Young detective case book

Da da da, da da da... like the soles of the feet scraping the ground.

who is in the living room

Is anyone else awake like him?

After thinking about it for a while, Ou Yuchen immediately realized something was wrong.

No matter who it is, during this time period, if they see that the lights are still on in the kitchen, they will definitely come in and take a look.

If it doesn't look like a family member, then who could it be?

Could it be a thief?

This thought made Ou Yuchen tense immediately, clutching the water glass, pricking up his ears, and listening carefully.

In addition to the sound of footsteps, there was also a rustling sound, as if the clothes were rubbing against the wall.

It wasn't that he was hallucinating, someone was indeed in the living room!

And he was so confident that he didn't mean to avoid making noise at all.

What kind of intruder is this?

So unscrupulous, so daring? !

With awe in his heart, Ou Yuchen held his breath cautiously, quietly put down the water glass, his eyes wandered around the kitchen, then grabbed the bottle of chili powder on the countertop, and gently unscrewed the lid.

This thing looks inconspicuous, but in close combat, it is much more effective than a kitchen knife.

It is very suitable for sneak attack - and the sneak attack, to be honest, is more in line with Ou Yuchen's behavior pattern of "minimizing effort to win maximum victory".

Tiptoing towards the door, Ou Yuchen cautiously poked his head around and looked into the living room.

In the dim and ambiguous light of the wall lamp, what caught the pupil was a familiar figure.

Dry, thin, like a stunted big kid.

He was surprised at first, and then heaved a long sigh of relief. He threw the chili bottle on the cooking table next to him, lowered his voice, and greeted, "Suye! What are you doing?"

Suye didn't answer, nor did he make any reaction.

Ou Yuchen greeted him twice, but Suye still didn't answer.

Ou Yuchen immediately noticed his strangeness.

Suye took one step at a time, walking straight towards the entrance.

The expression on his face and the way he walked made people feel frightened. It was definitely not the posture that a "living person" should have.

The arms hang limply on the sides of the body, and there is no movement of swinging the arms at all.

The slender feet, slightly blued by the light, moved mechanically, with stiff and dull movements, like zombies or marionettes in movies.

"Suye?" Ou Yuchen raised his voice slightly, and called out again.

Obviously deaf ears, Su Ye didn't respond at all.

What is he doing with the plane?Ou Yuchen was puzzled, and walked quickly to his side.

Su Ye's half-open eyes were dull and frozen, without focus at all.

The face is rigid and flat, as dull as a sculpture.

Of course, he usually doesn't have any expression, but he's not like this vivid zombie.

It seemed familiar, as if someone had seen this "living dead" appearance before.

After thinking and recalling for a few seconds, Ou Yuchen suddenly realized that his heart skipped half a beat, but it immediately started beating wildly again.

one ear!

This is what happens when one ear sleepwalks!

It turned out that he was sleepwalking!

Slightly exhaling, Ou Yuchen called out again: "Suye."

Suye didn't respond as a matter of course. He had already walked to the door, grabbed the door handle, and turned it mechanically. Da da, da da, da da... the door was opened.

Ou Yuchen had some experience in dealing with sleepwalking patients, so without thinking, he stretched out his hand to stop his next move.

Close the half-open door first, and then grab Suye's arm with his backhand. Worrying that it might frighten him, he didn't dare to use too much force. He just tugged lightly and called out in a low voice, "Suye, wake up, wake up. Awake."

After barking several times in succession, Suye blinked and suddenly yawned.

Turning his head blankly, he looked at him blankly, his eyes were loose, without focus at all, full of fragile confusion.

"You're sleepwalking." Ou Yuchen explained warmly, raising his eyebrows.

With this small movement, he carefully and successfully concealed the flash of emotion in his pupils.

He would never have dreamed that Suye also had sleepwalking.

Ou Yuchen's initial knowledge of sleepwalking came from one ear.

One ear was undoubtedly part of his dark childhood memories.

Because the impression was so deep, the word "sleepwalking" accumulated in the bottom of his heart like black asphalt residue.

No matter how time goes by, how time changes, it has not been lost, but has been stranded and deposited there.

No doubt he had witnessed the misfortune of One Ear.

Therefore, he knew very well how dangerous sleepwalking was.

A few years ago, he had read a news report that a man chopped off the heads of his wife and children while sleepwalking.

That person just instinctively repeated the action of cutting watermelon in his dream.

The police investigated for a long time before they found out that he was the murderer.

Because when he was awake, he didn't know what he was doing in his sleepwalking, and he acted too innocent and distraught.

No one would have thought that he was the murderer, including himself.

Ou Yuchen thought, what would have happened if he hadn't stopped Suye just now and walked out of the house with his eyes open but actually couldn't see anything?

Like a baby in swaddling, he has no resistance to thieves, robbers, passing cars and pedestrians, which is tantamount to suicide.

This is really, really surprising, and too surprising!

He could feel his heart throbbing slightly because of the sudden excitement.

Unfortunately, the timing was wrong.

At least, Suye can't have any accidents right now.

He remembered Song Bo's phone call, and his resentment towards Ji Jiaze increased.

Staring blankly at Ou Yuchen, she was stunned for half a minute. Suye finally came back to her senses, pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Quickly adjusted his facial expression——Ou Yuchen frowned slightly, and said in an annoyed tone: "What you need to do is not to apologize, but to explain."

He believes that his performance at this time is 100% perfect, even the Oscar winner would be ashamed of himself.

Suye stared blankly at him with an innocent face.

Ou Yuchen added, "Your reaction tells me that this is not the first time you sleepwalk. Since you already know that you have sleepwalking, don't you think you should have told us earlier?"

Su Ye still stared at him silently.

Maybe it was the soft and ambiguous lighting, maybe it was the ambiguous atmosphere of the dark night, but the fragile and confused expression on Suye's face made Ou Yuchen feel a rare warmth like pity.

So he showed a tender smile and asked suddenly, "Are you afraid?"

Seemingly surprised to hear such a question, Su Ye's dark eyes were suddenly filled with confusion, and he looked even more bewildered.

"You don't have to be afraid anymore, because I'm by your side." Ou Yuchen's voice rang in his ears.

As always, the gorgeous and mellow voice, like glass beads colliding gently, struck Suye's heart like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning.

***

His whole body was stiff, and Suye's whole body was tense.

Lying on the bed, he couldn't sleep at all.He didn't know how things would turn into the current situation.

In the darkness, the young man's slender and tall body is like Michelangelo's most perfect work, lying beside him, which really shows his existence.

There is only a few centimeters between them, and they are within reach.

Ou Yuchen breathed lightly and shallowly, spraying on his neck, soft and itchy, like a small brush with burrs, brushing over his sensitive and fragile nerves.

"You don't have to be afraid anymore, because I'm by your side." After saying this, Ou Yuchen held Suye's shoulders and exerted a little strength to make Suye feel just the right amount of pain.

It was as if he wanted to inject courage and strength into his body through this posture.

Looking directly into Su Ye's eyes, Ou Yuchen gazed at him tenderly with that clear and pity look, "I understand your helplessness and your pain.

I have also had the same mood as you, the same pain and helplessness.

At that time, I was just a child.

However, those cruel people will not bully you, torture you, or hurt you just because you are a child. "

The desolation and anger in his voice were too distinct, Suye looked at him in surprise.

Ou Yuchen tilted his head, bent his beautiful eyes, and smiled slightly, "At that time, I told myself that fear was useless, and no one would show me the slightest bit of pity because I was afraid.

Since no one loves me in this world, I must love myself well.

No one cherishes me, I have to cherish myself.

I'm going to try to be strong, stronger, and I'm going to have enough strength to protect myself. "

"Ou Yuchen..." Suye couldn't help muttering.

"Seeing you is like seeing me when I was a child.

Confused and helpless, I long for a strong arm that I can rely on, even if it's just for a short while, so that I won't be so afraid and not so tired. With both hands, Ou Yuchen pressed Suye's head into his arms gently but not to be refused, "So, you don't have to support it alone anymore, I will take care of you and protect you. "

Through the thin and soft nightgown, the beating heartbeat can be heard in the ears.

That was the sound of Ou Yuchen's heartbeat, solid, powerful, determined, and calm, which made him feel an inexplicable impulse to get closer and listen carefully.

At this moment, Suye felt that something was stuffed into the chest cavity, filling it up to the brim.

"Suye, I will protect you." Ou Yuchen repeated again, his firm words were like an oath.

It was as if something cold and hard had burst open in his head.

The indescribable complex emotions, like overwhelming tides, overwhelmed Su Ye in an instant, and he was dazed, stupid, and dizzy.

He wants to protect him?He told him that he would protect him?

What a beautiful and palpitating language this is.

By the time Suye regained his sanity, Ou Yuchen had already brought him back to his room.

Ou Yuchen said, "Trust me, I know how to cure your sleepwalking.

Let's share the same bed, I am a light sleeper, as long as you get up, I will find out immediately and wake you up as soon as possible. "
