Chapter 15: A Bedtime Story

Twilight lay on the bed and froze.

Does she know?

Kind of guessed.

But... Why would someone as good as Sheng Yu like her...

She was puzzled.

She pondered it again, as if she had nothing to attract him except for her appearance.

And to be honest, when it comes to appearance, no one is as good-looking as himself.

Probably because she was thinking too much, he didn't say anything now except for being a little special to her.

Wen Du raised her hand and grabbed her hair, her mind was a mess, she simply didn't want to, it was better to take one step at a time.

Turning over and getting ready to sleep, I closed my eyes but his face always appeared in my mind.

Her eyelashes are thick and long, and her eyes smile like stars.

Twilight!

Can't think about it anymore!

The text tone suddenly rang, and she picked up her phone.

Oh my God!

[Sleeping]

Wen Du just glanced at it, and then the second one came over.

[I can't sleep]

Wen Twilight stared at the text message for a few seconds, "Pretend you didn't see it." ”

Then he frowned again: "Why should I feel embarrassed? It's just that I misunderstood, and it has nothing to do with him." ”

Once she figured it out, she clicked on the screen and typed.

[Nope.] ]

[Can't sleep?]

[Sort of.] ]

Twilight stared at his phone for a moment, but he didn't send another message.

She pulled the quilt up, and instantly felt bored.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and she hesitated to click the answer button.

As soon as he was answered, there was a muffled and somewhat magnetic laugh, "I was just looking for headphones." ”

This was the first time the two had a phone call, and Wen Du didn't know what to say, so she asked very straightly, "Why did you call?"

"Isn't it that you can't sleep?" he said slowly, "I'll tell you a bedtime story." ”

"It's not a child. ”

He laughed sullenly again: "Then I want to tell you a story, do you want to listen to it?"

Twilight buried herself in the pillow and placed the earpiece next to her ear.

I didn't think it before, but now I can't see anyone, and I only know by listening to the voice that he speaks so well.

Gentle and moisturizing.

Storytelling, she thought, would sound enjoyable, "Okay then." ”

"What do you want to hear?"

She was silent for a moment: "Tell me about the interesting things you have encountered in the past seven years. ”

"Interesting thing..."

"I'll tell you about my aunt. ”

"Okay. ”

"She settled in France, she was a very good woman, and she was also unmarried, so she would take care of me as her son. ”

"Then why don't you live with her?"

"I'm a nostalgic person for my homeland, and staying in a foreign country makes me feel like I don't belong. ”

In this respect, the two of them are really alike.

Wen Twilight listened attentively, turned on the speakerphone and turned down the voice to the minimum, and listened to him quietly.

"Your parents... When did it not exist?"

In fact, Wen Twilight doesn't like to inquire about other people's privacy, but in this case, she suddenly wants to know how he is doing.

"If it's inconvenient to say it, you can not say it. ”

"It doesn't matter. He chuckled, "I love what you ask me." ”

Not again.

Twilight closed her eyes and raised her hand to cover her forehead, covering the light from her eyes. Only a small lamp at the head of the bed was lit, and it was dim.

"They died in a car accident when I was eleven years old. ”

"Eleven years old, so young..."

"Then my aunt took me away and took care of me, and she knew about my hobby, so she found me a teacher and taught me how to draw. ”

"Later, my teacher wanted to go back to China, and I followed him, when I was 18 years old. ”

"You have been in France for seven years. ”

"Yes. Speaking of this, he paused and muttered, "Twilight, fate is actually very strange sometimes. I spent seven years in France and it took another seven years to meet you again. ”

Obviously two things that are not related, when they come out of his mouth, they are inexplicably ambiguous.

Wen Du didn't know that these two seven years had decided his life for Sheng Yu.

Wen Du never knew how to answer these words, and Sheng Yu didn't mean to let her reply, but continued to round up the topic just now: "My aunt is actually very beautiful, and there are many people who pursue her, but she only falls in love, but she is unwilling to get married. She doesn't like to be tied down, she doesn't like to be tied to another person in her life. ”

"But don't you feel lonely?"

"Yes. Sheng Yu smiled and said, "That's why she calls me every Christmas and asks me to accompany her." ”

Wen Du also smiled: "Then will you go over?"

"After the first year, she scolded me, saying that she was drunk last night, that it was not her who called me, and that I had traveled thousands of miles just to scold her. ”

"Actually, she should be very happy. ”

"Yes...", his voice softened unconsciously: "Auntie has a hard mouth and a soft heart. ”

"She's a great person and had the opportunity to introduce you to each other. ”

Just listening to him say this, Wen Du became curious about this aunt, and unconsciously followed his words: "Okay." ”

Sheng Yu: "Then do you feel sleepy now?"

"No," she was a little shy, and to tell the truth, "it seems to be more energetic." ”

His laughter spilled out of the earpiece again: "Then tell another story this time." ”

"Good. ”

"I'm quieter, you try to go to sleep now. ”

“... Well. Twilight closed her eyes.

"Once upon a time there was a wolf who was dying and met a very cute little rabbit. ”

Her eyelashes moved, and it seemed like it was really a bedtime story.

I just feel inexplicably familiar, probably because at night, my thinking is a little restricted, and I can't think deeply.

"It hadn't eaten anything good for a long time, so it stared at the rabbit every day, but it didn't have the strength to catch it. ”

"The rabbit doesn't know the wolf exists, so it doesn't feel the danger either. ”

"Isn't it that you don't have the strength to eat? Even if you know, you probably won't be afraid. Wen Twilight couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Yes. He snorted and said, "Twilight is so smart. ”

Wen Twilight was confused and didn't talk.

Then the rabbit was gone, and the wolf felt that he had lost hope, and thought that he might as well die like this, and that he could only watch and not eat anyway. ”

Sheng Yu was lying on the bed when he was telling the story, his voice was very low, the corners of his mouth were smiling, and the room was still brightly lit.

But he was not reconciled, and still wanted to eat the rabbit. For this reason, it has a strong desire to survive. ”

He paused for each word, his voice slow, as if to give Twilight time to react, or to put her to sleep.

"Whenever he wants to give up, he thinks of the rabbit, and in the process of trying to survive, he will return to that place from time to time, but he will never see the rabbit again. ”

"He thought..."

His voice grew softer, and he suddenly stopped talking.

Between breaths, a soft "um" came from my ear, a questioning tone.

There was a soft light in his eyes, and he said softly, "If she doesn't show up, he'll go to her." ”
