Xia Tingwan didn’t sleep for most of the night. When he got up to wash the next day, he inadvertently saw his face in the mirror. He saw dark circles under his eyes, haggard to a frightening degree, and the scar on his right face was even worse because of his dim skin color.

 

 

His disgust for himself stirred up again with familiarity.

When he was a child, he felt inferiority complex. 

Because he was poor, his clothes were always worn out. One winter, his boots had a hole, and his family had no money to buy new ones. He had to stamp his feet hard every day when he walked to school, so as not to freeze his feet.

 

His childhood was without color, he was like a gray mouse, hiding in various corners every day.

At school, no children liked him. When he enters the classroom, everyone’s laughter would stop for a moment, and then their eyes turn to him, filled with strange gazes.

Every time he thought of the scene, he would feel a spasm in his stomach.

Su Yan touched his head and said, “I heard that the best way to eradicate an inferiority complex is to find someone who loves you and make love unrestrainedly.”

It was not until he married Su Yan that he fully understood the meaning of that sentence.

 

Recently after marriage, he was narcissistic to the point of inflation. 

Even just casually looking at the mirror, one cannot help but feel so ethereal that lights shine unto you.

He liked his eyebrows and eyes for the first time; having thought he looked good when he laughed and ate.

At that time, he was like a small male peacock who experienced his first estrus. He was novel and proud; he wanted to show his vibrant tail to the world, hiis vigorous lust and vitality flowed through his veins.

Love is beauty. 

Xia Tingwan looked at the mirror and the light in his eyes was gradually dimmed by the flooding memories. The left side of his face, no matter how it was covered, would still be hideous.

He turned and walked out of the bathroom, he wore a coat with gloves, and put on sunglasses, then went downstairs.

Zhao Nanshu had the car ready and was waiting for him. When he saw him sitting, he threw a wrapped tuna sandwich. While driving, he said, “Boss, my friend made an appointment with me. He’s an inside staff of the Pediatric Department of Ren’ai Hospital, in charge of registration files. I’ll go snooping around, I’ll call you after, and you can tell me anything you want to ask about Wen Zichen temporarily.”

Xia Tingwan was holding the sandwich with no appetite. Hearing Wen Zichen’s name, he suddenly felt a burst of discomfort, he pinched the sandwich tightly and didn’t speak. 

Xia Tingwan frequently came here for laser treatment. Before the laser shot, the doctor applied cold cream on his face. When he laid down, Xia Tingwan felt numb from his face to his brain.

The laser machine was raised, and he closed his eyes. In his mind, he remembered Su Yan’s action of holding Wei Zichen’s waist that day, and what Wen Zichen said to Su Yan: Brother Yan, I’ll go up and accompany Ning Ning.

 

He seemed to have two completely different lines running in his mind. For a moment, he seriously thought about who Ning Ning was, and for another, he couldn’t help but pay attention to the tone of Wen Zichen when he called Su Yan “Brother Yan”, voice soft and a little dependent.

After the removal treatment, Zhao Nanshu happened to call Xia Tingwan, who went out listening to him. 

“I don’t think there’s anything to check. It’s all normal,” Zhao Nanshu said discouragedly on the other end of the phone: “Wen Zichen is a nursing major at N University. After graduating the year before, he directly entered the Pediatric Department of Ren’ai. He usually has a good temper and can get along with children especially. His family conditions are mediocre, he has a brother who is not in good health. He had an ex-boyfriend last year who was quite rich. That’s all boss, what do you want to ask?”

Zhao Nanshu said it was an investigation, in fact, there was not much clue. It was mostly about Wen Zichen’s personal life and feelings.

“Ah yes,” Zhao Nanshu added before Xia Tingwan and said, “And he seems to be paying extra attention to a VIP patient recently, so he only comes to work two days a week. This is relatively rare in Ren’ai, so it was an extra mention.”

“What patient? What’s his name?” 

“Ah… Wait,” Zhao Nanshu obviously didn’t expect that Xia Tingwan was also interested in this. He seemed to cover the phone and said something to the person next to him. After a while, the voice came again “It’s an 11-year-old child, named Yin Ning. He said he was hospitalized because of a car accident.”

Xia Tingwan’s footsteps suddenly stopped: “Yin Ning? He, when did he have a car accident?”

“Yes.” Zhao Nanshu didn’t realize what was wrong. “”This also needs to be known — wait, it’s going to be checked.”

Xia Tingwan stood in the corridor of the hospital holding his mobile phone. Yin Ning, Ning Ning, a pediatric nurse, Zhou Yang saying that it hurts people. 

These threads of clues constantly intersected in his brain. In less than a minute of waiting for Zhao Nanshau’s answer, he seemed to be waiting for his own trial. He could clearly hear his own heartbeat, rapidly and violently beating in his chest that seemed ready to jump out.

“Boss, I found it. He was admitted to the hospital about 11 p.m. on March 15 this year.” When Zhao Nanshu said this, his voice suddenly went wrong. “On March 15, boss, is this not your… Fuck, what’s going on?”

Before he could finish, Xia Tingwan’s phone had fallen to the ground, leaving only Zhao Nanshu’s anxious voice ringing from the phone repeatedly. “Hello? Boss? Hello? Boss are you still there?”

Xia Tingwan didn’t pick up his phone. He covered his face and knelt heavily on the cold floor of the hospital, dropping.
