Where did you get this substitute from?

Tonight the weather suddenly turned cold.

After evening self-study, some male and female students made an appointment to eat Mala Tang together.

A gust of cool wind blew over, and Su Shen walked downstairs quickly with her neck curled up and her book in her arms, when she suddenly heard someone calling him.

"Su Shen!"

When he turned around, he saw Hutong waiting at the small flower bed with a coat in his arms, and even waved at him.

After all, this was the first time Ji Shutong came back to school to look for him.

Su Shen trotted over, and Ji Shutong handed him the coat, took the book in his arms, "Let's go, let's eat."

"Eh? Hmm." Su Shen put on his coat and followed behind him.

At first, he thought he was going to eat Mala Tang in the back street, but he didn't expect Ji Hutong to drive him further and further away.

Su Shen squinted in the back seat for about 10 minutes, then patted him on the shoulder: "Wake up, we're here."

Today is not a holiday, but the business of the Sichuan restaurant is very lively, even though it is already midnight.

The difference was that it was probably a box that had been reserved in advance, they went straight up to the second floor, entered the room, and the noise from the outside was barely audible.

The waiter introduced a few signature dishes, Ji Shutong ordered a few casually, and then passed the menu to Su Shen.

Su Shen was still looking around.

The traces are different: "Don't look at it, it's just the two of us, see what you like to eat."

Su Shen scanned the menu. This restaurant focuses on spicy food, and the dishes are either spicy or spicy.

"Is it not to your taste? Why don't you change to another one."

"No." Su Shen lowered his head, "I'm not hungry yet."

The food was served very quickly, and after a while the dishes were all served, Ji Shutong gave him a piece of brain: "I guess you haven't eaten this stuff, you should try it."

Su Shen looked at the brains in the bowl, which were glistening with oil, and did not move his chopsticks for a long time.

"Oh, by the way, here's a little gift for you." Ji Shutong took out a cell phone from his coat pocket, "This cell phone is the same model as mine."

At some point, Su Shen found that he no longer resisted what Ji Shutong gave him.

I even took it happily. The SIM card has been activated. The boot page is simple. There are only different numbers in the address book, and the note is "different".

He smiled, wanted to change to a different full name but stopped on the editing page.

After hesitating for a moment, he pressed the backspace key to return to the home page.

Ji Shutong poured some wine and was about to put it in his mouth when he remembered that he was driving a car and couldn't drink. He pushed the glass aside and saw that Su Shen hadn't picked up his chopsticks yet, wanting him to stop playing with his phone, "Today It’s cold, eat something warm to warm you up, and drink some soup if you’re not hungry.”

Some things fall in love at once, but Su Shen didn't eat his brain until the end.

Many years later, when he went to the Sichuan restaurant again, the chef who was in charge of the spoon had changed several times. He ate the brains, but the taste was different from what he had imagined.

Since then, he has been to many places and ordered all kinds of brain teas, but he has not found the taste he imagined.

……

During this time, Su Shen always looked tired.

Ji Shutong put down the project cost list, rubbed the space between his eyebrows, and inadvertently looked at Su Shen who was already asleep outside the bed. The dim bedside lamp blurred his back.

Recently, he has been busy with the company's bidding. Due to the tight schedule, he has completely put the school affairs behind him.

He didn't have dinner with Su Shen for almost half a month, and when he came back tonight, he found that there was something wrong with this person.

Su Shen was a little thinner than the last time we met, and she was a bit abnormally thin, her cheeks were so thin that she could trace the shape of her cheekbones.

Before Su Shen went to take a bath, he asked a few questions tentatively.

This person kept talking about other things.

Su Shen's attitude annoyed him.

He didn't know what he was to Su Shen.

"Ah."

Love to talk or not.

Since he didn't want to talk, he didn't bother to ask.

……

The summer is long and the sun is still hot until September.

When Su Shen passed the entrance of the alley, she would still involuntarily stop and look into the alley, even though it was broad daylight.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk forward, when suddenly someone grabbed his arm.

The next moment, he crashed into an embrace.

He struggled desperately reflexively, but the smell coming from the tip of his nose was familiar.

He raised his head, and the person he saw was Yi Yangfan.

He pursed his mouth tightly, not understanding why Yi Yangfan appeared here and made such a move.

But when Yi Yangfan looked back, he hastily moved his eyes away.

After a moment of stalemate, Yi Yangfan broke the silence: "I'm sorry."

Su Shen's eyes froze for a moment, he knew why Yi Yangfan apologized, but he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Su Shen's reaction fell into Yi Yangfan's eyes, which seemed to mean that no matter what he said, he didn't want to have anything to do with him.

"I've been to your house." Yi Yangfan said lightly, "Grandma said that you started to live on campus not long after school started. I went to check the list of dormitories, but you were not on the list."

Su Shen looked at him silently.

However, Yi Yangfan didn't continue this topic, he just looked at the wall behind Su Shen with a little disappointment.

Not long after Su Shen broke away from his embrace, Yi Yangfan calmly looked away, then turned and left.

Su Shen didn't forget what to do this trip.

He walked alone to the end of the street, walked to the place agreed on the phone, and stuffed the money into the mailbox.

The old letterbox was rusty, with a new lock hanging from it, and the heavy envelope bag slammed into it with a plop.

Su Shen let out a long sigh of relief.

He thought there would be a period of peace after paying the money this time.

About a week later, the call came again.

The phone rang, and he picked it up: "Hello?"

The voice over there was strange but clear: "...the day after tomorrow, one hundred thousand."

After finishing the call, he got up from the bed and staggered to the full-length mirror.

The body of the person in the mirror is somewhat youthful.

He looked at his body.

After a long time, he sighed.

He took a deep breath and dialed the phone: "...Yes, it's me."

The voice over there was brisk: "So fast? Can your body handle it? It's still the old price."

He lowered his head: "Well, see you at the old place."

……

Su Shen's face was morbidly pale from selling blood too frequently.

At dinner, it was torture to raise and lower his arms.

His appetite was poor, and he only ate a little at each meal, and it seemed that he couldn't even squeeze out the strength to digest.

When Ji Shutong came back at night, Su Shen was still awake.

He took a shower and came out, Su Shen was still leaning on the head of the bed blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

He was too lazy to ask Su Shen what he was doing, he didn't want to make trouble for himself.

Lie down on the bed, put your hands on your eyes, and relax your body.

Not long after, a trembling hand reached his waist, and his pajamas were easily untied.

It would be impossible not to be shocked, but he tried his best to maintain his sanity, put down his hands, looked at Su Shen who was approaching him, and frowned slightly: "What are you doing?"

Su Shen's hands were trembling, he pursed his lips tightly, and looked at himself flatteringly: "I...I want to borrow money from you again."

That's a very straightforward answer indeed.

He didn't know why, it was as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart, and he was violently stirred inside, the pain was so painful that his breathing was a little unsteady.

He became short of breath in an instant, shook off Su Shen's hand, and said harshly, "You are really straightforward. What, where is your arrogance?"

Su Shen's face became embarrassing.

He bowed his head in shame.

Ji Shutong grabbed his arm, trying to find out what was going on, but after being caught by him, Su Shen showed a painful expression.

The man tried his best to cover the pinhole on his arm and a large area of ​​bruised skin, but after a hasty glance, he could still see the difference.

"you--"

anger?angry?

Emotions peaked, these seem to be insufficient to describe.

Traces are different, recalling what was wrong with Su Shen during this period of time, the bitter taste that arrived first filled his heart.

He even Xidu.

"Why did you do that?" Ji Shutong looked at him viciously, his tone seemed to want to eat him alive, and even punched him several times in anger, "Are you dead?! Speak!"

Su Shen seemed to have only a shell left, he didn't speak or struggle.

There were still marks on his face from the punch he had just punched.

Ji Shutong pinched Su Shen's face, looked into those dull eyes, and said in a word: "Listen clearly, don't even try to get a penny from me!"

After speaking, Ji Shutong tore him off the bed, dragged him all the way, down the stairs, and threw him outside the gate.

When Aunt Qiao heard the movement, Ji Shutong had already closed the door tightly.

She followed closely behind Ji Shutong: "Master, it's cold at night, it will freeze you to death."

Ji Shutong had almost reached the hall, he picked up the glass bottle beside him, and threw it on the ground: "Shut up!"

Su Shen's back was against the door, and when it was almost dawn, he maintained the same posture, neither falling asleep nor awake.

He didn't even panic about being kicked out of the door.

I don't feel anything.Neither good nor bad.

He was not without self-deprecating thought, he wanted to sell|sell himself out, but failed.The way of selling blood is not going to work now, even if he pumps people to do it, he will not be able to raise [-] in the short term.

Seeing that it was almost time for morning self-study, he was about to pat the gate to let Ji Shutong let him in. If he really didn't want to block his eyes, he could even throw his school uniform out.

The moment before his hand touched the door, the door suddenly opened, and a pale and haggard face appeared behind the door.

There was a pile of cigarette butts piled up at his feet, his eyes looked a little tired, and he spoke hoarsely, "Come in."

Ji Shutong began to notice who Su Shen was in contact with every day.

Su Shen's social circle is very simple, going to school, leaving school, and working part-time for ten years.

He didn't understand how Su Shen came into contact with that kind of thing.

But he knew very well that if he didn't start from the source, no matter what institution he sent Su Shen to, it would leave troubles behind.

Su Shen would sometimes be surprised: "You've been very free recently."

Ji Shutong has been driving him to and from school in person recently.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Ji Shutong answered him mockingly: "Is it hindering you?"

Su Shen didn't understand what he meant.

The change started when he was thrown out the door last time.

He hesitates to speak when speaking, and is always sarcastic.

Su Shen looked out the window.

There seemed to be a wall between him and Ji Shutong, which cut them off cruelly. Later, he wanted to confess, but found that the opportunity had passed, and Ji Shutong no longer wanted to listen to what he had to say.

……

The person who had been looking for sales for Su Shen introduced a buyer to Su Shen.

Under the strict supervision of Jishutong, he finally found an opportunity to come out to meet the buyer. The chat room was chosen in a very high-end place, and he was almost blocked from the door.

The buyer is a middle-aged man in his 30s.He said lightly: "You may not know who I am, but I recognize you. Your name is Su Shen, right?"

He smiled: "I am Jiang Juxian, and Jiang Xian is my younger sister, you should have met her."

Su Shen looked at him in confusion.

Jiang Juxian refilled him a cup of tea, "Where should I start..."

He said that his younger sister needs a bone marrow transplant, and Su Shen's bone marrow is just right. You can rest assured that after the transplant operation, you may be weak for a while, but it will not cause adverse effects on your body after recovery.

He asked Su Shen to make an offer, but it must be explained that if he accepted the agreement, he could no longer go back on his word.

"If the operation goes well this time, when Jiang Xian recovers, Ji Shutong and her marriage can be scheduled..." Jiang Juxian smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. You don't have to worry about whether you will stay or not, after all, he kept you by his side just for Jiang Xian."

"...For Jiang Xian?"

"do not you know?"

"I..." Su Shen thought for a while, but Ji Shutong never said it.

He remembered the frail girl behind Ji Shutong the day he knelt down in the hospital, she must be Jiang Xian.

He remembered that Ji Shutong had only told him that he didn't want to get married for the time being.

Is it because Jiang Xian's physical condition is too weak that he can't get married?

He also said that he has someone he likes, and that person is not Sur.

It turned out to be Jiang Xian.

So when he saw the traces of him selling blood, Ji was so angry because if his physical condition was too poor, would it affect the transplant operation?

"Don't worry about this matter, you can think about it again." Jiang Juxian said and got up, "If you have made up your mind, whether you agree or not, call this number."

He pushed the business card in front of Su Shen.

After Jiang Juxian left, Su Shen held the business card, and tears welled up involuntarily.

Although there are many unsatisfactory things in life, he seldom uses tears to vent his emotions.

But he was very sad at the moment, he was so sad that he couldn't breathe, the more he held back his tears, the more tears flowed down his face.

……

He came home when it was getting dark.

Like when Sur was hospitalized, the house was dark and no one was there.

In his small bedroom, because the master has not come back for a long time, the space left for the bed and the aisle is even smaller.

He walked lightly to the edge of the bed and squatted down, wrapped his arms around his legs, and rested on his arms.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep when he was awakened by the vibrating sound of his mobile phone.

The windows are not open, and when the room is closed, the originally small sound when the phone vibrates is infinitely amplified.

When he saw the calling number, he couldn't help but panic.

The person who had been blackmailing him like he was dying, started again.

He connected tiredly, but didn't speak.

That voice came from two places.

Su Shen stood up nervously, opened the door carefully, and the voice became more and more clear.

One is a female voice, and the other is a male voice that has undergone voice-changing processing.

The two intersected and asked him: "Su Shen, how is your money prepared?"

Su Shen pushed open the door in front of him.

Su Er's room was tightly closed, the curtains covered the night outside the window, the bedside lamp was not very bright and shone on her face, and Su Er had a voice changer on his lips.

The moment Su Shen pushed the door open, Su Er hesitated for a moment, and quickly ended the call.

Su Shen's call interface also ended one after another.

He looked at his mobile phone with a puzzled look on his face, and stood by the door stupidly.

"Sister." Su Shen's voice was weak and pitiful, "Why do you..."

For a moment he didn't know what to ask.

It may be that all the things that supported him disappeared at this moment. He couldn't stand stably, and the hand holding the door frame slipped all the way, and the whole person froze on the ground: "Why is this so?"

he murmured.

Sur looked at him indifferently, and said for a long time: "That's right, it's what you saw. I'm the one who has been blackmailing you."

The blood on his face seemed to have been sucked clean, and he looked at her dully.

Sur didn't panic at all, he just said calmly: "What else do you want to ask?"

He was repeating: "...why do you do that?"

Su Er sneered: "This is what you owe me."

"I sold this money to Ji Shutong. You use it. Don't you think it's dirty?"

Su Er's eyes became more and more cruel: "The difference in traces originally belonged to me."

Su Shen laughed desolately.

It turned out that it wasn't just him, even Sur didn't know that Jiang Xian was the one he liked.

He covered his face with his hands, but strangely, he didn't feel like crying at all.

Sur really hated him.

He actually only now understands.

After Su Shen left, the call rang again in the room.

Su Er answered the phone and smiled sarcastically, "...Continue? He has already bumped into him, how can I continue?"

The other party's displeased voice came: "Su Er, the conditions I agree to you do not include failure."

After the operation failed, someone found Su Er. There was a foreign hospital that performed miracles on Su Er's disease. He could send Su Er abroad for treatment, and he could bear all the surgical expenses during the period.

The condition is to make an ambiguous film to blackmail Su Shen.

He said that he could give Su Er a period of time to think about it, but Su Er didn't even ask him the purpose of doing so, and agreed with almost no hesitation.

Because, it was Su Shen who owed her in the first place.

Hearing the threat in the other party's tone, Sur asked the other party angrily: "What do you mean?"

However, the man hung up the phone directly.

……

It was the next morning when I returned to Jishutong.

Su Shen kept walking in the city, not knowing where else to go.

I don't know how long he walked, but the sun was getting bigger and bigger, making the person dizzy, and he saw the familiar gate in a trance.

Aunt Qiao was cleaning up a broken wine glass by the pool.

Seeing him come back, she walked over quickly and said: "You didn't come back last night, and the young master lost his temper. When the young master comes back, don't make him angry anymore."

He returned to the room like a dead body, and lay down on the bed, feeling very tired.

I don't know how long he fell asleep, but Su Shen was woken up by a slap.

He covered his face and raised his head, as if he had drunk alcohol, his face was already red from the alcohol, and his body smelled of alcohol, "Where did you go yesterday?"

Su Shen was terrified by the oncoming smell of alcohol, so he moved back.

"Are you looking for someone to sell yourself again?" He suppressed Su Shen, loosened his tie, and then unbuttoned his coat. The halo outside the window gradually dimmed. In the unclear light, his eyes reminded Su Shen of an alley mouth that drunk.

He deliberately approached and teased him in a bad tone: "How much is it sold to others, how about I pay double?"

Due to the unknown fear, Su Shen's voice began to tremble, "...don't."

"What are you pretending? How long do you think I'll eat your set? Do you think I'll rush to please you?"

Su Shen struggled subconsciously.

Ji Shutong looked at him, and suddenly sneered, "Don't you fucking play this trick with me."

"Didn't you know what to do that night?" Ji Shutong pinched his face and tore his collar drunkenly, "I gave you money, I didn't play you for nothing. I'm so fucking stupid, Xidu's How many people are clean, have you done it with others long ago, let me guess, Yi Yangfan?"

Su Shen froze when she heard Yi Yangfan's name.

Ji Shutong frowned, and suddenly raised his hand to slap him across the face. Su Shen's mind was dazed by the slap, and his voice came into his ears in a trance: "Are you a dead person? Who will you show your innocence?!"

He began to cry, "I didn't...why did you frame me."

Su Shen resisted with all his strength, and Ji Shutong directly grabbed his arm, pushed up his sleeve, held the bruises and pinhole marks in front of his eyes, "Then what is this?"

He didn't speak again.

Ji Shutong hated this horrible feeling of being stuffed with a handful of rotten cotton in his heart from time to time.

He pressed Su Shen, and punched him several times, punching to the flesh.

Even adults may not be able to bear these fists.

During this period of fear, Su Shen's physical condition was on the verge of collapse. After being punched in the stomach, cold sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant, and he curled up clutching his stomach.

Ji Shutong grabbed his hair and lifted his head up. After hearing his whining cry, his mind paralyzed by alcohol cleared up for a moment.

He picked him up very quickly, and for the first time in his life, he realized what it meant to be panicked.

He murmured: "Su Shen, wake up."

Su Shen's cheeks were swollen, not only did not wake up, but also vomited blood.

The color of the blood was bright red, not like the bloodstains caused by biting the mouth.

Ji Shutong panicked, wrapped Su Shen up and carried him downstairs in a hurry.

He couldn't drive after drinking, and the driver drove them to the hospital. He heard a faint cry of pain in his ears, and wanted to slap himself twice.

Looking at the test results, the doctor couldn't help asking: "This is too ruthless, have you called the police?"

Excessive blood loss, a ruptured spleen, and multiple soft-tissue injuries throughout the body.

When Ji Shutong heard this, a pained expression appeared on his face.

"Also, has the patient sold blood recently?"

The doctor is very sure that he is not donating blood, but selling blood, because the patient is anemic and malnourished, and the current situation cannot be explained if it is not for selling blood to the point of madness.

Those bruises were caused by selling blood.

The doctor patted the shoulders with different marks: "You students, relying on your youth and good health, you don't hesitate to die."
