12 years zero soul

Qiu Ren suppressed the fear that rushed to his heart, he couldn't take his eyes off the man.

The man who broke in suddenly was the one in that photo... Ryuichi Asami.

This is a man who can create a great sense of oppression just by standing.

Crack, clack, the sound of leather shoes touching the ground was extremely loud in this quiet room.Asami stood on the other side of Akihito's bed, just opposite to Kuroda.

"How...how is your body?"

"I……"

Qiu Ren felt a part of his heart tremble slightly.

I don't know why, this man named Asami, his haggard and focused eyes will always make Qiuren heartbroken, but Kuroda's slightly bitter expression makes him unbearable.He obviously didn't know these two men, how could he have such an illusion? !In order to shake off the strange and familiar haze in his heart, Qiu Ren scratched his head vigorously with both hands, trying to wake up the memory under the cerebral cortex.

The three remained silent, the atmosphere was delicate and awkward, Qiu Ren didn't know how to break the deadlock.

Qiu Ren suddenly remembered what the two criminal policemen had said to him, and he couldn't help but say, "You can't be a creditor, are you? Did I borrow usury from you before?!"

Qiu Ren carefully observed Ma Jian's expression and continued talking.

"Let me tell you, I have nothing, just a poor... photographer? So... even if you sell all my internal organs, you can't get much money, so I say—"

Shocked by the depth in his eyes, Qiu Ren couldn't speak at all. It was like a struggle, or some other emotion... He couldn't express his feelings accurately.

At this moment, Kuroda snorted coldly.Qiu Ren thought it was laughing at himself, but after careful observation, he found that it was wrong.

"Looks like we both have something to say."

Kuroda packed his briefcase and walked out of the ward first.

Ma Jian stared at Qiu Ren, with a little hesitation, and left after saying "wait for me", leaving Qiu Ren with a blank face.

I don't know how long it took, but when Qiu Ren got up, it was already evening, and he opened his eyes in a haze.

"woke up?"

After Ma Jian came in, Qiu Ren curled up lying flat, and asked in a defensive posture, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing."

Ma Jian's ambiguous expression made people anxious.

"I won't really do bad things for you, right? Probably not...hehe."

Seeing this man's unsmiling expression really made him feel creepy, and he planned to take it with a relaxed tone.The smile on Qiu Ren's face gradually froze, and he couldn't see a hint of joking from Ma Jian's serious expression.

Realizing that Ma Jian seemed to be "staring" at him, Qiu Ren shrugged his shoulders.He didn't like the look in this man's eyes. Not only was he cold, but he also looked down upon others.However, what Qiu Ren felt the most uncomfortable was that Ma Jian's gaze stayed on him all the time, as if he was the prey tightly held by the hunter.

Ma Jian dug into his pocket, glanced at Qiu Ren, then got up and walked to the door, when he grabbed the doorknob, Qiu Ren hurriedly called him: "Wait!"

Ma Jian stopped and turned around.Being stared at by the other party's sharp eyes, Qiu Ren looked a little embarrassed,

"This...the hospital..." Qiu Ren began to look left and right, with a timid expression, "Can you...can you wait, wait..."

Ma Jian remained silent, as if he had expected Qiu Ren to have something to say.

"It's still early, you, you wait before leaving?"

Qiu Ren looked up at Ma Jian, first with a begging look, then blushed again.

It was already dark outside the window, with only sporadic lighting, Qiu Ren really admired himself for being able to open his eyes and talk nonsense at this moment.

There was a small "ah" sound outside the door, Qiu Ren's body trembled, and he turned his head quickly, but there was no one there.Immediately, the nurse's self-blaming voice came from the ward next door.It must have been that the patient had knocked over something and she was busy cleaning it up.

Qiu Ren turned her head slowly, with an unnatural expression, her lower body tremblingly rubbing the bed.Seeing Ma Jian looking at him, Qiu Ren couldn't help showing a shy expression.

"No, no, I, I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just, just..."

Qiu Ren felt that it was a bit difficult for others to behave like this, and he was already a big boss, not to mention——

"Sorry, you... go back."

Ma Jian turned back and sat down, "Go to sleep."

"what?"

Qiu Ren had an unbelievable expression on his face, and suddenly his eyes went dark.Ma Jian's big palm touched his forehead abruptly, covering his sight.Qiu Ren subconsciously grabbed the hem of Asami's clothes, and the originally straight black suit was wrinkled.

"I'll wait here."

Deep voice accompanied by gentle movements.

Qiu Ren couldn't see the other person's expression.The palm is very rough, and there is a faint smell of tobacco, but it is not unpleasant.It seemed that something in my heart was somehow touched, and something warm continued to expand.

"……Um."

Thinking about it, Qiu Ren grunted, and finally got the first peaceful sleep since he was admitted to the hospital.

That night, Kirishima couldn't fall asleep for a long time.He got up to drink some water, but suddenly remembered what happened this morning.Although Asami ordered them to go back to rest, he always felt a strange illusion called "abandonment".Kirishima narrowed his eyes, then put down the cup in his hand.

Some of Ma Jian's memories finally came back, although he didn't say how much he recovered, and which ones were forgotten.

However, Kirishima can be sure that there is Akihito in the only remaining fragment...

Kirishima thought about it, and felt that it would be better to go to the hospital to confirm safety.

There were bursts of clear and startling footsteps in the dark and cold passage, and the leather shoes made a "slapping" sound when they touched the ground.

It was dark in the corridor, but the light from the room formed a line on the floor.

The slightly tired SP immediately reacted, and the deathly silence also quickly ignited a flame.Kirishima signaled them to be silent, and the SPs obediently sat aside.

However, before Kirishima saw the line clearly, the light went out all of a sudden.Then came a slight sound from the room.

Kirishima slightly turned the handle, and the door opened a crack, revealing the dim light like fireflies in the room.Kirishima saw Asami's back, and his body almost covered Akihito who was lying on the hospital bed, as if he was trying to shield him from the wind and rain.Seeing this situation, Kirishima frowned tightly.Mr. Asami should be very clear.This position is very dangerous.

Ma Jian sat on the edge of the bed, motionless, seemed to be concentrating on contemplation, holding the edge of the bed with one hand, Ma Jian seemed to want to stand up, but only then did he realize that his whole body was as heavy as a piece of lead, and he felt at a loss as to what to do. sense of depression.

Kirishima gently closed the door, giving them a space to be alone.

As if not aware that someone had come and left, Ma Jian slowly opened his eyelids.In the darkness, his torch-like eyes locked tightly on Qiu Ren's peaceful sleeping face.At this moment, Ma Jian suddenly remembered a ridiculous old fairy tale.Unknowingly, the body seems to be out of the control of the brain.His upper body gradually leaned over and slowly bent down, but when his lips were about to touch each other's lips, he didn't continue.

"Don't make me wait too long..."

[I know my weakness, you can't love me, I can't blame you. 】
