However, the male protagonist loves the villain

Huo Xiuxun thought that Professor Pei would never know.

In the hug of the tour group for more than ten seconds, he sneaked out and pulled the gate for a few hours.

In the world of Frostfall, time has no speed. The adult Huo Xiuxun curled up as a mushroom on Xingyue's firefly boat. He didn't know how long he sat quietly, but it should have been a long time anyway.

Joy, sadness, all kinds of emotions surged.

He really couldn't resist, so he simply let himself be bitten by various emotions, like drowning in an invisible deep lake and no longer struggled until he finally calmed down, and then he dared to slowly pack up his mood and return to the scene in reality .

When he was released from Pei Lin's arms, Huo Xiuxun found that his palms were sweating a lot.

And Professor Pei is a little bit of a clean freak.

Sure enough, the next second, there was a chill in his hand, and Pei Lin grabbed his paw and took it out of his pocket.

Huo Xiuxun lowered his eyes secretly.

In the end, Pei Lin just grabbed his paw and wiped it on his coat, and stuffed it back after wiping it off.

Huo Xiuxun: "..."

His breathing began to stagnate again, indicating that he was not calm enough in the world of Frost's Fall.Just turning around, Zhao Xinglu, Chu Zhenhuai and Tao Xiaoning were standing behind them at some point, staring at them with interest.

Huo Xiuxun suffered a myocardial infarction for a few seconds.

Tao Xiaoning and the others dared to think about things that he didn't even dare to think about?One by one gossips and stares at them happily, the corners of Hehehe's mouth are cracked up to the ears!

After finally queuing up to the cable car, there is a snow-covered mountain forest below.

There were six seats in the cable car, and Huo Xiuxun was sitting on one side by Pei Lin, while the eyes of the three people on the opposite side continued to blink with caring light.

Huo Xiuxun could only look away and not meet their eyes.

Pei Lin doesn't have common sense anymore, so he won't be a completely insensitive person.Will they be stared at and find that something is wrong, and then abandon him to avoid suspicion.

It was easy to reach the top of the mountain.Incense wafted around, and ancient bells rang again and again. Huo Xiuxun held three sticks of incense and stood in front of the hall for the first time, not knowing what to wish for.

Although he has never believed in God, but because he has too many wishes to be fulfilled, he has been to churches, temples, Taoist temples, and historical sites of gods all over the world for so many years, and he always worships habitually.

Many wishes have been told over and over again, but who knows that they can't remember them all at this moment.

dang dang-

The bell rang again and again, Huo Xiuxun closed his eyes and let the incense ash fall off his fingertips.

This is the first time in his life, standing in front of the gods without inevitable resentment, without inevitable desire, let alone dare to have more wishes.

However, when Pei Lin put his hand in his pocket again when he went down the mountain, he regretted it.

He should obviously wish a lot.

His heart has been desolate for too long, and it has long been the kind of greed that pushes forward. How could he want nothing?Obviously throbbing, longing, never satisfied.

……

After going down the mountain, several people went to eat and drink hot pot together.

Eating hot pot in winter is quite appropriate, but Zhao Xinglu, as a teenager with a strong appetite and a big meat eater, can't control himself from grabbing meat all the time.

The shrimp that Huo Xiuxun specially gave to Pei Linxia was about to be cooked, but Zhao Xinglu snatched it up time and time again.He didn't say anything when the first set was robbed, and he still didn't say anything when the second set was robbed.

In the third set, Huo Xiuxun couldn't bear it anymore, so he beat the table.

Pei Lin couldn't help but smile in his gray eyes.

This stupid seth who is high on attack and low on imitation has finally returned to normal until now.The man was a teenager until his death, and he turned into an ordinary middle school boy, naively grabbing food and fighting with Zhao Xinglu with chopsticks.

The afternoon sun was just right, so we went to various grocery stores together, bought a nice hat for Ning Ning, sat in a daze in the cafe when we were tired, and had a snowball fight at the foot of the mountain together, until we drove home satisfied at dusk.

The city is already full of night.

On New Year’s Eve, most stores are closed, and the whole street presents a festive yet deserted feeling amidst the background of firecrackers and fireworks.Zhao Xinglu and Chu Zhenhuai both smiled and waved and turned to go home. Pei Lin looked back and saw a trace of reluctance hidden on Huo Xiuxun's face.

When Mingming told him that they would play together on New Year's Eve, he still had a look of disdain and reluctance.

The dim neon lights on the street made Pei Lin's heart soften.

In this person's heart, he was actually afraid of being lonely.He stretched out his hand to tighten the fur collar for the boy: "It's okay, Ningning and I will accompany you tonight." I won't let you be alone again.

Huo Xiuxun pursed his lips and nodded, very obedient.

Pei Lin's hands suddenly froze.The few New Year's Eves before this, and the whole life without anyone to accompany.How can a person who is so afraid of loneliness live alone?

……

On New Year's Eve, the road leading to the villa in the suburbs was pitch black, but the small courtyard of the villa was dotted with stars from afar.

Huo Xiuxun was led by Pei Lin to enter through the back door, all the way in a daze.

The new swing, seeing the snowman, the colorful lights under the eaves twine into stars and the moon, and the snow-stained gravel road under the feet is also shining under the cover of these colors, like a bridge in a fairyland.

He lowered his eyes, his heart was slightly bitten.

Professor Pei secretly arranged the small villa for so many days, and everything was indeed breathtakingly beautiful.

It's very "home" and warm, and he likes it very much.

It's a pity that none of this belonged to him, all of this was done by Pei Lin for Ningning.He smiled shyly. He could see everything so good, but he was only in the light of this cute and beautiful girl beside him.

Beside him, the little girl jumped up and down, her voice was crisp and clear: "Brother, let me take some photos for you!"

After saying that, without waiting for a reaction, he started to shoot.Huo Xiuxun was dragged by Pei Lin to sit on the swing, hiding behind the snowman as a prop, and his cheeks were pinched into various strange shapes.

Tao Xiaoning: "Hahaha Jingmei is even more beautiful, the filming is over. Happy New Year, then I will go upstairs first, brother and brother Xiaoxun, let's see each other next year!"

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the little girl jumped back to her room like a rabbit, and closed the door, which was too fast for people to react.

She has been out to play all day, and her mother must be worried, she has to call her to make sure she is safe, and then she has to call the principal of the primary school to say New Year greetings, she is very busy.What's more, she is also in a relationship, of course she knows how annoying light bulbs are!

……gone?

Huo Xiuxun was puzzled.How hard it was for Pei Lin to do all of this, and the protagonist tonight just left?

Frowning and looking at Pei Lin in bewilderment, he saw that the man's gray eyes didn't look lost, but instead had a slight smile, like a river of stars in the night.

His fingertips were slightly hot, and he pulled him upstairs.

Huo Xiuxun didn't move.

He just stared blankly at the soft light in Pei Lin's gray eyes, and suddenly he couldn't suppress the hope in his heart that broke ground and sprouted——

The colorful lights in the house were dotted with stars, and he had a momentary guess.

Perhaps, is there a little possibility.

One percent, one thousandth, even if the probability is so low that it can be ignored.

Subtly, dripping water wears away the stone, and the stone grows flowers.

Just like that night four years ago, he sat numbly in the car with a faint lime fragrance, thinking that life would go on in such a muddle, that hope and redemption would never be possible, and then the car turned the corner of the street, that The man looked at him with gray eyes, said a word, and the whole world came alive again.

he does not know.

The heart wants to sting completely.

Full of unease, the heart tightened, and the blood vessels all over the body were clamoring and twitching.

He looked at Pei Lin with amber eyes, waiting for his sentence, not daring to move a single bit.

He is now 14 years old, and already has the appearance of a tall and handsome boy.No longer a little dinosaur without gender, but always trying to restrain himself, silently beside him, not daring to take a step, not daring to speak, not daring to express.

Not cowardly.

It's that he knows the limits of what he can bear.

Ever since he was a child, he hated Pei Lin for being excellent and for being ruthless, but deep down he always knew that this was nothing more than getting angry and saying grapes were sour when he couldn't eat grapes.

That person is his everlasting little lighthouse hidden in the dark night.

Even if the world is ruthless and his heart has been crushed many times, as long as the lighthouse is not extinguished, he can still survive.

But at the same time, he was really too tired.

Holding the shiny outer shell, the inside is covered with cuts and bruises, which is not human-like, and if it is stabbed again, it will probably die completely.It is absolutely impossible to get up with a smile and get up like a normal person after being rejected with extra strength, and try hard to catch up.

He can't.

So, this is probably a dead end.

Fortunately, Pei Lin has no feelings. He even thought about not saying anything for the rest of his life, just pestering him secretly, raising cats and birds for him silently by his side, cooking for him, talking about literature and technology.

Even if you don't get love, even if you feel a little bit wronged, admit it.

How could a stolen life not be considered a complete life?

At least……

There was a dazzling brightness in front of his eyes.

It was Pei Lin who took him by the hand to go upstairs and pushed open the door.

In the familiar yet unfamiliar small room, on New Year’s Eve, there are candles all over the floor, and the candle shadows are reflected on the roof, matching the house-shaped glass candlesticks on the wall with the elongated spiers of the castle.

For a moment, it was more beautiful than the sky full of stars in Frost's Fall World.

……

It turns out that if you are not in the world of Frost's Fall, time can be frozen in an instant.

In the warm candlelight all over the floor, Huo Xiuxun was in a trance.

He suddenly remembered a certain New Year's Eve in his previous life. He was so lonely, so he sent someone to see what Professor Pei was doing in the apartment thousands of miles away, but the blurry video he got made him dumbfounded.

Pei Lin's house also didn't have any festive atmosphere, not even window grilles and door couplets.

Fireworks were booming outside on New Year's Eve, and he turned on the TV in the darkness, and he ordered a bowl of white and fat dumplings for himself, dipped them in vinegar, peeled the garlic, and then watched TV and ate.

Then, in the second and third years, Professor Pei also lived in the same way.

A person who has neither low taste nor high taste is essentially a person who is out of the interest of life.He was dying of laughter watching the video, and the pleasure of being miserable was born spontaneously. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and thought viciously, one day, he will be caught and taught him what "fun" is.

But now I realize once again that people don't need him to teach at all.

The lighthouse on the shore does not need any traction and instructions, and it can be firm, gentle, and strong enough by itself.

Huo Xiuxun was so stiff that he couldn't move his fingertips, and his nose became sore crazily. After a while, his Adam's apple finally moved.

"Do you know," he said hoarsely, "that with so many candles set out, it's easy to catch fire."

Pei Lin: "Well, I know, it's not an open flame."

As he spoke, he bowed, picked up a candle and put it in his palm. The candle was made of plastic and very light. The orange flame inside was the light, which was very realistic. The wick was swinging to create a flame effect. But not really fire.

Huo Xiuxun remained silent as if he was choking.

After a long while, he stuck his neck again: "I prefer the truth."

Pei Lin: "..."

He continued: "The swing in your yard outside is not properly tied up, which poses a safety hazard. If someone who is heavier steps on it, it will definitely fall over."

"There is also a string of colored lights that is not lit. The series-parallel relationship and mechanics are all physics knowledge from junior high school."

"..."

"Your cactus has been watered too much, and it's wilted. Goji berries...can't be kept outside in such a cold environment. If you continue like this, even the gods will not be able to save you."

"and also."

"Also, even if you do it all over again, it doesn't make sense at all."

"It's already too late."

"You know that I have been to many places in my previous life. I have no shortage of money, I have eaten all the delicious things, and I have played all the interesting things. Now those childish street snacks, picnics, and junior high school students are difficult to understand. literary masterpieces..."

"I don't even care."

"I don't care about anything anymore."

"It's not like replaying it once can erase the past. Just like a hard disk, even if it is formatted, rewritten and overwritten countless times, is it possible to erase the traces that really existed?"

"Things that are dyed black are blackened, and things that are broken are broken. I turn a blind eye to it again, as if it never happened in the past. I don't believe this kind of thing."

"..."

"seth."

Huo Xiuxun didn't answer.

He lowered his head, unable to breathe, bit his lip so hard that it almost bled.

What kind of inferiority is it that can make him talk nonsense like crazy even in the face of the most beautiful candlelight and the best person in the world.

In fact, it is obviously very simple, just like the little green-skinned dinosaur in the past, frankly bend the corners of the eyes and smile.Joyfully ran around the house: "Brother Pei Lin, I really like these—"

Is it difficult, why can't this be done.

"seth."

"Okay, don't cry."

Pei Lin was helpless, he had long been used to some people's insincere words.

"Yes, no matter how many times a hard disk is formatted, the traces of its real existence are still there. But once you put something new in it, and you reopen it, you will see new content, right?"

"It's like this new year. When we do it again, we all do different things. When I think about it later, in addition to the desertedness of the past, there will also be the excitement of going to the mountains to play, eating flower cakes and hot pot together."

"There will be lights in my yard that are missing a thread, swings that can turn over, small plants that almost freeze to death, candles, and..."

He raised his eyes and looked out the window, it looked very cold outside, and the branches looked bare, but the sky full of stars was a kind of diamond blue.

"And all the stars in the sky."

The room was quiet and the candles continued to flicker.

Pei Lin stretched out his hand, and wiped off the salty water stains on the boy's face with his fingertips.

Full of compassion, overflowing with tenderness, helpless.

"Okay, don't cry, wait until tomorrow dawn, and accompany me to repair the lamp and swing, okay?"

"I will move the wolfberry back to the house, and you will help me raise it in the future."

"Okay, be good, don't cry."

"..."

"seth."

Pei Lin sighed, he really couldn't think of more tricks to coax people.I could only rub his cheek again, thought for a while, and leaned over clumsily, and licked lightly on the salty mark.

"..." The touch is slightly different from what I imagined.

The juvenile's cheeks were not exactly the same as those of the adults in the illusion, they were very soft, like peeled eggs.Pei Lin was also a little dazed, just as he was about to take another bite, his wrist was grabbed.

Huo Xiuxun's voice was squeezed out from the depths of his throat, intermittently: "Do you really know... what you are doing?"

How could it be possible not to know, what kind of silly question is this?

Pei Lingang was about to speak, but Huo Xiuxun covered his mouth unexpectedly.

"Don't say anything." His voice trembled, his amber eyes drooped, begging, "Don't say anything."

Pei Lin: "..."

He couldn't keep up with Seth's brain circuit a bit, but he nodded and didn't say anything more when he looked like he was having difficulty breathing, no matter how unbearable it was.

In the light of candlelight that night, some people actually wanted to go downstairs to sleep on the sofa.

The silent Pei Lin grabbed her by the tail abruptly, grabbed her back and put her on the bed, and the night was peaceful.
