Chapter 8 chapter 08

When Shen Cisui woke up, Yuan Xingye was still there.As soon as he opened his eyes, the man's sleeping face burst into view, his peach blossom eyes were closed, and the deep arc at the end of the eyes could drown a person.

This was quite impactful, but what shocked Shen Cisui even more was that the two of them hugged—he was resting on Yuan Xingye's arm, Yuan Xingye was holding his waist, and the distance was extremely close. can kiss.

It is true that Shen Cisui does not reject contact with Yuan Hoshino, and has been doing more intimate things, but falling asleep and hugging each other is still a bit scary.

Shen Cisui immediately rolled out of Yuan Xingye's arms, but halfway through the roll, he was turned back by the messy quilt.

He slammed his face into Yuan Xingye's neck and wanted to try again, only to find that Yuan Xingye increased the strength of his hands and hugged him even tighter.

"Don't make trouble."

Yuan Xingye's voice came close to Shen Cisui's ear, low and itchy.Shen Cisui hid for a while, glanced at the time, and whispered, "I'm going to be late for class."

"Then you snatched my quilt in the middle of the night?" Yuan Xingye snorted softly.

Only then did Shen Cisui notice the problem with the quilt - both of them were wrapped around his body, no wonder turning over would be hindered.

"So you use me as a pillow now?" Shen Cisui muttered angrily.

Hara Hoshino said "Yes" confidently.

Shen Cisui looked at the time again. At 8:23, his first class in the morning was at 9 o'clock, so he had to hurry up to catch up.He elongated his tone: "I'm really going to be late."

"Have you ever skipped class before?" Hara Hoshino asked.

"Why did you skip class?" Shen Cisui asked him back, looking a little stubborn, but in fact, most of them didn't want to be Yuan Xingye's pillow.

"...a top student."

After talking a few words with Shen Cisui, Yuan Xingye came to his senses completely. He didn't have the habit of staying in bed, so he released Shen Cisui and let him go to wash.

Shen Cisui returned to his room and spent a few minutes tidying up.His cold was better than last night, and he was no longer dizzy, but he wasn't feeling well either. He didn't dare to mess around, and under Lo's close supervision, he added a scarf around his neck.

The dark gray scarf covered half of his face, and it was a little hot indoors. Shen Cisui put the clothes he wore last night into the hands of the housekeeping robot and strode downstairs.

Yuan Xingye leaned against the bar and drank water. When Shen Cisui saw him, he remembered something and called out, "Mr. Yuan."

"Huh?" Yuan Xingye raised his eyelids.

"It's Christmas in a few days, and I'm going back to the Sixth Star Region." In order to prevent the original boss from being able to find someone when he needs it, Shen Cisui reported his itinerary to him in advance.

"En." Yuan Xingye replied, his tone was much calmer than the last one.

Shen Cisui said again: "I have a cold. Although it should not be contagious, you'd better take some medicine to prevent it."

Yuan Xingye nodded, put down the water glass, and threw the key that was returned with the shuttle into Shen Cisui's hand again: "Drive."

"Thank you." Shen Cisui blinked at him.

The temperature is getting lower and lower every day, it is snowing again in Feilengcui, Christmas decorations are everywhere, and the musical fountain in Hillendvo plays Christmas songs on a loop.

Every time around this time, the students of Hillendvall will have a five-day long vacation. In previous years, Shen Qi stayed at school because it was too time-consuming to fly back and forth. This year, he asked for leave and left early.

The flight from the third star field to the sixth star field lasted 30 hours. Shen Cisui took cold medicine containing sleep aid ingredients, pulled off the blindfold and began to sleep.

The wind was turbulent, and Shen Cisui didn't sleep well. He frequently fell into dreams about the past, which made him wake up from time to time, and then he didn't sleep at all. He opened his eyes and looked at the stars in the distance.

"Lo, it must be snowing in Seleucus?" Shen Cisui asked softly.

After 0.1 seconds, Lo replied: "It's snowing now, and the rain and snow will last for a week."

"It's the same as before." Shen Cisui said.

Lo replied, "Yes, it's the same as before."

Thirty hours later, the flight landed in the sixth star field, which was not Shen Cisui's destination, and it took several hours to change trains, and finally arrived at the ancient city of Seleu.

Shen Cisui put on his scarf and coat and walked out of the terminal.

The wind and snow greeted him.

The prosperity of Seleucid is far less than that of Fei Leng Cui, and the weather is cold, so few pedestrians can be seen on the road.Shen Cisui hailed an automatic shuttle, and after getting in, reported a long-lost address.

The scenery outside the car window kept receding.It was evening, and the street lamps were all on, and the lights dragged out their long tails and were quickly thrown away.Shen Cisui stared out of the window for a while, then lowered his eyes.He not only hopes to arrive sooner, but also hopes that the road can be longer and the time can be slower.

Near nostalgia timid.

The shuttle arrived on time at the scheduled time.

In front of me was a small building in the suburbs, three stories high, with vines covering the walls, and a garden outside the door.It has been left unattended for a long time, the garden is full of weeds, and the vines almost cover the building.

Shen Cisui stepped on a path on the weeds, walked to the door, and reached out to hold the doorknob.

tick-

Fingerprint verification passed.

Shen Cisui opened the door and said in a low voice, "I'm back."

Behind him was the evening wind, blowing the weeds rattling, the house was empty, and dust was blowing in his face. Other than that, no one responded to him.

Lo turned on the lights and heater in the living room.Shen Cisui couldn't see much emotion in his eyes, and dragged his suitcase into the door.

This is Shen Cisui's home.

Shen Cisui had a rough life experience.He was born in the third star field, not a Seleucid. He was murdered ten years ago and came here by narrow escape.

At that time, Shen Cisui lost a lot of blood, huddled on the corner of the street covered with a thick layer of snow, almost dying.Fortunately, he met his teacher and senior brother, and he was rescued and taken in by them, and later he was adopted and became a family.

The teacher is a lazy person who always likes to read on the lazy sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. After Shen Cisui enters the door, he will turn his head and say welcome back with a smile.At this time, the senior brother always pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, urging him to change clothes quickly, wash his hands and eat.

There is also a dog at home, a snow-white Samoyed, which looks clumsy and clumsy, but is quite clever in begging for food.

There are not many people living in this small building, but it is never deserted and quiet.

But a year ago, Shen Cisui received a call from the Seleucid Police Station.The person on the other end of the phone told him that there was a fire in your house on Christmas Eve. Unfortunately, we were unable to rescue your family members.

At that moment, Shen Cisui fell into an ice cave.

His family members were all dead, on Christmas Eve when the world was full of joy and the sky was freezing, but he was far away in Fei Leng Cui, because it took too much time to go back and forth, so he escaped.

When I rushed back, I saw two corpses wrapped in white cloth and a charred house.

Shen Cisui found a pair of cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet to change into, activated the housekeeping robots, let them clean the indoor and outdoor, and then placed an order in the supermarket and bought some ingredients.

It has been renovated, and the layout and decoration are the same as before, but the furniture is very new, showing a sense of coldness.After getting used to it for a while, Shen Cisui walked into the kitchen.

He has always been smart and can learn everything quickly, but he is not good at cooking. The brother has taught him many times, but the result is still worrying.He checked the recipe carefully, waited for the ingredients to arrive, and spent a long time in the kitchen to make a soup pot.

It's sour radish and old duck soup. He used the base material from the supermarket, and it smells delicious.

It was past midnight.Shen Cisui put the soup pot on the table, and put the dishes that were cooked in a while, and then put the three sets of bowls and chopsticks.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Shen Cisui sat in his seat.

"You always like to eat this on Christmas Eve. I'm not good at cooking, so don't be disgusted."

Shen Cisui picked up the spoon to serve the soup, while talking, it seemed that his teacher and senior brother were still sitting across from each other.His tone was very light, accompanied by the bubbling sound of the soup pot, he paused occasionally, sounding so sad.

"I had a good year this year. I didn't waste my studies, and I didn't skip classes... I also met someone I knew before, and he helped me a lot."

"Your health is fine, I went to the hospital for an examination, you don't have to worry..."

He spoke slowly, drank half a bowl of soup he cooked, ate another piece of radish, put down his chopsticks, and became silent.The warm yellow light reflected in his clear black eyes, like two blazing fires.

"...the police couldn't find any evidence that the fire wasn't an accident, but I know it wasn't an accident...and I figured out why it happened."

"I will reproduce Odin successfully, find the murderer, and avenge you."

His tone was firm.

Shen Cisui slept until the afternoon, went to the cemetery, cleaned the dust on the tombstone, and then walked slowly in the ancient city of Seleu until night fell.

Although Seleucid is small, it has a strong festive atmosphere. Every household has been carefully decorated, and the aroma of baked cakes and other foods wafts far.On the road, I often met children making snowmen and playing snowball fights. Shen Cisui passed them by without stopping.

After three days like this, Shen Cisui packed his luggage and returned.

Another thirty-hour flight.For the first two or three hours, Shen Cisui fell asleep intermittently, but then he couldn't sleep anymore and started watching old movies.When he was about to walk out of the terminal, he remembered that the terminal's do not disturb mode seemed to be on all the time.After closing it, the message swipe popped up, and the screen was filled with blessing text messages, with a few messages from the study group scattered among them.After scanning around, he didn't reply, so he cut out and called a car.

It is also snowing in Fei Leng Cui, and it is the evening rush hour, and the whole city is congested.

Shen Cisui was squeezed in the traffic, and he didn't move forward for a long time. His side face was reflected in the car window, his eyebrows and eyes were downcast, and his expression was very calm.

He didn't like the loneliness in the small building in Seleucid, and he didn't like the hustle and bustle of Emerald City full of traffic.

The world is big, and he has no home to return to.

Halfway through the shuttle, Shen Cisui looked away from the window, manually adjusted the destination, and changed it to Yuan Xingye.

He didn't tell Yuan Xingye in advance that this person happened to be there when he arrived.

The study on the second floor was brightly lit, and Hara Hoshino was holding a remote meeting.Shen Cisui pushed open the door with a chill in the wind and snow, went straight over, straddled Yuan Xingye, ripped off his tie, and began to kiss.

"Huh?" Yuan Hoshino raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to cut a video.
