A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 10
I quickly followed and said sincerely, "I'll accompany you."

He waited for me to fasten my seat belt before saying, "Your expression just now was terrifying."

I recalled the scene of blood splattering, and I still felt scared, "I thought I was going to die, and I saw blood all over the floor."

He was startled, "Where did the blood come from?"

"I just watched "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" yesterday, it was full of blood..." I shuddered, "If I knew it, I wouldn't have watched it."

He stretched out his hand and shook the back of my hand firmly, "It's all right."

The car drove more than ten meters away, and I suddenly yelled: "Wait!"

He slammed on the brakes, "What?"

"Where's the camera? Did you throw it away?" I asked him.

He recalled it for a moment before nodding, "I was going to pull you back just now, so I threw it away."

Without waiting for him to stop me, I jumped out of the car as fast as I could, trotted all the way back, and found the box by the side of the road with the help of a little light on my phone.Fortunately, the box has not been opened yet, and there should be foam inside for shock absorption, so it will probably not break.

I returned to the car with the camera in my arms, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I found it."

He was still fiddling with his mobile phone, and he probably just finished the call and started the car when he saw that I was seated.Besides, there were still various sports cars whizzing by, all of them at an astonishingly fast speed.

"Why so many sports cars?" I couldn't figure it out.

"This road leads to Xishan, and many people go there to play drifting." He said lightly with a grim expression.

I said "Oh", "Aren't they afraid of danger?"

"They're all children of rich families. They're used to burning money, so they can't find anything more exciting." He pursed his lips, with a bit of disdain in his tone.

"And was it like this when you were young?"

He choked, and asked in a serious tone: "You think I'm old?"

"You're not old either." I quickly explained, "It's because you're mature and don't care about those little tricks."

This is not to flatter him, he is not yet thirty this year, he is really young, but he is not like those rich second generations - he is not keen on famous cars and beauties.Of course, the matter between him and Qin Mou can be regarded as the general routine of wealthy families and female stars, but the advantage is that he is dedicated enough, which can be regarded as different.

I glanced at him again, and couldn't help but think that a rich man like him must shoulder the responsibilities left by his parents after his early death, and grow up quickly and with hardships.Therefore, everyone has unsatisfactory things, and there is really no need to be jealous.

"I never did this when I was young." The car had already driven into the bustling urban area, and the speed slowed down, he said, "When I first arrived abroad, the most extravagant thing I did was to buy A suite. Because grandpa said that moving around all the time will affect your studies.”

I believe this.

"At that time, a friend of mine had just started working in the bank. At the end of the month, because he had a deposit task, he asked me if I had any spare money to deposit in his bank. I asked him how much he needed. He said, if he doesn't talk to you, he looks down on you. You can save me 1000 million, just one day."

"and then?"

"As a result, I searched my account, and there were only a few thousand dollars in it."

"Does he not believe it?" I couldn't help laughing.

"Not only do you not believe it, you don't believe it even if you beat him to death. You think I don't want to help him."

"I didn't expect Grandpa to be so cruel to you." I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

He didn't say anything, just stopped the car, "Do you mind if I go to the hospital first?"

I accompanied him to the emergency department at St. Mary's Hospital.The lights in the hospital were bright but cold, and the doctor was facing the mirror when he was debridement. I gasped when I saw his wound.He is still calm and self-possessed, always expressionless on the ground, and never frowns even when disinfecting.

"I heard from grandpa that you are going to Japan to discuss an acquisition in the next few days." I asked carefully, "Will it affect you?"

He slightly raised his eyes and looked at me, "What effect?"

I pointed to his face and said in a low voice: "The image is not very good."

He laughed and pointed at the piece of gauze, "You mean this?"

I looked him up and down, his hair was disheveled, his clothes were ragged, and he was disfigured. In a blink of an eye, he changed from a noble son to a down-and-out uncle.

But he seemed to have heard something stupid from me, "I don't rely on this face to eat."

That's true, I'm a little relieved.

He called his assistant and probably told him to bring the clothes over. After hanging up the phone, he said to me, "Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes before leaving."

How dare I say anything, I obediently sat beside him, he turned sideways, as if casually said: "Don't forget what I told you at my house just now."

I had a very bad premonition in my heart, but because I owed him my life, I could only listen, "What?"

"Quit smoking, and I can't see Mai Zhendong." He still said these two words.

I rely on!I still remember it!

I didn't have the strength to argue with him anymore, the cold air sucked into my blood bit by bit, it seemed to extinguish the fire, I could only say: "Mr. Shen, otherwise... I will never let you smoke. You find out that I will never let you see me making friends with Mai Zhendong, even if I am killed by him in the future, I will never say a word in front of you."

He looked at me with focused eyes, as if to make sure I was serious.

I said, "Out of sight is out of sight. Is this the head office?"

After a while, he finally turned his head away.I think this is probably the tacit consent.

Finally, an agreement was reluctantly reached, and I didn't want to talk to him, so I could only concentrate on watching TV.

Televisions in the hospital lobby were broadcasting live local news.

I saw familiar roads and street scenes. The male reporter was sitting in a police car and said to the camera: "... drag racing, drifting and other activities have seriously affected the travel safety of nearby residents, and are extremely harmful to the safety of drivers themselves. Responsible behavior. During the festival of auspiciousness and reunion like the Spring Festival, our reporter will follow the traffic police to Xishan to investigate and deal with illegal vehicles..."

I quickly pulled his arm, pointed to the TV and said, "Look! The traffic police are going to investigate them."

On the TV, the traffic police were busy setting up roadblocks, and at the same time checking the IDs of the car owners one by one. I saw those young people all looked frustrated, and they no longer had the domineering look just now.

He glanced away and looked away.

"It would have been nice to check an hour earlier." I rejoiced, "Otherwise we wouldn't be sitting here."

His cell phone rang, and I heard him say: "...I saw the news...the license plate number starts with R8, but I don't remember the rest, the speed is too fast."

I vaguely remember that the trot that I almost hit, the license plate seems to start with "R8".

"Did you ask someone to check?" I waited for him to answer the phone and asked suspiciously.

He didn't deny it, but said, "I'm just fulfilling my duty as a good citizen."

I looked at the chaotic TV screen, "That car didn't really hit us, and we can't do anything to the owner."

He smiled relaxedly, "Who knows? What if drunk driving, or illegal modification? It's better to check, this is also the responsibility of the car owner himself."

I really admire his vigorous and resolute actions to eliminate harm for the people.While speaking, his assistant had already arrived, and seeing that I didn't show any surprise, he just greeted me, then leaned over and whispered something in Shen Qinjun's ear.

I saw the smile on the corner of his lips, calm and composed, as if he was waiting for a long-awaited prey.

I feel uneasy for no reason.

He simply changed into a dark blue sweater, pulled me to stand up, and said in my ear: "You don't need to talk much for a while, just smile and say hello."

I was dragged by him to the entrance of the hospital. A seven-seater commercial vehicle had just stopped, and someone opened the door to get off.

The young girl with long black hair like a waterfall was turning her head and said patiently: "Mom, be careful."

I held my breath suddenly, how could I not recognize her!
It's Qin Mou.

When Qin Mou turned his head, he saw Shen Qinjun, holding his mother with one hand, and froze.It was her mother who came to her senses first, saw Shen Qinjun, and came forward to say hello with a smile: "Ah Jun, what's wrong with your face? We Yiyi..." She didn't finish her sentence, but when she saw him holding my hand, she couldn't continue I just looked at my daughter suspiciously.

Qin Mou was much calmer than her mother, walked up a few steps, stood in front of Shen Qinjun, smiled and said, "Long time no see."

Shen Qinjun clasped my left hand tightly, and shook her right hand, "Long time no see."

"I'm here to see Dad." She explained softly, and then looked at me with bright eyes, "Who is this?"

I'm also used to seeing celebrities. Many of them look like gods, but they can't be seen without makeup.But this time when I saw her without makeup, I was really impressed. It was flawless and crystal clear, her eyelashes were long and slightly curled, and her eyes like black grapes seemed to be able to talk—this girl was like a doll, she was really beautiful.I was a little stunned for a moment, and heard Shen Qinjun say: "Bai Xi, these are Qin Mou and Aunt Zhong." Then he said to Qin Mou and her mother, "This is my friend, Bai Xi."

I came back to my senses, remembered his teachings, smiled softly, and said quietly, "Hello, Auntie. Miss Qin, I am your loyal movie fan."

I could feel Qin Mou looking me up and down, she wasn't without panic, but she immediately covered it up with a smile: "Thank you."

"You—" Qin Mou's mother stared at me, then looked back at her daughter. For some reason, her expression was pale and weird, "You are—"

Qin Mou stopped the restless mother and looked at Shen Qinjun, "What's wrong with your face?"

He didn't care, "There was a little accident and the skin was scratched."

She stared fixedly at him, and I watched from the side, and felt that there was an infinitely wonderful charm in this glance, but in the end she only sighed softly, "Are you going skiing again?" Said, "...and this Miss Bai?"

He smiled and shook his head, "It's so late, I won't go to see my uncle."

I also said goodbye to them, walked away with Shen Qinjun, and heard her mother's urgent voice: "...is she?"

What a show.

Sitting in the car, I was still thinking about the scene that happened just now, the way he looked at her, although he had concealed it as if he was looking at an ordinary friend, but deep down, he was still gentle and loving.

The assistant was driving, Shen Qinjun didn't say a word, I gently touched his arm.

He glanced at me.

"We don't have to act for a long time, do we?" I asked quietly.

His eyes were sharp, and he frowned, "What?"

"Her mother likes you very much, and she will definitely let her come back to you." I ventured to guess, "Does she not know that you broke up?"

When I said this, I breathed a sigh of relief.Since there is still affection for each other, it would be great to reunite after a broken mirror!As for me, I really don't want to continue acting any more. If you can't get something, it's better not to get close to it from the beginning.

The corners of his lips curled slightly, and his smile was cold, "You don't understand her."

"Yiyi has always had her own ideas." He whispered.

It took me a while to figure it out.If this is the case, the more pressure her mother puts on her, the more rebellious she will be.

I looked at his side face in the dark, and the indeterminate light made his eyes look more unpredictable.I think, if in this world, the person I love can give me so much affection, even if I die, I will have no regrets.

It's not far away, but after driving for a long time, the car got stuck in the traffic flow of the city, and there was a tendency to be in a dilemma.I heard his cell phone ringing, it was Qin Mou's exclusive ringtone.

He was not in a hurry to pick it up, his slender fingertips touched the word "Yiyi", full of tenderness.

"Yiyi?" He finally picked it up.

I don't know what was said on the phone, but he simply said "I'm here to find you".

After hanging up the phone, he said to his assistant, "Send Bai Xi home."

"Mr. Shen, what about you?"

He got out of the car by himself, "I still have something to do."

I watched his back getting smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror, feeling a sense of loss in my heart, which finally turned into soreness, so bitter that I didn't want to say a word.

Some people say that tragedy is breaking the most beautiful things for you to see.

But I know, for me, the tragedy is that I know how good that person is, but he has already fallen in love with someone else thoroughly, and I am at best... a crappy substitute.
