Chapter 19: The Rain Has Not Stopped
The rain continued all day, the air was filled with the smell of rain, and the whole city was shrouded in smoke and rain. Mr. X closes the door and says to Star Swirl, "Come back with me." So Li Xingxuan silently followed him and stepped on the rain all the way home. In addition to the fact that the dormitory curfew time has passed, it is more that she doesn't want to be alone at the moment.
The two of them did not hold umbrellas, and their clothes were a little damp, and when they entered the house, Mr. X put hot water in the bathtub and urged her to take a bath. Star Swirl immersed herself in hot water, feeling refreshed. The bathroom was lit with incense, and it gave off a nice smell, very similar to the smell of Mr. X.
The events she had encountered recently came to her mind one after another, and every time she experienced it, she felt a sense of heaviness in her heart. Star Swirl was eager to ask Angel how she could pull herself out of these people and things when she encountered them. Remembering that Li Leqi didn't answer her phone in the afternoon, and didn't call back later, Star Swirl couldn't help but be a little worried. Suddenly, the door of the bathroom was opened, Li Xingxuan was startled, and immediately sank into the water: "You, why did you come in?" Mr. X chuckled: "Put your changed clothes here, don't soak in hot water for too long." So saying, he closed the door and went out.
What Mr. X left for Li Xingxuan was a white men's T-shirt, which was worn wide and wide on her body, and even covered her knees. Star Swirl walked out of the bathroom, her undried hair falling over her shoulders, and she pulled the hem of her dress and asked, "Aren't there any other clothes?" Mr. X shook his head, "Looks like a good fit." His gaze fell on Star Swirl for a moment. Li Xingxuan was furious by him, and asked, "Do you have a computer here?" I'd like to borrow it. "I don't have that kind of thing at home, I only have it in space." "Is the space the white building that Mr. Deer took me to last time?" Mr. X nodded, pulled a hair dryer from the cupboard, and beckoned to Star Swirl, "Come here." "I'll do it myself." Li Xingxuan just wanted to take the blow from him, but he held down his arm and said, "If the hair doesn't dry, it will be knotted." "But I'm human now! Li Xingxuan secretly protested in her heart, but she still let Mr. X help her blow her hair, his palm stroked her hair, and his fingers passed through the hair, Star Swirl suddenly felt a little sleepy, she narrowed her eyes, as if she had changed back into a cat.
I don't know when I fell asleep, but in my dim consciousness I felt someone holding me and carefully putting it on the bed. Late at night, Li Xingxuan opened his eyes and saw the moonlight pouring like water on the floor, and he was the only one in the room, the curtains were not closed, and he could see a few stars on a dark sky, and the rain seemed to have stopped. She suddenly heard a movement behind her, a very slight "squeak", Li Xingxuan slowly turned around and looked, there was a small black beast standing at the head of the bed, staring at her with dark eyes. Li Xingxuan wanted to light the light in the room to see clearly, but she couldn't turn on the bedside light, she wanted to make a sound, her throat seemed to be blocked, and she struggled in consciousness for a while, and finally her eyes lit up, and Mr. X appeared in front of her.
"Nightmare?" He asked. "It's a dream...... It feels real. "Li Xingxuan is in a bit of a trance." What did you dream about? Mr. X sat down along the edge of the bed. Star Swirl pointed to the empty bedside and said, "There's a black beast standing there, with white spots on its feet, I've never seen anything like it. Mr. X patted Star Swirl on the head and said, "It's just a dream." Li Xingxuan looked at Mr. X pitifully with a pair of eyes, and a light smile appeared on his lips: "Do you want me to stay with you?" "No need to ......" Star Swirl was depressed, if it was a cat at the moment, she would be able to nest in his arms rightfully.
"Actually, I've always had a question." Li Xingxuan hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "When I attached myself to Li Xuanyue at first, you seemed to be very resistant to me, why?" Mr. X pondered for a moment: "Is it obvious?" "It's full of disgust." Star Swirl smiled wryly. "Perhaps, I'm not very interested in Li Xuanyue, and I don't want to get close." "But lately, I've noticed that your disgust seems to have disappeared." Li Xingxuan looked at the pair of blue and deep eyes, trying to read something from them, but it was too difficult to see through, these eyes did not have any waves, and they were bottomless. "The reason is very simple," Mr. X replied, "I can't feel Li Xuanyue's consciousness lately, and it seems that this Shen body belongs to you completely." After listening to Mr. X's answer, Li Xingxuan couldn't sleep a little, it seems that the state of possession has stabilized, there should be no rejection, and there is plenty of time. However, will this be a good thing or a bad thing for Li Xuanyue? Mr. X did not mention it, and she could not confirm it yet.
On the second day of the coffee and book bar, it was Gu Yi's turn to be on duty. He saw Star Swirl come in with Mr. X, and looked very displeased. Before the official business started, Li Xingxuan walked up to Gu Yi and looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "The uniform looks decent to wear." Gu Yi didn't smile at her as usual, and asked in a low voice, "Xuanyue, what's wrong with you lately?" You don't say anything in your heart, you weren't like this before. ”
Star Swirl hadn't even had time to care about herself lately, let alone the feelings of the others around her, and her strange behavior might have aroused Gu Yi's suspicions. Seeing that Star Swirl didn't answer, Gu Yi glanced at Mr. X, "Does it have anything to do with him?" "Yes......" Star Swirl thinks there's nothing wrong with that. Gu Yi obviously misunderstood her relationship with Mr. X, "Even if you want to fall in love, you don't have to hide it from me." "Falling in love with Mr. X? Star Swirl was shocked to think about it, and she punched Gu Yi hard in the shoulder, "What do you think, how can I hide it from you?" "But you two are really close together, always whispering to the side, what the hell are you talking about?" And, last time I saw him holding your hand! Gu Yi couldn't help it, and put the words in his heart together.
Li Xingxuan felt that it was not good, the last time she shared Liu Qianyu's memories with Mr. X, she was afraid that Gu Yi saw it, and was thinking about how to answer, but was interrupted by a lazy male voice: "Do you need to explain?" Mr. X suddenly grabbed Li Xingxuan's shoulders and raised his eyebrows at Gu Yi: "You just think I'm interested in her." Hearing him say so casually, Gu Yi only felt a fire in his heart, and he pulled Star Swirl's arm: "You come out with me!" Mr. X pursed his lips and spread his hand, letting Li Xingxuan be dragged out of the coffee book bar by Gu Yi.
