It takes three and a half hours to drive back and forth from Jinshui County to D City. At 6 o'clock in the morning, Gu Song and Xia Shi set off from the guest house and arrived at the D City Psychiatric Rehabilitation Hospital at nearly 8 o'clock.

Four years ago, Gu Song secretly came here to visit Xinlei once without telling everyone, without touching her face-to-face, without speaking, just looking at her from a distance through the glass window on the door.

At the time, Xinlei was still in a terrible condition, with severe delusions, plots, and cognitive dysfunction. The doctor said that the stimulation she received was too strong and immediate, and that it was undoubtedly a long and arduous process to cure her illness.

Four years have passed, and Gu Song doesn't know how Xinlei's condition has recovered. If Xia Shi hadn't offered to visit here this time, he probably wouldn't have the courage to face this girl who had been deeply "hurt" by him again.

Gu Song still remembered that in the summer vacation of his junior year, he stalked Qiao Sheng for a long time, and finally found out Xinlei's whereabouts from the other party. In order to see Xinlei, he took a long-distance bus to City D alone, and unfortunately met Xinlei's father, Professor Chu, in the hospital.

Professor Chu recognized him as his daughter's boyfriend and insisted that he was the culprit of Xinlei's insane disorder. Because he had been resentful in his heart for a long time and had nowhere to vent it, Professor Chu, who had always been elegant and gentle, seemed to have changed as if he had changed into a different person, and said a lot of excessive and ugly things to Gu Song in front of the doctors and nurses, and explicitly forbade him to come to the hospital to visit Xin Lei, and he was not allowed to have any contact with Xin Lei in the future.

Of course, the person who Professor Chu should blame more should actually be the cruel murderer, but the murderer was not caught, he could only transfer his anger to Gu Song. After all, if such an unfortunate thing happens to her daughter, someone must bear the corresponding responsibility for it.

That incident left an indelible shadow in Gu Song's heart. Every time he thought of the words that Professor Chu accused him, he felt like a sinner through the ages, ruining Xinlei's happiness for a lifetime.

Since then, Gu Song has contracted a bad problem, and he has not changed it until now. But whenever someone around him encounters misfortune, whether it is his fault or not, he will stubbornly take the responsibility on himself.

Because his heart was hurt too deeply, he didn't have a girlfriend for many years, and he didn't dare to have too close contact with the opposite sex. He felt that girls would be unlucky if they were with him, and this "curse" was verified again in Tian Rui......

While Gu Song was slipping away, Xia Shi had already explained their intention to the medical staff. Nurse Cui was very happy when she heard that they were Xinlei's friends, and told Xia Shi honestly, "Except for Xinlei's mother, no one has visited her in the mental hospital for a long time." It's lonely for her to live here alone, and I hope you can have a good chat with her. ”

Hearing Nurse Cui say this, Xia Shi's heart suddenly swelled with sourness. He couldn't imagine how Xin Lei had survived the past five years. What has become of the girl he once loved so much? He couldn't wait to find out, but he was afraid to see a scenario that he couldn't accept.

He explained to Nurse Cui: "Actually, I have always wanted to know where Xinlei has gone in the past five years. Her family kept it secretive, and I only learned a few days ago that she was staying in this hospital. ”

"Xinlei's mother told you?" Nurse Cui asked curiously.

"Oh, no......" Xia Shi glanced at Gu Song, and was about to open his mouth to explain, when he found that Nurse Cui's attention had shifted to Gu Song.

"You're Xinlei's boyfriend, right?" She asked in an uncertain tone.

Gu Song was still deserting, and he didn't hear Nurse Cui's question, Xia Shi hurriedly touched him with his elbow, and then he came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Nurse Cui, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?" ”

"You're Gu Song, right? Xinlei's boyfriend? Nurse Cui smiled at Gu Song in a friendly manner, "I said how do I think you are a little familiar." ”

"You know me?" Gu Song was slightly surprised.

"When you came to the hospital to look for Xinlei five years ago, Professor Chu and I ......" Nurse Cui didn't say any more, afraid that the incident she mentioned would make Gu Song unhappy. But Gu Song had already realized it, and asked with a wry smile: "When Professor Chu was mad at me and told me to get out of the hospital, you saw it all, right?" ”

Nurse Cui nodded awkwardly, and then comforted Gu Song and said, "I know that incident is not your fault, Professor Chu also said such things on impulse, and he himself regretted it afterwards." ”

"You don't have to comfort me, I have an unshirkable responsibility for Xinlei to become like that. I'll definitely catch that bastard with my own hands and give Xinlei an explanation. ”

"Catch the murderer?" Nurse Cui was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that Gu Song's current identity should be a policeman, so she asked urgently, "Hasn't the murderer been arrested yet?" ”

"Yes." Xia Shi hurriedly took over the conversation, and urged Gu Song a little anxiously, "Let's hurry up and see Xinlei, we have to go back to Jinshui County to work before 11 o'clock." ”

A few minutes later, Nurse Cui took Gu Song and Xia Shi to Xinlei's ward.

Professor Chu and the director of the rehabilitation hospital are old friends who have known each other for many years. After Xinlei's accident, he sent Xinlei to this hospital as soon as possible and begged the director to save his daughter.

The dean sympathized with their plight and arranged for Xinlei to live in a spacious and comfortable single room, and found the best doctor to treat her. Five years have passed, and Xinlei's condition has improved greatly, and 80% of the time it is no different from a normal person.

In the clean and tidy ward, Xin Lei stood quietly in front of the window, bathing in the best sunshine of the day. She was wearing a blue and white striped hospital gown, and her slender figure looked weak. Perhaps due to the lack of outdoor activities for a long time, her skin is slightly pale and gives a sickly feeling. Despite this, her small and delicate face is still beautiful and charming.

"Xinlei, a friend has come to see you." Nurse Cui smiled and said hello to Xinlei.

When Xinlei heard the voice, she withdrew her gaze from the window, and looked at Gu Song and Xia Shi curiously, the expression on her face slowly changed. After a while, she covered her mouth in disbelief and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God, why are you here?" ”

Gu Song hadn't spoken face-to-face with Xin Lei for a long time. The Xin Lei he remembered was still delirious and crazy after she was injured. Now that he saw that Xinlei had returned to her former lively and cheerful appearance, his hanging heart finally let go.

Nurse Cui didn't want to disturb the reunion between their friends after a long absence, so she left the ward with a few simple words.

As soon as Nurse Cui left, Xinlei walked over to Gu Song excitedly, threw herself into his arms, and said to him in a slightly coquettish tone: "You man with no conscience, why did you come to the hospital to see me?" Have you forgotten about me a long time ago? ”

"How come, I'm just, just ......" Gu Song didn't know how to explain this matter for a while, and said perfunctorily for a long time, "I'm too busy with work, I really can't spare time......"

"You're lying." Xinlei glanced up at him, "I don't believe you're so busy that you don't even have the time to do this." ”

"Hmm, this ......" Gu Song was very embarrassed by Xinlei, and his face turned red. He tilted his head sideways, squeezing his eyebrows at Xia Shi vigorously, hoping that the other party could help him out of the siege. Who knew that Xia Shi had already been ready to watch the excitement, and shook his head at him gloatingly, meaning to say: You have created your own sin, solve it yourself.
