The smell of disinfectant wafted through the air, and a green light shone through the empty white.
When Xu Shiyue regained consciousness, he had a heavy red apple in his hand.
It was so quiet around them that even her childish breathing could be heard clearly.
Xu Shiyue noticed that her vision had become shorter again, so she raised her head and looked into the distance. The scene was exactly the same as in her previous dream. The little girl in the wheelchair was at the other end of the corridor, watching her walking towards her.
"Can you play with me for a while longer?" The little girl looked at Xu Shiyue walking to her side, her childish voice full of anticipation.
Xu Shiyue had a feeling that he was using his own childhood image to communicate with this little girl.
She was really curious about the identity of this little girl who made her unable to forget her in both dreams and reality, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Shiyue saw the little girl immediately reveal a satisfied and beautiful smile in front of her.
The evenly distributed light suddenly cast a golden halo above her head, and her voluptuous little face was filled with brilliance, so bright that it was a little dazzling.
Suddenly, Xu Shiyue felt as if he had seen this brilliance somewhere before.
But before she could remember, that same small hand was stretched out in front of her.
The little girl took the apple that Xu Shiyue picked up and slowly pushed the wheelchair to her ward.
Xu Shiyue followed behind and walked in.
I don’t know if it’s because of the change in my line of sight, but the little girl’s square ward looked big and empty.
The monotonous white filled the entire space, with only the apple handed over from her having a unique color.
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and Xu Shiyue suddenly felt boundless loneliness.
She didn't know how she should face such paleness, and she didn't know how this little girl could survive here.
People say that it is scary when a person is extremely calm, but isn't it also scary when it comes to an environment
The smell of disinfectant was particularly real and filled Xu Shiyue's nostrils. She looked up at the painted window.
As if possessed by some mysterious force, she turned to her and asked, "Do you want to go out?"
The little girl was stunned by Xu Shiyue's question, and then looked at her legs.
Her black hair was tied into two bows, which swayed with her head. “I can’t get out.”
Then she asked, "Can you spend more time with me?"
The little girl's voice was childish and cautious, and her dark eyes twinkled with cautious anticipation.
Xu Shiyue was somewhat moved, but she knew that she couldn't make this promise to her. Even this meeting in her dream was an accident.
But when she hesitated, a clear and childish voice suddenly came to her ears.
It wasn't her voice, but it was definitely her voice.
"good."
In an instant, the expectation on the little girl's face turned into a smile, and an apple was carefully stuffed into Xu Shiyue's hand.
The apples were bright red and plump, as if they had been carefully selected and specially treasured.
Xu Shiyue didn't expect that the little girl would give him such a precious thing, and he didn't know what to say to her for a moment.
And then she felt as if she was a little tired, and her eyelids seemed to be weighed down by apples, too heavy to lift.
The incandescent light enveloped her, and she held the little girl's hand and lay on the bed which was particularly spacious for them.
Blink, blink, and slowly the eyes closed.
The light spread across the girl's tightly closed eyes, so bright that it was dazzling.
Xu Shiyue frowned slightly and slowly opened her eyes.
The blur was like a spreading water mark, blurring the picture that was clear just now.
Xu Shiyue felt the light and sound, and for a moment he could not tell whether this was reality or a dream.
Saw it.
Xu Shiyue sighed suddenly, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be some strange object below his sight.
She just kept reading, and the image of her hand clasped with the little girl was replaced by her hand with Lu Shizhen.
The feeling slowly returned at this moment, and Xu Shiyue felt that her palms were warm and even a little damp.
Lu Shizhen's hands were intertwined with hers. His bones looked distinct, yet unexpectedly soft.
The even breathing fell gently on the back of Xu Shiyue's hand, revealing the warm and vague feeling of how peaceful and well-behaved this person was in his sleep.
Xu Shiyue's fingers suddenly moved slightly, and as he looked at the girl sleeping beside him, his heart skipped a beat for some reason.
She suddenly felt that Lu Shizhen's hand was like that little girl's hand.
After a pause, he thought that it might be because she shook hands with Lu Shizhen in the real world, so she dreamed of holding hands with the little girl.
Yes, how could Lu Shizhen be that little girl
There is no such magical thing.
Xu Shiyue just looked at her and Lu Shizhen's clasped hands, examining the girl who was inexplicably sleeping beside her bed.
Lu Shizhen was wearing a blanket that was not too thick, which seemed to have been hooked from a small sofa not far away.
Although Xu Shiyue didn't think this was a perverted voyeuristic behavior, he didn't quite understand this person's behavior.
It's not that hard to break free from her own hands. If she wants to break free, she can use any method.
Xu Shiyue's eyes suddenly changed slightly, and for some reason this idea popped up in his head.
She moved her wrist to separate from Lu Shizhen, but suddenly felt something prickly pressing under her wrist.
It's a piece of paper.
It's still a blank sheet of paper.
Xu Shiyue frowned. She knew that she had not put this thing away before going to bed, and she had no idea what Lu Shizhen was up to.
After a pause, Xu Shiyue seemed to have thought of something and placed his finger on the white paper.
The concave and convex dots connected into words and instantly appeared under the girl's fingers, clumsily expressing the man's explanation: I'll tuck you in, you hold my hand, I won't disturb you, I'll stay by your bed.
The words were not fluent, but the expression was clear, just like the person who could fall asleep even on the edge of the bed.
Xu Shiyue read the sentence slowly, running his fingers from beginning to end, pausing and reading it again from the beginning.
She really didn't want to be woken up.
Xu Shiyue found it a little unbelievable, but also felt that perhaps only this person could do such a thing for her.
After all, she is Lu Shizhen.
My fingers gently stroked the paper, making a slight rustling sound. The system's voice merged with it, forming a reminder in my quiet dream: "50"
Suddenly, Lu Shizhen sat up from the bed.
Then, unexpectedly, but as if it was supposed to be, his eyes met Xu Shiyue's.
Sunlight poured in from the window behind him, spreading across Lu Shizhen's line of sight.
Xu Shiyue's eyes were as cold as ever, yet there seemed to be some gentleness hidden in them. Her fair and clean face had some of the immaturity of just waking up in the morning, like a little deer, making people's hearts beat.
Lu Shizhen opened his mouth, as if he had forgotten to speak, and as if he had forgotten to breathe.
She didn't know whether she woke up suddenly or was amazed by Xu Shiyue at the moment. Her mind was confused for half a second, and then it was like a finished program, and she explained to Xu Shiyue: "I didn't mean to sleep with you... I saw that you kicked off the quilt, so I came to cover you with the quilt, and then, just..."
But before Lu Shizhen could finish organizing her explanation, Xu Shiyue interrupted her.
She just put away the paper in her hand slowly and said to her calmly, "I know."
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then looked at the paper beside her, and suddenly realized that Xu Shiyue had seen her message.
She suddenly added 50 points, thinking that this was a reward for her hard work all night, was it gentlemanly
"It must be the host!" Qiuqiu jumped out energetically, "You were so considerate last night, you saved the beauty like a hero, and you didn't take advantage of her! This is simply the most noble virtue of human beings! You are worthy of being the host!"
"hey-hey."
Is there anything more pleasing than getting extra points early in the morning and hearing compliments
Lu Shizhen thought, no.
She took off her blanket, glanced at the time, and said to Xu Shiyue, "It's already half past ten. Should we order lunch? It takes fifteen minutes to get to the competition venue from here. It starts at two in the afternoon. We'd better leave at half past one. We need to change clothes and gather there. The more time we have, the better. What do you think?"
It seemed like it had been planned in advance. Compared with what Lu Shizhen said just now, it didn't seem like they came from the same person.
He is quick in doing things but rarely careful.
Xu Shiyue just looked at the blurry figure in her sight, the corners of her mouth always wanted to rise, but she still suppressed it: "Okay, your arrangement is very good."
Lu Shizhen was quite happy to get Xu Shiyue's approval.
If she were Yuanzi now, her tail would wag.
Continuing his efforts, Lu Shizhen asked again: "What are you going to eat for lunch? I'll go and order it for you."
Like a careful waiter, she flipped through the menu placed on the side of the hotel: "For lunch, there is omelette rice, beef noodles, braised pork with preserved vegetables, fried milk..."
"I'll just have a bowl of light noodles." Xu Shiyue said in a calm voice without following the menu.
"Then let's have shredded chicken noodles. It's hot and warms the stomach." Lu Shizhen said.
"Okay." Xu Shiyue nodded.
The sunlight filled the entire bedroom. It was a little dazzling, but it made her feel very comfortable.
She couldn't tell why, maybe it was because the bed was very soft and the quilt pressing on her was light.
Or maybe there is someone who is caring about you considerately at this moment.
After everything was arranged, Lu Shizhen was about to call the hotel front desk to order food when she heard a voice behind her calling, "Lu Shizhen."
She thought Xu Shiyue was looking for her for lunch, so she turned around and asked, "Do you want to eat more..."
But before she could finish this sentence, Lu Shizhen saw an off-white baseball jacket flying towards her unexpectedly.
She subconsciously raised her hand to take it. The thick cloth weighed heavy on her hand, and was filled with the fragrance of its owner.
This is what Xu Shiyue wore when she came to the hotel yesterday.
Lu Shizhen was stunned for a moment, somewhat puzzled, yet seemed to realize something.
Then Xu Shiyue's voice rang in her ears again, cold but gentle: "Put on my coat before going."
Plop, plop.
The wild deer that broke into Lu Shizhen's heart when she just woke up was running wild in there without restraint, raising a light fragrance.
Lu Shizhen found it very strange.
Why getting a coat is more fun than getting extra points. ：，，.
