"I'll go out for a while." Zhu Jin replied, and walked towards the flying car with her bodyguard sister who followed her out after hearing the noise.
"Go to the Marine Hospital." Zhu Jin said without hesitation.
After hearing the conversation between Chonglou and his assistant at the Ocean Hospital, she looked at Chonglou's steps that suddenly became unsteady due to his injury, but ultimately did not step forward to ask for clarification.
She suddenly felt sorry for Chonglou. She couldn't bear to see him endure the physical pain while taking the trouble to explain to her and make up a white lie.
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up, and she doesn't want the future between her and Chonglou to be filled with lies.
She retreated, walked out of the hospital step by step, and returned home.
But when she got home, she suddenly realized that she shouldn't have done that. What she did was a lie, a lie she told herself.
The bond between him and Chonglou grew deeper and deeper, and both he and she became anxious and worried.
Just as she sat down in the flying car, her cell phone rang. Fuling was looking for her, "I want to come to you later."
Zhu Jin: "Sure, but I have to go look for Chonglou now, so I might be back late."
Fuling: "Why are you looking for him at this time?"
"I want to ask him something, ask him clearly."
Fuling's eyes turned, "What did Chonglou do? You can use the software I installed for you, it's very useful."
Zhu Jin rolled his eyes at her and said, "Don't make trouble." Then he said a few more words and cut off contact.
Fuling had installed an additional software on her phone than Chonglou, and bound it to Chonglou's number. If she clicked on it, she could monitor what was happening on Chonglou's side.
When Fuling secretly told her, she was as helpless as she is now. Her first reaction was to uninstall it, "Why did you install this for me? Uninstall me now."
"I'm doing this for your own good. Although neither of you said much, I can see that you've always been uneasy about Chong Lou, especially after he disappeared inexplicably for half a year. You've always been a little... anxious. Well, to put it simply, you lack a sense of security around Chong Lou. This situation is not right, and it will affect your relationship. If you want to make things right, you either need to change your mindset or take absolute initiative into your own hands."
"With this software, if you feel worried, you can click it to see if Chonglou is safe. If Chonglou is always safe, you won't feel uneasy in the future. Such software is illegal except in military areas. I installed it for you because I trust you and know you won't eavesdrop or do other things without reason. I just installed it to make you feel at ease. Just leave it for a while. After a while, you really don't need me to uninstall it for you." Because of Fuling's persuasion, she didn't insist in the end.
The reason to know whether Chonglou was safe moved him. She didn't want the experience of Chonglou to happen again. If Chonglou disappeared again, she might be able to find him through this software.
Of course, she hoped she would never have to use the software.
If Fuling hadn't mentioned it, she wouldn't have thought of this software before. Now that Fuling mentioned it, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but she really couldn't remain indifferent.
After all, Chonglou was injured, but he didn't want her to know. She didn't know if she could hear the truth if she went now.
But no matter what, she would never use this software. If she did, she, Zhu Jin, would no longer be Zhu Jin.
What she wanted to do was to get it clear, and what she had to do was to get it clear.
It's not that she doesn't want to respect Chonglou's ideas, but she really can't do it. She didn't feel anything before, but after Chonglou came back this time, although he was still the same in front of her, she could still clearly feel his changes.
Chonglou had something he couldn't tell her, and he was obsessed with protecting her, to the point of being overly obsessed. The real reason why Chonglou, with his personality, concealed things from her, even to the point of being paranoid, was that he was uneasy.
Perhaps for himself, or perhaps because he was still in danger, Chonglou was undoubtedly uneasy.
How can she feel at ease if Chonglou is uneasy? If this continues, the distrust, estrangement and other things that accompany the anxiety will soon follow.
What she didn't want most was for there to be a real rift between Chonglou and her. She didn't want Chonglou and her to be further and further apart, to the point where no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't really get close.
Life is too short, and she doesn't want to die with regrets like in her previous life, and be tormented by regrets for a hundred years.
When Zhu Jin came back, it was almost time to get off work and there were fewer people in the hospital. Zhu Jin asked and found out that Chonglou was actually undergoing surgery.
Zhu Jin frowned deeply and couldn't help thinking that if she hadn't left before, she would have stopped his desperate behavior.
No matter what, there was nothing that could be done once they entered the operating room. Zhu Jin stood outside the operating room for a while, and finally asked the guard sister to go back first, and he went to Dean Chonglou's office.
Zhu Jin looked at the sofa in the office and the couch in the lounge and chose the couch in the lounge without hesitation.
Zhu Jin closed the door of the lounge and lay on the couch, thinking about random things for a while, and somehow he fell into a trance.
He didn't know how long he was in a daze, but he woke up because of a faint sound in his ear. Zhu Jin quickly sat up, and a low but clear voice reached his ears.
"...Do you really not need me to treat your wound again?" It was Baishen.
"No, it's a surgery that can be done while sitting, it just requires more energy." Upon hearing Chonglou's answer, Zhu Jin frowned instantly, got off the couch and casually straightened his clothes.
"Is the reason why I suddenly attacked you this time because you stopped Zhu Jin before?" Bai Su's words made Zhu Jin hesitate as he walked to the door.
"Yes and no, regardless of Zhu Jin's reasons or not, these people and these things will happen." Chonglou glanced at Baisui, "Such a thing was destined to happen the moment I succeeded. You had such great ambitions before, you underestimated what I had, and you also underestimated the interstellar alliance and the forces of aliens."
Bai Shen had nothing to say, but, "You have a point, but I don't understand why you hide it from Dr. Zhu Jin? Since you chose her, she will have to face these things with you in the future. It's not a good idea to keep hiding it from her. Now... she is your biggest weakness."
"The longer we keep it from her, the safer she will be." Chonglou smiled bitterly, "You don't know her temper. If she knew the truth, she would definitely put herself in danger for me."
"I can't argue with you!" Bai Shi stood up, "You are a doctor, don't let me nag you, just take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry." Chonglou nodded.
Zhu Jin stood in the lounge, listening to their conversation through a door. It became quiet outside. Zhu Jin took a deep breath and wanted to go out, but he heard noises from outside again.
The sounds of doors opening and greetings were louder than before. Zhu Jin recognized them as the voices of Yu Liren and Yu An.
“…Is he seriously injured?”
Chonglou grinned, "It's not light, but it's bearable. The medicine is good, and it will be healed in two days."
Yu An was blunt, "You deserve it! I told you not to be careful!"
Yu Liren was about to say something but was overtaken by the others. He could only swallow his words and said, "Don't be careless."
"Don't worry, I'm a doctor. Why are you here together?"
"I was planning to come and force you to go out for dinner and play, but when I ran into your assistant I realized you were injured again."
"Is everyone here?"
"Of course, the only one missing is you, Chonglou." Yu An's voice was very dissatisfied, "Chonglou, I said, are you really not going to hang out with us in the future? We have been playing together for so many years. In the past, you always took us out to play, saying that you wanted to relax and relieve stress. Now suddenly you don't want to play because of Doctor Zhu Jin. We are not used to it and are very dissatisfied!"
"Doctor Zhu Jin is not unreasonable. She will understand. If it doesn't work, you can take her there often. Slowly she will get used to it. Isn't it great to have a doctor and you to relieve stress together?"
"Don't give her any random advice. She knows she's not used to it." Chonglou shook his head.
"So we didn't ask her to come, but you can't do that. It disrupts our previous habits all of a sudden, and we have to follow your lead." Yu An said a little depressed, "We are all busy on weekdays. We can get together and relax when we have time. It's not like we are going to do anything bad..."
"Yu An, are you in menopause or did you have a sex change operation?" Yu Liren interrupted Yu An's complaints, "Why don't you wait two days to find a place to say these things? Now he is like this..."
Yu Liren shook his head and looked at Chonglou, "It's such a hassle after just one shipment. I have to be more careful next time."
"In another two years, when the business expands, more and more people will want to take a bite of this piece of fat meat." Chonglou nodded, looked at Yu Liren and instructed, "You must also pay special attention to safety."
"You and I are of different natures." Yu Liren stood up and awkwardly went to help Chonglou up, "Let's go, we'll take you back."
“No need for help…” Chonglou smiled helplessly.
"Why are you pretending in front of us? Just relax." Yu An used the same unfamiliar movements to support Chong Lou's other side. "We have already contacted Uncle Zhong. He said he would prepare a dinner suitable for you and settle the score after you recover."
They didn't hear Chonglou's answer because they left the office, and because they didn't leave at the beginning, Zhu Jin couldn't leave in the end either.
There was no estrangement or distrust between them, but she was unable to move on in the end.
The whole office fell silent. Zhu Jin stood there quietly for a long time. When he came out, it was already dark.
Two days later it was the weekend. Zhu Jin got up early to check on the herbs planted in the backyard. While he was weeding, he felt something strange. He looked up and saw Shi Shangbai in the yard of the Shi family opposite, as if he was about to go out.
Shi Shangbai stood in the yard, frowning and looking at Zhu Jin, not knowing how long he had been looking at him.
"Shi Shangbai." Zhu Jin stood up straight. They hadn't met each other since the day he was released from prison.
"What's wrong with you?" Ishigami Bai walked out of the door, took a few steps, looked at her through the fence and asked.
"What?" Zhu Jin was puzzled.
"Are your days going backwards?" Ishigami Kashi looked at her steadily. "Why are they not as good as they were six months ago or even a year ago?"
A year ago, she looked at the woman who was covered in scars, and looked like an old woman despite being young. She was so complicated that he couldn't see through her, but her eyes were calm, clear, and transparent.
Half a year ago, she finally looked younger and had a bright smile that matched her actual age.
