In the gymnasium of Huzhou University, where the wind rains and blows, the rows of improvised student stalls boil.
This was one of the least crowded areas for the garden party, but since it was raining outside, the outdoor program was not possible, so a large number of students who attended the event gathered here.
"Here is the confession mailbox, huh."
"So this is where it is, I have been looking for it for a long time and I have finally found it."
A group of schoolgirls gather smiling around the capsule mailbox and rush to write the name of the recipient on a confession letter and enter it.
It is a special mailbox for the shy, which avoids the embarrassment of sending love letters to people in person, and is very popular with students at all the garden parties of the University of Shanghai.
Xie Xue sat in a corner, sipping hot milk as he finished writing a letter, put it on the white envelope, examined it carefully, and then wrote a stroke at a time the name of the boy she was in love with.
With a smile of satisfaction, the girl got up and went to the mailbox and was about to leave her letter of confession when, suddenly, a drop of blood fell and dripped on the envelope.
Xie Xue was surprised.
"Hey, young lady, you have a nosebleed... "
The person next to him saw him and immediately took handkerchiefs out of his bag: "Come on, clean it."
Xie Xue bowed her head up and covered her nose with her handkerchief, "Thank you, thank you."
How could he have been so unfortunate that his nose suddenly bled?
It's been a long time since his nose bleed, and on second thought, it was something that hasn't happened to him since childhood.
"This letter from you. How about I change it?"
"Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing! It's something I scribbled! I wrote it for fun. It's not important! It's not important." Xie Xue feared that people would see the name of the envelope and laugh at it, so he threw the blood-stained envelope into the trash frantically and fled without looking back, covering his nose.
The student of the confession mailbox then realized: "Hey? That seemed to be Professor Xie...
Xie Xue ran away and tried to call his brother to ask him what was the reason for the sudden nosebleed.
However, after calling for a long time, the answer was: "Hello, the user you have called is offline, please try again later."
Xie Xue: "......."
Could it be that his brother had already returned to his bedroom to sleep?
Xie Xue never expected his older brother not to have slept at all. She even got trapped on the island for several hours because she became a nine-tailed fox doll instead of herself. And He Yu was finally caught on the spot by her older brother.
Now, the two men were standing by the water's edge, both with their hands in their pants pockets, their faces and eyes quite cold, just looking at each other.
Xie Qingcheng was waiting for He Yu's explanation
"The reflection of the moon in the water," He Yu finally said in the calmest way. "The moon is very beautiful tonight, do you understand what it means?"
"Speak clearly."
"I also think you're handsome and I want to go out with you."
"You have to give a little fucking face."
Xie Qingcheng dropped the ash from her cigarette, "I'm not kidding with you"
He Yu stopped smiling little by little, probably because he knew that he could not convince him to let him pass, so he finally removed his frivolous facade and his eyes became dark: ".... Since you've heard everything, what else do I have to explain?"
When he found Xie Qingcheng's cold and sharp eyes, he stopped for a moment, sighed and finally said it.
"Okay. I have someone I like, and I was going to confess to her, but she didn't come. Do you understand?"
Xie Qingcheng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't feel what for a while.
His attention was diverted by the fact that He Yu had a girl he liked.
"From your school?"
He said.
"Who?"
He Yu laughed: "What does that have to do with you?"
Xie Qingcheng straightened his long legs and slowly approached He Yu. The floor where he stood was high, so although he was not as tall as He Yu, at this time, he was still looking at him from above, and his peach flower eyes seemed to have a layer of moonlight.
"Hey, do you know what disease you have?"
He Yu said softly: "Mental Ebola."
"Then you are not cured and what you were looking for is not under control"
He Yu was silent for a moment.
It was as if I had expected Xie Qingcheng to have such a reaction.
He was silent for a moment.
He looked back and said quietly: "Have you not said it once? That he should build bridges with people and society again. You encouraged me to get along with people. You encouraged me to get along with others, to find friendship, to find affection, to find love. And you said before that you would never have a relationship, that you would always be a child."
"I was just angry." Xie Qingcheng's eyes were sharp
"You are so intelligent that you can discern what is true and what is false"
"Thank you for your kindness." He Yu said, "I'm only nineteen years old, I'm not as intelligent as you think."
Xie Qingcheng seemed serious: You have a big heart and I congratulate you.
Do you know how many people are depressed because they have broken up with their love? Normal people can go crazy about love, and turn it into a matter of life and death. What you need is a calm and serene mind, when all the indicators are normal you can find whoever you want, it has nothing to do with me, I don't even bother to ask a single question."
He Yu thought of Xie Xue's smiling face.
It was funny, Xie Qingcheng did not know that the person he liked was Xie Xue, he did not know that he was already reacting like this, if he had known that the person he was planning to catch on the island today was his own sister, he would have slapped him hard in the face.
Xie Qingcheng: "Over the years, have you been able to fully control your emotions? If you haven't, who are you to talk about tastes? "
He Yu's dark eyes looked at Xie Qingcheng's: "Since I made this decision, I think I can control myself."
"You're too conceited."
"Conceited?" He Yu repeated, asking softly: "Dr. Xie, have I hurt anyone in the last nineteen years?"
"......."
"...... I only like one person."
"......."
"I can't have that kind of relationship, can I?"
Xie Qingcheng: "You have no idea how this disease will manifest later, and you are a patient with a mutation in the blood"
"Professor Xie." He Yu quietly interrupted Xie Qingcheng
"You are no longer my personal doctor, I
I know that you feel lonely in your middle age and that it is difficult for you to sleep, so it is normal that you like to get involved in the affairs of young people. But I don't think this matter of mine has much to do with you."
Xie Qingcheng was somewhat irritated by his tone of voice: "Do you think I'm willing to take care of you? I do it for the sake of your father, and I have been taking care of your illness for seven years. There is nothing wrong with taking care of a dog that I have raised for seven years, not to mention a human being."
He Yu lowered his head and smiled, licking the surface of his teeth with the tip of his tongue: "Oh, what a pity, I'm not a dog you raised."
"......."
"It's late and I don't want to feed the mosquitoes here anymore.
Are you going on board?" He Yu released the iron chain that tied the boat and said to Xie Qingcheng with some sarcasm: "After sitting for so long, does your back hurt? Do you want me to come down to help you?"
The two ended up disagreeing again.
After Xie Qingcheng returned to the bedroom, he took a shower and thought about it.
After thinking about it, although it was a little late, he called He Jiwei.
"It's Dr. Xie. We haven't been in touch in a long time" He Jiwei was very polite with Xie Qingcheng
"I was thinking of calling you, that
What a coincidence."
"Does the man want to talk to me too?" Xie Qingcheng was slightly surprised.
"Yes, I wanted to ask you about Chengkang Mental Hospital"
"....." Xie Qingcheng understood it.
He Jiwei sighed hard: "I have come to know the situation in general in recent days. That boy He Yu is a real nuisance. I heard I was with you when the accident happened."
"Yes"
"The police station man told me that you had been with him that day. Thank you very much for taking care of him."
It seems that He Yu hadn't told He Jiwei the full story.
The situation.
Xie Qingcheng didn't like to be thanked for any reason, so he told He Jiwei the whole story of the Chengkang incident.
Of course, he didn't mention the issue of blood control. He Jiwei
After hearing this, he remained silent for a long time:
"So that's what happened. This child. Oh........."
Xie Qingcheng deliberated a little and said: "Mr. He, you used to be very good to me, so even if you are no longer your employee of the He family, you still paid attention to your condition when you see it. What I want to ask is how has He Yu's condition been over the years?"
"Much better, thanks to you.
Didn't you say that I should be on your own when I reached that stage? At first I was worried, but he's doing quite well. He only needs an injection and medication from time to time when he feels uncomfortable, but nothing else."
"So, are you very dependent on drugs?"
"This..." He Jiwei hesitates and smiled bitterly: "You know, his mother and I are very busy at work, so we can't pay much attention to his medication. What's going on? Does it behave differently?"
"No. ... No. Xie Qingcheng hesitated for a moment and did not want to tell He Jiwei about the intention to fall in love with He Yu, "It's nothing. I was just asking."
"You can always come back if you want," He Jiwei said, "A doctor like you is the perfect supplement for He Yu. I couldn't find a better one."
"You're kidding, Mr. He." Xie Qingchen said, "I have been out of the medical system for so long that my license to practice medicine has expired."
"You were just a student when you got here. Well, it doesn't matter... Since you don't want to, I won't mention it. But Dr. Xie, you and He Yu are close to each other, so when I have time, could you keep an eye on him for me? He seems mature, but he is still young and often gets angry and acts recklessly and impulsively. His mother and I don't really have time to take care of him. Sometimes I worry about him.
"Okay, it's just an effort. After all, he is a patient I have seen for for a long time. "He is also Mr. He's son," Xie said. "That's what needs to be done."
After exchanging compliments, each one saved their line.
Xie Qingcheng lay down on his chair and raised his hand to press his temples: He Yu was a special patient for him, with a complex network of interpersonal relationships.
But, after all, He Yu was too old to listen to even He Jiwei, and there were things he couldn't control.
I could only observe the situation at the moment.
Xie Qingcheng took the guest book he had taken from the secret utopia, pushed the door down the stairs, called a rental car and drove to the police station.
.
"This year's confession capsules are too heavy..."
"How many love letters can there be? "
After the parade, some students were in charge of clearing the area and removing the material, including the huge confession mailbox.
"Hey! Don't step on my foot... Ouch! "
In the frenzy, one of the students fell to the ground and the mailbox fell with him. The poor quality plastic flap broke and the envelopes inside were scattered around the catwalk. With the breath of the night breeze, the scattered cards also ran in all directions as if they had legs.
The students were horrified: "No!
They are letters of confession from boys and girls, and they have not even been given to the person in question. The students quickly removed the mud from the body and chased them as little pigs.
But there were so many cards dragged by the wind that they could not both catch them, so they were screaming for help. The students were very enthusiastic, helping them two by three, and the letters were chased and intercepted from every corner.
He Yu was passing by when he saw such a scene.
As a gentle and modest gentleman in front of the people and as a top ten model in behavior, he certainly helped his older sisters and brothers collect together the "fugitive love letters."
"Thank you! Thank you!" The older sister was busy without raising her head and bowed over and over again.
The sister next to him signaled to him and whispered to him: "It's He Yu!"
"Ah!" The sister screamed, looked up and saw that it was He Yu. His heart jumped 800 miles and stumbled: "Hello, junior"
He Yu gave him a smile, gave him the letters, and continued to help collect them.
There was a card stuck in the bush next to the basketball court. He Yu approached and picked up the white envelope, and dusted it off, but he was stunned for a moment:
The envelope was full of blood stains.
Under the blood stains, you can still see a very elegant writing line.
"For Wei Dongheng"
Wei Dongheng was a fourth grade classmate in the interpretation department of the School of Arts, and an old acquaintance of He Yu.
Their names come to light more often when the wealthy entrepreneurs of Shanghai talk about their young masters. Not for any other reason than the fact that He Yu and Wei Dongheng were similar in every way. Even his birthdays were born in different years but on the same day of the same month. However, the results of his education were very different: he is known in his circle as a well-educated young man, while Wei is known in his circle as an arrogant and extravagant young man.
The Wei family was a military and political family, but perhaps one of the tombs of the ancestors had unfortunately become a nightclub, and every day there were people jumping on the graves, and out of it came a scum like Wei Dongheng.
Since he was a child, Wei Dongheng had caused countless problems for the Wei family with his car racing, missing school and doing his thing with the hooligans, destroying countless money for Wei's family. If it weren't for their big business, they could have been stabbed by this young master a long time ago. It was a real wasp nest. The parents of the circle were furious and said things like: "Look at He Yu! And look at you! What's so good about you? "(1)
While the children of the circle, with watery eyes, answered things like: "Look at Wei Dongheng! And look at your children! What's wrong with me?" The whole University of Huzhou knew that Wei Dongheng was very crazy. The university offered auditions for acting students, but Wei Dongheng didn't even perform. He is studying in the acting department because this is the specialization with the lowest score at the Academy of Art of Shanghai University. To obtain a diploma.
He Yu didn't give him much importance, and he thought to himself:
"I wonder what kind of blind girl would write him a love letter."
He was about to return the envelope when he stopped and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He looked at the envelope again...
For Wei Dongheng, for Wei Dongheng. ....
Then it was frozen.
It's because of the lyrics.
This was a calligraphy that I couldn't confuse.
It was as if he had been hit hard with an invisible and suffocating stick:
It was Xie Xue's lyrics!
"What's up, is there a lost letter?" At that moment, a group of boys finished playing basketball and wiped their sweat off the court, and one of them looked at him casually and saw the card that was in He Yu's hand.
The boys laughed instantly and turned around: "Young Wei, this year you have had another abundant harvest!"
A boy left the stadium, the same height as He Yu, with a frown, silver-dyed hair, five ear piercings, and a frivolous and rogue face.
It was Wei Dongheng himself.
The eyes of Wei Dongheng and He Yu were found.
Wei Dongheng nodded first: "young teacher He."
He Yu returned the greeting, but the words "for Wei Dongheng" continued to appear before his eyes, each of which was familiar to him.
Wei Dongheng originally had no interest in this kind of stupid love letter, but since the letter was in He Yu's hand, he looked at it, and with this look, he saw the blood on the envelope.
Wei Dongheng frowned once: "A threatening letter?"
He Yu was very cold, even the movement of his lips was very slight: "... It seems to be, why didn't he throw it away."
"Love letters don't interest me much, they all go to the trash, I think the young master He can understand this type of behavior of mine very well. However, it is the first time I have received a threatening letter, I will have to look at it again." Wei Dongheng smiled at He Yu and took away the letter: "Thank you."
He Yu responded out of habit with indifference: "You're welcome."
After Wei Dongheng left, it took him a while for He Yu to regain consciousness.
He still couldn't believe what he had seen, it was really a letter of confession written by Xie Xue to Wei Dongheng, and he turned around just in time to see the two girls in charge of managing the mailbox looking at him with his eyes full of emotion, so He Yu returned.
"Excuse me, can I ask for the letter with the blood stain?..."
"Oh, that's from Miss Xie, the great koi"
"Yes, it's hers, maybe her nose is dry in autumn, her nose bled halfway through writing. He cleans with the paper I gave him."
"Good..." After a few moments, He Yu said softly: "Thank you."
That night, He Yu returned to his bedroom, washed and lay down on his bed in silence, and had a night of insomnia.
Xie Xue had also always met Wei Dongheng.
When he was a child, the young teacher of the Wei family came to play at his house and Xie Xue was there, teaming up with himself to attack Wei Dongheng every time. He thought then that Xie Xue hated the boy whose eyes were higher than the sky.
But at that time, none of them realized that if they didn't care much, where would the extra objective of always attacking him come from?
When they were in high school, Xie Xue and Wei Dongheng went to the same school.
Xie Xue was in his second year of high school and Wei Dongheng in the first.
Xie Xue was in his third year of high school and Wei Dongheng in the first.
Later, when Xie Xue graduated, Wei Dongheng was still in his first year of high school.
This guy froze there and became the talk of the circle by repeating the class for three years, but he replied that he had been chosen the best in the class for three consecutive years, and he felt wonderful.
He never complied with the rules. When Xie Xue was at school, she was on duty at the entrance and Wei Dongheng passed in front of her with an indifferent look, trying to break the rules by going out to eat a barbecue during the lunch break. She angrily discouraged him, only to find his ignorance and the boos of a gang of local vandals that followed him.
"Brother Wei, is this our sister-in-law? He's controlling you.
It's so strict that it says you'll lose points if you go out. I'm afraid.
I'm afraid, hahahaha."
"Bon-law, you are very short and your breasts are flat."
"Brother Wei! The girl really wrote you down in the book for breaking the rules. You are a disciplinary case! Why don't you even convince her?"
The group of hooligans whistled and booed.
Xie Xue, who wore the red bracelet of the week, was so angry that her eyes filled with tears.
She screamed angrily on tiptoe on Wei Dongheng's back as he walked away with his bag in one hand: "Wei Dongheng! You're rubbish! You are the most annoying person in the universe!"
If he was the most annoying person in the universe, why did he come to Shanghai University of the Arts after graduating from university?
After graduating from university, why did you come to the Huzhou University School of Art to become a professor?
Why?
He came from a university specialization and had excellent grades, so he could have taken a test for a better paid and more professional position in Yanzhou. But at that time he told He Yu in a WeChat message that he had no confidence, and that he would apply for a less difficult job at Huzhou University.
It's not that He Yu had no doubts at the time.
Xie Xue had always been a very brave person, even more than him. In addition to Xie Qingcheng, I hadn't met anyone else if, how would such a person not even have the confidence to try to apply for a job?
Only now did he finally understand that it was Xie Xue who ran after Wei Dongheng, who had already been admitted to Huzhou University.
And he did not take into account that he had given up the offer of a foreign university to run after it.
...... It was ridiculous.
He Yu kept lying on his bed.
He thought about it in silence and asleep all night, until dawn.
"He Yu, you have a class in the morning, have you already gotten up? Let's have breakfast together. He was urged by his roommate from outside the curtain.
He Yu responded and got up. But the moment he joined, a sudden pang shrugged in his chest and then spread violently to all his limbs.
"....." He raised a hand to rest it on her slightly cold forehead, took the pills from the bed and whispered: "I'm a little unwell, go."
.
He Yu didn't feel well, and Xie Qingcheng wasn't much better tonight either.
When he arrived at the police station, he was already a little disoriented.
I didn't know if there was a cold on the island or what, but Xie Qingcheng felt dizzy all the time, accompanied by a slight ringing in his ears.
He delivered the book with the strange message to the policeman on duty and told him what had happened before and after, and returned. But only when he reached the steps did his feet suddenly weaken.
"Brother Xie?"
He reluctantly turned his head and discovered that it was Chen Man who was helping his colleague carry the information.
"Brother Xie." Chen Man ran quickly towards him, Xie Qingcheng suddenly got dizzy and was held by the waist so that he could get up.
Chen Slow looked at him from top to bottom nervously: "What's wrong with you?"
"I don't know, my head suddenly got dizzy..."
"Your face is also very red, let me see... Oh, why are you so hot!" Chen Man lifted him up slowly, turned his head and shouted at his colleague: "Xiao Zhou, can you help me with my things first? I'll take someone to the infirmary!"
1)-a very difficult situation to solve, where there are many people angry and complaining.
