Jigsaw puzzle

Han Yicheng was a little puzzled. He didn't quite understand where Li Ran's excitement came from, so he asked him, "Why are you still watching?"

Li Ran rubbed his hands, his face full of excitement: "It's not just fear! The moment of being scared is very refreshing and decompressing! Besides, don't you want to see me embarrassed?"

Han Yicheng fell into deep contemplation. He had never watched any horror movies since he was a child. This time Li Ran proposed to watch it with him, and he was quite interested.

However, Han Yicheng is well aware of his fear of the dark, especially the blurred shadows in the dark, he is quite afraid.

If I showed that I was more scared than Li Ran, wouldn't it be me who lost face twice?

Because of the lessons learned from the treadmill, Han Yicheng decided to confess to Li Ran first.

"I...may be scared too?" Han Yicheng said hesitantly, "Although I haven't seen horror movies before, I'm usually afraid of the dark."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hearty smile. He patted the sofa: "Then you have to watch it together!!! This kind of thing is only interesting if you hold it together and shiver!"

"okay…"

Han Yicheng sat on the sofa in doubt, and watched Li Ran come from the side with a quilt, and put it on the two of them very imposingly.

"This," Li Ran patted the quilt, "it's our protective umbrella against ghosts and goblins. If you're really scared and there are scenes you don't want to see, just get in and don't hold on. Do you understand?"

Han Yicheng looked at the quilt on his body, but he didn't feel any more secure in his heart.But seeing what Li Ran said was serious, he could only nod his head.

"Okay! Let's get started!" Li Ran happily clicked on the "Play" button, then picked up two bottles of beer, handed one to Han Yicheng and kept the other to himself, and clinked the glasses symbolically, "Jiu Zhuang Cowardly!"

Two 10 minutes later.

"Han Yicheng, what are you doing!!!" Li Ran dragged Han Yicheng out of the quilt with all his strength, "It's not scary yet, okay? This is just a bedroom with no lights on!!! What are you hiding from?" !"

"..."

Han Yicheng was forcibly dragged out of the quilt with a livid face. He felt uncomfortable looking at the dark bedroom on the screen, especially with the sad background sound, which made people's skin crawl.

Without the protection of the quilt, Han Yicheng had no choice but to return his gaze to the TV. He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and gently pulled one of Li Ran's arms into his arms.

Li Ran was in a "cold sweat" stage at this time, and his heart was already beating secretly, but he was still calm on the surface.At this moment, he didn't have time to think about the ambiguous atmosphere. As soon as Han Yicheng grabbed his arm, he moved towards Han Yicheng with all his strength.

After half an hour.

"Ah!!!!" Li Ran looked at the female ghost crawling on the ground with blood all over her face, shaking like a sieve, unable to care about her image at all, and tried her best to burrow into Han Yicheng's arms.

However, Han Yicheng didn't seem to have a strong reaction to this more concrete ghost. He patted Li Ran's back stiffly and complained softly, "Why are you so loud..."

"Ah!!! She's coming!!!" Li Ran yelled brokenly, and Han Yicheng, who was hugging him, was a little out of breath.

Han Yicheng couldn't figure out what kind of posture the two of them were twisted into under the quilt, so he could only hold Li Ran up and lift up a little bit, and put his half-kneeling legs on the bottom.

"Ah—" Li Ran screamed again, "Legs! Legs!!"

Han Yicheng looked at the screen in bewilderment, the female ghost had already crawled onto the protagonist's bed, with her dirty hair hanging upside down, but no matter how you looked at it, "her" legs were still pretty curved.

"You are very strange." Han Yicheng said in a low voice, "How can your legs scare you like this?"

"My leg!!! You crushed my leg!!!"

Only then did Han Yicheng realize that the "quilt" on his knee just now was actually Li Ran's calf.

He quickly pulled his knee away and asked Li Ran to stretch out his legs from under the quilt.The pajama pants Li Ran was wearing were originally loose, but after the tossing just now, the legs of the trousers had long been rolled up above the knee, revealing a slender and tight calf, with a large dark purple bruise on the front.

Han Yicheng was taken aback for a moment, the injury was obviously not caused by him just now, he remembered how Li Ran squatted in the bathroom in the morning, frowned and said, "You..."

"I made it in class," Li Ran explained nonchalantly when he saw Han Yicheng's expression, and then got under the quilt without looking at the screen.

Han Yicheng lifted the quilt helplessly: "Aren't you resting today?"

"Oh, why do you have so many questions!" Li Ran's mood fluctuated greatly when watching horror movies, "Hurry up!! Stop me!"

It wasn't until the end of the movie that Li Ran's ups and downs gradually relaxed. He slumped on the sofa and watched Han Yicheng put the mess of a coffee table into the trash can.

"How is it? Isn't it exciting?" He asked Han Yicheng.

Han Yicheng obviously didn't understand the significance of this kind of self-abuse experience, but he also felt that it was quite novel to see a different Li Ran tonight.

"Your voice is too loud," Han Yicheng said, "Movies are not as scary as you."

Li Ran obviously did not expect that Han Yicheng would speak in such a tone of disdain for himself. He covered his mouth with the quilt and smiled for a long time before sticking out his head: "Not bad, then my goal has been achieved, and now we can be regarded as exposing each other's background!"

Han Yicheng smiled and continued to pack the things in his hands.

"But old Han, it's really strange that you're scared!" Li Ran took the last sip from the bottle, looked at Han Yicheng and asked him, "You're not afraid of such a scary female ghost covered in blood. What's so scary about an empty room? of?"

Han Yicheng stopped packing his things for a moment, raised his head and thought for a while: "I don't know, when I was very young, I was very resistant to sleeping in a dark room by myself."

"It's normal for children to be afraid of the dark. I remember that when I was in elementary school, sometimes I didn't dare to sleep alone, so I went to my dad to accompany me." Li Ran recalled the past and smiled.

Han Yicheng looked at him and asked, "Is your father with you?"

"No," Li Ran said, "but he said that if I'm really scared one day, I can sleep with the light on, or go to the next door and chat with him for a while before coming back." Seeing Han Yicheng deep in thought, Li Ran asked him: " What about you? How old were you when you started sleeping by yourself?"

"I seem to have slept by myself since I can remember," Han Yicheng said. "My father...don't allow me to sleep with the light on. If he finds that my room is lit at night, he will be punished the next day."

Li Ran's expression was unbelievable: "Your father is too ruthless, isn't he your own father?"

Han Yicheng shook his head, "He treats me... very strict, it's not that he doesn't take it seriously, it's just that... I feel that since I was a child, I have lived with his wishes and wishes on my back."

Li Ran blinked: "Then... have you talked to him?"

"Not all problems can be solved through communication," Han Yicheng looked downcast. "My father was like a person who couldn't talk at first, and later... there was no need to talk about it."

"Oh..." Li Ran nodded and took Han Yicheng's hand, "Old Han, do you want to sleep with me today?"

Han Yicheng was gagged by his sudden conversation, he didn't know how to answer for a while, it seemed a bit weird to agree immediately, but he couldn't bear to refuse Li Ran, so he froze in place for a while.

"Ah, I'm so scared," Li Ran covered his face with his hand a little pretentiously, "I'm afraid I'll have a nightmare all night, and I won't be able to go to class tomorrow."

Han Yicheng: ...

Li Ran observed Han Yicheng's vacillation through his fingers, and quickly added fire to his performance: "My leg hurts, if I can't rest well, how can I teach..."

Han Yicheng felt guilty when he heard about Li Ran's leg pain. After cleaning up the trash on the table, he walked to Li Ran who was still obsessed with acting and squatted down: "Come up."

Li Ran: "Huh?"

Han Yicheng leaned in, making it easier for Li Ran to climb up on his back: "I'll carry you in."

Li Ran's heart beat faster, and felt that his nosebleed was about to flow out. He used the most vigorous movements to lie on Han Yicheng's back, and then, wrapped in his favorite smell, moved to Han Yicheng's bedroom.

During this period, Li Ran couldn't hold back, rubbed his thigh against Han Yicheng's waistline, and sighed: "Old Han, your running is very effective, and now it feels so comfortable to hug!"

Han Yicheng gave a "hmm", and the voice reached Li Ran's ears through his back. The low voice was accompanied by body vibrations, which made Li Ran excited, raised his head excitedly, and made a loud "boom".

The door frame of Han Yicheng's bedroom was knocked off by Li Ran.This time, Li Ran was stunned, and he didn't even have time to shout. After the sound of "嘤", the whole person became quiet.

Han Yicheng was startled, and quickly put Li Ran down on his bed, touched Li Ran's forehead, and there was a big swollen bump.He sighed, got up and went to the kitchen to cook two eggs, and rubbed them on Li Ran's head for a while.

At first Li Ran could still groan in pain, but then the pain gradually subsided, Li Ran gradually closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became even.

Han Yicheng stared at his sleeping face for a long time, his eyes gradually became gentle from the initial entanglement, and finally he didn't say anything, but quietly took Li Ran's hand and touched it to his lips.

This kiss was good, Han Yicheng felt that Li Ran's hand visibly twitched, and when he raised his head, he met Li Ran's smiling eyes.

"What are you doing?" Li Ran asked him, "This hooligan's playing is pretty cool~"

Han Yicheng blushed, he hesitated and couldn't speak.He didn't want to lie and say that he had no feelings for Li Ran, but he didn't have enough courage to face it yet.

"I'm sorry," Han Yicheng said, he turned his face to the other side, not daring to look at Li Ran, "I haven't... figured it out..."

Li Ran smiled, rubbed Han Yicheng's hair, and asked him to look at him, "If you don't want to understand, think about it slowly," he said, "What's the rush? Anyway, I'm here, and I can't run away."

Han Yicheng lay down under the quilt and felt Li Ran squeeze towards him.The two of them were next to each other across the quilt, and as soon as he inhaled, he could smell the fresh and pleasant lemon scent on Li Ran's body.

He stared up at the ceiling for a while, feeling that he had never felt so at ease lying in a dark room like this moment, but his heart was beating so fast.

Han Yicheng didn't remember when he fell in love with Li Ran, maybe it was when Li Ran set off fireworks with him during Chinese New Year, maybe it was when Li Ran gave him seeds on his birthday, maybe it was... the first time he caught Li Ran in the dance room.

But he can be sure that the current self is getting stronger day by day, and wants to develop further with Li Ran.

Not just joking around, watching movies, going out to dinner...

But want to touch him more, touch him, kiss him, even...

Han Yicheng felt a burst of hotness in his body. On the one hand, he forced himself to reject this feeling in his mind, and on the other hand, he couldn't restrain himself from indulging himself, approaching the heat source next to him.

Therefore, Han Yicheng, who spent the whole night in the battle between heaven and man, unfortunately suffered from insomnia all night.

When he arrived at the unit the next day, the uncle security guard at the door was startled by the huge dark circles under his eyes.He pushed open the office door, and found that his "Shenyin" senior brother Tian Lei was sitting at his desk, looking serious at the computer.

He entered the room and nodded to Tian Lei, and Tian Lei's gaze fell on Han Yicheng all the time.

"Junior Brother... Have you been under too much pressure recently?" Tian Lei asked him a little worriedly, "When I'm not here, does the old man put all the projects on you?"

Han Yicheng shook his head and said, "It's just that I didn't sleep well yesterday."

"You didn't sleep yesterday, okay? You haven't slept for a week, right?" Tian Lei handed Han Yicheng a mirror, and pouted at him, "Look at your dark circles, it's almost spreading to the corner of your mouth!"

Han Yicheng took a look in the mirror and found that his complexion was indeed extremely bad. The original appearance with three white eyes and tear grooves would usually look a little "mourning". With the addition of dark circles today, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a walking dead.

"Today Cheng Yi said he would invite me to dinner tonight," Han Yicheng handed back the mirror to Tian Lei, "Do you want to come together?"

Tian Lei's hands on the keyboard visibly froze, and he shook his head unnaturally: "They said they want to treat you to dinner, why are you taking me? If you don't want to go, don't go."

"Didn't you say before that you should invite all thank-you banquets?" Han Yicheng asked Tian Lei with a sideways face, "Are you really not going?"

Tian Lei waved his hand bluntly: "Han Yicheng, why have you become so talkative recently? I won't go if I don't want to go!"

When Cheng Yi came to the office to look for Han Yicheng in the afternoon, Tian Lei had already packed up his things and fled away. Cheng Yi opened the door and saw that Han Yicheng was alone in the room, he was obviously relieved.

"Is there only senior brother alone? Great, let's go quickly, there will be more people in the cafeteria after get off work."

The place where Cheng Yi invites Han Yicheng to eat is on the second floor of the cafeteria of their unit. You can swipe the meal card in the cafeteria and order some high-end fried and cold dishes. It is a very suitable treat for Cheng Yi, a postgraduate student with limited economic strength. place.

Cheng Yi has a quiet and generous personality, and she is somewhat similar to Han Yicheng, but she is not as resistant to socializing as Han Yicheng, and she can take the initiative to find something to talk about in normal chats.When two people with such personalities stay together, they are both in the comfort zone of each other's communication, and there is no need to force themselves to adapt to other people's social methods.

"Do you have any trouble with Tian Lei?" Han Yicheng asked suddenly.

Cheng Yi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Senior brother looks very numb, but he is really careful, you can find all of this."

Han Yicheng didn't say anything, he added two mouthfuls of food to the bowl, and waited for Cheng Yi to speak.

"Actually, it's not a holiday," Cheng Yi said, "It's just that when the boss asked me to ask him to revise my thesis a few months ago...he hinted that he has a good impression of me."

Han Yicheng looked up at Cheng Yi: "Is he chasing you?"

Cheng Yi shook his head, looking a little helpless: "It's not chasing at all. If he wants to have a good relationship, I can try it. But he told me that it would be good for me to do projects with him. I said yes If he refused, he just... said something, which I was quite disgusted with."

"What did he say?" Han Yicheng asked.

"Anyway, what that means is that if I want to get along with someone in this circle, he is the most suitable person." Cheng Yi stirred the rice in his bowl with chopsticks, his delicate brows frowned, "He said you are the same as I'm not on the right track, and Boss Wei doesn't bother to find a student like me, so...it's annoying."

"My test scores are not low, and I also came in through serious channels, which made me have to work with a man to do this job. Although I am a bit stupid at the beginning, it is not useless to get familiar with it. It can be saved... You said that it is not impossible for him to have a serious relationship, why did he make such a move..."

Obviously, these things have been held in Cheng Yi's mind for a long time, and he finally found someone to talk about his distress, and he couldn't stop once he opened his mouth.

"Hey, I'm sorry, senior brother. I originally invited you to dinner, but it turned out that I was taking out the trash." Cheng Yi scratched his head embarrassedly, "The main fact is that I am upset. My parents urge me to find a boyfriend every day, but I didn't." Way to tell them..."

Han Yicheng looked at Cheng Yi who was scratching his head, and suddenly asked, "Do you mind if the boy's body is not good?"

Cheng Yi didn't expect Han Yicheng to ask this suddenly, and after thinking for a while, he hesitated and said, "Yes... how bad is it?"

Han Yicheng: "What do you think is poor figure?"

Cheng Yi scratched his head again, "Just...if I give you an 8...I can accept a 4 and above, right?"

Han Yicheng was used to being beaten by Li Ran, but he couldn't believe it when he heard this score: "You gave me an 8?"

Cheng Yi smiled shyly, "Brother, you are so fierce that most people dare not approach you. Otherwise, several girls in this class of graduate students will ask you to ask for WeChat."

When Han Yicheng heard this sentence, he suddenly thought of Li Ran's sentence "You look like that perverted killer!" He subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth, took out his phone and found Li Ran's name.

"By the way," Cheng Yi caught a glimpse of Li Ran's name on Han Yicheng's phone, and a trace of curiosity flashed across his face, "Just now, you were talking about me, brother, you look so bad today, did you quarrel with your boyfriend last night?"
