The eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand catties, Zhong Yuncong struggled for a long time, and finally opened his eyes, but in the end, tears were almost shed by the bright incandescent lamp on top.

He quickly closed it again, and when his eyeballs were turning up and down, left and right, suddenly there was a voice from beside him: "He's awake!"

The voice that was so surprised that it broke quickly went away with the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhong Yun's heart skipped a beat: Did he lie down for a long time?

Before he could finish his thinking, the sound of footsteps suddenly came back again—this time it was a group of people in disorder.

Immediately afterwards, several human voices came together, and it was as noisy as seven or eight speakers blasting at his ears, and all of them were turned up to the maximum volume.

"Zhong Yuncong, you finally woke up!" "Are you all right?" "You've been lying down for a week, you're really worried about me!" "How do you feel now?"

Zhong Yuncong was so shocked that his eardrums buzzed, and if they continued to torture him like this, he felt that he might become deaf.

So he quickly opened his eyes, he hadn't opened them for a long time, and his vision was still a little blurry for a while, he looked around and saw several faces in a circle, looking down at him condescendingly, showing concern at the same time means.

He blinked again, and finally saw those people clearly—Feng Xiaoshan, Xiang Yu, "Poodle", Zhang Jibai, and Xiao Tao who didn't say a word.

Except for Zhang Jibai, everyone else looked nervous, and Zhong Yuncong felt warm from the bottom of his heart. He tried to smile with the corners of his mouth, but found that his facial muscles seemed to be disobedient, stiff as if he had been punched. One hundred injections of botox, and other sequelae were also long overdue—the bones in the whole body were almost falling apart, and every bone was aching.

Am I beaten a hundred times?Zhong Yuncong, who wanted to laugh but couldn't, thought blankly.

He moved his stiff neck, and the cervical spine creaked and rattled, like a mechanical part that hadn't been cared for for a long time, and the delay was unbelievable.

But now I can nod at least: "...it's okay, it's okay, don't worry, ah."

But his weak and haggard appearance coupled with his dry hoarse voice made his words very unconvincing.

Forget about the others, Feng Xiaoshan and Xiaotao, the two younger ones, their eye circles turned red all of a sudden, and they threw themselves on him as if they were discussing, Zhong Yuncong's frame that hadn't recovered from being crushed was painful, all the time His face immediately crumpled.

Zhang Jibai frowned: "Both of you, pay attention, he hasn't recovered yet."

This is absolutely true, Zhong Yuncong was lying on the hospital bed for several days, feeling very uncomfortable, but he shook his head at Zhang Jibai: "It's okay."

Then he raised his arms with difficulty, and hugged one with each hand. After he moved, he realized that there were still many infusion tubes connected to his arms. Fortunately, the movement was not large, and the needles were not pulled out.

"After I sent Ren Jie out, I came back and found that you were gone... I thought you were taken away by bad guys!"

Feng Xiaoshan was lying on his shoulder, sobbing and choking, Zhong Yun shook his head and scolded him: "I was the one who took the bad guy away... Are you a man? How old are you and you still cry like a little girl?" Like? You are only three years old, right?"

Feng Xiaoshan froze, then quickly stood up, turned his head, he didn't know whether it was embarrassment or anger: "Bah! Kindness is like a donkey's liver and lungs! I ignore you!"

Zhong Yuncong couldn't help but laugh, and after he finished laughing, he turned his face to look at the other one——this is a real little girl.

So when he cried, he looked much better than Feng Xiaoshan. Zhong Yuncong looked at Xiaotao who was about to cry. He didn't know what he had experienced during this period, and he lost a lot of weight. Basically, only a handful of bones remained in his whole body.

Although his body was not quite clean yet, all the skin injuries disappeared, whether it was a gunshot wound or a wound left by a foreign species, he could guess the reason when he saw Xiaotao's face with little blood left.

Her cheeks were sunken, and the tears in her eyes could not be shed. Zhong Yuncong felt distressed and sorry, and patted the girl's thin shoulder with his hand: "I'm sorry to trouble you again."

Xiaotao shook her head, and the teardrops flowed down her sunken cheeks. She sniffed and mumbled, "It's good that brother is fine."

He suddenly heard this long-lost address, and his heart became softer: "By the way, where is your family? Are they okay?"

A smile finally appeared on Xiaotao's pale and thin face: "Well, it's okay, the Administrative Bureau found a place to house us all...It's because my sister was frightened that day and gave birth prematurely..."

Zhong Yuncong turned pale with shock: "Is she all right?!"

The girl raised her head and glanced at Zhang Jibai gratefully: "Fortunately, Dr. Zhang is here, so there is no danger at all, mother and child are safe."

She pursed her lips and smiled, and the lingering melancholy between her brows faded a bit: "Now, I am also an aunt."

Zhong Yuncong was sincerely happy for her: "Great, Xiaotao, congratulations to you, and your sister."

Xiao Tao smiled, wiped away her tears, and picked up the water glass again: "Are you thirsty? May I help you with some water? The doctor said you can't eat now..."

He looked at the chattering little girl, smiled and said, "Okay, thank you."

She happily walked away holding the water glass, Zhong Yuncong looked at her back, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared.

She didn't want to say it before, but he learned from Lu Yuan not long ago that Lu Yuan, her, and her sister and brother are all products of the "Tree of Life" project.

A group of children forced to be born because of paranoia and selfish desires.

The "Tree of Life" fell suddenly, and these people were like scattered leaves, wandering around without a support.

From what she said just now, it should be the Management Bureau that is responsible for arranging them now, but will the Management Bureau continue to manage it?

He was full of thoughts, and his eyes were also a little gloomy. At this time, Zhang Jibai's voice slowly reached his ears: "That girl seems to be in front of you, so she looks happier."

Zhong Yun closed his eyes and changed his smile when he opened them again. His tone was full of complacency and narcissism: "That's right, I'm very likable! If you don't believe me, just ask me." Then who..."

Zhang Jibai raised his eyebrows inexplicably, and the carefree Xiang Yu scratched his head, but there was no response, only the petite "poodle", like a little dog who smelled of bones, The dog, the curly hair on the top of its head also flicked sensitively: "Ask who?"

"Cough cough! It's nothing...ah, the tree outside has sprouted, and spring is here!" Zhong Yuncong coughed dryly twice, wanting to hide it, telling him to stop talking about the train, otherwise, if anyone gets angry, The consequences can be severe.

And only then did he belatedly realize that the only person in the room who asked about his health was missing the one he wanted to see the most.

If the deity is not here, then he can't make waves either.

But "Poodle", who claims to be the No. [-] gossip lover in the Administration Bureau, is not so easy to dismiss. She sat down on the edge of the bed with her skirt in her hand, and then made a move that shocked Zhong Yuncong's jaw--she alone He leaned over, put his hands on both sides of his head, lowered his head, eye to eye, nose to nose, and performed a "bed thud" for him in broad daylight.

Zhong Yuncong was so frightened that his lips trembled: "Sister, sister...don't be like this...my health is not good...and, my heart belongs to you..."

"Tsk." "Poodle" has a domineering aura, and he smiled wildly, "When we found you and our boss that day, you two were stacked in this position... Why hasn't your sister seen it? Think Fool me, you are too tender."

Zhong Yuncong immediately wanted to dig a hole and bury himself - logically speaking, he is not a thin-skinned person. Back then, when his life was hanging by a thread, he could still confess to others with shamelessness, and even dared to force Let the other party give him an answer.

But at this moment, being teased by the "poodle" so personally, he blushed without warning, probably because so many people were pestering him, including cucumbers who didn't know farts, he was afraid of setting a good example for children. set a bad example.

But the main reason is the passage of time.

At that time, he was really worried that he would die, and once he died, he would never have another chance—so he said what he wanted to say, and kissed him if he wanted to.

After escaping from birth, he became embarrassed instead.

He is like this, and that one probably won't make much difference... So that's why he wasn't there?

Zhong Yuncong was thinking wildly, and the gossiping woman who hadn't opened his mouth was eager to break the casserole and ask the end, but Zhang Jibai's words immediately attracted her attention: "If you don't want to be dealt with by your team leader, just click on Let's stop."

Zhang Jibai took the initiative to speak for the first time, and the elated and flattered "poodle" immediately gave up other people's gossip, turned around, and got close to Dr. Zhang's side and became sticky.

The shame-faced Zhong Yuncong heaved a sigh of relief secretly. He originally wanted to ask a question, but he was annoyed by the "poodle" and could still look at him with a half-smile. After a face-to-face meeting with Bai, he immediately changed his target and asked Xiang Yu instead: "Well, are you busy in the bureau today?"

In front of so many people, he was embarrassed to ask too directly, and under normal circumstances, Xiang Yu's brain is not very fond of turning, he just answered whatever people asked, and he didn't even try to understand whether there was any deep meaning hidden between the lines. .

"It's okay, no, the puppy and I are taking turns off today, so I have time to see you."

Zhong Yuncong said indifferently: "Oh, then you really have a conscience."

Xiang Yu always felt that his words were weird, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, so he laughed: "It should be, after all, we will be colleagues in the future... Besides, the boss is also like this As you ordered, we are afraid that people from 'Shadow' will come to cause trouble, so let us keep an eye on it here."

Zhong Yuncong's ears were sharp, and he quickly grasped the point: "Did your team leader ask you to come?"

Before Xiang Yu could speak, he hugged Zhang Jibai's "poodle" and sighed faintly: "It's true, boss, it's fine if I guard you for so many days, but I still have to drag us together... You don’t know how to be considerate of your subordinates at all.”

Zhong Yuncong blinked: "He... has been with me all this time?"

"Poodle" let out a chuckle: "That's right, I can't straighten my waist and keep running towards you. If it wasn't for Dr. Zhang to take care of me, he would be laying on the floor here."

"What about today...?"

"Oh, unfortunately, he has something to do today. Who knew you woke up." The female security guard smiled ambiguously, "Oh, it's hard to take a vacation, and I still want to sleep~ But I was forced to come to the hospital to smell and disinfect The smell of water."

Zhong Yuncong also laughed, and replied with a pun: "You can't say that~ Hospitals have disinfectant, but they also have doctors."

"This is indeed a worthwhile trip~" "Poodle" winked at Zhang Jibai, and the latter's eyes flew over coolly, Zhong Yuncong shivered, and hurriedly took the quilt Covered his head.

It just so happened that Xiaotao came back with a water glass, seeing the person who was completely huddled under the quilt, she couldn't help being stunned: "Brother fell asleep?"

Feng Xiaoshan, who was watching the excitement, was just about to tell the girl the embarrassing thing just now, but was stopped by Zhang Jibai. Not only that, but also everyone else was told by him, "The patient needs to rest, you go out first and don't disturb him to rest." The reason was kicked out.

Ever since, he and the patient himself were left in the ward.

"Okay, there's no one else, come out and get some air, don't suffocate yourself."

Zhong Yuncong poked out half of his head hesitantly, and Zhang Jibai put his hands in the pockets of his coat. Only then did he notice that the other party was not wearing his usual white coat. He was a little surprised, and found that the decoration of the ward seemed a bit strange familiar.

"This is... Jishi Hospital?" He changed his face slightly. The current Jishi Hospital is the same as the Salesian Hospital, and there is always a strange feeling when it is mentioned.

Zhang Jibai knew what he was thinking, and explained with a calm expression: "You have a bullet stuck in your lung, my small clinic is not convenient for such a big operation, so I sent you to a big hospital."

"Jishi Hospital...do you want to keep it?"

"Otherwise?" Zhang Jibai asked back, "It is the largest hospital in the 'isolated island' with the best conditions. Even if the purpose of the establishment is not pure and the founder is not innocent, it has indeed played a great role over the years. .”

Zhong Yun was speechless.

"Don't worry, it has been fully taken over by the Comprehensive Management Bureau. After the 'Shadow' kidnapping incident, additional manpower has been deployed here, patrolling day and night, and it is still safe."

Zhong Yuncong's face was still serious, he thought of a name - "Where is that woman named Zhu Ci?"

The woman who founded the Jishi Hospital and the Salesian Home is also one of the promoters of the "Tree of Life" project.

How is she?

Zhang Jibai's expression became a little subtle: "Before Zhu Ci was caught, he committed suicide in fear of crime."

Zhong Yuncong was dumbfounded.

"Su Xian went to the headquarters of the Management Bureau today to report this matter." Zhang Jibai sighed, "Perhaps, there are still some doubts that I want to solve."
