Recording statents, collecting evidence, and going to the hospital.
By the ti everything was done, it was very late.
Nuonuo had fallen asleep at the hospital, being held by Tu Hengsha, and the group returned to Chen Qi’s new ho.
Initially, Chen Qi and Su Ronggui both wanted to hold her, but how could Tu Hengsha hand her over to them? Chen Qi was still not fully recovered from her injuries, and Su Ronggui had sustained minor injuries today too, with a cut face and his palms and backs of his hands sliced by glass, a large cut on his wrist that required stitches.
Chen Qi’s house was still in a state of chaos.
After laying the child on the bed, the three stood among the shattered glass on the floor, with the nonsensical rants of Chen Qi’s husband still echoing in their ears, making the atmosphere awkward.
Chen Qi felt too ashad to face the other two and kept her head down, "Thank you both. It’s late, you should go ho."
Su Ronggui and Tu Hengsha looked at the broken and chaotic house, unable to imagine how, just hours ago, it had been bright, clean, and fragrant. They also couldn’t imagine how Chen Qi would handle the aftermath, with all the broken glass, furniture, and appliances, which were the landlord’s responsibility, now requiring complete renovation and replacent by Chen Qi.
"I’m okay. Eventually, I have to face it myself. I can’t always trouble you guys. I’ll deal with it slowly. Thank you both." Chen Qi bowed to them at ninety degrees.
Su Ronggui sighed inwardly, finally taking Tu Hengsha’s hand to leave. As they departed, he rely said, "We’ll go now. Take care."
Chen Qi remained in her bowing position until they both left and the door closed. Then, she slowly slid to the floor, kneeling on the shattered glass, bleeding from her knees without feeling the pain, tears silently streaming down.
Su Ronggui and Tu Hengsha returned to the car.
He didn’t start the car imdiately, pinching his brow as if calming himself or organizing his thoughts and words.
Tu Hengsha seed unaffected, "Let’s go, take ho first. Your hand... can you drive?"
"Little Sha, I’m sorry, I really didn’t know..." He didn’t answer her question, nor did he look at her in the dark, feeling slightly uneasy. "I didn’t expect, really... nothing happened with her before, Lin Dong was talking nonsense."
Lin Dong was Chen Qi’s husband.
Tu Hengsha sighed quietly. Initially wanting to sweep the dust away, erasing the episode with Chen Qi, she didn’t expect they would have to face it after all.
She lifted her chin and smiled, "I know."
He hadn’t expected her tone to be so light, turning to see her face beaming with a smile and eyes full of transparent trust, his heart eased. "You really trust that much?"
She nodded vigorously, "Of course, I trust you!" Then her gaze instinctively glanced at a particular part of him, "You... you simply wouldn’t..."
"..." His previously heavy mood was suddenly ignited by her words, "Tu Hengsha, make it clear, what wouldn’t I?"
"That... that thing..." She was always straightforward, "The first ti you kissed , you didn’t even know how to kiss... let alone... as for that matter..."
His hand on the steering wheel instantaneously grabbed the back of her neck, his face darkened, "You talk as if you’re so skilled? Are you?"
She covered her ears, curling into a ball like a quail, "I... I’m not skilled either... otherwise... we wouldn’t have bloody noses from bumping into each other..."
Seeing him this angry, she decided to go all the way, throwing herself at him, hugging him tightly, whispering in his ear, "Mr. Su, maybe you should brush up on your skills during this ti, otherwise... when it actually happens, it might hurt... I fear pain... and you’re always... quite dramatic..." she looked down, studying him intently.
"You..." He was furious for a long ti, pinching her chin, forcing her gaze away from him, looking into her dewy eyes and moist lips, finally unable to suppress his smile before forcing himself to put on a serious face, "Tu Hengsha, have so decency!" Your deanor is no different from a lecherous woman!
"Isn’t it because you like being not-so-decent?" she retorted confidently.
"You... I really am..." He shook his head, smiling, "Sit properly, we’re going ho!"
He sure had a headache! What to do when the girlfriend turns out to be the King of Filth?
Tu Hengsha buckled her seatbelt and made a face at him.
She also wanted to ask, how to deal with a boyfriend who is a total heartthrob?
In truth, life spans decades or even a hundred years, and how many people would one et along the way? She couldn’t stop others from falling in love with Su Ronggui; after all, soone loving him actually justified her good taste. He was indeed worth loving. First, it was Su Rongxing, now it’s Chen Qi, and who knows who it might be next? She couldn’t even control whether Su Ronggui might fall in love with soone else in the future. The only thing one could hold on to was oneself. In this world full of temptations, only Su Ronggui could ensure he stayed true to himself. If he always remained steadfast in his love, that was what mattered most.
Conversely, the sa applied to her. Who cared who liked her—the real question was whom she liked and whom she continued to like. However, judging by Mr. Su’s temperant, he probably wouldn’t think the sa way. If anyone dared to show interest in her, she feared life wouldn’t be too pleasant...
Petty man!
She instinctively glared at him behind the wheel.
In the night, his profile was like a sculpture, the bright streetlights highlighting his jade-like warmth, that fresh addition of blood traces, as if vivid color had seeped into white jade, striking to the eye.
You are the most dazzling person in the crowd.
At any ti.
Even when hidden away.
The next afternoon, Tu Hengsha received a call from Chen Qi.
"Maybe you really dislike and don’t want to see right now, but aren’t you and Hao Ren working on a dostic violence feature? If you’re interested, I’d be willing to be interviewed under my real na."
Actually, she and Hao Ren faced challenges with this interview, as many people were unwilling to expose themselves, much less discuss their privacy. Tu Hengsha felt she had no reason to refuse to see Chen Qi and readily agreed.
"Tu Hengsha, are you okay coming alone? You can record, and convey everything I say to Hao Ren, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to say anything in front of him."
Tu Hengsha agreed to Chen Qi’s request, and they arranged to et at a café. After hanging up, Tu Hengsha headed there imdiately.
Chen Qi looked very worn out, carrying injuries, a stark contrast to the usual refined and cool-headed director persona.
"Did you get everything sorted at ho?" Tu Hengsha asked first.
Chen Qi shook her head, "Just cleaned up a bit, it’ll take ti."
Tu Hengsha turned on the recorder, "If it’s okay, shall we start now?"
Chen Qi looked at her, a hint of surprise in her eyes, "Don’t you have questions for ?"
Tu Hengsha felt exhausted. Clearly, she was the most innocent one; her boyfriend was a fragrant flower attracting bees and butterflies. She was busy catching butterflies, not to ntion soothing both the flower and the butterflies. She felt weary from asking the sa questions...
She paused the recording, sighed, "If you an what Lin Dong said last night, then I have nothing to ask you. I know what my guy is like. If everyone who liked him required to be on high alert, I wouldn’t have ti for life and work, being exhausted chasing bees and butterflies. You’re not the first to like him besides , nor will you be the last. I’m used to it."
Chen Qi pursed her lips. What Tu Hengsha said, though brimming with confidence and a bit cutting, implied: So what if you like Su Ronggui? He only likes .
She smiled, "Alright, then I’ll tell you my story."
