remnants

December 2016, 10.

Eight days have passed since Fu Mingjie's incident.

After Yu Sheng was sent to the hospital on the night of the accident, he was in a coma for two days and two nights. When he woke up on the third day, bad symptoms from various wounds on his body followed one after another, disturbing him from sleeping well.

Especially thanks to the painkiller injection that Ming Xin gave him that day, when Yu Sheng woke up again, he felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken and reorganized. Someone as tough as him can't bear it.

Fortunately, Ming Xin is quite a kind person, and she didn't "get a shot and run away".In the past few days, he has been in charge of Yusheng's treatment and recuperation. He has been busy all day long, taking care of all the work such as dressing changes, drips, and measuring physical signs. A few words to help him distract.

In comparison, Nie Qing, the real boyfriend, seemed a bit dereliction of duty.Basically didn't show up much.

Although Ming Xin said that Nie Qing actually came every day, but every time it happened to be one of the few times in Yu Sheng's day when he could fall asleep.And before he woke up, Nie Qing had already received the mission and left.

Yu Sheng called him several times, but no one answered.

Nie Qing would send him a message after about three or four hours asking: I'm busy.What's up?

fine.You're busy.

Yu Sheng replied like this a few times, and then stopped calling.

Yesterday I heard that it was Fu Mingjie's funeral, so Nie Qing went to attend it, and she didn't come to the hospital all day.

Today, Yu Sheng got Ming Xin's approval, saying that he can be discharged from the hospital.But when he got dressed and was about to leave, he saw Nie Qing appearing at the door of the ward.

"I'll pick you up." Seeing him looking over, Nie Qing said briefly.

It seemed to be the first official word the two had spoken since that night.

Yu Sheng let out an "oh", walked up to Nie Qing and stared at him for nearly five seconds before suddenly grinning and said, "Ah Qing, I thought you weren't coming."

"It just so happens that I'm free today." Nie Qing's eyes only stayed on Yu Sheng's face for a moment, then he turned to Ming Xin who had just come upstairs with him, and asked, "Doctor Ming, can he really be discharged from the hospital?"

"Well, you can, but you still need to pay attention to rest after you go back."

Ming Xin put his hands in the pockets of his white coat, his eyes turned back and forth between Nie Qing and Yu Sheng twice, his expression became subtle.

"Remember, the body and mind must be nourished together. If you are in a bad mood, your body's self-healing ability will also be weakened."

"Why have you been getting more and more verbose lately? Where did that aggressive energy go?" Yu Sheng came out from behind Nie Qing, smiled and stepped forward to pat Ming Xin on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I am a professional in wound healing, and I will definitely not discredit you as a 'superior doctor'."

"That's the best." Mingxin's face was turned cold again by his words, and he coughed lightly, "Don't let me see you again in a short time."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not come here in a short time! Even if I really need it, I won't come all the way here." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he took Nie Qing's arm, half hooked his waist, and said, "Let's go." Let’s go, and stay in the hospital again, and all the urine I will urinate will be disinfectant.”

"..." Nie Qing's expression was a little speechless, but he didn't look at him, and only nodded slightly at Ming Xin: "Then let's go first, thank you Doctor Ming this time. In the future, whenever it is useful, just call me."

"It's better for you to hope that you won't deal with me again in the future." Ming Xin looked at Yu Sheng meaningfully when he said this.Yu Sheng smiled at him and said nothing, but Nie Qing pretended not to see it.

"I'm going to do a ward round, so you can do your own thing." Mingxin stepped aside, with "Farewell" already written on his face.

Nie Qing didn't say much anymore, and walked all the way to the parking lot with Yu Sheng on his arm.

"Eh?" Seeing Nie Qing leading himself to a familiar Land Rover, Yu Sheng couldn't help asking, "It was fixed so quickly?"

"It's been done long ago, just change the windshield, how long will it take?" Nie Qing said as he opened the co-pilot's door first, helped Yu Sheng to sit in, fastened his seat belt, and then walked to the other side and sat in. .

"Ah Qing." Yu Sheng watched Nie Qing start the car silently, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to talk to him, so he tried to find some topics.

"You've been very busy recently, so I haven't seen you much." He smiled to hide the embarrassment in his voice. "What are you busy with?"

"There are a lot of chores." Nie Qing's answer was still short.

The smile on Yu Sheng's face couldn't hold anymore.

After waiting for a while, he asked again: "By the way, what happened to Fu Mingjie's case? I haven't seen you for the past few days, and I don't know what happened in the end."

"The case is closed." Nie Qing paused for a moment, maybe because he felt that this answer was too perfunctory, so he added: "After that, it's our business, don't worry about it."

"...Your business?" Yu Sheng stopped laughing this time.

"Yeah." Nie Qing didn't look sideways, "The police have their own rules, so don't interfere."

"You call this meddling?" Yu Sheng sat up straight and turned to look at him, "Don't forget, if I hadn't meddled that night, you would still be tied up!"

"That's why I said 'after'." Nie Qing said flatly.

Yu Sheng was immediately annoyed when he heard it, "Is this the new saying of 'killing donkeys, crossing rivers and demolishing bridges'?"

"You can understand it however you want, I'm just telling you the truth." Nie Qing continued to drive calmly.

Yu Sheng was suffocated by his reaction and his breath was stuck in his chest, and he didn't say the following words in a daze.

He stared at Nie Qing's peaceful side face with confused and hurt eyes for half a minute, then turned his head back silently.

"Take me home." Yu Sheng said after a while.

Nie Qing glanced at him from the corner of his eye, "Where do you think I'm driving now?"

"I mean, go back to my house." Yu Sheng turned his head and looked out the car window.

"No." Nie Qing vetoed without saying a reason.

Yu Sheng couldn't help laughing lowly, "You don't want to see me, you still want to look at me, isn't it intentional to embarrass yourself?"

"I'm not waiting to see you."

"Ah Qing, do you still need to hide from me? If you don't want to see me, you just don't want to see me. I can leave without obstructing your eyes."

"You're right. There's really no need to hide."

After Nie Qing finished speaking, he drove a few hundred meters further, and suddenly turned the steering wheel and braked to stop the car on the side of the road.

"Yu Sheng, I'm asking you a few questions now, can you tell me the truth?" Nie Qing held the steering wheel with one hand, turned around and stared at Yu Sheng firmly.

With a half-smile on Yu Sheng's face, he shrugged his shoulders, "Ah Qing, don't call me by my first name every time you get angry, it's too obvious. If you want to hide your thoughts deeper, you should be more careful. Be more vocal and more patient."

"Like what you did to me?" Nie Qing unbuttoned his seat belt, approaching Yu Sheng.

"Ah Qing, what happened in the past few days? Even if you want to change your attitude towards me, you should give me a reason first, right?" Yu Sheng's eyes became serious. "Is it because the upper echelon of the police force ordered you to close the case hastily, and you feel uncomfortable?" He paused, and then continued: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me directly. Or you just want to vent your grievances , I have no problem letting me suffer. But you can’t tell me nothing and still treat me coldly, can you also consider my feelings a little bit?”

"Okay." Nie Qing replied very simply, without much emotion in his eyes.

He sat back again, leaning his back on the back of the chair, and the tense state of his whole body just now suddenly relaxed.

He took a long breath first, then turned his head and said calmly: "You answer my question first. After answering, we will talk."

"You ask." Yu Sheng had a serious face, and he had roughly guessed what Nie Qing wanted to ask.

Sure enough, when Nie Qing opened his mouth, it was one of the questions he was least willing to answer.

"First question, what happened to your eyes?"

"What's wrong with my eyes?" Yu Sheng still wanted to hold on for a while, pretending to be ignorant, moved his eyeballs up and down, left and right, and said, "There is nothing wrong with my eyes."

But he didn't expect that Nie Qing didn't even ask. He just nodded and continued to ask: "Second question, where did you get that gun that night? Who took it away?"

Yu Sheng was a little guilty about this question, so he thought for a while before answering: "Ah Qing, I can't tell you the source of the gun. But I can guarantee that neither I nor the person who gave me the gun will abuse the gun｜ .With a gun, but for self-protection, not for hurting others."

"Okay. Now there is one last question left." Nie Qing's attitude was abnormally calm.

Yu Sheng knew that the two questions he answered just now were almost as if he hadn't answered them.But Nie Qing didn't question his intention at all, but accepted it completely.This made Yu Sheng a little uneasy, and he became more and more nervous about the last question.

However, before he was given time to calm down, Nie Qing had already asked.

"Ah Sheng, what is the purpose of your coming back to approach me this time?"

"I--"

"You can choose not to answer." Yu Sheng was interrupted by Nie Qing as soon as he spoke. "However, if you choose to answer, I hope you will stop avoiding the important and playing around with me."

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

Nie Qing looked at him, his eyes finally changed, they were no longer as calm as before.

"Ah Sheng, this is the last time I ask you this question. If you still refuse to tell me the truth, then no matter what you do or how you do in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

"What's going on?" Yu Sheng was chilled by this conversation that was on thin ice. He reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth, and approached Nie Qing to grab his hand, "Ah Qing, didn't you say you wouldn't force me? ? But now you suddenly ask this...does it count as repentance?"

Nie Qing gently broke free.

"It's repentance. So, whether you say it or not, I won't blame you."

"You're going to disassociate yourself from me, and you still say you won't blame me??" Yu Sheng had been trying very hard to restrain his emotions, but he couldn't suppress it now.

He couldn't help but took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice as steady as possible: "Ah Qing, tell me what you've been through these past few days, why are you asking me all of a sudden?"

"You really want to know why?"

"Ah."

After listening to Yu Sheng's answer, Nie Qing lowered her head slightly, and gently pressed the two fingers of her right hand between her eyebrows, her voice also lowered, "Okay, I'll give you the reason."

"Asheng, do you understand your current situation? Among the things you are hiding from me, there must be some things that cannot be brought to the table, right? Even if I can temporarily turn a blind eye to these things, can others also? I want you to tell the truth right now. Because I can neither help nor save you without knowing the truth. To prison. Do you know what I mean?"

When Nie Qing asked the last sentence, his eyes also looked deeply into Yu Sheng's eyes, as if he was about to dig out something.

Is it the truth, or the sincerity?

Yu Sheng asked himself silently in his heart, if he could only choose one of these two things for Nie Qing, how would he choose?

"Ah Sheng, tell me your answer." Nie Qing's calm expression was an "ultimatum" for Yu Sheng.

"Okay, I said."

Yu Sheng finally grinned again.

"What you want to know, and what you don't want to know, I will say."
