Hold on, you can't bend!

As time passed, Zhang Nan slowly regained his sleepiness in the unusual silence of the other party, moved his shoulders a little, and finally let go of the arm around his neck.

Fu Yuzheng noticed the other party's sleepiness, and said helplessly, "Go to sleep."

"Hmm..." Zhang Nan responded, in a daze, and mumbled, "Did you get angry just now?"

"...No." Fu Yuzheng closed his eyes and pinched the center of his brows. It is impossible to be angry if you are angry. As long as Zhang Nan stops tossing about, it will be thankful that he can sleep peacefully.

Zhang Nan turned sideways, moved a little towards Fu Yuzheng, and said, "I'm just... I'm a little flustered that my tail suddenly disappeared, I just wanted to look for it, I didn't mean to... Anyway, don't be angry with me, brother. "

Fu Yuzheng: "..."

Okay.

As the drowsiness grew stronger, Zhang Nan finally asked when he was still conscious: "If you are really not angry, please sing me a song."

Fu Yuzheng was instantly relieved: "What, what?"

Zhang Nan stretched out two fingers, and pulled Fu Yuzheng's cuff under the quilt, as if nostalgic, and said softly: "When I was a small fish, I didn't have enough spiritual power, and I often encountered mermaids until I arrived. Half of the time, when I secretly hid in the shell at night and cried, my dad...will be the same as you are now, accompanying me and coaxing me to sing to me."

Although Fu Yuzheng was so sleepy, he still asked casually, "Why is your father coaxing you, and your mother?"

It was rare for Zhang Nan to be quiet for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, his voice was filled with a bit of aggrieved wry smile: "My aunt... She, she doesn't like me very much..."

Fu Yuzheng turned his head in surprise and looked into his eyes in the dark night.

Ever since Zhang Nan entered the "delusional mode" again tonight, his tone of voice, demeanor, and even his voice are very similar to the "mermaid elf" described in the book, pure and clear, but the sentence just now, But Fu Yuzheng could really hear some of Zhang Nan's own emotions.

He only knew that Qin Youzhi was his stepmother, but he didn't understand his childhood growth experience, so he couldn't judge easily for a while, thought for a few seconds, and asked desperately: "Do you really want to listen?"

"I want it!" A little pure joy was restored in the soft tone, Zhang Nan urged: "Hurry up, I'm waiting to sleep with my eyes closed and spit bubbles!"

Goddamn spit bubbles... Fu Yuzheng sighed silently, then stretched out his index finger to sweep Zhang Nan's eyelids, and said in compromise, "Are you ready?"

Zhang Nan: "Ready, GO!"

Okay, this is a high-level mermaid who has played King of Fighters... Fu Yuzheng closed his eyes weakly, and slowly hummed a low and steady tone, as if it really had the magic power of hypnosis.

Zhang Nan closed his eyes and listened quietly, only felt that the ballad was indescribably familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't tell when and where.

"The moon is bright, the wind is still, the leaves cover the window lattice, and the crickets are clanking, just like the sound of the strings."

"The sound of the piano is soft, the tune is sweet, the cradle is gently swinging, my baby, close your eyes, and sleep in that dream..."

The melody was gentle, and after repeated several times, it gradually weakened and stopped. Zhang Nan slowly turned his body, his eyes adapted to the darkness, and looked at Fu Yuzheng's sleeping face beside him through the dim and clear moonlight.

"It's amazing, I coaxed myself."

He smiled lowly, and then moved to the side. The fragrance of the after-bath lotion made people feel calm, and the drowsiness struck again, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Nan woke up in the sunshine of the room, the temperature of the air conditioner felt comfortable, he woke up on his back for two seconds, tilted his head, and the seat beside him was already empty.

The wound on his foot was no longer felt, he stepped on the slippers beside the bed, rubbed his eyes and went out the door.

In the living room, Fu Yuzheng was dressed casually, with loose sweatpants, a light-colored T-shirt, and a small box of fish food in his hand. He stood in front of the bathtub next to the TV, and turned around when he heard footsteps.

"morning."

"Morning... hey?" In my impression, Lawyer Ji always wears a well-tailored formal suit, with a bit of bookish air in his ability. He seems to have never seen him look so casual at home. He stayed for two seconds and couldn't help smiling. Said, "Brother, you dress like this...it's very fresh."

The cry of "Brother" almost made Fu Yuzheng startled again. He calmed down, pinched a few pieces of dried shrimp and fish food and put them into the fish tank. The well-raised silver dragon came smelling the fragrance, wagging its tail, with a proud expression on its face. Enjoy breakfast indifferently.

After feeding the fish, people have to be fed, Fu Yuzheng asked, "What's for breakfast?"

Zhang Nan stared at Shuiyinlong and opened his mouth slightly, but didn't answer for a while.

Fu Yuzheng was taken aback for a moment, holding the fish food bucket in his hand, and his heart was in a bad mood——Chang Nan now thinks he is a "mermaid", so seeing "the same kind" suddenly, will it have any unexpected impact on his cognition? ?

"you--"

"This, is it delicious?"

"..." Fu Yuzheng stopped speaking, his eyes flicked back and forth between Yinlongyu's instantly stunned face and Zhang Nan's eager eyes, struggling to organize his words.

how to say--

Whether it's delicious or not, the key is... the cost of this dish is a bit high, right?

"You..." Fu Yuzheng cleared his throat, and asked tentatively, "Would you like to steam or braise?"

Zhang Nan turned his gaze back, with a suspicious expression on his face. After a while, he mustered up his courage, pointed to the "Fish King" who had collapsed instantly in the fish tank with a confused face, and said softly, "Just... it eats that well, that's good." Do you want to eat?"

Fu Yuzheng: "..."

Fish food.

Silver Dragon King: "..."

Scared the fish to death.

It was not easy to give up Zhang Nan's idea of ​​"trying something new". He ate homemade sandwiches and milk for breakfast. After breakfast, he changed the medicine for the wound on Zhang Nan's foot. Fu Yuzheng said: "Come with me Go to the hospital."

Zhang Nan sat on the sofa and raised his head suddenly, wondering: "Hospital?"

"Yes." Fu Yuzheng replied, "In your current situation, we must go to Lin Jie to take a look."

Why did he fall into delusions again inadvertently, even though he was already conscious?The time to maintain a normal state is less than a week. Is this normal? What should be the follow-up treatment?And - how else does he need to cooperate?

Zhang Nan resolutely refused: "I won't go!"

"why?"

Zhang Nan resented: "Because the group of bad guys who dumped sewage into the sea said that if a mermaid is caught, they will be tied up and sent to the hospital for experiments!"

Fu Yuzheng: "..."

There is indeed such a plot in the book.

In the second half of the story, the villain accidentally discovered the whereabouts of the mermaid, and immediately recruited a fishing team to try to capture it. Under the double hidden dangers of ocean pollution and their own safety, the tribe of the protagonist "Ling Xing" was forced to migrate.

However, Doctor Fu sighed silently——

It's dancing again.

Fu Yuzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said seriously: "So, are you afraid that I will also take you to the hospital for experimentation?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Nan shook his head and replied: "You won't."

If there is only one person in this human world who he can completely trust, it is Lawyer Ji.

Zhang Nan said: "What if there are bad guys in the hospital? I don't want you to be hurt."

Fu Yuzheng was stunned.

This is not the line dialogue in this comic.

The original plot should be that the mermaid asked in a confused and uncertain way: "You don't know how to do it, right?"

But Zhang Nan directly blocked and ignored the doubt, and gave him an affirmative answer.

You will not hurt me.

I am afraid that you are in danger.

"Don't do the experiment." Fu Yuzheng's eyes flickered, and his tone suddenly softened after a while, "We are going for a physical examination, let the doctor check why your fish tail is missing, okay?"

In this way, the deceptive words he thought he would never say out of his own mouth came out so naturally. After finishing speaking, both Fu Yuzheng and Zhang Nan were stunned for half a second.

Zhang Nan's eyes were warm and moist, he thought for a while, and finally nodded.

If you want to go out, you can’t wear home clothes. It’s already hot summer, Fu Yuzheng finds out a casual short outfit that he usually wears when he’s not at work. The shorts and T-shirt are put on Zhang Nan’s long and thin limbs. Even if he is a size bigger, it’s not obvious , After tidying up, the two went out.

No matter which hospital there is no saying that "business is rare on Mondays", even on the first day of the working day, the outpatient hall is still overcrowded. Most of them were regular patients who came to prescribe medicine. There were not many patients waiting, and the patients waiting in the waiting area were all gone. He took Zhang Nan and pushed the door directly in.

Lin Jie was sitting behind the computer desk, and when he looked up, his face was full of "dumbfounded".

"Aren't you on vacation today?" Lin Jie got up from the chair, turned his head and saw Zhang Nan standing behind Fu Yuzheng, and then smiled, "Today is not a day for rehabilitation, why don't you come here gone?"

Zhang Nan blinked, but said nothing.

Lin Jie's brows became serious, he put down the thermos bottle he was about to fetch water in, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing." Fu Yuzheng said in a deep voice, "It's just worn again."

Lin Jie: "..."

"Let's do a simple understanding first." Fu Yuzheng fought back and pulled Zhang Nan to his side, "We'll talk about the detailed examination and treatment after we figure it out."

Lin Jie was surprised for only a second. After all, he is a psychiatrist, and it is impossible for him not to be mentally strong, so he raised his chin at Fu Yuzheng and said, "Follow the rules."

According to regulations, when psychiatric patients are undergoing psychological consultation or rehabilitation, other people are not allowed to be present. Fu Yuzheng nodded, turned around and patted Zhang Nan on the shoulder, and comforted him: "This is my friend, I...before... I told you, you may not remember, but it’s okay, you just need to know that he won’t hurt you, you don’t need to worry about it, I’ll wait for you at the door, can you do it yourself?”

Zhang Nan's thinking became chaotic and messy at this moment. The doctor Lin in front of him was indeed familiar, but he couldn't remember when and where he had seen him before, but he believed it with peace of mind when Ji Chen said so.

Seeing that Zhang Nan did not show any strong uneasiness or resistance, Fu Yuzheng felt relieved, went out of the outpatient room, sat on the bench in the waiting area, and called Zhang Mowen.

Half an hour later, the consultation in the consultation room ended, and it happened that Zhang Mowen and Qin Youzhi also rushed over.

The three of them entered the consultation room again, Zhang Mowen looked at his son who was beaten back to his original form within a week of waking up, his eyes were full of shock and sorrow: "Son?"

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Nan saw the parents who had heard the news, he was immediately overwhelmed with surprise: "Abba, Ama!"

This name...

Several pairs of eyes looked at Lin Jie at the same time. Doctor Lin cleared his throat, nodded and said, "That's what you saw. This time...although he fell into confusion again, it's different from last time."

Last time, Zhang Nan completely ignored his real life and interpersonal relationship at the beginning, but this time, although he still imagined himself as the protagonist of the comic, he automatically brought the relationship between real characters into it, deceiving the truth in the false, and the truth in the false .

No one expected such a situation. After everyone was silent, Qin Youzhi asked with red eyes: "So this time, his condition has improved, right?"

"Currently we can't make a conclusion." Lin Jie said, "The specifics can only be determined after a system evaluation test, but... the treatment must continue."

Zhang Mowen was silent for a while, stepped forward to support Zhang Nan's shoulders, and said: "Son, it's okay...Parents will accompany you, let's go, let's—"

Before the word "go home" came out, Zhang Nan took Zhang Mowen's hand first, with a nervous expression on his face: "Father, why did you come here? It's too dangerous! Hurry... hurry back to the sea before anyone finds out." go!"

Zhang's couple: "..."

"We are safe now." Qin Youzhi stood shoulder to shoulder with Zhang Mowen, held Zhang Nan's other hand, and said softly, "You too, when you are with your parents, no one can hurt you."

"No, no, no!" Zhang Nan refused San Lian, took a step back, and took the initiative to stand beside Fu Yuzheng who had been silent all along, "I can't leave yet, I have to help Lawyer Ji collect evidence, before we return to the deep sea, I have to be with him."

Yo, Lawyer Ji?

Lin Jie signaled Fu Yuzheng with his eyes——

Your new identity is quite foreign, huh?

Qin Youzhi said: "But Fu... Lawyer Ji still has to work, how can he take care of you?"

"Why not? Brother Ji took good care of me last night!" Zhang Nan raised his chin slightly, and replied with confidence: "Help me take a bath, blow my hair for me, and give me back when I sleep with my arms around me at night." Sing nursery rhymes!"

As soon as the words came out, the four of them fell into a strangely shocked silence.

With dazed faces, Zhang Mowen and Qin Youzhi couldn't believe their ears, and shifted their eyes to Fu Yuzheng dully, as if they were asking——

Sorry, our son just said... what did you do to him last night?

Fu Yuzheng also had an incredulous expression on his face, and slowly moved his gaze to the face of the "little mermaid prince" who swore in his vows——

Although, the fact seems to be so, but why do you always feel that something is wrong when you say it from your mouth?

And standing in front of several people, Lin Jie, who had just looked like a "doctor with a benevolent heart", almost hangs the words "You are worthy of it" on his forehead, and looks at his friend full of respect after being shocked——

How long has it been and what progress is this?

And - is this kind of bridge section really something I can listen to for free without paying?

**************

Zhang Nan refused to leave Fu Yuzheng at every step. Out of the consideration of stabilizing his emotions, several people discussed and finally decided to temporarily follow his wishes and "stay" at Fu Yuzheng's home. Zhang Mowen repeatedly apologized and thanked Afterwards, he told Dr. Fu to contact them at any time in case of any emergency.

Such a result... Fu Yuzheng caught a glimpse of Zhang Nan's clear eyes, and he trusted him wholeheartedly, and it was not easy to say if he refused.

I had no choice but to take it home—to raise a fish.

The next day, Fu Yuzheng ended his rest and returned to his normal work and rest. Before leaving the house, he asked Zhang Nan who was bending over in front of the fish tank and observing the silver dragon with great interest: "I'll be back at noon, can you stay at home by yourself?"

Zhang Nan nodded, but he didn't move, leaving only the back of Fu Yuzheng's rounded head, and replied, "Don't worry bro, I remember everything you said, I won't go anywhere, I'll wait for you at home."

Fu Yuzheng changed his shoes in the entrance, grabbed the car keys and sighed: "Then what is the most important thing I said, repeat it."

This was clearly the tone used to treat children, Zhang Nan finally turned around reluctantly, pointed at the fish food bucket next to the fish tank, curled his lips and said, "This shrimp is for Xiao Yin to eat, I can't taste it."

Little Silver: "..."

Then I can really thank you.

Fu Yuzheng was relieved, and before leaving the house, he said: "Yesterday you... Mom and Dad, brought over your personal clothes and some simple daily necessities, as well as... drawing boards and brushes. Kill time."

Zhang Nan let out a "huh" without any ups and downs.

It wasn't until the sound of closing the door that Fu Yuzheng's figure disappeared behind the closed door that the relaxation on Zhang Nan's face suddenly disappeared——

Damn it, I'm schizophrenic again?

In fact, he has been living in mist these two days. Although he logically believes that he is the protagonist of the comic book "Star Ocean", he has always been guided by a vague concept in his subconscious mind. Jumping is erratic, just like the soles of the feet can't step on the ground.

And just now, when Fu Yuzheng said the word "drawing board", he didn't know that it triggered his jittery nerve line, and his reason came back in an instant, and he woke up in an instant.

Zhang Nan poured himself a glass of ice water, sat down on the sofa and took a sip calmly, thinking, this time is a bit abnormal.

It is no longer completely trapped in a fantasy and cannot extricate itself, but a seamless transition between reality and comics!

So, what now?

They have already "entered the room" and checked in smoothly. At this time, "check out" temporarily...isn't it appropriate?

When Baobuqi, he will be confused again, and then he will come back to live again—doctor Fu will throw him into the fish tank to feed "Little Silver", right?

and--

Zhang Nan held the water glass, his eyes wandered over Fu Yuzheng's tidy home, and finally fell back on the circle of ripples on the mouth of the glass in his hand... Ask yourself, he is really a little... reluctant to leave.

Put the cup back on the tea table, Zhang Nan leaned his head back on the soft back of the sofa, and sighed long.

It's easy to talk about it when it's chaotic, even if he did something out of line, Fu Yuzheng probably wouldn't bother with him when he thought about his illness, that's why some people from before picked him in, applied medicine and bandaged him, and ...that night's embrace and sleep.

But right now, his mind is clear, but he himself can't ignore the most real feeling in his heart——

Why after waking up from an illness for the first time, when facing Fu Yuzheng, apart from thanks and apologies, why did he also have inexplicable panic and palpitations?

And at this moment, what is he struggling with alone?

Those reliance and trust are really just based on the setting of the comic character "Ling Xing"?Beyond that, are there any genuine feelings that he can't help but feel?

Zhang Nan covered his eyes weakly with one hand, covering his ears and stealing the bell, as if mocking himself——

Dude, your situation is a bit dangerous.

The noon time can be regarded as a relatively free time in the hospital. Fu Yuzheng calculated the time and showed up at Lin Jie's office before get off work, blocking the people who were going to the cafeteria for food behind their desks.

Yesterday afternoon, Lin Jie gave Zhang Nan another comprehensive assessment. Fu Yuzheng didn't bother him, and said directly, "Has the result come out?"

"Come out." Lin Jie sat back on the chair, and was delayed in order to seize the opportunity to queue up for dinner in the cafeteria. He looked depressed: "But I can't show it to you."

Of course Fu Yuzheng knew the rules, he said, "I just ask, is it getting better or worse?"

"It's getting better." Fu Yuzheng is also one of the parties involved. As long as he doesn't violate the regulations and professional ethics, Lin Jie has nothing to say to him. "Compared to the last evaluation, his scores have improved. And the test status is stable."

"That's good." Fu Yuzheng sighed inaudibly, nodded and asked, "How long will the second stage of treatment take?"

"This is really uncertain, it still depends on his specific situation."

This question is tantamount to asking for nothing, but Lin Jie still gave him a reassurance: "It should not be longer than the first stage."

That is not longer than two months.

Fu Yuzheng's brows loosened slightly, and Lin Jie suddenly felt emboldened, and smiled maliciously: "I've told you everything you want to know, can you ask me what I want to know now?"

"No." Fu Yuzheng turned his face mercilessly, turned around and left, "Today there are marinated chicken legs in the cafeteria, and we won't be able to get them if it's late."

"Hey! Why are you so boring!"

Lin Jie chased after him, and the corners of the two white coats curled up into the same white arc, "No... just what he said yesterday, taking a bath, applying medicine, drying his hair and putting him to sleep, what's going on! Hey! You're not really—"

The footsteps of the person in front of him stopped abruptly, and Lin Jie stopped abruptly, the bridge of his nose almost hitting the load-bearing wall.

Fu Yuzheng turned around, his eyes were deep and fixed, and his tone was low and calm: "Really what?"

Lin Jie: "Uh...just, just that..."

Fu Yuzheng said: "He is a patient, he has the right to be confused and unconscious, but I am not."

Lin Jie was speechless for a moment.

Fu Yuzheng's closing statement: "Especially when the other party has no realistic self-awareness, if I have other thoughts, say something or do something, it will not only be unfair to him, but also disrespectful."

"You..." Lin Jie laughed and said, "This is serious, you are not a psychiatrist, don't impose our professional requirements on yourself..."

"It's all the same." Fu Yuzheng walked to the door of the elevator car, pressed down, and replied during the wait: "Even if there is no identity restriction, even if it is just a normal communication between people, the most authentic relationship between the two parties should be followed." thoughts and wishes."

The elevator opened, and he stepped into the compartment door while Lin Jie was in a daze. A second before the door closed automatically, Lin Jie suddenly asked, "Hey, why are you going after this order, don't you go to the cafeteria together?"

"No." Fu Yuzheng's lingering voice disappeared behind the elevator door, "Go home and feed the fish."

The hospital does not have a long break at noon. Although there is no deputy director Fu Yuzheng on duty in the department, he has never been home at noon before. The recovery of the treatment began, and the noon was filled with the "love lunch" of the little artist, and who would have imagined that now the feng shui will change, and he would rush home from get off work just to feed a "mermaid".

The road conditions were good at noon, and Fu Yuzheng was only 10 minutes away on his way home. When he got out of the elevator and opened the door, and entered the entrance, he was suddenly taken aback.

Yesterday evening, Zhang Mowen sent a lot of Zhang Nan's clothes and daily necessities. The suitcases and handbags were just piled up in the corner of the living room, but now, the occupied space is empty. Fu Yuzheng changed his shoes and walked into the room. Hearing the hum of the range hood, he stopped not far away, and saw a figure bathed in the prosperous sunlight.

Zhang Nan turned his back to the kitchen door, and was holding a shovel to stir-fry in front of the gas stove. The aroma of home-cooked dishes leaked a little, but it was still a familiar smell.

Fu Yuzheng breathed a sigh of relief silently, and suddenly felt a little full in his heart.

He walked into the guest bedroom without disturbing Zhang Nan, only to find that in the past half a day, Zhang Nan had sorted out his belongings and tidied them up. He opened the door of the wardrobe that was vacant, and there were hanging clothes that he had sent over. and loungewear.

Turning back to the living room, Fu Yuzheng discovered that the clothes Zhang Nan was wearing were still the ones he wore that night.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhang Nan paused, turned off the fire and turned around, seeing the person standing behind him, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Brother, you're back."

"I'm back." Fu Yuzheng approached and looked at the pot, with some surprise in his tone: "You... know how to cook?"

In fact, what he wants to ask is - do you still remember how to cook?

"Yes." Zhang Nan nodded, turned around and took out a plate from the kitchen cabinet, put the dishes on the plate, and said softly: "Although... I don't know when I learned this human skill, but it is very easy. It’s amazing, as soon as you walk into this room, it’s like you know what you’re going to do and how you’re going to do it.”

——Well, fortunately, I haven't lost my ability to watch the house.

After Fu Yuzheng was surprised, he felt a little funny again, took the shovel from his hand, and said, "I'll do it."

Zhang Nan didn't argue with him, he went to get the bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table naturally.

I thought I was going home to feed the fish, but unexpectedly, the fish milked me. The two sat at the dining table and ate separately. The familiar dishes and the familiar taste, compared with before, everything seemed different, and everything seemed different No change.

However, the "mermaid prince" has evolved into a "snail boy", at least he can take care of himself when he is alone at home, and Fu Yuzheng finally feels relieved.

After lunch, there was still some spare time. Fu Yuzheng put the dishes in the dishwasher to clean and disinfect, and after tidying up the kitchen counter, Zhang Nan called him in the living room: "Brother, I have something to ask you."

Fu Yuzheng dried his hands and walked to his side, "What's the matter?"

The weather was hot, and the water dispenser was kept cold for a long time. Zhang Nan poured two glasses of ice water and put one in Fu Yuzheng's hands. He seemed to be asking and flattering: "Can you take me to your... that office this afternoon?"

Of course Fu Yuzheng knew that the "firm" he mentioned was the law firm where Ji Chen worked in the book. He didn't comment, but got up and took the glass of ice water Zhang Nan was holding in his hand, and went to the water dispenser to refill it. After changing to a warm cup, I asked, "What are you going to do?"

The cold feeling in the palm was gradually dissipated by the warmth, Zhang Nan was stunned for a moment, and replied: "I want to take a look at the case files you mentioned... see... what other key evidences can I help you with?" .”

Fu Yuzheng: "..."

Although it's a good intention, but in fact... I don't have those things in my office.

"Is it inconvenient?" Without approval, Zhang Nan was a little disappointed, "I stayed and refused to leave with my parents just to help you, but now I can't help you with anything, I... "

Fu Yuzheng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly asked: "It's nothing inconvenient, it's just—"

Zhang Nan: "Just what?"

Fu Yuzheng: "Are you sure you know the characters of our human world?"

"..." Zhang Nan was stunned, and was instantly speechless after being asked for a while.

— careless.

*************

Zhang Nan's wish to go to the law firm to investigate and help was not fulfilled, so he calmed down.

The nature of a doctor's job is to keep busy. Fu Yuzheng used to be a "desperate Saburo" work style. During this time, because there was an "uninvited guest" at home, he was forced to gradually adjust his work rhythm. As long as there is no sudden In unexpected situations, basically commute to get off work on time and clock in to go home.

And after Zhang Nan was negative for two days at the beginning, his mentality gradually calmed down. When Fu Yuzheng went out early and returned late, he also learned to find fun in human daily life.

During that time, he was like an ignorant child. Under the guidance of Fu Yuzheng, he relearned to use all household appliances, and to his surprise, one day he accidentally opened the When reading a book, he found that he could understand human Chinese characters!

Zhang Nan held the heavy hard-shell book, ran from the study to the balcony, and shouted in surprise: "Brother, brother!"

Fu Yuzheng's hands watering the flowers trembled in fright, put down the watering can, and said speechlessly, "What's wrong?"

"This, this!" Zhang Nan stood still, still a little out of breath, raised the thick book in his hand to his eyes, and said in disbelief, "I know your characters!"

Fu Yuzheng was slightly taken aback.

"Brocaisarea... controls the production... of intelligible speech...?" Zhang Nan paused, his tone difficult and obscure, and after a sentence, he raised his eyelids and looked at Fu Yuzheng, desperately saying: "I...although I seem to know each other, but... this what does it mean?"

What's the meaning?Fu Yuzheng endured a smile and took away from his hand the professional book that could be used as a brick for self-defense, "Neurobiology——From Neuronto Brain", a basic book for neurosurgeons. Fu Yuzheng's book is the original English version, don't worry. It is said that the little artist is in the period of schizophrenia, even if he is in a normal state, a layman who reads this kind of medical professional book will directly doubt the good life.

Zhang Nan murmured: "These words... are different from our usual conversation."

"It's not the same." Fu Yuzheng picked up the watering can and stuffed it into his hand, with a hint of a leaked smile in his voice, "Our human language is profound and profound. After you have been an honest person for a few more years, probably You'll know what that means."

The book in his hand was inexplicably replaced with a watering can, so Zhang Nan had no choice but to water the flowers to vent his anger: "Then you can find a few books that I can understand now, and when I understand your extensive and profound language and culture, I will be able to understand the case files." Yes, I can help you when the time comes, and—"

Fu Yuzheng came back from putting the book down, and asked calmly, "And what?"

Zhang Nan lowered his eyelashes slightly, and his side face was haloed by the warm orange-yellow sunset glow. He suddenly felt wronged, and said softly: "Besides, if the case is over as soon as possible, I can go back to the tribe earlier, and you Can... Get rid of my big trouble sooner."

"You..." Fu Yuzheng was at a loss for words, and after a while, he said in a low voice, "I didn't think about it that much."

Zhang Nan's eyes reflected the bright clouds outside the window, and there was a strange gleam.

Fu Yuzheng looked down at the flower pot and asked, "Want to go back to my parents?"

"Also...it's okay."

"Then get well soon, but don't worry, it doesn't matter even if the process takes a long time, I don't think it's a trouble if you're here."

Zhang Nan kept watering the flowers, and it took him a long time to recover from the shock: "I... what's wrong with me?"

"..." Sure enough, it was not on the same frequency, Fu Yuzheng sighed: "The tail suddenly disappeared, and there was no way to return to the sea. Isn't this a disease?"

Zhang Nan: "!!!"

It makes sense!

"So, you took me to see that Dr. Lin regularly, and asked me to take medicine on time, all because of my tail?"

—Actually for your brain.

Fu Yuzheng did not change his face, and nodded calmly: "Of course—hey, this potted flower is going to drown."

Zhang Nan's hand paused, the continuous flow of water stopped abruptly, and the watering can was left at his feet with a "boom". Before Fu Yuzheng could react, he hugged him forcefully.

How many hugs is this?

Fu Yuzheng was in a trance for a moment, he couldn't remember clearly.

"Brother." Zhang Nan buried his face in Fu Yuzheng's shoulder, his muffled nasal voice was filled with emotion that could not be ignored: "Thank you."

The setting sun poured over the balcony from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and two figures hugging each other were engraved beside the flower stand, warm, warm, and quiet. Fu Yuzheng slowly raised his hand and patted Zhang Nan's thin back: "You Just be good."

"Don't worry, you!" Zhang Nan raised his face from the hollow of his shoulders. He was obviously a young man in his 20s, but on such a cheek that was smudged by the gentle sunset, there was a pure and clear sense of youth between his eyebrows and eyes. With a clean and clear smile, he said, "As long as the fish tail is found early, I'll come and you too!"

Fu Yuzheng: "..."

After nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Nan was ordered to wash up and go to bed by Fu Yuzheng, who was aging ahead of schedule. With half-dry hair on his back, he knelt on the bed and said, "Brother, are you really only 28 years old? Do young people of you humans go to bed so early?"

Fu Yuzheng took back the thin quilt that had been dried during the day from the balcony, and with a wave of his hand, the quilt that was still soaked in the soft breath of the sun was directly covered on Zhang Nan's head. Zhang Nan shrank in the afterglow of the sun, and heard Fu Yuzheng say: "I can't compare to you, a hundred-year-old mermaid, feel less."

"..." Zhang Nan tore off the quilt covering his head, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "At my age, I am still young among our tribe! And there is a time difference between us and you humans, so early... …I can not sleep……"

In fact, it is just anxiety and insomnia, and has nothing to do with the diversity between species.

Fu Yuzheng asked, "Have you taken any medicine?"

"have eaten."

Then just wait for the medicine to take effect, so Fu Yuzheng pointed to a Chinese-English double-translation professional book that Zhang Nan had placed next to his pillow at some time, and said: "If you can't sleep, read more characters to help you sleep. "

"Hey you..." Zhang Nan was speechless, "So, I can't have the nursery rhyme treatment again? I... still want to sleep with you, okay?"

"No." Fu Yuzheng moved his index finger hanging by his side, and said calmly, "Nursery rhymes don't match your identity as a hundred-year-old mermaid."

Zhang Nan opened his mouth and was about to continue to refute when Fu Yuzheng's cell phone in his pajama pocket rang suddenly. He took out the phone and glanced at the screen. It was an overseas video.

Zhang Nan asked curiously, "Who is it so late?"

"No one." Fu Yuzheng raised his chin at him, "I'll answer the phone, you go to bed early." After speaking, he turned and left the guest room, closing the door halfway behind him.

There was only one bedside lamp on in the guest room. After the door was half closed, the room was even more quiet. Sitting on the bed, Zhang Nan could vaguely hear the conversation in the opposite bedroom even though it was halfway across the corridor.

Gradually, Zhang Nan Junxiu frowned.

He didn't know who called Lawyer Ji, but he could hear his gradually falling mood from Ji Chen's cold response.

Zhang Nan walked to the door curiously, and put his ear close to the remaining crack of the door.

The door of the master bedroom on the opposite side was open. Even though he and his son hadn't seen each other for half a year, Fu Xueyan's tone was still serious, and he refused to move lightly, revealing the slightest thought.
