Haunted Places Live

The warm sunlight fell on the eyelids in winter, and Chu Yang slowly opened his eyes.

Unable to remember where he was for a moment, he groaned, turned around, covered his head with the quilt, and suddenly heard a low laugh.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, do you still want to sleep?"

Chu Yang muttered vaguely, "Just sleep for a while..."

"Get up! I'm hungry!" Lynch threw off Chu Yang's quilt, "The second day of the public holiday, are you going to sleep like this!"

The memory came back to his mind bit by bit, and Chu Yang blinked slowly.

Two weeks have passed since I left Shanghai and returned to Beijing.The Christmas dinner that was originally planned to be eaten was not completed due to his mental state, and even New Year's Day was spent in chaos.

The first few days passed like hell, he didn't dare to go out, doing various obsessive-compulsive rituals at home over and over again.

Before going to bed, the slippers should be placed at a specific subtle angle, and the clothes should be placed one by one beside him, with all the cuffs aligned, because he is inexplicably afraid that there will be a sudden fire at home, so that he can put on the shoes and clothes in the shortest possible time. Clothes escape.Before going out, I have to turn the doorknob ten times. Sometimes I am counting, but suddenly I am not sure if I am counting correctly, so I have to count from the beginning.It even took him half an hour to open the door once.Washing has a set of complicated rituals, such as when to drink water to rinse your mouth, how many times to rinse, how much toothpaste to squeeze out, how to place it after squeezing, how many times to brush your teeth, and turn on the faucet three times.If he is not sure about any link in the whole process, he has to do it all over again.

OCD can make you question both your memories and your perceptions.In every step of the ritual, he may doubt whether he did it right before, and whether he counted it wrong.Check again and again whether the induction cooker is turned off and whether the plug is unplugged.Over and over again, he confirmed that he put cat food in the steamed bread, and that the doors and windows were closed.He didn't dare to enter the elevator, fearing that the elevator would suddenly fall, and even called the property to ask when the last elevator inspection was; on the way, he always suspected that someone was following him, so in the end he didn't go out at all, even Lynch made an appointment for him. I dare not go to the psychiatrist.

Lynch had no choice but to invite the doctor to his home.

The psychiatrist named Wei Tongya was also a friend, and he had treated many people in the Presbyterian Church, including Lynch himself.She has treated patients parasitized by flying polyps, so she also has a certain understanding of the state of Sanity reduction.After giving Chu Yang CBT treatment for several days in a row and prescribing some medicines, he told Lynch to stay with him for the past two days.After all, the various symptoms caused by the use of stigmata are still different from the general real anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder patients. As long as you survive this month and wait for Sanity to recover, many symptoms will disappear on their own.At the same time, she also suggested that the two of them should take a vacation and find a quiet, less crowded but safe place to recuperate for a few days, which would be helpful to both of them.

Lynch considered for a few days whether to travel to a small town in Europe, go on vacation to a tropical country such as Jamaica or Cancun, Mexico, or go to his vacation cabin in Yosemite, California to recuperate.After Chu Yang's symptoms improved a little, he discussed it with Chu Yang.

Chu Yang was reluctant to travel far at first, and he seemed to suddenly have a higher than usual anxiety and fear about flying.But as the medication took effect and his anxiety and OCD symptoms began to subside, he finally agreed.It's just that he still has a lot of resistance to crowded places, so Lynch finally decided to live in Yosemite for about two weeks.

Before leaving, it was just in time for Chen Yi to be discharged from the hospital.The effect of chemotherapy is good recently, she is in good spirits, wearing a cute pink wig on her head, she looks like a two-dimensional beautiful girl.In order to celebrate her discharge from the hospital, and to make up for the excitement of Christmas and New Year's Day, Chu Yang started to work early in the morning. Lynch was responsible for going out to buy vegetables and help, and prepared a sumptuous celebration meal.Chen Yi, Zhu Heze, Su Yu and Bai Dian all came, and they all looked like refugees who hadn't eaten for hundreds of years.Just as Lynch opened a bottle of red wine, the door rang again.Everyone was guessing who else would come, but Lynch smiled mysteriously and reached out to open the door.

I saw Zhao Censhang walking in briskly, wearing a long black coat and holding two bouquets of roses in his hands.Chen Yi and Zhu Heze still had roast chicken stuffed in their mouths, they opened their mouths slightly, their eyes stared as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, watching Zhao Censhang walk up to them, coolly took off his sunglasses, and slightly raised his eyebrows. The corner of his mouth smiled faintly at the two girls, "Happy discharge."

Immediately afterwards, the screams of the two girls resounded throughout the apartment building.

Bai Dian covered his ears and stared at Lynch, "Would it be okay for everyone to be given a pair of earplugs before doing something like this next time?"

Lin Qi and Chu Yang laughed together. Su Yu, a sophomore in middle school, rolled his eyes pretending to be cool, but secretly prepared a pen and paper and planned to sign it later...

That night was probably the happiest night for Chu Yang in the past two or three years.All the symptoms seemed to disappear, and he smiled wantonly, like a teenager, as if a long time ago, when nothing sad happened.

Lynch looked at him like that, and also showed a faint, peaceful smile, like the ethereal and ancient smoke overflowing from the decayed agarwood.

The next day, they set off to fly to California, rented an off-road jeep, entered Wawona Road from the highway, and gradually drove into the depths of the forest.The roads are narrower and narrower, and there are fewer and fewer vehicles.The closer we got to the Yosemite Valley, the warm air in California gradually condensed, and traces of snow began to appear in the coniferous forests beside the road.They passed the small town in the river valley frequented by tourists, but they did not stop. Instead, they turned to a narrower and remote road. Gradually, there was no asphalt road, and only the dirt road covered with snow was left. If it was not off-road It was impossible for the car to go down.

The majestic and steep cliffs on both sides step on the luxuriant forest, and the top is covered with white snow. Occasionally, a waterfall with a dark blue light can be seen frozen into a glacier hanging between the cliffs, scattering a faint rainbow light in the sunlight.

In the valley, all sounds seem to be diluted by something empty and distant, the sky becomes so high, and all the filth and troubles that weigh on the body are also taken away by the clean wind.

Lynch's log cabin stands on the shore of a lake that has not yet frozen, and a blanket of snow is piled up beside the lake.Surrounded by two high cliffs, a waterfall still flowing majesticly falls from the cliff on the left and splashes into a pool that has not yet frozen.The dark green fir and oak woods are accentuated by the snow.It seemed that the wooden house had not been taken care of for a long time, standing alone in the embrace of the magnificent nature looked a bit lonely, and even took a lot of effort to unlock it.There is only a thin layer of dust in the room, and the facilities are complete. There is even a sufficient amount of firewood piled up in the small storage room at the back, and I don’t know when it was chopped.Only the firewood on the ground floor was damp, but the firewood above was still usable.

The two spent a day cleaning the wooden house, adding oil to the generator, cleaning the ashes from the fireplace, putting firewood in and burning it, and warming up the whole house.After tossing and tossing, it was completely dark. Chu Yang found the induction cooker, cut up the ingredients they brought from the city, and quickly prepared a spicy hot pot.Lynch was so hot that he breathed heavily, his lips were as red as lipstick, and he fanned his lips while drinking cold water, showing no elegance at all.Seeing him, Chu Yang couldn't help laughing until he choked on the chili oil, and at the end of the meal, both of them were weeping, pained and happy...

After the meal, Lynch consciously cleaned up the dishes, while Chu Yang put on his down jacket, opened the door and sat down on the chair under the porch.

There is only their solitary lamp on the peaceful valley road, and the mountains silently guard this small forest valley and ice lake like giants.The hooting of owls and the cry of wild wolves can be heard occasionally in the forest, but otherwise, there is boundless silence.

In the sky without light pollution, there are countless stars scattered like diamonds, and a star-intensive light band spans the deep night sky and spreads to the end of the earth.

Suddenly his cheeks felt cold, and when he looked up, he saw Lynch holding a beer bottle in his hand, smiling at him with a playful and handsome smile.Chu Yang also took the beer with a smile.

Lynch sat down on the chair next to him, and deliberately pulled it closer.

"It's so quiet." Chu Yang said in a low voice.

"You were at the Tirosa Hotel before, so you should be very used to this kind of quietness, right?"

"No... that's different. Although the Tirosa Hotel is also in the mountains, there are still guests after all, and you can feel that it was a place that belonged to humans. It's different here... Like, we just walked in accidentally They are the masters." Chu Yang said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something's sleep.His eyes were dim, and his thoughts seemed to have drifted far, far away.

It seems that since accepting the Foul Twins, Chu Yang has shown this kind of ecstatic expression from time to time.

Lynch said with a smile, "As expected of an artistic person, his words are so poetic~"

Chu Yang glanced at him, why does this person always like to spoil the atmosphere...

Lynch also calmed down, opening his deep eyes with a silver starlight reflected in them, "I used to come here alone for a few days when my mind was too messy or too tired. What do you say That's right, it feels like I've turned into a piece of dust, or turned into a piece of snow, and just melted into that icy lake. Nothing to worry about, nothing to plan, the past doesn't exist, the future doesn't exist, Just being simple and timeless...becoming part of something greater. And then it's so light."

"How did you own this house?"

"This was a hunter's house a long time ago. I don't know what happened and the house was abandoned. Later, when the US Park Service auctioned this house, I bought it and rebuilt it once." Lynch paused Said, "That was about 60 years ago. At that time, I came to investigate a small Indian tribe here and saw this house. Although it was half collapsed at that time, I liked the scenery here very much."

60 years ago...Chu Yang's father was not born yet...

Because of Lin Qi's young and handsome appearance and his youthful look, Chu Yang often forgets the fact that Lin Qi is older than his grandfather (if he is still alive)...

"Indian tribe? Are they related to the elders?" Chu Yang asked curiously.

"No, it's just that there were rumors that some tourists saw strange things in Yosemite. They suspected that it was related to the beliefs of some Ahwahnechee (Awanechee) tribes who hated the US government left over here, so they sent me and A few other people came to investigate. It was only later that the photos taken by the tourists were faked, and most of the Awanich people had moved away and merged into other tribes, and most of the remaining ones lived in the small town of River Valley. Stay. So we just came here to see the scenery, and then went back." Lynch said, taking a sip of wine.

There was a moment of silence between the two.

The cool wind blew on Chu Yang's cheeks.He took a deep breath, thought for a long time, and still raised the strength of his whole body, and said casually, "I've always wanted to ask you something... I never had the chance before."

Lynch said lightly, "Huh?"

"Before...in the refuge..." Chu Yang felt that his tongue suddenly became stiff and uncontrollable, "You...you said @#￥ (three vague words) to comfort me..."

Lynch looked confused on purpose, "Huh? What are you talking about?"

Chu Yang's heart beat faster, and the red from the ears to the cheeks was filled with embarrassment and anger, "You know what I'm talking about!"

"I really don't know what you're talking about? We stayed in the shelter all night and talked so much, I can't remember clearly." Lynch looked innocent.

Chu Yang really wanted to punch him...

Just play dumb, okay...

"Let me tell you! After you kissed me, you said you didn't comfort me. Is it true?!" Chu Yang yelled loudly as if venting his anger, and his voice echoed on the quiet lake for a long time...

If it was true, why didn't he mention it for so long afterwards?Have you regretted it?Or was that kiss nothing at all?He has been thinking about it for two weeks, and he doesn't want to entangle himself any longer, he must ask clearly.

Lynch was so frightened that he almost dropped the wine bottle on the ground, "Why do you still like to go to extremes so much... Who do you want to scare to death with such a loud voice?"

Chu Yang glared angrily.

Lin Qi knew that if the teasing continued, a certain lamb might really explode, so he put down the wine bottle with a smile, reached out and grabbed Chu Yang's collar, and pulled the dazed Chu Yang over domineeringly, fiercely, Passionately, he kissed him hard on the other's lips.This time the kiss was much more violent than in the refuge. Lin Qi seemed to have suddenly turned into a man-eating beast, biting Chu Yang's lips, prying open his teeth, and penetrating into his mouth like an intruder wantonly Prey on everything.Chu Yang was completely dazed by the kiss, and was forced to retreat steadily. In the end, he was pressed down on the chair by Lin Qi who didn't know when he stood up and kissed him so darkly.

Finally, Lynch let go of the bright red lips that had been ravaged by him, and even pulled out a thin silver thread.Those deep pupils that have been soaked by some kind of strong and frightening desire quietly looked at Chu Yang, like the eyes of a black cheetah staring at food in the forest, which is scary, but also exciting and inexplicable .

Lin Qi stretched out his hand, brushed Chu Yang's brows and cheeks with his gloved fingers, and said in a hoarse and sexy voice, "I was afraid that you would be frightened, so I endured it all the time. I didn't expect to be you misunderstood?"

Chu Yang opened his eyes that could not analyze the information, and he became more and more like a lamb shivering in front of the big bad wolf. His mouth was slightly opened, as if he couldn't react to Lynch's sudden change.

Lynch smiled lowly, bent down, raised his chin with his fingers, and whispered into his ear, "Tell me which one do you like? Gentle or rough? Considerate or domineering? Robber or Prince? I can fulfill any of your fantasies..."

Chu Yang only felt that the blood in his whole body rushed to his head...and a certain part.He was tongue-tied and unprepared, and finally pushed Lynch away in fright, rushed back to his bedroom, closed the door with a bang, and leaned against the wall to pant...

What... what's the situation? !

Why is it different from what he imagined? !

He slid slowly along the door and sat on the ground, almost wanting to take another pill to stabilize his mood...

What he actually wanted to ask was about the relationship between them... He wanted to know how Lynch thought of him... He never expected Lynch to hint at another relationship that might be related but could also be completely different...

For many people, especially those in their circle, love and lust are completely separate things.But Chu Yang knew that it was always difficult for him to separate these two things.He's not the dashing cool type, he's the somewhat "old-fashioned" type who takes everything too easily and seriously.

So for so many years, he has not been able to find a boyfriend who can really give him the kind of love he needs, which can even be said to be a little conservative.

Lynch's attitude made him even more confused.Is this a rejection in disguise?Or... just simply thought that he mentioned that kiss to go further...

The mind was even more disturbed, and Chu Yang wanted to roar.

But instead of yelling, he held his breath instead.He heard Lynch's footsteps passing by, but the footsteps did not stop, but went straight back to his own room.

A deep sense of loss swept over.

Chu Yang stood up in a daze, went to take a shower, and then looked at herself in the mirror.

He doesn't look ugly, he can even be said to be upright and handsome. Although he doesn't have exaggerated muscles, he looks like the muscle lines that people who exercise regularly will have.It's just that recently due to irregular life, poor mental state and not being able to go to the gym a few times, I lost a lot of weight, but it should still be considered an attractive body, right?

He felt like grass was growing in his heart, and grass was growing in his head.

Maybe he shouldn't ask so much... After all, how many people are willing to patiently accompany him when he becomes that crazy?He could say with certainty that none of the two short-lived boyfriends he had tried in the past could do.

Even Song Liangshu might not be able to do it...

And Lin Qi... not only saved himself so many times, not only helped Chen Yi, but now he kissed him again...

Even if it's just to meet each other's physical needs, what's the relationship?Maybe that's better, maybe that way he doesn't have to worry about losing... If he is always so afraid, always looking forward and backward, he will only be alone in the end.

He doesn't want to be alone anymore.After experiencing that warm feeling, I don't want to be alone anymore.

Chu Yang wrapped her nightgown, took a deep breath, and opened the door.

His bare feet barely made any sound when they landed on the ground. He walked to the door of Lynch's room, hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and knocked on the door.

Almost immediately, the door swung open.Lynch was also wearing a loose nightgown, revealing a large area of ​​white skin on his chest.He leaned slightly against the door frame, with drops of water still dripping from his hair, and he exuded a lazy and gorgeous allure.With a faint and meaningful smile, he leaned against the door frame and looked at Chu Yang without making a sound.

Chu Yang stumbled, "I...I want to..."

Before he finished speaking, Lynch suddenly stared at him tenderly and said, "Are you sure? There is no need to rush. After all, we have plenty of time."

Chu Yang pursed her lips tightly, but nodded firmly, "I've made up my mind."

As soon as he finished speaking, he exclaimed, and was dragged into the room by Lynch, almost thrown on the bed.Chu Yang felt dizzy, and in the dim and ambiguous light, he saw Lynch leaning over him, licking his lips viciously.

"You didn't choose just now, my little Yang." Lin Qi still wore gloves, and gently brushed away the hair in front of Chu Yang, "If you don't choose, I will follow my temper?"
