Age Of The Sirens

Mercury's hoarse murmur was like a heavy hammer falling from the sky, knocking Tang Yi's drowsy head awake suddenly.

It was as if his body had been suddenly immobilized, and the heat that had burned on his skin just now quickly condensed into ice and soaked into his lungs.His eyes widened slightly, and for a moment he couldn't grasp any thoughts in his mind.

【What am I doing...】

Mercury was still fondly rubbing against him, the two of them were so close, but Tang Yi had never been so cold.He pushed Quicksilver away violently, and there was a sharp cracking pain somewhere.Quicksilver was pushed to the ground by him, and looked at him in confusion.

Tang Yi looked down at his almost naked body, and there were traces of passion left on his body.He can't believe what he's done...

Tang Yi began to put on his trousers and button his shirt awkwardly, but the quicksilver tore his shirt apart abruptly in the passion just now, and many buttons collapsed to nowhere.He turned off the water in the shower in a panic, and stood up while leaning on the wall.A strange pain climbed up his spine, making his legs go limp, and he almost sat back on the ground again.

He is not a person who can't bear pain, but this strange, sensitive, and detailed pain makes his heart feel as if it has been twisted, and he is ashamed and inexplicably sad.

Shuiyin didn't understand why the lover who was still in love with him just now was so indifferent to him, and stretched out a hand to grab Tang Yi's trousers, "Tang Ya..."

"Don't call me that!" Tang Yi yelled unbearably, opened the door and escaped.

He panicked and ran around like a headless chicken.He slammed into the door of the warehouse. It was pitch black inside, and all the goods had been packed, lying quietly in his corner.Tang Yi closed the door and did not turn on the light on his watch, allowing the darkness to swallow him completely.The originally terrifying darkness of nothingness is now the only place where he can hide.He stood by the door blankly for a moment, then slowly slid down and sat down on the floor.

Facing the empty darkness, he opened his eyes vigorously.However, something still overflowed from the eye sockets, hot and wet, and slid down the curvature of the cheeks.Tang Yi wiped it dry vigorously with the back of his hand, but a new one slipped out. He wiped it again and again, but it couldn't be wiped clean, but his face was flushed red.Tang Yi growled angrily, and beat the ground with his hands until it hurt.He wanted to yell loudly, but he was afraid of being heard, afraid of being seen in such a shameful manner.

He took a deep breath and said to himself over and over again, "It's okay, it's okay... calm down... calm down...".Everyone just got drunk and did some ridiculous things.Maybe after that, Mercury won't remember it at all, and no one else will see it, so just pretend nothing happened.He's not an innocent little virgin either, he just treated it as a playful high once, it's nothing at all.

But why do you feel so uncomfortable?

The words that Mercury murmured played back in his mind over and over again like a spell, and he even wondered if the voice really existed.

"Tang Ya, I miss you so much...don't leave me again..."

Tang Yi bit his thumb hard with his teeth, and he didn't feel it until the blood came out of the bite.

After about half an hour, he felt calmer, and staggered back to the bathroom just now, and saw that Mercury had already fallen asleep on the ground.Enduring the pain, he dragged Mercury back to the dormitory, ripped off his wet clothes, casually threw a blanket on the unconscious sea monster, and took off his shirt to get under the quilt on the upper bunk.Later, other team members came back one after another, and he also heard Lin Maochen whispering to Tan Mingyuan, "Ah, why did they both fall asleep so quickly?" Tsuruta Tsuruka asked what happened to Shuiyin and Tang Yi If nothing happened, Luo Wei told Hetian about the wine fight.

"What?! Why did you let the mercury drink so much?" Tsuruta's voice was obviously startled, and Tang Yi could almost feel his eyes drifting to his bunk.

Tan Mingyuan said regretfully beside him, "It seems that I really drank too much this time and fell asleep right away. He Tian, ​​do you still remember that Mercury was drunk when she just joined the team? Tang Ya couldn't help it for two days Do physical training..."

Hearing Tang Ya's name suddenly, Tang Yi felt as if he had been kicked in the stomach again.He pretended to be asleep and turned over, covering his head with the quilt.

However, Tang Yi fell ill the next day.

Mercury woke up earlier than Tang Yi, with waves of headaches as if someone hit his skull with a hammer.He propped his forehead and sat up with a groan, but suddenly found that he was naked, without any clothes... Shuiyin looked around, Hetian, Lin Maochen, Lanhuang and Ashes had all gone to wash up, the doctor was still sleeping, Luo Wei was putting on his shirt, Zi Xi was sitting on the bed rubbing his eyes, and Peacock was looking at him with a half-smile on the opposite bed.

"It was intense last night." Peacock's eyes fell on the red mark near Mercury's collarbone.

Mercury frowned, and heard Tang Yi's long breathing on the upper bunk.He tried his best to recall, but he couldn't remember what happened after drinking the last shot yesterday.

He rummaged through the salute under the bed to find a suit of clothes and quickly put them on, stood up and felt it.Except for the dull pain in the head, there is no discomfort in the body.

Luo Wei looked at the upper bunk of Mercury, and frowned, "Why hasn't Brother Tang woke up?"

Shuiyin also felt a little strange, so she stepped on her own bed and walked to Tang Yi's bedside.Tang Yi huddled under the quilt, curled up into a ball and fell asleep facing the wall, like a scared child.

"Tang Ya?" Shuiyin called, but Tang Yi didn't respond.So he stretched out his hand and pushed Tang Yi, but the latter still didn't respond.

Strangely, Tang Yi has always been three-point alert when sleeping, so he can't wake up like this.

Mercury then pulled Tang Yi's shoulders hard to turn him around, but suddenly noticed something was wrong.Tang Yi's face was very red, and his breathing was heavy and hot.Mercury reached out and touched his forehead, it was terribly hot.

Quicksilver turned around and grabbed Linpu Tan Mingyuan's collar, and picked him up in a daze. The latter was still sleepy, and before he even had time to put on his glasses, he heard the figure like the white-haired girl rushing towards him. He roared, "Tang Ya has a fever!"

When Luo Weiyi heard this, he hurried over to check Tang Yi's condition, reached out and touched the scorching temperature on his skin, and his face changed slightly.

"What's going on? It was fine last night!"

Tan Mingyuan was almost dragged out of bed by Mercury, looking for his medicine box everywhere while wearing glasses.

However, Tang Yi, who was in a coma, couldn't feel this at all.He floated up and down in the dream, as if he had returned to his infancy, abandoned on a reef that would be swallowed by the tide at any time.Surrounded by black sea water, the clouds billowed in the distant sky, and a bright silver moon was faintly visible.

The silver moonlight was so beautiful, with a fragrance of the deep sea, but it was so untouchable.

"Xiaoyi...does the apple tree bear fruit?" Turning his head, he saw his brother smiling at him, with a bit of sadness in his smile.Just like the smile my brother showed to him the night before they parted for the last time.

"Brother..." Seeing Tang Ya at this moment, for some reason, he was a little scared and a little guilty.

Tang Ya didn't blame him, she stretched out a hand with a big red apple in it.

Tang Yi took the fruit and took a bite, then raised his head, but the one standing in front of him was Mercury.Mercury smiled happily, and said to him, "Eat the apple, and you will become Tang Ya."

Tang Yi's body shook violently, and his eyelids rolled quickly.Tan Mingyuan, who was taking his temperature, yawned, and lazily said to Shuiyin and Luo Wei, who were staring at Tang Yi closely, "It's just a nightmare, don't be nervous."

Luo Wei grabbed Quicksilver by the collar, "What did you do to him yesterday!"

Mercury patted Cai Luowei's hand coldly, but did not answer.But his mind was spinning rapidly, no matter how hard he tried to clear away the fog of last night, he couldn't get to the point.

"You all go out." Tan Mingyuan ordered suddenly, his eyes glanced at Luo Wei and Shuiyin, "including you two."

Zixi pulled Luo Wei out who was worried and unwilling to leave, and when Peacock passed by Quicksilver, he clicked his tongue twice and whispered in the ear of the silver-haired siren, "I didn't expect you to be so rude and make people like this , I don’t know how to help clean it up.” Then he went out.

Mercury froze in place as if struck by lightning.

Is it...

"Why are you still in a daze, get out!" Tan Mingyuan said seriously, "I want to check if there is any wound infection on his body."

Quicksilver left the dormitory with vain footsteps and leaned against the door.His mind was in a mess, and the pain was getting worse.He pressed his temples hard, and suddenly, several fragments flashed back to his mind.

Tang Yi's blurred eyes, slightly parted lips in the moist water vapor, wheat-colored round shoulders, slender and straight legs...

Panting eagerly, crying uncontrollably...

"Don't call me that!" An angry yet sad shout suddenly echoed clearly in his mind.

Mercury Breath missed a beat, giving him the illusion of suffocation.He grabbed his hair hard, but he couldn't suppress the increasingly severe headache.

How could this be...how could this be...

About half an hour later, Tan Mingyuan opened the door and came out. He was startled when he saw Mercury's dejected face, "Aren't you sick too?"

Quicksilver asked, "How is he?"

Tan Mingyuan showed a usual harmless smile to humans and animals, "It seems that you two were too intense last night. I think his pants are still a little wet. He probably got a little water from somewhere and got cold. The wound on his body has not healed yet, and his resistance has decreased, causing the laceration there to be a little infected. I have given him medicine and anti-fever injections, and he will be fine after two days of bed rest. Don't worry."

Tan Mingyuan patted Mercury on the shoulder, and took the dental cup and towel to wash up.

Mercury stood outside the door for a while before entering the dormitory with a complicated mood.Tang Yi's wet trousers had been thrown aside by the doctor, and there were one or two spots of blood on them.

Mercury felt as if someone had punched his stomach, and his whole body was pulled up.

When Tang Yi woke up from the deep darkness, his throat hurt like he was about to catch fire.He groaned and turned over to get up, but was held down by a hand.

Quicksilver pressed his hand back into the quilt, and tucked the corner of the quilt smoothly, "Whatever you want, I'll get it for you."

"……water……"

A large glass of moderately warm water was quickly handed to him.Tang Yi gulped down his drink, accidentally choked, and coughed until tears came out.Quicksilver brought the cup over, and patted Tang Yi on the back to help him relax.Tang Yi shrank back a bit, avoiding the touch of mercury.

The last thing he wanted to see right now was mercury.

Quicksilver's hand froze in the air for two seconds, then retracted it naturally.He said, "You have a fever, take a good rest here today. I'll bring you breakfast later."

Tang Yi lay back on the bed quietly, and suddenly laughed twice.The hoarse voice startled him.

"Since I met you, I've been sick every three days, as if I'm about to die. Why am I so unlucky?"

Mercury was silent, not knowing what to say.

"Please get out." After Tang Yi said this, he turned over and continued to sleep.Mercury lowered his head, poured another cup of warm water, put it on the small table closest to Tang Yi's bed, and then gently left the bedroom.

Hearing the sound of the door closing carefully, Tang Yi began to put his bruised thumb between his teeth again, biting it carefully.He had never hated himself so much.

He didn't understand why he was so stupid, why he couldn't resist the siren's gentleness, why he was so easily bewitched...

Why do you approach him shamelessly like an idiot when you know that the love of your life has already been given to someone else, and you still want to stay in the Kraken team even if you are begging for nothing... What happened last night, if it wasn't for Mercury calling Tang Ya at the end... If he wakes up the dazed man by calling his name, I'm afraid he will even feel very happy...

idiot!idiot!idiot!

He always wanted to get rid of Tang Ya's influence, and always wanted to prove that he was a completely different and independent person, but after going around and around, he still couldn't escape the same fate after all.

He is just a shadow.
