The interstellar admiral has become a cannon fodder star [System]
Chapter 50 Changes
Su Baiwei's body temperature deprived by the darkness gradually warmed up under Li Heng's touch.
It was the only warmth he could feel.
So he pressed it tightly, wishing he could get his whole body into Li Heng's arms, as if it would make him feel more at ease.
The circuit of the villa has not been restored to normal, and Su Baiwei's various perceptions have lost their sharpness due to psychological factors. The only thing he can capture is the existence of Li Heng.
Su Baiwei's breathing gradually became even, his eyelashes covered his flustered eyes, and his heartbeat also slowed down.If it weren't for a pair of hands with sharp knuckles still tugging on Li Heng's clothes, he would even think that he was just asleep.
When Li Heng picked him up, he thought in a wild way: He is thinner than he imagined, as if he could be crushed with force.
Coming out of the bathroom of the room, Li Heng gently put Su Baiwei into the bed, every movement was delicate and gentle, careful not to disturb Su Baiwei's peace again.
But the moment Li Heng let go, his forearm was grabbed violently.
It was expected, and he had planned it long ago.
But when Su Baiwei grasped him tightly with both hands, and looked at him with the panicked eyes of a dying little beast...
Li Heng's heart skipped a beat suddenly.
Clearly aware of Su Baiwei's current situation, but Li Heng just stood still, letting Su Baiwei pull him and not let him go, pretending to be ignorant and asking:
"how?"
He asked Su Baiwei this question several times, but usually he couldn't get a frank answer.
Su Baiwei's voice was sticky because he had cried just now. He hadn't adjusted his mood well yet, and when he saw that Li Heng was about to leave, he asked him nervously:
"where are you going……"
At that moment, Li Heng thought that the despicableness and cruelty that he had never had before showed clues in his heart.
He suddenly had some bad thoughts: he wanted to see this man cry more, call his name in a voice that would break if he touched it, and begged himself to stay, so that he could spend this terrible and long night with him.
"Where do you want me to go?" Li Heng stood upright, looking down at Su Baiwei impersonally.
"I……"
Su Baiwei didn't know how to answer this question, he stared blankly at Li Heng, his hands trembling slightly with still lingering fear, clung to Li Heng's arm like grabbing a life-saving driftwood.
"If you refuse to say, then I will leave."
Li Heng lowered his eyes, and after speaking, he really wanted to break away from him.
Su Baiwei seemed to have exhausted all his strength, trying to hold the other party firmly, he had even forgotten that he was /not/hanging at all, so he wanted to get out of the bed.
But he still didn't keep Li Heng's body temperature, Li Heng just took a step back, and Su Baiwei couldn't catch it anymore.
"Li Heng...are you still there?"
At this moment, Su Baiwei clearly couldn't see anything clearly, but felt that it was not the darkness that frightened him the most.
Instead, Li Heng was gone.
Realizing this, Su Baiwei eagerly reached out to reach for Li Heng's arm, but in vain.
He was terrified.
Afraid that loneliness will come back, afraid that the darkness will kill him, afraid that he will face the recurrence of his old disease alone, and afraid that Li Heng will leave without looking back.
"Where have you been..." He sobbed, his voice trembling at the end.
Just like myself ten years ago, I have no reason and sense of proportion, only restlessness.
"what to do……"
Su Bai slightly raised the back of his hand and wiped his tears, while anxiously wanting to find Li Heng, "I can't see you... Li Heng, I can't see..."
Li Heng, who was hiding in the night, looked at him from a step away.
Seeing him crying and looking for him so helplessly, Li Heng suddenly responded.
"Su Baiwei, what's on your mind, you have to say it."
Hearing Li Heng's voice, Su Baiwei immediately stopped crying and looked for Li Heng's direction in a daze.
He got off the bed a little clumsily, and before he could take a step forward, he knocked against the bedside table.
The bang made him tremble with pain.
Li Heng looked at him, still unmoved: "If you don't tell me, I won't guess."
"Come here, okay..." Su Bai bit his lip slightly.
He listened to Li Heng's words and said what he wanted.
But Li Heng didn't like what he wanted, and said: "It's late, you should rest."
"I... I don't rest."
Su Baiwei said something stupid and took another step forward.
Perhaps it was because he was sure that Li Heng was here, even though Su Baiwei couldn't see anything, he was no longer afraid.
But he still didn't know how to speak, he was always tight-lipped about all his fragility and refused to reveal it.
And Li Heng wanted him to speak out, how could this be done?
Su Bai pursed his lips slightly, and silently clenched his hands.
What he didn't know was that the distance between him and Li Heng was already very close at this moment, so close that as long as he raised his head, he could touch the other's breath.
"... Li Heng, don't hide from me, it's not fun, where are you?"
As he spoke, he took another step forward.
This time, Su Baiwei bumped his head on Li Heng's body.
He was not surprised, did not run away, the moment he met Li Heng, he stretched out his arms and hugged Li Heng tightly as if he was afraid that he would run away: "I found you..."
"Yeah." Li Heng didn't break away from him, but raised his hand to cover Su Baiwei's wet hair, rubbed it lightly, and asked him, "You haven't said, what do you want me to do. "
After approaching Li Heng again, the anxiety finally settled.
All Su Baiwei's secretiveness in the past is gone.At this moment, his fragility and clumsiness were completely exposed.
"I don't want to be alone," he suddenly had great courage, rubbed Li Heng's palm, and said, "I want you to stay..."
He couldn't see the dark look in Li Heng's eyes, he could only feel Li Heng pulling him into his arms like a reward.
After a while, Li Heng said "OK" in a hoarse voice.
Then he hugged the person back to the bed somewhat rudely, and after Su Baiwei spun around for a while, he was already stuffed into the bed.
"Sleep, I'll watch over you."
Li Heng didn't even get on the bed, just sat aside and tucked the quilt up slightly for Su Bai.
Some things seem to become easier after the beginning, so Su Baiwei smoothly expressed his thoughts again:
"Do you want to sleep together?"
"Do not."
Li Heng answered quickly, even a little hastily.
He realized that this kind of refusal might embarrass Su Baiwei, so he passed his hand out to give Su Baiwei a sense of security, touched his earlobe, and said, "Sleep with you, don't worry about me."
"Oh……"
Su Baiwei's tone sounded a little disappointed, but he still tucked into the quilt obediently, resting on Li Heng's palm to slowly relieve the tense state.
After a few minutes……
Li Heng lowered his eyes and sighed heavily, saying:
"Su Baiwei, if you really can't sleep, get up and find something to do."
"...I can sleep well."
"Then close your eyes."
This time Su Baiwei is still honest: "But I'm afraid you will leave..."
Li Heng's throat rolled, and an inexplicably gloomy expression appeared on his face——
At this time, Su Baiwei is very fragile and lacks a sense of security. He will rely on anyone who appears by his side.
Whether it's Li Heng, Si He, or anyone.
So when he showed such complete tenderness to Li Heng, even though Li Heng knew that his plan had succeeded, he still felt anxious.
"I will stay here until dawn, so..."
Li Heng leaned down and put it close to Su Baiwei's ear, his tone was soft after being suppressed, and said,
"Sleep well."
The next day, when Su Baiwei was awakened by the bright sky, Li Heng was standing at the head of his bed, bending over to find the charging cable.
He told Su Baiwei that now all the lighting can be used normally, and there will be no more problems tonight.
It seemed that the power outage last night was just an accidental mistake in this high-end villa.
When Li Heng spoke, his expression was casual, as if nothing had happened between him and Su Baiwei.They just meet in ordinary mornings, in ordinary ways.
He said good morning to Su Baiwei, and was about to leave with the charging cable.
"and many more!"
Su Baiwei stopped him.
Li Heng turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "What else is there?"
"You... did you rest well last night?"
Su Baiwei didn't know why he fell asleep so quickly last night, who had always had insomnia and dreamy dreams.
He didn't know whether Li Heng stayed with him until dawn.
In short, when he woke up and saw Li Heng, his heart started beating wildly for no reason, subconsciously he was unwilling to let Li Heng out of his sight.
"It's okay." Li Heng didn't answer directly, but asked instead, "What about you?"
"I slept well..." It was obvious that I slept very well.
Probably because of the sudden relaxation after the tense nerves, it was rare for Su Baiwei to sleep until the sun was up.
"En." Li Heng nodded, waved his hand at him and said, "Then I'm leaving."
"you--"
Su Bai panicked slightly, and leaned out from under the bed quilt. After realizing that he was not wearing anything, he quickly shrank back, nervously saying,
"...where are you going?"
"I asked Huo You to help me find a place to live." Li Heng shrugged, looking a little loose and indifferent, "Now go and pack up and move out."
"Move, move out?!"
Su Baiwei's voice suddenly became louder, "Why?"
"Huh? Didn't you say you want me to move out quickly?"
Li Heng seemed more confused than him, glanced at him and said,
"A friend just said that he wanted to come and visit me. If I keep refusing, it may make everyone suspicious, and I can't let them know our relationship...Of course, we have nothing to do with each other. In short, it will be more convenient for me to move out."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without any intention of staying, and he didn't wait for Su Baiwei's response at all.
The door was gently closed, blocking Su Baiwei's view of him.
It wasn't until he went downstairs that Li Heng let go of his acting skills. The exhaustion from not sleeping all night swept over him, and he yawned.
The system said melancholy: [Mr. Host, isn't it too much for you to retreat into advance?What if he really let you go? 】
"Then go."
Li Heng said so, but he didn't seem worried about this problem.
In fact, he certainly didn't ask Hoyo to find him a new place to live, and he never thought about moving out from the beginning to the end.
Li Heng almost believed that Su Baiwei would not let him go.
But why is it so inevitable?He doesn't know either.
It was probably just that Su Baiwei from last night was extremely fragile, so Li Heng had the illusion that... he had the other party in his hands.
So, completely different from the worried system, Li Heng appeared calm and unhurried.
When he randomly packed his few daily necessities into the box, and dragged the suitcase to make a loud noise on purpose, the system was almost panicked.
[What to do, he hasn't come to stop you yet? 】
Li Heng did not respond to the system's concerns.
Without changing his face, he still walked towards the door without looking back.
Just when the system was about to stop his ruthless tactic of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, with Li Heng opening the door, Su Baiwei finally appeared belatedly from the second floor.
"Li Heng!"
While calling Li Heng's name, he trotted down.
Su Baiwei ran up to Li Heng, glanced at the suitcase in Li Heng's hand in panic, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
Li Heng had expected Su Baiwei's appearance, but he still showed a look of bewilderment and surprise, looked Su Baiwei up and down, and asked preemptively:
"Why did you run down with bare feet?"
While talking, he bent down to find a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to the entrance.
Obviously, I usually walk around barefoot in a slovenly manner, but now I turned into a strict guardian, put the shoes at Su Baiwei's feet, and said in a solemn voice: "Put it on before you talk."
"……it is good."
Su Bai buried his chin slightly, took a quick look at him, and found that his gaze was caught by Li Heng, so he immediately turned his head away, obediently put on his shoes before saying,
"Why... are you leaving so soon?"
Su Baiwei didn't realize how tense his tone was when he spoke.
But Li Heng found out.
But he deliberately pretended not to notice Su Baiwei's little thoughts, and answered the wrong question: "I don't have many things, and I pack them up quickly."
"So...do you want to check again?"
Su Baiwei's eyes blinked a few times at an unnatural speed, almost writing his bravado on his face,
"After all, I've lived here for so long, just in case something falls... By the way, there seems to be something you put in the refrigerator!"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, you can throw it away."
"But it's a waste. They're all... very good vegetables..."
"Then keep it for yourself, maybe find a nanny to do it." The smile on the corner of Li Heng's mouth was restrained, "Otherwise, I'll go and take them away."
"It's inconvenient for you to take it away..."
After Su Baiwei finished speaking, he bit his lower lip, not knowing how to continue.
So the atmosphere fell silent, and no one spoke again.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Li Heng exhale a foul breath, and said with a helpless smile:
"It seems that you still haven't taken my words to heart."
"what…?"
Su Baiwei was still thinking about what to say to tell Li Heng not to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and looked up at Li Heng in a daze.
They looked at each other for a moment, and Su Bai thought in a trance: Li Heng is much taller than him.
With the two of them at such a close distance, Su Baiwei had to lift his neck very hard to see Li Heng's expression clearly.
Under Li Heng's condescending gaze, Su Baiwei belatedly felt a sense of oppression under scrutiny, and then he heard Li Heng speak:
"I'm not telling you, you have to say what you're thinking about."
Li Heng's voice is very deep, and he speaks slowly and lazily. Every word seems to have a sharp hook, which can lift people's heart high.
"How do you keep me with those lame excuses?"
Su Baiwei was stunned by these words.
His mind went blank, his eyes widened and he looked at Li Heng in panic, as if Li Heng had said something terrible just now.
"Or, you don't want to keep me here, I'm just being sentimental." Li Heng said so, but his expression was completely determined to win.
Su Baiwei was not very upbeat either.
He was blocked by Li Heng's repeated rhetorical questions, and his whole face was flushed: "I..."
"Well, what are you?"
"...I didn't want to drive you away."
Su Bai gritted his teeth slightly, and said vigorously,
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, it's best to rest for a while. If you have friends who want to visit, let them come. After all, you haven't officially shown up until now. I know many people are worried about you. Anyway, I usually need to work, so I will live in the urban area... The houses here are vacant and empty, so you can help me and take care of the house..."
He said a lot in one breath, and looked up again, only to find that Li Heng still looked dissatisfied.
"You...don't want to live anymore?" Su Baiwei asked him uneasily.
Li Heng shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking, when will you get rid of your bad habit of beating around the bush. Obviously only one sentence is enough, so why talk so much?"
"What sentence..." Su Bai was a little confused.
At this time, Li Heng suddenly let go of the suitcase, and took a small step towards Su Bai.
With just this one step, the two got very close, and Su Baiwei seemed to be in a trance, and didn't even back away.
Li Heng curled his lips and taught him: "Just say you don't want me to leave, is it so simple?"
"..."
Su Bai opened his mouth slightly, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, his eyelids tightened, and his whole body became stiff.
This overly ambiguous atmosphere made him speechless for a moment.
"Forget it." Li Heng sighed, not wanting to push him any further, so he changed a roundabout way and said, "Then tell me, do you want me to go?"
Su Bai paused for a few seconds before carefully shaking his head.
Li Heng asked him again: "Want me to stay?"
Su Baiwei nodded at first, and then maybe he realized that his reaction was a bit clumsy. In order to behave more naturally, he opened his mouth and said:
"Actually, you can live in this house for as long as you want..."
At eleven o'clock in the morning on weekdays, Su Baiwei, who should have started a busy day at the company, did not go out today uncharacteristically.
He had been sitting upright on the sofa for 10 minutes, his head resting on his chin.
Su Baiwei didn't know why, after one night, the atmosphere between him and Li Heng became so... weird.
Maybe he is the only one who is weird, Li Heng is still the same Li Heng as before——
Lazy and careless, always with a teasing smile on his lips, sometimes frivolous and sometimes fierce, but most of the time he is always unpredictable, so that people will be led by the nose inadvertently.
But Su Baiwei is different.
He became tense and restrained, uneasy, and his whole body showed a kind of careful and docile state.He has been observing Li Heng, and even wants to please him.
That is a certain dependence psychology of small animals after they are rescued by humans.
Su Baiwei didn't understand, he only knew that he didn't want Li Heng to leave now.
The broken hair on the front side fell down, blocking the smooth forehead, from Li Heng's perspective, one can still find Su Bai's slightly thick eyelashes fluttering.
"Ten past eleven."
Li Heng glanced at the clock, told him the time, and said, "When do you want to speak? Or shall we sit here all day?"
"Can I... can I not say it?"
Su Baiwei put his hands on his knees and clasped them lightly, the palms were sweating.
He just wanted to keep Li Heng, who knew that this person did, but he had a problem——
Li Heng asked Su Baiwei to tell himself why he showed such an unusual look when the power went out last night.
Judging from his mental state, psychological reactions, and various physical manifestations, Su Baiwei obviously has problems that cannot be ignored.But he refused to face this matter directly, always trying to avoid it.I don't want to face it, and I don't want to solve it.
The more he pretended it was okay, the more Li Heng wanted him to make it clear.
Su Baiwei kept silent, so the two sat like this for 10 minutes.
"If you want me to stay, you have to answer my question." Sitting opposite Su Baiwei, Li Heng asked forcefully, not intending to sympathize with him at all, "Do you know that you are sick?"
"sick……"
Su Baiwei's lips turned pale, "No, I'm fine."
"Are you lying to me or to yourself?"
Li Heng frowned slightly and said,
"If you don't think there's any point in telling me and don't want to tell me that much, then at least see a doctor. Your condition is serious and some intervention is warranted."
These words were outside of Li Heng's plan, and it might be a waste of time to say too much, but when he thought of Su Baiwei's dying appearance last night, he couldn't ignore the other party's psychological problems.
Of course Li Heng knew that in a month's time, he and Su Baiwei would be successfully untied, and it was possible that they would never have any contact with each other again for the rest of their lives.
In the future, Su Baiwei will fall into another person's arms in another darkness, and be comforted more tenderly.No matter how heavy Su Baiwei's psychological shadow is, it will have nothing to do with Li Heng.
But Li Heng failed to realize that it was none of his business, he still couldn't bear it and wanted to take away this old wound for Su Baiwei.
After hearing Li Heng's words, Su Baiwei quickly refuted him: "No, I didn't want to say..."
"What is that?" Li Heng asked without giving him a chance to take back his words.
"I, I don't know..."
Su Baiwei thought for a long time, but couldn't find a good topic.
It is difficult for Su Baiwei to bring up the old incident ten years ago.
Naturally, Li Heng wasn't really interested in his past. He already knew a thing or two about the background stories of those characters from the first day he came through the book.
He asked Su Baiwei to speak, just hoping that Su Baiwei would take the initiative to face it.
But seeing that Su Baiwei was still unwilling to obey, he suddenly changed his subject and asked, "Do you still have stomach pain recently?"
"Huh?" Su Bai was slightly taken aback, "It's much better than before..."
After he finished speaking, he didn't know what he thought of, and his ears felt hot.
It seems that there was a small change in the relationship between him and Li Heng at the beginning, because of his stomach pain... Now Li Heng mentioned it again, I don’t know what it means?
Su Bai looked up at Li Heng carefully, but found that Li Heng had no intention of making the atmosphere ambiguous again.
Li Heng directly skipped the topic just now, and said to Su Bai:
"Collect what you should say, and have a drink with me tonight—"
He paused, raised his eyelids and added something unclear,
"If the wine still can't pry your mouth open, we have to think of other ways."
It was the only warmth he could feel.
So he pressed it tightly, wishing he could get his whole body into Li Heng's arms, as if it would make him feel more at ease.
The circuit of the villa has not been restored to normal, and Su Baiwei's various perceptions have lost their sharpness due to psychological factors. The only thing he can capture is the existence of Li Heng.
Su Baiwei's breathing gradually became even, his eyelashes covered his flustered eyes, and his heartbeat also slowed down.If it weren't for a pair of hands with sharp knuckles still tugging on Li Heng's clothes, he would even think that he was just asleep.

Su Baiwei seemed to have exhausted all his strength, trying to hold the other party firmly, he had even forgotten that he was /not/hanging at all, so he wanted to get out of the bed.
But he still didn't keep Li Heng's body temperature, Li Heng just took a step back, and Su Baiwei couldn't catch it anymore.
"Li Heng...are you still there?"
At this moment, Su Baiwei clearly couldn't see anything clearly, but felt that it was not the darkness that frightened him the most.
Instead, Li Heng was gone.

Seeing him crying and looking for him so helplessly, Li Heng suddenly responded.
"Su Baiwei, what's on your mind, you have to say it."

After a few minutes……
Li Heng lowered his eyes and sighed heavily, saying:

"...I can sleep well."
"Then close your eyes."
This time Su Baiwei is still honest: "But I'm afraid you will leave..."
Li Heng's throat rolled, and an inexplicably gloomy expression appeared on his face——
At this time, Su Baiwei is very fragile and lacks a sense of security. He will rely on anyone who appears by his side.

The system said melancholy: [Mr. Host, isn't it too much for you to retreat into advance?What if he really let you go? 】
"Then go."
Li Heng said so, but he didn't seem worried about this problem.
In fact, he certainly didn't ask Hoyo to find him a new place to live, and he never thought about moving out from the beginning to the end.
Li Heng almost believed that Su Baiwei would not let him go.
But why is it so inevitable?He doesn't know either.
It was probably just that Su Baiwei from last night was extremely fragile, so Li Heng had the illusion that... he had the other party in his hands.
So, completely different from the worried system, Li Heng appeared calm and unhurried.
When he randomly packed his few daily necessities into the box, and dragged the suitcase to make a loud noise on purpose, the system was almost panicked.
[What to do, he hasn't come to stop you yet? 】
Li Heng did not respond to the system's concerns.
Without changing his face, he still walked towards the door without looking back.
Just when the system was about to stop his ruthless tactic of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot, with Li Heng opening the door, Su Baiwei finally appeared belatedly from the second floor.
"Li Heng!"
While calling Li Heng's name, he trotted down.
Su Baiwei ran up to Li Heng, glanced at the suitcase in Li Heng's hand in panic, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
Li Heng had expected Su Baiwei's appearance, but he still showed a look of bewilderment and surprise, looked Su Baiwei up and down, and asked preemptively:
"Why did you run down with bare feet?"
While talking, he bent down to find a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet next to the entrance.
Obviously, I usually walk around barefoot in a slovenly manner, but now I turned into a strict guardian, put the shoes at Su Baiwei's feet, and said in a solemn voice: "Put it on before you talk."
"……it is good."
Su Bai buried his chin slightly, took a quick look at him, and found that his gaze was caught by Li Heng, so he immediately turned his head away, obediently put on his shoes before saying,
"Why... are you leaving so soon?"
Su Baiwei didn't realize how tense his tone was when he spoke.
But Li Heng found out.
But he deliberately pretended not to notice Su Baiwei's little thoughts, and answered the wrong question: "I don't have many things, and I pack them up quickly."
"So...do you want to check again?"
Su Baiwei's eyes blinked a few times at an unnatural speed, almost writing his bravado on his face,
"After all, I've lived here for so long, just in case something falls... By the way, there seems to be something you put in the refrigerator!"
Li Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's okay, you can throw it away."
"But it's a waste. They're all... very good vegetables..."
"Then keep it for yourself, maybe find a nanny to do it." The smile on the corner of Li Heng's mouth was restrained, "Otherwise, I'll go and take them away."
"It's inconvenient for you to take it away..."
After Su Baiwei finished speaking, he bit his lower lip, not knowing how to continue.
So the atmosphere fell silent, and no one spoke again.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Li Heng exhale a foul breath, and said with a helpless smile:
"It seems that you still haven't taken my words to heart."
"what…?"
Su Baiwei was still thinking about what to say to tell Li Heng not to leave, but when he heard this, he stopped and looked up at Li Heng in a daze.
They looked at each other for a moment, and Su Bai thought in a trance: Li Heng is much taller than him.
With the two of them at such a close distance, Su Baiwei had to lift his neck very hard to see Li Heng's expression clearly.
Under Li Heng's condescending gaze, Su Baiwei belatedly felt a sense of oppression under scrutiny, and then he heard Li Heng speak:
"I'm not telling you, you have to say what you're thinking about."
Li Heng's voice is very deep, and he speaks slowly and lazily. Every word seems to have a sharp hook, which can lift people's heart high.
"How do you keep me with those lame excuses?"
Su Baiwei was stunned by these words.
His mind went blank, his eyes widened and he looked at Li Heng in panic, as if Li Heng had said something terrible just now.
"Or, you don't want to keep me here, I'm just being sentimental." Li Heng said so, but his expression was completely determined to win.
Su Baiwei was not very upbeat either.
He was blocked by Li Heng's repeated rhetorical questions, and his whole face was flushed: "I..."
"Well, what are you?"
"...I didn't want to drive you away."
Su Bai gritted his teeth slightly, and said vigorously,
"Your injuries haven't healed yet, it's best to rest for a while. If you have friends who want to visit, let them come. After all, you haven't officially shown up until now. I know many people are worried about you. Anyway, I usually need to work, so I will live in the urban area... The houses here are vacant and empty, so you can help me and take care of the house..."
He said a lot in one breath, and looked up again, only to find that Li Heng still looked dissatisfied.
"You...don't want to live anymore?" Su Baiwei asked him uneasily.
Li Heng shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking, when will you get rid of your bad habit of beating around the bush. Obviously only one sentence is enough, so why talk so much?"
"What sentence..." Su Bai was a little confused.
At this time, Li Heng suddenly let go of the suitcase, and took a small step towards Su Bai.
With just this one step, the two got very close, and Su Baiwei seemed to be in a trance, and didn't even back away.
Li Heng curled his lips and taught him: "Just say you don't want me to leave, is it so simple?"
"..."
Su Bai opened his mouth slightly, his heartbeat accelerated suddenly, his eyelids tightened, and his whole body became stiff.
This overly ambiguous atmosphere made him speechless for a moment.
"Forget it." Li Heng sighed, not wanting to push him any further, so he changed a roundabout way and said, "Then tell me, do you want me to go?"
Su Bai paused for a few seconds before carefully shaking his head.
Li Heng asked him again: "Want me to stay?"
Su Baiwei nodded at first, and then maybe he realized that his reaction was a bit clumsy. In order to behave more naturally, he opened his mouth and said:
"Actually, you can live in this house for as long as you want..."
At eleven o'clock in the morning on weekdays, Su Baiwei, who should have started a busy day at the company, did not go out today uncharacteristically.
He had been sitting upright on the sofa for 10 minutes, his head resting on his chin.
Su Baiwei didn't know why, after one night, the atmosphere between him and Li Heng became so... weird.
Maybe he is the only one who is weird, Li Heng is still the same Li Heng as before——
Lazy and careless, always with a teasing smile on his lips, sometimes frivolous and sometimes fierce, but most of the time he is always unpredictable, so that people will be led by the nose inadvertently.
But Su Baiwei is different.
He became tense and restrained, uneasy, and his whole body showed a kind of careful and docile state.He has been observing Li Heng, and even wants to please him.
That is a certain dependence psychology of small animals after they are rescued by humans.
Su Baiwei didn't understand, he only knew that he didn't want Li Heng to leave now.
The broken hair on the front side fell down, blocking the smooth forehead, from Li Heng's perspective, one can still find Su Bai's slightly thick eyelashes fluttering.
"Ten past eleven."
Li Heng glanced at the clock, told him the time, and said, "When do you want to speak? Or shall we sit here all day?"
"Can I... can I not say it?"
Su Baiwei put his hands on his knees and clasped them lightly, the palms were sweating.
He just wanted to keep Li Heng, who knew that this person did, but he had a problem——
Li Heng asked Su Baiwei to tell himself why he showed such an unusual look when the power went out last night.
Judging from his mental state, psychological reactions, and various physical manifestations, Su Baiwei obviously has problems that cannot be ignored.But he refused to face this matter directly, always trying to avoid it.I don't want to face it, and I don't want to solve it.
The more he pretended it was okay, the more Li Heng wanted him to make it clear.
Su Baiwei kept silent, so the two sat like this for 10 minutes.
"If you want me to stay, you have to answer my question." Sitting opposite Su Baiwei, Li Heng asked forcefully, not intending to sympathize with him at all, "Do you know that you are sick?"
"sick……"
Su Baiwei's lips turned pale, "No, I'm fine."
"Are you lying to me or to yourself?"
Li Heng frowned slightly and said,
"If you don't think there's any point in telling me and don't want to tell me that much, then at least see a doctor. Your condition is serious and some intervention is warranted."
These words were outside of Li Heng's plan, and it might be a waste of time to say too much, but when he thought of Su Baiwei's dying appearance last night, he couldn't ignore the other party's psychological problems.
Of course Li Heng knew that in a month's time, he and Su Baiwei would be successfully untied, and it was possible that they would never have any contact with each other again for the rest of their lives.
In the future, Su Baiwei will fall into another person's arms in another darkness, and be comforted more tenderly.No matter how heavy Su Baiwei's psychological shadow is, it will have nothing to do with Li Heng.
But Li Heng failed to realize that it was none of his business, he still couldn't bear it and wanted to take away this old wound for Su Baiwei.
After hearing Li Heng's words, Su Baiwei quickly refuted him: "No, I didn't want to say..."
"What is that?" Li Heng asked without giving him a chance to take back his words.
"I, I don't know..."
Su Baiwei thought for a long time, but couldn't find a good topic.
It is difficult for Su Baiwei to bring up the old incident ten years ago.
Naturally, Li Heng wasn't really interested in his past. He already knew a thing or two about the background stories of those characters from the first day he came through the book.
He asked Su Baiwei to speak, just hoping that Su Baiwei would take the initiative to face it.
But seeing that Su Baiwei was still unwilling to obey, he suddenly changed his subject and asked, "Do you still have stomach pain recently?"
"Huh?" Su Bai was slightly taken aback, "It's much better than before..."
After he finished speaking, he didn't know what he thought of, and his ears felt hot.
It seems that there was a small change in the relationship between him and Li Heng at the beginning, because of his stomach pain... Now Li Heng mentioned it again, I don’t know what it means?
Su Bai looked up at Li Heng carefully, but found that Li Heng had no intention of making the atmosphere ambiguous again.
Li Heng directly skipped the topic just now, and said to Su Bai:
"Collect what you should say, and have a drink with me tonight—"
He paused, raised his eyelids and added something unclear,
"If the wine still can't pry your mouth open, we have to think of other ways."
