It took Ruan Yu nearly eleven years to finally say "I miss you" when this thrilling day was about to end.

It’s not that she suddenly changed her sex, but that day, after witnessing a lifelong miss with her own eyes, she suddenly realized that she should not care about fair wins and losses in her relationships.

We should not care about who has the upper hand, who speaks first or who bows his head first.

Because you never know whether there will be a sudden disaster when you make these unnecessary conspiracies that will completely and forever separate you, and even lose the opportunity to conspire.

Therefore, when you can still say "I miss you", you must tell him.

Even if you lose, it doesn't matter.

The moment the words fell, the other end of the phone seemed to be still, and there was no echo in the sound.

Ruan Yu blinked a few moments, and just as he was about to move his phone away to look at the signal, he heard Xu Huaisong say, "The signal has not stopped."

Xu Huaisong leaned against the railings of the hospital corridor, raised his head from the warm yellow halo, and slowly stood up straight.

The signal did not break, but his brain circuit was broken.

He suddenly said, "Wait for me." Then he hurried to the end of the corridor and went down the stairs.

Ruan Yu was confused. After a long time, he heard the footsteps stop, and a slightly gasping sounded: "So too."

"What?" She almost forgot where she said just now.

"I miss you too, or... I may miss you more than you think of me." Xu Huaisong finished speaking word by word, and then subconsciously held his breath.

It was not until Ruan Yu smiled that he completely loosened his tense body and started to breathe again.

After he finished his breathing, Ruan Yu asked, "Why did you have to run a lap before you say it?"

He choked and replied, "I was just outside the ward, and there was a nurse on duty in the corridor." So at first he clearly heard that she wanted to be comforted, and he pretended to be stupid and did not say explicit words.

"What's wrong? Do they understand Chinese?"

“…”

He forgot what he said.

Xu Huaisong lowered his head and smiled: "It's too much to consume today, so you may be a little confused."

“What to consume?”

He looked helpless: "What do you think?"

Ruan Yu muttered: "I don't know, I'll ask you."

Xu Huaisong gritted his teeth and had to say it clearly: "Worry about you."

Ruan Yu laughed again.

Look, it’s not that difficult to just say something.

She pondered for a while and said, "But on the phone, you were obviously very calm and said that the police would protect me, so there was no need to worry."

"That's to comfort you."

He didn't trust the police so much. One in ten thousand chances of her accident were enough to make him unable to sit up.

It has been twice, and she will never know how weak he was to hear bad news from her across thousands of mountains and rivers. He just pretended to be calm to comfort her.

He moved his phone away, turned to the ticket booking page, and took a picture for her.

When Ruan Yu received the news, she found that it was a flight to China at 11:00 pm San Francisco time.

Within five minutes of receiving her call, he bought a plane ticket. He did not rush to the airport after confirming her safety.

Her nose felt sore, and she took a breath with a little touching cry.

This crying voice reminded Xu Huaisong, and his voice became a little stern: "If you have to cry on the phone in the future, say clearly before crying."

After being inspired by his tone, Ruan Yu's touch was wiped out in an instant.

He then made a serious statement: "You may be fine, my heart will be scared first."

Ruan Yu choked and said "Oh". But after getting the comfort he wanted, he didn't care about his strong tone. She said, "I understand, go back to the ward to look at his uncle."

Xu Huaisong stood under the street light with his cell phone holding up, and looked at the direction of the inpatient department: "It doesn't matter, the nurse is here, the situation is basically stable, he is asleep now."

"Do you like to stand outside and feed mosquitoes?"

"Well, I squeezed the one on your chin to death last time, and I feel sorry for it. Take care of its compatriots."

“…”

Ruan Yu smiled, took his cell phone and left the door, let out a sigh of relief, and fell on the bed.

Hearing the rustling, Xu Huaisong asked, "What are you doing?"

"Tired, lie down for a while." She sighed, "Actually, I'm still very scared today, my legs are weak. I didn't know I was going to climb the ladder before..."

"You got on the ladder?" Xu Huaisong's tone was a little surprised, "Aren't you afraid of heights?"

This time it was Ruan Yu's turn to be surprised: "How did you know?"

Because on the 40th anniversary of No. 1 Middle School, many students were arranged by teachers to arrange reception venues. Maybe there were too many jobs, and the teacher came randomly when assigned tasks, and did not take care of men and women. At the beginning, she was assigned a job of tying ribbons, and she had to wrap the ribbons around the pole on the window ridge. Because she didn't dare to climb high, she looked for people to change them everywhere.

Then he went.

When she found the replacement, she looked up and saw that the ribbon had been tied up, and she thought someone had done the wrong job.

Xu Huaisong was silent for a long time in the night, and finally looked up at a crescent moon in the sky and said, "I will tell you when I come back."

What, mysterious.

But Ruan Yu was really tired and didn't think deeply about it. She turned over on the bed and thought about what it was and said: "What do you think Zhou Jun will be like? I went to take the transcript in the afternoon and saw that he entered the interrogation room and didn't come out for a long time."

Xu Huaisong had a rough understanding of the case from the police and said: "The current situation is that objective evidence points to him, and his subjective explanation is only one-sided. Even if he does not kill, it will be difficult to easily clear the suspicion."

Ruan Yu choked in his throat and heard him continue: "There may be two types of release from him. First, before the trial, other suspects appeared, and all the evidence pointed to him has been reasonably refuted. Second, he was acquitted at the trial because of insufficient evidence."

"According to the current situation, assuming that the real murderer does exist, he must be a habitual offender with a lot of experience and may not be arrested in a short period of time, so he is likely to try the second way."

Ruan Yu said "Hmm": "You can't defend him, do you?"

"cannot."

Not to mention that he has not taken the domestic judicial examination yet, even if he passes the examination and obtains the lawyer qualification certificate, he is not a professional criminal lawyer. This matter should still follow the principle of "specializing in profession".

He said: "I have asked Liu Mao to arrange the defense lawyer's affairs. I will discuss the details with them after I finish my work in two days."

Xu Huaisong kept feeding mosquitoes until after 2 a.m. before returning to the ward.

Ruan Yu got up to cook, and then went to bed early, but ended up having a nightmare all night. So the next morning, Ruan’s parents, who had dark circles, drove her back to the city.

This place is too close to the crime scene. She is already timid and must have nightmares when she is in this house.

Ruan Yu also felt that it should be due to geographical location, and it would be better when he arrived in the city, so he listened to his parents.

But unexpectedly, even when she arrived in the city, she still felt physically and mentally uncomfortable once she left the lively environment and returned to a quiet place, especially at night.

Because Shen Mingying happened to purchase goods from other places in the past few days, she went to a hotel in the city to pick up Xu Pipi, and for two consecutive nights, she barely fell asleep with the cat and Xu Huaisong and Mie.

Her night was his day. Xu Huaisong could hardly do anything else during the two consecutive days. Occasionally, he had something to deal with, and then he was shut up for a while. When she woke up, she heard that he was dead and immediately asked, "Why is there no sound?" He had to start the mic immediately and explain, and then sleep with her again.

He knew she was a person who knew how to behave.

If you weren't really afraid, you would never be willful.

So on the third day, Xu's father was transferred from ICU to the general ward, able to eat and drink, and everything was normal, so Xu Huaisong began to consider returning to China.

Just then, Lu Shenglan came to the hospital and arrived at the ward compartment. He saw that he was wearing headphones and his phone showed the voice call interface on the side. He understood it and took a piece of paper to write to him: "I'm done with the case at hand. I can work here in the next few days. If you have something to do, go back to China first."

Xu Huaisong took a look at the notes and did not answer for a moment.

She continued to write: "Uncle Xu is my mentor to enter the industry. It is worth taking care of him, don't worry."

Xu Huaisong was about to write to her with a pen, but when he heard Ruan Yu's dream come from his headphones, she seemed to have woken up crying again.

Before he could write, he immediately said to Mai: "Have you had a nightmare? I'm here."

Ruan Yu's voice was blurry and it took a long time to recover: "Well... it's okay, I'll get up and pour a glass of water..."

"Well, turn on the bedside lamp first, remember to wear slippers, walk carefully, and don't drink cold water." Xu Huaisong spoke very slowly, and it seemed that he was not really asking her anything, but just keeping the sound so that she would not be afraid when she walked to the living room.

After she finished drinking the water and returned to the bed, he said again: "Cover the quilt and keep sleeping, I won't hang up."

After more than twenty minutes, Ruan Yu's breathing returned to a well-proportioned state. I thought she could sleep for a while, so he gently shut up the wheat, and then looked up and said to Lu Shenglan who had been standing beside him for a long time: "Sorry."

Lu Shenglan shook his head and said it was okay, and hesitated and asked: "What happened to her?"

Xu Huaisong briefly explained: "The suspect took the hostage and she was asked by the police to assist in the negotiations."

“The negotiation was successful?”

"Um."

"Did she act too calm at that time?"

Xu Huaisong frowned.

Lu Shenglan continued: "I have done research in this regard. According to her personality, if the incident happened, if I forcibly overcome my stress reaction and complete the negotiation, it may cause a psychological rebound afterwards."

Xu Huaisong frowned even more: "What do you mean is, do you need to contact a psychologist?"
