Maybe it was because of a cold, or maybe it was a little tired after painting for a day. After applying the medicine, Lucas no longer felt unbearable. Instead, he felt a little warm, and his eyelids were twitching.

"Go to sleep." Leo tucked in the quilt for him, turned off the light and closed the door.The room was dark, and Lucas closed his eyes.

It was late at night, and it was very quiet inside and outside the house.The door of the guest room was gently opened, Leo tiptoed out, closed the door, and when he passed the door of Lucas's room, he listened carefully and continued to walk upstairs.

Put on the fingerprint and press the fingerprint, pull out the end of the thread, install the decoder, and after a while, click, the door opens.Leo put away the decoder, pushed open the door, and stepped in.Occasionally the lights of passing cars flickered on the windows.The light of the flashlight explores the unknown secrets in the studio.I moved a few drawing boards, but found nothing.Leo thought for a while, and saw a hanging curtain in a corner.Gently move away the blocking grocery shelves, pull open the curtain, revealing a painting of a nude woman behind.What are you hiding here for?Leo touched the four sides of the photo frame, and took it off by picking at the edge, revealing the metal door behind.It is a double password safe with mechanical lock and electronic lock.It's a little tricky.

Returning the items to their original positions, Leo was about to put the shelves back when suddenly there was loud music and shouting from the street outside.Leo couldn't help speeding up.

Waking up from a dream in the middle of the night, Lucas was very annoyed, turned over and got out of bed, opened the curtains and saw nothing.Putting on his nightgown, he opened the door, only to see a neatly dressed Leo standing at the stairs.

"Leo? Are you still asleep?" Lucas asked.

Leo came over and put his arms around his shoulders: "Are you woken up by the sound outside? I just came up from below. The law and order are not very good recently. I went to check the situation in the store."

Pushing him into the house, Leo said: "It should be some drunkards making trouble just now. I saw a police car chasing after him. It's all right, go to sleep."

"Well, you go to bed early too." Lucas took off his nightgown and crawled into bed.

"Okay." Leo kissed the corner of his mouth, then turned and closed the door.Walking to the stairs, he picked up the equipment on the ground and returned to the room.Write down the patterns of the combination lock and safe that you saw just now on a piece of paper, and you will have to ask an expert in this field tomorrow.

The night returned to silence.Lucas stared at the ceiling in bed.Do you want to sleep with Leo?He turned his head and looked at the clock on the bedside table, it was 01:25.Close your eyes and try to sleep.After a few minutes, Lucas sighed, turned on the light, put on his pajamas, got out of bed and went upstairs.

Standing in the middle of the studio, he stood there for a long time, until the residual temperature dissipated, and he shivered before recovering.Walking slowly over to turn on the heating, Lucas sat in front of the drawing board, looking at the enlarged photo of Leo on the side. After a long time, he picked up the brush, filled it with paint, and wiped a thick stroke on the canvas.

The sky turned white.Lucas dropped his brush and looked at the painting in front of him in amazement.In the painting, the blue sky is covered with gray clouds, and Leo is sitting in a golden high-back seat inlaid with gemstones. He holds a sharp knife in his left hand, and the cold light is shining.Under his feet were bright red roses like flames, surrounded by thick black, exuding a dangerous aura, as if a wild beast was waiting for an opportunity.

After staring blankly for a while, Lucas covered his face with his hands. After a long time, he put down his hands, took off the drawing board, and leaned against the corner of the wall.He found another blank drawing board and put it on, but he lost the interest to continue painting.Standing in front of the window, he saw the neatly dressed Leo exiting the hospital door and turning into the shop, then he slowly left the studio and walked towards the bedroom.

It was noon when I woke up.Brilliant sunlight slipped in through the cracks in the curtains, forcibly carving out a territory in the dim interior.Lucas stared blankly at the flying dust in the light.

"Knock knock" was a soft knock on the door.

"Come in." Lucas said hoarsely.

The door opened, and Leo walked in, wearing an off-white pullover and khaki pants.

"I saw that the breakfast I left for you hasn't moved, thinking you haven't gotten up yet." Leo sat down by the bed, reached into the bed with his right hand to touch Lucas's hand, and said, "Are you dizzy? You've been asleep for so long. "

Lucas cleared his throat, the discomfort in his throat made him frown slightly, and said: "It seems to have a cold, my throat hurts."

Leo got up and opened the curtains, returned to the bed, and supported Lucas's neck with his hands: "Open your mouth, ah——"

Lucas cooperated, and Leo looked at it and said, "The tonsils are a little red and swollen, and they are inflamed. Get up and eat something, and take you to the doctor."

Taking thicker clothes from the closet for Lucas, Leo said, "I'm going to heat up the porridge in the morning and make pancakes. The fried steak I brought can't be eaten."

After speaking, Leo walked out.Lucas buried his head in the pile of clothes, and took a moment to unroll and get dressed.

When he came to the restaurant, Leo had already arranged the meals.Lucas turned on his phone, and two missed calls and a text message popped up, it was from his mother.After clicking on it, Lucas was stunned. He looked up to Leo in disbelief and said, "Messi passed away last night."

Leo was stunned: "So suddenly, she came to drink coffee yesterday afternoon. I didn't expect... When will the funeral be held?"

"Tomorrow. My mother said that she couldn't come back in time, and asked me to go to express condolences."

"Well, I'm going with you. It was so sudden."

The sad news sent both men into silence.After eating quietly, Leo went to the bedroom to get a dark woolen coat for Lucas to put on, and hugged him tightly again.Lucas also passionately kissed Leo's neck and earlobe, and the two kissed without a penis for a while before going out the door arm in arm.

The old Chinese medicine clinic that Leo took him to was in a shop facing the street of a residential building, with old signboards and facades.Pushing open the door and entering, a short and fat Chinese girl received them.After a while, they were ushered into the consultation room inside.A middle-aged woman got up to thank her and left, and Lucas saw an old man with half-white hair sitting behind a wooden table.Leo greeted the doctor, "Morning, Doctor Hua." Then he motioned for Lucas to sit down.

"Hold out your hand." Dr. Hua's French was a bit vague, and Lucas could barely understand it.

Dr. Hua put his wrist on a small yellowish white cloth pillow, put three slightly cool fingers on the inside of his wrist, and closed his eyes.After a while, he opened his eyes and let go of his fingers.

"Stick out your tongue." Lucas didn't understand why, so he did as he said.

Doctor Hua looked at it and nodded to indicate that it was all right.Then they asked questions about sleep, diet, and bowel movements.When Lucas couldn't hear clearly, he asked Leo for help, and Leo acted as an interpreter for the two and added information.In the end, Dr. Hua spoke a bunch of Chinese. Lucas could only understand simple words like "heart", "liver" and "stomach". He watched Leo communicate with Dr. Hua back and forth.

"What did he say?" Lucas asked Leo.

"It's not a serious problem to say that you have caught a cold recently. However, in the early days, you suffered a relatively big blow, emotional frustration, and bad emotions. After a long time, it affects your health. It needs to be recuperated slowly to clear the knot in your heart." Leo explained road.

Lucas looked at Dr. Hua in disbelief, who was writing furiously, and nodded: "He's right."

Leo clapped his hands, but said nothing.

Finally, the two left with a large bag of herbs and a bag of medicine bottles.

"We still have to go to Chinatown to buy a medicine jar to make medicine for you," Leo said.

"No, I remember a medicine jar left by my aunt in the kitchen." Lucas said, "My mother believes in Western medicine, but my aunt is still used to seeing Chinese medicine when she is sick. Once I was sick, my aunt boiled herbs for me Drink, it's too bitter." Lucas clicked his lips, remembering the old things.

"Hehe, there is an old saying in China: 'Good medicine tastes bitter'. I asked, you can add rock sugar to these medicines to reduce the bitterness." Leo said.

"Well, you boiled it, no matter how bitter it is, I will drink it."

Leo reached out and stroked his thigh a few times, Lucas almost stepped on the brake pedal.

"Driving." Lucas squeezed his hand and moved it away.

"Don't get excited." Leo grinned.

Lucas glared at him, and when he was waiting for the traffic light, he turned his head and kissed him, and Leo patted him on the shoulder.The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and laughed out loud.

"Fool." Leo muttered.

"You are."

"You're going to infect me with a cold."

"Hmm, drink bitter medicine with me."

"Fuck! You're so spoiled!" Leo scolded with a smile in Chinese.

"What did you just say? Don't bully me because my Chinese is not good, I don't know you are scolding me." Lucas squinted.

"I said, I spoil you too much, and I am lawless."

"Oh, you like it," Lucas said triumphantly.

Leo leaned his elbows against the car window and looked at him with a smile.The warm atmosphere spread in the car, quietly bringing the two young hearts closer.This time silhouette becomes a rope that Lucas can hold on to when he is in the abyss of pain.
