Different pupils

Lin Haoren washed and changed clothes as quickly as possible, and was even out of breath when he opened the door. The cold wind came in from the outside and washed away the heavy warmth in the room. Xing Yu's nose moved, and said: "Did you eat takeaway yesterday? Let me Guess what, pizza?"

Lin Haoren didn't like to open the window. The air conditioner was turned on all night, so the smell of the takeaway never dissipated. Lin Haoren's ears and neck were flushed, so he quickly turned off the air conditioner and opened the window, and then opened the curtain. , and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a bottle of perfume that Xiao Dan left here, and sprayed it randomly.

Sitting on the sofa, Xing Yu watched him flustered with a smile, and glanced at the dark spots under his eyes, and said, "Did you stay up late? Or didn't you sleep well?"

Lin Haoren poured a glass of boiling water and put it on the table with a "bang", and said angrily, "Don't worry about it."

Xing Yu said: "Hey, what's wrong with the house? I don't dislike you."

Lin Haoren said: "Please make a call before coming next time."

Xing Yu said slowly: "I just like to see you in the most natural way. Between us, we don't need those hypocrisy and politeness, just meet honestly."

Lin Haoren touched his hot ears: "You just came to tell me this?"

"I brought you a gift." Xing Yu put a bag of things on the table, various snacks and drinks, and a bunch of foreign snacks.

"I don't know which one you like, so I took some of them." Xing Yu said, "Go to my place to celebrate the New Year at night. Senior Xiao Dan can also come together."

"He's busy."

Xing Yu immediately said: "Then you come alone, that's great."

Lin Haoren glanced at him, feeling a little funny: "Aren't you two naive? Why did he mess with you?"

"I don't know either." Xing Yu spread his hands, "Maybe he is afraid that I will take you away? Is he jealous because you two have such a strong relationship?"

Lin Haoren kicked him under the table: "Speak well."

Xing Yu couldn't explain why, but he just liked to see men act like they didn't know what to do with her.He thinks that he is not such a boring person, but he just likes to appear simpler, naive, and "boring" in front of the other party.

Even if most of the content of the conversation between the two is not nutritious, he can still speak with great interest.

Lin Haoren took a look at his mobile phone. Everyone is on holiday at the end of the year. Even the editor who usually keeps an eye on him posted a happy new year early and then quickly went offline. He could feel the lively atmosphere through the screen. Before Xiao Dan called When the call came, he could also "smell" a strong smell of the New Year. Compared with the takeaway smell in his house, he revealed an indescribable sense of coolness.

Red lanterns were hung outside the old community, and new couplets were pasted up in every household.Fireworks and firecrackers have not been allowed in recent years, but the child still has a throwing cannon in his hand, throwing it on the road and exploding it with a crisp sound, which startled the dogs nearby to bark.

The busier it is outside, the colder it is inside.

If Xing Yu didn't come today, he might just sleep until tomorrow.

"I'm an outsider..." He was rather disappointed, and declined politely, "I won't go if I accept it. Say hello to my uncle and aunt for me."

Xing Yu seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and didn't force it. He nodded and said, "Okay, what do you have for dinner? You can't get takeout at this place. Is there any food in the refrigerator? Otherwise, I can ask my family to deliver some... ..."

"Wait!" Lin Haoren was startled, "What are you doing? You're not going back?"

"I'm tired of spending Chinese New Year with them all the time, and I also want to be quiet and quiet. We have a lot of family members, you know, the New Year's quarrel is a headache..." Xing Yu laughed, "You should be kind and take me in for a while. "

Lin Haoren wanted to chase someone away, but looking at the gifts on the table, he couldn't do such a heartless thing.

Xing Yu is enthusiastic and active, his whole body is like a fire that can burn people to ashes, burning from the inside out, which cannot be easily extinguished.Lin Haoren was not good at socializing at all, so he didn't know what to say at this time - everyone remembered him during the holidays, and even personally sent gifts, and invited him to his home to celebrate the New Year together...

It's all here, and he still wants to drive people away, isn't it too heartless?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xing Yu took him as his acquiescence, took off his coat, took off his scarf and hung it on the hanger, closed the window again, turned on the air conditioner, and said, "Just a little ventilation, be careful if you catch a cold in cold weather." gone."

Lin Haoren sighed in his heart, stood up and said, "There are still vegetables in the refrigerator, and by the way, there are sausages, which are Cantonese, do you want to eat?"

"Eat!" Xing Yu rolled up his sleeves, "I'll help you."

"You? Pull it down..."

The two of them entered the kitchen while talking, the sound of washing vegetables and voices came out high and low, as if weaving a dense warmth and softness, covering this small world softly, even the lights seemed soft. few.

When watching the dinner at the party, it is obviously an ordinary side dish, because someone eats it together, it also has a sense of New Year's ceremony.

Xing Yu dug out the red wine from the gifts he brought, and touched each of them a glass. The steaming steam made Lin Haoren's cold brows rosy and energetic, and he looked more energetic.

Xing Yu found a few more small plates, put out the snacks they brought one by one, and introduced them to Lin Haoren one by one.

"Why do you like sweets?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

"I like to eat salty, strong taste. I mean the taste of the food is strong, not that I have a strong taste."

Lin Haoren: "...No, you don't need to explain to me."

Countdown to New Year's Eve, the host shouted on the screen: "Ten, Nine..."

Xing Yu raised his glass: "The luckiest thing this year is that I found you, senior. I'm really happy."

Lin Haoren's heart skipped a beat, and the words "I found you" seemed to pluck a string deep in his soul, making his nose sore and his throat tight for no reason.

"There are not many people like us. Although our profession is familiar with Yin and Yang, the feeling that only you can see it is still different. I can understand you, senior, I was also lonely before."

A huge clock appeared on the screen, with the last three seconds left.

"three two--!"

Xing Yu touched Lin Haoren's cup: "Happy New Year! Nice to meet you!"

Lin Haoren's lips moved, and he said softly amidst the New Year's bell: "Happy New Year. Thank you."

Then the whole neighborhood suddenly lost power.

The darkness engulfed the two of them in an instant, and the carnival in the residential building in the distance seemed particularly distant for an instant.

There were exclamations from upstairs.

"Why did the power go out?"

"Go and see! Is it tripped?!"

"Mother--"

"Wow, woof—!"

The voices of the people gathered together, and there was a commotion outside the window. Every household was bustling with excitement. After a while, someone wrapped in a heavy coat came out with a flashlight to check the switch.

The light of the torch was dangling on the window, and the yard was very lively for a while.Neighbors who are busy with work on weekdays and rarely get in touch with each other also take advantage of this time to start their daily routines.

"Hey, this is Junjun, right? They've grown so big? Are you married?"

"The child just came back from other provinces... yeah, it's not easy..."

"...My daughter booked a plane ticket for me to travel abroad, and leave early tomorrow morning..."

The women ate melon seeds and chatted, the children laughed and laughed together, and the men discussed the switch with cigarettes in their mouths.Only Lin Haoren's house is quiet.

Lin Haoren turned back from the window and said in a low voice, "It seems to have tripped, the old community is like this..."

Xing Yu drank the wine in the glass, and waved a yellow talisman with his fingertips: "Sorry, I seem to have caused you trouble."

Lin Haoren said "Ah?", and the flashlight of his mobile phone shone a light on the side of Xing Yu's face: "What does this have to do with you..."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a "bang", Xing Yu kicked over the chair, a yellow talisman was slapped on the ground, and a "person" was "pulled" out of the ground.

Lin Haoren: "..."

Lin Haoren: "????" What the hell? !

Of course, the person pulled out from the ground cannot be a "person". Lin Haoren swept over with the flashlight, and saw a flickering soul being pulled out of the ground. He could not see the man or woman of the other party, and his ankle-length hair covered his face. It was tightly covered; a withered hand twisted and struggled, the sound of ghostly howls filled the sky, and the thick Yin Qi exploded in an instant, overturning the furniture in the room, and the clock on the wall fell down with a bang.

The second hand of the clock quickly reversed, and the curtains were pulled up, as if they suddenly had self-awareness, they were suddenly rolled together and strangled Lin Haoren's neck.

Lin Haoren was caught off guard. He was lifted off the ground by the curtains, clutching the window frame tightly with one hand, kicking around with his feet.

"Senior!" Xing Yu's pupils shrank, and a red light flashed on the yellow talisman, hitting Soul with a slap.

The soul's hair immediately burned, but it was not a fiery red light, but a permeating green.

"Let him go!" Xing Yu's face was terrified, with a cold light in his eyes.

The soul is very persistent, pointing upwards with one hand, half of a rotten face is exposed behind the burning long hair, there is nothing in the dark eye sockets, the curtains are tightened in an instant, Lin Haoren's mobile phone falls to the ground, and a sense of suffocation surrounds him violently he.

"Hiss...cough..."

Seeing that Lin Haoren was out of breath, Xing Yu took out a switchblade from his pocket, the blade slashed across the yellow talisman, and immediately revealed a cold white light, piercing into the body of the soul and flying out at the same time, slamming the top of the curtain. Cut off hard.

Lin Haoren fell down suddenly, and before he fell to the ground, his face was suddenly covered by the curtain that was broken in two.

He tugged wildly with both hands, but he couldn't move the curtains at all. Seeing that he was about to suffocate again, there was a knock on the door: "Xiao Lin?"

"We heard voices from your house...Xiao Lin, are you at home?"

"Could it be a thief?"

"Hey, it's possible. I haven't seen Xiao Lin since yesterday. Maybe he's not here."

"Would you like to call the police?"

Lin Haoren turned over and rolled to the side of the tea table. The knife in the fruit bowl hit the back of his hand. He didn't care whether he would cut his hand, grabbed the knife and stabbed it at the curtain.

With a sound of "tearing—" the curtain under the neck was cut open by him, blood was cut from the fingers, and the blood dripped to the ground like a winding red line.

The soul was wounded by Xing Yu's knife, and retreated with a howl, revealing a rotten and unrecognizable face under the burnt hair.

The wound on its chest cracked little by little, and its soul seemed to be evaporated. Unwillingly, it wanted to take Lin Haoren as a hostage, but was stabbed in the back again by the knife that flew back.

"Happy death day." Xing Yu's face was cold, his methods were ruthless, and he was merciless. When he twisted the yellow talisman between his fingers, the knife changed direction, pierced the soul's body from the side again, and pierced it out.

The soul trembled violently, as if it had leaked air. It stared at Xing Yu with resentment on its face, and gradually dissipated into the air.

The force pulling the curtains suddenly disappeared. Lin Haoren pulled the curtains open and lay down on the ground panting hard. Because of the severe suffocation, his eyes were blurred and his ears were full of tinnitus. After a few breaths, he suddenly retched.

"Ugh...cough cough cough...vomit..."

"Are you okay?" Xing Yu ran over and supported him, "Senior? Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."

Xing Yu helped him with his back, and it took a while for Lin Haoren to recover from the panic and suffocation.

The voices outside the door grew louder.

"Community Xiaodong is here!" Someone shouted, "Give way!"

"Did you call the police?" a man asked in a low voice.

"Not yet, I don't know if it's a thief...Xiao Dong, listen to this movement?"

Lin Haoren and Xing Yu looked at each other, and they were speechless when they saw the mess in the room.

Lin Haoren grabbed Xing Yu's hand and stood up, rubbed his neck, took the curtains to cover the scattered furniture, and whispered: "You go inside, I'll take care of it."

Xing Yu nodded and quietly entered the bedroom.

Lin Haoren wiped his forehead hair, took a deep breath, stepped forward and opened the door.He thought that anyway, it's dark everywhere now, and people outside can't see what's in the house...

As a result, just as he opened the door, there was a "sizzling" electric current, and the lights in the room flickered and turned on.

"Hey! There's a call!"

"OK OK!"

The people outside the corridor shouted, and the people at the door stared at the messy living room behind Lin Haoren in dumbfounded.

The apple rolled on the ground, the dishes on the table were overturned, the soup and wine flowed all over the floor; a wooden chair broke a leg, not to mention Lin Haoren's blood was still on the ground.

Everyone: "..."

Lin Haoren: "..."

Lin Haoren: Why is it always me who is unlucky?
