When Xu Xinghe saw the few short words sent by Ling Changfeng, his whole body was refreshed instantly.
He sat up with a jerk, and continued to send emails asking: [Why are you here? ? ]
Ling Changfeng replied through a door: [Come to chat with you]
Xu Xinghe: […]
I didn't mean that either.
He glanced in the direction of the door, and began to type with some hesitation: [No, no, I wanted to chat with you online, it's so late so I won't disturb your rest, you go back first]
A long paragraph was typed, but the finger did not press the send button for a long time.
When he closed his eyes, the horror scene in the movie still appeared in his mind, Xu Xinghe wrapped the quilt tightly, and suddenly felt a little annoyed that he didn't live up to it.
I have to admit that in such a silent night, he actually misses the pheromone smell of Ling Changfeng so much—it will make him feel at ease for no reason.
He stared at the screen for two seconds, and finally decided to ask Ling Changfeng to come in and have a chat.
But just as he was about to get up, his finger unexpectedly touched the send button on the screen.
Xu Xinghe was taken aback, jumped out of bed almost like a carp, then trotted all the way to the door with his slippers on, and opened the door slowly.
The person hadn't stood firm yet, and was almost about to throw himself under the action of inertia.
Outside the door, Ling Changfeng stood in place in dark gray silk pajamas, listening to Xu Xinghe rushing over in a hurry, when he opened the door, he almost bumped into himself.
"Be careful." He calmly stretched out his hand to help his little friend, and said in a low voice, "I'm not leaving, why are you in such a hurry?"
After a pause, he said again: "This door can also be opened by voice control, you don't need to run over by yourself."
Xu Xinghe: "..." I forgot in a hurry.
He stood firm with Ling Changfeng's hand, straightened up and patted his pajamas, and whispered: "I replied to the wrong email."
Ling Changfeng let out a "hmm", and his voice was also very soft: "I saw it."
His voice is deep and magnetic, and once he speaks lightly and slowly, his tone is unexpectedly gentle.
Xu Xinghe raised his head, only to see Ling Changfeng's pair of different pupils were cold and bright, and he didn't look sleepy at all.
But Xu Xinghe yawned uncontrollably.
Fear is real, sleepiness is real.
Originally, his fear was greater than sleepiness, so he tossed and turned, unable to sleep peacefully.
But after seeing Ling Changfeng himself, Xu Xinghe felt that he was not so afraid suddenly.
Ling Changfeng stood there steadfastly, like a towering tree, as if he didn't need the influence of pheromones at all to make him feel at ease.
As a result, the drowsiness intensified, and Xu Xinghe felt that his eyelids had sunk a lot, and the nerves that had been briefly cheered up by Ling Changfeng's visit also became dull again.
It was nearly three o'clock in the morning, and the entire Marshal's Mansion was silent.
The husband and wife stood at the door, staring at each other, speechless.
In the end it was Ling Changfeng who spoke first: "Are you cold?"
Xu Xinghe: "Huh?"
Ling Changfeng: "It's cold at night, go in and talk?"
Xu Xinghe: "Oh."
He turned sideways obediently and said, "Come in."
Ling Changfeng felt that Xu Xinghe was a little dazed right now.
He recalled a night not long ago, when his little spouse was very sleepy, it seemed that he would appear in such a dazed manner, and was easily confused.
He asked Xu Xinghe: "Are you sleepy?"
Xu Xinghe climbed onto the bed again, but instead of getting under the covers, he hugged a small pillow, leaned against the head of the bed, and yawned again: "Of course I'm sleepy...it's already three o'clock in the morning."
Ling Changfeng stopped two steps away from the bed and did not move forward.
The different pupils floated towards a certain fluffy creature on the bed: "Why did Xiao Qi go to bed?"
Xu Xinghe glanced sideways at Ms. Xiao Qi who was sleeping soundly: "I brought it up, looking for a companion."
After hearing this, Ling Changfeng pursed his thin lips slightly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Next time, you can come to me directly."
Xu Xinghe was startled, and turned his head to look at Ling Changfeng in an unclear manner, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.
And Ling Changfeng stood where he was, looking back quietly.
After a few seconds, Xu Xinghe suddenly looked away and lowered his head silently.
Ling Changfeng sighed silently in his heart, but suddenly saw Xu Xinghe move to the middle, vacating a seat beside the bed, and said in a muffled voice, "Sit."
Marshal Ling's eyes flickered slightly.
From his point of view, the little hedgehog on the opposite side drooped its head, and its fluffy head made people want to rub it twice.
He readily accepted the other party's proposal, walked forward, and sat down next to Xu Xinghe.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Xu Xinghe ask: "Why can't you fall asleep?"
Ling Changfeng hesitated for a second, whether to tell the truth or not. But when he saw Xu Xinghe's bewildered look, he couldn't help but want to tease him first—
"I was already asleep, but I was woken up by someone's news." Ling Chang said calmly.
Xu Xinghe was stunned for a few seconds, then whispered: "Sorry, then go back to sleep."
Ling Changfeng: "..."
He suddenly had the feeling of lifting a rock to shoot himself in the foot.
"Just kidding, I think someone might not be able to sleep right now." Ling Changfeng looked at him and said in a low voice.
Xu Xinghe was so sleepy that his reactions were several beats slower. Hearing what he said, he still didn't understand the causal relationship: "So?"
"So, I didn't sleep either." Ling Changfeng cast his gaze out of the window, "I wonder if you... need someone to accompany you."
Xu Xinghe blinked: "Oh, thank you then."
Ling Changfeng: "...you're welcome."
The dialogue seems to suddenly develop in a harmonious and strange direction.
Xu Xinghe leaned against the head of the bed with a small pillow in his arms, tilted his head and asked Ling Changfeng: "Aren't you afraid?"
"afraid of what?"
"Ghosts, demons, and blood and bones..."
Ling Changfeng shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of these things."
"That's great." Xu Xinghe said enviously, "You don't seem to be afraid of anything."
Then he confessed, "I'm actually still scared."
Hearing that he suddenly stopped being stubborn, Ling Changfeng looked sideways in a little surprise, and glanced at him: "You are actually quite courageous, why are you afraid of this?"
Xu Xinghe frowned and thought for a while: "Maybe the horror movie I watched in junior high school scarred me... I was too young at that time."
There was a hint of dumbfounding in the different pupils, and a bit of helplessness: "Then you still watch it this time."
"It's been so many years, I thought it was all right." Xu Xinghe muttered.
He put down the pillow, put his hands around his knees, and rested his chin on his knees: "It seems that those bad memories really take a long, long time to forget..."
Hearing what he said, Ling Changfeng remembered something, his eyes darkened slightly, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, but no matter how bad the memory is, it will always be diluted by time."
"real?"
"real."
Outside the window, the moon and stars are scarce, the autumn wind is bleak, and the soft orange light sprinkles on the head of the bed, making tonight's night extraordinarily quiet.
Ling Changfeng suddenly realized that although the two of them had held hands and slept together, it seemed that they had never sat and chatted together in the dead of night like this before.
Xu Xinghe was already drowsy, but his mouth was still talking non-stop: "Although I'm a little scared, I'm still curious about the ending of that movie..."
Seeing his eyelids twitching, Ling Changfeng said, "Then when you wake up tomorrow, let's fast-forward it to the end to see the ending?"
Xu Xinghe shook his head like a rattle: "At the end of the fight against the boss, there will definitely be super bloody and violent horror scenes... I can watch the coded version of the video commentary after dawn."
Ling Changfeng: "..."
He didn't quite understand this kind of interest, but he still nodded: "Okay, then do you need me to watch it with you?"
Xu Xinghe closed his eyes, and replied: "No need, my endurance is not that bad."
Ling Changfeng looked at him: "Are you going to sleep?"
Xu Xinghe nimbly slid into the bed like a little snake, only showing his head: "Yes."
"Are you still conscious now?"
Xu Xinghe didn't open his eyes, and yawned again: "Of course, I'm not drunk."
Ling Changfeng nodded, and slowly got up: "Then go to sleep, I'll go back first, good night."
Just as he was about to leave after speaking, he was suddenly grabbed by the corner of his pajamas.
Ling Changfeng turned his head in surprise, only to see Xu Xinghe opened his eyes, a pair of dark deer eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in the sleepy situation: "Although I know that saying this may be a bit too much—"
He opened his mouth, hesitated for two seconds, but finally let go and said: "Forget it, I won't disturb your rest, good night."
Ling Changfeng was pulled so lightly by him, as if he was gently hooked in place by a small hook, and he couldn't move anymore.
He asked Xu Xinghe: "What do you want to say?"
Xu Xinghe Nuonuo said: "It's nothing, just, in case I get scared again later..."
Ling Changfeng asked persistently: "Then what should we do?"
Xu Xinghe's eyes dodged a little: "It's too late, you should also go to rest."
After all, he simply closed his eyes.
After a while, I felt that the person in front of me hadn't left.
The reassuring faint smell of pheromone has always surrounded him. It was originally a good medicine to help sleep, but now it exudes a sense of existence that cannot be ignored.
In the quiet night, Xu Xinghe opened his eyes again, and suddenly said: "You can carry Xiao Qi down."
Ling Changfeng stood at the head of the bed, looking at him quietly: "Huh?"
Xu Xinghe whispered: "It's too late, it's not convenient for you to toss back and forth... How about sleeping here tonight?"
For a moment, Marshal Ling suspected that he couldn't control the corners of his mouth that turned up slightly.
But in the end, with a calm and unruffled posture, he first hugged Xiao Qi, who was sleeping sprawled in the middle of the big bed, out of the bed, and then lifted a corner of the quilt in an orderly manner, He lay down in a well-behaved manner.
"I'm here, don't be afraid." He said to Xu Xinghe, "Good night."
Xu Xinghe finally closed his eyes with peace of mind: "Good night."
I fell asleep for a long time.
When Xu Xinghe woke up from his sleep and opened his eyes again refreshed, he found that it was still dark and the room was still dark.
"woke up?"
A familiar voice came to his ears, and Xu Xinghe turned his head to look at the sound. Ling Changfeng had gotten up and cleaned up at some point, and was sitting on a small sofa not far away, using a portable tablet computer to read documents under the lamp. .
Xu Xinghe was startled, and gradually recalled everything that happened last night.
He said dryly, "Morning."
After all, I felt something was wrong, the room was dark, what time is it now
Ling Changfeng raised his eyelids and said, "It's not very early. I saw you were in a deep sleep, so I closed the curtains."
As soon as the extremely blackout curtains were opened, the sun was shining brightly outside the window.
Xu Xinghe blinked: "It's noon?"
Ling Changfeng nodded: "Yes."
Xu Xinghe stretched, lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "I'll go wash up first..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
He suddenly looked at the big sun outside the window, his body froze all of a sudden: "What day is it today?"
Ling Changfeng: "Tuesday."
Xu Xinghe sat dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly let out a wailing voice: "Ah, today is a working day!!"
He quickly raised his hand to turn on the smart phone - he turned the volume to mute while watching a movie last night, but forgot to turn it back, and his phone has probably been blown up at this moment!
As a result, the imaginary full screen of missed calls did not appear, and the call log was actually calm.
How is this going? Didn't anyone notice that they didn't go to work?
Seeing his reaction, Ling Changfeng also knew why he was surprised, so he explained: "I asked for leave for you."
Xu Xinghe turned to look at him in bewilderment: "Huh?"
Ling Changfeng put down his optical brain, stood up and said unhurriedly, "Come and eat."
