"Actually, more than two years ago, Lu Qixuan took you to the United States for treatment. At that time, the hospital he chose happened to be the hospital where I worked, so I met you at that time... At first, it was because of Mr. Long. I was also transferred to be in charge of following up your treatment. I know your relationship with Lu Qixuan, and I also know that your only relative in this world is an older sister.

At that time, I was very curious why your sister didn't come with you. Later, it wasn't until Lu Qixuan took you back to China that Mr. Long told me about the things between you, including your sister. "

He looked at me and smiled slightly bitterly.

"The name Jiang Zhengming... Do you have any impression, Ling Xi?"

Hearing this name, I shivered all over my body, and suddenly remembered the voice in my memory...that voice that kept laughing at me in the dark room...

Shihiko gently shook my hand and pulled me out of the memory.

"Don't be afraid, Ling Xi." He comforted me tenderly, "That person won't hurt you now, and he won't be able to hurt you again in this lifetime.

"what……"

"He's dead, Ling Xi."

Eh?

"Mr. Long and Lu Qixuan teamed up to kill him."

Eh? !

Shihiko patted my shoulder lightly to calm me down.

"That happened a month ago, but what I want to say is... In fact, your sister has been working for Jiang Zhengming three or four years ago." He held me tightly hand, speaking word by word.

I can't help being a little surprised.How could my sister work for that person?Shouldn't my sister be working in City C?

"Don't believe it?"

I nod right away.

"Well... To be specific, the bar your sister works in is actually a store run by Jiang Zhengming's subordinates. After he found out that your sister was working in that store, he promoted your sister to join him. He probably has the same relationship with you. My sister said a lot about you and Lu Qixuan..."

Hearing what he said, I remembered the situation when I took Qixuan to find my sister four years ago. At that time, my sister had such a bad attitude towards Qixuan... Maybe it was because of Jiang Zhengming?

"Last year, I heard that your sister went to look for you, but the process didn't seem to be very pleasant. You also stayed in the ICU for several days because of that incident."

"what……"

How could this be...

"According to Mr. Long, Lu Qixuan seems to have murdered Jiang Zhengming precisely because of that incident, and he was not relentless, including your sister. After Mr. Long made a move to entangle Jiang Zhengming, your sister was charged with intentional injury." Sentenced to eight years in prison, it can be said that this was completely controlled by Lu Qixuan."

what?

I opened my eyes wide and looked at Shihiko in disbelief.He must be joking, right?Why would Qixuan do that to her sister...

"Ling Xi, calm down and think carefully. I didn't lie to you." Zhiyan's expression was so serious that I had to calm down and think about his words.

"If you really understand Lu Qixuan's personality, you should be able to imagine his methods."

Impossible, Qixuan wouldn't do that - I kept shaking my head, tears rolling down from my eyes.

Shihiko looked at me, smiled wryly and sighed.

"Ling Xi... you also know in your heart that what I said is true, otherwise why are you crying?" He asked me back, I hurriedly lowered my head to avoid his sight.

"Actually, he has shown some respect for your sister. The other people under Jiang Zhengming's command were all silenced." Zhiyan said, reaching out to wipe my tears.

"Ah... ah..." I raised my hand as if to write, and Zhiyan hurriedly brought a pen and notebook from the table beside me.

(Where is Qixuan now?)

"Him? Do you still want to find him? Even so..." Zhiyan seemed a little hesitant.

(Why didn't he come to me?)

"He..." Zhiyan looked at me, his eyes full of confusion, "He is now in New York with Mr. Long...discussing how to distribute the property looted from Jiang Zhengming, and it may take a few days before he can go back... "

go back?

I can't help but wonder, shouldn't it be coming back?Shouldn't Qixuan come to me directly?Why……

(………………Where am I now?)

Zhiyan let out a long sigh, lowered his head, supported his forehead with his hands, and after a long time, looked up at me again.

"Ling Xi, come with me, okay? I will take good care of you, we will never lack anything. You shouldn't be with someone like Lu Qixuan... You don't even know what he has done, how he treats the enemy Means——If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that such a gentle and elegant person would do such a thing. Do you know how he killed Jiang Zhengming? He first sent someone to tie him in the car , and in front of everyone, ordered someone to use a metal shredder to crush the car into cubes. I will never forget Jiang Zhengming's screams before he died..."

He leaned forward, hugged my trembling body tightly, and said softly: "I will protect you, Ling Xi. I can take you to the United States or Europe, as long as it is a place you like, I will take you Go. Don't stay around that kind of devil anymore, you shouldn't be with that kind of person..."

I didn't know how to answer him, everything he said was too sudden to me.I don't believe that Qixuan would do such a thing. He would send his sister to prison with his own hands?he will kill?I don't know, and I'm not sure.Zhiyan's words sound so true and credible, but I would rather he didn't say anything, and everything returned to the original state, just Qixuan and me, the two of us, living a peaceful life...

"Ling Xi, promise me, I will treat you well."

Zhiyan looked at me very affectionately, and for a moment I even saw the shadow of Qixuan on his face...

(I want to sleep for a while.)

For a long time, I slowly wrote these words.

"Ah...okay..." Zhiyan froze for a moment, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.He wiped his face with his hands, and soon smiled at me again, got up and helped me to lie down, and then helped me cover the quilt again.

"Rest well, Ling Xi."

He didn't continue to question me, but sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching the less and less liquid medicine in the hanging bottle drip down drop by drop.

Time seemed to stand still in the cabin.I closed my eyes and tried to hypnotize myself, trying to forget everything I had just heard.Soon, I fell asleep. In my dream, I dreamed that Qixuan was holding me. In a room full of toys, Qixuan was holding the little yellow dog in his hand and whispering in my ear.

If only I could stay in that moment forever...

I thought deeply.

It was dawn, the sun was shining on my face, the bottle beside my bed was gone, only a strip of white adhesive tape on the back of my hand.Shihiko was sitting on a chair by the desk, showing me his usual hearty smile.

"Good morning."

He said in a slightly hoarse voice, with tiredness in his voice.

"Ah..." I replied with a slight voice, and I was still thinking about the scene in my dream.

"Ling Xi, refresh yourself, I'll take you to wash up."

As he spoke, he gently rubbed my eyes, and picked me up from the bed again.My head rests on his chest, and I see my hands as far as I can see.My hands... always feel a little different, where is it... I thought about it, raised my hands up to my eyes-by the way, the small square that I always carried on my right finger is gone.Was it picked off by Zhiyan?When did he take it off...

Shihiko quickly noticed my actions.

"Looking for that monitor?" he asked me.

"what……"

"That... I took it off for you when you were discharged from the hospital... Uh..." He explained, hesitating to speak.

I looked up at him, but he just smiled helplessly at me, and then stopped talking.He put me in the wheelchair that had been prepared in the bathroom, then knelt on the ground to help me brush my teeth, wash my face, and then change the diaper.I'm almost used to being taken care of by him like this. Although I can move my hands, he never asked me to do these things by myself.He didn't say a word during the whole process, maybe he was still thinking about yesterday?

Thinking of this, Zhiyan's words seemed to echo in my ears again, bringing me back to reality from the dream in an instant.I sighed silently in my heart, feeling extremely heavy.When Zhiyan carried me back to the bed, I asked him for paper and pen again.Some things cannot be taken back once identified, so no matter what, at least before deciding on one thing, I want to make sure that I can make a fair judgment as much as possible.

(About Qixuan...is what you said true?)

After finishing writing, I raised my head and stared at him, even with a hint of pleading.At least this matter, at least this person in front of me, I hope I can trust.

Zhiyan looked at me and sighed, his slightly melancholy expression hadn't changed since the beginning.

"I won't lie to you, Ling Xi." He said word by word.

(Is there any proof I can be sure?)

"Uh..." He seemed to be frowning in extreme pain, as if recalling something he didn't want to recall.

"Ling Xi, trust me... I've told you the truth about Lu Qixuan. Although I can't give any evidence, I can assure you that I will never lie or hide anything from you. In fact, you The monitor in his hand..." He hesitated for a moment, but then spoke again, "The signal on the monitor is directly connected to Lu Qixuan's mobile phone, and that monitor is not only for collecting the wearer's vital signs Data, including pinpointing location, recording movement routes, and even listening, is completely possible. That's why I took that thing off your hands."

"..."

I was stunned again by his words.

So before at the hospital, did Qixuan hear what was going on with me?Then when I called Ji Ming, he also...

Why didn't he tell me beforehand?And the phone... Why didn't he call me back, he obviously knows everything, he knows my every move - what the hell is he thinking?

For a moment, I felt that the distance between Qixuan and me became so far away, as if I was the only person in this world who couldn't see through him.

"Ling Xi..." Zhiyan held my hand, "Actually, the first time I saw you two years ago... I fell in love with you." Zhiyan's voice was deep and low, as if A quiet and melodious cello music echoed in my ears.

"Will you stay with me?"

he asked.

And looking at him, I just feel a mess in my head.

The development of things has far exceeded my expectations, and I even a little hope that I will go back to the state of ignorance before.The world is changing too fast, even a second of stagnation is enough to catch people off guard, and I seem to have stayed in place for many years.

Maybe Qixuan has changed, to the point where even if I stand in front of me, I can’t recognize it... The past is like the wind, once it blows, it disappears without a trace. Even if I remember it carefully, the memory may be shattered Incomplete, all I can see is the eyes.

I let out a long sigh, looked at Zhiyan, and raised my pen.

Maybe that's the only way?Let's do this for now...
