Chapter 32: before going to bed

Views:

When Wen Xunchuan came out of the bathroom with wet hair wrapped in a bathrobe, He Linzhou, who was sitting on the sofa and stroking the dog, turned his head and glanced at him when he heard the sound, and asked, "Have you taken off the invisible?"

Wen Xunchuan responded with "Yes", and walked towards the bedroom with his slippers on.

"Are you going to sleep?" He Linzhou asked casually.

Wen Xunchuan: "Yes."

"Oh." He Linzhou withdrew his gaze, held Chunmei's head in two hands and ravaged it, without raising his head, he said, "Good night."

"Good night."

When Wen Xunchuan lay on his side on the bed and was drowsy, he felt that the mattress beside him had sunk slightly, but he said without turning his head, "Go sleep outside."

He Linzhou was lightly lifting a corner of the quilt, when he heard this, he quickly got into the quilt and began to pretend to be dead.

Wen Xunchuan sat up from the bed, looked down at him, and said, "Get up."

"The bed outside is too hard, and my neck hurts from sleeping." He Linzhou pulled up the quilt and covered his head to play a rogue, and muttered in a muffled voice, "Besides, it's not like I haven't slept... Go to bed early, good night."

Wen Xunchuan helped Fu's forehead, stretched out his hand to pull his quilt, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, get out."

He Linzhou said confidently: "My butt hurts, I want you to go, I won't go."

Wen Xunchuan stared speechlessly at the "lgbt little guard" wrapped in the blanket next to him who was still alive and kicking around at night, stretched out his hand and pulled his quilt again, but the quilt was held tightly by He Linzhou Wen Xunchuan pulled two more times, but still didn't pull it apart.

After a pause, He Linzhou lifted the quilt over his head, revealing a pair of suspicious eyes, and said, "Isn't that right? Didn't you drink too much?"

As he said that, he lifted the quilt and sat up with a look of recollection on his face, and squinted at Wen Xunchuan: "Is it just pretending to be dying?"

The quilt was draped around He Linzhou's waist, his firm honey-colored chest was exposed, and ambiguous red marks spread from the side of his neck to his shoulders.

"How long can I get drunk with a few bottles of beer." Wen Xunchuan looked away and said casually, "I was almost awake just now."

He Linzhou rubbed his nose, and muttered in a low voice: "What's wrong with kissing and hangover?"

Wen Xunchuan pretended not to hear what he said, and asked, "Are you going out?"

As soon as the words finished, He Linzhou fell back on the bed and pulled up the quilt to cover his head. His voice was crisp and clear: "I'll see you tomorrow when I'm asleep."

Wen Xunchuan looked at his smooth and flowing movements, completely speechless, he reached out his hand to turn off the light and lay down with his back facing He Linzhou.

His vision was plunged into darkness, and Wen Xunchuan closed his eyes.

After a while, there was the rustling sound of the quilt rubbing against my ears, and then the mattress behind me also moved slightly.

Wen Xunchuan lay still with his eyes closed, and said, "Take your hands away."

He Linzhou silently withdrew the arm on his waist.

After being quiet for a while, He Linzhou heard the even and gentle breathing in his ear, and called out: "Hey, Wen Xunchuan?"

Wen Xunchuan was silent.

He Linzhou turned sideways to face his back, and asked again: "Are you asleep?"

Wen Xunchuan was still silent.

He Linzhou reached out and poked him on the back, and shouted again: "Wen Xunchuan."

Wen Xunchuan, who was about to fall asleep, was so annoyed by his noise, he slapped him on the back of his hand with his backhand, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"

"It's nothing, just to see if you're asleep." He Linzhou laughed aloud twice.

"… roll."

He Linzhou smiled and said, "Good night."

After a pause of two minutes, the ear rang again: "Wen Xunchuan?"

Wen Xunchuan took a deep breath somewhat annoyed, and asked suppressing his anger, "What are you doing again?"

"I am… "

Before He Linzhou finished speaking, Wen Xunchuan interrupted in a cold voice: "Call me one more time and you will die."

He Linzhou smiled and said, "Hey, hey, I'm just joking, something really happened this time."

Wen Xunchuan closed his eyes, and said angrily: "Say."

"Shall we have a date?" He Linzhou said.

Wen Xunchuan said without thinking, "No."

He Linzhou didn't expect him to refuse so readily. He raised his head, looked at the back of his head through the moonlight that came in through the gap of the undrawn curtains, and asked suspiciously: "Don't you like me? Why don't you do it?"

Wen Xunchuan was so sleepy that he couldn't be bothered to wonder where he, a neurotic with a strange brain circuit, came to the conclusion "you like me", so he casually said: "You are poor."

He Linzhou was speechless, and it took him a long time to say: "...fuck."

"Why are you so narrow-minded." He had some displeasure on his face, "I am the only child."

Wen Xunchuan snorted out of his nose with great carelessness: "Yes."

"My father probably doesn't have any illegitimate children." He Linzhou thought about it for a while, and then said, "I'm not afraid if I have any. As long as my mother is here, no one else can get a piece of the He family."

Wen Xunchuan snorted again: "Yes."

He Linzhou clicked his tongue, and there was a little pride in his voice, "My family's property will be mine sooner or later. Are you afraid that you will have no money in the future if you are good with me?"

Wen Xunchuan still said, "Yes."

He Linzhou supported his head, lightly poked his back from behind, and said, "So why don't you find a partner?"

"No." Wen Xunchuan still said without thinking.

He Linzhou poked it again and asked, "Why?"

Wen Xunchuan frowned and patted his hand away, and said impatiently, "Because you are poor now."

He Linzhou was silent for a while, but he still couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "...Damn it, why didn't I see that you hate the poor and love the rich so much?"

"You're blind." Before he could answer, Wen Xunchuan continued to stop him, "I'm telling you for the last time, shut up from now on, and get out if you talk again."

"..." He Linzhou lay down flat, staring at the dark ceiling, paused for a while, then stood up and looked at the back of Wen Xunchuan's head, and said, "Then let me do it once."

As soon as the words fell, Wen Xunchuan raised his hand and patted the overhead light switch by the bed and sat up: "Did I just say that?"

The flashing light made He Linzhou's eyes flash, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to cover his eyes and said, "What..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Xunchuan with a livid face raised his leg and kicked He Linzhou's waist hard.

He Linzhou was caught off guard and fell to the ground with the quilt in his arms. He raised his head and stared at the person on the bed: "Are you fucking sick?"

Immediately afterwards, a pillow flew towards his head, accompanied by an unbearable growl: "Get out!"

A minute later, He Linzhou curled up on the narrow and hard tatami with Chunmei in his arms, and couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, you have a bad temper, what a fuck."
