Chapter 28 Mirror Lake: Facing the Ugliness in Your Heart 2
"I'm looking for an opportunity..."
"When you're not paying attention... take you away."
"This way, I can see you forever..."
He murmured softly.
But……
The rational part of me resisted madly.
"No! Absolutely not!"
"No more thinking, no more planning!"
"Your so-called beautiful hometown is a living purgatory in Ai Zhe's eyes."
"If Ai Zhe saw this... he would be afraid of me..."
Xiao Ai held his head and knelt on the ground.
It hurts so much that I want to tear it all apart.
But the illusion was merciless.
He saw himself trapping Ai Zhe in spider silk again and again.
In the spider web, Ai Zhe even lost the characteristics and behaviors that a human should have.
His eyes were confused, as if he had been assimilated.
Every day she snuggles in my arms and is hugged by me.
He would also reach out and touch his face, with only himself in his eyes.
"No... Senior is not like that..."
"Senior likes playing basketball, playing games, and long-distance running! Senior likes living in the human world..."
Xiao Ai squatted down and hugged his head.
His shoulders heaved violently.
"I'm forcing my senior. Why am I so perverted..."
“Why do I have these thoughts?”
"I'm sorry, Senior..."
"I shouldn't be like this..."
"I shouldn't think like that..."
The scene was so sweet that it made his heart beat faster, but also so ugly that it made him want to die.
"Don't... don't let him see... please..."
Egglas' tears flowed uncontrollably.
He was extremely scared, afraid that Ai Zhe would know this side of his heart.
She was afraid that he would know that deep down she wanted to kidnap Ai Zhe.
I want to take him back to the Spider's Nest and keep him all to myself for the rest of my life.
He painfully faced his truest desires, only to find that they were so difficult to look at.
So ugly.
Eglas cried bitterly.
The illusion gradually faded, and the three of them returned to the lake at the same time.
But no one dared to look at each other immediately.
Noson had his hands in his pockets, a stubborn look on his face, but his breathing was faster than usual.
But he is also the most calm one.
He was still whispering in his heart:
How can I be considered ugly? At most, I am a little bit immature.
I just want to like Ai Zhe, and Ai Zhe must like me, so what.
Ai Zhe pursed his lips with a complicated expression.
His eyes grew deeper, as if he was reflecting on himself.
I dared not look at the two of them.
Xiao Ai's eyes were red and he kept his head down.
Like there was some fear.
Even he himself dared not look at his own thoughts.
My fingers were almost pinched to bleed.
He was afraid that Ai Zhe would see it and know his obsession just now.
He understood the ugly alien thoughts and instincts in his heart.
What Northen said was right. According to the analysis of alien behavioral psychology, out of instinct and nature, aliens often develop an uncontrollable possessive desire when faced with things they like.
This intensifies a series of abnormal thoughts and behaviors.
It's instinctive.
Xiao Ai is also restraining this instinct.
He really likes Ai Zhe too much. Completely eliminating the idea of monopolizing Ai Zhe is to overcome nature and instinct.
What he should do is to adapt to human society, work hard, study, and stay with Aizhe.
The three of them were silent.
The river in front of the tree hole was still flowing, as if nothing had happened.
But they all knew that they had seen the selfish side of their hearts that they least wanted to expose.
But no one said it out loud.
Only the indifferent voice on the lake still echoed in their minds:
"Please face your obsessions and selfish desires."
Night falls.
There was a small bonfire burning in the tree hole, and the firelight made the river surface flicker.
The only sound in the air was the crackling of wood.
Ai Zhe leaned against a corner outside the tree hole, wearing the coat knitted for him by Xiao Ai.
The lines of his profile were outlined deeply by the firelight, but there was no relaxation.
His eyelids drooped, as if he was thinking.
But I don't want anyone to see through it.
Noson sat on the other side, staring blankly at the dried fish.
His posture was lazy, but his fingertips kept stroking the corners of his clothes.
Revealing the anxiety deep in my heart.
Xiao Ai stood a little further away from them, hugging his knees.
The whole person was curled up.
The air was eerily still.
No one spoke, and the crackling of the campfire seemed to deliberately amplify the silence.
Ai Zhe looked down at the fire and sighed inwardly.
He guessed that the other two people also saw in the Mirror Lake the thing they least wanted to face.
No one wanted to talk, but everyone was reflecting.
But if we just keep holding it in, the atmosphere will only get worse.
He suddenly reached out and moved the branches, and sparks flew.
"Hello,"
He spoke, his voice soft but with a smile.
"You all have such sad faces. Does anyone owe you money?"
Noson raised his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and then pulled the corner of his mouth:
"I'm fine."
Xiao Ai shook his head violently, his voice hoarse.
"I...I'm fine too."
Ai Zhe made a "tsk" sound and glanced across the faces of the two men.
"Don't be ridiculous. You two are the same. Your worries are written all over your face. Did that damn place called Jinghu scare you?"
He smiled, his tone deliberately light:
"That's all right, me too. We're even now."
After the words were spoken, the two raised their heads.
The air seemed to loosen a little.
But I couldn't say anything.
Northen pursed his lips and laughed softly:
"Tsk...pretending to be a male Bodhisattva."
"I'm sure you're very selfish, and maybe even thinking about letting someone down."
Northen narrowed his eyes and looked at Aizhe, as if he wanted to see through him.
Ai Zhe's body trembled, and he looked a little uncomfortable.
Northam nodded and looked at him more sharply, as if he really read him thoroughly.
"If you really want to be a male bodhisattva to ease the atmosphere or express your guilt, you should immediately take off your clothes and dance in front of the bonfire. The atmosphere will immediately improve."
The scene appeared in Xiao Ai's mind, and he couldn't help but laugh softly.
Like secretly expecting something.
Aizhe slapped Noson.
He reached out and wrapped the coat around his shoulders.
He casually added a few pieces of wood to the fire.
The fire suddenly lit up.
The light warmed the faces of the three people.
"Okay, go to sleep."
Ai Zhe leaned back and spoke in a lazy voice.
"Don't dwell on those messy thoughts. Just get through it. Don't take it too seriously."
As he said this, he deliberately added:
"If you still can't get over it... I'll actually dance with you tomorrow, even though I'm not a very good dancer. And don't even think about seeing me dance without clothes. Don't even think about it. I still have some dignity to protect."
This nonsensical sentence completely broke the tense atmosphere.
Northen rolled his eyes, but still couldn't help curling the corners of his mouth.
Xiao Ai buried his face and his shoulders shook slightly, not knowing whether he was laughing or crying.
The bonfire burned and the air warmed up little by little.
The three of them lay down in the tree hole.
Before they knew it, the two people naturally moved closer from both sides.
Each of them held half of Ai Zhe in their arms.
It's like they all have something on their minds.
Although there is still a secret in my heart, this time, it is no longer the kind of silence that is so oppressive that it makes me feel suffocated.
The light from the campfire gradually dimmed, leaving only the occasional crackling of the wood.
I felt sleepy and my eyelids seemed to be pulled shut by something.
There was an indescribable hum in the air.
Just in a daze.
Snake Girl's voice suddenly emerged, coldly cutting into their consciousness:
"The next mission has begun, let's start confessing."
Ai Zhe suddenly opened his eyes and found himself sitting in an old classroom.
Sunlight streamed in through the dappled windows.
The desks are neatly arranged, and the words written on the blackboard are eye-catching:
[If you want to leave this place, you must make a true confession. ]
