The lights in the magnificent castle were dazzling. Everyone present had pale skin and bloodshot lips. Louis suddenly appeared with a small basket of barbecued pork buns in his hand and sat down in a seat under the gaze of the crowd.
Louis looked at the fragrant buns, then raised his head to look at the guests on both sides of the long table who were dressed in luxurious and old-fashioned clothes, like those in European oil paintings from the 19th century. His eyes drooped, and that familiar feeling of embarrassment came back.
There were unavoidable gazes all around him. If eyes had heat, Louis would feel like he was dehydrated and burnt.
"Little Louis."
When his father's voice came, Louis looked up nervously, only to see a figure in a tuxedo walking towards him. The figure had no face, and there was a huge hollow love heart in place of his head.
"You should eat something."
Louis pursed his lips and used his hair to express his protest.
"Louis, you should eat."
This was his mother's voice. Out of the corner of his eye, Louis saw someone in a dark blue pleated dress walking towards him. It was his mother's voice, with a smaller, complete heart on her head.
Two overlapping heads might just fit perfectly.
Mom spoke again, full of concern: "Don't eat those junk foods, you need to supplement your nutrition."
Dad was also urging: "Eat quickly, you are grown up now, don't let mom worry."
Louis seemed to have returned to his childhood. When his nose was pinched to feed him, his nasal cavity would be blocked, making it difficult for him to breathe, and a large amount of liquid would flow through his mouth into his stomach.
Through his tears he could still see his mother's furrowed brow and his father's sad face.
"I……"
Louis almost stammered: "I don't like it..."
The figures in the shape of mom and dad were getting closer and closer. Louis looked up at his table. The food on the long table was extremely bright, but it was all covered with thick mosaics, like the background in a game bug that was difficult to see directly.
A strong smell wafted over, the smell hidden under layers of mosaics.
Louis knew what those were, but he really had no appetite.
"I do not want……"
"You have to endure it even if you don't want to." Mom said.
"Mom can't bear to see you die."
"Mom, I..."
Louis wanted to argue, but when he looked up and saw his mother's heart-shaped head, he suddenly suppressed the soreness in his throat.
Tears blurred his vision. He wanted to run away, to scream, to push everyone away and run away without a care in the world like he did when he was a child.
But Louis' feet seemed to be rooted, and he couldn't move at all. The buns in his hand exuded a fragrant aroma, but the other guests present ignored it.
"I……"
Louis looked up and suddenly saw a familiar figure through his tears.
The man was dressed in a black formal suit and walked slowly. He was tall and stood out among the guests at the banquet.
Getting closer and closer, Louis saw Rong Yuzhuo's face clearly.
"Small jade bracelet..."
Rong Yuzhuo walked over. Louis's parents didn't move. The three of them sandwiched Louis in the middle. The parents on the side seemed a little wary, and the two huge heart-shaped heads shook slightly.
Rong Yuzhuo stood straight with a clear goal.
A cold hand was placed on Louis' forehead.
In a trance, the words "Let's go" echoed in my mind.
-------------------------------------
Louis was woken up by the scorching sun that day.
The curtains were blown open by the wind, and Louis' pajamas were lifted up a little in his dream. He didn't know how long he was exposed to the sunlight. When he woke up in pain, there was a large red spot on his back.
Louis gasped and ran to the bathroom to apply medicine. For a moment, he thought of the real gaze in his dream. It turned out that it was caused by the sun while he was sleeping.
The next second, the memory began to blur again.
"Little jade bracelet!"
Louis saw the person coming out of the master bedroom again: "Good morning!"
Rong Yuzhuo looked a little listless again, as if he hadn't slept well. The faint dark circles under his eyes made him look a little gloomy.
"Are you suffering from insomnia again?"
Rong Yuzhuo shook his head and did not answer.
Louis wanted to talk about the dream he had just had, but he forgot what it was about. His back was still slightly hot, and the long sleeves hanging lightly on his body seemed a little irritating.
Louis just wanted to go back to his room and take off his clothes.
"Oh yeah, did you see the food I gave you yesterday?"
Rong Yuzhuo nodded: "I ate it, it was delicious, thank you."
Louis's feeding business was successful. Rong Yuzhuo refused several times but to no avail. She had become accustomed to him buying food for her just to watch her eat.
Just don't know why there was only food yesterday and no one waiting.
"If it tastes good, I'll buy you more."
Louis' expression was bright, and he looked happier than if he had eaten it himself. He continued to share excitedly:
"I'm not going out today. Tonight... yes, I'm going to a dinner party tonight. I'll bring the key, so don't wait for me."
Rong Yuzhuo put on his shoes and just said "hmm".
Louis smiled and said, "I'm sure I'll make a lot of friends tonight!"
After saying that, Louis walked into the house awkwardly, not even remembering to close the door. The second bedroom was not big, and the bed was right opposite the door.
Rong Yuzhuo, who was at the entrance, took off his shirt as soon as Louis entered the room. There was a noticeable mottled burn on the lower back, and most of the area was covered with white ointment. From the back, he looked very miserable, but the owner didn't care. After taking off his shirt, he lay on the bed and started playing with his mobile phone.
Rong Yuzhuo withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked out.
Louis, feeling that he had acquired enough social knowledge, planned to get up at five in the afternoon.
Staring at electronic products made his eyes slightly red and his mind unclear. Louis looked in the mirror and saw the person in the mirror looking a little haggard, as if he had slept even less than Rong Yuzhuo in the morning.
He rummaged through his bag for a long time, finally dumping everything out and finally finding a pair of black contact lenses. It took him a few more minutes to put them on. Louis endured the pain and changed his clothes, his body already sweating profusely.
The dinner was scheduled for 5:30 at a restaurant next to the school, and there might be traffic jams at this time. Louis secretly blamed himself for not getting up earlier.
I bent down, put on my shoes, and stood up again. The sports backpack rubbed against the wound on my lower back, and fine sweat broke out from the back of my neck all the way to the top of my head.
Louis thought about the goal that he would achieve in the evening, so he took a deep breath and persevered.
I stretched out my arm, turned the door handle, pushed it down, and the door opened. The wind outside blew in straightly.
Louis shuddered as the cold sweat on his head broke out.
……
The hotel was crowded with groups of students, all of whom were friends with each other. Several colleges had booked the same hotel, making this place that had witnessed the growth of countless students appear vibrant, youthful, and lively.
Rong Yuzhuo ignored the questions from his classmates and his eyes fell on the girl who was leaning over and talking on the phone in the room opposite.
