Chapter 266: Escape from School Rules
Zhang Songyang decided to stay in Sixiang Mansion.
In the next few days, he will personally observe Lin Jiu.
Of course, it was impossible for Zhang Songyang to hide his purpose from Lin Jiu. From the very beginning, they had no intention of hiding it, and Lin Jiu did not say anything about it.
It has been several years since Zhang Songyang last observed Lin Jiu at such a close distance.
Six years is neither short nor long. Zhang Songyang couldn't help but sigh that time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, Lin Jiu has become an adult. In a few months, he will be 20 years old.
He vaguely remembered that when he first met Lin Jiu, what impressed him most was his eyes.
Even today, when Zhang Songyang looks directly into those eyes, he still feels the same way he did back then—the feeling of being seen through.
"Doctor Zhang, is it really okay for you not to go back to the hospital? What about the other patients?" Lin Jiu asked vaguely, holding a lollipop in his mouth and a new domestic game console in his hand.
Hearing this, Zhang Songyang came back to his senses and was a little amused: "I was only away for a few days. It's not like I haven't happened before."
Although Zhang Songyang is busy at work, he still has some holidays.
The reason why Lin Jiu had the impression that Zhang Songyang worked all year round was entirely because he had given up some of his rest time because of his patient Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu nodded after hearing this.
Of course he knew it was okay.
"Then what were you thinking about just now?" This is what Lin Jiu really wanted to ask.
Zhang Songyang didn't hide it, "It's just a feeling. In the blink of an eye, I have known you for six years."
The tone of his voice was as if he was talking to an old friend. Lin Jiu glanced at him and casually corrected him, "It was six years and four months."
Zhang Songyang was stunned. Although he knew that it would be easy for Lin Jiu's brain to calculate this data within one second, he was still stunned.
"You remember it very clearly." He laughed.
Lin Jiu curled his lips, thinking to himself, "What's so difficult about this?" Thinking this way, he glanced at the time and said, "Six years, four months, seven hours, and four minutes."
The minute changes at this moment.
Lin Jiu added: "Forty-four seconds."
Zhang Songyang was really surprised this time. He didn't expect that Lin Jiu actually knew the minutes and seconds.
As if he had guessed what he was thinking, Lin Jiu raised his chin proudly and said, "I checked the time before I left."
On the day when Zhang Songyang went to the Fourth Hospital to see him for the first time, he deliberately looked at the time before going out for free activities, and kept counting the time in his mind until Zhang Songyang appeared in front of him.
This is why Lin Jiu, who doesn't have a watch or a mobile phone, knows the time, even to the second.
Obviously, for Lin Jiu at that time, Zhang Songyang's appearance only aroused his curiosity.
However, if Zhang Songyang had chosen to give up treatment midway, like other doctors, or had not intended to work at the Fourth Hospital from the beginning, Lin Jiu probably would not have remembered the time until now.
"Everyone said you were amazing back then," Lin Jiu said, biting his lollipop as the memory of that time emerged clearly in his mind. "You were praised so highly that I almost thought you could cure me."
Zhang Songyang smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
It can’t be cured. It can’t be cured.
To put it bluntly, Lin Jiu is destined to be locked up for the rest of his life.
But he was very good at restraint, so he had a high degree of freedom in the Fourth Hospital that other patients did not have, and the emergence of the rule ghost story allowed him to escape from that "cage".
"Have you ever thought about being cured?" Zhang Songyang asked curiously, and then immediately added, "I mean, at that time."
Lin Jiumiao replied: "No."
Zhang Songyang was not surprised by this answer and nodded twice calmly.
"If you weren't a special patient like me, with your ability, you would have been discharged from the hospital with stable condition for several years." Lin Jiu said casually.
Even if the patients of the same period as him did not meet the discharge criteria, their conditions had stabilized considerably under Zhang Songyang's treatment. As for Lin Jiu, although his progress could not be said to be stagnant, he had not made much progress either.
But Lin Jiu still recognized Zhang Songyang's ability. This kid was indeed quite capable.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiu glanced at him again.
Meeting Zhang Songyang's smiling eyes, he withdrew his gaze and secretly curled his lips.
In six years, the young man has become mature and steady.
At 30, one can hardly see the traces of time, only the change in temperament. However, Lin Jiu couldn't help but say, "I suddenly realized that you seem to have aged, Doctor Zhang."
Zhang Songyang: ...
"I'm still young," he said.
"I know." Lin Jiu said, "But your smile is so kind. I think our relationship is pretty good now. A father-son relationship with a six-year age gap shouldn't exist, Doctor Zhang."
Zhang Songyang:......
You kid.
As if sensing Zhang Songyang's "anger", Lin Jiu suddenly put down the game console, looked at him, and smiled provocatively.
"laugh."
After laughing, Lin Jiu stood up and ran to the second floor quickly.
Zhang Songyang looked at the other person's "escaping" back, the corner of his mouth twitched, and then he shook his head with a helpless smile.
*
The four-day rest period ended quickly, and on the last day, Zhang Songyang also announced the final examination results after Lin Jiu entered the game.
It's bad news.
It got worse.
Moreover, Lin Jiu's condition worsened without him realizing it.
If it was just a normal deterioration, Lin Jiu could still control himself. He only needed to satisfy the other party's need for "external help" and he could still behave as usual.
But it's not a normal deterioration.
The good news is, there are no offensive tendencies yet.
However, this is only temporary good news.
Therefore, Zhang Songyang decided to stay in Sixiang Mansion for the time being. After all, he still needed to observe Lin Jiu's condition after the end of this copy.
The three people sitting in the living room unconsciously turned their eyes to the TV screen.
The eighteenth strange talk about rules has begun.
【Welcome player Lin Jiu to enter the game】

Lin Jiu opened his eyes, glanced at the initial prompt of the game system, and subconsciously looked around.
What comes into view is the dim school corridor.
There was no one around.
Just when Lin Jiu was confused, the game system appeared again.
