four year itch

Afterwards, Ye Jia thought back to that day, it was the turmoil, the coldness in the depths of the air, the dazzling scarlet, the sticky and lingering scene.

"Families please sign here!"

When the nurse stuffed the operation consent form into his hand, his consciousness seemed to be still at that intersection.Ye Jia moved his stiff fingers and found that his hand was trembling so much that he could hardly hold the pen.

"I am his mother." A steady voice came from behind.

The consent form for surgery was quickly withdrawn.

Ye Jia turned around and saw Bai Zhuyu bowing his head to sign the consent form for the operation.After signing, she raised her head and looked at him calmly, then sat down on the chair in the aisle. No matter how chaotic the surroundings were, she was the only one who remained calm and composed.

Ye Jia sat down at the corner four seats away from her, clutching the mobile phone that just fell out of Xu Ruibai's pocket and the opal that Xu Ruibai handed over to him.There were some dried blood stains on the opal, Ye Jia wiped it off slowly, staring at its luster silently, as if he had been pulled away from this mundane world.Then, closing his eyes, he put the stone under his lips and kissed it almost reverently.

Resignation to fate should be the deepest despair in the world.

I don't know how long it took until the bell rang, breaking Ye Jia's prayer.When Ye Jia answered the phone, it was a woman's voice.

"Xiaobai, are you coming back for dinner?"

"Hello." As soon as he spoke, Ye Jia realized that his voice was extremely hoarse.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be stunned for a moment, and asked after a few seconds, "Who are you?"

"I am...Xu Ruibai is in the hospital right now."

"What happened?" The other party's tone was a little flustered.

Ye Jia didn't know who the other party was, but judging from the other party's tone, it should be Xu Ruibai's close friend.

"Car accident."

"Car accident! What happened?!"

Ye Jia opened his mouth but didn't know where to start. The person on the other end seemed to feel his embarrassment and asked, "Which hospital are you in?"

"G Central Hospital."

"We'll be right over."

As soon as the phone was hung up, the door of the operating room was pushed open.

Ye Jia stood up holding the handle of the seat, and asked the doctor who came out, "How is he..."

"It's not life-threatening for the time being. The main problem is that the right hand is relatively serious and the tendon is broken. I think he has tenosynovitis. Does he play the piano?"

"He's... a painter."

The doctor frowned, as if he was in a bit of a dilemma: "Painting, that's quite troublesome. The tendon has been connected now, but because it was an impact injury, the wound surface was very irregular, and the nerve in the hand was injured, so it will be difficult to recover. It will be a little more difficult."

"What's the meaning?"

"In his condition, it is basically difficult to do the work that requires the right hand to work hard. If you want to draw..." The doctor sighed, "Let's see how the patient wakes up."

Xu Ruibai, can't draw anymore?

impossible.

Ye Jia quietly looked at the direction the doctor was leaving, he didn't even feel any strong pain, he didn't think about anything, he couldn't think of anything.

His mind was blank, only one thought kept repeating: This is all fake.

For a moment, it was as if an electric current passed through his forehead, the ceiling fell, and the world spun.His legs went limp, he grabbed the chair next to him, and violently vomited, as if he was about to suffocate.Tears gushed out uncontrollably.

Impossible, this is simply impossible!

Xu Ruibai was born to paint, just like people are born to eat.

How can people not eat?

Why is this happening?

God, help me!

Help us!

"Xiao Jia." Ye Jia vaguely heard someone calling him, the voice seemed to come from another world.

Bai Zhuyu squatted down, gently stroked his hair: "Do you think it's worth it?"

"He just wants you to come back to him." Bai Zhuyu's tone seemed distressed.

"You come back to him, and he returns to Xu's house. I can connect him with the best doctor in the world and prepare the most comfortable life for you. He can paint again, and you will never have to run around for a living."

At the cost of free will, get the happy life that everyone dreams of.As long as you don't think about happiness, you will be happy forever.

Ye Jia suddenly understood that what Xu Ruibai did to him was all what Bai Zhuyu did to him.

Xu Ruibai, do you also think that this way you can win?

Bai Zhuyu said: "Do you really have the heart to see him never being able to hold a paintbrush for the rest of his life?"

Ye Jia raised his head, he couldn't stop himself from crying.So he had no choice but to clenched his hands into fists, his nails dug deep into his flesh, and he used the pain to keep himself awake to fight against the person in front of him.

"Then can you bear it?"

Bai Zhuyu didn't speak, but looked at him calmly, no emotion could be seen in his pale pupils, the distress in his tone just now was just a fleeting illusion.

Ye Jia said: "You don't care. Xu Ruibai doesn't need to be able to draw at all. He doesn't need to have his own personality. He just needs to stand in the seat you arranged for him, enjoy the life you prepared for him with peace of mind, and then finish his life. His life was programmed from birth."

Personality, morality, emotion, and freedom are nothing but burdens to a huge machine like the Xu family that has been operating for nearly a hundred years and has formed its own system.

Their fundamental ideal is the eradication of humanity.

"Use the unlimited freedom of sex as a compensation. Let him love, be you, and be imprisoned by you willingly. This is the rule of your Xu family."

Ye Jia paused for two seconds. He needed all his strength to restrain himself from trembling. He felt that he was already hysterical, but the fact was that his voice was so weak that even he could hardly hear it clearly.

"Murder only kills one person, and once the rules are broken, it's hard to fix them. That's why you have to ask him to go back, right?"

Bai Zhuyu didn't answer, she pursed her lips lightly, the strong light from the hospital cast an icy halo on her, her long black hair glowed with a faint luster, she had a sober and beautiful face, even the years They couldn't do anything about it, but Ye Jia couldn't bear to look at such beauty.It's so beautiful that it makes people lose all hope.

——Xu Ruibai, will we never win?

——I can't beat you, and you can't beat Bai Zhuyu.

——All resistance will lead to the same ending.
