Aromatherapy

Li Xinyun was already a little dizzy, he saw Chen Hongting standing in front of him, under the changing lights of the bar, he looked more like a scene in a dream without any sense of reality, full of a void, ethereal, Feeling far away, Li Xinyun said in a low voice: "Chen Hongting..."

His voice was drowned out by loud music.

Li Xinyun drank the rest of the wine in the glass, and he just thought that Chen Hongting was an illusion—it must be an illusion, it shouldn't be real, Li Xinyun thought a little bit ecstatically due to the smell of alcohol.Fu Wen next to him was still lying on the table in a weird posture. He got up and wanted to help Fu Wen up to get him back, but because he got up too hard, the alcohol quickly rushed to his head, so after standing up, there was a bruise on his legs. Li Xinyun thought he was going to fall to the ground, but he fell into a very soft embrace, and was surrounded by a pair of strong arms around his waist.

It was Chen Hongting's illusion that turned into reality.

Li Xinyun struggled to stand up, he wanted to push Chen Hongting away, but lost his strength because of the alcohol that had evaporated into every pore, he murmured: "Chen Hongting, why are you always so... always so haunted scattered."

Chen Hongting bowed his head and kissed the top of his head, and said softly: "Ayun, you are drunk, I will take you back."

It seems that Li Xinyun's tongue, lips and teeth have been softened by alcohol, unable to form words. The word "don't" rolled on the tip of his tongue, and finally melted on the tip of his tongue, and swallowed it into his throat again, swallowed together with the alcohol. In the stomach.He put his hand on Chen Hongting's shoulder, trying to push it away, but because he couldn't use the strength, it finally looked more like some kind of lingering hug.

Chen Hongting held his waist and held him in his arms. He seemed to turn his head to the side and was still talking to others. Li Xinyun vaguely heard him explaining: "Pay Fu Wen's account."

Li Xinyun is actually not a person who is good at drinking. Fu Wen made these wines not only expensive, but also high in strength. Although he didn't drink much, once the stamina of the wine came up, people became dull in an instant.Li Xinyun slowly fell into an unusually chaotic feeling. He felt as if he was stepping on a cloud and would fall from the sky at any time, which made him feel afraid and panicked, so he searched for support very uneasy, in a In the vast clouds and mist, he saw a bitter orange tree, so he hugged the tree tightly. There were many white flowers blooming on the tree, exuding a distant, bitter, and feeling An extremely reassuring aroma.

Gradually, all the clouds and mist dissipated, and Li Xinyun found that he was still sitting under the bitter orange tree, but the bitter orange tree was located in a smoky and overgrown courtyard.

Li Xinyun knew what this place was, and he hadn't recalled this place for a long time.

When he first arrived in Jiuqiao Town, he still couldn't integrate into the family of his adoptive mother's relatives.Although in fact the relatives are not harsh on him materially, but to be honest, it is too difficult for them to accept Li Xinyun emotionally. Li Xinyun was originally a temporary host, and he is a half-year-old, and it is very difficult to get along with him. It's embarrassment, so Li Xinyun often looks superfluous there.

So Li Xinyun often wandered outside after school and during vacations. He visited almost every corner of Jiuqiao Town by himself.Jiuqiao Town is a somewhat backward town. There are not many cars in the town. There is only one place that is very different from this town, and that is the "haunted house" in the town.

It's called a "haunted house," but the reason this place doesn't look right for the town is because it's a mansion.At first glance, it looked like the residence of a certain rich family in the old days. It had a gorgeous appearance even though it was old, a large courtyard with wild smoke and grass that had not been taken care of for a long time, and there was even a small lake and rockery in the courtyard.It's just because no one has lived in this mansion for a long time, so the walls have been covered with vines, which looks abnormally gloomy. The naughty child turned in to explore, maybe he played too crazy, or maybe he was bitten by some insects, so he went home When I had a fever, the adults probably said that there were ghosts in it in order to scare the children. Later, it was gradually passed on as a "haunted house".

Li Xinyun was wandering around with nothing to do, and had already stepped on every corner of the town, so he was not afraid of those rumors of ghosts, so he secretly climbed over the wall and entered.He even thought that it would be nice if there was a ghost, if the ghost wanted his life, he would give it to him, and if he didn't, then it would be nice to talk to him together.

There is a bitter orange tree in the yard, the flowers bloom very well, and it looks very beautiful in the wild grass, so when Li Xinyun wanders outside, he often turns into the yard, reads or sleeps under the bitter orange tree, However, Li Xinyun has never encountered a ghost, and has always been sitting alone under the tree in a daze.

Ah, no.

He wasn't always alone.

Someone once sat with him under this tree, watching the sunset sink into the mountain little by little, and watch the moon climb up to Tianxin little by little.

But... but who is it?Li Xinyun couldn't remember anyway.

Everything disappeared in front of his eyes, and Li Xinyun fell into a cloud of mist again. At this moment, he couldn't even find the bitter orange tree that he could rely on. Falling down in the air, the weightlessness of the rapid fall made him panic, he stretched out his hands and scratched around, trying to find some kind of support, and then he finally caught it.

But the thing he grasped didn't seem to want to give him support. He kept trying to pull Li Xinyun's hand away, but Li Xinyun was like a drowning man clung to a driftwood that could support him, embracing him tightly, refusing to let go.

"Ayun..."

Li Xinyun heard a gentle, sad, and light sigh like fluttering catkins, which fell on his heart together with his name. Li Xinyun's throat called out a name before his brain: "Chen Hongting——"

Before the name was finished, the feather that fell on his heart fell on his lips, covering his voice.Then he felt another gentle rain falling from the sky, falling on his eyebrows, his lips, his neck, and even his chest, as if it was going to drown him.

——No, that's not rain, but a dense kiss.

Li Xinyun finally pushed through the cloud and saw Chen Hongting's face, which seemed to coincide with some memory fragments that he could no longer remember.Chen Hongting looked at him with deep eyes, his hand stroked Li Xinyun's face, brushed his brows and lips in an ambiguous way, like a kiss, and called Li Xinyun's name very emotionally: "Ah Yun." Then he kissed again, this time the kiss was no longer like the gentle rain falling from the sky, but a violent storm like the Milky Way pouring down.

Li Xinyun was still in the clouds and mist, but he never fell from the sky again, but fell into an embrace full of bitter orange fragrance, into a lingering dream of Youyun and Yuyu.

When Li Xinyun woke up from this dream, what he saw was a very familiar room decoration.

It is the bedroom of Chen's villa.

Li Xinyun was stunned for a moment.

His brain still had the dull ache after a hangover, and it took him a while to remember what had happened.

It's a pity that Li Xinyun is not the kind of person who forgets everything that happened after he got drunk, except that he didn't have any memory on the way from the bar to Chen's villa because he fell asleep, and he still clearly remembers everything else— —Including how when he was unconscious and slow thinking, when Chen Hongting wanted to put him on the bed to rest, he tightly held Chen Hongting's neck and did not allow him to leave; and how he let him go Alcohol and desire erode one's sanity, and become entangled with Chen Hongting.

He was still wearing Chen Hongting's clothes, and the bruises on the neckline that could not be covered up showed Li Xinyun's absurdity and unbearableness last night.

Chen Hongting was not next to him, Li Xinyun looked around and found Chen Hongting on the phone on the balcony.

Li Xinyun got out of bed, his body was still a little limp, and he walked to the balcony with bare feet.I don't know who he is calling, his expression is very indifferent, Li Xinyun approached the door of the terrace, only to hear Chen Hongting saying: "...Let him go, he is Lin Jingxian's son, there are some whispers between father and son , isn't that normal?"

It was the first time for Li Xinyun to see Chen Hongting's appearance other than in front of him.

In front of Li Xinyun, even when the truth is exposed, he still looks like he just wants to be a gentle and affectionate perfect lover. Li Xinyun has never seen Chen Hongting's indifference, he looks like a Although the sculptures carved from ice and snow look extremely beautiful, they lack any warmth and vitality.

Chen Hongting felt Li Xinyun's gaze, looked at Li Xinyun, the indifferent expression on his face disappeared immediately, the statue carved from ice and snow seemed to melt instantly, and it was specially made for Li Xinyun, he took it On the phone, he walked towards Li Xinyun and asked with a smile, "Why did you wake up so early?" He walked into the bedroom, took a thin blanket, and draped it over Li Xinyun's shoulders naturally. Blanket, "How do you feel? You drank quite a lot yesterday, how do you feel? Do you have a headache? I asked Aunt Lan to make hangover soup."

Chen Hongting looked peaceful, as if those disputes had never occurred between them, and they were still a pair of ordinary lovers.But they tacitly didn't mention everything about last night.

"How did you know where I was yesterday?" Li Xinyun brushed his hand away, "Are you still sending someone to follow me?"

Li Xinyun was thinking before, whether Chen Hongting really didn't send anyone to follow him, or just did it more covertly, but after today, he was sure, it was obviously the latter.

"Ayun, I just don't want you to have an accident. You just listen to me for the last time, and when this case is over..." Chen Hongting lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes covered all the emotions in his eyes, "Just be with me As you said, we owe nothing to each other."
