Incineration
"I won't be disfigured, will I?" Li Ziyang looked at himself in the mirror for the whole morning. The white cloth around his neck always made him worried.
Jiang Li had long been fed up with his repeated questions. He rolled his eyes at him and said indifferently, "No."
Li Ziyang put down the mirror and sat next to him, "Hey, the wound on your hand..."
When changing the dressing, I happened to see Jiang Li's injury. A bright red wound fell on the upper arm that was already full of scars, making the new wound look so inconspicuous.
Jiang Li pulled down his sleeves and said, "I fell."
Li Ziyang knew he was lying. Those scars were all one by one, so how could they possibly be from a fall? He had no interest in exploring other people's pain, but this was Jiang Li, someone he loved, so he had to. Besides, after this incident, he liked Jiang Li even more. What a cool guy! He could handle things, and he even let him run first. I'm completely captivated!
Jiang Li looked straight ahead and pushed away the face that was very close to him, "Don't stare at me."
If he hadn't had a leg injury, he would have run away long ago. Of course, he felt even more upset when he thought that the injury was caused by the person next to him.
"You've been watching for the whole morning. If that person wanted to come, he would have come earlier." Ever since he knew that Jiang Li was living in that policeman's house, Li Ziyang spoke sourly, and he gritted his teeth when he mentioned Chen An.
Jiang Li ignored him. He was staring at the door not only waiting for someone, but also daydreaming about something.
A third party, lurking in the shadows, wanted him dead, and the terrifying thing was that he had no clue what was going on. He'd gotten a bit carried away over the past three months, completely ignoring any of the organization's affairs. Not only that, he didn't even know what was going on inside, leaving him in a very passive position.
In addition to worrying about his own safety, he also has to worry about whether Chen An will discover his special identity. Once this person is exposed to the police's sight and the police catch this clue, it will be easy to figure out his identity. At that time, let alone staying with Chen An, it is a foregone conclusion that they will tear their faces and kill each other.
So he had to find this person before the police.
"Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Li Ziyang saw that the injection of the medicine was finished and went out to call the nurse. When he came back, he was still in a daze.
Jiang Li collected his thoughts and asked, "Where's your brother?"
Li Ziyang didn't want to mention him, so he said vaguely, "Sent him back to school."
"You two have a bad relationship?"
Jiang Li came to the conclusion easily.
Li Ziyang grinned, "Why, are you interested in me?"
Jiang Li showed a disgusted expression, "Can you stop being so disgusting?"
"Wow~ This is the first time I hear you swear." Li Ziyang felt it was very fresh.
Jiang Li suspected that this man had been kidnapped and his second personality had been triggered. Why did he become so crazy after returning? In order to avoid becoming a madman himself, Jiang Li decided to stay away from him, even if he had to limp.
"Let me help you." Li Ziyang caught up with him. "I didn't expect you could walk so fast even though you're lame. You must be incredibly talented!"
Listening to him talk was as uncomfortable as eating shit. Jiang Li's face turned pale. "Can you speak? Whose fault is it that I'm like this today?"
"Mine, mine." Li Ziyang stood at attention and said righteously, "Don't worry, I will definitely be responsible for you!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the corridor looked over, and Jiang Li wished he could kill him right then and there.
"He doesn't need you to be responsible yet."
The next second, Li Ziyang was pushed away, and Chen An held him in his arms and supported him.
The police were all in Chu Tong's ward next door. The guy was frightened and was making a lot of noise in the ward. A group of nurses rushed into the ward to give him a sedative.
Chen An helped Jiang Li sit on a chair in the corridor, squatted down and rolled up his trouser legs. As soon as he lifted the trouser legs, the smell of medicine hit him in the face, and then the purple scars were exposed in front of him, covering his entire knee.
It was also the first time that Li Ziyang saw his knee, and he was shocked by the strength he used. No, is he that strong?
People were coming and going in the corridor. Jiang Li took the initiative to lower his trouser legs and said nonchalantly, "It's not even a scratch, nothing to see."
But when he saw the pain in Chen An's eyes, he suddenly regretted not playing the victim anymore, as this would make him feel more distressed and make him appear particularly important.
"Officer Chen?"
A female voice pulled them all back. Jiang Li looked at her, and then she spoke to him.
"Jiang Li is here too. Are you hurt? You look unwell." After saying that, Fu Chunzi walked over and wanted to touch his face, but Jiang Li dodged him.
The last time they met was on the morning of the second day after Fu Chunzi was murdered. Jiang Li was there when Chen An questioned her and they exchanged a few words, but she felt that they were not familiar enough to let her touch her face.
Fu Chunzi quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I treat you like my younger brother. I also send interns from my group to the hospital the same way when they get sick. I'm really sorry for offending you."
"Miss Fu came to the hospital..."
Fu Chunzi raised the report in his hand and said, "I'll review it."
"Oh, nothing serious, right?"
Fu Chunzi smiled and said, "No, I can resume broadcasting in two days."
The two chatted briefly, and then Fu Chunzi left. It was already lunchtime, and Li Ziyang had wanted to eat with them, but Li Ziyin came to the hospital to pick him up, saying he had taken a leave of absence from school to take care of him. The two immediately started arguing at the door.
"I don't need you to take care of me! Just study hard!"
"No, you were kidnapped this time, what about next time?"
"No, you can't just expect me to order well and next time."
"No matter what, I've already taken the leave. I'll be with you during this time."
Li Ziyan took a tough stance and finally took the man away.
Jiang Li's wound needed to be bandaged every few hours. When I looked at the wound yesterday, I thought it was just a small cut, after all, there wasn't much bleeding. Today, when I removed the gauze, I found that it had been stitched, like a coiled centipede.
He dipped a cotton swab in the ointment and applied it. It felt cool and painless, and he didn't even frown. Before he left, injuries were commonplace, and he was so used to the pain that he didn't care whether it hurt or not. However, the other person's gaze seemed to have substance. As he applied the ointment intently, it fell on the wound, causing a dense and itchy tingle.
It took him more than ten minutes to apply medicine on a short wound. After wiping it, he could even see sweat on the other person's forehead. Chen An was more nervous than him.
The person who was concentrating on wrapping the gauze suddenly heard a laugh. How could such a heartless person laugh?
"Let's see if you dare to take the lead next time."
"How could I?" Jiang Li said with an innocent face.
Chen An didn't even look at him, but changed the bottle of medicine and prepared to wipe his legs.
The other person suddenly came over and said with a smile: "Why, are you feeling sorry for me?"
Seeing his playful smile, Chen An got angry and said, "Let Li Ziyang feel sorry for you, otherwise you will get hurt saving him in vain."
After that, the living room fell silent.
He himself felt that what he said was nonsensical, but he didn't know why he blurted it out.
Chen An didn't stop moving his hands, circling the bruise with his palm dipped in medicine, when he suddenly heard what the other party said.
"I'm not doing this for him, I'm doing this for you."
Chen An paused.
"I don't want Cheng Tongguang to escape. Li Ziyang will only be a burden to me. He has a bomb, so it's best for me to be a hostage. I just need to hold you over here, and then we can..."
Jiang Li omitted the rest of the words, but he understood the metaphor.
"Don't do this next time. When you have a gun, we can get together again."
It was meant to be an encouraging remark, but Jiang Li's mood became even worse than before.
It would take at least three or four years for him to have his own gun. By then, would they still be like they are now?
Chen An nudged his head and said, "What's wrong? You look unhappy."
Jiang Li weighed his words carefully, "If I want everything, will it seem too greedy?"
Chen An chuckled and said, "Aren't people just greedy? They want everything, that's what makes them human."
"You're not that old, why do you always think about these things?"
Jiang Li leaned back, supporting himself on the sofa with his uninjured hand. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that if you get married, I'll have nothing."
"Why are you talking about marriage again?" he said helplessly. "Besides, I'm not married. I don't even have a girlfriend. If this trend continues, I probably won't be able to get married."
Jiang Li straightened up after hearing this and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Then how about I marry you?"
Chen An's expression froze for a moment.
Jiang Li had guessed his reaction and used laughter to ease the awkwardness, "Hahahaha, just kidding, I won't marry someone who doesn't like me!"
He laughed, but Chen An couldn't laugh.
Because when he said he was getting married, Chen An's first reaction was that it was inconvenient for the police to issue a marriage certificate abroad!
This thought made him re-examine their relationship. From soft-hearted sympathy to heartache and indulgence, what kind of feelings did he have towards Jiang Li?
"If I get married, I will definitely find someone who loves me more than I love him. You obviously don't meet this condition. They say that if you can't find a partner in college, you will definitely not find one later, so I must have a relationship during college. Li Ziyang sent me an invitation to a club two days ago. You can always meet people if you start socializing. I don't believe that I can't find someone who likes me!" Jiang Li was immersed in his own beautiful imagination and said everything unknowingly.
"What do you think?" Jiang Li looked very interested.
Chen An forced a smile and said, "As long as you're happy."
