On the last day of December, Zhu Jinchuan accompanied Ling Li to the Department of Brain Surgery of the Affiliated Hospital of Funan University.

When they arrived, it was noon, and the hospital was full of people, and the market was no worse than the vegetable market.

It was easy to squeeze onto the elevator, and when she arrived at the floor of the brain surgery, Ling Li stepped out of the elevator, looked at the hurried and noisy ward in front of her, and took a deep breath.

Zhu Jinchuan pursed his lips and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you." ”

Ling Li had also been to this place several times, but she didn't expect that this sudden visit on a whim would meet someone she didn't expect.

Shi Meina was wearing the most ordinary black down jacket, her hair could not be cut short, holding a bag, and sitting outside Zhong Zhuowen's hospital room.

The hot soup she poured caused Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi to suffer, although she was not investigated for criminal responsibility, she was also administratively detained.

It is said that since then, her mental condition has not been very good, and she has received psychological treatment for nearly half a year.

Ling Li didn't care about the effect of the treatment, but it still seemed to be effective.

At least, Shi Meina's eyes now no longer have the hatred they had at the beginning, there is only numbness and emptiness in those eyes, and when she sees Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan, she just silently turns her head away.

Qian Yang, who hurt Zhong Zhuowen, has already been punished, and she guards Zhong Zhuowen day by day, and she doesn't know what the result will be.

However, there will only be two options - wake up or die. And until the final answer comes, no one knows what will happen.

Compared with Shi Meina's lost soul, Zhong Chengheng is obviously much more normal. These days, he has taken on the responsibility of taking care of Zhong Zhuowen without complaint.

When Ling Li and the others arrived, they met Zhong Chengheng who broke the food, mixed it with the hospital's nutritious meal into a paste, and hit it from the nasogastric tube to the stomach.

Ling Li looked at Zhong Zhuowen, who was motionless with her eyes half-closed, and her mood was a little depressed.

The once energetic girl has gradually fallen into a state that is not much better than a vegetative person, and it is unknown whether she can wake up.

It's been two years, medically speaking, the probability of Zhong Zhuowen waking up is getting lower and lower, but Zhong Chengheng has never given up, and has been taking care of Zhong Zhuowen in the hospital, eating and living in the hospital.

The hospital is still very kind, not only trying its best to reduce Zhong Zhuowen's medical expenses, but also providing Zhong Chengheng with a job.

He is said to be taking the examination for his qualification as a physician – because his previous certificate has been invalidated for two years, and if he wants to become a doctor again, he will have to take the examination again, before which he has three to six months of training.

Under the multiple blows, this man did not fall down, which also made Ling Li gradually understand why Ling Ling was so obsessed with him back then.

Money, status, skin, these are all appearances, and the perseverance and unyielding soul is the most attractive.

Ling Li and Zhu Jinchuan quietly watched Zhong Chengheng finish what they were doing, and then they stepped forward to ask a few words about Zhong Zhuowen's situation.

Zhong Chengheng's attitude towards Ling Li is as plain as ever with a little warmth, he is a sensible person, he will not inflict other people's sins on Ling Li, let alone be aggressive towards her.

Therefore, Zhu Jinchuan was very relieved to keep her here, and he was always a little awkward in facing Zhong Chengheng, a former rival, so he simply excused himself to smoke and left the ward.

Zhong Chengheng and Ling Li said that Zhong Zhuowen's condition seems to be getting better recently, and the brain waves are getting stronger and stronger, which may be a sign of awakening.

In addition, because Zhong Zhuowen has been sleeping for more than two years and her physical function is gradually deteriorating, he has hired a nurse for a long time, who comes every two hours to turn Zhong Zhuowen over, move her limbs, clean up her urine and urine, etc.

Ling Li asked about the cost, it was one hundred yuan a day.

She thought for a moment and said, "I'll pay for it, after all, she's like this because of me." ”

Of course, Zhong Chengheng had an attitude of refusal, no matter what Ling Li said, he would not agree.

In the end, he was a little helpless, with a smile: "I know that you are very good now, you have won a lot of lawsuits in the past year, and I also know that I wish the lawyer is willing to support you, but don't underestimate me." I want to accept your favor, which is absolutely impossible. ”

Ling Li had no choice but to give up.

After that, Zhong Chengheng talked about Zhu Jinchuan again: "Lawyer Zhu is a good person, Xiaoli, I can see that he doesn't take care of you all because of Xiaoling, what do you think in your heart?" ”

Asked by Zhong Chengheng about the questions that Lu Xiaoxiao often asked, Ling Li lowered her head and bit her lip, not daring to speak again.

Zhong Chengheng sighed slightly, and suddenly said: "The year of the accident, he actually came to me, and he thought that I broke up with Xiaoling because of her illness. It is said that he broke up with Xiaoling for three years at that time, but he was able to find Xiaoling for him, almost fought with me, and almost tied me up and dragged me to Nanxi, so that I and Xiaoling could make it clear face to face. I thought at the time, such a man who values love and righteousness, if it weren't for that illness, Xiaoling missed him by mistake, otherwise, where would there be anything to do with me. ”

Ling Li was stunned. It was the first time she had heard someone talk about it, and she didn't know that Zhu Jinchuan and Zhong Chengheng had ever crossed paths.

She asked, "You mean, on the day of the crime, my master and you were in Nanxi?" ”

When she came out of the ward and saw Zhu Jinchuan waiting for her in the foyer, Ling Li couldn't help but ask at the first sentence: "On the day of the crime, did you go to Nanxi?" ”

Zhu Jinchuan was slightly stunned, his fingers inadvertently picked up the confetti on her shoulder that he didn't know where it came from, and replied softly: "Yes, I've been." ”

Ling Li took a deep breath: "What are you going to do?" ”

"What do you say?" There was a self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth, "What else could I do at that time, it wasn't just because I was unwilling." ”

As he spoke, he looked away and fell on the gradually falling night, and his voice was low: "After I knew about my eldest sister's illness, I wishfully thought that my eldest sister was afraid of dragging me down, so I let go at that time, and I came to the door with a moment of excitement." Unexpectedly, I saw her torture herself like that for another man. Even if I said that I was willing to bear the rest of her life, she would not be willing to do so, and would rather destroy herself. ”

After that, he smiled bitterly: "So, I went to tie up Zhong Chengheng to Nanxi, let him and the eldest sister explain the matter clearly, and let him see what the eldest sister looked like at that time, but the result was ......"

When he said this, he suddenly couldn't speak.

Ling Li understood his intention and stopped. If he hadn't taken it upon himself to kidnap Zhong Chengheng that day, maybe Zhong Chengheng wouldn't have had this catastrophe.

Because of the mention of the past, the two were silent and not in a relaxed mood.

After a while, Ling Li reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, and said to him: "Master, you are really a good person, my sister once hurt you like that, you can still think about her." ”

Zhu Jinchuan retracted his gaze in the distance, staring at the slender and feminine figure in front of him, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

He sighed slightly: "Are you sending me a good person card?" What's next? ”

Ling Li hurriedly stuck out her tongue: "You know, I didn't mean that. I mean, Master, you...... You're good. ”

In her panic, some words didn't make sense.

Zhu Jinchuan's eyes flashed slightly, and after a few seconds, there was a little smile in his voice: "I understand, just tease you." ”

After speaking, he raised his hand and patted the top of her head, watching the bangs on her forehead tremble with his movements, and her deer-like moist and crystalline eyes, his heart was even more warm.

Suddenly having the urge to vomit, he continued: "I hope you can look at me like an ordinary man, and don't label me. I'm good to you, not because I'm a good person, or because I'm the big brother next door who watched you grow up, but you deserve to be treated so gently, you understand? ”

Ling Li lowered his eyes and looked away, not daring to look directly at the tenderness and eagerness pouring out of his eyes, but the moment he turned his head, his sight caught a flashing shadow on the corner of the street on the other side of the street.

She felt all the blood rushing up to the top of her head, and she stood in place in a daze, as if in a dream.

The thin back flashed, but the picture remained in her mind like a freeze frame.

Is that him?

Ling Li was in a trance, and in the next second, his body had already reacted before his brain.

She rushed into the trafficked street in a few steps, and with agility climbed over the barrier and rushed to the opposite side.

Seeing Ling Li ignore the traffic light signal and cross the city's main road in the traffic, Zhu Jinchuan was unclear.

And seeing that she was almost hit by a speeding taxi, he even felt a heart in his throat.

"Ling Li! Ling Li! ”

He kept calling her name behind him, but he didn't get a response, only to see her figure getting farther and farther away from him.

Anxiety and worry occupied his whole mood, and he didn't have time to cross the street from the intersection of the traffic light, and he also wanted to climb over the barrier along Ling Li's trajectory.

Unexpectedly, the vehicles that were passed by the fish stopped in the middle of the road.

Zhu Jinchuan was anxious and watched her back disappear into the corner of the street.

————

The traffic in the city is busy and frenzied, and as soon as it is stopped by some obstacle that intrudes into the road, it will make a loud horn.

Her ears were filled with the sound of the car's emergency brakes, but Ling Li didn't care too much, just chasing the figure that had just glanced at her.

However, in the crowd in a hurry after work, the person she had been looking for could no longer be seen.

Running around a corner, she looked at the T-junction in front of her, panting slightly and standing in place looking left and right.

Which way should we go?

Front, left, right, three different paths, three different directions, where should she go? Which direction will lead her to the figure just now?

She bit her lip lightly, with a prayerful tone: "God, if he is here, please let him come out to see me, I am willing to live for ten years." ”

She repeated it twice, and gradually, some of her mind became in a trance.

When I closed my eyes, I seemed to be able to see the back just now, wearing a dark blue coat, dark jeans, and a chicken nest head, thin, slightly hunchbacked, and his gait when walking was exactly the same as his.

Nanzhiyi, is that you?

Why are you still running away?

Why can't you see me, I've been waiting for you?

Every lonely and cold night, every time I wake up crying from a dream, where are you?

If you don't come back, I'm going to run out of it.

With a chaotic mind in her head, she wiped away a tear that inadvertently slipped down her cheek, gritted her teeth, and randomly chose a direction to move on.

Crossing another street corner, she finally spotted the familiar figure in the crowd - he was walking down the subway passage, and it looked like he was about to enter the subway station.

A heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she made her way through the dense crowd and finally squeezed hard behind him.

The moment she caught up, she put her hand on his shoulder and tugged at him violently, while shouting angrily: "Nan Zhiyi! ”
