escape from the world

It's raining again.

The gloomy weather, the humid air, the smell of earth mixed with the pungent fragrance of lilies.

Fang Chen saw that his white shoes were splashed with mud, and the kitten in his hand was silent, it was still so small, shrunk into a ball and its body was stiff.My young self, with a little baby fat on his face, drops of water hanging from his eyelashes, I don’t know if it’s tears or raindrops, his hair was slightly wet and damp from the rain, and an umbrella suddenly appeared above his head.

Someone was holding an umbrella for him, he looked up, black slacks, white shirt... and then that rotting face.

The rain suddenly fell heavily, crackling, Fang Chen couldn't hear any sound, only the sound of rain, surrounded by rain and they were trapped inside, the man's mouth opened and closed, and the voice clearly reached Fang Chen's ears.

"Fang Chen, don't be afraid."

……

"jingle".

Fang Chen woke up suddenly, realizing that he was still in the hall, the bright lights dazzled his eyes, and the man slowly walked towards him.He wanted to run away but couldn't use his strength, so he could only watch helplessly as Nie Shi got closer and closer.

"Don't be afraid." Nie Shi repeated these two words and squatted down, "Don't be afraid of me."

How could it be possible not to be afraid.

Fang Chen didn't dare to blink, his eyes were blurred by tears and buffered properly, at least this way he couldn't see Nie Shi's face.

Nie Shi gently stroked Fang Chen's cheek, it wasn't as rotten as imagined, it didn't feel soft and uneven, Nie Shi's palm was dry and cold.

"What did you see?" Nie Shi asked, then repeated, "Don't be afraid of me."

The frequency of this sentence is too high.

Fang Shen couldn't ignore the coolness on his face, closed his eyes and tears flowed down his cheeks, fear beat every nerve in him, but a picture completely opposite to fear flashed in his mind, first fried rice with carrots and cucumbers, and then humming The buzzing hair dryer and the palm falling on top of his head, and then... the rotting face.

A strange feeling rose in Fang Chen's heart, he opened his eyes and looked straight into those eyes.Nie Shi's pupils were like pitch-black swirls, and the only light reflected Fang Chen's reflection.The bruises on his body faded little by little, replaced by the original skin color.

Instead of letting out a sigh of relief, Fang Chen became even more panicked. What the hell is Nie Shi? !

It's not Fang Chen's fault, the timing of Nie Shi's appearance was too ingenious, and all his subsequent behaviors showed that he was protecting Fang Chen and that the other party had no malicious intentions.

But why?Fang Chen felt a faint pain in his head, and there was a slight wrinkle between his brows.

Nie Shi looked towards the stairs, and there stood a black and white cat with copper-yellow eyes, tilting its head and staring at them.Fang Chen didn't notice it, but Nie Shi glanced at it and turned around as if he didn't see it.

The cold breath on the man made Fang Chen tremble uncontrollably. He didn't know where he got the courage to grab Nie Shi's arm and asked, "Why are you following me?"

Did not answer as expected.

"Do I know you?" Fang Chen took a deep breath, his throat was so itchy that he wanted to cough.

Nie Shi pursed his lips and pressed his head directly against Fang Chen's neck. Fang Chen was stiff, scared to death but did not dare to push away.

"Fang Chen." Nie Shi read his name softly, with a hint of affection.

Fang Chen's mind was numb, and he couldn't think of any answer.

But Nie Shi rushed over, brushing against Fang Chen's neck with his short, stiff hair and blowing gently on it.

Fang Chen wanted to cry again, he didn't understand why this pile of rotten meat was acting coquettishly at him, was it trying to avoid the problem.Fang Chen doesn't need to answer, can he please stay away from him?

Of course, Shen Shi, the borrower, dared not say that, so he could only push Nie Shi's shoulder: "I won't ask...can you get up?" He asked tentatively.

Nie Shi stood up cooperatively.

Fang Chen still didn't dare to look at Nie Shi, and lowered his head to reveal the back of his fair neck. This was actually very dangerous, but he himself didn't have the consciousness to keep looking at his feet.Nie Shi wrapped his arms around his waist, and Fang Chen cooperated stiffly. The hug was cold but far less desperate than before. Nie Shi returned the dagger to him and inserted it into the knife sheath on his waist.

"Fang Chen." There was an inexplicable joy in Nie Shi's voice, and he bent over to Fang Chen's lips again.

Tears rolled in his eyes, Fang Chen didn't know what to do.Not only did the rotten meat in front of him not intend to kill him, but he was protecting him all the time. Although he really wanted to know why, he was afraid of getting a horrifying answer.Creatures of different races have no future together. Fang Chen really wanted to remind Nie Shi, but was afraid that Nie Shi would become angry and bite off his own head.

The cat at the stairs had disappeared, and Nie Shi took Fang Chen's hand and walked out.Out of Fang Chen's sight, Nie Shi returned to his expressionless state. Passing by the stairwell, he raised his eyes to look upstairs and quickly looked away.

When Nie Shi pressed the elevator, Fang Chen dared to ask, "Where are you going?"

"Go back." Nie Shi said, even shaking the hands they were holding.

The rot on his hands was obviously much better than before, Fang Chen felt strange but didn't have the courage to look at Nie Shi's face.

Fang Chen, who got on the elevator with a blank mind, suddenly remembered, "Fan Yingying, she...!" How could I forget her?

There was silence in the elevator.

Fang Chen couldn't help turning his head to look at Nie Shi. It was just a profile, a man's sharp-edged face, and a part below the cheekbones was rotten, but he could still clearly see his original appearance.

The heart stopped beating for another second, Fang Chen quickly turned his head and clenched his hands unconsciously.

"You're still afraid of me." Nie Shi said, his voice was very deep and could not hear the emotion, and he slowly let go of his hand.

Fang Shen subconsciously bent his fingers without the cold temperature in his palms, and neither of them moved when the elevator door opened.

"Aren't you going to find her..." Fang Chen lifted his jaw just after half a sentence, Nie Shi's cold lips pressed against him, and kissed fiercely. This time the kiss was not entirely cold, but mixed with fire. Spicy pain and rust smell, saliva mixed together and swallowed.For a second, Fang Chen thought, it turns out that Nie Shi also bleeds, and the taste of blood is the same as that of human beings.

Wheezing into his ears and warm snort, Nie Shi's hand wandered over his body, clasping him so hard.Fang Chen's hands were cold, but his body was hot, scorching hot, burning straight into his heart.With a sob between his lips, Fang Chen moved his tongue a little, and his eyelashes cast a small shadow.

What did he forget?

He was not that afraid of Nie Shi, even after confirming that Nie Shi was a rotten man who often appeared at night...he was not as afraid of him as he imagined.

Nie Shi covered Fang Chen's eyes, withdrew his tongue and pecked Fang Chen's lips reluctantly.

Late at night.

The surrounding area was noisy, and the sky was clear and cloudless. Fang Chen was one of a group of children in red and white school uniforms on the playground.

Those blurred faces dangled in front of Fang Chen. Fang Chen was looking for something and scurrying around until he bumped into someone and was caught by the wrist. He turned his head and saw Nie Shi.

Nie Shi, who was in junior high school, was taller and taller than his peers, but he still had a dead face with no expression, but he was more immature.

Fang Chen was quite pleasantly surprised: "It really is you!" He laughed.The carefree smiling face of the teenager is always a dazzling color in my memory.

"Hey, I just look familiar, do you remember me?" Fang Chen pointed at himself, blinking his eyes and asked.

Nie Shi let go of his hand and slightly staggered his eyes, "Yes."

"Then who am I?"

A wind blows over, rippling the leaves of the trees.

Nie Shi raised his head, but his eyes still did not fall on Fang Chen, "Fang Chen."

……

Fang Chen didn't know how he fell asleep, and it was two hours after he woke up again.

Qiao Ran sat in the corner of the sofa, saw Fang Chen wake up and said quickly, "Brother Fang Chen, are you alright?"

Fang Chen has not recovered from the dream, his face is not very good, his heart is beating so hard that his chest hurts

He knew Nie Shi!

He and Nie Shi knew each other a long time ago!

"They went to find that sister." Qiao Ran poured Fang a glass of water, and his eyes were very bright under the lamp, "There are four of us left."

Fang Chen saw the couple lying on the bed.

"Are they asleep?" he asked quietly.

"Hmm." Qiao Ran said, "I dare not sleep." He looked at Fang Chen and bit his lips, "Why did that sister drag you out?"

Because something is wrong with Nie Shi.

Fang Chen's heart sank when he thought of Nie Shi, he skipped the question and said in a panic, "Are they... looking for someone with Nie Shi?"

"Hmm." Qiao Ran rubbed the pillow in his hand, "You passed out and he brought you back. What happened?"

Since he dared to go out with Nie Shi, it proved that no one else noticed Nie Shi's strangeness.Only he and Fan Yingying noticed it, why?

"Brother Fang Chen." Qiao Ran leaned on the pillow, tilting her head slightly, "Why did you go with that sister? It's dangerous to act alone."

Fang Chen's heart sank straight to the bottom.

That's right, why...why did he leave with Fan Yingying?It is obviously dangerous to act alone.

At this moment, the doorknob turned, and the couple who were sleeping on the bed woke up suddenly. They pressed their heads in a daze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gao Cheng and Xie Ying came in first, and Nie Shi who came in last closed the door.

Nie Shi lowered his eyes and didn't know what to think. From Fang Chen's angle, there was a blue mark extending from the corner of his eye, and there was a faint bruise on his neck.

The rot is getting lighter.

Xie Ying sat down on the sofa, her long hair hanging down to cover half of her face, "No one was found."

"I met two more of those things." Gao Cheng grinned, "It's disgusting, I'm going to spit out this meal."

Fang Chen finally had the courage to face Nie Shi directly.

Nie Shi's eyes were pitch black, and even if there was a flash of light on the whites of the eyes, the depth inside was as deep as death.

Fang Chen trembled because he somewhat understood what Nie Shi was thinking.

Nie Shi's harmlessness was only when facing Fang Chen.He won't hurt Fang Chen... They knew each other before, but what about the others?

Nie Shi doesn't care who dies, anyone's death has nothing to do with him, he only protects Fang Chen.

The author has something to say: Fang Chen: I am scared to cry every day

Nie Shi: I am wronged every day
