between light and shadow

Lying on the hospital bed and waking up, Xun Ran turned her head and saw Xiaomin taking her blood pressure and body temperature.After being admitted to the hospital last night, there was a series of examinations. After two days of running around and with the pain in his feet, Xun Ran couldn't stand it any longer, and fell asleep in a daze.But he knew that Xiaomin stayed by his side and took care of him all night without sleep.Xunran struggled to sit up on the bed, Xiaomin hurriedly pressed Xunran's shoulder to stop him.

"Don't move around, watch out for the wound!"

"I'm fine, you can take a rest."

"It's okay, if you don't take a good rest, you will not even be a policeman at any time!"

"No." Xun Ran touched his injured leg, with a firm expression on his face, "Doctor Zhao also said that it will be fine, just take a good rest for a while."

The question is, can you really rest well?Xiaomin shouted in her heart, but she didn't say it, because she already knew the answer.Xiaomin turned her face away, she really didn't want to cry in front of Xunran anymore, but the tears still flowed down.She was the one who got Xunran involved in this case. If she knew it would be like this, she would not ask Xunran for help. Anyway, as Zhang Wei said, it has been so long and there is no evidence. How to reverse the case ?What's more, even if Zhang Wei is caught, the younger brother will never be found.

Xun Ran seemed to guess Xiaomin's sadness and remorse, and finally sat up by herself, and pulled Xiaomin to sit beside her.

"Don't give up, it's not time to despair."

"I'm sorry..." Xiaomin unconsciously glanced at Xunran's bandaged leg.

"My foot injury has nothing to do with you from the beginning to the end, so you don't have to take it to heart."

"Xunran, let's forget it. Even if Zhang Wei is caught, he won't know about my brother, and it's even more impossible for my mother to be resurrected. I don't want to hurt you any more."

"No matter how long it has passed, doing wrong is doing wrong. If every criminal indulges in this way, how can there be peace in this society? Also, let me say this for the last time, you have not implicated anyone. It is our responsibility to hunt down Zhang Wei .”

Xiaomin stopped talking, she was really tired.

Xun Ran looked at Xiaomin, and finally summoned up the courage to say, "Xiao Min, let me take care of you. No matter what happens, you can be the first to tell me, it doesn't matter if you laugh or cry in front of me, I will always They will be there to support you and protect you.”

Listening to this affectionate confession, Xiaomin was really moved, but still couldn't help pointing at Xunran's injured leg and teasing, "Who needs more care now."

"I can take care of myself!"

Seeing Xun Ran blushing and desperately trying to explain, Xiaomin couldn't help but burst out laughing.How could she not understand the feelings of the people around her, Xiaomin took the initiative to hug Xunran, and whispered in Xunran's ear, "Thank you... for loving me."

Ji Bai and Tang Xin just came to the door of the ward and saw this scene. They looked at each other and smiled, and stood in the corridor for a while.Afterwards, Ji Bai still couldn't bear it anymore, coughed dryly a few times, and raised his voice, "Boy, I'm here to pick you up and leave the hospital!"

Xiaomin hurriedly separated from Xunran and then stood up. She lowered her head shyly and brushed her hair. Xunran also tried to pretend to be natural, but their movements were very consistent.Only then did Ji Bai lead Tang Xin into the ward slowly.

Xiaomin's protection order was approved, but Xiaomin refused to take it.If Zhang Wei saw that she was being protected by the police, he might give up the idea of ​​killing Xiaomin, but Xiaomin wanted Zhang Wei to show up so that he could have a chance to catch him.

"No, this is too dangerous!"

Xun Ran was naturally the first to object.Ji Bai also disagreed.For them, there are many ways to arrest people, but Xiao Min's safety is still the most important.

"Now he killed Aunt Feng and is a fugitive in the murder case. If he keeps hiding, we will never find him. I am the most likely to lure him out now."

"If he does show up, will you be able to ensure your safety?"

Xiaomin shook her head, "But I still want to gamble."

"no!"

"Aren't you still by my side? I'm not afraid."

Ji Bai looked at Xiaomin with a determined face, then at Xunran who was in a panic, and sighed, "How about this, Xiao Min, you continue to take unpaid leave and Xunran moves to your house, the two of you take good care of each other Leave it to me. Leave Zhang Wei's matter to me, and you don't have to think about it any more."

Before leaving the ward, Ji Bai walked up to Xun Ran and whispered, "It seems that you are destined to be ridden on the head by a woman in this life."

Xunran raised the crutch in his hand and waved it towards Ji Bai. Ji Bai smiled and turned his body slightly, dodging gracefully. Min left behind.

When the four of them passed the hospital lobby, they met Zhao Qiping who was in a hurry, and he was about to rush to the next operation.Tang Xin called to stop Dr. Zhao, "Is Annie still at your house tonight? I called her and she didn't answer."

"I don't know." Zhao Qiping smiled helplessly and shook his head.

Zhao Qiping has been on duty in the hospital for the past two days and has not been home.After receiving Annie's text message last night, he made a phone call during his free time, and only then did he know that Annie had gone to his home.He was still thinking about whether he could get off work early tonight, and he hadn't seen his girlfriend for a whole week.

"Annie seems weird these two days, are you all right?"

Zhao Qiping tilted his head and thought for a while, it's okay, there is no time to meet each other, let alone quarrel.Annie knew the nature of his work from the very beginning, and she was not the kind of girl who would lose her temper over trivial matters. This was one of the reasons why Zhao Qiping felt comfortable with her.

______________________________

Zhao Qiping stood at the door and took a look in his pocket before finding the key.Today, I had four operations in a row, and my hands were still trembling when I opened the door with the key.

After entering the house, I looked around, but there was no sign of Annie.Zhao Qiping called Annie a few times, and then saw Annie fell asleep in the room.Zhao Qiping looked at his watch, it was only around eight o'clock in the evening, Annie usually wouldn't go to bed so early, and she slept so soundly that she didn't even know anyone entered the room.

Zhao Qiping walked to the bedside and touched Annie's forehead lightly, worrying if Annie was ill, Annie woke up.

"I'm home."

"Sorry, the hospital has been very busy these two days. Did you go to bed so early?"

"Well, a little tired."

"Are you okay, what's wrong?"

"fine."

Zhao Qiping came out after taking a shower and saw Annie half lying on the bed reading a magazine, so he sat down beside Annie, hugged Annie's waist intimately, and leaned his head on Annie's shoulder.

"It's still the most comfortable at home, and it feels so good to see someone waiting for me when I come back."

Zhao Qiping kissed Annie's cheek, and when he wanted to move further, Annie suddenly moved her body, obviously resisting.

"what happened?"

"Didn't you say you were tired, go to bed early."

Zhao Qiping looked at Annie. He could see that Annie was talking about him. He remembered that when he met Tang Xin in the hospital, he said that Annie seemed to be inappropriate.

"Nini, you know, you can tell me about anything."

Annie hesitated for a moment, looked up at Zhao Qiping, "Why don't we separate for a while and calm down."

This sentence was unexpected and somewhat inexplicable, Zhao Qiping couldn't react for a while.

"why?"

"I... just want to calm down."

"This reason is not enough to convince me," Zhao Qiping paused, "You fell in love with someone else?" This was the only reason he could think of.

Annie shook her head.It was because she loved him so much that she felt overwhelmed.

"Then why?"

Annie hesitated, looking at Zhao Qiping's urgent eyes, she hesitated and couldn't speak.But she also knew that Zhao Qiping wouldn't let her go if she didn't make it clear.

"I am pregnant."

Zhao Qiping was stunned.

Seeing that Zhao Qiping didn't make a sound, Annie further confirmed her guess, "I know, you haven't thought about having a child at this time, let alone getting married."

"No...I..." Zhao Qiping rarely looked at a loss, and even stuttered.

"Don't worry, I won't hold you responsible, so let's break up."

Annie's heart ached.Although she had already guessed that Zhao Qiping would react like this, when she saw that Zhao Qiping didn't even keep him, she couldn't help but shed tears.She loves Zhao Qiping and doesn't want to use the child to restrain him, but she can't give up the child, so she can only choose to leave Zhao Qiping.

Watching Annie rush out the door, Zhao Qiping's stiff body could not move.At this moment his mind is blank.It happened so suddenly that he had no time to digest it.

______________________________

Annie walked on the street, the more she tried to hold back her tears, the more she couldn't control the tears, and finally she could only kneel down on the side of the street desperately, sobbing with her head in her arms.

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly a pair of feet stopped in front of him.Annie looked up and saw that it was Mingcheng, so she quickly stood up and wiped away her tears in embarrassment.

"It's cold outside, go sit inside."

Only then did Annie see herself standing in front of the Punk Cafe.She tightened her jacket slightly, only then did she notice the cool wind blowing over her body.When he was hesitating whether to go in, the phone rang, which belonged to Zhao Qiping's unique ringtone. Annie immediately turned off the phone, and then strode into the cafe.

Mingcheng looked at Annie's back, and was about to follow her in, but accidentally caught a glimpse of Zhao Qiping walking not far away, holding a mobile phone, looking around anxiously, as if looking for someone.

"Hey!"

Zhao Qiping looked back when he heard the sound, and Mingcheng was standing in front of the store with a half-smile.

"Looking for someone?"

Zhao Qiping nodded, but before he could speak, Mingcheng pointed his chin into the cafe.Zhao Qiping poked his head and saw Annie sitting in a corner, thanked Mingcheng casually, and hurried in.

Annie looked up and suddenly saw Zhao Qiping sitting down across the table, panting slightly, startled, and was about to ask how he found him, but Zhao Qiping spoke first.

"I'm sorry, I was just...too sudden, I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, you're just expressing your truest feelings." With a sour tone, she deliberately avoided Zhao Qiping's eyes. In fact, Annie didn't know how to face him.

"I will be responsible, no, it should be said, we will take this responsibility together."

"I don't want you to be with me out of responsibility."

"Why do you think so? At first we were together because of love, but now that we have a child, you start to doubt my love for you?"

"I'm just afraid that our love will go sour."

They had never talked about marriage before, because they both enjoyed the freedom and happiness of the moment, and they both agreed not to mention the future, so this sudden news was quite shocking to both Zhao Qiping and Annie.

"I understand what you are worried about, but since God gave us this gift, maybe it is also reminding us that we should plan our future well."

"You really don't resist having a child suddenly at this time?"

"He is my child, what am I resisting?"

Zhao Qiping took out a small box from his pocket, which contained a crystal clear diamond bracelet.

"This was originally intended to be a birthday present for you, but now there is an emergency and there is no time to prepare the ring, so I have to use this instead."

"You want to propose with a bracelet? How can this work!"

"Why not? Who stipulated that only rings can be used for marriage proposals?"

Zhao Qiping was about to kneel down in front of Annie, but Annie hurriedly reached out to stop him.In public, she herself was embarrassed, so how could she be willing to let Zhao Qiping be laughed at.

"What are you afraid of? This is nothing to be ashamed of."

Zhao Qiping knelt down on one knee calmly, holding the bracelet with both hands.

"Miss Chen Anni, are you willing to marry Zhao Qiping?"

Annie suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.When she first met Zhao Qiping, Zhao Qiping also knelt down on one knee in front of her.It turned out that from the first meeting, she was destined to marry this man.
