Chapter 19

Zhu Shen had another nightmare tonight.

In the early morning, he suddenly woke up from his dream, and the feeling of drowning hit him again. He could only press his hands tightly to his chest, breathing heavily.

Zhong Heng stood up from the bed, turned on the light for him, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid."

Living in the dark for a long time, Zhu Shen couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he saw the light at first sight. After his eyes got used to it, he raised his head and looked at Zhong Heng blankly.Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he swallowed, still shivering with lingering fear.

"I—" Zhu Shen's voice was hoarse, and he coughed several times before he finished speaking.

Zhong Heng hurriedly poured him a glass of warm water, Zhu Shen took it with trembling hands, drank it in one gulp, and finally calmed down a lot.

"Thank you." He raised his head to look at Zhong Heng, and found that Zhong Heng had already gotten up and was fully dressed.

Probably only Zhong Heng's previous sportswear can be found here, and the sophisticated and capable temperament covered by a suit has faded away. Such a Zhong Heng inexplicably looks a lot more friendly.

Zhu Shen gave a "chuck" smile, finally relaxed, and said to him, "I'm having a nightmare again."

Zhong Heng frowned.

Zhu Shen approached him with a smile, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Don't look at me like that, I will definitely take medicine next time I sleep with you."

What he said was quite romantic, and Zhu Shen thought that such an exaggerated and vague statement would be able to get away with it, but Zhong Heng didn't like him. He pushed away the smoke and asked him in a deep voice: "Why?" thing?"

Zhu Shen shrugged and tweeted: "PTSD, didn't I almost get bombed in country N?"

Zhong Heng pushed him away, and carefully examined Zhu Shen's playful appearance.

It's definitely not just that.

But if being bombed is light, what is heavy to him?

What kind of shadow made him restless in his midnight dreams?

How did Zhu Shen get here in those years?

Zhong Heng stood by the bed and asked him in a low voice: "Have you ever fallen into the water before?"

For a moment, he saw Zhu Shen's face pale.

So Zhong Heng understood, he must have guessed right.

In the second half of the night, when Zhu Shen was haunted by nightmares and shouted hoarsely, the rain stopped. At this time, the morning light was twilight, the sky was twilight, and the rain was dripping down the windows, and the room was so quiet that only the sound of this could be heard.

Zhu Shen avoided Zhong Heng's gaze: "How do you know?"

Mixed emotions flashed in Zhong Heng's eyes, and he also lowered his head and said, "You called me for help at night, and you said you were going to be drowned."

"So in your dream, did I rescue you ashore?" Zhu Shen heard Zhong Heng ask himself.

Zhu Shen glanced at Zhong Heng, twitched the corner of his mouth, showed a faint smile, and shook his head lightly: "Who knows."

Zhong Heng saw that Zhu Shen was not in a good condition, so he didn't continue to ask. When the phone rang, he left the room and went to make a phone call.Zhu Shen in the room watched Zhong Heng walk out of the room, his smile collapsed, he raised his hand and rubbed his hair indiscriminately, and then went to the bathroom.

After washing up, when he walked to the living room, Zhong Heng also finished his phone calls.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Heng said to Zhu Shen: "The housekeeper will come to the north of the city to pick us up in a while." While talking, he glanced at his watch and added, "It will be about an hour later."

Zhu Shen nodded to express his understanding. After all, after such a heavy rainstorm, the city traffic has been paralyzed.

"Let's eat something first." Zhong Heng brought two plates of soup dumplings from the kitchen.

The living room is not big, and there is a table in front of the sofa, which can be regarded as a dining table.Zhong Heng brought two more cups of soybean milk from the kitchen and put them on the table.

Zhu Shen was taken aback for a moment: "Where did it come from?"

"I bought it downstairs."

Looking at the twilight sky outside the window, Zhu Shen couldn't help being a little surprised, and asked him, "When did you go out?"

Today he woke up early enough due to being haunted by nightmares, unexpectedly Zhong Heng was earlier than him, not only dressed neatly, but also bought breakfast.

Zhong Heng didn't answer him, and pushed the dish in front of him: "Eat it while it's hot."

The rain seemed to have just stopped, and the sky was not yet fully lit. I wondered what it would be like when Zhong Heng went to buy breakfast.

This time, Zhu Shen didn't find any excuses to escape, and ate three small soup dumplings for the first time, and sat on the sofa to rub his stomach.

His stomach is really small, and it will become very uncomfortable when he stretches it at first. Leaning on the hard sofa, it is not comfortable to change several positions.

Zhong Heng noticed it and said, "Get up and stand up."

Zhu Shen shook his head with a face of rejection.

Zhong Heng had nothing to do with him, after removing the leftovers from the table, he went to the room and got a big pillow for his back, which made Zhu Shen feel much more comfortable.

Zhu Shen was a little bored sitting on the sofa, nodded his chin towards the old desktop TV, and asked casually, "Can I watch it?"

Zhong Heng was startled, walked to the TV, and looked it up and down.

The TV hadn't been turned on for years, and the remote control was nowhere to be found.Zhong Heng pressed the power switch, the TV screen flickered for a while, and then completely stopped.

In fact, Zhu Shen was just asking casually, unexpectedly Zhong Heng was so serious, he found the toolbox and came, looking like he was about to repair it, Zhu Shen quickly stopped him: "I'll just ask casually, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. "

Zhong Heng stood where he was, for a long time, only heard a "click", and the tool box was closed by him.

Zhu Shen sat on the sofa and flicked his mobile phone boredly, and clicked on a movie while swiping.

Suddenly there was a voice on the phone, Zhong Heng couldn't help but glance at Zhu Shen, Zhu Shen lowered the volume, met Zhong Heng's gaze, Zhu Shen said: "I'm watching a movie." Seeing Zhong Heng's gaze Before leaving himself, Zhu Shen casually asked, "Will you watch a movie with me?"

I thought Zhong Heng would refuse, but unexpectedly Zhong Heng nodded and walked towards him.

Zhu Shen had no choice but to turn up the volume and moved half of the position to Zhong Heng.

The sofa is small, but it can accommodate two people.The small mobile phone also gathers the eyes of two people.

Zhu Shen hasn't watched a movie for a long time. For a long time, the colors of everything in his eyes are just black, white and gray. But when he came to Nicheng, he began to truly feel the light, shadow and color.

It's not clear what's going on, but it's a good thing after all.

The movie they watched was called "Shadows by the Lake of Anrietta". It was an old foreign movie and was very famous. The shots in it were beautifully shot, and every frame was like a painting.

When the male lead and the female lead got acquainted, the female lead was an orphan, and the male lead was abused by a foster family for a long time.After the male protagonist was beaten and dying, the female protagonist bravely smashed the window of the small black room with a stone, bringing a glimmer of life to the male protagonist.

Immediately afterwards, the two left the town at night to start a new life.

They support each other and grow together.Later, the male protagonist was strong enough to start protecting the female protagonist. The relationship between them was unclear, and both of them would blush for a while after talking to each other.

They built a house by Lake Anrietta, which is the most beautiful place in the whole show, and it also witnessed the teenage love they had.The beauty of that love is that no one has broken it, and the ambiguity is just right.I thought they would have a sweet fairytale ending, but then the male lead left the female lead.

He left all his property to the hostess, and said he was tired of the scenery of Lake Anrietta, and then left the shore of Lake Anrietta peacefully.

The heroine is looking for the hero everywhere, and everyone persuades her to let go, it's not worth it for her.

He didn't even open his mouth to say that he likes you, so why do you look for him everywhere?What if I found him?

The heroine turned around stubbornly, and did not listen to persuasion. She searched for it for many years.

Until the heroine was old, her body was no longer strong, and she couldn't stand the long journey, so she returned to Lake Anrietta.She found an unburned letter in the cellar, and only then did she know that the male lead was terminally ill, so she left her quietly.The hero asks his friends to help him keep the secret, and after his death, he sprinkles his ashes into Lake Anrietta, and he is willing to protect the heroine forever in this way.

Who would have thought that after the hero left, the heroine spent the rest of her life wandering and never returned to Lake Anrietta.

It is indeed good fortune to trick people, which is embarrassing.

When Zhu Shen saw the sweet part of the protagonist in the middle, he still joked with Zhong Heng from time to time. After seeing the back, he only felt his throat was a little sore, and he couldn't say a word.

Zhong Heng was very close to him, and the two of them stood together silently, watching the beautiful scenes in the movie, but there seemed to be something blocked in their hearts, and they wanted to vent, but they found that there were no words to express what was in their hearts mood.

A deep and lyrical cello tone brings the film to an end.The heroine is getting old, but she still insists on going for a walk by the lake every day, staying for a whole day.She had Alzheimer's disease and forgot everything. The young nurse took care of her, talked to her to amuse her, and asked her what she was waiting for?

The hostess smiled kindly and kindly at the nurse, her eyes were bright, and she even had a touch of shyness in her girlhood.

She pointed to the lake in front and said, do you see the lake in front, I am waiting for my lover.

"I'm waiting for him, pick me up and leave."

The film ended abruptly like this.

The melodious cello sounded again, and both of them felt very complicated.

The room was even more silent, the atmosphere was like the eve of a storm, and the breathing was terribly dull and oppressive.

When this film was released that year, someone said such a sentence-everyone can find their own shadow in this "Shadow by Lake Anrietta".

I don’t know what Zhu Shen was thinking, his eyes were clouded, and he couldn’t hold his usual smile anymore. He asked Zhong Heng: “If you were Lyle, would you tell Anna that you liked her before you died? ?”

Zhong Heng turned his head to look at Zhu Shen.

They had just huddled together on a couch watching a movie, arms next to each other, and now even their breaths were intertwined.Zhong Heng stared down at Zhu Shen's red lips, as if his heart was strangled.

After a long time, he shook his head: "I won't."

Zhu Shen frowned: "Are you going to be like Lyle?"

"I will do better than him." Zhong Heng looked at Zhu Shen and said, "If I don't plan to say it, I will never let him find any clues." He rolled his Adam's apple and asked Zhu Shen: "What about you?" ?”

Zhu Shen shook his head: "I'm different from you."

The palms of the hands were exerted little by little, and the heart seemed to be suffocated.

"...but actually I don't know what I am like." Zhu Shen lowered his eyes, recalling his youthful days when he was in chaos.

He also said that he likes it with great fanfare, just like a fool, obediently giving everything and letting others slaughter him.He shouldn't be like this.

Zhu Shen lowered his head: "But if I were Anna, I would be too sad if I didn't get a word of love from the person I like until I die."

Zhong Heng looked at Zhu Shen's lonely expression at the moment, as if he had seen it when he was young - like a peacock whose gorgeous feathers had been snapped off, dragging its body, drooping its head, listlessly, with one foot deep and one shallow to irrigate. Congli heals.

Zhong Heng patted his shoulder lightly and said to him, "Don't be sad."

—He won't tell you, but I can.

The bottom of my heart was overwhelmed, as if I was experiencing a crustal movement.Those things that were hidden, buried, and decided to be silent for a lifetime, because of Zhu Shen's "sorry", they will burst out, and they can't hold on anymore.

Zhong Heng moved his lips, and Shen Shen called his name: "Xiaoshi."

Zhu Shen looked up at him: "Huh?"

Looking at me, I feel as if all my secrets are about to be lost, you said how good you are.
