captured by your prey

"Do you think it's so easy to chase your dreams? Seeing your sister clamoring for painting, isn't it that you can't even afford food now!"

Well then, I'll go to work in the company...

"Did you see the homeless man under the overpass on the way back today? If your mother and I die, this house will belong to your brother. Think about it for yourself. Don't let yourself have no place to live in the future." , and have to rely on digging through trash cans to eat."

no, don't want to...

"Do you think it's so easy to make money from work? Now we are supporting you, and you will know when you come to society."

Although Zhou Sheng never had the feeling of loathing her family, she moved out very early to live alone. Perhaps because of the atmosphere in the conservative family, Zhou Sheng's departure seemed to be a matter of letting nature take its course. inconsequential.

When he arrived at the company, Zhou Sheng did feel difficulties.She couldn't forget her father's voice, and if she had to ask herself, she would agree with what her father said from the bottom of her heart—she didn't want to make her life miserable.

If you didn't like someone when you were young, you can stop getting along with that person, but you can't do it in society.Zhou Sheng is really not good at communicating with people, she just talks as usual, but sometimes the face of the opposite person will slowly change when they hear it, and they won’t tell her what’s wrong, they just don’t contacted and communicated.When people get along with each other, as long as there is a piece of paper separated, it seems that they will never pierce it again, as if they are separated forever.

When asked, the other party would also say: "Because there is no need to pierce."

Zhou Sheng knew that she was not good at socializing, she was always afraid of others looking at her, she didn't know what she did wrong again.So she slowly learned to hide herself and do her own thing.Because she was too afraid of being hated by others, she didn't get too close to other people from the beginning, and naturally few people would get too close to such a person who didn't show anything.

By the time she reaches the middle and high level of the company, she will already be able to work smoothly, and she doesn't need to worry about the reasons that made her choose this job.But Zhou Sheng was still alone, repeating her boring but safe day 360 five times without saying a word.

If not...

"You have your own personality, but if you are too individual, you will suffer in society."

She had heard countless people say such things to her sister who insisted on learning painting, and she couldn't find any reason to refute it. After that, her stubborn sister was getting worse day by day.

When talking about herself with Xie Xiyuan that day, she suddenly remembered that she was not what she is now a long, long time ago.It's just that if you persist in that way, you'll be like your own sister.

"Although I am not qualified to talk about your lives with my qualifications, I found that you all seem to think that social rules and your own personality are two incompatible existences."

"It's weird, it doesn't make sense at all, you're talking like once we're angry, we'll never be happy or sad again. Would you? No way, it's just how we are at different times and on different occasions , not what we will always be, I was angry this morning, but that's not why I'm not happy tonight... Sorry, am I being too arrogant when I say this, maybe you guys do have difficulties that I don't know about. "

Every time Zhou Sheng said "you are still young", Xie Xiyuan would show an expression that he would not show normally for a moment.

Xie Xiyuan's independent rules of handling things are obviously different from others, but it doesn't make people feel uncomfortable.

"So in your eyes, am I a childish ghost? Because you said that you don't actually like children, so I thought maybe you said that because there is a childishness in me that makes you uncomfortable."

"No, it won't..."

She said that Xie Xiyuan was young because compared to herself who was more than ten years older than her, Xie Xiyuan was indeed a young man.

But to be naive, she really didn't feel that way. The first impression Xie Xiyuan gave to the people around him was always that he was a very well-behaved junior, and he was easy to get along with when working together, and didn't need too much care.

Yes, she is a real delight.

So much so that I accepted her unconsciously.Zhou Sheng stretched out his hand to gently cover Xie Xiyuan's already cold hand, and the last drop of the medicine bottle flowed into the infusion tube. Zhou Sheng raised his hand to greet the nurse on the side, and the nurse nodded to indicate that she would come over in a while.

"Agaki..."

"A Yuan, you've finished your injection, we can go back." She woke Xie Xiyuan up.

Xie Xiyuan opened his eyes and didn't sit up right away, instead he stuck to Zhou Sheng's body even more, and hugged her tighter.When she moved like this, because the medicine in the infusion tube was finished and the medicine bottle was removed, the blood in the blood vessel flowed out when her arm was raised.

Seeing this, Zhou Sheng quickly grabbed her and told her to put her hands flat again.

Xie Xiyuan seems to like to hug her like this every time he is half asleep and half awake, maybe it is Xie Xiyuan's habit, Zhou Sheng thought so.

"Where is your home? I'll take you back..."

After they came out of the hospital with the medicine, Zhou Sheng asked her this, Xie Xiyuan nodded in response, she felt a little better after sleeping for an hour, and after the fever subsided, she also had a little appetite, continue Eating what Zhou Sheng brought her earlier.

The place where Xie Xiyuan lived was a little far from the urban area, but the road conditions were smooth and it didn't take much time to drive there at night.She lives in an old-fashioned residential complex that looks very simple from the outside. Because the floors are not high, the top floor is eleven floors. In recent years, elevators have been added one after another.

Xie Xiyuan lives on the tenth floor. The house is not small, but there is almost no big white wall in the whole house, or a whole wall of storage shelves and glass cabinets, or hanging paintings, curtains and ornaments. The room is dim and yellow. Warm lights—this room is indeed Xie Xiyuan’s style, and there are some interesting little things, many of which are handmade.

Zhou Sheng sat down on the sofa, and there was a huge whale doll next to it. Xie Xiyuan said that there was actually a zipper in its mouth, and the whole person could get in after it was unzipped. At first, it was a sleeping bag.On the shelf next to it are some wood carvings of animals, some of which are half-finished.There is also a shelf dedicated to a row of snacks, and she arranges them from left to right according to her preference.In front of the sofa is a very large projection screen, and under the coffee table there is a bunch of glasses in a bamboo basket. Xie Xiyuan pointed to them with his chin and said, the projector was specially replaced a while ago. If you want, this can be used to watch 3D movie of.

After returning to this place, she suddenly seemed to have a lot of things she wanted to tell Zhou Sheng.

"Do you live alone?"

"Yeah—" Xie Xiyuan looked at her with a natural expression.

Zhou Sheng originally thought that Xie Xiyuan would live with his family, but in fact, Xie Xiyuan told her with a smile, of course he has always lived here by himself, occasionally friends would come to play, plus his hobby There are more things to do, so the house is bigger. "Because there are so many things."

Zhou Sheng wanted to ask her something else, but he still didn't say anything.

Xie Xiyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down on the sofa, which happened to be pillowed on Zhou Sheng's lap, and looked at her: "Tonight, stay here and accompany me, okay?"

Before Zhou Sheng could speak, Xie Xiyuan turned over and hugged her waist: "Well, you see, I'm sick—"

Simply cheating.

Zhou Sheng wanted to laugh, and replied softly that he couldn't hear it, and he was really worried that if this person burned again in the middle of the night, he might not take care of himself.Xie Xiyuan already knew that she agreed, so he sat up and went back to the bedroom to take out a neatly folded dress: "I originally asked someone to bring this to me two days ago, but he bought it too small. I'm not very comfortable in it, so I guess you're just fine..."

"Other toiletries that need to be used are already prepared in the bathroom, so it doesn't matter if you can use them directly."

Zhou Sheng took it over. "Why do you seem to be ready?"

Xie Xiyuan smiled.

"Occasionally, friends will come to play."

When Xie Xiyuan came out of the bathroom wiping his wet hair, Zhou Sheng was already lying on the bed, flipping through the messages on his phone.

Xie Xiyuan climbed up and rolled over to Zhou Sheng's side to stick to her.

Zhou Sheng looked at her as if, and said, "Wipe your hair dry, it's cold, you're already sick so don't catch a cold anymore."

"Okay, I'll dry it later, and lie down first."

Seeing her lying motionless by his side, Zhou Sheng stretched out a hand to grab her towel, spread it on her hair and wiped it.As if she was touching her head, she rubbed her wet hair bit by bit. When she finished answering all the emails that should be answered with her other hand, she realized that the person who just said "go dry my hair in a while" The person is still lying beside him.

After chasing her again, Xie Xiyuan got up from the bed with his mouth puckered.

After urging the person to leave the room, Zhou Sheng suddenly realized that although it was the first time for her to stay at Xie Xiyuan's house, she didn't feel uncomfortable or alienated. Xie Xiyuan's room was not big, with many furnishings, but the layout Well-organized, most of them are made of wood and fabrics, plus warm lights, the house looks very warm.

Before going to bed, the two turned off the lights and got under the quilt, Xie Xiyuan reached out and rubbed Zhou Sheng's shoulder. "Will you be tired?"

She didn't forget that she fell asleep with someone else's pillow in the hospital, and her shoulders were pressed there motionless, of course it would be sore.As Xie Xiyuan guessed, Zhou Sheng told her: "It's okay."

It was because she was always so silent that she was bullied by people like Lin Rui.

"Thank you for being with me today, you are so kind." In the dark, Xie Xiyuan smiled at the people beside her.

"No, I don't..." is not good.

Xie Xiyuan interrupted her, "I don't care, I don't care what you think, this matter is what I say!"

"Okay, okay...you have the final say." Zhou Sheng could only answer her.

Only then was she satisfied, and the two of them were silent for a while, Xie Xiyuan suddenly called out: "Ah Sheng."

"Ok?"

"It's past twelve, happy birthday."

On the last day of February, if she didn't ask, Zhou Sheng would have to celebrate his own birthday.Since she will always be bullied, she might as well occupy this position.Xie Xiyuan thought so.

She leaned over to Zhou Sheng, put her arms around her, and buried herself in her arms.
