Shu Xia felt that Mei Ting seemed to be a different person, he was used to it but felt strange, and guessed that she might be a patient.

In the past few days, she has been doing things silently by herself, and he refuses to let him go to help. She keeps nagging him to read the book carefully, and after saying it twice, he will get angry and his face will be full of irritability.

He also loves to quarrel with Shu Daqing. In the past, it was a unilateral crush, but now, the two of them are inseparable, and they fight when he is not at home.

From time to time when he came back at night, he could see the bruises on her face, new ones and old ones, and he would not speak when he asked.

He was so angry that he didn't want to ask again.

Mei Ting became much stronger.

She didn't have strong characteristics before, she used to be cowardly, hiding from people like a hamster, or sitting on the sidelines and talking non-stop...

She has never been so strong, it must be considered strong for her.

The doctor said that her brain was severely impacted and mentally stimulated, and her neurasthenia weakened, which is commonly known as neuropathy.

When he is good, he is a normal person, and when he is bad, he doesn't even know him.

Shu Xia took out the book, but failed to read it, and searched the Internet for some related information on mental weakness and drastic personality changes.

After tossing and tossing for a long time, there are all kinds of results, suicide, murder, no criminal responsibility... There are also messy hospital advertisements.

A big change in personality, being stimulated, or a hidden personality...

It's a mess, and the more you look at it, the more annoying it gets.

Anyway, the result is that he will be cured, and he will be sent to a mental hospital if it is serious.

He quit the browser, intending to discuss with Mei Ting and use part of the money she saved for medical treatment.

This Saturday, after get off work, he helped Mei Ting sell vegetables. He had a two-hour break to get up and planned to cook, but she robbed him of his work and refused to let him do it.

Shu Daqing didn't know where he was fooling around again.

Mei Ting cooks very carefully, wearing gloves, without the gloomy face and bad words, cooking for her son like a normal mother.

Shu Xia stood at the door looking at her, maybe she should wait until after dinner to talk about going to the hospital.

He went out to look at the chickens again, picked up three eggs, and swept the yard by the way. Some camellias had withered, and some had begun to sprout new buds.

A message came in on the phone, he put the egg on the chicken ring, it was sent by Ji Xi, recently Ji Xi loves to send him WeChat messages, asking and saying everything.

Ji Xueza: What's for lunch?I refer to reference.

what to eatHe didn't know either, so he went to the kitchen with the two eggs he had just picked up.

The moment he opened the door, he was stunned at the kitchen door, like a thunderbolt from the sky, staring at Mei Ting blankly looking at the dishes in the pot, her gloves went somewhere, there was a cut in her hand, there was something wrong with it. Blood dripped into the cauldron.

"Mom... you... what are you doing?"

The egg in his hand fell to the ground, and the yolk was broken all over the floor.

His head seemed to explode, and it was blown to pieces. He took a few steps on his weak hind legs, how could it be?How could it be... accidentally or... on purpose?

——One day you piss me off, I will let you get sick too, let's see who can live longer!

Shu Daqing's words were still echoing in his ears, the phone vibrated again, Shu Xia was about to lose his footing, the huge impact made him not know where he was, his ears were ringing like he couldn't hear the sound.

I only saw Mei Ting's mouth moving, what did she say... what did she say?

Walking on the road in a daze, holding the phone tightly in his hand, the screen is off, and the people around greet him, but he can't hear the sound, so he can only judge by the shape of his mouth and smiling face, there are no cars on the road, no one , only him.

He didn't know how he got out, whether he was walking or riding in a car, sometimes he was awake and sometimes he didn't know where he was.

Sometimes I see light, sometimes I see darkness.

I just feel that my eyes are going to be blind, it hurts, and it's astringent.

The expressway is very high, and there are several pillars below, four or five meters high. His eyesight is very good, but he still can't see what is below.

He looked hard, sometimes it was an empty abyss with no bottom, sometimes it turned into a wasteland, some white lime was clearly visible, and when he looked closely, he saw Mei Ting's expressionless face... He was so frightened that he closed his eyes. When I closed my eyes, I saw the abyss again, and the surroundings were empty, as if floating in the air.

He thought he might be blind!

Otherwise, why can't you see the bottom clearly, how can you see bright red blood dripping down your fingers, how could it be?

Unbelievable, fear, and fright covered his whole body. He sat on the stone pier with his arms folded, staring at the sky in a daze. The light gradually faded and darkness fell.

He didn't dare to go back, bright red blood kept coming out of the phone in his mind, he didn't know if it was the first time or many times, full of nausea and fear made him convulse, retching again and again, wishing to dig out his stomach Check to see if there is any blood in it.

Will he...will he get sick?

The fear all over his body made him unable to stop clenching his arms, the pain stimulated his nerves, and his mind was blurred and clear.

The cold came, and the wind howled in the darkness. He huddled in the gap between the stone piers, cold and hungry, but he didn't dare to go back.

He was left alone in the whole world, empty.

Ji Xi called Shu Xia several times, but no one answered, and then turned off the phone directly.

He was so angry that he walked around the living room twice. Damn it, he would change without a chameleon. When he was in a good mood, he would reply a few words.

Depend on!

He won't stick a cold ass!

After tidying up, he went to eat with Qi Xin and the others, but Liu Yang forgot about them when he talked about his girlfriend, and often couldn't make an appointment.

It's the Xing family again.

"You guys are here, what do you eat?" Xing Yi asked with a smile while holding the menu.

"Yiyi, did you put on makeup today?" Qi Xin pointed at her mouth, "Lipstick?"

Xing Yi wiped his mouth and grinned, "No, it's natural, what do you want to eat?"

"Ribs." Meng Ke said.

"Anything." Ji Xi said.

Xing Yi clicked on the menu with a pen, and was about to explode, "My dear friends, what do you want to eat?"

"Then ribs." Qi Xin said with a smile.

Seeing someone go into the kitchen, Qi Xin followed her, chattering and laughing in front of her, completely unaware that she was someone who confessed but failed.

"Brother Xi, are you in a bad mood?" Meng Ke asked with concern when he saw his complexion.

"No," he took a sip of his wine and glanced at his phone, "What's wrong with Qi Lei?"

It's understandable that Liu Yang can't make an appointment, but it's strange that Qi Lei doesn't come out.

"I'm not sure, maybe I'm busy?" Meng Ke said.

"It doesn't matter, eat, I'm going to starve to death." I didn't eat for a day, I asked Shu Xia what to eat at noon and didn't reply, I didn't reply to the message, I didn't answer the phone, and finally turned off the phone, it's really... a face-changer !

"Are there any arrangements for the evening?" Qi Xin ran back and asked.

"Playing games, clubbing, what do you want to do?" Ji Xi asked, really bored.

"Play games!"

"Yeah." Ji Xiying snapped and looked at his phone, his expression became even uglier!

"Brother Xi, what's wrong?" Meng Ke asked.

"It's okay, I'm fine." He said through gritted teeth.

Qi Xin and Meng Ke: "..." Is that okay?

After dinner, I went to Qi Lei's Internet cafe, Qi Lei was not in the shop, it was his mother who was watching the shop, a few people said hello, and turned on three machines, Ji Xi hit hard and hard, alleviating the restlessness in my heart and dissatisfaction.

"Brother Xi, you are so majestic today!" Qi Xin shouted excitedly, they played five rounds and ate chicken four times, it was really exciting!

"Come again." Ji Xi ordered the next round.

After playing all night, they were in high spirits, drank a few bottles of coke, their hands were sore and their buttocks hurt, and their game level gradually increased.

I slept for a while in the second half of the night.

When Ji Xi woke up, his back was sore and his back was sore. There were still a few people in the Internet cafe all night. Qi Lei and Qi Xin slept soundly. He rubbed his neck and pushed open the door to go out. .

He took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette, lit it and inhaled slowly. He walked slowly to the alley next to him, not answering his phone calls, not replying his messages. Are you still friends?

What a shame!

The corners were pitch black.

Didn't open the door?

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Sunday, six fourteen, not at work?

Stuffing out the cigarette butt and throwing it in the trash, he threw it back.

Qi Xin couldn't wake up after several calls, so he went back to the apartment to sleep alone, set the alarm clock for ten o'clock, and planned to go to Shu Xia's house to see, what's the situation?

Take a meal by the way.

Xueba not only studies well, but also cooks delicious noodles.

Thinking of this, he didn't even doze off.

Depend on!

He smashed the pug next to the bed, knocked off his sunglasses, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "You have a big face, you deserve a beating!"

Going early and late, he got up and packed up, chose a red coat, slacks, casual shoes, flicked the car keys, whistled, with sunglasses on his head, slowly went downstairs, rode The car goes to Shu Xia's house.

He is a familiar person, skinless and shameless, and if he likes it, he has to look at him from time to time to feel comfortable. Student Shu Xia is cold at times and gentle at other times, which makes him very uncomfortable.

He still vaguely remembered the road in Dawanzi, he rode slowly there, it was still early, and he might not have gotten up too early.

Thinking of going directly to his window and climbing in later, scaring him to death for revenge!

Ji Xi couldn't help showing a smile, pushing the sunglasses with one hand.When he got to the main road below Shu Xia's house, he stopped. The noise of the car was too loud, so he might be discovered before he entered the door.

He took a deep breath, don't be kicked out, that would be so embarrassing!

The yard was much more depressed than before, and it was quiet. He opened the fence suspiciously, saw that the doors were all closed, and went straight to the window of Shu Xia's room on the left.

The window was not closed, and one could see at a glance that there was no one inside, it was deserted, and the book was open.

Where did you go so early?

Not going to work, not at home, what the hell?

He took out his mobile phone to make a call, but it was still turned off. What's the matter?

With a light click, he shook his head, turned around and left, and it was useless to do it for a long time.

Riding the bike back at a whirlwind speed, and leaving Dawanzi quickly, I saw a few egrets flying on the calm lake in the corner of my eye.

There were not many cars in the morning, so he speeded up to feel the freedom and comfort of the wind, and set foot on the expressway.

The wind in the morning brings a moist breath in the cold.

He saw Shu Xia in a mess.

Huddled in the gap between the stone pier, his face was pale and he was in a mess.

He was shaken all over, suppressing the shock in his heart, and stopped suddenly, the car made a harsh sound and deep ruts on the ground.

"Shu Xia?" He called out in a trembling voice.

The man looked up at him, his eyes were full of emptiness.

Her hair was damp, her face was bloodless, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were full of pleading: "Can you hide me, there are demons looking for me."

Ji Xi rushed to him in a few steps, not knowing where to put his hands, looking at his big wet eyes, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks.

He had never seen him like this before, and he didn't know what to do, "Shu Xia... what's wrong with you?"

Without saying a word, he bowed his head with his arms around his knees, leaving only the damp back of his head.

Ji Xi looked around and said softly, "I'll take you back, okay?"

"No!" He squealed thinly, shaking his head.

Ji Xi was so frightened that he immediately hugged him and patted him, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't go back, don't go back..."

There was a hot ball in his arms, and he reached out to touch his forehead, it was hot and had a fever.

"You have a fever, can you go to my house?" He asked in a low voice.

Shu Xia didn't say a word, Ji Xi tried to pull him up, staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground, his legs were trembling and he couldn't move at all.

Ji Xi put his hand on his shoulder and led him into the car.

"Hold me tight and take you back to my house, okay?" he asked.

No response.

Pulling his hand around his waist, Ji Xi rode back.

Silent all the way.

Back home, Shu Xia ran around like a lost rabbit, and hid in his closet in a panic.

Ji Xi was stunned at the door of the room with a shocked expression on his face.

He sat on the bed and looked at his wardrobe. It was big and white. He decided to rent this place because of this wardrobe.

But now, Shu Xia is hiding inside.

He said that demons were looking for him and that he was now hiding in a closet at his house.

Ji Xi tried to open the closet door, and immediately there was a mess inside, so he could only stop and squat outside to watch.

It was only when the room was gradually blurred that Ji Xi realized that it was getting dark. Looking at the time, it was 23:[-].

Shu Xia hasn't come out for a day.

Didn't eat anything either.

Ji Xi didn't know if he had eaten before, anyway, he didn't eat or drink anything at his house.

Pour him water and it screams like a frightened little animal and he dares not touch him at all.

He ordered takeaway, light porridge, the one in front of the school, and the delivery was fast.

Turning on the light, he knocked on the closet door, "Shu Xia, let's eat something!"

There was no response. If he hadn't seen Shu Xia get in with his own eyes, and there was still a little breathing inside, he might not have known that there was another person hiding inside.

knock knock...

Ji Xi frowned, neither eating nor drinking, isn't this the rhythm of courting death?

"Shu Xia, I'm here, there are no demons, let's eat something first, let's talk?" Ji Xi continued to knock patiently.

No response.

He opened the closet door to both sides, revealing the people inside.

Shu Xia squatted in the corner with her knees in her arms, her eyes were empty, her face was bloodless white, when the light came in, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover it, his white fingers were extremely fragile.

Clothes are full of dust, hair is a mess like weeds.

Ji Xi took a deep breath and reached out to touch him.

"Don't be afraid, let's eat something first, shall we?"

He didn't respond or resist, Ji Xi approached slowly, put his hand on his head and stroked it gently.

"With me here, Brother Xi will protect you."

While comforting, Ji Xi tried to pull him out.

There was no life in his eyes, lifeless, empty and frightening.

It took half an hour to get Shu Xia out of the closet, the porridge was already cold, Ji Xi put him on the bed and went to heat it up.

He didn't know what happened to Shu Xia. In just one day, he changed completely.

Ji Xi has never taken care of anyone, nor does he know how to comfort others.

You can only put the porridge into his mouth.

Shu Xia seemed to see something and rushed to the toilet, Ji Xi hurriedly put down the porridge and followed.

He squatted in the toilet and retched, retching without vomiting, Ji Xi patted his back.

He didn't spit out anything, and there was the sound of crying, low, like a small animal, whimpering and waiting for someone to save him.

Ji Xi hugged him tightly from behind and patted his back to comfort him.

There are obvious bones on his back, some diaphragms, and tears dripping on his arms, which is very hot.

In the past, Ji Xi had a serious obsession with cleanliness. He didn't like other people touching his things and threw them away.

Tears are dripping down on him now, and he doesn't feel anything.

They squatted until their legs became numb before they came out.

Shu Xia sat on the sofa with her knees hugged, staring blankly at the tea machine, maybe he didn't look at it at all, but his eyes just stopped there, there were teardrops hanging on his long eyelashes, one fell and another came again.

"I..." His voice was hoarse, as if he couldn't pronounce it, "I may be sick."

"Well, it's good to go to the hospital when you're sick." Ji Xi said.

"...I'm afraid," he said.

"What are you afraid of? With Brother Xi here, the great difficulties are not a problem." Ji Xi comforted him, took him into his arms, and patted him gently.

"There is no cure for..." he said.

"There is no incurable disease in the world." Ji Xi doesn't know if there is, he rarely gets sick, even if he accidentally catches a cold, he can take some medicine and get an injection.

"What day is it?" he asked.

Ji Xi took out his mobile phone and showed it to him, "Sunday, class is going to be in the evening."

"Can you ask for leave for me?"

"Well, okay, are you hungry?" Ji Xi asked.

"I...don't want to go to school," he said.

"Ah... oh, okay, it's fine." Ji Xi said it easily, as if there were no problems in the world.

"I want to get out of here," he said.

"My home is still this place?" Ji Xi asked.

"I hate this place."

Ji Xi patted him on the shoulder and nodded, "Yes, you can leave if you want."

"I seem to be dreaming." He closed his eyes and whispered.

"What dream?"

"I dreamed that I was in college, and there were many classmates who attended classes together, ate together, and laughed together."

"At B University?"

"I can't see clearly, it seems to be, or it doesn't seem to be, I don't know." His voice gradually dropped.

"It's okay, you will definitely pass the exam!"

"Ah."

Shu Xia fell asleep on the bed.

It wasn't the first time Ji Xi slept in the same bed with him. The first time that bed was Shu Xia's, a canopy bed, very homely, and it felt like he would roll off if he didn't sleep on his side.

Now, the bed is huge and they are far apart.Shu Xia shrank into a ball, Ji Xi didn't know if he was really asleep or just pretending, but he didn't want to disturb him.

Shu Xia slept all night, Ji Xi didn't sleep all night.

At dawn, Qi Xin and the others called and asked him if he would go to class.

Ji Xi hid on the balcony to pick it up, afraid of waking people up.

After agreeing to ask for leave for Shu Xia, Ji Xi tidied up lightly, never in such a mess, even opening the closet door for fear of waking people up.

Qi Xin and the others were chattering, alive and kicking enough to eat two cows.

Ji Xi cheered up and chatted with them.

When class was about to start, Ji Xi went to Shen Shi's office.

"You want to ask for leave for Shu Xia?" Shen Shi asked in surprise.

"Well, he's not feeling well, let me ask for leave for him." Ji Xi said.

"How many days?" Shen Shi asked.

Please a few days, Shu Xia didn't say anything about this issue, she can't drop out of school, right?

"Just ask for a week first!"

Shen Shi slammed the thermos on the table with a slap, and was very angry, "Student Ji Xi, there must be a limit to pranks. If you don't study hard, forget it, and come here to find trouble."

"Student Shu Xia, why did you mess with you?"

Ji Xi tugged at his hair irritably, almost swearing, "Anyway, I'm asking for leave for Shu Xia. We don't celebrate holidays. That's it, I'm going to ask for leave too. I don't know how long it will take, but let's ask for a week too!"

"You...you are going to piss me off, right? I won't approve." Shen Shi said.

"I'm leaving, I've finished talking."

"You... stop, Ji Xi!"

Shen Shi said that he would not approve it, but still wrote two leave notes, thinking about worrying, he called Shu Xia, but no one answered.

Looks like a home visit is in order.

When Ji Xi went back, Shu Xia was no longer there.

The phone was still turned off, and no words were left.

Ji Xi anxiously kicked the door and left, going out to find someone.
