clear road dust

At one o'clock in the morning, Shen Junhuai gently closed the bedroom door, went to the balcony and lit a cigarette.

He was delayed in the laboratory for a while and left half an hour late.

Because he thought that it would be okay for Lu Qingchen to stay a little longer at the reception, and maybe he could make like-minded friends, so he was not in a hurry.On the way to the winery, I didn't see anyone hiding in the grass by the side of the road.It wasn't until I arrived at the winery that the other party didn't answer the phone, so I was a little surprised.He didn't want to go in to find someone, so he called the person in charge of the winery and asked him to send Lu Qingchen out.However, after 5 minutes, the reply was "Mr. Lu has left".

It's not a big deal for the guests to leave halfway. The security guards are only responsible for ensuring the safety of the winery, so Shen Junhuai can't ask any further questions.He pressed the phone that he hadn't answered, and before he turned and got into the car, a security guard ran over from the gate panting: "Sir, wait a minute, are you looking for someone?"

The security said that about half an hour ago, a gentleman left without driving, and he didn’t see a car coming to pick him up. This kind of situation rarely happens. After all, few guests who came here left in such a state of embarrassment, so the security was very impressed. .

The security said the gentleman appeared to be in a very bad shape.

Shen Junhuai quickly calculated the length of the mountain road and Lu Qingchen's speed. He couldn't reach the foot of the mountain in half an hour, and he didn't see anyone on the road when he went up the mountain, so Lu Qingchen might be hiding on the side of the road, and " It's in a bad state."

He pressed the beating eyebrows, slowed down the speed of the car very low, opened the windows on both sides, and searched every corner on the side of the road.

Finally found a person in the grass half a person's height.

He was sitting with his hands wrapped around his knees, his face buried in his arms, his white shirt unfurled.After feeling the strong light, he slowly raised his head, his face was blank.When Shen Junhuai ran over to hug him, he couldn't stand up anymore.On the way back, no matter what Shen Junhuai asked, he didn't seem to hear it.

When Shen Junhuai helped him take a bath, he checked carefully, and found no trauma on his body, so the possibility of being attacked at the banquet is not high.Shen Junhuai just breathed a sigh of relief, and then found that Lu Qingchen was unable to speak.

One cigarette burned out quickly, and he lit another one.

After taking a bath, Lu Qingchen regained some energy, but very much resisted Shen Junhuai's request to go to the hospital.He insisted on putting on his pajamas and finding out a sleeping pill by himself. Usually, he would take one when he couldn't fall asleep, so it's not unusual to take another one in this situation.

Then lie down and sleep.

He didn't speak the whole time, and all his movements were stiff and slow, like an old man in his 70s or [-]s.

Two o'clock in the morning is exactly lunch time in country M with 12 time differences.

When Chester received the call from Shen Junhuai, he had just sent away the last patient.After listening to Shen Junhuai's description, he was silent for a while and said: "

This situation should be aphasia. In addition to physiological causes, major trauma, severe depression or anxiety can all cause this disease. "

"How long will it take?"

"Temporary aphasia caused by psychological reasons may recover quickly. Try not to stimulate him and keep him relaxed and relaxed." Chester said, you must see a professional doctor. If the symptoms are severe, you must consider psychological Counseling and drug treatment.

Before hanging up the phone, Chester reminded Shen Junhuai that no matter how to treat later, the key is to find out the lesion.

Lu Qingchen woke up in a dreamless whiteness.

The hustle and bustle of the reception, the auctioned paintings, and the smiling Zhan Yue, the memories of yesterday came out of my mind like a fleeting picture.He raised his hand and rubbed his temple vigorously. He was stunned for 2 minutes before realizing that he was lying on the big bed at home.

How did you come back last night?

Suddenly, Chen Xuxing's face appeared in front of him like a thunderbolt, and there was a roar in his mind, and he sat up suddenly.

Yes, he met Chen Xuxing yesterday.

Then, he remembered that he had been running and hiding somewhere until...until Shen Junhuai came.

Junhuai?

His heart sank suddenly, and the roar in his head became even worse.If Jun Huai asked, how would he explain it.

How to do?

Say you drank too much and don't remember what happened?But he didn't drink a drop.Said that he didn't wait for him, so he went down the mountain first?But it's so embarrassing...

Little by little, he recalled Shen Junhuai's performance and expression after he found him, but he seemed to have lost his memory. He only remembered some fragments, and he also remembered that he had taken sleeping pills before going to bed. With his state last night, he couldn't analyze and deal with the other person's face at all. Complicated things like facial expressions and mood changes.

Shen Junhuai sat on the single sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watched Lu Qingchen sitting on the bed whose complexion changed several times, and finally coughed lightly.

Lu Qingchen was startled, and turned his head like a frightened rabbit.He didn't notice that Shen Junhuai was sitting next to him at all, his heart was beating fast, and he just stared blankly at the man in front of him, feeling inexplicably terrified as if he was about to be punished to death.

But Shen Junhuai just walked to the bedside, stroked his hair with his palm, and said simply, "It's time for breakfast."

The two drank porridge in silence at the dining table.

There was no difficulty as expected, nor was there any doubt that people could not answer, but Lu Qingchen did not relax. The feeling of being about to be tried made him feel uneasy until he finished breakfast.

Shen Junhuai didn't say anything, his expression was calm, as usual.Before going out, I hugged him and whispered into his ear: "You were too tired yesterday, take a good rest at home today. Wait until I come back from get off work."

Lu Qingchen smiled and nodded, looking no different from usual.

If you ignore the fact that he hasn't spoken once in the morning, he does look perfectly normal.Both of them tacitly didn't mention it, and both pretended that the other didn't notice.

Shen Junhuai drove to Qiulan Mountain.

In the monitoring room, what happened to Lu Qingchen during that hour at the reception was completely presented before Shen Junhuai's eyes, even the strawberries on the cake on his plate could be clearly seen.

Zhan Yue wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth, seemingly unintentionally hugged his shoulders, and smiled to show him a guest, so he couldn't leave.

Until Chen Xuxing appeared.

From the moment Lu Qingchen saw Chen Xuxing get off the car, he took two steps back against the crowd, not because he was squeezed out by the crowd, but because he instinctively evaded after seeing something scary.If it was a stranger, it might be difficult to detect his momentary collapse and fear just from Lu Qingchen's seemingly calm face, but Shen Junhuai is not a stranger, he is familiar with every expression, habit and small movement of Lu Qingchen.

Lu Qingchen stood on the periphery of the crowd, almost unable to piece together a complete expression.He lowered his head, clenched his hands, his legs could no longer stand up straight.

It was the first time Shen Junhuai saw Lu Qingchen like this.

Through the monitoring screen, he could still feel the deep despair of the other party.

Shen Junhuai knew about Chen Xuxing. Although he didn't belong to the same circle, because of Lu Qingchen's relationship, he paid more or less attention to this person's affairs.During Lu Qingchen's university days, all he wanted was to meet Chen Xuxing. It would be an even greater honor if he was lucky enough to be taught by his idol.I remember one time, Lu Qingchen told Shen Junhuai very excitedly that his university teacher promised to recommend his paintings to Chen Xuxing, "I feel that I am about to reach the pinnacle of my life!" He laughed and shouted when he came back that day, She completely lost her usual gentle and well-behaved appearance, and was still circling around Shen Junhuai's neck.

Later...Shen Junhuai didn't remember clearly what happened afterwards. He was busy running between Nancheng and Country M at that time, and he didn't pay much attention to the children's affairs.But he could still hear about Chen Xuxing's name from Lu Qingchen's mouth. He probably knew that Lu Qingchen had finally met Chen Xuxing, and Chen Xuxing admired him very much. He also introduced several activities in the circle for him to participate in. It means to take him as an apprentice.

Later, Lu Qingchen gradually stopped mentioning Chen Xuxing.

No, Shen Junhuai thought, not gradually, but suddenly, suddenly the name Chen Xuxing no longer appeared in the conversation between Lu Qingchen and him.

The time was... a year ago.

It was another year ago, and Shen Junhuai was inexplicably sensitive at this time point.It was a year ago that Lu Qingchen became reticent, and it was a year ago that he broke up with Chen Xuxing. So, something should have happened a year ago.

Shen Junhuai's brain database searched for memories from a year ago, when they were still in Nancheng, Lu Qingchen had graduated for a year, signed a contract with a local painting company, hid at home every day to paint, and seldom went out.Half a year later, they came to Pingzhou.Lu Qingchen terminated the contract with the painting club, and deleted the contact information of almost everyone except Xiao Mo.

After leaving the city where he had lived for 23 years, he was so straightforward.

Lu Qingchen was brought to Chen Xuxing by Zhan Yue.Chen Xuxing greeted him seemingly casually, then turned and left.During the period, the two looked at each other for a short time, and the sights intersected as soon as they touched each other.However, Shen Junhuai keenly noticed a look of embarrassment flashing in Chen Xuxing's eyes.

One is a leading figure in the industry, and the other is a newcomer to the art exhibition.

One embarrassment, one fear.

Shen Junhuai walked out of the gate of the winery and made a phone call, "Help me check all the itineraries and relationships of Chen Xuxing in the past year and a half."

He extinguished the cigarette in his hand before getting into the car, with a bad idea in his mind.

But at this time, he still doesn't know that one day in the future, he would rather the bad things he guessed come true than see more cruel facts.

It was almost evening when Shen Junhuai returned home.

He opened the door, threw the car keys on the porch drawer, and lowered his head to change his slippers.Lu Qingchen trotted out of the kitchen with a shovel and said in a low voice, "You're back! The meal will be ready soon." Shen Junhuai paused as he changed his shoes, raised his head to look at him, and said yes.

Lu Qingchen trotted back to the kitchen again.

After the two had dinner, Lu Qingchen walked back and forth to clean up the dishes and clean up, looking busy.Shen Junhuai sat on the sofa and called his name.

"Don't do it, Auntie will come over and clean up together tomorrow." As he spoke, Shen Junhuai took a picture of the place beside him and motioned him to come over with eyes that could not be refused.Lu Qingchen walked over with wandering eyes, sat down, and waited for the verdict to begin.

"What happened between you and Chen Xuxing?" Shen Junhuai was silent for a moment, and then went straight to the point.

Lu Qingchen sat with his back straight, staring at the fingertips on his knees, mumbled for a while, but didn't say a word.

"I watched the surveillance, you are very afraid of him." Seeing that he didn't answer, Shen Junhuai said again, "A year ago..." He deliberately paused at this point in time, and sure enough, he saw Lu Qingchen's face change suddenly.

"A year ago, what happened?"

The roar in my head came again.

Lu Qingchen didn't know why Shen Junhuai suddenly asked such a certain question. The time and characters were all certain, the only difference was the location.He didn't know how much he knew, it was just an instinct to avoid the answers to these questions.

He spent the whole day doing psychological construction, and with Shen Junhuai's words, he was defeated in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, probably he was shaking too much, Shen Junhuai leaned over and pulled him into his arms.

"...Okay, let's talk about it later." Shen Jun hugged him, patted his back with one hand, and felt cold sweat.There was no answer to the question, so it was nothing, Shen Junhuai didn't force him anymore.

"The thinking of your geniuses is too straight." Chester received a call from Shen Junhuai again during lunch time, and he did not agree with his communication method, "He will be able to speak when you go home, which means that it made him collapse. The pressure has eased, and the best way at present is to let him stay away from the pressure first, and then find the lesion."

Shen Junhuai squeezed her finger bones, and responded to Chester's suggestion of "taking it slowly", but felt like a huge rock was pressing on her heart.
