Chapter 266: The Infatuated Fool

Back home, Lin Du was still eerily calm.

There was no trace of emotion on his face, and he seemed to be wandering in unconsciousness.

When Wen Qing called, Gu Yinchi glanced at Lin Du and turned away.

"say."

"Someone discovered that Jiang Chao had returned to Beichuan." Wen Qing hesitated for a moment and continued, "He probably didn't know that Su Wenlang was in trouble, so he wanted to ask him for money."

Gu Niechi frowned and said in a sinister tone: "Follow him."

After hanging up the phone, Gu smoothed his hair with annoyance and turned around.

He was horrified to find that Lin Du had stood behind him without him noticing: "Lin Du, you..."

"Jiang Chao showed up, right?" Lin Du asked without any emotion.

Gu Yanchi paused for a moment. This kind of Lin Du was too suffocating: "Yes."

"Where exactly is it?" Lin Du asked.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Yanchi held Lin Du's shoulders, "Don't do anything stupid, I will solve it."

"Will he be sentenced to death?" Lin Du frowned and looked at Gu Yinchi.

"Probably... not." Gu Nichi sighed.

Lin Du relaxed his brows and was stunned for a moment, as if he had accepted the final result. He nodded and turned back to the room.

He shook his head helplessly. How could he accept such a result?

Gu Yanchi has been very busy recently and has been receiving calls all the time, but he dare not leave Lin Du for even a step.

Lin Du wiped Gu Xingxing's little house without looking up: "You go and do your work, don't stare at me, I won't do anything stupid, I still have to celebrate Lin Yue's birthday."

Gu Yinchi seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself. He squatted down and remained silent for a long time.

"Lin Du, believe me, I will solve all the problems, just be good, okay?"

Lin Du stopped what he was doing and smiled. He looked at Gu Yanchi with a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Gu Yanchi, am I not good enough?"

"If I had been a little more obedient, my life wouldn't have ended up like this."

Feeling annoyed by the feeling of being blocked, he pursed his lips bitterly.

After Gu Niechi left, Lin Du came to the market. He stood in the knife shop and chose for a long time, and finally chose a dagger that suited him.

With nowhere to go, he came to Chuxu's sanatorium.

At the door, he met Shen Zhichu, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

He looked much more haggard. A man who paid so much attention to appearance and etiquette, he no longer had his former spirit.

"Do you come here often?" Lin Du followed Shen Zhichu's line of sight and looked in the direction of Chu Xu's ward.

Shen Zhichu bit a cigarette, glanced at Lin Du and then put it down silently: "I have nothing to do, so I want to come and see you every day."

Lin Du chuckled and said it so lightly, but the grievance in his eyes was about to overflow.

Besides, there's clearly nothing to see here.

"If you want to get in, I think it should be easy." Lin Du touched the dagger in his pocket.

Shen Zhichu paused and smiled bitterly: "He doesn't want to see me, why should I provoke him..."

Lin Du looked at Shen Zhichu. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether Chu Xu was not crazy or not.

"Don't look at me like that. It makes me feel pitiful." Shen Zhichu said half-jokingly.

Lin Du shook his head: "You are just infatuated. The word "pitiful" may be more appropriate for me."

Shen Zhichu frowned and sighed: "Lin Du, I know that as an outsider I have no say, but as a friend, I still want to say that Gu Yanchi really loves you."

"He may have had a purpose in the past, but this time, his sincerity will definitely stand the test."

"You've been through so much, why can't you just..."

"What about you?" Lin Du interrupted Shen Zhichu, "The love between you and Chu Xu was so pure, but the result was not satisfactory. What does Gu Yanchi and I count for?"

A complicated look flashed across Shen Zhichu's eyes, and Lin Du couldn't untie the knot in his heart.

He now doesn't seem to care whether Gu Linchi's love is true or false, he just doesn't want Gu Linchi's love anymore.

When I arrived at Chu Xu's ward, he was sitting alone on the bed. The book in his hand slipped to the ground, but still did not attract his attention.

Lin Du walked over, picked up the book on the ground and put it in Chu Xu's hand.

Chu Xu came back to his senses and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Lin Du also smiled, and the two of them sat side by side, and there was silence for a while.

"I saw Shen Zhichu. He comes here every day."

Chu Xu closed the book and lowered his eyes: "Fool."

Lin Du patted Chu Xu on the shoulder: "Yes! Infatuated fool."

"Are you planning to hide like this forever?" Lin Du looked at Chu Xu's hard-to-disguise sadness, "You should know Shen Zhichu best. He loves so deeply, how could he give up so easily?"

Chu Xu clenched his fingers unconsciously: "But I can't get out of this. When I see him, I think of my dad and sister lying in front of me covered in blood. It's too scary..."

Lin Du patted Chu Xu's hand and said, "Don't torture yourself. If you want to be freed in this way, I support you unconditionally."

Chu Xu nodded, admitting that he had always been a coward.

If possible, he would never know Shen Zhichu again. In this way, he might not be so unlucky and tortured by himself for so long.

"You've lost weight." Chu Xu frowned distressedly, "You must be very tired..."

Lin Du let out a long breath: "I'm tired. I'm so tired that I don't want to wake up after falling asleep, but I have to wake up."

"Is Lin Yue okay?"

"It's better to die than to live. What's good or bad about it?"

Chu Xu sighed softly: "Life is so tiring, and I don't know why."

Lin Du took Chu Xu's hand and paused: "Chu Xu, you have to take care of yourself. I...I may not be able to come to see you in the future."

Chu Xu was startled and held Lin Du's hand: "What are you going to do?"

Lin Du chuckled: "Do what I want to do."

"Lin Du, you..."

"Chu Xu, I have been a coward all my life. I want to be brave for once. You will support me, right?"

Chu Xu felt depressed. He didn't know what Lin Du was going to do, but he was afraid that he would do something to hurt himself.

"Lin Du, what exactly are you going to do? Tell me so I can give you some advice."

Lin Du shook his head: "No, I have never had any opinions since I was a child. This time, I want to make my own decision."

"I'm worried something might happen to you..."

Lin Du curled his lips and said, "What's the difference between me now and being dead?"

“…”

"Take care, my friend."

"Lin Du, you..."

Hearing the footsteps, Lin Du made a "huh" gesture.

Chu Xu was forced to shut his mouth, but his eyes were full of pleading.

Unable to bear to look at each other, Lin Du's eyes were corroded by tears.

Chu Xu caught a glimpse of the nurse coming in from the corner of his eye, and he forced himself to look away.

Lin Du wiped away his tears and took one last look at Chu Xu. He prayed silently in his heart.

He hoped that Chu Xu would have the best of luck for the rest of his life, and if possible, he hoped that he and Shen Zhichu could get back together.

After all, the relationship between them is really regrettable.

"Goodbye, my friend..."
