Shu Nian was completely buried under the quilt, and there was no movement in an instant. Because her whole body was in the air, she felt insecure, so she subconsciously put her hands on his chest.
The quilt is not thick, and white light can be faintly seen coming in.
She was still a little unresponsive, and looked at Xie Ruhe who was covered in a black ball by the quilt in her field of vision, and asked cautiously: "What are you going to take, am I blocking you..."
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe's movements seemed to stop for a while, but it didn't last long, it was as fast as Shu Nian's illusion. He didn't answer, and walked out with her in his arms.
Shu Nian still wants to ask.
Soon, she noticed her current state.
Wrapped in the quilt, huddled into a small ball, hugged by him like an object.
Shu Nian shut his mouth instantly.
Xie Ruhe carried her to the bed in another room.
Both feet landed on the ground, the body was no longer weightless, and Shu Nian's body was no longer as tense as before. Holding her breath, she pulled down the quilt and saw Xie Ruhe standing beside him in a daze.
He picked up the quilt from her body and put it on a chair beside her.
"The quilt is wet." Xie Ruhe put the towel hanging around her neck on her head, "Don't cover it up, replace it with a new one."
Shu Nian followed his movements and looked at the quilt with a dazed expression. In the next second, she lowered her head and saw the wet clothes on her body, and she regained her senses a little.
She just got out of the shower, and because of panic and fear, she jumped into bed without a towel at all and hid herself under the covers. His hair and body were still dripping with water.
Maybe the sheets in the room over there were also wet by her.
Shu Nian let out an apology, stumbling and apologizing: "I'm sorry..."
Xie Ruhe took out a new quilt from the closet, tilted his head and asked, "I'm sorry."
She lowered her head, her voice was as low as falling into the dust.
"I'm too much trouble."
Xie Ruhe stood there for a while, then threw the quilt on the bed and sat down in front of her. His Adam's apple rolled, lowered his eyes, and played with her little hand.
Shu Nian wanted to retract his hand, but he immediately increased his strength to prevent her from moving.
Shu Nian didn't move anymore.
The room probably hasn't been used much. Although it is clean, it looks empty, with nothing but the furniture it should have. The area is also half smaller than Xie Ruhe's room.
Neither of them took the initiative to speak, they were so quiet that they could hear the sound of air.
After saying that, Xie Ruhe didn't say anything.
Shu Nian felt a little embarrassed.
I always feel that he is probably brewing something, maybe it is something that makes it difficult for him to speak, so he has been silent for so long. It also made the atmosphere too serious.
Her eyelashes trembled, and she said, "You can say what you want, it's okay."
Hearing this, Xie Ruhe let go of her hand and rubbed her nose with the back of his hand, looking uncomfortable.
"You sleep here today."
Shu Nian paused, not quite understanding why he thought about it for so long.
She breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Okay."
Later, Xie Ruhe added: "I sleep here too."
"..." Shu Nian widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "What?"
Xie Ruhe's ears felt hot, and he calmly explained: "Two quilts."
Originally there was a quilt on the bed, but just now Xie Ruhe took another quilt out of the closet. Shu Nian couldn't figure out the logic of these two things, but was confused by his serious expression and didn't know how to answer.
She blushed: "It can't be like this..."
Xie Ruhe licked his lips and said honestly, "I can't sleep well without you by my side."
Shu Nian looked at him and said without confidence: "Is it because of me..."
"No, it's my legs that hurt in the middle of the night." Xie Ruhe knew that she could easily believe other people's words, and lied calmly, "Maybe I will wake up from the pain."
Shu Nian immediately believed: "Then what should I do..."
The corners of Xie Ruhe's mouth curled up calmly, and he continued without changing his face: "If you wake up from the pain, just press me. I have no strength."
"Okay." Shu Nian was still worried, and said sadly, "Will it hurt?"
Xie Ruhe thought for a while, then nodded: "Yeah."
"..."
"So we are helping each other." Xie Ruhe reached out to touch her face, hoarse, and his tone seemed to be coaxing, "I am also in trouble, fortunately you are here."
Shu Nian sniffed and muttered, "It's not too much trouble."
Xie Ruhe stared at her, and suddenly chuckled.
"Well, you are not troublesome."
Shunian acquiesced to sleeping together.
She hugged the quilt and climbed to the side next to the wall, not knowing where to put her hands and feet. Seeing that Xie Ruhe didn't look over, she hesitated to pick up the pillow and placed it vertically in the center of the bed.
Thinking that he didn't need such a big space, Shu Nian moved the pillow one foot towards him.
Xie Ruhe brought her a new dress, then turned his back to lock the door, and when he came back, he saw that Shu Nian had got into the quilt with a pillow beside him.
Extremely frantic, he blocked the two from getting closer.
He wanted to laugh inexplicably, walked over to pick up another pillow, and placed it on top of her head silently.
Probably noticing his movement, Shu Nian raised his head gently, with an embarrassed expression: "Don't you use a pillow?"
Xie Ruhe said: "I'll go get a new one."
"Oh." Shunian sat up and adjusted the position of his pillow, feeling nervous as if he was having a wedding night, "Didn't you say you're going to stay in the recording studio tonight?"
"Suddenly want to go to bed early." Xie Ruhe came over with a pillow, and lay down on the big empty seat next to her, "Are you ready to go to bed?"
Shu Nian thought for a while: "I want to adjust my schedule."
"Um?"
"That's right, I don't sleep very well." Shunian's face was half hidden under the quilt, and he spoke muffledly, "Because of work, my schedule is not stable, and I often go to bed late, and then Just can't sleep."
"..."
Although I am afraid of dreaming, I am also afraid of insomnia.
Afraid that a person will spend a long night with his eyes wide awake.
Xie Ruhe hummed: "Then sleep now."
Shu Nian nodded, but his eyes were still open, looking at him.
After a few seconds, Xie Ruhe asked, "Why don't you close your eyes?"
Shu Nian squeezed the quilt tightly, and summoned up the courage to make a request: "Can you sing me a song? I feel a little quiet. Hmm... I feel a little quiet."
Xie Ruhe was taken aback for a moment, and quickly responded: "What do you want to hear?"
Shu Nian thought about the song with a slow melody, and said hesitantly, "Or "Insects Fly"..."
"Okay." Xie Ruhe reached out to cover her eyes, "Close your eyes and listen."
Shu Nian obediently closed his eyes.
Then, Xie Ruhe's singing sounded in his ears.
His voice was deep and magnetic, and when he sang nursery rhymes, it was no longer as clear and bright as it was when he was a teenager, and it was a little more hoarse. Emotions are gentle, and the meaning of pampering floats in the air with the singing.
…
The dark sky hangs low / bright stars follow
bugs fly / bugs fly
who are you missing
…
The voice seemed to carry strength, which made her feel extremely comfortable and secure. Shu Nian relaxed, his grip on the quilt gradually relaxed, and his thoughts changed from bright to pitch black.
Shu Nian's breathing became even, and he slowly fell into the abyss of dreams.
Xie Ruhe's singing seemed to become very far away.
As the darkness drew closer, his voice became softer and softer, as if it was almost inaudible, and it seemed to overlap with another singing voice.
Same lyrics, different tune.
At that time, on the podium, the two of them stood side by side.
Underneath are the classmates who are sitting neatly. Those faces look strange and familiar because they haven't seen for a long time. Young boys and girls, with non-malicious smiles on their faces, whispered to each other.
Shu Nian felt embarrassed, subconsciously looked to the side.
Then, she saw Xie Ruhe in his youth. He was wearing a clean school uniform with no expression on his face, as if he could not hear the ridicule of his classmates at all.
Noticing her gaze, Xie Ruhe looked over, his eyes seemed to be comforted, he quickly looked away, and continued to sing the song "Conger Fly" whose tune was gone.
Inexplicably, Shu Nian also gained courage.
Regardless of the laughter below, he sang the song seriously.
The picture flashed, and the surrounding sky darkened.
There was the sound of heavy rain falling on the outside, the sound of the fan above the head was very loud, and the classroom was too stuffy. Evening self-study, there are always stern-faced teachers passing by in the corridor, and the restrained screams of girls can be heard from time to time.
There are bright light tubes, and there are many water ants flying around when it rains.
One flew to Shunem's desk, she calmly took a piece of paper and fanned it away. Xie Ruhe, who was sitting in front, noticed her movement and turned his head.
Shu Nian looked at him and blinked: "Are you afraid?"
He didn't speak.
The corners of Shu Nian's eyes curled up, and he comforted him, "Don't be afraid, if it flies onto you, I'll quietly remove it for you, and you won't find out."
Xie Ruhe paused, nodded hesitantly, and then slapped the water ants off her sleeve.
Shu Nian was stunned for a moment, inexplicably feeling a little embarrassed, she lowered her head.
When he raised his eyes again, he found that Xie Ruhe was still looking at her with a smile on his face.
freeze.
In an instant, both she and Xie Ruhe as teenagers disappeared.
The screen became darker.
Suddenly, there was no one else beside Shu Nian, and he walked forward with his book in his arms. There were murmurs of sympathy, but no one approached her. It seemed like he was afraid of hurting her, but also like he was afraid of her.
It's a feeling of loneliness and despair.
In front of him was the iron dormitory door.
Shu Nian wanted to push open the door, wanting to hide inside.
Before she could move, she heard the voice of her roommate Ruan Xitong: "Shu Nian and I were in the dormitory last night. She was really scary... she cried suddenly and said some strange things. I also Can't understand… "
"It's not scary." Another roommate said, "She was scared, after all, that kind of thing happened."
"Then she's going to see a psychiatrist! What's the matter if she still lives with us..."
"Hey! Stop talking! It's not good for her to hear."
Shu Nian immediately let go of the doorknob, turned around and left the dormitory.
Then I met Xu Zeyuan.
He didn't take the initiative to hold her hand as before, and took her to the coffee shop in the school silently. There is no one around, and there is pure music with a slow and melancholy melody in my ears.
After a long time, Xu Zeyuan said to her: "I think you've been really weird recently, have you really been..."
Shu Nian didn't want to stop, she stood up, wanting to escape from this place.
She didn't want to stay in such a depressing place, she wanted to go back to her childhood, to the time when no matter where she went, there was another person by her side.
That sunny time.
She left the coffee shop, ran forward desperately, and ran to the end of the road.
Then, Shu Nian saw a familiar figure.
He stood in the brightest part of the light, with his back to the light, so he couldn't see his face clearly. But all fear was gone at this moment, Shu Nian swallowed nervously, and walked over cautiously.
The closer the distance, the clearer the appearance of that person.
It was Xie Ruhe.
His lips opened and closed, he was talking, but Shu Nian couldn't hear a word clearly.
Shu Nian stretched out his hand towards him, and whispered, "What are you talking about?"
Xie Ruhe said it again.
She still didn't catch it.
Xie Ruhe, who was standing opposite her, closed his mouth, turning a blind eye to her outstretched hand. After a long silence, he repeated it again.
This time Shu Nian heard clearly.
He was saying, "I'm sorry, Shunian. I really can't take it anymore."
Shu Nian stared at him blankly, then withdrew her hand, she pursed her lips, nodded vigorously, and said "It's okay". She took a step back, and the tears she had held back all the way suddenly fell.
look back.
It was Zeng Yuanxue who smiled at her gently with a knife in his hand.
…
The day I went home on National Day.
After being knocked unconscious by a man with a hard object, it took an unknown amount of time before Shu Nian regained consciousness.
Shu Nian slowly opened his eyes, his eyes collapsed, and his eyes slowly turned. The environment in front of her was strange, a place she had never seen before. Head and body aches.
She was about to speak in a daze, but found something was blocked in her mouth.
Can only make whining noises.
His hands were tied from behind, Shu Nian struggled for a while, but nothing worked.
Shu Nian gradually came to her senses, and the image of a strange man thanking her and then throwing a hard object at her appeared in her mind. At the same time, she heard the sound of a man humming a song outside.
Her breath held.
The next moment, the only door in the room was opened.
A blinding white light shone in.
Shunian couldn't adapt to the strong light for a moment, he closed his eyes subconsciously, and opened them again soon.
He caught sight of the man standing at the door.
Under her gaze, the man walked in slowly, squatted in front of her, and said with a smile as if greeting an old friend, "I'm awake."
"..." Shu Nian couldn't speak, and moved back in horror.
"I'm very happy today." The man seemed unaware of her fear, the muscles on his face were stiff, and his smile looked particularly pervasive. He moved closer to her, and suddenly laughed like a madman.
Shu Nian's emotions are two extremes with his.
Her eyes turned red, her whole body trembled, and she couldn't help crying like begging for mercy.
He seemed to enjoy the sound very much, and soon returned to normal, gently stroking her head. Again and again. After a long while, the man whistled happily, his hands froze for a moment, and then he grabbed her hair and pulled it back.
Listening to Shu Nian's cry of pain.
The man smiled and said, "Finally another guest came."
