That night
Su Man almost didn't sleep all night, but she was surprisingly energetic.
Before going out in the morning, I still have the mood to take a shower and put on makeup, and blow-dry my hair against the roots to make it fluffy.
She went home and took the red floral dress that the man had given her and put it on.
I have to say, this dress really suits her.
Her skin is as white as jade, and her black hair that has never been permed or dyed makes her so beautiful that it seems unreal.
Duan Bai took out his cell phone, but still had no news.
She called Lao Zhou in the morning, and Lao Zhou said that Duan Bai had taken a leave of absence and did not return to his place at night.
Duan Bai seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and no one could find him.
No wonder Ning Mu asked her to bring Duan Bai to find him. It must be that he couldn’t find Duan Bai either.
Su Man looked around and her eyes stopped on the mirror.
Ever since she was kidnapped, several houses around her have been sealed off, so theoretically no one would be there.
-
"I know you can hear me." Su Man said to the air.
She was answered by silence.
Suman took out the blade he had prepared in advance.
The sharp tip of the knife slowly fitted the slender white wrist, and a line of blood appeared on the wrist.
Yes, she was gambling.
She was betting that Duan Bai must be secretly spying on her, and then he would appear when he saw this scene.
“Tick, tick.”
As the clock moves, so does life.
At one moment, Su Man could even feel her vitality slipping away. Her body turned cold and her vision gradually turned black.
The blood slowly spread in the water.
Faintly, she heard a noise coming from the bedroom.
Su Man smiled and closed her eyes with peace of mind.
...
When I woke up again, everything around me was white.
Looking at the window sealed with iron bars, she knew that this was not a hospital.
After sorting out her thoughts, Su Man slowly said, "Where is this?"
Hearing her voice, the man with his back to her slowly turned his head.
It’s Duan Bai.
He didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly.
"Should I call you Duan Bai, or Xiao Shan?"
Hearing her question, Duan Bai looked confused, "Who is Xiaoshan?"
There really wasn't a single flaw in that look.
Su Man didn't argue with him. Instead, she followed his words and said slowly, "Xiao Shan is a poor child. He was abandoned by his parents when he was young. He was bullied in the orphanage. His personality is also quieter and more withdrawn than ordinary people."
As she spoke, she stared at Duan Bai, not missing any subtle reaction.
She had this guess when she heard Xiaoshan's behavior that day. If she were an ordinary child, she would not be like Xiaoshan, who only likes to talk to small animals.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, although Duan Bai's expression did not change, there was a strange flash in his eyes.
Su Man had a clue in her mind and continued the story, "In that orphanage, he watched the children being adopted one by one. He was very envious, but he was also very scared. After arriving at the new home, he didn't dare to talk much and could only make friends with the little animals."
“…”
Duan Bai lowered his eyes, his face calm, but his eyelids trembled slightly.
"He thought he could be like an ordinary child, with a father and a mother. But accidentally, he discovered that his adoptive mother was cheating on him..."
Hearing this, Duan Bai buttoned up the seam of his trousers, pressing so hard that his fingertips turned white.
This is what Suman thought when she saw the box of dead animals.
According to the foster mother, those little animals were abused to death by Xiaoshan.
But Suman did not see any wounds on their bodies. Instead, the mouse had a stiff body, as if it had been poisoned to death.
Why did Xiaoshan's adoptive mother lie? There is only one answer: she wanted to drive Xiaoshan away.
Considering that she was later caught cheating by Xiaoshan's adoptive father, she drove Xiaoshan away not necessarily because of Xiaoshan's weirdness, but because she was afraid that Xiaoshan would complain.
So she exaggerated the situation and described Xiaoshan, who was just a loner, as a dangerous person with strange behavior, just to let everyone know that Xiaoshan could not be trusted.
-
Su Man continued, "Grievances and pain accumulated over time, slowly turning into malice. At this time, you met him, the person who changed your life..."
"Stop talking."
Duan Bai's voice seemed different from usual.
In the past, Duan Bai's voice was clean and clear, but now his voice has a hint of hoarseness.
But Su Man had a hunch that this was his original voice.
Seeing the cracks in his disguise, she continued, "He told you that in another city, there was another you. That you, since birth, had lived a life that you could never live no matter how hard you tried. He told you that as long as you became him, you could have everything you wanted, including love."
"Stop it, stop it."
Duan Bai's expression became increasingly painful. He held his head in his hands and murmured, "I'm not Xiaoshan, I'm Duan Bai. I'm not Xiaoshan, I'm Duan Bai..."
It seems like you are convincing others, but it seems more like you are deceiving yourself.
But no matter how many times he said it, he couldn't dispel the memories that kept coming back to him...
-
A feeling of suffocation came over me.
"Is the water here delicious? Hahahaha."
A group of children pushed a thin boy into a sewage pool.
Although he tried hard to hold his breath, the smelly water was still inhaled into his mouth through his nose.
The pungent and foul smell choked his trachea, forcing him to open his mouth and cough frantically.
With every breath, more sewage pours in...
