riddle

As soon as Father Han came home from get off work, he picked up a sleeping beauty leaning against the door at the door. This sleeping beauty looked quite like his son, and he didn't know how long he had been here with his eyes closed.

"Wake up!"

Father Han poked his cheek, aftertaste for a while, and found that it was not as soft as before. Sure enough, his son was still cute when he was young, and he became boring when he grew up.

When I grow up, I will only annoy people, and I won't be hugged, pinched or poked.

Han Nuoshang opened his eyes and saw Papa Han who was studying his face, as if wondering if he was his son! Han Nuoshang rubbed his eyes helplessly.

"Dad, are you back?"

Father Han took out his key, opened the door and walked in, bringing him a pair of slippers.

"Your mother went on a trip with her best friend two days ago, and she wasn't at home." Father Han paused, and asked, "How long have you been standing outside? I don't know how to call me."

Han Nuoshang smiled, didn't speak, his expression was a little disgusted, and he didn't know what he was struggling with?

Father Han found out that something was wrong with him, but he didn't ask him what happened, he just walked towards the kitchen silently.

In a short while, two bowls of steaming wontons came out of the pan!

Father Han brought the wontons to Han Nuoshang: "Try it, I haven't made it for a long time."

Han Nuoshang took the wonton and started to eat it. He hesitated until he had eaten half of the wonton in the bowl.

"Dad... I seem to like someone."

"If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. What does it mean to like it?" Father Han glanced at him. "I was so scared. Just now, I thought you were going to say that you had no money. You went home and asked me to borrow money to spend."

Han Nuoshang: "..."

What more can he say?

"Stop being funny, tell me, what's wrong with liking someone?"

"I..." Han Nuoshang hesitated for a moment, drank two mouthfuls of wonton soup, and looked up at Papa Han again.

His mother-in-law's actions caused Father Han to knock his chopsticks directly on his head.

"Say something quickly, what are you talking about?"

"The person I like...is a man."

Papa Han was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and picked up two wontons: "You just know what you are doing."

This time it was Han Nuoshang's turn to be stunned, staring at Papa Han with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Since what happened eight years ago, we've all seen your state!" Papa Han seemed to sense his gaze, and sighed, "I don't ask you to get married and have children or anything, as long as you I can live a good life, even if I am single all my life, I have nothing to say, it is a good thing to find someone you like, as long as you make a decision, we will naturally not object."

As a parent, Father Han naturally hopes that his son can live a good life. As for who Han Nuoshang wants to be with, whether it is a boy or a girl is really not that important.

A person's life is so long, Han Nuoshang already had one regret eight years ago, and Papa Han didn't want him to have a second regret in his life.

When Han Nuoshang heard this, a warm feeling came out of his heart, and he was about to say something.

"But you can like men, but you can't be a third party! I firmly disagree with this."

Han Nuoshang: "..."

The warmth that had just been brewing disappeared without a trace in an instant, Han Nuoshang gritted his teeth - really wanted to hit someone.

"Don't worry, he hasn't reached the legal marriage age yet!"

Gu Ci's birthday is more than December. To be precise, he is not yet 22 years old, so he is indeed under the legal age for marriage.

Father Han murmured in a low voice, "The guy who eats young grass..."

Han Nuoshang narrowed his eyes, with a dangerous look in his eyes: "Dad, what were you talking about just now?"

"I said that even if you're not married, you can't even have a girlfriend. This is considered a third party." Comrade Old Han responded quite quickly.

Han Nuoshang continued to grit his teeth: "Don't worry! He is still single so far."

Father Han waved his hand generously: "Then you should do it quickly, and take it home when you have time so that your mother and I can get to know each other."

Han Nuoshang: "..."

He really underestimated Papa Han's ability to bear it. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Until he walked out of the house, Han Nuoshang still felt it was unbelievable. After all, he knew a lot about gays coming out of the closet and parents forcing themselves to commit suicide.

Before going home today, I made a lot of mental preparations, thinking about the various reactions of Han's father and mother after coming out, and thinking about how he should deal with if his parents were angry and furious.

He even thought about what he should do when they might grab his gun and put it on his head to kill him, but he never thought that it would be such a scene.

All the previous ideas and scripts disappeared in an instant.

Han Nuoshang smiled, fortunately - they are his parents.

The cell phone rang suddenly, and Han Nuoshang jumped up in fright. He was almost overshadowed by the cell phone ring, and what happened a month ago was still vivid in his memory.

Han Nuoshang took out his phone and took a look, it was Lin Chenyi's call.

"Brother, I'm on vacation today!"

Lin Chenyi on the phone blinked and said, "I know, but if I don't tell you about this, I'll have to ask you to put me on leave. The deputy team -- he disappeared again."

Han Nuoshang opened his eyes suddenly, and his tone became cold: "What's going on?"

"Don't worry too much, the deputy team left by himself." Lin Chenyi paused, then said, "Well, I'll send you the hospital surveillance, you can see for yourself."

In the monitoring, Gu Ci who was lying on the hospital bed slowly opened his eyes. Han Nuoshang looked at the person in the monitoring, wondering whether he should be happy that he finally woke up.

Gu Ci sat up from the hospital bed and moved his stiff body. After he calmed down, he pulled out the needle in his hand and went to the dressing room to change back into his clothes.

Han Nuoshang squinted his eyes, whoever prepared clothes for Gu Ci was there, he wanted to kill that person.

After Gu Ci tidied himself up, he left the ward. The surveillance camera in the corridor captured his figure, but after leaving the hospital, he disappeared within the surveillance range, as if deliberately avoiding those surveillance cameras.

What exactly does Gu Ci want to do?Why run away by yourself?Where will he go now?

Han Nuoshang thought about many possible places for Gu Ci to go, and finally he drove to the old house of the Gu family. For some reason, he had a feeling that Gu Ci was here.

Parking the car aside, Han Nuoshang walked towards the gate of Gu's house.

Looking at the half-hidden door, Han Nuoshang breathed a sigh of relief, firstly because he guessed right, and secondly because he could enter without breaking the lock himself.

It was already night, and the lights in the villa were not turned on. It was pitch black. Han Nuoshang went in, turned on the chandelier in the hall, and the soft light dispelled the darkness at once.

Seeing so many rooms upstairs and downstairs, Han Nuoshang decisively chose to seek foreign aid.

He sent a message to Huang Zhe: Which room in the Gu family originally belonged to Gu Ci?

Two minutes later, Huang Zhe returned to him: the room at the far end on the right on the second floor.

Han Nuoshang put away his phone and walked towards the room Huang Zhe mentioned.

The door of this room is still ajar, Han Nuoshang can directly push the door and go in, but the environment inside is darker than the outside, and it is even more difficult to see things clearly, Han Nuoshang is almost suspicious--Gu Is the word really here?

But after he turned on the light in the room, he no longer doubted it.

Gu Ci was sitting cross-legged on the bed at this moment, staring blankly ahead, unaware of Han Nuoshang's intrusion.

"Are you ok?"

Han Nuoshang walked over, his left hand was oozing blood out of the corner of his eye, his pupils shrank sharply, and he turned around and left.

Gu Ci just turned his head, glanced at the back of him leaving, and then turned back to look ahead.

Five minutes later, Han Nuoshang found a medicine box from his car, and sat next to Gu Ci to bandage the wound on his hand. Fortunately, he had the habit of preparing a medicine box in the car.

Only now did he see clearly the scars on this man's hand, which were not knife wounds or gunshot wounds, but two rows of neat teeth marks, which he bit out by himself.

Han Nuoshang frowned tightly, and carefully bandaged his wound, not saying a word to Gu Ci the whole time, and the two of them just hung out with each other, neither of them started to break the silence first.

"Why do you treat your body like this, doesn't it hurt?" In the end, Han Nuoshang couldn't bear it, and spoke out first.

Gu Ci then turned his head to look at him, raised the wrist of his left hand between the two of them, and grabbed the original wound with his right hand.

Han Nuoshang opened his eyes suddenly, the pure white gauze oozes blood in an instant because of Gu Ci's excessive force.

"You're crazy, let go." Han Nuoshang grabbed his wrist, his eyes seemed to be burning.

Gu Ci originally wanted to use more force, but seeing Han Nuoshang's eyes that were about to burst into flames, he finally let go of his wrist.

"I don't feel pain, I don't feel ... I'm alive."

Han Nuoshang was suffocated, and opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

He picked up Gu Ci's wrist and treated his wound again, this time the gauze was thicker than before.

"Gu Ci, I think we should have a good talk." Han Nuoshang said while packing the medicine box.

Gu Ci turned his head again and looked ahead: "What do you want to talk about?"

Han Nuoshang also turned over and sat next to Gu Ci in the same posture, but asked a question he didn't expect.

"What are you looking at now?"

"remember!"

"What memory?"

"Memories of being in this home."

Han Nuoshang nodded knowingly, and turned his head to look at his profile.

"Why did you sneak away from the hospital?"

"I didn't sneak away, I ran openly!"

There was nothing wrong with saying this, but Han Nuoshang was blocked by him and had nothing to say.

There was another relatively speechless silence for a long time, Han Nuoshang hadn't figured out how to speak, but Gu Ci suddenly spoke first.

"What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you?"

"Why are you looking for me?"

Han Nuoshang grabbed his wrist, put it in front of his eyes, and pointed to the white gauze around it.

"See? Because of this."

Gu Ci himself stared at the gauze in his hand, and after a while, he sighed.

"You don't have to do this, I won't have an accident." Gu Ci still looked forward, not knowing whether he was talking to the people around him or to himself, "I am no longer the weak child I used to be, I have grown up ...This time, I won't hide anymore."

What Gu Ci said was very cryptic, but Han Nuoshang could still hear what he wanted to imply.

"You... remember everything?"

"Heh..." Gu Ci raised the corners of his mouth, and stared blankly at the front, "I was right before, I did nothing while watching them die in front of my own eyes, and I was the murderer's accomplice ..."

Gu Ci didn't continue talking, a warm palm covered his eyes, Han Nuoshang sat behind him at some point, and all his hot breath hit his neck.

"Don't look, it's not your fault. Don't laugh, it's okay to cry, but please stop laughing like that."

This smile was too bitter and depressing... Han Nuoshang didn't want to see him in such a disguise again.

After all, Gu Ci didn't continue talking, but he didn't fulfill Han Nuoshang's wish, he didn't cry, and still sat quietly in his original position.

"Uncle Huang... Did he tell you something?"

He could feel that Han Nuoshang was a little restless, he was a little too nervous, his whole body seemed tense, if he didn't know something, he shouldn't be like this.

"Yeah!" Han Nuoshang let go of his hand, and Gu Ci finally saw the light again, "He told me about your childhood, the injuries on your hands, the fence on the roof, and the ****."

"It's actually not that serious. The injury on my hand is real. I just want to know when I will feel the pain. My heart hurts so much that I can't feel it physically..."

That's why he hurt himself again and again, he just wanted to suppress the pain in his heart.

"As for the fence on the roof, I'm not trying to commit suicide, it's just that it's relatively empty, and I feel calmer when I stay there... As you know, I've stayed on the roof of the police station more than once. "

Han Nuoshang nodded, it was true, and no one would know when he would come down without anyone looking for it.

"What about the cockroach? Don't tell me you hide the cockroach under the bed just for fun!"

"Heh..." Gu Ci smiled, "Do you think Uncle Huang might find out if I want to hide things?"

Han Nuoshang was stunned for a moment, and found that what he said made sense, and he was actually persuaded.

"So... what on earth did you get that bomb for?"

"I was experimenting, trying to make a bomb. I was thinking that when I found the murderer, I would tie the bomb to him with my own hands, and it wasn't the kind that would kill people at one time. What I wanted was bit by bit. Blast him to pieces, let him taste the feeling that life is worse than death."

Han Nuoshang stretched out his hand and separated his fingers that were about to snap off his flesh.

"It's okay to think about it, but don't really do it." Check it out, and feel relieved when you see that his palm hasn't been pinched. "It's not worth putting yourself in for that kind of person."

"I know, that's why I let Uncle Huang know about it." Gu Ci gathered his five fingers together, opened them again, and repeated them several times, "I promised Dad that I would live a good life , Dad, he has never broken his promise to him, and I can't break my promise to him either."

After hearing his words, Han Nuoshang's heart, which had been tense all night, relaxed.

He took off the ring hanging around his neck, and Gu Ci's ring was worn by him all the time after that day, and he was too busy later, so he forgot about it, and only then remembered it.

The chain with Han Nuoshang's body temperature was hung around Gu Ci's neck, and Han Nuoshang tied it on him with his own hands.

"What were you thinking when you left the hospital?"

Gu Ci lowered his head slightly, Han Nuoshang couldn't see his expression, but could feel him struggling.

"I think those three children, if it weren't for me, maybe they would still be alive, if I could break free from the handcuffs earlier..."

"According to the forensic report, the three children were already very weak at that time, so even if Qi Zhao didn't do anything at that time, we couldn't save them. Don't blame yourself."

Gu Ci nodded, Han Nuoshang's words were not unreasonable, but the hurdle in his heart was not so easy to cross.

"Let me ask you one last question. On the day of the rescue operation for Pei Zhifeng's family, did you deliberately lure Qi Zhao?" Han Nuoshang thought for a while, and finally asked the question he wanted to know the most.

Gu Ci finally stopped looking forward, and turned his head to look at Han Nuoshang in surprise.

Han Nuoshang nodded, he knew he guessed right.

"Did you guess that Qi Zhao would look for you?"

Gu Ci nodded slightly.

"Then do you know that Qi Zhao will take you away?"

Han Nuoshang remembered that day, Gu Ci glanced at his watch subconsciously, he must have guessed that the watch was equipped with trackers and bugs.

As expected, Gu Ci still nodded.

"Then do you know that you will be hurt like that?"

Gu Ci opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly found that there was nothing to say, so he could only nod in the end.

"Heh..." Han Nuoshang sneered, reached out and pinched his chin, forcing him to look up at himself, "Gu Ci, you are really good, have you ever thought that you might die there? ah?"

Gu Ci knew that Han Nuoshang was on the verge of rage, but he didn't know how to calm him down.

"I'm sorry." Gu Ci lowered his eyes, this is all he can say now.

Han Nuoshang looked at his still calm face, and didn't know what could prevent him from maintaining his calmness, after all, he resigned to his fate and let go of the hand that was restraining him.

"Listen to me, I hope this is the last time you risk yourself, and next time, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Gu Ci nodded, he hadn't thought about what Han Nuoshang meant by being rude, but he subconsciously didn't want to make him angry.
