Wang Xuebing lives in the sixth ward, two floors away from Chen Jun's ward.Lin Dong only found out when he went to find He Lan that this is a special ward for female patients.Men, except for medical staff and government staff who came to check, are not allowed to enter, nor are their family members.Mainly because the hospital is afraid of accidents.Some critically ill patients are still unconscious even though they are taking medicine and receiving treatment on time, and they are very easy to be taken advantage of by people with evil intentions.There may also be situations where male and female patients fall in love and talk about stories, or make fools of each other.If a female patient in a mental hospital is molested or even becomes pregnant during her hospitalization, the hospital will have to compensate her family a large sum of money.

It’s not that mentally ill patients don’t have that need. In fact, some patients have greater needs than normal people.In the past, the relatively inhumane method was to give male patients estrogen and place alcohol cotton balls on female patients. The former relied on drugs to suppress physiological impulses, while the latter relied on pain to distract attention.Lin Dong doesn't know what measures are being used to prevent and manage them now, but when it's under his nose, he just needs to be as strict as he can.

After showing his police officer ID, Lin Dong was able to enter the iron gate of Ward Six.I have to say that this place has the same precautions as the detention center—the female ward has two iron gates, one more than the male ward, and male family members who come to visit can only enter through the first and second iron gates. The "reception area" that is less than ten square meters in between.

A dozen steps away from the iron gate, He Lan was poking his head outside a ward.Lin Dong went over and patted her on the shoulder, and He Lan almost jumped up in fright, covering his chest with his hand and short of breath: "My God, Team Lin, why are you walking so silently?"

Lin Dongxin said that it's because I walked silently, it's obvious that you have a guilty conscience.

"What are you looking at?"

"Uh, I..." Knowing that she couldn't hide from Lin Dong's eyes, He Lan gave up making up excuses and pointed into the room embarrassedly, "Let me take a look...to see Rong Sen's mother...I have nothing else I mean, I'm just curious."

Lin Dong didn't intend to blame, and leaned forward to look into the room. There were three women inside: a little girl, a middle-aged woman, and an old lady with white hair.Neither the little girl nor the old lady was Rong Sen's mother, so they should be the middle-aged woman.She was sitting by the bed with her head bowed, holding a magazine in her hand, her hair was cut short, revealing her thin and long neck.The hospital gown looked baggy on her body, but it was conceivable how thin the body was wrapped inside.

As if sensing the gaze of others, Wang Xuebing stopped turning the pages of the book for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, meeting Lin Dong's eyes.With just one glance, Lin Dong's gaze froze immediately, and the appearance reflected in his pupils overlapped with a face deep in his memory.He had seen her. It was the celebration day of the university where his father worked, and he had invited some mid-level and high-level leaders and family members of cooperative enterprises to attend the dinner party after the celebration.There was a mole between the woman's eyebrows, so he looked at her a few more times, and he remembered it deeply.It's just that the other party was still young at that time, with good looks, black hair, cheerful and kind, not like now, with a sallow complexion, gray hair roots, and empty eyes.

At this time, Wang Xuebing definitely wouldn't recognize the adult Lin Dong, but her behavior seemed a little weird: first she showed a slightly weird smile, then put down the book, stood up by the bed, brushed her hair and pulled her clothes , and slowly walked towards Lin Dong.As she gradually narrowed the distance with her, Lin Dong retreated subconsciously, and raised her hand to signal the other party to stand where she was.However, Wang Xuebing didn't intend to stop, but walked closer and closer, until Lin Dong couldn't retreat, and his back hit the wall with a "boom".

Seeing that Wang Xuebing was about to grab Lin Dong, He Lan hurriedly grabbed Lin Dong's sleeve: "Auntie, auntie? What are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, although Wang Xuebing is thin, she is not weak in strength. As soon as she broke away from He Lan's hand, she threw herself on Lin Dong and hugged Lin Dong. I'm scared, take me out of here quickly."This time Lin Dong was at a loss what to do - push, it was inappropriate, and if he didn't push, it would be shameful for a woman to hold her in public, so she could only hold her hands and freeze in place.Amidst the embarrassment, he remembered Tang Zhexue once said that Wang Xuebing fell ill when he saw a man, and would treat him as his dead husband.

Seeing this, He Lan panicked and wanted to pull Wang Xuebing away, but Wang Xuebing hugged Lin Dong too tightly. She was afraid of hurting Lin Dong with too much force, so she didn't dare to use force.

While tugging, I suddenly heard a shout from behind: "What are you doing? Let go of my mother!"

Lin Dong and He Lan turned their heads together, and saw Rong Sen standing outside the two iron gates at the end of the corridor, holding an insulated bucket in his hand, with a trace of anger in his stunned expression.Suddenly, she slapped the iron fence twice, successfully triggering the alarm.Hearing the alarm bell, the medical staff ran into the corridor one after another, some went to drag Wang Xuebing, some went to open the door for Rong Sen.

After passing through the iron gate, Rong Sen rushed to his mother's side, wrapped her shoulder hoop into his arms to protect her.Lin Dong was about to explain, but saw Rong Sen suddenly raised his hand to stop him, with a clear refusal in his eyes, he immediately stopped in his tracks.Although he didn't have many contacts, in the past, Rong Sen always showed a cautious attitude and spoke softly, but today's body movements are extremely aggressive.So she is not as thin and fragile as she looks on the outside. Once someone violates the safety radius or touches the bottom line, she will erect spikes all over her body.

Before they had time to explain, Lin Dong and He Lan were politely "invited" out of the ward by the doctor who heard the news.Seeing the red marks on Lin Dong's neck being scratched by Wang Xuebing, He Lan was filled with guilt: "I'm sorry Team Lin, if I hadn't been troublesome...things wouldn't have turned out like this..."

"It's okay, I didn't expect her illness to be so serious."

Feeling the heat on his neck, Lin Dong turned on the front camera of his phone, took a picture of it, and sighed helplessly.He can empathize with Rong Sen's situation. His mother's illness was a bit similar to Wang Xuebing's back then, and she would recognize the wrong person, but she was very specific and only recognized him.Especially in the days when he was terminally ill, when he was awake for a short time, he looked at him and shouted "Yangyang".

The awareness of self-protection is deeply rooted in human genes. When the spirit cannot bear the pain of loss, the brain will seek relief and indulge the deception of memory.However, the truth is clear, but until now, Lin Dong is still unable to completely relieve his mother's behavior.People can't choose their parents, but he was lucky enough to come to this world for a while, to be able to do a job with a sense of accomplishment, and to meet the person he loves. He still sincerely thanks his parents.



The psychiatric hospital is far away from the main traffic arterial road, and the inpatient building is surprisingly quiet at night, with few insects and dim lights in the hospital.Rong Sen walked out of the building door, and saw a person standing beside his car from a distance, frowned, and strode towards him.

When the person was waiting, Lin Dong took two steps forward to meet the person, and said sincerely, "I'm here to formally apologize to you."

Without even raising his eyelids, Rong Sen opened the trunk lid, put the thermos bucket in, and walked around Lin Dong beside him towards the driver's seat.

When passing by, Lin Dong said softly: "Only female family members can enter the sixth ward, and I have to have a work permit to enter."

A word wrapped around Rong Sen's feet.She turned her head, eyes full of hostility.

Lin Dong smiled at her and asked tentatively, "Can you give me a cigarette? I haven't smoked a black cat for many years."

After hesitating for a moment, Rong Sen took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket and handed it to him together with the lighter.After taking the cigarette case, Lin Dong held it in his hand and looked at the front and back of the street lamp, and said with a smile, "It hasn't changed at all, it's still the same package, I smoked this cigarette when I first entered the East Lake Branch... I know that after your father died, your mother also fell ill, so it's not easy for you as a girl."

"Are you looking for me?" Rong Sen's eyes sparkled.

"Sorry, occupational disease," Lin Dong calmly took the blame, lit a cigarette, and exhaled leisurely, "Actually, I am quite conceited, and I have my own insight, but I have never discovered that you are a woman before. It surprised me."

"What the eyes see may not be the truth." After taking the cigarette he handed back, Rong Sen raised his head and stared at the sky under the night, "I don't intend to deceive anyone, you can tell Yangzi if you want to. "

"He already knew."

The hand holding the cigarette paused for a moment, Rong Sen closed his eyes, and let out a sigh of relief: "No wonder he hasn't been home recently."

After a little weighing, Lin Dong said cautiously: "Actually... Yingjie also knows."

Rong Sen was not surprised: "He asked me, and I told him already."

"So you're talking about friends now?"

"No, we're just ordinary friends." Rong Sen categorically denied it, then remembered something, and asked, "Officer Lin, why are you looking for my mother today? Is she a suspect in the case?"

Lin Dong bowed his head and apologized: "No, we saw your mother's hospitalization information when we were investigating other cases, so we wanted to visit her... Sorry, I didn't know she was so sick."

"Then please stay away from her, she can't stand any stimulation."

Putting down his words, Rong Sen gave up on continuing to talk to Lin Dong, turned around and opened the driver's door.Before sitting in, she took another look at the other party, her tone was no longer as hostile as before, but she was also not kind: "Officer Lin, please, give Yangzi a word for me, if he finds it inconvenient to live with a woman If you want to move, you can move out at any time, and I will refund the rent deposit to him, don't be like a dead person, don't reply to the message, don't answer the phone, since you are a man, you should look like a man."

Lin Dong nodded lightly, and silently swallowed the sentence "He likes you, but he doesn't know how to tell you".It's not his turn to say this, but Yang Kelin has to say it himself.

The car door slammed shut, and Rong Sen poked his head out again: "Please, let me, you are blocking me from reversing."

According to Lin Dong's words, he retreated a certain distance, stood in the cold wind of winter night, and watched the small and cute smart drive out of sight.After a short contact, his impression of Rong Sen changed greatly: he looks weak on the outside, but he is actually strong on the inside. Very dependable person.

For people like Yang Kelin who lacked love since childhood, this undoubtedly has a fatal attraction.
