The first day of the short holiday.

Nie Zheng had just arrived at the amusement park when it was closed.

As the number of people decreased and the time they had agreed upon was getting closer, Chong Jianzhi suddenly lost contact, did not reply to messages, and did not answer calls.

Nie Zheng was no stranger to this situation. Chong Jianzhi often turned off his phone during meetings, so it was normal that he couldn't be contacted.

Sitting on the stone steps at the entrance of the amusement park, the glowing cat ears on my head were almost out of battery.

Chong Jianzhi still could not see anyone.

Nie Zheng was still worried that Chong Jianzhi had drunk too much at a social gathering, but she didn't know that her brother was in the hospital with another woman.

After finishing a meeting with a client early, Chong Jianzhi changed into casual clothes and prepared to go to the amusement park to keep a meeting.

This time I received a familiar phone call.

It was Dr. Qiao Xing’s psychologist calling.

This doctor always reports bad news but not good news. Just by looking at his phone number, Chong Jianzhi knew that something must have happened to Qiao Xing again.

as predicted.

"Ms. Qiao Xing's condition has been unstable recently. Her insomnia has become more serious and her suicidal tendencies have become more obvious. Mr. Chong, you haven't visited her for a long time. If you have time, please come over."

Chong Jianzhi frowned: "Now?"

"Now."

On one side is Nie Zheng who is waiting for a date with him, and on the other side is Qiao Xing who may slit his wrists and commit suicide at any time.

After checking his phone, he saw that there was still an hour before the time they had agreed on, so Chong Jianzhi decided to go to Qiao Xing's house first.

When I saw Qiao Xing, she was sitting on the edge of the bed in a pure white nightgown, looking out the window with empty eyes.

Just from her back you can tell that she is very thin, with only her skeleton visible under the thin cloth.

Chong Jianzhi called out Qiao Xing's name softly.

"Jianzhi, you are here..."

Qiao Xing was staggering, as if he was going to fall down in the next second.

Chong Jianzhi is not a heartless person. Seeing Qiao Xing become like this, it is impossible for him not to feel sad.

Originally she was a favored girl of heaven, but because of her acquaintance with me, she became what she is now.

"how are things?"

Qiao Xing was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly stood up from the bed: "I should take my medicine."

In front of Chong Jianzhi, Qiao Xing gathered the three piles of pills on the table into his palm and poured them all into his mouth.

Anyone would feel uncomfortable in that kind of scene.

Qiao Xing slowly walked up to Chong Jianzhi and reached out to tug at the corner of Chong Jianzhi's clothes.

"I miss you so much." He hugged Chong Jianzhi, "Please don't leave, okay?"

Chong Jianzhi did not move. There was not a ripple of love in his heart, but it was filled with guilt.

It was impossible not to leave, but Chong Jianzhi still felt soft-hearted and had dinner with her.

The dinner was very long. Qiao Xing seemed to be deliberately delaying the time. He wanted to keep the man longer.

"You have to take good care of yourself...you are Qiao Xing."

When she left, Qiao Xing stood at the door and looked at Chong Jianzhi. She asked him expectantly, "Will you come to see me often?"

Chong Jianzhi nodded.

After watching Chong Jianzhi leave, Qiao Xing saw the door slowly close. Until the last time, there was no gap left.

The weak and fragile Qiao Xing disappeared in an instant. His pleading and expectant eyes instantly became sharp.

It turns out that she was just pretending all this.

The mirror reflected Qiao Xing's face full of impatience.

The phone rang and she picked up the phone. The music on the other end was so chaotic and noisy that it gave her a headache.

"Where are you going tonight? Okay, I'll be there right away."

When he put down his phone and came out of the bedroom, Qiao Xing had completely changed.

The sickly girl disappeared completely.

It turned out that all her sickness was just a pretense, just to tie Chong Jianzhi down, kidnap him, and make him unable to escape forever.

Guilt is the most powerful weapon.

……

It was past the agreed time, Chong Jianzhi got off the car in a hurry and called Nie Zheng to ask her where she was.

"I've already gone back."

Nie Zheng's voice trembled slightly, and her hands were numb from the cold.

"Really?"

"real."

Chong Jianzhi finally arrived at the entrance of the amusement park. There were only a few pedestrians on the road at that time. He was very familiar with the figure on the stone steps. Who else could it be but Nie Zheng?

"Look back."

Nie Zheng's legs were a little numb from sitting there. She turned around with great effort and saw her brother standing not far away opposite her.

It was impossible to say that she was not angry. Looking at the man breathing heavily, Nie Zheng still walked towards him.

"What's going on? You're a full 48 minutes late."

Seeing Nie Zheng's face turned red from the cold, Chong Jianzhi felt so distressed that he quickly held her face and rubbed it.

"I...the client was too difficult to deal with, so I wasted some time."

Nie Zheng had no doubts. Chong gradually realized that he was busy at work and could encounter unexpected situations at any time.

"Okay, I don't blame you, I blame the customers."

Nie Zheng's consideration made Chong Jianzhi feel a little uncomfortable.

He was extremely conflicted, but still didn't tell the truth.

"what happened?"

Chong Jianzhi shook his head and pinched the kitten headband on Nie Zheng's head: "Let's go in, it's still early."

Facts have proved that Chong Jianzhi's previous fantasies were all wrong.

He thought he had experienced a lot of ups and downs, and that roller coasters and bungee jumping were just child's play.

But it was unexpected that the president of Chongda, who was well-known in the business world, still could not overcome the fear brought by the feeling of weightlessness.

On the other hand, Nie Zheng became more and more excited as she played, and she pulled Chong Jianzhi to accompany her to do various difficult projects.

"Brother, I want to play this!"

Nie Zheng said excitedly, pointing at the large pendulum not far away.

Chong Jianzhi only relied on his last bit of dignity to hold back from spitting it out.

He pointed weakly to the other side: "How about playing this?"

Nie Zheng frowned, because Chong Jianzhi was referring to nothing else but the carousel that only children would like.

"Are you serious?"

Chong Jianzhi nodded and pulled Nie Zheng onto the fairy tale carousel.

The carousel went up and down with the music. Chong Jianzhi hugged the horse's head tightly, trying to calm down.

At this moment, there was a sudden bang and beautiful fireworks exploded in the sky.

One after another, the momentary splendor illuminates the dark night sky.

"is it beautiful?"

Nie Zheng looked up, still immersed in it and unable to extricate herself: "So beautiful..."

She didn't know that Richard and Bian Xiaoyue were at the moat outside the amusement park at this time, on guard against the police coming to arrest them at any time.

"Chong Jianzhi is such a bastard! Doesn't he know that setting off fireworks is prohibited in the city? He's having fun in the amusement park while I'm sitting here worried." Bian Xiaoyue covered her ears under the tree and couldn't help complaining.

But Richard next to her was very happy and was thanking Chong Jianzhi for giving them a chance to be alone.

"Stop laughing! You won't even know the police are coming."

Speak of the devil and he will appear. Richard was quick-witted and grabbed Bian Xiaoyue's hand and ran away.

"Brother, why do I hear sirens?"

Chong Jianzhi coughed twice in embarrassment: "You may have heard it wrong."

"The fireworks are gone, and I still want to play that. Can you go with me?"

Chong Jianzhi gave up hope, knowing that he was doomed to be hit by the pendulum tonight.

"Wait a moment."

Chong Jianzhi grabbed Nie Zheng.
