Chapter 18 chapter 18
The weather is getting warmer, and more and more people are walking on the street.
People slow down, hold hands with their families, and walk on the streets.Speak a few words from time to time, with a satisfied smile on his face.
Qi Lin and Nie Wanning stood at the door of Wonderland, Nie Wanning reached out and grabbed the corner of Qi Lin's dark gray coat, hesitating to go in.
Qi Lin turned to look at Nie Wanning, confused, "What's wrong? Didn't you keep arguing to see Lu Xiumu a few days ago?"
"That's..." Nie Wanning wanted to say something, but abruptly swallowed those unspoken words.
After the unpleasant conversation a few days ago, she really doesn't want to see Lu Xiumu's fake smiling face now.
But who knew that it was the first time that Qi Lin proposed to take the initiative to date, but the place was Wonderland?
But after thinking about it, wouldn't it be the same as being afraid of Lu Xiumu?
So Nie Wanning gritted her teeth and opened the door of Wonderland first.
Lu Xiumu was standing at the bar making milk tea, and Yu Zixuan was sitting on the side chatting with him.
The four of them ushered in such a sudden meeting, and the air froze slightly.
After noticing Qi Lin and Nie Wanning, Lu Xiumu stopped what he was doing and smiled at them as a greeting.
Nie Wanning threw the bag aside, and said in an extremely unnatural way: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Lu Xiumu delivered the finished milk tea to the guests at other tables.
Qi Lin opened the stool and sat beside Yu Zixuan.
Yu Zixuan obviously didn't want to talk to her, and silently drank the drink in his hand.
"You don't like Lu Xiumu, do you?" Qi Lin suddenly said out of nowhere.
Yu Zixuan turned to look at him, and immediately rejected it: "That's not true. Although Xiao Mu is my ideal type, he and I are just good friends."
After answering, as if he suddenly woke up, he stared at Qi Lin viciously: "No, why should I answer you honestly?"
Qi Lin snickered.
Yu Zixuan finished her drink quickly, then left her seat, and said to Qi Lin, "Tell Xiao Mu that my work time is almost up, so I'll leave first."
Qi Lin raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "No, you really don't want to stay with me, do you?"
While saying this, Yu Zixuan had already gone a long way.She turned her head and made a grimace at Qi Lin: "Yes, you guessed it right. I really don't want to see you and your girlfriend for a second."
Then she smiled at Qi Lin very proudly, opened the door briskly, and walked out.
Qi Lin smiled helplessly.
Yu Zixuan is really a person who says whatever comes to mind.
At the same time that Lu Xiumu came back with an empty plate, Nie Wanning also came out of the bathroom.
Lu Xiumu saw that the seat that Yu Zixuan sat in before was empty, and seemed to understand something, so he didn't ask further.
Nie Wanning picked up her bag again, and folded her right hand on the back of her left hand.She tried not to meet Lu Xiumu's eyes.
Lu Xiumu pointed them to a relatively remote corner, and said, "The seat over there has just become vacant, you can sit there."
"Okay." Qi Lin nodded.
"What do you want to drink? I'll send it to you later."
Qi Lin looked at Nie Wanning, and Nie Wanning blurted out without thinking, "Orange juice."
So Qi Lin repeated to Lu Xiumu: "Two glasses of orange juice are fine."
Qi Lin and Nie Wanning sat in that seat.
Beside that seat, there is a half-person-high landscape tree.
When everything in the world is covered in white, this bit of green really feels very fresh.
Nie Wanning reached out and stroked the green leaves, and her mood gradually improved.
Qi Lin's Adam's apple squirmed up and down. After deliberating for a while, he looked at Nie Wanning and said, "Actually, I'm looking for you today because I have something to discuss with you."
Nie Wanning was still playing with the blade in her hand, without turning her head, she said, "Well, tell me."
Qi Lin continued in a steady tone: "Nie Wanning, let's break up."
Nie Wanning's heart was shaken, and the green leaf was torn off by her just like that.
She held the leaf tightly in her palm until it was crushed by her like that, and green juice flowed out.
She felt her throat dry up and bit her lip.
"Why?" Her voice trembled.
Nie Wanning then slowly turned her head to look at Qi Lin, her eyes were covered with water vapor.
Qi Lin looked at her calmly and said, "Is this what you expected? I will break up with you. Didn't you guess it a long time ago?"
"I'm asking you why!" Nie Wanning unconsciously raised her voice.
Qi Linping looked into her eyes, and said slowly: "If I have to come up with a reason, it is that you are not my type."
"Is it because I'm usually too headstrong?" Nie Wanning asked after being stunned for three seconds.
Then he shook his head desperately to himself: "No, Qi Lin, don't you usually tolerate me?"
Qi Lin crossed his hands and put them on the table: "I tolerate you because I am your boyfriend, and I can understand all your behaviors as you acting like a baby to me. But I can't tolerate you like this for the rest of my life. I can only After dating you for a period of time, it is impossible to develop into marriage with you. So I think our relationship is as good as it is. "
Nie Wanning seemed a little dazed, not knowing how much she had listened to what was said just now.
After five seconds of silence, Nie Wanning asked, "Then who is your favorite type? Lu Xiumu? You think he is very gentle, right?"
Qi Lin frowned in displeasure: "Alright, why did you mention him again?"
Nie Wanning said aggressively: "Isn't it Qi Lin? You treat him better than me every time! Do you often think that if only Lu Xiumu was a girl, then you can be with him in a fair and honest way?" ?”
Nie Wanning knew that Qi Lin was really angry this time.He almost squeezed these words out between his teeth: "Nie, Wan, Ning!"
"Qi Lin, you don't know..." She originally wanted to continue, but thinking of Lu Xiumu's threat to her that night, she felt a little scared again.
Her father cherished that small company very much, which was the result of her father's hard work for half his life.
If he really angered Lu Xiumu, if he was determined...she wouldn't dare to take that risk.
At this moment, Lu Xiumu appeared in her field of vision holding two glasses of orange juice.
He lowered his head slightly, showing a calm and easy-going look to anyone who saw him.
It was good that Lu Xiumu didn't show up, but when he saw him, Nie Wanning was furious.
It is said that 80.00% of Wonderland's female customers come for Lu Xiumu.Every day, there are always many female guests around Lu Xiumu who is working, asking to take pictures together.
But...you are all deceived by his appearance!
Nie Wanning roared in her heart.
She remembered how Lu Xiumu bullied her that day, and she felt even more resentful.
She was so angry that she lost her mind, and without thinking about it, she picked up the ashtray by the table and threw it at Lu Xiumu.
She just wanted to throw it on Lu Xiumu and let him suffer a little bit.But I didn't expect to throw it at Lu Xiumu's face, and the force was very strong.
The orange juice in Lu Xiumu's hand hit the ground and broke into pieces.And the carpet soaked up the poured orange juice in an instant.
Lu Xiumu's thin body swayed, but he managed to stabilize his body so as not to fall down.
Blood from his forehead trickled down his cheeks.
Lu Xiumu was stunned, Qi Lin was stunned, and Nie Wanning was also stunned.
All the guests were stunned.
Nie Wanning stood up and covered her mouth with her hands.
Some shop assistants surrounded him: "Little boss, little boss, are you okay?"
Qi Lin also rushed forward to check on Lu Xiumu's injuries.
Only then did Qi Lin roar at Nie Wanning: "Nie Wanning! What's wrong with you today!?"
Nie Wanning was so frightened that her shoulders were shaking, she finally cried.
"I'm sorry...I, I didn't mean to..." She had to support the table next to her to stand still.
Someone rushed to get the medicine box.
Lu Xiumu seemed to lose all his strength in an instant, and fell to the ground.
Qi Lin quickly supported him.
Lu Xiumu stretched out his hand towards his wound, and then put his hand in front of his eyes.
Blood stains.
Bright red blood.
Lu Xiumu felt that something was clamoring in his heart.
He stared at the palm of his hand, his eyes were reddish.
"Lu Xiumu." Qi Lin called him softly.
It took Lu Xiumu a while to react, and he looked at Qi Lin in a daze.
Qi Lin observed his expression, and asked cautiously: "I've wanted to ask for a long time, are you dizzy? When you were injured last time, I just saw your strange expression."
Lu Xiumu's expression at that moment was a little distorted.He shook his head: "I'm fine."
With that said, he stood up on the ground, took out a napkin, covered his wound, and walked to the bathroom.
His footsteps are still not very steady, step by step, walking very slowly.
The clerk who hurried out with the medicine box passed by Lu Xiumu.
The clerk stopped immediately and asked Lu Xiumu in a low voice, "Hey, boss, don't you need to treat the wound?"
And Lu Xiumu didn't answer.He went into the bathroom and locked the door behind him.
Other waiters started working on shards of glass and stains on the floor.
The guests present saw that there was nothing to watch, so they continued to talk about the topic they had just stopped.
Some people quietly looked at Qi Lin and Nie Wanning who were still standing there, guessing what their relationship was with the little boss of Wonderland.
Qi Lin glanced at Nie Wanning, turned around and was about to leave.
Nie Wanning grabbed Qi Lin's wrist and cried, "Qi Lin, don't go."
Qi Lin took a deep breath, turned around and patiently opened Nie Wanning's fingers one by one.He slowly spit out this sentence in an unquestionable tone: "Nie Wanning, we are done."
Nie Wanning just watched Qi Lin go further and further away.
She wiped her tears with her hands, but found that she couldn't finish it.
Lu Xiumu stayed in the bathroom for at least half an hour.
The light in the bathroom was always on, but there was no sound of running water or any other sound.
Qi Lin sat on the nearest seat and waited quietly.
Nie Wanning quietly left at some point.
After an unknown amount of time, the bathroom door was opened.Lu Xiumu came out, his hair already messed up.The blood from the wound had been stopped, and a scab had formed.
He walked to the small bar with a blank expression, grabbed a bunch of keys, and walked towards the door.
Even Qi Lin didn't seem to hear his call.
Qi Lin wanted to catch up, but reason stopped him.
Lu Xiumu just walked with his head buried.
He opened the door and walked on the busy street.
The clothes on him are very thin.But he hardly has the mind to feel the cold, he feels that his will is beyond his control.
Not right.
There was something so wrong with his body.
Ever since he saw the bright red blood, he seemed to have become abnormal.
He has only one thought on his mind now: to go home.
He wants to get home quickly.
He only felt that the scars all over his body were burning like fire. He desperately scratched through his clothes with his hands, but it didn't work at all.This feeling made him feel extremely unbearable.
He gripped his arm so tightly that he didn't even realize that his nails were digging deep into the flesh.
He wanted to cut those scars with a sharp knife, and he wanted blood to spurt out.
He wanted the feeling of being so awful to go away.
He walked quickly and was on the verge of falling several times.
But he couldn't stop, or he felt like he was going to go crazy.
After Lu Xiumu left, Qi Lin stayed in Wonderland, ordered a cup of coffee, but just put it aside, silent and did not speak.
His chest was filled with all kinds of emotions, and even he was overwhelmed.
It was the first time Qi Lin saw Lu Xiumu's distraught look today.
Lu Xiumu, he... all right?
A clerk who was about to get off work came out of the changing room, holding a coat in his hand, looked left and right curiously, and then exclaimed as if he had discovered something.
Qi Lin looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"
The clerk showed the coat to Qi Lin: "This is the coat of the little boss. He forgot to take it away. There is also his wallet inside."
The clerk slapped his thigh and hurriedly said, "No, I have to send it to the little boss."
Qi Lin raised his hand to stop it, and said softly, "I'll go."
The clerk hesitated for a moment, as if thinking about whether Qi Linzhi could be trusted.
But he still handed the coat to Qi Lin, and told him the address of Lu Xiumu's family.
"I'm sorry to trouble you. The little boss is not in a good condition today, and I beg you to take care of him." The clerk said earnestly.
Qi Lin nodded, and put the light-colored coat on his arm.After sniffing carefully, the smell of Lu Xiumu still remained.
With heavy steps, Lu Xiumu took out the key and opened the door of his apartment.
The room was dark, and the curtains were drawn so that even the moonlight could not penetrate.
It's a dull black, and it's a large area of black.This relentless darkness is overwhelming.
Lu Xiumu stepped in, took off his leather shoes, and threw them aside.
He recalled everything that happened today, and murmured: "I thought Nie Wanning could stay by Qi Lin's side for a while longer, but I didn't expect..."
Didn't expect the accident to happen so quickly.
He faintly felt that some things were out of his control.
