Chapter 44 Chapter 44 "I can't bear to leave."...
When Liang Qi came out after getting the medicine, he saw Shen Xiyu leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, his head drooping.
Just now at the police station, the pain in her wrist came back and she broke out in a cold sweat. In the end, Zhang Weifang and Pei Wei were left there to follow up on the subsequent investigation, while Chen Ningning drove the three of them to the hospital first.
It was already dark outside. Liang Qi took out his cell phone from his pocket. It was already 9:30 in the evening. This day had been quite a tiring one.
Chen Ningning and Chen Ningzhou were waiting for them in the car.
Chen Ningning felt bad when she saw her brother's constipated expression, as if he was about to speak but couldn't. "Whatever you want to ask, ask it now."
"Nothing." Chen Ningzhou leaned back in his chair and stared at the hospital's bright red sign.
"Hey, you little brat."
Chen Ningzhou stopped teasing his sister and asked, "What's going on between you and Liang Qi's friend? The one you pulled the ear of."
"Ex-boyfriend."
"You've been in love before? Haven't you been single since birth?" Chen Ningzhou had never heard of such a thing before. He sat up straight in an instant and became interested.
"Are you looking for death?"
“…”

Liang Qi sat on the chair next to Shen Xiyu. The girl's wrist had been bandaged. The doctor said that it was fortunate that the bones were not injured, otherwise she would have to recover.
He felt mixed emotions, an unclear feeling permeating his heart.
Sometimes he would wonder why a brave, kind, and shining person like Shen Xiyu had to suffer such a fate.
So why exactly, why is this happening?
"Why didn't you wake me up?" The girl had woken up without knowing when, and was rubbing her eyes with her good hand.
Liang Qi suppressed his emotions and stood up. "No, I was just about to wake you up."
“…”
*
No one spoke in the car. Everyone was very tired today. Although the fight did give them some relief in the end, it was ultimately an unprovoked disaster. It had been a day of inexplicable trouble, involving so many people, and some were injured, so everyone was in a bad mood.
Liang Qi was messaging Pei Wei.
——L: Are you gone?
——dou: Just came out.
——L: How is it?
——dou: We were in the right originally. They had already betrayed Li Gu and had him detained.
——L: Where is Chen Xiyu’s brother?
——dou: That guy is still a college student, but he is not a pushover. He studied law, so he won't make mistakes in his actions or words. I will invite him to dinner later. As long as he cooperates, the rest can be left to me and the police.
——L: Thank you.
——dou: Why are you saying that? You’re too polite.
——dou: But there is something I really need your help with.
——L:?
Pei Wei stood at the door of the police station, smoking one cigarette after another and scratching his hair in annoyance.
——dou: Give me your friend’s sister’s WeChat.
——L:.
Shen Xiyu's phone rang.
She answered without checking the caller ID, "Hello?"
"You're there, I'll come over." It was Zhang Weifang.
Shen Xiyu was very tired, and his voice was very soft, "No, it's so late, you should go back first, we will contact each other later."
"How can I sleep well when something like this happens?"
"elder brother."
The other side suddenly became quiet.
Shen Xiyu continued, "I'm a little tired, you go back first."
"...Then send me a message when you get back."
"Um."
There was no conversation along the way. The car drove to the gate of the residential complex where Chen Xiyu lived, and Chen Ningning was looking for a place to park.
"I'll go keep you company tonight, Xi Yu." She poked her head out from the front row.
Shen Xiyu shook his head, "Sister Ning, go back to sleep. I've kept you company all day."
Chen Ningning wanted to say something, but Liang Qi spoke up, "Don't worry, I live across from Shen Xiyu and will take care of her."
Chen Ningning did not forget that this boy was Pei Wei's friend. She subconsciously prejudiced that this boy was not a good person, but seeing that Chen Ningzhou did not say anything, he must have a good relationship with them. Both Chen Ningzhou and Shen Xiyu trusted him.
*
After coming out of the police station, Shen Xiyu was unusually silent, completely losing the relaxed feeling he had when he and Liang Qi were still able to joke around in that situation in the afternoon.
"Let me cook some noodles." Liang Qi said, "Do you want to eat?"
He also didn't forget that Shen Xiyu hadn't eaten for half a day, and the girl didn't eat the bread that Dai Meng bought in the afternoon.
"Is your shoulder okay?" Shen Xiyu looked up at his left shoulder, "I'll order some takeout."
When Liang Qi was in the hospital just now, he didn't let Shen Xiyu go with him to apply medicine. Although Shen Xiyu didn't see what his shoulder looked like, he knew it must be more or less uncomfortable.
Liang Qi did not object.
"Come to my house for dinner?" the boy asked.
"Come here." Shen Xiyu just wanted to go back to his home at this moment.
*
Shen Xiyu ordered two servings of light duck blood vermicelli soup.
"Why don't you turn on the headlights?" Liang Qi asked.
There were only a few warm yellow floor lamps on in the living room, making everything dimly lit. It reminded him of the meal they had eaten in the shed at Yu Xie's homestay in Shangri-La.
"I don't want to open it." Shen Xiyu was wrapped in a loose and thick pajamas, and the hot steam from the vermicelli soup made her face flushed.
The two of them hadn't eaten together for a long time, and they didn't talk much during the meal.
Shen Xiyu felt a sore nose several times while eating, and tears unconsciously dripped into the food, but she still buried her head in her food, feeling fortunate that she had foresight. The dim light prevented Liang Qi from seeing her face clearly.
Liang Qi finished eating early and leaned on the sofa. He looked at the girl who didn't even raise her head and wanted to bury her face in the bowl. He felt distressed and wanted to laugh.
He patted Shen Xiyu's shoulder.
The girl paused for a moment, her voice a little unnatural, "What?"
Liang Qi sighed helplessly in his heart. He picked up the tissue on the table, turned Shen Xiyu's head around, and carefully wiped the tears from his cheeks.
However, the more she wiped her tears, the more she cried. Shen Xiyu's beautiful eyes drooped. She didn't look at Liang Qi, didn't speak, and didn't make a sound. But the more Liang Qi wiped her tears, the harder she cried silently.
The boy put down the paper and opened his arms. Like a programmed robot, Shen Xiyu was triggered by the key words and leaned forward, burying himself in Liang Qi's clothes.
Liang Qi closed his arms and gently held the girl in his arms.
Shen Xiyu closed his eyes and his aching body collapsed in the arms of the person in front of him.
On winter nights, the ceiling blocks out all the cold from the outside world, and the body temperature of others leaning against it is also mixed with thousands of emotions.
She couldn't tell what was wrong with her. She always thought that she wouldn't and shouldn't be sad about such things. Shen Xiyu didn't think she did anything wrong.
In fact, when Liang Qi was pulling her to run, she didn't feel any bad emotions. Just as she told Liang Qi, at that moment she selfishly wanted it to be the end of the world, so that she could "elope" with Liang Qi and not care about anything.
"Have you cried enough?" Liang Qi noticed that the girl in his arms was no longer trembling slightly.
"I didn't cry." Shen Xiyu's voice was muffled.
Liang Qi smiled, intending to help her relax. "I've been wiping you for a long time, but I was wiping your saliva?"
The girl stood up straight, her eyelids tinged with a barely noticeable red, "Get lost."
"It's snowing." Liang Qi looked past Chen Xiyu and saw the French window. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go out and play?"
"I'm injured." Shen Xiyu closed his eyes and leaned sideways on the carpet. "I can't do strenuous exercise."
"So do you want to go?"
"go."
*
The snow must have been falling for a while, and a thin layer has accumulated.
At Chen Xiyu's strong request, Liang Qi was dressed like a Transformer. If it weren't for his face and height, he would have become a ball. A blue heat pack was also stuck on his shoulder.
Shen Xiyu herself wore a royal blue coat and gray thigh-high felt socks, calling it the fashion sense of high school girls that could not be destroyed by anything.
"There's only this much snow left." Shen Xiyu stepped on it and it was almost gone. "This snow is not fun."
"Come over here." Liang Qi pulled Shen Xiyu's sleeve, "There's a lot of dirt on the grass here."
"You can't build a snowman with that." Shen Xiyu said reluctantly, but still followed the boy's direction and let him pull him along.
"Who said we were going to build a snowman?" Liang Qi grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at the girl behind him while Shen Xiyu wasn't paying attention. "Let's have a snowball fight."
Shen Xiyu was hit by a mouthful of snow, "Pah, pah, pah."
"You despicable villain." She grabbed the snow on the ground and chased Liang Qi to hit him.
Liang Qi dodged here and there, refusing to let Shen Xiyu get close at all. Xue couldn't get close to him at all.
Shen Xiyu's eyes rolled, and he grabbed the snow and made a fake move. Just as Liang Qi was about to dodge, the girl turned around and hit him.
But this time, the blow didn't hurt at all. Liang Qi patted the snow off his body and said, "You're almost dressed like an armored warrior. This blow is just like a tickle."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiyu grabbed a handful of snow and wanted to pour it into Liang Qi's neck. When he was almost close to him, he remembered the injury on Liang Qi's shoulder.
He hurriedly braked, but slipped on the snow under his feet and fell backwards.
Liang Qi hurried forward and pulled Shen Xiyu.
"Slow down." After Shen Xiyu stood firm, Liang Qi let go of his hand.
"Why do you slip when it snows?" The two people slowly walked into the pavilion.
Shen Xiyu used his gloves to catch the falling snow. The white snow and the white gloves blended together, making it impossible to tell how much he had caught.
"I don't slip when it snows." Shen Xiyu retorted.
"Didn't you fall down last time at school?"
"Last time..." Shen Xiyu stopped talking suddenly.
Liang Qi also remembered the embarrassing incident last time and coughed twice to cover it up.
"You'll catch me."
Shen Xiyu turned his head and looked at Liang Qi, "When I slip, you will catch me, right?"
“…”
"Well, I'll catch you."
Two people stood under the pavilion watching the snow. On the ground in front of them were two sets of footprints, one large and one small, intertwined.
"We were still in a cold war yesterday." Liang Qi said suddenly.
Shen Xiyu turned around in surprise, "I thought I was the one who was unilaterally in the cold war with you, and you were really going to ignore me."
Liang Qi shrugged helplessly, "I can't bear to."
