Once Upon A One Night Stand

It only took half a day for the news to spread all over the city. Although it had nothing to do with him, it involved Ling Junze and the Ling's Hospital, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

At this moment, the copy of the CCTV footage was a hot potato. He could neither throw it away nor keep it with him. If he threw it away, he would put Shu Tian in a difficult situation. If he kept it himself, Ling Junze would be the one that was responsible.

Either way was not what he wanted.

Originally, he only needed to pull some strings to stall for a time from the police, but now because of Jiang Chujing's phone call, everything was in a mess.

Besides, he wanted to know how could she be so sure that Zhang Lancheng had already died.

It stood out a mile that Jiang Chujing was in a panic. Under such circumstances, no matter how superb her acting skills were, it was impossible for her to conceal her emotions.

It was also because of this that she did not continue to cover up the truth. Instead, she deliberately distorted the truth, "Yes, I just know. Because I saw Shu Tian holding the injector. If my grandmother was not dead, why didn't you let me see her, let alone the fact that she was already in poor health!"

"Well, then tell me why did you call someone with ulterior motives to the hospital in the middle of the night?!" After all, it was Jiang Chujing who arranged the meeting.

"I didn't know she would be so crazy. I just wanted to make it clear to her that I wanted to use this as an excuse to get her out, but I didn't expect..." Jiang Chujing burst into tears. She cried so pitifully as if she had lost the most important person in her life. "I didn't expect her to be so vicious that she wouldn't even leave an elderly be!"

"Vicious?" Looking at her tearful face, Li Han felt more ironic than pityful. "I'll find out the vicious criminal."

"Li Han!" Seeing that he was about to leave, Jiang Chujing roared. But the man was determined to leave. She rushed forward and hugged his back, pressing her face against his. "I have already lost my parents because of you, and now I have to bid farewell to my last family because of the person you love. As long as you had any compassion, you shouldn't have treated me like this!"

[...]

"You suspect I am the one who has killed my own grandmother?" Jiang Chujing chuckled. She smiled so helplessly and pitifully that she had already turned herself into the victim in her heart, and Shu Tian the perpetrator." No matter how much I hate her and however vicious she is, how can I kill my family? I'm human too! Now my grandma has gone. Is there anything wrong with my feeling heartbroken, sad, and angry, and wanting to expose Shu Tian? I just want justice!"

Jiang Chujing was right in every word of these words, but it became a knife stabbing in Li Han's heart. She aimed everything at Shu Tian and blamed everything on her. How could he believe that Shu Tian was a murderer?

When he had seen Shu Tian for the first time, he had known clearly that she was pure and beautiful, incomparable. Her eyes were curved with laughter, and when she cried, the crystal tears never stop rolling, which made his heart skip.

A vicious person would not have such a pair of moving eyes. How could he not believe Shu Tian when she cried and told him?

Li Han broke away from the woman behind him. He didn't even look at her. He just tilted his face slightly, like a charity. "I'll find out the truth. As for the death of your parents... They did die because of me. I owe a duty to them, but not to you."

"I'm their daughter. Why don't you owe me a favor?" Jiang Chujing was cut deep by his words. The death of her parents was the biggest blow to her life. "How dare you say such things so lightly? They are my flesh and blood. You have no idea what their death means to me!"

This was the first time in so many years that Jiang Chujing had said these words so bluntly. It was not because that she did not care, but because she had forgotten to hate under Li Han's care for a long time. Now, his words rekindled the hatred buried in her heart.

"If they were still alive, they wouldn't let me live like this: staying in the same room every day, unable to go anywhere or see anything. You blamed me for pestering you, occupying you, and even falling in love with you, but I didn't want my life to be like this! Except you, there is nothing in this world that I can't bear to part. How could I live without you!"

They were destined to be bound and torture each other. Unless someone left forever, they would continue to pester each other to the end.

Li Han felt like carrying a hundred times the weight of the load. He was like an old man walking alone in the desert. His back was bent and his footsteps were unsteady. He had thought of giving up countless times but had to continue moving forward.

He was so, so tired.

Jiang Chujing was still crying, but Li Han did not stop. He opened the door without even looking back.

As the door was locked with a "click", it was followed by a brief calm.

His heart was beating fast, and so was his pulse. His blood was throbbing in his limbs. He was anxious to find something to balance the qi and blood.

Li Han walked quickly into the elevator. He did not know how many steps he had taken and how many turns he had made. He only knew that when he opened the door and saw the familiar face, he could no longer resist the force in his body.

Looking at the man walking towards her with red eyes, Shu Tian was a little dumbfounded. "Why are you... Mmm!"

Before she could finish speaking, a dark shadow appeared in front of her. The man's cold thin lips pressed against hers, making her soft lips twist between his teeth. He kissed her so fiercely as if he wanted to swallow her whole. He didn't care when his teeth hit the corner of her mouth several times.

Shu Tian could hardly breathe on her own at that moment. She was like a stranded fish, and he was her seawater. She could only breathe when he got close to her, so she could only follow him.

In an extremely tense mood, it was useless to say anything. Only by feeling each other's existence so closely could they get some breath.

They were too lonely and sad. The unspeakable pain could only be relieved when they hugged each other.

Li Han was sweating profusely as if he had been soaked. His coat was unbuttoned at some point, and his shirt was drenched. He never let go of the woman in his arms and pushed her to the bed with such gentle force. "Tian, Tian..."

He called her name so intimately, but Shu Tian could hear the helplessness and bitterness in it. He was asking her, "Tian, what should I do about you? Are you the one who...

Shu Tian knew everything but could not ease the pain he felt. The water-like tolerance was also like a soft trap. She did not know what to do.

Outside, countless cameras with long and short lenses were aimed at the magnificent hospital building, and those cold peeping eyes were trying to find the "truth" they wanted.

In the room, Shu Tian turned into a pool of water, a feather, and whatever he liked, and tried to comfort the man who was about to collapse.

Love affairs between men and women often went straight to the heart, and a happy exchange also hit the bottom of Shu Tian's heart.

Yes, since he was already so tired, why would she force him harder?

After some time, Shu Tian gradually calmed down. She endured the pain and picked up her clothes to put on. Recently, she had lost a lot of weight and looked even taller. Standing in front of him, she looked like a cold pine bamboo.

So when she said this calmly, he could no longer pretend to be calm-

"I'll go to the police station."
