Chapter 96:

Five years ago, Li Wenyu was not used to it when he first arrived in City B.

The house he rented was on the second floor of an old street in the old city. City B has a long rainy season. When it rains, rainwater always flows in through the gaps in the windows that have been in disrepair, making it very humid.

Opposite the rental house is a KTV that is not doing well. The decoration and equipment are old. From a distance, it looks like a dance hall from the last century. At night, the same old and sad singing can be heard.

The windows of the house couldn't even block the rain, and naturally they couldn't block the babbling singing. Sometimes even the guests inside could clearly hear the harsh and explicit conversations they had when they went out because they were drunk.

Li Wenyu was lying on the single bed that he had specially moved to the corner farthest from the window, looking at the mottled white walls on the ceiling. He insisted on not closing his eyes, so that he could fall asleep at once until his eyes were sore.

While he was worried about being found by Pei Xin, he was preparing for the college entrance examination. He had no time to work part-time, and he had to keep the money in his bank card to pay for tuition. He hardly dared to spend any more money.

During that time, he often dreamed.

Sometimes I dream that when he was very young, he was passing by Grandma Wang’s yard with a schoolbag on his back, and when he got home he was carrying a bunch of yellow oranges.

Sometimes it was the afternoon of summer vacation. After helping grandma cook, I went to the chess and card room at the corner of Nanwang Lane to ask Li Teng to come home for dinner. When Li Teng won money, he would buy a big bag of popsicles from a small shop, filled to the brim with low-quality red plastic, and he would run very fast for fear of melting.

Sometimes during a morning reading in school, he would sit by the window, surrounded by the sound of reading. When class was over, everyone would go to the corridor in great excitement, and he would be left sitting under the evergreen tree. In the shadow of the trees with fallen branches and leaves.

More often, he would dream about Pei Xin.

In that apartment, in the game arcade, in the school, no matter whether there were other people around, his hand was tightly grasped by someone, and the suffocating sense of restraint imprisoned him, and he could not break free no matter what. Until he was exhausted from this, he raised his head and met Pei Xin's dark and sinister eyes.

Only once did he dream of the island in City C.

The garden of the small foreign-style building is lush and green, with towering camphor trees.

The white, melting sunlight cast a large swath through the glass window, illuminating the black-and-white piano dimly, with only half of the keys remaining. Pei Xin sat on the edge of the light. His hands flew over the keys, but there was no sound. Suddenly he turned back lazily, his eyes glowed with a bright light, he smiled and asked: "Li Wenyu, are you cold?" Is it cold? "

Maybe because the sun is shining outside the window, no one will be cold. Perhaps because Li Wenyu had never seen Pei Xin like this, he remembered that this was a dream.

Li Wenyu was covered in cold sweat. When he woke up from the darkness, heavy rain was pouring outside the window, and the quilt was pressed coldly on his body. The small rental house was dimly echoing unknown old songs at the top of his lungs. The neon lights on the sign of the KTV started to change. The light-blocking curtains leaked in, making it dark.

At this moment, in the hazy light and shadow, the young man sitting in the sun in the dream gradually blurred, overlapping with Pei Xin in front of him.

Li Wenyu's hand was held tightly, but it was not restrained. Pei Xin's cold palms finally felt a little warmer, and the calluses on his fingers from many years ago had completely faded away. These were the hands of twenty-three-year-old Pei Xin.

After the people exited, the ward instantly became quiet, and Li Wenyu's anxious heart finally calmed down a little.

The doctor sat opposite them, patted the folds on his white coat and said, "Mr. Pei, don't be nervous."

Pei Xin raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Wenyu from the side, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be nervous."

Li Wen Yu was not in the mood to respond, and his brows darkened: "Answer it carefully."

Pei Xin blinked, nodded and said, "Okay."

The doctor smiled before asking the first question: "Mr. Pei, may I ask your question? When did you first have visual hallucinations or auditory hallucinations?"

Pei Xin's profile looked extremely indifferent under the incandescent light, and he opened his mouth and said, "Five years ago."

"I guess I saw some scene or person, okay. Can you describe it?"

Li Wenyu raised his eyes and saw that Pei Xin's expression became a little blank, as if he was lost in some kind of memory. After a long while, he spoke again with a very low voice: "In the school classroom, I saw a person who had disappeared without a voice."

Li Wenyu's heart trembled, and he almost had a premonition. He heard the doctor ask: "What? "Human?"

The next second, Pei Xin's eyes looked at Li Wenyu, and his throat rolled twice: "Just like him."

Li Wenyu was looked at, and for the first time, he felt that these eyes were pure. Like two shining stars, his lips closed for a moment, but fell silent again.

The doctor nodded thoughtfully: "So, what is the scene that most often causes visual hallucinations?"

Pei Xin frowned unconsciously, but still simply answered: "...all kinds of him, all kinds of Li Wen Yu. There are them in the classroom, in the office, and at home."

"

Yes, they are all sounds.

" The doctor's face became serious. There are two identical Mr. Lis, which one is real and which one is a hallucination? "

"Yes," Pei Xin said, but he remembered something, "It was possible before, but recently...it's strange."

The doctor seemed a little surprised: "How to tell. ?"

Pei Xin thought this question was easy: "Li Wenyu won't wear blue clothes, won't take the initiative to talk to me, won't let me help him get things, and won't suddenly smile at me, but my hallucinations will ."

Li Wenyu's throat was choked, his heart was shut down, and his speech failed.

The doctor paused for a while and then asked, "How often does it happen and when was the last time it happened?"

Pei Xin said, "Every day, this morning."

"Apart from visual and auditory hallucinations, is there anything else that makes you uncomfortable?"

"I can't remember what happened on the night of the injury."

The doctor nodded thoughtfully: "These are only preliminary symptoms. Perhaps they can be treated conservatively with drugs first."

Li Wenyu looked up in confusion: "Can we not use closed treatment? "

The doctor looked embarrassed: "This still needs to be discussed with Chairman Pei. However, Mr. Pei's illness is obviously closely related to you. It is also because of you that you can distinguish hallucinations from reality. If you can help with the treatment, it may be more effective with half the effort. "

Also, the drugs used to treat this type of disease are irritating to a certain extent. They may cause memory loss and severe dizziness and headaches while taking them. Even without closed treatment, it is difficult for patients to leave the care of those around them."
