Chapter 13 Firefly
Chapter 13 Firefly
When Huawen stood at the foot of Yuexia Mountain, he felt a little hopeless for the first time.
There were people coming and going in rescue vehicles with flashing lights, medical workers in white coats near the ambulance were busy, the police were opening the way and blocking the line, shouting and honking horns kept coming and going.
What was even more frightening was that four or five people who had left forever were lying on a few sheets of white cloth placed under the awning, and stretchers kept carrying white cloths here, which made people feel cold all over.
Huawen is not afraid of the dead, he has done missions and been on the battlefield where corpses are everywhere, but at this moment he can't stop thinking, there must be no Yan Lu in this.
He regained his composure, ran over to the police and explained that he might be a family member of the trapped person, turned inside the cordon, and looked at the bodies brought down... none of them were wearing school uniforms.
It's okay, that guy's life should be tough.
The torrential rain is still falling, showing no signs of slowing down. The painting has been drenched through, and the umbrella is no longer useful. He looked at the victims lying sideways. There was a small body under a white cloth, probably only At the age of four or five, he was placed in the farthest corner, and most of it was wet from the rain.
Huawen walked over and opened the umbrella, and placed it beside the white cloth, covering the muddy feet that were soaked by the rain.
He stood up and looked at the other side of the mountain again. He couldn't help him, he could only wait for the news from the system. If Yan Lu was gone, he could find a rock here and hit him to death.
Why does it feel like dying for love when you log out of the world?
Huawen wanted to find something happy for himself, but he was drenched in the rain, and people around him came and went and died, so it was better to find a suitable stone.
"System, what do you think of that one?" Huawen pointed to a giant Shoushan stone with the words "Moon Down Mountain" engraved on it.
System: 【...It can be fatal if you collide with it at a speed of five meters per second. Instructor, are you okay?In fact, the current situation is quite optimistic. 】
"I'm fine," Huawen smiled easily, picked a suitable distance and stood up, eager to try, "I'm fine, I think I can log out of the world with a smile on my face, although it's a bit regretful that this year's The title of best instructor is gone, but..."
"Give way!"
The voice of the medical staff interrupted Huawen's thoughts, and he immediately stepped aside, seeing them carrying a stretcher covered with a white cloth and putting it here, registering hastily and leaving.
The victim was tall and tall, with a familiar figure in the picture. The white cloth could not cover all of him (her), revealing a corner of his clothes... It was the school uniform of Z City Middle School.
Huawen stared straight at the corner of the clothes, without speaking or moving, like a sculpture standing beside the corpse, his fingertips trembling slightly.
After a long time, he took a deep breath and looked back at the huge Shoushan Stone. Just when he was about to mentally prepare, the system suddenly called out.
【Hold on!Instructor, this world hasn't collapsed yet, and the mission target hasn't died yet. 】
The picture text pointed to the victim on the ground in surprise: "Then this is..."
"Awen! Why are you here?"
A familiar call came from behind, and Huawen's heart skipped a beat, trembling as if his whole body was electrified, the back of his neck was like a rusty mechanical clockwork, and he turned his head with difficulty——
Yan Lu was naked to the waist, with his right hand behind his back, walking towards him with slow steps.
When he saw that his face was not right, Yan Lu ran over immediately, covered in mud and rain, staggering and a little embarrassed.
Huawen didn't speak, but glanced at his feet.
Yan Lu quickly stood up straight: "It's okay, it's just a sprain."
Huawen's gaze turned to his naked upper body.
Yan Lu understood immediately, and pointed to the victim lying there, a little sad: "When she was sent out, her clothes were all gone, girls can't do it naked, I gave her the clothes."
Finally, Huawen looked at the right hand that he had been carrying.
"This... I shouldn't have given it to you at this time." Yan Lu suddenly felt embarrassed, and took out the glass jar that had been hidden behind him. There were two half-dead fireflies in it, lying on the bottom of the jar. Light.
Perhaps because of the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Yan Lu felt that he had endless things to say to Huawen. He didn't regret coming down the mountain at all, at least he came back alive.
He dragged the painting and went to a relatively secluded canopy on the other side, holding a glass jar and said seriously: "I just grabbed two and it started to rain. These two are my heart, happy birthday."
Hua Wen put on a wooden face, as if he didn't hear what Yan Lu was saying.
The sky was too dark, and Yan Lu didn't see the abnormal expression in the painting clearly, and continued to stammer: "You...you didn't tell me your birthday today, I didn't even have time to prepare a gift for you, except happy birthday, actually ...Actually, I still want to say..."
"Snapped!"
Yan Lu's face was tilted to one side, he was so shocked that he forgot what he was going to say just now, and stared blankly at the picture in front of him who had slapped him: "...Ah Wen?"
Hua Wen took a deep look at him with red eyes, clenched his fists, turned around and left the cordon.
Yan Lu reacted, and hurriedly wanted to hold him back. Huawen was in a rage, and flung Yan Lu's hand away. The glass jar slipped in the air and shattered to the ground with a "click".
The two fireflies were released, and they twitched twice in the rain, and the faint fluorescent light was completely extinguished.
At this moment, Huawen also broke away from Yan Lu's hand and ran away, leaving Yan Lu standing alone in the rain, looking at the two dead fireflies, feeling ashamed.
----
Huawen didn't run far, but hid behind a street tree and took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
He looked at his red palm, slightly numb, and was a little surprised that he actually slapped Yan Lu.
When he saw that guy appeared in front of him safe and sound, Huawen felt like his heart was on a roller coaster, almost being thrown out, and he didn't realize what Yan Lu said "Happy Birthday" at all...
Today is not his birthday either.
[Master Instructor, your identity information in this world is today's birthday, I thought you knew...]
Huawen suddenly said: "Oh...Of course I know, but it's just an ID number, who knew that Yan Lu took that number seriously!"
He hurriedly turned his head to see that Yan Lu hadn't left either, and was still standing there with his head buried, covered in mud and water, his trouser legs were scratched, and his dazed appearance made people feel distressed.
I couldn't read the picture anymore, so I went over and grabbed his wrist and walked to the ambulance. The doctor looked at his ankle and found that there was no serious problem. It will be fine after two days of massaging with active oil.
"Thank you doctor." Huawen took Yan Lu to thank the doctor.
The young doctor looked at Yan Lu, whose eyes were reddish and aggrieved, and whispered to Huawen: "Don't blame your brother, it will not be easy to come out, the college entrance examination is about to take place, take a good rest, and be careful in the future ah."
Even the doctor interceded for Yan Lu, Huawen's anger basically subsided, he bowed to the doctor, and took the hapless boy away.
Huawen didn't speak to Yan Lu all this time, and silently hailed a taxi and gave the name of a hotel.
Only then did Yan Lu raise his head, and looked at Huawen puzzled.
Unable to bear the cowering look in his eyes, like a dog making a mistake, Huawen finally said the first sentence between them tonight: "Look at you, can you go home? You won't be killed if Sister Ru kills you!" That's fine."
"... Oh." Yan Lu knew that he was in a mess now, his whole body was covered in dirty mud, if his face was not clean, he would hardly recognize himself.
"Report your sister to be safe first," Huawen threw the phone to him, "then apologize to Cheng Xin, you have deceived her, and made me worry about you together."
As soon as he heard Cheng Xin, Yan Lu reflexively wanted to talk back: "Why give him..."
"Are you apologizing?" Hua Wen casually raised his head and glanced at him, Yan Lu only felt his back go cold, he had to admit that he was scared.
Yan Lu never thought that he would have such a humiliating day, but it is true that he was at fault in the first place. The light and calm painting is too scary. The eyes seem calm, but in fact they can really peel him off.
He awkwardly called Cheng Xin, and lied to Yan Ru, saying that he lived near the examination room because he could not go back to the examination room. The taxi shook slightly and stopped.
Following behind Huawen listlessly, Yan Lu had a feeling of wanting to rely on him for the first time. Huawen in front of him was half a head shorter than him, but he looked like a mature adult. In his eyes, he might just be A naughty kid who didn't grow up.
Thinking of this, Yan Lu, who was even more lost, couldn't even lift his head, and entered a twin room with Huawen, and he went straight into the bathroom, unable to bear the look of himself coming out of a mud pit.
The water vapor blurred the glass door of the bathroom, and the soft warm yellow light finally felt warm, Huawen shivered secretly, took off his soaked clothes and put on a hotel bathrobe, his head was still full of tears. confusion.
The objective of the mission is all right, everything is fine, logically he should breathe a sigh of relief, but looking at Yan Lu who has been lost all the time, he is a little confused when he didn't finish saying "Happy Birthday".
He shouldn't have been angry and slapped Yan Lu, but at that moment, an unprecedented hot current rushed into his brain, interrupting his tight rational strings, making him eager to find an outlet Let go of your weird emotions.
"The system...will I screw it up?" Huawen asked the system blankly, "I didn't want to hit him at first, he is an adult and has strong self-esteem, how could I be so impulsive? I..."
From what standpoint did I get angry, and from what standpoint did I hit him?
Huawen's mind was in a mess, and he hugged his knees and curled up at the head of the bed.
[You are just under too much pressure, and you have developed excessive emotions. Impulsivity makes everyone likely to do abnormal things. At present, it seems that the mission goal is not a serious problem. 】
Huawen rubbed his head and let out a long sigh: "I think I'm in serious trouble... Yes, maybe it's because of too much pressure. I'll just do some psychological counseling when I go back."
[I hope you have been taking too many things to heart, and proper relaxation will make you feel much better. 】
Huawen, whose body was a little cold, hugged himself even tighter. He was very tired now, but he couldn't sleep at all. He didn't even hear the sound of water in the bathroom, and he was still in a daze.
Yan Lu walked over with bare feet and soundless, looking at the picture of himself curled up in a ball, feeling inexplicably distressed.
The still wet hair was softly attached to Huawen's forehead, and he unconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it. Just before touching it, Huawen raised his head abruptly, and only then did his confused eyes gain focus: "Er Lu, have you finished washing?"
The voice became gentle again, and it became Yan Lu's familiar picture again, but Yan Lu always felt that he could no longer touch such a picture.
"...Well, I'm done washing, you can go." Yan Lu withdrew his hand, and sat beside him dully, with warm steam coming from his body, which made the somewhat cold Huawen want to get closer.
Wrapped tightly in the bathrobe, Hua Wen shook off the thoughts in his head, sat up straight, and solemnly said to Yan Lu: "Before that, I want to apologize to you first, I shouldn't hit you, I'm sorry, Er Lu .”
As he said that, he was about to bow his head, Yan Lu quickly supported his shoulders, pushed him to the head of the bed almost at a loss, and let him go quickly.
"Don't... don't apologize to me, I am the one who should apologize." Yan Lu looked away unnaturally.
Hua Wen nodded: "You do have to apologize, but not to me, but to Sister Ru, she was so worried about you, but you did such a dangerous thing at this critical moment, you are sorry for her, not me, on the contrary... I have to thank you too."
Yan Lu was stunned: "You... what are you thanking me for?" I made you so angry that you wanted to hit me, and thank me...
Huawen lowered his eyes and showed a smile, and took out a piece of wrapped paper, which contained two dead fireflies: "Thank you for your birthday present, sorry, I forgot it was today, and I didn't want to tell you at first. You, I'm afraid you will be distracted."
It was so gentle again... But Yan Lu felt choked up, he took the paper ball away, and lowered his head in embarrassment: "They are all dead..."
But Huawen smiled indifferently, and comforted him: "It's fine if you get what you want, and I'll treat you as filial to me. How do you know that I like fireflies?"
Yan Lu: "I see that your phone has always been locked, and I think you should like it."
Huawen rubbed Yan Lu's head smoothly: "Why are you so obedient now? Did you get convinced by me? That brother will accept you as a little brother today."
"Get out," Yan Lu was also teased and laughed. He turned his head and stared at the smiling eyes of the painting, and couldn't help approaching quietly, and said softly, "Brother Wen, I..."
The picture text shrank back exaggeratedly, and joked with a smile: "Don't be nasty! Erlu...you still don't fit to be called brother, I'm just kidding, you can call 'Awen', of course, we will always be Good brother, when you get married in the future, introduce me to others and call me brother."
Yan Lu's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared blankly at Huawen for two seconds, then turned his head to hide the bitterness in the corner of his mouth, so that Huawen could not see his red eyes.
He knew that Huawen was not smiling, but was using his favorite smile to cut off the impossible thought in his heart.
He won't get married. His heart was given to this man named Huawen today, but the glass jar was broken and the firefly died. This man told him vaguely with the firefly's corpse and a gentle smile that they couldn't .
Yan Lu's heart was bleeding, but a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said "OK".
The author has something to say: Is this new name okay?Named waste crying _(:3」∠)_
