Delusion Master

Li Minxing stood by the window, pulled the slits of the blinds and peeped out. Seeing the figures of Bai Yuan and Wei Lin disappearing at the corner of the green belt, he began to feel nervous again.

After repeatedly confirming that the door was locked, he dragged a sofa chair firmly against the door, paced anxiously back and forth in the living room, and muttered to himself: "They don't believe what I said is true, even though I myself I can't believe it...but this time is different, this time is really different...no, I have to find real evidence to prove to them..."

"Calm down, calm down and think about it, Li Minxing. Where do you offend others to the point of killing you? There are no financial disputes, and the circle of interpersonal relationships is narrow. You are just a programmer who plays with computers—computers Yes, computer!" He hurried into the study, opened the laptop, and murmured, "The company's computer is equipped with a monitoring program, and you are unlikely to use it for things other than work. News, then only this computer at home is left..."

He retrieved all his operation records on this computer, flipped forward from the present, eliminated the routine parts, picked out those in doubt, and checked them one by one, a week ago, a month ago, three months ago...

"This IP address..." After checking for a full five hours, he suddenly stopped moving his mouse finger, "I remember! The mysterious system full of strange graphics and data that I invaded earlier - but after Wei Lin They treat, and I've proven that's part of the delusion, too."

He opened this address while talking, and the pop-up was still a comprehensive literature forum with a pink interface: "It's very ordinary, there's nothing to-" Li Minxing suddenly stopped talking, and suddenly thought of something, and cried out annoyedly: "Cover program! The other party only needs to find out which port I am invading from, and hang a cover program on that port, so that when I log in again, it will jump to the address specified by the other party, and the other party can track my IP in turn! The second time I logged in was more than a week ago, the day I came back from the treatment center, and the recent accidents all started after that day!"

As if someone had given him a shot in the arm, he instantly cheered up. Although his face was blue and the whites of his eyes were red, he entered an extremely excited state: "What about the cover procedure? Am I only going in through this port? Just kidding." , any computer, as long as it is connected to the Internet, there are 65535 'doors' to communicate with the outside world, do you think you can lock all the doors?" He began to write a Trojan horse like flying fingers, ready to let it follow the opponent The network operation of the computer is mixed into the computer system, and then one of the more than 6 ports is secretly opened.You can use software to quietly invade from another open port.

As long as he can re-enter that system, he can prove to Wei Lin and Bai Yuan that at least one of the things that happened during his illness is real and not delusional—the first one.It's like finding the beginning and most critical link in a long chain of interlocking links.

"Come on, let's see if it's you guys who kill me first, or whether I'll crack the encryption system first and figure out the tricks hidden in it!" Li Minxing's eyes were full of eager war, and in the field he was best at and most confident in, he challenged the other party. A silent challenge was launched.

+ + + + + +

When Wei Lin returned home, he completed the rehab application form and leave procedures in one go while his mobility had not faded. There was still a tens of thousands of words of work report to write, which he planned to do tomorrow during the day.Anyway, there are still two days left in the holiday, right? Thinking so happily, he turned on the computer game and played it almost all night.

As a result, he fell asleep until the next afternoon. When the phone rang at three o'clock, he crawled out of the quilt in a daze to answer: "Hello..."

"Are you taking a nap, or did you not get up at all today?" Bai Yuan asked.

Wei Lin yawned and answered, "What day is 'today'?"

"..." Bai Yuan lowered his voice, with a hint of threat in his tone, "It's the day you promised to come to my house to cook."

"Ahhh! I remember, I remember." Wei Lin suddenly woke up more than half, "It's...it's only 03:30, I still have time to go there in the evening."

Bai Yuan paused for a few seconds and said, "I'm in the supermarket."

Wei Lin: "Oh."

"I don't know what to buy."

"Whatever you want, you can buy whatever you want, fish, meat, eggs and vegetables. I can basically cook the ingredients in the supermarket."

Bai Yuan gritted his teeth, and finally confessed with great reluctance: "For some ingredients, I can't connect the appearance of them cut and cooked on the plate with the appearance of the shelves in the supermarket."

Wei Lin was stunned, and laughed: "You never bought vegetables? Bai Xiansen, you are not only a local tyrant, but also a young master who doesn't distinguish between five grains!"

Bai Yuan: "..."

Wei Lin: "Forget it, I'll send the Buddha to the west, go over and buy it for you, which supermarket, give me the address."

Loaded with a few big shopping bags, when he drove to Bai Yuan's house, Wei Lin was shocked by the single-family villa with a courtyard, and said jealously: "I want to beat the local tyrants and divide the land."

"Want to live? I can rent the first floor to you. You don't need to pay rent. You can just cook breakfast and dinner every day." Bai Yuan said.

Wei Lin thought he was joking, and wanted to respond with a few words of ridicule, but seeing that his expression was serious, it didn't look like he was joking, so he took back what he almost said, and said with a smile: "Cooking is a fun thing to do occasionally. , doing it every day is called the burden of life.”

Bai Yuan nodded: "That's right, then you can stay here and cook me a meal once in a while."

Wei Lin moved the shopping bag, and declined politely: "You are too high-end, and I am not used to living in it. The gold and silver nests are not as good as my own kennels. I'd rather live in my own home more comfortably."

Bai Yuan thought to himself: He is shy.That's right, from a crush to cohabitation, the span is a bit long, so he needs to be given time to prepare mentally.So we stopped mentioning this topic and carried the heavy shopping bags into the door together.

As soon as Wei Lin saw the kitchen, he exclaimed that it was beautiful. Not only was it clean and spacious, it also had all kinds of electrical appliances, equipment, and kitchen utensils, but it was too brand new, as if it was newly purchased.

He took out the ingredients and seasonings from the shopping bag and placed them one by one on the wide cooking table, looking back at Bai Yuan sitting on a chair in the restaurant outside, looking at the kitchen in awe. "Don't just watch, come and help." He greeted the other party.

Bai Yuan remained motionless: "I just want to watch you work."

Wei Lin was annoyed: "I haven't written a report yet, can't you save me some time? Don't open your mouth so fast, get out and work!"

Bai Yuan was indifferent: "This mission report? I'll write it for you, you just need to be in charge of the kitchen."

Now Wei Lin had nothing to say, so he resigned himself to washing and choosing vegetables.

Bai Yuan really moved a laptop and put it on the dining table. While writing work reports, he looked up at Wei Lin in the kitchen from time to time——

The sunny and warm sunshine in the autumn afternoon poured in through the window, casting a halo on the busy young people.He wore a newly bought sky blue apron, his hair was reflected golden brown, and his bangs danced slightly with the movement of chopping vegetables in his hands.

Bai Yuan felt that he usually looked noisy, but now he seemed unusually quiet and focused when cooking, as if he had respect and devotion to food, and his every move was skillful and leisurely.

This picture looks so beautiful, and it vaguely contains a definition of "home" that he has not seen for a long time: warm, comfortable, safe, and down-to-earth.It injects vitality into the cold mansion, so everything around it seems to be awakened, and suddenly has bright colors and fresh breath.

Bai Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand, and tightly covered the emerald green left eye.

Wei Lin turned his head to see it at this moment, and asked, "What's the matter, headache... eye pain?"

Bai Yuan shook his head and immediately put down his hands: "No, it's fine."

"Is it really okay?" Wei Lin came over, put a plate of freshly cooked spicy fried snails on the dining table, and stared at his different-colored pupils probing, "Hey, speaking of it, Bai Yuan, the color of your eyes Really special."

"Why...?" Bai Yuan thought of the kitten, Wei Lin despised it as ugly, and because of the cat's owner's anger, he changed his words and called it "special".Could it be that these two "special" mean the same thing?

Bai Yuan suddenly felt cramped and nervous, as well as a deeper level of panic—it took him more than 20 years to get used to the surprise, curiosity, rejection, disgust, and other expressions and expressions that people showed when they looked at his eyes. In response, even his biological father was suspicious, and had to do DNA paternity tests in different institutions four times in succession before accepting the fact that it was a genetic mutation rather than being cuckolded.However, after all, a rift has arisen, and it is even more difficult to repair it. Whenever President Bai has a big fight with his unscrupulous son, he always takes out the paternity test certificates from the safe and reads them over and over several times before he can suppress them. Let go of your anger, and continue to be that good father who is lenient and strict.

However, even such a reluctantly harmonious situation did not last long. After a sudden accident, the Bai family was shocked to find that the child born to the ex-wife who died young was born with a dog that was not only strange in color, but also had a monster appearance. Eyes with supernatural powers.For the family's reputation, President Bai had no choice but to "exile" the child, sent him abroad for further studies, avoided appearing in public as much as possible, and trained the second son born to his second wife as the successor of the family business.Gradually, everyone forgot that there was such a marginalized child in the Bai family.Bai Yuan also stayed abroad for many years, and almost cut off contact with his family. He didn't return to China until three years ago. He simply bought a house by himself, and he didn't even return to his family.President Bai perfunctorily persuaded him twice, but if he couldn't persuade him, he just gave up and pretended that this son had never been born.

Over time, the water condenses into ice.Bai Yuan has become so hardened that he doesn't even care about his own father's attitude, so he doesn't care about other people's eyes.He knows that he has a good appearance, a high degree of education, a superior IQ, and sufficient financial means. Even if he doesn't get any favor from his father, he can still stay at the top of society.Choosing the career of a therapist is also because of more interests than needs. If you are a little more serious, you will become a leader in the industry.He is too good, but also too indifferent. He thinks that no matter what aspect, mediocre ordinary people can't compare, and he has a bad breath in his heart, so he has developed a sharp and arrogant arrogance that goes his own way.

In this world, some people dislike him, some fear him, some admire him, some dislike him, but so what, he doesn't care about anyone except himself.He believes that as long as he turns his heart into a steel fortress, all external emotions that fall on it, no matter good or bad, will be invalidated or even bounce back-and this is indeed the case.

However, at some point, this fortress quietly opened a gap when facing Wei Lin.

He can release some things from this gap, but correspondingly, he will also be touched, affected, and even attacked and hurt by some things infiltrated from the outside world.

For example, at this very moment, if Wei Lin showed the slightest uncomfortable and resentful expression...

——No, it's impossible, if he felt disgusted, it would have been revealed as early as the first meeting.

——But it’s hard to say. At that time, they were arguing tit for tat, and their faces were full of "Are you an idiot" and "Why are you such a difficult person?" clear.

——But hasn't Wei Lin always used this fierce way to secretly love him? The so-called beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the other party will gladly accept any part that belongs to him.

Bai Yuan regained his composure, and completely wiped away the unprecedented embarrassment and tension in his heart, and his self-confidence, strength and desire to control returned to his eyes.

"Why." He asked again in a determined tone, "You don't think it's weird and unacceptable, do you?"

"No." Wei Lin said nonchalantly, "I'm used to seeing it. If I wasn't worried about something happening to your eyes today, I wouldn't pay special attention to it."

Sure enough, he didn't mind at all, Bai Yuan thought with emotion and relief.

Wei Lin stretched his neck to look at the computer screen, and said dissatisfiedly: "Bai Xiansen! I have already fried the whole table, and you only wrote a few lines? With this kind of efficiency, when can I finish the whole report. It needs to be polished, otherwise Mike Liu finds out that it's not my language style, and he'll start rambling again."

Bai Yuan said lightly: "If you can't finish writing, just continue writing at night. Put the bowls and chopsticks in the dishwasher after dinner, and you can take all the things at home as you like, including books, movies, and VR games. There is a bar, and the guest room has been packed, welcome to stay overnight.”

"...Bai Xiansen, you are trying to take up all of my three days off!" Wei Lin couldn't help complaining, "Aren't you allowed to use my vacation time to date a girlfriend?"

Bai Yuan thought to himself: I don't even have a girlfriend, what are you talking about as a gay!nonsense.He said righteously: "Didn't you sleep upside down at home day and night during the holidays, eat three meals a day, and your body is ruined, why not accept my supervision."

Wei Lin set up all the cups, plates and chopsticks, and poured two glasses of red wine. He took off his apron and tapped Bai Yuan's laptop: "Move it away! The emperor is big after dinner, and we will discuss everything after dinner."

Bai Yuan put away the computer according to his words, and went to the washstand to wash his hands. He suddenly remembered something, so he walked around to the balcony, brought in a large bottle of blue irises in full bloom, and placed them on the decorative cabinet in the dining room.

Wei Lin was a little surprised: "Not only do you keep cats, but you also arrange flowers?" Why is this hobby similar to that of retired veteran cadres?

"Lan Iris, didn't you ask me to give it to you? The language of flowers is more suitable for the occasion." Bai Yuan was speechless at his words like floating clouds.Fortunately, I went to the flower shop for consultation yesterday. The flower seller told him that the flower language of Lan Iris is "appreciate the beauty of the other party, and secretly admire it." Bunch of blue irises.

After listening to Bai Yuan, he bought all the blue irises in the flower shop without saying a word-don't get me wrong, Mr. Bai is not here to confess to anyone, but to accept others' confession from the environment layout to the atmosphere creation psychological preparation.
