Chapter 12: Late Return 12
Xu Ning's words were full of thorns, recalling her childhood. When she found that something was wrong between her and Lin Xu, she warned her.
This happened more than once.
"It's all because of you that everything got messed up!" Xu Ning said sharply and scolded loudly.
"I can't reach your brother on the phone right now. Is he with you?"
Fu Yin: “No.”
"I don't want to hear it. Call him back quickly. Everyone is waiting for him."
Xu Ning couldn't bring herself to lose face. It was she who proposed today's party, but Lin Xu was nowhere to be seen.
If he doesn't come back tonight, it will definitely leave a bad impression on the Wen family.
The phone was hung up hastily.
Fu Yin couldn't help but clench his hand holding the phone. Why didn't Lin Xu go back?
Her eyelashes drooped, and her fingertips slid across the screen. After finding the chat box with Lin Xu, she immediately clicked on it.
Thinking of Xu Ning's words, Fu Yin felt inexplicably irritated. After hesitating for a while, he finally typed a string of words in the input box.
After the message was sent, Fu Yin threw the phone aside.
Fu Yin didn't receive a reply until midnight.
There was no news from Jiang Qian either, saying that Lin Xu had not responded yet.
Fu Yin's heart suddenly hung in the air. He felt that something was wrong and called Lin Xu directly.
The phone kept ringing, but no one answered.
Fu Yin was completely anxious and asked Jiang Qian for Xu Nianbai's number and called again.
The phone was connected, and the man's lazy tone came: "Hello, who is it?"
"It's me, Fu Yin."
"It's you. Why are you calling me?" Xu Nianbai sat up from the sofa, frowning slightly.
Fu Yin pursed his lips slightly, paused for a few seconds, and then asked, "Has Lin Xu looked for you?"
"Or do you know where Lin Xu is now? I can't contact him."
"Didn't he come to find you?"
Xu Nianbai was also confused when he heard Fu Yin ask this.
A few days ago, he was still asking Lin Xu what he bought the plane ticket for, but the next second he had already landed in Lin City.
Only Lin Xu is so love-brained that he insists on meeting Fu Yin even though the matter can be resolved with just a phone call.
Since that was the case, he didn't dare to take that step bravely at the beginning. Sometimes he really didn't know what Lin Xu was thinking.
If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. Why make things so complicated?
"He did come to see me, but he went back yesterday."
"It's just that his mother called me just now and said that he hasn't come back yet." Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Fu Yin's clenched palms, and his face lost its color.
"I only know where he often goes. I'll go look for him and tell you if I have any news."
"But...if you can't contact him, I certainly can't."
Xu Nianbai's tone became serious and he hung up the phone.
Fu Yin's fingers were weak and the phone slipped and fell on the sofa. She sat down mechanically, lowered her head, holding the phone and still trying to contact Lin Xu.
But no matter how many messages I sent or how many calls I made, there was no news at all.
Silence, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Fu Yin suddenly stood up, took a few quick steps to the door and opened it. He was expecting Lin Xu to appear, but what caught his eyes was Xu Muzhou.
"It's you." A hint of disappointment flashed across Fu Yin's eyes, and he turned around with a calm tone.
Xu Muzhou frowned, clenched his fists and stood outside the door without going in.
He lowered his head slightly, his face full of guilt.
He should have told Fu Yin that Lin Xu was there yesterday, and he stayed until dawn and saw her wake up before leaving.
Unexpectedly, such selfishness would harm Lin Xu.
If Lin Xu disappeared, Fu Yin would no longer have a smile on his face.
"Sister Fu Yin, I have something to tell you. Actually, I should have said it this morning."
Xu Muzhou thought for a long time before finally speaking out loud.
Fu Yin turned around and fixed his eyes on him, only to find that Xu Muzhou's face looked very ugly.
He was sweating and panting, obviously having run here.
Fu Yin: "What?"
"Actually, Lin Xu was here. He stayed outside the ward all night."
"I beat him that night."
Xu Muzhou clenched his fists and his voice was trembling.
In fact, he was just afraid that Fu Yin would blame him.
But he will also take responsibility for his own actions. He is not an irresponsible person.
He just didn't want Fu Yin to be sad because of a man like that again. If Lin Xu really cared about Fu Yin, he shouldn't appear in her life.
"I also warned him not to appear in your world, but I didn't expect him to disappear."
"I started worrying about you when my brother told me."
Xu Muzhou's words made Fu Yin a little dazed, so it wasn't that he didn't care, he was just hiding and didn't dare to see her, right?
Fu Yin smiled bitterly, and a tear instantly fell from the corner of his eye.
I don’t know whether I should be happy or not.
"Do you know where he went?" Fu Yin subconsciously grabbed Xu Muzhou's arm and asked anxiously.
Xu Muzhou was stunned for a few seconds, then shook his head: "I don't know either."
Fu Yin's eyes turned red and he became even more anxious: "Let's split up and look for him. Start looking nearby and see if he went to the airport to return to Beijing."
She patted Xu Muzhou's shoulder and said, took a coat from the room and covered herself with it. When she left the hotel, she did not forget to remind Xu Muzhou to contact her at any time.
After leaving the hotel, Fu Yin took a taxi and planned to walk around the area to see if he could find Lin Xu.
An hour passed and Fu Yin had searched almost every possible place around here, so he had no choice but to ask the driver to turn around and go to the airport.
When they arrived at the airport, they found a long queue outside the door. Fu Yin was a little anxious, but after communicating with the staff, he was allowed in to find someone.
As a result, he circled the airport several times but didn't see Lin Xu in the crowd. After several hours of tossing and turning, Fu Yin was on the verge of collapse.
She used her cell phone to contact Xu Muzhou and Xu Nianbai, but there was still no news from Lin Xu.
Her eyes were red and she was exhausted as she squatted down beside the pillar. She held on to the pillar to support her body, took out some candy from her bag and put it in her mouth for a while before she felt better.
When Fu Yin lowered his head and used his mobile phone to send a message to Lin Xu, he received a call from an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, are you Mr. Lin's family member?"
The moment I picked up the phone, a gentle female voice came from the other end, but the sound of the hospital broadcast was heard in the background.
Fu Yinxin's heart instantly fell to the bottom.
Something happened to Lin Xu?
"I am I am! What happened to him?"
"He was attacked and is now in the hospital. Please come to the First Hospital."
"Okay, I'll be right there!"
There was a busy tone on the phone, and Fu Yin couldn't help but shed tears, with the words the nurse had just said still echoing in her ears.
Fu Yin felt her legs go weak when she rushed out of the airport, but she did not stop even though she had no feeling.
After running out of the airport gate, Fu Yin hurriedly stopped a car on the side of the road, his heart already in a mess.
After getting in the car, she nervously urged the driver to go faster while ensuring safety.
She prayed silently for Lin Xu in her heart, and various scenes of her being with Lin Xu kept flashing back in her mind.
If they had not met at the Lin family, would the outcome have been different?
In her first year of high school, she had just turned sixteen and was at the age of falling in love. Everyone in the class was discussing what their ideal partner would be like, and at that time she already had the answer in her heart.
It is said that first love is unforgettable. If secret love is counted, her feelings for Lin Xu are a secret that cannot be told.
During the first two years after entering the Lin family, she was very well-behaved and played the role of a good daughter and a good sister, but Lin Xu still discovered her dark side.
In fact, she was not that well-behaved. She would climb over the wall to secretly go out to buy things, hide the things that were seriously inappropriate for her family, and even skipped classes. After being caught, it was Lin Xu who cleaned up the mess for her.
Later, she was targeted by some gangsters. Lin Xu, such a gentle person, got very angry that day and even fought with them for her.
After returning, Xu Ning was very angry and beat her without saying a word. In the end, it was Lin Xu who protected her.
She always remembered what Lin Xu said.
"As long as Yinyin is still my sister, I will continue to protect her."
He has always done this.
But she found that her feelings for Lin Xu went beyond those of a brother and sister, and she began to stop viewing him as a brother.
In front of others, she called him brother obediently, and behind others' backs, she treated him as someone she liked and called him by his name.
Lin Xu was always like that and never got angry with her.
On her birthday, she drank a little and finally mustered up the courage to ask him if he had any special feelings for her. He said firmly no.
It’s still the same sentence, she is his sister, and will be for the rest of her life.
She doesn't want it.
The Lin family didn't treat her as a daughter, and she didn't treat him as a brother.
The car was driving very fast, and a light rain was hitting the window outside, as if her feelings over the years were gradually being responded to.
Fu Yin looked out the car window with a heavy heart. He closed his eyes and prayed again that Lin Xu would be safe and sound.
She is willing to exchange everything for it, even if they will never have a result in this life.
An hour later, Lin City First Hospital.
Fu Yin got out of the taxi in a hurry and ran into the hospital without even taking shelter from the rain.
There was a roaring in her ears and the noise in the hospital, but she couldn't hear clearly and her vision was blurry.
She was confused and didn't know how she ran to the front desk. She asked with empty eyes, "Lin Xu, Lin Xu! How is the emergency patient who was just sent here now?"
"It was an attack by gangsters. He bravely tried to help but was stabbed twice. He is still in the emergency room. Please pay the bill first."
The nurse briefly explained the situation, handed her a list, and calmed her down.
Fu Yin was still crying, her eyes blurred with tears. She gritted her teeth, paid the bill, and staggered to the door of the emergency room.
The hospital clock was ticking, and each tick struck her heart so hard that she couldn't breathe.
Why……
Why is he always like this?
Always thinking about others but never thinking about yourself?
It was the same back then.
For people like her.
For the past five years, she has only felt resentment but also heartache.
Lin Xu deserves the best of everything.
A few hours later, the door of the emergency room finally opened.
Hearing the voice, Fu Yin quickly stood up, took a few quick steps forward, grabbed the doctor's arm, and cried, "How is he? How is he?"
"The patient's condition is basically stable, but he still needs to be observed for 24 hours before he is truly out of danger."
"The two stab wounds were not deep, but one of them missed his heart by one centimeter and nearly killed him."
Fu Yin took a breath and almost fell down after hearing this.
"Thank you, thank you..." Fu Yin's voice became weaker and weaker, and he suddenly choked up until he could no longer make a sound.
Her legs went weak instantly, her vision went dark, and she fell to the ground. The nurse next to her quickly helped her to the bench nearby to rest.
——
After waking up, Fu Yin stood outside the ICU door waiting.
She stood there all night without moving a step.
Xu Ning and Lin's father flew directly from Beijing when they heard the news.
Wen Shuyan also came along.
As soon as he arrived at the hospital, Xu Ning saw Fu Yin standing outside the ICU door with a gloomy expression.
She grabbed Fu Yin's arm and pulled her in front of her.
Fu Yin's body felt light, and there was no warmth on his face when he turned to face Xu Ning.
With a crisp sound, Xu Ning trembled and vented all his anger on Fu Yin.
Seeing this, Lin's father hurried forward and grabbed Xu Ning: "What are you doing? Why are you hitting the child?"
"Why is she standing here safe and sound? Every time, Xu disobeyed us because of her?"
Wen Shuyan was stunned. She subconsciously caught Fu Yin's shaky body and gently stroked her cheek: "Are you okay?"
"Lin Yin, did I tell you to keep your distance from Ah Xu?"
"How much do you want to hurt him to satisfy me?"
"I've already lost a child!"
Xu Ning screamed like crazy, and Lin's father immediately hugged her and patted her back, his eyes instantly turning red.
