sunk in yesterday

At this time, Xia Zhuo couldn't see that Mrs. Bai was a fool for deliberately alienating him and Guan Yuzhou.But facing his doubts, Guan Yuzhou just shook his head, denying what Xia Zhuo saw with his own eyes.

"You lied to me." Xia Zhuo obviously didn't believe it. After returning to the room with him, he was still muttering, "Didn't you quarrel? Then why do you seem to have a worse relationship than strangers when you meet now?"

Guan Yuzhou locked the door, took out the souvenir book and put it on the table, "Why did you lie to me?"

Xia Zhuo squinted his eyes, sat cross-legged on the bed with his shoes on, and looked at Guan Yuzhou's side face, which was still flipping the pages of paper, and the latter also let him look at it frankly, and asked, "Does it look good? "

Xia Zhuo blurted out: "It looks good."

He thought that Guan Yuzhou really had no reason to hide anything from him.Asking him to worry about Guan Yuzhou and Mrs. Bai is simply eating carrots and worrying about them.He had never seen the two of them quarreling. Companions like them, who could tell each other's intentions with their eyes, had no reason to get into an argument without saying a word.

So why so suddenly?

Thinking further along this line of thought, Xia Zhuo became much calmer.His voice was a little firm: "If you really didn't have any unpleasant things happen, it means that you are planning something secretly, so you have to put on a look of estrangement."

Guan Yuzhou laughed twice without raising his head: "So smart?"

When Xia Zhuo heard his words, she knew that she had guessed correctly.But the joy of being praised has not yet flooded, but dissatisfaction: "Then what are you planning? Can't you tell me?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but that there's no need to tell you." Guan Yuzhou closed the book, pulled a stool and sat on the edge of the bed to face Xia Zhuo.The muscles on his face were not as cold and hard as they were outside the house during the day, but instead showed a softness, "It's good that you are like this now, I don't want you to participate too much in some things."

"What do you mean by that..." Xia Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized, "I know."

Guan Yuzhou hesitated to speak, but finally said: "You don't need to do anything."

The eyes of the two intertwined, Xia Zhuo raised the corners of her lips, and smiled brightly: "Although I am happy to eat free food, maybe I am not as weak as you think."

"Well, I know." Guan Yuzhou also relaxed, and stretched out his arms to him, as if he wanted to touch the top of his hair, but stopped in mid-air.

This movement was very casual, as if a habit had evolved into a natural one, Guan Yuzhou stopped immediately after realizing this.But before he retracted his hand, his palm felt soft—Xia Zhuo raised his head and bumped into his palm.

The unexpected thing made Guan Yuzhou's pupils tremble, and he was about to shrink back.But Xia Zhuo grabbed his wrist instead, and pressed his palm to her again with a little force, because her body resisted the closeness of others, her words trembled a little: "Wait a minute..."

His breathing was a little messy, so fast that he seemed to be a little confused, and he didn't know his name at all.

The strength in that small arm was no match for Guan Yuzhou.Guan Yuzhou also understood that if he really wanted to pull out his hand, Xia Zhuo couldn't stop him at all, but he froze there with his arms stiff.He looked at Xia Zhuo's expression and began to struggle, but he seemed to greedily absorb the soft touch, and then touched the other's hair again and again.

"Xia Zhuo."

He called softly.

Guan Yuzhou's originally relaxed expression was gradually replaced by worry, and the muscles of his clenched cheeks bulged slightly, as if he was on the verge of an explosion, but the strength in his hands was unbelievably gentle, and both sides were a little extreme.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

His voice was low, barely audible.It's not like asking Xia Zhuo, but more like asking himself.

Xia Zhuo didn't say a word, but squinted her eyes and hummed.He held his neck high, his Adam's apple was more prominent than ever, and now he was slowly sliding up and down with the swallowing of the secretion of saliva, and the trajectory was hidden with some ambiguity, which attracted people's eyes.

Guan Yuzhou was patient, and called him again: "Xia Zhuo, open your eyes."

The young man raised his eyelids, revealing a pair of clear eyes.There was mist in his eyes, "I remember, I have an impression...I remember..."

Guan Yuzhou's eyelashes trembled when he heard the words, and he withdrew his hand suddenly.

"What do you remember?"

"I..." Xia Zhuo opened and closed his lips slightly, feeling dizzy like a torrential rain, covering his whole body in an instant. After his feet softened, he would inevitably usher in more embarrassment and embarrassment.

He remembered that there seemed to be such a person who touched his head so lightly.But that memory was very vague. He tried hard to restore the scene in his mind, but he still couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

In the end, the ambiguity ended in a panic because he couldn't bear the retching.

Xia Zhuo's face was ugly: "Uh, it's nothing, I... forgot again."

Guan Yuzhou stood there stiffly, watching the person in front of him kneeling on the ground with his mouth covered, but unable to step forward to help him, his back looked a little helpless.

A moment later, Xia Zhuo was paralyzed on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, with red eyes at the end of his eyes from the gushing of physiological tears, and half-closed his eyes to look at Guan Yuzhou.Neither of them spoke, nor did they talk about the out-of-control actions of both parties just now, as if it was just a thin page on a heavy calendar, and it was turned over with a light tear.

It was approaching noon, and the curtains were half-opened in front of the glass, but the pollution of the outdoor air was so severe that it blocked the sunlight, making the room not very bright.

When Guan Yuzhou packed up everything and walked to the bed, Xia Zhuo had already entered a light sleep state in a rare and pleasant time, curled up like a motionless sea shrimp.He stood by the bed and watched for a while, and when he was about to sit back on the chair, there was a short but subtle sound of sharp objects passing behind the door panel at the entrance.

Guan Yuzhou cast his gaze accurately, and two silver lights came in from under the door, and stopped in front of the cabinet due to the resistance of the carpet.

Those were two keys with their rings removed.

Xia Zhuo was not disturbed by the movement, she maintained her original posture and slept peacefully.Guan Yuzhou held the key in his hand and played with it for a while. After confirming that the person on the bed would not wake up for the time being, he slowly opened the door and stepped into the empty corridor.

……

Xia Zhuo woke up once around three o'clock. He opened his eyes with sweat on his head, and the silhouette of Guan Yuzhou propping his head and closing his eyes appeared very clearly in the center of his vision.It seemed that he had taken a reassurance after seeing it like this, and when he closed his eyes, there would be no more disturbing dreams.

When the clock struck six again, he was finally pulled back from Duke Zhou.

Perhaps more than hunger, the body needs more sleep. Even though Guan Yuzhou went down and brought him a snack for an emergency, he couldn't be awakened by the smell of food.

There was no movement around, which made Xia Zhuo feel a little uneasy - he is not a quiet person.

The white sheets rubbed against the fabric, making trivial noises, and when you blinked, you could even hear the clicky sound of eyelids being glued together and then reopened, and then a slightly familiar voice came from next to your ears.

"Finally willing?" The other party's tone was not complaining, and there was a hint of teasing.

Xia Zhuo slept too much, her head was in a daze.Hearing this, he sat up in a daze, looked at Guan Yuzhou who was sinking in the soft chair, and muttered in a hoarse voice: "It's getting dark...why didn't you call me up? Hiss...dizziness."

There was a dinner plate with cream cake on the bedside table, and the cold milk was dyed a little warmer under the warm yellow lamp, and he didn't pay attention to it. The cat crawled over and poured it down his throat, and then he felt more comfortable.

The door was knocked three times, and when the time came, the deacon came up again and called them to go down for dinner.

"Calling you?" Guan Yuzhou ignored the people outside the door, but just raised his hand and rubbed his temples, "The daytime in the dreamland is more suitable for sleeping."

"But I feel uncomfortable after sleeping too much. I slept for ten hours last night, and I slept for so long just now. Didn't I fall asleep all day?"

Xia Zhuo shook his head, his body was a little heavy, and he almost fell back again.He stabilized his wrist and put the cup back on the side of the dinner plate, "Didn't anything happen in the afternoon?"

"No, let's go downstairs to eat something first." Guan Yuzhou stood up and handed his shoes to the same side, "Go to the fourth floor tonight."

When Xia Zhuo heard it, the last bit of drowsiness disappeared.He jumped off the bed and put his feet into the shoes accurately, "I want to go with you!"

This sentence was shouted with great momentum, as if he wanted to use his strength to restrain Guan Yuzhou.

Guan Yuzhou squatted on the ground, amusedly untying his shoelaces: "I let you sleep so much in the afternoon because I need you to do things at night."

This kind of thing seemed too intimate, Xia Zhuo stared at Guan Yuzhou's hair whirling, and suddenly felt dizzy again.It wasn't until Guan Yuzhou withdrew his hand and put a distance away from him that the dull and strange feeling gradually subsided.

This made Xia Zhuo feel a little cramped for the first time, and even learned to say thank you, but Guan Yuzhou's attitude was very natural, and the little bit of embarrassment in his heart was wiped away.

When he slowly reached the first floor, the fresh air in the spacious environment made him jump up and down again, with a rare domineering feeling on his brows.

Just like last night, the two were the last to go downstairs again.

Madam Bai and Xiao Qi did not sit where they were last night, but moved to the opposite side.The seat next to them was obviously empty, but Guan Yuzhou and Xia Zhuo didn't intend to go up to it, so they just picked a place closest to the door and sat down.

Luan Yingxue still locked herself in the room, but Qianqian, who was forced to live in 307, came down to eat.She yelled hysterically in the morning, but now she has combed herself neatly and cleanly. Apart from a tired look on the surface, it is not obvious that she has been betrayed by her friends.

However, with her presence, everyone seemed to have reached a strange tacit understanding, everyone bowed their heads to eat, and refused to say a word, as if talking to her would be bad luck.

The crowds in the restaurant created the illusion that it was safer than anywhere else, so the participants were in no rush to leave and spend the rest of the night here.

The way Guan Yuzhou eats doesn't match the words wind and clouds. Even if he is fast, he maintains a latent elegance and doesn't make a sound. This is a habit he has developed for a long time.

When his fork landed on the plate, Xia Zhuo also stopped talking.The latter gave the former a look: Are you slipping?

Guan Yuzhou glanced at his plate with half of the steak left, and frowned.

His expression was obvious, and his meaning was clearly conveyed: no.

Xia Zhuo's appetite is very small, it seems that he has no appetite and can't eat anything.He was about to sit quietly and wait for the other party to finish their dinner, but the young man wiped his mouth with a wet towel, and rushed out of the restaurant very actively.

Not obedient at all.

Guan Yuzhou had no choice but to follow.

After the closed door could cover the sound of the conversation, he asked, "Why don't you have a good meal?"

Xia Zhuo stretched her waist, and at the same time her wrist was raised high, half of her waist was exposed on her back, "I want to save some stomach, didn't you bring a cake back to the room? I want to eat that."

"Then you're going to be hungry." Guan Yuzhou followed him up the stairs, "Let's go directly to the fourth floor."

Xia Zhuo was not surprised by this proposal.The head of the family will be back tonight, and they don't know what will happen in the future. They should go to the fourth floor to check the situation in advance while the deacon is still in the restaurant and can't get away for a while.

"No, don't you have anything to eat?" Xia Zhuo looked like he was waiting for the food to be fed, and his nose wrinkled when he said this, "The steak is really not good, and it oozes blood. The knife and fork are too hard Use it, aren’t dreams omnipotent? Then why don’t you give me a pair of chopsticks... If I’m free tomorrow, I’m going to break off two branches to use.”

Guan Yuzhou sighed lightly: "It's really hard to support you if you are picky."

"No, I'm obviously easy to raise." Xia Zhuo suddenly jumped up, his eyes rolled around, and he asked, "Would you like to try it?"

Guan Yuzhou also smiled along with him, "Aren't I already raising it?"

Obviously Guan Yuzhou was joking along with the words at will, but when Xia Zhuo touched that look, it seemed as if his heart was being squeezed and rubbed, and his whole body became sore and soft in an instant.He couldn't help slowing down his steps, and his tone was still the most common expression of joy: "Is there? Are you perfunctory? I think raising kittens and puppies is more serious than you."

Guan Yuzhou didn't wait for that mouth to say something, he had already bypassed the people and went straight forward, "Cats and dogs are not as delicate as you, let's go."

Xia Zhuo quickly raised his heels and followed, "Oh, why are you walking so fast, wait for me."

The person in front didn't stop, but the movement of changing legs slowed down a bit according to his wishes.The two climbed up silently, their heels rubbing against the not-so-thick carpet, making rhythmic, light or heavy muffled noises.

Although the temperature in the house is not high, it is still maintained at a relatively comfortable seventeen or eight degrees.When he stepped forward to a higher place, the cold breath rushed towards his face like a turbulent wave, which made his scalp numb.

As if to show that the fourth floor is different, the light is much dimmer than the other three floors, and the light bulb is holding on to the last breath, and it will be scrapped and thrown into the trash can at some point.

Guan Yuzhou looked back at Xia Zhuo specifically, wanting to know whether Xia Zhuo could accept this brightness.The moment he turned his head, a black shadow was reflected on the wall at the stairway, flickering with the flickering lights at the same time.

It doesn't look like a person, it has no hands and feet, more like a container with curly grass inserted.

Xia Zhuo stared at the weird shadow, not knowing whether to continue going up or flee downstairs.When Guan Yuzhou turned around again, everything returned to normal. The shadow seemed to be playing a hiding game with them.

Xia Zhuo didn't know how to describe the appearance of the shadow, and he couldn't say too much in this situation, he could only give the other party a concise look: "There is something."

They knew about the fact that there was someone on the fourth floor last night. Guan Yuzhou didn't hesitate because he was surprised, and continued to walk up steadily, "Which side?"

Xia Zhuo raised his wrist, but before he could point it out, there was a sudden "boom" from the upper right.
