Chapter 36 Hourglass Part 1
Chapter 32 Hourglass 1
The second hand of the clock on the wall was ticking away, and the time was gradually passing. Fang Minzhi and Jing Yan met with Dr. Lu in another room and listened to his views after talking with Qin Zhen. However, in order to protect privacy, even relatives However, the specific content of Qin Zhen's conversation with him cannot be disclosed.

He straightened his glasses, and explained slowly: "Maybe it's because her nerves have been suppressed for too long. Miss Qin's mood is very unstable now, so she must find a way to get her to cooperate with the treatment. Once there is an incentive, she will be forced to act beyond reason." Things, don't let her be stimulated again." He turned to Fang Minzhi and said, "I hope you can provide me with relevant information about her, and tell me about her daily emotional performance, such as about her As much as possible about getting along with her ex-husband and Mr. Jing Jing, it will be very helpful for my treatment. "

Fang Minzhi was worried, and glanced at Jing Yan hesitantly. He was expressionless at this moment, even more cold and arrogant than his father when he was young. She sighed secretly, nodded and agreed: "Okay, I will give it to you as soon as possible."

Jing Yan pursed her lips and asked, "I want to know, how long will the treatment cycle take? She also received treatment in the United States. Should I go back and continue to follow up or stay here?"

Dr. Lu was lowering his head to record something in the medical record. After listening to his question, he raised his head and explained: "It depends on Miss Qin's wishes. Generally, this kind of patients resist others saying that they are sick. If they are strong-willed, she will I can completely hide my mental illness, and if she doesn't cooperate, no matter where the treatment is, it will be useless. Some patients will get better faster if they change to a relatively less depressing environment. There is no absolute in medicine. matter."

Now Jing Yan looked at Fang Minzhi, and asked in a deep voice, "Then what's your opinion?"

Fang Minzhi was silent for a while, and then said: "I want to go back and talk to her again. If she insists on staying here, then I will not leave. I can't just leave her as a shopkeeper and hand her over to you."

Jing Yan nodded.

After Dr. Lu left, Fang Minzhi hesitated for a long time before saying to Jing Yan, "I don't know if you know that Zhenzhen...she committed suicide once, not long after she arrived in the United States."

The lines of Jing Yan's body stiffened suddenly, and there was a slight ripple in his deep eyes like the sea, and he asked in a deep voice: "What happened? She has a very strong character, and she doesn't think she would do such a stupid thing." Said In the end, his tone became uncertain, and the hands he shook were even tighter. It is undeniable that his emotions were touched.

"In the past, she ran to the United States as soon as she was under the pressure I gave her, and now she is doing this to escape reality." Fang Minzhi shook his head and sighed softly: "You can't be a better mother than me." As far as I know her, Zhenzhen is only superficially strong. In China, we all follow her and protect her. It’s okay for her to go well, but it’s different in the United States. After all, it’s very different from Chinese culture. She’s around 20 A girl who is [-] years old is used to relying on others, and suddenly she has to live alone, and she has to face many things by herself, how can she do what she wants? Besides, she had a falling out with me at that time, and she had a stubborn temper, so she probably didn't talk to you She said she was wronged, she encountered some bad things, and then she started to give up on herself. It was Cheng Yu who helped her take care of her, and they started to fall in love after getting in touch with each other. Who would have thought it would become like this? Well, it’s useless to say these things , as a mother, I just hope that she can get well soon and stop suffering.” A person’s fragility is often manifested in adversity, and has nothing to do with her character.

Jing Yan raised her eyebrows. Indeed, Zhenzhen always reported good news to him but not bad news. Whether she was scolded by her mother or scolded by her mother, she just laughed it off. He never mentioned anything to him, and every time he asked, he only said that she was doing well, but it turned out not to be.

He didn't know that it turns out that girls also want face so much, they are afraid of failure, and they are even more afraid of others seeing her fail, especially those who love her.

Recalling her scream just now, Jing Yan stood up without saying a word, and walked quickly in the direction where Qin Zhen was.

Pushing open the door, the thin figure was curled up on the large leather chair, the slightly curly hair was scattered on the back, and there was a lot of sweat on the forehead, with bangs sticking to it, looking very embarrassed. This is a girl who used to love to laugh and love beauty. Girl, it's so scarred now.

He didn't know how he felt right now, was it distressed?Or sympathy?Or maybe both.

Hearing the sound, Qin Zhen came back to his senses sensitively, turned his head and stared fiercely: "I told you to be quiet! Who is it?" Her hoarse voice was like a wounded little animal, and her prickly eyes met Jing Yan met, turned around immediately, stretched out his hands hurriedly to straighten his hair and clothes, as if he didn't want him to see him like this, so he forced a smile, "Brother Jing Yan? Can we go now?"

Jing Yan's eyes became deeper and deeper, he frowned, and asked her in a soft voice: "Well, we can go now, how do you feel now?"

"I feel bad, like a prisoner." Qin Zhen said angrily, his pale face finally stained some rosy, jumped to him like a child, easily took his arm and said: "Hurry up, I really don't like it here."

Seeing her wantonly holding his hand, Jing Yan thought of Su Xiaomu, his justifiable little wife, who would never hold his arm so boldly in front of outsiders. She always said she was embarrassed, and she would not be like Zhen Zhen expresses her emotions directly like that, always looks at problems from the perspective of others, thinks for others first, and thinks of herself last.

Zhenzhen and her are two different women, one is outgoing and the other is reserved.

One is his past and the other is his present.

It seems that he can no longer find the feeling he had back then, he can only think of Zhenzhen as his younger sister, a younger sister who needs his care, and Xiaomu, he cares about her feelings, and he doesn't want her to be sad.

After all it is different.

Sitting in the car, Qin Zhen turned sideways and said to Jing Yan: "Brother Jing Yan, I want to go back to the place where I lived before. If I can still live, I want to move back there. It feels very uncomfortable to stay in a hotel all the time."

Jing Yan thought for a while, and said: "No one has lived in it for so many years, so I definitely can't live in it right away. Let's talk about it after I have someone clean it up. Just bear with it."

"I..." Qin Zhen muttered in a low voice, "It would be great if I could live with you, isn't it the same before?" She used to have the key to his house.

Hearing this almost rude words, Fang Minzhi was horrified. Wang Hao, who was the driver, almost had to brake suddenly. Fortunately, his concentration has been extraordinary under the training of his boss for many years. He only concentrated on driving while driving. The rear mirror carefully peeked at the boss's expression.

Still so cool and clear.

"The place where I used to live is also vacant, so I can't move in right away." Even though he knew what she meant, Jing Yan still refused sideways. He could follow her, but he didn't let her do whatever she wanted and crossed his bottom line.

Qin Zhen gave a simple "hmm", then pursed his lips stubbornly and looked out the window.

Fang Minzhi in the front seat just frowned, without saying a word.

They had lunch together, Fang Minzhi asked Qin Zhen to accompany her back to the hotel to rest on the pretext of being uncomfortable, but Qin Zhen sent her back, and on the condition that she would obediently cooperate with the treatment, Yang Jingyan accompanied her for a stroll Houhai.

Jing Yan looked down at her, remembering what Fang Minzhi said about her experience in the United States, he did not refuse after all.

Houhai is a place that reminds people. The old mansions are faintly visible in the shade, the vast waters are connected to the imperial city, and you can see the Yinding Bridge engraved with elegant inscriptions when you pass through Yandai Xiejie.

Standing on the bridge, Qin Zhen took a deep breath at the beautiful blue waves in front of him, as if temporarily dispelling the depression, feeling rare to relax, and said with a smile: "I haven't been here for many years, I really miss it. Scenery Brother Yan, do you still remember that we used to come here to play?"

"Of course I remember, I just don't understand, why don't you get tired of those few scenes that come and go?" Jing Yan smiled shallowly, leaning on the stone railing with one hand, feeling the cool wind with water vapor, his thoughts It became clearer and brighter.

Houhai has many memories of him and Zhenzhen, laughing and chasing each other, talking and laughing at each other, or just sitting there quietly watching the tourists passing by.He doesn't like places with a lot of people, but she always brings him here to get close to the crowd, she said, she doesn't want him to be lonely.

It was a very pure youthful emotion, without any impurities.

Qin Zhen seemed to be still immersed in his own memory, and said with confidence: "At that time, I always felt that there would be unexpected surprises when visiting those small alleys of big houses, such as finding some good treasures, or encountering strange things, and then came to It's the same with the Grand Canyon, everything is new and unknown to me, and I don't know that if I do that, I will lose my only child."

When she and Cheng Yu had the most intense quarrel, he asked her, Qin Zhen, haven't you regretted it?

She replied then, no.

In fact, how could it not?And this is not the only thing she regrets now.

Jing Yan comforted in a low voice: "Zhenzhen, these things are in the past, don't keep thinking about it over and over again, lest you live an uncomfortable life."

"I can't help but think, what would happen if I didn't go to the Grand Canyon, what if I didn't go to the United States, if... I didn't leave you back then, what would we be like now?" She said She looked straight at Jing Yan, as if she wanted some kind of affirmation from him.

But she was doomed to be disappointed. With Jing Yan's pride, she never said she regretted it, nor did she let others regret it.

There was no expression on his face: "But Zhenzhen, there are no ifs in this world, and we are all responsible for our own choices."

Qin Zhen looked sideways, opened his mouth, and seemed to want to say something, when Jing Yan's cell phone rang.

He quickly picked it up, his expression changed, and he said softly, "Huh? I'm in Houhai with Zhenzhen now, at night... I will go back, but you don't have to wait for me... Well, I will try to come back as soon as possible."

"Who is it?" Qin Zhen asked knowingly.

Jing Yan said lightly: "My wife, you have seen it before, you should still have an impression, her name is Su Xiaomu."

Qin Zhen asked curiously: "Wouldn't she be jealous if you said you were with me so directly?"

Jing Yan pursed her lips: "She's not that kind of person."

"Well, then did you marry her for the children as Uncle Jing said, or because you love her too?"

"Zhenzhen!" Jing Yan raised his eyebrows in displeasure. This was the first time he was angry at her rudeness after meeting him, because of his father's incomprehension, and even more because of her unscrupulous words.

He didn't allow anyone to talk about Xiaomu's right and wrong, and why the two of them were together, as long as they knew clearly, there was no need for outsiders to question.

Qin Zhen is very knowledgeable about current affairs, so she closed her eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked." It turned out that she was really lost, but why did she still want to catch something in her heart?

At this time, the door of the publishing company.

Su Xiaomu was still thinking about what the editor-in-chief said just now, why she had a good vision and married well, and what kind of surprises, if she said half of it and kept the other half, it would be frightening to death, but he refused to reveal any more. little bit.

The more she thought about it, the more depressed she became, so she searched her handbag to find a mobile phone to call Jing Yan, but she really heard his voice, and she didn't want to ask anything anymore. Since it was a surprise he wanted to give, let's treat it as ignorance.

Then I heard him say that he was with Qin Zhen.

She is a woman, and the person she loves is with the person she once liked. It would be a lie to say that she is not jealous, but she knows that jealousy can make people become demons.She was glad that he was not like those plots in TV novels, who lied for fear of misunderstanding, and then covered up with one lie after another, which eventually led to the breakdown of mutual trust, which could have been avoided.

She also promised him that she would give each other enough trust.

She took a deep breath, put the phone back into her bag, and accidentally came across the small hourglass filled with purple fine sand. It was a sample that the editor had shown her, and said that when the new art book was released, she would attach this small gift to the book as a present. For readers, she vaguely remembers that the purple hourglass represents "being with you for a lifetime", and it is indeed a very good gift for girls who yearn for love.

While she was in a daze, the melodious piano music rang again, and the phone screen flickered. She took it out to have a look. It was an unfamiliar number, and she picked it up hesitantly.

On the other side of the phone, there was a long-lost gentle whisper: "Xiaomu, I'm back."

Accompanied by the noise of the plane across the sky.

In the hourglass of time, there is always a knight silently guarding his princess behind him, in his own way.

Even though, he will never be her destined prince.
