Chapter 177
Five days have passed since the tower climbing activity ended. During these five days, Xu Heng and his friends rarely saw Yi Tu walking around.
Except for eating at the appointed time, that person would mostly stay in his study, quietly staying alone.
He refused to allow anyone to approach him and didn't want to have any communication at all. He was completely different from his previous calm, cheerful and cheerful self.
Even though everyone could see Yitu's poor condition and was extremely worried, they were really powerless to do anything.
Even Jiang Hanyu, Yi Tu's spouse, was not much better than others.
Men can enter Yitu's study, but they can only stay there for less than five minutes before being asked to leave by their spouses.
Even though Jiang Hanyu is such a strong person, she has no idea what to do when facing her boyfriend who is in a bad mood.
But the only thing that comforted him was that Yi Tu did not really need company. At least every night, he would fall asleep obediently in Jiang Hanyu's arms.
The man was still quiet and would listen to the man quietly. Only when the man talked about something that interested him would he say "hmm" with a raised nasal sound.
Jiang Hanyu found it funny and was reluctant to say a harsh word. How could he possibly help him get out of this state?
Due to the influence of Chen Yan's mental pollution, Yi Tu became neurasthenic after he came out, often having nightmares in the middle of the night, or waking up in pain in his dreams.
As soon as he woke up, Jiang Hanyu woke up too. He coaxed him and wiped his tears, and it took a long time for him to fall asleep again.
After a few times, Yitu felt extremely guilty and insisted on sleeping in separate beds.
The night he made the request, the man's face immediately darkened.
The two looked at each other silently for a long time. Tears were still in Yitu's eyes. He pursed his lips tightly and looked depressed.
It’s not that he became delicate or fragile after what he went through, but that his emotions became unstable and uncontrollable, which led to his frequent tears.
In fact, Yitu didn't want to become like this, vulnerable and ugly.
Neither of them spoke again. Yi Tu knew what he should say. If it were in the past, he would definitely comfort Jiang Hanyu.
Instead of being like now, where we can only remain silent due to mental fatigue and weakness.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Jiang Hanyu rarely said a word. He just moved closer and then moved away.
With Yitu looking stunned and upset, she took the pillow from the bed and turned away without even looking at him.
Jiang Hanyu was really angry. He could tolerate Yi Tu's various evasive behaviors, but he would never allow him to reject the love he gave.
Yitu knew everything, but he still didn't try to persuade her to stay. He just sat on the bed, hugging the quilt and crying quietly.
No matter how unhappy the quarrel between the two was, Jiang Hanyu couldn't really let it go.
He knew that Yitu's current abnormal behavior was only temporary.
Almost all the members of the Demon Fang Team had experienced this, so even he was not surprised.
After Shen Yueshu learned about this situation, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with Jiang Hanyu's care. After all, as someone who had experienced it, he knew too well the feeling of being alone and seeking death.
However, Jiang Hanyu still looked indifferent, frowning and warning him to mind his own business.
Shen Yueshu felt a little disappointed when the man looked at her. If he hadn't known Jiang Hanyu's temperament well, the two of them would have become enemies long ago.
On the seventh day after the tower climbing activity ended, Xu Heng really couldn't stand this depressing environment. He couldn't see Yi Tu and couldn't help much, so he could only drag Ou Cheng into the card room to escape reality.
At noon on the day when the two of them went out to play cards, Shen Yueshu brought back a man from outside.
He was a man with an exceptionally gentle and handsome appearance, wearing a navy blue long coat and a Scottish scarf around his neck. He exuded an air of nobility and reserve from head to toe.
He smiled at Xu Heng, his upturned almond-shaped eyes were particularly charming, but his voice was very gentle:
"Hello, I'm Yueyue's friend, my name is Chu Xiyin."
Chu Xiyin's arrival finally brought some popularity back to the villa which had been quiet for several days.
Yi Tu also rarely came out of the study, stayed with everyone for a while, and even chatted with Chu Xiyin.
Jiang Hanyu was watching the two of them from a distance, his eyes growing darker the more he looked.
Ten minutes later, Yitu ended his conversation with Chu Xiyin and returned to the study alone.
Jiang Hanyu couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward to stop the man.
"What did he say to you?"
Chu Xiyin had a good temper and told the truth.
"Mr. Yi only asked about my skill cards and items, and whether I was willing to join Han Palace. That's all, nothing more."
Jiang Hanyu frowned. "Did he really only ask these questions? Didn't he ask you...about your opinion on that matter?"
Chu Xiyin shook her head, "No."
But he added:
"Mr. Jiang, I know you are very worried about his current condition. Whether you believe me or not, I still have to say this..."
"In the few minutes that Mr. Yi and I spent together, I can guarantee that nothing serious has happened to him. He just needs time."
Hearing this, Jiang Hanyu sneered, "This is your first time meeting him, right? What guarantees do you have?"
Chu Xiyin was not angry. After hesitating for a moment, as if he was really thinking about this question seriously, he said:
"The weak will be trapped in memories by the cruelty of reality, unable to break free, but only the strong..."
"I am carefully planning for a future where I can stand up again."
"Han Palace may not be the best place for me to go, but I have too many reasons to stay. What do you think, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Hanyu looked at him for a long time before she raised the corners of her lips slightly. She did not answer the question, but said:
"You are much stronger than that guy Weizhou, in many aspects... What a pity."
The man left after saying this. Chu Xiyin didn't ask why he said "what a pity". He just lowered his head and smiled.
Things have come to this point, there is nothing to regret, he just hopes that his appearance is not too late.
Chu Xiyin and Weizhou are not the same kind of people. After just a few simple words, Yitu knew it in his heart, and Jiang Hanyu also knew it.
To some extent, Yi Tu and Chu Xiyin are somewhat similar. Both of them have good intentions, but the former has a bit more unnecessary pity, while the latter is very clear about this.
Chu Xiyin's kindness can distinguish right from wrong, and she only gives it to those she cares about, and not to those who are insignificant.
As for Shen Yueshu, he gently chose not to disturb her, to fulfill the friendship between Shen and Wei or something else.
He also had good intentions to comfort Yi Tu and Jiang Hanyu, whom he had just met. However, just a few simple words made Jiang Hanyu completely relieved.
If he could have appeared by Shen Yueshu's side earlier, perhaps there would have been no Weizhou incident after that.
But unfortunately, there is no if.
Yi Tu's mood did not fluctuate much because of Chu Xiyin's arrival.
In fact, there is no other way to deal with his abnormalities except to adjust himself.
In his study, in addition to reading a lot of books to concentrate his attention, he would also play a few games to distract himself from the pain.
However, these methods had little effect, and Yitu spent most of the time in a daze.
It’s called daydreaming, but in fact it’s just replaying everything that happened in the tower climbing game in my mind countless times.
He repeatedly recalled every word Dong Huan said, and thought about the look she gave him when she left, which was full of deep meaning.
Dong Huan did not tell him exactly what the Night King's weakness was, but said that they had the same fate.
These days, Yitu has been going crazy thinking about this problem.
Why was Dong Huan so sure he could guess the Night King's weakness? That's why he said that seemingly plausible thing in the end.
She had known for a long time that she would die, but she was unwilling to accept it and created difficulties for him before she died.
Perhaps it was out of unwillingness or jealousy, but Dong Huan did achieve what he wanted.
Yi Tu had a headache, and what bothered him even more was Jiang Hanyu's cold attitude.
The man was very angry and no longer came to talk to him, nor did he care when he would come out of the study.
There is no warm milk or water bottles to warm your hands. Southern cities do not have floor heating like those in the north, so the winter in the south is so cold that it can penetrate deep into your bones.
Yi Tu was too embarrassed to go to Jiang Hanyu, but the man was originally cold-hearted and didn't give her any way out.
The two of them were in a stalemate, unless late at night, Jiang Hanyu would quietly come to Yi Tu's room and take a silent look.
He knew that Yitu had a bad sleep, so apart from watching him quietly, he didn't even dare to touch him.
Jiang Hanyu did such a good job in this matter that Yi Tu didn't even notice it.
As the days passed, the relationship between the two did not ease. Yi Tu became more and more anxious and self-loathing.
On the morning of January 20th, Jiang Hanyu suddenly left Kanazawa City.
Yitu knew nothing about this, and the others had all been warned by the man not to say anything.
That day, Yitu did not stay alone in the study, but sat in the living room all day, looking in the direction of the gate until night fell.
Xu Heng and Shen Yueshu couldn't stay with him any longer, so they persuaded him into the room and then went back to rest.
Yitu couldn't sleep at all and stayed awake until two in the morning.
Then he got up, dressed, took his cell phone and car keys, and quietly left home.
It was a completely dark night, but Yitu did not feel tired. On the contrary, his mind had never been so clear at this moment.
He wanted to find Jiang Hanyu, although he had never thought about what to say after finding that person.
The car was speeding on the highway, and he was thinking about that person all the time, forgetting all the pain and anxiety for a moment.
When Yitu arrived at the familiar villa area, the security guard was sitting in the pavilion, looking up at him in confusion.
"Hello sir, do you have an access card or someone you know to pick you up?"
Yitu gave him a friendly smile and said, "Can you wait for me for a moment? I'll ask my friend to come out and pick her up."
"OK."
The security guard didn't notice anything unusual, and even Yitu didn't notice any changes in himself.
When Jiang Hanyu's phone rang, he was bandaging Wei Zhou's wound, and the phone was thrown on a table far away.
"Phone." Wei Zhou reminded.
Jiang Hanyu said "hmm", and didn't think that the call was from that guy.
But he still stood up quickly, thinking to himself, what if?
Caller ID: Tubao’s wife.
Jiang Hanyu swiped the answer button, and the man's cold voice came:
"Hanyu, can you come to the door to pick me up?"
For a moment, Jiang Hanyu's mind went blank. By the time he reacted, the person had already rushed out.
Yitu didn't go out, but sat in the car and waved to the man with a faint smile on her face.
In just a moment, all the surging emotions were soothed. Jiang Hanyu walked over, opened the car door and got in.
"Why are you here?" The man's voice was too calm.
Yitu answered his questions while driving.
"I want to see you."
Jiang Hanyu snorted and questioned, "Want to see me? I thought you didn't need anyone."
Yitu fell silent. The man's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was regretting whether he had said something too harsh, he heard his wife's guilty voice:
"I'm sorry I made you worry."
"These past few days, I've been dwelling on a lot of things..."
Yitu parked the car on the side of the road and said softly:
"It's not all about gambling. It also brings back beautiful memories from the past, allowing me to ponder the meaning of life and question the truths I once believed in..."
"Well, have you figured it out?" Jiang Hanyu asked.
Yitu shook his head, "No."
"Because I've discovered that there are too many people and things in this world that are not worth my consideration, not worth wasting my time on."
Hearing this, Jiang Hanyu finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to explain why he wanted to leave, he heard Yi Tu say:
"Han Yu, I want to kill the Night King."
Jiang Hanyu was stunned and turned to look at him, their eyes meeting in mid-air.
Yitu's eyes were so familiar yet strange, filled with paranoia and madness, cold and extremely excited and bloody.
