Chapter 29 Chapter Twenty Nine

Lou Hong insisted not to seek a doctor or go to the hospital, but Geng Lin insisted on persuading her to go.Finally, Lou Hong said: "The hospital reminds me of your wife." Geng Lin immediately stopped insisting, and Lou Hong's reason made him short by three points. "I'm worried about your wound..." Geng Lin said in fear. "It's okay, you go to buy some things, I can handle it myself." Lou Hong calmed down, showing a strength rarely seen in girls of her age. "You must know what to buy. Your wife is a surgeon." Lou Hong's last sentence did not show any intention of complaining or hurting, as if what she wanted to explain was the fact itself.

Geng Lin was moved by Lou Hong in front of him, and his heart was suddenly clenched by pity again.Whenever this happened, he would think about Liu Yun, and then grit his teeth unconsciously. "Lou Hong, I'm really sorry for you." Geng Lin confessed sincerely, "I hope God will give me a chance to make you happy. I'm willing to do anything." "Then let's go shopping quickly." Lou Hong smiled relaxedly after speaking, but unexpectedly the solidified wound ached.Geng Lin immediately surrounded Lou Hong's face with his hands, and said distressedly:

"Are you all right?" Geng Lin bought the things needed to deal with simple wounds, and then carefully helped Lou Hong clean the blood bit by bit.When they were done, Lou Hong sat down in front of a mirror. This narrow standing mirror was left by the landlady. It had played an unexpected role in helping Geng Lin discover the beauty of Lou Hong's body.But now Geng Lin sees through this mirror the horror that has nothing to do with beauty: the blood on Lou Hong's face has been washed away, but red scratches cruelly divide Lou Hong's fair skin.The places where the scratches were deep swelled higher, and Geng Lin couldn't imagine whether there would be scars after the scabs fell off.Even if he didn't want Liu Yun to do it alone, as a man, he couldn't bear such a wound, which was different from the injury caused by a fight between men.He stood behind Lou Hong and put his hands gently on her shoulders. If possible, he really wanted to cry.

"It's time for me to go home." Looking at the wound, Lou Hong first thought of her parents, so she said it.This may be a strange side of her character, she can fight madly over small things that many people think are ordinary, but she is calm and calm in the face of big things that can scare many people. Geng Lin didn't expect Lou Hong to ask such a question at this time, and it was indeed a big question.Lou Hong can't just spend the night outside, so what should I do with the wound when I go home?How to explain to her parents. Geng Lin had no choice to retreat, he said:

"I'll take you home." Lou Hong stared at Geng Lin from the mirror, as if she didn't understand the meaning of Geng Lin's words, and also as if she didn't believe that Geng Lin had such courage. "I have to explain to your parents." Geng Lin said resolutely, and he was more mentally prepared when he spoke. Geng Lin sensed what Lou Hong ultimately wanted behind her conflicted mind, and she hoped that Geng Lin would go, because in her opinion, this was a very manly move, even very romantic, and the relationship between Lou Hong and Geng Lin was different due to age or values. The resulting differences are often very clear at such times. Geng Lin asked to send Lou Hong home because he felt he had to do so. Whether he wanted to or not, it was related to responsibility, not anything else.

Geng Lin put on the clothes for Lou Hong first, and then dressed himself.He stood in front of the door and said to Lou Hong calmly: "Let's go." "Are you really going?" Geng Lin nodded, and then he saw a deeply touched light burst out from Lou Hong's eyes. Lou Hong has a maturity that her peers do not have, but she is still young after all, and is still at the stage of understanding the world by imagination. Therefore, sometimes she has a posture of doing whatever she wants in the way of life, but this is just a stage No one can go very far on this road, because imagination always hits a wall.Along the way, out of good intentions, Lou Hong imagined several ways her parents might treat Geng Lin.For example, Lou Hong might have proposed to expel Geng Lin immediately without further ado, but she immediately rejected it.She said that her parents are well-bred people, and it is impossible for them to act rudely even if they are angry.Geng Lin listened to her quietly and kept stroking her shoulder.He was very empty in his heart, he couldn't think of the attitude her parents might have, so he simply didn't want to.

"Are you afraid?" Lou Hong asked. Geng Lin nodded. "Why?" Lou Hong said dissatisfiedly, "My parents won't do anything to you, they're just a little embarrassing to you. Besides..." Geng Lin covered Lou Hong's mouth with his hands. He was afraid that Lou Hong would say hurtful words, such as, "Besides, you are also responsible." He guessed that this was what she might have said, so he interrupted, and he suffered in front of his eyes. No words like Lou Hong's. "I'm not afraid of how they treat me," Geng Lin said. "Then what are you afraid of?"

"They'll find a way to keep us apart." "They will definitely think so, but it's up to us whether we can do it." Geng Lin smiled at Lou Hong, and brushed the hair that blown on her face for her. "Does it still hurt?" His voice was soft and touching. Lou Hong shook her head obediently, and rested her head on Geng Lin's shoulder. "Shall we take a taxi now?" Geng Lin asked. "Let's go a little further." When Lou Hong and Geng Lin finally stood in front of Lou Hong's parents, they were indeed astonished as their daughter had guessed, but it seemed that it was not because of Geng Lin's arrival, but because of her daughter's injury.The parents' eyes were fixed on Lou Hong's face. Could this be their daughter?Their daughter has never been hurt by anyone, and they have always believed that as parents they have the ability to protect their daughter from being hurt by others.What's the matter now?

Lou's mother reached out to touch her daughter's face, tears filled her eyes.Father Lou grabbed his daughter's hand, his face livid, "What's wrong?" he asked. Lou Hong was infected by the emotions of her parents, and the grievances that had been forgotten just now surged up again. "How important I am to my parents!" she thought, tears streaming down her cheeks.Her face twitched as the sting hurt as her tears flowed through the wound. Lou Hong's father saw all this, and his heart beat wildly with anger.He turned his attention to Geng Lin, who looked calm from the outside:

"Perhaps you can explain that a little bit?" "It's all my responsibility, I..." Geng Lin said broadly. "Well, we can go out and talk about it." Lou Hong's father interrupted Geng Lin's words and said to Geng Lin almost in a commanding tone. Lou Hong's consciousness of protecting Geng Lin also came alive at the moment.She took her father's arm and shook it, trying to use the daughter's privilege over her father to resolve the anger between the two parties. "Don't worry, I'm fine, let me introduce to you..." "Shut up!" Lou Hong's father shook Lou Hong's hand and shouted sharply. "Look at your face, how dare you say it's all right! Be careful that you won't be able to go out in the future."

Lou Hong was stunned by his father's attitude.From childhood to this age, the father has never treated his daughter like this, no matter what mistakes she made.Lou Hong has never seen her father treat others like this.She was momentarily speechless. "Please." Father Lou held out his hand to Geng Lin. Geng Lin glanced at Lou Hong, Lou Hong was not sure what Geng Lin wanted to convey through this gaze.There was neither emotion nor reproach in that look, neither surprise nor confidence.That gaze didn't even imply that Lou Hong had to be strong and trust their feelings.That gaze seemed to have nothing, as if a person who could no longer find the strength to fight, gave his life to fate and obeyed. Geng Lin's helplessness when he left with Lou Hong's father left a deep emotional mark on himself, something he had never experienced in his past years of life.He seems to have seen the fatal limitation of himself or human beings: there are indeed such occasions and such things, and there is nothing he can do when he is in them.At this point he seriously hated himself, but it didn't help. Geng Lin and Lou Hong's father left their yard and came to the street.Lou Hong's father walked in front. He wanted to take Geng Lin to a place where he could sit down and talk, but he didn't want to be near his home and worried about running into acquaintances, so he hailed a taxi. In the car, Geng Lin still couldn't shake off the helpless emotion just now.He looked at the back of Lou Hong's father's neck sitting in front, as if he also saw his strength as a man. "He is a father. Everything he does now is full of strength and righteousness. It seems that he can protect his daughter." Geng Lin thought, "But I have no chance to do this, even though I love Lou Hong as much as he does, I even love him more than him, but why can't I justly express my current feelings?" Thinking of this, he felt very useless, and couldn't help but think of Liu Yun again, "It's all because of her, she is crazy!" Geng Lin once again With such feelings, I can't wait to see Liu Yun right away... After Lou Hong's father led Geng Lin into a coffee shop in a hotel, he felt a little regretful, because now he felt that he didn't have so much to say to Geng Lin, and he didn't want to listen to him.He's not out to understand their feelings, but to annihilate it. They sat in a corner, and Lou Hong's father ordered two cups of coffee.He didn't speak until the coffee was served.Geng Lin could tell that he deliberately did this to put psychological pressure on Geng Lin.But Geng Lin is neither nervous nor afraid, he knows what he might lose, but right now he can't do anything about it.In front of the father of the woman he loves, no matter how he fights or expresses his love, he may be defeated by a single sentence from the other party: You are a married man, you have no rights!No right to be justified on such an occasion! The coffee was finally served, and Lou Hong's father took a sip himself, but Geng Lin didn't drink it.He found that Geng Lin didn't drink it, and he didn't persuade him. Then he took another sip of coffee, and then he waved to the waiter in the distance.The waiter came up and said: "Bill, please." The waiter was a little surprised. Lou Hong's father looked at her as if asking, "Didn't you understand what I said?" The waiter nodded and left.At this time, Lou Hong's father glanced at Geng Lin, not paying attention to the disdain in Geng Lin's eyes, and said: "Actually, I don't have much to say to you, because I don't want to know about you and my daughter, nothing at all." Geng Lin smiled helplessly and had nothing to say. "I just want you to know what we think as parents." The waiter handed the bill to Lou Hong's father, who took a look and handed the money to the waiter, and the waiter left all at once.Geng Lin thought to himself, he still has to wait for the change, and then he can leave proudly. "We would never allow our daughter to have an emotional relationship with a married man." "I'm in the process of getting a divorce." Geng Lin thought it necessary to say this. "Married men are not good either. If Xiaohong can't find a good unmarried man, she can find a bad one. Why would she want to marry a married man?!" "According to you, love doesn't matter?" Geng Lin said somewhat contradictoryly, he felt desperate, he couldn't imagine that the man in front of him could become his father-in-law one day, so the future between him and Lou Hong suddenly became bleak, and he Don't care what your attitude is. "Love?" Lou Hong's father emphasized the word sarcastically, "I think, as a husband, I am more qualified to talk about love than you." The waiter came over again and handed over the change he was looking for to Lou Hong's father. "I think you are at least not a completely irrational person, so you'd better pay attention to my last advice. In fact, it's not too much to call it a warning." Father Lou glanced at Geng Lin when he said this.Geng Lin's expression was the same as before. "Leave my daughter, or I'll make you lose your job and send you to jail if necessary." Geng Lin didn't speak, but narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party. "You don't need to look at me like that, it's useless. Whether a man can look at others with contempt depends on whether he has the strength. I tell you, I can do everything for my daughter. And, you'd better believe that in society I have been in the officialdom all my life, so I have this strength. Do as I say." Lou Hong's father stood up. "I don't want to see you again." After finishing speaking, Lou's father strode away from the quiet coffee shop, leaving Geng Lin alone.Faced with a cup of coffee that I didn't drink, my mind went blank. There must be such people in this world who fall asleep when they encounter difficulties they cannot face.Most importantly, they can sleep well too.If they have considerate parents or friends, they will often wake them up, fearing that their falling asleep in this way will lead to insanity.Such a person may be insane, but certainly not from falling asleep.Liu Yun does not belong to this type of person. Even when she is exhausted and in pain, she cannot find the possibility of falling asleep.Sometimes, she thought, this was God's destiny for her.When she was sent home from the hospital by her colleagues, she lay weak in bed.Not long after she took diazepam, she fell asleep.But she always woke up from the lethargy, and suddenly woke up for no reason, and then her heart beat wildly, and then she closed her eyes, waiting for the rapid heartbeat to pass, and fell into a lethargic sleep again. When she woke up from her longest lethargy, she was still uncomfortable, as if she hadn't slept at all.She sat up and drank a glass of water, remembering the dream she had just had, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.She had never had such a strange dream. In the dream, she was walking on a very wide and long street.There are tall and strong poplar trees on both sides of the street. There are no vehicles, only pedestrians, but the pedestrians are all walking in the opposite direction from her.Occasionally, a few pedestrians in the same direction as her quickly passed her.So she also quickened her pace.But after walking a few steps like this, she saw that her left foot had left her and walked two steps away from her.She didn't believe it was her feet at first, but she recognized her leather shoes.Terrified, she looked down to see if her left foot was still there, but it wasn't.She stopped, and the left foot in front of her came back to her.Then she walked again, everything was normal, but another pedestrian passed her, then quickened her pace, and her left foot left her again... After a few cycles like this, she woke up.In the dream, she felt that she wanted to beat herself up.After she woke up, her thoughts were still focused here, she didn't understand why she had to speed up her pace in the dream? The phone rang suddenly, startling Liu Yun.She hesitated, but picked up the receiver anyway. "Sister Liu, I'm Chen Daming. How's it going? I've heard it all. That girl should be honest now. From now on, you can ask me for everything else. If you can't do anything else, it's okay to help you vent your anger. " Liu Yun let out a long breath, as if a plane had just emerged from the fog, the dazzling bright sunlight made her dizzy, so it was so! "I am worried that she will retaliate against you, so I want to ask when you will go to work? I will wait in your hospital, and they dare not mess around." Chen Daming added, "Besides, there is my Angkor." Chen Daming's first sentence made Liu Yun angry, but after hearing his second sentence, she felt that Chen Daming was out of kindness for her and couldn't bear to blame him.But Liu Yun saw Lou Hong's injured face again. "Sister Liu, Sister Liu, can you hear me?" "I'm listening," Liu Yun said, "you can hear me too, right?" "can." "I ask you one thing." "no problem." "Don't meddle in my business anymore. I thank you for your kindness." Liu Yun said earnestly. "But I..." Liu Yun put up the phone.
