the innermost part of the heart

Be good, I'm afraid Ah Chu's one sentence is more effective than ten of his own.So thinking about it, Yu Xiaojiang turned around and went back to the attic.

Because she was in a hurry, Yu Xiaojiang ran upstairs on tiptoe, and she was wearing cloth shoes, so there was almost no sound. "Ah..." But the moment the door was opened, Yu Xiaojiang was stunned.Before that, she swore that she never doubted Ah Chu's feelings for Ah Ci. Even though Ah Chu had such a fierce reaction to Ah Ci's death and insisted on replacing him, she only thought it was the blood relationship between brothers. It is the unwillingness to lose again after many years of separation and the complaint against this cruel and inhumane world.But she was wrong, when she saw Ah Chu devoutly kissing the mirror, she knew she was wrong.He loves him more than anyone, that's why he suffers so much!

When Yu Xiaojiang pushed open the door, Ah Chu's hands were caressing the cheeks of the person in the mirror, and his lips were softly but tightly pressed against the slightly pale lips of the person in the mirror.Ah Chu didn't panic when someone broke in suddenly. In fact, he calmly finished his daily greetings and kisses before staring fiercely at the door.He is not afraid of being criticized, but only hates being disturbed by others.

Seeing Ah Chu's fierce gaze, "I'm sorry." Yu Xiaojiang apologized, closed the door and fled.

Seeing the figure appearing and disappearing quickly at the door, Ah Chu frowned slightly.

"What do you think she will think?" He actually didn't care what Yu Xiaojiang thought of him, he was only afraid that it would affect his next plan to replace him.

"I believe that big brother will always find a way."

"Of course." Ah Chu turned his head to face the mirror, "Alright, let's shave!"

"You don't need to shave every day, my beard doesn't grow that fast, it's just a little stubble."

"Gentlemen should keep clean and tidy every day. This is politeness and self-cultivation."

"Don't use what you did in the Rong family to educate me."

"Okay, I was wrong." Ah Chu obediently admitted his mistake, but he didn't stop shaving in front of the mirror.

Yu Xiaojiang didn't stop until she rushed all the way downstairs, and the rapid panting after finally standing still made her realize that she had been holding her breath just now.why?why?Yu Xiaojiang's mind was spinning like a storm, and she couldn't think anymore.Going to the pawn shop in a daze to pick up the task, even forgetting to go to Songxue Street, Yu Xiaojiang returned home.

When entering the house, Yu Xiaojiang paused deliberately, and then knocked on the door.

"Come in." Ah Chu's voice came in as dull as ever.

Yu Xiaojiang pushed the door open and entered the room, and when he looked up, he saw that Ah Chu had handcuffed one of his hands to the leg of the table with the handcuffs she had hidden, and was struggling with the pair of handcuffs with his other hand.

"What are you doing?" Yu Xiaojiang didn't react for a while.

"Practice picking locks." Ah Chu continued to struggle without raising his head.

"How long have you been driving?" Yu Xiaojiang didn't even ask Ah Chu where he found the handcuffs. Anyway, now Ah Chu is as proficient and confident in rummaging as Ah Ci.

"It doesn't matter how long it takes, the important thing is that I can't open it at all." Ah Chu straightened up and slumped back into the chair discouraged.After thinking about it, Ah Chu added, "How long does it usually take?"

Ah Chu seldom calls Ah Ci by his name, and always uses "he" instead in front of Yu Xiaojiang, and Yu Xiaojiang certainly knows who he is talking about.

"A few minutes faster, ten minutes slower, but sometimes it can't be opened." Yu Xiaojiang took the iron wire in Ah Chu's hand, and began to turn around in the keyhole of the handcuffs.

"There are times when you can't open it?" Ah Chu couldn't believe it, so there are things that Ah Ci can't do?

"It usually depends on the lock. The deconstruction of the lock determines the length of the unlocking time. Sometimes there is not enough time, and of course it cannot be opened." Yu Xiaojiang further explained.

"What about something like this?"

Yu Xiaojiang unlocked the lock on the handcuffs on Ah Chu's side with a "snap", "This kind?" As he said, he went to poke the keyhole on the other side, "If the handcuffs must be kept intact, the ones he and I used The time should be about the same." With a "snap", the lock on the other side also opened, and then she threw the handcuffs to Ah Chu, "But usually, he would directly destroy the handcuffs with this kind of material."

Ah Chu caught the handcuffs, only raised his eyebrows, and then remained silent.

After a while, "I'm going to cook." Probably because he couldn't bear the dull atmosphere in the room, Yu Xiaojiang got up and prepared to go out.

"Xiaojiang." Ah Chu stopped Yu Xiaojiang before she opened the door.

Yu Xiaojiang turned to look at Ah Chu.

"He doesn't know, it has nothing to do with him, it's me..."

"Needless to say," Yu Xiaojiang quickly interrupted Ah Chu, "As long as you can complete the task, I don't care or care about the rest." Yu Xiaojiang gritted his teeth and forced himself to finish speaking.She no longer knew how she felt, but she knew that Ah Chu didn't care whether she cared or didn't care. Up to this moment, what Ah Chu cared about was what others would think of Ah Ci, not how he would be viewed by others.This man already loved Yang Muci to the point of being hopeless. He clearly believed in Ah Ci's sacrifice, but... Yu Xiaojiang only felt pain in his eyes, but he tried his best not to let the tears fall again.

"I see." Ah Chu nodded.

After getting Ah Chu's answer, Yu Xiaojiang rushed out the door again, and made a "clang" sound when he closed the door.

"It's the first time I've seen Instructor Yu so...so emotional."

"Maybe it will be common in the future."

This night, because the events of the day had a huge impact on Yu Xiaojiang, she rarely suffered from insomnia.Seeing Ah Chu next to him sleeping soundly after taking half a sleeping pill, Yu Xiaojiang felt a little envious.He really pulled her down after stimulating her, so heartless.No, it's not that he is heartless, but that he put all his thoughts on Ah Ci.Probably anyone other than Yang Muchi, in his eyes, is just a passer-by, right? !Yu Xiaojiang sighed silently, looking covetously at the sleeping face of the person in front of her, she no longer knew whether she loved this face like Ah Ci's, or this person with the same face as Ah Ci's.She only knew that maybe the days when she could lie beside him like this and watch him unscrupulously would not be too many.Regardless of whether Ah Ci can wake up or not, when Ah Chu regains his identity as Rong Chu, she can only be his comrade, not his wife.

Under the moonlight, Ah Chu's eyeballs began to roll rapidly again.Yu Xiaojiang was startled. After the hypnosis, Ah Chu had already taken sleeping pills regularly and regularly every day, and she was never woken up by him in the middle of the night. She thought he was healed, didn't she?Just thinking about it, Ah Chu's eyes snapped open without warning.Yu Xiaojiang quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.She was fortunate that Ah Chu was lying on his back and she was lying on his side, so he couldn't see her immediately.

Yu Xiaojiang adjusted his breathing to be long, but his heart was beating suddenly.But Ah Chu lay there without moving, not even turning over or breathing heavily.Just when Yu Xiaojiang finally calmed down and was about to open his eyes to take a look, Ah Chu sat up silently and slowly.It wasn't until Ah Chu quietly went down that Yu Xiaojiang dared to open her eyes carefully. She wanted to see what exactly Ah Chu was doing?

Then she saw Ah Chu lightly floating in front of the mirror like a wandering soul, and under the dim moonlight, he put his forehead on the mirror.

"Ah Ci..." There was a very light sigh.

For a moment, Yu Xiaojiang's eyes were clouded with tears.

But Ah Chu didn't leave the mirror, and after a while, an equally gentle but obviously deep voice came from Ah Chu's mouth, "What are you doing without sleeping in the middle of the night?"

Yu Xiaojiang was startled in horror, feeling cold from head to toe.

"I can't sleep." It was Ah Chu's voice she was familiar with, but with a fragility and confusion she was not familiar with.

"Go and rest for a while if you can't sleep, there are still many things to do at dawn!" It was that deep voice again.

"Yeah." Ah Chu finally lifted his forehead from the mirror.

"Brother." The person in the mirror looked directly at the person outside the mirror.

"Ok?"

"I believe you can do it."

"Yes, I can do it." After finishing speaking, Ah Chu looked at the mirror for a while, then sat down at the desk.He lit a cigarette, sat quietly in the dark night, quietly waiting for dawn.

It turned out that he didn't get up earlier than her these days, but he still couldn't sleep for more than three hours.Yu Xiaojiang closed his eyes and let the tears slide into the pillow.

In the morning, Yu Xiaojiang was teaching Ah Chu to identify various lock cylinders. Because the real objects were limited, Yu Xiaojiang could only use drawings.

When Yu Xiaojiang went out in the afternoon, it was the same as usual, there seemed to be no difference.But when he got downstairs, Yu Xiaojiang couldn't move anymore.Facing the bright sun above his head, Yu Xiaojiang repeatedly recalled what happened yesterday afternoon and night, but he felt unreal like a dream.No, she had to check again.The accuracy of multi-party verification of information is probably also a professional habit she has developed over the years.So once again, Yu Xiaojiang went back and forth, but this time, she deliberately raised and lowered slowly, hiding the sound of her footsteps.

Under the window, Yu Xiaojiang carefully revealed half of his head.

In the window, Ah Chu filled water, prepared soap and spatula, and then looked at the face in the mirror. "Ah Ci, good morning." After speaking, the lips inside and outside the mirror gently pressed together.

No rolling, no further movement, just such a close but gentle touch.After a while, Ah Chu left the mirror and ended the kiss that wasn't even a kiss.

"It's getting late." The moment he left the mirror, a slightly deeper voice came from Ah Chu's mouth.

"You know, it's this time every day." Ah Chu skillfully kneaded the soap into foam and rubbed it on
