After entering the winter, the weather turned cold, and a rare cold wave hit, and the flu became prevalent. Du Shuangci was also caught in the trick. Because he was old, he got pneumonia after getting the flu, so he was admitted to the hospital.

Li Xinyun does not have many contacts with Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci on weekdays, most of them are text messages and phone calls. At the beginning, Li Xinyun was still recovering, so naturally he couldn't take the initiative to visit them, but they would come to Chen's house Look at Li Xinyun, but because of Rong Zhen's stubbornness and awkwardness, he usually doesn't stay long.After Li Xinyun got better, he only visited Du Shuangci and Rong Zhen occasionally during their days off, hurriedly brought a bunch of gifts to the door, and left in a hurry on the pretext that he still had work in the shop.

Their current relationship looks like an ordinary parent and child, because of the inevitable estrangement due to growth and time-in fact, Li Xinyun deliberately alienates them, they are not like Chen Hongting who will forcefully intervene in Li Xinyun's life, Li Xinyun had no choice but to accept passively.He didn't know how to get along with them, should he be closer, or should he be more restrained?

Li Xinyun has no way to grasp this scale, let alone how to put himself into the parent-child relationship of an ordinary family, so he can only alienate him. Even when Li Xinyun was injured and had a fever last time, Li Xinyun used the excuse of "don't let them worry". told them.

This time Du Ci was ill, but Li Xinyun had to go see him no matter what.

Because the flu is rampant, many people on the street are already wearing masks. Li Xinyun's immunity is still relatively weak because he just got sick and had a fever, so he listened to Aunt Lan's instructions and put on a mask when he went out .

Li Xinyun took the fruit basket and went to the hospital.

Probably due to illness, Du Shuangci described himself as haggard, half lying on the bed with water hanging on his face, watching the TV set on the wall playing the morning news, when he saw him, he smiled, and hurriedly asked him to sit down, and said, "Xiaoyun is here. Lah, it's so early, have you eaten yet?"

Li Xinyun responded with "eat", and sat next to Du Shuangci.Rong Zhen was still the same as before, looking very cold, he was neither salty nor indifferent to Li Xinyun's arrival, looked at the fruit basket he brought and reprimanded, "Why do you buy such a fancy thing", and then went with a cup bathroom.

After Rong Zhen went out, Du Shuangci grabbed Li Xinyun's hand and patted it, saying, "Your father is just that idiot, don't care about him."

Li Xinyun tucked Du Shuangci's partially lifted quilt and asked, "How are you today? I should have come to see you earlier."

When Li Xinyun got the news of Du Shuangci's illness, he was not fully recovered. He didn't have a low-grade fever again until two days ago. Although Li Xinyun felt that there was nothing wrong with his body, but because his physique was already weak after the car accident, Chen Hongting was particularly worried, and he must rest at home for two more days, and in order to avoid worrying Du Shuangci and Rong Zhen, Li Xinyun waited until he looked more energetic before visiting Du Shuangci in the hospital.

"It's much better already. I told you not to come if you have something to do. It's not a serious illness." Du Shuangci said.

Rong Zhen came back after a while, and the cup he took out was already dripping wet. It turned out that he had just gone out to wash the cups.He took a clean tissue to wipe the cup clean, poured half a glass of water from the kettle beside the bed, and handed it to Li Xinyun, "Drink some water."

Li Xinyun took it and held it in his hand. The suitable temperature of hot water passed through the wall of the cup to his palm. Li Xinyun bowed his head and said thank you.

Du Shuangci's patient in the next bed was a middle-aged woman. She probably heard Li Xinyun's "thank you" and said with a smile, "Is this your child? You are very polite."

Du Shuangci seemed a little embarrassed, and then smiled and said, "It's not his father who taught him to be polite. His father is very fierce, and he beats him with a cane without memory. It's all because of the beating."

"How can parents and children be so polite..." The patient shook his head, and after shaking his head for a while, he sighed again, "But it's good to be polite, so we understand the hard work of being parents. Unlike my child, he is not polite enough, his mother is sick." I was so dazed that I didn't even bother to make a phone call."

"The children are busy with work, don't you think this is a nurse for you?"

"But your child looks quite upright. How old is he? What kind of job do you do? Are you married? I know a girl..."

The topic has entered the topic of marriage and love that middle-aged and elderly people can never let go of. Du Shuangci hurriedly said: "He is almost thirty, he opened a shop by himself, and just messed around. The marriage is not over, but..." She read Glancing at Li Xinyun, "I've been with someone for a long time."

Hearing Du Shuangci mention his "object", Li Xinyun hesitated for a moment, and the water glass that was about to be handed to his mouth also stopped.

The patient had a regretful expression on his face.After being unable to introduce a partner to Li Xinyun, the patient quickly lost interest in Li Xinyun, and chatted with Du Shuangci about gossip in the hospital.Du Shuangci probably became acquainted after living together for a few days. Du Shuangci was very involved in chatting with the patient. Rong Zhen didn't speak, but read a book at the side. When the water glass in Li Xinyun's palm became cold, he suddenly asked Li Xinyun: "You and the patient?" How is Xiao Chen doing recently?"

When Rong Zhen asked this question, he didn't look at Li Xinyun either, but still looked at the book in his hand.

He asked this question suddenly, it took Li Xinyun a while to realize that the "little Chen" that Rong Zhen said was Chen Hongting.Ever since Rong Zhen had drank with Chen Hongting and agreed to Li Xinyun about his son's relationship with a man, he never asked about anything related to Chen Hongting.

Li Xinyun hesitated for a moment, and said vaguely: "That's it."

Rong Zhen's hand stopped flipping the book, and he didn't turn to the next page for a long time, as if distracted, he said "oh" after a long time, then he raised his head to look at Li Xinyun. The strict father's indifference in front of him seemed a bit strange. He stared at Li Xinyun, his cheeks moved, and he opened his mouth, as if he had something to say to him.

But Rong Zhen didn't say anything more, because the attending doctor brought several interns to round the ward.

Although the doctors were very quiet, after all, there were quite a few of them, even if they spoke in a low voice, it seemed a bit noisy, as if interrupting a certain atmosphere, Rong Zhen closed the book, stopped reading, and stopped looking at Li Xinyun, Instead, as family members, they waited for the attending physician to ask questions.

The attending physician leading the intern is a female doctor, tall and slender, with long hair tied behind her head. Because she is in the respiratory department, the doctors and nurses are all wearing masks. Although she can't see her face clearly, Li Xinyun somehow feels her His eyebrows are a little familiar.

She checked the patient next to Du Shuangci first. She asked the patient a few questions in a low voice, and then asked the intern a few questions. The voice coming through the mask seemed a little hoarse.After a while, she led people to Du Shuangci's hospital bed, glanced at Li Xinyun who was at the side, and said with a smile: "Your children came to see you today?"

Du Shuangci replied yes with a smile, and the female doctor continued to ask about Du Shuangci's physical condition, and asked the interns as usual.After getting closer, Li Xinyun felt a sense of familiarity from her body, but before he had time to identify the source of this familiarity, the female doctor had already finished asking, and was about to leave with the intern. Probably because there was a problem and I didn't understand it, an intern walked to the door of the ward and asked, "Mr. Yan, there is one thing I don't understand..."

Li Xinyun looked at the figure of the female doctor who had already stepped out of the door, his heart skipped a beat, he stared at the door in a daze for a long time, Du Shuangci called him several times before he came back to his senses, "You child, why are you in a daze. "

"It's nothing." Li Xinyun said casually.Then he asked Du Shuangci, "What's the name of your attending physician?"

Du Shuangci didn't expect him to ask this question, and was a little surprised. Li Xinyun said, "I want to ask her about your situation later." Du Shuangci then said, "It seems to be Yan Xia, right? Isn't it, old man."

Rong Zhen nodded.

Li Xinyun finally remembered why he was familiar with this female doctor.

Because this female doctor was the last person he saw "during his lifetime", his last client, and the only survivor of that accident - Yan Xia.

Although Yan Xia is just a client to Li Xinyun, he is also the most special client.It can even be said that she is the starting point of Li Xinyun's life today.But Li Xinyun has no resentment towards her, after all, Yan Xia herself is also a victim.

But no matter what, they have lived a life and death together. Li Xinyun's mood is inevitably a little turbulent. Li Xinyun's life has been turned upside down because of an accident, so what about Yan Xia?So Li Xinyun made an excuse to ask about his condition, chased him out, and called "Doctor Yan". Yan Xia turned around, saw Li Xinyun, and said, "You are Ms. Du's son, I'm sorry, this is a hospital, please keep your voice down."

"I...I want to ask about my mother's illness..."

Yan Xia understood, she asked the interns to wait for a while, explained Du Shuangci's condition briefly to Li Xinyun, and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's just that as you get older, your immunity will inevitably be weaker, but it's not too big anymore. The problem is gone, and I can be discharged from the hospital in two days."

"Thank you, Doctor Yan." Li Xinyun said in a low voice.

Probably because he doesn't wear glasses now, most of his face is covered by the mask, and his voice is a little distorted due to the mask, Yan Xia didn't recognize him—but even if he did, he would only feel that he was a similar person, right? After all, Li Xinyun has "dead" from a social perspective.

But in fact, he and Yan Xia are not particularly familiar. Li Xinyun has his own rules in his work. After all, the cases he takes are often related to emotional disputes, and it is easy to get into trouble if he is too involved with the client, so he has no relationship with the client. In addition to communication other than work, Yan Xia is also a rare rational and calm client. She rarely chases after Li Xinyun to ask about the progress of the investigation like others. They have not met a few times, if not for the accident, they are just a very simple relationship between the detective and the client.He only knew that Yan Xia was a doctor, but he didn't expect Yan Xia to work in this hospital.

Because he was still busy with ward rounds, Yan Xia didn't have time to chat with Li Xinyun, so he said goodbye and took the intern doctor into another ward. Li Xinyun stood and watched for a while.It was rare to see another person related to his previous life. Li Xinyun felt a little uneasy, so he sat on a chair outside for a while, and saw Yan Xia coming out with an intern doctor. The individuals dispersed quickly, and Yan Xia stood at the nurse's desk for a while, probably explaining work to the nurse.

When looking at Yan Xia, Li Xinyun noticed a strange man.

The man was wearing a hospital gown, a mask, and messy hair—it wasn't a strange outfit for a hospital. He had been wandering in the corridors since Yan Xia's ward rounds, often standing in the hospital Next to some decorative plants in the corridor, generally speaking, the hospital does not allow patients to walk around because of the rounds in the morning.He seemed to be just wandering around, but Li Xinyun found that this man always followed Yan Xia at a distance that was neither too far nor too close.

After checking the room and talking to the nurse desk, Yan Xia went back to the office, the man followed him, and sat down on the chair at the diagonal of the office door with his mobile phone, as if looking for a place to play with his mobile phone.

Li Xinyun himself used to do follow-up investigations in the past, so it was very easy to see that although that person pretended to be a patient, he might not be a real patient.

He is following Yan Xia.
