kiss the night

When Yan Zhao woke up again, it was dark outside, and the wind was blowing desperately, causing the branches outside the window to sway and make strange noises.

According to the local weather forecast, this year's winter in Renal City is very unusual. In addition to the rare blizzard, there is also a sharp drop in temperature that has not been seen in decades.However, this is Yan Zhao's first winter here, and he doesn't feel anything superfluous, this is just a strange city to him.

The clock on the wall was moving, and the second hand made a "click, click" sound. Yan Zhao coughed. He tried to get up to get some water for himself, but found that his whole body was as heavy as a sponge full of water.

The door of his room was opened, and Si Qi walked in.

I don't know if it's because there is only one orange desk lamp turned on in the room, but Si Qi's expression is gentler than before, as if he has returned to the time when Yan Zhao first met him more than ten years ago.

At that time, his adoptive father was seriously ill. When he was six years old, he was taken to the Si family. He saw Si Qi in the garden for the first time. Born with a golden spoon, he and himself are completely in two worlds.

The difference between clouds and mud can't even give birth to jealousy, so Yan Zhao can only stand quietly in the yard with his head down.

At that time, the young master in the garden raised his head first, put the crooked wreath in Yan Zhao's hand with a smile, and said to him, "Are you the younger brother who wants to come to my house? It's better than I imagined." Be good-looking, like a younger sister." The "sister" in the child's mouth was not malicious, at least Yan Zhao didn't find it too embarrassing when he heard it at the time, he only thought that the elder brother in the new family seemed easy to get along with.

In the first few years, Si Qi always showed such a gentle smile to him. In the huge Si house, Si Qi was the only one who would take the initiative to talk to Yan Zhao, and he also took care of him everywhere, helping him through his adoptive father's childhood. It was a difficult time when I was seriously ill and died.

"woke up?"

Si Qi's words pulled Yan Zhao out of his memories, he looked up in a daze, and just about to answer him, he found that his throat seemed to be blocked with a large ball of cotton, and his throat hurt so much that he almost shed tears.

Yan Zhao could only nod his head, hoping that Si Qi would not fuss about such a trivial matter.

Fortunately, Si Qi not only didn't argue with him, but rather considerately put a glass filled with warm water into Yan Zhao's hand, along with a white pill: "Zhao Zhao, you have a fever."

Holding the cup, Yanzhao swallowed the pills. Moisturized by clear water, he was finally able to speak, but he apologized again: "I'm sorry, I..."

"I was also at fault." Si Qi interrupted him, "I forgot to clean it up for you afterwards, it's a bit inflamed, please ask the family doctor to see it."

Listening to what he said, Yan Zhao felt a little dazed in his brain, and couldn't help asking: "What date is it today?"

"number 26."

Yan Zhao was even more surprised, he didn't expect that he fell asleep for a whole day.His last consciousness was being dragged to the bed by Si Qi, and then there was no more, he seemed to be so frightened that he was directly broken into pieces.

Si Qi didn't care what was going on in his head, lifted the quilt, and patted Yan Zhao's belly: "Turn around, I'll give you medicine."

"Apply...apply the medicine?" Yan Zhao reacted for a few seconds, and then realized what Si Qi was talking about. , don't bother you."

It was rare for Si Qi to put down his body to take care of others, but his face was hot and his ass was cold. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he put down the medicine and left.

Yan Zhao watched the door close in front of him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, slowly turned his body, and began to apply medicine to himself with great difficulty.After all, this is not the first time he has done such a thing. On his birthday, Si Qi gave him such a "big gift", and when he woke up the next day, he was in so much pain that he couldn't walk, but there was no one at home. , I can only limp and go to the pharmacy to buy medicine and apply it on my own.

He defended Si Qi from the bottom of his heart, it should be the first time for the two of them together, Si Qi has never been a subordinate, so naturally he doesn't understand these things.

After slowly applying the medicine, Yanzhao raised his head and it was time to sleep again. Yanzhao had a fever and his sweat hadn't fallen yet. He only felt weak in his limbs and wanted to have a good sleep, so he didn't think about those things any more. Some did not, he fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

Illnesses come and go like a mountain, and the next winter vacation is also spent recuperating from injuries. It is rare for Si Qi not to hang out with friends—the first semester always has a lot of homework to do, no matter what, The Si family didn't send their youngest son out for the sake of enjoying themselves.

Therefore, even though he wanted to go to Meridell Church to thank the kind priest, Yan Zhao never found a chance to do it.

In mid-January, the Renal Municipal University begins.

This is a rainy city. On the first day of school, the sky was still gray, with light rain falling down. The cold winter has not yet faded, mixed with rain, making the spring of the whole city seem far away.Yan Zhao got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast for two in the kitchen.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and then a figure hugged Yan Zhao from behind, and Si Qi rested his chin on Yan Zhao's shoulder, shaking his body.

Yanzhao's hands that were cutting tomatoes trembled, and the juice splashed onto his side face: "Si Qi, I'm preparing breakfast." The implication is that he hopes that he will not torment himself at this time.

Obviously the young master will not let him go because of Yan Zhao's words.

Si Qi poked his head out and hooked the tomato juice off his face with the tip of his tongue: "You're cute when you're obedient, I can reward you for adding more bacon to yourself today, happy start of school."

Yan Zhao kept silent, he actually didn't like to talk about his food hobbies with Si Qi... Maybe it can't be called hobbies, but more like a physiological disease.Humans are obviously an omnivorous animal, but his body doesn't seem to be able to absorb vegetables and fruits, and even rice and noodles are not enough, he only wants to eat meat.

After that incident, Si Qi cried and asked his family to take Yanzhao to the hospital. The examination results were all normal. There was no lack of certain trace elements in his body, nor did any taste nerves be miswired. .

He's just weird, in every way.

Driving on a rainy day is inconvenient, and it took a long time to drive a not-so-long road. Si Qi sat in the driver's seat and complained about the damn weather, while the female anchor on the car radio was still broadcasting today's news unshakably.

"Early this morning, a male corpse was found in the eastern suburbs of our city. According to the forensic doctor, it was initially determined that it was a wild animal that injured someone. The police are still investigating further. The police department reminds the general public to try not to go to the forest area at night, so as not to..."

"Damn it, you can't play something good in the morning." Si Qi angrily changed the channel of the car radio, and the female anchor's voice was replaced by a piece of rhythmic electronic music.

Yan Zhao sat beside him without making a sound. He looked out of the window with his cheeks on his hands. The rain hit the glass, reflecting the blurred appearance of this foreign street.

He always felt uncomfortable in his heart, maybe because he was not an adaptable person, his cognition of the surrounding environment was still in a metropolis crowded with Asians, and he suddenly came to a certain place in the New World. In a small coastal town, there were even incidents of wild beasts hurting people... I always feel a weird feeling of space distortion.

On rainy days, the school's parking lot is full of colorful cars, and students of all skin types walk in twos and threes on the stone roads of the campus.

"Send me a text message after the class. The mobile phone is for contacting you. It's not for you to treat it like a brick every day and keep it there." Si Qi opened the door and got out of the car. The irritable mood has not dissipated. His tone towards Yan Zhao was not very kind either.

Yan Zhao has long been used to his hot and cold attitude, "Yes", and walked in the opposite direction with his schoolbag in his arms.

Although he and Si Qi were arranged in the same school, they studied completely different majors. The Si family needed an heir who could be in charge in the future. Therefore, he chose Renal City University, a top-ranked finance department, for his son. Yan Zhao, the "accompanying prince", went to the Department of History.

Renal Municipal University has not been established for a long time, the development of different majors is not balanced, and there are obvious inclinations in resources. The main building of the School of Economics in the front row has been renovated in the past two years, and it looks magnificent from a distance. , while the School of Humanities is hidden deep in the school. It is a small red brick building. It is difficult to even confirm the function of this small building unless you carefully read the listing at the door.

This difference is like Si Qi and Yan Zhao himself, there is a huge gap, and it is difficult to bridge the gap between them with later efforts.

On the first day of school, I had to report first. Among the fashionable young college students, Yan Zhao, an honest Asian with a simple black backpack on his back, stood out. Soon, several students came over to strike up a conversation with him. It was hard to tell whether the tone was friendly or hypocritical.

Yanzhao's English level is only at the level of understanding, and he can't guarantee that the sentences he speaks will not have an accent. Therefore, he who was originally taciturn became even quieter, and the few students who came to strike up a conversation saw him as unreasonable The meaning of the person, said a few words and left.

"Hi Zhao!"

After finally making it to class, Yan Zhao heard a lively female voice coming from beside him. It was a white girl, and the two met in the professional class last semester.At that time, Jessie said that her family just adopted a girl from Asia, so she was very interested in Yan Zhao's country and hoped to learn more cultural knowledge from him.

Yanzhao had no experience in rejecting girls, so Jesse became one of the few friends he had in this school.

"Good morning." A smile appeared on Yan Zhao's face.

Jesse is a very familiar girl, she sat next to Yan Zhao naturally, took out a notebook from her school bag and threw it on the table, propped her head and chatted mysteriously with Yan Zhao: "Did you hear To this morning's news?"

"what?"

"It's the incident where wild animals attack people."

Jessie's voice was not low. Hearing her talk about this, the boy in front also turned his head and joined the gossip team: "I heard, and I have some gossip."

"What is it?"

The boy got closer and whispered: "My father works in the police station, and he told me that that person is probably a student of our school."

"What!?" The news was so explosive that Jesse couldn't help exclaiming, and Yan Zhao, who was sitting quietly listening, couldn't help but frowned, apparently he didn't expect this incident to be so close to him .

"Hey, don't be so surprised, there aren't many people in our city, aren't there?" The male student signaled Jesse to keep his voice down, and he glanced at Yan Zhao who was beside him, and continued, "The media hasn't disclosed it yet, because There are many suspicious points in this case, so I said that the police have not been able to determine the identity of the person, but our school has reported the case of a suspected missing student before, and the figure and age can match..."

"Class is over." The professor of general history of Europe came in. He was a serious old man, he would rather cough non-stop after class, and always give lectures at the highest volume during class.

The gossip was forced to pause, the male student in the front row shrugged his shoulders and turned back, while Jesse was still immersed in the topic just now, and sighed "Oh my God" in a low voice.
