reverse fall

After finishing this sentence without thinking, Shen Xingmian went to the kitchen to cook noodles for two, and asked Cheng Shu to eat together.

The sky outside was pale, and Shen Xingmian had eaten a meal, whether it was breakfast or supper, and knelt down on the sofa and rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"You haven't slept all night, can you still go to work during the day?" Cheng Shu came out of the kitchen to wash the dishes, shook off the water on his hands, squatted next to Shen Xingmian and touched his forehead, "Are you sick?" ?”

"I'm fine, just leave me alone and let me be quiet."

Cheng Shu didn't bother to make fun of himself, and went straight back to the room to catch up on sleep.

Shen Xingmian fell asleep on the sofa for a while in a daze, and woke up at dawn. He touched his phone to check the time. It was already noon.

After getting up and feeding the cat food to the dumpling, Shen Xingmian went back to the bedroom and looked up the starry sky map on the Internet again, trying to inspire some inspiration, but the more anxious he was, the less he had a clue.

After lying on the bed for a long time, Shen Xingmian got up and went to Cheng Shu's room, and woke up Cheng Shu who was still catching up on sleep.

Cheng Shu woke up with a lot of energy, and waved Shen Xingmian away impatiently, "Get up, don't bother."

For a moment, Shen Xingmian felt that the relationship between him and Cheng Shu seemed to be back to the past.

Swinging Shen Xingmian away, Cheng Shu lay down peacefully for a few minutes, then suddenly woke up, turned over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xingmian was startled, "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask you what you can think of when you hear the word 'star'?"

Cheng Shu tilted his head in confusion, thought for a while and said, "Light, a faint light."

I thought Cheng Shu would give some popular answer, but I didn't expect his thinking to be so out of bounds, but it opened up a little bit of thinking for him, so I said "thank you" and planned to go back to the room to continue to struggle.

"Why do you ask this? What to do?"

"To participate in a competition, I need to draw the theme of stars." Shen Xingmian didn't explain much, "By the way, I have to concentrate on preparing for the competition in the past few days. You can find a way to solve the meal."

"Huh? No..." Before Cheng Shu could say anything, Shen Xingmian left the room.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Xingmian was still in the room. Cheng Shu knocked on the door and asked him if he wanted to eat the instant noodles. Shen Xingmian replied "No time" and ignored him.

In the room, Shen Xingmian was immersed in drawing on the paper. There were more than a dozen scraps of paper scattered on the table. The painting in his hand was finally crumpled and thrown away by Shen Xingmian.

Just after a pause, Cheng Shu knocked on the door again, and Shen Xingmian pushed the door irritably, "Are you annoying? Don't bother me!"

After losing his temper, Shen Xingmian immediately became annoyed, he was in a bad mood, and Cheng Shu didn't provoke him, so what's the matter if he got angry at others.

"I'm not rushing at you. I'm a little annoyed now. If you're fine, don't bother me."

"It's already nine o'clock, even if you draw pictures, you still have to eat, right?"

Shen Xingmian rubbed her face, "I have no appetite."

"Isn't it the stars, come out and eat the noodles, I'll show you." Cheng Shu said, pulling him to the dining table and pushing a bowl of instant noodles in front of him.

Shen Xingmian lifted the lid and was immediately dumbfounded.As he grows up, he has never seen anyone who can make noodles into lump soup. He scooped up a spoonful of noodles and turned to ask Cheng Shu, "Do you usually crumble the noodles when you eat them?"

"I've never eaten instant noodles." Cheng Shu also frowned, "Isn't that what you eat?"

"Hey, forget it, it's all the same."

Life is not easy, Mianmian sighs.Shen Xingmian just finished eating the noodles, his empty stomach was finally filled, and he felt satisfied.

As soon as he put down the bowl, Cheng Shu skillfully picked it up and went to the sink to wash it. When he came out, he dried his hands and told Shen Xingmian to take the money, put on his clothes and go out with him.

With Cheng Shu's face full of mystery, Shen Xingmian changed clothes and went out with him dubiously, a little curious about what good ideas Cheng Shu could give him.

When the two got off the subway and stood at the intersection of Bar Street, Shen Xingmian just wanted to push Cheng Shu to the ground and beat him up, he resisted the urge to curse and pointed to the sign above his head, "Take me here to see the stars? "

"That's right, don't you think the lights on the other side of the dance floor look like stars? Come here to stimulate inspiration... hey, Shen Xingmian, why are you leaving?"

Shen Xingmian secretly scolded himself for being so ill that he went to the doctor in such a hurry that he could even believe Cheng Shu's nonsense. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to look at dozens of starry sky maps if he had the time?

"Shen Xingmian, wait a minute, I was just joking."

Cheng Shu quickly chased after him, stopped Shen Xingmian and swore that he was just joking, then pointed to the street behind, "Actually, that's where I want to take you."

"I'll just trust you again, if you trick me again, you can sleep in the park tonight!" Shen Xingmian spoke harshly, looking a bit fierce.

In Cheng Shu's eyes, Shen Xingmian's current state is a bit like the few days that girls have every month, like a powder keg, it will explode at any moment.

Cheng Shu took him for a while, stopped at a firecracker store, and led him in to buy some fireworks. When paying the bill, he pushed Shen Xingmian forward, "Pay."

After paying the bill in a daze, Shen Xingmian came out of the shop with fireworks in his hands, and he asked, "What are you buying this for?"

"Take you to see the stars."

Shen Xingmian was getting more and more confused about what he wanted to do, and followed him to a remote park. There was only a dim street light on the small road, and the road was difficult to walk. He dragged Cheng Shu's clothes away.

Cheng Shu chose a relatively flat place, dumped all the fireworks that Shen Xingmian bought on the ground, lit two fairy sticks, handed them to Shen Xingmian, and asked with a smile, "Does it look good?"

Shen Xingmian was so angry that she wanted to throw the fireworks on Cheng Shu's face, Cheng Shu seemed to have sensed his intention, grabbed his arm, leaned closer to him and said, "Don't be angry, just stare at it for a while. "

Shen Xingmian was not in the mood, but his eyes still fell on the burning fireworks as promised. The metallic sparks were fleeting, and soon there was only an empty rod left, and then the surroundings became dark again.

"Shen Xingmian, in fact, these fireworks are quite like stars. The darkness is like the night sky above your head. No matter how hard the stars try to shine, they will not illuminate this darkness. That's why I say that stars are weak lights that can't illuminate anything. , can only illuminate itself."

Cheng Shu's voice was as gentle as water in the night, and slowly penetrated into Shen Xingmian's restless heart, dispelling the anxiety.

"But because of this, people can see them at a glance in the dark." Cheng Shu lit a firework again and handed it to him, and the firelight illuminated his face, "Shen Xingmian, why do you always only see them?" Light from other places, but never see yourself?"

Shen Xingmian suddenly became enlightened, and threw himself into Cheng Shu's arms excitedly, "Thank you! You have helped me a lot!"
