Under the clouds

"Why are the leaves turning yellow, you don't look hard enough."

"What about you, didn't you just put expensive nutritious soil on you, and your head is still drooping, isn't it hard to support these little flower buds?"

perm

"I don't forget to water you every day..."

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zang Lanbai stood on the balcony of his living room, holding a watering can in his hand, chatting tirelessly with those shy flowers and plants who were not very up to date.

It was almost 08:30, and his lecture time was over. When he came out of the balcony and walked to the living room and passed the refrigerator, he ticked off the sticky note on the refrigerator, watering the flowers at eight o'clock.

At this moment, Zang Lanbai's cell phone rang. It was his old friend Luo Yan whom he had contacted in the past two days.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Luo Yan sounded a little sleepy, as if he had just woken up and called him.

After saying a few words over there, Zang Lanbai refused almost without hesitation: "You guys play, I won't go, my doctor told me to rest quietly for a while before I was discharged from the hospital, to avoid emotional ups and downs, then The place is too noisy."

Luo Yan didn't seem to give up: "What's the matter, I've been hiding for so long since I came back and didn't tell anyone, now I'm asking you to come out and hide your son's face, isn't it?"

Zang Lanbai relaxed his tone: "This time is inconvenient."

"Why is it inconvenient? You can't be..." Luo Yan's ending sound suddenly became a little ambiguous.

"I took home a puppy, the environment is not very familiar, and I can't live without people."

Luo Yan was taken aback: "What!? You keep pets? Don't you find these cats and dogs the most troublesome..."

Before Luo Yan finished speaking, Zang Lanbai suddenly got another call. Zang Lanbai looked at the number on it and estimated the time. It should be that his breakfast ordered in the morning has arrived.

"I have something to do, let's not talk about it." Zang Lanbai hung up neatly on the phone to Luo Yan, who was still yelling.

After calling back the boy who delivered the meal, he found out that the boy who delivered the meal was taken out of the community by the property management because he was not wearing work clothes.

Zang Lanbai really didn't know the property's phone number, so he had to go downstairs.

He came to his floor with the beautifully packaged meal and unlocked it with his fingerprints. As soon as he entered the door, he was stared at the tip of his knife.

This is the third day that the puppy came to his house, and Zang Lanbo has already mastered his daily routine.

The puppy is going to sleep in. He will wake up around nine o'clock in the morning.

And now on the post-it sticker on the refrigerator, there is no trace on the column for breakfast at nine o'clock.

There may be no more traces today.

00397's whole body was tense, big beads of sweat overflowed from his forehead, and the hair on his forehead was wet. He seemed to be trapped in some kind of nightmare, even though he was opening his eyes wide. His eyes were full of fear and panic. After Zang Lanbai came in, he seemed to be stimulated, screamed piercingly, and waved the fruit knife in his hand at Zang Lanbai in a random manner.

Zang Lanbai retreated again and again, but there was not much room for him to hide in the entrance.

00397 in front of him seemed to be in a state of some kind of illness attack. Hysteria came up, and he cursed Zang Lanbai in a trembling voice that seemed to be extremely terrified: "Go to death! Go to death! You... all go to death... Killed...killed you..."

The breakfast in Zang Lanbai's hands was scattered all over the floor, and the soup soaked the blanket he had laid to reduce the damage to 00397's knees.

00397 looks very aggressive on the surface. When Zang Lanbai came in, he was unprepared, so he was caught off guard and retreated. At this moment, the meal was also scattered, and Zang Lanbai's hands were free, and his figure was taller than 00397. More than a tiny bit.

After all, 00397 is still in the thin category. With such a difference in body shape and 00397's very irrational and unconscious mental state, Zang Lanbai took a neutral position when he swung the knife, and twisted his wrist with the other hand, holding the knife snatched it down.

Unexpectedly, 00397, stimulated by such actions, became even crazier, like a wounded little animal forced to the edge of a cliff, he was still cursing, his voice was too high and sharp, and after the sound broke, it became hoarse.

Zang Lanbai stepped forward and hugged 00397 who kept punching and kicking him.

00397 resisted fiercely. After getting closer, Zang Lanbai saw his eyeballs trembling at a very high frequency under the eyelids. Tears flowed from his eyes, but the pupils were not focused, and the light was scattered.

Zang Lanbai began to notice the subtle changes in 00397, and called out tentatively: "Fang Mu?"

Fang Mu, who had been struggling, froze suddenly for a moment, but soon returned to that hysterical state, and the curses in his mouth seemed to be poisoned.

However, Fang Mu's vocabulary for swearing is quite lacking, and he always swears repeatedly like "Go to hell, kill you, beast".

Zang Lanbai firmly pressed him on his shoulder. Fang Mu seemed to be extremely resistant to any touch on his body, but his strength was no match for Zang Lanbai.

Zang Lanbai's shoulder in thin pajamas was bitten by Fang Mu's mouth. He was very sure that Fang Mu would spare no effort. kill.

"Okay, okay Fang Mu...It's okay...No one hurts you more...Okay, Fang Mu..." Zang Lanbai stroked Fang Mu's trembling back for 10 minutes Only then did Fang Mu let go, and Zang Lanbai's shoulders were overflowing with blood soon after Fang Mu left.

Fang Mu seemed to be calmer than before, but the trembling of his eyeballs had not stopped. He moved away from the warm body in front of him, raised his head to identify carefully, but he couldn't see anything clearly, he couldn't see the face, only A tall body belonging to an adult male can be seen, but the face is a flesh-colored vortex that is constantly rotating.

Fang Mu stared at it for a long time, and his stomach began to turn upwards one after another. He still had some fear that had not dissipated, but when he stopped attacking and slowly retreated, the man in front of him did not approach, but quietly looking at him.

There is only this one male here, Fang Mu's eyes rolled around, he didn't find the second spinning face.

He closed his eyes for a moment, shook his head, paused for a few seconds, and then opened them again.

Suddenly, the face of the man in front of Fang Mu appeared.

Zang Lanbai's hair is long, thick and black, falling below the waist and above the hips.He has a deep outline, a high bridge of nose, light eyes, and perfect lips.With such long hair, even if it is let down, it doesn't make people feel any femininity. When he is not smiling, he is a bit cold and sharp.

Fang Mu felt that the outline of his eyebrows and eyes had a bit of mixed blood.

Fang Mu stared blankly at Zang Lanbai, at the scattered meals at his feet, at the bloodstains on his shoulders.

He stiffened his head, and his eyes slowly moved to the knife that fell on the ground.

"Who are you?" Fang Mu asked with a trembling voice.

Zang Lanbai didn't answer right away, he looked at Fang Mushui's pale face, and then replied: "Cohabitation partner."

Fang Mu seemed a little surprised by Zang Lanbai's answer, and retorted in a hurry: "Lie!"

"Oh? You know? How much do you remember?" Zang Lanbai began to walk towards him.

As Zang Lanbai gradually approached, Fang Mu's relaxed body became tense again. Zang Lanbai looked at him like a cat that was slowly blowing up, and turned back as if sighing. , Pick up the fruit knife from the ground.

Zang Lanbai's arm was scratched two centimeters, and now there was a big bloodstain on his arm.

Fang Mu's eyes were fixed on the knife in Zang Lanbai's hand, and the hands hanging on both sides of his body suddenly tightened into fists.

Just when he thought that Zang Lanbai was angry and wanted to take revenge on himself, Zang Lanbai held the handle of the knife, but the tip of the knife was facing him, turned his backhand, and handed it to Fang Mu.

Fang Mu smelled an elegant fragrance, and then Zang Lanbai spoke: "If you are really scared, just take it."

Fang Mu lost his reaction, and Zang Lanbo stuffed the knife into his hand.

After Zang Lanbai handed the knife to Fang Mu, he didn't observe his expression any more. After passing by him, he went straight into the bedroom.

Zang Lanbai simply disinfected and bandaged the wound by himself. While disinfecting the wound on his shoulder overflowing with blood, his always smiling face finally returned to a state of expressionlessness.

It was a very inexplicable feeling. Although he understood that Fang Mu was suffering from hysteria and was in a state of irrationality and insensitivity, he still felt it. It was similar to the sadness of being bitten back by a domestic pet that was raised with all its heart.

And obviously, neither 00397 nor Fang Mu had any previous memories of him.

This somewhat made Zang Lanbai feel a long-lost frustration.

After Zang Lanbai dealt with the wound and his emotions, it took almost 10 minutes before he pushed the door out of the bedroom.

Fang Mu still maintained the posture he had just before Zang Lanbai entered the bedroom. He stood there, his limbs were stiff, and he was holding the fruit knife in both hands.

Zang Lanbai saw that as soon as he came out, his eyes circled around him again, and ignored him, as if he was afraid of irritating him again.

The food spilled on the plush carpet was no longer easy to clean up, so Zang Lanbai sent a message directly to the merchant, asking them to send another one.

After Zang Lanbai dealt with the carpet, he opened the refrigerator and took out some eggs and toast.

Standing in the living room, Fang Mu heard the sound of fire in the kitchen.

In 10 minutes, Zang Lanbai made a simple breakfast and brought out boiled milk.

He shouted to Fang Mu, who was still standing there like a humanoid sculpture: "Come and eat, if you delay for a while, it will be time for lunch."

Fang Mu walked to the dining table with numb feet, and the fruit knife in his hand made a soft sound when it was placed on the table.

Zang Lanbai looked over, Fang Mu lowered his head, lowered his eyelashes, and whispered: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zang."

It seems that Fang Mu is aware of what 00397 experienced, but he doesn't know how much he can realize.

Fang Mu had no appetite at all, the cold sweat on his body was cold, and the pajamas were a little sticky against his body.

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you..." Fang Mu kept saying sorry to Zang Lanbai anxiously.

Zang Lanbai replied: "It's okay." He urged him to have breakfast.

Although Fang Mu had no appetite, he didn't dare to make an expression of reluctance or behave in a way that didn't follow Zang Lanbai's wishes under this situation.

Zang Lanbai left home after having another meal with Fang Mu at noon.

He drove out to a doctor he used to see in China. After chatting with the doctor for an hour and a half, Zang Lanbai described Fang Mu's condition in detail and showed Fang Mu's appearance at noon today when he fell ill. Zang Lanbai returned home before the sun went down.

After returning this time, Zang Lanbai walked lightly into the bedroom without pointing at his knife point, and saw Fang Mu lying on the bed with his legs in a daze.

Fang Mu was quite restless and restless when he was having dinner.

00397 will only release "Fang Mu" when he feels safe and comfortable, but Fang Mu is too timid and has suffered a lot of trauma, sometimes he will be haunted by nightmares, and he will do harmful and aggressive behaviors.

It was the same when he was taken back by the boss of Jin's Pharmaceutical last time, except that that time 00397 spent a full month with the other party before releasing "Fang Mu", but he was caught by this handsome Mr. It took only three days to bring it back, but 00397 had already trusted him, and he must be very nice to 00397 to be like this.

Fang Mu checked his body in the afternoon, and there were no scars on it. It can be seen that this benefactor has no habit of abusing others in bed, and he has such a face.

For Fang Mu, this is really rare.

But all of this was messed up by Fang Mu, his eyes flickered back and forth on Zang Lanbai's shoulder and injured arm, and Zang Lanbai could easily detect such obvious and frightened prying.

But Zang Lanbai was also distracted thinking about what his doctor said to him today, and the other party suggested that Zang Lanbai bring Fang Mu in person, so that he could make a more accurate diagnosis.

He didn't make fun of Fang Mu's gaze. When the two of them were sleeping at night, he looked at Fang Mu standing on the carpet beside the bed and said, "Come and sleep on the bed."

Fang Mu seemed to be waiting for him to speak, he climbed up quickly and leaned into Zang Lanbai's arms.

Zang Lanbai seemed a little unaccustomed to the act of throwing himself into the arms of the man who was holding a knife to kill him this morning, he was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand to stroke Fang Mu's back of the head.

At this time, he heard Fang Mu ask worriedly: "Mr. Zang, will you send me back?"

Zang Lanbai's eyes met Fang Mu's rounder almond eyes in the dark. It turned out that the melancholy eyes that had fallen on him since dinner were not worried about his injury, but were afraid of it.

Zang Lanbai suddenly had bad thoughts and wanted to tease him, but the fear in Fang Mu's eyes became more and more obvious, and he finally replied softly: "No."

Fang Mu also refuted the "deception" in his heart, and the previous benefactor who entrusted him also said the same. On the night Fang Mu smashed his head, he did not blame Fang Mu, and even After Fang Mu woke up, he said a few words of comfort in a soft voice.

But since that day, Fang Mu stayed in the single-family villa in the outer suburbs for a long time, and he was unable to see him again.

Immediately afterwards, he was returned to the auction house.

Think about it, who would want to spend a lot of money to buy something that will go crazy and hurt people at every turn.

On the contrary, those customers who treat 00397 badly have not been harmed by "Fang Mu". In the hands of those who regard 00397 as a simple humanoid pet, 00397 is expensive and has never been returned.

This fact is ironic and cruel.

This caused Fang Mu to feel a distorted sense of despair when facing Zang Lanbai. Despite Zang Lanbai's firm answer, he still couldn't generate any trust, and even begged and said: "Please, Mr. Zang , don’t return me, please, I will behave obediently in the future.”

Zang Lanbai frowned, and he said again: "I have already said that I will not send you back, you are too tired today, can you close your eyes and go to sleep now?"

Fang Mu turned a deaf ear to these words, and in the end she shed tears with despair, and said as if resigned to fate: "Then can the staff of the auction house come to pick me up before I wake up?"

It's a bit like begging for one last good night's sleep.

Zang Lanbai sighed many times today, he hugged Fang Mu and kissed his tearful eyes twice, and murmured: "I'm really sick."
