Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 12 Comfort
When Jiang You saw that the glucose drip had finished, he pressed the bell at the bedside. A few minutes later, the nurse came over and pulled out the needle.
Wang Jie bit her lips, her body still trembling slightly.
The nurse walked out of the ward carrying the tray.
He put the empty bowl of porridge into the bag on the ground.
He said, "The porridge is getting cold. Yours is vegetable porridge. Eat at least a few mouthfuls."
He put the spoon into Wang Jie's hand again and took the porridge from the bedside table to her.
She reached out and took it.
Took a spoonful.
Send to mouth.
Jiang You watched her slowly eat half a bowl of rice and then put the bowl down. He reached out and took the bowl and covered it.
"I didn't have a very good year last year. I have a house, and the two original tenants were very nice. They paid the rent on time every month, took good care of the house, and occasionally invited me to have a meal together."
Wang Jie gradually calmed down as she listened to Jiang You's voice.
"One of them jumped to his death."
"How come?"
"For various reasons, the other person also moved out, and the house became empty," Jiang You leaned back in his chair, "Then the agent helped me rent it out and lowered the price a little. Not long , about two months, the agent told me that he smelled a strange smell when he passed by the house, so I went over."
Wang Jie raised her head and looked at Jiang You.
"Luckily the agent found out early that the house was damaged," Jiang You shook his head. "I don't want to think about it anymore. I had no choice but to sell the house, find a new one somewhere else with some money."
“I, I…”
"There aren't many girls in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, right?"
"Very few, there are only two girls in our class."
"Why did you choose this major?"
"I, I don't know how to choose. I heard that the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Tangjiang University is pretty good..."
"Didn't you ask the teacher?"
"I……"
"It was only after I came here that I realized that the Department of Mechanical Engineering was not suitable for girls, and after graduation, only boys were needed for employment."
"Do you want to be a professional painter in the future?"
"I will definitely get better if I draw more and take on more drawings."
"I didn't finish college. I dropped out in my junior year."
"Drop out of school..."
"I regret it a lot. It's not that I regret not getting a diploma, but the four brothers in my dormitory had a very good relationship. I regret not graduating with them. We played games all night and skipped classes. There was a barbecue buffet near the school. The four of us were hungry one day and went there to eat. The owner's face turned green. Originally, there was no time limit in that restaurant, but when we went there again, we could only eat for two hours."
Wang Jie smiled, but the smile only lasted for a second.
She reached under the quilt and touched the plastic bag. She took it out and looked at the gears. "After Dad died, I could only rely on myself."
“Do you often draw gears?”
"Well, when I came across questions I couldn't answer in my homework or textbooks, I would draw them while thinking, I must do my best, I..."
"You are very hardworking . You were admitted to Tangjiang University and can earn your own living expenses."
“I, I chose the wrong major.”
“Not necessarily wrong.”
“What if I can’t find a job?”
"I used to study computer science, and now I sell postcards."
"Aren't you a policeman?"
"Part-time job," Jiang You took the plastic bag from Wang Jie, "I can see things that others can't. It is said that my eyes are very rare. If I start practicing from a young age, I will become very powerful. But because I am nearsighted, it is useless."
"What a pity." Wang Jie said regretfully.
"There's nothing to regret. If you choose an ordinary life, you will face ordinary challenges. If you want something better, you will face more difficult ones. That's what Superman Li said."
Wang Jie lowered her head again.
"When I was in school, I went through elementary school, middle school, high school and university, one level at a time. I had the illusion that if I didn't beat a level, or if I made a mistake in adding points to a skill tree, I would not be able to complete the main quest."
"Where is Gu Lingke?" Wang Jie asked.
Jiang You looked at her.
"Is she, is she dead?" the voice was very low.
Jiang You opened the plastic bag and took out the gear from it. "It's up to you."
"I……"
"You wish she would disappear."
"yes……"
" So she disappeared."
"I'm not, I'm just, I, she, I'm so tired every day, the final exam is coming soon, I still have a lot of things to look at, what should I do if I fail? The drawing was rejected again, I, I thought Zhu Qi, I thought he could comfort me, I really want to see him, but, they hugged each other, what should I do?"
"I think, I might as well just die. No one cares about me anyway. My father who cares about me is gone. I am the only one in this world. What should I do..."
Tears fell on the bed sheet, "There is no meaning in my life. I, I can't do anything well..."
"If you have mood swings like this, your father's mood will also fluctuate."
"What?"
“Transactions can occasionally be canceled.”
The door of the ward opened and Tang Butian walked in.
Jiang You stood up, bent down, and placed the gear in front of Wang Jie.
Wang Jie opened her eyes wide.
"Do you want Gu Lingke to disappear?"
"No, I..."
Wang Jie heard herself say: "No, I hate her, I hate her, but I..."
The gears started turning.
——
Sun Yu was sitting in the interrogation room of Ning'an Police Station, and opposite him sat a boy of about eighteen or nineteen years old.
He is Wang Jie's boyfriend Zhu Qi.
"What is your relationship with Wang Jie?" Sun Yu asked.
"My girlfriend."
"How did you two meet?"
"She was handing out flyers on the street, but people on the street didn't accept her flyers, so she started crying. I helped her hand out flyers, and that's how we got to know each other."
"When was the last time you saw Wang Jie?"
"Last week, last Tuesday, I went to her place to look for her, and she suddenly went crazy, like a lunatic, so I left."
"Why is she going crazy?"
"I don't know. Maybe there's something wrong with her brain when she draws. Besides, women always have those days when..."
"What is your relationship with Gu Lingke?" Sun Yu interrupted Zhu Qi.
"It doesn't matter."
"I saw you and Gu Lingke walking together in school."
"Is it okay to meet each other on the street? Does it mean that if a man and a woman walk together now, they are cheating? What era is this?"
"You are not a student of Tangjiang University, why do you come here so often?"
"I can't come? Who stipulated that?" Zhu Qi asked impatiently, "Do you suspect me? Can't find anyone and want to put the blame on me?"
"We are investigating. I want you to come here to understand the situation."
"I've told you everything I know. Hurry up and investigate. Find the people," Zhu Qi said provocatively. "It's been so many days. How come you can't find two living people? Where's the surveillance? Did the surveillance break down when something happened?"
