As the saying goes, 'nothing can make up for it'. Lu Chen had just undergone surgery to meet the criteria of physical deficiency.
I used his card to buy a 100-year-old ginseng, swipe the card while the cashier's sister pressed five digits on the POS machine. I didn't feel bad at all. I was happy instead.
For the whole morning, a hundred-year-old ginseng and an old black chicken were stewed together. A dense ginseng soup smell wafted in the air for a radius of ten miles. No matter how one thought about it, it would be a great tonic.
Carrying my chicken soup to the hospital, Lu Chen opened the lid and the soup immediately filled the room.
Lu Chen looked at her with a faint smile, giving me the feeling that he had seen through my thoughts. "This chicken soup has wasted a lot of your time."
True, it took a lot of effort. If this martial arts is wasted for his own good, I will gladly admit it. However, my martial arts is wasted for my own good.
I smiled in embarrassment and said, "No, it's very simple."
"I want meat." He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The black chicken pays attention to soup, the meat is not tasty."
"I want to eat it, take out the bone for me."
He was determined to eat, so I picked up the thermos and picked up the meat piece by piece. I took out the bones and put them in the spoon for him to eat.
I was so focused on picking out bones that I didn't realize how "harmonious" we were, nor did I realize when someone had come to the door.
A light cough sounded from behind him. I looked over, and it was unknown how long Lu Yulin had been leaning against the door frame, watching for.
"Uncle, I have some group matters to discuss with you."
He spoke to Lu Chen as if he hadn't seen me, and I got up and took the thermos out onto the balcony. I felt two pairs of eyes following me closely. To use idioms to describe this feeling was like a thorn in my back.
Closing the glass door, I vaguely heard what they were saying inside, but I couldn't make out what they were saying. Seeing that Lu Chen didn't seem to be thinking too much about the soup, he started teasing me again.
The balcony was connected, and I could hear the sound of the TV next door. I could also see the man leaning against the fence, accompanied by the lonely sunset. On the hospital balcony, it made him look extremely desolate.
And in the room behind me, on the bed, the man, in a sense, I had taken him to the hospital myself. When he was pushed into the operating room, I felt guilty and regretful, but I had never worried about him. His life and death really had nothing to do with me.
The glass door was pulled open from the inside, and Lu Yulin looked at me with an inexplicable expression on her face, her hands in her pockets.
"I'm leaving, send me off."
Before I could refuse, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me out. I looked at Lu Chen for help, but he didn't say a word. There was no trace of emotion on his calm face.
I was a fool to ask him for help.
Lu Yulin pulled me down the fire escape and shut the door behind her with all her might. The two doors collided with a loud bang. Lu Yulin's face was gloomy, and her mood was extremely bad.
I took a step back, trying to put some distance between us, but he kept moving forward. Until I was forced into a corner, I had nowhere to run. He reached out and grabbed my neck, and his hand was really working.
"You really did have an affair with Lu Chen. Didn't you just say that you were just a superior and a subordinate?"
I gripped his wrist in panic, afraid that he wouldn't be able to control his strength.
"I really have nothing to do with him." I wanted to say I was innocent, but I just couldn't open my mouth.
His eyes were wide and red. "You used to cook for me."
"I only cooked for you before, but you didn't let me make it for you again."
It was as if I was angered by those words and the strength in my hands had increased. I felt that it was getting harder and harder to breathe, [Am I going to lose my life here today?]
"Even if you're not with me, you can't be with him." Ye Zichen clenched his teeth.
This sentence was similar to what Lu Chen had said.
You can marry anyone from the Lu family, but not Lu Yulin.
It's not like there are only two men in the world, so why would they think that I have to marry each other?
"I... Now... I'm afraid I'm going to be with the King of Hell, as long as … "Try a little harder."
As Lu Yulin heard this, she suddenly loosened her grip. Blood flowed back into her heart without any resistance, and she held onto her heart as she panted.
I sat down at the base of the wall and rested for a moment before my heart stopped beating.
"I don't like you, let alone Lu Chen. Don't worry, I won't let my entire life be ruined by you two. "
If I could see beyond the axis of time, I would know how face-smacking this phrase is now.
"That's good. Mu Mu will believe you again."
He opened the fire door and walked away. I sat limply on the ground. It was wonderful to be alive.
In the washroom, I could see a circle of red marks on my neck from the mirror. Just now, Lu Yulin probably really had the heart to strangle me.
Afraid of being seen, I gathered my hair around my neck and looked at it in the mirror.
When he returned to the ward, the thermal container had already been emptied of its soup. Lu Chen's body smelled faintly of soup, unlike the man he was before.
"It was so delicious that I poured it all out." He seemed to sense my confusion.
It doesn't matter, it's not my money that's wasted.
"What happened to your neck?" he asked with a trace of anger.
I ran my hand through my hair, trying to cover it all.
"It's Yu Lin …"
I didn't want to hear him ask any more questions, so I wouldn't answer. I interrupted him and asked, "Can I get off work earlier today?"
His anger disappeared without a trace. After thinking for a while, he replied, "Sure. You can leave when Anzhe comes back."
The leaves on the ground creaked as they walked on the streets in the late autumn. He raised his eyes to look at the couple that were snuggling together. I was glad that I was still alone, because what had happened so long ago, if someone had said a word of warmth to me, I probably wouldn't be able to hold on for so long.
Speaking of warmth, I took out my phone and called Qian Chenjie.
"Hey, Mu Mu!" She spoke in a lazy tone, as if she had just woken up.
"You're not still sleeping, are you?"
"Yes, from yesterday until now …" What the hell! "A strange sound came from the other side," You're on the news again! "How can he still be so explosive."
"Yes." "Only now do you know that Lu Chen has already been washed clean."
"Ah, you are now the Queen of the subject. Where are you? " Her frantic voice came from the other end.
"Walking in the street."
"You still dare to walk around, aren't you afraid of being secretly filmed? "Go to the same place and wait for me. I want to see you."
Looking at my phone, which showed that the call was over, I gave a self-deprecating smile. Posted secretly? What kind of person am I?
