The humble stand-in decides to become scum

Shen Dusheng was not in a very happy mood today. He talked with his grandfather for a long time, but the problem was not resolved satisfactorily.

And after returning home, the atmosphere of the meal was quite weird, even Luo Qin sometimes looked absent-minded, as if he was hiding something else in his heart.

Shen Dusheng felt that the reason why he cared about the other party's situation should be because he was bored in this house with nothing to do, he didn't like this place, and he just wanted to leave here as soon as possible.

However, the old man didn't want to release them immediately, probably because few people came back, so it was hard to see them. He hoped that Luo Qin and Shen Dusheng could stay until night.

Time passed by, and the two of them spent another afternoon with the old man. During the period, Shen Dusheng went to answer the phone, and old man Shen and Luo Qin played chess. Halfway through the game, he suddenly asked, "You're not in a good mood? Do you feel like staying with me?" Old man, so it's too boring?"

Of course, it was impossible for Luo Qin to have such an idea. He quickly raised his head and tried to explain, but seeing his reaction, Mr. Shen couldn't help laughing.

Seeing his demeanor, Luo Qin realized that the old man was probably just joking.

Seeing that Luo Qin had regained his senses, the old man said, "What's the matter? Just tell me if there is anything, I can help, and I will definitely help you solve it."

Luo Qin is still thinking about the previous things in his heart, unable to deal with the old man's words well, he can only say in a panic: "How do you know that I have something on my mind?"

He thought that his previous disguise should not reveal any flaws, but the old man said: "Isn't this simple? Although I didn't see it before, it was obvious when I played chess. Your chess moves are messed up." gone."

Right after saying this, the old man moved the pieces on the chessboard and said, "General."

Luo Qin looked down, only to realize that his chess game had been completely locked, and there was no life left at all.

He reluctantly admitted defeat: "Grandpa, as expected, I still can't beat you."

Old Man Shen was in a very good mood. After winning, he stopped playing chess. He put the chessboard to the side and asked, "Your concern, let me, an old man, listen to it?"

Luo Qin didn't intend to say anything at first, but now facing Mr. Shen's eyes, he finally said after hesitation: "Grandpa, when you went out this morning, I walked around here and accidentally entered the corner of the first floor. I'm sorry about that room."

He apologized for his rash intrusion, but Mr. Shen didn't seem to care about it, Luo Qin seemed to have accumulated all his courage, and continued to ask: "You know what's in that room, don't you?"

After hearing his question, Mr. Shen's demeanor finally changed a little.

But he seemed not to be worried, but to think of something else, something that did not please him.

Old Man Shen frowned in a rare way. Luo Qin still remembered Shen Dusheng's exhortation to him. He was worried that Old Man Shen would be angry, so he was about to change his words and stop asking, but after a short silence, Old Man took the initiative to say: " You are talking about the room where Dusheng lived when he was a child."

Seeing that the other party seemed to be about to say something, Luo Qin finally nodded.

Old Man Shen sighed, shook his head and said, "Actually, Dusheng has been living in that room since he was born. It contains his childhood toys and many other interesting things." A bit nostalgic, "When I was young, Du Sheng was much more interesting than now. I always liked to get into my arms, like a boy who would never get tired, happy every day, but unfortunately..."

Luo Qin keenly felt that something should have happened during this, but the old man did not continue, but skipped this part, and then said: "Something bad happened at that time, Du Sheng fell ill For a long time, he changed completely after that, he didn't like to laugh or talk, and he didn't know what he was thinking about every day, and he refused to continue living in his previous room. In the end, we had no choice but to Can leave his room unoccupied and let him live in the room upstairs."

Luo Qin listened intently to the old man's words. He really wanted to find out what caused Shen Du's voice to change. He also wanted to know about the photo on the wall.

Thinking this way in his heart, Luo Qin asked this question.

Mr. Shen was not surprised that he would ask this question, he nodded and said with a smile: "You are asking Fang Jinran?"

The name was said from the old man's mouth, Luo Qin's heart beat a little faster, he nodded and said, "Yes."

Ever since I saw that photo in that room, and the person in that photo was similar to himself, Luo Qin couldn't continue to pretend to be calm. Although he admitted that he was weak, he would let himself follow most of the time. In the rhythm of others, but when he really encounters a problem that must be clarified, he doesn't want to be confused.

He had to ask everything clearly so that he would not have any possibility of regret after making a decision.

Probably because Luo Qin's demeanor was too serious, Mr. Shen's tone of voice also became low: "Fang Jinran is Du Sheng's friend and his savior. When what happened to Du Sheng, he almost lost his life. It was Fang Jinran who saved him. , and took him to the hospital. They became friends after that, or at least that's what we thought at first."

Luo Qin hesitated and said, "Later..."

The old man said helplessly: "It was only later that we found out that Du Sheng liked him."

According to the old man, after that, Shen Dusheng's dependence on Fang Jinran gradually increased, almost to the point of morbidity, he followed Fang Jinran inseparably every day, tried every means to stay by his side every day, and was full of possessiveness, but No matter how they stick together, Shen Dusheng doesn't seem to be satisfied.

He began to pursue Fang Jinran passionately, but Fang Jinran had no thoughts on Shen Dusheng other than friendship. Under various problems, Fang Jinran finally went abroad to study, completely left Shen Dusheng aside, and deleted all contact information.

This is the past between Shen Dusheng and Fang Jinran.

After Luo Qin heard it, it was difficult to express his current mood clearly.

Since he met Shen Dusheng, the other party's normal state has always been indifferent, as if he didn't care about anything, and only had work in his eyes.

The descriptions he heard from Mr. Shen just now are paranoid, dependent, possessive, passionate pursuit of someone...

These were not Shen Dusheng that Luo Qin knew, this was something Luo Qin couldn't even imagine.

It turned out that Mr. Shen had ever been so close to crazy for others?It turns out that he also has uncontrollable emotions and desires like an ordinary person?

And it all came from Fang Jinran.

The bitterness in Luo Qin's heart was hard to suppress, but amidst this, there was a kind of other emotion outside of this that was at work.

He finds his pain real and overwhelming, but he also seems to be beginning to have a new judgment about the relationship, about whether he should continue, about all his past and future decisions.

After the wound was bloody opened, he seemed to have gradually escaped from the previous cage and was able to breathe fresh air independently.

In this pain, Luo Qin felt in a trance that even if he knew these things, even if he admitted that he was just a false substitute, he didn't seem to be unbearable and unable to continue living.

Mr. Shen doesn't know what Luo Qin is thinking. In his eyes, Luo Qin and Shen Dusheng have a deep relationship, so even if they talk about these old things, it has nothing to do with it, and it is impossible to destroy the relationship between them. question.

Mr. Shen went on to say: "However, this is already a thing of the past. Du Sheng has lost contact with Fang Jinran a long time ago. It would be better if the two of them did not meet each other. Du Sheng was too paranoid in that state back then. It's not a good thing to be together."

In order not to let the old man find out, Luo Qin could only forcefully maintain a smile.

He already had no courage to continue listening. He didn't dare to touch more of Shen Dusheng's past easily before, because he thought that as long as he knew that what he liked was Shen Dusheng in front of him, that would be enough. , He doesn't care about the past and the present, he just wants to cherish the present.

But at this moment he realized that he was just Shen Dusheng's projection of the past.

Maybe Shen Dusheng didn't really come out of the past, he just used another way to trap himself in the past.

After asking about Fang Jinran, Luo Qin thought, there is only one last thing left to confirm.

He continued to talk to Mr. Shen, and forced himself to cover his wound to make himself look normal. After they had dinner, Ji Ye came outside the mansion again and drove Luo Qin and Shen Dusheng back. .

When they left, what they said in front of Mr. Shen was naturally to go back to the place where they lived together.

It was the house given to Luo Qin and Shen Dusheng by Mr. Shen when they got engaged, but in fact, after the engagement, the two rarely went to that residence at all. Shen Dusheng lived in a residence closer to the company every day , while Luo Qin still lives in his rented house.Shen Dusheng seldom asked him, only when he needed to put on a show, he would send someone to pick Luo Qin up.

And now when they go back, of course Ji Ye will drive Luo Qin back to the rental house first, and Shen Dusheng will go back.

The whole journey was silent, this time Luo Qin didn't try to find words clumsily and persistently like before, and tried to ease the atmosphere in the car as if to please.

He silently turned his head to look out the window, but his eyes did not fall on any street scene.

Shen Dusheng was sitting next to him, looking at his abnormal appearance today, the anger generated in his heart because of all kinds of troubles kept his breath heavy, he really didn't understand what was going on with Luo Qin recently.

He found that he gradually couldn't understand Luo Qin, but when he tried to take the initiative to ask, his rationality made him swallow the words on his lips.

He didn't need to care about Luo Qin's emotions towards him, Luo Qin had always been the only one who begged him, and he had no reason to feel the other party's feelings in reverse.

After a long strange silence, Ji Ye parked the car downstairs of the rental house.

He looked back at the two people in the back seat. Because of the strange atmosphere today, he rationally chose not to make a sound.

Luo Qin came back to his senses, his heart beat a little faster, because he decided to seriously ask about the things that had troubled him all day.

If he didn't figure it out, he might still be troubled for a long time. Although he knew that he might get an answer that wasn't what he expected, Luo Qin still decided to ask.

Probably because of all kinds of scumbag souls that existed in his body, Luo Qin gradually realized the existence of courage.

Whenever he looked at the souls of the scumbags, he always used his body to solve various problems easily with a nonchalant attitude. Although he sometimes felt that such behavior was too aggressive and extreme, he really did There is wonder and envy.

He gradually began to realize that even in the same situation, different attitudes and handling methods can completely change the outcome.

Maybe he can do it occasionally, and he can decide for himself once in a while.

Luo Qin didn't get out of the car immediately, he turned around and looked at Shen Dusheng intently with his dark eyes, and finally said: "Mr. Shen, I'm sorry that I entered your former room today."

Hearing the beginning of Luo Qin's words, Shen Dusheng's original expression changed, and became gloomy instantly: "You went to my room? Who told you to go?"

When he spoke, he almost gritted his teeth, and even his tone became a little unusual.

At the same time as he said this, he seemed to realize something, turned his head and glanced at Ji Ye, Ji Ye immediately understood, then obediently got up and walked out of the car.

Luo Qin also noticed Ji Ye's departure. After Ji Ye left, Shen Dusheng continued to ask, and Luo Qin continued: "Yes, I shouldn't go in casually, it's just..."

Shen Dusheng was still angry because Luo Qin went to his room without permission, and he was about to throw a tantrum, but Luo Qin's words made him calm down again in an instant, Luo Qin said: "That Mr. Fang Jinran, I once saw pass him."

When Fang Jinran was mentioned, Shen Dusheng's expression suddenly became much more dignified.

He seemed to cherish this person very much, even if he just heard this name, he would immediately become dignified.

Shen Dusheng actually knew that Luo Qin had met Fang Jinran, because he had read Luo Qin's information and knew that Luo Qin had worked outside Fang Jinran's university. At that time, Luo Qin was only about 16 years old, and Fang Jinran was 20 years old. It was when Shen Dusheng met Fang Jinran.

From the beginning to the end, after hearing the name "Fang Jinran", Shen Du's voice did not continue, but Luo Qin continued: "Grandpa... Mr. Shen told me something about you and Mr. Fang Jinran, I know that your acquaintance is through some sources, and I also know that you have done many things for that Mr. Fang..."

Shen Dusheng frowned tightly because of Luo Qin's words. For some reason, he found these words especially harsh.

So before the other party finished speaking, he interrupted Luo Qin indifferently and forcefully: "What does that have to do with you?"

Luo Qin's words were interrupted at this point, his face was extremely pale under the reflection of the street lamp, and when he heard the other party's rebuttal without hesitation, he lowered his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly before saying: "Yes, it should have nothing to do with me in the first place. relation."

The boredom in Shen Dusheng's heart became more and more intense, not only because of Fang Jinran, but also because Luo Qin was the one who mentioned Fang Jinran. He looked out the window and said, "Are you still not getting out of the car? What's the point of asking about these past things?"

Luo Qin was urged by him like this, but he still had no intention of getting out of the car, and only said: "I only have one last question, and I will leave after asking this question."

Shen Dusheng impatiently pinched a cigarette in his hand, but because he was in the car, he didn't light it, but kept playing with his fingers.

Then he heard Luo Qin ask: "When Mr. Shen saw me in an accident, he rescued me, helped me solve the problem, took care of me, and finally signed an agreement with me to pretend to be engaged, because..."

This question seemed to have exhausted all Luo Qin's strength, so that when he finally said those words, his voice was hoarse, and he asked, "Is it because I look similar to Mr. Fang Jinran?" ?”

And Shen Dusheng didn't even know himself, when he heard this question, his expression had completely changed.

But he quickly turned his head away, and didn't touch Luo Qin's eyes that seemed to penetrate people's hearts. He just said honestly and almost indifferently: "Yes."

He didn't lie, just as Shen Dusheng guessed, the reason why he noticed Luo Qin at the beginning was indeed because Luo Qin had many similarities with Fang Jinran. In fact, the eyebrows and eyes were second, but this is a very Mysterious feeling, as long as you have seen them, you will probably feel that they are similar.

Luo Qin at that time made Shen Dusheng think of the time when he first met Fang Jinran, that's why he asked Ji Ye to stop the car that day, and then he walked to Luo Qin's side with an umbrella, and from the group of debt collectors He took Luo Qin out of his hand.

This is indeed the fact, there is nothing to deny, Shen Dusheng thought so.

And Luo Qin looked at Shen Dusheng's side face, and his eyes that refused to meet his eyes, with a particularly calm expression.

Even he himself couldn't imagine that after getting such an answer, he could still be so calm.There was no hysteria, nor any sharp pain. He even felt that maybe he had already guessed the answer before asking.

He finally got the answer he wanted, then he lowered his eyes quietly, opened the car door and walked out.

Ji Ye was waiting not far from the car, and when he saw Luo Qin coming out, he quickly pressed the game he was playing, then raised his head and asked in surprise: "Mr. Luo Qin, have you finished chatting so quickly?" ?”

Luo Qin lowered his head, Ji Ye couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could clearly see tears rolling down his cheeks.

Although Luo Qin has always had that gentle look, and he seldom really smiles happily, he has never shed tears in front of others. Seeing these tears now, Ji Ye was a little nervous, But before he could think of something to comfort him, he saw Luo Qin raised his head towards him.

Although there were still tears on his cheeks, Luo Qin was smiling when facing him.

That smile was softened and blurred by the dim streetlights.

"We've finished chatting." Luo Qin responded softly to Ji Ye's question, then nodded to the other party, and thanked him earnestly: "Thank you for your care during this time."

Luo Qin himself is very good-looking, which is the consensus of many people, and when he smiles, his appearance is naturally more beautiful, Ji Ye feels that he seems to see a sense of freedom in despair.

And before Ji Ye could figure out what was going on in front of him, Luo Qin had already turned around and entered the corridor of the rental house alone.

Ji Ye stared at his back for a while, then finally came back to his senses, and then returned to the car.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Ji Ye looked back at his boss who was silent like a stone statue at the moment, wondering whether he should speak or not.

But just as he was thinking about it, he heard Shen Dusheng say in a muffled and tired voice: "Is he really gone?"

Ji Ye said truthfully: "Yes, Mr. Shen, he has already entered the building."

Shen Dusheng was silent for a long time, he watched Ji Ye start the ignition and was about to leave, but at this moment he asked abruptly: "Did you say something just now?"

Ji Ye: "..."

In order to better answer Shen Dusheng's question, he had no choice but to turn off the car again, and then replied: "Yes."

He carefully described the conversation between himself and Luo Qin just now and the process from the beginning to the end. At the end, seeing that Shen Du's voice seemed to be silent in silence, he continued to express his feelings: "He seems very sad, But I still don't understand why he said that thank you to me. I don't usually do anything, but I just drive occasionally, and he said it like... "

It was as if this was the last time he let Ji Ye pick him up, and they would never see each other again.

Ji Ye felt this way, but he still didn't say it in the end.

And when he looked back at Shen Dusheng's demeanor, he realized that Shen Dusheng had a gloomy face and had already deformed the cigarette in his hand.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, before Shen Dusheng finally said: "Go back, wait for him to figure it out."

He couldn't understand why Luo Qin insisted on asking this question, and he couldn't understand the meaning of this question, but in his opinion, it didn't matter if Luo Qin knew about it, anyway, Luo Qin would meet sooner or later Think clearly, I am not as good as Shang Jinran.

He thought so.

But for some reason, thinking of the scene where Luo Qin left silently just now, Shen Dusheng rarely felt flustered in his heart.

Shen Dusheng thought that as long as he gave Luo Qin enough time, Luo Qin would be able to restore his previous appearance.

But what he didn't expect was that after five full days, he didn't hear from Luo Qin again.

Normally, Luo Qin would send messages to Shen Dusheng every day, even if Shen Dusheng ignored him, he would never tire of it, caring about Shen Dusheng's life, reminding him to eat lunch, let him pay attention to rest and so on.

But now five days have passed, Luo Qin has not sent him a message abnormally.

At the beginning, Shen Dusheng didn't notice much, but after a long time, he couldn't help but start to care.

When a certain rhythm that has been used to for a long time is suddenly broken, things will become unmanageable. Shen Dusheng originally thought that as long as he didn't care about these things, he would soon forget Luo Qin, but it never happened. In a few days, he found that instead of throwing Luo Qin out of his mind, he began to care more and more uncontrollably.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he finally asked Ji Ye to contact Luo Qin, wanting to know what he was doing these days.

However, Ji Ye quickly gave him feedback.

He couldn't contact Luo Qin anymore.
