You Caught My Attention

Chapter 20

Although he had slept until this point, Chu Hang still had a headache.

Because of the troubles caused by auditory and visual hallucinations, Chu Hang hasn't been sleeping well recently. He finally changed to the seaside environment last night and felt relaxed and sleepy, but he didn't sleep well. He actually had nightmares of sleep paralysis the whole night!

The dream was so real that it was scary. Chu Hang always felt that there was a pair of hands holding him tightly in his sleep, holding him tightly and unable to move. He finally turned over and broke free from the shackles, but the other party would soon entangle him again, hanging on him like a koala with his hands and feet, or more accurately, like a lock in close combat. Chu Hang was so sleepy that he couldn't get rid of the other party. He could only subconsciously keep dodging to the other side of the bed. As a result, the other party took advantage of him and soon stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster. Chu Hang slept very badly all night.

It was not until the next day, when he heard the sound of someone turning over beside him, that Chu Hang suddenly remembered that he did not sleep alone last night. Xu Yu should have been lying on the double bed. This guy sleeps so badly that he will probably kick his wife out of bed in the middle of the night and he will never be able to find her.

However, not only did Xu Yu have a terrible sleeping posture, he also began tossing and turning early in the morning, and a pair of hands began to reach out to him. Chu Hang restrained him in a daze, his voice hoarse.

Chu Hang was almost embarrassed, not knowing whether he was still sleepy or not. He knew it was Xu Yu, but the hand he was holding felt too small and delicate. It didn't feel like a boy's hand, but more like a girl's hand. Chu Hang just felt a little unnatural.

But when he lifted the quilt with a cold face and looked to the other side of the bed, ready to ask for an explanation, the face that appeared in front of him was not Xu Yu, but Tan Yin's.

Although Chu Hang still maintained his composure, his heart instantly felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. Has his hallucination become so serious? He actually began to imagine Tan Yin in his own bed? ! Xu Yu was not there, so the hands that touched him just now were indeed Tan Yin's in his imagination? !

Everything in his vision was naturally illogical. For example, at this moment, Tan Yin was lying on his bed, looking natural and relaxed, as if she was in an empty space, as if Chu Hang didn't exist at all. She even yawned twice without any image, and then stretched. As she moved, her already loose T-shirt on her chest also slid down, revealing the faintly visible chest line. She looked like she was only wearing a T-shirt, with nothing underneath...

She just lay there, her skin was white, her lips were red, and she looked directly at Chu Hang without any hesitation.

Chu Hang looked away in panic for the first time. He stared at the curtains in the room, trying to calm himself down in this situation.

Tan Yin beside the bed looked so real, so real that Chu Hang was in a trance. Should he touch her? Could it be real

But soon, Chu Hang got rid of this crazy idea in his mind. It was bad enough to have hallucinations. If he followed the illusion and touched the void, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? Chu Hang's tutor did not allow him to do this, because a person with strong willpower would not be defeated by such hallucinations!

Ignore!

Just ignore it!

Except that apart from his usual disregard for the Dharma, Chu Hang felt that he needed a cold shower.

*****

With the shelter of the thunderstorm, Tan Yin continued to lie on the bed with peace of mind. She looked at Chu Hang beside her and lifted the quilt. Perhaps he was wondering why Xu Yu did not come back to sleep that night. His expression when he looked at her side of the bed was quite unpredictable. He seemed to be shocked by the fact that Xu Yu did not come home all night. His eyes looked a little unbelievable and overwhelmed. Fortunately, he finally cheered up soon. Tan Yin looked at him and prepared to get up. For a moment, she felt lonely and unable to communicate with anyone.

She looked at the ceiling and began to talk to herself: "Don't mention it, Chu Hang. The defenseless look you had just woken up was exactly the same as the one I drew for you in the comics. Innocent and sexy. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to control themselves on the spot."

Chu Hang naturally didn't react, but he paused as he probably couldn't find his slippers.

Tan Yin did not doubt him. She sighed and said proudly, "But I have seen a lot of things after all. You see, I have slept with your woman."

Tan Yin said, touching her chest: "But I really don't have any improper thoughts about you. Look, I'm lying in bed with you now, and my heartbeat hasn't sped up at all. I don't feel like a fluttering deer at all. I just feel like I'm as calm as an old dog."

As soon as Tan Yin finished speaking, she found Chu Hang taking off his pajamas shirt with his back to her. His face had a luxurious and elegant handsomeness, but his body was even more attractive than his face. Under his well-defined abdominal muscles was a half-hidden and half-exposed mermaid line, and further down...

"My heartbeat seems to be speeding up, but it's still not to the point where I can't control myself." Tan Yin sat up and thought seriously, "Am I asexual? I'm so stable in front of Chu Hang? That's not normal." Tan Yin thought about it and suggested to herself, "How about this, Chu Hang, why don't you take off your pants too, and I'll give it another try?"

Unfortunately, Chu Hang not only did not take off his pants, he paused, then put on his pajama top with a gloomy face, then pursed his lips and walked into the shower room...

Oh, maybe I don’t want to take a shower for the time being. However, just as Tan Yin thought this, the sound of running water came from the bathroom...

It is said that beautiful women have deep minds, and the same may be true for handsome men. Chu Hang's stripping and dressing are really hard to figure out.

While Chu Hang was taking a shower, Tan Yin quickly got up from the bed. She walked around the room twice and finally decided to choose the safest way to leave - waiting for Chu Hang to go out or Xu Yu to return to the room.

Just as she was sitting on the sofa waiting patiently, Chu Hang came out of the bathroom.

Even though it was raining, the weather at the seaside was still hot and humid. Chu Hang had just finished a cold shower, but as soon as he entered the room, his face was flushed with hot water. Tiny beads of sweat oozed out of the tip of his straight nose. His hair was not dry yet, and water was dripping down his beautiful neck. However, he was actually dressed neatly. And even though it was such a hot day, he was still dressed very tightly, and even buttoned up the collar of his shirt...

"When I first saw you dressed like this, I thought you were going to attend the National People's Congress!" Tan Yin walked around Chu Hang, "And your back is soaked with sweat. What's the point of taking a bath? You might as well take off your clothes. There's no one else here anyway. Or do you like this kind of see-through outfit after the sweat-soaked white shirt? Do you think it's more seductive? Do you want to show Xu Yu a beautiful woman coming out of the bath?"

Obviously, taking a bath should make one feel refreshed, but somehow, Tan Yin felt that Chu Hang's face became more and more gloomy. He seemed to be trying hard to suppress some emotion, and he wiped his hair with a bath towel as if venting his anger.

"Be gentle, be gentle. With your French ancestry and the habit of staying up late to do design work in the Department of Architecture, you will easily become bald. You must be gentle with your hair."

"By the way, have I heard of the modern poem "Hair Loss"? I think you should listen to it." Tan Yin cleared her throat and recited it with ups and downs and emotions, "'I am like a flower/held in the palm of God's hand/Every day/God says: She loves me, she doesn't love me, she loves me, she doesn't love me.../Damn it/Hurry up and agree to him!'"

After Tan Yin finished reading, she ignored Chu Hang's expression. She was immersed in the feeling of not having enough to say: "To be honest, this is the first time I have experienced the meaning of poetry. It's the first time I know that someone can write about hair loss in such a poetic way. It's really amazing..."

Tan Yin actually had a lot of comments on this poem. She originally wanted to share them with Jiang Yilu, but she was obsessed with toilet literature and ruthlessly rejected such elegant art.

Unfortunately, Tan Yin did not have the chance to express her inner feelings after reading the book, because a scream from the next room interrupted her.

“Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! You pervert!!! You pervert!!!”

This is Jiang Yilu's voice!

Almost immediately afterwards, there was a familiar male voice—

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Do I need to do anything to you? Let me warn you, deliberately fabricating and spreading fictitious facts is enough to defame others' personality and destroy their reputation. In serious cases, it is a crime of defamation. If you keep talking nonsense, I will sue you in court!"

This is actually Xu Yu? !

How could Xu Yu, who did not return home at night, end up in Jiang Yilu and his room

Tan Yin was confused, and Chu Hang also frowned, his expression was obviously troubled. The quarrel next door was escalating, and soon, the two people's voices, one louder than the other, came from far away and became clearer and clearer. They finally reached the door of Chu Hang's room.

"Chu Hang! Open the door!"

Chu Hang pursed his lips and opened the door, and saw Jiang Yilu and Xu Yu glaring at each other outside the door.

Even though Chu Hang was a calm person, he was a little shocked when he saw the five fingerprints on Xu Yu's face: "What's wrong with your face?"

"What happened? What else could it be?" Xu Yu covered his face and snorted as he walked into the room. He glared at Jiang Yilu who followed him in, "It was because of the beating by the she-devil!"

Jiang Yilu was furious: "Tell me clearly, who is the she-devil? You are a man, and you didn't sleep in your room in the middle of the night. You sneaked into my bed like a Japanese invader and slept with me all night. How dare you? If I tell others, will I still have a reputation? I don't even have a boyfriend!"

As a law student, Xu Yu was not willing to be outdone. He raised his eyebrows and said, "I saw you were shouting quite loudly just now, as if you wanted to let the whole world know that we slept in the same room. I thought you were going to use public opinion to force me to confirm this, and then I would have to fall in love with you!"

Jiang Yilu immediately took off her slippers and chased after Xu Yu to beat him up.

Xu Yu couldn't lay a hand on the girl, so he could only pull Chu Hang as a shield to dodge. As time went by, Chu Hang was hit by Jiang Yilu's slippers. Several gray footprints were clearly printed on his white shirt, and Chu Hang's already dark face looked even darker.

Although Tan Yin was present, due to her invisibility, she could only watch from the sidelines.

Finally, Chu Hang showed his power and intimidated the two people: "Alright, stop it." Chu Hang frowned, his voice was cold, and his face vividly interpreted the three words "headache". He looked at Xu Yu: "What's going on? Why didn't you go back to your room and went to the next room?"

It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything. Once he talked about it, Xu Yu felt very aggrieved: "In the end, this is your fault, Chu Hang. Didn't you tell me to leave the door open for me last night? But when I arrived at the door, it was already locked. I was drunk at the time and my head was dizzy. I thought I had walked into the wrong place, so I went to the next room and turned the door and it opened. I naturally thought that this was the door you left for me, and I didn't think much about it. I saw that there was indeed a human figure under the quilt on the bed, so I thought you had already fallen asleep, so I went to bed and slept too. Who would have thought that when I woke up this morning, I saw her face, which scared me to death."

"What scared you? My face is so beautiful without any makeup. How could you be scared? You know how long you stared at my face after you woke up!"

"I stared at you because I thought I was still dreaming! I thought I was hallucinating and mistook Chu Hang for you!"

Chu Hang pursed his lips and frowned as he listened to Jiang Yilu and Xu Yu talking back and forth. He was confused, as he clearly remembered that he had not locked the door last night, as he had left it open for Xu Yu. But when he went to open the door just now, he found that it was indeed locked.

Jiang Yilu was still arguing with Xu Yu: "You said it as if I, the victim, was responsible. Because I didn't lock the door, you could just come in drunk?!"

"How can you be so unreasonable?" Xu Yu said helplessly, "I apologized to you as soon as I realized I walked into the wrong room. I was wrong. I said all that just to tell you that you can rest assured. I really did walk into the wrong room. I have absolutely no improper thoughts about you, not in this life. I, Xu Yu, only like gentle girls, not fierce ones!"

"… "

"Also, just because you didn't lock the door doesn't mean others can get in, but you're a girl, and the security of this beachfront homestay is not as good as that of a hotel. It's always a good idea for girls to have more self-protection awareness when traveling..."

"I didn't lock the door because I wanted to wait for Tan Yin to come back! Are you trying to extend this to victim blaming? Do you know that a sound rule of law society should mean that I don't lock my door at night and there is no illegal intrusion into the house..."

"What do you mean now? How do you want me to apologize? Do you think I should be responsible for you? But we slept in the same bed, and nothing else happened! Isn't this blackmail a bit too much?"

"Ha?! I want to scam you? I'm afraid you'll come to rely on me and I'll take responsibility for you. Xu Yu, let me tell you, if you're the only man left on earth in this life, I, Jiang Yilu, will choose to exterminate myself!"

Tan Yin stood aside, she looked at Chu Hang not far away with pity. Ever since Jiang Yilu and Xu Yu started arguing, he had been unusually silent and looked extremely heavy. Tan Yin sighed, "Can you two stop arguing? Can you pay attention to Chu Hang's mood? Especially you, Xu Yu, saying in front of Chu Hang, 'I only like gentle girls', isn't this hurting Chu Hang's heart? It's miserable enough to fall in love with someone you shouldn't love! Save the child!"

Somehow, after Tan Yin finished speaking, Chu Hang, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke: "Where did Tan Yin go?"

"Why?"

"Since you left the door open for Tan Yin, where did Tan Yin go?"

Jiang Yilu glanced at the thunderstorm outside the window and said calmly, "Xu Yu locked the door after he came in to sleep. Tan Yin couldn't open the door and had nowhere to go. On a rainy day like this, she might have to sleep on the street. Oh! My poor sister!"

Seeing this moving expression, this trembling tone, and this genuine emotion, Tan Yin couldn't help but give Jiang Yilu a thumbs up. They are indeed good sisters!

"So, you haven't seen Tan Yin since last night, right?"

I don’t know if it was Tan Yin’s illusion, but Chu Hang’s voice always sounded very difficult. This sentence seemed to pop out word by word. With this tone, his expression was also very difficult to describe, as if he had suffered a major blow and finally began to face the reality and face the blood... He was so strong that even Tan Yin was moved...

Jiang Yilu shook her head: "I didn't see her. I was worried that she might catch a cold in the rain outside. Poor Tan Yin..."

Xu Yu naturally shrugged his shoulders: "I'm drunk, how would I know where she went."

Tan Yin was standing between the two people at the moment. She scratched her head helplessly and said, "Okay, the farthest distance in the world is not the distance between life and death, but when I stand in front of you and you don't know I'm here."

Although both looked unwilling, after Chu Hang's mediation, the two explained the matter clearly and finally brought this misunderstanding to an end.

Jiang Yilu was about to leave for her room while mumbling something. Before she left, she caught a glimpse of the takeout box on Chu Hang's desk. "Hey! Isn't this my takeout? No wonder I didn't receive it last night. It turned out to be delivered to your room! I took it."

Chu Hang stared at the takeaway box with some surprise. He frowned slightly and said, "Why don't I have any impression of bringing this thing in?"

"Maybe you are sleepwalking." Jiang Yilu said casually, "It is said that adults are prone to sleepwalking when their mental state is unstable or they are under too much psychological pressure. They may even have hallucinations. Chu Hang, you must pay attention to the Buddhist way of health preservation! Remember to wear knee pads when you go clubbing, drink beer and wolfberry, stay up late and apply a facial mask, so that you can live to the next century."

"… "

They were confused about the takeaway that went to the wrong place, but Tan Yin finally figured it out. She thought that the delivery man must have delivered the takeaway to the wrong door yesterday, and put the takeaway that should have been placed at Jiang Yilu's door at Chu Hang's door. She was dizzy last night, and just by seeing the takeaway at the door, she determined that it was Jiang Yilu's room. She also mistakenly thought that the door that Chu Hang left for Xu Yu was the one that Jiang Yilu left for herself, so she brought the takeaway in and locked the door. And because of this, there was the story of Xu Yu going to the wrong room...

Tan Yin had heard people say before that a tiny butterfly flapping its wings near the Amazon River could cause a storm in the entire region, and she scoffed at this. But now she knows that the butterfly effect is real!

The author has something to say: ps: The poem "Hair Loss" comes from Weibo post host Dashiji, who has applied for commercial authorization~

Fixed a minor bug~ In addition, in the setting, although Tan Yin is invisible, she can be touched and can touch others, but Chu Hang thinks it is an illusion, so he doesn't even want to touch her.

(Chu Hang’s inner thoughts: Seeing the hallucination is already crazy enough. If I really want to touch it, then the hallucination must be broken.)

Reader "2333"'s short theater

From the heroine's perspective: I was invisible and he couldn't see me, so who was touching him just now? This is a horror story.

Male protagonist's perspective: It was thundering again, and she was sitting on my bed and touching me. It turned out that she was peeping at my □□, so this is a horror story.
