They Regretted it After Their Hearts Turned to Ashes

Seaview Villa.

After Xun Zhen read those paintings one by one, he withdrew his mind, only to realize that Ming Chi was watching the video.

The background of the video seems to use a particularly nice guitar song. Just listening to it makes people feel good, and even the air seems to be lively.

Xun Zhen had never heard of it, so he was a little curious: "Did you write it before?"

Ming Chi smiled and nodded slightly.

He saved the video download of the stickman in a separate folder, then put the phone aside, put his hands back on his lap and sat down.

"Okay, there's no need to be so formal." Xun Zhen said dumbly, "It's just a simple return visit."

After Ming Chi surgery, Xun Zhen actually didn't meet him formally a few times.

There are doctors and nurses for treatment and rehabilitation, and of course there are family members of patients for things like recuperating with patients.The team did little in terms of psychological counseling, and the patient's condition was stable, and there was no need for the dean to come forward.

Ming Chi doesn't remember the past, of course he will be stranger to him than before.Xun Zhen had prepared for this long ago, briefly explained his purpose of coming, and put the new review results on the table.

"The range is smaller, so you can run around casually without hurting your legs." Xun Zhen reminded, "If you go far, you'd better bring some walking sticks."

Ming Chi's eyes lit up, he thanked him and raised his hand to take it over, carefully flipping through the pages.

Xun Zhen sat on the sofa, took a sip of coffee, and looked at the young man in front of him.

Even if you look at it entirely from the perspective of the director of the hospital, you have to admit that the family members do take good care of you.

Ming Chi's body had been damaged too badly, of course it was impossible to recover to the level of a normal person in just one month.

But sitting in a sunny room like this, Ming Chi was sitting opposite him, even if he was only wearing a simple shirt and trousers, his complexion and demeanor no longer looked like a patient at all.

Xun Zhen waited for him to read the results of the re-examination, and asked guessingly, "Have you already started to read the letters you left before the operation?"

Ming Chi put down the paper in his hand, slightly bent his eyes, and nodded: "Yes."

"There was a debate in the team about it. Some people think you don't need to watch it, some people think it's better to watch it."

Xun Zhen said: "I prefer the latter. There is absolutely no need for you to go back to your old life, but you have to live it."

Leaving Wanghai Villa, sooner or later Ming Chi will meet someone who can recognize him.

Instead of waiting to be unprepared and being drawn into the past that happened in the past, it is better to be prepared and see what you have left to remember before the operation.

"Ordinary patients don't have to worry so much."

Xun Zhen sighed: "Whoever calls this patient so handsome will be recognized wherever he goes."

Obviously, Ming Chi didn't remember that Dean Xun would joke, and when he heard the first half of the sentence, he looked apologetic.Just as he was about to speak, he raised his head in surprise when he heard Xun Zhen say the second half of the sentence.

He wasn't quite used to this kind of straightforward praise, his ears turned slightly red, and he thanked him warmly.

Xun Zhen also clicked to stop, and waved his hand with a smile: "Okay, let's get to know each other again."

"My name is Xun Zhen, and I'm the director of your surgery hospital, and I'm also in your medical team."

Xun Zhen said, "I'm here this time—"

He stopped talking suddenly, looked at Ming Chi's expression: "Are you guessing?"

Ming Chi nodded slightly.

Xun Zhen became interested: "Tell me about it."

Based on his understanding of the patient in front of him, even if the other party left a letter before the operation, he would not go into detail to explain everyone's identity and relationship in detail - and there was no such sufficient time at all.

Rest and sleep before surgery are very important, and frequent headaches and dizziness will consume a lot of energy.Coupled with the side effects of medication and taking turns to check the body, the time available for writing letters is actually quite small.

"What am I here for?" Xun Zhen asked, "What is my relationship with you?"

"Come to check my mental state." Ming Chi said, "That's why I have to look at those paintings. The use of colors and the layout of the picture can all reflect my state of mind to a certain extent."

Ming Chi paused, and added: "You said that I 'wrote' the soundtrack of the video just now, which shows that my state is actually different from a few years ago, and it is not difficult to distinguish."

Xun Zhen put down the coffee cup.He sat up straight and leaned forward slightly: "What else?"

Ming Chi thought for a while: "So it's easy to speculate that you were also responsible for my psychological counseling before. Before the operation, we should have talked a lot, and you also helped me a lot."

"There is one place that is not accurate." Xun Zhen corrected with a smile, "I am completely useless."

Ming Chi also smiled, and he shook his head lightly, showing that gentle stubbornness again: "You helped me a lot."

Xun Zhen looked at the young man in front of him, his expression calmed down, and he stopped chatting with him in circles, and directly took out the psychological assessment scale: "Write it down, and fill in the real answer."

"I heard that you want to read the previous letter, and Mr. Ming is not here. My team is somewhat worried, so I will take a look."

Xun Zhen handed over the few pieces of paper: "Now it seems that this kind of worry is undoubtedly quite unnecessary."

Ming Chi took the scale, still with the same expression as before, shook his head and thanked earnestly.

Ming Chi has been practicing pen control these days, and his right hand has been used quite smoothly, as long as he doesn't use excessive force or takes too long, there will be no problem.

Xun Zhen watched him fill out the form for a while, and then remembered the few episodes of documentaries he had casually clicked on on the way here.

Because I have a good personal relationship with Director Gong, during this period of time, many crews asked me to help.Xun Zhen is also watching every episode with weekly updates, as if he started to get to know the young man in front of him again many years ago.

The identity of the protagonist has been clarified. Although the crew still abides by the guidelines of the documentary and did not give a clear response, the audience actually knows it well.

The timeline of the story begins, which is actually the day when the "flame" in Mrs. Ren's mouth was turned into Luo Zhi by those people.

With Dean Xun's professional instinct, after halfway through the content of the last episode, he already subconsciously wanted to step in to provide assistance.

After Mrs. Ren passed away, Luo Zhi's state should not be left alone.

A 13-year-old child who has lost his only relative, no matter how calm and calm he behaves, how can he be fine.

But the Luo family was still the same, and even the Ren family was dissatisfied with him because of the quarrel about the cemetery. Although they still had contacts after the funeral, they gradually became estranged.

After that, Luo Zhi lived in Wanghai Villa intermittently for two years.As long as Ren's family came on vacation, he would go to the hut or in the car, and if there were many people coming, he would consciously and quietly run out to find a hotel to live in.

In fact, he still remembered Aunt Ren's words very firmly.Concentrate on practicing guitar every day, shut yourself in the room and hone your painting skills, and make snacks when you are tired.Aunt Ren won't come to eat his dim sum again, so he keeps the bad ones for himself...

Xun Zhen skipped a paragraph here.

He really didn't want to match the extra people here, so he temporarily stopped his memory and looked at the scale that Ming Chi was filling out: "Will you still wake up at night?"

"Sometimes, but not often." Ming Chi stopped writing and thought for a while, "I can dream."

Xun Zhen asked, "Do you have many dreams?"

Ming Chi nodded, then smiled lightly: "Most of them are good dreams."

This is also a normal situation in brain surgery.In addition, Ming Chi has lost too many memories, and it is inevitable to use his brain to think about the places that are blank and stuck. Therefore, those memories that were repeatedly traced before the operation are often drawn out.

……

But it's not a bad feeling at all.

Because waking up from a dream, the reality is better than the dream.

He was lying on the bed, and Mr. Shadow was lying next to him, and he could touch it as long as he raised his hand.

"That's good." Looking at his expression, Xun Zhen could probably guess what he hadn't said, "Would you like to wake up three times a night?"

"Yes." Ming Chi's ears were hotter than before, but he still didn't evade the question, and nodded more seriously, "Very willing."

Xun Zhen smiled: "You can't wake up all the time, I'll ask them to adjust your medicine... Well, this is a doctor's job."

He didn't ask Ming Chi to thank him any more, but just signaled the other party to continue filling out the form without disturbing him, took out his phone and sent a few messages.

During the postoperative recovery period, patients need to take drugs that nourish the nerves, and if necessary, sleep aids can also be added to ensure adequate rest both physically and mentally.

Xun Zhen and his team confirmed the adjustment of medication, and crossed out several kinds of medicines in the name of the medicine sent to them, and briefly explained the reason.

The patient's insomnia symptoms are not a matter of a day or two.He has already gone to the hospital and prescribed medicines by himself. Some medicines have been taken by him and have no effect, so he can't use them indiscriminately.

After Luo Zhi completely left Wanghai, she couldn't fall asleep.

He was not yet an adult, so he couldn't drive around, so he went to school according to Aunt Ren's instructions.

The school was worried that he would hurt others. Even he was worried about this, so it was not convenient for him to go to school normally in the past few years.But Aunt Ren has always hired tutors for him, and he has never allowed him to look at the study at home.

Luo Zhi's art skills are very solid, and later she chose a local art academy that is not too famous, but has loose management, good scenery and artistic atmosphere.

In the past three years, except for Luo Cheng, almost no one has seen him.

It was also when Xun Zhen saw this that he realized that Luo Cheng's eager rebuttals at that time were not fake.

Luo Zhi has really been trying to take good care of Luo Cheng.

On the day Xun Zhen went to "cure" Luo's mother, Luo Chengxiu once forced the housekeeper to say what Luo Zhi had said, and later asked the housekeeper to come to the hospital to explain everything clearly.

Later, Luo Chengxiu also fell ill, and he aged rapidly, and he was no longer as vigorous as Patriarch Luo was.

It seems that the sign of aging is that it is easy to fall into the past. No one knows whether he will be annoyed at those times, or have other feelings... But he began to repeat more and more frequently, talking about the original things over and over again, almost All the nurses have already heard it and quickly recited it.

After Luo Chengxiu fell ill, it was already difficult for him to live and live on his own. Coupled with the successive blows, his whole body quickly fell into a slump.Although his thinking ability is still normal, the Luo family has nothing to ask him to use his brain.

Jian Huaiyi was imprisoned, and Luo Jun no longer came to see him.Luo's mother suspected that someone was scolding her whenever she went out, so she could only live by her husband, weeping and repenting at her husband's bedside every day, and he even lost the strength to get angry.

Luo Chengxiu didn't have the strength to get angry, he was supported by the nurse, and he slumped in the wheelchair, muttering and repeating in a low voice over and over again to anyone he could find.

Luo Chengxiu didn't listen at that time, he couldn't even remember Luo Zhi's tone, he could only recall what the housekeeper had repeated.

Luo Zhi said that Luo Cheng has the same temper as her mother, so don't put them together.

Luo Zhi said that Jian Huaiyi would say something to her mother and Luo Cheng, and they would really believe it.

Luo Zhi said that Jian Huaiyi would teach Luo Cheng badly.

Luo Cheng likes to listen to nice words, and is easily swayed by coaxing. As long as it is someone who pleases her, whatever she does is right in her eyes.

Even if Jian Huaiyi really plotted against her and did something unreasonable to her, as long as she said something nice to coax her sister and bought some presents, the previous things would be overturned.

……

At that time, Luo Zhi no longer tried to explain the past.He didn't want to be involved in those endless quarrels anymore, and he didn't want the person he called "mother" to shout and curse at everything when he was sick, even scolding Aunt Ren.

During those few years, Luo Zhi would still return to the Luo family, but only to take care of Luo Cheng.After all, Luo Cheng lost it when he was a child, and he was spoiled after he came back. He will correct the wrong things, and he will finish the troubles he caused, and then lead Luo Cheng to apologize.

"He can teach Luo Cheng well." When Xun Zhen went to check the situation, he was caught by Luo Chengxiu and kept asking, "Why can't even he teach Luo Cheng well?"

Xun Zhen really didn't know what to say, so he waved his hand and asked someone to push Patriarch Luo back to rest.

... If Luo Cheng had been taught to Luo Cheng from the beginning, if Luo Zhi had been leading Luo Cheng all the time, maybe there would have been some changes, but this is just a hypothesis.

This assumption never happened.

Ten-year-old Luo Chi was beaten until he couldn't move. He was thrown into a pile of firewood and fell into a coma for three days. The female college student who was also a victim carried him back and gave him water little by little, barely saving his life.

Many years later, when Luo Cheng knew these things, her first reaction was to blame Luo Zhi, thinking that Luo Zhi almost caused her to fall into the situation in the documentary.

No matter what happened, Luo Cheng's reaction every time was to blame Luo Zhi.

Xun Zhen had always wondered where Luo Cheng's hostility towards Luo Zhi came from, and why she followed her family to resist and dislike Luo Zhi when she clearly knew that her second brother would protect and take care of her—it wasn't until she watched the documentary that she became clear, like Luo Zhi With Zhizhi's teaching method, how could it be possible to prevent Luo Cheng from resisting him.

All of Luo Zhi's impressions of his elders came from Mrs. Ren, so he taught his younger sister the same way.

He will never indulge Luo Cheng unconditionally, and will not agree to anything that he thinks is wrong.He knelt down and reasoned with Luo Cheng little by little, not allowing Luo Cheng to hurt others.

Luo Cheng just made a mistake, and he was about to take his sister to apologize to others.

……

Xun Zhen was aroused by this thought, shook his head, and sighed softly.

Before he came, he also heard that Luo Cheng was confronting Luo Jun in the villa where the Luo family was about to be taken away.

The butler tremblingly went to the hospital to find Luo Chengxiu, and said with a sad face that Luo Cheng was hiding beside his second brother's bed and would not follow him. mortgaged to the bank.

Luo Cheng appeared at Luo's house because the crew had finished filming.She appeared in the corresponding role as the B-angle, but her shots did not appear in any feature films.

The role she plays is really substandard, director Gong strives for excellence, and will not incorporate this level of performance into his work.

……

Luo Cheng didn't seem to realize until now that she had always had a chance.

Even in times of reckoning, she always had a chance.

Gong Hanrou didn't drive her out of the set.Fang Hang and those people intercepted Jian Huaiyi's arrangement and did not ruin her.When Xun Zhen went there that day, his intention was just to make her sober and not to cause trouble for the crew.

At any time, as long as she thinks clearly about what she is doing and what she has done, as long as she really realizes that she has done too many things, as long as she no longer blames her second brother for not coming to save her this time, Instead, she really gave birth to any real guilt and remorse for her second brother - even a little bit is enough.

The people at Huaisheng Entertainment didn't want to force her into a corner.

They didn't let her read the comments about her second brother just to punish and revenge her, to let her see clearly what kind of person her second brother was.

Luo Zhi's original plan was to drive a car to travel, to collect folk songs, and to be a singer and painter who supported himself while wandering.

The Ren family seized Mrs. Ren's tomb, so he was chained there.

After all, he was worried about this younger sister, and wanted to try again, and try to find a way to win this younger sister back from that family.

Just like when the former wife was obviously very angry and annoyed, she still went to Luo's house to knock on the door, and finally explained the matter clearly with the friend who grew up with her, hoping that the other party would get rid of the lies and illusions she had woven for herself. wake up.

Why can't Mrs. Ren persuade Luo's mother, and why Luo Zhi can't teach Luo Cheng well.

Facing those torn photos, Mrs. Ren's bewilderment and powerlessness were the same as the overturned messy cake in front of Mr. Luo.

……

Xun Zhen went back to sit across the table and picked up the coffee cup.

Ming Chi raised his head.

He had just finished writing the scale when he heard Xun Zhen sigh suddenly, thinking that he could answer the question somewhere: "President Xun?"

"It's okay." Xun Zhen took two sips of coffee, "I'm thinking about other things."

Ming Chi blinked.

He just looked at Xun Zhen for a moment, then asked again: "What about me?"

"So god?"

Xun Zhen was a little surprised: "How did you find out?"

Before the operation, the patient himself explained to the psychological counseling team that it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t leave too much information. After the operation is done and his body is healthy, he can also slowly analyze it according to the clues.

Dean Xun didn't pay much attention to it at the time - after all, the time was too tight and things were always too late. He thought he was trying to comfort everyone, but now he found out that the other party was telling the truth.

"Not so clever." Ming Chi suddenly smiled, "I just feel that Dean Xun seems to have something to say to me."

He had already guessed that he and the other party were very familiar before the operation, so he stopped being overly restrained, half-jokingly took the pad and pen that he carried with him, put them on his lap, and got ready to attend the lecture.

He has no travel plans today, and only wears an ordinary white shirt with a well-buttoned neckline. In addition, his hair is still a little shorter than before, making him look younger.

There is no video data of me at this stage in the documentary, but it is still easy to make people unable to help guessing, maybe when he was in school, he was like this now.

Xun Zhen looked at him for a while, rubbed his forehead and said dumbly: "Okay, okay...indeed."

"I do have something to tell you." Xun Zhen took the scale, looked at the quite handsome and fluent signature on it, and read out, "Ming Chi."

Ming Chi smiled: "Yes."

Xun Zhen was also amused by him, and simply changed his words: "Student Ming Chi."

"There is one thing that probably no one would think to tell you...nor would you yourself before the operation."

"Others can't think of it because they don't know that they have to talk about this kind of thing." Xun Zhen said, "You can't think of it because no one has ever taught you about it."

Classmate Ming Chi held the pen and listened to him carefully.

"Everyone is born independent."

Xun Zhen looked at him: "No one owes others, there is no such thing."

"You didn't owe anyone in the past, you gave far more than you got, as for you now and in the future."

Xun Zhen paused, and considered a more appropriate way to say: "You can think that we people, you owe us such a little favor."

As he spoke, he gestured, and the gap between his thumb and forefinger couldn't even poke a piece of paper.Ming Chi bent his eyes, put down his pen, and opened his arms: "There are so many."

Xun Zhen laughed: "It's all right, it's up to you."

Xun Zhen didn't change his mind, but continued: "You owe us favors because we want you to live a better life, so we did something to help you."

Xun Zhen deduced it to him: "So, the way you repay us and live up to us is to live a better life."

Ming Chi slowly blinked his eyes.

He looked at Xun Zhen with a serious expression, as if he was thinking about this question for the first time, and he nodded carefully after a long time.

He was thinking of Huaisheng Entertainment's friends and sister Zhao Lan.He really wanted each of them to live a better life, to let go of all the haze of the past, not to be bound by anything anymore.

Seeing that he listened to it, Xun Zhen stopped talking, just stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "These are not suggestions from a psychiatrist, but from a friend."

Ming Chi's eyes lit up, and he stood up.

He saw that Xun Zhen was about to leave, and wanted to say thank you, but he remembered that his friend was not suitable for such a polite thank you, so he stood there hesitantly.

Xun Zhen put the scale in his bag: "That's right."

"You just said." Xun Zhen asked casually, "How much do you owe us?"

Ming Chi answered every question, and when he heard his question, he opened his arms again.

He found that he had been helped by many people, and it seemed a bit inaccurate to say "owed", but this kindness was so cherished and appreciated that it could not be overstated.

Seeing Ming Chi's movements, Xun Zhen suddenly raised his eyebrows quickly.

Then, without waiting for Ming Chi to react, he threw the briefcase into the sofa, and strode over to hug Ming Chi.

Ming Chi was taken aback by him, and he wanted to back away conditionedly, but found that he didn't instinctively resist hurting others accidentally as he remembered.

I don't know when, the cold and thick clouds that spread from the encounter 13 years ago disappeared without a sound.

"We're all friends, let's accommodate, Captain Ming."

Xun Zhen patted him on the back: "Why are your boat tickets so hard to buy?"
