In the isolation ward, Lian Jun put down his phone, took a breath and leaned weakly on the bed. Shi
Jin, who was on the other side of the video call, immediately came to the camera and asked nervously: "What's wrong? Is your stomach upset again?"
Lian Jun looked at the tablet computer on the bedside, smiled at Shi Jin, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's not that your stomach is upset, it's just that I'm a little weak... I'm sorry that I couldn't see you off on the day you left."
"It doesn't matter, you fell asleep, how have you been these days, have you been sleepy again?" Shi Jin asked softly, deliberately choosing more daily words, hoping to make Lian Jun feel more at ease.
After hearing this, Lian Jun felt sad at heart. He forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I slept too long this time."
"No, you'll get better faster if you rest more. It's normal to sleep a little longer." Shi Jin looked at his pale face, and forced himself to keep his expression down, and said, "I should say sorry. I asked you to be busy with these things just after waking up. Will you blame me for acting on my own? I didn't do what you arranged before."
"You did the right thing... cough, cough..."
Lian Jun suddenly started coughing, and while coughing, he began to vomit dry coughs. Probably because he was afraid that Shi Jin would be worried, he even lowered his body and hid under the camera so that Shi Jin would not see him.
Shi Jin was anxious and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
"It's okay... cough... don't worry, drink some water... it will be fine."
There was no picture in the camera, only sound. Then the sound of the ward door opening was heard, footsteps approached, and Uncle Long appeared in the picture. He turned his head to look at Shi Jin on the other side of the video and said, "Don't worry, Master Jun just needs to rest." Then he reached out and hung up the call.
The call interface disappeared, and Shi Jin stared blankly, his mind full of Lian Jun's suppressed cough and dry belching. He looked at Lian Jun's progress bar in his mind that suddenly rose to 600, and grabbed his hair in frustration.
Xiao Si comforted him dryly, "It's okay. Uncle Long is here. Baby will be fine..."
"I know." Shi Jin took a deep breath and sat up. Looking at the progress bar that was slowly going down again, he guessed that Uncle Long had given Lian Jun medicine. He wiped his face and said, "He just felt a little uncomfortable after waking up. I know. I'm fine."
As he said this, he got up, went out and found Fei Yujing who was reading in the room. He said, "The air on the ship is not good. I'm going to play mahjong on the deck today."
Fei Yujing looked at him and seemed to be holding back some emotions. He put down the book, picked up his coat and stood up.
...
In the ward, Lian Jun stopped coughing and retching under the comfort of the medicine. Uncle Long frowned and adjusted the speed of his drip, saying, "You are too weak now. Don't force yourself to chat with Shi Jin. Your body can't bear it."
Lian Jun's eyes dimmed, and he said softly, "I just want to hear his voice more...Uncle Long, how many days have I been in a coma this time?"
Uncle Long glanced at his expression and did not answer him. Instead, he bent down and took out a small box from the bedside cabinet, took out a ring wrapped with a red string from it, and handed it to him.
"What is this...?" Lian Jun was stunned, staring at the ring in a daze, and forced himself to sit up and take the ring.
“Don’t move.” Uncle Long held him down and didn’t let him get up. He stuffed the ring into his hand and replied, “This is a birthday present from Shi Jin to you. When the nurse was wiping your body, he was afraid that the water would get the red line on the ring wet and rot, so he took it off.” A
birthday present from Shi Jin… Lian Jun held the ring in front of his eyes, touched it gently, and asked, “Which finger?”
Uncle Long was puzzled: “What?”
“Which finger did Shi Jin put it on for me?” Lian Jun inquired, his eyes brighter than he had seen since the self-therapy.
Uncle Long felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him like this, and replied: "Ring finger, he gave it to you on your ring finger. This ring is the same shape as the one you gave to Shi Jin, and it is inlaid with blue diamonds. The red string is tied by Shi Jin himself, because the ring..."
"It's too big for me now." Lian Jun lowered his eyes and answered, and slowly put the ring on his ring finger. He stared at it for a while and suddenly laughed, "It fits just right."
After he finished speaking, a few vague words suddenly flashed through his mind, as if someone had sat by his bed, held his hand and said exactly the same words. He was stunned, frowned and carefully recalled this memory that seemed like a dream. The hand that was touching the ring unconsciously became clenched, and it became more and more forceful.
[If you can't get fat enough to fit this ring, then we're done. 】
【It's just right. 】
【Get well soon, you said you'd pick me up after the meeting, don't go back on your word. 】
That was a tone I had never heard before, a tone that sounded like he could cry at any moment... Lian Jun raised his hands to cover his eyes, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.
It's not a dream, it's not a dream...
Uncle Long frowned and called, "Master Jun."
"Uncle Long." Lian Jun pressed his eyes with his ring-wearing hand and said, "The most active period of the toxin has passed, right? Bring me some food, I want to eat." Uncle
Long frowned even more tightly and said, "But you were just here..."
"I just suddenly want to eat, even if it's just liquid food, go get some. Only when you are full can you have the strength to treat the disease, right?" Lian Jun interrupted him, put down his hand and looked at him, his eyes clear and serious, not to be refused.
The Lian Jun who didn't know how to listen to the doctor came back again.
Uncle Long should have been angry, but he opened his mouth and only said, "Okay."
The food was quickly delivered, just a small dish of rotten white porridge. Lian Jun was helped to lie on the bed, and first drank some warm water to moisten his throat and warm his stomach, then scooped some white porridge and put it into his mouth.
He would definitely feel nauseous and want to vomit.
Uncle Long thought about it and stood outside the ward and watched. Seeing Lian Jun really covering his mouth and vomiting, he sighed deeply.
It was still too forced, but... He looked at Lian Jun who forced himself to swallow the porridge after vomiting, and his expression softened - taking care of a patient with a strong will to live is much better than taking care of a patient who is lifeless because his lover is not around.
…
Shi Jin, who was in a bad mood, was a big winner at the poker table, winning a large sum of money from Fei Yujing. Then he waved his hand and gave a big red envelope to Gua Er and Li Jiuzheng, who were playing poker with him—the money he won from Fei Yujing. Finally, he went back to his room and played stand-alone mahjong with his tablet until two in the morning, until he was so sleepy that he closed his eyes and fell asleep. After
a restful night without dreams, at ten in the morning, Shi Jin got up with a fuss on his head, went to the bathroom to take a shower, wash his hair, blow dry his hair, and wipe his face, then came out to change into a custom-made striped casual suit, put on various noble accessories, and walked out of the door towards the restaurant with his hungry stomach.
The clothes he had worn in the past few days were all made by Lian Jun. He never had the chance to wear them, and he didn't like wearing them very much. Later, when he decided to go the route of the young master on the boat, he asked Gua Er to call Gua Liu and asked him to pack up the clothes and send them to him by helicopter. Unexpectedly, Gua Liu not only sent the clothes, but also packed up a full set of accessories, giving him more room to show off his skills.
It was a pity that he couldn't wear them to show Lian Jun. He had a hard time figuring out these accessories... He touched the decorative buckle on the pocket of his coat, and his mood unconsciously became depressed again.
"Xiao Jin."
After entering the restaurant, a voice that shouldn't have sounded here suddenly came from not far in front.
Shi Jin stopped and looked stupidly in the direction where the sound came from, then he lowered his head, covered his forehead and turned around, muttering to himself: "It seems that I haven't woken up yet, and I keep sleeping...ah, I'm so hungry..."
He was so hungry.
Gurgle, his stomach was protesting.
He stopped, looked at his stomach, blinked, and slowly turned his head to look in the direction where the "hallucination" appeared before.
Xiang Aoting, wearing a handsome black and blue Air Force uniform, was sitting at a table by the window with a glass of water in front of him. He was frowning and looking at this side, his hands on the table, his body leaning forward, as if he was ready to get up and chase after him. Shi
Jin's eyes widened little by little, then he turned around and ran to Xiang Aoting in two or three steps, stretched out his hand to pinch his face, and pulled.
"Xiao Jin, what are you doing?" Xiang Aoting asked with frowns, grabbed his hand and took it down, saving his face.
Hot, alive, it's real!
Shi Jin was in disbelief and asked, "Fourth brother, why are you here?"
"I was entrusted by Major General Liu to lead a team to help maintain order at the meeting." Xiang Aoting answered, looking him up and down, frowning even more tightly, and asked, "What's the matter with your outfit?"
In his impression, the only one in the Shi family who would dress so "ostentatiously" is Rong Zhouzhong. Shi Jin usually dresses casually, whatever is comfortable, never dyes or perms his hair, and doesn't wear accessories. He is clean and generous, very likable. Shi Jin is now wearing a high-quality striped suit. Although the color of the suit is low-key, the cut is different from ordinary formal suits. It has a hip-hop style that young people like, very... celebrity-like. Moreover, Shi Jin specially pulled his bangs back to reveal his forehead, and wore various accessories that matched his clothes. He looked more "grand" and radiant, like a young master who was going to attend a fashion banquet. Upon hearing this, Shi Jin
pulled his suit and said, "Ah, this, because the leaders of other organizations will be coming today, so I specially changed into a slightly more low-key set of clothes." "
Slightly more low-key..." Xiang Aoting looked at the various accessories on him and began to wonder if he had a misunderstanding of the definition of the word "low-key".
"But fourth brother, you look more handsome in an Air Force uniform than in an Army uniform!" Shi Jin became excited again. He forcibly pulled Xiang Aoting to stand up, and circled around him like a puppy. He reached out and touched his epaulettes, and asked with bright eyes, "Fourth brother, did you come here by plane? When did you come?"
"I arrived at midnight yesterday. I was afraid you were asleep, so I didn't go to see you." Xiang Aoting replied. Seeing him like this, a smile appeared on his face, and he asked, "Do you want to go and take a look?"
What to see, an airplane?
Shi Jin's eyes lit up, and he even forgot to eat breakfast. He said excitedly, "Let's take a look! Can you take me flying around? I haven't seen anyone flying a plane up close!"
"Sure, but only once."
"Fourth brother, you're awesome!" Shi Jin shouted happily and wanted to leave.
Xiang Aoting quickly reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Eat something first. You will feel uncomfortable flying on an empty stomach." Shi Jin
rushed to the restaurant to order food, ordered two buns and a bottle of yogurt, and ran to Xiang Aoting while eating. He pulled him out, his face full of impatience. Xiang Aoting had no choice but to let him go.
Click. Li Jiuzheng,
who was sitting opposite Xiang Aoting but had been ignored by Shi Jin, drank the drink in one gulp, picked up a piece of ice from the cup and stuffed it into his mouth, then crushed it in one bite.
"Not bad teeth." Fei Yujing, who was sitting next to him and was also ignored by Shi Jin, commented lightly.
Li Jiuzheng frowned and picked up a fork to poke the grapes on the fruit platter.
Gua Er looked at the two brothers who seemed to be surrounded by a cold wind, twitched his lips, turned around and chased the direction Shi Jin left.
...
The official ship was very large, and the plane driven by Xiang Aoting was parked on the spacious rear deck of the ship. It was a military helicopter that was much larger than an ordinary helicopter. It was dark green in color and printed with numbers and military flags.
"I thought it would be a fighter." Shi Jin was a little disappointed.
Xiang Aoting opened the cockpit of the helicopter and said, "Fighters cannot be driven out casually or carry people. It is the same for sitting in this. Come here, I will help you put on the helmet and equipment."
How could this be the same... Shi Jin sighed with regret, but when he thought that he could watch Xiang Aoting fly the plane up close, he quickly became excited and obediently moved over to let him put on the equipment.
Unlike ordinary helicopters, armed helicopters only have two seats inside, arranged in a staircase pattern. Xiang Aoting arranged Shi Jin to sit in the back seat, fastened his seat belt for him, then sat in the front, closed the cabin door, put on the safety equipment, and said, "Don't move around. If you feel uncomfortable, tell me immediately and I'll fly back and land." Shi Jin hurriedly
responded with a "yes", his hands were shaking with excitement - it was a plane, it was really a plane, Xiang Aoting could actually fly it!
With Xiang Aoting's skilled operation, the instrument panel of the plane lit up, the sound of the wings rotating came through the cabin wall, and then after a slight shake, the feeling of floating rose, the plane left the ground, and the field of vision rose a little bit. Damn
! It's flying! It's really flying! Shi Jin's
eyes widened with excitement. He first looked at the back of Xiang Aoting's helmet, then at the gradually approaching sky and the gradually shrinking ship. He was so excited that he wanted to roar to the sky three times.
"Hold on, we're going to speed up."
Xiang Aoting's voice came, and then the plane gradually rose higher and approached the sky. After reaching a certain height, it stopped and took off, and began to circle around the sea. Shi Jin looked down through the monitoring screen and saw that next to the huge official ship, the destroyed ship was quietly docked. In the outer area, there were more than a dozen large and small ships slowly adjusting their positions - they were the ships of other small and medium-sized organizations that arrived this morning.
"This view is amazing." Shi Jin couldn't help but exclaimed.
Xiang Aoting raised his lips and said, "I'll take you to see a farther place."
The plane rose again and flew towards a farther place. Shi Jin looked at the vast sky and the endless sea, and felt his mind open up and refreshed.
"A ship is coming, it's a big ship." Xiang Aoting suddenly spoke. Shi
Jin came back to his senses from his excitement and looked forward. With the help of the Clairvoyance buff, he saw a large ship approaching the designated sea area at a steady speed.
"It should be a ship of a large organization." He said, not too surprised, "Today is the last day of the assembly, and most of the ships of the organizations will be here today."
"Let's go and have a look." Xiang Aoting flew over there for a while, stopped for a while at a height where he could see the ship clearly, and then flew in another direction. Shi
Jin couldn't help laughing out loud. After getting closer, he used the Clairvoyance buff to find that the ship below was actually Wolf Spider's, and Lu Shan was standing on the deck, looking up at this side, holding a satellite phone in her hand, and her mouth clearly said the two words "Fuck".
He quickly turned up his hearing and heard Lu Shan's voice coming over: "What the hell... Meng Qing, there are armed helicopters flying overhead here, do you have any over there? What are the officials doing? Patrol? Surveillance?"
Meng Qing? The leader of the Meridian Gate?
Shi Jin's heart moved and he wanted to listen to Lu Shan's words more carefully, but the distance between the plane and the Wolf Spider ship had already increased, and he could no longer distinguish the sounds. Xiang Aoting
heard his laughter and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shi Jin came back to his senses and quickly collected his thoughts and replied, "Nothing, I just think that looking down from above, those ships are like toys, which are fun."
Like toys... What a childish answer. Xiang Aoting smiled, accelerated the speed of the helicopter, and flew forward.
After that, the two of them saw other ships of organizations approaching the official ship. They approached each one to take a look, teased them and ran away, which was very disgusting. After more than an hour, the circle mentioned by Xiang Aoting was finally completed, and the two flew back to the official ship to land.
At this time, several armed helicopters appeared on the deck. There was a man in air force uniform standing next to each helicopter. Liu Zhenjun also appeared on the deck, looking through a document.
Xiang Aoting got off the plane first, and then put Shi Jin down.
Liu Zhenjun immediately put down the information and came over, asking, "Colonel Xiang, how was the test flight?"
"Not bad." Xiang Aoting replied, turned his head to look at his team members, counted the number of people, and after confirming that the number was correct, he looked at Liu Zhenjun again and asked, "Why is the major general here? Is there something wrong?"
Of course there was something. Liu Zhenjun cast his gaze on Shi Jin and asked, "Mr. Shi, why are you on Colonel Xiang's plane?"
Before Shi Jin could say anything, Xiang Aoting explained for him, "I invited him. The test flight was too boring, and it's nice to have someone to talk to to relieve boredom."
Talk to relieve boredom?
The team members brought by Xiang Aoting changed their expressions upon hearing this, and all turned their heads to look at
Shi Jin, their eyes were gossipy and ambiguous - the captain took the initiative to invite... Tsk tsk tsk... Shi Jin was frightened by being looked at, turned his head to look at them, and saw from the corner of his eye that a ship that was obviously from a large organization was docking here, his heart moved, deliberately raised his hand to put on Xiang Aoting's shoulder, raised his voice and said: "Fourth brother, I'm hungry, it's time to have lunch."
"Mr. Shi." Liu Zhenjun's eyes were a little dark, and he called Shi Jin to remind him. Although he heard Zhang Zhuoyuan mention that the deputy leader sent by the Extermination this year was a young brat who had just reached adulthood with a complicated background and was completely out of tune, he made some preparations in his heart, but he didn't expect this brat to be so fart.
He didn't even look at the situation and how many people were watching. The deputy leader of a violent organization actually took the initiative to get close to the general officer of the Air Force. How could this be? Although I heard that this deputy leader and Colonel Xiang are relatives... it's more troublesome if they are relatives! The deputy leader of a violent organization and an Air Force general are relatives... God, I'm going crazy. Why did the Air Force let Colonel Xiang come over? My head hurts.
When Shi Jin heard the call, he turned his head to look at him and invited him warmly: "Major General Liu, are you hungry too? Then come along, and call Director Zhang as well, and let's have a good rub."
Rub, rub... Liu Zhenjun's forehead veins bulged, and he almost couldn't help but scold him like a disobedient recruit. He lowered his voice and reminded him: "Mr. Shi, I remember that you are a very good student of the police academy. Maybe your style of doing things... can be more stable." So don't be so unreasonable!
Shi Jin immediately misinterpreted his meaning, retracted his hand, stood at attention, saluted Liu Zhenjun in a standard manner, and said loudly: "Yes, Major General! The students will remember your teachings!"
All the people around who heard this looked over, watching Shi Jin's standard salute, their eyes were bigger than copper bells.
Liu Zhenjun felt like he was going to have a myocardial infarction. He stretched out his hand to suppress Shi Jin's salute, and slowly squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "Mr. Shi, you represent destruction here. Please forget your identity as a police academy student for the time being. Thank you for your cooperation."
What is more terrifying than the fact that the deputy leader of a violent organization and an air force general are relatives is that the deputy leader of a violent organization is actually a legitimate police academy student! Is Shi Jin really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? What is the purpose of Lian Jun sending such a person to attend the meeting!
"Major General, why are you in such a hurry? Everyone has long known that Mie and the official are allies. I am an important link between the official and Mie. You can relax a little." Shi Jin suddenly reached out and patted Liu Zhenjun's shoulder gently in the gesture of a collaborator. His finger pointed obscurely at the large ship that had already stopped diagonally behind him, and then gestured to Xiang Aoting and said, "Fourth brother, let's go and have dinner. After dinner, I will teach you how to play mahjong."
Xiang Aoting responded and put down his helmet.
Shi Jin also greeted Xiang Aoting's team members and said with a smile, "You guys come too. Just now, fourth brother praised you during the test flight. I am very curious about your combat experience."
The captain actually praised others? Wait, fourth brother?
Xiang Aoting's team members were all surprised. They looked at Xiang Aoting, who was obviously in a good mood and had softened his tone, and then looked at Shi Jin. They made some calculations in their minds. Seeing that Xiang Aoting had no intention of objecting, they quickly accepted Shi Jin's invitation and followed him with a curious heart.
Liu Zhenjun was the only one left on the rear deck. Liu Zhenjun frowned as he watched Shi Jin and Xiang Aoting leave. He turned his head to look at the silver ship belonging to Qianye behind him, and recalled the posture of Shi Jin when he spoke just now. He was thoughtful - this Shi Jin didn't seem to be as unreliable as Zhang Zhuoyuan said.
Was it intentional?
He walked towards the direction Shi Jin left, his wrinkled brows slowly relaxed - that's right, a person who is not in tune with the situation can't get the first place in the police academy or the first place in the military training.
