Chapter 63
Gu Cunxi drove all the way, following the direction Pei Yin left, but because there were too many forks in the road, she couldn't find the taxi that took Pei Yin away. Her cell phone was out of battery... and there was no spare charging cable in the car... Losing Pei Yin made her more helpless than ever!
I don’t know if Pei Yin will go back to where she lives, but she can’t think of anywhere else except there, or... she will go to Mingjiang Garden!
Gu Cunxi looked at the navigation system in the car. It was very close to Mingjiang Garden. After thinking about it, he decided to go there first.
The aftereffects of the red wine slowly took effect, his head felt a little dizzy, and his vision began to blur... Gu Cunxi blinked hard and concentrated his attention, secretly telling himself in his heart that he must be safe... Find Pei Pei, and nothing can happen to him!
The hands that tightly gripped the steering wheel became slippery due to the cold sweat. This was the first time in Gu Cunxi's life that she had driven under the influence of alcohol... Looking back on the past thirty years, she had never done such a crazy thing. On the edge of her own safety, she crossed her principles and bottom line for the first time... Gu Cunxi had thought about the consequences if something happened, but as soon as she thought about Pei Yin leaving alone, not answering her calls so late at night, and not knowing where she would go, what should she do if there was any danger and no one was by her side... As soon as she thought about these things, she lost her rationality. Finding Xiao Peiyin was the most important thing!
There were few cars at night, and the road was empty. Gu Cunxi maintained a speed of 60 mph. She didn't dare to be distracted for a moment, and tried hard to force herself not to think about Pei Yin's safety for the time being...
After parking the car in front of Mingjiang Garden, Gu Cunxi got out and breathed in the outside air to keep herself awake. She turned and ran to the door. Watching the elevator slowly descending, her heart was about to jump out of her chest... She hoped that she could see Pei Yin in the next second!
Gu Cunxi took out the key to the door with trembling hands and hurriedly opened the door, expecting to see Pei Yin, but the room was pitch black...silent.
"Pei Pei!" Gu Cunxi rushed to the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom, looking for her in a circle, calling her name anxiously, but except for his own voice, the silence here was terrifying.
She didn't come...
Go home and have a look, maybe... Pei Pei is waiting for him at home, Gu Cunxi turns around and runs downstairs again
Jiang Rao finished discussing the case with her client and drove back to Mingjiang Garden. She felt a bit down. Thinking of the man who had entrusted her to help him with his divorce lawsuit today, she felt sick. She had clearly been the one who cheated on him...secretly transferring his assets, and yet he still wanted her to defend him and demand that he leave the house. How cruel a man could be when he was heartless...
Jiang Rao sat in the car for a while, looking at the Mercedes-Benz parked in front of her. She couldn't tell the color. It wasn't black, nor was it green. She didn't know what kind of person the owner was who could choose a car with such a color. Jiang Rao couldn't help but feel curious, but the next second she got the answer.
Gu Cunxi ran all the way to the front of the car, and felt her stomach churning and vomiting. She couldn't help but walk to the tree beside her and retched.
“It’s her!!”
Jiang Rao could see clearly from inside the car, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth. It was really quite fate... They could even meet like this. Looking at Gu Cunxi standing in front of the tree with his hands on his waist, under the streetlight, his handsome profile looked a little painful because of vomiting...
Jiang Rao frowned, took an unopened bottle of water and a pack of tissues from the car, and got out of the car.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Rao walked over and asked softly
Gu Cunxi looked up when he heard the voice and felt that the woman in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her.
"Have some water," Jiang Rao handed the water over.
"No, thank you." Gu Cunxi shook his head and refused lightly.
"Do I look like a bad guy? The water is not poisoned!" Jiang Rao smiled, his beautiful eyebrows curved into a crescent moon, thin and long, with a kind of charming temptation.
"After vomiting, stomach acid will remain in the esophagus. Drinking some water will be better." Jiang Rao insisted on handing over the water.
"Thank you..." Gu Cunxi took the water, thanked him lightly, and turned to leave. When he got to the front of the car, he heard the woman behind him calling him again.
"Are you going to drive? Do you know that driving under the influence is illegal?" Jiang Rao changed his tone and asked sternly.
"Then are you going to call the police?" Gu Cunxi's tone also turned cold, without turning back.
Jiang Rao: “…”
"What if I say yes?" Jiang Rao said
"Whatever, I have more important things to do!"
“…”
"More important than life?" Jiang Rao asked in confusion.
Gu Cunxi didn't answer again. Her silence was her tacit agreement. She quickly started the car and left Mingjiang Garden...
Jiang Rao hesitated for a moment, then drove up to follow him as if his body was out of control.
At that moment, the good impression that Gu Cunxi had on her heart was reduced a little bit... What happened just now made Jiang Rao feel that Gu Cunxi was an impulsive person without principles, so he would do such a dangerous thing... Not only that... but also a person without a sense of responsibility, so irresponsible to others and himself! This beautiful woman... made Jiang Rao feel a little disappointed, but also more curious, wondering what is more important than her personal safety? Jiang Rao really wants to know.
Pei Yin returned home but Gu Cunxi still didn't show up. She was so anxious that she paced around the room, tears falling one by one. The longer she waited, the more scared she became. She was even afraid that her phone would suddenly ring with a strange caller... When she thought of Gu Cunxi driving drunk without regard for the danger, she became restless... She regretted it so much that she pinched herself hard, and the air around her seemed to be sucked out, making her suffocate.
After walking around the room again and again, Pei Yin could no longer stay there. He grabbed the key at the door and ran out. Because he was too anxious, he accidentally tripped over something.
"hiss…"
Her left foot twisted slightly, causing a momentary pain. Pei Yin ignored it and kept running towards the door. In fact, she didn't know where to go to find Gu Cunxi, but staying in the room and waiting for the time to pass felt like torture, like slow slicing...
Her clothes were damp with sweat, and a bit damp. The evening breeze brought a slight chill, and her hair on her forehead was wet. At this moment, Xiao Peiyin lacked her usual elegance and composure, and looked disheveled.
The car stopped at the door. Gu Cunxi got out of the car in a hurry and found a running black shadow in the distance. It gradually became clearer from far to near. When she saw the person running towards her, Gu Cunxi smiled with relief. She walked over quickly to greet the person running towards her and reached out to hug her tightly in her arms!
"Pei Pei..." Gu Cunxi said with a hint of tears in his voice: "I'm so scared that I can't find you... I'm so scared!"
Still in shock... Xiao Peiyin fell into a warm embrace. After a brief moment of unconsciousness, her heart gradually settled down, as if she had survived a disaster. She raised her hands and wrapped them around Gu Cunxi's waist, holding her tightly.
"Hiss..." There was a sharp pain in the waist, as if nails were digging into the flesh. Gu Cunxi gritted his teeth and groaned.
"Does it hurt?" Xiao Peiyin asked calmly, with a slightly cold tone.
"It hurts... I don't blame you!" Gu Cunxi smiled gently and patted her back with both hands, as if to comfort her.
Pei Yin suddenly pushed Gu Cunxi away, then walked forward and bit her shoulder, biting her hard...
Fear, anger, worry, regret, all the emotions rushed to her heart at once, tears welled up in her eyes, she leaned on Gu Cunxi's shoulder, sobbing loudly...
Hearing Xiao Peiyin crying, Gu Cunxi felt as if a piece of flesh was cut out of her heart, and she felt empty and painful. She kept patting Peiyin's body gently and said softly: "Pei Pei... It's my fault, can you forgive me? You can be angry with me and blame me, but never leave like this and let me find you! I will be scared!!" Gu Cunxi cried, her voice choked with sobs and hoarse.
After a long while, Pei Yin stopped crying, calmed down, and spoke slowly, her tone still as cold as before: "Do you know that drunk driving is dangerous?"
"I know..." Gu Cunxi nodded, biting his lip and said, "Pei Pei... I'm afraid of death, but compared to death, I'm more afraid of losing you while I'm alive!"
"Gu Cunxi!!"
"Don't be angry, okay? It's all my fault. I'll explain everything to Cheng Sheng tomorrow. I'm sorry, I was soft-hearted and made you sad!"
The original angry and furious mood has disappeared. To Pei Yin, her own emotions are far less important than Gu Cunxi's safety. The moment she saw her at the gate of the community, Pei Yin found that what she really wanted was just Gu Cunxi's safety. As long as she was safe, this was more important than anything else in her heart!
"I can stop being angry!" Pei Yin said calmly, pausing before adding, "As long as you promise me that you will never do such a dangerous thing again!"
Gu Cunxi stood there, nodded heavily, raised his hand and said as if swearing, "I swear this is the first and last time!"
"Kiss me..." Pei Yin smiled gently
"Huh?"
"Kiss me, I don't want you to kiss anyone else!" Pei Yin closed his eyes slightly, with a hint of toughness and jealousy in his tone.
Gu Cunxi was slightly startled, surprised by Pei Yin's transformation. Under the influence of alcohol, her originally red cheeks became even redder because of Pei Yin's words. She lowered her head and chuckled. She reached out and put her arm around Xiao Peiyin's waist, leaning in and kissing her. With the sweetness of regaining what she had lost, this kiss was longer and more passionate than any other time before...
Jiang Rao, sitting in a car not far away, witnessed everything. The conversation between the two became clear in the quiet of the night. Originally, he just wanted to follow Gu Cunxi's car and see her get home safely... But when he saw Gu Cunxi hugging the woman, Jiang Rao wanted to stay. For some reason, he just didn't want to leave. Perhaps it was curiosity, or maybe he wanted to see other people's love...
Jiang Rao felt like he was watching a movie about love, bittersweet at the same time...
So... the woman she said was more important than her life was this woman! How foolish... So foolish that Jiang Rao began to envy the woman Gu Cunxi had fallen in love with. She disregarded the danger and drove drunk just to find someone... To be able to value someone more than one's own life, one must wonder how deep the friendship must be...
It's such a pity. I finally met a woman I'm interested in, but now it seems that she has no chance... The ability to love someone like this probably only happens once in everyone's life! I missed it... Jiang Rao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"I am afraid of death, but compared to death, I am more afraid of losing you while I am alive!"
Jiang Rao remembered these words firmly in her heart... She watched the two of them kiss for a long time under the streetlight, her heart was mixed. After a long time, she looked away and drove away...
I hope she deserves you...a beautiful woman who can play the piano!
Jiang Rao looked at Gu Cunxi in the rearview mirror and said to her secretly in his heart
