remnants

After the examination of Yu Sheng, the doctor said that he was just overworked, coupled with a moment of anger and anxiety, he suddenly fainted, and he would be fine if he rested more.

Because Lian Xu's room was a VIP single room with a lot of space, Nie Qing asked the hospital staff to help him install another bed in the room for Yu Sheng to rest on, so that he could take care of both of them.

Lian Xu had just been reprimanded by Yu Sheng at that time, and then he was taken aback by Yu Sheng's fainting. He persisted until the doctor said that Yu Sheng was fine, and then he fell asleep again like a sudden power failure.

Nie Qing also felt a little tired. Meng Zheng hadn't contacted him yet. It seemed that there was no progress on the other end. He couldn't ask other questions until Yu Sheng woke up, so he relaxed a little.He went out to settle down with the two people guarding the door, and when he came back, he lay down on the sofa and fell asleep after a while.

Until he was awakened by a burst of melodic bells.

Nie Qing fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly heard that Yu Sheng had picked up the phone, and his voice was deliberately lowered: "Why did you call, where have you been these few days?"

The person on the other side didn't know what to say, and it was quiet for a while before I heard Yu Sheng say again: "Okay, let's meet and talk later, you can come to me." After Yu Sheng gave the address of the hospital, he hung up the phone.

"Is it Mu Xi Ze?" Nie Qing got off the sofa and walked to Yu Sheng's bedside.

"Hmm..." Yu Sheng sat on the bed and pressed the center of his brows, then frowned slightly and asked, "I just... fainted?"

"It's just now, it's already noon." Nie Qing looked out the window, the sky was a bit cloudy, and the ward was slightly dark without the lights on, making people's mood unclear.

"Where's Xiaoxu?" Yu Sheng asked again.

"Still sleeping, probably won't wake up in a short time." Nie Qing sighed softly after finishing speaking, "He seems to be frightened by you. I know why you are angry, but, he is because he values ​​you and always takes care of you. You only do that when you put your affairs first. Isn't it too much for you to scold him like that? "

"...I shouldn't be angry with him." Yu Sheng curled up his legs and buried his head in his knees. "I'm angry with myself...I caused him to become like this..."

"What did you say—"

"All along, I have been imagining things." Yu Sheng interrupted Nie Qing, and continued to talk to himself: "Obviously I am blind, but I still want to pursue the truth. Obviously I can't do anything, I have to rely on the strength of others, but I still pretend to be aloof and omnipotent all day long. I know how dangerous what I am doing, but I push my own people into danger without hesitation... What kind of person am I? Such a person...Conceited, hypocritical, despicable, weak, selfish...In order to achieve your own goals, you will not hesitate to sacrifice the people around you..."

"You're not!" Nie Qing couldn't listen any longer, and forcefully lifted Yu Sheng's shoulders to make him look up, then grabbed his chin with one hand and stared straight into his lifeless eyes, "Listen to me, you What you just described is not you at all! There is nothing wrong with what you want to do, and no one knows what will happen in the process in advance, so you don’t have to blame yourself like this!”

"You're right..." Yu Sheng closed his eyes lightly, "No one would know beforehand... But there is a certain danger. I didn't go by myself, but let them go. If I was the one who went... ..."

"There is no such if. It is meaningless to Lian Xu if you say these things now, and it is also meaningless to you. What to do next is the most important thing to consider at the moment!" Nie Qing looked at Yu Sheng's sluggish look He hardened his heart and said.

He had to wake him up.

However, Yu Sheng shook his head when he heard it, and asked back: "The next step? Where is the next step... Didn't you listen to Xiao Xu? I have given up investigating. From now on, I won't investigate anymore..."

"Are you really going to keep your promise to the criminals? Are you willing to just let go of the criminal who may have framed Uncle Yu?"

"If I don't want to be reconciled, what else can I do... If I continue to investigate, not only Xiao Xu, but also you, Qian Qian, Su Ji, and everyone around me will be in danger of life. I can't help it anymore... Ah Qing, I'm really scared this time. I'm afraid that if there is a next time, even if some of you are hurt in front of me, I won't be able to help... I can't protect others, and I even need to be hurt. People protect me, and I still have the face to say something about investigating cases... I'm just a joke."

"Isn't there still me? I will do what you can't do. Isn't this the purpose of your coming back to me this time?"

Nie Qing let go of the hand that was stuck on Yu Sheng's chin, gently slid it to the back of his neck, pressed his forehead on his shoulder, and gently rubbed his fingers between his neck.

"Asheng, don't make a mistake, neither me nor others, our personal safety should not be your burden. We can protect ourselves, although we can't be perfect, but life has never been perfect. Accidents can happen in anything you do. What's more, we have chosen such a path, and the results, whether good or bad, should be borne by ourselves."

"I know, the feeling of blindness must make you very disturbed. You have always been afraid, right? If you don't tell me, I never asked you. I should have realized...I should have told you a long time ago, in I'll tell you while you can still see, don't be afraid."

"Since you can't protect others, I will protect you. I will help you do what you can't do. I hope you can trust me and rely on me like before. You can be wanton, willful, or even make trouble for no reason." It's okay, I won't leave you behind, absolutely not."

A drop of cool moisture suddenly fell from the shoulder, passed through the gap between the clothes and the skin, and slid along the collarbone to the heart.

"Ah Sheng..." Nie Qing pressed his palm against the back of Yu Sheng's neck, and could feel his body trembling weakly, as well as the sobs he tried to suppress in his throat.

"Cry if you want to cry. In front of me, you don't need to have any worries." Nie Qing lowered his head sideways after speaking, his lips brushed gently behind Yu Sheng's ear, and finally stopped at the corner above his auricle On the fragile cartilage, he whispered again: "I have been forcing you all this time, I did something wrong, I'm sorry..."

"Ah Qing..." Yu Sheng could no longer utter a clear syllable, and tears gushed out like a bank. He leaned on Nie Qing's shoulder, and at first he still gritted his teeth and refused to cry, but soon he couldn't hold on anymore. , The sobbing became louder and louder, and finally she was almost buried in Nie Qing's arms and wept loudly.

The grievances, worries, fears, fears, anger, despair, and unwillingness that have been accumulated for so long are all vented at this moment.

He is so tired...

Alone, it is almost impossible to go on.

"Ah Sheng, can we—"

"Ahem..." Suddenly there were a few untimely coughs, as if the screen was blocked by a few running and jumping children when the movie was about to reach its climax.

"I don't seem to come at the right time?" Mu Xi Ze leaned against the door and asked.

Nie Qing stroked the back of the person in his arms, helping him to calm down, and said to Mu Xi Ze, "Why don't you wait outside first?"

"You're being polite. I don't feel ashamed if I see him like this." Mu Xi Ze said that he had already entered the door, and when he turned his head to see Lian Xu lying on the hospital bed, his eyes paused, but he didn't seem surprised.

"Has he woke up?" Mu Xi Ze asked Nie Qing.

"Woke up once, and fell into a coma again."

"What does the doctor say? Is it serious?"

"What do you think?" Yu Sheng sat up straight at this moment, wiped away his tears, but his voice was very nasal, "When did you know about Xiao Xu's injury?"

"Today." Muxi Ze replied.

"Then where have you been these days?" Yu Sheng asked again.

Mu Xi Ze glanced at Nie Qing, "Are you sure you want me to talk now?"

"If necessary, I can avoid it." Nie Qing looked at him and said.

"No need." Yu Sheng held down Nie Qing, "Caesar, we kept it a secret before, but in the end it turned out like this. Do you think it's necessary to keep it secret?"

After waiting for a while, Mu Xi Ze calmly said: "Actually, I don't care at all. It doesn't matter to me now whether it is confidential or not. Since you trust Nie Qing, I will respect your wishes."

"Of course I can trust him." Yu Sheng replied casually.

Nie Qing couldn't help but glanced at him, and when she turned her head, she found that Mu Xi Ze was staring at her intently.His eyes were as unpredictable as before, making people unable to guess, but it seemed to be a little different. The playful and playful meaning that was always looming in the pair of pupils was nowhere to be found at this moment.

He seemed different from the last time we met.

"Before talking about me, I want to ask, did Lian Xu tell you who he saw in the hospital that day?" Mu Xi Ze asked.

"He was discovered before he could say anything." Yu Sheng paused for a moment, "Do you know who it is?"

"Well, it's my mother." Muxi Ze replied.

"Your mother?!" Yu Sheng almost fell off the bed, not caring that his words sounded like scolding, and confirmed loudly: "Is it your adoptive mother??"

"No, it's my own mother." As if anticipating their next reaction, Mu Xi Ze took the lead and said, "Don't worry, I will explain clearly."

"...You have to explain it carefully." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he motioned Nie Qing to help him get out of bed, "Let's move to another place. Although Xiao Xu hasn't woken up yet, our talking next to him may affect his rest."

"But the lounge is too noisy, too crowded and inconvenient."

"Then go to the rooftop. It's cold now, and no one will go outdoors."

"Wait." Nie Qing grabbed Yu Sheng who was about to walk towards the door, "You know how cold it is and still wear so little, so put on your coat."

"Oh..." With Nie Qing's assistance, Yu Sheng got dressed obediently, and then walked out of the ward with him. Mu Xi Ze was already waiting outside.

"You go in and watch first, let's go to the rooftop to talk for a while, if you need something, call me on the phone." Yu Sheng said to the two brothers guarding the door.

"Alright third brother." The two agreed.

Hearing the sound of the two of them entering and the door being closed, Yu Sheng turned around and greeted Nie Qing and Mu Xize: "Let's go."

"Okay." Nie Qing stepped forward to support him, while Mu Xi Ze silently followed behind.

Mu Xize has been deliberating over the content of the upcoming conversation for several days, and until now he dare not say that he has made up his mind.

but……

At the moment when he opened the door leading to the rooftop, the cold wind from outside rushed into his body, and Mu Xi Ze shuddered all of a sudden, those hesitant, entangled, lucky, weak, and even unbearable thoughts were all suppressed by this wave. The strong wind swept away, and the brain instantly woke up.

What was done wrong is irreparable, and the damage caused cannot be repaired.

So at least, from now on, do the right thing.
