Chapter 42: Jealousy
Of course, Dmitry also smelled the sandalwood smell of Nahi's body, soft and peaceful, and gloomy and distant.
It smelled good, but it was not the usual sweet fragrance of Nahi, but like a boy's perfume, which instantly alerted Dmitry.
What kind of intimate and long-term contact will have this degree of overlapping breath. The hand on the steering wheel was tight and tight, but he didn't dare to ask her, for fear that it would be a piercing answer that would bring an irreversible result.
Nahi is usually a person who doesn't talk much, but she is especially silent today, her delicate brows are frowning slightly, she turns her head to look out the window, her eyes are not focused on any place, and she is infinitely empty, as if she is worried about something.
Or for whom ...
Not daring to ask, not daring to think about it, Dmitry could only use the same silence to test and wait for Nehi to come back to his senses.
However, he only waited until Nahi got out of the car in a trance, said goodbye absentmindedly, and entered the door without any nostalgia.
Dmitry could clearly feel his journey from disbelief to despair to madness.
The heart sank, thinking that it was at the bottom, but it continued to sink, unable to struggle in the endless abyss, falling deeper and deeper. The hand holding the steering wheel began to tremble, and no matter how much he grabbed it, he couldn't catch the shallow circle. There is a kind of suffocating pressure stacking in the chest and lungs, and there is a panic of not being able to breathe, even though I don't need to breathe.
If Nahi falls in love with someone else... No! Don't think so!
But if Nahi... No, there are no ifs!
But what if...
No!!!
The angry blow hit the steering wheel, and the steering wheel, which was already crumbling, shattered instantly, "Wow... Rumble! The screeching of brakes was followed by a deafening crash.
With a kick open and the deformed car door, Dmitry staggered out of the car and stumbled into the forest.
Car accident? What is the car accident, the word "if" is already the most accurate and vicious bullet, and it has been swept through his chest over and over again.
If you don't have it, you won't ask for it. But he was so close, so close that he embraced his own salvation.
It turned out that her smile and her kiss did not fill the black hole in his heart, but only ate it wider and deeper, and even polished the greedy sharp teeth, wanting to gnaw more sweetness.
The sound of the "Ding Dong" message sounded, and Dmitry was in a trance, suddenly realizing that this was Nehi's exclusive ringtone, and hurriedly rummaged through his mobile phone. The screen had been shattered in the car accident, but through the white broken lines, he saw a sentence that became the antidote:
Do you prefer silver or gold?
Raising his hand to cover his eyes, the hope of excitement in his heart struggled out of the darkness, broke out of the bud from a small corner, rose higher and higher, and instantly grew into a towering tree, bearing hundreds of millions of beams of light and heat, piercing the heavy black and bitter.
I don't like silver, I don't like gold, I just like you!
He knocked on the screen hard, but the words he typed were soft and sweet, and for the first time, he found that such a vulgar routine could express his mood so perfectly.
Nahi was almost burned by his message, and the inspiration that he had finally thought of was forgotten.
What were you going to do? Chromatically! Looking through some videos, she found that coloring might solve the problem of wood decoration not being three-dimensional enough.
The use of water-based pigments with light saturation and repeated coloring can highlight the contrast between light and dark, and even camouflage the effect of hollowing and levitation, which is also visually richer.
For example, lily of the valley, of course, it should be painted clear white, but the branches and leaves should not be green, abrupt and not easy to match, or imitation metal jewelry gold and silver two colors are better. Forget it, don't ask straight men, draw it out and see it first.
Nahi took the pen and drew it carefully until he fell asleep, and he was still sketching in his dreams.
After a night of dreaming, Nahi woke up the next day and didn't wake up very well, only to find out that something was wrong when she got in the car.
"Did you change cars?"
"Well, yesterday I accidentally broke the steering wheel to hide from a puppy that suddenly appeared, so..." Dmitry looked as usual, and was a little embarrassed to mention yesterday's embarrassment.
Nahi nodded knowingly. It can't be helped, the vampire's hands are too strong, and the Cullen family car has been scrapped many times, but fortunately they have money, otherwise they really can't afford to toss.
Last night, I thought of a solution and ordered a few of my favorite paints, and Naxi was in a good mood and was smiling all the way.
Stretching out his hand to twist the radio, the melody flows briskly in the fresh morning air like spring water.
The little girl shook her head gently to the music, humming a tune from time to time, her apricot eyes with thick eyelashes curved in a pleasant arc, and her thin white fingers beating on her legs.
Dmitry stared at his face from the rearview mirror, and suddenly had an impulse to keep going on like this, and keep going, endlessly, forever.
This gaze is too presence, but Nashi is used to it, and even curls the corners of her mouth and responds with a smile.
The light melody continues, and the male voice on the radio sings:
But she fell in love with an English man
With a heartbeat, Naki looked away as if nothing happened, but her ears slowly turned red.
The paint will have to wait a few days to arrive, and the wood needs to be air-dried before painting, so I can't rush it.
There were no classes in the afternoon, so Nahi put the lily of the valley brooch aside and began to carve something else.
He lost track of time until he saw Andrew's name flashing on his buzzing phone, and Nahi realized that it was club time. Hurriedly packed up his things, carefully put a few discs in the shape of cufflinks into boxes, put large and small tools into bags, and cleaned up the table full of sawdust, before hurrying to the dance practice room.
"It's not your style to be late." It was already the first break time for practice, Andrew looked at Nahi who rushed in with a teasing smile, pretending to reach out inadvertently to smooth her messy hair, and his voice was low and ambiguous: "There's no need to be in such a hurry." ”
Nahi ducked back, reached out to pick her hair, and pretended to explain casually: "I'm sorry, senior, I forgot the time to make a gift for my boyfriend, and I won't be next time." ”
Andrew's smile froze, like being slapped in the face, and the anger and sourness in his heart surged, like a soda that had been shaken for a long time, and the bottle cap was suddenly opened, and it instantly splattered out of control.
"yes, I hope it's not an example." He said stiffly, his tone had cooled, the smile in his eyes had faded, and layers of ridicule and warning had been added.
What kind of person, knowing that she has a boyfriend and still coming to entangle, she reminded her euphemistically and put on a face. Natsuki was also angry in her heart, and when she danced again, she felt a little more like she was competing.
The content and choreography of the song are already ambiguous, and with a little bit of strength, there are three more points of fiery intensity. Andrew's blood surged, and his anger slowly dissipated.
He was impulsive just now, and as soon as he heard her words, he couldn't control himself when he thought that she belonged to someone else now. Pride and admiration are fiercely fighting, but in the end, always longing for her heart to be slightly better and occupy the high ground.
Look at the girl dancing like an elf in front of you, will you die? Will you give up?
No, of course not! Then don't do anything like that to push her away!
Unable to help but curse himself a few words in his heart, Andrew remembered a more important plan.
When it was time to rest, he was full of apologies: "I'm sorry, just now... I'll admit I'm a little jealous, please, who wouldn't be jealous of your boyfriend-" The word he pronounced with difficulty, and there was a voice in his heart desperately denying it, but on the surface he tried to maintain his demeanor and humor: "I can't make an example?" ”
He teased him so frankly, but Naxi was embarrassed, smiled and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't take it to heart, and turned to drink water.
Unexpectedly, Andrew also followed: "Hey, Naihi, I actually notified the members just now, but you're not here, let's rehearse two pieces at the prom." ”
"Huh? Is it? Nahi thought the choreography needed to be kept secret, and was a little surprised to hear that there was going to be a rehearsal.
"Well, the student council wants us to perform early, after all, many graduates don't stay in Seattle to study, and people in Seattle don't necessarily have the opportunity to go to the festival."
This, it's true, Nahi nodded: "Okay, what do you need me to do?" ”
"There's nothing special to prepare, it's just that time is tight, and the practice needs to be accelerated. And-" Andrew's eyes were dark, "you need to wear a dress to enter the prom, and there is a group photo or something, you should be fine, right?" "It's just that you have to be with your dance partner...
He swallowed the last sentence, not daring to risk it yet, otherwise his intentions would be too obvious.
Naxi didn't think much about it, since the members of the club were all going, naturally there was no problem, so she readily agreed and put into a new round of practice.
Neither of them saw that in the corner outside the window of the practice room, a man's eyes changed from crazy to desolate because of his conversation and dancing, and his heart seemed to be gushing out of a thick black mist, swallowing all his brilliance in the blink of an eye, merging with the shadow in front of him.
Dmitry was dealing with vehicle insurance today, and the sparse front of the car and the suspicious gaze of the insurance company's staff did not affect his mood.
The relaxed atmosphere of the morning made him relax for a while, and even gave birth to the joy of the quiet years, thinking that yesterday was just an illusion, and that he was sensitive for a while.
But what did he just hear? Nahi even agreed to someone else at the prom!
What is he seeing now? Nahi is dancing so close to someone else!
Eyebrows, fingertips, waist, neck... is full of intimacy, which is a bewitching style he has never seen.
The plain platinum-gold eyes overflowed with scarlet, and the fierce trapped beast howled and ran away in its chest. There seemed to be a sharp whistling in his ears, shaking the eardrum out of the heart-beating humming pain.
He also knew that he was ridiculous and pathetic at the moment, but what to do?
Maybe for other vampires, the singer is just obsessed, but Nahi is different. Nahi is his heartache day and night, his dream year after year, the sobriety and demonic madness that has taken seven centuries to rub into the bones and blood, strip away Naihi, this body, with the soul, what else is left?
