reverse crush

The frantic footsteps in the corridor were suddenly interrupted with the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. The maintenance worker didn't stop much, and didn't even cry out in pain. He stood up immediately and continued to flee with a limp pace.

Although I don't know why he is crazy, but people come to repair things, in case you get injured when you go downstairs, Pei Zhenyan can hardly be blamed. He has no time to continue to investigate Lu Zhi's intention to talk to him, so he hastily picked up the maintenance worker. The lost tools were hurriedly chased down.

Pei Zhenyan knows that there is a certain gap between himself and the fast-bodied Bolt, but he is also the one who must win the place in every competition in the school sports meeting, but this time his lungs are about to pop out and he can't catch up with him. As if riding a rocket, the two abruptly ran from the 19th floor to the second floor with no stairs to run.

Until the exit of the corridor, the maintenance worker didn't know what horrible scene he saw, and finally gasped suddenly and braked the car, then slowly backed up step by step with his weak legs trembling.

Pei Zhenyan then arrived out of breath. He was fully prepared and looked over the maintenance worker's head to see the obstacle.

It was rare for Lu to eat radish and not worry about it, so he ran down to block people.

With his arms across the door frame, holding a wrench and a hammer in his hands, his displeasure and impatience were relentlessly expressed on his face, and he asked, "Why are you running?"

Thanks to his sharp mind, he guessed that people who are running like running for their lives probably don't have the mind to look at the floors, so they went straight down to the bottom floor and waited. Otherwise, Pei Zhenyan would have to play every day in the underground garage with his slippers on.

In the final analysis, this matter has nothing to do with him, and he has no need to meddle in such nosy matters.Pei Zhenyan's previous guess about the summation was once again secretly haunting his heart.

"Don't come here! Don't come here!" The situation was further developing in an uncontrollable direction. From the corner of his eyes, the maintenance worker caught a glimpse of the owner coming into the elevator from the garage, and his pupils of despair burst out, "Killer! Help!"

"!!!" The volume of the roar was like a shock wave that almost tore the eardrums, Pei Zhenyan's head was buzzing, and he instinctively looked at Lu Zhi.

Judging from Lu Zhi's out-of-body performance after being struck by five thunderbolts, his mental state is not much better.

Property Office.

Several staff helped the maintenance worker to sit down. His foot was sprained in the process of going downstairs. At the moment, it was swollen like a pig's trotter, as if the poor sneaker would burst in the next second.

At the beginning, he was talking nonsense, and no one could understand what he said. After pouring two cups of hot water, he managed to calm down.

"He said weird things to me downstairs, like 'I won't be nice to you.'"

"I was not allowed to repair the door when I got upstairs, and said I would wait, but I asked him what to wait for, and he couldn't tell."

"He also added money to me, adding 500 yuan back and forth! Comrade security guards, you said, I just repaired a door for him. If he has no ghosts in his heart, why would he give me so much money?"

"In the end, I waited until this person came up before talking about repairing. This is obviously planning to gang up and commit crimes!"

"And the eye contact between the two of them... Ouch, I can't describe it, I get goosebumps when I think about it now! If you don't believe me, I'll roll up my sleeves and show you!"

It's just nonsense.

Pei Zhenyan's temples are throbbing, but the most urgent thing now is to make up an excuse that can get rid of the murder suspicion and save his face, instead of competing for a while with this strange flower whose brain hole is slightly larger than the entire universe and whose life-saving degree reaches the level of Guinness The tongue is fast.

If he can't give a reasonable explanation, it may be difficult for him to get out of this door today.

The accusation is far from over, and the impassioned voice resounds through the office, the volume is higher and higher:

"If it weren't for my strong vigilance, I'm afraid I've been dragged into the house!"

"The murder weapon in their hands is evidence, and the evidence is as solid as a mountain!"

With the sonorous and forceful "Iron evidence is like a mountain", Pei Zhenyan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and threw the vise and screwdriver in his hand onto the desk with a bang: "I'm holding your fucking murderer... grass, no, tools, I picked it up and planned to return it to you, don’t say you don’t recognize your own things.”

The crime of attempted murder is too great. If it is true, the security and safety of the community will inevitably be questioned. The property manager hopes that all this is just a false alarm. The property manager gave Pei Zhenyan a loving look and encouraged him to tell the truth: "Little Officer, what's going on, there must be some misunderstanding, right?"

"..." Pei Zhenyan was locked by fate and fell silent for an instant.

His speechless response made the eyes of several staff members of the property gradually loosen.

"It's all messed up. I bought these tools just to repair the wardrobe. I haven't used them for several years and the hinges are not very flexible." Lu only picked up the words in a timely manner, with undisguised impatience in his voice, "Our brains are squeezed by the door. Will you do it in front of surveillance?"

we.

Pei Zhenyan found that he was no different from a startled cannon barrel now, and he almost caught Lu Zhi under a microscope to study.

"Yes, yes, yes, we also believe that this must be a misunderstanding, so we will delay your time a little and give Brother Xiumen an explanation to make him feel at ease..." the property manager comforted him with a smiling face.

Surveillance video shows that after getting out of the elevator, Lu Zhi's footsteps and body orientation are very clearly facing Xitou. The maintenance worker has to re-examine whether he has overreacted, but he does not believe that everything is just suspicious, "Even if I misunderstood you, He pointed at Pei Zhenyan unconvinced, "What about him, how does he explain?"

"..." After another long stalemate, Pei Zhenyan raised his head, with an expression of despair, "Think whatever you like."

"What did I say!? He admitted it, he admitted it himself, you all heard it!" The maintenance worker jumped up from the chair like an electric shock, "Call the police! I want to call the police!"

"Sir, don't get excited!" All the property staff in the office rushed towards the maintenance workers, those who hugged their legs, those who hugged their hands, those who snatched their mobile phones, and those who moved with emotion and reason, each performed their duties, The division of labor is clear, demonstrating the professionalism and unity of a mature team in the face of emergencies.

Lu Zhi seemed to have finally run out of patience with this farce, and left without looking back.

The moment the office door closed with a bang, Pei Zhenyan felt as if he was born again. His face was still the same, but the corners of his eyes and brows were completely alive. His attitude changed from passive resistance to activeness so quickly, it could be called schizophrenia.

"Stop arguing, it's a misunderstanding."

"Let me just say that the students of Minghui Middle School are all good students with excellent character and learning."

"Did you go home and do your homework?"

"In fact, making friends is the same as falling in love. The most important thing is character. In the future, you will learn a lot of wisdom."

Pei Zhenyan walked out of the property management office amidst a flurry of greetings, and the maintenance worker stood on one foot, grasping his hand guiltily: "How about I go upstairs and fix the door for you right now."

"No, brother." Pei Zhenyan withdrew his hand in horror, "You'd better go home early."

Outside, Lu Zhi hadn't left yet. He was standing in front of the vending machine at the door, fiddling with something. When he heard the door open, he casually glanced over.

Pei Zhenyan's flower protectors all cast condemning eyes.

"...?" Lu only successfully received the disgust revealed in everyone's eye signals, and then looked suspiciously at Pei Zhenyan.

Pei Zhenyan pretended not to know anything, and looked at the fountain lake in the distance. The fountain is closed at night, and only the sparkling water in the pool reflects the moonlight, swinging slowly in the night wind.

Lu Zhi looked very similar, but happened to be delayed by something, and happened to be ready to leave. He pointed to the vending machine, and said lightly, "If you can't scan the code, remember to report for repair", he left without waiting for a response.

His back is tall and straight, his steps are loose, and his shadow lengthens and shortens under one street lamp after another, in a constant cycle.

Pei Zhenyan didn't know how many times that thought came to him today, he was asking for peace.

This person waited outside to make sure he was safe.

When Pei Zhenyan walked to the elevator room, Lu was only waiting. The display showed that the elevator was going down, but the button for going up was not turned on.

Just one glance at Pei Zhenyan shows that this person's obsession with cleanliness remains the same as before. Elevator buttons, doorknobs, faucet switches and other things in public places can be avoided as soon as possible. If you can't avoid it, you must wash your hands after touching it.

He seldom eats the same plate of food with others, and he doesn't like people who don't have a good relationship with him to touch him at will. The whole world is dirty in his eyes.

All in all, he lived a very hard life.

The elevator stopped on the first floor, and when the people inside came out, Lu just turned sideways to avoid contact, and walked to the side without the keypad, while Pei Zhenyan took the initiative to come to the keypad and press "19" and the close button.

The whole process is smooth and natural, without deliberate arrangement, because these details of getting along have been staged countless times in the past years, and they are all too familiar with the process.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere in the elevator was not relaxed.

Pei Zhenyan took a few steps back, pressed his back against the wall of the compartment, and boredly looked at the floor display above, and the numbers increased at a constant speed.

Within sight, Lu Zhi was standing in front of him with his head half down. The mask and peaked cap blocked most of his face, but there was still a bit of mottled bruise on the edge of the mask.

The elevator went all the way to the sub-top floor in silence.

There was someone at the gate of Donghu, and the patrolling security guards were wearing the uniform of the property, and they were thinking about going to the door for the open Donghu.

A panoramic slow-motion scene slowly unfolded in front of Pei Zhenyan, enough to turn his mind back and forth. The world behind the ever-smaller door crack was warm and bright, just like the roast goose in the fantasy of a little match girl. , covered with a layer of warm and illusory holy light.

So close, yet out of reach.

The key sent by Ms. Tang is still inside. Just give him one more second, just one second, and he can stop this tragedy.

"do not……"

"boom!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, and there was no room left. Pei Zhenyan was frozen into a stiff mallet, wearing slippers, no coat, hungry and cold, and no mobile phone. As for the fingerprint lock, thanks to himself, it is still in absolute danger state of failure.

What a fucking dog——

The security guard turned around and gave him a respectful smile, but Pei Zhenyan didn't miss the strong expression on his face asking for five-star praise.

"This is your home. I yelled a few times and no one should help you close the door. It's better to close the door when you go out in the future. Although our community is safe, just in case!"

"…………"

Pei Zhenyan forgot how he squeezed out the words "thank you" from his throat at the end, and how he sent people away with a forced smile, but he will never forget the feeling of being blown to death by the draft.

At the other end of the corridor, there was the rustling sound of Lu Zhi opening the door. He entered the room and disappeared around the corner. The door was still not closed, and this time it was open. He entered the door in such a hurry that he didn't even have time to turn on the light.

Pei Zhenyan needed some time to digest the facts, sort out the plot, and think about the current situation. Not long after, he caught a glimpse of a figure walking from the back room of Xihu, holding a black coat in his hand.

If Lu just asked "what is he doing" it might just be because he was too shocked and too confused to blurt it out subconsciously, and if he went downstairs to block people, it might just be that he had a premonition that the abnormality of the maintenance worker had something to do with him, so saying "we" might It’s just that the language was not rigorous enough for a while, and waiting outside the property office might really just want to buy a drink, so the matter of handing over the coat finally has no controversy at all, and it clearly conveys the meaning of asking for peace.

In the past two years, Pei Zhenyan has gone from the initial victory of [this person will come to me in two hours], to the restless doubt of [why this person doesn’t come to me], step by step to the end, accepting [this person is really The fact that you don’t want to be brothers with me anymore].

It's finally over, the back and forth of hope and failure, the regret of losing your best friend, the self-examination of doubting whether you have really committed an unforgivable mistake, the unwillingness to be inferior to others with all your strength, and finally all It can be over.

Lu Zhi and Pei Zhenyan are the strongest brothers, they have always been like this, and they should be like this.

The scene reappeared, like every time in the past, Pei Zhenyan just stood there, stubbornly refusing to take even a step, while waiting for Lu Zhi's approach without retreating.

Lu Zhi strode to the door of the house, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor were cast from above his head, illuminating his eyes, which were obviously cold.

Suspicion arose in Pei Zhenyan's heart.

Lu just didn't move on, he just threw his jacket out vigorously, the black down jacket was wide open, and fell lightly to the ground.

And he closed the door without hesitation.
