Be in low spirits

Chapter 29 Memory Opening

The weather forecast said that it would rain heavily tomorrow. Kong Zhixi woke up and found Li Li sleeping beside her. He had an untidy beard and looked haggard. He must have been guarding here for a few days.

She moved her body, trying to raise herself up, and woke him up. "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?" He moved gently and spoke in a hoarse voice. After standing up, he looked around, then lowered his head and spoke to her.

There were many needles on the back of my hand, the skin was a little wrinkled, the medicine was dripping from the syringe, and the environment was eerily quiet.

She couldn't make any sound and could only point to the bottle of water opposite the bed. Li Li looked in the direction she pointed, brought some water, and dipped a cotton swab in it for her.

The feeling of thirst eased a little, and she pointed to her neck again.

Li Li whispered in her ear: "Once the wound heals, your voice will return. Don't worry."

She looked at him, wanting to say a lot, but couldn't, so she gave up. The nurse came over to take a look, ran to call the doctor on duty, the doctor did another examination, said something to Li Li, and left.

The recovery days were long and painful, the hospital facilities were outdated and boring, Kong Zhixi's neck still couldn't move, the gauze hadn't been removed yet, and her voice was hoarse and unpleasant.

After hearing Li Li say that he got the address from Fu Yan, Kong Zhixi began to doubt his identity. Li Li went home and made different soups for her. Although she drank a lot, she still lost a lot of weight and her uric acid index kept rising. After the doctor stopped him sternly, he finally made a pot of porridge. The porridge was very thin. She drank two sips and didn't want to drink it anymore.

"Has the murderer been caught?" She wrote this sentence on the paper.

While peeling an apple, he said nonchalantly, "Not yet, but he hasn't committed any more crimes. Someone is investigating, so don't worry too much." His beard was starting to grow again, and it looked a little sloppy.

"What if he commits crime again?" Kong Zhixi was a little worried that if the murderer knew that she was not dead, he would come to the hospital to kill her again.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Li Li saw her concerns.

"We are getting married?" Kong Zhixi clearly remembered what she saw when she was unconscious.

"Do you remember?" Li Li's hands were shaking as she peeled an apple. She remembered, she finally remembered!

"Hmm." She stared at him, hoping he could give her more answers.

"We are husband and wife!" He was a little excited and jumped up in the ward, and the apple fell from his hand to the ground.

Kong Zhixi quickly shook her hands vigorously, trying to calm him down, but it was no use. She grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked him to sit down.

Li Li thought she really remembered everything. Looking at her actions, he had an expression of understanding. He held her face and kissed her!

Kong Zhixi was completely stunned. Her mind went blank and she froze. After a few minutes, she pushed him away and babbled a few words. Her voice was like a drake, and the wound in her throat was pulling at every painful nerve.

Li Li staggered back two steps, and after seeing her reaction, he stepped forward, stroked her back, soothed her breathing, and pressed the call button on the bedside.

The rain outside the window suddenly poured down like it had found a ladle. The weather was hot and humid, and Kong Zhixi was in a very depressed mood. Her throat was already injured, and now she had to breathe oxygen to slow her breathing. This wound was probably not going to heal.

This Fu Yan was the instigator of all this. If she could find him, she would cut him into pieces! She swore secretly.

Li Li sat opposite the bed and didn't dare to say a word. He thought she had remembered everything and that he should be able to get through it. However, her words brought him back to his original form. Now that she couldn't speak, he didn't dare to ask more, for fear that she would tear the wound again if he opened his mouth.

She was angry for two days. She refused to write a word, drink a mouthful of soup, and would not let him touch her hand. He was tired during the ten days she was in the hospital. He lost five or six pounds. The family of the deceased also put a lot of pressure on him. He didn't have the energy to comfort her, so he just let her do what she wanted.

There are several exercise machines in the yard outside the hospital ward. Kong Zhixi often goes there to kill time. Today, she met an uncle there. He was very happy to see her and pulled her to play chess with her. She waved her hands and pointed to her throat, trying to explain that she didn't know how to play. The uncle didn't care. He pulled her to sit down and set up the chess board. He played by himself. Kong Zhixi had to sit there and cooperate with him.

The uncle was playing happily, but Kong Zhixi felt bored watching him. Suddenly, the uncle's look changed and he told her, "Get out of here!" Then he shook his head and began to hum.

Kong Zhixi was shocked by this inexplicable switch, not because of the words, but because of the look in her eyes, which was clearly the look of disappointment in her father's eyes. Following the direction of the uncle, she saw the doctor's back as he walked away, or she saw nothing. When she turned around to look at the uncle again, he began to look hateful, like the father in her memory who always suppressed her.

The people and things around her are beyond her control. The direction of things is becoming more and more deviant, and she almost lost her life. Fu Yan can only communicate unilaterally. He said he would solve the case, but now he doesn't propose any plan. I wonder which game designer has no brains or logic at all?

Li Li hasn't come for three days. The policeman sitting at the door either asks her if she has eaten or records what time she left the house, who she met, and what time she went to bed. Occasionally, you can hear him talking to Li Li on the phone to ask her how many times she went to the toilet today.

After a week, her voice recovered to about 60% to 70% and the doctor said she could be discharged from the hospital. Li Li packed up his things and drove her home. The two of them didn't say a word along the way.

Kong Zhixi thought about it for many days. Regarding her father, it seemed that at any point in time, her choice was to compete with him. She didn't know where her father was at the moment and whether he was looking for her. If it was her mother, she would probably be crying every day.

After taking a shower, Li Li made up his mind to talk to her about this game, about these cases, and about their marriage.

While Kong Zhixi opened the door of her cubicle, he inserted one leg to the corner of the door, blocking her from closing the door, and then sat on her bed. Kong Zhixi was horrified and took two steps back, shouting in her hoarse voice, "What are you doing?" She also covered her chest with both hands.

"Let's talk." He said calmly, patted the bed sheet next to him, and motioned for her to sit down.

Kong Zhixi refused to go into the house. She found a cushion, sat cross-legged at the door, and looked at him.

Li Li thought it was funny. If he really wanted to do something, could a door stop him? He held his forehead and smiled bitterly. Well, let's talk about it.

"What did you remember?"

"I remembered the marriage certificate, but that's all I have." Kong Zhixi was still a little wary and explained it again.

"Is that all?" Li Li felt that if it was just this, it should only take a moment.

"Well... there are some other things, for example, I am actually just a small policeman in the police station, you are the deputy captain of the criminal police detachment, and there are some... things in the past." Kong Zhixi also became serious and began to recall the past events she remembered.

"Then I've thought about more than you, such as some details of our married life." Li Lixiang wanted to analyze from these memory fragments why they appeared here and how to get out.

Kong Zhixi's guard, which had just been lowered, began to rise again. She looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you trying to trick me into submission? Do you think you deserve the clothes you're wearing?"

"...I'm not as desperate as you think. I just want to know what we can do to remember more." Li Li was speechless. After being together for such a long time, this guy still didn't believe him.

"Well...how would I know whether you are or not? Besides...didn't you...remember too much?" Kong Zhixi pulled a stool and sat down, thinking that it would at least be more convenient when running.

"So you only remembered these things when you were in the hospital?" He didn't want to explain to her something that was completely untrue.

"Ok!"

"So you remembered because you were injured and unconscious, and I remembered because of the physical contact with you," he analyzed.

"…Is it possible that you remembered the fragments related to me because of your contact with me?" She was also brought back to the main topic.
