Chapter 425 The Confusion of the Dull Fool
When I woke up, it was almost dusk.
He Rui slowly opened his eyes and saw the golden sunset through the gap in the curtains. He felt a sense of loss for no reason, as if he had lost track of time and felt inexplicably melancholy.
"Brother Ji!" he called out subconsciously.
Just as he was about to get up to look for someone, he turned his neck 90 degrees and caught a glimpse of someone lying behind him, also lying on his side.
"Hmm?" The man's voice was lazy, as if he had just woken up. He stretched out his hand and naturally wrapped it around his waist, holding him in his arms.
Miraculously, the inexplicable anxiety that had arisen before disappeared completely at this moment.
He Rui felt a little nervous, but he was too shy to think about it.
The person behind him was pressed against him without any sense of distance. He Rui was so scared that he quickly turned his head back, his body stiff, staring at the window.
"How come you're back to your old self after a good night's sleep? What are you so nervous about?" Ji Changqing's voice was tinged with laughter, his eyes fixed on the beautiful neck of the person in his arms, which was gradually turning red. "Are you afraid that I'll do something naughty?"
The breath so close to him made He Rui's ears burn. He covered his cheeks and said stubbornly, "I'm not afraid. I'm not nervous!"
"oh?"
The rising smile in the voice behind him gave He Rui a bad feeling, and he suspected that what this guy was going to say next might be more serious.
He quickly changed the subject before the other person could speak, "I was sitting before I fell asleep, how come I was lying down when I woke up?"
After asking, I realized that I asked a nonsense question.
He Rui also knew that he must have been put there by Brother Ji.
The amazing thing is that he had been a light sleeper for more than 20 years and would be woken up by the slightest movement.
But for some reason, around this person, his instinct to be wary of the outside world was slowly degenerating, and it had become even worse recently.
It wasn't just once or twice, but many times, after he fell asleep, Brother Ji used his great moving technique to move him to the bed without him even noticing.
Thinking back to many mornings when I woke up, I woke up with my head resting on Ji Changqing's arm, or with my arms and legs draped over his body, in a relatively intimate sleeping position.
At first he didn't understand why his brother Ji allowed him to be annoying while sleeping and didn't push him aside even though he was awake.
It turns out that it was because I liked him that I didn't mind that he slept in a mess and was so close to me.
But since I like him, why didn’t I hug him when I woke up today?
He Rui was a little confused.
Judging from Brother Ji's previous enthusiastic attitude and the fact that they had talked it out, his brother should be closer to him.
But why is it the other way around?
I will hug him before he goes to sleep and after he wakes up.
I don’t hold you when you’re asleep.
Are you tired of hugging?
Let's be realistic. No matter how much you like someone, you can't hug them all night long. Will your arms get numb?
He Rui reached out and tugged at the arm that was wrapped around his waist. He rolled over under the arm and faced the man. "Do you really like me? If you do, why didn't you hug me when I was asleep?"
Ji Changqing was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses, moved his shoulders, and closed the distance.
So close that his forehead was touching He Rui's, and their breaths intertwined.
Staring longingly at the other person's exquisite face, Ji Changqing's heartbeat slowed down. He asked hoarsely, "Then guess why?"
He Rui thought seriously, "My head is filled with too much wisdom, it's a bit heavy, so it will numb your arm?
Or is it because my body temperature is high and it would be too hot to hold me while I sleep?"
But the problem is that his brother Ji has a variable frequency air conditioner, which can adjust the temperature of the whole body.
He was always in her arms when she woke up, but now she suddenly stopped. It didn't make sense no matter how he looked at it. He was really curious and couldn't understand the guy's train of thought.
Ji Changqing curled the corners of his lips, widened the distance, lowered his eyes, glanced downward, and openly saw the seductive white chest through the loose collar of the person in his arms.
After taking a few unscrupulous glances at the beautiful scenery, he withdrew his gaze and looked directly at the idiot in front of him who was clearly offended by his gaze but didn't realize anything was wrong.
Ji Changqing's eyes darkened, "Why didn't I hold you when you fell asleep? Because..."
Will react.
He was afraid that some fool would be taken advantage of without knowing it.
But now it seems that even if the idiot is awake, he is too stupid to notice anything.
"Why?" He Rui asked in a low voice. He felt that Brother Ji's gaze was increasingly burning and terrifying, making him feel uneasy.
Feeling a bit regretful for asking so many questions, he decisively changed the subject again, "Uh... time to get up. By the way, have you slept yet? If not, get some rest."
Ji Changqing selectively answered, "What do you want to eat? Go wash up first."
"It's all fine. Actually, I'm not that hungry." He Rui tried to get up, but found that the force around his waist had not loosened at all.
His brother Ji suddenly became very clingy. He told him to go wash up, but he held him tightly and refused to let go.
He Rui looked at the other person blankly, not knowing what to say.
After thinking for a moment, he returned to the previous topic, "By the way, did you sleep at all? It just so happens that I'm having a reversed day and night today, so I'm watching you. You should get a good rest tonight."
Ji Changqing pursed his lips slightly, frowned slightly, and said in a soft voice with a hint of grievance, "But I can't sleep."
"You have insomnia?" He Rui looked at Brother Ji showing weakness, a little dazed, "How about some sleeping pills? Do sleeping pills work for you?"
It is estimated that with his brother Ji's current physical strength, even if he is given an anesthetic injection strong enough to anesthetize an elephant, it may not be able to knock his brother down.
Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and said, "It's actually quite painful to not rest all the time."
After seeing the worry on the idiot's face as he wished, he slowly added, "If you could kiss me, maybe I could fall asleep."
"....." He Rui immediately put away his worries and looked at his brother Ji speechlessly.
.....
Night falls quickly.
A silver moon hangs high in the sky.
He Rui stood in front of the high-rise window of the hotel, listening to the soft music in his ears and overlooking the city that was plunged into darkness.
The city without any lights in the night is inexplicably unsettling.
He knew there must be survivors in the city, but they either lacked resources or did not dare to light lamps at night to avoid their own kind or mutant creatures.
Therefore, every time he saw such a night scene, he felt as if he was in a deserted and lonely dead city.
He Rui suddenly missed the shelter. It was still better there, with lots of people. He liked crowded and lively places.
She withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the man who was sleeping quietly on the bed with his eyes closed.
The cold moonlight sprinkled on the other person's sleeping face, as if it was coated with a layer of soft light.
My slightly uneasy heart calmed down again.
