Chapter 286 Let Go
The light outside the corridor of the guesthouse was dim. Liu Hua stood outside the door, while Ye Rou and Jiang Chen stood inside.
The thick clouds moved and blocked half of the light, and the sunlight shifted to Ye Rou, making her look white and bright, while the other two people were shrouded in deeper shadows.
Ye Rou greeted with a smile: "Senior Brother Liu, you're back."
"Yeah." Liu Huaping ran upstairs slowly, his breathing becoming rapid. "Are you guys leaving? Why don't you sit for a while?"
Ye Rou shook her head and said softly, "Master is not in good spirits. We can't disturb him any more. My master said to stay and accompany him."
Liu Hua had no choice but to say, "I'll take you downstairs."
The two of them chatted back and forth, and Jiang Chen remained silent from beginning to end.
Liu Hua walked in front, and Ye Rou followed closely. The corridor was not long, and they quickly walked into the light. The warm sunlight gave the two of them a layer of gold, which was dazzling.
Jiang Chen looked at their backs in silence, his eyes dark.
He has always been very clear about one thing: Ye Rou actually doesn't need him at all.
Ye Rou is beautiful and has medical skills. The reason why she stayed with him was because she had not yet acquired the powerful abilities she has today and needed his protection.
But Ye Rou no longer needs it now.
Ye Rou was in danger several times, but she managed to escape danger on her own and did not need his protection.
Perhaps without him, Ye Rou would live a better and more comfortable life.
Because he knew this fact, Jiang Chen became more and more worried about gains and losses.
He clung to Ye Rou tightly, confirming Ye Rou's love for him all the time, and could not tolerate the existence of anyone who would take away Ye Rou's love.
Looking at the backs of the two, Jiang Chen's eyes became darker.
Liu Hua and Ye Rou should not be allowed to come into contact. He should take Ye Rou away, and leave now.
Countless thoughts were clamoring in his mind, but Jiang Chen didn't move a step.
The darkness turned into a rope that tightly wrapped around him, and he fell suddenly into the stinking swamp.
Ye Rou was standing on the shore not far away, beautiful and bright, without a trace of darkness.
In his mind, he clamored to pull Ye Rou down, sink into the darkness with him, and take possession of everything she had in the future.
Pull her down, Jiang Chen.
Take her away now and never let her know the truth.
"Jiang Chen."
A gentle call brought Jiang Chen back. He came back to his senses and found Ye Rou was beside him. Her delicate little hand was holding his hand. Her long and soft eyebrows were slightly frowned, and the corners of her fox eyes drooped slightly, her eyes were full of concern.
"Are you not feeling well? You didn't even respond when I called you."
Ye Rou didn't hear Jiang Chen's footsteps and subconsciously turned back to look for him.
Jiang Chen stood there, his eyes empty and lonely, which made Ye Rou's heart wrenched. She walked back and held Jiang Chen's hand.
Ye Rou subconsciously reached out to test Jiang Chen's forehead temperature, "No fever."
She pulled up Jiang Chen's arm and checked the place where Zhao Wan had scratched him. "Is the wound itchy again?"
Jiang Chen looked at Ye Rou for a long time, his eyes were deep and his gaze was blurred and complicated.
With her gentle tone, the lingering fragrance, and the caring gestures, Ye Rou's love was like spring water that firmly supported Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, as if mocking, and he said in an inaudible voice: "You shouldn't have come back."
"What?" Ye Rou heard Jiang Chen's words clearly, but didn't understand what he meant.
Who is coming back and where?
The girl was standing in front of him, wearing a light pink shirt, her cheeks flushed, and her fox eyes were wide open with confusion.
The coldness around Jiang Chen dissipated, and he could no longer hold back. He took Ye Rou's hand, pressed it to his lips and kissed her.
The kiss didn't last long, but it was heavy, wet and tender, and it was deeply imprinted on Ye Rou's heart.
He whispered, "I'm not feeling uncomfortable. I was just thinking about something."
Ye Rou breathed a sigh of relief and held his hand without letting go, "It's time to go home."
Jiang Chen was led forward by Ye Rou.
Liu Hua stood at the end of the corridor and took everything in.
"Brother, let's go."
"good."
Ye Rou was unaware of anything. The two men following behind her looked at each other, their eyes equally complicated and incomprehensible.
At the door of the guesthouse, Jiang Chen suddenly grabbed Ye Rou.
Ye Rou stopped in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I'm going to get the car, you wait here." Jiang Chen let go of Ye Rou's hand, and without waiting for Ye Rou to answer, he turned around and his expression quickly turned cold, like the surface of a frozen lake.
He was already in hell and couldn't drag Ye Rou down.
She should know the truth of the matter.
The jeep was parked not far away. Jiang Chen did not get in. He leaned against the door, playing with a cigarette, quietly waiting for Ye Rou, who knew everything, to come back.
Whether she is angry, furious or ignores him anymore, he can bear it and will try his best to make amends and win Ye Rou's forgiveness.
——
Ye Rou and her senior brother stood together, silence covering the two of them. For a moment, Ye Rou couldn't think of any topic to talk about. When she was feeling embarrassed, her senior brother took the initiative to speak.
"Have you read the letter I gave you?"
Ye Rou's expression became even more embarrassed, "No."
Liu Hua's expression suddenly turned cold, "Did Jiang Chen not let you watch it?"
The suspicion in his tone made Ye Rou dissatisfied, and she immediately explained: "It's not Jiang Chen, I accidentally spilled the medicine on the envelope, and I can't read it."
Liu Hua's frown finally relaxed.
Ye Rou asked, "Brother, what did you write in the envelope you gave me?"
Liu Hua's expression froze and he did not immediately answer Ye Rou's words.
The reason why he rushed back was to confirm whether Ye Rou had seen the letter.
If Jiang Chen destroyed the letter in order to conceal the truth, Liu Hua would personally tell Ye Rou the truth about everything.
The starting point for all this was only one - unwillingness.
He fell in love with Ye Rou at first sight. After they parted hastily, he often thought of Ye Rou.
But Ye Rou had a partner and got married soon, leaving him no chance to pursue her.
Liu Hua should have given up.
It wasn't until his uncle let it slip that Jiang Chen had sealed his meridians without Ye Rou's knowledge that his first reaction was to be secretly delighted.
He was secretly delighted that he had another chance.
But he was unwilling to admit it and only deceived himself by saying that he was doing it for Ye Rou's own good.
Holding this banner, he ignored his uncle's obstruction and left a letter to Ye Rou.
He secretly hoped that Jiang Chen would destroy the letter, so that Jiang Chen would have another crime to add to his collection.
He was the one who told Ye Rou the truth and exposed the hypocritical and selfish mask of her partner.
After he ran into the guesthouse and saw Ye Rou, he became very firm in his belief in this idea.
Until he saw Ye Rou go back and hold Jiang Chen's hand because Jiang Chen didn't catch up.
Ye Rou loves Jiang Chen. These five words turned into a sharp sword that pierced his heart.
Liu Hua knew that Jiang Chen had guessed his intention of leaving the envelope.
If Jiang Chen was really selfish, he should have taken Ye Rou away and not given him the chance to be alone with Ye Rou.
But it was Jiang Chen who left first.
Jiang Chen is giving him a chance.
An opportunity for him to tell Ye Rou all the truth.
Faced with Ye Rou's curiosity about the letter, Liu Hua should have taken the opportunity to bring up the content of the letter and tell Ye Rou that Jiang Chen was hiding something from her.
When the words came to his lips, he changed his tone, smiled bitterly and asked, "Are you happy after getting married?"
Ye Rou nodded without hesitation, "To be more precise, I'm happy."
Liu Hua was bewildered. "What's the difference between being happy and being happy?"
Ye Rou smiled brightly, with the corners of her eyes raised, and a bright red mole seemed to be glowing, making her skin look even more beautiful.
"Be happy every day, and when you add up, you get happiness."
"I see. I understand."
Liu Hua smiled gently, hiding the bitterness in his eyes, and answered Ye Rou's previous question.
"There's nothing in the letter."
Seeing Ye Rou wanted to ask more questions, Liu Hua smiled and said, "I'll just drop you off here. Go back quickly."
Ye Rou's intuition told her that something was wrong.
But her senior brother urged her to leave.
Ye Rou left with a lot of doubts.
She had just taken two steps when she heard her senior brother calling her.
Ye Rou turned around.
My senior brother was standing on the steps, wearing a white shirt, as gentle and gentlemanly as when we first met.
"Goodbye, Junior Sister."
Ye Rou nodded and waved to her senior brother with a smile.
Liu Hua smiled slightly, without watching Ye Rou leave, turned and walked into the guesthouse.
Ye Rou continued walking and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time that her senior brother called her "Junior Sister".
——
The jeep door was closed. Jiang Chen leaned on the seat with his eyes lowered and a cigarette in his hand that had been crushed.
Liu Hua must have already told Ye Rou.
How would Ye Rou react?
Angry, annoyed, or even disgusted with him.
“Bang, bang.”
There was a knock on the car window, and Jiang Chen woke up with a start. After seeing the person outside the window, his eyes froze.
Ye Rou stood outside the car, smiling brightly.
Seeing Jiang Chen in a daze, Ye Rou found it amusing and knocked on the car window again.
Suddenly the car door opened, and a wheat-colored hand with bulging blue veins stretched out, grabbed Ye Rou, and pulled her into the car.
