The soul of the ex-husband

After Xiao Qi lay down on the bed, he felt that the crowd was really crowded.

But in order to take care of him, Zhou Heng slept on his side and tried his best to give him space.

When the rustling sounds in the dormitory subsided, Tata, Peter Pan and Simon fell silent.

Xiao Qi lay on the upper bunk, looked up at the ceiling, but didn't feel sleepy at all.

Now, the game time may be early in the morning, and the wind and rain outside are intertwined, whistling and blowing, indicating that the next few days will be showers.

Xiao Qi felt another person's body temperature against his arm, he was not used to it, but there was a milky woody fragrance spreading in his breath, which always made him feel a little itchy and restless from time to time.

Perhaps because of this, some can't fall asleep.

Xiao Qi turned his face slightly, looked to the side, but unexpectedly met Zhou Heng's eyes.

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other wordlessly for a moment.

Xiao Qi whispered: "Can't sleep?"

They share a pillow so their faces are very close together.

I saw Zhou Heng leaning against the wall very obediently and quietly, a big man of nearly 1 meters, but almost in a snuggling posture, with his face leaning against Xiao Qi's shoulder.

At this time, Zhou Heng slightly raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qi, his long and narrow phoenix eyes are very clear even in the dark, and his dusty facial features are even more breathtaking from a close distance.

Xiao Qi looked at the scene in front of him with the dim light coming in from the window, his mind was completely fluttering like the wind and rain outside the window.

Zhou Heng didn't speak.

Xiao Qi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered, and said: "Do you want to turn on the light?"

Xiao Qi has lived in Zhou Heng's house for almost two months, so he naturally knows about Zhou Heng's sleeping habits.

When a man sleeps, he must leave a bedside lamp and play soothing music.

Zhou Heng seemed to be afraid of the dark and quiet.

After Xiao Qi figured it out, he wanted to get up and look for the lighting lamp.

"No need." But Zhou Heng wrapped his arms around him and stopped him.

Zhou Heng's hands naturally held Xiao Qi's arm, and because of this movement, he got closer to Xiao Qi.

The pleasant woody fragrance emanating from Zhou Heng's body floated around, Xiao Qi's breathing fluttered, his eyes wandered a little, he didn't know where to look.

Low Magneto's voice sounded extraordinarily gentle at night, Zhou Heng added: "I don't need it tonight, it's fine."

Xiao Qi didn't need to look to know that he was already blushing, anyway, his cheeks were hot.

"You..." Xiao Qi wanted to say something to ease the bewildering atmosphere.

He pondered for a while, and took this opportunity to ask a question that he had always been curious about: "Nine years in a coma, are you conscious?"

"Yeah." Zhou Heng responded in a low voice, lowered his head, and said, "As a spirit body, I have always been awake, unable to fall asleep... I have been awake for nine years."

Something flickered in Xiao Qi's star pupils, and his heart tugged without warning.

Nine years, 280 five days and nights, trapped in the boundary between yin and yin, always awake, not experiencing extreme loneliness for a moment...

Xiao Qi lost his mind for a moment.

Then, he turned his face slightly, looked at Zhou Heng with slanted eyes, tried to make his voice sound lighter, and joked: "How does it feel to be a lonely ghost? Are you comfortable?"

He hoped that the topic could become lighter, at least not to trigger Zhou Heng's bad memories.

But Zhou Heng shook his head slowly.

Because Zhou Heng lowered his head, from Xiao Qi's angle, he could only see the man's hair randomly scattered at the end of his eyes, and his delicate face showed a kind of cold whiteness at night.

Such a man, in such a tender and ambiguous rainy night, strangely exudes a harmless and weak aura, as if anyone can maliciously hurt and ravage him.

But the situation was just the opposite, just thinking about it, Xiao Qi was overwhelmed by a feeling of pity in his heart.

How could it be possible to hurt?It's too late to even protect.

"I'm trapped in a place, it's very dark, I can't see the light..." Zhou Heng said in a low voice, with a magnetic hoarseness, "I can't go anywhere... let alone freedom, often I haven’t heard a single human voice for several months.”

Xiao Qi was taken aback.

He just wanted to ask Zhou Heng what he had experienced.

Zhou Heng seemed to be afraid of the cold, and leaned a little closer to Xiao Qi's direction, with a little trouble in his chuckle, he said: "Anyway, I encountered some bad things, and now I think about it, I still remember it." chills..."

Xiao Qi didn't think about it, he pulled the quilt up to cover it up, and covered Zhou Heng tightly again, as if this could give him warmth.

Inside the quilt, I found Zhou Heng's hand to grab it again.

Sure enough, the tentacles were cold.

Xiao Qi turned over with difficulty on the narrow bed, facing Zhou Heng, with sincere enthusiasm and impulse, he put Zhou Heng's hands in his palms and rubbed them.

"It's okay, don't think about it." Xiao Qi helped Zhou Heng cover his hands, and said, "With brother here, you can sleep peacefully, those bad things before will never happen again."

Hearing this, some switch was touched, and Zhou Heng's smile subsided for a moment, which was very abrupt.

In the darkness, I saw him staring at Xiao Qi with a dead face, and there was a bottomless abyss of ice in his eyes.

Zhou Heng looked at Xiao Qi and lowered his head, he breathed on his palm, his every move was full of concern...

Look, how deceiving...

Just put on a sad look and you'll get his full attention.

Zhou Heng thought so calmly.

What Xiao Qi doesn't know is that the better he treats Zhou Heng, the more Zhou Heng can't bear some strange and dark impulse...

Just like now, Zhou Heng is slowly approaching Xiao Qi, as if he is acting entirely on some kind of instinct, not controlled by willpower.

During the process, he stared at Xiao Qi with fixed eyes, as if possessed by a demon, sizing him up carefully.

His face at that time was fresh and sunny, handsome and flamboyant, just like what he remembered, just like what he had thought about day and night for nine years.

In the days when there is no light, what can support him is the face in front of him.

But now, he really wants to devour this boy who is still as pure and clean as a boy, chewing up every inch of light...

It will definitely be the most delicious spirit he has ever tasted...

"Is it better?" Xiao Qi raised his head suddenly at this moment.

Zhou Heng's gaze fell straight into the star-like pupils of the "young man", his heartbeat stopped abruptly for half a second, he reacted quickly, a just-right smile appeared on his lips, it was like a spring breeze breaking through the ice in an instant.

"Well, thank you."

Zhou Heng is smart and good at calculating. This man is full of patience, knows how to behave, and is very good at measuring.

He didn't let Xiao Qi notice the slightest difference. Facing the prey he was eyeing, he would keep his composure and slowly eat away at it. From the inside to the outside, he was elegant and moving...

"Is the sleep disorder serious recently?" Xiao Qi asked worriedly.

Only after understanding did he realize that Zhou Heng's situation was much more serious than he thought.

"It's better than at the beginning, but every time I close my eyes, my heart is always not at ease, but I think..." A wry smile leaked from the phoenix eyes, and Zhou Heng said, "I'm not afraid of making fun of you when I say it. I'm a little scared to sleep, and I always hope to have someone by my side, maybe it's because of the sequelae left by those..."

"Then..." Xiao Qi said without thinking, "If you don't dislike it, you usually sleep with me?"

Zhou Heng paused for a moment, as if he couldn't react, then raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qi who was close at hand, and said with some concerns: "Is it really possible?"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Qi smiled, because his face was restored in the game, and he looked innocent.

He said indifferently: "It's not that men and women can't kiss each other, sleep with brothers, what are you afraid of?"

Zhou Heng looked at Xiao Qi, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of his proposal.

But in my heart I am laughing and thinking:

brother?

Falling asleep, falling asleep is not...

"That's not what it means..." Zhou Heng hesitated, lowered his eyes, and said without confidence, "I'm afraid that Lin Wan would think too much... You also know his character..."

In the hazy night, the beauty frowned lightly, with a look of worry in her eyes, with a look of pity for me.

Xiao started to move his fingers, unconsciously holding Zhou Heng's hand tighter.

The speaker seems careless, but the listener is very concerned.

Lin Wan obviously hasn't done anything yet, but she has committed a heinous crime.

Xiao Qi thought angrily in his heart, if it was included in the romance novel of the wealthy president, Lin Wan would definitely be the vicious female supporting role who used all means to suppress the little white flower heroine in order to get in the position.

"Still not." After Zhou Heng thought about it, he smiled helplessly at Xiao Qi, his stunning face was filled with a kind of intellectual beauty.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that Lin Wan has a bad personality. Lin Wan sometimes looks like he's targeting me. It's just because he cares too much about you and doesn't want us to get too close. He doesn't like the feeling of betrayal."

Zhou Heng's voice changed, and his deep voice became more gentle, and said: "Although... every day when I sleep, if I can have you by my side like today, I think I will be able to overcome the sleep problem faster, But... I don't want you to be caught between us, it's not fair to you and Lin Wan..." He smiled slightly, feeling a little lonely, "I'll just bear those unpleasant experiences alone... "

"What do you mean you have to bear it alone?" Xiao Qi's heart was made of tofu. He already sympathized with Zhou Heng's inhuman encounters in the past nine years, but now he heard that he wanted to face it alone, he immediately became anxious, and then He said angrily and distressedly, "If you treat me as a friend, don't say such things! No matter where you sleep in the future, you should have me next to you, and it's settled like that!"

Regarding the matter of sleeping together, Xiao Qi might have been a little hesitant at first, but now his head is hot, good guy, he made a final decision.

Zhou Heng raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qi, smiled gratefully, then thought of something, bit his lower lip, slightly raised one brow, and said, "In case Lin Wan quarrels with me..."

"Brother will definitely stand by your side." Xiao Qi smiled confidently, with the appearance of taking Zhou Heng under his wings to protect him, and said, "Besides..."

Zhou Heng's eyes were puzzled, he looked at Xiao Qi intently, and waited patiently for the other party to continue.

"Besides..." I don't know what I was thinking, Xiao Qi suddenly blushed, Junxiu's face lowered, as if he was embarrassed to look directly at the opposite side.

Zhou Heng looked at the young and shy look of the "boy", and his inexplicable hunger came up again.

"If Lin Wan really bothers you so much... At worst, I will refuse the marriage after this matter is over." Xiao Qi looked down at the hands they held together, determined to warm Zhou Heng's hand, and said , "This way he has no position to control me..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi gave a disdainful "cut", with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Staring at me all day, as if looking for evidence of my cheating..."

Zhou Heng was amused by Xiao Qi's gritted teeth, he lowered his head, suppressed his smile, and asked, "How are you going to refuse?"

Without even thinking about it, Xiao Qi blurted out: "Tell Xiao Jian'an directly, just say that I don't like Lin Wan, this marriage is over, Xiao Jian'an can't hold my head down and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate."

"You..." Zhou Heng seemed to have heard something inconceivable, in the darkness, he saw him looking at Xiao Qi intently, with broken light floating in his deep phoenix eyes.

Xiao Qi raised his eyes, he couldn't see clearly, just wanted to ask "what's the matter", but suddenly, as if realizing something, he opened his mouth, his expression was blank for a few seconds.

Zhou Heng reacted quickly, as if he was happy from the bottom of his heart, with a smile on the corner of his lips, he said in a low voice, "Think clearly, a fool won't show their cards directly."

Xiao Qi frowned slightly, thinking secretly.

Just now, he almost forgot that he had an affair with Xiao Jian'an.

When it came to refusing the marriage, he really had the intention of confronting Xiao Jian'an.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qi wondered secretly.

Shouldn't.

He hasn't forgiven Xiao Jian'an yet, why is he thinking of exposing himself?

Thanks to his nine years of playing tricks, is he starting to relax?

Xiao Qi didn't think of a reason, but he had a vague feeling——

The things that used to occupy two-thirds of his life, and the things that made his life a little breathless, have been slowly left behind by him at some point, and when he suddenly looked back, he found that those things were very light , very small.

Xiao Qi didn't want to think about it any further, he pursed his lips, and prevaricated: "There is always a way... Anyway, it is impossible for me and Lin Wan..."

Zhou Heng saw that Xiao Qi looked like a rebellious boy, with a stubborn and stubborn face.

With a bright smile in his eyes all the time, Zhou Heng followed his words and asked, "Why is it impossible?"

"He's a man." Xiao Qi was very straightforward.

Zhou Heng was speechless. Although he could understand, his mood was gloomy for a few seconds.

Xiao Qi's straightforward sexual orientation is also the reason why he must be patient.

"Lin Wan has been dressed as a woman since she was a child." Zhou Heng pretended to be careless, and said, "And he is prettier than most girls. If you don't talk about his gender, would you be tempted..."

Unexpectedly, without waiting for Zhou Heng to finish speaking, Xiao Qi raised his tone slightly: "Looks good?"

He immediately sneered, and said without thinking: "I'm not half as pretty as you, if I could fall in love with him, then I'd be with you..."

Xiao Qi suddenly realized something, the following words were swallowed instantly, almost biting his tongue.

In the darkness, Zhou Heng looked at Xiao Qi with burning eyes, and his tone was rarely oppressive, and he lowered his voice: "Follow me? What are you with me?"

Xiao Qi blushed, and when he lowered his head, he reacted abruptly and still held Zhou Heng's hand.

Obviously the last second was full of socialist brotherhood, but now the atmosphere has suddenly turned sour.

With a little guilty conscience, Xiao Qi quickly let go of his hands.

"You... aren't you sleepy?" Xiao Qi pretended nothing happened, but the handsome young man's face was still flushed, and he suspected that even the other side could hear his heartbeat.

Xiao Qi rubbed his cheeks on the pillow, like 300 taels of silver, he forcibly added: "Brother."

The tails of Zhou Heng's long and narrow eyes were bent, revealing a joyful light, and he said, "Go to sleep, good night."

"Hmm..." Xiao Qi cleared his throat with a vague tone, and replied, "Good night."

***

I don't know if it is the reason for becoming an NPC, but because of the influence of the rules of the game world, Xiao Qi feels that his perception of time has also become dull.

Even though it was only two hours in reality, he felt that he was spending a long night.

Waiting for the breathing of the people beside him to gradually become longer, Xiao Qi slowly opened his eyes.

The stunning face is right in front of you, no matter how many times you see it, you can't feel calm.

When Zhou Heng closed his eyes, the end of his eyes naturally turned up, elongating the arc of the phoenix pupil.

The bridge of the nose, the beads of the lips, and the jaw line are covered with a thin layer of dark light, and the lines are extremely smooth and smooth, as if it is a face outlined by light and shadow, and it is as beautiful as a natural creation.

Xiao Qi couldn't sleep at first, but this time is good, the more he looks at the beauty under the moon, the more energetic he looks.

He couldn't help leaning forward, the tip of his nose pressed against Zhou Heng's hair, and took a deep breath.

Xiao Qi didn't realize how idiotic his behavior was, he just sighed in his heart, this man was born so beautiful, even his hair smelled of woody milk.

At this time, Xiao Qi inadvertently lowered his head, followed Zhou Heng to unbutton the neckline, and saw that the cold white neck was straight, the skin was delicate and smooth, and further down, it was hidden in the darkness. , the looming collarbone...

Xiao Qi's mouth was suddenly a little dry, he licked his lower lip, his eyes revealed a kind of scorching heat and bewilderment that belonged to a young boy, he stared at Zhou Heng's neckline, and even wanted to probe inside again.

Suddenly, Xiao Qi's eyes were blurred.

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, then blinked, thinking it was an illusion.

He rubbed his eyes, and then took a closer look, but Zhou Heng's exposed skin and neckline were still covered with a thick layer of mosaic!

Who coded Zhou Heng?

Just as Xiao Qi thought about it, a voice suddenly popped out in his mind:

"it's me."

"Xiao Qi, because you saw the prohibited content, I have to..."

The female voice is sweet, unhurried and very clear.

However, the sound without warning in the night when there is no one is enough to scare people out of their souls.

Xiao Qi almost had a heart attack, he looked around subconsciously, and when he thought of AI Vera, he quickly stopped her with his thoughts:

[Hush!do not talk! 】

Xiao Qi was afraid of disturbing other people who were sleeping, especially Zhou Heng who was opposite, so he lay motionless on the bed, with his hands folded and pillowed on the side of his head. He was startled by Vera's sudden sound, and his whole body tensed up , only a pair of cold star-like pupils were left restlessly turning.

However, Vera didn't listen, and continued to explain stubbornly and politely: "I detected that when you are facing the picture in front of you, the information feedback activity in your body's blood is enhanced, and catecholamine and dopamine hormones are rising sharply. , your heartbeat rose from 3 to 78 beats per minute..."

Seeing that it was fruitless to stop him, Xiao Qi impatiently said: 【So?Please get to the point. 】

"You're greedy for his body." Vera said concisely, with a kind voice.

Xiao Qi: "..."

Vera continued:

"Sorry, Xiao Qi, I have to do this. This game rejects all bloody｜erotic｜pictures, because Zhou Heng's flesh｜body caused your hormones to rise. By comparing with the information sample library opened by the World Health Organization Yes, I believe that what you just saw is a pornographic picture, and the matching rate is 95%, so the system automatically coded the picture that aroused your impulse. If it brings you any inconvenience, please express our work understanding."

Xiao Qi closed his eyes patiently, he didn't know what to say.

At this moment, Vera added a sentence that was not too annoying: "Go online in a healthy and green way, and build a harmonious network together."

"..." Xiao Qi silently covered his face with one hand.

I thank you.

Vera smiled and said politely, "You're welcome."

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth, and only then did he realize that as an NPC, whatever he thinks, no matter whether it is intentional or unintentional, whether it is conscious or subconscious, will be monitored by this artificial intelligence named Vera.

Xiao Qi lowered his head, and said weakly in his heart: 【You remove the mosaic...I don't want to see it. 】

If he wakes up the next day, Zhou Heng finds that he has been marked as a product of pornography...

Xiao Qi couldn't even imagine the series of situations that might happen afterwards.

Xiao Qi thought about it, maybe the bullying opponent was an artificial intelligence, so he couldn't help defending himself: [Didn't it mean that the matching rate is only 95%?I obviously belong to the 5% mistakes you missed. You misunderstood me. 】

Vera's voice was still kind: "You have."

Xiao Qi insisted: 【...I didn't. 】

"You have."

【No. 】

"You have."

Xiao Qi let out a soft "hiss", and was about to fight with Vera a few more times. On the lower berth, Tata's hair was disheveled, and he poked his head out with a ghostly look, and said in an unusually weak voice: "Master... Just follow her, just admit it..."

"…………"

Xiao Qi only felt a "click!" in his head, and his whole body was petrified, lying on the bed unable to move.

At this time, Pan Peter, who was on the upper bunk, turned over like a piglet, whimpering, and made the wooden frame bed creak.

The crying voice was full of complaints and grievances, and it was also full of sleepiness: "Master... Hehe, you don't sleep in the middle of the night, why are you fighting with an artificial intelligence? Why don't you let us sleep?" ? If you want to chat, please keep your voice down..."

A gust of cold wind blows in from outside the window, and with a "hoo", the petrified Xiao Qi is blown into fine powder.

When connecting with Vera, the brain circuits of their five NPCs are connected in series.

So no matter what Vera said to Xiao Qi just now, or what Xiao Qi said to Vera, other people can "listen" clearly.

The people in the dormitory are basically all awake...

May I ask what kind of experience social death is?

Xiao Qi must have a name for this question.

Xiao Qi was in a trance, silently pulled up the quilt to cover himself, kept silent, imagining himself as a ball of air.

But at this moment, he felt a slight tremor on the bed.

Xiao Qi reacted for a while before he realized that it was Zhou Heng who was beside him holding back his laughter, and his body trembled as he laughed.

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth in the quilt, his face turned into a pig liver color, because he was still a year old face, he was aggrieved and had a bun face, which was ridiculous, pitiful, and cute.

Tata and Pan Peter smacked their lips twice, muttering and complaining in a half-dream and half-awake state.

Simon has a hot temper, and he is also very angry when he wakes up. He kicked the quilt away, sat up, and put on his shoes staggeringly.

"What are you going to do?" Peter Pan was sleepy, but when he heard the sound of the lower berth, he poked his head out and asked.

"Pee!" Simon was annoyed, and casually tied his shoelaces twice, then got up and walked out.

"Want...do you want me to accompany you?" Peter Pan closed his eyes and tilted his head.

Simon didn't look back: "Sleep with you."

"Pa-ta", Pan Peter's head lay back again.

***

The corridor of the dormitory exudes a faint blue light at night, and with the sound of wind and rain outside the window, it looks more and more cold and desolate.

The top floor of this building is not inhabited.

Simon was still a little confused, the sound of "da da da" footsteps was amplified several times in the empty corridor, and each sound had a slight echo.

He made his way to the bathroom on the other side of the corridor.

Halfway through, Simon stopped suddenly.

He raised his hand to touch the back of his neck, his eyes were sleepy, and he slowly turned his head back with some confusion.

I saw a mass of darkness at the end of the corridor behind me.

That feeling of being watched comes from the darkness.

Simon suddenly realized that he was a little cold, and his consciousness was quite clear.

He stopped on the spot and narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly, something seemed to squirm in the darkness.

Simon was startled, staggered backwards, and almost fell.

But when he looked carefully, there was nothing at the end of the corridor, only a piece of silent darkness.

Simon only thought he was delusional.

However, the shadow of terror had already been planted in his heart, and it was difficult for him to be as calm as before.

Simon stood in the middle of the corridor, a little bit hard to get off.

He wanted to go back and called Peter Pan to go with him.

But when he thought of how he would simply refuse when he left the dormitory, the cruel little boy couldn't bear it.

He wanted to go back to the dormitory, but the urge to urinate was so intense that he couldn't hold it back.

After thinking about it, Simon clenched his fists, stepped up and continued to walk towards the toilet.

However, what Simon didn't notice was that right above the place he left, on the ceiling, a girl was lying upside down and crouching on it.

Thin limbs, like spider legs, spread out in a strange posture, supporting the body.

Long black hair hung upside down from the ceiling, fluttering gently in the wind.

The too dim light made it difficult to see the girl's face clearly, but in the ray of light that leaked in from the window, her slender chin was just exposed.

Slowly, the bright red lips raised to both sides, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Hi……"

When the girl spoke, she let out a gasp from her throat, and turned towards the back of Simon who was walking away.
