When Meng Hechuan came back, Bai Yan's complexion had returned to normal.
They tacitly kept silent about what had just happened.
Meng Hechuan handed over a military green stainless steel cup filled with hot water.
Bai Yan took the medicine with hot water and leaned back in the chair.
The high temperature had already slowed her reaction, and coupled with the sleeping pills she took, Bai Yan's eyelids gradually became heavy.
"You take a nap. I'll call you when the drip is done."
Meng Hechuan's voice was low and seemed unusually reliable in the middle of the night.
Now that he had returned to normal, Bai Yan stopped being pretentious and didn't dare to ask him to go first again, for fear of repeating the same mistake and making Master Meng unhappy again.
She exhaled lightly, leaned back in the chair, looked at the drops of liquid in the infusion bottle falling, and slowly closed her eyes.
...
...
It wasn't until the girl beside him began to breathe evenly that Meng Hechuan dared to turn his head and look at her.
Bai Yan's head tilted towards him, nodding like a chick pecking at rice.
When we first met on the train, she also fell asleep leaning against the wall like this.
But Meng Hechuan clearly remembered that she didn't like this sleeping position.
Looking closely, Bai Yan's brows were indeed not relaxed but tightly furrowed.
He just lowered his eyes and stared at Bai Yan, his thin lips tightened into a line.
What happened just now was an impulse, but not entirely an impulse.
Meng Hechuan was an adult man of twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. Although he had never been in a relationship, he understood what was going on between men and women.
Bai Yan avoided him, Bai Yan was afraid of him, and Bai Yan's actions of deliberately drawing a line between him and Hua Qing made Meng Hechuan very unhappy.
It was clearly me who brought her into the team, and they were the ones who knew each other the longest, but her attitude towards me had always been indifferent, and she even kept her distance from me more than I was worried about her identity.
As if he was some kind of monster.
Furthermore——
Meng Hechuan's eyes dropped to Bai Yan's hand which was receiving an IV.
When I touched her hand just now, there seemed to be an obvious small scar on the palm of her hand?
Half a year ago, he was ordered by the organization to go south to look for new blueprints from Country M.
He also fell and became unconscious in the mountains near Jinling.
When he woke up, he couldn't see because of retinal detachment. He was rescued by someone and survived, completing the mission.
The girl who saved him hardly spoke the whole time. His hands and feet were injured to varying degrees, and the girl could only support him.
But because they had lost their vision, they stumbled along the way.
He was extremely careful, but still accidentally fell into a mud pit and slipped.
Seeing that the back of his head was about to hit the rock, the girl could only use her palm to support the back of his occipital bone to block the impact for him.
Her palms were also scratched by the rocks and blood was flowing.
There were bandages in Meng Hechuan's backpack. He couldn't see, so he bandaged the girl by touch alone.
After their palms touched for a long time, he knew very well where the scar on the girl's left hand was.
It is just on the outside of the palm, two inches away from the little finger.
After he brought Ruan Xiaohui back to the team, he once made a tentative observation and found that Ruan Xiaohui's hands were covered with many scars of varying sizes due to years of hard work.
But there was no mark on the palm of his left hand.
But Bai Yan happened to have a scar in that place.
There are no two people in the world with exactly the same fingerprints and palm prints.
But is it such a coincidence that there is someone with exactly the same scars?
Bai Yan's surname is Bai and she is also from Jinling.
only--
Meng Hechuan already knew when he investigated Bai Yan's identity that she was not from Baijia Village.
Bai Yan is from the neighboring Lijia Town.
The information didn't match, and the epaulettes that served as a promise were not in her hands.
Instead, it was taken out by Ruan Xiaohui.
Meng Hechuan frowned.
Every time I ask Ruan Xiaohui, she repeatedly says that she can't remember clearly. Should I seriously ask her for clarification?
The window in the infusion room was not closed, and cold wind blew in from outside. Bai Yan shrank her neck unconsciously.
Meng Hechuan's expression changed slightly, as if he had made some decision in an instant.
He stood up to close the window, then sat back down.
An arm's length away from Bai Yan.
Chief Engineer Meng straightened his back and put his shoulder towards Bai Yan's head.
He raised his long arm, reached to the left, and gently and slowly placed the chick's head pecking at rice on his shoulder.
…
Bai Yan slept soundly in the first half of the night and did not have any dreams.
From time to time, a fresh fragrance would waft into her nose, making her feel inexplicably comfortable.
Because it was so comfortable, my five senses relaxed.
Bai Yan even relaxed the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing her tiny pearly teeth.
But in the second half of the night, she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt as if something was pressing down on her head.
It's stuck tightly, and it feels sore and painful.
She tried to turn for relief, but she couldn't.
Every time I moved, I would be pushed back by a force.
It can only be stuck and pressed on something hard.
The nightmare specifically chooses to break in at this time.
Bai Yan was horrified to see Ruan Xiaohui's face in her dream. She was holding the epaulettes that she had stolen from her pocket and smiling grimly, "Bai Yan, if it weren't for you, no one would know about the epaulettes anymore! So, you have to die!"
Bai Yan waved her hands and shouted, "Go away, go away! The shoulder badge is mine! You stole my things, and you still want to harm me?"
"Yan...Bai Yan!"
Bai Yan suddenly opened her eyes, the collar of her clothes behind her was wet and her forehead was covered with sweat.
Meng Hechuan just pulled her arm to wake her up from the nightmare.
At this time, the sky had turned pale and it was daybreak.
"Excuse me, Chief Engineer Meng, did I sleep all night?"
"You haven't been talking in your sleep all night."
Bai Yan was a little embarrassed, "Yes, I seem to have had a nightmare, I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself." Bai Yan's mind was in a mess, and she didn't remember what she said.
She reached out to tidy up her hair and apologized: "Thank you, it seemed like there was a terrible thing pressing on my head in my dream just now."
Bai Yan pinched her neck with her right hand and found that her neck was indeed quite stiff.
"Are you dreaming?" The man stood up calmly and turned sideways so that Bai Yan wouldn't see the wet spot on his shoulder.
"Yeah." Bai Yan guessed that she was probably too tired, so she slept with her head tilted while sitting all night and got a stiff neck. "It may be because of my sleeping posture. The monster in my dream kept pinching my neck with its black claws, making me tilt to the right."
Bai Yan was afraid that she couldn't explain it clearly, so she deliberately tilted her neck to the right to demonstrate it to him.
"... Did you see what the monster looked like?"
"I didn't see it clearly." Bai Yan shrugged. "Anyway, a monster should have two heads and four mouths, eating people with a crackling sound. I suspect that the monster wanted to eat my head, so it kept holding it and prevented me from running away."
Meng Hechuan: "...You really are a dreamer."
"Hmm? What did you say?"
"I said, I let you rest for a night, but I'm not Huang Shiren."
