[R18] These men are poisonous – “These Men Are Poisonous” Chapter 201 [English]

do you like he?

Time passed by, and after Qiu Yibai lowered his right hand holding the phone with a pale face, Gao Xia started another round of endless phone calls.

Other news was playing on the TV screen. Zuo Ning didn’t know how long it had been. She only knew that even though Wen Kaian, who was closest to her, had gone up to hug her tightly. His hands and chest were obviously so warm, but her own body was still cold.

From the body to the bottom of my heart.

She remembered that summer nine years ago, when she received the college admission notice and happily prepared dinner at home.

It was her eighteenth birthday, and her parents and two brothers, who had been discussing business out of town, came back specially to celebrate her.

They said on the phone that the business was concluded, the company’s crisis would be resolved soon, and the Jiang family would make a comeback.

It was originally a day of three blessings. While she was guarding the fragrant soup pot in the kitchen, she was thinking endlessly about her happy life in the future.

But inadvertently, she received news on her mobile phone that someone witnessed a major series of car accidents at the highway intersection outside the Western Ring Road.

Calculating the time and place, her family would indeed pass by there, but she didn’t believe it was such a coincidence.

She called hurriedly, over and over again. She dialed the numbers of the four people countless times, but no one answered at all.

She kept comforting herself, it must be that the signal on the highway was not good, their cell phones must have been muted, or they had arrived in the community and deliberately refused to answer, to give her a surprise.

Finally, there was movement on the other side of the phone, and she thought all the panic was over.

But after a long period of rustling, a strange voice came from over there.The person said that he was the on-site rescue worker and the owner of the mobile phone. He had died after ineffective rescue efforts.

Not one cell phone owner, but four, a family of four in the same car.

She didn’t know how she rushed to the scene. She only knew that the bodies of her family members had not been taken away. She only knew that the place with blood and cries on the ground had been a hell in her memory for many years to come.

And every time she recalls it, her chest hurts so much that she can’t breathe.

At this moment, now, being held in Wen Kai’an’s arms, she once again experienced the fear, the helplessness, the heartache and suffocation feeling.

Did something happen to Qiu Yimo?

Can’t Qiu Yimo come back?

Will the man who accompanied her up the mountain to watch the sunrise and kneeled in front of her to propose to her a few days ago, not come back?

Before he left, he told her that he would wait for her to come back.

Just like nine years ago, my mother said on the phone that she would be waiting for you, and she would be back soon, and she would bring her a gift.

She waited, but they never came back.

Where is Qiu Yimo?Will you come back?

“He’s okay.” Gao Xia breathed a long sigh of relief, looked at Qiu Yibai and Zuo Ning who were still sitting blankly, and said slowly again, “He’s okay, the call has been connected.”

Zuo Ning raised his head and looked at Gao Xia blankly. He was obviously right in front of her, but she felt that his voice was so far away that it was all blurry in her ears.

“What did you say…?” As soon as she opened her mouth, her throat was so dry that it hurt, and her voice was already hoarse.

“Qiu Yimo is okay.” Gao Xia handed the phone to her ear, and soon the man’s familiar voice came from inside.

“Ning Ning.”

Upon hearing these two words, her body trembled even more than before.

“Are you… okay?” Even his lips and tongue were trembling.

“I’m fine.” The man’s voice was a little hoarse and he seemed to be very tired, “Don’t worry, it’s fine.”

“Then…are you injured?”

“No.”

“Don’t lie to me! Gao Xia has lied to me once before. Don’t lie to me again!” All the voices turned into choked sobs, and the person on the other end of the phone would definitely be able to hear such an obvious cry.

Qiu Yimo was silent for two seconds and whispered: “I didn’t lie to you. I had a fever last night and didn’t go out today. The shooting happened in the hotel lobby. I live on the seventeenth floor.”

Hearing Zuo Ning gritting his teeth and holding back his cry, Qiu Yimo’s voice softened a little: “Hey, don’t cry, I’m fine.”

“Who is crying? I’m not crying!” She pushed away the mobile phone in Gao Xia’s hand, but she hugged her knees and buried her whole body in her arms and cried loudly, until her whole body was shaking and her voice was completely hoarse.

She didn’t know why she was so uncontrollable when she heard that the man was fine.

Maybe she was thinking of the desperate and helpless self nine years ago, maybe she was slowly accumulating certain emotions somewhere in her heart that she didn’t know, or maybe she finally knew that she was actually still afraid all the time.

As before, I am afraid of losing, very, very afraid.

Ignoring Qiu Yimo’s inquiry and hanging up the phone, Gao Xia quietly looked at the embarrassed woman on the sofa with a complicated look in his eyes.

There were four other men who had the same complicated emotions as he.

Especially Yu Haonan, who had been full of joy before, now no longer had any smile on his face.

Qiu Yibai’s right hand’s joints turned white because he held the phone too hard, but he didn’t know how he felt at the moment.

You should be happy, right?After all, the person he was worried about, his brother, was fine.

But, how could he not be happy?

The five men just sat quietly, each with their own thoughts.

It wasn’t until Zuo Ning’s sobs became smaller and smaller, and until her emotions gradually calmed down, that Qiu Yibai looked at her blankly: “You like him, right?”

Zuo Ning’s eyes were red and swollen, and there were still tears on his face. When he asked him, he was stunned for a moment.

Does she like Qiu Yimo?

Like it?But she didn’t have much contact with that man. She didn’t even understand that man. How could she like him?

Don’t like it?So what is everything that just happened?

What was her panic, her embarrassment, and the uncontrollable pain in her heart?

Facing the complicated looks in the eyes of the five men, she subconsciously dodged and began to feel uneasy in her heart.

It’s not the kind of uneasiness that comes from being watched by everyone, but the kind of uneasiness that comes from deep inside her heart, the kind of uneasiness that her emotions cannot be controlled by reason.

She remembered the question Luo Xiaotong asked her before: Can a person really be strong enough to control all his feelings? If he says he doesn’t want love, does he really not love?

She actually never knew the answer.

The mobile phone in her pocket beeped twice, and she sighed feebly. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Qiu Yimo:

I love you and wait for my return.
