walk across the bridge of fog

23.

It was raining patteringly outside the window, and the light from the living room faintly penetrated through the crack of the bedroom door, Duanmu was not sleepy in the dark.

Is it because I didn't swim today?Or was it because someone fell asleep outside the door?Or did the light coming through the crack of the door interfere with my sleep?What is this Yu Xiaobu going to do?What is she doing with the light on?Why are you not sleeping?

Duanmu wanted to go out to see what happened, but held back.She couldn't let Yu Xiaobu find out that she was insomnia, and she didn't know how this little girl would guess.

Just now in the living room, when Duanmu was delivering the quilt to Yu Xiaobu, Yu Xiaobula stopped him, "Duanmuqian, tell me, how bad was your injury at that time? Don't be angry, I hate it the most. Women suffer, and every time I see your arm, I feel very distressed, so I work extra hard to teach you how to swim, and I want you to protect yourself.”

Duanmu could only silently let Xiaobu stroke the scar on his arm for a while.This is the first time Duanmu has faced such a straightforward expression since he was injured. She is not used to it, and it seems inappropriate even to get angry. After all, Xiaobu's tone is surprisingly sincere.

It's terrible.Can't you be more reserved?Everyone has room to maneuver, at least half-jokingly, to make others feel more at ease.

After Duanmu fled back to his bedroom, he didn't dare to go out to provoke Xiaobu again.

Looking at the time on the phone, it's past 12 o'clock, what is this Yu Xiaobu still doing in the living room?There is no sound and the lights are not turned off.Are you still looking at your phone?

Duanmu turned his back to the door, pulled the quilt hard again, buried half of his head in the quilt, and began to count.

Duanmuqian slept and woke up all night, and his dreams were intermittent and messy.

At 06:30 in the morning, Duanmu woke up completely.When I opened my eyes, I looked at the crack of the door first, and the light was still on!Could it be that Yu Xiaobu forgot to turn off the lights?

Duanmu angrily put on his nightgown and opened the door to see what happened.

Yu Xiaobu was sleeping soundly with one long leg straddling the quilt, his face was quiet and silly, and his mobile phone was thrown on the carpet.

Duanmu stood beside Yu Xiaobu for a while, ready to retreat quietly to his bedroom.She didn't turn off the lamp on the small table next to the sofa.Since she can sleep soundly all night in the light, there is no need to turn off the light for Xiao Bu, or maybe she sleeps with the light on because she is afraid of the dark?A person who can get dizzy from a sip of wine can also be afraid of the dark at night.

Just when Duanmu retreated into the bedroom and closed the door softly, Coach Xiaobu suddenly opened his eyes, "Good morning."

"Woke you up?" Duanmu asked a little apologetically.

"It didn't wake me up, it woke me up. I was still dreaming just now, when a gust of fragrant wind blew across my face, I was awakened by the fragrance."

While talking, Xiao Bu climbed out of the bed, ran into Duanmu's bedroom, and glanced at the uncluttered bed, "Are you going to sleep? Can I go in and lie down for a while? This sofa is worse than I thought. Much more comfortable. I'm exhausted."

Duanmu grabbed Xiaobu's pajamas, "How dare you!"

"Ah," Xiao Bu shrank his neck, "Okay, I don't dare." Then he walked back to his sofa, "It's really stingy."

"Don't climb on the sofa anymore, go wash up quickly. I'll get you something to eat, and you go home immediately after eating." Duanmu ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"What's wrong? Get angry? How can you treat your best trainer with that attitude?"

"I only have one coach, and at best and at worst it's you. Hurry up."

"Alright then, pretend I didn't say anything." After Xiao Bu finished speaking, he happily ran into the bathroom.

Just as Duanmu walked to the refrigerator, Xiaobu's voice came from the bathroom, "Duanmuqian, Duanmuqian!"

"what?"

"What, I forgot to take the aunt's towel." Xiaobu opened a crack in the door with a little shyness, "It's in the small pocket of my backpack."

It was the first time Duanmu heard the term "aunt's towel" used in this way, and he understood it.She smiled, ran to find Xiaobu's backpack, and then stuffed it in through the crack of the door.

Duanmu didn't make breakfast right away, but stood in the middle of the living room.She felt that the whole room was full of life.I am used to the deserted mornings, and now I feel very special, chaotic but energetic.

"Didn't sleep well at night? Why do you have dark circles under your eyes?" At the dining table, Xiao Bu looked at Duanmu's face and asked with concern.

"It's all because of you. Why don't you turn off the lights at night?" Duanmu became familiar with Xiaobu's noise.

"Fell asleep while playing with the phone." Xiao Bu asked puzzledly, "What does it have to do with you if I don't turn off the lights? I didn't turn on the lights in your bedroom."

"How can you sleep with such a bright light coming through the crack of the door?" People who sleep well really don't understand the suffering of others.

"Then you go out and turn off the lights, why don't you have to lose sleep all night?"

"How do I know what you're doing outside?"

"What can I do on your sofa? You are too ridiculous a psychiatrist."

"What's funny about me, I'm never used to people sleeping outside my door."

"I didn't sleep outside your door, I slept on your sofa."

"Anyway, I'm not used to people in the room, and I can't sleep when there are people in the room."

"I'm not in your room, I'm in the living room, I'm on the sofa."

"Okay, okay, anyway, you are not allowed to sleep on my sofa in the future."

"Okay, then I'll sleep on your bed next time." After saying this, Yu Xiaobu quickly stuffed the fried egg into his mouth.Lowering his head, he giggled.A piece of egg white was still exposed outside the lips, shaking non-stop.
