byChapter 28 Chapter 28
===========================
Friends who are close to Chen Zongqian know that he once had a fear of heights, but later he was able to take planes for business trips or take the elevator to his office on the 28th floor.The place where he lives is very high, and there is a large floor-to-ceiling window in the living room… It seems that this problem has been cured and no longer affects his normal life.
Only Chen Zongqian himself knows that the disease is still a disease and cannot be cured easily.Every time he experienced the feeling of weightlessness, he felt extremely nervous and sad, and was tortured both physically and mentally.
This disease is not born with it, but after something happens at a certain time, he goes astray and goes astray. The disease is a punishment.
Human memory is very strange. Some words can be forgotten as soon as they are spoken, while some things will not be forgotten for several years or ten years.For example, separation, life and death, etc., if you remember them too clearly, you will not be able to let go. If you don’t let go, it will be the most painful. The old Zen master said that he is a fool.
Only idiots have so much obsession, fear and pain.
Just like now, before Chen Zongqian left the station, he suddenly heard an ominous sound from behind him – the sound of iron sheets hitting the ground.
The world at that moment became upside down and abnormal. Human blood should not be cold, but Chen Zongqian’s whole body was terribly cold.He seemed to be dragged back to the original place. Someone let go of his hand and fell to pieces.The difference is that today he is underground, and his perspective has become closer and more intuitive.
The third floor is not very high, and the small awning set up downstairs gave Xu Qiaochuan a little support, so that he did not fall too hard.He didn’t pass out completely and still had some consciousness.He thought it should be different from Lu Xiaoyun.
People in twos and threes came towards him, and some people held his face.Xu Qiaochuan’s pupils were dilated and he couldn’t see anything clearly. He could only rely on perception to distinguish.
There were wounds on the body caused by Xu Jian, bloody holes from the screwdriver, and cuts made by the steel brackets… The bones must have been broken, and Xu Qiaochuan was a little numb.Compared to these pains, being touched is nothing.
But he still said: “Don’t touch me.”
Xu Qiaochuan’s breathing was shallow and slow, like a thin thread that was about to be broken but not broken.This tired body no longer has any strength and cannot resist or resist.
He only breathed out, and his words were not heard clearly at all.Xu Qiaochuan blinked his eyes and was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep. He didn’t care who was grabbing him or who was crying.
Xu Jian saw people covered in blood being dragged into the ambulance. Soon the people and the car disappeared, leaving him with the sound of sirens still making him feel like he was in a dream.The screwdriver fell to the ground. Xu Jian looked at the sticky blood, bowed and began to vomit violently.He just wanted to teach Xu Qiaochuan a lesson. Isn’t it natural for a father to teach a kid a lesson?Xu Jian suddenly remembered that that bastard had nothing to do with him anymore. He was not Xu Qiaochuan’s biological father, he was a murderer.
Climbing up from the roof next door and then climbing onto the balcony into the rental house, Xu Jian sneaked into the house and could no longer escape via the original route.The madness was over, but his mind was still dull and insensitive. He couldn’t figure out what he was doing.
The door was still open. Xu Qiaochuan didn’t close it when he came in. He wanted to leave from there.
But after walking only a few steps, several police officers broke in and Xu Jian was subdued to the ground almost instantly.With his hands behind his back and a pair of cold handcuffs locking him, Xu Jian staggered and was taken to the police car downstairs.
“No, it’s wrong… He jumped by himself, and I was wronged!” Xu Jian suddenly understood the current situation. It was different from the previous troubles and thefts. The label of murder would be enough for him to spend many years in prison. “You wanted to retaliate against me and jumped by yourself, please let me go…”
Whether he is innocent or not depends on the evidence. How can he let someone go at will?The police officer next to Xu Jian was so noisy by the crazy words that his brain hurt, and he said casually: “Then why does he want to take revenge on you?”
Xu Jian suddenly paused on the spot, unable to answer.
Apart from the law firm, the place Chen Zongqian has visited most in recent years is Cining Hospital, and he is more familiar with it than the community where he lives.Even though he was already so familiar, he still felt uncontrollably afraid.
Xu Qiaochuan was very unconscious when he was sent to the emergency room. He had a broken rib and numerous wounds all over his body.The one on the waist was the deepest and heaviest, and the sharp instrument was still embedded in the flesh when it was delivered.
His eyes were half-closed, and he looked very fragile and pitiful. There was no response to cleaning his wounds.Xu Qiaochuan was diagnosed with a mild concussion, and the doctor did not dare to give him anesthesia at will, so he received twelve stitches.
Xu Qiaochuan didn’t really react until he got the stitches. He looked in front of him blankly and subconsciously turned his head to hit Chen Zongqian’s eyes.As if he forgot this person’s name for a moment, Xu Qiaochuan didn’t know how to call him. He couldn’t call him brother.
Not wanting to use this title, Xu Qiaochuan suddenly shed tears.After being splashed with boiling water, he no longer cries, and rarely even sobs.But I couldn’t control the tears, and they would flow out of my eyes when they were full.Xu Qiaochuan cried silently, and his tears would flow slowly until they dried up.
Chen Zongqian’s hand was held tightly, but Xu Qiaochuan still had no strength to pull away.Fortunately, he thought, it was Chen Zongqian and not someone else, so he didn’t dislike him.
Chen Zongqian stuffed something into his hand. It was a square piece with a touch of human body temperature. After holding it for a long time, you could feel its essence being slightly cold.This jade was so slippery that he couldn’t hold it in his current state. It was Chen Zongqian who led him to hold it.
Xu Qiaochuan felt as if the person was kissing the back of his hand, and his lips were as cold as the thing in his palm. He didn’t feel disgusted, because the weak touch flew away like a butterfly.
He likes butterflies and hopes the butterflies can stay on his hand for a moment longer.Unable to speak, he saw Chen Zongqian holding that hand between his eyebrows, his posture looked like prayer and repentance, and he looked very pious.
After everything was dealt with, Xu Qiaochuan was transferred to the ward for observation.He fell asleep briefly, but soon awoke with a headache.Chen Zongqian was standing by and could feel any movement from him.
“You feel like vomiting, right? That’s what happens when you have a concussion.” Chen Zongqian helped him get up from the bed.
Xu Qiaochuan had a rib strap tied to his chest, and his upper body was not able to move smoothly. When he was lifted up, he suddenly relaxed and fell straight into Chen Zongqian’s arms.
Hearing him take a breath, he was afraid he might have hit his head.Chen Zongqian held up Xu Qiaochuan’s head worriedly, his skin feeling hot to the touch.The fever didn’t go away even after taking medicine. Chen Zongqian sighed and put his hand on his forehead for a while.
Xu Qiaochuan didn’t react at all, neither spoke nor moved. Upon closer inspection, he actually fell asleep against his own hand, which made Chen Zongqian feel sad.
After hugging him for a while, Chen Zongqian calculated that his actual age was twenty years old. Why was a twenty-year-old body still so thin and green?Xu Qiaochuan’s frame is very small, like that of a young boy who hasn’t grown yet.
“Child.” Chen Zongqian lowered his eyes and looked at him, knowing that he would not hear anything if he fell asleep, so he acted a little more boldly.Pushing Xu Qiaochuan’s sweat-drenched hair away from his forehead, Chen Zongqian could see that face more clearly. He was very well-behaved and very pitiful.Leaving a kiss between the eyebrows, their foreheads touched for a while.
“I’m sorry, I did something wrong again, I’m sorry…” Chen Zongqian apologized to him repeatedly. Xu Qiaochuan moved, but he still didn’t wake up, and there was only a faint sound of breathing.After confessing, Chen Zongqian finally made up his mind, “I will take you back when you wake up. My brother will never let you stay alone outside again.”
