Red Sea Town

Chapter 23 Tuhao Teng

— "I'm getting out of here. I can't do anything here."

——"You can't help me with anything, I will only decay day by day here, and there is no hope at all."

——"Don't use your little days to hypnotize me. I'm just using you. I want to pay off my debts and leave here sooner. Can't you see that?"

——“…”

Lu Li vented to Qi Ji at the beach.Shouting and shouting, asthma suddenly started, and the medicine I brought before was used up long ago.I do physical work every day these days, and my body is much stronger, my immune system is healthy, and there is no sign of asthma at all.

Lu Li never thought that seeing Deng Jiahao again, he would have such a big reaction.

Qi Ji didn't know where he got the first aid spray.Lu Li took a few deep breaths, and his breathing became smoother, but his heart seemed to be stuck there forever. That night, he developed a fever. The fever lasted for a week, and he woke up and fell asleep in a daze. When he regained consciousness, Finding himself in the hospital in Honghai Town, the smell of disinfectant made him retch, but his body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to vomit.

"Uncle Lu, are you awake? Are you hungry? Do you want to drink water? Eat? Or should I call Dr. Chen for you?" Lu Li's hand was held by the child's hand, and Lu Li heard Xuanxuan's soft cry beside the bed. sound.

"I...why am I here?" Lu Li tried to sit up, but it was only because Xuanxuan came to help him that he succeeded.

"Uncle Lu, are you okay? You've been sick for a week." Xuanxuan was wearing a white T-shirt, with grease stains on his chest from eating snacks, and looked at himself seriously. Finished with the crumbs of the cookies.

Lu Li stretched out his hand and rubbed Xuanxuan's head. When he woke up, he could see such an optimist guarding him. The nightmare that haunted him for so long was no longer so frightening.

Xuanxuan sensiblely got Lu Li lukewarm water to drink, and happily went to see Doctor Chen. Lu Li ate an orange to moisten his throat and felt better. Only then did he realize that he was lying in Situ Sheng's ward before. The bed was where Situ Sheng slept before, and the snow-white quilt on the hospital bed was neatly folded, and Situ Sheng's extravagant ostentation was gone.

Where did Situ Sheng go?

Soon Chen Yan came in, seeing Lu Li staring at the bed next door, his face was somewhat dazed.

After a while, he turned his gaze back: "His fracture healed quickly, and he has already gone back after the plaster cast was removed." Chen Yan forced a smile, and briefly explained, looking at Lu Li's weak appearance, he was a little serious: "You have asthma. You must have emergency medicines by your side. Fortunately, Qi Ji asked me to bring some medicines with you. You have worked too hard during this period, your immunity has weakened, and a small cold almost made it difficult to deal with it. Adjust your mood , take a good rest for a few days."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lu Li was somewhat embarrassed.Hearing that Qi Ji deliberately dragged the doctor to get the medicine early, he thought of Deng Jiahao who suddenly appeared on the day he fell ill, and the quarrel with Qi Ji at the seaside.

Suddenly he didn't know how to face Qi Ji.

In the evening, after Lu Li finished hanging the salt water, Xuanxuan came over with a change of clothes and said that he would take Lu Li home for dinner.

"Father went to deliver the courier in the afternoon, and Brother Xiaokai cooked in the evening. It was delicious. I made you your favorite hen soup, and I gave you both legs." Xuanxuan looked expectant, As he spoke, his mouth was watering.

"That, Xuanxuan..." On the way back, Lu Li walked slower than an ant crawling, Xiao Huang, who was wagging his tail and waiting to go back to eat chicken, ran back and forth several times in a puzzled manner. Lu Li looked at him with a look on his face - there is an old hen to eat, and you are still scrambling to go to heaven or what?

As Lu Li walked, he didn't move at all.

"Xuanxuan, your father—" Lu Li scratched his ear.

"What's wrong with Dad?" Xuanxuan blinked his big eyes and looked at him.

"Uh, nothing."

"Oh, you've been sick for so many days, my dad has worked very hard, either in the hospital to accompany you, or to deliver the courier, repair the car, and take care of the food stalls. It's so hard. My dad fell asleep while repairing the car yesterday. ..." Xuanxuan pouted her small mouth, her little expression was full of distress: "Dad said that you got sick after arguing with you, so I don't have the face to see you."

Xuanxuan is definitely a villain, while saying this, Xiaoxin looked at Lu Li's expression.

"..." Lu Li opened his mouth, unable to speak.

Xuanxuan took the opportunity to test again: "Uncle Lu, Dad said, if you don't like us, you don't want us anymore."

Xuanxuan is definitely an acting school, as he talked, big tears rolled around his eyes.The eyes of the first second were obviously old hens, but the next second it was already raining with pear blossoms, and it was about to explode when touched.

"I didn't... I didn't say that." Lu Li hurriedly knelt down and hugged Xuanxuan, fearing that the child would cry out in distress, "I just... oh."

Lu Li sighed.

Now that I think about it, it has been so long, and I still can't let go of Deng Jiahao in my heart.

After all, it's first love, even if you know it's a scumbag, from the beginning to the end, whether it's love or hate, it's so strong and extreme, this person is like a **** who can completely destroy him casually life.For him, he hurt his father and came out of the closet, because of him, his father was imprisoned, and now it is for him, he can easily make himself lose his mind.

That day he completely rejected Qi Ji at the beach.Lu Li knew that he didn't belong to Honghai Town, even if his body stayed here, his heart was always in the outside world.There is hatred, grievance, betrayal, and a father who is in prison.The moment Lu Li saw Deng Jiahao, the dormant resentment in his body instantly awakened.

……

"Uncle Lu?" Xuanxuan put his small hand on Lu Li's eyebrows, and put his small face very close: "Is it true that when people grow up, they will have a lot of troubles? Dad always frowns these days, Chen The doctor also frowned, as did Uncle Guang, brother Xiaokai, mother Qin, and sister Xiaoshui... why are you all unhappy? Is it possible that I will be like you when I grow up?"

"I..." Lu Li got a needle out of his thoughts, and wiped away Xuanxuan's tears with his hand: "The life of our adults is too complicated, and you are the happiest, simple, with no worries."

"I have troubles." Xuanxuan washed his nose, put his head on Lu Li's forehead with a serious face, "I don't want you to go..."

Just saying that I don't want you to leave, made Lu Li's heart melt.

"Actually, Dad doesn't want you to leave either. Look, he's already here to pick us up." Xuanxuan suddenly whispered in Lu Li's ear.

Lu Li looked in the direction Xuan Xuan was looking at.

sunset.

A tall man stood in the sunlight, unable to see his face at all.

It was a figure that Lu Li was familiar with.

When he was at his worst, under the dark light, it was this figure that took him in.

It gave him the possibility and hope to live.

Their eyes met, and Lu Li was blinded by the sunlight.

The person's gaze was soft, as calm as ever, soft and firm.

Speechless.

Lu Li felt his weak body instantly relieved.

"Whoa-"

A thick overcoat covered Lu Li's body with a familiar smell.

"It's cold at night. Go back."

That's all.

Lu Li buried his face in his coat, his nose was sore.

……

Not far away, Aunt Tong Hua finished her shift, and Chen Yan, who followed Lu Li and Xuan Xuan all the way home, watched that scene from a distance.With a little milk cat in his arms, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

It's more about envy and self-knowledge that if you can't ask for it, you can't envy it.He didn't know how complicated Lu Li's background was, nor did he know the twists and turns behind it all.All he knew was that tall man was by his side night after night when Lu Li was having nightmares and talking nonsense all night long.

I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals, just looking at them, I feel sweet in my mouth.

Turning a corner, Chen Yan returned to the simple bungalow.In the past, this place was always bustling and noisy at this time, but now it's quiet, and he's not used to it.

"Oh, Brother Situ is strangely deserted after he left. Dr. Chen will come to our house for dinner tonight?" Linghua was washing vegetables next door and saw Chen Yan warmly inviting him.

"Hey, no need, I'll make some myself, and I suddenly want to cook today." Chen Yan still refused clumsily, and went back to the room and closed the door, as if shutting off all the world outside.

The moment he closed the door, he squinted and saw a few pink flower buds blooming in the yard.

Those were the seeds that Situ casually sprinkled on the morning of his departure.

Unexpectedly, it bloomed so soon...

the other side.

After removing the plaster cast, Situ Sheng found that he had no problem walking. He had been crazy in the bustling city for a week.

Although there is a shadow in his heart that he does not dare to drive, but he has seen a lot of beauties in nightclubs these days.

Ever since he was kissed by Chen Yan that day, he has been very, very unhappy.

After the plaster was removed and he saw that he was fine, Long Jiu said something and went back to the city to have a look, and he followed him back, but as soon as he came back, it was like letting the tiger go back to the mountain, and the whole play was unnecessary.

Every day, it is like a peacock with its tail open, attracting bees and butterflies everywhere.After touching his soft thighs and chest for a few days, Situ had long forgotten about the dilapidated hospital in the ditch of the village.After confirming that the one I love is a woman, and the most beautiful in my heart is the fairy sister Liu Yifei, I feel at ease immediately.Let Long Jiu and Kaizi go around to help him collect beautiful women.

That day, he was lying in the villa with his ipad to choose his next fairy sister. Suddenly, in broad daylight, there was a row of people in front of him.

"Dragon—" I haven't called out my younger brother's name yet.Situ suddenly shut his mouth, looked at a big man in front of him, blinked his eyes to make sure he read it right, and was immediately surprised——

"What wind brought Boss Teng here? It's a rare visitor, a rare visitor."

It is rare to see Situ greet anyone with such a tone and expression, especially this pedestrian who broke into the door without even saying hello.

"Mr. Teng heard that you went to a hidden place to recover from your injuries." The leading lady wore a smart bun, a professional suit and gold-rimmed glasses, and her voice was somewhat robotic.

"Ah, yes. You said ho~~"

Situ was interrupted instantly: "Please don't say that address. This is a document. After signing, you will have the equity in the third phase of Binhai Development."

Situ opened his mouth halfway, and ten thousand grass-mud horses roared past in his heart.

Impossible, absolutely impossible, even a group of people who are a favorite of Binhai Development can't get in. How could the pie be smashed on their own heads?

Mr. Teng took a break for a few years, and since he came back out of the rivers and lakes, apart from being unscientific, his mind is very normal. How could he cooperate with such a small loan shark like himself?

Countless reasons finally made his saliva flow out.

The woman's mechanical voice sounded again: "President Teng's request is very simple."

The big guy on the opposite side looked up at Situ, and smiled with a touch of cunning.

The woman continued: "Mr. Situ, please take Mr. Teng there immediately."

……

ten seconds.

30 seconds.

2 minutes.

3 minutes.

Situ blinked - gone?

The woman looked at him with contempt and expressionless face - gone.
