Chapter 39
"Xiao Jiang?" Lin Xing repeated hesitantly, feeling that Jiang Chengyi's expression didn't look like he was joking.He turned to look at Chi Tong again, trying to find the answer from Chi Tong's expression.
"He's joking." Chi Tong explained, and he looked at Jiang Chengyi while talking, "Little Jiang, am I right?"
Jiang Chengyi immediately sobered up: "Haha, yes, I was just joking just now, anyway, it doesn't matter what you call this thing, you can call it whatever you want."
The crayfish juice in the soup pot was boiled, Lin Xing heard the sound and looked at it, stirred it again with a spoon, waited for a while and then turned off the fire, then picked up the soup pot, added a table mat and placed it in the middle of the dining table.
Because of this interruption, Lin Xing put the trivial matter of addressing to the back of his mind.
The bright red crayfish soaked in the soup and a variety of spice side dishes exude the aroma of being re-cooked.
Although the previous meal was just over an hour ago, it was no problem for the three grown men to solve the snack-like snacks in front of them.
The TV was randomly turned on to the sports channel, which basically served as the background sound and played behind the three of them.
Jiang Chengyi himself likes crayfish, a popular national snack in recent years, but he never touches them when he and Chi Tong go out to play.
But now Chi Tong is also wearing disposable gloves, looking down to peel the shrimp shells very seriously.
Chi Tong was a little clumsy, and this clumsiness did not refer to Chi Tong's movement of peeling shrimp, but the feeling he gave Jiang Chengyi when he got along with Lin Xing in this mood.Whether it is unfamiliar or not, Chi Tong wants to do well with all his heart.
He peeled one and wanted to give it to Lin Xing, but Lin Xing covered his bowl and refused: "I want to eat the one I peeled myself. To eat crayfish, there must be a process of peeling the shell."
Jiang Chengyi turned his eyes away from Chi Tong's hand, he didn't understand Lin Xing: "It's not good to eat ready-made ones?"
Lin Xing has his own reasons: "If crayfish eat shrimp meat directly, it is no different from eating ready-made shrimp. Similarly, there are ribs, duck necks and other foods. If you eat meat without bones, the fun will be greatly reduced. of."
Those who are close or far away, strangers who are just meeting for the first time, can more or less see the sharpness and inaccessibility of Chi Tong, it seems that only Lin Xing is not aware of it.
He just sat beside Chi Tong like this, his mouth was smacked red, and he was talking silly things that would be more fun with bones and thorns.
"How did you get together?" Jiang Chengyi blurted out this question.He has never been more curious about the answer to this question than he is now.
Lin Xing just took a sip of the soup inside the shrimp shell, and answered Jiang Chengyi's question very smoothly: "It's just that we got to know each other for a while and we got together."
Judging from Lin Xing's expression, it seems that there is really nothing special about this love affair, just like two passers-by on the street saw each other.
But the more this is the case, the more strange the combination of Lin Xing and Chi Tong is, like a pairing that can't be matched with eight hundred shots from all over the world.But there seems to be something that really fits.
Jiang Chengyi couldn't tell after eating a whole table of supper.The only thing he can be sure of is that when he was with Lin Xing, Chi Tong restrained his anger and depravity.And among all the possible love partners he had imagined for Chi Tong before, Lin Xing was the most suitable one.
As for the possible troubles caused by Lin Xing's gender, Jiang Chengyi believes that Chi Tong should have already considered it.
Jiang Cheng wanted to leave, Lin Xing sent him to the door, Chi Tong just received a call and went to the study to turn on the computer to deal with some work matters.
Jiang Chengyi looked at Lin Xing who was standing at the door without changing his shoes: "Shall I take you back to school?"
Lin Xing shook his head: "I live here."
The guest room has been cleaned up, and some of Lin Xing's things are placed in it.
Jiang Chengyi looked at him with wide eyes: "You, do you live together?"
Lin Xing explained seriously: "No, I just live here on weekends, I don't usually come here."
Lin Xing didn't talk about his plan to live longer next semester.
"I sleep in the guest room," Lin Xing said, adding in a low voice, afraid that Jiang Chengyi would have too much imagination, "Our current development is relatively flat."
This is Lin Xing's judgment on his relationship with Chi Tong.
Maybe this is considered conservative and gentle to others, but this is Chi Tong.Living in a house, sleeping in the same room is considered awesome, okay?
Seeing Lin Xing's ordinary expression, Jiang Chengyi was almost completely numb.
Lin Xing couldn't understand Jiang Chengyi's complex expression, and when the elevator door opened and closed, Lin Xing went back to the room and sat down on the sofa, just as Chi Tong came out of the study.
"He's gone?" Chi Tong asked.
"Yeah." Lin Xing nodded, "He seems a little strange."
"Where?" Chi Tong approached Lin Xing, put his hands on the back of the sofa behind Lin Xing's head from behind, leaned down and kissed Lin Xing's forehead.
He was asking knowingly, but he didn't want to hear Lin Xing's analysis of doubts.
Anyone who saw him standing with Lin Xing would find it strange, only Lin Xing hadn't noticed it.This is some kind of information gap, because of this kind of information gap, Chi Tong was able to stand beside Lin Xing naturally.Before the unequal cognition disappears, occupy Lin Xing's bright side as much as possible.
When everything is punctured, either Lin Xing pulls him out, or he pulls Lin Xing down.
Chi Tong thought that this was an obscene act of a despicable person trying to save himself, but he couldn't resist Lin Xing's unconscious hand stretched out to him.
The bright light came from the dining room, and the living room was slightly dark after Lin Xing turned off the TV just now.
Chi Tong leaned down against the backlight and blocked the light more and more. The broken hair on his forehead touched Lin Xing's temple, and it felt a little itchy.Lin Xing raised his head and kissed him lightly.When he was about to retreat, Chi Tong stretched out his hand to support the back of his neck, stopping Lin Xing's temperature from wanting to leave.
Chi Tong's figure completely enveloped Lin Xing.
The dark room was silent, and Chi Tong could clearly hear his own heartbeat.Boom, boom, boom.One sound after another, as if his heart was no longer in his chest, but jumped out of his body, beating falsely in front of his eyes and in his ears.
Darkness is a complex color for Chi Tong.It accompanied Chi Tong the longest, swallowing his loneliness, fear, and confusion.Darkness is like a certain partner of his, except that this partner will occasionally send back all or double the negative emotions that Chi Tong has taken away.
The evacuated emotions returned collectively, mixed with fragments of previous memories, pouring from Chi Tong's mind into his limbs and bones, as if trying to find an exit from his body, making him almost colic.
Chi Tong curled up into a ball, his body trembling slightly, but no matter what, he couldn't stop the memory as clear as yesterday from appearing in front of his eyes.
"I don't really want to play with him. My mother told me to play with him more. I think it's strange that he doesn't have parents."
"He didn't hand in his homework on Mother's Day!"
"Your mother was driven crazy by your Chi family, driven crazy by you, you bastard!"
"Look at the look in his eyes at a young age. It's really scary. I don't know what he can do when he grows up."
"He still has to live in his father's room. I get goosebumps when I enter that room. They say that people who commit suicide will stay angry. Do you think it's because of..."
Words and sentences are composed of different voices, but they penetrated into Chi Tong's ears together, like some kind of cursed note entangled in his first half of life, as if engraved in his bone marrow.
Chi Tong had a splitting headache, and sharp throbbing pains came from all limbs.Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and they were wiped on the bed sheet as he curled up in pain.
It was like a silent and invisible torture.After another burst of piercing discomfort, Chi Tong's hand touched the water glass on the bedside table while struggling.
The water glass didn't break when it hit the ground, but it made a dull sound of colliding with the wooden floor.
This sound was not enough to rescue Chi Tong from the pain, it was just another desperate ensemble.Until Chi Tong heard a small voice outside the door calling him: "Xiaochi?"
It was so thin, it seemed not firm, but only a moment later, the door was opened by someone outside, and then the light from outside the door poured in.Like a holy light illuminating lost souls.
a few minutes ago.
Lin Xing rolled around on the big bed with the quilt rolled up. He reached out to touch the mobile phone on the bedside table before going to sleep, and clicked on it to see that it was 02:30.
Lin Xing turned off the phone screen, lay in the dark again for five or six minutes, and couldn't resist turning on the light.
With a snap, the guest bedroom brightened up.
Lin Xing was mainly woken up by starvation.He is a strange person, he can't eat supper after dinner, but after eating it, it seems to wake up his sleeping stomach, and it is easy to feel hungry again in the middle of the night.
And usually patience is useless at this time. For example, if you endure for half an hour, you will not only not be able to fall asleep, but you will regret how you wasted the 10 minutes in the middle after half an hour. It would be better if you go to eat earlier.
So Lin Xing decided to get up all night after confirming that he was really hungry.
He opened the door of the guest room and tried to turn on the aisle light leading to the living room at the door.However, because I was not familiar with the specific arrangement of the light bulb switch when I first moved in, I turned on the correct one after several turns.
Although Lin Xing had turned down the sound of turning on the lights as little as possible, there were still a few crackling sounds.
The guest bedroom where Lin Xing lives is the one closest to the master bedroom, so after Lin Xing failed to control the sound of switching the light bulb on and off, he was first afraid that he would disturb Chi Tong.He stood there without moving, then pricked up his ears to hear the sound from the master bedroom.
For about five or six seconds, the master bedroom was quiet, Lin Xing closed his ears again, and ran to the kitchen with his bare feet on the floor.
There are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, but they are all fresh ingredients, or semi-finished products that need a little simple processing.For Lin Xing, warming up crayfish is basically the pinnacle of his kitchen skills.
Stupid people don't know how to cook.
Lin Xing stared at the ingredients in the refrigerator and pursed his lips in annoyance. After struggling for a while, he took out a box of grapes and ate a few by himself on the sofa.
Grapes are very sweet and juicy, but for people who are hungry, the fruit cannot suppress their appetite at all.
Lin Xing put back half a box of grapes, took out his mobile phone to search for nearby snack bars, and found that not far from here, only about three kilometers away, there is a well-known snack street, which operates food stalls until dawn at night.
Lin Xing couldn't help but swipe carefully, seeing all kinds of delicious food in the pictures posted by netizens, the gluttons are more and more about to go out.
Just as Lin Xing was thinking about whether ordering takeaway at this time would wake Chi Tong up, and whether the food delivered would not be as delicious as it was steaming hot when it was just out of the pan, he suddenly heard something sound from the master bedroom .
Lin Xing tilted his head and listened, but there was no movement after a minute, as if he was hallucinating.
Or I really want Chi Tong to be awake at this time and order takeaway, so I have this auditory hallucination.
After thinking about it, Lin Xing decided not to order takeaway, otherwise it would be bad to disturb Chi Tong's rest.Anyway, Lin Xing didn't like being noisy when he was sleeping, so he pushed others out of himself, so Lin Xing decided to quietly go back to the room to rinse his mouth and sleep.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the guest bedroom and opened the door to go in, Lin Xing heard the sound from the master bedroom again. This time it was louder. It was the sound of something heavy falling on the ground. Lin Xing was sure that he didn't hear it. wrong.
Koike didn't sleep, or at least woke up.Lin Xing immediately burst into a small flame of joy, he walked quickly to the door of the master bedroom, and called out tentatively: "Xiaochi?"
At first there was no answer from the room.But Lin Xing heard the sound just now clearly, so of course it was impossible to ignore it.
Lin Xing thought for a while, but decided to open the door and take a look just in case.
After the door opened, Lin Xing didn't go in right away, but stood at the door and looked inside gently.
The space in the master bedroom is very large, and because of the structure, it is impossible to see the whole picture clearly from the door, not to mention that the room is now dark, Lin Xing can only judge the position of Chi Tong's bed through the little light that shines in from the door and the position in his memory. Location.It was dark over there, and the specific state of the person lying on the bed could not be seen clearly.
Lin Xing took a step in, and said again: "Xiaochi?" There was more worry in his voice.
Fortunately, after Lin Xing spoke out this time, he heard Chi Tong's response.
"Hmm." With a simple word, it was difficult to hear the specific state of the speaker.But Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief when there was a response.
He continued to move forward, and suddenly felt cold and slippery liquid stepped on his feet, and vaguely saw the water glass rolled on the ground, and understood the source of the sound just now.
Chi Tong has not yet completely withdrawn from the state just now, and the dull pain all over his body is generated from the spiritual level, so it is becoming more and more difficult to eliminate.
"Did you drop the water glass because you didn't hold it steady just now?" Lin Xing was already standing at Chi Tong's bedside, and reached out to turn on the bedside lamp.
The light from the bedside lamp was not bright, but it immediately retreated from the darkness, forming a warm halo that enveloped Lin Xing and Chi Tong.
Lin Xing first found paper towels to soak up all the water on the ground. The room has wooden floors, and water would seep in easily if left unattended.
After simple handling, he put the water glass back on the bedside table, and then squatted halfway on the edge of the bed to look at Chi Tong, who was lying on his side on the bed and had been looking at him since just now.
Chi Tong's complexion is not good, but it can't be fully revealed under the limited light, but the sweat on his forehead is still obvious, he seems uncomfortable.
Lin Xing put his hand on Chi Tong's forehead, felt his body temperature again, and confirmed that Chi Tong didn't have a fever.
"Are you having a nightmare?" Lin Xing asked Chi Tong speculatively.
Chi Tong shook his head, he was still suffering.In the past, Chi Tong was alone through this time, but now that Lin Xing was beside him, Chi Tong felt that at least he was there.
Chi Tong asked: "Can you lie down with me for a while?"
His voice was a little low, and he stared at Lin Xing.Lin Xing's heart is very soft, besides, lying on the same bed with Chi Tong is also a temptation.
It was Chi Tong's request!With this thought in mind, Lin Xing lay down beside Chi Tong without thinking.As soon as he approached, the small voice in Chi Tong's ear became much lower.
Chi Tong couldn't help but move closer to Lin Xing, leaning his face on Lin Xing's shoulder.Lin Xing surrounded Chi Tong and patted him gently.
Lin Xing felt that Chi Tong was just having a nightmare, but he was too embarrassed to say it.
When he had nightmares when he was a child, he was hugged and coaxed by his mother.Although Lin Xing hasn't had a nightmare for a long time, he can empathize with Chi Tong and is willing to coax him.
Lin Xing turned sideways and said some naive words: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
Chi Tong's thoughts gradually became clear, and he buried his face more and more into Lin Xing's neck, but he couldn't help but laugh lowly when he heard him speak like this.Lin Xing's neck is warm, and when he leans on it, it will rub against Lin Xing's cheek, soft and lovely.
Hearing Chi Tong's smile, Lin Xing felt relieved.
"Are you feeling better?" Lin Xing asked Chi Tong.
Chi Tong said: "It's just some insomnia, it's an old problem."
"Occasionally, I also suffer from insomnia." Lin Xing said, "Sometimes I think about other things at night, and I tend to suffer from insomnia."
Chi Tong took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of Lin Xing's company, then closed his eyes and asked him, "What do you always think about?"
In fact, Lin Xing's thoughts came alive after knowing that Chi Tong hadn't slept, and now that Chi Tong hadn't slept but also suffered from insomnia, Lin Xing was even more eager to move.
Chi Tong also took the initiative to ask, and Lin Xing's desire to carry private goods became more and more intense.
"For example..." Lin Xing dragged his voice, "I will think about what I ate during the day, what I will eat tomorrow, what I will reward myself after the exam is a bit tired, or if you are hungry in the middle of the night and suddenly want to eat twenty kilometers Fried rice with eggs outside, I will definitely accompany you to such trivial matters."
Chi Tong raised his head to look at Lin Xing, with a smile in his eyes.
"Because I am such a good boyfriend, I will accompany you no matter what you do." Lin Xing added, trying to establish a positive personality.
"Will you stay with me for everything?" Chi Tong asked him.
"Yeah!" Lin Xing nodded quickly, but after two or three seconds, his selfishness was revealed: "Then do you want to be such a good boyfriend now?"
