since there is a chance to find something and hold on to it, why not try her best to find it?
At the moment of death, at least you can feel at peace.
Seeing that she didn't listen to his words at all, He Tian sighed, put the umbrella aside, squatted down and searched carefully. When he was pricked by the thorn for the first time, he gasped. When he turned his head to look at Gu Wanqiu not far away, he saw scratches on her neck and face, not to mention her hands, which were already cracked and some nails were turned out, which looked painful.
He, a normal man, felt pain, so how much pain must Gu Wanqiu feel? She has been searching for so long. What kind of obsession supports him?
Originally, He Tian didn't care, but now, he had the idea of helping Gu Wanqiu find the ring.
As he searched, He Tian wondered what would happen if Li Jinxing found out about the whole thing one day. The thought of that day filled his heart with a throbbing pain mixed with panic.
He Tian touched and felt a hard, ring-shaped object. He took it out and saw that he had found the ring, but there was only one of them. It must have fallen off the chain, and the other one should also be in this place.
He Tian walked a little closer, squatted down, and found the ring hanging on a thorn.
"Gu Wanqiu, I found it."
Gu Wanqiu stopped moving. Because of the allergy, her eyes were half-closed. She looked at He Tian's hand, tried to open her eyes wide, and finally saw the ring clearly.
He Tian handed it to her, and she wiped her hands on her clothes before taking the two rings.
"Let me help you out first."
He Tian exerted some strength and simply picked up Gu Wanqiu and carried her directly back to the room.
No one knew where Gu Wanqiu's shoes had gone, and the injuries on her feet were not much better than those on her hands.
Originally, He Tian wanted to say something to Gu Wanqiu. Her right leg was broken in three places. After a month of recuperation, she was finally able to get up. But as a result, she just knelt on the ground and crawled in the rain after being able to walk with crutches. Does she still want to keep this leg? If it is not disabled, she will get rheumatism.
But then I thought, I only have a few days left, so what does a leg matter?
He Tian carried Gu Wanqiu back to the house, put her on the sofa, and took a bath towel from the bathroom and draped it over her.
"Why is there no one at home?" He Tian noticed something was wrong as soon as he arrived at the door, but at that time his attention was diverted by Gu Wanqiu.
"Li Jinxing has given everyone a long vacation." Gu Wanqiu's voice was weak, and if you didn't listen carefully, you couldn't make out what she was saying.
"A long vacation?" He Tian didn't understand what Li Jinxing was thinking.
"Don't you know your own body? It's raining outside, and you're injured... and you're allergic to roses. There's no one at home to help you look for it, so why didn't you wait for me to come back first and then look for it? You spent the whole afternoon looking for the ring, and I found it in less than ten minutes."
"I'm so useless."
He Tian tutted, "That's not what I meant."
"I know."
He Tian was still a little uncomfortable meeting Gu Wanqiu who was so willing to give in.
Gu Wanqiu held the two rings tightly. She had wiped them clean, but she could no longer wear the ring that belonged to her. During the years she disappeared, her fingers were often injured and showed signs of doing rough work, which caused the bones and joints to become thicker.
"I just wanted to try... to see if I could find it myself." At least she found the watch first, and she could still wear it.
It is better to rely on yourself than on others. If she does nothing and just waits for others to help her, what if others don’t help her?
Just like He Tian, what qualifications does she have to ask him to help her find it?
"Let me take you upstairs to change your clothes."
Gu Wanqiu said thank you.
He Tian picked her up easily. He didn't notice it before, but now he realized how light Gu Wanqiu was.
"What did the boss say to you before he left?"
"Let me move out tonight. He'll be back early tomorrow morning and won't want to see me again."
"I've found a place for you to live. Didn't you say before that you still wanted to go to Rongcheng? I found a place that's quite remote. The chances of you and the boss running into each other are almost zero. Everything is ready, you just need to move in."
"Thank you." Gu Wanqiu smiled reluctantly, "The flowers outside, and the surveillance camera..."
"I'll take care of it tonight, and the boss won't find out."
Only then did Gu Wanqiu feel relieved.
After sending Gu Wanqiu to her room, He Tian opened the wardrobe and asked, "What are you wearing?"
"Go out, I'll find it myself."
"Can you do it alone?"
"I still have the strength to put on my clothes."
He Tian went out and closed the door. While Gu Wanqiu was changing clothes, he replaced the video recorded by the surveillance camera outside. As for the crushed roses, he had to find someone to deal with them.
He went downstairs to take a look himself, and if he looked closely he could see blood in the soil. He reached out to pick up the fallen rose and tidied it up a bit.
As for Gu Wanqiu, she almost fainted after He Tian left. She lay on the bed and slowly calmed her rapid heartbeat and disordered breathing. After her head was no longer so dizzy, she slowly got up and pulled out a clean long skirt from the closet. Wearing a skirt is easier than putting on clothes and pants. She just had to put it on and put on a windbreaker on the outside.
After changing her clothes, she collapsed and couldn't get up. She looked at the rings and watches on her hands, and a beautiful smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
It’s great that she lost it and found it again.
She pressed the two objects against her chest, feeling her weak heartbeat.
Gu Wanqiu coughed a few more times, and this time she spat out a large mouthful of blood, which almost dyed half of her face red. The bed sheets were covered with blood, which was particularly eye-catching.
Coughing sounds were heard. He Tian, who had returned, stood outside the door and knocked on it. "Have you changed your clothes? Can I come in?"
He Tian felt uneasy as he heard coughs repeatedly. It had been such a long time, and Gu Wanqiu should have changed her clothes by now. He Tian pushed the door open and went in, only to see Gu Wanqiu lying on the bed with her hands covering her chest. Her face was covered in blood, and bloody foam was spraying out with her coughs, splashing on the light-colored sheets like embellished red plum blossoms.
He Tian went forward and helped her up, so that her coughing would be more relieved.
"Are you really okay?" He Tian was a little worried.
Gu Wanqiu shook her head: "Let it be..." How could she be okay in her current condition?
"Let's go, the people who are here to pick you up are here." He Tian glanced at the blood on the bed sheet, "I'll take care of this."
Everything that needed to be said had already been said in the past few days. Although there was still a lot she wanted to say, Gu Wanqiu didn't have the strength now. She looked sick and was held in He Tian's arms. After he carried her out and put her in the car, he took out a brand new mobile phone and a bank card from his pocket.
"Keep it. My contact information is in your phone. Contact me if you need anything."
Whenever there is a need, it is probably when Gu Wanqiu is about to die and needs someone to collect her body.
Gu Wanqiu did not refuse and accepted both the bank card and the mobile phone.
