C38 So We've Known Each Other for a Long Time

In the summer of her third year, Lin Xi was amazed by the beautiful photos of Provence online. Once the summer vacation was over, she dragged her suitcase to France without hesitation.

Provence was indeed very beautiful. There were sea of flowers and castles there. There was a rich and slightly spicy scent of smoked grass and the fragrance of red wine that drifted with the wind.

In order to better experience the local style, Lin Xi lived in a sunflower manor in the countryside. There were also large patches of sunflowers there, other than smoked grass.

Coincidentally, the one that she rented there with her was also a sunflower. There were also two other people from China who were her temporary neighbors.

One of them was Qiao Mingyu, who had just debuted and was not very famous. He was here to take pictures. At that time, they were not very familiar with each other. They would only talk to each other occasionally when they met. The other neighbor was very mysterious. She was always elusive, and she had never met him before. In the vague introduction of the manor owner, she knew that he was also a Chinaman. A man.

Lin Xi did not often travel alone.

Initially, she came to Provence to plan for the family to be together, but Lin Qian fell sick at the last minute. Although it was just a common cold and fever, in her mother's eyes, it was like the sky had collapsed. She wanted to stay at home to take care of Lin Qian and was afraid that Lin Qian's condition would worsen. She could not take care of it by herself and also did not allow her father to go abroad. So in the end, The only person who really came to Provence was Lin Xi.

Although a person would occasionally be a little bored, most of the time, he would be able to enjoy the fun of traveling better. When she thought about how her father was very busy at home and her mother only walked around Lin Qian, Lin Xi quickly decided to stay here for the entire summer vacation.

But plans could not keep up with changes. Her life in the manor ended early because of a big fire.

That night, Lin Xi was suddenly woken up by the heat in the middle of the night.

Although the summer in Provence was hot, there was an air conditioner in the room of the manor. Last night, she had turned on the air conditioner to sleep, but now the air conditioner had stopped.

At first, she thought it was just a sudden blackout, but when she felt the abnormal heat waves in the air and smelled something burnt in the air, she realized that the villa had caught fire.

The owner of the manor did not live here. She would only bring people over when there were occasional guests renting houses. The people who usually looked after the manor were the farmers nearby. Only the three of them, the three of them, lived in the manor.

When Lin Xi ran out of the room, she found that Qiao Mingyu had also run out and was calling for a fire engine in the courtyard.

The fire had started in the room of the tenant who had never shown his face. The surrounding houses were also affected. Fortunately, the fire had not spread very quickly, so it had not yet burned her and Qiao Mingyu's houses.

After Qiao Mingyu hung up the phone, he looked at the place where the fire was the most intense and said, "It must be because no one has lived in that house for a long time, and the electrical appliances were not kept properly. That's why the fire was accidentally triggered. "

After saying his guess, he also suggested to let Lin Xi hide outside the manor with her before the fire truck arrived.

Lin Xi was just about to leave with him when she suddenly heard a muffled groan beside her ear.

Although the sound was not loud, she could tell that it came from the house with the most heat. It was the third tenant's room.

"There might be people inside. " As Lin Xi spoke, she approached the house and shouted a few times.

As expected, he heard a few more grunts.

"There really is someone inside!"

Lin Xi turned around and found a wet blanket. She put it on and was about to enter the house to save the person.

Qiao Mingyu pulled her and said, "You are crazy! The fire is so big now. You will lose your life if you go in! And. . . We've been here for almost half a month. When did you see someone living in that house? That tenant might have left long ago. He just didn't tell the landlord. We can't save the fire now, so we should just wait for the fire truck to come. "

" Maybe he didn't live here before, but what if he suddenly came back last night? There was clearly someone in the house. You also heard the sound just now. He must have been injured. That's why he couldn't escape. This was the countryside. When the fire trucks arrived, There will be no hope for him. " Lin Xi said anxiously and then ignored him. She stubbornly barged into the house.

Fortunately, the people here were simple and honest. There was no anti-theft door or anything like that installed outside the house. There was only a lock in the house. Lin Xi immediately knocked the door open.

Unexpectedly, other than the smoke in the house, there was not much light fire in the house. The fire seemed to be burning from the outside of the house to the inside.

Lin Xi pulled up a corner of the wet blanket to cover her mouth and nose, but her eyes were quickly stung by the smog and she could not open her eyes. She tried to shout twice, but the people in the room did not respond to her this time.

Lin Xi guessed that he might have fainted. In order to find him as soon as possible, she could only stare hard and search in the burning smoke.

But this room was almost twice her size. Just as she was about to give up, she finally found the person who fainted in the corner.

He was injured. Lin Xi touched the bloodstains on his body and there were also bloodstains on his face. The viscous bloodstains and black smoke covered half of his face, making it hard for people to see his appearance clearly.

This was the first time Lin Xi saw such a bloody scene and she was extremely afraid. It was not until the person on the ground groaned in pain that she suddenly came back to her senses and started to drag him out of the house.

The other party was a tall adult man. It was very difficult for Lin Xi to pull him up from the ground. Just when she was about to be exhausted, Qiao Mingyu also rushed in wearing a wet blanket. The two of them looked at each other and did not say anything. They worked together to drag the injured man into the yard.

No one knew when the rain started outside. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the fire was gradually controlled. The rain became the grace of the Sunflower Manor. At least the sunflower and the smoked grass in the manor could be saved.

Soon, the fire truck and ambulance arrived as well.

When Lin Xi and Qiao Mingyu went in to save people, they were more or less injured, especially Lin Xi's eyes. Because the smoke had been too hot for too long, they were crying nonstop. It was so painful that they almost did not dare to open their eyes. Thus, the three of them were sent to the hospital together.

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor used a medicine to wash Lin Xi's eyes. Then, he used a thick gauze to bandage her eyes. The doctor said that her cornea had been damaged. In order not to affect her vision in the future, she could not see for at least a month.

Next, her manor life was changed to a hospital life.

Other than her eyes not being able to see light for a period of time, Lin Xi's body did not have any other major problems. She was afraid that her father would be worried, so she did not tell her family about her hospitalization. She only hired a nurse for herself.

She asked the nurse to inquire about the situation of her two neighbors and found out that their lives were not in danger. Only then did she feel relieved.

The life in the hospital was dull and boring until one day, she suddenly realized that there was another person in her hospital bed.

Although her eyes could not see, she could feel his aura. It was completely different from the aura of a caretaker who took care of her.

"Who are you?" Lin Xi asked curiously.

"Yin. . . " The other party answered her two vague syllables.

His voice was coarse and hoarse. Before he could finish his sentence, he coughed for a while. It sounded like his throat was injured.

"You said you were my neighbor?"

Lin Xi tried her best to integrate the syllables he spoke. It was not easy for her to guess that the other party might have said the word "neighbor. "

The other party made a sound of agreement. He had clearly said the words with only one syllable.

Since they were neighbors, Lin Xi immediately thought of Qiao Mingyu and only thought of Qiao Mingyu.

After all, the other neighbor was too mysterious. Lin Xi only saw him once when she saved him and had not seen his face clearly. Furthermore, he was covered in blood at that time. He must have been seriously injured and would not be able to get out of bed so quickly to find her.

Ever since that day, her neighbor, who had a bad throat and couldn't speak, had become a frequent guest in her ward. She never would have thought that a blind person and a mute could get along so well.

The other person was considerate and patient, and she even took good care of her. That was why the caregiver that Lin Xi hired took the initiative to find Lin Xi to resign and said that the other party took charge of all of her work. She was already too embarrassed to continue getting her salary.

Most of the time when the two of them were together, it was Lin Xi who said that the other party was listening. When he was in high spirits, Lin Xi would even sing for him. The other party used his cool fingers to hold her hand. He taught her how to use her feelings to get to know all kinds of things. He also taught her some strange things. For example, a simple defensive technique, as well as how to use it when one's movements are restricted. . . He quickly untied the ropes on his body.

Although she couldn't see it with her eyes, she felt that her daily life was even more wonderful.

At that time, the happiest thing that happened to her every day was when she heard the clock on the bed ring. That clock was specially placed by the nurse at the bedside because she could not see it with her eyes. It was used to remind her that it was dark at dawn.

When the alarm clock rang, the sky would be up and she would be able to see her neighbors again.

But a few days before Lin Xi's eyes were about to tear the gauze apart, her neighbor suddenly said that she had something to do and needed to leave for a few days, but she would come back before she could remove the gauze.

Lin Xi reluctantly said goodbye to him.

But on the day she removed the gauze, she did not wait for him. Instead, she waited for her father.

When his father saw that she did not report to school in time after school started, he checked and found out that she was injured overseas. He hurriedly threw away the things he had on hand and ran over. Coincidentally, her eyes had been removed from the gauze. After checking, everything was normal and she could be discharged and go home.

Lin Xi still waited in the hospital for an extra day, but she still did not see anyone.

The next day, she went to check the hospital's records and found out that Qiao Mingyu had been discharged half a month ago. Furthermore, when the hospital returned a few days ago, the other party said that he had already returned to the country.

Lin Xi did not feel disappointed. On the contrary, after Qiao Mingyu was discharged, he insisted on coming to the hospital to take care of her, which made her feel even more touched.

She had unknowingly fallen in love with the neighbor who took care of her and made her laugh. People in love could always find a hundred excuses for the people they liked.

So, as to why Qiao Mingyu would return to the country without saying a word, Lin Xi felt that it must be because he suddenly encountered a very troublesome problem.

Lin Xi also returned to the country with her father very quickly.

After returning to the country, she very easily found Qiao Mingyu. Then, in order to get close to him, she dropped out of school and started acting. Three years later, she finally got what she wanted and married him.

She had never doubted that Qiao Mingyu was not the person who took care of her in the hospital until she finished listening to Yao Jing's story.

She suddenly remembered that Qiao Mingyu had never personally admitted that the person who took care of her in Provence Hospital was him. Furthermore, after returning to the country, he suddenly did not like to talk about what happened in Provence anymore.

Lin Xi suddenly became uncertain.

She started to chase after Qiao Mingyu after returning to the country. She got married half a year ago and died on the day of her marriage. This was exactly the same as what Yao Jing had said just now.

Furthermore, she saw Qin Yu go to her grave with her own eyes and give her a bunch of sunflowers.

Could it be that she had made a mistake from the beginning?

Lin Xi anxiously asked Yao Jing again, "Every time Qin Yu went back to France to mourn his mother, was it Provence? Was he rescued from the fire by that girl? Other than the gunshot wound on his hand, Was his throat also injured and he couldn't speak?"
