Chapter 27: Tube Building (Twenty-Seven) Synaesthesia
Maybe it was the nightmares of the past few days, or maybe it was the fear that something might happen to Chen Si, but when Wen Yin returned to the tube building, it was still dead silent.
The middle-aged man who was the only one who had seen Xiaotuan being carried away by Shen Sinian, had completely forgotten about seeing Xiaotuan when he woke up after sleeping for most of the day.
Wen Yin returned to her room and quietly flipped through the newspaper she had just bought.
The paper smelled of ink and was dated November 7th.
She read it from beginning to end and found no information about Xiaotuan's disappearance.
[In the past, Xiaotuan had already died and been buried last night, so the other party could have openly reported him missing.]
[But now, Xiaotuan's whereabouts have become a guillotine hanging over their heads...]
Wen Yin tapped her fingertips lightly on the newspaper a few times and turned her head to look out the window at the bright sunshine.
[That's enough to give them a headache.]
-
Wen Yin didn't go out afterwards.
When it was almost dark, she simply opened the window and softly called out "Awu", and a familiar black shadow quietly slipped in from the window.
The black shadow wrapped around Wen Yin's ankle several times, and was about to wrap Wen Yin in its darkness like yesterday, but was interrupted by Wen Yin's voice.
"Awu," Wen Yin reached out and tapped the dark shadow that was entwined with her, "Can you please do me another favor today?"
Something slippery licked Wen Yin's fingertips, and the black shadow was pulled into a black puppy.
But this time the puppy that appeared was very normal, with one head and four legs, and its fluffy tail was wagging towards Wen Yin very happily.
"Woof!"
The puppy barked and tilted its head to rub Wen Yin's trouser leg.
"Awu must know where Zhou He's husband is, right?"
Wen Yin squatted down and touched the puppy's head.
The puppy blinked.
"Okay, Ah Wu, after he falls asleep, I'll take him to that mud pit yesterday and let him atone for his sins like Chen Si did. Is that okay?"
The puppy's wagging tail paused for a moment, as if it understood the meaning of Wen Yin's words.
Soon it started shaking happily again and licked Wen Yin's palm quickly.
Wen Yin didn't get angry, she just patted its head soothingly, her voice exceptionally gentle.
"Go ahead, and I'll give you a reward when I come back."
When the puppy heard the word "reward", its eyes suddenly became unusually bright. It quickly circled around Wen Yin several times, and finally barked twice and rushed towards the window, quickly disappearing from Wen Yin's sight.
[Host, what reward do you want to give? ? ? ?]
028 also became curious. It couldn’t be dog food, right?
Wen Yin stood up and took a look upstairs. The light in room 601 was on, and the landlord was at home.
She looked away and closed the window: [Let me think about it first.]
-
Having slept for too long during the day, Wen Yin still felt no sleepiness until midnight, so she had to turn on the desk lamp and lean against the head of the bed to read.
These were a few books she had casually bought at a roadside newsstand during the day, intending to use them to understand the customs and culture of this small world.
Only when I opened it did I realize that although the cover of this book looks very normal, the content is too open.
Seeing Wen Yin's frown, 028 also came over to take a look, and then said in surprise: [Host, do you like this too?]
028 Just a glance is enough to identify the keywords. The book in Wen Yin's hand is obviously a native color text.
It's still a multi-person color article.
Wen Yin continued to flip through the pages: [What does "也" mean?]
028: [I've recently added a lot of literature to my knowledge base, and among the literature that's popular among humans, there are quite a few that contain content like this~]
It took Wen Yin a long time to react, then he threw the book in his hand onto the desk and rubbed his temples helplessly.
[Deleted.]
[Delete now.]
[You don't need to add this to your knowledge base.]
[ah? ]
028 A doubtful electronic child's voice came.
[Why? ]
Wen Yin leaned against the bed and sighed, not knowing how to explain this to a system.
[Your Lord God told you to cooperate with me, right?]
[Uh-huh! ]
[Then you should delete all these documents.]
[Okay, host.]
028 still remembered the Lord's command. It quickly packed up and deleted the things that took up a lot of its memory, and replied: [Host, I deleted it.]
Wen Yin nodded and looked at the time. It was already past midnight.
She was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep when she suddenly heard rustling sounds coming from under the windowsill.
Wen Yin turned her head and saw a sticky black shadow crossing the tiny gap and crawling towards the edge of the bed in the dim light.
It’s Awu.
Wen Yin sat up a little. It was a little cold, so she kept her legs in the quilt and didn't get out of bed.
She watched as the dark shadow continued to stretch and finally turned into the appearance of a young man.
But strangely, he was only wearing a shirt and no pants.
"Where are the pants?"
Wen Yin had seen this slender and well-proportioned young boy's skeleton several times, and was at least slightly immune to it, so she did not scream in the dark.
"The pants are too big..."
Ah Wu said softly: "It's so troublesome to wear it."
The young man stood by the bed, revealing his straight and slender legs. His black shirt was still unbuttoned and hung loosely on his body.
The superior shoulder and neck lines were exposed to Wen Yin's sight, like a peacock deliberately spreading its tail in the middle of the night.
"I have already completed the task you mentioned..."
A Wu walked forward with his bare feet, a little closer to Wen Yin. He seemed to be dissatisfied with the condescending perspective of looking down at Wen Yin, so he squatted down again and leaned half on the edge of Wen Yin's soft bed.
He leaned on his elbows and looked up at her, his voice soft and lingering.
"Sister, what is the reward you are going to give me?"
The boy's pupils were dark and deep, and after staring at each other for a long time, Wen Yin felt a familiar dizziness.
She had seen the same black vortex that seemed to be drowning her in the eyes of the doctor and the landlord many times.
Wen Yin glanced casually at the closed door and suddenly smiled gently.
Under Awu's astonished gaze, she reached out and covered his exceptionally dark pupils.
There was an itch in the palm of her hand brought by the blinking eyelashes. Wen Yin leaned forward slightly and placed a gentle kiss on A Wu's forehead.
The moment the soft lips touched the slightly cool skin, the young man's body suddenly stiffened and he stood there in a daze.
After a long while, Ah Wu's slightly trembling voice sounded in disbelief.
"Sister...sister?"
The eyelashes on the palm of the hand fluttered in a hurried and rapid manner, showing the owner's panic.
He had completely lost his usual fearless look that seduced Wen Yin.
"This is a reward."
Wen Yin slightly distanced herself from him, but her palm was still covering A Wu's eyelashes.
"A reward for Wu."
The young man was still kneeling stupidly beside Wen Yin's bed, but his neck and earlobes had already turned red.
He suddenly raised his hand and held Wen Yin's hand that was covering his eyelashes.
He rubbed her palm with an affectionate look, and finally, with trembling eyelashes, he placed a pious kiss on her palm.
"Sister, I'm so happy," Ah Wu looked up, "They always say that I'm the product of hatred and despair, but just now, I felt like I was loved."
"Sister," the young man stood up and held Wen Yin's hand tightly, "Can you kiss me again?"
He tilted his head, his round eyes sparkling in the dim light like a brilliant obsidian: "The feeling of being loved is so special."
At this moment, Wen Yin's heart really softened under the young man's expectant gaze.
She ignored the message from 028 that there was someone outside the door. She just moved her fingertips and touched Awu's eyebrows, which still had a childish aura and a hint of sharpness.
Moving closer, Wen Yin kissed A Wu's brow again through a strand of hair hanging down from his forehead.
As the warm breath and touch of human beings fell, the tightly closed door made a slight click, which was particularly noticeable in the quiet night.
A Wu didn't move, but Wen Yin raised her eyes and met the landlord's deep eyes behind the open door in the dim light.
Looking further back, she could see the neighbor doctor looking at her with deep eyes through the lenses.
“Oh no…”
The young man who was kissed sighed and gently put his arms around Wen Yin's neck. The clear and crisp voice of the young man drifted into Wen Yin's eardrums.
"I forgot they were empathic... Now they're here..."
Ah Wu rubbed Wen Yin's cheek affectionately: "Sister, what should we do?"
!!!
028 was shocked by the direction of the plot.
It looked at the two ghosts at the door with not-so-pleasant expressions, and then looked at the host and Awu who were in an intimate posture beside the bed.
His gaze finally fell on the book on the desk that Wen Yin had casually thrown away.
028 looked at the open page of text for a few seconds, chose to remain silent as if thinking about something, and then dived into Wen Yin's consciousness.
It trusts the host and decides not to disturb the host.
As Ah Wu finished speaking, the room fell into an eerie silence.
"Mr. Song, Dr. Shen, isn't this inappropriate for you to do?"
Wen Yin pulled away A Wu's hand that was still on her shoulder, and leisurely straightened the young man's open collar.
"If you suddenly appear, it will scare people."
After saying that, she used her fingertips to exert a little force and pushed away Awu who was still trying to stick to her.
Ah Wu, who was just immersed in the joy of being loved, was ruthlessly pushed away, and sadness and loneliness immediately welled up in his eyes.
"Sister, don't you love me anymore?"
"But you just..."
"Shhh."
Wen Yin raised her hand to make a silent gesture, then looked towards the door: "You said they are all here, we can't do this anymore."
A Wu turned around following Wen Yin's gaze and met two pairs of equally deep eyes.
They stepped into the room one after another under the young man's gaze. Shen Sinian, who was one step behind, even closed the door considerately.
The sound of the lock closing with a click completely isolates the indoor and outdoor areas.
Under the illumination of the warm-colored desk lamp, the slender figure cast countless interlaced black shadows on the mottled wall, making the already narrow room visually crowded.
Even the air seemed a little thinner because of them.
Someone spoke slowly, his tone as calm as the surface of frozen water, but it seemed to hide infinite undercurrents.
"Wen Yin, you are biased."
