Time has buried everything in the past, and now all Jiang Xiaoye can touch is Ji Heng's resolute and indifferent shell.
This night, she had more insomnia than she had ever been.
Zhou Bo's words kept replaying in his ears, as long as it was painful, whether it was his own or someone else's, whether it was in the past tense or in progress, it was always moving.
Ji Heng's past was like a new wound in her heart, which made her feel so painful that she couldn't rest down.
In the night, Steve's eyes opened vigilantly, and his dark eyes quietly looked at his tossing and turning master.
There was no moon tonight, the stars were dim, and everything was as silent as if swallowed up by the swamp, except for the tickling of the clock resting on the bedside, like someone in patent leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor, tirelessly walking around the side.
Alas, I really can't sleep at all.
Jiang Xiaoye sat up, twisted the lamp in distraction, the orange light cut through the black of the night, leaving a large shadow, and the puppy immediately ran from the nest to her feet, whimpering a little uneasily.
Jiang Xiaoye lifted the thin quilt, her slender feet slipped into the sandals, she nodded Steve's little nose, and touched its head: "Are you hungry, do you want to eat something?"
The proposal struck a chord, and the puppy wagged its tail in delight.
So, she crept out of the room like a thief, and Steve followed the hostess into the hallway.
The corridor was dark, only a glimmer of light came out of the crack in her slightly open door, Jiang Xiaoye had just taken a few steps forward, and Steve behind him suddenly let out a slight scream.
Jiang Xiaoye was startled, and before he could turn around, Ji Heng's tall figure had already approached in front of him, as if he had been salvaged from this boundless dark night, straight and cold.
"Ji Heng, I" She stammered and wanted to explain why she didn't sleep in the middle of the night and walked in the corridor, but Ji Heng ignored it and walked past her expressionlessly, his footsteps were very soft, and the shadow stretched by the dim light gradually disappeared into the darkness ahead.
"Whew" Steve's hair stood on end, and he let out a low growl.
Jiang Xiaoye was speechless, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, from knowing him to the present, Ji Heng at this moment was terrifyingly strange, which was daunting.
This strange scene plunged her into an unprecedented panic, as if something had collapsed from her heart, the sky was dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
The man turned a corner and walked straight to the balcony, Jiang Xiaoye followed with bated breath, and with every step, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, which was extremely heavy.
As if being dragged by the night, Ji Heng stepped into the vaulted balcony, and Jiang Xiaoye picked up Steve at his feet and made a silent gesture.
It was late at night, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, the crazy trees around the wall blocked the light of the nearby street lamps, except for the faint outline, nothing could be seen clearly, and at the moment when he was on the edge of the balcony, Ji Heng finally stopped, stood there motionless, and looked into the distance.
The man didn't speak, and he didn't jump down, and Jiang Xiaoye's heart hanging high fell back slightly.
Time passed minute by minute, like sand falling to the ground little by little, piling up sand, and turning into a desert again, Jiang Xiaoye didn't dare to move, or even dare to breathe at will, just standing in this boundless desert, silently waiting for him.
Suddenly, a hand patted her back, Jiang Xiaoye was startled, and quickly turned around, only to see Zhou Bo standing in front of her with a flashlight, signaling herself not to speak.
At the same time, Ji Heng turned around and walked straight back like a puppet, and with the aperture of the flashlight, Jiang Xiaoye actually saw his face with tears, and for some reason, these tears also burned her heart.
Jiang Xiaoye and Zhou Bo didn't dare to speak, and Steve didn't make a sound obediently, and the two of them watched Ji Heng return to his bedroom and close the door.
Zhou Bo patted his chest, sighed lightly, and pointed downstairs, so Jiang Xiaoye followed him down the stairs.
It wasn't until the lights in the dining room were turned on and the gentle and tranquil light poured into the pots and pans with a sense of reality that Zhou Bo breathed a sigh of relief, sat down silently, and buried his head in the crook of his arm.
"Do you want to drink some beer" Jiang Xiaoye took out two cans of beer from the refrigerator and put them on the table, and poured the milk in the carton into the puppy's food bowl, Steve excitedly leaned over to the basin and was busy licking the milk with his tongue.
Jiang Xiaoye opened a can of beer and drank it to herself, the chilled liquid made her stomach shiver with coldness, and her mouth was full of bitter taste, but it still couldn't dilute the nightmarish scene in her mind.
"You can also drink beer," Zhou Bo raised his eyes to look at the woman.
"I don't know, I just want to drink."
"Don't want to ask something?"
"I think you'll tell me."
"My sleep has always been relatively light, and this is the second time I have seen Ji Heng like this since I moved here."
"Why didn't you tell him" "I don't know how to say it, and I don't know if telling him will put him under more pressure."
Zhou Bo pulled the ring of the beer can, lowered his head and took a sip, avoiding Jiang Xiaoye's eyes and said lightly, "Don't look at this guy who looks handsome all day long, in fact, those are just his appearances."
When you meet a cold-blooded and ruthless father, a stepmother who is greedy for pleasure and only loves her own children, plus the juniors with ulterior motives, which one is a fuel-efficient lamp, even if it is a normal person, living in this suffocating atmosphere every day, it is estimated that sooner or later he will go crazy" Jiang Xiaoye was silent for a while, and said, "He is no longer alone, and there are us." ” "I hope so."
Zhou Bo glanced at Jiang Xiaoye deeply, "It's late at night, go to bed early." ” "Zhou Bo" Jiang Xiaoye stopped the man who got up and went upstairs, "Last time, did he also cry." ” "That's right."
Zhou Bo paused, then nodded, "That was the first time I saw Ji Heng cry in my life, perhaps, only in the dead of night, he dared to release himself like this."
Although I can't dictate your will, at least until his sleepwalking symptoms become severe, I hope you don't say it to his face, leaving him with dignity and face as a man. ” "Okay, I will."
"Thank you."
After getting Jiang Xiaoye's answer, Zhou Bo went up to the second floor and returned to his room, where she was the only one left in the huge dining room and the puppy who "purred" and licked the bottom of the bowl.
Jiang Xiaoye lowered her head and stroked the scars between her fingers, whenever she was alone, her life was like a silent stage, silently waiting for the noisy moment, because only after Gao Chao before the curtain ended, would she reach an unpredictable ending.
"Steve, go upstairs."
Patting the puppy's head, Jiang Xiaoye got up from the chair, turned off the light, and everything sank into darkness again. gd1806102:
