Neverland

The call bell of Ward No. [-] rang suddenly, and now it was approaching the lunch break of the shift, and there was only one nurse on duty in the nurse station.

The answering screen of the call bell is on the right side of the inside of the duty desk. The nurse on duty hurried out of the dispensing room inside, trying to press the answering bell in a hurry, accidentally knocking a stack of drug registration manuals on the table .

It's a pity that before the call was over, the patients in the sixth ward could not wait to open the door of the ward and went straight to the doctor's office.

The nurse on duty originally wanted to stop him to ask what happened, but just as he took a step forward, he saw that his face was really ugly.The nurse on duty was a girl in her early twenties, she was immediately frightened by Xu Muzhou's appearance, but after a moment of hesitation, Xu Muzhou rushed into the office and closed the door behind her backhand.

The nurse on duty who followed her couldn't let go, held up the emergency phone number in one hand, and knocked on the door tremblingly.

"Doctor Yan?"

Fortunately, only Dr. Yan was on duty in the office. Yan Cen was holding a half-turned case in his hand, and seemed to be looking for some information.He turned around from the filing cabinet, made a silent gesture to Xu Muzhou, and shouted outside: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." The nurse on duty heard that there was nothing wrong with his tone, so she was relieved and asked again: "The patient in bed No. [-] who came in just now..."

"He's here to look for me." Yan Cen shouted through the door: "Don't worry about it, go get busy first."

The nurse on duty outside the door responded immediately, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

"Brother Yan." Xu Muzhou leaned his back against the door, his expression not very good-looking.

"Ji Yun's mother knows about it." Xu Muzhou said.

Yan Cen flicked through the medical records, looked up at Xu Muzhou: "What do you know?"

"I said about Ji Yun's illness, her mother definitely knows where the crux lies." Xu Muzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and walked around the desk eagerly beside Yan Cen: "Is she leaving?"

Seeing his serious expression, Yan Cen put down the things in his hands for the time being, looked at his watch, and said, "Probably not yet, I just talked to Ji Yun's father in the corridor."

"You can't just let her go like this." Xu Muzhou said: "Before I was thinking, why did Ji Yun's mother sign to let Ji Yun out of the guardianship area? Logic. It wasn't until just now that I figured out that her mother may have known about Ji Yun's condition... not only the condition itself, but also the cause of the disease. It is because her mother knew that Ji Yun was not ill at all, so she could explain her mother's abnormal behavior .”

"I always feel that the breakthrough may be here." Xu Muzhou said: "But I can't find a clue... After all, obsession with this thing is too troublesome. You and I have been guessing here for a long time, maybe it's better to ask. Her mother is useful."

"Speaking of this, I have some news to tell you." Yan Cen said.

"What news?" Xu Muzhou asked.

Yan Cen handed the updated information record book to Xu Muzhou: "You guessed it right, Ji Yun did have a younger sister... and this younger sister has died now."

Xu Muzhou was taken aback for a moment: "He's gone?"

"No more." Yan Cen nodded: "I just chatted with her father Zhang Liangcai in the corridor, and his father said that Ji Yun did have a younger sister who was more than [-] years younger than her. Sounds like a good relationship... so your guess is correct."

"Wait a minute." Xu Muzhou said, "What's Ji Yun's father's name?"

"Zhang." Yan Cen said, "Ji Yun is named after her mother, and her mother's name is Ji Xiaoli."

"There are very few good children with the mother's surname." Xu Muzhou glanced at Yan Cen, and asked tentatively, "Could it not be his own?"

Yan Cen was taken aback, he really hadn't thought of this before.But it is undeniable that Xu Muzhou's guess is indeed the one that is closest to reality.

Without waiting for Yan Cen to speak, Xu Muzhou continued on his own: "Then where did this sister named 'Ji' come from?"

Xu Muzhou felt a little tired. He had just confirmed the answer to a question, but he didn't expect that it would lead to more questions.

He rubbed his forehead with a headache, and asked: "...So the child we saw in the amusement park is actually Ji Yun's sister? To commemorate?"

He frowned and recalled the scene that day. Most of his attention was on the environment that night, and his impression of the child was already a little blurred. He only remembered that he was a well-behaved and soft child who was well dressed.I can't remember any more information.

"Maybe." Yan Cen still didn't give a clear answer. He stood by the desk and knocked on the table with his knuckles unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.

"I just want to know one question now... who is the target of our mission." Xu Muzhou said, "Is it Ji Yun or Memorial?"

"Ji Yun." Yan Cen said very firmly: "Otherwise the hydrangea will make a movement on the first night."

Xu Muzhou thought so too. Although the task this time seemed much simpler than the last time, the target of the task had radiated contacts, and his life was well documented, but the progress of the task represented by the hydrangea flower was slow and quiet.Just like squeezing toothpaste, there is only a very fine white line floating down these days, which is almost negligible.

The task progress has not been updated, Xu Muzhou is inevitably a little anxious, he scratched his hair, and sat down on Yan Cen's armchair, peacefully occupying the magpie's nest.

"But it's not completely fruitless." Xu Muzhou sighed: "At any rate, we are now sure that Ji Yun's obsession is related to commemoration."

As soon as he finished speaking, the hydrangea on his neck suddenly burned violently. Xu Muzhou was so hot that he frantically tried to pull the pendant out.

The weather is cold in autumn and winter. Xu Muzhou is not used to the cold in the north. He even wore a thin thermal clothing under the hospital gown. air conditioner.

"Don't move." Yan Cen said.

A hand stretched out from the side, fingertips went in from Xu Muzhou's neckline, hooked the leather rope and gently pulled it out, and the hydrangea pendant rolled out along with the strength.

Xu Muzhou heaved a sigh of relief when the heat source left the skin and flesh. Before he could look down to see where the progress of the mission on the hydrangea was, Yan Cen had already tore off the collar of his thermal clothing, revealing a small piece under his neck. skin.

Xu Muzhou was sitting on an armchair more than one meter high, and Yan Cen was standing in front of him face to face. The rollers under the armchair were probably newly replaced, and they were ridiculously sensitive.With Yan Cen's pull, the chair slid forward according to Yan Cen's strength, and the protruding side armrest just hit Yan Cen's left knee.

Xu Muzhou's breathing stopped for a moment, and his eyes didn't know where to fall for a moment, and finally he floated in a big circle randomly, and landed abruptly on the right pocket of Yan Cen's white coat.

There was a pack of cigarettes in that pocket, and the white coat was so thin that it could be vaguely seen that it was the brand Yan Cen often smoked.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, or maybe the distance is close enough.Xu Muzhou only felt that there was a slight smell of tobacco coming from the other party. The smell was not pungent, but more of a deep plant aroma, which was exactly the same as that in Room 317 of Neverland.

The skin under Xu Muzhou's neck had been scalded with a small red mark, Yan Cen lowered his eyes, and gently pressed the edge of the red mark with his fingertips a few times.His body temperature was lower than normal, and his hands were also cold. Xu Muzhou was shivering from the ice, and fine and dense goose bumps appeared on his skin.

"What?" Yan Cen asked, "It hurts?"

I don't know if it's because they are too close, but Yan Cen's voice is very soft, and the ending floats in the usual calm breath, which sounds like an illusion of intimacy.

Xu Muzhou subconsciously grabbed Yan Cen's wrist.

He swallowed, instinctively feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he couldn't say anything, just as he was trying to find something to say, there was a knock on the office door.

The inexplicable atmosphere just now dissipated instantly, Xu Muzhou came to his senses, and released Yan Cen's wrist like a hot hand.

Yan Cen didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in just a few seconds, he even took another look at the position of Xu Muzhou's red seal to confirm that there was no burn before motioning him to pull up his collar.

"Who?" Yan Cen asked.

"Doctor Yan." Ji Xiaoli said, "It's me."

Yan Cen and Xu Muzhou looked at each other, and pulled out a heavy pen from the pen holder and stuffed it into Xu Muzhou's hand.

"Knock on the table." Yan Cen ordered: "Just keep knocking at a second speed, and keep knocking."

After Yan Cen finished speaking, regardless of whether Xu Mu Zhouming didn't understand what he meant, he went to open the door on his own.

Xu Muzhou couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Yan Cen was selling in the gourd at all. He looked at the pen in his hand suspiciously, and then at Yan Cen's back. Knock on the table.

When Yan Cen opened the door, he took another look at the wall clock on the wall. Ji Xiaoli's visiting time lasted for 9 minutes.

"Doctor Yan." Ji Xiaoli stood at the door holding a handbag and smiled at Yan Cen: "I'm really sorry for your inconvenience."

"It should." Yan Cen said: "Is your visiting time over?"

"Yes." Ji Xiaoli said, "I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't stay any longer. I'm here to say hello to you."

——Ji Xiaoli is different from Zhang Liangcai. She obviously knows how to behave in the world. Even if she is not familiar with the doctor, she has decent etiquette.

But she didn't ask about Ji Yun's treatment.

Yan Cen slightly raised the corners of his lips, and decided to give Xu Muzhou ten points in the mission report.

Ji Xiaoli stood at the door, seemingly not planning to have a long talk.Yan Cen looked out and asked, "Where's your husband, why isn't he with you? No one is allowed in the ward during our lunch break."

"No." Ji Xiaoli said quickly, "He went downstairs to drive."

"That's right." Yan Cen had an idea in mind, and he smiled and said, "I wonder if I can take up 10 minutes of your time."

"Is there something wrong?" Ji Xiaoli was a little puzzled.

"About Ji Yun." Yan Cen looked directly at Ji Xiaoli's pupils, his amber pupils flashed a bright color under the light in the corridor, his tone was very serious, so his voice was a little slow: "I have some questions, I want to talk to you." You, talk."

Yan Cen's punctuation was very strange, Ji Xiaoli's eyes were in a daze for a moment, and then she agreed: "Okay, okay."

As Ji Xiaoli said, she lowered her head and took out her handbag, and sent a text message to Zhang Liangcai downstairs, telling him that she would come downstairs later.

Yan Cen turned sideways to make way for Ji Xiaoli, Xu Muzhou was inside and knocked on the table. He rested his chin and watched Yan Cen talking to Ji Xiaoli at the door, feeling that his virtue was no different from those patients who tore up newspapers for fun.

Ji Xiaoli also saw Xu Muzhou at the first sight after entering the door. Her eyes fell on the pen in Xu Muzhou's hand, and moved up and down as the pen hit the table.

【clatter--】

Yan Cen closed the door with his backhand, counting the seconds in his mind following the sound of Xu Muzhou's knocking on the table.

When Xu Muzhou knocked for the third time, Yan Cen suddenly said, "Ji Xiaoli."

Every word of his was stuck at the point where Xu Muzhou's pen touched the table. Ji Xiaoli turned her head subconsciously, and her eyes lost focus almost instantly.

"I have a question to ask you." Yan Cen said.
