When I woke up again, the sky had completely darkened, the moon shadow was hazy, there were no lights on in the room, only the computer monitor in the corner was faintly glowing blue.

Ruan Jing sat up, turned his neck, and couldn't help but yawn again.

Hearing the commotion, the man closed his computer and stood up.

In the next moment, the room was bright, and Ruan Jing couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall, the hour hand was already pointing to eight.

"I'm sorry, I don't know how I fell asleep. ”

Maybe it was because she had cried in the afternoon, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized how hoarse her voice was.

Xiao Chongyan handed her a glass of water, "You had a nightmare just now." ”

Ruan Jing was silent and took the water from his hand, the water cup was warm, and his fingertips were slightly cold.

"It smells so good in this room. ”

Xiao Chongyan frowned at her, and his tone was tepid, "I saw that you couldn't sleep well, so I lit incense, and I will use this when many patients with panic symptoms come to consult, which can help them relax." ”

Hot water flowed down his throat, and Ruan Jing's body seemed to be hot, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Chongyan's gaze swept over her white neck, and he took the glass expressionlessly, "You're welcome." ”

Because Ruan Jing planned to stay in Liuchuan City for a while, it was not good to stay in a hotel all the time, and he took Xiao Chongyan's card to pay for the room, even if it was his compensation, Ruan Jing felt strange in his heart, so he simply found an apartment with a monthly rent.

Coincidentally, it was less than ten minutes' drive from Xiao Chongyan's residence, and of course, Xiao Chongyan offered to send her back.

As soon as Ruan Jing got into the car, he leaned on the back of the seat with his eyes closed, and his whole person was disgusted.

Xiao Chongyan glanced at her from the rearview mirror, reached out and turned on the audio switch, and a soothing piano music slowly flowed into the small air.

Outside the window, colorful neon lights flew by.

"Chopin's music is very good. Ruan Jing said suddenly.

Xiao Chongyan didn't answer, but what Ruan Jing heard next was Chopin's tune.

After a while, the car turned onto a small road, and the surroundings suddenly darkened, and Xiao Chongyan spoke again.

"Last time, I wasn't trying to provoke her, I just wanted her to tell me the truth. ”

Ruan Jing realized that he was talking about Jiang Weixin.

Xiao Chongyan held the steering wheel with one hand, and turned the volume down with the other, "With her family background, it is easy to find many excellent psychiatrists, she knows too well what the appearance of a person with murder delusional schizophrenia is, and it is easy to substitute herself into it, and finally evolve into a delusional patient." ”

Ruan Jing sat up straight, very puzzled by his explanation.

"Evolution? Are you saying Jiang Weixin is not mentally ill?"

Xiao Chongyan shook his head and said thoughtfully, "No, on the contrary, she is very mentally ill. ”

“......”

Ruan Jing felt that he had been tricked.

Seeing her dissatisfied, Xiao Chongyan smiled meaninglessly, and sent her home unharmed all the way.

Ruan Jingdao thanked her and went upstairs, the security of this apartment was very good and the privacy was very strong, but when she opened the door and faced the empty room, the unfamiliar furnishings, she still couldn't help but feel nervously shrunk.

The lights outside the window were far and near, and in a trance, Ruan Jing realized something, she opened the curtains and looked downstairs, a black business car was still quietly parked in place, the door was open, and a figure stood against the door, with a touch of scarlet on his fingertips.

Ruan Jing's heart skipped a heavy beat, she walked to the living room and pressed the switch, and the room was lit up in an instant, and when she looked down again, the car had already driven away.

Bai Su's arrival undoubtedly injected a boost into Ruan Jing, so much so that when Bai Su asked her to meet the next day, she did not hesitate to send Xiao Chongyan a text message version of the "leave note", and regardless of whether he replied or not, she rushed to the agreed place by herself.

The wind chimes rang in the corner of the pizzeria, and Ruan Jing saw Bai Su sitting in his position, smiling at her, he was wearing a white turtleneck sweater, the material was soft seahorse hair, shrouded in yellow ambient lighting, like a docile and harmless lamb, a little more tender than Bai Su in his memory.

This metaphor made Ruan Jing laugh involuntarily, but in the next second, the time when the three of them were together appeared in front of him, and the heart-rending pain began to quietly emerge again.

Ruan Jing struggled to suppress this grief that he couldn't let go of for a long time, and walked to sit down opposite Bai Su.

"How did you come up here?"

Bai Su summoned the waiter to ask for the menu and sent it to Ruan Jing.

"I checked on the Internet, this one's handmade pizza is delicious, I brought Weixin to taste it yesterday, and it is better than the one near our school. ”

Ruan Jing asked casually while looking at it, "What about Miss Jiang, why didn't I come with you?" ”

When she looked down at the menu, Shirasu crossed Erlang's legs and leaned back on the back of the seat in a very stretched position, his eyes staring at her for a moment.

"Still at the hotel, I booked her a plane ticket for tomorrow morning to go back to Kyoto. ”

Ruan Jingleng paused for a moment and raised his head, "Back to Kyoto?"

Bai Su smiled, "Don't worry, I will stay in Liuchuan City to accompany you for a while." ”

Ruan Jing shook his head, his face was a little serious, "You can't let her go back to Kyoto, even if Miss Jiang wants to leave, at least let Xiao Chongyan see her situation." ”

"There's no need, we have found many psychiatrists in Kyoto, but her condition is getting worse and worse, and the last expert said, let's go with the flow and let us care more about her in life, relieve her tension, and give her a sense of security. Constantly going to the doctor will only make Idealism realize over and over again that she is sick - which we don't want to see. ”

Ruan Jing wanted to say something, but Bai Su pushed the menu to her hand again, "Hurry up and choose, I didn't eat in the morning, and now I'm starving." ”

Bai Su obviously didn't want to mention this topic, his face was a little iron-blue, and Ruan Jing had no choice but to swallow the words back into his stomach.

Bai Su said well, the pizza was fragrant and very tempting, and under the buffer of the food, Bai Su's mood improved again, and he diligently gave Ruan Jingche pizza a drink.

At this time, Ruan Jing's mobile phone rang, and she pulled her hand to light up, which was Xiao Chongyan's reply.

【Come in the afternoon】

The concise four words, without even adding punctuation, Ruan Jing snorted lightly, and casually put the phone back in his pocket.

"What are you laughing at?, who sent you a message?" Leng Buding Bai Su suddenly asked her.

"Nothing. Ruan Jing continued to attack the pizza, without looking up, and did not see Bai Su squinting abruptly after her perfunctory answer, pursing her lips tightly, and her slender fingers holding the cup together, as if she wanted to hold something firmly in the palm of her hand.

That's what can be called "anger."

When Ruan Jing sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and raised his head, he only had time to catch the gloom in Bai Su's eyes that had not completely faded.

She was slightly stunned, and the next moment, Bai Su had already lowered his head quickly, took a sip of water, and in the steam, he seemed to ask her inadvertently, "Then you have been in Liuchuan for so many days, have you found anything?"

After hesitating for less than a second, her body reacted before her mind - she shook her head.

"Then you must tell me what you find. Bai Su looked at her with serious and stubborn eyes, "I'm worried about you." ”

Looking at the man's slightly wet eyes, Ruan Jing's heart softened, this is her white stay, her and Liang Yan's white stay, Liang Yan has always believed that some things, even if time changes, even if the old man is not there, will not change after all, of course, including the enthusiastic young man in his memory.

But is the gloom that flashed just now really just an illusion?

Because of this inexplicable surging emotion, when Bai Su proposed to go to the scenic spots in Liuchuan City to relax, Ruan Jing shook his head and refused, saying that he still had something to do in the afternoon.

Bai Su's obviously gloomy face, in the past, when Ruan Jing and Liang Yan were crooked together and ignored him, Bai Su often showed such an expression, after leaving his current address, he agreed to meet again in the next two days, and Ruan Jing was finally able to get out.

When I arrived at Xiao Chongyan's psychological treatment room, the clock on the wall had just been chiming the time at one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Chongyan didn't know who he was talking to on the phone, and when he heard the movement, he raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

Ruan Jing took off his coat and hung it up, and when he turned around, he heard him say to the person on the other end of the phone, "I have always trusted you, Chang Yu, pay attention to safety." ”

After a few seconds, he hung up the phone and glanced at the clock on the wall, looking inexplicable.

"Very obedient. ”

There was an obvious sense of pleasure in his tone, Ruan Jing was awkward for a moment, pursed his lips and didn't answer the words, cleared his throat and asked him, "What did you let Chang Yu do? Isn't he a policeman?"

"Of course that's what the police do," Xiao Chongyan replied inexplicably, as he spoke, he got up and walked to the filing cabinet, pulled out a document wrapped in a blue clip from the upper floor, and handed it to Ruan Jing, "Take a look." ”

Ruan Jing took it and opened it, first of all, one of the black and white photos of the accident scene came into view, her breathing was stagnant for a moment, for no other reason, in the photo, two people fell in a pool of blood, looking at the surrounding scene, it was probably a fall from a high altitude and died, both bodies had different degrees of damage, and due to the shooting angle, they couldn't see the faces of the two people clearly, and they could only judge from their clothes that this was a man and a woman, maybe not young, about forty years old......

Turning a few pages back, it is the investigation of some Liuchuan City police on the case of falling from the building at that time, very strange, only the first record investigation of the onlookers at that time, and then it seems that there is some resistance, and even the cause of death of a "falling from a high altitude" is hastily written, as for the identity of the deceased, it is not clear, if there is a word that can describe Ruan Jing's feelings when he sees it, it is "headless public case".

"Show me this, what?"

"One of my patients is a direct witness to this high-rise suicide case, when the two people jumped down one after another, he was passing under the building, 'bang' twice, people smashed in front of his eyes, it is said that ** all came out, red and white mixed together, spread all over the ground. ”

After speaking, Xiao Chongyan turned his head to look at Ruan Jing's expression, and after seeing her expressionless looking back, he frowned, as if he was regretting that he didn't disgust her.

Ruan Jing could see through his sudden bad taste at a glance.

"What do you think I'm doing this way, have you forgotten what my major is, you don't think I'm still afraid of this?"

Xiao Chongyan let out a slow "oh" and lowered his head again.

He's sorry, huh?
