Confession

With a bang, Jiang Yang didn't hold the wine glass firmly, and the glass fell heavily on the table with a loud noise. The dark red wine juice spilled on the snow-white tablecloth, spreading quickly, like frozen blood.

The person in charge of the negotiation of the film and television company smiled when he saw this, "Xiao Jiang, are you drunk? You can't drink enough."

Jiang Yang smiled, "Yes, I had a lot of dubbing work before, and I drank less, so my drinking capacity has dropped."

The person in charge teased: "Then your drinking capacity may not be up. After today's business is settled, there will be a lot of work waiting for you."

Jiang Yang took the new glass handed over by the waiter, poured wine for himself again, stood up and continued with the unfinished toast, and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will make good use of it and live up to you expectations."

"The opportunity was won by myself," the person in charge said, "Your voice is very distinctive, and it is different from the leading male voices on the market today. I am very optimistic about you. It will be a matter of time before you become popular in this circle, let alone There is A Liang's recommendation."

Jiang Yang often hangs out in bars, and handles the wine table culture very well. He can coax them into a daze with a few words, with a smile on his face, and with the addition of alcohol, the atmosphere is very harmonious.

After toasting a round of wine, Jiang Yang had the time to sit down and eat two mouthfuls of food.

The tablecloth in front of him was stained red with red wine, the beige dark lines were clearly visible, and the deep red set off a bit of seductiveness, like some kind of unlucky totem.

Jiang Yang's eyebrows twitched, and he was inexplicably flustered.

He couldn't tell why, whether it was affected by alcohol, his heart beat fast, and he felt a faint feeling of uneasiness.

Jiang Yang glanced at his phone, 20:08.

The lock screen is clean, without any redundant messages.

He took a sip of lemonade, slipped into the toilet under the pretext of going to the bathroom, and opened WeChat.

Jiang Yang has a lot of groups, including the work group, classmate group, eating, drinking and playing group, and Jin Congyun’s buddies group, each group has a flashing red dot, if it weren’t for the message Do Not Disturb, the 99+ notification would have been long ago Blow up your phone.

He didn't look at the group news, but clicked on the top message, and the message was still on the breakfast picture he sent Lin Xu in the morning.

A whole day passed, but Lin Xu didn't send any news.

Jiang Yang frowned slightly, feeling a little abnormal.

Ever since they got together, Jiang Yang discovered that Lin Xu seemed to be independent, but he was actually very insecure in his heart, and he was very dependent on him in this relationship.

Phone calls and WeChat are indispensable, and they will be sent in the morning, noon and evening, especially this time when he is on a business trip, Lin Xu will make a video call every night, then put the phone on the bedside, and the two of them will fall asleep looking at the screen. When I woke up in the morning, my phone was as hot as a brick.

In this regard, the young couple enjoyed it.

But there was no news today, which is completely out of line with Lin Xu's normal behavior.

The dinner here is not over yet, Jiang Yang is the protagonist today, he can't stay in the toilet for too long, so he took the initiative to send a message to Lin Xu, asking him if he didn't eat, then put away his phone, went to the toilet by the way, and walked out of the bathroom.

This time Jiang Yang met the main person in charge of selecting the voice actors. They hold the power of life and death in their hands who can participate in the recording. Chinese-style favors are often more important than real strength.

You can be incompetent, but you can't understand interpersonal relationships.

If you have the ability and the ability to adapt to changes in dealing with interpersonal relationships, that will be the icing on the cake.

So Jiang Yang played with them until early in the morning, went to KTV and had supper, and then sent them back to the hotel very modestly before leaving.

In this regard, the people in charge are very satisfied with Jiang Yang's performance, let alone his strength.

Before Jiang Yang left, the fat man was so drunk that he pulled him and said "heart-to-heart" for a while, so that Jiang Yang could go back and wait for the notification of joining the group, and said that the person recommended by Ah Liang would definitely be right. .

Jiang Yang smiled and helped him back to the room before leaving.

After working all night, it was already three o'clock in the morning when Jiang Yang returned to his hotel and could lie down. He didn't have any energy to wash up when he went back, and he fell asleep in bed.

When his mind was half asleep, he suddenly remembered something. He fumbled for his phone and opened his eyes with difficulty. He clicked on WeChat and looked at it. The top frame was still quiet. It has been seven hours since he ate. , Lin Xu didn't reply a single message.

If it is more than ten hours since yesterday morning's breakfast photos, Lin Xu has no news, as if the world has disappeared.

The uneasiness that was about to be diluted in Jiang Yang's heart swept over again. He was alone in the quiet room, and the surroundings were silent.

Jiang Yang immediately dialed a wechat call.

Normally at this time, Lin Xu was still typing, and would never sleep, let alone not reply to his messages.

WeChat calls went unanswered.

Jiang Yang frowned, and called again, but still no one answered.

He turned to dial the number in the mobile phone communication, but he heard a cold notification tone: "The phone you dialed has been turned off..."

Jiang Yang immediately sat up from the bed, realizing the seriousness of the matter, his face was heavy, and his lips were tightly pursed into a line.

It's too abnormal, completely out of contact, Lin Xu would never be like this normally.

But after thinking about it, sometimes it is normal for the mobile phone to be too late to charge. If it is just because of this, I start to worry about whether it will be too much of a fuss.

Jiang Yang's mood was very anxious, distracted, and the feeling of palpitation became more and more serious. His heart was beating very fast, which was a strange kind of palpitation.

He poured himself a glass of ice water to relieve his overly anxious mood.

It's not like Jiang Yang didn't notice Lin Xu's pathological dependence since they dated.

People in love will have uneasy emotions, which is normal. One heart is completely devoted to another person, and every move of the other person is involved in the heartstrings. While giving affection, we also hope to get the same feedback.

But Lin Xu was too disturbed. Jiang Yang found out many times that as long as he didn't hold Lin Xu to sleep at night, Lin Xu would definitely have nightmares, sweating profusely, and talking inaudible dreams.

Even if they were lying on the same bed and covered with the same quilt, once there was no physical contact, Lin Xu would fall into a nightmare.

But the next morning when I asked him what dream he had, he said he couldn't remember it.

I don't know if Lin Xu concealed it on purpose or if he really forgot.

And in the normal relationship, Lin Xu wished he could be a humanoid pendant and put it on Jiang Yang's body at any time. At first, Jiang Yang thought he was quite coquettish, but he gradually realized that it was actually Lin Xu who would not let anyone get close to him. Opportunity.

Lin Xu longed for his embrace, yearned for his body temperature, and asked for his kiss.

Because of this, Lin Xu felt so reluctant and sad when he learned that the two of them would be separated for three days, like a person who suddenly lost drugs and couldn't bear the itch from his soul.

Jiang Yang is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very sensitive to emotions, Lin Xu is different from the people he used to date, Jiang Yang sees all of his abnormality, affection and dependence, and knows it well.

He was also taken away by Lin Xu's emotions, but he couldn't get through the phone or receive a reply, so he began to worry about gains and losses, and became flustered.

After drinking ice water, Jiang Yang's palpitations improved slightly, and he felt sleepy physically, but psychologically he had no desire to fall asleep.

He called again, but the phone was still turned off, and no message was returned.

Jiang Yang sighed heavily, and a fire ignited in his body, which made his heart flustered. It was the first time that he wanted to see someone so desperately, and it was also the first time he felt the feeling of worry.

He opened the booking app to check the nearest flight.

The original plan was to book a flight ticket at [-] pm, because there was an interview with the two main characters of the "Chess Pieces" radio drama in the morning, which will be put on the platform later, which is equivalent to doing publicity.

The itinerary for these three days is full, and there is no free time. It is unrealistic to change the ticket at this time, after all, I still have work in hand.

Jiang Yang threw the phone aside, and pressed on his temple, which kept hurting.

He hasn't drank for a long time, and his alcohol consumption seems to have really declined. He only drank two bottles of red wine tonight, and his head has been hurting until now.

The physical drowsiness was still irresistible. Jiang Yang fell asleep in a daze while waiting for Lin Xu's news. It felt like he just closed his eyes for a short time. When he woke up again, he was awakened by the sound of the phone.

The incoming call sound that he has been accustomed to for a long time is abnormally harsh, which makes Jiang Yang's heart twitch violently for a moment, and his body twitches subconsciously, as if he was walking in the sky and suddenly fell off a cliff. A cold sweat broke out, and a hand invisibly grabbed the heart, twisting it sore and numb.

Jiang Yang thought it was Lin Xu's call back, endured the discomfort in his chest and quickly sat up to get his phone, but there was an unfamiliar call on the screen.

He breathed calmly, connected to the phone, "Hello?"

"Is it Jiang Yang?" There was an anxious male voice on the other end of the phone, "I'm Yang Xiaoling, Lin Xu's younger brother, do you remember me? Last time we met at the mall."

Jiang Yang frowned, listening to his anxious voice, the anxiety in his heart became more and more serious, "Well, I remember, hello."

"Where are you now? Are you with Lin Xu?!"

"No, I came to Nandu City for business." Jiang Yang's voice became dry, "What happened?"

Yang Xiaoling froze for a moment, and was about to cry, "Are you not here? Such a big thing happened, and you were not with him?! I went to his house this morning and knocked on the door all morning, but no one opened. I thought you Take him out!"

"...Fortunately, I made a phone call." Yang Xiaoling panicked, confused, "Do you know the password of his house? Give me one quickly. I want to go into the house and take a look. The things that happened back then can't happen again." ..."

"What happened?!" Jiang Yang lost his patience with trembling fingers, and shouted at Yang Xiaoling, "What happened to Lin Xu?!"

"Don't you go online?! Your boyfriend is an author, don't you care about the literary circle at all?!" Yang Xiaoling's emotions were also very out of control, and he said in a loud voice, "You should know about Guo Shule, right? Someone is Going through the old accounts on the Internet, I found Xiao Xu's pen name and accused him of plagiarism! Now the whole Internet is scolding him!"

The wind from Yang Xiaoling's side was loud, and he was breathing heavily. He should be running in big strides, speaking quickly and anxiously, "Because of this Xiaoxu, he suffered from severe depression, and even committed suicide by cutting his wrists. He saved his life, I'm afraid something will happen to him again!"

Depression, wrist slitting suicide.

A white light exploded in Jiang Yang's mind, his eyes turned black, and his fingers tightened suddenly.

A strong impact hit his brain, and the peripheral nerves throbbed violently. The long scar on Lin Xu's wrist and the smile he always showed when he faced him flashed before his eyes.

It's not that Jiang Yang didn't suspect that Lin Xu suffered from the death of his parents, the betrayal of his friends, and the breakup. Anyone's spirit would be stretched to a limit. From the time he saw the long scar on Lin Xu's wrist, and then he learned that Lin Xu Xu's five-year experience has more or less got the answer in his heart.

But now that the truth has been confirmed, he was still caught off guard and even untenable.

"I'm going to Lin Xu's house now," Yang Xiaoling said, "Tell me the password!"

"816627." Jiang Yang's voice was hoarse, and every breath was extremely difficult, "You keep in touch with me, I will book the nearest flight back immediately, it will arrive at about ten o'clock in the morning, and you will watch him until I come back."

"I know!"

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yang immediately went to change the ticket, and left in a hurry with his suitcase. After getting on the bus, he sent a message to Xing Xing and the others in the group, saying that he had something urgent to go back, and he would be absent from the morning schedule, please They help out.

Just after the message was sent, another strange call came in. Jiang Yang didn't look carefully, thinking that Yang Xiaoling had told Lin Xu bad news, so he answered it without thinking.

It is indeed bad news, but it is not Lin Xu's——

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang Yangjiang?"

"I'm."

"We are here at Fuyubao Pet Hospital. Since we have been unable to contact Mr. Lin, we want to ask you."

"what happened?"

"When Mr. Lin sent Lele here last night, Lele had died. We want to ask, what do you want to do with the dog's body? We can handle both cremation and burial. It's hot now, It is easy to rot if left for a long time.”

"..."

Jiang Yang closed his eyes and tried his best to control his emotions with all his patience.

In just a few seconds, he clearly heard the sound of the world shattering.

Even though it was midsummer, he felt a biting cold.

--------------------

Yes, Xu Xu used to be severely depressed. You can more or less guess the scars on your wrists, taking medicine, and the state of depression and depression from time to time in the early stage.

The number Jiang Yang left at the pet hospital before (Chapter 33) was also a foreshadowing, and he wanted to use it here.
