the one who lives in my body

Although Xie Dongrong had a smile on his face, there was a bit of helplessness in his expression.

I lowered my eyes, avoiding his sight. Out of instinct, I sensed his slightly depressed mood. I didn't want to think about the meaning behind this mood. I found that I would rather not know Xie Dongrong that well.

"It's very late, you have to go out to meet the general tomorrow, right? That's all for today." Walking to the desk and putting the parts into the storage box one by one, I suddenly wanted to be alone for a while.

Recently, as long as I have a little spare time, Xie Dongrong will come to me to discuss some details of mecha manufacturing or ask me about the skills of mecha assembly. Although this is indeed what I promised in advance, it is too frequent The visit has seriously squeezed my rest time. For example, now, I am extremely tired, and the only thing I want to do now is to lie on the bed and have a good rest.

When I stayed with Xie Dongrong in the past, I never felt this kind of feeling, the feeling of eagerly wanting to have my own independent space instead of being stuck with this person.

But I couldn't say similar words to Xie Dongrong, because he behaved decently enough, and if I said it, it would seem that I was too worried.

This is the first time I have issued such an order to expel a guest directly through Xie Dongrong. He is a sensible person. I thought he would say goodbye respectfully and gently walk the door like any other time before.

But this time, after a long silence, he didn't move.

When I turned my head to look at him questioningly, I happened to meet his eyes. Xie Dongrong's blue eyes reminded me of the seductive sea monster in mythology, but he didn't sing, but told me in a low and melodious voice : "Actually, it's not too late. You and I have been very busy recently. Now we finally have time. I want to use it as much as possible..."

That's right, it's hard for me to have free time. I want to rest, not deal with you until midnight and then go to bed exhausted!

"I'm a little tired." As I said that, I sat on the bed, as if giving up on myself, I lay down, "Very sleepy."

"Sleep if you want to sleep." Xie Dongrong's footsteps approached from far to near. When his figure covered the light in sight, I stared at him and thought he was amazing. This kind of death angle can look so handsome.

Xie Dongrong sat on the edge of my bed, "You really should have a good rest."

so what?so why are you still here?Sighing secretly, facing Xie Dongrong's gaze, I closed my eyes as if evading, and realized that Xie Dongrong was a little abnormal at this moment, was it because of the phone call?

About five seconds later, I opened my eyes again and found that Xie Dongrong was still staring at me silently as if I closed my eyes, "Are you awake? So soon?"

I was probably really sleepy, so I couldn't help it, I raised my hand, the back of my hand touched Xie Dongrong's side, and hit him lightly twice, "I'm going to rest, you go out."

As if my movements had brought him great discomfort, Xie Dongrong's body stiffened for a moment, but he still didn't look away, but just looked at me like that. After a long time, he asked me: "Do you wish Do I have another companion?"

The sound is not loud, but because of the silence in the room, it falls into the ears very clearly.

Why did you suddenly return to this topic?

What answer did he expect to hear?At that moment, I thought.

"Well, it should be that person's honor to be with you." Finally, I said, "Of course, it's not impossible to be alone."

"An Hexuan can obviously be alone." Xie Dongrong stared at me with lowered eyes, "You can tell me if you want to go, even if it's not as a companion."

In fact, I don’t know what Xie Dongrong is talking about, I only know that it is probably a pointless matter even if I argue, I close my eyes again, I want to sleep, “Well, it’s okay, that’s it.”

This is the last memory left in my mind for this day.

I didn't expect to see Xie Dongrong's sleeping face with his eyes closed the next morning.

After that, I spent five seconds thinking about why I was so relieved to fall asleep in front of Xie Dongrong.

The bed is half for one person, but because of his size, Xie Dongrong looks a lot more aggrieved than me at the moment. He is still wearing last night's clothes, lying obediently beside me, looking a little bit attractive?

I almost suspected that I drank fake wine, I sat up, turned my head to stare at Xie Dongrong who was only covered with a corner of the quilt, and suddenly felt a little afraid that he would catch a cold because of it.

The next moment, he opened his eyes, frowned first, and then said to me: "Morning."

I don't know what expression to make, I really want to ask him, are you sleeping here like this?I also really want to ask myself, how can you still sleep with this guy next to you?

"Look at your expression, it seems like I did something to you." Casually, Xie Dongrong smiled, raised his hand to straighten his collar, and said suddenly: "Speaking of it, we haven't slept together for a long time. It's over."

For some reason, I don't want Xie Dongrong to mention the past between me and him, especially now, when he squints his eyes and hasn't realized that he should wear a mask.

"Okay, enough sleep and go back." Standing up, suppressing the anger in my heart, I got up and walked to the bathroom.

Halfway through the toothbrush, through the mirror, I saw Xie Dongrong walk to the door of the bathroom, he stared at me with no expression on his face, and asked me: "Are you angry?"

After spitting out the froth in my mouth and looking at myself in the mirror, I'm sure I'm calm enough.

"No." I heard myself say.

Finally, Xie Dongrong smiled: "That's good."

There was a click, and the moment he left the dormitory, I saw myself in the mirror relieved.

"That's good"?When I said this, I noticed Xie Dongrong's expression.

How could it be the same as before.

The conversation I had with Xie Dongrong just now was probably just a temporary guarantee that the crumbling mountain has not yet collapsed.

·

Staring at myself in a suit in the mirror, I smiled confidently, it's really good, it turns out that as long as I dress up seriously, I can also become a qualified handsome guy.

An Hexuan's car came very punctually, not more than a minute, not less than a second before our appointment.

The car window was rolled down, and our eyes collided with the person in the car at an untimely time. After a long absence, we looked at each other and smiled.

I didn't expect that An Hexuan would come to pick me up in person, what a great honor it is, maybe I should be thankful that there seems to be no stranger between me and him, although strictly speaking, he and I are not friends.

After getting in the car, the wheels started again without stopping. When I looked at him in the blink of an eye, my first feeling was that he had changed.

Different from Xie Dongrong's transformation between youth and youth, what An Hexuan brought to me was a complete sensory difference.

He is old.

This word may be inappropriate for a person who is two years younger than me, but my first feeling is that it is indeed the case.

He is no longer young and calm and elegant, that kind of playboy-like freshness, as if he was suddenly sucked away by something, what remains in him now is a tired tranquility.

But indeed, when the king was seriously ill and An Hexuan had to compete for the throne with his elder brother whom he had always respected, those pressures might really change a person completely.

"Long time no see." Turning around, An Hexuan smiled.

Realizing that my gaze might be a little presumptuous, I quickly turned my eyes, "Hey, it must have been three or four years? To be honest... I think you have changed."

Silently, An Hexuan stared at me for a moment, I thought he might be observing me just like me.

"...nothing stays the same," he said eventually. "I was shocked when you contacted me and even spoke to me the same way you used to."

"Huh? How do you say it?" What An Hexuan said was something I had never thought of.

"It's nothing, I just think it's very valuable. To be honest, I haven't met my former friends for a long time. In fact, this meeting with you was actually said suddenly when I was thinking. I didn't expect you Will agree, and even didn't refuse later." Looking over with a smile, An Hexuan still smiled, but it was a completely different smile from usual, "I think I have to thank you."

"To be precise, I should be the one thanking you." I didn't expect that An Hexuan would talk to me so much. He gave me the feeling that a lady who had been locked at home for half a year and was not allowed to go out was suddenly arrested. Tell you that you can go out and play for a day.

The vehicle drove straight to the central area of ​​the capital, where the driver was stopped, and An Hexuan opened the door first.

"I thought I would go straight to the palace, but here I am, why, want to play?" Walking to An Hexuan, I asked him like this.

It's strange, the same person I used to know, but when I face An Hexuan, my feeling is completely different.

"I heard that Dongrong is still with you now." After walking away, An Hexuan turned his head, "I asked you out, didn't he say anything?"

An Hexuan's expression was calm, but I was puzzled.

Is that what he meant by "together"?Where does this "heard" come from?

"No, I have already broken up with him, so of course he can't say anything." An Hexuan can be said to be one of the few people I know well with Xie Dongrong who knows about our relationship. I feel a bit a little bit clarified with him now. Excuse me.

"Hahaha," An Hexuan smiled slightly, with a triumphant smile on his face, "I mean, you are living together now, right?"

"They got arranged together somehow." Shrugged, "Roommate."

"Oh?" An Hexuan stroked his chin, "Is that so?"

Xie Dongrong, as an acquaintance of An Hexuan and I, has become one of the few common topics at the moment. I noticed that An Hexuan called Xie Dongrong. Since he still calls him "Dongrong", does this mean that there is something in his heart? , still regard Xie Dongrong as a good friend?

"I thought you were still in touch with Xie Dongrong." After thinking for a while, I finally planned to bring up this topic.
