Escape the Library

【Deep Starry Sky-08】

Yue Xingwen was awakened by a strange dream.

The spaceship's dormitory had no windows, and it was pitch black after turning off the lights. Yue Xingwen only felt that his clothes were soaked with sweat, and it was as hot as sleeping in a steamer.

Yue Xingwen looked at the bracelet from under the quilt, it was only 6 in the morning. Turning his head and seeing that Jiang Pingce was still sleeping on the next bed, breathing evenly, and seeing the other side's face through the light of the bracelet, Yue Xingwen suddenly felt guilty.

He was embarrassed to recall those indescribable fragments in the dream.

Yue Xingwen's whole face was so hot that it was about to burn, he quickly rolled over and got out of bed, touched the bathroom lightly, took a shower with cold water indiscriminately, and chased away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then turned to go out.

From 6:00 to 8:00 in the morning, Xin Yan and Ke Shaobin are on duty.

When Yue Xingwen came to the command room, Ke Shaobin was playing a game of minesweeper on his laptop, while Xin Yan sat in front of the command station and stared blankly at the navigation map.

Seeing him come in, the two raised their heads at the same time, showing a puzzled expression.

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and asked, "Xingwen, why are you up so early? It's only 6 o'clock."

Xin Yan said calmly, "What happened?"

Yue Xing Wen's ears turned red, and he pretended to be calm and said, "It's nothing, I had a nightmare and woke up."

Ke Shaobin asked curiously, "What kind of nightmare?"

Yue Xingwen: "..."

I dreamed that he and Jiang Pingce took a bath together, touched each other's bodies, and did a lot of ambiguous actions. If he told the truth, Ke Shaobin's eyes would probably fall out.

Yue Xingwen looked away and said casually, "I dreamed that I was eaten by a monster."

Ke Shaobin smiled and said, "I'm the opposite of you. After I fell asleep last night, I dreamed that I was eating monsters."

Xin Yan: "..."

Yue Xingwen walked to the console, glanced at the navigation map, and asked, "Is everything normal for the spacecraft?"

Xin Yan said: "Well, the spacecraft has been moving forward according to the previously set navigation route. It has only traveled 15% of the way, and it will take 6 days to arrive."

Seeing that the spacecraft was functioning normally, Yue Xingwen turned around and went out: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll find something to eat."

He ate a lot of vegetables and dried fruits yesterday, which were easier to digest, but at this time he just felt very hungry. Yue Xingwen didn't expect that as soon as he walked into the restaurant, he suddenly met a pair of familiar eyes.

——Jiang Pingce actually happened to come to the restaurant.

Seeing Xingwen, he asked in a low voice, "Why did you get up?"

Almost at the same time, Yue Xingwen also asked, "Why did you get up?"

Two people: "..."

The awkward silence lasted 3 seconds. Jiang Pingce raised his lips lightly and said, "I slept very lightly. I woke up when I heard that someone was washing in the bathroom. When I woke up, I found that you were not there, so I came out to have a look."

Yue Xingwen touched his nose: "I thought the movement was light enough, but I didn't expect it to wake you up."

"It's okay." Jiang Pingce looked suspiciously at Yue Xing Wenhong's red ears, and asked softly, "What's wrong? We don't need to be on duty today, so you get up so early?"

Yue Xingwen didn't dare to look into his eyes with a guilty conscience, so he lowered his head and said, "I was awakened by a nightmare."

Jiang Pingce asked, "Nightmare? What did you dream about?"

The blush on Yue Xingwen's ears quickly spread to his cheeks, and he whispered: "It's nothing, just some messy monsters, probably influenced by canned food with strange taste."

Jiang Pingce didn't ask any more questions. He went to the restaurant to open the freezer, and put some biscuits and milk on the table: "Since you're awake, let's have breakfast first. We'll change classes later when the other students wake up, okay? Let everyone eat."

Yue Xingwen gave a "hmm", sat at the dining table, devoured with his head down, and used food to relieve his embarrassment.

After eating two packs of biscuits in a row, Yue Xingwen calmed down and his face finally returned to normal. But he didn't know what to talk to Jiang Pingce, so he could only sit there silently, staring at the packaging bag of biscuits in a daze.

Jiang Pingce asked, "Why don't you speak today?"

Yue Xingwen said: "I don't know what to say."

Jiang Pingce chuckled: "It's extremely rare that you don't know what to say."

Yue Xingwen couldn't help but said, "Are you beating around the bush and thinking I talk too much?"

Jiang Pingce's voice was gentle: "It's good to talk a lot. At least, when you are there, you can always liven up the atmosphere."

Yue Xingwen thought to himself, as long as I am alone with you now, the atmosphere is really not active, and I always feel strange.

The two fell silent at the same time.

Usually, as long as Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce are together, there is always something to say, and others can't even interrupt. But today, the two are actually "relatively silent".

In the quiet restaurant, you could even hear each other's breathing, which made Yue Xingwen feel like she was on pins and needles. He thought about it for a long time, and just wanted to find a topic to break the silence, but he heard Jiang Pingce take the initiative to say: "I remember seeing your father once during the high school parent-teacher meeting. Does he have a good temper? He always smiles."

Yue Xingwen answered subconsciously, "Is it the parent meeting in the first semester of high school?"

Jiang Pingce nodded: "That's right."

Yue Xingwen remembered what happened back then, and couldn't help but smile: "I remember that parent meeting, you took the first place in the whole grade, and you were praised by the head teacher for a long time. My dad went back and said that Jiang Pingce in your class is really good. It's so difficult to get 100 points in the test. I told him that Jiang Pingce got 100 points in the test because there are only 100 points in the test, and if there are ten more questions, he can still get 200 points in the test."

Jiang Pingce: "..."

Yue Xingwen coughed and said, "I have been very naughty in the first half of my first year of high school. My dad always told me to let me study more with Jiang Pingce, who came first. He has a good impression of you."

Jiang Pingce raised his lips lightly: "On the contrary. After my mother held the parent-teacher meeting, she asked me to learn more from you. She said that Yue Xingwen is smart and cheerful, and she will definitely have a future in the future. many."

Yue Xingwen was a little embarrassed: "Your mother has praised me?"

Jiang Pingce said: "Well, I often praise you, saying that you not only have good grades, but also have a good personality."

At this moment, Ke Shaobin's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "It seems that the parents of both parties agree to your marriage! Anyway, you have already obtained the certificate at the Civil Affairs Bureau. When you go back, remember to arrange the wedding and send the wedding candy."

Yue Xingwen: "..."

Can he catch Ke Shaobin and beat him?

Although he knew that Ke Shaobin was joking, Yue Xingwen suddenly realized that they were very good people in the hearts of each other's parents, so parents would not have the idea of ​​"you ruined my son".

As the city's champion of arts and sciences that year, the two of them have always been equal, no one is strong or weak. If one day they come out to their family members and are determined to be together, the family members will not necessarily object because they have known each other for many years and are equally good...

Yue Xingwen's mind was in a mess.

For the first time he considered these realities. If he is a girl, or Jiang Pingce is a girl, the two of them will definitely get the blessings of all relatives and friends together. But they are all boys. In the eyes of many people, boys and boys are different. Moreover, domestic marriage law does not currently support same-sex marriage registration.

Yue Xingwen doesn't care about other people's eyes, but the parents' ideas still need to be carefully considered. Jiang Pingce is the person he cherishes most, which is also the fundamental reason why he dare not make a rash decision.

Ke Shaobin saw Yue Xingwen lowered his head in deep thought, and couldn't help but wonder: "Xingwen, I'm just joking. You're not angry, are you?"

Yue Xingwen regained his senses, smiled and said, "I'm not angry, I didn't hear what you said just now."

Ke Shaobin breathed a sigh of relief, took two packets of biscuits from the table, and said, "I'll get something to eat, you guys continue to chat, I'm back in the command room."

After he left, Jiang Pingce gently held Yue Xingwen's hand on the table, and said softly in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Xingwen, I know you are a very responsible person, consider The problem will be more comprehensive. I can assure you that my parents will not object to my decision. I already greeted them when I changed my voluntary application."

Yue Xingwen's heart trembled, and he wanted to retract his hand, but he held it tighter.

The body temperature that belongs to the other party is passed along the part where the fingers touch. It is warm and seems to have a kind of soothing power. The voice from the ear is low and gentle: "Last night, did you not dream of monsters?"

Yue Xingwen's ears turned red instantly, like an electric shock, and he quickly retracted his hand. Thinking of the ambiguous fragments in the dream, he could not wait to bury himself in a crack.

Jiang Pingce continued to say in his ear, "You kept calling my name last night."

Yue Xingwen: "…………"

What is a social death scene? Can you please stop talking?

Seeing Yue Xingwen's blushing appearance, Jiang Pingce's heart seemed to be lightly brushed by a feather, crisp and itchy. Such a young Yue Xingwen, isn't it the same as him when he was in love back then? However, when he was seventeen or eighteen years old, he already realized that he fell in love with Xingwen, and he often saw Xingwen in his dreams.

Xingwen's feelings came a little slower, but were equally pure and sincere.

Jiang Pingce put away the joke and did not continue the topic. Sometimes it's not necessary to speak too directly, it's enough to wake up the other party, Xingwen has already figured it out, he doesn't need to hurry to rush the result every day.

Jiang Pingce stood up and said, "It's still early. Since I didn't sleep well last night, I might as well go back to sleep and take a nap -- to raise enough energy to deal with the next emergencies."

Yue Xingwen thought about it right, so he got up and followed him and went back to the dormitory.

This time I slept soundly, and I didn't have any strange dreams. When he woke up, the classmates also got up, and everyone had a lively meal in the restaurant. Yue Xingwen was in good spirits, and he had a meal with everyone.

On the second day of the interstellar voyage, nothing happened, and it was too calm.

The spaceship traveled all the way in the vast universe, and the starry sky outside the window would be boring after a long time. Everyone spent the most boring day. Until it was dark, everyone changed shifts again.

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce rested last night, and tonight they chose the most difficult time period from 4 to 6 in the morning.

At 3:30 in the morning, Xiaotu, who set the alarm clock, woke them up on time. Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce quickly washed their faces and came to the command room on time to replace Zhuo Feng and Zhang Xiaonian.
