Xu Luo nodded, he took Gu Nianyi's hand to signal him to go up, and then slowly interlocked his fingers.

This staircase, Xu Luo, has been completely refurbished, and the former solid wood floor has also been made into a brisk industrial style by him, black and white, with marble appliques on the surface, which looks like elegant piano keys.

Gu Nianyi followed him upstairs, and found that the structure here is different from ordinary villas. The usual house type is that you can go directly to the third floor after turning on the second floor, but this villa has stairs to the third floor. It is in the middle of the two rooms.

"The design of this staircase is quite special." Gu Nianyi said, "Did you remodel it, or is it just like this?"

Xu Luo didn't answer his question. He let go of Gu Nianyi's wrist and walked up the stairs. When Gu Nianyi was about to follow him up, Xu Luo suddenly pushed him back with great strength. , making Gu Nianyi stagger backwards, then he looked at Gu Nianyi and pressed the switch on one side.

To be precise, it is an institution.

A row of steel railings suddenly fell in front of him. After the loud noise, Xu Luo seemed to have entered a cage.He stood at the other end of the stairs and the iron railing and looked down at him.

"..." Gu Nianyi stared at the expressionless Xu Luo behind him, "What does this mean?"

Standing inside the railing, Xu Luo looked at Gu Nianyi, and let out an incomprehensible laugh: "..."

"You agreed to take me upstairs?" Gu Nianyi looked at him and said.

"Sit down." Xu Luo said, "Let's talk."

He sat on the steps while Gu Nianyi stood outside the corridor.

This is not at all like a posture of relaxing and chatting.

Holding his face in his hands, Xu Luo recalled: "Two years ago, the month before Wu Li's death, I had a face-to-face conversation with Lin Pu and Shu Meng. At that time, I hadn't figured it out yet. I feel that there is nothing in this world that I can consider and miss, and I feel that they don't understand my situation at all, but try to save me and convince me."

Xu Luo smiled wryly: "But fortunately, they gave me a hand, otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet."

"My life was not so good from the very beginning." Xu Luo hugged his knees and looked at Gu Nianyi outside the railing, "Although my student life was smooth and my family was very rich. I spent 20 years safely. At the age of [-], I always hoped that my life could be a little greater, instead of always becoming an ordinary person in trivial matters, so I chose to follow my mentor to be a war reporter. After returning to China, my father died unexpectedly, and my mother later And started a family with others.”

This is something that Xu Luo rarely talks about with others, about his family.

"At that time, I was desperate, vulnerable, and sensitive. I felt that the whole world had abandoned me, and no one loved me. It was at that time that Wuli really came into my world."

Gu Nianyi probably understood what he meant.

He thought that Wuli at that time was like a savior to him, the only light in the endless rain.

But I don't know that the ostentatious color is just a charming poppy///that's all.

"I told you that the experience abroad made us close, and because he saved my life, it became a bargaining chip that he often used to hold me in the future. After returning to China, he almost never left me, looked at me, and gave me a lot of love. I love so much and it makes me feel even more guilty. He took care of me, arranged for me to continue studying applied psychology courses in schools in China, and found me a job with a good salary, and he was several years older than me. In the beginning, I was grateful for taking me to him..."

Xu Luo looked up at the top: "In the summer eight years ago, although all the changes around me made me miserable, the domestic environment gave me a brief sigh of relief. The main reason was that I no longer had to worry about my life. Going to school, having a job, I have a lot of money, and I have a handsome...boyfriend who picks me up and picks me up after class and takes care of me."

Xu Luo looked at Gu Nianyi with a wry smile, the light converged into a point, and there was a slight fluctuation in his eyes: "Do you understand that feeling?"

"I don't quite understand." Gu Nianyi said, "But I understand, let's continue."

"That summer, a girl who was in a project with me while I was in graduate school confessed to me. After he found out, that was probably when my nightmare started... Although I kept explaining to him that it was the other party's unilateral But he didn't give up because of it." Xu Luo said, "Of course, at first I thought it was just ordinary possessiveness or jealousy, as long as I deliberately avoided the distance between myself and the opposite sex."

"But since then, he has not allowed me to interact with others, monitored all my communication devices in real time, and locked me in the house all the time. As long as others talk to me, he will delete all his information in the name of protection , I will lose my temper with me if I show a little disobedience, and completely disregard my wishes to force me to be with him, so that I have no sense of pleasure in the relationship. .”

"In order to get revenge on me, he forced me to do a lot of things." Xu Luo knelt down on the railing in front of him, holding the two railings with both hands, "Some people think it's a kind of love///interest in love life , of course there are people who play like this, but he is not, he is not at all. This kind of thing is always what you want, and I was forced from the beginning. Later, he deliberately brought people in front of me to praise others Belittling me, interceding with me afterwards, and emphasizing that my life was picked up by him. Repeatedly, my mental state has some problems. I don’t know if he used drugs on me during that time, and he also beat me. Me, imprison me, burn me with cigarette butts."

He opened his arm: "These scars are almost all from that time, and they will be added when they are better. The old and new injuries are finally mixed together."

Gu Nianyi also squatted down. He sat here and reached out to hold his wrist: "..."

"I'm a bit regretful, I should have asked for help at the time..." Xu Luo smiled, "At that time, I still had some awareness of this. Although I was locked up by him, at least I fought for the right to return to society. Although I He monitors all social software, whether it is me, my tutor or classmates, he will check them one by one, but at least I am in contact with them."

"..." Gu Nianyi said, "You mean, you could call for help, but you didn't."

"Yes, I didn't do anything." Xu Luo leaned his forehead against the cold pillar, "I thought that I understood my personality and psychology, and knew what method I should use to heal myself, but I thought it was too simple. I started weaving lies about myself, I started weaving lies about him."

"Yes, it's the psychological hint we often say... In the end, I finally, completely, stopped thinking about my situation." Xu Luo said, "I lost myself, and all the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys were on him. So far, He no longer needs to do anything to me, I will follow him willingly and will not betray him."

"...Why?" Gu Nianyi said.

"Because I'm afraid that he will leave me, that I will lose him." Xu Luo stretched out his hand, reached into the railing, and clamped Gu Nianyi's chin, "Just like you are doing now."

He tilted his head, with a naive smile on his face: "Have you ever thought that the way I seduce///seduce you from the beginning is to imitate him?"

"You didn't hurt me." Gu Nianyi raised his head and looked at him with his chin pinched.

"Wu Li didn't intend to harm me at the time, but I'm not sure what purpose he has in the future." Xu Luo said, "How do you know I have no purpose, Officer Gu?"

Then I am also willing.

When Gu Nianyi was about to say this, he was shocked in place, he opened his mouth, the words lingered in his throat, and he didn't say it in a daze.

Xu Luo laughed out loud, and let go of him: "Officer Gu, did you want to tell me just now, then I would like to?"

Gu Nianyi swallowed his saliva.

"You see, it's not easy to reject this feeling." Xu Luo said, "Besides, you have a special occupation. It is actually a very dangerous thing to trust a stranger 100% in your relationship. I know all about it. things, don't you know?"

"What about you!" Gu Nianyi suddenly couldn't control the unknown anger in his chest, and slapped the railing with such a slap, "Did you convince me once from the beginning to the end? You have been here to persuade me these words , What exactly do you mean? Is it because you don’t like me and made me quit? Or is it some other reason, can you explain it clearly and tell me completely!”

The railing shook and made a strange noise.

Gu Nianyi stood up and went to the inner side wall to find the switch that separated the three floors like an iron cage, trying to open the sudden partition between the two of them.He reached in, but the back of his hand got stuck in the gap, and he couldn't touch the switch on the wall.

Xu Luo came over and said, "I don't dislike you, on the contrary, I really... like you more and more."

"When I was decorating this villa, I knew that it already belonged to me completely. I hope that every inch of it will be what the two of us will look like in the future. I hope that I can take a nap with you every sunny afternoon. " Xu Luo looked at him, with tears in his eyes, "So I also wondered if I was a little too extravagant."

"Then why do you have to look forward and backward? Just do it according to your own ideas." Gu Nianyi patted the railing and said, "Open it for me."

"..." Xu Luo shook his head, "You will regret it."

"That's all you want to tell me, isn't it? Are these amazing things? Who hasn't a little past, and as your boyfriend, I don't think about how to help you save you from eating a The jealousy of the person who hurt you?! Am I sick? Should I fall in love with him, or with you?" Gu Nianyi slapped the railing hard, "Yes! I regret now that I met you after him ..."

Gu Nianyi said: "Yes, that's right, you guessed my thoughts correctly, I would rather you control me, and I would be willing, and I would also be willing if you told lies."

Xu Luo looked at him.

"Because I love you." Gu Nianyi said, "I also know that you will never become Wuli."

Xu Luo stared at him closely, his eyes didn't seem to have any focus, but his sight was firmly imprisoning him.After a while, he raised his hand and pressed the switch next to the light, the iron railing moved, and slowly went up with the sound of machinery.

Gu Nianyi stepped forward and hugged Xu Luo.

"You're so fucking stupid..." Xu Luo's chest heaved and he let him hold her, his eyes turned aside.

"To each other." Gu Nianyi said, "The first thing I did when I turned around and moved in was to tear down the damn railing."

It is not difficult to see that this is the place Wuli built to imprison him.

"The third floor used to be Wu Li's bedroom, and it was also where he locked me up occasionally." Xu Luo led him up, and Gu Nianyi saw a pure white world.Above is a small window, through which the sun shines in. The headboard and sheets of pure white rhombic pattern are all dazzlingly white.

"Originally there was only one skylight here, and all the surrounding windows were sealed. When I asked the workers to open this window for me for the first time, I felt really good to see the scenery outside." Xu Luo sat on the bay window with white Plush faux fur upholstery, "I can read a book, drink wine and bask in the sun here."

Gu Nianyi looked around and said, "...do you have bad memories of this place?"

"Not at all." Xu Luo said, "And I think that I was once imprisoned here, and now I am completely free, and I feel so fucking good."

Gu Nianyi sat next to him, leaning heavily on his knees and said, "I've told you all my thoughts just now, what about you?"

"Me?" Xu Luo stood up, came over and knelt on his lap, holding his face, "Didn't I just say enough?"

Gu Nianyi didn't speak any more, he leaned his nose against his neck, and Xu Luo put one arm around him while looking up at the ceiling.

After being so gentle for a while, Xu Luo suddenly said, "Gu Nianyi."

"Huh?" Gu Nianyi muffled in response.

"I lied to you." Xu Luo raised his head and said, "Actually, I unlocked that safe a long time ago."
