Chapter 44 The Breaking Point of Despair

Lin Zhinan forgot to bring an umbrella, and when he gritted his teeth and propped up his broken waist, he pushed open the office door, while the rain was still dripping down his head and body.

Bai Haoben was standing at the door, when he heard footsteps and turned his head, seeing Lin Zhinan's pale face, his originally anxious mood seemed to be poured with a barrel of gasoline, and his anger rose with a "bang".

He grabbed Lin Zhinan's arm, pulled him out of the office, and slammed the door behind him.

"Lu Yunqi hit you?" Bai Hao's voice was very excited.

Lin Zhinan moved his arm that hurt from being pinched by Bai Hao, and shook his head silently.

Bai Hao held Lin Zhinan's shoulders, "Then what are these things on you? Don't tell me it's your husband and wife's interest!"

The last sentence was very ironic. Lin Zhinan stared blankly at his toes and moved his Adam's apple, but he couldn't make a sound.

His throat hurts like it has been cut into countless holes by a knife, and blood is oozing out of it.

Bai Hao was so angry that he brushed his hair, turned sideways to look out the window, and stabilized his emotions for a while before turning around.

This time his voice was extremely calm, "I'll call him and I'll settle this matter."

Lin Zhinan raised his head suddenly, finally there was a gleam in his eyes, but it was fleeting.

Bai Hao couldn't stand it anymore, he took out his mobile phone and was about to call, but Lin Zhinan grabbed his wrist.

"I'm very tired, don't ask, okay?" Lin Zhinan's voice was hoarse, so low that he could barely hear it.

"Tackling work first..."

Bai Hao gritted his teeth, "I won't let him go."

Lin Zhinan took a deep breath, and there was a sharp pain in the depths of his brain. His fingers sank into the palm of his hand, and he said in an extremely weak voice, "Let's go in."

Bai Hao didn't move, Lin Zhinan saw his expression and knew it.

"... Did Fu Zexi say something?"

The attitudes of the executives of the head office were ambiguous. If he could go to the new company, Fu Zexi would definitely do whatever he could to climb up. This accident was simply a godsend opportunity for him.

"What did the higher authorities say?" Anticipating the result in advance, Lin Zhinan became calmer.

Bai Hao couldn't bear to tell Lin Zhinan the cruelest news, so he could only speak as tactfully as possible, "They are discussing a solution. I explained to the higher-ups that all responsibility lies with me, so you don't have to worry."

How could Bai Hao be responsible? Lin Zhinan knew what he had done, but a mistake was a mistake, even if it was a mistake made unconsciously, it was still a mistake.

The world of adults is full of cruelty, and this is not the first time Lin Zhinan knows about it.

"It's okay." Lin Zhinan went to pull Bai Hao's hand, but he avoided him. Lin Zhinan put away his fingers and forced a smile, "Thinking about the good, I've been in the company for so long, they can't possibly not want me..."

Bai Hao opened his mouth, but finally gave up on what he said.

"Go in," Lin Zhinan secretly bit his nipple, using the pain to keep himself awake, "Go in and wait."

Bai Hao still felt that he was holding a breath in his heart, venting it out made him look childish and immature, if he didn't vent it out, he was stuffy in his heart, causing his internal organs to ache.

He watched Lin Zhinan walking slowly towards the door with his waist supported, and when he was about to catch up, he saw Lin Zhinan fall to the ground like a puppet with a broken string, making a heavy muffled sound.

-

Lin Zhinan hasn't slept for such a long time, so long that he finished his life in a dream.

The dream ended with Lu Yunqi pushing his brother's wheelchair and the two kissing in front of his tombstone.

Lin Zhinan was squatting beside the two of them, yelling loudly to get out, don't dirty Lao Tzu's reincarnation path, but the other two couldn't hear them at all, they laughed happily, as if the dead one was a demon that hindered their love.

Isn't it just a devil? Brazenly occupying a man who likes his younger brother, and even controlling other people's lives, this is the act of a devil.

Only the death of the devil is a gratifying thing.

Lin Zhinan squatted beside the two of them, smiling and wishing silently, but when the figure of the two who matched well was gone, he secretly reached out his hand to Lu Yunqi's back.

Lu Yunqi was the first person he liked, and also the only one.

But not anymore, Lu Yunqi belongs to someone else.

In other words, he never belonged to himself.

Lin Zhinan didn't understand that he was obviously not a vicious and vicious person, but no one liked him, and he ended up in such a lonely situation.

Yes, birth is an original sin.

Lin Zhinan stared at their backs in a daze, and suddenly felt that it would be good if he died.

It's better to be a ghost who entertains oneself than to be a person who suffers and hates deeply.

Just as he was thinking this, a hand pushed him suddenly, and he fell back into the grave, breathing heavily and opening his eyes.

There was a flash of white in front of his eyes, Lin Zhinan squinted his eyes for a long time, and smelled the familiar smell of alcohol before he realized that he was lying on a hospital bed.

There was no one around.

His throat was so dry that he could burst into flames, he turned his head, there was nothing on the small table beside the hospital bed, only a single red button on the head of the bed.

Lin Zhinan held the bottle in one hand, he moved his free hand out from under the quilt with difficulty, and touched the red button in a strange posture.

After stretching for a long time, he managed to touch the red button. After pressing the button, the nurse's voice came quickly, but Lin Zhinan couldn't speak, and could only hold the receiver and panted heavily.

Half a minute later, there were footsteps outside the door, and a little nurse in a white coat hurried over.

"How am I?" Lin Zhinan typed a line on the phone.

The little nurse who was checking how much medicine was left in the bottle glanced at the screen, "After filling the bottle, take another temperature test, and you can leave the hospital if there is no problem."

Lin Zhinan thought for a while, and typed another line, "Who brought me here? Have you paid for the medical expenses?"

The little nurse looked at him and smiled, "You can't speak? What a pity... a Mr. Bai sent you here. The medical bills have already been paid, so don't worry."

Seeing that the little nurse thought she was dumb, Lin Zhinan didn't explain, but asked her to help bring him a bottle of water. The little nurse happily agreed, and when she came back, she had an extra bottle of purified water in her hand.

The little nurse wanted to say a few more words, but the instrument on her body rang and was called by patients from other wards, so she had to leave to work.

As soon as the little nurse left, the dead silence returned to the ward.

Lin Zhinan was half leaning on the hospital bed weakly, his lips were cracked and chapped, and he felt extremely painful when he moved even a little bit. He couldn't open the bottle cap with one hand, so he could only clamp the bottle between his breasts, and his unrestrained hand turned back. I used to unscrew the bottle cap, which is usually done easily, but today it seems to be possessed by a demon, and I can't open it no matter what.

Lin Zhinan rested on the pillow for a few minutes, because of hunger and illness, he no longer had the strength to move around at will.

The pain and despair from inside to outside made him almost die.

The phone vibrated suddenly, Lin Zhinan closed his eyes, and decided to give up twisting the bottle cap.

Pressing the phone, he was pleasantly surprised to find that it was a photo sent by his younger brother.

Thinking of his younger brother, Lin Zhinan felt that the buzzing in his brain seemed to be a little lighter, and his body was no longer so uncomfortable.

Click into the dialog box, and the unloaded photos look very blurry.

Before the photo was loaded, another sentence popped up below.

"Xiao Nan, I'm Aunt Song. Your friend came to see Xiao Ning. Xiao Ningfei asked me to take a photo for you."

Needless to say, the photo must have been taken by Aunt Song.

Lin Zhinan, who thought his younger brother's eyes had recovered, restrained his joy a little, and clicked on the photo casually.

The photo seemed to be taken standing at the door. When the photo gradually became clear, the corners of Lin Zhinan's slightly raised lips fell down, and his vision was blurred for some reason.

The pain surged through his brain like waves after waves, throwing his whole body around.

In the photo, Lu Yunqi was sitting on Lin Ning's hospital bed, looking at the sick boy affectionately, and seemed to have a thousand words to say.

The boy's face was pale with large sunglasses. Even though the pixels were poor, even through the screen, Lin Zhinan could feel the boy's happiness.

what is this?Lovers... Will they finally get married?

He knew that he should not be jealous of his younger brother, because he was in good health and could move freely, and he already had much more than his younger brother. Such jealousy would make him appear even more ugly and vicious.

But he couldn't help it.

Lin Zhinan put down his phone, put his hands on his heart, and pressed for a long time before he stopped the severe pain.

Now it's better, my brother's illness has been cured.

Lin Zhinan stared at the ceiling in ecstasy, forcing himself to think about the bright side.

He once suspected that the mysterious lover his younger brother was talking about was Lu Yunqi, but the facts proved that Lu Yunqi had not been in touch with his younger brother for many years, but now that Lu Yunqi has returned and found Lin Ning, does this mean that the two of them have a possibility again?

If my younger brother is really with Lu Yunqi...

Lin Zhinan clenched his heart tightly again, thinking against his will how to help his younger brother get rid of Lin Wei.

Not jealous, not jealous at all, Lin Zhinan kept telling himself in his heart that he shouldn't want what wasn't his own, and he shouldn't ask extravagantly. What he got was enough, so he should give it to his younger brother.

The phone vibrated crazily again, Lin Zhinan looked at his brother's profile picture on the screen lightly, swiped his finger, and hung up the phone.

"I'm in a meeting, it's not convenient."

He can only use this lame and common lie to deceive Lin Ning, so as to cover up his cowardice and helplessness.

Lin Ning sent a few voice messages, and Lin Zhinan opened them with trembling fingers.

"...Brother, have you seen my photo? Aunt Song said I took it for you. Brother Yunqi came to see me. I'm so happy..."

"Brother, I really didn't expect to meet Brother Yun Qi, he has become so mature, he is not the same as before!"

"He also brought me my favorite dessert. The Napoleon on North Street is delicious, but unfortunately I can't eat more, or I will finish it..."

"Brother, I like him so much, but I don't know if he will still like me..."

"Patta" the phone slipped from Lin Zhinan's hand and fell to the ground.

The voice was played automatically one after another, and Lin Ning's lively and innocent voice echoed in the ward, full of sincere and full emotions, full of admiration and joy.

For Lin Zhinan, this was tantamount to torture with a blunt knife sharpening his heart.

Lin Zhinan stared blankly at his pale fingers, he seemed to have lost consciousness all over his body, and he didn't even know when the medicine in the bottle was finished.

The little nurse guessed that it was about the same time. She didn't hear the patient calling her, so she walked in to check the situation. It didn't matter. The patient sat on the bed hunched over in a daze, and a large part of the blood returned from the needle on the back of his hand.

The little nurse was so angry that Lin Zhinan could only keep apologizing if she said she had never seen such a patient who didn't care about her health, but couldn't say anything else.

The little nurse saw that he was really uncomfortable, and there was no one by her side, so she sighed helplessly, and picked up the phone for him before leaving.

There was a message from another person on the phone.

It was Bai Hao. He said that he would be picked up from the hospital in half an hour, and asked what he wanted to eat. He treated him.

Like an exhausted traveler seeing an oasis after trekking in the vastness, when Lin Zhinan saw this news, his heart was not only warm, but also grateful.

He thought that the most blessed thing in his life was to have a friend like Bai Hao.

But he soon discovered that Bai Hao's message had been sent an hour ago. Looking at the time, it had already passed the agreed time.

Lin Zhinan casually dialed Bai Hao's number, but no one answered.

Lin Zhinan was a little flustered, dialed out again, hung up, several times in a row, the result was the same.

This kid Bai Hao is out of tune, he might be waiting for him downstairs.Thinking this way, Lin Zhinan left the ward and took the elevator downstairs, but he searched all the exits of the inpatient department, but he didn't see Bai Hao's idle figure.

This time it wasn't just flustered, Lin Zhinan inexplicably started to get scared.

After experiencing countless disappointments, he can no longer believe that he is lucky.

After getting in the taxi, Lin Zhinan dialed Bai Hao's phone again. The radio of the taxi was broadcasting the story of the truck driver's fatigue driving in the outer ring that caused the car accident. Following the busy tone of the mobile phone, the female announcer said in a straight voice: " …At present, the car accident caused a big fire, the firefighters are actively fighting the fire, the car was severely damaged, and the driver died on the spot…”

Hearing the bad luck, the taxi driver frowned and gave a "tsk" before changing the radio channel.

Lin Zhinan had nowhere to go, so he asked the driver to take him to the rental house where he used to live.

The next day, when he went to work, he did not see Bai Hao, and no one in the Bai family knew Bai Hao's whereabouts.

A week later, Lin Zhinan realized that what he saw in his despair was not an oasis, but a mirage.
