Sima closed his eyes and let himself calm down slowly, calming down the hatred that suddenly surged in his heart, letting the resentment in his heart lighten little by little, leaving only the sadness in his heart. It was Hongzhu who took away his favorite love.
It's been thousands of years, I don't know where Yi'er has gone, but it still exists in such a hateful way, but he can't make it disappear immediately!
"Are you feeling better?" Chi Xiaowan's hand gently held Sima's hand, conveying the warmth of her palm. No one knew better than her, the feeling when facing the red candle, the pain, the despair, as if
Drowning, unable to breathe, unable to be rescued.
Sima let out a long breath, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Chi Xiaowan, looked at the understanding and concern in her eyes, and nodded gently, the restlessness in his heart slowly disappeared under Chi Xiaowan's quiet eyes.
She seemed to be calm at this moment, and Sima thought, did Yi'er really convey her concern for him through her?
"It's much better, thank you." Sima said softly with a smile, and gently shook Chi Xiaowan's hand with his backhand to express his gratitude.
Chi Xiaowan smiled faintly, let go of her hand, looked ahead, and said slowly: "When the red candle is in the glass cover, it has little effect on me. The most terrifying thing is that when it is not inside, it often
When facing it, I always have hallucinations and feel as if I have been stabbed in the chest by a sword, just like what you said in your story. Here, the stories and people who have experienced it seem to still have the same heart.
Still keep it here."
Sima looked sideways at Chi Xiaowan. Under the dim light of the old site, her facial features were very delicate, as if they were carved.
Chi Xiaowan smiled slightly again and said: "Later, I tried not to look at the red candle, ignore my own thoughts, and just take my time. Fortunately, although I experienced these hallucinations, as long as I left here,
I can recover in a short period of time, so I don’t care too much. From the initial fear to the curiosity now, I can go up and down by myself.”
Ouyang Qing's eyes swept across the two people, and there was an inexplicable pain in his eyes. Are they familiar? Is it okay to ignore his existence like this? Is it possible that Xiaowan doesn't treat him as much as he does Sima, who has just appeared?
?
"Isn't it very beautiful?" Chi Xiaomin focused all his attention on the red candle and said proudly, "When I found it, I thought it was the most beautiful one in the world. And it was also the weirdest.
, it can remain as good as new for such a long time, and it can still make people's hearts beat when looking at it. This is the wisdom of the ancients that cannot be blasphemed. Isn't it, Sima?"
Sima nodded, and he returned to normal, and said in a calm tone: "Yes, these pairs of red candles were made with enough thought. There is too much hate, too much love, and too much entanglement in them.
, if it cannot be completely released, if it cannot untie all the knots, maybe it will remain so 'beautiful' forever."
"It can cause strange hallucinations." Ouyang Ruixiang suddenly interrupted.
"I know." Sima said coldly, "It's best not to be curious about it. The results of curiosity are sometimes fatal. The air here is not good. I feel uncomfortable staying here. I want to go up. You continue, I will go ahead.
Go up."
"Sima," Ouyang Qing said suddenly, "I have something I want to talk to you about. Can you come up together?"
"Whatever." Sima said lightly, then nodded slightly to the others, including Chi Xiaowan, and walked up.
Ouyang Qing walked a few steps to catch up with Sima in front of him. When he reached the top, Ouyang Qing cleared his throat and said slowly and seriously: "Sima, what are your plans for Xiaowan? If you plan to chase her,
Let's compete fairly. If you are just playing casually, then don't hit Xiao Wan, she is a good girl and cannot afford to play your games."
Sima looked back at Ouyang Qing, smiled softly, and said slowly: "You like her."
"Yes, I have liked her since the first time I met her, and it has not changed until now. I know she has a crush on you, and I also admit that you are excellent, outstanding, good-looking, and good-looking.
Your career is very tempting, but are you really willing to continue dating Xiaowan and treat her seriously?" Ouyang Qing looked at Sima seriously.
"No one can predict what happens in the world. I can't guarantee anything, and I don't have to guarantee anything to you." Sima said indifferently, ignoring Ouyang Qing, got into his car, drove away, and quickly disappeared in Ouyang Qing.
In clear sight.
Ouyang Qing sighed softly, turned around, and saw Chi Xiaowan looking at him calmly. Seeing him turn around, without saying anything, he turned around and went back down again.
Chi Xiaohui woke up again and felt that her whole body was so painful that she almost fell apart. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't describe it. She was so angry that she just wanted to scream a few times to feel better!
"Xiaohui, are you awake?" Chi Sen watched Chi Xiaohui open her eyes and immediately asked with a smile.
"Dad," Chi Xiaohui's voice could already be heard, although it was a bit hoarse, "I don't want to marry that Lu Yurong. When he was well, I didn't want to marry him. Now that he's in a vegetative state, I don't want to marry him either. You must
You have to find a way to help me deal with this matter. I don’t want to get married, not at all, otherwise, you can let Xiao Wan get married."
"Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about?" Yu Xueqin said angrily, "Do you know how much your sister has done for you? She only thinks about herself in everything and never thinks about others. If you don't want to marry, just let Xiaowan do it.
Marry? Fortunately, you are still her second sister, so you can come up with such a bad idea! You don’t have to worry anymore, Lu Yurong is fine now, and their family will never allow you to marry into their family again. "
"Mom -" Chi Xiaohui pouted, her mouth still hurt a little, as if she was numb, "You are partial, you know you are facing Xiao Wan, you have disliked me and Xiao Min since we were young!"
"This has nothing to do with being partial or not." Yu Xueqin said unhappily, "You have just recovered from your illness. I don't want to argue with you. Let's wait until you recover."
"By the way, what's going on with Lu Yurong now?" Chi Xiaohui's voice sounded a little buzzing and it was not clear, "I seem to have heard you say this morning that he has become a vegetative state."
"You were hit too lightly!" Yu Xueqin said angrily, ignoring how Chi Xiaohui grinned on the bed.
Chi Sen looked at Chi Xiaohui and sighed softly. Fortunately, God blessed Lu Yurong. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to arrange the future of his daughter. He even thought about letting his daughter leave the city secretly.
When she left for another country, he had even planned how to arrange for her to leave through her old colleagues and subordinates. Fortunately, Lu Yurong was fine.
A week, a full week, Chi Xiaohui's injuries finally recovered.
For a week, Lu Yurong's family never showed up again. Chi Sen heard from Yu Hua that Lu Yurong's recovery was good, and it was really a miracle. Chi Xiaowan's timely discovery was equivalent to saving Lu Yurong's life.
If his life was not discovered in time, it might not have been possible to recover so quickly. Perhaps because of this, the Lu family never came to trouble the Chi family again.
Occasionally, Sang Xinrou would come over to see Chi Xiaohui, talk to Yu Xueqin or Chi Sen, and talk about Lu Yurong's situation. The news was getting better day by day.
Ouyang Qing comes here every day, usually chatting with Yu Xueqin and Chi Sen, and helping to deal with some things.
Chi Xiaomin and Chi Xiaoman rarely come here. The former is busy with the excavation of the old site, and the latter is busy with his own official and private affairs. Now that Lu Yurong is fine and Chi Xiaohui is slowly recovering, they feel that they are here
Or not, it doesn't matter much.
Chi Xiaowan, after she and Sima broke up at the old address that day, Chi Xiaowan accompanied her grandmother to visit an old friend of her grandmother's out of town. She stayed there for a week and just came back. She turned off her phone and blocked all outside news.
, including her own family, she wants to live a quiet life.
Today is the day Chi Xiaohui was discharged from the hospital. The day after Chi Xiaohui returned home, she accompanied her parents to the hospital to pick Chi Xiaohui home. Early in the morning, Ouyang Qing was waiting outside, preparing to pick Chi Xiaohui up in a car.
Discharged from hospital.
"I'm back." Seeing Chi Xiaowan come out of the room, Ouyang Qing immediately greeted him with a smile. After not seeing him for a week, Chi Xiaowan seemed to have lost some weight. Probably because of the fatigue of the journey.
Chi Xiaowan felt grateful when her parents talked about how Ouyang Qing had been helping to deal with things during this period. However, this had nothing to do with love. This week, she turned off her phone and cut off contact with the outside world, but found that she missed her.
Not because of Ouyang Qing's presence, she didn't even think of this person. Her heart only ached for a person who had little to do with her. She found that the only thing she had been thinking about was Sima, the only one who told herself over and over again.
, their interactions have nothing to do with love! She would often think of him inadvertently, with his warm smile and soft words in front of her eyes. All she thought about were his good things, and there was no trace of his dissatisfaction.
good.
"Thank you for taking care of my parents and sister during this time." Chi Xiaowan smiled and said softly. Her smile looked clear, but it made people feel distressed.
Xiaowan was not happy. Ouyang Qing's heart ached. Why was she unhappy? Why was there sadness and confusion in her eyes? "It's nothing. Anyway, I have nothing to do. Xiaomin is here at the old site, so my dad doesn't need it at all."
I was present, and I said that my presence would only add to the chaos. I was only sorting out some of the excavated things. Come on, let’s go, aunt and uncle, will you go too? Otherwise, Xiaowan and I will go, and you will wait at home.
With?"
"Let's go." Yu Xueqin liked the young man in front of her who had a gentle temper and cared very much about her daughter Xiaowan. She smiled and said, "That girl Xiaohui has a bad temper. You go, I'm afraid she'll snap at you.
Temper. She has not been in a good mood these past two days and is always looking for trouble."
Ouyang Qing smiled and said nothing.
When Chi Xiaohui was discharged from the hospital, her face was sullen and very unhappy. She must settle accounts with Lu Yurong properly. They lived in the same hospital. According to Sang Xinrou, she seemed to be almost better.
Now, she could go out for a walk, but there was no phone call, and she didn’t even show her face. She fully charged her phone, hoping to get a call from him so that she could get angry at him. He didn’t get any call, but she still
Yes, what's even more disgusting is that he doesn't answer her phone calls. Every time he calls, she always hangs up!
"Xiaowan, you're back!" Sang Xinrou ran up happily when she saw Chi Xiaowan, hugged Chi Xiaowan, and said happily, "You are so disgusting. You disappeared without even making a call. If
If my aunt hadn't told me, I would have thought you were missing? Why don't you turn on your phone and don't miss me? Huh, I bet you didn't miss me!"
"Yes, of course." Chi Xiaowan said with a smile, "I also brought you delicious food. You will definitely like it. However, I didn't bring it today. I didn't expect you to be in the hospital."
Sang Xinrou smiled happily: "I'm fine. I came with my mother to see Lu Yurong. He's almost healed and the injury on his head has recovered well. He's such a lucky guy. My mother said it was a disaster.
If you don't die, you will have good fortune. Haha, this kid is very arrogant now, shouting about what he will do after he is healed, it is simply——"
"What is that kid busy with?" Chi Xiaohui suddenly interjected, as if she didn't care and was just asking, but her expression betrayed her inner urgency.
Sang Xinrou was stunned for a moment, smiled awkwardly, and said: "I guess he ate while lying on the bed. During this period, his appetite was very good. He ate a lot every day. He recovered well and was not much like before.
The difference."
Chi Xiaohui seemed to want to ask something else, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked away.
