Chapter 49 "I Really Want to Hide You"
The girl grinned at him, her eyes full of allure and allure: "Handsome boy, you are the grandson of old lady Yang, right? You just came back from the big city yesterday? My name is Yang Lian, how about getting to know each other?"
"No, I don't want to meet you." Ren Yizi took a deep puff of his cigarette, didn't even look at her, and walked a few steps to go back.
"Hey! Don't go." Yang Lian stopped him. She had never seen such a handsome boy before. She fell in love with Ren Yizi at first sight. Most of the people in this village were middle-aged and elderly. Many young people had gone out to work or go to school. Even if there were young people, the ones who stayed were a bunch of ugly people. "Just get to know him. It won't cost you anything."
Yang Lian opened her arms, pressed her face against him, and pressed her chest against him, letting Ren Yizi's heart explode. Was he being sexually harassed?
Ren Yizi wanted to get angry, but after all, he was at his grandmother's side, so he had to pretend to be friendly, otherwise the uncles and aunts would gossip about their family. He could only say in a bad mood: "Don't stop me."
People passing by and the store owners all looked over here several times.
Ren Yizi didn't dare to push Yang Lian with his hands, for fear that she would accuse him of sexual harassment. So he had no choice but to run away, trying to get away from this little gangster.
Yang Lian was very unscrupulous in her actions. She pulled Ren Yizi's clothes to prevent him from leaving, and said with a smile: "Don't run, I like you so much. Come to my house next time to play? I live in Room xx, xxx Road."
Ren Yizi felt that he was unlucky today. He was entangled by such a scoundrel. He could neither curse nor hit her. He wanted to leave quickly, so he had to scan her WeChat, thinking that he would block her when he got back.
Yang Lian scanned his WeChat with satisfaction and accidentally saw a cold, pale, tall and thin boy hiding in a tree not far away and looking at them. It seemed that he had been staring at them for a long time.
Although the boy was extremely handsome, his expression was extremely scary. He stared at them expressionlessly, or to be more precise, he was staring at her!
The look in her eyes was sinister and deep. If it became a physical object, countless poisoned ice arrows would be shot at her, leaving her with countless wounds and dying.
Yang Lian was startled by that look, and felt her hands and feet go cold. She even dropped her phone to the ground in fright.
Ren Yizi frowned, watching Yang Lian's face suddenly turn pale for some reason, and even her cell phone fell. He felt annoyed and wanted to run away immediately.
Yang Lian hurriedly picked up her phone. She glanced fearfully at the big tree not far behind Ren Yizi. She saw the boy behind the tree walking towards her in an orderly manner. He no longer looked at her, but his expression changed in an instant, immediately changing into a harmless look. The intimidating and oppressive feeling disappeared without a trace. He shouted to Ren Yizi, "Brother Zi, did you buy the cigarettes?"
Ren Yizi originally saw Yang Lian's eyes looking through him into the distance, and he didn't know what he was looking at. Now when he heard Wen Si Ru calling him, he thought that Yang Lian's eyes were shocked by Wen Si Ru's outstanding appearance.
"I've bought it." Ren Yizi turned around, feeling a little guilty. He didn't know if Wen Siru saw how he was being harassed by Yang Lian and how he had no choice but to send her WeChat.
"Then let's go home." Wen Siru naturally took Ren Yizi's hand, and the two people's Buddhist beads touched each other lightly, making a subtle sound.
"Let's go." Ren Yizi wanted to leave quickly while Yang Lian didn't react, so he held Wen Siru's hand tightly.
Yang Lian stood there, unable to utter a word, stunned like a goose by Wen Si Ru's incredibly smooth and seamless facial changing. But Yang Lian swore that she had seen it clearly and was definitely not dazzled. Wen Si Ru's horrified look had been deeply engraved in her mind.
"Wait." She didn't react until Ren Yizi had walked several steps away. She hurried over and continued to chat with Ren Yizi.
But the next second, Wen Siru suddenly turned around, and his eyes flew towards her accurately. His pupils were like two bottomless black holes, faintly revealing a chill, nailing Yang Lian to the spot.
Yang Lian's hair stood on end and she couldn't help but take several steps back. She felt that Ren Yizi's friend was very scary and didn't dare to go forward.
Ren Yizi and the others walked away.
Ren Yizi took the WeChat that was passed immediately and blocked it in seconds. He showed his phone to Wen Siru and explained, "I was harassed by this psycho girl just now. I couldn't get away, so I had to scan her WeChat. Now I've blocked her."
Wen Siru's expression was normal. He nodded and said, "I know. I just saw it."
"You haven't gone home yet? Why did you follow me to the convenience store?" Ren Yizi lit another cigarette.
Wen Siru said sourly: "If I don't follow you, will others hook up with you?"
Ren Yizi knew that Wen Siru still cared about this matter. He opened his mouth and a wisp of smoke came out of his lips. He scolded with a smile: "Are you sick? If someone flirts with me, will I go with her?"
The cold air was filled with the faint scent of tobacco.
Wen Siru stared at Ren Yizi's moist lips opening and closing in the smoke, as well as his faintly visible red tongue. He narrowed his eyes, and suddenly put his hands on Ren Yizi's neck, saying inexplicably seriously, "To be honest, sometimes I really want to hide you."
"Fuck, it's cold." Ren Yizi suddenly felt a chill on his neck and shuddered. He thought Wen Siru was just playing a prank and wanted to use his neck to warm his hands.
He took his hand off his neck and puffed smoke at Wen Siru's face teasingly, and playfully joked, "Where is it hiding?"
Wen Siru suddenly fell silent. He hugged Ren Yizi in his arms, closed his eyes, and held him quietly for a long time.
-
In the evening, after Ren Yizi and the others finished washing up, they saw that grandma was still watching TV on the sofa, so they had to pretend to go back to their rooms to sleep.
Ren Yizi even stuck to the door panel to listen for his grandmother's movements, typing quickly: "I'll wait until grandma goes to bed before coming over. Please open the door for me later."
Wen Siru replied: "Okay."
Ren Yizi continued chatting with Wen Siru.
After a while, grandma suddenly knocked on the door: "Azi, are you asleep? My TV is a little broken, come and see what's wrong."
Ren Yizi responded, "Okay, I'll take a look."
He opened the door and followed his grandmother to the living room to see what was wrong with the TV. After tinkering with it for a while, he caught a glimpse of Wen Si Ru's room door open. He knew that Wen Si Ru must be smiling at him from behind the door, so when his grandmother wasn't paying attention, he raised his middle finger towards the door.
After the repair, grandma said she would continue to curl up on the sofa, showing no intention of going back to sleep. Ren Yizi took a look and thought it was a bloody palace drama. He deliberately asked casually: "Grandma, it's so late, you should go back to sleep."
Grandma said like a child, "No, today is the finale, I must finish watching it."
She also waved her hand, asking Ren Yizi not to block her.
Ren Yizi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. On the one hand, he was happy that his grandmother was getting younger and younger, but on the other hand, he was itching to go to Wen Siru's room and sleep with her.
He guessed that his grandmother would stay up all night watching the drama tonight. His plan to wait for her to fall asleep and then go to Wen Siru's room was not feasible. He had no choice but to return to his room first and sent a WeChat message to Wen Siru saying, "Grandma has to stay in the living room. I can't come."
Wen Siru replied after a while: "Forget it, don't come over tonight, go to sleep, good night."
Ren Yizi could sense that Wen Siru still wanted him to come over, and he himself was unwilling to give in. His mind was full of thoughts of sleeping with Wen Siru and hugging and kissing each other, so he kept thinking of a way. Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and an idea came to him. He smiled and replied to Wen Siru on the phone: "Okay, good night then."
Then he prepared to climb through the window to Wen Siru's room with a happy look on his face. Anyway, their rooms were both on the first floor.
He quickly opened his window and the cold wind blew in, but he didn't feel cold at all. Instead, his blood boiled because he was thinking about going to Wen Si Ru's room soon to give Wen Si Ru a surprise.
He successfully climbed over the window, then ran along the wall to the window of Wen Si Ru's room.
He squatted under the window and quietly peeked into the room. The curtains in Wen Siru's room were drawn, but not tightly, leaving a gap the size of a bowl.
Ren Yizi looked inside through the gap, but saw Wen Siru sitting at the head of the bed with a sullen face, talking on the phone to someone.
No one knew what was said on the other side, but Wen Siru pursed his lips into a straight line and remained silent. He was twisting the Buddhist beads in his hand, slowly moving them one by one.
The cold light from the cell phone shone on Wen Si Ru's expressionless face, which looked even more terrifyingly cold and pale in the darkness, with sharp edges and corners. His usually gentle features disappeared without a trace, looking very strange.
Ren Yizi's breathing stopped and he was shocked. He had never seen such an expression on Wen Si Ru's face before. He shuddered inexplicably, feeling as if he had accidentally glimpsed another unknown side of Wen Si Ru, and was very surprised and suspicious.
In a flash, he inexplicably recalled that their dormitory had been set on fire. Wen Siru had poured oil on the fire in front of the flames to deliberately incriminate Qian Min, and said lightly, "I want him to be punished."
Ren Yizi broke out in a cold sweat, and his head seemed to be filled with a thick fog that could not be dispelled.
So, what kind of person is Wen Si Ru?
This question began to linger in Ren Yizi's mind.
Logically speaking, he and Wen Si Ru had been living under the same roof for several months. They had become a close couple and were often stuck together 24 hours a day. Ren Yizi should have known Wen Si Ru best, but now he suddenly felt very unsure.
After a while, Wen Si Ru finished the call and suddenly looked at him as if he had sensed something. His peach-petal eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Ren Yizi stood there in a daze. He inexplicably thought of the martial arts movies where the knight could kill people like crazy just by using flower petals as hidden weapons.
When Wen Siru saw it was him, his expression immediately returned to normal, his brows softened, but with a hint of unnaturalness: "Brother Zi? Why are you hiding outside the window? I thought there was a thief."
"I wanted to sleep in your room. I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect you to find out first." Ren Yizi's mind was racing, and he spoke based on his subconscious reflexes. He hesitated and carefully asked, "What happened to you just now? You look very bad."
"Nothing, just a nuisance call." Wen Siru got up from the bed and walked over, opening the window wide. He stretched out his hand and said to Ren Yizi, "Come in, are you cold?"
Both his expression and tone were as elegant as usual.
Ren Yizi climbed in from the window, holding Wen Siru's hand. He carefully observed Wen Siru's face and found that the expression that made him sweat just now seemed to have been completely erased by an eraser, without a trace. Instead, he smiled and said to him, "The two of us are like having an affair."
Then he started kissing Ren Yizi's neck and his hand slipped into Ren Yizi's clothes.
Ren Yizi was still frightened. He gently pushed Wen Siru, held that perfect face in his hands, and asked seriously, "I almost didn't recognize you just now. It was so scary. It wasn't a harassing call at all, was it? What happened?"
Wen Siru paused and sighed softly, "Does your expression look scary? Actually, it's nothing. I was just thinking about the past."
Ren Yizi looked at him silently, pulled him to sit on the bed, and waited quietly for him to continue.
Wen Siru touched Ren Yizi's face and said solemnly, "Brother Zi, I'm only telling you this, so don't tell anyone else."
Ren Yizi realized the seriousness of the matter and held his hand to encourage and comfort him: "Don't worry, if you don't let me, I will definitely not tell anyone."
As soon as Wen Siru opened his mouth, Ren Yizi's three views were shattered: "When I was a child, my father kidnapped me."
"What?" Ren Yizi acted as if he didn't understand Chinese. His jaw dropped to the ground in shock, his face full of exclamation marks. "Are you saying your dad kidnapped you?"
Wen Siru nodded calmly: "Yes, to be precise, he just wanted to train my courage and asked me to cooperate in a big show. As long as I pass the test, I can be selected as his successor."
Ren Yizi was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
Wen Siru continued to explain: "My father has many children all over the country, and he will use extreme means to select the heir he is satisfied with.
For example, he would go so far as to imitate the FBI's SWAT training methods, putting his own flesh and blood into an extremely unfamiliar situation and letting him escape from danger. But this is something I only learned later.
When I was kidnapped, I had no idea it was my father who was testing me."
Wen Siru still remembers the fear he felt in an unfamiliar situation. He was about seven or eight years old at the time. He was tied up and placed in a dark and damp trunk where he could not see his hand in front of his face.
It happened to be the hottest time of the year, and he was soaked all over. The car was shaking violently, and he felt dizzy and wanted to die. He really thought he was going to die there.
Ren Yizi was surprised and asked, "Oh my god, what happened to you later?"
"I stole a knife and cut the rope on my arm, but because I used too much force, my hand was covered in blood.
"When the 'kidnappers' stopped to rest, I rolled down the car window and escaped. I spent a few days in the wilderness and returned home relying on my memory. "Wen Siru recalled, "I later realized that if I hadn't escaped, those people wouldn't have done anything to me. They were just pretending to scare me and strengthen my psychological strength.
But if I hadn't escaped, I wouldn't have been on my father's list of heirs."
When Wen Si Ru escaped back, he was surprised that he kept hearing the sounds of helicopters. It turned out that they were his family's planes following him just in case.
He calmly expounded the secrets in his heart, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs. The moments of fear and countless thrills were passed by him calmly.
Ren Yizi took Wen Siru's hand and pulled up his long sleeves. He looked at the faint scars on his muscular arm, his eyes filled with heartache: "So this is how you got the scar on your arm."
Ren Yizi thought of what happened before: "Is this also how you got your claustrophobia?"
Wen Siru lowered his eyes: "Well, that's why I always hate the way Wen Zongyuan selects people. I just answered the phone and heard that he was assessing people again. It reminded me of the time when I was lying in the trunk in despair..."

If this story were a bedtime sweet treat, the kind that sprinkles sugar throughout, then it would be perfect if the novel ended here.
But the tags “dog blood” and “broken mirror reunited” in my copy are not for nothing (with an ambiguous smile)
