Tang Chao looked at him, and finally understood the source of this innocent disaster tonight.

He stood up slowly, his sprained foot resting on the ground, aching.

Tang Chao pointed to the surveillance camera on the side of the road, and asked softly, "You don't intend to kill me, do you?"

Lin Xue watched him quietly, and smiled obediently.

"I shouldn't have done it in the first place. Those three men are the good material I arranged for you. Originally, I only used to watch in the car."

"I just watch from the car..."

He muttered, the expression on his face suddenly became ferocious, and the fruit knife in his hand suddenly stabbed Tang Chao: "You bitch!"

The tip of the knife reflected a cold light under the neon lights, Tang Chao turned sideways, narrowly avoiding it.Lin Xuean didn't stop, he kept waving his knife and screaming hoarsely.

"Because of you...he left me because of you!"

"You still dare to seduce him...you still dare to appear in front of me...why do you? Why!"

"Did you kiss him? You slept with him? Do you know..." Lin Xuean suddenly raised his voice, and rushed towards Tang Chao like crazy: "He is mine!!"

Tang Chao frowned, at this point, he didn't care about hurting his legs, turned around and ran into the store.The blood on the forehead covered the entire left eye with the movement of running, Tang Chao's vision became blurred, his knees suddenly bent, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Behind him, Lin Xuean withdrew the leg that was kicking at the crook of his knee.The crazy expression subsided, with a sick smile on his face, he approached step by step.

"I didn't intend to do this at first..." He leaned over, raised his arms, his deep eyes were illuminated by the reflection of the blade: "Tang Chao, you are the one who is looking for death."

The palms fumbled wildly on the ground, but the road was clean and there was nothing that could be used to resist.

Tang Chao didn't have time to get up, he simply gritted his teeth and laughed, cursing back word by word.

"Do it if you have the guts! When the time comes, you'll be fucking in jail, and I'll be in your man's arms!"

Lin Xuean's eyes immediately shot a fierce light, and his arm suddenly swung down, but the tip of the knife was still affected by Tang Chao's words, and it was deflected a few inches from the deadly point.

Tang Chao subconsciously closed his eyes to endure the impending pain, and seemed to hear the sound of a knife cutting through his flesh in a trance, but the expected pain did not arrive.

With Lin Xuean's exclamation, Tang Chao suddenly opened his eyes——

He Lianci had already arrived here at some point, with a cold and hard face covered with wounds, one knee resting on the ground, blocking in front of him in a protective posture.

The fruit knife stopped not far from him, and the tip of the knife was piercing He Lianci's left arm.

Hot blood gushed out, soaking the heavy winter clothes in no time.

Lin Xuean let go of his hands trembling, and took several steps back.Kneeling down again, he hastily walked to the front of Helian Temple, tears rolling down his face as if he didn't dare to touch it.

"He... Brother He. Why? I didn't expect..."

He Lianci frowned, and pulled out the fruit knife stuck in his forearm. The pain from the knife point gouging his muscles made his forehead twitch.

He said in a calm voice, "Lin Xuean, you are committing a crime."

I was stimulated by the expression of He Lianci, or the word crime.Lin Xuean's trembling and panic all calmed down, his tears stuck to his face, he lowered his head, and raised it after a while.

"Why do you say that about me?" He stared at He Lianci's face, his eyes were like a dry well: "You wanted someone else, you broke up with me..."

"Obviously you came to provoke me first!"

His voice was hoarse, echoing on the silent road in winter night, He Lianci looked at him, turned his head to the side and closed his eyes heavily.

He didn't look at Lin Xue'an anymore, leaned over and pulled Tang Chao up, and asked, "Call the police?"

Tang Chao stood up staggeringly, held the stabbed hand of Helian Temple, and said coldly, "Do you have any other solutions?"

The three men who were called over by Lin Xuean with money had fallen to the ground, and he himself was still kneeling on the spot, neither running nor resisting, silently, as if he had died after shouting those words that had been accumulated in his heart to Helian Temple up.

He Lianci silently took out his mobile phone, bowed his head and called the police.

Both of them were injured. After the police came, they went to the hospital first and went to the emergency room.

Tang Chao's forehead bled quite a lot, but the cross section of the wound was actually not that big. He didn't choose stitches, but just wrapped it with gauze.Ankle sprains are also easier to deal with.

The more troublesome thing was the forearm of Helian Temple. The blade penetrated deeply. After the preliminary hemostasis, a systematic inspection was done. If the tip of the knife deviated an inch, the ligament would be severed.A total of five stitches were stitched, and the doctor told me to rest.

After the wound was treated, the sky outside was already bright, and it was almost six o'clock. Both Helian Temple and Tang Chao stayed up all night, sitting tiredly on the blue plastic chairs outside the clinic to rest.

Tang Chao's hair was messy, and several strands of hair near the forehead were glued together by blood.The nurse wiped off most of the blood on his face during the bandage, leaving one or two sporadic spots on his cheeks.

The hospital is always busy, and there seems to be no rest from day to night.At this point, there are already shambling old people walking slowly in the hall holding the list, some are accompanied by young children and grandchildren, some are not.

The air was full of the smell of disinfectant, Tang Chao quietly looked at the Helian Temple next to him amidst one or two coughs and hurried or slow footsteps from around.

The other party's two long legs were open, and the coat was taken off to cover his belly, and he was only wearing a black sweater.His head was thrown back, the back of his head was pressed against the white wall, his eyes were closed wearily.

One sleeve was pulled up, exposing the forearm tightly wrapped in gauze.The folded long sleeve was darker than the other, exuding an inexhaustible smell of blood.

Tang Chao stretched out his hand and held He Lianci's injured hand.

The coat was taken off for the convenience of treating the wound, and the coldness of the south in early December was penetrating to the bone.He Lianci's palms were cold, and his fingertips were stiff under the sudden warmth.

He raised his eyelids and heard Tang Chao's voice.Gently, not sure what it means.

"...I can't drive a motorcycle anymore."

He Lianci turned his head to look at Tang Chao, gray tiredness still remained on his face, and hooked Tang Chao's left eye with his other hand.

Tang Chao followed his movements and closed his eyes, then opened them again.He Lianci's finger stayed in front of him, and the fingertips were stained with a reddish-brown solid, which was the dried blood left on his eyelashes.

Tang Chao leaned over and blew on his finger, the small blood spot was sent into the air by the airflow, and soon disappeared.

He Lianci quietly stared at his movements, and withdrew his hand.He asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you love me?"

Tang Chao looked at him with an unconscious softness in his eyes, and did not speak.

He Lianci raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "It will open after a while, and I will take you to play then."

Tang Chao listened and nodded.His hand was still covering the other side, and the back of He Lianci's hand gradually warmed up under his palm, he tightened his hands slightly, and turned his eyes to the neat white gauze.

After a long while, he asked, "Helian Temple, why block it for me?"

He Lianci leaned against the wall and closed his eyes again: "After all, you are a 'princess', you can't get hurt because of me."

Princess, this is what Helian Temple originally called him.Time has passed, and Tang Chao was a little startled when he heard this long-lost name.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere between them settled down, flowing with gentle silence.The sky lit up little by little, and the hospital shrouded in cold incandescent lamps melted into the skylight falling in from the outside, and it seemed to be warming up a little, not so unreasonable.

In the silence, He Lianci suddenly spoke.The corners of her lips curved loosely, and her hoarse voice was like a nocturne telling secrets: "...Tang Chao, I was once attracted to you, you know that?"

He spoke casually, but the tail tune was like waves hitting the rocks, hitting Tang Chao's heart, and the tremors lasted for a long time.

He remembered that rainy day, the first time Helian Temple was tricked by him, and he stayed on the top of the wind howling mountain.

Tang Chao fell onto He Lianci's shoulder, and pressed his hair against the other's ear.He covered his eyes with one hand, concealed all the emotions on his face, and said with a smile.

"I'm kind of... regretting choosing the hard mode now."
