Shen Qingli slowly opened her eyes, the darkness enveloped her tightly like thick ink, and her consciousness gradually emerged from her dream.
I raised my hand to the head of the bed, and my fingertips felt the familiar cold touch of the phone.
I turned on the screen, and the dazzling light reflected the time on the screen - it was already 12:00 in the evening.
An unread message suddenly appeared in her sight. It was a message from an unknown number.
Shen Qingli sat up from the bed, and his slender fingers quickly reached for the switch on the bedside.
With a "pop", the light suddenly came on, and the strong light pierced into her eyes like countless needles. She subconsciously closed her eyes.
After her eyes gradually adjusted to the bright light, she looked at her phone again and opened the text message.
[Doctor Shen, the recent incident in the hospital was caused by someone deliberately framing you. You can find an opportunity to check the surveillance yourself.]
It was just a simple sentence, but it was like a huge wave thrown into a calm lake, causing shocking waves in Shen Qingli's heart.
She frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt and alertness flashed in her eyes.
Who is this person?
Why would you send yourself such a message?
Could it be that he knew some secrets that were unknown to others?
Without any hesitation, Shen Qingli tapped the screen and dialed the unfamiliar number.
The phone rang in the silent night, once, twice... However, the other party hung up mercilessly after ringing a few times.
She was unwilling to give up and pressed the dial button again, but the call was still disconnected.
Zhou Yanchen had been leaning on the back of the passenger seat with his eyes closed. When he heard the phone ring, he opened his eyes and glanced at Chang You inadvertently, just in time to see Chang You hang up the phone.
"Whose call is it? Why don't you answer it?" Zhou Yanchen asked casually, with a hint of nonchalance in his voice.
Chang You's eyes suddenly became evasive when he heard this, "Uh, a harassing call."
He stammered in reply, his voice filled with undisguised nervousness.
Shen Qingli held the phone in his hand, and the doubts in his heart grew stronger.
She didn't believe it was just a prank message.
But it's too late now, she'll go over and try tomorrow.
Although she had already left the hospital, she did not want to be accused of something she did not deserve.
She wants to leave with a clean slate.
After sleeping for a whole day, Shen Qingli is now completely sleepless.
She slowly stood up and got out of bed, each movement carrying a hint of laziness and heaviness.
She came to the balcony window and took in the bustling night scene of the city. The busy streets were like a flowing river of light, dazzling and noisy.
She stared quietly, but her thoughts were like a broken horse, drifting away into the distance.
This city, this residence, once carried her expectations for work and life.
This house was a second-hand house she bought for the convenience of work, but now it seems to have lost its original meaning.
Perhaps, there is nothing here worth her staying for, and it is time to say goodbye and let it welcome a new owner.
She looked around the familiar bedroom, and suddenly the scene of her and Zhou Yanchen together that night emerged in her mind.
She couldn't forget those memories because they were too painful.
Heartache, physical pain...
Zhou Yanchen, we will never see each other again.
Chang You drove Zhou Yanchen back home. Afterwards, he sat alone in the car, holding his mobile phone tightly in his hand, and fell into deep thought.
He originally had a simple plan, which was to send the copied video directly to Shen Qingli so that she could use it to find out the truth about the hospital's frame-up.
However, things did not develop as he expected. He had already handed the video to his boss, and now, if he wanted to take it back, his boss would definitely get angry.
He struggled in his heart and hesitated for a long time, but in the end he did not call Shen Qingli back.
He silently comforted himself in his heart, with Shen Qingli's intelligence, she would definitely think of checking the surveillance method, and she would definitely be able to find out the truth herself.
Zhou Yanchen returned home and went straight to the bathroom.
The warm water poured on his body, but it couldn't wash away the depression in his heart.
Two minutes later, he walked into the bathroom wrapped in a towel, his posture upright but with a hint of loneliness.
He went to the wine cabinet downstairs, picked up a bottle of liquor and a wine glass, and slowly went upstairs.
In front of the window, he poured himself a glass of wine, looking at the brightly lit world outside the window, his thoughts drifting involuntarily.
His mind kept reappearing the look of Shen Qingli that night. Did she agree to him so straightforwardly that night just to make him agree to a divorce?
Is that really the case?
Or are there some other reasons involved?
He didn't dare to think further, but his thoughts came flooding in like a tide, leaving him no way to escape.
His eyes gradually darkened, like the sea before a storm, depressing and deep.
He tilted his head back and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. The spicy liquid flowed down his throat, but it could not numb the pain and confusion in his heart.
Zhou Yanchen has recently fallen into an unprecedented state of confusion. He doesn't know what happened to him these days.
Whenever he tried to clear his mind or seek a moment of peace in his sleep, Shen Qingli's shadow would linger in his mind like a ghost and would not go away.
It was her with his eyes open and it was still her with his eyes closed. That figure seemed to have been deeply imprinted in the depths of his soul, making him feel like a possessed demon, and he was about to be driven to the brink of madness by this state.
He always thought that he hated Shen Qingli.
But why is his heart so confused now?
This contradictory feeling was like countless threads entangled in his heart, getting tighter and tighter, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
He tried to sort out these complicated emotions, but found that he had no idea where to start.
Zhou Yanchen was becoming increasingly restless. He was a man known for his calmness and self-possession.
In business and in every area of life, he was always in control and never let his emotions get out of control.
However, Shen Qingli seemed to be his nemesis. Whenever she was involved, all his rationality seemed to collapse in an instant.
She was like a torch that could easily ignite his anger. Just a look or a word would cause turbulent waves in his calm heart.
He didn't understand why he became so fragile and vulnerable in front of her.
This feeling of being out of control made him feel very uncomfortable.
But no matter how mad he was inside, he would not take the initiative to look for her this time.
Zhou Yanchen even thought that he was the one who needed to take care of his needs.
He walked to the coffee table, picked up his phone and called Chang You, "Find me a clean woman, right now."
Zhou Yanchen didn't believe it.
He didn't believe that he only had feelings for Shen Qingli.
