A flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, and suddenly, the sky and the earth were completely white. In this dazzling white light, Huo Dongheng saw clearly Qiu Bailu sitting opposite him. There were still tears in her eyes, but her eyes were cold. He heard her
Said, "I love you? Why? Because you lied to me for so many years, causing my family to be ruined, losing loved ones, and becoming homeless, like a lost dog?"
After the lightning, the world returned to darkness, as if the end was coming and there was no life left.
The injury on his back seemed to start to hurt again. The burning pain passed through his muscles and reached his heart. The sharp pain seemed to pierce his heart.
He heard his own breathing intertwined with Qiu Bailu's rapid breathing. They were once so close, so close that you were one of me and you were of me, but he destroyed everything with his own hands.
"Xiao Lu..."
"Mr. Huo, I'm very grateful to you for coming back to see me. But it's just gratitude. Compared to the fact that I hate you, this gratitude is nothing. Please don't be sentimental. If you don't mind, I
I think it’s better for us not to talk. If we talk too much, we’ll make more mistakes, so as not to hurt the harmony.”
After Qiu Bailu finished speaking, she turned her body to the other side and stopped looking at Huo Dongheng. Huo Dongheng knew that if she really spoke again, she might really be able to tear away the last layer of politeness with him and throw it away.
He had never noticed that she had such a cold side before. The girl who smiled sweetly at him and no matter where he went or what he did, would always say to him, "Brother, I believe in you."
Where has she gone?
The night spread silently, and apart from the heavy rain, there was no longer any sound in the darkness.
They were sitting with their backs to each other, even though they were so close, yet they refused to give each other a warm embrace on this cold night. They were worse than strangers.
Qiu Bailu couldn't resist the sleepiness and gradually fell asleep. She slept very unsteadily. She turned over several times in a while. Huo Dongheng's back hurt as if someone was cutting flesh with a slow knife. When he saw her sleeping, he sighed softly and stretched out his hand.
Take her in your arms.
After all, he was the person who had been with him for more than ten years, and Huo Dongheng had already started to have a fever at this time. His body temperature was as high as a small stove. In his arms, Qiu Bailu slept much more quietly, leaning against his chest comfortably.
on his shoulder, head resting on his shoulder.
Huo Dongheng thought, he didn't know whether he had struck too harshly or not harshly enough, and the result was the situation he was in today. It was God's fault, but it could be violated. It was his own fault, and he would not survive.
Qiu Bailu didn't know what she was dreaming about. She murmured softly and moved slightly. She spread her hands and something fell from the arms she had been holding tightly.
Huo Dongheng took it and took a look. It turned out to be her drawing book.
This thick drawing book with hundreds of pages was specially ordered by Huo Dongheng from abroad. Because Qiu Bailu usually likes to write and draw in it and record all her creativity and ideas in it, so Huo Dongheng ordered it at once.
There are dozens of books, all stored in the small warehouse of the Qiu family. Qiu Bailu likes to look through these books when she has nothing to do. Looking at the filled pages, she feels particularly accomplished.
She had shown her little notebook to Huo Dongheng before, but Huo Dongheng only laughed at her like a child and didn't care about these things.
In fact, he knew what she drew on it, the way he tilted his head to take a nap, the curve of the corner of his mouth when he smiled, and his focused gaze when studying. At first, Qiu Bailu only drew Huo Dongheng, and he was the only one in her eyes. But he
In my eyes, she was the only one missing.
Now she wouldn't let him see it and hid it like a treasure. Huo Dongheng was very curious.
The mobile phone signal returned to normal at some point, so Huo Dongheng was not in a hurry to pull out the phone. Instead, he turned his mobile phone to illumination mode and carefully began to look through Qiu Bailu's small book using the light on the screen.
Huo Dongheng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the last few pages. They were the designs for Qiu Bailu's entry this time.
Huo Dongheng knew the questions proposed by the organizer and the questions Qiu Bailu won. He knew that Qiu Bailu wanted to succeed. He initially wanted to use this as a threat, but the direction of things later turned out to be a bit beyond his expectation.
Qiu Bailu's painting style is still similar to before, but the taste is different. She has grown rapidly in a very short period of time, and people can't help but admire her growth so rapidly.
She is indeed the daughter of the Qiu family, and her blood and bones have the indomitable character of the Qiu family.
Huo Dongheng looked at the picture for a long time. He raised his hand several times and put it down several times. He had a plan in his mind, but he didn't dare to put it into action. He was worried that if he really did it, he might
It will produce consequences that even he can't estimate, but if he doesn't do it...
Qiu Bailu's sleeping face was very peaceful. Huo Dongheng didn't know how gentle his eyes were when he looked at her. He wanted to lean over and give her a kiss, but he moved and then stopped.
She must not like her secretly kissing him like this, and he is not willing to do such a thing.
He wanted to kiss her openly, and he wanted her to accept it willingly.
After the typhoon raged along the coast all night, it left a city in a mess and left in style.
Qiu Bailu was woken up by the morning sun. She was a little confused at first, as if she didn't know why she was in this place. Then she suddenly thought of last night. The first thing she did was to put her hands into her arms.
Fortunately, the notebook was placed on her chest. Qiu Bailu felt relieved and turned her head to see Huo Dongheng.
His face was red with a hint of black, and his lips were already covered with bloody holes that had cracked due to dryness. With the slightest touch, drops of blood would drip from his lips.
Qiu Bailu tested the temperature of his forehead, and the touch under her hand was like touching a piece of hot coal. Qiu Bailu screamed in her heart that it was terrible. She took her hand back and took out her mobile phone from Huo Dongheng's arms. Thank God, she finally had a signal.
The ambulance roared away with the unconscious Huo Dongheng. When Qiu Bailu arrived at the hospital, she paid the bill and left quietly without stopping.
A few days later, Huo Dongheng woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ren Ying, who was shaking and cursing with anger, and He Anran, who was standing next to him with a fruit basket and was at a loss.
"Dongheng!! Are you awake?!" As soon as Ren Ying saw Huo Dongheng open his eyes, she immediately pounced on her. Her face changed so quickly that He Anran couldn't believe that just a second ago, this woman was scolding her like a dog.
Bloody head.
"Miss He, what are you doing here?" Huo Dongheng asked immediately after Ren Ying comforted her casually.
He Anran put the fruit basket on the small table aside, "Oh, well, our boss asked me to come. She said that Mr. Huo helped her once. She will remember it in her heart and thank her very much. She hopes that Mr. Huo will recover well and have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.
.”
"If she really wanted to thank me, why didn't she come in person?" Huo Dongheng seemed to laugh at himself, "I think she is here to send you to see if I am dead?"
"Hey, Mr. Huo, it's so heartless of you to say that. Look, she picked this fruit basket herself." He Anran felt a little regretful on his face. The typhoon was so strong that day, and someone would die if he was not careful. I pity this person.
Boss Huo almost lost his life for his boss, but his boss just didn't appreciate it.
"Miss He, has anyone told you that your lying skills are particularly poor?" Huo Dongheng said calmly, regardless of how red He Anran turned after hearing this.
"I've accepted the things. I'm not in good spirits today, so I won't let you talk. Miss He, please excuse me."
There was probably one in every ward with red and green fruit baskets. She didn't care about his kindness to her, so did he care about this inconspicuous courtesy?
After He Anran left angrily, Ren Ying immediately came over. The corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was very nasal when she spoke, "You like her so much? She will step on you! Huo Dongheng, I look down on you."
You!' "Oh, then go and see whoever you like, and I won't send you away."
Like a punch punching the air, Ren Ying's heart almost exploded. She grabbed her hair angrily, walked around the room several times like a trapped animal, picked up the fruit basket from the table, and threw it hard.
On the ground, "Huo Dongheng! Do you know who was with you these days when you were in a high fever and coma?! It's me! It's me! Qiu Bailu didn't even show up! She doesn't care about your life or death at all! But you
Why do you still care about her so much! Do you know that the more you act like this, the prouder she will be! You..."
"She is my woman, I care about her, what's wrong with her?" Huo Dongheng replied indifferently, turning a blind eye to Ren Ying's violent outburst, "It's you, A Ying, I told you, don't cross the line, I don't like that sentence
Repeat the words many times."
"How am I inferior to her?!"
"You are not as good as her in any way."
A heart was torn apart, it turned out to be so painful. Ren Ying covered her chest, her face paler than the white walls of the ward. "Huo Dongheng... why are you so cruel... don't you know how I treat you?
...You have no conscience..."
"I've always been like this, and you didn't just know it the first day. But Ah Ying, I didn't know you until the first day. Don't waste your time in useless places. There is a project to be tendered in Xiyuan City next month.
, you have been by my side for so long, it’s time for you to be independent."
"I won't go! You want to drive me away so that you can be with the woman named Qiu! I don't want to go!" Ren Ying cried like a mess. She had always been very strong and refused to cry easily. Now,
The pain was so severe that I couldn't bear it anymore.
Huo Dongheng didn't frown when he saw her crying like that, "It's okay if you don't go. You're older and your wings are stiff, so you don't need me anymore. In this case, I'll give you a sum of money, and you can do whatever you want, but
I can’t come to the company again in the future.”
"You want to drive me out of the company..." Ren Ying took a breath of air.
"You don't want to. If you want to stay, you must be obedient. I don't raise useless people."
