Strangers Ten Years Later

Later, recalling the details of coming out that day, Lin Jin's memory was a little fuzzy.

The diary was written by him since he was a child. When he was a child, he wrote about daily life, which was irrelevant. It was not until he became the same table with Ye Ziyuan that the number of words in the diary was filled. He would use [-] words for a thousand words. To describe leaf elements.

In the third year of high school, after experiencing what happened to Liu Yan, Lin Jin seriously wrote down the four words "I like you" in his diary.

In the diary, there are not only all his youth, but also all his affection for Ye Ziyuan.

In the end, the mother's hysteria and collapse caused the diary to be shattered and scattered all over the ground. The watch that Ye Ziyuan gave him, which he regarded as a treasure, fell to pieces, just like him and his wife. Mother's affection.

After a whole night of tossing around, the house was in a mess. They all seemed to be tired, but none of them would give in. Lin Jin was originally a person who preferred softness to toughness. Others were hard, and he was tougher than others.

At the end of the quarrel, the mother pushed him out of the house with a blank face, and said every word: "You go, I will be it, I have never given birth to a son like you."

Lin Jin didn't even have time to call out "Mom", the door was closed heavily, and it never opened for him again in the following seven years.

In the first two or three years, he would come back every Chinese New Year, or call to say hello, but no matter how much he knocked on the door, his mother would not open it, and no matter how much he called, his mother would not answer. Not only did she change the lock, but later He even changed his number, so he really didn't have this son.

Lin Jin squatted at the door of his mother once, wearing an old floral short-sleeved and black cropped pants, her hair was tied up in a high bun, she was much older, with a sick face and a pitiful back, Lin Jinchong He went up to talk to her, but she blocked him indifferently.

She asked him, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

In just five words, all Lin Jin's defenses collapsed.

Since then, he has never returned to Shanghai.

Standing at the gate of the community, Lin Jin glanced around, but didn't see any familiar people, even the security guard at the gate had changed, and he was squatting inside eating instant noodles at the moment.

Surrounded by skyscrapers, only the seven-story residential area is sandwiched between them, which is particularly eye-catching. After all, Lin Jin didn't muster up the courage to step in and returned to the hotel.

Due to the change of the mobile phone card, only the numbers of Dr. Liu and Yu Yan are stored in this card.

He didn't think that his disappearance would bring any turmoil to Beijing, but he felt that since he left Beijing, he had to contact Dr. Liu anyway, so he struggled for a moment and called him.

Maybe it was because of an unfamiliar number, so Dr. Liu hung up the phone directly, and Lin Jin called again and again. After four or five calls, the other party finally picked up, with an irritable tone: "I don't want to buy insurance!"

Lin Jin frowned: "Doctor Liu, it's me."

"...Lin Jin?!" The voice on the other end seemed surprised.

Lin Jin even heard the sound of something being knocked over, and then Dr. Liu continued to ask, "Where did you go? Why can't you get through your previous number? Did you change the number?"

"Well," Lin Jin said, "I'm not in Beijing anymore, and I also changed my phone card. After thinking about it, I still think I should tell you."

Dr. Liu paused: "...everyone is looking for you."

Lin Jin was stunned: "Really?" After speaking, he laughed at himself, "I have something to look for, don't look for it, I'm fine."

"You..." Dr. Liu seemed to be hesitant, but finally asked, "Are you okay? Have you taken all your medicines on time? No big problem, right?"

"No," Lin Jin shook his head, "It's strange to say, but I feel quite calm, I don't feel anything."

"That's good." Dr. Liu sighed quietly, "Then...shall I tell everyone that everything is fine for you?"

"You can report your safety," Lin Jin paused, "However, you don't need to tell them your mobile phone number, I... don't plan to contact them anymore."

"it is good."

Dr. Liu should come down.

Lin Jin couldn't help thinking in his heart that Ke Zhun would definitely look for him, and maybe Zhou Tiantian would look for him too. After thinking about it, "they" seemed to only include these two people...

I wonder if Ye Ziyuan will look for him?

Realizing that he went around and returned to Ye Ziyuan, Lin Jin gritted his teeth, and drove that person out of his mind, not to think about it anymore.

Think about it again, isn't it cheap?

Dr. Liu is a psychiatrist after all, and he didn't mention anything related to Ye Ziyuan to him, but Lin Jin himself couldn't help but want to ask.

Fortunately, he still had some self-esteem in his heart, so he didn't ask.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and lay down on the bed, thinking that he must go to his mother the next day to overcome his timid feeling of being close to home.

Lin Jin originally thought that today he should be the same as yesterday, he could fall asleep by closing his eyes, but after tossing and turning for more than two hours, he was still more awake than anyone else.

He knew in his heart that thinking about Ye Ziyuan would be cheap, but he still couldn't help thinking about it, couldn't help thinking about it.

I think about how well he treated him, about the gifts he gave him, about his waywardness, about his domineering, about his selfishness...everything, like a silent movie, keeps churning in my mind. In a blink of an eye, the man seemed to be standing in front of him alive, smiling straight at him.

But in the next second, this dream turned into a nightmare again. Ye Ziyuan stood in front of him, looking at him expressionlessly: "Lin Jin, do you really think I consider you a buddy?"

"It's just a fun plaything, where else can I find such an obedient plaything? When I encounter something, I will take it seriously, and when I can't find anyone, I can vent my desire on you—" Ye Zi Yuan laughed mockingly, "You really thought that I saved you at the beginning, yes, that's right, I helped you solve Liu Yan's dilemma after you kicked his eggs, but Liu Yan and those people went I was the one who came to find you. I made the good guy, you have been deceived by me for so many years, didn’t you expect that?”

Lin Jin was trembling all over, and sat up suddenly.

Nightmare plagued him, and he could not live in peace.

He quickly shook out the pills from the medicine bottle on the side, stuffed them into his mouth indiscriminately, without even water, and just swallowed dryly.

Trembling all over, the hallucination seemed to have become a reality. This was the most unslanderable existence in his life, but now it has become his most real nightmare.

Gradually suppressed by the drugs, Lin Jin took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't go on like this, so he simply called the front desk to order a few bottles of wine, and then drank it all in one gulp, paralyzing himself with the wine.

Sure enough, I had a good night's sleep.

On the second day, it was three poles high, and Lin Jin woke up in a daze.

He pinched the corners of his brows and got up, washed up, with a lingering smell of alcohol all over his body, stood in front of the mirror and looked at his face that had lost a lot of weight.

Ye Ziyuan originally said that he was as skinny as a stick, and now he has lost several degrees of weight, so he must not even be called as skinny as a stick.

Why are there Ye Ziyuan everywhere!Lin Jin scolded herself secretly, and quickly shook this person out of her mind.

After tidying up everything in the house, Lin Jin put on a suit that looked decent, bought some fruits, and walked towards the neighborhood.

Seeing him coming again, the security guard couldn't help but become suspicious: "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Jindao: "I...my mother lives there. Building 702, Room [-]."

The security guard probably didn't know much about the people living inside, so he just nodded when he heard this, and let him go. Lin Jin easily entered.

Fruit specially bought my mother's favorite watermelon, which is too heavy.

There was no elevator in the old community. Lin Jin climbed up all the way, panting heavily, and stood at the familiar door. Lin Jin raised his hand several times, but failed to knock.

In the end, he gritted his teeth, put his heart on the line, and knocked twice very quickly.

Footsteps came from the room, Lin Jin's heart rose to his throat, his body trembled almost imperceptibly, then he quickly adjusted his standing posture, standing upright, just waiting for his mother to open the door and call him.

With a "click", the door opened, but Lin Jin's opened mouth suddenly stopped.

The person standing in front of her is not the mother.

The young woman frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Lin Jin panicked, and asked hastily, "Who are you?"

"..." The young woman rolled her eyes, "I ask who are you looking for?"

Lin Jinwei's spine felt cold, and he ran up all the way, his whole body was pressed down by something, as if he couldn't breathe.

He took a step forward and was about to break in. The young woman was startled, and quickly stretched out her hand to stop him: "What are you doing, trespassing on a private house! Don't think I can do it if you dress decently." Let you in as you please!"

"Come here! Come!"

The woman's sharp voice resounded in the corridor, Lin Jin's mind was in a mess, and he just wanted to go in and see what was going on.

The door opposite was suddenly opened, and a familiar face came into sight. Lin Jin paused, turned his head to look, and asked, "Aunt Ji, what's going on?"

The one called Aunt Ji leaned behind the door, and when she saw him, she was obviously stunned, then pushed open the door, scanned him up and down, and shook her head: "What a crime... "

Lin Jin trembled all over, his lips were trembling, and he read word by word: "What's going on? Why does this person live here... Where is my mother? Where is my mother?"

"What a crime!" Aunt Ji shook her head and sighed, "What's the use of you coming back now! Your mother left a long time ago, three years ago, with cerebral hemorrhage, don't you know?"

At that moment, Lin Jin only felt that the stone hanging from his heart had slammed down hard with a "bang", causing his blood to splatter and his body covered in cuts and bruises.

The blood all over his body seemed to be frozen in an instant, he stood there in a daze, and after a long while, he said lightly, "How is that possible?"
