The Midnight Owl

After giving Jinxin the first aid kit and closing the door, only Xu Wang and Wu Sheng were left in the room.

The windows are not open, so there is no flow of air, and the room is stagnant in a somewhat small standard room, making the already quiet atmosphere even more silent.

It's okay to be quiet, but silent is unbearable.

Xu Wang, who was facing the door panel, turned around before the embarrassment reached the highest point, patted the backpack that Wu Sheng had just unloaded, and joked in a natural way: "It's not tiring to still hold it."

After speaking, he walked around the other party, walked to the table, put down his backpack, and opened it to search for it.

Wu Sheng stood in the entrance with his backpack in his arms for a while, watching Xu Wang busy, with some emotions flickering in his eyes.

"Chi Yingxue will be okay?" Xu Wang couldn't wait for a response, so he could only bite the bullet and sing a one-man show by himself.

If Wu Sheng didn't speak again, he really didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, there was finally a voice over there.

"You can still walk, so there shouldn't be a muscle injury," Wu Sheng said, walking to Xu Wang's side, and putting the backpack next to the other's, "If you're worried, just go over and have a look."

The backpacks were placed close to each other, and the two of them were also close to each other. Their arms that were rummaging through things touched each other from time to time, but neither of them moved aside.

"No need, if it was really serious, Xiao Kuang would have come here." Xu Wang finally charged the phone.It stands to reason that he should leave the table, take off his coat, or go to the bathroom to wash his face.But he didn't move his feet, he was still rummaging through the backpack in a decent manner, feeling the state of being shoulder to shoulder and close to each other.

He also thought it was stupid, but who asked Wu Sheng to tell such a damn story.The mood from ten years ago has long been dormant, and even if they meet again, he has maintained it very well, but this person insists on teasing him.

I flirted, but I didn't give a follow-up.

C regretted it and wanted to hug B tightly.As for Wu Sheng, do you regret it too?Then he is here, why didn't he say it face to face?

Just as he was thinking, Wu Sheng, who finished getting the daily necessities, turned around and went to the bathroom first.

It was suddenly empty and a little cold.

"Shall I take a shower first?" In the bathroom, Wu Sheng asked about the right to use the bathroom.

Wash it, wash it, it's best to flush out the brain circuits!

Xu Wang beat him a hundred times in his heart, but what he said was: "Yeah."

The door of the bathroom closed, and the closing sound was not loud, but it could be heard clearly.

Xu Wang threw himself on the bed, a mouthful of old blood choked in his throat, wanted to vomit, but couldn't vomit, wanted to swallow, but was unwilling.

The word "inexplicable" burns like a ball of fire in my heart.

You have told all the stories, should you tell me whether you are dead or alive?

In the bathroom, Wu Sheng leaned against the door panel, looked at the dim light above his head, and adjusted his breathing little by little.

But my heart is still chaotic, as if there is another self typing codes frantically, da da da, da da da, but what I typed, what kind of program I want to program, and what kind of problem I want to solve, there is no clue.

Some things can be said in a letter, and you can say it casually in a story, but when you meet face to face, it feels like you have grown legs and run backwards desperately.

It was true ten years ago, and it will be true ten years from now.

But then again, he has told all his stories, shouldn't Xu Wang give some reaction?

Even if you blame him for turning back what has already been turned over and get angry, it's better than acting like nothing happened now.

Pretend nothing happened, it seems to be Xu Wang's bound armor.

After that rainy night ten years ago, he never mentioned the matter of being pushed away. When they reunited ten years later, he never mentioned the matter of the letter confession.Now if he wants to bring up the old things again, he should not see it.

Wu Sheng sat down leaning against the door panel, raised his hand and touched his lips, his eyes gradually darkened.

If time could be turned back, when he first met in Xiaoli, he wouldn't let Xu Wang, who ran away after the kiss, get away unscathed.

At that time, he was really ecstatic, and then the other party said that it was just a prank.

His revenge was just a snowball, it was too light, he should have thrown him directly into the snow, and pressed him firmly, to make him understand that there are some things that should not be played around.

When the dense water vapor filled the bathroom, Wu Sheng stood under the shower, thinking, after going out later, he would cooperate with Xu Wang and act as if nothing had happened.After all, from the beginning to the end, Xu Wang actually only did one thing, that is, on that rainy night, when his emotions were most broken, he was in a trance and blurred for a moment.The rest are all my own fantasies, and relying on these fantasies to extend my self-righteous feelings.

But after taking a shower and returning to the room, seeing Xu Wang lying on the bed sleeping soundly, everything "it's all my fault" immediately flew to the endless sea, only "Can you be more heartless?" "The resentment.

Wu Sheng brushed his hair roughly and perfunctorily, then threw the towel aside, then quietly walked to Xu Wang's bedside, squatted down, and very childishly blew on Xu Wang's face who was lying on his side.

"call--"

Xu Wang's eyelashes trembled slightly because of the sudden breath, but he didn't wake up.

Wu Sheng came closer by accident, so close that the water dripping from his hair wet the opponent's pillow.

"call."

This time the blow was lighter, not like a prank, but a little gentle in rewind.

Xu Wang still didn't move.

Wu Sheng raised his hand unconsciously, but when his fingertips were about to touch the opponent's cheek, he stopped again.

With a distance of one centimeter, he ran his hands along the other person's hair, to the eyes, to the tip of the nose, to the cheeks, to the mouth, stroking all the way down, immersed in it, exhilarated, as if he had really touched it, as happy as An IT tycoon who uses technology to bring human life to a new level.

"Buzzing—"

The phone vibrated no less than a ringtone on the table.

Wu Sheng withdrew his hand abruptly, quickly got up and went to the table to get the phone, subconsciously not wanting to vibrate for too long and wake up the sleeping person.As a result, with the lingering aftertaste of guilty conscience, the action was too fast. When he was about to reach the table, he kicked the leg of the chair. Calling, limping towards the door, and saying "Hello" in a low voice while walking, it sounds pitiful.

The "sleeping" Xu Wang opened his eyes, feeling lost.

After confirming that no one could be seen in the direction of the entrance, he pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and retreated into the darkness.

He couldn't take it anymore.

He has only one heart, can't bear the ups and downs, and will fall apart.

"Okay, I'll go back now." Wu Sheng's voice came from outside the concealed door.

In fact, Xu Wang hadn't heard clearly what Wu Sheng and the other end of the phone were talking about, because the other party seemed to have gone to the corridor, but just this sentence, because Wu Sheng suddenly became serious, clearly passed into Xu Wang under the quilt. Look at the ears.

Xu Wang frowned, this is not a "trivial matter" tone.

Wu Sheng hung up the phone and went back to the room, only to see Xu Wang who had lifted the quilt and sat up.

"What's the matter?" Putting aside for the time being those feelings that are constantly being cut and confused, Xu Wang is now full of eyes, only worried.

"Something happened at the company, it's nothing serious." Wu Shengyun said calmly, "But I need to go back and deal with it myself, so there may be a delay of a few days back and forth."

Xu Wang knew Wu Sheng too well. If it was really nothing serious, he wouldn't emphasize it at all.

But he wasn't going to poke it, he just said, "I'll go back to Beijing with you."

Wu Sheng froze for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, it's too much trouble. When we get a new coordinate point at night, we can just meet up at the next level."

Xu Wang pondered for a while, and found a valid reason: "I want to go back and return the rented house."

"Refund the rent?" Wu Sheng was surprised.

Xu Wang nodded. He had actually been thinking about it for a while, and it wasn't a temporary idea: "We don't know how long we'll be in the 'Owl'. The house is empty and no one lives there. It's a waste of rent."

Wu Sheng smiled: "Even if you don't rent it, you will save thousands of dollars a month, and you won't be able to buy a page of the badge brochure."

"Thousands a month, and tens of thousands in ten months. I don't know how much you add up." Xu Wang gave him an annoyed look, and suddenly hoped that the whole team could have Qian Ai's thrifty spirit. The manual is 20, and there are cheat books, easter eggs, strategy notes, etc., and it will go bankrupt in minutes."

Xu Wang spoke lightly, but Wu Sheng caught a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

It's not that I don't want to part with the house, but once the rent is refunded, it means that the past life will be completely cut off. Those busy but practical, hard but stable days, even the place where I can look back, no longer exist.

"Think about it," Wu Sheng didn't stop him, but only hoped that he would understand, "Once the rent is refunded, you will be completely adrift."

People, hearts and minds can only move forward tenaciously in the "owl", and there is no way out.

Xu Wang looked at him for a long time, the corner of his mouth raised, with a little pride: "I have you, I am not afraid."

……

Wu Sheng originally wanted to go back to Beijing by himself, but told Xu Wang, and it became a two-person tour; Xu Wang originally wanted to accompany Wu Sheng back to Beijing, but told three teammates, and it became a five-person tour.

And the reasons for the friends are very good - anyway, the original plan is to take the green leather train, rest for a few days before entering the next level, then go directly back to Beijing for health and rest, and you can also eat lamb scorpion, roast duck, and soybean juice Er, Jiao Quaner or something.

Well, this reason mainly comes from classmate Qian.

Kuang Jinxin agreed, but Chi Yingxue didn't care.

The four friends accompanied their military division to buy the nearest flight, and arrived in Beijing that night.

As soon as he got out of the airport, Wu Sheng was picked up by his partner. Everyone could see that the matter was urgent.

But even the captain didn't know what was going on, so Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin didn't make random guesses, they just hoped that everything went well with their military division.

The four of them took a taxi and the route was to go back to Xu Wang's home, but on the way, Xu Wang suddenly remembered that the address on Chi Yingxue's ID card was Beijing. After thinking for a moment, he asked carefully, "Xiaoxue, your home is also in Beijing, right?"

"..." Chi Yingxue didn't know why her nickname was fixed, but she didn't bother to protest. She simply responded to Xu Wang's question, "Yes."

This is a minimal to somewhat subtle response.

Xu Wangneng could feel that Chi Yingxue was not very keen on this topic.

He didn't know the family situation of his team members, but as the captain, it seemed to be his instinct to worry, so he thought about it and swallowed "Should I go home and see?" It seems that I am worried about you."

Chi Yingxue twitched the corners of her mouth, like a smile, and also like a mockery: "He just asked as a matter of routine, to make sure I'm still alive and kicking, that's all."

Xu Wang: "..."

This is a "minefield", Xu Wang decided to end the topic.

It's not a matter of brother's lack of affection, but Chi Yingxue's words clearly contain "hostility". If Chi Yingxue doesn't hide it, perhaps, he can still hear... hate.

Competing for the family property brothers to win the wall?

Or is the elder brother unable to accept his younger brother with a dual personality?

Or is there some unknown house secret in it?

Only when his head hurt from thinking about it did Xu Wang realize how gossip he was.I haven't figured out my own affairs, and I'm still worrying about other people's brotherhood scripts. I deserve no one to love and no one to love.
