Chapter 1266 Regret
Judging from the man's appearance, even if he has some mental problems, he does not show any aggressive tendencies.
He didn't lose his mind either.
He just looked a little bit shocked.
This is completely understandable.
Who wouldn't be shocked if they suddenly find out that they have some mental problem?
If it were him, he wouldn't be able to accept this fact in a short time.
After walking a few steps, the man suddenly realized something was wrong and turned his head.
"Ayu?"
Looking at Ayu who was motionless in the rain, the man's eyes showed some complicated emotions.
The rain and fog were so hazy that he couldn't see clearly Ayu's expression at this time.
"Ayu?"
He yelled again and stretched his umbrella forward unconsciously, as if he wanted to protect Ayu from the rain.
Looking at the tilted umbrella, Concubine Yu felt a little disgusted.
It likes rain.
Because it is a monster that can only appear on rainy days.
Without the rain, there would be no more.
However, after retracting its gaze, it still took steps.
It thought about leaving.
It doesn't like to see men in confusion.
There was also some anticipation of what was going to happen next.
However, it promised the man to be his model.
It is not a monster that keeps its word.
Since men need it to fulfill its promise, it will not fail to keep its promise.
If a man no longer needs it to fulfill its promise, it will leave.
Looking at Ayu walking in, the corners of the man's mouth turned up unconsciously.
Editor Zhang helped the man back to his home.
He asked the man to sit on the sofa, looked around, went to the kitchen, poured a glass of hot water and handed it to the man, and then he sat down on the single sofa.
The hot water passed through his throat, and the warmth spread from his heart to his limbs and bones.
The man exhaled slowly.
The chaotic brain also became somewhat clear.
He turned to look at Ayu who was standing by the window.
It was drizzling outside the window.
There is a strange concentration on Ayu's expressionless face, which isolates the surroundings and creates a world of its own.
He couldn't help but feel a little emotional: Do you really like rain so much?
"Jang He."
Seeing that the man's expression had returned to normal, Editor Zhang pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and curved the corners of his mouth upward.
"Can you still see Ayu?"
The man nodded, holding the water glass in both hands.
A slight warmth seeped into his palm.
Even his heart felt a little comforted.
"Do you still think she is real and not your hallucination?"
Editor Zhang frowned.
Isn't this kind of illusion supposed to disappear as long as I realize its falsehood?
Originally, hallucinations were something created by oneself.
If you believe it, you have it; if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
Isn't that true?
He doesn't quite understand.
"I"
The man lowered his eyes and murmured a few times, "I don't know."
"Ayu."
All of Ayu's reactions were so real.
Is it really just his hallucination?
Are other people's hallucinations like this too?
Just like a living person, with his own thoughts and ideas.
He will have his own reaction to his questions.
Was this Ayu who was completely different from him a figment of his imagination?
Although he is quite imaginative.
After all, to put it shamelessly, he can be considered an artist.
But, he is no longer a child.
How could you make the mistake of being so fond of a character that you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality?
etc!
He suddenly reacted.
"I first started painting after meeting Ayu."
“It’s not that I imagined Ayu first and then actually met Ayu in reality.”
The order is wrong.
The man's expression became excited again. Then how could he imagine Ayu because he liked Ayu so much?
"Under what circumstances did you first meet Ayu?"
Editor Zhang remained calm.
In his opinion, the man was just "death struggle" unwilling to admit that he had a mental problem.
The man was stunned, "I came back from a department dinner that day. I drank too much and felt dizzy. When I was about to fall, I grabbed someone's arm."
"It's Ayu."
Thinking of the scene at that time, although it was a bit blurry, he still vaguely remembered his own embarrassment.
In the end, he, a grown man, was carried away by Ayu.
He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
I feel embarrassed and amused at the same time.
"I drank too much."
Editor Zhang's somewhat clear tone made the man's raised mouth suddenly freeze.
Then, slowly straighten the lip line.
He thought that he understood what Editor Zhang was referring to.
Precisely because of his understanding, his hand holding the water glass became a little stronger.
The water in the water glass is already a little cold.
The hands that lost their heat source also became a bit cold.
"Zhang He, it's time for you to wake up."
Editor Zhang shook his head.
"My grandma gave me a jade pendant that was said to be passed down from my ancestors."
"It has the effect of purifying the mind, exorcising evil spirits and avoiding evil."
"Originally, the old man asked me to take it with me, but because it was inconvenient, I kept it at home."
"I'll lend it to you for a few days."
"I'll get it now."
Editor Zhang stood up.
He had spent too much time with this suspected mentally ill man.
If he hadn't really liked the other person's painting of Ayu, he would have said goodbye and left as early as when he sent the other person home.
However, that’s as far as it goes.
To do this to a stranger, he felt that he had done his best.
He didn't have much hope for his jade pendant either.
Talk about purifying the mind, enlightening the mind, and exorcising evil spirits and avoiding evil are just words to bluff people.
Who still believes this now?
It would be more reliable for Zhang He to see a doctor.
He just suddenly thought of this jade pendant.
It can be regarded as a reason to leave.
Editor Zhang left.
The man lowered his head and his eyes were dull.
The room was quiet.
I could hear the patter of rain outside.
He was inexplicably agitated.
"Ah!"
He grabbed his hair hard several times and yelled as if to vent his anger.
He suddenly regretted agreeing to Editor Zhang's request to meet A Yu.
Otherwise, today is just an ordinary day.
Ayu models for him.
He was inspired and in excellent condition.
For today, he asked for leave from the company.
It's because Ayu said she would only come here on rainy days.
Because he was not sure when the other party would come, in order not to miss him, he waited downstairs early in the morning.
Even the address where I made an appointment with Editor Zhang was his home.
After all, they wanted to meet Ayu, and he had no way to inform Ayu to change the meeting place.
At first he wanted Editor Zhang to sit at his home.
When Ayu arrives, he will take people up.
But Editor Zhang insisted on waiting with him.
While waiting, they kept talking about Ayu and the Ayu he painted. Everything went so smoothly.
It would be nice if Editor Zhang didn't come today, he couldn't help but think so.
Well, maybe what happens today will happen much later.
By that time, everything was on track.
He may have achieved some or all of his dreams.
