Xiao Nuan stretched out her hand, gently smoothed the folds between the man's eyebrows, followed the bridge of his tall nose, and slowly tipped over his facial features.

For five years, time seemed to be extraordinarily kind to this man, and his face did not change at all.

Just like those days and nights when she secretly drugged his water cup and secretly massaged him with needles after he fell asleep.

She still remembers that she tried again and again, and each time she tied his long legs like a hedgehog.

Then, she quietly interfered with the surveillance screen in the room, so that every time Bai Yu checked the surveillance, what he saw was always the picture of the two of them sleeping peacefully until dawn after going to bed.

Thinking of his hard but happy nights, the corners of Xiao Nuan's mouth couldn't help but rise.

At that time, her wish was really simple, as long as his legs could get better, it was enough.

Now, her wish has come true.

His legs were really healed, but she had him lying in the hospital bed again!

Guilt, self-blame, reluctance......

All kinds of complex emotions were intertwined, Xiao Nuanru was stung by a bee, and suddenly retracted his hand.

She shook her head vigorously, banishing all emotions out of her mind.

She shouldn't have thought about this, and she couldn't think about this!

This man's hard-hearted heart is not something she can touch.

Such a person does not deserve sympathy at all.

She had already fallen on him once, and there must not be a second time!

Xiao Nuan closed his eyes vigorously, took a deep breath, and said to himself: "Xiao Nuan, you have to cheer up, he is just your partner, just a patient, that's all!"

As she spoke, she exhaled hard and slowly stood up.

But at the moment when she was about to turn away, the eyelids of the person on the bed suddenly moved, and he grabbed her hand.

Xiao Nuan looked back in astonishment, and saw that the man's brows that had just stretched were frowning tightly, and his thin lips were moving.

He said something eagerly in a low and hoarse voice, as if he wanted to open his eyes but couldn't, and his face was full of pain.

Xiao Nuan's heart softened.

She leaned over and said in a soft, soothing voice, "What's wrong with you? What do you want to say? Take your time, don't rush." ”

As if sensing her words in a dream, the man's expression stretched slightly, and the speed of speech slowed down.

"Xiao Nuan, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"I really never wanted to give up on you, never ......"

"I'm afraid that he will hurt you, but in the end, he still hurts you!"

The man's dream-like voice was intermittent, but it was like a stone constantly hitting Xiao Nuan's eardrum and crashing into her heart.

Her body stiffened unconsciously, and her eyes were misty.

She wanted to get up and leave, but she couldn't help but lean over and listen.

"I'm sorry!Xiao Nuan, I really miss you, I miss you every day. How are you going to come back? Come back ......."

His face was as white as paper, and every word seemed like an exhausted pleading.

When did the three young people of the Huo family, who are high up, use this tone to talk to people?

Xiao Nuan didn't have the impression that even on that day, he had never pleaded so sincerely as now.

Her heart trembled, and she bit her lip to keep herself from crying.

There's a voice in my head that keeps saying, "Don't trust him! He doesn't love you, he never loves! It's tempting, it's deliberate......"

"Rounds. ”

A knock on the door was accompanied by the nurse's voice.

Xiao Nuan suddenly sobered up, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, forcefully withdrew the hand that was clenched by Huo Liting, and said in a calm voice: "Please come in." ”

The door to the ward was pushed open, and three paramedics walked in.

The doctor who walked in front took the initiative to introduce: "Xiao is always, right? I am the attending doctor in charge of Mr. Huo, and my surname is Fang." ”

He didn't say much, and after speaking, he began to check Huo Liting.

Look at the pupils and measure the heart rate......

During Dr. Fang's series of operations, the man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

The medical staff subconsciously took a half step back.

But the man just opened his sleepy eyes, blankly glanced at the people around him, quiet as a child of unknown reason.

The paramedics secretly breathed a sigh of relief and helped the man sit up.

With his eyes raised, Huo Liting saw Xiao Nuan standing behind the medical staff.

A white ruffled shirt is paired with simple black trousers, the hem of which is tucked into the trousers, lining the waist and straight legs. Although she stood a little farther away, the way she leaned over revealed worry, and the whites of her eyes were slightly red.

Huo Liting's eyes lit up for a moment, and his mind quickly flashed back to the situation before lying here.

His eyes sank, and he spoke, his tone indifferent and detached: "Why are you here?"

Xiao Nuan's heart suddenly stabbed, heh, this man, he really pretended just now!

She raised her eyebrows nonchalantly, and said lukewarmly: "I heard that the doctor said that you were also recruited, and the situation is more serious and crazy than others, of course I came to see if you are dead." ”

Huo Liting's eyes froze, and then he laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm sorry, I disappointed you this time." If I can really make you feel good and happy to die, then I can choose to die. ”

He looked into her eyes, his gaze wet, completely ignoring the medical staff in the room.

Looking at each other, Xiao Nuan's eyes seemed to fall into a silver needle, which pierced her pupils and made her cheeks hot.

"Neurotic!"

She coldly put down three words, turned around and left.

Huo Liting looked at her back, and his head suddenly throbbed violently: "Come on, all go away!"

His voice was cold, and the temperature in the room dropped in an instant.

Seeing this, Dr. Fang hurriedly motioned to the nurse to help, wanting to hold it down and check him.

Huo Liting's face wrinkled in pain, and his strength was amazing.

He held his head with one hand and pushed the paramedic with one hand.

"Let's go, all of them!"

The short four words seemed to be squeezed out of between the teeth.

"Mr. Huo, calm down, we are here to help you. ”

Dr. Fang reassured himself as he tried to step forward again.

Huo Liting lowered his head, his hands desperately swept left and right, unconsciously scratching in the void.

Suddenly, he touched the fruit knife on the bedside table, and immediately clenched it tightly in his hand: "Don't come, don't come here!"

The sharp tip of the knife sliced through the air with a silver glow, causing all the medical staff to take a step back, a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Xiao Nuan looked stunned and heard his own dense and heavy heartbeat.

His situation is really serious!

At this moment, Huo Liting and the one who has always been calm and steady, and he is invisible, are clearly two people.

He clenched the fruit knife tightly, his eyes were red, and he stared at everyone viciously, like an angry lion, ready to pounce on everyone and bite everyone.

His body was tense and straight, and his whole body was full of resistance that rejected people.

It was his reaction to the subconscious, and because he didn't want to hurt anyone, he refused to be approached by everyone.

The corners of Xiao Nuan's eyes instantly became sour, and she seemed to see the man who was in a wheelchair again, obviously lonely and helpless, but self-reliant.

Unconsciously she raised her feet and walked towards him.

Seeing this, Doctor Fang hurriedly stopped her: "Mr. Xiao, it's dangerous, you can't go over! His current state can't even be controlled by himself, and he will hurt you at any time." ”

"I'm fine. Stand back. ”

Xiao Nuan soothed Doctor Fang's hand, looked at Huo Liting calmly, and walked towards the hospital bed step by step.

Huo Liting knelt on the bed, his eyes getting redder and redder like bloodshot.

He held the knife in both hands vigilantly, and kept repeating in his mouth: "Don't come, don't come, don't come over......

His eyes weren't focused, he just swept around blankly and angrily.

The medical staff were anxious, but they also knew that the more they faced this kind of manic patient, the more they couldn't speak out, so they could only wait silently by the side as Xiao Nuan instructed.

Xiao Nuan approached and comforted softly: "Ah Ting, it's me." Don't get excited, I won't hurt you. ”

A familiar and friendly voice sounded, and Huo Liting's vigilant expression was obviously relaxed.

But his arms were still straight, and the sharp tip of the knife rushed straight ahead: "Go, you go quickly, don't come here!"

"Okay, I'm not coming. But you promise me to put the knife down first, okay?"

Xiao Nuan followed the temptation, but the footsteps moving towards him did not stop.

Between her right fingers, a slender silver needle quietly glowed with a snowy cold light.

Huo Liting closed his eyes and gritted his teeth vigorously, trying his best to suppress the terrible desire that raged in his chest.

He wanted to fight, he wanted to kill, he even longed for the breath of blood.

He knew that this was wrong, and he knew that he couldn't hurt the woman in front of him, but the more he tried to suppress it, the stronger that bloodthirsty desire became.

The last bit of consciousness was about to be devoured, he bit the tip of his tongue hard, and said viciously in a suppressed hoarse voice: "Don't come here, I can't control myself......"

Xiao Nuan was only one step away from him, less than half an inch away from the attack atmosphere of the tip of the knife.

Seeing the blood red engulfing the last ray of light in the man's deep eyes, her heart was crossed, and she raised her arm to block while her right hand quickly pierced the acupuncture point of the man's neck socket.

Between the lightning and flint, the silver needle pierced through the air and pierced directly into the acupuncture point on the side of the man's neck, but the knife that the man instinctively raised in his hand also cut through Xiao Nuan's shirt at the same time, cutting the flesh of her left forearm.

In an instant, blood was dripping.

The knife in the man's hand fell to the ground with a "bang".

His eyes widened, and his body slowly fell back.

Seeing that the back of his head was about to hit the bed frame, Xiao Nuan didn't care about his injury, walked over quickly, and held him steadily.

He stiffened and stared at her infatuatedly, his throat gurgling and intermittently pouring out words as thin as a mosquito......

The medical staff who were squatting next to him came back to their senses and immediately rushed up.

Some helped Huo Liting lie down, and some helped to hold gauze against Xiao Nuan's wound.

While checking Huo Liting's condition, Doctor Fang said, "Mr. Xiao, you go to bandage first, and leave it to us here." ”

Xiao Nuan didn't feel the pain at all, and looked at the man on the bed in a daze, until the nurse held her hand and helped her out of the ward and into the treatment room.

"Mr. Xiao, you were so brave just now!"

The nurse had just joined the work and had never seen such a scene before, so she couldn't help but praise: "I will be lighter, if you feel pain, tell me immediately." ”

Xiao Nuan didn't speak, she lowered her eyes to look at the blood-red wound on her forearm, her mind was full of Huo Liting's sickly blood-red eyes, and his words echoed in her ears that only the two of them could hear.

"Xiao Nuan, don't come here! I can't hurt you! But I can't control myself, I'm sorry......"

Even at the last moment of fainting, he tried his best to repeat the phrase.

I'm sorry!

How many times did she hear him say sorry?

She couldn't remember.

It seems that since he came back and met again, he has been saying sorry again and again!

Xiao Nuan closed his eyes, only to feel that something that was sealed in his heart was slowly waking up and taking root.

The little nurse saw that her eyes were slightly red, and she was depressed and did not speak, and she did not dare to speak again.

It wasn't until the wound was bandaged that the little nurse reminded softly: "Mr. Xiao, it's okay." ”

Xiao Nuan turned his head to look at her, and said mechanically, "Thank you." ”

She got up abruptly, walked out of the treatment room, and saw the bathroom sign at the end of the hallway, and she walked in in a trance.

In the mirror, a pale face, empty eyes, and blood-red lips were reflected.

Xiao Nuan looked at herself like this, and only felt extremely strange.

She turned on the faucet, took a handful of cold water, and bowed vigorously to her face until her cheeks and eye circles were flushed.

She looked at herself in the mirror and asked silently, "Xiao Nuan, why did you come back?

......

In the evening, Kumho Bay Villa.

Xiao Nuan pushed the door in, saw the bright and warm lights in the room, and the tiredness on his face stretched a little bit.

She took a deep breath of the faint aroma of food in the air and said briskly, "I'm back." ”

As her words fell, two plush heads, one large and one small, poked out of the restaurant partition.

"Mommy!" Yun Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his voice was sweet.

Hong Lie smiled softly, and his voice was warm: "The time is just right, wash your hands and eat." ”

His gaze fell on Xiao Nuan's white shirt, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Hey, when you went out today, it doesn't seem that you are wearing this dress." ”

Xiao Nuan's eyes shrank, but he returned to normal in just an instant, and teased: "Do you have a photography function in your eyes? You can see this? I accidentally got dirty during my work today, and this is what Ada bought for me." ”

Hong Lie nodded knowingly, and said proudly: "I'm the fiery eyes of Smoke Wukong." Go wash your hands, son, come and help with the meal. ”

"Howler!"

Yun Tian responded happily, and the plush heads of the father and son immediately retracted.

Xiao Nuan recalled Hong Lie's words, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.

Smoke Wukong, Jubajie......

After so many years, the accent of the word Hong Lie still can't be changed.

Xiao Nuan went out after washing his hands, and saw that a sumptuous five dishes and one soup had been placed on the table. However, the appearance is a bit so-so.

"Aunt Mei is not feeling well today, so I asked her to go back. Hong Lie handed Xiao Nuan chopsticks and explained, "I'm sorry, I can only wronged you today." ”

Xiao Nuan's eyes were warm, and he was moved: "No, no, I am not wronged at all, it is already very good." Thank you, Alie!"

As soon as Hong Lie wanted to say that they didn't say words of thanks to each other, Xiao Baozi raised his head and invited credit: "And me, and me, I also help." ”

"Okay, Mommy, thank you Yuntian baby, thank you father and son!"

Xiao Nuan, took the chopsticks with his right hand, and rubbed Yuntian's head with his left hand.

But just a little force, there was a stinging pain on her left forearm, her brows quickly twisted, and she withdrew her hand casually: "Okay, let's eat! Mommy really can't wait to try the dish with the baby's heart, isn't it particularly delicious!"

Yun Tian listened to her pleasant tone, and his eyes were full of stars: "En, then Mommy try it." ”

Watching the intimate interaction between the mother and son, Hong Lie's gaze quietly swept over Xiao Nuan's arm.

After the meal, Xiao Nuan got up as usual to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks together.

Hong Lie stretched out his hand to stop her, and said softly: "You are tired for a day, go and rest! ”

Xiao Nuan thought of the injury on his hand, worried that he would show a flaw when he exerted his strength, so he nodded: "Okay! ”

Yuntian kicked his calves, slid down from the chair, and said happily: "Wow, that's great, I can finally play with Mommy today." ”

He sat on Xiao Nuan's left, naturally grabbed Xiao Nuan's left hand, and dragged her away: "Mommy, let's go paint!"

Caught off guard, the wound was torn, Xiao Nuan subconsciously withdrew his hand and gasped: "Hiss." ”

Hong Lie's eyes sank, and he hurriedly strode over and parted Yuntian's hand

"I'm fine......"

Before Xiao Nuan's words of explanation could be spoken, Hong Lie had already forcibly lifted her sleeves.

On the palm-wide white bandage, red blood was already oozing, although it was not much, but it was already shocking to look at.

How so?

Hong Lie subconsciously wanted to ask, but when he saw that Yun Tian was still there, he only said softly: "Baby, you go back to the room to paint by yourself first, okay?"

Yun Tian didn't speak, he just pursed his lips and looked at the wound, his eyes full of self-blame.

Hong Lie lowered his voice softer and gentlely: "It's okay, it's not your fault. It's not a big problem, Daddy just helps Mommy re-bandage it. You go first, Mommy will be fine soon, okay?"

Xiao Nuan came back from the pain and nervousness, glanced at Hong Lie gratefully, and then lowered his eyes and said to Yun Tian: "Baby, Mommy is fine." Mommy is the best doctor, bandage it, it'll be fine soon, you go back to the room first. ”

Yun Tian looked at Xiao Nuan, and then at Hong Lie, his little eyebrows twisted, and then he turned around and went back to the room without saying a word.

Hong Lie and Xiao Nuan watched him close the door before exhaling at the same time.

Hong Lie sat down on the sofa in the living room and took out the medicine box to bandage her.

He carefully dismantled the gauze, and his pupils shrank sharply at the sight of the scarlet wound that had cracked.

His hand holding the disinfectant water tightened, but he didn't ask in the end, his movements became more and more gentle and careful, and his red eyes were full of distress.

Xiao Nuan watched him move cautiously to the point that his whole body tightened, and lowered his eyes to contain the guilt in his heart.

This man sees himself as more important than anything else, but he only worries him again and again.

Until the wound was re-bandaged, and the sleeves of her shirt were lowered in circles to cover them.

Hong Lie was reluctant to release his anger: "Don't move, take a good rest." I went to ask Ada, an assistant, how she took care of her boss. ”

After the words fell, he turned around and left.

Xiao Nuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold him, and said in a deep voice, "It's none of her business." Ah Lie, I didn't handle this matter well. ”

Hong Lie was condescending, with a rare domineering and majesty between his eyebrows: "I don't care! She is your personal assistant, and her scope of work includes protecting you and taking care of you." ”

Xiao Nuan gritted his teeth helplessly, and said to Pantuo: "It's Huo Liting." After he was injected with the vaccine, his reaction was very violent, and he seemed to be crazy, and he didn't know anyone, and he was dancing around the hospital room. I was a doctor, the head of TN, and one of the developers of the vaccine, and the situation was so urgent that it was my responsibility to control his condition and not let it worsen. ”

Hong Lie was stunned and looked at her in surprise: "How can it be so serious? Aren't everyone just adverse reactions?"

Seeing that he was no longer impulsive, Xiao Nuan let go of his hand and explained: "The doctor said that PIP induced Huo Liting's genetic defects, causing him to show a manic and bloodthirsty pathology. After all, he did it on my behalf, and the situation at the time was just an accident. If I had calmed down and moved faster, he wouldn't have hurt me at all. ”

She looked down at the wound on her arm, a look of self-blame and worry on her face that even she was not aware of.

Hong Lie's eyes narrowed, and the hand hanging by his side secretly tightened: "Nuan Nuan, let's go back together, okay?"

He squatted down, looked into her eyes, and said gently: "The situation here is too complicated, and the people are also complicated, I really don't want to see you hurt again." Career and dreams, let's take it a little slower, step by step, okay?"

Xiao Nuan's eyes flashed, she saw the pleading in his eyes, and she also saw the self who was a little dazed.

She looked away, stared at the intricate patterns on the Persian carpet beneath her feet, and said softly, "You give me a few more days, I want to think about it." ”

If she faces Huo Liting next time, she still can't completely control her emotions.

Then before things get completely out of control, she will choose to leave.

Go back to Qingbai and let everything go back to square one.

She would never give that man another chance to hurt herself.

She is willing to let go of it, and it is already a great progress.

Hong Lie secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a warm smile faded on his face: "Don't be too stressed." As I said, I will respect you and all your decisions. ”

"Yes, I know. Xiao Nuan nodded, trying to raise her lips.

Eyes met, and neither of them spoke again.

Behind the corridor on the second floor, Yun Tian watched this scene quietly.

His deep ink pupils were cold, his pink lips were pursed, his slightly baby-fat cheeks were bulging, and his face was full of unhappiness with a capital letter.

Hmph, this old Huo is really not worry-free!

As an adult man, even if he is out of control, he must not hurt the women around him!

He turned around in a huff and quietly returned to his room, closing the door.

......

The next day, the third hospital of the city branch.

Sunlight streams through the windows into the room, gilding everything with a warm gold.

Huo Liting sat on the temporary table in front of the window and worked, leaning side to the door of the ward.

The door was quietly pushed open, and a slender and tall figure quietly walked in.

Huo Liting seemed to be intently flipping through the documents in his hand, but the corner of his eye had already captured the figure.

He subconsciously thought that the person was Xiao Nuan, so he just waited for someone to approach quietly.

However, as the figure got closer and closer, he smelled a strange and familiar smell of perfume.

Huo Liting turned his head suddenly, and swept over with a sharp look......
