Chapter 18 Want it?
The phone displayed two large characters from Xu Ji: [Want?]
!!!
The brain buzzed.
Early in the morning, Tao Siyun was like seeing a ghost. He stared at the words "What does desire mean?" that had been sent to Xu Ji on the screen of his mobile phone and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
What kind of weird movie drama is this?!
She held her breath and carefully glanced at the time the message was sent. It was two minutes to four-thirty...
Tao Siyun couldn't believe that these words were actually sent from his own phone...
However, this is not the point for her. The point is that at this time, any normal person should be sleeping, right?
But Xu Ji not only didn't sleep, he even replied to her WeChat message!
What the hell is going on!
Tao Siyun grabbed his hair which was a little messy from sleeping and quickly went over everything that happened yesterday from beginning to end in his mind.
It was already early morning when the trip ended yesterday. Xu Ji drove her home, and she started to feel sleepy as soon as she got in the car. She dozed off in his car, and when she got home she was exhausted. She washed up and fell asleep immediately, but she didn't sleep well. She was dreaming all night and only woke up just now...
So, I have no memory of her sending WeChat messages, whether in dreams or in reality.
But she had no time to care about these things now, her mind was full of other things.
Xu Ji actually replied to her!!!
Still want...
It is true that she wants to die now.
If she didn't remember anything that happened in her dream after she woke up, she might be able to find an excuse to get away with it.
But every frame is engraved in my mind with incredible clarity.
Tao Siyun folded his arms, buried his head in his knees, his mind in a mess.
This really can no longer be described as embarrassing.
She clearly remembered pushing Xu Ji away in her dream and then waking up. So how did this message get sent?
Is there a time difference between dreams and reality?
In the early morning, sunlight shone into the bedroom through the thin gauze curtains. Xu Ji frowned and subconsciously covered his eyes. The mobile phone that was charging on the bedside table suddenly rang.
He unplugged the line and picked up the phone: "Hello, uncle."
A strong voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you up yet? Come over and have breakfast with me first, then we'll go look at the house. It's been renovated for two years and no one has ever lived in it. It's fully furnished. The owner has been away from home for a long time, so the price is lower than expected."
"Okay, I'll come right over and sign the contract today if it's suitable."
"Bring your tennis bag and play tennis with me this afternoon after you've finished looking at properties."
"Yeah." Xu Ji turned over and got out of bed, found a clean piece of clothing from the closet, and just put on a T-shirt when his cell phone rang again.
Tao Siyun sent four words: [Sent to the wrong person]
Xu Ji stared at the words, pulled the hem of his T-shirt that was accidentally tucked into his lower back out of his pants, slowly put on his shirt, and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
A few minutes later.
Xu Ji: [? ]
Tao Siyun: [I saw the wrong profile picture]
Xu Ji sat on the headboard, propped up one leg, and sneered: "Oh, who were you going to send it to?"
Tao Siyun only had time to relax halfway before the breath in his heart became blocked again.
To whom...
It seems inappropriate to send this sentence to anyone.
After a moment of silence, she decided to give up and slowly typed out two words: [Li Huan]
Xu Ji: [Are you sure? Isn't her profile picture a pink hair dryer?]
The next second, he took a screenshot and sent it over: [You can even get the color wrong? ]
Obviously he didn't believe her nonsense.
"..." Tao Siyun's heart skipped a beat, but he remained calm and continued to write: [I sent it to her secondary account. Her secondary account profile picture is similar to yours, both white.]
Xu Ji raised the corners of his mouth and smiled silently: [Now you know? Are you still asking her?]
He didn't sleep much the whole night, and his brows were full of fatigue.
Last night, I sent Tao Siyun home, but I didn't expect that she would sleep all the way. Xu Ji had no choice but to park the car at the gate of the community, turn off the engine, and wait for her to wake up.
Tao Siyun was sleeping soundly, but not very peacefully. Just when Xu Ji was about to unbuckle her seat belt, Tao Siyun suddenly grabbed his hand. During the movement, the baseball cap in the paper bag accidentally fell under the seat.
Xu Ji was stunned, his whole body was so stiff that he dared not move at all. He just lay sideways, letting her grab him, and looked at her quietly for a long time in the dimly lit car in an extremely awkward posture.
She curled up in the seat, her tightly closed eyelids trembling slightly, and she moaned from time to time, saying words that he could not hear clearly.
The voice was intermittent and vague, like the mumbling in a dream.
"Tao Siyun, did you have a nightmare?"
Only when her breathing gradually returned to normal did Xu Ji slowly pull his hand away and lie down holding her.
She was sleeping soundly.
Xu Ji gently closed the car door, locked the car, and lit a cigarette in the dark night.
Over the years, her hair has grown a little longer, but nothing else seems to have changed.
***
The oppressive atmosphere in the bedroom made people feel particularly suffocated.
Tao Siyun blushed at his question, feeling that his ability to make up stories was too poor. He deleted and typed in the input box, typed and deleted, deleted and typed again...
Finally, I just stopped replying.
She curled up in the quilt and called Bian Chengzi with trembling hands: "Are you up?"
"No..." Bian Chengzi muttered, still half asleep, "The mall isn't open yet so early. Why don't we go in the afternoon? I just lay down less than two hours ago..."
Tao Siyun said "hmm", "Did you stay up late again last night?"
"I didn't stay up late," Bian Chengzi yawned, turned over and hummed, "I worked all night until this morning, and I was exhausted."
“…”
"Oh, well, let me ask you a question."
"Well, ask."
Tao Siyun listened to the even breathing coming from the receiver and said nervously, "What if, I mean what if, while you were unconscious, you accidentally sent a very embarrassing WeChat message to Liang Jingchao that you couldn't withdraw, but when you woke up you had no memory of it at all, and he replied to you, what would you do?"
???
Bian Chengzi was already on the verge of drowsiness and was about to fall asleep in the next second. She didn't pay attention to what she was saying at all, but as soon as her ears caught the three words "Liang Jingchao", she immediately woke up.
Even though the name no longer meant anything to her, the conditioned reflex formed over the years still made her subconsciously ask, "What? What did you just say? Who posted what??"
"..." Tao Siyun patiently repeated what he just said.
Bian Chengzi was stunned for a long time, as if struck by lightning. Then, he asked nervously, "I want to know how embarrassing the content of the post is."
"Like, for example, asking him what 'desire' is..."
“…”
After these words were spoken, Bian Chengzi remained silent for a long time, finally wailing in despair, "Delete, block, cancel the account... In short, there are many ways for a person to disappear from the earth, really."
***
In the evening, at the bar on Xinjie Street, Tao Siyun briefly explained the whole story.
"Oh my god, you're not having a dream within a dream, are you? Wait! No, isn't that message you sent any different from just saying you want to sleep with someone?!" Bian Chengzi expressionlessly held up the phone in front of her, pointing at the words on the screen and said, "It's so obvious, if I were a man, I would definitely think you, a little devil, are hinting at me."
"I think there's a difference..." Tao Siyun said with an innocent look on his face. Although he was right, he wasn't very confident. He slowly defended himself, "Because, in a sense, I really didn't send this message. It wasn't my original intention at all."
"If it's not you, then it's a ghost!" Bian Chengzi slammed her phone on the table, holding her face in her hands and blinking. In the dim light of the bar, she looked at Tao Siyun affectionately: "Just those two words, whether you understand them literally or see them in the eyes of other people of the opposite sex, don't they both mean 'I want...'?"
In response to this, Tao Siyun shook his head firmly: "...No."
"Hey! Dorothy, you weren't controlled by some lustful female ghost after you fell asleep, were you? Or did you secretly watch something inappropriate for children without my knowledge, causing you to have a premature dream about spring in this season of low libido?"
"No."
"I don't believe you, a single woman since birth, would suddenly send someone a message like that for no reason. Tell me the truth, has anything happened to you recently?"
She was probably stimulated by Li Huan's words.
Bian Chengzi pointed at the WeChat chat interface between her and Xu Ji, "Also, who is this man?"
"..." Tao Siyun lowered his eyelashes, pinched the plastic straw to stir the ice cubes at the bottom of the glass, and said calmly: "Just, classmate."
"Hey, hey, hey, what kind of classmate are you? Can you please explain clearly?" Bian Chengzi pounded the table and interrogated him seriously: "What's your name, age, occupation, what do you do, how did you know each other, what was your relationship before, and what is your relationship now?"
Tao Siyun sighed. "Xu Ji, from Shanghai West, male, 24, almost 25, majoring in computer science, graduated from Jingfu University, top scorer in the science section of the 2014 Shanghai West College Entrance Examination..."
"Wow, you're quite influential. So, what's your relationship with this top science student who lent you his shirt?"
Tao Siyun hesitated for a moment: "We are really just high school classmates."
"What else?"
"We sat next to each other for a year in our first year of high school. Later, we were divided into arts and science classes. He was in the science class and I was in the arts class."
"Hmm," Bian Chengzi narrowed his eyes, feeling that things were not that simple. "Is that the end? Don't tell me that after the division into arts and science, you two parted ways and never met again."
Tao Siyun's eyes dodged for a moment, and he took a sip of iced black tea while biting the straw. Feeling a little guilty, he said hesitantly, "...For a while, there were rumors about him and me at school, but they were all rumors. We are innocent..."
Bian Chengzi said "Oh" and nodded doubtfully, "That's right, I completely believe it. In short, you will never fall in love too early, but I'm still a little curious——"
"What are you curious about?"
"Can you tell me about your scandal in detail?"
"cannot."
"..." Bian Chengzi supported her head with her hands, and looked her over with a gossipy look for eighteen times before finally saying, "Dorothy, why do I feel like something's not right with you? So, just tell me briefly."
Tao Siyun looked away and glanced at the bar not far away where people were drinking and chatting. He squinted his eyes in the soft and soothing background music of the bar.
"I remember it was my second year of high school. The school made us take extra classes every day. One time, after evening self-study, I was delayed for a few minutes due to something else. I missed the last bus and was blocked by a few girls from other schools on my way home. That's when he happened to show up."
