drowning

The two walked into the room, neither of them speaking first.As usual, Jiang Yu lowered his head to pack their luggage.Xu Yanxin stood aside, more stupefied than a statue.Just when Xu Yanxin was acting stupid, Jiang Yu turned out his crumpled pajamas and pajamas as if nothing had happened, shook them out, folded them into square dried tofu and put them on the bed.After unpacking the luggage, I sealed the sharp places such as the table corners and chair legs in the hotel with a thick layer of glue.Xu Yanxin noticed the medical box in the middle of the suitcase.He is the one who is sick, and he is also the one who is careless. He has never remembered these trivial things.

But the person who made him feel at ease to be stupid has always been Jiang Yu.So he was willing to be stupid, walked to the window, pretended to look at the beautiful scenery outside the window and said: "What kind of mountain view room, there is obviously a large farmland outside..."

Jiang Yu didn't cooperate with him, and interrupted: "Wan Liu said, don't you want to know if it's true or not?"

Xu Yanxin was stunned, and said: "He is a crazy person, and I don't believe what he says. I believe you. As long as you tell me yourself, I will believe it."

Talking about people when meeting people, and talking nonsense when seeing ghosts is the survival rule that Jiang Yu has always been good at.He has understood the rules of society since he was a child. Although he does not want to call it a kind lie, at least it is a beneficial lie. He can rise to the upper class by obeying reality instead of fighting against reality. He has long been tired of fighting against reality. .He wanted to persuade Xu Yanxin and tell him that those were all fake.But when he saw Xu Yanxin's pretending firm face and trembling fingers, he thought that he would never be able to tell a lie again.

"It's true," Jiang Yu looked at him calmly, "You can't win Xue Zhi's case. No matter whether he wins or loses Zhou Hao's case, he can get probation and bail in prison. As for Zhou Suxi's case I won't accept the case if it's just a male-prostitute's self-defense lawsuit. My client hopes that I can bring down a few opponents from Xia Qingzheng's network, and helping Zhou Suxi to be cleared is just a piece of cake."

"So, the words in the restaurant are all lying to me, right? You said that you don't want to obey the reality and deviate from your own principles, but you also don't want to be a good person who complains for others' grievances. You just want to be an ordinary person who gets along."

"I feel that I haven't done anything outrageous." Jiang Yu approached him step by step, "Ordinary people can't sit in the partner's office."

"I said ten years ago that I don't want to stand in a low place. Whether Zhou Suxi is dead or alive, guilty or not, has nothing to do with me. What he has encountered and what he desires has nothing to do with me. You're different, I've had enough of the smell of the garbage dump, and I'm not interested in sympathizing with their sorrows and joys." Jiang Yu stood in front of Xu Yanxin and looked at him, "So, do you understand?"

Xu Yanxin didn't even remember how he got out of the room, he just thought it was absurd, whether it was the absurdity of Jiang Yu who spoke so eloquently and shamelessly, or the absurdity of himself who was secretly delighted because he sensed Jiang Yu's intentions a few days ago.Maybe Xu Zhao is right, for a person like him, it will never be easy to get used to the dark side of this world.What he firmly believes in is just a bargaining chip in the hands of others.

How can the knife and the fish face each other calmly.

He sat alone in front of the store door, no matter how the girl at the front desk shouted, he didn't move.Looking at the quiet deserted fields in the distance, he only felt tranquility and desolation.He has thought countless times that he has grown up and can deal with the world calmly enough, but in fact it is just a slope before the twists and turns. No matter how slowly he moves forward, the real decline always leaves no time for thinking.And this kind of moving forward, such twists and turns, such falling, is every time, countless times.

In the dark night, there are occasionally two birdsong, and occasionally there are small footsteps, which are the light tread of leather shoes.He seemed to be talking to himself, "Three months haven't arrived yet."

"But I don't want to become a regular again."

All the sounds stopped abruptly, and the night will eventually belong to tranquility.He watched the moonlit night, watched the sunrise, and saw that his eyes were so tired that they closed.What I can think of in my mind is nothing but the days and nights of the past.It is the day and night with Jiangyu.If he looked back, he would know that there was another person who stayed up all night like him, but he didn't.

Xu Yanxin stayed up all night, but he didn't feel so tired. On the contrary, an unknown force grew in his heart to support him.But Jiang Yu, who has always been able to do a job with ease, looks a little tired.Wanliu was naturally aware of the weird atmosphere between the two of them, and couldn't help gloating at their misfortune.

Jiang Yu didn't look at him, and said in a hoarse voice, "Xu Lu accompanied Zhou Suxi to the orphanage, and Wan Liu and I went to the town to find out the news."

Wan Liu said: "I have to watch Zhou Suxi, I'm his person in charge."

When Zhou Suxi heard the words, he lowered his head and smiled softly.Jiang Yu immediately said: "No, you have to follow me."

Wan Liu glanced at Xu Yanxin's face, and said in a calm voice, "What are you afraid of? I'm really afraid that I will push him downstairs?" Xu Yanxin resisted the desire to take a look at Jiang Yu, and turned his head away.

I only heard Jiang Yu say gloomyly: "Talk nonsense again, try it."

When moving separately, Jiang Yu grabbed his wrist. Xu Yanxin tried to break free twice, but Jiang Yu gripped harder and harder, almost breaking Xu Yanxin's wrist. With a groan of pain, Jiang Yu suddenly let him go.Jiang Yu said, sorry.He lowered his head, didn't look at Jiang Yu's face, he could only catch a glimpse of his jaw, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Yu pursed his lips, handed him the medical kit in his hand, and said, "You forgot again."

"If you run into any trouble, remember to call me."

Xu Yanxin said, thank you.

Jiang Yu didn't return.

When the car started slowly, Xu Yanxin dared to glance at the figure in the rearview mirror.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Yu stood there, quietly watching their car leave.For some reason, Xu Yanxin thought of his birthday that year for no reason.When he was forced to agree to Ye Yuqing's confession, Jiang Yu also looked at him with the same eyes.

Since she was so affectionate, why didn't she lie to him this time like she did back then?

Qiushan is a sparsely populated place, full of wilderness, but the sky is high and the clouds are low, the mountains are green and the grass is green, and there are indeed two points of beauty that cities do not have.Xu Yanxin took a sharp breath of the grass-scented air, hoping to completely expel Jiang Yu from his heart and lungs.Unexpectedly, the always quiet Zhou Suxi laughed after noticing his actions. Xu Lu from years ago."

"Wanliu told you?"

"Yes, he once told me that you were the best person he'd ever seen in his life."

Xu Yanxin was startled, quite unexpected.Zhou Suxi's eyes were very dark, like a bottomless pool, and when he smiled, he lost his chill, and said, "Sometimes what you hear is deceptive, and what you see may not be true. Wanliu is like a child. The more beautiful something is, the more I want to destroy it."

After hearing this, Xu Yanxin didn't quite agree with it, but she didn't say much, only feeling palpitations.

The guest house itself is remote, but it still takes half an hour to get to the even more remote orphanage. It's hard to imagine that Shen Wang, a well-known star, actually walked out of this kind of place.And Zhou Suxi, who has always been gentle, came to the gate of the orphanage, and his face darkened.Since Xia Qingzheng "retired", this orphanage has been left unused and no one is in charge. I heard from the girl at the front desk that occasionally a few children use that place as their base.He preconceived that it must be a spooky place, but he didn't expect that whether it was the brightly colored graffiti at the entrance or the childlike decoration inside, it would vaguely make people feel warm.In particular, the daisies planted in the courtyard grew very brightly without knowing who took care of them.

Zhou Suxi stepped into this former prison without saying a word. When he walked to the hall, he pointed to the ashes on the ground and said, "So there was a piano here, which was specially bought for Shen Wang. How jealous. However, What they don't know is that from Shen Wang onwards, every child who plays the piano has become his substitute, doing the same job as him, shedding the same amount of tears as him, but not reaching his status."

Xu Yanxin said: "I heard that he has been donating money to the orphanage?"

Zhou Suxi actually laughed, and replied: "However, the children here are not short of money."

"What's missing?"

Zhou Suxi didn't return, but walked ahead alone, occasionally talking to Xu Yanxin.Xu Yanxin really felt weird. Compared with fear, he felt more nostalgia from Zhou Suxi. He would always pass those worn-out items with his fingers, as if to appease the dusty memory.When Xu Yanxin gave him a tissue, he suddenly remembered that Jiang Yu had told him that there was no fingerprint of Zhou Suxi on the handle of the knife found at the scene of the crime.There is nothing on it.But Xia Qingzheng's blood was detected from Zhou Suxi's body, and Xia Qingzheng was charged as a suspect only after waking up from a coma and identifying the murderer as him.

Xu Yanxin asked curiously, but Zhou Suxi said, "I don't have fingerprints." He spread out his fingers to show Xu Yanxin, all ten fingers were covered with burn marks.Xu Yanxin's heart tightened, and he raised his head to meet last week's eyes.The other party said in a very flat tone: "When I was young, I liked to touch the dean's things. Once I opened his safe through the fingerprints left by the dean, but he still found it behind, but since that moment , he found out that I still have the ability to steal things. So he destroyed all my fingerprints and asked me to do something bad when the guests were asleep, such as unlocking the phone or stealing a personal item. I am different from Shen Wang , he only needs to sing and play the piano to please people."

Xu Yanxin said: "It's so flattering, don't worry about it."

Zhou Suxi smiled and said yes. Fifteen years have passed, and there is naturally no evidence left in the orphanage.However, when they left, Zhou Suxi turned his head many times, staring at the seemingly warm but weird building, Xu Yanxin followed his line of sight, and saw the word "happiness" on the card seemed particularly ridiculous .An orphanage called Happy Orphanage didn't even provide the children with basic guarantees.

When they returned to the hotel, Jiang Yu and Wanliu hadn't returned yet.Xu Yanxin heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she didn't have to be alone in the room with him.However, when night fell and Jiangyu hadn't returned, his heart was suspended again.Just as he rushed out of the room to find them in the town, he bumped into the dusty Jiangyu.Jiang Yu supported his shoulders, and reprimanded him in his usual tone: "What are you running around?"

Xu Yanxin also worked hard, and deliberately said: "I'm going to reopen a room."

Jiang Yu was silent for a few seconds, and said: "I asked the front desk, there is no room available, you sleep on the bed, I sleep on the sofa, just these few days, you bear it first, wait until you go back..." Said, Jiang Yu Only then did I realize that they might never go back.Xu Yanxin couldn't adapt to such a strange atmosphere. She brushed against his shoulder and was about to go downstairs. Jiang Yu grabbed his wrist, which probably hurt him in the afternoon. You can break free by struggling, but no one moves.Jiang Yu thought for a long time, and just said: "I found some information at the police station in the town, do you want to..."

"Come with me tomorrow?"

"Well," Xu Yanxin moved his wrist, "I'll go to Zhou Suxi's room first."

He had just walked a few steps when Jiang Yu stopped him.Xu Yanxin never knew that his name could sound so sad.However, Jiang Yu only said, "Come back early."
