Chapter 83 Chapter 83 I Can't Bear to Die
Tan Du insisted on being discharged from the hospital after one night. Su Qi couldn't persuade him and drove him there.
More than a month had passed since the accident, and Tan Du's work had almost been handed over. It wouldn't take much time to handle the simple procedures, but the leader felt it was a pity and took him aside to chat for a while.
As a result, on the way home, I encountered the familiar evening rush hour again.
After hearing what his colleague said at the company, Su Qi deliberately avoided the overpass that day.
"Go to the elevated road." Tan Du said.
"It's faster to go downstairs." said Su Qi.
"Su Qi." Tan Du called again.
"Why are you doing this?" Su Qi said.
Tan Du looked at him in the rearview mirror, his eye sockets sunken and his eyeballs motionless.
Su Qi's heart trembled, he sighed, drove onto the elevated road, and kept an eye on the back seat, afraid that he would be in the same situation as at the airport.
There was no response this time.
Tan Du seemed very calm.
After entering the community, the first person to come to me was the property management.
Su Qi went to pay the property management fee and was a step late when he went upstairs.
"It was just a little late!" Su Qi still felt scared when he said this, "Luckily it was only that little while..."
When he went upstairs, Tan Du was eating, mechanically stuffing his food into his mouthfuls.
Su Qi smelled something wrong and asked, "Where did you get this food?"
Tan Du didn't reply to him. He was crying, and the food went down his stomach mixed with his tears.
There was a note on the dining table -
Xiaodu, remember to heat it up before eating. Your uncle and aunt will be waiting for you to come home.
The paper slipped from Su Qi's fingers, and he rushed over to snatch the chopsticks from Tan Du's hand.
Without chopsticks, Tan Du grabbed the food with his hands. Su Qi held his hands, and he just lowered his head to eat.
Until finally falling into a coma.
Su Qi cursed in anger at the bedside: "Food poisoning! It can kill people, you know!"
Tan Du said something, but no sound came out. But Su Qi heard it clearly. He said, "It's better to die."
"He doesn't want to live anymore." Qiao Zhuo turned his back to him and looked out the window, his voice choked.
Last night, he half coaxed and half dragged Tan Du back to the villa. In the second half of the night, Tan Du was still crying with his eyes open.
He's been holding it in for too long.
I haven't cried since that meal.
Qiao Zhuoyi couldn't say "You are not wrong". Such comfort was too pale. Who could he fool?
It was indeed because of him that Bai's father and mother boarded the plane, if they hadn't been thinking that "this life belongs to Bai Yue."
He couldn't see a single living Tan Du.
Qiao Zhuoyi put a pill in his water cup. He was probably exhausted. When dawn broke, Tan Du was asleep at least. He hurried to find Su Qi.
"What happened next?" Qiao Zhuo asked, "Why did he go out and wander around?"
"I was really afraid he wasn't going to make it," Su Qi said. "I thought about taking him out, anywhere, because he couldn't stay home alone. When we were in the northwest, we met a cycling group. He stared at them for a long time and sat on the hotel balcony all night. The next day, he bought a bike, left a message, and left."
Qiao Zhuoyi asked some more questions, and was afraid that Tan Du would be anxious if he couldn't find him when he woke up, so he prepared to go back first.
"Give me the address of Bai Yue's boxing gym."
"Ah? Okay," Su Qi suddenly thought of something, "By the way, do you have a dog?"
"What's wrong?" Qiao Zhuo turned around and asked.
"Take it with you when you go," said Su Qi.
Tanluo tiptoed down the stairs. Qiao Zhuoyi squatted down and touched his head: "Is he not awake?"
“Woo—”
"Okay, let's go play."
Qiao Zhuoyi took the packed food into the kitchen. Afraid of waking everyone upstairs, he went straight to the sofa to catch up on his sleep.
When I woke up, it was dark.
Tan Du slept for a long time and dreamed about the time he lived in the Bai family.
He rested his forearm on his forehead and relaxed for a while.
The first time, he saw his smiling uncle and aunt in his dream.
"Awake?" Qiao Zhuo pushed the door open and came in.
Tan Du responded, his voice was hoarse and he barely uttered a word.
Qiao Zhuo touched his forehead and said, "It's okay, no fever. Wake up and eat something?"
Tan Du asked silently, "Did you do this?"
"Scold me?" Qiao Zhuo glared at him.
Tan Du smiled, grabbed his hand and went downstairs, refusing to let go even when eating.
He was so clingy that for several days in a row, I didn't go to the store and just waited for him to come back at the villa like a blanket.
Qiao Zhuoyi hoped that he would be well taken care of, but he was watching him too closely. There were people opposite the doors on the second and first floors. If he didn't go to Guiyi, someone would immediately tell on him.
Qiao Zhuoyi didn't want to lie, so he said directly: "I have something to go out for tomorrow, so you can eat well."
"Where are you going? I'll go with you." His throat hadn't fully recovered yet and was still hoarse.
Qiao Zhuo shoved a water cup into his hand and said sternly, "Don't push your luck. We're breaking up. Do I need to report this to you?"
Boss Tan seemed to have just remembered this. He took a few steps back aggrievedly, holding the blanket in his arms without saying a word.
"...I want to take the blanket too." Qiao Zhuo made up his mind.
Tan Weiqu let go of his hand and went upstairs in silence.
After walking up half a flight of stairs and turning the corner, you will see the entrance of the boxing gym.
The receptionist smiled before she spoke: "Hello, are you here to practice boxing? Are you a beginner or an experienced one? Would you like me to introduce you to our coaches?"
"Bai Yue." Qiao Zhuoyi said, "I'm looking for Bai Yue."
"Brother Yue?" The receptionist was a little surprised. "He doesn't accept students, and it seems he didn't come to the store today. Who are you?"
"Tell him my last name is Tan." Qiao Zhuo said without changing his expression.
"Talk? I think someone came here last time..."
"We are one family." Qiao Zhuo replied.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll contact Brother Yue."
In just ten minutes, someone rushed up and seemed a little disappointed to see Qiao Zhuoyi: "Why are you here?"
Qiao Zhuo looked at him and said, "Kick the club."
Bai Yue looked him over and asked, "Does he know you're coming?"
Qiao Zhuoyi didn't bother talking to him and said to the front desk, "Where is the locker room?"
The receptionist looked at her boss, got permission, and pointed in a direction.
Bang bang——
The boxing gloves on Qiao Zhuo's hands collided with the other, breaking the dust under the beam.
There were quite a few people around the ring——
"Hey, what's going on with Brother Yue these days? He's been challenging people one after another."
"Want to make a bet?"
"Let's bet! Come on, place your bets!"
"I bet Brother Yue will win. He didn't get the upper hand last time."
…
"What are you doing? Are you all bored?" Bai Yue pushed through the crowd. "Zhao Dun? Zhao Dun! Dunzi! Where's he?"
"Hey - brother, I'm here!"
Qiao Zhuoyi hadn't seen the man before, but the moment he heard the name, he immediately recognized him. A young man with a similar height and width ratio, who lived up to his name, squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Brother Yue, what can I do for you?"
Bai Yue jumped onto the stage and raised his arms impatiently: "Clear the place!"
"Alright—behave yourself, Brother Yue has spoken!"
The venue fell silent.
Bai Yue looked at Qiao Zhuoyi again: "Are you serious?"
Qiao Zhuoyi: "Who's playing tricks on you?"
Bai Yue's eyes turned cold and his aura changed.
When the fist came straight at him, Qiao Zhuoyi didn't dodge, but turned his head and immediately tasted the blood.
Bai Yue retreated: "What do you mean?"
"I know what you've done. Give in first and atone for your sins." Qiao Zhuo spat out a mouthful of blood foam.
Bai Yue's expression changed. After a moment of silence, he snorted, "Don't you usually give up three moves?"
Qiao Zhuo's face was grim.
This is a satire on him. If he makes three moves, can he still go back today?
"What are you here for?" Bai Yue asked again.
"I won, give me half an hour." Qiao Zhuoyi said.
"What to do?" Bai Yue asked.
"Chat." Qiao Zhuo replied.
"Nerves!" Bai Yue spat, "If you two have a habit of being punching bags, go home and play."
Qiao Zhuo stared at him: "You don't dare?"
"Bullshit!" Bai Yue got ready, "Come on!"
This person's words were even more rude than his own, and Boss Qiao instinctively retorted: "Stop bragging!"
Then I couldn't open my mouth anymore.
This bastard is so cruel.
Although he was ruthless, Bai Yue did not use his full strength.
I am afraid that if I make a mistake, the creditor will become the debtor.
Qiao Zhuoyi took advantage of this point in him and used dirty tricks on him everywhere.
There's no way he can defeat professionals with his mediocre skills.
He crammed a few games and, after comprehensive analysis, learned a move, finding the right moment to hang on the opponent's waist.
Bai Yue has encountered such situations many times. To deal with such amateurs, he just needs to use a series of "push, press and turn" techniques.
But Qiao Zhuo was a dog, repeating the same action over and over again.
Bang--
Bang--
Bang--
After a few sets, Qiao Zhuo's back was numb.
The receptionist outside the door closed her eyes and dared not look: "Damn, Brother Yue, is he going to kill me?"
"Not really, Brother Yue is holding back!"
"In ten minutes at most, this kid will definitely admit defeat."
"I don't think so. Didn't you see the look in that boy's eyes? He was so stubborn!"
The sound of heavy breathing echoed in the venue.
Qiao Zhuoyi suddenly looked behind Bai Yue: "Tan Du?"
Bai Yue turned his head subconsciously.
A strong wind comes from behind!
He turned around in a hurry, but it was too late.
Qiao Zhuoyi used the same trick again. This time, he took advantage of Bai Yue's unpreparedness and used inertia to knock him down, firmly controlling his body and limbs. No matter how Bai Yue struggled to break free, he gritted his teeth and refused to let go.
"Shit! What just happened?"
"This kid is using dirty tricks!"
"Brother Yue!"
Several people pushed open the door, and Bai Yue yelled, "Get out!"
"1, 2,...5..." Qiao Zhuo started counting down.
Bai Yue's tense body relaxed and he curled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.
“6…9, 10!”
As soon as Qiao Zhuo let go of him, he collapsed completely.
"Mad dog." Bai Yue cursed while panting.
"I, I, bit you?" Qiao Zhuo stared at the ceiling, swallowed repeatedly, and replied in a hoarse voice.
"You are violating the rules."
"I saw, I saw it wrong... No?"
"……Neuropathy."
"I won." Qiao Zhuoyi said.
"You're quite capable."
This was an admission of defeat. Qiao Zhuo pulled the corner of his mouth, closed it and regained his strength.
After a pause, he said, "You held back."
"Otherwise? To take your life?" Bai Yue said disdainfully.
"It's yours anyway." Qiao Zhuo replied.
"What do I want your life for? Tan Du has already taken it back."
"What do you mean?" Qiao Zhuo turned his head with difficulty.
"Didn't he tell you? He suddenly came to me that day and asked me to beat him up. He said I could ask for anything else, but from now on, unless my life was in danger, I would have to take care of his. He said..."
Bai Yue sat up, looked at him and said, "He said he had to accompany someone and couldn't bear to die."
Qiao Zhuo was stunned for a few seconds, his vision gradually blurred, he rubbed his eyelids with the back of his hand, and cursed softly, "Damn it."
