Chapter 41

........

at dusk,

The clouds scattered on the horizon, don't know when, were dyed with a flaming red light, and there were billowing black clouds around.

Layer upon layer, layer upon layer, approaching Huadu City step by step...

Rain is coming,

He walked in the gray and silent city, but he couldn't find a trace of hope...

Maybe this is Huaducheng.

There is no eternal light, and there is no eternal darkness. More often, it is a gray area as it is now.

It is always possessed by the wind and clouds, and is endowed with an incomprehensible mysterious atmosphere.

......

The weak branches on the side of the road, in the haze, are drooping down their body in a lifeless manner.

The branches of the tree are implicated in twos and threes, with dead leaves that are lifeless.

On such a sparsely populated road, with the dry and cold wind in the world, there are meaningless ups and downs.

The rain began to fall, one after another, slapping him fiercely.

The glasses hit the mist, and the world has become hazy...

Xie Qingqi walked aimlessly on the main road, stumbled along the way...

He seemed to have lost his way in the fog and had strayed into a no-man's land.

I don't know where I came from, and I don't know where I'm going.

He didn't know what he was doing now, and he didn't know what else he could do.

It's just that he's in a low mood, it's just that the mood is too complicated, it's just that the sky is too gloomy, it's just... In his empty chest, he can't draw more oxygen.

It was as if his throat was choked by an invisible hand, he couldn't resist, he was so suppressed that it was hard to breathe...

He's about to.... nearly out of breath...

who...

Can you come and help me?

save.....

help me...

Help.....

help... life...

Xie Qingqi thought he would cry, but he didn't know why, but he seemed to be unable to cry.

It's like a robot controlled by a human, with an error in the program and having emotions that it shouldn't have.

He could only hypnotize himself and lead him with mechanical and instinctive numbness, so that he could barely survive in the world like a walking corpse.

..........

Passing by the bar that Brother Xiao went to last night, Xie Qingqi hardly thought about this step, stepped forward and walked straight in.

He borrowed a mobile phone from the bartender he knew, and first called Brother Xiao to report that he was safe.

Then.....

Then don't know...

Seeing that he was in a daze, the bartender came over and patted him on the shoulder at the right time, "Guest...guest?"

"Ah?" Xie Qingqi looked at him, paused for a moment, and then suddenly reacted. He immediately said apologetically, "I'm sorry, can you please wait a little longer? I'll make another call."

The bartender was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Of course you can."

Xie Qingqi nodded, smiled and said again, "Thank you." Then he lowered his head, but he couldn't smile. He looked melancholy and just kept holding the phone.

The funny thing is, for a while, he didn't know who else could he call?

In fact, there were only two phone calls that he could remember, and he didn't even have the courage to call the only one left.

In the end, Xie Qingqi made the last call.

"Hello? Hello." A slightly old voice came out.

Hearing this voice, Xie Qingqi was silent for a while before he whispered, "Teacher."

This is Professor Jiang's landline number in the hospital office.

Xie Qingqi was also found on the Internet.

Professor Jiang was also silent for a moment, because he knew that Xie Qingqi would not get through this phone number easily, something must have happened.

Professor Jiang was in a calm mood and simply asked about Xie Qingqi's current situation. Of course, Xie Qingqi's answer was half-truth mixed with water.

"Have you made up your mind?"

Facing Professor Jiang's words, Xie Qingqi's first thought was not to answer, but, "Is there any other choice? ’

But he really doesn't know, where else can he go?

He smiled wryly and replied calmly, "Yeah."

"Well." Professor Jiang responded flatly and said, "Then let me talk to the other side."

"When can I go?" Xie Qingqi asked suddenly.

"..."

It wasn't that Professor Jiang was stopped by his question, but Xie Qingqi was anxious.

Xie Qingqi took a long breath, lowered his breath, and asked again, "Can I leave today?"

He wanted to go, and the sooner the better, preferably now.

Before his brain could react, he needed to push himself.

Only by throwing myself out, pushing myself into a corner, leaving myself no choice.

He could force himself to accept this reality...

He was very afraid, afraid that if he hesitated any longer, he would start to regret it again...

that person.....

I'm already annoying him, really don't...don't be hated by him...

Professor Jiang was silent for a while, and then calmly expressed his opinion, "Qing Qi... Maybe now is not the time."

"..."

"Or, this job is not for you now."

"We are doctors, and what we do is to save lives and heal the wounded. Especially those of us who are doing medical research and development, we must do our best. If you are overwhelmed by things, this life-saving thing may also turn into murder. If you are not prepared. , please never touch it, hurt others, and hurt yourself."

Professor Jiang is always so calm, narrating everything slowly, and treating everything rigorously.

Xie Qingqi once thought that he was very similar to the teacher, so he was selected by Professor Jiang and became the proud student of Jiang Lao.

But now it seems that he is still far behind...

Xie Qingqi lowered his head, his hair covered his eyes, he moved his lips, "Teacher..."

"Anything, I don't want you to solve it by escaping."

"Or, when you calm down, let's talk about this again."

Mr. Jiang, it's not Mr. Jiang...

Xie Qingqi knew that he didn't want to say more, so he no longer refuted, and he accepted everything one by one, "Yes..."

Finally, he hung up the phone, returned the phone to the bartender, and politely thanked him.

......

"Xie Qingqi?"

Xie Qingqi paused and looked towards the source of the sound...

Is it Pan Hao? !

Pan Hao also brought a woman next to him. He put one hand on the woman's waist and groped for his chin with the other. He stared at Xie Qingqi with his eyes wide open.

Suddenly, Pan Hao was surprised for a moment and deliberately exclaimed, "Oh, this is really our senior Xie. What's going on? It's only been two months since we haven't seen you, how can you be like this?"

And that woman glared at Xie Qingqi. Xie Qingqi ignored her, but her eyes were about to grow on Xie Qingqi. But the hand still didn't forget to walk around Pan Hao, and asked delicately, "Brother Hao, who is this little brother?"

"How is it? You look good, don't you?"

It's just the tone of Pan Hao's words, but it doesn't look like he is praising Xie Qingqi at all.

The woman was also direct, and didn't want to miss any chance to tease, "Hey, does my little brother have a girlfriend?"

Pan Hao stared at Xie Qingqi's face, raised his eyebrows, and answered the woman's question proudly, "He doesn't have a girlfriend, but he does have a boyfriend."

"......"

"..."

Xie Qingqi glanced at the woman, only to see a strange look on her face.

Seeing that Xie Qingqi did not refute, she was even more convinced of Pan Hao's words.

The whole face suddenly turned black, as if to say, a good man, what's wrong with him, do you have to like a man?

It took less than a minute for the woman to go back and forth from her sweet words and laughter to her contemptuous expression.

Pan Hao seemed to be very satisfied with her reaction, and he laughed outright on the spot regardless of his image.

In the midst of laughter, Xie Qingqi lowered his head to help his glasses. When he raised his head again, his eyes suddenly became cold. He looked at Pan Hao coldly and asked directly, "Is something wrong?"

"It's okay, can't you care about the outstanding representatives of our third middle school?" Pan Hao just wanted to put his hand on Xie Qingqi's shoulder, but was blocked by Xie Qingqi, "No need."

Seeing Xie Qingqi getting up and about to leave, Pan Hao stared at his back, and suddenly shouted, "So what are you doing so angry? Could it be that he was dumped by Yi Chuyang?!"

Hearing this, Xie Qingqi really stopped, and there was an earth-shattering laugh from behind...

"Hahaha, did I really guess it?" After a while, Pan Hao was probably tired of laughing, he waved his hand weakly, and said, "But it's only a matter of time when the two of you break up, and you dump each other once. , it's quite fair."

"You're courting death?!" Xie Qingqi couldn't bear it any longer, so he rushed back decisively and grabbed Pan Hao's collar.

The woman next to her was so frightened that she stepped back, and her screams directly attracted the attention of the audience.

Xie Qingqi glanced around from the corner of his eye. The people scattered on the booths stood up in twos and threes.

Most of them are from Pan Hao.

Pan Hao laughed too wildly, he grabbed Xie Qingqi's wrist that was holding his collar, and provoked him without fear of death, "Aiya, what's wrong with our perfect senior Xie? Where are all the gentlemen who are so proud of their elegance? I'm just a jerk, and I'm used to speaking in a bad way. Could it be that Senior Xie wants to care about this with me?"

"Just a few words and you stabbed your lung tube?" Pan Hao said more and more vigorously, "How is it? Do you want to fight?"

Unfortunately, in Xie Qingqi's eyes, this Pan Hao is a lunatic.

Xie Qingqi let go of his hand, pushed him back, and wiped his hands in disgust, "You can get out."

Pan Hao slammed into the table and barely stopped, but instead of getting angry, he stood up, smiled at Xie Qingqi, and said, "What senior Xie said two months ago, shouldn't he? Did you forget?"

"..."

Xie Qingqi naturally remembered that he had an appointment with Pan Hao two months ago. It's just that he didn't show up for two months, and this suddenly appeared, just to fight him?

Seeing that he didn't answer, Pan Hao wanted to provoke him with words, "Aren't you afraid?"

"......"

Xie Qingqi unhurriedly lowered his head and adjusted his glasses, looking at him indifferently.
