A cool summer afternoon that I can't remember.

The breeze blows through the balcony in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, blowing up the little laundry detergent on the clothes to dry, and the fragrance of the laundry detergent wafts indoors. The sleepy child faintly heard the sound of the piano in his sleepiness, and the melodious piano music slowly moved forward like a clear stream, refreshing people's hearts.

"Hmm......" The child, who had just woken up from his sleep, opened his eyes and got up from the floor in a daze.

The boy lifted the air conditioner quilt on his body and rubbed his eyes lazily, the cold touch of the ground had not completely dissipated from his skin.

"I'm sorry to wake you up." The man stopped playing and said to the boy.

"Dad, are you playing the piano?" The boy steadied his weight and walked barefoot to the piano.

The boy's innocent voice evoked a smile.

"yes." The man's voice was deep and deep, full of special magnetism, "Do you like people who play the piano?" ”

"I don't like it." The boy's answer was quick, as if he knew the question.

"Why?" The man asked him with a frown, looking a little concerned about the answer to the question.

"Because, Dad can also play the piano, but you will beat me and Mom."

This sentence came from the mouth of a child who did not understand the world, but it hurt the man's broken heart even more, and he realized that he had done something wrong to them again.

"That's ......"

"Ah, son, you're awake." On the balcony walked a long-haired woman wearing a household apron, a few bruises under the long sleeves were tightly wrapped.

"I'm hungry, Mom." The child tugged at the corner of the woman's apron, "I want to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at night." ”

"Okay, whatever you want to eat, Mom will take you to buy it." The woman put her apron off on the bench and carried the boy past the piano.

A not-so-dazzling soft light shines through the floor-to-ceiling window and onto the surface of the piano's keys.

"Am I causing you trouble again......" the man sitting on the piano bench stood up and asked in a remorseful tone.

"Why do you ask?"

"Because, I feel like you're deliberately avoiding ......," the man said, weighing the volume of his speech, afraid of burdening them psychologically.

The man also knew that the diagnosis certificate given to him by the hospital three years ago clearly stated that he was suffering from a mental illness of "dissociative identity disorder". In other words, the person diagnosed with the disease will have a different personality.

And his other personality is the cause of domestic violence.

Once stimulated, his violent personality will come out and take control of his body, using violence against them who are alienated from him. After a while, when he returned to normal, he was like missing his memory, and he couldn't remember any of the processes in between.

The treatment proposed by the hospital was also used, but nothing worked. The man who was disgusted with going to the hospital to cooperate with the examination, and his temperament began to deteriorate.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" The woman held back her tears, "If you want to apologize, then it's better to forgive." ”

The boy held the woman's hand tightly, and at this time only his mother's hand could give him a solid enough sense of security.

"I know, even if I apologize, you won't accept it, give me another chance, okay?" The man didn't find too many reasons, but instead spoke in a compassionate manner, as if he wanted to settle the matter.

But the man waited for the woman to slam the door and come out.

"Mom, can you live separately from Dad?" The boy said with some trepidation, "I'm so scared of my father's appearance, he looks scary." ”

“……”

"Now, is mom okay?"

"It's almost there, Zhengchen will wait a little longer." The woman looked at the boy's clear eyes, and instantly lost the idea of lying.

Bang!

Another beam of fireworks rose into the night sky, and the roar that followed directly dragged Xu Zhengchen's consciousness back to the beach.

"Huh? What's wrong with me......"

Xu Zhengchen looked around, he was still in the night view of the beach in Haifeng Town, the fireworks on the shore were rushing into the sky without stopping, and the tourists and townspeople were still immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

He turned his head and swept the picnic mat not far away with his eyes, Jiang Yizhe and the three of them were still playing with the playing cards in their hands, and the smile overflowing between their eyebrows seemed to be able to infect everyone around them.

Xu Zhengchen sprayed some mosquito repellent toilet water near the picnic mat, and then set off to find Su Yuxi at the convenience store.

More than ten minutes had passed since Su Yuxi left, and just in case, he had to go find someone in person.

On the other hand, he always felt that there were some unscrupulous people around him, and this feeling had been haunting him since the beginning.

Beach convenience store, on-site.

"Scan the code or pay in cash?" The cashier brother continued to ask patiently.

He suddenly realized that the girl in front of the stage was so clumsy that she was a little cute.

Su Yuxi took out a ten-yuan bill from the pocket of his shorts, smoothed out the folds and handed it to the other party.

"It's looking for your change, and you're welcome to come back next time." The cashier picked up a few coins from the cash register and slowly delivered them to her.

Su Yuxi, who had received the change, gave him a sign language, thanked him and left the overcrowded convenience store.

"Little sister, little sister."

A muscular man with a small head and a sports vest threw a wink at her, and the flirtatious attitude shown between the pick-ups was disgusting.

The muscular man waved his arms up and down, as if to attract her attention with another purpose.

Su Yuxi raised his head slightly, and looked at the other party cautiously, at least from the appearance and dress, the muscular man is not too outlier.

"Yes, I'm talking about you." The muscular man looked directly at her, "Are you interested in playing with us?" ”

"Well, I still have something to do today...... I won't accompany you. The girl standing in front of the two men finished speaking jerkily, and then lifted her legs and left.

"Don't worry, it's okay to play for a while, besides, Xiaowen, don't you want to get to know this beautiful sister?" Another short, medium-sized man stepped forward and put his arm around the girl's shoulders and turned her back slightly.

"But if I come back late, my sister will ......."

The girl faced the man, and there was only fear in her eyes for her boyfriend.

"This delicate little face is so good-looking, Lao Tzu likes this kind of girl who talks little and looks good." The muscular man began to scare at Su Yuxi, "Let's go, let's go to the alley and have a good chat." ”

"Okay." The shorter man grabbed the girl's wrist, and the hooligan fan hidden in the laughter was suddenly revealed.

In the crowd of people walking around, Xu Zhengchen's eyes suddenly locked Su Yuxi, who was walking out of the store. There were two men and a woman beside her, all of whom were all strangers to him.

"Sorry, borrow it!" Seeing that Su Yuxi was forcibly pulled away, Xu Zhengchen quickly sped up his pace through the crowd.

"Hey, don't push people." A female voice was heard from the crowd.

"Sorry, I borrowed it!"

"What's the matter with you?"

"I'm so sorry!"

"Stinky boy, show me the way!" A majestic male voice exploded in his ears.

"Wait a minute! Don't leave! ”
