No.20 years

16 years old, that was 19 years ago.

No one can go back in time, at least with the current technology, Chen Jingming is still unable to do this.

Chen Jingming, 35, felt guilty for this and felt exhausted from the bottom of his heart.He squeezed Hao Chun's hand with difficulty, interlocking his fingers, with such force that he wished he could carve this person into the bone marrow. "Achun, I'm 35 years old, so you don't like me?"

Hao Chun, who was also 35 years old on the hospital bed, raised his eyelids, and Danfeng squinted at him from bottom to top, almost contemptuous.

"I can't." Hao Chun's lips vomited slightly, with that kind of satisfaction and laziness that is unique after finishing the work. "Chen Jingming, I loved you, so this is enough!"

Chen Jingming was so quiet that he was almost sad.Step by step, he knelt and prostrated himself beside Hao Chun on the hospital bed, clasped his hand, whispered with his thin lips, and asked him word by word. "Why?"

"There are so many whys!"

However, Hao Chun became irritable for a moment, and shook off Chen Jingming's hand vigorously, with the whites of his eyes turned upwards, and he opened his body in an indescribable posture that just finished the work, the butterfly piercing under the skin on the spine was covered by the sheet So he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. "I know, I'm a lunatic in your eyes. Crazy, time has no meaning for a long time."

Hao Chun laughed loudly, with a bit of cruelty unique to mental patients.

The empty laughter made Chen Jingming's heart ache.He had to forcefully suppress all his emotions again, and asked him carefully. "Ah Chun, what can I do so that you can love me again?"

Hao Chun's empty laughter stopped abruptly.A few seconds later, he stared blankly at the distant lamp above his head, and his voice suddenly drifted. "Chen Jingming, do you know? The people in the cage look outside and feel that the people outside are in a bigger cage."

cage.

Chen Jingming struggled to digest the word, and then asked him tentatively. "I'm in that bigger cage. So Ah Chun, you will come to rescue me, right?"

Hao Chun was silent for a long time.

Every minute of silence is too late for the 35-year-old Chen Jingming.

This answer actually has no beginning and no end, and no one can enter the other's world.They missed ten years, so ten years later, even Chen Jingming could not enter Hao Chun's world again.

It is a person's cage and a person's cocoon.

Chen Jingming's eyes were completely red. He carefully changed Hao Chun into the blue and white striped hospital gown, then guarded him and kissed him one by one.From the temples to the corners of the eyebrows and eyes, that was the only love he could give him after ten years.

33

Ten minutes later, Hao Chun fell asleep on the hospital bed.

Chen Jingming reluctantly lay down beside him, kissed and kissed, and supported his body on his elbows, just like he did every time after we had a good time.

In the past, Hao Chun always had to rely on the sex he gave to fall asleep.

Tommy was right, the man had been ill for years.Before he could realize it, Hao Chun had already been ill. The ill Hao Chun took the initiative to deconstruct himself, and then... he was so willful, floating outside the xy axis of time and space.

35-year-old Chen Jingming finally broke down in tears.

There was a hesitant knock on the door.

Chen Jingming was startled, wiped away his tears in a second, and found a suit and underwear from the wardrobe in the ward.A few minutes later, when he opened the door, he immediately recovered to be well-groomed.

Except that the eye sockets are still red from crying.

A Bin and A Gao didn't dare to look at him, they lowered their heads and their voices were low. "Young Master Chen, Qian Qiang said he wanted to talk to you."

Chen Jingming stood sternly in front of the door, sneered in his heart, Qian Qiang?The man who tried to snatch Hao Chun from him, heh!

"What does he want to talk to me about?" In reality, Chen Jingming's words were very calm, and he couldn't hear his emotions.

Abin and Agao hesitated even more, looked at each other, and finally Abin said hesitantly: "He said, there may be some things that you are interested in, Young Master Chen."

"It's related to Mr. Hao." Gao quickly added.

Chen Jingming's fingers pressing on the door frame unconsciously twitched.Qian Qiang is just a clown in his eyes, but Hao Chun once really planned to marry Qian Qiang.He missed Hao Chun's ten years. During these ten years, not only Hao Chun's nominal father, Hao Zhoudi, was restless, but even this clown named Qian Qiang was always on the verge of moving around.

There are some things that only these jumping clowns know.

Chen Jingming lowered his eyes, and his long and curly eyelashes drooped down to hide the deep hatred in his heart. "Did he give a clue?"

Abin and Agao were silent for half a minute, and finally Agao replied slowly, "He said, about why Mr. Hao broke up with Young Master Chen ten years ago... You should be interested, Young Master Chen."

The fingers clasped on the door frame convulsed for a moment, and the fingertips jumped almost uncontrollably.

Chen Jingming was silent for 3 minutes before he sneered. "He really said that?"

Both Abin and Agao lowered their heads and responded in unison.

"Yes!"

Chen Jingming's teeth itched with hatred, but he could only close his eyes and tightly grasp the non-existent time. "...Take me to see him!"

"Yes!"

10 minutes later, in a closed meeting room in Jingming Hospital.

Chen Jingming finally knew the truth—the so-called truth about why Hao Chun insisted on breaking up with him ten years ago.

"Why?" Chen Jingming built a bridge with both hands, leaned over the long dark table, forcibly suppressed all the ups and downs in his heart, and asked Qian Qiang calmly. "You lied to him that I crippled you, but you and I both know that this is not the truth. You lied! Such a clumsy lie, why would he believe it?"

Qian Qiang laughed convulsively, and the empty sleeve that was missing an arm shook violently in the laughter. "Why?"

Qian Qiang laughed until his tears were about to fall, he raised his head, leaned forward and back together while laughing, and beat the table with his left hand nervously. "You asked him why he believed me? Young Master Chen, you should ask yourself about this!"

Chen Jingming's slanted long eyebrows twitched. "What do you mean?"

Hey, Qiang Qiang slapped the table vigorously, out of breath from laughing. "You, you two, one is the sun in the sky, and the other is a worm in the mud, do you think he will believe you?"

There seemed to be something pressing down in the air, and Chen Jingming's long eyebrows frowned even tighter.

Chen Jingming only felt that there was a throbbing from the temples to the center of the eyebrows.He raised his hand tiredly and rubbed between his brows, barely suppressing his anger. "I'm asking you, why? You'd better answer me honestly."

It's not like it was then. The 35-year-old Chen Jingming holds all the criminal evidence of Qian Qiang over the years in his hands. Among other things, the crime of fraud alone is enough for him to be sentenced to ten years.

So Chen Jingming was sure that Qian Qiang would not dare to lie to him.

But across the long table at Steelcase, Qian Qiang's hysterical laughter didn't stop at all.Qian Qiangxiao swayed back and forth, sat on the chair with his buttocks, and swayed with the chair. "Young Master Chen, hahahahaha—!"

"Qian, Qiang!" Chen Jingming tapped the table with his slender fingers, suppressing his anger, and approached the jumping clown opposite. "Don't force me to really send you into the cell."

"...Oh? So I should be afraid of you, Young Master Chen?" Qian Qiang laughed so much that he raised his hand to wipe away his tears, then he stopped laughing in such a rascally and abrupt manner, and looked at Chen Jingming with his eyes rolled .

Qian Qiang is a rogue through and through, but even though he has already turned into a scumbag, he still has the look of contempt that once stood in the position of the favored son of heaven.

This is the confidence given to Qian Qiang by the Ninth Middle School.

No. [-] middle school, not only Chen Jingming's No. [-] middle school, but also Qian Qiang's No. [-] middle school.They were indeed classmates in high school, but they were in different classes, and they nodded to passers-by.Back then, Qian Qiang was just one of many living beings compared to Chen Jingming. He was used to keeping his eyes open, so naturally he couldn't see such people.

Now 36-year-old Qian Qiang stares at Chen Jingming, every word reveals the posture of a desperado.Every word, there is deep-rooted hatred. "Young Master Chen, you have today too!"

Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen again.

Clang!

Chen Jingming directly pulled out the chair and stood up. He was lined with a black slim suit, his eyebrows were particularly handsome under the light, and his skin was a kind of cool white with texture.

He turned his head and yelled out the door. "Abin, Agao!"

Two bodyguards immediately opened the door and entered.

"You can't figure it out, you didn't hit me with a car, but after I said it, he believed it?" Qian Qiang said, as if deliberately trying to delay something.

Chen Jingming frowned and looked back.

When Qian Qiang was sent in, A Bin and A Gao were afraid that he might be hiding something, so he took off his coat, so Qian Qiang, who was missing an arm behind the long table, was only wearing a crumpled shirt.It was a white oversized shirt, even a little out of size.The beard has also been shaved, and the hair can see the traces of just taking care of it.

Looking at it now, if it hadn't been for the scuffle with Chen Jingming in the Civil Affairs Bureau, Qian Qiang sitting here at this moment would even be well-dressed.

A guy like Qian Qiang who is nicknamed a scumbag keeps himself so clean just to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to take a photo with Hao Chun to get his certificate.

Chen Jingming only felt that the man in front of him was so eye-catching and shocking, he pursed his thin lips tightly, and his brows were about to kink. "What else do you want to say? Get to the point."

Qian Qiang looked at him and laughed again, the corners of his mouth were wide open, and the old scar from the left brow bone to the lower jaw made him look even more ugly.The stout left hand knocked on the table, making an annoying noise.

Qian Qiang's next words were also like noise, buzzing, every nerve of the noisy person aches.

"Young Master Chen, you really don't understand why he believed that lie so easily?" Qian Qiang stopped abruptly, and continued to tap on the table. "He doesn't believe you, that's why he believes me so easily."

Abin and Agao had already entered, standing beside Chen Jingming, and stopped hesitantly when they heard this sentence.He didn't dare to ask, only dared to ask quietly with his eyes.

Chen Jingming clenched his fingers into fists, pursed his thin lips, and stared at Qian Qiang in a posture of turning around and looking back.

Seeing him like this, Qian Qiang seemed even happier, and simply put his feet on the expensive Steelcase long table.Qian Qiang also wore a pair of high-end leather shoes on his feet, the most expensive branded leather shoes that could be bought in Jibei City.

Chen Jingming felt more and more glaring.With a sullen face, he asked indifferently. "He doesn't believe me, so he believes you?"

Qian Qiang broke out into a louder, more piercing laugh, with his toes bouncing up and down, and his words were interrupted by the laughter. "Of course, he can't... believe me, hahahaha!"

Chen Jingming frowned, feeling that it would be meaningless to ask about this further.So he only judged briefly for three seconds, and then whispered to the two bodyguards. "Send him to a lawyer. Legal matters should be handled by lawyers."

"Yes!"

Abin and Agao agreed at the same time.

Qian Qiang seemed to have heard this sentence, laughed intermittently, and added another sentence. "Chen Jingming, are you afraid to admit that he is so crazy now that even if you deliberately appeared in front of him in the past two years, he can't recognize you anymore?"

Chen Jingming's face suddenly turned pale, he clenched his fists, and snapped angrily, "What did you say?!"

"Ah, let me say," Qian Qiang glanced at him carelessly from bottom to top, his eyes and tone were very similar to Hao Chun. "Chen Jingming, have you tried to appear in front of him in the past two years? You have appeared in class reunions and bars, right? Once you even pretended to be a private detective he found. Unfortunately, he actually recognized Not out of you."

The air pressure in the empty room suddenly became low, and a kind of terror invisible to the naked eye was pervading.A Bin and A Gao walked up to Qian Qiang, twisted his shoulders, trying to make him shut up for a while.

Everything in Chen Jingming's eyes was clear, but as if he had been hit by the invisible sword of Damocles, his whole body shook slightly, and even his voice trembled uncontrollably. "You, what did you say?"

Qian Qiang was restrained by two burly bodyguards, Abin and Agao, so he couldn't move. Only his fierce eyes were free.

Those eyes are now staring fiercely at Chen Jingming from bottom to top.

"Admit it, his madness can't be cured. In this world, there are only people he wants to see, and only people he wants to know. If he wants to see, he can see; if he doesn't want to, he can't even recognize you. come out."

Chen Jingming's Adam's apple was knotted with his vocal cords, he struggled for a long time, his face was pale like a ghost.

"... Young Master Chen?"

It was the two bodyguards who were asking what he meant.

Chen Jingming's clenched fists were bleeding, and after a few seconds, he closed his eyes, exhausted. "Take him into the ward together. I need a... three-party confrontation."

Abin and Agao agreed as usual. "yes!"

A group of four men walked to Hao Chun's ward, A Bin and A Gao escorted Qian Qiang, and Chen Jingming walked alone at the end.The long corridor was only ten meters long, and outside the corridor were planted pansies that had just been exposed to the rain. Chen Jingming suddenly stopped in his tracks.

19 years ago, there were clumps of pansies downstairs in the private hospital in Jingshan.It was a gloomy early summer afternoon about to rain, and 16-year-old Hao Chun muttered to him unhappily: But Chen Jingming, I want to go to No. [-] Middle School.

How he answered at that time, the original words have not been remembered clearly.Probably refused.

Chen Jingming's eyes fell on this top private hospital that is now under his own name, from the corridor to the large canopy of pansies outside the corridor.Looking up, there is a tall wide-angle lens at the corner of the corridor.

Why is there a mirror?

19 years ago, there was also a wide-angle lens at the end of the downstairs corridor of the private hospital in Jingshan. The 16-year-old Hao Chun stared up at the mirror obsessively. After a while, he suddenly changed his mind.

—Okay, then... if you don't go, don't go!I don't go to No. [-] Middle School anymore.

At that time, Chen Jingming was relieved.

19 years later, 35-year-old Chen Jingming suddenly understood.Hao Chun wanted to go to Ninth Middle School, not only because he wanted to be with him, but the two of them went in and out together, and even slept together.Hao Chun, a scumbag at that year, also wanted to rely on his own efforts to get into the best high school in Northern Hebei City jointly run by Hua Guo and A Country.

No. 16 middle school, not just his No. [-] middle school of Chen Jingming and the scumbag Qian Qiang.That school was also the dream of [-]-year-old Hao Chun.

19 years ago, Chen Jingming broke Hao Chun's wings with his own hands and trapped him in the psychiatric ward of the hospital. Visits need to be booked in advance.The psychiatric wards of Jingshan Private Hospital are expensive. Each ward is equipped with a ventilator and a shock therapy device. When you open the equipment cabinet, there are a variety of medical equipment in it.There is no real metal in the ward, the four white walls are lined with soft sponge pads, and the bed rails are cold and strange, an artificial composite material deliberately made to look like metal.

Back then, Chen Jingming thought that was the best arrangement he could give Hao Chun.

Epilepsy is not a mental illness, but Hao Zhoudi said that Hao Chun's mother also suffered from epilepsy first, and soon became mentally ill.

Back then, Chen Jingming didn't dare to take risks. After all, he was only a 15-year-old boy at that time, only sixteen years old.He specifically went to ask his grandfather, and his grandfather said, then go and treat it!

Everyone knows that Hao Chun's mother was crazy at that time.Chen Jingming went to ask brother Hao Zhou and his grandfather, and the answer he got was that there was a high probability that Hao Chun was crazy.So he worked hard to arrange hospitalization for Hao Chun.At the foot of Jingshan Mountain, what he raised for Hao Chun was not an ordinary private hospital. Not only did he need enough money, but he also needed his grandfather to personally greet him before he could arrange for Hao Chun to live in it.

The windows of the psychiatric ward of Jingshan Private Hospital are very high, standing abruptly at an unreasonable height.The windows are barred, and patients are only allowed to communicate with the outside world.

The psychiatric ward where Hao Chun stayed 19 years ago looked... like a cage.

The 35-year-old Chen Jingming clenched his fists again, digging his nails into the texture of his palm, and closed his eyes forcefully.Then he spoke suddenly and called Qian Qiang to stop. "Qian Qiang, when did you start falling in love with him?"

Qian Qiang, who was being pushed forward by Abin and Agao, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Chen Jingming with that crippled face.

"I know you love him." Chen Jingming needed to do his best to hold back his disgust at this sentence. He pinched his palm again and asked calmly, "When did it start? How did you know him?" of?"

Chen Jingming used "know" instead of "know".

Qian Qiang's appearance beside Hao Chun was a malicious conspiracy, but now Chen Jingming doesn't want to care about this for the time being, he only wants to care about Hao Chun himself.

Strangely, Qian Qiang seemed to understand.The ugly face with a scar from the left brow bone to the lower jaw was raised, and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. "Ah, not much later than you."

Qian Qiang smiled slowly. "At the time of Ninth Middle School, he always came to see you in the dormitory building, saying that he was your own brother, but I saw you hugging and kissing with my own eyes, and I also saw you put your hand under him to hug him and serve him. So I knew at that time , he is your boyfriend."

Chen Jingming sullenly said in a cold voice, "You were also in that dormitory back then?"

"Well, yes, I'm in that building too hahahahaha..." Qian Qiang laughed almost hysterically. "I have seen with my own eyes what you two look like. On a typhoon day, he foolishly came to look for you. The heavy rain and the wind can blow people away, but he has been standing at the gate of our school grinding with that security guard. He thought Come in and see you."

Qian Qiang stopped laughing abruptly and smacked his lips. "Young Master Chen, he really loved you that year."
