Running Snail

Chapter 42: The boundary between love and hate

Wei Nan had a dream.

In the dream, she was still wearing a ponytail and Xiao Qing was by her side. Qi Juan had not cut her long hair at that time, and her mother was not sick.

The three of them left school with their schoolbags on their backs and went to the snack bar in front of the school to buy candied haws. Qi Juan said: "A few broken hawthorns are stringed together with broken bamboo sticks. What is delicious, are you two naive?" Xiao Qing He smiled gently next to him: "If we have a chance in the future, we should also go to the capital to eat a bunch of authentic candied haws." Wei Nan pretended to be senior and stroked her chin: "Eating candied haws is not necessary for the heroine in the novel. Is it a stage to go through?" Xiao Qing nodded: "Of course there are singing and recitation."

The three of them laughed together after speaking, holding hands and walking back, humming the popular songs at that time, for the first time.

At that time, "Meteor Garden" had just become popular, and the handsome combination F4 became the perfect prince in the hearts of many young girls. Qi Juan scoffed at this: "It's F4, it sounds like a fighter jet." Although she kept scolding, Qi Juan did. I especially like the song "First Time" they sang.

"Don’t look outside when you’re tired, dig me up, spit it out, you can’t understand that your friends are in trouble, who is still watching coldly, hold my palms for you... Yesterday will be replaced by today and tomorrow. Feelings will not be eliminated, care will always be there...Even if you and I are separated in the hustle and bustle, friendship will come as soon as possible..."

Those singing are still in my ears, but my friends are really lost in the excitement.

.

When Wei Nan opened his eyes, it was already in the afternoon, and the afternoon sun added a bit of warmth to his body. When he raised his head, Qi Juan still closed his eyes.

A large bouquet of flowers was inserted in the ward, and the room was filled with a faint fragrance. Wei Nan turned his head and saw Lu Shuang who was sitting on the chair next to him, holding a magazine, and looking down carefully.

"Didn't you go to work?" Wei Nan asked softly.

Lu Shuang put down the magazine, raised his head, stroked his hair leisurely, and smiled: "Students who don't skip class are not good students, and employees who don't skip work are not good employees."

Wei Nan smiled: "You are so arrogant, won't your boss fire you?"

"Don't worry, Zhou Fang's "Eternal Land", the brand of the technical director of the online game development department is still in my hand, it is not so easy to be fired by the boss."

"Well, you are really confident..." Wei Nan followed his words and praised him.

Lu Shuang nodded: "Appropriate self-confidence will make people more attractive."

"You are so attractive." Continue to boast.

Lu Shuangxiao: "That's natural, some people are born with charm."

"You really have temperament."

Lu Shuang stopped talking.

Wei Nan laughed: "It is also a very fulfilling thing to be able to talk about being an author with poor words."

Lu Shuang smiled slightly and said, "Some people have a natural temperament."

"...Okay." Wei Nan was defeated and looked up at the wall clock on the wall. The pointer had already pointed to five o'clock in the afternoon. "Are you hungry? I'll go shopping."

Lu Shuang said, "I'll go, go downstairs and pack a big bowl of rice noodles for you."

Wei Nan shook his head: "I have a card for the hospital canteen. There are discounts for meals, so I can buy meals." He smiled and got up and walked away.

After Wei Nan left, Lu Shuangcai touched his nose meaningfully and said in a low voice, "Although he is a bit lazy, he is quite frugal. He has the potential of a good wife and a mother."

.

Qi Juan opened her eyes at this moment.

Lu Shuang was not surprised at all, and whispered softly: "Are you awake long ago?"

Qi Juan didn't answer, but asked directly: "When did my mother die?"

"It is said that when he was rescued from the car, he had already..."

Qi Juan turned her head and looked out the window. It was dusk now, and the golden sunlight pierced people's eyes. Qi Juan squinted her eyes, and Lu Shuang got up and pulled the curtains close. Turning around, he smiled slightly: "Qi Juan, if you can't say anything in front of Wei Nan, you can leave it with me temporarily. I am willing to be a listener."

Qi Juan was silent. After a long time, she sighed softly, "At the moment the car crashed, I thought, if I died with my mother, would it be better."

The curtains were closed, and there was still a ray of sunlight coming through in the middle that couldn't be completely closed, hitting Qi Juan's face, just to show her lips without a trace of blood. The lips that opened and closed slightly spoke without warmth—as if they were telling someone else’s story, unwavering.

"Now I think it's good not to die. I still have a lot of unforeseen concerns, such as revenge." Qi Juan smiled and said in a very soft voice: "You don't know, I am the same father as Xu Zhiheng. A half-mother's brother and sister. After marrying my mother, that person was still licking flowers and weeds outside. When there was a child over there, he threw me and my mother away like trash." Qi Juan paused and raised her mouth "Furthermore, Xu Zhiheng is a son, and he can inherit his filthy estate when he grows up. If I were a son and Xu Zhiheng was a daughter, the ending would be different."

Qi Juan stopped suddenly, staring blankly at the snow-white ceiling, and constantly replaying the past scenes in her mind——

In fact, when he married his mother, it was just because her mother was alone and helpless in a distant country. Even if he dumped it, he wouldn't get into trouble, so it was a bully.

At that time, my mother was too innocent. She was tricked into having a baby at the age of eighteen. For a long time after giving birth, she played the role of a single mother and worked hard to bring herself up.

In my childhood memory, it is vague and there is the shadow of that person. Every time I come back, I will bring a lot of toys to me. There are beautiful dolls, building blocks, electric cars, and a large bag of novelties. Juan exclaimed with excitement: "Dad is so nice!" The man would smile and ask: "Xiaojuan, Dad is back, did you miss me?" Then he rubbed his face with his beard. Qi Juan squeezed his face and said disgustedly: "Itchy!"

What remains in my memory when I grow up is just the "itch" sensation that slightly stings my heart.

That was the only warmth he gave himself in childhood.

He left a divorce agreement for his mother. On the day he turned and left, 10-year-old Qi Juan had been leaning on the door to call his father, but he never looked back, just led Xu Zhiheng and the woman away.

Since then, Qi Juan's world has been distorted and turned upside down.

There is no father anymore.

My mother has been in poor health. When she gave birth, because there was no one around to take care of her, she fell into a lot of illnesses, but she has been working very hard to raise Qi Juan.

At that time, Qi Juan always thought that she should grow up quickly, and then she can work, make money, and make her mother suffer less, let her wear the best clothes and live in the most beautiful House, live the best life.

As a result, after the expiration of my internship, I finally turned to a full-fledged lawyer. This day I took my mother to celebrate...

Mom left forever.

Qi Juan always feels that she has been living in sarcasm all her life.

The father whom he liked so much as a child became the one he hated the most; the best sister in this life fell in love with the son of the person he hated the most; the day when he wanted to let his mother live a good life, her mother died. So much, so much irony, but let myself bear it. Sometimes I feel that fate is very unfair, but what else can I do except accept or accept? To die? Even now, I don't have the courage to die, because...for the sake of my own life, my mother has paid a lifetime of hardship.

That is kindness that can never be repaid.

A tear came from the corner of Qi Juan's eyes. Because of her head sideways, she quickly slipped onto the pillow, not even seeing Lu Shuang in front of the bed.

"I will live well, otherwise, I'm too sorry for my mother's hard work." Qi Juan tightened her fingers on the sheets, like a promise, and muttered: "My mother's ideal is to be a lawyer. It was because of me. She was not a lawyer when she was born, so I will show it to her. Her daughter will not let her many years of hard work in vain. At least she must live for at least sixty years before going to find her!"

Lu Shuang smiled and placed his hand gently on Qi Juan's shoulder, "The best you can figure out is that only by living well can the heavenly mother be at ease."

Qi Juan sneered: "You are really literary."

Lu Shuang helplessly: "You are too strong, I prepared a lot of lines to convince you, but I didn't use it at all, I can only pick a sentence to mean it."

Qi Juan smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about me. I can survive everything from childhood to adulthood. I'm already... used to it."

"You can think about it so quickly. It's really amazing. I admire you a little bit now." Lu Shuang smiled lightly: "If you can cheer up, I think Wei Nan will be very happy too."

Qi Juan gave a hum, and suddenly asked: "You like Nan Nan, right?"

Lu Shuang touched his nose: "Yes, did you see it?"

"Just your wolf tail can't I see it?" Qi Juan sighed lightly: "You like her so much, it's her **** luck."

"I fell in love with her, and I was lucky." Lu Shuang smiled: "Unfortunately, she likes Xu Zhiheng."

Qi Juan was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Shuang: "Do you know why I hate Xu Zhiheng?" Seeing Lu Shuang's silence, Qi Juan continued: "I hate him, not only his birth ruined me. The family, but also because... he completely inherited his father’s bad ailments. Nan Nan didn’t know that photos of women he had been with could be exhibited, and Su Minmin had a pregnancy abortion. How could such a man be entrusted for a lifetime? How can you... let the simple Nan Nan suffer for a lifetime like my mother..."

Lu Shuang frowned, "Perhaps, that's just his appearance, he should not be that bad."

Qi Juan rolled her eyes: "You actually speak for your rival in love."

Lu Shuang helplessly: "I don't want to, but I always feel that the people Wei Nan likes should not be too bad."

Qi Juan said coldly: "Anyway, I hope you don't give up Nan Nan. I didn't like you at first, but now it looks pretty pleasing to the eye."

Lu Shuang smiled, "I feel very honored to see me pleasing to the eye."

"Well, it's okay. It's not very pleasing to the eye, the kind that can barely be seen." Qi Juan nodded and continued: "Nan Nan, this guy is actually very good to cheat. If you coax her more, she will be upset. The tail came up..." Qi Juan said, stopping suddenly.

Following the sound of the doorknob turning, Wei Nan entered the door carrying the lunch.

After seeing Qi Juan, Wei Nan hurriedly threw the lunch to Lu Shuang, and rubbed his face nervously: "Xiaojuan, are you awake?" Putting his hand on his forehead to test the body temperature, he grasped Qi Juan's hand. "Is there any physical discomfort?"

Qi Juan glanced at Lu Shuang who was holding back a smile, and said coldly: "The whole body is uncomfortable."

"Ah?... I'll call the doctor to check on you." Wei Nan turned nervously and left, but was held by Qi Juan: "Okay, don't let those white-clothed angels come to toss me again, they toss me bones It's almost gone."

Seeing that Qi Juan's expression was normal, and there was no sign of the same bout as this morning, Wei Nan looked at Lu Shuang with some doubts, but the latter just smiled and nodded.

Wei Nan let out a long sigh of relief.

.

In the evening, Brother Fei Teng was on night shift again. Yuan Yuan said that he was guarding Qi Juan in the hospital, and Wei Nan was taken home by Lu Shuang to rest.

In a familiar room, the two were alone. Wei Nan felt very uncomfortable and a little nervous, not knowing what to say to him. In contrast, Lu Shuang was a little too calm, as if the strong kiss and confession that night had never happened, and his face still had the leisurely expression on his face.

"You go take a bath, and go to bed early after washing." After arriving home, Lu Shuang walked to the bedroom by himself.

Wei Nan hurriedly said, "Why don't you wash it first?"

Lu Shuang turned his head and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "You are welcome, right? Do you want to guess who will take a bath first?"

Wei Nan was embarrassed by him, and ran to the bathroom in a desperate manner.

After taking a shower and drying her hair, Wei Nan went to the bedroom and fell asleep.

I didn't sleep well last night, and today I was busy all day, coupled with worry, fear, and nervousness, all kinds of emotions made people exhausted. Wei Nan fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. So, after the vulgar bell of "Ten years later, I don't know you, you don't know me" rang over and over again, Lu Shuang finally kicked Wei Nan's bedroom with a calm face.

—— Wei Nan wrapped his hands and feet on the pillow, like a koala, sleeping position is really unsightly, but...cute?

Lu Shuang couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that she was already "contracted" when sleeping with her that day. She just stretched out her paw for a physical examination, and she didn't hang her whole body.

Lu Shuang went to the bed and "tipped" Wei Nan from the pillow, let her lie down, and then covered her with a quilt.

I grabbed my mobile phone and walked out the door. I glanced at the caller ID, which turned out to be a strange number.

International long distance, is it...Xu Zhiheng?
