Chapter 17 Vine and Tree

In front of her father's grave, Lin Xiangwan told herself that from now on, in front of this man, she would only bleed, not shed tears.

She does what she says.

Chu Di refused to let go, and couldn't let go, because he was afraid that if he let go, she would be like a butterfly in the villa, flying without a trace again, leaving him unable to find a trace. On such a cold night, she

This butterfly would freeze to death if it left him.

So he would rather make her hurt and hate her, but he would never let her go.

He dragged her towards the direction of the car. Lin Xiangwan was like a trapped beast, struggling and biting desperately, but her strength was nothing to him.

"Asshole! Let me go! Where are you taking me!! Let me go!!"

I really have to thank God for letting her choose such a secluded road. Otherwise, with her hard work, some passers-by would have called 110. Chu Di opened the car door with great effort, took Lin Xiangwan's arm and asked.

After putting her into the car, Lin Xiangwan's body trembled, and then all her resistance movements stopped. She was like a dragon girl whose muscles had been cramped by a butcher, her body limply slumped in his arms.

It hurts.

A severe throbbing pain came from her heart, causing her body to curl up involuntarily. Lin Xiangwan's fingers clutched her chest tightly, as if trying to control the outbreak of pain.

When Chu Di saw this, he was shocked. He suddenly thought of how she looked sick in the boxing ring, so he quickly put his hand into her skirt...

"Pa." A clear slap sounded in the small car, and five red and swollen finger marks faintly appeared on the right side of Chu Di's face.

Lin Xiangwan subconsciously shrank her body into the seat. She did not forget that she had accidentally hit him in the face, and what happened as a result.

If that time was an absolute accident, this time it was her intention.

When she is so weak, what will he do in anger? Beat her? Or...

Lin Xiangwan didn't dare to think about it anymore. She tried her best to move back, trying to get out of Chu Di's control. However, what she didn't expect was that after the slap, Chu Di didn't get angry.

He was just stunned. Although there was a trace of anger in his eyes, he immediately regained his clarity. This time, he first grabbed her two wrists with one hand to prevent her from doing anything impulsive again.

Then he put his other hand into her lapel.

After groping for a moment, he found the medicine box in his inner pocket.

Opening the medicine box, he took out two tablets with familiarity, forcefully thrust them into her hands, and said, "Take the medicine."

The space in the sports car was very limited, so he could only hold her, and the two of them sat on the seat together. Lin Xiangwan's body twitched violently. Although he didn't know what was wrong with her, he could tell by the look on her face that she

Very ill.

Her heart, which had always been cold, tightened as she trembled.

Not sure whether it was because of the pain or the cold, Lin Xiangwan's hands kept shaking, causing the pills to bounce between her fingers, unable to enter her mouth.

Chu Di held Lin Xiangwan's hand tightly, then picked up the pills from her palm and forced them into her mouth regardless of her reluctance.

The medicine is very bitter. There is no sugar-coated coating. The bitter taste melts from the tip of the tongue and spreads along the taste buds to the brain.

Lin Xiangwan closed her eyes tightly. After a while, the medicine began to take effect and her heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

The car was very quiet. You couldn't hear the howling of the cold wind outside. You could only hear their breathing, rising and falling together. Chu Di's body was very warm. Lin Xiangwan rested on his shoulder and heard the sound coming from his chest.

There was a strong and powerful heartbeat, and suddenly I felt a sad feeling of vicissitudes of life.

The man she hated most in her life always appeared again and again at the most critical moments in her life, influencing her destiny.

They are like trees and vines in the forest, living and killing each other. In the end, you can't tell whether the vines entangled the tree or the tree collapsed and broke the vines. What's left is that both sides are hurt.

Is this their fate?

"Have you ever washed your hands? They're so dirty." Lin Xiangwan sneered maliciously as soon as she regained her composure. Although her complexion was still pale and not a trace of red, her whole face was filled with sarcasm.

Seems a little energetic.

Chu Di pursed her lips tightly, not impulsive because of her words. However, he kept clenching his hands, obviously trying to control his emotions, and talking to himself was like punching the air.

There was no sense of accomplishment. Lin Xiangwan curled her lips and stopped wasting her words. Sure enough, it was extremely irrational to compete with a man physically. She glanced at Chu Di, who was sitting upright, his arms holding her tightly.

Around his waist, his whole body exuded a faint toughness that was irresistible.

Lin Xiangwan knew that she couldn't run away for the time being, so she stopped wasting her efforts. Every time she got sick, it was like a narrow escape from death. She was so tired. It was her luck to survive this time, but what about the next time? Her luck,

When will it run out? Tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Next week? Next month?

If it weren't for the thought in her heart that supported her, and if it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't let go of Ye Nan, she would have long been tired of this kind of life.

"What disease do you have? How serious is it?" Chu Di broke the silence. He didn't know what Ah Dao said that made Lin Xiangwan suddenly furious, but he was sure that her illness must be related to emotions, and

She just hated him so much that she would rather risk getting sick than let him touch her.

Lin Xiangwan didn't want to discuss her body with him, so she simply turned her face towards the window, "I don't know. I've seen the doctor and the doctor said it's fine."

"When did you see it? Where did you see it? Will it always be like this? If everything is fine, why do you need to take medicine?"

"Are you finished yet? I am a doctor myself, don't I know my body?" Lin Xiangwan's voice raised an octave, and he emphasized the word "my".

Her condition has always been a taboo for her. Even if Shen Shijun wanted to discuss this issue with her, he had to find a time when she was in a good mood. Chu Di's endless questioning really touched her nerves.

Her voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet carriage. Chu Di clearly felt that with Lin Xiangwan's words, her body began to tremble involuntarily again, although he still had many questions in his heart that he wanted to ask her.

But seeing this situation, he chose to remain silent.

He just clenched his palms harder. There were two pills hidden there, which he had just stolen from her medicine box. It didn't matter even if she didn't want to tell her, as long as the ingredients of these two pills were clear.

, he also knew what was wrong with her body.

The two used silence as a weapon, and they were in a stalemate for a long time. Finally, Lin Xiangwan let out a long breath and said, "I'm hungry. The little food I just ate has been consumed."

"Sit still, I'll go buy it." There is a 7-11 across the street from the corner, with a red, green and white sign, which is very conspicuous in the dark night.

Chu Di got out of the car, walked a few steps forward, then turned back with some worry, pressed the electronic key and locked the door.

Lin Xiangwan sneered at his action. "I want to drink eight-treasure porridge, it's hot." She shouted at his back, and Chu Di nodded to indicate that she heard it.

The bottle of eight-treasure porridge is made of iron and cannot be heated in the microwave. Because it was a little late, there were not many customers in the convenience store, so the part-time girl was more patient with this very handsome customer and went to look for it.

I made a small bowl for Oden cooking and poured the eight-treasure porridge into it.

"Do you want anything else, sir?" The little girl asked with a sweet smile, making the cash register crackle.

Chu Di shook his head and said thank you to her. The beep in the microwave and the sharp siren of the car sounded almost at the same time.

When Chu Di ran out of the convenience store, he saw that Lin Xiangwan was no longer in the car. The broken glass shards from the rear window of the car, as well as a woman's stiletto high heel, were scattered on the spot.

The girl in the convenience store came out with a bowl of hot porridge, "Sir, your porridge..."

"No need, just pour it out." Chu Di replied without looking back, and his figure disappeared into the night.

*Lin Xiangwan limped to the end of the street with one bare foot, hailed a taxi, and drove around the city for a few times before she dared to ask the taxi driver to drive home.

The corners of his mouth raised slightly involuntarily, wanting to lock her down? It seemed that he wanted to choose a sturdier car.

Although she sacrificed her favorite fish-mouthed shoes, she felt it was worth it when she thought of Chu Di's face when he found out she had escaped.

When she entered the house, Ye Nan had just finished taking a shower.

As soon as the Xiangxiang Nuannuan child saw Lin Xiangwan coming back, she immediately rushed out of the room, ran to her side, and hugged her thigh without letting go.

Aunt Zhang took a big towel and chased after Ye Nan. When she saw Lin Xiangwan, she smiled and said, "I've been talking about you all night. When I just took a shower, I asked me why you haven't come back yet."

Lin Xiangwan picked up the child and kissed his tender little face, "Are you so good? Then mommy wants to reward you. Let's read two more pages of the storybook today, okay?"

Ye Nan nodded happily, buried her face in Lin Xiangwan's neck, and curled her long hair around her fingers.

She was happiest and least burdened when she was with Ye Nan. She was willing to make any sacrifice if she could protect Ye Nan.

Lin Xiangwan waited until Ye Nan fell asleep, then closed the storybook, left a night light on, and gently closed the door.

"Dad, he asked me today if he could start over. He thought I was asleep, but in fact I was not. I heard every word he said, clearly." He didn't turn on the light and sat in the spacious study.

On the thick sofa, Lin Xiangwan opened her palms. Through the starlight outside, she could see clearly that there was a portrait of Ye Zhong in her palms. In the photo, he was looking at her with a smile.

"If it were before, I would definitely not agree, but dad, I want to agree to him now."
