When You’re Gone

Liang Shu wakes up from his nightmare.

The setting sun cast a pale yellow light and shadow on the old lattice glass windows, the room was terribly quiet, and the noise from the street downstairs clearly passed into Liang Shu's ears.

For a moment, Liang Shu seemed to have returned to that year. She woke up in the twilight, with the noise of the noisy crowd outside and the sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen in her ears.

People say that waking up at dusk is a cruel thing.

At this time, you will taste the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world. The kind of loneliness that runs out of your bones can instantly crush a person.

In the year when He lived with Jiang Ping, Liang Shu woke up at dusk, and all he heard was the sound of his busy work in the kitchen.

So there was a time when she never dared to go to bed in the afternoon.

Later she got used to it.

She rushes to various celebrity banquets every day. Most of the time she returns home in the morning. She wakes up in the evening, and she has no time to enjoy loneliness, because she has to go to the next one right away.

Later, this way of making money was cut off, and she went to the underground city to work as a croupier.

Life is chaotic, but people are very sober.

At this moment, Liang Shu looked sideways at the only place with light in the room. The window glass was divided into neatly small pieces by wooden lattices. The gaps between the window frames were not small, and the cold wind blowing through the gaps. The floral curtain flies like a ghost.

There was a clear pain in the heart, Liang Shu stretched out his palm and held it down, then slowly closed his eyes.

After sleeping, the pain in my whole body became clearer.

Someone is arguing downstairs.

It was a fire three-wheeler rubbing against a battery car.

The owner of the fire tricycle is a middle-aged man, and the owner of the battery car is a middle-aged woman. On the back seat is a teenage boy.

At this moment, the two sides are arguing very hard and their voices are getting louder and louder.

The middle-aged woman stretched her leg to step on the tripod, and then tore off the child sitting in the back seat with a schoolbag. She pointed to the side of her battery car in front of the onlookers, raising her voice, "You still want to fail the bill. Look at your broken three-wheeled car for my old lady!"

A deep dent was drawn on the side of the battery car by the tricycle.

When the fire tricycle owner saw this, he refused to admit it.

The woman refused to comply and insisted on losing money.

With that, she stretched out her hand to go forward and hit someone. The child who was standing behind her was scared and hid behind her.

The middle-aged man grabbed her hand and pressed hard, and the woman was thrown aside. He pointed at the little child, staring at the woman straightly, and snorted coldly:

"Your family has done some wicked things. This morning your broken kid scratched a Land Rover car that cost tens of millions. The owner didn't see it at the time, but I can see it clearly!"

"Are you trying to cheat, talk nonsense again, my old lady tore your mouth!"

"A lot of people have seen it. I still have a video on my hand. Would you like to see it? I took the license plate number of the car clearly. If the other party comes back to find trouble, I will send this crime video as soon as possible. Let me see what you can do with your broken electric donkey!"

...

Liang Shu felt noisy, raised the quilt to cover his ears, and turned over again.

Aunt Mei opened the door at this time and came in, shut the window of her room tightly, and cursed, "It's either noisy or crying all day long. If you die, you die or you die..."

Turning her head to the side, she saw Liang Shu staring at her, and Aunt Mei felt angry again, "Are you awake?"

Liang Shu closed his eyes again and turned his back to Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei walked around to the other side, looking down at Liang Shu, "Tell me, what happened?"

She opened her eyes suddenly, because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was very hoarse, and Liang Shu asked, "I said you still want to kill him?"

"It depends."

His throat is smoking, even after a sleep, I still have no strength, dizzy, and there is no pain in the whole body.

She shook her head suddenly and said, "That's not it."

Aunt Mei was so angry that she bent down and lifted the quilt on her body and pulled her up from the bed. "You go and wash me quickly. I was tossed like this. You'd better never let me know about this old man." Who is Wang Ba Lao!"

Liang Shu's eyes suddenly sore, she rubbed her face and called to her aunt.

"Don't call my aunt, I really want to strangle you when I see you like this."

Liang Shu smiled and smiled. Aunt Mei was not the only one who wanted to strangle her.

"Hurry up and wash you off for me!" Aunt Mei grabbed her arm and dragged her out of bed.

"Hey... it hurts." Liang Shu couldn't help it, staggering out of bed and almost falling off. She half-squinted her eyes, "I hurt, my whole body hurts."

"Deserve it!"

Aunt Mei found clean clothes and threw them on her, Liang Shu dragged her heavy body to the bathroom.

When she came out, Aunt Mei pointed to the medicine on the coffee table, her face was not very good, "Hurry up and give it to me, I don't want to take you to the hospital for abortion in a few months!"

Liang Shu had no expression. He stared at the contraceptive pill in a daze for several minutes. Then he broke one and threw it into his mouth. As he walked into the room, he said, "I'm really pregnant, I don't need you to take me to have a baby. will go."

"It's really cheap, can't you love yourself a little bit?" Aunt Mei stood in the living room, pointing at her sharply.

Hearing this, Liang Shu slowly turned around, her long wet hair still draped messily on her shoulders, and her face and shoulders were covered with water droplets.

She chuckled her lips and smiled, the bitter taste of the pill slipping across her throat in her mouth was still there, "You are like this, why bother to ask me? Aunt, who can have you."

"Liang Shu, you!" Aunt Mei's chest couldn't help rising and falling, and she grabbed something on the table and threw it at her. "You ran out and fooled around with a man and it was reasonable? Why are you coming back?! Why don't you just die as soon as possible? Up!"

Liang Shu looked down at the plastic cup at his feet, then turned around and walked into the room without even looking at Aunt Mei.

The door closed, and she could still hear her furious voice outside.

No food for a day, Liang Shu doesn't feel hungry.

She clutched her lower abdomen and thought of the previous quarrel with Gu Hansheng in the study. He said that he would wear a condom in the future, but every time after that, how often did he wear it?

No matter, how could she be pregnant with Gu Han's child.

His hair was draped over his shoulders wet, Liang Shu was so tired, he took a towel and wiped it a few times, and fell asleep on the bed again.

...

One o'clock.

Gu Hansheng woke up from the big bed in the bedroom of Mansion Zero. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead, while his other hand was covering his crazy beating heart.

In the dark night, the huge bedroom was so quiet that you could clearly hear the beating of the heartbeat, like beating a drum.

Gu Hansheng had a dream.

Dreaming that Liang Shu died.

The picture was so clear that he could even see the fury and regret on his face through the scorched corpse.

A chill rose from his back.

He stretched out his hand to pat on the nearest sleep light, touched the phone with his finger before his sight was clear, and then dialed a call very quickly.

The vibrating sound of the mobile phone rang in the room afterwards. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Liang Shu left nothing, no mobile phone, and no wallet.

Gu Han got out of bed, paced barefoot in the bedroom, and then dialed Ji Shen's phone casually.

"Quickly, call and ask about Besson Road."

"Yes."

After the phone was hung up, Gu Hansheng left the bedroom door barefoot, took a coat and walked downstairs, still holding the car key at his fingertips, and walking all the way downstairs.

When going out, Ji Shen's phone came in.

"Sir, everything is normal on Bessen Road."

The man stopped, then looked up at the dim light on the corridor leading to the garage, closed his eyes, and the tall but slightly rickety body of the man was reflected on the glass walls on both sides.

He lowered his head slightly, and his profile was unusually sharp.

For a long while.

Gu Hansheng tightened his jaw line and looked at his attire. He was still wearing the home clothes he was asleep at the moment. He only put on a pair of leather shoes on his feet without even putting on socks.

The man groaned for a moment and started to walk back.

Of course nothing would happen to her, people were sent around to watch.

It's just that the scene in the dream is too real.

It was so true that even when I woke up, I could still smell the burnt black smell. It was just a dream, a dream scared by her.

In the second half of the night, Gu Hansheng no longer sleeps.

He went to the study to deal with things and held a video conference with the team of heads of foreign branches in the middle of the night.

On the other side of the screen, a blonde foreign female employee spoke with a colleague beside her in English and praised how handsome and attractive Gu Hansheng was on the screen.

...

This night, Besson Road was not all normal.

Liang Shu had a high fever in the middle of the night, and the hot temperature made her wake up from a deep sleep.

It's too uncomfortable.

She opened her mouth and found that her throat was sore that it was very difficult to speak.

Fingers smeared and stretched out to the bedside table. She didn't know what she touched on the floor, and there was a crackling noise.

When this sound rang, she realized that she didn't even bring her mobile phone.

After lying on the bed for a while, she stood up, turned on the light, took the kerchief on the bedside table and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then she supported the wall to pour some water outside.

——

Aunt Mei was awakened from her sleep by that "boom".

It was like the sound of something heavy suddenly falling to the ground.

She abruptly got up from the bed, turned on the light, took the shawl over her shoulders, got out of the bed and put on her shoes to go out, a series of movements almost in one go.

When she walked to the living room, she slapped on the light--

In the slightly crowded living room, Liang Shu fell to the ground, and Jiang Jiucheng stood in front of the fallen Liang Shu with a cup of water.

When the lights came on, Jiang Jiucheng was shocked. He raised his eyes to Aunt Mei’s gloomy look at the bedroom door. He shook his fingers. He didn’t hold the cup with his fingers, and the plastic cup smashed on the ground. Most of the water inside was spilled. Liang Shu's face.

Jiang Jiucheng was so frightened that he fell to the ground, looked at Liang Shu, and he kept backing away, and then quickly raised his head to look at Aunt Mei. Jiang Jiucheng tremblingly shook his head and waved, "Pianpian, it's not me, not me... I just got water here. , I don’t know someone in front of her, she fell to the ground suddenly by herself..."

Aunt Mei rushed over and first gave Jiang Jiucheng a slap in the face.

Then he pushed him away, and Aunt Mei helped Liang Shu up. Almost as soon as she touched Liang Shu's body, Aunt Mei's eyebrows turned into Chuan.

The heat on her body was scorching hot.

At this moment, the woman's face flushed, and her face was full of drops of water.

Aunt Mei pulled the handkerchief in her hand and wiped the water droplets from her face and neck. Jiang Jiucheng saw the traces all over Liang Shu's body at this time.

He pointed to Liang Shu, startled to hesitate, "She...she...how..."

Aunt Mei threw the drenched veil on Jiang Jiucheng, and while struggling to support Liang Shu up, she shouted at him, "Why don't you call an ambulance, why are you just stunned?!"

Jiang Jiucheng was also frightened and stupefied, so he slipped the kerchief into his pocket and crawled all over the floor looking for the phone.

When the ambulance arrived, Liang Shu was being carried downstairs by Aunt Mei. In the narrow corridor, Jiang Jiucheng turned on the electric tube to illuminate the front.

He was very scared, and his mind was full of the man he saw at the Imperial City Club that day.

The indifferent man who opened his mouth and closed his mouth was in control of the life and death of others.

Later, he was too scared, afraid that the other party would find him again. He had been a man with his **** for a while, and he did not dare to inquire about the identity of the other party because he was not sure whether they were still staring at him.

He thought it was over.

But today Liang Shu appeared in front of him covered with scars, and Jiang Jiucheng was scared.

The details of what happened at the Imperial City Club that night appeared in Jiang Jiucheng’s mind. Without knowing the purpose of the other party, he told all the things he knew about Liang Shu and Jiang Pingsheng, and he asked these people to find Liang. Relieve the trouble.

Jiang Jiucheng had a bullying and hard-working character. He had almost no principles. At that time, he couldn't manage that much to protect himself. Liang Shu's life and death had nothing to do with him at all.

But now Liang Shu appeared in front of Aunt Mei with this attitude... Jiang Jiucheng didn't dare to think about it.

With a ghost in his heart, he would inevitably slip when he went down the stairs. He stepped on the empty foot and rolled onto the stairway between the stairs.

"Ouch……"

Aunt Mei also almost fell because of his actions. She stood on the steps and yelled at Jiang Jiucheng, "Are you going to die? The next stairs are so empty, your body was finally hollowed out by those women?"

Jiang Jiucheng hurriedly got up and continued to illuminate her, without saying a word.

Aunt Mei snorted coldly, "Forget it if you die outside, come back in the middle of the night and dare not even turn on the lights. What disgusting things did you do?!"

Her voice is not small, and this building is not soundproof. The grumpy residents open the door and swear at them, "In the middle of the night, will the dead rush to bury them? Give you Nima's coffin board if you quarrel. It's so pulpy!"

Aunt Mei scolded something even worse when she heard the words.

By the way, this is the true portrayal of Yucheng Beisen Road. Few people living here are qualified.

This is the second floor, and Aunt Mei continued to carry Liang Shu downstairs after scolding.

Some nurses were impatient with waiting down there. They rushed up and glared at Aunt Mei, "It's noisy, what's the noisy? Don't you know the patient can't delay it?"

Aunt Mei snorted coldly, and walked forward over the nurse, "One by one, without worry, I will die outside cleanly!"

...

Liang Shu had a high fever of nearly 40 degrees.

If this degree is a few hours later, people will have to waste it.

After going through the emergency channel, a series of inspections were completed, but in the end, the temperature was still not lowered, and some drips were put on her. There were nurses taking turns to cool her physically with ice cubes.

The doctor in a white coat walked out of the emergency room, and Aunt Mei followed along and said, "Doctor, how is it?"

The white coat took off the glasses on the bridge of the nose, and then raised his hand to pinch the bridge of the nose, "The high fever will not go away. Tonight, let's see if the temperature can come down. If it can't, the situation will be dangerous. You may need to be transferred..."

Aunt Mei was stunned, her face was anxious, "Doctor, how can it be so serious?"

"No way, her fever can't go down, it depends on the situation tonight."

The white coat looked at Aunt Mei with a more solemn expression, and then said, "If she gets better tomorrow, I suggest you do another sexual assault test. There will be so many injuries to the naked eye, not to mention the invisible. "

The doctor left after speaking.

Aunt Mei stepped back again and again, her nails sinking deeply into the palms of her hands, she leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, and there was no look in her eyes.

And Jiang Jiucheng was also very scared.

If it is usual, according to his temperament, he will probably gloat for a while. This woman usually keeps pressing on him, with a look of fearlessness and fearlessness. If it were not for Aunt Mei to stand in the middle every time, it is estimated that she would have died in her hands. On it.

But now that Jiang Jiucheng heard this, his heart is very heavy.

He appeared to be more silent than Aunt May, staring at the lights in the emergency room with a complicated expression.

The hospital in the early hours of the morning was very quiet.

The world in sight is all white.

Aunt Mei sat motionless on the chair in the corridor, her hair was a bit messy, her face was ugly and pale, as if she had been taken away for a moment.

Jiang Jiucheng stayed with her and dared not say a word.

Later, he couldn't stand it anymore, and his heart was particularly tormented, so he went to the smoking area to smoke in silence.

Inhaling cheap and inferior cigarettes into his lungs finally alleviated a trace of anxiety in his heart. The trouser pockets were moist, and Jiang Jiucheng twisted his eyebrows and reached in and took out the thing.

It was the veil that Aunt Mei pulled from Liang Shu's hand to wipe off the drops of water on Liang Shu's face. She threw it on her body at the time, and he was anxious and put the veil into his trouser pocket.

At this moment, under the clear light, Jiang Jiucheng was jumping heartily, and he slowly unfolded the veil.

It was exactly four or five o'clock in the morning.

Aunt Mei came all the way, and saw that he was smoking a cigarette against the wall with his back to her, and was about to call him. In sight, Jiang Jiucheng sat on the ground, as if he was suddenly frightened.

"Jiang Jiucheng!"

Jiang Jiucheng quickly picked up the handkerchief on the ground and held it in the palm of his hand. Then he stood up on the wall and looked at Aunt Mei, "Why...what's wrong?"

He pinched the burning cigarette with his index finger and thumb and delivered it to his mouth, but did not notice that the burning side was facing his lips, "Ah—"

His lips were scalded, Jiang Jiucheng hurriedly threw the cigarette **** in his hand, and then reached out to cover his lips.

Aunt Mei stood aside and snorted, "What were you hiding just now?"

Jiang Jiucheng clenched the veil in his hand and shook his head, "No, I...I'm too sleepy, and my mouth was burned by the smoke...I am sober now."

"The last thing you want to let me know is what you did wrong, otherwise I will never finish with you."

"What's the matter with me?" Jiang Jiucheng said indifferently.

"There is a porridge in the north of the city. Go and buy some porridge there. She didn't eat all day yesterday. If she wakes up in the morning, she has to eat something."

"The north of the city is an hour's drive from here..."

Aunt Mei's face sank, Jiang Jiucheng hurriedly said again, "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go right away..."

Then he stumbled and fled and left.

Aunt Mei returned to the door of the emergency room, and turned around restlessly, the sole of the middle heel stepped on the smooth marble surface with a crisp sound.

In this empty and quiet corridor, the sound again and again made it extremely gloomy.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

Liang Shu's high fever has subsided, and Aunt Mei breathed a sigh of relief.

She took the elevator to the outpatient department on the first floor to pay, and when she got out of the elevator, she passed two tall men dressed in black.

When paying the fee, the other party told her that the patient's fee in this ward had been paid, and even estimated that it was tens of thousands of dollars.

Aunt Mei returned to the ward, but her heart was like a mist.

Liang Shu is not a single ward. There are three beds in the room. In the morning, Aunt Mei heard the nurse on duty saying that the beds in the hospital are tight, but at the moment there are no patients in Liang Shu's bed.

She even took a trip to the first floor of the outpatient department. There seemed to be a lot less people on this floor, and it was much quieter.

...

Gu Hansheng couldn't hide the fact that Liang Shu was sick.

But Ji Shen only told him the next morning when Gu Hansheng had finished his regular meeting.

It was already eleven o'clock in the morning.

He was sitting behind the executive desk with a cup of black coffee. The strong coffee smell stimulated Ji Chen's breath. You don't need to taste it to know the heart and lungs of this coffee.

Upon hearing Ji Shen's words, Gu Hansheng's sip of coffee couldn't fit in his mouth.

He swallowed this sip of coffee and felt terribly bitter. When he put down the cup, a dark brown liquid splashed on his fingers. The man twisted his eyebrows and his tone was calm, "What's the matter?"

Ji Shen nodded, "My wife may have a cold. She caught a cold last night and was sent to the hospital overnight. There should be nothing serious now."

After reporting the situation, he told Gu Hansheng the address of the hospital along with the ward number.

However, Gu Hansheng raised his eyes and glanced at him with a very faint look, and then took a sip of his coffee before slowly spitting out two words, "It's troublesome."

Ji Shen, "???"

He stood still, and the man glanced at him again, "Not going out yet?"

"Yes." Ji Shen nodded hurriedly.

Before closing the door and leaving, Ji Shen looked at the executive table again, and saw that the boss was looking down and wiping the liquid coffee on his hands with the kerchief.

This is too troublesome for him.

If something really happened to Liang Shu, Ji Shen would not believe that he would not blow up.

...

After Jiang Jiucheng led the congee back in the morning, he disappeared without seeing anyone for a whole day.

Aunt Mei stayed in Liangshu for one day.

In the middle of the night, someone suddenly called her phone and asked her to pick up Jiang Jiucheng. She had to go in person, otherwise Jiang Jiucheng would be finished.

Liang Shu was groggy all day after taking the medicine, and he was asleep now. Aunt Mei didn't think much and left the hospital.

Then Gu Han was born.
