Well of Mystery

Lebi?

What it is?Bai Xiuqi had never heard of it.Seeing his unexpected expression, Xiao Yuren pointed him to look under Jiang Chenglu's bed.

Just don't look at it.

Bai Xiuqi lowered his head and found that Jiang Chenglu's bed was just a door panel. The four corners of the door panel were padded with bricks, while the other places were filled with books.

Under Xiao Yuren's instructions, Bai Xiuqi successfully found a strange novel called "The Story of the Hole", opened it and turned to the designated page, and saw the legend about the Lebi Kingdom——

"The people of the Lebi country are three inches long, have wings, and are good at speaking and laughing. Because of the name of the country of good words, Chang Qun flew to the sun to reveal himself, and returned when he was hot. Like pearls."

Bai Xiuqi looked at the text, then at Xiao Yuren in front of him, thoughtfully: "So these books are not fabricated?"

"Of course not! It's a pity that it's not accurate enough."

Xiao Yuren proudly puffed up his chest: "Nowadays, the people of Lebi can take the form of birds during the day, and take the form of human beings at night. Apart from the fact that they like to bask in the sun, we drink dew when there is dew in summer. We also eat flowers and fruit in other seasons."

Speaking of this, he added another sentence: "My name is Tridacna, and I am the Tridacna from the Seven Treasures of the Buddhist family, and I am also a tenant here."

Bai Xiuqi asked naturally: "Since you are from Lebi, why don't you go back to your country?"

"You think I don't want to go back?"

Tridacna lay down directly on the pages of the book: "Don't talk about the country of Lebi, the countries and species recorded in these books are almost gone."

There must be something hidden in this, but since Tridacna didn't mention it, Bai Xiuqi didn't intend to continue asking.

Just like that, the two people, one big and one small, were silent for a while, but still Tridacna couldn't hold back and asked, "I'm well-informed, don't you want to ask me something?"

Bai Xiuqi thought for a while: "How much do you know about Jiang Chenglu?"

"Uh, this is really not much."

Tridacna moved into Xuanjing Apartment ten years ago. At that time, Jiangcheng Road was already Jiangcheng Road, but he was much more taciturn than now, with almost no expression on his face, let alone a smile.

It was Jiang Chenglu's duty to guard Xuanjing's apartment, but he couldn't tell who assigned him this duty.At that time, Xuanjing Apartment was even more desolate than it is now, and there were no tenants at all. Jiang Chenglu often didn't say a word for several days, walking back and forth in the apartment like a ghost.

About eight years ago, old Mr. Bai came.

He seemed to be the same as Bai Xiuqi now, he didn't know the existence of Xuanjing Apartment at first.But he soon discovered the mystery here, and gradually became friends with Jiang Chenglu.

Seven years ago, new tenants moved into Xuanjing Apartment bit by bit, forming a small living circle.

As if influenced by the existence of his companions, Jiang Chenglu changed little by little, and it took seven years to become what he is now.

From this point of view, Jiang Chenglu's feelings for Mr. Bai are still very special, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to say that he "feels like father and son".

Do you live alone in Xuanjing Apartment?Bai Xiuqi suddenly felt sad.

People cannot exist apart from the group. How did the taciturn Jiang Chenglu survive those lonely days and nights...and how did he get to that point?

Just as he was thinking of this, he heard a series of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, followed by the sound of a key being inserted into the lock.

It's Jiangcheng Road.For some reason, he ran up from downstairs again, opened the door and saw giant clams rolling on the bed.

"Stupid bird, don't disturb people's rest, go out."

"Speak good things for you and you still call me a stupid bird, your whole family is a stupid bird..."

Tridacna covered her heart and pretended to be injured, but still obediently flew away from the crack of the door.

In the narrow room, there were only two people left looking at each other.Bai Xiuqi's mind went blank for a moment, and he said something rather silly.

"You, you're back."

"En." Jiang Chenglu responded noncommittally, and walked towards the bed.

The space beside the bed was very narrow, barely enough for one person to stand on.Bai Xiuqi immediately shrank back and crawled back to the bed to make room, then put her hands on her knees and raised her head.

Jiang Chenglu glanced at him indifferently, then turned around immediately, and raised his hand to take down the mysterious box on the wooden shelf.

Suddenly realizing that it was Jiang Chenglu who was on guard against him, Bai Xiuqi felt a rush of anger in his heart.

"I didn't intend to peek." He lied brazenly.

"En." Jiang Chenglu gave another vague answer, but did not explain.

Obviously, Jiang Chenglu was still angry.Just because of the remark that "Xuanjing apartment is a garbage dump" -- Bai Xiuqi is sure that something has to be done, otherwise the misunderstanding will get deeper and deeper.

"sorry."

He was heartbroken, and actually pulled his face down and apologized: "Sometimes I speak without thinking, but you have a lot, sir, so don't take it personally."

"...Heh." Jiang Chenglu only responded with one tone particle.

Bai Xiuqi was annoyed now: "I apologize so sincerely, it's fine if I don't accept it, why are you laughing?!"

"Who said I didn't accept it?"

Jiang Chenglu gently put the box back on the wooden shelf, then lowered his head and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I laughed because I didn't expect you to apologize so sincerely. Looking at you, I thought you were the kind of young master who had never suffered setbacks and was proud and arrogant. Even if your heart softened, you still bite your mouth tightly... ...Hehe, it's very nice of you, I like it."

When he boasted, Bai Xiuqi felt embarrassed: "Admit if you made a mistake, and it wasn't intentional. Why can't you let it go? Besides, I haven't suffered any setbacks before. Didn't I almost get dealt with just now?" ?”

Hearing what he said, Jiang Chenglu laughed again.

"Yes, for an ordinary person who has lived in the material world for decades, your performance tonight is already very calm, and you can score 90 points."

He paused, and suddenly remembered another thing: "I forgot to ask you just now, what did you dream about me in your dream, what did you dream about me?"

"...Uh." Now it was Bai Xiuqi's turn to jump out the modal particles.

The things that didn't exist in the dream flashed through his mind one by one like a movie replay, but fortunately the room was lit with incandescent lamps, which had a good effect on covering up the blush.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just dreamed that you had long silver hair and golden eyes, and you were wearing a long robe and locked in a heavily guarded dungeon."

"Oh, what about you?" Jiang Chenglu asked again: "Since the cell is heavily guarded, how can you see me?"

Bai Xiuqi's breathing was a bit difficult, and he retorted reluctantly: "How can a dream be so logical? I call it God's perspective!"

Jiang Chenglu laughed "hehe" twice, lowered his head and fiddled with the "Dong Ming Ji" on the bed.

Bai Xiuqi tested him again: "I said... Are you a human being after all? Could the one in my dream be your real face?"

"You want to know?" Jiang Chenglu turned to look at Bai Xiuqi: "If you want to know, I'll show you."

……

Bai Xiuqi was stuck.

He is curious, and he can easily say the word "want to see".But he couldn't predict what kind of result his curiosity would bring.

So he remained silent, and before responding, he stared into Jiang Chenglu's eyes, trying to distinguish between jokes, sincerity, or danger.

But he never expected that before he could look at it for two seconds, he heard a "snap", the light above his head suddenly went out, and the whole room became pitch black.

What's wrong? !

In astonishment, he reached out his hand to feel in the darkness, and soon touched Jiang Chenglu's arm.

"...the fuse is broken." The administrator of the apartment replied a little depressed.

Old-fashioned apartments do not have one meter for each household, and the fuse for the east building is at the stairway on the first floor.Although it is not difficult to change, since it is already midnight, it is not a big problem to just sleep like this and wait until dawn.

"You rest first, I'll go to the Taobao shop downstairs."

In the dark, Jiang Chenglu patted Bai Xiuqi's arm that was holding onto him, motioning him to let go.

But Bai Xiuqi didn't speak, nor did he let go.

"...You're not afraid of the dark, are you?" Jiang Chenglu laughed dumbfounded: "Don't you guys who are learning to paint often go out to sketch? Are you used to living in wilderness shops in mountain villages?"

"That's different from here." Bai Xiuqi's voice sounded a little gnashing of teeth: "The nightclubs in the wilderness are still for people to live in. Here, I think I'm the only one who shouldn't come!"

"What are you talking about, you are the little boss here."

When hearing these words, Bai Xiuqi also felt the obvious shaking of the bed.He shrank back inside and felt that Jiang Chenglu was also lying down.

"Squeeze, squeeze, my old waist and legs, I don't want to wake up on the floor tomorrow."

Having said that, the width of a door panel is indeed a bit harsh for two big men.

Jiang Chenglu first lay flat on his back, with the left half of his body pressed against Bai Xiuqi's right hand.Bai Xiuqi couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to kick him away, but Jiang Chenglu's leg caught him as soon as he kicked off.

According to this posture, when I woke up the next day, I would have to twist into a twist.

The two discussed briefly and decided to lie on their side.One person occupies half of the space, and a [-]th line is symbolically drawn in the middle with a pillow cover.

The two lay back to back, but they were still close enough to feel each other's body temperature.Bai Xiuqi was so hot that his heart felt hot.As long as he sticks it closer, Jiang Chenglu should be able to feel the beating rhythm of his heart.

How can I sleep here?Otherwise, find an excuse and go downstairs to the Taobao store by yourself.

Bai Xiuqi was thinking of giving up on himself, when he felt the bed "creak" and shake again——Jiang Chenglu turned over.

"Hey, it's really sore to lie still." He muttered in a low voice, and then asked Bai Xiuqi, "Are you asleep?"

"No, why." Bai Xiuqi's answer was simple and rude.

"Do you remember the rouge box that hit you that day?"

"I can't forget the smell of the dishcloth."

"Ha ha."

Jiang Chenglu smiled, and the hot air he exhaled just hit the back of Bai Xiuqi's neck: "It's actually impossible for such a small rouge box to knock you out. It's a female ghost hidden in the box that possessed you. on you."

"I've been possessed?" Bai Xiuqi bewildered: "What did she do with my body?!"

Jiang Chenglu laughed again: "I didn't do anything, I just kissed me, your lips are quite soft."

It also prevents people from sleeping well! ! !

Bai Xiuqi lamented in his heart, he simply turned around and faced Jiang Chenglu.

It was pitch black in the room, but the spiritual light from several floors in the distance projected over in bits and pieces, vaguely outlining the outline of the faces of people close at hand.Jiang Chenglu's eyes also shone with a soft light.

Bai Xiuqi suddenly felt that there was a moth hiding in his heart, struggling to fly towards this light.He forced himself to take a deep breath, and suddenly grabbed the pillow towel that was used as the [-]th line, unfolded it and covered Jiang Chenglu's eyes.

"No, Yin Zhiping!" Jiang Chenglu made a murderous voice.

"Shut up and sleep!" Bai Xiuqi turned around again.
