On a stormy night, the murmur in the house was dark and lingering.

After twisting for a while, the delicate body collapsed, sank into the mattress and said lazily: "I'm tired, I'll replace you, I won't let you off if it hurts..."

The two had sex until the early hours of the morning, talking endlessly, and never tired of it.Under the dim light, Xiangxi suddenly noticed something strange on Bai Yan's face.

"When did you have a mole in the center of your forehead?"

Bai Yan smiled: "This red mole only appears on the [-]th of every month, and it happens to be twelve o'clock at night."

Xiangxi looked at the watch on the bedside table, and looked at Bai Yan with disbelief: "Are you kidding me? Last time you said you were an alien, I almost believed it. This time I won't take it easy Take your word for it."

Bai Yan smiled and frowned, and after a while he said: "There are many incredible things in the world."

"You mean the unsolved mysteries of the world, right?" Xiang Xi disagreed.

"Exactly. Xiangxi, listen to me, let's go to Loch Ness in Scotland to find water monsters, shall we? Take your camera and let's go wandering together."

"What are you talking about, you have a good idea, how can you just leave as soon as you say it."

Bai Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly became serious: "You said you have no freedom, after you cut off the father-son relationship with the mayor, will you be free?"

As soon as the words fell, Bai Yan was pushed westward, and he said displeasedly: "Who did you listen to this? My brother? I have seen my brother?"

Bai Yan nodded: "I've met him a few times, and he even mentioned to me about Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen also came to me personally, and they all hoped that I would stay away from you. Back then, you didn't want to see Lin Zhen again, Lu Xing Chuan decided to find me, right?"

Averting his eyes to the west, he looked out of the window. The wind and rain sometimes slowed down and sometimes rushed, crackling against the window, making people upset and uneasy.

"I can't stand you all, damn possessive."

But Bai Yan said with a serious face: "Leave here with me, let's live a different life, okay?"

The other party didn't make a sound, and said tremblingly after a while: "I want to listen to the song."

Bai Zhe played "New Light Of Tomorrow" by the Finnish band Husky Rescue to Xiangxi as promised.The two listened to the lyrics carefully, immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

"You gave me hope when I was sad

Maybe tomorrow I can love again

in return for something i borrowed

tomorrow i will be with you forever

I know we're on a narrow road

When tomorrow comes we will see the sun

And see the first sparrows of the morning

light of tomorrow

we will be one of them

we will be one of them

We will be one of them too. "

At dawn, the rain stopped, and Bai Yan was awakened by Xiangxi's dream.

"Don't come, don't come..."

Bai Yan gently shook Xiangxi awake, hugged him into his arms, and heard him cry hoarsely: "He's here again, I can hear his footsteps, he wants to open the door to come in, he wants to open the door to come in!"

"Don't be afraid," Bai Yan comforted softly, "With me here, no one can hurt you."
