"Why is it you?" Yue Hang hurriedly checked her injuries, but fortunately they were all skin injuries.
Yue Hang pulled Lu Qingqing up from the ground, "It's so late, why are you here?"
"I came over to do something."
Yue Hang glanced at the police station opposite and wanted to ask something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"Where do you live? I'll take you back."
"Don't bother, I'll take a taxi back myself." Lu Qingqing refused instinctively.
"No trouble, I'm fine now anyway, just think of me as your driver."
After Yue Hang finished speaking, he opened the car door.
Unable to refuse the warm welcome, Lu Qingqing had no choice but to get in the car.
Along the way, the two of them didn't communicate much. What they talked about the most was Grandma Lu's condition.
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped at the door of Sheng's house.
Just as Lu Qingqing was about to get out of the car, Yue Hang saw the scratches on her arms and quickly grabbed her.
Then, Yue Hang took out the first aid kit in the car and briefly treated her wounds.
He applied the medicine very skillfully and looked very professional.
"You'd better come to the hospital tomorrow and I'll take care of it for you. Don't get wet for eight hours to prevent infection."
"..."
Sheng Mingxi was sitting in the car next to him. He saw Lu Qingqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and a strange man doing something in the car. They didn't get out of the car for a long time.
Tomorrow is the memorial day of Sheng Mingxi's parents. His parents were killed in a car accident twenty years ago, and the murderer has not yet been found.
So every year during these few days, Sheng Mingxi would be in a bad mood.
In addition, he had contacted the best international doctors for grandpa to perform surgery, but because of the discovery of the prenuptial agreement, grandpa was now unwilling to receive treatment.
He admitted that he was not calm enough tonight, so he sat in the car and waited for Lu Qingqing to come back, intending to have a good talk with her.
But unexpectedly saw this scene.
Running out to have a tryst with another man at night, no wonder the ex-boyfriend cheated on her, probably because he couldn't even slap her in the face.
Sheng Mingxi looked away, he was just a tool, why should he care?
In another car, Lu Qingqing thanked Yue Hang, opened the door and got out of the car.
She didn't notice Sheng Mingxi in the dark, pushed the door open and walked into the courtyard.
The light in the study room was on, and Lu Qingqing thought Sheng Mingxi was inside, so he paused when passing by the door of the study room.
She suddenly regretted that she should not have used this method to raise money for her grandma's surgery.
It is much more difficult than imagined for two strangers with no emotional basis to live together.
That night, Sheng Mingxi slept in the study again.
Early next morning.
Sheng Mingxi left early.
Lu Qingqing still made breakfast as usual and sent it to grandpa's room.
Grandpa was not in a good mood today. He kept sighing when he saw Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing thought that the old man must be angry with her and Sheng Mingxi because of the prenuptial agreement.
She wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to speak.
Just when she turned to go out, the old man stopped her.
"Today is the memorial day of Mingxi's parents. I hope you can go and accompany him. This child lost his parents when he was eight years old. I am the only old man who has been with him all these years. I can't stay with him for a few days now. Grandpa
I’ll leave him to you.”
Lu Qingqing was shocked.
He took a note handed over by the old man, which had the address of a dock.
"He goes out to sea to worship his parents every year on this day. It's not too late for you to rush there now."
Lu Qingqing held the note and saw Sheng Mingxi's lonely back standing on the deck before her eyes. Thinking of her parents whom she had never met before, she couldn't help but feel the same.
Anyway, grandma will need to take care of her until the day after tomorrow, so she should just give herself a holiday.
When Lu Qingqing found the dock on the note, the yacht Sheng Mingxi was on was already more than ten meters offshore.
Sheng Mingxi stood on the deck, with his back to Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing shouted Sheng Mingxi's name loudly, but maybe the waves were too loud. Even after shouting for a long time, Sheng Mingxi didn't respond.
The yacht drove farther and farther.
Lu Qingqing had no choice but to turn around and walk back.
The wind at the beach was very cold, so Lu Qingqing wrapped her coat tightly.
Suddenly someone called her from behind: "Lu Qingqing!"
Turning around suddenly, she saw Sheng Mingxi standing behind her.
"Grandpa asked you to come?" Sheng Mingxi's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't slept all night, his eye sockets were sunken, and he looked very haggard.
"The address given by grandpa."
But I thought of it myself. Lu Qingqing didn’t say the second half of the sentence.
Sheng Mingxi's Adam's apple rolled.
"Go back and tell grandpa not to worry about me."
Sheng Mingxi's expression was as cold as the sea breeze, which could make one's heart feel cold.
Watching Sheng Mingxi silently turn around and walk onto the springboard, his back was so deserted that it made people feel distressed.
Lu Qingqing chased after him without thinking.
But she is naturally afraid of water, especially sea water. In her impression, the sea is a terrifying existence.
She walked on the springboard shivering, trying to grab Sheng Mingxi in front of her several times, but then took her hand back.
Just as he was about to board the ship, a big wave hit and the gangplank shook violently.
Lu Qingqing said "ah".
Sheng Mingxi turned around and caught Lu Qingqing who was falling down.
Lu Qingqing was so frightened that her face turned pale and she hugged Sheng Mingxi tightly.
She dreamed countless times that she was being pushed into the sea. She struggled hard, but she only heard a woman's laughter.
This nightmare was like a shadow that had tortured her for so many years, so much so that she was terrified whenever she saw the sea.
Feeling that the person in his arms was shivering, Sheng Mingxi picked up Lu Qingqing.
The side of Lu Qingqing's face was pressed against Sheng Mingxi's chest. Listening to his strong heartbeat, she suddenly felt less cold.
The yacht started moving.
Lu Qingqing sat in the cabin and looked at Sheng Mingxi on the deck.
He faced the sea breeze and stared into the distance with empty eyes.
Today is his twenty-eighth birthday. Twenty years ago, his parents rushed back from other places to celebrate his birthday. When passing the cross-sea bridge, the car suddenly lost control, hit the guardrail head-on, rushed out of the bridge, and fell into the sea.
After that, the rescue team continued to salvage for several months, but found nothing.
Because of this incident, the young Sheng Mingxi became depressed and became ill. Later, he was sent abroad by his grandfather and gradually improved.
But from the day her parents had a car accident, Sheng Mingxi never celebrated her birthday again.
Sheng Mingxi was enveloped in deep sadness, as if he was the only one left in the world, so lonely and helpless.
Lu Qingqing walked over and wanted to comfort him, but when she saw his red eyes, she didn't say a word.
Maybe what he needs at this time is not comfort, but silent companionship.
Near noon, the yacht entered the sea area where Sheng Mingxi's parents had an accident.
The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger.
"Dad, Mom, my son is here to see you!" Sheng Mingxi shouted to the sea over and over again.
The shouting was heartbreaking and painful, breaking the liver and intestines.
"My son misses you so much, please come back soon!"
"Grandpa asked me to bring you a message, asking you to go home quickly when you have had enough fun. If you are late, I won't see you."
"..."
Sheng Mingxi shouted until his voice became hoarse, and finally he knelt down and cried bitterly.
