He came from the bell tonight

Chapter 97 Extra Story 1: Winter in Snow City

Snow covered the streets of the city, masking all the high-tech and levitating sophistication.The snowplow robot circulates from the center of the road and passes the door of every household.

When it passed by a courtyard, it saw a cuboid-shaped similar robot, which seemed to be a housekeeping robot with a relatively low level and an old style.

That housekeeping robot was sitting on the ground making coffee, it must have been kicked out, what a shame——

But why did it drink up by itself?Still have a relaxed and contented look? !

... The movement of sweeping snow became even louder.

Su Ling was awakened by rustling sounds.

Those smoky purple eyes were extremely clear.

A pair of arms wrapped around him, as if afraid that he would run away, and took him into his arms.

Looking up a little, you can see the face that is still sleeping.Time did not leave too many traces on Xiao Huaiyan's face, but the innocence between his brows and eyes faded away, the cold and arrogant dominated, and the outline became deeper.

White fingers gently caressed his eyebrows, along the corners of his lips and jaw.

Yu Suling only had a short time, but it seemed that he had suffered a lot.

According to human time standards, it has been more than a month since they returned to Snow City from the distant Star Sea.Xiao Huaiyan behaved very "unfamiliar" to him - even though Su Ling knew that those eyes were on him all the time, he never crossed the boundary, and even kept a subtle distance all the time.

On the first night when he came back, facing the empty room, Su Ling felt cold and uncomfortable.He hugged the pillow and knocked on the door, Xiao Huaiyan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him for a long time, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

With his back facing him, Su Ling was sleeping on his side beside the bed, almost falling off when he rolled over.Xiao Huaiyan's arm hooked his waist, pulled him back a little, and then let go.

Su Ling heard the movement behind him, and asked naturally: "Aren't you sleeping?"

Xiao Huaiyan who came to the door paused for a while, then turned back and sat by the bed without saying a word.

After Su Ling realized it, he thought that maybe it meant not to sleep in the same bed with him.

But when they woke up in the morning, the two embraced each other again, as if they were intimate.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day... It has been like this for more than a month.

Until last night, perhaps because of too much sleep before, Su Ling didn't fall asleep for a long time.He closed his eyes, very awake.

After a while, he felt movement from the other side.

Xiao Huaiyan passed by him and opened the balcony door.He leaned against the half-open door, blocking most of the incoming snow wind.

Su Ling opened his eyes and saw him smoking.

It's the kind of smoke that has no smell, maybe it was specially picked.Snowflakes, mixed with soot, rustled down.

From time to time, he would glance sideways at the room, and after smoking one, he would close the door and come back to wash his hands, and lie down for a while.

Su Ling felt that he was watching him from behind, his breathing gradually became steady, and when he was about to fall asleep, he seemed to be suffocating, and then he would go to smoke a cigarette again.

All night.Maybe it was like this every night before.

When Xi Wei's light appeared in the snow mist, he would fall into a deep sleep, and then habitually hug Su Ling in his sleep.

Su Ling sighed softly, looking at the tiredness looming between his brows, he was at a loss for what to do.

He didn't know how to make him believe it.

Su Ling slowly moved closer and kissed the corner of his lips.There was still a faint mint smell left.

Xiao Huaiyan opened his eyes instantly.There was no sleepiness in those peach blossom eyes.

"You didn't fall asleep." The clear breath sprayed on the cheeks.

Su Ling's movements were almost soothing, and when he was about to kiss his eyes, Xiao Huaiyan took the initiative to distance himself from him, turned over and got out of bed, turned his back to him, and said sullenly: "It's okay."

There was still temperature on the sheets.

Su Ling sat there, quietly watching the shadow in the bathroom, the sound of water came from that direction, and it didn't stop for a long time.

There are guests today, and the doorbell keeps ringing.

When Su Ling went to open the door, the little girl who was coming was stunned: "... Where is Xiao Huaiyan?"

Then he suddenly reacted and screamed: "You——you are Suling?!!"

Xiao Huaiyan walked down the stairs for two steps, just in time to see Yan Yan throwing herself on Su Ling, raising her head to look left and right.

"...Is it true? Is it true!! Well, he didn't tell us, he kept it hidden! Bad guy! Cheapskate!"

Su Ling was a little helpless.He recognized Yanyan, she looked like her mother, but now she looked like a koala.

He thought about it and decided to touch her hair.

As soon as his fingers touched a strand of hair, the little koala on his body was pulled off by the collar.

Xiao Huaiyan stared coldly, stood between him and Yan Yan, and ordered: "Change your shoes."

Yan Yan made a grimace: "Cleanliness freak."

Xiao Huaiyan looked condescending: "What are you doing here?"

"My parents are both busy, and I'm bored," Yan Yan said bluntly, rolling his eyes, "Besides, I'm here to find Suling!"

For most of the next day, Yan Yan was longer in "Suling" than "Suling", and followed behind Suling like a little tail.

Su Ling played with her patiently, most of the time it was Yan Yan who was talking, and Su Ling would sometimes be dazed for a while.He felt that Xiao Huaiyan's gaze had been following him, whether in the distance or nearby.

Time passed so slowly that I could even remember every ray of light clearly.The snowflakes hit the window lattice and slowly accumulated a thin layer.

When he was building blocks with Yan Yan, Xiao Huaiyan brought two glasses of water.

"What is this!" Yanyan said with a bitter face, "It's so sour."

"Really?" Xiao Huaiyan asked suspiciously.

Su Ling took a sip, and the undissolved lemon juice covered his lips. It was indeed very sour.

He frowned slightly, and pushed the cup towards Xiao Huaiyan.

Xiao Huaiyan didn't answer it either, instead he held Su Ling's wrist and took a sip from the cup.There were water stains left by Su Ling along the edge of the glass, and Xiao Huaiyan's lips were pressed against each other just enough to cover it.

Not only Su Ling was stunned for a moment, but Yan Yan also widened his eyes.Doesn't he have a cleanliness freak? Not to mention drinking cups, slippers must be prepared separately.

"Why don't I feel sour." Xiao Huaiyan calmly took the cup from Su Ling's hand and went to change for a cup of warm water.

Yan Yan whispered, "He's so weird."

"Is it like this before?" Su Ling asked.

"Not at all, it seems to be much better than before."

He seemed to have opened up Yan Yan's chatterbox. He heard that Xiao Huaiyan had won many military badges for a while, and he heard that he had gone to many places for a while.

I have pieced things together and got a general idea of ​​what happened in the past 12 years.

He turned his head and saw Xiao Huaiyan's back leaning against the bar.The kettle broke and he went upstairs to fix it.

"Oh, it's almost time." Yan Yan placed the puzzle.

"My favorite sesame cake is about to open! Huh, there's a queue again. Why don't you come with me, and I'll treat you to eat!"

The snow outside became smaller, and the snow at the door was already deep. Milk Tea built a snowman exactly like herself at the door of the garage.

The small shop is not far away, but there are many people.Waited a long time to buy it.

Wait for Su Ling to come back with a bag of hot sesame crisps.Before he got close, he saw Xiao Huaiyan standing by the fence at the door, with a forbearance of despair.

I don't know how long I stood there, my hair, clothes and clothes were covered with thin snow.

Su Ling thought, he seemed to have forgotten to tell him before going out.

Su Ling stood in front of him, staring into those silent eyes, took a piece of sesame cake and handed it to his mouth.

"Yanyan was picked up by Sister Yimo." He thought for a while, and said in a calm voice, "It's delicious, do you want to try it?"

The freshly baked sesame crisps exude heat, are soft and crispy, and seem to melt when touched.

Xiao Huaiyan looked at him, his low-pitched eyes gradually split apart like a mirror, and a red outline was drawn out, revealing the grievance that had been accumulated for a long time.

He pulled Su Ling into his arms and hugged him tightly, breathing on the side of his neck, as if he was confirming whether the person in his arms was real.

"...It hurts." Su Ling couldn't help but said, looking down, he saw the shattered sesame cakes on the ground.

The arms holding him loosened a little.

The fireplace quietly lights up, and warm yellow spreads across the floor.

Su Ling sank into the soft sofa, drowsily, and bumped his finger against the terminal at the corner of the table.

The button terminal was not closed, and a video record popped up.

It was a news station that collected some precious images after the incident 12 years ago and made a commemorative video.Those shots are close and distant, and finally freeze in the burst of white light.

Su Ling let it play in a loop, and when he got up, his eyes moved to the bookcase by the wall.

There are several collections of poetry neatly placed there, which have not yet been opened.The golden pocket watch was pressed on top, glowing with a faint light.That may be the trace left by time.

"...Is the ending really different?"

When Su Ling turned his head, Xiao Huaiyan stood behind the sofa at some point, looking at him and the holographic screen.

He must have seen it countless times.

Su Ling put down his pocket watch, walked to the sofa, and heard him ask in an unclear tone: "Why?"

Su Ling's knees were pressed against the sofa, and his hands were on the back of Xiao Huaiyan's.He raised his head slightly and explained to him seriously: "The contract originally restricted me from entering and leaving the Star Sea. After the contract was terminated, it accepted me. I was conceived by the Star Sea, and no matter how long it takes, I will return there."

There are countless secrets hidden deep in the universe, and there are too many unexplainable opportunities.

But what Su Ling knows is——

"The universe gave me a second chance."

"Let me... go home."

He supported the edge of the back of the sofa, wanting to touch Xiao Huaiyan's face.

But he was easily grabbed by the wrist, and a hot kiss fell between the eyebrows.Then he continued lingeringly, stuffing what Su Ling wanted to say to his lips.

Xiao Huaiyan kissed him, like holding ice and snow in his arms, suppressing his wanton impulse.

Su Ling hooked his neck and responded slowly.

He was much taller than before, with broad shoulders and a broad back. When he bent over, he shrouded Su Ling in the shadow, full of oppression.

Su Ling restrained his unconscious vigilance, and let him hug him without letting go.

When he got upstairs, Xiao Huaiyan hesitated for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Su Ling caught him when he raised his hand.

Those peach blossom eyes were red, and the eyes were deep and dark, suppressing a fierce light, as if staring at a longing prey.

His voice was hoarse: "...I may not be able to control it."

"I will go too far."

"Yes." Su Ling said softly.

"You can go as far as you want."

……

Su Ling felt that this sleep was very long, and he didn't have any more dreams, and his whole body and mind were filled.is warm.

Only for several days did not get out of bed.

When the heavy snow stopped and the snow began to melt, it was indeed extremely excessive.

Fortunately, Xiao Huaiyan didn't wake up to smoke in the middle of the night.He slept very soundly, as if he had never had such a good dream, and in the depths of the dream, he would hug Su Ling tightly.

Like it was never lost.

The morning light danced between the fluffy hair tips, Su Ling felt itchy and rubbed his hair.

"You've grown up," he said softly.

Xiao Huaiyan seemed to wake up for a while when he opened his eyes, but he heard clearly.

"……Um?"

A sly smile flashed across his eyes.

"where?"

Su Ling's eyes were startled, and the refusal turned pink stained to the tips of his ears.The morning kisses grow long and intense, gradually changing in tone.

The weather is fine today, milk tea boiled pearls at the door, and carefully supervised the work of the public snow-sweeping robot.

... Strange, didn't you say you were going out?Today is the weekly cleaning, I didn't do it last week.

The housekeeping robot looked at the fallen curtains on the second floor and thought about his work arrangements.

The author has something to say:

Milk Tea: You feel comfortable, how about me? !
