Do not lie to me

Ji Shuping was woken up by the sun, the curtains in the room were not drawn, and the sun was high, the sun was so hot that it directly woke up the exhausted people.Ji Shuping sat on the ground and lay on the edge of the bed. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and stretched out his hand to touch it.After not touching anything, he immediately looked up, and the bed was empty.

"Xuechen? Shang Xuechen?" Ji Shuping supported the edge of the bed and stood up. It was a bit difficult to move a step when he got up, but he still hurried out of the room and went downstairs.While going downstairs, he called someone, "Shang Xuechen, where are you?"

No one responded on the first floor, Ji Shuping became flustered.I went downstairs to the living room to check but found no trace of anyone, and went directly to the bathroom next to it. I searched up and down from the bathroom to the underground swimming pool, but I didn't see anyone.Ji Shuping returned to the living room, looked at the door that he had kicked down last night, and wondered if he had left?

Thinking of this, he suddenly became impatient, grabbed the car keys and was about to go out.As soon as he took a step towards the door, he heard movement in the kitchen.Ji Shuping turned his head and glanced at the kitchen, then walked lightly towards the kitchen.There was another movement, like the sound of rolling cans, Ji Shuping entered the kitchen and saw no one, but saw the opened refrigerator first.

He walked around the bar and saw the beer cans scattered all over the floor, and walked a little further before he saw Shang Xuechen sitting on the ground leaning on the cabinet.Shang Xuechen didn't raise his head when he heard the footsteps, and was about to open a new can of beer, when Ji Shuping hurried over to grab the beer in his hand, the movement was too big, and the empty beer cans scattered all over the place rolled up again sounded.

Ji Shuping glanced at the beer cans rolling around on the ground, it turned out that he had already drunk a lot.Looking back at Shang Xuechen again, he said, "You can't drink any more."

Shang Xuechen laughed, and hiccupped resistively, a very long hiccup, the pungent smell of wine seemed to be intentional.Ji Shuping reached through his armpit to lift him up from the ground, but Shang Xuechen hid himself and just sat on the ground without saying a word.Ji Shuping had no choice but to reach out and touch his forehead to confirm that his fever had subsided, then took his hand and asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?"

Shang Xuechen didn't speak.

"I'll make you breakfast. What would you like to eat? Wontons, bean paste buns or beef noodles?"

Shang Xuechen didn't respond to his words at first, but turned his head to look at him when he heard the beef noodles, and finally said the first sentence to him this morning, "Let my brother go."

Ji Shuping lowered his head.Shang Xuechen knew what he meant by not wanting to, so he stood up while supporting the cupboard, and staggered out.Ji Shuping stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"Go find a way to get my brother out."

"No, you can't go! You're in a terrible state!"

Shang Xuechen glanced at him indifferently, bypassed him and continued walking outside.Ji Shuping chased him out and stopped him in the living room.Shang Xuechen glanced at him impatiently, turned around and sat on the sofa in the living room, "Okay, then I won't go, you let my brother go."

"Xuechen." Ji Shuping walked in front of him, "You have to trust me, everything I do has my own intentions."

Shang Xuechen didn't want to hear him describe his good intentions, so he got up to avoid him and walked upstairs.Ji Shuping had no choice but to follow him upstairs.Shang Xuechen went to the room and sat down by the bed, folded his arms and said, "I won't go, you let my brother go!"

"Shang Xuechen, listen to me."

Shang Xuechen got up from the bed again, and Ji Shuping walked in front of him to block his way.Shang Xuechen saw that his way was blocked, and Ji Shuping wanted to defend himself again, so he covered his ears with his hands, "I won't listen! I just want you to let my brother go!" Seeing that Ji Shuping was still blocking him, he simply turned around and pulled him away. Open the curtain on the wall and go up to the attic.

Ji Shuping continued to follow him.Seeing him go up to the attic and sit down with his legs crossed in the corner, cover his ears as soon as he gets close and yell, "I won't listen, I won't listen to anything. If you don't let me go, I'll just stay here Don't go down, unless you let my brother go!"

Ji Shuping had no choice but to say first, "Why don't we eat something first?"

Shang Xuechen glanced at him, didn't get up, turned around, and fell facing the corner, still covering his ears.Ji Shuping had no choice but to go downstairs to prepare some food for him and bring it up.Hearing that the person had left, Shang Xuechen turned his head and took a look. After confirming that the person had really left, he turned his head back, wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, bent his legs and shrank back to the corner of the wall.

Ji Shuping went downstairs to the kitchen, saw the mess in the kitchen, took the trash can and squatted down/body up, picked up the empty cans one by one and threw them into the trash can.Stopping after picking up two hands, Ji Shuping stared blankly at the empty soda cans all over the place, and only comforted himself, "It's okay, it's okay. As long as people are okay."

Shang Xuechen felt a little pain in his stomach, and he curled up like a shrimp in the corner because of the pain.When he got up this morning and saw Ji Shuping laying beside him, it was not without soft heart, but more heartache, unspeakable heartache, so painful that he didn't know what to do, he had to flee downstairs in a hurry, he had already forgotten that he was quitting alcohol , I took out all the wine in the refrigerator, opened one can after another and drank it all.

When he drank his mind into a trance, he began to make some impossible assumptions, assuming that he didn't meet Ji Shuping in the restaurant at the beginning, so that he would not be summoned by the chairman.Maybe she won't know Shao Ji either, so she will never recognize Mrs. Shao.But at the end of the hypothesis, he found that it was not the beginning of a good hypothesis if he did not meet Ji Shuping.If he hadn't met Ji Shuping, his life would have been muddled. If he hadn't met Ji Shuping, he might have asked Qi Liang to approach Ji Shuping according to Zhou Yuan's original plan.If so, Shang Xuechen was even more unhappy and heartbroken, so he poured more wine into his stomach.

Now the alcohol in his stomach was kicking back, his stomach convulsing and tormenting him.He hasn't felt so sad for a long time, after all his stomach has been taken care of by Ji Shuping for so long.The stomach pain made him curl up even more, his knees were already on the wall, his neck was bent so that his face was pressed against his chest, and his hands were covering his stomach, but it didn't work.

Hearing the sound of footsteps going upstairs, he immediately forced himself to stretch out, pretending to lie calmly on the ground facing the wall, but his back was already dripping with cold sweat.

Ji Shuping put down the plate in his hand, and as soon as he put down Shang Xuechen who was lying with his eyes closed, he smelled the aroma of food, and then his stomach twitched twice, Ji Shuping touched his shoulder, and Shang Xuechen shook in anger.

"Let's eat something first, I made sugar porridge."

Shang Xuechen was still lying down and didn't respond, Ji Shuping sighed and got up, "I'm going away. You drink the porridge as I go away." After speaking, he got up and wanted to go, but within two steps, he heard the sound of something falling to the ground .Ji Shuping turned around to look, and what he saw was the overturned porridge bowl, and the sticky and steaming sugar porridge was scattered all over the floor.Shang Xuechen was still lying on the ground facing the wall, motionless.

"No matter what, you can't..." Ji Shuping stopped talking, tried hard to hold back the anger that was about to burst from his throat, and opened his mouth when he felt calmer and could speak peacefully, "No matter what you You can’t make fun of your own body either.”

The person lying down didn't respond, and he didn't even open his mouth to refute.

Ji Shuping finally couldn't help but sighed, "What do you want me to do?"

"As long as you let my brother go."

"This is impossible."

Shang Xuechen opened his eyes, and had the urge to get up from the ground to question Ji Shuping, but the stomachache woke him up and let him know why, it was because Xu Xueshi would threaten him when he came out.

Ji Shuping somewhat regretted that he had spoken too decisively. Although he didn't want Monk Xuechen to use those tricky speaking skills, but now that he was in such a situation, he had no other choice but to be more tactful, "I'll bring you another bowl of porridge."

"I will not eat!"

Ji Shuping frowned, and when he didn't know what to do, he accidentally swept to the piano next to him, because he was only concerned about Shang Xuechen, and he didn't care about such a big object in front of him.Seeing the piano, Ji Shuping raised his eyebrows a little. He remembered that Shang Xuechen liked to listen to himself playing the piano, so he tentatively asked the person lying on the ground, "Don't you like listening to me play the piano? How about I play the piano for you?" ?”

Hearing this sentence, Shang Xuechen clenched the corners of his mouth, and his nose felt sore. He used to think that Ji Shuping knew everything, no matter how he looked at it, he was amazing.Now I find that Ji Shuping is really powerful, he can calculate anything.

Ji Shuping didn't hear Shang Xuechen's answer, but he clearly saw Shang Xuechen's ears move.Without waiting for his answer, he sat down in front of the piano bench, opened the piano cover, went down and pressed a row of keys, and said with a smile, "Do you still remember that we were sitting together and playing the piano?"

Shang Xuechen heard a series of sounds and closed his eyes, not wanting to be led by Ji Shuping to think of the scene at that time.

Ji Shuping didn't get annoyed when he didn't hear any response, so he went down and played the piano, the same one, "You said you liked this one very much, so you went to check the meaning. I also sang it for you." Ji Shuping played while playing Talking, "Yes, I knew about Mrs. Shao's relationship with you early on. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear it. In fact, you are more angry than what happened to your brother because I knew about you a long time ago. It's about the relationship with Mrs. Shao."

The piano was smashed with a loud noise. It was Shang Xuechen who suddenly got up from the ground and pushed down the piano cover with force, almost pinching Ji Shuping's hand.Ji Shuping looked down at his red nails rubbed by the piano cover, and listened to the lingering sound of the piano after it was smashed hard. He looked up at Shang Xuechen who was angry, and asked him, "If my hand is pressed, Will your heart ache?"

Shang Xuechen glanced at Ji Shuping's blue nails at the moment, gritted his teeth and said, "No. Don't bully me with good words, you already know her relationship with me, it's not as nice as you said , why worry that I can't bear it. Not at all! You are clearly waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to use me to severely injure Shaw Brothers!"

"It's not like this!" Ji Shuping got up from the piano bench, and stretched out his hand to hug Shang Xuechen, but Shang Xuechen backed away from his hand, looked at him and asked, "If you didn't meet me in the first place. It's another shrewd person, will you still chase him like I did? Will you also play the piano for him? "

Ji Shuping lowered his hands and did not speak.

Shang Xuechen smiled, "There is only one thing to say to me, and only me to say anything to me. From the very beginning, you don't have to be me. You are all like this, it's not like I have to be, to be/lover is like this, to be a son That's the same! Hahahahahaha—”

Seeing his smile with tears on his cheeks, Ji Shuping wanted to step forward and hug him.Shang Xuechen waved his arms and stepped back, "Go away! Go away!" He stepped back to the corner and stepped on the broken porridge bowl, bent down to pick up the pieces and threw them at Ji Shuping, "Go away , you go! You all stay away from me!"

Ji Shuping raised his hands and turned his head to avoid the fragments thrown towards him. When he put down his hands and looked again, he saw Shang Xuechen grasping the bleeding hand of the fragments. Shang Xuechen saw him stepping forward with the fragment and aiming at his neck to cut it, Shang Xuechen still yelled, "Get out of here, get out of here!"

The hand holding the fragments was bleeding continuously, dripping directly to the ground, Ji Shuping backed away from Shang Xuechen's attack, watching his bleeding hand and said in a compromise, "Okay, I'll go, I'll go!"

Sobbing, Shang Xuechen held the fragments with both hands, backed up against the wall and squatted down slowly, his body trembling, "Go away, go away."

When Ji Shuping went downstairs, he looked back at him anxiously, and saw that Shang Xuechen was vomiting badly.He stopped, and Shang Xuechen, who was squatting against the wall, saw him stop, and immediately waved the fragments in his hand and shouted, "Let's go!" Ji Shuping had no choice but to turn around and go downstairs.

There was no one else in the attic, and the floor was covered with porridge that had been trampled to sticky black. The smell in the air was not very pleasant, but a bitter and sour smell, which was the smell of bile vomited out by Shang Xuechen.He was sitting in the filthiest corner, holding the sharp shards in his hand, and just staring blankly at the piano.

Ji Shuping came out of the attic, his mind was full of Shang Xuechen's clenched bloody hand, and the image of him just throwing up.The more Ji Shuping thought about it, the more worried he became, and he went up to the attic again with the medicine box left by Yang Lian.

Shang Xuechen looked at the piano trembling with cold sweat, and murmured in a low voice, "Liars, they are all liars." There was a sound, and Shang Xuechen trembled in shock / Turned his body to look back, he didn't see anyone, only There was a medical box at the top of the stairs. He looked down and opened his hands, and saw the dried blood on his cut hand. He looked up again at the medical box at the top of the stairs.

Ji Shuping stood worriedly at the corner of the stairs, he didn't dare to poke his head to look, for fear that Shang Xuechen would be emotionally unstable after seeing him, so he could only hide here and listen to the movement upstairs while holding his breath.There were footsteps coming towards the stairs, Ji Shuping pursed his lips nervously, and then the floor creaked, as if something had been lifted.He let out a sigh of relief when he heard footsteps leaving.

It's just that before the breath was exhausted, I heard the footsteps of "Tom tom tom" returning.Before Ji Shuping could react, the medical box fell from the top of his head following Shang Xuechen's voice, "Go away!"

The box didn't hit his head, Ji Shuping moved a little bit to look at the smashed medical box on the ground, all kinds of medicines and tools inside rolled down one after another.Ji Shuping looked up, only to see a pair of feet retracted quickly.He sighed, knelt down/body up to pick up the scattered things one by one, turned and left.

Shang Xuechen sat on the ground and listened to the movement at the corner of the stairs. He leaned out to look down after the people left, and happened to see a corner of his clothes when he turned around.He reached out and grabbed the railing and leaned out his entire upper body. The person had already left, and no matter how much his body was hanging out, he couldn't see it anymore.

He retracted his body and hugged his legs, "It shouldn't have hit him. No, you can't care about him. No one can care, and I don't want anyone to care." He sat with his legs crossed like this, buried his head between his legs , muttering in a low voice.

"The duck eggs in the grass nest were cracked one by one, and the young ones were chirping and looking at the new world outside the shell. Only one egg remained silent..."

Shang Xuechen raised his head from between his legs, grasped the railing tightly and leaned out to look down. He saw Ji Shuping sitting on the steps, with the fairy tale book he bought called The Ugly Duckling spread out on his knees.

"At last the egg cracked, and the newborn baby screamed and crawled out. He was big and ugly. When the mother duck saw him, she was frightened and said that he was big and ugly. She couldn't believe it..."

Shang Xuechen held his head on the railing and listened. Ji Shuping's voice was not in a hurry, and even when he was telling the story, his tone didn't fluctuate with emotion, it was just peaceful.When he heard the words "big and ugly" from Ji Shuping's mouth, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ji Shuping heard the laughter above his head, looked up, and happened to meet Shang Xuechen who was poking his head out.Shang Xuechen saw him raised his head and quickly retracted his body, Ji Shuping also laughed when he saw the person who hurriedly hid back, and turned back to continue reading the fairy tale book in his hand.

"He is now very happy about the misfortunes and troubles he has suffered in the past. He now clearly realizes that happiness and beauty are beckoning to him. Many whooper swans are swimming around him, and the children running from the garden point to him and say, Look at the new beautiful swan."

Shang Xuechen listened with his legs crossed, and said with his head down, "He's not happy, happiness and happiness don't belong to him." Then he looked down to see the filth on his clothes when he vomited, "He's still ugly."

"But you are beautiful in my heart." Ji Shuping answered him like this, and only the word "liar" came from the attic.

Ji Shuping sat on the steps and closed the storybook, "What I said is true." As soon as he finished speaking, something was thrown down, not as hard as before, but just lightly, as if he had some scruples, The bloody fragment bounced a few steps and landed at Ji Shuping's feet.

Ji Shuping looked at the blood-stained fragments at his feet, and asked cautiously, "Is your hand alright?"

"Go away!" The words were still strong.Ji Shuping really got up and went downstairs with the storybook in his arms.

When Shang Xuechen heard the sound of going downstairs, he grabbed the railing and looked down again.Seeing the empty stairs, he suddenly sniffed his nose.He turned around and sat on the floor, still looking up at the piano, "If it's for use, there's no need to say so many nice things to me."

It was quiet again in the attic. Shang Xuechen looked at the piano for a long time, watching the dust flying in the light cast by the skylight above his head fall on the piano little by little. He kept watching, and saw that the light gradually became thinner, and then the black cloth covered the attic. Gradually shrouded in darkness.

Time is still passing, but he is in a daze. He doesn't know when it is now and how old he should be. When he thinks about it carefully, it seems that the past years were in vain, as if he should not have been born.It was already very dark, and he was tired and closed his eyes, and lowered his head.

His forehead was on his knees, and it was still uncomfortable to have nothing in his stomach, but he didn't care anymore. The silence in the attic made him feel calm. He closed his eyes and reached out to grope around, and finally found a piece of broken bowl on the ground.

Shang Xuechen tightly grasped the broken bowl piece, which just happened to be cut on his palm, and the wound that had been congealed opened again. He grabbed the piece and sent it to the other wrist. The sharp end of the piece was hanging on the beating pulse. superior.

There was a small voice, Shang Xuechen opened his eyes, looked up and looked around to check if it was not his hallucination.There is nothing around, only the piano in front of me.But the piano cover was tightly closed, and the piano bench was empty, and no one was playing.

But the sound was still there, Shang Xuechen stood up, staggered to the piano, reached out and touched the cover of the piano to make sure it wasn't the piano that was ringing.He glanced back at the stairs, and it seemed to be coming from under the stairs.

Shang Xuechen pursed his dry lips, squeezed the fragments in his hands, and thought about finding out.He walked towards the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs, but there was no one at the corner of the stairs.The sound came from a lower place, Shang Xuechen lifted his foot down the stairs, and when he reached the corner of the stairs, he finally saw it. He saw Ji Shuping standing in front of the door, and what was ringing in his hand was the music box he had given him back then. .

Ji Shuping looked up at the tearful person standing at the corner of the stairs, looked down and saw the sharp shards tightly held in his hands.Ji Shuping took two tentative steps forward, seeing that the person standing at the corner of the stairs did not respond, so he boldly stepped forward, stepped on two steps, and stood in front of Shang Xuechen.

Shang Xuechen looked down at the music box ringing in his hand, and Ji Shuping stretched out his hand, "Remember, you made my wish come true, you can't give up halfway."

Shang Xuechen raised his eyelids to look at the person in front of him, reached out and touched his cheek, Ji Shuping raised his hand and wiped away the tears hanging on his chin with the back of his hand.Shang Xuechen touched his cheek, remembering the wish he had given him, life seemed to have become meaningful from that moment on.Ji Shuping took his hand touching his cheek, put the music box in his palm, took his other hand, took the fragment he was holding on to, and led him, saying, "Let's go down." Bar."

Shang Xuechen nodded.
