After entering the suburbs for about 15 minutes by car, you will see a huge manor.

Gu Zhanqiao thought it was a manor because she didn't see the house through the black iron gate, but the endless farmland first.

There were two women waiting at the door, one looked about 50 or [-] years old, and the other was younger, perhaps in her early twenties.

The older one came up first and said, "Miss Mo, I haven't been here for a long time."

Mo Tongtong stared at the black iron gate with a somewhat disappointed gaze, nodded and said, "Hello, Aunt Lu."

Aunt Lu introduced the young girl beside her: "This is my niece Lu Li, now help me with some chores."

Mo Tongtong nodded, then turned her head and said to Gu Zhanqiao: "In this nursing home, there are people whose mental problems are considered controllable but unwilling to return to society. You can contact them."

Gu Zhanqiao hadn't come back to her senses yet, she nodded in a daze.

She looked at the older woman in the lead who was respectful to Mo Tongtong, and she seemed to know Mo Tongtong quite well during the conversation, and some thoughts arose in her heart.

—— Mo Tongtong won't stay here before, right?Is her cleanliness so serious?

She couldn't help but took Mo Tongtong's hand and hugged her arm in her arms.

They followed Aunt Lu and her niece on the not-so-broad concrete path. Aunt Lu spoke calmly about the situation in the nursing home: "Many people at that time had already moved out, and only those who have been there since then There are a few left, the old Mu died a while ago, brain cancer..."

Gu Zhanqiao felt a little uncomfortable when the other party babbled.

From the moment she entered the nursing home, she felt that she had entered some kind of weird and strange enchantment. The white plastic film of the greenhouse rustled in the cold wind, and hoarfrost formed on the weeds by the roadside, matching the gloomy gray-white environment. The sky, the whole world seems to have faded behind the black iron gate.

Gu Zhanqiao hid behind Mo Tongtong and said, "...Why do I think it's the atmosphere of a horror movie..."

Mo Tongtong laughed dumbfounded, and patted Gu Zhanqiao on the back, signaling her not to think wildly.

But she thinks that Gu Zhanqiao's feeling is indeed correct. Once she enters this kind of place, she always feels that it is different from the outside world. Even she occasionally feels that she broke into a strange place from the underworld.

At the end of the road, there is a tall white building, similar to an apartment, with a front desk registration on the first floor.

The uncle at the front desk smiled at Mo Tongtong and said, "Oh, Tongtong, here we come."

Gu Zhanqiao felt that these words were strange, and looked at the old man strangely.

The uncle squinted his eyes and said, "Who are you? Outsiders are not allowed to enter our place."

Mo Tongtong answered for her: "This is my friend."

The uncle no longer had any doubts, and said with a smile: "No wonder you look cheerful, as I said earlier, you need to make some friends."

The more Gu Zhanqiao listened, the more something was wrong, and when she walked inside, she finally couldn't help but grabbed Mo Tongtong's hand and asked softly, "Tongtong, why do they all know you?"

She considered her words carefully, looked at Mo Tongtong cautiously and said, "Do you come here often?"

Mo Tongtong looked thoughtfully at the corridor and said, "I used to come here when I was a child."

At this time, Aunt Lu in front said: "Don't go to the garden and bungalows at the back, you know, if you want to chat with everyone, you can just go to the cafeteria for dinner, and you usually chat there, sometimes call me—or call Lu Li beat."

Lu Li showed a shy smile and nodded to Gu Zhanqiao and Mo Tongtong.

For some reason, Gu Zhanqiao inexplicably grasped Mo Tongtong's hand even tighter.

Although she was a little rude, she felt that Lu Li's smile made her feel terrified, and she didn't look like a girl in her 20s anyway.

A group of people went to the third floor and opened a room, and Aunt Lu and the others left first.

Seeing the door being closed, Gu Zhanqiao glanced at the white room like a ward, and said strangely, "Are we staying here at night?"

"It's too late to go back, let alone you have to feel the atmosphere."

Mo Tongtong rubbed the goosebumps on her arms, forced a smile and said, "I really think I've already felt it."

She felt that the place was too quiet and clean, which wasn't a shortcoming at first, but combined with the bad environment inside, it seemed lifeless.

Of course, this may also be because of such a big place, but there are no people along the way.

Then she expressed her doubts: "According to the logic, there should be people in this building, why didn't I meet them when I walked all the way."

Mo Tongtong could see that Gu Zhanqiao was a little nervous. She was used to this kind of environment and had never brought anyone here before, so she couldn't understand what Gu Zhanqiao was nervous about.

She could only try to explain Gu Zhanqiao's problem: "People who are defined as having mental disorders are often somewhat withdrawn, because by definition they cannot adapt to the current social relationship."

"Who lives here? Schizophrenia?"

"Defined by psychologists as patients with mental disorders who do not cause harm to others but are unwilling to return to social life."

"then you……"

Gu Zhanqiao didn't say anything.

She wanted to ask "Then what's the matter with you", but she was worried that saying that would hurt Mo Tongtong.

Of course, it was obvious that she was thinking too much, Mo Tongtong poured some hot water for her, and said helplessly, "I didn't say that I lived here, I just... I just visited someone frequently."

"Who?"

After asking this question, Gu Zhanqiao realized that the person was Mo Tongtong's mother.

She had heard from Mo Tongtong before that her mother had severe delusions about being persecuted.

Mo Tongtong observed Gu Zhanqiao's expression, and said softly: "It seems that you have guessed it."

"When I was seven years old she went to a psychiatric hospital and ... some things happened, but she got better, and that's where she spent the next few years."

"At that time, her mentality was already very stable, and she was able to distinguish between fantasy and reality, but her body was too weak, so in the end... I was 12 years old at that time."

Gu Zhanqiao looked at Mo Tongtong with an expression on the verge of tears.

The next second she really cried out, hugged Mo Tongtong tightly and buried her face in her arms.

She felt bad, but didn't know why.

Mo Tongtong put her arms around Gu Zhanqiao's back, letting her cry to her heart's content.

……

During dinner, Gu Zhanqiao followed Mo Tongtong and observed the people around him.

I don't know if it's because I vented the pressure by crying a while ago, or because there are enough people around now, when I observe everything now, it seems that the weird pressure just now is gone.

Gu Zhanqiao even felt that the people here were more polite and well-educated than the people outside. Most of them were not loud or loud, and they were orderly and calm.

When Gu Zhanqiao was about to exchange thoughts with Mo Tongtong, Lu Li sat in front of them.

She looked much more lively than when she was in front of her aunt. When she smiled, two dimples appeared on her baby fat face, and her eyes were a little more lively.

She leaned over and said softly, "I know you, you are Gu Zhanqiao."

Gu Zhanqiao was flattered.

She was so touched, since she entered this nursing home, she had already forgotten that she was still a star.

Before she had time to say a polite word, she heard Lu Li say, "You are Song Hengdong's mistress, aren't you?"

Gu Zhanqiao: "..."

"I heard that you are very arrogant on the set. Even the director dare not provoke you. You can be late as long as you want. If someone scolds you, you will stop acting?"

Gu Zhanqiao: "..."

"Director Yang Su said he would never cooperate with you? Because you seduced her son?"

Gu Zhanqiao finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I don't understand, you girl looks like a dog, what's the point of lack of heart? What do you believe in what people say, if people tell you that shit tastes like chocolate, do you want to eat it?"

Lu Li: "..."

Mo Tongtong: "..."

Lu Li was dumbfounded, and said, "Why do you talk like this, you are a public figure."

Gu Zhanqiao rolled her eyes: "Is there a camera here?"

Lu Li put away his stunned look, and said with a smile: "As far as what you said just now, some of their statements are correct. You must have scolded people a lot."

Gu Zhanqiao was so angry that she wanted to roll up her sleeves and lift up the dinner plate to teach this girl what it means to be mean and deserve to be beaten.

Just when the atmosphere was on the verge of igniting, Mo Tongtong said suddenly: "Are you a did or a borderline personality?"

Lu Li withdrew his smile and looked at Mo Tongtong indifferently.

"You must be sick."

Mo Tongtong was serious and expressionless, and said something that sounded like a curse.

Lu Li picked up the plate, turned and left.

Gu Zhanqiao was surprised: "She just left?"

Mo Tongtong took it for granted: "Otherwise, she is indeed sick."

When Gu Zhanqiao learned that Lu Li might be a patient with multiple personality, she was very excited.

"Then I can just observe her! The scope has shrunk all of a sudden."

"Observed?"

"That's right, but it's too difficult to keep track of something, okay, I'll just go and say hello to her."

Gu Zhanqiao took Mo Tongtong to Lu Li's office, and looked at her through the window outside the door.

While Lu Li was sorting out the files and sorting a lot of files into categories, her brows began to twitch.

She finally couldn't stand it anymore, opened the door and said, "What are you doing, treating me like a monkey?"

"No, I just... just came to be your friend."

Lu Li looked at her suspiciously: "You are a big star, why are you friends with me?"

"What big stars, we are not all ordinary people, we are similar in age, it is not normal to have a chat or something."

She secretly looked at Lu Li's expression, trying to see what the other person's expression was.

Lu Li looked dazed for a while, and then the next second, her eyes burst out with excitement, and she grabbed Gu Zhanqiao's hand tightly and said loudly: "Really, do you really want to chat with me? Then It's so good! I'm almost, almost bored to death!"

Gu Zhanqiao was so frightened by this sudden change that her expression went blank, she subconsciously turned her head to Mo Tongtong for help.

Mo Tongtong took a step further, took Gu Zhanqiao's hand out of Lu Li's and held it in his own.

"Let's talk—but don't shake hands."
