Chapter 1273 Sleepwalking
He Tian looked at Li Jinxing who was standing in front of him blankly with his eyes open. He was right in front of him, but he acted as if he couldn't see him. He didn't react at all, not feeling the cold or the pain.
I don’t know whether a sleepwalker hitting someone constitutes a crime.
It was strange to see someone sleepwalking around, but at this moment... the shock far outweighed the strangeness. He Tian still didn't dare to make a sound. He waved his hand, and seeing that Li Jinxing really had no reaction, he stood up and stood aside. Li Jinxing went straight back to the house as if nothing had happened.
He Tian hurried over, closed the door gently, and returned to Li Jinxing's bedroom with him. He watched him carefully take out two stones and place them next to the pillow, then climb onto the bed all dirty, and even covered himself with the quilt.
He covered himself with the quilt and closed his eyes, as if he was not the one digging the hole downstairs just now.
As far as He Tian knew, this kind of thing had never happened before. Li Jinxing, who had always been rational, would never allow himself to be in such an embarrassing and uncontrollable situation.
…
His sleepwalking is like being possessed by a ghost. Seeing him in the middle of the night is so eerie.
After He Tian watched Li Jinxing lie down, he slowly walked to the head of the bed and stared at him.
Li Jinxing was very alert. In the past, he would have woken up long ago if someone had stood at his bedside for so long. But today, he still had his eyes tightly closed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was having a sweet dream.
His gaze slowly shifted from his face to the edge of the pillow, and the two stones rubbing against his hair. In the dream, Li Jinxing would not pick up any stones. He simply took these two things home as a ring and a watch.
There were bloodstains on both stones, and He Tian didn't know what to do for a moment.
Li Jinxing will definitely ask when he wakes up tomorrow, and he will have no choice but to answer honestly about everything he saw tonight.
But will Li Jinxing ask about the ring and watch that suddenly disappeared?
He Tian walked to the window and looked at the mess outside. He could also pretend that nothing had happened and restore the land outside to its original state.
These can be restored to their original state, but what about the injuries on Li Jinxing's body?
Finally, He Tian sighed and accepted his fate. He sighed and said to himself, "Forget it..."
The more you cover up, the more mistakes you make.
He Tian returned to his room. The dark night was very quiet, and the slightest sound outside became a kind of noise in his ears.
He Tian was uneasy.
Li Jinxing will know about Gu Wanqiu's death sooner or later, but he must never know that Gu Wanqiu died because of him.
This is a dead end. He Tian decided to have a good discussion with Zhou Yi. The first thing he had to think about now was how to face Li Jinxing tomorrow morning.
Li Jinxing's current appearance is even more terrifying than before. He was crazy before, and now he is soul-destroying, as if he has lost half his life.
Going crazy is crazy, but at least Li Jinxing still has the rationality to control himself. But like tonight... How can Li Jinxing control himself? People who are out of control will make those around them tremble with fear. It's like a mentally ill person slashing people with a knife on the street. You can only say that he is sick but you can't say that he committed a crime intentionally.
He Tian didn't sleep all night. The scenes he saw tonight were too stimulating to his nerves. He couldn't sort out his emotions at all. He Tian found the surveillance video outside, quickly recorded a screen, and then forwarded the video to Zhou Yi without saying anything.
This kind of anxious and difficult thing certainly needs someone to share it with him.
The video without a single word can better illustrate how he feels now.
It’s a pity that Zhou Yi has already fallen asleep at this time, so he still has to rely on himself to slowly consume it.
At dawn, He Tian heard some noise outside, and his groggy brain was suddenly awakened, as if he was sleeping in a warm bed in the middle of winter, but someone lifted the quilt and poured a bucket of ice water on him, making him feel cold all over.
He Tian went out without even putting on his clothes. He first looked out the window, afraid that the scene from last night would happen again.
Fortunately, there was no one outside. The noise was made by the servant who had just got up to work.
He Tian breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't lie back on the bed, so he simply went back to his room, changed his clothes, and squatted at Li Jinxing's door, looking at the time.
Li Jinxing would get up before seven o'clock, and no later than seven-thirty. Now it was almost seven o'clock, and he just had to wait outside to wait for Li Jinxing.
Sure enough, it was just seven o'clock and Li Jinxing didn't need an alarm clock.
The room was soundproof, so He Tian opened the door a crack. After hearing the noise coming from inside, he did not push the door open immediately, but stood at the door and peeked inside through the crack.
A gasp came from inside, as if it was a subconscious sound because he couldn't bear the pain. Then there was a rustling sound. Although he couldn't see it, he could tell from the sound that Li Jinxing had gotten up and was probably staring at his hands in confusion.
He Tian knocked on the door.
"who?"
He Tian: "Boss, can I come in?"
"Come in."
He Tian pushed the door open and saw that the scene was exactly as he had imagined. Li Jinxing was wiping his hands clean of mud and blood.
His nails were cracked, and just looking at the blood between his nails made He Tian feel pain.
I haven't changed my clothes yet, especially my pants, which feel like they've been rolled in a quagmire.
Li Jinxing looked up at He Tian, and He Tian looked away, having decided to pretend that he had not seen what happened last night.
He looked at Li Jinxing's hand in surprise: "Boss, what's wrong with your hand? What happened to your body?"
Li Jinxing frowned tightly, his beautiful eyes were misty, as if he was stuck in an unsolvable problem.
Li Jinxing replied: "I didn't notice it, maybe it was accidental."
It seems that sleepwalkers are indeed unaware of their sleepwalking after waking up.
Li Jinxing is not stupid. He couldn't explain what happened to him. He had no idea what had happened. When he woke up from a sleep, he was not only dirty but also covered in wounds.
Since Li Jinxing didn't pursue the matter, He Tian naturally wouldn't ask either.
People who sleepwalk for the first time generally will not admit that they are sleepwalking, especially people with strong self-esteem like Li Jinxing, who would think it is embarrassing, so he would not show anything in front of He Tian.
"What do you want from me?"
He Tian had already thought of an excuse before coming in and said a few words about work.
"You can handle it yourself."
"Okay." He Tian responded and went out.
Li Jinxing was alone in the room. This time he stopped rubbing his hands and noticed the two stones beside the pillow. He held them in his palms. The uneven texture of the stones made them prickly when he held them tightly. He loosened his grip and tried to recall everything that happened last night, but no matter how hard he gritted his teeth and racked his brains, he couldn't remember anything.
Li Jinxing was unwilling to face it, but there were some things he had to see for himself.
He had a rough guess in his mind, but when he checked the surveillance video, he was still stunned by what he had done in his sleepwalking last night, and he couldn't believe it.
These two stones were definitely not what he was looking for.
Li Jinxing was upset and irritable, unwilling to admit that he still couldn't let go of Gu Wanqiu. He even wanted to find the two things he had lost at this time.
This had never happened before, and Li Jinxing was very angry about not being able to control his body.
He cleaned up everything. His fingertips were badly injured, especially when they touched cold water and he tried to pick out the dirt between his fingers and wash them clean. The pain made his scalp numb.
He endured the pain and rubbed his fingertips clean bit by bit, almost as a means of self-punishment. The nails of all ten fingers were worn flat, and some nails were even turned out. Now after washing, his fingertips were hot, red and bleeding.
The wash basin was full of hands. Li Jinxing put his hands in the cold water and watched the blood flowing out from between his fingers and flow along with the water, from deep to shallow.
Water spilled cannot be collected, and blood spilled cannot be taken back.
Li Jinxing didn't want to make a fool of himself again. Sleepwalking is a disease and needs to be treated.
But he didn't want to see a doctor, and he didn't know if the disease could be cured naturally, and he didn't know how many times it would happen.
The injury on Li Jinxing's finger was seen by others, but although they were surprised, no one asked any questions.
He Tian also asked someone to fill up the hole dug outside.
At night, Li Jinxing was worried and locked the door.
He Tian, who slept on the same floor, was also worried. He took a nap during the day, but couldn't fall asleep at night. He always felt uneasy even with his eyes closed.
It was the middle of the night again, and that familiar noise came.
It’s still the same land, the same pit, the same person and the same posture.
Li Jinxing started digging in the soil to look for something again. The finger that had been bandaged during the day broke after a few strokes. He Tian walked over and saw the blood on his finger.
Do sleepwalkers feel no pain?
With the experience of last night, He Tian was not surprised today. He even got used to it quickly and became very familiar with it.
Li Jinxing dug the pit for nearly half an hour. After he was dirty and sweating profusely, he dug out two stones from the pile of earth. He wiped them like treasures, but he didn't wipe them very clean. He held the two stones and went upstairs to the room, and placed them next to the pillow as usual.
Everything is just like entering the same cycle as yesterday, with almost no changes.
When Li Jinxing woke up in the morning, he still stared at his body in a daze. This time, his hands were even more injured, even the knuckles were cracked and the palms were uneven.
Li Jinxing looked at the four stones piled on the pillow and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Gu Wanqiu, how long are you going to torture me?"
Even though this person has left, his influence on him has not diminished at all, but has become even deeper.
Even if he locked the door, he could still get out. Unless he left here, or found those two things, he might not sleepwalk again.
But Li Jinxing was unwilling to give up.
Li Jinxing simply asked someone to plant flowers on the land below.
He thought that with the flowers, he would not sleepwalk for the time being, but he did not expect that he would sleepwalk again at night. This time he plucked all the roses he had just planted, leaving his face and neck covered with wounds.
He Tian couldn't sleep every night because of the noise here, so he simply advised Li Jinxing: "Boss, you should go see a doctor or leave here first."
"Why should I leave my own territory because of her?" Li Jinxing was full of energy at night, but during the day, he became gloomy and irritable.
Everyone in the company who came into contact with him was terrified and cautious, because his uncontrollable expression made the entire group panic. They dared not even breathe, and when they met him, they lowered their heads or took a detour to avoid him, for fear of making Li Jinxing unhappy.
Li Jinxing was also angry at He Tian and Zhou Yi.
Truth will come to light sooner or later. Li Jinxing was in a depressed mood and really began to wonder if he could find the ring and watch he threw outside.
The chances of finding it might have been quite high in the past, but recently, that piece of land has been renovated by him and flowers have been planted, so I'm afraid that he has already buried it somewhere.
Once he realized that he might never find those two things in his lifetime, Li Jinxing suddenly felt empty in his heart, and the sense of loss came back.
After five consecutive days of sleepwalking, Li Jinxing did not dream of Gu Wanqiu again, but whenever he had free time, Li Jinxing would involuntarily start to recall Gu Wanqiu vomiting blood in the dream, and his heart ached, and it seemed that he was no better than he was now.
Li Jinxing completely threw Gu Wanqiu out of his habit and simply found Jiang Yun again.
He Tian was puzzled. Why didn't Li Jinxing go to the hospital to see a doctor when he suffered from sleepwalking, but brought Jiang Yun here?
What is going on in Li Jinxing's mind is something that ordinary people cannot understand.
He Tian could only keep a close eye on Jiang Yun just in case.
Perhaps he really was judging others by his own standards. Jiang Yun really didn't cause any trouble. She was polite to everyone and behaved very generously. When she returned to Qiule Manor, she brought small gifts for everyone. She had only been here a few times, but she had already regarded herself as the hostess here.
He Tian also received the gift from her. He looked at the cufflinks in his hand and casually threw them into the trash can.
He currently couldn't see anything wrong with Jiang Yun.
She performed very well and no fault could be found in her, but the more she did so, the more suspicious He Tian became of her and the more wary he became of her.
He Tian would show his displeasure on his face, and in front of Jiang Yun, he threw the cufflinks she gave him into the trash can.
Jiang Yun looked at him from a distance, slightly stunned for a moment. After a while, she smiled, as if she didn't care.
This woman is not simple.
If it were someone else, they would have been unable to hold it in long ago, but Jiang Yun could still act as if nothing had happened.
He Tian finally understood why he was unhappy with Jiang Yun.
She had the face of Gu Wanqiu from the past. Apart from her looks, her tone of voice and her habits were somewhat similar to Gu Wanqiu. However, she could not imitate the arrogance that Gu Wanqiu once exuded from the inside out.
In He Tian's eyes, Jiang Yun's various performances were all poor acting skills, but Li Jinxing couldn't see it.
Or maybe he saw it, but he just didn't care. The purpose of his doing this now was just to use this person to forget Gu Wanqiu.
Jiang Yun acted very close to Li Jinxing, and Li Jinxing was not averse to her closeness.
Gradually, more and more people spread the news that Jiang Yun was Mrs. Li. Jiang Yun had a very high reputation here. Even the nanny who had taken care of Gu Wanqiu liked Jiang Yun very much.
