Highly toxic

As soon as Geng Yan raised his head, he saw Jiang Mu staring at him again, his eyes seemed to be going through a scuffle, and his eyes were full of entanglement.

Jiang Mu's attention at this moment seems to have completely shifted from his two pets to his Geng Yan. This makes Geng Yan can't help but think of Jiang Mu's first sight after he came back until now. various abnormalities.

It was obvious that he had something on his mind, and it must have something to do with him, Geng Yan.

After dinner, it was raining outside, thunder was faintly heard from the sky, and the rain tended to intensify.

Geng Yan asked Jiang Mu to stay with him tonight, but Jiang Mu insisted on going back.

Unexpectedly, the relationship that had finally eased became stiff again, so Geng Yan didn't insist on staying, and drove Jiang Mu back in person.

Jiang Mu sat on the back seat with dumplings in his arms, and the birdcage where the briquettes were located was placed aside. He looked out of the car window with complicated eyes, and his memory began to play back slowly with the night scene that flashed out of the window.

When his parents passed away, he was sent to an orphanage. He stayed in the orphanage for four or five years. After losing his parents, his temperament became weak and withdrawn, and his figure was thinner than children of the same age. So in that kind of place He was bullied until he was 11 years old when a wealthy businessman came to the orphanage to take him away.

At that time, he thought he finally had a home again, but he didn't want that new home, which was the real hell.

The rich businessman had four or five adopted young sons, who he would dress up as little girls and call them to his room at night.

Disobedient, just a burst of beating.

Because on the first night, he bit the rich businessman, and then the rich businessman instructed other children to beat them one by one with a whip.

He wanted to run, but he was beaten for a while, and when he refused, he was beaten again.

Later, he resigned himself to his fate and didn't dare to run or make trouble. It was only because he was beaten so badly that he took half a year to recover. Then it was that night when he was put on a small skirt and put on make-up. The hair of the past year was finally enough to tie into two ponytails, and then he walked into the rich businessman's bedroom like other children in the past.

Just when he thought he could no longer escape from this hell, that person appeared.

Jiang Mu still remembers the vicious look of that young man holding a knife, but he doesn't feel scary at all. The tall figure seemed to be burned into his eyeballs, and it became a unique, great and respected existence in his sight.

He remembered the way that person ran out holding his hand, he remembered the temperature of that person's palm, and the blood that flowed from that person that night.

Standing in the boundless black hell, that was the only light and edge he saw, so at that time, he just wanted to follow him desperately.

Although he is fierce, although he seems to hate himself...

But in Jiang Fei's 12-year-old heart, this young man who can eliminate evil spirits is more reliable than the gods and Buddhas he prayed to countless times at night.

Although he disappeared later and never appeared in his life again, the memory of that night and that face remained in the depths of his Jiang Mu's memory, which made him always like that face in the future. people, have an inexplicable affection...

Geng Yan glanced over the rearview mirror inside the car, and saw Jiang Mu looking at him through the rearview mirror again, with mixed feelings in his eyes, and when he looked carefully, Geng Yan suddenly found that Jiang Mu's eyes were red, and tears glistened at the corners of his eyes .

Meeting Geng Yan's eyes in the mirror, Jiang Mu silently turned his head and continued to look out the car window.

Geng Yan parked the car on the side of the road, then turned to look at Jiang Mu.

"What's wrong with you?" Geng Yan was still at a loss. He felt that Jiang Mu had found these two little pets. It stands to reason that he should be in a happy mood all the way. It's confusing.

Geng Yan frowned and pondered for two seconds, "Could it be because of those two photos?"

Tracing back to the source, Jiang Mu didn't become abnormal after seeing his two photos of the sixteenth and seventeenth.

Geng Yan stroked his chin thoughtfully, "I was about sixteen or seventeen years old in the photo, and you should be eleven or twelve years old at that time, um..."

Geng Yan thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember any deep relationship with any little boy around the age of sixteen or seventeen. At that time, all the boys he dealt with were older than his grade, but if he saw a child wandering on the side of the road , he will indeed give some money casually.

Could it be that Jiang Mu was one of the homeless children he gave to before?

Jiang Mu sniffed, and said calmly, "Nothing?"

Suddenly there was a flash of lightning outside the car window, and the inside of the car was like daytime in an instant. Jiang Mu's body trembled subconsciously, and he couldn't help but hugged the dumplings in his arms tightly.

Geng Yan turned on the lights in the back seat of the car.

"It's better this way." Geng Yan said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, my husband is here."

Jiang Mu wanted to stare at Geng Yan, but when he raised his head, another lightning flash reflected on Geng Yan's face.

The light in the carriage is just like the light in the bedroom that night many years ago, and the light and shadow left on that face at this moment seem to be exactly the same.

It was also such a night of lightning, thunder, and heavy rain.

He thought he was going to hell, but in the end he was rescued back to the world by the person who appeared unexpectedly.

Geng Yan saw with his own eyes the anger in Jiang Mu's eyes, from the moment he raised his eyes to look at him, it disintegrated into fine and soft spots of light little by little.

"Geng Yan, take me back." Jiang Mu said weakly, "It's already very late."

Although Jiang Mu didn't have much expression on his face at this moment, Geng Yan felt much gentler than before.

It's not the tenderness shown by obedience and condescension, but the fierceness towards him from the heart...

Accustomed to Jiang Mu's disgusting eyes and attitude, Geng Yan was a little flattered at the moment. He subconsciously scratched the back of his head, nodded seriously, "Oh... well, I'll send you back now."

After sending Jiang Mu downstairs to the apartment, Jiang Mu got out of the car with the dumplings in one arm and the birdcage in the other, and limped to the eaves of the building.

Geng Yan got out of the car and chased Jiang Mu into the building, took the dumpling from him, pressed the dumpling's body on his chest with one hand, and held Jiang Mu's arm with the other arm, and said, "Put your weight on me , so that going upstairs won’t be a hassle.”

Jiang Mu stared at Geng Yan for two seconds, and finally hesitatingly inserted his right hand into Geng Yan's left arm.

He let go of Jiang Mu's hand, squatted down in front of Jiang Mu, patted his back with one hand, and said with a smile, "Come on, it's more convenient to go upstairs this way." .”

"It's not like I've lost my legs." Jiang Mu said angrily, "You don't need to be like this."

Unwilling to give up, Geng Yan moved his body back to approach Jiang Mu's leg, and said courteously like a cowherd inviting guests, "Come on, come on."

"..."

Geng Yan just squatted and blocked the stairs, waiting for Jiang Mu to get on his sedan chair, but he didn't make any strong demands. He just put on a shy smile and invited Jiang Mu with half-begging and half-begging.

At this moment, there was a thunderstorm outside, and the lightning that flashed into the corridor hit Geng Yan's back, and for a while, the portrait of the memory deep in Jiang Mu's heart was superimposed on the back of the man in front of him.

In the end, Jiang Mu didn't know how he got on Geng Yan's back.

Halfway up the stairs, Jiang Mu suddenly realized that Geng Yan was supporting himself with both hands, and the dumplings that were originally in his arms were gone.

"Where are the dumplings?" Jiang Mu asked in panic, "Didn't you hold the dumplings in your arms just now?"

"How can I carry you while holding that guy?"

Jiang Mu was in a hurry, and wrapped one hand around Geng Yan's neck, grabbing his collar hard, "You are too much, go back and find dumplings, it will run out again and I will never stop with you."

Geng Yan coughed because of being strangled by the collar, and said hastily, "I put it on the ground, it will follow us up."

Jiang Mu patted Geng Yan's shoulder, "Quickly, see if there is one behind you!"

Geng Yan turned around slowly with Jiang Mu on his back, and went down a few steps behind. Dumpling, who was humming and jumping up, raised his chin, "Look, don't you want to follow?"

Dumpling was exhausted. She jumped up a step and took a break for three or four seconds. She sneezed and then continued to jump up. At this moment, she saw her father stop, jumping up excitedly. She was eager to hug her. Reflected in those round eyes.

Geng Yan turned around with Jiang Mu behind his back and continued to go upstairs.

"Let me just say, there is thunder and rain outside, it will only follow us." Geng Yan said.

Seeing that he arrived at the door of his apartment within a few steps, Jiang Mu didn't insist on asking for anything. When Geng Yan put him down at his door, Jiang Mu hurriedly squatted down and called for the dumplings who were still bouncing on the next flight of stairs.

Jiaozi was very happy that her father finally remembered her, but she was so bored that she jumped up and down. Seeing that Jiang Mu was calling her, she didn't want to move anymore. She immediately squatted on the spot and pretended to be dead, as if she wanted Jiang Mu to hug her.

Before Jiang Mu could open his mouth again, Geng Yan strode down from beside him. After a few steps, he came to the side of Jiaozi. He stretched out his hand to pick up the ears of Jiaozi and lifted it up. He pointed at the tip of its nose and said, "Just You're getting angry, why, you have to ask someone to come down and hug you."

Jiaozi kicked her legs wildly, and mercilessly gave Geng Yan a bite of the finger. Geng Yan sent the dumpling away in pain. The dumpling, which was still wilted just now, jumped upstairs like lightning in an instant, and jumped into Jiang Mu's room. In his arms, he threw himself full.

Jiang Mu was busy stroking Jiaozi's back to comfort him, watching Geng Yan rubbing the bitten finger in frustration, Jiang Mu laughed out loud.

The corridors are narrow, the lights are dim, and there is a thunderstorm outside...

As soon as Geng Yan looked up, he saw Jiang Mu smiling. The smile slowly spread from the small brackets on the corner of his mouth, and his mind was cleared at this moment.

"Although the dumplings have been vaccinated, if they bite through, I suggest you at least get a tetanus shot." Jiang Mu said, "Is it broken?"

Geng Yan came to Jiang Mu, put the finger bitten by the dumpling in front of Jiang Mu's eyes, and said with a smile, "It's not broken, but it just hurts."

On Geng Yan's index finger, there was a clear mark of rabbit teeth.

"Who told you to carry dumplings like that." Jiang couldn't laugh or cry, "It hates being pinched by its ears the most."

Seeing Jiang Mu smiling so naturally and relaxedly in front of him, Geng Yan felt a surge of excitement in his heart. It took him a little effort to restrain the urge to reach out to hug Jiang Mu, and said softly, "I will definitely pay attention in the future."
