After finishing their business, the two got out of the car.
Meng Sheng warned again, "Your hands must not touch water. Remember to avoid it when you take a bath.
Also, the anesthetic should be wearing off soon. If it hurts too much, remember to take painkillers. The doctor said that the first three days are the peak period of infection. Also, remember to clean and disinfect the wound. If you have any questions, you can call me. "
"Um."
Pei Sui's gaze fell impartially on her face again, and after a few breaths, he responded indifferently.
Then I remembered to ask, "How are you going to get to the art gallery tomorrow morning?"
"Let's take a taxi. It's not far."
Meng Sheng didn't look at him. After entering the elevator, he slightly raised his head and glanced at the numbers jumping above the elevator door.
It was not until the elevator stopped on the 12th floor that she turned her head and met his deep and cold eyes. The moment their eyes met, she seemed to catch a deep whirlpool in them.
She paused, then smiled slowly, "I'm going in. You must remember the wound on your arm and be careful of infection."
Pei Sui nodded slightly, "Well, go to bed early, good night."
"Okay, you too."
The elevator door slowly closed, and Meng Sheng slowly exhaled the breath that was stuck in his throat.
When Pei Sui returned home, he received a call from Captain Chen, who asked him about his injuries and wanted to know more about the situation.
"That guy is a veteran. He knows how to evade surveillance. We tracked him for two streets but he was lost. Now we have to rely on your client Meng Sheng to provide clues."
"I asked her. You can check her ex-husband, Shang Boyu."
Pei Sui spoke in a faint voice and walked towards the bedroom.
Captain Chen on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, "Ex-husband? Is this... an attempted murder of love?"
Pei Sui pulled the corners of his lips leisurely, his voice hinting at a hint of joking, "How to characterize the case is up to you police officers, we only provide clues."
Captain Chen suffered a setback.
He sighed and said, "I am just discussing this with you. It's so rude. However, I need to find your client tomorrow to take a statement and conduct an investigation. When is convenient?"
Pei Sui ignored the first half of his sentence and said, "I'm going to the west of the city tomorrow morning. Call her and make an appointment."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Pei Sui walked into the bathroom. His arm was injured, so he couldn't take a bath very well.
At four o'clock in the morning, everything is quiet.
The silver hook hanging on the green curtain was so thin that it was transparent, but it was like a blunt knife, slowly cutting open the belly of the night and penetrating into the darkness.
Pei Sui slowly opened his eyes, and there was darkness in them.
He just felt hot and uncomfortable all over, and sat up in a daze.
He accidentally pulled at the wound, causing him to frown slightly.
The anesthetic had almost worn off after I came back, and the pain was much more obvious.
He first looked at the time, then raised his hand to touch his burning forehead.
I have a fever.
His brows were furrowed tighter and tighter. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been sick twice, so this time he was being pretentious.
But after being stabbed, I developed a fever at night.
He pulled the corner of his lips, then remembered that there was no antipyretic medicine at home, so he went out and looked for the medicine he brought back from the hospital today.
There is no fever-reducing medicine.
He looked at the number marked with "Meng Sheng" in the address book and hesitated for about ten minutes without dialing it.
He is a man who is usually vigorous and decisive in the legal circle, but now hesitant when facing the person he likes.
A few minutes later, he called anyway.
Unexpectedly, the call was picked up quickly.
"Hello?"
A clear and gentle voice came from the microphone. He paused and asked, "Did I wake you up?"
"No, I'm awake." Meng Sheng said.
"Why are you up so early?"
"I didn't sleep well. I was half asleep and half awake. I woke up after having a dream." Meng Sheng raised his hand and pressed his forehead.
Perhaps what happened tonight brought out her inner worries and anxieties, and she slept more miserably that night than the night she had a hangover.
I woke up from my dream at less than four o'clock.
She couldn't quite remember what she dreamed about, but it was very confusing and heavy.
This feeling is very strange, a feeling that is hard to describe.
I didn’t come back early last night, and I didn’t go to bed early, but I didn’t feel sleepy after waking up.
Just as he was leaning against the head of the bed in a daze, letting his thoughts wander, Pei Sui's phone rang at this point.
She was very surprised.
But he soon thought of the injury on his arm, thinking something had gone wrong, and without caring about being shocked any longer, he immediately picked up the phone.
She gave a rather general reason and asked him, "What about you? Why are you so early?"
Pei Sui raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. Perhaps because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse, not as cold and indifferent as usual.
"I have a fever."
"Fever?" Meng Sheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Did you take your temperature? How high is it?"
"No, that's why I wanted to ask if you have a thermometer and fever-reducing medicine."
"Yes, I'll go look for it, wait for me."
"Well, no rush, take your time."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Sheng threw back the quilt, got out of bed and left the room.
The habit of preparing common items in the medicine box was probably something she learned from Xu Li when she was young.
This medicine box was prepared after she moved to the left bank courtyard.
The box is not big, but it contains everything.
Cold medicine and thermometers are the most common items.
She picked out two suitable medicines, then took a thermometer, changed her clothes, washed up briefly, and went to the 15th floor.
Come to think of it, this is not the first time I have come to Pei Sui's house.
However, the last time she came, she was drunk and her vision was blurry. Even if she had read some of the layouts, she couldn't remember them the next day.
As I walked out of the elevator, a cool and refreshing atmosphere greeted me.
Instead, it slowly overlapped with the vague fragments that were imprinted in her mind that night.
She walked to the door and was about to raise her hand to ring the doorbell when the door opened from the inside.
Pei Sui was wearing a black round-neck home suit, and there was an indisputable turbidity in his deep eyes.
His voice was so hoarse that it seemed to have rolled through gravel. "Thank you for the long trip."
Perhaps it was because of the fever, his usually cold, dignified and somewhat unapproachable face now had a hint of warmth, as if there was a touch of rouge at the corners of his eyes.
His always well-groomed black hair now lazily and comfortably covered his full forehead.
A bit of a sickly feeling.
Meng Sheng was stunned for a moment, and shook off the inappropriate thoughts in his mind.
He asked hurriedly, "How are you? Is it serious? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's okay, not for now."
Pei Sui's thin lips moved, "Come in first."
"Um."
Meng Sheng walked in and took a quick look at the style of the entire house.
I thought, I don’t even need to look at the person, I can guess this is his house just by looking at the decoration.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he swung the thermometer and handed it to him, "Take your temperature first and see how high it is."
Pei Sui took it from her, glanced at her raised red lips, and asked in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
