Kou Dong was not actually asleep. He was lying on his cloud-sunk bed, his cheeks pressed against the fluffy bedding. Feeling the twins silently blow out the candles and exit the room.

The darkness is a slightly thick silk cloth, and the moonlight is a muslin, with a layer hanging loosely above it. Kou Dong hugged the quilt and turned over gently on the bed.

He was thinking of other things.

In Kou Dong's memory, he was raised by the owner of this house. He didn't remember where he was born, but when he opened his eyes he was already here, at the knees of this mysterious, unknown master. No one in the manor explained to him the identity of the master. Those servants asked for anything from him and never refused any of his requests, but they only kept silent about men.

"Those things we shouldn't tell you," the twins would tell him when he pressed on, "you are too young, and one day, when you grow up, the master will naturally tell you all this."

Kou Dong didn't understand the meaning of growing up in their mouths, and he felt that he had already passed the age they described. But the servants didn't see it that way. They looked at him with love and affection, as if they were watching a young bird that was still walking and staggering. They only wished that they could chew the food themselves and feed it into his mouth bit by bit.

Their eyes were too focused. Kou Dong grew up under such concentrated attention, and gradually became accustomed to being watched so enthusiastically by them. He didn't know how to describe it - it was as if these people were on a mission for him and were born for him.

Kou Dong woke up in the middle of the night, stood up and wanted to pour himself a glass of water, but before his hand touched the teapot, there was a soft push from the door.

The twin figures appeared there.

"What do you need?" The twins stepped forward quickly and took the teacup in front of him, "Do you need tea? I'll make it for you now."

Kou Dong felt incredible, he couldn't understand a little.

He woke up suddenly, without warning, and without ringing the golden bell.

But how did the twins know he was awake?

This question kept in his mind for a while, but for some reason, he didn't say it. A few minutes later, he drank tea and went to bed, and under the influence of what kind of thoughts, he sat up again, deliberately held his breath, and listened to the movement in front of the door.

As expected, the twins opened the door again and walked towards him gracefully as usual. The elder brother held a candlestick in his hand, and the candlelight made the shadows of the two people elongated, like two lanky and tall puppets being held upright on the floor by strings.

"Is there anything else you need? Young master."

Kou Dong vaguely felt something was wrong, and when the man came back, he raised this doubt to the man.

"Aren't they sleeping?—watching at my door all night long?"

The man's hand tidying up the corners of his clothes paused, as if he could hear the suspicion in his words.

"Why don't you sleep," the man replied, "it just happened to be here on the night watch."

Later, when Kou Dong opened the door again, he didn't see the twins anymore, only two dolls sat silently by his bedside, shoulder to shoulder, head to head, and their black eyes looked at him - that was This time the man brought back the gift given to him. As the man said, that night was just a coincidence, and there is no one in the world who does not need rest.

If you really don't need it, you're not a human being.

Kou Dong is very dependent on men. In his opinion, this is a necessity.

He ghostly remembered the first time he saw a man. Although the man once laughed and said that he was afraid that he had come up with it himself, Kou Dong firmly believed that it was true, even if he should have just been born and had no memory at that time. baby.

He remembered those pitch-black eyes, the eyelashes drooping tightly, and an inexplicable attitude floated from them - as if sad, but determined. The man's arm was so hard when he held him, he even felt pain, but he didn't cry.

He smelled the man's scent, which was very light, clear and long.

Like snow, like pine trees.

He liked the smell very much, so he leaned forward and bit the corner of the man's shirt.

This time, the bite as a baby seemed to lay the foundation and imprint on the relationship between the two in the future. In short, after that, the man raised him very carefully, and as expected, he was very dependent on this person.

This kind of dependence is like a chick to an adult bird, who can't see the other and even whimper anxiously. Although Kou Dong, who grew up, realizes that such an almost sticky dependence is somewhat shameful, this emotional bond has been linked from childhood to adulthood, and it cannot be taken apart or removed.

Even if he refused to admit that he missed him, he knew in his heart that he was lying.

Simply admit it.

When he was twelve years old, he knew the man's name.

"Ye-yan-zhi."

It was a man who taught Kou Dong to write word by word. His hand was a circle larger than Kou Dong's, and his fingers were much longer, enough to hold Kou Dong's tightly and teach him to control the direction of the pen in his hand.

Leaf - words - it.

The three characters are very beautiful, and even the direction of the pen is beautiful.

Later, he no longer only called his brother, he would take the last two words in his name together and call "Yanzhi brother". Every time he shouted like this, the man's already dark eyes seemed to be darker than usual, and he would put him on his lap, teach him to sit on his lap, rub his forehead and kiss him.

This is probably an expression of liking, Kou Dong thinks so.

... He didn't know until later that this was a sign that the man did not intend to continue to be a man.

The delicate young master in the manor will not have any troubles, and the servants will make everything happen to him. Wait until the body grows out. Kou Dong finally had his first trouble after his body was shattered.

I don't know why, but his brother Yan didn't get close to him anymore.

Children are very sensitive to people's likes and dislikes, especially children who are pampered. The frequency of Ye Yanzhi's return became lower, and Kou Dong noticed and realized it almost immediately.

Of course, a large part of this is because the man's return is the only thing he's looking forward to, Baba's thinking. Now this thought has become out of reach, and Kou Dong can't accept it.

He sometimes thinks that he is strange. He has been pampered since childhood, but he has a kind of cautiousness that he can't understand. After finding out, he didn't make trouble or cry, thinking "Brother Yanzhi" in his heart. Don't want me anymore", but half of my heart is thinking back at a loss, wondering if I have done something wrong.

Thinking of the final result, was getting more and more aggrieved, and didn't go back to the room. hugged those furry bears and rabbits in the doll's room alone. The doll's fluffy fur has always been very soothing, and he got some comfort from it, and unconsciously curled up and fell asleep.

When waking up, someone mumbled a voice, which was said by the man and the twins.

"How do you sleep here?"

"I just didn't find the young master..." The twins seemed to whisper something, as if explaining to the man that Kou Dong was not very happy these two days.

Ye Yanzhi heard it, and immediately leaned down, picked him up from the ground, and placed him in his arms. His bare calves dangled from the loose nightgown, and his ankles were held by the man and rubbed against the lonely bone.

The man's hand was cold, just like his breath, there was no temperature.

"Be careful of catching a cold."

In those words, as always, it was full of pity.

This kind of sympathy seemed to give Kou Dong a little confidence all at once, so he suddenly reached out and hooked his neck. This time it was almost ferocious, and the teaching man's figure swayed slightly, as if looking at him in surprise.

"Baby?"

Kou Dong said in his heart that he was going to die, and he couldn't hear the man calling him like that—the tone was too real, as if he was really a pearl, a treasure, held in the palm of his hand.

But it's a fucking lie, no one would throw away jewelry so easily.

The young master's temper finally came up here. He hooked the man's neck and asked him why he came back after so many days. Ye Yanzhi had a very strange smelly sweetness on his body today. He didn't know what it was, but he didn't like it. After questioning, he unexpectedly saw the man smile slightly.

"What," Ye Yanzhi said softly, "miss me?"

Kou Dong confidently admitted it.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with thinking about men, he just felt a little shame for being too clingy. But that shame is being held firmly by anger at the moment, and he can't lift his head at all, and can only sink into the **** water.

The man said, "Just to deal with something."

Kou Dong believed that men never lied to him. But he didn't breathe a sigh of relief because he knew that if the man wanted to, he would definitely come back to see him.

It just means it's not enough.

He was placed on the bed by Ye Yanzhi, but he did not withdraw his hand, and still stubbornly hooked the man's neck. The man didn't leave, and simply sat beside his bed.

"how?"

He didn't speak, but Ye Yanzhi understood and smiled slightly.

"Baby," he almost sighed, "you can't ask me to do so much."

Kou Dong felt even more uneasy.

Isn't that kind of identity?

So what is possible?

The man's breath was restrained and cold, and his breath was cold. His eyes were caged in a velvet-like dark color, still striking.

He is more moving than this darkness.

"Still be my baby, and I will still love you. But you can't ask for anything else."

He said lowly and slowly.

"Be my lover, I will belong to you from body to soul."

Ye Yanzhi was silent for a while, and the scattered strands of hair fell on the young man's face.

"Baby."

He said almost coaxingly, looking down at the child who was raised by his own hands and looked clean like a blank sheet of paper. He sank into the pile of soft dolls, revealing a fragile, thin, white neck like a paper moon in the water.

"Which one do you want to be?"

——From the body to the soul, there is nothing more moving than such a temptation.

He knew that the child didn't even understand the meaning of a lover, but he still threw out such a bait. The indifference of these days has made the child stand up with thorns all over his body, and now he is trembling and buried himself deeper into his chest, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly. The man's clothes were slightly wrinkled by him, and a pearl button on the top made a small red mark in the palm of his hand.

"Brother Yan..."

"The latter."

He finally jumped into the woven net, and he was wagging his tail unwittingly at him, demanding more from the source of danger.

"I want the latter."

The conscience of heaven and earth, until then, Kou Dong still didn't understand what Ye Yanzhi meant by "that kind", he just acted like a spoiled child and wanted men to accompany him more.

——But Ye Yan had no choice but to not be a human being from a long time ago. He turned over and pressed him into the pile of toys on the bed. With his words, he shot him without any scruples.

Only then did Kou Dong know that the so-called "that kind" originally meant the kind that made him cry.

If both parties are considered ships, his one can be regarded as a small boat at most, while the other party's is simply an unsinkable 10,000-ton ship - not even the quantifiers are of the same level. The waves that the other party can stir are clattering, and he can only toss and sway on the top of the waves. The twist is at stake.

When they really hit the base and the two sides collided, Kou Dong's small boat would be smashed to pieces, and only a few bits of debris were left floating in the water.

The most irritating thing is that this 10,000-ton ship is not the Titanic - it doesn't sink at all!

He whimpered and shouted countless times, but it didn't work, and when he called Yan Zhi in a soft voice, it didn't work at all, and the man was only superficial. Kou Dong once felt that Ye Yanzhi's posture was not like he was going to take him to the ends of the earth by boat, but to take him down to Huangquan...

Ye Yanzhi didn't show any signs of fatigue. From Kou Dong's point of view, his face was stained with a few flushes, and instead of his usual calm and calm appearance, he actually felt a little more radiant.

He lay down beside Kou Dong, and even had the posture of eating marrow and knowing flavor, trapping him in his arms, his slender fingers caressing the thin, white, trembling arms of the young man in his arms.

The boy's voice was still trembling, and he was curled up in a ball, with a stuffed rabbit whose ears were already soaked. The rabbit's tail was deformed by his hand, and the dark button eyes stared at him, listening to their young master whisper, complaining, "I'm going to die..."

The man took a heavy breath and patted him.

"nonsense."

The boy then leaned sleepily into the pile of dolls and stopped talking.

He quickly fell into a deep sleep, not even noticing that a teddy bear on the bed had a flash of eyes and turned his head slightly in his direction.

In fact, the change of identity on this level did not affect much. There are only two masters in this house. It doesn’t matter how they are related, whether they are father, brother or intimate lover, this independent small world is only around. They run. The only change is probably that men come back more and more often, and rarely go out again.

The twins are loyal people, and there is no change in their expressions in the face of the marks that often appear on the young master, and they serve faithfully as always.

And seven days ago, the man was going out again.

Kou Dong has rarely faced parting anymore, and since he left, he felt bored and intrigued. Seeing that he was gloomy, the twins came up with a plan, saying that they wanted to let some newcomers in the house and let them prepare for the birthday party, so as to please this noble young master.

This finally made Kou Dong interested - he had never seen anyone outside the house, let alone so many. He was lying on the window sill watching those people come in one after another, with the fresh and damp breath outside, as if he had injected something else into this gloomy house.

Live.

Kou Dong rolled over on the bed again, unable to fall asleep. This was largely because he was used to lying in the man's arms and smelling the snow-like scent.

It doesn't mean he wants to do something before going to bed at all.

Kou Dong thought firmly in his heart.

no way.

Suddenly there was another movement outside the door, as if someone's footsteps were hesitating at the door, and then the footsteps became faster. The sound of the cloth rubbing against the floor sounded, and Kou Dong felt a little strange, got off the bed and stretched out his hand to pull the door.

He only opened the door a crack, and through the crack, he saw a tall figure tremblingly hiding in the dark corner.

She is tall and has long reddish-brown hair, and she can see the unevenness of her figure at such a glance. It was just like he was injured, and he was still clutching one arm, and a thick blood color seeped from his fingers.

Kou Dong has seen him before, and this person is also in today's rookie team.

What he didn't understand was why she was here.

At the same time, the newcomer apparently caught a glimpse of him. Her chest suddenly heaved up and down a few times, looking a little flustered, and then she glanced to the side in fear - there were already two identical shadows reflected on the stairs, and the twins' footsteps were approaching.

Kou Dong knew the twins, and they would never let others approach him, not even the other servants here. Apart from their masters, the only ones who can go up this floor are themselves.

If discovered, the newcomer in front of him will definitely be punished.

Apparently the newcomers also heard.

She gritted her teeth, her eyes wandering, and finally, as if she had finally made up her mind, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Kou Dong.

"You," she said quickly, her voice low, "you...let me hide, okay?"

——

Lin Mengmeng felt bad from stepping on this corridor. It's not that she didn't doubt Lu Ran's intentions before, but Lu Ran is indeed a person who can incite others, and she really needs money urgently. He was really moved by Lu Ran's long talk.

"You just go to the door of that young master," Lu Ran said, "Maybe you can find something else... Now it seems that whether it can be successful is on the young master alone. If he doesn't take the initiative here, the NPC will not let him. If you don’t go where you go, are you all waiting to die?”

He accentuated again.

"Not only you, I will also go out to find clues. We will split up and it will be more efficient."

When Lin Mengmeng asked him why he didn't go, Lu Ran sounded extremely impatient.

"You look like a woman!" he shouted, "how do you let me, a big man, get close to that young master?"

He stretched out his hand vulgarly and made an obscene gesture, "You can't be longer and pee farther than anyone, right?"

It's so reasonable that it's impossible to argue against it.

Lin Mengmeng had to bite the bullet and go to the floor that was repeatedly reminded not to approach. I saw that no one was relieved, but the plush doll appeared out of nowhere, dragging a long shadow and chasing him all the way, no matter where she hid. She can be found anywhere, and the picture is comparable to a horror movie, at least it can make her have nightmares for three days in a row. Her legs and arms were bitten by the doll in hiding, and she still doesn't understand how those cloth teeth and tongues have the ability to tear the flesh and blood vessels, and a lot of blood dripped dripping.

After finally staggering to hide in the corner, he saw another door in front of him being pulled open. Lin Mengmeng's heart was hanging high at that moment, thinking that she was afraid it was going to end.

If there was another doll coming out of it, she couldn't resist no matter what.

She is afraid that she will not be the first to die in this game.

With this thought in her heart, she glanced at the crack of the door in fear, but saw a strange face, a face that belonged to a human being, appeared behind the crack of the door.

Not a doll!

She felt a joy in her heart, followed by a chill—

Even if it's not a doll, it's an NPC, and if it's also malicious...

She looked at each other. This NPC doesn't look very old, his flesh and skin are very white, the kind of white that doesn't see the sun, and it is shiny and smooth against the candlelight in the corridor, like a foggy paper moon with soft corners. He is undoubtedly good-looking, and this kind of good-looking is different from the good-looking of the twins, and it is not aggressive. Perhaps the familiar black hair and black eyes are more friendly in this dark manor, and it is easy to let people off guard.

Looks like a kind person.

Footsteps were heard not far away, and the twins approached.

Lin Mengmeng gritted her teeth, remembered her purpose, and finally summoned up her courage.

"...let me hide for a while, okay?"

The young man frowned slightly and seemed to think for a moment. Lin Mengmeng's stomach was churning in her stomach, wrinkling nervously, for fear that he would disagree.

Fortunately, in the next second, the teenager opened the door of his room and said without doubt, "Come in!"

Lin Mengmeng was overjoyed, and then headed in.

The moment she came in, the door panel was lightly closed at the same time. There were low voices outside, as if the twins were asking who and what.

Immediately, a hand knocked on Kou Dong's door, politely.

"Master?"

Lin Mengmeng suddenly widened her eyes and turned to look at the young man beside her.

No one in the room answered, Kou Dong held his breath.

The people outside still didn't give up, and after a few seconds, they knocked again.

"Master?"

The twins' voices were low.

"Are you awake?"

Kou Dong kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word. The twins seemed sure he was still asleep and moved away.

Lin Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak, but was pushed hard by the boy, motioning her to hide in the pile of dolls.

Everyone is gone, why are you hiding?

Her head was full of confusion, but after all, she obediently got in, and was covered by these dolls again, and her whole body was shivering. At the same time, the door handle was suddenly twisted, and the twins appeared at the door.

Kou Dong was already lying on the bed, as always, tightly covered with the quilt. The twins shuttled around for a week, their eyes slowly falling on the dolls piled up in the corner.

They approached.

Lin Mengmeng's heart lifted again, and it almost jumped out of her chest. She stared and listened outside, feeling the twins' hands have already landed on the top stuffed bear—

The boy turned over at this moment.

He snorted twice, then raised his eyes, his voice was sleepy, as if he had just woken up.

"What are you doing?"

The twins paused, then bowed respectfully in the darkness.

"Master."

"I think I heard someone knock on the door just now," the boy muttered, "what's the matter?"

The twins exchanged glances with each other.

"It's okay." They finally answered, the blue eyes were as deep as the underground river.

"It's just... some disobedient bugs."

just bugs.

Insects should not disturb the young master's sweet dreams.

The author has something to say:

Kou Tiantian: I report my cub, good people don't do it, they have to be beasts!

Leafy Beast: Hmm. Cool after all.

Kou Tiantian:  …
