The young man sitting on the bed was chewing porridge, and the bandage wrapped around his chest could be seen under the collar of the half-open hospital gown, but he didn't carry any equipment to provide medical treatment for his body, only a retained needle was stuck on the back of his right hand and was infusing infusion.

He was obviously very uncomfortable eating with this needle-burying hand, so when Lin Ranran and Xie Jin came in, the nurse kept wiping the dropped rice grains for them.

After hearing Lin Ranran's voice, the young man saw Xie Jin in front of him and looked at each other. The two of them were not what they remembered each other.

At this time, Ji Duan on the hospital bed seems to be thinner than when Xie Jin saw the living soul state, and his slightly long forehead hair blocked his eyes, so he was pinned on the top of his head by some colorful hairpins. This is probably only Lin Ranran's ability to do it. things.

"Ji..." Xie Jin took a step forward, he wanted to call the young man by his name, but he didn't see any surprised expression on the other's face.

So he stopped at the same spot, just looking at the strange but familiar person, lost in thought for a while.

"Who is this?" Ji Duan handed the bowl to the nurse, and he leaned back on the soft silk cushion behind him. He asked Lin Ranran, but his eyes were on Xie Jin.

Dazed, unfamiliar, and puzzled, this is the information Xie Jin read from those eyes. He stood there blankly, not knowing why he didn't dare to take a step forward.

Is it fear? He was indeed afraid, afraid that Ji Duan who sat on the bed after approaching him was actually another person, afraid that the young man who was born and died with him would really forget him completely.

Xie Jin opened his mouth, he was a little at a loss, and even started to panic, if the person in front of him was not Ji Duan, then where did Ji Duan go in his memory? Was it assimilated, or... completely disappeared?

In the canvas bag on his back, Jiu was writhing, as if he wanted to come out, Xie Jin tightly gripped the bag strap, he clenched his back molars, and said the name tremblingly.

"Ji Duan... I, I..." He felt his lips trembling, and even his eyelashes began to tremble uncontrollably. Everything in front of him became blurred. When Xie Jin realized it, he found that he had already burst into tears full face.

"Brother, are you sleepy?" Lin Ranran found out and came over to wrap Xie Jin's arm, "This is Xie Jin, it's you who told me to protect Xie...!"

Before she could finish her words, the young man on the hospital bed suddenly let out a painful sob. He kept patting his head with his hands, regardless of the fact that the retained needle buried in the back of his hand had returned blood.

When everyone didn't expect it, Ji Duan struggled violently on the bed with his head in his arms. His strength was astonishing, and he directly pulled down the bracket holding the hanging bottle, and the stainless steel bracket smashed aside the decorative vases, flowers and water. Scattered on a bed.

The blood flowing back from the infusion catheter was so red that Xie Jin was startled.

"Who the hell is he, what's important! Why can't I remember...Ahh—"

Ji Duan bowed in pain, yelling vaguely in sentences that no one could understand. He was like a wild beast, and even the nurse who was also an adult man couldn't stop it.

This disgraceful farce finally came to an end when the medical staff arrived, and Ji Duan, who was injected with a sedative, regained his composure and was placed in a soft silk quilt.

There were still traces of tears on that quiet face, and the corner of his mouth was bitten off when he went crazy just now, and blood splattered around his mouth.

What was even more horrible was the hand where the needle was originally buried. The retained needle was almost broken in the blood vessel, and the hand full of needle holes was already bruised. Fortunately, the medical staff arrived in time to avoid the tragedy.

"Sorry, I didn't expect his reaction to be so big." Lin Ranran found Xie Jin on the sofa in the corner after dealing with the farce. She squatted down in front of Xie Jin, gently touching him like a little girl who made a mistake. Xie Jin's hands were still shaking.

When she touched Xie Jin's hand, Lin Ranran exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God! Why is it so cold, go and get me a hot water bottle!"

She hurriedly greeted the nurse, and it wasn't until she put the hot water bottle into Xie Jin's hand that Lin Ranran returned to the appearance of doing something wrong just now. Seeing that Xie Jin was not moving, she poked his knee cautiously.

"I'm sorry, I should have told you in advance, I didn't expect my brother to react so strongly."

"So, that's why you asked me to be mentally prepared, right?" Xie Jin asked softly, the hot water bottle in his palm had warmed his hands quickly, but his body was still cold, and the feeling of fear still surrounded him. with him.

"Ran Ran, can I call you that..." Xie Jin put the hot water bottle on his appetite, "Does Ji Duan not remember me?"

"Of course! You can call me Ran Ran, oh no, my brother!" The girl explained in a hurry, like a deflated ball, she simply gave up struggling and said weakly, "Indeed, when my brother woke up, I just noticed something was wrong with him."

Lin Ranran sat down next to Xie Jin with that exquisite and beautiful face on her shoulders. She kicked off her high heels and stepped on the floor barefoot, "Actually, I guessed that you guys were watching your live broadcast replay and my brother's attitude towards you. relationship."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Jin, whose brain was already in chaos, was stuck. He widened his eyes and looked at the girl with a forced smile beside him. He didn't know what to say for a while.

"Oh, don't look at me like that, you make me feel ashamed!" Lin Ranran pretended to cover her eyes with both hands, then opened her fingers to peek at Xie Jin's reaction, seeing that the other party still kept that expression, she knew that it was a funny failure, so she could only accept her fate explained.

"With my brother's attitude towards you that the sky is falling and he can't wait to pull me up to protect you, it must be obvious compared to his indifference after waking up, so I asked him side-by-side, and when I mentioned you He had a headache every now and then."

Lin Ranran pursed her lips and looked at Xie Jin with a guilty conscience, "So I wondered if it would be better when you come back from Badong Village to see him, but it had the opposite effect."

"Are you saying that Ji Duan will only react so strongly after seeing me?" Xie Jin rubbed his fingers, which were getting colder, "What about other things, apart from me, he still remembers other things when his soul came out of his body? ?"

"I don't seem to remember clearly." Lin Ranran looked at Xie Jin's obviously disappointed expression, she hesitated for a while, but decided to continue to add.

"But it won't be as intense as... mentioning you. Once he woke up with a sedative, I asked him how he felt about those experiences, and he said it was like a nightmare, only remembering some fragments, but thinking about it. Can't afford the person in that dream."

The dream will eventually wake up, but the person in the dream may disappear with the awakening.

Xie Jin was silent for a while, then suddenly got up and walked slowly to the bed. The young man on the bed remained in the same position as before, and he slept soundly under the influence of the drug.

Putting his hand towards the warm body hidden in the soft quilt, Xie Jin put his hand on Ji Duan's heart.

"Plop, plop."

Slow and powerful, it was a real heartbeat. Xie Jin seemed to confirm a big thing. He half-knelt on the edge of the bed and touched the young man's cheek with his hand that had returned to the cold temperature.

He wiped away the tears left in the corner of the other's eyes with his fingertips, then lifted that finger, put it on his mouth and gave a light kiss.

It was just like kissing, he didn't want to see Ji Duan clinging to the memory he couldn't remember, struggling in pain after stimulation again and again.

"Good night, dear."

Xie Jin wriggled his chapped lips, leaned over Ji Duan's ear and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

When he got up again, he had already sorted out his emotions, and even squeezed out a smile when he looked at Lin Ranran.

"Brother Xie Jin, where are you going?" Lin Ranran avoided just now. At this time, she was standing at the door of the ward. She saw Xie Jin appearing behind her and asked a little puzzled.

"He is mentally and emotionally unstable now, and my presence will stimulate him." Xie Jin returned the rabbit-shaped hot water bottle in his arms to Lin Ranran. Although his expression looked soft, the firmness in his eyes made him One cannot ignore it.

"So, it's better for me not to appear in front of him recently."
