reverse trapping

Shen Jinzhi's whispers gradually subsided, and the ward fell into silence again.

The fluorescent lamp on the ceiling hung coldly above his head, shining on Shen Jinzhi's body arrogantly.

There is still a long time before he wakes up, and Cheng Mu can only wait and accompany him.

The hospitalization rate is not high now, and the other bed in the room is empty, and Cheng Mu plans to rest there tonight.

He moved a chair and sat beside the hospital bed.

Cheng Mu has been holding on to that cuff button since he came back from the shopping mall, and now a deep red mark has been left on his palm.

He found Shen Jinzhi's shirt from a stack of folded clothes, gathered up the loose cuffs of the shirt and put on the cuff buttons, as skillfully as he had done countless times before.

I don't know if the light in the ward is too pale, Shen Jinzhi's complexion doesn't look very good, and his lips are obviously dry.

There were no daily necessities in the ward, so Cheng Mu had no choice but to go downstairs.

He hastily picked out a few necessities from the supermarket, planning to go home and get some after Shen Jinzhi woke up tomorrow.

He walked in a hurry, afraid that something would go wrong if Shen Jinzhi stayed alone in the ward.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Cheng Mu saw someone standing at the door of Shen Jinzhi's ward from a distance, looking in through the narrow glass window.

The man raised his hand to rest on the doorknob. He only started to press down on the handle, but suddenly moved his hand away.

The slightly dim light in the corridor hit his back, leaving a lonely and vicissitudes of life.

Cheng Mu couldn't tell who it was, and was about to step forward to ask, when the person left.

The figure from the back looked familiar, but Cheng Mu always felt that he had seen it somewhere.

By the time he caught up, he was already gone.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the security situation of the hospital, maybe it is just the wrong way.

Cheng Mu didn't think any more, and walked into the ward.

He put away his things and came back with a basin of water.

The air turned cooler at night, and the hot water in the basin steamed slightly, entangled around the soaked towel.

Cheng Mu picked up a warm towel, tested the temperature with his skin, and then gently wiped Shen Jinzhi's cheeks.

Shen Jinzhi looked a little tired.

Although most of the time he was off work at normal time, he would always work overtime in the study, and there were even a few times when Cheng Mu woke up at night, the lights in the study were still on.

Cheng Mu sighed in a low voice, and took a cotton swab to moisten his lips.

"Buzzing—"

On the bedside table, Shen Jinzhi's cell phone rang several times, while Cheng Mu hurriedly picked up the cell phone and turned it to silent.

After accidentally discovering that it was Wan Weiduo who contacted Shen Jin, he was worried that the other party was in a hurry, so he called back.

Wan Weiduo heaved a sigh of relief when he learned that Shen Jinzhi was hospitalized but only underwent appendicitis surgery.

After solemnly asking Cheng Mu to take care of Shen Jin, he ended the call.

The night was very long, long enough for Cheng Mu to calm down completely.

He turned off the brightest lamp, leaving only one night light, and continued to look at Shen Jinzhi.

There is no doubt that Shen Jinzhi is the person he is looking for.

But for such a long time, Shen Jinzhi never mentioned anything about the past, and even when he subconsciously asked "Did we know each other before", he never showed any intention to confide.

Judging from the relationship during this period of time, he should be the only one who lost his memory.

But Shen Jinzhi has been reluctant to recognize him for a long time. Could it be that some unhappiness happened in the past that Shen Jinzhi didn't want to mention?

But if this is the case, why did he want to get to know him again?

All kinds of mysteries lingered in front of him, and Cheng Mu became dizzy.

This ward is not big, and the other empty bed is not far from Shen Jinzhi's bed, but Cheng Muze always feels uneasy.

He didn't want to go to sleep on that empty bed, he was very afraid that when he woke up, he would be like three years ago, nothing but emptiness.

He just sat in front of the bed and looked at Shen Jinzhi until he fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

Cheng Mu was woken up.

Early in the morning, a new patient moved into the next bed.

Cheng Mu propped himself up. After sleeping in an unhealthy position all night, he was sore from neck to waist and abdomen.

He raised his hand and thumped his waist, then moved his gaze to Shen Jinzhi.

Shen Jinzhi's eyelashes trembled, showing vague signs of sobriety.

Cheng Mu stopped the movement of his hands, and immediately went up to meet him.In order not to frighten Shen Jinzhi, Cheng Mu didn't get too close.

Shen Jinzhi withdrew his hand from under the quilt, and squeezed the space between his eyebrows.

"Are you okay? Is there something uncomfortable?" Cheng Mu asked with concern.

Shen Jinzhi followed the voice and looked over, his originally tightly pursed lips relaxed at an angle.

He smiled slightly and said, "Why do you look so nervous? If I remember correctly, I just had my appendix cut, right? Are you so worried about me?"

Cheng Mu paused for a moment, and took another low breath.

"Yes, I'm worried."

Shen Jinzhi was dumbfounded for a moment.

The smell of disinfectant slowly crept in from the corridor, shocking Shen Jinzhi's sense of surprise.

Cheng Mu walked around to the end of the bed and shook the lifting handle.

The bed was slowly set up, while Cheng Mu picked up the pillow and carefully stuffed it behind Shen Jin's body to relieve the pressure caused by the leaning action.

"The doctor should come to make rounds soon. You sit down for a while and tell me where it hurts."

Shen Jinzhi showed a faint smile, and looked up at Cheng Muze: "I really didn't find any other symptoms, right? The ones that won't live for a few days."

Cheng Mu said displeased, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Shen Jinzhi smiled: "Then you—"

Halfway through his words, several doctors pushed the door open.

It's a routine rounds.

Several doctors surrounded Shen Jinzhi, chatting with him while asking about his condition.

After getting a general understanding of the situation, several people instructed Shen Jinzhi to transfer to another hospital bed.

One of the doctors stayed behind and approached the head of the bed.

"Shen Yuan was on the plane last night. The meeting was scheduled a long time ago, so he had no choice but to go. He heard that you were sick, so he asked me to bring you a message, asking you to take good care of your illness."

Hearing this, Shen Jinzhi said indifferently: "Old He, you said this yourself, right?"

The doctor named Lao He laughed twice, and patted Shen Jinzhi on the shoulder: "It's understandable that he is busy, he must want to tell you, I just said something from my heart for him. Don't Think about it, just after the operation, cranky thinking is not conducive to recovery. The old guy will be back in two days, and I will see you then."

Shen Jinzhi let out a "hmm".

Hearing this, Cheng Mu suddenly realized something.

Wan Weiduo mentioned to him more than once that Shen Jinzhi's father was the director of the No. 1 civilian hospital in Jinsong City.Inexplicably, Cheng Mu thought of the person who wanted to enter the ward but didn't come in last night.

Could that be Shen Jinzhi's father?

Cheng Mu wanted to tell Shen Jinzhi what he saw last night, but he was worried that it wasn't his father and would make him even more sad, so he didn't say anything in the end.

Cheng Mu probably never expected that Qin Yi would be the first person to visit Shen Jinzhi.

Qin Yi stood squatting at the door, trying not to disturb Shen Jinzhi, attracting Cheng Muze's attention.

Seeing Qin Yi dancing at the door, Cheng Mu walked out of the ward in confusion.

As soon as he got out of the ward, Qin Yi dragged him for more than ten meters.

He stopped at the end of the corridor and stuffed the bouquet of flowers into Cheng Muze's hand.

"It's for Mr. Shen, I wish him a speedy recovery, and you can pass it on to him for me."

Cheng Mu grabbed the bouquet tightly in his hand, and asked doubtfully, "How do you know he's in the hospital?"

Qin Yi replied with a sense of naturalness in his tone: "You must have forgotten, Mr. Shen is a famous person in the school.

"Last night, someone took a picture of him in the hospital, and after posting it on the confession wall, it sparked a heated discussion. Now many people in the school know that Mr. Shen is ill. I don't know if other students will come one after another."

After finishing speaking, Qin Yi glanced at the phone anxiously: "Time is running out, I have to go back to class."

Cheng Mu frowned slightly: "Are you still coming to class?"

"Mr. Shen didn't hold me accountable for the big mistake I made last time. I must come to see him when he was sick. I was afraid that I would meet a classmate I knew when I was late. Can't bear it.

"gone!"

Qin Yi waved his hand and turned around, out of Cheng Muze's field of vision.

Looking at the flowers in his hand, Cheng Mu couldn't laugh or cry.

Qin Yi left in a hurry, the paper wrapping the bouquet was a little wrinkled, he felt uncomfortable, so he tidied it up while walking.

A little boy ran towards him and ran into him.

Cheng Mu couldn't dodge in time, loosened his wrist, and the bouquet fell heavily to the ground.

The dew slid from the petals to the ground, and fell to pieces.

A sharp pain passed through Cheng Muze's temple, opening a crack in his brain. He took half a step back and pressed his wrist bone against his forehead.

"sorry."

These three words sounded in Cheng Muze's mind, and they pierced into his heart like a sharp knife.

The boy's parents ran over and hugged the little boy who was stunned aside.

The parents sneered: "Oh, you still hold your forehead. It's not like that. Children are not that tall, so it's impossible to hit your head."

She picked up the boy and ran away with small steps.

Cheng Mu squatted down, and his memory suddenly fell back to three years ago.

The postgraduate graduation ceremony is in progress, and the auditorium of Yongchang Communication University is very lively.

All the graduates were neatly dressed in master's uniforms, gathering into a sea of ​​dark blue.

Cheng Mu sat in the crowd, stroking the master's hat back and forth with his fingertips.

The fringe of the hat spread out on the top of the hat, covering Cheng Muze's heart like a silk net.

On the mobile phone beside him, the text message from his father was still on: "Go back to Beichi immediately after graduation, don't waste time."

Cheng Mu was troubled, his eyes gradually lost focus.

He thought of the night his mother died.

That night, the mother who had been ill for a long time put on a delicate light makeup, but she couldn't conceal the weakness at the time of dying.

She was leaning against the head of the bed with the rolled up quilt behind her.

She said softly: "Axia, mother knows that you have a lot of thoughts of your own. No matter in the past, now, or after I leave, mother will always support you. We Axia should be free and must be free."

The roses in the bedside vase are almost at the end, and the scattered petals are weakly gathered in one place, shaping the final integrity.

Cheng Mu bit his lower lip, trying to restrain himself from making a sound, but his trembling shoulders betrayed his emotions.

The mother continued: "Your father has a bad temper and is very stubborn, but blood relationship is a very strange thing, and it is almost impossible to break away from it. Mother believes that he loves you. I will not be here in the future. I hope you can tolerate him more. Be nice to him, okay?"

Cheng Mu raised his eyes and stared at his mother's eyes with only a gleam of light left.

"I……"

His mother pinched his fingertips, and the corners of his eyes that had been eroded by the disease trembled slightly: "Mother knows what you want to say, but apart from him, I really can't find anyone else to entrust to my beloved A-Xia."

Cheng Mu fell silent.

He stared at his mother for a long time, and still gave a "hmm".

Although the tone was dull, it was sure.

The withered roses on the bedside finally scattered, and the rotten petals fell on the bedside table, sleeping peacefully.

"Mu Ze." The classmate next to him patted him, "We are almost here, ready to go on stage."

"it is good."

The graduation ceremony passed away in a hurry, and it was an unremarkable ending.

Cheng Mu took off his hat slowly, and saw the only Shen Jinzhi who was dressed differently in a piece of master's uniform.

The moment he saw Shen Jinzhi's figure, Cheng Muze's heart seemed to light up, and it became warm instantly.

Cheng Mu waited for people to walk less before walking towards Shen Jinzhi.

Shen Jinzhi held a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and the bright flower branches were blooming brilliantly against the sun.

"Asha, happy graduation."

Cheng Mu took the bouquet and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, senior."

He and Shen Jinzhi walked out of the auditorium side by side, and walked aimlessly along the embankment.

The crowd gradually dispersed behind them, and the sounds of birdsong and running water became clearer.

Shen Jinzhi peeled off the candy wrapper, and brought one to Cheng Muze's mouth.

Cheng Mu bit the candy naturally, and his lips brushed against Shen Jinzhi's fingertips inadvertently.

Suddenly, Shen Jinzhi stopped.

Cheng Mu turned around and stopped following him.

Shen Jinzhi pushed his glasses, bowed slightly and said, "I have a secret, do you want to hear it?"

"Secret?" Cheng Mu joked, "Mr. Shen's secret should be able to sell for a lot of money, right?"

Shen Jinzhi flicked Cheng Muze's forehead and said with a sneer, "Are you a fan of small fortune? Can this be sold?"

Cheng Mu chuckled: "I've fallen in love with a lens, and I'm short of money. I'll wait until I know your secret so that I can sell it to someone who wants to make money."

Shen Jinzhi shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, then after you finish listening, if you think this secret can be sold, I won't stop it."

Originally selling the news was just a joke, but after hearing what Shen Jinzhi said, Cheng Mu suddenly became very interested in this secret: "What's so interesting?"

Shen Jinzhi raised his fingertips and brushed the broken hair on his forehead.

"Asha, I have liked you for a long time."

He said softly: "You said that you want to record all the time with photography, but I want to record all of you with time."

"..."

Cheng Mu's smile froze, and a possibility that he hadn't thought about forcefully entered his mind.

He took a step back, and the strength in his hand suddenly disappeared.

The bright bouquet fell to the ground, and the scattered petals spread out, lying on the ground with messy footprints.

Cheng Mu grabbed the trouser legs with both hands indiscriminately, pulling up hideous folds.

He was breathing chaotically, his mind was in a knot and he lost the ability to think.

He stumbled: "Yes, I'm sorry."

I don't know if that sorry is for the flowers that fell on the ground, or for Shen Jinzhi himself.

Cheng Mu's expression flickered, and he suddenly looked away.

"sorry!"

He ran away quickly, into the brutal midsummer daylight.
