Chapter 19 Hostage Complex
Jiang Cheng pretended to sigh, "I didn't understand it at first, but now that I think about it, she may have mild Stockholm syndrome, which is often called a hostage complex, so I think. "
The fat man's heart skipped a beat, "What are you thinking?"
"I think she might be interested in me," Jiang Cheng said somewhat helplessly.
Fat man: "."
Jiang Cheng waited for a while and realized that the fat man had not spoken. He turned to look at him and asked, "Why don't you speak?"
The fat man took a deep breath and said, "Just wait for me to calm down."
Just when Jiang Cheng was excitedly trying to explain to Fatty that Chen Xiaomeng's feelings for him were not just because of his handsomeness, his stomach growled inadvertently.
The fat man instantly became energetic and asked Jiang Cheng if he was hungry and he could go make something to eat.
Jiang Cheng remembered Fatty’s cooking skills during the mission, nodded, pointed in the direction of the kitchen, and Fatty ran away as if he was running away.
They say that psychiatrists are generally not mentally normal, but now Fatty finally believes it.
Jiang Cheng rarely cooks, and the refrigerator is mostly filled with quick-frozen food. There is also a box of Kangshuaifu instant noodles in the corner, which he bought when the supermarket was on sale.
The fat man struggled for half an hour and managed to piece together two dishes.
There was no staple food, so I opened a few bags of instant noodles and fried them. After they were served, Jiangcheng huffed and ate most of them by himself.
“Doctor,” the fat man took a mouthful of noodles and put down the bowl, “Are you the only one who usually lives here?”
Jiang Cheng picked up the plate, put the rest of the food into his bowl, and ate it in one bite. Then he took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. He nodded and said, "Most of the time, yes, and I have no intention of taking in anyone else."
The fat man grimaced , said: "Doctor, please don't be like this. Although I am not as smart as you and not as handsome as you, I have done a lot of work and I can definitely help you."
Jiang Cheng looked at the empty bowl on the table. As if he really thought about it, he didn't answer immediately.
The fat man felt that there was a way, and he became excited and said excitedly: "Doctor, you don't have to make a decision right away. You should think about it carefully. I am really useful!"
"This Let’s talk tomorrow.” Jiang Cheng stretched his slightly stiff neck and said, “I’m tired, let’s go to bed first.”
The fat man quickly put away the dishes and took them to the kitchen. At the same time, the sound of water washing the dishes was heard, "Doctor, you go to bed first. I will wash the dishes and then just spend the night on the sofa."
< br>But when the fat man finished washing the dishes and walked out of the kitchen while shaking the water in his hands, he saw Jiang Cheng sitting on the sofa in front of the table, seemingly motionless.
"Doctor." The fat man asked doubtfully, "Are you okay?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the fat man up and down, raised his eyebrows and said: "You can go to sleep upstairs too, I A person is afraid of the dark. "
The fat man was stunned, and then he seemed to think of something bad and said in panic: "Doctor, I am not as casual as you think!"
"No?"
The fat man thought for a while and said resolutely: "It's not even death!"
"Okay then." Jiang Cheng stood up naturally, without any sign of forcing anyone to make things difficult for him. Walk towards the stairs, then go up the stairs. When the figure is about to disappear, you stop. He looked at the fat man and said, "Be careful at night." He pointed to the opposite wall. "The door in my dream appeared there. Also, I'm different from you. I didn't walk into that door by myself." , but was caught by a huge ghost hand extending from the door."
After saying that, Jiang Cheng went upstairs without looking back.
After Jiang Cheng left, Fatty sat alone on the sofa, staring at the wall, fidgeting.
He couldn't tell whether what Jiang Cheng said was true. This was a person who didn't like to play by the rules, but in a sense, he was trustworthy. At least he got himself out of the nightmare world alive.
As soon as Fatty closed his eyes, he suddenly felt that the iron door Jiang Cheng was talking about appeared again, and then a huge ghost hand stretched out from inside.
The pale fat man stayed downstairs for less than 5 minutes before he ran upstairs. When he went upstairs, he bumped into Jiang Cheng leaning on the handrail next to the stairs, apparently waiting for him.
Before he opened his mouth, Jiang Cheng said, "You sleep in the living room, I'll sleep inside."
The fat man looked in the direction of Jiang Cheng's line of sight. There was a door there. This small living room is separated and must be a bedroom inside.
"Doctor." The fat man said righteously: "If you are afraid of the dark, I can consider sharing a squeeze with you."
Jiang Cheng, who was lying on the mattress, was not very sleepy. He half-squinted his eyes and stared at Staring at the empty ceiling, the scenes from his nightmare replayed repeatedly in his mind.
The fat man was in the living room outside the door. He had suggested Jiang Cheng not to close the door so that everyone could take care of each other.
But Jiang Cheng felt that he did not need his care, so he politely declined. Not only did he close the door as usual, but he also locked the door.
He was worried about leaving such a stranger downstairs, so the fat man had to be upstairs.
Combined with his recent experience, Jiang Cheng naturally thought of the missing Hu Yan and Hu Yan's sister who disappeared before Hu Yan.
Their disappearance may also be related to this so-called nightmare.
According to Fan Li, people who die in nightmares are missing in the real world.
Mysterious disappearance without warning.
Hu Yan’s missing person notice clearly stated that Hu Yan disappeared late at night and was wearing light pink silk pajamas when she disappeared.
The husband who shared the same bed was completely unaware.
The first middle-aged man who died in the nightmare mission once asked how to completely escape the nightmare. Fan Li's answer was to stop asking such stupid questions.
In Jiang Cheng's opinion, there must be a way to escape from nightmares, but people like Fan Li or middle-aged men don't know it, or they know it and don't want to share it with others.
As he thought about it, sleepiness gradually came over him. Jiang Cheng did not deliberately contain this power and closed his eyes as the tide followed.
The physical energy consumed in the nightmare returned to this body as the nightmare ended, but the energy consumed could not be recovered. Jiang Cheng slept deeply this night.
Half asleep, he heard a jingling sound, like renovations being done next door, or nails being hammered nearby, and the floor was shaking slightly.
He turned over, curled up, covered his head with the quilt, and fell asleep again.
What finally prompted him to open his eyes was a knock on the door.
"Doctor." The fat man's loud voice came from outside the bedroom door, "Are you up?"
After getting up, Jiang Cheng simply tidied up, opened the door and walked out.
The living room outside the bedroom was empty, and there was no sign of Fatty. He went downstairs along the stairs.
The phone showed that it was already 11 o'clock in the morning. Jiang Cheng didn't expect that he slept until noon, and his head was still groggy at this moment. (End of this chapter)
