Boyfriend came back from infinite flow

Ji Xiao and I spent a very long night.

It was early eight o'clock when I came back from the kitchen.At 08:30, I thought to myself, according to Ji Xiao's algorithm, Amor should have "appeared".But maybe because the "meeting place" with him was on the deck, the door was quiet and no one came.

Instead, the two glasses of wine on the table changed.

The goblet is still in its original place, but the wine inside has disappeared, and the part of the bottle remains.

Ji Xiao's eyes fell on the door, as if hesitating whether to go out at night.It was I who saw the movement of the wine bottle and reminded him.

Ji Xiao said softly "Hey", walked to the table, studied the wine bottle for a while, then turned to me and asked, "Did the wine I poured back go back?"

He also put his finger on the mouth of the bottle to gesture.

I observed for a while and told him, "It seems to be."

Then, for the past 15 minutes, the bottle disappeared under our noses.

When this scene happened, I was sitting on the bed with Ji Xiao.He yawned lazily and leaned his back against my chest.I turned my head so I could kiss him.

Ji Xiao muttered: "This is convenient, you don't have to go out."

He was glad at first.But at the back, he still rubbed his face, got up, and said, "Wake up—husband, let's go out and have a look."

I was actually reluctant, but I was dragged to the deck by him anyway.

On the way, my heart was full of resentment, and I thought: Didn’t I say I was going to sleep?

Still Ji Xiao is in front and I am behind.

I took some time to adjust my mentality, and turned my attention to Ji Xiao.

After the previous "show of strength", although Ji Xiao is still very nervous, his temperament has also changed.

My worry about me has changed from "what should I do if my husband can't do anything?" to "I want to fight side by side with my husband, but I know better and I have to guide him well."

He was cautious all the way, and when he actually got to the deck, he saw a shadow standing on the side of the ship.

Ji Xiao took a deep breath and looked at me.

I nodded to him reassuringly, Ji Xiao smiled and could calmly call out: "Captain!"

The figure on the side of the ship turned around.

That is indeed the old captain Ji Xiao and I met during the day.The deck lights illuminated his face, and wrinkles accentuated the shadows on the captain's face.He was looking at the sea at first, but now seeing Ji Xiao and me, he smiled and greeted us: "Mr. Shao, Mr. Ji."

But the hale and hearty spirit of the day was gone.

Whether it is the look or the tone of the speech, there is a gray and defeated temperament.

Ji Xiao talks to the captain.

At the beginning of the topic, Ji Xiao said, we watched movies in the room for a long time, and felt that we should go out for a walk.The captain listened, and in that apologetic tone that we are familiar with, he said something like that he would definitely arrive at the shore tomorrow.

Ji Xiao listened, and slowly raised some other topics.There is comfort, saying that it doesn't matter, no one will meet such an accident.Talking about the boat again, talking about the seabirds and fish schools I saw during the day.A few words made the captain smile a little.

When speaking, Ji Xiao leaned against the ship's side, with slender legs, wide shoulders and narrow waist, calm and composed.

I watched this scene, more emotion.

When I met Ji Xiao for the first time, he was full of defense against me.It was obviously a stray cat that was soaked by rain and was in a panic, but it still wanted to show its teeth and claws at a person who was willing to take him home.

But now, he is completely different.

He is personable and can accompany me to various negotiating tables.We are a great working partner and I trust him as much as he trusts me.

I heard Ji Xiao say: "I used to come here every day, but when I read the news, I knew there are often typhoons here."

He slowly brought the topic to "disaster", and wanted to know if there was a dead crew member in the captain's mouth, and the identity of the other party.

Sure enough, the captain spoke.

There was a little oldness on his face, he tried his best to put on a smile, and mentioned a junior whom he was very optimistic about.

"I introduced my daughter to him! They're two wonderful children, I know. Roderick is already proposing, but..."

I said the name silently in my mind: Roderick.

Oh, it's tall.The tall, pale man.A few hours earlier he had informed us of the death of Lame Amor.Now, it was his turn to become the dead person in the mouth of others.

Ji Xiao: "But?"

The captain murmured, "We have encountered pirates."

After a while, Ji Xiao said, "I'm sorry."

The captain shook his head, and then, as if after falling into deep sorrow.No matter how much Ji Xiao asked him, he rarely answered.

So Ji Xiao turned to look at me and shrugged.

Then, he said to the captain in a tone mixed with guilt, regret..."We're going back first."

Hearing his attitude, it seemed that he wanted to leave the captain with a sad private space.

The captain replied gratefully.

I didn't say much, we were in the deck room with Ji Xiao, our room.

When closing the door this time, Ji Xiao seemed very relaxed.

After all, the next few visitors will come to knock on the door directly, so we don't need to go out to find it.

Throughout the night, the alarm would go off every hour or so.

Ji Xiao would always open his eyes at the first sound.He looked very energetic. If I hadn't heard the difference in the sound of his breathing before and after, I'd suspect that he wasn't asleep at all.

However, Ji Xiao seems to be very used to this kind of state of using fragmentary time to recharge his batteries.

I could only sigh and look at him. From eleven o'clock to 02:30 in the morning, three batches of "guests" were welcomed successively.

First it was number five, Klaathon.

When knocking on the door, No. [-] was very reluctant, and his whole body was full of unlucky discomfort.I bet even Ji Xiao never expected to see such a scene.

No. [-] hastily said something to Ji Xiao, "You must beware of the captain", and left in a hurry.Ji Xiao closed the door and looked at me, showing an unbelievable expression.

Although he is in good spirits, his slightly messy hair still reveals Ji Xiao's previous nap.Looking at it now, the tip of his hair is still slightly curled up, but Ji Xiao didn't notice this.

I thought to myself: This is so-cute.

If it wasn't for the special circumstances, I would very much like to rub Ji Xiao's face and make him mess up.

After returning to the bed, Ji Xiao took a deep breath, as if he was still thinking about the reaction on the fifth day.

He typed: Even if it's a cover-up, it's not without reason.Was he implying, could there be any clues to be found in this house?But I obviously checked before...

I brought up the old story again, turned to the sentence on the memo with the little devil emoji, and gave Ji Xiao a fierce expression.

Ji Xiao glanced at me, then looked away coldly.

I:"……"

I coughed and pointed to the line of words seriously.

Ji Xiao finally ignored me this time.He leaned over to kiss me, but still seemed very perfunctory, and said, "I love you, husband."

I sighed, put the phone aside, hugged Ji Xiao, and stuffed him under the quilt.Then hug him from behind and kiss his ears.

Ji Xiao patted my hand on his waist comfortingly, still thinking.

After a while, he sighed and muttered, "Forget it."

The kitten in my arms murmured.

I asked him, "What?"

Ji Xiao typed on her mobile phone: Never mind, who knows what I can find out.

It seems that although he is willing to face everything side by side with me, he still doesn't want to cross the "speed" that suddenly increases the risk factor.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous and bold decision, and Ji Xiao made such a judgment probably because...

Ji Xiao typed: He acted "frightened" twice, facing different directions.

I thought to myself: That's not true, the direction I was in was different the two times.

Ji Xiao typed: So, you can't let him sow discord.

I sighed, kissed his eyes, and simply said, "Go to sleep."

Ji Xiao put down the phone.

He still didn't sleep.After a while, he hesitated and called me in a low voice: "Husband?"

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

We look at each other.It was very dark in the room, only a little light came in through the cracks in the curtains.Outside, there are winds, waves, fish and birds, and monsters with evil intentions.But right now, Ji Xiao doesn't care about that at all.He came towards me slowly, and said in a soft voice, "Kiss again."

I laughed out loud and followed suit.

Kissing his eyes, you can feel a little trembling under the eyelids.He was so comfortable, if it wasn't for the special circumstances, he might have moaned and said some pleasant and entertaining words.

At the end of this simple kiss, Ji Xiao stuffed himself into my arms and said, "I knew it..."

As he said that, he closed his eyes and fell asleep immediately.

It must be said that at this moment, I have a very strong feeling that I am being "used up and thrown away".

I looked at him for a moment, seeing him being hugged by me so happily, and slowly, I also closed my eyes.

In the future, the wine bottles on the table are always changing.

When No. [-] appeared, the wine bottle that had disappeared had reappeared, unopened, standing securely on the table.

The next two crew members, the tall one, was the one who told us that Amor was dead, and Roderick, who was said to have died by the captain, appeared. Ji Xiao chatted with him about the proposal plan and came up with some ideas.After the tall man left, Ji Xiao went to look at the wine bottle again, nothing changed.

But when the clever ghost Benio, who is the last person in this "reincarnation", showed up and finished chanting to us, "Although Kela Song is sometimes annoying, it is really unexpected that he died like that." After that, Ji Xiao closed the door, studied the wine bottle for a long time, looked at the cork above, and said firmly: "This wine bottle——has been opened."

I said "oh", but still thought: Ji Xiao said "I know" before?what do you know?

Ji Xiao: "Baby, has the color of this wine changed a little? We just got it, it should be 'this' wine bottle."

I thought about it, and then asked, "What the hell do you 'know'?"

Ji Xiao looked at me blankly, seemingly not knowing what I was talking about.

The corners of my eyes twitched, but Ji Xiao suddenly realized, remembering what he muttered before he fell asleep.

He smiled and said, "I know it's you! How could I not recognize you."

This is about a love story.

My heart twitched, the original restlessness subsided, and I smiled at him.

Ji Xiao also laughed, looking cute and triumphant, as if saying: Look, how could we be so easily provoked by monsters.

It was past two o'clock in the morning, almost three o'clock, and he resumed drawing on the PAD, marking every crew member who appeared.

I could see that he was sorting the crew according to the changes in the bottles.

For example, circle the smart ghost and the fat and thin duo together, and then write the uppercase Chinese character "二".

Number five is in the same circle with the tall one, which is "one".

After that, he pinched the electronic pen, and the tip of the pen landed on the name of the lame Amor. After thinking for a moment, it became "three".

The captain is the last one, "四".

—At first, on the occasion of Five and Tall, the bottle was intact.

——Then, someone secretly opened the lid, maybe took a sip or two, and then poured other things into it, hoping to hide it from the sky.

This is the change in the wine bottle after the appearance of the witty ghost and the fat and thin duo.

——Next, someone opened the bottle of wine, drank it, but didn't finish it.

This is the occasion for Lame Amor.

——In the end, the wine was almost finished during the captain's appearance, so even the bottle disappeared.

After listing these, Ji Xiao still frowned.

I imagined all kinds of things he did on the boat: the knife in his waist, the wine bottle, the lunch plate...

It seems to be explained by the same logic.

Kitchen knives are long-lasting living tools, so they will not disappear.The same is true for wine glasses and dinner plates.But everything else, whether it's chips, a steak, or a wine bottle, is something that gets eaten and thrown away.

I looked at Ji Xiao and thought: There is this chain of logic, can Ji Xiao deduce from it the way to end all this and let us leave this ship?

I do not know.

After that, the alarm went off again, it was 03:30 in the morning.

We meet Carpio and Duterte for the third time.

Ji Xiao still used the way of talking to the captain, insinuating, wanting to know who the "dead man" quota here belongs to.To be honest, so far, the only one who can be regarded as "vacant" is Benio the Smart.However, Ji Xiao spent all his time talking, but he didn't hear the news of anyone's death from these two people.

Ji Xiao seemed very helpless, after returning home, he tossed and turned, wondering if this was another trap.

But a little later, the alarm no longer rings, and I can fall asleep peacefully.

At dawn the next day, we still ate compressed biscuits.

With a little hesitation, Ji Xiao asked me, he might want to take a gamble, and asked me what my plan was.

Instead of expressing unconditional trust like yesterday, I asked him what he thought specifically.

After asking this question, Ji Xiao wasn't angry, but heaved a sigh of relief.

I thought to myself, it seems that the previous "trust" will instead become one of his sources of stress.

What really makes Ji Xiao feel at ease is actually the analysis like this: Smart Ghost is the only crew member who didn't die among other people...

Our conversations are, of course, all typed on cell phones.

Me: Maybe it’s just that it’s not time for the fat and thin duo to “show their hearts” to you, after all, the captain only said this in the “second round”.

Ji Xiao admits: Yes, there is a possibility.

I glanced at him and typed: But?

Ji Xiao: But, I don't think this boat can let us stay indefinitely.

I think it makes sense: Yes, there are not many compressed biscuits, right?

Ji Xiao pondered: It's not just this problem.On top of that, I feel like they will slowly...

If he didn't say what happened next, I would understand it too.

We looked at each other, and I suddenly asked, "Yuan Yuan, what is the company's training?"

Ji Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and then replied: "Forge ahead with determination and go forward without hesitation."

I smiled and he smiled too.
