The bright winter sunshine shines on the wool carpet in front of the window, warm and refreshing.
Jian Jing collapsed on the bed, feeling so sore all over, as if she had been run over by a car - to some extent, it was true.
She curled up in the quilt and didn't want to move.
The knight was not at home, and no one urged her to get up. As she squinted, her consciousness slowly became confused again.
Her parents must be very sad to know that she was dead? Would they blame her for being stubborn? Of course they would. They hoped that she would live an ordinary and stable life, not take risks, and not be unique.
But she did such a dangerous thing.
Alas, the matter is done, and it is meaningless to think about these things now.
Maybe one day in the future, she will regret her choice, but at this moment, Jian Jing cannot deceive herself, she really loves this world more.
If only her parents were here... Oh, no, forget it.
This is also good.
Her parents seek stability, so they stay in the original world, and she seeks the pleasure of reasoning in this world. Although they can't meet, they are both in their own place.
While she was daydreaming, the phone rang.
She picked up the phone: "Hello."
"Teacher Jian? This is Yunyun." The sun was shining brightly in the ward and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant. Ji Yunyun sniffed and tried her best to suppress her excitement. "I, I want to tell you that my brother is awake."
Jian blinked: "Awake?"
"Yes, he has been transferred to the general ward." Ji Yunyun asked cautiously, "Do you want to say a few words to him?"
"Okay."
Ji Yunyun handed the phone to Ji Feng.
"Teacher Jian." His voice was the same as usual, just a little softer. "I heard everything. Thank you."
Jian Jing: "Ha."
She sneered and sat up suddenly. Her waist and legs were no longer sore. "You survived? Very good, you bastard, I tell you, we are no longer friends!!"
Ji Feng's temperature was still a little high, and his mind was fuzzy. He subconsciously said, "I didn't offend you."
"Yes, you didn't offend me, I offended you, okay?" Jian Jing didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, "Goodbye!"
Ji Feng: "Wait..."
Before he could finish his words, there was a busy tone. He woke up a little and called back quickly, but was blocked. He looked at WeChat again and a small red dot popped up when he sent a message.
"Alas." Ji Feng lay down.
"Brother?"
"It's okay." He said, "I'll take a nap. If someone comes, you can take care of the food. Don't accept the red envelopes. It's not easy for everyone."
Ji Yunyun nodded: "I know." She hesitated and asked, "What about the money that Teacher Jian paid for before? Should I transfer it to her?"
Ji Feng waved his hands.
She: "???"
"Don't worry about it." He said lazily, "I will pay it back."
Ji Yunyun ruthlessly exposed: "She just blocked you."
"It's okay." She waited until he woke up before blocking him, which was very face-saving.
Of course, it's not that easy to add him back. But the biggest difficulties have been overcome, and everything will be fine in the future.
Ji Feng turned his head and looked out the window.
The little grandson in the bed next to him just started kindergarten. He brought a lot of window decorations yesterday, and one was pasted on each window, with a bright red Spring Festival atmosphere.
Try to be discharged from the hospital on New Year's Eve and go home for the New Year.
He thought, with a faint smile on his lips.
——On
the other side, Jian Jing called Kang Mucheng and asked him: "Where are you?"
Kang Mucheng: "The airport."
She: "I want to go to Egypt, too."
Kang Mucheng: "..."
She: "I want to go, too, take me with you."
"Then pack your things and come over." He sighed, "Waiting for you." Jian Jing's
face suddenly lit up with joy, and she quickly got up to pack her luggage.
Bring a few clothes, if they are not enough, buy them locally. If you are too lazy to pack skin care products, you can just go back to the duty-free shop and buy them all. You have to bring all the sunscreen products, otherwise you will be several shades darker when you come back.
She packed them randomly, and in the end there was only a 24-inch suitcase.
Unbelievable, she must have forgotten something.
But Jian Jing was too lazy to think about it, so she picked up the suitcase and went downstairs directly.
It's not strenuous at all. She can even run 800 meters while holding it. It has to be said that a good body is so important. If she were in her current state in the copy, Zhang Feng and Wang Tan would not be able to walk out of the apartment. She
has to exercise diligently in the future to keep it up.
She hummed a song and got into her car. The scent of the car aromatherapy was her favorite orange scent.
Speeding up and racing, it took thirty minutes to arrive at the VIP lounge of the airport.
"Xiao Jingjing." Si Yingjie opened his arms to welcome her, "Long time no see."
Jian Jing smiled and hugged him: "Brother Yingjie."
Kang Mucheng handed her a cup of hot coffee and asked with concern: "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
"No reason." She shrugged, "I suddenly want to go, don't you want to take me with you?"
Kang Mucheng shook his head: "No, I want you to go."
She smiled.
"What did you have for breakfast?" he asked.
"Nothing." Jian Jing glanced at the dining table and picked up a sandwich. "I just woke up."
"Then don't drink coffee." Kang Mucheng took the cup from her hand and replaced it with a cup of hot soy milk. "Do you want to ask them for a bowl of noodles? Wontons?" Jian
Jing turned her head: "When do you take off?"
"Anytime, just waiting for you." Si Yingjie said.
She said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go."
The route had been applied for a long time, and although it was delayed for a while, they were soon allowed to take off.
After the plane was stable, President Kang immediately prepared to take a nap: "It doesn't matter if it disturbs you young people from chatting."
Without the presence of elders, Jian Jing couldn't wait to start gossiping: "Brother Yingjie, where is your new girlfriend?"
Si Yingjie: "We broke up."
Jian Jing: "Why?"
"I'm not attracted to her anymore." Si Yingjie said, "I have high requirements for feelings."
She was curious: "What feelings?"
He thought for a moment and admitted regretfully: "First of all, she has to be beautiful."
It's a common problem among men, but it's understandable, and it's the same for women. Jian Jing nodded, and suddenly became curious: "Then do you think I'm pretty?"
Si Yingjie: "Uh..."
Jian Jing narrowed her eyes and said dangerously: "It's strange to say, we are so familiar with each other, didn't Brother Yingjie consider me?"
Si Yingjie's face flashed with horror: "Xiao Jing, I always treat you as my sister." He organized his words, "You should find a boy of similar age to play with. Someone like me who is a generation older than you can't do it."
Jian Jing held her chin and smiled at him: "Really?"
Si Yingjie couldn't hold it anymore, and pushed Kang Mucheng: "Hurry up and take care of her."
Kang Mucheng raised his head helplessly and said to Jian Jing: "Don't bully Yingjie."
"Hmph." She stood up and drove Si Yingjie away, sitting next to Kang Mucheng. "How could I bully him? Is it okay to be curious?"
She raised her chin towards Si Yingjie, motioning him to answer her question.
Si Yingjie raised his hand in surrender: "Let's put it this way, Xiao Jing, it's very stressful for a man to be with you." He said sincerely, "Don't talk about cheating, even if you tell a lie, I think you can see through it, but sometimes you have to be a little confused to go on in a relationship."
Jian Jing said coldly: "That's because you are too easy to be seen through."
Si Yingjie: "..."
"What do you think?" She asked Kang Mucheng.
Kang Mucheng thought for a while and said, "I don't feel that way." He knew that she was very powerful now and had caught many criminals, but that was exactly why it was more worrying.
For example, today.
"Why did you suddenly change your mind?" he asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
Jian Jing: "No, I just want to go out and play."
Kang Mucheng looked at her, and she responded to his gaze as if nothing had happened.
"Okay." Perhaps, Si Yingjie was right. When people get along with each other, they also need to be a little confused occasionally. "Then when are you going to hand it in?"
Jian Jing: "...Next year."
Si Yingjie retaliated against her and deliberately asked: "When next year?"
Jian Jing: "Next year anyway."
Kang Mucheng has many ways to deal with pigeon spirits: "The first half of the year or the second half of the year?"
"Uh, the first half of the year." She said embarrassedly, "I will definitely write it, I will write it when I go back."
He said: "Let you go this time."
-
The plane landed in Egypt, and Jian Jing stayed in a hotel next to the pyramids. When she opened the curtains, she could witness one of the greatest miracles of mankind.
She lay in the bathtub, taking a bath to relieve the fatigue of the long flight, and called Jiang Baiyan by the way.
"Sorry," she apologized, "I suddenly don't want to write, not a single word, I just want to go out and play."
Jiang Baiyan didn't care: "I'm not blaming Jingjing, everyone doesn't want to work."
"I'll bring you a gift when I come back." Jian Jing promised, "What do you want?"
He pretended to be angry: "Do you need a gift for helping friends?"
She laughed and lay on the edge of the bathtub: "Knight, are you good?"
Jiang Baiyan sent a video request.
She clicked to agree.
Pudding was playing with a cat toy, and the knight was biting a big bone.
"Knight." She called her dog's name.
The German Shepherd's ears immediately stood up, and then he ran to the bedroom following the sound: "Woof!"
"Did you miss me?" she asked, "Be good at Xiaobai's house. I will pick you up when I come back from Egypt."
Knight: "Woof!"
"Be good." She poked the screen, unable to stop smiling.
Jiang Baiyan carried Pudding to bed and continued chatting with her: "Why are you taking a shower? Isn't it daytime?"
"Don't talk about it. I was covered in dust when I just got off the plane." She said, "I don't want to go to the pyramids later and be covered in dust."
Jiang Baiyan: "Are
we going to the Nile this time?" "Of course, we have chartered a boat." She blinked, "I wonder if something interesting will happen."
Jiang Baiyan poked secretly: "It's better not to, otherwise, Mr. Kang will worry again."
Jian Jing: "... Brother Yingjie is also here, I think it's hard to say."
Going out with Mr. Kang may not necessarily cause trouble, but if Si Yingjie is added, it's really hard to say.
——Unexpectedly
, the trip to the Nile was smooth sailing.
Because there were only four of them on the whole boat, plus a few crew members. The riverside scenery is nice, you can see many Egyptian scenes, the water is clear, and the mist rises to dispel the tropical heat.
Sitting quietly on the deck, I reread "Death on the Nile".
After many years, I still admire the author's tricks, and I can't help but feel that love is really the best partner for murder.
Just like coffee and milk, a classic combination.
Si Yingjie complained about her: "You watched "Death on the Nile" on a boat, "Eastern Train" on a train, and what did you watch on a plane?"
"In the Clouds."
"What about an island vacation?"
"And Then There Were None... I think it's too famous. "Evil Under the Sun" is also okay."
"Going to the North Pole?"
"30 Polar Nights."
"Antarctica?"
"The Thing: Prequel."
"Are these all horror movies?" Si Yingjie was speechless.
Jian Jing shrugged and said, "So what if it's a horror movie? It's not something I haven't encountered before."
Si Yingjie decided to change to a few everyday ones: "If you go to see the stars and the moon with others..."
Jian Jing: "'The Murder Magic of Astrology.'"
He racked his brains: "School library?"
Jian Jing: "...'The Mystery of the Library'?"
"The gymnasium is gone, right?"
Jian Jing stared at him silently: "'The Mystery of the Gymnasium.'"
Si Yingjie decided to change to a place for adults: "Golf course?"
Jian Jing looked at him pity: "'Golf Course Murder.'"
He was angry: "Nightclub!"
Jian Jing: "...The blind corner of the karaoke room?"
Si Yingjie: "What is this?"
"Comic." She wanted to say, don't struggle, other classic works may choose locations that tend to be in the Blizzard Mountain Manor mode, but there is an anime that has been serialized for too long, and its "claws" are spread throughout every aspect of daily life.
Cars, trains, airplanes, air boats, hot air balloons, and cruise ships are all affected; accidents often happen when traveling, visiting relatives, visiting someone, or going on vacation; bodies have appeared everywhere in the house, including living rooms, balconies, bedrooms, bathrooms, and study rooms.
Si Yingjie sighed sincerely: "Mystery novels are too crazy."
"This is the fun." Jian Jing said with a smile, "Murder is everywhere, everyone has evil thoughts, detectives and criminals compete with each other in wits and courage, and the confrontation between justice and evil will never end."
She turned her head and looked at Kang Mucheng: "Mucheng, what do you think?"
Kang Mucheng said: "Is it."
Jian Jing was dissatisfied: "What do you mean by 'right'?"
Kang Mucheng: "Let's talk about it after you finish writing."
"Hahaha." Si Yingjie took pleasure in the misfortune, "You've been urged to submit
your manuscript, right? Xiaojing, you deserve it." Jian Jing said angrily: "In the future, I will make three rules with you. You can't be urged to submit your manuscript when you go out to play."
"Okay, I won't urge you." Kang Mucheng smiled, "You are still young, write slowly."
"Yes." She looked out at the river bank and murmured half-hopefully and half-sadly, "There's a long way to go."
