Yin Yang

Yixiu carried Su Yi on his back to an extremely lively snack street nearby, where the steaming food and the noise of people flowed all over the street, exaggerating the carnival at night.Su Yi couldn't help raising his head, and began to observe this place he had never set foot in.

Dim signboards, bright light bulbs, shirtless shop assistants yelling enthusiastically, people waiting and feasting in front of stalls.And the dim light under the grill and the sizzling barbecue on the grill, the steaming noodles and snacks, the little ghosts wandering and running around, and the fog that covered the whole street with a thin layer of gray The smoke of gauze forms a blurry night scene.

All this made Su Yi a little curious and a little scared.He couldn't help shrinking from Yixiu's back, and couldn't help exerting a little force on his shoulders.

Yixiu thought he was in too much pain, so he diverted his attention: "What do you want to eat?"

Su Yi was taken aback, and whispered, "It's all right."

Hearing this, Yixiu turned his head and looked around, walked into a small shop, put Su Yi next to a table that was just vacated by people who had just checked out, and asked him with his head down: "Do you eat spicy food?"

Su Yi shook his head in a panic, and Yixiu said to the shopkeeper who came out, "Two bowls of seafood porridge."

"Okay." The store owner responded enthusiastically, and quickly stepped forward to clean up the mess left by a table of guests.

"Wait here for me." After Yixiu finished speaking, he strode out of the shop and walked to the bustling stalls outside.

As soon as he left, Su Yi froze on the plastic stool in an instant, his heart constricted suddenly.The loud noises around him and the chatter and laughter of people coming and going swept over like a roaring giant wave, occupying all his senses.

This bustle and noise was beyond what Su Yi had seen or heard in his narrow world, and it was beyond what he could bear. The quietness and solitude that made him feel calm and safe were blown apart.He wanted to retreat into the corner of the shop, but the pain in his body and Yixiu's words pinned him to the plastic stool, making him stuck in the noisy crowd.

A grotesque torrent of light, shadow, sound waves, and crowds swept him, and his emptiness seemed to be completely swallowed up by the noisy world, unable to struggle, and disappeared without a sound.Su Yi's pupils kept shrinking, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he curled up on the chair. Even though his back was aching, he couldn't help but shrink himself even tighter.

"Does your back hurt like this?"

Su Yi, whose eyes were empty, didn't hear this sentence until a hand with a dazzling light appeared in his eyes.That hand put something down on the table and waved it in front of his eyes again.

"What are you dazed about?"

His pupils trembled, and Su Yi slowly raised his head, a light different from black and white, and that familiar face appeared in his somewhat blurred vision.

"Ah... I..." Su Yi opened his mouth with a pale face, looking at Yixiu who was looking down at him with raised eyebrows, but couldn't speak.

"Two bowls of seafood porridge are here!"

The clerk came quickly with two big bowls of porridge, and put them lightly on the table: "You two, eat while it's hot!"

Yixiu withdrew his sharp gaze, sat down opposite Su Yi, and said, "Eat it if it hurts, and I'll take you to see a doctor after eating. The dish without spicy food is yours, so don't take it by mistake."

The white steam was steaming, Su Yi picked up the spoon and picked up the fragrant seafood porridge, and saw that it was almost mixed with the white porridge. It should be the slender thing of shredded ginger spread on the white porridge, and the dark gray green onion was sprinkled on the white porridge. On the surface, under the white porridge, there are many seafood ingredients that are different from the white porridge.He looked up at Yixiu, who was holding a few barbecue sticks and was munching on the opposite side. He picked up a spoon and blew gently, and put it in his mouth.

The soft rice grains are mixed with the delicious soup, with a fiery aroma filling the mouth.It didn't stay in the mouth for too long, and quickly slid into the throat, dispelling the chill all over the body with heat.

After taking a mouthful of hot porridge, Su Yi's tense body couldn't help but relax slightly.Yixiu glanced at him and said, "How is it? The porridge in this shop is first-rate."

Su Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's delicious."

Yixiu finished his big plate of barbecue in two or three gulps, and began to gulp down the porridge.

Seeing Yixiu eating so fast, the forgotten hunger in Su Yi's stomach swept over again, making him involuntarily start eating faster.In the process of eating, he couldn't help but look up at Yixiu, and then drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and a few mouthfuls of barbecue, as if Yixiu was something to eat.

Yixiu frowned, put down the empty porridge bowl with a bang, caught Su Yi's gaze looking over again, and said with a half-smile, "Why are you looking at me? Looks good?"

Su Yi quickly swallowed the porridge in his mouth, nodded seriously and said, "You look good, you radiate light, which is different from the whole world."

Now it was Yixiu's turn to feel choked.Ever since he was a child, there has never been a lot of benign and malicious attention to his appearance, but this is the first time someone has praised him so bluntly like Su Yi.

Moreover, the eyes under the bangs are damn sincere.

Yixiu rubbed his hair a little irritably, while Su Yi leaned forward and said hastily: "You have a different color on your body. This is the first time I have seen a color other than black and white. I, I want to wait Stay by your side for a little longer..."

Hearing this, Yixiu couldn't help but looked Su Yi up and down, and sneered, "Stay by my side? The secret service? What can you do in the face of a man-eating ghost with your body like a dead chicken?"

Su Yi froze for a moment, speechless.

If Yixiu hadn't happened to save him this afternoon, he wouldn't know how long he could have survived the attack of the white ape ghost just by relying on the pendant left by the old man.The iron-like facts made him bow his head, speechless.

Yixiu lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said flatly: "Sorry, the secret service department does not recruit people without outstanding abilities. You will not be able to stay in the secret service building any longer after the ghost with the heart is killed, which is tomorrow." , you have to go home."

Su Yi looked down at the gradually cooling seafood porridge in the bowl, and a faint fishy smell came from him, which made him completely lose his appetite.

The atmosphere was extremely stagnant for a while, Yixiu smoked a cigarette in a few puffs, looked at Su Yi who was coughing and coughing in the smoke, and said, "Take you to the hospital, sleep in the building tonight, and you can go back tomorrow morning. "After finishing speaking, he stood up and squatted down beside Su Yi, and directly picked up the sitting person.

Su Yi lay silently on Yixiu's body. The strong smell of smoke on his body made Su Yi cough again and again, and the muscles in his back were painful again.Fortunately, after walking out of the snack street, the smell of cigarettes on Yixiu's body was blown away by the evening wind, which made him no longer uncomfortable to continue coughing.

It was almost early morning, Su Yi looked at the red light covering the entire retina, and the smell of tobacco that lingered gently in his nose.Lying on Yixiu's back, he seemed to be one with the light, but he was actually two different individuals.What should he do if the subject of the light refuses his approach?

Su Yi's eyelashes trembled, and he suddenly said, "There's no need to go to the hospital."

"Ah?" Yixiu turned to look at him suspiciously, and immediately got very close to Su Yi's face.He couldn't help raising his head to avoid it, and said again: "Why don't you go to the hospital?"

Su Yi didn't notice Yixiu's actions just now. He lowered his eyes and said, "You don't need to go to the hospital, just apply some medicine."

After a wordless silence, Yixiu turned around and said, "It's up to you."

Returning to the secret service building in silence, Yixiu put Su Yi down and set up a folding bed for him in the small room next to the hall: "People from the secret service department are already chasing and killing that ghost outside, sleep here tonight , you will be safe tomorrow."

This room looks like it is used for entertaining guests. Several small sofas are placed on the soft carpet, and there is a small wine cabinet next to it. It is very spacious, and it is more than enough to put a folding bed.

The light in the room was turned off when Yixiu went out. Su Yi sat on the folding bed and quickly adapted to the dark environment.He hugged the blanket on his body, carefully and slowly lay down on his side, feeling a strong sense of security in this silent darkness where he was alone, which calmed him down quickly.

He touched the octagonal pendant on his chest, and remembered what the old man said when he asked him to learn sketching.

At that time, he held his own small hand in his big, broad and wrinkled hand, and drew the first strokes on the drawing paper.He said in a deep voice: "Xiao Yi, this world is not only black and white, I hope you can observe the world through painting and know how to discover the beauty of the world."

If the world was really as dazzling and colorful as the ray of light on Yixiu, he probably wouldn't be so resistant to the world.

Su Yi thought, and slowly closed his eyes.

Consciousness gradually sank into the darkness, and when Su Yi opened his eyes again, he saw a boundless darkness in front of him, and there were two doors hidden behind the mist, which could not be seen clearly.

It was this dream again.

However, the fog shrouded in front of those two doors seemed to have lightened a bit, revealing something indistinctly.

It's not an illusion, it's really light.

Su Yi stood there, motionless.

There is no desire to inquire, no desire to choose.

His curiosity is limited.

Su Yi looked at the two doors indifferently, watching them fade away and return to darkness without moving.

The light faintly passed through the eyelids, awakening Su Yi's mind.He opened his eyes and found that it was the morning of the next day.Without the "alarm clock" that must ring on time every day in the old community, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while, lying on the bed for a while, he remembered his current situation.

The dull pain in the back did not disappear after a whole night, but it became more painful, twitching and irritating Su Yi's nerves.He slumped weakly on the folding bed, trying to sit up with difficulty, but the sharp pain from his back made his eyes go dark, and he collapsed on the bed again.

Panting to relieve the wave of pain, Su Yi, who was covered in cold sweat, trembled with his fingers, and supported the bed with his weak hands, trying to sit up again.

He tremblingly propped up half of his body, but his slender and trembling arms could not support the painful body.With a weak shake of his arm, he fell down again with a bang, struggling to breathe like a dehydrated fish, and slumped on the folding bed as if dead. This time, he really had no strength at all.

At this time, the door was knocked, and a pleasant female voice came from outside the door: "Have the guests inside woke up? Breakfast is ready."

Su Yi was paralyzed on the folding bed, motionless, unable to speak because of the pain.

It seemed that someone said something again outside the door, but it was too far away to hear clearly, and then Su Yi heard a familiar energetic male voice: "Are you there? Shall we come in? Is it okay?"

There was no response from the room, the door was swung open, and a baby-faced young man with light-colored hair protruded from the opening.He turned his eyes and saw Su Yi who was looking at him weakly: "You're awake, why don't you talk?"

Su Yi moved his arms, not wanting to be seen in his distressed state.He tried again to support his body, but his strength was drained by the pain, and he couldn't support his heavy body at all, so he could only tremble and fall down again.

A girl with long curly black hair poked her head out behind the baby-faced youth, her eyes widened in surprise.She stepped forward quickly over the baby-faced youth, put her hands on the sweaty Su Yi's back, and said softly: "Don't move! You're hurt, I'll just sing you a song!"

"Wait, Bai Qing..." The baby-faced young man was taken aback for a moment, trying to stop her, but the girl had already squatted down and was ready.

For a moment, Su Yi thought he had heard wrong.

Sing, sing?

The author has something to say:

Ji Baiqing: (serious face) You can heal your wounds by listening to my singing!

Su Yi: ...
