Chapter 239: Stockholm Syndrome
Room 415 of Moon Lake Hotel. Xia Jinyu's phone was once again ruthlessly hung up by Xia Shi. He put away his phone, looked at Tian Rui apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Sister Xiaorui, my brother said that they are really busy now, and they can't get out of their ...... for a while."
"Yes, I think Officer Gu doesn't want to come back to see me......" Tian Rui sighed helplessly, and silently turned her face out of the window.
Half a month ago, Tian Rui's memory had been completely restored. She remembered how she had been hurt, how she had lost her memory, and how she had been caught in this place. Of course, she also remembered all the things related to Gu Song, which were mixed with sweetness, happiness, fear and sad memories......
She knew that the misfortune she had suffered was largely "implicated" by that man, but she also knew that it was not the man's fault.
When she first fell in love, she was very clear about the nature of Gu Song's work, and she also knew what kind of dangerous people the other party was dealing with every day. She didn't associate with Gu Song because of impulsiveness or hero worship, but she was indeed thoughtful and mentally prepared to face difficulties, so she didn't blame Gu Song at all for these things that happened later.
Although they separated a few months ago, Tian Rui was reluctant to give up this relationship.
If she has the opportunity, she still wants to return to Gu Song's side, hoping that their lives can start again. However, she knew Gu Song's temper and character too well, and knew that the other party must be exhausted by these painful encounters, living in self-blame and guilt all day long, trying every way to make up for those unwarranted mistakes. In order to protect her, it is said that it is for her good, Gu Song's choice is probably to stay away from her and give up on her......
Thinking of this, Tian Rui's mood couldn't help but feel a little lost. She finally waited for the day when she regained her freedom, but the man she loved did not appear in front of her for the first time.
"Sister Xiaorui, Sister Xiaorui!"
Xia Jinyu's voice pulled Tian Rui back to reality from her contemplation. She turned her head, barely squeezed out a smile and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Are you hungry? I took it out to eat. ”
"Huh? No need, I'll ...... now" Before Tian Rui's words were finished, Xia Jinyu stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and said half-jokingly: "Let's go, don't worry about that negative man." If they want to handle the case, let them go, I can't ask you to be your flower messenger. ”
"But......" Tian Rui hesitated, still having some concerns in her heart. Shouldn't we say hello to your brother? Save them from worrying. ”
"I've said it all, you don't have to deal with both of them." Xia Jinyu blinked at Tian Rui, and confidently said with a package ticket, "I'm also an adult, I can take care of you, don't worry." ”
"It's not that I'm worried about you."
"That's good." Xia Jinyu smiled, took Tian Rui's hand and walked outside. "Sister Xiaorui, after eating, we will walk around the city casually. Finally, we have to take a walk along the magnificent Dadu River to pay homage to the historical memorial site of the Red Army's Long March. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Tian Rui was finally moved by Xia Jinyu's words. After all, after being locked in the house for more than a month, she felt that she had derailed from this world.
She likes Xia Jinyu very much, although they have only known each other for less than three hours, they have a sense of déjà vu between them. The boy was about the same age as her dead brother and had very similar childhood experiences. When she saw Xia Jinyu, she couldn't help but think of Tian Jiaxuan, and couldn't help but want to treat this gentle and lovely big boy as her own brother.
After leaving the hotel, the two of them found a farmhouse restaurant on the side of the street with decent sanitary conditions. Just in time for the lunch rush, the business in the restaurant is very hot, and the diners are basically outsiders who come here to play.
Xia Jinyu quickly glanced around the store and asked Tian Rui, "Isn't the environment here too noisy?" Do you want to change your home to a quieter place? ”
"Don't change it, the last thing I'm afraid of now is that there are too many people." Tian Rui said and pointed to the empty table behind a middle-aged couple, "Let's sit there." You don't know, I've been really suffocated for more than a month, and I can't wait to come to such a lively place to get a taste of popularity. ”
"It's hard to say if you want to see people, I'll take you around the square in a while."
As he spoke, both of them were seated. Xia Jinyu flipped through the simple menu on the table, and saw that Tian Rui was not very interested in food, so he ordered a few local specialties by himself.
After ordering, he asked Tian Rui curiously, "By the way, how did you survive for more than a month?" They didn't bully you, did they? ”
"Of course not." Tian Rui shook his head and said, "You see I'm not living a good life." Except for not going to a regular hospital for a follow-up, all other aspects were taken care of. ”
"The person in charge of taking care of you is that Miss M?"
"Oh? Miss M? That's what you all call her? "It's the first time Tian Rui has heard this kind of name." I've always called her Sister Mi Wen. To be honest, during the time I was under house arrest, she took good care of me, and even asked a private doctor to check me on during this time. Although that person may not be a serious doctor, I have been able to survive until now thanks to the help of that person. ”
"Hearing you say that, I don't think Miss M is very bad. However, the reason why she takes good care of you must be that she is afraid that something will happen to you, and their plan will not be able to go ahead as usual. ”
"No, not exactly." Tian Rui hurriedly explained, for fear that Xia Jinyu would misunderstand something. "Sister Mi Wen is not a bad person, she really cares about me to be so good to me."
"What? I heard you right. Xia Jinyu's eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Tian Rui in disbelief and said, "Sister Xiaorui, you don't have a fever in your brain, right?" That woman is the big boss of the human trafficking gang, she kidnapped you and locked you up for more than a month, and you even said that she is not a bad person? ”
"She didn't come up with the idea of kidnapping me. She was only acting on orders, as a last resort. ”
"Oh my God!" Xia Jinyu patted his head, shook his head helplessly, and said, "You must have developed Stockholm syndrome and are completely psychologically dependent on that woman." ”
"I don't." Tian Rui retorted with a serious face, "Actually, you don't know Sister Mi Wen. She is also pitiful and a victim. She fell in love with a jerk and lost her only child. The person who really produced Stockholm syndrome was not me, it was her. ”
"What do you mean by that?" The more Xia Jinyu listened, the more confused she became, and asked casually, "Do you want to tell me that Miss M was kidnapped by Shen Hang?" ”
"That's pretty much what it means." Tian Rui said regretfully, "Actually, Sister Mi Wen was a victim 11 years ago. Listen to me tell you a story, and you'll understand. ”
