The Midnight Owl

When Wu Sheng just handed in the paper on 7/23, he was fully prepared for Xu Wang's reaction.But Xu Wang didn't say a word about the "emotional story line between optimistic classmate B and detective C".

When he returned to Beijing, he had persuaded himself not to think about it anymore. During the two-day trip to Hebei, the remedial work for a major client that he barely closed his eyes allowed him to calm down the last trace of restlessness.As a result, Xu Wang started talking again, and he didn't foreshadow any B or C, and went straight to ten years ago.

The letter from ten years ago, Wu Sheng didn't dare to use the past when he made up the story, just like that, the frosted filter was removed, revealing the clear face of the past.

It was already dark, the street lights outside were very bright, and the streets were still full of traffic.

But the living room was very quiet.

It was so quiet that Wu Sheng could hear his own heartbeat, Xu Wang's breathing, and even Xu Wang's slight blink when he was waiting for his response.

In the classroom on a rainy night ten years ago, Xu Wang looked at himself in the same way. The only difference was that at that time, there were teardrops on his eyelashes.

He seems to always make him sad, Wu Sheng thought.

The air was so still that it almost froze, Xu Wang's impulsiveness, in Wu Sheng's silence, subsided little by little.

He lowered his head, stared at his knees, held on to the last bit of courage, and asked again: "Can't you write something simpler..."

The voice is weak, almost inaudible.

Finally, Wu Sheng's answer sounded in his ears, low and hoarse: "I'm afraid."

Xu Wang's heart trembled.

He never knew that Wu Sheng would also be afraid.

On the sofa, they sat so close that he had to turn sideways to see Wu Sheng's face.

But Xu Wang didn't dare to move.

"While being afraid, I also hope that you will find out." Wu Sheng looked up at the wall in front of him, the whiteness was so dazzling that he smiled lightly, as if through the white wall, he could see the foolish self who looked forward and backward in the past.

Xu Wang's heart beat so hard that his chest hurt.

He had never heard of Wu Sheng's "heart", which made him feel unreal.He clenched his fists hard, trying to breathe calmly, for fear that if he exhaled heavily, the beautiful soap bubbles would burst.

In a daze, Wu Sheng sighed into his ears: "I don't know what to say, if you keep silent, the conversation may die."

Xu Wang turned his head subconsciously, until he saw the smile in Wu Sheng's eyes, he didn't know that he had been fooled.

Wu Sheng likes how annoyed he looks.Because he is usually too "cunning", so he is very cute when he gets angry occasionally.

He couldn't help himself, raised his hand and touched the other person's head, very lightly and gently: "I am the one who wrote the letter, and I was also the one who was rejected. Can you show a little arrogance of throwing people away?"

Xu Wang was hesitating whether to pat his hands off his head, but he was completely stunned when he heard this: "When did I ever reject you? It was you who refused to write to me first!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xu Wang realized how much he cared about this matter.

Wu Sheng was dazed for a moment, as if he realized that there was a problem in a certain link, but this did not affect his retrieval of memory information: "The fifth letter, please tell me not to ask."

"The fifth letter?" Xu Wang even forgot what he replied, so why was it interpreted as "rejection"? !

and many more.

Xu Wang settled down and recalled the five letters that were lying in the next bedroom at the moment.

He couldn't remember the content of his reply letter, but he had already memorized the letter sent by Wu Sheng by heart.

Ask Wu Sheng to "don't ask again"?

That must be what Wu Sheng asked in the letter...

Xu Wang raised his eyes abruptly, and finally found the same sentence in the fourth and fifth letters.

[Have you finished watching "Walden Pond"? 】

He stared at Wu Sheng with wide eyes, and his tone went up uncontrollably: "Have you finished watching "Walden Lake" yet?!"

Wu Sheng sighed, with "the resignation and relief of the rejected" in his eyes: "Remember."

"..." Xu Wang clutched his heart, the throbbing pain there was worse than when he knew the password in the letter!

Don’t think when you should think too much, think blindly when you shouldn’t think too much, perfectly miss all the correct answers in the emotional line, how did Wu Sheng do it?

And who fell in love with Wu Sheng like this, how much evil did he do in his previous life...

"Before today, I didn't even know there was a code in the letter!" Xu Wang turned his whole body around, wishing he could throw every word in Wu Sheng's face and reshape his brain circuit!

On a rare occasion, Wu Sheng was completely dumbfounded: "I don't know?"

Xu Wang was about to make him vomit blood, so let's not mention it, just today's exchange: "I asked you in the first sentence just now, can't the letter be written simpler, you still don't understand and I haven't deciphered it? "

Wu Sheng really didn't think much about it: "I thought you were just digging up old scores, and wanted to use complaints as the key to open today's topic."

Xu Wang was heartbroken: "Can't you think in the way of ordinary people!"

"But I asked about "Walden" in two consecutive letters. Isn't the hint obvious enough?"

"..."

Under Xu Wang's glaring gaze, Wu Sheng's desire to survive was triggered, and he lowered his head in shame: "It's indeed a bit obscure."

Xu Wang's trust in him has already collapsed, no matter how good his attitude is, how innocent his eyes are, it's useless: "How many 'you think' do you have, format them all for me!"

Wu Sheng cooperated very well, after a moment of silence, he quickly reported: "The check is over."

"Don't ask me what I said, just don't ask me if I read that book or not." Xu Wang really wanted to soften his tone, but the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, so he failed, and he threw Wu Sheng's face with every word after that. , "Also, listen carefully, I have finished reading that "Walden Pond". I looked it up in the dictionary, and there is no page left, and I have read it all!"

After speaking in one breath, his chest heaved violently, but his eyes were on Wu Sheng from the beginning to the end, and he never looked away.

Wu Sheng looked at him in astonishment, several emotions changed on his face for a while, and he couldn't tell whether he was more happy or more bitter.

Xu Wang stared at him, eyes red.

The whole living room suddenly fell silent, only the beating of the hearts of the two people was left, each more like a drum beating than the other.

Wu Sheng's throat was tight, and it took a long time before he recovered his voice: "Is the book good..."

Xu Wang poked his neck: "I'm so bored!"

Wu Sheng said, "Then you've finished watching it all."

"..."

Because you sent it.

These words rolled in Xu Wang's heart, but he couldn't get out of his mouth.

He blinked vigorously, trying to force the heat back, but failed, and the water vapor stained his eyelashes, blurring his vision.

Suddenly, Xu Wang felt a hand caress his face, and the palm was very hot.

The sudden warmth was transmitted from the cheeks to the limbs in an instant, like an electric shock.

Wu Sheng gently wiped off the moisture on his eyelashes with his thumb, feeling extremely distressed: "I'm sorry."

"You've sorry me so much," Xu Wang hoarsely murmured one after another, "You say I'm stupid, you say I only know how to fight and don't think about the consequences, you push me, and you write me that kind of A love letter that I can't read at all..."

The corner of Wu Sheng's mouth turned up unconsciously. For the first time, he knew that being scolded can also make people's hearts bloom and the sun shine brightly.

After counting all the crimes, Xu Wang was still in a panic. He couldn't control himself from thinking "what if".

If Wu Sheng didn't use this unbelievable way, would he be different from what he is now?

If I used my brain a little bit to see the mystery in the letter, would the result be different?

What if he took the initiative a little more when Wu Sheng suddenly cut off the communication?

What if Wu Sheng tried again after he "thought" he rejected him?

He stared fixedly at Wu Sheng, trying hard to make his voice sound indifferent, but he couldn't restrain himself, his eyes were flushed: "I have received such a love letter since I was a child, and you gave me a password..."

Wu Sheng held his face in his hands, and gently blew into his eyes, trying to blow away the red circles under his eyes.

"I'm back now. I'll make up for you as many love letters as you want."

Xu Wang looked at him angrily, like a child who has gained the upper hand, taking the opportunity to cheat and ask for more candies: "There are still ten years of youth."

"Make it up too." Wu Sheng should be very confident.

Xu Wang was stunned, he didn't know, so he looked at him.

Wu Sheng leaned over and planted a kiss on his forehead.

Seriously, almost religiously.

"I love you." For the first time, without putting on any protective cover, he completely spread out his heart.

Xu Wangding stood there, his brain was completely blank, and the heat in his eyes surged up extremely quickly, and it was too fast to be pressed, and it turned into a drop of water, rolling down his cheeks.

Before these three words, he has been subconsciously reminding himself that Wu Sheng's "like" and "love letter" are all ten years ago, although now he seems, seems, seems, still exists This kind of "like", but these "seems" and "seems" can never really make people feel at ease.

He was afraid of being affectionate again.

He was afraid that after the joy, nothing would happen.

"I'm going to chase you." Wu Sheng announced so formally that he was embarrassed for a while after he finished speaking, but he kept looking into Xu Wang's eyes with firm eyes without any hesitation, "From now on , I will chase you. If ten years is not enough, I will chase you for 20 years, and if 20 years is not enough, I will chase you for 30 years, so as to make up for your youth with capital and interest."

Xu Wang sniffed, just now he felt that he was not up to date, but now he felt that he was a profiteer.

He never said he liked or loved Wu Sheng.

He changed someone's heart with a kiss that he didn't kiss.

fool.

After Xu Wang finished speaking softly in his heart, he had already rushed over and kissed Wu Sheng's lips firmly.

Wu Sheng stood there in a daze, just like the time he met in "Owl".

But this time, Xu Wang kissed longer, deeper and more deeply.

When they parted, Wu Sheng's lips were already red from his kiss.

Xu Wang was very satisfied with his results: "I agree with you chasing me."

He really wanted his voice to sound serious and serious, but when he opened his mouth, it was soft, sweet, and happy.

"You have to chase hard, especially with your heart... No, you don't have to be too hard, no, no, you can use your heart, don't use your brain..."
