The weather gradually entered the late autumn, and the red maple outside the window fell to the ground.
"Boom—"
The house is deserted, and the afterglow of the setting sun casts shadows under the withered sunflowers through the windowsills. And the person lying on the bed, unaware of all this, ignored the rhythmic knock at the door.
The door "clicked" open.
Qin Shu walked in with his meal. She had loose hair and didn't tie a neat ponytail as usual. At this time, she seems very casual and very gentle.
"Shanshan, let's eat, do you still have the strength to see him without eating?"
Thinking of the people in the prison, Qin Shanshan's godless eyes finally focused, and she muttered to herself, "Yes, I can't do this... I want to see him again. Mechanically getting up, she smiled stiffly at Qin Shu: "Sister... It's bothering you again. Qin Shanshan sat down silently and finished the dinner in silence.
Qin Shu looked at his sister, who had lost a lot of weight, and there was a hidden worry under his eyes. In the end, she only said: "The red maple outside the window is open, if there is time... Just take a look, then your mood will be better. ”
What responded to Qin Shu was a low "got it."
The door "clicked" shut again. Before leaving, Qin Shu locked the window.
However, in the blink of an eye, twilight gradually climbed up the whole sky, and should be with the silver moon, and the gentle autumn wind lyrically the tranquility of the night.
At this time, in the dark room, the curtains were scattered, covering the bright moonlight, and there was no trace of light left.
The window was knocked dull a few times, accompanied by the whistling of the wind.
Qin Shanshan was a little scared in her heart, but also a little expectant.
"Who?" Her heart was pounding. Swallowing the saliva, Qin Shanshan carefully moved toward the window. The people outside the window didn't speak, just knocked every few clicks.
Thinking of the shadow in her head, she was fierce and pulled open the curtain.
Enter the house when the moon brakes.
The wind outside the window is blowing, and the maple leaves are fluttering, like drops of water dripping on the rocks, telling of strength and eternity. Qin Shanshan's attention was completely attracted by the people outside the window.
He stepped on a pair of black boots, wore a black, black mask on his face completely covered his face, like a king who came in the darkness, mysterious and deep. The wind mischievously rolled up the hem of his black trench coat, making him look a little more ethereal, out of reach.
From Qin Shanshan's point of view, he was very thin and tall, and looking at the past always made people feel full of oppression.
She froze for a moment, and disappointment surged irrepressibly in her heart.
Not him.
But she wondered who the people outside the window were and why they were coming.
The Man in Black stood silently for a few minutes, then took something from the pocket of his trench coat and gently pressed it against the dead sunflower with a small stone.
Without saying a word, he left quietly.
Through the moonlight, Qin Shanshan saw the item.
A maple leaf, red like the burning passion in the heart.
Perhaps it was human nature to love beauty, and at that moment, she wanted to take the red maple in her hand and look at it carefully, but because she was worried about something, she finally did not open the thick window.
Every day since then, such scenes have been staged as always. The other never spoke, just looked at her in silence, then left a beautiful piece of red maple and left.
"Shanshan, you seem to have been looking at the maple tree outside the window all these days. If you like, we can change the room and the view from upstairs would be even better. Qin Shu frowned and smiled.
Thinking of the red maple leaf, and then thinking of the man in black, Qin Shanshan's dim eyes suddenly lit up, and two small dimples appeared at the mouth. But remembering that her sister was still there, she quickly narrowed her smile and resumed her somewhat gloomy and dull appearance.
"No sister, it's good here."
Qin Shu touched her head: "Just be happy." ”
Autumn goes to winter, and winter is near. Qin Shanshan found that she had not thought of the person in her mind for a long time. She seemed to be accustomed to the presence of the Man in Black now, and she was also accustomed to receiving red maple every day.
Spring is approaching, the red maple is gone, what will he send next time? She was looking forward to it.
Before the night still came for a long time, Qin Shu solemnly proposed that he wanted to go to the hospital with her.
Qin Shanshan's eyes widened, and finally she nodded hesitantly.
In this psychological test, Qin Shanshan did not have much resistance, nor did she have the previous hysteria.
After the test results came out, the psychologist chatted with Qin Shu about Qin Shanshan's profile.
"She's recovering well and the symptoms of Stockholm syndrome are no longer obvious. Can I ask how you helped her recover? ”
Qin Shu said softly, "Probably because I have been looking at the scenery in good condition." ”
The doctors were amazed.
Qin Shu took Qin Shanshan back home.
At twelve o'clock in the night, everything is silent, and there are occasional stars in the sky.
Qin Shanshan received a bouquet of carnations.
This time, however, she did not see the Man in Black.
She saw a beautiful card on the carnation. The lower left corner of the card depicts a pot of vibrant sunflowers, yellow petals, and green leaves, which is very beautiful. And in the center is his flowing font:
I was a person who shouldn't have existed, and when the time came, I should be back where I belonged. It's a pleasure to spend time with you and hope to see your smile in the future.
- Night
Qin Shanshan's nose was a little sour, and she frantically opened the window, jumped out of the window, and then looked around for the thin black figure nearby.
Only, there is no trace.
Qin Shu stood at the second-floor window, touched the hair that had been cut short, and sighed softly.
On her desk, there was a waist-length black wig.
Under the bed, there lies a black mask and a set of black clothes.
Postscript: Qin Shutuo's friend helped to visit the person who made her sister suffer from mental illness in prison. The other person's skin color was much darker, and the scars on the corners of the eyes of his face did not look as fierce as when they first met. The most obvious change is that the other person's eyes have become very numb, as if they have faded from a fierce wolf to a docile lamb. To this day, she still vividly remembers the scene that afternoon when the police rescued her sister from the robbers. In the dark and chaotic basement, when the robbers have been arrested, her seriously injured sister and two other girls are desperately defending the perpetrators who cruelly abused them... Qin Shu had nothing to say to him. But before leaving, she left him with a message: Everyone should be responsible for the innocent lives they have hurt.
The moment you step out of prison, the blue sky and the sunshine are good.
