The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

"Sir, Mr. Gong is here to visit. He is waiting outside the door and looks a little anxious." Aaron said.

Xu Yanze put down the documents in his hand and looked up, with a hint of doubt in his tired expression.

Are you coming to see me so late?

Xu Yanze stood up, simply straightened the wrinkles of his clothes, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and walked over.

"Gong Cheng, what do you have..."

Without waiting for Xu Yanze to speak, Gong Cheng hurried forward and grabbed Xu Yanze's wrist, then held the screen of his mobile phone in front of Xu Yanze.

At just one glance, Xu Yanze's eyes showed a look of surprise.

"Xu Yanze, do you remember this photo?"

"Do you remember when the three of us took this photo together?" Gong Cheng's hand, which was holding Xu Yanze's wrist, was shaking violently.

Xu Yanze frowned slightly, pursed his lips and looked at Tao Zhi's bright smiling face in the photo, as if he was trying to tell whether the photo was real or not.

"Gong Cheng, I don't understand what you mean."

"I have never taken this kind of photo with Tao Zhi and you, and considering how much Tao Zhi hates me, he would not allow me to get so close to him."

"I think you must have heard some rumors before. Some unpleasant things happened between Tao Zhi and I when we were young."

"So Tao Zhi has always hated me so much that he refused to meet me for the last time even when he was in prison."

"I don't know where you got this picture, but the things in the photo have never happened and there is no possibility of it happening." Xu Yanze said with his eyes lowered.

"I had someone analyze it before I came here. The photo is not composited. It is an original photo taken five years ago," said Gong Cheng.

Xu Yanze looked dazed, as if he had not understood what Gong Cheng said.

Xu Yanze's gaze fell on Gong Cheng's face and met Gong Cheng's emotional eyes.

"But I don't have any impression." Xu Yanze said.

Gong Cheng opened WeChat and showed Xu Yanze the WeChat account of the girl who sent the photo.

"She told me that the photo was taken of the three of us together, and she also sent the photo to you, but you didn't bring your phone with you at the time, so you added it after you went back." Gong Cheng said.

Xu Yanze was stunned when he heard this.

I rarely carry my cell phone with me because of illness.

"You wait."

After Xu Yanze finished speaking, he turned and went to his study, picked up the phone on the table, and hurried back to Gong Cheng.

Xu Yanze looked at the information on Gong Cheng's mobile phone screen and entered the girl's WeChat ID. The page switched to the girl's personal information page. The three words "send message" below made Xu Yanze forget to breathe for a moment.

I did add this girl, but it has been so long that I no longer have any chat history with her.

But why do I have no memory of adding WeChat, and I can't recall the scene when taking the photos?

If I had really had the honor of taking such a photo with Tao Zhi, I would never forget it and would even treasure it.

Gong Cheng naturally saw the three words "Send message" on Xu Yanze's mobile phone screen and laughed out loud for a moment.

Xu Yanze clutched his phone with a bewildered look on his face. All that came to his mind was the scene of Tao Zhi taking the lead in humiliating and scolding him after the love letter incident, and the feeling of humiliation and humiliation when he couldn't help but get close to Tao Zhi after returning to China, and his thoughts were exposed by Tao Zhi with a sneer.

He clearly hated my approach from the beginning to the end, so how could he be willing to stand beside me and smile so harmlessly and brightly?

It feels like my memory has been tampered with.

Xu Yanze felt as if he was enveloped by an extreme sense of absurdity, and his heartbeat quickened.

Gong Cheng laughed too hard and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"Xu Yanze, they all said I was sick."

"I have no evidence to prove that I am not ill, and those fragmented memories are just said to be hallucinations or fantasies."

"Since I returned to China, Tao Zhi Tao Zhi has always been on my mind. He is like an evil ghost haunting me and has become a nightmare that I can never get rid of."

"But there will be many, many moments when some fragmented images that I have no memory of will appear in my mind."

"In those pictures, he is gentle and cute. He can laugh and play like a normal person or cry out of grievance."

"He is obviously real and warm."

“Those images were messy and fragmented, blurry and short-lived, but my heart was moved by every look of his.”

"I should hate him, but I found myself in those pictures almost obsessively in love with him."

"During this time, I almost convinced myself that I was sick."

"I told myself that it was because of the repression and fear during those years that I couldn't forget the pain, so I created a different image of Tao Zhi in my mind to comfort myself."

"But look at this photo. This photo is real."

"The Tao Zhi in the photo is completely different from the Tao Zhi in our memory. This Tao Zhi is the Tao Zhi I have always wanted to describe to the psychiatrist."

Gong Cheng became excited as he spoke, grabbing Xu Yanze's arm with both hands, bloodshot in his eyes and a look of madness.

"Xu Yanze, he exists, and that Tao Zhi exists." Gong Cheng's voice trembled.

"But he's dead."

"Don't you know? He died in prison." Xu Yanze replied.
