Reef

Warm, almost scalding water poured from the nozzle.Zhou Muzhen stood under the nozzle numbly and savagely, as if he couldn't feel the water higher than his own body temperature.His eyelids drooped feebly, and if there were no eyelashes to block the water for him, he might not be able to keep them open.

He knew that Zhang Yushi did this to humiliate him, and he also knew that it was to "surprise" Gu Zhan, and Zhang Yushi obviously believed that he would feel ashamed to face Gu Zhan.Congratulations to him, he hit all the weak spots perfectly.

Even now, he dared not touch his own skin.He was afraid that he would recall such a painful memory, that kind of pain was like a piece of growing water grass, firmly locking him in the deep sea.

Finally, feeling that the water temperature was abnormal, he quickly changed the direction of the faucet.What awaited him was bound to be an instant of coldness.Once hot and then cold, Zhou Muzhen felt that his skin was getting hotter and hotter.He simply turned off the tap.

He recalled what Zhang Yushi said, that being fired that time cut off all his options, and he was almost abandoned by Beijing.So he came to Shanghai with all his possessions, hoping to start over.But he seemed to be on the blacklist of all the schools in the country, and his repeated bumps into walls made him lose the confidence to live.

By chance, he got a job as a night security guard at the university.But the job of security is so inferior to him in his opinion.He began to give up on himself, began to drink endlessly and seek physical pleasure.He didn't care if he broke the law or not, his life would have been ruined long ago.

When he was saying this, he was facing Zhou Muzhen doing inhuman things.In the small rental house, intense rock music overwhelmed the humiliating sound of the two having sex.At that time, Zhou Muzhen had almost lost his ability to think, and could only use his body to resist those straight balls hit by Zhang Yushi.

But Zhang Yushi asked for all of these.

Why do I have to bear these things?

Throat hair astringent, stomach acid flooding empty stomach.

"Teacher Zhou... are you okay?"

The unknowing young man knocked on the door and asked cautiously.

Zhou Muzhen moved his lips, and said softly, "I, I'm fine."

This is a lie that both of them know well.Gu Zhan held the handle of the bathroom door, but did not open it for a long time.He didn't know what expression to use to face Zhou Muzhen, should he be comforting or angry?He can't force Zhou Muzhen to detail what happened to him, can he?

If Mr. Zhou wanted to say it, he would definitely say it.Even he can't tell if it's true... Gu Zhan can't imagine a stranger treating his baby cruelly, as long as he thinks about it, he feels a severe headache.

The feeling of escape came up again.

Gu Zhan knew he couldn't do this, but he still couldn't help but want to avoid this happening.Such a thing should not have happened between him and Zhou Muzhen, he suddenly thought of Lin Tang and Lin Lin, and only then did he realize how cold his attitude towards Lin Tang was before.

It was only after the incident happened beside him that Gu Zhan realized how terrifying it all was.Like a nameless monster in the deep sea, it will tear you apart if you don't pay attention.

Under the entanglement of thoughts, he still opened the door.Zhou Muzhen turned his head to look at him, his eyes were almost lifeless, and his hands drooped by his side, as if he had schizophrenia.

Gu Zhan wanted to hug his Teacher Zhou, but couldn't move half a step because of his eyes.Those eyes seem to be saying "don't come here", looking deep inside, there is a trace of color called fear beating.

Before he moved, Zhou Muzhen moved first.He wrapped his body in a huge bath towel, barely rubbing it.Then he put on his clothes with some dripping water, and walked out of the bathroom cautiously.

During this process, he didn't touch Gu Zhan in the slightest.

"Teacher Zhou!" Almost subconsciously, Gu Zhan turned around and shouted towards Zhou Muzhen.

Zhou Muzhen paused, and he looked even weaker.The back is slightly arched, and the water-soaked T-shirt is pressed tightly against his back, delineating his prominent shoulder blades.He is like a fragile fluorite, which cannot be touched.

"Gu Zhan, let me...be quiet." These were the first words Zhou Muzhen said after being sent back.His words were so illusory that people couldn't grasp the syllables, but Gu Zhan still closed the door in despair, as if he was the one who turned Zhou Muzhen into such a culprit.

Not long after Gu Zhan went out, he heard the sound of the piano coming from the room.He didn't know what song it was, but he could feel the deep anger and helplessness in the sound of the piano.He could feel how hard Zhou Muzhen was hitting the keys, which was so heavy that it almost made the roundness and smoothness of the piano harsh.

He suddenly felt that Zhou Muzhen was far away from him, as if he had never entered Zhou Muzhen's loneliness from the beginning to the end.
