"So what if I'm scared? I'm a girl who has never seen the world and was born and raised in a village. It's my first time seeing a drug addiction attack. What's wrong with me being scared? Shouldn't I be scared?" Gu Qingtong suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Chong's arm. This time she held it very tightly and didn't let Qin Chong shake it off. She stared at Qin Chong and said fiercely, "You were banging your head against the wall and trembling. There was no place on your body that could rest. And you couldn't even say a complete sentence. It was the middle of the night and I saw you looking like a ghost. Shouldn't I be scared?"
"If you are afraid, then let me go." Qin Chong said in a deep voice. As he said this, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was suppressing something. His Adam's apple slid up and down violently.
Gu Qingtong thought he had something else to say, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't speak again. Gu Qingtong looked at his Adam's apple sliding up and down, and somehow she felt that this man was really pitiful, and the slight fear in her heart gradually disappeared as the Adam's apple moved up and down.
"I won't let you go," Gu Qingtong forcibly pulled Qin Chong to sit down, looking at his pale and haggard face. When he spoke again, his voice was filled with a sigh, "Didn't we agree that after your injury heals, you'll follow me to the pharmacy to work as an errand boy? I've already made an agreement with the shopkeeper. If I let you go now, where can I find someone to take your place?"
Qin Chong turned his head to look at Gu Qingtong. Perhaps because of the ordeal last night, Gu Qingtong looked a little haggard, with faint dark circles under his eyes. As soon as their eyes met, Qin Chong hurriedly looked away. He swallowed hard, trying to swallow back the bitterness and grievance in his heart, trying not to look so cowardly.
"I will be a burden to you." After a while, Qin Chong lowered his head and whispered.
"You just realized that you are a burden?" Gu Qingtong suddenly laughed, stretched and yawned, and continued, "Since I picked you up, I haven't had a single day of peace. I sneak in and out every day. After I come back, I have to change your medicine and take care of your daily life. In the past, I could visit my wife from time to time, but now I can't go anywhere. You are really a burden."
"Then why don't you let me go?" Qin Chong gritted his teeth and said with some difficulty. He felt that he was extremely humble. Even though he knew that he was destined to be a burden in this life, he was still reluctant to leave here. He felt that he was just a homeless stray dog. He had been wandering outside for so many years and was bullied and abused. Now someone was finally willing to take him in and let him live a stable and good life. He really didn't want to leave. Although he was stubborn, he was really scared and terrified. He was afraid that Gu Qingtong would drive him out of the house again and let him live the life of a stray dog again.
"You've been eating and drinking for so long, and I haven't gotten what I want from you yet, so why would I let you go? I'm not stupid! Haha..." Gu Qingtong laughed, but she stopped laughing. Looking at Qin Chong's solemn face, she gradually stopped laughing. She lowered her head, pursed her lips, and then whispered, "I'm afraid you won't live long after you leave this door."
Qin Chong curled his lips and smiled bitterly: "So you plan to save people to the end, and see them off to the end?"
"Qin Chong, I don't know what you've been through, but God arranged for me to meet you, so I can't just leave it alone," Gu Qingtong said seriously, word by word. She looked at Qin Chong's frighteningly thin face, and her voice was soft. "Qin Chong, God gave you a chance, and also gave me a chance. Let's both seize this opportunity, okay?"
