withered lover

The sound of the rain outside the window gradually weakened, and Du Zhinian finally heard Shen Guiwan's breathing. It was very soft, but at least Du Zhinian could confirm that Shen Guiwan was still behind him.

He closed his eyes and cleared his head of distracting thoughts, but when he was about to fall asleep, the mobile phone on the bedside table buzzed and vibrated.

The hospital often receives urgent patients, and the doctor's cell phone is almost always on hand 24 hours a day. Du Zhinian picked up the phone as soon as it rang: "Hello?"

"It's me." The man's deep voice came from the phone, "Xiaolu got hurt again."

Hearing his helpless voice, Du Zhinian took the phone away to check the time, and frowned again.

It was close to one o'clock in the morning, and it was already time to rest. If the other party called at this time, he was afraid that he was tossing on the bed again and bleeding.

Du Zhinian rubbed his temples, and was about to ask about his injuries, when he remembered that Shen Gui had fallen asleep late, pressed down his phone and turned to look at the person behind him.

Shen Guiwan still maintained the posture before turning off the lights, curled up into a ball with his back facing him, lying motionless.

Du Zhinian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, pulled up the quilt to cover Shen Guiwan's exposed shoulders, and asked in a low voice, "Is the injury serious?"

"I won't call you if it's not serious, come here." The man said, but chuckled, "You'll know what the injury is when you come here."

Before Du Zhinian could answer, the call was hung up by the other party.

He looked at the lit phone screen and cursed a few dirty words in his heart.

Du Zhinian was very sleepy, but after hanging up the phone, he got up and got out of bed.

He narrowed his eyes, waited for his pupils to adapt to the darkness, and opened the closet in the dark.

Du Zhinian stood in front of the closet to put on his clothes. After a rustling sound, a faint light suddenly lit up behind him.

He turned his head and saw Shen Guiwan sitting on the bed hugging the quilt, looking at him with clear eyes without blinking.

"Woke you up?" Du Zhinian walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, raising his hand to caress Shen Guiwan's head.

Shen Guiwan shook his head, "I didn't sleep, you want to go out?"

When he heard Du Zhinian answering the phone, he thought it was an emergency operation in the hospital, but seeing Du Zhinian's reaction, it didn't seem like it.

Shen Guiwan asked ambiguous questions, but Du Zhinian fell silent after listening.

He seemed to be considering his words, and after pondering for a while, he said, "I have something to deal with."

"Then you go." Shen Guiwan didn't ask where Du Zhinian was going, just said so.

He is a considerate and sensible lover, and would not pester Du Zhinian to stay with him, but when Du Zhinian listened, he always felt uncomfortable.

Looking at Shen Guiwan's sleepless eyes, Du Zhinian asked in a strange way, "Do you want to go together?"

Shen Guiwan's sleep has always been terrible, and it is even more tormenting on cold winter nights. After Du Zhinian left, he would be alone in the bedroom, and it would be difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

Without much hesitation, he changed his clothes and followed Du Zhinian.

Shen Guiwan sat in the car, and the scenery outside the car window quickly receded from his eyes.

The city fell into a deep sleep at night, but it didn't become dark because of it. The neon lights were still flickering, and there were long strings of dim lights on the road.

Shen Guiwan guessed that Du Zhinian wasn't going to the hospital to deal with something, so when Du Zhinian parked his car in the villa area in the city center where rich people gather, he didn't show any surprise.

Du Zhinian's car was stopped at the door by the security guard, he rolled down the window and whispered to the security guard, the cold wind blew their conversation to pieces, Shen Guiwan only heard the three words "Mr. Yu" Character.

The security guard talked to Du Zhinian for a few words, ran back to the security booth and made a phone call, and soon the closed door slowly opened towards Du Zhinian's car.

When the car entered the villa area, the speed slowed down.

Shen Guiwan carefully observed the buildings in the villa area, his thoughts slowly wandering to distant memories.

This villa area is several times more upscale than the one Shen Gui lived in later, and Shen Lu has always wished to move here.

He has never been able to realize that dream, but now, Shen Guiwan followed Du Zhinian into the villa area that Shen Lu had been longing for.

Shen Guiwan felt a little ironic, but he couldn't laugh.

When the car drove to a certain place, there was a slight vibration. Shen Guiwan came back to his senses and saw a gorgeous four-story single-family villa.

"Here we are." Du Zhinian unbuckled his seat belt, picked up the medicine box on the back seat and got out of the car.

Shen Guiwan was a step slower, and when he caught up with Du Zhinian, the door of the villa just opened from the inside.

A man in pajamas with messy hair stood by the door, looking at Du Zhinian with a smile: "Good evening, Doctor Du."

He greeted Du Zhinian, and saw that there was another person following Du Zhinian, the corners of his raised mouth quickly pulled down.

"Why did you bring someone with you?" The man looked at Shen Guiwan with displeasure, and when he saw the hickey on Shen Guiwan's neck, he suddenly smiled meaningfully.

He smiled at Shen Guiwan jokingly, then turned his head and asked Du Zhinian: "Did I bother you?"

Du Zhinian frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yu, he is timid. If he is scared, I will ask you to pay for it."

The smile on Yu Minggu's face became wider, "It's the first time I've seen you protect someone like this, is it a little lover or a new boyfriend?"

Du Zhinian didn't answer, took Shen Guiwan's hand and hid the person behind him, and said to Yu Minggu: "Call me over at night, let's deal with business first."

"That's right." Yu Minggu shrugged, "The second room on the third floor is still the same."

Shen Guiwan didn't know what Mr. Yu meant by "the old way", but standing in front of the villa, he felt a strong anxiety and resistance in his heart.

He instinctively felt that he shouldn't have stepped into this villa, but Du Zhinian took his hand, so Shen Guiwan could only follow Du Zhinian up to the third floor, watching Du Zhinian open the door of the second room.

The door was only opened a crack, and a sharp scream came out from the crack, piercing Shen Guiwan's heart hard.

It was a woman's voice that Shen Guiwan had never heard before, but it was this strange scream that instantly froze the blood in Shen Guiwan's body.

He recalled the countless sleepless nights before he left home in college, curled up in the corner of the bedroom, listening to the sound of glass breaking and his mother crying outside the door.

Shen Guiwan couldn't remember what his mother yelled at that time, the world was spinning in front of his eyes, the strange corridor overlapped with the Shen's house in his memory, his bright vision was gradually swallowed up by the sticky scarlet.

"Shen Guiwan."

Du Zhinian's voice exploded in his ears, Shen Guiwan took a step back suddenly, and his back hit the wall heavily.

The pain brought back the consciousness that was on the verge of laxity, Shen Guiwan raised his head, and saw Du Zhinian who was looking at him worriedly.

"What are you thinking?" Du Zhinian came to the door under cover, and asked in a gentle voice.

The scene just now flashed through Shen Guiwan's mind, he folded his arms and shivered, "I didn't sleep well, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"I'll go back when the matter is finished." Du Zhinian wiped off the cold sweat from Shen Guiwan's forehead, and put a comforting kiss on his lips, "I need you to do me a favor."

Shen Guiwan took a deep breath, and nodded vigorously after his heart calmed down.

Du Zhinian stared at Shen Guiwan's pale face, hesitated for a while, pointed to the half-closed door and said: "She is a little emotional, you can go in and talk to her later, to comfort her, can you do it? "

Can it be done?It was the first time for Shen Guiwan to hear Du Zhinian ask himself in a negotiating tone, he should have agreed with the situation, but there was a wounded woman hidden behind this gentle discussion.

Shen Guiwan wanted to refuse, but his trembling lips parted slightly, and before he could make a sound, Yu Minggu, who had been missing all this time, suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor.

Yu Minggu looked at Shen Guiwan playfully, almost piercing through Shen Guiwan with his scrutinizing eyes.

Shen Guiwan had no choice but to gently push open the half-hidden door under the watchful eyes of the two men.

Shen Guiwan walked into the room and saw the huge double bed at a glance.

The layout of the room looked like a young girl's bedroom. There were goose-yellow bed curtains hanging around the double bed, and a string of small bells hung on each corner.

Through the goose-yellow gauze, Shen Guiwan saw a thin figure sitting on the bed.

He got closer, and there was a suppressed sob from behind the bed curtain, and he hurriedly stopped in his tracks.

Standing not far from the bed, Shen Guiwan could see clearly the appearance of the person on the bed.

It was a very delicate girl, she looked very young, like a college student who was still studying, but there was a clear slap mark on her face, and her beautiful eyes were full of horror.

Shen Guiwan froze in place, but heard Du Zhinian standing behind her call her: "Mrs. Yu."
