"There is nothing to be overcome. Time is the best doctor," said the boss lady. "The key is that you have to cheer up."

"Yes." Jiang Yuduo nodded in response.

"It cleared up today," said the proprietress, "Go out for a walk, I'm always stuck in the house, I'm sick even if I'm not sick. At least I'll open the curtains and make the room brighter and feel more comfortable."

When the boss lady went over to help pull the curtains open, Jiang Yuduo raised his head: "Don't move."

The proprietress stopped, turned to look at him, with a faint fear on her face.

"I want to sleep." Jiang Yuduo knew that his voice and eyes were probably not very friendly, so he found a reason for himself.

"Then... go to bed." The proprietress stood there for a few seconds, turned around and walked out.

Jiang Yuduo continued to peel oranges.

He stood up after eating an orange, walked to the window, and looked out through the cracks in the curtains.

It doesn't rain anymore, the sun is bright.

His eyes swept across the corner.

All the shadows were filled with sunlight, and they were a little confused.

But the person who had been standing in the shadow had left.

Jiang Yuduo narrowed his eyes.

They are gone.

Jiang Yuduo ate all the lunch brought by the boss's wife, peeled another orange, and opened the door.

This was the first time he stepped out of this room in a few days after he lived in.

The corridor was a little dark and the air was very strange.

When the door was closed, the door opposite opened. An older sister looked out and looked at him: "Oh, are there really people living in this room?"

Jiang Yuduo didn't say anything and looked at her.

"You can't go out to wear this outfit now," said the eldest sister. "It's getting warmer today, and you'll have to sweat all over when you go out."

Jiang Yuduo took off Cheng Ke's coat, put it on his arm and turned around and left.

"Hey, this person may be a mute..." The elder sister's voice came from behind, probably talking to the person in the same room.

The proprietress sat next to the dilapidated welcome desk on the first floor. She was surprised when she saw him, but she didn't say anything.

Jiang Yuduo hesitated for a few seconds and turned to look at her: "The orange is very sweet."

"Ah, right?" the boss lady laughed, "I have it here. I'll get you a few more when you come back later."

Jiang Yuduo nodded and walked out of the small hotel.

The sun here is different. Even if it is spring, the sunlight will immediately become a little dazzling when it clears a little. Jiang Yuduo took out his sunglasses and put them on.

He walked to the opposite street and turned around.

Here you can see the window of the house where he lives.

From the outside, the house is even more dilapidated than inside. The light boxes next to it are broken, leaving only a shelf.

He came here a few years ago.

He wanted to see where the puppy committed suicide.

This place was as it was a few years ago, and now it still looks the same, giving people the feeling that it was so dilapidated from the beginning. Year or two, going forward and back, there is neither newer than now nor older than now.

It seems to be solidified in a certain period of time and will never take a step forward.

Jiang Yuduo stared at the window for a long time.

The boss's wife had changed, but she did not tell him that anyone had died in the room. When he designated to live in that room, the boss's wife was not surprised. Jiang Yuduo could see that she was not deliberately hiding something. She might not know at all, or maybe she would not remember it because she didn't care.

A person disappeared like this.

There are no more traces.

Even he himself can't remember the name of the puppy.

After smoking a cigarette, Jiang Yuduo walked along the street to the intersection and saw a landline on the counter of a grocery store.

In fact, he doesn't need to use a landline to make a phone call, but he doesn't have a cell phone now, so he puts it at home... I don't know what Cheng Ke will think if he finds out.

He frowned and shook his head gently, walked into the store, and called Sister Luo's office.

"Hello." Sister Luo's voice came from there.

"Sister Luo, it's me." Jiang Yuduo whispered.

"Xiao Jiang?" Sister Luo's voice was filled with a little surprise, "I finally waited for your call."

"Have Cheng Ke contacted you?" Jiang Yuduo asked.

"Yes, I've contacted you, he's worried about you." Sister Luo said.

"I need to keep it confidential," said Jiang Yuduo, "not telling anyone where I am."

Sister Luo paused: "Okay."

"You promise." Jiang Yuduo said.

"Please," Sister Luo replied.

Jiang Yuduo glanced at the boss who was smoking at the door and lowered his voice: "I want to be admitted to the hospital for treatment."

"Can't you tell me where he is?" Cheng Ke stood in front of the window on the third floor of the store. At this time, there were only no customers on the third floor. He pressed his voice and asked anxiously, "Did he leave the local area or not? Can't I know this?"

"I have to keep the patient confidential," said Sister Luo. "What I can tell you is that his current state is basically stable, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Then will he come back? How long will it take?" Cheng Ke bit his lip.

"I can't be sure about these, nor can I tell you," Sister Luo was very gentle. "Xiao Cheng, please understand me. The exchanges between us about Xiao Jiang were conducted under the premise that Xiao Jiang allowed..."

"So now he doesn't let him say it right?" Cheng Ke quickly found the point.

"He asked all relevant information about him to be kept confidential," said Sister Luo.

"Why didn't he ask you to tell me to get out of here!" Cheng Ke couldn't describe his anxiety.

"Xiao Cheng, calm down," Sister Luo's voice was still gentle, "He is a patient, you can't force him to think about everything in a completely rational and consistent with our way of thinking. In his opinion, this is to protect you."

"I know," Cheng Ke took a deep breath, "Actually, he is already very rational in this way, I just..."

"I think you are very important to him," Sister Luo smiled. "All the decisions and changes he made are because of you."

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Ke was stunned at the street outside the window for half an hour.

Sister Luo told him that Jiang Yuduo contacted him immediately, but this was the only information she could let Cheng Ke know.

He could not know where Jiang Yuduo was, what would happen, what would happen, everything.

All he can do is wait.

Wait for one day, two days, one month, two months, one year, two years, three years, five years.

You can't wait and leave. It's okay.

The sentence Jiang Yuduo wrote on the smoke shell paper suddenly made him feel a little panicked.

At this moment, he felt the same uneasiness as Jiang Yuduo.

Go fuck you.

He turned and left the window.

Go to your fucking Jiang Yuduo.

Cheng Ke walked to the sand painting platform next to him, grabbed a handful of sand with his left hand and sprinkled it on it.

He needs to do something to distract himself, or he needs to focus on thinking about what can restore himself to normal.

He believed in Jiang Yuduo's determination, he believed that Jiang Yuduo would cooperate with all his strength, and he believed that Jiang Yuduo would come back within the presumptive period of "Cheng Ke would disappear."

He could feel Jiang Yuduo's anxiousness at this point.

But why does he keep it secret!

What a fucking secret!

Can Cheng Ke still delay your treatment?

I am still afraid that Cheng Ke will run away if you know the difficulty of treatment!

What exactly gives you the illusion of such a fucking illusion!

Cheng Ke is waiting for you now! Waiting for you to come back! He will die!

Someone cleared his throat aside.

Cheng Ke suddenly came back from his anger and saw Mi Lier standing aside with a little embarrassed.

"Just..." Mi Lier glanced at the sand painting platform, her eyes quickly flashed away, and pointed to the other side of the stairs, "There is a customer who wants to talk about a small sand painting lover party here on weekends..."

"Well..." Cheng Ke glanced at the stage, and after a moment of being stunned, he felt awkward, but he could only remain silent and looked at the two people on the stage who were posing shameless poses, "I'll practice."
