The Eye of the Storm

After turning off the lights at night, Cao Ye tossed and turned in bed, annoyed by mosquitoes, and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

The body was wrapped in the cool summer quilt, but the mosquitoes buzzed around his ears without stopping for a second.

"Liang Sizhe—" He couldn't sleep, so he called Liang Sizhe in a low voice.

Liang Sizhe heard him tossing and turning on the bed next to him, as if he was frying a steamed bun, and now he finally felt a little drowsy, and when he was about to fall asleep, he heard Cao Ye calling his name like a mosquito .

"Huh?" He closed his eyes and answered in a daze.

"You didn't fall asleep either..." Cao Ye's voice became louder.

"Hmm..." Between half-dream and half-awake, a warm body suddenly squeezed over. Liang Sizhe opened his eyes and saw that Cao Ye came over with his pillow and quilt in his arms.

"What's wrong?" Liang Sizhe asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I can't be disturbed by mosquitoes alone, hehehe..." Cao Ye leaned over with malicious intentions, "Brother Sizhe, you have to feel the power of mosquitoes with me... Go over there, I want sleep with you."

"You sleep with me, you're the one who gets bitten." Liang Sizhe said so, but still moved towards the wall to make room for him.

Cao Ye laid the pillow flat and wrapped his body tightly with a quilt: "I'm covered with a quilt, so I won't bite me, but only quarrel with us...Did you hear that?"

"Well, I heard." Liang Sizhe was not sleepy after being disturbed by him, and the buzzing of mosquitoes really came from his ears, "The effect is immediate."

"Hey hey hey." Cao Ye smiled triumphantly, quite happy.

"Are you satisfied?" Liang Sizhe asked.

"It's okay...you smell like coconuts."

"It smells like shampoo...don't you have it too?"

Cao Ye inserted his fingers into his hair, scratched it, put it under his nose and smelled it: "It seems that maybe your hair is long and you use more shampoo than me."

"Maybe." Liang Sizhe said, reaching out his hand from Xia Liang's quilt, stroked his hair, and then withdrew his hand.

"Hey, you're touching my head again!" Cao Ye lifted his head from the pillow a little.

"Well, I touched it, do you want to fight?" Liang Sizhe chuckled, and simply took out his hand and put it on his hair. It felt really good, much better than Xiaobai.

Cao Ye took his hand away: "If you keep touching my head, I will not grow taller."

"You just need to be this tall."

"No, don't you know that Chi Mingyao is taller than me? I have to grow longer."

"How tall is he?"

"He's already 1.8 meters."

"Oh, like me, how about you?"

"I'm still a centimeter short."

"It's not good to be too tall," Liang Sizhe put his hand on his hair again, rubbed his head twice, and smiled, "I'll help you slow down."

"Get your claws away!" Cao Ye took his hand away again, "If I don't grow taller, it's all up to you."

Liang Sizhe smiled and retracted his hand, and didn't put it on Cao Ye's head again. He closed his eyes after laughing enough, and prepared to continue to sleep.

"Are you going to sleep?" Cao Ye said after a while.

"You haven't slept yet?"

"I can't sleep, I don't feel sleepy...Let's chat, you turn around."

"What are you talking about?" Liang Sizhe opened his eyes again, turned over to face Cao Ye, "Did you go out and have fun these days?"

"It's okay... Mr. Lin Yan took us to his brother's bar. It was so loud that I was almost deaf."

"You don't like to go?"

"It's not interesting, and..." Although there were only the two of them in the room, Cao Ye lowered his voice, "That's gay."

Liang Sizhe suspected that he didn't hear clearly: "... what is it?"

"Let's be gay," Cao Ye said louder. He moved closer to Liang Sizhe and said in a low voice, "I'm secretly telling you that Lin Yan likes men."

His voice was very low, as if he was talking about some hidden secret, he was too close, and the air of his words rushed to Liang Sizhe's face.

Liang Sizhe didn't speak. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. There seemed to be a thin, tightly stretched string on his chest. Cao Ye's mysterious tone gently plucked it, and there was a "clang" sound. softly.Yu Yin shook his body along with his heartbeat, and his chest seemed to be numb for a moment.

What kind of strange feeling was that?Liang Sizhe instinctively didn't dare to delve into it further, he suppressed this strange feeling, turned over and lay flat: "How do you know?"

"Don't turn around... I've seen his boyfriend, who looks like a girl."

"Oh..." Liang Sizhe said, but he still didn't turn around, maintaining a flat lying posture.

"His boyfriend is too miserable."

"Ok?"

"His boyfriend seems to be a signed artist of his brother's company. He just received a movie resource a while ago, and the filming is about to start. Somehow, the two of them were discovered, and his brother messed up the resource in a fit of anger. His boyfriend was also hidden in the snow... Isn't it so miserable?"

"It's miserable...Which one is Lin Yan?"

"Just... call you little beauty."

"Oh, he sounded happy on the phone."

"Yeah, he didn't take it seriously. Dabai told me about it. After I heard it, I didn't want to be friends with him anymore..."

"Didn't you still play with him that day?"

"Oh, yes, that's what I thought... But, he is very nice to me," Cao Ye sighed, and said in a tangled voice, "It's really contradictory... I can't just because of him and his boyfriend Let’s break up with him, it’s too inexplicable.”

"He treats you very well? What a good way?"

"He, I knew him when I was a child. He is three years older than me. He is just like my brother. He buys everything for me. Although he is a bit awkward sometimes, he always lets me... I will also tell you the details. I don't know, but he is really good to me."

"He..." Liang Sizhe paused, then hesitantly asked, "Will he be interested in you?"

"How is it possible?!" Cao Ye's head bounced off the pillow in an instant, "Don't piss me off, I've got goosebumps all over you."

Liang Sizhe: "..."

"Really, feel it," Cao Ye groped to grab his hand and touched his arm, "Have you felt it?"

"Hmm..." Actually, I didn't feel it, I just felt that the fingertips touched the warm flesh, which was a little slippery. Liang Sizhe withdrew his hand and twirled his fingers unconsciously.

"You seem to have touched my mosquito bag, it's so itchy..." Cao Ye lay back on the pillow, scratched his arm with his fingers, and then said, "He is very good to our friends, not just to my friends. I... Besides, he only likes boys who look like girls, so I think he still likes girls."

"Oh……"

"Hey hey, brother Sizhe, what kind of girl do you like?" Cao Ye chatted more and more enthusiastically, and asked Liang Sizhe closer.

"I..." Liang Sizhe paused for a moment, raised a hand, covered his eyes with the back of his hand, and said in the dark night, "How do you know that I like girls?"

"Ah?" Cao Ye sat up completely this time, "You like men too?!"

Even if you can't see the expression on Cao Ye's face, you can still imagine him being shocked, his eyes are wide open, and he looks very bright in the dark, a little confused, but very vivid.

Liang Sizhe sketched his appearance at this moment in his mind, with the back of his hand covering his eyes, and the corner of his mouth slightly curved: "Do you really believe it?"

"Oh, you lied to me..." Cao Ye heaved a sigh of relief, "Scared me, you gave me a shock tonight."

Liang Sizhe smiled: "You also know that you are surprised."

"It's not all because of you!" Cao Ye lay down again: "If you like men, I won't sleep with you."

"Lin Yan likes men, don't you also have a good time with him?"

"We can play together. Anyway, he doesn't like me, but it's a bit strange to sleep together... Besides, Lin Yan likes women, and men who look like women, so I think he likes me. female."

Liang Sizhe let out an "oh".

"Why don't you ask me what kind of girl I like?"

"You say it."

"I like someone like you..." Cao Ye intentionally paused, waiting for Liang Sizhe to overreact like he did just now.

But Liang Sizhe didn't seem to respond.

"A pretty girl." Cao Ye picked up his stupid joke consciously, "Hey, why didn't you react at all?"

"I knew it, old fashioned." Liang Sizhe took his hands away from his eyes and smiled with his eyes closed.

"I think so too." Cao Ye said disappointedly.

"Go to sleep."

"Oh... wait," Cao Ye just closed his eyes, and then said again after a few seconds, "I thought of another possibility that we will meet."

"Ok?"

"According to the original trajectory, you play the violin so well, maybe one day when you go abroad to perform, you will have the opportunity to share the stage with my mother. As for me, I occasionally go to see my mother perform. After the performance, I will go backstage Looking for her, my mother must like you very much, so she will introduce us to each other, and then we chatted and had a good chat, so we became good friends, ding~"

Liang Sizhe smiled, and continued tacitly: "Fate has coincided again."

"Well, I can go to bed now." Cao Ye also closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he whispered, "Buzz buzz buzz buzz, did you hear the mosquitoes?"

"heard it."

"That's good," Cao Ye closed his eyes and smiled, happy that his plan had succeeded, "Good night, Liang Sizhe."

"Good night." After Liang Sizhe finished speaking, he opened his eyes in the darkness.

The room was pitch-black, and the small screen of the air conditioner displayed the adjusted temperature, emitting a bright blue light in the dark.

After Cao Ye said "good night", he fell asleep within a short while. The air conditioner was silently blowing cool air, and there was no electric fan making noise. The sound of the boy's slow breathing was very clear.

On the other hand, Liang Sizhe, who was about to fall asleep before, was restless and not at all sleepy at the moment.

"Lin Yan likes men." Cao Ye's soft voice rang in his ears again, and he seemed to be able to feel the air blowing on his face.

In the depths of the brain, a strange and strong emotion is about to move, it seems that as long as you think about that sentence carefully and remove the layer of cellophane covering it, they will come out in full force.

Liang Sizhe had a strong premonition that once those emotions overflowed, he would be swallowed up quickly, completely, and irresistibly, which almost triggered the early warning mechanism of his emotions, making him dare not continue to think deeply. His fingers clenched unconsciously.

He turned over and lay on his side facing the wall with his back to Cao Ye, forcing himself to ignore this emotion.

Alone, helpless, overwhelmed, doomed... He has tasted all these emotions in the past year, and he has developed the ability to block his emotions and fall into a deep dream. This time is the same, he put all his thoughts Cleared from the brain, leaving only a boundless darkness, forced myself to sleep.
