Do not hesitate

Chapter 30

United Kingdom, London, lunch break.

After Xiang Qiantong finished counseling Gu Qing, she was about to leave when Gu Qing stopped her.

Turning around and responding lightly: "Is there anything else?"

"After the meeting in the afternoon, can I go for a walk with you?" Gu Qing seemed to have fallen asleep, and his voice was hoarse.

Xiang Qiantong shook his head, and said seriously: "Your current condition is not suitable for being too tired, rest as much as you can."

"Then have you had a good rest these days?"

Xiang Qiantong: "..."

"Since you're so unhappy, why did you leave?" Gu Qing sat back on the office chair and asked softly, "Aren't both of you being tortured?"

Gu Qing is someone who has experienced it, so he naturally knows that Xiang Qiantong's choice will cause pain for both of them.

It's just this pain, because I can't see it, I naively think that I can bear more, and the other party will feel better.

If it is two people who love each other, then the pain will not be shared, but will be intensified.

Xiang Qiantong stood there with her eyebrows lowered, without saying a word.It was as if countless complicated feelings and emotions were mingled in his chest, which almost exploded in pain at that moment.

Gu Qing looked at Xiang Qiantong, who was in a trance, and said, "I understand that you left before, but I would have done the same. It's just... I don't understand why you left so persistently this time?" Xiang Qiantong, who came to the UK for a week, is expressionless at best, and looks like a walking dead at worst.

In just one week, I lost a lot of weight.

Although Gu Qing admired her very much, and even hoped that she could stay by his side, he didn't want her to become like this.

Xiang Qiantong looked up at her, with a rippling in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Everything at first was like a dream. Since it was a dream, I would wake up naturally. When I woke up, I found... I haven't walked out of that place at all." Shadow, the experience of that year is for me..." Clenching his hands tightly, the words behind were choked in his throat.

Forbearing like her, Xiang Qiantong, who used to be strong and proud in front of everyone, actually shed tears in front of Gu Qing.

Gu Qing froze for a moment.

Xiang Qiantong wiped away the tears without a trace, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It's all over, you have a meeting later, I'll go first."

Following her words, Gu Qing could only nod his head.Looking at the closed door, she put her hand on her lips and frowned.

That year was not easy for anyone.

United States, Rehabilitation Center.

Si Luochen took a taxi and stopped at the door, walked in and found that it was much quieter than before.

Walking to the front desk, he said to the staff inside, "Is Miss Shen there?"

There was a female nurse standing at the front desk. Seeing Si Luochen's inquiry, she replied, "Miss Shen is not here for the time being. Another person in charge is currently here. Do you have an appointment?"

another one?

I remember that Shen Lue said at that time that she was half of the person in charge of the rehabilitation center.Thinking of Shen Lue's words that day, it seems that she has something to deal with and is not here.

Originally, I wanted to tell her about Wang Shaoke.He asked again: "Excuse me, is Jack there? I'm his counselor, Si Luochen."

When the nurse heard the counselor, she suddenly realized: "Hello, Doctor Si. I've heard about you. Jack is in the room. I'll take you to see him."

With the permission of the front desk, Si Luochen nodded in response with a very calm expression.

The nurse led Si Luochen for a long time before arriving at the door of a room. During the whole process, Si Luochen just felt a little strange. Today's rehabilitation center was too quiet.

After the nurse knocked on the door and pushed it open, Si Luochen saw that Jack was exercising. She knew that in the soldier's world, if she could move, she would never stop.

Seeing that Si Luochen changed from surprise to surprise, Jack put down the dumbbell and greeted with a smile: "Doctor Si, long time no see."

"Hi, Jack, how are you?" Jack approached and greeted.

The nurse stood aside and did not leave immediately, and helped Jack's room to be tidied up.

"I'm fine, thanks to your encouragement before, two days ago..." Jack glanced at the nurse, and said again: "My girlfriend came to see me, and she decided to stay with me and not let me face it alone. the rest of my life."

You can see the happiness that Jack can't hide.At this moment, Si Luochen admitted that she was very envious of Jack and was happy for him.

"really?"

"There's another piece of good news." While talking, she climbed onto the wheelchair beside her with all her might, and Si Luochen didn't help the whole time.

She knew Jack could do it himself, he didn't need pity.

"What's the good news?"

"The person in charge here plans to arrange for me to have a mechanical prosthetic operation. If it succeeds, I can walk like a normal person." There are so many good things these days, Jack is smiling from ear to ear, as if he was a naive old man. boy.

"Oh? Is it Miss Shen?"

"It's another person in charge." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the nurse who was about to leave, and he said, "Thanks for your hard work."

The nurse turned and smiled, shaking her head slightly.

"Why are you free to come here today?" Jack asked while sitting in a wheelchair, looking up.

Si Luochen specially moved another chair to sit opposite Jack, and looked straight at him and replied: "Because I have to leave here for a while, so... I want to say goodbye to you. But seeing that you are in good spirits, your life has improved again. , I am happy for you."

"Going?"

"Well, I think more professional doctors will come here in the future, so...you don't have to worry." Si Luochen said.

Jack shook his head: "I like to communicate with Doctor Si. It has nothing to do with your professionalism, but I think it's easy to chat with you." In the soldier's world, conversations are always so direct, which makes Si Luochen a little unnatural.

"Jack, leave here to live a normal life. During this period, I hope you can learn more about social survival skills." Si Luochen took out a pen and paper, wrote his own email, and said, "Although I'm not here, but you can always contact me by email. If there is anything I need to do, you can always reach me, and I will do my best to help you."

Jack smiled and nodded his thanks, took the paper, but couldn't hold it firmly, and the paper slipped to the ground like fallen leaves.Seeing this, Si Luochen got up and bent down to pick it up, but heard a whisper in his ear: "Go quickly."

Si Luochen froze, blinked, then picked up the blank paper and handed it to Jack.He said calmly: "This is my email, please feel free to contact me if you need it."

"I know, won't Dr. Si stay a little longer? My girlfriend may come later, and I really want to introduce you to each other." Jack laughed.

Seeing this, Si Luochen straightened up. She knew that there was surveillance and bugging in this room.Smiling and shaking her head, she said naturally, "No, I still have something to do. Take good care of yourself and take care."

Jack didn't do much to persuade him: "Then take care, Doctor Si."

Walking out of the room, the door was gently closed.It was only then that Si Luochen realized that there was a dead silence around this floor, and the people here seemed to have disappeared.

Although he was a little scared in his heart, his expression was very calm.

I am very fortunate that Shen Lue once brought her here for a visit.So, no strangers.Walking through the long corridors, I went to the elevator and pressed the button. After waiting for a long time, the elevator did not come.

There are only five floors here, and the elevator doesn't come for a long time... The quiet and tense atmosphere around is so depressing that people can't breathe well.

Time seemed to be stretched infinitely every second.

"Da da da--"

In the depths of the corridor, there were crisp footsteps.

Nervous Si Luochen looked around, only to find an emergency passage behind him.I was about to walk over, but suddenly stopped...

Is it a coincidence or a trap?

Si Luochen hesitated for a moment.

"Da da da--"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they were about to come around the corner.

who is it?

In desperation, Si Luochen frowned and turned to push open the door of the emergency passage.Even if it's a trap...it's better than standing still and being slaughtered.

Five floors, four floors, three floors...

Although the emergency passage in the rehabilitation center is dark, the stairs are clearly visible.Si Luochen, who was wearing five centimeter high heels, took a few breaths, calmed down his nervous mood, and continued walking down.When turning to the second and a half floors, the side door was suddenly opened, and a hand was stretched out, ignoring Si Luochen's reaction, and quickly pulled her in.The strength was a little too strong, and Si Luochen, who lost his center of gravity, fell into a soft embrace.

It was too late to scream, but his lips were sealed with fingers: "Shh...don't make a sound."

This sound, this faint scent.

It's Shen Lue!
