Ding Feifei held her cheeks and looked at Xie Weishi who was closed in the candlelight. At such times she could look unscrupulously, at his dark and long eyelashes, at the hidden thoughts hidden beneath his handsome exterior.

She knew that Xie Weishi didn't belong to anyone, and his story wouldn't be told to anyone. But at this moment, he belongs to her alone. This is her selfishness.

"Alright?" Xie Weishi asked.

"When you're done making a wish, blow out the candles."

Xie Weishi opened his eyes, and with a gentle blow, those thin birthday candles were all extinguished. Ding Feifei reached out to turn on the light and asked, "What wish did you make?" ”

Xie Weishi's birthday was only known when she occasionally asked about it before. Xie Weishi is alone, in the past three or four years of knowing him, he has never heard him mention his parents, even if it is the Chinese New Year, he lives alone in his apartment. He doesn't pay much attention to his own life, and he hasn't had a birthday even if he wants to. She asked so casually, and she didn't expect Xie Weishi to answer, but she heard him say:

"I hope you have a happy life, and Ding Ai's illness can get better."

Ding Feifei heard him put himself in the first place, and her heart couldn't help but feel sweet, and asked, "What about the other one?" Is it your own? ”

Xie Weishi had already eaten it, and said casually: "No." ”

"Cut!" Ding Feifei said disdainfully, "People who don't have ego." ”

Xie Weishi ate noodles and didn't care about her. Ding Feifei picked up the noodles and ate a few bites, and suddenly said, "Xie Weishi." ”

"Huh?"

Ding Feifei hesitated and asked, "Has anyone else celebrated your birthday before?" ”

"Nope."

"Don't your parents?"

"Leaving early."

"Oh......" Ding Feifei asked tentatively, "What about your former girlfriend?" ”

"Not either."

"Why?"

"We talked for two years, the first year she was abroad, the second year I was abroad, and I never did."

Ding Feifei snickered. "Xie Weishi, can you promise me one thing?"

"What?"

"I'm only allowed to celebrate your birthday in the future, okay?"

Xie Weishi ate wholeheartedly, and replied casually: "Okay." ”

Ding Feifei covered her face with a bowl and laughed silently, laughing so much that the corners of her mouth were crooked. When he looked at Xie Wei over the edge of the bowl, he saw that he was concentrating on picking fish bones, looking very serious.

This is probably when she's at her happiest.

……

The monitor on her wrist shows that the distance between her and her is shrinking. He Xinyi had already driven to the hospital.

Fang Chi turned the monitor to the side, not paying attention to the flickering numbers. His eyes stared straight at the snow-white ceiling, and his mind kept going through the details of the three encounters with that person.

What's wrong with that person?

His fingers were dry and clean, his nails trimmed short, and there were tiny, light-colored scars on several of them, as if they had been cut by a sharp knife...... Is it a scalpel? With such hands, it feels like there is a habit of careful grooming, but this kind of grooming is not for the sake of beauty, but for the sake of cleanliness...... To say that it is the hand of a doctor is completely reasonable.

He had a lot to say, but there was almost no information in it...... If you think about it, he is indeed a cunning person. But......

――Even if you delete the operation records cleanly, can you wipe off so many fingerprints left behind?

Every time he saw her, he wanted to run away, and when he was caught by her, he tried his best to escape; In order to prevent her from seeing the information behind the credit card, he would even use kisses to block her while her siblings were imprisoned. Judging from the previous situation, he was obviously very resistant to intimacy with strangers.

But he didn't care about fingerprints.

So, what's the problem?

Fang Chi let out a long breath. I picked up the tablet again. She glanced at the time in the upper right corner, and calculated according to the speed at which He Xinyi drove, it was likely that she had already arrived downstairs in the hospital.

Time was running out for her. This matter is related to the fox hunt, and she doesn't want He Xinyi to get involved.

In contemplation, her fingers clicked back and forth on the number jù library, deleted various search conditions that she had tried before, rambled aimlessly, and returned to the home page of the number jù library, flipping through the menus one by one, and looking at each project location in the number jù analysis function.

She couldn't help but look at the monitor again, and the distance between He Xinyi and her was already displayed as 0, standing still—he had already entered the building.

"The kitten is still in the ward, right?" She heard He Xinyi asking outside.

"In. She just ......"

Fang Chi's gaze fell on a new statistical table that had just been loaded on the tablet, which was the whereabouts of all 834 students in all medical departments of Level 11:

The First Affiliated Hospital of Yanda has 104 people working in the hospital

There are 85 people in the People's Hospital Affiliated to Yan University

……

21 entrepreneurs

……

1 person missing

Missing?!

Fang Chi's brain shook suddenly! He Xinyi's footsteps had already reached the outside of the ward, and with the sound of the doorknob turning, Fang Chi quickly jumped out of bed, dragged the infusion stand and held the tablet into the bathroom, and locked the door.

With a slight violent movement, his head began to dizzy again, and his hands trembled slightly. She slumped down the toilet and clicked on the missing student's file.

"Kitten, what's wrong with you? I see that your heart rate is a little fast and your blood pressure is also high, does it matter? ”

"It's okay, I'll be right out." Fang Chi reluctantly responded. On the tablet, a concise file sheet is displayed.

Xie Weishi

man

Native of Yan City

Grade 11 student majoring in clinical medicine, Yenching University Health School, in the direction of neurosurgery

……

In 16 years, because of his excellent grades, he recommended to study at Johns Hopkins University, during which he disappeared

Missing.

Missing, so didn't graduate, so she couldn't find him with those search criteria before.

is missing, so I'm not afraid of her calling the police, and I'm not afraid of being fingerprinted. Because the fingerprint archive of Yan City was only established in the 16-year census.

Staring at the 1-inch file photo, Fang Chi's somewhat gloomy eyes lit up little by little.

Xie Weishi, a good Xie Weishi.

……

"Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious."

"Phew!" Ding Feifei said angrily, "If you had come earlier, your face wouldn't have been so ugly!" ”

She put the bowls of both of them in the pot and went to the bathroom to wash them. In the past few days, she has been recuperating in the rental house, wearing a set of goose-yellow duckling pajamas, and she looks particularly cute when she washes her past bells and whistles.

Xie Weishi ate the old-fashioned, mosaic-like mints, and when she saw her walking, she resumed her grinning gait. He said, "Ding Feifei, come here, I'll see if I can remove the stitches." ”

Ding Feifei was a little reluctant and said, "It's not all yet!" Will it work in a few days? ”

Xie Weishi said: "Then you can take the medicine yourself, I don't care." ”

Ding Feifei immediately threw away the dishes and chopsticks, washed her hands and dried them, and walked over in a hurry: "Why are you like this!" ”

Xie Weishi looked up and said, "Sit down." ”

Ding Feifei sat down angrily and unbuttoned.

Xie Weishi said: "Isn't it okay to pick it up?" What do you do to undress? ”

Ding Feifei said: "I don't care, I want to solve it!" ”

Xie Weishi pressed her down on the bed, Ding Feifei struggled twice, and scolded: "Damn! I knew I wouldn't have let my dad teach you! ”

Xie Weishi lifted her clothes halfway, just exposing the wound under her ribs. He shone it with a mobile phone flashlight and said, "I can dismantle it." ”

Ding Feifei looked at the roof with a sad face.

Xie Weishi went to wash his hands, prepared iodine wine, tweezers and scissors, Ding Feifei had already sat up, obediently pulled his clothes and held a mobile phone flashlight for him to remove the stitches.

Xie Weishi sat on the stool next to the bed, used iodine wine to detoxify the area around her wound, and lifted the thread up with tweezers. Ding Feifei felt a little numb and crispy, but it didn't hurt. When she looked down at Xie Wei, she suddenly felt a little sad in her heart for no reason. She didn't want to fall into this kind of situation, so she changed the subject and said:

"Why did you wear a shirt today?"

"What's wrong with wearing a shirt?"

"I don't think I've ever seen you through it."

"Won't you see you today?"

Ding Feifei thought to herself, talking to him has always been like this, and she can't ask anything why. But she was also very happy to talk about it without saying a word.

She tugged at Xie Weishi's collar: "Why are you buttoning it so tightly?" Yet all at once she saw the mark on his neck, as if it had been strangled by something. On the side of the neck, there were a few blood marks that looked like they had been cut by spikes or something.

Ding Feifei shouted at the top of her voice: "Hey! Xie Weishi! What are you doing? ”

Xie Weishi pulled back his collar with his hand, straightened it, and said, "Don't move your hands and feet." ”

Ding Feifei said: "The people who smoked meat came to you for revenge?!" ”

"Nope."

"What's going on?" Ding Feifei was angry and shouted: "The seal is so deep, is this going to strangle you?" What kind of garbage beast is it! ”

Xie Weishi pressed her abdominal muscles that were pulled by anger and said, "Don't move!" ”

"Then you say!"

"It's nothing to do with you, I have something else to do, and I've had a fight with someone else."

"Who is so ruthless? And you suffered a loss? ”

Xie Weishi was engrossed in dismantling the thread and said calmly: "Others are not malicious. It was I who did something unseemly and was discovered. ”

"And then?"

"It's all right."

Ding Feifei said indignantly, "I don't know what you usually do, anyway, you should be careful." If anyone dares to touch you, I will fight with him! ”

"Desperate for what? Desperate at every turn, how many lives do you have to fight with others? ”

"I don't care! Anyway, you picked up this life, and I don't feel sorry for you! ”

"Boring! Your life is your own, what does it have to do with me? ”

"Thank you! I-"

"Alright." Xie Weishi interrupted her and stood up. Her wounds had been cleaned and covered with flesh-colored tape. "It's not that it's good to remove the thread injury, you have to raise it for a few more days, don't let it open again."

Ding Feifei sat on the bed with her head down.

"I'm leaving."

"Get out!" Ding Feifei suddenly shouted angrily.

Xie Weishi walked to the door and saw a pair of wet and dirty shoes behind the door, and there were a few dirty marks on the ground full of water stains, exuding a faint watery smell.

Tsubame is not near the sea, only a large fish market in the southernmost part of the city, and every day in the middle of the night, a large number of fresh seafood is transported from the port hundreds of kilometers away. The traditional fish market is no more dirty and noisy than a supermarket, with water all over the floor and almost no dry places. The vendors inside are all walking around in rubber boots. Almost all the fresh supermarkets, restaurants and restaurants in Tsubame City are purchased from there.

Xie Weishi pursed his lips and didn't speak, and went out to close the door.

In the middle of the month, he caught the last bus. In the car, he took out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket, inserted a SIM card into it, and pressed it on.

The phone rang a few times.

Except for one voicemail message, all of them are telecom operator information. Also, he doesn't need this number for three or four years. Three or four years is enough time for a person to completely cut ties with the past.

He opened his voicemail. This one was sent in the early hours of this morning.

"It's me. Although I haven't been able to contact you for three or four years, and the school told me that you were missing abroad, I could get a voicemail 'read' receipt and I knew you were still alive. ”

"When I was young, I knew that the conflict between me and your mother hurt you a lot since I was a child. You're so young, you'd rather choose to live alone, and never tell me and your mother what you're doing. But I can see your trajectory. I know that my son is a man who deserves his father's pride. ”

"I don't know what happened to you all these years, why you don't turn on your phone anymore, and stop answering my phone calls with your mother. Even though your mother and I have emigrated and started our own families, we will always be your father and mother. On the twentieth anniversary of your grandmother's death this year, I will come back once and hope to see you. ”

"Today is your 26th birthday, I wish you a happy birthday."

The voice is still deep and majestic, just like the memories of childhood.

Xie Weishi raised his head and looked at the night flowing outside the car window. The high-rise buildings towering into the sky are close to each other, and the lights of thousands of homes are like stars in the sky. The prosperity of this city has nothing to do with him. The bus passed by the building where he lived as a child, and now it was lit up in a different color. His home used to be here, but now he's a passerby.

He had heard the voice message in the headphones three times, and every word was etched in his mind. He deleted the message and unplugged the SIM card.

Happy birthday, Xie Weishi.
