fool around

After the loud bang, it fell into dead silence again.

It wasn't long before Si Yu turned off the lights, and finally fell asleep. Being so frightened, he sat beside the bed in shock, his heart beating fast.

In the middle of the night, suddenly there was such a loud noise in the next room, Si Yu remembered that there were often reports in the social news that there was often a noise in a certain room in the community in the middle of the night, most likely due to domestic violence.

Although Qi Lu looked cold, he really didn't look like someone who would beat children.After thinking about it, Si Yu was still uneasy, turned over and got out of bed, put on cotton slippers, jumped out of the window softly, and walked around to the bedroom window of Room 43.

Si Yu found a stone to step on, and held the window frame with both hands, but the curtains in Qi Lu's bedroom were drawn tightly so that nothing could be seen inside.Si Yu pricked up his ears and listened quietly for a few seconds, the room was very quiet.

A gust of wind blew by, and Si Yu shivered from the cold. He suddenly felt that his behavior was like a pervert, so he quickly jumped off the rock and shouted twice to the window: "Mr. Qi?"

There was still no movement in the room, Si Yu guessed that his nerves were too sensitive, maybe it was just that Qi Lu accidentally knocked over something, and he didn't hear Xiaofu's cry, so there was no need to make a fuss.

He turned around and was about to leave when he stretched out a hand from behind the curtain, with slender and white fingers, and opened a gap in the heavy curtain. Qi Lu appeared from the gap, and immediately pulled the curtain tight with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing a black nightgown and had a slender figure. The moonlight hit his extremely pale face, and then cast a light shadow on the well-defined collarbone.

Qi Lu slowly folded his arms around his chest, staring at Si Yu under the window sill, raised his eyebrows with a bit of teasing in his tone, and asked, "Teacher Si still has a hobby of listening to corners late at night?"

Si Yu choked for a moment. This situation was really embarrassing. He scratched his neck and explained, "I heard movement in your room just now, so I came here to take a look."

"Accidentally knocked over the water glass." Qi Lu said.

Si Yu curled his lips, thinking that he was lying to ghosts. With such a loud voice, I would believe that the door was demolished!

Qi Lu said again: "Since Mr. Si 'come and have a look', why don't you go through the main entrance?"

Si Yu's eyes wandered, thinking that I can't say that I suspect you beat the child, that's why I didn't dare to go through the front door.

He touched the tip of his nose, made up a random reason, and said, "Actually, I can't sleep, so I took a shortcut and came to talk to you."

Qi Lu supported the window frame with one hand, jumped out of the room easily, stood in front of Si Yu, clapped his hands lightly, and looked at him with a half-smile.

Si Yu: "...Is there something wrong?"

Qi Lu smiled slightly: "Didn't Teacher Si want to chat with me?"

Si Yu wanted to slap himself twice, this time it was really hard to get off.His fingers were red from the cold, and he said bravely, "It's too cold outside, why don't you go to my room and talk about it."

Qi Lu nodded.

Si Yu walked to his window and was about to climb in when he realized that Qi Lu was following him, so he withdrew his foot and said with a sneer, "Go through the gate."

The two circled around, from the back window to the front door. Si Yu touched his body and found that he was wearing pajamas with no pockets at all.

He turned around and smiled dryly at Qi Lu. Qi Lu was only wearing a silk nightgown, but he was not afraid of the cold at all. He raised his hand towards Si Yu and made a "please" gesture.

Si Yu spread his hands, smiled wryly and said, "Let's go through the window, I didn't bring the key."

Qi Lu: "..."

The two returned to the back window the same way, and entered Si Yu's room through the window.

The room was very messy, and the sundries were piled up in a mess. Qi Lu was tall and had long legs. Once he came in, the room seemed a lot cramped.

Si Yu was thinking that it was a good thing to stuff the dirty socks and clothes under the bed in the afternoon, otherwise he would be ashamed, and took Qi Lu to sit on the sofa in the living room.

He remembered that Lin Mubai had said that Qi Lu didn't like light, so he turned off the headlights, leaving only a small yellow nightlight on the wall.

"Mr. Qi, sit down for a while, I'll get a glass of water."

Si Yu went into the kitchen to boil a pot of water, and found a bag of skimmed milk powder from the cupboard—he had soaked this milk for the black cat, but the black cat refused to drink it; later, he also soaked it for Xiaomao, but he didn't expect this picky little Mao to drink it. I don't like drinking either.

This thing is disgusting to cats and dogs, and it's a waste to throw it away, so why not make it for Qi Lu to drink.

He made a glass of milk and served it to Qi Lu, and sat down on the other side of the sofa.

"Mr. Qi didn't sleep well?" Si Yu saw the blue shadows under his eyes, and said with a smile, "Have a glass of milk, hot milk can help you sleep."

Qi Lu picked up the mug and shook it lightly. The pure white milk gave off a rich and mellow aroma. He had never drunk this kind of thing before, so it didn't smell too bad.

Qi Lu is a person who can feel like drinking red wine with a glass of milk. His lips are close to the brim of the glass, and he sips lightly, drinking in a refined and elegant manner.The milk foam stuck a circle of milk beard on his upper lip, Qi Lu stuck out his tongue, and the bright red tip of his tongue rolled the white liquid on his lips.

Si Yu's ears felt hot, and his eyelids twitched violently. He looked away uncomfortably, and said, "How old is Mr. Qi?"

Qi Lu put down the cup, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and said, "22."

Si Yu nodded, and asked again: "Have you been in the village since you were born?"

Qi Lu took out a black handkerchief from the pocket of his nightgown, wiped the corners of his mouth slowly, and folded the handkerchief twice unhurriedly after wiping, and put it back into his pocket.

"Yes, I never left."

Si Yu felt surprised in his heart, and his face remained calm.

He always felt that Qi Lu had a strong sense of disobedience, no matter in terms of speech or demeanor, Qi Lu did not look like a young man in his early twenties, let alone a young man born and raised in a barren village.

There is a natural indifference and conceit in him, if you want to describe him, he is like a perfect heir cultivated by the nobles of the family.He is a sculpture, he looks so handsome from a distance, but when he gets closer, he realizes that this sculpture is not only cold, but also extremely sharp.

Qi Lu picked up the mug again and sipped the milk in the mug.Si Yu didn't know why he was embarrassed to look at him, but he couldn't help looking at him, his eyes uncontrollably turned to his mouth, and then turned back in a little panic, and turned back and forth more than ten times until He saw a drop of liquid hit Qi Lu's delicate collarbone along the wall of the cup, and Qi Lu wiped away the drop of milk with his index finger, as if he was curious about this thing, and fixed his eyes on that index finger.

Si Yu felt a rush of heat rushing up from the soles of his feet, and couldn't help but say, "Milk is not made like this."

Qi Lu looked sideways at Si Yu, with doubts in his eyes: "We don't have such things here."

"It's all right." Si Yu waved his hands, looked away, and stared at the upper of his slippers, "You drink yours."

He stared at the slippers for a full two or three minutes, until he felt the inexplicable enthusiasm subside, and then said, "Why don't you go out?"

Qi Lu's eyes turned cold instantly, and he asked back, "Why?"

"Beyond the mountains there is a bigger world with advanced civilization," Si Yu blurted out without thinking, "for a better life."

"Mr. Si, I suggest." Qi Lu leaned on the back of the sofa leisurely, "Let's talk about other things—for example, why did you give up a better life and come here?"

The dim night light cast a hazy outline on his face, and the corners of his upturned mouth drew a defensive and provocative arc. Si Yu looked back calmly, and asked with a smile after a while: "Have Mr. Qi asked Xiao Fu? There are so many children in the village, do they want to go outside and have a look?"

The smile on Qi Lu's face froze for a moment, he took out the handkerchief again, and wiped his fingers clean one by one.The black veil set off his white and slender hands. There is no part of his body that is not delicate, and the finger bones are no exception. They are thin but not slender.

After wiping his fingers, Qi Lu threw the handkerchief into the trash can, stood up, and said, "Thank you, Teacher Si."

He said thank you inexplicably, Si Yu didn't understand what it meant, but he got up and said, "You're welcome."

Qi Lu went back to his room No. 43. Xiao Fu slept heartlessly in the nest, the quilt was kicked to the ground, and the pajamas were pulled up to his chest, revealing his snow-white belly.

The little guy didn't know what he was dreaming about, with a smile on his face, and he smacked his mouth foolishly.

Qi Lu put the quilt back on him, tucked in the corners of the quilt, and stood beside the small bed quietly looking at the little guy for a while, then returned to his room, and lay down in the huge gilded black wooden coffin.

The dream just now was so real, even though more than 100 years have passed, Qi Lu can still feel the fear and despair at that time.

He woke up from the dream, his palms were covered with cold sweat, and his consciousness was still on the blood-soaked land. He was not fully awakened until there was a rustling sound outside the window.

Qi Lu hates dreaming. For him, "dream" means uncontrollable, which makes him feel extremely fragile and powerless.

The human next door brought him back to the real world by mistake, and made him a cup of steaming milk.

People say that milk can help sleep.

Qi Lu closed his eyes, thinking that he could sleep well tonight.

Early the next morning, Si Yu woke up on time to the sound of the tractor engine.

He is used to this starting point, Xiaofu drives the tractor on time at 05:30 every day, and the whole village calls morning, and he is not late for a second.

Si Yu put on a down jacket and stepped out of the yard on slippers, just in time to see Xiaofu struggling to climb onto the car with his short legs.

"Good morning Xiaofu!" Si Yu leaned against the door and greeted him with a smile.

Xiao Fu jumped down to the ground when he heard the sound, and ran a few steps towards Si Yu excitedly. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he covered his face with Xiaopang's hands, and ran into his house with a thump, and ran out with his little leather shoes after a while.

He ran up to Si Yu, turned his face up, his big eyes were piercing, and blinked vigorously at Si Yu.

Si Yu took a closer look and realized that Xiaofu was wearing a black hat just now, and had just changed into a yellow hat when he entered the room. The little yellow hat made him even cuter.

Si Yu squatted on the bed, patted Xiaofu's face, and said, "It's pretty, Xiaofu is so pretty."

Xiaofu grabbed the hem of his clothes nervously, and said childishly, "Xiaofu is not ugly, nor scary."

"Who says you are ugly?" Si Yu said seriously with a smile, "Xiao Fu is not ugly at all, Xiao Fu is the most beautiful baby."

"Really?" Xiaofu's eyes sparkled, and he grabbed the brim of the little yellow hat with both hands, happily circling in circles, "Xiaofu is not ugly, Xiaofu is not ugly!"

"Xiaofu."

Another person came out from the next yard, it was Qi Lu, he frowned slightly, and raised his chin in the direction of the tractor.

"Master, Xiaofu is not ugly at all! Xiaofu likes the little yellow hat!"

Qi Lu shook his head helplessly and said, "The time has passed."

Xiaofu's face was flushed, and she was so beautiful that it was almost bubbling. Si Yu couldn't help laughing, picked up Xiaofu and said, "Brother will carry you into the car."

Xiao Fu lay on Si Yu's shoulder and swayed back and forth: "Xiao Fu likes to hug!"

"Xiaofu, don't bother brother, come down." Qi Lu frowned and reprimanded coldly.

"It's okay," Si Yu turned his head and smiled at Qi Lu, "Xiao Fu is very good, I like him very much."

"Yeah!" Xiaofu laughed silly, "Brother Siyu is better than the master, Xiaofu likes you!"

With a cold face, Qi Lu turned and entered the room, and slammed the door shut.
