Chapter 169 I'll Accompany You Towards the Abyss
He reached for his phone, pressed a command, and the curtains slowly closed.
He was fast asleep, his phone kept ringing, and Shi Nianzhi stretched out her fair wrist, which still bore fingerprints.
"Did you drive Lu Jiunian crazy?"
Su Hengyi's cool voice entered his ears, which made Shi Nianzhi more awake, and he sat up from the bed.
A slightly sleepy voice asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's 2 o'clock there."
"night?"
"afternoon."
Shi Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and turned on the floor lamp by the bed. "How did he go crazy?"
"Search for Gu's press conference; it's being broadcast live."
Shi Nianzhi picked up the tablet from the bedside table, and while searching, she joked, "My brother is far away in L country, but he's still keeping an eye on things for me. If you keep spoiling me like this, I'll become lazy."
There was a moment of silence on Su Hengyi's end before he said, "He... told me to protect you from being bullied by Lu Jiunian."
Shi Nianzhi's fair and slender fingertips paused slightly.
Recalling the moments she spent with Mu Guangcheng, Shi Nianzhi lowered her eyes, her heart aching. "I never asked before who hurt you, and what happened back then?"
what happened......
Sitting in his study, Su Hengyi's eyes flashed through several images. As if in a panic, he reached out and opened the cabinet to take out the cigarette case and lighter inside.
But just as he grasped her hand, he abruptly let go.
Because it's in my memory.
He and Mu Guangcheng had a fight, and Mu Guangcheng leaned against the dormitory stairwell and smoked unhappily.
Su Hengyi disliked Mu Guangcheng's smoking, but he never forced Mu Guangcheng to change anything for him. He hoped that even if Mu Guangcheng was with him, he would not feel pressured and could live a carefree life.
In this way, perhaps Mu Guangcheng will stay with him longer and won't dislike him so quickly.
But this argument really upset Su Hengyi.
Mu Guangcheng said nothing, just kept smoking, looking exactly like a degenerate teenager. Just how many cigarettes did he smoke to be such a heavy smoker even in his youth?
If you're happy, why would you smoke so much and feel so melancholy?
As soon as Su Heng approached Mu Guangcheng, Mu Guangcheng looked up and stared at him coldly.
He reached out, grasped Mu Guangcheng's wrist, and brought the cigarette butt to his lips.
Mu Guangcheng suddenly reached out and covered Su Hengyi's lips. He forcefully pulled his hand back, then threw the cigarette on the ground and stomped it out.
He looked at Su Hengyi with a mischievous grin, "A good student like you can't smoke, it'll disappoint your parents. Only someone like me smokes cigarettes."
Su Heng removed Mu Guangcheng's hand, walked forward, grabbed Mu Guangcheng's hand, and pressed it against the dirty wall at the stairwell that was covered in footprints.
How are you?
"For a long time, I felt like I was superfluous in this world."
"Not superfluous."
Su Heng lowered his head and leaned closer.
After the kiss, both of them were panting and pressed close together. Mu Guangcheng whispered, "I'm heartbroken right now. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to kiss me right away?"
"I'm having a craving for cigarettes."
"I offended you..."
Mu Guangcheng probably felt it was inappropriate to insult Su Hengyi's mother, so he deliberately turned around and said, "What the hell! You don't even smoke, so where did you get the addiction from!"
"You are my addiction."
Mu Guangcheng: "..."
It's such a lame love line, but when Su Heng says it, it makes your adrenaline surge.
Mu Guangcheng pursed his lips. "Su Hengyi, you are so outstanding that you are perfect, like a clear and cold moon in the sky, something that is desirable but unattainable. Someone like you is not suitable to hang out with someone like me who is stuck in this quagmire, and you are even less suitable to smoke."
"My family collects recyclables."
"......"
“I’m not that unattainable. You can drag me into your quagmire, but if you don’t want to, I can walk into it myself.”
Su Heng reached into Mu Guangcheng's pocket.
Before Mu Guangcheng could stop him, the cigarette was already at his fingertips. He lowered his head, bit the cigarette, and was about to light it.
"You're insane!"
Mu Guangcheng snatched the cigarette from Su Heng's mouth, grabbed the cigarette pack, threw it on the ground, and then stomped on it.
He scolded Su Hengyi, "Your parents collect recyclables to support your education. They work so hard and it's so difficult for them, just so you can follow me and become bad like this? Don't you have any ambition?!"
Su Heng stared at Mu Guangcheng with a stubborn look.
Seeing this, Mu Guangcheng relented, "Remember, I don't like you smoking, and I hate the smell of smoke on you, okay?"
This time, Su Hengyi agreed readily, "Okay."
Mu Guangcheng squatted down again, picked up the crushed cigarette pack with his hand, shook it open and looked at the cigarettes inside. "Ten yuan a pack, barely enough to smoke."
"I'll compensate you."
"Forget it, how many bottles would you have to collect to make that much money, and none of them are broken. Let's go back. If we leave Shi Nianzhi alone in the dorm, Gu Yuanyuan will bully her."
Su Hengyi felt he shouldn't flaunt his wealth, fearing it would create distance between him and Mu Guangcheng, so he nodded, "Okay."
It's ten yuan, after all, a huge sum of money.
The scene changes.
It was a dimly lit, abandoned factory, filled with dirty water, moss, weeds, cobwebs, and messy graffiti, making the place look grotesque and terrifying.
The air was filled with a strong musty smell. Mu Guangcheng was thrown on the ground, his hands and feet tied.
Su Heng's head was throbbing with pain. The last thing he saw in his mind was the car accident that had happened not long ago.
The truck went out of control and drove against traffic, crashing into them as they were driving normally. After a dizzying, throbbing headache, they woke up here.
"Mu Guangcheng".
Su Hengyi's hands and feet were also bound. He struggled to get up and moved little by little to Mu Guangcheng's side.
Mu Guangcheng didn't react at all. Su Heng pressed his face against Mu Guangcheng's cheek. Fortunately, he was still breathing and his body temperature was normal.
Su Heng glanced at Mu Guangcheng and saw no serious injuries, except for some minor scratches on his arm. He breathed a sigh of relief.
He sat next to him and waited for a long time before Mu Guangcheng woke up.
He opened his eyes; it was already evening. A wildflower was growing on the abandoned tin window, blooming beautifully and swaying in the breeze in the sunset.
Outside the tin window was a forest overgrown with weeds, making it seem both beautiful and dangerous.
Mu Guangcheng hadn't reacted yet.
Su Hengyi's calm voice said, "This is an abandoned furniture factory. We've been kidnapped. I'm not sure who we've offended."
Su Hengyi was unsure which side his enemy belonged to—the Su family or Mu Guangcheng's side.
Mu Guangcheng struggled to sit up. "I haven't offended anyone. It's just that my existence has affected what some people call their profit chain."
Sometimes, Mu Guangcheng is so clear-headed.
