Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Are you afraid that I will eat you?
For a moment, Gu Chen thought he was dreaming.
There was a fire outside the window. Although they were almost three meters apart, for some reason, Gu Chen seemed to be able to see every detail of Lu Xun's face clearly. Faintly, he seemed to see his own reflection in the other's smiling eyes.
Lu Xun's forearm holding the door frame tightened slightly, almost at the same time.
"No!!" Gu Chen shouted.
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you want me to jump?"
How could he want to!
Not to mention the problem of fire, jumping from a height of three meters, with no buffer below, what would happen is simply unimaginable.
Lu Xun's smile faded slightly: "Then do as I say."
A black shadow fell from the sky. Gu Chen subconsciously grabbed it and found that it was a drawstring bag, which was about the size of an adult's palm.
Gu Chen blinked twice and pulled out the drawstring. Inside was a silicone thing and a small plastic mouthpiece like the ones used to measure lung capacity in hospitals. Humans are born with the ability to use certain tools instinctively without knowing the principle.
Besides, Gu Chen is very smart.
He looked up at Lu Xun. The moment their eyes met, they saw a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.
Gu Chen unfolded the silicone that was compressed into a ball. It looked to be about half the size of Gu Chen. There was something like a vent on the side. Gu Chen pressed the end of the mouthpiece onto the vent, put it to his mouth and blew hard.
The flat silicone expanded at an astonishing speed. Two minutes later, it formed something like a circular trampoline.
There was a huge cartoon character in the middle of the "trampoline". It had purple hair, a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, and a not-so-friendly look. It looked very much like the cotton dolls sold in shopping malls outside.
"Hurry!" An urging voice came from above. Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it. He stepped on the "trampoline" and his calves suddenly tensed.
One,
two, three
! !
His fingertips touched Lu Xun's sweaty palm. Before Gu Chen could react, his whole arm was pulled and he fell into Lu Xun's arms.
The fervent flames rushed from the side. Lu Xun pressed Gu Chen's head to his chest, turned his body to the side, and quickly jumped off the window sill!
The cardboard box below had been burned to only a small half, and Lu Xun's toes touched it and left. At that moment, he had no time to stabilize his body. The heat came from the ground. Gu Chen felt that he was going to fall on his back, so he closed his eyes suddenly.
The pain he imagined did not come.
The soft collision accompanied by the sudden increase in strength at the waist offset all the cushioning for Gu Chen.
He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes and bumped into a pair of deep and firm eyes.
Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun lying under him, his face instantly pale, "How are you?!"
Lu Xun did not speak, staring at the panicked and anxious eyes of the boy on his body. The house behind him had been completely engulfed in flames. Under the blazing flames, Gu Chen's already beautiful face was even more stunningly beautiful.
Lu Xun suddenly felt thirsty, and he raised his head slightly. Gu Chen thought he was going to get up, and immediately wanted to get off him. Just as he raised his waist a little, Lu Xun pressed him back with even greater force.
The noses brushed against each other, and their hot breaths entangled together. Gu Chen's pupils contracted. At this distance, if he went down a little, or Lu Xun went up a little, they would...
The flames jumped, forming a natural white noise. Gu Chen looked at the handsome face under him, and his heart beat faster and faster under Lu Xun's unusual gaze. At this moment.
Swish -
a hole suddenly appeared in the wall of fire. Two firefighters were standing outside with high-pressure nozzles. They were slightly stunned when they saw the two people stacked together, and then they twisted their necks and shouted: "Captain!"
Gu Chen suddenly came back to his senses.
Firefighter: "There is a couple here!!"
Gu Chen: "???"
Ten minutes later, the fire was completely put out. The house had been burned beyond recognition, charred and dilapidated, and looked more like a haunted house than before.
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" The firefighter just scratched his head and smiled at Lu Xun, "Your classmate is so good-looking, and you guys were in that posture just now, so I thought..."
Lu Xun curled his lips and smiled, not like someone who had just escaped from the fire: "It's okay, we are often mistaken for a couple."
Gu Chen: "???"
Lu Xun didn't know if he was just frightened, he talked a lot more than usual, and was still talking to the firefighters, and the topic was basically around their posture just now. Gu Chen listened, his ears were hot, and he couldn't help but turn his head away.
The people around had already been evacuated, and there were only a few fire trucks and ambulances with lights on, and the halos of light were staggered across the ground.
Gu Chen looked around and didn't see Luo Xingyuan and Xu Lian. Just as he was about to ask, his peripheral vision suddenly crossed the cordon and caught a glimpse of a black shadow among the ruins of the house. Because of the angle and the light, he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but he always felt that the other person seemed to be looking at him.
Gu Chen was slightly stunned. Lu
Xun was still telling the firefighter that if Gu Chen was a girl, they would have been together a long time ago, and suddenly he noticed something unusual about the person next to him.
"What's wrong?"
"That..." Gu Chen was about to raise his hand, but found that the black shadow had disappeared.
Gu Chen:? ?
"Oh, by the way, classmate." The firefighter said a few words to his teammates who ran over, and then said to Gu Chen: "Your brother was injured and just went to the hospital with the ambulance."
Gu Chen's attention was diverted: "He was injured?!"
"Just a little skin injury." The firefighter smiled and sighed: "The child kept thinking about you before he got on the ambulance. Don't worry, he was hit a little when he jumped from the upstairs. Your mother was afraid of bacterial infection, so she sent him to the ambulance with other injured people."
Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly paused: "Did my mother go with you?"
The firefighter exclaimed: "She also left me her phone number and said to notify her if you have any news, I..."
"Zhang Cheng! Come here!" The captain called from a distance.
"Thank you so much for today." An inexplicable sourness spread from Gu Chen's heart, "I'll call her later."
The firefighter took care of it again, and saw that Lu Xun and Gu Chen did not seem to have any injuries, so he left with relief.
Gu Chen stood there in a daze. Luo Xingyuan was injured, so it was natural for Xu Lian to go to the hospital with him, but he was still trapped in the sea of fire at that time. But it was true that Xu Lian could not do anything here. After all, she had told the firefighters to contact her...
His mind was full of thoughts. His knuckles were suddenly pinched lightly.
Gu Chen came back to his senses.
Lu Xun: "Are you hungry?"
Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun's smiling eyes and shook his head lightly.
"There are crepes for sale in front." While Lu Xun was speaking, his hand moved up along Gu Chen's knuckles and slowly held his whole hand, "Do you want to eat?"
Gu Chen was slightly stunned, and then his whole body seemed to be electrocuted.
He belatedly remembered what Lu Xun had said just now while leaning on the window frame.
Boyfriend... crepes...
Gu Chen looked at Lu Xun's eyes which were faintly smiling.
He also saw the fan fiction in the forum!
Lu Xun: "Why don't you say anything?"
"...I'm not hungry." Gu Chen secretly calmed down and pretended to be calm, "Thank you for saving me today."
Lu Xun didn't say anything, still looking at Gu Chen with that kind of eyes that seemed to be drawn.
Gu Chen pursed his lips slightly: "Why are you here?"
"Come to play." "
..." Gu Chen, "Xingyuan told you."
Lu Xun received Gu Chen's vague, a little tense and a little scrutinizing eyes, and raised his lips slightly: "Why are you so nervous?"
Gu Chen: "I'm not..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Xun suddenly took his hand and pressed it against his face: "Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
The warm breath brushed against his face, which reminded Gu Chen of the scene when they were lying in the sea of fire, with their noses touching and their breaths intertwined.
His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Gu Chen subconsciously took two steps back. Lu
Xun wanted to force him again, but he held back.
He couldn't be impatient. The elementary school bully is thin-skinned.
"Your brother told me that you guys are coming to play today, and I haven't been here for a long time." Lu Xun explained patiently, "I thought it would be nice to run into you guys and play together."
This sounded a lot more normal.
But, he always felt that Lu Xun was very independent, and didn't seem like the type of person who would go out of his way to find classmates to play at the amusement park.
Suddenly, Gu Chen remembered what Lu Xun said at that time, that he had forgotten the memories between them.
What happened to them during that time...
Gu Chen suddenly felt a strong curiosity in his heart, accompanied by a secret uneasiness. He wanted to find out, but he always felt that now was not the right time.
"... Was that you in the store during the day?"
Lu Xun paused slightly, the corners of his lips raised again, and his voice lowered: "Your eyes are so sharp."
Even if he told himself not to be impatient, there was still an inevitable teasing in his voice.
Gu Chen's eyes drifted down instinctively: "Just saw it."
Lu Xun looked at the boy's eyelashes fluttering like butterflies in the moonlight, and his heart seemed to be scratched by a cat: "I wanted to call you at that time, Lu Ze... My dad called suddenly."
Lu Zeyu recently went to Lu Xun's mother Liu Han's family home in Hong Kong and found several paintings she drew before she got married. When Liu Han was alive, she was a well-known illustrator at home and abroad, and she held some exhibitions regularly. The exhibits were basically all drawn after she moved to Shanghai. There were almost no works from her teenage years.
And Lu Zeyu meant to hold a small-scale luxury private exhibition for Liu Han in Haicheng at the end of the month, and asked Lu Xun to help curate it.
"It's just right, if you can't get into the top ten in the grade, come back to Hong Kong with me after the exhibition."
Lu Xun didn't want to pay attention to him at first, but he was still shaken after seeing Liu Han's paintings. Because of the tight time, he had to spend the whole afternoon in the park coffee shop to do this. After finishing it, just as he was about to send a message to Luo Xingyuan, he heard that the haunted house was on fire.
"There are still some projects open." Lu Xun lowered his voice, and there was a vague, seductive request in his syllables, "Come with me to play?"
After what happened just now, Gu Chen originally didn't have much in the mood to play, but when he thought about Lu Xun coming from such a long distance and not having much fun for the whole afternoon, he felt a little reluctant.
"What do you want to play?"
"Carousel."
"..."
Gu Chen was about to refuse, but Lu Xun had already naturally taken his hand and prepared to leave.
The moment he turned around, Gu Chen's pupils suddenly shrank.
From the shoulder blade to the upper waist, the bloody wound was worn out by Lu Xun, and the remnants of clothes stained with red blood meandered down like a poisonous snake with a bloody mouth, piercing deeply into Gu Chen's eyes.
