Chapter 53
Chapter 53
Xu Jinman pushed the door open, reached out and took off Shen Shu's pink bath towel from the shelf.
The frosted sliding door is not too big. Standing at the door, she took a light breath, then turned her face to the side, and moved inside by the light of the mobile phone.
Space beyond the dry zone outside.
The air in the bathroom is full of wet mist, the smell of vanilla and milk intertwined in the nostrils, and Omega's heavy breathing because of the pain in the ear.
Xu Jinman's heart tightened.
Walking to the approximate location, I passed the bath towel in my hand: "Is it enough?"
Shen Shu stretched out her hand and tried: "...Come a little more."
Xu Jinman moved in small steps, and someone took the bath towel from her hand. After a short while, she heard the person on the ground say very lightly, "Wait a minute."
"what happened?"
Shen Shu: "Wait a minute."
The voice was unnatural, a minute or two longer than the tone of the previous sentence.
I don't know if it's because of the current environment, but Xu Jinman could hear a little anger inside.
A dazzling white light came from Xu Jinman's cell phone, and Shen Shu's face was hot.
The bath towel is 1.2 meters wide enough, but she fell to the ground. In addition to her right ankle, her right elbow was also injured. It would take some time to sit on the ground and wrap the bath towel around her body.
The senses will be more sensitive in the dark, Xu Jinman's fingertips unconsciously tapped on the side of his legs.Once or not.
Another little moment.
The rustling of cloth behind him stopped.
"Ok?"
"Ah."
Xu Jinman: "Then I turn around and hug me?"
Shen Shu: "...um."
Xu Jinman turned around, bent down, and handed the phone to Shen Shu, then put one hand behind Shen Shu's back, and put the other arm through the bend of Shen Shu's leg to hug her up.
Xu Jinman's bath towel was half damp, and Shen Shu's pajamas were on the shelf above the sink.
Xu Jinman glanced up, his fingers landed on the back of Shen Shu's hand, and he raised the light of the mobile phone in her hand.
It's the satin gray nightdress, and the coat is there.
Then put the person on the sink.
"I'll take the nightgown and coat, you put them on first." Xu Jinman said, raised his hand, and lightly touched Shen Shu's knee with his leg, and after a while, he felt a little closer.
It was also at this time that the light in the bathroom suddenly came on.
Xu Jinman paused, lowered his eyes subconsciously, and leaned his arms and body forward slightly.
Shen Shu raised her head slightly, the unexpected light made her squint her eyes, her eyelashes cast shadows under the eyelids, her cheeks were redder than roses...
Xu Jinman's gaze moved down and landed on Shen Shu's equally bright red lips.
Then the eyelids were raised again, and Shen Shu's opened eyes glistened under the alluring complexion.
Xu Jinman's throat was a little itchy, and so were his hands.
She looked into Shen Shu's eyes, met her eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly lowered her arm, and poked Shen Shu's cheek with her fingertips.
Shen Shu: "...what are you doing?"
It was really soft.As soft as her body.Xu Jinman thought so.
Facing Shen Shu's questioning, Xu Jinman was a little unnatural. She quickly took off her nightgown and put it in Shen Shu's hands: "It's just a reward. Change it slowly, and call me when you change it."
After Xu Jinman finished speaking, he walked out of the bathroom. The heat in the bathroom just now was blown by the cold air from the air conditioner, and he felt breathless.
She let out a long sigh of relief.
What is she doing?
At the same time, Shen Shu's flushed cheeks and plump lips rolled in her mind... She thought of something, and licked her lips with her tongue.
...In fact, Shen Shu's lips are also very soft.
Wait for Shen Shu to change.
Hug the person to the sofa first.
Xu Jinman squatted down, holding Shen Shu's ankle with five fingers, carefully, as if holding some fragile treasure.
Xu Jinman's hands were soft, and the temperature was higher than usual.
Shen Shu looked down at her, a little distracted, but soon heard Xu Jinman say: "It's swollen, I have to go to the hospital."
Xu Jinman checked Shen Shu's injuries. The right elbow was fine, but the ankle was a little swollen.
Fearing that it might be a fracture, Xu Jinman didn't delay much, and took someone directly to the hospital for an X-ray examination.No bones were injured, but some ligaments were damaged, and a plaster cast was applied. The doctor said that he needed to rest for half a month.
When he was about to leave the hospital, Xu Jinman said, "Sit down for a while, I'll borrow a wheelchair for you."
Shen Shu: "...No need."
Xu Jinman lowered his head and said, "The doctor said just now, before the cast was removed, you couldn't use force on your feet, and you still want to jump out?"
When she came, she came with Shen Shu in her arms. Although she was wearing a mask, there were still many people around looking at them. She was a little embarrassed to see Shen Shu.
What she was thinking was, maybe Shen Shu could accept a wheelchair better?
Clearly her thinking was wrong.
Shen Shu gave up and stopped talking, as if acquiescing to Xu Jinman's meaning.
She just felt a little bit dead in front of Xu Jinman.
Xu Jinman stared at her reaction, and suddenly chuckled: "Or do you want me to carry you out more?"
Shen Shu glanced at her, staring a little bit.
After tossing around in the hospital, it was already one o'clock in the morning before returning to Star City.
Xu Jinman pushed Shen Shu to the bed in the bedroom, poured her a glass of water and put it on the bed, and said, "Go to bed early, my door is open, call me anytime. Or call me."
Shen Shu nodded: "Yes."
Xu Jinman looked down, bent down, and put her hands on her legs: "Miss Shen, you didn't fall down in the bathroom alone, and besides, only I know about it."
She said softly, with a coaxing tone: "There is nothing to be embarrassed in front of me, and I won't laugh at you."
On the contrary, she looked at the swollen ankle and felt a little distressed.
Shen Shu looked at the comfort on her face, her eyelashes flickered and said: "Well, you go to sleep."
Xu Jinman went to the bathroom first to clean up the bathtub, and went out to see the bath towel on the sink. There was a piece of pressed rose on the pink bath towel.
She picked it up, and the petals seemed to still have the body temperature of an Omega.
Ten minutes later, Xu Jinman was feeling drowsy when she heard a faint sound from the next door. She turned her ear and waited for a while to laugh, and heard the sound of a wheelchair rolling.
Go to the door.
Shen Shu was manipulating the wheelchair with her unaccustomed hands.
Xu Jinman went over: "Help you?"
Shen Shu: "It's okay, I can do it myself."
Xu Jinman thought for two seconds: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she stood still. Shen Shu's self-esteem was a bit strong, and this kind of situation would happen in the past few days. This kind of Shen Shu could handle it, and she didn't need to force Shen Shu to accept it.
After glancing at Shen Shu, Xu Jinman retreated into the guest bedroom.
Standing inside and waiting, after half a minute, Xu Jinman heard the sound of the wheelchair not going well.
Like some kind of obstacle.
Xu Jinman thought for a while and walked to the door of the bathroom.
The toilet is also inside the frosted glass door, so the wheelchair needs to pass over the frame under the sliding door. In addition, the seat of the sliding door is small, and Shen Shu and the wheelchair are temporarily confined in it.
Xu Jinman sighed inwardly, walked over a few steps, bent down from behind Shen Shu, squeezed Shen Shu's hand that was resting on the pusher with both hands, and placed it in front of her.
Then he dragged the wheelchair back with one hand.
Bending down to pick him up, Shen Shu: "Xu Jinman?"
Xu Jinman didn't answer, walked into the sliding door with the person in his arms, then sat down on the toilet: "Go on."
Shen Shu: "..."
Xu Jinman: "Don't worry, I won't cover the back and forth, you can jump out by yourself when you come back."
Shen Shu: "..."
After Xu Jinman finished speaking, he turned and went out regardless of the astonishment and shock on Shen Shu's face.
Xu Jinman walked to the door and touched her forehead uncomfortably. Seeing her in so much pain, she couldn't help but not move.
She seemed to dislike Shen Shu's distress.
Shen Shu's foot was injured, fortunately, it didn't affect her work.
In order to prepare well for joining the group next month, Tong Jia has arranged relatively little work recently, that is to say, she still needs to run for two days for the fitting.
Xu Jinman was busy taking over the half of the land in the western district, and picked up Shen Shu when she was free at night, and Tong Jia was in charge at other times.
Xu Jinman could feel that after that night, the relationship between the two had recovered a bit.
After resting for a few days, Shen Shu's feet are getting better. As long as the right foot does not occupy the ground, there is basically no big feeling.
It was Tong Jia who brought Shen Shu back that day. Xu Jinman came back late and smelled the smell of food as soon as he got out of the elevator.
Only when I entered the door did I find that the fragrance came from my own home.
The dishes Tong Jia bought were also made by her, four light dishes and one spicy chili fried pork.
The three of them talked, and the atmosphere was lively at first.
Xu Jinman can eat a little bit of spicy food, but he thinks it tastes good, so he picked it up a few more times, and after eating two bites of chili peppers, he gained momentum.
She picked up the ice-cold orange juice and drank most of it in one go.
It wasn't until I dropped the cup that I realized I had taken it wrong.
Xu Jinman: "Shall I pour you another glass?"
Shen Shu glanced at the remaining half of the glass, which was marked with orange juice.
Shen Shu said, "No need."
Tong Jia looked at the two from the opposite side, "It's so boring, I drink alone, and you have to sprinkle dog food on the opposite side."
"I didn't let you drink it." Xu Jinman picked up a shrimp for Shen Shu, and said, "There is only one bottle, so save yourself, don't drink too much later and send WeChat randomly."
Shen Shu looked at the shrimps that suddenly came out of the bowl, it wasn't the first time Xu Jinman brought food to her, but why did she feel that Xu Jinman was compensating for her orange juice?Inexplicably bent the corner of his mouth.
Tong Jia looked at the interaction between the two as if there was no one else present, cut and took another sip.
Xu Jinman and Shen Shu looked at each other. They could tell that they were in a low mood when Tong Jia came.
Xu Jinman simply asked, "Have you reconciled with Qiao Rui?"
"It's reconciled." Tong Jia said, "I don't know how to say it. Maybe we have broken up too many times. I don't feel like reconciling this time. It's really a seven-year itch."
Tong Jia also found that her tone was a little low, and immediately looked at the opposite side, laughed and said: "Hey, I'm a little used to it, it's okay, let's talk about something happy! For example, about making a lot of money in the future! Or you two teachers will teach you again. Can I have some boudoir secrets?"
Although she was smiling, Xu Jinman and Shen Shu didn't hear the real smile.
After Tong Jia left, the table was simply cleaned up.
After the two finished washing, the room returned to silence. Xu Jinman sat in the living room for a while, then got up and knocked on Shen Shu's door.
Shen Shu looked at her, and asked in silence for a few seconds, "Do you want to watch it now?"
"Well, let's see." Xu Jinman said.
Shen Shu didn't say anything else, watching Xu Jinman take out the letter from the cipher box.
The most common kind of yellow envelope.
Xu Jinman took out the letter paper.
Black and white.When the original body grew up, the handwriting was very delicate. Xu Jinman spent a few days learning her signature.
Before unfolding, Shen Shu couldn't help feeling nervous for Xu Jinman.
She didn't know what would appear inside, would it be scarier than those photos?
'Hello.
Maybe it's you who reads this letter, maybe it's me.
I hope it's me, but I know it's out of my control, so the following words are for you to read.
You've seen the pictures.
You should also know what I want to do, yes I want them dead.
But they might not be enough—
Since last year, I have learned some things from Xu Tao and my mother. The first thing I checked was Xu Tao, so I went to Qucheng.
I saw a person there, the wife of my aunt's queen, and I knew that the Xu family was not just a beast like Xu Tao.
Too bad I didn't get a chance to ask more.
I am a lunatic, everyone in the Xu family is a lunatic, their secrets may be more terrifying than I imagined...
I have a hunch that as long as the Xu family's secrets are found out, the Xu family will disappear completely.
But I'm not sure when you will completely replace me.
If you don't find it before I disappear, I hope you can continue.
Before I wrote this letter, I had already found a person to investigate. This person is Wang Zheng. If he is unsuccessful, you can go to Qucheng to investigate. There are all the secrets of the Xu family.
It doesn't matter if you fail in the end, don't forget March 3, the day that ends everything. '
On the bottom of the envelope is the date.
Xu Jinman did a rough calculation, and it was written a month before she married Shen Shu.
The words she said were much more normal than the original tone in the past, some of them were not far from what she had guessed, but some of them still chilled Xu Jinman's heart.
Shen Shu, who saw the letter next to her, even had a bad face.
She never knew this.
Looking at the words soaked in white paper one by one on the white paper, she clenched her fists.
Xu Tao is not just a beast.
Everyone in the Xu family is crazy.
March 3, the day that ends everything.
Every sentence exploded in her heart like a thunderbolt, especially the last sentence, which ended everything.
End is a very decisive word.Its implications alone are disturbing.
And the man who wrote the letter.
To her, this letter was no different from what a madman said.That person seems to have a premonition that he will disappear...
Thinking of Xu Jinman in the past, Shen Shu has unconsciously frowned.
The previous emotions floated up again, but the next moment, they were overshadowed by more important issues.
Shen Shu: "You went to your dad...Xu Tao's study that night, is that related to this?" She corrected herself.
Xu Jinman folded the letter: "Yes."
She was a little absent-minded, so she didn't hear the faint emotion in Shen Shu's words for a while.
She was thinking, what is certain now is that 0323 is a day of revenge, and that the Xu family in Qucheng is in the right direction.
Qucheng, this place that has appeared beside her since she passed through the book, but she has never seen it before.
"Xu Jinman."
Xu Jinman slowly came back to his senses, and went to look at Shen Shu: "I was thinking about how to tell you."
Shen Shu had already seen those photos, and even if there were no prerequisites for this letter, she could still get a general idea from those words.
There is no need to hide any more.
From when the name Wang Zheng appeared for the first time, to when she got the cryptex, on Lu Yun's birthday...
It is just to interpret some original body points as split personality.
Shen Shu became more and more silent as she listened.
In the end, Xu Jinman touched her arm: "Why don't you talk?"
Shen Shu raised her eyes and looked at her: "If it weren't for what happened that night, would you never have told me?"
Xu Jinman met her eyes, paused, and said honestly: "I don't want to drag you into such a big mess."
"That's why you don't want me to go to Xu's house."
"Yes." Xu Jinman said, "Shen Shu, I can't let you get hurt because of me."
She had already endured too much because of the original body's fault.
They looked at each other for a long while.
Shen Shu took the lead in moving away from Xu Jinman's eyebrows, and didn't speak for a while.
Before Xu Jinman left, she poured a glass of warm water for Shen Shu as usual. When the door was closed, Shen Shu called to her, with a clear voice: "I don't want you to get hurt either."
Xu Jinman smiled slightly: "I know, don't worry."
After returning to the room, Xu Jinman sent a message to Chen Yue, confirming that the man with the scar on his jaw was Wang Zhenghou, and asked him to continue looking for it.
But there has been no movement for a while.
Chen Yue's news came back quickly: [I'm sorry Mr. Xu, I have something to do these two days, but I already have some news, don't worry. 】
Chen Yue: 【Don't worry, I will definitely find someone for you. 】
Xu Jinman took a look: [I can find someone else. 】
The other end immediately sent a voice: "Don't, don't, Mr. Xu, I really have news, and I will go to look for it tomorrow. Give me a few more days, and I will definitely help you find Wang Zheng!"
Xu Jinman: [Speed. 】
This kind of person who has been hanging around on the street for a long time is capable of doing things, but he is inevitably a bit of social habits, just like walnuts, sometimes they have to be tapped.
Sure enough, Xu Jinman's warning worked.
When Chen Yue's video was sent, Xu Jinman was in a meeting, and she pressed mute. The angle of the video was taken secretly, and it lasted for more than ten seconds.
The background is in a small restaurant, the so-called fly restaurant.
The man was sitting at the next table, sucking on his noodles, and from the scar on his jaw, it was indeed Wang Zheng.
It was not a particularly important meeting, so Xu Jinman got up after making some arrangements.
【What is this place? 】
[A small county town in Rongcheng, what should I do now? 】
[Stare at him and wait for me to pass. 】
Xu Jinman waited for a while after sending the message, but Chen Yue didn't reply. Ten minutes later, she received a call from Chen Yue.
"Damn! This bastard found me, and he ran away!"
Xu Jinman: "..."
She didn't say a word.
Chen Yue promised: "Don't worry, I, Chen Yue, will find it if I say I will find it for you. I won't let you meet the person in person. I don't want the money!"
When the phone was hung up, Xu Jinman was a little disappointed. Seeing that he could know what he found in his hand, he caught nothing in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Xu Jinman thought that Wang Zheng was so afraid of people looking for him, which meant that Lu Yun threatened him very much.
The greater the threat, the more important the news about Qucheng in Wang Zheng's hands.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Jinman accompanied Shen Shu on the way back to the hospital after removing the plaster.
"Don't go back yet, ask Tong Jia to have a meal together." Shen Shu asked, looking sideways at Xu Jinman.
Xu Jinman said, "What's wrong?"
Shen Shu and Tong Jia meet almost every day, there must be a reason for eating specially.
Shen Shu lowered her head and turned off her phone, and Tong Jia posted a 'bad mood' on Moments in the morning.Shen Shu said: "Tong Jia's mood is not right these two days."
Xu Jinman: "What happened to her?"
Shen Shu said: "There seems to be another quarrel about Qiao Rui."
"Several times this month?" Xu Jinman said, "Then ask her if she's free."
"Ah."
Shen Shu almost just asked, the other end is ready to go, and she is still wondering where to go.
Wait for Shen Shu and Tong Jia to make an appointment.
Xu Jinman turned the car around and drove to the dining place in Wanhe Plaza.
After driving for a while, Xu Jinman suddenly thought of something: "Shu Shu."
There was a honking sound outside the car.
In order to make sure that Shen Shu heard her voice, she paused for a while.
"Ok?"
Xu Jinman continued: "Have you ever thought that when Tong Jia and Qiao Rui quarreled and Tong Jia saw our wife and we were opposite her, would she feel even more uncomfortable?"
Control group.
Contrast is harm.
Shen Shu: "...then I won't go, you go."
Xu Jinman: "...?"
Xu Jinman stopped at the traffic light, turned his head and laughed, "Shouldn't you be the one to go?"
Although she and Tong Jia had a good relationship in the past, but now Tong Jia and Shen Shu deal with each other every day and talk more, and basically have no contact with her now.
Shen Shu said silently, "I'm not as eloquent as you."
She is not very good at comforting people, but Xu Jinman is different, this is her strong point.
Xu Jinman blurted out: "I don't have this kind of strength for everyone."
After finishing speaking, he glanced to the side, and said, "Let's go together, in case she needs stimulation."
Shen Shu: "..."
A Thai restaurant.
The three asked for a small box.
Tong Jia's mood was not as bad as expected, and only after chatting did he realize that the two of them were fine again.
"In the afternoon, she sent me a bouquet of roses and apologized to me." Tong Jiachao and the two laughed and said, "Although I'm still a little angry, I'm willing to believe her."
Xu Jinman took a spoonful of curry soup and asked, "Why are you arguing?"
Tong Jia: "That day I accidentally saw her chatting with a girl who was a bit ambiguous. I asked her directly, and then... a quarrel broke out. I never looked at her mobile phone, but I was very sensitive that day, but it's okay ,it's good now."
Tong Jia's words opened up, Xu Jinman and Shen Shu listened more often, Tong Jia actually needed a chance to talk now.
Tong Jia drank the red wine in the glass, smiled, and her expression was full of nostalgia: "We have known each other since college... I chased her at the beginning, she is from the dance department, and I was danced by her at the first sight I still remember that she danced "Birch Forest". After we got together, she treated me very well and gave up a good opportunity for me. I don't think we can drag on like this any longer."
Today's Tong Jia is very different from the past.
The flamboyant, free-spirited Tong Jia, who was used to talking loudly, seemed to suddenly become deep in front of them.
Xu Jinman took the initiative to pour her a small cup: "What do you want to do?"
"I decided to propose to her." Tong Jia looked at the two people opposite her with envy in her eyes, and at the same time she spoke with a vision for the future: "We both have a sense of belonging after we get married. I have been waiting for her to propose. Actually, it is unnecessary. I also Can I ask for it?"
Xu Jinman and Shen Shu supported her decision.
When Tong Jia went to the bathroom, Shen Shu looked at Xu Jinman's pensive expression.
"what happened?"
"I was just thinking, if there is no result in a relationship for seven years, does that mean something?" Xu Jinman shook his head: "Maybe I'm thinking too much."
Shen Shu: "You should think too much."
Xu Jinman: "Huh?"
Shen Shu: "We are married even if we are not in love."
Xu Jinman: "..."
Xu Jinman snorted: "Miss Shen, whoever says that you are not eloquent will look down on you."
Tong Jia didn't drive, Xu Jinman and Shen Shu sent her back.
The car drove out of Wanhe Square, probably because the pressure was released just now, Tong Jia was talking happily with Xu Jinman in the back seat.
It returned to its previous appearance.
"Have you seen that big screen? Shushu, it will be yours from now on!" Tong Jia pointed to Wanhe's big screen, which is still Tan Jie's perfume advertisement.
Shen Shu: "It would be nice to shoot more scenes, but I still want to borrow your good words."
Tong Jia laughed and said, "Let me tell you, I'll pick you up these two days... Wait, stop! Stop!"
Xu Jinman: "...how do you stop here? It's illegal."
"It's Qiao Rui." Tong Jia: "Xu Jinman, put me on the side of the road! Hurry up!"
Her voice was anxious like a child's, Xu Jinman was taken aback, and looked in the rearview mirror in the direction Tong Jia stared at, there was a big hotel over there, although there was more than just a hotel, but such a reaction could still be good ?
Xu Jinman and Shen Shu looked at each other, pulled over and stopped the car, and Tong Jia got out of the car immediately.
Xu Jinman stopped Shen Shu and gave her the key: "It's not convenient for you, you drive the car to a place where you can park it. I'll go."
Xu Jinman followed Tong Jia to the hotel entrance, but Tong Jia stopped in her tracks.
Her face turned pale, and she held her hands tightly: "She told me to go to class, should I believe her?"
The tone is like dying.
Xu Jinman said truthfully, "No."
When I got out of the car just now, I also saw the back of Qiao Rui and the woman entering arm in arm.
It's all here, is it a class in a hotel?
