Chapter 98: Punishment for Sleeping with Me Tonight
The car was very quiet, and the sound of interlaced breathing was gradually amplified in my ears.
Zhu Yanshi turned his head and his eyes met the eyes of the man next to him. He did not respond, but remained silent.
The soft sound of vehicles sliding past on the road outside the car window penetrated into my ears and became the only accompaniment.
Song Zhiyu started the car, and the cool night wind began to roll in from the window and hit people's faces.
"Take you for a ride."
There was no sense of discomfort in his voice, and it even had a hint of carefreeness.
The man did not continue the previous topic, but instead took the initiative to change the subject and started chatting about something else.
“…I’ve been here for a few days, and there’s a place with the best view.”
“I discovered that this city is a sunken basin… When the lights come on at night, it’s like looking at a whole sea of stars.”
Song Zhiyu's voice was very soft, and the light reflected from the street lamp outside the window could be seen in his black pupils staring at the front.
With one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand turning on the car music, soothing piano music echoed in the car.
The tense emotions gradually relaxed and people returned to calm.
It's strange to say, Zhu Yanshi thought that the other party asked him out in order to get a response and a reason for him to avoid him.
In fact, this reason is clear to both of us...
But Song Zhiyu didn't do that. Ever since he expressed his feelings for the last time while sitting in the car, he has been talking about some interesting things that happened to him recently.
Nothing else was mentioned.
The journey was not so boring when the music was turned on. Zhu Yanshi lay by the window, looking at the scenery outside.
The wind blew through the strands of hair on his forehead, and his eyes were like the brightest stars in the night sky, shining with dazzling light.
"How did you find this place?"
"You came here alone?"
The young man turned his head, curled his lips, lowered his eyebrows, and looked at Song Zhiyu with some pity in his eyes.
“How pitiful…”
"The last time I came here alone, I had a bad experience, so I brought you along this time."
Song Zhiyu smiled.
The car drove all the way from the city to the suburbs. If you were not familiar with each other and knew each other's identities, you might think that you were being abducted to the suburbs to do something criminal or illegal.
The further you drive towards the suburbs, the more noticeable the changes in the scenery outside the window. The lush trees add a deeper color to the already dark sky.
The car drove to a hillside. Looking up, you can see a sky full of stars, densely packed and beautiful.
Looking down, you can see the city sunken into the hillside, with tall buildings everywhere. The outer contours of the buildings are blurred by the night, and the only clear thing is the flickering lights in the gaps between the layers of buildings.
"You can see two seas of stars here."
Song Zhiyu stood at the top of the hillside, facing Zhu Yan, with all kinds of dazzling lights behind him. His meticulously combed hair was a little messy due to the wind, but what could not be ignored was his eyes which were as bright as the stars in the sky.
Zhu Yanshi felt that this feeling was magical.
He has been doing his best to release endless energy to the outside world, and releasing it outward only brings internal consumption.
But now, the power that was about to be emptied was instantly fully charged when it came into contact with the other person's bright eyes.
He's not the only one who's paying...
All the tall buildings and clusters of low buildings were sunken into the depression of the basin in the night, and they stood at the highest point on one side of the basin.
Zhu Yanshi reached out and grabbed Song Zhiyu's wrist, pulling him towards himself.
"You're not afraid of falling..."
"I know my limits."
Song Zhiyu still had a smile on his face, and he leaned over as if he had no bones.
He turned around and faced Zhu Yanshi with his back facing him childishly.
"I believe in you, even if I have to turn my back to you."
"Then I'm really going to push you down."
Zhu Yanshi pretended to put his hand on the man's shoulder and gently pushed him forward as if to scare him.
So stupid.
Just like acting.
His movements froze at the moment Song Zhiyu turned his head.
The two of them stared at each other, and in the end they couldn't hold back the smiles on their faces. They laughed so hard that they couldn't even straighten their backs. They simply found a relatively flat grass slope and lay down.
I looked up at the stars blooming above my head.
The wind blowing on my body has the fragrance of grass, it is cool and makes me feel comfortable all over.
This area is not stuffy at all, and there is even a hint of coolness from the shade of the trees.
"When will you be back?"
Zhu Yanshi asked whatever he thought of.
"What? Are you kicking me out?"
Song Zhiyu closed his eyes and felt the wind brushing against his eyelashes.
"Can't it be that I care about you?"
Zhu Yanshi also closed his eyes.
Song Zhiyu suddenly laughed: "That's fine..."
"Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."
Zhu Yanshi: "Leaving so soon?"
Song Zhiyu: "You want to keep me?"
Zhu Yanshi: "...your company is so big, it can't be leaderless."
"I have already done what I wanted to do. I only have one request."
Song Zhiyu paused and turned to look at the profile of the young man next to him.
"I sent you a WeChat message, don't pretend you didn't see it."
Zhu Yanshi didn't respond. After a long time, he nodded very seriously.
The two of them lay on the hillside and enjoyed the breeze for a while. They didn't know how much time had passed, maybe an hour, maybe two hours.
Although they didn't talk much, they didn't feel awkward with each other. They could hear the chirping of insects in the distance.
A long series of roars were heard in the empty surroundings.
Song Zhiyu knew that Zhu Yan had work the next day, so he didn't play too late and drove him back to the villa.
When the boy got out of the car and turned around to wave at the driver's seat, Song Zhiyu spoke in a hoarse voice.
It spreads out in the dark night, knocking on people's hearts, bringing a different kind of heavy power.
"I know you're insecure."
The man sat in the car with his cheek facing away from the light, and the emotions revealed in his dark eyes were particularly lingering.
"So I won't force you."
"I respect your choice..."
There was a pause.
The wind blew the leaves outside the yard, tangling them together in a mess. When the last sound fell like a sigh, it pushed the emotions to a climax.
"I'm waiting for you."
The light from the street lamp outside the villa fell on the boy's face, outlining his outer features clearly.
It was so quiet all around that the sound was particularly clear in the air.
Just as Zhu Yanshi was about to speak, Song Zhiyu closed the car window and said the last sentence.
"sorry…"
I started the car, not even willing to listen for a moment, for fear of hearing an answer I didn't want to hear. I drove away almost in a panic.
The light from the car lights disappeared at the end of the road, and the boy was still standing in the light of the street lamp, with his fingers hanging by his side slightly contracted.
Zhu Yanshi stared at the tip of his shoes in a daze, his hands in his trouser pockets, and kept wandering in front of the villa.
He is sensitive, so in this situation, he often thinks more than anyone else.
He was thinking about what Song Zhiyu said.
He had accomplished what he wanted to do, which was to look at the stars by himself once?
Zhu Yanshi suddenly vaguely remembered a time when he and the other person went hiking together to watch the sunset.
Perhaps the beautiful scenery at that time was too shocking, and the sounds around me seemed blurred and not clear.
But now when I suddenly think back, I slowly remember the man's gentle voice brought by the wind.
"Let's watch the stars together if we have the chance."
Memories gradually came back, but Zhu Yanshi frowned.
It was all obvious, but he was afraid he was being overly sentimental.
In comparison, he suddenly felt that his cautious nature was not worthy of the other party's determination.
Every time a little bit of possibility arises in my heart, it will be completely destroyed by reason.
No one would understand, he was too insecure.
Zhu Yanshi stopped and turned to look at the shadow behind him.
"What are you doing? Why are you wandering downstairs so late instead of sleeping?"
At this moment, a young man's voice sounded from the balcony on the second floor of the villa.
"Are you planning on trying out for security as your next job? You don't need to practice patrol so early, do you?"
Chen Shiyi was standing at the balcony window on the second floor, wearing a white silk pajamas with a black dog head pattern on it, holding a glass of milk in his hand, with a look of disgust on his face.
Look down.
Zhu Yanshi looked up, and the messy thoughts in his heart were shattered by this sudden sentence, and he could no longer piece together any sadness.
He sighed and stretched.
"The security guards won't do that."
After a pause, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Chen Shiyi. His expression became very serious, he frowned, and even took a few steps back.
He looked terrified.
"Behind you..."
Chen Shiyi didn't expect the other party's sudden move. He got goose bumps on his back. He turned his head in panic, but saw nothing. The man downstairs was still addicted to the show.
He made some random hand gestures and started to perform some kind of shaman dance.
The more I danced, the more eerie the surroundings seemed.
Chen Shiyi knew that a real man shouldn't be afraid of ghosts, but... at this moment, he couldn't be a child...
"Stop jumping!"
Chen Shiyi tried to pretend to be calm, but he couldn't control his body's instinctive reaction.
He was so anxious that he stood on the balcony and stamped his feet.
Zhu Yanshi suddenly bent down and stopped doing those strange movements. Then, his shoulders began to tremble violently.
The hearty laughter climbed up the building to the balcony on the second floor and entered Chen Shiyi's ears.
"Hahahahaha… idiot!"
“…”
Chen Shiyi felt the burning soles of his feet and felt more and more embarrassed.
I couldn't bear it any longer, so I threw the milk in my hand forward and shouted at Zhu Yan -
"Hey! Don't throw objects from high places!"
The milk fell to the ground in front of the boy. The boy standing on the balcony turned and left, slamming the balcony door shut and leaving a vicious remark.
"Just wait!"
Zhu Yanshi found it funny, but fortunately he was the kind of person who would never waste time on internal conflicts.
Disturbed by this relaxed atmosphere, I let myself go and not think about those messy things.
With his hands in his trouser pockets, he walked into the villa gate heartlessly.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a man coming out of the room in the corner of the second floor, holding a pillow. The anger on his face was gone.
He didn't even rush down to vent his emotions. Instead, he jumped up and down under Zhu Yanshi's gaze and stood at the door of Zhu Yanshi's bedroom with a provocative look on his face.
With his chin raised, his lips curled up high.
A real man cannot lose in any round! It is impossible to lose!
She turned around, put her finger on the bedroom door handle, pressed it down, rushed into the bedroom like the wind, and smashed something at Zhu Yanshi's head.
"Who told you to scare me?"
"As punishment, you'll sleep with me tonight!"
