"How do you want it back?"
Chen Yang's tone was full of playfulness. How could he get it back? Another kiss, of course.
Noticing Chen Yang's joke, Lin Luo's face gradually turned red. He had clearly said not to tease him with these words, but why, why did he continue to do this?
"You really hate it." Lin Luo whispered to the closed door, not caring if Chen Yang could hear him or not.
Lying on the bed, Lin Luo thought about the encounter with Xiao Luo tonight. He thought about the scenes he said about life and about the parallel universes.
Lin Luo thought of a movie he had seen in college. It had been played by Shrews, his first film, and it was the work that had made him a star in the movie business.
The name of the film was "Stars," the stars.
In the movie, Xiao Luo played the role of a patient with drowsiness, called Tianxuan. He didn't know when he would fall asleep, nor did he know when he would fall asleep.
Tianxuan spent almost half of her day in sleep. While he slept, he would have a dream, a dream about another time and place, in which he would no longer suffer from illness. He would be a healthy, ordinary person.
In that space and time, Tianxuan was very happy. She was no longer alone, no longer afraid and worried every day, afraid that once she slept, she would not wake up. You can be close to others and fall in love with them.
Later, Tianxuan became more and more addicted to this beautiful dream. Finally, he could no longer be afraid on his own world line, because he would never wake up again.
At the end of the movie, even though Tianxuan died, Lin Luo still believed that he must have gone to another time and space to live a happy and blissful life there.
Lin Luo walked to the balcony, raised his head to look at the tranquil night sky, and closed his eyes. Just like that morning, she seemed to be the only person left in the world.
Her eyes were closed, but she could feel that in the distant, pitch-black night sky, there was a star that was currently glowing.
It must have been her mother, her mother, letting her know that she was not alone.
Lin Luo slowly opened his eyes and stared at the direction of Merak Star in the Big Dipper. He whispered, "Mom, are you living in another parallel dimension? Over there, you, me, and father are living a peaceful life."
A tear rolled down Lin Luo's face, and in the next second, it burst.
As on that morning, she did not shed tears because of the harsh sunlight, but looked at the warm sunlight, the peaceful morning, and thought of her mother standing on the balcony, smiling, watching her father leave.
Lin Luo wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes and forced himself to keep up his spirits.
If he cried now, he might not cry too badly in front of his father on the anniversary.
"Idiot, it's so cold outside, why are you standing here?"
The sudden voice of a male startled Lin Luo. She turned her head and saw Chen Yang standing on the balcony next door. He had his hands crossed in front of his chest and had a cynical expression.
Lin Luo quickly turned his head and wiped his face. At least he couldn't lose face in front of him anymore.
However, Chen Yang had long noticed the tears at the corner of her eyes. "Lin Luo, why do you like crying on the balcony? Are you really an idiot?"
Lin Luo also said, "You are the idiot, why did you peek at me?"
"He really is an idiot."
"You bastard, why do I have to lose face in front of you every time? Why do you always make me angry? Why do you force me to pretend to be intimate with you in front of others? " As he spoke, he couldn't help but tear up.
Lin Luo thought of many scenes, not with Chen Yang, but with his father.
She thought of her father's indifference to her mother, and how her mother had wept alone in the room, and how her father had brought other women home immediately after her mother's death, and how she had had to pretend in front of others to take care of her father, pretend that they were at peace, pretend that they were father and daughter.
Those memories were like a sharp blade, slicing Lin Luo's heart again and again.
Seeing Lin Luo's tears streaming down his face, for the first time, Chen Yang was at a loss for what to do. He walked closer to the space between the two balconies, and at this moment, he was very glad that he had designed it in the first place.
Chen Yang walked to the edge of the fence and used one hand to support himself as he neatly flipped over the fence. The night wind blew against Chen Yang's clothes and hair, and his ice-cold face now revealed a trace of panic.
Chen Yang's mind was blank. He only knew that he had to stay by Lin Luo's side. If he didn't, perhaps she would leave him silently like Xia Qing.
Just like that, he ran step by step towards Lin Luo and suddenly pulled her into his arms.
Chen Yang gently caressed Lin Luo's hair, comforting her in a low voice, "Idiot, I will stay here to accompany you."
This time, Lin Luo didn't push Chen Yang away. Instead, he obediently laid on Chen Yang's chest and silently cried.
When Lin Luo was tired from crying, Chen Yang carried her across his arms and gently placed her on the bed, covering her with a blanket.
Looking at Lin Luo's sleeping face, Chen Yang felt at peace for the first time in a long time. He did not know why Lin Luo was crying tonight, nor did he know why she was crying that morning. Lin Luo was different from Xia Qing.
He stretched out his hand in front of Lin Luo's forehead, the temperature was a little unnaturally hot. Compared to the cold wind that must have blown on the balcony last night, Lin Luo who already had a slight cold had suffered from the night before. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't take it anymore.
This was Chen Yang's first time taking care of a patient. Seeing Lin Luo's flustered look, he quickly got a private doctor to come over and prescribe medicine for Lin Luo.
Lin Luo looked at the anxious Chen Yang and didn't know what to say. She was a doctor herself, so she naturally knew that her illness was not that serious. However, Chen Yang didn't even allow her to get off the bed.
"Chen Yang, I really didn't realize that you would actually care about me."
Chen Yang raised his hand and lightly tapped on Lin Luo's forehead, "Idiot, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pretend to be my girlfriend when you're sick."
"Chen Yang, I'm so thirsty."
"Not just the rice bucket, but the bucket."
Chen Yang poured a cup of hot water and passed it to Lin Luo.
After Lin Luo finished his water, Chen Yang suddenly went downstairs without a sound.
