Han Chen ran into Xin Jia just a few steps out of Bai Jin Xi's ward.
Xin Jia came all the way from his ward. The day and night of guarding made her look a little haggard. She looked at Han Chen and twisted her hands together subconsciously: "Han Chen! Why did you get out of bed?"
Han Chen glanced at her and said nothing, leaning on the wall and continuing to walk forward. Xin Jia immediately stepped forward and tried to hold his arm, but he avoided him.
"Get out of the way."
Xin Jia looked at his tall but hesitant back, and the circles around her eyes slowly turned red. His face was calm, calm and sad.
Unexpectedly, Han Chen took two steps forward, suddenly stopped, and turned to look at her.
Xin Jia's heart trembled.
Although Han Chen had never been far away from her, he had never looked at her with such a cold gaze.
"Recently, you've been looking for me, but you haven't been as diligent as before." He said slowly, "Why?"
Xin Jia was startled: "What..."
"Are you afraid of meeting someone here?" He stared at her.
Xin Jia's heart skipped a beat, a feeling of almost despair overwhelmed her heart. Her hands clenched into fists unconsciously, her face changed and changed, she moved her lips but made no sound.
Her facial expressions were enough for Han Chen. He smiled lightly, ignored her, and turned away.
After returning to the ward, Han Chen lay back on the bed with some difficulty.
Looking at the ceiling, Bai Jin Xi's blushing face just now appeared in front of her eyes, aggrieved and angry. This caused an unspeakable depression and annoyance in his chest. After a moment of silence, he picked up the phone and called Leng Mian.
"Print out a copy of Bai Jin Xi's detailed information and send it to me."
The cold noodles are very efficient, and after an hour, they will send the information to Han Chen. Then left without asking anything.
Han Chen took the information, leaned on the bed and watched it for a while, then circled some content with a pen:
Place of Birth: Hongshan County. Former residence: No. 17, Fuyang Lane, Hongshan County.
Educational background: Class 2, Criminal Investigation, Level 56, Shajiang Police Academy.
Home address: No. 26, Ya'an New Village, Nantian Avenue, Shajiang City. It was destroyed by fire in July 2010. 2 people died: Bai Yaozong and Zhao Lanchun (the parents of Bai Jinxi).
…
He raised his hand and pressed the call bell, and soon the nurse walked in and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
Han Chen raised his head: "When can I be discharged from the hospital?"
The nurse was stunned for a moment, and replied, "You... at least a week. You have to be careful when you go home, and don't be too tired."
Han Chen nodded: "I see, thank you."
—
noon the next day.
Jin Xi is lying on the bed, bored. Zhou Xiaozhuan had just come from the work unit and was sitting by the bed, feeding her.
After feeding him a few mouthfuls, he couldn't help but start gossip: "Yesterday, Leng Nian received a call from the boss, and I don't know what information to ask him to find. It's mysterious. I printed a bunch of them, and I ran into me on the road, and I put them away immediately. Don't let me see."
Jin Xi was slightly startled, and said "cut", "It doesn't matter what they do."
Xiao Zhuan didn't know why Jin Xi suddenly stopped dealing with Han Chen, and she didn't say anything when she asked her. Had to stop this topic. After thinking about it, he asked again, "Forensic doctor Xu didn't come today?"
"No."
Xiao Zhuan was a little surprised: "Didn't he say he was coming yesterday?"
"how could I know?"
The two looked at each other, and Xiao Zhuan sighed meaningfully.
Jin Xi was already feeling a little irritable, but when he sighed, she became even more irritable: "Fuck you! I haven't asked you to settle the bill! Why did Han Chen stay here alone yesterday? You're so disrespectful..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Zhuan suddenly saw Xiao Zhuan looking at the door, stood up quickly, and gave her a wink.
Jin Xi followed his line of sight, who was standing at the door, not Han Chen
As the night passed, his complexion looked much better. His face was no longer pale, and the man stood up straighter, pressing lightly against the wall with only one hand. Even in the hospital gown, he looked tall and handsome.
Obviously, he heard what he said just now. Those eyes looked at her so deeply.
Jin Xi's heart goes numb, she immediately turns her head and looks out the window.
Xiao Zhuan pretended not to know anything and asked with a smile, "Boss, are you here to see Xiao Bai?"
Han Chen nodded, walked to the chair beside the bed and sat down. He put his hands on the armrests slowly, looking at the back of his head that Bai Jin Xi left for him.
"Xiao Zhuan." He said.
"Um?"
"Leave me here alone."
Jin Xi's whole body froze when she heard it, and when she turned her head, she met his eyes.
She doesn't understand! Why does Han Chen seem to be in a relationship with her? ! He's never been an asshole before, has he? Looking at his fair and beautiful face, Jin Xi's anger suddenly increased.
Staring at Zhou Xiaozhuan: "You dare to go!"
Han Chen also raised his head and looked at Zhou Xiaozhuan quietly.
Zhou Xiaozhuan stood up silently and said in a low voice, "I don't dare not leave..." Grabbing his jacket, he immediately flashed!
Silence returned to the house.
Jin Xi is silent.
Han Chen didn't mean to tease her. But as soon as he saw her, the anxious and depressed emotions in his chest came up again.
A strong intuition told him that she was her. The woman who had tortured him to such an extent recently was actually the woman who had tortured him for more than a thousand days and nights. He just wants to hold her in his arms now, kiss her and hug her, and ask her if she still remembers a little bit of him? Ask her if she still remembers the love that haunted him in his dreams
But his sober reason told him that he had to wait, check, and endure.
It's within reach, but it's impossible to ask for. He couldn't bear to hang his heart, but she was completely ignorant.
So the arrogance in his bones naturally showed, and it was all provoked on her.
With this anxious mood, he looked at her for a while, and his eyes fell on the lunch box on the table.
He stood up, reached out and picked up the lunch box, then picked up the small spoon inside and dialed it. She hasn't eaten much yet.
Although Jin Xi looks aside, her eyes and ears are paying attention to his movements. Then he felt the bed sink, and he sat beside her again.
Jin Xi's body tensed slightly, staring at him: "What are you doing?"
As a result, he saw him scoop up a spoon and put it to her lips.
"I'll feed you." There was a faint softness in his deep voice.
This lunch box and spoon were taken by Xiao Zhuan from her dormitory. At this moment, seeing him holding her light green lunch box in one hand, and holding the green hat and silver long spoon gently and skillfully in the other hand, his fingers seemed to be more and more fair and slender. Jin Xi suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and turned her head to the side firmly: "Don't eat."
Han Chen glanced at her and put his hand down.
"Sure." He said, "You don't eat me."
Jin Xi was slightly stunned, turned her head to look, and saw that he picked up her spoon indifferently and put a mouthful of rice directly into his mouth. Then he glanced at her, lowered his head, and took another sip.
Jin Xi: "...as you wish."
Han Chen eats slowly. Jin Xi was bored for a while, then glanced over and saw that he was still holding a lunch box and a spoon, chewing slowly. His posture was still handsome and quiet.
"Where's my chain?" Jin Xi asked what she wanted to ask yesterday, and reached out to him, "Give it back to me!"
Han Chen looked at her, put down the spoon, reached into the neckline of the hospital gown, and picked out the chain for her to see. Then pick up the spoon and continue eating.
Jin Xi: "...Who made you hang around your neck? Give it back to me!"
However, Han Chen ignored her request and asked indifferently, "What kind of chain is this?"
Jin Xi doesn't want to talk too much about the meaning of this chain, so she replied casually, "You don't know this? It's a small meteorite. Give it back to me!"
Han Chen lowered his head, lifted the pendant with his fingers and looked at it, the black and twisted peanut was a big lump, it really looked like a stone. Looking at her anxious eyes, he was silent for a moment, took off the chain, tossed it in his hand, and looked at her sideways: "After you finish eating, the chain will be given to you."
Jin Xi: "Really?"
"Um."
He glanced at her, scooped up a spoon, and handed it to her mouth again. Jin Xi avoids his gaze, opens her mouth, and eats.
Just after chewing and swallowing, the second bite was delivered to the mouth.
Jin Xi doesn't say a word, just eats in one mouthful. And his eyes were always on her face.
It was quickly over.
He put down the lunch box and handed over a tissue. Jin Xi took it and wiped it, without even thinking about crumpling the paper into a ball and throwing it on top of him. His expression was still very dull, he bent over to pick up the paper ball from the ground, and threw it into the trash can.
"Chains!" she said at once.
Han Chen didn't answer, and didn't immediately give her the chain. Instead, he sat back on the bed and put his hands on her sides to cover her.
Jin Xi bit her lower lip and did not speak.
However, what he said next surprised her.
"I'll be away for a few days, and I'll be leaving tomorrow. Going to find out."
Jin Xi subconsciously wanted to ask him what he was looking for, but held back.
And he looked at her, those eyes made her heart hurt slightly again.
"Take care of yourself," he whispered.
Jin Xi is silent. He didn't speak for a moment.
The afternoon sun was bright and quiet, and the breeze gently brushed the curtains. His face was as handsome as a relief, and the two were so close together that his arms seemed to form a small space. Along with that, the atmosphere in this space seems to be ambiguous and restless.
He wants to kiss her.
His dark eyes, slightly pursed lips, and gently heaving chest seemed to be telling her this.
Although Jin Xi has always had a bad face towards him, at this moment, her heart is unconsciously hanging in her throat.
Both sweet and bitter.
She swore that if he kissed, she would slap him in the face.
Yet he didn't move.
Only that quiet but scorching gaze slid across her long hair, her face, her brows and her eyes, and finally landed on her lips.
After a moment of silence, he let go and stood up: "Have a good rest."
Jin Xi doesn't feel good at all.
He obviously didn't do anything, but she only felt hot on her cheeks and neck.
Obviously not kissed, but it was like being kissed by him for a long time.
Because I can clearly feel the patience and longing in his eyes.
This man, this man...
She grabbed the pillow, and although she couldn't force it too hard, she smashed it straight at him: "Give me the necklace! You promised me just now."
Han Chen grabbed the pillow, glanced at her, and threw it at the end of the bed.
"Coaxing you." He replied lightly, turned around and walked towards the door.
Jin Xi: "...Han Chen, you bastard!"
—
Han Chen provokes it simply, and walks away simply. Jin Xi was left alone, looking at the empty door and the room that suddenly became silent. Almost out of control in his mind, he repeatedly thought about his every move just now, the corners of his brows and eyes, and the breath between his fingers and lips.
Bitterness and sweetness, like tangled vines, tangled and spread in my heart.
Han Chen, did you know? I can't even ask if you choose your fiancée or me.
I don't want to be picked, and I'll never ask. I don't even want to force you to make a decision to commit.
But Han Chen, why are you looking at me like that
As if the person you love is me.
—
Early the next morning, Leng Nian drove Han Chen's Land Rover downstairs to the hospital.
Han Chen changed into a black jacket and slacks, and his left leg was still bandaged. He took the car keys from Leng Nian's hand, held the door and sat in.
Leng Nian threw a tote bag on the passenger. It contains a simple change of clothes for him, a map, all relevant documents about Bai Jin Xi, mineral water, and the medicine he needs to take these days. There is also a bottle of painkillers to prevent his foot injury from attacking.
"How many days?" he asked coldly.
Han Chen started the car and replied, "Three or four days." Glancing at him, "Take care of Bai Jin Xi."
The cold face still didn't ask much, and nodded.
Han Chen's car quickly drove out of the hospital gate, Leng Mian also called a car and returned to the police station.
And downstairs in the inpatient department, more than a hundred meters away, Xin Jia, who was wearing a white dress, stood dazedly in the corner of the corridor, watching Han Chen's car go away, motionless.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at the window of Jin Xi's ward upstairs, her face became more gloomy and indifferent.
