If you don't get slapped in the face, you will be "slapped"

Jinyang Military Region Hospital.

VIP Ward No. [-].

Huo Long put the peeled pear in his hand on the fruit plate: "Ziling, I have surgery in the morning, and I will come to see you after get off work in the evening."

"Hmm..." Wang Ziling withdrew his gaze from the window and replied softly.

"Also... if you can't completely heal this time... then you won't be able to recover and you won't be able to hold the scalpel again. Ziling, you have to know the seriousness of the matter, promise me, and rest in the hospital with peace of mind, okay?"

Wang Ziling's air-conditioning seemed to dissipate in front of Huo Long, he nodded meekly: "I will, thank you."

Huo Long was so heartbroken and itchy by Ziling like this, he took his good left hand and kissed it: "I'm leaving Ziling, take good care of yourself." After speaking, he walked out of the ward step by step.

The second after Huo Long closed the door, Wang Ziling got up and went straight to the bathroom. When he came out, he picked up the plump and translucent pear with his watery hand and threw it into the trash can.

Pears are not one of the fruits that Wang Ziling hates the most.

@～

a few days later.

Wang Ziling was sitting on the sofa in the ward reading a book, when the phone rang, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.

"Ma'am, the matter has been settled," said Ergou on the opposite side, "Qin Rong really fired that bodyguard, and let him pack up and leave without paying a penny. We bought him and him without much effort." Companion, as long as the madam orders, she can give her medicine at any time."

"..." Wang Ziling tightly held the phone, and after a moment of silence he said, "Wait a little longer."

After all, he was Lin Yan's only relative in this world, so he still hesitated at this moment.

Two in the afternoon.

Wang Ziling, who had finished his lunch under the care of the nurse, was taking a nap when there was a knock on the door.

The auntie of the nurse took the initiative to open the door when she saw that the employer was asleep.

"Excuse me, is brother Ziling in this ward?" Wang Yi asked nervously when he saw that it was an old aunt who opened the door.

"Yes, but sir, he is asleep."

"Well, thank you, auntie, then I'll wait here for him to wake up." Wang Yiyi heaved a sigh of relief, as long as she found the right place, she didn't dare to approach the two tall men standing outside the door at first. , Fortunately, they neither asked nor stopped themselves from knocking on the door.She carried a bunch of blue baby's breath stars in one hand and a cardboard box into the house in the other.

During the period, she found a vase and put the baby's breath on the bedside of Wang Ziling, and helped her aunt clean the room when she had nothing to do.After more than an hour like this, Wang Ziling woke up.

"One by one?" He was a little surprised.

"Brother Ziling, you're awake!" Wang Yiyi, who was playing with his mobile phone, quickly got up from the sofa and walked to the bed, calling softly, "Brother Ziling..."

"Well, when did Yiyi go back to Jinyang?" Wang Ziling sat up from the bed and asked kindly, the negative emotions in him finally stopped making trouble when facing Wang Yiyi.

"The day before... the day before yesterday."

Wang Ziling knew why the lively little girl in the past was so shy and restless now. The day before yesterday was the day he announced the news to the outside world.

"Brother Ziling, I saw the notice issued by the Jinyang Police Station on the Internet, saying that the handsome boss is, he..." Wang Yi had a sore nose and couldn't continue.But she immediately regretted and said guiltily, "I'm sorry Brother Ziling, I shouldn't have mentioned this in front of you." Brother Ziling must have been ten thousand times more sad than herself, why did you come to expose his scars? I'm so stupid.

"It's okay..." Wang Ziling pulled her and let her sit on the bed, "I'm very happy that Yiyi came to see me." For him who has lost everything, Wang Yiyi is probably his only consolation now .

"Hmm..." Oh my god, Ziling, who is so nice and gentle, came to comfort himself even though he was sad.Why should two people who love each other be separated forever like this? It's so unfair and cruel!She just sat down and stood up abruptly, wiped the corners of her eyes and said quickly, "Brother Ziling, I have something to do, I will come to see you tomorrow." When I sort out my emotions tomorrow, I will definitely come here happily to make Brother Ziling happy !As she spoke, she picked up the box on the table and handed it to Wang Ziling, "And brother Ziling, this is what my father asked me to hand over to you."

"You... Dad?" Wang Ziling didn't react for a while.

"Well, it's that old man Wang Kai!" She sniffed.

"..."

"Then, I'll go, Brother Ziling first." Wang Yiyi, who was about to hold back his tears, left in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Ziling's entire mind was attracted by the square paper box in front of him.The edge of the carton is a little worn and faded, and it looks old. The volume is only about enough to hold a basketball.

He put his hand on the lid of the box and his heart beat a little faster. After 2 minutes, he gently opened the box.

What catches the eye is a white note that reads:

This is what Lin Yan kept with me ten years ago, saying that if one day he dies before you, let me hand it over to you.Now I'm giving it to you, if you want to take it, you can take it, if you don't want it, just throw it away.

——Wang Kai.

Wang Ziling put the note aside, held his breath casually, and took out the items in the box one by one.

A broken ruler, half a pencil, a small piece of eraser, all the old stationery that can be thrown away.In an exercise book, the word 'Prince' was twisted and twisted with a pencil on the name column. He flipped through it, and the pages were filled with twisted and immature Arabic numerals like bugs.

"Hoo~" Wang Ziling breathed out the breath he had held for a long time, picked up two photos in the box, one was a group photo of the kindergarten class, and there was a beautiful Chinese character on the back, which read: 2022, Winter, Big Five Class New Year's Party.The other is a group photo of two little boys alone. He can be sure that one of the boys is himself as a child, and the other... Wang Ziling looked at the chubby little chubby in the photo, and a certain idea was about to come out. He probably still remembered this What is the boy's name Qin...and Lin Yan's mother...is named Qin.

As well as those stationery and homework books he used in kindergarten, you must know that when Wang Ziling was a soft and cute little lady, he hated the third word of his name very much, it was difficult to write and a mouthful, so he cleverly ignored it , has always regarded himself as a 'prince'.

So, Lin Yan... is that little chubby who always loved to follow him back then?

The stunned Wang Ziling came back to his senses and found that his hands were trembling slightly. He put down the photo again and looked at the paper box.

There are still a few small red flowers scattered around, and a brightly colored children's fairy tale book that is still intact despite nearly 30 years of baptism on the bottom of the box.

Wang Ziling carefully took out this fairy tale book called "The Happy Prince", and he stroked the golden statue of the prince on the cover with his hand, as well as the cute little swallow flying around the prince and screaming happily.

"The Happy Prince" was Wang Ziling's favorite fairy tale when he was a child. Even though he was not very literate, he begged his mother to read it to him every day before going to bed, and even hugged the book before falling asleep. It's almost to the point where I can't put it down and become obsessed.

As for why he likes it so much, it is because he is naive and unswervingly believes that the prince in the fairy tale book is himself.The most secondary period of Wang Ziling's life was probably concentrated in that time.

Thinking of the stupid things in his childhood, Wang Ziling couldn't help but shook his head, opened the fairy tale book, and wrote on the title page with beautiful colored pens——

Wang Ziling's expression was stunned, and his thoughts followed the memory back to the spring of 2023.
