deep in time

Chapter 14 (2)
Cheng Lichen's room is a bit like a forbidden place in this magnificent palace, no matter Cheng Lichen always looks like "no strangers come near", or he locked the door when the part-time worker came to clean, or even used it a long time ago. Said to Song Lanlan in a mocking tone, "Please respect my privacy"... In short, although no one warned Baili, once he moved in, Baili deliberately remembered not to disturb Cheng Lichen.

In my imagination, Cheng Lichen's room was like a lifeless deep sea, but now the girl stood at the door and looked at it, "clean and tidy" was the first impression after she realized it.

On the right side of the entrance is an open bathroom, and the angel hanging lights are warm and quiet.

The white bath towels were folded squarely.

Further inside, there are boys' desks and computer desks. Three rows of bookshelves with geometric patterns are full of books, but they are not cluttered.The computer chair was neatly leaning against the wall, and next to it was the boy's big bed, covered with brown striped sheets.

"Cleaner than my own room."

—— Baili was a little surprised.

The phone rang from the other side covered by the bed.

Baili walked over gently, a white cashmere rug was laid beside the bed, and a silver-gray mobile phone was resting on it.

The empty room, Cheng Lichen was not there.

For some reason, Baili breathed a sigh of relief, maybe subconsciously she didn't want Cheng Lichen in the room.

In this case, then I won't be embarrassed if I eat first, the girl walked out slowly.

At this moment, behind the four glass doors, on the terrace covered by curtains, there was a loud and loud sound of a heavy object falling. "Puff" - it seems to hear the sound of liquid spraying out.

Baili hesitated for a moment, then walked over and opened the curtains.

The distant sky is burning with gorgeous sunset glow, and several jasmine flowers are planted on the terrace.

The rattan hanging chair was swinging back and forth, and Cheng Lichen was sitting on the rattan chair. In a corner farther away, a beer can seemed to be thrown over vigorously. Tawny liquid.Under the boy's feet, several identical beer cans were scattered randomly.

Baili frowned, opened the glass door, and accidentally touched an empty jar, which rolled away with a gurgle.

Cheng Lichen's eyes seemed to be unfocused, with a mocking smile on his lips, he looked straight at Baili, but he didn't seem to be able to see Baili.

"Have you been drinking?" The girl stood one meter away from the rattan chair and asked hesitantly, "Drunk?"

"Hehe." Cheng Lichen laughed softly, and there was a strange sense of solemnity in the gradually darkening night.

The girl standing on the terrace never expected that Cheng Lichen would suddenly take off his school uniform jacket, take off his white T-shirt, and say loudly to Baili: "I'm not drunk."

He looked like a standard drunk.

Baili didn't know if he should leave the room immediately and let Cheng Lichen play drunk.However, this idea just popped up, Cheng Lichen had already stood up from the rattan chair, pointing his slender fingers at the position of his heart, said coldly, with a trace of pity and anger: "My place... hurts... "

"Heartache?" Baili took over the topic subconsciously.

The boy's eyes were as bright as two lanterns, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes, it hurts."

Cheng Lichen's tongue was tied, and he nodded vigorously, with a look of unwillingness.

The happiness or pain shown by a drunk person is always extreme, without a mask and naked.

Baili stretched out his hand, wondering if he should go up to support the wobbly boy.

However, in the next second, Cheng Lichen suddenly walked towards her.

"Be careful with the beer cans."——Before this reminder came out, the boy's foot had already stepped on the first can, only to hear a light "poof", and the other foot stepped on the second can, The body that lost its balance rushed towards Baili due to a surge of inertia.

Baili reached out to help reflexively.

The heat of the boy's naked skin was magnified a thousand times and covered Baili's palm.

The boy was a full head taller than her. At this time, the two of them were facing each other, separated by a thin summer shirt, which seemed to be against the boy's chest, and a violent heartbeat could be heard in their ears, but in the next second, Baili suddenly realized , It turned out that the heartbeat like a drum came from his chest.

The shyness in the girl's nature emerged, and she pushed hard with her hands on the boy's waistline, but the boy's weight was not light, like a hill, he threw himself on her even harder, forcing her to retreat several steps.Behind him is the open glass door, and then there is the boy's big bed, stepping on the fluffy carpet with bare feet, within a few breaths, the girl was pushed by a strong force and fell on her back on the bed, while Cheng Lichen Leaning ambiguously on her body.

There was a popular Japanese drama N years ago, the name is probably called "Fall in Love at First Kiss", a clumsy girl fell on the stairs and bumped into a genius boy, her lips touched together, and a Cinderella story began.

When Baili was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was also obsessed with this kind of plot, imagining that one day he might meet a certain prince by chance in a certain place on campus, but only two years have passed, and he was fifteen or sixteen years old. She dismissed it like an adult: "It's all acting, fake."

However, the current situation is...

When he fell down, the boy's eyes suddenly moved to a position parallel to his own, and at this moment Baili's lips touched the softer lips of the boy who smelled of alcohol.

"Bastard!" "Pervert!" "Could it be to use alcohol to boost your courage!"... Many thoughts came to me at once, and the girl's whole body was stiff, as if frozen, and the voice in her throat was hoarse and stiff: "Get out of here!" ah!"

There was no response, and Cheng Lichen's eyes were closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Drink, get drunk, get drunk, fall asleep.

Is this the Drunken Quartet?

The boy appeared to be asleep.After Baili realized it, she immediately turned her face to avoid the boy's soft lips.She gradually exerted force on her hands, but she still couldn't push the boy away, so she pinched the boy's waistline with both hands, exerted great force, even bent her feet to support Cheng Lichen's lower body, gritted her teeth and exerted strength, this time But it was very easy, Cheng Lichen was immediately pushed away like a gourd, lying on his back on the bed, a gust of fresh air rushed into Baili's chest.

Baili immediately jumped up, took a few steps back with lingering fear, stood in a daze for a while, frowned, picked up a sheet and covered the boy's body.Then she closed the glass door and drew the curtains, and the room suddenly became dark.Baili had already taken a few steps outside, but turned back, stood beside the bed and looked at Cheng Lichen who was soundly sleeping, and kicked Cheng Lichen's calf viciously.

——The temperature in the palm of your hand still hasn't dropped.

——The boy fell asleep with his eyes closed and looked extremely quiet.

Baili covered his hot cheeks, suddenly thought of something, screamed, and ran out.

On the big soft bed, the boy's closed eyes opened a small gap - he just pretended to be asleep - but if he didn't pretend to be asleep, wouldn't the scene just now be very, very embarrassing, even though he still kept his consciousness Little by little, he was awake, but his body was already out of control. He was clearly ordering himself to quickly move his body away from the girl's body, but his hands and feet were declaring that he was powerless.

There was still a girl's warm breath on the corner of her lips.

The smell of alcohol welled up, and the boy's last sober consciousness gradually became blurred.

[Four]
I woke up in the middle of the night with a headache that felt like it was going to burst, my mouth was very thirsty, and my chest was tight and tight.The city lights cannot see through the heavy curtains, but there is a glimmer of light between the loose curtains.

The boy opened his eyes and stared straight at the ceiling.

In the alley that I have probably forgotten, where the sun does not shine, it is damp and gloomy, and the corners of the walls that will never be whitened are covered with moss. As far as the eye can see, everything seems to be covered with a layer of gray and bleak.

mom.

A middle-aged vegetable seller with a surly expression and harsh words.

The thoughts in the brain stagnated as soon as they turned here, feeling that the mind was like a huge mushroom cloud after the atomic bomb exploded, full of choking smoke, Cheng Lichen pulled the sheet to cover his face, The whole person let out hurt whimpers in the darkness.

No words can describe the pain, it will not stretch out its hand before it comes, and say "Hi" to you in a friendly or even hypocritical way, but you have to passively watch it like a ball of air, slowly It slips in slowly, finds a comfortable place in your body to live in, and waits for it to pop up from time to time in the future to remind you of its existence.

Mouth is very thirsty.

The head hurts, like a hammer piercing into the flesh and blood.

His hands and feet were very stiff, as if out of his control.

Consciousness is lost.

There must be some reason unknown to me that made the mother in my memory a stranger.Is it that poverty wears away the will, or does life lack faith?If it wasn't for me not looking for her for so many years, if it wasn't for me not being by her side for so many years, then I would at least know what happened to my mother in the past few years.

The boy exhaled forcefully the stale air in his chest, turned his head, and closed his eyes.The night light of the city faintly seeped through the curtains, hitting the boy's face trying to calm down.

"No matter what, I still have to keep working hard." - A sentence that I didn't know which book I read before, suddenly came to my mind at this moment.

After being pricked by a needle, the fingers will retract reflexively.

When it is burned, the body will be quicker than the mind to perceive it.

In the same way, when encountering hurt and pain, all people will shrink back to their own space.

"keep it up."

"Come on."

This sounds like shallow and decadent self-consolation.

[Fives]
The next day, the boy woke up to the sound of knocking on the door, and he also woke up with the feeling of his stomach being overwhelmed.

"Cheng Lichen—" Baili's crisp voice came through the door, "It's time to get up."

You have heard such a sentence many times, right? It is a very common sentence in your life like "Have you eaten yet" or "I'm home".

When he was five years old, he began to sleep alone.But in winter, the cold little bed in the dark bedroom seems to never be as warm as the big bed in the mother's room. After brushing our teeth together and saying "good night" to my mother, I secretly stood behind the door of my mother's room and waited. , ears pricked up, excitedly listening to my mother spread the quilt, take off her shoes, get into the bed, and immediately ran over, before her mother asked "what's the matter", kicked off the shoes all at once, like a loach The same immediately got to my mother's side, showing a smug smile.Usually at this time, the mother will pretend to be angry and hug herself back to her crib.But sometimes, she would be defeated when she coquettishly said, "Oh, Dad didn't come back anyway, you are wasting a big bed by yourself".Sometimes I would sniff my nose miserably and say, "I kicked the quilt last night, maybe I was frozen." Such sympathetic words, in short, I can sleep with my mother, regardless of "Aren't you ashamed when you are so old?" Not a big brat" or something like that.

Occasionally, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I open my eyes a little and see my mother sleeping on the left side, and I feel very relieved and fall asleep again.
