Shen Jinzhi looked at Cheng Muze softly, and stood beside him with concerned eyes.

The woman lowered her eyebrows and glanced at Shen Jinzhi.

Soon, she put away the displeasure at the corner of her mouth and looked at Cheng Muze again.

"I advise you to think clearly, what happened three years ago, you can do it all over again."

Cheng Mu took half a step forward excitedly: "What do you mean?"

Shen Jinzhi immediately raised his hand to stop Cheng Muze, and reminded him in a very soft voice: "She is provoking you on purpose."

The reminder came just right, blocking Cheng Muze's sudden burst of emotion.

He clenched his teeth, and the fingers on Shen Jinzhi's arm gradually relaxed.

The blocking force was slowly released, but the woman's words were still aggressive.

"Last chance, go, or not go?"

A vehicle coming in from outside honked its horn, urgently urging several people to leave the middle of the road.

Cheng Mu made a choice: "Go, of course."

He looked at Shen Jinzhi beside him, grabbed his wrist with his backhand, and walked away from the smog without looking back.

The first time Cheng Mu saw this stepmother was in his father's car a few months before his mother died.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until his father showed up at home with her after his mother passed away that Cheng Mu understood what was going on.

After his father reunited, the relationship between him and his stepmother was once very bad.

When he woke up from the hospital and everyone cheated on him together, the first one who showed his flaws was the stepmother herself.

Cheng Mu knew she did it on purpose.

After all, the more he disobeyed his father, the happier his stepmother would be.

Last year around Cheng Muze's birthday, his stepmother gave birth to a son, and his father's energy was diverted from monitoring him, so he immediately left Beichi and came to Jinsong.

He was very quiet for a long time afterwards.

Now that the stepmother has changed from the past and hopes that he will obey his father's will, there must be an unspeakable conspiracy hidden in it.

Pulling Shen Jinzhi all the way to the side gate of the community, Cheng Mu slowed down.

He looked at Shen Jinzhi dully: "By the way, why are you back?"

Shen Jinzhi stroked the back of Cheng Muze's hand, and answered his question: "Don't worry, come back and see if you're awake."

Cheng Mu shook his head: "I'm fine."

The phone vibrated, and Shen Jinzhi picked it up.

After listening silently for a while, Shen Jinzhi responded, "I know, I'm by his side."

Cheng Mu said, "Is it Xiao Xun?"

Shen Jinzhi nodded.

Cheng Mu pointed to the phone and asked Shen Jinzhi with his mouth if he could answer the phone.

The phone was handed over.

"it's me."

"Did you bump into her?"

Cheng Mu couldn't deny it, so he had to acquiesce.

Shi Xun then said: "Are you at home? I'll look for you later."

Cheng Mu hesitated for a moment: "Let's talk on the phone, is it convenient to talk now?"

"it is good."

Shi Xun slowly thought back: "That day I skipped class and went to a suburban cemetery, and I also accidentally found you. Because I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't dare to confirm it completely, so I just hid aside and observed quietly."

Xia Feng slid down from the treetops quietly, sweeping over a bunch of elegant bouquets.

Cheng Mu put down the lily in his hand and carefully cleaned the dust on the tombstone.

While sweeping, he said softly: "Mom, don't worry, grandma is fine. She was transferred to the general ward this morning and will be home soon."

The dust was quickly swept away, and Cheng Mu stopped, staring fixedly at the picture of his mother on the tombstone and said, "Actually, I'm here today, and I have something important to tell you."

Cheng Muze's voice paused: "I seem to have someone I like."

As he spoke, he shook his head violently, and switched to a positive tone: "I just have someone I like."

"He has good points all over his body, and many people like him. If you are still here, you will definitely be full of praise for him." Cheng Mu pursed his lips and laughed, "Next time I have a chance, I will take him Come to see you."

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that he is also a boy."

Cheng Mu looked up at the blue sky above the cemetery, watching the pigeons flying freely in it.

He whispered: "You said that you should be free in life, and I think the same should be true for love. I know you will definitely advise me to think carefully, so I thought for a long time and made the most prudent decision I have made in the past 20 years. I have the courage to be responsible for this choice, and I firmly believe that I will never regret it, so—”

In the silence, a roar interrupted Cheng Muze's voice: "Why do you have the face to say such dirty things in front of your mother's grave?"

Cheng Mu paused slightly, gathered the bouquet in front of the tomb, and turned around.

He glanced at his stepmother next to his father: "Dirty? Who brought Xiaosan here, who is dirty? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep because of guilty conscience at night?"

Cheng Ye said angrily: "How can you talk to your mother?!"

Cheng Mu made no secret of his disdain: "Does she deserve this title?"

"you--!"

Cheng Mu stared stubbornly at his father's hand that was about to hit him, neither dodging nor dodging.

The stepmother held Cheng Ye back: "If you have something to say, it's not good to be here."

"Get over here!"

Cheng Mu glanced at the photo of his mother's death guiltily, and had no choice but to follow and leave.

Shi Xun sighed: "I saw that you were in a state of desperation, so I didn't dare to bother you. I thought that Beichi was only so big, and we would meet again sooner or later, but I didn't expect to see you again in Jinsong."

Under Shi Xun's description, memories sporadically leaked into Mu Ze's mind.

They should have been together a long time ago, there was no search, and there should be no waiting.

Cheng Mu took a deep breath, his emotions stuck in his chest, and he was stuck sour.

"Brother?"

Shi Xun's voice recalled Cheng Muze's thoughts, and he replied: "I see."

"Is this related to your amnesia?"

Cheng Mu didn't want this matter to affect Shi Xun, so he denied it, "No, it's just a normal quarrel."

Shi Xun wanted to talk again, but Cheng Mu teased directly: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner in a few days and go to class."

Time is suspended here by Cheng Mu.

He covered his eyes, digesting the information.

The crux of the problem was still at home, and he seemed to really need to go back.

In the year of graduation, he returned to Beichi only for three years.

A thing that happened will leave traces no matter how it is repaired, he really doesn't know how to tell Shen Jinzhi that he wants to go back to Beichi.

He put down his hand with difficulty, his vision blurred by the pressure just now.

"Want to go back?"

Shen Jin's words broke his mind.

The blurred vision refocused on Shen Jinzhi's face, while Cheng Mu licked his lips: "Did you hear that?"

Shen Jinzhi nodded.

After hesitating, Shen Jinzhi said again: "If you're in a hurry, I'll take you to the airport after lunch. There is a flight to Beichi every afternoon at two o'clock in the afternoon, and it will arrive in two hours. After you settle down, you can have dinner."

"How do you know so clearly..."

Shen Jinzhi didn't answer that question, but just stroked his hair and led him home.

Cheng Mu followed in a daze.

Before lunch, Shen Jinzhi packed all his luggage for him.

He kept chattering with Shen Jinzhi, but Shen Jinzhi only told him to pay attention to safety and beware of his stepmother, as if he didn't care much about his return to Beichi.

After a long delay in the airport lobby, it was time to go to the security check.

Before taking off, Cheng Mu sent a message to Shen Jinzhi, repeating his promise that he would come back.

The plane was not delayed.

Cheng Mu drove to the city by car. Even though he hadn't come back for a long time, he didn't want to be nostalgic, and just wanted to solve the matter as soon as possible and return to Shen Jinzhi's side.

In the car, the driver played the radio news.

"Recently, Huang, a fugitive wanted in a major medical accident case in the former Beichi Psychiatric Hospital, was arrested. The Beichi police said they would announce the truth as soon as possible and return justice to the public."

Listening, the driver suddenly said with emotion: "Oh, it's been three years, but I've been caught."

Cheng Mu was really sensitive to the word "three years", so he couldn't help asking: "How do you know it's three years?"

The driver smiled: "Young man, you are an outsider. This incident was a big hit back then, and the whole Beichi knew about it."

He had never heard of something that the whole Beichi knew, and Cheng Mu frowned slightly: "Can you tell me more about it?"

"Hey." The driver raised his voice, "I'll just tell you what I heard. If you want to know, I'll tell you."

"Yeah." Cheng Mu responded, "The road is also boring."

The driver turned off the radio and spoke seriously.

"In the news, this hospital is a private hospital. It's quite unscrupulous. Even minor headaches and brain fever can treat people into mental illness. Originally, it can't explain this kind of illness. Some people feel that something is wrong, but they can't explain why.

"Three years ago, a little girl was cured to death in this hospital. I heard that she was only suffering from depression when she entered the hospital, but she died after treatment."

Hearing about depression, Cheng Mu reasonably guessed, "Suicide?"

The driver shook his head: "Where is it? It's a medical accident. The father and daughter depended on each other for their lives. The child was still talking and panting yesterday, but they met each other in the morgue in a blink of an eye. The man collapsed on the spot and insisted on the hospital paying for his life."

Cheng Mu bit his lower lip and continued to listen.

"The hospital produced evidence and said that the diagnosis and treatment process was fine, but the man didn't believe it and called the police. He had no evidence, was emotional and vulgar, so he was labeled as a doctor's trouble.

"Who would have thought that that man was a ruthless person. After half a month of silence, he set fire to the hospital and injured many people. He didn't run away, just waiting for the police to arrest him."

The chief driver sighed: "This matter was fermented by the media, and the police were under pressure to thoroughly investigate the hospital, and found several man-made medical accidents. The dean who was in charge ran away at that time, and he was arrested only then. Tell me something horrible."

Cheng Mu listened, panicked for no reason.

The driver was still eloquently expressing his views on the matter, but Cheng Mu didn't speak any more.

The long drive was finally over, and Cheng Mu picked up his luggage and checked into the hotel.

After entering the room, Cheng Mu remembered that he hadn't contacted Shen Jinzhi yet, so he quickly made a video call to him.

He reported safety and said: "Senior, I have already checked into the hotel, don't worry."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the background behind Shen Jinzhi: "Why are you still at the airport?"

Shen Jinzhi smiled lightly and said, "Let's go back now."

At this time, a broadcast came from above the airport: "XX Airlines flying from Jinsong to Beichi is about to take off. Please board the plane as soon as possible, Shen Jinzhi, a passenger of XX Airlines."

Cheng Mu blinked dully: "Did you buy a plane ticket to Beichi?"

The author says:

Superficial: I'm not worried.

Behind the scenes: Buy the next flight ticket and wait for news at the airport.
