Chapter 78
Qi Yuyang couldn't sleep peacefully either. He frowned and the smell of disinfectant lingered on his nose for a long time. When he woke up slowly, he found himself lying in the ward.
The nurse next to him saw that he woke up, stood up and went out to find a doctor while making a phone call. After all, her boss was not the man lying in the hospital bed.
What's going on?
Qi Yuyang felt a dull pain in his head and wanted to rub it, but his hands were all inserted with needles and it would be easy to get the needles stuck if he moved, so he had to give up the idea.
Qi Yuyang kept thinking back, and he remembered everything. He was taking Lin Mian with him on the way to Haicheng. Just when he was becoming more and more relaxed, Lin Mian broke free from the rope and attacked him from behind!
Although he struggled, because of his initial contempt, he thought that Lin Mian would lose his strength after taking the medicine, so he did not have any vigilance against Lin Mian in the back row, resulting in the attack coming suddenly and fiercely. Moreover, Lin Mian was ruthless and did not underestimate the enemy, so his struggle was completely insignificant.
However... looking around at the surrounding environment, Qi Yuyang felt vaguely relieved. Although it seemed that he had failed, he did not appear in prison as soon as he opened his eyes. This was a good thing. He could still contact people outside.
The key now is that he has to find a mobile phone to make a call. Looking at the hospital gown on himself, Qi Yuyang didn't think he would have a mobile phone on him.
The woman who was next to his bed just now must have a cell phone on her, right?
If he couldn't coax her into giving it to him, then robbing her wouldn't matter. He was already on this path, so what if he had one more charge? The most important thing now was to escape, to escape abroad. He wouldn't accept any legal sanctions.
What did he do wrong? Lin Mian couldn't make the right choice, and he was helping her. She should be grateful to him.
The more Qi Yuyang thought about it, the more justified he felt. At this moment, he heard footsteps getting closer and closer.
No, these are not the footsteps of a person.
Qi Yuyang frowned. He thought to himself that it should be just that woman who called the doctor.
"You woke up early. That's good. Embrace your new life, your own special hell."
Lin Mian stood at the door with her arms folded. She didn't look at Qi Yuyang, as if he was not worthy of appearing in her eyes and would pollute her eyes.
This hurt Qi Yuyang's heart. He opened his mouth to say something, but He Xintong blocked his view of Lin Mian.
He Xintong narrowed his eyes slightly, and Qi Yuyang appeared in his eyes, but the look in his eyes that looked at him as if he was a rat that was not worthy of being on the stage and could only survive in a miserable way made Qi Yuyang sad and angry.
Why does he look at him like this!
Who the hell is he!
If this person hadn't existed, maybe he wouldn't have done such a thing today!
This person monopolizes the sun and does not allow its light to illuminate others. If he were a rat in the gutter, how good would this person be?
Lin Mian was just deceived by this man. Yes, she was kept in the dark. If she knew this man’s true face, she would definitely abandon him, right?
Why should he get what he can't get!
Qi Yuyang didn't care about the needle in his hand. He struggled to get closer to Lin Mian, but was pinned down on the bed by the two men beside her.
Looking at the two serious-faced men in front of him, who had an aura that ordinary people did not possess, Qi Yuyang realized belatedly that something was wrong.
He may not be able to escape, but at the last moment, he will not let anyone have an easy time.
"Lin Mian! Do you think the dog next to you is a good thing? Why am I so anxious? Speaking of which, this good dog who protects its owner also deserves credit! Do you know how he threatened me? I'm afraid you can't stand those words! Look carefully, Lin Mian, there are many people like me around you. You'd better not look at anyone, and don't just pay attention to this dog, otherwise people like me will be forced to stand up! It's all your fault for being tolerant of others, and it's your fault for allowing such a thing to appear around you!"
His pupils trembled violently, and He Xintong didn't even dare to look back at the expression on Lin Mian's face. What expression would she show? Disappointment, disgust, or avoidance?
He Xintong didn't expect that those secret thoughts, those hesitations caused by fear, and the possessiveness that could not be revealed in front of others would be exposed to Lin Mian so soon.
Even though he told her that he was not upright, that didn't mean he didn't want to always be positive in her eyes.
And now, Qi Yuyang has ruined everything.
Is his happiness going to be taken away from him?
"Heh," Lin Mian sneered, "People like you are really interesting. Hell is where you belong. Even prison is probably just a reward for you."
"Next time you fail, look for the reasons in yourself. It's really amazing that you can be so stupid."
Defend against him? Wouldn't that put him on the same level as Qi Yuyang? Lin Mian couldn't do the same as this kind of person.
There is no point in staying any longer. As for the accomplices mentioned by Qi Yuyang, just leave it to professionals to investigate. She doesn't need to stay here and listen to a fool's excuses.
Lin Mian grabbed He Xintong's hand and said, "Let's go back."
His hands became sticky due to nervousness, but she didn't frown at all, and didn't show any disgust. She held his hands tightly, which was more reassuring than any words or explanations.
Under Qi Yuyang's gnashing gaze, He Xintong raised the corners of his mouth.
He is indeed not upright enough and not qualified to stand beside Lin Mian, but so what?
The person Lin Mian held hands with was He Xintong, not anyone else.
After walking out of the ward, He Xintong did not continue walking. He let go of Lin Mian's hand and looked at her hand with heartache. Her five fingers were wrapped in white bandages with only the nails exposed.
Looking at the smooth nails that were rosy in color, he stroked the nails reverently, with such gentle force as if he was treating something fragile.
He Xintong lowered his head and his warm lips fell on Lin Mian's nails.
Lin Mian could feel the trembling between He Xintong's lips, as if the injured person was not Lin Mian, but him.
The warmth faded away, and he raised his head. His eye sockets under his long eyelashes had already turned red, and even the mole at the corner of his eye became touching. As the tears fell under the burden, they rolled over the tear mole and became faintly visible.
"Does it still hurt?"
His eyes, moistened by tears, were like the surface of a lake with constant waves, or like rugged mountains.
It was like a sudden short circuit, and Lin Mian was speechless for a moment.
He Xintong seemed to realize something and gently placed Lin Mian's hand on his face.
The tenderness in her eyes gently surrounded Lin Mian like a cloud. Her palm was pressed against his cheekbone, and his eyelashes trembled slightly, sweeping across her fingertips like a butterfly just spreading its wings. This action made the air thicker.
The tall bridge of his nose cast a subtle shadow on his palm, and his warm breath lingered around his wrist. Before everything got out of control, Lin Mian withdrew his hand.
"Go back and clean up first. Your clothes are all wrinkled."
He Xintong knew that Lin Mian was shy. He chuckled, his expression indescribably cunning, like a fox that had found treasure.
What Lin Mian said was true. Yesterday, He Xintong said that he would not leave no matter what and insisted on staying by her side. He watched the nurse treat her wounds and stayed by her side even after the gastric lavage. He did not sleep all night, his clothes were wrinkled, and he looked extremely disheveled.
However, what Lin Mian didn't know was that after she fell asleep last night, He Xintong stayed by her bed, his fangs constantly grinding against her lips. Even though her mouth was full of the taste of rust, he seemed not to notice it, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
He cried silently, afraid of disturbing Lin Mian, and held the quilt tightly with his hands. He actually wanted to hold Lin Mian's hand. He was really scared and wanted to hold something to prove that she was by his side.
if……
If Qi Yuyang really realized his plan, he might lose his Lin Mian and his happiness.
At that moment, He Xintong truly felt his father's pain. Why, when everyone said He Yu was dead, did He Lang still run to America, desperate to see him alive or dead? Even after years of no progress, He Lang never gave up. His health was already failing, and He Xintong wanted him to recuperate, but he refused, his obsession still with that ocean, that person.
If that day really comes and He Xintong finds out what he will do, he will only be more persistent and crazy than He Lang.
So at this moment, seeing Lin Mian's peaceful sleeping face, the dark and heavy thoughts were suppressed.
He didn't want Lin Mian to see him looking so ugly.
However, that feeling of anxiety and fear did not disappear with time, but instead became more and more intense.
He Xin did not sleep all night. From dusk till dawn, he sat motionless on the chair, staring at Lin Mian all night.
The tears on his face had long dried up, and he didn't even want to blink until he saw Lin Mian's eyelids trembling, as if he was about to wake up, then He Xintong stood up suddenly.
He couldn't let Lin Mian see him like this, it was too ugly!
After sitting for a long time, He Xintong felt dizzy when he stood up suddenly. In addition, he had not eaten for a long time and had low blood sugar.
But he still forced himself to walk to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, splashed cold water on his face, and sobered up a little.
Lin Mian woke up too quickly, and He Xintong didn't have time to tidy himself up, so he could only stay with Lin Mian in wrinkled clothes.
After starting the car and before changing gears, He Xintong looked at Lin Mian, who was sitting in the passenger seat, staring at the front with a thoughtful look on his face.
"Just leave like that?"
He Xintong didn't know who the people Lin Mian called were, but Lin Mian said that they would solve the matter.
She really has too many secrets, but as long as these secrets do not hurt Lin Mian, he will not explore them.
"Of course, Qi Yuyang will soon go to the place where he belongs and repent there."
It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t repent, because someone will make him know what it means to regret his past actions.
On the way back to North City, He Xin kept asking Lin Mian if there was anything unusual about him.
Although he had his stomach washed, He Xintong was still worried.
Why does she always have to get hurt?
He Xintong had been feeling uneasy for a long time.
It seems that God always favors geniuses, but at the same time adds too many hardships to them. It seems that attributing it to "God is jealous of talented people" has put an end to their fate.
But such a fate should not befall Lin Mian.
"Next time, I'll be faster... No, there won't be a next time, Xiao Mian. I won't let you encounter such a situation again."
He Xintong spoke without thinking, but Lin Mian understood what he wanted to say.
"I trust you."
Perhaps, before long, she would be able to tell him everything about the past, all those hidden secrets.
Lin Mian looked forward again.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there.
Everything is about to see the light of day again.
