C8 (1/2)
Meng Yunhan never would have thought that the phone number Yi Yuanze and Gu Jing had left behind would be her. She thought that Yi Yuanze had done it on purpose, but she didn't know that the first person Yi Yuanze had thought of at that moment was her appearance.
After being lectured by the police, the three of them finally came out of the police station. In the process, other than subconsciously glancing at the wounds on Yi Yuanze's face, Meng Yunhan did not spare him another glance.
Meng Yunhan and Gu Jing got on the carriage and left without even turning back, leaving Yi Yuanze standing alone in the cold wind. He was clearly in a sorry state at the moment, but he was not concerned about all this, on the contrary, he was worried about Meng Yunhan, because when he first saw her, her eyes were completely red, it was clear that she had been crying.
Gu Jing parked the car on the side of the road, unlocked his seat belt and looked at Meng Yunhan.
”What's wrong?” Meng Yunhan asked Gu Jing in confusion.
Without saying a word, Gu Jing pulled Meng Yunhan into his embrace and hugged him tightly. His heart ached for the girl who was clearly crying but was still forcing herself to smile in front of him.
Meng Yunhan struggled, but she held her even tighter, until she could only obediently let Gu Jing hug her like this.
”Do you know? ”Your current appearance makes me feel so much pain in my heart.” Gu Jing frowned, and said with a tinge of sadness.
Meng Yunhan realized that she had hidden sorrow and weakness in her heart that was seen through by Gu Jing at this moment. The smile that was forcefully forced out on her face could finally be withdrawn now.
”I'm sorry.” Meng Yunhan choked her sobs as she said these three words. She clearly had a million things she wanted to say to Gu Jing, but the last words she said were just these three words.
Gu Jing thought that Meng Yunhan was apologizing for worrying about her, and anxiously said: ”You don't have to say sorry, idiot, you didn't do anything wrong.”
It was precisely because of what Gu Jing said that Meng Yunhan finally couldn't hold back and cried bitterly. She clearly knew in her heart that her apology wasn't for the sake of Gu Jing's understanding.
”What's wrong? ”No more crying …” Meng Yunhan suddenly began to cry loudly. Gu Jing was a little frightened, and patted Meng Yunhan's back lightly as he consoled him.
As Meng Yunhan sobbed, she sobbed, ”In the future, don't ever get injured again …” The latter half of the sentence, Meng Yunhan, was really unable to say anything.
Gu Jing nodded continuously, and promised: ”Alright, I promise you, I won't let myself get injured again, I promise.”
Meng Yunhan gently nodded her head and buried her head in Gu Jing's chest, no longer speaking, but her soft sobbing never stopped.
From start to finish, Gu Jing had only hugged the girl in his embrace tightly, and gave her a chest to lean on. He felt that Meng Yunhan's sobbing had gradually stopped, and his somewhat hurried breathing had also calmed down.
”It's getting late, I'll send you home.” Gu Jing whispered into Meng Yunhan's ear in an extremely gentle and weak voice.
Even though Meng Yunhan's tears had stopped, the tears on her face had not dispersed. She moved away from Gu Jing's embrace, looked at his scarred face with her wet eyes, and said: ”Why did you fight with him?”
Gu Jing smiled and lovingly as he rubbed Meng Yunhan's hair, explaining, ”This is a matter between two men, and we will settle it ourselves. Don't worry.”
Meng Yunhan knew that the reason why Gu Jing was saying all these was because he did not want to tell his the reason, and there was no need to continue asking. She extended her hand and gently caressed the wound on Gu Jing's face, and said with a pained heart: ”Alright, let us find a pharmacy to buy some medicine first, I'll help you clean your wound.”
”It's fine, I'll just go home and apply some medicine. Don't forget, I'm a doctor.” Gu Jing held Meng Yunhan's hand in her own palm, as he lightly said these words, attempting to ease Meng Yunhan's current worry in her heart, ”Alright, it's really late, if I didn't send you home, your father would have called for someone already.”
Meng Yunhan was amused by Gu Jing's words, but in the end she could only nod her head and agree.
After Meng Yunhan and Gu Jing left the police station, Yi Yuanze also left, but he did not immediately return home. Instead, he went around the cold winter night by himself, his mind was in a mess, there were too many questions lingering in his mind, but none of them could be answered.
After Gu Jing sent Meng Yunhan home, he sat in the carriage and stared blankly at Meng Yunhan's windowsill. Only now did he have the time to quietly think back to what Yi Yuanze had just said to him, and it was also at this time that he felt an additional sense of crisis.
That night, what Gu Jing did not know was that when he was daydreaming while looking at the direction of Meng Yunhan's window, Meng Yunhan had been standing by the side of the window watching his car. Until he drove away, Meng Yunhan did not move her gaze away, that night was the most torturous night for Meng Yunhan, and there were many times when she wanted to immediately rush down the stairs and hug Gu Jing tightly.
But in the end, Meng Yunhan could only watch as Gu Jing's car disappeared into the night. Meng Yunhan, who had not slept for the night, washed up early in the morning, because no matter what she experienced, she still had her own things to do.
