Do not lie to me

When Zhou Yuan arrived at the bar, a familiar person came up and knocked on the bar, "Have a Bloody Mary." After speaking, she turned her back and leaned on the bar, her eyes went straight to the venue.The bartender just threw the coaster in her hand, put down the wine and asked her, "Drinking a glass of wine like this is not so easy to fish for. With your lipstick, you look like you are going to swallow people alive."

Zhou Yuan's eyes had already scanned the arena, and when she saw someone in the corner, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she took a sip after taking the wine, "Who says I'm here to catch a kid?"

"Then what are you here for? Just drinking here?" The bartender pointed to the crowds of men and women in the venue and said, "This place is not a quiet place."

Zhou Yuan smiled, leaned on the bar counter and propped her chin to look at the person in the corner, and after confirming that the person was deliberately hiding in the dark, frustrated and drunk, she lowered her neckline, "You're right, how can there be innocent people in this place? Those who come to drink." After speaking, she stood up, picked up her glass of wine, twisted her waist and walked over.

When Shen Ao noticed that someone was sitting next to him, he ignored it. He didn't mind sex/things to vent after getting drunk for a while, as long as the other party could bear his bad temper at the moment.

The person sitting down did not speak for a long time, as if they were taking a seat to drink together. Shen Ao gradually became a little drunk, and his head became less and less clear-headed. Looking at the lingering men and women in the bar, his heart was empty and lonely. I am so lonely that I want to ask a stranger, "What is it to love someone? Who decides whether it is wrong or right, good or bad?"

No one had ever taught him this kind of thing, neither by his parents nor by his school teachers.Everyone he saw since he was a child was emotionally restrained and ashamed to say love.But Shen Ao hates this, he can't learn to do this, he gets angry when he sees it, and when he gets angry, he throws his fist at these people.

He doesn't know how to regulate emotions. He is different from ordinary people, so he also thinks that he should not be ashamed to say love like ordinary people, but why do people always jump out and say that his love is wrong?From the first one, his tutor jumped out to accuse him of drowning the starling, and now Shang Xuechen jumped out to advise him to let Qi Liang go.Why do you have to say you are wrong?Why do they think they are right?Is it just because the division of right and wrong in this world always depends on the decision of the majority?So it's all wrong for a rare person like him.

Only the love of ordinary people is right, and he is wrong no matter what.Shen Ao thought about whether he was really wrong, especially when he saw Qi Liang's tears, he even began to reflect.But Qi Liang was not like this before. When everyone pointed out his abnormality and said he was wrong, only Qi Liang told him that he was bad, and that wrong should exist.There is right and there is wrong in this world, and there is good and there is bad.Then why, why did Qi Liang leave now?Shen Ao thought for a whole night and still couldn't figure it out.

Now Shen Ao is still thinking about this question, from himself to his family environment.Is there anything different about his family?It seems to have.I didn't notice it before, and I gradually discovered the strangeness when I grew up.But others never knew about it, and occasionally praised his parents for their love.When it comes to his parents, they are the most normal in the eyes of outsiders. They treat people normally, and they follow the trend in educating their children.In particular, his family's conditions are not bad, so don't worry too much, as long as he invites a tutor every year, he will be responsible.

In this place, parents generally only supervise their studies and indulge their personalities. They only think that the external environment forms a personality. They only ensure material abundance but do not care about spiritual poverty.Shen Ao was arrogant and self-indulgent since he was a child, and his material wealth in life was so rich that he squeezed out his spiritual zone. He never looked at himself, and such self-seeking troubles were not as straightforward as fisting. After meeting Qi Liang, He occasionally introspects because he really doesn't understand love, but after much deliberation, he can't come up with a result.Then when he looked back and saw his father beating his mother with his fist raised, he realized that he loved Qi Liang.Everything he did with Qiliang was due to heredity.The violent impulse was inherited from his father, and the willingness to be abused was inherited from his mother. He thought that even if there would be a family in the future, he would just copy his parents' life style, so he gave Qi Liang his violent impulse, and his willingness to be abused. He also gave it to Qi Liang, he had never seen an ordinary family, he only knew to give Qi Liang what he had learned from his parents, it seemed that a second home was copied in this way.However, Qi Liang told him to stop here.

Why call stop?In his home, neither his father nor his mother told him to stop, and he would always be in the same scene when he came home. He felt that as long as he didn't tell him to stop, they would still be a harmonious family. His parents would grow old together like this, and others would I envy their golden wedding, and envy the long-term harmony between husband and wife.He will always be "in love" with Qi Liang in this way, whether it is his parents, or he and Qi Liang will be a happy family.

But Qi Liang longed for a new, new start, a new life.Shen Ao understood that what he wanted to get rid of was to get rid of himself, to get rid of himself, the mistakes in his life.

Zhou Yuan smiled and sipped her wine, moistening her throat for her speech, "Of course to love someone is to be with him all the time, and not let him see other people."

Don't let him see other people?Shen Ao thought of Shang Xuechen, that's right, it was because of this person who always stood on the right commanding heights to guide Qi Liang, always persuading him to start over, and it was clear that he had always been in a harmonious way of getting along before. Because he is all because of Shang Xuechen!Qi Liang would want to get rid of himself.

"You have to know that the human heart is as restless as the human feet. If a person has feet, he will walk around non-stop, and if a person has a heart, he will be half-hearted. So in addition to isolating the existence of this third party, you have to prevent your lover from walking anywhere else. , you have to make his heart no longer half-hearted."

It turned out to be like this, Shen Ao raised his head, first he saw the woman next to him open the neckline, then he looked up and saw her red lips opening and closing, he shook his head to clear his sight, the woman's face was slightly clearer, Shen Ao smiled and raised his hand to her. Wine glass, "You're right."

He raised his head and drank the wine, then slammed the glass on the table.Zhou Yuan looked at the shattered wine glass on the table and the blood-dripping hand on the glass, and shook the wine in her hand indifferently.When she heard Shen Ao bitterly calling out Shang Xuechen's name, she opened her mouth and smiled.

"do you know?"

Zhou Yuan stopped drinking, raised her eyelids to look at Shen Ao who was smiling and took a new cup to pour herself wine.

"In the past, the first person who said I was wrong was my tutor. When I was eight years old, he saw me drown the starling and angrily accused me of being wrong."

"and then?"

"Then?" Shen Ao smiled and took a sip of wine, "I loosened the brakes in his car, and he had an accident and damaged his spine. Do you think I did it wrong?"

"How could it be?" Zhou Yuan smiled and stretched out her hand, touching the wine glass in Shen Ao's blood-drenched hand with her wine glass, "Who can judge other people's right or wrong at will? No one is qualified!"

"You are right! Shang Xuechen is not qualified!"

Shang Xuechen lay on Ji Shuping's shoulder with a tired face.Ji Shuping carried him into the room, just as he was about to bend over to put him down when he got to the bed, Shang Xuechen shook his head, pointed to the window sill, "I want to sit on it and watch the stars."

Ji Shuping glanced back at the high window sill in the room, and advised him, "Let's have a good sleep."

Shang Xuechen only shook his head on his shoulder.Ji Shuping sighed, reached out and took the pillow at the head of the bed, turned and walked to the window sill.Wait until the window sill is covered with pillows before putting people on it.Shang Xuechen wrinkled his face and propped himself up a little, leaned against the wall and turned his head to look out of the window, saying with some disappointment, "So you can't see stars in the city."

"Go back to bed and rest now, okay?"

Shang Xuechen looked up and didn't respond to Ji Shuping's words.Ji Shuping just sighed and turned around and said, "I'll get some water to wipe your body." Shang Xuechen held him back, "Don't go, stay here with me for a while."

Ji Shuping glanced at him, and reached out to push his hand away.Shang Xuechen gripped him tighter.Ji Shuping looked up at him and explained, "I'm not leaving. You're sitting on the window sill and it's windy, so I'll get you a quilt to wrap you up."

After hearing this, Shang Xuechen still didn't let go, he just said, "Don't go."

Ji Shuping had no choice but to go up to the window sill, took off his suit to cover him up and hugged him tightly from behind, leaned against the window sill with him and looked up at the starless sky outside.

Shang Xuechen nestled in the arms of the person behind him, just stared out of the window blankly. After a long silence, he reached out to touch the window glass in front of him and said, "I have stayed in this city for many years. From birth to now , never left, until now at this age."

"Well, then what?"

Then?Shang Xuechen lowered his hands and did not speak.But he was thinking in his heart, I never left, but she never wanted to come to look for me.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ji Shuping pressed his cheek and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shang Xuechen still didn't answer.Ji Shuping stretched his hand around his chest and held the hand he just dropped, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

"Yes. Zhou Yuan is Wen Ting's older sister. Aunt Chen took away only one of her two daughters after divorce. Wen Ting's original name was Zhou Ting, but her mother changed her surname after she remarried."

Ji Shuping was not surprised when he heard that, but asked him, "Is there anything else? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Shang Xuechen lowered his eyelashes, he didn't know what to say.How can I say that Mrs. Shao just now, the calm Mrs. Shao in front of him is my own mother?Shang Xuechen thought for a while but still couldn't speak directly, but just avoided the topic, "Why aren't you surprised at what I told you?"

"Because I already know."

"You know? When?"

"On the day of Brother Zhou's wedding. I saw a photo in the drawer of Zhou Yuan's desk. It was a family portrait. She and Wen Ting stood behind their parents with their heads together and smiling. Zhou Yuan erased all her background information. , Aunt Chen hasn’t been erased, just find someone to investigate and add this photo and you’ll know.”

"Why didn't you tell me right away?"

"Because of Wen Ting's matter, you will have a headache."

Shang Xuechen trembled his eyelashes, and did not tell Ji Shuping the other part of the truth he knew, "What else? What else do you know?"

"Wen Fu is dead."

"Dead?" Shang Xuechen, who was not emotionally fluctuating, was a little surprised, "Why did you die suddenly?"

"Deliberate murder. Wen Fu was slashed with a knife and died of excessive blood loss. But the crime scene was cleaned up and there was no blood splatter, so the police suspected that Aunt Chen was a deliberate murder."

"It's not Aunt Chen." Shang Xuechen opened his mouth slowly, "I'll follow you to the kitchen, and there isn't even a knife there."

"Well, I also know it's not Aunt Chen. But the police didn't find the murder weapon. They suspect that Aunt Chen was guilty of a crime and disposed of all the knives in the kitchen."

Shang Xuechen looked at the two figures reflected on the window and asked him, "What is the reason why you are definitely not Aunt Chen who killed someone?"

"I can know the details because I asked someone to read the on-site records. But there is also a DNA test record that was not listed as evidence."

"Why? What is that?"

"It's nails, nails found at the scene. They were deliberately suppressed and not listed as evidence."

"Is it Aunt Chen's? Or Wenfu's?"

"neither."

Shang Xuechen looked at the brightly lit city outside, "Whose would it belong to?"

Ji Shuping tightened his arms and hugged him tightly, "Don't think about it."

Shang Xuechen put his arm around his own, "I'm sorry just now. I shouldn't provoke you with the past."

"It's okay. Don't do this again in the future. Does it hurt down there?"

Shang Xuechen stared blankly at the night scene outside and said, "It hurts."

Ji Shuping reached out and rubbed his heart, "Is this better?"

Shang Xuechen's tears were rolling again, "Well, it's much better."

"Then I'll take you to bed and sleep."

Shang Xuechen looked out the window and didn't speak.Ji Shuping reached out to hug him, but Shang Xuechen grabbed his hand to keep him from moving.Ji Shuping could only tell him cruelly, "No matter how you look at it, what remains the same remains the same. This city has remained the same for so many years, and so have the people."

Only then did Shang Xuechen let go, and Ji Shuping hugged him and wrapped him tightly in a quilt, "Sleep well. I will watch over you. If you feel thirsty at night, just call me. If it hurts, just tell me." , I'll call someone over."

"Yeah." Shang Xuechen just lay there looking at the ceiling, "Where are my clothes?"

"Where did you hide your clothes?"

"In the fire box next to the back kitchen."

Ji Shuping tucked the quilt for him, "I'll find someone to get it."

"There's still a can of Coke in there. I haven't had a drink yet."

"Okay. I'll find someone to bring back Coke for you too." Ji Shuping got up and kissed him on the forehead, "As long as you don't have a fever tomorrow morning, I'll ask the hotel to bring over your favorite food. Sleep well now, and I'll send you off tomorrow go back."

"Shuping." Shang Xuechen stretched out a hand from under the quilt, and Ji Shuping quickly reached out to hold it, "What's wrong? What do you think?"

"I want to eat beef tomorrow morning..."

Ji Shuping clenched his hand and asked, "Do you want beef noodles?"

Shang Xuechen shook his head numbly, "No. I want to eat Xiaolongbao, white sugar cake, fried liver, leek box with tofu brain, and glutinous rice balls, and, and..."

"Okay, I'll give you whatever you want."

"As long as it's not beef noodles, I want to eat it."

Ji Shuping reached out and touched his forehead, "Okay." After hearing this, Shang Xuechen turned to look at Ji Shuping, "Ji Shuping, I'm in so much pain."

Ji Shuping anxiously wanted to examine him, "Where does it hurt? Do you want me to find a doctor for you?"

"Everywhere hurts, you hold me, hold me and don't go away."

"Okay." Ji Shuping helped him up, leaned against the head of the bed, and let Shang Xuechen lean against him.He kept rubbing Shang Xuechen's arm and asked, "How about this?"

"It's much better to lean on you. Why don't you go tonight? Just let me lean on you."

"Okay, I won't go." Ji Shuping circled around tightly, "I will never leave you alone."

Shang Xuechen closed his eyes, raised his little finger in front of him, "pull the hook."

Just as Ji Shuping was about to reach out to hook his little finger, Shang Xuechen lowered his hand, "Is this useful? People who change their minds will still leave."

"It's useful." Ji Shuping grabbed his hand, pulled out his little finger and wrapped it around it, "If I say no, it won't. The hook cannot be changed for 100 years."

Shang Xuechen smiled weakly, "You really haven't changed. You are still the same as when you were a child." His voice gradually became weaker, and he just fell asleep leaning on Ji Shuping.Ji Shuping sat on the head of the bed with his eyes open and hugged him tightly until midnight before reaching out to detect Shang Xuechen's breath.

After confirming that Shang Xuechen had fallen asleep, he carefully helped him to lie down, went to fetch water, wiped his body, checked him, and applied ointment.After doing this, I kept watch all night, checking his body temperature all the time, for fear that he would have a fever in the middle of the night.Shang Xuechen slept surprisingly deeply, he just lay upright like this, he didn't always turn over dishonestly when he slept like before, and he didn't talk in his dreams or grind his teeth for a while, he just slept peacefully and steadily.Ji Shuping was a little worried, but he could only hold on like this.

When Shang Xuechen woke up in the morning, Ji Shuping was not in the room.When he sat up, he saw his clothes on the bedside and the coke he bought yesterday that he didn't have time to drink.Shang Xuechen took the Coke and opened it and was about to drink it. The Coke was let out all night and he was not angry. When he opened it, there was a listless "puff", just like this person.

After hearing the listless sound of Coke, Shang Xuechen lost the desire/desire to drink, and just sat on the edge of the bed with the Coke in a daze.Ji Shuping came in with a towel, and saw Shang Xuechen who was sitting by the bed with a Coke in his hand, and immediately came over to snatch the Coke from him.Shang Xuechen didn't make much movement, he didn't even lift his head when Ji Shuping snatched the Coke from him.

Ji Shuping put the Coke on the bedside, picked up the clothes and put them on Shang Xuechen's lap, "Breakfast is ready, can you change your clothes and have breakfast and drink later?" He then reached out to touch Shang Xuechen Xuechen's forehead, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

Shang Xuechen just lowered his head and didn't speak, Ji Shuping squatted down/body up and tried to joke with him, "I got a little angry when I got up today." He knew that Shang Xuechen wouldn't react, but he would rather just be He was pissing himself off as usual.

Ji Shuping helped him change his clothes, and checked his injuries by the way. Shang Xuechen sat limply, letting Ji Shuping manipulate him like a person made of soft clay.After changing the clothes for him, Ji Shuping resisted the urge to sigh, he didn't dare to sigh, he didn't dare to show a little discouragement in front of Shang Xuechen, for fear that the person who has become so soft now would hear it and become even worse. Get frustrated.Just smiled and lifted him up from the bed and told him, "It's all what you want to eat."

Shang Xuechen was helped to the dining table, Ji Shuping pulled a chair for him to sit down, smiled and took a drawer of steamed buns and put them in front of him, "Eat this first, it's still hot."

Shang Xuechen looked up at the table full of breakfast, and Ji Shuping told him, "This hotel hired a chef who can make Cantonese morning tea. What do you like to eat? Shrimp dumplings or golden cake? Or porridge first?" Ji Shuping While talking, he reached out to pick up a spoon to serve the porridge, "There is also Cantonese special boat porridge. Would you like to try it?"

"What about the beef noodles? Mom, I am obedient, why didn't I make beef noodles for me to eat?"

Ji Shuping's spoon fell into the bowl and just splashed on his sleeve, he settled down and collected his expression before answering Shang Xuechen's words, "I'm too busy in the morning to make it, or you try fried rice noodles? "

Shang Xuechen just lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry."

When Ji Shuping heard it, he brought a chopstick of rice noodles to his mouth, but accidentally poked Shang Xuechen's mouth with trembling hand, "Taste it."

Shang Xuechen lowered his head and opened his mouth, bit the chopsticks and swallowed the rice noodles without chewing.Ji Shuping frowned, but he didn't talk about him like he usually does. He removed the rice noodles and went to serve porridge, at least porridge is easier to swallow.Ji Shuping fed him spoon by spoon, Shang Xuechen ate mouthful, and the two finished their breakfast in such a quiet manner.
