Chapter 8 Cigarettes

The black luxury car drove out of the basement, passed through the wide garden and courtyard gate, and disappeared into sight.

The light brown bird started up from the crabapple tree, spread its wings and flew away quickly, and the sound of the bird song also disappeared.

In front of the glass window on the top floor of the villa, the young man with cold brows and eyes slowly retracted his gaze, the clear reflection reflected against a tree full of flowers.

Still wearing the unsuitable silk pajamas, he walked straight into the cloakroom beside him.

There are only two colors in the neatly hung wardrobe grid, deep wine red and black without impurities.

This is not the way the average person buys clothes for himself.

Duan Shu remembered the gorgeous dark red quilt just now, thought for a while, and reached out to take off a deep wine red shirt.

He knew that Lu Zhi was a lawyer from a wealthy family, and he walked on this path despite the opposition of his family, because Lu Zhi liked to win, and winning or losing in court may determine the fate of a person's life. Give him unparalleled pleasure.

When Lu Zhi encountered failure for the first time in his career, he looked at the client sitting alone across from him in confusion, until this confusion gradually turned into an obsession that he couldn't extricate himself from.

He fell in love with his only defeat, but the other party never took him seriously.

And "Duan Shu" has just graduated from the Conservatory of Music, and loves vanity, so by chance, Lu Zhi who met by chance chose his face that is [-]% similar to Bai Yueguang, and he also naturally chose the material and vanity that Lu Zhineng provided .

This is the basic character setting that Duan Shu knows. As for the more detailed content, Qi Yan suggested that he try to find out in the story by himself.

A quarter of an hour later, he walked down the stairs and came to the restaurant on the second floor.

There is only a bouquet of mixed flowers in a glass vase on the long dining table, and the kitchen next door is empty, with half-washed fresh strawberries scattered on the porcelain plate, and the countertop is stained with water.

There was no prepared breakfast and no maids who were supposed to be there.

Duan Shu was a little surprised. He was about to open the refrigerator door to look at the ingredients and experience the feeling of eating in the virtual world, when he heard a loud movement and a series of rustling footsteps from downstairs.

A middle-aged woman with overly dyed black hair came in with a beautifully packaged box, sighed annoyedly, and stepped upstairs.

When she saw Duan Shu standing in front of the refrigerator, she immediately frowned: "One or two are not on time today! The snacks were delivered late, and you got up late too! If you can't finish today's painting, see what Mr. Lu will do." Pack you..."

Amidst the babbling complaints, the woman put the box in her hand on the dining table, raised her head and walked into the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and continued to wash the strawberries.

There was a faint roar of a locomotive downstairs, and it gradually faded away.

The snack box is tied with a beautiful and delicate bow, and a card is lined under the ribbon: Happy life, chocolate brownie.

Duan Shu picked up the card in surprise, and looked at the back of the strange woman.

He didn't think that in such a simple story, there would be such a special plot as that Lu Zhi lived with his relatives with his lover. The aggressive woman in front of him should be just a servant of Lu Zhi's family.

The maid had such an unrestrained attitude towards the master's nominal other half.

Combined with what Lu Zhi said to himself in the morning, it is not difficult to imagine the status of "Duan Shu" in this house.

While he was collecting the details in his mind, the maid finished washing the strawberries, put them into the porcelain plate, wiped off the water stains, and turned around to come out.

When she walked past him, she was still muttering angrily: "As long as you have a lot of things to do, you insist on eating dim sum from this restaurant for breakfast, and you don't get tired of it, making me run up and down every day..."

She held the plate of strawberries prepared for herself, and did not stop at all until she sat down in front of the big-screen TV in the living room, took the remote control, and watched the TV series with relish. dialogue.

Duan Shu's surprise faded away, and he quickly adapted to the initial situation he faced here.

He sat down at the dining table and opened the snack box with a little curiosity.

Inside is indeed a rich chocolate brownie.

Duan Shu picked up the spoon prepared in the box, scooped up a spoon carefully, and put it into his mouth.

Very sweet.

The sweetness spreading like lava on the palate is vivid and real.

There was a smile in Duan Shu's eyes, and he finished his breakfast quietly.

He doesn't dislike a world where sweets can actually be tasted.

And the world is full of unknown secrets.

Along with the aroma of cocoa pouring into the breath, there is also the fragrance of the bouquet of flowers on the table that is in full bloom. The green flower stems are tightly bound in the narrow and transparent bottle mouth, the branches are entangled, and the petals at the top are still gorgeous. fire.

He thought wanderingly, "Duan Shu" won't get any respect in this relationship, Lu Zhi controls everything about him, he doesn't even have the freedom to dress and get hurt, even the maids at home can wantonly blame him and kill him. Not afraid of being sued.

There are only negative things in his life, but he seems to endure them submissively until now. Even if he has a vanity-loving personality, even if Lu Zhi can bring him a sufficiently luxurious life, Duan Shu still doesn't feel that this can make a person willing to give up everything. dignity.

The riddle left by Qi Yan made him very curious.

The grumpy maid is immersed in the world of TV. Duan Shu finished his brownie and wandered upstairs alone, trying to find more details about his life to complete the image of this character. He is still not sure How to treat other people.

The villa is large and deep, the doors are closed, the corridors are dark, Duan Shu returned the same way, and planned to start exploring from his bedroom first.

The cold velvet quilt was still in a mess, there was only one left pillow on the bed, and there were water cups and tissue boxes on the nearby bedside table, as well as the mobile phone he had put down in the morning.

The nightstand on the right is empty.

So he was the only one living in this room, and Lu Zhi didn't seem to be coming.

In the entire bedroom, including the attached cloakroom and bathroom, there is nothing special, only the most common daily necessities.

Duan Shu turned around, and finally fixed his gaze on the left bedside table closest to "myself".

He sat down by the bed and tentatively opened the drawer in the cabinet.

There is a small wallet in the upper drawer, which contains ID cards, bank cards... and an expired student ID card.

The "Duan Shu" in the student ID photo has a green face and bright eyes, which is almost the same as Duan Shu's appearance in college.

The school is completely different, Ping Lan Conservatory of Music, Department of Vocal Music.

In the lower drawer are two certificates still wrapped in plastic film, a graduation certificate and a degree certificate. In the space on the side is a transparent crystal trophy with the signature of the first prize in a vocal competition engraved on the bottom.

Duan Shu's eyes wandered over these objects representing "his" past, slightly surprised.

He seemed to care a lot about the major he had chosen.

But buried the trophy symbolizing glory in a dark cabinet.

why?

Some fragments flashed through Duan Shu's mind. When he turned off the alarm clock on his phone in the morning, he vaguely saw a white notification bar.

Just as he was recalling, the phone screen suddenly lit up.

A new message has been received.

[Qi Wenxiao: Brother Duan, are you awake? ]

Before he was curious about the strange name, the notification on the top of the lock screen fell into view first.

[823 days since quitting smoking]

Seeing this line of words, Duan Shu felt even more astonished. He thought it would be an anniversary related to Lu Zhi, but it turned out to be a day to quit smoking.

He frowned slightly, and unlocked his phone, trying to find more clues.

It's a pity that there are very few applications on this phone, and there are only a few friends in the communication software, and the chat box is clean. At this moment, there is only one red dot from Qi Wenxiao. "Duan Shu" seems to clear up messages at any time to deal with some kind of inspection.

Only there are many photos in the photo album. Looking around, there are photos of different oil paintings at various stages of painting. As the date and time change, the pictures will become more and more abundant. When they are completely completed, they will be replaced with a new one. .

——If you can't finish painting today, let's see how Mr. Lu will deal with you.

What the maid said casually echoed in his ears, and Duan Shu immediately understood. Combined with the time when each photo was taken, it turned out that this was his entire life in this deep villa every day.

"Duan Shu" has to maintain a flawless appearance, follow a certain style of dressing, and get up on time to paint as if completing a task.

He was completely another person's shadow.

Duan Shu looked at the photo album, his fingers kept sliding up and down, and the different oil paintings seemed to have no end, which lasted for two years, hundreds of days and nights.

He remembered the day he quit smoking again.

823 days, two years and three months.

So he swipe up the album again and found that day.

There are no photos, only a video.

Perhaps the very beginning of the story is hidden here.

Duan Shu breathed lightly subconsciously, and clicked on this video.

Noisy human voices and music sounded in the silent bedroom in an instant.

In the dimly lit KTV room, someone was singing with a microphone in hand. There was a cake on the tea table. The candles had already been blown out. The birthday star in a birthday hat was lowering his head to cut the cake.

The camera was shaking, and a clear and translucent voice came from behind, as if it was close at hand: "The light is turned on, and I will record a video as a souvenir. Cut the side seat to me, I suddenly want to eat cream."

Someone laughed: "Old Duan, you are really not afraid of getting fat! Awesome!"

The owner of the voice moved the phone over, pointed it at him, and cursed with a smile: "Get out!"

His voice is so nice that one can almost imagine how recognizable it will be when it turns into a singing voice.

The person who made fun of him came forward with a microphone in his hand, "Come on, show off to today's birthday star, you are the big star I specially invited here."

The black microphone lay across the center of the screen, and he was not afraid of the stage, listening to the lyrical accompaniment, he took it casually.

Amid the sudden beautiful singing, a group of unfamiliar friends first applauded and booed, then quickly quieted down and listened attentively.

The camera casually looked at the big screen, and stood still for half a minute, only the singing was melodious, until the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open.

This very close singing stopped abruptly, he turned his head, moved his phone with him, and looked towards the door.

The man in the suit was out of tune with the surrounding environment. The brilliant lights flickering on the top of the private room flowed through his deep eyebrows, which was especially dazzling in the dark night.

It's Lu Zhi.

He stared fixedly at the person behind the camera, his eyes intersected from a distance, and his dark eyes floated quietly in his breathing.

After a moment of silence, the strange intruder said in a hoarse tone, "Sorry, I admitted the wrong person."

He turned and left, the door closed, a dark shadow flickered outside the glass window, and the friends behind him soon became lively again.

The owner of the voice did not move for a long time.

In the slightly shaking camera, people kept passing by outside the door, and no one pushed the door open any more abruptly.

The acquaintance came over: "Why don't you sing? Why don't you change it?"

He thought for a while, then stood up slowly: "Is there a cigarette? I'll go out and smoke one."

"Damn, you still smoke, doesn't your throat matter?"

"It's okay, once in a while."

He took the cigarette and lighter from the camera, and walked out alone.

For some reason, he never turned off the video recording.

When he passed the door of each private room, the flowing images would slow down a little, but he still found nothing when he reached the side exit on the first floor.

Going out from the small gate is a long alley.

He leaned against the street lamp, lit a cigarette with one hand, and held the phone in the other hand, motionless, as if in a daze.

The picture in the video has been still, reflecting the dark wall in front of me, the trash can that was kicked over, the sewage flowing and spreading, and the white smoke circling in the night sky.

Then the deep voice sounded outside the screen.

"Are you smoking?"

The camera frantically followed the owner's movements, and the man he had met just now came out from the same exit, his handsome face illuminated by the dim streetlights.

At that time, Lu Zhi didn't look indifferent, and there was even a faint smile in his eyes.

"You sing very well," he said. "Stop smoking."

So in the sudden helplessness, the orange-red spot was thrown to the ground, and the smoke dissipated and annihilated.

"……it is good."

The clear voice was tinged with hoarseness and caution.

"This is the last one."

He puts the phone in his pocket, the picture goes black, and the video ends there.

Duan Shu held the quiet mobile phone, his fingers tightened slightly.

It turns out that this is the beginning of the story.

Following the lens of No.1, he seemed to experience the encounter that night personally, and walked into this strange and real world unexpectedly.

Once again, he looked at the objects that had been properly packed in the drawer, feeling uneasy.

Compared with the intruder who caught a glimpse of him in the video, he had the same appearance as the Lu Zhi he saw with his own eyes in the morning, but his temperament was completely different.

Lu Zhi is very smart, and his professional influence makes him very good at capturing the weaknesses of others, and using this to maximize benefits.

The young and energetic "Duan Shu" has some minor problems. He likes to be in the limelight, loves to listen to compliments, is fascinated by flashy, and perhaps really loves vanity... So he finally accepted this seemingly fair deal and became Lu Zhi. An invisible lover.

But his biggest weakness was that he was firmly held by that strange man the second time he saw Lu Zhi.

He likes Lu Zhi.

So 823 days ago, he quit smoking.

I also gave up my favorite voice and my own life.
