Close Your Eyes When It Gets Dark - C329

Apart from my bathroom, Lu Qinglang has already finished cooking.

“July, you eat first, I’ll go take a bath.” Lu Qinglang didn’t even look at me as he dodged into the bathroom.

I looked down at my light pajamas. As I wasn’t wearing any underwear, so …

If it had been before, I would have put on a coat. It doesn’t matter now.

My hearing seemed to be much better than before. Looking at the tightly shut door of the bathroom, I could hear the sound of water splashing and Lu Qinglang’s heavy breathing.

I didn’t know what Lu Qinglang was doing, didn’t want to know what he was doing. I wanted to know if he was the person who was destined for me, the person who could lead me out of pain and despair.

Eat the noodles slowly, from the mouth all the way to the stomach. People say that the stomach is connected to the heart, stomach pain is a heart disease, stomach warmth is a relief. As long as Song Nan doesn’t show up in front of me, I can do it.

What was there to be afraid of? What was there to be afraid of?

I felt like I was being watched. When I looked up, Song Nan was sitting across from me. I was only one table away from him.

He swallowed the noodles in his mouth, wanting to say something to him. However, he had nothing else to say, so he could only lower his head and continue eating the noodles.

I had nothing to say. Song Nan just casually said, “It looks pretty delicious …”

“It tastes pretty good too.” I opened my mouth to say something infuriating. I didn’t want to say it, but my mouth was uncontrollable. “Unfortunately, you can’t eat it, nor can you eat it.”

“Is that so?” Song Nan was not annoyed at all, “I want to see if I can eat it, or not.”

“Who are you talking to in July?” Lu Qinglang came out of the bathroom and asked me curiously.

And Song Nan, who was standing in front of him, had suddenly disappeared.

At this moment, Lu Qinglang’s entire body was emanating a peculiar aura, carrying a sense of satisfaction from having been released. He scared me a little.

I forced myself to remain calm. “Aren’t you going to have some too?”

“When you took a bath, I already ate first.” Lu Qinglang sat in the seat that Song Nan had just occupied, wiping his hair with a towel.

Sitting so close, the refreshing feeling on his body became even stronger under the dense steam.

He didn’t say anything else. He just watched quietly as I finished eating the noodles. Then, he took out a fruit plate and handed it to me. I didn’t hold back, I took it and started eating.

When Lu Qinglang finished washing the dishes, I was watching TV on the sofa with the fruit bowl in my arms.

“Do you think we should always be like this?”

Lu Qinglang’s voice was very gentle. Song Nan was also very gentle, but the two were different. Inside Song Nan’s warmth, there was a fire of despair. It was terrifying, yet also filled with anticipation. He felt that being drowned to death like this was also a type of happiness.

“Lu Qinglang.” I seriously called out his name.

“Yes.” Lu Qinglang smiled and nodded.

Looking at the anticipation in his eyes, I cruelly changed the topic. “Tomorrow, accompany me to a place.”

I turned my head to watch TV, pretending not to see the disappointment in Lu Qinglang’s eyes. “Will you be free tomorrow?”

Lu Qinglang was silent for a few seconds, before replying, “I’ll go with you.”

I tried to compress Song Nan to his smallest size. I wanted to hide him in a new corner, where I could get up without touching him.

However, when I compressed him to the point where he couldn’t be any smaller, I realized that my heart was only that big.
