Chapter 29
A few hours ago, Shen Nian was in the innermost seat of the waiting hall, slurping instant noodles, while answering Tang Duo's phone call: "I just met Jiang Danian."
"Holding the grass! What!" There was a jingle, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, and it took a while for Tang Duo to calm down, "What did you say, the old man came out?"
"Hmm. No wonder Jiang Yao has returned to China to pick up his father from prison."
Shen Nian was like a normal person, spoonful after spoonful of rolled noodles, he ate very slowly, he had to chew each bite several times before he could swallow it, as if something was stuck in his throat.
"Are you okay?" Tang Duo asked anxiously.
Tang Duo was a little bit of a witness to what happened back then, and he was very aware of how much shadow this incident had on Shen Nian, so that for a long time afterwards, he didn't want to see people, didn't dare to go to school, and refused to go out. The psychiatrist had visited him countless times, but there was no progress until Jiang Yao dropped out of school and went abroad.
"What can I do." Shen Nian said with a dry smile, "It's been so many years, I've long forgotten."
Tang Duo: "What kind of a hero are you to lie to me?"
Shen Nian's smile froze: "..."
Tang Duo said loudly, "Wait for me at the station, I'll pick you up, don't run around alone."
Tang Duo seized the time and rushed out of the parking lot in a hurry. As soon as he started, he slammed on the brakes, and the distance from the bumper of the oncoming car was only one-tenth of a centimeter away.
Zhao Sirui brought a group of children back from a location run, and bumped into the big boss who was driving without looking at the road, his face turned green.
Tang Duo put the car in gear and backed up, stretched his neck and shouted, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Master, I'm in a hurry to save someone."
Didn't pay attention to the name.
"Save people?" Zhao Sirui didn't mind much, she had heard this nickname a lot in private, "Who needs Boss Tang's help?"
Tang Duo took it for granted: "Of course he is more expensive than me, my screenwriter Shen."
Jian Xichen and Chi Xia were sitting in the car at the same time. Hearing this, they asked Zhao Sirui to get off the car.
"what are you going to do?"
Jian Xichen said flatly: "Mr. Shen is my landlord."
Thanks to Jian Xichen who proposed this matter, if it were someone else, Zhao Sirui would have stuffed him back into the car.
Jian Xichen's recent professional ability can be described as Yiqi Juechen, even Chi Xia, who is earlier than him, is not as good as him.
The value of this person made Zhao Sirui unwilling to speak harshly to him.
Zhao Sirui hesitated and said: "Come back early, don't be too late, there will be an announcement tomorrow."
In view of Tang Duo's unsteady driving mentality, Jian Xichen then drove to the high-speed rail station to pick him up.
-
The sea of lights on both sides of the elevated road gradually dimmed, like the waves after the noise faded away, and gradually returned to calm.
Under the night, on the calm sea, there are many undercurrents surging.
The surface that is disguised with calmness, such as the person in front of him.
Tang Duo sat on the co-pilot's seat, pulled the car pillow backwards, and asked endlessly, "How many years has he been sentenced? Eleven, or twelve? Why did you come out so soon?"
"11."
Shen Nian rested his head on the car window, the passing lights outside the window reflected on his face, flickering on and off, contrasting the obscure emotions in his eyes.
"Is it 11 years so soon?" Tang Duo quickly unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to the back row, "I said you were still soft-hearted back then."
Shen Nian took the water and didn't drink it, and lowered his eyelids tiredly: "The sentencing is already quite a lot, my family can't favor one's own interests and hinder judicial justice."
Jian Xichen drove the car quietly without interrupting, and the conversation between Tang Duo and Shen Nian fell into his ears verbatim.
That was different from Shen Nian in his past impressions, he had never participated in it, so he couldn't say any suitable comfort.
Because he didn't know what kind of night this person had encountered in the time he didn't know.
Jian Xichen raised his gaze upwards, and glanced at the rearview mirror, Shen Nian's calm and docile face was reflected in the mirror, it seemed that the person concerned didn't care much about Tang Duo's cursing words.
However, Jian Xichen could see that the blue veins of blood on this man's neck suddenly appeared under his white skin.
Jian Xichen was not mistaken, Shen Nian was motionless on the surface, but he didn't know that his heart was being crushed by the car at a speed of [-] yards.
How did those fierce beasts buried in the abyss get out of their shackles so quickly?
Jian Xichen couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the steering wheel.
Even if Shen Nian is in a different time and space, with different life experiences, the one who blames it in his heart is still his Taifu.
He can cover up his wounds without hesitation, and use a complete and beautiful human skin to cover the truth that is riddled with holes and dripping blood.
The car drove into Dongyun Lane, and Jian Xichen opened the iron gate with the remote control.
As soon as he entered the room, Tang Duo yelled loudly. He kicked off two expensive high-end handmade leather shoes in the hallway, and turned into the open kitchen in a familiar way. Without looking at anyone, he raised his voice: "Go and wash your face first, and I'll make you dinner. At this point, you must be snoring at the high-speed rail station. Oh, no, your appetite can't be a super big bucket."
Tang Duo found a pack of dried noodles from the cupboard, and looked at the date: "Sure enough, I bought it before."
Shen Nian changed into a pair of pure cotton slippers, and lazily passed the kitchen: "I just ate noodles."
"Is your instant noodles comparable to my handmade, finely cooked and seasoned love noodles?" Tang Duo turned on the faucet, poured water into the pot, and the water rushed into the stainless steel pot, "Don't stick here, Go wash up and change clothes."
Shen Nian said "Oh", and went upstairs with tired steps.
Tang Duo was heard shouting again: "Where is Little Jane! Have you finished parking?"
After Jian Xichen parked the car, she stepped into the gate with Shen Nian's suitcase.
While cooking the noodles, Tang Duo kept staring at the two of them, he was so busy: "Go up and stare at Shen Nian, in case he gets distracted and drowns himself."
Jian Xichen bent down and put the suitcase by the wall. Hearing this sentence, she didn't straighten up for a second: "Mr. Tang, what did you say?"
"Oh, you don't know, once he heard that Jiang Danian was in prison, and in order to watch a play he wrote, he had a fight with his inmates. He was disgusted, and he forgot to turn on the floor heating that night, almost freezing himself Die." Wearing an apron and holding a pair of chopsticks for cooking noodles, Tang Duo stuck his head out of the kitchen, looking carefree, but quite homely.
Tang Duo waved his chopsticks upwards repeatedly: "Go and have a look."
The door of the bathroom was ajar, and a cool gleam leaked through the crack of the door, with a bit of moisture, dripping out of the crack of the door wetly.
Jian Xichen slowed down, but paused when she raised her hand on the door.Shen Nian usually writes a word, the door must be closed tightly when going to the toilet, and the door should not be closed when taking a shower.
Could it be?Really want to drown yourself?
So have nothing to fear?
Jian Xichen thought carefully for a while between breaking in directly and knocking on the door.He withdrew his hand and shouted at the door: "Shen Qing."
There was a buzzing sound from the water flowing inside, but no one answered.
Jian Xichen leaned back against the door frame and smiled: "Mr. Tang is worried that you are drowning. If you don't speak again, I will come in."
Not long after, the sound of water flowing in the bathroom seemed to get quieter and gradually stopped.
Immediately afterwards, Jian Xichen felt the door panel behind him loosen, and a bright light came from behind.
Jian Xichen turned her head and saw Shen Nian wrapped in a white bathrobe, wiping her hair with a towel in one hand, the dripping water dripped down her cheeks, followed her white and tight neckline, flowed into her collarbone, and disappeared behind the bathrobe. strict collar.
After being soaked in hot water, Shen Nian's skin was light pink, tender and smooth, and he couldn't tell his real age at all. He was clearly in his thirties, but he looked like a thin, elegant, and youthful young man. elder brother.
It's just that the little brother's temper is not very good: "Why, are you afraid that I will drown myself?"
"It's not drowning." Jian Xichen moved out of the way lightly and skillfully, and said absent-mindedly, "I'm worried that you will strangle yourself to death."
Shen Nian stopped abruptly, her hands trembled, and the towel slipped off her head, and Jian Xichen quickly caught it.
Shen Nian seemed to have been cast with a fixing spell, unable to refuse the towel in Jian Xichen's hand, and gently caressed his neck. There were very faint red marks left by a few fingers on his neck.
Jian Xichen said softly, "Why is there a red mark on the neck?"
because……
Just now, when Shen Nian closed his eyes when he went upstairs, he saw Jiang Danian's disgusting face, grimacing, and tore off a piece of black tape to seal Shen Nian's mouth and nose.
He couldn't even open his mouth to breathe, and the little oxygen left in his chest was almost exhausted.
He rushed into the bathroom without even being able to close the door. He leaned against the cold tiles with his back, and then slowly slid down, his palms strangling his throat fiercely, gasping for breath like a drowning man.
He was suffocating.
Jian Xichen's fingers happened to wipe on the few finger marks that were no longer so obvious.
"What red seal, what drowning, don't listen to old Tang's nonsense." Shen Nian slapped Jian Xichen's hand away, and walked towards the door as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Tang Duo's voice blew up from downstairs in time: "If you're not drowned, hurry down and eat noodles, it's going to be mushy."
Then there was another voice, "Master, call, I'll go to the company first, you hurry down."
"Okay, you go first." Shen Nian replied at the stairs.
I heard the door downstairs opening and closing.
Shen Nian walked downstairs on the soft drag, he was eager to get out of Jian Xichen's sight, and his steps were a bit hasty.
For a moment, a layer of trembling hair stood up on his back, and he felt that Jian Xichen's eyes behind him were about to look into his bone marrow, nailing the wound that he had hidden so well.
This silent sense of peeping is even more terrifying than Tang Duo.
The water-stained plastic soles suddenly rubbed hard on the teak floor.
He only heard a "click" from his right ankle, twisted heavily, and the ankle joint stepped straight on the floor, and a heart-piercing pain suddenly rushed to the top of his head.
Shen Nian couldn't stand upright and was about to fall down the stairs.
In the next second, the world suddenly spun before his eyes.
