12 years zero soul

That day, the sky was gray and it had been raining non-stop since early in the morning. The rain fell quietly from the surrounding towering buildings, and passers-by walked quickly with umbrellas.

Qiu Ren didn't know how he came to the hospital when he appeared in front of everyone.All the people in black suits showed nervous expressions, and immediately looked around for movement.When it was confirmed that Qiu Ren was the only one coming, their tense shoulders began to relax slightly.

Several medical staff shuttled in the corridor, some of them were dressed in white, while others were dyed bright red.The only thing they have in common is the tight pace and the unsettling smell of blood.Qiu Ren stared blankly at a group of people walking around him, like a lost child standing in a dark forest, surrounded by towering giant trees with no end in sight, hesitating, not knowing where to go .

After a while, Tong Island and Su Fang came out from a ward on the left.Ignoring the warning gazes of others, Qiu Ren rushed to meet them, but when he faced Kirishima and the others, he could only cast anxious and fearful eyes.

However, Kirishima and the others turned a deaf ear and completely ignored him.The anxious voice on the phone before did not show any emotion after coming out of the ward.Kirishima and the others didn't want to look into anyone's eyes for the time being, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.Their expressions seemed to be left behind in that room, and the skin on their faces was scorched black like solidified wax, like two masks that would never move.

"What the hell does this happen?"

After finally forcing himself to ask, Qiu Ren immediately pursed his trembling lips, and a strong uneasiness surrounded him.

Ma Jian's face appeared in his mind, and Qiu Ren trembled when he thought that the other party might be on the verge of life and death.

Tong Zhi and Su Fang still didn't speak, and they didn't look up at Qiu Ren, they just turned around and walked back to the room silently.Even those who were anxious could see that Qiu Ren was using all his strength to suppress the panic in his heart.

Qiu Ren held his breath, and slowly approached the ward with staggering steps, leaving behind a string of water-stained footprints.

The moment a white light came into his eyes, with a "bang", a thin thread in his heart suddenly burst.Qiu Ren quickly leaned against the wall, completely unable to hear what Tong Zhi and Su Fang were talking about.The whole world was as quiet as if only he and Ma Jian were left lying on the hospital bed.

Qiu Ren stood dumbfounded.At this moment, what he saw in front of his eyes was like a misty landscape.There seemed to be trees everywhere that would grab you and eat you.

After finally coming to the hospital bed, Qiu Ren stared at Ma Jian's peaceful face for a while, then tilted his body, and fell down on the chair beside the bed.

"Crack" all of a sudden, making the already tense brain buzz.Qiu Ren seemed to feel the cold blood flowing through his body instantly, and his body couldn't stop shaking.

"He, Ma Jian, comatose?"

Qiu Ren was quite surprised, and repeated what Tong Zhi said just now word by word, but his eyes were fixed on Asami in front of him.

"The doctor said...caused a temporary coma...the hippocampus on both sides of the brain was damaged, and retrograde amnesia appeared...so...the memories of recent years..."

At the end of Kirishima's speech, Qiuren felt slightly dizzy, and the other party's voice passed through his mind intermittently like a slow motion replay.

Qiu Ren couldn't understand for a while, and after blinking a few times, he took a deep breath and said, "Are you sure it's him...is it Ma Jian?"

Kirishima nodded vigorously, but remained silent.

The flow of time was too slow, and Kirishima and the others thought that Akihito was too shocked to bear it.

Qiu Ren seemed a little hesitant at first, swallowed deeply, opened his mouth, and was about to say something, but found that his voice was choked there.

Sensing some kind of warmth rushing out of his body, Qiu Ren raised his head slightly, swallowed his throat deeply again, bent forward slightly, and then said slowly:

"...This bastard's life is really tough..."

With a hoarse voice, the tone was as gentle as talking to a child.

Under the astonished gazes of Kirishima and Su Fang, Qiu Ren brushed back the hair on Asami's forehead with trembling hands, and slowly slid his fingers along the contours of his cheeks, avoiding the place where the gauze was wrapped .

Qiu Ren's back is slightly arched, reminiscent of an old man with vicissitudes.The originally soft chestnut hair, under the rendering of the light, seemed to have a faint white flower, and was gradually torn into pieces——

Kirishima held a stack of documents in his hand, with a solemn and routine expression, only his brows were wrinkled deeper than usual, and his body was tense.

The headlights in the room were instantly focused on the eyes, almost dizzy, Qiu Ren was immersed in the collapsed world, and couldn't listen to Kirishima's eloquent explanation at all.

All Qiu Ren knew was that it was very cold this morning.When I woke up in the bed, my hands and feet were cold, and my toes were even slightly numb.He curled up in the quilt, hoping to gradually warm his feet.

However, the longer you wait, it seems that even the body temperature is taken away, and breathing becomes difficult.The body remained in the same posture until Kirishima and the others arrived, and Qiu Ren realized that it was already past noon.

"In the future, we will explain to you one by one, you..."

"Okay, you can deal with it."

Qiu Ren was sitting on the sofa in home clothes, his face looked exhausted.

"But--"

"You can't trust me anyway, can you?"

Kirishima was interrupted by Qiuren before he finished speaking.

Kirishima froze in place, speechless.

At this moment, a sudden knock on the door broke the awkward silence in the room.

Before Kirishima could react, Su Fang had already opened the door.He looked at Qiuren with a hesitant expression, and finally handed an opened letter to Kirishima.

The mailing address is a small village in Nara.When his eyes came to the house number and the sender's name, Kirishima put away his gentle expression until now.

"Tirishima?" Qiuren became inexplicably worried, "What are you looking at?" He was very concerned about the letter in Tongshima's hand, because it could make Tongshima have such a reaction.Maybe even Kirishima doesn't know how scary his own expression is now.

It was too late to change the distorted expression due to anger and killing intent, Kirishima turned his head, and his movements were stiff.Seeing Qiu Ren's suspicious eyes, he gave a "tsk" and turned his face away.

"It's nothing."

At this juncture, Kirishima still tried to hide the letter in his hand, which seemed a little pretentious.

Qiu Ren squinted his eyes, staring at Kirishima quietly, his clean eyes flickering on and off.

The two sides were at a stalemate, and at the end, Qiu Ren responded with a discouraged snort.

With half of his back turned to Qiuren, Kirishima handed it over with a face of reluctance, but he didn't intend to send it to Qiuren.

Qiuren walked around the sofa and came to Tongshima, and took the paper. Not long after, his body twitched, and his fingertips holding the letter trembled slightly, as if he was taking a deep breath.

Kirishima didn't stay any longer, turned around and planned to leave immediately.

"Don't kill them."

As soon as the words came out, Kirishima was stunned suddenly, he seemed to be able to feel how hot the two intense gazes from behind were.

"No! They—"

Originally, Kirishima was too lazy to deal with Qiuren, but just as he took a step, Qiuren blocked him.

"Please!"

Qiu Ren looked at Tong Zhi, the letter in his hand was tightly grasped, and the paper on his forehead made a rustling sound as it was squeezed.

Qiuren's attitude was very firm, which surprised both Tongzhi and Su Fang.Under Qiu Ren's eyes, there is not only unshakable stubbornness, but also some kind of deeper intention.

Time flowed slowly, they seemed to be hiding in the darkness, there was no sound, but they could only feel the gaze of the other party staring at him.

"Yes……"

Kirishima hesitated, but finally agreed.

He was not in a hurry to ask Akihito why, because Kirishima believed that this "reason" could only be for Mr. Asami——

Tong Island first exchanged glances with Su Fang, who nodded slightly, and then stood less than one meter away from Qiu Ren.

Qiu Ren stood in front of the balcony, staring into the distance with a bit of pain in his eyes, and his eyes were still slightly red.

Kirishima left Asami's residence and was heading towards the parking lot.When he came to the gate, Kirishima suddenly stopped and looked up.

Fragments of memories popped up suddenly.Deep in the ears, blood vessels gurgled.

Five years ago, Ma Jian signed an agreement under the watchful eyes of lawyers and relevant witnesses.When the formalities were completed, Kirishima remembered that Asami asked their confidantes to stay.

And said something--

("...As long as it is something Qiuren asks, you will agree...")

[Give me a moment to love you.Give me my whole life and send you away. 】
