"Li Ke?" Xiao Xiao was confused, "He's looking for you?"

"Well," Bai Shen replied, "It's been a while."

"Then... what did he ask you?" Xiao Xiao was a little nervous.

"I just asked about this aspect, maybe I wanted to see what the impact would be." Bai Shen said.

"Actually, I was still a little sober that day, and I made up many of the questions Jacob asked," Xiao Xiao said, "But what he said to me later, I think it has been affecting me for so long. "

"What did he say?" Bai Shen asked.

"Probably to stay away from you," Xiao Xiao looked at him with a helpless voice, "I don't know what to do."

"You said there was influence," Bai Shen asked him, "what kind of influence?"

"You may feel that I have been a little suspicious of the people around me recently, and then I really started to repel them." Xiao Xiao said.

Bai Shen recalled it for a while, he didn't think about it carefully before, he always felt that Xiao Xiao seemed to be very busy recently, but he didn't expect that he was really avoiding them on purpose.

"Then why did you come to me?" Bai Shen asked.

"I know you have no problem, it's my problem." Xiao Xiao replied.

"Xiao Xiao, hypnosis will not force your consciousness without grounds, there must be some reason," Bai Shen looked at him, and asked seriously, "Think about it, have you deliberately avoided someone recently, which caused hypnosis to give you consciousness?" Getting stronger and stronger, and even spread to other people?"

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a while before saying, "Yes."

"Who is it, can you tell me?" Bai Shen asked.

Xiao Xiao didn't answer his question directly: "Can you help me forget about that, I don't want to do this anymore."

"Yes," Bai Shen said, "but I must first know the reason and prescribe the right medicine."

Xiao Xiao leaned on his seat and stared out the window blankly: "It's Li Ke."

Bai Shen frowned: "You don't like him?"

"No," Xiao Xiao found it difficult to speak, "I like him very much."

He turned his head to look at Bai Shen, his eyes were calm and unwavering, he didn't seem to be confiding, but he seemed to be asking for help.

......

After listening to Xiao Xiao's words quietly, Bai Shen felt very complicated.

He was silent, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he really wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Get out of the car." Xiao Xiao unlocked the car door, "Lu Xun has come out."

Bai Shen looked at him hesitantly, without moving.

"I won't play with you guys anymore," Xiao Xiao said, "I still have another task, so I'll contact you later."

Bai Shen had no choice but to answer, opened the car door and walked out.

Seeing Bai Shen approaching, Lu Xun stopped and stood there waiting for him to approach.When he got closer, Bai Shen saw his red eye sockets.The two walked side by side on the quiet and deserted road, strolling aimlessly.

"What did you say?" Bai Shen asked.

"Some trivial things," Lu Xun replied, "tell her how I spent these years, what I learned, what job I did, who I met..."

"Don't bear it," Bai Shen stopped and pressed his head on his shoulder, "Cry. You little brats love to cry."

"You are so mature, Uncle Bai," Lu Xun choked on him, then added, "I didn't cry."

"Well, it's a little more mature than you," Bai Shen said lightly, "You look like you haven't grown up yet."

Lu Xun's head was buried in the hollow of his shoulder, and his face rubbed against the soft fabric around his neckline.Bai Shen didn't speak any more, and patted his back lightly with the way of patting a child, feeling a lot of wetness on his shoulders.

After a long time, Lu Xun pulled off his hand and stood up, then walked forward slowly: "It's itchy to touch, where did you learn this?"

"This is the way to touch a dog," Bai Shen said, "Smooth the hair."

Lu Xun turned around and stumbled over him, Bai Shen didn't notice that he leaned forward all of a sudden.Lu Xun's eyes were sharp and his hands quickly caught him, and Bai Shen's palm almost gave him a big slap in the face.

When both of them stood still, Lu Xun said, "You almost slapped me just now."

Bai Shen looked at him angrily: "You can't live without committing crimes."

"Huh?" Lu Xun didn't understand, he didn't understand.

Bai Shen felt that he was naive. Although many adults have a naive side, after all, not every man in his twenties would play tricks endlessly over and over again.

But he liked the way Lu Xun looked like a child the most. At these times, he would temporarily forget about attacking and defending, and put aside his gloomy emotions for a while, and return to the childlike appearance he had always lacked.

Many things can be infected, and it's the same reason as those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Lu Xun's pure appearance can only be seen by pure people.

"When I came that day, I saw a small western-style building, which was very beautiful." Bai Shen said.

"Well," Lu Xun felt that he was talking nonsense that didn't go to the village or shop, "what's the matter?"

"I want to take you to see it." Bai Shen said.

Lu Xun tutted and looked at him twice: "I thought you were going to give it to me."

"Forget it, I can't even afford breakfast." Bai Shen joked.

In fact, when Bai Shen said that he would take him to see the small building, Lu Xun had probably guessed it.When they approached step by step and finally stopped in front of the door, he suddenly felt a little sour.

This is the house he has lived in for 15 years, and it is still the same as it was back then, similar to what he remembered.The two eucalyptus trees in front of the door have grown stronger and more prosperous, but the door is still as quiet and gentle as before.

"I applied for this family's sofa guest tonight," Bai Shen took out the key from his pocket and shook it in front of his eyes, "Let's go."

Bai Shen opened the door, and Lu Xun walked in feeling unbelievable.It's still the same layout, but there are obviously many changes.

"The owner of the house went out to the concert and came back at night," Bai Shen said, "Would you like to show me around?"

Lu Xun looked at him and smiled.Because he didn't wear a hat when he came out today, Bai Shen could clearly see every tiny expression of him.

"Are you going to cry again?" Bai Shen smiled.

"What do you mean again?" Lu Xun retorted, "I didn't cry."

Bai Shen didn't speak, waiting for him to answer himself.Lu Xun looked around for a week before saying, "This is no longer my home."

"At least it used to be, you can't deny your past," Bai Shen smiled softly and pinched his neck, "This is no longer here, but you have found a new home."

Lu Xun looked at him suspiciously.

"Look, if Auntie's sentence can be commuted, she will be released from prison in more than a year. Where do you plan to live by then?" Bai Shen asked.

"I haven't thought about it," Lu Xun said, "but I like quiet small towns and villages, and it's best to be close to mountains and rivers."

Bai smiled deeply: "You can go home anytime you want. You have to remember that you are not homeless, and someone will be waiting for you and looking forward to you."

"You?" Lu Xun asked.

Bai Shen nodded: "Otherwise?"

He no longer wanted to hear the words "want to go home" and "flowers on the other side" from Lu Xun's mouth. Ordinary people living in a corner.

What he wanted most for Lu Xun was a life full of satisfaction and happiness, without anxiety and pain, without irritability and grievance, without panic and fear.Even if it was as plain as water, it was what he expected Lu Xun to get.

Lu Xun stretched out his hand to give him a hug. In someone else's house, even though there was no one there, he was a little bit scrupulous. He quickly let go of his hand and tapped the log dining table with his fingertips: "It's been more than 20 years, only it hasn't changed."

"It's pretty." Bai Shen said.

"Where are you going to sleep tonight? Don't you really sleep on the sofa?" Lu Xun asked.

Bai Shen pointed to the upstairs room: "There."

Lu Xun turned to look at him: "On purpose?"

"Ah?" Bai Shen didn't understand why.

Lu Xun smiled and walked upstairs, it should be a coincidence: "That was my former room."

Bai Shen really didn't think about it, nor did he deliberately ask for a room that he used to have.He followed and walked in with Lu Xun.

"They have remodeled it." Lu Xun looked around, "It has been changed into a study."

There is a sofa bed next to the bookshelf against the wall in the study room. Because there are guests, the owner has already made the bed neatly.

"Is this you?" Bai Shen picked up a small photo frame on the desk, "There are a lot of romantic debts."

The photo is a group photo of a boy and a little girl. The boy has blond hair and blue eyes, looks very calm, just like Lu Xun.

"Do you know this family?" Bai Shen asked.

"It's my mother's friend, but I don't know them, and they certainly don't remember me." Lu Xun said.

"It doesn't seem like you don't remember?" Bai Shen clicked his tongue twice, "If there was only one photo frame on your table, would you put a photo with someone you don't remember, young master?"

Lu Xun glanced at him: "Sour."

Bai Shen didn't bother to talk to him: "Let's eat sometime, I'm starving to death."

"Then you die first," Lu Xun lay on the bed, "I need to sleep for a while."

"Did you not sleep well last night?" Bai Shen sat next to his head and scratched his hair.

"Yeah." Lu Xun closed his eyes and responded, it seemed that he was really sleepy.

Bai Shen had no choice but to go out by himself to eat and pick up the luggage from the hotel.He walked through the long small street at the door, imagining the scene when Lu Xun walked this road over and over again, maybe he just got out of school with his schoolbag on his back and kicked a ball, maybe he was riding a mountain bike, maybe Come back laughing and making noise with which friend, maybe just escaped from the bad guys with scars all over.

He walked alone, thinking about some messy things in his mind, and finally thought of what Xiao Xiao said to him in the morning.

Xiao Xiao is already very frank. He always acts carefree and unruly at any time. He never thought that there would be troublesome things, but he is still an infatuated person who can't love him.

He seemed to have been mentally prepared for the matter between Li Ke and Xiao Xiao. When Xiao Xiao said it, he was not particularly surprised, but was curious why Xiao Xiao was so concerned about gains and losses, and why Li Ke was so silent and calm.

Not everyone views feelings in the same light. In Bai Shen's eyes, love is love. If some additional factors are involved, is it still love?

He didn't expect that sometimes saying "don't love" is also love, and he himself may sometimes let go and push the person he loves away.
