As night falls, the neon lights in the distance are flickering, and the stars in the sky are also flickering. It is clearly a complicated scene, but there is a quiet coolness in it.

Tick, tick, tick...

The clock is ticking.

The water pipe in the kitchen had somehow malfunctioned and flooded the floor.When Bai Yutang turned off the switch of the water pipe, he turned off the switch of the natural gas together. Fortunately, there was only a part of the water pipe leaking, and it was fine to wrap it with a raw material tape.Then he continued to mop the floor tiles, his mind was messed up and empty, so the floor tiles were dragged once, twice, three times...

Zhan Zhao sat in the room and massaged his temples.Waves of headaches began to hit him before evening, like a lingering migraine.He knew it was the reaction of Curore's toxicity recurring in his body.The recovery of eyesight and legs and feet in the morning is a bit like a flashback, and the smooth time always passes very fast.Unknowingly put down his hand, looking at the door, Zhan Zhao was stunned for a while, his expression was not sad, but remained indifferent.He didn't care about this, because it would be useless to think too much, what he cared about was what Bai Yutang was thinking.

After a while, Zhan Zhao opened the door and walked towards the kitchen.Seeing Bai Yutang holding the mop thoughtfully.When I came close to the person, I saw that there was sweat on his forehead and his body was wet with sweat.His heart sank suddenly, Zhan Zhao pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "How can you drag the floor like it was picked up from the water?"

Sensing the familiar aura, Bai Yutang raised his head to look at the person in a daze.When Zhan Zhao put his hand on his forehead with such a calm and serene expression, Bai Yutang came back to his senses, took that hand and held it in his palm. "Nothing, I didn't pay attention to it myself."

Zhan Zhao smiled subconsciously, "Yutang, I suggest you go take a shower first, I'll make something to eat, and come out to eat after you finish washing!"

Bai Yutang took a deep look at him, "Yes." He put down the mop and went to take a shower.

Zhan Zhao also glanced at his back, opened the refrigerator and took out some ingredients.

There was a splashing sound in the bathroom.

Bai Yutang turned on the shower in a daze, and let it hit his head without taking off his clothes.

The not-so-cold water rushed straight through the hair, cheeks, neck, and down to the chest. Although it is not the coldest season, if the water wets the clothes like this, it will be very cool when the wind blows.

He just kept going, eyes closed.

The water from the shower splashed down.

However, compared to the lingering sadness in his mind, his body is actually not cold at all.

Listening clearly to the sound of water in the bathroom, Zhan Zhao peeled off the vegetables layer by layer, rinsed them with water, and cut them up.I was about to pour oil into the hot pot and turn it on, but the stove couldn't be ignited anyway. After a few tosses, I suddenly found that the main valve switch of natural gas was not turned on.

Opening the valve, Zhan Zhao frowned after thinking about it.Go to the bathroom door and knock. "Yutang, are you in there? The natural gas is not turned on, the shower should not be able to heat hot water, you..."

Bai Yutang suddenly came back to his senses and interrupted him. "I'm taking a shower."

"There's no hot water, and you're taking a shower too?" Zhan Zhao frowned even tighter. "You wash in cold water? You'll catch a cold!" He was talking, and he heard the sound of water rushing inside. "The switch outside is not turned on, so there is no way the shower inside will have hot water..."

Bai Yutang interface. "I take a shower in cold water, it's fine."

Zhan Zhao still couldn't help but continue knocking on the door worriedly. "That's not okay, you open the door first. Now the weather is changeable and it's the easiest to catch a cold. It's not a joke!"

The sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, Bai Yutang came out wearing a bathrobe, his hair was still dripping with water. "I'll dry your hair for you." Zhan Zhao sighed silently, took a dry towel, and stretched out his hand to test Bai Yutang's body temperature. He was a little cold, but there seemed to be no major problem.Sitting on the sofa, he brushed someone's hair, dried it with a hair dryer, got up and poured a cup of hot water into his hand, "It's a bit hot." Zhan Zhao reminded subconsciously, but saw Bai Yutang follow the trend After taking the cup, he just held it in his hand and looked at him without blinking his eyes. "Well, a little bit."

A strange feeling melted into a few numbers in Bai Yutang's mouth, an understatement of declarative sentences.Zhan Zhao's heart was filled with well-known unease, and he pieced together bits and pieces in his mind, "You..." He hesitated to speak but couldn't speak, and stopped abruptly after only one word.

"...Cat, I don't want water, I just want you." Bai Yutang put the water cup on the side coffee table at any time.In a hurry, only a small part of the bottom of the cup barely touched the glass surface, and with the last syllable he sighed and muttered, it fell to the ground unbearably and shattered.At the same time, an arm blocked Zhan Zhao's back, wrapping him completely in his arms across the back of the sofa.Bai Yutang bowed his head to kiss the person, and the wet breath blew on the person's face. The lingering depression that has been lingering in his heart these days, like a torrent passing through an opened sluice, rushed to the source of the bondage.He kissed so hotly, so lingeringly, with the trembling of his heart and soul, Zhan Zhao will never forget it in his whole life!

Quietly leaning on Bai Yutang's shoulder and panting little by little, Zhan Zhao clearly understood Bai Yutang's sudden move, and gently patted him one after another. "I will always be there, no matter what happens tomorrow." He added, "It won't be long, I believe everything will be fine."

Night regains its stillness and darkness.

"You always say that." Bai Yutang looked at the painting on the wall behind Zhan Zhao, without moving his eyes, and muttered to himself, but seemed to be in a trance, his thoughts were flowing quietly.

After that, the long silence was like a protective net, covering the two of them.

"But I really can't let go of your matter forever." Some things are not a matter of being strong or not, but of being deeply involved in the bone marrow, and it is impossible to settle accounts at all.

It wasn't until the time was almost frozen that Bai Yutang spoke again, and his voice fell into Zhan Zhao's ears.

Zhan Zhao smiled lightly, freed one hand, and went around behind him to hold Bai Yutang's hand.

"I know, I also miss you."

Neither of them was willing to waste time, snuggling to their heart's content.

The night grew darker.

"Dang—" A distant bell rang.

It's twelve o'clock.

Early morning of the sixth day.

Midnight dreamed that everything would be different after stepping through this door. After a deep concentration, there was infinite suspense and endless confusion.Whether it is sadness or joy, no one can know.

"Cat, it's twelve o'clock..." Bai Yutang whispered in Zhan Zhao's ear, "How do you feel?"

Zhan Zhao slightly closed his eyelids, feeling his head hurt and heavy, but he didn't say anything. "I'm okay."

Bai Yutang saw that he was mentally exhausted, grabbed his shoulders, and forced him to face himself. "Fortunately, just look at me." Bai Yutang knew that if Zhan Zhaoru lost consciousness, he would no longer be Zhan Zhao when he woke up again.His tone of voice was very light and slow, but his attitude was arrogant and could not be refused. "look at me."

Zhan Zhao felt very tired, and the curore attack in his body became more and more obvious, and it could make him fall into a slumber of nothingness anytime and anywhere.But he still tried his best to open his eyes, showing a slight smile and looking straight into Bai Yutang's eyes. "I'm looking at you, what are we going to say?"

"May I tell you a joke?" Bai Yutang tried his best to endure the panic and said quickly, "Although my third and fourth brothers don't understand, you must understand." He racked his brains and thought, "The ancient yamen There is a county magistrate surnamed Zhu, who is both taboo and polite..." Bai Yutang was talking, his eyes fixed on Zhan Zhao, "The last time I told this story with my third brother and fourth brother , they don’t know where the yamen is.”

"They've been abroad for a long time, so it's normal if they don't know about it." Zhan Zhao smiled mischievously, "Even if it's a zoo, it's not surprising."

"Yeah——" Bai Yutang's voice gradually became hoarse, "Listen to me, he said to the new little pigherd: 'You can't say the word 'Zhu' in my house, you have to call me master or my master, When you eat, you should say 'meal', when you sleep, you should say 'sleep', when you are sick, you should say 'illness', when you are well, you should say 'rehabilitation', and when you are dead, you should say 'passing away'. And to say 'execution'... do you know what happened next?"

"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao listened to him in a daze, and asked in his tone.

"The next day, a pig got swine fever. The little pig coffin hurried to the rich man and said: 'My lord, there is a 'my lord' who is sick, call him 'dinner' instead of 'dinner', call him 'sleep' If you don't 'go to bed', I'm afraid it will be difficult to 'recover', why not 'execute' it!" The county magistrate was so angry that he couldn't speak for a long time." Bai Yutang exhaled, and asked in a voice that was out of tune People, "Is this a good joke?"

Zhan Zhao felt more and more confused in his head, and frowned slightly. "Yutang, it should be very funny, but I can't understand..." He closed his eyes, "I feel like my brain is failing, I don't know what you are talking about."

"Cat, let me talk about something else, okay?" Bai Yutang clutched Zhan Zhao's arm with a little effort, "Did you just mention the zoo, right? Let's say your cat...was thrown away by me." What about the chicken?" Feeling that he didn't know what to do, he picked up a book next to him and flipped through it casually like coaxing a child, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he handed the book to Zhan Zhao. "Look cat, there's 'chicken' on it."

Hearing this, Zhan Zhao opened his eyes, only to see words floating in front of his eyes, "What?" He gathered his energy very hard, and read each word one by one: "The son of the Li family does not have the skills of the father, but the nature of the chicken. The breeder If the crown distance is not raised, the feathers are not obvious, and if there is no desire to drink and peck, if you see the enemy, you will be the rooster. Yu Ziyan. And contrary to the way of the ancestors, it is not that the feathers are wrong, and the mouth is far away from the sharp edge, do not live with it, do not have the morning companion when returning, the courage to meet the enemy, the crown is high, and the drink is pecked. If the way is bad, there must be a husband!" After reading, he smiled weakly, "Yutang, I can still understand these words, I probably haven't become demented..." Unable to resist the spread of the poison, he The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and finally there was no sound.

Bai Yutang's face was already pale, he held Zhan Zhao in his arms, and leaned against his shoulder with his eyes closed.His heart was filled with deep sorrow, and an inexplicable irony spread from his mouth.A drop of wet liquid came from nowhere, slipped onto Zhan Zhao's shoulder, and slowly smeared.

The clock turned to twelve noon, and when Jiang Ping entered, he saw Zhan Zhao sitting in a chair, looking at the little gray cat lying on the table in front of him with his chin up.He looked at the cat, and the kitten also looked at him. A person and a cat looked at each other for a long time, and it seemed that they could see Hengyuan.

Seeing Jiang Ping coming in, Bai Yutang nodded, his face expressionless.Jiang Ping seemed unbelievable, walked up to Zhan Zhao and called him.Hearing the sound, Zhan Zhao turned his head to look at him, blinked slowly, his eyes were still pure and clear, but he couldn't see what was still in his eyes until yesterday.

Zhan Zhao was not surprised by Jiang Ping's arrival. When Jiang Ping called him again, he shook his head apologetically, not knowing what he was talking about.

"It's useless, fourth brother, he can't understand you." Bai Yutang leaned against the wall with his arms folded and let out a sigh of frustration.

Jiang Ping's eyes widened. "Really don't understand?" He thought for a while, "Can you talk?"

Bai Yutang lowered his eyes and nodded.

"You can talk, but you can't understand other people's words." His face was stiff. "Since he woke up in the morning, every time I said a word, he told me that he couldn't understand-the symptoms were a bit like autism."

"It's so poisonous, I didn't expect it to become like this." Jiang Ping shook his head sighingly, and thumped the wall.

While speaking, the sharp whistle of "beep -" broke Bai Yutang's empty mood.Uneasy steam emanated from the kettle behind him, and Bai Yutang hesitated for a moment before turning around in a trance, took out the mug and poured a glass of milk.The biscuits in the oven were just finished baking at this time, and there was a burst of crispy and sweet aroma in the air.He took the plate, put neatly clean white table paper with engravings on it, and put the baked biscuits on it.

"Fourth brother, wait for me." Bai Yutang said to Jiang Ping, and then took milk and biscuits and placed them on the table in front of Zhan Zhao. "Cat, are you hungry? Would you like to eat?" He sat beside the person and said softly.

Zhan Zhao looked at Bai Yutang and smiled slightly, "What did you say?" His eyes were full of innocent confusion.He is like an empty shell now, the memories of the past that still existed until yesterday, the pain in the past, and even the deep affection for the people around him seem to have not left him at all.

Although he had already been forced to accept the reality after experiencing the initial shock, Bai Yutang's heart was still filled with sadness and bitterness.Withdrawing his speechless stare, he spoke in a soft voice as much as possible: "Eat—something—I'll feed you, the biscuit is made according to the method taught on the Internet." He held a kitten-patterned biscuit and fed it slowly. to people's mouths.

Zhan Zhao took a bite, the biscuit made a crunchy sound, it was fragrant, and a fresh breath rushed into his stomach.He took another bite and blinked slowly, "It's delicious."

"Eat more if it tastes good." Bai Yutang knew he was talking to himself, but he still put the biscuit plate in front of Zhan Zhao, took a cup and put it to his mouth to feed him a few sips of milk. "Eat slowly, I will accompany you later."

Zhan Zhao pressed his chin on the back of his hand, staring at the animal biscuits on the plate, like a child seeing a toy for the first time.Bai Yutang took a few steps forward, turned around, and saw Zhan Zhao take out the catfish, rabbit and other biscuits from the plate, and put them on the table to play with.His feet went limp, and he fell to the ground almost powerlessly. The growing pain instantly swept across like a wave, washing over his whole heart. Every time he glanced at Zhan Zhao, every bone in his body froze. Like being delayed.It's really unimaginable, if there is no antidote, even if Zhan Zhao will not die, will it be like this all his life?How should he get that person back from before?

Jiang Ping helped Bai Yutang aside, Bai Yutang glanced at him with trembling lips, took a deep breath and lowered his head tiredly. "Fourth brother, what's going on outside now?"

"It's almost done. The stronghold of drug trafficking has been destroyed. Zhan Bozhong is an American citizen, and Interpol has also intervened. If everything goes well, the police will wipe out the remaining killer forces in his hands before the end of the month." Jiang Jiang Ping said word by word, "I also hope that the matter can be resolved soon, otherwise all Zhan Zhao's sacrifices will be meaningless!" He couldn't help sighing, thinking of the scene in front of him just now, he felt extremely uncomfortable.He patted Bai Yutang's shoulder, feeling for the first time how pale the comfort really was, but he still had to talk. "Fifth brother, if you have a little more patience, the antidote should really be on the horizon. You also know that this kind of poison is dangerous, and the time to make the antidote is so short. But no matter what, Zhan Zhao won't last forever." Like this, how could he not be willing to remember you..."

"Fourth brother, stop talking!" Bai Yutang gritted his teeth and struggled away from Jiang Ping, pressing his forehead against the cold floor-to-ceiling glass behind him in a state of agitation, "I think I'm going crazy too." Zhan Zhao was poisoned. Everyone blames themselves, what Jiang Ping said is just to expose the powerless but unsearchable embarrassment in his heart.

Jiang Ping's expression also changed, and he followed him with his eyes wide open. "Yutang, I know that you are suffering the most in your heart, but you have reached the last moment, you must persevere! Don't turn around and show yourself, but you fell down."

"It's okay, I know what to do." Bai Yutang closed his eyes, trying his best to calm down the helpless feeling of not knowing what to do with himself.

Jiang Ping patted him on the shoulder and sighed.

……

The last few days were really difficult, Bai Yutang decided to find something to distract his attention, to relieve the psychological pressure of thinking about things if he was not careful.During the period, because Zhan Zhao seemed very interested in the biscuits these days, he simply decided to make this to pass the time.He once promised him that after he became demented, he would talk and do many things with him, and make Binky's favorite fish crackers together to make him happy.

The first step in making biscuits is of course preparing the egg yolks.Cracking eggs is easy for normal people, but for Zhan Zhao at this moment, it is quite difficult.

Open the egg, put the egg white in one bowl, and put the yolk in another bowl... Bai Yutang showed Zhan Zhao a demonstration, and then put an egg in his hand.Zhan Zhao mechanically cracked the eggs, separated the yolk and egg white into a bowl.This is already the result of Bai Yutang's hard work teaching him for four days. At the beginning, he didn't understand what it meant to "crack the egg".

"Cat, do you know how many eggs you've laid?" After a few minutes, Bai Yutang asked slowly, in a low voice, as if he had let go of all his patience, fearing that a loud noise would scare Zhan Zhao. .The doctor said that Zhan Zhao couldn't bear external stimuli now, and he had to be extremely calm when getting along with him.But seeing Zhan Zhao's eyes showing doubts, he glanced at the egg and then at Bai Yutang, and shook his head after a while.

He still lacks understanding of the judgment of specific things, but to Bai Yutang's relief, he has gradually understood his own words. As long as he tirelessly repeats a sentence five times, ten times, or even twenty times or thirty times, he will eventually If he understands, as long as he can still understand, his brain is not stupid. Although he is a slow learner, he is not a fool.I believe that after a period of relaxation, he will gradually understand, tap his own memory, and learn to think for himself.

Although compared with his previous intelligence, there is a gap of thousands of miles, but he is learning, although he is learning slowly, it has given Bai Yutang a lot of comfort.

During these four days, Bai Yutang thought a lot.He hoped that the antidote would be made soon, so that Zhan Zhao could return to normal and belong to himself completely.But he also prepared for the worst, if something goes wrong with the antidote, he won't just indulge in frustration and pain, as long as Zhan Zhao is still alive, as long as he can see him every day, it will be fine.

"Let me show you, one, two, three..." Bai Yutang took Zhan Zhao's hand and counted all the egg yolks in the bowl. "Is it six?"

After repeating it several times, Zhan Zhao finally understood what he said, smiled and nodded. "Six."

"Then, beat the butter and sugar until it's white and fluffy..." Bai Yutang handed the eggbeater to Zhan Zhao. Maybe it would be tomorrow when he beat the butter well. The egg yolk might be clumped and it would be useless, but then so what?The most important thing is that he learned one thing, one movement.No matter how difficult it is, how tedious and tiresome the process is.

"Butter?" In Zhan Zhao's eyes, this was another very new thing. After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, so he smiled again.That kind of faint smile made Bai Yutang think of him in the past, and his heart felt sour again.

"Mix the butter and sugar together first." Bai Yutang concealed his feelings, slowly mixed the butter and sugar together, and then pointed it out to Zhan Zhao.

"Together?" Zhan Zhao seems to like to grasp the words that he thinks can be repeated, maybe he thinks this is fun.

Bai Yutang held Zhan Zhao's hand, and put the egg beater into the melted butter. "What's the matter?" He tilted his head and met Shang Zhan Zhao's eyes without blinking.

Zhan Zhao shook his head, he still didn't understand what Bai Yutang was talking about, if he just said it once, he still wouldn't understand.He turned his attention back to the butter, tentatively slipping a finger into the butter, it was soft.He smiled at Butter while he was playing, Bai Yutang looked at him and smiled, stretched out his hand gently and pulled his finger out, wrapping the other four fingers together in the palm of his hand.

In fact, there is really nothing wrong with Zhan Zhao like this, he does everything so purely, and he no longer needs to live for calculations.His heart is now the purest crystal, and even his smile is pure from the heart.

"Cat, can you give me a hug?" Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao into a hug, unintentionally touching his forehead, and his eyes met close at hand.Zhan Zhao blinked slowly, then raised his hand to touch Bai Yutang's eyelashes ignorantly.Bai Yutang's heart trembled slightly, and his eyes felt slightly hot. Every movement of Zhan Zhao would inexplicably affect his heart, and he couldn't control it no matter what. "What's the matter with you?" Zhan Zhao looked at the faint flickering light in his eyes in surprise, as if feeling his momentary emotion, he muttered to himself a plain and straightforward sentence that even he himself didn't know.

"It's nothing." Bai Yutang locked his eyes with deep eyes, looked straight into the deepest part of his soul, then supported the back of his neck and leaned on his shoulder. "I love you."
