Chapter 31: Painted Skin·Longevity (18)

Views:

Gu Liang doesn't have much strength right now, his fists are not heavy.

Yang Ye picked up Gu Liang and immediately walked towards the house where he lived.

"Your punch is light. Take you back to the house and change your clothes. When you recover, I will give you a good beating."

After entering the house, Gu Liang changed his clothes by himself, and Yang Ye took advantage of this time to go to the kitchen to get some charcoal fire and a brazier.

When Yang Ye came back, Gu Liang had already changed his clothes and lay down under the quilt.

After Yang Ye confirmed that the charcoal was fully burned, he placed the charcoal brazier next to the wooden bed, and then opened the window to allow fresh air to come in.

After finishing all this, Yang Ye stood by the bed and asked Gu Liang in a low voice, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Liang didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, he turned his body sideways and fell asleep.

Yang Ye helped him tuck the corner of the quilt, and didn't make any noise, just looked at him silently, and after a while, when he heard his breathing slowly becoming longer, he knew that he was fast asleep.

Until this moment, seeing that Gu Liang was safe and sound, Yang Ye finally let go of his hanging heart.

Gu Liang didn't know how long he slept.

He was awakened by the quarrel at the door.

Gu Liang sat up slowly, pressed his temples, looked towards the door, and happened to see two figures standing under the setting sun.

Under the backlight, the two were one in front and one behind, with one long shadow and one short shadow.

Their expressions were hidden in the shadows, making it difficult for people to see clearly, and their voices were also very low, but because the surroundings were too quiet, Gu Liang could hear them clearly.

"What? You pretended? Joking with him? How can you joke like that with him?"

"You don't understand? Yes, you don't understand. But you can't do anything if you don't understand."

"Everyone is an adult. With all due respect, your behavior is really stupid. Why did you make fun of him? Why did you let him go into the water to save you? You have only known each other for a few days?"

"Did you know he can't go in the water? Did you know he used to..."

Xun Feng, who has always been gentle, seldom speaks so fiercely, and rarely points people's noses and scolds.

It can be seen that he is very emotional and very angry at the moment.

But when he said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he stopped talking and did not continue.

"What do you mean? What happened to him before?"

Yang Ye didn't understand, so he couldn't help asking, "Is Gu Liang's problem related to water? If so, how serious is it

Yang Ye was really curious about what happened to Gu Liang, but he didn't want to inquire about it behind Gu Liang's back.

He asked these few questions, just worried that next time he and Gu Liang encountered a script related to rivers and lakes, and if the script required them to go into the water, he wanted to know how he could help Gu Liang.

Xun Feng only said: "It's about his privacy. I can't say too much. But I tell you, don't let him into the water, don't do similar pranks again. You will really hurt him. Anyway, I warn you—"

This time, before Xun Feng finished speaking, he was finally interrupted by Gu Liang.

Gu Liang got out of bed, walked slowly to the door, and said softly: "Okay, Xun Feng, I'm fine."

Gu Liang said nothing. Yang Ye immediately turned his head and looked at him.

The setting sun outlined his still pale face, and it could be seen that he hadn't fully recovered.

But his expression was calm, no different from usual.

Gu Liang held on to the door frame, obviously still a little weak, Yang Ye raised his hand, trying to step forward to support Gu Liang, but he paused for a while, as if out of some concerns.

In this way, a certain Xun Feng had already walked to Gu Liang's side before him, gently held his arm, and led him into the house.

Xun Feng helped Gu Liang to sit on the bed, and put a pillow behind his waist to make him more comfortable.

Gu Liang thanked him, and Xun Feng said: "When you can leave in a while, go sleep with me? I feel that most of the people in this game have committed some crimes. You have only known this person for a few days, and you know him What kind of vicious gangster is in reality?"

Yang Ye strode over with a serious expression. "It's me who made fun of Gu Liang. I will apologize to him. He wants to beat me up, whatever he wants to relieve his anger. But every yard counts, so don't make wild guesses. You don't know me."

Although the words were directed at Xun Feng, Yang Ye's gaze was fixed on Gu Liang.

—Is that so? Do you also think that I am extremely vicious

For everything I do today, you will be very disgusted, and you will hate me from then on

Who is this Xun Feng? Why can he know you so well

If he was your friend, would you choose to trust him instead of me...

Xun Feng turned his head, frowned again and said to Yang Ye: "Anyway, what you did today is very unreasonable. I warn you, don't trouble Gu Liang with such things in the future, he—"

At this time, Gu Liang finally spoke again: "It's okay, Xun Feng. Yang Ye doesn't know about my situation."

Xun Feng turned his head and looked at Gu Liang again, his eyes flickered for a moment, revealing a somewhat unbelievable emotion, as if he felt that with Gu Liang's character, it would be very inconceivable for him to speak for Yang Ye at this time. thing.

After a pause, Xun Feng took a breath, and said again: "Gu Liang, you should also know your situation, you can't go into the water. Otherwise the situation will be very critical. I should have told you..."

"I just feel like, I'm done. I haven't been like this in a long time."

Gu Liang interrupted Xun Feng, his originally calm tone suddenly turned cold.

Realizing something, Xun Feng frowned. "Gu Liang..."

Gu Liang turned his head sideways, looked at Xun Feng, and said slowly: "Take me as a normal person, okay?"

Xun Feng was a little helpless, and sighed heavily. "I didn't say you were abnormal. You've recovered. It's just that if something like that happened, you'd have to—"

Although the conversation between the two did not say anything clearly, it has already revealed very important information.

Gu Liang paused, turned his head to look at Yang Ye, and saw his expression as if he had guessed something.

After a moment of silence, Gu Liang finally spoke. "Xun Feng used to be my doctor. A psychiatrist."

Speaking of this, Gu Liang raised his right hand subconsciously, put his fingertips on the red rope on his left wrist, and stroked it lightly.

On the side, Xun Feng couldn't help being surprised again when he heard such words.

Because he really knows Gu Liang's character very well.

For a person like Gu Liang who closes his heart, it is difficult to tell others that he has seen a psychiatrist and suffered from mental illness.

But right now, he actually just told Yang Ye about it, why

Soon Xun Feng came to his senses.

Gu Liang didn't take the initiative to confess to Yang Ye. It's all his own fault.

- He did something wrong, writing the words "Gu Liang is a lunatic" on his face.

Before, Xun Feng couldn't help but say a lot to Yang Ye, it was indeed because he was in a hurry to get angry and worried that Gu Liang's old illness would relapse.

But his actions, in Gu Liang's eyes, obviously contained elements of "excessive concern".

This "excessive concern" does not refer to any charming and ambiguous feelings.

In Gu Liang's view, a psychiatrist who is so nervous about a patient who should have recovered can only mean that this person's illness is very serious, and may even have no possibility of recovery at all.

The more anxious Xun Feng acted, the more he slapped Gu Liang in the face.

His behavior just now seemed to be short of telling Yang Ye directly: "He is a lunatic, how could you mess with him?"

So, even though the person who didn't know the severity of the prank was Yang Ye.

Now the person who really put a needle in Gu Liang's heart became Xun Feng.

Xun Feng is a psychiatrist, so he naturally understood Gu Liang's psychology immediately.

He sighed heavily again, and had to say to Gu Liang: "Then you have a good rest. I am relieved that you are fine. And... I am sorry. Now that the treatment is over, we should break away from the relationship between doctors and patients. I am a bit overstepped. Just now I am unprofessional."

Gu Liang realized what he was talking about, but smiled, let out a breath, and said, "It's okay. I know you're worried about me too. Besides, you didn't expect me to eavesdrop."

Gu Liang's use of the word "overhearing" gave Xun Feng a step down.

This actually surprised Yang Ye on the side.

Because Gu Liang has always acted viciously and unscrupulously, but in fact he also knows how to talk about scenes.

But Yang Ye thought again, since Gu Liang's family background is not particularly good, then everything he obtained later must have been obtained by himself in the society.

He naturally knows the laws of social life, the tacit social rules of adults.

However, probably because of coming to this game far away from reality, Gu Liangcai finally liberated his nature to some extent.

Yang Ye suddenly realized that in Gu Liang's mind, he might be completely different from Xun Feng.

Although people always say that they hate to meet late, maybe sometimes, meeting later seems to be a kind of luck.

Xun Feng left quickly.

After Gu Liang watched him leave, he turned his head to the side and saw Yang Ye staring at him without blinking.

— Does he have a lot to ask himself

For example, why can't I go into the water, for example, what kind of mental illness have I suffered from

For another example, do I still go crazy from time to time

Many thoughts flashed through Gu Liang's mind, and then he quietly waited for Yang Ye to ask one of the questions.

But Gu Liang didn't expect that after waiting for a long time, Yang Ye asked him: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Hearing this, Gu Liang's eyelids drooped, and the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, he couldn't help laughing.

At that moment, he couldn't explain why he suddenly laughed.

After laughing, Gu Liang looked Yang Ye up and down and asked, "Speaking of which, you are not the second rich... oh no, the third generation rich? How can a young master like you know how to cook?"

Yang Yedao: "I went abroad in the first day of junior high school, and I just came back from high school. At that time, there were a few foreign students around me who were quite messy. They didn't go to school all day, so they made appointments. How clean I am..."

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows—tsk, asked him about his cooking skills, why did he still boast about himself.

Yang Ye continued: "When I was abroad, I wasn't used to Western food, and I thought Chinese restaurants were not authentic, so I figured it out on my own and worked out my cooking skills."

Gu Liang looked at him, and continued: "I have studied abroad and served as a soldier. You have a lot of experience."

Yang Ye smiled and said: "I was a sophomore in high school when I returned to China. I studied for a year, and took the college entrance examination in the third year of high school. My dad changed my choice. I joined the army in a fit of anger. It was also a coincidence. I didn't think about it at first, but A friend wanted to join the army before, so he dragged me to sign up with him, and they were all selected.”

"After serving for two years, I re-entered the university. So I graduated two years later than you. But I have already entered the company as an intern while going to school, so there is no delay."

"Oh, by the way, my right eye was also injured during a mission, which caused irreversible damage to my eyesight. At that time, I was still debating whether to retire from the army, but I had to."

Yang Ye quickly finished his story and asked Gu Liang. "What about you? Why are you so bad at cooking?"

"Inherited. My mother is not good at cooking." Gu Liang said.

Yang Ye smiled: "What's wrong?"

Gu Liang asked: "Braised tap water, have you ever eaten it?"

"Red... braised what?"

"Tap water. Boil soy sauce, bean paste and water together, and eat with rice."

When Yang Ye heard this, his heart ached - what kind of life did Gu Liang live in the past

"Don't look at me with that kind of look. Although I'm a poorer class compared to you, it's not that I can't eat meat." Gu Liang said, "It's just that my mother's fried meat and stewed vegetables are not as delicious as braised tap water."

Yang Ye: "..."

"So I don't understand why the students complain about the school cafeteria. In my opinion, it is already delicious in the world. When I was in school, I ate the cafeteria every day. After working, I was very busy, so I basically ate outside all the time. If I had a break occasionally, I would eat in the cafeteria. I also order takeaway. So I don’t know how to cook.”

After Gu Liang finished speaking, he suddenly fell silent.

Yang Ye watched him and noticed that the smile on his lips gradually disappeared.

Outside the window, the setting sun slowly sank, and the sky and Gu Liang's face darkened together.

Yang Ye looked at Gu Liang for a while, then went to light the lamp.

There are only red candles left in the cupboard. Yang Ye lit the candle and put it on the table.

The fire light was reddish, finally making Gu Liang's face not so pale.

Gu Liang's eyes slowly moved to the candles on the table, watching the flames in silence. After a long time, he slowly said: "Many years ago, because I did something wrong, a man threw himself into the lake."

Yang Ye's heart immediately twitched.

He didn't rush to answer, and heard Gu Liang continue to say: "Actually, unless there is an unexpected situation such as strong waves, most people can't die by throwing themselves into a lake in a calm place. Because the human body has the ability to save itself. Instinct. When a person jumps into a river and his lungs are filled with water, the body suffers a lot, so the body will instinctively make people float to the surface, especially for those who can swim. It is very difficult to commit suicide in this way .”

"But she wasn't. She jumped into the river with a bag on her back. It was full of rocks. She was determined to die."

"She jumped into the lake and sank to the bottom of the lake. I followed her into the bottom of the lake, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pick her up. In the end I fell into a coma and was rescued by the staff of the scenic spot. .but she died."

Is this person male or female? how old? Why did he commit suicide for Gu Liang

Can't courtship? Betrayed by Gu Liang? Or some money dispute

Yang Ye was full of doubts when he heard this.

But I don't want to ask a word.

Because he knew that this matter was a great blow to Gu Liang.

"She was probably in her forties, a little younger than my mother. Not long after that, my mother also passed away. Their deaths are all inseparable from me. And then I..."

Gu Liang asked Yang Ye, "Do you know what PTSD is?"

Yang Ye frowned. "Post-traumatic stress disorder? I know something about it. I took some psychological courses when I was a soldier. Then, a comrade in arms went to participate in the earthquake relief and dug up many corpses with his own hands. He got this disease after he came back."

"Well. After that guy and my mom died, I got...depression, and PTSD. That was many years ago, and I've recovered. It's just, you fell into the lake just now, and I can't find yours At that time, the situation was probably too similar, which made me a little... "

When Gu Liang said this, he turned his eyes and met Yang Ye's. "I mean, I'm healed. Whether it's a wound on my hand or anything else, I'm healed."

"Well. I see. You don't need to worry about. You're cured. You're not abnormal. You're just like us."

Yang Ye smiled at him. "You don't need to explain, I know it all. From the beginning of this script killing game, you have always been the most calm and tenacious. You have even been to the small black room twice. No one is better than you."

Gu Liang: "..."

Gu Liang was completely confused by Yang Ye's praise.

Yang Ye asked him solemnly: "Okay. That's over. Now the most important question is, what's for dinner?"

Gu Liang thought about it. "Except for braised tap water, everything is fine."

When Yang Ye left, Gu Liang kept looking at him thoughtfully.

Yang Ye actually understood the meaning of that gaze.

—Gu Liang was curious, wondering why he didn't ask the whole picture of the story.

But Yang Ye knew he couldn't ask. At least not yet.

At the end of the first script, he tentatively asked Gu Liang what happened to him.

Yang Ye still firmly remembered Gu Liang's precautions at that time.

When Gu Liang was not ready, excessive care and inquiry would make the wall of self-protection in his heart get higher and thicker.

Furthermore, Yang Ye also saw the doctor's reaction just now.

It stands to reason that psychiatrists and patients are very close.

Some patients even have empathy for doctors, because to receive psychological treatment until they are cured, they must trust the doctor wholeheartedly, and even tell the doctor their most embarrassing experiences and thoughts.

But Gu Liang is different. Just because the doctor knew everything about him, including the things he thought he was terrible about, now he was wary of the doctor.

The doctor's concern for him will be interpreted by him as - in the doctor's eyes, he is always a patient and a lunatic.

Therefore, he would not get close to the doctor.

From his point of view, the doctor doesn't think he is a normal person, so how can he be friends with him

In this way, Yang Ye not only excluded Xun Feng, the imaginary enemy, but he also understood a truth - for a sensitive person like Gu Liang, unless he completely let go of his heart, unless he really entered into his heart by attacking the city. , unless he and himself are fully prepared... No matter how curious Yang Ye was, he decided not to inquire about his past.

Late at night, the showers came suddenly.

However, the rain in late autumn is not as urgent as in summer, and the water droplets slowly fall from the eaves, dense and sticky.

Gu Liang didn't fall asleep.

He looked sideways at the night outside the window, and the sound of the fine rain reminded him of the most terrifying nightmare in his heart again.

The rain made him think of water, the lake, and then the middle-aged woman who was killed by him.

Gu Liang's breathing became more rapid, and his shoulders trembled a little.

He closed his eyes, exhaled heavily, turned over, and saw Yang Ye sleeping on the inside.

This wooden bed is actually very big, so the distance between the two people is not too close.

Gu Liang's family conditions were not good when he was a child, especially after his parents divorced, he and his mother took refuge in his aunt. At that time, Gu Liang shared a bed with his cousin. He didn't think in the direction of being gay or not, so he really didn't feel anything.

After all, he doesn't go to Weibo, doesn't read nonsense jokes, and doesn't even understand the meme of picking up soap.

Only now did he realize that maybe after knowing Yang Ye's sexual orientation, maybe because he was hugged tightly and rushed into the house because he was soaked all over today, he felt a little embarrassed, staring at Yang Ye, it was a little Get uncomfortable.

Gu Liang was originally the performance of a straight man of steel, and he boasted that it was okay for the two of them to sleep like this.

Now he regrets it, it seems a bit late.

There are still six days of sharing the same bed.

If he changes his words midway, it will appear that he has something, and it will be like trying to cover up.

Then Gu Liang found strangely that after seeing Yang Ye, his mind was instantly occupied by those messy thoughts that touched his blind spot of knowledge, so that those horrible experiences in the long past were temporarily forgotten by him.

If so, staring at Yang Ye for a while, Gu Liang closed his eyes and finally fell asleep peacefully.

The rain gradually stopped.

Gu Liang had no dreams all night.

Outside the window, the bright moon is like frost, and the wind is like water.
