Chapter Twenty-Three: The Smell of Rust Burning into the Soul

Still on such a rainy night, the room on the top floor of a high-rise building in the center of the city has a curtain of heated water flowing on the floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall. The water curtain smelled of lilacs, and the rain outside the window reflected the two white bodies that were fiercely intertwined in the room. It makes this agitated excitement seem even more distorted and obsessive.

The lighting in the house is cool white and soft. A faint blue halo reflected by the water curtain. The vinyl record on the turntable was slowly turning, and Beethoven's "Symphony of Destiny" sounded a little weird after the special deceleration of the turntable. The muffled roars of men, the high-pitched moans of women, and the fierce rushing sounds made everything in the room seem even more languishing and crazy.

After a long time, the two bodies on the orange bed became still. All the intertwining turned into trembling stretches, like struck sculptures, scattered to the ground after a moment.

The turntable has stopped turning.

The woman curled up in front of the man's broad chest and sniffed softly: "I am so obsessed with the smell of you, like grass on a summer afternoon. faint but never lingering. ”

The man kissed the woman's forehead with his warm lips.

"I also like your taste, lilacs after the rain. I'm familiar with the taste, and it's a taste that I'm obsessed with to this day. The smell has rusted into my marrow, my soul--- your smell, only your smell drives me crazy, and only your smell can calm me. ”

The woman squirmed.

"I know. I prefer the taste of the present, the flavor that is intertwined. You're still so uninteresting, I don't like the word "rust" you use, it seems to be rotten. ”

"I like it. That's not rotting, it's long-lasting. ”

"yes? It's been a long time. From childhood to now, life has been really long. ”

"It's not long enough. Time can corrupt everything, but the soul? I just know that my soul will bind you at any time. Your taste is the traction of my soul. ”

"Don't be so heavy. You're still the same crazy as before when it rains. ”

"You like it. ”

"Yes, I like it. ”

The man picked up the woman and walked towards the gurgling water curtain.

"I can be crazier, my love. ”

The next morning, Luo woke up early and tried to sneak away. A conversation with his mother yesterday made Luo wake up and feel that it was not safe to stay at home, but he couldn't run away after repeating a lot of excuses.

His mother directly re-established the rules for him: "Don't make excuses, we won't affect your little enthusiasm." But from now on, you have to go home for one night every Saturday, and then dare to break your leg like a hornet's son. ”

The son of the hornet --- not love home. Luo woke up and knew the afterword. Mother is often talking about it now, and it is almost a quotation.

Luo woke up and opened the door of his room, and a smell of tea mixed with the aroma of malt roasting wafted in the air. It's over, but I'm still up late. Sure enough, the door to my father's study was open. The old man was drinking tea while looking at a pair of calligraphy, shaking his head with relish.

Mother sat at the table drinking milk. There were also two slices of toasted bread on the table, with a poached egg and a few slices of cheese in between. Seeing that Luo woke up, his mother nodded at the breakfast on the table.

"It's not a little bit of time, eat and then leave. Ignore your dad. The mother's words became concise and to the point, and she continued to look through the magazine in her hand.

Luo woke up three times and made two bites, stuffed his mother's love sandwich into his mouth, and smiled at his mother. Glancing at the magazine in his mother's hand, Luo woke up and almost choked himself. The magazines my mother read were similar to pictorials, and they were basically pictures. The images show strollers and cribs.

This place is not to stay for long!

Everything is new in the morning after the rain. Luo woke up and lowered his head and came to the parking lot, there was someone in the car! A young girl was sitting cross-legged on the lid of Lu Xun's machine, soaking wet. It seems that it has been waiting for a long time, and only a stubborn pigtail is still standing proudly.

The girl's big watery eyes stared at Luo Xing, and a little grievance and joy flashed in her eyes.

"Why don't you go home?" Luo asked a little stupidly when he woke up.

The girl who used to be a big girl is now a big girl, and it has really changed a lot in the past year or so. Jumping off the car with a pigtail, Luo woke up and subconsciously went up to help. The car is very high.

"Why didn't you call me when you came back?"

"How did you know I was back?

Jiao Bujiao shrugged her small and round nose: "What's so difficult about this? When you are not at home, your godmother's house rarely cooks on fire, and you always go to the canteen to buy ready-made work." I didn't wait for my godmother in the cafeteria last night, so I naturally expected your precious son to come home. ”

"Then why don't you go up? Wait a long time, right? Seeing that you're wet, you're going to catch a cold. Luo woke up and quickly took off his sportswear and draped it on Jiao Bujiao's body and wrapped it. There is some natural distress in my heart.

"I didn't have to wait long, no matter how anxious I was to see you, I had to leave time for my godmother and godfather to reprimand you. Anyway, if I catch you, you won't be able to escape. ”

Saying that, Jiao Bujiao snuggled into Luo Xing's arms, like a long-accustomed nature. Luo woke up and tightened the girl in his arms, which was just as natural.

When did you recognize your godfather and godmother? Didn't you hear my mother talk about it yesterday? I started planning to lay the groundwork for calling my parents directly in the future?

The girl had grown a lot taller, and the top of her head was already at the same level as Luo Xing's gaze. The pigtails are shaking playfully in front of Luo waking up at the moment. Jiao Bujiao also writhed in Luo's waking arms, as if she wanted to break open the wrap of her clothes.

"Don't move, look at the cold on you. Go home and take a hot shower in a while, or you'll catch a cold? Luo woke up and muttered in his heart, "How can this be? So natural? Could it be that in my heart, this little girl has already become a habit?"

"Well, I'll soak it when I go back. I can't smell you without a breath through my nose, and I love what you smell like. As he spoke, his hands finally broke out of the wrapped clothes and wrapped them around Luo Xing's waist hard, and his forehead rubbed back and forth on Luo's awakened chin.

"The smell is familiar to me and I love it. Jiao Bujiao muttered dreamily.

Luo woke up and hugged his arms, which was already plump and delicate, lowered his head slightly, and did not speak. He was also sniffing the fragrance in his arms. Luo woke up at the moment of quiet and peaceful, he was a little intoxicated.

Maybe it was a long time before neither of them spoke again. At this moment, it seems that there is no need for words to express, and they are nervous about this temporary warmth. In the early morning after the rain, two young hearts throbbed together. Naturally.

"Are you in a hurry to leave? Will you come back next weekend? I have a holiday now, can I go to you?" Jiao Bujiao seemed to have come back to her senses, and regained a little girlish coquettishness.

"The unit has confidentiality regulations, and you can't get in. I'll come back every weekend as long as I don't have urgent tasks. Now I'll send you home first. ”

"Okay. Then I'll wait for you to eat with you next weekend. With godparents and godmothers. The girl seemed to feel that something was wrong with what she had just said, and two blushes flew on her fair cheeks.

Luo woke up and just let go of his embrace, and listened to Jiao Bujiao continue: "If you dare to break the contract, I will kill you directly." I don't have a lot of anxiety in Beijing, and there is no door that I can't enter. ”

Got back to his original appearance so quickly? This is the Jiao Bujiao I knew! Luo woke up and subconsciously touched Jiao Bujiao's pigtails, as if to confirm whether the ever-changing elf in front of him was swayed by the pigtails on his head just now.

"Hmph, do you remember?" Seeing that Luo woke up and nodded hurriedly, Jiao Bujiao stomped his little feet domineeringly, turned around and left.

Law woke up and was about to say, "My clothes." I heard a few chuckles behind me. It was a few early risers in the courtyard, looking at him happily. The uncles were also young, and they laughed regretfully when they saw Jiao Bujiao gone.

Where there is no shame in the old, what about the quality?

Luo woke up and fled.
