In the dark night, Jiang Hao hurried home. He may not be able to deeply understand the pain of Chen Jingye's loss of Yunqing, but he really saw Chen Jingye's decadence and crying.
Life can be so fragile.
At this moment, he just wants to give Qiao Xinwei a good hug. No need to say anything more, any words are pale, and only being together is the most practical thing.
When he got home, he opened the door and entered the house, but the house was pitch dark with no light at all. "Xinwei, Xinwei?" He shouted twice and turned on the light in the hall. No one was around.
"Xinwei..." He rushed into the room again, but saw no one. He suddenly became anxious. Where did he go? Silently.
At this time, Qiao Xinwei was watching TV with her parents at her parents' house. She didn't want to be alone on such a painful night.
"Hey, where are you?!" Jiang Hao's urgent and worried voice came from the phone.
"I'm at my mom's house, what's wrong?"
Jiang Hao breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "I didn't see you when I got home. I thought you had gone somewhere. Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm sorry, I forgot. Why did you go home? Aren't you with Chen Jingye?"
"Come on, Bin, you won't feel good if I come back to accompany you."
Qiao Xinwei smiled softly, "Mr. Ruan is interested." As she spoke, she had already walked through her room to the small balcony.
Jiang Hao said in amusement: "You know he has a heart, and so do I." He didn't know where to start with some words. He was no longer a boy of 17 or 18. The older he got, the less willing he was to talk about love.
"Then I go back now?"
"No, I'll pick you up."
"good."
Putting down her phone, Qiao Xinwei closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She has lived here for ten years, and this small balcony has recorded all her happiness and unhappiness in the past ten years.
The night breeze was blowing, and she felt a bit of coolness. She squatted down and started taking care of the hyacinths she had planted before. The flowering period of the hyacinths had passed. If they wanted them to bloom again, they needed to cut off the dying flowers. She pruned them carefully.
I hope it will bloom again next spring.
Suddenly, a figure behind her blocked the light in the room. She turned around and saw Jing Shang slowly walking towards her.
Jing Shang was wearing casual clothes, and his hair was shorter than before. He showed his full forehead and big eyes with thick eyebrows, and he looked more energetic. He put his hands in his pockets and said in a relaxed tone, "Jiang Hao is coming over?"
"Well, he said he didn't need to accompany his friend anymore, so he came to pick me up." Qiao Xinwei continued to play with the hyacinths with her head down.
"Xinwei, are you happy now?"
"Yeah." She lowered her head, her nose was sore, and her heart was sore. How she longed for Jing Shang to be her biological brother, so that she could talk to him when she was wronged.
"But I think you don't seem very happy. I watched you grow up, you can't lie to me."
Qiao Xinwei still lowered her head and played with the hyacinths. She said lightly: "Brother, my colleague who had an accident was my best friend. She died so miserably, how can I be happy?"
Jing Shang was startled. Well, he was just suspicious. He reached out and patted her shoulder, "Don't be sad."
"Oh, I'm okay. The sadness will be over in a few days. I'm afraid her husband and family will live in pain for the rest of their lives."
Jing Shang stepped forward, holding the railing with both hands, leaning forward slightly, he changed the topic, "Mom was depressed for a long time after you got married. Every time she sat in your room in a daze, I knew she was thinking about you again.
I’ll go home often and visit when I have time.”
Qiao Xinwei suddenly felt distressed. She couldn't be closer than her mother. She accidentally cut her index finger with the scissors in her hand, "Ah..."
"What's wrong?...Oh why are you so careless?" Jing Shang pinched her bleeding wound and pulled her to the bathroom. "Be patient and wash your hands first. Mom, get the disinfectant."
When I came out, Xinwei cut her hand."
The whole family was in a panic. Those who were looking for potions were looking for potions, while those looking for gauze were looking for gauze.
Xiang Ling's hands holding the tweezers were shaking, and the more she tried to use them gently, the longer it took.
Jing Shang was so worried that he grabbed the tweezers and said, "Mom, I'm here. You have to hold down to stop the bleeding. How can you do this?"
Jing Jingcheng was squeezed outside the door, looking at the blood flowing out, and said anxiously: "Can you stop the bleeding? If not, go to the hospital."
Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, Qiao Xinwei looked at everyone's anxious and worried expressions. Not to mention how warm her heart was, it was worth the pain. Her eyes gradually became blurry, and she felt in her heart that it was better to be at home. She often said that the Jing family
It's not her real home. She often complains with her stepfather because of her aunt. She always clearly categorizes herself and the Jing family, but little does she know that this is just her self-righteous self-esteem.
She came here when she was thirteen years old, and her stepfather raised her from thirteen to twenty-three years old, and then married her off gracefully. No matter how outsiders said she was an outsider, her stepfather never regarded her as an outsider.
In the past ten years, although he has not been very close to her, he has never treated her badly.
Before she got married, she always felt that she was an outsider in the family, but after she got married, she felt that she was a member of the family. Many things can only be understood after she gets this.
"Xinwei, don't cry. Mom knows it hurts, but she can only endure it. If you want to go to the hospital, you have to stop the bleeding. If you go to the hospital, you won't have to bleed dry." Xiang Ling also had red eyes and looked at it.
When her daughter suffers, the mother feels uncomfortable and wishes she could bear the suffering for her daughter.
Qiao Xinwei shook her head, tears streaming down her eyes in the blink of an eye, "I'm not crying because of the pain, but..." She looked back at her stepfather behind her, "Dad, Mom, Brother, I will
Do you welcome those who come home often?"
Jing Jicheng nodded, "Welcome, of course, this is your home."
At this time, the doorbell rang, and Jing Zhicheng went to open the door. It turned out that Jiang Hao had arrived, smelling of alcohol.
"Driving and drinking?"
Jiang Hao hurriedly said: "No way, I can call you. Dad is in good spirits recently. Where is Xinwei?"
"Oh, she accidentally cut her hand and was bandaging it in the bathroom to stop the bleeding."
Jiang Hao walked over quickly and saw Jing Shang holding Qiao Xinwei's hand and applying disinfectant carefully. The worry and tenderness in his eyes were definitely not like the friendship that should exist between brothers and sisters. Jiang Hao sighed in his heart,
You should quickly introduce a girl to Jing Shang.
"Do you want me to come?"
"No, it's almost healed." Jing Shang carefully applied the band-aid to her wound. If one band-aid was not enough, another band-aid was applied. "For such a big wound, it's better to go to the hospital and get a tetanus shot."
Qiao Xinwei waved her hand, "No, that's enough. It's not so troublesome."
"No, I have to go!" Jing Shang held her hand to prevent her from moving. With such a concerned look, he almost forgot about the existence of other people.
Jing Zhicheng and Xiang Ling's expressions suddenly turned bad. They were really worried that their sons would do something outrageous.
Jiang Hao felt bad, and he coughed twice, "Ahem, Xinwei, it's getting late today, and it's time for my parents to rest. I think we should go home first, and come back whenever we have time."
"
"Take her to the hospital!" Jing Shang looked at Jiang Hao persistently. He saw the wound, which was very deep.
Jiang Hao was startled, then nodded and said, "Okay."
In the taxi, Jiang Hao, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said, "Your brother still cares about you so much."
Qiao Xinwei heard his sourness, but she was afraid that he would deny being jealous. She didn't want to be thought of as a fool because of her self-righteousness. She said lightly: "Of course my brother cares about me. I am his sister."
Jiang Hao sneered, "Humph, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a sister. You think of him as a brother, but he doesn't think of you as a sister. You two are not related by blood."
Qiao Xinwei rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to argue with him, and turned to look out the window.
Jiang Hao said again: "If I don't come, it's his turn to take you to the hospital." As he said, he suddenly said, "Driver, go to the hospital in front."
"What hospital are you going to? I've wrapped it up. Is it interesting to go to the hospital and unpack it again? No way."
The driver was a little embarrassed. The young couple were having an argument and didn't know who to listen to.
Jiang Hao drank and became more tempered than usual, "Go to the hospital. If I say go to the hospital, go to the hospital. This will save you the chance of contracting any disease and your brother will have to blame me for not taking good care of you."
"Hey, Jiang Hao, why are you so unreasonable?!"
Jiang Hao took out his wallet, took out five heads and tossed them forward, "Go to the hospital."
The driver smiled and said, "No need to talk so much. You two have something to talk about."
Uncle Jiang Hao threw the money forward like an old man, "Master, take it, we will go to the hospital, and then we have to trouble you to wait, we have to go home."
"Hey, okay."
So, the taxi stopped at the hospital, and Jiang Hao pulled Qiao Xinwei out of the car.
The night was quiet, except for the constant chirping of insects in the grass on the roadside.
Jiang Hao dragged Qiao Xinwei to the emergency room. Qiao Xinwei frowned and pouted, extremely reluctant, "It's just a scratch. The bag has been wrapped. Wouldn't it be painful to re-examine again? There is no need at all.
.”
"Your brother told me to take him to the hospital for a tetanus shot."
Qiao Xinwei felt that he was so stubborn that he couldn't hold back ten cows, and he was stubborn, "Don't be unreasonable and do such childish things. Isn't it interesting?" He just gave the driver 500 yuan generously, which was obvious.
It was intentional, she felt uncomfortable looking at it.
"Where am I being unreasonable? I am worried about your injury. Is this wrong?"
Qiao Xinwei stopped and said angrily: "Jiang Hao, don't push yourself too hard. I don't want to quarrel with you! If you're not jealous, don't give me the illusion that you are. I'm stupid and I won't be able to tell the difference.
!”
Jiang Hao turned around and looked at her with red eyes, so sharply exposing his pretended generosity that he didn't know why. What's wrong with me? I obviously want to make her happy!
"My brother also cares about me. No matter what he does to me, he is still my brother. I..."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Hao suddenly hugged her, lowered his head and kissed her, swallowing all her anger and dissatisfaction into his mouth. He admitted that he felt uncomfortable, seeing that other men cared so much about her,
But he would only make her sad, he was scared, he was jealous, but he didn't dare to admit it, for the sake of his ridiculous manly face.
