At nine o'clock the next morning, when Ma Yi stood at the entrance of the courtyard of the insect house, he was a little dazed.

He was hesitating to go in when the door opened.

Jiang You walked out with the strap of the satchel, "Morning, you've arrived." ”

"Yes, I just arrived, and the car was parked outside," Ma Yi hesitated, "Or, it's still ......"

"Let's go, let's have breakfast." Jiang You walked past him, "You have to come two months earlier, when the saury is on the market, the saury noodles and the saury wontons are the freshest." ”

For a moment, Ma Yi forgot what he wanted to say.

He followed Jiang You to Xiao Fangzhai next to him, ate a bowl of meat noodles in a daze, got into the car in a daze, sat in the driver's seat, and looked at the hand holding the steering wheel.

In a daze, Jiang You handed over the mint candy box, and he asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Ma Yi subconsciously took the candy box, opened it, and poured out two mints and put them in his mouth.

The chill spread down the tip of his tongue into his brain.

He felt a little sober.

He looked at the road and stepped on the accelerator, "Tianhua stayed with me yesterday, chatted for most of the night, and slept for three days in the morning." ”

"His wife doesn't care about him?"

"I'm getting a divorce."

"Why? He mentioned his wife last night, and it sounded very good. ”

The steering wheel turned, and then the car got on the elevated road, "His wife didn't agree with him coming out to start a business, women, they all want stability." ”

"If the relationship is still there, there is no need to divorce."

"The matter of starting a business, it all depends on hanging forward in one breath, rushing forward, you can't stop," Ma Yi glanced at Jiang You with his spare eyes, "The whole person is burning, to do it, to solve it, to open up, once it stops, the spirit and body that are overdrawn can't go back to that state, it will become very decadent, and it will take a long time to raise." ”

"Sounds like you've done that, too?" Jiang You asked.

Ma Yi sighed, with a look of memory on his face, "I, I don't have to worry about feeding the whole family alone, when I earn a lot, I live a chic time, when I earn less, I have lived on instant noodles and steamed buns, and I have not saved any money, she and I have a lot of age differences, and I plan to go to graduate school, I just want to fight and get a studio, at that time, Tianhua introduced me to a lot of work, and when it stabilizes in a few years, she also graduates, and she can get married." ”

"Sitting in the office is not as stable as it seems," Jiang You looked out the window, "Attached to the company, resources, connections, and prestige, all of them are not their own." You know last month, oh no, it was last month, and there was a person jumping off the building in Xinwan, right? ”

"You know, the employees of Xiaoqiao, right? What's wrong? ”

"He's my tenant."

"By the way, I remember, at that time, it seemed that someone was privately looking for Tianhua to make an order."

"Make a list?" Jiang You looked at Ma Yi suspiciously.

"It's the water army, responsible for stirring up the topic, and then leading the direction, Tianhua felt that this was a bit unkind, so he didn't answer," Ma Yi explained: "Later, I found a colleague of his who did it, and it seemed that he took a lot of money." ”

"His parents are honest people, the only son is gone, and he was splashed with dirty ......water," Jiang You sighed, "Two farmers, the son has just graduated not long ago, saying that it is the leading project, Xiao Qiao himself is still a start-up company, and it is not a traffic fresh meat, and if he goes through the motions to get hundreds of thousands of millions, being hacked can only be regarded as a side effect." ”

"This water is deep, since I found out that traffic is money."

"When a man dies, he can't live." Jiang You took out a cola from his satchel and took a sip.

Ma Yi glanced at the Coke bottle, "Didn't you drink sugar-free?" ”

"Stock, stock, drink it and it's gone."

Ma Yi sneered, "If you can lose weight, I can quit smoking." ”

"Someone has to take care of this, a while ago, on a blind date, the first time I met, the girl gave me a list of seven quasi-seven prohibitions, who wants to marry her, must live a healthy life."

"Do you really believe it, how many women can control it without buying lipstick or bags? Hey, Xiaoxing, it's my ex-girlfriend, her name is Lang Xing, isn't this name particularly atmospheric? ”

"It's a rare name for a girl."

"She is skillful, she likes to make models and props, that is, her face is good, and she looks good no matter what......"

Jiang You handed a cigarette to Ma Yi.

Ma Yi took it and lit it.

He opened the window slightly.

The car drove off the elevated highway and after two streets, it arrived at the Tangjiang Mental Health Center.

Ma Yi took Jiang You and walked straight to the inpatient department.

Patients undergoing closed treatment live in a small, separate building with a garden.

Ma Yi smoked another cigarette before entering.

It was exactly ten o'clock.

Ma Yi took out his visitation card, and after registering at the front desk, he waited for five or six minutes before a nurse took them through the curfew and to the garden.

"How's she doing? The treatment is coming to an end. Ma Yi asked the nurse.

"I still didn't sleep well."

Ma Yi sighed.

Lang Xing sat on a bench in the shade of a tree.

She wore a hospital gown with blue and white stripes.

Very young.

It's very thin and white, and it makes the eyes look bigger and bigger.

The thin fingers twisted the corners of the clothes a little uneasily.

Seeing Ma Yi and Jiang You walking towards her, her body leaned back slightly, lowered her head, but couldn't help but look up again to see Ma Yi.

The nurse took them and left.

Ma Yi walked up to her.

Lang Xing noticed Jiang You.

"This is, my friend, Jiang You." Ma Yi introduced Jiang You to Lang Xing.

"Hello." Lang Xing wanted to stand up, but Jiang You squatted down in front of her.

He looked up into Lang Xing's eyes.

"Jiang You? What are you doing? Ma Yi's tone was filled with concern and anxiety.

Jiang You reached out and grabbed Lang Xing's right hand, Lang Xing struggled for a moment, wanting to break away, Ma Yi stretched out his hand to pull Jiang You's arm.

But they found that their bodies stiffened.

Unable to move.

Then, Ma Yi saw that he withdrew his hand, turned around, and sat on the bench with Lang Xing.

He saw his wrists, his elbows, transparent silk threads.

He was controlled.

He turned into a marionette.

Little Star.

His little star.

He brought this person who he had known for less than a week to Xiaoxing.

He suddenly realized this.

He remembered the tattoo card he had seen in the worm house, the cigarette Jiang You handed him, and the postcard he had written......

"Naturally, come, laugh, it's all surveillance here."

He heard Jiang You's voice.

He felt the muscles at the corners of his mouth pull up and down.

Then he and Lang Xing's bodies turned slightly sideways, and they stared at each other.

He saw the fear that couldn't be hidden in Lang Xing's eyes.

"You know, for you, I got up at eight o'clock this morning and coaxed that ancestor for almost an hour...... I'll have to make it clear to you first, my services are charged. Jiang You held Lang Xing's hand and wrapped a transparent silk thread around her ring finger.

Ma Yi watched as the silk threads melted into Lang Xing's skin.

Jiang You stood up, and he sat on the other side of Lang Xing.

Ma Yi and Lang Xing's postures changed slightly.

At a glance, it just looks like three friends chatting leisurely. A nurse walked by, and after one glance at them, she moved on.

"You'll thank me."
