[Twilight] Give me sunshine

Joan didn't know how to introduce Caius to Tan Yi, maybe he already knew the story between them, she faintly felt that he was hostile to Caius, but she couldn't tell where this hostility came from. come.

She nodded towards Caius, not knowing what to do for a moment.It's not appropriate to leave with Caius and go back to the hotel. She just met Tan Yi, and she felt sorry for leaving him alone immediately after she left.But to stay here, how should Caius arrange it?He came to China with her. Could it be possible to let him go with Tan's family?Regardless of whether Tan Yi agreed or not, even Caius would not be willing.

"Tan Yi, when do you plan to go to Seattle?"

Holding a steaming water glass in his hand, Tan Yi was sitting on the edge of the sofa. He seemed to be a little sleepy because of his illness, but he insisted on going on with her: "I can do it anytime, just make arrangements for you."

Joan could see that he was not feeling well today, and the wind was blowing downstairs just now, and the human body is always weaker, so she stopped bothering him: "Why don't you rest for a while, and I will come to you tomorrow? "

"Where do you live?"

"...in the hotel next to the community."

"You two?"

"kindness."

"A room?"

"kindness."

"..."

Tan Yi supported his forehead with a headache: "You tell him to come up."

"……it is good."

×××

How did the situation become like this? Joan couldn't tell for a while, but when she realized it, the three of them were already in this state.

Tan Yi was sitting on a double sofa on one side, wearing home clothes, holding a teacup, rubbing his hands constantly, even though he looked a little sick, he still sat between Joan and Caius, drinking water with a blank expression on his face .

Caius still had that haughty look, standing by the door with his hands propped up, clutching Joan's wrist tightly, frowning, neither speaking nor moving.

She was stuck between the two of them. If she walked away, the two of them might look into each other's eyes. If she didn't leave, she would feel very uncomfortable.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, seeing that they were not ready to change, she let go of Caius' hand holding her. No matter what his expression was, she walked to the sofa and easily pulled Tan Yi up, half pushing and half pushing her hand in. In the room, I pressed him to sit on the bed, leaving a sentence of 'have a good rest. ’ So he walked out in a rebellious manner, closed the door, and left him in silence.

Caius was still standing there, looking at her with raised eyebrows, and had no intention of walking in by himself.Joan sighed, walked up to him, took his hand, pushed him to sit on the sofa, and stood in front of him with bent hands, looking down at him.

"We'll stay here for one night and return to Seattle the day after tomorrow."

Caius didn't seem to be interested in what she said, but asked something else: "Have you been here all night?"

"Well, Tan Yi is my friend in China, and I'm here to look for him this time." Joan suddenly thought of what Tan Yi said, looked down at Caius and asked, "When did you come?"

"You haven't been gone long."

"Did you hear our conversation?"

"a little."

Joan was slightly confused, and responded cautiously: "What did you hear?"

Speaking of this, Caius spoke in a bad tone instead, stood up and looked at her at the same level, with sparks in his eyes: "Probably, I feel better with you, or something."

What Caius said was not what he was worried about, and Joan breathed a sigh of relief, so he didn't take his emotional part to heart for a while, nodded to himself, and then sat aside with a book in his hands. on the sofa.

"I think I need an explanation." Caius put his hands on the armrests on both sides of her, pursed his lips, and his displeasure was clearly written on his face, "You came to China specifically to find him?"

"...That's right."

"Who is he?"

"A friend who grew up together, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

"friend?"

"Otherwise?" Joan was puzzled by the question Caius asked. He didn't know where the hostility with Tan Yi came from, and the two seemed to be at odds when they met.

"..."

Although he didn't seem to agree with the answer, he didn't say anything else, looking at the quiet and closed door, he leaned on Joan in satisfaction.His right hand was gently wrapped around her waist, and his left hand was placed on her lap, in a comfortable and natural posture.

I was worried that things might be over, but Caius seemed to come here just to surround her and not play anything. Joan thought about it, and asked him casually while reading a book: "It's your first time in China, what do you want to do?" place?"

"I don't know much about China."

Hearing what he said, Joan became interested instead: "What impression do you have of China?"

"Probably silk, porcelain or something."

...It really is not a person of the same era.

"It's a pity that there are many delicacies in China that you can't eat."

Caius rubbed against her neck, "I think I've tasted it."

"That's right, you went hunting two days ago, so it can be regarded as... an indirect taste."

"..."

Caius didn't speak, his eyes closed like a delicate sculpture, and the two fell silent for a while.Joan thought of Tan Yi who was resting in the room. He followed them to Seattle, trying to find the possible crossing route. time issue.

But if one day, there are only two sharp choices before her, whether to return or not to return, what kind of judgment will she make?If she returns home and returns to her own world, she will leave all the dangers and fears, and she will also leave the Karen family and Caius.Everything in front of her was just a dream in the garden of her life, and it became empty in a blink of an eye.Even if Caius was so close to her at this moment, she would suddenly become far away when she thought of going home.

If she chooses to stay, she will also be sad for the family who disappeared from her life in another world.

No matter which choice she chooses, it will be a pain for her.But Tan Yi was not the one who brought her this kind of pain, he just pulled this possibility in front of her in advance, and put the problem that she dared not face and thought about for a long time before her eyes. , gently persuading her to make a choice.

She couldn't help but want to retreat and escape, and push these choices until it was inevitable, maybe she could give herself an answer.

"Caius, do you believe that there is an exit in this world, if you go out, you will never come back."

"Maybe." Caius raised his head, pressed Joan into his arms instead, kissed her black hair, and sighed with half-opened eyes.

"But you have already walked in through the entrance, as long as I destroy the exit."

"This road is blocked, don't think about leaving."
