MTL - Please Smile at Me-Chapter 67 confession
Zhao Qingying shook her hand and almost dropped the phone. She collected herself and confirmed again and again: "Are you talking about Yu Shu?"
"Yes."
"What happened to her? Is she okay?!" There was an imperceptible trill in her tone.
"Gather a crowd to fight."
"What's your address, I'll be right over!" She returned to the car in a panic, suddenly thought of something, and immediately called Su Qibai.
Twenty minutes later, she stopped outside the police station, put on her hat and glasses and walked in. Standing at the door and looking around, he noticed Yu Shu's back at a glance.
"Hi, I'm Yu Shu's friend."
The police had just received a call and were not surprised to see her again. He pulled her into a corner and talked about the cause and effect of Yu Shu's fight with a group of people in the restaurant, as well as the hotel's compensation.
Zhao Qingying nodded repeatedly, signed and walked to Yu Shu's side.
The other party didn't notice anything, and stared fiercely at the few people with bruised noses and swollen faces.
"Yu Shu, I'm here to pick you up." Zhao Qingying tugged at her sleeve, "Let's go back."
Yu Shu blinked her eyes, came back to her senses, and glanced at her slightly sideways.
Zhao Qingying pulled her and turned around to leave, and firm footsteps sounded behind her.
She walked ahead in silence, and glanced sideways at the other people in the police station, with a stern look in her eyes.
After getting in the car, she remained silent and drove all the way to the vicinity of Yu Shu's house before stopping.
She took a deep breath, looked ahead, and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you fighting?"
Yu Shu looked sideways out of the window, put her head against the window, and said nothing.
Zhao Qingying firmly grasped the steering wheel, her muscles and bones were clear, and she said slowly: "Don't you even want to talk to me? Why are you fighting?"
Yu Shu still didn't answer.
The car suddenly fell silent.
"Didn't you just scold me a few words? Go and see, are there still few people scolding me? Can you beat them one by one!" She raised her voice, but the sound broke a little in the middle.
Yu Shu looked suspiciously, and saw a line of tears on her face at some point.
She panicked suddenly: "You..."
Zhao Qingying quickly lowered her head and wiped her cheeks, and said with a bit of tears: "What are you doing! You ignore me and fight with others because of me. What do you mean by that?"
Yu Shu also wanted to know what she meant.
"You are a woman, what are you going to fight with those big men! What if you get hurt, you won't think about the consequences!" Zhao Qingying cried and cursed, holding back her tears desperately, not to embarrass herself too much .
After a while, Yu Shu said, "I didn't think about it, I don't have time to think about it."
At that moment, she didn't just want to hit someone.
Zhao Qingying raised her head to look at her, startled for a moment.
Just now, he lowered his head all the way, not carefully observing Yu Shu's face. I just saw that her right cheek was safe and sound, so I thought nothing happened. But at this time, he noticed that the left side of his face was obviously red and swollen, and there were bruises at the corner of his mouth.
Tears burst out of my eyes instantly.
She stretched out her hand in panic to touch it, but she was afraid of the pain, so she dared not touch the wound for a long time.
Yu Shu looked at her cautiously, pressed her hand, and pressed it against her cheek: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all."
Zhao Qingying finally couldn't control it, she burst into tears, put her arms around her neck, and cried on her shoulders.
Yu Shu patted her on the back lightly, and said helplessly, "Why are you crying, don't act like a child."
Zhao Qingying didn't want to, but at this moment only crying can vent all her emotions.
This is the second person who fought for her.
For the first time, Su Qibai helped her beat up those classmates who insulted her. From then on, she recognized Su Qibai as her brother.
The second time, Yu Shu resisted the rumors from the outside world for her, using the most primitive and rude way, even though she was bruised.
She is not really a strong person, and those unsightly remarks on the Internet are always like a sharp knife, which can stab her at any time. But she has her backing, she has her parents and Su Qibai, she is not afraid of getting hurt.
Now, she has another person to protect her.
From this moment on, she suddenly found that her emotions had something else, not just pure worship and admiration.
If possible, she would like to give everything to Yu Shu, everything! She would never allow Yu Shu to be so nice to others again!
Seeing that she was crying louder and louder, Yu Shu pushed her away a little, took out a tissue and slowly wiped her tears.
Zhao Qingying threw away her tissue roughly and continued to hold her and cry.
Yu Shu hugged him helplessly, smelling a faint fragrance from the tip of her nose. The neck is a little wet, and there is still the temperature of skin-to-skin contact.
She couldn't help but go away.
What are you meeting today for?
By the way, Zhao Qingying was rejected out of anger.
But... Seeing Zhao Qingying like this now, she couldn't bear it. What if she cries again?
Zhao Qingying is such a cute and serious girl, she can't help being furious when she hears those people's wild speculations. Before he could react, his fist had already hit the opponent.
It may also be that the fire that has been simmering for a while has finally found a place to vent.
As for the cause of the fire...
From the time she saw Zhao Qingying's eager and caring eyes at the police station, she suddenly understood that she likes those sly eyes that only see herself, and hates the reflection of someone else's back...
She put her hand lightly and stroked the other person's head. Hearing this soft cry, her heart was in a mess.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Qingying backed away a little, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why don't you speak?"
The corners of her mouth were slightly curved: "Say what?"
"Why are you fighting?"
She thought for a while, then said with a smile, "Itchy hands."
"..."
Zhao Qingying stopped asking, and carefully observed her wound: "What should I do, will it disfigure me?"
"Don't curse me."
"No! There will be no scars! Yu Shu is the most beautiful!" Zhao Qingying hurriedly sat back, "Let's go to the hospital."
"No, there's medicine at home, I'll just go back and pack it up."
"Really?"
"Well, it's not a serious injury. I used to get used to it when I was learning boxing."
"Then I'll go to your house to help you!" Zhao Qingying said eagerly, wiping her face with a tissue.
"No, it's so late, go back and rest early."
Zhao Qingying wanted to say something more, but suddenly remembered that there were still a few people in the police station, and she had to go back and ask Su Qibai to help.
Yu Shu opened the car door, turned around and said, "You must be frightened tonight, take a good rest, we will talk about other things later."
other things...
Zhao Qingying's heart skipped a beat, and a gleam of light flashed in her red eyes.
She always felt that these words were full of hope!
"You also have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow!"
Both of them are very embarrassed at this time, and there are some things that are not suitable to say now.
After returning home, Yu Shu packed up early to go to sleep, but couldn't sleep at all.
With a lot of thoughts, a vague idea popped up, with a hint of joy.
She turned over and stared at the wall in a daze, the scene just now appeared in her mind.
He touched his neck, as if there were traces left by the other party.
The next day, she wore a mask to report to the company, and after confirming that there was nothing to do, she went home to work. It's really embarrassing to see the employees like this.
In the evening, she received a text message from Zhao Qingying.
[I have another announcement today, it will end soon, I will come to you for dinner later, hehehe]
His eyes stayed for a moment, and a smile flashed in his eyes. Put down the phone, get up to get water to drink.
At this time, the door opened, and Yu Zhao walked in whistling. Just bumped into her, and was startled: "Sister, why did you come back so early today!?"
Yu Shu glanced at the clock and asked, "Today is Tuesday, and it's not your time to leave school. Did you skip class?"
Yu Zhao passed her with his head down, stopped suddenly, and raised her chin in doubt: "What's wrong with your face?"
Yu Shu patted his hand away: "First tell me honestly what you came back for."
"Who hit you?" Yu Zhao exuded a hostility all over his body.
Yu Shu frowned displeasedly, and pulled him out: "You don't have to worry about the adult's business, you just have to go to school, hurry back to school!"
Yu Zhao broke away from her hand: "Who the hell! I won't **** kill him!"
"What are you doing, what else do you want to do, go back to your school!" Yu Shu struggled, and as soon as she opened it, Yu Zhao slammed the door shut.
"What are you doing!" she said in astonishment.
Yu Zhao looked directly at her, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "You don't tell me anything! Do you treat me like a younger brother! My own sister was beaten, and I don't know who did it!"
Yu Shu took a deep breath and patted his arm: "It's okay, I just bumped into someone accidentally. Be obedient and go back to school..."
"You fart!" Yu Zhao violently shook off her hand, "Do you think I'll believe it! Yu Shu, Yu Shu! Do you think I'm an adult only if I call your name!"
Yu Shu was startled and looked at him in astonishment.
Yu Zhao smiled bitterly: "Since I was a child, you have wanted me to follow your way, but do you know what I want? I don't want so much money! I want my sister to listen to me more If I want her to treat me as an adult, she can share with me all the joys and sorrows, instead of being silent about everything and bearing it alone!"
Yu Shu had never heard him say these words. She was not good at expressing her feelings, but she always thought that the other party could feel them.
Yu Zhao's eyes were slightly red, and he lowered his voice: "You don't tell me anything, do you think you are the only one who wants to support this family! I am also a man, what kind of man is hiding behind you! I don't have parents anymore, I I don’t want to, and I don’t have a sister! But you are like this every time, I dare not love you, I am only afraid of you.”
As soon as the voice fell, he opened the door and rushed out.
Yu Shu chased after him belatedly, but there was no one in sight.
"Yu Zhao! Yu Zhao!" He shouted several times, but no one answered.
She searched around the house, but found nothing. It was getting dark, so she frantically called Yu Zhao, but no one answered.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately called Zhao Qian. Knowing that the other party was on his way home after get off work, and Zhao Lei couldn't be contacted, he decided to go to his house to look for it in person.
Not long after driving out, another car came oncoming.
Zhao Qingying stepped on the brake suddenly, put down the window and looked back, only to see a shadow of a car in a hurry. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the silhouette just now was very familiar, so I immediately turned around and chased after him.
Fortunately, the car in front did not go to the city center, but to the suburbs, so it was not easy to lose after chasing it.
About half an hour later, the car in front stopped and she moved forward slowly.
The next moment, Yu Shu got out of the car and ran to the small villa next to her without looking back.
She drove the car to the door.
Seeing her walking through the small courtyard, the door just opened, and a tall man came out from inside.
Zhao Qingying choked for breath.
It's Zhao Qian.
I couldn't hear what the two were saying, but within a few minutes, Yu Shu lowered her head. Zhao Qian stood beside her and patted her back, leading her to walk inside.
Her eyes froze, and she felt her heart was about to explode. She slapped the steering wheel vigorously, and two long beeps sounded on the quiet street.
Yu Shu and Zhao Qian turned their heads at the same time, and saw the window of the car directly opposite was lowered.
Yu Shu looked intently, only to find Zhao Qingying in the car. She was stunned for a moment, opened her mouth, but forgot to respond for a moment, thinking about Yu Zhao's news again.
During this silent time, Zhao Qingying watched the two of them maintain their original posture motionless, as if she was the intruder.
A self-deprecating smile slowly formed on the corner of his mouth.
Yu Shu took two steps forward, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong with her expression, and then heard Zhao Qingying's disappointed voice: "Yu Shu, goodbye."
Yu Shu's heart skipped a beat, and she took two quick steps forward, trying to call her to a stop, but the car drove away.
"No, don't go." She murmured, subconsciously chased after her, and Zhao Qian's voice could be heard calling her from behind.
But all she had in her eyes was the front, Zhao Qingying in the front.
"Zhao Qingying!" She shouted in a low voice, then raised her voice, "Zhao Qingying, Zhao Qingying!"
There were no cars on the road. She looked at the endless road and ran all the way.
Wearing high heels, I almost sprained my feet, so I took off my shoes and stepped on the asphalt road.
The broken stones hurt her feet, but she didn't care about it at all, and suddenly panicked in her heart.
That's right, she hasn't talked to Zhao Qingying yet, and she hasn't talked to him about the things she just figured out.
She thought everyone could understand her unspoken emotions, but it didn't. Because he didn't like to express, his younger brother ran away from home with resentment in his heart, and Zhao Qingying also showed despair in his eyes...
How to do how to do?
"Zhao Qingying!" She kept shouting, as if the other party could hear it.
I don't know how long I ran, but suddenly I stepped on a sharp stone, and the pain went straight to my nerves. Looking down, blood had already begun to ooze.
She gritted her teeth and continued to run forward, but her speed slowed down.
She also knew that she couldn't catch up with others, but she just wanted to walk like this, and it hurt when she walked, as if she was punishing herself. All the emotions were in a mess, and in the end, the eyes were inexplicably red.
beep beep—
Just when she was hopeless, the two beams of lights in front moved from far to near. She suddenly raised her heart, looked at the car nervously and expectantly, and silently called a name in her heart.
After a while, the car slowly stopped beside her.
She turned stiffly and watched the window come down.
Zhao Qingying was close at hand, looking up at her angrily.
"I just lost something accidentally, so I came back to look for it." Zhao Qingying looked at her angrily, and immediately denied the statement, "No, I'm just angry, very angry!"
After finishing speaking, Yu Shu was silent and was about to scold someone, but noticed that something was wrong with her.
She had never seen Yu Shu in such a mess, her unruly suit was wrinkled out of shape. Her hair was disheveled, and there was a little sweat on her forehead, with a few strands stuck to her. His lips were parted slightly, still panting.
But her gaze was always on herself, as deep as a pool, as if it was about to set off waves, and she couldn't help being attracted to her.
"How do you..."
Before finishing speaking, the other party took a step forward.
"Why are you here?" she asked.
Yu Shu smiled slowly, and under her surprised gaze, she leaned over and hugged her through the car window.
Zhao Qingying's heart skipped a beat.
"You left me behind, luckily you're back."
Yu Shu lowered her voice, but it seemed like magic power passed through her ears, numb her nerves, and she was at a loss for a moment.
"I, I didn't mean to."
Yu Shu smiled lightly and took a deep breath. Looking sideways at her red ears, there was tenderness in her eyes, and her lips parted slightly.
Even after many years, Zhao Qingying will never forget that on this early autumn night, Yu Shu hugged her and whispered something in her ear, light but heavy.
Like a street lamp, the moon in the sky illuminates her path for the rest of her life.
"I'm sorry, Zhao Qingying, I said it too late. I like you, I like you very much."
