Chapter 11: Escape
"But Yuan Yuan said, if you don't pull the hook, you adults will not talk much, and you will become ugly in the next life, I don't want my uncle to become ugly. Si Xiaojun's mouth was furled, full of grievances.
"I won't..." Si Qi's words were just halfway through when Shi Jing had already stretched out his hand, gently hooked Si Xiaojun's little finger, and slowly pulled it.
"Pull the hook and hang it, and it will not change for a hundred years. Si Xiaojun hurriedly seized the opportunity, and he was still thinking about it, lest the opportunity be fleeting.
Shi Jing looked at his sparkling eyes, and his heart suddenly softened for a moment, and he took the initiative to say to Si Qi for the first time: "He... It was lovely. ”
Si Qi was stunned, laughed dryly twice, and continued to serve him soup diligently.
Si Xiaojun didn't know what he thought, and looked at Shi Jing with a smile: "Uncle, grandma will be very happy to see you, grandma has been urging mommy to find me a father." ”
Shi Jing: "...... Oh...!"
Si Qi: "......"
This is really a "pro" son!
"Zhou... On Friday I... I'll come early... What do you need to text to... Give it to me..."Shi Jing avoided Si Xiaojun's excited little eyes, glanced at Si Qi quickly, his eyes began to fluctuate again, his face gradually turned pale, a green tendon was faintly exposed on his neck, the fingers holding the chopsticks twisted the chopsticks, and the ordinary sentence made him stammer, as if he had mustered up great courage to speak, and every word trembled imperceptibly.
Is it true that social phobia is like this, so afraid of communicating with people?
Or did the arrival of her mother cause him too much pressure?
Si Qi felt a faint palpitation in her curiosity, as if someone was gently tugging at her heart, but this feeling was fleeting and did not leave too many waves, even if she wanted to have a good relationship with him and maintain long-term cooperation, but there should be a degree between each other, or a boundary, she did not intend to cross the line, in the adult world, it is best for everyone to abide by the rules of the game.
"Don't bother, there is a vegetable market in our community, I will prepare the vegetables in advance, you can just come over when the time comes." She buried her head in two sips of soup and said to herself: "After eating in the evening, you can retire successfully, this is the first time we meet, you don't have to accompany my mother all the time, just leave the rest to me." ”
Shi Jing was silent for a while, and then nodded again, but his face was still ugly, and the paleness on his face made people feel very sad when they looked at it, and they couldn't wait to quickly make a utopia and put him in safely.
Si Qi drank the soup spoonful by spoonful, and suddenly felt that she was quite a virgin, not only anxious all the time, but also considerate, she was simply the best nanny-style girlfriend, although it was a fake.
This meal was not comfortable, but it was a complete meal.
After the meal, Si Xiaojun carried a small stool to the balcony to do his homework, Si Qi threw down a sentence and read it casually, so he went to the kitchen to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, resolutely not allowing himself to bring a trace of unhappiness to Shi Jing.
Shi Jing drank two Gu teas on the sofa alone, and then forced himself to get up and turn around in a familiar environment, the bedroom door was wide open, the room was furnished warm and simple, the bookshelves were also full of books of different colors, there was a laptop on the desk, and a rabbit doll, and the bathroom was also very clean and neat, in fact, there was nothing special worth paying attention to in the whole room.
In less than a minute, he had to continue to sit on the sofa, he had no experience in going to other people's homes as a guest, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to go to the kitchen to talk to Si Qi, the whole person was like a Martian visitor who broke into the territory of a stranger, his whole body was at a loss and hesitating, the heart in his chest was always in a state of intense beating, and his body was as if he was not sitting on the sofa, but on the roof of the world.
On the opposite wall is a wall-mounted TV, and his straight figure is reflected in the black screen, through which his pale face can be clearly seen, like a vampire in a supernatural novel who can only live in darkness and fear the sun.
Outside the window, the glow is shining, projected on the ground through the curtains, illuminating the whole house, the air conditioner hums and makes the sound of work, neutralizing the scorching temperature, here and his villa are like two worlds, the light here is too bright, as if to make those dark, haze, countless unknown, unspeakable secrets have nowhere to hide, which makes him gradually sit still, the soft sofa seems to give birth to countless spikes, each spike is shouting.
The hidden pain, anxiety, and fear that he had always forcibly suppressed in the deepest part of his heart finally found an opportunity, and began to boil and rebel, wanting to break through the fragile thin wall outside the heart, and penetrate the limbs along the blood, cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead, and he almost wanted to rush over immediately to completely close the curtains, blocking all the light that was enough to penetrate the human soul, only the darkness could make him feel safe enough.
However, not everyone can get used to the darkness.
However, this is not his villa.
He had to come out of the darkness on his own.
He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes slightly, clenched his hands into fists, and desperately suppressed it with all his strength, but the stinging pain that seemed to come from fear kept challenging his bottom line.
"Tea?" Si Qi's voice came suddenly.
Shi Jing suddenly opened his eyes and saw Si Qi standing far away at the door of the kitchen, holding a delicate small teapot, staring at him, although his eyes were as calm as ever, he seemed to see horror and fear in those calm eyes, just like an ordinary person looking at a mentally ill person who was sick.
He suddenly breathed sluggishly, a chill rose from the soles of his feet, the blood in his body was cold from head to foot, almost embarrassed to the point of being irreparable, and after a moment, he suddenly jumped up from the sofa, lowered his head, and hurriedly threw down a sentence: I still have something to do, go first, and then immediately pull out his legs and run away, almost not daring to look at Si Qi.
Si Qi lived in an old-fashioned house, and the door lock was relatively old, and he didn't open it with his trembling hand, which made him even more anxious and frightened, but the more anxious he was, the door lock seemed to be against him, the more stubborn he was, and he couldn't open it to block his escape.
Some molecules in the blood rushed to his head, and the beast in the depths of his heart stretched out its claws at him unscrupulously, because he was too hard, and the sweet smell of blood filled his lips and teeth, this smell made him boil more and more, and he desperately suppressed that terrifying impulse, and wanted to find a dark place to hide at once, so that no one in this world could find him.
"There's something wrong with this lock, I'll open it for you!" Si Qi's voice didn't sound unusual, I saw her white hand reach over and gently flick the door lock, only to see a "click" and the door popped open.
Shi Jing immediately pushed the door out, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him.
"You stay safe on the road, and send me a text when you arrive. Si Qi said politely, and then closed the door casually.
"Mommy, is my uncle gone?" When Si Xiaojun looked up, he just saw Shi Jing's back in a hurry.
Si Qi took a deep breath and frowned slightly, she naturally saw Shi Jing's strange appearance, but it was clear that she was fine when she ate, she didn't go over to wash the dishes, what happened?
She turned her head to look at her little nest, except that it was a little smaller, and there was nothing strange about it! When her eyes turned around in every position, she finally landed on the window, it was now more than six o'clock, the sun was setting, and the bright light just shone on her small nest, and the whole room seemed to be exposed to the sun, and here and Shi Jing's villa were like two worlds.
A dark, a light, a completely opposite being.
She vaguely understood why Jing Hui was impatient to leave.
Although this is the truth, the appearance of Shi Jing's departure is too weird, she hesitated for a long time, but still called Mo Wenqing, suggesting that she reminded Mo Wenlan to pay attention to whether Shi Jing arrived home safely.
And Shi Jing, who avoided Siqi like a snake and scorpion beast, rushed down the sixth floor in one breath along the safe passage, the voice-activated light in the stairwell turned on and out with the sound of his footsteps, and the dim light followed his footsteps like a shadow, making him unavoidable, unable to escape, no matter how he escaped, he couldn't find a dark place for him to hide, everything in front of him was like sharp thorns that pierced his skin without hesitation, and invaded his limbs and hundreds of bones along the blood.
The pain is unspeakable.
Until at the corner of the sixth floor, the panicked footsteps were mixed by the horizontal wooden stick, the whole person suddenly rushed forward, slammed into the wall, the sudden sharp pain was like a good medicine and finally made his whole body boiling fear and anxiety subsided, he put his head against the wall, gritted his teeth, locked the heavy breath in his throat, and clasped the wall with both hands, until the fingertips turned white, and the nails were unbearable and revealed blood, and then the few traces of blood slowly turned bright red.
It took a full five minutes before he let out a long breath, and the whole person fell to the ground as if he had collapsed, and with trembling hands, he took out a small white medicine bottle from his trouser pocket, swallowed four pills in one go, and then used all his strength to turn himself over, and sat on the ground against the wall, the cold sweat on his forehead kept cutting down his cheeks like spring rain, soaking his collar, and his hands and feet trembled like twitches and could hardly stop.
He stared at the stairwell up and down, not daring to breathe, for fear that he would miss any sound, maybe this point was the time to eat, or maybe everyone was used to taking the elevator, in short, the upstairs and downstairs residents did not break into his dark world at this time, except for the large world outside the building, it was still noisy and lively, but the stairwell for him to absorb life was very quiet.
After a while, the whiteness of his face gradually turned pale, his trembling hands covered his face, and the breath that had always hung in his throat was slowly spit out, and in just a few minutes, his whole person seemed to be broken from body to soul, and then spliced back little by little, he looked down at his bloody fingers, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a mocking smile, I don't know if he was mocking himself, or mocking those shocking blood.
"Didi..." the phone in the pocket rang suddenly.
After being silent for a long time, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, it was Si Qi's text message, "My mother likes flowers more, or you buy her a bouquet of carnations when you come over, she may arrive at four o'clock in the afternoon, you can come half an hour in advance if it is convenient for you, I didn't have classes that afternoon, and I can leave early at noon." ”
Shi Jing'an looked at the phone quietly, his fingers subconsciously rubbed the screen, he thought of the mille-feuille he had just eaten, the beef brisket soup he had drunk, he hadn't eaten so much food at one time for a long time, those foods seemed to have life in his stomach muttering bubbles, but he didn't lift the rod and wanted to abandon him, he sat in the dark for a long time, and then gently replied with a "good" word.
