remnants

When Nie Qing cooked the porridge and brought it over, Lian Xu had already left.

He did hear the door closing in the kitchen at that time, and he had already guessed it in his heart, but when he returned to the bedroom, he asked casually, "Where's the little golden retriever?"

"I let him go back first..." Yu Sheng's posture was changed to lie flat, Nie Qing walked over to carefully lift him up, and wrap him in his arms.

"It's still a little hot now, why don't you wait for it to cool down before drinking?" Nie Qing scooped up half a spoonful from the bowl, put it to his mouth to test the temperature, then put the spoon back, and put the bowl on the bedside table superior.

Leaning in his arms, Yu Sheng couldn't help sniggering, "You're so eager to bring it here because it's too hot, are you starving?"

"I'm afraid you're starving, can't you help but want to eat?"

"Ah Qing..."

……

During the process, Yu Sheng kept his eyes open.

Because only when he was so close, could he see Nie Qing's appearance more clearly.

……

Just like that, after the two "take care" of each other and go to the bathroom to clean up each other, almost two hours have passed.

Because Yu Sheng's wound cannot be wetted with water, Nie Qing first used a basin to catch hot water to help him wash his hair, and then carefully wiped the rest of his body with a towel. After cleaning up completely, he broke out in sweat again , So he sent Yu Sheng out of the bathroom, took a quick shower by himself, wrapped up the bath towel and came out, and saw Yu Sheng was already sitting at the dining table, eating the porridge he had just cooked with relish.

"You are self-conscious." Nie Qing said so, but in fact, seeing Yu Sheng's energetic state at this moment, he felt quite relieved.

"I'm so hungry." Yu Sheng watched him approach and quickly swallowed a big mouthful, then let out a satisfied sigh, "Ah Qing, who did you learn to soak rice in water? It's quite delicious."

"...This is called white porridge." Nie Qing suppressed a smile, pinched the back of his neck with one hand, and went back and forth like catching a kitten, "I have wronged you, there is nothing else to eat at home, and I haven't bought vegetables for a long time There are only less than two cylinders of rice left, so I really can't make any tricks."

"Couldn't you have always been like this when you were alone before? Come back and cook a bowl of porridge when you're hungry?" Yu Sheng turned to look at him.

Nie Qing thought for a few seconds, then shook his head, "When I was alone, I didn't even bother to cook porridge, so I just made do with everyone outside."

"Hey...it's unhealthy to eat out all the time." Yu Sheng sighed, "I really miss the days when I was in middle school and high school, and I could eat the meals you cooked for me every day."

Nie Qing couldn't help being slightly startled when he heard his words, and then leaned over and kissed him lightly on the top of the head, and said, "What is there to miss, if you want to eat, I can continue to cook for you in the future. When this case is solved Now, I can spend more time with you."

"Really?" Yu Sheng looked up at him as if he was very happy, "Then I have to hope that this case will be solved soon, and don't take up too much time for me to fall in love with you."

"Well, it's coming soon." Nie Qing pulled the chair beside him and sat down after finishing speaking.

"Why, it sounds like you already have a clue?" Yu Sheng asked curiously.

Nie Qing nodded and signaled him to continue eating, "I found a lot of things in the past two days, and I will tell you slowly after eating."

"Okay!" After Yu Sheng agreed, he raised his head and quickly drank all the porridge in the bowl.

Nie Qing also finished drinking quickly, and washed the bowls and spoons and put them away. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Ah Sheng?" When Nie Qing came out of the kitchen, he found Yu Sheng curled up on the sofa with a pillow in his arms. He thought he had fallen asleep, so he couldn't help walking over quietly with distress and worry, ready to carry him back to the bed.

However, when Yu Sheng noticed him approaching, he suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head and smiled and asked, "What are you secretly trying to do to me?"

"What do I want to do to you, do I still need to be sneaky?" Nie Qing sighed helplessly, still bent down and hugged him up by the waist, and walked to the bedroom, saying: "You should just lie down on the bed, there is something wrong with you." Injured, still have a fever, do not know what to pay attention to?"

"But I don't want to lie down, I want to be hugged by you." After Yu Sheng finished speaking, he hooked Nie Qing's neck shamelessly, and winked pitifully at him, "Ah Qing, why don't you just hug me like this?" Let me tell you about the progress of the case, and I will listen to it as a bedtime story."

"... After listening to such a bedtime story, you will definitely have a nightmare." Nie Qing looked at him amusedly, but did not refuse the proposal.

After sitting down on the bed with Yu Sheng in his arms, he still let him lean into his arms as before, then pulled up the quilt to cover the two of them, and tightly circled him with both hands.

"Then I'll just say that?" Nie Qing looked down at Yu Sheng who was resting comfortably on his chest.

Yu Sheng nodded, "Tell me, can I listen with my eyes closed?"

"Well, sleep peacefully when you're sleepy." Nie Qing gently kissed his forehead, feeling that the temperature there wasn't very high, which made people feel at ease.

And he was holding Yu Sheng at this moment, no longer as if he was holding a human-shaped stove in the middle of the night yesterday.Nie Qing felt that Yu Sheng's physical condition should have gradually stabilized, so he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ah Qing, tell me quickly." Yu Sheng raised his head again at this time, and rubbed his fluffy hair against Nie Qing's chin, and he shrank into his arms, like a small animal begging to be caressed. Involuntarily, she hugged him even tighter.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I've found in the past two days, as well as my own analysis and judgment." Nie Qing said in a low voice.

Originally, he was already prepared to investigate this case by himself.

But sure enough, if Yu Sheng was alive, he would still be more willing to share his thoughts with him, and would be more inclined to face with him what might happen next.

Both body and soul have long been used to two people.

Even though it was forced to stop for three and a half years, this habit has never changed.

Nie Qing was deeply moved by his attachment to Yu Sheng, and hugged him tightly with his arms. After a moment of distraction, he opened his mouth and told him in detail everything that happened since the two separated yesterday evening.

Yu Sheng listened intently from the beginning to the end. Although he closed his eyes, his mind was always highly concentrated, and his brain was also running at high speed, closely following Nie Qing's rhythm.

When Nie Qing finally finished speaking, Yu Sheng had already fully understood and agreed with all his conjectures.

"Ah Qing, from this point of view, the most suspicious person is that person." Yu Sheng said after thinking for a while after listening.

Nie Qing nodded slightly, "At present, this seems to be the most likely possibility. However, if this possibility is true, then the candidate for another murderer..."

"The biggest suspect is the one who is still lying in the hospital, right?" Yu Sheng opened his eyes and asked.

"Yes." Nie Qing's tone became extremely cautious, "Unless he can provide a [-]% alibi, otherwise, he may not be able to explain this matter for a while."

"Eh?" Yu Sheng raised his voice jokingly, "I thought you would hope that he was the murderer."

"No." Nie Qing shook his head seriously, "I do doubt him, but I hope from the bottom of my heart that it won't be him."

"Because of little Su Ji?" Yu Sheng asked.

"It's not all because of the secretary." Nie Qing sighed imperceptibly, "I just think it's a very sad thing if people like him would choose to kill for a certain purpose."

After hearing this, Yu Sheng nodded slightly, and then sighed, "Who says it's not... Such a choice must be a last resort in a desperate situation. For example, killing your father or something... ..."

"A Sheng?" Nie Qing vaguely sensed a disturbing aura from Yu Sheng's words just now, and couldn't help but look down at him, "What are you thinking?"

"Huh? It's nothing..." Yu Sheng suddenly came back to his senses and grinned, "This topic is too heavy, making people react slowly..."

"Then let's not talk about it." Nie Qing saw the exhaustion on Yu Sheng's face, and hugged him to lie down, "Go to sleep, and we can discuss the rest when we get up tomorrow."

"Okay..." Yu Sheng really couldn't hold on anymore. After being highly concentrated, he relaxed and felt as if he had been hollowed out from the inside out.

What's more, he had a very bad day today.

"Ah Qing... can I tell you something secretly?" Yu Sheng suddenly whispered again when he was sleepy and unconscious.

"Tell me." Nie Qing, who was much more sober than him, whispered in his ear.

Yu Sheng seemed to nod his head subconsciously, and then said as if dreaming: "Actually last night... when you drove me away...although I don't blame you...but... I was really...really sad... ...probably not 'a little'...it was a lot of 'dots'...I was so sad...almost cried..."

"Asheng..."

Nie Qing tightened his arms and pressed his back tightly against his chest, so that the breathing of the two gradually became synchronized.

"Sorry……"

After a while, Nie Qing asked again, "Can you forgive me?"

Yu Sheng didn't answer him.

Yu Sheng has fallen asleep.
