CHAPTER XLII
At two o'clock in the morning, covered with sparse and scattered lights, it was probably the beginning of autumn, and the wind swept through the empty streets, giving birth to a little cold.
Lu Xiubai stood quietly by the window, glancing at the clock on the side, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see clearly.
The huge room was gloomy, and the silence was terrible.
Click.
The key falls into the lock hole with a subtle sound.
Ye Ning opened the door a little tiredly, but it was only pitch black in front of her, just like the thick night that could not be dissolved, which made people feel a little uneasy.
Although she had mentioned to him in advance about today's late return, things were still beyond her expectations, and at this time, he must have already slept.
Suppressing the boredom in her heart that she didn't know where to arise, Ye Ning walked towards the room along the darkness.
There is a slight bitter smell in the silent air, which makes people sober, but it also makes people unable to hide.
"Xiubai?"
There seemed to be a faint dark shadow by the window, quiet, silent, yet so strange.
Her heart sank, and she was inexplicably a little flustered, glancing at the still steaming coffee on the table, sighed, and tried to calm herself.
"Are you waiting for me to come back?"
"I'm sorry for the delay."
She gently tugged at the corner of Lu Xiubai's clothes, but only touched a piece of coldness, as if he had been standing here for a long time, motionless.
"Hmm."
An undeniable answer, faint, without any tone, but it sealed all her retreats like that, leaving no room for it.
Lu Xiubai turned around, but his gaze fell on her bandaged left hand.
Even in the dark, you can still see the bloodstains.
"You won't tell me, Lemon."
His voice was gentle, but it seemed like something had been dug up, and he couldn't mix it with a trace of emotion, so it had to send chills down his spine.
Ye Ning stood in place a little dazed, her outstretched hand was frozen in mid-air, and the atmosphere around her suddenly froze, and the person who was pressed was out of breath.
“……”
She opened her mouth, but her throat was strangely hoarse, and in the moment of force, all words were torn to pieces.
All the emotions, all the explanations, after a turn of heart,
It's so ridiculous and ridiculous.
Lu Xiubai silently looked at the person in front of her, she lowered her head, her eyes were red in circles, and even her lower lip was bitten and bloody.
But he still didn't want to let go of even a word of explanation.
He suddenly had a bit of a strange emotion.
is so fragile and decadent, but is it only because of that person?
The night was getting cooler, and even the steaming coffee on the table was getting cold, but the two of them were just relatively silent.
Minute by minute, with the empty ticking of the clock.
Crash into the abyss.
