Chapter 24 Hiding

Duan Congzhen stared at him suspiciously, hung his coat on the hanger, pulled off his tie, and walked towards the restaurant, "Aren't you sleeping so late?"

"Waiting for you..." Ji Lu swallowed, trembling slightly under Duan Congzhen's gloomy eyes.

Duan Congzhen leaned against the table, poured a glass of cold water, raised his head slightly, his eyes were almost glued to him, and he never moved away for a long time.

"Brother Duan... is there something wrong?" Ji Lu was a little apprehensive, his heart rate soaring: I don't know if he saw the news just now.

"Is it okay to see you?" Duan Congzhen retorted coldly.

"Okay." The deer said softly.

The cup in his hand was placed on the table, and there was a slight knock in the dark and silent living room, which seemed strange and empty. Duan Congzhen straightened his body and walked slowly towards him.

Ji Lu was holding the remote control, with his hands behind his back uncomfortably. The man in front of him approached slowly and oppressively, making him stiff for a moment, his body shook twice, and he subconsciously took half a step back.

Duan Congzhen walked in front of him, the distance between the two was extremely close, and the atmosphere was ambiguous, confirming that Ji Lu felt his hands and feet were cold.

There was a vague smell of alcohol coming from the tip of his nose.

"Brother Duan, have you been drinking?" Ji Lu asked cautiously, his eyes dodging.

"Can't you?" Duan Congzhen sneered, lowered his eyes and casually glanced at the TV that had just been turned off, and said in a low voice, "Watching the news?"

Ji Lu was startled, licked his lips, held the remote control tightly in his hand, and pretended to be calm, "Just take a look."

"Just take a look?" Duan Congzhen asked back.

That is, the deer didn't speak any more.He remembered Duan Congzhen's previous warning: lying in front of him is never a wise decision.

Reaching behind Ji Lu, Duan Congzhen firmly took the remote control in his hand and turned on the TV again.

The moment the picture came out, the deer stopped breathing, subconsciously tilted his head and closed his eyes, instinctively avoiding it.His teeth were clenched tightly, his arms were trembling, and his fingertips were pinching his palms.

"My father has always been a very kind person, I don't know why this happened..."

On the screen, the daughter of an innocent passer-by has a sallow complexion and chapped lips. She has obviously suffered a lot of pain. She can't help covering her face and weeping as she talks to the camera, "If you really decide to take your own life, why take What about innocent people..."

Everything in the camera, turn to off-site reporters.

"Currently, the incident of a male nurse falling from a building in Dongqingshan Mental Health Center has caused widespread discussion. Social organizations have called for attention to the mental health of the medical staff in the mental hospital. In addition, the families of passers-by who were seriously injured by the dead man will also file a lawsuit against the hospital... ..."

Duan Congzhen's eyes were indifferent, looking at the constantly beating light on the screen, he never said a word, just watched quietly, and when the news was over, he said calmly, "Oh, Dongqingshan, such a familiar name .”

Jilu's throat twitched, and he looked at him hesitantly and panicked, hesitating, "I...I..."

"Oh. I remembered." Duan Congzhen suddenly realized, turned his gaze to the man in front of him, and said in a meaningful tone, "That's where you came from, right?"

The fluffy words hit Ji Lu's heart, and he felt a little suffocated. He grabbed the hem of his clothes with both hands, and everything he had experienced in Dongqingshan suddenly flashed through his mind.

"I am, I have been in a mental hospital..." Jilu murmured softly, as if talking to himself, like a drowning person, weak and directionless.

The palms trembled uncontrollably, as if a bone-piercing chill was spreading to the limbs and bones, that is, the deer's knees were weakening, and it was about to fall down in the next moment.

He admitted that his mother suspected that something was wrong with him and sent him to Dongqingshan for treatment, but he swore that apart from some mild anxiety, he had no terrible symptoms.

He thought that he could get targeted treatment in the mental hospital, and that he would become normal after he came out, but he didn't expect that entering Dongqingshan was the beginning of his nightmare.

Originally, he didn't have such a serious disease.

It was Dong Qingshan who made him like this.

So the death of that male nurse was not worth his guilt at all, even a little pity was not worth it.

But how should he mention this to Duan Congzhen?

People who are not loved and valued at first, and suffer from inexplicable mental illness, will only make others feel troublesome, right?

Duan Congzhen doesn't like trouble, so he must not be trouble.

"Is it cold, Bambi?" Duan Congzhen looked down at him, his eyes were slightly cold, and he raised his hand to touch Ji Lu's arm, "You have a bad complexion."

The soothing action did not make Ji Lu relax, the palm on his arm was extremely oppressive, strong and irresistible, making Ji Lu stiff for a while.

"It's not cold." Ji Lu shrank his shoulders.

"Is that what I just said hurt you?" Duan Congzhen looked at the man's slightly tired and lonely face, raised his eyebrows slightly, and let go, "I didn't say what would happen if I went to a mental hospital, everyone needs a doctor Time. Don't act like a frightened bird."

Hearing this, Lu was slightly stunned, raised his head, and asked hesitantly in a low voice, "...Really?"

Duan Congzhen glanced at him and didn't repeat his words.

"Do you really think so?" Ji Lu rarely asked, his voice was subdued with a hint of surprise, and his breathing was a little short, "Don't you... look down on me?"

Duan Congzhen laughed suddenly, looked at him strangely, as if he was watching a kid telling a joke, and asked, "Why should I look down on you?"

"Besides..." Duan Congzhen paused, glanced at him casually from the corner of his eye, with playful eyes, "...haven't you recovered?"

The heart that had just been let go raised his throat again, and Ji Lu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the man in front of him with some surprise.

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why would the hospital release you?"

Duan Congzhen stared at him, smiled slowly, raised his hand and pinched Ji Lu's earlobe, his tone was gentle, but with an irresistible command, "I'm very tired now, come and wash my hair."

After finishing speaking, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.

The familiar smell mixed with the smell of alcohol that enveloped his body suddenly dissipated, and a gust of icy wind passed by, making Ji Lu shiver.

The living room became dead silent again.

That is to say, the deer lowered its head, and its eyes fell to the ground dully. The moonlight was bright and clear, flowing on the cold white floor tiles, like a deep pool.

His heart was beating so fast that he could hardly breathe.

cannot……

Ji Lu clenched his fists tightly, and a dry smell of blood rose from his throat, suffocating so much that he wanted to retch.

I can't...let Brother Duan know about his illness.Absolutely not.

dong dong.

There were two knocks on the glass door from the bathroom, followed by a lazy and comfortable low voice.

"Bambi, I suggest you don't keep me waiting too long."

The deer took a deep breath, tried to make himself look normal, and rolled his Adam's apple with difficulty.

"coming."

The author says:

A friendly reminder, Duan Congzhen later found out that even if the deer is sick, he would not treat him particularly well... because he really likes to play with others and is very selfish...
