Si Lei walked to the observation window on the door and asked, "Has Xiaoyu gone to bed already?"
"Yes...I went to bed after the doctor came to check the room in the evening."
"Thank you for your hard work." Si Lei whispered.
"where."
"Then I'll go up now." Si Lei turned around and looked at Hesta, "Why don't you wait here for a while -"
"Let's go up together." Hesta replied, "It's only a few steps away."
While speaking, Hesta kept looking at Methnan's face. She noticed early on that something was wrong with this man's reaction. Not only did he deliberately avoid his gaze, he also kept his right hand in his coat pocket, as if he was holding something tightly.
Hesta was slightly wary - this person was probably carrying some dangerous items, such as guns and weapons.
"Then let's go." Si Lei said.
Before she finished speaking, a nurse came after him with a signature pad, asked Hestad's identity, and asked her to register her visiting information.
Si Lei explained on her behalf, and Hestad took the pen and register handed over by the nurse and began to sign. However, both pens were out of water.
The nurse took it back to check, and shook it a few times, but still couldn't write.
"...Use mine!" Mei Sinan stepped forward and took out a round-shaped ballpoint pen from the inside pocket of his coat. There was a white rabbit printed on the body of the pen, which looked very new.
Just as Hesta reached out to pick it up, Methnan accidentally touched it somewhere. The pen suddenly flashed with light, and at the same time, a string of nursery rhymes with very poor sound quality sounded.
Under the surprised gaze of everyone, Mesnan retracted his hand in embarrassment. He hurriedly flipped the switch on the side of the pen body, and the corridor became quiet again.
"Excuse me……"
Si Lei laughed and said, "Where did you get this money from?"
"It was a gift from the church to the choir..." Mesnan whispered, "They also gave me one."
"No wonder he can sing. The children should like it."
Methnan laughed twice and watched Hesta quickly sign his name.
"Thank you," Hesta said softly.
"You're welcome."
…
Because the lunch box in Hesta's hand smelled too strong, she kept waiting in the corridor. About an hour later, Si Lei and Mesnan came out of the chief physician's office. Seeing that both of them had smiles on their faces, Hesta guessed that the diagnosis was good.
The three of them took the elevator downstairs together, and Si Lei took Mei Sinan all the way to the east gate of the hospital. Before parting, Si Lei expressed his gratitude to him again, and Mei Sinan shook his head.
After almost all the polite words that should be said were finished, Si Lei saw that he was still hesitant to speak, so he couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else?"
Mesnan's throat moved slightly, his eyes lowered, and his right hand holding the small speaker tightened, "I..."
During the silence between the three of them, Hestad subtly changed his stance in order to adjust his center of gravity slightly forward - although Methnan does not seem to be a dangerous person at the moment, there are always accidents in everything... No matter this young man Whether the man pulled out a knife or a pistol next, she would react immediately.
However, with a sigh, Methnan's tense shoulders relaxed.
His right hand finally came out of his coat pocket - his palm was empty, with nothing in it.
"...It's okay," Mei Sinan smiled shyly, "I'll come back tomorrow. Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Si Lei waved to him and quickly left with Hesta.
After walking a few steps, Hesta turned back and glanced at Methnan's back.
...What a strange person.
…
On a stone platform downstairs of the hospital, Hesta and Si Lei once again laid out the evening's stir-fries. They used the microwave oven on the first floor to heat up every dish. The taste was almost the same, not to mention that both of them were already ravenous at the moment, and everything tasted delicious.
The distance between the stools and the tabletop of the stone table was too far, and Hesta could never find a comfortable position. As he ate, he would drop rice grains with his chopsticks. Si Lei picked up the plastic bag for packaging and gave it to Hesta. Star put it on the table.
Hesta smiled, "Thank you."
"It's still inconvenient to live with one hand," Si Lei said softly, "Did AHgAs say when can I put your arm back on again?"
Hesta shook his head, "It shouldn't be possible until we return to the battle sequence...but most of the time I'm used to it."
"Then when will you return to the team?"
"I don't know," Hesta replied. "They said there will be an evaluation in November this year. I guess it will have to wait until then at least."
Si Lei nodded, "Fortunately, the day will go by quickly."
"What about you?" Hesta asked, "How long will you stay in District 14?"
"...I don't know either, let's see."
"Look at Xiaoyu's condition?"
"Not entirely," Si Lei picked up the bowl. "It's more convenient for me to stay here to do many things. After all, the case on the Shengming is currently being investigated by the 14th District. I've given it to several people last month. Reports have been written on all aspects, and if they contact me, I will respond as soon as possible."
"...Is there any follow-up to those reports?"
"Not yet." Si Lei half-opened his eyes, his expression a little cold, "A few reporters got the news from someone who knows where, and they came to the hospital."
"Ignore those people."
"Of course I don't care about it now. As long as there is news related to the Shengming, the confidentiality rating is very high," Si Lei said softly. "The investigation takes time. I understand this, but if someone wants to board the Shengming, Even if the tragedy that happened continues, I will not let it go."
Hesta stopped answering and ate several mouthfuls of rice in silence. After a while, she put down her chopsticks, straightened up again, and sat on the stone bench.
"By the way, why did Officer Si Lei go to District 3 in the first place?"
"I didn't choose where to go," Si Lei said in a low voice, "I think I mentioned this to some of you on the Shengming before?"
"Well," Hesta nodded, "you said that in the spring of 2014, you picked up a woman's bag, which contained her ID and ship ticket, and then you impersonated that identity and boarded the ship."
"Yes, that's right."
"Did you really go straight to the pier to board the ship after picking up the ticket?" Hesta asked curiously, "You just went straight there without any preparation?"
"What else should I prepare? I originally planned to go to the beach that day," Si Lei fell into memories and suddenly smiled, "It's just that if I didn't have that bag, I would go to another bay."
"What to do?"
"Jump into the sea."
Hesta was startled, thinking she heard wrongly, "...What to do?"
"Jumping into the sea," Si Lei replied calmly, "Life was meaningless at that time."
"Why……"
"If you are trapped for too long, you will have no strength." Si Lei put her hands on the table. She was silent for a while and then continued, "I have no strength to hide or struggle. I just want everything to end as soon as possible. Probably, that’s the idea.”
