remnants

That night, Mu Xizhe stayed with Yu Sheng until the second half of the night, and the two talked about some things, but nothing constructive. .

Naturally, I couldn't sleep well, and woke up very early in the morning, feeling sore and backache.

In fact, when I returned to the room last night, I found that Su Ji was sleeping on the floor and left the folding bed for Yu Sheng.But Yu Sheng insisted on sleeping on the floor, and couldn't get up on the floor. Mu Xize had no choice but to carry Su Ji to the folding bed, and lay down on the floor himself.

Waking up now, Mu Xi Ze looked at his phone and found that it was only six o'clock in the morning.

"It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." Mu Xi Ze said softly when he realized that Yu Sheng beside him had also woken up.

"I can't sleep anymore, I'm a little hungry." Yu Sheng sat up, put his hands on his temples and rubbed them, "There's bread and milk in the refrigerator, let's eat some first."

"You should go brush your teeth and wash your face first." Mu Xi Ze was disgusted and helpless, and Yu Sheng curled his lips and muttered: "I don't want to be particular about it."

The two of them talked very softly, but Su Ji didn't sleep deeply, and woke up leisurely when he heard the movement, opened his eyes and collected himself, suddenly let out a "huh", stood up and looked around, and said strangely: "I Why are you sleeping here?"

"Your Ozawa carried you up." Yu Sheng teased meanly, his mood was much better than yesterday when the new day came.

Su Ji wanted to give him a blank look, but thought he couldn't see, so she held back.

After getting out of the folding bed, Su Ji went to the bed and tested the temperature of Nie Qing's forehead, and heaved a sigh of relief: "The fever is gone."

"That's good." Yu Sheng didn't move forward, not because he doesn't care, but now he feels that he is quite useless, and he can't do anything even if he moves forward.Probably all he can do now is caring, Yu Sheng thought silently.

But at this moment, Nie Qing who was lying on the bed suddenly frowned, and let out a soft hum: "Mmm..."

"He's awake?" Yu Sheng asked immediately.

"Nie Qing?" Su Ji leaned down to observe Nie Qing's face carefully, and found that his eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened, his eyes were still very dazed.

"Secretary..." Nie Qing seemed to be struggling to speak at this moment, his voice seemed to be squeezed out of his throat, thin and sandy, as if his throat was full of gravel.Nie Qing also felt the effort when he spoke, subconsciously made a swallowing movement, turned his head to the right, saw Yu Sheng, his eyes suddenly became very steady, and his eyes closed again irresistibly.

Both Mu Xi Ze and Su Ji saw this scene, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and then at Yu Sheng who didn't understand the situation and showed an anxious face, they couldn't help feeling sad for a while.

"How is he? Su Ji?" Yu Sheng couldn't hear the sound, and finally couldn't help but groped forward, helped him to the edge of the bed and squatted down, but the movement of his hands froze for a moment.Originally, he seemed to be going to pull Nie Qing's hand, but halfway he hesitated to take it back. "Aren't you awake? Why is there no movement?"

Hearing his voice, Nie Qing struggled to open his eyes again, looked at him and said, "I'm awake...don't worry..."

"Well...that's good." Yu Sheng's answer was a little stiff.

"What about you?" Nie Qing's eyes fell on his injured arm.

"I'm fine!" Yu Sheng's words were exaggerated, the ending was out of tune, his expression suddenly became awkward, and he got up to leave: "I'll get you some water—"

"Ah Sheng..." Nie Qing felt that he had no strength at all at this moment. He wanted to hold Yu Sheng back, but after his brain gave instructions, his arms were completely unable to execute, and he lay motionless on the bed.So, he could only watch as Yu Sheng turned around and was stopped by Mu Xi Ze, who pressed him on a dark gray folding bed next to him, "You don't want to move, I'll go." Mu Xi Ze said.

"Okay..." Yu Sheng seemed a little embarrassed when he sat down.

Nie Qing kept staring at him, and Su Ji noticed that Nie Qing's eyes were turning red.

These two...

"Come on, let's drink some water first." At this moment, Mu Xize had returned with the water, and was startled when he saw Nie Qing's appearance, but then he walked to the bed as if nothing had happened, and signaled Su Ji helped Nie Qing up, and handed the water glass to his lips for him to take two sips slowly.

"Cough-cough..." Nie Qing choked suddenly, and Yu Sheng subconsciously stood up, lifting his buttocks, but sat back down two seconds later.

"Drink slowly, don't worry." Su Ji sighed silently in his heart.He naturally knew why Nie Qing was choking, because this person's attention had been on Yu Sheng.

Su Ji feels aggrieved and worried for the two of them even if he can't tell if he sees it right now.

"By the way..." Nie Qing finally shifted his gaze, "Have you contacted Luo Qi?" He asked Su Ji.

"Well, I told him about your injury. He was about to come, but I stopped him. Zhu Zuwei has already led someone to find the scene. Luckily, Luo Qi knew that you were going to the provincial office. Zhu Zuwei guessed that you would take a small path and go there Later, I found bloodstains and steel nails embedded in it. Speaking of this, I want to ask you, Zhu Zuwei found your car at the intersection, and it had a flat tire. How did you drive over?."

"Let's just drive there..."

"Don't you know that you can't drive again with a flat tire? How dangerous is that, you might roll over to the side of the road, and no one will find you and you will die." Su Ji didn't want to turn over the old score at first, but when he thought about it, he felt scared and couldn't help it Say a few more words.

"I can't help it..." Nie Qing said weakly, "My phone is broken... I can't wait, wait there..."

"Stop talking, and rest for a while." Yu Sheng said suddenly.

Nie Qing looked at him with indescribably warm eyes, and softly agreed: "Okay."

"Cesis, can I trouble you to drive out and buy some food? There isn't any place that sells breakfast nearby, so I need to go a little farther." Yu Sheng stood up and turned around, turning his back to Nie Qing, "How about this? You are not familiar with this area, take me with you, and Su Ji will stay behind."

"Is this... okay?" Mu Xi Ze turned his head to look at Su Ji, Su Ji looked at Nie Qing, and found that he was staring at Yu Sheng and nodded.

"You guys go, leave this to me." Su Ji said.

Mu Xi Ze hummed, and Yu Sheng had already left for the door.

After they both left the house, Su Ji sighed helplessly at Nie Qing, "Aren't you tired like this?"

Nie Qing shook his head slightly, "Someone is already eyeing me...can't...let me take it all..."

"But, he's really not feeling right now. You didn't see how he looked like yesterday. He was half dead. I'm afraid he won't be able to think about it."

"Ah..." Nie Qing closed his eyes, his eyelids trembled slightly, and after a while, he said, "There is no perfect solution... I don't know..."

Seeing the pain on his face, Su Ji couldn't bear to continue this topic, so he interrupted immediately: "Okay, don't rush to figure it out at this moment, you need to heal your injuries first, otherwise you will always look at Yu Sheng like that, I will All feel bad."

"Hmm..." Nie Qing really didn't have much energy, and fell back into a drowsy sleep after answering the call.

When I woke up again, it was already afternoon.

Opening his eyes and looking around, he found that Mu Xize and Su Ji were not there, only Yu Sheng was sitting by the bed, "looking" at him blankly.

However, Nie Qing knew that if he kept silent, Yu Sheng would not even find out that he was awake.

With others present, Nie Qing had to control his emotions.But at this moment, the sourness and pain in his heart surged out unstoppably, almost drowning him in it.

Nie Qing stretched out his hand—he finally regained control over his body, and tightly clenched the hands that were held together for the rest of his life.

"Ah Qing?" Yu Sheng leaned over all of a sudden, his nervous expression was evident even if he didn't pass through his eyes, "Are you awake? How do you feel? What do you need me to do?"

"No need for anything, I'm fine." Nie Qing stared at him deeply, tears had already fallen on the pillow, but his tone was relaxed.

"It sounds better than in the morning..." Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something now? We bought a lot of food in the morning and came back. There is porridge, but it's already cold... I'm going to warm you up—"

"Don't be too busy." Nie Qing gently shook his hand, and said softly, "I'm so hungry, I really don't have any appetite right now, don't worry about eating."

"Oh...then you must tell me if you want to eat!" Yu Sheng settled down worryingly.

Nie Qing smiled and nodded in agreement, but the moistness in his eyes became more and more obvious. He suppressed the urge to choke and asked, "Why are you the only one left? What about the two of them?"

"Su Ji has gone to the Municipal Bureau. He is on duty today, so it is not easy to ask for leave. In addition, he also wants to ask about yesterday's investigation. Caesar just left, and he went home to get some things, and he will come back in the evening." After Yu Sheng said this The words, as if thinking of something suddenly, fell silent all of a sudden.

Nie Qing understood the reason for his silence.Because he is not sure to take care of himself alone.But this situation of having to depend on others must have made him very sad.

Nie Qing didn't know how to comfort him, he couldn't even comfort himself.

After being silent for a while, Nie Qing finally managed to speak: "What happened in the orphanage yesterday?"

"Oh, it's a small matter. We went to install the camera and encountered some twists and turns, but it's no problem anymore." Yu Sheng also replied vigorously.

Nie Qing thought for a while and understood his intentions, "Will this be too risky? What if someone inside finds out?"

"That can't be helped. You have to take a gamble, otherwise there will be no breakthrough, and you won't be able to afford time." Yu Sheng said.

"I have asked someone to check the information of all the personnel of the Fanxing Orphanage. There is no feedback yet. I will give you the feedback when I get it."

"Okay...thank you." Yu Sheng froze for a moment before hesitatingly said.

Nie Qing felt her heart swell and ache, and her clenched hands tightened a bit.

He had been thinking about one thing just now, or rather, it was a decision.At this moment, seeing Yu Sheng's unnatural reaction, he finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind, so he said slowly and hesitantly: "Ah Sheng, don't be so cautious, we really can't go this far. Anyway, we are still brothers..."

When he said the word "brother", Nie Qing saw that Yu Sheng's expression froze for a moment, and he himself was heartbroken, but he continued: "I admit, I am a stranger to you, I can't do it... Let's be brothers in the future, okay? I... was born earlier than you, and I will treat you as my own brother... If you have anything to do, I will definitely protect you, but you don't have to do it for me The same thing. After all, I am an older brother... It is only natural to take care of you..."

Nie Qing's words were still there. He wanted to explain more about the rationality of his decision, but seeing Yu Sheng's face turning gray and his eyes getting wet, he couldn't say anything.

Being brothers, for a pair of former lovers like them, maybe it's better to be strangers.

However, Yu Sheng agreed.

He lowered his head suddenly and deeply, and after about half a minute, he lifted it up suddenly, his grinning muscles were twitching, and he said loudly, "Okay, it's still brother!"

At this moment, Nie Qing really wanted to pull him into her arms and kiss him forcefully.

But immediately after, Yu Sheng lay down on the bed, buried his head in the quilt, and cried out suppressedly.

It has reached the limit of what he can bear.
