I finally fell into my own hands

On the other side, Hei Hei wandered around the snowy Winter City a few more times, catching a few lonely ghosts to fill his stomach, and reckoning that it was almost time, he floated back to the dessert house to pick up cakes.

The clerk really followed what he said, put the cake in the carton on the shelf next to the window, and wrote a happy adult greeting card with her own hand, leaving a sweet smiley expression behind the delicate handwriting, black With a smile on the corner of Hei Lips, he picked up the cake and left a note to say thank you.

At that time, close to closing time, the female clerk was packing unsold bread and pastries. When she looked back, the matcha strawberry mille-feuille by the window had been taken away. She walked over to pick up the note and smiled when she saw the word thank you. The other party must be a shy and kind boy, so he folded it carefully and put it in his coat pocket.

It was almost eleven o'clock when she came home from work and got off the subway that day. In order to save rent, she lived far away from the urban area. Her apartment was located in a very remote place. It took nearly 10 minutes to walk from the subway station, and the road was covered in black paint. She usually rides a shared bicycle all the way back to the painted construction site, but it happened that the bicycles were gone tonight, so she had to walk.

When she just passed through the underground tunnel, the female shop assistant heard footsteps behind her, and the rustling was getting closer and closer. She walked quickly, and the other party also accelerated her pace. She took out the front camera of her mobile phone and looked back. Under the dim light, there was A burly, scruffy man with a large windbreaker hat covering most of his face.

She found that something was wrong, her heart was beating thumpingly in her chest, and it was about to pop out of her throat. The leak happened in the rainy night, and her mobile phone suddenly lost signal. I sprained my foot.

The footsteps behind her were getting closer and closer, and she could almost smell the strong smell of alcohol and tobacco on the other person's body. Fear surged up all of a sudden, the female clerk gritted her teeth and ran away. He reached out and grabbed the girl's long hair and pulled it on himself. The female shop assistant struggled and shouted to no avail!

Just when she was so frightened that she shed tears and thought that it would be cold here today, a thank you note in her pocket floated out and ignited into a cluster of fireballs in the dim tunnel. The hand that smelled of tobacco paused, and then the other party let out a short scream, let go of the girl, turned and ran.

The female clerk looked back in surprise, and saw the wretched man with frightened face white as paper, lips trembling, trembling, she said sorry, she ran away, and disappeared in the underground passage in less than a blink of an eye.

The female shop assistant got up from the ground, coughing while clutching her red neck, tears and snot criss-crossing her body, and her body was trembling. She closed the torn coat and found that the note that fell on the ground had been burned to ashes.

But...it's winter, the tunnel is cold and damp, how could the note spontaneously ignite and turn into ashes?The girl was still in shock at the moment, so naturally she didn't have the heart to think about this note, she grabbed the bag that fell on the ground and ran back home.

On the other side, Hei Hei has already returned to the old apartment in Mao'er Alley with the matcha mille-feuille cake. Looking from the outside, the house is dark, and Qi Ye is probably still asleep.

Hei Hei floated into the room, carrying the cold air outside the room, because before going out, he closed the window and turned on the heater, and the room was warm, he wondered if Qi Ye would wake up in a while, so he opened the refrigerator and put the cake in .

He thought, when Qi Ye unpacked the cake and saw the words "Happy Birthday to me" on the cake, everything would be clear.

It's time to confess to him.Even if he didn't say it, Qi Ye should have noticed it, but heihei didn't know what to do, would this child feel scared or even disgusted by it?

Even if the other party is himself, Hei Hei is not sure how Qi Ye will react at this moment, he made the worst plan, if Qi Ye cannot accept his existence, he will disappear forever.

The moment Hei Hei closed the refrigerator door, he noticed someone standing behind him, and he slightly raised the corner of his lips: "Did I wake you up?"

Looking back, the eyes of the two collided in the darkness. Seeing that Qi Ye's lips moved but he was silent after all, he clicked his tongue in a dark voice: "You are really good, you ran back from the hospital by yourself behind Ah Xiao's back." .”

Qi Ye looked at him and pursed his lips: "I don't like staying in the hospital."

Hei Hei floated over and rubbed his messy head just after waking up, with the same attitude as usual: "Don't worry, I'll hide it from you."

"……Um."

"Understandable, who wants to spend their birthday in the hospital?"

Hei Hei said casually, and Qi Ye's rhetorical question went with the flow: "How do you know it's my birthday?"

Hei Hei looked back at those eyes that seemed to be able to see everything in the darkness: "I don't know what about you?"

One person and one ghost confronted each other for a while, Qi Ye swallowed the words who are you, and then asked, "Bought a cake?"

"Well, let's celebrate when we're an adult." He opened the refrigerator and took out a cake and handed it to Qi Ye: "Happy birthday."

Qi Ye hugged the cake and smiled: "I can't finish it by myself."

"Help me eat more."

"Is this the birthday present you gave me?"

Hei Hei smiled, "When you open the cake box, there will be a gift inside."

Qi Ye slightly raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"

"You'll find out later."

Hei Hei patted him on the shoulder and urged Qi Ye to sit down on the sofa. The cake was placed on a small square table that was not old. On the coffee table, I found what Xu Mian had left last time.

Hei Hei didn't want to use will-o'-the-wisps for the candles lit for Qi Ye's day.

Qi Ye questioned calmly: "Aren't the candles on the cake?"

Hei Hei: "Make a wish first, and then open it."

This is obviously not in line with the general birthday celebration process, but Qi Ye agreed without hesitation. He guessed that there was something strange in the cake, but it didn't matter.

Just do as Heihei wishes.

Hei Hei dripped the wax on the cake box and fixed the candles, and the fire immediately lit up Qi Ye's with crackling sound.

The flickering candles in the house isolate the flying snow from the window, forming an independent, closed and warm small world.Across the dancing firelight, Qi Ye looked at Hei Hei who was staring at the candle seriously, and the fox's face was also glowing gently against the firelight.

He saw that the corners of the dark lips were slightly raised, and the eyes under the mask were also smiling: "Look at what I do, make a wish."

Qi Ye didn't have time to look back, and the desire in his eyes was the same, his throat moved, but he only said in his heart: What about you?

When Qi Ye closed his eyes, Hei Hei kept looking at him, the candlelight was flickering, his thick long eyelashes cast two shallow shadows on his cheeks, which trembled with the flames, Hei Hei had an illusion, The guy's eyelashes scratched his heart, itching.

His heart, which had been out of business for a long time, beat again inexplicably.

Not long after, Qi Ye opened his eyes and raised his eyebrows darkly: "Is it promised so soon?"

Qi Ye nodded, his obsidian-like eyes hid light: "I have had this wish for a long time."

After a pause, he continued, "There is one thing I wanted to ask a long time ago."

The moment Heihei and him looked at each other, it was instantly confirmed. Although he had been mentally prepared, although he had made a confession plan, and even prepared the birthday card on the cake, but...at the end, he There is an urge to throw the cake on the ground.

Once this layer of window paper is pierced, the relationship between them will develop in an unknowable and uncontrollable direction, and even without development... it will be broken directly.

Although the thoughts in my heart were surging, the black face was still watertight: "You ask, I will not hide it from you."

Qi Ye looked at him, and saw the panic and hesitation in his eyes without moving, and a faint smile floated on the corner of his lips: "Well, let's talk about it in exchange."

"what?"

"You also have something you want to tell me, right? I happen to have it too, so we exchanged it."

Hei Hei hesitated for a moment, then simply said: "Okay, maybe it's one thing."

Qi Ye smiled unusually: "That's not necessarily true."

"Actually, what I want to tell you is inside the cake." Hei Hei unwrapped the cake box for Qi Ye, the action was very careful, and the candles on the box kept burning brightly.

Qi Ye calmly looked at the black fingers, at the peeling paper shell, at the slightly melted matcha green cream wrapped in strawberries at room temperature, and at the truth revealed——

"Wish me... happy birthday?" These six words were clearly written on the chocolate sign on the cake.

Hei Hei did not raise his head, but pursed his lips while looking at the dancing candlelight: "Qi Ye, I am actually you."

Qi Ye: "..."

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Heihei's nervousness gradually eased, replaced by a sinking heart: "I guess you have already noticed something, so..."

"So, today is also your birthday."

Qi Ye spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, like the most common daily conversation.

Hei Hei glanced at him hastily, but he still smiled: "Then you just let me make a wish, why don't you make it yourself?"

Her black lips were dry: "Qiye, you..."

"Oh, by the way, what I wanted to say just now is..." The smile on Qi Ye's face gradually widened, and the gaze he looked over also frankly wrote desire: "I like you."

The air was silent for a moment, and it seemed that after a century, he was stunned: "Huh?"

"I, like you." Qi Ye repeated, every word clearly.

Ask him to repeat it as many times as he wants.

Heihei was suddenly in a bad mood: "Eh? No! Qi Ye, did you hear what I just said?"

Qi Ye nodded indifferently: "I understand, you are me."

"Well, yes, ah no, how can you...?"

Qi Ye opened his eyes and looked at Hei Hei, who was at a loss. This was the first time he saw Hei Hei's frizzy appearance, and he thought it was very cute. He couldn't help a smile from the corner of his lips: "What can't be done?"

Heihei looked embarrassed: "What do you like about me..."

Qi Ye: "Why not."

Hei Hei: "..." How the hell do you explain this? !

Qi Ye: "That's what I wanted you to know just now."

Hei Hei didn't know how to respond, his brain crashed, and he mocked in his heart that what they said was really not the same thing!And then hastily.

Grass oneself.

"Qiye..."

"Ok?"

Hei Hei suddenly gave a wry smile: "So, are you confessing your love to me?"

Qi Ye nodded, his eyes were gentle and firm: "Yes."
