Days of Love with Tyrannosaurus Rex

"Noah, the kitchen...uh...windows..."

Eli broke free from the tighter and tighter embrace, and walked quickly to the open window of the kitchen. Just in time, a purple lightning flashed across the sky not far away, and the rain outside hit his face. Waking up from the distraction designed by him, he took a deep breath, turned his back to Noah and calmed down his shortness of breath briefly.

This is not going to work, he told himself, but all his attention was distracted by his new orange-scented body wash.Noah, who had just finished taking a bath, followed behind him, put his feet up and closed the upper window, but without giving him more time to react, he blew on the cold medicine in a decent way, and drank it with a frown. After a few sips, I handed it to him, and said, "Go to bed after drinking, Eli usually falls asleep at this time."

"How do you know when I sleep? We don't sleep in the same room."

Noah laughed: "I guess."

Eli looked away from his smile, drank the remaining cold medicine, went to rinse the cup on the tap, and Noah cleaned the small milk pot and spoon in the adjacent sink. The two stood side by side in the narrow In the kitchen, shoulder to shoulder, listening to the stormy concerto outside, as well as the unchanging sound of the TV in the living room, coincidentally fell silent.

"Noah, are you willing to contact other humans?" Eli asked tentatively.

"No, I only like Eli." Noah answered in his ear.

"Why don't you like humans?"

Noah turned his head and glanced at Eli's downcast side face, as if weighing how to answer this question.

"It's not that I don't like it, I just don't want to deal with humans."

"But this world is now a human world. If you want to be absolutely free, you must be relatively unfree. I can't be by your side forever, Noah." Eli paused for a few seconds, and the dishcloth Wipe off the water in the water glass, "I planned to create a fake identity for you, and send you abroad in a few days, preferably a country on the other side of the ocean, so that no one will know you, you You can get rid of this cautious life."

Noah kissed him on the cheek, arranged the washed pots and spoons, and said with a smile: "Eli always worries about me, but I'm the one who holds the right to choose, right?"

"..."

Eli looked at Noah's face with some surprise. Not long ago, his little dragon had just evolved into a human being, with thick armor remaining on his body, stuttering when speaking, and shedding tears at every turn.Did Noah grow up too fast, or did he forget to change his mentality?

Unbelievably, he saw Noah pick out his favorite peach-flavored fudge from the sugar jar in the cabinet, and was about to throw it into his mouth. The parent's keen intuition made him quickly hold Noah's wrist, and the latter But he threw the sugar directly into his mouth.

"...Eat candy before going to bed, those bugs will decay your teeth!" Eli screwed up the sugar bowl angrily, and Noah swallowed the candy in two or three strokes, then kissed Eli's lips, Satisfied, she went to the bathroom to get a toothbrush, and said in her mouth: "I just drank the medicine. Of course I have to eat sugar after drinking the medicine. Eli also wants to eat it."

"What kind of nonsense is this?" Eli licked the sweetness on his lips, sighed, thinking that he was still like a child, then wiped the water stains in the kitchen, and followed into the living room.

Noah, who was supposed to go to the bathroom to brush his teeth, was standing in front of the TV, staring at something motionless.

"What's wrong?" Eli followed and walked beside him.

The TV broadcasting the boring legal program did not know when the news was broadcast. The announcer spoke too fast, and even made a mistake in the middle of the sentence. Obviously, it was a temporary emergency scene:

"It is reported that at 18:2 am on the 50th, a large-scale dinosaur riot occurred at the border of Sylvia City and Sylvia Forest. Hundreds of dinosaurs suddenly appeared near the urban area and broke out with the army that went to hunt There was a fierce frontal conflict, and the battle lasted for nearly an hour. Unfortunately, all the teams involved in the hunt were wiped out, and no one survived."

The face of the announcer with exquisite makeup was switched, and a video of less than five seconds was played on the TV. Because the surrounding environment was too dark, only the firework-like flames from the hot weapons could be seen in the severely shaken lens. The man was panting violently, shouting "Rescue is coming! Get out!" The sound of gunfire filled the entire audio system, and someone shouted something indistinctly, and the person holding the camera shouted "Be careful...!" Then , His voice was covered by the deafening gunfire and the roar of the helicopter crashing, and soon even the picture turned into darkness.

The screen switched back to the bright and peaceful studio, and the announcer said heavily: "A total of 15 soldiers and 3 officers who participated in the hunt were all buried at the border of the Sylvia Forest. Fortunately, these hundreds of dinosaurs They did not invade the urban area of ​​Sylvia, but entered the depths of the primeval forest. According to expert analysis, combined with the recent dynamics of global dinosaurs, they are likely to be undergoing an unprecedented migration. The Sylvia Forest is exactly One of their migration destinations."

The screen switched to the aerial photography of the forest. Under the bright sunshine, this piece of the world's largest and most dense virgin forest is full of vitality, showing its endless green without hesitation.

"Sylvia Forest is called the lung of the planet. It is the largest primeval forest on land and the most mysterious piece of land on land. There are many dangerous areas that humans have never set foot on. Many people speculate that dinosaurs will go west The Silvia forest is one of the migration destinations, perhaps to isolate it from human living space."

The screen switched again, a man with a beard was sitting in the office, a series of titles floating in the lower right corner, he coughed twice, facing the camera and said: "Before the Buhad earthquake, there appeared in the reserve Some types of dinosaurs reproduced rapidly, but they were well controlled by humans. Now they are out of the framework of the protected area, and their numbers and wisdom have exploded, and they suffer from the squeeze of living space by humans, so there will be off-seasons The Great Migration of Sex."

The reporter outside the camera asked: "According to your statement, whether there have been highly evolved species among dinosaurs, have enough wisdom to choose suitable migration destinations, and have passed this message quickly and on a large scale? Its kind? Otherwise, how did those dinosaurs far away from the Sylvia Forest know the information of the Sylvia Forest?"

The bearded expert smiled: "Your guess is also a possibility. How the dinosaurs were organized together is the question that worries us the most. You should know that not all dinosaurs They are all creatures that like to live in groups. Among them, carnivorous dinosaurs and herbivorous dinosaurs still have a natural hostile relationship, but now they have shown an organization beyond the food chain. This is a very scary thing. We have established an international special investigation The team will figure out the reason as soon as possible, and take effective countermeasures as quickly as possible—if you want to understand what those ancient creatures are thinking, you must at least understand how they speak."

Camera switch.

The female anchor reappeared on the screen and said in a standard broadcast voice: "Recently, the police will conduct a large-scale vigilance against the cities and villages near the Sylvia Forest, and relocate ordinary people when necessary to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Happened. For more information about dinosaurs, please pay attention to the official Twitter of Mainichi Shimbun..."

Noah turned off the TV.

"Eli," he put his arm around the stiff shoulders of the person beside him, "you don't look very well, it's time to rest."

Eli held Noah's cold hand, and many thoughts came to his mouth, but he didn't know which one to say for a while.

"We may be relocated," he said as naturally as possible. "This place is too close to Sylvia Forest, and there have been several incidents of dinosaurs before. Maybe the police will come to the house tomorrow and advise us to move immediately."

"Don't worry, I will protect Eli."

"Would you... feel sad?"

Noah held Eli back and said with a smile, "Why are you sad? As long as you're with Eli, it doesn't matter where you live."

"No, I mean the news," Eli said.

He turned his head and looked at Noah's face with some worry, but there was nothing on the latter's face, not even a change in his breathing rate. The emerald pupils looked back at Eli, tilted his head slightly and said: "Sad What about the news?"

"About...uh, dinosaurs and..."

Noah still stared at him with clear eyes.

Eli was discouraged, and didn't finish the rest of the sentence. He rubbed Noah's soft cheeks vigorously, and said, "Okay, go brush your teeth and go to bed. It doesn't matter if you move, I just take you to another place have a look."

Noah nodded and said again: "I will protect Eli well."

Eli laughed, "Good night."

"Good night."

Eli entered the room, lay down on the quilt again, closed his eyes, but the short video of less than five seconds kept appearing in his mind, those roars and gunshots were intertwined, overlapping with Noah's handsome face together.He has insomnia.

Noah outside seemed to have finished washing and turned off the lights in the living room.The light seeping in through the crack of the door also disappeared, and Eli's room was plunged into total darkness.He missed Noah's warm and firm body, turned over, buried his face in the pillow, and fell into a light sleep with difficulty.

Before he even had time to dream, Noah entered his room at some point, calling his name while shaking him gently, Eli opened his eyes in a daze, and then heard the deafening siren .The entire sleeping town was awakened, his heart tightened, and he sat up from the bed.
