The Evil White Nightmare (18)

Meng Siqi's eyes suddenly went dark. Lu He's fingers, tying the tie behind her ear, left her with the last bit of warmth.

She heard the sound of a chair being moved, and then Lu He gently helped her sit on the chair.

Then, Shen Xiangming put down the plate and asked in a questioning tone: "Lu He, what are you doing?"

“Bang!” Only a muffled sound was heard, which was the sound of a fist hitting flesh.

"Clang, clang..." There was the sound of plates falling to the ground and breaking.

Meng Siqi frowned. She didn't know what happened. She reached out to take off her tie, but Lu He's voice came: "Don't take it off!"

Meng Siqi really listened to his words and slowly put down her hands. She placed her hands on her knees and began to think hard about it all. She finally understood, because of Liang Ran.

"Bang!" Another sound of fist hitting flesh was heard, and the whole table suddenly broke into pieces.

Shen Xiangming seemed to have been hit, and his body crashed into the dining table, breaking it into pieces.

Even though Meng Siqi couldn't see clearly, she seemed to have the ability of "sound detection" and could still understand everything happening in front of her.

"Lu He, are you crazy? Why did you hit me?" Shen Xiangming started to curse, and there was a hissing sound. Shen Xiangming must have been hit on the cheek and mouth. With a punch like Lu He's, even if he retracted his punch, Shen Xiangming's mouth would definitely be broken and bleeding.

“Bang!” The third punch came down, this time the sound was even more muffled, probably not hitting the face.

But what followed was the loud sound of the body hitting the plastic board. The sound was so loud that the whole house shook. "Lu He, you put me in the refrigerator..." Shen Xiangming said angrily, "Do you think I dare not hit you?"

Meng Siqi shook her head. She was worried that things were getting worse, but she was not sure whether to take off her tie.

Just as she was hesitating, the two men really started fighting. The house was small, but they were all experienced men. They moved around the house in a flash, punching each other, each punch hitting the flesh.

As they fought, the furniture in the room began to break and even the windows made sounds of breaking glass.

Outside, the rain was drizzling and the battle was intense. But no matter how they fought, they seemed to avoid her. She could only hear bursts of wind whistling in her ears, but each time it seemed to be just a hair's breadth.

Finally, after a few minutes, the fight stopped, and Shen Xiangming's panting voice came: "You... are really fucking awesome! Tell me, how did I offend you, and I know how to fix it."

Meng Siqi felt that Shen Xiangming should have been pressed to the ground by Lu He, and his voice sounded as if he was lying down.

"Shen Xiangming," Lu He's voice was also slightly panting, but full of anger, "What about what you said at the beginning? You said how to treat Liang Ran, did you do it?"

"Haha..." Shen Xiangming smiled bitterly, "You know, you know what love is? You don't understand at all, what qualifications do you have to question me?"

"Okay, keep fighting."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, can fighting solve the problem?" Shen Xiangming begged for mercy, "You beat me like this, tomorrow I'll tell Lao Liu that I won't be able to deal with you."

"Then go ahead and tell me! I know you like to tell tales."

"When do I snitch?"

"From today on," Lu He's tone was as sharp as a knife, "don't mention Liang Ran in front of me anymore. You don't deserve it."

"Okay, I don't need to mention it."

"And Meng Siqi, if I see you approaching her again, I will beat you to death!"

"No," Shen Xiangming said, "Who is Meng Siqi to you? Why can't I get close to her? Is she your girlfriend? Or your wife?"

"Yes, starting from today, she is!" Lu He's tone was firm and decisive, as if it was accompanied by a huge roar.

At that moment, Meng Siqi shuddered all over, as if his heart had been hit hard by someone.

"On what basis? On what basis?" Shen Xiangming roared.

"Because of what?" Lu He sneered, "Because you have never beaten me in your life! Shen Xiangming! You were one then, and you will be one in the future!"

There was no more sound in the air, and Shen Xiangming did not respond. Only a sigh was left from him.

However, Meng Siqi suddenly felt cold sweat all over her body. She didn't know why she felt so panicked when Lu He said that.

She had never thought that one day, Lu He would express his feelings for her in this way. She felt it was very sudden. Lu He had never been like this in her eyes. Today he was like a devil released from hell. He seemed to have reached a dead end and finally could not bear it anymore and exploded with all his strength.

There was another reason why Meng Siqi was panicking. She didn't know what Lu He meant to her. In fact, she had always had a good impression of him, but she had never thought about becoming his boyfriend or girlfriend. Perhaps she felt that she was still in the rising stage of her career, and love and marriage were still very far away.

But why did she come here? She knew what these thirty years meant to her, and Lu He was the meaning of her existence in these thirty years.

She will never be able to escape this fact. Perhaps this is the only real reason why she came to this world.

Just when she was feeling upset, her wrist was held by a broad palm soaked with sweat. It was Lu He who held her, "Siqi, come with me!"

Lu He brought her up. Meng Siqi was about to take off her tie when Lu He said, "Wait a minute. Everything here is not worth seeing."

She didn't know what to say and took a tentative step forward.

"There are broken glass all over the ground." Lu He said and picked her up.

Just like before, he picked her up by the waist and held her tightly like he had twice before.

Meng Siqi's whole body felt numb and she fell into a hot embrace.

There was also his sexy and abstinent breathing, and the special smell of strong sweat and wood. This time it was slightly different, with the smell of blood.

All her senses came flooding in. If she hadn't really felt the embrace the two times he hugged her before, this time, she felt it almost as if their skin was touching, and her heart almost stopped.

With the cool breeze in the corridor, the door opened. Shen Xiangming's laughter came from inside the house: "Lu He, are you going to thank me..."

"Get out!" The door slammed shut, locking Shen Xiangming inside.

Meng Siqi heard the slow sound of footsteps walking up the stairs and felt the ups and downs of the movement of going up the stairs with one foot higher than the other.

Lu He's hot breath blew on her face, making her feel hot and dry all over, and his warm chest and arms wrapped around her, as if she was soaking in boiling water.

She was too hot, it was painful, she wanted to take off her tie, to get rid of the helplessness in the darkness, she moved her hands, swallowed, "Lu He, put me down, Lu He..."

The movement of going upstairs stopped.

Lu He didn't let her go, and Meng Siqi swallowed again, "I'm hot, really hot."

At this time, Lu He took two more steps before slowly putting her down. However, she did not stand firmly, so he held her arm again and waited until she stood firmly before slowly letting go.

Then his hot fingers touched her ear. She was startled. Lu He paused and slowly untied his tie.

The light in front of her eyes suddenly became brighter, but it was the light coming from the floor below. The light on this floor was intermittent. She shook her eyes, and Lu He's appearance was still blurry in front of her, but his breath was very hot, as if it could burn her at any time.

She didn't know what to say. Today's action was too sudden. The Lu He she had always known was not such an impulsive person. He might have been impulsive because of some grudges and even used her as a bargaining chip between him and Shen Xiangming.

Because she heard Zhao Leiting say that Shen Xiangming came to the Municipal Bureau to find a target, and the target was her. Judging from the situation at this time, Shen Xiangming was indeed abnormal, especially his behavior of pursuing Liang Ran so madly in the past, but now it seemed like he was copying her.

Lu He had a deep prejudice against Shen Xiangming because of Liang Ran's incident, so it was not surprising that he did something. Maybe he just wanted to use her to deal with Shen Xiangming.

"I'm sorry, Siqi." Lu He's magnetic and hoarse voice rang out. Meng Siqi guessed that he would say something like this. He would definitely say that today's fake play became real, and hoped that she could forgive him.

"I felt very uncomfortable just now, but I feel much better after hugging you." Lu He said.

Meng Siqi had no idea what he was talking about. She leaned back, her sweaty back pressed against the wall, trying to calm herself down.

She warned him strongly: "Lu He, don't make such jokes in the future. We are not children anymore."

"I'm not kidding!" Lu He said almost decisively.

Meng Siqi was shocked for a moment. She was speechless, but her heart felt hot. Under Lu He's fiery gaze, she lowered her eyelids slightly.

The air suddenly became extremely quiet.

"Siqi, give me half a year!" Lu He said.

Meng Siqi raised his eyes. Lu He's facial features were not obvious in the dim light. Only his eyes were faintly bright.

She didn't understand what half a year meant.

"When I solve the Hongzhuang serial murder case, I will officially pursue you!"

Hearing Lu He say this in person still surprised her. He seemed like a madman today, and he still acted like a madman when he said this.

But for some reason, she felt uneasy because this case was Lu He's dilemma.

Lu He just looked at her without saying anything, as if waiting for her answer.

Meng Siqi said: "I originally didn't think about relationships in the past six months."

“So you agreed.”

She had never expected that men always liked to dig deep into things.

"I've already said that I won't consider personal feelings for the time being."

"Okay, I know everything."

Meng Siqi raised his eyes and looked at him again, "Lu He, can you promise me one thing?"

"You say."

"Hand over the Hongzhuang serial murder case."

"Who should I give it to, Shen Xiangming?"

"The resources of the provincial department are much better than those of the municipal police. I hope you have time to solve other cases."

"no."

Meng Siqi knew that Lu He would definitely not agree. She thought about it and said with all her heart, "Lu He, do you really care about me?"

"I care!" Lu He said in a firm tone, as if he was giving this answer very seriously.

"Well, I hope you will remember what you said now in every action you take in the future...If you die, I will consider the pursuit of others. I mean what I say."

Lu He looked at her closely and did not answer immediately, but nodded slowly.

The air was silent again. Lu He remained motionless, staring at her all the time, his eyes becoming increasingly fiery.

Meng Siqi was particularly hot and irritable. Everything that happened today was too unexpected, and Lu He was too abnormal. She comforted him, "You must be tired from fighting. Go back and take a shower and sleep."

Lu He was silent for a while before saying, "You should go to bed early too."

"Um."

Lu He took two steps back. At this time, the lights on the fifth floor came on. Meng Siqi's eyes flickered for a moment. When she looked again, the man in front of her had several bright bloodstains on his face, and a bloody mass at the corner of his mouth. This delicate face was covered with bruises. She felt the pain and said hurriedly, "Does it hurt? Can't you just talk about it nicely?"

"It's okay, Siqi, have a good rest, I'm going back."

"Go back and apply some iodine."

Lu He walked down the stairs. Meng Siqi stroked her chest and calmed down for a while. When she took out the key, she found that her hands were still shaking. After opening the door, she felt her legs were weak. Today seemed like a dream, just like the past thirty years were a dream.

She lay on the bed, exhausted and sweating, still unable to believe what happened today. She didn't even know if she would keep thinking about the fact that he was going to formally pursue her in half a year when she saw Lu He next time.

But gradually, her thoughts became heavier, and she remembered the story Shen Xiangming told her.

At the end of today's talk, Shen Xiangming told a story about Lu He's childhood.

When Lu He was four years old, his father, Lao Lu, was still a worker in a steel factory. Every day, Lao Lu wore a workshop uniform and high-temperature-proof gloves while working on the top of the steel-making furnace.

This was not the first time that Xiaolu He went to the steel mill to play. That time, he sneaked into the steelmaking workshop, but was quickly caught by the workshop security guard. The security guard shouted to Lao Lu on the steelmaking furnace: "Lao Lu, look, your son is playing here again. It's too dangerous here."

At that time, Lao Lu turned around, smiled at his son who was standing next to a pile of raw materials, and waved to him to go back.

But that was the last time that Xiaolu He saw his father.

Xiao Luhe walked towards the door obediently. He played outside for a while and wanted to go see his father. He sneaked to the door of the workshop, squatted in a place, and looked at his father's busy figure from afar.

His father's figure is imprinted against the fiery red background of the steel smelting furnace. That is also what Xiaolu He is proud of. His dream when he was a child was to become a person standing at the highest point like his father.

The tall steel smelting furnace made my father's figure look extremely majestic.

However, in the next second, when Lao Lu threw the steel raw materials into the furnace, his gloves accidentally got entangled with the steel raw materials, and he was dragged into the furnace by hundreds of kilograms of raw materials.

It was a steel smelting furnace with a temperature of over a thousand degrees. Whatever it was, it turned into air in an instant.

Xiaolu Tsuru witnessed his father's death.

Later, someone found Xiao Luhe lying on the ground, trembling all over and foaming at the mouth.

Since then, Xiaolu He has suffered from autism. He used to be very smart, but now he can't speak or play, just like a lunatic.

Lu He's mother had long been disheartened by Lao Lu's death. If she hadn't had her son, she might have followed Lao Lu. Later, she began to run around for her son's illness. However, when Lu He was more than five years old, Lu He's mother eventually fell ill and unfortunately passed away.

Lu He became an orphan. Liang Chenghao, who was working at a college in Jinyang City at the time, took him away and raised him because he had met Lu He's mother.

This was Lu He’s childhood. After Meng Siqi heard it today, he felt very upset for a long time.

She told Lu He in person today that he must not die and must live on, because his life was too heartbreaking and his ending should be better. Perhaps, she came to thirty years ago just to change his ending.

But there was one thing Meng Siqi didn't understand: why Shen Xiangming told her all this. Although Shen Xiangming described his love story with Liang Ran today, it was obvious that he was not the protagonist in his story. It seemed like he was belittling himself and elevating Lu He.

He told her everything about Lu He, especially his sad childhood, as if he had already prepared to tell her.

*

Ten minutes later, Shen Xiangming's door was pushed open and Lu He threw a bottle of iodine over.

Shen Xiangming was still lying on the ground, with the iodine bottle falling right on his chest. Lu He asked, "Are you dead?"

"No, thank you for the iodine." Shen Xiangming stared at the ceiling motionlessly.

"I'm warning you, don't mess with me next time, especially on rainy days with thunder and lightning!"

"Heh..." Shen Xiangming laughed, "Are you hungry? I'll go heat up some food for you. There's some in the kitchen."

"I'll compensate you for the refrigerator." Lu He closed the door.

Shen Xiangming raised his head and looked at the closed door, then lay back on the ground, licking the salty taste of blood at the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "The refrigerator... is worth a few dollars! Meng Siqi, Lu He is the one who is valuable!"
