eighth story

Wu Qinyang thought he had a trick, and raised his eyebrows at Tan Yi where Qin Yao couldn't see.Tan Yi signaled him to "stop here" with his eyes, and then saw Qin Yao go out thoughtfully, without closing the door.

Wu Qinyang hurried over and locked the door.Tan Yi sat on the bed with a quilt rolled up in his arms, and looked at him with a half-smile, with an obvious expression of "just look at me and say you can't do it".Wu Qinyang touched his nose, thinking that he was just nervous, and sat down to discuss the next battle plan with Tan Yi: "Do you think my mother has reacted?"

Tan Yi also touched his nose following his example, and replied honestly, "I don't know."

Wu Qinyang said: "Then what should we do, if she thinks it's okay, we're not working in vain."

Tan Yi sighed with feeling: "This is the so-called planning depends on people and success depends on God." Still in that unfathomable tone, he put down the quilt and stood up.

Wu Qinyang hurriedly said, "What are you doing?"

Tan Yi said, "Take a shower." He dug out a set of toiletries from his schoolbag, "Borrow the bathroom." He went straight to the bathroom in Wu Qinyang's bedroom.

Wu Qinyang: "..."

Although he said to Qin Yao to "take a bath together", he would not really go out of his mind to take a mandarin duck bath with Tan Yi.He sighed half-truthfully for his unsuccessful first battle, Wu Qinyang heard the sound of rushing water in the bathroom, closed his eyes, and couldn't help but see Xuan Jue's smooth and fair back lines in his mind. The shallow depression resembles a curvaceous dove.Wu Qinyang licked his lips, and that bit of distracted thoughts reappeared, and he thought of the hideous scar on Xuanjue's back, and in a trance, the scar actually split open in front of his eyes, like a hearty red scarf. rain.Wu Qinyang's heart skipped a beat, and he broke out in a cold sweat for no reason. He could still hear the sound of splashing water in the bathroom, which sounded like blood splattering.

Wu Qinyang panicked all of a sudden, ran to the door of the bathroom, knocked on the door and shouted: "Jerry!"

The sound of water in the bathroom across the wall stopped abruptly. After a rustling sound, Tan Yi finally opened the door, and walked out "in a daze", wondering: "What's wrong?"

Wu Qinyang looked into the bathroom nervously, everything was as usual.

"No...it's nothing." Wu Qinyang whispered, "I...I'm going to the bathroom."

"Ah?" Tan Yi said, "Are you all right?"

"No." Wu Qinyang shook his head, and closed the bathroom door casually, the horrific fantasy of that scene just now was still beating in his mind, as if he was suffocating.

No, it's impossible.Brother won't...

Wu Qinyang washed his face, and looked at himself in the mirror blankly.

Then he rushed out of the bathroom, and under Tan Yi's bewildered gaze, he took out the cell phone under the pillow and called Xuan Jue.

Over there, Xuan Jue was thinking about the level 85 Golden Sword Assassin who suddenly went offline, when his cell phone rang, it turned out to be the assassin himself who ran away after being apprenticed.Xuan Jue didn't realize that there was a smile in his eyes, he answered the phone: "Yang Yang?"

"Brother...?" Wu Qinyang gradually calmed down and asked tentatively, "Are you okay?"

"Ah?" Xuan Jue didn't understand why at first, and then suddenly became nervous, worried whether Wu Qinyang had noticed something, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Wu Qin said, "It's good that you're fine." He began to complain about why he had such thoughts suddenly, how could he curse his brother, and quickly took the receiver away and turned to the air, "Bah, bah, bah, bah." "A few times, but the scene still made him shudder when he thought of it, and he couldn't help but said pitifully, "Brother..."

Xuan Jue really had nothing to do with him, and said softly: "What's the matter?"

"It's really nothing." Wu Qin was quiet, thinking that Tan Yi was still sitting next to him, "I just miss you, nothing else, bye." He was afraid that Xuanjue might hear something unusual, so he hurried Hang up the phone.

Looking back, Tan Yi was staring at himself with a "what's the matter with you" expression.Wu Qinyang felt uncomfortable for a moment, and quickly said, "I'm going to take a shower too." Putting down his phone, he went to the bathroom.

Over there, Qin Yao returned to the bedroom with a wandering expression on her face, turning a blind eye to Wu Chunxing's concerned eyes, sitting cross-legged on the bed and began to imitate her son's thinking about life.

I can't tell what is wrong, but there is an inexplicable sense of disobedience that tries to show its existence in every possible way.Qin Yao raised her hand and pinched the bridge of her nose, and began to think about what it meant for her son to suddenly bring a classmate home for the night.Wu Qinyang has always had no intention of showing off his excellent family background, unless it was like when he was just in elementary school, he was bullied to the top, so he would use his status as an uncle to suppress him once. For this reason, Qin Yao has always been very satisfied with her son low-key.Although Wu Qinyang handled ordinary interpersonal relationships well, it also indirectly led to the fact that he seldom brought his classmates home, or he invited classmates to his house for a party on his birthday, and he did not take a classmate alone Go home and sleep in the same bed and... take a bath together.

Although it is the seemingly high-sounding reason of "the water heater in the bedroom is broken and I can't take a shower".

Qin Yao thought about it carefully. For so many years, apart from taking a bath and sleeping with his father and brother, her son has never seen him have such a relationship with any classmate.Coupled with the visual impact of the moment the door is pushed open, although there is nothing excessive, Qin Yao still feels that something is wrong.

Wu Chunxing brought a glass of honey water at the right time, interrupting Qin Yao's thinking: "What are you thinking about?"

"Ah?" Qin Yao was startled, took the cup from Wu Chunxing's hand, sat upright, and said to Wu Chunxing in an important tone, "Dad, what do you think about the classmate Yang Yang brought back...? "

Wu Chunxing was taken aback by Qin Yao's words "baby's father", and replied: "He's a pretty good boy, what's the matter?"

Qin Yao said: "I think it's a little... that." After thinking for a long time, I didn't know how to describe it, "Yang Yang said that he wanted to take a bath with him..."

If Wu Chunxing was drinking something, he would probably spit it out. Looking at Qin Yao's tangled expression, he responded, "What's the matter?"

"He..." Qin Yao said, "Anyway, I think it's a bit strange... Well, you don't understand a woman's sixth sense."

Wu Chunxing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yangyang still bathes and sleeps with his brother all day long, why don't you tell me?"

"That's true..." Qin Yao said, thinking that Wu Qinyang has often played tricks on Xuan Jue on weekdays, which is quite normal in his own eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder if he was being overwhelmed .

Wu Chunxing actually understood Qin Yao's meaning, but he didn't point it out. He accidentally told the truth in his heart-even if Yang Yang had that thought, he must be with his brother, and he would go home with his classmates to find a sense of existence?He is still very confident in his son's IQ - he has personally verified that no matter how high-tech talents are, they sometimes make mistakes in judgment.

Wu Qinyang took a shower and came back, deciding not to think about what happened just now.Tan Yi has changed into proper pajamas and is sitting in front of the table. This time, he is really serious about reading.Wu Qinyang dried his hair, looked at his watch and it was almost eleven o'clock, and said casually, "Jerry, aren't you going to sleep?"

Tan Yi said: "I've finished reading this chapter." As he spoke, he turned sideways, with that sly look flashing in his eyes again, "But then again, how do we sleep?"

Wu Qinyang said: "Didn't we agree to sleep together..."

Tan Yi asked back, "Are you used to sleeping?"

"Uh..." Wu Qinyang really didn't think about this issue. He only slept with Xuan Jue on the same bed, or with a pillow. He had never tried lying next to him with another big living person. Thinking about it I think it's quite embarrassing, what if I fell asleep and hugged Tan Yi as Xuan Jue? They are truly pure comrades-in-arms. Although it is now a "gossip couple" setting, he didn't think about it. It's too much to take advantage of Tan Yi, besides, behind Tan Yi is Tang Yu who doesn't know his temper.

"So..." Tan Yi said slowly, "You are not used to it, and I am not used to it, so we still sleep in separate beds."

Wu Qinyang thought about it, so he said "hmm" and said, "Then I'll make a bed on the floor, anyway, my mother won't wake up in the middle of sleep and come to check the ward..."

Tan Yi said, "I can also make a floor shop."

Wu Qinyang said: "No, you are a guest. By the way, do you think there is any need to adjust the next plan?"

Tan Yi said: "Let's proceed step by step. It's best for your mother to understand. I think your father is easy to talk to."

Wu Qinyang said: "So the point is to deal with my mother... How about we create a little more... um, illusion?"

Tan Yi said: "I think it's almost the same. If it is too much, it seems to be intentional." He began to analyze the general train of thought for him again, "Think about it, most people find out that they are gay, unless their parents are very enlightened, otherwise who will bring someone back If you tell your parents directly, 'I found a boyfriend and brought it back for you to see', you must first cover it up for a while, or let the family members have a psychological preparation. If you really have the courage Why do you want me to help you, just tell your mother 'I like my brother' and it's over."

"Keep your voice down!" Wu Qinyang looked like a cat whose tail had been grabbed, "Seriously!"

"Okay, okay." Tan Yi said, "I mean this matter can't be rushed, or I'll go back tomorrow and come back next week. Your mother's cooking is good."

"Come here for dinner, anyway, my mother is usually free." Wu Qinyang said, "That's fine... Come back next week and see if my mother responds."

"It's fine if you think it's okay." After Tan Yi finished speaking, he went to read his textbook again.

Wu Qinyang hugged the quilt and made a bed on the floor, straddled the pillow with one leg, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Qin Yao's face remained unchanged, and her hospitality to Tan Yi was still cordial and thoughtful.During lunch, Tan Yi said in a timely manner, "The water heater in the dormitory has been repaired, so I won't bother you," and went back to school by himself in the afternoon.Wu Qinyang and Yin Hao spent another afternoon in the gymnasium, but he still couldn't make Uncle Yin fight back. Instead, he had a great fight with Xiao Sun, who replaced Xiang Dan, and went home sweating profusely. .

In fact, Wu Qinyang entered the first-level preparation state immediately after Tan Yi left, waiting for the fucking phrase "Come on Yangyang, let's talk", but he waited until Sunday afternoon, and he was going back to school. I didn't see Qin Yao having such a meaning.Wu Qinyang thought that his first phase of the battle plan had probably failed, and he was a little bit disappointed. After returning to school, he remembered that Yin Hao said yesterday that the case of the group did not seem to be progressing, so he couldn't help but search the Internet for news.

Pan Xiaoxin's Weibo homepage stopped at 21:46 on the [-]th, and the last Weibo was still the one sent from her mobile phone, "I've got off the car now..." Yunyun, the number of retweets has also stabilized at [-] Hundred or so.Wu Qinyang followed Pan Xiaoxin's Weibo forwarding and clicked on Xia Yixing's homepage again, and found that the latter had updated Weibo several times after that, all of which were tagged with "#最新发展#", and the content was the same as what Xiang Dan told before. His news is similar, nothing more than "the surveillance video of the subway station did not see the picture of getting off the train carefully", "the police have searched the subway thoroughly", "the possibility of kidnapping is not ruled out for now" and "be careful that you may change clothes and get off the train Please pay attention" and other content, for the last guess, a recent photo of Pan Xiaoxin without a hat is attached.

Wu Qinyang turned to Xia Yixing's original long Weibo again, and the number of retweets finally stabilized at around [-]. The retweets of the "#最新发展#" series showed an obvious downward trend, except for the last one with a bareheaded photo attached. It was retweeted [-] times, but obviously didn't get any useful news.

Classmate Wu’s thinking of science students began to subconsciously run at high speed again, and even roughly built a three-dimensional model in his mind-this matter brought about the initial heat-up and fermentation through the Internet, after a period of upsurge in the situation , and now inevitably began to cool down slowly.

This is the terrible thing about the Internet.

It can make an inconspicuous hour instantly known to everyone, but it can also make the original focus replaced by a new hot spot at the fastest speed. When people accept external information, they more or less have both The attribute of liking the new and disliking the old - this can be said to be an objective law to some extent.Wu Qinyang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was only a week since he learned of the case. More people, including himself, only regarded the missing Pan Xiaoxin as something to talk about in their spare time.If another ten days and a half months passed, I am afraid that apart from Pan Xiaoxin's parents, her friends and the police who tried their best to find people and solve the case, not many people would care about her safety anymore.

Wu Qinyang didn't know whether it was because of Pan Xiaoxin's uncertain life or his own indifference, so he finally sighed.

Although he is very happy to see ordinary people who have always been at odds with him face the predicament of not going well in his official career-but Wu Qinyang also knows that he should not gloat at this time, and he can still distinguish between unwarranted personal grievances and human lives. As Xia Yixing wrote on Weibo - "Be careful, come back soon", this is the top priority now.

Wu Qinyang originally thought that this matter would gradually disappear from the public's view, and eventually turned into another thorny problem that would make his Uncle Qiao slap the table and stare at him—Student Wu is obviously not a qualified prophet, because he has not yet Three days later, the live broadcast of the second disappearance caused another uproar on the Internet.
