Chapter 62
At first, Gu Zhun didn't notice anything different about Lin Yuxin. He still followed Gu Zhun around and called him brother. He also sweated in the training room every day, played and laughed with Gu Zhun, and flirted with Zhong Tianpei when he couldn't see.
This was not Gu Zhun's business, and at some moments, Gu Zhun even felt that he had found something called happiness in the two people.
Maybe it’s the towel or the bottle of water that both parties tacitly hand over after each dance, or maybe it’s the encouragement they give to each other with a smile... These are all small acts of companionship that are visible to the naked eye and within reach.
In fact, this is nothing at all, but it seems to have added a lot of fun to this boring training life.
In Gu Zhun's limited memory, such days did not last too long.
Because when the second pen was given away, some things seemed to change quietly.
Zhong Tianpei's calligraphy is one of the best among these trainees. He often shows off his skills when he is in the mood, as if he is showing off his favorite candy in front of others.
Everyone would compliment him for the sake of face. Gu Zhun would occasionally flatter him, but otherwise he would not say much.
Later one day, Lin Yuxin came to ask Gu Zhun what better pen to give her. Gu Zhun picked out a black one for Lin Yuxin to refer to - in fact, it was just a very ordinary brand and not expensive at all.
But once the pen was given away, people loved it.
Lin Yuxin was also very happy.
Zhong Tianpei often asked Gu Zhun in the dormitory why he recommended that pen to Lin Yuxin.
Gu Zhun was puzzled, but out of politeness he said, "This pen is very useful."
He was not wrong, it was indeed good quality and cheap.
But no one knew what Zhong Tianpei heard. He mumbled to himself for a long time, looked at Gu Zhun grimly, and smiled unusually excitedly.
But sometimes, it is a look of disgust and pain.
Gu Zhun caught this emotion once, and he thought he was dazzled.
Since that inexplicable conversation that day, Zhong Tianpei began to move closer to Gu Zhun intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Zhun didn't like Zhong Tianpei very much in the first place. He keenly sensed that something was wrong and began to gradually distance himself from Zhong Tianpei.
He thought that this could prevent some things from happening, but he didn't expect that Zhong Tianpei, this scumbag, would vent all his anger on Lin Yuxin.
The 15-year-old boy's first sexual experience was so intense that he was covered in bruises. The next day, he couldn't even get out of bed and couldn't even utter a word.
Gu Zhun went to see him, to see that stubborn child, that fool trapped in love.
Gu Zhun persuaded him to leave, leave Zhong Tianpei, leave the show, go back to study, read a lot of books, but Lin Yuxin shook his head, stubbornly believing that this kind of affair with alphabetical tendencies was love.
That was the first time Gu Zhun got so angry.
He smashed everything in the house, including the night light that he had given Lin Yuxin, her favorite.
The night light was shattered into pieces on the ground. After Gu Zhun smashed everything, he finally woke up completely, but he did not regret it.
He was young and energetic at the time, and had just experienced what happened to his sister. His concept of love was even distorted, and he could not treat people with a normal heart at all.
It's like a person who is seriously but not fatally ill is comforting and counseling a person who is in the late stages of cancer but doesn't know it. The two people's high concentrations of negative energy are concentrated together, and the whole world begins to sink.
The little flame lingering between the two of them was about to burst into flames at this moment.
Lin Yuxin looked at Gu Zhun with a pair of bright red eyes, which were full of resentment and sadness. Those were emotions that Gu Zhun could not understand, so he did not ask.
Lin Yuxin shut himself off from the world and from then on he no longer acted as a confused younger brother. He began to distance himself from Gu Zhun, just because of a man.
Gu Zhun didn't understand why his sister had such a quarrel with her family because of a man and eventually lost her life. Now a younger brother he knew also fell out with him because of a man and became estranged from him.
Could it be that he was the one who was wrong?
wrong.
Gu Zhun once tried to negotiate with Lin Yuxin, but it was no use. Lin Yuxin covered his ears and ran away when he saw Gu Zhun.
Although they would still greet each other when they met, Gu Zhun knew very well that there was a huge gap between them.
Gu Zhun chose to take a cold approach first, and wait until the competition was over before discussing the matter with Lin Yuxin.
So during that period, Gu Zhun went out early and came back late every day, studying with his instructor in the training room, and tried his best to make his debut.
He was not often in the dormitory. He would fall asleep immediately after returning home every day and had little communication with Zhong Tianpei. Moreover, because of Lin Yuxin, there were even some sparks between the two.
Gu Zhun clearly remembered that it was during the recording of the ninth episode that Lin Yuxin came to him again. At that time, two whole months had passed since the two of them had not spoken and only nodded in agreement.
Lin Yuxin looked even worse, and after removing her makeup she looked like neither human nor ghost.
Gu Zhun asked him, "Aren't you scared when you look at yourself in the mirror every day? What has this relationship done to you?"
Lin Yuxin sobbed and looked at Gu Zhun without saying a word for a long time.
"What's wrong with you? You don't look very happy. Did Zhong Tianpei bully you?" Gu Zhun asked directly.
As for Lin Yuxin, he knew that all those roundabout ways of thinking would be useless. He was a straightforward person and would not understand complicated words.
Lin Yuxin's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes suddenly turned red, as if tears were welling up in his eyes.
Gu Zhun panicked and asked what was going on.
But Lin Yuxin refused to say anything, even if he died, he would not say anything.
Gu Zhun looked at him, feeling very disappointed in him and also hated himself for not letting these two people know each other in the first place.
But Lin Yuxin said: "That's not the case, brother. Even if you weren't here, we would have met. There's no way around it."
Lin Yuxin spoke with such confidence that after he finished speaking, he left again. This time, it could be said that he disappeared.
Lin Yuxin asked for leave, saying that she wanted to go back to see her parents. She left her WeChat for Gu Zhun, but there was no message for several days.
Gu Zhun instinctively felt that something had happened and questioned Zhong Tianpei, but the other party was nonchalant and didn't say a word of concern.
At that time, the popularity of the talent show was high. Gu Zhun had become a well-known dark horse, and Zhong Tianpei also broke out. They were all preparing for the next competition. Only Lin Yuxin, like when he first arrived, curled up in the corner, looking at the world cautiously with a pair of frightened eyes.
Gu Zhun once brought him out, but he was dragged back again.
The incident happened when Lin Yuxin returned from his hometown.
That day he called Gu Zhun and asked if he could come and pick him up. He had too many things with him, and it would be more convenient for Gu Zhun since he had a car.
But that day, Zhong Tianpei rushed up and said that he and Lin Yuxin had a quarrel and had not spoken to each other for several days, and he wanted to take this opportunity to coax the other party.
Gu Zhun did not agree, but out of politeness, he told Lin Yuxin about this matter.
Lin Yuxin only thought for a minute before deciding to let Zhong Tianpei pick her up. Gu Zhun thought, there really was something awkward going on. He hoped that there would be some changes when he came back this time.
But they didn't. On that day, the two still didn't return to the dormitory. Gu Zhun was dancing that day, but for some unknown reason he couldn't dance well. It seemed as if there was some mysterious force hindering him. But Gu Zhun didn't understand and just let the day pass like that.
The next day, the sleeping Gu Zhun received a call from Lin Yuxin, saying that he was in the hotel and felt uncomfortable in his lower body.
The first person Gu Zhun thought of was Zhong Tianpei. As boyfriends, shouldn’t they be together?
Lin Yuxin said that he got up early and left, and he didn't know where he went.
Gu Zhun put on his clothes and drove to the hotel. When he arrived, the child was lying on the bed, wearing only a bathrobe. There was blood at the corners of his mouth and red marks on his neck.
Gu Zhun was not an old feudal person who knew nothing. He knew that Zhong Tianpei's hobby was serious enough to endanger his lover's life.
Gu Zhun sent Lin Yuxin to the hospital. Zhong Tianpei hurried over and said that he was just going to buy breakfast, but Gu Zhun did not see his breakfast.
Gu Zhun was standing guard at the door of the ward. It was so quiet inside, so quiet that it was scary.
Gu Zhun thought Lin Yuxin would cry and make a fuss, but she was soon discharged from the hospital and left with Zhong Tianpei. She looked at Gu Zhun indifferently, with a dead look in her eyes.
At that moment, Gu Zhun felt the sense of death on a person for the first time.
It emanates from the inside out, without a trace of vitality.
That afternoon, Lin Yuxin encountered trouble in the hotel again, but this time, it was Zhong Tianpei who called.
Gu Zhun felt like he was going crazy as he was tortured by these two people all day long.
But this time, the visual impact is even greater.
That day, Lin Yuxin lay on the white sofa with his face pressed tightly against the milky white pillow. His red eyes were still shedding tears uncontrollably, and his lower body was bleeding uncontrollably.
Gu Zhun was petrified on the spot. He simply couldn't believe what he saw, but Lin Yuxin's crying was so clear and loud in his ears.
Zhong Tianpei stood beside Lin Yuxin, with a pair of black handcuffs of unknown meaning on his hands.
Lin Yuxin's hands were suspended limply in the air, supported only by the handcuffs.
Zhong Tianpei raised his lips and looked at Gu Zhun. His pupils were even darker, and there was some dried blood at the corners of his mouth. He said, "Gu Zhun, you are finally here."
Afterwards, he picked up Lin Yuxin and said some incoherent words as if to coax a child. Because his voice was too soft, Gu Zhun could not hear the whispered words, but he could clearly catch the trembling and panic in Lin Yuxin's body.
Gu Zhun watched Lin Yuxin throwing a tantrum on Zhong Tianpei, but Zhong Tianpei still didn't let him go. It was also at this time that Gu Zhun discovered that the two pens that Lin Yuxin had given him were now used on Lin Yuxin.
Gu Zhun's head suddenly became filled with blood. He trotted forward, clenched his fists and knocked Zhong Tianpei to the ground. "Where's the key?" Gu Zhun looked away, not daring to look into Lin Yuxin's pitiful eyes.
Zhong Tianpei wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's lost."
The veins on Gu Zhun's head were throbbing. Lin Yuxin fell to the ground and hugged Gu Zhun's calf, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, as if his throat couldn't make any sound.
Also, the red marks on his neck were too obvious.
"Zhong Tianpei, I'll say it again, take out the key." Gu Zhun's tone was already threatening. He stepped on Zhong Tianpei's chest and looked down at this devil condescendingly.
But for some reason, at this moment Zhong Tianpei laughed out loud, with a sense of satisfaction. He stared at Gu Zhun with naked eyes as if he wanted to devour Gu Zhun alive.
"You'd better hurry up."
Then Zhong Tianpei took out a key from his chest and handed it to Gu Zhun tremblingly. In the middle, he tried to touch Gu Zhun's smooth fingers, but Gu Zhun dodged them easily.
Finally, Gu Zhun left quietly with Lin Yuxin in his arms, and sent her to a private hospital at high medical expense. On the way, Gu Zhun heard Lin Yuxin crying, like rain, from the initial drizzle to heavy rain.
