Chapter 5 Jiangchuan, we

Because of the effect of the anesthetic, Xiao Qingru slept very deeply.

Jiang Chuan sat on the chair and reached out to touch Xiao Qingru's face.

But because the other person's face was too pale, as if it would break if touched lightly, he slowly withdrew it.

He whispered, "Qingru, I really didn't mean it."

"Can you forgive me?"

There is no answer to this question.

Only the inner torment is tormenting Jiangchuan again and again. Will Qingru blame him?

Will this cause any physical harm to her?

The more I think about it, the more tormented I become.

Time passed by second by second, until the nurse came to change the medicine, and the person on the bed gradually woke up.

"Qingru, are you awake?"

The moment she saw Jiang Chuan, Xiao Qingru recalled the image of him holding Du Wanqiu and leaving.

There was no more joy when I saw him in the past, "Why are you here?"

With a slightly stagnant expression, Jiang Chuan said apologetically, "Auntie went home to make porridge and asked me to stay here to look after you, Qingru, I didn't mean to leave you behind."

"Well, I know that Comrade Du's situation is more urgent. You are right to worry about her."

Although it was a considerate remark, it sent chills down Jiangchuan's spine.

As childhood sweethearts who grew up together, they know each other's temper too well.

Only in front of outsiders would Qingru be so polite and distant.

This shouldn't be the case between them.

Jiang Chuan held her hand anxiously, "Qingru, I really didn't mean it. I went back to find you after I settled Comrade Du. I was just a step late."

Is it really just a step behind?

Curling her lips sarcastically, Xiao Qingru pulled back her lips forcefully, "I'm fine here, you can go."

"No, I won't leave."

Qingru is still angry, wouldn't it be an even greater crime if he left?

You have to coax her into submission.

"Qingru, are you thirsty?"

"Qingru, are you hungry?"

No matter what he said, Xiao Qingru turned a deaf ear to it and let it go in one ear and out the other.

She didn't want to experience that chilling feeling again.

Some things are destined not to belong to you.

She had dignity, and she couldn't humble herself to the ground for a man and tolerate him again and again.

That's all.

"When I take my next vacation, you should be well again. Then let's go to the city to watch a movie, shall we?"

"If you don't want to watch a movie, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative. I have saved a few cloth coupons here, which are just enough to buy you a skirt."

"Didn't you say before that you wanted to take a photo with me? Let's go to the photo studio when the time comes."

Seeing Xiao Qingru was unmoved, Jiang Chuan's breathing quickened a bit, "Didn't you say that the braised pork in the state-owned restaurant is delicious? I'll take you there to eat it then."

The more he spoke, the colder Xiao Qingru's eyes became, and there was even a hint of annoyance in them.

This was a feeling Jiang Chuan had never experienced before, as if he was no longer important to her.

He held Xiao Qingru's hand again, with an obvious pleading tone in his voice.

"Qingru, it's not like that."

"Don't look at me like that."

Trying to take it back but failing, Xiao Qingru said with anger in her eyes, "When you choose others again and again, you should have thought of this result!"

"I am a woman, not a god. I can't stand my fiancé putting another woman first, so Jiangchuan, we are done!"

After she made the decision, Xiao Qingru couldn't help but feel relieved. She should have done this a long time ago.

When Jiang Chuan took the initiative to try to support Du Wanqiu's life, she should have left decisively.

"Jiangchuan, let's go."

Hearing Xiao Qingru say this in person, Jiang Chuan felt like he was hit on the head with a club.

My mind went blank for a moment.

They grew up together, how could Qingru be with him?

He must have heard it wrong.

He pulled the corners of his mouth hard, "There is nothing between me and Du Wanqiu. I only take care of her for the sake of our friendship. Qingru, did they gossip in front of you? You don't believe them."

Xiao Qingru had heard this countless times and was already tired of it.

No longer letting Jiang Chuan deceive himself, he said word by word: "Since you chose her again and again, it's impossible for us."

"There is nothing wrong between me and her."

Xiao Qingru frowned irritably, "What I care about is your actual actions. Regardless of whether you are innocent or not, you have helped her unconditionally time and time again. This is a fact!"

Jiangchuan had no way to refute, he knew that where there was gossip, there was gossip, he just ignored it because Qingru didn't care.

"I won't help her anymore. Keep your distance from her, okay?"

Jiang Chuan stared at Xiao Qingru with burning eyes, "I will do whatever you want me to do, just don't say anything else, I will listen to you."

Xiao Qingru looked away and told herself that she could no longer be soft-hearted.

Giving in again and again would only make others step on her bottom line more recklessly.

Knowing that Xiao Qingru was soft-hearted and easy to talk to, Jiang Chuan continued, "Uncle Xiao said that after Du Wanqiu gave birth, the organization would arrange for her to return to her hometown, and she would no longer appear in our lives. Qingru, don't give up our relationship for an outsider."

"I……"

Xiao Qingru had just opened the door when she was interrupted by a knock on the door.

It was Wang's wife who came, "Comrade Jiang, Wanqiu had bleeding after giving birth, and I don't understand what the doctor said. You should go and have a look."

Jiang Chuan stood up suddenly and let go of Xiao Qingru at the same time.

After taking two steps, he finally came to his senses.

He hurried back to the bedside and asked carefully, "Qingru, can I go take a look?"

Xiao Qingru felt numb inside, and her subconscious actions could not deceive anyone.

Even if Du Wanqiu leaves here, Jiang Chuan will still run to her as long as she needs him.

Once again, it's enough.

Putting her hand under the quilt and pinching her heart hard, Xiao Qingru told herself again and again to wake up and not be fooled by him again!

"Qingru?"

Jiang Chuan's eyes were filled with anxiety, but because Xiao Qingru didn't say anything, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qingru suddenly laughed.

That smile did not reach his eyes, and carried with it an inexplicable sadness.

"Are you tired?"

Jiang Chuan was puzzled and didn't know why she asked this question at this time.

Xiao Qingru stopped making things difficult for him and said, "Go now."

"I'll come back to accompany you once she's settled there."

Without waiting for Xiao Qingru's reply, Jiang Chuan left in a hurry after leaving these words.

He was anxious and worried, and anyone could see it.

In his heart, is Du Wanqiu really just a friend's widow?

Perhaps because she had experienced similar situations too many times, Xiao Qingru was not surprised at all by Jiang Chuan's choice.

I touched the dry corners of her eyes. It was so strange that she didn't cry this time.

I don't feel so bad anymore.
