Chapter 82 Chapter 82 What is Salvation
Li Jinglang's impression of Tang Ningyue didn't seem to be like this. He didn't know when it started, but her eyes always became cold when she faced him.
Just like today, she saw his pale face, but still walked away over the debris without looking back.
"Jinglang..." Xu Qing also frowned and wanted to help him.
"fine.."
Li Jinglang shook his head. He could still smell the fragrance of Tang Ningyue, his favorite scent, but it made him feel dizzy.
"I'm going back now. Please get me some medicine."
"Let me take you there."
"No need, I've already called a taxi." Li Jinglang still shook his head. "It's late, you should go back too."
After saying that, Li Jinglang seemed to be fleeing in panic. He turned his back and left without even looking at her, as if his emotions were about to burst out like a flood in the next second.
But emotions cannot lie, and physical pain is difficult to conceal.
Especially when extreme emotions surge up, you may experience difficulty breathing and dizziness, and you cannot adjust these by yourself.
Li Jinglang had to hold on to the wall for a while after walking a distance. He didn't know if it was a sequelae or something else, but he just felt that he had no strength in his body and could only walk a short distance with great difficulty.
He had clearly gotten much better in the past few days.
He didn't know when it started raining outside, and when he walked to the hallway, it was so hazy outside that he couldn't see the light clearly.
The smell of dampness hit me in the face, and the rain blew up the dust on the ground. The whole long street seemed to be covered with a layer of plastic sheeting.
“This way!”
Someone called out in the quiet corridor. Li Jinglang raised his head slightly and looked towards the voice. A boy in a plaid shirt was standing outside with an umbrella and a smile on his face.
The corners of his clothes were wet by the rain but he didn't notice it. He only looked into the hallway with his bright eyes. He didn't look tired at all after working overtime, but only looked happy and satisfied.
“Here I come!”
The girl who was wearing a couple shirt with the boy ran out of the elevator, smiled and put her arm around the boy, rubbing his shoulder affectionately.
"What are we having for supper later?"
"Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to eat crab porridge? I bought some food and will make it for you when I get home."
"OK.."
The two people gradually disappeared in the rain, and Li Jinglang was left alone in the huge hallway.
The temperature in Beining dropped quickly, and every autumn rain brought a chill. Pedestrians on the street had already put on their coats, but Li Jinglang was still wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt.
The office building was finally about to close, and Li Jinglang finally came back to his senses from the trance of the night. He moved his feet that were stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and walked towards the door.
The rain outside was still pouring down and the last subway train had already left. Li Jinglang felt his pockets and didn't even have the strength to take out his phone to call a taxi. He just felt tired and his mind was not clear.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, he walked into the rain, unable to even see the direction, and just walked along a road in a daze.
As the cold raindrops fell on his body, he seemed to regain some consciousness, and surprisingly, he felt quite comfortable.
But the road was too long. The further he walked, the more dizzy he felt. The scenery in front of him became blurry, and finally he fell to the ground at the corner.
Like a walking corpse, Li Jinglang sat on the ground with his legs bent, his head buried deep in his chest, not moving at all.
A few dozen meters away from him, Tang Ningyue's car was parked behind the flower bed. The car window was rolled down, and the cold raindrops blew onto his arms with the wind. Tang Ningyue frowned subconsciously.
The driver in the front row had looked at the rearview mirror several times, but still hadn't waited for Tang Ningyue's order to leave.
"Mr. Tang, do you want me to bring you an umbrella?"
"..." Tang Ningyue finally came back to her senses, her pretty forehead slightly knitted. The car window was closed, and she sighed, "No need."
"Let's go."
-
In the end, it was Xu Qing who sent Li Jinglang back that night. When Xu Qing hurried down from upstairs, Li Jinglang was still squatting on the ground, his whole body wet.
This scene seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember which time it was. Li Jinglang was also abandoned on the road by Tang Ningyue. It was raining that day, and it was Xu Qing who took him away.
It seemed like it was a summer vacation of a certain year, Xu Qing couldn't remember clearly. In his impression, Li Jinglang always seemed to be wronged by Tang Ningyue, and he looked so embarrassed every time he saw him.
Over the years, Xu Qing seemed to have never seen what kind of look he got from Tang Ningyue. Sometimes when he mentioned it, Li Jinglang always denied it. He said that Tang Ningyue was very good to him and had always been very good to him.
It’s just that others don’t know about it and he is not willing to share it.
"Send you home? Or to my place?"
After finally getting the person into the car, Xu Qing also wrapped Li Jinglang in a plush blanket and leaned against the car window silently.
"Take me back to school." The sound of rain outside the window was so loud that Li Jinglang's voice was like a mosquito, slightly louder than a hum.
"Can you do it yourself?" Xu Qing also frowned, "You'd better go to my place."
“…”
Li Jinglang no longer had the energy to talk to him. He leaned drowsily aside, letting Xu Qing drive wherever he wanted.
Xu Qingye's home is not far from the company. The entire large flat is in a minimalist style. The decoration colors are not warm, and there are no unnecessary items. Even the bowls and chopsticks are plain colors. In fact, it is not consistent with his image of a warm man.
However, Xu Qing also arranged for Li Jinglang to stay in the guest bedroom with warm lights on and a night light inside.
"I'll make you some ginger tea. Take your medicine first."
Seeing Li Jinglang coming out of the bathroom, Xu Qing had already put his clothes at the end of the bed.
“…”
Li Jinglang looked down and suddenly called Xu Qing when he was about to go out.
"I like her." Li Jinglang paused, his throat rolling. "It's the kind of love between a man and a woman."
"..." Xu Qing didn't show any surprise on his face. Instead, he chuckled in relief, "I know."
Xu Qing is a smart guy and he would have noticed it.
"You're not angry?"
Perhaps he was a little flattered, Li Jinglang always felt that he shouldn't accept Xu Qingye's kindness now.
"What's there to be angry about?" Xu Qing also smiled. "Not everything in this world has to be right or wrong."
"Then why didn't you go to the engagement party?"
On the day of Tang Ningyue's engagement party, Zhou Su went to court because of a dispute. Xu Qing did not go either, and even showed up at the court hearing to help Zhou Su.
It was obviously just a small matter, and Zhou Su had a great chance of winning, but Xu Qing still didn't attend the engagement party out of spite.
"I will respect her wishes, but I also have the right to choose, right?"
"...You guys are really good at being good people."
"I am partial to her because I like her, too." Xu Qingye's tone relaxed a little, as if he was talking about some interesting childhood memories. "But I am also a person who can clearly distinguish between right and wrong when it comes to feelings and opinions."
“....”
It seems that everyone in the world is rational and sober, except Li Jinglang, who is a madman, loving in a humble and selfish way.
"Don't worry, I won't be like Zhou Yuhe and just take Tang Ningyue's side for everything. I'm different from him."
But in Xu Qingye's mind, Li Jinglang was not a good candidate either. It's just that everyone has selfish motives.
“…”
Li Jinglang lowered his head and thought for a while. Xu Qing didn't know what he was thinking. He was a child with a lot on his mind when he was young, and he still is now.
"Aren't you going to blow dry your hair yet?"
"During the time that Tang Ningyue was away from Beining... have you guys been in touch?"
After going around in circles, Li Jinglang returned to Tang Ningyue.
"No."
Xu Qing also folded his hands across his chest and answered.
"..." Li Jinglang finally turned around in silence, preparing to blow dry his hair, "I don't intend to treat you as my enemy."
"Jinglang."
"The reason you love her so much is because her charm is different from other women."
"So, you don't need to look for any enemy."
"Because it's useless."
"She only chooses what she wants and has nothing to do with everyone else's fights. Even if you get beaten to a pulp by me or someone else today, she won't feel bad."
"But I want her to love me!" Li Jinglang finally couldn't control himself. The transparent tears were almost thrown out with his movements, splashing onto the floor and reflecting the moonlight.
"I can't control myself..." Li Jinglang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but it was of no avail.
"There's no logic or answer to this. What should I do?"
"I've already died once." Li Jinglang sighed and leaned against the door. "Why do you want to revive me again?"
