Unable to bear the aggrieved look on his face as he wanted to speak but didn't dare, Cheng Ye pursed her lips and took the initiative to ask, "Have we met before?" It couldn't be that they fell in love at first sight on the street and then followed her around.
"I guess... we know each other." Tong Lu looked at him expectantly.
But Cheng Ye had to disappoint him in the end. Even with her big watery eyes, she still couldn't remember who he was.
"Is it?" Cheng Ye narrowed his eyes and licked his slightly dry lips. The next second, warm water was delivered to his lips.
"Drink some water first. I've called a doctor. We can eat after the examination." Tong Lu frowned. "We knew each other before, but you just don't remember me."
He sighed softly: "Maybe I'm too ordinary and not worth remembering."
If the chairman of Qianyi Technology is too ordinary, then this world - I'm afraid it's a fantasy world.
Cheng Ye took a sip of water from his hand, just to moisten his dry mouth.
Tong Lu didn't dare to let him drink more, so he quickly opened the cup.
"What is this?" Just as he withdrew his hand, Cheng Ye's pupils shrank. She grabbed his wrist and stared at the star pendant exposed under his sleeve. The cheap silver rhinestones were a little dazzling under the refraction of sunlight.
The cup swung violently, and most of the water spilled onto the quilt. Tong Lu was startled and turned around to grab a rag, but Cheng Ye still held his hand tightly: "Let go first, or the wound will get infected if water gets into it!"
Cheng Ye pretended not to hear: "Is this yours? Where did it come from? Did you buy it yourself? Was it given to you by someone else?"
Tong Lu simply lifted the quilt. Fortunately, the quilt was thick and his clothes were not wet at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and remembered to answer him: "Do you still remember?" His tone was full of joy.
How could I not remember it? It was so impressive that I will never forget it in my life!
He once had a star bracelet, but he no longer remembered what it looked like, as he had given it away a long time ago.
But it is said that this was the only item he had on him besides his bedding when he was picked up at the door of the orphanage.
It must be his mother's. He still remembers that the decoration didn't feel good and even a child could see it was a very cheap decoration. This also indirectly shows that he was abandoned because the family couldn't afford to raise him.
Although it was worthless, it was at least a comfort to him when he was a child - one day, his mother would use this token to find him, take him away, and give him a complete home.
When he was six years old, he was naughty and couldn't get down from a tree. He was afraid of being scolded, so he cried breathlessly on the tree. At one point, he thought he was going to jump down and die, but was saved by a little boy.
Cheng Ye still remembers the child opening his arms with a heroic look as if ready to die: "Jump down, I will definitely catch you!"
Cheng Ye was scared to death, but for some reason, he was finally persuaded.
He jumped!
But the little boy didn't catch him, and he almost killed the little boy.
The result was that he was completely safe and sound, and the little boy who saved him did fulfill his "promise" to a certain extent and did not let him get hurt at all.
Instead, his right leg was fractured by Cheng Ye and was wrapped in a thick plaster. He needed to rest for more than a month.
When the adults came, the little boy's parents' eyes were red with heartache, especially his mother, whose tears almost soaked her handkerchief, and she kept asking him what was wrong.
I seriously don't believe he would break a bone because of his mischief.
At that time, Cheng Ye was afraid of being punished by the orphanage, so he hid himself immediately, hiding behind a tree ten meters away.
Some people saw him, but no one knew he had anything to do with the accident. They all thought he was just like the other children, attracted by the excitement.
When the little boy was interrogated again, he didn't even look over, but took all the "blame" on himself and made up a perfect story that even Cheng Ye almost ignored that he was present at the time.
After the little boy was taken away, Cheng Ye watched the group walk away, feeling complacent for having avoided a scolding. Of course, he was also deeply moved by the little boy's righteous act. In a fit of rage, he gave away his only private property during the subsequent visit and made the first friend of his life.
but--
Cheng Ye suppressed the doubt in his eyes, and his emotions were not as high as before. It was like he had a test paper with full marks, but suddenly found a big mistake. It would be a pity to deduct points, but it would be unreasonable not to deduct points, so... how many points should be deducted?
"It's you. Your injury wasn't healed yet, so why did you leave? Without even saying goodbye?" He would wait foolishly at the agreed time every day until he could no longer go to find the little boy alone.
Leaving without saying goodbye and abandoning the friendship he valued so much, Cheng Ye thought he had already let it go, but he didn't expect that when he brought up the matter again, the seed buried deep in his heart sprouted and grew into an almost towering tree.
He picked at the corner of the quilt, his ears perked up, waiting to hear an explanation for his childhood self.
"No." Tong Lu keenly noticed that he seemed to be very resentful of him, and hurriedly explained, "I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean it. It was summer vacation, and I was staying at my grandmother's house. When my parents heard that I had a broken leg, they were afraid that my grandmother wouldn't be able to take care of me, so they took me back."
"Of course I wanted to say goodbye to you, but they came so suddenly and had to leave that day. No one had time to take me to find you, and I had to... my leg." "Yeah." Cheng Ye nodded in understanding. His leg was injured, so it was naturally impossible for him to come to find me.
"But...but I left you a little note and a message. I wrote down my home address and invited you to visit me. Of course, you could also write a letter, but...but I never heard from you again." The man cautiously glanced at his face. "By the time I was able to find you on my own, you were no longer in that orphanage."
"Yeah." At that time, there were too many children in the orphanage and the orphanage could not afford the high fees, so some of the children were transferred to another branch in the same city.
I have to say, sometimes there are just so many coincidences.
Cheng Ye nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't get the note, as for the verbal message, I think..." Recalling what the kind old lady said at that time, it seemed that there was an address?
But he was too young to understand at all, and because he was sad and distracted, of course he didn't remember the address.
"Later..." Tong Lu hesitated, "Not long ago, I came to see you, but you didn't remember me." When he said this, he looked melancholy, not pretending nor just sad. "Then, I saw you and, and - being very intimate, so I didn't dare to bother you again."
"Don't dare?"
"I'm afraid I will kill that man." He was not joking. What's more, he had simulated countless times how to make that man disappear from this world without anyone noticing, but - because of Cheng Ye, he could do nothing except stay away from him.
He went through so much trouble to find Cheng Ye, not just to watch him show his affection with others and then silently bless him.
"I was across the street when you and - he had an argument." Tong Lu was still terrified when talking about the thrilling scene that day, and it even overwhelmed his anger towards the two people!
There is also a strong sense of Jiang's guilt and self-blame.
"It's my fault. I failed to protect you."
He could have held Cheng Ye back, he could have prevented this tragedy, but a road made him completely collapse.
He jumped over the fence, ran a red light, and forced a traffic stop, but in the end he still had to watch Cheng Ye being caught under the wheels, helplessly watching the bright red blood gushing out.
At that moment, the world seemed to stand still.
The world was spinning, and everything he saw became pale and powerless. For the first time in his life, he felt the pain of suffocation and despair.
His heart was being pulled and cut, and Tong Lu couldn't even remember how he rushed to Cheng Ye's side, or how he faced Cheng Ye who was almost submerged in bright red blood.
He looked at his hands covered in blood and his face trembled.
"Ye Zi, Ye Zi, don't scare me. Open your eyes, open your eyes and look at me, Cheng Ye. I won't allow you to do anything. You said your life belongs to me. You said that you can't die without my consent! Cheng Ye!"
Tong Lu was hysterical for the first time. He slapped himself three times in the face with his blood-red hands and managed to calm down.
He took out his cell phone and dialed 120 first, then took off his clothes and covered Cheng Ye, muttering softly: "It's okay, nothing will happen, I'm here, nothing will happen to you, Ye Zi, believe me, be strong! Be strong!!" He began to yell as he spoke, he didn't dare to touch Cheng Ye, he could only pull his hair helplessly, "I'm talking to you, respond to me, Cheng Ye! How can you be so cruel! Cheng Ye——"
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have backed down. If—if I had been braver, if I had fought harder, you wouldn't have gotten hurt. Ye Zi, this is my fault, it's all my fault. Please don't—don't let you bear the cost of this mistake, okay?" Tong Lu went completely crazy. His men frantically performed first aid on Cheng Ye according to the instructions on the phone. They murmured and roared, "I'll trade with you. Let me get hit by a car. Let me get into trouble. You... open your eyes, open your eyes."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Tong, the patient has..."
"You're talking nonsense!" Tong Lu swung his fist, but was stopped by three or five policemen who had been watching him for a long time. He struggled forward with his hands and feet, "Save him, save him! He's not dead! How could he die? He can't die!"
"Mr. Tong..." The doctor had seen all sorts of scenes. He dodged in time and wasn't hit by the fist. Seeing Tong Lu's pale face and the look of a walking corpse, he felt a little sorry. "The patient has comminuted fractures all over his body, his chest ribs are inserted into his lungs, and he's lost too much blood..."
He had already died, there was no need for emergency treatment.
Tong Lu paused, and the policeman holding him slowly let go of his hand when he saw that he had calmed down.
Tong Lu's knees suddenly softened, and he actually knelt on the ground. He grabbed his bloody clothes and said, "No, no, please, please save him. I have money, I have organs, you can ask for anything, and I can exchange him for anything. Please, I beg you..."
The doctor swore that this was the first time he had seen a grown man, a man who was obviously very successful in business, behave so out of control in public.
But there was really nothing he could do but walk away.
"You, who among you can save him? As long as you can save him, I will do anything. As long as you can save him, I will give you everything. Please..."
"Tong—Tong Lu?" Cheng Ye was still not used to his new name, and felt a little distant as if he was talking to a stranger.
"Ah?" Tong Lu suddenly came to his senses and turned away in panic, not daring to look at Cheng Ye's still pale face again, lest the bloody scene reappear in his dreams. He rubbed his sore nose with the back of his hand, and then realized that his eyes were a little wet. Under Cheng Ye's gaze, he didn't dare to reach out and wipe them. He could only blink and forcefully swallow the soreness in his throat. "What's wrong?"
"So you sent me to the hospital?" Cheng Ye didn't notice his complex inner thoughts, and only lowered his eyes for a moment. "By the way, what about those two? The scumbag and the scumbag? Were they arrested by the police?"
"..." This isn't a criminal case, how could it be possible? But -
The man glanced at Cheng Ye's expression, which was completely calm and seemed to have completely broken off with the "scumbag", and thought that if Ye Zi wanted them to go to jail, there was still a lot of room for maneuver.
He has been busy taking care of Cheng Ye all this time and almost forgot about the two culprits.
Whenever Tong Lu thought of Cheng Ye lying limply on the ground, looking pale and lifeless, he wished he could cut the two men into pieces, dismember them, or even chop them into minced meat!
No, only by turning himself into a human pig could he barely eliminate the overwhelming hatred in his heart. He wanted to make those two people suffer a fate neither able to live nor to die.
Cheng Ye was just talking casually, he's not stupid.
They had argued, even come to blows. In the chaos, he was pushed and stumbled onto the road. The appearance of the large truck was purely accidental. Before he died, he even saw Bai Feiyao's panicked expression and the hand that rushed over to grab him -
But at the last moment, he was still cowardly and retreated for fear of being affected.
Time has diluted everything, and his hatred is not as strong as it was then, but now that he is back, he still has to seek justice.
"I didn't notice." Tong Lu's tone was indifferent, and there was no sign of the helplessness and collapse he felt as if his world had collapsed.
"Oh." Cheng Ye nodded.
The ward became quiet again, and a faint awkward atmosphere hung between the two of them.
Although they are not strangers, compared with the close and negative distance relationship in the small world, they are still a little uncomfortable now.
Cheng Ye bit her lower lip, suddenly tugged at the corner of Tong Lu's clothes, and forced her upper body up under the other's puzzled gaze.
"What are you doing?!" Tong Lu was startled and hurriedly supported him, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Or do you need to pick up something? Don't move." His body was covered with bandages, what if he got bumped into something!
"No." Cheng Ye pursed her lips and waved at him, "Come here."
"?"
"Can you come over? Hiss—it hurts!" He gasped, and his chest felt like it was being pricked by needles.
"You say." Tong Lu leaned over quickly.
The strong smell of disinfectant could not cover up the unique refreshing smell on Cheng Ye. Tong Lu's eyes shook for a moment, but were quickly suppressed.
Just as Tong Lu was getting closer, Cheng Ye suddenly propped herself up and gave him a light kiss on the chin.
Tong Lu was stunned on the spot and stared at him blankly.
"you--"
"Nothing, I just want to kiss you." He smacked his lips and felt that Cheng Xi was still Cheng Xi, not really a stranger just because she had changed her shell.
He could not mistake the affection and love in those eyes.
This is him, the one who loves me deeply.
