Ji Ting, who has been single for 23 years, has almost no doubts after preconceived that these scars were bitten by insects. Although he occasionally had strange dreams during the period, he didn't think too much about it. He only thought that he was caused by hormones. After all, every time she wakes up, her clothes are in good condition.
However, after Li Tuo said that Shen Tuchuan still likes her, and that he has loved her for ten years, which can be said to be a deep love, she looked at these scars again, and finally realized belatedly that no insects would bite out such marks.
And Shen Tuchuan, who was so nervous when he saw his bare feet, just gave her a box of medicine after seeing the marks on his body, and never cared about it again. Even the mosquito net she wanted was never taken care of. To her, his neglect of the matter itself was particularly out of character.
but! She never found out!
Ji Ting's expression can almost be described as grief and indignation. The drug that makes people fall asleep and the hickey, these two things are connected, she can think of a hundred ways to commit a crime, and in order to verify whether Shen Tuchuan is innocent, she firmly put the He drank the poured tea in one gulp, washed the cup and destroyed the body, then went back to bed and lay down.
In such a situation where her mind was full of things, it is reasonable to say that she could not fall asleep, but as soon as she touched the bed, she became so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. One second before she fell asleep, she found out in despair that what Shen Tuchuan had done could not be cleared up.
Is he still a human being when the little girl who is dizzy is doing the same thing? !
After waking up, Ji Ting opened his eyes. The first thing he did was to scold Shen Tuchuan for being a beast in his clothes. He looked gentle, but he didn't expect to do such a nasty thing. Even knowing that he had been looking for him for ten years was moved Then dissipated a lot.
Originally, he planned to pretend that he didn't know that he liked him, but now it seems that if he continues to pretend, one day he may become pregnant in a dream. For the sake of his mental health, Ji Ting decided to speak up.
With Shen Tuchuan's temper, he might become angry for a moment, but as long as he still has her in his heart, he will soon turn the corner.
Ji Ting made up his mind, sat up from the bed sullenly, looked up at the black mirror ahead, only his own blurry figure could be seen from so far away. She sighed, feeling that she had received too much information today. It wasn't until Li Tuo arrived that she realized that the real reason for Shen Tuchuan's unhappiness was that he didn't get what he wanted.
Be sure to find a gentle way to make this clear. Ji Ting stood up and poured a glass of water. Just as he was about to drink, he heard a knock on the door, and then Shen Tuchuan's voice sounded: "It's time for lunch."
"Okay, I'll go out now." Ji Ting hurriedly drank two sips of water, put down the glass and went out, stopped suddenly when he was approaching the door, a slight hesitation flashed across his face.
It was just after she woke up that Shen Tuchuan came to look for her. She was puzzled before, but she didn't take it to heart. Now that she had just experienced the tea, she began to doubt again.
She fell asleep when she was sleepy and there was no special pattern, but he never interrupted him once, and every time he looked for her it was within a few minutes after she woke up. Is it too coincidental
Ji Ting's eyes fell on the black mirror, and the feeling of disobedience became more and more serious, reaching the point where she could not ignore it, like a mess of wool balls, she couldn't find one, two, three at first, and when she caught the end of the thread, Pulled out all doubts.
"Hurry up, the noodles are going to be lumpy." Shen Tuchuan outside the door urged.
"Ah, here we come."
Ji Ting ran out in a hurry, without saying a word about the tea. But after the two of them entered the restaurant, Shen Tuchuan took the initiative to ask, "Did you go to my room today?"
"Huh?" Ji Ting paused his fingers and looked at him with an innocent face, "Yes, I have been there. I wanted to make tea like you, but when I was about to get tea, Li Tuo came. I forgot about this, what happened?"
She didn't believe that this man would be so perverted that he installed a camera in his bedroom.
Shen Tuchuan shrugged his shoulders: "It's okay, I also saw that things in the room seemed to have moved, so I'm asking you."
Ji Ting gave a dry laugh, bowed his head and began to eat his own noodles, the two of them didn't speak any more, and went back to their respective rooms for lunch break after eating.
Ji Ting wasn't sleepy at all, and when he got back to the house, he felt that he still had to try it, it would be bad if he was wronged. Thinking of this, she opened a can of snacks on the sofa, looked at the sharp lid of the can, bit her teeth and pretended to be careless, and scratched her hand directly.
She originally thought that Shen Tuchuan valued her health so much, so she made a small cut to test it out, but she accidentally cut a long wound on the palm of her right hand with too much force. Now there is no need to act, she also groaned in pain.
She got up and wanted to find gauze, but as soon as she stood up, she heard a slightly hasty knock on the door, and her heart sank quickly. He could see it.
The door opened, and the anxiety and anger in Shen Tuchuan's eyes were instantly concealed. He stood outside holding a bag of potato chips: "I saw it in my room just now. Did you forget to take it back... What happened to your hand?"
... Just pretend to be your grandson. Ji Ting felt contemptuous and a little angry, but still reluctantly put it off: "I accidentally scratched it when I opened the snacks just now."
"Show me." Shen Tuchuan frowned and grabbed her wrist, took a look at the wound, entered her room, went straight to the corner to find the medicine box, and took her to the sofa to bandage it.
Ji Ting looked at his serious eyelashes and sighed inwardly. Ever since she knew what he had suffered to find her, her heart had grown a little bit. She had been monitored and drugged, but she was only a little angry, not too angry.
While he was cleaning her wound, she glanced around the room, looking for a place where the camera might be installed, and then her gaze slowly fell on the mirror not far away.
This mirror is really too abrupt, like a huge black pupil, it has the function of monitoring people. Ji heard his evaluation when he saw it for the first time, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
"It's a good thing there's no rust or anything like that, otherwise I'll take you to the hospital." Shen Tuchuan bandaged the wound on her hand with a slightly relaxed expression.
Ji Ting glanced at the bandage he wrapped, and his eyes gradually became strange: "You wrapped it so well." It was almost comparable to a professional doctor. Although it was only a small injury, it could also see the skills.
"I learned a little from my surgeon friend before." Shen Tuchuan wiped the blood on the ground with lowered eyes.
Ji Ting's heart skipped a beat, and she wanted to ask another question, but the words stopped suddenly. Forget it, asking him is also full of lies, why not check it yourself.
Soon it was night again, Ji Ting went to his room as before, and Shen Tuchuan put the poured tea in front of her: "Drink it quickly, finish it and go to bed."
Ji Ting glanced at the teacup, but didn't move: "Are you going upstairs to pack your things tonight?"
"Well, there is still some finishing work." Shen Tuchuan said calmly.
Ji Ting glanced at him sideways: "What the hell are you packing? I can hear the noise when I'm so sound asleep. It seems to be a very heavy guy."
"It's still something I made before. It takes up too much space, so I want to throw it out." Shen Tuchuan smiled.
Ji Ting was silent for a moment: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen what you made, so I'll go upstairs with you to have a look."
"It's all made before. It's nothing fancy. If you want it, I'll make some small ones for you in the future and put them in your room as decoration." Shen Tuchuan said warmly.
Having said that, Ji Ting didn't force it, and sat there chatting with him about a bunch of things. Shen Tuchuan chatted with her for a while, and reminded: "The tea is getting cold."
"Drink it as herbal tea when it's cold. I drank too many drinks today, and I'm not thirsty. Besides, I didn't drink yours." Ji Ting took a magazine with a smile, but didn't touch the cup of tea.
"I'll drink it later," Shen Tuchuan said helplessly, "Hurry up and go back after drinking, I still have some business to attend to."
"Then you can deal with it, I'll be here with you." Ji Ting pretended to read the book seriously, and decided that no matter what he said next, he would pretend not to hear it.
Shen Tuchuan stared at her fixedly, and sighed for a long time: "Then you should be here." After speaking, he sat down at the table, took the document and began to open it, Ji Ting secretly glanced at him, before he looked over He quickly lowered his head and resolutely refused to meet his gaze.
Time passed silently in the quiet room, and soon after ten o'clock at night, Shen Tuchuan put down the file and looked at her: "Still sleeping?"
"Not sleepy." Ji Ting replied vaguely.
Shen Tuchuan got up and looked at the tea in the cup: "Then you sit down for a while, you must go to bed at eleven o'clock, you know?"
"Well, I know I know."
"I'm going to the bathroom." After Shen Tuchuan finished speaking, he turned and went into the bathroom. The moment the door closed, Ji Ting put down the magazine, poured the tea in his cup directly into the gap in the sofa, then rushed to the tea cabinet, squeezed it A pinch of yellow powder was folded back, and I poured a cup of water into another cup and stirred it well.
She had deduced that the thing that made her drowsy was this powder, not some tea, so she only took the powder when she took it.
It only took her a very short time to finish all this, so short that it took another minute for Shen Tuchuan to come out of the bathroom.
"The herbal tea is so astringent that it doesn't taste good at all, you can drink warm water, I just poured it for you." Ji Ting pushed the cup of warm water towards him.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at it, picked it up and drank it. Ji Ting heaved a sigh of relief, and put the hand that had squeezed the powder into the pocket of the sweater. The powder was made of some unknown, and it smelled a little like ginger. She was afraid that he would smell it, so she deliberately threw two roses in the cup Fortunately, he drank it smoothly.
After the task was completed, Ji Ting didn't linger any longer, and turned back to his room on his own initiative. Considering what she might be watching, she washed up and lay down on the bed as usual, closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.
Unexpectedly, it really made her fall asleep, but she had something on her mind, and she didn't drink the so-called refreshing tea, so she woke up after a few hours of sleep, and it was two or three o'clock in the morning.
There was no familiar sound of heavy objects falling from upstairs today, presumably Shen Tuchuan drank medicine and fell asleep. Ji sounded rubbing his face, and went to the next door when he regained his energy.
After arriving at the door of Shentuchuan, she knocked on the door tentatively: "Xiaochuan?"
There was no movement inside, so she breathed a sigh of relief, immediately unscrewed the door carefully, and walked inside lightly. Like her room, Shen Tuchuan's room was lit with a dim night light. Although it wasn't bright enough, she could still see everything in the room clearly.
Ji Ting went straight to the mirror, saw his own image reflected on the black side, took a deep breath and lay down on the mirror, tried to look inside, but couldn't see anything except his own reflection.
Is it really a camera and has nothing to do with this mirror? Ji Ting frowned, and was about to look elsewhere, when the person on the bed suddenly turned over, she was terrified, and the moment she turned around, she pressed her hand somewhere on the mirror, just touching a pimple.
She moved her fingertips, and only after Shen Tuchuan calmed down again did she turn around and press the pimple. The black coating on the mirror is then gone, leaving only clear glass.
Ji Ting looked at her own room on the other side of the glass, and her pupils seemed to dilate a little. After a while, she suddenly came back to her senses and rushed towards her room.
After returning to the bedroom, she was not surprised to see the still black mirror. Although Ji Ting was already mentally prepared, when he thought of living under Shen Tuchuan's surveillance during this period, that uncomfortable feeling still overflowed.
She bit her lip, went back to Shentuchuan's room sullenly, turned off the viewing function of the mirror, and started looking for the key to the u-shaped lock on the fifth floor. Since she wanted to investigate, she simply cleared up all doubts. She wanted to know what this guy had been doing during this period of time.
It took a while to search for the key, but she found it in the end. When Ji Ting was about to go out, he glanced at Shen Tuchuan, hesitated when he saw his peaceful sleeping face, and finally walked to the bedside. He was wearing a complete set of pajamas, and the waistband of the pajama pants was elastic. With a light pull, you could see the state of the birthmark underneath.
She held her breath and looked at him for a moment. After confirming that he was in a deep sleep state, she reached for his trousers and waist with trembling hands—
Forget it, dare not. Ji Ting gave up resolutely. When he left, he saw the mobile phone on the table next to him, and took it away without hesitation.
Shen Tuchuan didn't tell her some things, but someone would definitely say that she wanted to ask Li Tuo what was left unfinished when they met.
She was the only one awake in the huge villa, and when Ji Ting reached the stairs, she couldn't wait to call Li Tuo. She didn't want to call him at this time, but she didn't have a mobile phone. If she missed tonight, she didn't know when she would have the chance.
No one answered the phone. Ji Ting clamped the phone between his ears and shoulders, tilted his head to unlock it, dialed the number, and walked upstairs.
She searched around the stairs but couldn't find the light, so she could only turn on the flashlight that came with her phone and walk along the road ahead.
There is a long corridor in front of the eyes. Go straight ahead, and there is a door at the end, and there is only this corridor and one door on the entire fifth floor.
The secret that Li Tuo said is obviously here.
Ji Ting's heart was beating like a drum, and after standing at the door for a while, he grabbed the doorknob and heaved a sigh of relief when he turned it. Just leave it unlocked.
However, the relaxation was only for a short moment. After unscrewing it, her heart rose again. She only felt that once the door was opened, the huge space inside was like a black hole, which could suck her into the abyss at any time.
She looked for the wall by the light of her mobile phone, and immediately pressed the light switch when she saw it. The room was bright as day for a moment. She took a breath and turned to look at the scene in the room, but there was no sound for a moment.
This is the house she used to live in... No, to be exact, it is arranged according to the house she and Shen Tuchuan lived in, except that there is no wall between these rooms, and all the scenes in the bedroom, living room, and kitchen can be seen at a glance .
Ji Ting passed the living room in a daze, saw the half cup of water on the tea table, and couldn't say a word. Because she is jumping directly from the timeline, these things are just things she saw more than ten days ago, and she remembers every detail clearly.
As for the water on the table, she just took a few sips and put it there after she finished talking about going grocery shopping.
She glanced at the two bedrooms, and her own room even had clothes in it, and judging by the degree of damage, it was obvious that they hadn't been bought and hung up later.
All these years, in order to find himself, Shen Tuchuan sold his house and spent all his savings, living in a miserable state, but still kept her things well. It was hard for her to imagine what kind of mood he was in when he did these things.
The phone in his hand vibrated suddenly, Ji Ting hurriedly lowered his head, saw Li Tuo's name and connected.
"Shentu, is there something wrong with the sudden call?" Li Tuo's anxious voice sounded from the opposite side.
Ji Ting paused: "I'm Ji Ting."
"Ji Ting?" Li Tuo was puzzled at first, then became more anxious, "Did something happen to Shen Tu?"
"It's all right," Ji Ting hurriedly comforted, "It's me... I saw something on the fifth floor."
Li Tuo breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice softened: "Did you see that? After Shentu sold the house, he packed a few large boxes and put them in my house temporarily. Later, when he got a stable residence, he took all the things away. I thought he I lost everything that should be lost, but I didn't expect him to keep everything."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that either." Ji Ting smiled wryly.
Li Tuo sighed: "I came to him when he was in a coma. After seeing everything on the fifth floor, I knew that he might not be able to forget you in his life. Fortunately, you came back, otherwise I don't know how much he will suffer."
"Ji Ting, he really suffered too much for you. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so you may not understand it, but I know that you are more important than life to him..."
Ji Ting quietly listened to Li Tuo's words, his eyes kept scanning everything here, and suddenly paused. No, this room is the only one on the fifth floor. It stands to reason that the area of the room should be the same as the combined area of all the rooms on the floors below, but although this place is large, it is obviously not comparable to the total area downstairs.
What's more, there are none of the sundries in Shentu Chuankou that have not been cleaned up here.
Ji Ting frowned and got up, searched around the wall, and found another door behind the curtain, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all.
"By the way, why are you going upstairs so late, don't you..."
"Li Tuo." Ji Ting interrupted him.
"What's wrong?"
Ji Ting opened the door and walked into this hidden room in the dark: "When you came to the fifth floor, did you see any other rooms besides the ones outside?"
"Isn't that the only one? I didn't see anything else." Li Tuo replied.
Ji Ting found the light, turned it on and looked at everything here, his eyes widened instantly.
"Is there another room? There should be only one room on the fifth floor, or Shentu has redecorated it..."
"What is it that you wanted to say to me during the day but didn't say?" Ji Hearing realized that his tone was not very good, and added after a while, "You should tell me everything, I will only be able to tell you in the future if I know everything. Ogawa is better."
In the empty room, the ground was full of broken pieces of clay. Although they had been broken, it was still possible to see that they were originally human sculptures. What's more, there were still unbroken ones in the corner opposite her, each of which had quite familiar growths. Face. And next to these things is a rather large hammer.
Ji Ting swallowed her saliva, feeling like goosebumps were about to come up, Rao knew that Shen Tuchuan loved her too much, but when he saw the room full of 'myself' and the fragments of 'myself', I was still very nervous up.
Doing drugs, monitoring, making sculptures, etc., are all really just because you love her
Thinking about the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, it should be the sound of Shen Tuchuan smashing these sculptures. When he was smashing these things, what was he thinking in his heart? Ji Ting didn't dare to think deeply.
However, even if she didn't think deeply about it, after Li Tuo thought about it, he still brought the truth to her: "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Shen Tu didn't behave like this when he was looking for you before, but since two years ago... he seems to believe that Your disappearance was intentional."
"When I drank with him before, he said that he hated you after he was drunk, and said that he would make you pay the price."
Ji Ting's face changed instantly.
"I originally wanted to tell you, and then let you coax him, but after thinking about it, I guess he was just in a momentary mood. He looks stubborn, but he treats you very well. Now that you can come back, it is already very good. How could he be willing to be angry with you..."
Li Tuo said it easily, but Ji Ting broke out in a cold sweat instantly, because based on her understanding of Shen Tuchuan's character design, she was sure that what he told Li Tuo when he was drunk was his true thoughts.
All the doubts were answered in an instant, why he has never felt happy for so many years, why he drugged her, why he watched her, why he made a sculpture about her, but then destroyed it with his own hands, because he hates her!
He hated her sudden disappearance, and even believed that she had left on purpose, so after taking him back, he did these things without hesitation. Ji Ting squatted down and looked at the various broken limbs on the ground, as if he saw his own future that revealed the truth. It would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.
Even if this is a mission world, she can start over if she dies, but that doesn't mean she isn't afraid of death!
After she was a little dazed, she suddenly realized that now that Shen Tuchuan didn't knock her into a sculpture, she obviously didn't want to do it yet, and she could completely gain favor with him before he made a cruel move, but if he found out that she knew his secret, Everything is different.
Thinking of this, she was about to leave in a hurry, but before she moved, there was a shadow in front of her, and Ji Ting froze.
"Didn't I tell you that the upstairs is dirty, so don't come here?" Shen Tuchuan's voice sounded behind him, and then he sighed, "Why are you so disobedient?"
Ji Ting turned back with a stiff face, and looked up at him: "You, you're awake."
"Do you think I won't wake up?" Shen Tuchuan smiled slightly.
This clearly meant that she knew what she meant by taking the medicine. Ji Ting's heart trembled. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Tuo's voice from the phone: "Shentu is awake too? Why do you two wake up so early?"
Ji Ting wants to cry but has no tears, Li Tuo, can you not speak? Shen Tuchuan's expression remained unchanged, he leaned over and took away the mobile phone in her hand, while resting the mobile phone on his ear, he stared at Ji Ting quietly: "We are going to go to sleep now, if there is nothing else, we will hang up first. "
After speaking, he hung up the phone, and only Ji Ting was left to face him in an instant.
He stretched out his hand to pinch Ji Ting's chin, his cool fingers screaming that no one could ignore—
"Wouldn't it be better to be less curious? At least you'll be free for two more days."
