light-hidden space

43.

Xin Yue slept restlessly that night, she sometimes woke up, dreamed and thought.

She felt that the inflatable bed was leaking, and she thought in her dream that she should get up and check it, or get up and inflate it.But she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, let alone get up.So she can only continue to dream anxiously, or continue to be anxious in the dream.

This half-asleep state later developed certain hallucinations.She suddenly seemed to see Jiang Yinqi squatting beside her bed, Xin Yue woke up in shock, sat up suddenly, her eyes widened in the darkness, her consciousness was fuzzy, and there was a black shadow in front of her eyes.She was struggling to focus, or maybe just trying to wake herself up.Xin Yue stared at the black shadow, and finally woke up.The surroundings were quiet, and there was no Jiang Yinqi who was squatting beside the bed. The black shadow was the shadow cast by the workbench in the moonlight.Xin Yue forgot to close the curtains last night, and the moonlight quietly shone into the room, which was very quiet and cold.

Xin Yue fell back on the bed.The feeling in her dream was correct, the mattress was not air-filled, soft and very uncomfortable.Even more uncomfortable, why did she dream that Jiang Yinqi was squatting beside her bed?In fact, what made her more uncomfortable was that Jiang Yinqi was not squatting beside the bed.Xin Yue was slightly disappointed.

Xin Yue couldn't fall asleep, staring at the moon outside the window thinking about it.

Last night Jiang Yinqi told her that he wanted to buy a bed, but Xin Yue repeatedly waved his hands and declined.Ask yourself, the reasons you say are very high-sounding, which caters to Jiang Yinqi's preferences.However, Xin Yue had unspeakable thoughts.

Xin Yue didn't want to buy a bed to put in the studio, so she had to sleep on that specially bought bed all the time and be grateful.In fact, Xin Yue hoped that Jiang Yinqi would invite her into the bedroom to sleep together in the same bed.This idea sounds erotic*qing.

Xin Yue defended herself, she had no sexual thoughts, she was just tired of sleeping on the inflatable mattress, tired of sleeping in the empty studio, she wanted to sleep in a real bedroom, a real bed.It doesn't matter if there is someone else on the bed.

But is it really unimportant?Jiang Yinqi, who was sleeping next to him that night, appeared again in Xin Yue's mind.

Naturally, Xin Yue would not pretend that he was innocent.She was married, and she had lovers after the effort disappeared.

She certainly understands that the word "sleeping together" in our language has never been taken literally.For example, as long as we shared the same bed with those lovers back then, it was impossible to simply sleep.

On the contrary, Xin Yue has also shared the bed with girls. For example, he and Liu Lei often slept in the same bed back then, but none of them knew how to use the word "sleeping in the same bed".Even though a lot of what the two of them talked about was about sex, their act of sharing the bed wasn't.

In short, Xin Yue tossed and turned on the bed in the middle of the night, unable to fall asleep.The same goes for thoughts, arguing with myself upside down in my mind.One point of contention was whether the two of them could even use the term "sleeping in the same bed".

At dawn, Xin Yue basically gave up on self-defense, she was sure that she wanted to sleep beside Jiang Yinqi, holding her hand...

Then what?Holding Jiang Yinqi's hand, what are you going to do next?Xin Yue blushed.

Xin Yue decided to get up, intense thinking made her head hurt.

When Xin Yue was walking down the stairs, she accidentally glanced out of the window, and then she was so startled that she almost cried out.The two cherry trees have completely changed their appearance, and they are full of pink flowers.Jiang Yinqi told her that the cherry tree would bloom overnight, Xin Yue was skeptical.Now she knows, it turns out that this is not an exaggeration, it is true!

Xin Yue ran down the stairs gently on tiptoe, and ran into the yard.Happily circled around the two cherry trees.

Clusters of cherry blossoms bloom on the branches, and the very light pink stamens glow elegantly in the morning light.Xin Yue stood under the tree and sniffed vigorously, she smelled the faint fragrance of flowers.

A small bird with golden-brown breast feathers chirped and paced the wet lawn, tilting its head to observe the cherry tree.

Xin Yue squinted at Xiaoniao vigilantly, this would be her competitor.Jiang Yinqi said that these cherries were eaten by birds in previous years.This little bird has a really good memory, so why don't you check it out now?

Thinking about it again, Jiang Yinqi never mentioned whether this year's cherries could be given to Xin Yue.Xin Yue believed that if she told Jiang Yinqi that she wanted to eat these cherries, Jiang Yinqi would agree to it out of politeness.

However, Xin Yue didn't want to ask for it, just like she wouldn't ask to sleep in Jiang Yinqi's bedroom.She felt jealous towards Zhou Feng.These things belong to Zhou Feng.

Just as Xin Yue was turning around under the tree, Jiang Yinqi walked into the yard, "Hi, it's so early!" in a brisk tone.Kazuki's beauty is always delightful.

Jiang Yinqi's arrival didn't scare the little bird away, the little bird just took a few steps to the side, then turned its head to look at Jiang Yinqi and Xin Yue.

"How about it, isn't the cherry blossom beautiful? Isn't it prettier than cherry blossom and peach blossom?" Jiang Yinqi said proudly, as if her mother praised her baby's beauty and couldn't help it.

"Almost." Xin Yue responded in a low mood.Since these two cherry trees do not belong to Xin Yue, it doesn't matter whether they look good or not.

"It's almost the same! It's far from it!" Jiang Yinqi said exaggeratedly, "Peach blossoms are too gorgeous, and cherry blossoms are too grand. These two kinds of flowers are played by everyone as tacky. Only cherry blossoms are the best. The beauty is light and unassuming."

Xin Yue thought that Jiang Yinqi was alluding to Zhou Feng's beauty, so he didn't want to respond.She sighed, and decided to change the subject by saying something disappointing, "Hey, I won't be able to leave until the flowers are all in bloom."

Jiang Yinqi's mood was not affected, and she answered the words cheerfully, "Not only do we wait for the flowers to bloom, but we also wait for the results, right? Xin Yue, look, this is another advantage of cherry blossoms. No matter how grand the cherry blossoms are, But it doesn’t bear fruit. Cherry flowers are different, they have stamens, they will pollinate and bear fruit.”

Xin Yue blurted out the depression in his heart, "The result is not for me to eat," and then realized, isn't this tantamount to asking?He hurriedly said, "This little bird has been guarding these two trees. The cherry fruit is for her to eat, right?"

Jiang Yinqi said solemnly, "Yes, she is my bird named Simba. Every year the fruit is for Simba to eat." Then he suddenly looked surprised, "Oh, I just found out , Little Simba has the same surname as you. You two can eat cherries together this year."

Now Xin Yue laughed sincerely, and the depression just now was swept away.She likes Jiang Yinqi's wit and tact.Jiang Yinqi told her euphemistically that the cherries belonged to Xin Yue.

Jiang Yinqi came over and grabbed Xin Yue's shoulders, "Hurry up and go back to the house to make breakfast. I'm hungry."

Xin Yue said happily, "Okay, I want to have breakfast in the yard, invite Simba to have breakfast together, under the cherry tree."

The wizard Jiang Yin refused, "You have studied the great plague for so long, but don't you know that birds can spread bird flu? Don't make trouble for humans anymore."

Xin Yue pursed his lips, "Okay, okay, let's go back to the house for dinner. Don't go to that woods in the future, squirrels are rodents and can spread plague."

Science makes people anxious, especially when they don't know much about it.

Jiang Yinqi tightened the arm on Xin Yue's shoulder, and comforted him, "I'm just kidding you. You see, Simba has already flown. She is freer than us, and she can fly as soon as she says she wants to fly."

Xin Yue turned her head to look at the cherry tree reluctantly. The beautiful and short flowering period should not be wasted.However, we have given up too many things for safety now.

Jiang Yinqi left the table as soon as he finished his breakfast, and said jokingly, "I'm going to change clothes, I'm going to cry later."

Xin Yue remembered that Jiang Yinqi was going to attend an online funeral this morning.

For things that make us sad, sometimes we use a more jokey tone to hide our true feelings.

When Jiang Yinqi returned to the living room from Yun's funeral, Xin Yue found that her eye circles were red, and she had really cried.

Xin Yue brought hot tea, "Have a cup of tea, don't be sad."

Jiang Yinqi frowned, and slowly talked about his feelings, "This kind of cloud funeral is really weird. You can't figure out whether you are sad or sad, whether you are sad for the dead or for the living People are sad. My friend said that she is very glad that his father has cancer, not covid, and she can say goodbye to him with a final hug."

Xin Yue couldn't speak, she found herself so weak that she wanted to cry.

Jiang Yinqi murmured, "We have lost our hug for too long."
