Psycho

Chapter 10 Movies

On February 2, his girlfriend called Ye Zi early in the morning.

"My husband, I'm sorry, I just remembered that yesterday was your birthday! Make it up today, don't blame me!"

"As long as you make it up, I don't blame you."

Originally, he was very disappointed yesterday, but when he saw his girlfriend wearing a cute white padded jacket, carrying a large bag of homemade desserts, and her long hair carefully coiled in front of him, Ye Zi's heart softened.

On this day, it was rare for his girlfriend to put on airs as a young lady.She has been obediently holding Ye Zi's arm, taking the bus with him, playing happily in the amusement park like a child.

"The last time we came to the amusement park, we only dated for a little over a week."

"You still remember." Ye Zi smiled.

"Of course." The girlfriend pouted her lips, looking very cute.

"What are you busy with these days?" Ye Zi asked.

"When I go back to my hometown, I feel like I've been visiting relatives. I have to meet all kinds of people every day. Well, let's not talk about this. What about you, have you missed me during this time?"

"Of course I do. I'm afraid you'll forget me."

"Hey, how could I forget you!"

Ye Zi looked at his girlfriend's ruddy face, and gently stroked her soft skin with the back of his hand.His girlfriend's eyes were crystal clear, and Ye Zi was very happy that she obviously took time to put on makeup for the date.Sure enough, it's better to be a girl.At this moment, Ye Zi couldn't figure out why he lost sleep last night because of the rabbit.What he has done for himself is truly inspiring.However, I can't accept men anyway, there is no way.

Playing bumper cars, jumping on frogs, visiting haunted houses, and ice skating with my girlfriend... I had a lot of fun.Afterwards, the two got on the slowly moving train and circled the amusement park.

The wind in winter is cold, but his girlfriend is cuddling tightly beside Ye Zi, and the two of them stick together, it doesn't seem to be cold at all.

Ye Zi was really flattered, he asked: "How are you doing today? What's on your mind?"

The girlfriend gently stroked her own wrist, lowered her head and said, "Sure enough, you are the best to me."

"Did something happen?"

"It's nothing." His girlfriend rubbed Ye Zi's shoulder, "I love you to death, hubby!"

Ye Zi didn't see the bloodstains on his girlfriend's wrist from being strangled.

Right after getting off the small train, Ye Zi received a call.It was Jiang Wen who called.

However, the voice on the other end of the phone was not Jiang Wen, but Ye Zi's other buddy, Xu Che.

"Asshole! Why are you answering the phone now, do you know how many times we called you?? We couldn't find anyone everywhere, we thought something happened to you too!!!"

Ye Zi looked puzzled: "What happened?"

"Several people who drank together last night were beaten! Jiang Wen is the worst...fuck...what kind of sickness did it, if I find out, I will definitely break his dog legs!!"

"What happened??"

"Jiang Wen's hand was broken, and his mouth was cut off!!"

Half an hour later, the hospital.

Ye Zi's blood went cold.

The buddies who were alive and well last night are now lying on the hospital bed, either their feet are hung up, or their upper body is wrapped in bandages.The parents were busy walking around, some with angry faces, and some with worried faces.The most serious one was Jiang Wen.There are not many good spots all over the body, and half of the face is covered.A nurse was helping him change his dressing. Even from a distance, it could be seen that his face was swollen, and now he couldn't see his original appearance at all.

"What the hell is going on? Who did it?"

Jiang Wen shook his head slightly, and then fell silent.

Xu Che grabbed Ye Zi out and said, "Don't let him talk, he just finished the operation this morning, and now he can't talk at all. His mouth and face are swollen. Do you know how perverted that beast is? The doctor said , the man probably used a very thin blade to cut off his upper and lower lips bit by bit, and then burned the wound with fire!"

"Can it be cured??"

"Who knows. In short, plastic surgery is necessary. I don't know how to do it, but there is no way. This time, the injury is so serious that I think I will have to take a year off from school. I said, did Jiang Wen offend someone?"

Ye Zi thought carefully.Jiang Wen is very popular at school and has many friends. His father is a civil servant and his mother is a Chinese teacher. They are so ordinary that there is no enemy at all!

"Even if you don't know who the prisoner is, do you remember his appearance?"

"Come on. The police have already come and made some records. I don't think they can be caught at all! The man is wearing a hood, and his whole body is basically covered."

"What time did this happen?"

"What time? It must be after 12 o'clock. It was past 11 o'clock when we parted. At that time, they said they hadn't had enough fun, so they took two taxis to find the bar. Oh, I should really stop them."

"I played together yesterday, and there were no accidents. Are we the only ones?"

"Ah."

After this incident happened, Ye Zi's good mood disappeared instantly.

Xu Che was right, no matter how much they hated that person, they couldn't find out.They didn't know how drunk they were last night, and they couldn't remember even the slightest characteristic of the prisoner.All he knew was that the other party was wearing a hood, powerful, terrifying, like a monster, bloodthirsty like life.There was no murder weapon left at the scene, that person was definitely a master, no hair, shoe prints, etc. were left behind.This case, of course, was thrown out of mind.

But with this incident, Ye Zi became more vigilant than before.He will no longer play late like before, and pay more attention to his girlfriend's safety, often telling her to go home early.For the injured buddy, Ye Zi felt guilty.After all, he was the one who proposed to come out to play together that day.After get off work, he would often visit them.Especially Jiang Wen, he often brought him meals and watched TV with him.

In the few days before Chinese New Year, Jiang Wen got better and the swelling disappeared.Ye Zi saw his mouth with the bandage removed, it was really horrible.The once handsome and plump lips were now shriveled and strangely shaped.Especially on the lower lip, there are obvious knife marks.The doctor said that after waiting for a long time, he will undergo another plastic surgery.And his broken arm is estimated to take half a year to heal.

The first thing he said to Ye Zi was: Be careful.

On the evening before the new year, his girlfriend called Ye Zi and said that she wanted to go to the last movie of the year with Ye Zi to welcome the new year.

Of course Ye Zi was happy.He turned off the computer, washed his hair, took a shower, dried his hair well, put on nice clothes, bought a big box of hot popcorn early, and waited at the entrance of the cinema.

On this day, the snow was a little heavy.

Fluffy snowflakes fell from the gray sky, one after another.

The whole world was dyed white and covered in silver.

Ye Zi waited from 6 o'clock to 7 o'clock, calling his girlfriend, but no one answered.Texted, no one replied.

Seeing that the original soundtrack movie at 7 o'clock had already started, Ye Zi regretted going to the nearby restaurant for dinner.After that, I made more than ten phone calls to my girlfriend, but no one answered.Ye Zi began to worry.Could it be that his girlfriend had an accident on the way? ?He had his girlfriend's home phone number and mustered up the courage to call one.Over there is a rather indifferent middle-aged female voice, saying, Xiaoxia?I went out just now.

From 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock, there was still no news of Nie Haixia.

Now Ye Zi was really in a hurry.

He went out to hail a taxi, he had to find someone himself!

However, not long after he got in a taxi, he finally received a belated call from his girlfriend.

"I'm sorry, I have something to do today... um... so I can't watch a movie with you, can I make it up next time?"

Ye Zi frowned: "What's wrong with you? The voice is weird."

His girlfriend's voice was a little hoarse, a little heavy, and her breathing was heavy.

"It's nothing, see you next time...you can go home early."

After speaking, the phone hung up.

After being stunned for a long time, Ye Zi finally reacted and told the taxi to turn around.

After a while, he received another call from his girlfriend's mother.

"Hello, Auntie." Ye Zi said.

"I've wanted to tell you for a long time, young man. My daughter is a lady of the family. She has used the best since she was a child and lived the best life. She can't suffer a little bit of grievance, not even a little bit, you understand ?"

"I won't wrong her." Ye Zi felt puzzled.

"Let's not talk about that, you know what a well-off family is, right? It's okay to let her experience the bottom of society when she was in college, but in the future, she still needs to find a decent man to marry. Speaking of which, you think she really thinks highly of her." You? I heard that your parents divorced and remarried not long ago. They didn’t have a decent job. All the money in the family was used to buy a new house and they owed debts outside? What else can you give her? Hmph, to put it bluntly, she’s going out today It's not for seeing you at all!"

Then the phone hung up again.

Ye Zi's mood was extremely gloomy.

After getting out of the taxi, he walked alone in the snow, step by step, leaving a string of footprints.

He walked into the cinema alone and bought a ticket for 8:[-].

Little did he know that someone was following in his footsteps.Step by step.The night light shone on the man's head and shoulders.There was already a thin layer of frost covering it.I don't know how long that person followed Ye Zi.

The movie had already started, Ye Zi casually sat on a seat in the back row, and put the cold popcorn in his arms beside him.

It's a romantic movie that just came out.

The picture is exquisite, the characters are beautiful, the plot is funny, the contradictions are prominent, and the twists and turns are touching.

After a while, the lovers in the cinema were already in tears.

And Ye Zi kept staring at the screen, chewing the seemingly tasteless popcorn, his head was strangely calm and clear, as if analyzing the data in the movie, without any emotion or sadness at all.

The phone vibrated.

Ye Zi opened it to see that it belonged to a rabbit.Rabbit sends him many, many messages every day.Except for the rabbit, probably no one would pay so much attention to him and think about him all the time.

[Rabbit: What a coincidence.

Rabbit: Can I sit beside you?Mister ^^]

For some reason, Ye Zi suddenly remembered the scene in classical movies where nobles invite dancers.That's when you should say: Can you dance with me?

Get amused at the thought of yourself.Ye Zi didn't look at the person next to him, noncommittal.

The rabbit bento he agreed.

The seat next to her made a slight sound, causing Ye Zi's seat to sink down.

Ye Zi knew that the rabbit was sitting beside him.Even if it's dark here, if you don't pay attention, you can't see the other party at all, and he knows it.

This recognition did not disgust him.In fact, he was somewhat relieved, almost inexplicably.

The movie is bright at times and dark at other times.

In the changing light and shadow, Ye Zi unknowingly looked at the people around him.

In the water-like light streaks, the rabbit didn't watch a movie.He leaned on the seat, tilted his head, and stared at Ye Zi quietly.His slender eyes, slender eyelashes, soft hair, and slightly raised mouth corners will flash in the bright light, and then disappear in the darkness.

Ye Zi was thinking, and before he knew it, he whispered a word.Obviously he had warned the rabbit before that he must never talk to him.

"Why are you always haunted?"

In the darkness, the rabbit's eyes gradually widened, and his fair cheeks flushed quite a bit, obviously excited.He stood up, like a child who got candy, and asked in surprise, "Azi, can I talk to you?"

Ye Zi was upset: "Answer me."

The rabbit didn't hesitate: "Because I like you."

"..."

The rabbit's tone was soft and gentle: "I am the ghost attached to you. Wherever you are, I will be there. I will always watch you. I know everything about you."

Ye Zi looked at the screen: "Then what am I thinking now, do you know?"

The rabbit thought for a while, and said, "You have a lot of questions about me. But now you are worried about other things. It's okay, Azi, just sleep and you'll be fine. I will always be with you."

Ye Zi thought in her heart, are all high school students like this now?His actions are strange, his speech is nasty... he is really a weird person.

Before he knew it, he was really sleepy.Simply forget about those annoying things for the time being.

After closing your eyes and falling asleep, the whole person is relaxed.

For him at this moment, it seems that reality and dream have been reversed.Dreams are real.Gradually, he was a little confused about his identity and forgot what he wanted to do.Danger, fear, doubt, doubt, all disappear.

Someone whispered softly in his ear, like soft wind, clear water, he couldn't hear clearly.

It was warm where the head rested, very warm.

Before I knew it, my nose became sore for no reason.

In a daze, he could feel cold fingers gently stroking his cheeks, as if wiping something, again and again.

Inexplicably, there is only one wish left:

I just want to stay in this moment, in a dream.
