Although Gu Zhengqing didn't know where Shen Heng's anger came from, but after coaxing him patiently, he went back to the study to work.
He was so engrossed in his work that he forgot the passage of time, and after an unknown amount of time, a flash of light in front of him woke him up from his own world.
Gu Zhengqing froze for a moment, then looked out the window.
The dark clouds rolled in the originally calm night sky, and lightning flashed between the clouds, flashing past when everyone was unprepared, like an enraged dragon roaring to tear the night sky apart.
Gu Zhengqing stood by the window for a while, and after resting his eyes, he opened the door and went out to pour water.
He accidentally found Shen Heng's figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Gu Zhengqing was about to go over to say hello, but when he saw Shen Heng's expression, he stopped subconsciously.
The windows were ajar, and a bitter wind mixed with icy rain blew into the house.
Shen Heng stood by the window with thin clothes, the wind flapped the corners of his clothes, and the thin fabric was pulled by the strong wind, and the violent energy mixed in it seemed to tear everything apart.
The rain wet Shen Heng's face, and there were drops of water on the curled eyelashes. Shen Heng seemed to not feel it at all, so he stood there quietly, his eyes emptied.
Gu Zhengqing never felt that this big boy of more than 180 was so fragile. He stood alone in front of the window, with a roaring thunderstorm in front of him, and an empty living room with no trace of popularity behind him, as if he was the only one left in this world .
He suddenly had an impulse in his heart: he really wanted to hug Shen Heng from behind and warm him with his body.
The body consciously made a decision first, and Gu Zhengqing took a few steps forward, but it was a pity that before he got close, the sound of footsteps alarmed Shen Heng.
Shen Heng looked back at Gu Zhengqing, and smiled with the corners of his mouth. Although his expression changed, the emotion in his eyes was still hidden.
Gu Zhengqing looked at the fragility and sadness that passed through Shen Heng's eyes, and the drops of water hanging on his eyelashes seemed like he had cried.
Gu Zhengqing opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort him.
"Did Mr. Gu come out to pour water?" It was Shen Heng who broke the silence first.
Gu Zhengqing nodded.
Shen Heng lowered his eyes to cover the emotions in his eyes, "Mr. Gu, rest early, I'll go to bed first."
After speaking, Shen Heng walked towards the side sleeper, and when passing by, Gu Zhengqing looked sideways at Shen Heng, he only had time to make a sound, Shen Heng passed him and walked into the side sleeper.
Gu Zhengqing looked at the closed door and swallowed back the words.
Shen Heng couldn't be afraid of... thunder.
Shen Heng's expression just now appeared in his mind, and the more Gu Zhengqing thought about it, the more certain he became. Although he returned to the room, his mind was filled with the flashing fragility in Shen Heng's eyes.
The text in front of him turned into distorted symbols with unknown meanings. Gu Zhengqing read it four or five times, but didn't take a single word into his mind.
He simply threw the file aside, stood up and paced back and forth in the room.
The rain outside the window was still falling, and the thunder gradually became louder. Gu Zhengqing looked worriedly at the roaring lightning that was about to tear the sky apart, and frowned deeply.
It is estimated that the rain will last for a long time, Shen Heng must be very scared to stay alone in the room.
Just thinking about that scene, Gu Zhengqing wished he could rush into Shen Heng's room.
But he still gritted his teeth and endured.
Shen Heng's effort to be calm just now, and even his reluctance to answer the conversation, proved that he did not want to reveal his fear. It is a shameful thing for adults to still be afraid of thunder in the eyes of ordinary people.
Gu Zhengqing and Shen Heng have been together for so long, and he knows that he is indifferent on the surface, as if he doesn't care about everything, but he is very strong in his heart. If he goes to find Shen Heng for no reason, Shen Heng is so smart, he must be able to guess his intention.
This hurt Shen Heng's self-esteem.
Gu Zhengqing was so entangled that his head would explode, but he still couldn't think of a way that wouldn't hurt Shen Heng's self-esteem.
He turned anxiously around the room a few more times, and finally his eyes fell on the pillows on the bed.
He couldn't help but blushed with embarrassment.
Although it is not a good way, it can be done anyway.
*****
Shen Heng was no longer afraid of thunder, but it reminded him of some bad memories.
He doesn't like this feeling of being out of control, every time Lei Yuntian goes to bed early to force his brain to rest.
But if the black undercurrent in his heart is suppressed for too long, it will rebound, and Shen Heng is forcibly pulled down into the abyss of nightmare.
The pitch-black night sky, the roaring thunder, the lightning that tore through the night sky, the sound of a woman's shallow breathing...
As lightning pierced the night sky, Shen Heng saw clearly the furnishings in the house.
Dilapidated and narrow, the furniture impregnated into wood by oil stains is crowded in this small space. Bottles and cans are placed on the table, and the washed clothes are hung on the head of the bed. The water on the bed fell drop by drop.
The whole room exudes the unique smell of the dying old man, which is the smell most like death.
The room was so cold that his breath could turn into ice, he curled up, and cautiously approached the only heat source.
He reached out and touched a bony palm.
This brought him a great sense of security, he forgot the horror of thunder and lightning, and gently circled his mother's little finger.
Although the movement was as light as a feather, he was still worried and looked up at his mother.
Fortunately, my mother was sound asleep.
He was completely relieved, curled up beside his mother, his eyelids were clenched with sleepiness but he couldn't bear to fall asleep.
Because the time at this moment is very precious, the mother will not allow him to be so close when she wakes up.
After an unknown amount of time, he fell asleep in a daze.
Half asleep and half awake, he remembered that the adults around him always looked at him with pity.
But he doesn't feel sorry for himself, as long as his mother is still around, he will be very happy.
The bright light from the sky suddenly made him open his eyes, the surrounding colors faded, and the light and shadow changed rapidly. He squinted his eyes to see the surrounding affairs clearly.
He saw that his palm had gotten bigger.
Surrounded by pure white, he seemed to be walking in a forgotten space.
"Why are your clothes torn again!"
"If they beat you, you won't fight back! How can I have such a cowardly son like you!"
"Yes, I don't want you anymore, go find that man, he will raise you up!"
The woman's voice disappeared, and suddenly a faint painful meow came from under her feet.
The white fluff was dyed with bright red snow, the soft belly of the cat heaved violently, and the kitten was as angry as gossamer, and its cry became weaker and weaker.
He quickly squatted down, but before he touched the kitten's body, the kitten burst open and turned into a piece of flesh and blood.
His pupils constricted in fright, and he sat on the ground suddenly, cold sweat slipping from the corner of his forehead.
"No..." He felt very sad for some reason, he shook his head violently, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
Suddenly footsteps came from my ears, and a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped on the kitten's body, "Come with me, I am your father."
He raised his head, only to see a white light, unable to see the man's face clearly.
"Why do you look at me like this?" The man paused, "You just killed a cat, and you hate me?"
The man stretched out his hand to him, and pulled his wrist forcefully, almost crushing his wrist bone, "You have no right to hate me, without me, you will be worse than that cat."
Disgusted and frightened in his heart, he struggled violently, but his strength was not worth mentioning in front of men, and he was dragged for a long distance.
Although there was still a white light in front of him, he knew that what awaited him was a man-eating purgatory.
Do not--
Do not!
Shen Heng opened his eyes suddenly, his chest heaved violently, but his consciousness was not fully awake yet.
Everything familiar around him reminded him that this was Gu Zhengqing's home, and everything was just a nightmare.
The nightmare almost consumed all his strength, he sat up and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his hand.
Before he could recover completely, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Shen Heng froze for a moment, and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Gu Zhengqing continued: "Heng, are you asleep?"
Shen Heng was a little surprised. He got off the bed and said while putting on his slippers: "Not yet, Mr. Gu, what do you want from me?"
"Something...can you open the door for me?"
"Okay." Shen Heng walked over and opened the door.
Gu Zhengqing was standing outside the door in gray pajamas, holding a pillow in his hands, his hair was soft and obedient, and his eyes were as clear as washed.
Like a teenager who is only in his teens.
Seeing the door opened, Gu Zhengqing looked up at him timidly: "That, that..."
As he spoke, his cheeks flushed, his eyes flickered, and he was so ashamed that he couldn't lift his head.
This scene was too impactful, Shen Heng let his mind go blank for a few seconds, and finally found his voice, "Mr. Gu, who is this?"
"me……"
Gu Zhengqing took a deep breath, looked at him eagerly, and said in a nervous and shy tone, "I, can I sleep with you tonight."
*****
Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Gu Zhengqing bit the bullet and asked again.
Shen Heng turned his eyes around Gu Zhengqing, lowered his head slightly to cover his expression, and said softly, "Okay, Mr. Gu, come in."
Gu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly strode into Shen Heng's bedroom.
Shen Heng closed the door behind him.
The lights in the bedroom were not turned on, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the door was closed at this time, the room was so dark that you couldn't even see the bed.
"Wait a moment." After Shen Heng finished speaking, he stepped forward and turned on the bedside lamp.
The dim light hit Shen Heng's side face, the outline became more three-dimensional, the tall bridge of the nose cast a heavy shadow, and half of the face was almost hidden in the darkness.
The light only illuminated the head of the bed, Gu Zhengqing stood at the end of the bed, and could only vaguely see things.
Gu Zhengqing paused and said, "This light is a little dim."
"It's a little bad contact. It's getting darker and darker these days. I haven't had time to change it yet." Shen Heng continued: "How about I turn on the headlights?"
"No need." The headlight was so bright that no one could fall asleep when it was on, so Gu Zhengqing stopped Shen Heng without thinking.
Shen Heng didn't insist anymore, and said: "Then Mr. Gu, let's sleep on the bed, I have a thick quilt, and I can make a bed on the floor."
Gu Zhengqing didn't come to snatch the bed from Shen Heng, he quickly said: "No, you should sleep on the bed."
Shen Heng insisted: "No, how can I let Mr. Gu sleep on the bed? It's okay, the quilt is very thick, and it's very comfortable to sleep on the floor."
Gu Zhengqing naturally knew that these words were polite, and insisted: "You can't sleep on the ground, the ground is so hard, and there is only one quilt, and you will definitely have a sore back when you wake up."
Shen Heng still hesitated.
Seeing this, Gu Zhengqing spoke before him: "I think this bed is quite big, more than enough to sleep two people, let's sleep on the bed together."
Shen Heng looked at the bed, then at Gu Zhengqing, and then nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that Shen Heng finally compromised, Gu Zhengqing was relieved.
But when it was time to go to bed, he couldn't help feeling confused again.
He didn't want to sleep with Shen Heng, how could things turn out like this?
Before he could think deeply, he was interrupted by Shen Heng: "Mr. Gu, please cover this bed with a quilt."
Gu Zhengqing nodded, at this moment there was a muffled thunder sound in the sky, he was afraid that Shen Heng would be afraid, so he quickly squeezed out a smile to comfort him.
Seeing the smile on Gu Zhengqing's face, Shen Heng's eyes were dark, his eyes were fixed on those soft red lips, his eyes were full of desire, the darkness was his accomplice, it helped him hide his expression.
Gu Zhengqing hugged the quilt, and smiled dryly at Shen Heng: "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
Shen Heng nodded.
Neither of the two moved first, the air in the room became thick and stagnant, and unexplainable feelings fermented in the air.
Gu Zhengqing had never slept in the same bed with anyone since he was six years old. He was a little embarrassed at this moment, but he felt that it was not good for the two of them to be frozen here, so he bit the bullet and lay down first.
He looked at Shen Heng from top to bottom, pretending to be very natural and patted the position beside him. "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come up to sleep, it's already so late, if you don't sleep, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning."
Shen Heng nodded and sat on the bed.
Gu Zhengqing stared at the ceiling without blinking, but the rustling sound of Shen Heng lying down was all around her ears.
The bed beside him was slightly sunken, and although the two had no physical contact, Gu Zhengqing could clearly feel Shen Heng lying beside him.
The heat on his face rose inexplicably, burning his brain into a paste, Gu Zhengqing's eyes wandered for a while, and he had nothing to say: "Heng, are you going to sleep?"
Shen Heng's voice was cold and warm during the day, but for some reason, it became deep and full of magnetism at this time, and the distance between the two was so close that Gu Zhengqing felt that the subwoofer surrounded him 360 degrees.
"not yet."
Gu Zhengqing's voice was a little dry, he coughed, and tried to steady his voice: "Well, is it because the lights are too dazzling that you...didn't fall asleep."
Shen Heng said: "It's okay, Mr. Gu, do you want to turn off the light?"
Gu Zhengqing couldn't speak his mind, and said, "Shut it up."
Shen Heng nodded, raised his hand and turned off the light.
The last ray of light in the room also disappeared, and the surroundings were completely dark, and Gu Zhengqing couldn't see anything clearly with his eyes wide open.
After the vision is weakened, the hearing becomes extremely sensitive.
He seemed to be able to hear the sound of Shen Heng's breathing, the rustling of fabrics rubbing against each other, and the sound of his own heart beating faster and faster... These sounds were added together, infinitely amplified in his ears, and Gu Zhengqing was about to be crushed in just a few seconds. Torment is insane.
"Well, you, better turn on the light."
After Gu Zhengqing finished speaking, he realized that his voice just now was a bit too unnatural, he smiled shyly, and hid half of his face under the quilt, for fear that Shen Heng would ask him.
Fortunately, Shen Heng didn't say anything, but raised his hand to turn on the light.
The dim light dispelled the darkness, and Gu Zhengqing had never yearned for the light like now.
In just 1 minute, he discovered the problem.
The yellow light is too dim, and it feels like trying to cover up. The light and shadow are very similar to the scenes in the movie - a small desk lamp is placed beside the bed, adding interest, and ambiguous factors flow in the air.
Gu Zhengqing quickly stopped his messy thoughts, he spat in his heart, afraid to continue thinking, he simply turned around lightly, and buried the lower half of his face under the quilt.
Fresh air poured into the nostrils, the heat on his face gradually dropped, and his brain gradually regained clarity. It was no longer the messy pictures just now. It was only after he calmed down that he realized that the quilt on his body was covered by Shen Heng. With a warm body temperature, there seems to be a light cold fragrance from Shen Heng's body.
The smell of Shen Heng lingered all over her body, and she was covered with a quilt at this moment, as if being held tightly in Shen Heng's arms.
As soon as this idea was formed, the string in Gu Zhengqing's mind snapped, and he tore off the quilt without caring about the unnatural movement.
Shen Heng noticed the movement on Gu Zhengqing's side, tilted his head to look at it, and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Gu cover the quilt?"
Gu Zhengqing's eyes met Shen Heng's. He turned his head with great movements, his eyes were erratic, and his voice trembled slightly: "No, it's nothing, I'm a little hot."
Shen Heng took Gu Zhengqing's reaction into his eyes, and said calmly: "Really, but the temperature has dropped to ten degrees recently."
Gu Zhengqing coughed: "I'm just a little hot all of a sudden, so I'll put the quilt on later."
Shen Heng chuckled, and no longer pressed on, but wanted experienced hunters to lay traps in advance, and lure innocent prey into the net little by little.
"Mr. Gu can't sleep?"
"Yes, a little,"
"I just can't sleep, let's chat."
Gu Zhengqing's attention was diverted a little, and he said unconsciously, "Okay."
Shen Heng turned around, looked at Gu Zhengqing's profile and said, "When did Mr. Gu know Sun Yuning?"
Gu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, not sure why Shen Heng suddenly mentioned Sun Yuning, he paused and said, "I've known him since he was three years old, he's a little white ball, and he's been following him all day long, calling sweetly." My brother, I went to work on my own affairs, so he just sat on the chair obediently, looked at me eagerly, wanted to play with me in his heart, but didn't dare to disturb him, he is a very obedient child."
Although he thought it was ridiculous, Shen Heng was very jealous of Sun Yuning because he participated in Gu Zhengqing's life earlier than himself.
Shen Heng continued to ask: "And then?"
"Then..." Gu Zhengqing paused and said, "Later, I was busy with my studies, so I only saw each other during the Chinese New Year. Later, the relationship between the two families became far away. In addition, I only went back for one day during the Chinese New Year. When relatives visited on the first day of the new year, I didn't want to see Uncle Sangu and the others, so I left early, so I didn't see each other again during the Chinese New Year, speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for about three or four years."
Speaking of which, Gu Zhengqing couldn't help sighing with emotion, "Time flies so fast, that round dumpling has already grown up, and I will grow old when he grows up."
Shen Heng comforted: "Mr. Gu is not old at all, he is only in his 20s, how can he use the word old to describe him?"
Gu Zhengqing chuckled, and suddenly became very curious about Shen Heng's past, and turned to look at him, asking, "What about you? Do you have a younger brother or elder brother?"
In the past, he was afraid to poke Shen Heng's sad things, so he didn't dare to ask more, but now the two were lying face to face, and the distance was infinitely closer, so he couldn't help but speak out.
Shen Heng looked at Gu Zhengqing who was close at hand, and suddenly found a faint mole on the tip of his ear. He chuckled and said, "I have a real brother, but I don't have a good relationship with him, so I can't say whether I like it or not." , I have almost no impression of him, and there is a big brother I knew when I was young..."
Shen Heng paused for a moment, he looked at Gu Zhengqing, his tone was very light but extremely serious: "I like him very much."
Gu Zhengqing continued to ask: "Then have you been in touch with him recently?"
Shen Heng nodded, "I used to think that he was a warm person like the sun, but I just found out that he has not lived as well as I imagined these years. I am very distressed and regretful. Why didn't I come back to him earlier .”
Gu Zhengqing looked into Shen Heng's eyes, the softest part of his heart was poked, he said softly: "Don't blame yourself, everyone has their own way, your brother needs to face it alone, you can come back With him, he is already very happy."
Shen Heng was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, then he twitched the corners of his mouth and squirmed his lips, "But I hope he never gets hurt."
Seeing the shape of Shen Heng's mouth, Gu Zhengqing suddenly felt very sad for some reason, like an immature fruit exploded in his heart, very sour.
He wrinkled his nose, trying to adjust his inexplicable emotions.
He turned around, stared at the ceiling and said, "It's getting late, you'd better go to bed early, or you won't be able to get up early tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Heng asked suddenly: "What does Sun Yuning call you now?"
Gu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Shen Heng would suddenly ask such a question, and blinked before saying, "He just called me Brother Gu, why did you suddenly ask this?"
Shen Heng chuckled, "Because I care a little bit."
Gu Zhengqing turned around in puzzlement and looked at Shen Heng.
He had never seen Shen Heng like this.
The eyeballs were as black as a deep sea without light, and also like a mysterious universe. Just looking at each other, they sank deeply into it uncontrollably, and were completely stripped of consciousness.
The dim light hit Shen Heng's body, embroidering him with a circle of gold, because his back was against the light, Shen Heng's side face was hidden in the darkness, his expression was dim and unclear, and his eyes were firmly locked on him.
Gu Zhengqing felt like a weak and harmless deer, being targeted by a bloodthirsty wolf, and completely lost the ability to escape.
Gu Zhengqing's Adam's apple rolled, as if bewitched, he looked at Shen Heng without blinking, his mind went blank, he almost forgot who he was.
Shen Heng stood up and approached little by little, covering Gu Zhengqing in his own shadow.
Time is infinitely slowed down.
Shen Heng looked at being trapped under him, with wide eyes, like a silly weak prey that didn't even know how to escape when its fangs approached its fragile neck, and chuckled softly, with a deep and hoarse voice that made people tremble : "Mr. Gu, can I ask you something."
Seeing Shen Heng's foul appearance, Gu Zhengqing surrendered his rationality long ago, like a faint king who lost his power and humiliated the country, he would give Shen Heng whatever he wanted.
"What, what?" After speaking, he realized that his voice was very hoarse.
Shen Heng lowered his voice, and said in Gu Zhengqing's ear: "From now on, can I call you, brother."
The author has something to say: danger.
Call me brother during the day, call me brother at night
He was so engrossed in his work that he forgot the passage of time, and after an unknown amount of time, a flash of light in front of him woke him up from his own world.
Gu Zhengqing froze for a moment, then looked out the window.
The dark clouds rolled in the originally calm night sky, and lightning flashed between the clouds, flashing past when everyone was unprepared, like an enraged dragon roaring to tear the night sky apart.
Gu Zhengqing stood by the window for a while, and after resting his eyes, he opened the door and went out to pour water.

Seeing that there was no response for a long time, Gu Zhengqing bit the bullet and asked again.
Shen Heng turned his eyes around Gu Zhengqing, lowered his head slightly to cover his expression, and said softly, "Okay, Mr. Gu, come in."
Gu Zhengqing breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly strode into Shen Heng's bedroom.
Shen Heng closed the door behind him.
The lights in the bedroom were not turned on, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the door was closed at this time, the room was so dark that you couldn't even see the bed.
"Wait a moment." After Shen Heng finished speaking, he stepped forward and turned on the bedside lamp.
The dim light hit Shen Heng's side face, the outline became more three-dimensional, the tall bridge of the nose cast a heavy shadow, and half of the face was almost hidden in the darkness.
The light only illuminated the head of the bed, Gu Zhengqing stood at the end of the bed, and could only vaguely see things.
Gu Zhengqing paused and said, "This light is a little dim."
"It's a little bad contact. It's getting darker and darker these days. I haven't had time to change it yet." Shen Heng continued: "How about I turn on the headlights?"
"No need." The headlight was so bright that no one could fall asleep when it was on, so Gu Zhengqing stopped Shen Heng without thinking.
Shen Heng didn't insist anymore, and said: "Then Mr. Gu, let's sleep on the bed, I have a thick quilt, and I can make a bed on the floor."
Gu Zhengqing didn't come to snatch the bed from Shen Heng, he quickly said: "No, you should sleep on the bed."
Shen Heng insisted: "No, how can I let Mr. Gu sleep on the bed? It's okay, the quilt is very thick, and it's very comfortable to sleep on the floor."
Gu Zhengqing naturally knew that these words were polite, and insisted: "You can't sleep on the ground, the ground is so hard, and there is only one quilt, and you will definitely have a sore back when you wake up."
Shen Heng still hesitated.
Seeing this, Gu Zhengqing spoke before him: "I think this bed is quite big, more than enough to sleep two people, let's sleep on the bed together."
Shen Heng looked at the bed, then at Gu Zhengqing, and then nodded: "Okay."
Seeing that Shen Heng finally compromised, Gu Zhengqing was relieved.
But when it was time to go to bed, he couldn't help feeling confused again.
He didn't want to sleep with Shen Heng, how could things turn out like this?
Before he could think deeply, he was interrupted by Shen Heng: "Mr. Gu, please cover this bed with a quilt."
Gu Zhengqing nodded, at this moment there was a muffled thunder sound in the sky, he was afraid that Shen Heng would be afraid, so he quickly squeezed out a smile to comfort him.
Seeing the smile on Gu Zhengqing's face, Shen Heng's eyes were dark, his eyes were fixed on those soft red lips, his eyes were full of desire, the darkness was his accomplice, it helped him hide his expression.
Gu Zhengqing hugged the quilt, and smiled dryly at Shen Heng: "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
Shen Heng nodded.
Neither of the two moved first, the air in the room became thick and stagnant, and unexplainable feelings fermented in the air.
Gu Zhengqing had never slept in the same bed with anyone since he was six years old. He was a little embarrassed at this moment, but he felt that it was not good for the two of them to be frozen here, so he bit the bullet and lay down first.
He looked at Shen Heng from top to bottom, pretending to be very natural and patted the position beside him. "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Come up to sleep, it's already so late, if you don't sleep, you won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning."
Shen Heng nodded and sat on the bed.
Gu Zhengqing stared at the ceiling without blinking, but the rustling sound of Shen Heng lying down was all around her ears.
The bed beside him was slightly sunken, and although the two had no physical contact, Gu Zhengqing could clearly feel Shen Heng lying beside him.
The heat on his face rose inexplicably, burning his brain into a paste, Gu Zhengqing's eyes wandered for a while, and he had nothing to say: "Heng, are you going to sleep?"
Shen Heng's voice was cold and warm during the day, but for some reason, it became deep and full of magnetism at this time, and the distance between the two was so close that Gu Zhengqing felt that the subwoofer surrounded him 360 degrees.
"not yet."
Gu Zhengqing's voice was a little dry, he coughed, and tried to steady his voice: "Well, is it because the lights are too dazzling that you...didn't fall asleep."
Shen Heng said: "It's okay, Mr. Gu, do you want to turn off the light?"
Gu Zhengqing couldn't speak his mind, and said, "Shut it up."
Shen Heng nodded, raised his hand and turned off the light.
The last ray of light in the room also disappeared, and the surroundings were completely dark, and Gu Zhengqing couldn't see anything clearly with his eyes wide open.
After the vision is weakened, the hearing becomes extremely sensitive.
He seemed to be able to hear the sound of Shen Heng's breathing, the rustling of fabrics rubbing against each other, and the sound of his own heart beating faster and faster... These sounds were added together, infinitely amplified in his ears, and Gu Zhengqing was about to be crushed in just a few seconds. Torment is insane.
"Well, you, better turn on the light."
After Gu Zhengqing finished speaking, he realized that his voice just now was a bit too unnatural, he smiled shyly, and hid half of his face under the quilt, for fear that Shen Heng would ask him.
Fortunately, Shen Heng didn't say anything, but raised his hand to turn on the light.
The dim light dispelled the darkness, and Gu Zhengqing had never yearned for the light like now.
In just 1 minute, he discovered the problem.
The yellow light is too dim, and it feels like trying to cover up. The light and shadow are very similar to the scenes in the movie - a small desk lamp is placed beside the bed, adding interest, and ambiguous factors flow in the air.
Gu Zhengqing quickly stopped his messy thoughts, he spat in his heart, afraid to continue thinking, he simply turned around lightly, and buried the lower half of his face under the quilt.
Fresh air poured into the nostrils, the heat on his face gradually dropped, and his brain gradually regained clarity. It was no longer the messy pictures just now. It was only after he calmed down that he realized that the quilt on his body was covered by Shen Heng. With a warm body temperature, there seems to be a light cold fragrance from Shen Heng's body.
The smell of Shen Heng lingered all over her body, and she was covered with a quilt at this moment, as if being held tightly in Shen Heng's arms.
As soon as this idea was formed, the string in Gu Zhengqing's mind snapped, and he tore off the quilt without caring about the unnatural movement.
Shen Heng noticed the movement on Gu Zhengqing's side, tilted his head to look at it, and asked, "Why doesn't Mr. Gu cover the quilt?"
Gu Zhengqing's eyes met Shen Heng's. He turned his head with great movements, his eyes were erratic, and his voice trembled slightly: "No, it's nothing, I'm a little hot."
Shen Heng took Gu Zhengqing's reaction into his eyes, and said calmly: "Really, but the temperature has dropped to ten degrees recently."
Gu Zhengqing coughed: "I'm just a little hot all of a sudden, so I'll put the quilt on later."
Shen Heng chuckled, and no longer pressed on, but wanted experienced hunters to lay traps in advance, and lure innocent prey into the net little by little.
"Mr. Gu can't sleep?"
"Yes, a little,"
"I just can't sleep, let's chat."
Gu Zhengqing's attention was diverted a little, and he said unconsciously, "Okay."
Shen Heng turned around, looked at Gu Zhengqing's profile and said, "When did Mr. Gu know Sun Yuning?"
Gu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, not sure why Shen Heng suddenly mentioned Sun Yuning, he paused and said, "I've known him since he was three years old, he's a little white ball, and he's been following him all day long, calling sweetly." My brother, I went to work on my own affairs, so he just sat on the chair obediently, looked at me eagerly, wanted to play with me in his heart, but didn't dare to disturb him, he is a very obedient child."
Although he thought it was ridiculous, Shen Heng was very jealous of Sun Yuning because he participated in Gu Zhengqing's life earlier than himself.
Shen Heng continued to ask: "And then?"
"Then..." Gu Zhengqing paused and said, "Later, I was busy with my studies, so I only saw each other during the Chinese New Year. Later, the relationship between the two families became far away. In addition, I only went back for one day during the Chinese New Year. When relatives visited on the first day of the new year, I didn't want to see Uncle Sangu and the others, so I left early, so I didn't see each other again during the Chinese New Year, speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for about three or four years."
Speaking of which, Gu Zhengqing couldn't help sighing with emotion, "Time flies so fast, that round dumpling has already grown up, and I will grow old when he grows up."
Shen Heng comforted: "Mr. Gu is not old at all, he is only in his 20s, how can he use the word old to describe him?"
Gu Zhengqing chuckled, and suddenly became very curious about Shen Heng's past, and turned to look at him, asking, "What about you? Do you have a younger brother or elder brother?"
In the past, he was afraid to poke Shen Heng's sad things, so he didn't dare to ask more, but now the two were lying face to face, and the distance was infinitely closer, so he couldn't help but speak out.
Shen Heng looked at Gu Zhengqing who was close at hand, and suddenly found a faint mole on the tip of his ear. He chuckled and said, "I have a real brother, but I don't have a good relationship with him, so I can't say whether I like it or not." , I have almost no impression of him, and there is a big brother I knew when I was young..."
Shen Heng paused for a moment, he looked at Gu Zhengqing, his tone was very light but extremely serious: "I like him very much."
Gu Zhengqing continued to ask: "Then have you been in touch with him recently?"
Shen Heng nodded, "I used to think that he was a warm person like the sun, but I just found out that he has not lived as well as I imagined these years. I am very distressed and regretful. Why didn't I come back to him earlier .”
Gu Zhengqing looked into Shen Heng's eyes, the softest part of his heart was poked, he said softly: "Don't blame yourself, everyone has their own way, your brother needs to face it alone, you can come back With him, he is already very happy."
Shen Heng was stunned for a few seconds when he heard the words, then he twitched the corners of his mouth and squirmed his lips, "But I hope he never gets hurt."
Seeing the shape of Shen Heng's mouth, Gu Zhengqing suddenly felt very sad for some reason, like an immature fruit exploded in his heart, very sour.
He wrinkled his nose, trying to adjust his inexplicable emotions.
He turned around, stared at the ceiling and said, "It's getting late, you'd better go to bed early, or you won't be able to get up early tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Heng asked suddenly: "What does Sun Yuning call you now?"
Gu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Shen Heng would suddenly ask such a question, and blinked before saying, "He just called me Brother Gu, why did you suddenly ask this?"
Shen Heng chuckled, "Because I care a little bit."
Gu Zhengqing turned around in puzzlement and looked at Shen Heng.
He had never seen Shen Heng like this.
The eyeballs were as black as a deep sea without light, and also like a mysterious universe. Just looking at each other, they sank deeply into it uncontrollably, and were completely stripped of consciousness.
The dim light hit Shen Heng's body, embroidering him with a circle of gold, because his back was against the light, Shen Heng's side face was hidden in the darkness, his expression was dim and unclear, and his eyes were firmly locked on him.
Gu Zhengqing felt like a weak and harmless deer, being targeted by a bloodthirsty wolf, and completely lost the ability to escape.
Gu Zhengqing's Adam's apple rolled, as if bewitched, he looked at Shen Heng without blinking, his mind went blank, he almost forgot who he was.
Shen Heng stood up and approached little by little, covering Gu Zhengqing in his own shadow.
Time is infinitely slowed down.
Shen Heng looked at being trapped under him, with wide eyes, like a silly weak prey that didn't even know how to escape when its fangs approached its fragile neck, and chuckled softly, with a deep and hoarse voice that made people tremble : "Mr. Gu, can I ask you something."
Seeing Shen Heng's foul appearance, Gu Zhengqing surrendered his rationality long ago, like a faint king who lost his power and humiliated the country, he would give Shen Heng whatever he wanted.
"What, what?" After speaking, he realized that his voice was very hoarse.
Shen Heng lowered his voice, and said in Gu Zhengqing's ear: "From now on, can I call you, brother."
The author has something to say: danger.
Call me brother during the day, call me brother at night
