inherent gravity

The next day, I couldn't even straighten my arms, and the joints were "rusted".

After finally treating the wound, Kou Xiao leaned on the sink and let out a long sigh of relief, avoided the gauze and washed the cold sweat off his forehead with water.

"Come and eat something." Mu Qing sat at a small table that could barely be called a dining table and looked at him, one of the table legs was covered with paper.

"Yeah." Kou Xiao sat down at the table.

It's a very simple porridge and side dish, but Kou Xiao couldn't help but frowned when he saw a plate of sauerkraut minced meat on the side, and his stomach that had been silent for a long time began to turn upside down again.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Kou Xiao's complexion suddenly turned bad, Mu Qing immediately became nervous: "Is the food not to your liking?"

Kou Xiao took a deep breath and shook his head, then pushed the dish towards Mu Qing: "You can eat this, I'm allergic to sauerkraut."

"Oh." Embarrassed, Mu Qing poured a small half of the plate into the bowl: "Actually, this is leftover from eating yesterday, but there is no food at home, so..."

"Do you live alone?" Kou Xiao said after taking a sip of porridge slowly.

"Yeah, because I usually go out to work part-time or something and come back late, I'm afraid that my roommates will be disturbed when I stay at the hotel." Mu Qing smiled.

Kou Xiao tapped the rim of the bowl lightly with his fingers, and when he met Mu Qing's face, he found that he had already removed his makeup, and returned to the somewhat submissive state before.

"You..." He hesitated, "How long have you been working there?"

"It's been almost three years." Mu Qing guessed that he would ask this question, and the smile on his face couldn't hold back: "I went because I was short of money at that time."

"Then what is the relationship between you and that surnamed Huang?"

Kou Xiao looked at him, although he felt that it was inexplicable for him to be pestered and asked these questions after being dragged home just after fainting, but when he saw the environment of Mu Qing's house and the home-cooked dishes on the dinner table, he felt that Mu Qing Should be a very pure person.

Although it is also difficult for him to explain what purity is, he is not in the same category as Huang Kang, who seems to be double-faced.

"He was the one who introduced me to work part-time in Heitan," Mu Qing murmured, "and he also saved me."

"Saved you?" Kou Xiao looked at him just as he was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed Mu Qing's wrist that was spread flat on the table when he spoke.

Fair and thin, but there is a pink scar across the artery, the color is very light, and it is almost invisible unless you look closely.

cut/wrist?

Kou Xiao put down his chopsticks with a serious expression: "What's wrong with your hand?"

"This...was accidentally scratched before!" Mu Qing covered up the scar in a panic: "It's healed a long time ago! It doesn't hurt."

Kou Xiao looked back silently without saying a word. Although he felt like throwing up after eating anything after being hit in the stomach tonight, he still ate all the porridge served on the table seriously, and stood up after a while : "I'm really sorry to trouble you today, but I've been too busy recently, I'll come back to thank you when I'm done."

Probably a little surprised by Kou Xiao's sudden sincere tone and attitude, Mu Qing seemed a little flattered. He jumped up from the chair and waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's really not troublesome."

"Well, then I'll go first." Kou Xiao nodded, and thought of his clothes again: "Then my clothes..."

"You can sleep here tonight, it's okay." Mu Qing said quickly, "I've already washed your clothes, and it may take two days before they can be dried."

"I still can't." Kou Xiao hesitated, after all, he felt that he could hit his waist with a small turn around in the space here.

At the same time, they all heard a dull thunder, and after a while, there was the crisp sound of rain hitting the branches and leaves.

"...And it's raining, so don't let your wound get wet." Mu Qing said.

"Okay, then I'll sleep..." Kou Xiao sighed, looking around the entire living room, there was only a sofa bed that could barely accommodate two people: "That."

"It's okay, you can sleep on my bed, I've packed everything." Mu Qing quickly cleaned up the rest of the meal, and put the bowl in the kitchen sink first: "It's okay if I make do with it all night, you still have hurt."

Kou Xiao actually wanted to say that Mu Qing's bed was too small to sleep in, maybe not as comfortable as the sofa bed, so he nodded after being silent for a while: "Okay."

"Do you want to take a bath? I'll get you a clean towel." Mu Qing turned her head and said after clearing the table.

"Don't wash it." Kou Xiao looked at the remaining medicated oil on the joints, but today he was dizzy, vomited, and lay on the floor. In the end, he climbed into someone else's bed without taking a bath. He was really uncomfortable. Excuse me.

Wait, he seems to wake up in bed, right?

Still thinking about it, he went into the bathroom, Mu Qing handed him a new set of toiletries and went out to tidy up the bedding on the sofa bed.

"Good night." As soon as he lay down on the bed, Mu Qing helped him turn off the light in the room, "Call me if you need anything."

"Yeah." Kou Xiao tilted his head awkwardly. He was not used to saying good morning and night with people, but he hesitated for a while before asking: "...Have a good dream?"

Mu Qing smiled at him, his face was a bit blurred in the dark.

He closed the door gently, and the surroundings finally returned to the silent darkness.

Kou Xiao touched his pocket, the phone was still there, and the time displayed was almost two o'clock in the morning.

He was a little speechless, that is to say, it was past one o'clock when they just ate, and it was too late for supper.

So when Mu Qing went to work in the bar, he always got off work at this time and then had dinner at this time?

Kou Xiao frowned.

He doesn't have much energy to think about him, but if it's such a chaotic schedule and it lasts for three years, can it not break the body?No wonder he saw that Mu Qing's face lacked blood all year round, and he looked very weak.What's more, besides this job, he actually has several jobs as a cashier in the supermarket.

What kind of family is this child...

Kou Xiao turned over, and his head began to throb again.

He put these messy things to the back of his mind, instead of worrying about them, he should think about the second round two days later. After all, it's about money, about Lao He's life, and this is the most important thing he should think about right now.

But tonight, that person's hoarse and broken voice has been spinning back and forth in his mind, and after a short sleep, it actually went to his dream:

"There they are! Catch 'em!"

"Don't run! Catch it and see if I don't kill you!"

"Si, run away, I can't run anymore."

"Why? Didn't we agree to go together!"

"You go away... run out and don't come back."

"Wh... Ah San!!"

Countless chaotic black shadows and shattered curses, and the faint smell of blood and gunpowder smoke, but he didn't dare to stop. After jumping out of the fence and over the wall, he kept running forward desperately until his legs lost consciousness and he was exhausted. fell to the ground.

run out.

Kou Xiao took a few breaths, staring and leaning against the head of the bed, he felt a suffocating fear that almost swallowed him.

It was already a very distant memory, if he hadn't been stimulated tonight, he almost thought he wouldn't remember it.

He wiped his forehead, the gauze on some of the wounds on his face were already soaked in cold sweat and it hurt so badly, thinking that he couldn't sleep anyway, so he just got up and sterilized again.

Kou Xiao got up lightly and pushed open the door. It was already past three o'clock in the morning, and the moonlight scattered on the ground became softer and softer.

He had just gone out for a few steps, when Mu Qing, who was curled up on the sofa and his face was illuminated by the light of the mobile phone, was startled terribly:

"Why are you not sleeping yet?!"

"Ah? Are you awake?" Mu Qing got up and rubbed his eyes, his voice was very tired: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to hear you call me if I fall asleep."

"You..." Kou Xiao froze suddenly, his voice changed in surprise: "So you plan to stay here all night?"

"Well, anyway, the night passed quickly." Mu Qing yawned, and his eyes couldn't help but narrowed: "What's the matter with you? What's wrong?"

"I'll change a piece of gauze." Kou Xiao picked up the medicine box on the table, and when he turned around, he didn't realize that he was sniffing.

"Okay." Mu Qing nodded sleepily.

When Kou Xiao finished disinfecting and came out, Mu Qing was already leaning on the sofa and nodding his head repeatedly, like pecking at rice.

"Go to sleep, I'm really fine." Kou Xiao couldn't help but want to push him back on the sofa and knock him out with a punch: "I'm not dying, I'm really not that fragile."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Mu Qing looked at him, the outline of his side face was coated with a layer of silver by the moonlight, making it look very soft.

"I had a nightmare and couldn't sleep." Kou Xiao sighed.

"That's it, then shall I watch a movie with you?" Mu Qing suddenly moved to the side to make room for a seat: "You won't be afraid to watch something."

It is always easy to lose control of emotions in the middle of the night, Kou Xiao even felt like he was about to howl: "I really don't need you to sleep, I beg you."

Mu Qing had already started squatting by the cabinet to search for something, and waved his hand excitedly after a while: "I found it!"

"What?" Kou Xiao saw clearly what was in his hand, it was a small projector that looked very old.

"It just so happens that there is only this small piece of white wall in my house, which can come in handy."

Mu Qing set up the machine, turned to greet Kou Xiao: "Come and sit, what do you want to see?"

"Whatever." Kou Xiao squeezed out two words from between his teeth.

"Then watch romance, comedy and horror.
