A sudden accident interrupted the conversation between the two, allowing Xie Xingzhou to catch his breath.

His two hands were folded together, the blood from the fingertips of his right hand dripped down the gap between his fingers and landed on the jade plate in the other hand.

The blood flowed along the newly engraved bird's wing pattern on the jade plate, dyeing the jade plate like a bloodstone, and the excess dripped on the table, mixed with fine jade chips, the scene was shocking.

Jiang Muye watched Xie Xingzhou scratch himself with a carving knife. He was shocked and even more angry. He grabbed Xie Xingzhou's injured hand and cursed, "What are you doing! You don't want your hand anymore?!"

After a long period of numbness, Xie Xingzhou felt the pain. With a flick of his fingertips, he threw the carving knife and jade on the table.

He looked up at Jiang Muye's angry expression, and didn't move, just blinked.

"Look at me, does it hurt?" Jiang Muye asked him.

Xie Xingzhou still didn't respond, Jiang Muye became more anxious, raised his head, "Speak."

Xie Xingzhou's hands are used to hold paintbrushes, they are very precious, and he should not delay if he is injured.The blood was still flowing out, but he didn't seem to be afraid at all, and turned a deaf ear to Jiang Muye's anxious voice.

Perhaps scared.

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds. Jiang Muye took a deep breath, clicked his tongue helplessly, and dragged Xie Xingzhou to sit on the sofa.

"Forget it, stay still." He pressed Xie Xingzhou's shoulder and sat down, while he went to find the medicine box in the luggage pile.

I don't know when the povidone iodine in the medicine box ran out.

Jiang Muye came back with only a roll of gauze, and first wrapped it around Xie Xingzhou to stop the bleeding.

He frowned, and told Xie Xingzhou, "I'll go next door to get the medicine, wait for me here."

Xie Xingzhou still maintained the state of just being in a trance, wondering if he heard it.

Jiang Muye looked at him anxiously before getting up and going to Guan Cheng and Zhao Lin's room to look for medicine.

The wound wasn't too deep, and it was wrapped in gauze, so the bleeding had almost stopped.

Xie Xingzhou moved his finger joints, and the wound was immediately compressed, and there was a burst of pain, he hissed lightly, and regained his senses.

Jiang Muye didn't close the door after he went out, his back was in a hurry, looking a little anxious.

Xie Xingzhou only took one look and then looked away, and then left the hotel alone without waiting for Jiang Muye to come back with the medicine.

It was already dark, there were dim lights on the side of the road, and there were few people walking on the street.

Xie Xingzhou hailed a taxi casually, and after getting in the car, he closed his eyes and leaned on the back seat to rest. The driver asked him where he was going, but he didn't answer.

The taxi circled aimlessly around the center of the city for several times before he reported the address of the abandoned villa on the outskirts of the city.

When getting out of the car, the driver warmly reminded him, "This area is uninhabited and the surrounding area is not safe. Don't stay too long at night. If you need to call me, I can pick you up before the car is picked up. "

Xie Xingzhou turned his head and nodded at the driver, then turned and walked into the courtyard of Duan's house.

For him, there have always been people here.

The evergreen tree was still standing there tall and straight, the flowers he put last time had been replaced by Meng Siyi, and now there was a bunch of baby's breath on the table.

Xie Xingzhou stretched out his hand to touch the small flower buds full of gypsophila, but when he saw the blood on the gauze at his fingertips, he hesitated to withdraw his hand for fear of soiling the flowers, and turned around to sit on the swing under the tree.

There was a not-so-long backrest installed on the swing, and Xie Xingzhou leaned on it relaxedly, looking at the high wall of the opposite yard and the unknown vines protruding from the high wall.

He remembers being naughty when he was a child, always swinging on the swing with all his strength, and when he swung towards the wall, he always felt that he would hit his head, so he closed his eyes every time he was high in the air.

This is very unsafe, he is always scolded by Meng Siyi, but every time he closes his eyes and falls back to the ground, he turns his head and sees Duan Jize standing behind him, reaching out to protect him.

But now the person who always stood behind him was gone, and only this tree was left.

He hasn't been on a swing for a long time.

Xie Xingzhou imitated how he was when he was a child, grabbed the rope of the swing, stepped back on tiptoes, backed up to the starting point at the root of the tree, and then kicked hard——

The feeling of weightlessness followed, and he habitually closed his eyes at the highest point.

The time of falling back seemed to be frozen at this moment, and the unsafe feeling of weightlessness was densely crawling in his heart, making him breathless.

He really wanted to turn around and see someone stretching out his hand behind him to protect him, but this has become a luxury.

The mobile phone in his arms rang suddenly, and the ethereal ringtone broke the sense of confinement of time. Xie Xingzhou fell back to the ground safely amidst the intermittent ringtone.

It's Jiang Muye's call.

Xie Xingzhou grabbed the swing rope, stared blankly at the end of the bell, and then watched Jiang Muye call again.

Before Xie Xingzhou left the hotel, he told the front desk to tell Jiang Muye not to look for him. It has been two hours since he left the hotel, and Jiang Muye should have received the message from the front desk.

In the past, Jiang Muye would not have cared about him.

Now the phone is still ringing, Xie Xingzhou closed his eyes and pressed the answer button.

Jiang Muye's irritable voice came quickly, mixed with the sound of the off-road vehicle engine, "Xie Xingzhou, where are you?!"

Still with a fierce tone, Xie Xingzhou didn't speak.

Jiang Muye said angrily, "What are you throwing your temper at, you don't want your hands anymore?"

The injury on his hand was reminded, Xie Xingzhou took another look at the gauze, it had already stopped, but just now when he was swinging on the swing, a little blood soaked out.

However, his first reaction was not to check the wound, but nervously to see if the rope of the swing was dirty.

Fortunately, it wasn't dirty, Xie Xingzhou heaved a sigh of relief.

"Speak!" The other party was obviously impatient after not hearing his response for a long time.

Xie Xingzhou hung up the phone directly and pressed the mute button.

The surroundings are quiet, only the occasional evening wind blows the leaves above the head, making a rustling sound.

The phone screen kept flickering, Jiang Muye was still on the phone, but Xie Xingzhou's mood improved a lot.

He didn't care about his mobile phone, and sat comfortably on the swing for a while, enjoying the pleasure of weightlessness, which was extremely childish.

When he was finally tired from playing, he realized that Jiang Muye had made more than a dozen phone calls persistently.

He frowned, turned his head and looked at the thick tree trunk behind him for a long time, a thought slowly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Xie Xingzhou panted slightly, opened Jiang Muye's dialogue box, and slowly typed out a few words with his uninjured fingers——

[Let's break up. 】

But after hovering his finger over the send button for two seconds, he deleted it again.

Then type it out, then delete it, type it out again, then delete it...

Until the sound of the wheels of the car came from outside the yard, and a yellow light came in, Xie Xingzhou was startled suddenly, and he turned off the phone and did not send it.

The car quickly stopped outside the yard, and then there was a "bang--" door slamming, the sound of getting off the car, and the sound of footsteps...

At this time, who else will come here?

Xie Xingzhou jumped off the swing and looked nervously at the courtyard door.
