Ruan Xiaojing's eyes were hazy, and Fang Zheng became more and more confused. "He never recommended anyone because no one wanted to go to the R&D department. Not everyone can do the work of the R&D department."

"Haven't you ever thought about going?" Fang Zheng asked.

Ruan Xiaojing shook her head. She smiled shakily and said incoherently, "I'm not interested - what you ordered is delicious -"

After that, she lay on her arms, closed her eyes, and continued to mutter in a dreamy voice: "R&D department, what are you doing there?"

"I knew you would get drunk." Fang Zheng looked at Ruan Xiaojing sleeping drunk, just like last time, gentle and calm, without any noise or noise.

Fang Zheng called the waiter to pay the bill, then carried Ruan Xiaojing back to the hotel. After putting her on the bed, he covered her with a blanket and prepared to leave.

Ruan Xiaojing suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his hand, "Fang Zheng——"

Fang Zheng retracted his hand and patted her shoulder gently, "Have a good rest."

Ruan Xiaojing stared at Fang Zheng, her eyes slightly tipsy but her expression serious, "I'm 28 years old, and this is the first time I've taken the initiative to like someone, and I like him very much..."

"You're still quite talkative even when you're drunk." Fang Zheng stood up, "Go to sleep. I'm going back to my room."

Wu Linxi took sick leave as she had had a fever for two days.

At her parents' house, the high fever did not make her feel irritable.

She lay on the bed with an indifferent expression, indifferent to everything around her, not looking at the web pages, not reading the news, not wanting to eat, and not wanting to work.

"What happened to her?" Yu Huanmei said to Wu Cheng anxiously, "She was like this a year and a half ago. She refused to eat, drink, sleep, or talk to anyone. It was hard for her to survive."

"What happened again?" Wu Chengye was also anxious. "I finally managed to save half of my life, and now I am going to suffer again..."

Yu Huanmei said, "I'll call Jiang Li and ask her to come and see me. Maybe a chat between two best friends will help them feel better."

After hearing about the situation, Jiang Li rushed to Wu Linxi's parents' home in a hurry, wearing a police uniform shirt and a police hat.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "Uncle and Auntie, I have to go back to work in a while, I'll come and see Lin Xi first."

"Sorry to bother you, Jiang Li. If Wu Linxi wasn't like this, I wouldn't have called you over and delayed your work." Yu Huanmei said.

"Auntie, why are you being so polite to me? Lin Xi's business is my business. Has anything happened to her recently?"

"No, she goes to get off work and comes home normally, nothing unusual. Zeng Yifan from their unit often picks her up and drops her off."

"I'll go in and take a look." Jiang Li said as he pushed open Wu Linxi's bedroom door.

Wu Linxi lay on the bed, looking pale and lifeless, staring out the window in a daze.

"Lin Xi, I'm here." Jiang Li called her.

Wu Linxi turned to look at Jiang Li and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you at work?"

"Didn't I hear that you were sick? I'll take some time to come and see you." Jiang Li said, reaching out to touch her forehead. "It's still a little hot. Have you taken medicine?"

Wu Linxi shook his head. "It's no use taking medicine. I won't take it anymore."

Jiang Li looked at Wu Linxi worriedly, "What's wrong? What happened? Tell me."

Wu Linxi still shook his head, looking pitiful, "I can't tell you, you're a policeman."

Jiang Li took a breath, "I am your childhood friend and your best friend."

Wu Linxi's eyes gradually filled with tears. She stood up and hugged Jiang Li, sobbing softly on her shoulder, "When your last hope is shattered, there is no hope anymore."
