Chapter 21
Chapter 21
"Why is the bed wet, water splashed on it?"
Xie Zeyue was slightly taken aback.
"Hmm...the lid is not screwed on."
Xu Ling didn't know why, but suddenly felt a little nervous.The collarbone of his slightly open pajamas revealed a white and straight collarbone, and his white fingers held the culprit - his cup, and put it on the bedside table.
"Fortunately, it's hot water. Ice water can freeze you to death."
Xie Zeyue slowly put away the exercise book, put the pen into the pen holder, stood up and walked over to read it.
There was a small piece of dark water stain on Xu Ling's bed sheet, half of the water in the cup was spilled on it, the wet piece was still spreading to more places.
"Use a paper towel to absorb it," Xie Zeyue picked up the paper towels on the bedside table, took a few with his fingers and put them on to absorb water, and then said nonchalantly, "Hold your quilt over here, it won't get wet in a while."
Xu Ling then lifted the quilt and turned around wearing slippers on bare feet, but before he bent down to pick up the quilt, he found that Xie Zeyue had already fixed it for him.
"Thank you."
Xu Ling didn't know what to do, hesitated slightly, and looked at him.
"you are welcome."
Xie Zeyue looked at him, the corners of his lips curved.
Next door to Xu Ling, Xie Zeyue put two quilts on the 1.3-meter small bed.The color varies from dark to light, but all are soft.
It looked a little crowded, but it was warm.
"I sleep on your bed at night?"
Standing by the bed, Xu Ling asked in a trance, her fingers tightened.
"if not."
Xie Zeyue raised her eyebrows, pulled the chair away with one hand, sat down again, and looked at him with her head propped up: "Go and lie down, you'll catch cold easily standing here."
Xu Ling then climbed onto the bed, lifted the quilt and got in.
Xie Zeyue has always had a characteristic - if Xu Ling doesn't do what he thinks should be done immediately, he will gently but firmly repeat it over and over again until Xu Ling completes it.
Although he never lost his temper, Xu Ling really couldn't handle this trick.
So generally Xu Ling complied with whatever he asked for - such as not staying up late, or not walking around in pajamas in cold weather.
Xu Ling nestled under the quilt.
The quilt was his own, but the bed was Xie Zeyue's.
Xie Zeyue's familiar breath rushed towards her face, like a clean pine forest, like a gust of wind, and disappeared after a while.
Xu Ling looked down at the news, then clicked on the file.He tapped on the screen and wrote a report, maybe it will come in handy on the weekend.
Just finished writing, when I looked up, I saw Xie Zeyue's back under the lamp.
He has the typical clean breath of a boy of this age, and sometimes, is a little cute.
Xu Ling thought quietly, maybe, God couldn't bear to let a person like him die, so he gave himself another chance to start over?
Thinking about it, I can't help feeling a little sad.
No matter what, the him that Xu Ling knew in the past is no longer there.
Xu Ling took a book on the bedside table, the English version of "Flying Birds".
Look through.
Hastily glanced at it.
On the title page of the book, a sentence comes into view:
——Let life be beautiful like summer flowers And Death like autumn leaves.
Xu Ling's vision seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, and suddenly blurred for a moment.
Eyes slightly sore.
As if aware of Xu Ling's gaze, Xie Zeyue looked back suddenly, and slightly raised her eyebrows: "What are you looking at me for?"
Xu Ling raised the quilt a little more, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Shall we sleep on two quilts at night?"
Xie Zeyue let out a "huh", but her ears were a little red, but she laughed again: "A little crowded? I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well."
There was a few seconds of silence.
Xu Ling shook her head, put down her phone, and got in: "It's okay."
He thought, maybe they are sleeping in the same bed, which is a bit dangerous in a sense. At night, it is easy to rub against each other, and it is easy to shoot a gun.
Xie Zeyue supported his head with one hand, looked at him under the lamp, and a thought flashed through:
—— Xu Ling not only does not reject physical contact with him, it seems that, on the contrary, he likes it very much.
The night wind blew loudly outside the window.
Xie Zeyue was in a good mood when he heard the wind.
Xu Ling had already fallen asleep.
In order not to disturb his rest, Xie Zeyue turned off the desk lamp, got up, sorted out the exercise book and draft paper on the table, and pushed back the chair cautiously.
Xu Ling listened to the movements in the dormitory.
The rustling, deliberately light footsteps.
Xie Zeyue finished washing slowly and came out in her pajamas.
The two looked at each other.
After a few seconds.
From the corner of her eye, Xu Ling caught a glimpse of the hem of his dark clothes, which was slightly wet with water.
"You haven't slept yet?"
With a smile on Xie Zeyue's lips, he stretched out a finger and brushed the hair on his forehead: "Why, can't sleep?"
Xu Ling blinked and looked at him: "I'm waiting for you."
Xie Zeyue said "Oh", smiled, and walked around to the other side.
Xu Ling felt a slight vibration, and then the bedside lamp went out, and the bedroom was pitch black.
He was lying beside him, close at hand.
A silence.
Both of them could hear their breathing.
Even the sound of a heartbeat.
However, the bed is too small, put two thick quilts, and soon more than half of them will slide down.
As soon as Xu Ling turned over, she had to pull up the slipped quilt from under the bed from time to time to tuck in the corners of the quilt.
A familiar voice came from his ear:
"Or, you can put the quilt back."
Xie Zeyue turned over in black pajamas with collared collar, and in the night, a pair of black pupils stared at him quietly.
Xu Ling paused slightly, "Huh?"
Xie Zeyue smiled, opened a corner of the quilt while lying on her side, and asked, "Why don't you sleep in? Maybe, it won't be so crowded."
Xu Ling's heart shrank slightly, and the hot air continued to permeate her face.
"OK, all right."
He lifted his quilt, rolled it up again, and placed it at the end of his bed where it was not wet.
Afterwards, he hesitated slightly, and got into a warm bed.
Heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Sensing the body behind her, she hugged him lightly, wrapping her arms around him. Xie Zeyue was wearing a very thin pajamas and pajamas, so a warm and vivid feeling was almost too clear.
Xu Ling closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
......Help, this is too difficult, are they going to hug and sleep all night like this?
Xu Ling tried her best to ignore the warm breath on her neck and the weight of his arms on her body, but she couldn't ignore a certain physiological reaction of her own.
"What are you hugging me for?"
Xu Ling asked in a low voice, her ears burning.
"I'm used to it." Xie Zeyue was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Are you disgusted by this?"
"No. Can you... stand back a little?"
Xu Ling's voice was slightly hoarse.
"Ok?"
Xie Zeyue made a nasal sound, and after a while, his long fingers moved, and said, "Is it uncomfortable to hold you like this?"
Xu Ling let out a "hmm".
Xie Zeyue stepped back a little, let go of him, and said softly, "Sorry."
Xu Ling let out a breath slowly.
Xie Zeyue asked him again: "What's wrong?"
Xu Ling blushed and said nothing.
After a while, he casually found an excuse: "I...are afraid of the cold."
As she spoke, she touched his warm calf with her foot, smiled, and said, "It's so warm."
"..."
He noticed that Xie Zeyue paused briefly.
Xu Ling turned over, she wasn't so nervous anymore, instead she deliberately stuffed her feet into his legs, and said with a smile, "Is it ice?"
hiss.
Xie Zeyue gasped.
next second.
Xu Ling felt that his feet were held by his hands, which were very hot, and the strength could not be ignored.
Xie Zeyue stared at Xu Ling, raised the corners of her lips, and said, "It's really cold."
Xu Ling: "!"
At that moment, for some reason, he felt heat rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, his heart was beating like a drum, and his face flushed instantly.
"In the future, how about warming your bed for you. Huh?"
He lowered his head slightly, fixed his ankle with his long and thin fingers under the quilt, and rubbed it unconsciously.
Xu Ling took a breath and looked at him: "Don't do this."
Xie Zeyue raised her eyebrows, tightened her fingers slightly, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Xu Ling's heartbeat gradually accelerated.
He struggled a few times and realized that Xie Zeyue had let go of his hand.
Only then was he relieved slowly.
- That's right.
Xu Ling knew that nothing would happen to him, if he wanted distance, Xie Zeyue would keep it, he had an absolute sense of security.
Xie Zeyue quietly stopped "disturbing" him.
But Xu Ling went to look for his hand.
Hooked.
Sleeping with him, Xu Ling didn't think about anything.
But the mood is very nervous, at the same time very looking forward to, very flustered.
They haven't seen it for a long time.
Xu Ling fell asleep, but said, "Turn around."
Xu Ling saw how well-behaved he was, so she reached out to touch his face and the tip of his nose.
The two face each other.
Xu Ling's white fingertips touched Xie Zeyue's lips, lower jaw, Adam's apple.
Xu Ling lowered her eyes and said, "Your Adam's apple is so beautiful."
The line of Xie Zeyue's Adam's apple is very obvious, under the light touch of his fingertips, it slides slightly.
Xie Zeyue grabbed his hand and said in a low voice, "Don't touch it."
Xu Ling raised her eyebrows and smiled softly: "I'm complimenting you."
Xie Zeyue: "..."
He closed his eyes reluctantly.
Xu Ling went down again, touching it tentatively... He wanted to know if he would respond if he slept in the same bed like this?
It's a pity that Xie Zeyue held his hand in the middle of the way, and he ordered in his ear, "Sleep."
The voice is not too cold, gentle, but gives a very firm feeling.
Xu Ling withdrew her hand.
He also knew that it was inappropriate and crossed the line.
But he just wanted to know Xie Zeyue's reaction - as a straight man, would he be sensitive to same-sex touch?
Xu Ling didn't answer.
But he found that Xie Zeyue is not the kind of straight man who has no sense of boundaries and can watch movies with his brothers.
The corners of Xu Ling's lips lifted slightly, he turned over and fell asleep.
After half an hour.
Xie Zeyue hugged him from behind again, buried the tip of her nose into the hollow of his neck, and breathed lightly.
But this time, Xu Ling really fell asleep.
The next day, when Xu Ling woke up, she found that the quilt beside her was empty.
Where did he go?
Xu Ling touched the phone on the bedside table, clicked on WeChat, and saw a post from him.
image.
The starry sky at night seems to be the perspective of looking out from the window.It was pitch black, with faint shadows of mottled trees.
——goodnight.
A link under Moments is a song.
Posted at three o'clock in the morning.
Xu Ling: "..."
He didn't sleep well?
Otherwise, what are you doing to suppress the clouds here at three o'clock in the morning?
A few common friends below asked:
- "Hey, thank you, you haven't slept yet?"
- "I stay up late, and the boss also stays up late, I = the boss"
- "Did Xu Ling not sleep? What are you two doing hehehe?"
- "Insomnia, of course it's because of his first love!"
Xu Ling: "..."
He rubbed his face and woke up.
After a while, the door was opened a crack from the outside, Xie Zeyue walked in, carrying the breakfast with his slender fingers, not at all drowsy from staying up late, but looking sober.
Xie Zeyue put breakfast on the bedside table, sat on Xu Ling's bed, and lifted the bottle of hot milk with one hand: "Are you awake?"
Xu Ling took the milk from him, and the temperature touched by her fingers was still warm.He said "thank you" and sat up: "Is it restless when I sleep?"
Xie Zeyue lowered her head slightly and said, "No."
Xu Ling found the straw with her fingers and inserted it into the milk carton: "But, you didn't fall asleep until three o'clock in the morning last night."
Xie Zeyue put one hand on the bedside table and looked at him for a few seconds: "I drank too much coffee."
Xu Ling's pupils were black and bright: "Really?"
Xie Zeyue tilted her head and raised her eyebrows slightly: "It's fake."
