It was getting late and the sunset was fading.
At the moment, everyone in the crew is discussing the play that just ended. It is a very difficult play. Originally, it was thought to last until late at night, but JOJO, as the protagonist, is in excellent condition. Almost all of them pass by. Even the director who is always frowning, rarely has a few words of fun with the people.
JOJO sat quietly aside. Although the protagonist of the discussion was him, he was not interested at all.
He frowned and looked at the horizon. After the sunset completely set, there was only a touch of crimson on the horizon. I don't know whether it was because there was always a picture of Jiang ruting holding porcelain chips and shouting to let him go. The red touch reminded him of only the blood between Jiang ruting's neck.
In the evening, JOJO just got out of the car from the crew. Before entering the door of Qin's house, the mobile phone in her pocket suddenly rang.
I don't know why. Hearing the bell, JOJO's heart pounded uncontrollably, inexplicably making him a little uneasy.
He took out his mobile phone. Under the dim courtyard wall lamp, Jiang ruting flashed on the dazzling screen.
JOJO paused and picked it up.
"Hello?"
As soon as his voice came out, he heard a faint choking in the receiver.
"JOJO, have you seen light?" Jiang ruting's voice seemed to cry for a long time. Even if he tried to speak normally, he was still hoarse and could hardly be heard.
This voice is a despair that JOJO has never heard of. It suddenly reminds him of the figure who fell on the road on a rainy night.
After the person on the phone asked him endlessly, he smiled and said, "I've seen it. When I met you for the first time."
"..." JOJO was silent, so he couldn't answer.
"Hehe, in fact, living is the most meaningless thing. Are you right?" knowing that he would not answer, Jiang ruting turned the topic, as if the sentence just now was just by the way.
"The abandoned people have to live like this. Can they really see the light? JOJO, can you tell me the answer?"
Her voice became lighter and lighter, like walking on the edge of a cliff. Her voice was ethereal by the wind. "I've been looking for this answer for a long time, but I'm really tired. If you know, tell me, I don't want to wait for this answer..."
JOJO just knocked her hand on the door, frowned deeply and asked her, "what's the matter with you? Where are you?"
"Me?" Jiang ruting looked at the high-speed bridge in front of him. His eyelashes blinked and tears fell from his face. "Maybe it's at the intersection of huangquan."
"Jiang ruting!" JOJO was a little anxious.
In his opinion, Jiang ruting is not an unforgivable bad man, not to mention that she has saved him. He can't die.
"Don't do anything stupid. Where are you? I'll find you," he said, taking his hand back from the doorknob and turning away.
On the phone, Jiang ruting was stunned and didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about the credibility of his words.
"Tell me where you are." JOJO asked again, adding a few sternness to his voice.
Jiang ruting hesitated for a moment and finally whispered his address. Finally, he asked him cautiously, "will you really come to me?"
"Yes," JOJO promised.
Jiang ruting was silent for a moment, but said, "did you take Qin Zhixu and Gu Chenyi to catch me back?"
JOJO, who is walking to the garage, really wants to tell Qin Zhixu that she ran away with Zhang Kuang. If anyone knows Zhang Kuang's whereabouts, it must be her.
Seeing his silence, Jiang ruting immediately sneered, and his hoarse voice sounded a little penetrating: "then you still don't have to worry. I won't tell you anything. It's easier to die..."
"I won't tell my brother. Don't do anything stupid. I'll come to you now." JOJO said quickly before she finished.
At the other end, Jiang ruting listened to the beep in his mobile phone and was stunned.
JOJO's last words still lingered in her ears. She looked at the warm mobile phone, and her tears kept falling on the screen.
"Fool..."
——
Jiang ruting's hair was messy on her face by the strong wind, blocking her sight. The weather forecast said it was good weather, but the wind and rain came without warning.
She was hurt by the rain, but she couldn't care to hold herself. She was silently counting down something, as if she was calculating when JOJO would arrive.
Behind him was a stream of traffic. Cars flashed one after another. Jiang ruting knew that soon JOJO would be on one of them, but he didn't know whether he should expect his arrival.
His arrival means that her light... Will soon be extinguished by her own hands.
JOJO arrived soon. He did come alone.
On the long high-speed bridge, Jiang ruting stood in the middle.
When JOJO saw her, she was leaning on the railing with one hand and her whole body was shaky.
His eyelids jumped and he hurried out of the car with his umbrella.
When she got closer, JOJO found that Jiang ruting didn't want to climb over the railing, because... Anyone only needs to glance at it. With her current physical condition, it's hard to do this at all.
Jiang ruting's bare arms and legs, neck and face were full of scars.
Like a bird whipped by a hunter, it broke its wings, broke its feet, and struggled with its last breath in chains.
JOJO was surprised, frowned and walked quickly to her.
Hearing the footsteps, Jiang ruting looked back and looked at JOJO. A real smile suddenly appeared on his pale face.
She wanted to turn around and take a good look at him, but her feet slipped, and suddenly her whole body slipped against the railing and sat on the ground.
JOJO subconsciously reached out to help her, but her speed was so fast that she didn't even struggle. His fingertips only brushed her sleeves.
She can't even finish the instinctive reaction of the human body
JOJO could not bear it. He took two steps forward, put his umbrella on her head and squatted down to hold her.
"How did this happen?" his voice was a little low. It was easy to be regarded as gentle in the rain.
Jiang ruting smiled and raised his hand to touch his eyebrows, but stopped when he was a few centimeters away, as if he didn't dare to touch him.
"Do you think it's providence?" she asked JOJO with a smile.
"What?"
"Every time I see you, it rains. Every time, you come from the rain and save me."
She tried to laugh happily, but tears began to appear in the bottom of her eyes.
JOJO pursed her lips and said calmly, "I'll take you back first."
Jiang ruting didn't refuse this time. He closed his eyes and let him pick himself up.
JOJO's arms were warm and comfortable. She was so close to him for the second time.
At this distance, as long as she raised her eyes, she could see his eyelashes and his usual cold eyes. It turned out that there was light in his eyes from this angle.
Jiang ruting grabbed JOJO's clothes and leaned against him. Tears rushed out.
She said silently, "I'm sorry, JOJO, I'm sorry..."
