【Xie Chen】Live like this

When Xie Yi went to look for Tong again, he saw no one else. There was only a graduate student he brought with him in the office. Just as Xie Yi entered, he caught up with a snowflake king snake that the graduate student was holding a mouse in long tongs to feed Tong.

"Excuse me, teacher Hitomi..."

Xie Yi swallowed after speaking half a sentence, seeing the heroic expression on the face of the graduate student who risked his life to death, he suddenly felt a little sympathy for him, so he decided to wait for him to finish this feat before asking.

Hitomi lives like a monk, and has no other hobbies, but loves snakes, insects, rats and ants.This Snow King, whose whole body is snow-white with only a few black spots on its head and a black line on its back, is one of his favorite pets. Unless there are special circumstances, Hitomi takes it wherever he goes. The baby is like his life.

Xie Yi remembered meeting Tong for the first time. He praised the snake for its good looks and pretty appearance out of politeness. Tong didn't show any expression on his face, but his next move showed his excitement. Tong took the snake from the incubator. The snake on the mat was taken out, and he sent it directly to Xie Yi, and said without expression, if you like it, I will lend it to you, be careful, so as not to damage it.

The snake coiled around Tong Tong's fingertips, almost merging with his white skin. His head pointed at Xie Yi, and the black snake spat out hiss. Goosebumps and cold sweat all over Xie Yi's body rushed up.

Still, Shen Ye couldn't bear to see one person and one snake staring at each other, and pulled Xie Yi back two steps, glanced at the thing that started to crawl around in Yantong's hand, and frowned with undisguised disgust: Hitomi, throw your thing back, it's too ugly to bear to look at.

This comment was very harsh, but Tong smiled nonchalantly, rubbed his finger over the black spot on the top of the snake's head and caressed it, and put back the "too ugly" Snow Flower King that Shen Ye said.

It seems that this snake has poisoned many people, with Xie Yi in front and this unlucky guy in front of him behind.

The graduate student twisted his face and quickly threw the suckling mouse out of the feeding port, and then slammed the lid on, lest it escape by chance.

When the suckling mouse landed on the insulation pad, it squirmed for a few times without knowing the situation. It seemed to be satisfied with the warmth of the cushion. The noodle balls that were not yet fully grown were critically sized up, and after a few seconds, they turned around and crawled away without interest.

"Huh? Why don't you eat it? Teacher Tong told me to feed it like this..."

The graduate student leaned closer to the incubator, muttering to himself in bewilderment.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Snow Flower King suddenly got into trouble, turned his head and bit the suckling mouse in a blink of an eye, strangled the slender body several times, twisted and deformed the soft ball, and the suckling mouse swallowed before it could even struggle.

After strangling the prey, King Snowflake opened his mouth wide and bit the suckling rat's head. His neck wriggled slowly and swallowed something twice as big as his body alive.

Xie Yi's mind popped out the words "like a master" for no reason, his face was a little blue, the graduate student obviously didn't have enough paragraphs, his face was colorful, and he was about to cry.

"Cough," Xie Yi coughed, drew the graduate student's attention, and asked in a sympathetic and gentle tone, "Where did Teacher Tong go?"

The corner of the graduate student's mouth twitched, and he said with a mournful face, "Teacher Tong was invited to give a series of lectures at X University. He left by flight at nine o'clock this morning. He won't be back until two months later."

This is not a coincidence.

Xie Yi frowned, thought for a while that since he had accepted the worst possibility, he was not in a hurry to ask Tong Tong for confirmation, and asked Tong Tong the exact time of his return before he left. Before leaving, he kindly called the graduate student in charge of feeding. An animal like a snake can be full for half a month after one meal, and it won't die if it is starved for two meals.

The graduate student sent him out the door with a grateful expression of being taught. Xie Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the sky that finally cleared up. He took a deep breath of the cool air after the rain, feeling open-minded and refreshed.

After the beginning of winter, the wind is getting colder and colder day by day, but the weather is getting finer and clearer. The sky like light blue frosted glass is hung with a white sun. It is not very warm but bright enough to make everything shine as if it has been polished. It is bright, and even the shadows are faintly blue. When people walk in such a dazzling world, they will spontaneously feel a false warmth.

After the last rainy night, Xie Yi devoted more time and thought to Shen Ye. He guessed that Shen Ye's strange behavior was caused by something or something, and as long as he found the source of the stimulus, similar incidents could be avoided.However, during this period of time, Shen Ye's mental stability and mood were no different from ordinary people, Xie Yi gradually relaxed, and no longer worried every day like he did at the beginning.

As the days went by without incident, another matter replaced Xie Yi's worry about Shen Ye's mental state.

At the beginning of December, Shen Ye developed a high fever again, and suddenly fainted while teaching in the lecture hall, and was sent to the hospital unconscious.Xie Yi received the news and drove away. Shen Ye had already woken up and insisted on leaving the hospital after paying the medical expenses. The students who came with him surrounded him helplessly, and no one dared to stop him.

Xie Yi saw that Shen Ye's face was very pale, so he quickly persuaded the student to leave, then helped him back into the car, and checked his forehead, and sure enough, the burn was gone.

This repeated high fever was really frightening. Xie Yi forcibly accompanied Shen Ye for a physical examination. The hospital did not find out the cause of the disease, but said that it was probably due to excessive fatigue, so Shen Ye was asked to suspend class and rest.

Taking the certificate issued by the doctor, Xie Yi went to the college to ask Shen Ye for half a year's leave, and he also took annual leave to take care of Shen Ye at home.

He could clearly feel that Shen Ye's health had deteriorated, his face was unhealthily pale, and his spirit was even worse. The two of them were wrapped in blankets and watching TV dramas on the sofa. Xie Yi held him in his arms. chatting, commenting on the bloody plot and the IQ of the male and female protagonists from time to time, Shen Ye closed his eyes while chatting, Xie Yi deliberately talked to him, and he responded with a few words in a vague voice, and then gradually Silenced, fell asleep on Xie Yi's lap.

However, the strangeness of Shen Ye's body didn't stop there. After having a good time, Xie Yi embraced Shen Ye from behind eagerly, lightly pecked and kissed his shoulder covered with thin sweat, and when the tip of his tongue licked his round shoulder, he found a thin There was a light purple mark on the white skin. When he looked carefully, he saw that line spread from the shoulder to the arm, a thin mark, like a bruise.

He was very surprised, and tried to press it with his fingers, and the skin there was sunken, and it hasn't recovered for a long time, showing an abnormal dead white color.Shen Ye snorted, woke up in a daze, frowned and pushed Xie Yi's arm, telling him to go to bed and stop making trouble.

Seeing his sleepy appearance, Xie Yi's heart softened into a puddle of water, and he kissed him on the brow and apologized, but his eyes were still unconsciously drawn to that line, and his fingers stroked it, the more he thought about it, the weirder he felt.

The slender shape of the mark, and the inflexible soft feel when pressed down, did not look like ordinary bruises at all.

So Xie Yi shook Shen Ye's shoulder, forcefully woke up the sleeping man, and asked how he got the scar on his arm.

What scar?Shen Ye was forced to wake up and was drowsy, his eyes were half-opened and his eyesight was slack, and he asked in a sticky voice.

Xie Yi pulled his arm and pointed to him.

Shen Ye tilted his head suspiciously, staring at that place and barely focusing his eyes, then his eyes jumped suddenly, and he stroked down the line with his fingers in amazement, his body trembled for a while, and his face turned pale instantly.

what happened?

In the darkness, Xie Yi couldn't see Shen Ye's expression clearly, he suddenly covered his arms and pursed his lips without saying a word, he couldn't help but put his hand on the back of his hand, and asked strangely.

Shen Ye pushed his hand away, Xie Yi noticed that his fingers were cold.

He sat up in the darkness in silence, put on the pajamas he had thrown carelessly at the foot of the bed when he was in love, and buttoned the buttons carefully one by one, then lay down again, turned his back and said slowly: It's okay...it was probably accidentally bruised.

For no reason, Xie Yi felt that his voice was trembling slightly, as if he was hiding some serious hidden secrets, he couldn't figure it out, so he could only hug Shen Ye into his arms, and comfortingly kissed the soft and greasy skin on the back of his neck. skin.

After that night, Xie Yi found that Shen Ye seemed to be indifferent to him, not only intentionally or unintentionally avoiding physical contact, but he also refused to show his body in front of him anymore.

In the midst of Xie Yi's growing doubts, the solar term from Xiaoxue to the winter solstice, it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
