Too thin-skinned and easy to lose a wife

Every time she comes back from the hospital, Yang Yi will take a bath, and the bath time is longer than usual.Today is no exception.

But today's situation is a bit special, Zhao Lu is outside.She deliberately turned the water up very high, thinking that if she could not hear the movement outside, she would feel more at ease.

After staying in the air-conditioned room for a day and a night, the skin on his body was dry and tight. Yang Yi was like a fish thirsty for water. Under the nourishment of hot water, his body gradually became alive.

She washed for a long time, and she didn't turn off the shower until the bathroom was covered with water vapor and had difficulty breathing.

The sound of the water disappeared, and she heard her "thumping" heartbeat, which was amplified several times in this cramped space.She pressed her heart, concentrated and calmed down, and found that there was no movement outside, and couldn't help thinking: "Is she gone?"

After drying off the excess moisture on her body and hair, Yang Yi put on clean clothes and walked out.

The sound of the door opening caused a huge commotion. Zhao Lu, who was sitting on the sofa, looked over in slow motion, and met Yang Yi, who had already taken a bath and was refreshed.

Yang Yi was stunned, and wanted to ask her why she hadn't left yet, but felt that this was too rude.She quickly calmed down the expression on her face, raised her hand to push back a strand of wet hair that fell on her shoulders, and looked away, looking for something to say: "Where's Fat Ball?"

Fat Ball was biting the straps of Zhao Lu's sandals with its sharp teeth. This guy was always arrogant and rude. I don't know if he resented Zhao Lu for snatching the treasure he accidentally found, and he showed no mercy at all.

Several times, Zhao Lu was scraped by its severed claws to his ankles, and she felt a little pain, but she didn't care. She looked down at her phone and said, "You washed for 7 minutes and [-] minutes."

Yang Yi was taken aback by her irrelevant answer. After all, their current relationship is very stiff, and it is really inappropriate to discuss such intimate issues as bathing.

The hot water washed away the dust all over her body, as if she lost a layer of camouflage props.Yang Yi was at a loss for what to do with her too calm eyes, so she planned to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and walked towards the bedroom.

The door of the bedroom was disturbed by the fat ball, and the door was half opened. Yang Yi didn't think much, she stretched out her hand and gently pushed the door open, and the door panel hit something on the floor, making a "crash".

Fat Ball pricked up his ears vigilantly, trying to carefully identify the direction from which the friction sound came from just now. After waiting for a few seconds, there was no movement at all.

Zhao Lu's foot hurt a little from the weight of half of Fat Ball's body. He bent down to pick it up and put it next to him.

Fat Ball curled up into a ball, raised his eyes to look at her, let out a "meow", and slowly closed his eyes.

The sudden meowing disturbed the people who were hesitating at the door of the bedroom. Yang Yi's body trembled. She quickly picked up the brocade box that had been knocked down on the ground, turned it over, and found that the things inside were missing. , she panicked, squatted on the ground and began to search.

This brocade box was placed in the drawer of the dressing table before, and she took it out on a whim that day, groped, watched, and meditated, but she didn't dare to wear it.Afterwards she forgot to lock the drawer and went out.

She put things on the table with confidence, thinking that no one would take them, but she forgot about the cat at home that looked lazy but was actually very troublesome.

While she was taking a bath, Fat Ball, who was full, saw the bedroom door open, ran in, jumped on the dressing table, and was surprised to find that there was a big-faced cat in the mirror.

Driven by curiosity, Fat Ball stretched out his paws and scratched on the mirror. He didn't scratch the big-faced cat out, but accidentally wiped off a square brocade box on the table.

With a "pop", the brocade box fell straight to the ground, split into two, and the necklace inside fell out.

The sound of objects falling to the ground is neither soft nor heavy, and it is easy to hear if you pay attention.But at that time, Yang Yi was taking a bath inside, and the loud sound of water covered up all the surrounding sounds.Coincidentally, Zhao Lu went to fetch water for Fat Ball with an empty bowl, but she was absent-minded, so naturally she didn't hear it.

The necklace that fell out by accident made the cat inexplicably excited. Fat Ball jumped off the dressing table and began to study the sparkling chain.

If it hadn't been cut off by Zhao Lu halfway, the necklace might have been bitten to pieces by that ignorant cat.

The bedroom space is not big, Yang Yi found it from the door, and didn't pull down a place, but it was strange that he couldn't find it.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on her body just after taking a bath, and Yang Yi almost lifted the floor. She found nothing and stood up in a daze.

"What are you looking for?" Zhao Lu's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Yang Yi's heart skipped a beat, and then he remembered that the guest hadn't left yet.

She collected herself, turned around, her lips moved.

"Are you looking for this?" Zhao Lu tried hard to maintain his superficial composure, spread his five fingers, and the necklace warmed by the temperature of her palm was exposed in front of the two of them.

The falling necklace swung a few times in mid-air, and the red diamonds inlaid on it flickered, making it hard to ignore the light.

Yang Yi's eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and he looked at the necklace without blinking.

There was less than five meters between them, and no one moved.

Zhao Lu didn't make a sound after showing her trump card. She was very confused now, and her outstretched hands gradually lost their concentration and began to tremble.She had to withdraw her hand, pinched the "Y"-shaped letter pendant with two fingers, and said slightly sarcastically: "This necklace looks familiar, it is exactly the same as the one I bought a year ago, but I clearly remember my Throw it away, why is it here with you?"

Yang Yi no longer cared about how the box fell to the ground, nor how the necklace fell into Zhao Lu's hands.She quietly hid the brocade box she picked up behind her back, and licked her lips that had become dry due to nervousness: "I..."

Zhao Lu didn't give her a chance to speak at all: "Don't tell me that you bought it yourself, and bought one that is exactly the same as mine? That's really a coincidence."

"..."

"If you didn't buy it, then you picked it up?" Zhao Lu pulled up the corner of his mouth, with a half smile, "Miss Yang, you picked up the things I threw into the trash can? Did you still wear them?" ? Don’t you think it’s dirty?”

Yang Yi opened his mouth twice to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao Lu at the fastest speed both times.She was defeated by Zhao Lu's barrage of questioning and sarcasm, so she had to shut up and hold tightly to the thing hidden behind her.

Zhao Lu seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he said, "I don't know how to answer? Okay, let me say it."

"This necklace is the one I bought, I threw it in the trash and you picked it up. Not only that, but you wore it for a while."

"Are you curious how I know? Your colleague said it. Yao Ling's roommate seems to be called Aya. She said that you once wore a red diamond necklace, but you stopped wearing it later."

That day, when I went shopping with my two little sisters to buy clothes, I overheard Aya mentioning Yang Yi's necklace. Zhao Lu immediately thought of the gift he had carefully prepared.She always thought that the necklace had long since returned to the garbage dump, but she never expected that it would be here with Yang Yi.

"Let me think about it, why didn't you wear it later?" Zhao Lu rolled his throat, pondered for a moment, and continued, "If you guessed right, it's because of me, right?"

"Because our company opened a branch in the west of the city, I was transferred here. We ate in the same cafeteria and lived across the street. We didn't see each other when we looked up. You were afraid that I would see that you still had the things I wanted to give you. .”

Yang Yi's face changed several times, and he pursed his lips tightly to keep silent.It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's just that she doesn't know how to refute it.She couldn't even decide Zhao Lu's current mood, whether it was anger or resentment...

After talking too much in one breath, Zhao Lu was tired. She closed her eyes and said weakly, "Now I only have one question."

Yang Yi, who had no idea how to deal with it, remained silent.

Zhao Lu looked straight into her bottomless eyes and asked, "Since you don't like me, why did you pick it up?"

The water on the hair penetrated drop by drop, and soon the clothes on the chest were wet, and it was coolly attached to the heart.After a long silence, it seemed that he could not even speak, his throat seemed to be stuck by something.Yang Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he said shyly, "Because... that's your intention."

The excitement she felt when she first saw the necklace was instantly extinguished by her understatement.Zhao Lu sneered and said, "My heart? My heart has long been ruined by you."

Yang Yi's heart was shocked, and she hurriedly lowered her head because of guilt.

Zhao Lu never knew that he could speak so vitriolicly, as if he wanted to turn the grievances of this year into a sharp sword and give her back all of it.

But why not happy at all?Her heart seemed to be pressed by a boulder, and the tip of her nose seemed to be twisted by someone. Her breathing became short of breath. She took a deep breath and asked unwillingly, "Yang Yi, why?"

As Zhao Lu's voice settled down, the brocade box that had been hidden behind her was finally crushed unbearably, and Yang Yi's heart was suddenly empty. She raised her head, met Zhao Lu's sad eyes, and said: " Let's talk."

Fat Ball occupies the middle position of the fabric sofa, it has fallen asleep, its body is ups and downs, and the sound of "snoring and snoring" is coming out of its throat.

It is like a dividing line, separating the people sitting at both ends of the sofa well.

Zhao Lu looked at the side face of the man covered by his hair, upset: "What are you talking about?"

Yang Yi looked at her sideways, her face was even paler than before after being washed by water, and she said without any ups and downs: "Do you still like me?"

"..." Zhao Lu was not mentally prepared at all, as if he was hit by a powerful bomb, he was stunned.

In such an inappropriate and embarrassing atmosphere, Yang Yi actually laughed and said, "I don't know how to answer?"

"..."

Before Zhao Lu's blown soul returned to its place, Yang Yi asked another question: "Have you ever hated me?"

Zhao Lu was caught off guard when the other party played cards unreasonably, and stared at her blankly with a dull expression.

Yang Yi asked himself and answered: "I must have hated it. Just now, when you questioned me with the necklace, you also had hatred, and I can feel it."

"I can understand very well. I can also tell you the truth, I have never forgotten you, but I also know that it is impossible between us. "

Before Zhao Lu had time to cheer, she was photographed off the cliff by her last sentence, and asked without thinking: "Why?"

"Don't you understand yet?"

Zhao Lu shook his head.What does she understand?Her mind is a mess now.

Yang Yi smiled wryly and said, "You actually understand, you just don't want to admit it."

Zhao Lu asked dazedly, "Admit what?"

"You don't actually like me very much, or you can't be sure what kind of feelings you have for me now."

"What did you say?"

"Zhao Lu, even without me, you have had a good year this year. You don't have to rely on me." Yang Yi sighed lightly, saying each word, "You and I both understand what the problem is between us. I have no face to face you, and you can no longer accept me as calmly as before."

There is more than a cat between them?With grudges in my heart, what future can I talk about?

Zhao Lu didn't know how she left in the end, she took the necklace away without saying hello, and held it in her hand, leaving ugly indentations on it.

After going out that door, she seemed to have forgotten what Yang Yi said, and wandered in the corridor like a walking dead. After entering the elevator, she realized that she hadn't packed her luggage.

Inside the door, Yang Yi stroked Fat Ball, who suddenly woke up, and said softly, "You must be happy."

After that, Yang Yi never saw Zhao Lu again for several days.She even wondered if Zhao Lu had moved from the opposite side, but the car was still parked downstairs in the community.

Yao Ling didn't ask her to go to the cafeteria to eat together recently, Yang Yi deliberately procrastinated every time, waiting for others to finish eating before leaving for the cafeteria.

There were only a few people in the huge cafeteria, and Yang Yi went to the only open window.The cooking chef saw her and greeted her familiarly: "It's so busy, you are the last one every time."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "I'm not busy, I just don't want to queue."

The master said: "There is no food tonight."

"fine."

Yang Yi, who is not picky eaters, took a plate and sat down at a seat by the window.

The food was cold, she stuffed it into her mouth like she was on an errand, and ate in small bites, very slowly.

At this time, two men in overalls of a travel agency rushed over and shouted at the top of their voices: "Master, master, don't close the stall, we haven't eaten yet!"

Yang Yi glanced at it and continued to eat his own.

The two men did not care about the leftovers after eating, they rolled up their sleeves and ate heartily.It was very cold inside, and the two of them had a dark face and a red face, sweating all over their bodies.

Yang Yi had a sensitive nose and smelled the smell of sweat wafting over there. She lost her appetite immediately and wanted to finish the soup and leave.

Suddenly a bell rang, and one of the men took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket to answer: "Hello?"

"Everyone was sent to the hospital, the driver and tour guide were seriously injured, and several tourists were also slightly injured."

"The leader has gone. I guess our car has been dragged to the traffic police brigade now?"

"The driver is Lao Liu, and the tour guide Zhao Lubai, bleeding all over his head, I didn't even dare to look at it."

"Okay, stop asking, I won't be able to eat any more."

The man ended the call with a few words, slapped his phone on the table and continued to gobble it up.

Yang Yi, who picked up the plate and was about to leave, paused, and walked over quickly: "Did you just say Zhao Lu?"

The two men focused all their attention on the rice, and were taken aback by her.

The man who answered the phone just now looked up at her. He saw that he looked unfamiliar, but he was quite pretty, so he didn't pay attention to what she said just now.

Yang Yi couldn't care less about being polite, and couldn't wait to say: "I just heard you say that the driver and Zhao Lu were injured."

The man rolled his eyes, glanced at the work card hanging on her chest, saw that it was not from his company, and stammered: "This..."

"I'm Zhao Lu's friend, please tell me what happened to her?"

The two men looked at each other, and the person who answered the phone looked around and said to her in a low voice: "There was an accident on the way back from the tour group. Our car collided with a truck at the Huaxi intersection. The drivers, Lao Liu and Zhao Lu, were seriously injured and are now being treated at Chengxi People's Hospital."

Yang Yi's face turned pale, and the blood all over his body seemed to be frozen.

The two men noticed her strangeness and said in unison: "Are you okay?"

"No...it's okay..." Yang Yi replied in a trance, left after saying "Thank you".

The sun was very strong outside, and the hot sun burned his skin, but Yang Yi didn't seem to feel the temperature.Like falling into an ice cave, she stood blankly under the sun for a while, then suddenly came back to her senses, trotted to the parking place, unlocked, opened the door, started the car, and stepped on the accelerator.

Something happened to Zhao Lu...

We were fine when we met a few days ago, why did it suddenly become like this?

Yang Yi realized later that the hand holding the steering wheel was shaking, she hammered it hard, and accidentally hit the horn.The piercing sound pierced her eardrums, and she couldn't calm down even more.

Chengxi People's Hospital.

Yang Yi often comes here, but every time she comes to see Aunt Lan, she has a heavy heart every time.But this time, she didn't seem to feel her own heart.She even ran towards the inpatient department habitually in a panic, woke up halfway, and hurried to the emergency department.

Yang Yi maintained a trace of sobriety and rushed to the service desk: "Hello, I would like to know if a person named Zhao Lu was sent here? She is part of a tour group. I heard that she was in a car accident and was sent here with her." Also came the driver and others."

"Wait a moment, I'll check for you now."

In just a few seconds, Yang Yi seemed to have waited for a century.Her forehead was covered with sweat, and her bangs were sticking to it, making her uncomfortable and ugly, but who cares?

"That's right, a person named Zhao Lu was sent by the travel agency. Are you her family member?"

"I'm her friend, how is she doing now?"

"It was covered in blood when it was delivered, and it is being rescued in the operating room now."

Yang Yi rushed into the elevator, and under the instructions of the nurse at the service desk, she stumbled to the closed door of the operating room.

The light in the operating room was on, and she looked at the words "in operation", her legs softened, and she squatted down slowly while leaning on the wall.

Time passed bit by bit. During this time, Yang Yi answered a phone call from a colleague asking her about some things at work.Her head was buzzing, and she didn't know what she said, so she said "I'm in the hospital" and hung up the phone.

The operation was still in progress, Yang Yi waited anxiously, remembering what the two men in the cafeteria said.

"Bleeding all over my forehead, I didn't dare to look at it."

There was also the phrase "covered with blood" by the nurse at the service desk, her eyes darkened, and she thought of the day Qian Ziyu died.

Yang Yi did not witness Qian Ziyu's suicide with her own eyes. What she saw was Qian Ziyu's body lying cold in the morgue, with shocking cuts on her wrists.That scene was her nightmare this year.In the dream, the terrifying blood buried her, blurring her vision.

The scene in front of him became unreal, Yang Yi blinked, and a tear fell quietly.The scalding liquid hit the back of her hand, she seemed to wake up suddenly, and suddenly looked up to the door of the operating room.

It's been half an hour, why haven't you come out yet?

She didn't dare to think about what would happen to Zhao Lu at all, tears gushed out continuously, she covered her face with trembling hands, sobbing silently.

The corridor was very quiet, and Yang Yi, who fell into self-repentance, was like a helpless child, with his back pressed against the cold wall, and his mind was blank.

She didn't know why she appeared here, and she couldn't think about why Zhao Lu's family could not be seen outside the operating room, maybe they hadn't arrived yet?

She didn't even know why she was crying. She suppressed her crying, but she couldn't control her tears.

She hugged herself tightly, buried her head between her legs, and expressed her remorse like a mantra: "I was wrong, I regret it, I shouldn't have left you..."

A nurse passed by, gave her a sympathetic look, and left expressionlessly.

Yang Yi confessed like a repeater, as if she could numb herself by doing this, she gradually became unable to hear the noises around her, and the blood in her body was still cooling down little by little.

She couldn't cry, her numb legs couldn't bear her weight, and when she was about to fall, a familiar voice drilled into her eardrums: "What are you doing here?"

If Yang Yi was struck by lightning, she suddenly raised her head and followed her reputation.

Through the hazy mist, she saw a perfectly intact Zhao Lu, standing upright, tilting his head and looking at her with a complicated expression.

At that moment, Yang Yi asked herself: Am I dreaming?
