madness

The lights outside the window are glowing, and the speeding car pulls all the scenery into crooked curves, and the clear glass reflects Su Tianlin's face.

The man wearing silver-rimmed glasses seemed to have an irresistible magic power, looking at those eyes that looked like spring water flowing through him, he couldn't say anything else to refuse.

Su Tianlin seldom sees such a person in his life. He has a gentle temperament and a fair face, reminiscent of the Chinese teacher in the TV series in the 80s and [-]s wearing a real shirt. He has a gentle and wonderful intimacy that is unique to the yellowed photos.

The lyrical jazz playing in the car and the pattering rain made Su Tianlin feel a little tired unconsciously.

I don't know if I put a sachet or sprayed perfume, but there is a sticky sweet fragrance in the back seat.

Not annoying, but relaxing and comfortable.

The front window was still open, and the wind blowing in from there blows away the hair of the man sitting in the front seat. He glanced at Su Tianlin through the rearview mirror.

"Are you sleepy?"

Su Tianlin cheered up: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."

"Sleep for a while if you're sleepy." The man stretched out his hand and turned down the sound of the stereo a little: "I'll call you when I get there."

The sound of the rain gradually became louder again, and Su Tianlin's nerves, which had been tense for a day, gradually eased amid the rustling of leaves, and slowly sank.

Su Tianlin was woken up by a man after arriving at his destination.

"I saw that you had been sleeping on the way, so I didn't wake you up."

The man smiled like this.

"I just met your brother. I stopped him and told him you were in the car, but he opened the car door, took a photo and left."

He showed a somewhat apologetic expression: "I couldn't stop him."

Su Tianlin also got out of the car, the rain outside had stopped, the ground was still slippery, the street lights were on, and moths of various colors fluttered around the pillars, the air after the rain was damp and cold, filled with mist.

"Where did he go?"

Because there is no shadow of Su Zhiyun nearby.

Su Tianlin frowned slightly.

"It seems that he got into a taxi, but when he left, his forehead was hurt and he was still bleeding. Maybe he just had a conflict with someone else."

Su Tianlin asked: "Are there any other clues?"

The man pondered for a while: "Before he left, he asked me to take a photo of him."

"Take a picture?"

The man nodded and sighed: "But at that time, I saw that your brother was in a bad mood and his face was not good-looking, so I didn't want to ask more questions, for fear of irritating him again."

"Did something special happen today? Or is it a special day?"

Su Tianlin was silent for a while: "Today is my school entrance feast."

"Is it because the child is jealous and feels neglected at the banquet?" Tang Hong pushed his eyes and smiled kindly. The eyes behind the glasses frame were bent, shining brightly as if flowing with fine waves : "Children at this age are very impulsive and irritable. Some of my former students also felt that they were neglected by their parents, or that their parents favored another child. something to redeem."

……

Li Yanjiao suddenly overturned all the decorations on the table, her eyes turned red.

Su Tianlin saw that her face turned pale with anger, stepped forward to support her, and slowly relieved her: "Mom, there is no conclusion on this matter, it's just that man's side story."

Su Tianhe looked tired, glass porcelain bottle, carton remote control, no one was spared, he looked at the mess around him, rubbed his sore temples.

"Yeah, Yanjiao, don't lose your temper. It's not too late to talk about the situation after you figure it out. It's not necessarily because Su Zhiyun felt left out at the banquet so he did this impulsively. What if there are other reasons? Woolen cloth?"

Li Yanjiao screamed hoarsely, her eyes were red: "What conclusion is there, what conclusion is needed? If the man lied, why did he lie? If he is a kidnapper, why didn't he want anything? Why did you put Tianlin back? Why did you dare?" Showing his face in front of Tianlin, isn't he afraid that we will call the police? Isn't he afraid that the police will recognize him?"

Su Tianhe was also silent, and after a while, he frowned: "Anyway, let's call the police first, after all, he hasn't come back yet."

"Yeah, no matter what it is, wait until you find someone first."

The door was pushed open with a "click", and Su Zhiyun walked in. Most of his shoulder blades were wet from the rain, and a little bright red blood was seeped from the bandage on his forehead, and water was dripping down from his whole body.

Li Yanjiao suddenly pushed the two of them away, walked towards the door, and when she saw Su Zhiyun who entered, she raised her hand and slapped her across the face.

There was a crisp "snap" sound, and everyone was startled.

Su Zhiyun turned his face away, a drop of water fell from his wet hair and wet the ground.

Su Tianlin and Su Tianhe hurriedly stopped Li Yanjiao who was about to move forward.

"What are you doing, Yanjiao! Why are you beating a child!"

"Mom, don't be like this, calm down."

Li Yanjiao struggled desperately in Su Tianhe's arms, with a ferocious expression: "Su Zhiyun, Su Zhiyun! What can I do to you?"

The woman's nails scratched Su Tianhe's arm, scratching hard to leave bloodstains. Seeing that she couldn't break free from the shackles, she lowered her head and bit Su Tianhe's arm hard.

Su Tianhe felt the pain, so he let go of his hand.

Li Yanjiao, who got a gap, rushed to Su Zhiyun again, grabbed his collar, and shouted hysterically: "I raised you so much, how can I be sorry for you, you want to hurt me like this? Your grades are not good, I beg your father Grandpa told grandma to put you in the best middle school. When you were a child, the doctor suspected that you had brain problems. People around advised me to give up on you, and I didn't listen to them all the way to raise you so big!"

"It wasn't enough for you to kill Xiaohua before, and it wasn't enough for you to kill my mother. Do you still want to kill Tianlin now? What exactly are you going to do to destroy this house?"

Scarlet eyes were exposed from Li Yanjiao's disheveled black hair. She almost gritted her teeth and said, "Since the day I raised you, I haven't had a good thing happen to me! Su Zhiyun, you are really a bastard, a dead star." !"

Su Tianhe frowned, walked over and grabbed Li Yanjiao's arm, pulled her aside, and lowered her voice: "Okay, Yanjiao, you are almost ready, what are you talking about in front of the child!"

Li Yanjiao still stared at Su Zhiyun.

Su Tianlin took a few steps back, blocking Li Yanjiao's sight, and quietly pushed Su Zhiyun, signaling him to go upstairs quickly.

"You should really want to know if I sent that text message that chooses one or the other."

Su Zhiyun spoke out suddenly, revealing a face with red five finger marks from between the black hair, his complexion was pale and very calm.

"Then I'll tell you now."

Li Yanjiao stopped struggling.

Everyone looked over.

……

Su Zhiyun hates betting.

I hate betting with Tang Hong even more, because he knows he won't win.

"long time no see."

There was a little sparkle in Tang Hong's curved eyes. His fingers were warm, and when they touched the skin, it didn't make people feel cold, but a faint itchiness.

He untied the towel wrapped between Su Zhiyun's teeth. It had been so long that the towel had wrung red marks on his skin. Tang Hong reached out and gently touched the redness on Su Zhiyun's cheek.

"I knew I should have solved it earlier, did it hurt?"

Su Zhiyun turned his face away, avoiding his touch.

"Angry?" Tang Hong changed the topic as if nothing had happened, and snorted: "Your brother was picked up by your parents just now, you saw it."

Su Zhiyun remained silent.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you."

"I've been thinking about what you'll look like when you grow up all these years, and it turned out to be the same as I imagined. It's really boring."

Tang Hong pressed Su Zhiyun's eyelids with his fingertips, exerting a little force, and a soreness spread in the eye sockets.There is a subtle illusion of fragile eyeballs that could shatter at any moment.

"The eyes are still the same as before, very beautiful."

"You are just as self-willed as before. You always only believe what you want to believe, and only see what you want to see. Obviously, I have taught you before, and it seems that you don't even remember."

Tang Hong's eyes were compassionate, he stared into Su Zhiyun's eyes, as if he felt pity from the bottom of his heart.

"People only believe what they believe, and only what everyone believes is the truth."

He withdrew his hand, turned on the lyrical jazz in the car, took out the glasses cloth and began to wipe his glasses slowly, the silver button on the cuff was shining a little.

Tang Hong put on his glasses, and smiled at Su Zhiyun through the rearview mirror: "Would you like to make a bet?"

"I bet you will admit to yourself that you sent the text message when you go back."

Yes.

Su Zhiyun thought to himself.

Tang Hong was right.

He was a stupid, naive, hopeless piece of shit, the same as ever.

"I sent that text message."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and needles could be heard.

When returning home from the station, there was a heavy rain, and the clothes were soaked and stuck to his body, and Su Zhiyun gradually felt the cold.

"And you? What's your answer?"

Su Tianhe tried to interrupt Su Zhiyun: "That incident is not what you imagined..."

"Didn't you choose Su Tianlin?"

Su Zhiyun said.

All of a sudden, everything was silent, and there was no sound.

No one spoke.

A series of cold water drops fell from the corner of Su Zhiyun's clothes, and he raised his head, talking to himself.

"Actually, you all hate me, and you all want me to be the one who died, don't you?"

The voice gradually weakened in the silence, and Su Zhiyun repeated clearly and softly—"Admit that you all refuse to accept me, and you all think that I should never get up, rotten to the bone, is it that difficult?"

The bunny in the hoop game, the tie someone tidied up, the shirt someone tidied up, the spotless leather shoes, and an umbrella waiting at the school gate after school.

That's what Su Zhiyun wanted, but couldn't get.

So I deceive myself, I deceive myself that I don't need it, I don't want it.

As time goes by, it seems that I really don't remember, I really don't want it anymore.

Xiaohua is right, he is a coward, he will never dare to face the truth, he will always deceive himself, believe in false appearances, live in false stories, and deceive himself.
