Mr Xie And His Cat - Chapter 53
It rained in the late winter night, and the noisy city returned to silence, which was somewhat depressed by this dank atmosphere. The cold wind carried the night rain and slapped the windows recklessly, and then slid down the glass, repeatedly reluctant to give up.
But the room just separated by a curtain is another scene at this moment.
Everything outside the window was ruthlessly isolated by the curtains, and the indoor temperature was warm and suitable. Ji Qinghuai kicked the quilt off his body because he felt hot in his sleep, Xie Yan opened his eyes, and silently helped him cover the quilt.
Perhaps feeling the movements of the people around him, Ji Qinghuai squeezed beside Xie Yan, buried his head in the side of his neck, and sniffed the familiar fragrance of grapefruit, and Ji Qinghuai fell asleep again.
Immediately, Ji Qinghuai fell into a dream.
In the dream, Ji Qinghuai was in darkness, there was no light around him, and he couldn’t see his fingers. Ji Qinghuai had dreamed of this scene.
If it was the same dream, then he would hear a slow breathing sound, as if something was sleeping, and then wake him up, staring at him with bloodthirsty red eyes.
However, the expected scene did not appear. There was a sound in Ji Qinghuai’s ear, but it was not a breathing sound, but a clear “tick” sound, which was the sound of water droplets falling on the water. Ripples in circles.
Ji Qinghuai turned to look in the direction of the sound, but it was still dark in front of him, and he couldn’t see anything clearly. Just at this moment, a gentle breeze came towards him, leaving a scent on the tip of his nose.
That’s the smell of blood!
Ji Qinghuai took a breath and suffocated.
The blood in his body began to churn, as if it had been affected by something, and suddenly a strong desire was aroused. Ji Qinghuai tried his best to control the sudden abnormality, but he noticed that something was confusing and entered his consciousness, trying to destroy all his sanity.
“Hmm…” In his sleep, Ji Qinghuai cried out in pain.
Xie Yan, who was beside him, didn’t fall asleep. He heard the sound and asked softly, “What’s wrong?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Ji Qinghuai opened his eyes suddenly, his hand was always around Jie Yan, the hug made the embrace warmer, sniffing the light grapefruit scent on Jie Yan’s body, Ji Qinghuai frowned and slammed out of bed. sit up.
Xie Yan was startled by Ji Qinghuai’s sudden action. When he got up, he reached out and turned on the light. The light suddenly came on. Ji Qinghuai narrowed his eyes in discomfort, and his mood was calmed down by the bright light.
Xie Yan saw that Ji Qinghuai’s face was not right, and worried: “Is there something uncomfortable?”
Ji Qinghuai calmly avoided Xie Yan’s gaze, raised his hand and pressed his forehead, “I…have a headache.”
“Have you caught a cold?” Xie Yan said, reaching out to test the temperature of Ji Qinghuai’s forehead. She wanted to see if Ji Qinghuai had symptoms of fever. This was a very common action, but when Ji Qinghuai saw it, she was startled and ran away in a panic.
Xie Yan’s outstretched hand stopped, Ji Qinghuai was also a little stunned and at a loss, Xie Yan calmly retracted his hand, lifted the quilt and got out of bed, “I’ll go get you a glass of water.”
Ji Qinghuai’s eyes followed Xie Yan from the bedside to the door of the room. After Xie Yan went out, he didn’t take his eyes off. Just looking back.
Taking the water glass that Xie Yan handed over, Ji Qinghuai raised his head and drank the warm water in one breath. He sat on the bed for a while, and the strange urge on his body gradually disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Qinghuai put the empty glass in his hand aside, and immediately raised his head to look at Xie Yan, recalling his move to avoid Xie Yan just now, Ji Qinghuai tentatively held Xie Yan’s hand, seeing that Yan did not reject him, he approached and hugged Xie Yan.
Ji Qinghuai’s chin rested on Xie Yan’s shoulder and took a deep breath, “I seem to have… a nightmare.”
Xie Yan has always been a careful person. Ji Qinghuai can’t fool the past with a nightmare, “Is it just a nightmare?”
Ji Qinghuai snorted.
Xie Yan was a little helpless. Ji Qinghuai didn’t want to tell him the truth, so he could only ask himself, “Did you meet Xu Luo some time ago?”
Xie Yan looked down at Ji Qinghuai who was holding him, “Is it affected again?”
The word “again” has already explained everything, Ji Qinghuai turned his head to look at Jie Yan, “You know all about it?”
“Yeah.” Xie Yan said, “I knew it on Christmas night.”
Ji Qinghuai was a little surprised.
Xie Yanhui held Ji Qinghuai’s hand and asked him calmly, “Why didn’t you tell me for so many days?”
“Aren’t you angry at the time?” Ji Qinghuai said truthfully: “I didn’t dare to call you in those days, because I was afraid that you would draw a line with me and think about how to ease the relationship with you every day. Say this.”
“Let’s talk about it…” Ji Qinghuai paused and lowered his eyes, “After all, this is my own business. It’s boring to say it like I’m trying to gain sympathy.”
This is Ji Qinghuai’s own idea, but Xie Yan has never thought of it this way. He was angry because of Ji Qinghuai before, but it wasn’t because of what happened that night, so why should he be sympathetic?
Xie Yan asked again, “What about tonight? If I don’t ask, when are you going to hide it?”
“Hidden one day counts as one day.” Ji Qinghuai said: “This poison is more powerful than I expected. I’m afraid you will worry.”
“I’m happy to worry.” Xie Yan raised her hand and pinched Ji Qinghuai’s face, “Ji Qinghuai, you said that you liked me, and I have the right to know everything about you in the future. Hide me, do you understand?”
Ji Qinghuai blinked and was surprised by the way Xie Yan was playing with him now. Xie Yan saw Ji Qinghuai staring at him without speaking, and pinched Ji Qinghuai’s face.
Xie Yan’s hand was not heavy, but it was enough to make Ji Qinghuai recover. Ji Qinghuai hurriedly said, “I understand, I understand.”
After guaranteeing that Ji Qinghuai will also discuss with Xie Yanda, “Then you can’t hide anything from me in the future.”
Xie Yan: “Okay.”
The two looked at each other, and Ji Qinghuai’s eyes fell on Xie Yan’s gold glasses while they were talking. Ji Qinghuai was curious and asked, “Mr. Xie, why are you still wearing glasses in the middle of the night?”
Ji Qinghuai recalled that, whether it was the time he stayed at Xie Yan’s house or when they got along in private, Xie Yan never took off his glasses.
Thinking like this, Ji Qinghuai raised his hand and took off Xie Yan’s glasses.
The moment the glasses were taken off, Xie Yan closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the dark pupils turned red.
Ji Qinghuai was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Xie Yan always had to wear these glasses. These glasses were similar to blindfolds, which were used to cover up his original eye color.
Ji Qinghuai stared at Jie Yan’s eyes and looked carefully, “Crimson red, this kind of eye color is rare.”
“Well.” Xie Yan said: “It’s very special, and it’s easy to attract attention.”
Easier to cause trouble.
In the second half of the sentence, Xie Yan didn’t say it.
He could actually dodge when Ji Qinghuai took off his glasses, but he just agreed with Ji Qinghuai that he would not hide anything from him, so he obeyed Ji Qinghuai’s wishes.
Ji Qinghuai’s thoughts are not on the same channel at all. He is only interested in appreciating the beauty of his family, Mr. Xie, and he still praises him, “But looking at it this way, these eyes are even more beautiful.”
Xie Yan heard the words and chuckled, “Thank you for the compliment.”
“You’re welcome.” Ji Qinghuai grinned at Xie Yan, and suddenly remembered what Xie Yan had said before, “Didn’t you say that few people praise you, then I will praise you every day from now on, not too much, okay?”
Facing Ji Qinghuai’s expectant gaze, Xie Yan refused, “Go to sleep.”
Xie Yan lay down on the bed first, pulled the quilt over his body, Ji Qinghuai turned off the light, got into the quilt and lay beside Xie Yan.
In the darkness, Ji Qinghuai was very bored with his eyes open. After a while, he said, “Mr. Xie, I can’t sleep.”
Xie Yan closed her eyes and said, “If you can’t sleep, go out for a morning run.”
“That won’t do.” Ji Qinghuai said: “It’s still raining outside, and it’s so windy, what should I do if I catch a cold.”
Xie Yan said, “I didn’t plan to go.”
Ji Qinghuai turned his head to look at Xie Yan, only then did he realize that Xie Yan was letting him go for a morning run, and said aggrieved: “You are so cruel.”
Xie Yan didn’t answer this, but asked, “Does your head still hurt?”
Ji Qinghuai answered honestly, “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
“Then shut up.”
Ji Qinghuai: “…Oh.”
After answering, Ji Qinghuai really kept his mouth shut and said nothing. After waiting for a while, Ji Qinghuai didn’t hear any movement from the people around him, and turned gently to hug Xie Yan.
Xie Yan raised the corners of his lips and let Ji Qinghuai hug him and accompany Ji Qinghuai to sleep again.
The next morning, Ji Qinghuai slept enough and opened his eyes. It was already bright outside. I don’t know if it was because he was in a good mood. Even though he had just woken up, Ji Qinghuai felt very energetic and drowsiness was gone.
Xie Yan in his arms had not woken up yet, and was hugged quietly by him, her soft hair scattered on the pillow casually, and her sleeping appearance added a bit of softness to this delicate face.
In fact, when Ji Qinghuai first took a serious look at Jieyan, he liked Jieyan’s appearance very much. Jieyan’s facial features were delicate enough, and he didn’t look aggressive.
But Xieyan’s temperament doesn’t follow her appearance. She clearly has a face that can make people easily tempted, but she has a cold temperament. In addition, she usually only follows the rules and doesn’t show affection, no matter how good she looks. It’s just going to be intimidating.
In such a comparison, Ji Qinghuai was even more moved by the current Xie Yan than the usual cold and reserved Mr. Xie. He couldn’t help but raise his head and drop a kiss on Xie Yan’s forehead.
As soon as he lowered his head, Ji Qinghuai met a pair of calm eyes.
Ji Qinghuai: “…”
Ji Qinghuai was a little embarrassed to be caught stealing a kiss on the spot. After two seconds of silence, Ji Qinghuai blinked, “How about… let you kiss back?”
Xie Yan: “…”
Xie Yan ignored Ji Qinghuai, got up and got out of bed to wash up, and then started to make breakfast based on the ingredients available at home.
This silly cat can ignore it for now, and still have to eat.
