It took almost an hour to get from the airport to the city. Gu Congli drove very fast today. In less than an hour, he could already see the shadow of Yaoguang Society in the distance.

At the bottom of the building, Gu Congli slowed down and parked the car next to it.

Shi Yin huddled in the passenger seat as quietly as a chicken, and saw Gu Congli unbuckle his seat belt, get out of the car, and walk next to a woman.

The woman was standing on the side of the road in front of Yaoguang Society. Her hair was neatly tied up, and her face had very delicate makeup, with red lips and narrow eyebrows.

She looks very young, and the years do not seem to have left many traces on her body. She has a solitary temperament. Standing on the dimly lit street in winter, wearing a white coat, she looks like a noble lady who came out of the paintings of the Republic of China.

.

Shi Yin studied art, and she recognized that person almost at a glance.

A genius and legend in the painting world, the young female painter Bai Lu.

Bai Lu comes from a wealthy family and has been fond of painting since she was a child. She entered the Paris Academy of Fine Arts at the age of fourteen and had a solo exhibition at the age of sixteen. At the age of twenty, she swept all the highest-level art awards in the country and reached the pinnacle of her career.

Then, this talented young painter disappeared.

At first, everyone didn't care. Creators always need a certain degree of privacy and private space. Everyone was looking forward to her new works and the youngest winner of the Alexander Lucci Painting Award in China.

It wasn't until half a year later that the news of Bai Lu's marriage was overwhelming.

The talented female painter with great aura put down her paintbrush, married another woman, and made soup with her hands. The industry felt regretful for a while, but finally this name gradually faded out of the public eye.

Shi Yin lowered the window and watched Gu Congli walk next to the woman. The woman raised her head and smiled slightly: "Ah Li."

Gu Congli lowered his eyes: "Mom."

Bai Lu raised her hand, palm facing up, and paused in the air: "It's snowing."

I raised my head when I groaned, the night was bright and clear, the cold current brought moisture, and there was no wind or snow.

Gu Congli's voice was calm: "Well, it's snowing and it's cold outside. Let's go home."

Shi Yin hesitated for a moment, then opened the car door and got out of the car. Gu Congli heard the sound here and turned around quickly.

She cleared her throat and asked tentatively: "Then shall I go home first?"

Gu Congli said calmly: "I'll give it to you."

Shi Yin smiled: "It's okay, I can just go back by myself. There are a lot of cars here."

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Shi Yin could tell that he didn't want her to have too much contact with his mother.

But he didn't seem to want to let her go alone.

Bai Lu took two steps forward, looked at Shi Yin, and smiled softly: "Is this your classmate?"

Gu Congli lowered his eyes and pulled her arm: "Mom——"

Bai Lu suddenly realized: "Is she your girlfriend?" She looked at Shi Yin carefully, suddenly smiled, and stepped forward to hold her hand, "It's so late, how can you let a girl go alone."

Gu Congli reacted quickly, and quickly grabbed Shi Yin's wrist, pulled the person behind him, and blocked him tightly.

Bai Lu grabbed the opportunity and was stunned, her white hands stopped in the air.

She turned her head, her beautiful eyes a little red: "What do you mean?"

"Can't mom even touch her?"

She looked straight at him and said in a very soft voice: "I won't do anything to her, I won't hurt her, I just want to see what kind of girl our Ah Li likes...

…”

The woman's voice was soft and soft, floating in the night sky and melting into the cold and humid air, giving it a depressing and strange feeling.

Shi Yin felt a chill on the back of his neck. Standing behind Gu Congli, he couldn't help but lean forward and raised his hands to tightly grasp the clothes behind his back, feeling the warmth of his body.

The coat was tightly grabbed by someone. Gu Congli turned back, lowered his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed her hair: "Can you go home by yourself?"

Shi Yin raised his head and looked at him while biting his lip.

He patted her back comfortingly: "Go, don't be afraid, let me know when you get home."

Shi Yin nodded, took two steps back, and carefully looked sideways at Bai Lu beside him.

She cleared her throat and leaned forward slightly: "Goodbye, aunt."

Bai Lu didn't seem to hear. Her eyes were red and she was looking somewhere, her eyes straight and unfocused.

Shi Yin turned around and ran across the street, hailing a taxi.

It wasn't until he got into the taxi that Shi Yin took a long breath and got out.

Her back was soaked with cold sweat and her fingertips were numb. When Bai Lu stared at her, she felt that she had even forgotten to breathe.

Those eyes were very beautiful, the same light brown as Gu Congli's. They should be a clear and warm color, but they seemed to be hidden in an abyss. The emotions inside were empty, and they were lifeless and cold when they stared at people.

When speaking, there is a sense of incoherent contradictions, a strange tone, and huge emotional ups and downs.

Shi Yin slowly came up with a guess in his mind.

Her mental state seemed not quite right.

Shi Yin returned home, locked the door and lit all the lights in the house.

The light was bright, she sat on the sofa and looked at the fruit plate on the coffee table in a daze.

She remembered Gu Congli's reaction in the car.

He is afraid.

At the beginning, Shi Yin didn't know what was happening, but now she seems to understand a little bit.

Is he afraid that if she finds out, she will reject his family?

Previously, seven aunts and eight aunts came to visit, and Shi Yin heard some of it when Shi's mother talked to them. The second aunt's cousin was getting engaged. The woman's family seemed to be a divorced single-parent family, and her father was a gambler. The second aunt complained all the time.

All afternoon, my central thought was that I was completely dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law's family and did not want my cousin to marry her.

Shi Yin showed an expression of sudden realization.

She entered the study room, carried her notebook to the sofa, opened it, thought about it, and searched for mental illness.

First, click on the encyclopedia, Shi Yin read it line by line, and paused when he saw the last sentence.

——Under the control of morbid psychology, there are actions to commit suicide or attack, or harm others.

For some reason, Shi Yin suddenly remembered the burn on the back of Gu Congli's hand and the thick and long bandage on his forearm.

Shi Yin panicked, threw his notebook on the sofa, took out his cell phone and called Gu Congli.

After waiting for a while, he picked up. There was nothing wrong with his voice, only slightly hoarse: "Are you home?"

"Where are you?" she asked urgently.

Gu Congli paused: "In the hospital."

Her voice suddenly became tense: "Are you injured again?"

He didn't speak.

It was quiet around the two of them. After waiting for a while, he didn't make a sound. Shi Yin felt that he had guessed it right and said anxiously: "Speak!"

Gu Congli laughed softly: "No, I'll send my mother over."

Shi Yin breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and then said carefully: "Auntie, is her mental state not stable?"

Gu Congli said lightly "Hmm".

Shi Yin didn't know what to say.

She thought for a moment which hospital was closest to Yaoguang Society, and then asked, "Is it the No. 1 Hospital?"

Gu Congli hummed again.

Shi Yin lowered his eyes and his gaze fell on the lines of text on the computer screen next to him.

His arm was tied with such a long piece of gauze. How serious was the injury and how painful it must have been.

Moreover, if the person who hurt him is his mother, she is the person in the world who should love and protect him the most.

The tip of Shiyin's nose felt sore, and she didn't know what it felt like.

There was silence between the two people for a while, and someone seemed to call him from Gu Congli's side.

He pulled the phone away and answered.

Shi Yin's nose was sore and her eyes were moist. She was afraid that he would hear something wrong in her voice, so she quickly said: "Did someone call you? Go quickly, I'll hang up first."

She hung up the phone and rubbed her red eyes.

Shi Yin felt a little regretful.

She shouldn't have been like that before.

If she had been braver, if she had not deliberately escaped, but had taken the initiative to approach him and get to know him, could she have helped him share a little bit earlier.

Shi Yin got up early the next day.

She checked a lot of information last night and called her friends who were studying medicine. By the time she came out after taking a shower, it was already past three in the morning.
