Chapter 11: Sweet Delusion That Can't Be Escaped 1
After a hearty meal, we stood in front of the bus stop, ready to go home. The vehicles kept coming and going, but I suddenly felt lost and unfamiliar, as if no bus could take me back to a safe harbor.
"Hey, what are you waiting for? Did you feel stupid from the meal just now?" Hongze poked me with his finger and said with dissatisfaction.
I looked at Hongze beside me and asked him puzzledly: "Where are we going back to?"
"Go home!" Hongze answered me without hesitation, decisively and confidently, and put his arm around me and walked onto the bus that was parked in front of us.
I passively walked to the back seat and sat down. Looking at the green carriage and blue seats, I suddenly thought of something: "Has the No. 908 bus been replaced with a new one?"
"Route 908? I don't know." Hongze sat beside me and answered casually. A bad premonition came to my mind. I squinted my eyes and tried to see the route map hanging on the side of the car: "Did we get on the wrong bus?"
"Ah? How did you lead the way?" Hongze said it very naturally, as if he was not the one who led me to the wrong bus.
I banged my head with a headache: "I will believe you, I must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."
Hongze looked stunned and said with a hint of regret: "When? Why didn't I see it?"
I rolled my eyes and refused to continue communicating with him. The worry that was just lingering in my heart disappeared without a trace after this.
Finally, we found bus No. 908 and successfully returned to the family building after changing to it. Standing under the family building, I looked up and saw that the word "home" had been pasted back on without knowing when.
The brand new acrylic sign reflects dazzling light under the spotlight.
I couldn't help but laugh: "It's always so appropriate."
Hongze asked me curiously: "What?"
I turned my head away proudly: "Secret!"
"Stingy!" Hongze snorted, walked past me and entered the family building first.
Looking at Hongze's back, I whispered, "Welcome home."
When I got home and opened the door, I saw Linglong squatting in the entrance hall waiting for us. Linglong meowed and jumped into my arms, refusing to come out.
Linglong's fur made my nose itchy, and I sneezed , which scared Linglong and myself. Since Hongze appeared, I have never been allergic to animal hair again. What is the reason now?
I looked back at Hongze in surprise. Hongze touched his nose unnaturally and coughed lightly: "Well... it still has a little impact today, a little bit, a little bit..."
"Really?" The image of Hong Ze writhing in pain on the ground with blood flowing from his neck appeared in front of me again, making it difficult for me to tell which of his words was the truth.
"Really, it's okay now. Look, you just sneezed." Hongze changed his shoes, squeezed past me and sat on the sofa carelessly.
"Meow..." Linglong called again, and licked my mouth with her little tongue, as if urging me to go into the house.
I held Linglong and sat next to Hongze, and asked worriedly, "Will the chairman find out that you cheated? If he finds out, I'm afraid we can't live here anymore..."
Hongze turned on the TV skillfully and took out a bag of fish food from under the coffee table to feed the little koi: "Don't worry, he won't find it for a while."
"But, he will find out one day." I didn't understand what Hongze meant by "a short time". I secretly calculated my savings and thought about renting a house.
"You don't have to think so much. I'm here, nothing will happen. I'm very strong!"
Hongze's words could not dispel my concerns. I was still worried: "This is not about how strong you are. Even if you are strong, you still need a place to live. You can't even get out of the restrictions of the Soul Binding Cage now, and you still say you are strong."
"You! Who said I can't get out?" Hongze seemed to be irritated by my words. He stood up suddenly and was about to walk out the door.
I quickly stood up and grabbed him, coaxing him, "Okay, okay, you can get out. You are the strongest. The Soul Binding Cage is nothing. You can't even look at it."
"Humph, you don't believe me." Hongze didn't pry my hands apart too seriously. He walked back to the sofa and sat down , continuing to feed the little koi.
I stood there, holding my chin and tilting my head to look at Hongze, smiling faintly: "I just wanted to keep you."
"Huh? I don't want to leave." Hongze looked at me warily, as if he had seen a ghost.
I burst into laughter. It seemed that he had forgotten the quarrel we had not long ago. But what I thought was unreasonable at that time, I did so naturally now. My heart was filled with happiness, which squeezed out all my sorrow. I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "It's good to be home!"
Hongze glanced at me with a smile and said proudly, "Humph, it's better to have me."
