Xiao Ji

Chapter 54 I spent 3 years

The sound of the tires braking seems to be far away, but it seems to be right next to my ears.

The screams from the people around, and the beating of the chest, the fear was as dense as running water, seeping from the head to the soles of the feet, he ran from the corner of the square to Yu Lou who was surrounded by everyone, at this time Yu Lou's blood was already dripping land.

On the low and wide steps, roses were broken by the legs of the people on the ground, mixed with blood of the same color.

The driver who caused the accident ran away with the car, Zhao Chengyan's mind went blank, and he wanted to bend down to hug Yu Lou who was on the ground, but found that he was still holding the second bouquet of roses in his hand.

There were thirteen roses in the first bouquet, and fourteen roses in his arms...

The owner of the florist said that today's date matches the meaning, but Zhao Chengyan was still thinking at that time, who knows what will happen in the future?Life is so long.

But how did he get here with the flowers just now?He looked as if he had experienced a lifetime, and his thoughts were blurred.

Only the two girls who sent flowers to him just now turned pale, especially after seeing the rose he was still holding in his arms, they finally burst into tears.

Zhao Chengyan half-kneeled beside the pool of blood, rudely brushed away the roses that were in the way in front of him, couldn't stop trembling and stretched out his hand to support Yu Lou's neck, "Ambulance...ambulance—"

Yu Lou was sent to the emergency room for emergency treatment, and later admitted to the intensive care unit. Both of his leg bones were crushed, and he fell into a severe coma.

During these difficult three days, on the first day, the driver who caused the accident was caught by the police, and he collected money to help his boss. In fact, he did not know the relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, but faced with the police investigation, he He slipped and denied that he was instigated to hit someone maliciously. On the day of the hit, he drank alcohol and was very likely to be accused of driving while drunk and causing the accident.

The next day, Wang Chuan was imprisoned for accepting bribes, and he was all exposed to Zhao Chengyan's video, so before he lost his freedom, he couldn't bear the malice in his heart and sent a message to Zhao Chengyan—"Do you like the gift I gave you in return? I After thinking about it, it is more appropriate for Dr. Yu to sign for it, and it is a surprise to find out your little secret."

On the third day, Yu Lou's parents returned to China, Zhao Chengyan left silently after his parents rushed to the hospital, looked outside the intensive care unit for a while, and took Yu Lou's mobile phone, which contained his phone number.

He is the culprit, and he doesn't know how to face Yu Lou after waking up...

Then let Yu Lou hate him, he also felt that he was extremely incompetent.

Zhao Chengyan frequently used his relationship to try to convict the driver of malicious injury, and interviewed a lawyer to discuss the accusation of Wang Chuan's conspiracy to cause an accident. His actions were too big, and the Wang family was at a sensitive time. His father got the news and all activities were interrupted.

The middle-aged man was so furious that he forcibly confiscated Zhao Chengyan's contact tools and confined himself at home, not allowing him to interfere in the muddy waters of the Wang family.

But after scolding, the middle-aged man found that his son was no longer indifferent as he was when he was in trouble in the past. The son stood quietly in front of him, his eyes were darker than ever before, "I can't use your relationship, because My weight is not enough, right..."

Because he is just a dandy who spends his time and has a good father, just give him a little face for his father's sake.

The middle-aged man was stunned. The cigarette ash in his hand fell on his knees, and he didn't even notice that he burned a small hole in his trousers, "What did you say..."

Zhao Chengyan's eyes turned red at that moment, he turned and went upstairs without saying a word, but he understood everything.

In his limited 24 years of life experience, he has never experienced such frustration, pain, heartache and despair. It was his fault. If it wasn't for his self-righteousness, his reckless arrogance, Yu Lou would still be in the game. Waiting for him, at this time after dinner, to appear in the mushroom hut they decorated together.

It's a pity that only Blue Mushroom is online today, and Blue Mushroom is squatting on the steps in front of the hut, tears pouring down onto the biscuit-paved road bricks under his feet, Zhao Chengyan wonders why he is so sad, tears can't stop, Obviously not so deeply in love...

Zhao Chengyan has changed. In the eyes of those closest to him, this change was joy at first, but it gradually turned into doubt and deep worry.

He sold the three bars and sports cars under his name, and bought a pharmaceutical agency company that was on the verge of bankruptcy. After a difficult start, he turned losses into profits within a year and established his own network of relationships.For this reason, he was so busy that he couldn't find anyone. He smoked a few cigarettes occasionally to a pack a day. He was socializing and drinking at night until he had a stomach attack and was sent to the hospital by his assistant to hang water. Hupenggouyou are more like parallel lines, and the centers of gravity of life no longer intersect.

When the new year came, Zhao Chengyan finally found time to go home and have a meal, but within a day he disappeared, his mother couldn't find anyone everywhere, and finally made a phone call. Said that he was going out to socialize, and the plane had just landed at the Capital Airport.

Listening to the broadcast at the airport on the other side of the phone, his mother hung up the phone in a daze, and then wept silently.

The middle-aged man didn't know how to comfort him, and it's not that he didn't try to talk to Zhao Chengyan, but his son even smiled with a perfunctory taste-his son didn't want to say those useless stupid things to him, this is a Chinese A young man's intuition as a father, he regretted not being able to listen to the reason for his son's anger.

Later, Yu Lou recovered from his injury and couldn't walk with his legs. He had no choice but to resign from the hospital and took a teaching job. With the research results of the artificial eye core in hand, he took a second job and went in. He only got a guaranteed salary without teaching, and helped students revise their papers at the end of the semester. If the students were willing, he would have a place in the thank you note on the last page. After all, there is no title of professor.

He also didn't know that Zhao Chengyan had visited him many times in the hospital, but each time he was far away, looked at him for a while, and then left quietly.

Until today, three years later, Yu Lou has already forgotten the person who taught him the adventure of playing mushrooms. Later, he heard that a younger member of the Wang family was released after serving his sentence, but not long afterward, he faced prosecution for a case of intentional homicide. At this point, he seemed to have no resentment or resentment in his heart, and he had completely calmed down for a while. If there is still a trace of regret, it is that he cannot go to the court to hear the trial in person.

Since Zhao Chengyan had dinner at Yu Lou's house that day, he would ask Yu Lou to eat out again every few days, and contact him as a friend. Yu Lou has nothing against it, but he will pay less attention when he is too involved in the game. up.

In the game, Yunxiao would occasionally come to Yanwang Mansion to look for Chong Zi, but the progress of Chong Zi's task of finding eyes was stuck at the last bar of the experience bar.

Tang Li had nothing to do, but what people didn't expect was that just the day before the end of the mission, Chong Zi got a belated gift from the housekeeper of Prince Yan's Mansion - it was sent by Yunxiao when he was on a mission before.

A few days ago when Chong Zi was not in Yan Wang's mansion, the housekeeper presented the gift box to Yan Wang. Yan Wang didn't take it seriously and put it away at will. He didn't remember it until now. He opened it and took a look. It was just the jade bracelet, it was fine, he Only then did people send it to Chong Zi, and it was best to strictly control what Yun Xiao prepared for Chong Zi.

Chong Zi hugged the red lacquer box blankly, before opening it, he suddenly said to Tang Li: "Master, I think it's a bit strange."

Tang Li was puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"The eyes are swollen and uncomfortable." After the words fell, the red lacquer box flicked open, and inside contained a pair of half-black and half-white jade bracelets. Under the twilight of the night, it is full and treacherous.

Chong Zi covered her eyes, the sounds of fireworks and wine in the southern country sounded in her ears, as if falling into a dream.

There was a man who was sitting across the line of sight, lazily tasting wine, and then he embraced him who was playing the piano and said: "The sound of the piano played by these hands is indeed unparalleled in the world, it is really beautiful." After that, he took out a red A lacquer box, inside is a pair of half black and half white jade bracelets, "for you."

As soon as the picture passed, Saibei was cold, and the snow was falling.

There was a tall figure not far behind him, and whenever he turned his head, that person would smile happily until he threw the red lacquer box in his arms into the snow-covered field.

Until one day before the end of the memory, the man was wearing silver armor and holding a blood-colored spear, leading a strong and handsome horse, gently untied a Buddhist bead from his wrist, and wrapped it around his hair, "let it replace him." I bless you."

From then on, they were separated by the city gate and never saw each other again in their whole life.

Tang Li watched in a daze as Chong Zi turned into a black ooze umbrella in front of her, and then the system prompted a ding.

[Player] System: Congratulations to the player "Tang Li" for completing the hidden mission [Soul Break], the Orange Weapon has regained its light, and the Chongzi Umbrella ranked second in the troubled times weapon rankings.

[Player] System: Congratulations to the player "Tang Li" for obtaining 1000 military merit points, the military merit superposition reaches 3900 achievements, and the reward coin is 3000 gold.

Mission... completed?

But wait!What about obtaining permanent master status? !

Tang Li was dumbfounded holding the heavy purple umbrella. When Hong Yan came back from the outside and walked all the way into the master bedroom, what she saw was Tang Li lying on the tea bed, with a cold and rainy expression that broke my heart, " fraud……"

"What?" Hong Yan thought it was referring to herself, her heart skipped a beat in fright.

"He clearly said he would give me the status of permanent master, but he didn't give it to me after the task was completed." Tang Li complained weakly, thinking about how Lin Yuejian was disgusted by Yunxiao back then, her lesson from the past!

Only then did Hong Yan understand. Sitting on the edge of the bed, she stretched out her hand to rub Tang Li's head, "Go and complain to the game administrator?"

"I have complained." Tang Li said in a muffled voice, "They said that there is no problem with the program set by the optical brain, and they don't care about it at all. It's a scam... It's the same as the games I played before..." Her voice became smaller and smaller. .

Hong Yan hesitated, "What?"

"A game I've played before." Tang Li scratched her head and said, "It's called Mushroom Adventure, have you heard of it?"

Hong Yan's expression froze immediately, and it was only after a while that she hummed softly, "I heard."

"That was the first time I played the game. Later, because I was sick, I didn't log in for a long time. As a result, when I went online, the mushroom house I bought was taken away by the system. I didn't know what to do. Then there were other mushrooms. Tell me that you can contact the game administrator, so I called them..." Tang Li's eyes darkened at this point, "They told me... because they haven't logged in for a long time, the mushroom hut will be automatically sold to other players. I went to the owner of the Mushroom Hut and wanted to buy it, but he raised the price three times..."

Hong Yan's fingers suddenly tightened, "What happened next?"

"...I wanted to wait for my friend to log in to the game and make money together, but he never came." Tang Li showed a trace of loneliness on her face, "So I... gave up later."

"Your friend hasn't come, do you hate him?" Hong Yan looked down at her fingers.

"Hate?" Tang Li was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly, "No, I can understand."

Hong Yan looked up, and Tang Li buried half of her face in the pillow, as if hesitating, after a long silence, she finally figured out something, and said with a little inferiority: "It's my fault...Actually...I told you Do not be angry……"

"What?" Hong Yan didn't know what mood she was in at this moment.

"My legs can't walk in reality, so..." Tang Li paused for a moment, looked away with a little dodge in his eyes and said, "So I understand that he doesn't want to contact me anymore, and I have never dared to promise you in reality. This is also the reason for meeting in China...I have to sit in a wheelchair for daily activities, I have a disability...I didn't deliberately hide it..."

Hong Yan suddenly stood up.

Tang Li immediately silenced her voice, and her heart sank.

In the end, Hong Yan turned around and threw her into the soft bed, pressed her head into her arms, and tried her best to suppress the pity in her heart, "I don't care."

He said in his heart: I don't care, I left you not because I disliked you as a drag, but because I hated myself, my own incompetence, my own youth and frivolity, I couldn't protect you, I couldn't seek justice for you , then what's the use of me staying?Nothing but self-blame...

So it took me three years to stand at this height. I may not be the best, but I will try my best.

Warm breath gushed into Tang Li's ears. Hong Yan's shoulders were broad and thick, and the posture of burying her head in the socket of her shoulders was just right, so that Hong Yan could not see those eyes that were moist because of being moved.
