Fire to the Abyss

Xia Yan and Liang Song had to come out of the West Branch factory in full, and rushed directly to the hospital where Zhong Qing sent them.Not long after, the West Branch Factory collapsed with a loud explosion, leaving only ruins, and all traces of evil were hidden in a large area of ​​bricks, tiles and gravel.

On the way to the hospital, Xia Lin succinctly explained the reasoning process on the phone, and briefly explained the encounter with the discovery of the clues: "It's very simple, the puppet doll I found in the clock tower and the one you found in the winery are in the same place. Looking at it together, I pointed to a painting of the clock tower, and the color of that painting and the shape of the fluorescent paint reminded me of another painting called "Life" that I discussed with Zero. He said at that time Will choose to be born as a red rose, so cut off the black thread and leave the red thread to be born."

Xia Yan looked puzzled, so: "What thing? What painting? What red rose?"

Xia Lin replied very uncooperatively: "I will explain these details later. Oh, and there was a small explosion during the process of finding clues. Brother Lu Yuan was injured. You'd better come and see."

After finishing speaking, before Xia Yan's life-threatening series of questions started, he ruthlessly hung up the phone.Only then did Liang Song remember that he had forgotten to tell Xia Yan about his younger brother, so he hurriedly asked his acquaintances on the special police side to inquire in detail, and only then did he understand the general situation - the two of them hid in time and the explosion was not powerful. None of the injuries were serious, except that the rich-looking man had a head injury and a few stitches.

It's really not a big deal to hear it like this. In addition, Lu Yuan still has time to send a message to report his safety, so Xia Yan didn't care too much. He guessed that this person will be alive and well after a few days of recovery, and he is another good hand to deceive ignorant girls. .

When the two arrived at Zhong Qing's ward, Yang Ming and a few colleagues were guarding the door. When Yang Ming saw Xia Yan rushing over in a hurry, he got up and stopped him: "Captain Xia, the doctor said that the situation is stable. Asleep, Su Yu is with me inside."

When Xia Yan heard that Su Yu was with him inside, he was at a loss for a while, but after a while, he realized and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yes, yes, Su Yu should be with you...Let me take a look at the head office quietly, shall I?"

Yang Ming looked at Xia Yan's embarrassed face and sighed, and silently opened the door of the ward for him.

Xia Yan looked through the crack of the door, it was difficult to see Zhong Qing's face clearly due to the limited field of vision, but she could clearly see Su Yu sitting beside the bed, with one hand supporting Zhong Qing's wrist, the other gently Gently caressing the bruises on the wrist, the movements are gentle and careful.

Xia Yan gently closed the door: "Liang Song, you stay here, I'll go see Xia Lin first."

After finishing speaking, he walked straight towards the elevator entrance. Yang Ming looked at him a little worriedly, and followed him with Liang Song's tacit consent.

Xia Yan originally thought that he would see Lu Yuan lying on the bed and screaming at him in pain, but he didn't expect that he didn't wake up at all, his head was wrapped in thick gauze, and he was lying motionless on the hospital bed. In his sleep, his brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had fallen into some kind of oppressive and terrifying nightmare.

Xia Yan couldn't help but reached out and poked lightly between Lu Yuan's brows, trying to smooth out those brows with physical methods, Xia Lin kindly explained: "It's been like this all night, it's useless, I haven't woken up since I sent it. Pass."

Xia Lin was fully dressed, standing upright as if nothing happened, and the quilt on the hospital bed was neatly folded, as if she was ready to be discharged from the hospital at any time.If it wasn't for the small movement of holding his waist with his right hand, Xia Yan might have really thought he was fine.

Xia Yan looked at Lu Yuan, who seemed to have the word "pain" written between his brows, and then looked up at Xia Lin. Feeling a little stuffy in his heart, he sent Yang Ming to find a doctor to understand the situation, and pressed Xia Lin back to the bed with his own hands. On the hospital bed, he dialed Xu Luo's phone in front of him.

Xia Lin lost his composure: "Xia Yan, why are you calling him?"

Xia Yan's face was gloomy: "I can't control you, I can only find someone who can control you."

Since the relationship with Xia Lin has eased, Xia Yan can be regarded as obedient to his younger brother. Although he has a violent temper, he tries to be pleasant when talking to his younger brother. Xia Lin turned coldly.But this time it seemed to be different. Although Xia Yan's face was not scary, his tone didn't fluctuate at all. Xia Lin accurately read a message from it - he really made his brother angry.

Xia Lin obediently sat by the bed and waited for Xia Yan to finish making the phone call, drooping her head and preparing for a long-lost lesson.

Xia Yan stood on the edge of the bed and looked down at the back of his younger brother's head, concentrating on his emotions and preparing to start a lecture - this is the special posture for the brothers to lecture, Xia Lin also looked at it from this angle, and looked a little more obedient, there is no way, who let the younger brother What about three centimeters taller?

It's just that what Xia Yan saw was not only the well-behaved back of his head, but also the corner of the gauze exposed from his collar, some untreated small scratches on the back of his hands, and of course, his obviously pale face.

Xia Yan's well-organized language was stuck in his mouth, and he couldn't utter a syllable for a long time. In the end, he only took a few deep breaths and called out slowly: "Brother."

This sentence of "brother" with complex emotions seems to contain a thousand words, Xia Lin raised his head subconsciously, looked into Xia Yan's deep eyes, and said solemnly: "Brother, I'm sorry, I was too impulsive, and even got involved with Brother Lu Yuan... "

Not only impulsive, but also self-righteous and reckless. If Lu Yuan hadn't reacted quickly enough at that time, the place where they are lying now would not be a hospital bed.

It's just that Xia Lin couldn't say the second half of the sentence. If he knew that the two of them had been in such a dangerous situation, Xia Yan might do something.

It is rare for Xia Lin to open his mouth to apologize. Xia Yan was a little dazed for a moment, but after a while, he pretended to be majestic and said: "I know I was wrong, dare you next time?"

This sentence has a rising tone, and Xia Lin knew that my brother was settled by his words as soon as he said it.

"Don't dare again." Saying that, Xia Lin showed a bright smile at "Paper Tiger Flame", but forgot that there was a piece of gauze on his face when he was injured. This smile was not only distorted, but also touched the wound, hurting Make him grin.

Xia Yan's high-cold attitude could not last for three seconds in front of Xia Lin. When he saw him hurt, he felt pain too. He leaned down with pity on his face, and his tone softened: "Baby, don't wait until your face gets better." Just don't laugh, it's best not to say anything, so as not to leave scars, what a pity such a handsome face has scars..."

"It's okay to talk—brother, the homeless people on the street don't even need your clothes, take them off and wear mine."

Before Xia Yan entered the ward, he just patted off the sticky ashes from his hair, washed his face hastily, so that his facial features would not be covered with plaster so that he could not see clearly, his coat was really helpless, the clothes inside were torn into a vest, I can't take it off directly because of the view, so I can only wear it like this.

"It's okay, I can't fit your clothes."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Ming pushed the door open and came in: "The doctor said that Xia Lin's trauma is not serious, you can go back, hang water every day to change the dressing, and check the back injury after a month. Brother Lu..."

Yang Ming's tone paused, Xia Yan immediately urged: "What's wrong with Lu Yuan? Tell me quickly!"

Yang Ming sighed, and continued: "Brother Lu suffered a concussion due to trauma to his brain, and he needs to be observed for a while. Captain Xia, please contact his family members. It's best to find someone to take care of him here..."

"Family?" Xia Yan repeated softly, his stepmother and younger brother who were incompatible with each other flashed through his mind, and he shook his head, "Let me take care of him here."

It's unimaginable that Xia Yan is busy taking care of Lu Yuan, Xia Lin seriously doubts that he will delay Lu Yuan's recovery process: "...Brother, why don't I do it, brother Lu Yuan's injuries are all because of me. "

"Forget it, you yourself are still a sick patient. You didn't like the smell of the hospital when you were young. It has nothing to do with you. I asked him to go..." Xia Yan suddenly thought of something when he said this, and cut it off abruptly. Stop talking, wiped his forehead, and then said, "In short, leave Lu Yuan to me, Xia Lin, when Xiao Xu comes, you can go back with him to recuperate, and do the transcript in a few days—Yang Ming, you Run for me and go to my house to get something."

Twenty minutes later, Xu Luo, who was out of breath, appeared at the door of the ward.

After Xu Luo saw Xia Lin, he didn't ask anything, just glanced at him from a distance, Xia Lin took the initiative to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't lie to you, and I shouldn't act on my own, I know I was wrong Don’t dare to do it again.” Xia Lin’s excuse for not returning home overnight was to accompany Chen Mubai to finish the notes, casually have dinner with his brother, and then spend the night at his house to cultivate the brotherhood that has been indifferent for three years.

The earnest tone and sincerity of Xia Lin's confession surprised Xia Yan, and he realized the difference between "you can manage it" and "you can't manage it". general feeling.

After learning that Xia Lin could go back at any time, Xu Luo took medicine for Xia Lin, asked the doctor carefully, went through various procedures, said goodbye to Xia Yan politely, and helped Xia Lin to leave.

Xia Lin walked to the door and looked back at Lu Yuan, "Brother, thank you for me when he wakes up, I will come and see him."

Xia Yan's eyes also fell on Lu Yuan's face: "I know."

Xia Lin's eyes wandered around between the two, always feeling that there seemed to be some kind of inexplicable affection between the two of them, so she couldn't help asking: "Brother, brother Lu Yuan will send you a message at one o'clock." Any news?"

Xia Yan raised his head in a daze: "I sent a message to report my safety, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Xia Lin only gave his brother a faint smile, closed the door and disappeared. He always felt as if he had figured out some questions that had been lingering in his heart, and he was in a particularly happy mood. clear.

As soon as he left the old brother's sight, Xia Lin leaned softly on Xu Luo as if his spine had been pulled away, watching him giggle all the time, but one side of the apple muscle was injured, so it shouldn't be stretched too much. Big, can only concentrate the smile on the uninjured side, it looks even more ugly.

"Father, don't be angry," Xia Lin reached out and touched Xu Luo's tense face, "But he looks handsome when he is angry, hehe."

Anger is naturally angry. Obviously, the dangerous talk against Xia Lin on New Year's Eve educated him both physically and mentally. Xia Lin also patted his chest and promised that he would never do dangerous things alone. Xu Luo still remembered the expression on his face when he said that, and it was only two months later that he tossed himself into the hospital again.Although the two brothers of the Xia family didn't say it clearly, Xu Luo could vaguely infer that Xia Lin's injury must have gone through a lot of danger this time. After all, the people who went with him have not yet woken up.

Xu Luo stretched out his hand and gently pulled off the corner of Xia Lin's twisted lips, and looked into his eyes: "I really don't dare in the future?"

Xia Lin turned his face and looked away: "Father, when did you hook up with Xia Yan?"

Xu Luo turned Xia Lin's face back. It was not the working hours of the hospital at this time, and there was no one in the aisle. He moved his face very close, their foreheads almost touching, and then whispered in a low voice. Said: "You don't have to worry about it, anyway, if you do something wrong, you will be punished..."

Xia Lin couldn't hear what Xu Luo said later, this subtle distance made him feel distracted for a moment, the warm breath of that person swept across his face vaguely, Xia Lin's mind Some indescribable images flashed quickly, and when Xu Luo's chin was raised, he was about to blatantly insult him.

Unexpectedly, Xu Luo stretched out his hand sharply to stop him, a warm palm replaced a pair of soft lips, Xu Luo said expressionlessly, "If you say it, you will be punished."

"Hmph, if you don't kiss, then don't kiss." Xia Lin turned her head full of resentment, thinking bitterly in her heart, my brother cheated me so much, I really feel a little sorry if I don't cheat back.
