Chapter 36 Don't Be Afraid, There's Me

Lu Xiangyang talked a lot in a daze along the way.

About myself, about my parents, and even about the cats in front of his shop.

Chattering, like talking in a dream.

"Sweetie." Lu Xiangyang's voice was in his throat, he rubbed his face against the other's shoulder, and the alcohol smelled all over Zhou Xi, "Dabai, come on, let's have a toast."

Dabai is the white cat that often comes to the store to bask in the sun. Zhou Xi has not only seen it, but also fed it.

Zhou Xi: "..."

Lu Xiangyang lived in an old residential building without an elevator.Zhou Xi's current task is to move this drunk who threatened to befriend the cat to the seventh floor.

It seems to feel that he is lighter than before.

Zhou Xi landed on Lu Xiangyang's back and tried his best to support him on his shoulders.

The corridor is very dark, and the equipment is old and incomplete.When I climbed to the fifth floor, the original voice-activated corridor lights seemed to have a contact failure. Sometimes they were on and sometimes they were not on. When they flickered, I could hear the filaments flickering with electric light.

Finally it went completely dark.

When the light faded, Zhou Xi's footsteps also stopped.

The lamp is broken.

He couldn't even see the outline of the steps, let alone someone behind him.

Zhou Xi stopped halfway up the stairs. He subconsciously coughed heavily, but there was no movement around, and it was still pitch black.

The mobile phone was in his pocket, but he couldn't free his hands, so he could only stand on the narrow steps in a dilemma.

It's hard to move an inch.

Sweat trickled down his forehead slowly.

"Boss Lu?" Zhou Xi called him softly, "...Lu Xiangyang?"

Lu Xiangyang hummed as if awake from a dream.

"I can't see." Zhou Xi said, "Find your phone and turn it on."

Lu Xiangyang was very drunk.In his dizzy world at this moment, the only words that can be heard clearly are Zhou Xi's "I can't see".

Lu Xiangyang tightened his grip on his neck.

His consciousness floated up and down in a certain space, like a small boat parked in the long river of dreams, foggy and confused, making it hard to see clearly.

But everything is so real.He remembered Zhou Xi's eyes that he had dreamed countless times, the pupils were dark and confused, even the light was scattered, weakly unable to gather.

Carefully and distressed, Lu Xiangyang raised his hand instinctively, and slowly touched Zhou Xi's eyes.

There are icy thick lenses.

"...Don't touch it." Zhou Xi's breathing was messed up, he closed his eyes and swallowed and said, "Take the phone."

"Um……"

Lu Xiangyang understood this time, he slowly let go of his hand to explore.

Zhou Xi only heard the sound of tinkling metals colliding in his ears, and suddenly his eyes lit up, like the sky suddenly breaking, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.

Something flickered in the palm of Lu Xiangyang's hand, and the warm orange light came out, illuminating a small step in front of Zhou Xi.

The world seems to be colored again, slowly becoming clear with the light.

It's just that the light source is not very stable yet, and it dangles with Lu Xiangyang's hand.Zhou Xi tilted his head and saw clearly that it was the key to Boss Lu's little eDonkey.

——The sunflower cartoon doll is tied to the metal buckle, which is quite heavy.

There are also eyes and mouths sewn with thin black thread.There is a similar pattern on Lu Xiangyang's apron, all embroidered by himself.At the time in the store, these two masterpieces were important evidence that he used to prove his ingenuity.

It turned out that Boss Lu cleverly hid a small flashlight in the cotton interlayer of the sunflower doll. Just press it, and the tail of the orange flower will light up, as if the sun is really shining.

"Don't be afraid." The person behind stretched out his hand as hard as he could, and responded slowly and hard, "There's still me."

The corners of Zhou Xi's eyes became hot.

The light in front of him flickered, as if it had been a lifetime away.It was as if something couldn't hold it in anymore, and it poured out from his heart unstoppably, flowing all over his limbs, scalding his muscles, bones and blood vessels.

"Okay." Zhou Xi put his body on his back tightly, and said softly, "Let's go."

Lu Xiangyang leaned on Zhou Xi's shoulder drowsily.He held the small flashlight in his hand, and the bright circle tightly surrounded them, moving slowly up the steep stairs.

In the silent darkness, time and space seemed to be the only two of them, relying on each other to move forward step by step.

They chased the light, and the light chased them.

"Fireworks falling from the sky..."

Lu Xiangyang sang a song vaguely behind him, under the influence of alcohol, he pronounced the unknown tune in a daze, with a kind of comfortable tranquility, slowly flowing past his side.

"...the wind blows the stars of the night..."

"Don't stop, don't stop, I will definitely meet you..."

The light stretched the shadow very long, and for a moment Zhou Xi just wanted to go on like this forever.

As Lu Xiangyang sang, the lights in the corridor turned on all the way up, and various tenants could be seen around them posting various couplets with gold letters on a red background, which glowed brightly when illuminated by the lights.

Most of them are "the future is bright and the aspirations are far away", "everything goes well and the future is bright" and so on.

In contrast, the couplets of Boss Lu's house seem quite shocking.

The left handwriting reads "Lucky fortune and treasure every year", and the right handbook "everything goes well with fish and meat".

Hengbiao, "Mao Fei Jiarun".

Zhou Xi: "..."

For a moment, he was speechless.

As expected of Boss Lu.

This was Zhou Xi's first visit to Lu Xiangyang's house.Although the place is not big and the things are simply arranged, it is cleaned neatly and is very comfortable.

He fumbled to turn on the light, and carried Lu Xiangyang onto the bed.

Lu Xiangyang didn't stop drinking all the way, Zhou Xi saw him turn over with difficulty on the bed, revealing a flushed face.

"Thirsty." He touched the quilt and whispered while holding it in his hands.

"..." Zhou Xi frowned, "Stay still, I'll get water."

Lu Xiangyang only felt that the world was spinning violently.

In his chaotic consciousness, he desperately tried to find a life-saving straw, so that he could stabilize himself, so that the crazily swaying picture would stop.As soon as Lu Xiangyang raised his hand, he first hugged the pillow, and then grabbed the quilt, but the world was always erratic and turbulent.

He wants to land.

He is like a light and fluffy seed, being blown by the wind and blowing wantonly, with nowhere to go.

so tired.

How can I be so tired.

In the house, only the living room was lit, and a faint light came through the door.

In a blurry scene, he saw someone walking in, that person was as gentle as jade, behaved solemnly, with shoulders and backs straight.

Swaying in his world of nothingness, near and far.

It's a dream.

What he likes and what he thinks about is nothing but delusion.

Those emotions that cannot be touched, cannot be spoken, and cannot even be accommodated by common sense in the world can only be left in the empty dream, and let him grow crazily like a desolate tree, struggling to bloom.

Then it will come true in your dreams.

Lu Xiangyang forced his consciousness and stretched out his hand towards the figure, with great force, as if to catch a long-awaited light.

"——!" Zhou Xi was pulled by him unpreparedly, and fell back on the bed with him.

The water glass in his hand was poured silently onto the bed quilt.

Heavy, warm, fluffy, even wet.

It's like a real one.

He was holding Zhou Xi's woolen sweater in his hand, and a solid weight was pressed on him. The pleasant fragrance of grass and trees scattered on his face and nose and mixed into the alcohol smell on his body.

The distance is very close, but inexplicably emboldened, and wants to get closer.

I want the breath of the two people to blend together.

He may be crazy.

The author says:

I ate Japanese tonkotsu ramen today.

Out of curiosity, do you generally prefer noodles or soup?

Sucking the thick boiled white soup.I have always liked the fish cake with the mosquito coil pattern inside, it is really cute! (quietly)

(Lying down together. Come on, Brother Xi! Knock on the bowl hard.
