Chapter 20: The Siren (4)
The two of them took a slow bath, and it took more than half an hour to get out of the bathroom.
Xie Tianqing sat cross-legged on the carpet in the living room, Hua Candle knelt behind him and held a hair dryer to blow his hair.
At the beginning, the flower candle would also burn Xie Tian to wail, but the movements in the past two days have been much more skillful.
This is also what Xie Tianqing often does for Hua Candle, and now that his hand is injured, it is the other way around.
There was a faint smile on the corner of Xie Tianqing's mouth, feeling the feeling of Hua Candle's hand passing through his hair, and the electric wind blowing his hair, hot and warm.
"Flower candles." Xie Tianqing suddenly shouted.
The flower candle who helped him blow his hair seriously responded: "Huh? ”
"Thank you."
Hua Zhu blushed: "I'm a courtesy ...... exchange."
After half a ring, Xie Tianqing's hair was dried, and Hua Zhu blew his own hair.
Luckily, none of their hair is very long, so it doesn't have to be a hassle to blow it out. But sometimes Hua Zhu thinks that Xie Tianqing must look good if he has long hair.
It was already past eleven o'clock at night and twelve o'clock after they finished tossing and preparing to go to bed, and it was raining lightly outside, and it seemed that the temperature had dropped several degrees with the rain.
Hua Zhu touched her stomach and felt hungry again. So while Xie Tianqing was looking at the computer, he secretly took some snacks and jumped on the bed.
Xie Tianqing was looking at the homework sent by the school, and he planned to try to draw with his left hand if he was free. Just as he was thinking this, his nose smelled the smell of shredded squid and the sound of his hand touching a plastic bag.
He turned his head to meet the candle's gaze.
Hua Zhu winked at him, and silently ate the shredded squid that was half in his mouth and half exposed.
"Flower candles! I've told you so many times that you can't eat in bed! Xie Tianqing said in a hurry.
Hua Zhu hugged the snack and looked dissatisfied: "Why not?" I'll be careful not to fall out of bed. ”
"You say that every time." Xie Tianqing stepped forward and took the snack in Hua Candle's arms, "It's very dirty, come down and eat." ”
Xie Tianqing deliberately laid a soft carpet and a lazy sofa in the room in order to keep Hua Candle from eating snacks in bed, but Hua Candle still likes to eat in bed.
Hua Zhu jumped out of bed angrily and lay down on the lazy sofa: "It's so stingy." ”
Xie Tianqing laughed angrily at him: "This is not stingy, this is love and clean." Don't you often say that you are a cat who loves to be clean? ”
"I'm a cat who loves cleanliness, I don't believe you. I don't have to take a shower for a month. The flower candle also showed a proud expression.
After hearing this, Xie Tianqing's face was full of disgust, and even showed an expression of amazement: "If you dare not like me in January, I won't hug you, little dirty cat." ”
Hua Zhu snorted lightly and ignored him, eating snacks while watching TV with his mobile phone.
Xie Tianqing also returned to the computer. The air was suddenly quiet, so quiet that you could hear the raindrops falling outside.
But this does not seem lonely, but a little warm.
In a room, there are only the two of them, and even if they are doing their own things, they will not feel embarrassed or lonely, because their hearts are very close.
From time to time, Hua Candle would look up at Xie Tianqing, but Xie Tianqing didn't notice it. When the candle didn't notice it, Xie Tianqing would also look back at the candle.
Time passes in such bits and pieces. Hua Zhu yawned, he looked at the snacks that were only left in the outer packaging, threw them into the trash, patted the remaining pieces on his body, jumped on the bed, and covered the quilt.
The quilt was cold, and Hua Candle couldn't help but shrink her toes.
"Tianqing, go to sleep." Flower Candle shouted.
"Hmm." It happened that Xie Tianqing pressed the shutdown button of the computer.
Hua Candle turned back into a cat, Xie Tianqing also lay on the bed, he hugged Hua Candle Cat tightly in his arms, and rubbed Hua Candle's head with his chin: "Good night." ”
After adjusting her posture, Hua Zhu also said, "Good night." ”
Xie Tianqing stretched out his hand from the quilt and turned off the light.
When it rains, it always makes people feel better to fall asleep, and it is not easy to wake up when they fall asleep. Coupled with the gloomy weather, it is not easy to cheer up.
This night, Xie Tianqing had a dream, he hadn't dreamed for a long time......
In the dream, he was with Hua Candle, walking on the bridge, but Hua Candle, who was always by his side, walked in front of him, tilting his head sideways and looking at the river.
There was fog all around, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and Hua Zhu turned around and said something to him, but he didn't hear it clearly, and Hua Zhu jumped into the river in front of him.
Xie Tianqing subconsciously wanted to grab him, and when he dreamed of this, he woke up.
He pondered for a while, then reached out and put the candle back into his arms.
Hua Candle slept deeply, and the cat's paw held his hand and rubbed it against his mouth.
Sometimes dreams are a reflection of real events, sometimes they are just human imaginations, but sometimes they are an extension of the future.
No one can tell which one it is, and Xie Tianqing is the same.
He looked at the sky outside and judged that it should be around five or six o'clock in the morning, and the sky was still on the verge of dawn.
It's a lucid dream...... He thought to himself.
But soon, he was attacked by a wave of sleepiness again, and this time he did not dream of anything again, and slept until the afternoon.
It's a little cold outside, the heating is not turned on, and the candle wakes up but doesn't want to come out of the warm quilt, and keeps holding on to Xie Tianqing and doesn't let go.
"Hua Candle, if you don't let go of me, I won't be able to go out to turn on the heating, and if I don't turn on the heating, you won't be out of the bed, and if the cycle goes on like this, we will stay in the bed for the rest of our lives." Xie Tianqing said to the flower candle in his arms in a good voice.
"How nice it is to not go out in the bed for the rest of your life!" The flower candle let out a yearning sigh.
“…… So it's okay if you don't eat fish for the rest of your life? ”
“…… No way. Flower Candle let go of her claws.
Xie Tianqing was finally able to get out of the quilt, he turned on the heating in the house, and after the temperature rose, the flower candle came out of the quilt and changed back into a human form.
And a layer of mist rose on the glass of their house.
The candle wiped the mist away, looked at the foggy weather outside, and said, "It doesn't seem to be raining." ”
"Hmm." Xie Tian looked at the time after cleaning and rinsing, and it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, "Are you hungry?" I ordered takeout. ”
"Well, let's call it." After eating a fish with a more appetizing appetite yesterday, he is not so averse to takeout.
Soon, the takeaway brother delivered the meal to Xie Tianqing's hands, seeing that the takeaway brother was shivering coldly, Xie Tianqing not only gave the takeaway brother a good review, but also gave the little brother a red envelope of a few yuan.
Hua Zhu picked up the chopsticks, but kept his eyes on the TV.
Xie Tianqing raised his hand and waved it in front of Hua Candle's eyes: "Lord Demon Lord, it's time to eat." ”
"Uh-huh, I'm eating." Hua Zhu still didn't look at the dish in front of him.
Xie Tianqing sighed: "It's obviously a demon, but I like TV series played by mortals so much......"
"It's funny, don't you think?" Flower Candle replied with great interest.
"I don't think it's bloody and boring." Xie Tianqing took the white rice and picked up the dish in front of him.
"It's dog blood that's interesting."
Xie Tianqing suddenly evoked a malicious smile: "There is a very good-looking animation, cat and mouse, do you like it?" ”
Hua Candle's face immediately deflated: "I don't like it!" ”
"That ......"
"I don't like it, I don't like it Hua Zhu changed a channel and is broadcasting news.
Xie Tianqing showed a triumphant smile, Hua Zhu glanced at him, and began to concentrate on eating.
At about five o'clock in the evening, the sky outside was completely dark, and the foggy night was even more eerie and gloomy. But fortunately, it didn't rain, and there were still a lot of people coming and going on the street.
Flower candles and reconciliation days cleared out of the door. Before the front foot of the candle stepped out of the door, a gust of cold wind blew over, and the candle shook from head to toe and shrank back.
"Tianqing, or ...... Forget it. Hua Zhu looked at Xie Tianqing with a coquettish tone.
Xie Tianqing looked back at the dazzle candle, reached out and dragged him out of the house, and pulled him all the way into the elevator.
Hua Zhu followed behind Xie Tianqing angrily: "Other cats are nesting next to the electric heater now." ”
Xie Tianqing glanced at Hua Zhu dangerously: "There are still many cats who are homeless." ”
Hua Zhu suddenly closed her mouth, her face full of grievances and pitiful.
Xie Tianqing felt cute and funny when he saw Hua Zhu like this, and couldn't help but touch his head: "How can the demon lord be so unpursued like an ordinary cat?" Right? ”
Hua Candle looked up at Xie Tianqing: "Yes! But ......"
"Okay, no, but." Xie Tianqing covered Hua Candle's mouth.
The elevator reached the first floor, and the wind flowing through the hall in the community was even more chilling. Hua Zhu shrank his neck coldly, and not far away, Zhan Jian had been waiting downstairs in their community for a while, he was wearing a coat, both hands were in his pockets, his neck was shrunk, and he was walking in place.
Hua Zhu saw that and instantly stretched his shrunken neck back. He is a demon lord, how can he be as cold as a mortal?
"See you." Xie Tianqing shouted.
Only then did Zhan Jian notice that they ran forward against the wind: "It's so cold today!" ”
He leaned closer to the candle and saw that the yang flame on his left shoulder, which had been extinguished, had ignited a small flame slightly, while the yang flame on his right shoulder was still extinguished.
It's at least much better than yesterday.
Zhan saw that Hua Zhu had been staring at his shoulder, and he also looked down at his shoulder, but there was nothing.
"What are you looking at?" Zhanjian asked curiously.
"You want to know?" Flower candle asked rhetorically.
Zhanjian smiled wryly: "If it has something to do with me, of course I want to know." ”
"Didn't I say yesterday that you only have one of the three yang fires left on your head? Today, I see that the yang fire on your left shoulder has a little flame, and you slept okay last night? ”
"Yes...... Not bad. "Zhanjian always thought that he had encountered such a terrible thing that night, and he should have nightmares at night, but it was strange that he didn't," this yang fire ...... How do you burn? ”
Hua Zhu raised her eyebrows: "Do you believe in this kind of thing?" Aren't you afraid I'm talking nonsense? ”
Zhanjian hurriedly shook his head: "I have been studying this kind of folk numerology feng shui supernatural thing for a long time, so I joined the school's supernatural research association, and now I am still the vice president, of course I believe it!" ”
