It was late at night when I got back to the apartment, and the man sitting on the couch in the darkness looked like a statue.

The thin and translucent moonlight was imprinted on his cheeks, from the smooth forehead to the resolute bridge of the nose to the thin lips that were shiny, each line showed a warmer arc than usual.

"Coming back?" He tilted his head slightly to look at her, his tone light and breezy.

"Hmm—" Star Swirl looked back at him, her misty eyes filled with shimmers.

"Come here." He remained on the couch and did not move.

Star Swirl shifted her steps as she slowly approached the jade-carved man.

He held out a hand and placed it lightly on her shoulder. She was slightly stunned, and her body froze in place.

In the darkness, her face became blurred, except for a pair of eyes, shining brightly, like the purest black gem.

"X—" Star Swirl snapped into the thought of the promise, took his hand, and turned around and gently leaned on his shoulder.

In the face of her actions, the man was a little dazed, a little puzzled, and frowned slightly.

And her breathing was so close, so quiet, so close to her ears. The warmth and warmth gradually calmed down his originally irritable mood.

He turned his head slightly to look at the face on his shoulder, the girl was closing her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a black-winged butterfly in the wind, and a faint fragrance of flowers lingered on her side, soft and graceful.

The hand resting gently on his shoulder, slender as an onion, with delicate knuckles, and his nails shining like a vermilion in the moonlight.

He tilted his head slightly, facing the summer evening breeze, and the two snuggled quietly together.

After a long time, Star Swirl finally looked up with a smile and said as if nothing had happened, "It's too late, I'm going to rest." ”

Looking at the back, the man's heart warmed slightly.

Closing the bedroom door, Star Swirl pressed her spurt to her heart, her barely managed composure shattering, and two blush appeared on her cheeks.

Perhaps "bonding" happens to show that the relationship between the two is not a master and servant, not a friend, not a lover, but a more intimate connection, better than the mountain alliance and sea vows between all men and women in this world.

For the first time, Star Swirl confronts her feelings for Mr. X, not only dependence, but also care, worry, and trouble... All emotions sometimes brewed sweet and sour bubbles in her heart, and sometimes she was distressed, suffering from gains and losses.

However, all this made her immersed in it, and she couldn't extricate herself.

---

Throbbing, Star Swirl seemed to be walking on the clouds, tossing and turning for a moment before falling into a deep sleep.

In her dream, she heard a string of laughter like silver bells. The dark-eyed boy stood opposite, and beside him was a young man with clear eyebrows.

The two looked very similar, with soft eyebrows, bottomless dark eyes, and light brown hair with a satin-like sheen that made people want to reach out and touch them.

"Follow me." The boy smiled and took Star Swirl's hand and ran towards the end of the hallway.

"Hey, where are you taking me?" Star Swirl was dragged forward by him, the light around her so dim that she couldn't tell where she was.

"It's a secret." The boy stopped at a door and stretched out his hand to push it open.

A back inside looked a little familiar, and the man sitting at the desk seemed to be struggling to tap on the keyboard, as if he was about to go crazy.

"This is—" The name that came to his mind was about to burst through his throat when the back in front of him turned.

On his pale face, his eyes were red, and red blood slowly slipped from the corners of his eyes, and the corners of his dark lips pulled out a weird smile: "What you want, it's here." ”

He pointed to the laptop on his desk and said with a smirk, "Unfortunately, I don't want to give it to you." With that, he slammed his face down on the keyboard, and immediately the blood flowed profusely, and the red liquid flowed through every crevice of the keyboard.

"Han Dong Solstice --!!" Star Swirl screams and wakes up from her dream.

The door was pushed open, but the man with a sinking face said in an angry tone: "You call other men's names, and your voice is very loud." ”

"I—" Star Swirl immediately blushed as she remembered that she had just taken the initiative to throw herself into her arms in the dark living room, but at this moment she was calling out someone else's name.

Mr. X sat down beside Star Swirl, took her little hand and asked, "Nightmare?" ”

"Hmm—" she lowered her head slightly, and the dim light imprinted his gentle silhouette on the wall, and she peeked in, and when she saw the slightly curly eyelashes, she couldn't help but beat faster again.

A smile crept up his lips as Mr. X gently stroked Star Swirl's shoulders and coaxed in one of the rare gentleness, "Don't be afraid, I'm here with you." ”

"No—" Before she could finish speaking, an index finger pressed against her lips, with a hint of coolness.

"Shhh

There seemed to be a magic to his words, and Star Swirl slowly relaxed, as if she were back in the soft clouds, comfortable and reassuring.

After that, there was no dream for the night.

The morning sun shines through the curtain, and Star Swirl opens her eyes. The jade cheeks were close at hand, and at this moment, Star Swirl's eyes widened, and she quickly covered her mouth so that she could not scream.

He actually slept next to him all night? For the first time, he looked at the man on the bed with a stupid expression, and in the half-open placket, a touch of white was more lusterly white than jade.

The fragrance of flowers floats outside the window, and I don't know where the smell of mist spreads faintly.

"Awake?" With a slightly hoarse voice more magnetic than ever, her blue eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Star Swirl against the morning light.

"Uhh Why did you sleep in my room? ”

The man on the bed did not answer, his breathing was as calm as ever, and he rolled over lazily like a cat that had not woken up, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Star Swirl couldn't stay any longer, and she climbed out of bed, shoeed on, and walked out of the bedroom.

Covering her pounding heart, she secretly sighed why she was still so easy to blush and shy, obviously she had been alone for a long time, although she was once tired of being together in the form of a cat. However, isn't it all yourself, and what's the difference?

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a slight knock outside the door, "Open the door, I'm Bai Xiaohan." ”

"Teacher Bai, is there an urgent matter so early?"

"Xiao Wang has been suspended," Bai Xiaohan said indignantly, "What you said last night, I always feel that there is something strange in it. ”

"Shouldn't you doubt Xiao Wang? Do you believe him so much? Star Swirl asked.

"Although what Sir Chen said makes sense, I still don't think Xiao Wang would do such a thing," Bai Xiaohan looked at Star Swirl with doubts in his eyes, "Why is your face so red and you have a fever?" ”

"Nope!" Star Swirl shook her head vigorously, "Do you want my help?" ”
