◎I like it so much◎
The lamp in the corridor started to get angry again.
No matter how loud Chen Jing'an said, she still stubbornly went on strike. She had no choice but to turn on the flashlight on her mobile phone to illuminate the narrow corridor.
The two of them walked in tandem, with her in front, reminding Shen Lie to be careful.
Arriving at the door, Chen Jing'an took out the key from his bag, opened the door with a familiarity, and turned on the light with a "pop" sound.
From the texture and brokenness of the tiles, as well as the old furniture, the smell of the old house comes from the paving. Orange warm lighting, the house is clean and decorated with several pots of green plants, it is simple and gives off the atmosphere of life.
Chen Jing'an lowered her body and took out men's slippers from the shoe cabinet: "This is the only pair. My dad wore it. It doesn't matter if you don't change it."
Her slippers were white plush rabbits.
Shen Lie changes.
"You can sit down wherever you like, I'll look for the medical kit." Chen Jing'an put down the keys and hung up her bag.
The fabric sofa is small in size and can accommodate a little more than two people.
He sat down and occupied most of it, with a glass coffee table in front of it, leaving a small space. His long legs looked cramped.
It was difficult for Shen Lie not to look at the furnishings of the room. There were not many things, and they were arranged in an orderly manner. There were two books stacked on the coffee table, related to history. It is not difficult to imagine how she lives every day.
Chen Jing'an found a medical kit, medical scissors, bandages, and constant medicine bottles. These were all prepared by Chen's mother, who was worried that she would live alone and that no one would be able to take her there in time if she got sick.
"How did it hurt?"
Chen Jing'an washed his hands, took scissors, and cut open the bandage on his palm. Because there was bleeding, he was careful when peeling it off, for fear of involving the wound.
Shen Lie lowered his eyes, and what he could see was the swirls in his black hair, half of his face, under the thick eyelashes, and the tip of his nose. She looked serious, and because she was too nervous, she involuntarily blew lightly, as if she could really hurt him. .
The bandage was cut open, revealing a sharp scratch on the palm of his hand. The wound had not yet scabbed, and bright red blood was still seeping out.
"It was cut by broken pieces of porcelain," he said.
Chen Jing'an frowned when she heard this, and did not ask how she could be injured by the broken porcelain. It seemed that the relationship between them should not be asked in such detail. She pushed the trash can, unscrewed the cap of the iodine bottle, and reminded before taking action. : "It may hurt a little, please bear with it."
He looked serious, just like setting off fireworks, telling him to throw them out early.
Shen Lie knew something was falling in his heart, and he hummed softly.
Three cotton swabs were dipped in iodine and slowly smeared on the entire palm. When the wound was about to be touched, the hand shook slightly.
It seemed that she was more nervous than herself.
Shen Lie watched, and for a moment, he took a breath.
"Does it hurt?" Chen Jing'an stopped and asked.
"Well, a little bit." Shen Lie responded.
Chen Jing'an looked ashamed: "Sorry, I'll be gentler."
"Okay."
The warm light in the room shone on her face, creating a soft halo.
After applying the medicine, the blood did not leak out anymore. Chen Jing'an took the gauze, started from the back of her hand and wrapped it around, and then tied a knot. She let go and said, "Okay, these days are the best." Don't move this hand until the wound scabs over.
"Okay, thank you."
Chen Jing'an tightened the lid of the medicine and put it back in the box.
The sofa was too small, and the distance between the two of them was too close. She could look into his eyes when she raised her eyes, just like her eyes downstairs, as if they were sticky and unable to escape. She tightened her grip on the medicine box. Thinking of the words that senior sister Zhong Xin said with determination, she raised her lips and asked.
Is it because of her?
"Would you believe it if I said it wasn't the case? If you believed it, you wouldn't ask me." Shen Lie answered without hiding it.
"It's useless to do this."
Shen Lie spread his hands, and with the bandage just tied, a muffled laugh escaped from his chest: "This is enough."
Chen Jing'an felt blocked, she felt uncomfortable, but she didn't know that she was What's so uncomfortable? It's obvious that everything went as she wished. It's obvious that she had thought of this ending from the beginning.
"It's really not that safe here. You should be more careful when you live alone. Remember to lock the doors and windows after I leave. When you go in and out, be careful to see if there is anyone following you." Shen Lie said quietly: "Don't go out too early, and don't come back too early. "It's late."
"Don't drink anymore. If someone tries to persuade you to drink, you must know how to refuse."
"..."
He warned in detail.
He had wanted to say these words for a long time, but he never had the chance.
Chen Jing'an tasted the sour taste and whispered yes.
"Go to bed early. I'm sorry for disturbing you tonight." Shen Lie went to get the coat on the sofa.
The cuffs of his shirt moved up a little. It was also at this time that Chen Jing'an saw the watch on his wrist clearly. She bought it as a gift for him. It was not worth any money and didn't cost her anything. He also said that he could take it with him casually. But it has been brought up to now.
Emotions are constantly fermenting, surging, and overflowing.
She was clearly not drunk tonight.
With mist in his eyes, Chen Jing'an stared at the watch blankly and murmured: "Why, there are so many watches, why do you bring this one?"
Ordinary ones can no longer be ordinary. Wearing them once may be fresh, and then wear them again. After that, it should be put away and gather dust until its hands stop beating. Perhaps when you dig it out many years later, you will be a little surprised when you see the old items again, and you can’t remember when you got them or how you got them.
Shen Lie lowered his head and saw the watch. He was a little stunned. He didn't even know when he started to carry this watch with him. He had been carrying this watch for so long that he didn't even realize that he was also carrying this watch tonight.
"I don't know."
"I haven't changed it since I brought it with me."
"Give it back to me." Chen Jing'an choked with sobs. "I gave it back to you as a gift."
It was childish and unreasonable. she knows.
She has never been like this. In the eyes of outsiders, she is always considerate, gentle and considerate, and seems to have no emotional ups and downs. But today, her sanity was gone. She came over to take off the watch.
Shen Lie easily held Chen Jing'an's hand with one hand, and the hot feeling in his palm was about to burn to the bottom of her heart through her skin. He asked her to stop being so domineering with a sighing and helpless tone, and his voice was passed to his ear. The eardrum vibrates.
Chen Jing'an didn't struggle. The wound on his hand had just been bandaged.
The two of them were like trapped animals.
Touching those eyes, the emotions in her chest easily overflowed. She asked with red eyes: "Why, Shen Lie, do you like her so much?"
Shen Lie stared at her: "Yeah."
"I like you so much."
Chen Jing'an was stunned . , her voice trembled slightly: "Shen Lie, I'm not that good, really, don't be like this, it shouldn't be like this."
She felt extremely uncomfortable at the moment, and she could remember the little things they had gotten along with before. She twisted her foot while dancing, and he temporarily Learn to rub her own feet; she throws away a high-heeled shoe and he carries her up from the river embankment; he suddenly appears on New Year's Eve... Sometimes he can be very mean and say nasty things to threaten himself, but no, he never does. He had fulfilled his promise, and she knew that he treated her very well and had always been very good to her.
But she couldn't be frank, and she didn't dare to fall in love too deeply, fearing that it would end up hurting her too much. She protected herself very well, and she had always done so since she was a child.
"You are very good, everything is fine." Shen Lie said hoarsely: "Does it make you feel uncomfortable to say that I like you now?"
"If so, I'm sorry, I'm really not good at lying."
"So, you Are you going to step back again? "
"..."
"I'm the one who's not liked. Why are you crying?" Shen Lie sighed with helplessness, like a child who pushed someone to the ground in an argument. There was no one on the ground. In response, the bully cried sadly.
Chen Jing'an was surprised to realize that she was crying.
It was hot, and it fell down one drop after another. Her face was soaked and she couldn't wipe it off. More tears kept coming. She never knew she could cry so much.
Never had.
She raised her hands to wipe her face, her palms were full of tears, but fear welled up in her heart. She didn't even know what she was afraid of. She could only wipe her face while stepping back until her heels touched the sofa. She stopped, and her vision blurred. , he walked towards himself.
Shen Lie wiped away her tears, his palms were wet, and he felt uncomfortable.
"Is it that uncomfortable?"
"I'm sorry."
Shen Lie's voice was very low.
Chen Jing'an pinched the corner of his clothes and kept shaking his head. Only when he spoke did he feel captured by his emotions and choked up with sobs: "Shen Lie."
"Yes, I'm here."
Still wiping her tears bit by bit.
That sound was like a gust of wind blowing in place, the sound was loud, many things were blown away in an instant, and the depression in the chest also poured out, all of which turned into uncontrollable sobs.
"Shen Lie."
"You haven't even chased me properly."
It seemed like an accusation or a murmur. Thousands of emotions were all turned into this sound.
