That night, I slept for a long time, and when I woke up, it was already afternoon in the hospital bed. My whole body hurt so much that it felt like it was going to shatter. In the past few months, I have suffered all the injuries of my life, both physical and mental. originally thought that he was calm and calm, but he turned out to be vulnerable. I don't know if I was too well protected by my sister or if my previous living environment was too simple.

Lu Zenghan was anxiously by my side, watching me wake up and asking, "What do you think?" ”

"I'm fine. What do doctors say? "My head was a little confused, I couldn't tell where the injury was, it hurt everywhere.

"The ribs are really broken this time. Lu Zenghan asked worriedly, "Do you have a headache?" You also have a slight concussion. ”

"It doesn't hurt." I shook my head, "But I'm a little confused, sometimes I have double vision." ”

"." Lu Zenghan said hatefully, "Don't fall into my hands next time." ”

"He said he was going to break my ribs." I squeezed out a smile, "Didn't he break a woman's ribs before, what's so strange?" What's more, his son died this time, and it would have been light for him not to kill him. ”

"I'm sorry, but I bothered you." Lu Zenghan squeezed my hand hard, looking sorry and dull.

I shook my head slightly: "Don't say stupid things. I finally understood his identity, and I was more relaxed than ever, and I couldn't help but purse my lips and smile, "It turns out that you are really not a bad person, and my intuition is not wrong." ”

"You never thought I was bad, did you?" Lu Zenghan couldn't help but smile and squeezed my hand tighter, "Trust your instincts so much? ”

"I've also analyzed it. A person like you, who has principles and a bottom line, and abides by the rules, will not follow the kind of sideways. "I said it a little blushing, and now that I say that, it's a bit of an afterthought.

As I was talking, the doctor came over and gave me a simple examination, telling me to rest more and heal my injuries. After saying that, the doctor left. I was a little worried, looked at Lu Zenghan and said, "I don't want to spend the New Year in the hospital." "It's the Spring Festival in two days, I don't want to be in this cold and drug-filled place, and my sister said she would come to see me after the Spring Festival.

Lu Zenghan squeezed my hand and said softly: "Be obedient, you have to heal your injuries first." ”

"Will you be in Nancheng during the Spring Festival?" I asked him a little worriedly, "My sister won't come back until after the Spring Festival, and I don't want to spend the New Year alone." ”

"Yes." Lu Zenghan said gently, "I will accompany you." ”

"Then," I wondered, "will your parents and family disagree?" ”

Lu Zenghan was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand holding me, picked up a lotus mist from the table next to my hospital bed, and put it to my mouth, my favorite food! I couldn't help but open my mouth to take a bite, it was delicious. I smiled contentedly.

Lu Zenghan saw that I was eating happily, and he smiled gently, and then said lightly: "I don't have a family." ”

My smile froze, without family, who would not have family? Earlier he also said that his father gave him a car. I looked at him in amazement and said, "Didn't you say—"

"They all died." Lu Zenghan sat back, his voice calm, "When I was in high school, they were killed. My father's business was too big, and later the company was restructured, and the original partner felt that his interests had been lost, so he hated him. My dad likes to gamble, and the man started when he was gambling, and my mom went to find him, and he was not spared. ”

A chill hit my back, I never thought that Lu Zenghan, who has always been hippie and smiling, has such a painful story behind him, his heart began to hurt from somewhere, and gradually spread to the whole body, it was a kind of cone that was worse than physical pain, I shook Lu Zenghan back, I didn't know what to say.

Instead, Lu Zenghan patted the back of my hand, and his voice was very soft: "It's all over." ”

"How did you get out?" I couldn't help but ask. This kind of sudden trauma is very difficult to recover from in the clinical practice of psychology. And now I can't see these emotions in Lu Zenghan at all.

"The partner hired a murderer, and the method was professional, and after killing someone, he ran away. The case didn't progress for a year, so I went to the public security bureau every day of the year, and at first they ignored me, and then they avoided me when they came to see me. Lu Zenghan hooked his lips helplessly, "A year later, the case was finally solved." The partner got his whole family into the company, and the shares left by my father were almost diluted by him, but fortunately, the company was made a lot bigger by him, and I sold the shares, turned it into cash, and deposited it in the bank. Then I was admitted to the Criminal Police Academy. ”

No wonder Lu Zenghan has a lot of property in his name, but I don't understand why he went back to the Criminal Police Academy, generally people who have experienced major trauma subconsciously avoid it, and will not face it head-on. Like Lu Zenghan, he usually stays away from all kinds of murders and lives a peaceful life that is diametrically opposed to his previous life, but instead he embarked on the road of the police, facing repeated stimulation of various murders every day, won't he feel heartache? I couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to be a police officer?" ”

"Why?" Lu Zenghan repeated my question slowly, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "I probably want to solve the case faster in the future." He quickly changed the subject, "Okay, don't talk about this, what do you want to eat, I'll buy it for you?" ”

"There's nothing to eat. You look at it and buy it. "I lay back.

"I'll buy some pork bones." Lu Zenghan smiled at me and got up to go out.

Pork bones? What to eat and what to supplement? Is this scolding me? I rolled my eyes.

Another day spent in the hospital, I didn't have any reaction, Chinese New Year's Eve evening, I really couldn't lie down, there was already crackling outside, and there was gradually the sound of firecrackers, Lu Zenghan and I repeatedly said: "Go back, I really don't want to stay here." If you look at the hospital, where are there any people? The doctors have all gone for the New Year. ”

Lu Zenghan was so hard that I couldn't grind it, so I had to discuss it with the doctor and let me be discharged from the hospital first, and then come back for a re-examination after the Spring Festival holiday. My chest still hurts when I walk, so Lu Zenghan simply found a wheelchair and pressed me up. It's very light to be pushed around.

The night of Chinese New Year's Eve in Nancheng is particularly lively. Nowadays, many people do not eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, and the doors of various large hotels are private cars. Many people dragged their families with their mouths, and some of them went in and out, and I was envious of them. Only when you have your family by your side can you have the flavor of the year.

"Shall we eat out too?" Lu Zenghan looked at me and kept looking out the window, and asked tentatively.

"Forget it. There must be no seats anywhere now. I took my gaze back. The seats for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must be determined in advance, not to mention that there are only two of us, which makes the big family of more than a dozen people even more desolate.

"That's fine. Eating at home is more flavorful, I have to show you my craft. Lu Zenghan smiled and was determined to win.

He? I pouted in disbelief. Lu Zenghan sent me home, then went to the supermarket outside the community to buy a bunch of things and came back, and started ping pong in the kitchen. I wasn't idle, I sat in a wheelchair and found a place to hang up the jewelry I bought with Yingying before. There are Chinese knots, blessing characters, and lanterns. Seeing the little bit of color in the room, I suddenly felt the urge to shed tears.

When I was a child, it was the same, on Chinese New Year's Eve, my parents cooked and cleaned the house, and my sister and I put up New Year pictures and hung lanterns. That's the taste of home, that's the taste of the year. How many years have I not felt this way?

I don't know how long Lu Zenghan tossed in the kitchen, the Spring Festival Gala started broadcasting, and he finally came out with a plate of dumplings: "Taste it, how does it taste?" After speaking, he glanced at the living room, he was also stunned, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, the smile, warm, soft, "When did you buy these?" ”

"A while ago. I just want to use it during the New Year. The lights were already flickering and glittering, and the whole room had a romantic warmth, and I looked around with satisfaction, "That's what makes it interesting." ”

Lu Zenghan walked up to me, put his hands on my shoulders, and said with a hint of emotion: "It's been a long time since I've had a year with this taste." ”

"And what were you like before?" I wondered.

"Before? When I was studying, I went to the Internet café with my brothers and sisters in school to play games and have a big meal, even if it was the New Year. Later, when I worked, I took the initiative to apply for this day to be on duty, and I went home alone anyway. There is no year to live, it is better to let colleagues go home to accompany their wives and children. Lu Zenghan leaned down and looked at me, his eyes were hot, "If it smells like this for the rest of the year, I won't be on duty if I am killed." ”

"What does it smell like?" Somehow, my face began to burn, and I dodged his gaze and looked away.

"A taste of home." Lu Zenghan said very slowly, but it was very weighty, "Ke Qiao, forgive me for my recklessness and concealment before, don't leave me, okay?" ”

I was silent. I still have a lot of knots in my heart that I haven't untied, a lot of questions I haven't figured out yet, and I don't even have time to think about them. But at that time, the night at that time, the fireworks outside, the lights in the house, and the beautiful atmosphere at that time, I really couldn't say no words to spoil the scenery. And at that moment, I also seemed to sink into this Chinese New Year's Eve full of the taste of home. I nodded confusedly.

Lu Zenghan's eyebrows and eyes were bent upward, leaning over and imprinting on my lips, at that moment, the fireworks outside rumbled, illuminating the room was also very beautiful, with the fireworks blooming gorgeously, as if something was slamming between me and him, I responded to his lingering tactfulness, and his breathing gradually became rapid and hot, climbing up his neck.

It's hard to feel the night at this point. It would be nice if time could stop in this moment.

Suddenly there was a pain in my chest, I shouted softly, and Lu Zenghan hurriedly let go of me: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's a wound." I looked at him embarrassedly, "Eat dumplings first, eat dumplings." After speaking, he pushed his wheelchair to the table in a panic, took a bite, and said in surprise, "It tastes good." What did you pack? ”
