from my heart [last days]

The first thing Xie Congxin did when he woke up was to take off the bandage and take a shower in the middle of the night despite Cheng Yinshang's dissuasion.

Cheng Yinshang was locked outside the bathroom and waited for him for an hour, during which time he knocked on the door repeatedly: "Your fever hasn't gone away, your wound hasn't scabbed yet, you will be infected..."

Xie Congxin ignored him, rubbed it from head to toe repeatedly three times, and turned off the water until every inch of skin started to turn red. Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, he looked at himself in the mirror through the misty mist.

The marks left by Zhou An spread all over his body, some of them had faded, but the ones on his neck were extremely tenacious, turning dark purple, and it would take at least a few days to completely disappear.

Click, the lock of the bathroom was opened from the outside.

Xie Congxin turned his head and saw Pei Ze and Cheng Yinshang standing at the door, Cheng Yinshang said awkwardly, "I was afraid you had something to do, so I asked the captain to unlock it."

Xie Congxin replied with a cold smile: "What could be the matter? There are no windows here, Deputy Zhou will never appear suddenly and kidnap me again."

"..." Cheng Yinshang choked, and it was indeed their fault for not protecting Xie Congxin well, but it was Xie Congxin who insisted on coming to Zheng|zhou, and it was Xie Congxin who made the battle plan...

Xie Congxin gathered the collar of the bathrobe to cover the deep purple marks, and wearing damp slippers, he came out of the bathroom expressionlessly, sat on the bed, opened the medicine box next to the bed, and prepared to disinfect himself Wound.

Cheng Yinshang hurriedly said, "I'll come!"

He walked over and took out the alcohol from the medicine box. Xie Congxin looked up at him and said, "I'll do it myself."

Cheng Yin said, "It's not convenient for you to do it yourself..."

He sat next to Xie Congxin, and was about to stretch out his hand to pull his collar, when Xie Congxin stepped back a little, and said again: "I'll do it myself."

"..." Cheng Yinshang's hand stopped in the air in embarrassment.

He had a low fever for two days, and his voice was hoarse, but he couldn't hide his determination. Cheng Yinshang couldn't force it, so he could only look at Pei Ze for help.

Xie Congxin didn't say anything, neither did Pei Ze, but he wasn't Peng He. The moment he saw a few marks on Xie Congxin's neck, he probably understood what happened, and he could understand Xie Congxin's feeling that strangers should not enter at this moment.

It's just that the wound is a wound after all, and he can't fix it with one hand.

Pei Ze nodded to him.

Cheng Yinshang understood, breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and asked Xie Congxin, "Academician Xie, do you want something to eat?"

"Whatever." Xie Congxin turned his head away.

"Then I'll go and see if there's anything to eat," Cheng Yinshang stood up, "I'll bring it over later."

Xie Congxin didn't say yes or no, but just closed his eyes in the direction of the window. In fact, that's not what he minded.

Cheng Yinshang opened the door and left.

Xie Congxin opened his eyes and saw Pei Ze's reflection on the window glass.

A black sports suit is wrapped around a body of nearly 1.9 meters, which conceals the muscle lines underneath, but the broad shoulders support the shape, which is still very good-looking.

Both hair color and pupils are dark, and you can only see a little brown in the sun. Whether it is the bridge of the nose or the shape of the lips, it is very in line with his aesthetics from head to toe.It's also very satisfying to talk less. There is nothing good or bad about his personality. It's quite pleasant to get along with, and there's nothing to be picky about.

From the current point of view, it is not difficult for their relationship to go further. That little life-saving grace is enough to make someone like Pei Ze who has an overly sense of responsibility compromise everything.

If it was in the past, Xie Congxin would probably not deliberately avoid this question.

Whether in academics or in life, Xie Congxin thinks that there are not many things that can stump him. It is human effort. He never lacks the ability to solve things. As long as he deliberately guides him, it is difficult for Pei Ze to refuse him.

But now, he doesn't want to do that.

Zhou An reminded him that between him and Pei Ze, even if he usually has enough initiative, at certain moments, he is still the weak side, unable to resist at all.

Xie Congxin turned to meet Pei Ze's gaze, and asked calmly, "Did he tell you?"

Pei Ze paused, thinking he was talking about Zhou An, and with Xie Congxin's arrogance, he probably wouldn't want them to know about it...

Xie Congxin misunderstood his pause, "Do you want to know?"

Pei Ze looked at him for a while.

"Whatever you want to say." Pei Ze said.

Xie Congxin nodded, "I said that if we are still alive after Zhengzhou, I will tell you about the antibody."

"..." It turned out to be about this matter.

Pei Ze leaned against the wall next to the door, keeping a distance of nearly one and a half meters from him. This distance made Xie Congxin feel comfortable, without any sense of oppression, and it did not affect the conversation.

He took a breath, and then said: "Xie Lin, you have seen it."

Pei Ze said, "He's upstairs."

Xie Congxin frowned slightly, then showed a little sarcasm, and said, "Actually, I haven't met him yet. He left the National Academy of Sciences when I was born."

Pei Ze tried to find some flaws in his expression and tone, but no, Xie Congxin was impeccable, no matter because of Xie Lin or because of Zhou An, there was no trace of vulnerability.

"When the project was in progress, my mother happened to be pregnant," Xie Congxin said slowly and calmly, as if talking about other people's affairs. "When the project was forced to stop, she was about to give birth and was injected with a virus stock solution."

"..." Pei Ze put down his arms and stood up straight.

"After the outbreak of the virus, she turned into a zombie, and the caesarean section was delivered in time. The evaluation at that time was that I was not infected."

Xie Congxin only talked about the main points and results, but Pei Ze could roughly imagine how many details there are, such as his mother had turned into a corpse when he was born, what would happen in the end; and who injected his mother with the original solution ——

Feng Yun said that Xie Congxin is the greatest "masterpiece" of Xie Lin's life.

"She and I are the last group and the only group of human experiment data," Xie Congxin said lightly, "My previous physical examination every year, except for low blood pressure, is no different from ordinary people. The antibody should be a virus outbreak. After I was bitten, different strains of the virus activated my immune system."

He squinted his eyes slightly, as if impatient, and as if he felt that the story was meaningless to tell,

"Then he fled, along with Chen Hai and several other team members. They were wanted in the name of stealing |state|family|secrets and suspected of intentional homicide."

"..." Pei Ze didn't know what to say.

"This is what my teacher...Su Shiqing told me," Xie Congxin tilted his head, "I never doubted it."

'Haven't doubted' means that there was no doubt before, but now there is, Pei Ze asked: "Why?"

Why have doubts now?Is it because Xie Lin took the initiative to appear?Or was it because he was suspicious of Su Shiqing?

Xie Congxin smiled, "It's not what you think—"

He has never met Xie Lin, who is his father, nor has he ever met his mother, so he has no likes or dislikes when talking about it. Maybe he is born with a weak affection for family. For him, his parents are more important physically than psychologically, so they cannot let him When expectations are generated, naturally there is no disappointment.

Xie Congxin took the bottle of alcohol cotton that Cheng Yinshang put on the bed sheet and squeezed it in his hand. The dark green plastic bottle had no special touch, which was not conducive to thinking.

He lowered his head to look at the label on the back, "I just think it's better to find out everything by yourself."

Pei Ze watched his movements, from the half-dry short chestnut-colored hair swirling in the middle, to the half neck exposed on the collar of the bathrobe, and the shoulders that followed were not very wide. He lost a lot of weight during the bumpy journey. The forechest and back are slightly thin.

Like what?

This kind of Xie Congxin is indescribable, it is so distinct and unique, Pei Ze sometimes feels that there are some similarities between them, and they are also emotionally unreasonable, but he is used to erecting a solid armor, while Xie Cong erects a sharp thorn .

Pei Ze walked over, took the alcohol bottle from him, and sat on the edge of the bed, "Treat the wound first."

Xie Congxin shook his head, and said a third time: "I'll do it myself."

"You can't reach it."

He unscrewed the cap of the alcohol bottle, and reached out to pull Xie Congxin's collar. Xie Congxin narrowed his eyes and avoided it, looking at him with displeasure, and his tone sounded like a warning: "Captain Pei."

"..." During the escape, the neckline of the bathrobe loosened half a centimeter, Pei Ze saw the too dark mark on his collarbone, and his eyes froze uncontrollably.

Xie Congxin was so keen, he immediately pulled up his collar and said, "I'll see him tomorrow, let's come here first today."

This is what it means to send off guests.

Pei Ze put the alcohol bottle on the bedside table, and when he stood up, he said, "Go to sleep after eating."

Xie Congxin did not refuse, but nodded silently.

Pei Ze looked down at his left shoulder from above.

He bit deeply, and the touch of that time is still remembered on his teeth.

The marks left by Zhou An will fade in a few days, but the scars left by the wound he bit off will take years or even decades to slowly fade away.

Xie Congxin cares about this so much, does he also care about this scar?

Pei Ze didn't ask.

He left the room and went upstairs to Feng Yun's room.

After Feng Yun was injected with the 'new vaccine' brought by Xie Lin, he stopped turning into a zombie in time, and his body has stabilized, but he still hasn't woken up yet. Both Xie Lin and Dr. Xu are guarding him in the room.

Seeing him coming up, Xie Lin didn't show any surprise, just glanced at him and said, "Are you awake?"

Pei Ze nodded.

Since Xie Congxin himself did not show resistance to Xie Lin, from his standpoint, it is naturally inappropriate to have any excessive emotions.He just came to ask Dr. Xu to go downstairs to treat Xie Congxin's wound.

After hearing this, Dr. Xu stood up with a sigh, and said to Xie Lin, "Your family is a tosser."

Xie Lin twitched the corner of his mouth, "I owe you a favor."

"What's the use of your favor?" Dr. Xu rolled his eyes, but he didn't refuse. He pushed Pei Ze who was in the way and went downstairs.

Xie Lin pointed to the seat where Dr. Xu sat, and smiled at Pei Ze: "Let's chat?"

Pei Ze didn't know what to talk about with him, but he went over and sat down anyway.

"He's not like me," Xie Lin said while holding a cup of hot tea, "He's quite like his mother."

Pei Ze looked at Feng Yun who was breathing up and down on the bed and didn't answer.

Xie Lin glanced at his profile, and said, "You do look a bit like me."

"..." Pei Ze turned his head and met his probing eyes.

Xie Lin looked away, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "Pei Lan always thinks I don't talk much."

Pei Ze thought, 'Pei Lan' should be the name of Xie Congxin's mother.

"When you were young, you had to say what you should say," Xie Lin said in a drawn-out tone. This kind of conversation made him look like an ordinary old man. "Don't wait until you are old, you will regret it when it is too late."

So is he regretting it?Pei Ze quietly waited for the next sentence.

"But Cong Xing is smarter than us," Xie Lin smiled again, "If you don't tell me, he can understand everything."

Of course, Pei Ze thought, maybe Xie Congxin could see clearly even those things that he himself hadn't had time to figure out——

He paused, what he hadn't figured out yet, what was it?

"There's nothing I can teach you," Xie Lin noticed his momentary pause, and there was a smile in his eyes, "Send him back to Beijing, Su Shiqing won't harm him, he's safer there. "
