Night Labyrinth

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, I looked around the hut that belonged to her and him.

The colors of the sofa and wallpaper are light and tranquil, the light from the overhead light is bright and warm, and the photos of her and him are hung or placed on the walls and shelves.

In every picture, she smiled so sweetly, while his smile was so hearty.

Those bright smiles hurt my eyes.

I turned my head, and the man named Lin Yue was walking over with a glass of water.

He is the owner of this room, this is...their...home...

"Drink a glass of water first, your senior sister is cooking, it will be ready in a while." This man is very thoughtful in terms of smile and actions.

"Thank you." I took a sip from the cup.

Maybe crying made me lose the water in my body, I was indeed a little thirsty.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet. Your senior sister didn't introduce me, really." The man looked at me with a smile.

"My name is Lu Fei." I replied.

"Luffy, which Luffy, is it the one from One Piece?" The man joked, as if trying to ease my restraint.

"It's the way of the road, Fang Fei's Fei." If he wasn't He Lin's boyfriend, I think I would have a crush on him because of his character.

"Oh, that's a pretty good name." The man thought for a while and said.

"Thank you." I replied flatly.

The smell of food came from the kitchen, and I suddenly thought of a time when Shuling once said to me, "Isn't He Lin's family from this city? She should take you to her house and cook a meal for you."

I have never been to He Lin's home in the same city as the university, but now I have come to her and his "home".

I finally tasted the rice cooked by He Lin himself, but it was because of this kind of irony.

"Lu Fei." The man called me.

I withdrew my thoughts and looked at him.

I found that his smile was still steady and thoughtful, but brought something serious.

"actually, I……"

"Lin Yue, come and help! You just know how to eat!" He Lin suddenly shouted in the kitchen.

"I'm going to help." The man smiled at me apologetically, got up and went to the kitchen.

I heard them seem to be whispering something.

I can't hear it, and I don't want to hear it.

After a while, He Lin came out from the kitchen.

She sat next to me, picked up another water glass and took half a glass of water, took a sip and said to me, "Do you watch TV? That guy doesn't know how to turn it on for you."

After He Lin finished speaking, he turned on the TV and put the remote control into my hand.

"I don't know what to watch, I don't have a TV in the dormitory anymore." I handed the remote control back to He Lin.

He Lin reached out to take it, and then stared at me.

I was very uncomfortable being looked at by her, and I lowered my head to avoid her sight.

"You are still the same as before." He Lin burst out laughing.

"Really?" But you're different, I thought sadly.

"Yeah." He Lin didn't say anything, picked up the remote control and started looking for a station.

He Lin pressed the switch button.

"It's impossible for me and you..."

Pa, He Lin pressed the switch minus button again.

"Today's transaction volume..."

He Lin pressed the switch button again.

"Come on, let's ask the bride and groom to tell everyone how they met back then."

"How did you and Lin Yue meet?" I asked.

He Lin stopped his finger pressing the switch button.

"Because of this house." She looked at me and smiled.

"house?"

"Yes, this is a two-bedroom apartment. We were just renting together, each sharing a room, and then..." I saw a trace of shyness hidden in He Lin's smile, and this emotion deeply hurt my eyes. "Emotions developed."

"Oh, near the water tower, sunny flowers and trees, very good." I picked up the water glass and took two sips, and the remaining half glass of water bottomed out.

"I'll get you some more." After He Lin finished speaking, he picked up the cup I used and went to the water dispenser to pick up water.

On TV, the groom and the bride are still saying moving vows at the wedding.I can't help but think that He Lin will marry this man named Lin Yue in the future.

She will wear a wedding dress as white as new snow, pure and beautiful as an elf in a fairyland, and then step by step towards him, towards her lover, they will repeat the vows of mutual dependence, she will say I do, and then he will kiss her, She will be his wife and they will be a happy family...

"Here." He Lin handed me a full glass of water.

"Thank you." I reached out to pick it up.

"What's wrong with you?" She looked surprised at my expression.

"What?" I subconsciously raised my hand to touch my hair, and when I rubbed my palm over my cheek, I realized that it was actually cold.

I didn't know when I burst into tears.

He Lin took out two papers from the side drawer and handed them to me.

While wiping in a panic, I tried to make an embarrassed smile, "Conjunctivitis, it's conjunctivitis again."

"What's the matter? He was crying and laughing." The man came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands on the apron, looked at me in surprise, and said, "Did you, sister He Lin, bully you? I'll clean it up for you." she."

"No, it's conjunctivitis, and sometimes my eyes suddenly hurt." I have wiped away my tears, but my eye sockets are still swollen.

"Oh, conjunctivitis, your senior sister also has it, and she looks at the computer every day, just in time, ask her to give you some eye drops." The man went back to the kitchen after finishing speaking.

"I'll get you eye drops." He Lin got up from the sofa and was about to go to the bedroom.

"No, it's fine." I said.

But He Lin has already walked in.

Snapped.

She turned on the ceiling light in the bedroom.

"Why don't you come over and I'll give you some." He Lin's voice came out.

"Oh." I walked towards her and finally walked into the room.

Standing at the door, I looked at the furnishings in the room.

The bedroom...that's right...it's her and his bedroom, it's their bedroom...

In addition to the photo of the two of them, there are also two pillows and two quilts on the bed...

Every detail of this room tells me that there is not one person living here, but "them".

I feel like tears are coming again.

"Come in, I'll give you some eye drops." He Lin sat by the bed and smiled at me.

I walked towards her step by step, each step was difficult.

Finally, I sat on the edge of the bed, on the edge of their bed.

"Lie down, I'll help you." He Lin picked up the medicine bottle.

I obediently fell on my back on their bed.

He Lin approached me, bent down, his face was getting closer and closer to me, and my whole body was stiff.

"Don't move." He Lin said and opened my eyelids.

Her white and slender fingers touched my skin.

A drop of cold liquid fell into my eye, and my eyelashes trembled involuntarily.

"Don't move." He Lin repeated again.

A drop of cold liquid also fell into the other eye, and then slid straight out from the corner of the eye.

"Oh, it's coming out." He Lin wiped my face with his hands, wiping away the mixture of the line of medicine and tears.

"Okay." She put away the medicine, and I got up from the bed.

The moist feeling in my eyes brought back my tears, and I hurried to the small balcony connected to the master bedroom.

It's dark here, I should have time to wipe away my tears.

The balcony is not big, and to my surprise, it is not completely sealed. Standing here, I can feel the cold wind outside.

I lay on the balcony, raised my head and tried to let the tears flow back.

"What are you looking at?" He Lin came over and stood beside me.

"Look at the stars." I said casually.

"There are very few stars in the sky of Beijing." He Lin smiled and looked up.

"There is really one that is particularly bright." She suddenly pointed to somewhere in the night sky.

Her voice is close at hand, but as far away as the night sky.

I followed her instructions and saw the star shining alone in the dark night.

"Yeah." I said, exhaling a white breath from my mouth.

"It's so cold, let's go back." After He Lin finished speaking, he walked into the house first.

I wiped her eye sockets vigorously at the moment when she turned her back, and then quickly followed her.

"Why isn't this balcony sealed?" I looked back as I approached the bedroom door.

It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and thieves may climb up along it, making it very unsafe.

"I don't know, it was like this when I came here." He Lin replied.

"Won't it be cold to sleep at night?"

"Fortunately, there is air conditioning."

We walked back to the living room, and the man named Lin Yue had already put the food on the table.

"Girls, go wash your hands, we can start eating." The man said as he opened the chairs for He Lin and me.
