Chapter 27 The Innocent Fool

--The first world side story--

...

............

In the third winter after Lin Xiaodong left, Lin Xiamian jumped off the building.

It happened to be the beginning of winter.

When Gu Xi received a call from the hospital, he was bathing the dog Lin at home.

"Really," he said lightly, holding the phone in his left hand, "I see."

After speaking, the man hung up the phone, put the phone aside, and continued his previous actions.

He rubbed Puppy Lin's body step by step with foam, rubbed it once, rinsed it off with water, and finally dried the hair on his body with a hairdryer.

Lin puppy is not small now.

As a husky, he is almost as tall as a large dog, and he takes a bath directly from afternoon to evening.

When the final blowing was over, it was already a little impatient. He stretched out his paw and pressed it on Gu Xi's hand that wanted to get the phone. Gu Xi was stunned for a moment and smiled: "You don't want me to go there, do you?"

He was never a generous man.

Over the past few years, he couldn't help thinking that if it wasn't for Lin Xiamian, maybe the person sitting in the driver's seat that day was himself.

Although there is no if in this world.

"Then don't go."

He rubbed Puppy Lin's dog's head and muttered to himself.

Walking out of the bathroom, Uncle Zhong stood silently at the door and handed him a handkerchief.

Gu Xi took it and wiped his hands, and said casually, "Arrange someone to go to the hospital to help with Lin Xiamian's affairs."

"Yes."

After dealing with today's affairs, he returned to the bedroom on the second floor and lay down on the bed with his eyes closed.

It wasn't until he was in an empty room that the man's eyebrows finally showed a hint of deep exhaustion.

The two-meter-wide bed was empty on the other side.

The place that originally belonged to Lin Xiaodong now only holds a folded white school uniform.

*

That day, Lin Xiamian thought he was dreaming when he heard the news.

When he and the others rushed to the riverside, Lin Xiaodong and the car disappeared, only a soaked woman sat on the bank and wept.

The police communicated with Gu Xi with a serious look on their faces, saying that several hours had passed since the incident occurred, and the water was rushing during the flood season.

Lin Xiamian only felt the world spinning for a while, he shook his body, shook off the hand of the person who wanted to support him, rushed to the woman and picked up her collar, roaring and asked, "Say, where is my brother? !"

"what are you doing!"

The woman's boyfriend immediately ran over to stop him, but Lin Xiamian didn't listen to anything at all, he just stared at the person in front of him and asked repeatedly with the only glimmer of hope: "He saved you. , so he must be all right, right? You talk!"

The woman cried and shook her head: "I don't know, I just remember that we were hit by a car down the mountain, fell into the river and I fainted. When I woke up, I was on the shore, and there was no one around..."

"You are talking nonsense!"

Lin Xiamian's gaze was splitting, but the man behind him grabbed his raised hand.

"Enough!" Gu Xi stared at him, his hoarse voice concealing a trace of extremely depressed emotions, "Lin Xiamian, this is not a place for you to spill, your brother hasn't been found yet, so instead of chasing someone here, Pregnant women venting, it is better to follow the search and rescue team to help!"

"Go away!"

Lin Xiamian shoved him away, and under the bewildered gaze of everyone, he strode away without looking back.

The incident was so turbulent that even the Chen Bureau in a neighboring province called. After they learned the news, they launched an inter-provincial pursuit with the police here. On the highway, Qi Huaishui, who was absconding in the accident, was caught.

But according to his confession, he drove away from the crime scene after seeing Lin Xiaodong being swept away by the river with his own eyes.

Hearing these words, Gu Xi closed his eyes, and his dry throat suddenly swelled with sweetness.

He forcibly suppressed the feeling and replied, "I see, thank you."

"President Gu," Chen Ju sighed. He has worked in the front line for many years and has seen too many sacrifices. "My condolences and change."

Gu Xi hung up the phone without saying anything.

He didn't want to hear any such "consolation" until he found someone.

The search and rescue work took place all day and night.

At dawn, the search and rescue team finally got a message.

Lin Xiamian's last hope was also lost.

After returning, the police station in the city sent a pennant to the Gu Group, but on the day it was delivered, it was doomed to be sealed at the bottom of the box forever. And because of Lin Xiaodong's identity, although the Gu family refused to accept any interviews, the media that came to hear the news still investigated the whole process of the incident.

Only then did people discover that Lin Xiaodong's life experience was an out-and-out legend.

Although he is not a policeman, and he has not even graduated from high school, all the teachers, classmates and friends who have come into contact with him firmly believe that Lin Xiaodong is a selfless and kind person, especially to his younger brother. Caring and caring to the extreme, he even gave up his studies and future for the other party and chose the most difficult and dangerous path.

And the most shocking thing is that he helped the police seize a total of 377 kilograms of heroin/luo/in, 104.5 kilograms of methamphetamine/drug and 90 kilograms in the short years he worked in the Gu Group. Eight kilograms of marijuana/marijuana and other different kinds of drugs/drugs. When he was still alive, in order to ensure the safety of informants, the police never mentioned his name in any press releases; until he sacrificed, many people in the comments knew that the world was never truly peaceful, but someone silently replaced him in the shadows. They escorted and carried their weight forward.

"Fuck, it's really broken."

"Yeah, I burst into tears when I saw the photo."

"It's too young, those drug/traffickers are crazy!"

"It says he's only in his early twenties, he's still a child..."

"I still remember seeing the news of his marriage proposal with the president of the Gu Group not long ago. I was envious for a while at the time. Why is it like this now?"

There are also people in the comment area who are popularizing the dangers of drugs/drugs to others, telling them that once so many drugs/drugs appear on the market, several surrounding provinces will be affected, and thousands of families will fall apart because of it.

In particular, the residents of the dock city are deeply touched by this.

The police's announcement is only a few hundred words, but there are tens of thousands of comments below, and countless retweets and likes.

But these are no longer important.

On the day of the funeral, the sky was overcast and it started to rain. In order to prevent private retaliation, the exact location of the cemetery has not been disclosed, but tens of thousands of people spontaneously came to the walls of Gu's Group and No. At the time, I also specially found a local resident who cried the most for an interview.

"How are you feeling now?"

He handed the microphone to the flower-armed man who was crying in a mess, and asked earnestly.

Meng Jinlong glared at him: "I cry so much that my eyes are swollen, what the hell do you think I'm feeling now? Are you blind!"

"My friend, I understand your feelings, but please don't scold you." The reporter argued with reason, "I mean, you are so sad, there must be some kind of spirit in Mr. Lin that touched you? Can you elaborate? Tell us what?"

"Joke." Meng Jinlong sneered, suddenly snatched the microphone from the reporter's hand, and shouted at the camera, "Brother, listen up! You are a hero! I will accept you if I refuse to accept anyone in my life! "

After speaking, he gave the reporter an international friendly gesture, threw the microphone into his arms and swaggered away.

The reporter hurriedly picked up the microphone and stayed in place for two seconds before reacting.

"Damn, we're live streaming!"

*

Shortly after the funeral, Gu Xi met Lin Xiamian again by chance.

He can say with certainty that in half his life he has never been so angry.

But looking at Lin Xiamian who looked like "Lin Xiaodong" in front of him, and even his behavior and expression on his face had changed dramatically, Gu Xi's anger that had been suppressed for a long time burst out instantly.

He smashed the mirror in Lin Xiamian's hand on the spot.

Gu Xi grabbed the collar of the young man's school uniform and said to him in an extremely disgusting tone: "Lin Xiamian, I don't care if you are really crazy or fake, from now on, don't appear in this fucking dress in front of me! Otherwise, I will see you beat you once!"

But Lin Xiamian just turned his head stubbornly, his eyes fixed on the broken mirror, the corners of his lips curved into a paranoid and crazy arc.

"Brother," he looked at the countless reflections of himself in the mirror and laughed madly, "Brother, look at me..."

The strength on the neckline loosened, and he took a half step back, unable to stand firm, knelt on the ground with a thud, and his palms were punctured by the fragments of the mirror.

Looking miserable and unbearable.

Just like what was written on the school propaganda board in high school, Lin Xiamian has always had deep guilt towards Lin Xiaodong. He knows that he is essentially a despicable/shameless guy, a thief, a liar, and not worthy of being Lin Xiaodong's younger brother at all.

His entire high school career, even that period of carefree youth, was stolen from Lin Xiaodong.

But Lin Xiaodong always contained his unbearable smile with a smile without haze, and everything about him was repeated again and again.

So Lin Xiamian was spoiled and started to be self-righteous and complacent.

In the end, he reaps the consequences.

Today's Lin Xiamian regrets the past, and suffers unbearably. Every day, he lives in an undisturbed state, like a walking corpse.

For him now, in the days without Lin Xiaodong, just living is a torment.

If possible, he is willing to pay for a switch back to Lin Xiaodong's forgiveness.

But even if Lin Xiamian knelt in front of the tombstone and took out his heart and said 11,000 words of sorry, the only person in the world who was willing to give everything for him would not hear him.

Gu Xiju looked down at the black-haired youth with tears streaming down his face, after a while, he sneered.

"I really don't deserve it for him," he said.

After saying that, he turned around and left.

On the way home, a wild cat on the side of the road suddenly barked at him.

Gu Xi stopped and looked at it silently.

The wild cat glanced at him, lowered its head, sat on the wall and licked its paws gracefully, then jumped down lightly, raised its tail and arched its back, squinted, and wrapped around Gu Xi's trousers to enjoy rubbed the ground.

The man bent down and tried to pet it, but the wild cat quickly avoided it.

Gu Xi's movements stopped, and he laughed at himself.

It turned out that the ending has not changed from beginning to end.

He picked out the finest feed, the cleanest water, and used gold to create the most beautiful and delicate cage, just to keep someone who didn't belong to him.

It's empty after all.

--The First World Extra Story (End)--

In the dark sleeping chamber, Gu Xi opened his eyes.

The little mermaid lay beside him, fast asleep.

Looking at the familiar face in the dark, his breathing cluttered for some reason, and he subconsciously grabbed the opponent's hand tightly.

"What's the matter?" Lin Xiaodong, who felt the movement, asked dazedly, with a sleepy nasal tone in his voice, "Is it dawn?"

"No...just a dream."

"Nightmare?"

"Um."

"Then you definitely don't have me in your dream," the mermaid rolled over lazily, her big tail resting on the man's lap unceremoniously, "Go to sleep, wait for the morning to arrive at the central star."

But Gu Xi couldn't sleep.

The content of the nightmare had been completely forgotten at the moment of waking up, but the cramps in his heart and the cold sweat soaking his back still made his heart linger. He didn't know what he was dreaming about, maybe it was a memory from the past? Or...

Lin Xiaodong muttered a few words, then changed his posture and fell asleep.

After the breathing of the person beside him became even again, Gu Xi carefully pulled his leg out from under the silver tail, and walked out of the lounge lightly.

Walking through the corridor, I came to the brightly lit command room. The adjutant was busy sorting out the information sent from the military during this time.

Looking up to see Gu Xi, the adjutant hurriedly gave him a salute, frowned tightly and said, "Lieutenant General, the latest news is that the cerebral worm has parasitized nearly 15% of the residents around the Central Star, including a few people who went out. Playing nobles. Although there has not been a large-scale death incident, the situation is very urgent."

Gu Xi thought for a while: "What's the reaction from the royal family?"

The adjutant silently handed over a piece of paper with golden patterns on it.

This is the special paper for the royal family to issue the decree. Gu Xi quickly glanced at the content on it, and the expression on his face instantly froze.

Probably the news that the nobles were recruited finally made these guys who have always been high on the list nervous. After hearing that Gu Xi came back with a mermaid, the old king immediately issued an order to ask the military to pay tribute to the royal family as soon as possible. .

Taking into account the emotional problems of his subordinates, at the end of the decree, the old king also perfunctoryly added the sentence "Ai Qing has worked hard, and there must be a reward". Combined with the commanding tone in the previous paragraph, the arrogant attitude is a bit ridiculous. .

He doesn't seem to have figured out who is the person who really holds the military power in Central Star now.

The adjutant asked in a deep voice, "Lieutenant General, what should we do now?"

"How to do?"

Gu Xi twitched the corners of his lips, and in front of the soldiers in the command room, he tore the decree to shreds on the spot.

"Call someone to clean it up," he lightly tossed aside the waste paper in his hand. "Also, if those bastards raise any objections, just throw a word to them-"

"roll."
