Be gentle

The water in the bathtub was almost overflowing.As soon as Bai Shu finished speaking, he sank into the water, and the hot water immediately overflowed the edge of the bathtub, making a splashing sound.

Huaran looked at her and sighed in satisfaction, and moved down a bit in a similar manner.The moment the hot water soaked my shoulders, the feeling of heat and swelling filled my atrium.If taking a bath is to clean the body, then taking a bath is definitely a kind of enjoyment.

This position made the two of them put their legs against each other, and Bai Shuyi rubbed against her knee unconsciously, chattering a lot.The hot air made Huaran drowsy, and vaguely heard Bai Shuyi's soft voice.

"Sister Ran, you seem to be a sister I knew before... I wish I could have a sister to play with me, eat the food I like, and dress up beautifully..."

Ah, so it is.

"You can chat when you sleep at night, you can comfort each other when you are sad, and you can share with each other when you are happy..."

Huaran's head was dull, trying to understand the intermittent words in her ear.

"I started sleeping alone when I was very young... Mom was afraid of waking me up..."

It turned out that Xiaobai was also a lonely child.

"Sister Ran... Sister Ran?"

It is precisely because Xiaobai is also a lonely child that she can better understand the suffering of others, and therefore cannot sit idly by and ignore the suffering of others.

Huaran thought drowsily, if there is anything to be gained from living a cursed and difficult life for so many years, it must be meeting this tenderness.

"... Sister Ran? Are you awake? Great, almost scared me to death!"

Huaran slowly opened her eyes, and found herself sitting in the dressing room outside the bathroom without knowing when.With a bath towel wrapped around her body, Bai Shuyi was looking at her anxiously.

"noob?"

When Bai Shu saw Huaran's inexplicable look, he breathed a sigh of relief, handed her a glass of warm water, and asked, "Sister Ran, don't you feel uncomfortable?"

Huaran shook her head subconsciously, and after taking several sips of warm water, she realized that her head was a little dizzy.

"What is wrong with me?"

"You fainted for a while, maybe you soaked for too long. I didn't expect you to be so bad at taking baths, sister Ran. We'd better soak for a while less in the future."

Huaran finally reacted, and the first thing that came to her mind was how she was taken out of the bathroom.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Xiaobai, to trouble you..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's my fault, I didn't notice your condition, and I dragged you to talk a lot. Are you better now? Put on your pajamas and go to bed to rest."

Although Bai Shuyi was wearing pajamas, he looked very disheveled, as if he was in a hurry.Only then did Huaran realize that she was naked, and pulled the towel nervously.

Taking advantage of the situation, Bai Shu put the pajamas beside her, and said with a smile, "I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I roughly wiped it for you. There are underwear and pajamas, but the underwear has to be washed and dried at night, and you can wear them tomorrow."

She touched her short hair that was still wet, and said a little embarrassedly: "I thought you were shorter than me and you should be able to wear the new underwear I bought... I didn't expect..."

The girl's clear and straightforward eyes swept towards her chest without the slightest hint of obscenity, with a bit of admiration and envy.

"I didn't expect the gap to be so big."

Sometimes children are so straightforward that people don't know how to answer them.

"Well... then, then I'll wash it off myself later..."

"Okay, I'll go out first, you change slowly, I'll wait for you on the bed." Bai Shuyi probably got used to Hua Ranai's shy character, and thoughtfully left her a separate space.

Huaran put on her pajamas, washed and hung the clothes to dry, and it was already half an hour later when she came out again.Bai Shu snuggled up under the covers like a baby. Although the TV was still playing the content of the Spring Festival Gala, she was obviously not watching it.

"noob?"

"Sister Ran?" Bai Shu rubbed his eyes, seemed to be extremely sleepy, squirmed his body and leaned to the side, and said inarticulately, "Are you alright?"

"Well, are you sleepy?" Hua Ran got into the quilt carefully, and helped her tuck the corners of the quilt, "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."

Bai Shu leaned over naturally without opening his eyes, and asked vaguely, "What time is it?"

"11:30."

"I'm going to wait until twelve o'clock, sister Ran, let's talk."

Huaran has been in a state of short sleep for a long time, and her body has also developed a habit, so she is not very sleepy at this time.Seeing Bai Shuyi's apparently exhausted but struggling appearance, she was a little puzzled.

"Sleep if you want to sleep, don't hold back."

"But... I want to say Happy New Year to you... Let's spend the New Year together... Countdown..." Bai Shuyi said while slipping into Huaran's arms, muttering, "I have never...never...with anyone else... …Together……"

Faced with such intimacy, Huaran didn't show much resistance, and took advantage of the situation to embrace her body and said gently: "It's okay, we will be together even if we are asleep, and we can celebrate New Year together in our dreams."

The 16-year-old girl is in the most delicate stage between a child and an adult. For Hana Ran, who has to mature prematurely, Bai Shu, who has been reluctant to grow up, is as incredible and full of surprises as Peter Pan on Neverland.

In the process of getting along with her, Huaran gradually adapts to her position, and gradually regains some innocence.She unconsciously said such words that would be considered very shameful in normal times, but she didn't feel much discomfort.Instead, there was a warm current from the inside out, and a numbness that almost submerged his chest.

"Hmm... in the dream... um... let's go together..."

As if he had received a response, Bai Shu finally fell asleep contentedly, with satisfaction on his comfortable face.

Huaran turned off the TV, turned off the lights, and fell asleep peacefully with Bai Shu in her arms.

Are dreams black and white?Or in color?

Huaran had heard of such a problem somewhere.

Black and white, because she never dreamed of color.

Her dream is full of thorns and swamps, every step forward will be covered with cuts and bruises.But if she doesn't move forward, what awaits her is an endless abyss and fall.

To move forward is to keep moving forward.Even if you understand that no one is waiting for you in the road ahead, even if you understand that no matter how you go on, you will only be alone, even if you understand that even if you are dreaming, there is no one you can dream of.

He was put in chains, put on iron boots, and chained to a boulder.

She fell and got up again, only to see the devastation and her empty heart.

Because of numbness, I no longer feel pain, and because of numbness, I don’t even know when I lost my heart.

She has had this dream many times, and every time she has it, she understands a truth better: it turns out that people can survive without a heart.

But why dreamed of this scene again?Obviously this dream has stopped disturbing her recently.

Huaran was a little scared.

The body that had been soaked in warmth was once again exposed to such cold, which made her feel frightened and her feet went limp.

Is it because of what?

She looked up at the unchanging dark sky, and the dark clouds still tightly covered the sun.

because of what...

Suddenly, there was a loud sound in her ears, and a brilliant light like fireworks exploded in the sky in front of her eyes.The voices came one after another, as if they came from far away, and seemed to be right next to her ears.

Fireworks followed these sounds all over the sky, rendering her black and white dreams into colorful appearances.

Warm tears slid down from the corners of the eyes, but there was a sweet taste in the mouth.

It must be too bright, right?

But she didn't want to look away at all.

As if responding to her expectations, the biggest firework in the sky did not dissipate, but gradually gathered, turning into a fairy with transparent wings.The leprechaun, dressed in a white fairy costume and a lovely wreath, flew towards her with a ruby-like apple in his hands.

"Happy New Year, Sister Ran."

Huaran saw Bai Shuyi's face, saw her childish and bright smile, and finally saw the sun behind the dark clouds.

The apples seem to grow from the fire, with a searing temperature and a violent pulse, and a sweet aroma.

She stared blankly at Bai Shuyi gently putting the apple into her chest, and the feeling of emptiness was instantly replaced by stuffy heat, pain and sour throbbing.That feeling is a bit uncomfortable and a bit comfortable, like soaking your body in hot water.

"noob……"

While kissing her chest, the elf said softly as if reciting a spell: "It won't hurt anymore, it won't hurt anymore."

Huaran didn't know if her heart would still hurt in the future, and it didn't matter if it hurt, she only knew that her New Year had come.

"Happy New Year."

Lazy sleep on the first day of the new year is definitely not so good to sleep. The moment the firecrackers sounded, the two people in the bed moved tacitly.

Winter is a holiday again, and no one wants to leave the warm bed.Bai Shu rubbed the soft pillow next to his face, and buried his ears completely in it.

She had a dream, a sad but happy dream.She dreamed that she was flying in the sky, that she had become a firework, that she had become an elf, and that she also dreamed of Ran's sister and mother.They sang together, danced together, and went to see the mountains and the sea together.

With such a good first dream, she still wants to continue.

But her pillow didn't seem to be very obedient, it was a little too undulating.

Is it because the pillow has also become a pixie?

"...Bai, Xiaobai?"

Huaran looked at Bai Shuyi who was lying on her chest, unwilling to open her eyes no matter what, and finally found the reason why her heart was hot and stuffy.

The author has something to say: Is the manuscript stored in black and white or in color?Sometimes it's in color, sometimes it's black and white.
