implication

Ning Fei didn't sleep very well, probably because of his posture. Sleeping on his stomach caused fragmentary images to reappear in his mind all night.

"Ahh—" Holding his neck that seemed to be stiff, he straightened up, tilted his neck twice, stretched his muscles, and then opened his eyes. He wanted to make sure that Lin Qiu was still asleep.However, the empty bed in front of him made Ning Fei dilate his pupils in fear, "Lin Qiu!"

No one answered, Ning Fei called Lin Qiu's name and got up.His legs and feet were numb from sitting on his stomach all night, he got up in a hurry, staggered and almost fell down.Fortunately, Ning Fei reacted quickly enough to support his body, but only bumped his knee.

Looking for Lin Chen's more anxious heart, so that he can't care about the pain in his knee, "Lin Chen! Don't scare me!" Ning Fei stood in the middle of the room and shouted, his eyes swept every corner of the room, and confirmed that the lock was closed. He guessed that Lin Chi didn't go out alone.

Where did that person go?

Ning Fei frowned and looked at the toilet door, then limped to the door with a numb leg, "Lin Qiu!"

The moment the door was opened, the water tank was dripping with water in response to Ning Fei's anxious visit to the toilet.Ning Fei glanced at the toilet in disbelief, and confirmed again and again that there was no room for a living person to hide in the narrow toilet, "Lin Chi, where are you?"

Instead of anxiety, a cool emptiness and fear rushed up from the soles of the feet to the heart, and the body couldn't help shivering.It was already May, and the weather had already eased, but Ning Fei felt a chill in his heart when Lin Chi was gone.

"Lin Que, don't scare me." There was a powerless compromise in the voice, Ning Fei was looking forward to Lin Que appearing in front of him by himself, he was worried about Lin Que, more because he couldn't live without Lin Que.

"Crack-"

The ear-piercing sound made Ning Fei, who hadn't slept well, feel waves of neuralgia.The body instinctively responded with rejection, Ning Fei frowned, covered his ears and turned around, only to see Latte scratching the cabinet door with his paws.

Ning Fei put down his hand covering his ears, and looked at the latte that was persistently scratching the cabinet door one after another.Latte turned her head in disgust and "meowed" at Ning Fei, and then Ning Fei rushed to the cabinet, hugged the latte, and wanted to open the cabinet door.

"Forest……"

The cabinet door could not be opened.Ning Fei raised her head in surprise and glanced at the old-fashioned wardrobe in front of her, someone had fastened the door inside.

My heart sank, but I finally knew where Lin Chen was.But how can we let him out?

Ning Fei let go of his hands, and knocked tentatively on the cabinet door, "Lin Chi, are you in there?"

There was a moment of silence in the room, Latte couldn't stand it anymore, and continued to scratch the cabinet.Ning Fei's temples throbbed from the noise from the sharp claws of the latte. He couldn't let Lin Qiu, who was hiding in the cabinet, get a headache from hearing it. He had to drive away the cat, knock on the door by himself, and asked softly, "Lin Qiu, can you just come out?" Just a word, don't worry me. Are you in there?"

"Lin Chi is not here."

Lin Qiu's low and muffled voice came from the cabinet.Ning Fei smiled reassuringly when she heard it, and sat down next to the cabinet with her hands on the ground after laughing, "Is it because you are afraid to hide?"

The people in the closet were quiet again.

Ning Fei lowered his head and sighed, perhaps the question was too straightforward for Lin Chen to answer, "Are you playing hide-and-seek with me?"

"Lin Chi is not here."

"If it's not here, where is it?" Ning Fei glanced at the room, "The place is so big, I've seen the toilet, and there's no way to hide people under the bed. If it's not here, where is it?"

"I'm not here anywhere. I don't want to be anywhere." Lin Chi sat in the cabinet full of sour smell, closed the door tightly, and lowered his head, trying to hide.

He only woke up half an hour earlier than Ning Fei, and escaped from the nightmare in a panic. He opened his eyes and saw Ning Fei lying beside the bed guarding him, feeling relieved and safe.Just when he propped himself up and took Ning Fei's hand away from his chest, Feng Lin's words "If it's Ning Fei, would you like it?" They didn't even dare to look at Ning Fei.

There is also the phrase "200 yuan for a night's sleep", which keeps reminding Lin Chi of what almost happened.

"Don't talk, don't talk!"

Latte, who was lying beside him, got up and looked strangely at Lin Qiao who was holding his head and chattering nervously.Seeing him get up and stand in the middle of the room dazedly, when he turned his head to look at the bed, Latte let out a soft cry, and followed Lin Qiao's gaze to look at Ning Fei who was lying on the edge of the bed.Sleeping Ning Fei frowned.

After seeing this, Lin Quan felt as if he had been pushed by someone, and staggered back, "Stop it, stop it." Still talking to himself, he bumped into the cabinet with a "boom", and Lin Quan was frightened. He shook his body, turned his head and glanced at the old cabinet behind him, then at Ning Fei lying beside the bed, opened the cabinet and hid in.

The cabinet door closed slowly, and Ning Fei's back gradually disappeared from sight, and the questions that kept coming to mind gradually disappeared with the blocking of sight.When the door was about to close at last, Lin Chen paused his hand, and glanced at Ning Fei who was lying on the edge of the bed and fell asleep through the gap, his voice was hoarse and his nasal voice was thick, "I don't know, I don't know, I'm not that casual people."

Ning Fei listened to Lin Qiao in the cabinet saying that he was not there, got up helplessly, clapped his hands and said to the cabinet, "You won."

Lin Chi could hear Ning Fei's footsteps leaving from the cabinet, and wanted to quietly open the cabinet door to reveal a gap to see Ning Fei, but he was afraid that when he saw Ning Fei's face, Feng Lin's question would ring in his ears.

"You won." Ning Fei went back to the cabinet and sat down cross-legged not long after leaving, "You won the hide-and-seek game. I didn't find you. Now you should come out to celebrate your victory and take away your prize."

"Prize?" Lin Chi became curious, "Is it for me?"

"Yeah." Ning Fei with the corners of his lips curled up was rarely patient and gentle, "It's for you, come out and have a look."

Unable to resist curiosity, Lin Chi opened the door a little, and in front of him was the porcelain doll that Ning Fei held in his hand, chubby, grinning, with blue and white moldings on his body, and a red dot in the middle of his forehead.

Lin Chen pouted in disappointment, "What?"

Isn't this the one that Ning Fei gave him when he was a child? Turning his head to look at the old desk in the corner, he guessed that Ning Fei just took it out of the drawer to fool himself.

Seeing him turn his head, Ning Fei stretched out his hand to block his sight, acting anxiously, as if afraid of being caught and stolen, "Come out now, okay?"

Lin Qiao wanted to shrink in again, but Ning Fei grabbed him, and Lin Qiao shook his hand away as if being burned.Ning Fei looked at Lin Qiao who was overreacting, and only thought that he was resisting skin-to-skin contact because of Feng Lin, and still coaxed him, "I have pudding."

The pudding was also bought by nurse Xiaomei last night, so that Lin Ling could eat it when he woke up.

Lin Kai raised his eyelids and glanced at Ning Fei, his fingers circled each other.Seeing his hesitation, Ning Fei smiled and stuffed the porcelain doll into his palm, "Come out and eat. You can eat as much as you want."

Lin Chi sat on the edge of the bed, stretched his legs, put his feet inwards, and stepped on the instep of his left foot with his right foot.Holding the pudding in his hand, he no longer dug it into his mouth with a spoon like before. Even eating the pudding became cautious and restrained, and he spooned it into his mouth shallowly.

Ning Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, not daring to get too close to him, propped her head up and looked at Lin Que who was trembling while eating pudding, feeling indescribable in her heart.

Probably feeling Ning Fei's gaze, Lin Qiu's gaze was at a loss, and his head lowered lower and lower.Seeing him like this, Ning Fei's heart twitched, she consciously withdrew her gaze, and lowered her head first, at least she had to let him feel at ease when eating what she liked.

Ning Fei, who lowered his head, had nowhere to look but Lin Qiu's foot that was firmly on his feet.Although Lin Jianren has lost a lot of weight, his hands and feet are similar to when he was a child, and they are still round and chubby.Ning Fei looked at Lin Chen's chubby feet, smiled reminiscently, and then darkened.Because Lin Chen's toes curled up uncomfortably, he remembered that when Lin Chen was happy, he liked to open his arms, and his toes also opened and twisted, expressing his full inner joy with his whole body.It's not like now, I can't wait to curl up my whole body.

"Ning Fei?"

Lin Qiao was calling him, Ning Fei raised his head, trying his best to make his expression look calm and not reveal any haze related to yesterday, he didn't want Lin Qiao to think of yesterday's events from his expression.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Lin Chen lowered his head, pursed his lips, flipped his hands to show him the hollowed out plastic bowl, "The pudding is gone."

"Oh." Ning Fei hastily rummaged through his body, and found that this was the only pudding.Lin Qiao, who was sitting by the bed, looked at Ning Fei's movements and pouted slightly, "Didn't you say that you can eat as much as you want?"

Damn it!Ning Fei cursed secretly in her heart, she didn't think so much at the time, she just wanted to coax Lin Chi out of the closet, now Ning Fei regretted it, why didn't she know how to ask Xiaomei to buy more?

"You wait here, I'll go to the convenience store and buy all the puddings for you now!" Ning Fei stood up and was about to turn around when Lin Chu grabbed the hem of his clothes.He looked back at Lin Que, who just lowered his head and said nothing.

"I have to buy you pudding. Don't you want to eat it?"

"But……"

But Ning Fei didn't hear what was said later, he just watched Lin Chi let go of his hand.Even if he didn't say anything, Ning Fei could see his uneasiness.

"Isn't there still a latte?" Ning Fei pretended to be brisk, turned around and wanted to catch the cat and put it into Lin Ling's arms, "The latte will be with you."

Latte, who was still considerate last night, is not very cooperative now.Latte was originally at odds with Ning Fei, but now that Ning Fei stretched his arms to surround it, it ran around and hid, "Smelly cat, come here!"

Ning Fei grabbed the back of its neck and picked up the whole latte, and the latte kicked back and forth in the air, not cooperating at all.Ning Fei smiled dryly at Lin Chen, "Haha, latte is embarrassing."

"Latte." Lin Qiao called out to Latte, and Latte broke away from Ning Fei and walked towards Lin Qiao.The first time he couldn't jump directly onto the bed, he simply straightened his upper body and put his paws on Lin Qiu's knees.Lin Chi leaned over and picked up Latte, and ran along Latte's back, regretting, "Why is Latte's leg still not healed?"

Otherwise, Ning Fei wouldn't have caught him in such an inflexible manner, and would have struggled even jumping onto the bed.

Ning Fei looked at the latte lying on Lin Qiao's lap, and at the bandaged wound on Lin Qiao's head, "Why don't we take the latte to the pet hospital?"

Lin Chen's hand stroking the cat froze, and Latte sensed that he raised his head and yelled softly at him, reminding him not to stop.Lin Chi looked at the latte and continued to touch it, "There are many people outside, I'm afraid..."

"I'll buy you pudding on the way back. The latte is still with you."

Lin Chen didn't like to go to the hospital, and Ning Fei was always worried about his head injury, so he used a latte as an excuse to go to the pet hospital. Even if he was a veterinarian, he could be completely relieved only if he told him that Lin Chen's injury was not a problem.

"but I……"

"I'm here too, so you don't have to wait here alone."

Lin Chen hesitated, he really didn't want to stay in the room alone.Ning Fei looked at the gap between his hesitation, walked over and put his arms around his shoulders and led him to get up and go out.Latte legs and feet are not good enough, but his posture changes quickly. He turned around in Lin Que's arms, found a comfortable position and squinted his eyes. In this way, Lin Que couldn't move his hand to shirk away from Ning Fei, and followed Ning Fei half-pushed and half-heartedly. out the door.

"Lin Chi, look how nice the weather is today."

As soon as he came out of the corridor, Ning Fei, who was holding Lin Qu in his arms, hastily pointed to the blue sky to show him. Taking advantage of the fine weather, he wanted to let Lin Qu, who was depressed and unhappy, see the sun, and let the stale clothes he had covered in the cabinet take away. The smell, drying out Lin Chen's gloomy expression.

But Lin Qiu just lowered his head and answered absent-mindedly, "Yeah."

"Lin Qiao..." Ning Fei really didn't know what to do. Originally, Lin Qiao liked to smile, and when he smiled, his big white teeth were innocent and harmless, like a flower that was about to bloom with some morning dew, which made people laugh. Looking at it and feeling better.

But now... he shouldn't be like this.Looking at Lin Qiao like this, Ning Fei's self-blame whipped him hard.

Lin Chi shrank his shoulders, avoiding Ning Fei's hand holding his shoulders, "I'll just go by myself."

"Oh." Ning Fei was a little at a loss, and rubbed his hands on the hem of his trousers twice.He saw Lin Qu keeping his head down and didn't look at him, and thought that Lin Qu was embarrassed because he saw him in a mess yesterday.Ning Fei turned around and planned to walk ahead of Lin Qiu.

Just after taking half a step, the corner of the clothes was pulled again.Ning Fei turned her head to look at Lin Chu behind her. Lin Qiao just lowered his head and pulled him. After a moment of silence, he said intermittently, "Don't...don't go ahead of me...I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up."

"okay."

Ning Fei was afraid that he would irritate Lin Que by talking too much, so he simply responded, seeing Lin Que let go of his hand, he didn't want Lin Que to bow his head like this.The corner of his mouth curled up, but he still felt that it would be more appropriate for Hu to walk behind Lin Qiu.Unexpectedly, just as Ning Fei walked around Lin Qiu and stood behind him, Lin Qiu let out a cry of surprise, threw away the cat in a violent reaction, jumped sideways, squatted on the ground and hugged his head tightly, his mouth still humming. Broken thoughts.

The latte with bad legs and feet was suddenly thrown away, and barely landed on the ground safely, whimpering at Lin Que.Ning Fei came over and picked up the sobbing latte, unzipped the hoodie and stuffed it into her arms.The zipper is only half closed, so that the latte can be exposed, and one arm is placed across his belly, holding the latte nestled in his clothes so that it does not slip out of the clothes.

After setting up the sad latte, Ning Fei walked towards Lin Qiu with small steps.Lin Qu, who was squatting on the ground with his head in his arms, felt the cover of the figure, and shuffled back to hide.Ning Fei heard him say, "Don't come here, don't come here."

Ning Fei's heart was twitched by Lin Chen's words.When he found Lin Qiu, Lin Qiu was tied and lying on the table, and Feng Lin was standing behind him.

Annoyed, Ning Fei knelt down on the bed and kept apologizing to Lin Chen, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I shouldn't have walked behind you without saying a word."

Lin Chen seemed unable to hear Ning Fei's words, but still held his head tightly in a defensive posture.Ning Fei's outstretched hand was hanging in the air at a loss, he didn't dare to touch Lin Qiao.

"Meow~"

It was Latte's soft and coquettish cry that calmed Lin Chen down.Lin Chi looked up and saw the latte stuffed into Ning Fei's sweater with only one head exposed.Latte saw that Lin Chu was looking at him, and pulled out a paw from his clothes with all his strength, and stretched it towards Lin Chu.

Lin Chen took hold of Latte's paw and pinched it, and finally smiled, "I'm sorry Latte, I shouldn't have thrown you away like that just now."

"Meow~" Latte yelled again, as if saying it's okay.

Ning Fei looked down at Lin Qu with a relaxed expression, and retracted her hanging hand.Fortunately and disappointed, thankful that the latte comforted Lin Chi, but frustrated that he could not touch Lin Chi.

"Are you all right?"

Lin Chen lowered his eyes and nodded, still not daring to look at Ning Fei.

"Then let's go." Ning Fei wanted to reach out to support Lin Que again, but Lin Que's movement was faster than him.Ning Fei stretched out half of her hand, turned around and scratched her neck, looked down and saw that Latte was looking up at her, and after scratching her neck, she also wanted to pinch the fleshy ball on the paw of Latte.Latte retracted her paws into her clothes very bluntly.

"It's really stingy. Don't even try to comfort me." Ning Fei muttered and stood up on his knees, standing beside Lin Qu with a distance of half a meter, patted the restless cat in his arms, and turned to face the dull cat. The silent Lin Qiu said, "Let's go."
