The torrential rain lasted all night, and by the time Qiao Hao went to work the next morning, it had turned into light rain.

Qiao Hao had an outpatient clinic in the morning. Because of the weather and his mood, he was not in the mood for cycling all the way.

However, when parking at the hospital, he saw two police cars parked behind the inpatient building.

In fact, it is not uncommon for police cars to appear in the hospital. Fights, victims of homicides, medical disturbances, beaten medical staff... may all cause the police to be dispatched, but this time, Qiao Hao felt a little uneasy.

So he took another look at the police car.

It was because of this glance that he saw a hospital bed pushed out from the back door of the inpatient building, with a blue body bag glaringly placed on it.And at the back of the cart, the policeman supported the woman who came out together, which surprised Qiao Hao.

The woman was none other than the bald mother.

Qiao Hao's eyes widened. He tore off his raincoat and hurriedly took out his cell phone from his pocket.

Shi Dongdong's phone rang a few times before being picked up, but the person on the other end of the phone was not Shi Dongdong.

"Doctor Qiao, this is Chen Zhi." Chen Zhi answered the phone in a low voice.

"Why is it you? Where's Dongdong? What's the matter with him?" Qiao Hao asked anxiously.

"Just about to call you, are you in the hospital? Could you please come to the fourteenth floor?"

"I just got downstairs and saw a police car. What's the matter? Is Dongdong okay?" Qiao Hao said, feeling a little flustered, and the thoughts in his mind were turned away in an instant. Corpse, death, bald mother, police……

"The patient in the same ward committed suicide. So Dongdong, his condition is not very good." Chen Zhiyin sighed.

Qiao Hao's heart sank when he heard that, it really was like that.

"I'll be over right away, but I need to ask Corey for a leave of absence. There was an outpatient clinic this morning." Qiao Hao rushed towards the inpatient building as he said.

"Come up directly. Mr. Shi has already asked someone to say hello to you. I'm sorry, Dr. Qiao, the incident happened suddenly." Chen Zhi's emotions were restrained, but at this moment, his words were also full of anxiety.

Qiao Hao didn't want to say much, and went straight up to the fourteenth floor.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Qiao Hao found that the scene outside was different from usual.Several police officers were taking notes on the nurses and doctors in the corridor. Shi Dongdong's ward was cordoned off. He was about to walk over when someone called out to stop him.

"Doctor Qiao, over here." It was Chen Zhi who spoke.

Under Chen Zhi's guidance, Qiao Hao was taken to a single ward on the other side of the corridor.At the door, he saw Shi Chongshan was there, with his arms folded and a serious expression on his face, he didn't even realize his arrival.

But Qiao Hao didn't care about these, he just hoped to see the person he wanted to see as soon as possible.

Finally, the door of the ward was opened, and Qiao Hao saw Shi Dongdong curled up on the bed.

He was wrapped in a blanket by himself, as if he was very cold, and his already thin body was tightly shrunk into a ball.

Qiao Hao's heart ached, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he rushed over and hugged him.

"Dongdong, here I come."

The person in his arms was indeed trembling, and it took a long time before he slowly raised his head.His face was pale, and he looked at Qiao Hao with a little daze, as if he had thought for a long time before he recognized him, his lips moved a few times, but he didn't call out Qiao Hao's name.

"I'm sorry, Dongdong, I'm sorry..." Qiao Hao closed his eyes, unwilling to let go of his hands. He didn't know why he wanted to apologize, but when he saw Shi Dongdong like this, he just wanted to say sorry.

"Yuan Gang committed suicide. I called him in the morning, but he didn't move at all." Shi Dongdong's voice came from Qiao Hao's chest, so soft that he needed to listen hard.

"I see." Qiao Hao could only pat him on the back with his hands, like coaxing a child.

Qiao Hao thought that Shi Dongdong must have been terrified, and he himself couldn't help being annoyed. The bald head behaved so abnormally yesterday, he kept talking to himself by the window sill, but he didn't see any clues. Otherwise, he could at least remind him his mother.

"I didn't expect him to be like this..." Shi Dongdong said again, slowly breaking away from Qiao Hao's arms, pulling the blanket around him tighter.

"He's freed, and he won't be in so much pain anymore. This is his choice, we just need to respect it." Qiao Hao tried his best to say comforting words, while reaching out to pull Shi Dongdong's blanket down, he didn't know that he was like this How long have you wrapped yourself up.

But Qiao Hao's actions aroused Shi Dongdong's resistance. He grabbed the blanket on his body like grabbing a life-saving straw, and desperately pulled it towards his neck.

Qiao Hao had no choice but to exert more force on his hands.He understood that Shi Dongdong was like a person caught in a nightmare at this moment, and he would never wake up unless he was pulled out of the fear.

"No!" Shi Dongdong screamed, but in the end, Qiao Hao pulled the blanket away.

Qiao Hao was startled by the scene in front of him. Shi Dongdong's hospital gown was stained with blood. The dark red blood seemed to have not dried completely, and it was sticky and greasy, exuding a bloody smell, reflected in the light blue It looked shocking on the hospital gown.

"Are you injured?" Qiao Hao hurriedly checked Shi Dongdong's body, turned over his collar and sleeves, fearing that the blood was seeping from his body.

Shi Dongdong still resisted, holding his head in his hands and shaking, "No, it's not mine...it's Yuan Gang's, Yuan Gang's blood!"

Qiao Hao's heart relaxed a little, but Shi Dongdong's appearance forced him to pull him into his arms again.

"Tell me, what exactly did you see, and you won't be afraid if you tell it, okay?" Qiao Hao hugged Shi Dongdong tightly, trying to stop his violent movements, and at the same time enlightened him softly, hoping that he could escape from the nightmare .

"I woke up with a headache in the middle of the night and wanted to get some painkillers... turned on the light and saw blood all over the ground, it was all there. I called his name and no one answered me... I wanted to get out of bed but my feet were limp After a while...the ground was covered with his blood, and so was his bed, I pushed him and called him, but he didn't respond at all...then I saw his neck..." Shi Dongdong said, closing his eyes and hugging him. He buried his face in the hands that covered his head.

"I got it, I got it!" Qiao Hao nodded vigorously, only regretting that he was not by Shi Dongdong's side at that time.

"Why did he do this? Why?..." Shi Dongdong asked with a muffled head, and his body also trembled.

"Dongdong, let's stop thinking about him, shall we?"

Qiao Hao couldn't answer his question, so he could only stop him from thinking with weak words.But obviously, that didn't work.

Shi Dongdong seemed to remember those terrible scenes more clearly. He was imprisoned in Qiao Hao's arms almost emotionally collapsed. He still shook his head and his body trembled violently. Biting his lips to bleed.

Just for a moment, without even thinking about it, Qiao Hao raised the man's face and kissed it.

His lips heavily covered Shi Dongdong's mouth, and his tongue desperately stuck out, forcing him to open his clenched teeth.When Shi Dongdong's warm breath came, Qiao Hao felt his whole body tremble, and he couldn't help closing his eyes, as if there was only each other left in the world.He gently pushed his tongue in, and gently wrapped it around Shi Dongdong's slightly cool tongue, sucking continuously and soothing slowly.

It was a deep kiss that Qiao Hao had never had in his life. The person in his arms gradually stopped trembling, and quietly let Qiao Hao ask for it, so that Qiao Hao almost forgot why he started such a kiss.There was no sound around, he could only hear each other's gradually heavy breathing, the wet and lingering feeling made him greedily hope that such moments would never stop.

"Hmm..." After a long time, Shi Dongdong finally let out a muffled snort.

Qiao Hao let go of him like someone who had just woken up.

Shi Dongdong's lips were moist red, his brows were still furrowed, but his body had already relaxed, not as hysterically tense as before.But he also seemed extremely tired, grabbing Qiao Hao's clothes with both hands, panting slightly.

"Is it better?" Qiao Hao supported him and asked.

Shi Dongdong pressed the back of his hand on his lips, turned his head away.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Qiao Hao was a little embarrassed for a moment. His emotions this morning were ups and downs like a roller coaster, and now he really couldn't figure out what Shi Dongdong was thinking.

So, he could only say, "Change out your clothes first, take a nap and rest, okay? When you wake up, everything will pass."

Shi Dongdong looked up at Qiao Hao. He didn't speak, but his eyes seemed to be asking Qiao Hao for confirmation. Is that so?

Qiao Hao nodded happily, then got up, "I'll get you a set of clean clothes."

But Shi Dongdong grabbed him, "Don't go."

"If I don't leave, I'll just tell them at the door, I won't go to work today, I'll be with you." Qiao Hao's heart warmed up, and his voice softened a bit.

Shi Dongdong finally stopped talking. He lowered his head and stared blankly at the blood on his clothes.

When the new hospital gown was brought, Shi Dongdong had already calmed down completely.

He meekly let Qiao Hao change his clothes, because he was so tired that he almost fell asleep with his eyes closed while wiping himself.But when Qiao Hao supported his neck and made him lie down slowly, he opened his eyes again.

"Qiao Hao, I feel very sad..." This time, his voice was full of fragility.

Qiao Hao had no choice but to hold his hand tightly and forcefully.

"Last night, he borrowed a pencil from me, saying that he wanted to write something... I didn't think too much about it, so I lent it to him, and then he said that the pen was blunt... So," Shi Dongdong said, choked up, " So the knife he used was the pencil sharpener I lent him... I really didn't expect that I would hurt him."

"It's not your fault. If he makes up his mind to leave, nothing can keep him. I have met his mother several times, and she told me that Yuan Gang is in the terminal stage of cancer, and his time is numbered." , Walking like this may be easier for him. So, you didn't harm him, maybe in his view, you helped him." Qiao Hao gently stroked Shi Dongdong's forehead beside Shi Dongdong's bed .

"Helped him?" Shi Dongdong twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled with difficulty.

"Yes, you have to think about it, he is free now, using the method he chooses." Although he shouldn't scare you like this, Qiao Hao said in his heart.

"Is that so..." Shi Dongdong sighed blankly, as if he couldn't think anymore.

Qiao Hao watched Shi Dongdong fall asleep by the bed. The man was so tired that he seemed to have gone through a fierce battle for several days and nights. When his eyelids fell, he just blinked a few times, slowly turned his head to the side, and then evenly The sound of breathing came over.Qiao Hao was still a little dazed, and couldn't take his eyes off his lips. The kiss just now seemed like a dream, and he regretted that he didn't open his eyes.

If you open your eyes, will you be more confident at this time?

Behind him, the door of the ward was slowly pushed open, and the sound of Shi Chongshan walking in finally brought Qiao Hao back to his senses.

"Sorry, I knocked on the door a few times and there was no response, so I came in by myself." Standing in front of Qiao Hao, Shi Chongshan was standing in front of Qiao Hao with a cane on his back. His eyes were complicated that Qiao Hao couldn't understand. He looked at his sleeping son on the hospital bed. , looked at Qiao Hao again, "I want to talk to you."
