Chapter 4 Even if you don't want to, your heart is mine 2
Shang Yi looked at me and still didn't speak.
Seeing his hand burned by the flames, I felt bad, so I said, "If an idol is hurt, the one who is heartbroken is always the one who is obsessed with you."
"What unnecessary kindness." An Lengxi's tone was not very gentle, and he seemed angry, "I'm leaving." He said this coldly and wanted to leave, but was stopped by me.
At this time, the Emperor of Heaven looked at the current situation, confirmed that I was not in danger, and quickly disappeared.
"Are you just leaving like that?" I was a little disappointed and looked at An Lengxi with wide eyes.
Won't you take me home? Don't you have anything to say to me? Or don't you want to be alone with me for a while?
"Do I need to treat you to a midnight snack?"
An Lengxi turned his head and looked at me with an indifferent, even disdainful expression, and put his hands in his pockets.
Looking at his face that looked gloomy at the moment, I knew he was probably in a bad mood, but did I offend him in any way? Was it because Shang Yi and I were having dinner together? Then why did he pretend to be indifferent? He clearly said that he would protect me well, didn't he?
Seeing that I was silent with a wronged look on my face, An Lengxi sighed, then took my arm and said as we walked, "I'll take you home."
The time we spend together always passes quickly. In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the door of my home. The lights were on. My parents must be waiting for me to come home, but I didn’t want to be separated from An Lengxi yet.
"What's wrong?" An Lengxi looked at me and asked lightly.
"I……"
"Would you like to come to my house tomorrow? I just happen to want to talk to you." I was stunned by his suggestion.
Going to his house? Is that going to hell? No way?
"Okay, then come pick me up." I thought about it and said excitedly.
"Aren't you afraid?" An Lengxi looked at me and asked, I just shook my head.
I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep that night. This feeling was really weird and I couldn't calm down. Whenever I thought about meeting him, my chest felt like it was suffocating. Is this what expectation was?
Oh, I will suffer from insomnia if this continues.
There is bright moonlight outside the window. It should be a good day tomorrow.
Before I knew it, the sky was turning pale, but I felt like I had just fallen asleep. I was so sleepy, but I couldn't continue sleeping now. It would be bad if I overslept. I had better get ready to go!
Thinking of this, I climbed out of bed, walked to the sink with heavy steps, looked at myself in the mirror, and was really shocked - such heavy dark circles under my eyes!
Wow... How can I meet people like this?
But An Lengxi never pays much attention to me, so don't worry.
After washing my face, I sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for An Lengxi to come, but he seemed to change his mind at the last minute, and I waited until noon but he still didn't show up. He had agreed to come at 8 o'clock in the morning, but it seemed like he wouldn't come.
“Ding Dong—Ding Dong—”
When I heard the doorbell ring, I immediately got up and opened the door. Seeing An Lengxi standing at the door and looking at me quietly, my expression and mood were very complicated. I was very happy about his arrival, but I also complained about why he came now. I thought he would not come just now, and I almost cried.
I frowned tightly at him and pouted my lips in protest.
An Lengxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked in a very calm tone: "What's wrong?"
What's wrong? You dare to ask?
But I can't get angry with him, it would be bad if he ignores me.
"Nothing." I said reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, I made some preparations, so I'm late." Seeing me like this, An Lengxi smiled faintly to apologize.
Prepare? Is it possible that his house is very messy, so he cleaned it up before coming to see me? Well, as long as he can come, I am still very relieved.
"Since you've apologized sincerely, I will show my mercy and forgive you!" I calmed my expression, trying not to laugh out loud, then grabbed An Lengxi's arm, "Let's go!"
"Close your eyes."
This sentence made me feel very strange. What did he want to do? Was he afraid that I would know where his home was? Or did he want to use some special ability to take me to his home like in the TV series?
"Are you going up or down? So I can be mentally prepared." I pointed upwards, then pointed to the ground, and asked An Lengxi.
An Lengxi couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and poked me hard on the forehead, saying: "Your brain is really quick, you really need to move on."
I closed my eyes obediently, and felt as if my body was suddenly weightless. Fortunately, there was someone I could rely on, so I wasn't very scared. I think maybe the scene I saw after opening my eyes would be scary...
After a few seconds, there seemed to be a foothold on the soles of my feet, so I opened my eyes.
Everything in front of me was a little different from what I imagined. The lights were bright, blue and red flames were placed alternately on the roadside, and in front of us was a very beautiful villa. Although the light was a little dim, the scene in front of me was still very clear.
I tilted my head and squinted my eyes.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" An Lengxi looked at me and asked.
I shook my head, then sighed and said, "It's nothing like what I imagined. It doesn't have the atmosphere of a haunted house." I looked up at the dark sky. If there were no stars, I would have thought this was land!
"Haunted house? Do you want to go?" An Lengxi asked softly in my ear, as if a cold wind was blowing on my back.
Of course I know that the haunted house he is talking about is very different from the haunted house I understand.
I couldn't help but feel a little scared, and always felt that something would suddenly appear, so I grabbed An Lengxi's hand.
"This is not hell. It doesn't have what you think." An Lengxi comforted me, then pulled me in. It was still very dark inside, with only a row of lanterns illuminating the entire room.
The decoration of the living room is relatively simple, and there are not many pieces of furniture. I thought An Lengxi would live in a place surrounded by graves. It's almost the same as where I live!
Huh? Why do you sound like I'm disappointed...
I tossed and turned last night and couldn't sleep, thinking about this and that, and now I realize that I was overthinking.
I sat on the chair, and An Lengxi brought two plates and placed them on the table in front of me, saying, "I prepared some fruit salad and cake. Have you had lunch yet?"
"Do people in hell also need to eat?" I asked curiously, looking at the things on the table.
An Lengxi glared at me and I immediately shut my mouth. I was just curious!
"You are not an ordinary person now, are you?" An Lengxi walked over to me and sat down, looking at me quietly, and asked suddenly, "Do you care?"
"What do you mean?" I asked casually, picking up the cake and taking a bite.
Then I saw An Lengxi's expression and realized how seriously he was asking me this question, so I thought about it seriously, raised my head to meet his gaze, and said, "As you said, I am not an ordinary person now. Since we are not ordinary people, we can at least be considered the same kind of people."
"Your perspective is really unique, so you still want to date me now, right?"
"Of course!" I was a little excited and grabbed his arm.
"Okay, is there anything you want to know?"
“Is hell scary?”
"certainly……"
"There's a lot of fire, all over the ground?"
"almost……"
“Is it red?”
"Mostly, but there are blue fires too."
"Then is your hair like this because of the fire of hell?" I finally asked the question I had always wanted to ask.
An Lengxi frowned, his eyes looking extremely terrifying.
I stuck out my tongue.
Because his hair color was too bright and it didn't seem like it could be dyed with ordinary hair dye, I asked out of curiosity.
"Is this what you want to ask? Isn't the thing you care about too weird?" An Lengxi suddenly raised his voice, looking helpless.
Although I asked many questions in succession, they were obviously all paving the way for the last question.
"You were the one who asked me to ask..." I pouted innocently to express my protest.
An Lengxi surrendered and responded to me in a calm tone like a lake: "This is hereditary..."
So, his father and grandfather both have red hair? But I think I better not ask, I'm afraid An Lengxi will kill me with his eyes.
"Aren't you afraid at all? Someone almost took your heart away yesterday..." An Lengxi said this with some worry. I could see the tenderness in his eyes and also realized his care for me.
I shook my head and said, "Because you promised to protect me." Then I looked at him and asked solemnly, "An Lengxi, do you really not like me at all?"
Maybe it's just narcissism, but I always feel that his feelings for me are not that simple.
An Lengxi's expression froze for a moment. When he came to his senses, he looked hesitant. I think I already know the answer. Sometimes it's not good to make things clear.
"It's okay, you don't have to force yourself to answer me. There are still more than two months left, An Lengxi, can you stay with me?"
I looked at him and a feeling of bitterness welled up in my heart, so my expression didn't look so natural.
"Sometimes I really don't know what kind of mentality I should have when facing you." An Lengxi sneered. Although I was not afraid of him, this smile made me feel uncomfortable.
An Lengxi, do you know? If your answer is yes, I am willing to stay with you even if it means hell. But if you don't like me, what's the point of me staying by your side? It will only make you hate me, so I would rather... would rather go on like this, even if you don't like me, but I like you enough, sometimes the result is not the most important.
"An Lengxi..."
The moment An Lengxi turned around, I stood up and held his handsome face. My movement was so big that the air around us moved slightly and my hair fluttered in the wind.
He didn't blink until my lips touched his soft lips, but looked at me straight.
After letting him go, I stuck out my tongue, made a face, and said, "The sneak attack was successful!"
An Lengxi put his cool hand into my hair, and put his other hand around my waist, suddenly exerting force. I leaned on his chest, feeling very warm, and wanted to rely on him.
This feeling is also very comfortable and relaxing. Yes... I really want to sleep...
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself lying on the big bed at home. Was everything just a dream?
"What are you thinking about?" The voice came so suddenly that I was startled.
I looked at An Lengxi sitting on the chair and couldn't help but widen my eyes. Then I looked at the sky outside and it seemed to be night. I should not be dreaming.
"How did you get me back?"
He probably doesn't have the key to my front door.
An Lengxi pointed at the balcony behind him and smiled triumphantly. At this moment, silence was better than words...
"Yingning, are you home?" Mother's voice came from downstairs.
I immediately responded, “Yes!”
At this time, An Lengxi stood up and walked to the balcony, looked back and smiled, and said: "I'm leaving first, see you at school."
Oh, what was I thinking? It was a rare opportunity for me to be alone with him, but I actually fell asleep. This is unforgivable!
