Moonlight falls into my arms

When Huo Xingzhou found the person, Jiang Yuci was standing in front of the cat's nest.

"You..." Huo Xingzhou wanted to ask if he was alright, but found himself unable to bring himself to ask.

He doesn't look like he's alright at all.

Jiang Yuci is quite concerned about his image. While his peers were asking their families for money, he started earning his own living independently. Huo Xingzhou mentioned several times that if he had a family like Jiang Yuci's, he would definitely find it easy to go from extravagance to frugality and would never want to earn his own money again.

He bent down and patted Jiang Yuci on the shoulder before leaving the room to himself.

Jiang Yuci calmed down when she saw that the house was empty.

He didn't even show the panic he felt at first when he learned that Ruan Li had deleted all his contact information; it was as if he had already accepted reality.

He just stared at the cat's nest, feeling nothing in his heart, but his mind couldn't process it for a moment.

I feel like something's missing.

He slowly sat down against the foot of the bed. The cold tiles gave off a chill. He stayed there for a while.

The phone rang repeatedly beside him, but he didn't hear it; his eyes were wide open, and he didn't even blink.

The world was silent.

With a bang, a bird outside crashed into the window and fell down.

This woke Jiang Yuci up, and he stood up.

Hearing the phone still ringing, I finally realized what was happening.

He couldn't find Ruan Li.

The call connected, and on the other end was Wen Qi's assistant. "Finally answered. President Wen just called you, but you didn't answer, so she asked me to keep calling until you answered. But she's busy right now, so please wait a bit."

In the past, Jiang Yuci would have simply hung up the phone and let it go.

This time, they actually listened to the person on the other end and didn't hang up.

He moved his lips, but found that his throat was dry and hoarse, unable to produce any syllables.

Wen Qi answered the phone.

“Ruan Li went to the hospital today. The doctor said it was acute myocarditis. I asked the driver to take her home, but when the driver came back, he told me that she went to the law firm. Do you know that?”

Wen Qi made this call to Jiang Yuci not for Jiang Yuci's sake, but simply to loudly greet her. Although Ruan Li was already an adult, the young girl was still quite young, so she needed to be kept in close watch.

There was no sound coming from the other side for a long time.

Wen Qi glanced at her phone: "Jiang Yuci, are you mute?"

The phone was hung up.

Wen Qi looked at his assistant beside him, who hesitated and said, "He didn't say anything just now."

Wen Qi left the study, and Jiang Yanhui had just returned to the living room outside.

"mom."

Did your brother go to the hospital today?

"No."

"Go see if he can speak tomorrow."

Jiang Yan paused in her ascent upstairs. "What?"

"He seems to have lost his voice."

Jiang Yan frowned: "Isn't he in a relationship?"

Jiang Yuci was mute for a time during junior high school, experiencing intermittent speech loss. Later, she was able to speak again, but she no longer liked to talk.

The doctor said his aphasia was caused by emotional distress and panic.

Jiang Yan remembered Wen Qi's words and went to find Jiang Yuci the next day, but he didn't see him.

"You didn't ask for leave either?"

The nurse replied to Jiang Yan's words: "Lawyer Huo came by this morning specifically to say that Dr. Jiang might not be able to come today, but he didn't know anything about it."

Jiang Yan returned to Jiang Yuci's consultation room, looked around, and saw the origami cranes on the table. He smiled slyly, treating a few scraps of paper like treasures.

When the person still hadn't arrived by noon, Jiang Yan took advantage of the lunch break to drive directly to his house to look for him.

The door won't open, no matter how many times I press the button.

Jiang Yan called back, and could hear the phone ringing, but no one answered.

"Jiang Yu resigns!" He kicked the door.

There was still no movement inside.

Jiang Yu was in the study, still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, but holding a photograph in his hand.

The front of the photo was yellowed and the person was not clearly visible, but a few strokes stood out. He turned the photo over with his fingertips and saw the words on the back.

—Jiang Yuci, I am not her

The photo was crumpled up, and you could see a few drops of water on it.

The water stains have dried up.

The banging on the door was still going on outside.

"You'd better die in there!" Jiang Yan slammed the door so hard that the door frame shook.

I have no idea what the people inside are doing.

But the phone kept ringing, so Jiang Yuci must be inside too.

He couldn't figure out what made Jiang Yuci shut herself off again.

"Jiang Yuci! Open the door! I'm calling the police!" he roared, his forehead bulging with blue veins, his neck red and swollen beyond recognition. If this weren't a one-family-per-floor apartment, most of the neighbors would probably have come out with spatulas to yell at him.

"Are you going to die? Are you going to die?" Jiang Yanhui's elbow was scraped, and blood was stuck to it. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his hand was shaking as he held his phone, trying to call the police.

Before I could even make the call, the door opened.

"You fucking know how to open the door." Jiang Yan steadied the door to prevent him from closing it again, and went inside.

Nothing unexpected happened at home. Apart from some things that didn't suit Jiang Yuci's taste, Jiang Yanhui didn't see any danger.

What's wrong with your throat?

Jiang Yu opened the door without saying a word, letting Jiang Yan look around the house. He went to the study and locked the door.

Jiang Yan's gaze was fixed on the koi fish he kept in the living room, and he didn't notice anything for a moment.

By the time Jiang Yuci realized what was happening, she had already locked the study door from the inside.

"You got dumped?" That was the only thing Jiang Yan could think of.

But he didn't expect that person to make him so stressed; he thought his brother wouldn't react much to anything.

"Do you even know you're a doctor? If you're not going to speak these days, are you going to never speak again? Are you giving up being a doctor?"

Jiang Yan kicked the door to his study: "If you're so capable, then don't ever come out of here again, and don't go to the hospital either."

Jiang Yanhui really wanted to take a chainsaw and cut the door in half, then tie up the people inside and pull them out.

“I asked Huo Xingzhou, and it’s not that she can’t be found. She must have gone to find her parents. If you have a clue, you can go find her. What are you standing here for?”

Jiang Yan paused, remaining silent, then started cursing again, "I think you're just a fool..."

Jiang Yu opened the door, opened his lips, but still couldn't make a sound.

The next second, the man fell straight down. Jiang Yan grabbed his clothes to prevent him from falling headfirst.

When Jiang Yuci was wheeled into the hospital, a crowd gathered at the entrance, all peeking inside.

No one believed that the person inside was Jiang Yuci.

Looking at the person lying on the bed inside, pale-faced, with eyes that were drier than usual, and looking extremely haggard, Tan Yue stammered, "It seems that going to bed early, getting up early, exercising, and not eating greasy food isn't so good for you. What happened to Dr. Jiang?"

When Dr. Li arrived, he saw Jiang Yuci lying on the bed and wanted to go in and take a look.

Seeing that Jiang Yuci had opened her eyes, he froze at the door and dared not go in.

"Dr. Li, aren't you going in to take a look?"

Dr. Li forced a wry smile: "I'm busy, I'll go downstairs first. Just check if he wakes up."

"Dr. Li, did you do something wrong behind Dr. Jiang's back?" Tan Yue asked, noticing Dr. Li's guilty look.

"Could Dr. Jiang's situation be related to you?"

Dr. Li shook his head: "What does it have to do with me? He... drove the person away in anger."

Tan Yue blinked: "Ruan Li broke up with him?"

Dr. Li has already run away. "I didn't say anything."

Li Luo had told him not to mention Ruan Li in front of Jiang Yuci.

That ancestor is usually very obedient, but if he gets stubborn, he can't win.
