Zhou Yi parked the car on the spot and stared at the opposite side intently. After an unknown amount of time, the door of the back seat was opened. Qin Lie got out of the car, walked to the trash can on the roadside, threw something away, and then returned to the driver's seat. seat.
The car lights came on again and they drove back towards the villa area. The high beams shone towards Zhou Yi through the car window, stinging his eyelids even more.
Zhou Yi raised his hand to rub his eyelids, his fingertips were wet.
He was not qualified to blame Zheng Pianqing. After six or seven years of separation, he was still playing life as before, changing girlfriends one after another. Why should he ask her to stay stuck in the same place?
If he were Zheng Pianqing, he would probably choose Qin Lie without hesitation——
Although Zhou Yi was not pampered and grew up, he had a smooth life since childhood. He had a good family background to support him, and his learning ability and mobility were much stronger than ordinary people. Whatever he wanted to accomplish, Most can be done beautifully.
This was the first time he experienced despair.
When he encounters problems, he always finds solutions as quickly as possible with his active thinking and rich experience.
But facing Zheng Pianqing, he had no choice. All roads seemed to be blocked, and they were all blocked by himself.
It is your own fault, it is your own fault, it is your own fault...
But there was a voice in his head taunting: Can't you stand it now? What was this compared to what she had endured?
Zhou Yi covered his eyes with his hands, and the pain in his chest came one after another.
Zhou Yi was finally interrupted by a cell phone ringtone. He wiped his eyes hard and picked up the phone. When he saw the word "Zhou Ruo" on it, he was startled.
How could she remember to call him?
With doubts, Zhou Yi answered the phone, but he was in such a bad state now that after the call was connected, he did not joke as usual: "Do you have a problem with me?"
"I'm in New York. Which hotel are you staying in? I'll find you." Zhou Ruo said, "Or you can pick me up?"
Zhou Yi's mind became clearer: "What are you doing in New York?"
Zhou Ruo: "Come to sign the equipment purchase agreement for the laboratory and take a look."
Zhou Yi: "Where are you? I'll pick you up."
Zhou Ruo reported the address, which was a tea restaurant. After Zhou Yi wrote down the address, he turned on the navigation system to pick him up.
The tea restaurant was not far from here. Zhou Yi arrived after driving for twenty minutes. He parked the car at the door and called Zhou Ruo. Zhou Ruo came out and got in the car a few minutes later.
Zhou Ruo wore a gray windbreaker. After getting in the car, he put his bag aside and turned to talk to Zhou Yi, but he caught a glimpse of the bloody back of his left hand.
Zhou Ruo frowned, and when he raised his head to look at Zhou Yi's face, he saw his unusually red eyes.
"Are you... fighting with someone?" Zhou Ruo expressed his guess.
Zhou Yi shook his head, "Where do you live?"
Zhou Ruo: "Your hand needs to be bandaged. Go to the hospital first."
Zhou Yi: "No, it's okay."
Zhou Ruo: "Let's do this. I'll go back to your place with you and I'll give you the bag."
Zhou Yi didn't answer, started the car and drove towards the hotel.
After the car started, Zhou Ruo never took her eyes away from Zhou Yi - she was the same age as Zhou Yi. Although she was a few months younger than him, they could be said to have grown up wearing the same pair of pants. Among several brothers and sisters, , the styles of the two of them are also the most similar.
In Zhou Ruo's impression, she had never seen Zhou Yi so decadent, which also made her more and more curious about what happened to make Zhou Yi become like this.
After staring for a few minutes, Zhou Ruo couldn't help but ask: "Are you in a bad mood recently? Who provoked you?"
Zhou Yi shook his head.
Zhou Ruo didn't believe it: "Then how did you get yourself to be like this? You look like you are desperate for life and death."
Zhou Yi twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly.
Zhou Ruo: "...Don't be like this, I look really scared."
Zhou Yi: "It's okay, it's just retribution."
He thought that using these three words to describe his current situation should be more appropriate.
Zhou Ruo thought about Zhou Yi's words for a few seconds, "What retribution? If someone like you, who has been doing good deeds for more than ten years and feeds stray cats and dogs a few mouthfuls of meat when he sees them, can also suffer retribution, then I have to doubt God's vision. ”
Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "What's the use?"
He always thought that he had good intentions towards the world, but it was not until recently that he realized that it was just his unilateral self-paralysis. Any good deeds he did could not offset the pain he caused Zheng Pianqing.
Zhou Ruo was really frightened by Zhou Yi's decadent look, "So what's wrong with you? You look like those men who are looking for life after being dumped by me."
Zhou Yi didn't answer.
Zhou Ruo observed his expression, "...you were dumped?"
Zhou Yi: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
The matter between him and Zheng Pianqing was too complicated, involving too many time and people, and was not suitable for talking on the road.
Zhou Yi's words were tantamount to acquiescing to Zhou Ruo's question. Zhou Ruo showed an incredulous expression, and her usually pitiful curiosity was suddenly aroused - she had watched Zhou Yi wander around in these years. , I didn’t expect that one day he would overturn.
And it turned over so violently.
The car was parked in the basement of the hotel. Zhou Ruo first went to the lobby to get some medicine and bandages for treating wounds, and then followed Zhou Yi upstairs.
Zhou Ruo was carrying the medical kit and holding Zhou Yi's hand with the other hand to see, "How on earth did you do this? It hurts so much just looking at it..."
While talking, the two walked to the elevator door.
By coincidence, Zhou Yi met Qin Lie again here.
Qin Lie stood aside. He glanced calmly at the hands of the man and woman in front of him, and then looked away, with no intention of saying hello to Zhou Yi.
Zhou Yi subconsciously pulled his hand out, and at this moment the elevator door opened. After Qin Lie walked in, Zhou Ruo also pulled Zhou Yi in.
Zhou Yi lived on the ninth floor. After the elevator stopped, Qin Lie watched him and the woman beside him walk out of the elevator, and then pressed the door close button.
Qin Lie has always been a person with a sense of boundaries and rarely judges other people's feelings, but it is difficult for him to have a good impression of Zhou Yi - he knew that Zhou Yi was a playboy when he heard Zheng Pianqing's words before. people.
But after these few meetings, Zhou Yi refreshed his previous assumptions.
He was more promiscuous than he thought.
Whoever gets close to such a person will be unfortunate.
——
After returning to the room, Zhou Ruo opened the medical kit, treated Zhou Yi's wounds, and made a debridement and bandage.
After finishing, Zhou Ruo sat next to Zhou Yi and said, "Tell me, who is so capable that he makes you cry, make you fuss, and hang himself."
Zhou Yi didn't say anything, just picked up the phone next to him, found a photo and handed it to her.
Zhou Ruo took a curious look and saw a photo of a mother and daughter on the screen. Her eyes were first attracted to the woman on the left.
The casually rolled hair, plain sweater, and cool temperament are very attractive.
