Chapter 22: Time Back
Like the rewind of a movie, the images of the two days rushed through Shabho's mind—flowers and meadows, stars and aurora in the space of consciousness;
a confined room that shone with a myriad of golden lights;
a white-haired old man who says tongue twisters;
a liar dressed as Xiao Yu;
the golden silhouette of the home that appears out of thin air;
a long-lost call with Gu Yao;
the supervisor who took over someone else's mess;
Xiao Yu, who poked his nostrils with a thread in the middle of the night......
When Xia Buhe came back to his senses, he was staring blankly at the note in his hand.
"Watch out for you man"
Five neatly arranged print fonts......
In my ears are the clatter of spatulas and the noisy chirping of cicadas; In front of me is the noisy street scene at dusk, the fried rice uncle in the pot, and the choking smoke coming from the stove in his nose......
Did I travel back in time two days ago? Or are you stuck in the hallucination of memory?
Looking at the steaming world in front of him, it was like seeing a beautiful scene, Xia Buhe couldn't help but ask questions in his mind.
"I said I could restore your hand and take you out of ......"
The ethereal voice in her head answered her, and the knuckles on the back of her right palm still faintly lingered with sharp pain.
It's true......
Go back in time!
She didn't know how little Gege did it.
But it was indeed as it promised, back two days ago, his palm was not injured, and he was not inexplicably locked up.
This is equivalent to helping himself recover from his injuries and escape from captivity in disguise......
"Hey, what's the fuss."
Xiao Yu, who was wearing a long-sleeved sweatshirt and a hood, hugged Xia Buhe from behind.
Xia Buhe subconsciously clenched the paper ball in her hand, and was about to throw it at the trash can at her feet, when she suddenly reacted - if she told Xiao Yu all this at the beginning, would she be able to change what happened later?
"This note somehow appeared in my hand......" Xia Buhe handed the crumpled note to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu opened it and looked at it, with a symbolic smile on his face: "Who is so boring and engaging in such a prank?" Is it one of your suitors who wants to dig into my corner? ”
Xia Buhe looked at Xiao Yu, his handsome face, always without a serious playfulness, never troubled attitude, at this moment in Xia Buhe's eyes became a deliberate disguise.
This intimate lover who gets along with him day and night is like a dark mystery that is calmly exposed to the sun.
"You're here to pick me up and go to the mall across the street to find work, right?" Xia Buhe's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
Xiao Yu made an exaggerated expression on his face: "Yo, how do you know?" ”
"I don't just know this, I also know that you have roses hidden in your clothes......"
After Xia Buhe finished speaking, he put his hand into Xiao Yu's sweatshirt and touched it randomly......
Aside from his slightly moist skin and strong muscles, he didn't touch anything else in his sweatshirt.
"Don't bring a prop?" There was suspicion in Xia Buhe's eyes.
Xiao Yu's face was full of embarrassment, and he clasped the back of his head and said: "You don't necessarily need props to perform magic, you can also rely on techniques and skills......
"You can rely on some kind of special energy, right?" Xia Bu Heyun interrupted Xiao Yu lightly.
Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment and stood in place.
Xia Buhe turned his head and picked up a packaged fried rice in front of the fried rice stall, took out his mobile phone and scanned the QR code hanging on the parasol, and left directly.
"Eh, girl, this is a spicy ......," the uncle shouted to Xia Buhe, who had not yet gone far, holding another bowl of freshly filled fried rice.
"I know, the bowl is his!" Shabhe didn't look back, and continued walking.
Xiao Yu took the fried rice, threw an embarrassed smile at the uncle, and turned his head to chase after Xia Buhe's back.
"What do you know?"
"Everything you need to know knows."
“……”
"I also know your magic tricks are fake!"
"Magic is inherently fake......"
“……”
"You have such short legs, why are you walking so fast today?"
“……”
In the setting sun, two young shadows one after the other, hidden in the chirping of insects and the evening breeze.
"The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own pig nests~" Xia Buhe nested comfortably on the sofa, put his feet on the coffee table, and picked up the fried rice to eat, "Well, it's so fragrant......"
Xiao Yu sensed that Xia Buhe was a little abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
He felt that it was better not to provoke Xia Buhe for now, so he sat down in front of the computer silently and started playing.
Xiao Yu in front of the computer screen rolled his spicy red mouth, panting cautiously, and didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.
The sound of keyboard tapping has also become more cautious, less loud than it used to be.
But you can't hide from what you should have come after all......
"Tell me, do you confess yourself, or will I confess for you?" Xia Buhe threw the finished lunch box on the table, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked cold to interrogate the prisoner.
"Confession...... What......" Xiao Yu asked knowingly.
The sun had set, the lights were not turned on in the room, the gradually faint light, and the gradually cold atmosphere made Xiao Yu feel unprecedented oppression.
The flickering light on the computer screen relentlessly illuminated Xiao Yu's face, making him the prisoner illuminated by the interrogation lights.
"Confess about your magic and what you've never told me about it—the secret behind it."
Xia Buhe's soft voice made Xiao Yu sit on pins and needles.
Xiao Yu timidly turned his head, but he didn't dare to look directly at Xia Buhe, and said in a hesitant voice: "The code of magicians - keep the secret of magic." ”
Xia Buhe raised his hand and wiped it in front of him, and a soft white light flashed from the place where his palm passed, illuminating the entire room.
"You've never told me about that......"
Xiao Yu jumped together, ran in front of Xia Buhe with agility, and reached out to support the back of Xia Buhe's neck.
Xia Buhe felt that Xiao Yu's tight chest had touched him, as the ups and downs of his chest breathing had been clearly transmitted to his chest.
Heavy breathing with dampness and heat rushed to Shabhe's face.
The face that still had the heroic spirit of a teenager was getting closer and closer.
Shabho's heart raced for a moment.
What is he trying to do......
The curtains are still open......
"Are you awake?"
"Awake? I didn't fall asleep again......" Xia Buhe dodged Xiao Yu's fiery eyes.
"Awakening is just a term that refers to the awakening of the ability to manipulate the energy in the body." Xiao Yu looked at Xia Buhe, who was ruddy, with a malicious smile on his face.
Xia Buhe only felt at this time that Xiao Yu placed it in the palm of the back of his neck, transmitting a stream of warm energy, and those energies were swimming around his body like a probe.
"You...... What are you doing here......" Xia Buhe didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Yu for a long time, and the ruddy on his face became even more obvious.
"I just want to see how capable my wife is, dare to ......be weird with me," Xiao Yu noticed the dodge in Xia Buhe's eyes, and deliberately moved his face closer.
"However, the way you were aggressive just now is quite sexy......"
Xia Buhe's body went limp, and she only felt a soft touch of hot and humid heat against her lips......
