Chapter 19 Completely Occupied
Sitting in the taxi on the way back, Ye Xiu looked out the window at the passing street scene all the way in silence, not knowing what he was thinking, while Huang Shaotian sitting beside him looked out the window and looked at the advertisement pasted behind the front seat of the taxi poster, looked at Ye Xiu again, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.When he looked at Ye Xiu again, he found that the other party was also looking at him, and he couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment.
"What do you want to say?" Seeing that Huang Shaotian hesitated to speak, Ye Xiu asked.
"Hmm... what are we going to do next?"
In the past, Huang Shaotian could disregard the other party's true intentions, as long as he unilaterally did what he wanted to do, but now... faced with the need to cooperate with Ye Xiu to achieve a certain thing, Huang Shaotian felt Unprecedented confusion.As for Ye Xiu, obviously confused by the question, he also showed a somewhat confused expression.
"How to do what?" Ye Xiu asked back.
"It's just...uh... where are we going next? What to do? I mean..." Regarding the completely blank part of the database, Huang Shaotian, who has always been very eloquent, showed obvious barriers to expression.
Noticing the strange look from the driver in the front seat looking at him through the rearview mirror, Ye Xiu patted Huang Shaotian's hand.
"Just like before, just go home, eat, and sleep. Or...do you want to go shopping?"
Ye Xiu raised his chin, and turned his gaze to the advertising poster behind the front seat of the taxi.
It was a promotional poster for the 3rd anniversary celebration of a commercial street located near the west of the city. On the poster were pictures of stalls of various small businesses and hawkers and blueprints of lively street scenes.It was mentioned above that during the celebration period, from 4:9 pm to [-]:[-] pm every day, many stalls will be set up in the pedestrian street area to sell goods. There are merchants settled in the commercial street, and there are also short-term merchants who join temporarily after approval. There is no restriction on the type of goods.During the period, there will be various lucky draws, photo taking and other small activities.It is clearly said that it is a low price to give back to the merchants, but in fact it is to create an atmosphere and take the opportunity to promote and increase popularity.
Although Huang Shaotian didn't care much about other people's evaluation and advice on his artificial intelligence identity, his previous outings were generally limited to visits, shopping, etc. related to Ye Xiu, and he never went to places that were too crowded and lively.Hearing what Ye Xiu said at this moment, his heart was a little bit moved.Ye Xiu saw Huang Shaotian's thoughts, so he asked the taxi driver to turn around and adjust the destination.
It was already 6 o'clock in the evening when the two of them arrived at the commercial street, which was when the commercial street began to become lively.Ye Xiu took Huang Shaotian for a stroll along the streets, eating all kinds of snacks along the way and actually felt 6% full.
Suddenly, Huang Shaotian's footsteps stopped, his eyes stayed on a stall covered with various small ornaments and gadgets, he walked up to him and picked up a pendant.The glass pendant in the shape of an oval water drop is mixed with two liquids of purple and red. It is a bit seductive under the light at night, and the outer wall of the glass pendant is intertwined with a few hollow metal shells like thorns and vines, which are deliberately old. The advanced craftsmanship adds a bit of retro taste, and the semi-enclosed structure and the glass pendant inside show an indescribable mystery.
Seeing that Huang Shaotian didn't keep up, Ye Xiu turned around and took two steps back, following Huang Shaotian's gaze, his gaze was fixed on the pendant in his hand, he took a sip of the cigarette he was holding, threw the butt under his feet and stamped it out, He said, "Boss, how much is it?"
"Ah? No, no, I'm just looking. Boss, we won't buy it." Hearing this, Huang Shaotian hurriedly threw the pendant in his hand back to the booth, and waved his hand.Ye Xiu picked up the pendant again and handed it to Huang Shaotian.
"Just treat it... as a gift from me." Ye Xiu said and paid the money, took the pendant in Huang Shaotian's hand and walked around behind him.
"This should be the first time I've given you a present, right?"
"No, this dress...isn't it what you gave me?"
It was only then that Ye Xiu realized that Huang Shaotian was wearing the clothes he had chosen for Huang Shaotian that day. He froze for a moment, and suddenly saw that the cuff on the right was torn, which must have been caused by the explosion.Ye Xiu's eyes flickered for a moment, and he hooked the pendant's hook calmly. He patted his shoulder twice and said, "This kind of dress suits you very well. I'll buy you another day."
"Huh?" Huang Shaotian looked at Ye Xiu and blinked, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. "What's wrong with you today? Take me shopping, buy this and that... Tell you, I don't need your sympathy and charity."
"No."
"Then tell me, why?"
Facing Huang Shaotian's pure eyes, Ye Xiu scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Simple... I think I should treat you like this after realizing my feelings."
Huang Shaotian was taken aback by Ye Xiu's answer, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.He subconsciously quickened his pace, then turned around as if he suddenly remembered something, but while turning around, he stepped on someone's foot, that person let out an "oops", and Huang Shaotian hurriedly apologized.
"Sorry sorry, I didn't mean to, are you okay?"
"It's all right? Does he seem to be all right?" A naughty man pointed at the grinning man who was being supported by two men.
"Ah? I just... stepped on it lightly. Is it that serious? I'm not very heavy. You are pretending to blackmail me, right?"
Seen through by Huang Shaotian's straightforward words, the faces of the men froze, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Since you know everything, then we brothers will stop talking nonsense, let's take it out!"
"I have no money." Huang Shaotian spread his hands innocently.
"Huh? Who are you kidding! Going to the night market without money, you think we are fools!"
"But I really don't have any money..." In order to prove his words, Huang Shaotian dug out his empty pockets.
Obviously, Huang Shaotian's confession made the four men feel like they were being fooled. The leading man blushed, swished a gun out of his trouser pocket, and said threateningly, "Don't fight with the brothers! If you pay, you pay, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, how?"
The sudden words made the men look away from Huang Shaotian's body, and they saw that another man was smoking a half-cigarette at this time, squinting his eyes and looking at them with disdain and provocation.
"Damn it! There's even a helper!" The man cursed in a low voice, and took half a step back.Although he knew that he had a large number of people, but the sharpness in the eyes of the other party made him dare not look directly at him.
"I have learned some massage and bone setting, how about I help that brother take a look?" Ye Xiu actually bent one leg forward and squatted down, as if waiting for the other party to check the injury.
The four of them looked at each other in dismay, and in the end the leader put away his gun, cursed bitterly: "Unlucky me!" and left in a hurry.
"Tsk tsk... I see you scare them." Huang Shaotian shook his head and sighed, then touched Ye Xiu's foot with his toe twice, and continued, "Hey, everyone has left, and you are still squatting to do it." Well?"
For a moment, Ye Xiu suddenly raised his head to look directly at Huang Shaotian, and asked seriously, "Brother, is this posture handsome?"
Huang Shaotian was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing "puchi", unable to restrain himself.
Seeing the smile on Huang Shaotian's face at this time, Ye Xiu also smiled.From the time he left Blue Rain, he had noticed the anxious look on Huang Shaotian's face from time to time. He understood that it was because of himself, but he couldn't think of any way to relieve his anxiety.He stood up, his eyes gently passed Huang Shaotian's hand, and said lightly "Let's go".
The figures of the two men were once again submerged in the bustling night market streets, and despite the crowds around them, they held each other tightly, as if the bustling crowd around them had nothing to do with them.
As the night darkened, vendors in the night market began to clean up their stalls in twos and threes, and Ye Xiu and Huang Shaotian also set foot on their way home.Along the way, Huang Shaotian talked a lot, it seemed that certain burdens in his heart were let go, and the switch of the chatterbox was also turned on at the same time.He chattered all the way, and Ye Xiu chatted with him all the way. In the end, even Huang Shaotian said that this was the day he had talked the most so far...
When we got home, it was already close to 10 o'clock. After a short rest, the two went into the bathroom.Huang Shaotian entered the bathroom in the living room, took off his clothes and turned on the nozzle to adjust the water temperature.He stood under the nozzle, closed his eyes, and the warm water sprayed on his face and flowed all over his body.Everything that happened with Ye Xiu tonight kept flashing in his mind, provocative words, gentle expressions, holding hands...
An unprecedented sense of strangeness kept pounding Huang Shaotian's nerves, peaceful and warm, filling his whole body from the inside out, making him deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.Suddenly, a mass of white glare shattered those warm pictures and that person's smiling face.Huang Shaotian suddenly opened his eyes and supported the bathroom wall, adjusting his breathing, he turned the wrench of the water heater to the end, the icy water hit his back, making him shiver involuntarily.
The pendant on the neck is shaking in front of the chest. Under the wrapping of the water flow, the two colors inside the glass body flow more attractively, and the retro metal vines wrapped outside are also washed more dazzlingly.
This pendant was buried among many accessories at that time, but Huang Shaotian was immediately attracted by the two blending colors inside, in the oval drop-shaped glass pendant, it was like the blood in the human heart.And when he picked up the pendant and saw the metal vines wrapped around it, he felt a bit bitter again.
So gorgeous, but doomed to be bound.
Huang Shaotian grabbed the dangling pendant on his chest and held it in the palm of his hand, the icy metal feeling washed by the cold water made him involuntarily increase his strength.
"If... I'm not an AI..."
Different from the calm acceptance in the past, for the first time, Huang Shaotian felt a little unwilling to accept his background in artificial intelligence.
Ye Xiu came out of the bathroom in the bedroom with a towel on. The sound of running water in the living room told him that Huang Shaotian hadn't finished washing.He went into the study next door, took a box from the bookshelf, and gently brushed off the dust on the surface. He picked at the end, took out a pair of things like epaulettes lying flat inside, and removed the box tied on it. He put the two thin ropes back in the box, held the two thin ropes in his hand, rubbed them lightly twice, bent them a few times and stacked them on top of the shoulder straps.After closing the top cover of the box, he picked up a small lock in the small iron box on the desktop and hung it on the outer end of the box. He locked the lock with a sound of "Gada", and put the box and the key into the lower floor. With a relieved smile, he closed the drawer.
Huang Shaotian brushed his hair and pushed open the bathroom door. Just as he saw Ye Xiu coming out of the study, he looked at the open door behind him, showing a slightly confused look, because in his impression, the door of that room had always been open. It was locked and closed, and Ye Xiu had specifically explained that the room could not be entered.
"The door to the study?"
"Ah..." Ye Xiu responded without an answer.
Huang Shaotian didn't ask any more questions, and stayed at the door of the study for a few more seconds curiously, then walked to the sofa to make the bed, Ye Xiu also followed him to the sofa, and sat down on the back of the outer armrest.He stopped Huang Shaotian's hand pulling the bed board with one hand, grabbed Huang Shaotian's pillow with the other hand, and raised his eyebrows.
"Can you hold the quilt by yourself?"
Huang Shaotian blushed as if knowing, grabbed the quilt at the foot of the sofa and stuffed it into Ye Xiu's arms.Ye Xiu was not annoyed, he bent his arms to clamp the soft quilt, and at the same time grabbed Huang Shaotian's hand and clenched it in his hand and stood up. Huang Shaotian was staggered by his force, and fell directly into the other person's embrace. On the quilt, Ye Xiu immediately patted Huang Shaotian on the back with the pillow he was holding with his other hand, and Huang Shaotian was trapped between the pillow and the quilt by Ye Xiu, unable to move.
"How about it, are you convinced?"
Hearing the other party's provocative tone, Huang Shaotian felt unwilling but had no choice but to shake his arms to express his submission.Ye Xiu nodded in satisfaction, opened the arm holding the pillow, ignored Huang Shaotian's indignation, stuffed the quilt into his arms, pulled up one of his arms for him to hug, and held his other. one hand.
The strange feeling struck again, pounding Huang Shaotian's nerves, compared to the warmth and peace before, at this time... there seemed to be a little more short-circuit throbbing and uncontrollable excitement.
Huang Shaotian felt the other's knuckle fingers and warm palm, and held it tightly.
He knew that in this so-called relationship, he had completely fallen, and no matter what happened again, he could no longer turn back.
He just wanted to hold this man's hand tightly and never let go.
