eyes outside the box

It's been a long time since I woke up, but I don't want to move.

The sunshine of early autumn shines into the room through the slightly opened curtains, as if you can see the dust jumping in the sunlight.

Yang Bowen looked at the man hugging him quietly, feeling a kind of peace and tranquility in his heart that he had never felt before.

He still remembered that when he saw a man for the first time a year ago, through the glass window, the man in a suit was seriously holding a black pen. Big notebook, concentrating on something.

At that time, Yang Bowen thought, this person is really good-looking, his eyes, eyebrows, nose and lips all have an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

After returning to the orphanage, Yang Bowen became more silent than before, and from time to time he would think of that capable and serious man.

One day, when he saw a man in the pavilion outside the classroom, Yang Bowen stood outside the classroom, reluctant to move away.It wasn't until someone called his name that the man suddenly turned his gaze to himself, and Yang Bowen returned to the classroom in a panic.

When the man took him away, Yang Bowen still couldn't believe it.

He silently followed the man's steps, from the orphanage to his current home, from the living room on the first floor to the bedroom on the second floor.

The man served him bowl after bowl of rice and took away his book. He suspected that the person he met was not the same person as the one he saw a year ago.

But in the end, Yang Bowen felt that he knew this person, this person.

When Duan Jiuze opened his eyes, he felt the boy in his arms flinch.He stared at the boy closely, as if he was serious when meeting him for the first time.

Lifting the quilt, Duan Jiuze sat up, took away the boy's hand holding his pajamas, put on his shoes indifferently, and prepared to go back to his room.

Yang Bowen, who was wearing ill-fitting pajamas, also sat up.It was just his own clothes, only the one he wore yesterday, and there was nothing to change. After thinking for a long time, Yang Bowen still found the book in a daze, hugged the book, and sat on the bed in a daze.

After leaving Yang Bowen's room, Duan Jiuze went back to his bedroom, changed his clothes in a few moments, took out his notebook again, opened the blank page, and scrubbed it for a long time, wondering if he should record what happened last night.

Yang Bowen was sleeping next to him, and he didn't have any dreams until he woke up. This situation is something Duan Jiuze has never encountered in his life for so many years - including the previous two worlds.This is also why Duan Jiuze's spirit has been tense and he can hardly get a rest.

After a long time, Duan Jiuze still put away his notebook—perhaps, it was just a coincidence.What's more, Yang Bowen's name was originally highlighted in the notebook.

When Duan Jiuze went downstairs, he was surprised to see Wang Qin and Duan Zhongming in the living room on the first floor.He raised his eyebrows, walked to one of the sofas with a calm expression, and asked Mrs. Zhang to cook some glutinous rice balls. While sitting on the sofa, he picked up the newspaper of the day and read it carefully.

"Xiao Ze, what about the child?" Wang Qin took a sip of tea, although she was talking to Duan Jiuze, her voice was slightly cold.

Duan Jiuze glanced upstairs, but did not speak.

Wang Qin turned towards Duan Jiuze, fell silent for a while, put the cup in her hand on the table, and when she spoke again, there was a little worry in her words: "Xiao Ze, you are a young man, and my mother never cared about you. But □□this is not simply to dress him and eat. I think that child is not too young. Now that you have adopted him, you should do your best. Sign up. You brought him back yesterday. I think that kid is also a good kid, but he is too shy. Maybe let him have more contact with his peers at school, and his personality will be more cheerful. Or, what other plans do you have, tell your mother It's okay to say."

Duan Jiuze shook his head indifferently: "He doesn't need it."

Who knows how many years I can stay in this world?Maybe if I find Yang Bowen this year, I will live in another world next year.Besides, even if this world lived for a long time, it would not be a problem for Duan Jiuze to raise a child.The most important thing is that Yang Bowen's temperament is afraid that he will not be able to live in a normal school.

When he was in the orphanage, Duan Jiuze discovered that he was out of place.When I brought someone to the house, I didn't say a word, at most it was "um".In order to make him speak, I forced him to eat so many bowls of rice, but he didn't say a word.Duan Jiuze couldn't imagine how such a Yang Bowen would live in a normal school.

Wang Qin didn't know what Duan Jiuze was thinking. This morning, she saw that Duan Jiuze was not sleeping in her room, and Yang Bowen's room was closed all the time. Later, Duan Jiuze came out of Yang Bowen's room... Wanting to make people less It's hard to think about.Wang Qin didn't have a detailed understanding of Duan Jiuze's circle of young people, but he had heard some things about the mutual contacts between the good friends.Wang Qin didn't want Duan Jiuze to adopt this child with other ideas.

Duan Zhongming also listened to the conversation between the mother and the son, and frowned and loosened his brows. He looked at Duan Jiuze and said earnestly: "Xiaoze, do you still blame me and your mother for what happened back then? I..."

Duan Zhongming seemed to have been talking for a long time, because when Duan Jiuze raised his eyes, he saw Mrs. Zhang walking towards here with glutinous rice balls.

Duan Jiuze stood up, took the glutinous rice balls from Aunt Zhang, nodded slightly to Wang Qin and Duan Zhongming, and went upstairs.

As for Duan Zhongming's words, Duan Jiuze didn't listen carefully.Especially those so-called things of the past, they are not interested at all.It was Wang Qin who asked Yang Bowen to go to school. Although Duan Jiuze disagreed, Yang Bowen really needed to be a little more normal, at least he had to be able to take the initiative to express his needs.

"Didn't take a shower?"

Duan Jiuze walked into the room and saw Yang Bowen was still sitting on the bed, holding the book in both hands, looking at the scenery outside the window, and didn't even pay attention to what he said.

"Look."

Duan Jiuze replied casually, "What are you looking at?"

After finishing speaking, Duan Jiuze realized that this was the first time Yang Bowen had spoken to him.

Duan Jiuze put the glutinous rice balls aside, walked in front of Yang Bowen, but did not block his gaze, just sat beside Yang Bowen, watching everything outside the window seriously like him.It's just a pity that Duan Jiuze didn't find anything worth noting.

"Look." The young man's voice seemed a bit jerky because he didn't speak often, but Duan Jiuze could hear that when Yang Bowen said this word, he tried his best to speak it correctly.

Duan Jiuze glanced out the window coldly again, then turned his head, and said to Yang Bowen, "Wash and eat."

"Look!"

Yang Bowen stretched out a hand and grabbed Duan Jiuze's arm vigorously. When he repeated the word "look", he was more excited than the previous two times, and even his breathing became short of breath.The hand holding Duan Jiuze's arm also turned pale because of excessive force.

Duan Jiuze frowned, thinking of the purpose of his persistent desire to find Yang Bowen, he asked patiently, "What are you looking at?"

But this time, Yang Bowen didn't answer, but his complexion was very bad, and his shortness of breath made people unbearably worried.

Duan Jiuze took a deep look at Yang Bowen, then turned his head and looked out the window. After looking for a while, he still didn't find anything.

But Yang Bowen grabbed himself so excitedly, and even took the initiative to speak for the first time, it was impossible to just let Duan Jiuze see the scenery outside the window. It can only be said that what Yang Bowen can see is what he cannot see.

Thinking of this, Duan Jiuze simply got up, stood in front of Yang Bowen, and blocked everything from Yang Bowen's seeing - although he didn't understand what Yang Bowen saw.

When Duan Jiuze blocked Yang Bowen's sight, Yang Bowen strongly resisted.

Yang Bowen kept patting Duan Jiuze with his hands, and even threw away the collection of Gibran's essays that he had been holding in his hand.

"Look!—look!—look!—"

This was the first time Duan Jiuze encountered Yang Bowen's state. At the moment when Yang Bowen resisted with hiss, Duan Jiuze subconsciously pressed Yang Bowen's head to his heart.

Duan Jiuze is not a person who is good at words, all he can do at the moment is hug Yang Bowen and suppress Yang Bowen's resistance.

Yang Bowen struggled for a while, and finally, perhaps because of exhaustion, he finally became quiet again.

Outside, Wang Qin couldn't help knocking on the door, and kept asking Duan Jiuze: "Xiao Ze! Xiao Ze! What's wrong? What happened to that child? Answer me, what happened? What happened to you?..."

After Duan Jiuze suppressed Yang Bowen, he shouted towards the door, "Come in."

After getting Duan Jiuze's permission, Wang Qin entered the room and saw Duan Jiuze holding the exhausted Yang Bowen seriously. Yang Bowen was still wearing Duan Jiuze's pajamas.

"This is... what's wrong? What's wrong with this child?"

Duan Jiuze couldn't explain what happened, because he didn't know what was going on, so he could only ask Wang Qin to close the curtains, cover the windows, and everything outside the windows.

Duan Jiuze didn't want Wang Qin to be worried, but he didn't know how to explain it. He could only let Wang Qin go out temporarily because Yang Bowen needed a rest, and he would explain later.

Wang Qin walked towards the door worriedly, seeing that the postures of Duan Jiuze and Yang Bowen did not move at all, she had a new understanding of the relationship between the two in her heart - at least she thought that Duan Jiuze was only for herself, and the idea of ​​imprisoning people at home, It was denied by Wang Qin himself.It's just that the specific situation has to be explained by Duan Jiuze himself.

The moment the door closed, Duan Jiuze slowly let go of Yang Bowen. He bent down slightly and held Yang Bowen's face so that he and Yang Bowen's eyes could be at the same level.

"Sleep first. Wake up and buy clothes."

Yang Bowen lowered his eyebrows and did not speak.

Duan Jiuze frowned, regretting that he didn't understand the situation with the teachers of the orphanage when he brought Yang Bowen back.

At least, figure out what Yang Bowen "sees".

Duan Jiuze didn't force Yang Bowen to explain at this moment, but just pulled the quilt away, helped Yang Bowen lie down slowly, and then covered him with the quilt.

When turning around to leave, Duan Jiuze felt that Yang Bowen was pulling his trouser legs again.

The young man opened his eyes, looking straight at Duan Jiuze who turned his head to look at him, his eyes were clear, like a clear spring.
