flower and big devil

[As long as you don't sleep, naturally, you won't have nightmares. 】

.

Luo Xiu didn't know what was wrong with his brain. In short, when he realized how absurd his behavior was, he hadn't closed his eyes for two whole days.

During this period, his nerves were tense all the time, because otherwise, he was very afraid that he would fall asleep in such an inattentive way—and the world after sleep did not belong to him Himself, he hated the feeling of not being in control, and he didn't want to dream about anything weird anymore.

God seems to want to oppose Luo Xiu. The weather in the past two days has been too good. Every afternoon seems to be sunny. Good weather for a good night's sleep... Even the cheerful music in the ear has become the most seductive lullaby in the world.

But Luo Xiu couldn't sleep.

sleepy.

——Ah, I really envy the Cambodian woman lying on the sofa with her eyes closed.

I really want to sleep.

——Clark, who was bathing in the sun and cleaning the window with half-closed eyes, also looked enviable.

I really want to just close my eyes regardless of anything, and sleep in the dark.

Even if it is a nightmare, in the dream, I took out the watermelon knife again...

——Eh, speaking of which, the window of Clark is really clean enough, even from the direction of Luo Xiu, you can see the scene outside the window... There is a tall apple tree planted outside the common room The tree, this time is just when the fruit trees are just bearing fruit... the apples are hanging on the tree, and they will become round and big in the future - round, yes, like eating every day That kind of dinner plate, speaking of it, the dinner plate was wiped clean, and I don’t know how the nuns cleaned them—should there be a special machine?It's like the last time I saw Sister Maria using a carpet cleaner--speaking of carpets, I don't know if I can still find flea eggs on them...

what.

Weird, what was I thinking.

Wasn't the initial focus on Clark and the apple outside the window?

Ah, yes, just now I was feeling that the window was wiped clean, wasn't it, how did the thought jump to the flea eggs?

Just as the black-haired young man curled up on the sofa with his knees in his arms was unaware that he was about to plunge himself into a topic of God's development again, suddenly, he heard the old man sitting opposite him yelling loudly. name……

"Alice? Alice!"

Alice... who is it?

Oh, Luo Xiu thought in a trance, as if he was calling me.

"What's the matter?" The black-haired young man moved his eyelids and asked himself to sound very gentle.

"Alice, this is the third time I've called your name. You seem to have lost your soul." The old man's words brought the black-haired young man back from his trance... It was at this time that Luo Xiu suddenly realized that he seemed to be playing chess with the old man in front of him to get rid of those sleepy people who were pestering him.

Luo Xiu found that his entire life seemed to be focused on "how not to fall asleep". He had a hunch that he might soon become the first person in the world who was truly "trapped to death" by himself... he Every pore and every cell in my body is clamoring for relaxation and sleep...too bad, this is so bad.

After realizing this, the black pupils of the black-haired young man became tired and dull again. He stretched out his hand and moved his black knight almost in a wandering manner—he moved the knight to the A random position that it could reach within the rules, withdrew its hand, and waited for a while, but the old man who didn't see the opponent for a long time made the next step.

Luo Xiu raised his head and found that the other party was staring at him like a ghost.

"What's wrong?" the black-haired young man asked inexplicably.

"It's already a check." The old man said, and touched Luo Xiu's black king with a chess piece. The chess piece was touched with a "click" sound, and turned several times clockwise on the chessboard——

And at this moment, beside the chessboard, there are already piles of black chess pieces that were eaten before... Luo Xiu numbly looked down at the chessboard that he had lost so badly, his mind went blank, watching the chess piece slowly turn Then, he only felt that his eyelids began to become heavier and heavier, they were fighting, and they were as inseparable as the most loving lovers in the world...

Luo Xiu covered his mouth with his hands, narrowed his eyes slightly and yawned indistinctly. After that, he lowered his head and said weakly, "I'm so sleepy."

The old man glanced at the black-haired young man who yawned until his eyes were wet, and felt that he was like a sleepy feline, who couldn't stop hitting him a few more times. After yawning, he finally couldn't help but said: "Sleep when you're sleepy, Alice, you just entered the den of lunatics and not some association for mentally handicapped children-there is a soft sofa that can be used to sleep under your buttocks... no There is also a comfortable bay window in the distance, if you want to bask in the sun, you can go there—"

"But I can't sleep." Luo Xiu stopped yawning and took his hands away from his mouth.

"Why can't you sleep?"

The other party's question made the black-haired young man think about it for a long time—for so long, that the old man almost thought that the black-haired young man sitting opposite him would no longer answer his casual question, but at this moment, he saw, the black-haired young man The young man suddenly showed a bright and tired smile. He put his head on his knees and said in a voice that was almost talking to himself: "I'm afraid that you will all die when you wake up."

The old man stopped talking.

He was finally sure that the common room was full of faulty people—no matter how normal "some people" might look on the outside.

Yet at this moment.

"No one will quietly take their own life while you're asleep."

A hand stretched out from behind the black-haired young man—the big white-gloved hand rubbed the top of Luo Xiu's head as if stroking a pet, messing up his originally soft and neat black hair some...

Through the gloves, Luo Xiu was taken aback by the warmth coming from the man's palm. He turned his head away, and reflected in his dark pupils that were not so bright due to sleepiness was the Bishop of Buddha Luomen. That handsome face——Uzrok smiled, and that smile looked brighter and warmer than the sunlight outside the window.

While Luo Xiu was in a daze, the man stretched out his hands, grabbed the black-haired young man's armpits, and directly picked him up from the sofa——

"--Hey!"

The last time Luo Xiu was lifted up was when he was three years old, and now he is more than three years old, so when someone lifts him up like a baby, the black-haired young man's white face His face was stained with a light pink.

"You can call me Uzrok, or call me 'Master'," Uzrok smiled and looked at the struggling black-haired young man in his arms, paused, his beautiful pair of The strange-colored pupils flickered, and he added, "Or 'Your Majesty'."

"Who wants to call you that!" Luo Xiu lowered his voice and growled like a frightened little leopard, "Put me down quickly—everyone is watching—"

The man's smile remained the same, as if his arms had infinite strength - he was even lifted a little more by the dark-haired young man in his hands.

Luo Xiu couldn't take it anymore - if he was still drowsy a second ago, all the sleepy bugs in him were really scared away this second. In order to prevent himself from falling to the ground, he had to stretch out his hands actively Grabbing Uzrock's shoulder, and with the man's increasingly clear smile, he called the man's name several times in succession——

"Not enough." Uzrock said with a smile.

Luo Xiu looked around, he began to wonder where those nuns went, why no one came to stop this unscrupulous man from pretending to be a hooligan in public here.

But the nuns did not come in.

Luo Xiu rolled his eyes, and resisted the urge to punch the handsome face in front of him—in fact, he didn't have the strength to continue to struggle too much, so in order to get free as soon as possible, he was very reluctant. He willingly called out "Your Majesty"—the moment the black-haired young man finished speaking, he was a little surprised to see a flash of light in the beautiful eyes of the man who was holding him. It was as if the sunlight from the window had melted into his eyes...

However, Luo Xiu didn't delve into this, because in the next second, his whole body was carried by Uzrok on his shoulders in a not-so-elegant posture.

"Put me down!"

"Don't let it go."

Amidst this resolute answer, the man had already carried the black-haired young man to the door of the common room.

"Where are you taking me?"

"I'm about to take my kitten on a nourishing nap to get him in shape."

"what?"

"In a short breakfast time this morning, I received complaints from three nuns. They told me that there was a disobedient kitten who hadn't slept for two days in a row for some reason-in today's morning meeting, when others singing

He sang Chapter 2 unconsciously during the hymn of Chapter 3; when eating breakfast, people used their mouths to eat bread, but he smashed his forehead into the plate; When he was in a trance, he almost bumped into people; when he was talking to people, he didn't catch up with the words; his once bright eyes had lost all their brilliance—Alice, who do you think I'm talking about? "

Luo Xiu: "..."

In fact, it wasn't that Luo Xiu was speechless, it was actually that his brain had been blanked by Uzrock's series of fluent tones that seemed to be reciting poetry and singing.

At this moment, they had already left the main building of Buddha Luomen.

They came under the real sun.

"Escape will never be the best solution, Alice," Uzrock's voice slowed down and came from Luo Xiu's ear, "Either escape or fight, this is an eternal multiple choice question, But 'fleeing' usually just means that the problem you have to deal with will be postponed to another day, and you will eventually have to deal with it."

The dark-haired young man was hung on the tall man's shoulders.

The opponent's big hand gently supported the root of his thigh——

When he realized that the words Uzrock said sounded familiar, he suddenly felt an earth-shattering sensation—then, he found himself thrown not so gently on a grassy field covered by trees above—

Amidst the rustling sound of grass with an earthy smell, Luo Xiu felt a gust of warm wind mixed with the fragrance of wild roses blowing across his face; the black-haired young man opened his eyes wide and saw the surrounding Looking at the weeds growing everywhere around him, he pricked up his ears and heard the cheerful "coo-coo" of the pigeons on the treetops; Of my own feathers, one or two pure white feathers fell from the sky against the light...

This was the first time Luo Xiu met Uzrock, under the big tree in the backyard.

The dark-haired young man subconsciously held his breath.

But at this moment, he felt the tall man sit down next to his head, and then, the hands that had been wearing white gloves gently covered his eyes——

"Go to sleep, Alice." The man's voice was soft and deep, as if someone was playing an elegant cello, "I am here, which means that everything you fear will go away from you, and you don't have to worry about your own death. Have any nightmares."

"But, I think you are the source of everything that happened."

The dark-haired young man muttered in reply, but did not tear off the hand that was on his face.

It is very strange that when facing this man, his head and body always appear so out of harmony.

Just like now.

His body was bathed in warm majesty, before Luo Xiu realized what he had done, he had unconsciously relaxed - the big hand covering his eyes made him close them unconsciously, he could He felt that his eyelashes were brushing against the opponent's palm as if he was trying to seduce something—fortunately, he couldn't find this with gloves on, Luo Xiu thought.

"It's a really wronged accusation, Alice."

"That's not true." Luo Xiu muttered, "I have a reason."

The proof is your red eye.

Though it's pretty enough to outshine all the priceless red gemstones in the world.

... Luo Xiu thought about this, and suddenly smelled a little different smell in the wind - but he quickly realized that it seemed to be a faint scent of detergent on the gloves covering his eyes, that The taste is not strong, even a little faint.

To make sure this was not his fantasy, Luo Xiu sniffed his nose like a pervert.

Immediately afterwards, the black-haired young man was a little embarrassed to hear the man beside him chuckling lightly. The laughter was like the hymn sung in the auditorium in the morning, and the piano beating under the hands of the beautiful young nun sounded in his ears. The halfway flowing out of the keys... At this moment, it seems to be completely surrounded by a mysterious and sacred force. After persisting for two full days, the black-haired young man found for the first time that he could The feeling of settling down.

"Sleep, Alice, I promise nothing will happen."

"..."

"Don't you trust me?"

"I just barely... believe you once." The black-haired young man replied casually in a daze, and then his tightly frowning eyebrows relaxed quietly.

"I will never betray your trust, Alice."

Amidst the man's low and elegant coaxing voice, the surroundings fell into a long silence.

He could only hear the soft rustling of the wind blowing through the treetops. After a while, when the man felt that the breathing of the black-haired young man beside him became gradually smoother and more even, he slowly moved his hand away—— At the same time, a pure white pigeon flew down from the tree and landed on the grass on the other side of the black-haired young man accurately and lightly.

The pigeon tilted its head, and with those little bean eyes gleaming like blood, it looked at the black-haired young man lying peacefully asleep on the grass for a moment.

After a long time, the pigeon raised its head and looked at the man sitting beside Luo Xiu.

The hand that the latter moved away was not in a hurry to take it back. On the contrary, he just raised a finger and gently scratched the chin of the quiet and sleeping black-haired young man with the not-so-soft cloth of the glove. , the man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at his fair face, the obvious layer of light blue color caused by lack of sleep...

"You are so vigilant, Alice." The man sneered in a low voice, and said to the unconscious black-haired young man in front of him, "If I hadn't taken the initiative to find you, would you still be planning to force yourself to escape the dream? In despair?"

As the man spoke, he moved his fingers away, and he followed the black-haired young man's jaw all the way down, passed his collarbone, chest, and finally slid down all the way, sticking to the soft fabric of his chanting robe, and came to the pocket of his jacket— —The man's hand stopped, and at the same time, the pigeon standing on the other side also excitedly "cooed" twice--

The man's hand silently slipped into the pocket of the chanting robe, and when he pulled it out again, there was a hard, small white stone between his slender fingers——

flea eggs.

"Oh, I found it." Uzrok raised the corners of his lips, thinking carefully about the little bug egg in his hand.

Not far from him, pigeons flapped their wings excitedly.

And the next second, what shocked the pigeons was that after the man had seen enough and played with the eggs in his hand, he put a tooth back into the black-haired young man's pocket again!

The pigeon stopped flapping its wings, tilted its head, and "cooed" twice in confusion.

The man's eyes shifted, and finally fixed on the pigeon that seemed extremely puzzled, and smiled: "I am a man of my word, I promised Alice, how can I let him wake up and find that he has lost important things?" What about things?"

"..."

As he said that, the man stretched out his hand, and gently brushed away the broken hair of the black-haired young man who was hanging down and covering his eyes: "You must have no idea what an honor it is to regain trust from Alice, who is so vigilant." Of course, I must cherish it."

The man's voice was gentle and elegant, and there seemed to be a slight smile in his words.

It was as if at this moment, he was really here willingly, acting as a knight guarding the black-haired young man in front of him without asking for anything in return.

-

Two days later.

In the common room.

The old man who was slowly eating the white knight to the black castle raised his head and looked puzzled at the tall and handsome man standing opposite him. The man seemed to see the confusion in his eyes, and he repeated his words tirelessly with a smile on his face. : "Where did Alice go?"

"Backyard." While answering, the old man picked up the white bishop and walked three squares diagonally.

Uzrok looked at the old man, and before the old man could move, he stretched out his hand, pinched a black knight of the opponent, and gently placed it in front of the white queen. When the chess piece fell, the man smiled and said in a low voice. Slowly said: "General."

The old man raised his head and looked at the man in front of him.

"It's a good game of chess."

Uzrock withdrew his hand with a smile, and then, he lowered his eyes and adjusted the gloves on his hands, then turned and left without saying a word.

10 minute later.

Sure enough, Uzrok found a sleeping dark-haired young man under the big tree in the backyard—he seemed to be sleeping well, probably because the safe and sound nap a few days ago made him temporarily let go of his vigilance, at this moment He seemed to have recognized a nest of animals, and without anyone noticing, he sneaked to this abandoned back garden to take a lazy nap.

The man came to the grass, bent down and let his shadow fall in front of the black-haired young man who had fallen asleep peacefully and completely relaxed his vigilance——

Uzrok raised the corners of his lips, looking at this defenseless figure, no one knew better than him who personally smoothed the reverse scales on the young man in front of him, making him restrain himself. The initial repulsion completely dispelled his concerns about him, and he accepted his existence—as if at such a time, he would secretly come to this land, which probably symbolized him and his private land for him .

From the treetops, a white dove landed on the man's shoulder silently.

"Look, son, I said that nothing should be rushed—a safe, unscathed sleep can bring back a lot more than we think, can't it?"

As if answering the man, the pigeon cooed twice - those blood-red eyes were still staring at the black-haired young man who was sleeping peacefully on the grass.

After a long time, it saw that the man who stood there admiring the sleeping face of the black-haired young man raised his index finger and pressed it gracefully on his lips——

The breeze blew, and behind the man, six huge and plump black wings slowly spread out. They completely enveloped the man and the sleeping black-haired young man beside him, blocking out all possible dark-haired young men. All the light that sends young men's sleep disturbed.

The man leaned down, and gently kissed the black-haired young man's smooth forehead with his warm thin lips——

"This is the real beginning, Alice—come on, let me take you into the real Wonderland that belongs only to you."
