Chapter 205: Bedtime Story
Back in the guest room, under the warm light, Ji Jinyan lifted the quilt and motioned for Lu Xingchen to lie back on the bed.
The girl was probably tired after making trouble for so long, yawned delicately, and immediately got into the bed.
Ji Jinyan wanted to watch her fall asleep and leave, but someone was really dishonest after getting drunk, even though her whole body was already nested in the quilt, only revealing a small head, she still stretched out her fingers and gently hooked his sleeve, her eyes were pitiful.
Ji Jinyan glanced at her, "What?" ”
Lu Xingchen blinked, "I want to hear bedtime stories." ”
“…… How old are you? Ji Jinyan glanced at her with disgust, her brows furrowed slightly, this stupid guy really plans not to stop for a moment?
He even began to wonder if she was pretending to be drunk to make such a bunch of unreasonable demands.
But the way she looked at him was full of dependence, which was different from the way she usually looked at him.
Usually, she looked at him with only awe and faint alienation in her eyes.
Unlike tonight, there is both admiration and longing, and worship dependence.
Lu Xingchen pouted, as if he was going to carry out the coquettish to the end, "If I don't listen to bedtime stories, I can't sleep." ”
"Oh, then keep your eyes open until dawn." The man with a cold face was not moved at all, "I'll go back to sleep first." ”
With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
It's just that the girl's hand hooking his sleeve tightened a little more, and she stared at him with tears in her eyes, as if to accuse him of indifference and ruthlessness!
Ji Jinyan sighed and glanced at her lightly, "I hope you can remember what you did tonight when you wake up tomorrow?" ”
He saw that this fool was drunk and cowardly, and completely exposed her true nature.
However, he didn't know that girls could be like this before...... Clingy.
"I'm really convinced." Ji Jinyan twisted her eyebrows slightly, pulled over a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed, "What do you want to hear?" ”
When Lu Xingchen heard this, she immediately smiled and bent her eyebrows, and her eyes rolled, "As long as you say it, I love to hear it." ”
She said this directly and unabashedly, which made Ji Jinyan's expression a little unnatural, and he cleared his throat, "Then lie down obediently." ”
"Uh-huh!" Lu Xingchen obediently adjusted his sleeping position.
Ji Jinyan smiled slightly, reached out and tucked the quilt for her, pondered for a few seconds, and then spoke in a slightly calm voice: "Once upon a time, there was a young man who suddenly had a strange illness without warning when he was 11 years old. ”
"Ah, what's the disease?" Lu Xingchen looked at him nervously and asked hurriedly.
Ji Jinyan replied lightly: "His eyes suddenly became blind. ”
Lu Xingchen opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Then what should he do?" Did you go to the doctor? ”
"Hmm." Ji Jinyan nodded, "But at the level of medical care at that time, the doctor couldn't find out the reason for his sudden blindness." ”
"And then?"
Then the boy, who was already silent, became even more silent, and his parents were too busy with work to take care of him, so they sent him to a small fishing village to recuperate.
"How could his parents be like this!" Lu Xingchen pouted dissatisfiedly, "That little boy is so pitiful." ”
Ji Jinyan hooked her lips and said a little sarcastically, "Well, it's pitiful." He paused, glanced at her, and suddenly threatened, "If you want to continue listening, don't interrupt." ”
Lu Xingchen: "...... Oh. ”
In that fishing village, he had no friends, and all he could do every day was to sit quietly under the old banyan tree by the sea and listen to all kinds of sounds.
Until one day, a little girl found him, and by accident, the two became "good friends" in the little girl's mouth.
After that, almost every afternoon, the little girl would run to the old banyan tree by the sea, sometimes to tell the boy the stories she had heard, sometimes to ask the boy some strange questions, and sometimes, she would take out a book and read it to the boy in a young and crisp voice.
But that little girl is just like you, a little fool, and often encounters words that you can't read......"
Ji Jinyan paused as she spoke, and deliberately glanced at Lu Xingchen playfully, seeing that she puffed out her cheeks dissatisfiedly.
He curled the corners of his lips slightly, and continued to say lightly: "But she also has her own little cleverness, whenever she encounters an unfamiliar word, she will take the initiative to trace the word on the palm of the young man's palm, hook and stroke, so that the young man can teach her the pronunciation and use of that word."
After more than a month, the teenager's parents finally found a way to treat his eyes abroad and sent him abroad for treatment. Later, his eyes were restored.
Two months after he regained his sight, he returned to the fishing village to find the girl. It's just that he has never seen the little girl's appearance, and he only remembers her immature voice, so he had to wait for her under the old banyan tree in the most stupid way.
After three days of waiting, the little girl never appeared. And he, because someone in the family wanted to take him back, did not wait any longer. ”
At the end of the story, Ji Jinyan lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the faint light in his eyes, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were indifferent and calm.
The sound of even breathing came slowly, and he stared deeply at the sleeping man on the bed, and his eyes were deep in the depths of his eyes, and a trace of tenderness crossed them.
He leaned down slightly, very lightly and gently, with a gentle look that had never been seen on his handsome face, and dropped a kiss on her forehead, "Good night, my ...... A sucker. ”
