Song Ge didn't say a word, just stared at Zhai Cheng.
Zhai Cheng returned to his car, grabbed the first - aid kit, and quickly bandaged Song Ge's wound. "Go back and rest. I want to be alone for a while."
He didn't want to be with Song Ge in such a terrible state. He didn't know what he might do.
Before Song Ge could react, Zhai Cheng quickly got back into his car.
Song Ge endured the pain and rushed to the car. She quickly opened the door and took the passenger seat.
Zhai Cheng looked at Song Ge helplessly. "I said I want to be alone." His tone was a bit impatient.
Song Ge naturally noticed his impatience, but she was worried. What if something happened to Zhai Cheng when he was alone?
"I won't say a word." After saying that, Song Ge made a motion of zipping her lips.
Zhai Cheng looked utterly helpless and had no choice but to start the car again.
Song Ge sat quietly without uttering a single word.
She knew that his mind was in a complete mess now and he didn't know how to face this truth. So she would accompany him through this sorrow.
At first, the car drove very slowly. Maybe Zhai Cheng was considering Song Ge's injury.
But the angrier Zhai Cheng got as he thought about it, the faster he drove unconsciously.
Song Ge instinctively grabbed the seat - belt and remained silent.
Zhai Cheng floored the accelerator, and the car sped down the road.
It almost collided with another car.
"Hey! Are you crazy? If you want to die, find a deserted place!"
Zhai Cheng's car nearly crashed into the car in front. The owner of that car was extremely angry and cursed a few words, but Zhai Cheng ignored them and kept driving.
Song Ge's body trembled slightly. She was terrified inside but kept a straight face.
The car made a sharp turn and drifted past.
Song Ge finally couldn't hold back and let out a scream.
The car raced all the way to a lake and finally came to a stop.
Zhai Cheng quickly got out of the car and rushed to the lake. Ignoring everything around him, he shouted, "Ah! Why? Why!"
This was probably his most genuine self.
He kicked a pebble in front of him with all his might.
The pebble fell into the water, slowly dispersing and creating ripples.
Song Ge also got out of the car. Looking at his back, she really wanted to go up and hug him, to give him warmth. But she knew that Zhai Cheng didn't want to be disturbed now, and he didn't want others to see him in such a pathetic state.
"Why aren't you my father? Why? Why did you do this to me?" His voice was hoarse and heart - rending.
Zhai Cheng didn't know how long he shouted. When he felt that his throat was about to give out, he finally stopped and simply lay on the ground without any grace.
Above him was the boundless blue sky, with one or two birds flying by occasionally.
He had thought of countless possibilities as to why Zhai Qintian was so strict with him, but he had never imagined that he wasn't his son!
He closed his eyes, and scenes of Zhai Qintian from his childhood to adulthood flashed before his eyes.
A tear rolled down from the corner of his eye and merged with the soil.
Seeing Zhai Cheng lying down, Song Ge dragged her injured foot over and slowly sat down beside him, saying nothing.
Zhai Cheng felt someone sitting beside him. He knew it was Song Ge. He propped himself up and suddenly hugged Song Ge.
Smelling the familiar scent, his heart calmed down a bit.
Song Ge gently patted his back, trying to comfort him.
As time passed, Zhai Cheng let go of Song Ge. He didn't feel ashamed in front of her. Instead, he stared blankly into the distance.
After a while, his deep and hoarse voice sounded.
"Is it because I'm not his biological son that he doesn't want me to live?" His tone was extremely dejected.
Song Ge shook her head. "No way." After a pause, she continued, "You've lived with him for so many years. How could there be no feelings?"
Zhai Cheng didn't say a word. Although he also thought that Zhai Qintian would accept him, what was the result...
"Actually, I think he has already accepted you. Think carefully. He has also been nice to you. It's just that he doesn't know how to express his feelings." Song Ge turned her head and looked at Zhai Cheng. "Or rather, he's just too stubborn about the matter of blood."
Zhai Cheng shook his head, looking disappointed. If it were really as Song Ge said, he wouldn't have tried to kill him.
"No, he can never accept me."
Song Ge didn't say anything else. After a pause, she looked into the distance. "In my eyes, feelings are more important than blood relations."
Although Zhai Qintian had always been targeting Zhai Cheng, in her opinion, Zhai Qintian loved Zhai Cheng in his heart.
Zhai Cheng was in a complete mess.
Song Ge turned his body around and looked into his eyes. "You still have me. No matter when and what happens, I will never leave you. I will always be by your side, unless you ask me to leave."
These were not just words that Song Ge said to comfort Zhai Cheng. They were also words that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
Zhai Cheng looked at Song Ge. His reflection was in her eyes. His breathing quickened, and he slowly moved closer.
Seeing his face getting closer, Song Ge's ears turned completely red, but she didn't push Zhai Cheng away.
Their lips touched. Song Ge slowly closed her eyes and put her hands on Zhai Cheng's waist.
Feeling her response, Zhai Cheng cupped the back of Song Ge's head and deepened the kiss.
After a while, both of their breathing became rapid. Zhai Cheng reluctantly let go of Song Ge and hugged her in his arms. His voice was filled with a hint of pleading. "Please don't leave me."
"I won't."
They sat by the lake for about half an hour before Zhai Cheng said they should go back. But when he caught a glimpse of Song Ge's ankle out of the corner of his eye, he felt a bit self - reproachful. "I'm sorry. Because of my own problems, I didn't take care of your feelings."
Song Ge shook her head. "I know you're in great pain."
Zhai Cheng didn't say a word. He simply picked Song Ge up, and she naturally wrapped her arms around his neck.
Instead of driving straight home, Zhai Cheng took Song Ge to a small hospital nearby.
"Doctor, please check if there's any bone injury." Zhai Cheng's tone was a bit anxious.
The nurse glanced at Zhai Cheng and then at Song Ge in his arms. She smiled and said, "Although your girlfriend is injured, look at all these patients. Which one is not more seriously injured than your girlfriend?"
Hearing the word "girlfriend", Song Ge blushed inexplicably and buried her head deeper. "I'm not..."
Zhai Cheng interrupted her. "Then how long do we have to wait approximately?" He instinctively looked around. There were indeed a lot of people, probably because this was the only hospital in the vicinity.
"You can wait over there." After saying that, the nurse left.
Zhai Cheng and Song Ge waited in the hospital for about an hour before they saw the doctor and were ready to go back.
