No such person [criminal investigation]

The lights in the ward were brightly lit, illuminating Qi Zang's eyes extraordinarily brightly.

Xu Ci stared at those eyes for a moment, then looked down at his tall and handsome nose bridge, and his lips with a wicked smile.

In fact, if you look closely, Qi Zang's face is also a little swollen, and there are many small, unhealed wounds.

So Xu Ci gently raised his hand and put his finger on the edge of the scar under Qi Zang's right eye.

Lowering his head and getting closer, Xu Ci stared at the wound for a while, then raised his eyes to meet Qi Zang's again, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Qi Zang lowered his head slightly, and saw Xu Ci's soft hair and those eyes that were dizzy with concern.

He was too close to himself, and the heat of his breath was lingering between his mouth and nose.Not to mention his hands gently holding his face...

Qi Zang's breathing rate couldn't help speeding up, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down violently.

He immediately stretched out his hand to hold Xu Ci's wrist, his eyes flashed with uncertainty for a moment, but in the end he decided to go all out and asked, "Are you flirting with me?"

Xu Ci raised an eyebrow. "Normal concern. You are mistaken."

Qi Zang: "Then if it were someone else, such as Shu Yan, would you also be 'normally concerned'?"

Hearing this, Xu Ci also thought about it seriously, and then replied: "He is injured, and I will provide all the help I can. But I... will not touch his face like this."

Qi Zang's heartbeat quickened a bit, but the expression on his face was serious. "So, you treat me differently than you treat other people?"

After looking at Qi Zang for a while, the corners of Xu Ci's mouth turned up. "Qi Zang, do you look like a casual person?"

Qi Zang naturally shook his head.Immediately, he frowned, trying to figure out the meaning of Xu Ci's words.

Ke Xuci did not immediately explain further.

The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly faded away, he looked into Qi Zang's eyes again, moved his index finger up, and gently stroked the center of his eyebrows. "Qi Zang, I have lied to you many, many times. Sorry.

"Once I make a decision, I don't listen to other people's advice at all, and I don't care what other people think. I am very stubborn, almost paranoid. It was not long ago that I discovered that my Going my own way has serious consequences."

Qi Zang couldn't understand Xu Ci's words more and more.

—What is he referring to?

But Xu Ci said again: "That incident shook my stubbornness. Now that you have suffered such a serious injury... I suddenly figured out something. Although it is artificial, it is too idealistic after all. , no matter how hard I try, there will always be things beyond my control. So I might as well..."

Qi Zang held his hand tightly. "You are afraid that I will be implicated by Sicolorhua, so you keep pushing me away. Now you finally find that I can't escape even if I want to. Why don't you let me fight side by side with you?"

After a while, seeing Xu Ci nod his head, Qi Zang said again: "But I don't understand what you said about the other so-called 'paranoia' and 'willing to go your own way'?"

"It's about my family. I'll tell you about it later. Anyway—"

Xu Ci said, "Also, as you said just now, I pushed you away because I was afraid that you would be implicated. In fact, this is only one of the reasons. As for the other reason... I always feel that I have done something wrong. From my point of view, you who know the truth may not like me."

Qi Zang couldn't understand these words, and couldn't help asking: "What do you think you did wrong?"

His tone lowered a little, Xu Ci lowered his eyes, and said softly: "Brother Zang, it's not what you think, I never thought of treating you as a 'friend', or anything else...

"I want to say, eight years ago, if I were someone else, I wouldn't... No, on that night eight years ago, there would never be someone else. There will never be someone else. "

There is never anyone else.

Hearing these words, Qi Zang's heart was already so fast that it didn't seem like his own.

Then I heard Xu Ci lower his head and say: "That night eight years ago... I was indeed drunk at the time, but I was not completely unconscious. Afterwards, I carefully thought about my motives at that time, and I found that my thoughts at that time were very Narrow and very selfish.

"At that time, I felt... that the mission I was about to perform would be very dangerous. I knew that I might die in Myanmar.

"So, under the influence of alcohol, I made a very selfish choice - before I die, I want to..."

The words came to an abrupt end here, Xu Ci pursed his lips, then raised his eyes to look at Qi Zang's eyes again. "Brother Zang, I thought at the time that maybe I was going to die soon. Then before that, I want you once."

When Xu Ci said this, his eyes were a little red.

Qi Zang really didn't follow his train of thought for a while.

After all, when Xu Ci said the four words "I want you" himself, his brain basically short-circuited.

Qi Zang admits that he has tens of thousands of delusions.

But he never expected it - Xu Ci really liked him eight years ago.

Xu Ci has always been tough and cold-faced, rarely revealing his true emotions.

But at this moment he looked very sad.

Qi Zang's heart almost melted.

He held Xu Ci's face in his hands, his voice was soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. "Why are you selfish?"

"Although, to a certain extent, there is the influence of alcohol, but my thought is really selfish. Because I only think about myself. I think if that is the case, maybe I have no regrets. But I forgot to think about your situation .

"I woke up the next day and thought about finding a replacement for myself. I thought, after finishing the task, I would communicate with you well, maybe we could be together. But I didn't expect... Then you see——

"You really were delayed by me for eight years.

"If it wasn't for me, you might have married a wife and had a happy family long ago, instead of wasting so much time for nothing. I..."

"Brother Zang, I'm such a selfish person, I don't leave any room for the people around me when I do things—"

Xu Ci looked into his eyes, paused for a while, and then asked, "I'm so bad, do you still like me?"

Qi Zang really didn't expect Xu Ci to think so.

——Is he unable to take this step because he has been blaming himself?

Without waiting for Qi Zang's answer, Xu Ci said again: "We met because of Zhu Xiu's case. At Zishui Waterfall, I heard that you were on a blind date—"

Qi Zang immediately interrupted him: "When did it happen, and who did you hear it from?"

Then he remembered something, and hurriedly said: "Did you hear what Gong Nianci said casually?"

"At that time, I thought that the night eight years ago was nothing to you. Then I could barely feel at ease. But then I found out that you seemed to me...

"However, I still have concerns and doubts about your feelings. I was thinking, maybe you really liked my appearance eight years ago. But I am obviously completely different now. I don't know if you are because of those four years. My college days had a filter for me, and this filter has been maintained to this day, or... In short, Brother Zang—"

Xu Ci's tone became serious, "Look, I'm full of lies all day long, I'm stubborn and don't listen to others, and I'm very self-righteous. Don't just look at the Appearance Association."

When Xu Ci spoke, Qi Zang was so ecstatic that he was about to lose his mind.

However, after hearing what he said later, Qi Zang quickly calmed down.

This is the first time that Xu Ci has truly confessed his heart to him. This confession is so direct that it can't be more direct, which makes Qi Zang feel distressed.

His heart was sore, and Qi Zang's expression became solemn and serious. He raised his hand to cover Xu Ci's hair, rubbed it lightly, and asked him, "Do you really think I'm so superficial, and I just fell in love with you?" face? I will miss eight years for a face?

"Is it because I keep praising you for being good-looking, which caused you to misunderstand?"

Xu Ci pursed his lips and did not speak.

Qi Zang's tone was suddenly severe, as if reprimanding his subordinates. "You underestimated me, and you underestimated yourself."

Hearing such words, and being stared at by Qi Zang with serious eyes for a moment, Xu Ci finally smiled.Then he nodded: "Well, okay, I see."

Qi Zang pressed his forehead against his. "Got it? It's that simple? What do you know?"

"I know your choice." Xu Ci suddenly stood up, "You wait for me."

"Hey, where are you going?" Seeing Xu Ci push the door away, Qi Zang couldn't help asking.

"Go to the nurse's station and be right back." Xu Ci left this sentence.

Sure enough, Xu Ci came back soon.

He held a piece of paper and a pen in his hand, which he seemed to have borrowed at the nurse's station.

"What...what does this mean?" Qi Zang was expecting, but also curious.

He saw Xu Ci go to the table, put the paper on it, and pick up a brush to write something on it.In the end, Xu Ci folded the paper a few times and folded it into a rectangle.

After finishing all this, Xu Ci took the paper and walked to Qi Zang.

Qi Zang asked him, "What is this?"

Xu Ci raised his chin, looked at him calmly, and said calmly, "Fame."

!!!

Qi Zang saw clearly now that the paper was folded into the style of a business card, with the words "Xu Ci's boyfriend" written on it.

Qi Zang stood there in a daze, almost a little stupid, he even forgot to take his business card.

Xu Ci looked at him quietly for a while, picked up the business card and stepped forward, stuffed it into Qi Zang's pocket, and touched his hair a few times, as if using this action to bring Qi Zang back to his senses.

"Let's make do with it first. Get a formal one after you leave the hospital. If you want this sense of ceremony."

"This one is good, very good! I'll hide it for the rest of my life." Qi Zang finally smiled, and wanted to say something, seeing Xu Ci turned to leave, he quickly grabbed his hand. "Where are you going?"

"Go back to the ward. I have to take my temperature again at night." Xu Ci said, "See you tomorrow."

"Hey wait, look... Both of our wards are empty. Why don't you move here, or I move here?" Qi Zang asked him.

"Stop coming. Your colleagues and parents still want to see you." Xu Ci said bluntly, "Let's make love first. I'm still special."

"affair".

Qi Zang almost couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this word.

But soon he felt that it was very sweet—at least there was a word for "love".

Xu Ci turned to leave again, but was held back by Qi Zang again.

Looking back at Qi Zang, he asked, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Qi Zang looked at him with a smile on his face, "I'll ask you another question."

Xu Ci: "Ask."

Qi Zang squeezed his hand. "Then... when you were at Zishui Waterfall, did you get jealous when you found out about my blind date?"

Qi Zang originally wanted to tease Xu Ci, but when he thought of something, the smile in his eyes dropped again.

"No, Xiaoci, if you were eight years ago... then you have been...

"If I didn't misunderstand you, you...you liked me eight years ago, right? It's not like what you said last time, you never had a heart? Then during these eight years... If you miss me, you How did you live? I keep your hair anyway."

Xu Ci: "..."

After a long silence, Xu Ci raised his head and touched his head again.

Qi Zang:?

Xu Ci: "You didn't hurt your head, did you? Are you stupid?"

Qi Zang: "Hey Xiaoci—?!"

"Good night. Go to bed early."

Xu Ci lifted the quilt for him and left.

late at night.

Xu Ci took a shower and was about to go to bed when his phone turned on.

Lift it up and take a look——

Lin Jingtong called him.
