I grew up on tiptoes just like that, and fell in love with you sadly.

23

"Why are you looking for me? Are you going to elope with me?" Lei replied gently with his fingertips, testing Norman's real purpose for this trip.Norman neither confirmed nor denied it, even if he did consider it. "Before that, we're going to the seven walls together."

Handing over the unfinished plan to Emma, ​​leaving everything behind and going to the Seven Walls, Ray couldn't help but wonder what kind of things existed on the Seven Walls, which could make Norman see such importance, and deliberately left it to the end to deal with alone .

"What are you going to do with the seven walls?"

"What does Ray want to go to the seven walls again?"

The sky was overcast, and Lei looked up. There was no sign of rain for the time being. He let go of his hand, and he pushed Norman to a nearby cave, "Conclude the agreement again."

"Well, me too." Norman nodded in agreement, but Ray didn't believe it, "Since your ultimate goal is to re-establish the agreement, what's the point of your meeting with the people from La Torrey?"

"I went to see him to confirm one thing."

"Ok?"

Ray stared deeply at Norman, waiting for the answer in silence. Unfortunately, Norman didn't intend to tell him, but said vaguely, "It's a very important thing."

"It's important so keep it from me.

"I won't hide it from Ray."

"We can't even confess to each other, and we don't have to act together." Lei quickened his pace self-consciously, and Norman chased after him helplessly. He called Lei's name softly like when he was a child, but both of them were on tiptoe Growing up on tiptoes, Lei no longer accepts the hopes and demands pretending to be coquettish, "Just tell me, when will you tell me?"

"When it comes to seven walls, because it's important."

After receiving a clear enough answer, Lei did not search for Norman's purpose. When he was in the command post, Norman was busy. Norman talked about what happened after leaving the farm, about Muxica, about the dead Yugo, about the hesitation to kill humans, and about many things, joy, sadness, anger, and fear.

And Norman will also tell Lei in more detail about the experience during the period from escaping from the experimental farm to establishing the command post.Contrasting the timelines of the two sides, and knowing that Norman may have just left when he found the golden pond alone, Ray fell into a complicated silence.

"What are you thinking?" Norman actually knew why Lei was silent. He didn't ask, he wouldn't ask questions that Lei didn't want to answer. Lei shook his head, "It's not a big deal."

"There is a river ahead, be careful when passing by."

"Don't worry about me. But Emma, ​​she won't be in danger alone, right?"

"Chuckie and Barbara are by Emma's side, don't worry, it's okay."

"How can you rest assured, she is so rampant, she might be arguing with some ruler in the human world now." After complaining worriedly, Lei bent over with difficulty, and then rolled up his trouser legs. It was a freshwater stream about two meters wide, and it was easy to step on the water, and he didn't know what to be careful about.

However, Norman was very worried. He stretched out his hand and wanted to lead Lei to walk over, but Lei rejected him in surprise, "I'm not that weak."

"I know, I just want to lead you there, isn't that okay?"

"I do not need you."

As if to prove something, Lei simply jumped to the opposite side of the stream.

"What does Ray need from me?"

"live……"

"to be frank."

The pattering rain interrupted the conversation between the two. Lei, who was familiar with the field terrain, took Norman to the nearest cave to shelter from the rain. After entering the damp and dark cave, Norman took off his coat and gave it to Lei. Lime heats up the temperature.

The cloudy sky and the sunken winter have the same sadness, and the two reflect the air-conditioning in the tearful drizzle.Leaning on Norman's shoulder, Ray felt extremely warm. He couldn't help yearning for this existence, and he couldn't stop thinking about what Norman was going to do. Even if he told himself repeatedly not to tie the ball of yarn into a knot, he still repeated the maze cycle. .

"Did you name it?"

"If you have an idea, you can mention it now."

"I don't know the gender yet. I need two names."

"No, let's choose a boy's name."

"You don't need to choose a girl's name, do you? Well, for a boy, how about Winter?" Norman's words were full of expectations, and Lei frowned, "It's so dirty, even worse than Sam."

Smiling and pressing a kiss on Ray's forehead, Norman didn't make any rebuttal.

"Norman," Ray covered his forehead unaccustomed, "I don't want to do this kind of thing with you."

"That day, I heard you call my name." Norman recalled, "You kept calling and shouting, faintly in your sleep, and you couldn't hear clearly, but it seemed to be in pain."

"Which day? The day I suddenly fell into heat?"

"That was the day."

"I called your name, didn't I? That's it." No wonder Norman was stubborn and wanted to combine with him to help him out. After finding out the reason, Lei understood that it wasn't Norman who was stubborn that day. It's all him and only him.

"I thought Lei wanted me, and only I could make Lei feel painless."

Ray couldn't deny Norman's overly arrogant speculation, but cause and effect are always two sides of the same thing, "It is true in a sense, but at the same time you are also the source of my pain."

"I understand, sorry."

"Say it all, you don't need to be sorry to me, no matter what kind of feelings I have for you, in the final analysis, it's my own business, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Does it make people sit idly by?"

"You should understand best how I don't want to disturb the person I like."

"I told Emma."

"What do you like about her?"

"Ah."

"How about it."

"I used to think I would never tell her this, I thought I liked her as a burdensome relationship, but I did." Grabbing Ray's shoulders, Norman looked directly at Ray, "I'm not I want to get something, I just want to tell her, because she can know this feeling, it is not the feeling that would burden her as I once thought, but the longing for being illuminated by the sun, and the longing for the sky."

"..."

"Hasn't Ray wanted to say something?"

"No."

"Feelings or something?"

"No."

"I don't even want to know what else I said?"

"No."

Being chased by Norman and asked about his feelings, Lei's calm appearance is full of turmoil that cannot be avoided inside. Even if Norman's love for Emma is not love but longing, even if Norman is eager for his response to connect with him, how can he? He came out happily, and didn't tell Emma about the farm's upcoming shipment, but told Emma before coming to him to go to the seven walls. Norman might face a more serious future than death.

"I also told Emma that Ray's child is ours. She said she knew it all along."

"I knew it long ago? How could she have known it long ago?"

"After locking us in the storage room, she stayed at the door for a while."

How long is it for a while?He and Norman hugged each other not long after talking. Thinking of this, Lei held his forehead, and his mood became more and more complicated. He didn't dare to think about how much Emma had heard. If he heard all of them, then he could know their relationship. Emma definitely intends to raise the idea of ​​forming a family under such circumstances.

"Norman, I don't want to talk right now."

"It's okay, Ray just listen to me, in fact, Gilda already knew..."

"Stop! Don't talk about it, I don't want to hear it." Lei was so ashamed that the things he thought he was secret were actually exposed to the eyes of everyone who knew him, which was extremely embarrassing.

"Haha, let's not talk about this." Turning the conversation away, Norman first smiled lightly, then cast a slight wink, and narrowed the distance between the two uncertainly, "Does Lei like me?"

"Don't like it anymore. From a certain moment, liking doesn't stop liking."

Become deep, become relieved, become no longer attached, and finally become the eternal galaxy and love. Lei can't express it bluntly. This is a very difficult thing for him, but the speed of the heartbeat can't help He tried to be brave, and in a trance-like gaze, he solemnly hugged Norman. He never believed in fate at all, and what existed here was the net that he wanted to indulge in with the seasons, "Norman, it's okay. "

"thunder?"

"Make me yours."
