summer monsoon

Chapter 18 Midnight

Ji Xing woke up and there was no one around him.He stretched out his hand to touch it, and the residual heat in the other quilt was almost gone.The aggrieved face from last night suddenly appeared in his mind, and he subconsciously called his name in a low voice: "Lin Fengliang?" Then he woke up.

Lin Fengliang's biological clock is 6:40 in the morning.No matter how late he slept the previous day, he would wake up at this time every day.

I thought I would be dizzy and dizzy when I woke up from sleeping too late, but I didn't.Accompanied by the familiar fruity aroma, he opened his eyes and saw another sleeping face, the eyelids were relaxed and there was a gap that was not closed tightly, the eyelashes seemed to be slightly trembling, and the eyeballs were also turning vaguely. Slight shortness of breath.Lin Fengliang remembers that REM is usually associated with dreaming.This person's head is full of beautiful times that he has never experienced, and he does not know how to weave mysterious dreams that cannot be imagined.He stared at the center of his eyebrows, as if he could see the content of the dream if he kept looking at it like this, he was reluctant to move his eyes away, wrapped in a huge sense of satisfaction, Lin Fengliang remained motionless, not wanting to spoil this moment.Until the hunger pangs hit him and he was forced to get up.

After quietly washing up, he closed the bedroom door and walked to the living room.

No matter how you look at it, the island-style open kitchen does not match this small apartment. In front of the counter is a small long dining table and two high stools.Except for the kitchen, there is only a wooden lattice locker from the top to the ceiling in the living room, which occupies the entire wall, and the door is also log-colored. I don’t know what is inside.

He opened the refrigerator, and it was completely different from his own. There were fresh fruits and vegetables, egg and milk products, and an assortment of condiments and sauces. The bottles were labeled in different languages, and the seafood and meat in the frozen area were neatly sorted and placed in transparent airtight boxes.There was an unfinished bag of thick-cut toast on the counter, and he took out a bag of vacuum-packed bacon and two eggs from the refrigerator.

I looked at the time, it was just 7 o'clock.He randomly stuffed a piece of bread, not daring to touch the pot and bowl for fear of disturbing the dream of the person in the bedroom.Gently opened the curtains of the living room, the sky and the earth were completely white, snow flakes big enough to see the shape were falling one after another, and when the wind blew, a large piece of it stuck to the glass.In such a quiet morning, the snow melting vehicle finished its work and the road surface was cleaned to prevent slipping and traffic accidents.On the first day of the new year, everyone is still asleep.

Lin Fengliang put it on the socket by the window, and a power cord went through the small round hole on the wall of the cabinet and connected it into the cabinet.After hesitating for a long time, I always felt that the owner's consent must be obtained to open the cupboard door.

The phone vibrated at 8 o'clock sharp, and the bank prompted to transfer the money.On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it has been a tradition over the years for the club owner to give a lucky red envelope of 88888.

All kinds of life noises outside the window began to come in, Ji Xinghui pushed open the bedroom door after washing, Lin Fengliang stood by the sink to wash his hands.There are two white plates on the small dining table, containing two identical open-faced sandwiches. On the top layer is a perfect half-cooked fried egg, the yolk is shining with a clear reflection, and it is sprinkled with black pepper powder here and there.

Lin Fengliang made breakfast for him.

This fact was too shocking, Ji Xing pinched himself back to regain his sense of reality.

"You, you know how to cook. I thought you couldn't go into the kitchen." Ji Xing went back and looked at the neat kitchen counter, and then at the trash can. There was no failed waste in it. It looks like it can really do it.

"Actually, I'm not very good at it. I usually go to the coffee shop in the training ground to eat." Lin Fengliang handed the phone screen to his eyes: "There are teachings here, there are pictures and text, it's very simple."

"So it's your first time making breakfast?" Ji Xinghui was a little shocked.

"Yes. I usually use the heating function of the oven at most." Lin Fengliang felt a little guilty.He has lived for so long and has never officially been in the kitchen. Not only the kitchen, he has not done a lot of things. Ji Xinghui is willing to treat him tenderly for such a useless person like him.

"But I can learn. Xiao Ci said that I learn things very quickly. I will learn many things in the future."

Ji Xing didn't answer. He sat down at the table and cut the egg yolk with a fork. The golden viscous liquid slowly flowed and covered the bacon evenly. The crispy edges of the bacon blocked the flowing egg yolk.No matter how you look at it, it is an extremely perfect fire.To be able to do so well the first time, he must be a smart and decisive person, but such a person is afraid of being rejected by him.He has such a thin sense of inner security, but he never takes the initiative to ask for it.

Ji Xing took a big bite of the sandwich,

"Well, it's delicious. It's the first time I've made it like this. You can change careers. Don't be an athlete. It's hard work and stress. Come and be my cook. Just be responsible for cooking for me every day. I'll take care of your food and lodging." .” Ji Xing teased him back.

"...it's ok...however, figure skating is not hard, it's just that it's a bit tiring occasionally." Lin Fengliang said seriously.

"I'm joking. I don't really want to keep you." Ji Xinghui scolded himself for being cheap: "You belong to the ice rink, and you're a different person when you wear ice skates."

"A lot of people say that, probably because they're used to it." After all, it's much easier to face Bing than to face the complexity of people's hearts and human nature.

After breakfast, Ji Xing returned to stand by the sink washing the dishes, and found that Lin Fengliang's eyes were always aiming at the cabinet next to the bed.

"Curious? Go open it and have a look." Ji Xing asked him back: "Be prepared not to be scared, those two grids are connected together."

Scared?Lin Fengliang walked to the cabinet door, feeling uneasy and unable to suppress the anticipation in his heart, as if he wanted to know the ulterior secret of Ji Xing's return, he put his hands on the cabinet door and pressed it hard, and the two cabinet doors popped open left and right, Inside is a landscaping tank that takes up all the space. The ground is covered with fine sand and stones. Except for the glass sliding door, the other three sides are shaped rock walls. Some rocks protrude and form shadows below.In the center of the sandy ground is a dry tree root with a strange shape, and there is actually a miniature dinosaur skull decoration next to it.

"Desert landscape? Why don't you put it outside, but you can't see it inside?" Lin Fengliang remembered the 4K documentary Earth Pulse that he had watched a few times before.

Ji Xing wiped his hands, took out a fresh-keeping box from the refrigerator, took another metal tweezers, and walked in front of Lin Fengliang.

"Open this." He grinned.

Lin Fengliang opened the lid of the box suspiciously, his face turned pale, and he almost threw the box away.The dense brown-yellow worms in the box are piled up and wriggling, with a length of more than 1 cm. There are at least a few hundred in this box.He looked up at Ji Xinghui in horror.Sure enough, the man laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up.

"Hahahahahahaha I told you to prepare yourself mentally, are you afraid!" Ji Xinghui stood up and took the box. "Did you see the one hiding in the tank? It's the one that looks like a small house with a door."

Lin Fengliang took a big step back at some point, one meter away from him, his face full of defense.

"Okay, I won't scare you anymore. It's just mealworms. Come here." Ji Xing opened the glass door, picked up a few worms with tweezers and put them not far from the door of shelter, and then put some in the food bowl , Then he closed the box and said to him: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, just stand here and watch." After finishing speaking, he put the box back into the refrigerator.

Lin Fengliang relaxed and stared at the dark door.

After some time, a small black head stuck out and stared at the mealworms wriggling on the sand for a long time before slowly crawling closer, opened its big mouth to bite 3 or 4 of them, chewed them randomly and swallowed them.As if hungrier after the appetizer, it crawled to the food bowl instead, where there was a small bowl full of fresh mealworms.

Lin Fengliang saw its whole appearance clearly through the light. It was black all over and had a velvety matte texture to the naked eye. Only the middle part of the fat tail had a thin bright silver ring pattern.It looks like a miniature dinosaur, handsome and mysterious.

Ji Xinghui found that he was staring at Ziye intently, even ignoring the feeling of being disgusted by the mealworm just now, his eyes were shining.

"Are you handsome?" He asked Lin Fengliang in a low voice.

"What is it? It's so beautiful." Lin Fengliang's tone was full of surprise.

"The leopard-print gecko is the gecko. I learned in elementary school textbooks that it will break its tail when it encounters danger." Ji Xinghui explained.

"Like a dragon, a dragon that knows magic in European and American movies. Could it be raised..." Lin Fengliang sighed.

Ji Xinghui helped him move a high stool over, and he just stared at Ziye until he finished eating and then returned to the shelter and could not come out.

"They are nocturnal. You want to see him waiting at night and sleeping during the day."

Ji Xinghui changed his clothes, chose a pure black mask to wear, and was about to go to the supermarket to buy something, Lin Fengliang grabbed him, and quickly changed his clothes to go together.

"The supermarket is very close, I'll be back soon. It's freezing outside, so it's hard to walk." Ji Xinghui was a little hesitant. There must be a lot of people in the supermarket, and he was afraid that Lin Fengliang would not get used to it.

"Huh? Do you want to think of a reason again?" Lin Fengliang felt a little funny.

"...I'm sorry I said it casually... let's go, together." People walked more stably on ice than on land.What the hell are you talking about.

"Well, together." Lin Fengliang pointed to the black mask on his face and said, "I want it too."

"All right, all right. Just wait." Ji Xing opened the bedroom drawer, took out another gray mask, with a capital letter A embroidered in the corner, turned around and handed it to him, but he didn't take it.

"I want black." Lin Fengliang said.

"The black one is the one on my face."

Lin Fengliang quickly reached out to take off the black mask on his face and put it on his own face, and then helped him put on the gray one: "Black is more handsome." He glanced at Ziye's direction and said.

Fortunately, there are masks.Ji Xinghui felt that his face was about to burn.

Lin Fengliang frowned, signaling him to go.His face is very small, and most of it is covered by the mask, only revealing a pair of slightly raised Ruifeng eyes. When he is not smiling, he is slightly sharp, but when he smiles, he has a sense of charm.

Terrible.

This man is a killer.

The person appointed by Ji Xing took him out to the supermarket.

The supermarket was crowded with crowds. Seeing Lin Fengliang's eyebrows tightened, he quickly grabbed him and squeezed his way to the condiment section to grab two packs of bone broth base, and he squeezed as fast as he could to the quick-frozen section to grab two packs. Dumplings.

Lin Fengliang was a little panicked at first. He always felt that the density of the crowd could no longer be described as too many, as if a stampede might happen at any time.The uncles and aunts next to them had joyful faces, and they naturally shuttled through it like a fish in water.But he slowly relaxed as he joined the crowd. Ji Xinghui's left hand tightly clutched his right wrist. Although it hurt a little, that hand cast some kind of magic, which made the surrounding noise subside and the crowd blurred, as if Only the two of them were walking forward in the space.
