"4658"

"4659"

"4660"

"4700"

......

"5958"

"5959"

"6000"

After reading this number, Bai Xunhua's left middle finger stretched out flat, along with his ring finger and little finger, stretched out side by side, forming the number "Ⅲ".

In such a closed space without a clock, the passage of time becomes extremely slow, and Bai Xunhua can only rely on silent counting to keep time.

......

"5959"

"6000"

Bai Xunhua released his bent index finger.

......

"5959"

"6000"

Bai Xunhua stretched his thumb slightly.

It has been 5 hours since we left Baijimo.

During this time no one showed up.Pale light fell from overhead, and Bai Xunhua's pale face was hidden in the darkness under the light, like an abandoned waste product.She sat on the operating chair withered, guarding a room full of cold glassware and complicated precision equipment, and fell into dead silence with the laboratory.

"call."

There was a faint sound, like a mayfly flapping its wings.

Bai Xunhua's chapped lips moved slightly, she knew she had to rest.Lying motionless on the operating chair like this, and concentrating on timekeeping, the physical and psychological pressure has reached its limit.

But once the timing is stopped, it means that the only thing that limits the control is lost.Psychologically, there is bound to be an irrepressible sense of panic.

After weighing the pros and cons between timing and rest, Bai Xunhua resisted the desire to lick his chapped lips, closed his eyes, relaxed his body and tried to fall asleep.

"Drip, drip, drip."

The safety door suddenly screamed, the indicator light flashed green, and then the door lock opened, and the heavy safety door slid silently to the side.

Bai Jimo walked in.

A solid color casual shirt, a pullover sweater outside, skinny jeans, a pair of Velcro white sneakers on the feet, holding a tray with some French fries and burgers on it.He is like the rich third or fourth generation working in fast food restaurants.

Bai Jimo's state was as calm as his steps.There is no eagerness and anxiety of the first generation to make money, no confusion and domineering of the second generation to get rich, and no depression and depression of the later decline.

Everything is just right.

Bai Xunhua raised his eyes, and there was a clear light in the deep pupils.She looked at Bai Jimo silently and calmly, like an interviewer examining an applicant.

At this moment, Bai Jimo and Bai Xunhua felt so deeply——

They are so much alike.

"Sister." Bai Jimo put the tray on the medical cart, bent down and uncuffed Bai Xunhua, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

While speaking, Bai Jimo opened the handcuffs and ankle rings.

The two looked at each other for a second, and Bai Xunhua got up and walked to the bathroom.When she came out, Bai Jimo was sitting on the operating chair squeezing ketchup, and seeing her greeted cheerfully: "Eat the French fries while they are still hot."

Bai Xunhua walked over to pick up a French fries, took a bite and chewed carefully, "It tastes good."

"Of course, Idaho is the hometown of potatoes. It's wise that you didn't waste your time in the bathroom." Bai Jimo said in a very casual tone, the French fries in his hands were covered with ketchup, "Americans call this kind of light-skinned potatoes yukongold, probably because it's buff. Well, you don't like ketchup?"

Bai Xunhua picked up another French fries: "When I was a child, French fries were a luxury food. I would eat French fries and ketchup separately."

"I'll bring you Russet tomorrow." Bai Jimo picked up corn chips and dipped them in Mexican meat sauce, and put them in his mouth, "Russet is the most common type of rough-skinned potato in the United States. It is easy to form a crispy shell after frying. Roughly chopped Russet is used You must try the duck fried in fat and sprinkled with truffle salt.”

Bai Xunhua smiled slightly: "I want to taste the taste of freedom."

Bai Jimo smiled when he heard the words, and pointed to the small fortune cookie box on the tray: "A fortune cookie?"

The gluttonous bean-shaped fortune cookie is very popular in the United States. A small note will be wrapped inside the cookie to predict your future fortune.

Bai Xunhua picked up the top one and opened it, and there was another note inside.She picked up the little note, only to see that it read - "changeiscoming".

The turnaround is approaching.

Bai Jimo saw it and only smiled slightly.He reached out and took a fortune cookie from the cookie box, and opened it to reveal the same "changeiscoming".

Through the light, this string of letters came into Bai Xunhua's eyes.The fine eyelashes trembled slightly, she lowered her eyes and folded the note in her hand and put it in the coat pocket.

Bai Jimo raised his eyebrows, picked up the cheese and beef sandwich, and ate it seriously, bite by bite.

After waiting for the food to eat, Bai Jimo stood up from the operating chair and made a gesture of invitation.Bai Xunhua calmly sat up, putting his hands on the armrests.

Bai Jimo bent down to tie the handcuffs and anklets for her, picked up the tray and left gracefully.

In the next few days, Bai Jimo went in and out irregularly. Besides drawing blood to ensure the normal functioning of Bai Xunhua's life, the food also changed from high-calorie fast food to nutritious meal.But even so, Bai Xunhua's condition still declined rapidly.

Her eyes were still sharp and clear, but exhaustion was also written on her face.

Bai Jimo put down the lunch box, unshackled Bai Xunhua, and asked with concern: "Sister, what brand of skin care products do you usually use?"

Bai Xunhua pushed away the blanket on his body and walked into the bathroom.

A blurry figure was reflected on the cold white tiles, the running water splashed against the sink, and the slender fingers got some water droplets on their face.

The lid of the food box was slowly rotated, and thin fingers clasped the edge to uncover it.In an instant, white smoke rose and the aroma was tangy.Assorted mushrooms, grilled venison, and fish soup stewed with milk are placed on the experimental table one by one.

Bai Jimo gestured with sandalwood chopsticks, and Bai Xunhua came out from the bathroom.

Her temples were slightly damp, and there were still wet spots on her pale skin. The tiredness between her brows and eyes disappeared as soon as Bai Jimo turned her head to look at her.

Bai Jimo looked away, and put the sandalwood chopsticks on the Jinxiu Wugu rice.The chopsticks made a clear sound when they touched the edge of the small porcelain bowl.

"clang."

"Let's eat." Bai Jimo stepped aside, revealing the delicious food on the experimental table.

Bai Xunhua raised his left arm, stretched out his right hand to untie the cuff of his shirt: "First draw blood."

Bai Jimo moved his lips, and swallowed the words of refusal.He followed Bai Xunhua to the operating chair, and took out a pack of syringes from the medical cart.

Wiping tincture of iodine, tying the rubber band, pulling out the needle protective cap... Neither of the two spoke, and everything was done quietly.As in a routine ritual, the participants variously follow each other's orders and cooperate to complete the task.

The needle was pulled out from the flesh, and Bai Xunhua's lower jaw was lifted up.The light from the incandescent lamp above her head fell on the bruises under her eyes, illuminating the veins on her neck.

Bai Jimo's pupils shrank, and he made up his mind.

The author has something to say: I am back, this month is very busy, sorry ONL
