my neighbors

Chapter 26

I can see my son get married in my lifetime, so I often find a matchmaker to match Qu Su, so this is not the first time.Originally, Zheng Shutang didn't worry too much after going through this kind of thing too much, but Zheng Shutang called Qu Su the next day, and there was a sweet female voice on the other side of the phone, very strange, but definitely Qu Su's favorite type.

Zheng Shutang hung up the phone without saying a word, unplugged the phone line, and refused to answer all calls from Qu Su.Unexpectedly, that afternoon, Qu Su rushed over from the neighboring city.Zheng Shutang buried his head in Qu Su's snow-covered shoulder, and finally felt a trace of peace.

But Qu Su's next sentence sealed all the warmth: "...the one who answered the phone, Miss Wang, also came over together."

Zheng Shutang raised his eyes and looked at him, his eyes seemed to return to that afternoon many years ago, when he heard that Qu Su wanted to find a girlfriend, he was full of numbness and pain: "Why?"

Qu Su bowed his head: "I don't mean anything else, but she insists on following, and I want you to meet her. It's best to let her give up."

Zheng Shutang hooked the corners of his mouth noncommittally, and hugged his waist with his backhand. Neither of them spoke, but just cuddled for a long time.

Ms. Wang is indeed a beauty, even sitting in a small restaurant, she has a special temperament, which is very suitable for sitting with Qu Su.Zheng Shutang sat across from them, and suddenly lost any desire to speak.

Well, the picture is very beautiful, so beautiful that even he can't bear to destroy it.

Ms. Wang peeled the shrimp for Qu Su, pretending to glance casually at the corner of the table: "I think A Su and I are more suitable."

"I know." Zheng Shutang picked up the rice grains in the bowl with chopsticks, "But I love him more than you."

Qu Su looked at his face with a gentle expression.

Ms. Wang unhurriedly handed the peeled shrimp to Qu Su: "Did you know that my aunt's condition is getting worse and worse. I have already told my aunt that I am willing to get married at any time, as long as Qu Su agrees."

Zheng Shutang noticed that Qu Su's face froze, and the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.

The answer is already obvious, so stop kidding yourself.Zheng Shutang smiled, stood up directly and said: "Then I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years, Miss Wang, please treat him well." After finishing speaking, he turned and left mercilessly, leaving only a bowl of rice untouched. With curling heat.

That night Qu Su called Zheng Shutang, and Zheng Shutang laughed at himself: "Hey, the groom who is going to get married soon, why do you have the time to call me?" Qu Su's voice on the other side was a little hoarse: "But I still like you." Zheng Shutang let out an "oh" and said with a smile, "Can you disregard your mother's feelings for me?" There was only a long silence on the phone.

"Enough! I've had enough! Qu Su!" Zheng Shutang suddenly lost control of his emotions, "I'm tired of what you say! It was wrong for us to be together in the first place! Damn it! You made me leave you? Make me forget I'm sorry, I can't help it! Why can you abandon me selfishly, and I'm not even as good as a toy!"

Another man's voice came from the other end of the phone, a little vague, and then Qu Su whispered to Zheng Shutang: "You should also stop in moderation."

Zheng Shutang was stunned, and then said: "What? Found a new boyfriend? He must be much better than me? Have you made it to the last step?"

Qu Su's voice had already begun to carry anger: "He's just my classmate!"

"Student? It's ridiculous." Zheng Shutang wiped away the overflowing tears, trying not to tremble, "Have you ever loved me? Tell me!"

Qu Su hung up the phone abruptly, obviously not wanting to quarrel with him anymore.Zheng Shutang fell to the ground, and the phone line connected to the receiver fell beside him, and there was only a busy tone of "beep-beep-beep".

That Qu Su who smiled gently at him was already too far away from him.

"My story is over here." Zheng Shutang was extremely calm, but his clenched hands still revealed his mood. "It's over?" I was stunned, "What about after that?"

Zheng Shutang took a deep breath, and continued: "After that... I can't remember what happened that night, anyway, after that, Qu Su disappeared, and the day after that, swarms of moths appeared in my house. Finally, today, I Moved in. That's it."

Si Mu said, "Perhaps you only need to remember what you did that night, and you may be able to find out why Qu Su disappeared."

Zheng Shutang smiled wryly, "So... what did I do after that?"

Moth ([-])

Zheng Shutang still didn't remember anything in the end, and we didn't force him to remember anything.I told Zheng Shutang to rest well, don't think too much, Qu Su's disappearance should have nothing to do with him.But I know better than anyone that this chance is too small, so when I said this, I seemed too unconfident.

Simu and I walked into the room, and Simu locked the door behind his back, then leaned against the door and didn't speak.I asked him, "What do you think about this matter..." He pondered for a while and said, "Zheng Shutang said that he doesn't remember many things, right? He also said that there is someone by his side all the time?"

I nodded: "But how is this possible? He took those moths himself..." When I said this, I suddenly lost my voice.

Si Mu showed a rare smile: "You have already given the answer, haven't you?"

I am silent.Since Qu Su disappeared, Zheng Shutang has no reason not to be aware that there are more people in the family, so the place where Qu Su disappeared should not be Zheng Shutang's house, at least not where Zheng Shutang can see it, and it is impossible for Qu Su to kill those moths. There may be only one person, and that is Zheng Shutang himself.

But Zheng Shutang seemed to be very disgusted and even afraid of the existence of those moths, so how did he manage to stay calmly in a room full of moths?Why does he often not remember what he has done, and why does he say strange words and show strange expressions?The answer is ready to come.

"Dual personality disorder." Si Mu and I blurted out almost at the same time.Yes, that's the only explanation left.

When I said these five words, even I was a little surprised.I always thought that dual personality disorder was just something that should be in some suspense movies and novels, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to really appear in my life.

Then we immediately realized something serious.My voice was trembling: "Then if another personality of Zheng Shutang harmed Qu Su...what should I do?" This should not be regarded as Zheng Shutang's crime.

Si Mu shook his head: "Then we still have to ask Captain Zuo and the others. Don't forget, we don't have any evidence to prove that Zheng Shutang is related to Qu Su's disappearance."

With mixed feelings in my heart, I slowly said that terrifying possibility: "... yes. A place where Qu Su is most likely to be." I thought of the wall covered with moths, and sighed softly.

"Maybe we can guess what those moths like?"

And we have no chance to prove it, no matter how terrible it is, it is just a conjecture, and we cannot speak without evidence.The only consequence is that I can't eat at all, and I get nauseated at the thought of those moths.In the end, Si Mu couldn't stand it any longer, and directly stuffed a piece of food with chopsticks into my mouth: "Eat."

I looked at Zheng Shutang across the table, and silently took a mouthful of rice.I can't say anything to Zheng Shutang now, lest his other personality be stimulated and show up again. I always feel that his other personality has a different kind of weirdness and madness.In short, it may be very dangerous.The only thing we can do now is to wait and see.

"Lin Feng, your complexion is a little bad." Zheng Shutang looked at me with some worry, the familiar softness of the corners of his brows still made me feel a little relieved.I smiled stiffly: "Ah... probably because I've been too tired these few days." After I finished speaking, I wished I could slap myself to death. What do you call being too tired after being idle at home all day long?It's like laughing at these busy people.

Zheng Shutang tried his best to smile, and it could be seen that he didn't care about what I said at all, and he seemed very absent-minded.I was also embarrassed to say anything to him, so I buried my head in eating, and spent the meal in weird silence.

Neither of us was in the mood for any daily entertainment, taking turns washing and sleeping.It was just past eight o'clock when I was in bed, more than an hour earlier than usual, so I couldn't sleep at all.Si Mu squeezed next to me after washing, and the quilt was immediately filled with a fresh smell.I was a little envious immediately, why the same soap can wash out such different smells.

I rubbed his shoulder and he took me in his arms.I suddenly couldn't resist such an intimate embrace, at least after I experienced such a maddening incident, there was still one person who was willing to give me his warmth without any gap.

If Si Mu is the one who caused all this... I dare not think about it, and my heart starts to throb and feel uncomfortable. That newspaper clipping and those resumes have become lingering marks in my mind.Forget it.Forget it.I kept hinting to myself that Si Mu had nothing to do with these things, it was just a coincidence.The more I think about it, the sadder it gets.

"Will you... lie to me?" I carefully said this sentence that has tortured me for a long time. If I don't say it again, I will definitely go crazy.

Si Mu just patted my back, and said after a long time: "...don't think about it."

I grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Answer me, will you?"

It took a long time, so long that I thought Si Mu had fallen asleep, and his unique cool voice sounded before the dream came:

"No. Never."

The heart full of doubts and suspicions finally fell silent at this moment, as if with Si Mu's guarantee, those things
