65

Returning to their original apartment after several months, Yaxiao had the feeling of having lived in a different world the moment she opened the door.

Everything was just as they had left it; the table and chairs were covered in a layer of dust, and the newspapers from that day were scattered on the coffee table. The pink rose in the white porcelain bottle on the dining table had long since dried up, and the crumpled petals fell onto the tabletop, crushing into pieces as soon as they were crushed by a finger. The windows and doors were left open when they left, and with the wind and rain over the past few months, the floor near the floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony had several layers of dust mixed with water stains imprinted on it in clumps.

She slowly sat down on the edge of the bed in the master bedroom, the soft, fine grain of the fabric under her palm. Pieces of clothing were still visible in the bedroom, the blood on them long ago the color of brown rust, and even the crystal ashtray she’d smashed him with was still in its place, weighing down the handful of carpet to make a deep depression. Perhaps it was genuine exhaustion, and as she lowered herself onto the bed, which still smelled of damp mold, the feeling of sinking deep into it was surprisingly reassuring, the dust settling in general.

“Tired?” He lay down next to her side.

She closed her eyes and moved over, hiding from his scent. Her head lifted slightly and just nestled into the crook of his arm, “It was like a dream, never woke up.” This year or so felt like half a lifetime to her, or half a lifetime of turmoil. To this day she was still a little giddy, as if she was floating in the air like a kite that she couldn’t retrieve.

He turned on his side, pocketing her into his arms to encircle her completely, then lowered his head and began to nibble lightly on the shell of her ear. The slightly cold arc of that ear slowly became warm and then hot between his lips. She scrunched her neck to avoid his kisses, but a thin, milky cat-like murmur escaped her throat involuntarily, tinged with pleasure and delight.

“Awake now?” He caged himself above her, his eyes sparkling with color like a child who had gotten away with his mischief, “Let’s do something when we’re awake.” With that he ambled lower again and buried his hands around her upper body to tease. She giggled and swung from side to side like a fish being choked. When she moved more, he looked up and said in a serious voice, “No moving.”

She bit his finger and said vaguely that she’d be damned if she’d listen to you. The words did not fall was his other hand into the armpit, that is her most afraid of the itch, as long as gently scratching her will shrink and hairballs in general. Every time she was angry or upset with him, this man would come up to scratch her with an ulterior motive, as if after making her cry and laugh, the matter would be over. In fact, although this trick is a bit shameless, but it is really effective. She was very annoyed because she heard the old people say that the least ticklish of the couple is the one in charge. She tried, Shan Yan Xiu this guy’s itchy nerves are like broken, no matter if it’s the armpits or the soles of his feet, the flesh of his waist or the roots of his legs, he doesn’t feel it at all ah don’t feel it.

Could it be that she is the life of his gram? She thought glumly, when coldly his fingers slid over her back, bringing a shiver of over-electricity.

“Concentrate,” his voice came from below, becoming barely audible through the peaks and troughs, “Radishes grown without concentration don’t grow much.”

She was so embarrassed by him that for a moment she couldn’t think of anything to say to refute him, so she broke into a muttered “rascal” and was silent again.

Slowly, the two people’s breathing became heavy, a sound stacked on top of each other seems to be about to shake. Her fingers fell into his hair, imprisoning him tightly. For her this man was definitely a humongous and powerful presence, he had always dominated their sensual world, especially at times like this when he was going to take absolute initiative and dominance, maybe it was out of his character or maybe it was just the swell of his machismo. But for her, enjoy the ultimate sensual experience he gave although the end will be exhausted, but the whole process is anhydrous drenching pain.

Human beings are animals of pleasure and lust, and the pursuit of the ultimate in pleasure was never out of the question, so sinking was inevitable. Just when her slender fingers slowly slid from his hair to the junction of the back of his neck, she felt his body could not be restrained from trembling. She narrowed her eyes and, with slight malice, slowly swirled her fingertips around the spot, provoking him to nibble with a vengeance.

She grunted uncontrollably, “Stop it ……” as her body was half lifted and shackled to his chest, his breath taking on a burn and urgency, and his movements taking on a slight rudeness. When she was once again pounced on the bed, the bed sheet because of the weight of the two people steeply pressed down and raised a layer of thin dust, she was quite dissatisfied with the mumble that the ash is very big, do not change the bed sheet first. He didn’t even bother to answer her, hands and feet of the two people’s clothes are stripped to seven or eight drops, soldiers in the city, fighting spirit is high, just want to attack the city is not happy.

But, the old ancestors said, life is not as good as nine out of ten, all seemingly good things always cup in the last moment. The last moment ah, that against the death of the last moment was interrupted by the sharp and sudden door bell.

The man’s eyes instantly red, regardless of three seven ready to attack to the end. The woman was like being caught in the act of adultery, a carp rolled out from underneath him, panicked and scrambled around grabbing clothes. The most annoying thing is that while grabbing also yelled, “Damn and come to check the temporary population, hurry up, the last time to do that card first out to fool them a little?”

When she twisted and turned to put on her clothes, raised her eyes to see the man with a dark face before she reacted, suddenly embarrassed, “I …… this …… this is not a conditioned reflex… …”

The corners of the man’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and that expression couldn’t be to swallow her alive. But looking at her snappy look swallowing her alive was too much to give up. So he held back a bellyful of anger, and moved rather hotly to get dressed and bang on the door.

Afraid that he was in a bad mood and would take it out on others, she also followed him out to see what was going on. She was also quite curious as to who would be visiting on their first day back.

A huge fruit basket and the sound of arguing pushed through the door at the same time.

“I told you they’d be home by this time, and lo and behold, the door opened!”

“Idiots, picking this time of day.”

“What’s wrong with this time? It’s not like it’s the point of eating and sleeping.”

“It’s not your time to eat and sleep, but it could be someone else’s time to eat and sleep.”

What a sibling who likes to carry on their shoulders, they can quarrel everywhere, this relationship must be too good to be true. Ya Xiao sighing at the same time also feel that in the last sentence of the well Yan seems to especially aggravate the sound of eating and sleeping, listen to feel ambiguous.

Indeed …… it really was said by him.

Ya Xiao stole a glance at Shan Yanxiu, whose face was so cloudy that it was dripping water, and hurriedly snorted to welcome the person in. She was very grateful to this pair of siblings, the elder sister had generously provided them with shelter in their most difficult time, and the younger brother had helped them in their most dangerous time. If it wasn’t for them, she and Shan Yanxiu wouldn’t have gotten this far – she couldn’t imagine where he would have been taken and what would have become of him at that time if she had actually listened to him and left to find Jingyue.

When she was in the kitchen peeling fruits to express her gratitude to Monsoon, Monsoon was completely unimpressed, “Ahem, what’s the point, that house is still empty. Besides, I’ve eaten many of your meals for nothing, it’s only right.”

She smiled, “Then tomorrow I’ll buy more things and go to your house to make a delicious meal for you, as an expression of gratitude.”

Monsoon waved her hand, her tone rather heavy, “Alas, another day. Recently, recently, my house has been a bit unsettled.” Monsoon was easy-going in nature, always adhering to the view of getting by with many things. Such a person to say something good is confused big grin, to say bad is no brain. But this way of living, is indeed very little trouble. So when Monsoon’s tone sank, saying that the family was not peaceful, she was inevitably a little curious, “What’s wrong with your family?”

Monsoon’s face slightly reddened, looking at her with an expression of desire to speak. It was obvious that she was eager to pour out something, but it seemed like she had a lot of concerns, her lips biting and biting. Apples were peeled one after another, cantaloupe was also cut into fine dices, but until the end of the monsoon stammered and did not say a clear answer. Ya Xiao patted her hand reassuringly, “Come on, I’m always willing to listen to you when you want to talk.”

Monsoon reluctantly smiled, “Cough, it’s not that I don’t want to say, it’s just …… it’s just that this thing …… tsk …… how, how to say it all, it’s all a bit humiliating! …… I, I think that I, this person, although …… although lewd a little, but, but not yet shameless. But, but lately I am like being possessed, net doing something messy.” She looked around, that nervous and frightened expression was as if there were small ears growing on the wall eavesdropping, “Ya Xiao, I, I’m afraid, I’m afraid that I’ve hit an evil spirit. And then, or else there’s something dirty in my house!”

“How could that be, haha, how could such a thing be possible.” Ya Xiao wasn’t an atheist, she was also quite afraid of that kind of gods and strange things, but in order to appease Monsoon, she had to act as if nothing had happened, “This house is so clean, it’s just like it’s been washed in water.”

Monsoon’s face turned red, constipated as if she held her tongue for half a day before popping out a sentence, “No, I think if it’s not something dirty in the house, then it must be that I’ve hit an evil spirit. Ya Xiao, you, can you take the time to accompany me to the temple to worship for a talisman or invite an open bodhisattva to the house to suppress the evil. This, this is too evil.”

Ya Xiao’s curiosity was immediately aroused, “What evil thing? How evil! Tell me!”

Monsoon gulped like there was a big bone stuck in his throat, “It’s just, it’s just that I always feel like something is looking at me, like when I eat, when I read, when I do yoga, I have this feeling. And lately, I’ve been losing things, just little bits and pieces of me. It’s just me and the hairy kid at home, and he’s not a G guy, so he couldn’t have taken it, could he? Also, there’s ah, there’s the most terrible …… me, I really suspect it’s something dirty …… in my house,” Monsoon’s expression looks like he’s about to cry out, “and it’s a very colorful dirty thing.”

“In the end what is it?” Looking at the expression on Monsoon’s face, Ya Xiao also got nervous.

Monsoon gulped several times, his eyes were rolling in his sockets, “I, I don’t have many friends, I just dare to talk to you. You have to help me, tomorrow go with me to invite an enlightened Bodhisattva back to quell the evil spirits, I, I really can’t support myself anymore.”

Ya Xiao was about to be tickled to death by curiosity, “What exactly is it?”

Monsoon’s face was bitter as he approached her ear and whispered a few words. Ya Xiao fiercely sucked in a cold breath, her eyes jawed wide and her voice changed, “Really?!”

Monsoon nodded vigorously.

Ya Xiao looked at her, then at the living room, still with a changed voice, “Really?”

Monsoon nods as if she were dying, “Really, it’s been weeks.” She forked her hands into her hair and raked it out, then pushed up her sleeves and pulled down her collar, “Look at me, I haven’t slept well for a long time, my hair is falling out by the handful, if I go on like this I’ll turn bald, my skin will have allergic ulcers, and I’ll have a nervous breakdown and get a nervous disease. This is also too evil, is now the dirty things are so unethical, how and vulgar people like to bully the old girl?”

Ya Xiao raw was choked by saliva, she would like to tell the monsoon she is not actually hit the evil, not to mention that there are dirty things in the house, she is only in her sleep by ill-intentioned people in a very pure way to the finger. And at this moment, that ill-intentioned person’s burning gaze was being projected from the living room, pinning her back like a needle with warning and intimidation.

This was also a sibling?

Ya Xiao pressed down the leaping heart of gossip, maliciously placating Ji Feng, saying that tomorrow he would accompany her to go to the Buddha to seek talismans to invite the Bodhisattva of light to calm the house. Monsoon touched by the internal cow full of face, can vigorously hold her small paw for a long time do not let go. Shan Yanxiu stood at the side, his face black as the bottom of a burnt pot.

“Let’s go, why are you dragging your feet.” Jing Yan stood in the doorway and roared, “I’m so hungry.”

“What are you yelling for, you’re starving to death!” Monsoon, who had a soft and scared face just now, was extremely fierce at this time, “If you’re hungry, find your own food, I’m not your family’s rice bucket!”

Ya Xiao held back her laughter and pinched Monsoon, “Okay, you can endure another night, we’ll get up early tomorrow and go to the temple, hmm.”

Monsoon’s eyes were clamoring, and his voice softened into a puddle of water, “Okay, I will definitely come early tomorrow, you, you have to wait for me.”

Ya Xiao is really in the heart, struggling with half bright and half dark point plucking, “Monsoon, you …… that, in fact, I think your home is not dirty. You look at your brother, looks like the yang gas is sufficiently hot, looks like a …… pure child …… male. This kind, this kind of put in the home has …… been very …… calming …… to the house.” She said so obvious, Monsoon should have some suspicion.

“No way!” Monsoon shook his head almost off, “on that thin baba boy still town house? He’s a cantaloupe! He is a big bucket of rice, every day in addition to looking for food to eat nothing will do. Cough …… I suspect that the dirty thing is he brought, is this kid came after so many messy things. But I can’t kick him out, can’t kick him out.”

Ya Xiao couldn’t bear to listen any longer, Monsoon was a kind idiot even if he was an idiot, man. She couldn’t unkindly aid and abet the enemy, “Monsoon ah, it’s actually you d-”

“Go away.” Jing Yan appeared behind Monsoon at some point, his voice sorrowful, “I’m going to starve to death the first one to come to you.” His words were spoken in Monsoon’s ear, but his eyes were glaring straight at Ya Xiao.

Shan Yanxiu also paced over, smiling faintly, “Also, it’s getting late.”

Monsoon took three steps and was pulled away by Jing Yan, and Ya Xiao sent and sent again in her heart’s desire, until a cold grunt came from the man behind her, and she turned back, “Ah Yan, you know it too, right?”

The man skimmed his head, “What do I know?”

“Wells Yan ah, what the hell is that kid? He and Monsoon aren’t siblings, right?”

“Not sure.” He looked at her askance, “You do care about him.”

She was powerless, “It’s not that I’m concerned about Jing Yan, I’m worried about Monsoon.” She lowered her voice, “Monsoon said she encountered something strange.”

“It always feels like there’s an evil wind around her, there’s a demonic eye behind her, things often go missing, and she has nightmares at night.” He said coolly.

“Except for the last one, the front is all hit.” She collapsed her shoulders, this man has long ears and a ghostly mind, 80% guessed it all, “It’s not nightmares, it’s X dreams.”

“So?”

“So tomorrow I’ll accompany her to the temple to worship and pray to the gods, and then invite the Bodhisattva back.” Personally, she felt that even inviting the eighteen luohan back would be useless. A teenager in the middle of puberty, that vigorous vitality can’t be blocked by any kind of deification.

“Do you think that would be useful?” He seemed to smile and not smile, eyes net is narrow.

“I think she may out of psychological effect, no longer will have strange dreams, but …… strawberries still grow as usual, right.” Red pink, chubby big strawberries ah, only nearly extinct old girls think that is bitten by a bug, right.

“Idiot.”

“Don’t talk about people like that.” Ya Xiao frowned, seeing how bad he looked, suddenly remembering their interruption, “Are you okay? People, is everything okay.”

He finally looked at her squarely, but his tone was still bad.

“People are fine, it’s just that the radish caught a cold and is a bit dehydrated.”
