Luggage Syndrome

On the day of the final exam, Feng Wenxuan did not show up.

The homeroom teacher couldn't get through to his phone, and was very angry. While handing out the papers, he said bitterly: "You will be adults soon, and it's time to learn to be responsible for your every move, or you will regret it in the end." Or yourselves..."

The bell rang for the start of the exam, and the young students picked up their pens and buried themselves in writing.Only Fu Lang didn't even look at the test paper spread out in front of him. He raised his head and stared at the empty seat in front of him for a long time.

Suddenly, he put down his pen, got up and rushed out of the classroom.

"Hey! Fu Lang! Where are you going! Quiet! Give me all to be quiet, don't take the opportunity to whisper, and concentrate on the exam!"

Fu Lang climbed over the wall and left the school, ran all the way, and ran outside the bar that day.

The store door was closed, but unlocked.Fu Lang hesitated for a moment, but pushed the door open.

Outside the store, the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.

The shop was dark and smoky.

As soon as he entered the door, a strong smell of tobacco rushed into his nostrils, causing Fu Lang to cough, which alarmed the young man with arms dozing by the door.

"What?"

Although Hua Arm had just woken up, she was very imposing, and she was not easy to mess with at first sight.

Fu Lang's heart was beating wildly, but he raised his hand, roughly tore off the collar of his school uniform, frowned, and said impatiently: "It's too stuffy here, so I'll go outside to breathe. Don't worry." Stop me, I can still drink."

Huayi looked at him suspiciously, and saw that although he was wearing a school uniform, he didn't carry a schoolbag, and he didn't go to school early in the morning, which was not a good thing, so he waved him to hurry in.

Fu Lang breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and quickly walked into the bar.

In broad daylight, the music volume in the bar is still very loud.

There were a few drunks at the bar, and a lot of people were lying in a mess on the small booths beside it, and a few empty wine glasses were scattered on the table beside it.

Fu Lang approached lightly, using the dim light to identify each one carefully.

There was no Feng Wenxuan in it.

No one was found, Fu Lang was a little at a loss, glanced at the restroom beside him, recalling Feng Wenxuan's words that day, he frowned and walked towards the restroom.

There was an indescribable smell in the bathroom. In the stench of excrement and vomit, there seemed to be a burning smell and a pungent sour smell.

"Wenxuan? Are you there?"

Fu Lang called a few times, but didn't hear a response. He wanted to leave, but he heard some movement in the compartment, so he held his nose and pushed open the compartment doors one by one.

The last compartment is very spacious, without a toilet, like a cleaning room, but there are cigarette butts thrown all over the floor, and scattered small plastic bags.

In the innermost part of the compartment, there was a person sitting quietly.

The man hung his head, but held a small plastic bag tightly in his hand.The shirt on his body had been torn into several holes, but Fu Lang still recognized at a glance that it was the one Feng Wenxuan was wearing that day.

"Wenxuan!"

Extremely anxious, Fu Lang rushed to Feng Wenxuan's side and was about to pull him up when Feng Wenxuan suddenly raised his head.

Feng Wenxuan's eyes were black and bloodshot, but they were empty and lifeless. His gaze stayed on Fu Lang for a while, then drifted to Fu Lang's side, stared blankly at the sky for a while, and then turned back to him.

"Wenxuan?"

Feng Wenxuan's appearance was too weird, Fu Lang's hair stood on end under his stare, resisting the urge to turn around and run away, he stretched out his hand again.

But when he stretched out his hand, Feng Wenxuan suddenly widened his eyes and shouted:

"do not come!"

Fu Lang took a few steps back in fright and stood there bewildered, Feng Wenxuan shouted hysterically again:

"You guys are enough! It's been one night, I know I'm finished, I'm completely finished, please, let me go..."

Feng Wenxuan buried his head in his bent knees, tightly circled himself with his hands, and the tall boy shrank into a small ball, like a helpless child.

Fu Lang was confused and asked:

"Wenxuan, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Feng Wenxuan didn't respond, Fu Lang took another step slowly, but Feng Wenxuan noticed it immediately, raised his head, his red eyes were still full of tears, his eyes were fierce and gloomy, but what he looked at was not Fu Lang, but the air beside him.

Feng Wenxuan's eyes made Fu Lang terrified, his voice trembled, and he begged in a low voice:

"Mosquito coil, look at me, it's me, Langzi..."

Hearing Fu Lang's name, Feng Wenxuan trembled slightly, his turbid eyeballs slowly rolled, and his sight finally fell on Fu Lang.

"Langzi...?"

"it's me!"

"Of course I know it's you, and Tudou, you two have been with me all night, haven't you gone back yet? Hahahaha..."

Feng Wenxuan's hoarse laughter echoed in the quiet bathroom, making Fu Lang's hair stand on end.

Feng Wenxuan laughed for a while, and his voice slowly became crying:

"You guys, why do you come to this kind of place? Why do you come to me? I beg you, oh, you all go back, this is not the place you should come..."

Feng Wenxuan cried and cried, and suddenly clutched his chest in pain, and began to vomit violently.

He vomited loudly, but he only vomited out a small amount of pale yellow gastric juice mixed with some bright red liquid.He was already sobbing because of his emotional breakdown, and now he was coughing because of the vomit, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Wenxuan, are you okay, calm down, let's go back together, shall we?"

Fu Lang was impatient and boldly stepped forward to grab Feng Wenxuan's arm, but was thrown away abruptly.

After Feng Wenxuan vomited, his sanity seemed to clear up a little, and he leaned against the wall on his back and said in a low voice:

"Go back? I can't go back, I can't go back to anything... I know, I'm different from you, you are excellent, have dreams, and abilities... But I, I'm just a child that no one wants, what? None, I just want to stay in this place and forget everything with alcohol..."

Feng Wenxuan raised his hand and stared at the white powder in the small plastic bag in his hand.

He smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Last night, someone added something to my glass...then all night, I don't know what they ate, sucked, slapped...but I was very happy , I haven't felt so happy for a long time..."

Fu Lang stood there sluggishly. Feng Wenxuan's words made the 17-year-old feel unprecedented despair.

"Langzi, I can't go back. I feel so uncomfortable, my whole body feels so uncomfortable, but all I know, the only things that can free me are these—"

Feng Wenxuan suddenly raised his head and inhaled all the white powder into his nose.

When Fu Lang came to his senses and rushed to stop him, Feng Wenxuan had already thrown away the empty plastic bag, closed his eyes, and leaned against the wall contentedly.

Fu Lang had never felt so helpless.

His good brother, in front of him, drifted away on the road of no return.

Fu Lang hesitated for a long time, finally made up his mind, took out his cell phone from the twitching Feng Wenxuan's pocket, and dialed 110.

Just as Fu Lang hung up the phone, Feng Wenxuan, who was originally relaxed, suddenly clutched his chest in pain, and fell straight to the ground.

Fu Lang was taken aback and quickly helped him up.

It was only after touching Feng Wenxuan's hand that Fu Lang realized that his body temperature was very high, and his muscles were tense, as stiff as iron.

Fu Lang quickly picked up his phone again and called an ambulance.

The few minutes until the ambulance arrived were the longest minutes in Fu Lang's life.

"Langzi...my head hurts, my chest hurts, my whole body hurts..."

"Hold on, the ambulance is coming soon."

"Langzi, where are you, I can't see you, I can't see anything..."

Feng Wenxuan's voice was weak, but it made Fu Lang feel heart-piercing pain.Not caring that Feng Wenxuan was still covered in filth, Fu Lang hugged him forcefully.

"I'm here, mosquito coils, I'm here."

"Langzi, I might die soon, I'm so scared..."

Feng Wenxuan's voice gradually dropped, and his breathing became slower and slower.

Fu Lang's face was full of tears, and he hugged him tightly.

Feng Wenxuan smiled, raised his hand hard, clenched it into a fist, and pressed it lightly on Fu Lang's chest, his voice was barely audible: "For me, watch out, Tudou... don't let him, follow me..."
