Chapter 922

An unexpected person once talked to Luo Binhan about the reasons behind Luo Jiayang's various abnormal behaviors.Not Zhou Yu, not Nan Mingguang, but Zhou Yu.He revealed Luo Jiayang's affairs to Zhou Yu completely unintentionally. He was waiting for Zhou Yu to have a chat when he came back from the exam.Faced with the various evil deeds committed by a sociopath, the woman's reaction was calm; she did not shy away from expressing ridicule, and compared Luo Jiayang to an imbecile version of him.Even if this is not a purely baseless criticism, it is at least very vicious, so Luo Binhan was not willing to be outdone and compared her to the mortal version of the White Bone Demon - what did he know at that time!

Total narcissism.Zhou Yu gave him this word at that time, and she could always give him some weird words.Infants and young children believe that everything in the world is about them and exists to satisfy their needs, until they eventually grow up and mature enough to figure out their true place in the world.However, once this excessive self-focus extends into adulthood, the consequences are often disastrous.Inability to establish equal and respectful interpersonal relationships, extreme arrogance and low self-esteem, frequent rages or delusions of victimization... These characteristics all echo Luo Jiayang's actions. The only thing that bothers Luo Binhan is that when Zhou Yu said this, Her eyes were staring at him, as if to say: You should also reflect on yourself.

On Thursday morning, Luo Binhan stared at the mirror and thought about this matter, and couldn't help but defend himself: He has never regarded himself as the center of the universe; he still has harmonious friends, although there are not many sincere ones, but there are some. ; Delusions of persecution and frequent rages?Even if he had a little, it would be excusable, because he really suffered from Jing Huang's fault; he couldn't talk about the problems of arrogance and inferiority, because he didn't understand what kind of person he was.It should be said that he especially does not understand what kind of person he is.

The so-called personality, in his own experience, is nothing more than a fluid and temporary expression, a shape that the water temporarily adapts to in different rivers.He doesn't feel that he has any solid personality that is independent of circumstances, unlike Zhou Yu or Luo Jiayang.But, of course, knowing others and knowing oneself are two different things. Maybe he just didn't recognize it clearly.He stared in front of the mirror for too long, until the face looking back at him from behind the glass had turned into a completely unfamiliar face, and his temperament could not be described.It was just a male primate in his late thirties, younger or older, lively or gloomy, with very little difference between this face and that face.

"Why are you changing clothes in the bathroom?" Yu Xiaorong asked during breakfast.Luo Binhan got up late today and finally revealed that he didn't change clothes in the bedroom.In fact, Li Li has not appeared for several days, and it seems that he has decided not to disturb Luo Binhan's daily life again.Luo Binhan almost forgot her existence. Sometimes he would even talk to himself in the bedroom, or laugh at some silly content on his mobile phone.However, he still insists on his privacy bottom line.

"The mirror in the bathroom is clearer," he said perfunctorily, "the lighting angle is better than the one in my room."

"Shouldn't the room with the balcony have better lighting?"

"Yes, but the lack of light makes me look more handsome. This is called hazy beauty."

Yu Xiaorong rolled her eyes at him.She changed into a short-sleeved cotton sportswear and medium pants today, and she was indeed ready to go for a morning run.It was a good thing for Luo Binhan that she was concentrating on life, because he had secretly contacted Liu Ling in the early hours of last night and wanted her to help find out about Lenny Klein and his two missing inmates - of course not them now These people may have been declared dead long ago. What Luo Binhan wanted to know was their past.He always felt that there might be something here.The reason he explained to Liu Ling was that a friend was doing research on criminal psychology in various countries. She agreed to him and didn't ask too carefully, but it was up to her to believe it or not.

In the morning, he still went to the company headquarters.But he didn't see Nan Mingguang. Instead, he hid in the office and continued to study the debt dispute about mortgage loans.People walked by from time to time outside the office, talking and joking in low voices, but he ignored them all.These movements usually occur, but today they seem to be particularly clear and frequent.Luo Binhan left before noon and drove to the building of the business department to meet his old colleagues.This time he met only middle and low-level managers, and some people even called him "Manager Luo" or "Mr. Luo", which showed that they knew nothing about the real reason why he got this position.

This is what Luo Binhan wants most today.He sat down in the office of a marketing group at the far end of the marketing department and began asking rambling questions about their daily business, pretending to be investigating the expense process.The people who accompanied him were all cautious and confused people.They were really "confused" because today all the "brains" in the business department went to the administrative headquarters to meet with their chairman who rarely showed up but suddenly came.Now the door of the "Buddha Terrace" was open without defense. Luo Binhan was as lawless as a fox that had wandered into the chickens. The low-level employees had nothing to do with him.With a smile, he led a group of newcomers to chat about advertising design for a long time, until the alarm clock rang at five o'clock in the afternoon.

"Oh, it's time to get off work." He jumped up from the office chair, "Let's break up then?"

Everyone agreed and smiled at him, but their bodies didn't move.Luo Binhan knew that this was definitely not their regular off-duty time, but no one here had more say than him today. "Don't you all want to leave?" he asked enthusiastically, "There's nothing going on at home tonight? Then I'll treat you all to a meal?"

Now everyone can no longer agree falsely.They all said that they already had appointments or had family matters to deal with. "Are you leaving then?" Luo Binhan said cheerfully, "I'll explain to Mr. She."

The office finally became empty.The few people who had to stay and work overtime also hid wisely and did not give him a chance to cause trouble.The red light of the setting sun slanted in like an arrow, shooting through the tall glass windows.Luo Binhan walked along these windows and saw the dark iron-like lotus roof reflected in the glass of a tall building opposite.He reached out and pushed on the window, which was locked.He had been trying it from time to time a long time ago, but had never found a window in a high-rise office building that could be opened.So he sat at a desk and was distracted, waiting until Luo Jiayang came to him.He asked Luo Jiayang to take him home to make sure that this person had at least not forgotten how to drive in the past two years and knew how to obey traffic regulations.Luo Jiayang's driving was really good, even safe. Perhaps it was another sign of cherishing one's own life.

"We will go to Aries City tomorrow." He said to Luo Jiayang after getting off the car. "The bus can leave tonight, but I have to get on it before 08:30 tomorrow morning."

"Why don't you spend the night in the car?" Luo Jiayang said, "It's just a good time to hide from your old man."

Luo Binhan walked away by himself and ignored his last sentence.It was impossible to expect Luo Jiayang to obey the instructions without barking. All he could do was to hold on to the reins as much as possible to prevent himself from being bitten.This scale is difficult to accurately grasp, so Luo Jiayang was half an hour late on Friday morning, and he only asked a few questions about sleep in a pretentious manner.Luo Jiayang was very excited. It could be said that he had a high desire to attack. He always wanted to talk about the board members who came to inspect the company this Friday.

Luo Binhan didn't want to dwell on this.The more he talks about it, the more it proves to be his weakness, and the harder his enemies hit.So he pretended to be asleep in the back seat, mentally calculating the contents of the mortgage contract.Should we get the land?He hadn't had time to check in with Nan Mingguang because he had been avoiding contacting Nan Mingguang in the past two days, and the latter had tacitly forgotten about him.This is a silent and invisible boundary, an exchange of conditions beyond words. Nan Mingguang uses this moment of accommodation in exchange for his obedience at other times, because in this way, he does not have to deal with other people.

They followed Luo Binhan's request and went to the land that was used as collateral for the loan.The land use rights once belonged to nearby farmers, but were later transferred to the tourism agency.This process was not smooth, and there were many disputes about ground attachments and field boundaries, but now they have been almost resolved, and a B&B has been built according to the standards of a farmhouse, as well as fruit trees and fish ponds.In fact, the soil in Aries City is not suitable for the production of fruits and vegetables. The tourism agency plans to use some new fertilizers and planting techniques to solve this problem, and try to connect it with nearby wetland tourism.

The weather was not very good when they arrived. The wind was blowing very fast and it was about to rain heavily.Luo Binhan remembered that the moon he had seen in the past few nights was dizzy, which was said to be a sign of wind and rain.He opened the weather software and took a look, and found to his chagrin that thunderstorm warnings had been issued long ago, including orange rainstorm warnings and blue thunder and lightning warnings.He should have paid attention to the weather news in the past few days, but instead he only focused on guarding against Luo Jiayang, but was not prepared at all for the real bad luck coming from heaven.

"Is there an umbrella in the car?" he asked Luo Jiayang.The latter smiled at him in a nonchalant manner and pointed at the trunk.Luo Binhan went over to open the lid and took a look, and then he laughed angrily—it was all boxes of beer.

"You are really hopeless." He smiled and said to Luo Jiayang, "If it rains too much, we will have to stay here tonight."

They took refuge in a B&B before it started to rain. Fortunately, the owner was easy to talk to and they got a well-equipped room for the night and two hearty farm meals.The prices for these treats were very fair, and he didn't take the opportunity to make a fortune, so Luo Binhan also took out all the beer in the trunk as a thank you gift.Throughout the afternoon, they sat in the B&B drinking and chatting, and from time to time they looked through the open door at the torrential rain outside.Between the two fruit trees, the reeds in the wetland in the distance are like clumps of gray-green moss.

Luo Binhan asked the owner about the land and the farmhouse project. In fact, he already knew most of the information from the investment company's report.He then asked about the wetlands.Are there many tourists this season?When can we see migratory birds?What’s the latest news?

The owner of the B&B didn't give him much useful information. He just smiled bitterly and said that the general environment was really bad.Bad things happen one after another, and even the migratory birds this year are very few.They don't like to go to the central water pool much anymore, and only live in the surrounding areas.

"Why not go to the old place?" Luo Binhan asked, "Is there methane there? Or are there wild animals?"

The master firmly rejected his speculation.Such bad rumors about wetlands will definitely have a negative impact on the surrounding tourism industry.He claimed that the Environmental Protection Agency had sent people to check and there was no problem at all, but this year's migratory birds were a little nervous.Who can blame this?The global climate this year is abnormal.

"It seems," Luo Binhan said, "God can only be blamed for this."

The owner of the B&B swore in agreement and pointed out that those guys whose factories were across the ocean were also guilty.Luo Binhan raised his eyes and looked at the sky. There was only an empty pale gray outside the rain curtain.The rain continued until after dark.At night, Luo Binhan still stood in front of the house and looked at the wetland, trying to find some notable phenomena.But after all, there were no towers or telescopes here. He didn't find anything, and he didn't want to go back to a room with Luo Jiayang who was awake, so he continued to stand there, his thoughts flying across the sky and falling back to a certain window in Lihai City. forward.He imagined that there were many people sitting in that room, and one of them would be Nan Mingguang. The person next to him was about the same age as him, and there was a false enthusiasm and concern when speaking - this is what Zhou Yu would say, to put it nicely. It can also be called personable.For someone of that age, maybe.

In the dark night where no one was watching, Luo Binhan had a mean smile on his face, wondering if they would mention him.Most likely it will.It should be said that it is inevitable.He restrained himself from imagining the words that would be used until the door behind him creaked.Luo Jiayang just walked out of the room, and his face had returned to calm.

"You have to drive tomorrow." Luo Binhan reminded, hoping that the other party would go back to sleep.

"The bed board is too hard." Luo Jiayang said, "It stinks so bad. If this place wants to do tourism, what idiot would come?"

There was a cigarette in his mouth, and Luo Binhan didn't know where he had hidden it before.He estimated that Luo Jiayang would not be willing to share. "I don't think your house is that good," he said. "It's not much better than here. When will you move out?"

"Where do you want me to move?"

"There are many choices. In my opinion, the park in the middle of the street is a good location."

Luo Jiayang's face showed that sinister look again.Luo Binhan looked at him, suddenly no longer angry.The rainy night made him feel thirsty and tired.

"I really don't know why," he said bluntly. "You have to live in a place like that - it's just a living hell, isn't it? What do you get there? Freedom? Power? It's pretty special if you don't have someone. With your background, what will your friends do to you?"

Luo Jiayang was silent.This matter is a mystery to everyone, and Luo Binhan knows no more than others.He could only guess that the temperament of that land attracted Luo Jiayang.Using "temperament" to describe a land may be a bit sentimental, but now there is no other similar area in Lihai City.That turbulent history, those hidden shops, the toxic colors lingering at night... If Luo Jiayang was fascinated by these atmospheres and was even willing to abandon objective material conditions, he wouldn't be too surprised.Nan Mingguang said that he could never imagine what happened there, and perhaps that was true, even though he had been to places further than the sun.

He was about to give up, but Luo Jiayang spoke: "There is something there."

"Things?" Luo Binhan said, "Is it illegal?"

Luo Jiayang shook his head.Luo Binhan could tell that he was not trying to be mysterious, but that his poor vocabulary was not enough to support his explanation more clearly. "What on earth is it?" he immediately asked, "What strange things have you heard? Are there any unusual objects?"

His voice may have been too eager, causing a trace of suspicion to flash across Luo Jiayang's face.He immediately caught himself and assumed an attitude of distrust. "You're not engaging in some illegal business, are you?" He said coldly, "If someone takes out any special powder from your residence, you won't be beaten."

"Someone is teaching martial arts." Luo Jiayang said.

Luo Binhan looked at him straightly, not sure that he heard correctly for a while.He had known that Luo Jiayang was purely illiterate, otherwise why would he have expected humans to accidentally develop an elixir after dropping out of school?However, he had not heard that Luo Jiayang was also a fan of martial arts novels - to be honest, now he had to seriously consider the impact of these novels on Luo Jiaotian.On his face, nothing happened, but in his heart, he wondered, is martial arts so attractive to young boys?I think should not be?Zhou Yu and he didn't talk about martial arts fantasies.The most they talked about were mechas and science fiction movies.

"Martial arts," he repeated, not wanting to give anything away in his voice, "You want to learn this?"

Luo Jiayang stopped talking.This time it was truly a no-brainer.Luo Binhan also felt that he should not delve deeper. This was a bizarre dream dreamed by an unlearned and evil hooligan in a hot and humid rental house. It was absurd, ridiculous, and even a little pitiful - but he had never done more. Ridiculous fantasy?What would happen if it was Luo Jiayang who met Jing Huang in that wetland?What would happen if it was Luo Jiayang who was taken aboard the Silence by Jing Huang?He was already numb just thinking about it, because of the ugliness that was destined to be revealed here.

"Go to sleep." He said tiredly and took the lead to walk into the house.He had just taken two steps when he heard Luo Jiayang's words floating out from the rapid rain: "Why do you hate him?"

Luo Binhan turned around.He thought quietly for two seconds and then said, "Isn't this obvious?"

"You got everything." Luo Jiayang said. He suddenly looked very shrewd at this moment, as if he was the top student who was admitted to the medical university. "He gave you everything. You don't lack anything, but you are still like this Hate him?"

"You also got everything," Luo Binhan pointed out, "Your parents don't have any other children... So, what are you doing?"

"They were just using me."

Luo Binhan felt that he had nothing to say.When someone says something so unthinkingly, whether it's a lie, a fact, or even part of the truth, there's no point in trying to refute it.He didn't want to ask Luo Jiayang if he had used anything.This kind of questioning is also meaningless to a person who only loves himself wholeheartedly.He decided to reconcile with his destined family for the time being tonight, and let them live under the same roof regardless of each other.

"Actually," he said slowly, "I don't care if I'm being taken advantage of. And I don't hate him either."

Luo Jiayang didn't seem to believe it.Luo Binhan looked at him and said calmly and honestly: "I just think it's all boring."

He went into the house.Half an hour later, Luo Jiayang walked in quietly.The next morning, the wind and rain stopped and the sun shone brightly, just like the day Luo Binhan woke up from his dream in Liyuan.He woke up very early that morning and walked alone to the depths of the orchard where the summer cicadas were chirping.The verdant wetlands spread out in the distance, where migratory birds and dreams live.It deepens the color one after another in the outline of the morning light, and finally becomes real and concrete.It's still beautiful, but it's no longer a dream, it's just the most lonely and lonely wilderness in the world.Luo Binhan looked at it for a long time, and finally accepted the fact.He told himself that Jing Huang or Momolo would never appear again in the future.He should rationally view the difference between them, a purely accidental encounter, and its natural consequences.In this world, life is made up of the pain of unfulfilled dreams and the emptiness of disillusioned ideals - and I'm afraid that's how life will be from now on.
