Mad Dog - Chapter 42

     After listening to Jiang Qi’s words, Zhiqi did not answer.

    The room was dead silent, the girl stared at him and asked stubbornly: “I’m asking you, have you ever thought about me?”

    Jiang Qi couldn’t help closing his eyes.

    If you want to, how can you not want to? He nodded slowly.

    “No, you don’t.” Zhiqi smiled bitterly and shook her head: “If you liked me so much, you wouldn’t do that.”

    Jiang Qi’s heart squeaked, and he stood up to explain, but the girl’s soft hands covered his lips.

    “Shh.” Zhixi looked at Jiang Qi, and in the other’s panicked eyes, the smile on the corner of her lips was slightly bitter: “But I still like you very much.”

    The girl’s confession at this moment was abrupt to the extreme, and Jiang Qi’s heart suddenly jumped.

    In any case, he didn’t let Jiang Qi really commit a crime, nor let his hands get blood. And Jiang Qi’s approach is precisely the one she admires the most – girls don’t hate teenagers with criminal records, they only hate hypocrites without arrogance.

    The girl’s sudden intimacy and expression made Jiang Qi too late to be pleasantly surprised, and only worried: “You…forgive me?”

    “I’m still a little angry now, but maybe I can, just,” Zhixi looked at him fixedly: “I want you to promise me one thing.”

    Jiang Qi didn’t ask anything, just nodded.

    No matter what Zhiqi wants him to do, he will agree.

    It’s just that Jiang Qi didn’t think that what Zhiqi asked him to promise was hospitalization.

    In Lin Lan’s fifth courtyard near the river, the teenager was wearing a blue-brown striped hospital uniform, leaning against the bedside, looking thin and thin, only a pair of eyes looked puzzled to help him finish Zhiqi who came back after hospitalization.

    He always felt that what to say about the hospitalization made people feel inexplicably trapped in a ‘cage’.

    “Yes.” However, Zhiqi’s attitude was not negotiable. She smiled and handed Jiang Qi the porridge she was carrying: “Be obedient and stay for a month.”

    It is true that Jiang Qi does not have any physical problems that require hospitalization, but his nerves and psychology need to be planned in the hospital to start recuperation.

    Zhi Qi asked the doctor, Jiang Qi is not incurable.

    It’s just a mental illness, and treatment is always a long process.

    Jiang Qi was a little unhappy, but after all, he agreed to Zhiqi, so he didn’t resist.

    He just lowered his head and asked sullenly like a tantrum child: “What about a month later?”

    “One month later…” Zhixi smiled: “Let’s talk about it.”

    She believes that Jiang Qi will change a lot in this month, and it is not a bad idea to be discharged by then.

    Because in the twenty-one years of his life, the teenager has rarely lived a “normal” or “ordinary” life.

    From the continuous abuse and **** in his youth, to the jail time, to the confusion in the entertainment industry… He didn’t stop for a day.

    Zhi Qi really hoped that Jiang Qi would be able to live a normal life for a few days in the sanatorium with beautiful mountains and rivers.

    There are no ill-intentioned paparazzi here to interrupt, just the quiet and soft atmosphere, just the two of them. What’s more important is that the hospital has to register when going out. She is the emergency contact person, so that she is not afraid that Jiang Qi will sneak away again.

    “Don’t worry.” The little girl sat opposite the boy, stretched out her paws and rubbed his face: “I’ll come to see you after class.”

    Zhiqi suddenly mentioned the word ‘class’, and Jiang Qi remembered that he had a dream of supplementing his education to complete his studies.

    Jiang Qi didn’t want to worry Zhixi, so he nodded with a smile.

    After a while, he didn’t know what to think, and added: “Don’t delay your studies.”

    “No way.” Zhixi held her chin in her small hand, and blinked with her big dark eyes, “We’re going to have a holiday soon.”

    At the beginning of January, the winter vacation is almost half a month away.

    Jiang Qi was stunned after hearing this, and murmured: “Is it so fast?”

    “Yes, it’s almost the new year.” Zhiqi smiled and said softly: “Jiang Qi, this year has passed, and all the bad luck will pass.”

    Everything will be alright when spring blooms.

    She will always be with him.

    Zhiqi took Jiang Qi’s car key and house key, and decided to go to Jiang Qi’s house to pack some daily necessities for him according to the location map he gave.

    The house where Jiang Qi lives now is still rented by Qiu Mi before. It is in the Huxinting neighborhood in the bustling area of ​​​​the Dongcheng District. Bring it into the circle and rent it for two years.

    There is still just over a year left in the calculation, and it stands to reason that the house should be returned and the rent returned to Shen Lei.

    When Zhiqi asked, Jiang Qi just shook his head: “Forget it, don’t make him angry.”

    He has caused Shen Lei a lot of trouble this year and made him angry. Now that he has retired, don’t bother him with these trivial things.

    The money for renting a house is only a drop in the ocean for Shen Lei, but if he really returns it, it will make Shen Lei feel that he does not treat him as a friend.

    Not so.

    In Jiang Qi’s heart, Shen Lei and Qiu Mi are his rare friends, and he doesn’t want to disappoint his friends.

    Zhiqi walked into the Huxinting Community and entered the building, entered the password in front of the door that Jiang Qi said.

    Then the little girl subconsciously glanced at the environment where Jiang Qi lived.

    There are no houses less than 115 square meters in this high-end community. Jiang Qi lives alone in a huge space, with a good decoration style and all kinds of furniture, but… it is deserted, said Not out of the deserted.

    I don’t know if it’s because the furniture in the house is cool tones of black, gray and white, or because the owner of the house hasn’t come back for a few days.

    Zhi Qi sighed softly, looked around, and went to Jiang Qi’s bedroom to help him pack his clothes.

    She had already predicted that Jiang Qi would not have something as ‘home’ as a suitcase, so she had prepared a small trolley case in advance, and she didn’t know if it was enough.

    It seems that what she was worried about before is completely nonsense, Jiang Qi’s wardrobe is empty, and there are not many clothes at all.

    Compared to ‘not being able to fit’, now the little girl is worried about not being able to fill it up.

    Does this mean that Jiang Qi doesn’t consider this place to be a home at all, but just thinks it’s a ‘place to stay’.

    Just like Yan relocating to the south, all the journeys he experienced on the way are just habitats, Zhixi thought about it, and couldn’t help showing a bitter smile.

    She put the few clothes in the teenager’s wardrobe into the box, then went to the bathroom to pack some necessities such as toothbrushes, razors, etc., and then opened the box intend to leave.

    Just passing by the living room, Zhiqi was attracted by the medicine bottle on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

    Zhi Qi hesitated for a while, then loosened her fingers holding the trolley case, and walked towards the sofa.

    This sofa is a soft leather imported from Italy, the kind that will have wrinkles on it after sleeping for a long time, but when she got closer, she found that there were shallow wrinkles on the gray leather surface, there were already so many No one is here… It seems that Jiang Qi sleeps more often on the sofa than on the bed.

    Zhixi shook her head helplessly, sat down and looked down at the medicine bottle on the coffee table. There was a lot of English on it, but Zhixi recognized it as a painkiller.

    It is not an ordinary pain reliever, it is a prescription drug that only a doctor can prescribe.

    People who use this painkiller are generally unbearable in pain.

    Zhiqi suddenly remembered the scene she saw when Jiang Qi was in the hospital that day when she took off the thin sheet on Jiang Qi and unbuttoned his shirt.

    There are countless scars on the white and thin body of the boy.

    In the dream, Jiang Qi was still the teenage boy who was abused and beaten by people with blurred faces, but she could only watch, unable to help, she could only watch… Zhi Su was awakened from the dream crying.

    Crying non-stop in the middle of the night, Meng Chunyu was frightened by her. She came over to the bed and put her arms around her, coaxing her and saying: Don’t be afraid of nightmares, dreams are all lies.

    Unfortunately, Chun Yu didn’t know that her nightmare was not a lie, it was real.

    Zhi Qi finally understood why, in the hottest July and August days in Lin Lan, Jiang Qi always wore long-sleeved trousers, she looked hot, and said he should wear Thinner, should wear short-sleeved shorts.

    Now that I think about it, it’s really naive.

    Jiang Qi just didn’t want to show his scars that couldn’t be covered.

    She sniffed, and couldn’t help laughing at herself – she seemed to have become a crybaby recently, always crying, what a shame.

    But…she really loves Jiang Qi.

    Zhi Qi resisted the sourness in her eyes, glanced at the table to see that there was no paper drawer, and opened the drawer of the coffee table to take a few pieces of paper to wipe her eyes.

    However, as soon as the drawer was opened, the contents inside made Zhiqi even cry.

    There are many, many medicines, and the medicine bottles in a drawer are different in size and bottle body.

    Jiang Qi said that he has been taking medicine since he was released from prison.

      in the box.

    She has to go back and ask the doctor about what kind of medicine Jiang Qi is taking!

    Only when the medicine bottle was taken to the end, the fingertip touched a hard object.

    —is a little wooden dolphin.

    Carved from sandalwood, it can’t be said to be exquisite, and even a little stupid to dull cuteness.

    But this dolphin, Zhiqi remembered that he gave it to him.
