clock trap

After the black raven in his mind circled thirteen times in the dark cloud-covered sky, Yu Sen's consciousness suddenly returned to reality in a burst of intense thrust.

The crisp and ethereal birdsong gradually became clear in his ears, Yu Sen frowned and pinched the bridge of his nose, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you here?"

"My car has been parked for 2 minutes! I have been calling you and there is no response. What's the matter?"

Si Nan leaned over and touched Yu Sen's forehead with the back of his hand. It wasn't hot, but cold sweat covered his hands.

"Sweat so much with the air conditioner on? Have a nightmare?"

Si Nan squinted at the unattractive face of the co-pilot with a look of gloating: "You still have today, brother Yu... eh! Eh eh... don't Don't do it! I was wrong!"

Yu Sen tightened his elbows around his friend's neck, narrowed his phoenix eyes, and smiled evilly and flamboyantly, rubbing the sweat from his forehead on Si Nan's clothes.

"Do you still know it's wrong? Tell you, it's too late!"

"Hey, stop, stop..." Si Nan patted the arm around his neck, "I'm on WeChat! WeChat is ringing!"

After finally breaking free, Si Nan muttered, "Why are you still so strong?" while taking out his phone to reply to WeChat.

Yu Sen ignored him, took out a tissue, wiped the sweat off his face, and opened the car door to get out.

This is a half-mountain villa of Si Nan's family. It is far away from other residents of the same developer. It has excellent privacy and is surrounded by mountains and rivers. There is a wetland park at the foot of the mountain, and there are many green plants in the courtyard. Even in summer, The air is not as stuffy as in the city.

But for some reason, ever since he boarded the plane back home in Bangkok, his heart has been up and down, restless, and he had several strange dreams in a row.

It hasn't calmed down until now.

Si Nan finished replying to WeChat, stepped out of the driver's seat, threw the key to Yu Sen, walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk.

"Go and open the door first, I'll move the wall clock in."

Yu Sen moved his neck twice, and shook the key: "What are you doing with that thing? It's as heavy as a pile of bricks. Isn't it going to be delivered to your grandma's house the day after tomorrow?"

"My younger brother will come to see me later, and we will take my car the day after tomorrow to go together. Let him open his eyes first."

"Oh..." Yu Sen dragged out his voice, looked at the blazing sun in the sky, and before Si Nan reacted and called him for help, he decisively walked away, opened the door and entered the house, shielding the pain behind him. Haha complaining.

Probably because Si Nan had notified in advance that he would be home today, the house was cleaned up in advance by the housekeeping aunt, and the central air conditioner was still running.

Taking a box of pure milk from the refrigerator, Yu Sen threw himself on the sofa, carefully recalling the strange dreams he had along the way.

But no matter how hard he racked his brains, the dream images were always fleeting, and he only felt that the atmosphere was dim, and the sky seemed to be sinking.

After a while, Si Nan came in cursing with a big box in his arms.

"I don't have a conscience, brother, are you just using it to trick me? My hand is about to break..."

Yu Sen sank into the sofa, the milk box sucking loudly, and glanced at Si Nan: "Let's go over this idea, Si Si, look, you bought this clock in Bangkok, and you bought it for a It was given to your grandma as a birthday gift, and it’s your brother who wants to see it, and you decided to move out, so what did I cheat on you?”

"I bought it because you suggested it to me!" Si Nan glared, "Also, don't call me Si Si anymore, that's a bitch!"

Yu Sen was kind and generous: "Okay, Nan Nan, let me intervene again, you forced me to suggest you to buy it."

"..."

"When will your brother arrive? What's his name?"

"Si Xuanyang, when he sent me a WeChat message, he said that there are still 10 minutes left, so it should... be here by now!"

The sound of the off-road vehicle turning off came from outside the house.

Si Nan got up to pick it up, Yu Sen stared at the ceiling in a daze, without blinking, threw the milk carton in his hand into the trash can six meters away, and then turned over lazily, face to face. Outside.

My first reaction when I saw someone coming was - the genes of Si Nan's family are quite good.

It was as if the sun outside the house came down to this room with light at this minute. As the name suggests, it was as bright as the sun, full of vigor, and the soft and long eyelashes reflected an itchy shadow under the eyes, and there was a trace of silk between the eyebrows The impatience and innocence unique to young people who are new to society seem to be two extremes with him.

And Si Xuanyang was also stunned for two seconds when he saw Yu Sen.

The man was lying sideways on the sofa, with the tips of his jet-black hair resting softly on his fair, bare shoulders and neck. His eyes, which were blown by the breeze, looked dim and vague. There was no embarrassment in looking at strangers, nor Any self-awareness as a 'guest' hangs on him like a hook, provocative, frivolous, and fearless.

Obviously the dress is not bright, but it gives people the illusion of thick and colorful.

After staring at each other for a few seconds, the corners of their mouths suddenly curled into an arc that Si Xuanyang couldn't understand.

But even though he couldn't understand it, he didn't think the smile had any good intentions.

Si Xuanyang was a little annoyed by the yin and yang expression in his heart, he snorted coldly, looked away, pointed to the big box on the ground and asked Si Nan: "That's it?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes..." Si Nan didn't notice the sudden turbulence between the two of them these few seconds, and before opening the box, he pulled Si Xuanyang two steps forward with enthusiasm.

"This is my younger brother, Si Xuanyang. Xuanyang is my best friend. His name is Yu Sen. I remember I mentioned it to you before."

"Hmm..." Si Xuanyang responded indifferently, and turned his attention back to the cardboard box on the ground.

The suitcase was huge, and he couldn't imagine that someone would be so patient to bring it back after a trip.

As Si Nan opened the box, layers of anti-shock foam were taken out, and the black velvet wrapping was lifted, revealing the contents inside.

Yu Sen sat up on the sofa. Even though he had already seen it, he would still be amazed by the beauty and thickness of the wall clock when he saw it again.

It is probably an old antique from the 70s and [-]s. The whole has a sense of quaint history. The heavy hammer, mechanical needle, brass, gold leaf, and shaft-connected gear discs are assembled together, and the inlays are tightly inlaid. The tentacles are cool, and the halo flows. You can even feel the picture of time flowing slowly from the clock face like water.

It's like there is a strange soul in the clock, it will absorb people's consciousness after watching it for a long time.

"It looks good, your brother and I have eyesight, don't you?"

Seeing Si Xuanyang staring at the wall clock in a daze, the complacency on Si Nan's face was almost dripping down, Yu Sen turned his face away without looking.

"It's pretty..." Si Xuanyang glanced at his complacent brother, and the expression on his face was hard to describe.

"You bought this at a second-hand market in Thailand?"

"What second-hand market is it? It's a retro market!" Si Nan yelled.

"It's all the same," Si Xuanyang pressed his fingers to his temples irritably, and sighed.

"So the gift you gave grandma for her [-]th birthday was a clock? A clock? Or a second-hand one?"

Yu Sen was stunned for a moment, he and Si Nan didn't expect this at the time, they only cared about their looks.

Si Nan didn't react yet, he was confused: "This is beautiful, can't it?"

"...you are really sick."

"Ha Si Xuanyang is too much! My friend is still here, don't insult me ​​so blatantly."

"...You have a brain hole."

"..."

----------------

After arguing for a long time, there was still no result. Si Nanfei felt that the gift was okay and that the saying that the homonym was unlucky was just superstition, so Yu Sen naturally didn't bother to say anything.

It's just that while staying overnight that night, Si Xuanyang took advantage of Si Nan's inattention and came to 'instigate rebellion'.

Yu Sen was pulled by the arm, and followed him to the back garden without any struggle.

Si Xuanyang shook his hand away gently, and frowned impatiently: "You told my brother not to give that thing the day after tomorrow, it's unlucky, and then my aunt and the others will scream again, which is really annoying. "

Yu Sen narrowed his eyes with interest: "Why did you let me go?"

Si Xuanyang glanced at him: "Don't think I can't see that my brother listens to you in everything."

"Hey, that's strange. Why do you think Si Si listens to me in everything?"

Yu Sen was lazily leaning against the beams and pillars, but seeing Si Xuanyang first rolled his eyes in disgust when he heard the name 'Si Si', and then suddenly froze when he thought of something, with amber-like eyes He stared at Yu Sen's face for nearly half a minute.

Si Xuanyang's eyes moved from his slightly cold eyebrows to his shoulder-length black hair, his expression became more and more strange, and there was a trace of shock when he looked closely, and there was even a hint of sudden realization in the shock, which was extremely complicated.

Then he looked away in embarrassment, without saying a word, and went back to the house with his hands and feet stiff.

Yu Sen raised his eyelids to see his series of reactions, scratched his head, and made a series of connections in his mind, from which a dumbfounding conclusion was formed.

He smelled the gardenia fragrance in the courtyard and laughed happily.

——Are you thinking of this "Mr. Unhappy" as Si Nan's boyfriend?

After thinking about the impact that Si Nan made on Si's family banquet two years ago and coming out in a high-profile manner to Si Xuanyang, who was still in college at the time, and thinking about the changing expression just now, Yu Sen felt that he It is very likely that Si Xuanyang has already regarded Si Nan as his 'concubine'.

What a magical reality...

In order to relieve his friend's worries and let Si Xuanyang accept the fact that his brother is gay as soon as possible, and to satisfy the evil taste in his heart, Yu Sen didn't mind whether his image was a concubine or an adulterer, and when passing by Si Xuanyang's bedroom At the door, he asked "seemingly casually" how the sound insulation effect of the room was.

Then Si Xuanyang replied politely with a half smile: very good.

Yu Sen pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, and helped Si Xuanyang close the door, but he couldn't hide the wicked smile at the corner of his mouth.

He entered Si Nan's room openly, lifted his friend of eight years from the bed and threw him on the floor, ignoring his pitiful eyes, and calmly occupied the magpie's nest and went to sleep, ready to mend the spirit that was haunted by nightmares in the afternoon .

Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a heavy bell.
