The sky turned fish-belly white, a smear of golden light arrogantly tore through the thick clouds and gradually rose, the darkness receded with its tail between its legs, and disappeared after a while.

In the grand and luxurious living room, a needle could be heard. A parrot, not much bigger than a slap, tilted its head and was staring suspiciously at the man lying on the leather sofa.

The man was lying on his stomach in his clothes, burying his face between the backrests of the two sofas. The loose and ordinary down jacket fell to the ground randomly, and his slender legs were resting on the sofa. When Lin Xiaotian came back, he had to call the police.

The mobile phone on the small coffee table beside it rang a few times, breaking the condensed air, and with the low battery reminder, the mobile phone went dark.

Gu Yan remained motionless.

He had a dream, dreaming that he was standing barefoot in an endless dark and cold space, whispering and whispering in the distance, as if there were countless pairs of eyes hiding in the darkness, watching his every move.

However, the strange thing is that he carries a circle of weak brilliance, and wherever he goes, his original appearance slowly emerges.

There is a pair of rusty iron windows in front of him, behind him is a dilapidated small bed, and there is a small table next to the two, on which is a stack of dusty newspapers, the newspapers are yellow, blown in from the iron window The wind lifted a corner silently.

When Gu Yan stood firm, his pupils shrank slightly, and the memories he deliberately avoided flooded in like a tide, but in just a few seconds, Gu Yan fell into a bottomless ocean.

He keeps sinking, falling!

He wanted to shout, but when he opened his mouth, there were big and small bubbles one after another, and the sea water scrambled into his nostrils and ears.

Gu Yan struggled frantically, unable to step on the ground with both feet, he was terrified at this moment.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and gradually fell into a coma.

Opening his eyes again, Gu Yan's nasal cavity and throat felt tearing pain after drowning, and he couldn't help turning over and retching for a while, before he began to gasp in embarrassment.

Beneath him was a puddle of bone-chilling water, which would almost submerge the back of his feet. Gu Yan looked around, stretched out his hand to fumble, opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat couldn't make a sound at all.

where is this...

A damp and unpleasant smell of rust irritated his nasal mucosa, and Gu Yan subconsciously touched it with his hand.

is blood.

Whose blood is it

Why does my head hurt so much!

Gu Yan clasped his head tightly with both hands, large beads of sweat fell from his forehead and melted into the water under his feet, making a clear sound.

"tick-"

"tick-"

Disorderly footsteps could be heard in the distance, accompanied by panting and cursing: "Are you fucking Gu Yan?"

"Fuck you!"

Gu Yan couldn't see clearly who those people were, only vague outlines showed that the other party was a few teenagers.

Judging from the tone of voice, the teenagers were arrogant, unruly, and even ruthless.

"You Gu Yan are so awesome, what are you trying to do to be so willing to come to the top?"

"Kneel down and apologize, and crawl over from Grandpa, and we'll settle the matter, how about it?"

Laughter and sarcasm, mixed with indifference, kept attacking the pagoda that Gu Yan built alone.

"Fuck! There's a knife!!"

"—Killed!"

There was only a puff, and the muffled sound of flesh and blood exploding hit the eardrums, and Gu Yan suddenly raised his head!

The surrounding darkness quickly faded, and the space distorted and deformed in an instant, pulling him arbitrarily and unreasonably closer to another scene.

All the people in the classroom had left, and the afterglow of the setting sun remained in the classroom, bringing warmth to the dim space.

Jian Jie was wearing a school uniform, sitting quietly in front of the desk with a freshly opened extra-curricular book on the desk. Hearing the movement, he turned his head slowly, and was slightly surprised when he recognized the person coming. He said lightly, "Gu Yan."

Jane.

Gu Yan opened his mouth, silently.

"After school, you won't go home?"

I'm not going back, there's no one at home.

"Where's your friend?"

my friend…

Gu Yan choked for breath, but couldn't remember who the friend Jane Jie mentioned was!

"You're bleeding." Jian Jie said suddenly.

Yeah

Gu Yan bowed his head obediently, and suddenly found that his whole body was full of holes, and the blood seemed to flow endlessly, crazily dripping all over the floor, the disgusting rust smell mixed with Jane's body fragrance, and the strands condensed with the air.

But Jian Jie was spotless, looked at Gu Yan strangely, and after a long while, said leisurely: "—You are so dirty."

"You're so dirty."

"You are so dirty..."

no…

Gu Yan clenched his fists in pain, trying to defend himself, but found that he was already boneless.

"Gu Yan—"

"Gu Yan!"

The call from far to near made Gu Yan's out-of-body soul find its way back.

The parrot's cry was sharp, slender, and indistinct. Gu Yan, who was lying on the sofa, twitched his legs violently. In the next second, a carp on his upper body rolled over and sat up. The movement was done in one go, and almost knocked over the coffee table beside him.

Breathing heavily greedily, Gu Yan waited for more than ten minutes before he realized that he was at Lin Xiaotian's house. The talkative parrot had calmed down now, staying obediently on the bird stand.

This dream was very real, and Gu Yan broke out in a cold sweat from the pain in his heart.

It turned out to be true.

Gu Yan buried his face between his hands and took a deep breath.

Everything has changed.

Lin Xiaotian couldn't hold it anymore, he went to the toilet at the first rest stop after entering Zhongshi, and then jumped back into the car with a yawn.

It will take about an hour to drive there, Lin Xiaotian is hungry, he feels like an eunuch who is not in a hurry to see the emperor, and he has a sack of old sesame seeds and rotten millet on his shoulder.

"It's not easy." Lin Xiaotian licked the chapped corners of his mouth, took out a tissue to wipe his nose, and comforted himself: "Who made Gu Yan his father?"

Thinking of the phone call from Gu Yan last night, Lin Xiaotian sighed and beat his chest, but he didn't complain at all.

Probably Jian Jie was more anxious than Gu Yan, Lin Xiaotian sighed, and re-entered the address on the navigation.

When Jian Jie heard the phone ring, he was scurrying around in the kitchen, and the dog following him was pursing his mouth, drooling and barking from time to time.

"Shut up!" Jane Jie had one head and two big ones, her temples were protruding, watching the dog behind her holding her breath in her chest, she couldn't recover for a long time.

Yuan Bao had never been violent before, and he was even more unhappy when he saw Jian Jie frowning and looking fierce. His four claws slapped back and forth on the ground, and he opened his mouth with a heart-piercing roar.

It seemed that the caller showed Lin Xiaotian, and Jane put the half-baked chicken breast back into the pot, turned around and took out a cucumber from the refrigerator, and threw it to Yuan Bao.

"when will you arrive?"

Listening to the voice on the phone, Lin Xiaotian raised his eyebrows and said, "The garage is open in five minutes!"

Jian Jie closed her eyes, took a deep breath before fumbling for the cigarette, and put it in her mouth.

Gu Yan's behavior more than ten hours ago, flashed through his mind like a slide show, and huge doubts followed one after another. At this moment, Lin Xiaotian was rushing forward with the answer.

Jane took a few steps back, sat on the table in the dining room, and took a few puffs of cigarettes before realizing that her legs were shaking violently.

In fact, he was not prepared at all. It seemed that he was about to enter the college entrance examination room in the next second. Even though he was familiar with the review, the future was unknown.

The doorbell rang instantly, and Jian Jie shivered, choking on the intake pipe with a puff of smoke, coughing, blushing, and runny nose.

Lin Xiaotian entered the house with the bitter cold wind, and before he could speak, he was thrown back by a dog rushing from the kitchen.

"Good dog!"

Seeing a person and a dog embracing each other and about to burst into tears, Jian Jie handed the guest slippers to Lin Xiaotian: "Put them on."

Lin Xiaotian frantically touched Yuanbao's head a few times, and brought a few pinches of dog hair to feel more comfortable, looked at Jian Jie's hallway with delicate Dan Fengyan, and wrinkled his nose to regain his reason: "Yes , bought a house here."

"loan."

"Is there anything to eat?" Lin Xiaotian changed into his slippers and went straight to the kitchen unceremoniously.

"Turn through the refrigerator."

"I've made a lot of money these years, right?" Lin Xiaotian said while flipping through the pages: "Sea cucumbers? Yo... keeping in good health."

"Xiaotian..." Jane Jie sighed.

Lin Xiaotian was not talking, he found an unopened cake from the freezer, and ate it up.

Jian Jie quietly fished out the cooked chicken breast from the pot, cut it into big and small dices, found a large bowl at random, and handed it to Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao shook his head and tail after eating, and then Jian Jie turned around and took out the coffee machine from the small cabinet, ground some coffee beans, made a cup of American style and handed it to Lin Xiaotian.

The two held a glass each and sat opposite each other on the sofa.

"The decoration also costs...a lot of money, right?" Lin Xiaotian pointed around with his fingers.

"En." Jane nodded.

Then the two fell silent again.

After drinking a glass of Americano, the drowsiness subsided a lot, Lin Xiaotian finally didn't want to change the subject, and shrugged his shoulders at Jian Jie: "Is there anything I want to ask."

Jane put down the coffee cup in her hand, looked at Lin Xiaotian's pale face after staying up all night, and said, "Everything."

"I don't know what it means to you to say this, but I know that if Gu Yan knew that I told you, he would really hack me to death..." Lin Xiaotian pulled the corners of his mouth, showing a helpless smile: "Jane... just When it's my chance to give you my life, all I want is a word from you, what do you think about Gu Yan now?"

"You know." Jane Jie said, her tone was as calm as water but extremely firm: "I have been looking for him for ten years, and I have waited for him for ten years."

Lin Xiaotian didn't speak, just stared at Jian Jie, as if distinguishing the truth of what Jian Jie said.

About three or four minutes later, under Jane's doubts and bewilderment, Lin Xiaotian stood up suddenly, turned his back to Jane and began to undress.

Jian Jie took a sip of coffee and got stuck in her throat!

"Don't worry, I sold / sold / my body for Gu Yan, don't think about it!" Lin Xiaotian turned his head and said viciously to Jian Jie.

Jian Jie was puzzled, just as she was about to ask, her eyes suddenly stayed on Lin Xiaotian's back.

— On Lin Xiaotian's strong and fair back, from the left shoulder blade down to the right back waist, there is a scar about ten centimeters long, winding and ferocious!

Jian Jie's pupils shrank sharply, and a wave of fear rose from his back.

"That's why Gu Yan avoided you."
