In the dark underground parking lot, three men and women with different emotions, their eyes intertwined with each other, and the air was inexplicably anxious.
Shen Qiuxu looked at He Tianran who was leaning next to Cao Aiqing, and his eyes finally settled on his legs; while He Tianran glanced at Cao Aiqing quietly, and he noticed that the girl was looking at Shen Qiuxu, and her lips were slightly pursed subconsciously. Standing up, a complicated expression appeared on the originally cold face.
The silence lasted only a few seconds, and his thoughts had already turned over and over again. He Tianran slowly let go of his arm that was leaning on the girl's shoulder. He walked to the wall, leaned against it, and said with a grin:
"Brother Shen, you came just in time. Do me a favor and help me. We have to go to the infirmary."
Shen Qiuxu finally came to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, you two wait for me for a while, I'll park the car nearby."
With that said, he restarted the car, drove to a parking space not far away, stopped, and reversed into the garage.
Cao Aiqing looked back at He Tianran. The man just smiled and neither of them spoke.
After Shen Qiuxu parked the car, he ran all the way over. When he arrived in front of He Tianran, he asked worriedly: "Junior, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing. I was kicked accidentally, but luckily, it shouldn't be serious."
He Tianran said casually, put his hand on Shen Qiuxu's shoulder, and the three of them set off again.
Each department of the University of Hong Kong has an infirmary. They found the nearest one and sent He Tianran there. The doctor on duty lifted up He Tianran's trousers and checked him. It was indeed nothing serious. He was given medicine and rested. It will take some time to recover.
In the infirmary, He Tianran was lying on the hospital bed. In fact, he wanted to go back to bed nearby to recuperate. After all, the injury this time was not as serious as last time. But it was rare that the three of them were here now, so he simply lay down and rested more. meeting.
"So, Tianran, you injured your leg while practicing fighting? You can't tell. I always thought you were gentle and gentle. It turns out you also like this kind of intense fighting sports."
Shen Qiuxu sat on the chair opposite the hospital bed and smiled after learning the reason for He Tianran's injury.
He Tianran had been working in the library before, and it was there that he and the other party met for the first time, so this impression was not surprising.
"Senior Shen is being rigid, isn't he? Reading and boxing are just hobbies. Knowing a lot of knowledge does not mean you are healthy. You still have to exercise when necessary. Is Senior also interested in boxing?"
"Hahaha, I quite liked this kind of sports when I was in high school, but since I graduated from my undergraduate degree and entered the society, I have very little time to cultivate my hobbies..."
Shen Qiuxu spoke a little sadly, and He Tianran kept chatting with him. Since the two of them were not very familiar with each other, most of the conversations were awkward.
"Indeed, Mr. Shen, are you currently a working graduate student while studying in graduate school?"
"No, it's full-time. The requirements for part-time graduate students at the University of Hong Kong are too high, and the tuition is more than 100,000 yuan a year. If I'm not a small boss, I really can't afford it. But having said that, I usually do some odd jobs to support my family. I have to make ends meet without losing my salary, so apart from going to class, I don’t have much free time.”
"I guess it will be better during the second and third years of graduate school, right? For example, seniors, if you study architectural design, it should be very convenient for the instructor to introduce the work after he knows the basics."
I remembered that Cao Aiqing said that after returning to China in the future, she would work in Shen Qiuxu's design studio. Judging from the current stage, the other party should be digging for his first pot of gold.
"Yeah, that's right, it's natural. You don't need to call me like a senior. It's strange. Just call me Brother Shen or Brother Qiuxu like you did just now."
"Okay, no problem, Brother Shen."
"By the way, did Ai Qing go to practice boxing with you today?"
Shen Qiuxu asked curiously.
Since it was inconvenient for them to tell outsiders about what they investigated in the afternoon, He Tianran just smiled and nodded. Just as he was about to find something to say, he didn't expect that the door of the infirmary was pushed open, and Cao Aiqing walked away carrying a white plastic bag. Come in.
"I bought you drinks."
Cao Aiqing said something, and she walked to the table nearby. The girl seemed to remember everyone's preferences. For example, He Tianran had a habit of ordering cocoa when he went to a coffee shop. He only drank Coca-Cola for carbonated drinks, the kind that pretended to be frozen. Yes, two dollars and a half for a can. If not, he would rather drink soda or mineral water.
What Cao Aiqing gave He Tianran was this kind of canned Coke.
She still remembered this little thing.
The man took the Coke, and there were still water drops on the can that slid to his fingertips. The touch of his palm made him feel cool. He looked up and saw that the drink Cao Aiqing gave Shen Qiuxu was one of those coffee drinks. If it is not one of them that they like, few people will buy it.
Presumably, it must have been specially selected.
He Tianran opened the bottle of happy water and took a sip, and let out a comfortable "Ah~" sound, as if he was covering up something...
"Ai Qing, you came back just in time. I have something to ask you."
Shen Qiuxu first put the coffee aside, opened his shoulder bag and rummaged around to find out whether Cao Aiqing had an appointment with He Tianran in the afternoon, and why the two of them had such a thing together. Based on his current relationship with Cao Aiqing, there was no Once you find the right time, it won’t be easy to ask in person.
Maybe the older people grow up, the more tortuous they will be in expressing their wishes for things they care about. This kind of wish will not be as direct as it was in childhood or adolescence. It seems to be a convention in this society. Only by understanding the rules and applying them to life can we represent maturity.
And Shen Qiuxu is undoubtedly a mature man.
"what?"
Cao Aiqing took a document bag he handed over and asked blankly.
"These are some cases I came to after consulting with my friend's law firm and the Public Security Bureau. They are all about rumors and defamation. Ai Qing, because the cost of spreading rumors online is now very low, many parties involved do not take it seriously. It feels like there is no way to start, but once the police or the school intervene directly, the deterrent effect alone is enough to scare away many rumormongers. I hope you can think carefully about this solution, and no matter what, we all Your friends will be on your side.”
Shen Qiuxu explained patiently, while Cao Aiqing was a little distracted for a moment while holding this case...
"What a good idea, Brother Shen."
At this time, He Tianran behind her expressed admiration.
No matter what, calling the police is always the most effective way to solve this kind of thing. Regardless of whether Shen Qiuxu took out this case to please Cao Aiqing or out of a sense of justice, it was a combination of both. Just the thought and effort he put into this matter was enough for He Tianran to sincerely praise him from the standpoint of the girl's friend.
"Brother Qiu Xu, let me... think about it."
"Haha, okay Ai Qing, I don't want to put any burden on you by giving this to you. It would be great if you could solve this problem through other means. After all, the most important thing for us now is to solve the problem that is bothering you. Let’s resolve the matter.”
Shen Qiuxu spoke words that made people feel relaxed. He took the coffee and put on his shoulder bag. He also realized that his presence here would cause some unnecessary pressure to the couple, so he said goodbye:
"Okay, I have to go back and work hard on drawing, so I won't disturb you two... Of course, I'm leaving first. Please contact me if you have anything to do."
He looked at He Tianran, and the two men looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay, Brother Shen, walk slowly."
He Tianran greeted.
As the other party turned around and left slowly, Cao Aiqing put the document on the bedside table and signaled that she would come back. Then she turned around and left with Shen Qiuxu. Because of her emotions and reasons, she had to send others off even if they helped others. of.
So He Tianran was left alone in the ward.
He reached out and picked up the document on the bedside table, rubbed it with his fingers, lowered his head and thought...
He slowly understood why Cao Aiqing didn't want someone like him to get close to Shen Qiuxu.
Because the girl has seen the darkness of people's hearts, she will cherish the kindness of others more and more, and not everyone who is close to Cao Aiqing will plot against her. There is no such saying in the world, and there is no such reason. The girl's original destiny is You should be lucky and be surrounded by those who deserve it.
Moreover, not everyone needs to be like He Tianran, who has to constantly accept the repeated torture and beatings of fate.
What image does he have to Cao Aiqing?
He Tianran asked himself a question and soon got the answer...
At least, not a good person like Shen Qiuxu...
Whether it was the self who had done evil and manipulated her life, or the self who had allowed her to see unparalleled beauty and then betrayed her in the end, neither was a good person...
To Cao Aiqing, He Tianran was more like a killing knife, a bewildering ghost, an iron threshold that could not be bypassed in the past and present life, making people happy and decadent, and making people feel tired from love to hatred...
The man seemed to feel something. He slowly turned his head and looked out the window. On the campus in late autumn, the dusk of the sun was intertwined with the red of the maple leaves. On the road, there was a tall boy carrying a shoulder bag and his hands tied in a ponytail. The girls behind them walked side by side.
One of them is talkative, the other is smiling, romantic and perfect for each other.
The backs of the men and women gradually drifted away, and some people vaguely remembered the past.
The sunlight shining through the window seemed to illuminate the ghost lying on the bed watching them until nothing could escape.
But the strange thing is that those eyes are still gentle...
He Tianran seemed to have seen a beautiful story, which was slowly opening. As an outsider at this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, and only one thought came to his mind, and he murmured in a low voice:
"so good……"
He Tianran looked back, his eyes were a little astringent, and something crystal hung in the corner of his eyes. He stretched out his hand to wipe it away, like the smoky dust wiped away after the autumn wind blew on his face.
In this world, there are people in heaven, stitching together their fragmented selves; there are people in hell, dismantling loneliness with blessings.
When Cao Aiqing returned to the ward, the breeze gently blew the screen window, and the hospital bed was empty.
She was startled slightly, walked to the bed, and sat down slowly.
On the bedside table next to her, the documents Shen Qiuxu gave her were still placed there.
But the girl just lowered her eyes and was lost for a long time...
There have been a lot of people giving rewards recently, so thank you everyone! Thank you and take a bow!
