Ning Yixiao had nothing to do with him.

He couldn't look directly into Su Hui's eyes, and he didn't want to turn his face away, let alone get up and leave cruelly.

So he stretched out his hand, and his wide palm covered Su Hui's face without warning.

"Well?"

Su Hui's vision was suddenly blocked, and Ning Yixiao didn't expect that.He grabbed Ning Yixiao's wrist and broke it open, "What are you doing..."

Ning Yixiao used this to evade Su Hui's seriousness, and did not answer his question, but only said: "When I don't let you appear in the future, don't show up, it's very dangerous."

It's like a default permission.

Su Hui nodded, "I know."

Only then did Ning Yixiao take away his hand, retract it, and look at the busy road not far away.

He didn't know what would happen if he got closer.He has never lived a happy life since he was a child, and he is always very sensitive to the advent of danger, such as a severe beating and bullying after being surrounded, he can predict these very accurately.

Su Hui is the most dangerous and dangerous event among them, but it is also the most beautiful.Ning Yixiao knew that she was sinking soberly.

"Then do you think I'm annoying?" Su Hui looked at him.

Ning Yixiao answered irrelevant questions again, very stubbornly, "I don't want to involve you."

Su Hui couldn't understand, and even felt that Ning Yixiao was too careful, "No, how could it hurt me?"

"You don't know how scary these people are." Ning Yixiao tolerated Su Hui's innocence and didn't explain too much to him. He felt that Su Hui didn't need to understand the feeling of being chased to pay off debts, and didn't need to be in danger. You don't need to know what it's like to be hit on the back of the head with a brick, either.

He just needs to enjoy life.

Turning her head, Ning Yixiao stared at Su Hui's exposed calf, which was white and had a few bulging red bumps left on it.

"How long have you been waiting, can't you feel bitten by mosquitoes?"

"Not long." Su Hui looked down, "Really, there are a lot of mosquitoes."

"Let's go." Ning Yixiao stood up.

Su Hui also stood up quickly and asked him if he would go to the seminar.

Ning Yixiao walked into the small shop, bought a bottle of mosquito repellent spray and a pack of disinfectant paper towels, passed the spray to Su Hui, and opened the paper towels to wipe her hands.He rubbed very hard, as if he wanted to get rid of all the dirty and bad things adhering to his body, and his skin soon turned red.

"Go?" Su Hui asked again.

"Go. It's public expenses anyway." Ning Yixiao seemed indifferent, but in fact, even if he would be reimbursed, he would still need to save 1 yuan for air tickets to pay in advance, which almost cost him a part-time job this semester. tutoring income.

But Su Hui was very happy to hear that, and said whatever came to mind, speaking quickly, "I want to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Chelsea in New York, there are many galleries there, the whole street is full, oh yes, there are many There is the New Museum of Contemporary Art, you know, that building looks like a stack of boxes, oh yes, I heard that there is an exhibition by Urs Fischer recently..."

Ning Yixiao listened quietly, and couldn't help remembering it in her heart.

While Su Hui was talking, he felt himself disintegrating, and the other self could find that he was out of control, as if there was a hole in his body that was getting bigger and bigger, and everything was leaking down——If you can’t finish talking, gradually restrain yourself The small movements that can't be stopped, and a heart that is getting closer and closer to Ning Yixiao.

Don't want to scare him.

As if suddenly awakened from a dream, Su Hui paused, stood where she was, and stopped talking.

Ning Yixiao also stopped and looked at him, "What's wrong?"

Su Hui looked down at the time, "It's too late, I should go back."

Ning Yixiao nodded, "I'll see you off."

"No, I'll take a taxi back." Su Hui looked at him, "It's far away."

Su Hui's clothes always seem to be too big, framed on him, and the neckline is always crooked if it is too big. Every time Ning Yixiao sees it, he wants to tidy it up for him, but he never does it.

He was afraid that he would become more confused, or make some other disturbing actions subconsciously.

Su Hui said she wanted to leave, but her eyes wanted to stay.The neon lights of the building are reflected in his pupils, like two candles fluttering in the wind, which will be extinguished in the next second.

Ning Yixiao smiled lightly, raised his chin, "Let's go."

He watched Su Hui get into the car, and also watched him lie on the car window, like a kitten being given away, his eyes wide open without saying a word, and he gradually disappeared into the traffic.

The retreat plan failed repeatedly, and Ning Yixiao began to doubt his determination.

He, who has always been realistic, even began to have unrealistic fantasies, what would happen if Su Hui wasn't so untouchable, if he wasn't burdened, and he didn't have the fate of being parasitized by poverty and embarrassment.

The lifespan of fantasy is short, a credit card payment information is enough to kill, it is very fragile.

After returning home, Su Hui inevitably scolded her, but thinking about Ning Yixiao's injured appearance, he couldn't help being a little distracted, so he didn't care that much.Back in the room, he packed a lot of things, and finally found that most of them may not be needed, the most important thing is the medicine, there are many, many medicines, and it will be abnormal if it is missing even once.

He began to be afraid of taking medicine in front of Ning Yixiao, afraid that Ning Yixiao would be curious, to find out what disease these medicines were curing, and afraid that he would hate him.

Ji Tailu regarded this going abroad as a first-level dangerous incident, and he talked and said, even picking out the security guards who were going to be sent out several times.Su Hui stood on the balcony on the second floor and looked at the security guards downstairs, feeling a little sad for no reason.

He didn't want to live like this for the rest of his life.

Going downstairs and through the back garden, he accidentally overheard the conversation between Xu Zhi and the new driver Feng Zhiguo.

"Didn't you tell me to go? I came here only after listening to your words. Now I can't do anything except drive. "

Xu Zhi's voice was very distinguishable, with a disguised kindness.

"I said it, but you're just a driver now, do your job."

"You..." Feng Zhiguo was angry at first, but he had nothing to vent, and lowered his posture, "The main reason is that my son is also going this time, send me with him, and I can still accompany him."

"You can't do security work." After Xu Zhi said this, he left.

Su Hui squatted under the rose wall, picked up a few weeds, and stayed quietly for a while, making sure that no one came back to the room.

Before departure, he had a quarrel with his family. All the teachers and students who participated in the seminar had booked economy-class air tickets, but Ji Tailu insisted that he and three security guards fly in business class to separate from the large group.

In the end, it was grandma who came forward to solve the problem and allowed Su Hui to be with other people after negotiation.Before leaving, she called Su Hui to her room, and gave him a small red transfer bead, the size of a mung bean, strung together with a thin platinum chain.

"I'll put it on for you." Grandma unbuttoned it, "I asked for this before, and it works very well." She put it on and adjusted the beads, "Grandma's life is safe and sound, and I will bless you in the future." you."

Su Hui didn't want grandma to give him good luck, "Grandma, you should wear it."

"Be obedient." She smiled kindly, and touched Su Hui's cheek, "When you go there, you should play with your classmates and friends more, and don't be alone, you know?"

"Yeah." Su Hui hugged her and let her grandma pat her on the back.

Nevertheless, he still prayed in his heart, begging the Bodhisattva to keep his grandmother healthy and safe.He can do whatever he wants.

The plane was at nine o'clock in the morning, and Su Hui arrived at the airport early.As an adult, it would be strange to be followed by security guards, so Su Hui bought them cigarettes and asked them to follow them from a little further away.

Ning Yixiao came with a few classmates.In the crowd, Su Hui saw him at a glance. He was wearing a simple black short-sleeved shirt and gray trousers. He was tall and slender and stood out among the crowd.

Su Hui's earphones were playing music, and lyrics full of hints and encouragement flowed through his body, but he still didn't move.Ning Yixiao, who was surrounded by the crowd, looked at him and licked the corners of his mouth, as if greeting him.

He also raised his head, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes and small silver earrings under the brim of his hat.

The sky that day was flawless blue, just like the sea in Su Hui's imagination.Whether it is through the floor-to-ceiling glass in the waiting hall or the narrow windows in the cabin, it is beautiful and amazing to look at.

But his mood didn't improve because the seats were allocated according to the department, he didn't get the chance to sit in the same row as Ning Yixiao, the thirteen-hour flight was as long as a bad movie on loop.

Su Hui was half asleep and half awake, his consciousness was blocked by the narrow seat, and he became more drowsy after taking the medicine. The students around him were not familiar with him, and there was no one to talk to.

It was already late at night when we got off the plane, but the bustling here seemed to never go out.The bus drove them to the central city, Su Hui felt dizzy, and had no time to watch the night scene and the streets full of traffic.

The phone vibrated, and it took him a long time to find it.

[Ning Yixiao: Not feeling well? ]

A small dark corner of Su Hui's heart was suddenly lit up.

[Kitten: Well, I feel a little nauseous. ]

Ning Yixiao stared at the screen, unconsciously typed the words "little sick child", and then deleted them.

[Ning Yixiao: Get out of the car and buy some water. ]

[Kitten: Go back to the hotel first. ]

[Kitten: You don't want to live with others. ]

Ning Yixiao felt that he was beginning to show self-willedness towards him, but for some reason, even though he was very happy in his heart, the subconscious retreat never stopped.

[Ning Yixiao: Yes. ]

He looked at the bustling night outside the window, wondering if one day he could also be integrated into this place, not just a visitor.

If he couldn't do it, couldn't climb to such a high position, Ning Yixiao would rather he never came here.

The same is true for Su Hui.

The bus stopped at a star-rated hotel that looked good. Professor Wang's teaching assistant helped to distribute the room cards and asked everyone to temporarily allocate rooms.Many people invited Ning Yixiao, thinking that he was reliable and friendly, and would be a good roommate.But unexpectedly, Ning Yixiao didn't say yes or no, but just smoothed things over with a smile.

Su Hui came over, didn't mention the room, only said that he was dizzy, Ning Yixiao took the room card and his luggage, followed him as promised.

This time, two people came to the Department of Computer Science, different from Ning Yixiao, who is very popular, and Feng Cheng, who is used to being withdrawn.

He looked at Ning Yixiao and Su Hui who were walking towards the elevator first, and remained motionless.

"How is it now?" Ning Yixiao swiped his room card, and the elevator went up, staring at Su Hui.

"It's better." Su Hui nodded. His hair grew very fast. He obviously cut it not long ago, but now it seems to have returned to the appearance of the first time he saw him.

"You feel uncomfortable because there are too many people." Ning Yixiao hit the nail on the head.

He is a kitten who needs his own space.

Su Hui raised his eyes, his eyes were filled with unwillingness to be punctured, but he quickly lowered his head and admitted, "Yes, it's because there are too many people."

When the elevator arrived, Ning Yixiao pressed the door button to let him go out first, "And the seat is too small."

"Yes, I have nowhere to put my legs." Su Hui nodded.

"Any more?" Ning Yixiao was amused by him.

Su Hui thought about it.

What's more, I haven't stayed with you for thirteen hours.

"Jet lag is hard." He gave an answer against his will, waiting for Ning Yixiao to open the door.

The security guards sent by grandpa lived on the same floor as him. Thinking of this, Su Hui felt annoyed.But the moment he opened the door, the pretty standard room made him feel much better.The door was facing the balcony, the window was open, and the wind carrying the scent of tuberose was blowing in.

Su Hui walked quickly to the balcony, leaned out half of his body and looked out. This place is located in an old neighborhood, and there is a kind of quiet beauty at night. Three young people walked downstairs, holding dangling beer bottles, in the silent Passionate voices collided in the dark night.

They suddenly called each other's name very loudly, laughed, and then galloped across the street, loud and free.

He couldn't say why, but he liked it very much. The only regret was that he couldn't see the sea.

"Su Hui."

He turned around and saw Ning Yixiao standing by the bed, asking him if he wanted to take a bath first.

Ning Yixiao was dressed as if to seal off all desires, her expression was very calm, and she looked very upright.But Su Hui imagined some not-so-good scenes out of time.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yixiao saw that he was stunned, and asked again.

"It's nothing." Su Hui lowered his eyes, didn't look at him, and walked back from the balcony, "You wash first, I want to sit down." Saying that, he walked to the soft leather sofa beside him.There was the hotel's order book on the coffee table, so he picked it up and took a look.

The bathroom door was closed, and the sound of water could be heard. Su Hui couldn't stop her hallucination, like water flowing on the floor, about to overflow.He had no choice but to continue flipping through the menu, but he couldn't eat any food, and he just felt dry mouth.

With her fingertips resting on the last page, Su Hui looked at it and picked up the hotel phone to make a call.

In the process of taking a bath, Ning Yixiao heard the sound of the door opening and thought he heard it wrong.After washing, he wiped the misted mirror and glanced at the wound on the corner of his mouth, which was almost healed.

Ning Yixiao unconsciously thought of the way Su Hui treated his wounds, and the way he looked carefully was also very beautiful.

But he doesn't want a next time.

Putting on loose clothes, he came out with a wet body, closed the bathroom door, and found Su Hui lying on the balcony railing again.

It doesn't feel very safe all the time.Ning Yixiao wiped her hair with her own towel and walked towards the balcony.He heard a slight humming, very softly, and Su Hui's head shook slightly, fluffy like a doll.

"What are you doing lying here?" Ning Yixiao was used to talking to him from behind to scare him.

But Su Hui was not frightened this time, and reacted slowly, "Huh?" He turned around, holding a bottle of foreign wine in his hand.

Ning Yixiao was stunned, and took the wine from him, "Why are you drinking? Did you bring it here?"

Su Hui pointed to the room, made a gesture of making a phone call, and said slowly, "The wine I ordered just now... has a bit high alcohol content."

With his hands on the balcony railing, he stood firmer, smiled at Ning Yixiao, and announced in a rather proud tone: "I'm drunk."

This is the first time Ning Yixiao discovered that there are also drunks who would honestly face the fact that they were drunk.

"Really?" He smiled, deliberately teasing him.

"Hmm..." The night wind in New York was warm, and even his voice was softened by alcohol.

Su Hui slowly nodded her head twice, then suddenly stretched out her hand, imagining that she was wrapping around the other party like a green vine, holding Ning Yixiao's face with hot fingers.

Ning Yixiao froze in place, and before he could push away, Su Hui stood on tiptoe, hooked him to lean forward, and naturally pressed his cheek against Ning Yixiao's cool face to exchange body temperature.

"Am I hot?"
