summer rot

He didn't discover something, he finally decided to face this matter.

Zhou Xiangxing glanced at the elevator floor numbers that were climbing steadily, and he could feel his boyfriend's hand slowly lifting, approaching his neck.

There are his arteries there, and it is said that as long as it is gently scratched, it can leave a large-scale splatter of blood on at least two walls of this elevator, and it is no problem to splatter three or four meters.

He also thought of Jiang Mengyuan telling him today, "At that time he wanted to stab my hand".

So he took a step back.

But Li Zhi didn't stop because of his retreat, the hand was raised too slowly and steadily, without any human trembling, as if giving him a chance.

This made Zhou Xiangxing feel like he was about to stop breathing.

"Stop, Li Zhi." He subconsciously said.

Li Zhi stopped immediately.

The elevator opened on the top floor with a ding-dong sound.

"I want to go home." Zhou Xiangxing didn't dare to look away, but pretended to be calm and said, "Go press the elevator."

Li Zhi turned his head and obediently pressed the 11th floor button.After pressing, he turned around and raised his hand to show Zhou Xiangxing his empty palm.

"Very good." Zhou Xiangxing couldn't help swallowing, and the other party's visual focus immediately fell on his throat.

Somewhat dangerous, he turned around, continued to pay attention to his boyfriend from the corner of his eye, and asked unintentionally, "You said before, what do you do for work?"

Policemen.

"...Barber." Li Zhi thought for a long time before answering, and then added: "I recently changed my place of work."

Zhou Xiangxing curled up his fingers: "Did you change your job in a barber shop, or did you switch from a police station to a barber shop?"

As if surprised by his straightforwardness, Li Zhifa was stunned for a while, then stroked his hair and wrapped the silver-white strands around his fingertips: "Did I say I was a policeman?"

Zhou Xiangxing didn't answer.

Li Zhi then explained that he could do everything, and he could do everything, so he changed jobs frequently—if Zhou Xiangxing didn't like it, then he wouldn't change it in the future. He really wasn't lying, he would never deceive Zhou Xiangxing.

But these words are heard in the ears, which is basically equivalent to confessing sin.

The elevator stopped on the eleventh floor, and he couldn't wait to get out of the narrow elevator room.Her boyfriend followed behind him step by step, without unnecessary movements, but Zhou Xiangxing could feel that his back was being stared at, and a series of goosebumps slowly rose up.

When he got home, he threw his clothes on the sofa: "Can you cook today?"

The clock on the wall ticked away.Hearing this sentence, Li Zhi raised his head to recognize it for a while, then looked at the sky outside the window, and said: "I have already missed the time when I should feel hungry."

Zhou Xiangxing said, "I'm hungry."

Didn't you just finish eating?Li Zhi frowned slightly, but walked straight into the kitchen without saying anything.

Zhou Xiangxing opened a bottle of ice soda, raised one hand to his mouth, and heard the rustling of the bubbles. He didn't drink, so he sat on the sofa and watched.

He saw Li Zhi walk to the refrigerator in style, take out a large piece of meat from it, and put it on the chopping board.Turn on the gas stove again, add water to the pot, and reach out to put the meat down.

This piece of meat is expensive.Zhou Xiangxing's eyebrows twitched: "Cut a small piece, I can't eat that much."

Li Zhi paused with his hand, oh, put it back on the chopping board, and picked up a kitchen knife beside him.

He touched the meat that hadn't defrosted at all, as if hesitating why the texture was different from what he usually eats, but under Zhou Xiangxing's watchful eye, he still raised the kitchen knife and chopped it hard.

In the silent night, his house made a loud noise.

Zhou Xiangxing didn't have time to stop it, he just felt the sound echoing repeatedly in his ears, on the side of the stove, in the floor, and in the ceiling.It can be said that there was a dead silence in his heart, as if the knife cut off all the curves on his electrocardiogram.

If the knife is cut on him.

Zhou Xiangxing evaluated it in his heart, then his bone fracture must be very smooth.

Then, Li Zhi, who didn't notice anything wrong, threw a smaller piece into the pot. The water didn't boil and the meat didn't melt, so he just stood there and waited.After the water was bubbling and bubbling, he stretched out his hand, abruptly put his hand into the pot, and fished out the meat.

"I rely on."

Zhou Xiangxing finally couldn't hold back his swearing, stood up and rushed over.The meat was not cooked at all, he pinched Li Zhi's wrist and shook it several times before letting Li Zhi let go.Then he used this movement to check his boyfriend's right hand back and forth - such boiling hot water, it should be unbearably painful to put one's hand into it.

But Li Zhi's hand was intact, without any trace of burns, not even red.

He looked sideways into the pot that hadn't been turned off, and even in summer, he could clearly see the streams of water vapor on the bubbling hot water.

"Aren't you in pain?" This abnormality made his mind a little confused.

Li Zhi looked at him seriously, as if he didn't know what he did wrong again.

But he must have done something wrong.

He must have done something wrong to make Zhou Xiangxing show such an expression.So following Zhou Xiangxing's gaze, Li Zhi glanced into the pot, then another, and then suddenly realized something, and shook off her boyfriend's hand: "I——I didn't put my hand in just now!"

He flapped his left hand over the pot again and again, eagerly proving: "Look, it's so fast... It looks like it's in the pot, but it's not!"

Zhou Xiangxing looked at the fanned water vapor and took a step back quietly.

In such an atmosphere of silent stalemate, Li Zhi was obviously at a loss. He picked up the meat that fell in the pool: "Do you want to eat it?"

Red and white, too born to be born again.

Zhou Xiangxing didn't even need to hesitate: "I won't eat."

Li Zhi sighed slowly, holding such a small piece of meat, he didn't know what to do.

In the end, Zhou Xiangxing was the first to sigh.He looked at his boyfriend who had been with him for three years. Although moving to his house only happened a year ago, in the eyes of Zhou Xiangxing, who has always known restraint, being able to invite the other party to his private territory is already a complete A signal of calm to the other party.

But the other party's response was concealment, which made Zhou Xiangxing unable to bear it: "Is there anything you want to confess to me?"

Li Zhi asked, "Are you angry?"

Zhou Xiangxing said, "No."

Li Zhi hangs his head, what is that because of the wrong steps in his cooking?Because he didn't make something Zhou Xiangxing could eat?Or...he didn't dare to think about the most pessimistic possibility, so he could only ask, "Then I'll eat it?"

Zhou Xiangxing felt really angry now, he glanced at the piece of meat that was probably still frozen inside, and said, "Okay."

Originally, what he said was angry.

Seeing how Li Zhi lowered his head and began to bite without hesitation, he was still thinking, let Li Zhi taste what he made.

It wasn't until five seconds passed that the imaginary bah bah bah sound didn't come, and things became weird.In just a few breaths, Li Zhi has already chewed to the innermost layer, and the frozen water in his mouth makes a creaking sound, which is similar to the popular on the Internet, feeding pet cats and dogs to eat raw meat and jelly liver. It feels exactly the same.

In the end, Li Zhi licked his hands, showing a disliked expression.Looking at Zhou Xiangxing, his expression was a little better.

With that look, it seems that the person in front of him is the feast he really likes.

Zhou Xiangxing struggled several times before he could speak: "...Are you really, okay?"

The dark eyes did not move.

"Li Zhi." He asked earnestly again, and all the strange things came to his mind: "Is there anything you are hiding from me?"

This sentence seemed to have hit Li Zhi's pain point.His facial expression quickly collapsed, becoming extremely indifferent and calm, his black eyes locked on Zhou Xiangxing.

This kind of Li Zhi is very strange. Finally, Zhou Xiangxing remembered what those eyes looked like—a few years ago, when he was following the trend, he raised a lizard, which was so dark and emotionless, it locked the prey tightly. appearance.

Li Zhi, who no longer pretends to be well-behaved, is scary.

The stopwatch suddenly clicked, and the pan on the gas stove sizzled.

Li Zhi turned and turned off the fire.

Again he asked the question that hadn't been answered in the elevator.

"Xiang Xing, what did you find?"

"..."

Zhou Xiangxing began to try to move out of the kitchen, but as soon as he took a step, Li Zhi's right eye quickly looked at his moving foot.

Only the right eye.

Li Zhi turned his head completely, revealing his left eye that was still staring at Zhou Xiangxing's face.He approached his lover step by step, at a very slow speed, like a lump of flesh crawling slowly under his feet, instead of moving his feet alternately.

And asked for the third time: "Xiang Xing, what did you find?"

There was only an embrace between them.

Zhou Xiangxing hardly dared to catch his breath. At such a close distance, he was still in the mood to see more things that he hadn't been able to discover before.He found that there was no sound on Li Zhi's body, whether it was the sound of breathing or the sound of his heart beating.

Li Zhi's chest was rising and falling, that's right, but that rising and falling was more like a kind of peristalsis than breathing.

And that hair.

Zhou Xiangxing's eyes fell on the silver-white hair that had always attracted him. Under the light, that beautiful long hair looked even more crystal clear.Different from the dry and dry appearance of ordinary people after bleaching and dyeing, this kind of hair is smooth and even holy.

However, at this moment, the holy long hair is automatic without wind.

—That's not hair.

Zhou Xiangxing, who had received so much information at once, felt numb and stiff, and could only continue to observe and reason mechanically:

That's not human hair, it's alive, it's extremely thin, and it can't help wriggling...Is it a bug?Or a Medusa-like little snake?

He thought how often he couldn't help braiding this long hair with his fingers.

He thought that what he thought he was smoothing a piece of silk was actually a living, self-moving cell running through his fingers.The hot pot in the stomach began to feel a little uncomfortable.

He finally found out—the boyfriend might be more than just psychologically strange.

Is he really human?

But these questions are not important anymore, what is important now is what Li Zhi wants to do to him.

Zhou Xiangxing didn't show it because of his subconscious restraint since childhood.

His expression was calm, as always, as if he was not looking for survival opportunities for himself, but was talking about an official business: "No, go to sleep."

Only the voice is dry.

Li Zhi still stared at him closely.

"Just to test you, it seems that you really have a secret from me." Zhou Xiangxing kissed him naturally, and walked out: "If you don't sleep, I have to sleep. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Through the full-length mirror outside the door, he saw that the person behind him took a long time before touching the part where he was kissed.

"I can't say..." Li Zhi whispered, "You don't want to hear it."

Zhou Xiangxing heard it, but he could only pretend he didn't hear it, and continued walking towards the bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Zhou Xiangxing began to think.In fact, he felt that Li Zhi was a little strange a long time ago, but generally speaking, his flaws were not concealed.He believes that human beings are always imperfect, even Li Zhi who suits him best will not be perfect forever.

...but not perfect enough to be human is too much.

Even those aspects that aroused his liking, which ones were real?

So in the chaos, Zhou Xiangxing lost sleep with his eyes closed.Today is Sunday, and tomorrow he has to go to work as usual, and insomnia will make him very uncomfortable tomorrow morning - with this in mind, he managed to convince himself to sleep first before talking.

He rolled over.

However, just as his body turned around, when he was about to fall asleep like this, he found in a daze that the door of his room was not closed tightly.

Between the two thoughts of leaving it alone and getting up to close it, Zhou Xiangxing suddenly remembered - he obviously locked the door.

His body stiffened instantly, he remained motionless, squinted his eyes, and looked towards the door.

Behind the crack of the door, there was a pair of eyes that almost melted into the darkness, staring at him calmly.
