sunk in yesterday

Guan Yuzhou was not clear about this secret door.

He didn't receive relevant information in his news network, so he didn't know where the secret door led.

But quietly distinguishing, he can still feel a weak wind hitting his hand from the gap, and behind the wall is the nanny's room. After a little analysis, he concluded that behind the door is not a room, but a room extending downward. The conclusion of the stairs.

The Xia family's old house was built in the suburbs, and there were no neighbors nearby. It was too easy to dig a basement under such a big house to avoid people's eyes and ears.

"Sir, I have a blade here, do you want to pry it..." Tan Nian pointed down and asked in a low voice.

Xia Zhuo looked at the direction he was pointing, and thought that Mrs. Bai hid the knife on her high heels, and Tan Nian also hid her sneakers. Could this be the tacit understanding of the masters?

Guan Yuzhou closed his eyes slightly, stared at the crack of the door and thought for a while.

However, at this moment, Xia Zhuo keenly caught the sound of footsteps.He could even instantly sense who the footsteps were coming from, and quickly pulled the two of them back a few steps, and hurried back to the stairs before the other party appeared, pretending to be about to go upstairs.

As expected, the person who came was an assistant.

Seeing that they were still wandering downstairs at this point, the assistant's expression changed for a moment, but when he glanced at the large pile of food Xia Zhuo was holding, the fleeting doubts turned into numbness again, "Excuse me, what's the matter?" do you need?"

Guan Yuzhou suddenly asked him, "What's the date?"

The assistant answered him without a pause: "Today is NO.12."

"……September?"

"Yes, it's September [-], my guest."

Guan Yuzhou's eyelids trembled slightly, he didn't even bother to say thank you, and took the two of them back upstairs with a cold face.

The assistant stood at the bottom of the stairs and watched them leave, his face gradually blurred with the distance.Xia Zhuo felt that even though the stairs blocked his line of sight, the sense of staring did not disappear. The other party seemed to penetrate through many obstacles and stared at him accurately.

All in all, it's a very uncomfortable feeling.

Did I know him before I lost my memory?What is the relationship with him?Is the relationship good or not?

Xia Zhuo was in a state of confusion, and he held the plastic bag tightly with his fingers until it kept making a rattling sound, as if making a little movement could calm him down.

Guan Yuzhou reached out and grabbed his wrist.

The warm body temperature passed on the skin, Xia Zhuo took a deep breath, expelled the chaotic thoughts, and turned around with a smile: "What's the matter?"

In any case, the top priority is to get out of the dreamland safely.

And he couldn't make Guan Yuzhou worry about him.

"It's okay." Guan Yuzhou shook his head. He knew Xia Zhuo too well, and he didn't know how many obstacles he encountered during their relationship, but every time Xia Zhuo would only smile in front of him, and he would pass when he was wronged and wiped a few tears. Never let him know how sad he really is.

Perhaps, as long as the two are firmly together, those sorrows are irrelevant.

When turning the corner, Xia Zhuo glimpsed the oil painting on the wall again from the corner of her eye.

From this angle, the light cast by the lamp makes the canvas reflect light, the compact facial features seem to have shifted under the subtle light perception, the pale pink skin is also covered with a layer of pale mist, and the eyes are Staring at the front, it seems like two gray glass balls.

"I really don't understand... Hanging the portrait here, won't you panic when going up and down the stairs in the middle of the night?" Xia Zhuo rubbed his eyes and shivered suddenly.The wind blowing from nowhere made the corridor chilly, and now he just wanted to get into the bed and lie flat.

Back on the third floor, Guan Yuzhou gave Tan Nian a task, "This assistant is mainly responsible for the daily life of Patriarch Xia, and will basically accompany Patriarch Xia during the day. Tomorrow, you can find a way to delay them with Yu Ziang. Xia Zhuo and I will see In case, go to the second floor or the basement."

Tan Nian nodded slightly, and responded obediently: "I know, sir."

"If something happens and Yu Ziang wants to take his friends away, then let them go." Guan Yuzhou still remembered the agreement with Yu Ziang back then.According to Tan Xiaohei's temperament, he probably executed the defector on the spot, so as not to bury himself in trouble, so he specially ordered this sentence.

"Good, good."

After closing the door of the guest room, Xia Zhuo asked, "Where is the second floor?"

"The master's bedroom is on the second floor, but I don't know the exact location, so it will take some time to find it." He had never asked Xia Zhuo about this before, and Xia Zhuo hadn't mentioned it to him much.

Xia Zhuo's room in Xia's house is on the fourth floor, and the hanging ladder leading to the roof is also on the fourth floor.But now the fourth floor is completely dark, it is obviously the most dangerous place in the whole building, and it is also likely to be the place where all secrets are buried.

"Oh." Xia Zhuo tore open a bag of soft bread, tasted it and thought it tasted good, and stuffed it into Guan Yuzhou's mouth.He enjoyed this kind of feeding very much, Guan Yuzhou cooperated and fed him for a while, filling his stomach with those small snacks.

There was no clock in the room, and there was no way of knowing what time it was.

After a bag of bread was consumed, Xia Zhuo licked the butter on his fingertips, and suddenly thought that there was no watch but a telephone, and the time was marked on the screen of the landline?He stretched his neck to look, but the screen was dark, and no matter how he touched it, there was no response.

Is it broken?He tried pressing the pound key.

Only a second later, a somewhat distorted voice sounded from the receiver: "May I ask what you need?"

Xia Zhuo calmly hung up the microphone again to restore the cleanliness of the ears.

Well, not bad.

But he really didn't want to listen to the assistant's speech, as soon as he heard it, he would recall the uncomfortable feeling.

After washing up, the two went back to bed and lay down.As the distance got closer, Guan Yuzhou noticed that his eyelids were unnaturally red. In retrospect, Xia Zhuo had rubbed his eyes a lot during the night, so he couldn't help reaching out and touching them, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"

Xia Zhuo's eyelashes trembled, and a murmur came out of his mouth, "Well... wasn't it always in a very dark place before? Maybe it's been too long, and now I feel uncomfortable when there is light."

Guan Yuzhou frowned, and he lifted Xia Zhuo's eyelids lightly. The originally white eyeballs had been rubbed bloodshot, and there were streaks of blood inside.

"pain?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"to be frank."

"...a little bit."

"What else do you feel besides pain?"

"I don't feel anything else." Xia Zhuo didn't take this trivial matter to heart, because the slight tingling pain was too insignificant compared to the previous injuries, he said slowly: "Just sleep and it will be fine."

Guan Yuzhou stared at him for a long time, Xia Zhuo looked back innocently, how pitiful he looked against the red eyes like rabbits.

"You... Forget it. Go to sleep." Guan Yuzhou turned down the light to the lowest level, and took advantage of the situation to hug him tightly.

Xia Zhuo was so tired that he wanted to rest long before he went downstairs, but now he was unconscious as soon as he closed his eyes, saving Guan Yuzhou the trouble of coaxing him.

He slept soundly, but Guan Yuzhou was very energetic, thinking about the date of September [-] over and over again in his mind.

According to the plot, they need to stay here for three days to celebrate Xia Hong's birthday.

But Xia Zhuo committed suicide on the night of September 15th.

Guan Yuzhou hugged him stiffly, darkness covered most of his face, covering up his expression.It wasn't until Xia Zhuo hummed twice in his sleep that he regained his sanity like breaking free from a nightmare.

His throat seemed to be stuffed with a raging flame, and a simple swallow would cause a pain in his throat. He realized that his breathing was heavy, so he quickly closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, lest the person in his arms would be awakened by him.

It's ok……

He slowly kissed Xia Zhuo's forehead.

If Xia Hong dares to bully you again this time, then I will kill him.Not only Xia Hong, I will take care of everyone who treats you badly.

Thinking like this, Guan Yuzhou's eyes were slowly filled with gloom.He looked at the endless darkness outside the window through Xia Zhuo's undulating hair as he breathed steadily.

Early the next morning, Xia Zhuo naturally woke up.

The exhaustion of the body has been relieved to the greatest extent, but the soreness on the legs is more obvious than yesterday, which is the sequelae of overuse.

He first realized that his side was empty, so he slowly opened his eyes, but his vision was blurred, and he couldn't see clearly the pillows that were close at hand.He froze for a moment, squeezed his eyes hard, and a shuddering chill crept up his back, but he soon breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked carefully again, everything became clear again, the distorted picture just now seemed like A hallucination.

It's okay, I thought I was really blind.

There was a slight sound of water in the bathroom, Xia Zhuo stretched comfortably, planning to get out of bed to find Guan Yuzhou.He just stood up straight, but a sense of dizziness swept over him, causing him to stagger and hold on to the bedside table, almost falling directly.

This feeling of powerlessness is not unfamiliar, and he hasn't experienced it for a long time.

Just as he was stunned, the phone at hand rang suddenly, and the jingle jingle was very ear-piercing.Successive problems made him feel uneasy, he resisted the panic and answered: "Hello?"

"..." There was a strange silence.

The sound of water next door stopped, but Guan Yuzhou did not come out for a long time.Xia Zhuo glanced at the screen of the landline, it was still blank, and it did not show that she was on a call.He pursed his lips, said "Hello" again, and hung up the phone resolutely after receiving no response within a few seconds.

After standing by the bed for a while, the bathroom door was still closed.

He noticed the weirdness, and carefully observed the room, but found nothing different, even the plastic bag thrown into the trash can last night remained in the same posture.

"Guan Yuzhou." He called out without emotion, his eyes scanning every corner vigilantly.

No one answered.

If it wasn't Guan Yuzhou, then what was it that made the movement in the bathroom?

He grabbed the lamp and walked a few steps over there.

jingle - jingle -

As soon as he turned around, the phone rang again.

He squinted at the past, with no intention of picking it up.The ringing continued for a long time, completely exceeding the normal ringing time. It seemed that if he didn't answer it, he would keep ringing like this.

Xia Zhuo had no choice but to pick up the handset again, "Hello?"

"..." There was still silence on the other side.

Xia Zhuo glanced at the telephone line, thinking that it would be better to break it.

But before he could make a move, the sound of heavy breathing came to his ears one step at a time, one after another, indicating how heavy the mood of the owner of the sound was at this time.

Xia Zhuo said impatiently: "If you fart, let it go."

Almost at the same time, a familiar voice called Guan Yuzhou's name.

Xia Zhuo was stunned, "Who?"

The opposite party paused for a few seconds, as if they were mentally prepared, "Let's break up."

Xia Zhuo's face drooped instantly: "Say it again, who did you break up with?"

The other side ignored him, and said to himself in the occasional noise: "I have wanted to mention it to you for a long time. We have been together for a long time, and I have no interest in you. And you know that I am the heir, how can it be possible?" spend the rest of my life with you?"

Xia Zhuo's knuckles holding the receiver turned abnormally bluish-white.

He suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation squeezing his chest cavity, his own voice could no longer be heard clearly, and the dead silence drowned out the clogged breathing and screaming in his throat.

The feeling of dizziness surged up again, and he bit his mouth decisively, but he couldn't restrain the temptation.All the colors are moving away from him, the surrounding scene appears to be distorted again, the pulse hidden under the thin skin is also sucked away, and only the voice is left whispering softly:

"……I do not love you anymore……"

The sky outside the window was gray and there was nothing to see.

The light clothes were drenched with sweat, and the biting cold froze his nerves along his back.Xia Zhuo's knees softened, and when he fell, his waist slammed into the corner of the low cabinet. The severe pain instantly attacked his numb senses, and he woke up suddenly.

The panic didn't subside completely, but the phone was hung up by the other party at some point, leaving only bursts of busy tones reminding him of the passage of time.

Xia Zhuo regained his footing, the strong nausea in his stomach made him want to vomit, and he forcefully held back.

His eyes were flushed red, and his pale face looked a little scary. He almost suppressed his anger and deep sorrow and threw the receiver back. A few lines of date and time on the blank screen disappeared like fireworks.

——2017/06/1309:56

The assistant mentioned yesterday that the dream was in September, but this call was made three months ago.

He stood in a daze for a while, raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his face, dragged his heavy limbs around the messy bed, and walked to the door of the bathroom.

Tee, Tee.

He knocked twice on the door with his knuckles, and his hands hidden behind him clenched the bracket of the desk lamp tightly.

The door was unlocked, and the handle turned an arc effortlessly.

As the door opens inward, a space that does not see through any light is revealed.

Everything in front of me was completely different from what I saw last night. It was more like entering another bedroom from one bedroom. The wall skin on the top of the head and on both sides had fallen off, and a decayed smell came over my face.

Suddenly, he frowned, and there was a strong smell of blood slowly wafting through the air, making it impossible to ignore.

A sense of ominous premonition struck Xia Zhuo's first reaction, whether Guan Yuzhou was injured. He was in a state of confusion for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he had already entered the extra room.

A man in a white coat was sitting against the wall, his head drooping lifelessly on his chest, the top and hem of his shirt had been stained red with blood, and he looked shocking.His legs were stretched out straight, and the blood flowed slowly along the shoes on the ground. After careful observation, it was found that a knife had been deeply stabbed into his abdomen, and the knife seemed to kill him.

Xia Zhuo got closer, and the stronger smell made him feel his stomach churning, and he had to cover his mouth and nose to stop breathing.

Although his face cannot be seen, there is a plastic name tag hanging around his neck with the words "Psychotherapist-Feng Yongxin" written on it, and his ID photo on a white background shows a very friendly face.

He seemed to recognize this person, and it seemed to be the first time he had seen him.

...are they Aboriginal?

Xia Zhuo involuntarily reached out to touch the photo, wanting to see it more clearly.

Just halfway through, he suddenly met a pair of eyes.The man with his head bowed was looking straight at him, but suddenly the corners of his lips were pulled up into a smile, and his out-of-focus pupils were full of ghostly aura.

This weird smile made Xia Zhuo's alarm ring loudly, and a sense of danger climbed up the back of his head at the same time.

--Oops!

Xia Zhuo jumped back and decisively slapped the desk lamp on his face.

The glass lampshade was shattered immediately, but Feng Yongxin didn't feel any pain. Even though his face was bleeding, the arc of his smile was still widening, almost reaching the ears.

He showed his pale teeth to Xia Zhuo, and a strange sound like bone rubbing came from his throat, "Heck...young master...you've already killed me once...do you want to kill me a second time?"
