from my heart [last days]

In the first few days, Xie Congxin didn't feel that there was anything wrong with everyone's attitude towards him.

The fact that he was kidnapped by Zhou An was too unexpected, and the other three cannot be blamed entirely, but it is also true that they did not protect him well. It is inevitable that Cheng Yinshang and Peng He would feel guilty, so they showed him more than before. It's also normal to be concerned.

However, within a few days, when Peng He looked at him cautiously, sympathetically and blamed himself for the fourth time and was caught, Xie Congxin realized that they might have misunderstood something.

But he didn't say anything.

It's not that I didn't explain it on purpose, it's just that there are too many things to worry about, and this small fact that the details don't affect the overall situation can't be brought to the table.

Feng Yun woke up on the afternoon of the third day. As Han Zhen expected, he learned that Kong Minghui had died. He went crazy on the spot, stumbled and rushed downstairs to the morgue, and almost broke his long-growing leg again.

The pain in the world can never be truly empathized without experiencing it first-hand. Xie Congxin stood outside the mortuary, watching him hold Kong Minghui's cold hand with a ferocious expression like a trapped animal. Apart from sarcasm, he didn't have any feelings.

People don't cherish when they are alive, and they have to risk their lives to gamble with a pair of legs. Who can be blamed now? Feng Yun may love Kong Minghui, but it's not enough, not enough for him to make a compromise.

"At the beginning, he insisted on taking risks after hearing about your antibody, but I didn't agree." Xie Lin clasped his hands behind his back, and his tone was as plain as a cliché.

Xie Congxin didn't like his gesture very much, "Why don't you agree?"

Xie Lin glanced at him, "Whether it's for him or for you, this method is too risky."

"If you operate properly, I will lose a little blood at most," Xie Congxin said casually, "It's better than the current situation."

Xie Lin shook his head: "I'm not omniscient, not to mention that I don't have the heart to swallow a snake. He wants a pair of legs now, and he may not be satisfied with this in the future."

Xie Congxin didn't want to discuss such an overly subjective issue with him, "Since you don't want me to come here, why don't you come to see me in person?"

Xie Lin smiled, "I was injured when Chen Hai and I left here. Chen Hai said he would look for you for me, and I agreed. I didn't expect him to have selfish intentions."

"What selfishness?"

"It involves a lot of things," Xie Lin sighed, "I am about the same age as him, but he has never been given a professional title."

Xie Congxin could probably guess the reason, obviously Chen Hai minded the title 'Assistant Chen' very much.

"Also," Xie Lin smiled again, his tone could not hide his pride, "He likes your mother, but your mother chose me in the end."

"..."

Xie Lin looked sideways, and his meaningful smile was very obvious. He was waiting for Xie Congxin to ask.

However, Xie Congxin looked at him speechlessly, not wanting to cooperate with his sudden desire to show off.

"Okay," Xie Lin sighed, "We'll talk when you want to hear it."

"I thought you two had a good relationship," Xie Congxin pulled the topic away from Su Peilan, "What does he want me to do?"

"You know that 'person' in Beijing," Xie Lin said, "Let's call him 'person' for now. The reason why the project started back then was because of his strong support."

"For now?" Xie Congxin said, "More than one person?"

"Of course more than that," Xie Lin said, "Such a dangerous project is not something that any individual has the authority to launch."

"and after?"

"Later..." Xie Lin looked at the back of Feng Yun kneeling on the ground, "Later, the mainstream forces above demanded that the project be stopped. We packed up our things and wanted to destroy all the data, but that 'person' was not reconciled."

Xie Congxin can probably understand why everyone, including Su Shiqing, kept secret what happened back then.

No matter how noisy they are in the academic circle, it is just a hedging of ideas, and it is a matter between themselves.

But there is another circle. Once conflicts arise, the spread is unimaginable. That is the pinnacle of human power. The class is prominent. Some people can turn their hands into clouds and turn their hands into rain. People stand taller and see farther than him.

"So he injected my mother with that stock solution," Xie Congxin said, "or rather, he forced you to do so."

Xie Lin shook his head, "No, your mother's matter had nothing to do with him at first."

"..."

Xie Lin saw the surprise in his eyes, "Cong Xing, I can probably guess what Su Shiqing told you. To protect you, he won't tell the truth completely. I know you have the right to know the truth, but if the truth Come out of my mouth, I don't think you will believe it."

Xie Congxin said: "You can talk about it, the choice to believe it or not is up to me."

Xie Lin's pupils behind the lenses fixedly looked at him.

"... Forget it," Xie Congxin turned to the beginning, "I will find the answer myself."

Xie Lin smiled, "You will find it."

Xie Congxin was silent for two seconds.

He really doesn't like this feeling.

Everyone knew, but he was kept in the dark.

Whether it was Xie Lin, Chen Hai, Su Shiqing, or even his mother who had never met, all of them pretended to be good for him, but no one really asked him. What do you want.

"You haven't answered my question yet," Xie Congxin said calmly, "Why did Chen Hai look for me?"

"Well, it's halfway through," Xie Lin said, "We left Beijing back then because that person didn't give up. He took advantage of your mother's accident and forced Chen Hai and me to leave Beijing with the documents. You also know that we were wanted. For many years, China is so big, there are cameras everywhere, but no one has caught us, you can think of the reason."

"That person is in the Ministry of State Security," Xie Congxin speculated, "is it the same person who sent Zhou An to prevent me from returning to Beijing?"

"It should be," Xie Lin said, "I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know much about the changes there. In the past few years, Chen Hai and I have received intermittent contact, and the research results here are regularly visited by people. I don't know how far he has progressed, but this meteorite crash is undoubtedly an opportunity for him."

Xie Congxin said: "So Chen Hai wants to send me to that person to claim credit?"

"Maybe," Xie Lin smiled, "maybe he just wanted to see you before me—he always regarded you as Pei Lan's child, but he was unwilling to admit that I was your father."

"..."

"It's useless to say these things, he is gone," Xie Lin sighed, "I have known him for 30 years, except for Shi Qing, he is my last friend."

What is the definition of 'friend'?Xie Congxin couldn't understand.

"The fate between people is very wonderful," Xie Lin suddenly turned his head and looked at the other side of the courtyard garden of the hospital, "We still have to cherish it."

Xie Congxin followed him and turned around. Following his gaze, he saw Pei Ze leaning against the wisteria trellis.

The other party had obviously stood there for a while, the sunlight piercing through the withered vines, mottled on the tall and straight figure, quiet and beautiful like an oil painting.

"The science we have can't explain everything," Xie Lin smiled at Pei Ze from a distance, "Just like thoughts are uncontrollable and have infinite possibilities, so are feelings."

"..." Xie Congxin was not surprised that Xie Lin had seen something from his relationship with Pei Ze, but felt that it was a very strange thing to talk to him from Xie Lin's standpoint.

The two walked towards Pei Ze, Pei Ze nodded to Xie Lin as a greeting, Xie Lin smiled and said: "I heard that you cook very well, Cong Xing's anemia will be more serious recently, you can see what can make up for it." Yes, feed him more."

The corner of Xie Congxin's mouth twitched, and he was about to say, 'You care too much', when Pei Ze said, "Okay."

"..."

Leaving aside the improvement in food, Pei Ze got a bag of red dates from somewhere, and started to make tea for him every day, and put it in the dark green thermos that Fan Zheng gave. Earthy.

To talk about Pei Ze's style, it's okay to cook a dish, but the matter of making jujube tea is so out of harmony that Xie Congxin feels that something is wrong when drinking it every day.

Two days later, his blood report returned to normal, and the antibody density remained stable. Xie Lin drew his first blood, [-] milliliters, half of which was sent to the freezer for backup, and the other half was injected into Pei Ze's blood vessel.

Pei Ze was sitting aside when the blood was drawn, and the blood transfusion was in the same room. Xie Congxin was lying on the hospital bed, watching Xie Lin insert the other end of the blood transfusion set|into the vein of Pei Ze's arm.

Then Xie Lin left, and there were only the two of them left in the room. Pei Ze sat less than a step away, meeting his eyes. After a while, Xie Congxin took the lead to look away and closed his eyes.

It's far easier to keep a distance than to get closer.

As long as you don't say too much, don't do too much, he is not an easy person to get along with, and it is obvious enough to treat Pei Ze with an attitude towards others.

Nearly two weeks later, Xie Congxin recovered physically, and they packed up their things and prepared to start again.

Feng Yun's leg has recovered, but his overall condition is very poor, so he didn't come out to see them off. Han Zhen sent people to prepare a car, food and weapons for them. The weather was suddenly cold, and he also prepared a lot of winter clothes, enough for them to reach Beijing|Beijing.

Dr. Xu gave Xie Congxin a few O-type blood bags for emergencies, and Xie Lin a USB flash drive, "All the information you want is in it, and the equipment of the National Academy of Sciences is better than here, and everything in it can be extracted. "

Xie Congxin nodded and took it, Xie Lin said again: "Say hello for me when you see Shi Qing, I will go back when the time is right."

Xie Congxin looked at him for two seconds and said, "Yes."

Xie Lin turned his head again, walked to the driver's seat, and knocked on the window.

Pei Ze, who was adjusting his seat, lowered the car window. Xie Lin instructed: "The antibodies in your body are not stable, so don't get too excited emotionally, and try to avoid prolonged battles. When necessary, rely on Cong Xing."

Pei Ze once again felt the deep meaning in his words.

"Take care of each other," Xie Lin said, "I'm far away and can't see him, so I can only ask you."

Pei Ze didn't know how to answer him.

Xie Lin didn't need his answer either, he waved his hand casually and said, "Let's go, see you in Beijing."
