Meng Yuan looked at his hands that were still pressing on Qi Fengyao's wrists, and for a moment didn't know whether to take them away or keep them on.

It took a long time before Meng Yuan came back to his senses, patted Qi Fengyao's arm comfortingly, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

What can I say?In this case, no matter how much you say, it won't help.I can't comfort Qi Fengyao, and I can't make myself feel more at ease.

"Next stop, Nangang, passengers who need to get off the train, please prepare in advance." A mechanical female voice sounded emotionlessly from the radio in the car.

Qi Fengyao, who was speechless all the way, put his backpack on his back, and then patted Meng Yuan, who was also speechless all the way beside him, "Let's go, get ready to get off."

Meng Yuan, who didn't know what he was thinking, was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at Qi Fengyao, "Mm, okay."

When we walked into Nangang, the sky was completely dark.Qi Fengyao took the seat card that was exchanged outside, and led Meng Yuan to search for the seats in the open-air cinema.

"Here." Qi Fengyao stopped and stood in front of the two seats.

The content of the water curtain movie is random, and no one knows what movie is playing today.After the two sat silently in the dark for more than ten minutes, the fountain began to erupt in the auditorium—the movie began.

The lights illuminated the fountain brightly, and then the movie to be played today appeared on the fountain - "The Great Gatsby"

Inexplicably, Meng Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his seat.

After more than two hours, the lights gradually dimmed, and the audience who started to leave in twos and threes in the auditorium announced that tonight's film screening was over.

However, Qi Fengyao didn't intend to leave while sitting in his seat, and his son Meng Yuan didn't get up either.

In this way, the two remained silent for a long time in the dark.

"You said, did Daisy really love Gatsby?" Without warning, Qi Fengyao's voice sounded in the dark night.

"I think, I loved it." Meng Yuan replied, "It's just that I didn't love it later."

"I don't love you anymore, why do you want to go back to him?" Qi Fengyao slowly lowered his head and buried his face between his hands.

"Because... she probably enjoys this kind of one-night passion."

"Since you enjoyed it, why did you hesitate when you left?" Qi Fengyao's voice was muffled, and he couldn't tell whether his emotions were good or bad.

"...Because what Gatsby wants is the whole life, but what she wants is to be drunk today." Meng Yuan thought for a while, and said the answer in his heart.

"Meng Yuan, do you know? Sometimes I feel that I am like Gatsby in the movie, extremely selfish, extremely possessive... In fact, sometimes persistence is a kind of resistance to dissatisfaction with reality, but excessive Persistence becomes obsession... You see, even though Gatsby heard the phone ringing before he died, he knew in his heart that the phone call would never be the call from Daisy he had been waiting for for a long time. In fact, Gatsby’s tragedy is that he has always understood that Daisy doesn’t love him, he knows, but he just doesn’t want to admit it...just like me..."

Meng Yuan turned his head and looked at Qi Fengyao, who was only a silhouette in the darkness, and slowly put his hands on his back, "Although I don't know why you said that suddenly, I know very well that you are different from him …Listen to me Fengyao, even if it’s not good enough or bright enough now. But you are still a shining star, and you are still loved by this universe. If you don’t give up, you can still move forward, to a better place, Don't lie to yourself, and don't worry."

What answered him was endless silence, and after a while, the staff began to clear the venue, and Qi Fengyao raised his head.

He put his backpack on his back, and smiled embarrassedly at Meng Yuan, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure just now..."

"It's okay." Meng Yuan also stood up, patted Qi Fengyao's shoulder, "Let's go back."

After returning home, the two of them didn't communicate much. After a simple wash, they went back to the bedroom to rest with their own concerns.

At this time, Yun Zaiye had just left the Magic Garden—the Magic Garden.

The magic garden can be called a grotesque fairy tale world. The builder Zagar used unusual glass wine bottles, mirror fragments, and discarded bicycle tires to splicing all the walls, aisles, corridors, hanging ladders, door frames and outdoor rockery. , Dongfu.

Walking inside, it seems that you are really in the fairyland that Alice arrived in when she was sleepwalking.

"In the field, look." Ren Zhiyuan handed over his mobile phone.

Yun Zaiye hesitated for a moment, but still took the phone. It was a photo, and the protagonist in the photo was himself——the background was a familiar magic garden, and the sunlight was refracted and diverged in countless directions through different planes, creating a A strange world.In the lower left corner of the picture, is himself stretching out a finger to explore the edges of those fragments.

"The composition is very good, thank you." Yun Zaiye smiled politely, and returned the phone.

"Do you like it?" Meng Yuan took the phone and asked with some expectation.

"Fortunately, I don't have any aesthetic standards in this area." Yun Zaiye said, walking outside.

Then went to Longwood Park and the University of Pennsylvania, and the two returned to the previous hotel after the end.

"Jaiye, would you like something to eat?" Ren Zhiyuan asked when he walked to the door of the hotel, pointing to the shop next to him.

"Thank you, no need, I'm not very hungry." Yun Zaiye replied politely.

"But I'm a little hungry. I'm not a good person. My stomach hurts when I'm hungry." Ren Zhiyuan stood at the door without changing his footsteps.

"Then why don't you have something to eat here, I'm a little tired, so I'll go back and rest first." Yun Zaye nodded slightly in apology, and then walked into the hotel without hesitation.

When Yun Zaiye came out of the bathroom and was about to use the hair dryer to dry his hair, Ren Zhiyuan just pushed open the door.

Yun Zaiye looked up, "Why are you so slow? Have you been drinking?"

Ren Zhiyuan staggered a little, his eyes were a little red, and he looked not sober, probably because he just drank wine while eating supper.

Without waiting for an answer, Yun Zaiye didn't ask again, but picked up the hair dryer in the drawer and walked to the bathroom.

Suddenly, Yun Zaiye felt movement behind him.Before he could turn his head, he was hugged from behind and hit the wall.

"Yun Zaiye, don't take yourself too seriously..." Ren Zhiyuan put his restless hands into Yun Zaiye's nightgown while saying insulting words.

"I fell in love with you on the first day when I came here, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine..." Ren Zhiyuan was slightly stronger than Yun Zaiye, and the hand that held Yun Zaiye's hands after drinking was strong It was astonishingly big, "I advise you not to resist, I tell you that my dad is an American citizen, and I also have a green card...you can't get mine..." While speaking, the other hand has already untied the belt of the nightgown.

"Ren Zhiyuan! Let go! Be sober!" Yun Zaiye shouted loudly while struggling to get his hands out.

During the struggle of the two of them, Yun Zaye's nightgown slipped down to his wrists.The sudden change obviously irritated the delirious Ren Zhiyuan even more.

He did not know where to find a piece of rope, and neatly tied Yun Zaiye's hands behind his back.Then he pulled Yun Zaiye from the bathroom all the way to the bed, turned around and took the wine he put on the shoe rack when he entered the door, and poured it into Yun Zaiye's mouth, the scattered wine flowed down Yun Zaiye's jaw to his neck, and then slipped to the chest.

While struggling, Yun Zaiye looked around, obviously trying to find some weapon or other method to prevent this matter from getting worse.

Why are you so dizzy?Is the ceiling turning?

It's so hot... what's wrong?

The abnormal reaction in his body made Yun Zaiye realize that someone had drugged the bottle of wine he had just been forcefully poured down just before he fell into a coma.

In a daze, Yun Zaiye felt someone licking his cheek, followed by his neck, and then slid down to his chest...

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.I don’t know when the rope that tied me yesterday was untied and it was thrown by the bed. My nightgown was torn and thrown on the floor. My body was covered with ambiguous red marks... But the most important part, it seems Nothing out of the ordinary.

Ren Zhiyuan hadn't woken up yet, lying unconscious beside the bed.

Yun Zaiye called the police, and then called his cousin who worked at Washington NC United Lawyers. After briefly explaining the ins and outs, the cousin said that he was fully responsible for this matter and asked Yun Zaiye to rest. Fortunately, the business over there came to visit Yun Zaiye.

After hanging up the phone, Yun Zaiye picked up the piece of rope beside the bed, tied Ren Zhiyuan to the corner of the bed, and waited for the police and lawyers to arrive.

No loss, it is the most authoritative law firm in the United States, and its efficiency is also outstanding.About 10 minutes later, there was a knock on the door of the room.

After the police came in, they arrested Ren Zhiyuan who was in a daze, and the accompanying lawyer had obviously received the order from Uncle Yun Zaye, and after a detailed understanding of the situation, he left with the police.

A large number of people rushed in and then left in a mighty way. After experiencing the extreme noise, the small room returned to calm again.

Yun Zaiye, who had always been calm, only began to show signs of emotional breakdown here.Suppressing the last sliver of reason, Yun Zaiye sent a text message to his cousin, repeatedly begging him not to tell his parents about this matter.

After showing that the sending was successful, Yun Zaye threw the phone heavily on the bed, then got up and walked to the bathroom.

With a sound of "wow", the warm water jets hit Yun Zaye's body, and he rubbed all the exposed parts of his body like crazy until his skin started to turn red, and some blood spots even appeared faintly. Never stopped.

It's too dirty, it can't be cleaned, it's really too dirty...

Yun Zaiye has always been very clear that his obsession with cleanliness does not only exist in the state of life, but also in his feelings.But... Now that he has... How can he face that person in his future life?
