Through Thick and Thin

Lu Chuiqing and his subordinates sorted out all the materials that needed to be sorted out in the hotel, and after sending them back to the company, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.

Lu Chuiqing went back to her room, sent a message to Xiao Zhan asking where he was, and waited for a while but didn't get his reply, thinking that Xiao Zhan might still be chatting with Mr. Lin and the others, so she put down her phone and went to take a shower .

After Lu Chuiqing took a shower, he picked up his phone and checked, but there was still no reply from Xiao Zhan.

Coming from the commercial street in Dongcheng District, it should be almost here, Lu Chuiqing felt a little uneasy for no reason in his heart, he stared at the time on the phone screen, and immediately called Xiao Zhan.

What made Lu Chuiqing a little flustered was that Xiao Zhan's cell phone, which he would never get through all the year round, was turned off.Lu Chuiqing sat restlessly on the sofa in the room, knowing that she shouldn't be thinking wildly, but she couldn't help recalling the car accident she experienced on Chunhua South Road from Dongcheng District to Nancheng District.

Lu Chuiqing remembered very clearly that he was still listening to the music radio station while driving, and the last time he heard the radio host's time report was [-]:[-].

And now, it's 09:30.

Lu Chuiqing's palms were sweating a little, his heart was in a mess, he kept telling himself that Xiao Zhan would never go that way back to the hotel from Dongcheng District, and his fingers frantically searched for Mr. Lin's contact information in the address book .

After finding Mr. Lin's phone number, Lu Chuiqing hurriedly called, and the other party answered the call not long after. Before waiting for the other party to say hello, Lu Chuiqing asked nervously: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Your side Is it over? Has Xiao Zhan come back?"

"It's over, Mr. Xiao wants to go shopping at Liangguo Temple snacks in Nancheng, so I asked the driver to take him there. He should still be on his way now..."

Lu Chuiqing didn't hear what President Lin said later.He stood there in a daze, humming, his brain went blank, and his voice unconsciously trembled: "...Xiao Zhan, he went to Nancheng? He took...Chunhua South Road?"

Mr. Lin could hear something was wrong in Lu Chuiqing's voice, but he didn't understand it: "It should be Chunhua South Road, which is the closest road, what's wrong? Manager Lu?"

Lu Chuiqing felt cold all over, and said anxiously: "Mr. Lin, please call the driver immediately and ask him to take Xiao Zhan back. I have something urgent for Xiao Zhan, but I can't get through to Xiao Zhan's phone number."

Boss Lin didn't ask any more questions, but immediately agreed to let his subordinates call the driver. Lu Chuiqing waited anxiously. If he called now, he would definitely have time.

After a while, Mr. Lin felt a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Manager Lu, the driver's connection is temporarily unavailable. I'll ask someone to continue the call. I'll send you a message as soon as I get through. Don't worry."

When Lu Chuiqing heard this, he walked around the room anxiously. He held back his voice and said, "Thank you, please tell me the model and license plate number of the car that Xiao Zhan is in."

After getting Mr. Lin's answer, Lu Chuiqing said goodbye in a hurry, hung up the phone, changed clothes quickly, and rushed out the door.

He continued to call Xiao Zhan with trembling fingers, and the reminder that the phone was turned off again and again cut his heart like the tip of a knife, and the entire corridor of the hotel seemed to spin in front of him, making him feel His footsteps seemed to be stepping on cotton, and he felt dizzy for a while.

Lu Chuiqing suddenly understood, Xiao Zhan must have gone to help him buy his favorite snack, otherwise how could he go all the way to Nancheng at night!

Why is he mentioning that damn snack?Why didn't he tell Xiao Zhan in advance not to go that way?Even if Xiao Zhan felt baffled, it was better than...

Lu Chuiqing rushed out of the hotel gate, holding the mobile phone that repeatedly called Xiao Zhan's number in her hand, stopped a taxi at the hotel gate anxiously, told the driver to go to Chunhua South Road, her words were trembling with fear.

It will take at least 10 minutes from the hotel to South Chunhua Road. Lu Chuiqing asked the driver to drive as fast as possible. He listened to the notification sound on his mobile phone and looked at the neon lights speeding outside the window. At this moment, the city he was familiar with , The familiar scene, in his eyes, is as terrifying as a pitch-black monster.

Xiao Zhan's cell phone was always turned off, but Lu Chuiqing could only call it over and over again. He couldn't do anything else, and the news from Mr. Lin never came.He was so frightened that he could hardly breathe, his mind was blank, his back was cold, and the heart in his chest was beating like it was going to burst, everything in front of him was blurred.

At the moment when the time reached [-]:[-], Lu Chuiqing finally couldn't help crying hoarsely. He hunched his body deeply and held the phone tightly with his fingers. Tears kept streaming from his eyes, and his whole body Can't stop gasping and choking.

The driver looked at him worriedly in the rearview mirror, thinking that the young man had encountered some setbacks in his life, so he couldn't ask too much.

After a while, the traffic radio in the car began to broadcast a sudden and serious car accident. The accident happened on Chunhua South Road. A large truck out of control collided with a car, causing a series of car accidents and rear-end collisions with the vehicles behind. At present, the large trucks have started to catch fire, and Chunhua South Road has been completely blocked.

After hearing this, the driver said worriedly, "Young man, there was a car accident on Chunhua South Road, and the whole road was blocked. Do you still want to go there?"

Lu Chuiqing choked up and replied: "Go...Master, just put me down at the intersection."

When we arrived at the intersection of Chunhua South Road, the driveway extending forward was full of vehicles that were blocked due to the accident. Many passengers and drivers got out of the car and stood on the side of the road looking anxiously and helplessly.

After Lu Chuiqing got out of the car, he continued to call Xiao Zhan while looking for the next car, because he was not familiar with the model Mr. Lin mentioned on the phone, and it was night now, even if he knew the license plate number , it is also very difficult to find.

Lu Chuiqing walked straight along the road, passing through the overcrowded vehicles and the crowd around the vehicles, every time he took a step forward, his heart sank a little.Before he knew it, he had already walked nearly a kilometer, and he could already vaguely see a little fire that ignited in the night in the distance.

Where is Xiao Zhan's car... where the hell is it? !

Lu Chuiqing was trembling all over, he couldn't move anymore, he was afraid to go any further, he was afraid that the car he was looking for would appear at the end of the blocked road.

Lu Chuiqing began to see the scene of his car accident at that time, the broken glass, the deformed seat, the smell of gasoline and blood... He obviously almost forgot everything that seemed like a nightmare, obviously almost forgot .

At this moment, a notification sound came from Lu Chuiqing's mobile phone. As if he was pulled back from a nightmare, he wiped his eyes and quickly opened it to see that it was from Mr. Lin.

"Manager Lu, the driver has been contacted. He said that the car was blocked in the middle of the road because there was a serious accident on Chunhua South Road. My driver changed his number a while ago, and the subordinate I asked to call didn't know about it. In the end, I kept calling the original one, but I didn’t get through. I found out later, I’m really sorry. Mr. Xiao sent a lot of information on our mobile phone this afternoon, but the battery was dead. I told him that you were looking for him, and he The driver's mobile phone should be used to call you immediately."

Lu Chuiqing stared blankly through these few lines, and the square and square words came into view, but they didn't enter his over-stretched and scared blank mind, and he didn't see anything.

He collected himself and read it again. After reading it this time, a strange phone call came in suddenly.

Lu Chuiqing stood in the middle of the flashing car lights, and answered the phone in a daze.

"Xiaoqing?" Xiao Zhan's voice rang in his ears as always, "I heard from Mr. Lin that you are in a hurry to find me?"

Lu Chuiqing opened her mouth, but didn't say a word.

The fresh air, vivid colors, and noisy sounds around him seemed to slowly return to Lu Chuiqing's senses. He was holding the hot cell phone tightly, and the moment his heart let go was too heavy. It made him feel a sharp pain in his chest.

Xiao Zhan's voice made Lu Chuiqing couldn't bear it anymore, he squatted down on the side of the road, choked up and sobbed, tears fell down one after another, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

"Xiaoqing? What's wrong?"

Lu Chuiqing choked up and said, "Xiao Zhan...can you come to me? I'm on Chunhua South Road, near the first ramp..."

Xiao Zhan paused, seemed a little surprised that Lu Chuiqing came here directly, and said softly, "Okay, wait for me."

A few minutes later, Lu Chuiqing heard the familiar footsteps from a distance, and when he looked up, Xiao Zhan was walking towards him.

Lu Chuiqing stepped forward in two steps, and put his arms around his neck tightly. Xiao Zhan sensed that Lu Chuiqing's mood was not right, hugged him, and felt the unstoppable trembling of the body in his arms.

Xiao Zhan touched Lu Chuiqing's back. Mr. Lin didn't elaborate on the phone before, he just said that Xiaoqing was looking for him. Before talking to Xiaoqing on the phone, he thought Xiaoqing knew about his coming to Nancheng District, and then I heard that there was a car accident here, so I was worried.

But in the current situation, Xiaoqing obviously didn't start looking for him after the car accident, otherwise, it was a long drive from the hotel to Chunhua South Road, so he wouldn't have come so soon.

Xiao Zhan comforted in a low voice, "I'm here."

Lu Chuiqing hugged Xiao Zhan for a long time, and finally raised her head, her pure black eyes were still full of tears.He seemed to be starting to feel a little embarrassed, raised a hand to wipe his eyes, but did not let go of the arm holding Xiao Zhan.

Lu Chuiqing's voice was still a little choked up: "Why are you going to Liangguo Temple at night, I don't have to eat that stuff...you scared me to death."

Xiao Zhan held Lu Chuiqing's cheeks with both hands, and wiped the teardrops falling from the corners of his eyes with his thumbs. Every drop of Lu Chuiqing's tears fell into his heart, making him feel warm and painful at the same time.

Xiao Zhan whispered: "Sorry, I made you worry."

Xiao Zhan then used Lu Chuiqing's mobile phone to make a call with Mr. Lin, telling her that he was not going there anymore, and walked directly to the intersection with Xiaoqing to take a taxi back to the hotel, sorry for letting her driver make a trip for nothing.

The two walked to the intersection of Chunhua South Road, but there was still no traffic at all.Lu Chuiqing couldn't help but look back at the distance of the road, and tightened Xiao Zhan's hand again.

After the two returned to the hotel, Lu Chuiqing, who was both physically and mentally relaxed, began to feel a little tired. He lay sideways in Xiao Zhan's arms, still a little scared in his heart.

Xiao Zhan lightly kissed Lu Chuiqing's lips, and said, "What happened tonight?"

Lu Chuiqing stared at Xiao Zhan for a long time, and her red eyes seemed to be a little moist again.

Starting from this night, the following days will be a truly unknown and brand new life in his life.

For two full seven years and two choices, at this moment, Lu Chuiqing can finally tell himself that he has completely said goodbye to the past.

Xiao Zhan lowered his head, pressed against Lu Chuiqing's forehead, and said slowly: "Xiaoqing, tell me, don't make me worry, okay?"

After being silent for a while, Lu Chuiqing slowly said: "Xiao Zhan, actually... a very strange thing happened to me, would you like to listen to me?"
