Wander sat down in a chair by the window.
There was actually a chair opposite, but Qin Jiu didn't sit there. He was lying on the back of Yuhuo's high chair and asked, "What are you looking for, so eager to flip through the phone?"
"Photo." You Huo didn't shy away and raised his phone.
"Newly received?" Qin Jiu reminded, "Didn't you go online?"
"No." Youhu glanced at him: "Don't ask where I came from?"
"Almost guessed."
"001's ranking didn't come in vain, and his observation skills are okay."
Youhuo shifted the focus of the phone to his right hand, so that Qin Qiu, who was above his head, could watch it together.
Qin Qiu snorted: "What about the comparison with Rank A?"
Youhuo said without turning his head, "Almost."
After he said that, his hair was ruffled.
You Huo passively resisted with a "tsk", his finger had already opened the photo.
The photos are not high-definition, the screen will always have water lines that get in the way, not to mention that 021 was taken in a hurry, and the first one was blurred.
But Qin Jiu was still able to recognize that it was a surveillance screen, and the screen was someone's confinement room.
He was a little surprised.
"Whose?" Qin Jiu asked, choking his head and tail.
"Old Yu." You Huo enlarged the picture, pointed to a figure in the picture and said, "This is it."
Although his face was blurred into a mosaic, Lao Yu's posture of hooking in front of his neck was really distinctive.
The pale bed and the mushy flower baskets are also very characteristic, and you can recognize it at a glance: "It should be in the hospital."
Qin Qiu lowered his fingers and moved the photo to the right, revealing another mosaic on the bed and asked, "Who is this?"
You are a little hesitant.
This seems to be the only thing in the whole photo that makes him feel unfamiliar.
Qin Qiu looked at the mosaic, and couldn't understand the purpose of 021: "Is there any other photos? You can see the eyes and nose clearly."
You Huo was still stunned.
Two seconds later he nodded and slid to the next picture.
The picture is instantly clear, just like the high myopia finally put on glasses.
This time, you can see the facial features of the person on the bed without zooming in.
"Do you know?" Qin Qiu asked.
He glanced at You Huo, the other's eyebrows were slightly raised, and he stared at the seriously ill woman, as if trying to imitate her appearance as if she was not sick, but also seemed to be in a trance.
After a while, he saw You Huo's brows loosen, and a self-deprecating smile emerged from his tightly pursed lips, and said, "I know, my mother."
Qin Qiu was completely stunned.
For a moment, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
He thought it was some distant relative who was wandering, or even an unrelated stranger...
Never thought this would be the answer.
You Huo looked at the photo quietly for a long time, until someone slapped his face soothingly with his fingers.
He came back to his senses and glanced at Qin Qiu: "Is it a bit of a surprise?"
Qin Qiu said, "It's really a bit."
"She—" The confused eyes fell back to the photo, and he said in a deep voice, "She died very early, I remember what she looked like when she wasn't sick, but it's been too long and it's blurry, and the photo is a little distorted, so... "
He was silent for a few seconds: "I didn't recognize it just now, I'm a little sorry for her."
The lights in the room were of a single tone, almost the same color as the face and lips, and it looked like… He was upset by this sudden photo and the people who suddenly appeared in the photo.
"It should be this time." You Huo's voice was still calm, but very low. He pointed to the photo and said, "Lao Yu had a very good relationship with her. It seems that he managed it before and after his death. My theoretical father is said to be a painter, a wanderer, right? The kind who runs away without a trace if he doesn't want to stay. , I haven't seen it, and no one will ask me before..."
Speaking of this, his usual sneering tone came out again, but he took it back in a blink of an eye.
He always used words like "should" and "as if" in these words. Qin Zhuo was keenly aware that he was vague and unfamiliar with that time, or those people and things.
Maybe it was because he was young at the time, but...
Wandering seems to be able to read his thoughts.
After a moment of silence, he explained: "I have always been in a boarding school, elementary school, junior high school, high school, and later military academies. When I was young, it was because no one took care of—"
He looked at the woman in the photo and said, "She's too busy to see her when she gets home on weekends or monthly holidays...not every time."
In my impression, she always seemed to be wearing a white coat, either just coming back or going out again.
There is not much communication between them. It may be that the mother and son are too similar, and they are not lively and enthusiastic people.
When Youhuo was very young, she would ask her any questions.
She is a smart and powerful person who can always give accurate answers, but the way she expresses it is too adult, and it is difficult for children to understand. Then she will use something more rational and complex to explain the previous answer.
It was as if she was not dealing with a few-year-old child, but some scholar or colleague.
Because the memory is really too faint and too few, when I think of her, my facial features are blurred, and I only remember a touch of white.
Youhuo recovered from his extremely vague memory and said to Qin Qiu, "That's all I remember... Maybe it's been tampered with."
The last time Chu Yue's words were still in their ears, they remembered it very clearly.
Chu Yue said that Wandering's childhood and adolescence were tied to the system, and the core of the system's upgrade was hidden in his eyes, seeing what he saw and experiencing what he experienced. If there is no impression of this, it must be disturbed memory.
Interference must exist, but Qin Jiu hopes that about his family, at least about his parents, he can still retain a bit of truth about wandering.
Because he has an intuition...
If these are disturbed, the truth may make Wandering even more unhappy.
Qin Qiu was a little dazed when he looked at the photo.
The woman was leaning against the head of the bed, holding Lao Yu's hand and explaining something.
After looking at it for a long time, I can indeed see the familiarity from her eyebrows. Qin Qiu looked carefully, hoping to see some regret or deep emotions from the blurred images.
However no.
She was like saying something trivial.
Qin Qiu said: "The tampered part should be related to the system, and these are not included."
"Not necessarily." Youhuo rubbed his finger on the screen, turned his head and said to Qin Qiu: "Her disease developed rapidly, and I never went to the hospital once. According to my memory, I should have Never seen it, but…”
"A bet?" You Huo said casually, as if he was talking about a little game to pass the time.
He swiped his finger back, and the photo was changed.
The woman was still talking, but Lao Yu was very excited.
Swipe again.
The woman was indifferent, Lao Yu was holding on to her hair, as if making a difficult choice.
Keep paddling.
After another one, a third person finally appeared in the picture.
That was Wandering himself many years ago. According to his memory, he should not have appeared in the ward.
The moment he saw this photo, he suddenly grabbed something.
He seemed to smell a strong smell of disinfectant, a special smell unique to the hospital...
There is also the stunned face of Lao Yu.
After wandering for a long time, he snorted softly.
"Look, the bet is won."
He lifted the phone up.
The fingers were suddenly empty, and someone took the phone away.
"Not necessarily." Qin Qiu's arm was wrapped around, his muscles were warm and firm, "It's just a confinement room, it doesn't mean it's completely real."
Youhuo made a "hmm" sound.
It was a dark night outside the window. The figures of him and Qin Qiu were clearly reflected on the glass. Although they were phantoms, they were more real than any memory.
Suddenly he felt nothing.
"I want to ask about Lao Yu, I think he also wants to say." You Huo said.
In the blink of an eye, his tone was much better than before.
Qin researcher replied: "Choose a suitable time."
"Wu Li said that he had something to tell us last time, but we haven't finished talking yet." You Huo said again.
"And pick the right time."
"I suspect it's the same thing on both sides."
"That's better, check for leaks and fill in the gaps."
Youhuo nodded, the hair on the back of his head rubbed against Qin Qiu's chest: "But Lao Yu doesn't necessarily tell the truth."
"Don't forget your stupid brother, you can bluff him if you really can't." Qin Qiu reminded.
"It makes sense."
"What about me?" Qin Qiu asked.
Youhuo looked at him sideways, his thin eyelids were drawn into long and narrow arcs by the light: "What are you?"
"Mr. Examiner is stealing the liquidation list here, but the biggest enemy is left out. Isn't it shameful for me." Qin Research simply made a joke.
You Huo looked at him from his half-squinted eyes, suddenly reached out and rubbed his neck and Adam's apple, and said in a low voice, "Examiner Gi's punishment task... just make the chief examiner happy."
…
The curtains are heavy and impervious to light when closed.
The coolness of the night was draped over the windowpanes, which could still be transmitted into the room through the fabric, but it was completely invisible in the bathroom.
The slender and slender palms rested on the glass full of water vapor, straight and curved in the steaming heat and rushing water.
The water flowed down Wandering's neck, along the thin texture of the shoulders, waist and abdomen, to the mermaid line and hip bones.
Qin Qiu's kiss fell on You Huo's shoulder, the other party raised his neck, and turned his head to look at him with squinted eyes.
He knew that his big examiner was a tough one. No matter what he saw, remembered, or encountered, he could always calm himself down in the shortest time possible.
Between them, there is never any need for one-sided comfort and pity.
I didn't come to save you, I came to love you.
