If you don't give up, hold hands

Chapter 7

Qin Suoyi didn't know that this was the last time she saw Chen Mu.The two teenagers in her life disappeared into her world at the same time in the summer of that year.

After the college entrance examination is over, there will be a relaxing and pleasant summer vacation.There is no summer homework, no tutoring, only the joyful mood of looking forward to college time.But Qin Suoyi couldn't be happy.Although Chen Mu finally stopped being busy and called her every day, she always felt powerless.Today's Chen Mu, she always feels that she is no longer the sunny and hard-working poor boy back then.Maybe she doesn't like the young master who was born in a wealthy family in her bones, and she always feels that she is too far away from them, not in the same world.It may be because of her family. Her stepfather is rich, but not her own father. She always feels that she is untenable in the circle of rich people, and she is somewhat separated.

Perhaps, what she resisted was not the current Chen Mu, but Chen Mu's current identity.

After Qin Suoyi figured it out, he finally got a little enthusiasm. When Chen Mu asked her out, she no longer declined.

Chen Mu and Qin Suoyi were admitted to the most famous university in this city, and they made an appointment to visit the future university together.Chen Mu parked in front of Qin Suoyi's house in his blue Porsche, waiting quietly.When Qin Suoyi opened the iron door and came out, he saw Chen Mu leaning on the front of the car and talking on the phone.He smiled happily, with complete confidence in his brows, so high-spirited, so charming and enchanting.

Qin Suoyi approached him, Chen Mu seemed to be aware of Qin Suoyi's approach, looked up, saw Qin Suoyi, smiled, and then said to the phone: "Grandpa, I'll go to your place later, I'll go first Date... When the time is right, I will definitely take her to see you, don't worry...she won't run away, I've identified her for the rest of my life...uh, ok, goodbye." Chen Mu finally hung up the phone, Holding Qin Suoyi's hand, showing a row of white teeth: "You are so beautiful today."

"Being fascinated by my appearance will recognize me for the rest of my life?" Qin Suoyi teased, in a good mood.It is really satisfying to get such a promise from a man.

Chen Mu chuckled, pretending to be contemplative, and finally nodded as if affirming himself: "It's true, you are nothing but your appearance."

"Chen—Mu!" Qin Suoyi stretched out his claws to scratch Chen Mu, and Chen Mu grabbed her hand and shook it affectionately: "Okay, okay, to be honest, it's unreasonable to be bullied! Get in the car , I will take you to a place today."

Qin Suoyi pouted, and got into the car obediently.

The two rarely dated so formally, and Qin Suoyi didn't know where Chen Mu would take her.When arriving at the destination, Qin Suoyi was a little stunned.Racing venue!The windy racing cars flashed past one after another, and the high-pitched motor made a panting sound, which could not help but make people excited.

Chen Mu smiled and said, "Do you believe that your husband can reach the level of a racing driver within a month?"

Qin Suoyi pouted, but missed the point: "Who is your wife?"

Chen Mu was about to pinch her face when a racing car left the track and rushed towards them.Before Qin Suoyi could scream, Chen Mu immediately hugged her and protected her in his broad arms.Seeing that the racing car seemed to have suddenly lost its power and lost its function, it went on strike and stopped abruptly in front of them.

A tall man stepped out of the racing car, wearing a helmet, revealing only a pair of charming red phoenix eyes.

"Hi, Chen Mu." The man patted Chen Mu on the shoulder.

Chen Mu seemed to have heard the voice of an acquaintance, let go of Qin Suoyi, looked back, saw Xu Chenzhong, couldn't help grinning: "It's you, I was scared to death by you."

Xu Chen took off his helmet again, revealing a beautiful face, glanced at Qin Suoyi, curled his lips and said, "Girlfriend?"

"Wife."

Qin Suoyi pestered his stomach, scolding him for not being able to spit out ivory from a dog's mouth.

Xu Chenzhong didn't say anything, but glanced at the car beside him: "The modified 260 horsepower, 180 million, the same price."

"Okay, your car is trustworthy."

Xu Chen nodded emphatically: "Do you want to try?"

"How long have you been studying? Is it embarrassing to go to the arena?" Chen Mu shook his hand.Xu Chen pursed his lips again, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "180 million is what you want to buy, it seems that you have made a lot of money in Fu's family, and you can't fight your father."

Chen Mu smiled: "You can't beat a woman! Your woman gives you a lot of money, doesn't she also give you a lot of money?"

The corners of Xu Chen's mouth stiffened, he glared at Chen Mu, and clenched his knuckles tightly, as if he wanted to hit someone.Seeing that the situation was not right, Qin Suoyi instinctively wanted to protect Chen Mu, but was stopped by Chen Mu.Chen Mu said to Xu Chenzhong: "I will put the money on the account, and you can drive to my parking space."

Xu Chen approached him again, gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Mu, I warn you, Yan Zi and I really love each other."

"Whether others believe it or not, I believe it."

Xu Chen was stunned for a while, he didn't believe Chen Mu's words, his face was extremely unnatural.He put his helmet back on and drove away.

Qin Suoyi couldn't help asking: "Who is he?"

"Like me, someone who went from the slums to the upper class. I am because of my father, and he is because of a woman." Chen Mu's tone was slightly mocking.

Qin Suoyi frowned, a little sad.Chen Mu probably had a knot in her heart, but she didn't know what that knot was, so she could only stand beside him and watch him struggle hard.She used to think that Chen Mu could become a villain who flattered and flattered his mother and forgot to love his mother for the sake of prosperity and wealth, but now she felt that there was actually something hidden in it.

Qin Suoyi asked: "Chen Mu, do you really want to be part of the Fu family or is there some other reason?"

Chen Mu looked at Qin Suoyi, pinched her face, just like the boy when he first met: "What do you think? Wife."

She really wants to tell Chen Mu that she is not a smart girl, she can't guess.All she could do was probably trust him.

Chen Mu took her to experience the madness of racing on a fast track, and she was scared out of her wits several times.Chen Mu is so confident in his driving skills that he is a little conceited. He seems to like the feeling of drag racing. During the meal, he kept talking about how he learned racing.Qin Suoyi lacked interest, but still complied meaningfully.

Chen Mu took her to the winery to taste wine, go to horse races, go to high-end shopping malls to buy clothes... All of these were things that Chen Mu could not give her before, and they were all high-end places with high consumption.If it was any other girl, she would definitely be elated for this date, but Qin Suoyi was actually not happy.

Maybe she has never tasted the feeling of a frog turning into a prince, so she can't understand Chen Mu's love of money and vanity.

The weather that day was very gloomy, and the sky seemed to be covered by a thick layer of dark clouds, which made people feel a little suffocated.Today is the eighth day of the cold war between Qin Suoyi and Chen Mu.There is no one at home today.The younger sister Qin Suoyao went to cram school, and the mother took the younger brother to buy clothes.The stepfather is hardly at home during the day except at night.Only Qin Suoyi and the nanny were left at home.Qin Suoyi had been expecting Chen Mu to call her, but Chen Mu didn't.When it was almost noon, Qin Suoyi received a call from Fu Yuxiu, saying that the family had made a black truffle cake today, and he couldn't finish it by himself, so he asked her if she was free and came over to eat together.

After so many years of friendship with Fu Yuxiu, how could Qin Suoyi not know what day it is today?Today is Fu Yuxiu's birthday.In the past, she would always accompany him to eat black truffle cake, except for the year when she returned to China, how could she ever fail?Qin Suoyi felt that Fu Yuxiu's excuse was a rotten one. After all, he was afraid of him, so he didn't expose him, and agreed to him directly.Fu Yuxiu was very surprised on the other end of the phone, repeatedly confirming whether she really wanted to come, with an obvious disbelief and flattered tone, which made Qin Suoyi a little baffled, as if he had abandoned him.

When he was about to go out, Qin Suoyi realized this.Isn't Fu Yuxiu's birthday also Chen Mu's birthday?They are identical twins born on the same day and month in the same year!
Thinking of this, Qin Suoyi stopped going out, struggled for a while, and then called Fu Yuxiu, saying that he had something to do and couldn't go.She had accompanied Fu Yuxiu on her birthday for so many years, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to let him celebrate her boyfriend's birthday with him once?

Fu Yuxiu was obviously disappointed, but he was as arrogant as he was, and said unforgivingly: "I didn't want you to come, so I just called you politely." Then he hung up the phone resolutely.

Qin Suoyi felt sorry for Fu Yuxiu, but when he thought that he was Chen Mu's girlfriend now, he shrugged and smiled.Her position in Fu Yuxiu's heart is really dispensable, she has no value at all.However, she and Chen Mu are in a cold war, and now it is up to her to break the deadlock and speak first.Let this be Chen Mu's birthday present, she is not a magnanimous person.

"Hello." Chen Mu quickly answered Qin Suoyi's call.

Qin Suoyi coughed lightly: "Happy birthday."

"..." Chen Mu was silent for a moment, then burst out laughing abruptly: "Thank you. What about the birthday present?"

"I took the initiative to contact you, is this gift not big?"

"Oh, it's really surprising." Chen Mu smiled.

"Where are you? I will celebrate your birthday with you today." Qin Suoyi couldn't help grinning.

Chen Mu said in embarrassment: "I'm in City D. There are racing events."

"..." Qin Suoyi's smile gradually disappeared.

"I know you really want to see me, but city D is at least three hours' drive away from our city."

"Then you can play. I will accompany you to celebrate your birthday tonight." Qin Suoyi showed his generosity.She knew that Chen Mu loved racing cars a little more than she loved her!
Chen Mu also seemed very surprised by Qin Suoyi's performance, and smiled more contentedly: "I will go back as soon as possible. My wife, I love you."

"It's not your wife, goodbye." Qin Suoyi hung up the phone hard, feeling angry and wanting to laugh.She turned on her phone to check the time. It was one o'clock in the afternoon. Even if Chen Mu left after the game, it would be evening.There was no one at home, and she was bored, so she had to sleep to pass the time.

So, Qin Suoyi lay down on the bed with his makeup on his face and fell asleep.

Qin Suoyi didn't know how long she slept, she was woken up by the phone.The caller was her mother, Yuan Qing.As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Yuan Qing sobbing: "Yiyi, come to the People's Hospital. Your brother was hit by a car and is undergoing surgery."

Qin Suoyi froze for a moment, as if time stood still, and then seemed to press the speed button, while quickly putting on his coat, he rushed out of the room, tears falling down uncontrollably.

When he arrived at the hospital, his mother, stepfather and younger sister Qin Suoyao were all at the door of the operating room.The stepfather had been comforting the mother, who was shaking and obviously terrified.Qin Suoyi ran towards them and said with a choked voice, "What's the situation?"

The stepfather shook his head: "I don't know. When I was sent to the hospital, I kept complaining that my feet hurt. Although I was conscious, blood was dripping from my nostrils, ears, and corners of my mouth. I couldn't keep half of the sole of my right leg."

Qin Suoyi covered his mouth with tears, and couldn't believe that his younger brother who was happy to buy clothes today was injured now.

Time passed for a long time, and finally the light indicating that the operation was in progress went out.Yuan Qing immediately rushed to the door of the operating room and waited for the doctor to come out.As soon as the doctor came out, Yuan Qing grabbed the doctor tightly: "Doctor, doctor, how is my son?"

"Severe concussion, slight bleeding in the lungs, and half of the sole of the foot has been amputated. Others are fine. The patient should be transferred to the nursing ward first. If there is no late reaction, he can be transferred to the general ward." The doctor left after speaking.

Yuan Qing was completely dumbfounded, and couldn't help but sat on the ground and cried bitterly: "My God, why did this happen!"

Qin Suoyao stepped forward to hug Yuan Qing, and said sadly, "What's even more exasperating is that the perpetrator escaped. If caught, he must be punished severely."

Qin Suoyi looked at his stepfather in astonishment, and the stepfather said fiercely: "The police will investigate clearly. At that time, the perpetrator must be imprisoned for several years."

After his younger brother Qin Suobai's accident, Qin Suoyi and Qin Suoyao have been taking care of Yuan Qing, who has great mood swings.After finally appeasing Yuan Qing, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.Qin Suoyi went to the end of the corridor to call Chen Mu.After a while, Chen Mu answered the phone, his voice trembling and out of breath: "Yiyi."

As soon as Qin Suoyi heard Chen Mu's voice, the strength she had been pretending to be strong suddenly collapsed, and she cried: "Chen Mu, my brother was hit by a car."

"..." Chen Mu was stunned for a long time before he said, "I'm almost in City A now, where are you?"

"People's Hospital."

"wait for me."

"Don't come, I want to accompany my mother, I can't accompany you on your birthday today, I'm sorry."

"..." Chen Mu paused for a long time, his tone a little dry: "It's okay. Take good care of yourself."

"Well, I'll hang up first." Qin Suoyi hung up the phone, wiped away his tears, and continued to be strong.

Now is not the time to grieve, but not to let the grieving go on.

That night was the most difficult night Qin Suoyi had ever spent.Although he knew that his younger brother had passed the dangerous period, the unforeseen tragedy hit the whole family. How much he hoped that this was just a dream, and when he woke up, everything would be safe.

Qin Suoyi woke up at four o'clock.In the separate VIP ward, a family was crowded.Mom sat on the edge of the bed and fell asleep on her stomach.The younger sister was lying on the sofa and sleeping with her clothes on.The stepfather sat upright on the sofa, seemed to be closing his eyes, and seemed to have fallen asleep.Qin Suoyi walked lightly to the side of the bed, looked at his younger brother's pale face, but saw his younger brother staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes open.

"Brother." Qin Suoyi called out in surprise.

All three people who were sleeping woke up with a start.Mother immediately held Qin Suobai's face and kissed it: "Xiaobai, you're awake. Tell mom if you feel uncomfortable."

Qin Suoyao pulled Qin Suoyi away and threw herself onto Qin Suobai's bed: "Brother, you finally woke up."

The stepfather also rushed over, weeping with joy: "That's great."

Standing aside, Qin Suoyi was a little at a loss, as if he was an outsider, looking superfluous and not belonging to this family.She huddled in a corner and watched silently. Although there was a little bitterness deep in her heart, Qin Suobai was more joyful than Wuyang.

Knowing that he was disabled, the younger brother was in a bad mood, and cried for a long time, until the police came and called his stepfather out, but he still hadn't recovered.

The stepfather came back after going out for a while, saying that he had obtained the surveillance video and found the perpetrator, and asked the stepfather to go to the police station.The stepfather felt weird, since he found it, why did he ask him to go to the police station instead of directly arresting the perpetrator?Although he was full of doubts, he still planned to go and talk to his mother when he came back.

Yuan Qing originally wanted to go together, but was worried about Qin Suobai who was getting emotional.Qin Suoyi volunteered to accompany his stepfather there.

On the way to the police station, Qin Suoyi's left eyelid kept twitching. She was very disturbed and always felt that something bad would happen.When they came to the police station, a staff member led Qin Suoyi and his stepfather to the investigation room, and then played the live surveillance of the accident.

It's a wide, sparsely populated street.The younger brother ran in a hurry and crossed the road. A fast blue Porsche rushed over. Although he realized that he was about to hit someone, he turned the steering wheel sharply, but the corner of the front of the car still hit him, and the car ran over his right foot. Pressing over, the younger brother showed a painful and ferocious expression.The people in the car never got off, and after half a minute, the blue Porsche left his younger brother moaning in pain on the ground and walked away.

Qin Suoyi looked at the familiar blue Porsche, his face was pale and his hands were shaking.She kept comforting herself, but the car was similar, definitely not the two people she knew.

The stepfather said bitterly: "It's too much."

"We checked the owner of this Porsche, I guess you know him." The policeman said to his stepfather thoughtfully.

Stepfather frowned. "I don't know anyone who drives a blue Porsche. No."

The policeman said: "Fu Hanming from the Fu family. Don't you know him?"

"Fu Hanming?" The stepfather was very surprised.

"Yes, he has five cars to his name, two blue Porsches, and this is one of them. But this car is not driven by him, but by one of his sons. We have asked his son Came here to investigate. But the tricky thing is that both of his sons have pleaded not guilty, and neither has evidence of their alibi. An eyewitness vaguely saw the perpetrator..."

The stepfather asked anxiously, "Who is it?"

"Unfortunately, the two of them look exactly the same and cannot be identified at all."

"..." The stepfather was a little speechless, and asked impatiently, "Then what should I do?"

"Further investigation is needed to find out. But what is certain is that the perpetrator is one of the two." The police said affirmatively.

Qin Suoyi kept looking at the time on the monitor, which was 01:30 pm.Her heart skipped a beat.Her hands were shaking more and more, and her heartbeat was so fast that it hurt her.

At this time, a policeman came in and whispered something to the policeman in the room.The policeman in the room nodded to show that he understood.The policeman inside said to his stepfather: "Fu Hanming wishes to have a private conversation with you. It is necessary to remind you that your son's injury is a third-degree physical disability."

Why doesn't the stepfather understand what the police mean?The stepfather is only such a son, no matter how difficult it is, he can't wrong his son.The stepfather said: "There is nothing to talk about, you just check and give my son justice."

"Okay." The police admired the stepfather and handed the stepfather an application, "This is the application for filing a case. You sign it."

The stepfather signed without hesitation.

Qin Suoyi stayed next to her stepfather from the beginning to the end, and she was very entangled in her heart. After a fierce psychological struggle, she finally regained the ability to speak, and said under her throat, "Dad."

The stepfather looked back at Qin Suoyi.

Qin Suoyi pursed his lips and hesitated again.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Qin Suoyi's face was pale and his hands were shaking, his stepfather asked worriedly, "Is there something wrong? Go through the process and go back to the hospital to have a look."

Seeing his stepfather caring so much about him, Qin Suoyi felt guilty for his hesitation.She can't hide, she should tell the truth.But she still couldn't open her mouth.Although that person always bullied her and treated her badly, she couldn't push him into the fire pit with her own hands.She smiled uglier than crying, and shook her head violently: "It's okay."

The stepfather stroked her head with a smile, without saying a word.

In the evening of that day, Qin Suoyi received a call from Fu Yuxiu's attorney.Yue Qinsuo met with him about the case.Qin Suoyi came here at the appointment, and the attorney did not exchange many pleasantries, and went straight to the point: "Miss Qin, my client did drive out at that time, do you know where he went? To your home, I will bring you a black truffle cake, Because that day was also my client's birthday. Unfortunately, my client didn't notify you, but waited for you to go out at your door. After waiting for an hour, I threw the cake in the trash can at your door and left. At that time, There were no witnesses."

Qin Suoyi was stunned.

The attorney said again: "I would like to ask, is there surveillance at your door?"

Qin Suoyi shook his head.The attorney was a little disappointed: "I found a cleaner who was responsible for cleaning up the rubbish in your area, but I couldn't find a black truffle cake. The current situation is not good for Fu Yuxiu." Qin Suoyi looked at the attorney who wanted to catch him. The scalp is in a hurry, and I don't want to say anything.

Regarding Fu Yuxiu's remarks, she reserved an observation attitude.

Fu Yuxiu's attorney returned home disappointed, but Qin Suoyi was sitting in a nearby bar, restless.At this time, a racing game was broadcast on TV, Qin Suoyi was excited, his fingers trembled, and he drank the cocktail in his hand again and again.

Back home, Qin Suoyi heard his stepfather say bitterly that the two sons of the Fu family were released on bail.The atmosphere at home is very dignified, and my mother has been wiping her tears, nagging about her life.Qin Suoyi felt that he couldn't breathe, so he ran to the room and cried bitterly.She was depressed, quite depressed.

After all, she couldn't bear to call Fu Yuxiu.

Fu Yuxiu gave a weary feed.

Qin Suoyi said straight to the point: "At one o'clock, I called Chen Mu, and he said that he was in City D, watching a car race."

It was an accident, and Qin Suoyi felt that Chen Mu didn't need to lie. It is three hours' drive from city D to city A, and there is no time to commit crimes.

Fu Yuxiu was silent for a while, then sneered, "You mean, I'm lying?"

Qin Suoyi was speechless.She made this call as if she wanted to expose Fu Yuxiu's lies.Qin Suoyi paused for a moment, but couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

Fu Yuxiu's tone became choked up: "You know what? Everyone in my family thinks I did it. Because I'm ignorant and foolish. On the contrary, Chen Mu is well-behaved and sensible, and can speak nice words. They don't believe me, although I It's sad, but I understand. Qin Suoyi, I say I'm innocent, do you believe it or not?" Qin Suoyi could imagine that his eyes were red with tears rolling in them.

She wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't say it.The man lying in the hospital and becoming disabled is the only brother she is close to!How can she do it?
Then she will give him an answer.Qin Suoyi took a deep breath, and she said: "What's the point if I believe it or not? The police will find evidence, and everything will come to light. If you really caused my brother to be disabled for life. I will hate you, I never want to see you, unless I take the initiative to find you." When he said these words, Qin Suoyi felt that his eyes were a little moist, after all, they had been friends for more than ten years.

"Hehe." Fu Yuxiu smiled self-deprecatingly, "You have already condemned me before the truth came out. You always believed in Chen Mu, right? This is the difference between love and not love? Qin Suo Yi, you are so ruthless. I promise you, I will never see you unless you come to me. No, I hope you will never come to me for the rest of your life. Qin Suoyi, no one can believe me, only you No, you can't."

The phone hung up, and Qin Suoyi knew that Fu Yuxiu hung up the phone very hard.At that moment, Qin Suoyi's tear-filled eyes could no longer see the front clearly, and the tears in his eyes finally condensed into billowing teardrops, which hit the ground, like the sound of his own heartbreak, which really happened despite being inaudible.

Qin Suoyi chose to be a witness and told the judge everything he knew.During the trial that day, Qin Suoyi will probably never forget the way Fu Yuxiu looked at her, disappointed, angry, and even more sad.He just looked at her like that, listening to her finish her testimony.The police obtained the license plate numbers of Fu Yuxiu and Chen Mu who usually drive.And the license plate of the car that caused the accident was the one that Fu Yuxiu often drove.Although the existing evidence is extremely unfavorable to Fu Yuxiu, the evidence is still insufficient and the case cannot be filed.Originally thinking that the investigation would continue, Fu Yuxiu voluntarily confessed to the crime and surrendered himself in court.

His move shocked the audience.Fu Yuxiu left after being convicted.Qin Suoyi kept watching Fu Yuxiu.He didn't look at her, or rather, he didn't look at anyone, his eyes were blurred and indifferent, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

This may be that there is nothing greater than death.In his eyes, it was not that he was abandoned by the world, but that he abandoned the whole world, and nothing was important anymore.Qin Suoyi felt her heart ache, and ran out like crazy. When her ears were finally quiet, she was already outside the court.Qin Suoyi saw Chen Mu.He lowered his eyes and leaned on the stone lion outside the door with a heavy heart.Fu Hanming walked over, patted Chen Mu on the shoulder, and said something to him, Chen Mu nodded, and the two got into the car one after the other and left.

Qin Suoyi didn't know that this was the last time she saw Chen Mu.The two teenagers in her life disappeared into her world at the same time in the summer of that year.

The night before she was about to go to college, she received a text message from Chen Mu.The text message is very short, only ten characters.

--let's break up.I'm sorry, Yiyi.

There is no reason, only results.Qin Suoyi didn't cry, as if he had already prepared for it.Yes, she understood Chen Mu.There is no possibility of them being together again.The bondage of family, they can't afford it at such a young age.In the future, it will be those happiness that have nothing to do with him.

Qin Suoyi didn't dare to go to the university that she was full of longing for with Chen Mu, she couldn't bear it, she was afraid that she would cry.Sometimes when going out of the house, Qin Suoyi would habitually look to the right, would there be a blue Porsche parked there?Then I will unconsciously pay attention to the trash can on the side, will there be delicious black truffle cakes in it?

Things are different and people are different, it turned out to be so inappropriate.It was as if the whole world had abandoned her and she was alone.She felt so alone.

She wanted to escape, and she didn't want to stay in this place where she was alone.

What is fate?Because fate is round, no matter how you go, going round and round, you will always get together, even if it is just a gathering.
