black sky

That word was simple and vague, and it was separated by a door, and the sound was even a little unclear, but it still made Chu Si straighten his back in an instant, and his face changed instantly.

He stood motionless, for a moment, he couldn't even hear other voices, the nerves in his body seemed to come alive and escaped from the body, and directly passed the door into the room, so that a little movement could be ignored It can make his body stiffer.

The sound of footsteps in the room suddenly appeared, as if someone was pulling slippers and walking away from the door.

The door lock that rang once did not move again, perhaps because the person inside the door changed his mind without hearing the answer.

Sometimes I am familiar with a person to a certain extent, and I can tell whether it is him or not from a few simple steps.

The moment the footsteps were about to leave, Chu Si subconsciously opened his mouth and replied, "I."

His voice was muffled and hoarse because of the blankness and stiffness, rolling in the bottom of his throat, so low that even he himself couldn't hear clearly.

Just as soon as he said it, he laughed at himself. The extremely simple answer of "I" is only suitable for those closest to him. The other party must know who it is as soon as he hears it, otherwise it will only increase embarrassment.

But who is he now? To the people in the door, it is just a strange voice, a strange face, a stranger who doesn't know each other, how can he have the qualifications to answer like this.

Must look stupid... Truss laughed at himself.

But being stupid, he is not worried that he will be turned away. After all, the person at the door is quite a good-tempered person. Back then, when a neighbor's fingerprint lock failed and he couldn't return home for a while, he also let him in. It seems to have stayed for a long time.Although he still couldn't figure out why Jiang Qi was so defenseless as a person who had been in the chaos of war.

The sound of footsteps paused for a moment, then suddenly became clearer and clearer, as if they were walking back to the door again.

"You're nervous." Sae Yang suddenly whispered in Chus's ear, as if whispering something.

"No." Truss replied.

However, it wasn't until he said these words that he realized that he had actually been holding his breath, and the hand hanging by his side also unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Sae Young was right, he was tense, and he didn't even know it.

The door lock rang softly again from inside, and this time it didn't stop abruptly.

The metal door shaft turned slightly, and the door was opened like this.The man inside the door was wearing the simplest shirt and trousers, the neckline was open casually, one sleeve was turned up to the elbow, and the other was just turned halfway.

He has the sharpness of a soldier, the bookishness of a researcher, and a slight, relaxed weariness about him.

Jiang Qi...

Even though he had guessed in his heart just now and made mental preparations for a while, Chus was still stunned at the door when he saw him, showing an almost blank expression.

He suddenly didn't know what year he was in.

Familiar clothes, familiar faces, nothing changed, as if Jiang Qi just went on a long business trip, packed up at will after finishing things, and went home simply like that.

"You are..." Inside the door, Jiang Qi's eyes cast over, and after an unknown number of years, they fell on Chu Si.

The moment he heard Jiang Qi speak, the bones on the side of Chu Si's face moved, and it seemed that he subconsciously gritted his teeth.

He frowned, lowered his head and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and waited for the heat around his eyes to subside before raising his head again.

Jiang Qi was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Such a tone was so familiar that Chu Si was stunned for a moment, then coughed at the bottom of his throat, cleared his throat and said, "We live upstairs, and the fingerprint lock is out of order and we can't enter the door for the time being. able……"

At this time, Chus had no extra attention to think of new excuses, and the only thing that came to mind was the words of the two neighbors back then.

After he finished speaking, he regretted a little, and he didn't know if the same reason would sound suspicious to Jiang Qi.

Jiang Qi didn't respond immediately, but just looked him up and down again, and finally his eyes fell back on his eyebrows, as if to confirm whether they were kind or not.

He glanced at Say Yang by the door again, and finally stepped aside to get out of the way, smiled and said: "The underground energy pool is out of order, and the property is already being repaired. Come in first."

There are two soft emergency lights on in the room, one is placed at the corner of the sofa and the other is in the hallway.

When he stood in this apartment again, Truss felt very complicated, it was a kind of contradictory feeling intertwined with subconscious relaxation and rational restraint.

Say Yang followed through the door and showed great interest in this place. He glanced at the general layout and layout of the room, then patted Chu Si on the shoulder, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "My dear. "

"Huh?" Chu Si's eyes followed Jiang Qi's back all the time, and he didn't even realize what Sae Yang was saying.

After another two seconds, he glanced at Say Yang belatedly: "..."

"There are only two people living here?" Sae Yang continued to ask.

Chu Si could only respond angrily: "Yes."

Jiang Qi folded the other sleeve and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Water is fine, thank you." Truss tried to make himself and Sae Young look like normal neighbors.

"Come and sit." Jiang Qi took two glasses of water and walked over to put them on the glass table, then walked around to the double sofa and bent down.

Truss had hardly paid attention to anything else when he entered the room, until he realized that there was a child nestled on the loveseat.

He looked less than ten years old, wearing a light gray long-sleeved home shirt, and his curled up posture made his shoulders and back bones protrude, making him look very thin.

He buried his face in the pillow and covered his forehead with his arms. He couldn't see his facial features, but he could only see his black hair, which made his skin extraordinarily white.

"So, that little thing sleeping in a ball is..." Sah Young asked knowingly again.

Chu Si turned to look at him: "..."

Sae Yang looked back at him innocently.

Afraid of being heard by Jiang Qi, Chu Si mouthed with a frozen face: "Do I have to thank you for not using the word little fool?"

Sae Young laughed, her pale eyes shining brightly when they were bent.

Jiang Qi tried to hug the curled up child, but the child buried his face deeper with the pillow and mumbled something.

"You love to sit on the sofa if you don't sleep on the bed, you kid..." Jiang Qi didn't insist, but raised his hand to touch the child's forehead, and muttered, "Are you sick?"

The child shook his head with his face buried, and finally said a clear word, "sleepy." The voice remained unchanged, with the characteristic softness of a child.

"Okay..." Jiang Qi straightened up helplessly, turned his head and smiled at Chu Si and Say Yang, "My son, he doesn't like to move his nest when he's asleep, just kidding."

Say Yang smiled lazily, "It's okay, it's quite interesting."

Chus: "..."

He is probably the most embarrassing person in this apartment. Jiang Qi and Sah Yang kept talking to each other, and every sentence pierced his face, and washed away his little emotions when he saw the old man again. Clean, nothing left.

Jiang Qi seemed to have just arrived home not long ago in that time and space. He signaled Chu Si and Say Yang to sit on the sofa for a while, and said, "I'll go get this kid a blanket."

Sae Yang didn't mean to be polite at all, and directly chose a seat near the double sofa to sit down.

Jiang Qijin walked into the bedroom with his slippers on, and Chu Si glanced at his back, then turned to look at Say Yang, showing a slightly warning look.

However, as long as there is that miniature version curled up next to him and sleeping in the dark, the effect of all warnings will be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, Sae Yang smiled meaningfully.

Chus: "..."

But to be honest, in this situation, no matter what the bastard did or said, Truss would not be impatient or annoyed.

"You look very happy." Sae Yang squinted at him, "Even a little excited, but not relaxed."

I have to say that this person is sometimes as sensitive as a beast, and can sniff out the slightest emotional changes——

Chu Si was really happy, because he saw Jiang Qi, the only one who could be called his family again, and he really didn't relax, because he knew that all this was temporary.

"You're a... weirdo." Truss snorted and sat down beside him.

With such a keen sense of emotion, his empathy is astonishingly cold.

The voices of the two were not loud, but the child curled up on the sofa moved.He raised his eyes from the pillow, frowned and gave them a rather impatient look.

There was still tiredness in his eyes, and he didn't seem to be fully awake.That kind of look was neither soft nor gentle, Sae Yang didn't know which tendon was wrong, he waved his finger at him, and whispered with a smile: "Hello, little sir."

Chus: "..."

The child curled up on the sofa frowned even tighter, as if he felt that this person was sick, his squinted eyes quickly closed, and he buried his head in the pillow again.

"The habit of finding something to bury your face as soon as you go to sleep has been formed since then." Sae Yang said.

Chu Si opened his mouth and was about to choke back, but suddenly remembered something.

In his memory, he vaguely remembered that Jiang Qi let two neighbors into the door because of a faulty fingerprint lock.

That day Jiang Qi was scheduled to go to another place to hold an academic research conference, which would last for about three days.

When he was reading a book on the sofa, he suddenly had a headache, and because there was no one at home, he was too lazy to go back to the bedroom, so he curled up on the sofa directly.

As a result, when he was dizzy from the pain, Jiang Qi came back because he forgot to bring something.

Because of the headache, his memory of that night was a little fuzzy and incoherent. He only remembered that when he opened his eyes again, there seemed to be two more people on the sofa.

He didn't even see clearly whether the other person looked young or old, he only vaguely remembered that the person had said something to him, called him sir or something.

He once thought that the scene behind was the result of confusing dreams with reality. After all, it is impossible for someone to call a sir to a child. Now it seems... the two neighbors he has always left a slight impression on are none other than Sahel Yang and himself.

But if what happened at this moment was what happened in his memory, then...

"I know what I need to find." Chu Si looked at Sah Young.

"Tell me." Say Yang straightened her long legs and changed to a more comfortable position.

Chu Si lowered his voice and said, "A draft."

In his memory, something happened after the two neighbors left—an important research draft of Jiang Qi was lost.
