The little nurse with glasses hurriedly took the sample upstairs to do electrophoresis, and the people around Zhu Xiao surrounded him, and the water was crowded there.

I struggled for a long time before I finally got close to him.

Zhu Xiao casually threw away the cotton swab pressed on his arm, and his face turned a little pale.

That's when I realized that he might not have healed from his last injury.

"Fourth brother...... Thank you. ”

Zhu Xiao paused for half a second before raising his head, looking at me with a cold look in his eyes, hiding his edge.

The broken hair on his forehead was blown away by the wind and slid down a little at will, but it softened the edges and corners of his whole person for no reason.

I bit my lip in silence, but finally asked.

"Fourth brother, do you suspect that Zhao Pingsheng ......?"

Before I finished speaking, Zhu Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at me, and the coldness hidden in his eyes was like a knife, scraping my throat at once.

I shut up for a moment, staring at him a little bewildered.

Zhu Xiao got up from the bench at this time, and he walked towards me with one hand in his pocket, his tightly knit brows revealing a little impatience.

I followed him until I was out of the inpatient building.

Zhu Xiaocai suddenly paused.

I didn't have time to brake and almost hit him headbutt.

Zhu Xiao's hoarse and deep voice rang in my ears instantly, and he called my name.

I involuntarily shrunk my neck, subconsciously wanting to step back.

was pulled by Zhu Xiao's arm.

His viper-like eyes locked on me, grinding his back molars.

"Sometimes I think you're clever, why are you so stupid sometimes?"

I had no idea where his anger came from, and for a moment I could only widen my eyes and not answer.

I realized that I might have said the wrong thing.

But I don't know why I can't ask that sentence.

Zhu Xiao stared at me viciously for a few seconds, and suddenly shook off my hand.

Before I could react, he was already walking away.

…… What does this man mean?

I stood there for a while, letting the cold wind blow my hair, and I really didn't come up with a reason.

But the phone rang suddenly.

As I walked back, I pulled out my phone and picked it up.

The call was from Zhou Linjiang, and when I saw it, there were already several missed calls.

I was afraid that he was looking for me for something, so I had to pick it up.

"Cheng Lan?"

I was about to answer, but I was caught off guard by a tall figure standing in the inpatient department.

Zhou Linjiang was wearing a police uniform, turned his face, and happened to see me.

He hung up the phone at once, ran a few steps and hurriedly stood in front of me, the badge on his police uniform shining brightly.

…… I almost forgot that he was a policeman, and if he couldn't find me, he just needed a location to easily find me.

"What's the matter?"

I paused for a few seconds, trying to distance myself from him in a businesslike tone.

didn't expect Zhou Linjiang to buy it at all.

He grabbed my arm with one hand and dragged me straight to the parking lot.

I had no choice but to cooperate and get into the car, after all, the hospital is indeed not a place to talk about things.

He stretched out his hand to turn on the light, and the car suddenly lit up, and the familiar aroma poured into my nostrils, and I was stunned for a moment.

The perfume in his car turned out to be the same bottle of light fragrance I bought for him many years ago.

"Cheng Lan, I didn't think my brother would go to you for trouble."

Zhou Linjiang looked at me with burning eyes, and his voice contained a thick sense of self-blame.

He paused, reaching out to try to take my hand.

I hurriedly ducked away only to hear him add something.

“…… I'm sorry, but I didn't do a good job to make him angry with you. ”

I was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly regretted that maybe it would have been better to be in front of the hospital just now.

Such a confined space will indeed make a lot of emotions change the taste.

"It's okay, Zhou Linjiang, you don't have to care."

"I won't take those things to heart."

He may have heard the coldness in my voice, and his expression couldn't help but slip a little hurt.

But fortunately, he quickly adjusted his emotions, straightened his face, and stared at me quite seriously.

"Actually, I came to you today, and there is another matter."

He paused, "Cheng Lan, have you received any suspicious strange calls recently?" ”

Zhou Linjiang's tone was very serious, and after he finished speaking, I subconsciously thought of Zhao Zhiguo.

Could it be because Zhao Zhiguo caused something wrong that he came to me with such a serious face?

I asked him, but Zhou Linjiang quickly shook his head.

"It's not."

He wrinkled his eyebrows, a little embarrassed, "It's because of ......"

Halfway through the conversation, he probably realized something, and quickly stopped talking.

I had to pretend that nothing had happened, and carefully recalled it in my mind before I confirmed to him that there was indeed nothing suspicious.

Zhou Linjiang was silent for about ten seconds, staring at me in a dark and complicated way, and only sighed for a long time.

"Cheng Lan, I wasn't good enough before."

"But don't worry, in the future, no matter what, I will protect you."

He said it strangely, as if I was in danger now.

But when I asked him again, Zhou Linjiang just frowned and refused to say anything.

"These are work secrets, and I can't tell you just yet."

"Anyway, you don't have to worry."

Without saying a word, he reached out and unlocked the car door, and walked around to help me pull the door.

"Let's go, I'll send you back."

Confused, I got out of the car and followed him in the direction of the inpatient building.

The feeling is familiar.

A long time ago, when Zhou Linjiang and I were still in love, he was serving in the army at that time.

I ridiculed him for keeping everything he ate at noon a secret, and privately I even suspected that the secrets he said were all tricks to deceive me.

Now, after many years, when he mentioned the word secret to me again, I almost took it for granted.

Unexpectedly, the secret that Zhou Linjiang didn't tell me this time turned out to be a big conspiracy.

……

That day, I ran to the nurse's desk in a daze and asked for two cold medicines, swallowed the water, and slept until noon the next day.

When Lu Huai'an called me, I was still stunned and not very sober.

He only said a few words, and I struggled to bounce off the bed in an instant.

"What?"

Lu Huai paused and repeated again.

"I said, Zhu Xiao's bone marrow is compatible with your brother's, and it is highly compatible."

My head exploded with a bang, and my hand shaking as I held the phone.

Does this mean...... Zhao Pingsheng was saved?!

But before I could answer, Lu Huai'an added.

"But...... I heard that Zhu Xiao refused to donate bone marrow. ”

“……”

"Cheng Lan?"

He called me twice in a hurry, and I came back to my senses suddenly.
