Chapter 76
When Cheng Xiangheng fell down, his men finally arrived. He Li's men were quickly controlled and the police also rushed here.
When Ping An followed Cheng Xiangheng into the ambulance, she was thinking that if Cheng Xiangheng died because of her, she would have no idea how to live on!
Cheng Xiangheng lost too much blood and was taken straight to the ICU. Ping An, covered in blood, was praying outside.
In the past, she prayed to the gods constantly so that she could get rid of Ma Mei. Now, she prayed to the gods devoutly for the person she loved.
As long as she can save her lover, she is willing to pay any price, even her life.
Cheng Xiangheng was transferred to the general ward three days later. Ping An stayed in his ward and was unwilling to leave.
Cheng Xiangheng woke up on the second day after being transferred to the general ward. The first thing he did after opening his eyes was to look for Ping An.
Ping An held his hand and whispered, "I'm here, don't be afraid, I'm fine."
Cheng Xiangheng forced a smile and said, "I know you're very powerful when you throw bricks."
Ping An was amused by him and wanted to laugh, but tears came out before the smile. She lay in his neck like a kitten seeking comfort.
The doctor left after the examination and considerately closed the door.
Cheng Xiangheng raised his hand and gently rubbed her head, just like he did in the past: "It's okay, An An, it's okay."
Ping An cried heartily, then lay down next to Cheng Xiangheng and had the best sleep she had in a while.
So is Cheng Xiangheng.
When Ping'an woke up, Cheng Xiangheng was still sleeping. Excessive blood loss made his body extremely tired.
She slowly looked at Cheng Xiangheng's eyebrows and eyes.
When he was asleep, he didn't look as sharp and arrogant as when he was awake, and he looked a little obedient.
He has high brow bones and a high nose bridge, thin lips, a clear jawline, and a very ruthless face.
But Ping'an felt very safe. She nestled in Cheng Xiangheng's arms. No matter whether they were lying on a hospital bed or anywhere else, as long as Cheng Xiangheng was there, that was her home.
Perhaps, this kidnapping not only allowed her to see clearly Cheng Xiangheng's heart, but also her own heart.
She loves Cheng Xiangheng.
Cheng Xiangheng is actually a person who is not good at expressing love. The distorted family view he had in his youth made him good at dealing with everything in the most cruel and secretive way. Even when he watched the corpse dumping scene under the instruction of Cheng Yeming, he remained calm. He can call the shots in the business world and even in the political circles, and he is omnipotent, but he doesn't know how to get along with Ping An.
He foolishly thought that Ping An liked someone like Wen Zhi, so he had to study hard and acted stupid and pitiful in front of Ping An in an attempt to win Ping An's love.
In fact, this is not what Ping An likes. She likes Cheng Xiangheng as a person, but she is a little timid and dares not express her love at all. She also does not believe that Cheng Xiangheng will love her for the rest of her life. After all, the gap between their identities is so big, and he has abandoned her once, and his method of pursuing her is so perverted.
Cheng Xiangheng's love couldn't be expressed verbally, so it needed to be "visible." For example, when Ping An had a fever, it was Cheng Xiangheng who carried her to the hospital. When she got her first period, it was Cheng Xiangheng who made her brown sugar water. He cooked for her, washed her clothes, paid her tuition, gave her five yuan a day in pocket money, stood up for her when she was bullied, and spoiled her like a normal high school girl. These were all things Cheng Xiangheng did for Ping An.
The one-cent fees for materials and books, as well as the clothes Ping An wore and the most expensive sanitary napkins among all the girls during her menstruation, were all earned by Cheng Xiangheng who worked hard from morning till night; they did not come out of thin air.
When she was a child, Cheng Xiangheng never mentioned how hard it was to make money. He always told her to study hard and not worry about money. But as an adult, Ping An felt that making money was indeed hard work. These details of "love" need to be seen, and Ping An, a sensitive person with low self-esteem, is best at "seeing."
Sometimes she might be slow to react for a moment because of tears, but once Cheng Xiangheng wiped her tears, she would see clearly. She would see that Cheng Xiangheng would come back to accompany her to sleep no matter how busy he was because she couldn't sleep, that Cheng Xiangheng would help her eat healthily because she was not in good health, that Cheng Xiangheng would take off his coat to keep her warm, and that when facing danger, his first reaction was to protect her first.
His love was firm and passionate, Ping An was a timid fool, but she finally saw it one day.
So, Ping An held Cheng Xiangheng's face and whispered, "Heng, I miss you."
These were the words she kept in her heart when they met for the first time after eight years.
Cheng Xiangheng slowly opened his eyes. There was no trace of sleep in his eyes. Seeing the tears on Ping An's face, he kissed her gently: "I am such a failure. It seems that I have made you cry many times."
Ping An rested his forehead against Cheng Xiangheng's and whispered, "Heng, it must have been very hard these years."
Isn't it hard? An eighteen-year-old boy spent eight years conquering all the way from North America, and came back just to have an ordinary peace.
You must have suffered a lot along the way, and shed a lot of blood and tears. When you suffered a blow, you probably couldn't find anyone to talk to. It must have been really hard.
How could Ah Heng ever feel safe? He couldn't trust anyone, so he had to lick his wounds alone, learn his lesson, and realize that his food was only safe if it was eaten.
He has such a strong desire to control because he feels insecure.
Ping An hugged Cheng Xiangheng's neck, and Cheng Xiangheng leaned on her shoulder naturally.
"It's not hard at all, sister. As long as I think of you, I don't feel it's hard at all."
Cheng Xiangheng understood Ping An's meaning, and his tears began to flow. He was happy that he was finally forgiven, but he couldn't help but feel distressed that Ping An was soft on him: "I love you, Ping An, I love you so much that I can die for you."
Forget it, Ping An thought, stop insisting on those unnecessary things and just agree to Cheng Xiangheng. She should have responded to Cheng Xiangheng's feelings long ago.
After eight years of blank time, she should have understood her own feelings long ago.
She loved Cheng Xiangheng so much that she couldn't live without him.
Fortunately, Cheng Xiangheng also loves her. Cheng Xiangheng loves a weak and self-deprecating coward, and insists on loving her all the time, giving her a love that is as passionate and firm as a blooming flower. Only then can Ping An, who is like a turtle, slowly come out of her shell and slowly respond to him.
During this period, whenever Cheng Xiangheng showed a little impatience, Ping An would immediately step back, but Cheng Xiangheng did not. She felt his warm and full love, and finally reached out and hugged Cheng Xiangheng back.
Ping An said, "I love you too."
I love you when you were young, I love you now, and I will love you in the future. I love you until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, until the mountains collapse, and I love you so much that I hope to be tied to you for all eternity, never to be separated.
Outside the window, the sky was bright, the sun was rising, and the ice and snow were melting.
Cheng Xiangheng was so happy that he felt dizzy. He trembled and shed happy tears: "Even a coward would be brave enough to love me very much and not lie to me?"
Ping An gently patted Cheng Xiangheng's back: "I will always love you and will never lie to you, but you have to go somewhere with me after your injury is healed."
"I'll be with you wherever you go."
"We're going to go to Bai Sui's grave and look at it. You have to apologize, and I want to apologize too."
Cheng Xiangheng's tears flowed even more, and he choked and said, "Okay."
"I also have to apologize to Wen Zhi."
"No, I didn't break Wen Zhi's leg. I don't want to apologize." Pain and grievance floated in Cheng Xiangheng's eyes. "He ran to our house on his own, said a lot of nonsense to you, got drunk and got robbed by gangsters and broke his leg. This has nothing to do with me."
At this point, facing Ping An's surprised look, Cheng Xiangheng's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I was jealous that you kept him in your heart, and sad that you always thought badly of me, so I told a lie."
At this moment, the awkwardness and pain in Ping An's heart finally disappeared completely.
Ping An smiled and kissed Cheng Xiangheng on the lips.
Zhou Ping'an's life was really unremarkable. She had a neglected and left-to-fend-for-herself childhood, a tender and loving middle and high school life, and the following eight years of muddle-headed life. She felt like she had been floating like duckweed, with burning pain burning in her chest, not allowing her to rest for a moment.
Her soul had been wandering for many years, and after meeting Cheng Xiangheng, it finally came to her at this moment——
Fallen leaves return to their roots.
