If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon.

Lying on the hospital bed and looking out the window, I could first see the newly built buildings, and then the sky above. The sunny sky in the afternoon was very blue and clean, as if there was no scum - there was still some, that was Chicago, sunshine. The shadows of clouds cast a dark shadow over this chaotic ocean-like city. Bubbles bubbled and floated in the deep black sea, and there were many sounds, including all kinds of cars, construction at the construction site, the noise of people, and the big screen. The news broadcast on the screen blurred the boundaries between silence and noise in the winter afternoon.

With such integrity, even God needs a nap, and Lin Nian is no exception.

What woke him up from his afternoon nap after a while was a warmth, like a piece of sunlight shining on his arms through a small gap in the curtains. It was somewhere between hot and warm and could not be ignored. Although he did not deliberately notice it, it was The temperature made you open your eyes. You know that he is bathed in light. What could be hotter than the sun?

It was the gaze, Helena's curious gaze.

Lin Nian opened his eyes and saw the girl in front of him. For a moment, he thought of the marble sculpture. Please don’t get me wrong. When he mentioned marble sculptures, he didn’t mean to dwell on the formal beauty of the Venus de Milo or the Virgin Mary. What he was thinking of at the moment was just the kind of sculptures that can weave thin veils and rounded flesh out of hard stone. The beauty of ingenious craftsmanship.

It's like God coincided with today's season when he created creation, so he took a nap in a reasonable manner. When he put down the brush, he inadvertently left a line on Helena's face, making her as beautiful as a hazy veil, like a hazy veil. It's the texture of flesh, like a dream Lin Nian had while taking a nap during his lunch break.

What a beautiful girl.

For some reason, Helena reminded Lin Nian of the cheerleader of the basketball team when he was a student at Shilan High School. She had long legs and a slender waist and was as beautiful as a female monster. She performed a ballet song at the school anniversary party, kicking and rising. , rotate, lower the waist, beautiful like a swan hidden in the light and shadow.

He couldn't help but compare Helena in front of him with that girl, but he regretfully found that for some reason he couldn't remember what that girl looked like.

In the ward, Helena and Lin Nian were both sitting on the hospital bed chatting. After chatting for a few words, Lin Nian found that Helena seemed a little reserved and her words were not smooth, as if she was carefully considering the placement of knives and forks at a banquet. He adjusted the angle for fear of losing etiquette.

In her words, "like" means "like" and "hate" means "don't really like". "Good" means "good" and "bad" means "not so good".

Lin Nian suddenly felt that this girl was not like a cheerleader. In fact, she was more like a little goddess who was far away. This was because the little goddess spoke to him like this. Her words were very tactful, as if she was adjusting to the gears. Try to maintain the length and temperature of the conversation. It is more like making soup than having a conversation. When you open the lid, there are star anise and cinnamon floating inside, and the more it cooks, the more fragrant it becomes.

So their conversation was bland and trivial.

"It's a nice day today - it's sunny, and I like sunny days."

"Are you feeling better? I see you're in a wheelchair - you're feeling better, but your knee is injured."

"Do you like reading? - Yes, you like "One Hundred Years of Solitude" and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame," as well as popular literature."

"Do you watch basketball? - Not much, but I was a cheerleader for the high school basketball team."

"Play and know the piano and violin."

"Look, I go to the cinema with my friends on weekends. I like the recently released "Flower Lovers"."

"Listen, I like music, especially Taylor Swift's songs."

Lin Nian and Helena chatted about a lot of rambling things. From the moment they met, there seemed to be no barrier between them. About their interests, hobbies, living habits, and strengths and weaknesses, Helena answered every question. She had a smile on her face from beginning to end. Looking at the clinical boy with a slight smile.

Lin Nian learned that Helena was indeed a very smart girl with many talents, so she was sought after by many boys in school. Her mother, who was a Victoria's Secret model, often told her to guard against fire and theft, guard against classmates, and stay in the same pig pen. The pigs in there are all stuffed with cabbage. If you want to find a husband, it’s best to be like your dad. He walked into the pig pen with his head held high and his chest held high with a Hollywood script, and asked everyone to weigh them. When your mother I was picked because of my beauty, and now I can become famous only to give birth to you, a beautiful little monster like you.

When Helena said this, Lin Nian couldn't help laughing, and Helena also chuckled. She seemed to be a very easy-going girl next door.

"Lin Nian, right? Your name is a bit strange. Don't you have an English name?" Helena asked Lin Nian with a smile and folded her hands on her lower abdomen.

"I" Lin Nian paused, because he did not have an English name, but his character at this time was a Chinese American who had lived in Brooklyn, New York for a long time. He should have a local name.

"Richard, your English name." Instructor Ryder's voice suddenly sounded in Lin Nian's ears. Only then did he realize that all his chatting with Helena in this ward had been executed by the person on the other side of the wireless headset. The Ministry of Public Security monitored him, and when he encountered difficulties, they immediately came to the rescue.

"Richard, you can call me Richard." Lin Nian said: "My grandfather has always lived in Chinatown. He likes Chinese culture very much, so he always calls me by my Chinese name, so Lin Nian is also my common name."

"Richard, what disease did you get in the hospital?"

"Diabetes has caused complications. The doctor said that I need to be hospitalized for a few days for observation. All other wards are full. My mother finally found a bed for me. I didn't expect that my patient would be a beautiful girl like you." Lin Nian Smiled at Helena.

"Do you know what happened in the hospital yesterday?" Helena's tone obviously paused, and then she lowered her voice and asked cautiously: "Are you one of 'them'?"

"What happened yesterday? What happened in the hospital yesterday? Who are 'them'?" Lin Nian looked unresponsive.

"No, it's nothing." Helena looked at Lin Nian's young and exaggerated face and suddenly became quiet. She didn't know whether the expression in her eyes was loss or happiness.

Lin Nian noticed that the other party was sitting on the bed and secretly looking at him from the corner of his eye, as if hesitating. Sure enough, after a while, Helena seemed to muster up the courage to look at Lin Nian: "Richard, it's nice to chat with you, but I I think you should change the ward, maybe another hospital."

"Why? What happened?"

"Something bad happened here, and bad things may continue to happen." Helena said softly, her overlapping hands holding together silently.

"Something not so good?"

Helena didn't speak. She seemed hesitant and confused. She didn't know how to tell the boy what happened to her in the hospital last night. If she told the truth, would the other boy be afraid?

"Bad things will eventually pass. Don't worry, everyone has bad moments." Lin Nian smiled and shook his head and said, "Since we are all sitting here chatting, it means that the bad things have passed."

Helena stared blankly at the boy on the hospital bed. The sun shone on the side of the boy's face. For a moment, she had the illusion that the boy was shining. This was a wonderful feeling, a sense of security, and she didn't know it. Why did the accumulated darkness in his heart quietly dissipate just by looking at this boy's nightmare.

"Let's talk about something else. Didn't you say you can play the piano? In fact, I can also play some. What are your favorite songs?"

"Schubert and Chopin, what about you?"

"I was born in Yeluzi and played Richard Clayderman. Do you know about the wedding in the dream?"

“It’s hard not to know that anyone who plays the piano plays it.”

“That’s one of the only things I can play.”

"I can teach you other songs if I have a chance!"

"The 'S' class has taken care of 'Marita'. Although 'Marita' asked about his identity, this was probably a subconscious move. Judging from the current situation, 'Marita' is not suspicious of him." Ryder listened. He nodded while listening to the chat between boys and girls in the headphones.

"Should I say that she deserves to be an 'S' class? To be able to gain the other party's trust so quickly. I thought that with Marita's current mental state, it would take two or three days for the two of them to talk to each other." Gloria Said: "But does the murderer really not suspect fraud? After all, 'Marita' chose to stay here after the attempted murder instead of being discharged from the hospital in panic."

"Of course he will suspect that there is an ambush in the hospital, but he will only think that it is the 'FBI' who has been chasing him, and he will probably be very happy to accept the challenge." Ryder said: "There must be a guardian around the bait, otherwise If the bait is swallowed, it is the dereliction of duty of our entire execution department. The murderer will definitely bear the brunt of doubting the identity of Lin Nian, who is in the same ward with 'Marita'. He will carefully observe Lin Nian's every move and 'Marita''s treatment of Lin Nian. reaction."

"If you want the murderer to attack 'Marita' again, you must dispel his vigilance. The character Lin Nian must disguise himself as an ordinary person. He must first deceive 'Marita' before he can deceive the murderer." Ryder looked at the screen Lin Nian: "Fortunately, the 'S' class is very young, and no one will associate him with an 'agent'. This is his natural advantage, and it is also our advantage."

"When the murderer can't help but strike, Lin Nian, who is hiding next to Marita, will take action and we will rush to close the net." Gloria said.

"The next step depends on the patience of the murderer. He may be disguised as a patient or a doctor, because he needs to pay close attention to his delicious prey and changes in the surrounding environment." Ryder said: "Now Lin Nian This guardian has already appeared, and there may be some movement of the murderer tonight, so all teams should be prepared for all-night surveillance."
