red and white roses together

Chapter 17 The Seventh Rose

How can you be sure that no one wants to accompany him in purgatory?

In the dark room and the silent air, Sheng Huai's words kept ringing in Ji Congxiao's ears.However... Jiang Zhipei might be willing to stay with him in Purgatory, but what about Ji Congxiao?

He raised his hand to cover his eyes, a sneer twitched from the corner of his mouth.

Don't be delusional.impossible.

Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and wanted to turn on the bedside lamp. The room was too dark, there was no sound at all, and it was empty, as if he was the only one left in the whole world.

My fingers fumbled to the place where the night light was originally placed, but the switch, which was originally in a very obvious position, could not be found for a long time now. After searching and searching, there was only a blank wall.It was as if the night light had never appeared.

Finger snapped.

Ji Congxiao shook his head and chuckled.You obviously haven't slept, why is your mind so confused?

This is not his apartment on the 22nd floor, but Sheng Huai's small villa.

It was too late to read the script, and when the consciousness time was not early, it had already passed zero.Sheng Huai could not prevent him from running around late at night, so he simply stayed him overnight.He also deliberately left the master bedroom empty for him, and went to the study to make up for it.

The tip of the nose is lingering with a light and light taste, the light grass and woods gradually spread out, gradually turning into a little bit of cold cedar, and then, it is a tolerant and calm sea outlined with finely divided sea salt, which is commonly used by Shenghuai Perfume is not a product of any well-known brand, and I don't know where Sheng Huai got it. I especially love it. For a long time, I haven't seen him change to other scents.

Ji Congxiao was distracted for a moment, fumbled to turn on the wall lamp, stared blankly at the quiet and elegant cello by the wall, then gathered up Sheng Huai's pajamas, which were a bit too big, opened the door and went out.

"Huh? Haven't slept yet? Do you want to drink water?"

The voice came from the living room.Ji Congxiao lowered his head, and saw Sheng Huai sitting on the sofa, watching the TV screen.The lights in the room were not turned on, and the light from the screen was reflected on his face, and there was a reflection on his lenses, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.

"No, accept the bed." Ji Congxiao made an excuse casually, went downstairs and sat down beside him, "Brother Sheng is still awake so late?"

"Can't sleep." Sheng Huai bent his lips and raised his jaw towards the opposite side. "It's been a long time since I acted. I'm a little nervous. Watch the movie to find out."

Following his movements, Ji Congxiao glanced sideways, and saw that the face of the person next to him happened to be a close-up on the screen.

Ji Congxiao: "... Watching your own movies to get a feeling?"

Sheng Huai nodded: "Comments from the outside world, this drama is my pinnacle work. If you want to find a feeling, or surpass your previous self, you must watch it."

Ji Congxiao was noncommittal, and turned to look at the screen.

The young police officer stepped on a chair with a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes flashed sharply across the clues on the blackboard in front of him, and his brows were furrowed.

""Peacock Blue"." With just one glance, Ji Congxiao recognized which movie it was.

Sheng Huai was a little surprised at his speed: "Have you seen it?"

Ji Congxiao nodded, but did not answer.Has he seen this movie?After watching it in the theater by chance, he couldn't control it twice, often in the room late at night, he couldn't sleep, and there was no one to chat, just like Sheng Huai now, turning off the lights, repeating the same thing over and over again Repeat this movie.

"Peacock Blue" is a suspense film.The plot is complicated and confusing, with ups and downs, closely linked, and even the final ending is unexpected.

But what attracted Ji Congxiao was not the plot, but a setting of the protagonist.

The protagonist, He Chun, is a policeman who unintentionally and indirectly involved in a serial murder case, but the criminals are sophisticated and leave almost no clues at the scene of the murder. He seems to know what angle the police officers will think from, and from what direction The investigation is mediocre, and I can always avoid it simply and neatly.Even the traps that He Chun dug in advance can be easily avoided.

All the clues from the outside world have been interrupted, and the inside ghost has also been investigated, but nothing is found.It wasn't until later that He Chun discovered some strange things about himself. After careful exploration, he was finally diagnosed with schizophrenia with the help of a psychiatrist.He also has another second personality that is unknown to everyone.

In this way, all the mysteries are easily solved.The other self, the other pair of eyes that stared at him all the time, how could he not know their deployment, how could he not avoid their traps.

However, against his allegations, his second personality He Zhu did not admit a single word.

Not only did he deny it, but he also mocked He Chun.And he no longer deliberately concealed his existence, occupying the initiative of his body every now and then.Not only intervening in He Chun's daily life, but also putting forward his own views on his clues to his case.

It can be said to be everywhere.

This made He Chun distressed for a while.But this is Ji Congxiao's favorite place to watch.

In the movie, it happened that He Chun had an accident and got trapped by accident.But the murder still happened, so He Zhuo's innocence was proved.

In the messy house, the usually snarky policeman sat at the table, showing a polite smile to the eye-catching post-it notes on the table,

[Sorry, I wronged you before.Now that the charges are cleared, you... want to leave? 】

He Zhuo tapped the pen, then raised his hand to add a sentence under the line on the sticky note.

【I am your sub-personality, not the soul behind you.Don't worry, I will always exist.We are inseparable. 】

"He Zhen is really lucky." Ji Congxiao said with emotion.

"Why do you say that?" Sheng Huai raised his eyebrows.

"As He Zhuo said, no matter what, he will always be by He Chun's side. The two of them are a whole, inseparable. He Chun will never be alone, isn't that good?"

After saying this, Ji Congxiao clearly felt the complicated look in Sheng Huai's eyes.However, at that very moment, the picture changed and transitioned to black, and the whole room was plunged into darkness. Before he had time to distinguish the complex components in the eyes, he only heard the calm voice as usual coming from the darkness.

"Don't envy such company. Reality is often scarier than literary creation."

The screen turned brighter, and Ji Congxiao turned his head to meet Sheng Huai's gaze.Complexity faded, still mild as water.

"And, He Chuan was still alone in the end."

"What do you mean?!" Ji Congxiao was taken aback suddenly, so shocked by this sentence that he didn't even think about the deep meaning of Sheng Huai's previous sentence.

Sheng Huai took the remote control and pulled the movie to the end.

He Chun's father was arrested and imprisoned, He Chun woke up in the hospital after being injured, and the attending doctor talked to him by the bedside.

This section is cut from a distant scene, and music is added in the later stage, directly leading to the end of the film, without the sound of conversation.Then the scene changed, and He Chun walked out of the hospital with his bag, but stopped on the sidewalk, covered his face with his hands, and wept bitterly.

Ji Congxiao turned to look at Sheng Huai, waiting for his explanation.

The latter pursed the corners of his lips during the ending song, looked at him for a long time, and then sighed softly.

"He Chun has long guessed that his father committed the crime."

"And what the doctor told him was—"

"Congratulations, the personality fusion was successful."

The ending of the movie leaves suspense.Why is He Chun crying?People who watch movies have their own ideas.For his father's crimes, for his own justice, for justice, for justice, and so on...

But only Sheng Huai knew the sentence that was hidden by the screenwriter.

This is not a technique, nor is the screenwriter's soft-heartedness, but——

【Your existence is only related to me.Your disappearance only needs to be borne by me alone. 】

Sheng Huai has always kept this plot in his heart, and no one has ever asked him about it.Every time I think about it, I just feel extremely heavy and overwhelmed.It wasn't until today that Ji Congxiao's frightening thoughts were awakened, and then he confessed the whole thing, and Fang felt a little lighthearted.

But seeing his astonished expression in the flickering light and shadow, while he was relieved, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

"You will eventually find someone who will be with you forever. You don't have one now, it's just because you haven't met yet."

He comforted with a gentle voice.

"En." Ji Congxiao responded in a low voice without further words.According to the past, he should have brought up this topic jokingly.However, right now, I don't know if Sheng Huai is too reliable, or this night has added a layer of protection to him. I don't want to force a smile, I don't want to deceive myself, let Sheng Huai find out his gloomy thoughts, and don't care about Sheng Huai. How to react, all ignore it.

"Peacock Blue" is his favorite movie, both assistants and fans know it.But no one knows that he loves this movie, they just envy He Chun and the inseparable relationship between He Chun and He Zhuo.He even vaguely hoped that he could have such a partner.But maybe he is not miserable enough in reality, or maybe he is too rational and knows the danger, so it is still just an admiration and sustenance.

But that is indeed the retreat he left for himself, the only hope that can be seen in the darkness.

However, tonight, Sheng Huai shattered his dream and extinguished the last ray of light.There is no way out anymore, Ji Congxiao is doomed to suffer forever in purgatory alone.

……

Another movie was changed, but Sheng Huai didn't have the mood to watch more.Although his eyes were fixed on the screen, he kept looking at the people around him from the corner of his eyes.Ever since he told the truth about the situation, the kid's complexion has not been very good. Originally, he just wanted to take preventive measures and give Ji Congxiao an inoculation in advance to prevent him from having any wrong thoughts.However, it turns out that his words are not a vaccination, but a scalpel to cut off the cancer.He didn't know why Ji Congxiao had such an idea, but as someone who had experienced it, he had to curb this dangerous idea in time.

The people around him lowered their eyes, their eyes were empty, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Gradually, the eyelids drooped, and the head leaned against the knees.

After a while, the peach blossom eyes were completely closed, and the whole person fell to the side.

Sheng Huai stretched out his hand and took him into his arms.After touching his hair, he let out a low sigh and carefully carried him back to the room.

The author has something to say:

What is Ji Congxiao most lacking and longing for?An existence that belongs to him, can accompany him all the time, and will never leave.Sigh, there is no way, Ji Chongchong, you can only wait for your brother Sheng to slowly open up.In fact, Sheng Huai had been vaguely aware of it before, on the night when he came out on the 39th, do you still remember?The little one doesn't seem to want to be alone.
