the innermost part of the heart

Staring at the things in Xiaojiang's arms, panting for breath, that expression neither belonged to Yang Muchi, nor had it ever appeared on Rongchu.

"I heard that you can hypnotize." Yu Xiaojiang said while looking for nails to put on the wall.

"What Xia Yuechun said?" Obviously, although Ah Chu was stimulated by the thing in Xiaojiang's arms, it still couldn't stop him from thinking, but he stood far away, as if the thing would bite him.

"We also have a copy of your investigation." Finally, she hung the mirror over the washstand. "The information shows that you have studied the corresponding courses in the UK."

"If you practice it, you will definitely do it?" Until Xiaojiang came in front of him, Ah Chu didn't intend to get close to the mirror, but his eyes were always staring in the direction of the mirror as if he had been enchanted.

"Your grade is A+." After Xiaojiang finished speaking, he didn't care whether Ah Chu finally looked at her, just patted Ah Chu's arm and said, "Go and shave!" Then he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. superior.

Looking at the mirror, Ah Chu felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to breathe. He was gasping for air, but he felt his chest was getting tighter and tighter.It wasn't until Xiaojiang went out for more than ten minutes that he slowly moved towards the mirror with trembling hands and cold body.Yes, move, step by step, slowly move over.Ah Chu felt that he had never traveled such a long way before, it seemed as if he had walked for a century before he finally came to that mirror.

With just one glance, the moment he looked at the person in the mirror, Ah Chu burst into tears. "Ah Ci..." There was a hoarse voice like a sigh.

However, when he cried, the people in the mirror cried too, and Ah Chu couldn't see Ah Ci's tears the most. "Don't cry, Ah Ci, don't cry, don't..." But the person in the mirror was crying more and more.Ah Chu stretched out his hand to caress, the cold mirror made Ah Chu tremble all over, but he was reluctant to let go, even though he knew rationally that the person there was not Ah Ci. "Ah Ci..." Ah Chu put his hand on the cheek of the person in the mirror, closed his eyes tightly, and rested his forehead on the back of his hand. "Ah Ci..."

When Ah Chu's tears finally stopped and he raised his eyes to look at the person in the mirror, he realized that the person inside had a thin face, black and swollen eyes, unshaven beard, and messy hair. "Ah Ci, why did I spoil you like this?" Ah Chu frowned, and couldn't help but reveal a bitter and sarcastic smile.The person in the mirror also frowned and gave him an ugly smile.That expression is not Ah Ci's!Ah Chu's face froze, and he slowly restrained all his expressions, returning to a paralyzed look.The people in the mirror looked at him seriously.

"Ci, you wait, brother, I'll clean it up for you right away." Ah Chu lowered his eyes and quickly looked for tools. After a while, a piece of soap and a scraper appeared in Ah Chu's hand.Although the soap was not as smooth as the imported soap he was used to, and the scraper was not as smooth as the imported blades he used to, but Ah Chu had never been so careful like this time, for fear of scratching a little.After washing his face and shaving, Ah Chu went to comb his hair again, meticulously combing his hair into the look he had complained about many times.

"Brother, I'm back." Ah Ci's faint smile and Ah Ci's awkward tone were not Ah Ci's deep voice after all.

"Ah Ci... welcome back." Ah Chu's frivolous tone, cheerful voice, and the slightly raised lips of the person in the mirror never rose even a little bit.

When Yu Xiaojiang came back, he saw Ah Chu calmly sitting in front of the desk dismantling the gun, and when he heard her enter the door, he only confirmed it out of the corner of his eye, and said without turning his head, "I'm back."

"Well, let's eat!" Yu Xiaojiang knew that it was because Ah Chu not only heard her footsteps going upstairs, but also could tell from the footsteps that the person going upstairs was her.She has this kind of skill, so does Ah Ci, and now Ah Chu also has it. She thought he would learn it for a long time, but no, in less than a month, this man has already done it.

Yu Xiaojiang put a plate of vegetarian dishes and two steamed buns on the table, at most a small plate of pickled vegetables, and half a pot of rice soup that was so thin that it was almost clear water. They had eaten this simple and crude meal for a week, but Ah Chu had never eaten it. complained.It's not that Ah Chu has no money, as long as he shows his face in Shanghai's financial circles as Rong Chu, and even if he is willing to go back to Pine Snow Street, he will not live in such a poor life as he is now.But he insisted on hiding in this attic as Yang Muchi, waiting for orders that might be sent to him.

"You eat first, I'll finish this." Ah Chu's hands are very skillful, but probably because he really can't love guns from the bottom of his heart, so he never loads and unloads them as quickly as Yang Muchi.The dismantling can barely keep up with Ah Ci's speed, but it takes twice as long to load a gun as Ah Ci's. This is still under the condition of watching with both eyes, and the blind dismantling of the blind group is simply a mess.

Yu Xiaojiang was standing by the dining table, quietly watching the man's back.She thought he might still be crying when she came back, but he didn't; she even prepared herself for the possibility of a house full of mess, but he didn't; he even tidied himself up more neatly than these days. Like the day he first arrived here.

When Ah Chu finished assembling the gun and turned around, seeing Yu Xiaojiang still waiting for him, he was taken aback for a moment, but it was only for a moment. He got up to the dining table, nodded to Yu Xiaojiang and said, "Let's eat." He took the lead and sat down .

"Okay." So Yu Xiaojiang also sat down, and the two ate in silence.

When he was about to finish eating, Ah Chu suddenly said to Yu Xiaojiang, "I gave myself a hypnotic suggestion, and when nine o'clock comes, I may fall asleep directly."

Yu Xiaojiang raised his head in a "swish" upon hearing the words, stared at Ah Chu for a while, and finally managed to say, "How can I cooperate with you?"

"No, you can take care of yourself during this time. I set seven hours of sleep, and I will wake up naturally at that time. If, I mean, if there is any emergency that requires me to wake up early, you fall A cup is fine." Ah Chu pointed out to Yu Xiaojiang the porcelain teacup he usually used for drinking water.

"Well, I'll try not to disturb you, you should have a good night's sleep." Yu Xiaojiang smiled.

Ah Chu pursed her lips, but couldn't smile.

At five minutes to nine o'clock, Ah Chu had tidied up neatly, took off his coat and lay down on the bed.

At one minute to nine, Yu Xiaojiang turned off the lights and said to Ah Chu, "Good night."

At exactly nine o'clock, Ah Chu's eyes were closed, and the sound of even and long breathing came.

Yu Xiaojiang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.She opened the curtains to let the moonlight from outside the window come in. In the light of the moonlight, Yu Xiaojiang carefully looked at the face of the man beside him.This man has almost the same face as Ah Ci, but when she went to see Ah Ci last time, although Ah Ci was skinny and skinny due to prolonged sleep and inability to eat, he would not be so haggard, let alone have the same face in front of him. A man with such thick dark circles won't be tortured by nightmares every night.These days, Ah Chu only slept for a short time every other day, but it was only two or three hours, and then he jumped up instantly as if being scalded by boiling water.He no longer yelled or called Ah Ci's name, he just sat up, waited for his trembling to subside, then lit a cigarette, and sat silently until dawn.So these days, Yu Xiaojiang, who sleeps lightly and vigilantly, is used to not sleeping when Ah Chu is sleeping, because she will be woken up by him soon after falling asleep anyway, so she just waits for him to wake up before going to sleep.And this time, can he really sleep for seven hours as he said?Yu Xiaojiang looked at Ah Chu's sleeping face, waiting patiently, calm and serene.

An hour passed, and the night grew darker and the moon brighter.

Two hours later, Ah Chu began to experience rolling eyeballs, sweating on his forehead, and tossing and turning restlessly. Yu Xiaojiang knew that usually, after this kind of situation occurred, Ah Chu would definitely wake up in no more than half an hour...

"Big brother."

"I'm here to say goodbye to my brother."

"Take care, there will be a period later."

"Brother, I'm sorry!"

boom!

Ah Chu shook violently, and the scenery in front of him changed.

In front of him is Quanyang, and Ah Ci in a beige suit, Ah Ci is so handsome, he has long known that wearing this suit on Ah Ci will definitely set off Ah Ci's beauty.But wait, what's coming out of his mouth? "...But I want to thank you today, thank you for letting a man who recognizes a thief as his father see the truth that he should have seen a long time ago." With just this sentence, he saw a huge bottomless hole appearing behind Ah Ci quickly. dark abyss.Then, under his terrified gaze, Ah Ci swayed back with despair in his eyes, and at this moment, Ah Ci fell down, swallowed by the endless darkness behind him.

Do not!

The scene changed again, that was their home, No. 28 Songxue Street.Under the dim light, Ah Ci was putting a photo on the bedside. In the photo was a tall and straight Ah Ci in military uniform.He stood behind him and said expressionlessly, "Is that Yang Yuhua's thing?" "Brother." Ah Ci turned around, frowned slightly and called softly. "Although he is dead, I still don't want anything belonging to him to appear in our home, including this!" He picked up the photo frame and stuffed it into Ah Ci's hand.No, I don't mean it, leave it, leave it. "I see." Ah Ci turned and went out with the photo frame in hand.He saw him throwing it into the garbage dump at the corner of the street. When the photo frame fell to the ground and shattered, Ah Ci's figure was also shattered into pieces like the glass on the photo frame.

No!

The scene changed again, it was in front of Ronghua's tomb.He was saying to Ah Ci, "...I want to ask you for it." Ah Ci nodded, lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand, and pulled out his heart alive
