The night in Nancheng was pitch black, engulfing me like a bottomless black hole, and I stood at the gate of the community and didn't know where to go. It's really pitiful to think about it, I stayed in a city for three years, and I didn't have any friends, only Han Muzhi, and I made it like that.

Thinking of Han Muzhi, I called Yingying, I don't know if she moved out, if not, I still have a place to stay and relax. The phone rang for a long time, and Yingying's lazy voice remembered: "But Sister Qiao, what's wrong?" ”

"Excuse me to rest. Have you moved? I asked, a little apologetically.

"Not yet, the lease period of the new house is a bit problematic, and it will take half a month." Yingying sobered up a little, "Are you coming over?" ”

"Hmm." My voice was a little embarrassed, "I want to go to your place for two days." May I? ”

"Absolutely. You're always welcome. Yingying's voice was brisk, "I'll wait to open the door for you." ”

After hanging up the phone, I let out a long breath, waved a taxi, and went straight to Yingying's house. Yingying really got up and waited for me, took me in, and asked curiously, "But Sister Qiao, is something wrong?" ”

"It's nothing," I crossed my hands, barely squeezing out a smile, "I'll go get some rest first." ”

"Okay, then you can sleep first." Yingying didn't ask me again very intimately, and opened my original bedroom door, "No one has lived in it since you left, and the bedding can be used." ”

"Thank you." I said to her gratefully, then closed the door and fell asleep. Probably I'm still fit to sleep alone after all, lying here, the heart-rending pain doesn't seem so heart-wrenching.

The next day, I slept until ten o'clock and didn't wake up, and when I got up, Yingying bought it early and put it on the coffee table in the living room, and I was a little embarrassed to say, "I slept too long." ”

"Soon," said Yingying with a grin, "if I felt bad, I would be able to sleep for a day and a night." By the way," Yingying said cautiously as she looked at me, "Did you quarrel with him?" ”

"Nope." I didn't quarrel with Lu Zenghan, but it was far less enjoyable than a fierce quarrel.

"Don't lie to me." Yingying pouted, "When I went to buy breakfast in the morning, I saw that his car was parked downstairs, and it seemed that it had been parked all night, and he fell asleep inside." I slapped the glass a few times before he woke up. ”

My heart tugged so hard that I could barely breathe. I looked down at my feet and whispered, "Oh, yes? What did he say? ”

"I asked him what he was doing here, and he said he wanted to wait for you to come out. I told him you were sleeping, tell him not to wait. And he was gone. Yingying pouted, "The bitter meat trick is all rotten on TV." ”

My heart trembled again, Yingying said a long time ago that many of Lu Zenghan's actions are routines, and only people like me who have no love experience will be fooled. I don't take it seriously, but now, I really feel what it's like to be designed into a trap step by step. I didn't speak.

Yingying handed me the breakfast: "Eat it quickly." I'll have something to do later, and I'll ask my brother to come and talk to you. ”

"Makiyuki?" I was a little flustered, "No, I'm going to the clinic after eating." ”

"But Sister Qiao, I don't mean anything else." Yingying smiled, "I'm going to choose a wedding photo today, and the date I made an appointment can't be changed." Besides, my brother is a psychiatrist, and he is a friend with you, both public and private, and he is the best person to chat with you now. ”

"Choosing a film, so fast?" I asked in surprise, and then said sincerely, "Bless you, it's really hard to find someone to hold hands with for a lifetime." ”

"Find the right person and everything will be fast." Yingying patted my hand, "But Sister Qiao, put aside the unhappy in advance, you are so good, sooner or later happiness will come." ”

Will I? How am I? I've never denied myself like I do now. When Lu Zenghan showed favor to me, I had a little joy and a little inflated self-confidence, but now I have already denied it completely. As soon as Yingying's front foot left, Han Muzhi came on the back foot. I haven't seen him for a long time, his spirit is not very good, and he is a little tired.

He and I sat on the couch on either side, and neither of us spoke for a long time. After a while, he spoke first: "How are you doing?" ”

"It's okay. The same old way. I barely squeezed out a smile, I look like this, I'm afraid Yingying has already told him if I'm okay.

"Where's Keyi? Have you been to Southtown lately? Han Muzhi asked, "I also said that we would have a meal together, but I haven't seen her all the time." ”

"Nope." I've been busy lately, and so has my sister, and we've been a little out of touch.

After a pause, Han Muzhi finally asked the topic: "You read the book I gave you?" ”

"Hmm." I replied softly, then looked at him and said, "Did you already know something before you recommended this book to me?" ”

"By chance, a psychiatrist in the industry recommended me to read the book "The Magic of Psychology", after reading it, I thought it was very interesting, but there are always some ways and bridges that make me feel familiar. After thinking about it carefully, it is the same as Lu Zenghan's way of treating you. Han Muzhi's voice was warm, but it made my heart tighten, and he continued, "For example, the way he appeared was mysterious and provocative. For example, he asks you to go to the doctor, and everything goes out of the ordinary way, and he succeeds in getting your attention. Later, he is at the bar, using physical contact to make you empathize, and also gives you a watch. When Han Muzhi said this, his face was a little unsightly. This should have been what Yingying told him. I bowed my head and said nothing, acquiescing to his words.

Han Muzhi continued: "As for the other details of your relationship, I don't know, but what I know is exactly what is written in the book. I think the person who wrote this book should have a very close relationship with him. ”

"Actually, you know that he wrote it, right?" I'm not good at hiding, so I asked it bluntly.

"Yes." Han Muzhi didn't talk to me sloppily, "A while ago, it happened that Jamson, the editor-in-chief of this book, came to Nancheng for a meeting, and I made an appointment with him to meet. Figured out something. "I remembered Han Muzhi and a foreign man I once saw outside the coffee shop, no wonder I felt familiar with that person at the time, it turned out to be Jamson, my mentor's senior brother.

"What did you figure out?" I looked at Han Muzhi and sweated in my hands. If he also knew the identity of Lu Zenghan's policeman, would he do something?

Han Muzhi looked at my nervous expression, smiled faintly, and said, "I know Lu Zenghan's identity. He used to be a police officer, or he is still a police officer. ”

"And then? What do you want to do? I bit my lip and looked at him urgently.

"But Joe, what do you think I want to do?" A thin layer of anger appeared on Han Muzhi's face, "Your current expression is as if Lu Zenghan is an undercover agent, and you are afraid that I will expose him." Could it be that you have reached this point where you still care about him? ”

I was hit to the point by his words, and what he said was indeed what worried me. I shook my head slightly, "No, but I really don't understand what you mean." Why did you give me that book? ”

"Because I don't want to see you being cheated and cheated on." Han Muzhi's tone was a little hard, "I don't care what that Lu Zenghan does." Whether he's a police officer, an undercover agent, or the CEO of Yuanhang, it has nothing to do with me. As to whether the voyage was a serious shipping or an illegal business, I don't want to get involved. I'm always concerned only about you, but Joe, you're a psychotherapist, and you know what it means for him to use psychological routines for you. It's not just his insincerity, but also, why does he trick you? Don't you want to know? ”

"Of course I do. But," I rubbed my hands, "I don't know what I have about that worthy of his tricks." That's exactly what I couldn't figure out. ”

"You're really unaware?" Han Muzhi pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you talked to Keyi about him?" Does Ke Yi know about him? ”

I shook my head, I didn't dare to tell my sister about my relationship, Lu Zenghan is not a reliable person in the eyes of the world, I am afraid that my sister will object, and I am even more afraid that my delivery will really make my sister worry. But now, isn't it just the fulfillment of my sister's instructions? After thousands of instructions, I still paid my heart wrongly. Fortunately, I didn't tell my sister, if I told her, I was afraid that she would rush over to find Lu Zenghan again.

"Didn't he ask Ke Yi then?" Han Muzhi looked at me and asked suspiciously.

"Sister?" I frowned and thought about it, he didn't deliberately ask, but I sometimes took the initiative to tell him about my sister when she was a child. I shook my head, "He didn't ask." Why did he ask his sister? ”

After Yang Yize and Yingying became boyfriend and girlfriend, they soon took them to meet Yingying's parents. Since Lu Zenghan is dating you, he should also ask to see your parents, aren't your parents Keyi now? Han Muzhi said lightly, "I'm just talking about the most common human feelings, it stands to reason that Lu Zenghan's next routine should be to meet Keyi." ”

Although Han Muzhi's words were correct, the way he spoke made me a little puzzled, he seemed to know a lot of things, but he didn't know what to say, I couldn't help but ask, "What do you know, Muzhi?" You mean, Lu Zenghan's routine is for me to see my sister? ”

"I'm just guessing, there's no concrete evidence." Han Muzhi finally made up his mind and said, "As far as I know, he should be looking for Keyi, but he can't find it, so he has to take the opportunity to approach you to find her." ”

"Why is he looking for his sister?" My heart suddenly began to hurt a little, Han Muzhi's words were directions I had never thought of, but it seemed that the dark curtain of the night had opened a glimmer of light, which faintly made me understand.

"I don't know. I can't know better. Han Muzhi looked at me and said in a deep voice, "If you don't believe me, we'll look at his future actions, and I guess he will definitely propose to see Keyi." ”
