Chapter 51
Xiao Yuncheng shrugged, looking nonchalant: "You don't even know what cards I have left, and you blame me?"
Shi Qian was not convinced and asked for another round. The four people each drew seven cards and determined the order of playing. This time Wu Tong played first, followed by Xiao Yuncheng, Lin Chen, and Shi Qian.
"Red two."
"Red One."
"Same number, green one."
Shi Qian gave a wicked smile and handed over a card: "Yellow Turn."
Lin Chen also smiled at him: "Yellow Nine."
"Can you guys stop making faces?" Xiao Yuncheng said speechlessly, "Yellow Six."
Wu Tong took a look at the cards in his hand and saw that he had no cards to play, so he consciously picked up a card.
Three rounds of play took place, and no one had played all the cards in their hands. Shi Qian uno'd twice but had no chance to play. Wu Tong also uno'd once, but Xiao Yuncheng ruthlessly added two cards to his hand.
"Uno." Lin Chen said lightly after playing his cards.
"Lin Chen, can I still trust you?" Seeing Shi Qian looking at Lin Chen seriously, Lin Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and asked him to play a card.
Shi Qian decided to trust Lin Chen for once and boldly played a turn card, but Lin Chen happened to have a green card. Shi Qian was incredulous: "You tricked me?!"
"How do I know it's such a coincidence?" Lin Chen laughed so hard that he fell back. Shi Qian was so angry that he loudly accused his friend of betrayal.
Wu Tong also had a smile on his face as he watched them making noise. Suddenly, a water cup appeared beside him. Wu Tong turned around and met Xiao Yuncheng's eyes. Xiao Yuncheng said softly, "Drink some."
Wu Tong nodded, picked up the water cup and drank it in one gulp.
They played together for a long time, and soon it was afternoon. Lin Chen checked the time and nudged Shi Qian gently: "We have to go back."
Shi Qian looked at Wu Tong with reluctance, and Wu Tong smiled and said, "It's okay, come and play again next time."
Shi Qian said okay and left with Lin Chen obediently. Wu Tong looked at the closed ward door and said to Xiao Yuncheng, "I think... there's something going on between them."
Wu Tong turned to look at Xiao Yuncheng, who nodded and said, "That's right, but Lin Chen didn't dare to say it."
Wu Tong showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, thinking in his heart that he hoped they would be fine, and even more hoped that they would be happy. Xiao Yuncheng could see what Wu Tong was thinking and said softly: "But this matter also depends on their luck."
"That's right." Wu Tong agreed. This kind of thing really can't be rushed.
Xiao Yuncheng sat down next to Wu Tong, put his arm around his shoulder, and said, "Lin Chen, Shi Qian, and I all went to the same police academy, and even lived in the same dormitory. We have a very good relationship. Lin Chen, for example, will occasionally joke with me, but he's also very considerate, especially when it comes to Shi Qian."
Wu Tong nodded. He could see that Lin Chen was a very good person, especially when he was with Shi Qian. Shi Qian also seemed to rely on this good friend. Shi Qian was not a man who would make trouble, but every time Lin Chen was next to him, he would be more relaxed and not have any concerns. Wu Tong thought about it and laughed.
Wu Tong stayed in the hospital for another week. When he was discharged, Shi Qian, Lin Chen and Xuan Li all came. Xuan Li walked up to Wu Tong and held her hand, looking distressed: "Oh, our Tongtong, it's really..."
"It's okay, Sister Li, I'm fine." Wu Tong smiled and patted her hand to comfort her.
Shi Qian and Lin Chen walked over to Wu Tong and chatted with him. Xiao Yuncheng went to get the car. Five minutes later, he came out of the door of the underground garage and took them into the car.
Xiao Yuncheng's car can carry six people, but the funny thing is that Xuan Li is the extra person. Xuan Li sat in the back row with a speechless look on his face, complaining faintly: "Why should I follow you? I'm going."
There was a burst of laughter in the car.
Having said that, Xuan Li didn't give any suggestions. He continued to play and joke with them, having a great time. After arriving at the police station, Xiao Yuncheng looked at Wu Tong and said, "Do you remember those two people who wanted to kill you at the beginning?"
Wu Tong turned his head and frowned: "Those two?"
Xiao Yuncheng nodded, got out of the car with Wu Tong, and walked into the police station. Xiao Yuncheng continued, "They confessed a while ago. They are Wang Jia's people."
Wu Tong's eyes widened a little and he said, "I thought it was Chen Xiuping's people at the time."
It was indeed a bit surprising. It turned out that Wu Tong had been targeted by Wang Jia so early, and he almost succeeded. Fortunately, Xiao Yuncheng arrived in time. Thinking of this, Wu Tong turned around and walked backwards. He tilted his head at Xiao Yuncheng and said, "Were you following me at that time?"
Xiao Yuncheng reached out and helped him avoid a passing police officer. The police officer was startled and greeted them respectfully: "Captain Xiao, Consultant Wu."
Xiao Yuncheng nodded to the policeman. Wu Tong waved to the policeman with a slight smile on his face, looking in a good mood. The policeman felt a little embarrassed, smiled, bowed, and left.
Xiao Yuncheng turned around, his hands in his trouser pockets, looking very casual: "Shouldn't you have followed me first?"
"Don't be so sentimental." Wu Tong said speechlessly, "I'm following Chen Hao."
Wu Tong laughed again and teased him, "But it's okay, I have 'God of Heaven' to save me."
“…” Xiao Yuncheng scratched his head awkwardly: “After all, I saved you.”
Wu Tong laughed and turned around, walking side by side with Xiao Yuncheng. He always stood very straight, and because of his excellent body proportions, he looked like a sculpture when he was not smiling. But once there was an expression on his face, he looked a little more alive. Xiao Yuncheng looked at him like this, always feeling that the person in front of him was out of reach.
Wu Tong didn't notice Xiao Yuncheng's mood. He turned around and whispered, "Oh, brother."
But Xiao Yuncheng didn't smile, and there was no expression on his face. He didn't know what was wrong with him. His emotions were fluctuating, as if Wu Tong had infected him with his emotions. When Wu Tong got better, Xiao Yuncheng got sick again.
Wu Tong then realized that something was wrong with Xiao Yuncheng, and his smiling face immediately turned cold. He suspected that Xiao Yuncheng was hiding something from him. Now seeing Xiao Yuncheng's absent-minded look, he became even more angry. He had promised Xiao Yuncheng that he would cherish himself and him, but what was Xiao Yuncheng trying to do now by acting like this?
Wu Tong stopped walking. Xiao Yuncheng realized that his emotions were out of control and immediately put on a smile, but it was far less natural than before. Xiao Yuncheng asked him cautiously, "What's wrong?"
"You're asking me?" Wu Tong frowned. Shi Qian had told him about Xiao Yuncheng's misbehavior outside the ward, and Wu Tong had felt heartbroken at the time. He knew it couldn't be changed, so he had chosen to accept it under Xiao Yuncheng's guidance. But what about Xiao Yuncheng? He was saying things against his will, yet he refused to accept the outcome. What kind of person was that?
"What are you thinking about?" Wu Tong looked at Xiao Yuncheng. He was really cold when he didn't smile, and he had an aura that kept people away. Xiao Yuncheng opened his mouth, but no words came out, just like the dream he had at that time.
Wu Tong waited for a long time but Xiao Yuncheng didn't say anything. He was so angry that he turned around and left without caring about anything. Xiao Yuncheng stood there in a daze. He even thought it was a dream. The scene of Wu Tong leaving like this was the end of every dream. It was not until Lin Chen ran out from the other end of the corridor that he came to his senses.
Lin Chen walked up to him with a serious expression: "What's wrong with you?"
"What's going on?" Xiao Yuncheng was confused and looked around: "Where's Tongtong?"
"Wu Tong has gone home." Lin Chen said unhappily. He pointed out the window and said, "Xiao Yuncheng, how many times has this happened? Why are you like this now?"
Xiao Yuncheng didn't know either. He didn't know how to answer Lin Chen or Wu Tong. Wu Tong went home? What should he do then? He just remembered it now.
Xiao Yuncheng didn't want to answer him and turned to leave, but Lin Chen obviously didn't let him escape. He reached out and grabbed him, and forcefully brought him back to Shi Qian's office. Shi Qian turned around when he heard the door open, and his expression was not good. Wu Tong, who Lin Chen just said was going home, was also standing next to Shi Qian.
Xiao Yuncheng was shocked by the scene. He was taken in front of Wu Tong like a prisoner to be interrogated. Shi Qian patted Wu Tong on the shoulder and pulled Lin Chen out first.
Xiao Yuncheng looked at Wu Tong blankly, but Wu Tong didn't look at him. Xiao Yuncheng knew that Wu Tong knew about his failure to get over it, so he decided to admit his mistake first: "Tongtong, I..."
"Xiao Yuncheng, what exactly do you think? Tell me now." Wu Tong interrupted him without giving him a chance to quibble.
Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a moment before saying, "Sorry."
Wu Tong frowned in dissatisfaction. He didn't want to hear Xiao Yuncheng say this. Wu Tong slowly exhaled, his voice much lower: "Xiao Yuncheng, do you... really not want to be with me anymore?"
"No." Xiao Yuncheng answered this question quickly. No matter how painful his dreams were, no matter how pessimistic he was, there was only one answer to this question.
But Wu Tong didn't get any comfort from it. He continued, "So what are you doing now?"
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't bear to see Wu Tong sad, so he held Wu Tong's hand and softly admitted his mistake: "Tongtong, I was really wrong."
"What the hell did you do wrong?!" Wu Tong finally couldn't stand it anymore and shook off Xiao Yuncheng's hand. Xiao Yuncheng was frightened by Wu Tong and looked at Wu Tong blankly, at a loss.
Wu Tong's hands began to tremble, and tears filled his eyes. He could barely see Xiao Yuncheng's face, but Wu Tong didn't care. He said, "You taught me and guided me so patiently before, and I made it through. What about you? Are you like this now?!"
Yes, he could make Wu Tong let go, but he didn’t know how to let go himself. He could save Wu Tong, but he couldn’t save himself.
"Xiao Yuncheng, if you're like this." Wu Tong choked up a bit, but still said, "Let's not talk about it anymore."
Xiao Yuncheng's pupils suddenly widened. He originally thought that this kind of emotional torture was enough. He still wanted Wu Tong to be happy, even though he had dreamed of Wu Tong disappearing so many times, so many times that he could hardly distinguish between reality and dreams.
But Xiao Yuncheng refused to break up with Wu Tong, no matter in reality or in a dream. He quickly stepped forward and hugged Wu Tong tightly, very tightly. Wu Tong tried desperately to break free, but it was no use.
Xiao Yuncheng buried his face in the side of his neck and whispered, "Don't break up, okay?"
Wu Tong held back his tears. Seeing that he couldn't break free, he let Xiao Yuncheng hold him like this. Wu Tong said, "Xiao Yuncheng, do you...care about me?"
"I care, very much." Xiao Yuncheng replied quickly.
"But I feel like you're in so much pain when you're with me."
Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a long time after hearing this, but he finally smiled bitterly. It was very painful, but he still wanted to find the remaining sweetness in the glass shards, so that it wouldn't matter how much blood he bleeds. However, the blood cannot stop flowing, and the sweetness will eventually disappear.
