Chapter 65(1/2)
Cheng Lang tried his five fingers until his joints turned white. He grabbed the piece of collar and picked up the person and smashed it hard towards the glass wine cabinet beside him.
There was a dull "bang" sound, and guests from all sides screamed and dodged.
Seeing that something was going to happen if this continued, Jiang stopped Cheng Lang and gritted his teeth and whispered to him: "Are you going to make a life?"
Xu Qiao also came back from her dumbfounded eyes. Although she didn't understand what was going on now, she remembered one thing - Cheng Lang couldn't touch women.
She turned around to observe his condition and found that his arms, which were being pulled by Jiang Fang, were trembling slightly, and his face gradually became pale.
"What's going on, you?" Jiang Fang pulled Cheng Lang away panting and asked him what he was doing.
This question made Xu Qiao realize that Jiang Fang didn't seem to know Cheng Lang's hidden disease. Otherwise, his first reaction would be to pull Cheng Lang away from the scene to prevent his abnormality from being discovered.
The scene was chaotic and disorderly, and the waiter rushed to rescue the scene. Onlookers pointed at the side and even picked up their mobile phones to shoot videos.
Xu Qiao's mind was in chaos, and many thoughts flashed through him at the same time, such as, if Cheng Lang's hidden disease was exposed to the public's view, what kind of bad impact would it have on him? If the video news of Cheng Lang's violence in public spread, what kind of bad consequences would it have on the Cheng family and even Lan Chen.
No matter what, the most urgent task is to take Cheng Lang away.
Seeing that the sweat on his forehead became increasingly dense, Xu Qiao stepped forward and took his arm: "Come with me!" Then he turned around and asked Jiang Fang, "Do you a favor to clean up the mess!"
Xu Qiao helped Cheng Lang to the bathroom, stopped in front of the washstand, and sent the waiter away.
Cheng Lang stood on the edge of the washbasin and breathed calmly without saying a word.
Xu Qiao raised his hand and stopped again when he was about to pat him on the back. He thought that this would not aggravate his condition. He stood beside him and did not dare to touch him. He took a towel from the disinfection cabinet and handed it to him.
Cheng Lang took the warm towel, his face slowly returned to blood, and looked at her: "I'm sorry."
"All right, you'd better take care of yourself first." Xu Qiao was a little bored and looked at him with a confused look on his face, "That woman didn't treat me, how could you end up with such a big mess?"
"Don't worry, someone will do the aftermath." Cheng Lang smiled at her, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel, and raised his chin, "I'll go out to explain the details to you."
At this critical moment, I really need to listen to his explanation.
Xu Qiao nodded in a depressed manner and walked out with him.
At the same time, the Assistant Cheng, who arrived from the parking lot, quickly communicated with the restaurant manager. The waiters comforted the guests around and cleared the venue aside, and handled the aftermath according to the Cheng family's wishes.
Zhu Li and Yu Jin looked at each other and looked at the woman who was curled up on the ground and hissing and breathing, and no one took action to help her.
Jiang Fang actually didn't want to help him. With Cheng Lang's demeanor and upbringing, wouldn't he really step on his minefield?
Then this must be a woman who does evil deeds!
But he is a woman at least, isn’t he?
Jiang Fang sighed, looked at the ground with a headache, stepped forward and held someone's arm, helped her up, responded without sincerity, "Is it okay?"
Before the other party could answer, an awkward sound of tearing fabric suddenly sounded: "Swish--"
The few of them were stunned and looked at the sound.
"Ah--!" Zhu Li and Yu Jin both covered their eyes.
"Damn!" Jiang let go, and threw the person back to the ground in fear.
At the same time, Xu Qiao and Cheng Lang walked around the corner.
When Xu Qiao saw this scene in shock, he was taken into his arms and blindfolded.
It was pitch black in front of her, and she trembled her eyelashes quickly, recalling the scene she had just witnessed.
After the woman fell to the ground, the corner of her skirt seemed to be hooked by the gap in the cabinet door of the glass wine cabinet. Jiang Fang was not very patient when he helped the person up, and the force made him straightforward, causing the whole skirt to be torn and taken off, and then the base socks were exposed.
And the crotch of the base socks was a big bag...that belongs to men...?
That's a woman with a handle?
No, how could a woman carry a handful?
So is this a man with a handle?
But men are carrying their hands.
So he is just a man?
Even though Xu Qiao believed that he had seen the world, he had never seen such a "big" world.
She leaned passively and dullly in Cheng Lang's arms, gasping for a breath.
Cheng Lang lowered his head, stroked her back gently, and kept repeating: "It's okay, it's okay..."
On the other side, Jiang Fanghun jumped in a daze, watching the man pick up the fragments of his skirt and limped and fled in the panic.
Zhu Li and Yu Jin touched the goose bumps on their arms.
Jiang Fang kept paced in place, swearing his inner shock with a "dream" swear word.
"Mr. Lang, she, isn't he?" Jiang Fang came over and expressed his questions incoherently.
Cheng Lang said "Yeah" to Jiang, affirming what he meant, then let go of Xu Qiao, who was still in shock, took her hand and walked out: "I'll take her out first, take care of her friends."
"Oh, okay, don't worry." Jiang Fang nodded and watched Cheng Lang and Xu Qiao leave.
——
Xu Qiao was absent-mindedly and sat in the back seat of Cheng Lang. The shocking scene just now was always in my mind. Along with this scene, there were many questions about Cheng Lang and the woman... no, that man.
No wonder Cheng Lang told her at noon this day that he had not explained the whole story clearly and hoped that she would give him some time.
At that time, she thought he wanted to make up stories sweetly, but she didn't expect that there was a lot of big things hidden here.
Cheng Lang didn't ask the driver to start the car and asked someone to go down first.
When there were only two people left in the car, he reached out to explore the back of Xu Qiao's cold hands and frowned: "Are you scared?"
"A little..." Xu Qiao thrust the corner of her mouth, "What's going on?"
Cheng Lang was silent for a moment and said slowly: "That was a transvestite patient. He had some hormone diseases, and his secondary sexual characteristics were not very obvious. His Adam's apple, voice and other aspects lacked male characteristics. Perhaps because of this, he was ridiculed by others for a long time during adolescence, which led to a certain degree of psychological distortion. Later, he deliberately took estrogen drugs to play the role of a woman."
"So you've known each other long ago?"
"I met him, but I didn't know these things when I first met him. It was only after I had an accident that my family investigated him and learned about his illness."
"What happened..." Xu Qiao's hands were tightly clasped and twisted together.
"He once approached me as a woman," Cheng Lang paused at this point, "I have had a good impression of him, as for the reason..."
He seemed to have difficulty recalling: "Objectively speaking, his female appearance does meet the aesthetics of many men, and perhaps men know men better, and he is also good at winning male favors by taking advantage of the rhetoric." He smiled with a sigh, "I have been strict in tutoring since I was a child. Grandpa did not allow me to fall in love before going to college, for fear that I would be born with wind and rain. If I get involved in these things, I will lose my ambitions. So I didn't understand the tricks of relationships between men and women at the beginning, and I didn't notice those doubts at first."
Xu Qiao was almost terrified to listen to his narration. Although this was already a distant "past", she still felt that her heart was hanging in her throat and could not get down.
"In order to hide his gender, he has always been in a close manner with me. I was asked to be a gentleman since I was a child, and of course I did not take the initiative to physically contact him. So a few times later, my friend saw that I was too obsessed with etiquette and couldn't stand it. He started a cheer at a party and pushed him onto me."
Xu Qiao held back the air conditioner.
Her nails were pulled to the seat and made a strange sound. Cheng Lang turned around and smiled as if comforting her: "Nothing big is going to happen."
Then he streamlined the narrative: "Because of this sudden contact, I discovered his gender. This was the opportunity for me to get sick. In fact, there were many victims like me, but it seemed that I was the only one who became like this. The psychologist analyzed that this has a lot to do with my personality and experience."
This may not cause such a big shadow on ordinary people, but the formation of mental illness involves many factors.
During his adolescence, Cheng Lang was strictly restricted by his elders in his gender relationship. He was too closed in this regard. In addition, he had been smooth sailing since childhood, never suffered any blows, and had a particularly strong personality and good face. Therefore, this incident became a major setback in his subconscious.
At that party, he even came to the end.
In fact, even if he told anyone at that time, it would not become a cause of disease.
But he never mentioned it, but after the incident, because of the same school, he still looked down with the other party without looking up. The other party's existence reminded him of this encounter at all times, and this crux of nature was never solved.
"I'm sorry, because I really can't say it, I haven't told you about this." Cheng Lang said solemnly to Xu Qiao.
Xu Qiao lowered her head and looked at the tip of her shoes silently, her nose was a little sore. She calmed down for a while before nodding slowly, and asked as if she remembered something: "Then will he harass you later?"
"No." Cheng Lang explained, "After my parents learned about my illness, they transferred him out of the school through some means and asked him to go to other countries to be an exchange student. He did not return to London until I graduated. I met him a few days ago, and it was the first time he appeared in front of me after I was diagnosed."
"What did he want to do in the restaurant just now? Did he follow me?"
"Not to say, I am the one who can follow you." Cheng Lang smiled.
"..." said with a face. Xu Qiao looked at him.
"I wanted to see if you had a good dinner. After following me, I found him. He probably saw you by the neighborhood and came in temporarily. There should be no special purpose, just to disgust us. My parents forced him to send him abroad back then, and he felt a little resentful. But don't worry, this is the only time he has disturbed you, and I will send someone to pay attention to him in the future."
"Can't you send him to a mental hospital? Such a person has already endangered society!" Xu Qiao's chest was so angry that his chest fell.
"It has not met this standard, and most of the victims are as unwilling to speak out, and they turn big things into small things. After all, if such a thing is a big deal, it will kill a thousand enemies and damage eight hundred of them."
Xu Qiao was so stuffy that she sighed heavily. If it weren't for her relationship with Cheng Lang now, she would have to grit her teeth and shout to death with her anger.
"But..." Cheng Lang changed his tone and looked at her, "Actually, I'm a little grateful to him now."
Xu Qiao was stunned.
"If it weren't for him, I might not have met you at such an opportunity. I don't think it's a loss." Cheng Lang nodded with a smile on his own and repeated, "Think about it carefully, it's a loss."
Xu Qiao didn't know what kind of calculation could make him come to a conclusion that "really good" between the years of pain and torture he suffered from her.
The atmosphere in the car has become a bit ambiguous from the explanation of official business.
Xu Qiao gradually felt like he was feeling a little bit: "I...what, Zhu Li and Yu Jin are still waiting for me, I'll go find them to get along."
Cheng Lang grabbed her wrist: "Will I finish talking?"
