Hidden Assassin

The small clinic is located at the crossroads a few blocks away. It was here several years ago when this area was not yet developed. Over the years, the city has developed, and buildings with high land prices have been built around it, forming a large area. The residential-based area, although the surrounding area has not developed into that kind of noisy and prosperous commercial street due to deliberate planning, the facades on the first floors of each building are also beautifully decorated shops, which can be regarded as a site where every inch of land is expensive. golden location. The small clinic occupies an area of ​​several hundred square meters, and it still stands in the form of a bungalow among the surrounding buildings. It is indeed a bit ostentatious and stands out from the crowd. Of course, it may be more appropriate to say it the other way around.

Although it has always been a one-story bungalow, the small clinic does not look rustic. It was renovated a few years ago and it is already the most beautiful building in the vicinity. The trees on the nearby sidewalk are quite old, and the canopy of the trees will form a beautiful shade in summer, blending into the small clinic. The low wall made of red and white mosaics, the flowerbed outside the clinic, and the design of the entire clinic There is no excessive ostentation, and it is still square in general, but the side facing the street is a transparent floor-to-ceiling window, which is always wiped clean, and the other side is the main entrance, windows, and walls are painted in milky white, orange, and blue. , giving people a feeling of vitality and cheerfulness.

The small clinic is integrated with the vegetation next to it, and there is a circle of transparent glass railings around the roof above, which makes the roof more like a viewing platform. Sometimes doctors, nurses and their friends can be seen eating barbecue on it , basking in the sun or something. In an increasingly alienated city like a "steel forest", this small clinic like a secret garden was originally pursuing a feeling similar to home or summer, but now, it is surrounded by the surrounding environment. I became more and more isolated.

If it is the first time for people passing by here, before paying attention to the signboard of the clinic, they will probably think that this is a cafe or restaurant, or an elegant art store. In addition to helplessness, I may feel a little bit of grievance. When I first decorated it, I just pursued a natural feeling, but because of the changes in the surrounding environment, this feeling has become more and more acute. And even if you notice the signboard of the clinic, people's first impression will be that it is a dental clinic with a high price, but this is not even a dental clinic, it is just similar to some doctors running in some old family members The fees of small clinics in the district are many times cheaper than those of large hospitals, and even because the doctors who attend the consultation are too young, its reputation is not even very good.

Marx said in "Das Kapital": If there is a 10% profit, it can make people crazy; if there is a 50% profit, it will make people desperate; , the capitalists can trample on all the laws of the world.

Occupying the best piece of land at the intersection is actually such a small clinic. It has naturally been coveted by people for several years. Every once in a while, representatives of real estate companies or hooligans will come to the door, but In the past seven or eight years, although the surroundings have changed and the profit of the clinic has not been high, it has always been here, like a stubborn nail shop.

In the past few years, the surrounding environment has been getting better and better, and when the housing prices have become more and more expensive, there have been no guys who really dare to call the door. However, some people with other purposes have never been less.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the street lights on the street and the neon lights of the shops along the road were on like that. There were pedestrians on the side of the road who came out for a walk after dinner, in twos and threes. It's a standard residential area. In front of the closed clinic, a middle-aged man in a suit who seems to be a successful person is making his last effort to date a nurse in the clinic. Generally speaking, he will not be so stalking or reluctant after being rejected. However, this is not the first time that a similar situation has happened to this Japanese nurse named Yuechi Kaoru who still looks like a girl.

During the few years since the clinic was opened, all kinds of male suitors are the most indispensable. Some people are more gentlemanly, sending flowers and dating, and it takes a few months to do it. The roses of the car almost drowned the clinic's gate. Some people were more irritable and called their brothers over to threaten them to fall in love with him. …

To be honest, no matter what the pursuit method is, what I get in the end is only a light and polite rejection. The girl doesn't even make ordinary friends, except for the patients who come to see the doctor and say a few words gently. Once the condition recovers, all she can get is some formulaic answers. If it is a show of love, the answer is even simpler: "I'm sorry, I have someone I like." This sentence is quite certain, and you can also see a touch of happiness from her smile. If you need to add, it is probably One sentence: "I like him very much, and I don't want him to hate me, thank you." This statement is somewhat too frank and embarrassing, but she is Japanese, so it is understandable. As for what some people said "at least we can make friends", they were all ignored, she was a stubborn girl.

Another nurse named Sasha who occasionally appears in the clinic is also often chased by people, but because she does not appear every day, she is still not as popular as the Japanese girl who is resident in the clinic. As for the young doctor attending the consultation, he is probably an unscrupulous person. When he sees the girls in the clinic being entangled, he has always been on the sidelines with bad intentions, and even makes bets with some acquaintances similar to "how long this guy can last" .

This young doctor has a lot of bad tastes. He not only bets on the troubles of his employees, but also shamelessly accepts the snacks sent by others to pick up girls. . And because people send flowers almost every day, the small shop attached to the clinic is never short of flowers to sell, and there is no need to buy them.

When I’m free, I can often see him and Xun happily sitting in the sun, breaking up the bouquets sent by others, wrapping them up one by one, and putting them in flower baskets in the store for sale. The look of wrapping the bouquet with the doctor there seems to be a little happy and satisfied. As long as it is the flower sent by the person who refused to listen to it for the first time, it will be accepted politely. A lower price is first placed on the sales counter.

Using the flowers sent by others to make money to supplement the family... If this kind of behavior is accidentally seen by some suitors, their hearts will probably be broken on the spot and never stick together again. Maybe they will regard Kaoru as someone who tramples on people's hearts Maybe even the devil.

Although as the owner of the clinic, the young doctor named Gu Jiaming has a vicious heart like a devil, full of all kinds of strange and hopeless bad tastes because of boredom. But after some contact, you may realize that this boring man is already married, and as the other half of the young couple, his wife named Ye Lingjing is enough to be called an ideal wife Model, young and beautiful, it is hard to imagine that she is already the mother of an eight-year-old boy. She is an excellent pianist. While she has an elegant temperament, she is not lacking in playfulness and vitality like a girl. The important thing is that for outsiders, she has the morality and conscience that her husband seriously lacks, or... the morality and conscience that this small family generally lacks...

In the early years, she had thought about finding an outstanding boy for Kaoru to be his partner, but in recent years, she seemed to have learned something, and she would feel a little helpless when her husband was annoying Kaoru by the sidelines. , to properly separate some unnecessary troubles for Kaoru. For example, now, she is perfunctory for Xun's successful suitors at the door.

"In fact, I'm afraid Kaoru won't accept your pursuit. She should already have...someone she likes, so she probably..."

Matchmaking is easy to do, and it seems that it is difficult to utter advice about bad marriages, because no matter how nice the words are, they are definitely not words that others will like. However, over the past few years, she actually understands that although Xun never said anything, she actually doesn't like such pursuits, and now she has come to help as a shield, and her mood is indeed a bit complicated, but even though So, she did it anyway.

Of course, although there are many rebellious and uninhibited factors in Lingjing's bones, she has always been gentle on the outside, accepting others, and is very popular wherever she is. When she came forward to help Xun speak, most of the time, the suitors would say a few nice words and then retreat with interest, but occasionally they would encounter the same hardliners in front of them.

Mature, steady, relatively rich in life experience, due to success in certain aspects, she has also cultivated considerable self-confidence. Although she has been divorced once, she has become more clear about what she needs, and understands life and feelings better because of this. Best of all, he's going for it hard and right when most people would just give up. Just like this time, when Lingjing finished speaking, after thinking for a while, he adjusted his glasses and showed a relatively honest smile.

"Actually, I hope you don't feel strange when I say this...During this period, I asked many people about Miss Xun's situation, and they all said that apart from her life in the clinic and some small activities with you, Miss Xun Actually, I don't have any regular boyfriend...Of course, I'm not...uh, I don't mean..."

He smiled and tried to express his sincere thoughts: "Heh... I know that there are many people like me, and everyone is for the good of Miss Xun, but what I want to say is... I treat this matter very sincerely. There is no flippant aspect to this matter, I understand how I feel in my heart, and I know what I want, although I have had such an experience once, and now I have a small army... Heh, I know Miss Xun is very I like children, and Xiaojun also likes her very much, so this won't be an obstacle..."

As he said this, the little fat man next to him also nodded his head vigorously. At this time, another pair of father and son with similar appearance had already approached. The still young father put one hand in his trouser pocket and held the other hand naturally. Holding Lingjing's hand, next to it was a little face that was bruised and purple from a fight, and it still looked harmless to humans and animals after putting on many band-aids. The little boy stood there holding his father's clothes corner with one hand, with eyes in his eyes Shining brightly, looking at the man and his son in front of him, his eyes blinked, and then blinked again.

The middle-aged man didn't feel embarrassed because someone came, he just smiled, waved his hand and continued.

"...Uh, so I will definitely take this relationship seriously. And on the other hand, I have a house, a car, and a regular job in Jianghai, and I also have a certain amount of... oh, I mean, Of course, this is not important, but at least, I have a good foundation in terms of material, at least I can reduce a lot of troubles. I mean, you are all Kaoru's important family members, I hope you can at least give me... a opportunity to start."

Appropriate pauses strengthened his persuasiveness, his calm, calm and unyielding attitude, in some respects, can also be called majestic. Lingjing couldn't help but feel that the man in front of her was a bit difficult to deal with. With such an excuse, it would be no problem for any parent to pass the test. To be honest, being married is not a problem, such a person is more considerate. If it was a few years ago when I and Sasha were ignorant and wanted to find a boyfriend for Xun, I would have nodded without saying a word. But now I still have to help push it away. Thinking about it, my mood is really tangled.

"Uh, I understand, but it's really not another problem. Kaoru...she really already has someone she likes."

As soon as the resentment came up in her heart, she kept such a fresh and sincere smile, and secretly couldn't help pinching the hand of the man next to her. Jia Ming was standing by the side and was enjoying himself while watching the show, but at this time The last time it hurt, he shook it exaggeratedly, looked at the corner of his wife's eyes, and realized that it was obvious that he was going to help testify.

"Oh, oh oh, that's right, that's right, Kaoru has a boyfriend, she has a boyfriend." He nodded at the other party, obviously giving false testimony.

"Uh... huh..." A fool can tell such a non-technical lie, not to mention that he has asked the people around him about these things, but for a while, he didn't know how to say it. It's impossible to say "you're lying" directly, this matter should be tactful. The conversation just started, and I saw the harmless little boy with a Band-Aid on his face tugged at his father's clothes and said innocently and softly: "Dad, didn't you say that if someone else married Aunt Xun Is our clinic going to close?"

"Oh? Did I mention this?"

"Well, Aunt Shasha said the same thing."

The father, who was also harmless to humans and animals, did not change his face, and stroked his chin thoughtfully.

The little boy continued his efforts and continued to speak in such an innocent and whispered voice that everyone could actually hear him.

"Aunt Shasha said that Aunt Xun came to China secretly because she was kicked out by her Japanese family. She didn't even have an ID card, so you asked her to be a nurse. She worked hard and didn't have to pay her wages. You also threatened her that if she sneaked away, you would call the police. So This will save a lot of money... Dad, Dad..." The little boy tugged at the corner of his father's clothes, and continued to whisper, "If you let Aunt Xun go away, will you be embarrassed..."

The unscrupulous and unscrupulous father covered his lips with his hand, and looked at the little boy next to him with eyes like a child prodigy: "I can express so many meanings in one breath..." On the other side, the still young and beautiful mother is like He aged ten years in an instant, and his eyes were a little dazed. And the middle-aged man in front also stayed away.

After a long while, the other side finally said, "I...that...although I've heard of similar things before, but...Miss Xun...does she really not have an ID card..."

How should I answer this kind of thing? Lingjing hesitated for a moment, before opening her mouth, she waved her hand lightly.

"Oh, this kind of thing...it shouldn't be true. Hehe, I will come again, I will come again..."

"Uh, Mr. Tang..."

Lingjing yelled, but the other party had already turned around and left with her son. The night wind was so cold that it was so cold that the middle-aged man could vaguely hear an indifferent voice from behind: "Oh, rustle This is malicious slander, obviously I give her hundreds of dollars in pocket money every month..."

Hundreds of dollars... pocket money...

In the flower garden on the inner side of the wall not far away, little brother Meng, who has been acting as a spy to eavesdrop, is holding his stomach and is about to collapse on the ground. Because he couldn't help laughing, his whole body trembled like he was shaking...

Huh huh huh, huh huh huh—

*****************

The night wind blows, and Ling Jing squats under the lamppost, gently supporting her forehead with one hand. If one looks at it from a distance, the graceful curves may still have an elegant and lonely feeling, and there is some helplessness in the loneliness, of course , probably very few people can guess the reason for the beauty's helplessness. Two men, big and small, are still annoying her.

"Mom, mom." The little boy made the same gesture and secretly poked his mother's waist with his fingers. He inherited his father's harmless temperament and his mother's delicate and cunning face. Of course, sometimes, this cunning It seems too obvious and sharp, which is often a place that makes my father feel a little sorry.

"Mom, mom." Jiaming squatted on the other side, but wrapped his hands around his wife's shoulders, shaking slightly, their cheeks were almost touching together, and he just repeated his son's words softly. For a moment, Lingjing struggled symbolically, but of course it was useless, but when her body was shaking slightly, her son's finger just happened to poke over, exerting a little force on her waist, and she immediately laughed itchy. After laughing, this unbearable woman finally broke out.

"I'm the only decent person in the family, and if I do this, I'll be tormented to death by you sooner or later..." She spoke coquettishly, and stared at her husband fiercely, which was of course meaningless, and then turned her head to stare at the other side My son, the little boy just tickled his mother, he felt a little guilty, his body was leaning back, when he was stared at like this, he accidentally sat on the ground with his buttocks, and then he was picked up and spanked by Lingjing dumbfounded.

"Who taught you to talk like that."

"Didn't you say that too, Mom?"

Lingjing laughed angrily: "That was a joke, don't tell others like that in the future."

"But it's very interesting, and Aunt Xun doesn't like him." The little boy thought for a while, and then seemed to think of something interesting, "Mom, mom, you don't know, a few days ago, it was two months ago The handsome uncle who started to pursue Aunt Xun sent flowers. He was sent by someone from the flower shop. He hid outside the fence to watch Aunt Xun’s reaction. I also hid behind him and watched, and then...fufufufu...then..."

The little boy seemed to have thought of something funny, and he held his stomach and kept laughing, and it took him a long time to calm down: "Then he probably saw Aunt Xun take off the card directly, and the bouquet was placed on the flower counter, and then ...He was completely dumbfounded, he was really dumbfounded, huh huh huh... His jaw just fell off, and his eyes were straight, just like this..."

He made a vivid "stay away" movement, and then continued to laugh while clutching his stomach: "And then, and then I saw him crying, and he stood there, crying all the time, hahahaha..."

The little boy just smiled like this, Ling Jing felt a little helpless, frowned, and kicked Jia Ming next to him, but Jia Ming's expression became serious, and when the little boy who was similar to him in front of him gradually finished laughing, he Then he knelt down and patted the boy's head seriously.

"You have to know, it's because he confessed to your Aunt Xun, and after your Aunt Xun seriously refused, he still refused to listen, that's why the flowers were put on the shelf. In the past, Aunt Xun would accept the flowers sent by other people from flower shops. It is a good thing that someone likes you, and you must be sincere, and you cannot look down on other people's kindness, remember?"

The little boy looked at his father, then at his mother, and nodded seriously: "Well, I remember."

"Okay." Jia Ming stood up, ruffled his hair mischievously, and interrupted the child's serious expression, "Your Aunt Xun is about to clean up, the two of us can drive here."

He turned his head and gestured to Xiao Meng, who was still smiling, and took his son's hand to the nearby parking lot. The voice still came: "However, if this kind of kindness has been seriously rejected, the other party will not accept it." If you are willing to accept it, you are causing trouble to others, and this kind of thing deserves to be laughed at, hahahaha...how did that guy cry, tell me again..."

"That's right, that's right..."

The father put his hands in his pockets and walked a little leisurely. The son was bouncing around beside him. The voices of the two gradually faded away. Ling Jing looked there, with a gentle smile on his lips. After a while, Brother Meng came over from the side: "Jia Ming doesn't look serious, but he is actually quite good at teaching children."

"Actually, most of the time, they are still not serious, and the same is true for Shasha. As a result, when the three of them are at home, it is like fighting a war. Fortunately, there are occasional serious times, otherwise I will bite him to death..."

We are also acquaintances with Brother Xiaomeng, so there is no need to hide anything, Lingjing grinds his teeth, but his smile is still full of happiness.

"It's already very reliable when there are occasional seriousness. I can't do it. I can't be serious about Shuhui."

"When will you take Shuhui to Jiang Hai and let my family take care of her? You can go to and from school with Yunjie. Don't forget that she is the child bride-in-law that my family has reserved, and my family also has a share."

Xiaomeng and Mu Qingqing's daughter is named Meng Shuhui, who was born in the same year as Yunjie, only ten days younger than Yunjie, and played with Yunjie since she was a child. In the past two years, because Xiaomeng Mu Qingqing has been working, Xiaomeng's parents are also a little lonely in the countryside, so they sent their daughter there to study in elementary school. Originally, they could also be placed in Jianghai for grandparents to take care of, but Xiaomeng's idea is Let the daughter go back to spend a period of time with her parents, so that the elderly are not so lonely, and then take over. It is also logical for parents who don't think much about city life to move here in the name of taking care of Shuhui. Then he smiled.

"Well, child brides are a given, but I think it would be a bit early for them to be together after they graduated from junior high school. Wouldn't it be better to finish high school..."

Before he finished speaking, Lingjing turned her head and burst out laughing. The word child bride used to be Jiaming's favorite word, and the story between her, Jiaming, and Shasha was later It has also been made public among friends, and it has been envied and hated by others for a long time. However, every time they are joked like this, Lingjing and Shasha just feel warm in their hearts.

The two were chatting on the side of the road. In the clinic behind, Xun changed into a white dress with a waistcoat and came out with a small handbag. When she walked behind Lingjing, she hugged her gently, resting her chin on her shoulder On the table, like two sisters who are in a good relationship: "Hi, Lingjing."

"Yeah." Lingjing's cheek touched hers, and after a while, she smiled, "That's right, I almost got rid of that annoying guy for you just now, but what, the two were afraid After the guy who is not chaotic in the world makes trouble, all efforts are in vain."

"Um?"

"Is such that……"

The street lights gently enveloped the people below, and the night breeze stroked the light skirts. After a while, a small car drove up. After saying goodbye to Xiao Meng, Ling Jing and Xun got into the car, and Xiao Meng waved his hands and walked towards him In the commercial car parked not far away, the two families live not too far away, and he also came home today to take a ride. Under the street lights, the two cars drove towards the darker distance, one behind the other. It's over...
