Aromatherapy

"How can there be such a heavy rain in this season..." Du Shuangci muttered while looking at the rain outside the window, and she closed the window against the wind and rain.Looking at the scenery outside through the window, the field of vision has become blurred, and all the scenery in the city has disappeared under the rain curtain. The raindrops hit the glass, making a ping-pong-pong sound, and there is a certain order in the chaos.

Du Shuangci stood in front of the window and listened. After listening for a while, she suddenly found that this rule seemed to be broken. There was a sharp sound interspersed with the sound of raindrops hitting the glass. Rong Zhen came in with clothes on and asked, "Did someone ring the doorbell?"

Rong Zhen, who was closer to the door, looked at the door: "It seems to be."

Du Shuangci walked over, "Who would come in this weather?" She walked to the door, glanced at the cat's eye, and when she saw the people outside the door, Du Shuangci's heart was shocked.

"What's wrong? Who is it?" Rong Zhen asked behind her.

Du Shuangci turned her head, her expression was a little uneasy and worried, "It's Xiao Yun." She said.

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Open the door quickly." Then he turned and went into the bedroom to put the clothes.Du Shuangci took a deep breath, then opened the door, and saw Li Xinyun clearly, she was stunned for a moment.

She just glanced casually in the cat's eyes, opened the door and saw Li Xinyun, and she saw Li Xinyun's appearance clearly.Li Xinyun looked so embarrassed, he was drenched from head to toe, water stains flowed down his clothes to his feet, and spread to the floor mat in front of the door, he almost didn't seem to be drenched in the rain, but just climbed out of the water Like a water ghost.He hugged a kraft paper bag tightly to his chest, and when he saw Du Shuangci, he looked into her eyes, like a child who lost his way, looking at her gloomy and painful.

"Xiaoyun, you..." Du Shuangci was startled, her temples jumped up suddenly, and she felt an extremely uneasy premonition in her heart, but she just looked at Li Xinyun who was in a mess, and she suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Li Xinyun into the room. In the house, "It's raining so hard, why don't you take an umbrella?"

Li Xinyun was like a puppet, allowing Du Shuangci to drag him in. After entering the door, Rong Zhen also came out of the bedroom, and was also surprised when he saw Li Xinyun's appearance: "What's going on?"

Du Shuangci turned around and said, "Go and get a towel to wipe the child, and find your clothes to change for him—" Her expression was caring and loving, full of worry.However, Li Xinyun held the document bag tightly in his hand with a blank expression. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "...I have something to tell you."

Rong Zhen went to get a large bath towel and came out. Du Shuangci took it and wanted to wipe off the water on Li Xinyun's body, and said, "I have to dry myself if I have anything to do, otherwise what should I do if I catch a cold—"

Li Xinyun took a step back, avoiding Du Shuangci's movements, and then looked at them without saying a word.

"Xiao Yun," Du Shuangci looked at him anxiously, "Is something wrong?"

"I want to show you something." Li Xinyun turned a deaf ear to it, and he bowed and put the wet document on the table.The surface of the document bag has been completely soaked, and the writing on the bag has begun to blur, but even so, under the bright light, the name on the document bag is still clearly visible: Yongguang Appraisal Center.

Du Shuangci was still holding a towel in her hand, looking at the document bag on the table, her hands trembled, the uneasiness in her heart seemed to have a real sense, and it tightened her heart.She almost stammered and asked Li Xinyun: "What is this?"

"I think... the two of you should know what this is." Li Xinyun bent down, and then opened the seal of the rain-soaked file bag. He took out a few A4-sized papers that were stapled together.Because of the protection of the file bag, the paper is still dry.Li Xinyun turned to the last page, and the wet water from his hand stained the paper, quickly blurring the typeface on the paper, Du Shuangci and Rong Zhen's eyes fell asleep, and his movements landed on the last page.

"...According to the DNA test results, the paternal and maternal samples provided can exclude the possibility that the provided child samples are the biological paternal and biological maternal..."

Du Shuangci's face paled visible to the naked eye, she and Rong Zhen quickly looked at each other, forced a calm smile and said, "Xiao Yun, what do you mean?"

Li Xinyun raised his head and looked directly at them. He opened his mouth a few times, as if it was difficult to speak, and finally he opened his mouth hoarsely: "Am I really Rong Yun? Or...you really have Is Rong Yun such a son?"

For an instant, the room was surprisingly quiet, as if there was only the sound of rain that could not be cut off by the glass windows, and even the breath had been held.

Du Shuangci and Rong Zhen looked at each other, and they could see shock and panic in each other's eyes.Du Shuangci yelled: "Xiaoyun... Actually, we can explain this..." Then Rong Zhen grabbed Li Xinyun's arm and said, "Forget it, Shuangci, since he has already done this, I'm afraid he has covered it up." I can't pass." He looked at Li Xinyun, sighed, and said, "I didn't expect you to find out..."

They sat opposite each other at the table, and the black and white report was still placed on the table, looking extremely dazzling.

"Was it the last time you came here? At that time you had already started to become suspicious, so the last time you came here was not to visit us," Du Shuangci asked softly, "but to get samples for testing?"

Li Xinyun did not answer, but the answer is self-evident.

Li Xinyun came here once before to visit Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci. By helping them massage their shoulders, Li Xinyun got their hair samples.

In fact, Li Xinyun didn't often visit Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci's home in the past. Parents are the ones who are most familiar with children in this world. He is afraid that Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci will find out that the soul of this body has been replaced, let alone become the best friend in the world with them. Ordinary sons and parents, because he doesn't know what the most ordinary children and parents in the world should look like—but who would have expected that they are not the most ordinary children and parents in the world at all.

How ridiculous.

This kind of almost absurd deception and concealment, perhaps Li Xinyun should have quarreled with them very fiercely, but at this moment, Li Xinyun felt extremely tired, he didn't even have the energy to question, the three of them just quietly interacted with each other looking at.Li Xinyun was sitting opposite Rong Yun and Du Shuangci, holding the towel that Du Shuangci put on him.The water stains on his body soon soaked the towel, which only brought a colder feeling. The coldness seemed to invade the bone marrow from the skin. He seemed to be shaking even his bones, but he seemed to be just sitting stiffly. It seemed that they were calmly waiting for Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci's confession.

Rong Zhen asked, "How much do you know?"

Li Xinyun murmured: "It's because I don't know how much I know that I feel terrible..." He closed his eyes, "Why do you do this?"

"If our child grows up to this day, he should be about the same age as you. When he was 15 years old, he committed suicide by jumping off a building. Probably because we committed too many sins when we were young, that's why we lost him." At this time, Rong Zhen no longer had the shadow of the usual strict father. If he was a father, he would be a loving father who spoiled his children without principle.

Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci used to be young actors in a repertory troupe when they were young, but when the repertory troupe collapsed, they became self-reliant. They found that they were better at acting in real life than on stage, so they began to use Cheat for a living.They are very good at playing various roles to defraud, and they are also very good at getting away, leaving a mess for the sufferer.

It was not until they heard the news that one of the sufferers committed suicide by jumping off a building that they were terrified and anxious, and they decided to wash their hands.Later, they lived a stable and peaceful life for a period of time, until the 15-year-old child jumped from the school building and died on the spot.

Later investigations said that probably their children suffered from depression.Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci didn't know anything about these things. Ever since they had a child, Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci also spent a lot of effort in taking care of him. They loved him so much, but they still lost him.

Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci dreamed several times, dreaming that the child jumped off the building, and gradually the child's appearance overlapped with the suicide sufferer they had deceived, and they jumped off the building—although no matter which building they jumped from, they were actually the same. They have never seen it, but it has become a nightmare they cannot escape. They think, maybe this is retribution.

"Later, someone came to the door, and we found out that this retribution is not over yet."

Li Xinyun's voice trembled slightly: "... Chen Hongting."

"Yes. One day, Mr. Chen came to the door, and he found out everything about us," Rong Zhen sighed, "He invited us to play the role of someone's parents—that person is you, otherwise..."

Otherwise, Chen Hongting would not be able to guarantee that their past would not be leaked.

Chen Hongting did not threaten them directly, but said that his lover came out of the orphanage and lost his memory because of the accident. He hoped that Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci could give his lover a perfect family that conforms to the worldly imagination and become the most beautiful family in the world. A close and most unusual family.

After pretending for a long time, sometimes Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci really feel that Li Xinyun is their child. If their child grows up healthy and healthy, it will probably look similar to Li Xinyun.

But the more they think about it, the more they feel guilty about the nature of this deceit.Li Xinyun didn't dare to get close to them, so how could they dare to get close to Li Xinyun? What is fake is always fake, and they still have no way to become the closest and most ordinary family members in this world.

"I'm sorry." Rong Zhen said.

But Du Shuangci covered his face, not daring to look at Li Xinyun.

Rong Zhen said: "We will turn ourselves in... After running away for so many years, this retribution will never escape."

"I think, there is probably no need for that..." Li Xinyun looked at them. Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci were both quite old, and their temples were already grey. It turned out to be a pair of fraudsters.

But so what if he was once a superb fraudster, he was not easily deceived by Chen Hongting, and even Chen Hongting was not very clever.He asked Rong Zhen and Du Shuangci to act as a pair of parents, giving the unique love that a child similar to his own who died young longed for. This is more like an opportunity to make up for inner regrets than cheating.

What Chen Hongting used was the sense of guilt and desire for redemption that the couple had hidden in their hearts for many years to create a cage for Li Xinyun that Li Xinyun could not question.

Li Xinyun laughed at himself, for Rong Zhen and his wife, but also for himself: "Your child is as old as me, and he has been dead for so many years. The cases you have committed have probably passed the retrospective period. As for me ..." He leaned over to pick up the document bag and the appraisal report again, "I am not your victim, I am not the one you deceived me."

Li Xinyun said goodbye to them and stepped out of the room.And stepping out of this door, what Li Xinyun is going to meet is the final answer - Li Xinyun is just a private detective who walks alone, even if he accidentally took a secret photo that cannot be shown, making people hesitate to plan a murder, but... And why is he worthy of planning such a ridiculous and painstaking deception?
