Chapter 71

In the bustling hospital corridor, between the medical staff and the patients' families, the man with a calm expression seemed particularly eye-catching at this moment.

A hospital broadcast notification a few minutes ago, everyone heard it.

Most people are anxious or scolded and want to push outside the temporary inspection room.

Only the man held his cell phone and spoke slowly with the girl opposite him.

During the whole process, his eyes were not at all turbulent, and even the passers-by who were waiting for inspection could not help but look back.

Just when someone secretly lamented that this person's psychological tolerance was so strong, they suddenly heard the man get angry without warning—

"Did you forget my words again?

Can work be more important than your life?”

When he finished speaking, Wen Jing, who was standing against the wall and lowered his eyes, had stretched out his muscles on his shoulders and back, and his eyes were also a little scary.

After a while of silence on the phone, the girl's rapid footsteps and breathing came.

Then, when I heard the sound soft but firm:

“But you are important.”

Wen Jing was stunned.

At this moment, he didn't know what to react, as if he had even lost his ability to speak.

"I can't leave you alone there, smell the scenery."

“…”

After saying the previous sentence, I probably had already entered the elevator and the microphone turned into silence.

Everyone on the hospital corridor clearly saw that the tall and long legs leaned back to the wall, and the fine black eyelashes slowly pressed down the dark blue pupils.

The spare hand raised, and the slender and distinct knuckles covered their eyes.

He raised his jaw slightly, as if he had heard the most pleasant thing in the world, so he covered his eyes and laughed unscrupulously among a group of strangers.

Like a lunatic.

But it made people unable to see their eyes open.

When the elevator on Su Tong opened, the light was reappeared and the signal was connected again.

Hearing the low and hoarse laughter from the other side, Su Tong couldn't help but take down her phone and glance at the screen in confusion.

After confirming that the caller ID was Wen Jing and not inexplicably strung the line, Su Tong asked helplessly: "Why are you laughing at?"

"Because I'm happy!"

After laughing, the man's lowered voice sounded a little magnetic hoarse-

"You're going to confess, Tongtong?"

“…not count.”

Su Tong refused to admit it.

"I'm going to say the final word, that's enough."

He still spoke happily when he heard the scenery.

"...It's okay," Su Tong said.

She immediately said, "I'm going to go there now, you're now-"

"Don't come."

"I said I can't leave you alone there. Wen Jing, don't persuade me."

"I won't advise you," the man smiled in a good mood when he heard the "confession" again.

Then he turned sideways and looked at the long and crowded line of irritable and noisy sounds from time to time--

"It's useless if you come."

Su Tong's heart sank.

"Why?"

"I didn't tell you just now... Liu Feng's case was found in the hospital."

“——!”

Su Tong's steps stopped abruptly, and the blood on her face suddenly faded by eight or nine points.

Wen Jing clearly heard the girl's expedited breathing, and he pinched his eyebrows helplessly.

"There should be thirteen cases in all departments of the hospital, with the same symptoms... It is expected that all are drug-resistant strain infections."

Su Tong's pupils shrank.

It took a long time before she bit her lower lip, which was slightly trembling, and instinctively held the wall beside her.

The cold wall gave her some support and soberness.

Su Tong breathed slowly.

Then she paused word by word, her voice tense.

“…In-hospital infection.”

"right."

"Because the results of the drug sensitivity test will take several days to come out, during this period, the hospital has entered a closed state of alert - it cannot enter or exit.

So even if you come, you can only wait outside the hospital.”

Su Tong heard the sound of the slight thrust of her biting teeth.

"But I'm not sick, and I'm fine with immunity. Maybe I can-"

"Tongtong."

Wen Jing interrupted her, but Wen Rou could not refuse:

"Since the drug sensitivity test results have not come out, it is impossible to determine whether the strain that caused this infection was a known strain or a new variant strain, whether it was infected through contact infection or air infection."

"So you know, they won't let you in."

“…”

Su Tong held the wall's hand tightly, as if she wanted to get into the wall.

Her fingertips were as white as her face at this time, almost blending with the wall with white putty.

Of course she knew.

The more I know, the more uneasy he becomes - he is so panicked that his whole mind seems to be gone.

just in case……

Su Tong's hand clenched tightly, and only then did she realize that there was a sticky sweat in the palm of her hand at some point.

She didn't even dare to follow her "in case" to think about it.

At this moment, the heavy quietness in the phone was broken by the laughter from the opposite side.

"Tongtong."

"don’t worry."

"..." Su Tong was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she had no choice but to do anything about it.

"Why can you still laugh now?

Don’t you even know that you’re afraid?”

"I really didn't know it!"

On the phone, Wen Jing leaned against the wall with one hand in his pants pocket, and his eyes looked outside the corridor window, and his eyes were rarely empty.

"…I thought I wasn't afraid of death, so what else is there to be scary?"

Su Tong's heart twitched, "You..."

The opposite side was silent for a while and smiled, with an indescribable meaning.

"In this regard, you have to be my teacher."

"What?"

"The first time I was afraid to death was what you taught me, in City q."

Wen Jing said, and his mind once again passed through his dark shadow holding a dagger that he saw in the hotel that day.

After a moment he sighed and lowered his eyes, "This time, too."

“…”

"If something happens to me, who can protect you for me?"
