Chapter 1 A Simple and Brutal Acceptance

After that "fuck,"

the two young nurses looked a little lost, and Doctor Lin was also stunned.

It was just too simple and crude an acceptance.

Zhou Ze didn't offer any explanation. He simply reached out and uncovered the white cloth covering the girl's head.

It was her. It really was her!

No wonder she didn't have a single injury just now,

not even a scratch on her body.

It wasn't because she was lucky enough to be sitting in the back row.

In fact,

she was the most seriously injured of all the children. The doctor had just been doing everything possible to save her.

Her soul had already drifted out, but she didn't realize it. She was still reminding herself not to smoke in public and comforting the classmates and children who had suffered minor injuries.

In fact,

those children couldn't see her at all.

In the entire hospital,

the only person who could see her

was Zhou Ze!

"Is she dead?" Zhou Ze asked as his eyes darted around.

"Xu Le?" Doctor Lin looked at her husband. She didn't want to pay attention to her husband's profanity just now, because she found that her husband was acting a little abnormal.

"She's not dead yet. Keep saving her, keep trying to save her!"

Zhou Ze suddenly grabbed Doctor Lin's arm, pulled her over, and roared:

"The rescue time limit hasn't been reached yet. She still has a chance to wake up. Keep trying to save her!"

"Sir, sir!"

The two nurses saw Zhou Ze grabbing Doctor Lin so rudely and immediately stepped forward to pull Zhou Ze away. In their eyes, Doctor Lin's husband was acting a little strangely and even showing signs of domestic violence.

Zhou Ze pushed away the two nurses beside him, released his hand, and murmured:

"Where are you? Where are you? Where are you!"

Zhou Ze rushed out. He was running and searching.

Just now, the girl's soul was still wandering among the children, comforting the other children. Now, she had disappeared.

Had she already gone to hell?

She was already dead.

Was it too late?

Zhou Ze was a little lost. He didn't know why he was so agitated, and he didn't know why he was so anxious.

Perhaps it was because of his profession. It was his duty to treat any patient who had a chance of surviving. Moreover, the kind and strong girl had just interacted with him.

"Uncle, are you looking for me?"

A familiar childish voice sounded behind Zhou Ze. Zhou Ze immediately turned around and saw the little girl again.

It was just that the little girl's body was not as solid as before. Now she had become translucent.

"Uncle, I'm a little cold." The little girl hugged her arms and squatted down. "I went to the nurse to ask her to lend me a piece of clothing, but the nurses ignored me. Do they hate me? Am I very annoying?"

Glimmers of light continuously spilled from the little girl's body. Zhou Ze had seen this scene before. It had happened to him.

"Xu Le, come back with me!"

Doctor Lin came over at this time.

The little girl turned her head and looked behind her.

"Don't look!"

Zhou Ze took a step forward and reached out to cover the little girl's eyes. No one knew what would happen when she saw her body lying on the hospital bed.

Would she break down?

Would she realize that she was dead and then dissipate directly?

When Zhou Ze's hand touched the little girl's body, Zhou Ze's fingernails became slightly hot at this time. They didn't grow longer, nor did they turn black, but Zhou Ze felt very hot. At the same time, the little girl's body began to twist, turning into a halo around Zhou Ze's fingertips, and these lights were obviously invisible to the others around.

"Get out of the way, she can still be saved!" Zhou Ze rushed towards the hospital bed again.

"Xu Le!" Doctor Lin's chest rose and fell. The dead were gone. She didn't know what her husband was still rambling on about, and her husband had studied civil engineering and had nothing to do with medicine at all.

This time, when Zhou Ze rushed over, the two young nurses didn't dare to stop him. Zhou Ze lifted the white cloth and placed his hands on the girl's chest.

Yes, that was how he had come back to life.

Your soul is out,

but you can still go back in.

You can live!

After seeing all the light from his fingertips sink into the girl's body, Zhou Ze began to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation, stacking his hands on top of each other and pressing on the girl's chest.

"Wake up!"

"Wake up!"

The two nurses didn't dare to approach and looked at Doctor Lin.

"She's dead."

Doctor Lin walked to Zhou Ze and said.

"The golden time for rescue hasn't passed yet. I always remember the time." Zhou Ze roared as he continued to press, "She can live, she can live!"

Doctor Lin pursed her lips, reached out and pushed Zhou Ze away, and then began to press on the girl's chest with her own hands stacked on top of each other.

"You're pressing too hard. She's injured. A Chun, reconnect the equipment and continue the rescue."

Zhou Ze was pushed away, but he wasn't angry. He just kept staring at the little girl on the bed.

The only fortunate thing was that the parents were probably stopped by the traffic police. There were still so many children making noise outside, and no one noticed what was happening here.

Doctor Lin continued to press, and sweat had already soaked her forehead. She didn't know why she was going crazy with this man, but she didn't know why, she had just seen something unusual in this man's eyes.

And this man was her husband, but today, she couldn't see through him.

The equipment was reconnected, but the display still showed a straight line.

The two young nurses stood beside her, a little at a loss.

Could she not be saved?

Even if he put the soul back in,

could she not be saved?

A sense of loss spread from Zhou Ze's heart.

"Beep... Beep... Beep..."

Just then,

the originally flat line suddenly fluctuated.

Doctor Lin looked at the display in shock.

This,

was it a medical miracle?

……………………

It was already evening when they drove out of the hospital and went home. Zhou Ze sat in the passenger seat, and Doctor Lin drove the car. The two of them still didn't speak.

Silence should be the standard for the relationship between the two of them. However, in the past, it was Xu Le who tried to break the silence, but today, it was Doctor Lin.

"Did you study medicine?"

"No."

"Your technique just now was very professional." Doctor Lin could tell.

"I had some training when I took my driver's license test." Zhou Ze made up a reason.

"But you don't have a driver's license." Doctor Lin frowned slightly.

"..." Zhou Ze.

Well, Zhou Ze silently despised Xu Le again in his heart.

Doctor Lin didn't plan to delve into it further, but just said, "Thank you for your persistence today."

"You don't have to thank me." Zhou Ze waved his hand. As... at least in his heart, he still regarded himself as a doctor. Saving a patient really didn't require thanks.

The girl hadn't woken up yet and was still unconscious, but at least there was hope.

"I'll thank you for that girl." Doctor Lin picked up her phone and looked at it. "It's almost eight o'clock. My parents are still waiting for us to come home for dinner."

Parents?

Zhou Ze suddenly felt a headache.

Was he going to meet his mother-in-law and father-in-law?

The car drove into a high-end residential area. Tong City was close to Shanghai, and geographically located at both ends of the Yangtze River estuary with Shanghai. Although it was not as extreme as Shanghai, where every inch of land was worth a fortune, the housing prices were not very cheap.

Doctor Lin parked the car and walked inside. Zhou Ze followed behind her. The two of them entered the elevator and came out together. Doctor Lin took out a key and opened a door.

The house was nicely decorated, with a duplex layout. In fact, it could be seen from the car that Doctor Lin drove that the Lin family should be well-off.

Of course, his current status as an "live-in son-in-law" was also a testament to this. After all, a family without money or confidence couldn't afford to recruit an live-in son-in-law.

On the sofa in the living room, an old man wearing a sweater with half-white hair was sitting there watching TV. It was a rebroadcast of the news, and he was watching it with great interest.

Even when his own daughter and son-in-law returned, he just glanced at them and said nothing.

"Wanqiu, you're back."

The kitchen door was pushed open, and his mother-in-law stuck her head out. Perhaps Doctor Lin and the younger sister-in-law's height were inherited from their mother. The mother-in-law was very tall. At this time, she was slightly fat, but she was still the kind who could lead the way in the "Sunset Red" square and attract countless old men and grandpas to compete for her attention.

Take notes, highlight, and focus.

Zhou Ze finally knew his wife's full name: Lin Wanqiu.

The mother-in-law's eyes swept over Zhou Ze, and she obviously sank a little.

"Old man, dinner's ready. Wanqiu's back."

"Finally, we can eat." The younger sister-in-law walked out of the study. She waved her fist at Zhou Ze, then pouted, signaling Zhou Ze to pay attention to her parents.

This little gesture was not bad. Although this little girl was a bit savage, she wasn't too outrageous.

Zhou Ze went to the bathroom to wash his hands. While washing, Lin Wanqiu also came. The two of them rubbed their hands carefully with hand sanitizer.

Lin Wanqiu looked at Zhou Ze a few more times, then rinsed her hands and walked into the living room.

Zhou Ze also rinsed his hands, wiped them with a paper towel, and walked out of the bathroom.

Everyone was seated, and Zhou Ze sat down on the chair next to Lin Wanqiu.

The mother-in-law put the rice on the table one by one with a sullen face, and she obviously used more force when putting it in front of Zhou Ze.

Fortunately,

she didn't intentionally not give me rice.

Zhou Ze thought to himself.

"Xu Le, do you think we're not treating you well?" The mother-in-law asked before she even started eating.

"It's pretty good." Zhou Ze replied.

"Then you didn't come home last night. Who were you giving a cold shoulder to..."

"Mom, let's eat. Something happened in his store. He told me about it." Lin Wanqiu said.

The mother-in-law and father-in-law looked at each other, a little surprised that their eldest daughter would actually speak up for this son-in-law, which made them a little uncomfortable. They temporarily forgot to continue their attack.

The younger sister-in-law was also a little surprised when she saw this. Her sister had never really cared about this so-called brother-in-law. Was the sun rising in the west today?

"Let's eat." The father-in-law picked up his chopsticks and gestured, "You eat too." The father-in-law specifically pointed his chopsticks at Zhou Ze.

Well, this behavior was a bit impolite, but it was okay. It signaled that what happened last night was over.

"Wanqiu, eat a piece of braised pork. Mom stewed it for a long time."

The mother-in-law put a piece of meat in the bowls of her eldest daughter and younger daughter, then hesitated for a moment and put a piece of meat in her son-in-law's bowl as well.

Zhou Ze then realized that he hadn't eaten anything all day, from the time he borrowed a corpse to return his soul last night to this morning and noon.

He was not polite,

picked up the meat and put it in his mouth,

then,

Zhou Ze's face froze,

an unexpected sense of nausea came from his heart, and even his stomach began to spasm wildly.

"Ugh..." Zhou Ze gagged directly, as if he was eating poison.

"..." Mother-in-law.

"..." Father-in-law.

The atmosphere at the dinner table

instantly fell to freezing point.
