New Year Bonus Update
Jiang Yu returned to the private room, obviously a little out of control, her eyes always drifting toward the door.
She was not afraid of Huo Cheng, but what she feared most was… Huo Cheng meeting Qiu Li.
Some time ago, in the case of Haicheng smuggling cultural relics, the main culprit was Huo Cheng’s cousin, and Huo Cheng and Qiu Li had completely fallen out with each other.
However, the [Knowledge] app still did not send Jiang Yu the news of the success of the mission. With the lessons learned from Cheng Ye, Jiang Yu would no longer take it lightly.
The mission was still not successful, indicating that Qiu Li still had not escaped the fate of the previous life.
Jiang Yu was already very careful and asked him to move into the house, to take care of him, and share her father with him. She thought that everything would gradually become clear like this.
However, the moment she saw Huo Cheng, her mentality completely collapsed.
Huo Cheng was back, what would happen later, Jiang Yu dared not think…
Qiu Li asked Jiang Yu in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”
“I’m feeling a little tired, I want to go home.”
He decisively ended the game he was on, and left the board game room with Jiang Yu.
When he went out, Jiang Yu looked around in shock, but fortunately she didn’t see Huo Cheng.
She was worried that Qiu Li would run into him.
But he should also be playing games with his friends in a box.
It was just a coincidence, Jiang Yu comforted herself. It had been so many years, between her and Huo Cheng… Maybe Huo Cheng had nothing to do, and even if they met by chance, they had the right to be strangers.
There was no need to be afraid.
Xie Yuan didn’t let Qiu Li live in Jiang Yu’s bedroom, and he had cleaned up the next room for him to live in.
At night, Jiang Yu inevitably had a nightmare.
In the dream, she seemed to have returned to her previous life. Amid the torture of the man’s punches and kicks, she lay on the cold floor, embracing herself in her arms.
The thin nightdress couldn’t hide the bruises on her body, and she saw the thin figure of the man by the French window not far away.
Huo Cheng’s psychiatrist, Qiu Li.
The indifferent black pupils seemed to have no human emotions, like a messenger from hell.
Huo Cheng was drunk and fell asleep, while she was lying on the cold floor mountain like a chopping board discarded at will, her eyes staring at the ceiling blankly.
Even a drop of tears couldn’t come out, and there was only silence in her eyes.
Soon, the man walked up to her and picked her up gently, as if holding an injured little beast.
The arms were cold, but the voice was gentle, “Sleep for a while.”
Jiang Yu was hugged to the sofa by him, and a coat was put on her. She closed her eyes sinkingly, and she felt sleepy.
But she could still feel the man’s fingertips very tenderly touching the bruises on her arm, and then slowly applying cool ointment on her bruises.
His voice was low and magnetic, slowly drifting into her dreams, “The dream is beautiful. There is blue sky and white clouds. The white clouds are as soft as marshmallows. The endless grassland is full of unknown little flowers and glowing with crystal dew. The light rain is lying on the grass, smelling the fragrance of the soil, and the breeze is blowing. On the cheeks, as if a feather fell…”
Because of his slow hypnosis, Jiang Yu had a good night’s sleep for the first time in two years.
And when she opened her eyes again and left the house empty, there was only the drunk demon with a sharp fruit knife stuck in his chest.
There were many wounds in his abdomen and chest. She didn’t know how many times he had been stabbed.
He was dead, and the body was not warm.
Qiu Li sat on the ground with blood on his hands and a smile on the corners of his mouth, very cold.
She looked at him with a devilish smile, and her thin body trembled.
Qiu Li did it!
Later, when he was handcuffed and escorted into a police car, he kept turning around to look at her.
He was expressionless, but his handcuffs were secretly compared with his heart.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Yu woke up from the dream, Qiu Li was still reading, and hearing her movement, came from the next room.
“Had a nightmare?”
Jiang Yu’s trembling hand grabbed Qiu Li’s collar and looked at his dark and shiny eyes across the deep night.
Her lips trembled, trying to tell him not to kill, but for a long time, she only called out tremblingly: “A Li.”
Qiu Li frowned slightly, and reached out to hold the girl’s shoulder blades, only to find that her back was wet.
“What did you dream of?”
“It’s terrible.” Jiang Yu tugged at him collapsed: “Dreaming that you are in jail.”
Qiu Li: “…”
“Do you want me to die, you want me to go to jail?”
Jiang Yu hugged his waist, crying and said, “Who made you so… so un-behaved.”
Qiu Li smiled helplessly: “I will do whatever you ask me to do. Isn’t it good?”
“Don’t go tonight, stay with me.” She only felt a little relieved if she hugged him.
That night, Qiu Li had never been gentle before, and there was only one posture from start to finish, which was to hold her and slowly move.
He didn’t take care of himself, he was just comforting her in this way.
Amid his soft whispers, Jiang Yu fell into a beautiful dream again.
The unprecedented and excellent experience that night was enough to be unforgettable in her life.
So that when she woke up the next morning, when she washed her face and brushed her teeth, she looked at her flushed cheeks and felt very ashamed.
Sooner or later, she had fallen asleep in the arms of that man.
After that day, Jiang Yu never saw Huo Cheng again. Gradually, she really took that encounter as a coincidence.
Perhaps Huo Cheng didn’t take her to heart at all. After all, so many years had passed, the childish entanglements of the student days were not worth mentioning in the long life process.
That afternoon, Jiang Manyi went to the “Wandering” bar to pay the employees. Jiang Yu hurried over and told her that Cheng Ye was injured during filming.
Jiang Manyi immediately left her work and drove to Dehui Private Hospital with Jiang Yu.
This hospital generally only admitted high-ranking patients or celebrities, and ordinary people could not come to this kind of hospital for medical treatment.
Therefore, there were not many patients in the hospital.
The white corridors were very clean, almost spotless.
On the way, Jiang Manyi’s heart was strained, as she didn’t know how badly he was injured.
Listening to Jiang Yu, it was during the action scene that the wire had a problem and Cheng Ye fell down, and he had fallen on his head. She also just received a call and his situation was unknown.
The ward was beautifully decorated with warm colours, without the depressing whiteness of a ward in a normal hospital, but like a high-end hotel suite.
Cheng Ye had woken up, with his head wrapped in white gauze, he was sitting on the hospital bed stupidly.
Jiang Manyi was relieved to see that he was fine, and sat on the edge of the hospital bed, stroking his handsome and pale cheeks: “Brother Ye, how do you feel?”
Cheng Ye looked at her blankly: “Who are you…?”
Jiang Manyi: “?”
“I am Manman.”
“Manman?” Cheng Ye frowned, thinking for a moment: “Who is Manman?”
“Brother Ye? Who are you kidding?”
At this time, a doctor wearing a white coat and glasses came in and said to Jiang Manyi: “The patient has a brain injury, and there will be temporary amnesia, and he may forget the people around him.”
