Chapter 53: The Nature of Demons
We often put on expressions of faith and devotion, but we sugarcoat our demonic nature.
———— "Hamlet"
…
His eyes flowed on Ji Chuan's body, and Jiang Yu felt that he didn't look at himself at all, just at his dearest brother.
"The circuit has been repaired. Ji Cheng didn't casually Erlang's legs as usual this time, but sat upright, holding his seemingly ordinary but expensive briefcase in his hand, as if he was holding some important decision-making meeting for them.
"That's good. Ji Chuan's tone was very light, he changed his slippers and walked inside.
Jiang Yu always felt as if something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
Probably today's Ji Cheng is really a bit serious, although he was also serious in the past, the waves in his eyes can't be hidden, like spraying cologne.
No matter how cold his expression was, the scent would still emanate from his body.
Jiang Yu hesitated whether she wanted to avoid it, she said that she would go back to the room to clean up before leaving.
As she was going up the stairs, she heard Ji Cheng say, "Go to the study, I have something to ask you." ”
…
They didn't go to the study, but went to Ji Cheng's house, where Jiang Yu was still some distance away, and next to him was an empty room.
"What's the matter?Is something happening to the company again?" Ji Chuan didn't understand what he meant.
Ji Cheng opened the briefcase, took out a document from it and handed it to Ji Chuan.
He took it, and if he was still a little emotional at first, there was no fluctuation after that.
That little bit of surprise was so fast that he didn't have time to catch it, and Ji Chengzhen wondered if he was wrong.
"That's why you stopped me from sending a lawyer's letter at that time?" asked Ji Cheng.
Originally, at that time, they decided to hire a lawyer to fight this lawsuit, saying that they also told Jiang Yu that way.
But later, he was stopped by Ji Chuan.
Jiang Yu is just a small bus driver, and this type of infringement lawsuit is not easy to fight. Once it gets bigger, she will bear more criticism, and her act of saving people will really become a complete hype.
"Yes, now that you already know, you don't need to ask me again. Ji Chuan said expressionlessly.
"Do you have to do this? Do you have to be so extreme? Do you have to do whatever it takes? You want to love him, there are many ways, but you have chosen the most wrong path. Ji Cheng tried his best to restrain his emotions, but he couldn't be as calm as Ji Chuan.
At that time, when Xiao Zhang said in his ear that this matter was related to Ji Cheng, one of his nerves was broken, just like a sudden string break when playing the piano, which was a bad omen for those who played the piano.
Ji Chuan chuckled, he gently put the document on the table, like a treasure, "Do whatever it takes?" I just want you to learn, in terms of strategy, you are my teacher, I am your student." Your strategy of directly choking others by the throat and hitting them where they hurt the most is wonderful. ”
"You should have understood that shopping malls are like battlefields. I've also tried to keep you out of touch with these things. You shouldn't apply that set of things in the shopping mall to your feelings, have you ever thought that if Jiang Yu knew that you were secretly operating behind her back, making her suffer public opinion, ruining her reputation, and making her lose her job, would she still be willing to stay by your side?" Ji Cheng lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress the frustration in his words.
"Yes, that's why I'm doing all this, I just want her to stay with me and enjoy the purest affection I have for her. Ji Chuan said.
"Are you crazy?" Ji Cheng looked at Ji Chuan, who was pure and immaculate in the past, in disbelief, but now he has become a crazy devil.
"I want her joy, her sorrow, her hope, her despair, I want her fragility, I want her strength, I want all her emotions, all her feelings, I want her to have only me in her eyes, and I want her to rely on me wholeheartedly, as if the two of us were the same person.
When she is in a desperate situation, when she is in agony, when she is at a loss, she will find that there is no other person by her side but me, her possessions, everything she can grasp, nothing but me.
Everything about her is about me, she will be sad because of my indifference, panicked by my perversity, happy because of my hugs, and happy because of my kisses.
When she wanders under the trees, meditates in the rain, and weeps in the darkness, as soon as she lifts her head, she will find that I will light a lamp for her in front of her, hold a cup of autumn dew for her, and lay a starry sky for her in the dark night when there is only one lonely moon. ”
The two clear tears on his face were like stars in the Milky Way, and the slightly reddened eyes and corners of his eyes showed his unease, danger and confusion at the moment.
Ji Cheng didn't have the slightest doubt about his love for Jiang Yu, he knew that he just used the wrong method, but he still couldn't accept it here.
Ji Chuan, what a clean person.
Why should he do all those dirty and despicable things?
Because of love, he destroyed her with his own hands, broke her wings, imprisoned her forever by his side, and left her with nothing but this gorgeous birdcage.
"You're wrong. Ji Cheng felt that he was no longer powerless, so he could only repeat in a low voice, "You are wrong." ”
"Yes. He smiled with tears in his eyes, "My biggest mistake is that I didn't do all this earlier, and I didn't get her back to me sooner." ”
"I remember you once said that you don't know what love is, you just want her to stay with you and watch her. Ji Cheng said.
"yes, isn't it? I'm not lying at this point. I don't really know love, but I know how to possess. To possess is to be absolutely exclusive.
Every time I saw her, I saw her hair, her neck, her thighs, her ankles, every cell, every bone, every drop of blood, every tissue in my body, all clamoring to possess her. Not the body, but the soul. Her soul will cling to me and return to heaven with me. ”
Ji Cheng never thought that Ji Chuan's obsession was so deep that it was terrifying.
He used the masks he had carefully traced to cover up his already degenerated mind.
So did his elder brother also use to be his mask?
He couldn't think about it, and he couldn't imagine it at all.
This boy who is not mentally normal has long been out of his control.
Whether the buds he grew were mutilated, or grew through the cracks of the stones, or the sharp points that crept out in the corners of the walls, he had grown into a towering tree of 1.9 meters.
Even though his branches are not thick, he is dense and verdant.
There is nothing he can do anymore, he no longer has the ability to lead him to the right path.
"I will clean up this document, and I will also find a way to make Li Yan no longer able to set foot on the land of S City. Ji Cheng put the document back in his briefcase, "But you must understand that if Jiang Yu leaves you one day because of this, it will be all your own fault, you can't blame her, you can only blame yourself for using the wrong method." ”
"This day will not come. Ji Chuan said.
"Well, I hope so. After Ji Cheng finished speaking, he raised his feet and left.
…
Jiang Yu didn't know what they were talking about, but after talking for so long, she had already gone downstairs to clean the entire living room.
It's just that this place is unexpectedly clean, and it is estimated that Aunt Yun has already taken care of it in the morning.
The fridge was already stocked with new ingredients and fruits, and last night's farce seemed to be just a small episode, and it had no impact on their lives.
It's just that she thinks she should really ask when they come to repair it, what is broken, is it natural or human-operated?
She couldn't deny her suspicion, she had already blamed herself, Ji Chuan didn't look like that kind of person, he shouldn't do these boring actions.
Ji Cheng came down the stairs and took the previous briefcase.
Jiang Yu respectfully called "Mr. Ji", but he didn't talk to her this time, but instead looked at her with complicated eyes, with emotions that she couldn't understand.
"Don't you stay for lunch?" Jiang Yu looked at Ji Cheng, who was about to change his shoes.
As soon as the words fell, Ji Cheng's movements stopped, he looked at Jiang Yu again, his eyes were inquiring, and he could see that he was eager to find an answer: "Jiang Yu, do you love Ji Chuan?"
“… I like him. Her hesitation came from being surprised that Ji Cheng was so straightforward, not that she was hesitant about her emotions.
"Can this love support you to take care of him for the rest of your life?" Ji Cheng continued to ask.
"I ......," she was really stumped by the question, "maybe I didn't answer well enough." My liking for him already carries with it the responsibility of taking care of him for the rest of my life. ”
He was slightly surprised, "You've already thought about it?"
"Yes. I've already figured it out. Jiang Yu said.
"So... If he did something out of his control, would you forgive and accept him?"
Can't control yourself?
Could it be what happened in the study that day?
Isn't that Ji Chuan's highly sensitive nerve as a patient with Asperger's syndrome?
"I can. It shouldn't be a big deal, she said.
"Jiang Yu, remember your words today. He gave her a deep look, then opened the door and walked out.
Jiang Yu looked at the closed door, a little inexplicable, today's Ji Cheng seemed a little abnormal.
She thought she had witnessed all the storms, but she didn't know that it was just the tip of the iceberg.
The wonderful, brilliant aurora borealis only attracted her, a fisherman in a small boat, to the deeper part of the sea.
The storm is coming.
