of it
So he continued to stare, but unexpectedly, Bai Cheng threw the sponge into the pool, splashing a pile of detergent bubbles, and one of them even flew to his bangs. He backed away abruptly.
Ling Chennan was stunned, his hands were hanging in mid-air awkwardly, Bai Sheng said: "You! Don't stare at me here, go to the living room!"
Ling Chennan was a little bit shocked, he withdrew his hand and said, "Oh." After walking two steps, he turned and pointed to the stack on his right hand, and said, "Those haven't been washed clean."
"You!" Bai Cheng was furious, and rushed over with his hands full of bubbles to drive him away.
Ling Chennan had the feeling of being kicked out of the rabbit's nest by a rabbit, so he found out his fancy pajamas and packed them up. Not long after, Bai Sheng came out of the kitchen, saw him ready to go, and said, "Yes, I'm going back."
Ling Chennan nodded, and Bai Sheng also nodded.
That awkward atmosphere came back again, Ling Chennan swallowed the non-existent saliva, and was about to leave, when Bai Cheng suddenly said: "Wait, I, I'll put on some clothes and send you downstairs."
Ling Chennan didn't understand, so: "You have an injury on your knee, don't go upstairs or downstairs."
Bai Sheng said, "The elevator, it's fine!"
He ran back to the house, grabbed a coat and rushed out, Ling Chennan frowned at the sight: "This is not good, it's too thin."
Bai Sheng said, "Just go downstairs, it won't be cold!"
Ling Chennan put on a straight face: "Then don't go."
Bai Cheng wrinkled his nose and puffed up his cheeks, grabbed the big scarf on the stool and huh huh huh wrapped up half of his face, and said through the wool in a low voice, "That's it! That's it!"
It's getting more and more fierce, Ling Chennan thought, and said, "Let's go."
Bai Sheng followed behind him, even though he only went downstairs, he habitually locked the door three times.
With his hands in his coat pockets and his face buried in the scarf, he turned back into the "Baisheng Little Rice Dumpling". Ling Chennan tilted his head to look at him, and thought it was amazing, changing his personality was like changing a different person. More than a dozen hours ago, the hummingbird who was standing with him in the elevator with a displeased attitude was dragged to the sky. Now, the combed bangs are soft and fluffy, as if the thorns all over his body have been pulled out.
The tips of Bai Cheng's ears exposed above the scarf started to turn red again, and the eyes under the long eyelashes were also sparkling. Ling Chennan finally realized belatedly that he was being too straightforward.
Then he remembered Hummingbird's words more belatedly—"That guy has been following you secretly for a long time."
No, no, no, no, Ling Chennan shook his head violently in his heart, wondering if the hummingbird was talking nonsense, empathy, all of this is empathy.
But what happened next made him clearly realize the correctness of the hummingbird's remarks.
The two walked out of the corridor together, without speaking to each other, standing side by side silently without looking at each other.
Then, a white light appeared in the distance, it was the headlights of the car, Ling Chennan stretched his neck: "Ah, the car is coming, then you go back..."
As he spoke, he turned his head and found that Bai Sheng was very close. His face was filled with the heroic emotion of a hero who died generously, but his eyes were full of tension and fear. Ling Chennan was stunned, and then, somehow, his lips were softly kissed, and a cool nose tip was pressed against his cheek.
Some god was probably angry, because the ground began to shake violently, the air became very thin, and the time became extremely long.
This must be Judgment Day! Ling Chennan thought, otherwise, why would my skin burn, and my fingertips turned into ashes and scorched dead wood.
Then all of a sudden the heat disappeared again, Bai Sheng's face moved away, taking away all the fire source, causing his skin to freeze again, so that if he touched it, he would be dangerously frozen.
Bai Sheng took a few steps back in a panic, stammering and trying to explain: "I, I..."
He failed, and finally yelled, "Yes, sorry, I was wrong, sorry!"
Then he ran away quickly and disappeared in the corridor.
Ling Chennan still stood there, unable to recover, until someone beside him yelled at him: "Hey! Can't you go!"
He woke up suddenly and turned to see the taxi driver looking at him impatiently through the window.
"Go, cough, let's go." It was only when he opened his mouth that he realized that his throat was so dry, so he tried to take a step forward and stepped on the ground in front of him.
The earthquake stopped, and the wrath of God was quenched.
[12th Week Friday]
Bai Sheng disappeared from his life.
First of all, last Friday, Bai Sheng canceled his appointment with him, which was naturally caused by himself, but it doesn't mean that he can't feel melancholy at this unexpected four in the afternoon. This time period has not been filled by new guests, and he was able to spend the weekend early after a long absence.
The nasty colleagues didn't understand his troubles at all, and blamed him for losing an eye-catching guest.
Then on weekends, Bai Sheng never sent him a text message to report on his daily life, never sent him a picture of food packaging to ask him to identify it, or asked him whether the dumplings were cooked in cold water or boiling water, and he was never locked out of the door to ask him for help.
Even the hummingbird didn't come to him to make any self-aware remarks, and all the arrogant anger drifted away, as if it never existed.
Then there is Wednesday, which is a regular day when Bai Sheng and Lu Baizhou meet. You don't need to wait for him to pick you up with sleepy eyes, you don't need to hide behind him nervously, and you don't need to invite him to dinner with joy—— He is full of interest, but frowns when he sees milk.
In this way, one day, two days, the time passed slowly, from the very beginning once a week, to later more and more frequent, and now disappeared for a whole week and a day.
Would he still wake up at night to be someone else? Will you still be frightened by strange calls? Does he know how to change the dressing for the wound on his knee? Did he treat Lu Baizhou with the same care as when he first met him
Then what? He will slowly start to trust the other party, put down the charged protective gear, revealing the soft belly, drowsy in the dim consultation room, pouring out his thoughts.
It was still very cold, but Ling Chennan didn't drive. He got off the subway at the platform two stops away from home, and walked alone on the street in early spring.
Bai Sheng was such a person who walked more than ten blocks to his clinic.
Then Ling Chennan remembered that kiss again.
Superficial, lightning and thunderous, kiss.
I blame myself for stepping on the boundary too vaguely, knowing the other party's incomplete intentions, but giving the other party wrong expectations.
Scared him away.
My reaction at that time must have been terrible, and the other party must regret it now, feel that I am very stupid, and I will never dare to take the initiative to extend my tentacles to search for him again. After all, it took all of my courage to contact him for the first time, and I still couldn't completely rely on my own ability to achieve it.
That's fine, they should have kept their distance, that's what he expected, isn't it
This is exactly what you expected, Ling Chennan said to himself.
If only it would be two years after waking up tomorrow, if Bai Sheng had become a healthy and cheerful person again as soon as he opened his eyes, and they would not have to tread on eggshells to test each other, but could be like a pair of normal acquaintances Go out to eat, play ball, watch movies, instead of measuring the scale all the time, as if the magic will disappear at 12 o'clock.
However, he couldn't help thinking that Bai Sheng's excessive attention to himself was nothing more than a desperate call for help at the bottom of the cliff. He saw himself as if he saw anyone passing by with a rope, and this emotion was projected into him slowly recovering... No, it will disappear after he finishes his treatment and transfers the projected object.
After all he had been gone for a week and a day.
However, Ling Chennan thought again that by that time, Shen Yinchuan, the biggest hidden danger, would return to the sky.
Ling Chennan thought about it carefully this week, and probably came up with some guesses—the hummingbird who will appear and violently resist and protect everyone when he is criticized, and the toffee who is innocent and speechless and can't feel pain, these two probably exist. It's been a long time, and the two of them—especially Hummingbird, have complete and mature personalities, which may not have been developed recently, but it is estimated that the chance of exposure is not high when the main personality is emotionally stable. However, after getting acquainted with Shen Yinchuan, Bai Sheng, who was originally talented and independent, suffered a new round of mental torture. The main personality began to disintegrate, and he was no longer in a position of complete control.
It is difficult for me to touch those long past events that caused Bai Sheng's split personality for some reason, and it is not easy to get my hands on the matter of integrating personality, but Shen Yinchuan's words... I should be able to do something.
Ling Chennan sighed in the cold wind at dusk - no, wouldn't this run counter to the idea of keeping a distance.
He shook his head, pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and tried to throw all the miscellaneous thoughts on the side of the road. He looked up and saw a familiar figure standing next to the parking space downstairs.
"Bai..." He said in surprise, "Hummingbird?"
The tip of the other person's nose and eyes were red from the cold, and he probably saw him coming, but he didn't notice the other person, looking at him full of anger.
"Yes, it's me!" Bai Sheng said.
"Bai Sheng?" Ling Chennan was even more surprised: "Why are you here?"
Seeing his hesitation, Bai Sheng's eyes became even redder: "I didn't, I didn't follow the doctor, I just don't know any excuse... I don't have an excuse to see the doctor, and I don't want to ask Hummingbird to do this kind of thing, so I found it myself." , I didn’t go to other places to inquire, I just stood here and waited.”
The other party spoke in a hurry, and Ling Chennan was still very surprised when the preamble didn't match the words: "It's so cold outside, just give me a call."
