Chapter Twenty-Five: A Chance for You
"He is in the dark, and I am in the light. It's useless if I want to be careful! I thought secretly, but I couldn't help but appreciate Fan Ruru's kindness, nodded and said, "I'll be careful in the future." β
"Hmm."
"How did you know I was hospitalized?"
Fan Ruru said: "I heard that you and Liu Jun fought, so I went to your dormitory to find you and see if you were okay." Your roommate told me you were hospitalized, so I came over. β
"You're in my dorm?" I stared at Fan Ruru's eyes tightly, "But I remember, I haven't even told you my name, right?" β
Facing my burning gaze, a mischievous smile flashed in Fan Ruru's eyes: "Senior in the Criminal Investigation Department, Chen Shen, who said I don't know your name?" β
"Uh..." My heart moved, on the shore of Xiaolan Lake, in the face of Liu Jun's provocation, I did report my name and profession, Fan Ruru was at the scene, but I didn't expect her to remember my original words.
"Chen Shen... I want to ask you a question. Fan Ruru smiled and put her hands behind her back, turned around in front of my hospital bed for a half, and said with a smile, "Do you have a younger brother named Chen Qian?" β
This is the first time that someone has made fun of my name, and looking at Fan Ruru's chest, which looks more majestic and straight because of the back of her hands, I also showed a smile: "My brother doesn't, but I have a cousin named Zhou Qian, who is a detective." β
"There is really a man among your brothers named 'shallow'... I'm actually guessing... But one of your two cousins is a policeman and the other is a detective, one deep and one shallow, it's really a good match! β
Looking at Fan Ruru's smiling face, I felt a little emotion in my heart, compared to her cold and lonely when I first met, she seems to be a different person now. But I'm happy for her to be able to change for the better.
"Chen Shen..."When I was a little stunned, Fan Ruru suddenly called my name.
"Huh?"
"I know your name, but you haven't asked me for my name, have you?" I don't know if it's my delusion, Fan Ruru's tone seems to have a little resentment.
"Youβ" hesitated, and I decided to play dumb, "What's your name?" β
Fan Ruru snorted: "Sure enough... You don't even know my name yet! If I don't say it, aren't you going to ask? β
"Thisβ" I smiled wryly, speechless.
"Forget it, for your sake, I won't bother with you." Fan Ruru stroked her hair, "You have a good rest, I'll go first." β
I smiled wryly and said, "What about your name?" β
Fan Ruru glanced at me: "I said that you only asked, it's insincere." Gone, goodbye! β
Watching Fan Ruru's graceful figure disappear at the door of the ward, I shook my head with a wry smile. This girl's psychology is really unpredictable!
I was sighing when an aunt on the hospital bed next to me suddenly spoke: "Young man, your girlfriend is so beautiful, you have to watch it closely!" β
"I... She's not mine..."
Before I finished speaking, my aunt had already interrupted me: "I know that you are young and thin-skinned, aunt and I am from here, others can't see your situation, but I can see it clearly, auntie." Young man, you like that girl, don't you? β
"Iβ" I felt my face flush a little. If you like it, you have to say it generously. You're a boy, you have to take the initiative, don't you see it? That girl has some interest in you, too! β
My heart skipped a beat and I stammered, "Big... Auntie, you... Where did you see that..."
The aunt smiled: "She sprayed such a fragrant perfume on her body, I was so far away, I could smell it." And her outfit, I could tell it took her a long time to get it. Young man, let me tell you, if it weren't for the more important person in your heart, girls wouldn't bother to dress up so much! β
My aunt is in her fifties, her gray hair and faint wrinkles make her face look a little sluggish, but her eyes are still bright, and the corners of her mouth are upturned when she speaks, with a heart-warming smile. The passage of time has made her no longer young, but it has also given her life experience and wisdom.
"This aunt looks sharp, her judgment should be credible..."I secretly thought in my heart, "Is Fan Ruru really interesting to me?" β
"Young man, let me tell you, I think when my aunt was young, there were many people chasing her..." I was idle and bored anyway, so I chatted with my aunt sentence after sentence.
It wasn't until the evening, when my roommates came to see me in the hospital, that my aunt and I ended chatting. "Chen Shen, your complexion looks pretty good, what does the doctor say?" Xiao Xu will always be the most attentive boss, we once made fun of him, saying that he was born in the wrong car, and he should be a girl in his life. Hearing this kind of joke, he was not annoyed, he just laughed and laughed.
When I saw them, I was happy: "It's no big deal, the doctor said that if you observe them for another day, you can be discharged from the hospital if there is no problem." β
Xiao Hei patted me on the shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows and said, "The goddess came to see you in the morning, right?" You can do it, Chen Shen! When did you get her, and she didn't show her tone at all? Are we still brothers? β
Xiao Xu also said: "Yes! When Fan Ruru came to look for you in the boys' dormitory in the morning, we all couldn't believe it! Tell me, how did you catch up with her? Could it be that because she saved you once, she promised you her body? β
I smiled wryly and said, "What a promise by example... What are you talking about? Fan Ruru and I are not even friends, and there is a reason why she came to see me..."
"What is the reason?"
"Uh... I can't explain it in a few words, but it's not what you think it is..."
The reason was indeed that I couldn't explain it in a few words, but they thought I was deliberately denying it, so they all looked at me with contempt.
"Da Fei, what's wrong with you today? Why don't you speak? "I noticed that Da Fei sat at the end of my hospital bed after he came in, looking down at the window, and didn't speak, which seemed very abnormal compared to his usual noisy personality.
Da Fei turned his head and smiled at me: "It's nothing, maybe I didn't sleep well last night, and my spirit is not very good." β
Da Fei's face was very pale, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he did not look like he had slept well. I nodded, "Then you can lie down on the chair next to you and sleep for a while." β
The hospital bed is equipped with one kind of bench for family members who sleep with them at night.
"It's fine." Da Fei turned his head to look out the window again, looking preoccupied.
I looked at Xiao Xu: "What's wrong with Da Fei?" Looks like you're on your mind? Xiao Xu said: "Xiao Hei and I also noticed it and asked him, and he also said that he didn't sleep well." β
"Da Fei played the game quite late last night, maybe that's the reason." Xiao Hei interjected.
We were talking about Da Fei, but Da Fei didn't seem to notice anything, just looking out the window motionless.
Da Fei: What's wrong? I'm really not used to such a quiet big fly!
Inexplicably, my heart was a little uneasy.
I stayed in the hospital for two more days, and by Tuesday afternoon, the doctor informed me that I could be discharged. When going through the discharge procedures, Fan Ruru came.
"You, why are you here?" Seeing her, I was a little nervous.
"Why, aren't you welcome? Then I'm good to go! Fan Ruru turned around, but did not move.
I hurriedly said, "Welcome, welcome... It's too late for you to come and see me. β
"Really?" She turned around and smiled. I finished the formalities and walked over to her and smelled the nice smell again.
She... I'm wearing perfume again... Auntie's words came to my heart again, and my heart jumped uncompromisingly.
"I'm discharged." I say.
"Are you going back to school?"
"Hmm."
"That's right, I'm also going back to school, just by the way, let's go back together."
Way... Do you want to go back to school together? Did she pass by the hospital to see me?
I looked at Fan Ruru, her expression was very calm, and I couldn't see obvious emotions.
We went back to school, entered the police academy campus, and we didn't say anything about separation, just wandered around aimlessly. In the police academy, the yang is flourishing and the yin is declining, and girls are national treasures, and girls like Fan Ruru are national treasures among national treasures. We walked down the road together and caught the eye of almost all passers-by.
Is this the attraction of beauty? This feeling of being watched makes me feel uncomfortable, but Fan Ruru is relaxed and accustomed to it.
After strolling around, we walked to the shore of Xiaolan Lake. Speaking of which, we can know each other, or because of this lake. We stopped very tacitly.
Standing on the shore, looking at the calm water, Fan Ruru suddenly said in a very ethereal voice: "In fact, every time I stand by the lake, I want to jump down, just like Xiaolan, in order to pursue the love in my heart, I don't care about it." β
I was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Don't mess around, jumping into the lake and love, but there is no inevitable connection, if you want to think about it, don't really jump!" β
Fan Ruru turned her face to look at me, and laughed: "Why are you so nervous?" It's me who jumps, not you! β
"You didn't want me to save you when you jumped," I muttered to myself, "you don't know how to swim, why do you always come here, be careful and fall down like last time." β
"Last time..."Fan Ruru turned her face and looked at the lake, "Chen Shen, do you believe in fate?" β
Fan Ruru's tone was a little strange, and I didn't know how to answer, so I thought about it and asked, "Then do you believe it?" β
Fan Ruru did not hesitate, and said firmly: "I believe it." β
I was silent. Is there such an ethereal thing as fate?
"Chen Shen..."Fan Ruru suddenly smiled, her smile was as beautiful as a blooming epiphany, "I'll give you a chance..."
An opportunity? β¦ What is the chance? β¦ I feel like my heart is beating so fast that it's not normal.
