Ning Yixiao always thinks that her heart is like a rock, and she has only lived to climb up, and she will never be shaken by anything or anyone.

Most of his interactions with people are utilitarian, and he will consider whether the other party can help him and make some contributions to his next plan.He will judge when everyone is close to each other, do investigations, and whether he can be friends depends on whether it is helpful. For example, all the teachers who have taught him, such as students who have published a lot of papers, and seniors who have referral resources .

Ning Yixiao knew very well that he was a vulgar and indifferent person.

but.

When the word "but" appeared in Ning Yixiao's mind, at that moment, he kept reminding himself that he and Su Hui were people from two worlds.

The gap between them is like the sun hanging in the sky, no matter how you avoid it, it will always exist and cannot be erased.

Obviously Su Hui is a type worth using, with a prominent family background, rich and powerful.In Ning Yixiao's vulgar value judgment, it is a very useful type.

But he was instinctively afraid of approaching, he didn't want to judge, he didn't want to investigate.

He is such a realistic person, but he doesn't want to know what level of leader Su Hui's grandfather is, or how much his family's assets are. Even if he knows, it won't tempt him.

Ning Yixiao didn't even want to figure out why Su Hui was willing to approach him, and how close was the next step.

He seemed to be standing in front of a beautiful vortex, and he knew very well that if he went any further, he might not be able to escape.

"Forget it?" Ning Yixiao stepped back and smiled, "Maybe wearing this will make you feel better, and it doesn't matter if anyone finds out."

Always smooth, he abruptly returned to the previous topic, "I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I'm not used to sleeping with other people. I'm sorry, but I'll take you home."

Such words are straightforward enough, unexpectedly Su Hui laughed, "But in the study room, it was only you and me, and you slept soundly at that time."

Ning Yixiao twitched the corners of his mouth, "I was very tired at that time."

"You are also very tired now."

Su Hui's straightforwardness is effortless and not annoying, a kind of strong free will, "I can tell that you are unhappy and tired."

The smile on Ning Yixiao's face gradually sank, and he didn't speak.

Sometimes he is very envious of Su Hui's straightforwardness and innocence.

The silence between the two was very short, and suddenly there was the sound of closing the door outside, followed by a few words of laughter from a man and a woman.

Su Hui tilted her head slightly and looked at Ning Yixiao.

"It should be a couple I share the rent with. They are back." Ning Yixiao explained, "I just moved in. I heard from the landlord, and I haven't met them yet."

Su Hui nodded, and said with a smile, "Since there are still two people, I won't be too many."

Ning Yixiao was almost amused by his logic, and felt that he shouldn't argue with drunk people, "They don't live in the same room as me."

Su Hui uttered a subtle onomatopoeia like a kitten, before speaking again after a long time, "Okay then, I'm leaving."

As he spoke, he leaned on the edge of the bed and tried very hard to stand up, but found that it was not so easy.

"Are you going home?" Ning Yixiao reached out to help him.

Su Hui shook his head honestly, "No reply."

"Then where are you going?"

"Just..." Su Hui's eyes were still a little confused, "Just play casually nearby, take a stroll, and the night will pass quickly."

He said so, and he also thought that he could press the road in the early morning, and even thought about going to the Drum Tower.

Ning Yixiao frowned slightly, "What's there to do outside at night? The shops are closed."

Su Hui's thoughts were muddled, and he answered his words, "There are also shops that open at night..."

He still wanted to continue, but Ning Yixiao suddenly compromised: "Forget it, you stay."

do not know why.Su Hui still had the unspoken [24-hour convenience store] in his mind, so after thinking about it, he decided to give up, anyway, the goal was achieved.

Without warning, he took out the air conditioner and laid it on the floor, then found a thin blanket from the suitcase and put it on the bed.

"You go to bed," he said.

Su Hui immediately said, "No, I'll just sleep on the floor."

"You are not in good health, the bed is a bit small, it will be just one night." After speaking, Ning Yixiao opened the door to wash up.

Su Hui sat quietly on the bed, maybe it was pathological excitement, which made him feel that there were a lot of things he wanted to say to Ning Yixiao, but the medicine pulled him, and the desire to become normal also pulled him, so that he could remain normal dialogue.

He's never been afraid to act like an outlier in front of anyone in the past.

When Ning Yixiao appeared, Su Hui not only expected him to discover his differences, but also hoped that he would not be afraid.

Ning Yixiao was as strange as he was, never asked more questions, never asked who he had conflicts with, why he deliberately made people unhappy, never asked about drinking, never wondered why he didn't go home, didn't ask him anything Weird words and deeds all show a huge tolerance, which is almost close to indifference.

He was originally a cold person, Su Hui thought.

But soon Su Hui dismissed this idea, Ning Yixiao was not indifferent, when he really wanted to leave alone, his heart softened again.

Until before falling asleep, Su Hui stared at Ning Yixiao's back lying on his side, staring at his old black shirt that was turning white, and at the same time kept telling himself to be quiet, just think about it, and don't make a sound.

He is willing to go out of his way at a decent birthday party, but he doesn't want to disturb Ning Yi's sleep.

It's a pity that the couple next door is far less considerate than him. The sound insulation of the wall is poor, and some small and rapid sounds can be faintly heard, like a picture through frosted glass. It is not clear, but it is fascinating.

Su Hui lay quietly, a little distracted, the voices from the next room became more and more obvious, the groans could not be covered up at all, and she was panting heavily.

Ning Yixiao did not fall asleep.

As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Su Hui showing him the nail in his tongue flashed in front of his eyes, endlessly, so he had to turn his back to the bed and keep his eyes open. Just after a while, there was a movement next door.

This was the first night he stayed here, and he didn't expect that the couple was having a hot fight, completely in a state of love.

Thinking of Su Hui saying that he didn't need to sleep, Ning Yixiao wanted to sigh.He was next to the wall, and the bed was so hard that there was not even a mattress, so the young master might not be able to sleep even if he wanted to.

Thinking that he had a pair of earplugs, he turned around and asked Su Hui if he needed them.Turning around, Ning Yixiao saw that Su Hui was like a small animal who couldn't understand human desires at all, with a simple expression and wide-open eyes, very empty.

Seeing Ning Yixiao turn around, Su Hui blinked slowly.

Ning Yixiao lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want earplugs? The sound insulation in this room is poor."

Su Hui shook his head.

Ning Yixiao originally thought that he didn't want to talk, but he didn't expect him to speak again suddenly.

"I really want to knock on the door."

what?

Ning Yixiao was taken aback.

"But going at this time will scare them?" Su Hui said softly to himself, as if he was really thinking about this proposal seriously.

"Don't go, it will be better if you wear earplugs, you can hardly hear, there is no need to argue with them because of this." Ning Yixiao leaned closer to the bedside, and reached out to find the earplug box he put next to the pillow.

"No." Su Hui's voice was much closer, and he also moved closer, his eyes were particularly bright in the dark night, "I'm just a little curious."

Ning Yixiao's hands stopped, "What are you curious about?"

Su Hui's expression was very serious, and he even had a clear thirst for knowledge, "They seem to be very happy, are they so comfortable?"

At the same time as he said these words, the movement next door suddenly became much louder, but he retracted quickly, breathing heavily and having hot flashes.

Ning Yixiao's heart was more depressed than theirs, and he looked at Su Hui in the dark night and panting.

"That's all you want to ask?" he asked.

Su Hui nodded, his eyes were moist.

"Shouldn't you be familiar with this kind of thing?"

In the darkness, Ning Yixiao's voice was a little colder than before.

Su Hui's voice was puzzled, "What?"

"They all say you have a lot of... playmates." He didn't know what words to use to describe it appropriately without being offensive.

Even though he searched for this word, he still felt reckless after blurting it out, like catching a glimpse of a glowing fish at the bottom of the lake in the dark, but choosing to throw a stone into the lake.

The passion climbed to the boiling point, and the air seemed to be stuck on the other side of the wall.

After the ripples cleared, he heard Su Hui's soft laughter.

"So you're curious about me too?"

Ning Yixiao was choked up by his words for a moment, this kind of conversation happened often between them, it's not unusual.It's like playing a game of spinning the bottle, Su Hui neither admits nor denies it, just turns the bottle in a teasing gesture, pushing the mouth of the bottle towards him, if he admits it, he seems to be at a disadvantage.

So Ning Yixiao just kept silent.

The tranquility between them makes the warmth and intimacy next door more clear, teasing, loving words, and the sweet residual warmth between lovers permeates this thin wall, spreading heat.

In the end, it was Su Hui who broke the quietness that was about to move.

"Ning Yixiao."

"Ok?"

"I'm so hungry, do you have anything here for me?"

He changed the subject and moved closer, almost to the edge of the bed.

This seemed to give Ning Yixiao a step, so he didn't struggle too much, stepped over the previous topic, and took a new thread thrown by Su Hui.

"I gonna go see."

"Wait, I'll be with you." Su Hui quickly got out of bed and followed Ning Yixiao.He felt that Ning Yixiao actually wanted to stop him, but because of his fast pace, he swallowed it back.

Both of them were very afraid of disturbing the people in the next room, so they tacitly walked lightly and came to the kitchen one after the other.

It was too dark to see clearly, but Ning Yixiao seemed to have the ability to live in the dark, walking through the corridor very freely, not forgetting to wait for Su Hui.

Su Hui is a young master who lives in a splendid building, a person floating in the clouds, he doesn't know how to get around the small dark room full of garbage and sundries.

There was no door to the kitchen, Ning Yixiao groped for the door frame, didn't turn on the light, just walked over and opened the refrigerator door.

The warm yellow light was fluffy, sprinkled in this small kitchen, Su Hui clearly saw Ning Yixiao standing in front of the refrigerator, rummaging through it, frowning slightly, and finally took out a plastic bag from it.

"Only this." Ning Yixiao explained, "The dishes inside are theirs, not mine, so I can't make them for you."

"It's okay." Su Hui approached, "What is this?"

Through the plastic film, he saw the shape of the fruit.Ning Yixiao untied the bag, and there were two peaches inside.

He took out one, turned on the faucet to wash it, and handed it to Su Hui, "You can eat whatever you want, and fill your stomach. If you are really hungry, I will take you out."

"Peaches are fine, I like them very much." Su Hui took them over. The peaches were so big that they could barely be held with one hand. They were soft and white with a rich red.

"When did you buy it?" Su Hui lowered his head halfway, and took a bite very politely. Obviously, he didn't expect too much juice, and he was a little caught off guard, but the well-trained tutor made Su Hui feel like a condition. The clockwork doll of reflection, calm and calm, handled it quietly and appropriately.

The warm light of the refrigerator filled the place like mist. Su Hui's face was vivid and beautiful, translucent juice was stained on her lips, and the hand holding Tao Zi was covered with sweet liquid.

"Do you want to eat?" After cleaning the clothes, Su Hui looked up at Ning Yixiao and handed it over, "It's very sweet."

Ning Yixiao refused, but he felt hot.

"Why buy it if you don't eat it?" Su Hui raised her eyes in doubt, and sipped the pink peach juice from her lips.

Ning Yixiao didn't speak, some memories floated up.

It was just one day ago, when he finished class, he was so exhausted that he almost fell asleep standing up on the bus. When he came down, he happened to see an old man selling peaches. The baskets were piled up with pink, fresh and beautiful peaches. Neat and looking clean and fresh.

For some reason, he thought of Su Hui who was wearing a pink top, his plump and transparent cheeks, the fine fluff on his face under the sun, and the innocence that filled his whole body.

But the price is not cheap, two will cost him 14 yuan.

At this moment, Su Hui stretched out a hand that smelled of peaches, and waved it in front of Ning Yixiao's eyes, staring at him with a pair of big eyes.

Ning Yixiao came back to his senses, cleared his throat, "I just saw it, thought it was good, just came to find the landlord to get the keys to move things, I bought two by the way, put them in the refrigerator, and eat them when I have time."

He couldn't say that it was because he saw Tao Zi and thought of him that he stopped there by accident.

"Okay." Su Hui nodded, took a small bite of the remaining peach, and reached out to Ning Yixiao, "Would you like to try it, it's very sweet."

"You can eat." Ning Yixiao said no, but Su Hui's hand was always outstretched, so he had to hold it, wanting to pull him back.

The refrigerator door was left open, and there was a beeping warning sound. The two of them were tugging, and suddenly heard a sound from outside.

"Hey? You are our new roommate, right?"

The boy's skin is very dark, and he is shorter than Ning Yixiao, so he needs to raise his head to meet his gaze.

"Yeah." Ning Yixiao let go of Su Hui's hand, cleared his throat, "Hello."

When the boy saw him, he smiled embarrassingly, scratched his hair stubble, and turned his head to look at Su Hui. The moment his eyes met his face, he was obviously startled and stared at him for a long time, until Ning Yixiao coughed.

"Ah, I'm sorry. My name is Wang Cong. I heard from the landlord that there is only one boy in my roommate. I didn't expect there to be two." Wang Cong said, not seeing Ning Yixiao wanting to explain, and continued on his own, "I didn't expect my roommate to be a handsome guy. You all look like celebrities. I want to pour a glass of milk for my girlfriend, so what..."

Ning Yixiao immediately gave way to Su Hui, stood beside Su Hui, glanced down at the remaining peaches in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Eat so slowly."

Su Hui looked up at him, and whispered, "No, it's because it's too big."

Wang Cong took a bag of milk from the refrigerator and looked at the two of them while pouring the milk. He didn't notice that the milk almost overflowed from the cup.

"Hey, your milk." Su Hui saw it and immediately reminded him.

"Oh oh oh! Oh, it's okay, it's okay, just a little bit." Wang Cong smiled at him embarrassedly, and picked up the milk, "Then what, I won't bother you, you guys...you go on , go on, good night."

Quickly and carefully he took the milk and went away, leaving only the two of them.

When she heard the sound of the other party closing the bedroom door, Su Hui suddenly laughed.

Ning Yixiao looked at him, obviously it was an embarrassing occasion, but he smiled, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.He took a sip, pressed it down, and asked Su Hui, "Aren't you curious? The parties involved came to you just now, why didn't you ask?"

Su Hui knew what he was talking about, and took another sip of the peach in her hand.

"Suddenly I don't want to ask."

"why?"

Su Hui looked directly at Ning Yixiao's face, with a light tone.

"I think I will know in the future, don't ask him."
