Deep Sea Contract

After that extremely short conversation, Pei Lang did not speak to his special patient for a long time.

Shuo Xun was silent most of the time, his beautiful face was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, but when the needle pierced the back of his hand, his brows were slightly frowned, like the distant mountains smudged by ink.

"You will be discharged from the hospital in two days, and you still have to rest well today." Even if there is no response, the responsible doctor must carefully advise.

When Pei Lang left the ward, he saw that slender figure standing in front of the window, the sunlight cast a layer of warmth on that thin figure.

Every morning when changing the dressing, Shuo Xun always looked in the direction of the rising sun. Pei Lang once followed his gaze and looked out, all he could see was a green lawn in the hospital garden.

What is he looking at?

This curiosity was finally suppressed by Pei Lang.Check at seven o'clock every day, change the dressing, leave, and the same thing the next day.

Pei Lang shook his head, and walked towards the nurse's station. When he reached the door, he heard the chirping voices of the nurses.

"Doctor Pei, let's give that monster another injection."

"No way, Doctor Pei is so nice, what if he was eaten by a monster?"

"That can't be helped. Didn't you see that the monster was carried by the young master?"

……

monster?

Standing outside the door, Pei Lang coughed lightly, walked in, and put back the dressing change, and heard the female nurse behind her whisper, "Doctor Pei, you and that monster..."

"There are no monsters here, don't spread rumors." Regardless of the murmurs behind him, Pei Lang walked outside the door. For some reason, the usually deserted corridor in the early morning was full of people, and the buzzing sound of discussions made people hear the eardrums It hurts.

Pei Lang squeezed into the crowd, and a familiar figure was seen in the center of the crowd.Shuo Xun seemed completely unaffected by the noisy environment, standing alone by the window in a daze, with no one three meters behind him.

A trace of surprise flashed in Pei Lang's eyes, he walked over and patted the shoulder of the person who was looking out the window, "Mr. Shuo, why are you here?"

Shuo Xun turned around, his calm face paled in the morning light, "Can I chat with you for a few minutes, Dr. Pei?"

Pei Lang nodded and followed the footsteps of the man in front.A few minutes later, the doctor's office was filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.

The morning wind was cool, blowing over Shuo Xun's hair that was draped over his shoulders. Shuo Xun turned around and took the coffee cup that was emitting heat from Pei Lang, his complexion became more bloody in the heat.

"I heard what you said to the nurse. Mermaids' perception ability far surpasses that of humans. From a human perspective, it is wrong to classify them as monsters."

Taking a sip of the coffee, the soft mellow aroma spread in his mouth, Shuo Xun caught a glimpse of the dark brown liquid in the cup held by the man in front of him, which was obviously different from his.

"Drinking too much black coffee is bad for your stomach. Yours is a cappuccino." Noticing the scrutinizing gaze, Pei Lang explained with a smile.

After staring at the smile for a few seconds, Shuo Xun turned his head to look out the window again, "...Thank you."

A few sparrows landed on the poles. The weather is getting warmer this season, and most of the winter snow has disappeared.

"You're wondering why I look in the same direction every time." Shuo Xun's voice was flat.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Pei Lang readily admitted, "Now, do I have the honor to be satisfied with my curiosity?"

Unexpectedly, Shuo Xun was silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth: "In this direction, until the end of the east, there is a deep blue sea called Canghai, which is my hometown."

Hometown...

For some reason, a strange idea flashed in Pei Lang's mind - this is a person who cannot leave.

Presumably this sentence is cruel to Shuo Xun, but why can't he leave?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Pei Lang asked in a low voice, "Do you want to go back to your hometown?"

This sentence seemed to have an astonishing effect, Pei Lang looked at the sculptural face, and the corners of his lips raised an extremely gentle arc.Shuo Xun looked at him, there seemed to be a hazy mist in his eyes.

"Doctor Pei, are you transferred from the Li family?"

Unexpected turning point, Pei Lang nodded.

For a certain moment, an indescribable expression appeared on Shuo Xun's face, but when he spoke, he returned to frowning slightly: "Doctor Pei, can you do me a favor?"

"My younger brother is in the deep pool called Xiliyuan, [-] miles east of Li's house. He is born with a bad constitution and gets sick easily. I don't worry about him. Can you visit him for me?"

The sparrows on the poles flew away.

The office was quiet again, Pei Lang thought of the inexplicable request he agreed to a moment ago, and touched his nose helplessly.

[If you help me, we can be regarded as friends, please call me by my name next time, Mr. Shuo. ]

[...You can also call me by my name directly, Pei Lang. ]

The simple two words that came out of that mouth made people feel happy unconsciously.

Suddenly there was a terrified scream from the nurse in the corridor.

Pei Lang strode to the door, opened the door, and a strong smell of blood came over his face.

In the corridor, two men twitched and breathed their last.

Standing next to the two fresh corpses, Shuo Xun looked at the blood splattered on his body with disgust, and casually threw away the blood-stained murder weapon in his hand—it was brought out of Pei Lang's office.

Just half a minute ago, the pen he brought out easily pierced the throats of two adults with lightning speed.

In the office, Yuren's good hearing has allowed Shuo Xun to distinguish that the two people passing by the door are the ones who poured the last bucket of salt water on his broken body in the previous life.

The moment the door was opened, the killing intent grew uncontrollably.

The merman is pure and kind in nature, he is a child of the sea...but he can't let go of such an unforgettable pain.

The on-the-spot murder caused a panic in the hospital, and no one approached him. The special assistant of the young master of the Li family officially confirmed the title of "monster".

Shuo Xun stood by the bed, looked down at the blood-stained hospital gown, stretched out his hand, and his white fingertips were also stained scarlet.

[So worried why doesn't he go and see for himself? ] Pei Lang's words are still ringing in his ears.

How could he go back... Let the person who is connected with his blood see such a terrible self...

The Li family has always been strictly hierarchical, and when two servants died, the assistant Li Sheng sent to him would naturally find a reasonable excuse, so there was no need to worry.

Shuo Xun took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. He seldom smoked. As a mermaid in the deep sea, he didn't need this kind of thing. When he came to Li's house, he learned to smoke after spending time with Li Sheng.

The appearance of Li Sheng smoking is very charming, holding the cigarette with two fingers, the sparks are burning, his eyes are calm, and then he exhales the smoke gracefully, a wisp of white mist can't help but make his heart beat faster.

No, it was the heartbeat of the past.

With a snap, Shuo Xun opened the silver-gray Zippo in his hand, and was about to ignite it, but was forced to close it.

"Smoking is harmful to your health." Pei Lang took the cigarette and stuffed it into the trash can.

The assistant on the phone was walking in their direction.

"Doesn't doctors dislike lowly lives?" Shuo Xun turned his head to look at Pei Lang beside him, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You are not someone who would despise life, and these two people are not good people either." Pei Lang shrugged, and was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by the assistant who rushed over.

The assistant respectfully made a gesture of invitation to Shuo Xun: "Mr. Shuo, the young master welcomes you, the car is already waiting downstairs."

Pei Lang frowned slightly, but saw the people around him walking towards the elevator without saying a word.In the noisy surroundings, the tall and thin figure in hospital gown seemed a bit lonely.
