It was dry, unkempt skin roughened by the winter air, prickly from lack of moisture, and felt like a snake about to shed its skin.

"I'm not crying, you're lying to me," Xiao Shu pursed his lips stubbornly, and raised his chin high, like a wounded little animal, his eyes with thick dark circles were shining slightly, "You too Don't believe what I say, I have seen several people like you, you are full of lies, keen on deceit, hypocrisy and hopeless grown-ups, you will always only be self-righteous and immersed in your imagination, thinking that the whole world The truth can only grow according to your ridiculous logic, blind, stupid, condescending, I've had enough..."

"Xiao Shu, calm down, there is a glass of warm lemonade on your table, let's drink it slowly, shall we?"

He picked up the lemonade, carefully lowered his head to look at the pale yellow liquid inside, the vibrating water surface was twisting, like the face of a ferocious devil, the muscles in his face trembled slightly, and suddenly he dropped the cup on the ground It hit the ground with a crisp sound of "bang", the lemon juice splashed high, wet his ankles and trouser legs, the fragments even scratched his skin, the doctor opposite him frowned, his lips twitched , seemed to be trying to explain something, but the voice was getting farther and farther away from him, and together with the deceptively gentle face, it was shaking and slowly spreading like lemonade that had been smashed. Ripples, then fade, disappear...

The middle-aged man in military uniform sat down with a straight face, and took off his hat behind the same desk. Before he could speak, the word Sichuan was already deeply carved between his brows.His eagle-like eyes stared at Xiao Shu, and after a while, he finally spoke, his voice was as rough as sandpaper, "Why did you go to the imperial city of Rome? Tell me, what did you see?"

"I saw my brother, with black studs on his newly pierced ears and his school uniform, he was sweating from running in a hurry, and quietly entered the imperial city of Rome through the side door," Xiao Shu said. Stretching his back straight, thinking clearly, repeating every detail in it tirelessly, "I was worried about him, he was in a bad mood during that time - I could feel all his emotional changes, even occasionally I would dream of him quarreling with his boyfriend—although he plays in a band and often goes to bars, he still knows places like the Imperial City of Rome and never goes there. So I was afraid that something might happen to him, so I kept quietly followed behind him..."

"and then?"

"I saw him, Fu Qiuming. He's my brother's boyfriend, right? I haven't seen him once during their relationship, but I knew him the first time I saw him. "Xiao Shu's eyes seemed to be burning a lamp, and the lamp oil was filled with his own soul, "That man who is many years older than my brother is mixed with the scum, they smoke marijuana in KTV, many people He had already taken off his clothes, and was entangled like a group of disgusting beasts. My brother didn't go in. He stood at the door. The door was not closed, leaving a gap of half a decimeter. Fu Qiuming saw him from inside, and he was very surprised. , or rather frightened, even stood up from the sofa involuntarily, but was pulled back again."

"Captain Fu is an undercover agent. He has been lurking inside for almost a year. Everything was prepared that night. It was time to collect the net. As long as..."

"What does this have to do with me?" Xiao Shu stared at him indifferently.

The officer's brows were deeply frowned, and then slowly loosened, and his voice was tense: "...the kidnapping of you was completely unplanned. Fu Qiuming did have some dereliction of duty, and we also greatly neglected the scene." On behalf of all the officers and soldiers involved in the operation that day, I would like to apologize to you. I am sorry, Xiao Shu. I am very sorry that something like this happened."

"..."

long silence.

The officer slowly stood up from the desk, propping the desk with both hands, leaning his upper body towards him, with a knife in his eyes: "I understand your feelings, I'm really sorry, but, Xiao Shu , even for the sake of your brother, I hope you can cooperate with our investigation and help us catch those fish that slipped through the net as soon as possible. Please stop lying, I will not pursue anything you said today, trust me. "

"I didn't lie." Sweat dripped from Xiao Shu's forehead, and he repeated his pale excuse for the umpteenth time. "Every word I said is true, and I didn't lie."

With a "bang", the officer's hand slapped hard on the desk, knocking off Dad's favorite pen.

"You didn't lie?!" He looked into Xiao Shu's eyes, "The surveillance shows that you never entered the second floor of the Roman imperial city. Where did you describe so many details?!"

"I didn't...I didn't..." Xiao Shu was trembling, and the officer's face was twisting and deforming, like the mouth of some unknown creature that might swallow him in the next second, "What I said It's all true...I saw it...I saw it with my own eyes...it's Xiao Ze..."

The officer was gone.

He was the only one left in the room panting violently, the huge desk had regained its original tidiness, and a new lemonade was placed in front of him, which seemed to have added some soothing spices, exuding a seductive fragrance.Xiao Shu didn't refuse it anymore, he picked up the cup and gulped it down, curling his fingers vigorously.

Xia Tian sat down on the opposite side of the desk with a haggard face. She had no makeup on, her lips were bloodless, her hair was pulled back casually, her eyes were red and swollen after crying too much, and her dry and sad pupils stared at Xiao Shu's face , the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't speak for a long time.

Xiao Shu wanted to grab his mother's hand, but retracted halfway, half begging, carefully cut himself open, and repeated his excuses upside down: "I am Xiao Shu, mother, I am Xiao Shu... I'm not lying, I really saw it, I saw it through Xiao Ze's eyes... We are twins, mom, I know everything, Xiao Ze, Xiao Ze is about to wake up, he can control it unconsciously sometimes The human spirit, every time he inadvertently loses control, I can empathize with him...I'm not lying..."

"When he died, I was looking at him, he was looking at me, and I saw myself through his eyes... Mom, do you know what it feels like to have a bullet go through your forehead? He hurts, he His body is getting cold quickly, he is very sad, he thinks of you, father, and Fu Qiuming, I can feel the blood and tears pouring out together, that is the last temperature in the whole body, the last temperature They are also relentlessly rushing outside..."

"He died for me. Those bastards knew they couldn't run away. They injected the last drug. Then they smiled at us madly and asked who is the younger brother? I like the little brother the most. Come on, the little brother Play with us...brother blocked me...he...he tried to control...but everything got out of hand, their guns went off..."

Xiao Shu's cheeks finally started to get wet, and liquid gushed out of his eyes after a long time.Xia Tian on the opposite side was already sobbing, and the haggard eyes could not hold the tears, and they poured out drop by drop.She didn't say anything, walked around the desk, hugged Xiao Shu tightly into her arms, stroked his cheek and head vigorously, tears wet his hair.

"Mom, am I really Xiao Shu?" He asked in a whisper.

Xia Tian didn't answer, no one answered, the dismal sunset passed through the window of the study room, and shone obliquely on the vintage carpet.The room became quiet again, and the new lemonade with tranquilizers was placed in front of his eyes. He lowered his head, staring at the motionless Cup Noodles in a trance, and heard the hoarse voice of the opposite person apologizing to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Xiao Shu looked at the pale man through the transparent glass. In a few days, he lost weight at a terrible speed. There were deep shadows in his eye sockets, and his hands on the table were trembling unconsciously.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have quarreled with you, and I shouldn't have let you see those messy messages. I'm sorry, I..."

He cried.

Xiao Shu raised his head, squeezed the glass tightly, silently watching the wetness on his cheeks.He tried to speak again several times, but the choking in his throat made it difficult for him to utter a sound. Xiao Shu waited patiently for a long time until his hands were tightly clenched, as if trying to hide his trembling, embarrassing It was retracted under the table.

"No matter who you think you are, I will guard you for the rest of your life... Even if you want to receive treatment and forget about me...it doesn't matter."

"You're so young, I... I'm sorry, I love you, I'm sorry."

Xiao Shu didn't respond, he lowered his head again, staring at the water surface on the table, everything around his ears seemed to be separated by thick sea water, something heavy and bitter was squeezing him.

His head hurts, his tinnitus is severe, and his thoughts are confused.He heard someone calling his name, but he didn't know whether to answer it, his tired brain was turning slowly, tumbling those old and dark fragments outside.

He remembered something from a long time ago.

The young Xia Tian held his elder brother with his left hand and him with his right hand, put them in different colored overalls, and took them to the hospital to record DNA information.The doctor smiled and said, your twins really look alike. I have seen so many twins, and this is the first time I have seen such alike.

Xia Tian said: "Yes, sometimes I can't tell the difference. When they were born, my husband gave them a pair of golden locks, engraved their names on each, and hung them around their necks...Xiao Shu, Come show uncle your lock."

Xiao Shu smiled softly at his brother, leaned into his ear, and said as a joke: "They got it wrong again, today I want to be my brother!"

Xiao Ze rolled his eyes helplessly at him, Xia Tian called out "Xiao Shu" again, Xiao Shu pushed his brother's arm, Xiao Ze responded, his short legs moved slowly to his mother's side, and was caught The doctor took it into his arms.

Xiao Shu stood behind the heavy door of the desk, and after awakening, his over-acute sense of hearing caught the voices of the adults.He heard a strange middle-aged man speaking heavily, while his mother was sobbing softly.

"...There are serious...cognitive errors...I don't recommend...you can only do this...hypnosis...treatment..."

Dad asked in a low voice, "Have you really confirmed your identity?"

Another voice said: "It has been experienced more than ten times. The unfortunate ones who passed away are Xiao Shu, Xiao Ju, and Mrs. Xiao. Please... please express your condolences."

Unfortunately, it was Xiao Shu who passed away.

Xiao Shu.

No, it's not like that.

I am still alive, I am the real Xiao Shu.

……yes?

Xiao Shu seemed to have fallen into eighteen layers of hell, the bone-piercing cold penetrated into his body, he took a sharp breath, opened his eyes wide, his whole body was soaked in sweat, but his body was not warm at all, his teeth were shaking because of And there was a rattling sound, and I saw the white ceiling above my head in a twirl.
