Pretend to be nice

In the silent night, the lamps illuminating the roadside are slowly retracted in the continuous invasion of the dark night. The tall buildings standing upright are like hidden referees. The sultry heat that can't be blown away surrounds every place in Nancheng.

In the room of the old community, a woman with a good figure lying on the bed was still frowning tightly in her sleep, with thin sweat on her forehead.

After a while, she opened her eyes abruptly, and quickly raised her hand to turn on the lamp beside the bed, and a faint light lit up in the room.

Lin Guan sat up and slowed down, the strange horror scene in the dream was still playing in the loop in his mind, touched the cold sweat on his forehead, secretly regretting that he shouldn't watch that supposedly good horror movie with his friends today.

Although she knew in her heart that they were all illusory things, the images left in her dream still caused panic to spread uncontrollably in her heart. She looked at the darkness in front of her that seemed to be constantly eating away, and she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

After coming to the door and turning on the light, and letting the bright light illuminate the whole room, Lin Gu'an felt that the sense of uncontrollable panic was slightly weakened.

Looking at the phone, it was three o'clock in the morning, but Lin Guan was not sleepy at the moment, sighed and regretted the decision in the afternoon again.

Standing where she was, she thought about putting on a coat over the thin nightgown, and then opened the door. She wanted to go to the kitchen to make a cup of milk to help her sleep.

The outside is not as dark as imagined. The door of the child's room that stayed here two days ago was not closed tightly, and a faint light came out from the gap, accompanied by the sound of typing on the keyboard.

"I slept so late", Lin Gu'an thought, but thinking about how she often stayed up late to dance at that time, she felt that this was the norm at this age.

"It's nice to be young," Lin Gu'an sighed in his heart, the intermittent sound of the keyboard seemed particularly reassuring at this moment, and the panic just now finally calmed down.

Lin Gu'an shifted his destination by accident, walked towards the light in the gap, and knocked tentatively on the door, but the sound of the keyboard didn't stop, but there was no child's voice, so she simply pushed the door open.

Sitting in front of the computer, Li Qinghe, who was wearing white earphones, turned his head to see her as if feeling something. He was taken aback for a moment, then quickly took off the earphones, raised his head and asked, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Only the light from the screen was left in the room, casting it on the child's pale and delicate face, the light amber eyes looked more clear, as if they were amber that could be seen to the end at a glance, she pursed her lips at the moment, a little puzzled Looking at her, he suddenly thought of something, looked away and lowered his eyelids, his light amber pupils were hidden.

Lin Gu'an didn't answer, he leaned against the door and looked at her with a half-smile in his eyes.

It was only later that Li Qinghe realized that he hadn't slept so late, and this person had already washed up and returned to his room early.

She nana explained again: "I fell asleep after editing this video." After thinking about it, she added in a more affirmative tone, "It was almost there."

Only then did Lin Gu'an speak, her voice was low and hoarse when she just woke up, she looked lazy and charming, she said: "Children always go to bed late, and they tend not to grow taller."

Li Qinghe was scratched by the sound, his earlobe felt a little hot, he answered in a flustered voice, then remembered something, turned around and took out a tissue and handed it to her.

"Huh?" Lin Gu'an raised his eyebrows.

Li Qinghe pointed to his forehead with the other finger.

Lin Gu'an remembered the cold sweat just now, took the tissue from Li Qinghe, and still did not forget to tell him: "Go to bed early."

Li Qinghe nodded again, and after she finished wiping off her sweat, she asked, "Are you uncomfortable?"

Lin Gu'an didn't react and looked at her suspiciously.

Li Qinghe paused for a while, and said euphemistically: "Because your stomach is uncomfortable, so you can't sleep?"

Lin Gu'an suddenly remembered the reason for his nightmare, and then looked at the children in front of him, the elder suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing Lin Guan's somewhat embarrassed expression, Li Qinghe became more determined in his heart, stood up, and thoughtfully said: "Go to bed and lie down for a while."

Lin Guan, who was still maintaining the dignity of an elder, was brought to the bed by the child and sat down in a daze. The child lifted the quilt and covered her up.

"You wait here for a while," Li Qinghe turned and left after finishing speaking.

Lin Gu'an looked at the thin back, thought about the content of the movie in the afternoon, opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and stayed in the warm room.

There was a sound of bang bang bang bang in the kitchen, Li Qinghe made her wait too long, and within ten minutes came in with a bowl of hot brown sugar eggs.

Lin Gu'an looked at the bowl of brown sugar eggs with some confusion, and remained silent.

Li Qinghe didn't think about it, he just put the brown sugar eggs on the table as if she was having an upset stomach, looked at Lin Gu'an motionless, thought for a while, picked up the bowl, sat next to her, picked up the spoon and was about to feed her .

Lin Gu'an backed away in fright, and quickly said, "No need."

The reaction was a little big, Li Qinghe understood that the thoughts of women on special occasions are always changing, understandable, he handed over the bowl and let her do it by herself.

In the end, Lin Guan held the brown sugar egg that should have been milk, and all the remaining fears had turned into dumbfounding.

Seeing Li Qinghe who was still preparing to do something, she hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "I'm getting better, don't you still want to edit the video? Go ahead," for fear that she would bring out some palace warming stickers or the like.

Li Qinghe frowned and looked at her in disbelief, but under Lin Guan's insistence, he could only tell her with a straight face if it hurts too much, and then turned to deal with the rest of the video. But this time I only wore half of the earphones, hanging crookedly around my neck looked a little funny.

What Li Qinghe said was really only one point, and it was dealt with in ten minutes. After Lin Guan drank the last brown sugar water, Li Qinghe just saved the video and turned off the computer.

Lin Guan lifted the quilt, and the two stood up at the same time.

Li Qinghe took the bowl in her hand, being young and thin-skinned, he was always a little shy about this, and asked in a low voice unnaturally: "Is it better?"

Lin Guan could only nod his head.

Li Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and told him again: "Tell me if it hurts too much."

Lin Guan didn't know what to say, so she nodded again, and wanted to leave this embarrassing place.

Li Qinghe followed behind her.

"I'm really fine," Lin Gu'an explained feebly.

Li Qinghe nodded seriously and continued to follow her, sending her to the door of the room.

"Okay, I'm really fine," Lin Gu'an stood at the door of the room, leaning against the wooden door, emphasizing again feebly.

Li Qinghe agreed, but his face was full of you trying to be brave, I don't believe it.

"Leave the bowl, I'll wash it tomorrow."

"I'll wash it later, it's not suitable for you to touch cold water recently," Li Qinghe said with a serious expression.

Lin Gu'an: "...", she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to get over this matter quickly.

"Good night," Li Qinghe said.

Lin Gu'an answered subconsciously: "Good night," and then quickly said "Thank you."

"It's okay," Li Qinghe shook his head, halfway through his turn, he suddenly remembered something and turned back.

Lin Gu'an looked at her with some doubts, and slender and white fingers brushed the broken hair on the forehead and pinned it behind the ears.

Li Qinghe's tone was a little awkward and stiff, as if he suddenly thought of the words he asked without thinking seriously in his mind: "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Gu'an was a little confused, so he was exposed so quickly?The problem with that step?Walking is too natural?Or did you not cover your stomach just now?

Li Qinghe didn't know the overwhelming doubts in this person's mind, so he pointed to his eyes and said, "Many people are afraid to look into my eyes." After thinking about it, he added, "They feel a little scared."

Lin Gu'an came to his senses, and looked at the eyes that Li Qinghe had covered. They were not the eye shape that the public preferred. They were shaped like triangles, with the eyeballs on top, and the whites of the eyes were too much. The so-called snake eyes, commonly known as three-white eyes, Lin Guan has heard some facial expressions, and most of the descriptions of this eye type are not very good, sinister, indifferent, and unkind are used to describe people with this eye type People, the slightly superstitious people of the older generation, will subconsciously stay away even when they see such people.

Besides, people are always resistant to behaviors that are different from ordinary people. The light amber eyes, which are rare for ordinary people and difficult to make exactly the same even with colored contact lenses, are not immune to this. The first reaction most people see It's hard to look good, it's more about subconsciously resisting and avoiding, and Li Qinghe's sharp silhouette is different from other girls, it really looks very difficult to approach.

"When I was young, very few children were willing to play with me. They all said that my eyes were scary. Sometimes the teacher would come to comfort me, but they didn't dare to look directly into my eyes." Li Qinghe saw that she was silent for a long time, and looked at her. His eyes subconsciously avoided looking elsewhere, he explained to himself, and smiled bitterly.

Thinking of the way that when I was a child, a straight face could scare a child to tears.

"They will subconsciously escape, not daring to look into my eyes,"

"It's beautiful," Lin Gu'an interrupted her, and she repeated "It's beautiful," her tone was firm and unquestionable.

She softened her tone, and said with the tolerance of the elderly: "I don't know what other people think, but the first time I saw your eyes, I thought they were very beautiful."

"Very special eyes."

Li Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at her. Lin Guan looked into her eyes, without avoiding countless times or deliberately forcing them, and even a faint but palpable tenderness and tolerance could be seen in the originally cold eyebrows and eyes. .

The fading heat spread to the earlobe again, Li Qinghe scratched his head uncomfortably, and finally said stiffly: "Good night."

Just now the roles were switched, and it was Li Qinghe who said thank you again.

Lin Gu'an patiently said good night again, and added that it's okay like she did just now, and watched the man go straight to the kitchen.

Lin Gu'an, who was lying back on the bed again, heard the sound of water colliding with pots and pans outside the door, and an irresistible drowsiness hit him in a trance, and he fell into a deep sleep.

The night wind outside the window was still blowing the dense leaves, and the cicadas were still screaming non-stop, but the people in the house had a good night's sleep.
