soldiers in front

Ji Zheng and Pan Yue made an appointment to meet at two o'clock, and Ji Zheng arrived at Yue Lan Nursing Home half an hour earlier than the agreed time.Yuelan Nursing Home is built on the mountainside in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains and forests. A continuous building emerges from the beautiful mountains and forests. The architectural style combines Chinese and Western styles, just like the villas built in the fairy trails of mountains in Hong Kong in the old days.

Ji Zheng parked his car in the shade of a tree [-] meters away from the entrance of the nursing home. In the half hour left before meeting Pan Yue, he kept doubting himself, condemning himself, and wanted to break the contract several times. It's over, but every time he thinks of breaking the contract, he will think of Egg Yolk who was pressed into the bathtub by Bian Xiaoqu and nearly drowned, Aunt Wu whose right cheek was covered with blood, and Bian Xiaoqu who cried bitterly in his arms last night. .....

It seems that Aunt Wu is right. Bian Xiaoqu must be placed in a place where she can be restrained. Ji Zheng can't give her this kind of restraint. It will only aggravate Bian Xiaoqu's condition and bring harm to the people around her.He thought he could protect Bian Xiaoqu well, but only now did he realize that the way to protect Bian Xiaoqu is not to hide Bian Xiaoqu, but to give her a living space.

At two o'clock, Ji Zheng's cell phone rang on time as if an alarm clock had been set, and Pan Yue asked him, "Old classmate, where have you been?"

Ji Zheng slowly adjusted his smile: "At the door."

"Okay, then I'll send someone to pick you up now."

He and Pan Yue have lost contact since graduating from high school, and only met once in August last year. Their mutual friend went abroad to get married. Ji Zheng didn't have time to attend the wedding, so he asked Pan Yue to bring gifts and money.In the past two years, Pan Yue has developed very well. He is the director of a well-known private sanatorium in Weining City. This sanatorium was originally a husband-and-wife shop between Pan Yue and his wife, but Pan Yue's wife, as a behind-the-scenes investor, supported Pan Yue and this sanatorium. So I withdrew the shares and switched to the design industry, which was also done in a hurry.The reason why Ji Zheng chose to know about this nursing home was not because he had a little friendship with Pan Yue in the past, but because he valued the medical level and facilities of this nursing home.The environment and level here are among the best in the country.

Pan Yue is a lot richer than last year, and he has a beer belly before he is middle-aged. He looks at Ji Zhengxuan's still figure, and he is very ashamed.Except for the change in appearance, Pan Yue has hardly changed. At least in front of Ji Zheng, he is still as bright and talkative as before.

Ji Zheng talked with him for a while in his office, and the topic gradually turned to Bian Xiaoqu.He didn't tell Pan Yue directly that he had a mentally disabled niece, only that he was a relative.Pan Yue introduced their medical procedures to Ji Zheng in detail, and also took Ji Zheng to visit the inpatient department.Ji Zheng and him are considered colleagues, so many problems can be solved easily, but even so, he still stayed in the nursing home until the evening, chatted with Pan Yue until the evening, and even experienced the food level of the nursing home in person.

When it was getting late, Pan Yue sent Ji Zheng to the gate of the nursing home and left a business card for Ji Zheng.

"If you have any questions or needs, please feel free to contact me."

Pan Yue said.

Ji Zheng thanked him, and then drove down the mountain road, on the road back to the city.He deliberately went around to Bian Xiaoqu's favorite dessert shop to buy Bian Xiaoqu's favorite cake.When he returned home with the cake, Bian Xiaoqu was the only one in the house.

The lights were not turned on in the house, and Bian Xiaoqu sat on the bay window in the living room, brushing blue nail polish on his nails with the help of the neon lights lit up under the dark sky outside the window.

The light in the living room suddenly came on, and she tilted her head to hide for a while as if she was stabbed by the light, then turned her head to look at the door with a displeased face.

Ji Zheng put the cake on the dining room table, unbuttoned his suit jacket and walked towards her, sat on the bay window at her feet, and asked warmly, "Why are you the only one? Where's Aunt Wu?"

Bian Xiaoyu lowered her eyes sleepily, and it took a while to ignore her and said, "I'm going shopping." After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Ji Zheng, then put down the nail polish, and spread it towards Ji Zheng In the palm of his right hand, he said coldly: "What's going on?"

Ji Zheng looked at her hand, there were several deep needle holes in her palm, which were the needle holes that she hid in the bathtub yesterday and was pierced by the needle she held in her hand.Ji Zheng felt pain in his heart, held her hand, and gently stroked the wound on her palm: "Does it hurt?"

Bian Xiaoqu was stunned, most of the indifference in his eyes faded, but he still put on a cold and arrogant look: "Fortunately, it doesn't hurt much."

Ji Zheng screwed up the nail polish she put on the bay window, then put it aside, and said: "Using this kind of thing frequently will hurt your nails, so don't use it in the future."

Ji Zheng's love for her quickly wiped away all the hostility in Bian Xiaoqu's body, a slight smile appeared on her face, she bowed her head and did not answer.

Ji Zheng touched her hair and said: "I bought the chocolate cake you like, and I will eat it with you after I change clothes."

Bian Xiaoqu: "No."

Ji Zheng smiled softly, took off his suit jacket and hung it on the bay window, went back to his room, took a change of clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

Bian Xiaoqu covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and smiled sweetly for a while, seeing Ji Zheng's clothes were still hanging by her feet, so she picked up Ji Zheng's clothes and prepared to put them on the hanger.

She only took a step when she realized that something had fallen out of Ji Zheng's pocket and fell to the floor with a thud.She bent down to pick it up, and saw it was a business card with 'Yue Lan Psychiatric Sanatorium' and a name 'Pan Yue' printed on it.

Bian Xiaoqu was stunned by this business card with a mental sanatorium on it. When she was holding the business card in a daze, Ji Zheng's cell phone in his jacket pocket rang suddenly.She took out Ji Zheng's mobile phone and saw the 'Pan Yue' on the business card and sent Ji Zheng a text message - after thinking about it, she can send someone over at any time.

There was a sudden sound of rustling water in the bathroom, and Bian Xiaoqu was startled as if he had been caught by a thief. He threw away the clothes and mobile phone in his hand, and stood there blankly.She looked at the mobile phone and business card lying on the ground, the panic in her heart gradually disappeared, and she quickly calmed down, her eyes no longer panicked, but became resentful.

She trembled with rage, and the spiteful look on her face made her look hideous.

Suddenly, she squatted down and put the business card and mobile phone back into Ji Zheng's clothes pocket, then put Ji Zheng's clothes back on the bay window, and then ran into Aunt Wu's guest room.After searching for a while, she found a bottle of sleeping pills in the lower drawer of the bedside table. It was the medicine that Aunt Wu took almost every day because of poor sleep.

She returned to the bedroom with the medicine bottle, sat in front of the computer desk, poured all the remaining pills on the table, and crushed the white pills back and forth with a pen.The pills creaked and creaked under her crushing, like a wild beast chewing on the bones of its prey...

Suddenly, she stopped, turned her head slightly, and stared at the bedroom door from the corner of her eye, with a cold light like a poisonous sting coming out of the corner of her eyes.

Ji Zheng knocked on the door: "Xiao Qu, come out to eat cake."

She smiled: "Okay, wait for me."

Soon, she crushed the pills into a powder, put the powder in a sugar wrapper and carried it out of the room.

Ji Zheng changed into home clothes and was cutting the cake. Seeing her coming out, he asked, "Will you drink juice or milk?"

Bian Xiaoqu sat on the chair, propped his chin and looked at the fruit knife in his hand with a layer of black chocolate sauce and white cream, and said after a while: "Milk."

Ji Zheng took out the milk from the refrigerator and heated it in the microwave, then took out two cups to hold the milk.The phone rang suddenly, he left the kitchen, took the phone back to the bedroom to answer the call.

Bian Xiaoqu looked at Ji Zhengxu's closed bedroom door, walked quickly to the kitchen and sprinkled the powder into a cup, then took out the milk from the microwave, poured it into the cup mixed with the powder and stirred evenly , and finally returned to the restaurant with two glasses of milk before Ji Zheng ended the call.

After Ji Zheng made the phone call, he saw that the milk was already on the table, so he went straight to the restaurant and sat down opposite Bian Xiaoqu.Bian Xiaoqu looked at him and smiled, "I added a little sugar for you, would you like it sweet?"

Ji Zheng took a sip of milk and said, "Just right."

While eating the cake, Bian Xiaoqu lured him to pick up the cup several times until he watched him drink up the milk in the cup.Ji Zheng had never had the habit of taking sleeping pills, so the medicine he drank took effect quickly. After about half an hour, he gradually felt dizzy, weak in limbs, and blurred double images appeared in front of his eyes.The strange and turbulent changes in his body made Ji Zheng immediately feel the unusualness. He seemed to realize something instantly. His eyes turned into two phantoms that kept shaking, "Xiao Qu, you—"

Bian Xiaoqu lowered his head, with an indifferent expression, scooped up a piece of cream with the fork in his hand and put it into his mouth.

Then, Ji Zheng saw her put down the fork and pick up the fruit knife he used to cut the cake just now.

The moment Bian Xiaoqu picked up the fruit knife, he raised his eyes to look at Ji Zheng, his slender eyes were like sharp knives.

In Ji Zheng's memory, this was the second time he was so close to death.

Last time, he drank tea mixed with medicine at Tang Xuehui's house, but he couldn't get out of Tang Xuehui's house.Blame him that time, he was negligent.But this time, he was also negligent, neglecting to guard against a person he never thought of guarding against.

He didn't expect that Bian Xiaoqu would really want to kill him.

Aunt Wu came back in time and sent Ji Zheng, who was in a coma, to the hospital. When Ji Zheng was pushed into the emergency room, his vital signs were no longer obvious, and his body temperature was gradually cooling down.He had taken an overdose of sleeping pills, which had already caused poisoning. The doctor inserted a catheter into his stomach, poured gastric juice, and washed his stomach over and over again...

He was pulled back to the world again on the verge of death, and after being in a coma all night, he woke up in the early morning of the next day.

"Oh my god, Doctor Ji, are you awake?"

Aunt Wu stayed by the hospital bed all night, and almost shed tears when she saw him open his eyes.

As soon as Ji Zheng opened his eyes, he felt dizzy and weak.He closed his eyes for a while, and then slowly sat up on the bed.

Aunt Wu helped him shake the bed, and then called the nurse.

The nurse measured his body temperature and heartbeat, and tested his gastric juice, and said, "It's all right, let's rest for a while."

Although Ji Zheng woke up, his complexion was pale and stiff, not like a living person. When the nurse gave him an injection, he didn't respond, as if he had been deeply poisoned and became a vegetative state.

Aunt Wu held his hand distressed and worried: "Doctor Ji, say something, say something."

After a long time, Ji Zheng turned his eyes to look at her, and smiled with difficulty: "I'm fine, I'm sorry to make you worry."

Aunt Wu wiped her tears: "Don't say that, you will suffer a great crime."

Ji Zheng's frozen eyes seemed to melt, he looked at Aunt Wu's face as if looking for a place to rest his eyes, and asked, "Where's Xiao Qu?"

Aunt Wu didn't know that his current appearance was thanks to Bian Xiaoqu, even if she vaguely guessed it, she didn't dare to say this to provoke Ji Zheng, so she pretended to be natural: "I talked to her on the phone just now, and she still sleeping."

After a long time, Ji Zheng said in a low voice: "That's good."

The doctor told him not to eat now, and to test the gastric juice later.Aunt Wu knew that he couldn't eat anything now, but she still bought light meals and fruits.She helped Ji Zheng peel an apple, hesitated again and again, and chose to say to Ji Zheng: "Doctor Ji, I...I have to tell you something."

Ji Zheng didn't have the energy to say too much, he just looked at Aunt Wu wearily.

Aunt Wu said: "When I came home, I saw Xiao Qu opening your safe in your room."

For Ji Zheng now, nothing and nothing can give him the slightest stimulation.After hearing Aunt Wu's words, he acted very calm, as calm as stagnant water from the inside to the outside.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Aunt Wu stopped talking.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Min Chengzhou rushed in, standing at the end of the bed staring at Ji Zheng, panting heavily, with a panic that Ji Zheng had never seen before.

"You fucking...what the hell are you doing!"

Ji Zheng: "...Why are you here?"

"I called you, and your nanny answered, saying that you are in the hospital and dying!"

Min Chengzhou carefully scanned him around and pinched him back and forth: "Are you okay? Where did you get hurt? Why is your face so ugly?"

Ji Zheng didn't like him to touch him, but he didn't have the strength to stop him, and his voice was suppressed by Min Chengzhou's loud voice, so he could only bear it silently.

After pinching his waist and legs, Min Chengzhou went to unbutton his hospital gown: "Where is your injury? Why can't I find it?"

Ji Zheng raised his arm with difficulty to keep him away: "No injury, food poisoning. Don't touch me."

Min Chengzhou was grabbing his collar and looking into his clothes, when he heard that he let go of his collar, he said, "You can do such a stupid thing?"

Ji Zheng said to the dumbfounded Aunt Wu: "You go out first."

Aunt Wu put down the half-peeled apple and went out.

After hearing from Ji Zheng that he was just suffering from food poisoning, Min Chengzhou's concern for him disappeared in an instant. He dragged a chair and sat beside Ji Zheng's bed, crossed his legs, and said earnestly: "You are old and young, hurry up and find someone Well, I don't believe you can get yourself food poisoned with someone around you. Look at me, we are the same age, and my daughter is in the second grade."

Ji Zheng didn't want to listen to his advice, and he didn't want to listen to his specious show off, so he had to interrupt him: "I have something to tell you."

Min Chengzhou: "Say it."

Ji Zheng: "...you get closer, I don't have the strength to speak loudly now."

So Min Chengzhou turned around and sat beside his bed, very close to him: "Speak."

Ji Zheng: "...It's too close, you sit back."

"You are such a trouble."

Min Chengzhou sat back again, moved the chair to the bedside: "Come on, my unit still has a lot of things to do."

Ji Zheng stopped talking, as if he hadn't finished the draft, and was silent thoughtfully.

Min Chengzhou waited for a while, then looked at his watch: "...Are you using brain waves to communicate with me?"

After a while, Ji Zheng finally spoke: "Do you still remember Xiao Qu?"

"Remember, your niece."

"Then do you remember Pan Yue?"

"Who?"

Ji Zhengdao: "In high school, the basketball team's substitutes were not in the same class as us."

Min Chengzhou frowned and thought for a while: "I seem to have a little impression, what's wrong with him?"

Ji Zheng glanced at the table where the mobile phone was placed: "I have his contact information in my mobile phone, you save it in your own mobile phone."

Min Chengzhou dealt with it calmly: "Well, let's talk about you first."

Ji Zheng looked at him without saying a word.

Driven by his eyes, Min Chengzhou picked up his mobile phone, found Pan Yue's number, entered his own mobile phone, and then shook the mobile phone in front of his eyes: "Okay, let's talk about your business."

Ji Zheng said again: "My wallet is under the fruit basket, have you seen it?"

Min Chengzhou took out the wallet he put under the fruit basket: "I see, the wallet looks pretty, what brand is it?"

Ji Zheng stopped and took a breath, and then said: "There is a bank card with the end number 0313 in it. There is 50 in the card, and the password is the six digits in the middle of the card number. You take this card."

Min Chengzhou suddenly felt something strange and stared at him: "What do you want to do?"

Ji Zheng barely showed a faint smile, and said: "Please."

Min Chengzhou was suddenly wary of him: "What's the matter?"

After talking so much, Ji Zheng became more and more dizzy, so dizzy that he couldn't see Min Chengzhou's face clearly, and his stomach throbbed.So he closed his eyes to rest his mind, and when he spoke again, the tone of sadness and exhaustion that Min Chengzhou had never heard from him.

Ji Zheng said: "If something happens to me one day, please, please send Xiao Que to Pan Yue's nursing home."
