Chapter 161: Hardships in a Foreign Land
Chapter 162: Hardships in a Foreign Land
Sitting in front of the computer in the hospital duty room, the man looked at the face that only appeared in his dreams at midnight for a long time, and even forgot the purpose of his escape with great difficulty.
“Qingqing…Qingqing…”
The man kept mumbling, tears slowly streaming down his thin face. He tried to touch the screen with trembling hands, but was suddenly knocked away by someone behind him.
"Damn it! How did you get out? Come on, take him back!"
Several male nurses quickly stepped forward, grabbed him, and dragged him back to the ward. The man was powerless to resist and could only let these people throw him back into the cage.
During the struggle, the man's hair spread out, revealing a face that was as pale as paper but somewhat handsome.
Wen Ning looked at his own reflection in the glass, half-human and half-ghost, and closed his eyes with a wry smile. All he could think of was Fang Qing's smiling face in her bachelor's gown. Now that he had fallen to this state, how could he be worthy of such a beautiful woman? He didn't know if he would ever see her again in this life...
Looking back on his experiences over the past year, Wen Ning found them all ridiculous.
He followed his mentor to a foreign country and successfully completed the competition in less than three months. Before leaving, the local international students organized a party, but he did not expect that this trip would become a nightmare that he could not escape.
Wen Ning's limbs were fixed to the bed again. He tilted his head to look at the fallen leaves outside the window, without a trace of light in his eyes.
"Creaky", the door was opened and Liu Sisi walked in with the clatter of high heels.
"I heard that you actually escaped today, Wen Ning, you are amazing. You still dare to make trouble even in this situation..." Liu Sisi, with delicate makeup on, wore a tight low-cut dress, and carried a shiny small bag. She sat on the sofa beside her as soon as she entered the door.
After staying here for a year, she has completely adapted to the local culture. Apart from going to school to cope with classes, she spends the rest of her time either drinking in bars or having parties at home, living a life of debauchery and extravagance.
Blowing out a smoke ring, Liu Sisi looked at Wen Ning lying on the hospital bed. There was only some reluctance in her eyes, but the admiration and crazy she had in the past were no longer there.
"You are really strong. Are you sure you will agree to this?"
But no matter what Liu Sisi said, Wen Ning remained in the same position on the hospital bed. If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, Liu Sisi would have thought he was a dead man.
Gritting her teeth and stubbed out the cigarette in her hand, Liu Sisi quickly stood up and approached Wen Ning, blowing a puff of smoke into that thin face, "Humph! I'm so good to you but you don't appreciate it. Now your precious Fang Qing has hooked up with someone else. Do you think you can still be with her in your current state? Wen Ning, oh Wen Ning, you are no longer the same person you were back then! Just give up on this idea!"
Liu Sisi stood up straight, fixed her wavy hair in front of the mirror, put on some lipstick, then picked up the phone and walked out, "Hi, Darling, I'll be down right away, see you later!"
After slamming the door, Liu Sisi told the nurses in the hospital to keep a close eye on this man, and then she left with a twisted waist.
Wen Ning was left alone in the pale ward. He closed his eyes, exhaled a breath, and quietly counted his own heartbeats. His mind was filled with the scene that had just occurred.
The girl is still as pretty as ever in her black bachelor's gown and with a bright smile on her face. It seems that she is doing well. But I wonder if she has really forgotten about me and found a new love as Liu Sisi said?
Then he laughed at himself.
He didn't know if he could go back alive in this life, so how could he bear to let her wait for him? He was already a weak man now and was not worthy of her at all.
"Qingqing..." What should I do?
…
Standing in front of the printer, Fang Qing could rarely catch her breath. It had been more than a month since she graduated, and she had gradually become familiar with these complicated auxiliary tasks.
Although the company said they needed a design assistant when they were recruiting and promised to teach the new employee how to design, when she actually started working she found that her work was all about trivial matters and had nothing to do with design at all.
When she first entered the company, she was really overwhelmed for a while, and these people seemed to be deliberately ordering her around and could find her for any job. After a month of torture, she finally got used to it.
"Fang Qing, please print three copies of this document for me and send them to Mr. Liu in the office."
"Okay, okay, I'll print it right away."
"Fang Qing, have you finished the statistics I asked you to do yesterday? Give it to me quickly, I need it for the meeting!"
"Okay, Sister Liu, please wait a moment. I'll send it to you right away. It will take one minute."
"Xiao Fang, go book a private room downstairs. We are going to meet a guest tonight."
Fang Qing was sweating profusely from running, but he didn't dare to neglect it, so he could only nod his head repeatedly, "Okay, I'll go there in a moment."
…
When the company's employees slowly walked out of the office building, Fang Qing finally slumped in his chair, looking at the several documents in front of him, feeling as if his whole body was falling apart.
I returned home with the information and just fell into the bed when Tang Xiaoyu called me.
"Qingqing, you don't know how annoying those new women in our group are! I was originally the lead dancer, but they either messed up the beat or changed the moves randomly, forcing me to repeat them many times..."
After graduation, Tang Xiaoyu was selected into the provincial dance troupe because of her outstanding performance and excellent physical fitness. She was successfully promoted to a first-class actor within less than half a year after joining the team. Although she is not as famous as she was in her previous life, she already has the aura of a future dancer.
Fang Qing listened to her complaints and smiled slightly, "Great dancer, when did you start to care about these people? This is not your style."
"Besides, who cares about them? I just hate their behavior. It's as if they are the only ones in the world who have a partner. Today they show off their Qixi Festival gifts, and tomorrow they talk about how good-looking their partners are... Oh, no matter how good-looking they are, can they be as good-looking as my brother? Uh... Can they be better looking than the male dancers in our troupe... Hahaha..."
Tang Xiaoyu frowned in annoyance. Why did she mention Wen Ning again? She quickly changed the subject and talked about something else. She was relieved when she heard that Fang Qing didn't react much on the other end of the line.
Fang Qing was originally drowsy, but suddenly he heard that person's name and woke up immediately. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, it was not as bad as at the beginning.
"Xiaoyu, let's stop here for today. We have to get up early tomorrow. We can talk again when we have time."
"Okay, okay. Then take care of yourself and don't be too honest at work. Call me if you have any problems."
Listening to the beeping sound in the microphone, Fang Qing smiled bitterly, fell into the quilt and fell asleep quickly.
Early in the morning, Fang Qing was sleeping soundly after a rare rest when the phone suddenly rang.
Fang Qing turned on his phone irritably, and when he saw that it was Ah Cheng's number, he woke up immediately, "Brother Ah Cheng, what's wrong?"
"Miss Fang, the Madam and the Young Master are arguing, please come over and mediate!"
