Tiandi Baiju

In the next few days, Du Jing did not contact Huang Ting again.

Wan City in October was already a little chilly, Zhou Luoyang didn't propose to go out, so Du Jing stayed at home all day, as natural as staying in the dormitory before.After adding the "captain", the two sides chatted briefly.Zhou Luoyang glanced at Du Jing's cell phone and said, "Are you sure it's him?"

Du Jing sighed, and looked through the information of "Captain". Through Changyi's channel, the personal information has been initially obtained.

The name of the "captain" is Lu Zhongyu. He is single and from Shandong. He has a cat at home. He used to work in a company selling outdoor sports equipment. He resigned in March this year.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Luoyang said.

"Talking about you." Du Jing said, "He asked us what we do, and invited us to go hiking or travel together."

Zhou Luoyang glanced at Lu Zhongyu's circle of friends, and said, "Has he dated the little priest?"

"I don't know." Du Jing said, "Zhuang Li is monitoring him."

For this group of private detectives, it is almost effortless to follow a person.Du Jing said: "He has been asking to add you, and he has mentioned it several times. Do you want to add him?"

Zhou Luoyang said, "Forget it, I'm afraid that something bad will happen accidentally."

Du Jing said: "He fell in love with you at first sight, this may be a breakthrough."

Zhou Luoyang: "This is not fun."

Du Jing replied: "Love at first sight is the only way to love, like having cholera."

Zhou Luoyang naturally knew that what Du Jing was referring to was "Love in the Time of Cholera". That book had always been in their dormitory, and it was also Zhou Luoyang's favorite book.

Zhou Luoyang held his pen in his mouth and did not continue the topic, but took a peek at Du Jing.And Du Jing is preparing information on Ho Chi Minh City for the next action.

There were several messages on WeChat, Zhou Luoyang thought about it and said, "I'll add him."

Du Jing then pushed Lu Zhongyu's business card to Zhou Luoyang, saying, "Finally, I can't bear it anymore."

Zhou Luoyang said, "I just want you to concentrate on your work."

The other side passed quickly, Zhou Luoyang greeted Lu Zhongyu, and the first sentence he asked was [Are you with Groot? 】

After Zhou Luoyang answered, Lu Zhongyu asked him out for dinner at night, and Zhou Luoyang asked: 【Only the two of us? 】

Lu Zhongyu didn't answer, and asked after 5 minutes: [Does Groot want to come together? 】

Zhou Luoyang said to himself: "Could this person be targeting me?"

Du Jing didn't answer.

"Are you jealous?" Zhou Luoyang joked.

Du Jing used the landlord's fitness equipment to do sit-ups in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Zhou Luoyang didn't move it when he rented the house, and left the facilities for Le Yao to do some simple rehabilitation.But he specifically reminded Du Jing not to exercise when Le Yao came home.

Du Jing said: "No, it just triggered a self-protection mechanism."

Zhou Luoyang said: "What protection mechanism?"

Du Jing did two sets of sit-ups and said: "When I was training at the FBI, the therapy proposed in the psychology course was to alleviate emotional disorders. The agent needs to select a beam of "light" and build a spiritual self-defense around it. The mechanism can be a person or an object, a relative, a child, a friend, a pet, or even a tree or a smell. Use this defense mechanism to block out all attacks that can cause psychological trauma."

Zhou Luoyang didn't understand, so he lowered his head and returned Lu Zhongyu's news, and said casually, "Oh, then what?"

Du Jing explained to him: "For example, if you choose 'mother', then when you perform the task, no test can shake you. Because everything you do is to go home alive and meet your mother, in other words In other words, Mom is your only hope of survival."

Zhou Luoyang was just listening casually at first, and when he was focusing on two things, he was aroused by Du Jing's words.

"So if it's a lover," Zhou Luoyang said, "then everything you do is for your lover?"

Du Jing said: "Not completely, but when you are faced with murder or some kind of moral choice, the existence of light will greatly alleviate your pain. As long as you remember, everything you are doing now is to protect your children , it’s not that difficult to start.”

"Ah," Zhou Luoyang understood, "it's like a spiritual sustenance."

"Well," Du Jing sat down, started to practice one-handed dumbbells casually, and said, "Spiritual sustenance."

On Lu Zhongyu's side, there was not much foreshadowing in the topic, after a few pleasantries, he asked Zhou Luoyang: [Groot wanted to chase you, so he brought you to play in the secret room, did he tell you? 】

Zhou Luoyang didn't want to answer him anymore.

Lu Zhongyu asked again: 【Do you like Groot? 】

Zhou Luoyang asked again: "What is this sustenance?"

Du Jing didn't answer, and switched the dumbbell to his right hand: "What did the mercenary captain say?"

"He asked me if I like you." Zhou Luoyang said helplessly, "How should I answer?"

Du Jing said, "Just tell the truth."

Zhou Luoyang said happily, "Then I'll tell the truth."

Du Jing didn't answer, got up and started doing four sets of exercises with dumbbells in both hands.Zhou Luoyang thought for a moment and replied to Lu Zhongyu.

Five minutes later, a bunch of news came from Lu Zhongyu, and Zhou Luoyang didn't want to chat with him anymore.

Zhou Luoyang replied: [Yes, I like him. 】

Lu Zhongyu's reply was: [But I feel like you don't like him very much.You are quite cold in the secret room, and you don't seem to be pretending to be indifferent to him. 】

Then it was Lu Zhongyu's analysis based on his observation that Zhou Luoyang didn't like Du Jing in the secret room that day.

【Just because we're not together doesn't mean I don't like him. 】Zhou Luoyang gave a forceful answer,【To tell you the truth, I like him, but he doesn't like me. 】

Lu Zhongyu: 【Why do I feel like I'm upside down? 】

Zhou Luoyang: [You can think whatever you want. 】

Zhou Luoyang didn't care what the murderer thought. If Lu Zhongyu was confirmed as a suspect, it meant that this guy indirectly killed more than one person.He can't look at death calmly like Du Jing, and he despises the most by using emotions to cheat and commit crimes.

However, reason kept persuading him, Lu Zhongyu had not been convicted yet, what if he was wronged?Preconceptions are also unfair to him.

So Zhou Luoyang suppressed his disgust, and replied him: [Do you like the little priest? 】

Lu Zhongyu replied: [I don't have any feelings for him, I don't like his type, but I think I have to take care of him.The professor did the same to the kid he brought, didn't you notice?The professor also has feelings for you. Did you go to dinner together later? 】

Zhou Luoyang: [You think too much, you just met as friends. 】

Lu Zhongyu: [May I ask you a question? 】

Before Zhou Luoyang could reply, Lu Zhongyu sent another message: 【Why did you kill me in the end that day?I don't know if my understanding is correct. 】

"How did you answer?" Du Jing finally asked.

Zhou Luoyang replied: "Didn't you ask me to tell the truth? I just said I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all."

Du Jing hummed, and replied: "That's the truth, I don't like you either."

Zhou Luoyang said calmly: "That's even." After speaking, he got up and changed his clothes: "I also want to exercise."

Du Jing said: "Don't train too hard, your current figure is just right, neutral, and occasionally it can make me have illusions."

Zhou Luoyang said: "You also know that it is an illusion, which is caused by hormonal disorders."

It was the same in the past, Du Jing's manic phase caused him to have a long-term high and strong sexual desire, and if he couldn't find vent for a long time, it would turn into a male animal's desire to attack.But Zhou Luoyang could always calm him down at the right time. In fact, he felt that Du Jing's mania was much easier to serve than the depression phase.

Zhou Luoyang went into the room and changed his pajamas into sportswear. Du Jing went to the dining table to get a towel, passing by Zhou Luoyang's cell phone, but didn't check the chat records between Zhou Luoyang and Lu Zhongyu.

Zhou Luoyang got on the treadmill and glanced at Du Jing.

"Du Jing?" Zhou Luoyang stopped, thinking that maybe he said something wrong just now.

"I'm fine." Du Jing stopped his movements and remained silent for a while, his shoulders were obviously heaving due to panting, Zhou Luoyang wanted to exercise with him for a while, and by the way, Du Jing said: "It may be another stage, let me Later."

In the case of biphasic mixed episodes, the transition can be very distressing.Zhou Luoyang didn't disturb him, so Du Jing got up and left.

Depression, mania, depression, mania, after reuniting with Du Jing, in just over a month, Du Jing's cycle of mixed episodes has reached four times, and the condition has become more serious than before.

After this reunion, Zhou Luoyang occasionally had ominous thoughts, maybe Du Jing himself felt it, and to put it more seriously, use four words to describe it - time is running out.Just like a terminally ill patient, he has a premonition that the days ahead are not many, and it is for this reason that he returns to himself.

No, no, he will be fine.

Zhou Luoyang forcibly suppressed this thought that had occurred countless times. He put on his headphones on the treadmill and started playing Du Jing's favorite song "Stan" on a loop. He remembered the summer vacation of the second year after they met.

After returning from spring outing, Du Jing's condition has stabilized a lot. Looking back now, Zhou Luoyang feels that something happened between the two of them during the summer vacation at the end of the freshman semester, but it was so hazy that he couldn't catch it.

Before the holiday, Du Jing went back to Madrid to visit his mother at his stepfather's house. At his invitation, Zhou Luoyang also went.

Du Jing's family is quite large, with small estates in Madrid and Barcelona. His stepfather is in the wine business. Besides Du Jing, there are two mixed-race younger brothers in the family, who are twins.There are step-grandfather, step-grandmother, and a step-great-grandmother of a higher generation above the stepfather.

Du Jing introduced Zhou Luoyang to his big family, and simply said: "This is my friend, we are going to go to Corsica and Sicily by boat for a few days."

"Chinese, you are welcome!" said the stepfather.

Du Jing's stepfather is different from what he described, he is a very talkative person.Although Zhou Luoyang couldn't understand what he was saying most of the time, he could only rely on Du Jing to translate.His mother was less talkative, spending most of her time with her twins in the upstairs room.

"Are you guys gay?"

One day during dinner, my stepfather asked Zhou Luoyang in English.

Zhou Luoyang subconsciously glanced at Du Jing.

Du Jing said in Chinese: "How do you want me to answer?"

Zhou Luoyang said: "Just tell the truth."

Du Jing answered a long sentence in Spanish.

Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing suspiciously, and asked, "What did you say?"

Du Jing replied: "If you tell me to tell the truth, I will tell the truth."

Zhou Luoyang said: "But that sentence is very long, and I don't sound like 'no'. I can still guess the meaning in simple Spanish."

Du Jing's mother said in Chinese: "He said that although you are friends, you are closer than lovers."

Zhou Luoyang smiled, and Du Jing's mother said again: "It's the first time in so many years that Du Jing brought a friend home. Simon thought you were lovers, please forgive his impoliteness."

Zhou Luoyang immediately smiled and said, "It doesn't matter."

Mother asked again: "Did he fall in love at school?"

Zhou Luoyang said, "No."

Du Jing didn't interrupt the whole time. His mother said, "Thank you very much for taking care of him. He looks much better than before when he came back this time."

Zhou Luoyang nodded, and moved Du Jing with his elbow, but Du Jing didn't want his family to mention his illness, so he replied: "I'm already cured, I haven't been sick for a long time, let's eat."

During the dinner, the whole family didn't care about Du Jing's existence, and the stepfather just greeted him politely, treating him as air.Du Jing's attention was focused on Zhou Luoyang most of the time, and occasionally he had to answer a few questions his grandparents asked him.The atmosphere of the meal was good, but Zhou Luoyang felt uncomfortable eating.

In addition to being uncomfortable with cold ham and hard bread with ketchup, Zhou Luoyang always felt that some kind of emotion was flowing during the banquet, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

It wasn't until dessert was served that Zhou Luoyang finally discovered the reason - the feeling came from Du Jing.

Du Jing has been habitually looking at the faces of the whole family since he came to the table.

This includes stepfathers, grandparents, and even housekeepers.His politeness seemed a little cautious, and when his grandparents looked at him, Du Jing wanted to say something.But the other party just smiled politely, turned his head away, and continued to discuss their topic in Spanish.

This is the Du Jing that Zhou Luoyang has never seen before. He seemed to see Du Jing when he was a child through this meal. His mother remarried when he was six years old. Since then, Du Jing has to work hard to learn how to be in this family. survive.

Everyone just treats him as a buy-one-get-one gift for the eldest son of the family when he gets married, raises him to an adult, and lets him go out to fend for himself, so there is no need to worry about it.

During that summer vacation, a heat wave swept across Europe, and the scorching heat could scorch the crops. Du Jing’s car shut down several times due to the overheating of the water tank. I laughed.

"Do you regret crashing your Ferrari?" Zhou Luoyang said, "You spent a lot of money on them, so it seems..."

"The Ferrari was bought with my biological father's inheritance. It was the money he left me for my marriage," Du Jing replied. "He left me a lot of money. I bought that car and still have a lot left. Slow flower."

Zhou Luoyang thought to himself, as long as you like it.

"You spent all the money, does your mother have any objection?" Zhou Luoyang asked.

Du Jing put on the hood of the car and said, "No. No one wants to mention him. He is a lunatic. I inherited this disease from him. It's too hot... go under the tree and wait for someone to fix it."

The two sat on the ground under a tree by the side of the road. Du Jing unscrewed a bottle of scalding drinking water and handed it to Zhou Luoyang.

"It's really too hot." Zhou Luoyang's shirt was wet and dry, dry and wet again.

"So I don't like the summer here." Du Jing said.

Zhou Luoyang still remembered the first time they cleaned together, Du Jing mentioned the day of his mother's remarriage. Compared with here, the summer in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is indeed more comfortable. No matter how hot it is, there are green shades and breezes.

"It's going to rain soon," Zhou Luoyang said, "Maybe the next rain will be better."

Du Jingdao: "For the locals, you can't just say it's raining."

Zhou Luoyang: "???"

As soon as the words fell, the wind became stronger and stronger, and the dark clouds were blown over.Du Jing raised his head and said, "You did a good job, it's going to rain."

Zhou Luoyang: "This is also a taboo???"

In that silence, the rain began to fall. At first it was light rain, so the two stood up and leaned as close together as possible under the tree to avoid the rain.Later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the rain could no longer be hidden under the trees, and the overwhelming water drenched the two of them into drowned chickens.Du Jing said to Zhou Luoyang in the heavy rain, "I have to find a place to hide from the rain!"

"Let's go!" Zhou Luoyang said loudly.

So the two left the car in the mud, crossed the field, and ran to the distant farm.

Du Jing took off his shirt and said to Zhou Luoyang, "You can take off your clothes! Go this way! Don't run under the tree! Watch out for thunder!"

Zhou Luoyang was wearing a shirt, black shorts, and sneakers. His whole body was already soaked, so he had to take off his shirt. He wanted to find a bigger tree, but was reminded by Du Jingyi, so he had to turn around and run towards him.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and Du Jing paused for a short while, waiting for Zhou Luoyang to arrive before him, holding his hand and running together.

It wasn't the first time they held hands, but it was the one Zhou Luoyang remembered most.

Du Jing's hands were covered with rainwater, but they were clenched tightly.The glare of lightning illuminated Du Jing's fair shoulders and beautiful muscular outlines.

In the storm, lightning and thunder, they bare their upper body on the wheat field, like two naked animals, found each other in the sky and the earth, met and fled together.

Finally, they made their way across fields full of wheat to an unlocked makeshift barn at the edge of the field.

Zhou Luoyang sneezed and said, "I remember the same scene was described in a book, and I finally encountered it once."

"John Christopher." Du Jing wringed the water from his shirt.

Zhou Luoyang sneezed again, and the temperature plummeted, making him shiver.

Du Jing shook off his shirt, spread it on the floor, and said, "Sit here, it's warmer." He took the initiative to separate his long legs, and patted the ground between his legs like a child.

Zhou Luoyang was really cold, seeing Du Jing's naked chest was like seeing a heater, and after getting permission, he immediately moved closer consciously.

In the previous bedroom, their beds were always side by side, Zhou Luoyang never minded sleeping with Du Jing.When the cold snap came, they would occasionally overlap their quilts and huddle in the bed, while Du Jing hugged Zhou Luoyang from behind.

At this time, he sat in front of Du Jing, leaned against his bare chest, and rested his head comfortably on his shoulder, feeling his heart beating powerfully on his back.

Du Jing made his hand and organized his wallet.The wallet was wet from the rain, Zhou Luoyang glanced at it, and said unexpectedly: "I didn't see you have this photo before."

"I found it in the book the day before yesterday." After returning home, Du Jing rearranged the bookshelf and found an old yellowed photo from a book of Don Quixote. The photo shows a man wearing a fisherman's hat with a The kid dressed as a pirate and holding a rapier knew it was Du Jing without asking.

Du Jing passed the photo to Zhou Luoyang, and Zhou Luoyang took it and looked at it.

"Is your father?"

Du Jing didn't answer.

Zhou Luoyang was very surprised. Du Jing's father looked exactly like him. He couldn't tell what he looked like when he was a child, but when he grew up, except for the scar on his face, Du Jing was a copy of his father.

He felt that Du Jing might not want to mention his late father, so he changed the subject.

"I saw a church on the way," Zhou Luoyang changed the subject, and said, "Is it a Catholic church?"

"Yes," Du Jing said, "many people here are Catholics, and Catholicism opposes homosexuality, so I don't know what your stepfather suddenly asked you that day, what did you mean?"

Zhou Luoyang replied: "Don't think about it, he shouldn't have any other intentions, just to see that we have a good relationship. It's an era, and same-sex marriage is legal in Spain." He returned the photo to Du Jing.
