Vodai Ecstasy

23

Something seemed different, Daiyu thought in a daze.

The fluorescent blue galaxy was still floating on the ceiling. When the boy opened the door again and walked in, she wanted to reach out to turn on the light, but the boy's pale knuckles were faster, with a hint of irresistibility, and she pressed down on it first. on the lamp socket.

Obviously she couldn't touch anything, but she backed away like a fire.

In fact, it was better this way, in the silence, she seemed to be able to see the boy's face more clearly, pale and thin, with a pair of black pupils far deeper than the night sky above.

There reflected her image like a lake.

It wasn't the first time she saw herself in his eyes, but this time, she had an inexplicable urge to escape.

More frightening than when he got mad at himself for no apparent reason at the carnival.

Facing this boy from another world, she felt really flustered for the first time.

The ghost stood up from the somewhat suffocating silence, and quietly took a few steps back to the window sill.The boy sat in her original position calmly, and looked at her with a smile on his cheek.

The girl took a deep breath, turned her face away and said, "What are you doing sitting and not talking? Could it be that you came here in the middle of the night to see my joke?"

"What joke do you have to read?" The boy's smile didn't loosen at all, and seeing the other's smoky eyebrows seem to be furrowed in annoyance, he slowly added: "I didn't find out until today, but you have been Look at my jokes... look at me like this, is it funny?"

As if to match this sentence, he put his two fingers against his cheeks and forcefully squeezed out a clown-like smile.

Daiyu didn't smile, she just glanced lightly, then unconsciously grabbed her handkerchief: "... I don't remember that I became a thief, what did I steal and cheat you?" thing?"

The boy put his hands down, and there was no smile in his dark eyes: "For you?" He couldn't help laughing again: "...How dare I."

Riddle finally stood up slowly, his face completely covered by shadows.

It wasn't until the boy approached her side that Daiyu realized in horror that she hadn't been able to run away.

The starlight could not penetrate the boy's body, but the moonlight selflessly dripped into his shirt, neckline, protruding Adam's apple, and fell on his cold lips.

He repeated in a low voice: "How dare I."

The boy lowered his head and opened his hands, wrapping the ghost into his arms. The girl seemed to be so shocked that he didn't know how to react. Riddle didn't look at her. Through the obviously stiff translucent body, he watched his hands successfully overlap behind her waist.

With warm air.

The moonlight is just right, and the sea of ​​stars in the room is brilliant.The slender young man embraced the exotic soul quietly. He obviously had no sense of touch, but he persisted in maintaining this absurd movement.

After a long time, he sighed softly and said, "Don't go anymore."

The words falling like feathers were like thunder in spring, and the girl woke up suddenly. She hurriedly took a few steps back and escaped into the moonlight outside the window.

Riddle put down his hands, wondering if it was because the soul under the moon looked too dazzling, he narrowed his eyes slightly:

"Is it ridiculous that I am like this?"

"You are really crazy, you just tease me with such nonsense." The girl clenched her lips, as if she was about to be forced to cry.

The young man smiled again, different from his usual self-satisfied smile, the real emotion seemed to be rubbed into the smile for the first time, his whole face looked inexplicable under the moonlight: "Magic can't keep you, lies can keep you." I can't keep you, I can't keep you, Lin...what do you want me to do?"

The person on the opposite side was speechless, and he continued on his own: "I had a dream, Lin."

He turned his face away and said softly: "I dreamed that I was standing on a cliff. Below the cliff was a bustling harbor. Dark clouds were pressing down on the city. The wind was strong, but the seabirds were shouting... I looked down, you are alone Standing on the pier, wearing a white wedding dress, we are far away, I still saw you at a glance, but you didn't look at me, and boarded the big boat behind you alone."

"...What happened next?" The girl couldn't help asking after all.

"Later?" Riddle chuckled: "I couldn't make a sound, and I couldn't fly. I wanted to run towards you, but when I lifted my leg, I fell into the black sea."

"...you're lying again," the girl frowned and replied, "Is this temper irreversible?"

The boy finally couldn't help laughing out loud, his voice was piercing and shrill, he covered half of his face with his hands, as if trying to calm himself down.After a while, he raised his head, his crooked eyes were full of exotic ghosts: "...Lin, sometimes I really wish you weren't so smart."

His response was still silence.

"I didn't chase you, I didn't shout, I stood on the cliff, when the rain started, the boat raised its sails and left, and then it was swept into the sea."

"This kind of dream... there is nothing to say."

"I just feel... I am also that sea."

There was silence.

After a long time, the girl sighed softly: "Why bother."

"Then what can I do?" The young man laughed a little self-deprecatingly, his eyes became colder and colder: "I only know that I will never let you go."

Daiyu turned her face away, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid you've lost your mind."

"Then will you be responsible?"

"You man," the ghost frowned again, and turned around angrily, "I only know how to talk nonsense all day long, so I won't talk to you anymore."

But the boy laughed. He climbed out of the window sill and sat on the sloping roof. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the cool air under the moonlight.

The ghost couldn't help but quietly looked at the young man under the moon. With his eyes closed, he lost a lot of his usual hostility, and his marble-like facial features became more indescribably holy and beautiful under the moonlight.

As if feeling her gaze, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, and the look of the other party hurriedly looking away fell into his eyes exactly.

He just smiled silently: "Is the moonlight beautiful?"

The girl looked at the night sky, but did not answer his words: "The night is windy, you are dressed so thin... If you catch a cold, you should blame me."

"Then you come with me, or I'll just sit here."

After a while, he added lightly: "You won't let me freeze to death here."

"Who cares about you," the girl suddenly became annoyed by such firm words, she turned around and wanted to leave the other party, but suddenly found that the boy's eyes had been fixed on her.

Only her in those eyes.

Daiyu suddenly froze.

Something is really different.

The boy who always wore a mask made her see undisguised longing and love for the first time in those obsidian pupils.

Nord couldn't sleep no matter what tonight.

Not surprisingly, he hadn't had a good night's sleep when it came to Carnival day.My heart is always empty, like a big piece has been gouged out.

He woke up in the alley next to the Hogsmeade tavern that day. It was snowing and the carnival crowd was loud, but he felt that the sounds seemed to come from another world.

Why did he fall asleep there? His body smelled of alcohol, and there were all kinds of strangely shaped wine bottle fragments scattered at his feet. He tried to stand up with his sore body, but accidentally pressed a few pieces of broken glass with his palm.

The body paralyzed by alcohol felt the pain very slowly, and he didn't realize what he had just pressed until he looked at the bright red in his hand.

Terrible headache.

The large and small fragments on the ground reflected his distressed appearance. His head was broken, and many fragments were still hanging on his clothes reluctantly. Together with the warm blood, they slowly condensed in the icy air.

Seems to be the undesired aftermath of being drunk.

But he couldn't remember why he was so drunk.

I just feel so distressed that I'm about to explode.

A few wizards passing by at the entrance of the alley looked at him twice, as if they regarded him as a wandering and down-and-out wizard, and with the attitude that more things are worse than less things, no one came to help him.

That's fine too.

If he looks like this, if he is found to be a student, he will probably be expelled directly.

The cold and the burgeoning pain made it almost impossible for him to stand, but he finally managed to grab his wand and pull himself together.

Malfoy didn't seem to be surprised by his late return and injury, but he was always so indifferent, and Nord didn't think much about it, and lay directly on his bed.

He seemed to have had many complicated dreams, but when he woke up in a panic, he forgot everything completely.

None of this is normal.

Nord sat up from the bed again. Thanks to the magic potion, the wounds on his body were already healed. The fire in the room was burning, so he put on his cloak and slipped out without a sound.

This wasn't the first time Nord had done this, and he never really listened to the headmaster's repeated orders not to hang around the school at night.After all, he only obeys the rules that are beneficial to him, and this kind of thinking is very common in Slytherin.

The moonlight was just right in the corridor, so he climbed up to the attic and hid himself in the shadow of the corridor.

He doesn't like it here, it's the first time he's been here since the incident with Olivia.There was deathly silence all around, except for the howling wind in the fields.

He could have saved Olivia, but Riddle...

Whether he shows up or not, that ending doesn't change.Angelik had clearly warned him not to meddle in his own business that day. Obviously, Riddle's illness was just a cover, and Riddle was the last hole card hidden in the shadows. He would not allow any accidents in his plan.

But why did Riddle find Olivia?

He didn't know this girl well, the only connection between them was the ghost who had disappeared, but if it was because of the ghost, why was he let go again, was it because he had never been able to really get close to the oriental girl?

Nord felt like his head was about to explode.

After a long time, just before he was about to be completely frozen, he slowly stood up.

Suddenly, there was a sound of very light footsteps from downstairs.

Things seem to be going better than expected.

Perhaps thanks to that spell, Daiyu followed him back to school without any resistance, except that she frowned when walking through the secret passage.

It was just a small movement, and Riddle didn't even know why he caught it, and remembered this expression in his heart.

Everything tonight was a bit out of the ordinary, but not too overwhelming.

He only remembered that he had cast a spell, which lasted for one day, but he couldn't remember what the content of the spell was.

But it doesn't matter anymore, he trusts his own judgment.

No one saw them, not even the gatekeeper opened the door for them without opening his eyes.It wasn't until after entering his room that the quiet girl whispered, "Tom, how many things have you kept from me?"

There was blame in the voice, but no anger.

"a lot of."

He shrugged and handed her another book, the one he remembered she was reading the night before she left:

"What do you remember?"

"I've been here before."

"What else?"

The boy took off his robe leisurely, and sat down beside the bed without hesitation.

Ghost frowned again. After a long time, she finally shook her head.

"I really didn't tell you a lot."

The boy's frankness tonight made it difficult for Daiyu to adapt, but the other party didn't mind: "You have been to this school, most of the people here, including those portrait ghosts, know you, so I don't want to bring you here, they will Take you from me."

"I'm not an item." The girl frowned.

Riddle didn't seem to hear her rebuttal: "Can you still remember what I said when I found you?"

Daiyu turned her head to look at the dark green curtains that were hanging down, and sighed softly: "Isn't this what you are most afraid of that I will forget?...I will stay here, and you help me find the past."

"Your past can be found here."

Her heart seemed to be clenched tightly, but she unconsciously took a step back, afraid that this was another lie from him.

"I didn't lie." This time he was the one who saw through her first. The boy tugged at his somewhat awkward tie, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will honor what I said."

Emotions surged up like a tide, the girl grabbed Sipa tightly, but suddenly sneered: "If I left just now, you are planning to hide this secret forever?"

"That just means you don't need me."

Daiyu smiled even colder: "It's true... I thought too much. Then why are you not afraid of me leaving now?"

"You won't go."

The boy's voice could not hear a trace of waves:

"Because you're in love with me too, aren't you?"
