Chapter 35 The Past(1/2)
In the next few days, Du Jing did not contact Huang Ting again.
There was a little chill in Wan City in October. Zhou Luoyang did not propose to go out, so Du Jing stayed at home all day long, as natural as if he had been in the dormitory before. After adding the "captain", the two sides chatted briefly. Zhou Luoyang glanced at Du Jing's cell phone and said, "Are you sure it's him?"
Du Jing silly and looked through the information of the "captain". Through Changyi's channel, the personal information had initial results.
The "captain" is named Lu Zhongyu, single, from Shandong. He has a cat at home. He once worked in a company selling outdoor sports equipment and resigned in March this year.
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Luoyang said.
"Talk about you," Du Jing said, "He asked what we did, and invited us to go hiking or traveling together."
Zhou Luoyang glanced at Lu Zhongyu's circle of friends and said, "Have he taken a little priest?"
"I don't know." Du Jing said, "Zhuang Li is monitoring him."
For this group of private detectives, it is no trouble to be on guarding someone. Du Jing said: "He has been asking to add you, and he has mentioned it several times. Do you want to add him?"
Zhou Luoyang said: "Forget it, I'm afraid I'm not careful."
Du Jing said: "He fell in love with you at first sight, which may be a breakthrough."
Zhou Luoyang: "This is not fun."
Du Jing replied: "Love at first sight is the only way to love, just like having cholera."
Zhou Luoyang naturally knew that what Du Jing referred to was nothing more than "Love in the Period of Cholera". The book was always in their dormitory and was also Zhou Luoyang's favorite book.
Zhou Luoyang held the pen in his mouth and did not continue the topic. He peeked at Du Jing in the meantime. Du Jing was preparing information about Ho Chi Minh City and preparing for the next action.
Several messages came to WeChat. Zhou Luoyang thought for a while and said, "I'll add him."
Du Jing pushed Lu Zhongyu's business card to Zhou Luoyang and said, "I can't help it."
Zhou Luoyang said: "I just want you to concentrate on your work."
The other side passed quickly. Zhou Luoyang greeted Lu Zhongyu. The first sentence he asked was [Are you with Groot?]
Zhou Luoyang answered without it, so Lu Zhongyu asked him to come out for dinner in the evening. Zhou Luoyang asked: [Only we are?]
Lu Zhongyu didn't answer and asked five minutes later: [Does Groot want to come together?]
Zhou Luoyang said to himself: "Is this man aiming at me?"
Du Jing did not answer.
"Are you jealous?" Zhou Luoyang quipped.
Du Jing used the landlord's fitness equipment to do sit-ups in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Zhou Luoyang did not move it away when he rented the house, leaving facilities to provide Le Yao with some simple rehabilitation. But he specifically reminded Du Jing not to exercise when Le Yao returns home.
Du Jing said: "No, it just triggered a self-protection mechanism."
Zhou Luoyang said: "What kind of protection mechanism?"
Du Jing did two sets of sit-ups and said: "When FBI was trained, the therapy proposed in the psychological course to relieve emotional disorders. The agent needs to select a beam of "light" to establish a spiritual self-defense mechanism around it, which can be a person, a thing, a relative, a child, a friend, a pet, or even a tree, a smell. Use this defense mechanism to block all attacks that can cause psychological trauma."
Zhou Luoyang didn't understand, so he lowered his head and replied to Lu Zhongyu's news, "Oh, what?"
Du Jing explained to him: "For example, if you choose 'mother', then any test will not shake you when you perform a task. Because everything you do is to go home alive and meet your mother. In other words, mother is your only hope for survival."
At first, Zhou Luoyang just listened casually, but when he was just using his mind, he was interested in Du Jing's words.
"So if it's a lover," Zhou Luoyang said, "then everything you do is for your lover?"
Du Jing said: "It's not complete, but when you face murder or some moral choice, the existence of light will greatly relieve your pain. As long as you think about everything you do now is to protect your children, it's not that difficult to start."
"Ah," Zhou Luoyang understood, "it is equivalent to a spiritual sustenance."
"Well," Du Jing sat down, casually starting to practice one-handed dumbbells, saying, "spiritual sustenance."
Lu Zhongyu had not much preparation for the topic. After a few greetings, he asked Zhou Luoyang: [Groot wanted to chase you, so he brought you to the secret room. Did he tell you?]
Zhou Luoyang didn't want to answer him anymore.
Lu Zhongyu asked again: [Do you like Groot?]
Zhou Luoyang asked again: "What is this sustenance?"
Du Jing did not answer and changed the dumbbell to his right hand: "What do you say about the mercenary captain?"
"He asked me if I like you." Zhou Luoyang said helplessly, "How do I answer?"
Du Jing said: "Just tell the truth."
Zhou Luoyang said happily: "Then I will tell the truth."
Du Jing did not answer, and got up and started to do four sets of exercises for two-hand dumbbells. Zhou Luoyang thought for a moment and replied to Lu Zhongyu.
Five minutes later, a lot of news came from Lu Zhongyu, and Zhou Luoyang no longer wanted to talk to him anymore.
Zhou Luoyang replied: [Yes, I like him.]
Lu Zhongyu's reply was: [But I feel that you don't seem to like him very much. You are quite cold in the secret room and ignore him, not like you pretend to be.]
Next, Lu Zhongyu analyzed that Zhou Luoyang looked down on Du Jing in the secret room that day.
[We are not together, which does not mean that I don’t like him.] Zhou Luoyang gave a strong answer, [Tell you the truth, I like him, he doesn’t like me.]
Lu Zhongyu: [Why do I feel like it’s reversed?]
Zhou Luoyang: [Whatever you think.]
Zhou Luoyang didn't care what the murderer thought. If Lu Zhongyu was determined to be suspected, it means that this guy indirectly killed more than one person. He couldn't look at death as calmly as Du Jing, and using his feelings to deceive and commit crimes was the most despicable thing.
However, Reason kept persuading him that Lu Zhongyu had not been convicted yet. What if he was wronged? Preconceptions are also unfair to him.
So Zhou Luoyang suppressed his disgust and replied to him: [Do you like the little priest?]
Lu Zhongyu replied: [I don’t have any feelings for him. I don’t like his type, but I think I have to take care of him. The professor is the same as the boy he is taking care of. Didn’t you notice? The professor also has a little bit of feelings for you. Did you go to have dinner together later?]
Zhou Luoyang: [You think too much, just meet friends.]
Lu Zhongyu: [Can I ask you a question?]
Before Zhou Luoyang could answer, Lu Zhongyu posted another message: [Why did you kill me that day? I don’t know if my understanding is right.]
"How did you answer?" Du Jing finally asked.
Zhou Luoyang replied: "Didn't you ask me to tell the truth? I just said I didn't like it. I didn't like it either."
Du Jing nodded and replied, "This is the truth, I don't like you either."
Zhou Luoyang said frankly: "Then it's even." After saying that, he got up and changed his clothes: "I want to exercise too."
Du Jing said: "Don't practice too strongly. Your current figure is just right and neutral, which can occasionally make me feel illusioned."
Zhou Luoyang said: "You know that it is an illusion, which is caused by hormone disorders."
This was the case before. Du Jing's manic appearance caused him to have a long-term high-spirited sexual desire and strong. If he could not find catharsis for a long time, it would turn into the male desire to attack. But Zhou Luoyang could always comfort him at the right time. In fact, he felt that Du Jing's manic desire was much easier to serve than the depression stage.
Zhou Luoyang entered the room and changed his pajamas into sportswear. Du Jing went to the dining table to get a towel. He passed by Zhou Luoyang's cell phone and did not look at the chat records between Zhou Luoyang and Lu Zhongyu.
Zhou Luoyang got on the treadmill and looked at Du Jing.
"Du Jing?" Zhou Luoyang stopped and thought to himself that maybe he had said the wrong thing just now.
"I'm fine." Du Jing stopped and remained quiet for a while, with his shoulders obviously undulating due to gasping. Zhou Luoyang wanted to exercise with him for a while, and by the way, Du Jing said: "Maybe it's time to change again, let me wait for a while."
In the case of a mixed biphasic attack, the transition stage will bring great pain. Zhou Luoyang did not interfere with him, so Du Jing got up and left.
Depression, mania, depression, mania. After reunited with Du Jing, in just over a month, the number of mixed attacks of Du Jing had reached four times, and the condition developed more severely than before.
After this reunion, Zhou Luoyang occasionally had ominous thoughts. Perhaps Du Jing himself felt it, and said it more seriously, in four words to describe it - there is not much time. Just like a terminally ill patient, he had a premonition that there were not many days in the future, and it was because of this that he returned to him.
No, no, he will definitely get better.
Zhou Luoyang forced the thought that he had countless times to suppress again. He put on his headphones on the treadmill and began to play the song "stan" that Du Jing liked in a loop, remembering the summer vacation of the next year after they met.
After returning from a spring outing, Du Jing's condition has stabilized a lot. Looking back now, Zhou Luoyang feels that something seemed to have happened between them during the summer vacation of the first semester of the freshman year, but it is hazy and cannot be captured.
Before the holiday, Du Jing returned to Madrid to visit his stepfather's house. At his invitation, Zhou Luoyang also went there.
Du Jing's family is quite large, with small estates in Madrid and Barcelona. His stepfather is in the wine business. In addition to Du Jing, he also has two mixed-race younger brothers, who are twins. He also has step-grandfather, step-grandmother, and an older step-great-grandmother, an older step-great-grandmother.
Du Jing introduced Zhou Luoyang to his family and simply said: "This is my friend. We are going to take a boat to Corsica and Sicily for a few days."
"Chinese, welcome!" said the stepfather.
Du Jing's stepfather was different from what he described. He was a very talkative person. Although Zhou Luoyang couldn't understand what he was saying most of the time, he could only rely on Du Jing to translate. His mother rarely talked and mostly stayed in the room upstairs to accompany her twins.
"Are you guys a homosexual lover?"
One day at dinner, my stepfather asked Zhou Luoyang in English.
Zhou Luoyang subconsciously glanced at Du Jing.
Du Jing said in Chinese: "What do you want me to answer?"
Zhou Luoyang said: "Just tell the truth."
Du Jing answered a long sentence in Spanish.
Zhou Luoyang looked at Du Jing suspiciously and asked, "What did you say?"
Du Jing replied: "If you ask me to tell the truth, I will tell the truth."
