After a while, Li Xun's eyes finally came back to his senses from the traffic outside the window, he stood up, walked to Ren Xu's office door, knocked on the door, and walked in.

"What's the matter?" Ren Xu raised his head to look at Li Xun from a large pile of documents, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"Brother, tomorrow I want to take a day off from you. Li Xun bent his eyes, but Ren Xu always felt that there was a faint haze in Li Xun's eyes.

The pen in his hand was placed on the table, Ren Xu walked to the water dispenser and poured him a glass of water, and motioned for him to sit on the sofa next to him, "Tomorrow night is your celebration banquet, the protagonist is you, if you don't come tomorrow, what's the point of our celebration banquet open?"

Li Xun took a sip of water, the smile that evoked seemed to be to complete the task, his eyes were deeply tired, he clenched the cup, lowered his head and said, "I came back from the celebration banquet, I have something to do during the day." ”

Lowering his head and thinking about it carefully, Ren Xu seemed to understand a little.

Tomorrow is his birthday, and obviously he has more important things to do, maybe to pay homage to his family, maybe to see the most important person to him.

Ren Xu smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Okay, then you will go to work first tomorrow, and we will see you at Juese at six o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Li Xun smiled and nodded, said thank you, and turned to leave the office.

The next day, the sky was still gloomy, and the rain that had rarely stopped overnight was drenched again at noon the next day.

Summer is in the scorching heat, and the rain that lasts for a week or so quickly cools down, and people on the streets are wearing long-sleeved clothes one after another.

Li Xun locked the car door, held up the umbrella, and looked up at the front with the fruit basket.

It is rare that he did not wear a pair of clothes, slim trousers, and a black shirt, a black windbreaker set off his slender and straight figure, he played a black umbrella, and the whole person seemed to be immersed in a black fog.

Li Xun, who doesn't smile, always has a cold smell on his body, as if the wind blows in through the crack in the door in the cold winter.

The rain crackled on the umbrella, and the seven big characters of Shanghang Psychiatric Hospital took on a new look under the rain.

He took a deep breath and walked into the hospital.

The psychiatric hospital is different from what everyone imagined, there are no gloomy lights, and there is no group of doctors and nurses with expressionless faces.

It wasn't as crowded as other hospitals, and there was silence in the halls, except for the occasional nurse and doctor.

Seeing Li Xun walk in, a passing nurse greeted him with a smile, "Hello, are you here to visit the patient?"

"Hmm. Li Xun couldn't help but clench the fruit basket, and he took a light breath, "Cheng Man." ”

The nurse said a little wait, walked into the consultation desk and flipped through the computer, and then made a gesture of please, "Come with me, are you the patient's son?"

Li Xun was stunned for a moment, feeling unfamiliar and frightened by the word son, he opened his mouth, and finally nodded gently.

"This patient is so blessed to have two sons who are so handsome. The nurse took the medical record book in her hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "The patient has been in a good mental state recently, and now he will no longer hurt people at will." ”

"Two?" Li Xun raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to ask, or he had already taken Li Xun to the ward.

The doors of the surrounding wards were locked, and there were a number of patients of various shapes walking or sitting inside.

The nurse opened the door, turned to Li Xun and smiled and said, "You go in and have a good chat with your mother." ”

Li Xun said thank you again and turned his head to look at the person standing in the ward.

That person is his nightmare for more than ten years, and her face that has been a little loose can still see the elegance and beauty of her youth, she looks sideways at the window, her hair is tied behind her head, and she is already a little gray.

This was the first time he had come to see her in such a long time, Cheng Man, his biological mother.

Pushing the door and walking into the ward, Li Xun put the fruit basket in his hand on the ground, stood quietly behind Cheng Man, opened his mouth slightly, but didn't dare to shout out the word mother.

"Why don't you go in?" The nurse walked to the side with a smile and knocked lightly on the door, "Aunt Cheng, who are coming?"

The person who had been silent in the ward for a long time finally turned his head slowly as if he had restarted.

The two looked at each other, and at that moment Li Xun seemed to have returned to the day thirteen years ago, the suffocation of drowning instantly filled the entire brain, his face turned pale, and Li Xun took a step back.

"What's wrong with you?" The nurse next to him also sensed that something was wrong with Li Xun, and reached out to pat him on the back, "Is it uncomfortable?"

Li Xun's consciousness suddenly broke through the memory and returned to his body, he breathed heavily, turned around, and coughed violently twice.

"Are you?" Cheng Man walked over slowly with some doubts, she gently grabbed Li Xun's arm, leaned forward and looked at Li Xun carefully with her head tilted, "Do you know me?"

Li Xun was taken aback, hurriedly shook off her hand, and took a step back.

At this time, she saw Cheng Man's body stiffen slightly, she suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Li Xun's hand, her eyes were red, "Li Xun, is it you?

Li Xun couldn't help but take a step back, but Cheng Man didn't seem to remember what happened before, and he didn't let go of Li Xun's hand, "Mom hasn't thought about you for a long time, but for so many years, you haven't come to see Mom once." ”

As he spoke, his eyes were already red.

Seeing this affectionate appearance of mother and child, the nurse smiled with relief, turned around and left the ward and closed the door.

The hand was held by Cheng Man, and at that moment, Li Xun felt that the muscles in his whole body were tense, as if an animal had encountered a natural enemy in nature, and that instinctive sense of fear made Li Xun tremble.

"Why haven't you come to see your mother for so long?" Cheng Man pretended to be Li Xun's hand, and at that moment, Li Xun really felt how close the relationship between the two seemed to be.

"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Man had red eyes and reached out to hold Li Xun's shoulder, "Do you hate your mother?

Cheng Man's strength was very strong, Li Xun was pushed backwards by her, and finally sat on the bed.

Li Xun tentatively stretched out his hand, gently grabbed Cheng Man's arm, and helped her sit beside him, "You, how are you doing?"

He hasn't been in contact with his family for more than ten years, Li Xun has become extremely rusty with even the simplest greetings, he can be witty and say a bunch of words of praise to the men and women outside, but when facing this woman, it is difficult for him to even say hello.

The gray sky outside was like a heavy stone, pressing on Li Xun's heart, and he looked out the window, wanting to leave.

"Will you come to see your mother often in the future?" Cheng Man red-eyed, raised his hand and gently touched Li Xun's face, such an intimate appearance, as if returning to Li Xun's childhood.

Suddenly, Cheng Man in front of her looked at Li Xun's eyes, stunned, she suddenly raised her finger and gently touched Li Xun's curled eyelashes, so that Li Xun couldn't help but hide back.

"Li Xun, why did you become so disobedient?" Cheng Man suddenly hooked his neck, and those beautiful eyes suddenly became serious, "Disobedient children will be locked up in a small black room." ”

Li Xun got up from the bed and took a step back, for Cheng Man, he still had more fear than hatred in his heart, turned around and walked out, his foot tripped on the fruit basket and almost fell, "I'm leaving." ”

He turned around and wanted to escape from the ward, but Cheng Man came from behind him and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Why don't you call me Mom?"

A spontaneous wave of anger suddenly broke through Li Xun's reason, and he turned his head and pushed Cheng Man's hand away, his eyes full of deep anger.

Cheng Man's eyes widened suddenly, she looked at Li Xun, and laughed in surprise, "Ah, you are actually angry, you dare to be angry with your mother?" Cheng Man got closer, the smile was clearly playful, and his eyes were full of ridicule.

She's not crazy.

Li Xun dodged Cheng Man's hand and said coldly: "You're not crazy, if it weren't for Li Qiguo saying that you were mentally ill, I'm afraid you would have rotted in prison now." ”

Li Qiguo, this is a fuse, and what ignited it was Cheng Man's explosive barrel, Li Xun looked at Cheng Man's eyes suddenly with hatred and killing intent, and her heart tightened for no reason, her eyes were scarlet, and she suddenly grabbed Li Xun's arm tightly, "Li Qiguo! Why didn't he come to me until now? He didn't come, you man came over, I should have sent the two of you to hell back then, so that I would be idle!"

In his mind, the sound of the waves sounded, and the startled Li Xun's face turned pale, he pushed Cheng Man's hand away, turned around and walked out.

"Li Xun, Li Qiguo, what a damn father and son!" Cheng Man behind him suddenly ran over, her amazing speed and strength, instantly grabbed Li Xun's neck, and pressed him against the door, those hands seemed to have a thousand strengths, almost choking Li Xun's neck.

A huge panic instantly occupied his brain, he raised his hand to tear Cheng Man's hand, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged woman who looked weak was surprisingly strong at this time, and he couldn't pull it off, but it was Cheng Man, her face was bruised, she blushed, clenched her teeth, held the mentality of not letting go, gritted her teeth, "You die! Why don't you die! It's because of you! It's all because of you!"

Li Xun's eyes were dark, and the feeling of suffocation made him return to the summer of that year in an instant, the seaside, the black room, falling into the water, and knife wounds.

He went to pull the door with his backhand, but he was pressed on the door, and he couldn't open it, he picked out Cheng Man's fingers and pushed Cheng Man away, but she grabbed her hand, lifted her sleeve, and bit her arm hard.
