Do nothing

"Ah Cheng, you have a lot of bruises...they hit you again?"

"Ah Cheng, I'm in so much pain. I'm bleeding today."

"It's okay, come on. It's better to do this kind of thing with you than to be done by them..."

"Ah Cheng, I'm so hungry, but I'm on my period...Really? Will you bring me something to eat?"

"Are you okay? What did they do to you again?"

"It hurts...I'm bleeding again. I think we're going to die at their hands one day."

"I really want to leave here... Let's run away... Ah Cheng, let's run away together..."

"Ah Cheng, my stomach hurts...I bleed a lot..."

"Ah Cheng, the doctor said that I am sterile. I will never have children of my own."

"They destroyed me. They completely destroyed me."

"Ah Cheng, I want to die."

……

boom.

Brain oozes from cracks in the skull, mingling with blood, into a sticky, disgusting pool.The long hair was soaked in blood and looked very dirty.

……

His chest was tight and he couldn't breathe.

Yu Cheng opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling in the darkness.Even after waking up from the dream, he still had trouble breathing.

He took a deep breath and noticed something was pressing against his chest.It turned out that it was Zhang Xingduan's hand that wrapped around his chest and hugged him, so it would bring him a sense of oppression.

He carefully lifted Zhang Xingduan's arm, but unexpectedly the latter woke up suddenly.

"... What time is it?" Zhang Xingduan rubbed his sleepy face, and saw that it was still night outside the window.He turned over, looked at the time, and said wearily, "...it's still early."

Yu Cheng suddenly said, "I'm having a nightmare."

Zhang Xingduan hugged him again, his voice was low and sleepy: "Huh?"

"I dreamed of Linlin. Before she died, she came to me several times and told me that she was in pain and wanted to die."

"Ah."

"She thinks we are in the same boat, but I just find her annoying."

"Um……"

"The last time she came to me, I was so annoyed by her that I told her, if you really want to die, I will help you. Then I took her to an unlocked rooftop. I told her there is no surveillance here , even if you jump off the building, no one will stop you. If you really want to die, just jump down, no one can save you by jumping here."

Zhang Xingduan opened his eyes, staring at Yu Cheng's profile in the dark.

"...In the end she really jumped."

"and then?"

"Her family members came to collect the body. I told Xu Delin...he was still the teaching director at that time. I told him that I could admit to her family that I made Linlin's belly bigger, and the condition was to let me go. He agreed. gone."

"..."

“琳琳的爸妈打了我，他们觉得琳琳丢了他们的脸，竟然在网瘾学校还早恋。但琳琳已经死了，尸体是打不疼的，所以他们就狠狠地揍了I also went to my home to discuss the Dharma."

"..."

"My family paid me thousands of dollars, and this matter is over. I also took the opportunity to cry to my parents and tell them that I knew I was wrong. For Linlin, I will behave myself in the future."

"..."

"It was Linlin who helped me leave the academy. I am very grateful to her. Sometimes I also regret it..." He stopped suddenly.

Zhang Xingduan asked lazily, "What do you regret?"

Yu Cheng thought about it, and felt that there was no need to hide it, so he said frankly: "I regret not telling her to die sooner."

"Heh..." Zhang Xingduan was not surprised, as if the answer was within his expectation.He hugged Yu Cheng tightly and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

Yu Cheng struggled a bit, frowned and said, "I will continue to have nightmares if you press me down like this."

Zhang Xingduan did not let go, but said lightly: "Then don't sleep."

Yu Cheng squinted his eyes, knowing that he couldn't escape, instead he laughed, with a hint of doting in his tone: "You..."

The next day.

The Yan family's old house is located in an old town under City A.Just looking at the antique appearance, many people will mistakenly think that this is a tourist attraction.In fact, with Yan Jin's reputation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, this place is definitely qualified to be called "Yan Jin's former residence".

Yan Ke was born here, and lived there until he was in elementary school before moving his family to the current villa.Therefore, he is very familiar with the old house, and he has not been back for a long time, so he can't help but feel nostalgic.

He had greeted his uncle who was staying in the old house in advance, and he kept the greetings silent, and after taking the key, he took Yu Cheng to the library.

There is a very special smell in the library, which is also imprinted deep in Yan Ke's brain, the smell of old ink mixed with rice paper.Seeing the rows of books again, Yan Ke couldn't help laughing and said, "Every time I come here, I feel like I have traveled back to ancient times."

Indeed, most of the books in the Yan family collection are ancient books, and there are also many books and periodicals published during the Republic of China and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.Walking will make people feel a sense of trance, forgetting what is today and what is going on.Looking at Yan Ke's smiling expression, Yu Cheng knew that it was the right time to accompany him back to the old house, so he smiled and said, "You are the master, so I won't be polite to you. I'll go find a book."

Yan Ke nodded, found a chair and sat down.

The sun is very sunny today, bright light spills from the skylight and falls between the bookshelves, and you can see the dust flying in the air.The old house is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, very quiet.Occasionally, I heard a bird call or two, but it seemed more peaceful.

Uncle Shi didn't know where he went.Yan Ke waited for a while, but couldn't hear the sound of him walking, so he came to the bookshelf, picked up a book and started to read it.

In the past few years, probably due to illness, he has been unable to read books.Now after taking the medicine stably, his concentration has improved, and he has regained his previous state a little bit.He soon discovered that he had read this book when he was a child, and now he could even recite a few words, so he couldn't help smiling.

Just as he was about to put the book back on the shelf, he suddenly saw Yu Cheng on the other side of the shelf through the gap in the book.With his back turned to him, Yu Cheng was leaning on the bookshelf and reading intently.

It turned out that the little master was on the opposite side.

Yan Ke was about to call him, but suddenly he was reluctant to break the tranquility.At this time, there was only a bookcase between him and Yu Cheng.Looking from this angle, you can see the spotless white collar of the little master, and the curvature of the neck is as graceful as a swan.Yan Ke went back to school in a trance. The uncle was like a senior he met in the school library. He had a clean demeanor, a tall and straight figure, excellent and clear, attractive but afraid to approach.

Yan Ke stared blankly at his back until Yu Cheng turned around and met his eyes.

Yu Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Ake, what are you doing?"

Yan Ke came back to his senses, startled, and quickly put the book in his hand back on the shelf to cover his blushing face.

Unexpectedly, Yu Cheng bypassed the bookshelf and came to him.

Yu Cheng was half a head taller than him, so Yan Ke could only raise his face and look up at him, not knowing what he was going to do.Yu Cheng smiled and said, "Are you peeking at me?"

"..." Yan Ke lowered his head in panic, his breathing was disordered.Although he was shy, he didn't want to deny his feelings, so he gave an honest "um" and subconsciously lowered his head to escape.

"Don't run."

He heard the little uncle smiled softly, and then put one hand on the bookshelf, blocking his way.Yan Ke stared blankly at his hand, which was slender and beautiful, and it was the hand of a man exuding a bookish air.Yan Ke couldn't think for a while, but felt his breath slowly approaching, the warm breath even slapping his bangs, so close that it made one's heart palpitate and one could have infinite reverie.

What is he doing?

It's just the two of us here, no one will bother... what is he going to do?

Yan Ke didn't dare to look up.

He felt Yu Cheng leaned down slightly, and he felt the warmth from another person, getting closer and closer.He could even feel Yu Cheng's lips were about to kiss him.But I don't know where he will kiss, is it the forehead?cheek?still……

The whole face was burning.

However, the little martial uncle stopped suddenly and didn't come any closer.

Hearing a low sigh, he couldn't help raising his head in surprise.Yu Cheng had already looked away, looked at the bookshelf behind him, and smiled stiffly.

"...I happened to be looking for this book."

Yan Ke moved away in a daze, and Yu Cheng pulled out the book he had just read from the bookshelf.

Was he really... just looking for books?

No, it's impossible.The way he was just now, he must have wanted to kiss me.but why……

Yan Ke was very disappointed, but he didn't dare to ask, so he could only agree, "Yeah. What a coincidence."

Yu Cheng held the book in his hand, but did not open it. He just looked down at the cover and said softly, "I'm sorry."

……sorry?sorry for what?

Yan Ke was stunned, puzzled.

Yu Cheng didn't give him extra time to think, and quickly returned to normal, smiling: "I just felt like I was back at a university, reading in the school library."

Yan Ke's attention was successfully diverted by him, and he sighed with a smile: "Me too."

Yu Cheng hugged the book and leaned against the bookshelf, showing a fascinated expression: "Thinking about it now, how wonderful the campus life is. Simple and simple, hard work will be rewarded. I really want to go back to school and have a look."

Yan Ke said: "It's not easy to go back to school? We can go back anytime."

"Forget it." Yu Cheng shook his head with a smile, "I'm getting old, and I'm afraid to see young students being stimulated."

Yan Ke was about to comfort him when he suddenly thought—does he mind age?

Is it because he is much older than me that...he didn't kiss me?That's why you dare not respond to my feelings?

Does this mean that he also treats me...

Yan Ke couldn't help thinking wildly, but Yu Cheng raised the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Ake, it was really a coincidence just now, what you were reading was the book I was looking for. I remembered the first time I came here , and you helped me find the book."

"...Huh?" Yan Ke was still in a daze.

Yu Cheng's thoughts have gone back to many years ago.During that summer vacation, his mentor, Mr. Yan, brought him to live in the old house and asked him to help sort out some manuscripts.In his spare time, he came to the library to read books, looking for an ancient book, but he couldn't find it.

"What are you looking for?"

When he looked up, he saw Yan Ke.At that time, Yan Ke had just entered high school. Although he had begun to develop, he had a baby face with some baby fat on his face.

"Who is the author? What year? Let me find it for you."

After he reported the title of the book, Yan Ke thought for a moment, then quickly laughed: "I know where it is!" Then he ran away like a gust of wind.

When I came back, I already had the book in my hand.

He was surprised and smiled and said that you are the librarian here.Yan Ke was a little embarrassed, touched his nose and said, "No, I just read books here often..."

They chatted, and it was only then that he realized that this child was the grandson of Yan Lao.

Like an elf, the grandson of the Yan family.

Not long after, Yan's mother shouted outside: "Beibei—"

"I'm here!" Yan Ke responded, and ran out bouncing around.

Yan Ke ran to the door and smiled back: "My mother called me, I will come to play with you next time!"

That summer, the Yan family's old house, the Yan family's library, and the Yan family's grandson left an indelible impression on him.

Yu Cheng's thoughts returned to the present.

"...I was shocked by you at that time. I didn't expect you to read so many medical books at such a young age." Yu Cheng smiled, "Even though I have studied Chinese medicine for several years, I still can't read as much as you."

Yan Ke sighed: "Those books are not what I want to read, they are all forced by my grandfather and father."

"But you are indeed smarter than others, you can see ten things at a glance, and you can't forget them."

"It doesn't work now." Yan Ke smiled wryly, "You have to pay it back when you come out to hang out. No matter how good your memory was before, it's just as bad now."

Yu Cheng sighed: "Ake, you are better than others, that's for sure. Have you forgotten that you can memorize medicine at the age of five, and you have finished reading the four classics at the age of seven. Your foundation is more solid than anyone else's." , why do you always have no confidence?"

Yan Ke said: "What's the use of reading so many ancient books? Now Chinese medicine hospitals mainly focus on Western medicine. If I want to rescue patients, I can't ask the pharmacy to cook me a ginseng soup, right?"

Yu Cheng said: "The situation is like this, we have no choice. We can only do our best within our ability."

Yan Ke was silent for a moment, then bowed his head and said, "Little uncle, I didn't want to be a doctor. I have studied medicine for so many years, and I know that I am not interested in this profession."

"Occupation is not a hobby. Although you don't like this line of work, it's enough that you can do better than anyone else." Yu Cheng turned his face to the side and looked at him tenderly, "Don't worry, take your time." Come on. Once you have a sense of accomplishment, you will naturally like it. Do you still remember the time you came back from Hong Kong, how happy you were after saving someone, this is the sense of accomplishment."

Yan Ke's heart warmed up: "Little uncle, you have always encouraged me, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have changed careers."

Yu Cheng patted his head, and said softly: "If you don't become a doctor, I will be very sad."

Yan Ke enjoyed his touch shyly and happily.Yu Cheng suddenly said, "By the way, how are you feeling recently? Does your head still hurt?"

Yan Ke said: "It doesn't hurt much, and the hand tremors are better."

"That's good." Yu Cheng's eyes showed guilt, "Fortunately, Zhang Xingduan found out that something was wrong with you, if he hadn't taken you to see a doctor... Sigh, Ake, I really feel sorry for you, I will be with you tomorrow, But it doesn't look like you're sick."

Yan Ke hurriedly said: "It's not your fault, it's because I'm too fragile."

Yu Cheng smiled and shook his head, as if thinking of something, he said, "How about this, let's read books together when we have time. You are about to take the attending exam, and I will review with you."

Yan Ke laughed and said, "I'm going to take the doctor's exam, but you're going to pass the exam? I'm under a lot of pressure when you're like this."

"It's still early for the high school..." Yu Cheng lowered his head, stroked the book in his hand, and said with a smile, "Ake, I suddenly have a feeling that I'm waiting for you in the future. Why don't we make an agreement to take the high school exam together in the future?"

Yan Ke was taken aback for a moment: "Little Martial Uncle..."

"Okay?"

"……it is good."

Yu Cheng smiled, stroked his hair, and continued to look for books.Yan Ke recalled his phrase "I will wait for you in the future", his heart was filled with tenderness, which could not be calmed down for a long time.

At the same time, in City A, a certain coffee shop.

Ling Lu was holding the coffee cup, licking the milk froth on the rim of the cup.After licking for a while, he made up his mind, put down his glass and said, "I have encountered a problem in life."

Zhang Xingduan said: "I see."

Ling Lu said: "I seem to fall in love with Teacher Yan."

Zhang Xingduan said: "I can also see this."

Ling Lu was surprised and said: "Ah? You know this?... Is it obvious?"

Zhang Xingduan was more surprised than him: "So you didn't think it was obvious?"

Ling Lu: "..."

Zhang Xingduan: "..."

After a while, Ling Lu sighed: "I don't know what to do."

"Follow him."

"But he already has a plan in mind."

"He will not have good results with Yu Cheng." Zhang Xingduan smiled, "Yu Cheng is sick."

Ling Lu was taken aback for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "Yes! Not only sick, but also shameless! There is no moral bottom line!"

"So I support you in taking him away from Yu Cheng." He smiled, "I will help you."

Ling Lu was very touched, and he said confidently, "Okay! I'll confess to him after I finish my graduate school!"

Zhang Xingduan smiled and shook his head: "You are still a student after all. Love is not based on confession, but on attraction. The reason why Yan Ke is obsessed with Yu Cheng is because Yu Cheng is too good, omnipotent and gentle and considerate to him. At this point You can't win Yu Cheng, his tier is too high. So you have to change your thinking."

"Hmm!" Ling Lu listened very seriously.

"You have two advantages that Yu Cheng can't compare to. The first is your appearance. Your face is very lethal to everyone. Even Yan Ke's father is convinced by you."

Ling Lu was a little embarrassed, but quickly became depressed: "Oh, it's useless to him. He only has Yu Cheng in his eyes and can't see me at all. I'm just an ordinary friend to him."

"No, you're wrong. This is exactly your second advantage. You can play with him, but Yu Cheng can't."

Ling Lu blinked in confusion: "Huh?"

"Didn't you accompany him to the zoo before? You also taught him how to play cards. Yu Cheng can't do this kind of thing." Zhang Xingduan smiled, "Yu Cheng has to maintain a tall image in front of him and be a male god. This is destined to make him ungrounded. You are different. You are younger than him and a student. He will not feel pressured in front of you. On the contrary, you can still get along with him. When he gets along with you It's lighthearted, it's good for his illness, and he can't help wanting to be with you."

Ling Lu thought about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.Yan Ke also told him personally that it was fun to play with him... After thinking up to this point, Ling Lu couldn't help showing a gentle smile again.

Zhang Xingduan looked at him with a smile: "Actually, there is a third point, you are sincere to Yan Ke."

Ling Lu blushed suddenly, but he still suppressed his embarrassment and nodded seriously.Then ask, "So what exactly should I do? How...to attract him?"

Zhang Xingduan said with a smile: "It's very simple, just be yourself. You don't even know how cute your innocent appearance is. As long as you stay by his side, his affection for you will grow day by day."

Ling Lu was a little disappointed: "That's it?"

"That's it, don't be deliberate, you are not a film star, you can't learn Yu Cheng's tricks." Zhang Xingduan thought for a while, "One more thing, just don't show your feelings too obviously."

"Ah?" Ling Lu thought he understood at first, but now he doesn't.

Zhang Xingduan said: "Although Yan Ke has a good impression of you, he still has plans in his heart. If he finds out that you like him, he will show you directly and make you give up."

"so what should I do?"

"Wait patiently. When he is most vulnerable and most in need of help, attack him at once. Don't give him time to think, it doesn't matter if you use strong ones. Do you understand what I mean?" Zhang Xingduan squinted his eyes, showing a meaningful expression. Smile, "Don't worry, Yan Ke doesn't reject this."

If it was Yu Cheng who heard this sentence, he would definitely ask: How do you know?

But now the person in front of Zhang Xingduan is Ling Lu, he just suddenly realized, a little shy but nodded with deep understanding.

So cute.

Communicating with children is much easier than talking to that old fox.

"It's getting late." Zhang Xingduan glanced at his watch, remembering that he promised Louis to go back for dinner tonight.By now Louis was probably in the shower and waiting for him.

Ling Lu replied: "Then I will go back too."

Zhang Xingduan was about to get up, when an idea suddenly occurred to him, he turned around and asked casually, "Do you want to go home with me tonight? Anyway, Yan Ke and Yu Cheng went to the countryside."

Ling Lu was puzzled: "Why should I go home with you?"

Zhang Xingduan smiled and said, "I can give you some guidance."

Ling Lu froze for a moment, and immediately blushed: "You are crazy!"

Zhang Xingduan turned his head and left: "Forget it."

"Hey, wait..." Ling Lu stopped him, his face was redder than before.

Zhang Xingduan smiled: "Don't worry, I'm just teaching you, I won't touch you. After all, I still have a small vinegar jar at home."

"...Really?" Ling Lu was a little suspicious.

"Really." Zhang Xingduan said with a smile, "Do I look like someone who lacks friends?"

Makes sense.Ling Lu began to waver, but still asked uneasy: "Then...why did you help me?"

"Two reasons. First, I have a little friendship with Yan Ke, and I don't want to see him ruined by Yu Cheng."

"What about the second one?"

"Secondly, I also want to snatch Yu Cheng over. Two patients will not have good results together. Yan Ke will leave it to you, and I will handle Yu Cheng."

Ling Lu was really stunned now.deal with?How can he use this word?

I don't understand, whether it's Yu Cheng or Zhang Xingduan, they are both confusing people.

Humph, just the right pair!

With this in mind, Ling Lu made up his mind: "Okay, I'll go with you."

Zhang Xingduan glanced at him with a smile.

Isn't this a trick?

Children are really easy to deceive.
