It has been a week since Chung Zhuowen was found.

She was still unconscious, and was even put on a ventilator for a time, but after all, she was young and had a strong vitality, and she regained her spontaneous breathing that night. After getting off the ventilator, her condition was up and down, and the fatal head injury was brought under control, except for a local infection in her lungs.

However, as to whether she can wake up, the doctor's conclusion is not optimistic. Moreover, the longer she sleeps, not only will she be less likely to wake up, but her body organs will gradually fail.

These days, Ling Li's life is not easy, and the same is true of Nan Zhiyi.

He is not guilty of Zhong Zhuowen - he thinks that he is clearer than Ling Li, and it was Zhong Zhuowen's own decision to intervene in the investigation, and her murder was because she acted privately and went to Nanxi, and she didn't know why she went to Guangwu, and her ultimate goal was always to clear Zhong Chengheng's suspicions, not the same starting point as Ling Li.

To put it mildly, all of this was chosen by Zhong Zhuowen herself, except for the person who did it should be held criminally responsible, no one else should be burdened, especially Ling Li.

Ling Li encountered this great change, but he was much more obedient, just like he said that day, he would never ask about the case again, eat and sleep on time, and recover from his illness first.

Seeing her face improve, Nan Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He has been with her as much as possible, but after all, he lives on the opposite side, and he can't stay by her side twenty-four hours a day, sometimes the knock on the door is a little longer, and even if she doesn't open the door, he can be in suspense for a long time.

It's just that more than a dozen phone calls from the academy in a row finally made him unable to turn a blind eye to the work tasks pressed on his head.

The academy is basically in a state of ultimatum, and he is afraid that he really can't rely on it this time, unless he doesn't want his current job, otherwise, at least an important national project must be advanced to the point where it can be seen.

The field work of that project has been postponed and postponed, and if there is no action, I am afraid that it will not be completed on time.

After spending half an hour thinking of the most time-saving plan, Nan Zhiyi knocked on the door of 1802 and said to Ling Li: "I have to go to the field tomorrow, I can't push it off." ”

Ling Li nodded and looked at him silently, without too much expression on his face, only staring slightly and waiting for his next words.

These days, she has been in good spirits, and she is a little paler, and her eyes are very big, which is extremely pitiful.

Nan Zhiyi sighed slightly and said, "You have to be careful yourself." ”

Ling Li nodded again and said nothing.

He stopped talking, raised his hand to pry the bangs on her forehead, and looked at the bruises on her forehead.

This is the trace of being smashed by Shi Meina with a thermos cup in the hospital that day, fortunately, it has gradually subsided, but I really don't feel at ease to leave her alone at home like this.

Not to mention the people hiding in the shadows, let's just say that Shi Meina will come to the door again, what should Ling Li do?

She didn't say it, but Nan Zhiyi knew that with her current state of guilt, she would definitely not be able to fight back and scold her, even if Shi Meina was carrying a knife to cut her, she was afraid that she would look like she was waiting to be killed.

Nan Zhiyi thought about it, but after all, he was still not at ease: "You don't want to live here, I will worry about you alone." ”

There was a little wave in her tea-crystal eyes, and her heart skipped a beat without fighting, and then she pretended to be calm and said, "It's okay, there are rice grains and Guli, it's safe." ”

He became serious for a moment, and his expression was very serious: "Fan girl, are you obedient?" They're just two dogs, and they can't protect you. ”

After thinking for a few seconds, he asked her, "Why don't you follow me on a business trip?" If you go to the plateau, less than 3,000 meters away, you won't have altitude sickness if you are cool. Come away with me, it's a bit of a distraction, okay? ”

Ling Li was stunned, but still shook her head.

She had a glimmer of hope to be there for him, but not at such a special time.

Zhong Zhuowen showed no signs of waking up at all, and the case she was handling by herself, because Zhu Jinchuan knew that she had encountered a great change, and she had already transferred it to others.

She knew that no matter what she did, it would be useless, but she couldn't do it like that, and when nothing had happened, she cowardly avoided it all.

"It doesn't matter if you want to be in the capital, but you can't live alone." He said, paused, and simply arranged her whereabouts.

"Well, go back to your uncle's house and squeeze in."

When Ling Li heard his arrangement, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, how can I go back?" Xiaobao is still sick, what if I get involved? ”

As she spoke, she smiled bitterly: "I now have some doubts that the nickname they gave me when I was in middle school is true." Otherwise, how can we always bring misfortune to others? ”

"It's not you, it's me." , His unquestioning tone, "Whether it's Zhou Qingchun, Zhong Zhuowen, or your family, all the people who were killed were because of the poisoners, even if I continue to investigate, it's my intention, no matter what kind of retribution, or Shi Meina's revenge, it should come at me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Ling Li was anxious again, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense." ”

This is the second time he has said such a thing.

In a hurry, she even almost covered Nan Zhiyi's mouth with her hand, but he stretched out his hand and held her hand in the palm of his hand.

I don't know if he did it on purpose, or if it happened to be so coincidental.

Her face, which was still a little pale just now, was red for a moment, she struggled, withdrew her hand, raised her wrist again, and stroked the broken hair around her ears to hide the discomfort at this moment.

Nan Zhiyi saw that she even had pink on her ears, and finally suppressed the surging undercurrent in her heart, and softened her voice: "You are well-behaved, obedient, go back to your uncle's house and squeeze it, and come to pick you up as soon as I come back, okay?" ”

Bewitched by his unusually gentle voice, she nodded involuntarily.

Nan Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief, the expression on his face relaxed, and immediately took advantage of her promise to strike while the iron was hot: "Okay, you pack up your things, I'll send you over now." ”

Half an hour later, Ling Li packed up her things and opened the door to come out.

Nan Zhiyi had been waiting by the door for a long time, and when he saw her, he naturally reached out and took a small 20-inch suitcase in her hand, went downstairs, and walked on the greenway at dusk for twenty minutes one after another, and finally arrived in front of the tube building that Ling Li had been familiar with for many years.

In order to calm things down, Ling Li didn't dare to tell Zhang Shouzhen about Shi Meina's crazy actions that day, and also instructed Nan Zhiyi not to reveal it.

Zhang Shouzhen vaguely knew that something had happened to the Zhong family, but he had nothing to do with that family, plus over the years, he had always regarded Zhong Chengheng as a murderer, even if there was a not-guilty verdict from the court, he still didn't turn around for a while, and he didn't know Zhong Zhuowen, so he didn't have an intuitive feeling, and he only sighed a few words about the pity of the child for this incident.

Even, his attention was all focused on the point that the relationship between Ling Li and Nan Zhiyi was getting closer and closer.

Hearing on the phone that Ling Li was going home to live, Zhang Shouzhen had already set up a wooden frame bed in the living room, let Ling Li sleep in the bedroom with his aunt, and he slept in the living room.

Ling Li naturally refused, but it didn't look like she was pushing around on the phone, so she had to take her luggage back first.

Zhang Shouzhen, who had been waiting for them on the side of the road, saw Ling Li and them coming, and greeted them warmly: "Professor Nan, are you here too?" Xiao Li is really bothering you to take care of her, and specially sent her back, our Xiao Li is stupid,"

Nan Zhiyi smiled: "It's okay, she doesn't want to go on a business trip with me, so I have to ask her to you." ”

Zhang Shouzhen was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, and his eyes lit up a little: "Don't worry, you must take care of it." ”

Ling Li was embarrassed, and she read something else from her uncle's exaggerated expression.

She was a little uncomfortable, but even more embarrassed to argue with her uncle about it, and dragged her small suitcase upstairs.

Nan Zhiyi followed closely behind, stretched out his hand to pull over the luggage, and said, "I'm here, you just got sick and your body is weak." ”

said that, she was not allowed to question, and went upstairs with her suitcase.

Ling Li blinked, feeling that he had seen a fake Nanzhiyi.

Doesn't he boast that he has no power to tie the chicken? How could she carry her suitcase so easily?

There were at least twenty pounds of books she put in it, not counting other things, she had a hard time carrying it with one hand, how could he carry it so easily?

After thinking about it, Ling Li's eyes widened. Could it be that he used to say that he had no strength every day? The purpose is self-evident – just to do less.

Nan Zhiyi didn't hear her footsteps, and when he turned around, he saw Ling Li staring blankly at the box he was carrying with one hand, and immediately understood her doubts, and smiled: "In the eyes of most women, men have no strength or are more sloppy than sloppy, and pretending to be one can block a lot of trouble, and the most important thing is that over time, everyone will default that you can't do heavy work, and you can do a lot less." As a result, I pretended to be for a long time, and even believed myself. ”

Rao is Zhong Zhuowen's matter was still hanging in her heart, and at this time, Ling Li sighed helplessly.

In fact, many times, she found that Nan Zhiyi's performance was not so much like a weak chicken character, especially at critical moments, such as when facing Jin Yu, who was much stronger than Ling Li, he could still fight for a while, forcing Jin Yu to show his knife.

It's just that Ling Li didn't think much about it, and now that he said it himself, she suddenly realized.

Nan Dashen's routine is too deep, and until the critical moment, you really don't know which of his sentences is true and which is false.

After sending Ling Li upstairs, Nan Zhiyi put the luggage away, looked around, was slightly dissatisfied, and said, "Uncle Zhang and sister-in-law Zhang don't clean it up, it's a mess." Don't be unaccustomed to it, just take care of your body, and when I go on a business trip, I'll pick you up right away. ”

Ling Li was stunned, and she couldn't turn around. What's wrong with him, why is it in his mouth, his uncle and aunt have become outsiders, and he has become his own person?

Why is it that it shouldn't be cleaned up for his uncle and aunt, and it should be average to clean up his room?

Not knowing whether to be angry or rejoicing, she whispered: "You go, I want to change my clothes." ”

After that, he turned around and pushed him out of the door, shutting Nan Zhiyi out.

Through the door, listening to his footsteps coming downstairs, his heartbeat gradually slowed down.
