Chapter 176: The Outside World
This night, Lu An slept peacefully.
Speaking of which, this is the first time he has spent the night in the main base of this 9786 base, when Liu Yuan sent him to this asteroid, he went straight to the monitoring post, and then more than a dozen round-trips, all within a day, never rested in the main base.
On the "second day", Lu An was woken up by Su Ruyu.
Of course, it's not so much "waking up" as being awakened by that familiar breath.
Lu An opened his confused eyes, looked at the pitch-black hall, and through those faint lights, he saw that on Su Ruyu's exclusive chair, there was a faint black shadow shaking.
And with the pungent smell wafting in, Lu An immediately understood that the shadow that was shaking was Su Ruyu.
He rubbed the corners of his eyes and asked inarticulately, "Early in the morning, you started drinking?" ”
"Hey, what's the early morning here?"
Lu An let out a long yawn before he said, "For me, it's early morning when I wake up after sleeping. ”
"Ah, I'm sorry, but according to you, it's already afternoon for me. Can't you drink alcohol in the afternoon? ”
Lu An slept comfortably, lying lazily on the mat, not wanting to get up, he stared at the pitch-black ceiling, slightly surprised.
"You woke up so early?"
"yes, I couldn't sleep, so I got up."
"Oh."
Of course, Lu An didn't know that Su Ruyu never really slept in the lounge, and he had forgotten the scene in the lounge that was so simple that he couldn't talk at all, so he thought that Su Ruyu really couldn't sleep, and he didn't know anything about his dove occupying the magpie's nest.
And Su Ruyu was not completely lying, she was not sleepy at all in that lounge, although she was already very sleepy, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
When she quietly opened the door of the lounge, she found that it was pitch black outside, and it had become so dark from the hall where the lights were always on that it was completely clear.
So Su Ruyu stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, and then retreated into the lounge, but she sat on the bed but didn't want to lie down, hesitated for a long time, jumped out of bed and opened the door, and followed the faint light to the hall.
In the few years since she came to Base 9786, Su Ruyu has slept in that comfortable chair almost most of the time, and she never turns off the light, she hates the dark.
On this desolate and remote asteroid, there is no day or night, and once you leave the base, there is a lonely and cold dark space everywhere.
Su Ruyu hates the night very much, and for some reason, she has always disliked this kind of darkness that consumes everything. So she rarely stepped out of that airtight hatch, and spent her days in the ever-bright halls of the main base.
Following the passage to the hall, Su Ruyu suppressed the panic in her heart and resisted the urge to turn on all the lights, just because she saw the motionless black shadow on the ground.
The sound of steady breathing made her suddenly calm down, and she went to the familiar chair and lay down lightly.
And I don't know what's going on, listening to the faint breath of sleep in her ears, Su Ruyu soon felt the attack of tiredness, closed her eyes and fell asleep calmly in just a few minutes.
This long day finally came to an end in the dark night that was rare to see in the main base of 9786 for several years.
On this page, Su Ruyu slept very peacefully.
When she suddenly opened her eyes in the dark night, she found that it was pitch black in front of her, and the panic in her heart immediately began to boil, but at this moment, there was an intermittent sound of grinding teeth in her ears.
Crunch, crunch, cluck, crunch......
Hearing this, she began to get goosebumps all over her body, and she couldn't help but curse in her heart.
"Bastard, bastard, who's who? Who is it! ”
Who else? Of course, it was Lu An who lay on the ground and had a good night's sleep.
Su Ruyu immediately reacted, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, "This bastard kid, scare me." ”
At this time, the panic that was boiling in Su Ruyu's heart just now immediately cooled down, and she began to block her ears to compete with the soul-torturing voice.
"This bastard, bastard, bastard, I should have rushed over right now and pulled him up by the ear."
Su Ruyu thought so, kept turning over in the chair, trying to get rid of the tooth-sour sound, and even thought that if Lu An could be very sensitive, it would be good to wake him up "naturally".
It's a pity, "How does this bastard sleep like a dead pig?!" It's really ......."
Hey? Why is it suddenly quiet?
Su Ruyu let go of the fingers that were blocking her ears, and looked at Lu An, the black clothes seemed to squirm and turned over.
So, the world finally quieted down.
Su Ruyu let out a long breath, feeling that the night in front of her was so lovely, she couldn't even raise half a point of fear.
She closed her eyes and was about to continue to sleep and have a good dream like just now, but she didn't expect to hear the intermittent sound of dreams in her ears again.
Su Ruyu was so angry that she suddenly sat up from the chair, eager to go up and strangle this bastard kid she had just rescued not long ago.
"Mom ......, brother ......"
A few words vaguely drifted into Su Ruyu's ears, making her suddenly stunned.
"Why didn't this kid grind his teeth and talk in his dreams instead?"
After all, it was not the feeling that made people sour all over and all the bones were astringent and brittle and hard, Su Ruyu lay down in the chair again, and the anger that was noisy seemed to be much less.
However, Su Ruyu was a little curious in her heart, "What kind of dream is this kid talking about?" ”
Although she doesn't know much about human psychology, she also knows that dreams reflect the real desires of many people. Many of these desires are suppressed on weekdays, cannot be released in the subconscious, or are ashamed to speak, and so on.
This kid looks serious and boring on weekdays, pretending to be old, what is the real thought in his heart?
Although no one was staring at the dark hall, Su Ruyu still turned over on the chair and turned her back to Lu An, but pricked up her ears and listened.
But after listening to it for a while, Su Ruyu couldn't help but sit up in a hurry, some distance away, this bastard boy spoke inarticulately, she was really anxious to die.
She simply got up from her chair, barefoot, cautiously came to the mat, and squatted down half a meter away.
Well, I can hear it this time.
Su Ruyu nodded with satisfaction, and this kid can say that it has been five minutes since just now, and it seems that he will not stop for a while.
Could it be that the annoying grinding teeth before were working on a draft? Or is it a warm-up? This kid doesn't usually look like a person who can speak, how can he be so inspired when he talks in his dreams?
Su Ruyu squatted next to Lu An, eavesdropping on his dream words with her ears pricked up like a fox.
"Hmm, what is this kid dreaming about? How does it look like a big party! So many names......"
"Huh? Xia Fatty? Is it that Xia Yiming? Wasn't it a random name before? Well, it seems that this is the case with Lin Yongping......"
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, um-......"
Su Ruyu listened to it with relish, and even nodded in agreement, as if nodding in praise.
"Huh-"
Su Ruyu suddenly made a voice with disdain, and did not wake up Lu An before the words fell, but she startled herself first, covering her mouth to see that Lu An was still talking, and then she patted the trembling little liver and put her heart at ease.
This kid, so you can say, isn't his mouth tired?
"But, I didn't expect wow, I didn't expect it! On weekdays, such a serious child is so dirty in his heart, tsk, and he still has the idea of so many people......tsk, tsk, it's really unseemly! ”
Su Ruyu squatted so numb that her legs were numb, so she simply quietly rubbed at Lu An's feet, found a vacant seat on the mat and sat down, and looked at the sleeping Lu An with a disdainful face, "Wait for you to wake up in a while, I'll scare you to death!" ”
……
However, Su Ruyu listened to it, but became more and more silent, and through the faint light in the hall, she looked at the sleeping Lu An, and her eyes suddenly became gentle.
He's really an older brother! It wasn't just casual nonsense last time. Moreover, Is his brother already dead?
Su Ruyu sighed silently, and reached out to pat Lu An for comfort, but reacted that this kid was still in a sweet dream, so she reached out for him to wrap the blanket that had fallen out of the mat.
"It turns out that the most delicious food he said last time was not the food itself, but the taste of that memory itself, which surpassed all real deliciousness."
Gradually, about Lu An was really tired of talking, he smacked his lips and suddenly stopped talking in his dreams. And Su Ruyu, who was still immersed in emotions, waited for a moment before she was stunned to find out, what about below?
After observing for a while, Su Ruyu was very sure that there was no more below!
"Bastard, what a bastard boy!"
Su Ruyu got up angrily and walked back to the chair barefoot, but she didn't feel sleepy when she lay down again.
She stared at the ceiling in a daze, and in the dark hall, she suddenly felt as if she had returned to the human society that had been absent for several years.
She hadn't really been alone on this desolate and remote asteroid for the past few years, she hadn't seen anyone else, but she knew that they were far away from her, not from the same world.
Ever since she escaped from Plato's crater on the moon, she had said goodbye to that human society, and she had exiled herself to another world.
But today, just now, she suddenly felt as if she had returned to human society.
The boy who slept not far away, listening to him tell many secrets that he himself might never know and could not tell to others, made her feel that through this kid, she suddenly connected to the "outside world" that had been isolated for a long time.
He saved himself, he saved him, and in any case, the two of them could not be considered unconnected.
In that "outside world", he has relatives and friends, joys and sorrows, and is closely connected with that world. And what about yourself? Through him, he was also swept into the "outside world".
……
Maybe Lu An became more tired because he talked too much in his sleep, so he slept in the dark hall and didn't know anything about what Su Ruyu was doing.
When Su Ruyu touched the wine bottle with trembling hands in the dark, she accidentally knocked over the bottle, and the "bang" sound was crisp and abnormal, but it still didn't make Lu An fresh, but it made Su Ruyu, who was startled, feel a lot more relieved.
She gasped and slurped, gradually calming down.
At this moment, a vague question suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Early in the morning, you started drinking?"
