Chapter 52
Seeing Xiao Yuncheng didn't say anything, Wu Tong looked up at him, only to see that the corners of Xiao Yuncheng's eyes were red. He had never seen Xiao Yuncheng cry before, never. Now Wu Tong was also panicked. He carefully held Xiao Yuncheng's face, and his words were a little unsteady: "You...don't cry."
"Let's not break up, okay?" Xiao Yuncheng said.
Wu Tong definitely doesn't want to break up, but if he doesn't encourage Xiao Yuncheng, Xiao Yuncheng will never get over it. Wu Tong wants to help him, and he doesn't want Xiao Yuncheng to feel bad and suffer with him.
Wu Tong quickly said, "No breakup, no breakup."
"I'm really upset. I've had so many dreams, Wu Tong, you know? In my dreams, no matter how happy and sweet the beginning was, you would still disappear at the end. I'm really... so sad."
His dream was so realistic that Wu Tong was speechless.
So such a realistic thing has been played back and forth so many times, how could Xiao Yuncheng not be afraid?
But Wu Tong felt that he had to help Xiao Yuncheng get out of his pain, otherwise he would not be able to leave in peace. This was reality, so he had to face it.
Wu Tong softened a little and said, "Then can you love me well in real life? Otherwise, how can I be happy? Don't you agree?"
Xiao Yuncheng couldn't deny it. He really wanted to kiss Wu Tong, but he avoided him.
Wu Tong took his hand and placed it on his heart. Xiao Yuncheng didn't understand why, but he could still clearly feel Wu Tong's heartbeat, piercing his chest and beating in his palm. Wu Tong said, "Count, count my heartbeats."
Xiao Yuncheng closed his eyes, once, twice, three times...
More real than Wu Tong’s heartbeat in the dream.
"My heartbeat is always chaotic in dreams, but in reality, Xiao Yuncheng," Wu Tong asked Xiao Yuncheng to open his eyes. That beautiful and perverse face boldly entered Xiao Yuncheng's sight, occupying his whole being. Wu Tong said, "It beats very hard for you."
Wu Tong has not finished his "treatment". He asked Xiao Yuncheng to recount all the dreams he had had. Xiao Yuncheng remembered every one of them very clearly. This would indeed affect Xiao Yuncheng's normal life. Wu Tong listened patiently, but his brows were always furrowed. He understood Xiao Yuncheng's pain.
Xiao Yuncheng finished recounting his last dream and looked at Wu Tong, not daring to speak. Wu Tong stared at him for a moment, raised her hand to cover his eyes, and then ordered Xiao Yuncheng, "Close your eyes."
Even though Wu Tong had covered his eyes, Xiao Yuncheng still obediently closed them. Then he clearly felt Wu Tong's hand drop down. He tightened his hand around Wu Tong's waist, afraid that he would leave. Wu Tong patted his arm soothingly and whispered, "Open your eyes."
Xiao Yuncheng opened his eyes. Wu Tong was no longer gone like in his dream. She was still there. Wu Tong tilted her head towards him and asked, "Did you see me disappear?"
"No." Xiao Yuncheng answered him sincerely. Wu Tong's frown finally relaxed and he smiled: "Because I turned around and grabbed you."
Xiao Yuncheng was stunned and burst out laughing. He pulled Wu Tong into his arms and said with a doting smile, "Doctor Wu is very good. I feel much better now."
"Really? Then why don't you thank me?" Wu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief and joked with Xiao Yuncheng.
Xiao Yuncheng hummed, and said, "It seems that there is nothing I can say to thank you, so I will pledge my love to you."
Wu Tong laughed, put his arms around Xiao Yuncheng's neck, and said, "Okay."
Xiao Yuncheng slowly lowered his head, Wu Tong closed his eyes, and their lips were about to touch.
"Xiao Yuncheng, let me awaken your consciousness!!!"
Bang!
The door was opened forcefully. The two people inside and outside stared at each other. Lin Chen reacted quickly, raising his hands to cover Shi Qian's eyes. He coughed twice and reminded them, "This is the police station. Be mindful of the impact."
Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong looked at each other, and Wu Tong immediately let go of Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng didn't care, as everyone knew it anyway. But when he saw Wu Tong's face flushed, he couldn't help laughing.
"Alright? Really? So fast?" Shi Qian circled Xiao Yuncheng several times. Xiao Yuncheng was a little speechless: "What do you want?"
"Lin Chen and I wasted a lot of time before, but we couldn't get it to work as fast as Tongtong said," Shi Qian sighed twice and said with emotion: "It still takes a partner to do it."
Several people walked out of the office talking and laughing. Wu Tong thought of the two people Xiao Yuncheng mentioned at the door of the police station. Then he remembered that he had not even seen Xu Ze.
He raised his hand and tugged at Xiao Yuncheng's sleeve. Xiao Yuncheng turned his head to look at him. Wu Tong whispered, "Has Xu Ze... been taken away by you?"
"Well, it's against the law after all, so there's still punishment." After saying that, Xiao Yuncheng added a teasing tone, "Why? Are you feeling sorry for your admirer?"
“…” Wu Tong glanced at him and muttered, “Don’t talk nonsense.”
Xiao Yuncheng invited them to have dinner together. The five of them booked a private room. When ordering food, they all put their heads together: Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong, Lin Chen and Shi Qian, Xuan Li and Wu Tong.
This was why Xuan Li insisted on sitting next to Wu Tong. Wu Tong was at a loss for words, and Xiao Yuncheng was speechless. The food would have to wait for a while, so they started chatting.
Xuan Li couldn't describe the interns in his department in one sentence: "Asking them to move a body would be like killing them. Those carrying stretchers are shaking, those picking up body parts can't hold them, some are vomiting, some are fainting. This class of young people really hasn't seen enough!"
Shi Qian almost laughed himself to death. Fortunately, Lin Chen helped him hold on to the rickety chair. He said helplessly, "Sit tight."
Shi Qian sat down obediently and said with a smile, "Hey, I have a feeling about this. The last time Sister Li and I went to the scene, there was a new face in our group. I was curious about who it was, but Brother Xiao took it out and said it was an intern from the Forensic Department. Hahahahaha."
"Yes, that girl, my God." Xuan Li sighed, but still said something nice: "But who hasn't been through this before? Take your time, the little girl is very brave to follow."
"That's true." Lin Chen nodded in agreement.
After chatting for a long time, the dishes were finally served. Xuan Li looked at the increasingly bland dishes and couldn't help but ask, "Are you really that picky?"
Xiao Yuncheng: "Tongtong can't eat strong flavors."
Lin Chen: "Shi Qian can't eat spicy food recently, and he doesn't eat onions, ginger, or garlic either."
Xuan Li: “…”
Wu Tong and Shi Qian clapped their hands in the air.
After dinner, Xiao Yuncheng and Wu Tong returned home. Wu Tong was going to move in with Xiao Yuncheng and had originally planned to hire a mover, but Wu Tong thought that they could go get some small items first and let the mover move the big items later. They arrived at Wu Tong's house and started packing.
Wu Tong didn't have much other stuff, but he had a ton of paintings, filling up the entire room. Xiao Yuncheng was stunned when he walked in. Wu Tong nudged him from behind: "What are you doing?"
"I'm shocked at how many tools our little painter has." Xiao Yuncheng then stepped into Wu Tong's studio.
Wu Tong didn't care: "Is this how we painters are? We paint with air without tools?"
Xiao Yuncheng smiled at him without saying anything. The two of them packed up until the evening. Xiao Yuncheng took the box from Wu Tong and put it in the trunk. Wu Tong got in the car and collapsed: "I'm so tired..."
Xiao Yuncheng started the car and touched Wu Tong's face, which was flushed due to exercise. It was warm and soft. Xiao Yuncheng looked at him with a smile and drove out of the community.
Fortunately, there is an elevator where Xiao Yuncheng lives, otherwise Wu Tong would have died downstairs. Wu Tong leaned on Xiao Yuncheng with a hunched back, whimpering, "I'm so tired..."
This was the thirteenth time he had said "I'm so tired". Xiao Yuncheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put his arm around Wu Tong's shoulders, letting him lean on him more comfortably, and comforted him, "It's okay. I'm done with the preparations. I'll move the rest. You go back and rest."
But Wu Tong, who kept complaining about being tired, didn't choose to rest. After putting his things away, he ran out with Xiao Yuncheng. Xiao Yuncheng looked at him puzzledly. Wu Tong ran up to him with a smile and said, "It's okay. I can recharge and fight again."
Then she quickly kissed Xiao Yuncheng's lips, and when Xiao Yuncheng wanted to deepen the kiss, she turned around and ran away.
“······” Xiao Yuncheng looked at his back and smiled helplessly.
After three trips, they finally finished moving. Wu Tong collapsed onto the sofa, mumbling about his sore hand. Xiao Yuncheng sat down beside him, took his hand and squeezed it, teasing him, "You're so skinny, how much strength can you possibly have?"
Wu Tong raised his head and glared at him, then fell back down. Xiao Yuncheng smiled and kissed the back of his hand, then continued to massage him. Wu Tong stretched out his other hand, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. He just tilted his head to look at the TV, enjoying Xiao Yuncheng's massage.
Xiao Yuncheng pinched him twice, lowered his head and asked him, "Are you hungry?"
Wu Tong paused and said, "A little bit."
"I'll go cook." Xiao Yuncheng helped Wu Tong aside and walked into the kitchen. Wu Tong continued watching TV. The little man on TV walked to the roof and jumped down. Wu Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, and "plop", the little man fell into the arms of another little man.
"?" What a bizarre plot? Wu Tong couldn't help but wonder if what he was watching was a cartoon.
This anime is boring, Wu Tong doesn't want to watch it anymore. He looks towards the kitchen. The foggy glass door of the kitchen is closed, and he can see the vague figure of Xiao Yuncheng. Wu Tong stands up and walks towards the kitchen.
Xiao Yuncheng was cutting slices of meat when suddenly the door beside him moved. Xiao Yuncheng turned his head and saw a bright eye through the crack in the door.
"······" Xiao Yuncheng was stunned for a moment, and was immediately amused by Wu Tongmeng. Seeing that he was discovered, Wu Tong sneaked in by himself.
"Why are you here?" Xiao Yuncheng asked him. Wu Tong tilted his head and said, "That anime is not good. It's boring to death."
Then Xiao Yuncheng cooked while listening to Wu Tong complaining about how outrageous the anime was. Laughter could be heard from the kitchen from time to time. The whole house became cozy, and the smell of fireworks filled the house, warm and lively. Xiao Yuncheng never thought that the house that was once so deserted that he could not even return to for a week would now become so addictive.
Wu Tong's intrusion brought a lot of laughter and joy to his life. Although she only appeared in his life for a moment, she became his everything.
