"This is the second-generation experimental product." Joey showed Li Jin the product in his hand, a semi-circular hard collar, about two finger thick, and a thin buckle on the back of Li Jin's neck, "It can be said to be a message A pheromone simulator, the principle is to extract the pheromone within half a meter around you, and then convert it into a substance that you can feel, that is, a certain taste."

David helped Li Jin put it on and turned on the switch.

Li Jin suddenly felt a tingling sensation in his glands, and then the air became fresh, as if he could feel even the slightest fluctuations.He suddenly focused on Joey, "Doctor, your pheromone smell... is it apple?"

Joey lifted his glasses, "To be precise, it's a green apple."

A look of surprise appeared on the faces of several people.

David also used an instrument to simulate the taste of different pheromones for Li Jin to identify, and found that the accuracy rate was nearly 55%.

Joey said with a satisfied smile, "Three blessings come to my door today."

There was a rare warmth in Li Jin's eyes, dispelling the silence of the past, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "Which three happiness?"

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you, the second-generation product... call it a simulator, the effect is much better than expected. Secondly," Joey blinked, "Today is Valentine's Day."

Li Jin was slightly stunned, and after a moment of distraction, he realized that he was joking, and said, "I'm sorry to disturb your date with your wife on the weekend."

Joey waved his hand to show he didn't mind.

Zheng Heen turned his face away unnaturally, wanting to bring the topic over, "Then what about the third thing?"

"The third thing, the patient next door was discharged today. Oh, that's the one I mentioned to you."

Li Jin became stiff for a moment, and his consciousness came out of his body.He moved his Adam's apple with difficulty, and then said slowly, "Is that so..."

"Yes. So now I have to go back and discharge him from the hospital. You remember to get in touch with people more, maybe the effect of the simulator will be better reflected." Joey reminded.

Li Jin agreed.

After Joey and David left, Zheng Heen received a call from the laboratory to deal with some matters.

"I can't accompany you in the afternoon." Zheng Heen said softly, "Wait for me at night, shall we have dinner together?"

Li Jin nodded to him absent-mindedly.

After lunch, Li Jin came to the European-style pavilion in the northwest corner of the park.

Zhong Liang was about to leave the hospital, and Li Jin was caught off guard by a burst of sadness, as if the scars of self-mutilation that had been engraved on his skin for a long time had disappeared and would never come back.He didn't know whether to miss the pain, or miss its existence.

Li Jin began to understand that he was at fault, he couldn't confidently act like a victim, and resent Zhong Liang's appearance and their reunion.His devotion and feelings made them all hurt, from body to soul, everything hurt.

At the same time, he no longer has the courage to fill a black hole with love and passion.Too much sharpness was worn off by the file, and he sank down one foot after another. He didn't dare to climb the snow peak again, so he could only look up at the peak from afar.He couldn't even say it anymore, that was the only vague hope left in his heart.

He hated mountains and rivers, hated traveling long distances, and hated himself for being small and powerless.

The nursing home is extremely lively today, pedestrians come and go in groups, behave intimately, and bouquets of roses flash among them, creating a warm Valentine's Day atmosphere.

But under the pavilion it was still freezing cold, and there was no one to lean on.

Li Jin stood up anxiously and paced back and forth, the snow around the pavilion was trampled into a mess by him, or he sat with his arms around his knees, huddling himself together.

Confused and heartbroken.Unable to judge right from wrong, it's like floating in the universe, losing all sense of reality.

For the first time, Li Jin felt depraved and incompetent, like an unwanted waste.

He simply crouched in his old position, waiting for the unusual peek like a madman.Unable to reach out through the fence to clear the bushes, and dare not stand behind the tree to look openly at the bench that Zhong Liang sat on, he can only look for the light from the other side through the gaps in the low branches.

The snow was dazzling, as if they had been lying side by side under the tree a long time ago, and the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming.

I don't know how long it took, the snow under my feet almost melted due to the heat from Lijin.He felt the footsteps on the other side approaching, stepping on his heartbeat step by step.

Boom... Boom...

The man stopped in front of the bushes, half an arm's distance from the iron grid, breathing extremely calmly, and a cold voice sounded in the open space, "I'm leaving."

Li Jin knew that he was speaking to himself.They are so close, even without the simulator product, they can clearly perceive it.He even wanted to use his original senses to touch the pheromone with aloof and delicate fragrance.

"I know you are here." Zhong Liang seemed to be talking to an ordinary friend, neither far nor near, "Ginkgo leaf, thank you."

Li Jin trembled violently.It turned out that he knew it all, always knew it.Just a few insignificant leaves, is it worth his thanks?The tip of Li Jin's nose felt a little sour, and his body swayed uncontrollably.

"I'm sorry, I can't understand the meaning of 7 leaves... So, goodbye." Zhong Liang said calmly, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was saying his final farewell.

Li Jin bit his lower lip firmly, unable to utter a sound, but his mind was not clear enough.He heard the word "goodbye" magnified countless times, lingering in his ears.He was like a coward, he had been praying in his heart that Zhong Liang would speak seriously, but now he didn't even have the courage to face it directly?

The pair of shoes stopped in the bushes for a few more seconds, turned around, and took a leisurely step.

"Wait!" Li Jin stood up suddenly, his movements were too fast, and he was dizzy for a while.He couldn't see that person's face clearly, pointed to something behind his neck in the void, and said hoarsely, "I can cure it..."

He seemed to be affirming his thoughts, finding an outlet for all the pain, and getting excited, "Zhong Liang, I hope to be cured..." He thought, maybe he should attribute all the mistakes to "hyposensitivity" instead of Do your best, or bear too much of him...

Zhong Liang stared at him carefully, looking into his out-of-focus and moist eyes.He didn't know what Li Jin was referring to, but he was powerless to investigate.

He saw Zheng Heen chasing Li Jin away from his eyes that day, and caught Zheng Heen's gaze.Standing behind him, Wang Haodi said with a little sarcasm and helplessness, "You should believe me this time, I was shocked when I saw the two of them behaving intimately with my own eyes... I didn't expect them to be here too..."

He didn't agree to Wang Haodi's words, but stood there in a daze, hoping that the ginkgoes that might be caught in the book would bring about a turnaround.

Wang Haodi pressed his shoulder, "They are together now, it's okay. Don't think too much, I'll go and see what else to do before the hospital..."

The blood dripping from the torn heart is stitched up little by little.

So much so that today, he can say goodbye calmly.

"Congratulations, Li Jin." Zhong Liang said lightly.

Li Jin opened his eyes wide, and finally saw the person in front of him clearly.He walked a few steps forward, squeezed between the ginkgo tree trunks, his forehead almost touched the iron fence, and was instantly sobered by the ice.He had a strong longing in his heart, wanting to take Zhong Liang into his eyes.

He heard his own voice trembling, "Congratulations too, Zhong Liang."

Zhong Liang bent his lips, "Congratulations to Zheng Heen for getting what he wanted..."

"What..." Li Jin frowned, suddenly realized, and subconsciously said, "No!"

Zhong Liang smiled easily, "Goodbye." He simply turned and left.

Holding the fence with both hands, Li Jin opened his mouth, laughing that he just made up all the excuses and still couldn't say a word to persuade him to stay.I kept watching his back as he walked further and further away and the footprints left in the snow.

The figure became smaller and smaller, as small as a speck of dust, and the last bit of pheromone quickly disappeared into the air.

Li Jin didn't blink, and saw the last scene carefully and clearly, hoping to freeze it and engrave it in his mind.

The wall in front of him surrounded Lijin like a cage.

One of them is in the cape and the other is in the end of the world.One doesn't want to look back, and the other can only look from afar.

They seem to be condensed into two lonely crystals, unable to get close or depend on each other.

Li Jin regretted many things.

It took a long time before he struggled to break free from his emotions.

He squatted down slowly and picked up a ginkgo leaf from the soil.It was probably an incomplete leaf left by him after searching the snow field under this row of trees.

Ginkgo biloba leaves made from local materials are pure love and eternal love.And the rest are his broken obsessions.

He didn't want Zhong Liang to understand, maybe Zhong Liang had already thrown the leaf away.

That's it for them, don't come any closer.

...

The whole city gradually sank into the night.

Zheng Heen went home specially, washed off the smell of medicine in the laboratory, changed into a dark green casual suit, sprayed on light cologne, and went to the nursing home to pick up Li Jin.

Li Jin didn't bring a lot of clothes for a change. Under Zheng Heen's strong request, he wore a pure black slim woolen coat, looking tall and slender, with a calm and mature face wrapped in a stern face.

Zheng Heen tiptoed slightly, and loosely helped him tie the dark green knitted scarf brought from home, with the brand's unique check pattern embroidered on one corner.After finishing the scarf, he opened the distance, and looked at Li Jin with obsessive eyes unconsciously.

"This is?" Li Jin touched the scarf in confusion, knowing that it was expensive.

"The scarf for you." Zheng Heen lowered his gaze, "Let's go, I've booked a hotel."

Li Jin didn't ask any further questions, and just followed.

During the Valentine's Day meal, few taxis passed by the nursing home. Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, there was one specially parked at the door.Zheng Heen walked over and opened the door for Li Jin.

"Thank you." Li Jin said, "You don't need to open the door for me."

Zheng Heen just smiled and said nothing.

In the commercial center not far from the starting point, dozens of nearby street trees are all covered with silver star lights, and under the bright red heart-shaped arches in the central square, couples take photos and laugh happily.Girls selling flowers pull the men's sleeves and beg them to buy a bouquet of fresh roses for their partners.

Li Jin and Zheng Heen passed through the crowd side by side, looking a little out of place.They don't hold hands or shoulders intimately, but they seem to be closer than friends.So much so that the flower girl who knows how to read her face doesn't know whether she should come forward to sell her.

Zheng Heen booked a Chinese restaurant, and it was bustling as soon as he came in, with big and small tables, drinking and talking and laughing.

The waiter led the two of them to the depths, through the winding corridors, and found a spacious and elegant private room with wide French windows, some ink paintings on the wall, and a faint bit of sandalwood.

Zheng Heen ordered dishes according to the specialties, and Li Jin didn't have any taboos.The two finished their meal quietly, and then ordered a pot of weak tea.Looking at the busy traffic from a high place, it seems that I can also integrate into the romantic atmosphere with pink bubbles.

Zheng Heen feels that the two of them get along very well now, as long as he sits opposite Li Jin like this and chats with each other, he will already be very happy.

At about nine o'clock, Zheng Heen went out to answer the phone.

Seeing that he has not come back for a long time, Li Jin gets up and goes to the bathroom.On the way back, Zheng Heen walked towards him, holding a bouquet of roses in his arms with nowhere to hide.

The two looked at each other, feeling awkward for a moment.

As Li Jin approached, Zheng Heen lowered his head in embarrassment, his ears were a little red, "I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to bump into it...for you, Li Jin." He raised his head and smiled and handed the bouquet to Li Jin stood in front of him, looking at him expectantly.

"Heen..." Li Jin hesitated, "I can't accept it."

"I don't mean anything else." Zheng Heen took Li Jin's hand directly, and gave him the flower, "Look, thirteen roses represent friendship." Naturally, "And you forget, today is New Year's Eve in China. I don't have anything to give you, flowers are my heart."

Li Jin had no choice but to think, there is no one who would send roses during the New Year, holding the bouquet in a daze, suddenly remembered the scarf around his neck.

Zheng Heen had already returned to the private room, took both of their belongings, and left the hotel together.

Li Jin followed behind him, thinking about how to politely refuse all of this again, when Zheng Heen suddenly stopped in his tracks.Following his line of sight, he saw a very familiar figure from the back five meters away.

"Ah Liang, let's go." Wang Haodi's voice came from the side.

But Zhong Liang turned back in response, before seeing Wang Haodi, he grabbed the delicate red rose in Li Jin's hand.
