Cannibalize

.There are candlesticks and a bottle of white roses on the tattered cabinet beside the bed.

Seeing this bottle of fresh, moist flowers, Xiao Che realized that he hadn't stayed in the basement for too long.Probably because he had never stayed here before, this time, he felt like he had been in the basement for many days.

Xiao Che couldn't help but reached out and fiddled with the petals.

A few snow-white petals fell down.

Xiao Che noticed that there was a picture album under the vase.

Ah, isn't this the picture book of fairy tales for teenagers?

Glancing at the boy, he was still in a deep sleep.

Xiao Che pulled out the album and opened it in the dim candlelight.

The pictures inside are colorful. At first glance, I thought all the works were abstract works.But if you look carefully, you will find that the pictures are constantly improving. The outlines of many protagonists have actually been drawn many times. Even the fonts on the lines have gradually become beautiful from the rather childish fonts at the beginning.Xiao Che turned to the back, and was very surprised to find that the pictures on the back became clear and beautiful, and the fonts were also very elegant and beautiful.Flip back and it's gone...

Xiao Che was a little surprised. Is this an unfinished fairy tale?

He suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to the first page.

After searching for a long time, I finally found a place similar to the signature.

There, only two letters.

"XC"

This is, the boy's name?

After all, even though we have known each other for so long, Xiao Che has never known the boy's name.Now, as if he had discovered the other party's secret, his heart was pounding.

What two words are XC?

"What are you looking at?"

Xiao Che was startled by the boy's sudden voice.

He looked at the boy.The boy propped his head up and stared at Xiao Che as if he had never slept.Rarely, there was no smile on his face, and his blue-purple eyes shimmered in the darkness, like the eyes of a cold-blooded animal, cold, cruel and extremely penetrating.

When the young man smiles, he is absolutely gentle as jade; and once he doesn't smile, for example when he steps on his father, or when he suddenly wakes up and grabs his wrist, he looks like , is terrible.

"XC, is that your name?" Xiao Che asked.

The boy stood up and leaned towards Xiao Che.Xiao Che could feel the icy breath on his body, but the haze on his face had completely disappeared.

His voice was soft: "That's my pen name, Xuechen."

"Which two words?"

"The snow of snowflakes, the morning of the morning. When I first drew this fairy tale, it was a snowy morning. My favorite person gave me this name."

The boy looked at the two letters and smiled with his eyelashes drooping.It seems that he has returned to that snowy morning, as if he is getting such a name from the person he likes in the snowflakes, his eyes are shining brightly.Xiao Che was inexplicably jealous of the person who gave him his pseudonym, but in the blink of an eye, he felt that his jealousy was a little inexplicable...

The teenager never said he liked himself.

I also... just have a desire to get close to him, just be attracted by his fragrance, don't I like it?

And, what exactly is liking?

I have never liked anyone, I really don't know.

Xiao Che suddenly felt dizzy.After a while, he asked stiffly, "Someone you like? Father?"

The young man shook his head.

"Who is that? Male or female?"

"Male." The boy smiled, "You don't know him."

Xiao Che felt even more depressed.But think about it, too.The people I knew when I was a child, I would not know when I was a teenager.So I forced myself to change the subject and asked what I wanted to ask the most: "Then, what is your real name?"

"Forgot." The boy replied without hesitation.

"How is it possible?!" Xiao Che couldn't believe it.

"It was a meaningless name. I haven't been called for a long time, so I will naturally forget it."

Is it because you don't want to mention it?Does his name evoke bad memories?That's why you don't want to tell yourself?

Xiao Che thought wildly.After a while, he looked at the two letters and whispered: "Xuechen."

The boy didn't make a sound.

Xiao Che turned his head to look at the young man beside him, and said again: "Xuechen."

The boy looked up at him.

"To be honest, I hate your 'favorite person' a little bit. Don't ask me why, I don't know! But, this name is quite suitable for you. You are all white, similar to snowflakes." Xiao Che grinned, with a domineering attitude, "Don't think about that person in the future, and let me call you Xuechen alone, how about it?"

"Okay."

The boy answered with a smile.

What I thought in my heart was: The person who gave me this pseudonym is you, idiot.

NIGHT23

Xiao Che handed the album to Xue Chen, and yawned: "Speaking of which, last time you stopped talking about the key parts, what happened afterwards?"

Xue Chen: "Later?"

"You said that little white bear went on an adventure with his father, and then what?"

Xue Chen opened the album, opened her lips in the candlelight, and said slowly, "Little White Bear and Papa Bear started their journey to find the antidote. They left home, waded across rivers, through jungles, through swamps and deserts, and met all kinds of people. All kinds of monsters. They met the mouse monster. Father Bear came forward and asked, mouse monster, mouse monster, do you know where the fairy who cures all diseases lives? The mouse monster replied, I don’t know, you can ask the frog prince , maybe he knows; they found the frog prince, and the little white bear came up and asked, "Frog prince, frog prince, do you know where the god who cures all diseases lives?" The frog prince replied, "I don't know, but I heard that it lives in Mr. Turtle by the Sea knows."

Xiao Che couldn't help laughing, thinking to himself, as expected of a story drawn by a child, the mouse monster, the scarecrow, Mr. Turtle...the imagination is really rich.

After pausing for a few seconds, Xuechen continued: "Day after day, month after month, but little white bear and father bear got nothing. Every time, I thought I saw a fairy, and thought that I could finally go home with the antidote and be with little white bear." The black bear reunited with the bear mother, but all they saw were monsters. One day, the bear father fell ill, and there was no way to save him. Then, the little white bear also fell ill. Maybe it was infected, or maybe it was just The disease in his genes finally broke out."

Xiao Che heard a little heavy, and asked: "And then?"

Xue Chen continued: "They were all desperate, but they actually met a fairy."

Xiao Che laughed: "So you got the antidote?"

Xue Chen stopped looking at the album, but looked up at Xiao Che.

In the faint candlelight, his eyes were shining brightly, a smile gradually appeared on his mouth, and his voice was very soft, as if he was whispering a secret: "The little white bear ate the god with one mouthful. Gazz Guzz, Guji Guji, Pudong, the little white bear crushed the fairy, swallowed it down his throat, and ate it clean."

Obviously Xuechen was speaking in a very pure and innocent voice, but cold sweat broke out from Xiao Che's back.

"Why?" Xiao Che didn't understand.Isn't it hard to finally see the gods?Wasn't the purpose at the beginning to understand the medicine?

"Why? Probably, the little white bear and little white bear's father at that time have already gone crazy?" Xue Chen said softly, and then turned another page, "Because he actually ate the fairy, little white bear made a big mistake , was cursed and turned into a complete monster. Half of the body is a teddy bear, and the other half is a fairy, well, it should be better described as a devil."

"Then?"

"Then, Little White Bear and Papa Bear had to go home. Not long after eating the fairy, Little White Bear was very, very hungry. His stomach was growling with hunger. He went to the fields to find corn to eat, but I can't swallow it; he goes fishing in the river, it tastes a little bit better, but it's not very good; he goes to drink honey from the tree, obviously that used to be his favorite thing, but now he wants to vomit."

"Because you ate a fairy, did you change your eating habits?"

Xuechen nodded: "Yes. Ordinary food can no longer satisfy Little White Bear. One day, they met a beautiful snake monster. Seeing Little White Bear and Father Bear, the snake monster was very tired and wanted to seduce and attack them. The fierce little white bear ate the snake demon in one mouthful. Gazigazi, gurgling, puffing. The little white bear crushed the snake demon, swallowed it into his throat, and ate it clean. Although it was not delicious Delicious food, but still enough to fill their stomachs; when they met the big bad wolf, the little white bear ate the big bad wolf with a whimper. Gaz gaz, gurgling, puffing. The little white bear crushed the big bad wolf, Swallow it down your throat and eat it clean. Although the beast smells bad, it still quenches your thirst..."

Xue Chen spoke slowly. For some reason, Xiao Che felt the air around him was getting colder. Every time he heard that kind of onomatopoeia coming out of Xue Chen's mouth, he felt his whole body trembling. goosebumps.

Xue Chen suddenly closed the book and looked at Xiao Che: "Are you hungry?"

Xiao Che froze for a moment, then nodded.

He checked the time, it was past nine o'clock, and he hadn't had breakfast yet, so he was indeed a little hungry.

"Xuechen, wait a moment, I'll go up and get some things down.

Xiao Che cautiously slipped upstairs.Sure enough, at his command, the servant had already left.He took two bottles of milk, two sandwiches with vegetables, and some bread.Inadvertently looking at his laptop, he suddenly remembered that he had never seen Xuechen watching TV... It should be said that there is no TV down there, let alone playing with the computer or watching movies.Thinking of this, he simply lifted his laptop.

This time, Xuechen didn't wait for him in the bedroom, but squatted in the narrow corner of the first room.
