After hearing Zhuo Yumo's story about Zhong Li, Doctor Bai frowned and thought for a while, "I haven't met Zhong Li yet, so it's hard to draw conclusions, but based on what I know about Zhong Li's past, they probably have similarities. experience." She said with a sigh of pity, "When Zhong Li settles down, if he allows, I would like to visit him."

"This matter still depends on what he and Luo Ting want. I can't decide for them now." Zhuo Yumo also sighed, his eyes full of distress and unbearable.

Up to now, even if no one told him the truth, he can guess about seven or eight points. The only difference from the truth is probably only the degree of depth, and he can't bear to imagine how a ten-year-old child can bear the burden. Those who lived through the cruel past—Luo Ting said that Zhong Mu was cowardly, but he felt that in order to protect himself and to have a better future for himself, he chose to forget the harm he suffered in the past.

At this moment, he just wanted to hug his lover.

********

Three days later, Luo Ting came back and brought Zhong Li back.

Zhuo Yumo drove to the airport to pick them up.

Zhong Li is still fair enough to see the blue blood vessels under the skin, and the dark circles under his eyes have not faded much.He was wearing a retro style loose shirt, standing beside Luo Ting without saying a word, staring straight at others, looking a little sick.Many people accidentally looked at him when they passed by them, they were startled by his eyes, and then hurriedly bowed their heads and left.

Seeing them coming out, Zhuo Yumo hurried up to meet them, took the suitcases in their hands, and quickly and accurately placed a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of Luo Ting's nose.

"I've been on TV, and now I know a lot of people, why don't you wear sunglasses." Zhuo Yumo himself was still wearing a mask. He hated it, but last time he went to the supermarket with Zhong Mu and was surrounded by crowds and secretly photographed. Quite a few photos.Zhong Mu hated this more than others, and after that, they would remember to cover their faces a little when they went out, so as not to be recognized by others.

As he spoke, he looked at Zhong Li beside Luo Ting, wondering if he should give him the other pair of sunglasses.

Luo Ting saw his hesitation, took the sunglasses from him naturally, put them on the bridge of Zhong Li's nose without saying a word.

"Xiao Mu?" Zhong Li, who was wearing sunglasses, tilted his head innocently, and leaned against Luo Ting very affectionately.Probably because he has been abroad for too long, his Chinese is weird now, with an indescribably strange accent.

Luo Ting rolled his eyes forcefully behind the sunglasses, distanced himself from Zhong Li mercilessly, held Zhuo Yumo's hand with one hand, and said to Zhong Li indifferently: "Follow me."

"Okay." Zhong Li smiled, not paying attention to Luo Ting's deliberate alienation at all, after hearing what he said, he was actually very happy.

Zhuo Yumo has been observing Zhong Li secretly, and feels that the young man in front of him is completely different from the "Dr. The whole performance is just like a kid in his teens, so pure that people can't bear to say "no" to him.

Guessing that it might be the trauma of the past that made Zhong Li's mind stay in his childhood, Zhuo Yumo felt that her husband was too hard on his brother, so he secretly shook Luo Ting's hand, hinting that he should not go too far.

Luo Ting turned his head to look at his lover, frowned suddenly, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Stay away from him, don't be fooled by his appearance."

While he was talking, Zhong Li leaned over again and asked cautiously, "Xiao Mu, where are we... going now?"

"I repeat, my name is Luo Ting, not your younger brother, not Xiao Mu. I will take you to where you live now." When Luo Ting was talking to Zhong Li, he still put his arms around Zhuo Yumo's waist in a very vigilant manner. , the pair of eyes behind the sunglasses were extremely cautious and gloomy, as if he was afraid that Zhong Li would hurt him.

After hearing Luo Ting's words, Zhong Li's face darkened, he lowered his head and obediently said "Oh" and then stopped talking.

Zhong Li's lost appearance made Zhuo Yumo feel quite uncomfortable, but he had no doubts about what Luo Ting said. After all, that photo had too much psychological impact on him. There is that look.Compared with Zhong Li, he is now more worried about Luo Ting. He and Zhong Li seem to be of the same kind. He looks normal in front of people he cares about, but he is indifferent and even aggressive towards other people and things.He was very afraid that Luo Ting's suppressed nature would be induced by Zhong Li again.

What a headache.

Zhuo Yumo sighed secretly, maintaining his composure on the surface, and took Luo Ting and Zhong Li into the car.He was driving, Luo Ting sat in the passenger seat, and Zhong Li was alone in the back seat.He found that Luo Ting was secretly monitoring Zhong Li behind him through the rearview mirror all the way, as if he was really wary of him.

Is Zhong Li really that scary?

During the few days when Luo Ting went to pick up Zhong Li, Zhuo Yumo had already hired someone to clean the villa where Zhong Li was housed, and hired two caretakers with amazing efficiency. Because Luo Ting strongly suggested, he specially chose They hired able-bodied male caregivers and informed them in advance that they were serving people with mental illness.

After arriving at the villa, Zhuo Yumo asked Luo Ting to take Zhong Li to get acquainted with the place first, while he went to the room with his luggage and wanted to help his elder brother organize the clothes he brought back.And when he opened Zhong Li's suitcase, he found that what he brought back was pitifully small, not many clothes, only three pairs of shoes, and the rest were just a few old records and a book that had been turned over to the margins and had corners damaged. The old book that is all rolled up is "The Little Prince".

When Zhuo Yumo took out the book, he realized that it was a children's version. Not only did it have a lot of illustrations, but the text was also phonetically written.A card slipped out of the book, and he quickly picked it up.This card is also very old, with old yellow on the edges. On the front of the card is a picture of a mother rabbit holding a baby bunny, and on the back is written a line of beautiful small characters: Happy birthday to my mother's favorite Xiao Li.

Zhuo Yumo's heart suddenly felt sour after the carefully drawn love heart behind the small characters.

This book should be a birthday present from Zhong Li's mother.

The child was sent abroad alone, and the only thing he took away was the book given by the deceased mother.

Zhuo Yumo rubbed his sore eyes, and solemnly placed the book on the cabinet next to the bed, so that Zhong Li could reach out and get it before going to bed.

After packing up his things, he went downstairs and saw Luo Ting and Zhong Li in the flower garden behind the house.

Because no one lives here all year round, the flower garden has long been deserted.Zhuo Yumo asked someone to weed the flowerbed and sprinkled some flower seeds, so now the flowerbed looks bare.

At this moment, Zhong Li was moving chairs to the flower garden, while Luo Ting followed him, not intending to help at all, it seemed that he was simply watching.Seeing this, Zhuo Yumo hurriedly followed to help Zhong Li, but just as he stretched out his hand, Zhong Li looked up.

Zhuo Yumo stopped moving all of a sudden.

Zhong Li looked at Luo Ting last second, his eyes were soft and innocent, but now he turned to look at Zhuo Yumo, his eyes changed, cold, empty, but full of cruel interest, as if he was evaluating Zhuo Yumo as a prey How can you score with the plaything? Thinking about how to "play" him is the most interesting and enjoyable.

With just such a glance, Zhuo Yumo broke out in a cold sweat.

But in the next second, the eyes he and Zhong Li were looking at were covered by a warm and dry hand, and Luo Ting's voice rang in his ears: "Don't look at him, the more scared you are, the happier he is. You Just ignore him."

Luo Ting's tone was very gentle, but Zhuo Yumo unexpectedly felt a little creepy.His eyes were covered, but he could sense that Luo Ting should be looking at Zhong Li at this moment.Maybe Zhong Li turned back to that well-behaved big boy, but Luo Ting turned into the Zhong Li just now.

He held Luo Ting's hand nervously, for fear that Luo Ting would make some unacceptable behavior.Fortunately, Luo Ting just took him into his arms and silently warned Zhong Li not to make mistakes.Probably also understood the message that "brother" wanted to convey, Zhong Li no longer stared at Zhuo Yumo, but continued to drag the chair, looked left and right, and finally found a satisfactory place to place it.

Afterwards, Zhong Li obediently sat on the chair, staring down at the soil in the flower garden.Zhuo Yumo gradually walked out of the astonishment and terror just now, looked down at his watch, and estimated the time when the nurse would arrive.He raised his head and glanced at Luo Ting, and found that he was still staring at Zhong Li with a solemn expression, as if he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

Zhuo Yumo lowered his eyes, suddenly a little shaken, not knowing whether bringing Zhong Li back was a good thing or a bad thing.

He shook Luo Ting hard, and lied that he was a little tired and wanted to go into the house to have a rest.Luo Ting blinked, saw that his lover was lying, but didn't expose it, and took his hand cooperatively and walked towards the back door of the house.They entered the house, Zhuo Yumo moved a chair and sat on the balcony, resting his stomach on one hand, watching Zhong Li from a distance who was still in a trance.

"You still have some feelings for him, right?" He suddenly said to Luo Ting.

He could see it.

Although Luo Ting acted extremely indifferent and was quite wary of Zhong Li, some small actions could not deceive anyone.He just walked into the flower garden and saw Luo Ting silently kicking away the stones at Zhong Li's feet, as if he was afraid that he would trip over.Zhong Li's mental state is very unstable now, and he looks like a child around Luo Ting, maybe he will really be tripped.

Zhuo Yumo had only ever seen Luo Ting treat him so carefully.

And Luo Ting beside him didn't speak.

As long as he said it, it was equivalent to admitting it.

And it is equivalent to admitting the fact that he and Zhong Muben are the same person.

Zhuo Yumo was not surprised by Luo Ting's silence, and he didn't continue to ask, but just looked at Zhong Li quietly.It wasn't until the nurse came and he explained something that he left with Luo Ting.

After arriving home, he immediately contacted Dr. Bai and asked if she was free tomorrow.

"I have seen Zhong Li. The situation is not very good. We temporarily hired two nurses for him. If you have time tomorrow, I would like to take you there to see him first to understand the general situation. I have your professional advice. You might as well make other plans.”

Doctor Bai made an appointment with him to meet Zhong Li the next morning.

She was busy until late that day, and went to bed after taking a shower when she got home.The phone rang early the next morning, and she took out the phone from under the pillow in a daze to answer the call——

"Doctor Bai, I'm Zhuo Yumo, have you gotten up yet? Something seems to be wrong, we have to hurry over there."

Doctor Bai rubbed his hair and still couldn't figure out the situation, then Zhuo Yumo sent a few photos.

She opened it, and immediately woke up, and her expression became serious in an instant.
