On the way back, I drove.

  Wu Yu seemed to have finally gotten tired, leaning against the passenger seat, not making a sound for half a day. My mind was also thinking about all sorts of things, until we entered the city and he said: "Just drop me off at the store entrance."

  I didn't say anything.

  After a while, I said: "You say this criminal, looks like a madman, but every move seems to have a rule. He is so special to Zhu Zihan, the first one to propose the ransom condition, but it's for Zhao Rui Xin. We previously analyzed that he didn't do it for money. I'm getting more and more confused. What do you think, what kind of chess game is he playing next?"

  Thick fog, this is how I feel now.

  After finishing speaking, I waited for his clear and low voice to sound. But after a while, there was only the even and long breathing sound. I turned my head to look at him, he had fallen asleep.

  When I encountered the red light, I stopped and continued to look at him. The man's eyebrows were still clear and deep in his sleep, but now he looked disheveled, with a bandage on his head and bloodstains. His body was also dirty all over. But as I looked at his hand placed on his thigh, which was also covered in mud and dirt, I felt that there was something warm about him.

  There has never been a man sitting beside me. He sits like this and I feel good too.

  In the dead of night, there are few cars on the road. With driving skills like mine, I felt as smooth as a fish in water. I turned a corner steadily and drove steadily, seeing him sleep soundly, I had a kind of magical sense of satisfaction.

  The car stopped in front of his store.

  The store closed early, the lights were out, and the storefront looked cold and desolate in the dark night. Of course, no one would be waiting for him to return. He went back alone, what did he eat? Who took care of him? How did he go to the hospital?

  Thinking of these questions, I hesitated for a second and didn't wake him up, driving on.

  Arrived at the best hospital in this area.

  The emergency department was brightly lit, and for us who came in the middle of the night, it showed a warm atmosphere. I patted his shoulder: "Hey, wake up."

  He suddenly opened his eyes. You could feel that a man like him, even when asleep, was on high alert and tense. His gaze quickly cleared up, looking at the hospital in front of him, then looked at me and said, "Thank you."

  He said: "You don't need to accompany me anymore, go back and rest."

  I turned around and looked at him, smiling: "Who has ever crossed a river and destroyed the bridge so quickly?"

  He was taken aback and laughed, saying: "You writers always use idioms like this?"

  I got off the car, nodded and said: "Well, it depends on the need, use it flexibly. If you're a man, don't dawdle, let's go."

  Wu Yu didn't say anything else, and the two of us walked into the emergency room together. I said, "I know that feeling, coming to the hospital alone is the most miserable. Sometimes when I'm sick, I come by myself, running around, paying fees, getting tested, picking up medicine, getting infusions... that kind of heart-wrenching feeling is doubled."

  After finishing speaking, Wu Jian saw me and looked at me with a hint of smile in his eyes. He said: "That's your woman. Which big man needs someone to accompany him to the hospital, it's not like he has a terminal illness."

  I stopped in my tracks, hands on hips: "You mean you don't care that I accompanied you?" As soon as the words left my mouth, I suddenly felt a slight flutter in my chest, my mouth was too quick.

  But I still stared at him straightly.

  His gaze seemed to have a moment of stagnation, looking at me. At this time, we had already walked to the emergency registration window, and he followed suit as if he hadn't heard, took out his wallet, and registered. My heart seemed to have just fallen down at that moment.

  He doesn't say he's interested or uninterested. He won't utter a word about things he doesn't want to talk about.
