It was already six in the morning when Tao Qiu returned to the room he shared with Binghu.At this time, Binghu should still be in Yunjian Pavilion.When he was leaving, he told the receptionist of the hotel to tell Gu Yan that he had to go first if he had something to do.

With Gu Yan's current schedule, he probably hasn't realized that he has left.

Although no one was watching him extraneously, he still zipped up his jacket neatly, and covered his head and face with a hood.

He took out the key from his backpack, turned the lock, and opened the door. The room was so quiet that all the muscles in his body relaxed.

Tao Qiu gently knocked on the door, changed his shoes, walked to the sofa, sat down and lay down.That pretty face in the hood is indescribably tired and lethargic.

He closed his eyes quietly, but in the next second, there was a knock on the door in the room, and Binghu came out of the bathroom with messy wet hair, saw Tao Qiu, and his expression froze.

Tao Qiu sat on the sofa, with his arms resting on his legs, his head tied down, looking very tired.

"Why did you come back like this? When you went, a luxury car came to pick you up, and when you came back, why did you come back alone." Binghu looked at Tao Qiu with a mocking look in his eyes.

But Tao Qiu didn't reply him with a single word.

"I was dumped by others. I said that rich people are unreliable, but you didn't believe me. Now I know I regret it."

Binghu still looked unforgiving.

Tao Qiu finally raised his head, but still didn't speak.

Binghu twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's meaningless to say regrets now, just come back, let's get into trouble, gain wisdom, and stay away from that kind of master. You just stay here and have a bite to eat with me. I won't starve you to death."

No matter how sharp the ice tiger's mouth is, it is still very righteous.

"Thank you." Tao Qiu felt warm in his heart.

"Thank you for what. Let me say one more thing. If you want to thank me, what can you thank me for? With your body?" Binghu snorted.

He was telling the truth.

Tao Qiu is poor and poor, so far, not only has he not paid a penny for the rent, but even the daily expenses have not been bothered by Binghu.

"I'll move out in two days," Tao Qiu said.

Binghu's smile froze on his face little by little.

"I'm in a hurry to move before I get paid." Binghu stared at Tao Qiu ponderingly, "If you have something to say, am I in your way?"

"On the other side of the work, you can also speak for me. Just say that I will stop doing it." Tao Qiu said.

"Why?" Binghu stared at him.

"Anyway, tell me," Tao Qiu said.

Binghu was furious, "When no one wants you, I'll fucking take you in. If I have no land to keep, I'll give you half of the house. So many technicians eagerly want to learn from me, but I You have no qualifications and zero experience, and now you are going to resign, and you will quit if you say no, have you asked me for my opinion?"

Empress Tao lowered her eyes and drooped her head, as if her whole body was going to be buried in that hoodie.

Binghu became more and more angry, walked over a few steps, and grabbed him by the skirt: "Where are you going? Do you want to go with the hotel owner?"

Before Binghu finished speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.With a stiff expression on his face, he stared at Tao Qiu for a long time before letting out a breath and asking softly, "What's wrong with you?"

Tao Qiu's hood slid down from his hair and rested limply on his shoulders.

Most of Tao Qiu's jet-black short hair had turned gray and white, matching that still young face, it was indescribably thrilling.

In the small forest in the open-air bathing place, the sound of cicadas that scratched the eardrums all night seemed to suddenly ring in Tao Qiu's ears again.

On the night when he met the water creature for the first time, something hit him, and when he subconsciously grabbed it, a piece of something like ice and snow melted in his palm.

A gust of cold air hit him in an instant, and he realized that the cicadas singing on the tree were something called "crickets".

This kind of thing is in a symbiotic relationship with the water creature.Usually, wherever there are water creatures, there will be crickets.

Tao Qiu blamed himself for being so careless.

Perhaps it is because of the natural sound of cicadas in the old trees beside the hot spring in summer.

The weapon of this beast is its own time. When it hits the target, the opponent's body is synchronized with its life time. The life of a cricket is only one season, and its day is equivalent to several months of human life.

In the battle with the water beast last night, he consumed a lot of blood energy, which made the time in his body pass faster.

But overnight, his hair has turned gray, and it's not hard to imagine his wrinkled and aging face in a week or two.

This is also one of the reasons why he left without saying goodbye to Gu Yan.

He didn't want Gu Yan to see himself like this.

He came back so early, originally he wanted to leave before Binghu came back, but he didn't expect that Binghu came back early today and bumped into himself.

"You have dyed your hair?" Binghu let go of his hand, stared at Tao Qiu, forced a smile, "However, this color is too shabby, it's not suitable for you."

"...I have a strange disease, and I will age quickly in a short period of time, so I can no longer continue to work, nor can I stay here any longer."

Binghu couldn't accept Tao Qiu's setting for a while, and looked at him fixedly before saying: "Premature aging?"

"Almost." Tao Qiu said carelessly.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to the hospital." Binghu took a breath and said softly.

Tao Qiu didn't expect Binghu to have such a reaction, this was all a lie he uttered casually, so that Binghu would not ask the bottom of the abnormality that happened to him, but who knew that Binghu would never give up.

There was a warmth in Tao Qiu's chest.

He lowered his eyes and smiled, "It's useless, it's hereditary in our family. All hospitals, big and small, have run away, and it can't be cured."

"It can't be cured, what do you mean?" Binghu's face turned pale.

What's the meaning?If you get through this summer, you'll probably be fine.

And this summer is only less than a month.

He will race against time with the crickets to see who can last till the end.

He believed that he had the ability to outlive this thing.

"It's not as serious as you think." Tao Qiu said, "It's like a sudden attack. It happened during this period. It will be fine after it passes."

"Get over it? How can it be all right. It's all like this." Binghu looked at his gray and black hair worriedly.

Soft and smooth, just without the sooty shine.

"Just one month." Tao Qiu fully understands that if you tell a lie, you will cover it up with countless lies.

Binghu heaved a sigh of relief and felt that there was nothing to ask, so he could only say, "Now that medical science is so advanced, the key is that you need to know what kind of disease you have. I'll check it online for you these days."

The warmth in Tao Qiu's chest expanded again.

"I don't want to be seen like this, so..."

"So what, you are not allowed to go anywhere, just live here. You only have the two money in your pocket, not even enough for food. Are you going out now to sleep on the street?" Binghu said.

Binghu sat down beside Tao Qiu and looked at Tao Qiu without blinking.

His hair is already half gray, and the color of his cheeks and the elasticity of his muscles have not yet seen obvious changes, which gives him a strange feeling.

"Don't worry, even if you become seventy and eighty, I won't abandon you."

"Yeah." Tao Qiu smiled lightly.I thought to myself, if I really woke up with a dimpled face, I would be frightened, not to mention others.

I don't know how Gu Yan will feel when he sees himself like this.

Tao Qiu was slow and rough, but with the experience of the gap space, he began to notice that Gu Yan was always looking at him from time to time.

Binghu came back at this time, as usual, he had to catch up on sleep before getting up to eat.

Taking advantage of this gap, Tao Qiu went to the bathroom to take a shower.After several days of ambush against the water creature in the hot spring hotel, and the rush back overnight, Tao Qiu felt exhausted, so he filled the bathtub with water, and lay down on his feet.

The water temperature in the bathtub is on the high side, coupled with the heat in the bathroom, it creates a curling effect.

Although there is no medical effect of natural hot springs, it is still enough to relieve fatigue.Tao Qiu rested his head on the edge of the bathtub and closed his eyes.

His whole body was wrapped in water, and the water pressure was gentle, like a huge sponge, sweeping every pore of his body.

Gradually, the water pressure began to increase, as if it was pressing his body.

Tao Qiu stretched out his limbs more relaxedly so that he could receive the water pressure massage more comfortably.

The vat of water suddenly seemed to have life, and had a vague shape. The protruding part was like two shoulder blades, and the concave part was just like the neckline, but the whole body was still chaotic and round.

The light in the bathroom shone on it, reflecting scattered light, like a soft and hard transparent crystal.

These ointment-like crystals fit tightly with Tao Qiu's body, yet they move freely.

Tao Qiu suddenly opened his mouth and gasped.

His body seemed to be invaded by something, and he was a little unclear about the exact location, but it made him a little tingly, and his heart was agitated.

He sat up suddenly from the bathtub, splashing a little bit of water, making a few splashes.

Splashes of water swirled in the bathtub, scattered all at once, fluctuating slightly, making his skin itchy again.

But that lively sense of life is gone.

Tao Qiu's face was a little flushed, and his eyes were full of doubts and lust.

He doesn't care much about these superfluous changes to him in daily life, but the encounter in the crevice space makes his body and mind a little sensitive to it.

He stood up from the bathtub, dried himself, put on a pair of cotton home pants and came out of the bathroom.

Binghu is busy in the kitchen.

"Why didn't you sleep?" Tao Qiuqi asked.

"I can't sleep, so I'll get up and make you something to eat. Eat before going to sleep."

Tao Qiu was moved again.

"Wait." Binghu suddenly leaned over, put his head on his chest, stretched out his index finger, and pointed to a small red spot on his chest, "Why is it so red here? It's rubbed there."

Only then did Tao Qiu see a red mark the size of half a palm on his left chest, but it didn't look like a scratch, but rather a mark from being rubbed.

"Nowhere." Tao Qiu said honestly.

Binghu suddenly leaned his body up, almost stuck to his body, put his mouth close to his ear, and said teasingly: "Honestly, what did you do just now alone."

"What?" Tao Qiu was puzzled for a moment, but he was not an idiot. The next moment, he understood what Binghu said, and grinned, "No."

"No? I don't believe it. Let me see what's going on before I believe it." As he spoke, he made a gesture to pull his pants, when Tao Qiu slapped him on the hand.
