By the time they got back to the residence, the shooting time was just over, and everyone else had already gone back to their room.
Only Qin Youyou stuck to the mud film and played ranked on the sofa in the living room. As soon as Jiang Zhao pushed the door, he saw her bag-like face and was almost startled.
“you just got back,” Qin Youyou reminded while staring at the screen. “it looks like it’s raining tonight. Remember to close the window.”
Hearing the words, Jiang Zhao turned back to the dark sky out of the window.
No wonder he felt that the wind had become much stronger on the way back, and the short sleeves could no longer protect his body temperature. fortunately, Xiao Siye he was holding at that time was a walking stove in the form of a humanoid, which prevented him from sneezing with his arms around him.
Jiang Zhao turned on the weather forecast app on his mobile phone and found that the probability of rainfall had increased by 30 percent during the day by 65 percent.
He frowned without a trace and went upstairs to his room first.
Xiao Siye’s voice came vaguely downstairs, and before he came back, Jiang Zhao quickly took out a box of earplugs for his luggage and put them under his pillow.
This time, he ordered several things to be paved all over the place, and the program group arranged them up to expectations, only considering the layout of the room. Only there was enough space at the window, and the bed on the floor was placed beside at the window.
If it is the kind of sunny day last night, the window may also be full of stars, which is quite emotional.
There are only layers of clouds outside the window tonight, and the sea breeze can be heard from time to time. He doesn’t know which is more violent than the cold wind of December in the north.
Jiang Zhao closed the window and drew the curtains airtight, praying secretly that even if it rained tonight, there would be no thunder.
His bed on the floor is still leaning against the window. If it really thunders, he may lose sleep all night.
The door clicked and Xiao Siye came back.
Jiang Zhao arranged the quilt on the floor, turned his head, and asked, “who washes first?”
Xiao Siye: “you go first.”
Without being polite to him, Jiang Zhao rushed into the bathroom with his pajamas, took a quick bath, quickly got dressed, and ran into the quilt.
When Xiao Siye went to wash the bathroom and came out, he saw Jiang Zhao wrapped in earplugs, covered with quilts like a baby silkworm, looking ready.
Xiao Siye looked at the tightened curtains and went to the door to turn on the lights: “good night.”
Jiang Zhao stuffed earplugs and didn’t seem to hear.
The bedroom darkened instantly.
The quality of the earplugs is good, and the curtain can block out the light very well. if he falls asleep like this, he may not be able to hear the thunder.
However, the fantasy is beautiful, and the reality is that Jiang Zhao found that he couldn’t sleep.
He sleeps on his side, on his back, on his stomach, and huddled together, no matter how his posture changes, no matter how he counts thousands of kittens, he is still in high spirits.
If you can’t sleep, it’s easy to get restless, and you’re more likely to get irritable. For the first time, Jiang Zhao felt that the mask on his face was in the way. He pulled it off, and a moment later, he felt that the earplugs made his ears hurt.
There is a good chance that this is an illusion or a psychological hint that Jiang Zhao can’t stand it.
He hesitated for a few seconds and then quietly took out the earplugs.
This is much more comfortable than just now. Jiang Zhao stretched his legs relaxedly in the nest. He was about to switch to his habitual position and went to sleep when he suddenly felt a flash of light that came out of the cracks in the curtains.
Jiang Zhao’s face changed, but without waiting for him to put the earplugs back in, a loud thunder burst out.
“Boom–”
Jiang Zhao felt his mind blank for two seconds.
His hands and feet began to get cold, and in a moment a slight cold sweat oozed from his temples.
It was an uncontrollable physiological reaction, and the night weakened his eyesight and strengthened his other senses so much that he always felt that the thunder had just fallen beside him as if it had hit him directly.
“Jiang Zhao?”
Maybe he was breathing too fast, and Xiao Siye’s voice came from across the bed.
He could hear the worry in Xiao Siye’s voice. He slowed down and said, “I didn’t.”
Another flash of lightning.
Jiang Zhao buried his head directly in the quilt and closed his eyes
There was a huge thunder, and his body jerked involuntarily as if his soul had been smashed with it. After waiting for a long time, he stumbled together again.
He finished what he just didn’t finish: “… I’m fine.”
Xiao Siye has stopped talking.
Jiang Zhao knew that his reaction was not normal for others, but he could not explain it.
When the first episode was recorded, he didn’t want others to know that he was afraid of thunder, so he tried his best to hide it. Fortunately, Xiao Siye thought the thunder was noisy, so he gave him earplugs.
Wait a minute.
Normal people always don’t keep earplugs with them, and does he wants to find him when it thunders?
Even he will. How did Xiao Siye know that he was awake at that time?
For a moment, like a blessing to the soul, Jiang Zhao suddenly asked:
“you know?”
It was quiet by the bed.
Then came the man’s low and gentle response: “I know.”
He was afraid of thunder, and although he had never confessed it to the outside world, anyone who was close to him would know about it.
So Qin Youyou will consciously or unconsciously remind him to remember the window, and Zuo Xiaoqiu will remember to prepare earplugs with him.
But Xiao Siye… How do you know that?
Before that, Xiao Siye went to get the earplugs, “not because of the noise of thunder, but to get it from him?
Jiang Zhao’s brain was a little confused, and his mood gradually became complicated.
The weakness he tried to hide had long been known by Xiao Siye, “even when they were tit-for-tat,” he didn’t see him mock him with it, and the man even helped him quietly.
It turned out that Xiao Siye was so delicate at that time that he didn’t even notice it.
Jiang Zhao’s silence made Xiao Siye a little uneasy.
Waiting for Jiang Zhao’s response, he couldn’t help but worry about whether Jiang Zhao felt that he had lost his pride, so he didn’t want to talk to him.
“it was in college.”
He just confessed.
Jiang Zhao was stupefied, and the quilt poked out a small half of his face and looked in the direction of Xiao Siye.
“When I was in college, I overheard people say that you hated thunderstorms and would wear earplugs when you heard thunder,” Xiao Siye said. “that day I happened to remember that I had earplugs, so I picked you up.”
After more than ten seconds of silence, Jiang Zhao answered lowly: “…… That’s right. ”
“thank you.”
Xiao Siye’s curled fingers relaxed in an instant.
In fact, he only told half the truth.
He found that Jiang Zhao was afraid of thunder and was on a rainy day during the summer vacation in Daqing.
At that time, he applied to stay in school for the summer vacation, took a part-time job in the school map museum, and prepared the study content for the next semester in advance. Because he took a small role, he will join the group in filming in the second half of the year. In order to prevent his grades from slipping and get a scholarship, he can only finish all the “exams” ahead of schedule.
Except for the final week, there are few people in the library of the university, and during summer vacation it is even more deserted. There was a sudden torrential rain in the capital that day, within a few minutes, “the sunny day turned into a torrential rain.” he stood between the shelves looking for the tools he needed, and then took his eyes out of the window.
But before long, thunder suddenly fell, and he vaguely heard the sound of something falling to the ground.
At that time, Xiao Siye thought that it was a bored student who ran into the library to take shelter from the rain and accidentally dropped something.
But when he went to the aisle between the shelves he wanted to check, he suddenly found that just across from him, the thin teenager was sitting on the ground, his head curled up on his knee, his knuckles clinging to his forearm, leaving a clear red mark.
He didn’t expect to meet Jiang Zhao here.
He thought that Jiang Zhao was not feeling well, but there was another flash of thunder outside the window, so he saw the boy shaking all over and clasping his knees.
The thunder shook, and he saw Jiang Zhao’s neck as pale as snow, like a dying swan.
In his impression, the proud, perverse, and careless son of Heaven, the young master Jiang, who walked alone and supported by the stars, showed such a weak character for the first time.
He seems that an extremely beautiful and fragile glazed bamboo will be broken at the slightest touch.
Xiao Siye originally felt that the words on his heart are all stuck in his throat at this moment.
He took a few quiet steps back and went in the opposite direction.
Then, holding an umbrella, he went to the convenience store to buy a hot drink and a box of candy, and then went back to the Tupu Store.
He wanted to find an excuse to put these things on Jiang Zhao, but when he got back, the urgent rain basically stopped, and Jiang Zhao naturally disappeared.
circumstances change with the passage of time.
It’s the same heavy rain, lightning, and thunder.
This time, Jiang Zhao was just around the corner from him.
With the help of the ghost, Xiao Siye suddenly said:
“do you want to go to bed? Stay away from the window. ”
Before he uttered his words, he felt sorry and regretted it.
It’s so impulsive.
Jiang Zhao might think he’s out of his mind, or even feel sorry for him, and then get angry.
But in less than two seconds he replied.
“good.”
The soft voice of the young man made Xiao Siye wonder if he was hearing voices.
After a while, Jiang Zhao picked up his pillow and quilt in the dark.
Xiao Siye immediately got up, got out of bed and helped him make the bed.
Then the two men lay in the same bed again.
The sound of rain outside the window still did not stop. When Jiang Zhao lay down, he felt that the rain seemed to be far away in an instant.
He attributed it to the sense of security brought by the bed.
……. Although he is reluctant to admit it, the existence of another person makes him feel a little at ease.
