Is Mr. Ling doing well today?

The first week of May was fleeting, and the traffic during the Labor Day holiday gradually dropped, so Liang Zhao embarked on this trip to Africa at this time.

Because the batches of dispatches were different, he did not set off with the scientific research team, and only Cen Ning was with him.

"I don't understand, why didn't you tell Ling Xuan when you will go back?"

During the long flight, Cen Ning raised doubts about this more than once.The girl rested her chin on the armrest between the two seats, talking to herself.

"Leaving like this is basically equivalent to forcing you to give up. Who would be willing to wait for someone who has no return date?"

Lying on the soft backrest, Liang Zhao turned over a page of the book in his hand, "Because I have no reason to keep him waiting."

"Oh. So, another seemingly impeccable partner candidate died without a problem with you." Cen Ning responded sullenly, turned back and sat down before making a comment with a soft sigh.

"Brother Liangzhao, your ghostly personality is too persuasive. No matter how good-looking your face is, it can't save a stagnant pool of water."

pat-

Liang Zhao put down the reading material in his hand, the spine of the book hit the small table and made a soft sound, and spoke leisurely.

"You followed me to do a survey of human personality records?"

Yan Can with a smile provoked by Cen Ning, "No, I've already said it all. I want to travel around the world alone from southwest Africa, and I just happen to be with you for the time being. As a foreign language student, it is beneficial to understand the customs and customs of various countries. my studies."

"Family fanatic."

Liang Zhao gave an accurate and fitting definition to the brothers and sisters surnamed Cen and Wu Ze, and then began to rest with his eyes closed.

It took a full 24 hours to start from city A in China, transit twice and then arrive at the destination city G in Africa.At the end of the voyage, Liang Zhao deeply realized that it is better to feel down-to-earth.

Although May here is late autumn and approaching the rainy season, it is still hot during the day.Walking out of the station, the sun above the head began to burn people uncomfortable.

Jian Anning, who came to pick her up in person, was already waiting outside.

This man is 189 tall, with a very friendly oriental face in a foreign country, coupled with his white clothes all year round, he is very recognizable even in the background of mixed races.

"Welcometomycity... eh?"

"Hot." Liang Zhao pushed away the open arms of the immediate boss, said a word indifferently, and went straight to the parking lot behind him.

Jian Anning and Liang Zhao are also close friends for more than twenty years, they have long been accustomed to each other's personalities, and there is only a smile on Biaojun's face that he doesn't care about.

Then he raised his hand and rubbed the head of the accompanying sister, and continued to talk: "Long time no see, little Cen Ning, isn't your brother who demolished the building at the slightest disagreement come?"

"Don't worry, no." Cen Ning smiled and stretched his voice to comfort.

A certain doctor raised his eyebrows, pretended to be exaggeratedly relieved, helped to open the rear door, and said with a smile: "It's really a blessing, my new hospital has just been built."

Jian Anning does have a large-scale medical institution in the city.Unlike public hospitals, private hospitals have more complete and advanced facilities, but the prices are high, so they are located in wealthy areas.

When the car drove into the gate of the hospital, Liang Zhao happened to see a group of security guards with guns changing positions through the glass window.The social security here is evident.

The mountain at the back of the hospital isolates the hustle and bustle in front, and through several winding corridors is Jane Anning's private courtyard.

The decoration here has his usual comfortable style. If you ignore the background, you will not feel that you have come to a new continent.

"I've already had people tidy up the old site before the relocation of the hospital, and I'll take you there after a while. It's going to be used as a laboratory in the future, and you can live there too. Although it's a bit out of the city, it's less crowded and quiet."

Jane Anning nestled comfortably into the soft chair, and tapped the glass on the desk with her beautiful knuckles.In the past half a year, he has made countless video calls with Liang Zhao with this unruly appearance.

"As for little Cen Ning, just stay with me for now, so that I can take you to play around when I have nothing to do. Forget about him, this person is very boring, I don't bother to talk to him."

Boss Jane's tone was joking when he spoke, and the fingers that were tapping on the table were pointed at the subordinate's forehead in embarrassment.

Liang Zhao turned his head slightly to avoid it, and glanced back coldly, "It's the best, I hope you remember what you said now."

After driving away the unscrupulous boss and rebellious sister, Liang Zhao was finally able to lie down and rest to relieve the fatigue caused by the long-distance flight.

The time on the African continent is not shorter or longer than that in China, and the sunrise and sunset are also unique scenery.

As May passed, Liang Zhao gradually started a new job here, and at the same time tried his best to familiarize himself with the surrounding human environment.

Occasionally, in my free time, I would browse domestic information on the roof alone.One day late at night, I chatted with Wu Zeqian for a few words, and when I quit WeChat, I opened the circle of friends casually.

A long-lost handsome face broke into Liang Zhao's sight without warning.

In the first photo, Ling Xuan was wearing a satin blue master's degree gown, with a slender figure, standing beside the principal with a gentle and respectful expression.The second picture shows a group of friends gathering together to celebrate their birthdays. In front of the young man in the center of the camera is an exquisite cake with a golden 23rd birthday card on it.

The picture is accompanied by a simple two-line text:

New year, new beginning;

Happy graduation and happy birthday.

Liang Zhao closed his black eyes and looked at the screen, completely unaware that someone had already walked beside him.

"Yo, handsome enough."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind, and Jian Anning leaned to the side of the stairs wearing a baggy shirt.

"It has nothing to do with you." Liang Zhao turned to avoid his gaze.

Dr. Jian snorted resentfully: "Look what's wrong, I'm not like you and Wu Ze, do you know how to write the word "gangzhi?"

Hearing this man's unscrupulous attitude, Liang Zhao suddenly raised his eyes, and asked squarely, "Do you know who he is?"

"Hiss—" Jian Anning stroked her chin and pretended to think, "Your tone is so serious, it must be..."

Before the words came out, Liang Zhao had already answered: "He is Ling Qian's elder brother."

Jian Anning's sneering expression was fixed at the corners of her eyes, and she didn't move for a long time, even when her old friend rubbed his shoulder and went downstairs, there was no reaction.

Returning to the room, Liang Zhao dropped his cell phone, threw his body into the soft bed, and then gently grasped his old injured right wrist in the dark, remembering that he told a little lie when he saw Ling Qian last time .

In fact, he had met Ling Qian before.She was a hostage in a city kidnapping case three years ago, and was finally rescued by a young special forces member desperately.

Liang Zhao fell asleep peacefully, and then seemed to have a dream, returning to the long-ago boyhood.

At that time, his mother had passed away, Ah He had not yet been adopted, Liang Zhao was only surrounded by Wu Ze, Jian Anning, and Jian Anning's half-brother, Qiu Heng.

Although the four people have four surnames, they grew up together and are like brothers and sisters.

Qiu Heng was the youngest, always following behind the others, and his older brothers kept making noises.

"My elder brother is not doing his job all day long, and he actually said that he would take me to mine in Africa when he grows up. Do you think he is mentally ill!"

"Second brother got the admission letter from the Department of Finance, which is amazing! It would be great if my grades could be like his."

"Third brother, I heard that you don't plan to learn chess anymore? Ah... You have made plans for the future, but I am so stupid, what can I do in the future?"

The clear boyish voice seemed to come from behind, Liang Zhao tried hard to turn around and look at Xiaoheng again, but he still couldn't control the dream, and he could only hear his own plain voice.

"You have to think for yourself."

"I can't think of it."

The young man thought for a long time, and suddenly his voice jumped up again, "Otherwise, I will join the army in the future! I can also be a policeman, the kind of armed special police who specialize in subduing gangsters, and protect people who are just like my godmother in the future!"

This familiar conversation was repeated, Liang Zhao almost heard his heart thump.

[I also want you to protect yourself! ]

Before the words stuck in my heart could be uttered, the screen changed.Finally, I could see Qiu Heng's face clearly, but he was no longer a boy, lying there with his mouth full of blood.

"Brother... don't, don't be sad, I... don't hurt."

Liang Zhao can't even remember when he became such a strong boy, obviously his eyes would turn red when he fell when he was a child.

"Hang on, Xiaoheng, don't talk."

"Third brother, I know I can't do it anymore..." With firm eyes, he raised his scarred hand with the last of his strength, vomiting blood every time he said a word.

"Promise me in the end, I don't want...to see you guys sad, brothers just...be...proud of me..."

In the picture, Qiu Heng slowly closes his eyes, but Liang Zhao suddenly wakes up, and there is also a silent night in front of him.

Unable to fall asleep again, he simply put on his clothes and went out.When they returned to the top of the building, they found that Jian Anning was still watching the moon by herself.

Today's night is a bit like the night of Christmas, the half crescent moon is bright and bright in the fog.

"Do you miss him?" After a long silence, Liang Zhao asked the back in front of him.

Jian Anning still kept her head up, but her fingers touched the necklace on her chest, and her tone was gentle: "He is always by my side."

After a while, Jian Anning turned her head and looked over quietly, "What about you, who do you think of?"

Liang Zhao said nothing, he continued to talk.

"Actually, there is no need to be disturbed by the cycle of karma. If you just treat him as your younger brother, just pretend I didn't say anything, but if you like it, try it, and Xiaoheng will be happy for you."

"For someone like me?" Liang Zhao smiled mockingly to himself, then inadvertently pinched his wrist, his eyes were cold, "my brother died in front of me without crying a single tear."

Jian Anning finally changed to a more casual posture, folded her two slender legs, leaned against the wall, and sighed.

"So among the brothers, I am most worried about you. It is because you have seen too much life and death in indifference, so you should know what is worthy of enthusiasm."

"People like me are cold and withdrawn. Passion and freshness are worn out, and the rest will only be boring."

Liang Zhao lowered his wrist, crossed his fingers together, and said with downcast eyes, "I feel like I'm really hurting the children."

"Whoever you want to hurt, it depends on whether the person is willing or not. I guess people don't want you by now. Well, I heard that stubborn people are very affectionate, so you can do whatever you want."

After Jian Anning sneered lightly, she stood up and patted her trouser legs, "This place is nice, can you sit down for a while? I'm going to sleep, and I have to work tomorrow."
