You who walk against the light

Several people talked nonsense for a while, the atmosphere was very relaxed, no one specifically mentioned Zhong Ziming's surgery.

Zhong Ziming knew that they were a group of friends who could make friends with each other.

Not long after, Feng Cong saw something through the glass window, and his face darkened. He pointed in the direction of the door, his cheeks tightened, "Is that the grandson? Huh?"

Guo Jichuan followed his line of sight and saw a person similar in stature to Zhong Ziming.

Guo Jichuan hurriedly stopped him, "Old Feng, what are you doing?"

Feng Cong's face was livid, his breathing became short of breath, and he glanced at Zhong Ziming, "I don't even want to let you drink a drop of wine, he is fine! Dare to push you!" He stepped forward, "Zi Ming, you wait for me, Dude let this out for you."

There was a flash of pain in Zhong Ziming's eyes, and he sat silently on the head of the bed.

Just as he was talking, Tian Xin walked in. Seeing Feng Cong approaching menacingly, he immediately became vigilant, "What are you going to do?"

"Get out of the way!" Feng Cong said angrily.

Tian Xin stood still, her tone was calm, "What are you doing? You don't think it's messy enough, do you?"

Feng Cong turned his head and glanced at Zhong Ziming. Seeing his gloomy complexion, he felt more and more uncomfortable. Thinking of his poor health, Feng Cong panted heavily, "Ziming, you can say it yourself."

There was some silence in the ward.

After a long time, Zhong Ziming said hoarsely, "Forget it."

Feng Cong got angry, pointed at his nose, wanted to say something, held back, and just said: "No prospect!"

Min Changping took everything seriously, and quietly asked Tian Xin, "Is that Zhong Kaifan?"

Tian Xin nodded, his voice was very soft, "Well, he didn't intend to come in, he was going to leave after drinking soup with Auntie."

Guo Jichuan looked at Zhong Ziming, only to see that his face was pale, and he no longer showed the aura of deep hatred. It seemed that it would be good for the two brothers to quarrel, so as to save them from worrying every day.

If Zhong Ziming hadn't been ill, Feng Cong would have cursed again.

Seeing that it was getting late, Min Changping suggested: "Okay, let's go back first, and you have a good rest."

Guo Jichuan patted Feng Cong on the shoulder, and comforted him: "You have to pick a time to beat him up, don't you? When Ziming is ready, let's settle the score with his brother." In fact, Guo Jichuan knew in his heart that Zhong Ziming still felt that Zhong Kaifan was him. Brother, otherwise he wouldn't be merciful to Lin Yuan's subordinates.It's just because the two of them have had a grudge for a long time, and there is no way to shake hands and make peace. It is better to be so lukewarm than to be in a hurry.

Tian Xin breathed a sigh of relief, and walked slowly.She came in just now because she was afraid that Feng Cong and the others would bump into Zhong Kaifan and wanted them to stagger.Fortunately, Zhong Kaifan didn't plan to stay for a long time. He drank soup with Amei and asked about Zhong Ziming's situation.

Zhong Kaifan was irritated to the extreme by Zhong Ziming at that time, and the two had a quarrel, but knowing that Zhong Ziming was his younger brother, he still came to the hospital.Tian Xin could see clearly that the two brothers were equally stubborn, and neither of them wanted to bow their heads.

The doctor had already discussed the risks of the operation with Amei and Tian Xin. No matter what, there was no longer any delay. Before that, Zhong Ziming planned to take his mother to Europe for a while, and then he would consider undergoing surgery after returning.Now it seems that the travel plan has to be postponed, and the most important thing is to actively cooperate with the doctor's order.

It was only after eight o'clock when Zhong Kaifan left the hospital. When he drove to a secluded place, the car pulled over. He called Aunt Song, talked about Lin Yuan's recent situation, and asked her whether it would be convenient for her to go to Shanghai with him tomorrow, and about life matters. He will settle down.

Song Wangshu said: "Okay, I wanted to visit A ​​Yuan before, and he told me last time that I'm still worried about coming back after he's done."

Zhong Kaifan said calmly, "Alright then, I will pick you up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Kaifan was very preoccupied. He was wondering why Lin Yuan reacted so violently. As An Ran said, threatening delivery is common in the entertainment industry. Although this kind of behavior is wrong, Lin Yuan would not be so frightened.

Thinking of this, Zhong Kaifan was a little worried.

The next day, Zhong Kaifan and Song Wangshu arrived in Shanghai smoothly, accompanied by Duan Qi.

Originally, Zhong Kaifan didn't want to occupy Duan Qi's weekend time.

In the meantime, after knowing the reason, Duan Qi insisted: "It's okay, I'll go, and I can still talk to Aunt Song."

After arriving in Shanghai, Zhong Kaifan drove the car himself, let Duan Qi and Aunt Song sit in the back seat, and the journey was smooth.

Not long after, the car stopped downstairs in the community where Lin Yuan lived.

Considering Lin Yuan's special situation, Zhong Kaifan said to Aunt Song: "Auntie, you stay in the car for a while, I'll go up to see A Yuan, you can come up later."

Zhong Kaifan had seen Lin Yuan lose control of his emotions before Auntie Song recuperated. He was afraid that Auntie Song would not be able to bear it, so he would let their mother and son meet again after he calmed Lin Yuan down.

"Okay." Song Wangshu clenched his hands, a little uneasy.

Duan Qi comforted from the side: "Auntie, don't worry, Zhong will always take care of it."

"Hey." Song Wangshu nodded.

After explaining, Zhong Kaifan got out of the car and walked steadily towards Lin Yuan's house.

Lin Yuan gave him a key last time, but it came in handy today, Zhong Kaifan directly used the key to open the door.As soon as he entered the entrance, Zhong Kaifan found two people sitting in the living room, they were Li Meng and Chen Nan.

Zhong Kaifan asked, "Where's Lin Yuan?"

Li Meng turned pale, and pointed in the direction of the master bedroom, "It's inside."

Zhong Kaifan had a keen sense of smell, the tip of his nose moved, and he frowned and said, "What's the smell?"

"The smell of rotting corpses." Chen Nan sat on the sofa with a cold face.

Zhong Kaifan's heart skipped a beat, and Li Meng quickly explained: "It's the express box."

Zhong Kaifan walked towards the master bedroom, noticed the blood on the crack of the door, and turned to look at Li Meng.

Li Meng said: "The other places have been cleaned, and he has not allowed anyone to enter the master bedroom. It has been almost two days." She held her breath, "He occasionally answers when we knock on the door, but he just doesn't come out."

Zhong Kaifan closed his eyes and asked, "Do you have a spare key for the master bedroom at home?"

"Yes," Li Meng paused, "but I went in yesterday, and he was very emotional. I was afraid that he would be stimulated, so I came out."

Chen Nan's voice came from not far away, "As I want, get that thing out quickly, otherwise the neighbors will have to call the police if they smell this smell." She thought for a while, and then said: "Originally, this Threats should call the police.”

Zhong Kaifan said to Li Meng: "Go and get the key, I'll go in and have a look." Then, he looked at Chen Nan, "How are you doing?"

Chen Nan glanced at Zhong Kaifan, "Fortunately, I'm just worried that Li Meng can't handle it alone."

Li Meng quickly handed over the key.

Zhong Kaifan's voice was very soft: "Okay, you go to the side and stay."

Just as Li Meng was about to say something, the phone in her pocket vibrated. It was Sister An Ran, "I'll answer the call first."

Zhong Kaifan didn't rush to open the door with the key, but knocked first, "A Yuan, it's me, are you inside?"

There was no sound in the room, Zhong Kaifan knocked on the door again, "If you don't speak, then I will come in?"

The sound of the keyhole bullet was crisp, and the door made a dull sound. Zhong Kaifan slowly pushed the door open.The lights in the room were not turned on, the curtains were drawn down, the midday sun shone on the curtains, the whole room was filled with dimness, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and decay.

When Zhong Kaifan was studying medicine, he often had to take anatomy classes. There were many classes in the school where experiments were done on mice. He was very familiar with this smell.And because of his internship experience, Zhong Kaifan saw a lot of birth, old age, sickness and death in the hospital.

If it was just to intimidate the courier, Zhong Kaifan was calmer than ordinary people when he saw animals being tortured and killed.

Taking a closer look, Lin Yuan was sitting in a corner near the closet, with his left leg straight and the other leg bent, with a cardboard box on his lap.He was wearing a white round-neck sweater, and there were bloodstains mottled in front of him.

Zhong Kaifan stood still at the door and called him, "Ayuan?"

After a long time, Lin Yuan came back to his senses, his side face was fair, his eyes were empty, his whole figure was like a gray bead, the light was cloudy.

Sensing that he didn't have strong emotions, Zhong Kaifan walked closer to him, squatted in front of him and asked, "Ayuan, why don't you come out."

Lin Yuan stared blankly at Zhong Kaifan, as if he didn't know him, he raised his neck, his gaze

Staying on the curtain, did not speak.

Zhong Kaifan saw the square carton clearly. The outer packaging was very ordinary. The place near the bottom of the box was soaked with blood, but it had dried up and looked like rust instead.Looking up, the blood on Lin Yuan's body probably came from this cardboard box.

The opening of the carton was half-hidden, and Zhong Kaifan said patiently, "A Yuan, give me the box."

Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze, looked at Zhong Kaifan strangely, subconsciously hugged the box tightly, and shook his head resolutely.

Zhong Kaifan asked: "Can you let me see what's inside the box?"

Lin Yuan's fingers loosened, but his eyes were still full of guard. His Adam's apple moved, because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was a little dry, "You can't take it away."

Zhong Kaifan nodded, "If I don't take it away, I'll just take a look."

Lin Yuan pushed the box away a little so that Zhong Kaifan could see it clearly. The box was still on his knee. He reached out with his left hand, gently opened the lid, and stayed there for a while.

Zhong Kaifan got a little closer, and inside was a cat with an extremely tragic death. Judging from its hair, it should be an orange cat.He closed his eyes in pain, and said softly, "A Yuan, I saw it."

Lin Yuan took the box back, breathing tremblingly, looking at the carton lovingly, as if staring at a baby.

After a long time, he asked word by word: "Why does such a cute animal only have one eye left?"

"Head and body are also separated."

"My stomach is empty, I must be very hungry."

"Before you die, did you have enough to eat..."

"So much blood has been shed."

"It's April now, the sun is very good outside, why doesn't it snore in the slippers."

"There is no collar around the neck, it should be a stray cat."

"How would you catch a mouse if you didn't have nails?"

"Who is it?"

"Do you hate me that much?"

"Since you hate me, why don't you come at me and bully the little animals."

……

Lin Yuan's tears fell one by one and fell on the cardboard box. Soon, he hurriedly wiped the tears on the cardboard box, and said intermittently: "The tail is so thin."

The air suddenly became silent, and the sound of sobbing was faintly heard.

Zhong Kaifan's eyes were moist, and he said with great difficulty: "A Yuan, this is not your fault."

Lin Yuan hugged the box tightly, mourning to the extreme, "Why is it not my fault? If it wasn't for me, it would definitely not be lying in the box. It would go to the grass, walk on the houses, and cross the streets and alleys."

After a long time, a voice came from behind: "Kaifan?"

Zhong Kaifan turned his head and saw An Ran standing at the door of the room with an anxious expression on his face.

Zhong Kaifan signaled her not to speak with his eyes.

An Ran walked over gently, squatting beside Zhong Kaifan.

Zhong Kaifan looked at Lin Yuan with a gentle voice: "A Yuan, give me the box."
