At 2019:12 pm on December 31, 11, the lead clouds hung low in the sky, the whirling wind was icy cold, and the Jingyue Lake villa area was quiet.

Ding-dong-

Leaning on the desk by the floor-to-ceiling window, the screen that had been silent for a long time suddenly lit up, and a WeChat message popped out.

I don't: Is it a New Year's resolution?

Alpha, who was wearing a dark gray shirt, walked to the desk, picked up the phone with his slender fingers, slid the screen away, and returned to the previous chat interface.

The time of the last paragraph stayed 10 minutes ago. At that time, Xie Fei asked him if he also hoped that he could start playing the piano again.

Of course Gu Fangyan hoped that his Xie Fei, who was born bright and dazzling, and loved music so much, should shine on the grandest and most gorgeous stage.

If he could get someone back a treasure by making a New Year's resolution like this, then of course he would.

So Gu Fangyan replied: "Forget it."

Xie Fei didn't immediately say what to do since it was a New Year's wish.

The light on the screen goes out.Since the end of the New Year's Eve party, Gu Fangyan has always had a bad feeling, so he didn't change his home clothes, he always felt that he had to go out soon.

Through the window glass, he looked at the outline of the mountains in the distance, which was hidden in the night. Not long after, a harsh brake sound came from outside the building.

Then the doorbell rang.

Gu Fangyan went downstairs to open the door, and Alpha, who tied his long hair into a ponytail and had a beautiful and aggressive temperament, stood outside the door, with a subtle and playful expression on his face, but faded into indifference the moment he saw him alone, and asked: " Is Ah Fei here?"

"He's not at home?" Gu Fangyan felt more uneasy.

Pei Xingyuan shook his head: "No."

"At about ten o'clock, he told me that he was home." Gu Fangyan frowned indistinctly.

"I've been at home tonight, and he didn't come back." Pei Xingyuan felt wrong, "Why is he lying to you? Did you quarrel? No, you quarreled...why didn't you answer my phone?"

Hearing this, Gu Fangyan's complexion sank, he picked up the coat on the coat rack and strode out the door.

Pei Xingyuan grabbed his arm, and his expression became tense: "What's wrong?"

Gu Fangyan said: "He visited his violin teacher tonight."

"When did you go?" Pei Xingyuan was surprised.

"I was on my way at 8 o'clock." Gu Fangyan had an excellent memory, and he could remember what Xie Fei said to him without looking through the chat records.

"Can you contact him? No...don't ask him directly." Pei Xingyuan stepped aside, anxious and worried.

Gu Fangyan unlocked the phone, returned to the chat interface, thought for a few seconds, and asked Xie Fei in a casual and normal tone how he would realize this wish.

Minutes passed without a reply.

He thought of this person's ability to "keep his ears out of the window" once he entered the working state, not to mention that he deliberately blocked the outside world at the moment. .”

Pei Xingyuan said "OK", turned around and walked towards his car, opened the door and thought of something, turned around and said: "I found someone, or got in touch, don't ask him too many questions, coax him back first and then talk about it." .”

Gu Fangyan responded, and while walking towards the garage, he made a call: "I want the surveillance video of the main entrance of the West Garden after ten o'clock in the evening."

He and Xie Fei haven't known each other for a long time, but he knows Xie Fei's temperament and handling style very well.

Generally speaking, Xie Fei will not fabricate a lie out of thin air, he often uses some one-sided truth to cover up the whole truth, so the credibility will be quite high.So Xie Fei told him that when he got home, it was very likely that he would be in the apartment near the school.

But in the next second, Gu Fangyan realized that looking at the monitoring screen was too time-consuming, and changed his words: "Arrange someone to knock on the door of Building 9, 12-2, and bring a few bottles of drinks. If someone opens the door, it will be said that it is a takeaway running errands and looking for the wrong building." gone."

After the order, the dark Maybach drove into the main road of the villa area, and the high beams illuminated the road ahead straightly, cutting and dispelling the darkness.

The night was dark and deep.

Unsurprisingly, there was no one at 9-12-2 West Park.

The hands of the clock kept moving, the traffic flow on the inner ring highway was dwindling, and the street lights along the way pulled out arcs of light one after another, and were quickly thrown behind the car.

Gu Fangyan raised his eyes and looked straight ahead, forcing himself to think calmly.

Xie Fei seldom does anything unprepared. The questions he asked on WeChat indicate that he is very likely to be ready to play again.He probably wants to practice the piano, and he is not a quiet person, but also hates crowded places, so at this time, where will he choose the place?

Suddenly, a conversation broke into my mind.

"This is your secret base?"

"Well. The stairs sound a bit osteoporotic, but they're fine, don't worry. There's a 'lookout' at the top - of course, that's what I call it - and you can see far The place."

"What did you do when you came here before?"

"Most of the time I sleep, and sometimes I...practice the piano."

At that time, Gu Fangyan and Xie Fei were walking in an old pagoda. The young man's voice was as clear as a spring, and there was a smile in his words. Following his movements and words, the light from the flashlight kept shaking.

Will he go to the back mountain?

It has a unique location, in the city, you can see the lights of thousands of houses, but it is secluded and quiet, and you will never be disturbed or disturb others when you practice the piano.

If he were Xie Fei, would he choose to go there?

He will!

That is his secret base, that is the place he likes to go to when hiding, he likes the seasons there all year round, no matter spring or summer, it can give him comfort.

Gu Fangyan's eyes lit up, and he navigated quickly.

The clouds hanging over Linjiang City all day have not been blown away by the wind. The night gets darker and the temperature gets colder.

The car can only drive to the foot of the mountain. If you want to go up, you must walk.Gu Fangyan followed the same path as last time without stopping, but the closer he got to the dilapidated and lonely tower, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

He heard the sound of the wind, the sound of the leaves, and the strange noise mixed between the two. He couldn't say anything, it was faint and even harsh.

Gradually, the sound disappeared, and a bell sounded in the distance.

clang clang-

12, the hour hand returns to zero, 2019 has come to an end, and the new year has come.

Then there was a muffled—

Boom!

Something fell to the ground, and it beat Gu Fangyan's increasingly heavy heart. He finally stepped over the half-closed door, creaked on the old stairs, and climbed to the top floor.

The portable lighting that was left here last time was turned on, the picnic mat was spread out, and pages of music scores were scattered. He finally found Xie Fei.

The young man stood with his back to him, the first snow of the New Year swirled and drifted, and together with the cold white light, coated a layer of fur around the edges of his body. Once blown, it will dissipate.

Gu Fangyan's breathing was stagnant, and he wanted to walk over quickly, but he was afraid of disturbing him.

Xie Fei turned her head when she heard the sound, her gaze was calm, as if she was looking at Gu Fangyan, or looking at something else through him.

A piano fell obliquely behind and broke into two pieces.

"...Ah Fei." Gu Fangyan shouted.

The next moment, his boy closed his eyes and fell backwards.

hospital.

The walls are cold and white, the lights are dimly lit, it is late at night, and no one comes and goes.

Outside the senior ward on the top floor, Gu Fangyan and Pei Xingyuan leaned side by side against the huge glass wall, with snow falling heavily behind them.

There is a slender glass on the opposite door, but nothing can be seen through it, only the wind and snow outside the opposite window.Occasionally, a sentence such as "the patient is emotionally unstable, increase the dose of injection" came out. Gu Fangyan heard the seriousness and worried a little bit more.

"Thank you today." Pei Xingyuan said in a low voice.

"It's a matter of duty." Gu Fangyan's tone was flat.

"There are many people who like him, but you are the first one he is willing to respond to." Pei Xingyuan said again.

Gu Fangyan did not answer.

Pei Xingyuan sighed, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box and played with it in his hand, his tone was faint, but actually it sounded a bit cold:

"He is a person who loves to laugh and make trouble on the surface, but in fact he has always been lonely and lacks a sense of security...especially emotional security, which stems from his parents' unhappy marriage."

"I don't know how many things he told you, but now, the most important point has been put in front of you-his mental state is not good. Mental diseases are difficult to cure, and taking care of such patients is even more difficult. Troublesome things, time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive, may not be able to get benefits."

At this point, he withdrew his casual expression and said seriously: "So, if you can't guarantee that you will always be by his side, then leave now."

"I won't let him down." Gu Fangyan met Pei Xingyuan's gaze with a slow and firm voice.

"I hope you can always remember this sentence." Pei Xingyuan said.

After a while, the doctor came out with the nurse through the door.

Gu Fangyan and Pei Xingyuan went in one after the other. Before the older brother could ask anything, he heard Xie Fei say, "Brother, go out for a while."

Pei Xingyuan: "..."

He could only respect the wishes of the patient, turn around and walk away.

In a private hospital, the layout of high-end wards is not much different from that of a hotel, but a hospital is still a hospital, and the bed Xie Fei sits on is still called a hospital bed.

The shirt on his body was replaced by a large hospital gown, and the left hand was dripping, and the right hand was holding the list of medicines that the nurse put on the bedside.They were all very blunt and obscure nouns, but Xie Fei recognized what they were for at a glance—they were not much different from the ones Ming Rong used back then, and he had long been familiar with them.

I also talked to the doctor just now, Xie Fei is well aware of her situation.

Those who want to cover up, want to discard, ugly and embarrassing things will eventually come to you.

After Pei Xingyuan left, Xie Fei didn't speak immediately.He slowly turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.Here you can see the ground in the distance, and a thick layer of snow has accumulated.

It has been a long time since there has been snow in Linjiang City. I didn't expect that as soon as it came, it would be overwhelming.

Gu Fangyan didn't urge him to say anything, and he didn't say anything first. He went to the water dispenser and took out a paper cup, mixed it with warm water, and handed it to Xie Fei.

They have done this countless times.Xie Fei has a bad stomach, Gu Fangyan forbade him to drink cold water in winter, Xie Fei didn't like it very much at first, but was forced to do nothing, and gradually got used to it.But this time, Xie Fei didn't answer.

"There is one thing that I haven't told you." Xie Fei raised her face, looked into Gu Fangyan's eyes, and said softly.

"What's the matter?" Gu Fangyan asked gently.

Xie Fei picked up her mobile phone from the bedside, clicked on a WeChat applet, and found a historical record:

"Congratulations, the big adventure you have won is: Confess to the school girl in public."

时间:2019年9月3日12:34。

Gu Fangyan glanced at the screen, his eyes fell back on his face: "What do you want to explain?"

Xie Fei: "On the rooftop that day, I confessed to you. It was a big adventure I won."

"Then?" Gu Fangyan narrowed his eyes.

Xie Fei looked at him and said slowly: "I lied to you when I said I like you."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Silence began to grow and spread, and the screen of Xie Fei's phone automatically went dark, reflecting the silhouette of the overhead light.

Gu Fangyan put down the glass of water and stood beside Xie Fei for a long time. It was so long that Xie Fei wondered if this person was a hallucination that he imagined. It was so long that Xie Fei lowered his head and became confused and at a loss. He finally said:

"So I can leave you alone now?"

"Yes." Xie Fei whispered.

Gu Fangyan laughed angrily, pinched Xie Fei's chin, forced him to raise his head, pressed against the man's cool lips, and said in a low voice: "Do you think I'm a fool?"
