"Sleepwalking?" Tong Xiaogang was puzzled.
Chen Lan nodded, "When you just said that the photo was missing, I thought that my dad might have taken it away himself, but because it was just a guess, I didn't say anything."
Tong Xiaogang realized something and said: "It turned out to be a play directed and acted by the old man. We thought it was really my mother who was back."
"I guess your brother's thoughts are similar to mine, so he asked you to observe in secret, but you ran to the intersection and sat in the car to observe."
"My brother?" Tong Xiaogang looked at Chen Lan doubtfully.
"Yes, he is your brother, not my brother."
Tong Xiaogang didn't want to discuss who was whose brother with Chen Lan at this time. He looked at his old house and saw that Chen Jian had turned on the dim light in the house, and he didn't know what he was doing inside.
"Let's go take a look." Chen Lan said.
"Look, if we walk over, won't he wake up?"
"No, you come with me."

The two walked into the yard and walked towards the Tong family's old house. Standing at the door, they saw that Chen Jian had taken off the old picture frame from the wall. He was holding it in his hands in a daze with dull eyes. He looked at it and hung it up again.
Then he opened the drawer of the old cabinet under the picture frame and took out the two missing photos. He held one in each hand and still looked at it with dull eyes. After reading it, he put it back again. Every movement was very interesting.
Slowly, his expression seems thoughtful.
Tong Xiaogang was shocked. He had heard about sleepwalking before, but he never believed that such a thing could happen, and now it happened before his eyes.
"You see, he took the photo out of the frame himself and put it back in the drawer after looking at it. After he came during the day, he would definitely not remember where he put it." Chen Lan said.
Tong Xiaogang put his finger to his mouth and "shushed", indicating to Chen Lan to keep the voice down.
"Don't worry, we can't wake him up with the volume we talk like this. Unless we shout to him loudly or slap him hard, but in that case, it may irritate him, make him go crazy, and may cause a bigger problem.
Mental problems." Chen Lan said.
When Chen Lan was talking, Chen Jian had slowly put the two photos into the drawer. She and Tong Xiaogang saw that there were some old books in the drawer, and the photos were pressed under the books by him, so they opened the drawer.
He couldn't find his son, so he thought someone else had taken the photo, and he guessed that the most likely person to take the photo was Sun Xiuli.
After Chen Jian put the photos away, he slowly closed the drawer and turned around to walk out. Tong Xiaogang quickly pulled Chen Lan away and said softly: "Let's go, he's coming out!"
"It's okay, he can't see ours. He's in a deep sleep now. Even if he sees it, he won't be able to remember it tomorrow."
But having said that, Chen Lan and Tong Xiaogang walked aside. After Chen Jian turned off the lights in the room, he slowly walked out, gently locked the door, and then returned to his house.
Don't forget to close the door.
"What else will he do after entering the house?" Tong Xiaogang asked.

"I probably won't do anything else. I'll probably go to bed."
Tong Xiaogang thought for a moment and said, "No, where is your mother? Wouldn't your mother notice that he came out or disappeared?"
Chen Lan shook her head, "No, my mother is a very heavy sleeper and never wakes up in the middle of the night."
The two of them stood in the yard and sighed about what had just happened. After they finished sighing, Tong Xiaogang said: "Let's go, don't disturb them. Come to my car to chat in the middle of the night. It's a bit cold here."
Chen Lan did not object and followed Tong Xiaogang back, went to the intersection and got into the car.
The two were silent for a while, and Tong Xiaogang spoke first: "Your dad probably had a crush on my mom at that time, which is why this situation happened now."
Chen Lan did not object, sighed, and added: "It is mainly because he is under too much mental pressure that he behaves like this."
"A lot of pressure? He has food and drink. In this town, he is better than the better than the worst. What kind of mental pressure is there? Is it because of Chen Lijun?"
"This may be one of the reasons. If my brother was not in jail, he probably wouldn't have such a big mental burden. Of course, this also has something to do with his character. My dad is a self-disciplined person who strictly demands himself. What?
We want everything to be perfect, so we have troubles.”
Tong Xiaogang looked at Chen Lan with a smile, "Hey, Xiao Lan, it will make a difference if you study for a few more years. You understand everything. I feel like you are like a doctor."

"I have always liked medicine, and for some reason I chose Chinese by accident."
Tong Xiaogang took out a cigarette and lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "How should we deal with this matter? Are we just going to let him sleepwalk like this?"
"How is it possible? After all, he still has my daughter. Remember, we can't expose him and save his face. The day after tomorrow is the weekend. I will take him to Kunming to see a doctor about the photo. After he gets better, we will
Just pretend you found it in the drawer."
Tong Xiaogang nodded, "Okay, I will report this matter to my elder brother tomorrow. As for the money for your father's medical treatment, we will all pay for it."
"It won't cost much, so don't worry about it."
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and it was getting quieter. Tong Xiaogang saw that Chen Lan looked even more beautiful in the dim light. He thought about it again and said, "Let's go to the county town and have some midnight snacks first."
Chen Lan also felt hungry, so she agreed to Tong Xiaogang's proposal. Tong Xiaogang started the car and drove towards Dali County. More than ten minutes later, the two entered a night restaurant in the county.
The two sat facing each other, ordered a bunch of skewers and a few bottles of beer, and chatted while eating. The grievances and resentments of childhood no longer existed in Chen Lan's heart. At this moment, Chen Lan just wanted to
Tong Xiaogang as a friend.
Tong Xiaogang still coveted Chen Lan's beauty in his heart. He secretly glanced at Chen Lan while eating and drinking, and then kept pouring beer for her.
It was rare for Chen Lan to go home and relax, so she drank freely, thinking that she was not a little girl anymore, so what's wrong with a little indulgence once in a while?

In addition, I have been really depressed recently. Life, emotions, and career have always been unsatisfactory. Slowly, Chen Lan felt that life will not change according to people's will. What they want will not be obtained, and what they don't want will happen.
But as time went by, I gave up struggling and chose to compromise.
After eating and drinking, Tong Xiaogang clearly saw that Chen Lan was almost drunk, and deliberately asked: "Xiao Lan, where are you going? I'll take you there."
Chen Lan drooped her head and said, "Go to your store. Didn't you open a B&B? I'll stay at your place."
Tong Xiaogang thought to himself, how could I take you to my place? Although Li Qian is not there, the waiter there is not blind. If I take you to live there, it is very likely that you will not eat the mutton and get all messy.
.
"I can't go there. If you want to take a look, we can go during the day, but not at night. Do you understand what I mean?"
Chen Lan nodded, "I know, you are worried that your wife will find out and take me to your place to live."
Tong Xiaogang didn't answer the question and turned to look outside the nightclub. There happened to be a hotel diagonally opposite, so he said, "Let's go, I'll take you to stay opposite."
Chen Lan tilted her head and looked outside, then nodded in agreement.
Tong Xiaogang paid the bill, led Chen Lan, who was a little shaken, to the hotel opposite and got a standard king-size bed room.
After entering the room, Chen Lan opened her drunken eyes, leaned on Tong Xiaogang's shoulder and said softly: "Remember, just this time!"
