night.
Mo Tang did not sleep soundly.
Linghu Lan asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"
"I can't sleep!"
Mo Tang closed her eyes slightly. Linghu Lan was usually a sleeping pill addict, but not today.
"Is it because I'm leaving?"
"Um!"
“You can try to keep me here for a while,” Linghu Lan said with a smile.
Mo Tang opened her eyes, looked at Linghu Lan's pale and gentle face in the light of the outside lamp, and said, "Can you stay?"
"No!" Linghu Lan said decisively.
Mo Tang: "..."
"You're flirting with me!" Mo Tang said, feeling wronged.
Linghu Lan reached out and drew on his eyebrows. "Hmm! Shall I tease you?"
"Here you go! You can tease me however you want." Mo Tang was much happier, her eyes filled with anticipation. "If you want to take advantage of me, I won't resist."
Linghu Lan reached out and grabbed Mo Tang's ear. "You're trying to take advantage of me?"
Mo Tang glanced at the distance between herself and Linghu Lan; they were practically invisible. Anyone who came this close would know their relationship was anything but ordinary. Could this be called taking advantage? It was clearly mutual affection. "You can take advantage of me if you want; I'm at your mercy."
Linghu Lan laughed: "Tell me, besides me, who else have you let pick Jie?"
"This humble door is now opened for you." Mo Tang reached out and gently pinched Linghu Lan's nose.
Linghu Lan's heart stirred, a bittersweet feeling welling up inside her. "Didn't you have a girlfriend before?"
"I was in a coma for nearly eight years. Before that, I was focused on scientific research. In college, I was in a science-oriented university, and there were only a few girls in my class..." Mo Tang's tone was not aggrieved, but rather reminiscing. The historian of that time, now, thinking about it, felt exceptionally beautiful.
Finally, Mo Tang said, "I feel like I was born to wait for you."
Linghu Lan was somewhat touched by the sweetness. "I also felt that you were waiting for me. I met you in the very first world I started traveling to, and I fell in love with you. I haven't been able to forget you all these years. Have you given me some kind of spell?"
"Maybe! Our 'attributes' are destined to be together. My ability is time travel, and your ability is to make other people's abilities disappear. Without you, I might still be wandering through time and space for who knows how many years. I can give you a soul-crushing potion to keep you here, and I'll do it to you right now."
"You can't get it from me, I'm immune to you now!" Linghu Lan said with a hint of pride.
Mo Tang: "..."
He looked at Linghu Lan with clear eyes, as if trying to see through her soul.
Linghu Lan reached out and touched his eyes, then gently patted his shoulder a few times. "Sleep, sleep. I know you're tired from shopping with me today. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so don't push yourself. I promise I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with things at home. Be good!"
Mo Tang closed his eyes helplessly. He was indeed tired today. His physical strength was not enough. He just couldn't sleep because Linghu Lan was leaving and he was too energetic. Now that he had chatted for a while, he felt much better.
He knew in his heart that there was no room for anyone else between him and Linghu Lan. In this matter, only their souls could comfort each other; no one else was of any use to them.
Once I understood this, I felt at ease.
Linghu Lan gently adjusted to a comfortable position and nestled in Mo Tang's arms, falling asleep as well.
On a cold day, it feels so good to have a fireplace to hug.
