Chapter 17
Chapter 17
"Dad, it's almost dawn."
Gu Zhiming knelt on the head of the bed, holding Gu Jian's hand, with his face pressed against his hand.The curtains in the bedroom were opened, and you could see the distant tall buildings outside the house, and the sky was dim before dawn.
Gu Jian's mouth was covered with black tape, and his ankles were also wrapped together with tape.One hand is hung high by a rope, and the other end is connected to a chandelier.
He struggled.
There is a simple single bed in the caravan, and Ji Chongzhou is lying on it. He doesn't need to play Gu Jian too seriously, he just needs to carefully observe how Zhou Jiayao plays Gu Zhiming.
Zhou Jiayao's face was pressed against his palm, his face changed from left to right, his pupils were as black as an abyss, and he stared at Ji Chongzhou without blinking, his eyes were too focused, almost weird and creepy.
"Father," Zhou Jiayao wiped Ji Chongzhou's palm with his four fingers, with a lot of strength, but his movements were very slow, like torture, "Your hands are sweating, it's so cold. I'll warm it up for you."
He held Ji Chongzhou's hand tightly, sat up slightly, and looked serious: "I still remember that when my mother just passed away, you asked me to cook, wash clothes, and make quilts. At that time, you told me a story, a very filial In summer, please fan the mat before asking father to sleep, and in winter warm the quilt before letting father sleep. You tell me, I am the continuation of your blood, without you, without me. You say, I am you An extension of the will..."
Gu Zhiming said: "I want to observe words and demeanor, relieve your worries, and follow your wishes."
Zhou Jiayao had no expression on his face, and his tone was flat.The voice has a strange hoarseness, slightly trembling, which can make people feel restrained.His brows were slightly raised, and the corners of his eyes could hardly restrain the joy from spreading, but he finally restrained it.It seemed that there was only a twitch of the veins on the forehead, and the lips bent for a moment and then recovered.
"Dad, I know that you are not happy. Living is too painful, I know." He lowered his eyelids and frowned slightly, "You sweat a lot...why are you shaking? Dad, don't be afraid."
Gu Zhiming took out a white handkerchief from his pocket.
Zhou Jiayao didn't have a handkerchief, so he just took out a tissue to make do.
He forcefully separated Gu Jian's five fingers, one by one, to wipe off the sweat.
After wiping, he threw the handkerchief aside and continued to hold Ji Chongzhou's hand tightly.That posture is like a filial son in front of a hospital bed, anxiously and piously waiting for his father to wake up.
But his eyes were dark.
Ji Chongzhou realized that it was a very "straight" look.It is a direct gaze with force and concentration, and every turn is like a jump—in short, as soon as you see this person's eyes, you can tell that he is not a normal person.
At this moment, Zhou Jiayao has completely turned into the crazy Gu Zhiming, making Ji Chongzhou feel strange.
Zhou Jiayao sweated on his forehead.He quickly realized, laughed at himself, and said, "Dad, you see, I am your child, and I can never escape your influence. You sweat so much that I sweat too. You So scared, it made me... scared too."
It's not a line from the script.
"By the way, keep talking about observing words and observing emotions."
He took out another handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and smiled at Gu Jian.
"I've been thinking about it for a long time, Dad, I know you hate the world, you feel pain. So you drink, you are violent to me, you have girlfriend after girlfriend... and you don't even let the girlfriend go. It's hard , you met true love and wanted to marry Ms. Su, but Ms. Su ran away... You must be in pain, I know."
A muffled sound of collapse came from Gu Jian's throat, and his breathing became more and more rapid.
"Hush, shush——" Gu Zhiming said, "Listen to me, Dad, at your last moment, I, your son, was by your side. This must be what you expected, after all, I am your only son, I put all your hopes on me, I have never passed the No.2 exam, I was admitted to the best university in this city, I got a scholarship, and I will give you the scholarship... Dad, am I your pride?"
Of course Gu Jian couldn't answer.
Ji Chongzhou was almost shocked to see Zhou Jiayao's eyes turned red when he asked proud words, but there were no tears.
"No matter what the answer is, it doesn't matter." Gu Zhiming emphasized again, "You are too painful, everything you do, hurt me, I forgive you, Dad. Living is too painful, I will relieve you."
Zhou Jiayao let go of Ji Chongzhou's hand, took out a chopstick from the lunch box, and made a grinding gesture on the table.
His movements are calm and his expression is calm.
In the script, what is sharpened is a knife.
Gu Zhiming raised the knife, the sky outside the house lit up little by little, and a dazzling light reflected from the shiny knife surface.
Gu Jian blinked and dodged.
He's completely devastated.
Struggling like a thirsty fish on dry land.
"I'm sorry Dad, I have to use one kind of pain to end another kind of pain."
"But fortunately, after it's over, everything will be over."
In the script, Gu Zhiming raised his knife and slashed at Gu Jian. Outside the script, Zhou Jiayao raised his chopsticks and stabbed it at Ji Chongzhou's neck——
Ji Chongzhou was not Gu Jian, so he was not tied to the bed.
He turned over to face the side of the car wall, curled up, his body broke out in cold sweat in an instant.
That murderous intent was too obvious.
He was afraid.
But the chopsticks did not stick down.
Zhou Jiayao gently put it back on the table, reached out and patted Ji Chongzhou on the shoulder.
Ji Chongzhou trembled slightly, and turned around slowly.
"Chongzhou." Zhou Jiayao smiled and called his name.
Seeing him, Ji Chongzhou's eyes suddenly turned red. He rushed forward and hugged Zhou Jiayao, choked up and said, "You...you were too scary just now, you don't look like you anymore."
"Of course it's not me," Zhou Jiayao patted him on the back, "I'm playing Gu Zhiming."
He spoke lightly, but breathed heavily.
Ji Chongzhou put his arms around his neck, he was still in the aftertaste of being frightened, his palms trembled slightly, and he spread his five fingers, all covered with sweat from Zhou Jiayao's neck.His long black sleeves were drenched with sweat, and water could be wrung out.
"Brother?" Ji Chongzhou wanted to let go of him, only to realize that Zhou Jiayao hugged him tightly, his body trembling more than him, "You sweat a lot, what's wrong with you? I... My name is Jin Yilai, I'm going Is it a hospital?"
"Need not."
"But……"
"It's just mobilizing an unpleasant memory, so this body, it tends to have a little uncontrollable reaction, it will be fine later, I will hug you for a while."
Ji Chongzhou didn't even dare to ask what the unpleasant memory was.
He remembered the last time he came out of the hotel, chatted in the elevator, and when he got in the car, Zhou Jiayao suddenly trembled uncontrollably.
This is not the first time the second time.
Once some things are realized, many details make sense in retrospect.
It happened earlier, but every time this happened, Zhou Jiayao would find excuses to avoid him.Every time this happens, Zhou Jiayao will become more indifferent, he will go out by himself, or ask Ji Chongzhou to go out.
Ji Chongzhou thought he was the one who made him angry several times.
After a while, Zhou Jiayao recovered.
He raised his hand to touch Ji Chongzhou's face, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid of me, Chongzhou."
"I... am not afraid of you," Ji Chongzhou said, "I am afraid of Gu Zhiming!"
Zhou Jiayao laughed twice: "You play Gu Zhiming."
Ji Chongzhou was stunned for a moment, and said, "That's right, I will play Gu Zhiming."
"Come on, show me the show."
They switched places with each other.
The first time Ji Chongzhou acted in fragments, he paid too much attention to Zhou Jiayao's situation, even when he acted in fragments, Zhou Jiayao's reaction became more and more serious.
But even so, Zhou Jiayao could only order almost coldly: "If you act like this, wait for Yin Wenqu to scold you in the afternoon. Come again."
Ji Chongzhou took a deep breath and forced himself to enter the state.
"Father, your hands are sweating..."
"Chongzhou, hold my hand tightly, feel, feel the feeling of sweat."
"Shh, shhh—listen to me, Daddy, in your last moments..."
"Chongzhou, be firm, have confidence, and watch me!"
"You must be in pain, I know."
"Chongzhou, watch me say this!"
"...you are in too much pain, everything you do, things that hurt me, I forgive you..."
"Chongzhou! Eyes! Keep an eye on me! Don't drift away!"
Ji Chongzhou was about to shake off his hand, but Zhou Jiayao quickly held it back.
"Brother," he paused, without earning any money, he just said, "I will definitely be able to perform well this afternoon, but not now."
"Why?" Zhou Jiayao asked calmly.
Ji Chongzhou glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "It seems like it's torturing you now."
Zhou Jiayao was silent for a moment, then said, "I see."
He let go of Ji Chongzhou, got up from the bed, opened the door of the RV and went out.Before closing the door, he turned around and said to Ji Chongzhou: "Practice your Ci for a while, and I'll go smoke a cigarette."
See, that's it.
That's how it used to be.
There will be countless excuses - although Ji Chongzhou didn't realize until now that those were all excuses, smoking, phone calls, messages, or something else.
Use these excuses to get out of Ji Chongzhou's sight, or let Ji Chongzhou out of his sight.
Zhou Jiayao didn't wait for an answer, so he didn't wait any longer, closed the door and left.
Ji Chongzhou sat quietly on the spot for a while.
He got up and chased out.
The midday sun outside the car was blazing like flames.
Zhou Jiayao squatted and smoked in a small shadow covered by the RV, and Ji Chongzhou ran over to squat with him.
He took lemon candy from his pocket and gave it to him: "Stop smoking, don't you want to quit smoking, eat candy."
Zhou Jiayao took the candy and only held it in his hand.
Ji Chongzhou looked at him, leaned over, and got very close: "If you must smoke, I will smoke too. I will share the nicotine and tar for you."
Zhou Jiayao glanced at him, snorted, and really passed the cigarette over.
Ji Chongzhou sucked his hand.
Zhou Jiayao took it back and took a sip by himself.
Ji Chongzhou opened his mouth slightly, blinking his eyes and waiting.
Zhou Jiayao looked at him, threw the cigarette under his feet and crushed it: "It's over, let it die."
Ji Chongzhou looked at the cigarette that was less than one-third burned, and said: "Where is the end of life, it is simply an untimely death."
Zhou Jiayao peeled off the lemon candy and put it in his mouth.
He said: "It goes back to the end of life, and people die young. Smoking is harmful to health, do you know that?"
Ji Chongzhou said: "Elementary school students know it."
"So don't come over next time."
"If you don't smoke, I don't have to make up."
"Well, I don't smoke.
