Chen Yang got up from the bed in a panic, and he accidentally stepped on Chao Jian without paying attention.
She bent her legs and knelt on his abdomen.
He groaned in dismay, veins popping out on his forehead.
Chen Yang hurriedly lifted his knees away from his abdomen and asked him nervously how he was.
Before Chao Jian could say anything, the barking of a dog and the scratching of the door outside the room drew Chen Yang's attention.
"Just lie down first, I'll go take a look."
Chen Yang didn't care about Chao Jian anymore. He jumped off the bed anxiously and ran towards the door without even putting on his shoes.
"… "
Chao Jian grabbed something and threw it to the end of the bed. He found it was Chen Yang's pillow, so he picked it up silently.
Continue lying down.
Chen Yang opened the door. The puppy was still scratching the door with its paws. It tilted its furry little head and looked at him with its amber eyes.
“Woof woof woof—”
"Woo-woo-woo!"
"Ouch..."
“Woof woof!”
Chen Yang stared at the puppy's wagging tail as if he had seen a ghost. Why did it look so energetic and seemed to be trying to please him...
The scene before him was different from what he had imagined after hearing the dog barking in the room.
He thought there were uninvited guests in the house. The puppy sensed the danger and alerted him and Chao Jian.
Or maybe something happened to its owner, and it sensed it, and wanted to seek help from them in panic and helplessness.
Chen Yang was confused by the unexpected situation. He looked at the messy scratches under the door and then at the dog's raised paw. It was really intense.
"03, what do you want to tell me?"
Chen Yang tried to communicate with the puppy, but the only response he got was the dog's barking.
Does the puppy’s reaction have anything to do with Wu Yu
Chen Yang leaned against the door and looked into the pair of amber eyes. The fact that he could think of this meant that Wu Yu was fine, at least he did not die in the mission world.
Otherwise he would think that the dog was his own and Wu Yu’s part did not exist.
There is no such person as Wu Yu.
Chen Yang thought about it and realized that it was not necessarily the case!
According to Wu Yu, if a tasker dies during the mission, only the tasker who has come into contact with him will remember it.
Wu Yu's partner died in the mission world, and Uncle Wu forgot about it, but he remembered it.
His memory was not cleared.
Wu Yu was wiped out, and even if the whole world forgot she had been there, he would most likely still remember it.
The barking of dogs in his ears continued, and Chen Yang's temples throbbed. Animals have spirituality, especially canines.
Maybe the dog is like this because Wu Yu has returned.
Chen Yang ran back to the room, picked up his phone and called Wu Yu, but the same message came up: the service area was out of range.
He hung up and dialed another number.
After the call was connected, the first thing that came out was Aunt Wu's dissatisfaction at being woken up, and a bit of a woman's instinctive wariness.
"Who is it? Calling you so early."
"Why are you pinching me? Don't kick me, it's early!"
Uncle Wu held onto the edge of the bed to avoid falling. He said sleepily, "Good morning! Why are you calling me at this hour?"
The middle-aged couple's daily commotion made Chen Yang relax a little. He asked, "Uncle, is Wu Yu back?"
"ah?"
Chen Yang's fingertips holding the phone turned pale in an instant.
That response sounded to him like someone asking, "Who is Wu Yu?" He trembled his lips slightly and spoke hoarsely, "I want to ask..."
"Oh, you mean Xiaoyu, she didn't come back."
Uncle Wu interrupted Chen Yang. He seemed to be much more sober, and his voice was no longer fuzzy: "If she comes back, she will definitely go directly to your place. Isn't the little one still at your house?"
Chen Yang's cold fingers loosened and a layer of sweat broke out on his back.
Uncle Wu asked suspiciously, "Zao Zao, why do I hear a dog barking over there? Do you have another dog?"
Chen Yang rubbed his forehead with the back of his right hand to get rid of the coolness: "No, it's the one Wu Yu had."
Uncle Wu couldn't believe it: "Isn't the little one mute? Why is he barking?"
Chen Yang said he didn’t know.
"I was woken up by its cry. I thought Wu Yu had returned and it had sensed something and wanted me to take it home. Now I don't know what's going on."
"I still want to send it home. A dog is a dog. It can't be that smart."
Uncle Wu laughed and asked, "Why is it barking all the time? Is it hungry?"
Chen Yang: “…”
Will it
Uncle Wu said confidently: "It must be hungry. Give it something, some bread soaked in milk."
"When Xiaoyu comes back and finds that the dog can bark, she will be so happy."
Chen Yang responded with a few words absentmindedly and then ended the call. With a try-it attitude, he went to the kitchen to get a small shallow bowl, soaked the bread in milk and put it on the ground.
The puppy leaned its head forward to smell the food, then started eating it with a smacking sound.
The little tail wagged even more happily.
Chen Yang was stunned. Was he really just hungry
"Bang"
There was a noise coming from the room. Chen Yang knew it was the sound of a cane hitting something. He was very familiar with it.
Only then did Chen Yang remember that there was another person on the bed.
He walked quickly into the room and saw that the young man had stretched out his hand to the bedside, holding a cane, in the same posture as he had seen before he went out.
Are you seriously injured and can’t get up
Chen Yang walked forward and lifted the quilt, looking at the boy's abdomen through his pajamas: "Can you sit up?"
Chao Jian didn't give any response.
Chen Yang deeply felt that compared with the little dog in the kitchen, the person in front of him was simply hell-level difficult to deal with.
"Then let me show you?"
I didn’t say no, I just want it.
Chen Yang's hands were hurting and he couldn't unbutton the clothes, so he simply lifted up the hem of Chao Jian's pajamas.
What catches the eye are lines and curves with a strong sense of youth.
The abdominal muscles are not thick, just a thin layer that rises and falls with breathing.
Chen Yang looked at it, recalled his own figure at this age, and couldn't help but secretly make a comparison.
At that time, he liked to play basketball and jog every morning. He was young and energetic, and his muscles were so thin.
Chen Yang sighed in his heart. He now also has abdominal muscles, and they are hard, unlike when he was young. Not only are they hard, but they are also flexible and elastic.
After all, the age groups are different.
Chen Yang collected his attention and continued to examine Chao Jian's abdomen with his eyes. If he had kneeled down a little bit, he would have ruined a child's happy life.
Thinking of this, Chen Yang felt a little scared. He asked with concern: "How is it? Are you okay? Can I give you a massage?"
Chao Jian closed his eyes slightly and asked: "Which button?"
Chen Yang pointed at his abdomen: "This."
Chao Jian pulled the quilt up and said coldly, "No need."
"I was a little cruel that time."
Chen Yang didn't blame the boy for being angry. If it were him, he would have gone crazy with the pain on the spot. He reached out his hand, intending to massage it a few times to see how it went.
"Go away."
Chao Jian grabbed the cane and put it between Chen Yang's hand and his body: "Don't touch me."
Chen Yang's expression was hard to describe. This scene was just like a dandy young master flirting with a virgin girl.
He secretly observed the boy's expression. Was he shy
Chen Yang couldn't help feeling a little weird in his heart. They had been living together for so long and had slept in the same room since the first day.
In Chen Yang's opinion, Chao Jian is the same age as his sister, six years younger than him. He treats her as his younger brother and unconsciously gives in to her in daily life.
Chen Yang never thought there was anything wrong with this.
But now...
If a boy becomes shy in front of him because of a normal action, that emotion will infect him and he will also feel awkward.
Chen Yang frowned. Should they sleep in separate rooms
"Oh."
The young man's sneer rang in his ears, and Chen Yang lowered his eyes to look.
Chao Jian poked the back of his hand with his cane: "Don't even think about touching me if you've touched a dog."
It's not shyness, it's disgust. Chen Yang's discomfort disappeared without a trace. He comforted her, "If you don't want to touch me, then don't touch me. Just take it easy first. If it still doesn't work, we'll go to the hospital."
Chao Jian breathed a sigh of relief: "The dog is dead?"
Chen Yang twitched his lips: "Don't be so angry, it's so abnormal, I'm panicking."
Chao Jian threw away his crutches and sat up, leaning his back against the head of the bed and bending his legs: "If you wake up after sleeping for such a long time, what is the first thing you do?"
Chen Yang said without thinking: "Pee."
After saying this, his face changed and he quickly ran to the living room and quickly found the water traces.
It wasn't just one puddle, it was several puddles, as if someone was peeing while walking.
Chen Yang fell onto the sofa.
Chao Jian walked out of the room with a crutch, his eyes swept across the puddles of water, and frowned: "After waking up, you pee first and then eat. This is the case for humans and animals. How can this be called abnormal?"
“The key is that it barked.”
Chen Yang pointed at the puppy still babbling in the kitchen: "You have to know that before..."
Chao Jian's face suddenly darkened: "I don't want to know. Don't tell me about cats, dogs, flowers, and plants."
"… "
Chen Yang went to get medicine for the boy without saying anything. He accidentally found a small puddle of water and almost stepped on it. He avoided it speechlessly.
How could it be so chaotic so early in the morning
Chen Yang cleaned up a few puddles of water and supervised Chao Jian to finish his medicine. The one in the kitchen also finished eating and pushed the bowl out with his paws.
Seeing Chen Yang looking over, the puppy pushed with its paw even faster and barked.
That means, even if you are not full, you still want to eat.
Chen Yang was stunned for a while, then said, "You just woke up, you can't eat too much at once. I suggest you eat small meals frequently over the next two days, step by step."
I don't know if the puppy understood or not. It wagged its tail and lay down on the mat on the balcony.
Chen Yang touched the tip of his nose, and Wu Yu's 03 changed.
The original 03 would stare at him intently when he saw him, without moving his tail or barking, just staring at him without moving his eyes.
Now 03... is one of the smarter puppies among ordinary puppies.
The weird feeling of disharmony is gone.
If the puppy had not been taken from Uncle Wu, Chen Yang would have suspected that it had been swapped.
The change is so huge, they are completely two different dogs.
Chen Yang twisted his neck to look at the puppy on the balcony. He knew that the worst thing to do was to complicate things. It would be like winding a ball of yarn, which would only entangle yourself.
But this won’t work. This isn’t going to be easy at all.
Chen Yang felt very uneasy and didn't even have breakfast. He took the puppy to the pet hospital in the morning and accompanied Chao Jian in a low mood.
It took a whole morning to complete all the necessary examinations, and the doctor's diagnosis was: the dog is very healthy.
Chen Yang pointed at 03 lying at his feet: "Is it really normal?"
The doctor smiled and said, "Let me put it this way. I have been working in veterinary medicine for nearly ten years, and I have never seen such a healthy dog."
He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "Excuse me, how did you raise it?"
Chen Yang didn't hear the doctor's words clearly. His mind was confused. Such an abnormal dog was normal. Then what was abnormal? Me who firmly believed that it was abnormal
So confusing.
Chen Yang pressed his forehead with a headache.
On the way here, he was still thinking about what he would do if the examination revealed any abnormalities, such as blood or heart problems, etc.
The result is that everything is normal.
The doctor didn't get an answer, but he could understand it to some extent. He thought it was some special training method that was not convenient to disclose to the outside world.
"What breed is your dog?"
Chen Yang said: "Local dog."
"The face doesn't look like it." The doctor observed carefully, "The fur color, eyeballs, and body shape don't match the characteristics of a local dog, and the base of its tail..."
After Chen Yang heard what he said, he said dryly, "Mixed-blood dog."
"Doctor, I'm telling you the truth. This dog is raised by a friend of mine. She recently had something to do and gave it to me. It used to be a mute dog that never barked."
Chen Yang looked worried: "I don't know why it started barking so early this morning, so I brought it to the hospital for a checkup."
"That shouldn't be the case. Its vocal cords are very healthy." The doctor looked thoughtful. "If it didn't bark before, there is only one possibility."
Chen Yang's heartbeat quickened: "What?"
The doctor gave a two-word answer: "Shy."
Chen Yang: “…”
"What will happen when we arrive in a strange place?" The doctor asked himself and answered, "We will feel awkward, not knowing where to put our hands and feet, and we won't know whether to stand or sit. We will not be able to adapt, and we will feel panic and uneasy."
The doctor motioned Chen Yang to look at the puppy: "I think it is about one year old, which is equivalent to a newly grown human."
The meaning is clear: people will be afraid when they are in unfamiliar places, and so will dogs.
Chen Yang listened to the doctor's opinion but did not express his opinion.
"The unfamiliar environment makes the animal feel a sense of crisis, so it will protect itself. This is not its protective measure." The doctor said, "Because it thinks that keeping quiet is a way to please humans, which can reduce the chance of it being hurt."
Chen Yang glanced at 03 who was circling and biting his tail: "But I just said that the dog is raised by my friend. It is at my friend's place..."
"That makes your friend uncomfortable."
The doctor understood what Chen Yang wanted to say, and he said warmly: "It likes your surroundings more, so it barks."
Chen Yang was speechless.
The doctor clicked the mouse and asked Chen Yang if he had any questions.
Chen Yang had questions, which piled up like a mountain.
"It's not new to my place. It's been here for two or three days. It was sleeping the whole time and just woke up this morning. That's when it started barking."
Chen Yang frowned: "And it stared at me the first time it saw me, and it has been like that every time since then."
The doctor judged: "It likes you."
Chen Yang disagreed strongly. For the sake of a harmonious doctor-patient relationship, he did not show it too obviously, but added: "Don't wag your tail, and don't rub against me."
The doctor smiled and said, "Sir, people are different, and dogs are different. Every dog expresses affection differently."
Chen Yang was completely speechless.
Although Chen Yang still wanted to ask more questions, the doctor was obviously not on the same page with him. He fastened the dog's leash and led it to the boy with his eyes closed at the back.
"let's go."
Chao Jian looked at Chen Yang expressionlessly: "What did you find out?"
Chen Yang answered the question guiltily: "It's almost noon, let's eat outside and find a restaurant that allows customers to bring dogs in."
He pursed his lips against Jian's: "For the last time."
He pointed at the puppy on the ground and laughed coldly: "If you get startled by this thing again..."
Chen Yang waited, but the second half didn't come out. He wanted to know it very much so that he could be mentally prepared.
"How is it?" Chen Yang asked, unable to help himself.
Chao Jian stood up with crutches, his tall figure stretched out. He lowered his head and looked down at Chen Yang: "You can take it with you to the mission world and let it be your partner."
Chen Yang resisted the urge to roll his eyes: "It doesn't have an ID number, so you can't get in."
Chao Jian's eyes darkened, and his voice was cold: "You have the ID number, so you can take it with you?"
Chen Yang: “…”
When did I say that
"Okay, you take it." Chao Jian went out on crutches, the sound of the crutches hitting the ground was loud and cold.
Chen Yang couldn't help himself this time. He rolled his eyes at the empty door. It seemed that the effects of the three pills he took in the morning had all worn off.
"Excuse me… "
The doctor's voice sounded behind him, and Chen Yang turned around with a smile: "My brother, he is not in a good mood."
The doctor obviously noticed that Chao Jian was not in good condition and wanted to say something, but Chen Yang did not give him a chance. He chased after him with the dog.
The child accompanied him here in the morning and stayed for the whole morning. Although he didn't say anything, he stayed with him while he examined the dog.
It is normal to be unable to control your emotions, to have extreme fluctuations, and to act unreasonably.
only…
How does he compete with the puppy
Chen Yang's pace quickened, faster and faster. He hurried across the hall and saw a familiar figure outside the door.
I didn't leave, I was waiting for him there.
At that moment, something flashed through Chen Yang's mind, but before he could capture it, he opened the glass door and walked to the young man.
"Thank you for coming here with me this morning. It must be boring to wait. We will go back after dinner."
Chao Jian faced the street, his eyelids drooping, unable to see clearly: "Now that all the inspections have been done, can you please be quiet?"
Chen Yang did not answer immediately.
When he first came out of the rehabilitation center, he felt that everything that had happened to him was unreasonable, so he rushed to the Changning Mental Hospital. The diagnosis showed that he was not crazy, but very healthy, and did not even have neurasthenia.
The puppy's situation is very similar to his.
It shouldn't be that normal, but that was the fact before him.
"Let's wait for Wu Yu to come back." Chen Yang said softly, "I won't care about 03 anymore when she comes back."
He will find a way to properly clear out the memories related to 03, so as to avoid the accumulation of too many doubts in his heart and causing him to become sick and crazy.
Chen Yang lowered his head as his trouser leg was grabbed. He saw that the puppy was trying to get his attention.
After giving it a glance at Jian, it immediately got off Chen Yang's trouser leg, laid down on the ground with its furry body, and buried its head in its paws.
The action is done in one go.
Chen Yang couldn't help laughing: "It's afraid of you."
He lifted Chao Jian's eyelids.
Chen Yang stopped laughing. He said, despite the oppressive feeling from the cage, "Brother is afraid of you too."
Chao Jian: “…”
Chen Yang and Chao Jian found a restaurant to have lunch.
Chao Jian did not show any impatient rush to go back, so Chen Yang took the dog and took him for a stroll on the street.
The combination of two people and a dog attracted the attention of passers-by.
The owner wore a mask and a baseball cap, and the dog was naked, exposing its beauty. The girls passing by screamed like crazy.
Chen Yang watched the fourth wave of screams fade away. He pulled the dog and Chao Jian to sit on a bench by the roadside.
"You don't know until you see it. Once you see it, you'll be surprised. 03 is quite popular."
Chao Jian put the cane aside: "It's so ugly." He added, "It hurts my eyes to look at it."
The words were filled with extreme disgust.
Chen Yang took off his backpack, picked up the puppy and placed it on the bag, letting it lie down.
“Is there anything that is not ugly to you?”
Chao Jian said nothing.
Chen Yang's laughter came out from the mask: "No, I know it."
"You know shit." Chao Jian said.
Chen Yang choked, he turned his head to look at the boy: "Then tell me, no need for three or five, just one that you think is not ugly."
Chao Jian's protruding Adam's apple moved, but no sound came out.
Chen Yang didn't force it. His eyes moved through the crowd, and the "strange environment" and "fear of strangers" mentioned by the doctor inexplicably emerged in his mind.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Yang took out his mobile phone and placed it on his lap. He poked the keyboard with the fingers of his left hand and sent a message to Uncle Wu.
-Uncle Wu, when did Wu Yu get a dog
Uncle Wu came back after a while and said he had forgotten and couldn't remember clearly.
This answer dragged the matter into a vicious circle again. Chen Yang relaxed for a moment and scratched the puppy's chin. Just when he was about to pinch the dog's paw, he opened his hand to Jian.
Before Chen Yang could do anything, he said to Jian, "I want to eat bread."
"There's a store over there." Chen Yang pointed to him.
Chao Jian didn't respond.
Chen Yangfu said to himself, "We just finished our meal, it's not suitable to eat anything, it's not good for our stomach. How about this, when we leave later, let's go buy some together."
Chao Jian still didn't say anything, and there was no emotion on his face, but his lips were not pursed so tightly.
On the streets under the bright sunshine, pedestrians are not crowded or noisy, and their steps are all lazy. Stars' signs are spread all along the way. Occasionally, fans will come up to check in, shyly or pretending to be calm, holding their phones and posting on the blog while walking.
Looking around, you can see peace, warmth, fashion and prosperity everywhere. This is the South Street of Qingcheng.
Unlike East Street, which is full of poverty and struggle.
It is also not like the northern suburbs where Chen Yang lives, which is busy and hurried.
Chen Yang leaned back and relaxed for a moment, and noticed that Chao Jian had turned his body at some point, his eyes seemingly directed towards a flower shop.
A few minutes later, Chen Yang deleted the word "seems".
"You want to buy flowers? There are no vases at home."
Chao Jian suddenly turned his head and said, "Who said I was going to buy them? Why would I buy flowers?"
Chen Yang was confused by the question, how would I know.
Chao Jian stared at Chen Yang with his dark eyes, crunching the milk slice.
I don't know how many I put in my mouth and it took me half a day to finish them.
Chen Yang's scalp felt cold when he was stared at. Just eat the milk tablets, why are you watching him eat
When he got home, Chen Yang's shopping bag contained a few red bean paste buns and pineapple buns, as well as... a vase and a bouquet of flowers.
Chao Jian walked into the room holding a pineapple bun in his mouth and closed the door with a "click".
Chen Yang was left alone in the living room, facing the bouquet of flowers.
Chen Yang held the vase to fill it with water, and with his left hand holding a pair of scissors, he cut the packaging outside the flowers: "There are flowers at home."
Unbelievable.
"Click"
Chen Yang cut off the lower part of the flower branch and murmured, "I don't even know what I'm doing, cutting flower branches, arranging flowers, what the hell is this."
While he was complaining, he cut the flowers and put them in the vase.
Fiddle with it.
It looked pretty good, so Chen Yang took a few photos.
Most of the flowers that Chao Jian bought were buds. Under Chen Yang's care, they bloomed one by one and withered one by two.
April passed peacefully, and May came, but there was no sign of the fifth task.
There was still no news about Wu Yu. Her phone was always out of service. No one could find her alive or dead. Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu had never thought of calling the police.
It must be that their daughter had been out of contact for a long time in recent years, and then returned safely.
Maybe more than once.
Wu Yu’s matter will always have a result, whether it is good or bad, in a few months or a year or two, Chen Yang is waiting.
Chen Yang hopes that she can return safely and go home safely.
During this period, Chen Yang ate and drank at home and lived a relaxing life. Sometimes he would open the book "The Relationship between Consciousness and the World in Quantum Theory". There were many parts that he couldn't understand, and when he was making marks, he would think of Sun Wenjun.
After that phone call, Sun Wenjun never contacted him again.
Sun Wenjun said he was going on a business trip and would be back within a month if things went well. He invited him to dinner.
It has been a month now.
It doesn't seem to be going well.
Sun Wenjun's original words were that if things don't go well, the date of my return will depend on God's will.
To sum it up in six words: do your best and leave the rest to fate.
Chen Yang didn't like that sentence. It was too realistic and too powerless. It made people's power seem very small. When fate arrived, there was no other way but to surrender.
Although that is true.
Time passed by, and as Chen Yang waited, it reached mid-May, and the weather started to get hot.
People took off their coats, put on light clothes, and carried watermelons and popsicles home one after another.
Summer is here.
The wound on Chen Yang's finger gradually recovered, and the nail grew a little bit, which was quite ugly.
Every time Chen Yang went out to buy something, as soon as he stretched out his hand, others would take a few more glances at him.
Some even show disgusted or frightened expressions.
Chen Yang always responded with an apologetic smile. The weather was hot and the wound had healed. He couldn't just wrap it with gauze again.
His nails grow very slowly, he didn't come out to scare people on purpose.
Often at this time, Chao Jian would take out the medicine bottle, sometimes pouring out a few pills and eating them, and sometimes not eating them but just holding them in his hand and shaking them, making a teeth-grinding sound.
Chao Jian's frequency of taking medicine has completely messed up.
He no longer ate three or four times a day, but ate whenever he wanted.
The effect of the medicine is so small that it is difficult to estimate. After taking it, I still become manic and angry at the slightest provocation.
Chen Yang still helped Chao Jian with his rehabilitation work according to the schedule, encouraging and supervising his psychological rehabilitation treatment.
When the effect was best, Chao Jian could take two steps forward.
No more.
Chen Yang was not disappointed, nor did he want to give up. He had been through it all and could empathize with others.
The only thing that scared him was that, starting from some point in time, Chao Jian would stare at him without warning, without saying anything, just staring, as if he was afraid that he would turn into a butterfly and fly away.
At the end of May, when Chen Yang was eating watermelon and enjoying the air conditioning, lamenting that there would be no more tasks in the first half of the year, the task came.
The fifth mission was the one that Chen Yang was most fully equipped for, because before coming in, he and Chao Jian had purchased them outside.
Short sleeves, long pants, baseball cap.
Two shopping bags, one large and one small, filled with daily necessities, and a backpack.
Chen Yang's backpack was very heavy. It contained two unopened bottles of Liziyuan, a large box of milk tablets, some snacks, and Wang Kuanyou's notebook.
I brought so many things with me, but I found out that the mission location this time was in a small town, so I didn’t have to worry about food and drink.
Chen Yang glanced at the stone tablet next to him.
There are scratches on the first two words, so dense and crisscross that it is difficult to see what they are. The last word is very clear: "Zhen".
xx town.
Chen Yang and Chao Jian were located inside the stone tablet, and the rules sent them into this small town.
The stone tablet stood upright on the side of the road, as if it had been hit hard countless times, not allowing it to tilt even a little bit.
Chen Yang looked around and saw the mountains were high and vast, lush and green.
"Let's sit here for a while and talk about it after other people arrive." Chen Yang threw the shopping bag on the grass, stretched his wrists a few times, took off his backpack, unzipped it, and gave Chao Jian a bottle of Liziyuan.
Chao Jian took a few sips and stopped drinking.
Chen Yang did not open the other bottle. He drank the one Chao Jian had left. Just after taking two sips, a terrified scream came from the bushes not far away.
New people are coming.
Chen Yang gulped down a big gulp of Liziyuan, screwed the lid on, threw the bottle into his backpack, took off his baseball cap, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The newcomer in the bushes hasn't come running over yet.
Something happened? Chen Yang walked towards that direction, and suddenly stopped: "There is a smell of disinfectant, do you smell it?"
Chao Jian sat on the stone and waved to Chen Yang: "Hat."
Chen Yang asked him what he was doing.
"I'm hot." Chao Jian said impatiently.
Chen Yang threw the hat in his hand to Chao Jian. Seeing him fanning himself, he couldn't help but be speechless. Why didn't he just take off his own hat
There were tiny noises coming from the bushes over there, accompanied by a growing smell of disinfectant.
A face popped up in Chen Yang's mind.
A man walked out from the bushes. He had a sallow face, long black hair, an exquisite custom-made outfit, and a diamond watch. He smelled of disinfectant with every step he took. He overlapped with the figure in Chen Yang's mind.
What a painter.
He was wearing long sleeves and long pants, tied tightly together, and was accompanied by a newcomer whom he had just met in the bushes.
The newcomer was a girl with short blue hair. She wanted to grab the painter's clothes, but seeing his mysophobia, she didn't dare to touch him and just leaned against him.
Chen Yang greeted the painter briefly and smelled a familiar scent.
He sat down next to Chao Jian and whispered, "Xiangdong is coming in."
This vaccination came a little late.
He stopped shaking his hat toward Jian, then continued with a much larger amplitude: "You knew it even before anyone showed up. Are you telepathic?"
Chen Yang shook his head: "It doesn't exist."
Just as he finished speaking, an evil roar floated over from the left.
"Damn it! Just cry, cry, cry, cry. My head is about to explode. If you cry any more, I'll kill you!"
Xiangdong was holding a cigarette in his mouth, wearing a vest and shorts, and flip-flops. Behind him were four taskers, three of whom had red eyes and noses from crying, while the other one was relatively calm.
"Didn't you fucking hear me? I..."
Xiangdong's curses stopped abruptly. He spat out the cigarette butt that was stuck on his lips and bared his teeth: "I've seen everyone I want to see and everyone I don't want to see. I've seen everyone I want to see."
