Pei Tian just reached the fifth floor and saw Jiang Suchu falling backward. It was too late for him to pounce, and he didn't even catch her hand. He only saw Jiang Suchu falling rapidly.
"Sui Sui!" Pei Tian was lying on the ground with bulging veins on his forehead.
Then the voice of his subordinates came from the earphones: "Bureau Pei, it was not our people who fired the shot."
Pei Tian was suddenly alert. When he looked up, he saw a gun pointing at him from the building opposite. Then a gunshot rang out, Pei Tian reacted quickly and turned over on the spot, and the bullet was shot right where he was lying.
Pei Tian pressed the earphone: "The building opposite, there are snipers in the southwest."
He glanced at Lu Zhinian, who was lying in a pool of blood, and ran over without hesitation and dragged Lu Zhinian to a hiding place: "A-Nian! A-Nian!"
Lu Zhinian's face lost all color, and the blood on his chest had dried to black, staining his clothes.
That day, the dilapidated community was in chaos.
The sound of gunshots, sirens, ambulances, and heart-wrenching cries filled the sky.
In the chaotic hospital, the floor at the door of the operating room was covered with bright red blood. Shu Yuan fell down on the bench. She breathed hard and gasped, one after another, but she could only make a sharp breath.
It felt like ten thousand silver needles had been inserted into her throat, and it hurt every time she took a breath.
She couldn't believe that she had just sent Anian and Sibao into that cold door with her own hands.
"Ah...ah..." Shu Yuan beat her chest with her fists again and again, whimpering in pain.
Lu Shenghua was on a business trip in a neighboring city today, and rushed back without stopping after receiving the news from Pei Tian. After arriving at the hospital, he almost stopped standing for a moment when he saw his wife at the door of the operating room and the blood on the ground.
He held on to the wall to barely stabilize his figure. He took a deep breath and walked towards Shu Yuan: "A Yuan..."
Shu Yuan suddenly raised her head when she heard Lu Shenghua's voice. Pei Tian took Li Liyun and the others back to the police station to record a confession. Shu Yuan did not dare to cry or break down during this journey. But after seeing Lu Shenghua, Shu Yuan seemed to have support. She looked at him with trembling eyes and burst into tears.
Shu Yuan hugged his waist, put her forehead on his stomach, cried incoherently and said: "Shenghua...A Nian and Si Bao...I'm so scared..."
Lu Shenghua hugged his wife and put his hand on her back to help her breathe. He looked at the operating room with his eyes closed. The veins on his temples were bulging as he tried to hold back his emotions, and there were tears in his eyes.
"It'll be fine." He choked, rubbing Shu Yuan's back and comforting him: "A Nian and Sui Bao will be fine."
When Pei Shuo rushed to the hospital, the blood stains on the ground had been cleaned up. But he still saw the dried blood on Shu Yuan's clothes, which was a scary red area. He leaned against the cold wall of the hospital with red eyes and clenched his fists.
He shouldn't have gone home today. If he hadn't gone home, he might not be A Nian, and Sui Sui might not be like this...
That day, the lights in the operating room stayed on until late at night.
Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian were pushed out at about the same time. Neither of them was conscious and their lives were not out of danger, so they were pushed directly into the intensive care unit.
...
More than ten days later, the Lu family received calls from the admissions offices of several colleges and universities seeking to recruit students.
The college entrance examination results are out, and Jiang Suichu is the top scorer in Yun City. The phone number Jiang Suichu left belonged to the Lu family, so the admissions office called the Lu family directly.
Shu Yuan received the call from the Admissions Office of University A. She was packing things in Jiang Suichu's room at the time. Shu Yuan cried silently as she listened to the person from the admissions office. She was silent for a long time before asking, "Can the quota be reserved?"
Shu Yuan knew that Jiang Suichu's goal was University A, but now she...
Admissions Office: "Then when do you think you can give me a reply?"
Shu Yuan paused, covered her face and cried, "I don't know either."
The Admissions Office was quiet for a while, then asked carefully: "Are you... okay?"
Shu Yuan held Jiang Suichu's clothes in her arms, sobbing and shaking her head.
Not good, not good at all.
The knife on Lu Zhinian's chest did not pierce the heart because he blocked it. After the operation, he went through several dangerous moments, and on the third day he was finally out of danger and transferred from the ICU to a general ward.
But Jiang Suichu's situation is not optimistic. She fell from a high altitude, and even though there was a life cushion underneath, her head still received a severe impact.
The most important thing is that she has a weak will to survive.
Never woke up.
Lu Zhinian was wearing a hospital gown and sitting beside Jiang Suichu's bed with a pale face. He carefully held her hand, looked at her thin cheeks with lingering and bitter eyes, and said softly: "Jiang Suichu, haven't you slept enough?"
He put his hand away from the broken hair on her forehead: "We agreed to break the peace charm together. Don't you want to know what my other half's wish is?"
When he spoke later, his voice trembled a little.
There was no other sound in the ward except for the sound of dripping instruments and her weak breathing. She just lay there quietly, as if she would sleep forever.
Lu Zhinian took her hand and put it against his eyelids, his shoulders trembling silently.
Pei Shuo stood outside the ward, leaning his back against the wall and wiping the tears from his face with his hands.
The mastermind behind the accident was not arrested. Pei Tian was worried that drug dealers would come out to retaliate later, so he moved Jiang Suchu to a safer place.
In late June, Lu Zhinian could be discharged from the hospital, and Tang Mi and Tang Zi also returned from the UK.
After Tang Mi learned about Jiang Suichu, she cried and wanted to see her. But Pei Tian said that under the current situation, the fewer people who know where Jiang Suichu is, the better.
Except for the Lu family and the Pei family, no one knew where Jiang Suichu was. Even Li Liyun didn't know that she had begged Shu Yuan to take her to see Jiang Suchu several times, but Shu Yuan refused.
In the end, everyone’s planned graduation trip came to nothing.
Tang Mi and Tang Zi rushed to Tibet to see Jiang Minghao before returning to England. Lu Zhinian was recuperating at home, and Pei Shuo ran back and forth to Lujia Hospital every day, reporting to Lu Zhinian Jiang Suichu's daily situation.
In mid-August, Lu Zhinian recovered.
The wound on his chest had turned into a scar, engraved where his heart was.
Before school started, he went to Tibet alone without telling everyone except Pei Shuo.
That's where Jiang Suichu wanted to go.
He hiked up Najin Mountain, which is 4,000 meters above sea level, and tied prayer flags. Colorful prayer flags hang across the pass. The wind blows and the prayer flags all over the mountain make a loud sound. Whose prayers are echoed here.
He stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the blue sky, letting the wind blow away the blessing in his hands.
He looked at Ronda fluttering in the wind, his Adam's apple rolling, and said in a low voice: "Sui Sui, stay safe."
The next day, he went to Namjagbarwa Peak, which is "nine out of ten people encounter".
Namjagbarwa Peak is located in the Linzhi area of Tibet, and Jiang Minghao happens to be there. Jiang Suichu had said before that he wanted to see the Rizhao Jinshan there.
Lu Zhinian went to see Jiang Minghao first.
He was wearing a black windproof suit, a black peaked cap, a travel bag on his back and stood at the gate of the army with his hands in his pockets.
The moment Jiang Minghao saw Lu Zhinian, his steps paused slightly.
He stood upright, but his head was hanging down. Even though he was far away and couldn't see Lu Zhinian's expression clearly, he still felt a sense of decadence from him.
He and Lu Zhinian have known each other for three years. From the first time they met him, he knew that Lu Zhinian was a man of bright clothes and angry horses.
He is confident and flamboyant, and he has ideals and ambitions.
It was the first time he'd seen such emotion in him.
"How long have you been waiting?" Jiang Minghao trotted over.
When Lu Zhinian heard the voice, he raised his head and looked over, twitching his lips lightly: "Just arrived."
After one year of military life, Jiang Minghao has become more mature. With his dark skin, extremely short hair and straight body, there is no trace of the fierce young man from the shabby Internet cafe a year ago.
Jiang Minghao glanced at Lu Zhinian. Perhaps his body had not fully recovered from an injury, and his face was a little pale.
The two walked around the training ground several times, the sound of the howling wind on the plateau blowing past their ears.
Jiang Minghao looked at him: "How is your...injury?"
Lu Zhiqiang smiled: "That's almost it."
Jiang Minghao nodded: "She..."
Lu Zhinian knew what he wanted to ask. He lowered his eyes and looked at the ground and said in a low voice, "I'm not awake yet."
The doctor said that Jiang Suchu had no will to live and was unwilling to wake up.
Tibet in this season has a lot of sunshine and strong ultraviolet rays. Lu Zhinian raised his head, squinted at the dazzling sun in the sky, and said hoarsely: "I broke my promise and failed to protect her."
Jiang Minghao paused and remembered what he had said to him at the station before joining the army.
He knew that Lu Zhinian was blaming himself.
"It's not your fault." Jiang Minghao stepped forward and patted his shoulder. "The Jiang Suichu I know is a very tough girl. I believe she will wake up."
Lu Zhinian looked at the sky, his Adam's apple rolling hard: "Well..."
After bidding farewell to Jiang Minghao, Lu Zhinian went to Namjagbarwa Peak alone.
Now is the summer vacation, and many people come to see Rizhao Jinshan Mountain. On the way up the mountain, Lu Zhinian met a group of people about his age, so he shared a ride with them.
On the way, after chatting with each other, I found out that several of them were also graduates this year and were going on a graduation trip together.
One of the girls chatted with him: "Hey, why are you coming to see Rizhao Jinshan alone?"
Lu Zhinian was sitting by the window. He glanced at the girl and said calmly: "Can't you come alone?"
The girl smiled and said, "That's not true, it's just that very few people seem to come."
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth and did not answer. He turned his head and continued to look out the window.
Seeing his irritating attitude, the girl pouted at her companion and whispered, "It's a bit difficult."
The companion smiled and whispered in her ear: "Handsome guy, he has a normal temper."
When they arrived at their destination, Lu Zhinian paid the money and automatically walked to a place farther away from them to wait for the sunset. The tour guide said that the Rizhao Jinshan Mountain on Namjagbarwa Peak is more likely to be seen in autumn and winter, and it is not easy to see it in this season.
Lu Zhinian looked at the mountain peak opposite, surrounded by layers of thick fog. It seemed that he might not be able to see it today.
As time goes by, the temperature on the mountain becomes cooler and cooler, and the clouds become thicker and thicker. The group of people on the side were complaining. Lu Zhinian looked at the mountain top wrapped in clouds and slowly exhaled a mouthful of white mist.
If he could, he didn't want to see the sun shining on Jinshan.
He took out his mobile phone, put on his headphones, and clicked on the recorder: "Jiang Suichu, from now on... come with me to visit... Rizhao Jinshan."
After recording, he logged into the network disk and was about to send it to her, only to find that there was an audio to be received in the network disk.
From——Jiang Suichu.
He was stunned and clicked on the audio with trembling fingertips.
There was a few seconds of blank space in front of the audio, and then he heard Jiang Suichu's soft voice.
"TO See a WOrld in yOUr light that yOU've never Seen before."
(I use your light to see a world I have never seen before.)
"BeCaUSe I Came alive When I met yOU."
(Because I met you, I came back to life.)
"Shall I COmpare thee tO a SUmmer'S day?"
(Can I compare you to summer?)
"I mean, i lOve yOU."
(I mean, I love you.)
The recording was short and he listened to it quickly. With red eyes, he clicked play again and repeated it several times.
Just when he clicked play again, the caller ID suddenly popped up on the phone screen.
He looked at Pei Shuo's name on the screen and hesitated to click to answer. It wasn't until he was about to hang up automatically that he connected with trembling fingertips.
"Hello..."
"A Nian, Sui Sui she..."
"Ah!! The sun shines on the golden mountain!! Look!!"
Lu Zhinian raised his eyes and looked up. At some point, the clouds surrounding the mountain peaks dissipated, and golden sunlight shone on the top of the majestic snow-capped mountains.
People on the edge were cheering.
Only Lu Zhinian looked at the snow-capped mountains calmly, without cheering or taking pictures.
His amber eyes reflected the light of the snow-capped mountains.
Sparkling crystal.
"At the beginning of Jiang Sui, I saw the golden mountains illuminated by the sun."
