I drove the car to the police station. Fifty meters away, Li Ao stood under the street lamp and rubbed his hands together.
He did not wear a western suit today as usual, but only a thin baseball jacket, light gray jeans, and shoes made him look much younger. I used to think that he was in his thirties, but now I see that he's about the same age as Gao Kan.
He was covered in blood, and his clothes were wrinkled and stuck together.
I opened the car door and told Li Ao to get in, but he just stood there and refused to get in, "I already said that there's no need for you to come, A Jin is really here."
"It's okay, come up. It's still early, I'll take you to see a doctor. He said you had a broken arm. "
"It's not cut off. It's probably because I couldn't express my feelings clearly. He misunderstood me. It's just that he's a bit unfocused …" He scratched his ears, as if he couldn't remember what he had said.
I asked him. "Dislocation?"
Li Ao revealed a bashful smile that did not match his appearance, "Ah, right! The policeman has already picked me up. "
"You still need to get some anti-inflammatory medicine to eat. Your face is still injured."
Then he got into the car, "Then why don't you take me to buy clothes first? "This one is too dirty..."
"Alright, my car is still at your school."
"Can you drive with your arms? Shall I take you home? "
"Not bad, you don't need to send me off. I don't want people to misunderstand."
I drove in the direction of the school, stopped at a men's clothing store, and waited for him to buy clothes.
About ten minutes later, he walked over and knocked on my window. "Miss Eyre, my wallet dropped, I'll lend you some money."
"How much?"
"A thousand."
I gave him my credit card, "No need to return it, I still owe Zhou Jin a sum of money."
"Thank you." He went in to pay the bill.
After a while, he got into the car amidst the respectful greetings from the employee.
I drove forward a little bit and saw that there was a pharmacy not far away. I got off the car to buy some medicine, but Li Ao insisted that he go buy some.
He explained, "I have a feeling that someone is following us. I'm afraid it's those people."
I knew that he was afraid that I would be splashed again, so he gave me the credit card and let me go.
It took him ten minutes to walk out of the drugstore and down the steps before he was stopped by two girls, who excitedly pointed and told him what to say.
I know, this is a conversation.
was dressed in a camel-colored windbreaker, making him look very tall. His jeans were stuck to his legs, and he was tall and straight.
I was bored from waiting so I took the opportunity to glance at him a few times. This yellow-skinned banana, probably has a mixed bloods gene, and was much more good-looking than Zhou Jin.
The two girls pestered him for half a day before they left. Li Ao got on the car with an apologetic look on his face, "Sorry, they asked me for directions."
"Yes." I was going to tease him about his phone number, but then I realized we didn't know each other, so I didn't say anything and kept driving.
As I passed the bus stop, he told me to stop. "I'll stop here. My car is across the street."
"Alright." I stopped the car and he carried the clothes down.
"Miss Eyre, I will bring the money over to you tomorrow. Thank you."
"No need, I still owe Zhou Jin money, treat it as me returning it to him."
"One yard, one yard. He is him, I am me." He didn't give me a chance to decline. He turned around and left, but he didn't walk towards the opposite direction. Instead, he walked towards the billboard.
I thought he was going to sit down and rest. I didn't expect him to walk over to the billboard, take out some old clothes that were stained with blood, and use his left hand to wipe the ink off the billboard.
I opened the window and honked the horn.
He looked back at me.
"No need to wipe it."
"It's fine, I feel uncomfortable looking at it." He waved me away.
I don't know him very well. Usually when we meet, he doesn't speak more than ten sentences.
But he was a stranger. Because my billboard had been splashed with ink, he was fighting with a few local thugs, and he was even seriously wiping the ink off the billboard …
Why did he do that?
Zhou Jin already stopped chasing after me, there's no need for him to be so attentive, right?
I went out to the parking lot and got out of the car, carrying the plastic bag with the pig prod in it. I thought about going back to the dorm, but I couldn't think of anything, so I went around to the other side of the street to confirm some of my guesses.
Li Ao had not left yet, his tall body was still squatting on the ground wiping earnestly. Someone took a photo and he rejected them, he got up and negotiated with the girl, and in the end, she gave him her phone.
Afterwards, he ignored the many pairs of eyes watching him and continued to wipe the ink at the bottom corner with a somewhat comical posture.
As I watched, I felt a warmth rise up in my heart.
But just at that moment, on the second day, when Li Ao came to find me to return the money and wanted to invite me to eat, I bluntly refused.
As an adult, it was easy to see some emotions in the eyes of another adult. I didn't dare to think that he liked me, but I felt that I was a man's wife, and that I should keep my distance from other men.
Even though Gao Kan doesn't think that way, but this is my persistence in love.
On Monday afternoon, Gao Kan finally came to see Bi Shui, but he was in a hurry and his kiss was perfunctory. We only drank a cup of coffee and he left in a hurry.
He didn't say much about the matter of being splashed with ink, but had someone change the advertisement tag and rented the entire building's rolling electronic screen at the biggest landmark in Blue Water City to count down my birthday.
In addition, there were also those on the outer shore of Demonic City.
I told Gao Kan not to do this, it's only his birthday, there's no need to make such a big fuss about it, but he insisted on doing it. After that, he said something extremely corny, saying that I was his honor and must let everyone know that on the day twenty-two years ago, a beautiful and cute girl was born.
It is a lie to say that I am not moved. I actually enjoy it in my heart. I immediately forgive him for his negligence during this period of time and for breaking my promise time and time again. That girl is able to resist this kind of romance.
Just as I was counting the countdown, looking forward to Christmas, I didn't expect that in the first three days, something very depressing would happen. Gao Kan and I argued again, and for the first time since we started dating, we parted ways.
The reason was because Hao Zi invited me to a meal, said that he was celebrating his return to being single, his successful divorce, and the fact that he took back the house and car that had been swindled away.
Ouyang Xinzi had been sentenced to prison for fraud. This matter had been going on for more than two months, and Hao Zi had been very quiet, if not as the person in question, everyone would have forgotten about it. He did not expect himself to suddenly bring it up in the group.
I just happened to have a free time that day at the end of the exam. Thinking about how Zhou Jin's bad move on the day of the wedding had made Hao Zi's family look really bad, I felt a little guilty today, so I didn't reject him.
Coincidentally, Hua Yang didn't have any part in those two days, so she specially came back from the crew to play with me. We made an appointment to go to Hao Zi's house together.
The gathering place was at Hao Zi's newly bought Riverside Villa, a bonfire party in the open air. It was very normal at the beginning, he just had a barbecue with some unfamiliar people in the group and drank some beer.
Su Jiawang also came, and the two of us politely greeted each other.
When I saw him in the past, I was called Sister-in-law.
He first explained, "I already have a girlfriend, forget about the past. In the future, your Sister-in-law will be replaced."
If he said so, then those people would stop jeering.
