Yan Hongzhi can't remember how he got home.

When he came to his senses, he found himself sleeping on the bed in his bedroom, lying in Kim Cheol-so's arms.

"Cheol-so......" Yim Hong-sik shouted, and the tears flowed uncontrollably again, blurring Kim Cheol-so's face.

Kim Cheol-so gently wiped away his tears, "I'm here, I'm here." ”

"My heart hurts so much, it's about to die...... Yan Hongzhi choked up and said incoherently: "I originally thought that I didn't love him much, even if I broke up, I would be sad for a few days like the previous times, but, but, it doesn't seem to be like that, I love him far more than I imagined, and when I think of losing him, I can't wait to die immediately...... Why? Why did God do this to me? Why are you playing with me over and over again? I just want to live a peaceful life, why is it so difficult? Why? It's not fair, it's not fair...... I will never meet someone as good as him again in my life, it will never be possible again, what should I do? Cheol-so, what should I do? I felt so bad, I felt like I was going to die...... Help me, Cheol-so, save me......"

Such a lost and depressed Im Hong-sik made Kim Cheol-so feel strange, at a loss, and more distressed.

Kim Cheol-so didn't know how to comfort him at all, so he just blindly hugged Yan Hong-sik tightly in his arms, and kept saying, "Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry......"

Yan Hongzhi's hoarse crying did not stop for a moment, as if he wanted to dry the tears of this life tonight.

I don't know how long it took, but the crying gradually subsided, then turned into sobs, and finally fell silent.

Kim Cheol-so wiped away the remaining tears from the corners of Yan Hongsik's eyes, sighed silently, and his eyes were full of distress.

Although they live together, Kim Cheol-so will never understand why Yim Hong-sik is happy and why he is crying.

They are so close, yet so far away.

In the final analysis, it is because he has not yet become a real social person, he is still ignorant and confused.

Therefore, he studied hard, looking forward to one day being able to truly integrate into this world, to be able to read Yan Hongzhi's joys, sorrows, and sorrows, at least at a moment like today, in the face of Yan Hongzhi's sadness, he will not be helpless, and can find a way to comfort him.

Kim Cheol-so told himself that he had to work harder.

*

Yan Hongzhi woke up from a nightmare.

When he woke up, he realized that it was not a dream, but reality.

He really has lost Liu Shizhen.

Yan Hongzhi sat up, only to feel a splitting headache, a dry throat, and extremely uncomfortable.

He habitually took his mobile phone, wanting to confirm whether there was a call or text message from Liu Shizhen.

The screen lights up and the notification bar shows a text message from Novio, sent at 5 a.m.

Yan Hongzhi clicked with apprehension.

"What you said last night, I won't take to heart. I know that you love me, even though you have never said the words 'I love you' to me. I was supposed to tell you yesterday that I was going to start a six-month overseas dispatch from today, and I was leaving Korea in two hours. Six months later, when I stand in front of you again, I hope you've figured it out and hope you'll hug and kiss me passionately. I love you until the day I die. ”

Yan Hongzhi tried his best to hold back tears.

He had cried enough yesterday and should no longer indulge in grief and despair.

Today's qiē is all caused by himself, and he has no right to cry anymore.

What's more, Liu Shizhen's departure is simply a gift from God to him.

Yan Hongzhi stabilized his feelings, got up and got out of bed.

Just then, the door was pushed open and Kim Cheol-so walked in.

"Are you awake?" Kim Cheol-so walked up to him, looked at his pale face, and asked worriedly, "Are you uncomfortable?" ”

Yan Hongzhi pulled up a weak smile, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay." ”

Kim Cheol-so handed him the water cup in his hand, "Honey water, moisten your throat." ”

Yan Hongzhi took it, raised his head and drank it all, his throat was really much more comfortable, "Thank you." ”

Kim Cheol-so took the empty cup and said, "Go wash up, I'll boil the porridge and it will be fine immediately." ”

Yan Hongzhi snorted, just walked to the door, turned around again, and asked, "What time does Teacher Gao come over today?" ”

Kim Cheol-so said: "Half past two in the afternoon. ”

"Oh, I see."

At 2:20 in the afternoon, Gao Nanshun came to Yan Hongzhi's house on time.

Kim Cheol-so was ready for class, but Yan Hong-sik said, "Cheol-so, I have a few words to say to Teacher Gao alone, and the class time is delayed by half an hour." ”

Kim Cheol-so nodded and said yes.

Yan Hongzhi turned to Gao Nanshun and said, "Teacher Gao, let's take a step to speak." ”

Gao Namshun nodded, and then followed Yan Hongzhi into his bedroom.

Gao Nanshun didn't know what he was going to say, and stood in the bedroom a little restrained.

Yan Hongzhi took out a white envelope from the drawer, walked up to Gao Nam-shun, and handed it to him, "Take it." ”

Gao Nanshun took it for some reason and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Yan Hongzhi said: "Inside is a check for 20 million. ”

Gao Nanshun was even more confused, "What are you giving me so much money for?" ”

Yan Hongzhi said: "This is an advance salary. I'm leaving soon, and it's been quite a while. 20 million is my estimate of the tutoring fee that will be required until Cheol-so is admitted to university, and I will pay you a lump sum now. ”

Gao Nanshun was silent for three seconds and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away with this money?" ”

Yan Hongzhi smiled and said, "After getting along with Tongguò during this time, I already have enough understanding of your personality, and I believe that you will not do such a thing." ”

Gao Nanshun hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you ...... What happened? ”

Yan Hongzhi said bluntly and said: "Yes, I have an accident, and it is a major matter of human life." So, for a long time to come, I won't be able to be with Cheol-so. In addition to teaching Cheol-so in his studies, I also hope that you can help Cheol-so more in your life. As you know, Cheol-so is a very simple person, who knows very little about this complex world, and even less about human affairs, and I am worried that he will not be able to integrate well into school life even if he is admitted to university in the future. Therefore, I would like to ask you to help him as much as you can and take care of him. Of course, I will provide you with the corresponding remuneration......"

"No need." Gao Nam-shun interrupted him and said, "I have long regarded Cheol-so as a friend, even if you don't say it, I will do my best to take care of Cheol-so, and I don't need your payment." ”

"If that's the case, it couldn't be better." Yan Hongzhi bowed to him and said, "Mr. Gao Nanshun, thank you." ”

Gao Nanshun bent down and returned the salute, "You're welcome." ”

*

After the class was over, Gao Nanshun said hello to Yan Hongzhi and left.

It was almost five o'clock, and Yim Hong-sik asked Kim Cheol-so, "What do you want to eat for dinner?" I'll do it for you. ”

Kim Cheol-so sat at the table, looked up at him, and said, "I heard everything you just said. ”

"I forgot, your hearing is dozens of times stronger than ordinary people." Yan Hongzhi walked up to him and sat down, his face was as usual, and even with a faint smile, he said, "I originally wanted to tell you after dinner, but since you mentioned it, let's talk about it now." ”

Kim Chol-so watched him quietly, waiting for the following.

Yan Hongzhi said: "Maybe tomorrow, I want to do something very important to me. Don't ask me what the matter is, I'm not going to sue you. This will take me away from you for a while, maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe ten years, maybe longer. However, I will definitely come back. Although I have told you not to wait for me many times, this time, Cheol-so, you must wait for me. I will definitely keep my promise and return to you. Do you believe me? ”

Kim Cheol-so nodded without a moment of hesitation and said, "I believe in you." ”

Although he has been ruthlessly disappointed, Kim Cheol-so still firmly believes that the person he loves will definitely come to him again.

Yan Hongzhi was moved in his heart and almost wanted to cry, but he held back.

In this last short time, he wanted to leave as much of Kim Cheol-so's smiling face as possible.

"I bought this house and you can live here with peace of mind. If you feel lonely, you can also go to Yoo Si-jin's father, this is what he expects, and this is what I expect. You live alone, I always feel uneasy. ”

"I can take care of myself, do laundry, buy groceries, cook, clean, I've learned all of this, you don't have to worry." Kim Cheol-so looked him in the eye and said, "I'm going to live here, and I'm going to wait here for you to come back." ”

"Okay, I'm sure you'll be able to take care of yourself." Yan Hongzhi thought for a moment and told him all the problems that could be expected: "Gao Nanshun is a very reliable person, I have asked him to take care of you, if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you can ask him for help." By the way, there is also your household registration problem, you must urge Liu Shizhen's father to do his best. If Liu Shizhen asks you about me in the future, don't tell him anything, I will ...... The relationship has been severed. There is also a snowman, which should be taken around the park downstairs frequently, and it should also be taken to the pet store regularly to bathe and get vaccinated. All my bank-bank-card passwords are 840625, and if you need money, you can go to the bank to withdraw it, and if you don't know how to operate, ask the staff. ”

Kim Cheol-so didn't ask anything, just agreed to come down one by one.

Yan Hongzhi couldn't think of any questions to tell for the time being, so he smiled and said, "Let's cook together." What do you want to eat? ”

Kim Cheol-so smiled slightly, innocent and beautiful, "I want to eat mixed vegetable bibimbap and kimchi soup." ”

"Okay, let's make bibimbap and kimchi soup, and fry a zucchini cake, how about we?"

"Okay."

Two people go grocery shopping together, cook together, eat together, wash dishes together, walk the dog together, wash together, and go to bed together.

On the last night, the two didn't want to be separated for a moment.

Lying side by side on the bed, silent for a long time, Yan Hongzhi asked with a smile: "I don't know what we will become when we meet again." ”

Kim Cheol-so smiled and said, "It must be better than now." ”

"Hmm." Yan Hongzhi said: "Maybe by that time, you will already be a college student, or a college graduate, find a decent job, meet someone who loves him and you, and live a happy life." As for me, I can finally get rid of all the shadows of the past, wash away the blood stains on my body, and become a new person, living easily. ”

Kim Cheol-so said, "It sounds like a happy one. ”

Yan Hongzhi held his hand and said with a smile: "Well, we will definitely be happy, we will." ”

Kim Cheol-so shook him hard and smiled slightly.

*

As soon as the sky was bright, Yan Hongzhi woke up.

Kim Cheol-so is still asleep.

Yan Hongzhi stretched out his hand to brush away the broken hair on his forehead, and said softly: "Zhexiu, sleep, don't get up." I don't want to say goodbye to you, I don't want you to see me break down and cry. You'll wake up when I'm gone, okay? ”

Kim Cheol-so was still asleep, but Yim Hong-sik knew that he heard him.

Yan Hong-sik got up, took a bath, brushed his teeth, shaved, dried his hair, changed into a set of clothes that looked formal, and finally took a look at Kim Cheol-so, who was still asleep and bathed in the morning light, and said softly: "Cheol-so, wait for me, I will definitely come back." ”

Leaving home, Yan Hongzhi came to the bus stop and took the bus.

It was still early, and there were a few passengers sparsely seated in the car, all of them early office workers, sitting listlessly dozing off in their seats.

Outside the car window, cleaners are cleaning the streets, and there is already a long queue in front of the shop that sells breakfast.

Yan Hongzhi took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Kong Zheho.

- No matter what happens to me in the future, don't tell Liu Shizhen a word.

Fifteen minutes later, Yan Hongzhi arrived at the police station.

He sat across from a middle-aged male policeman and said in a deep voice, "I turned myself in, I killed someone." ”
