Chapter 74 The Trend of Darkness



After hearing this, Cheng Mingyue said nothing. She had no idea how her spiritual spring water could help Lu Chen recover.

But she was very clear about one thing: it couldn't be any worse than it is now.

"I'll go in and see Lu Chen first."

As soon as Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, she rushed into the house in a hurry.

Wang Guihua shook her head and followed in to take a look.

Lu Chen was lying straight on the kang, his eyes closed, his face a little pale, his left leg fixed tightly with a splint, and a little blood seeped out of the thick white cotton cloth, but his breathing was quite steady, as if he was asleep.

The two of them finally felt relieved.

"Give him more nutritious food these days to help the wound heal faster." After Cheng Tianlai gave his instructions, he left with Wang Guihua.

Cheng Mingyue closed the gate and then went into the house to clean up.

She was so focused on Lu Chen that she didn't even notice the blood-stained cotton cloths lying on the ground.

No wonder Lu Chen’s face turned pale. How could his face not turn pale after losing so much blood?

However, compared with the amount of blood used in surgeries in later generations, this amount of blood is much less.

Cheng Mingyue thought of the rows of silver needles that Cheng Tianlai had just taken out, and wondered if they might be used to stop bleeding. She had seen this kind of acupuncture method before when watching TV dramas.

She used to think it was a fabrication, but she didn't realize that she was too short-sighted. Chinese medicine is really a treasure. If you learn it well, it is much more powerful than Western medicine.

She is now full of enthusiasm to study medicine with Cheng Tianlai, and is determined to learn well and promote traditional Chinese medicine.

After cleaning the house, Cheng Mingyue stayed quietly by Lu Chen's side. Sometimes when she saw cold sweat on his forehead, she would quickly take a towel to wipe it off for him.

While helping Lu Chen wipe the sweat off his face, Cheng Mingyue couldn't help but look at Lu Chen again, from his hair, eyebrows, nose, mouth, to his Adam's apple, chest, abdominal muscles and legs, looking at every inch carefully.

She found that her previous description of Lu Chen as a young man from a noble family with elegant appearance seemed a little inaccurate.

Lu Chen's eyebrows, figure, and skin were simply too perfect, as exquisite as a work of art. If it weren't for the injury on his leg, Cheng Mingyue wouldn't have dared to imagine how popular Lu Chen would be.

Cheng Mingyue couldn't help but wonder in her heart, when Lu Chen was in school, were there any girls who liked him?

Why have I never heard him talk about the past?

This was the first time Cheng Mingyue fell in love with someone. In just a short while, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

All the plots in Mary Sue novels went through her mind.

What Lu Chen had a childhood sweetheart, what Lu Chen would live with someone else after returning to the city, and she was just his ex-wife who he couldn't bear to look back on...

Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw Cheng Mingyue sitting next to him, looking at him with a look of horror and sweat on her forehead.

Lu Chen thought that his appearance had frightened Cheng Mingyue, so he quickly coaxed her softly, "I'm fine, don't worry, it was just Uncle Qi who gave me some anesthetic..."

Hearing Lu Chen's voice, Cheng Mingyue woke up from her wild thoughts. She wanted to punch herself twice. It was nothing, but she ended up scaring herself half to death.

Besides, even if Lu Chen lives with someone else, so what? She should still live a wonderful life. This is the attitude of women in later generations towards love. What she is doing now is really a disgrace to them.

Thinking of this, Cheng Mingyue smiled and asked, "How do you feel now? Does your leg hurt a lot?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"What nonsense! I'm sweating profusely. How could it not hurt?"

"Really, it doesn't matter if it hurts a little. As long as my leg can be healed, I can endure any pain."

Cheng Mingyue felt very uncomfortable. Lu Chen did nothing wrong, but he had to endure the pain again and again.

But they can't say anything, dare not complain, dare not be angry, even if they feel wronged, they have to swallow it all by themselves.

Cheng Mingyue remembered that Lu Chen had said before that he knew who had broken his leg, and couldn't help asking: "Lu Chen, who broke your leg?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then his face, which had been as gentle as jade, suddenly became gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's my good cousin."

"Your cousin? Why would he do this? Didn't he already sever ties with her by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper?" Cheng Mingyue looked confused.

There is very little description about Lu Chen's cousin in the book. It seems that he finally became rich with Qin Lang and became a well-known boss on the rich list. However, Cheng Mingyue knows nothing about other things.

He had no idea that Lu Chen's leg was actually related to him.

"He's jealous of me. He's been jealous of me since he was a kid. Now that he has the chance, he's going to beat me to death. But it doesn't matter. I can play with him slowly."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he laughed sinisterly a few times.

Cheng Mingyue got goose bumps on her arms when she heard his laughter.

what to do?

It seems like Lu Chen is turning evil!

Cheng Mingyue quickly changed the subject: "Lu Chen, are we really going to the county tomorrow?"

Lu Chen regained his previous expression and looked at Cheng Mingyue very gently: "Well, don't worry, I have arranged it. Someone will come to pick us up tomorrow morning."

"Will you come to our house to pick me up?"

"Yes, we should have arrived earlier. We should go to bed early and go to the county early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, good night." Cheng Mingyue was about to slip into the space after she said that, but was grabbed by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen blinked his big eyes and looked at Cheng Mingyue pitifully, his voice lowered, "Mingyue, my legs hurt so much, can you sleep outside with me tonight?"

"..." Cheng Mingyue refused in her heart, but looking at Lu Chen's handsome face, she couldn't say no, so she had to lie down on the other side.

Lu Chen rubbed his fingers, trying to suppress the uneasiness in his heart: "Mingyue, can you tell me about your childhood?"

He really wanted to know everything about her.

"When I was a kid?" Cheng Mingyue hesitated for a moment, then stood up, turned off the lights, and lay down again before speaking with a smile:

"I'm an orphan. I don't even know who my parents are. I've been staying in an orphanage ever since I can remember..."

Cheng Mingyue talked about her mother, the headmaster of the orphanage, and the friends she used to play with, and the fun things that happened at school, and the thrill of the apocalypse.

Her voice was sweet, but the story she told was filled with deep sadness. Lu Chen no longer cared about the injury on his leg. He rolled over to Cheng Mingyue, hugged her tightly, and said with heartache:

"Mingyue, don't be sad. I will always be with you and protect you. No one can hurt you again."

"I used to feel so pitiful, having no parents. Seeing others having warm families, I envied them and didn't dare to give my heart away easily.

But now when I think about those past experiences, it doesn’t seem as sad as I imagined.”

Cheng Mingyue hugged Lu Chen back, buried her head in his chest, and said with a chuckle.
