Su Wei

Chapter 35

Of course Rhubarb didn't immediately change into Lu Xiao just because of a joy, Lu Xiao only reappeared after two or three days.Su Wei even felt that maybe the information Lu Xiao received shocked him so much that he switched a personality to adjust himself.

When Lu Xiao walked out of the bedroom in his pajamas with no expression on his face, Su Wei even felt relieved - what should come finally came.

Su Wei motioned him to sit down: "You didn't kill Lu Xiang."

Lu Xiao gave him a puzzled look.

Su Wei said: "I asked the police, if you put nail polish on the rat poison to delay the drug's action, the forensic doctor can detect it. But there is no rat poison in Lu Xiang's abdomen—you didn't kill her."

Lu Xiao let out an "oh", lowered his eyes, and didn't respond any more.

Su Wei pondered for a while and asked, "How do you think the rat poison in her belly came from?"

Lu Xiao calmly replied, "She ate it herself."

Su Wei raised his eyebrows.

Lu Xiao said: "No one but me can give her medicine. Since she didn't eat the one I took, she ate it herself after I left." He paused here and asked: " When did she die?"

"The afternoon you disappeared."

"That's right. She ate it herself."

Su Wei tapped the table with his fingers, and asked word by word: "You said just now that no one can do it except you, but you asked when she died...Actually, you thought of another person with a motive for committing the crime." people, isn't it?"

Lu Xiao glanced at him again, this time he saw the certainty in Su Wei's expression, so he pursed his lips and did not answer.

Su Wei sighed softly: "Then tell me, why did she swallow rat poison herself? To commit suicide?"

Lu Xiao's tone was calm, as if he had seen what happened: "She wanted to die, and she wanted to drag me into the water before she died. She took the medicine after I left. I am innocent to the police, but If no one told me, I would have thought that I killed her."

"Then why did she jump off the building?"

"That bit of rat poison won't kill anyone at all."

Su Wei smiled: "So you don't want her to die subconsciously, do you?"

Lu Xiao let out a long breath: "Things in the subconscious are too complicated, I can't control them at all, right? At least my consciousness tells me that I really want her to die."

"Why do you say she wants to drag you into the water? If that's the case, she can take the medicine you prescribed."

"Like you said, subconsciously, she didn't want me to go to jail or pay for her life. She just wanted to torture me, to make me feel guilty and tortured for it."

"Why would she do this?"

Lu Xiao was silent for about ten seconds, smiled lightly, and suddenly threw out a sentence: "Everything I did was just to get revenge on her, and what she did was just to get revenge on me .”

This time it was Su Wei's turn to be silent.

Emotion is a very complicated thing. Although he doesn't understand everything Lu Xiao said, he can understand it.Sometimes you think you hate someone, but you don't hate him with all your heart; sometimes you think you want someone dead, but in fact you can't live without him.There is no such thing as pure love or pure hate in this world. There are too many complicated external factors, which will lead to too complicated results.

Lu Xiao suddenly said: "She was nice to me before."

Su Wei was stunned for a long time before he realized: "Before your father died?"

Lu Xiao closed his eyes, neither confirming nor denying, and smiled wistfully: "There are some things I didn't understand before, but I just understand now..."

Su Wei wanted to ask him what he understood, but Lu Xiao murmured softly, half crying and half laughing: "Yeah... I finally figured it all out..."

Su Wei put his hand over his: "Can't you tell me?"

Lu Xiao shook his head: "I really want to tell you, but I don't want to either."

Su Wei asked, "Do you want more, or don't you want more?"

Lu Xiao didn't hesitate: "I don't want to."

Su Wei sighed, looked at him with complicated eyes, reached out and stroked his hair: "Then I'll wait for the day you are willing to say."

After Su Wei walked away, Lu Xiao walked to the balcony and stared fixedly at the opposite window with closed curtains.He murmured to himself in a low voice: "It's come to this point, let's forget about the past..."

That night, Su Wei turned on the computer and unexpectedly found that the "extremely hypnotic" log had been updated.

The last log with a blood-red background was replaced with light blue, and the line "A powerful psychologist can control everything" was deleted and replaced with a new sentence——

"He may be able to control other people's hearts, but he cannot control himself."

Su Wei looked at the computer screen and was silent for a long time.

Su Wei found that Lu Xiao had changed.He has become less indifferent than before, and he is not as afraid of looking into other people's eyes and contacting strangers as before.Sometimes Su Wei offered to take him out for a walk, but he didn't resist.Even on the road, when he met some of the neighbors that Rhubarb had known before, and those people greeted Lu Xiao, he didn't show nervousness or discomfort.

Sometimes when Su Wei turns around, he finds that Lu Xiao is looking at him, there is something vaguely hidden in his eyes, as if he is inviting him to see through the clouds and mists.But when Su Wei really wanted to explore, Lu Xiao had already looked away.

Lu Xiao once again proposed to visit Lu Xiang's grave.This time without Su Wei's telling, he prepared three bouquets of lilies himself.

When he arrived at the cemetery, because Lu Xiao had just visited his biological parents not long ago, he left without standing for long after putting down the lilies.

Arriving in front of Lu Xiang's tomb, Lu Xiao leaned on the tombstone, half kneeling and half sitting, in the posture of a child leaning on an adult's arms.He fiddled with the lily in his hand, but most of the time he was silent, sometimes he whispered something to himself, and Su Wei couldn't understand what he said.

When he finally got up to leave, Su Wei looked at his watch, half an hour had passed.

Maybe time doesn't tell everything, but it does tell some.Lu Xiao stood in front of his father's grave for 5 minutes, stood in front of his mother's grave for 1 minute, and knelt in front of his stepmother's grave for half an hour.During that time, what he was thinking about must have been the past memories with the owner of the tomb and sorting out his feelings for the owner of the tomb.In fact, thinking about it, I know how old he was when Lu Xiao's biological mother died, and he didn't remember much; when Lu Xiao's father died, he was still young, although he did remember, but there were not many things worth remembering; and In the first 18 years, the person he has lived with the longest is her stepmother. Whether it is hate or love, there are too many things to remember.

After leaving the cemetery, Lu Xiao said: "Come back to my old home with me, I want to get something."

The place where Lu Xiao and Lu Xiang used to live was searched many times by the police, and later the furniture inside was sold by some unscrupulous distant relatives, because the house was temporarily vacant because it was unlucky to die.When Su Wei and Lu Xiao broke the seal and walked in, there was almost nothing left inside except for the thick dust.

Lu Xiao walked into the bathroom, started tapping bricks from the corner, and stopped when he counted to a certain brick, then took out a needle from his bag and carefully inserted it into the crack of the brick.

After a while, Lu Xiao took down four bricks, revealing a tin box hidden in the wall.He took out the tin box.

When he was doing this, Su Wei just watched coldly.

Lu Xiao didn't open the tin box immediately, but refilled the bricks, picked up the box and said, "Let's go."

Su Wei was not in a hurry to know what was in the box—since Lu Xiao would bring him to this place and take out the things in front of him, it would be sooner or later to show him what was inside.

Sure enough, after returning to Su Wei's house, Lu Xiao opened the box in front of Su Wei.

There were some odds and ends in the box, the first thing Su Wei noticed was an electronic watch.It was a cheap children's watch, with cartoon characters painted on the dial and colorful bubbles of different sizes painted on the strap. Due to disrepair, the place where the time was displayed was blank and lost its ability to tell the time.

Lu Xiao took out the watch: "This is a birthday present from Lu Xiang."

Su Wei asked, "How old is the birthday present?"

Lu Xiao didn't even think about it: "Ten years old."

Su Wei nodded.

Lu Xiao took out a lot of things one after another.

There is a small wooden cage that can hold cicadas, which Lu Mijin made for him when he was seven years old; there are several buildable Pokemon models given by snacks, which are his childhood toys; Several paper cranes and lucky stars were made by himself when he was a child...

Su Wei picked up a small dinosaur toy: "What is this?"

Lu Xiao took it over: "Ren Xiaoqian sent it."

Su Wei said, "Is he your only friend?"

Lu Xiao was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "It's sort of."

A jade pendant caught Su Wei's attention.It was a piece of excellent Hetian jade, and Su Wei could feel the warmth of the jade when he put it in his palm. It must be expensive, and it is not the same as a bunch of cheap playthings in the tin box.He turned the jade body over and looked at it, and found that the word "road" was engraved on the jade pendant.

Su Wei asked, "What is this?"

Lu Xiao calmly replied: "A gift from a friend."

"Friends?" Su Wei's eyebrows moved: "Friends other than Ren Xiaoqian?"

Lu Xiao was obviously not happy with his tone: "Is there any problem?"

Su Wei returned the jade pendant to him.

Finally, Lu Xiao took out a yellowed diary from the box.

Su Wei stretched out his hand: "Can you show me?"

Lu Xiao hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Not yet."

"When is it not temporary."

Lu Xiao looked into his eyes: "When I trust you completely."

Su Wei suddenly felt a sense of frustration.

Finally, Lu Xiao put all the things back into the tin box, and put the tin box on the top floor of Suwei's bookcase—unlocked.

Su Wei stood behind him, looking at the back of him putting things on tiptoe, just wanted to smile wryly: If you don't trust me, put things here, wouldn't you be afraid of me peeping?If you trust me, why bother to hide it?

But he knew that before Lu Xiao agreed, he would never touch that box again.
