Chapter 193 Courage
When Liu Yiqing cried like a tearful person again, Aunt Tong stroked and comforted her while looking at the cup on the table in confusion.
But how could Liu Yiqing, who was heartbroken at the moment, clearly tell her how much longing and sadness this unique cup of tea carries?
The lemon tea technique that makes this flavor is learned by Corning from Liu Yiqing's mother.
It was the first time that Liu Yiqing had a freshman year. He took his boyfriend Corning into the dilapidated house in the suburbs. As a garden farm worker, his mother dragged her sick body to the hillside, picked a few of the largest wild lemons, and made delicious lemon tea with her own honey to entertain Corning. He told Corning that this was her daughter's favorite drink. Because the family was not rich, her daughter liked to drink this homemade drink since she was a child, but she became addicted after drinking too much.
After drinking it, Corning, who was easy-going and polite, praised it endlessly and humbly asked for the preparation method. With Liu Yiqing's mother's hand-in-hand guidance, Corning quickly got started and prepared a fragrant and delicious lemon tea.
Since then, every time the two of them are together, Kang Ning will happily buy back lemon and honey to make a cup of Liu Yiqing. It always touches Liu Yiqing and feels extremely happy and sweet.
But now this cup of sweet lemon tea is so bitter. How could Liu Yiqing, who evokes beautiful memories, not heartbroken when facing the cruel reality of today?
What surprised Aunt Tong was that Liu Yiqing slowly left her arms, opened her misty red and swollen eyes, and said choked: "Godmom, I... it's okay, I'll go down to find him, I want to talk to him..."
Aunt Tong looked at Liu Yiqing's face carefully, and after looking at it for a while, nodded with confidence: "You can calm down so quickly. My godmother is very happy. My daughter, we have to face it no matter how big things are. In this life, it is like walking. I wonder what will happen to the next bend? Like Xiao Ning, I was suddenly forced to escape everywhere. It is difficult to get home, so I caused so many troubles. Alas! Xiao Ning was grown up when I watched him grow up. I really didn't expect that so many things would happen to him in more than a year of escape. I didn't know his experience over the past year, and I didn't have a chance to ask. I think you should ask him, no matter what, there must be a reason. At least he wants to let you know why all these changes are. If you figure things out, maybe your knot can be untied. You are still young and have a long way to go!"
"Um……"
Liu Yiqing looked at Aunt Tong with gratitude, took out the replaced clothes by the wardrobe, and walked into the bathroom at the corner.
Aunt Tong walked downstairs to Kangning and sat down. Her eyes looked at Kangning with a complicated look: "Xiaoning, you have to talk to Xiaoqing later. Talking tactfully, don't irritate her. She is a miserable child, helpless. She was implicated for your affairs and was desperate and ran into walls everywhere. If I hadn't met by chance, I really wouldn't know how she would be going through now. Alas... I've gone upstairs, you should comfort her more, okay?"
Corning nodded vigorously: "I can!"
More than ten minutes later, Liu Yiqing walked down the stairs, closed the door, and sat down opposite Corning.
Seeing Corning prepare a cup of lemon tea for herself, the tears that had just stopped poured out again. After a while, she calmed down and whispered to Corning: "Tell me how you got through over the past year, okay?"
Kang Ning nodded sadly, and drank half a cup of tea before he slowly explained his experience:
"I was on night shift in the emergency room on the evening of June 20 last year. I was very busy that night. First, a child had a fracture, and then three car accident patients were out of rescue. In the middle of the night, two policemen suddenly sent a female patient named Zhen Qian. Just like your current profession, you probably heard of her. The police said that she was injected with drug overdose shock by herself. I rescued her at that time, but..."
Although Corning carefully chose to use words and tone in a plain and cautious manner to tell her experiences and experiences over the past year, Liu Yiqing's expression was still panicked with Corning's narration. Sometimes she sighed. When Corning said that she was seriously injured and was chased, she was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her chest, and her white knuckles turned white due to her tight fists; when Corning said that she had successfully escaped, she was filled with relief, when Corning said that she met Su Fang, Lu Jing and others and then crossed that relationship, her face was full of pain and sadness...
Her heart rose and fell with Kang Ning's words, sometimes floating on the top of the peaks and sometimes falling into the gullies at the bottom of the water.
She really couldn't imagine that Corning in front of her had endured so many hardships and tests, and it was difficult to understand why Corning's heart was so contradictory and unified. The moral values and behavioral standards that were almost opposite appeared on Corning at the same time, which surprised her and pondered.
She could understand Corning's relationship with the two women, understand Corning's self-reliance and relief under heavy pressure, but could not accept this irresponsible and ridiculous behavior. She sympathized with Corning's experience, but could not forgive him for being promiscuous, so her heart was very heavy and painful.
When she heard Corning explain that she was staying in the same hotel as her when she returned to Guangxi on the first day, she realized the origin of the mobile phone text message that had been puzzled by her. At the same time, she was moved by Corning's complex feelings frequently. When she heard Corning say that she was surfacing her head and rushed past her with blood that day, her beautiful glasses were round, obviously incredible. Thinking of the inside story of the case she learned, she exclaimed and shook her head to sigh. Finally, she felt this question arose in her heart:
Is the person in front of me still the upright, kind, elegant and knowledgeable lover you are familiar with?
Corning said the whole incident, he felt relaxed
But when he saw the sadness and blame in Liu Yiqing's eyes, he couldn't help but think.
Liu Yiqing endured the love and loss in her heart, and breathed a long sigh. He asked softly at the familiar and strange handsome man in front of him who made him dream of day and night, "What are you going to do in the future?"
Kang Ning smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I have been working hard and putting all my strength into my innocence, but I always have a bad premonition, and I often feel confused and depressed..."
"No, it's not now..." Liu Yiqing exclaimed with a worried look on her face.
Corning's voice seemed to be getting lower and lower, "I never dared to say some words to my elder brother and family, for fear that they would worry more about my mentality. I don't know why, over the past year, my premonition has been very accurate, especially when I was about to encounter danger, I felt restless or nervous for no reason. This indescribable feeling made me escape from death several times."
Speaking of this, Corning stared into Liu Yiqing's eyes. "Oh, now I can't make any promises to my family, let alone make any guarantees. It's too early to say anything before I have no freedom, so I can only wait. This feeling is very uncomfortable."
"I understand you...but you..."
Liu Yiqing closed her eyes and held back her tears. She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Ning, I feel so uncomfortable..."
Kang Ning couldn't help but stretched out his hand, but stopped halfway. Just as he hesitantly retracted his hands, the sad Liu Yiqing grabbed his hand and pressed it on his face, and cried with tears in his eyes: "Brother Ning, what should I do in the future... In this world, I have only you, but now... but now... I hate you. I also hate myself..."
"Yiqing, I'm sorry to you..."
"I don't want to hear this!"
Liu Yiqing quickly calmed down, walked into the bathroom, washed her face, and sat opposite Corning again: "I know your difficulties, I really want to do something for you..."
Seeing Kang Ning talking, Liu Yiqing shook her head gently: "Brother Ning, can you listen to me? I found that something is wrong in the officialdom recently. There are many rumors. I know something because of my work place. Another thing is that I have a colleague named Lan Xin, who is Lan Jianguo's daughter. She often tells me about the officialdom. After Lan Tao died, she became the only child of the Lan family. She has a good relationship with me, and she is very smart and upright. Compared with her brother Lan Tao, she is not like a family at all. She told me that although she is not ashamed of her brother's style, her brother does love her very much. She said that when his father was still teaching at a young age, his family was very poor, and his grandparents were old and sick, exhausted his father's salary, and the family often didn't even have a meal of meat for a week.
She was still young, and her brother saw that she was so hungry that she cried, so after school, she went to the river to catch eels, and took it home and kept it for her. When the family had money, his brother always responded to her and cared for her, but she knew that her brother had done many unintentional things on his back, so she never took a penny from her brother after she knew it. She was very sad when her brother died. She vowed to avenge her brother. When I was transferred to the station at first, she ignored me at all. Later, when I got familiar with her, she became friends with me. I can learn some information from her. I will tell you what news. No matter what happens in the future, I will let you clear the grievances on your body. Before this matter is resolved, let's not talk about anything, okay?"
Corning looked at her gratefully, then shook her head and said, "I don't agree with you doing this. You don't know what's going on here. In the past, I naively believed that those who are pure will be clear and believe in justice and axioms. Now I know that justice and axioms exist and are worthy of my faith to pursue it. However, there will be a lot of price or even life on the road to pursuing justice and axioms. I think that if I die before I can demonstrate justice and axioms, then this justice and axioms will only work for future generations and have no meaning to me.
Therefore, this form of justice and axiom is not what I pursue. In fact, our nation is very contradictory. There is a saying that "good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil", and there is also a saying that "the Tao will be one foot higher than the demon will be one foot higher than the demon will be". Especially in this era of lack of faith, the flagpole that supports the banner of justice and axiom is often powerful! It can be said that in the process of pursuing justice and axiom, most people are weak and confused, including me. Therefore, my code of conduct is: wherever my heart points, I will go!"
Liu Yiqing looked at Kang Ning in shock. She had never seen such a bold, firm and unruly Kang Ning. She had never seen such a rich emotion in his bright eyes. When he looked closely, he seemed so deep as if he could never see the bottom. His straight nose and tight lips that were pursed, and his cheeks that had become slightly thinner were more tenacity, less tenderness, more vicissitudes and less comfort, making the whole person feel a strange charm, so that Liu Yiqing couldn't help but look at Kang Ning in a daze.
Kang Ning blushed and coughed. Liu Yiqing came to her senses, quickly let go of Kang Ning's hand, lowered her head with a blushed face and said, "Brother Ning, it's getting late, I'll go up and rest first. Can we talk to you if you have time?"
Corning nodded and stood up, watching her step by step onto the steps.
Corning knew that tonight would be another sleepless night, but I wonder how the people who were directly above him would spend it?
