Chapter 77
Chapter 77:
Shen Mu moved quickly to clean up. After she cleaned up and was able to live in, the two sat by the bed together and waited for Lin Lan to come out of the bathroom.
Gradually, Jiang Wu became a little worried, she walked to the door and knocked gently, but no one answered, Jiang Wu knocked again, but there was still no other sound.
Jiang Wu remembered the doctor’s advice about Lin Lan’s unstable emotions, so he had to push the door to go in, and saw Lin Lan standing beside the sink, as if he felt that he couldn’t wash it clean. While weeping, he kept holding the water and pouring it on his face.
Lin Lan obediently changed her wet clothes and put them aside, wearing only her new underwear, maybe after a long time, the traces of violence on her body began to appear, Jiang Wu looked at Lin Lan had bruises all over her body, and she couldn’t really tell how she was feeling at this moment.
She reached out and turned off the faucet, took a bath towel and surrounded Lin Lan, then gently comforted, “It’s alright Lin Lan, it’s all over, let’s go out first.”
Shen Mu saw that the two of them came out in a low mood, and Lin Lan’s expression was even more dazed. At this time, she really needed a good rest.
Jiang Wu helped Lin Lan to lie down on the bed, Shen Mu also got up at this time and said to Jiang Wu, “I’ll go back first, you also have a rest early, tomorrow…”
Shen Mu didn’t know Jiang Wu’s specific plans for Lin Lan’s affairs, so she was a little hesitant to talk about tomorrow’s arrangements.
Jiang Wu settled Lin Lan and left the bedroom with Shen Mu to the door. She said to Shen Mu, “Tomorrow…that’s it, come pick us up in the morning, and we’ll talk later.”
Shen Mu left, and after the door closed, Jiang Wu stood alone in the door for a long time.
They met again, but Jiang Wu still felt that the other party had emptied her heart. She seemed to rely more and more on each other. Even this brief separation seemed unbearable now.
If one day, Shen Mu will give up on herself…
Jiang Wu shook her head vigorously, Lin Lan was still waiting for her inside, now is not the time for her to think wildly.
Jiang Wu returned to the bedroom, and Lin Lan stared at the chandelier on the roof with her eyes wide open. I don’t know if it was because she was afraid that tears would make her worry or there were no more tears, she just lay there silently, looking very calm.
Lin Lan heard Jiang Wu’s voice coming back, and turned her head slightly, “Lawyer Jiang, I’m sorry.”
This child has become like this, even thinking about apologizing to himself.
Jiang Wu sighed and sat beside Lin Lan.
“Tonight…”
Jiang Wu hasn’t finished speaking yet, this night alone seems to evoke Lin Lan’s unbearable memories, making her whole body tense.
Jiang Wu held Lin Lan’s hand tightly clutching the quilt, “You don’t have to say anything to me, if I’m right, you just nod, if not, you shake your head.”
“Someone trying to assault you?”
If you say this kind of thing euphemistically, it will be disrespectful to the victim. The sin should be the other party’s, not Lin Lan’s.
Lin Lan was trembling all over. Although she never looked into Jiang Wu’s eyes, she finally nodded.
Jiang Wu gently touched Lin Lan’s head, she is ten years older than Lin Lan, sometimes she looks like a younger sister.
“But you stopped the other party, didn’t you, you protected yourself, you didn’t let the other party succeed, Lin Lan, you did a good job.”
Lin Lan is the eldest child in the family. Her father died early, and her mother gave birth to several children. She was destined to lose her mother’s attention at a very young age. Taking care of her, that is, after entering Huace and getting to know the little sister Chen and lawyer Jiang at the front desk, she really felt the feeling of being cared for.
Just a few hours ago, she finally broke free from her stepfather’s imprisonment, she wanted to tell her mother all this, she hoped that this woman who never thought about herself would only This time I was able to decide for her, to keep her behind, to help her, but in the end Lin Lan was disappointed.
Shameless, shameless, doing shameful things.
Lin Lan had to run out, she was afraid that she would be beaten to death by her mother before she died of shame and anger because of such a disgusting scandal.
Jiang Wu’s voice was too warm, so warm that Lin Lan’s originally cold limbs seemed to have temperature.
What did lawyer Jiang say just now?
She said she protected herself, she did a good job, she also touched her head lightly, and the gentle movements made people feel safe.
Lin Lan didn’t want to make those who were really worried about her feel uncomfortable, she pulled up the quilt and hid inside and sobbed softly.
Jiang Wu didn’t bother her.
Sometimes it is a good thing to be able to cry, but I am afraid that my heart is really broken and I have no tears.
Lin Lan didn’t cry for too long. When she stuck her head out of the quilt again, except for her red eyes, there were no traces of tears.
I finally vented a bit, and it seems that I have recovered a lot from just now.
Jiang Wu imitated her grandmother when she was a child and patted Lin Lan, then said, “Lin Lan, do you have any plans?”
“Plan?” Lin Lan was a little at a loss.
“Want to change your life?” Jiang Wu held Lin Lan’s hand in his palm.
Change your life?
Can I really do it myself?
Lin Lan didn’t even have to give Jiang Wu a definite answer, just this possibility already lit up the fire in her heart and eyes.
“Sleep, Lin Lan, as long as you want, leave everything else to me.”
Jiang Wu’s voice was so soft, she even began to hum an unknown song, the tune was a bit like a lullaby.
Lin Lan was really tired, and gradually closed her eyes. She didn’t know when she had trusted the person named Jiang Wu so much.
It’s weird, she’s in that place called home, and around those people called family, she’ll have sleepless nights all night long, but now at Lawyer Jiang, she feels so sleepy and her eyes It also became so heavy, she wanted to sleep, she thought she could finally sleep well.
Soon, Lin Lan’s breathing became long and even.
She fell asleep.
Tomorrow, when the sun rises again, Jiang Wu hopes that all the haze surrounding this girl will gradually dissipate.
“Good night, Lin Lan.”
Jiang Wu re-tucked the quilt for Lin Lan, got up and went to the living room.
Shen Mu never said that she minds Jiang Wu sleeping with others. If Jiang Wu asks, maybe Shen Mu will answer her. In a situation like Lin Lan, there is someone sleeping with her. It’s a good thing to pay attention to her condition, but just like Jiang Wu would be sympathetic to Lin Lan’s feelings, she is now more and more able to understand Shen Mu’s heart. This guy who seems to be invincible on the surface actually has a sensitive and vulnerable person. Heart, all Shen Mu’s possessiveness towards herself is a manifestation of her unease, Jiang Wu thought, she will definitely tell Shen Mu with her actions that she will always belong to her alone.
Lin Lan slept well in an unfamiliar environment, and Jiang Wu slept well on the sofa in the old house.
The only person who didn’t sleep all night was Shen Mu, the person who had a big bed in his cozy bedroom.
It’s nice to have a big bed alone.
She rolled from one side to the other, and from the other back to this side, and when she rolled over, the sun came up.
Shen Mu looked at her watch, it was five forty.
She insisted on lying down for another twenty minutes, and it was exactly six o’clock that she got up from the bed.
If it wasn’t for fear that Lin Lan, the little girl who was frightened last night, would not be able to rest well, Shen Mu would not mind calling Jiang Wu’s door at five or six in the morning.
Shen Mu took five minutes to wash up, changed her clothes, and left without makeup, she went out quickly, she bought breakfast at a restaurant she and Jiang Wu used to eat, and arrived at the destination It was just a little after seven o’clock, and everything was just fine.
It was the door Jiang Wu opened for Shen Mu, she rubbed her eyes as if she had just woken up.
“Shuijianbao, pumpkin porridge, the one you like to eat.” Shen Mu shook the meal bag in front of Jiang Wu, and then entered the door.
She put breakfast on the dining table, and inadvertently turned back to talk to Jiang Wu, only to see Jiang Wu bending over to clean up the sofa that she slept on last night, this scene made Shen Mu immediately stunned .
“You slept here yesterday? Why didn’t you sleep in bed?” Shen Mu asked in confusion.
“The sofa is more comfortable.” Jiang Wu replied casually.
No wonder.
Shen Mu didn’t believe a word.
She stepped forward and hugged him directly from behind.
“You tell the truth, why don’t you sleep in bed.” Shen Mu refused to give up, as if she had to ask for an answer.
“Because you are not around.” Jiang Wu said softly.
Shen Mu felt that she had grown up.
After Jiang Wu answered in this way, she could let go of her hands honestly, and she could seriously ask the other party if she wanted Lin Lan to come out and have breakfast together.
She didn’t rush up to kiss her
She really grew up!
Jiang Wu tidied up the living room, got up and knocked on the bedroom door as Shen Mu wanted, and asked Lin Lan to come out for dinner.
She knocked three times, and when she pushed the door in, she saw that Lin Lan had already woken up. , looking at the scenery outside.
Jiang Wu walked to Lin Lan’s side and approached the window before she understood what the other party was looking at.
The old house in Jiang Wu is located in a very ordinary residential area. At this time, if you look outside, you can already see many passers-by in a hurry. Most of them are in a hurry. It’s the students. They wear uniforms of the same color and style, and they gather together in twos and threes with schoolbags on their backs. Some of them don’t know what they’re talking about, but they suddenly burst into laughter, even though the laughter is separated by several floors. The window panes are still audible.
The ordinary scene in the eyes of ordinary people is a distant dream for Lin Lan.
Looking at Lin Lan’s involuntary envious gaze, Jiang Wu’s heart suddenly moved, and an idea took shape.
“Lin Lan, if there is still a chance, do you want to go back to school?” Jiang Wu said suddenly.
“School, study?”
These two words were too precious, and for a while, Lin Lan didn’t know how to answer.
