"Why are you so careless!" The front desk lady rushed over violently for the first time, "This is Dr. Xu's treasure!" ”

The nurse was so anxious that she was about to cry: "I saw that its leaves were a little shriveled and dull, and it had been raining a few days ago, so I wanted to help Dr. Xu move out to bask in the sun for a while." ”

Luckily, the pot just cracked. The front desk lady and the nurse hurriedly put back the scattered dirt and pebbles. When they stood up again, Dai waited to see clearly, it turned out to be a basin of ice lamp jade dew.

"The state of the ice lantern Yulu in winter and summer will not be very good, shrinkage and gloom are normal phenomena, it doesn't matter."

After listening to Dai Zhi's words, the nurse showed a hint of joy on her face: "Is this really the case?" ”

"Hmm. Wait for the temperature to rise again, and do a good job of water control. Dai Zhi smiled and nodded. Looking at the bright appearance of the ice lamp Yulu in the nurse's arms, she tilted her head, and inexplicably remembered the basin in Duan Yuzeng's hospital office.

"Scared the hell out of me! It's okay! The nurse patted her chest happily, and the front desk lady reminded with cold water: "But the flower pot is cracked, do you think that with Dr. Xu's acumen, you will not be able to find it?" ”

The nurse cried again: "I didn't move out if I knew it......"

"Do you Dr. Xu like to raise plants?" Dai was momentarily curious.

Miss Nurse shook her head: "No, it's just because this potted plant is-" The front desk lady interrupted Miss Nurse's words sharply, and then said to Dai: "Miss Dai, I will tell her about your visit when Dr. Xu returns." ”

Obviously, he was euphemistically driving people away, and Dai was helpless, and finally glanced at the pot of ice lamp jade dew, and no longer lingered.

Xiao Gu Yi went to class at the rehabilitation center today, and originally planned to pick him up and go home with him in the evening, but now he has time to spare because he has not seen Dr. Xu. Dai Yi planned to go over in advance and be able to accompany Xiao Gu Yi to class for a while. Waiting for the intersection of the red street light, she caught a glimpse of the direction sign of the People's Hospital, she pondered for a moment in her heart, changed her mind, and dialed Duan Yuzeng's phone.

She was holding the psychology that he might not be able to see the call, and she didn't want to, but the phone rang twice and was picked up: "Dai Zhi." ”

"Ahh Dai Zhi was slightly flustered, "You...... Busy? ”

"Nope." Duan Yu once asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I'm ......," Dai waited, considering the language, "are you convenient now?" I'll go to the hospital and look for you. There are some things I want to say to you. ”

Duan Yu deserved to be fast: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

It was just a simple conversation for more than a minute, but it was more tense than ever. Although she made this phone call, Dai Zhi didn't really think about how to tell Duan Yuzeng about her "defection halfway".

In the past four years, not only has she lived in non-stop running, but Duan Yuzeng, who has been by her side, has worked hard for her. Her abandonment is not so much sorry for her efforts, but sorry for everything Duan Yu has done for her. And, sorry for the affection he had for her......

The distance is not far, and the words People's Hospital come into view at once. Dai got out of the taxi and called Duan Yuzeng as he walked inside, ready to tell him that she had arrived. When I looked up, I saw Duan Yuzeng's tall figure standing at the door.

He took out his phone from his pocket and glanced at the screen and hung up the phone, Dai put away the phone and stepped forward: "What's wrong?" I'll just go to your office. ”

"I don't have to go to the office, I've taken a leave of absence." Duan Yu once shook the car key in his hand: "Accompany me to a place." ”

"Where to go?" Dai waited for a hesitant face, "I'll have to-"

"Don't you have something to say to me?" Before she finished speaking, Duan Yu said: "Just now, I also have something to say to you." ”

Probably thinking about leaving a long time ago, Duan Yu did not wear a white coat, khaki straight-leg pants and a light blue polo shirt. With his hands in his trouser pockets, the whole person was in good spirits, and the expression on his face was slightly solemn. After all, after four years of getting along, Dai Zhizi noticed that he was a little different from today. And at this moment, his deep starry eyes stared at her, as if expecting her to agree. Retired private farmers.

After hesitating, Dai Zhi finally nodded: "Okay, let's go." ”

Duan Yuzeng's lifestyle advocates simplicity, and during his time in France, the hospital was not far from his apartment, so he insisted on riding his bicycle to work every day, which was both environmentally friendly and fitness. After returning to Rongcheng, it was impossible to ride a bicycle to work under various conditions, so he kept driving the car he was waiting for.

The furnishings in the car, including the position of the drawer boxes, are as she is used to. The only difference was that the smell in the car inevitably changed, but it was different from the bamboo fragrance she had smelled a few times before.

"Momoka?" Dai Zhi sniffed carefully and asked.

Duan Yu turned his head and quickly glanced at her, and then refocused his attention on the front: "Dog nose." ”

The ridiculous words, the tone was full of doting, and it was a little uncomfortable to listen to it, so he looked out the window with his face away. The open highway is full of scenery and vehicles, and the direction seems to be going to the suburbs.

"Where is this going?" Dai asked again.

Duan Yu didn't answer her directly, and still sold Guanzi: "You'll know later." ”

"I'm not worth anything anyway, so I won't sell me." Dai was joking, thinking about something else - if he went to the suburbs, he probably wouldn't be able to come back soon. Thinking of this, she took out her mobile phone to call Gu Qian, and after a while, she changed it to edit the text message: There is something to do, go home later.

"Are you reporting your whereabouts to Gu Qian?" Duan Yu asked coldly.

Dai waited for a slight shake of his hand and looked at him at him, not missing the fleeting trace of self-deprecation and loneliness on his face. Seeing this, she suddenly didn't dare to respond to the word "um", was silent for a moment, and tried to speak: "Yu Zeng, me and Gu Qian——"

"Don't talk yet, it will affect my driving." Duan Yu once looked ahead, and rubbed Dai Bei's hair with one free hand, "Let's talk about it later." ”

Dai Zhi stared at his resolute side face and pursed his lips: "Hmm......"

The temperature in the car was too pleasant, and she had always been prone to sleepiness in the car, and after the two did not speak again, her eyelids were unconsciously heavy in the silence, and when she woke up, the first thing that caught her eye was the delicate lamp on the ceiling.

His head was so dizzy that Dai Cheng rubbed his temples, blinked, and was stunned for a moment when he saw clearly in front of him. I'm no longer in the car, but in a room. There was no light in the room, the curtains were densely covered, and the light was dim, but she was no stranger to the retro layout in the room - Duan Yuzeng's room, Duan Yu's room in France.

France?!

Frightened in his heart, Dai waited to sit up suddenly, immediately lifted the quilt, jumped out of bed barefoot, and opened the curtains.

The dripping rain hits the glass, and the street lamps outside the windows are bright, reflecting a back garden, not the exotic street scene of France.

Dai took a long breath and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth - he almost thought he was back in France......

Between the shadows of the lush trees, a familiar back looms. Confirming that it was Duan Yuzeng, she hurriedly went downstairs to look for him.

Strange big house, the decoration style and the room just now have their own series, but the style is a little old, it seems that it has not been updated for many years. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and there was no sound when I walked, and the huge space was deserted with only cool-colored wall lamps.

Fortunately, the interior of the house is not complicated, and after going downstairs, I quickly found the door to the back garden, and there was an umbrella and a pair of outdoor shoes by the door, as if it was specially prepared for her.

The back garden is large and has a large number of evergreen pines and cypresses, which bloom with a variety of colorful flowers, which have been washed away by the rain. The whole environment is quiet and quiet, but it is also because of this quiet and quiet, which also makes people feel slightly weird. Dai waited in a hurry, quickly went deep along the only bluestone path, and soon saw Duan Yuzeng's back, stopping three or four meters away from him.

He squatted in front of a flourishing flower bush and carefully pulled weeds, although he was wearing a transparent plastic raincoat, but because of his tall size, his clothes and hair were still wet, and judging by the degree of wetness, it seemed that he had been drenched in the rain for a long time.

Perhaps too focused, he didn't notice her presence at all, and it wasn't until she put the umbrella over his head that he turned around: "Awake?" ”

Dai pulled his face and confessed his unhappiness: "I will be scared of a heart attack, and I will wake up from a strange room for some reason." ”

"Strange?" Duan Yu stood up with a smile and pushed the umbrella back towards Dai Cheng.

The reference was, of course, the familiar room.

"Where is this?" Dai Zhi looked around. Outside of the pines and cypresses, the walls were erected high, and the sky was dark, so I couldn't see anything clearly, but I thought that the surroundings should be empty, and there were no other buildings to cover it.

Duan Yu was silent for a moment, slowly took off his gloves, and looked in a certain direction: "My mother's home." ”

Dai was stunned for a moment and followed his gaze.

Surrounded by flowers, there is a simple tombstone, there is nothing on the tombstone, no name, no posthumous photo, only engraved with the year of birth and death, and the signature of the last Duan Yuzeng.

"I'm sorry I kidnapped you without telling you beforehand. I'm just worried that if you had told you upfront, you might have been even more reluctant to come with me. Duan Yu once explained slowly, "I wanted to bring you here when I was in France, but I haven't found a chance since I returned to Rongcheng." I finally let her see you today. ”

Dai Zhi stared at the tombstone in a daze, and gradually recalled the meaning of his words, and couldn't help but clench the handle of the umbrella: "Yu Zeng, I-"

"Today is my mother's death day." Duan Yu turned around, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. It was obviously a smile, but the smile was unusually lonely and sad, and he looked at him quietly and looked at him quietly.

He never thought that he would find such emotions in Duan Yuzeng's body, and it was the first time that he mentioned his family to her. And his loneliness and sadness show that most of these are not good memories. Just thinking about it, he heard Duan Yuzeng's tone stunned: "I am an unfilial son." It's been years. For many years, on the day of her death, I personally stood in front of her tombstone, swept her grave, offered flowers to her, and talked to her. ”

He stared intently at the crystal droplets on the petals, "Every flower here is her favorite, and she used to take care of it herself." She likes these flowers and plants, and when she is alive, she spends most of her time on them. However, apart from these flowers and plants, she has nothing to do to pass the time......"

When he said the last sentence, his voice was too soft, and it was muffled by the sound of the rain, and Dai couldn't hear it clearly, only to see him tilt his head slightly, staring in the direction of the southwest corner, I don't know whether he was staring at the void, or staring at something far away.

He has always only comforted her, and he in front of her made her not know how to face it for a while. She reached out to take his unusually hot palm, as he had given her strength in the past, and remained silent with him.

Duan Yuzeng trembled his fingers slightly, and suddenly asked, "Dai Zhi, you can't fulfill your promise, can you?" ”

Dai waited for a moment in his heart and did not answer.

Duan Yu once turned his back, "From the day you returned to Rongcheng, I expected that there would be such a day. After a moment's pause, he chuckled and shook his head, "No, no, maybe I should say, from the day I rescued you, I knew ......"

"He did hurt you deeply, but it is undeniable that the reason why it is so deep is precisely because you love him so deeply. Actually, I don't want you to hate him, which means that the more you hate him, how hard it is to forget him. I know very well that the kind of intimacy that was implanted in the flesh and blood at the beginning, can only be achieved with the indifference of forgetting each other, and the real parting ......"

"Countless shakes, you can't distinguish clearly in the bureau, I can see it clearly as an outsider, but I can't bear to expose it. I can't bear to expose it, why don't I have a selfish luck mentality......" Duan Yu once muttered in a low voice, "The facts still prove that you don't want the future I can give you......"

"Yu Zeng, no, it's not that I don't want it." Dai Zhi blinked his sour eyes and lowered his head, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I didn't lie to you, I really thought about leaving Rongcheng, taking Xiao Gu Yi back to France with you, and living a peaceful and stable life. ”

"But...... But...... I overestimate myself too much......" Dai Zhi twisted the corners of his clothes and bit his lip: "No matter how much I want to simply hate him, just hate him, but still involuntarily-"

"Needless to say." Duan Yuzeng's voice was filled with a hint of pain: "Needless to say......" He turned his head, "Emotional things are never reluctant, and they can't be won by hard work alone." I never thought to tie you to me, that kite string, in fact, is long gone. You are free, wear it. ”

His pure black pupils seemed to be fogged by the rain, and he choked on his throat, stepped forward, hugged him, and snorted his lips: "Yu Zeng, thank you......"

"I said, I don't need your thanks." Duan Yu hugged her back, with a smile in his tone: "Today should be me thanking you, thank you for accompanying me on this trip." Immediately, he patted her on the shoulder, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

There was an elderly man under the porch connecting the back garden and the interior, and he thought he was about a housekeeper, but because he was wearing an old robe and horse coat, Dai Zhi couldn't help but think of Xiucai.

He kept his head down and didn't speak, and seemed to be unusually respectful to Duan Yuzeng, and as soon as the two walked back, he handed over two dry towels.

Duan Yu naturally took it and gave one of them to Dai Zhi.

Dai Yi wiped a few drops of water on his face, his eyes wandered between Duan Yuzeng and Lao Xiucai, and he couldn't help but make up the picture of the housekeeper serving the young master in ancient times, and vaguely understood where Duan Yu's innate noble temperament came from.

Naturally, he found Dai Zhi's scrutiny, and Duan Yu pointed at Lao Xiucai: "Uncle Feng." The elders who have been with my mother. ”

Dai Zhi didn't actually mean to spy on his privacy, but since he introduced it and used "elder", she was busy owing: "Uncle Feng is good." ”

Uncle Feng didn't react to her greetings as if he hadn't heard. Duan Yu seemed to be accustomed to it, and walked up the stairs indifferently, and said, "You follow Uncle Feng to eat something first, and I'll change my clothes and come." ”

His voice sounded a little hoarse, and Dai Zhi glanced at his half-wet clothes, and told him with concern: "Well, you go quickly, don't catch a cold." ”

The dining room is in the innermost part of the living room, Uncle Feng is silently leading the way in front, Dai Zhi is embarrassed to talk to him, and casually looks around at the layout of the house, the more he looks at it, the more it looks like the style of the Republic of China.

Especially when she walked into the dining room, the top was a round hood that was upside down, and a row of colorful glass false windows, although it was a decoration that could be seen in a Catholic church, she always felt like she had seen it somewhere before......

Uncle Feng interrupted her thoughts by pulling the wooden chair, Dai waited to walk over, thanked her, and just sat down, a bird popped out of a clock on the wall without warning, and announced the time loudly.

Zero ...... the whole point?

Dai was stunned for a moment, and immediately jumped up in shock.

Gu Qian! Gu Qian! She only told Gu Zhen that she had something to do and would go back later, but she didn't hear back to him at this time, and he had to die in a hurry!

"Uncle Feng! Phone! Do you have a phone at home?! Dai Zhi grabbed Uncle Feng's hand with a white face.

Uncle Feng glanced at her hand, and his expression did not fluctuate in any way.

Deaf-mute?

Dai waited for a guess, but didn't think much about it, immediately let go of his hand, and hurriedly ran upstairs, ready to go back to the room where she woke up to search for her phone.

I didn't want to, I pushed open the door, and a very visually striking male nude broke into view.

Dai Zhi was completely stunned, forgetting his reaction for a while, but Duan Yu had asked first: "What?" What's wrong? ”

His expression was not embarrassed or embarrassed, and he didn't even put on his clothes in a hurry when he was asked. Dai Zhi hurriedly turned his back, and his tongue couldn't help but knot: "I...... I...... I'm looking for my phone and want to call. ”

"Oh," Duan Yuzeng was still calm, "Wait a minute, I'll get dressed right away." ”

"Well......" Dai waited to respond, walked out of the room for the time being, subconsciously took the door, and then leaned his back against the wall, covering his face with both hands that could be imagined to be red and almost dripping blood without looking.

It's embarrassing......

Just as he was scolding in shame, Duan Yuzeng's voice suddenly sounded beside him: "Okay." ”

Dai was startled, put down his hand and looked up, meeting his deep eyes. I don't know if he was finally a little embarrassed, and his cheeks were vaguely reddened.

"Oh, good, good." Dai Zhi responded awkwardly, with his back against the wall, flashed into the room, and the picture he had just seen spontaneously appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help frowning—as if ...... What else seems to be on his mermaid line besides that sexy navel hair?

"What are you doing standing? Didn't you say you were looking for a mobile phone to make a call? The hoarse voice came out on the back of her head again, Dai was frightened again, subconsciously took a step back, and said in the future: "Hmm...... Find, find the mobile phone ......"

Probably because her expression was too rich, Duan Yu had hooked his lips and smiled, but before his laughter could fully unfold, he suddenly coughed violently, coughing so much that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were about to shake out.

"Are you okay?" Dai asked worriedly, Duan Yu once waved his hand as if he wanted to speak, but before the words came out, the person was not very steady, covering his mouth with one hand and pressing the sofa next to him with the other.

Dai waited for him to hurriedly support him, just to hold his palm, only to find that his body was hot like a fireball, "You have a fever?!" ”

"Hmm." Duan Yu finally retrieved his voice from the cough, but he said disapprerovitously: "I've taken medicine myself, it's okay." Let's go, I'll send you back first. ”

Dai Zhi grabbed him: "How dare I let you send it like this, and you can't give up your life?" You'd better rest and don't go out. ”

Duan Yu once smiled: "Am I a doctor or are you a doctor?" ”

"The doctor is still ruining his body like this?" Dai retorted angrily, touched his forehead, frowned and asked, "How long have you been in the rain outside?" ”

What answered her was Duan Yuzeng's new round of violent coughing.

Dai was about to pour him a glass of water, but his cough suddenly stopped, but the whole person suddenly fell upside down towards her. Caught off guard, she staggered and almost fell, but fortunately, she held on to the sofa in time to support Duan Yuzeng, who was pressing on her, and his hot body temperature was transmitted more clearly.

"Yu Zeng!" Dai Zhi's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted: "Uncle Feng! ”

*

Duan Yu once burned a little badly. Because he said that he had taken medicine, Dai Zhi didn't know what kind of medicine he was taking, so he didn't dare to give it to him again, so he only asked Uncle Feng to use alcohol to cool him down physically, and planned to feed him antipyretic medicine in a few hours.

After the first call, it was already an hour later. Duan Yu was sweating all over, Uncle Feng was changing his clothes, and Dai took advantage of this time to walk to the corridor and make a phone call.

When I took out my phone from my bag before, it turned off automatically as if it was out of power. The huge house is really isolated from the world, there are no computers, no telephones, no devices that can communicate with the outside world, let alone chargers.

Duan Yu was asleep, and she couldn't find his phone. Fortunately, the power bank in her bag still has some power left, and it can barely last for a short time.

As soon as the phone was turned on, countless missed calls and text message reminders poured in, and Dai Zhi didn't dare to look at it at all, so he dialed Gu Zhi's number in fear.

He had apparently been guarding his mobile phone until it rang and was picked up, and a tense question came immediately: "Where are you?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to worry you. There was a delay, and then the phone ran out of battery and I didn't have time to call you. ”

"Where are you?!"

Gu Zhen asked repeatedly, the volume was raised by several points, her hand shook, and she almost dropped the phone to the ground, "I was with Duan Yu." ”

Because her ears were close to the earpiece, when the words fell, she immediately felt that Gu Qian's aura had changed, and she hurriedly continued before he could speak: "I'm talking to him about the two of us. ”

Gu Zhen was silent for two seconds and asked, "Agreed?" ”

"Hmm."

"I'll be back when it's done." Gu Qian's voice was cold and noncommittal, "Where, I'm going to pick you up?" ”

He must have gone to her and Slim's apartment to find her, knowing that she wasn't there, otherwise he wouldn't have kept asking her where she was. However, she herself did not know where she was now. Looking at the dark night, the sudden rain and the faint street lamps outside the window, Dai Bei pursed his lips: "I'll go back when the rain stops when it's dawn." ”

"Wait." He called out to her, and said nothing else, but his tone was full of annoyance, and the meaning was self-evident.

"It's not just me and him, don't worry. He's raining and has a fever, and I'll leave when he's a little better. Feeling that Gu Zhen was about to speak again, Dai Zhi sighed lightly, "Ah Zhi, he is my savior." I said it, I've already talked to him. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the mobile phone sent out a reminder that it was about to run out of battery, and Dai Zhi frowned slightly: "My mobile phone is almost out of battery." ”

"You said, I'll be back at dawn." Gu Zhen was still displeased, but he had obviously compromised, his tone was a little childish, and Dai Zhi couldn't help curling the corners of his lips: "Yes, I'll go back at dawn." But you can't say my words, you can't ask me to appear in front of you as soon as the belly of the fish is white, right? ”

Gu Zhen didn't refute, and said in a deep voice: "I'll wait for you to go back and send Xiao Gu Yi to the rehabilitation center for class." ”

"Okay."

Waiting for her to agree, Gu Zhen cut off the phone, looked at the moonlight and stars outside, his expression was calm, and the voice of the ace came from behind him at this time: "What?" Are people alright? I said that it would be fine, and you would be kidnapped at every turn, and you would be too worried. ”

"Also, last time, it was because it was determined that Dai was in an accident, so the positioning system in the bureau could be activated. This is conditional, it's not for you to play around, to track, you might as well install a tracker in her mobile phone. ”

Listening to the meaning of the trump card's words, Xiang Yang immediately pulled away the topic to stop: "Okay, big card, it's hard for you to come here, it's late at night, don't go back, go, go upstairs and sleep with me!" ”

Ace yawned and sat up from the sofa tiredly: "No need, I'll go back to my own house." ”

Gu Zhen turned his head and asked, "Where is it raining nearby?" ”

Xiang Yang looked at the ace in a daze: "What's wrong?" ”

*

In the room, Uncle Feng had already changed Duan Yuzeng's clothes.

I don't know if the medicine that Duan Yu had taken by himself finally took effect, or if the alcohol cooled down, his face looked a lot better. Seeing Uncle Feng guarding the bedside, Dai Zhi simply went downstairs, intending to cook some porridge for Duan Yuzeng.

The kitchen was next door to the dining room, and it was surprisingly large, and although it was very clean, the cooking utensils were all old styles, and it looked like no one had fired for a long time, and fortunately there was gas, not the original stove, otherwise she would have vomited blood.

The kitchen has a separate inner room dedicated to storing ingredients, fresh fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator, Dai Zhi picked carrots and ginger, but couldn't find where to put the rice, looked around for a long time, and finally fell on the huge ceramic bucket in the corner.

walked over and lifted the lid, and sure enough, he saw some white rice left at the bottom of the bucket, and Dai Zhi couldn't help but be a little speechless.

In fact, she found it at the first glance when she came in, and Ben wondered why she put a decorative porcelain in the kitchen, but now it seems that it is not an ornament, but a rice bucket. That's right, if the whole house inherits the design of the Republic of China, then it is not against the harmony to use ceramic barrels to pack rice.

Since she can live here, what kind of woman is Duan Yuzeng's mother?

Curiosity was hung up in full, and Dai Zhi thought that maybe Duan Yu would wake up and be able to probe the wind, and at the same time he was about to pull out the rice bag in the ceramic bucket, and a hand in the horizontal stab stretched out from behind her to stop her.
