When Anya came to the door, no one expected it.
Anya stood there in despair, seemingly desperate.
"Help me, Xia! Please..."
When Che Linwan turned around to avoid it, Xia Mingzhi grabbed her and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go for a walk."
"You don't need to avoid it. Let's sit down together and listen to what Anya has to say."
Che Linwan sat there a little awkwardly, looking more restless than Anya.
"They doubted my mother."
"What do you suspect?" Che Linwan and Xia Mingzhi were both confused.
"Kill Charlie."
"..." The two looked at each other.
These police officers are just for the taking!
Che Linwan stood up and poured tea for the three of them. Anya reached out and took it, but did not say thank you.
Her unwillingness and hostility were clearly displayed, making it impossible to get angry.
Xia Mingzhi didn't say thank you, but he nodded obviously as he held the tea cup. "Did I ask you for your alibi?"
"I asked. I was with my classmates that day."
"Where's your mother?"
"She...is not at home."
Xia Mingzhi turned his head and looked sideways at her, asking her to make it clear. Otherwise there is no need to help her.
Anya finally spread her hands, with a look of risk-taking.
"She went to my second uncle's house. But we can't say."
"Why."
Anya sighed several times in succession.
When she finally spoke, Che Linwan found that her fingers holding the teacup were trembling.
"After my father went in, my mother tried many ways to clear the way. But there was no way. All our family's finances were in a stalemate. That family, that crazy family, actually kept coming to the door, so my mother and I were forced to move Stay somewhere else.”
"To get to the point. Why can't the alibi be admitted?"
"My second aunt was not at home that day, so my second uncle specifically chose that time to go to my mother. Only my sister, who is still in middle school, was at home. My second uncle... he... had some special hobbies, and my second aunt never wanted to satisfy him, so he Looking for someone outside."
Che Linwan said almost subconsciously, "Did your mother be forced?!"
Anya lowered her head in pain, and when she raised it again, her face was covered with tears.
Xia Mingzhi handed over the tissue box expressionlessly.
"I told you mom, it's useless. Don't beg that person. He won't even help his own brother. My dad is his biological brother. That's why my dad always stands by my second aunt in such matters. On the other hand, he even fought against my second uncle, so he hated my father and would never come back to help our family. He just wanted to play with my mother!"
In the adult world, there is never so much black and white, and some are always only varying degrees of gray.
Just like that movie "Fifty Shades of Grey" in which a perverted president falls in love with his assistant.
Anya expressed her demands directly. She hoped that Harvey would take over this representation and be able to defend and speak for her mother.
"If it was Harvey, people would be on his side and people would believe my mother."
Che Linwan's expression was noncommittal. Harvey's attitude has been very clear, he does not want to be involved in Charlie's incident anymore.
Even when she came to ask him for help or to send a message to Xia Mingzhi, Harvey refused.
Xia Mingzhi actually agreed, "I can give it a try, but there's no guarantee it will work. If Harvey refuses to come forward, can I help you find another lawyer?"
Xia Mingzhi's attitude gave Anya hope.
She took Xia Mingzhi's hand and said, "Please! I really... have no one else to help."
Che Linwan had only one confusion in her mind at that time. Did Anya know about Xia Mingzhi's split personality? The Xia Mingzhi in front of her was not her roommate, tenant, or international student Xia Mingzhi at all.
But a complete stranger.
"I know her." Seeing Che Linwan's confusion, Xia Mingzhi took the initiative to bring it up after Anya left, "Several times. She woke up the safe word and pushed me back into the bottomless depths. In the darkness. But I don't hate her, she doesn't know what she is doing, she just obeys... the friend she thinks, my third generation personality, is like a friend who fulfills the entrustment of her friend, but does not do it at all. I knew I was handing him a gun."
The metaphor of handing over and grabbing made Che Linwan feel a little nervous in his heart.
But Xia Mingzhi was very calm when she spoke, so calm that she didn't realize the danger.
"Do you think I should help her?"
"Ah, why are you asking me? Didn't you already agree?"
Xia Mingzhi smiled emotionlessly, "Did you see the expression on her face when she opened the door? It was a look of death. As she said herself, there was absolutely nothing she could do. She couldn't find it. There is someone who can help her. So if I don’t agree, she won’t leave. According to Anya’s character, she will definitely make a scene.”
Suddenly his eyes turned to her, "And you are someone who doesn't like that kind of quarrel."
"Me?... Did you agree because of me?"
"Don't we live together now? Although I don't care, I at least have to consider you. If I have to scare you away, I don't care if I have to help her."
"ah… "
"So, do you think I should help her?"
"Actually, if you still treat her as a friend..."
"She and I are not friends. You and I are not friends either. What you see in your eyes is never me."
Xia Mingzhi was right.
The person who is friends with Anya is the third generation of his reshaped personality.
He was friends with Che Linwan, and it was his second generation who reshaped his personality.
It was never him.
But the way he said it so directly made people feel a little aggrieved and awkward.
"I-I'm worried that Lawyer Harvey won't agree to help so easily. His attitude..."
"Harvey's attitude is not something you need to consider. Just tell me if you want me to help her. If I want Harvey to help, I will have my own way. And my way will definitely be exactly the same as my mother's. no the same."
For example, to grab someone else’s invitation? Che Linwan almost yelled.
Hold it in forcefully.
Hold it in.
He had really shown her too many good looks recently, making her forget her dangerous situation accidentally.
As long as you want it, I will do it.
Just your attitude.
No girl can refuse such a tone.
Che Linwan wanted to say for a moment, no. Don't help Anya. I don't know how he will answer.
But in the end he said, "If you can, please help her." He nodded readily, with an expression of "Understood!"
The reasons and excuses she prepared for her later turned into bubbles.
He doesn't need any nonsense because... he doesn't care at all
Che Linwan couldn't help but speculate.
What he kept saying to her was whether she could treat him as another person. So, he was actually approaching her from another person's perspective
It’s not that he thinks about it, it’s that “he” thinks about it. In order to coax "him" well, that's why he had to keep her by his side
My back felt hairy.
Forget it, forget it, don’t think about it anymore!
The flight ticket could not be booked for the time being. There was a strike at the city airport. She had to find a way to go to another city dozens of kilometers away to catch a plane. Moreover, the flight was not fixed. Whether she could connect smoothly depended on luck.
"What's wrong?" He didn't know when he walked up behind her, looked down at her, and gently put his hand on her shoulder.
Every time his fingers touched her shoulders, he always felt inexplicably threatened in his heart.
Although his attitude has been very good recently, very good, very good, good is a bit abnormal.
"No, it's okay. There have been severe strikes recently."
"That's what this city is like. Traffic is completely paralyzed. But it will pick up again soon. Their wild run is coming."
"ah?"
"A strike is a strike, and holidays can never be missed. That's the rule."
"All right."
I hope that I can successfully buy a ticket and the flight can take off by then.
When he pulled his fingers back, they brushed against the edge of her ear, causing a shuddering feeling.
"You are still... afraid of me."
She wanted to retort, but her lips moved and no sound came out.
It seems that he is indeed very scared, so he will not refute it.
"If it can help you relax, why don't you give it a try..."
"Try something!" Almost jumped up.
Xia Mingzhi covered her mouth and chuckled, "The newly opened spa downstairs. What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing! No..."
"Yeah. By the way, I'll go find Harvey tomorrow. Do you want to come together?"
"Okay." It's also been a long time since I saw Harvey.
"go to bed early."
He leaned over and whispered something in her ear, then walked away.
Che Linwan returned to the room, locked the door, and climbed into bed only to realize that his heartbeat was very fast, unhealthy, and his whole body was restless.
I couldn't help but touch my ears, they were burning hot...
No way? My heart felt cold for a while. He fell asleep drowsily.
So that night he dreamed of Xia Mingzhi.
The injured Xia Mingzhi curled up like a shrimp.
He looked at her painfully, his eyes sad and desolate.
She reached out to hug him, but found that she was just a shadow.
Then she saw a Xia Mingzhi, walked over, and kicked the first Xia Mingzhi hard on the forehead.
"Wait a minute..."
No one can hear her voice.
Then comes another summer solstice.
Each one came up to him and kicked him as if he were a street rat.
Suddenly, she finally understood that he was the first and the real one to this injured Xia Mingzhi.
But he has always been the one despised.
Since childhood, I have been alone.
Always, always alone.
The only person who truly loves him can be deeply hurt by him.
So he was destined to have nothing.
Che Linwan suddenly thought of something. The Xia Mingzhi she knew would be in inexplicable pain, and she felt extremely guilty and self-blame for Xia Xiyuan. This was something that should be avoided in reshaping personality, but it continued. down.
Perhaps, that is not the part left behind when the psychological hypnotist reshaped it, but the part that has always existed in the original personality.
Like resorting to violence when there is no other choice.
Hysterical and not caring about his own life.
In the end, which one is...
etc! Why does it feel like I'm being held by someone
Twist.
Mu? I really can't move.
The ghost is in bed.
