abyss rose

Thick clouds, chased by the wind to the distant mountains.

In the morning, a ray of sunlight emerges from the tail of the cloud, lazily passes through the window sill, and falls on the tightly wrapped quilt.

The slightly glaring light made Chu Ci open his eyes a little.

She stared at the morning light in a daze for a while, grabbed the quilt and turned over, taking a deep breath to avoid the light.

The door of the bedroom was ajar, and there was the smell of tomato soup and eggs outside.

No matter how long it has passed, Chai Yuening still only knows how to cook soup, and their meals will only improve when they go to Laoxiang, Liandong or Youlan's house.

Fortunately, a black vine who drank the nutrient solution for an unknown number of years never cared about these things.

What she cares about is that last night, Chai Yuening taught her a set of pre-bedtime exercises for humans.

A few days ago, Chai Yuening took her to Youlan's place and exchanged some old world gadgets for some money. Yulan came up to her and whispered some strange words in her ear.When the sentences were broken down, each sentence could be understood, but when put together, she was a little confused. In the end, she only wrote down one sentence: "You haven't done...exercise before going to bed, have you?"

Seeing Youlan's jaw dropping in surprise, Chu Ci has the right to suspect that Chai Yuening has concealed some important knowledge from him.

Chu Ci: "No, I just go to sleep after washing."

Youlan: "Tsk...Chai Yuening can't do it, you've been together for so long, why hasn't she..."

Youlan's words stopped here, she waved her hand, didn't say any more, just took a deep breath and said, "You have to rush her."

Chu Ci saw a trace of undisguised disappointment and anxiety in Youlan's eyes.

Does this mean that Chai Yuening is not honest enough with her?

He promised to teach her to be a human being, how could he deliberately hide important knowledge from her?

Chu Ci was originally a very tolerant vine, but the matter involved the concealment of someone she trusted, and she couldn't bear it after a few days.

Last night, she ate a bowl of potato soup with some dissatisfaction, and followed Chai Yuening with resentful eyes. After she finished cleaning the soup pot and bowls, she quietly asked: "Chai Yuening, is there anything important to you?" Didn't you tell me the matter?"

Chai Yuening froze for two seconds on the spot, and said with a surprised face: "Ah? No!"

Chu Ci: "Exercise before going to bed."

Chai Yuening: "Huh?!"

Chu Ci: "How do human beings sleep under normal circumstances?"

Chai Yuening: "Under normal circumstances..."

Chu Ci: "I haven't learned it before, don't lie to me, Youlan said that there will be exercise before going to bed."

She said, and added very seriously: "Do you think it's troublesome, so you don't want to teach me? As I said, I want to integrate into human beings. I'm not afraid of this trouble."

In the next second, she saw Chai Yuening's face change and change, and finally there seemed to be a blush like a sunset glow, she swallowed a little, scratched the back of her neck, and then said: "That, that... Neither do I."

"You can't either?" Chu Ci tilted his head, blinked and said, "Then what should we do? We're going to find Boss You..."

"Don't, don't, don't, don't!" Chai Yuening waved his hands again and again, "I should know a little bit, we can figure it out by ourselves."

After that, she began to study hard.

I have to say that human beings are such a strange species that they still need exercise before going to bed.

Since Chu Ci could remember, she had never done such a strange exercise. She didn't even know if Chai Yuening taught her correctly. I was so tense that I didn't dare to speak.

Chai Yuening seemed to whisper something in her ear, but she felt her mind was buzzing, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

In the end, she didn't know how long she had tossed about, but she finally heard what Chai Yuening said in her ear.

"How many times have I said it... If it hurts, you can say it."

The tone was also strange, as strange as this movement teaching.

Every time in the past, when Chai Yuening said these words, there was love for her in his eyes and words.

But this time, there was a strange emotion that she couldn't understand, as if she didn't care if she was really in pain, but just wanted to hear her screaming for pain... Anyway, it was not as gentle as before.

Chu Ci: "Why does it hurt?"

Even if her long, disheveled hair sticks to her cheeks, shoulders and neck, and she loses her usual confidence when speaking, she is still a stubborn black vine.

This does not seem to be a successful lesson. Chai Yuening is obviously a little frustrated. The frustration comes from a plant that humans cannot shake the [-]-meter abyss.

But if it was so easy to give up, Chai Yuening would not be Chai Yuening.

She competed with the little Hei Teng who was actively studying in front of her, until her hands were sore, she said sadly: "Let's do this for today."

Chu Ci felt that his consciousness was about to fall apart, and his whole body was paralyzed on Chai Yuening's body, unable to move, but he still habitually asked in a low voice: "Don't you need to wash it?"

Chai Yuening: "Wash tomorrow morning."

They hugged each other and closed their eyes. Chu Ci was very tired, but he could faintly feel that Chai Yuening was not happy, so he dared not fall asleep.

In the small room, what was clearly audible was their deep breathing from each other.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ci whispered, "You hurt me..."

Two seconds later, Chai Yuening breathed a sigh of relief, and gently rubbed her hair: "Be careful next time."

After the words fell, he hugged her even tighter.

When I woke up, the strange feeling from last night was still lingering in my heart.

Chu Ci wrapped his body in the quilt, staring at the crack of the door silently, as quiet as the old black vine that could not speak.

Not long after, the half-covered door of the bedroom was pushed open, and Chai Yuening came to her with tomato and egg soup.

Chai Yuening asked, "Is it better?"

Chu Ci: "I don't have much strength."

Chai Yuening: "Then eat something first, and I'll accompany you to wash it."

Chu Ci nodded, and with Chai Yuening's help, he put on a thin nightgown, took a short rest after breakfast, walked into the bathroom with a sore waist and weak legs.

The bathtub in the bathroom was sent by Youlan, and the two of them half-lyed in the bathtub together, the bubbles aroused by the surfing mode hit their bodies, washing away the stickiness all over their bodies.

Chu Ci lowered his head the whole time, with a rare blush on his face, and said nothing.

I don't know how long the silence lasted, but Chu Ci suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Don't pinch and bite me next time."

Chai Yuening: "Huh?"

Chu Ci raised his eyes and muttered softly: "It's all marks, it will hurt."

Her voice was the same as before, faint, soft, without much ups and downs, but it was hard to hide the grievance in her heart.

After hearing this, Chai Yuening couldn't help showing a smile that was not a smile: "You also know how to cry out in pain? I thought I had met a real log."

Chu Ci frowned: "Is this why you murdered me last night?"

Chai Yuening: "How can I be mean to you, I clearly care about you, and I even asked you if it hurts."

Chu Ci: "Are you concerned about me? You are doing anything to make me cry. What do you want to prove..."

Chai Yuening: "What do I want to prove?"

Chu Ci: "I don't know, but you must be trying to prove something..."

Chai Yuening carefully examined Chu Ci in front of him with great interest.

Under such gaze, Chu Ci bit his lower lip, turned his head away, and made his own judgment on this strange performance: "There is something wrong with you."

Chai Yuening thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "I'm not right, I really want to prove something."

A trace of surprise flashed in Chu Ci's eyes.

The next second, Chai Yuening leaned towards Chu Ci.

She stared at the long eyelashes trembling slightly with water droplets, like staring at the first blooming stamens after winter and spring, so delicate and beautiful that they never belonged to this rebuilt wasteland.

She leaned forward, silently and lightly, kissed the corner of her eyes, and then touched her lips.

She said that she really wanted to prove something, she didn't succeed last night, and now she has the strength to prove it again.

She picked Chu Ci up from the bathtub, but she didn't know whether it was because Chu Ci was too light, or because she was so strong that it didn't make sense.

"Wait...wait a minute...isn't this exercise before going to bed?"

"It can also be anytime, anywhere."

"It's so difficult, I don't want to learn..."

"The first time is raw and the second time is familiar. If you learn it, it will be you."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Chu Ci felt that he was being bullied.

Chai Yuening just bullied her and didn't understand anything.

She thought that if Youlan asked next time, she would not say anything.
