Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Gunsmoke
Li Jinglang didn't sleep the whole night. He didn't know when he had degenerated into a bastard who destroyed other people's families again and again, even though he used to scoff at this.
This bastard world always makes people go against their wishes. Home-loving people leave home, freedom-loving people rush to join the system, love-sick people remain single, and even people like Ouyang Che, who has been in newspapers and on TV since childhood because of his inspirational stories, eventually becomes a rat crossing the street that everyone chases.
But the fact is, no matter how painful it was for him to sleep because of the moral condemnation, Tang Ningyue could always treat these things as flies and mosquitoes and kill them with a slap.
The reason why Tang Ningyue can be so open is mainly because most people don't have the time and energy to waste with her, nor can they defeat her. What's more, they are not kind people, so they dare not speak out if they feel guilty.
Apart from Li Jinglang, Tang Ningyue couldn't think of anyone else who would pursue her to the death. So when she saw the surveillance video of Li Jinglang rummaging through her house to take her pajamas, she knew that her good life was in jeopardy.
The little bastard picked and chose for a long time, and finally found the most fitting suspender pajamas and took them away, and also took away one of her silk scarves.
He didn't even shy away from putting the 'stolen goods' into a box in his bedroom.
Tang Ningyue looked at it for a long time, and finally hid the phone under the pillow before Zhou Yuhe entered the bedroom.
That night, she dreamed of Li Jinglang stealing clothes from her house. She was angry and annoyed, but had no place to vent her anger. It was the first time she had suffered such a loss.
Li Jinglang told Zhou Su that he was going to Nancy for an internship. At that time, Zhou Su was still negotiating business on the other side of the ocean. He thought there was nothing he could do except inform Tang Ningyue about this.
Holding Li Jinglang's flight information, Tang Ningyue asked someone to go to the airport and wait for him for half a day.
Li Jinglang rented an attic in the old town of Nancy. The place used to be quite lively, but it has become deserted in recent years due to the relocation of the middle school. There is nothing nearby except a small supermarket and a small clinic. There is only a long road under reconstruction, and the conditions are a bit difficult.
Zhou Su also knew about this. She found him a place with better conditions but he refused to go and insisted on going to the run-down downtown area. Tang Ningyue could not think of a second reason except to play the victim. However, Zhou Su did not contact her even after Li Jinglang came.
It seems like I really settled down there.
Zhou Su didn't care about him. No matter how he acted, Tang Ningyue couldn't feel at ease. She assigned someone to keep an eye on him, fearing that he would cause trouble again and disrupt her plans. The engagement was imminent, and Tang Ningyue couldn't help but worry.
Li Jinglang has been very well-behaved since he came to Nancy. He commutes for an hour to work in the city center in the morning, and eats a rice ball downstairs in the company. He does not eat lunch, and works overtime until nine o'clock in the evening to catch the last bus back. He then buys something to fill his stomach before the supermarket closes.
He seems to be living a casual life all day long. Tang Ningyue gets a headache every time she hears her assistant come to report. Li Jinglang's health has been poor to begin with. He has been hospitalized several times in a row during this period. He doesn't eat and is interning in a high-intensity and high-pressure factory. This is even more tiring for him than when he was at home.
Zhou Su kept telling her not to worry about it. No one could control Li Jinglang's stubborn temper, and she had no choice. But they all knew that Li Jinglang was not the kind of person who would give up after falling into trouble. What's more, he did not do so out of necessity, but he just wanted to do so.
Tang Ningyue couldn't come forward and could only turn a blind eye and let the matter go. She could only comfort herself by saying that since her own mother didn't care about her, there was no reason for her to care about him.
Li Jinglang's workplace was only a few kilometers away from Tang Ningyue's residence. Sometimes when she accompanied Tang Zhaoming to play basketball, she could see Li Jinglang coming out of the company with a tired look on his face. His long shadow fell on the ground under the light of the street lamp. Tang Ningyue always felt that he would fall down in the next second.
Or maybe she was just looking at people with tinted glasses. After all, Tang Zhaoming said that he saw that the steps were continuous and there was nothing unusual.
Maybe she really was overthinking it.
Zhou Su checked the information and found that Li Jinglang had successfully applied for three companies, but he chose the most tiring one. It was all his own fault. Tang Ningyue had no reason to feel sorry for him. Besides, everyone had their own hardships to endure, and there were many people who were more tired than him. Why should she care?
Seeing that Li Jinglang had been stable for a while, Tang Ningyue no longer asked anyone to follow him. In addition to company matters during the day, she was also busy with Duan Jiayu's affairs. The people around her were also in a hurry, and it seemed that everyone was living a hectic life.
It was not until Zhou Yuhe had to go back to Singapore for work that Tang Ningyue took half a day off to see him off. It seemed that she had not rested for a long time, but she did not feel tired. Perhaps it was because she had always been in an atmosphere where she was taken care of.
Tang Ningyue couldn't help but admit that Zhou Yuhe was a very competent husband. He took care of all the household chores, and she didn't have to worry about social activities outside the home. He even arranged for Tang Zhaoming's food, drink, and entertainment.
She also thought that if she continued to live like this, it wouldn't be a problem...
It was already dark when she sent Zhou Yuhe to the airport. The street scene outside was decorated with colorful lights into a gorgeous painting. Tang Ningyue kept staring at the pedestrians and street lights flying quickly outside the car window. Zhou Yuhe rubbed her palms back and forth, and they were warm.
"what's on your mind?"
I don’t know how long the car drove. Zhou Yuhe touched her hair and didn’t disturb her until he asked a question.
"I was thinking..." Tang Ningyue turned back and stared into his eyes, "It would be nice if it could go on like this."
At that moment, Tang Ningyue was speaking the truth. Even if she was like a frog in boiling water, she was a little boiled. She had to admit that her self-control was indeed not that strong. She thought she could escape without any temptation, but in fact, she had already been melted by him.
"Really?" Zhou Yuhe's eyes were shone with stars by the streetlights. The street scene outside flashed across his face quickly. The dim light made the interior of the car hazy. Zhou Yuhe's nose was sore. He didn't know whether it was because he was touched or because his heart was moved. "Are you willing?"
"I...."
The evening breeze was so gentle that it dispelled the heat of the day. Tang Ningyue was also a little intoxicated and didn't know what to say.
"Would you like it to continue like this?"
He asked again.
Tang Ningyue stared into his eyes and was kissed by him as expected, with their noses touching. She seemed really lost.
Tang Ningyue opened her mouth, and the words "I do" were about to come out of her mouth.
Before she could confess her feelings to him, the speeding car suddenly braked, waking everyone up.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yuhe subconsciously protected Tang Ningyue and held her in his arms.
"There seems to be an accident up ahead." The driver pointed to the crowd gathered ahead. "It looks like someone's in trouble. Is that person lying on the ground?"
"How about we take a detour?" the driver added, glancing in the rearview mirror. "The ambulance is coming up."
"Okay." Zhou Yuhe nodded and agreed.
"etc..."
Tang Ningyue, who had been staring out the window in silence, suddenly spoke.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Yuhe thought she was scared and patted her back again.
"I want to go down and take a look." Tang Ningyue frowned and stared at the crowd in front.
"Hey! Ning Yue!"
Zhou Yuhe failed to stop her. The street was already blocked by traffic due to an accident. Tang Ningyue ran a short distance before she reached the crowd.
Tang Ningyue wasn't being overly sympathetic, but this place was just one block away from Li Jinglang's company, and behind it was the subway station where he took his daily ride. She was already worried that Li Jinglang's health wouldn't hold up and he'd collapse one day...
Tang Ningyue's heart was beating like thunder. She squeezed into the crowd unconsciously, and was pulled back by Zhou Yuhe who came hurriedly.
"Ning Yue." Zhou Yuhe frowned, "What's wrong with you?"
"Don't pull me."
Tang Ningyue lost control of her expression in panic. She was anxious when she couldn't find him, and even more anxious when she found him.
"Ningyue." Zhou Yuhe held her hand. "Are you scared? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
"Get out of the way, Zhou Yuhe, don't pull me."
Tang Ningyue broke free from his hand and dived into the crowd again.
There was indeed someone lying in a pool of blood in the center of the crowd, and she did see a face similar to Li Jinglang's.
When Tang Ningyue vaguely saw the familiar face, she felt her heart was about to stop beating.
"The ambulance is here!"
"The ambulance is here!"
No one knew who started shouting first, but the crowd that was originally densely packed together dispersed, and the bloodstains surrounding the center finally became visible.
"Li Jinglang!"
When Tang Ningyue called out his name, her voice was out of control, broken and hoarse, and she didn't know if he heard it.
When Li Jinglang slowly stood up, the blood stains on his clothes were still bright red.
It was still that little face, so white that the blue veins were faintly visible. He was wearing a shirt and carrying a backpack. He seemed to be trying hard to step into the adult world, but unable to fully integrate into it.
“…”
The medical staff who got off the ambulance hurriedly lifted the person on the ground. Across the crowd of people, Li Jinglang just glanced at her without saying anything, and finally got into the ambulance.
Fortunately, he was not the one in trouble.
Tang Ningyue suddenly let out a long sigh and collapsed in Zhou Yuhe's arms.
"Ning Yue."
Zhou Yuhe, who was holding her, had an expression that became serious at some point. He held Tang Ningyue, who was still in shock, in his arms, patted her back, and gently stroked her hair like he was coaxing a child.
"I'm not afraid..."
"I'm here."
"I will always be with you."
Zhou Yuhe felt the blood rushing back for a moment, his face looked even worse than the person in his arms, but he was still comforting her softly.
"I'm going to the hospital."
“.....”
"Yue'er, our flight is going to be late. Didn't you agree to accompany me back?"
Even though he knew it was impossible, Zhou Yuhe still said this. In fact, he had no right to stop her, both emotionally and logically.
But she also said that he was her only husband.
“I’m not going to Singapore.”
"Ning Yue."
"Zhou Yuhe, I'm not going to Singapore anymore, do you hear me?"
