sunflower bird

Chapter 9

Qi Xi lay on his back on the soft bed, his body sank deeply, he turned around, and slowly put his hands on the white wall, which was smooth and cold.

He thought blankly: The person lying on that side is Lu Xiuyuan.

He seemed to be able to feel Lu Xiuyuan's heartbeat through the thick wall.He kept this posture until the temperature on his hands was as cold as the outside world, and he reluctantly moved away.He thought he would not be able to sleep again today.But who knows, just the wind passing through the gap, he fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Xi was dreaming again.

He dreamed that he was lying on a bed in a dark room with no light.He raised his eyes and found that the curtains in the entire room were tightly drawn, and there was not even a single gap between the curtains.The owner of this house stubbornly doesn't want the light to come in.

Qi Xi straightened up in confusion, sat there for a while, looked at the furnishings in the room, and then slowly woke up.Oh, it turned out to be my room.It was only a second of confusion, and the next moment the house started to be noisy, "boom", "tick", parents arguing, crying, screaming, mixed together, one after another, loud and small.

All the voices were so real and so familiar, Qi Xi numbly stood up and just stood there with no expression on his face, but his eyes were terribly red, and his hands were shaking violently, at an almost uncontrollable high frequency shake.

Suddenly, there was the sound of the door opening in the room, and a dazzling light came in, almost eagerly trying to fill the entire room, but the door was so wide that no matter how strong the light was, it could only be projected through the narrow door. Contribute to a small area.

"Da da da" was the sound of running, and in the blink of an eye, a person appeared in front of Qi Xi's eyes.He looked down, showing a rare smile.

It's a girl, very cute, with big eyes, watery, holding a tablet in her hand, she looked up and said expectantly: "Brother, he is going to compete today, can you watch it with me?"

The chaotic sounds in his ears were gradually replaced by the music in the video, and his eyes slowly fell on the screen.The dark room was punctured.The light that came in from the door expanded suddenly, making Qi Xi unable to open his eyes.

It was too bright... I couldn't see anything, it was all white.

When he sees clearly.

He was still on the bed, but this time at Lu Xiuyuan's home.

He glanced at the time, it was almost eight o'clock, he washed himself up, went to make breakfast, and then went to wake Lu Xiuyuan up again.Lu Xiuyuan was still the same as usual, he fell into a drowsy sleep and had to react for a while before waking up.Qi Xi just pushed the wheelchair to his bed and went downstairs very consciously.

Today's meal is not in a hurry, it is rich.Lu Xiuyuan ate politely, even when drinking soup, he sat upright, took a spoon and slowly scooped it up from his direction, and then sipped it in.Qi Xi ate breakfast with him for half an hour, which could have been settled in a few minutes.

After eating, I don't know what to do. Lu Xiuyuan's house is empty. If you don't go upstairs to have a look, you will think it is an empty room with no furniture. It seems that there are only books with him.

"Lu Xiuyuan, do you want to watch a movie?" Qi Xi asked.

"A new movie?," he said.

"No, do you want to see something else?"

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him suspiciously, not knowing what tricks this man was going to make: "What?"

Qi Xi stood up from the stool: "Wait a minute." After speaking, he ran away, Lu Xiuyuan silently watched him disappear before his eyes, and when he came out again, he was covered with a big white white sheep cloth.

Qi Xi poked his head out from the cloth: "I saw it when I went to the toilet before. Is this cloth useful?"

Lu Xiuyuan looked at it inexplicably and shook his head.

"That's good."

After finishing speaking, I saw him pull out a few sheets of paper from his bag, went to the kitchen to get scissors, and began to draw on the ground. The posture of lying on the ground was not very elegant, and his buttocks were a little funny, and he would move his position occasionally.

Qi Xi's hair was a bit long, and Lu Xiuyuan couldn't see his whole face from several angles, but could only vaguely see his straight nose bridge and slightly pursed lips from the scattered hair.Maybe he felt that his hair was a little in the way, so Qi Xi straightened up, scratched and pulled it casually with his hands, rolled and inserted the pen, and just grabbed it, then bent down again, and started to draw again.

Time stops for a moment.

Lu Xiuyuan was a little dumbfounded. He knew Qi Xi was good-looking, so he felt it when he first saw him.But there has never been a moment like today when I felt like I was about to fall into it.He was very serious when he was painting, pursing his lips and frowning, even if he couldn't see his eyes, Lu Xiuyuan believed that there must be a vast galaxy in those eyes, bright and dazzling.

He is like the sunflower in each of his own paintings, following the sun all his life, and his body is full of golden light.

"Okay." Qi Xi stood up.

Lu Xiuyuan immediately withdrew his gaze and looked out the window calmly.

After that, because he didn't look at Qi Xi anymore, he didn't pay attention to what Qi Xi was busy with. He just looked out of the window for a while, looking at the thinning snow.When Qi Xi called him young master with a smile, the empty living room had already been covered with white lamb cloth.

At some point, the curtains were pulled tight by him, and the outside light was cut off, leaving only an incandescent lamp hanging on the white sheep cloth.Behind the white cloth is Qi Xi's busy figure, his slender shadow is printed on the cloth, it is a beautiful black silhouette.

Then mountains, the sun, and green pines appeared on the white cloth...they all fell on the cloth through the light, and some of them should be painted on, just like an ink painting.

In the dim room, under the incandescent lamp, the person he likes personally made a movie for him.

Because the things produced are relatively rough compared with shadow puppetry, it seems to have dropped the grade. Fortunately, Qi Xi's painting skills are good, and the pictures presented are actually not that bad, but the movements are a bit strange and not so smooth.

The story was told very straightforwardly, and Lu Xiuyuan understood it.It’s a bird born without wings, it can’t fly but loves the sky, and finally falls slowly from the cliff, fulfilling its wish to fly, but the ending is good, it didn’t die, and was caught by the soft clouds Stopped, the empty body was also given transparent wings by the sun.

When Qi Xi came out from behind the white sheep cloth, his face was a little red, and he held the chopsticks in his hand. The other side of the chopsticks was supporting the wingless bird. He walked over with anticipation, and handed the bird to Lu Xiuyuan: "I like it!" !"

Lu Xiuyuan looked at him, and then at the bird in his hand. There was no emotion on his face, but his jawline was tense. He wanted to reach out and catch the bird, he wanted it too much.His fingers have even moved forward slightly by an inch, and their fingertips have already touched.

But next second...

One thought he would pick it up, the other thought he would not let go.

The bird just fell straight down and hit the ground.

Lu Xiuyuan's face turned pale, and he turned the wheelchair in a panic and took a step back.The room was too quiet, he seemed to hear the strange cry of the bird...

Qi Xi stood for a while before picking it up. He didn't get angry. He had already thought about the result. He had thought about this story for a long time, but this shadow puppet show was a temporary idea of ​​his. After all, he was too impatient.

"The story...is very good." Lu Xiuyuan said, "It just isn't true."

Qi Xi heard Lu Xiuyuan's extremely calm tone, as if the story hadn't touched him much.Qi Xi adjusted her emotions, raised her head, and smiled: "The story comes from life, but it will be polished, it really lacks authenticity."

"I'll make something else for you next time!" Qi Xi said and stuffed the picked bird back into Lu Xiuyuan's arms. " Without giving Lu Xiuyuan a chance to react, he turned around and went to clean up.

Lu Xiuyuan didn't let go this time, but he didn't tighten it either. He just let the wingless bird lie on his lap.
