The dim light flickered a few times, and Bai Yi saw the man standing in front of him clearly. Unlike the previous quick glance, he saw very clearly this time.

Zhang Wusheng has a fierce look. His nose is always red due to his drinking all the year round. It is a standard rosacea. Years and alcohol have made him sloppy and ugly, and he smells like wine, and maybe something else.

"New here?" As soon as Zhang Wu spoke, the smell of alcohol wafted from his mouth.

Bai Yi smiled and handed over the cigarette.

When Zhang Wu reached out to pick it up, he only had the whole pack of cigarettes in his eyes. He sneered and said, "You're soft? Are you still renting this kind of house if you have money?"

Bai Yi handed over the whole pack of cigarettes with ease: "My name is Bai Yi, and your surname is Zhang, right?"

Zhang Wu became impatient: "What about supper and wine?"

Alcohol is his second life, he is not polite to Boyi at all, he urges him confidently.

Bai Yi returned to the house, took out the bottled beer and stewed vegetables from the refrigerator, Zhang Wu stood waiting for him at the door, and after Bai Yi brought out the wine and dishes, he naturally reached out to take them without saying thank you, let alone inviting Bai Yi to join him .

Zhang Wu was carrying the food and drink, his drooping eyes were bloodshot and cloudy on the swollen bags under his eyes, and his tone was fierce: "I don't care if you rent the house, just don't fucking meddle in your own business, otherwise..."

He cast a gloomy look at Bai Yi, and smiled mockingly at Bai Yi, his yellow-to-black teeth showing from the cracks in his lips.

Taking advantage of it, Zhang Wu turned around and walked back to his house, probably because he had alcohol, he found something to do, and indulged in the world created by alcohol again, and the beating sound just now did not come from the next door.

Boyi sat on the sofa with his legs crossed on the tea table. He raised his head expressionlessly, staring blankly at the chandelier above his head.

Living in such a family, facing such a father, Zhang Li's twisted mentality is almost a matter of course.

How should he approach Zhang Li?

A child who has been abused since he was young may be easy to contact when he was young, but he is now a teenager and will be an adult in a year. His personality has already formed, and he is full of vigilance and hostility towards strangers.

On the first night in the mission world, Boyi fell asleep on the sofa, and when he woke up the next day, he felt uncomfortable all over his body.

He didn't see Zhang Li all day, and only saw Zhang Wu go out in the afternoon. He wrote down the time when Zhang Wu went out, and he also wrote down the time when Zhang Wu came back the night before.

"I'm the one who looks like a pervert." Bai Yi put down his phone and smiled self-deprecatingly.

He's a lot like a voyeur now.

After nightfall, Bai Yi waited for Zhang Li to come back. He clearly knew that an insecure person like Zhang Li would not easily trust a stranger. You can only say hello to him, as long as there is contact, there will be progress.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Zhang Li still hadn't come back.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Zhang Wu came back with half a bottle of white wine in his hand, cursing and not knowing what he was cursing.

At one o'clock in the morning, Bai Yi changed into his clothes, and he was going to buy cigarettes at the canteen downstairs.

Bai Yi put on the short sleeves and slacks he bought during the day, bought two packs of cigarettes and a lighter at the canteen, and was about to go upstairs when he stopped suddenly.

Under the flickering lights, Bai Yi saw a shadow, just around the corner of the first floor, there was no one around at this point, he could only hear the chirping of insects in the nearby grass.

Bai Yi walked towards the shadowed place.

His footsteps were very light, although he knew there were many possibilities, maybe this shadow was just a trash can or a cat, but he subconsciously felt that it was Zhang Li's shadow.

It was crazy to want to complete the task, Bai Yi made a wry smile.

Turning around the base of the wall, Boyi stopped in his tracks. He looked down at the person who was leaning against the wall and fell to the ground. There was a bloody smell that could not be ignored at the tip of his nose.

Zhang Li probably passed out, his head was lowered, and Bai Yi could see the spin on the top of his head.

Bai Yi squatted down slowly, looking at the wounds on Zhang Li's body. There were wounds from knives, and bruises and red marks from sticks. There were bruises and red marks on his arms and legs. He didn't know where his shoes were. The feet are also full of bruises.

How old is Zhang Li?

17 is old.

Bai Yi sighed, he stretched out his hand, trying to wake Zhang Li up.

However, when his fingertips were less than two centimeters away from Zhang Li, the person who should have lost consciousness suddenly raised his head.

Those dark eyes made Bai Yi quickly withdraw his hand in this night.

"Are you okay?" Bai Yi asked softly.

Zhang Li didn't answer, he didn't even have the strength to move his fingers.

And the corner of his mouth was broken. Although the bleeding stopped, there were blood stains on his chin and neck.

Bai Yi: "You don't seem to be able to go home in this situation. Go to my house to treat the wound first. The knife wound can't be healed without resistance."

Zhang Li didn't speak, he seemed to be thinking.

Bai Yi couldn't wait for a reply for a long time, he tentatively reached out and grabbed Zhang Li's arm, Zhang Li didn't refuse.

After all, he was an adult man, and he did not give up fitness after work. Bai Yi put Zhang Li's arm around his shoulders, put one hand around Zhang Li's waist, and stood up vigorously.

Bai Yi: "..."

It doesn't look heavy, why is it so heavy?

Carrying a heavy Zhang Li, going upstairs has become a difficult task. Fortunately, Zhang Li can move himself. If it was all due to Bai Yi, he would have to choose to squat in the corridor with Zhang Li for a night. Can someone help me tomorrow morning?

When he opened the door and entered, Bai Yi himself didn't know how relieved he was.

He placed Zhang Li on the sofa, and the soft sofa sank, but Zhang Li grabbed the pillow for some reason, as if he was about to sit up.

Bai Yi arrived with two glasses of white water, and as soon as they brought them over, Zhang Li fell to the ground.

He put the water glass on the coffee table, reached out to help Zhang Li up, and wanted him to lie down on the sofa.

As a result, as soon as he got started, he heard Zhang Li's hoarse and rough voice above his head: "Don't sit on the sofa."

Bai Yi was very patient: "The sofa is very soft, but the floor is hard."

He doesn't know how to deal with teenagers, so he treats Zhang Li like a child.

Zhang Li insisted abnormally: "Don't sit on the sofa."

Bai Yi stopped and stared into Zhang Li's eyes. He saw his own face reflected in Zhang Li's pupils, with a fake smile: "Why?"

Silence spread in the room, and the air seemed to stagnate.

Just when Bai Yi thought that Zhang Li would not speak again, Zhang Li turned his head away from Bai Yi, and said in a low voice, "Dirty."

He was covered in dust and sweat and blood.

Not a single piece of skin is clean.

But Bai Yi didn't take it seriously, he helped Zhang Li onto the sofa again: "If it's dirty, it's dirty, just remove the cover and wash it, it's not like washing it once and using it for a lifetime."

Zhang Li suddenly stopped moving, he stopped struggling and sat on the soft sofa.

"Drink some water." Bai Yi raised the cup to Zhang Li's lips, "I only have anti-inflammatory drugs alcohol and iodine here, and I can only treat you briefly. If you don't want to leave scars, you should go to the hospital tomorrow. medicine."

Zhang Li took a sip of water, closed his eyes and said, "I'll take it easy and leave right away."

Bai Yi glanced at him: "Where are you going? Go home?"

Zhang Li did not speak, and acquiesced.

Bai Yi laughed and said, "You go home like this? Your dad is already asleep, so you wake him up?"

Zhang Li: "We don't know each other well."

Bai Yi smiled softly: "We are neighbors, so close to each other, now we will be acquainted if we are not acquainted."

Zhang Li raised his head, his Adam's apple is obvious, and his muscle lines are also very clear. He is not yet an adult, but he already possesses the beauty of strength that an adult male should have.

"If you are afraid of owing me a favor..." Bai Yi said softly.

Zhang Li opened his eyes, and Bai Yi said, "Then invite me to dinner sometime?"

Zhang Li: "...OK."

This good word probably cost him the last of his strength. Zhang Li soon started to have a fever, and he lost consciousness. Bai Yi took his temperature, and it was not yet high fever. When he called 120, he was told that it was an empty number. Bai Yi didn't know the emergency number in the world, and he couldn't get a taxi here, and he didn't have the ability to carry Zhang Li on his back to the hospital a few streets away.

Bai Yi had no choice but to go to a nearby clinic to buy medicine by himself.

After feeding Zhang Li with antipyretics, he carried Zhang Li to the bed, covered him with a quilt, and went to the sofa to stay overnight.

Zhang Li, who had a fever, exhaled hot breath, but he didn't talk nonsense. Even though the fever was so severe, he was extremely silent.

It stands to reason that people are most vulnerable when they are sick, but Zhang Li doesn't follow the logic.

After he took the medicine, the fever started to go down, and the fever went down as fast as the fever.

At six o'clock in the morning, Bai Yi saw that Zhang Li hadn't woken up yet, so he left a note on the coffee table——

"I'm going down to buy breakfast, I'll bring you one, don't leave when you wake up."

Worried that the tone of the message was too harsh, Bai Yi also drew a smiling face on the back.

Bai Yi opened the door and went out, and closed it lightly without making a sound.

After the sound of Bai Yi's footsteps left, the person who was supposed to be asleep opened his eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. The tip of his nose was full of strange smells, which were the smell of new sheets and quilt covers, as well as iodine and medical alcohol. It was a novel experience for him to lie on the soft bed, since his mother died, he never knew what it was like to sleep in bed.

He has never been able to sleep on the floor, whether he is healthy or sick.

The quilt on the body is light and soft.

Zhang Li slowly closed his eyes, and he allowed himself to indulge for a minute.

He recalled everything that happened last night.

The knife wound on his body was painful, but Zhang Li didn't even frown, as if these wounds didn't belong to him.

It was just a minor injury, Zhang Li thought rationally and indifferently when he thought of the gentle action of the new resident when he treated the wound.

The new neighbor is about a good, compassionate guy.

If he knew that those people were more seriously injured than himself, and some of them had their legs broken by him, he probably wouldn't treat him like this.

It should be like a "normal person" and let him go away.

It is best to find a place where no one is around to die, so that there is no need to waste social resources.

Zhang Li grinned.

Gloomy calm.

But there is cruelty and mania that cannot be concealed.
