coexist in vain

Ward

Du Yichen had a very light dream.That feeling is similar to Zhuang Zhou's Dream Butterfly.

In the dream, he seemed to have turned into an illusory fog, or that fog had turned into him.The wind passed through his chest mercilessly.The place where the wind pierced through the hall hurts.With the wind he was driven to the west, closest to the sun.The sun scorched his light veil.Bright red blood oozes out, dyeing him the color of Huoshaoyun.

He looked at the jubilant crowd on the ground, and found himself inside.

The one himself was holding a wine glass, talking to the two waiters with a smile, then ran out of the venue, waited for a long time and then suddenly ran back.It was noisy and the lights were dim.The muzzle of the man's gun gleamed in the night.

The ingenious thing is that when he looked down, he realized that the waiter, Jiang Yi and the unnamed man were standing in a straight line.After throwing Jiang Yi down by himself, the waiter's bullets had nothing to stop him, and went straight towards the man.

This all happens in just a few seconds.

boom--

Another dull pain in the chest.

Du Yichen was awakened by the pain, and suddenly found himself lying in the hospital with an infusion tube inserted in his right hand.He tried to move his body, but his left chest and his left arm were as heavy as lead, and he couldn't lift it up.

Sunshine faintly seeps in from outside the curtains, and birdsong flickers in and out.

He guessed it should be the next morning.

"Hey, don't move around." He was suddenly stopped.

Du Yichen turned his head, it was Jiang Yi.He was lying on the sofa beside him, his expression was very tired, and his eyes were bloodshot.The fine suit is wrinkled from being huddled on the sofa.God knows a few hours ago, he was teaching people to sit up straight and not wrinkle their clothes.

"Be careful of the second tearing of the wound." Jiang Yi jumped off the sofa and walked to the bed in a few steps, "I'll get you what you want. Water?"

After seeing Du Yichen nodding, Jiang Yi immediately took a glass of warm water.

"Be careful, I'll help you." Jiang Yi put a pillow behind him, carefully half-hugged him, and sat down against the pillow.

Du Yichen's movements were very laborious, and he didn't even have the strength to hold a glass of water.Jiang Yi had no choice but to let go of his worth, and held up the glass without complaint, brought it to Du Yichen's mouth, and fed him water bit by bit.

After drinking the water, Du Yichen's complexion gradually became better, and his throat no longer felt dry and sore.He shook his head, indicating that there was no more water.Jiang Yi half hugged him again and lay down slowly, not forgetting to pull up the quilt.

"Do you have any discomfort?"

"No." Du Yichen tried to speak, but felt that dry voice was not like his own.

"Call me if you feel uncomfortable, I'll be here for the past two days." Jiang Yi smiled, "If I remember correctly, you are Du Yichen, right?"

"Yes."

"Thank you for saving me." Jiang Yi sincerely thanked, "After investigation, the person who attacked me was shot dead by a patrolling security guard on the spot."

"Security..." Du Yichen lowered his eyelids slightly, but secretly smiled.Security is Zheng Chenglie's usual shield.

"This time the injury is considered a work-related injury, and the company will retain your job. The company will be responsible for the hospitalization expenses. You don't have to worry about it. You can recuperate in the hospital." Jiang Yi looked at the infusion tube and raised his hand to slow down the flow rate. "Is this any better?"

"Thank you."

"The one who should say thank you is me." Jiang Yi looked at Du Yichen lying on the hospital bed, his expression became complicated, "I want to know, why did you save me at that time?"

He was a child born with a golden spoon in his mouth.There are many people who grow up in different shapes and sizes, who want fame and fortune, and use him to hurt him by all means.Why would this person risk his life?Is there a conspiracy?

Du Yichen looked up at him with some difficulty.There was a slight smile on his pale face, and he said softly, "Instinct."

"instinct?"

Jiang Yi's eyes gradually became deep, and then turned into a metaphorical emotion.

What kind of person has the instinct to stand up and sacrifice his life for others regardless of himself.

He stood beside his bed silently, seeing that he was sleepy again, and thoughtfully said, "Okay, go to sleep first. The doctor said you need to rest."

Du Yichen, who was feeling sleepy, didn't respond, thinking he had fallen asleep.

Jiang Yi checked the equipment carefully and made sure there were no unexpected signs before leaving the ward lightly.

He is a little tired.

This time the murder happened so suddenly, he felt powerless just to appease Zheng, an important partner, and with the pressure from the media and the police, he was even more helpless.Jiang Yi sat alone outside the ward, rubbing his temples tiredly.

The opponent was obviously well prepared. Not only did he choose the best sniping location, but he also took into account the retreat route and the scapegoat. He was really a master.Jiang Yi couldn't help thinking of Yu Wen.WIND, Yu Wen, who made a one-month contract with him and disappeared without a trace after the beach incident.

From this point of view, it is difficult to leave the relationship with KS this time.

What a pity, I just wanted to play with you.Jiang Yi took out his mobile phone, called up the information he had obtained at the beginning, and sent it silently.

When Du Yichen woke up, he didn't know how many days and nights had passed outside.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window, and the birds are singing melodiously.The clock on the wall indicated that it was nine o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Yi is no longer in the ward.Du Yichen closed his eyes and listened quietly, making sure that no one in the room dared to open his eyes.I do not know when the infusion ended.

Jiang Yi treated him very well.Preferential single wards, sofas, tea sets, even refrigerators and simple kitchen utensils are all available in the room.Du Yichen silently observed the room.

"woke up?"

"!" Du Yichen, who was struggling to sit up from the bed, was startled all over, and the injured part felt pain again.

"Who are you?" Du Yichen looked at him warily.

The visitor has a handsome appearance, with a hint of warmth in his brows, and looks very approachable.He still had porridge and a few light dishes in his hand.

"Nursing worker in the hospital. When Mr. Jiang is away, I will take care of you."

Not caring about Du Yichen's hostility at all, he took out the lunch box from the cabinet as if no one else was there, put the porridge and side dishes separately, served them with spoons and chopsticks, and sat beside his bed.

"Now that you're awake, let's eat something."

He smiled.The sun lightly melted into his pupils, giving him an indescribable warmth.

But Du Yichen was not so quick to believe in a stranger who had only appeared for a few minutes.

"Your current physical condition is not suitable for talking more."

He seemed to see what Du Yichen was thinking, stuffed a spoonful of porridge into his mouth, but still smiled warmly, "If you don't want to be exposed, DUST."

He knows he is DUST!This name is known in KS except for the second group.Alarm bells rang in Du Yichen's heart, and he took a mouthful of porridge in his mouth, neither swallowed nor swallowed.

"Don't worry, I didn't poison you." His laughing voice was as warm as sunshine.

"Who the hell are you?" Du Yichen, who had no choice but to be hurt and unwilling, had to sit halfway, allowing the other party to pick up vegetables and feed him porridge.

"A group of HOPE, Mrs. Li Heng."

A group of people.Du Yichen locked his eyes on him.

It seems that the smile is friendly, soft and weak, but it is very suitable for the job of a nurse.However, the people who can enter KS are not only as simple as they appear on the surface; they can also pass the final assessment and overcome obstacles, and enter the strongest group of characters, let alone those who can not be underestimated.

"Wait, you said your name is..."

"Mrs. Li Heng."

"HOPE..." Seemingly unbelievable, Du Yichen's eyes widened, "HOPE is still alive?"

"Why did I die?" Li Heng, who seemed to know that he would be surprised, asked without answering.

Impossible, it cannot be him.Three years ago he had...

Du Yichen looked at his face again and again, and made an assertion in his heart.

But when did the organization allow repeated code names?

"There are ghosts on the top, the group sent me to find out." Not shy away, Li Heng generously stated his purpose, "I believe you are the same."

"..." In fact, Du Yichen, who hadn't received any order from Zheng Chenglie, didn't speak. At this moment, he was injured. Even if he found an excuse to escape from Jiang Yi, he would only be a burden when he returned to the organization.Besides, there are too many strange things about this mission, the surprise attack, and he needs time to sort it out.Then, it would be a blessing in disguise to investigate Jiang Yi thoroughly while recovering from his injuries.Du Yichen's expression was sly.

"But let's get better first." Li Heng smiled too softly and put another mouthful of porridge into Du Yichen's mouth.The sun outside the window shrouded warmly on the two of them.

"How is it? Do you feel better today?"

It's Jiang Yi.

"Much better. Please take care of me."

"What trouble do you say, I do this for you as a matter of course." Jiang Yi looked at the nurse, "What did the doctor say?"

"Mr. Du's recovery is very good, as long as he stays in the hospital for a few months." Li Heng replied respectfully.

"That's good." Jing Yang turned to look at Du Yichen.

The nurse Li Heng left the ward very tactfully, and even thoughtfully closed the door for the two of them.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

"Ah."

"What to eat?"

"A little porridge, and some side dishes." Du Yichen, who was exhausted from talking too much with Mrs. Li Heng just now, couldn't help but feel a little tired.

"Want to sleep?" Jiang Yi carefully looked at his face.

"No."

Du Yichen felt that Jiang Yi in this appearance was a little different from the high-spirited Jiang Yi he had learned from the information or he had seen with his own eyes in the company.

"You must tell me if you feel uncomfortable." Jiang Yi was serious. After all, the other party was injured and lying here because of him.

"Understood." What is the tone of this coaxing little girl.

Seeing Du Yichen's solemn expression, Jiang Yi just took it as a touch of his bad memories, and easily changed the subject, "Your colleagues in the personnel department are very loving, and they jointly signed a letter requesting to visit, but I refused. Here , They even wrote a condolence letter to you."

Jiang Yi took out a piece of pink letter paper that was folded squarely from his jacket pocket and put it on the table.

"Thank you." Du Yichen nodded, watching him put the letter on the table.

Then...then...then Jiang Yi, who was always eloquent in the mall, ran out of words.

Jiang Yi suddenly found that he had nothing to do with this shy and introverted Du Yichen.He is not a partner in business, he can make jokes from politics and finance to entertainment gossip, no matter how good a group of people can drink at a table of wine, the lively scene is never cold.

Those are all glib guys.But Du Yichen was not.This annoyed Jiang Yi who couldn't find a common topic.

"Hello, it's time for the infusion." At this moment, the nurse pushed the medical cart to break the deadlock in the room.

"Please stretch out your left hand and put it beside the bed." The nurse spoke softly, and the actions of applying medicine, hanging the bottle and inserting needles were done in one go.

Jiang Yi watched Du Yichen who was receiving the infusion tightly pursed his lips, his face was still a little pale, and he looked helpless in his hospital gown.Maybe it's because I'm afraid of pain.Jiang Yi noticed that he was trembling when the needle was inserted into the blood vessel.

"When the infusion time is up, the nurse on duty will come to change the medicine. If you need anything else, please ring the bell." The nurse pushed the cart away politely, and there were two people left looking at each other in the room.

"Your body will feel cold during the infusion, should you lie down?"

"Okay. Trouble." Du Yichen also smiled and nodded towards him, but his body leaned back inadvertently when Jiang Yi stretched out his hand.It's not intentional, it's just a professional habit developed in those years, which makes the body instinctively resist the closeness of others.

"Although I have never taken care of anyone, I will be careful and not hurt you." Jiang Yi, who can make mistakes, could see his embarrassment.

"Sit up for a while, I'll put the pillow down." While speaking, Jiang Yi put an arm around Du Yichen's shoulder tentatively.After seeing that he was not so resistant, he gradually relaxed.With the other hand, he gently leveled the half-raised pillow, and then supported Du Yichen's shoulders with both hands, helping him to lie down slowly.

"How is it? Didn't it lead to the wound?"

He should have nodded without hesitation.But facing Jiang Yi, who was obviously jerky in his caring actions, Du Yichen silently swallowed the pain back into his stomach, and even forced a smile to comfort Jiang Yi.

"That's good." Jiang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, covered him with the quilt and obediently sat on the soft stool beside the bed. "Sleep if you want, I'm here."

"Ah."

With just a few insignificant movements and a few words of concern, Du Yichen felt that the ice in his heart began to soften gradually, and he slapped his chest like a wave.

Is this feeling called emotion?

Maybe it's because I'm too sick and vulnerable?Du Yichen laughed at himself in his heart.

After so many years of homelessness, I thought I had forgotten my longing for home and love.For a long time, I have been sick alone, and at the same time, I must always be on guard against the fish that cannot become an opponent in my sleep.How long has it been? At the moment when I was injured and hurt to death, I hope that there will be someone by my side after passing out.Whether that person is an enemy or a friend, Du Yichen thinks he will be grateful.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Yi who was using his mobile phone to handle official business.

His fingers are slender with prominent knuckles.And his fingertips have a slightly hot temperature, which can penetrate directly through the thin clothes and reach the cold skin.

That temperature was the beauty that once Du Yichen felt it, he was unwilling to let go.

"What's the matter, can't sleep?" Probably feeling Du Yichen's deliberately suppressed breathing, Jiang Yi raised his head and found that Du Yichen was still awake, and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for his behavior of staying in the ward.

"Sorry, did I disturb your rest?"

"I slept too much, I'm not sleepy now."

"Well, we can chat if you don't mind." Jiang Yi hastily replied to the assistant and put away the phone.

"It's okay, business is important." Du Yichen lifted his chin slightly, signaling Jiang Yi not to be too accommodating.

"It's nothing official. It's just that there was a shooting at the party that day, and there was a media that wanted to interview it. It would be better to let the assistant handle it. You know that the current media will catch rumors."

After hearing this, Du Yichen frowned slightly, "Interview...me?"

Unexpectedly, Du Yichen was so thoughtful, intelligent and intelligent.Jiang Yi opened his mouth to refute, but was defeated when his eyes met Du Yichen's eyes.The mouth admitted before the brain, "Well. But don't worry, I won't let them disturb you and your family, you just need to rest in peace and recuperate."

"Yeah." Du Yichen agreed without any meaning, and the expression on his face was suddenly faint.At the end, he added softly, "I have no family."

"Sorry." Seeing the subtle change in his expression, Jiang Yi knew that he must have said something wrong.

The two fell into a brief silence again.Jiang Yi didn't know how to speak again because of embarrassment, while Du Yichen closed his eyes, his mind was full of the long-lost dusty and dilapidated family.

His home, in the thin twilight, inside the window with soft light, inside the curtain of greenery and sea.His home, the topmost floor, is very close to the sky, and he can touch it with his hand.His home was empty, dilapidated and bleak, and his memory became thinner and blurred.

Unknowingly, silently, as soon as he opened his eyes, his home had already fallen apart.

"When you were young, there must have been many people playing with you, right?"

"Not a lot." Jiang Yi took a few seconds to think before slowly answering, "My mother was not around since I was a child. At that time, the family business was just in the initial stage, and my father didn't have time to deal with the company's affairs. accompany me."

"However, when I grew up and went abroad, I had many classmates." Jiang Yi continued to recall, "Someone went to class with me, had dinner, watched movies and danced."

"Sincere?"

Surprised that he actually cared about whether those people were sincere to him.Many images flashed in Jiang Yi's mind.In class, he sat alone in the last row of the classroom, and no one approached him. When eating, he was inexplicably full of people scrambling to introduce himself. My family is a certain company. When watching a movie, the two hands can never discuss the plot and eat popcorn together. Friends, when you are dancing, pick a group by yourself...

"...It doesn't matter." Jiang Yi shook his head to himself, "At least they are accompanying me in their own way. So it doesn't matter if they are not sincere."

"Yes." So he deserved to be cheated.

"What did you say? Sorry, I didn't catch you."

"I said, it's a good habit to be content and happy." Du Yichen tried to raise his voice, but accidentally pulled the wound, and couldn't help curling his lips.

Seeing his vivid expression, Jiang Yi couldn't help but smiled, but still asked with concern, "Are you all right? Does it still hurt?" He was about to reach out to ring the bell.

"Don't." Du Yichen firmly stopped, "The white coat is too annoying."

"Okay." Jiang Yi, who respected the patient's choice, got up and sat gently on the side of the bed, gently lifted the quilt with concern, "Let me see if there is any tearing of the wound."

"No." Du Yichen replied firmly.One hand was also unable to pull down the quilt because of the infusion, so he could only severely condemn Jiang Yi's indecent behavior with extremely serious eyes.

"Ahem." After confirming that the wound did not tear again, Jiang Yi slowly covered Du Yichen with the quilt, only then did he realize how ambiguous his actions were just now.

"I'm sorry." He bent over and apologized with a smile in his eyes.

The distance between the two is very close, so close that Jiang Yi can clearly see the fine hairs on Du Yichen's face, and so close that Du Yichen can feel Jiang Yi's breathing as long as he breathes vigorously.

"Sorry." Jiang Yi straightened up in a hurry, and explained helplessly, "I just want to see if the wound is bleeding, there is no other meaning."

Du Yichen looked at him with an expression of 'I believe it, I really believe it'.

"Really." Jiang Yi was serious.

"Go to sleep, I've talked for so long. Are you not tired?"

Just as Du Yichen was about to shake his head, he was interrupted by a series of words from Jiang Yi, "Okay, I know you are tired, thank you for chatting with me for so long, but you are now a patient. The doctor said that the patient needs a lot of sleep. Now, sleep. "

"The book says that communism is the source of a series of riots and social instability." After holding back for a long time, Du Yichen finally uttered a long sentence, instead of just nodding and shaking his head to answer.

Jiang Yi heard him argue in a low voice, and helped him pull up the quilt with a funny face, covering his shoulders tightly.

"Do you like reading books?"

"Gorky said that books are the ladder of human progress." Du Yichen accepted his care with peace of mind, and tucked half of his face into the quilt contentedly.

"It's better to have no books than to believe in books." Jiang Yi went to the window and drew the curtains, blocking the hot afternoon sun out of the window.

"I'll bring you a book when you recover from your injury."

"Really?"

"real."

"Sincere?"

"..." He stretched out his hand to press the corner of the quilt for him again, "Go to sleep."
