Zuo Yan fulfilled his promise.
Ge Xiu looked around, and saw that the materials that had been piled up in a mess in his room had been transported perfectly to the clean and bright studio, where the maze of manuscripts and models in a mess was particularly abrupt. It's almost a perfect reproduction, not even the relative position of a sheet of paper is moved.
except for one thing...
He turned to look at Zuo Yan and raised his eyebrows:
"So, what about sugar?"
Zuo Yan looked down at him, a fleeting smile on his lips: "Are you in such a hurry?"
Gorshu narrowed his eyes in horror.
The curvature of Zuo Yan's lips deepened uncontrollably. He reached into his pocket and took out a few beautifully packaged candies and handed them to Ge Xiu.
Ge Xiu's expression darkened slightly.
He took the candy from Zuo Yan's palm, peeled one and stuffed it into his mouth.
The sweet but not greasy high-grade fruit fragrance melts in the warm mouth, full of happiness instantly overflowing.
Ge Xiu glanced at the candy left in his palm.
"Just like that?" He frowned and looked at Zuo Yan, muttering vaguely, "...Stingy."
As a person in power who is worth hundreds of billions and owns the entire business empire, Zuo Yan still did not change his face when he said this. Instead, the corners of his lips twitched happily, without the slightest sense of guilt.
He asked with a funny face, "Aren't you worried about tooth decay when you eat so much sugar?"
Ge Xiu suddenly became serious:
"Impossible, I have brushed and maintained my teeth well, and this kind of thing will not happen!"
Zuo Yan: "..."
"You seem to be very experienced?" He raised his eyebrows: "Have you suffered?"
Ge Xiu's eyes floated for a moment: "...Nothing."
Zuo Yan dragged his voice: "...Oh?"
Ge Xiu coughed twice, then turned around and walked quickly towards the messy work table, his speech speeding up disguisedly: "Ah! There is still a lot of work! If you don't start, it will be finished!"
Zuo Yan couldn't help laughing.
Gorshuu stopped and shot him a menacing glance.
Zuo Yan quickly straightened the curvature of the corners of his lips, his face straight and innocent, as if he was not the one who laughed just now.
At this moment, the mobile phone in Zuo Yan's pocket suddenly vibrated twice.
He lowered his head, took out his phone from his pocket, and glanced at the screen.
Zuo Yan put the phone back in his pocket, raised his head to look at Ge Xiu who was about to start work, and said, "The family doctor is here, go and talk to him before starting work."
Gossi didn't lift his head.
He lengthened his voice and replied lazily, "No..."
Although he doesn't know the source of his nightmare, he understands that this cannot be solved by a psychiatrist in a virtual world.
"Waste time," he whispered.
Zuo Yan keenly caught his muttering: "How do you know it's a waste of time if you don't go?"
"Of course I know," said Ge Xiu lazily.
His attitude is not tough, but there is a kind of unshakable meaning in it.
"And I'm going to work." Ge Xiu unceremoniously began to chase people: "You are in the way."
Zuo Yan not only did not go, but took a few steps forward.
He raised the corners of his lips and said in a deep voice, "You go with me, and I'll give you the rest of the candy, how about it?"
Gorshu looked up from his work.
He asked with a bad look: "Do you think I'm a child?"
Zuo Yan's expression became serious: "How is it possible! How could a child design such an exquisite work?"
Unconsciously, he has walked to the work table at this moment.
Zuo Yan leaned down, his eyes drooped slightly, the deep eye sockets and high brow bones cast shadows, making his eyes darker and more meaningful.
There was a faint arc on his lips:
"And don't forget, I'm pursuing you."
Ge Xiu leaned back and subtly opened the distance between the two: "Then?"
Zuo Yan's expression did not change:
"I just suddenly remembered that there are still a few packs of unopened candy on the table in the study, so I'll just mention it."
Ge Xiu frowned.
"You're really annoying." He gave a cold face: "So, in order to shut you up, I'll just go."
Zuo Yan straightened up, squinted his eyes slightly, watched the young man speed up and walked towards the door of the studio, and chuckled involuntarily.
- Did you say that you are not a child
Ge Xiu walked to the door only to find that Zuo Yan hadn't followed.
He stopped, turned his head to look in Zuo Yan's direction, and frowned impatiently: "Are you coming?"
"Of course."
Zuo Yan smiled and shook his head, followed quickly.
The two came to the study room.
Dr. Zhao has been waiting there.
Seeing the two coming, he got up and looked over. He was slightly startled when he saw Ge Xiu. He didn't seem to expect that the patient he saw last time would appear in front of him again. The next second, Dr. Zhang recovered. After returning to normal, he nodded respectfully to Zuo Yan: "Mr. Zuo."
Zuo Yan replied with a "hmm".
"He is a doctor of psychology from a famous foreign university. He has been the family doctor of Zuo's family for 20 years. Although he is not an expert in psychology, he is at least trustworthy..." Zuo Yan said, turning to look at Ge Xiu: " Speaking of which, the last time you came here, it was Dr. Zhao who diagnosed and examined you..."
When he saw Ge Xiu, Zuo Yan couldn't help but paused slightly.
The young man frowned, staring at the doctor in front of him, his eyes dark and obscure, as if he was wondering something in amazement.
Zuo Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
His voice woke Gossiu from his musings.
Ge Xiu took a deep look at Dr. Zhang, then withdrew his gaze without a trace, and shook his head: "It's nothing."
He was the first to go to the soft chair and sit down.
Zuo Yan gave him a fixed look, and turned around and walked towards the door without changing his face: "Then I won't disturb you."
Psychological counseling is better in private.
Zuo Yan walked to the door and closed the door for a while. He looked at Ge Xiu and said, "By the way, the candy is in the third drawer on the right side of the desk."
After speaking, he took a step back and closed the door intimately.
Only Ge Xiu and Doctor Zhao were left in the huge study.
Ge Xiu stood up, walked to the desk, opened the drawer, and found the candy Zuo Yan had promised him earlier.
He tore open the package, grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into his pocket, then walked to the soft chair just now and sat down.
Dr. Zhao watched his movements the whole time.
Ge Xiu handed him one: "Either?"
Dr. Zhao was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and replied politely, "No, thank you."
"Why don't we start now?" He opened the notebook and looked at Ge Xiu seriously.
Ge Xiu shrugged indifferently: "Okay."
"I heard that you have been having nightmares?" Dr. Zhao held a pen in his hand and patiently looked at the young man in front of him. His voice was calm and soft: "How long has it lasted?"
Ge Xiu recalled for a moment: "Well... I forgot the exact time."
He estimated in his mind the time he had spent in the previous worlds, and then said, "About a few months."
"Did anything happen in the real world at that time?"
If it was the real world, he should have been in a coma from which his mental body had been detached.
If it's a virtual world...
Ge Xiu lowered his eyes thoughtfully, his eyes fell on a distant place, and he casually licked the candy in his mouth.
The first time he began to be haunted by nightmares was in the world where he had become a mermaid.
To be precise, it was the beginning of his entry into that world.
Since then, it has never stopped.
—Except for the two sleepers beside Zuo Yan.
Ge Xiu replied: "Nothing happened, everything is normal."
Dr. Zhao lowered his head, wrote a few notes in the notebook, and then looked up at Ge Xiu again: "How often do you have nightmares?"
"Just fall asleep," Gossiu replied.
"Do you remember the content of your nightmare?"
Ge Xiu shrugged: "This, I forget every time I wake up."
Dr. Zhao pondered for a while: "So, you don't know if you have the same nightmare every time, right?"
Unexpectedly, this time Ge Xiu shook his head: "Although I will forget the specific details after waking up, I know that the content is the same every time."
"How to say?"
Ge Xiu frowned and pondered for a few seconds: "Probably, it feels similar."
The same cold, damp, disgusting, and endlessly dark and decadent taste.
In this way, you asked and I answered and chatted for more than half an hour.
Ge Xiu has always had a good attitude and cooperated very well during this process, but his eyes were always wandering around the other person's body vaguely, his eyes were slightly dark, and with a thoughtful look, he fixed on the body. Looking at each other.
Dr. Zhao felt a little cold behind his being watched.
Finally, after he stopped talking a few times, he finally couldn't hold back and asked, "That... Mr. Lu, is there something on my face?"
Gossi shook his head.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly asked coldly, "Is Dr. Zhao married?"
Dr. Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head honestly.
"Any kids around teens?"
Dr. Zhao shook his head a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Lu, you are joking. I haven't even gotten married. How can I have such an old child?"
Ge Xiu shrugged: "Everything is uncertain."
He took out his phone and asked, "Can I take a picture of you?"
Dr. Zhao was startled again.
- The other party really doesn't play cards according to the routine, so that he can't guess what the other party is thinking.
But he still nodded: "…Of course."
This inexplicable conversation soon ended.
Gossiu hurried back to his studio, uploaded the photos to his computer, and started designing software for processing and blending.
A few hours later, it was already dark outside the window.
He stared at the photo displayed on the screen with deep eyes, and then pressed the Enter key.
The image of an adult man changed in an instant, as if turning back time, he quickly turned into the appearance of a teenage boy.
Ge Xiu was stunned.
He adjusted the body fat percentage of the people in the photo.
A bony half-year-old child with sunken eye sockets, like a monkey, appeared in front of him.
It was the same as what he remembered, and there was no difference.
… small one.
late at night.
There was a knock on the master bedroom door.
Zuo Yan came to answer the door wearing a home nightgown. He opened the door and saw Ge Xiu's face unexpectedly.
He teased and asked, "What? Do you want to sleep together?"
Ge Xiu pondered for a while: "Okay."
He promised so readily that Zuo Yan was even a little uncomfortable.
Before he came back to his senses, Ge Xiu had already wiped his side and walked into the room.
Zuo Yan turned his head and looked behind him.
Seeing that Ge Xiu was already sitting on the edge of the bed, he tilted his head:
"... Exactly, I also have something to ask you."
