come on, fight

Zhou Yejin picked up the post-it note stuck on the desktop and looked at it seriously.

The post-it note reads: I am too busy with work recently, we and your aunt's family are going to go to relax for a while, and we will be back soon.

The post-it note on Zhan Xunche's side was basically the same as this one. After reading it, he threw it into the trash can, and sat on a chair to eat quietly by himself.

At this time, twilight has already painted a thin layer on the sky, the whole city is brightly lit, and even the stars in the sky are dimmed.

The lamp above Zhan Xunche's head was covered with dust, and the scattered light was slightly dim.

He was wearing a dim light, holding a bowl in one hand, and delivered the food to his mouth slowly.His shadow was left behind by the light, dragging long, changing shape with the movement of eating.

Zhou Yejin saw that no one was looking after her, immediately threw the post-it note away, and unsteadily brought dinner to her bedroom.

Before Zhan Xunche came over, he wanted to use this time to play games.

Because she still had to worry about eating, Zhou Yejin just took the character to the leveling area to fight monsters, and lost a skill after eating a bite of food. By the end of the dinner, Zhou Yejin had just been promoted to a level.

Zhan Xunche finished his meal slowly, piled up the bowls and chopsticks he had eaten, and moved them to the sink in the kitchen.

He stood in front of the sink, pinched his chin and thought for a moment, rolled up his sleeves and started washing the dishes.

Now that the weather has not turned cold, a trickle of water flows through his fingers, falls to the bottom of the pool, and flows into the sewer pipe, making a rumbling sound.

Zhou Yejin nestled in front of the computer, looking at the time in the lower right corner with fear, playing every second as if it were the last, for fear that Zhan Xunche would jump out and snatch the computer from him in the next second.

After being promoted to another level, Zhou Yejin pricked up his ears to pay attention to the movement outside the house, and it was quiet.

At this moment, all the lights in the house went out, the computer screen flickered and then quickly went black, and the exhaust fan that had been ringing also stopped working.

Zhou Yejin blinked, and slowly groped towards the living room in the dark, and found a candle in the drawer under the coffee table.

Remembering that Zhan Xunche was also at home alone, Zhou Yejin lit the candle and went across to find Zhan Xunche with the candle.

Zhan Xunche looked at the darkness around him helplessly, and when he heard the doorbell ring, his heart skipped a beat.

"Who?" Zhan Xunche swallowed unconsciously.

"Me." Zhou Yejin stood outside the door, carefully protecting the dancing flame on the candle.

Recognizing his voice, Zhan Xunche wiped off the foam on his hands, went to the door and opened it.

The entire corridor was dark, only a candle in Zhou Yejin's hand gave off a faint light.

"Too bad, there is a power outage today, so you can't play computer games." Zhou Yejin's voice was full of regret, but judging by the expression on his face, it was not the case at all.

Zhan Xunche moved closer to the calm Zhou Yejin, "I don't mind continuing tomorrow."

Zhou Yejin sensed his approach and did not run away, "Can I say I mind?"

"You already said it," Zhan Xunche stood next to him, "but it's useless."

Zhou Yejin stopped talking. After walking around the room with the candle in his hand, he placed the candle on the dining table.

Zhou Yejin and Zhan Xunche followed the light source and sat on both sides of the table, looking like they were having a candlelight dinner, if there was food on the table.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zhou Yejin casually found a topic.

Zhan Xunche didn't speak, his eyes fell on Zhou Yejin's face through the dancing flames.

Zhou Yejin's face was brought closer to the candle flame, as if it had automatically added a layer of soft light. The dancing candle light reflected in his dark pupils, like the stars dotted on the night.

Thinking of this, Zhan Xunche looked up at the night sky, without the lights of the city, the stars appeared brighter than before.

Zhan Xunche turned his head and turned his gaze back to Zhou Yejin. For the first time, he felt that Zhou Yejin was really handsome.

Zhou Yejin felt that Zhan Xunche's behavior was weird. He stared at him for a while, looked up at the sky for a while, and now stared at himself again.

"What are you looking at?" Zhou Yejin touched her face.

"Look at the stars." Zhan Xunche replied seriously.

"Huh?" Zhou Yejin pointed at the night sky in bewilderment, "The stars are over there."

Zhan Xunche smiled softly, "Is it over there? I see stars in your eyes."

"..." Zhou Yejin froze on the spot as if struck by a bolt of lightning.

Zhan Xunche also realized what he said, he smiled awkwardly, and then changed the subject, "Didn't you want safflower oil?"

As soon as he said that, Zhou Yejin immediately felt a dull pain in his shoulder.

"Then help me find it." Zhou Yejin moved her hands to her shoulders and kneaded them one by one.

Zhan Xunche left the dining table, and before taking two steps, he stopped, staring at the dark place where the candles could not shine, and did not speak.

Zhou Yejin was immersed in the pain in his shoulder just now, but seeing Zhan Xunche not moving at this moment, he walked up to Zhan Xunche holding a candle, "I'll accompany you."

Zhan Xunche glanced at him, and silently led Zhou Yejin to the room where the safflower oil was kept.

Zhan Xunche opened the drawer in the room, and the safflower oil was placed on the outermost side.

He held the safflower oil in front of Zhou Yejin, "Apply it yourself or should I help you?"

"Apply it yourself." Zhou Yejin took the safflower oil on his own initiative.

"Is there a mirror?" Zhou Yejin glanced at the injury on his shoulder, because the angle was not real.

"Over there." Zhan Xunche raised his chin towards the bathroom.

"I want the one that I can pick up." Zhou Yejin said.

"No." Zhan Xunche shook his head.

"Then hold the candle for me." Zhou Yejin handed him the candle.

Zhan Xunche took the candle, and under the light of the candle, he didn't stop, and went straight into the bathroom.

Zhou Yejin followed and ran over.

Standing in front of the mirror, Zhou Yejin didn't immediately apply the medicine, but stroked her hair in front of the mirror.

"Stop looking at it, the mirror is cracked by you," Zhan Xunche put the candle in front of Zhou Yejin's face, "Apply medicine."

Zhou Yejin lowered his eyes and looked at the candle that was about to burn to his face, unscrewed the cover without saying a word, pulled one side of his collar to his shoulder, and dipped some potion on it.

"That kid is really ruthless." Zhou Yejin said looking at the bruise on her shoulder.

Zhan Xunche stared at his bruise for a while, then suddenly snatched the safflower oil from his hand.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Yejin turned to look at him.

Zhan Xunche didn't speak, poured a little safflower oil into his palm, and wiped it on Zhou Yejin's shoulder.

"Hiss—light, light." Zhou Yejin ducked to the side.

"Don't move." Zhan Xunche reached out to hold him down, slowed down his movements, and rubbed his shoulders one after another.

Sensing that his movements were becoming softer, Zhou Yejin didn't say anything more, and looked up at Zhan Xunche in the mirror.

Zhan Xunche's expression was very focused at this time, as if he was doing something sacred.

"Okay." After rubbing for a while, Zhan Xunche felt that it was almost done, so he let go of Zhou Yejin's shoulder.

Zhou Yejin snorted, and pulled the collar back to its original position, "Are there any playing cards?"

Zhan Xunche nodded, turned around and left immediately.

He even took the candle away, leaving only darkness for Zhou Yejin.

Zhou Yejin turned his head to glance at the dark figure in the mirror, and couldn't help shivering.

"I'll go too." Zhou Yejin shouted and hurriedly followed.

Zhan Xunche took out a stack of poker from under the TV cabinet, turned his head and asked Zhou Yejin, "What are you playing?"

"Pull the camel." Zhou Yejin touched her chin and said.

Zhan Xunche hummed, and handed the playing cards to Zhou Yejin.

Zhou Yejin took the playing cards, got rid of the big king and the little king, and divided the playing cards into two piles, he and Zhan Xunche each piled up.

The two began to pull the camel in silence without any communication.

After nearly an hour of pulling, the camel has not been pulled away by either of the two.

Zhan Xunche yawned, his eyelids drooped, he wanted to sleep very much, and he kept playing cards in his hand.

"What time is it?" Zhan Xunche felt that he could hardly hold on any longer.

"I don't know, it's so dark that I can't even read the watch clearly." Zhou Yejin took out a card and found that there was a card with the same number in front of him, so he took those two cards, together with the card in the middle.

Zhan Xunche yawned again, "Can you stop playing?"

"Okay," Zhou Yejin agreed, "but you have to lose."

Zhan Xunche waved his hand indifferently, if he loses, he loses, and it doesn't hurt.

"I'm going to have to make a fool of myself." Zhou Yejin continued.

"Play it, play it." After going to bed, it's not a big deal if you just lose your mind.

Seeing that he agreed so quickly, Zhou Yejin laughed twice.

"Speed." Zhan Xunche urged him.

Smiling, Zhou Yejin squeezed her middle finger and thumb together, brought her to her mouth and let out a breath, and flicked it hard on Zhan Xunche's forehead.

Zhan Xunche sobered up a lot in an instant. He covered his forehead and stared at Zhou Yejin.

"I got your consent." Zhou Yejin looked innocent.

Zhan Xunche snorted coldly, picked up the candle stump and left without looking back.

Zhou Yejin sat alone in the dark, his heart was a little hairy, he rubbed the goose bumps on his arms, and shouted at Zhan Xunche, "You want to sleep alone?"

Zhan Xunche paused.

"Are you a little scared?" Zhou Yejin asked him with a smile.

"Hehe, aren't you afraid too?" Zhan Xunche turned his face to look at him.

"At a time like this, everyone shouldn't hurt each other," Zhou Yejin got up from the ground and walked to Zhan Xunche's side, "Let's sleep together."

Zhan Xunche glanced at him noncommittally, and quickly walked into his room.

Zhou Yejin followed in and closed the door gently.
