Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

, but seeing the other party seemed to be relieved.

He put the things on the desk, opened the plastic bag and the bowl cover, and took out two bowls of porridge, which were steaming.

"Lin Pai..." Xu Rui walked behind him and shouted.

"Let's eat first. Today is Laba. On the way back just now, I saw Laba porridge sold on the street, so I went down and bought two."

After Lin Pai finished speaking, he sat down and started to eat. From the corner of his eyes, he saw Xu Rui also sat down, scooping up spoonfuls.

When Lin Pai finished eating the whole bowl, he wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and saw that Xu Rui had eaten less than half a bowl, "Don't you like Laba porridge? I don't know about it. If you don't like it, don't eat it. Go buy something else."

"No...cough..." Xu Rui's mouth was a little hoarse, he cleared his throat, and Lin Pai waited quietly for his next words.

Xu Rui put down his spoon and took a tissue to wipe his mouth, but after wiping his mouth, he just sat there with his head bowed, without any movement.

"Huh...huh?"

Just as Lin Pai opened his mouth, Xu Rui suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the corner of his mouth, and he released it immediately.

He pulled the chair to Lin Pai, and in the next second, Lin Pai was hugged and fell into a hug. Xu Rui had just taken a shower and was only wearing a short sleeve. The heat from his body temperature clearly enveloped Lin Pai. Pai.

"Lin Pai, let's be together..." Xu Rui's palm rested on the back of his head, stroking very lightly, and clasped Lin Pai tightly to his chest, "Let's go tell Zhou Ning, tell Li Cheng, tell everyone who you want to tell."

"We can hold hands and walk in school, on the street, in front of everyone..."

Xu Rui's voice gradually became crying. He buried his head in Lin Pai's neck and continued in a muffled voice, "I want you to be happy, I just want you to be happy..."

Following his movements, Lin Pai tilted his head and rubbed his head, got out of Xu Rui's arms, and put his chin on his shoulder, "Have you really thought it through? We may become aliens in the eyes of others, that kind of... The alien you've been afraid of becoming..."

"It's none of my business what they think! Compared with you, they are nothing!"

"Xu Rui..." Lin Pai patted him on the back to comfort him, "It's because of what I just said...if you just want to..."

"What do you think? Do you think I just want to possess you? Occupy your body, your time or your thoughts? Lin Pai, Lin Pai... What I want is to own you in this world openly and justifiably... "

Lin Pai himself couldn't tell whether this was what he had been waiting for. Leaning on Xu Rui's shoulder, he saw that the snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, turning into small patches of black shadows under the street lights, as if There was snow melting in the hollow of his neck.

After a long time, Lin Pai pressed his shoulders and pulled away a short distance, carefully wiped off the wet tears on Xu Rui's face, stood up, pointed to the bowl of Laba porridge that was less than half eaten, and said, "Eat it while it's hot."

Xu Rui didn't understand what Lin Pai meant, so he picked up the spoon and drank up the bowl of porridge.

The train ticket to go back was booked in the evening of the next day. Before leaving the hotel, Lin Pai received a call from his grandmother, saying that Lin Kangrong had arrived home, and told him to hurry back.

Even after spending so many years with his grandma day and night, Lin Pai had to admit that he rarely heard such a happy voice from her.

Xu Rui carried two bags by himself. Apart from necessary exchanges such as what to eat at noon and when the train will arrive, Xu Rui hardly talked to Lin Pai. give him time...

The return train started, and the siren pierced the night again.

After stopping at several stations, no one got on the bus in their compartment, and the next station will have to wait until tomorrow morning.

Xu Rui bought the lower berth again, so he asked Lin Pai who was in the middle berth if he wanted to change, but Lin Pai refused.

At night, the lights in the aisle of the train were turned off, and they didn't turn on the small desk lamp, so the compartment was pitch black.

Except for the occasional whispers from other compartments drifting over, the clearest sounds are the siren and the wind outside the window.

Xu Rui had been suffering from insomnia, and felt that Lin Pai might be asleep. He was worried that tossing and turning would disturb him, so he lay on his side without moving.

Sometimes I open my eyes and look at the scenery passing by outside the window, and close my eyes when I feel tired, but I still can't fall asleep.

He didn't know what time it was, the voices in the carriage almost disappeared, replaced by light or heavy grunting.

It was at this time that Lin Pai's bed started to move. He saw Lin Pai crawling down, but he didn't know what he was going to do, so he closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep.

After a while, Xu Rui felt that someone was tucking his quilt, and then someone got into his quilt, and the pillow next to him sank.

Xu Rui opened his eyes and saw Lin Pai's eyes close at hand. He shrank and moved inside to make room for Lin Pai, "What are you doing? Do you want to change the bed?"

Lin Pai shook his head, moved closer to Xu Rui, rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "I want to sleep with my boyfriend."

The moonlight is dim, the snow falls into the mud, the night wind disturbs the weeds, and life suddenly appears.

Surprised and delighted, Xu Rui continued to move inside in a hurry until his back hit the partition, "This bed is narrow, you should lie down more."

Getting what you want in this world is mostly accompanied by worries about gains and losses.

"Yeah." Lin Pai burrowed into his arms, and carefully touched his face with one hand. It didn't look swollen anymore, but the slap print could still be seen, "Does it still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

Xu Rui took his hand and put it on his neck. Lin Pai raised his head slightly and kissed his ear.

"I suddenly feel a little pain, why don't you kiss me again?"

Lin Pai smiled and pulled out his hand, pretending to slap on the original slap print.

"Hiss... this really hurts."

"Are you considering becoming an actor?" Lin Pai teased.

"Don't think about it, and you can't go either."

"why?"

"Because your face can only be shown to me, and if you want to take off your clothes as an actor, I will definitely mess things up."

Lin Pai was amused by him, Xu Rui hugged him and put a kiss on his forehead.

"Hey, by the way, what did your mother tell you yesterday that made you so unhappy?"

"It seems to be nothing, just say that Lin Kangrong went back to Heshan Town yesterday, she has something to do here and can't go back, and she also said some things about the inconsistencies between the adults."

"Nothing? Forget it, no matter what they are, it's a matter of the previous generation, let them go." Xu Rui played with Lin Pai's lock of hair, and said next to his ear, "As long as we Just be together."

"Well, as long as we're together."

39. Chapter 39

"Ah! I'm finally back, and the bed at home is still comfortable!"

Xu Rui threw his backpack on the ground casually, leaned back, and fell into the quilt.

Lin Pai poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser, and while drinking, handed the other glass to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui took the water, barely sat up and took a sip, then poured it back immediately. He patted the place beside him and said, "Come on, boyfriend, come here."

Lin Pai sat beside him with a water glass, propped one arm on the edge of the bed, and looked at him sideways.

"What are you looking at me for?" Xu Rui pulled his arm back.

Lin Pai raised the glass of water to him, but he didn't pull him away, "I'm holding the water... If you don't look at who are you looking at?"

"Are you going back tonight? Do you want me to cook for you?"

"In my impression... you seem to only be able to make instant noodles besides hot pot."

Xu Rui burst out laughing, held his hand and squeezed it, "You found out...so are you going back tonight?"

"Well, I told my grandma that the train will arrive tonight and I will go back later."

Hearing this, Xu Rui suddenly jumped up from the bed, almost startling Lin Pai, "Then you can leave later, I'm going out, I'll be right back!"

"Hey, what are you doing..." Before Lin Pai finished speaking, Xu Rui didn't even have time to put on his coat, and ran down the stairs and out the door like a rabbit.

Lin Pai got up and put the water glass on the desk, and walked around Xu Rui's room. There were two basketballs in the corner, one was flat and limp, and the other was full of gas. Lin Pai picked it up and took a picture. Twice, startled by the echo in the whole house, quickly stopped and put it back in the corner.

Medals, spikes, old test papers, posters of sports stars... Lin Pai sat down at the desk and found a book next to the pen holder that didn’t match the style of the desk. Slight wear and tear.He thought about it, but still didn't touch it.

"Lin Pai!"

About 10 minutes later, Xu Rui appeared at the door of the room again. Lin Pai looked over and saw him holding the door frame with one hand, bending over and panting heavily, but with a very happy expression on his face.

"What did you do?" Lin Pai asked him curiously and amusedly.

Xu Rui approached him, and suddenly held out a rose from behind with the other hand, "For you! Before the end of our first day of dating, fortunately there is time..."

Lin Pai took the flower with a smile, the dark red petals were still stained with water drops, he played with it in his hand, as if he had got some rare treasure, "Where did you buy it in such a short time?"

"It's the flower shop closest to my house. There are no festivals recently. The proprietress originally said that the roses were about to be reserved, but the boss came out from the flower room at the back and said that the batch ordered by the customer a few days ago arrived yesterday, and there was one more rose. Sold it to me, do you think it’s a coincidence?”
