The man in the mirror smiled evilly, and said to Ji Nian: "Why don't you fight back? Your father is not as good as when he was young. Now, ten of him are not your opponent."

Ji Nian lowered his gaze, then quickly looked into the mirror, and said helplessly, "I can't."

The person in the mirror was obviously startled for a moment, and then smiled contemptuously at him: "Why? Are you a coward?"

"No." Ji Nian supported the countertop of the sink, lowered his head, thinking about how to explain, "Do you know..."

He licked his bloody lower lip, and slowly organized his words: "A dog is used to being tied... Even if the rope is tied to a branch, it doesn't know how to break free."

"Oh?" The man in the mirror said in disbelief, "Then what were you thinking when he hit you just now?"

Ji Nian recalled for a while, after a moment of confusion, he said truthfully: "I want to kill him."

"Yes, it would be great to kill him." The man excitedly raised his voice in his ear, "Kill him, he is not worthy to be your father, and your favorite mother will praise you for it."

Ji Nian was silent for a while, as if he was seriously considering the other party's words, and finally smiled slowly.

He looked at the mirror again, as if he had reached some kind of secret agreement, raised his eyebrows briskly and happily, and said, "Okay."

The sound of broken porcelain came from the same floor, and Ji Nian suddenly woke up. His first reaction was to look at the closed bathroom door to make sure that it was locked and he was safe, and then he looked at the mirror in front of him.

There is only a panicked and helpless face in the mirror.

Ji Nian wiped his face and regained some sanity. He had an intuition that something was wrong, and vaguely realized that it seemed to have happened again just now.

He quickly turned on the faucet, leaned down and splashed water on his face, the wound was aching under the washing of the water.

After wiping off the drops of water with his hands, he took the medicine bottle from the shelf next to it, quickly opened the lid, poured a handful of medicine into his palm, and swallowed it all with the water flowing from the tap.

After taking the medicine, Ji Nian's heart began to beat non-stop.

He walked back and forth in front of the mirror anxiously, pushing back his wet bangs, forcing himself to calm down.

But there are always different people flashing behind the mirror, laughing wildly, crying, irritable, or melancholy, making him restless for a moment.

Ji Nian can control himself not to look in the mirror, but he can't control those noises from entering his ears.

Until he was so quarreled that he had a splitting headache and finally couldn't take it anymore, Ji Nian suddenly yelled and punched the mirror.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the mirror broke through cracks and cracked into many fine pieces at the same time.

Countless chronologies are reflected in countless fragments, all with different crazy expressions.

Ji Nian didn't know what to do, a deep despair swept over him, almost engulfing him.

He kept backing away from the mirror, shrunk to the door, squatted down slowly, and suppressed a low growl from the back of his teeth, like a besieged cub.

Ji Nian curled up in embarrassment and covered his ears, not wanting to hear those noisy voices again.

But at this moment, he smelled a vague aura, cold and clean, and in an instant, a ray of light was carved out of the boundless abyss.

Ji Nian was startled, looked at his right hand, then leaned forward and sniffed his fingers.

...It's Lu Xi.

Just an hour ago, this hand touched Lu Xi's hair.

When Ji Nian said that he liked Lu Xi, he was not lying.

Ji Nian likes Lu Xi's breath.

Strong, calm, makes him feel very safe.

It seems that as long as you stay by Lu Xi's side, you won't get hurt.

Ji Nian greedily sniffed the remaining breath between his fingers, like a big starving dog, imagining that Lu Xi was by his side.

It wasn't until the smell became weaker and fainter that he couldn't smell it anymore, then he frowned irritably.

Then he thought of something, Ji Nian pulled the clothes on his arm, turned his head and smelled it.

Although it is very light, it still has the taste of Luxi.

As if he had found a treasure, he quickly took off his coat, and after making a ball, he couldn't wait to bury his face in it.

Ji Nian took a deep breath...

The world has finally become quiet.

***

after an hour.

Aunt Chen cleaned up the mess on the first floor, went upstairs, and entered Ji Nian's room.

She used the spare key to unscrew the bathroom door, and when she pushed it open, she stood by the door and was stunned.

Aunt Chen saw that Ji Nian was lying on the ground curled up on his side, falling asleep with a ball of clothes in his arms.

***

Lu Xi returned to the lobby of the apartment building, frowned, and walked forward with her head down.

When he was about to approach the elevator, the sound of flipping paper in front of him caught his attention.

Lu Xi regained consciousness and looked up.

I saw a long-haired woman squatting under the mailbox next to the elevator, with envelopes and leaflets scattered around.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the woman turned her head, and she happened to meet Lu Xi's eyes.

As soon as they met, both of them froze for a moment.

The woman smiled at Lu Xi with some embarrassment, and then accelerated the speed of collecting letters on the ground.

Because Lu Xi didn't know this woman, and he didn't have the leisure to help others, he went straight to the elevator and prepared to go upstairs.

Unexpectedly, when he lowered his head, he happened to scan an envelope at his feet, and the addressee had the word "Lu Xi" written on it impressively.

"..."

Lu Xi tilted her head and took a look, then bent down to pick up the envelope.

After confirming that it was a letter addressed to him, he looked at the other envelopes scattered on the ground. Not surprisingly, he saw his name in it again.

Lu Xi had no choice but to walk over, half squatted down, and picked among the envelopes on the ground.

The woman noticed the movement beside her, and turned her head to see Lu Xi holding the letter in her hand. After a moment of bewilderment, her face blushed instantly.

"These..." the woman said in embarrassment, stroking the bangs on her forehead, and said, "I came down to clean up the mailbox, but accidentally swept the letters in the mailbox next to me, and now they are all mixed together, so I just ...Excuse me...is the square 1802 yours?"

Lu Xi lives in "1802".

He gave a light "hmm" expression.

The mailbox of the original owner had probably never been cleaned, it was jammed to the brim, and there were letters left outside, so it was not surprising that it was swept down.

"Ah, that's really embarrassing." The woman was embarrassed again, she handed the stack of letters she had sorted out to Lu Xi, and said, "These are all yours, I'll deal with the rest, it should be almost the same. "

Lu Xi took the stack of envelopes, looked at the strange woman, and finally noticed her appearance.

It was a fresh and elegant face, with straight bangs and a pair of impressive eyes, revealing kindness and innocence.

When she just stared at people with her eyes wide open, it was a bit confusing for people to guess her real age.

Presumably a college student.

Lu Xi asked casually, "Are you new here?"

He guessed that the box he saw at the elevator entrance in the afternoon belonged to the woman in front of him.

The woman blushed, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, I just moved the house, and I'm not familiar with this place yet..."

She paused, looked up at the mailbox, and said, "Actually...we live very close, I live in 1804."

1804 is next door to Luxi.

It turned out to be a neighbor, Lu Xi nodded knowingly.

"My name is Meng Haiwei, what about you?" The woman picked up a few more envelopes and handed them to Lu Xi, her attitude was much more cordial than when they first met.

"Lu Xi."

"Lu Xi? Haha... You really have a lot of letters." Meng Haiwei joked lightly, "I squatted here for a long time... Oh, by the way, I saw you outside with a boy just now. Is it your friend?"

Lu Xi drooped her eyelids halfway, looked aside lazily, and said, "That's right."

Meng Haiwei glanced at Lu Xi, seemed to understand something, and said with a smile: "Oh... I thought you were on good terms, that boy should take good care of you."

Hearing this, Lu Xi froze for a moment, then looked at Meng Haiwei.

Meng Haiwei's eyes were very agile, as if she could read minds. Before Lu Xi opened her mouth, she already knew what the other party wanted to ask.

Meng Haiwei squatted on the ground in a leisurely manner, looked directly at Lu Xi, smiled slightly, and said: "Hey...the way one person looks at another person is impossible to pretend, the boy's eyes looking at you are very tolerant and gentle, Maybe... there are still some dependencies, so I guess you have a good relationship."

"But it's not." Lu Xi denied it mercilessly.

"Oh." Meng Haiwei patted her forehead exaggeratedly with one hand, said "tsk tsk" twice, and said to herself, "It seems that my micro-expression course in college was for nothing, and I missed it."

Meng Haiwei took a glance from the corner of her eye and saw that Lu Xi was looking at her, so she blinked her left eye mischievously and said, "Since I've covered this, let me introduce my business by the way."

As she said that, the woman took out a business card from her pocket, handed it to Lu Xi with both hands, and solemnly said with a sigh of relief: "Graduated with a master's degree in applied psychology, I am currently working as a part-time psychological counselor. If you are free, you can come to my house for a sit-down. Please come and see me more in the future." Advise."

At this moment, Meng Haiwei exudes a kind of weirdness that does not match her age and appearance, and she looks a little cute.

Lu Xi glanced at the business card and saw the word "psychological consultation", but didn't reach out to take it, and said, "Thank you, I'm not sick."

Meng Haiwei directly inserted the business card into the stack of envelopes in Lu Xi's hand, giggled, and said, "Keep it, in case you need it someday?"

Lu Xi: "..."

Are you sure it's not cursing him?

***

Lu Xi took her letter and went upstairs first.

When he was in the elevator, he looked through and found that most of them were utility bills and bank statements.

One of them contained a debit card sent by the bank. Lu Xi glanced at it and put the letter in the back row.

Anyway, he has no money, and it's useless to ask for a debit card.

After getting out of the elevator, Lu Xi walked towards the door while flipping through the letters, but found nothing worth noting.

He opened the door of the house, turned on the light, and threw a stack of letters on the cabinet, ignoring them.

Just at this moment, a letter slipped out of it, and the too blank cover caught Lu Xi's attention.

Lu Xi closed the door, took out the letter strangely, flipped through it back and forth, and found that there was no logo of any organization.

The back is blank, only the words "There is nothing new under the sun" are written on the front in neat italics.

The handwriting is vigorous, it should be from the hand of a man.

Leaning her back against the door, Lu Xi opened the letter, took out the neatly folded paper in three sections, and opened it for inspection.

I saw only two short lines on the paper——

"Honey, I know everything about you, including what you have done, what you are doing, and what you are going to do. Don't try to evade your responsibilities. The fate was finalized that evening. I will always watch you and supervise you. Have mercy on you, and remember, bad boys who break the rules will be punished."

In addition, there is a red jingle cat seal in place of the signature.

Lu Xi's expression gradually became tense, and he read it twice in a row.

Fate was finalized early that evening...

Thinking of something suddenly, Lu Xi suddenly raised his head, accompanied by a kind of dense fear rising from the back of his neck.

The front window was wide open, and the white curtains fluttered in the wind.

For a moment, Lu Xi only felt that there were eyes all around him, hiding in the dark and wantonly spying.
