Chapter Thirteen

In the middle of the night, the pattering rain fell silently when no one was prepared, Su Yan rolled over on the empty double bed, lay on his side and watched the raindrops hit the bay window, and then meandered down.

During this time, he always sleeps lightly.

When can't sleep, lie down and watch the night of Xiangshan, and always see the sun rise.

At his age, when he is lazy, his state is like a straight slide like a cliff.

I can't lift spirits to welcome the new day, look forward to the sunrise when can't sleep, but when look forward to the sun, find that have nothing to look forward to, so feel boring every day.

The gloomy rain continued until the early morning, and the obscure sunlight peeked out from the gloomy clouds, and smugly sprinkled it in, unable to illuminate the whole bedroom.

He was the only one in the room.

The ceiling was off-white, and the walls were off-white, and he lay on the bed, stretched out but couldn't touch anything.

Only the lonely sound of rain, tick tock.

Like vines growing out of a swamp, it ghostly entangled him with cold moisture.

WeChat rang suddenly.

Su Yan stared at the ceiling dully for a few seconds before reaching out and grabbing the phone.

Unsurprisingly, it was Wen Zichen's WeChat.

"Brother Yan, what do you want to eat in the morning?"

The bedroom and study on the third floor were his private territory, so Wen Zichen didn't dare to come up, and he usually just sent WeChat.

"Whatever. I'm up late."

He only replied a few simple words but felt very tired, WeChat rang again, he knew it was Wen Zichen's reply, and he was too lazy to open it again.

His avatar on the WeChat interface is still the back image of Xiao Xia jumping into the sea in "Whale Talk".

Every time opened it, heart clenched abruptly—pain, and a strange pleasure.

He is somewhat self-destructive.

Thinking like this, he pulled the quilt over his head, as if sinking into the deep sea, and memories flooded up like a tide...

He took a deep breath and sank in like a masochist.

When chatting privately with Xu Zhe, he said that he was fascinated by Xiao Xia's back.

When a person breaks with the world, he destroys his body and spirit together, leaving no trace, and there is a very pure beauty.

He asked Xu Zhe, is this a terrible idea?

Xu Zhe said, probably everyone has a little bit. It's just that when you grow up, people become gray, weak, ambiguous and wandering. Sometimes as long as they are almost the same, the world is relatively quiet. Therefore, middle-aged people are not idealistic, only the romance of teenagers is decisive. . I found Xia Tingwan to play Xiao Xia, Yang Dechang found Zhang Zhen to play Xiao Si, and stabbed him in "Guling Street Teenage Murder Incident" - the ideal was shattered, so it was wiped out with the world.

When Xu Zhe said this, Su Yan suddenly remembered how his brother died in front of him.

The young body that was run over by the whistling train.

When it shattered, it was not a loud bang, but a soft sound—

As Eliot wrote: This is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper.

A dahlia-like blood color occupied his field of vision.

He was eighteen years old that year, and the world's rite of passage to him was dripping with blood.

But he still did not break with the world.

He put Su Jin's diary in the closet in his heart, locked it firmly, and continued to move forward indifferently, perhaps he would rather believe that he was not injured because of it.

He was born a middle-aged man, and he pursued all the romance and infatuation, because that was exactly what he never had.

The first time saw Xia Tingwan was at the celebration banquet when Xia Tingwan returned to China after winning the Cannes Best Actor Award.

Xu Zhe knew that he was gone, but he did not ask Xu Zhe to introduce him to Xia Tingwan.

He was leaning on the railing on the second floor of the hotel, looking at Xia Ting Wan standing in the center of the first floor from a distance, the young man took the first glass from the top of the champagne tower and drank it in high spirits——

Among the crowds, Xia Ting was as beautiful as a blooming rose in the evening.

He just looked at it like this, halfway through the celebration banquet, the other actors and screenwriters of "Whale Talk" basically shuttled between the major media to communicate with each other, only Xia Tingwan slipped to the corner and found a back. Pillar.

Su Yan found it interesting. He stood on a high place, but he could still see Xia Tingwan from a different angle.

The young man hid behind the pillar, secretly lit a cigarette, as if he was playing with himself, exhaled a series of smoke rings, and then exhaled a higher ring.

After that, he seemed to be tired of playing again. He leaned his head lazily on the pillar, and tapped the pillar with his fingers boredly, as if he was tired of everything intertwined with the cups.

Su Yan stood on the second floor and watched intently. At such a distance, he couldn't actually see Xia Tingwan's features, but the beauty of the flowers in the mist still took his breath away.

In the short night standing on the second floor, he fell ill like a high fever.

His breathing became rapid, his face warmed, and the heart in his body seemed to be on a roller coaster.

He became weak and dizzy, but his eyes flickered more and more.

He had no choice but to fall in love at first sight.

After that night, the thirty-one-year-old had armed himself like never before.

He knew that it would be the most important battle of his life.

The moment when he is close to Xia Tingwan is the moment when he is closest to his ideal - whether it is for love or for himself.

He dressed himself up as a near-perfect Su Yan

Because in his heart, only Su Yan like that can be worthy of Xia Tingwan.

Su Yan is inexperienced, and in pursuit of this matter, he partly relied on the comprehensiveness of the power and money market for many years, but after arming himself, most of the time, he still just acts on the instinct of an ordinary man——

When Xia Tingwan needs him, he will appear at any time; what Xia Tingwan wants, he will give.

After he went to Feng County to deliver crayfish, Xia Tingwan began to occasionally send him WeChat messages.

Sometimes it's a selfie, sometimes it's some trivial things in life, all of which he can answer properly

It's just that Xia Tingwan sometimes sent an expression aimlessly, and he racked his brains, but he didn't know how to respond so that the conversation could continue.

Later, he simply and his assistant made Xia Tingwan's appearance in "Whale Talk" and the show, frame by frame, into an emoji package.

When Xia Tingwan suddenly saw it, she was surprised and shy, but she replied with a bit of pride: Why do I look so good in every frame, ε=(′ο*))) Alas, the emoji package is closed. Since you are so powerful, I will make you my number one fan.

He was honorably named, and was so happy to play electronic music on the car stereo, while driving the car, he swayed a few times to the rhythm.

That kind of happiness is a bit unsophisticated like someone of his age would have.

Pursuing Xia Tingwan is a sweet torture.

Xia Tingwan is a wild little deer, acting entirely out of curiosity and instinct. It will trample him with its little hooves, and lick him lightly with its tongue. He really flinched at this point, but he would come over to show him its soft ears again, and coquettishly asked him to come back and touch it.

So if it is a pure pursuit, it does not seem to be very accurate.

Pursuit is one-sided infatuation and obsession, but he and Xia Tingwan are two people's games - you advance and I retreat, turn back and forth, be fascinated.

He accompanied Xia Tingwan to Japan once. Xia Tingwan drank several times of plum wine without ice, and was so drunk that he half leaned on his arms for a walk with him.

The neon glow of the night under the Tokyo Tower, he hugged Xia Tingwan, the boy squinted a pair of glamorous peach blossom eyes and suddenly came over and kissed him.

His heart was beating violently, but Xia Tingwan suddenly changed his mind and pushed him.

He pushed, but he didn't push it completely. He pushed him halfway and reluctantly circled his neck back, but this time he didn't kiss him at all, and only took a bite on his chin.

There was blood on Su Yan's chin, and he couldn't even shave his beard for two days. He couldn't even stick an OK bandage, and his unshaven beard was funny like a cartoon character.

He was bewildered by the toss and restrained somewhat after returning from Japan, thinking that Xia Tingwan also needed a little space.

But the two of them haven't faded for a week. Xia Tingwan first posted a circle of friends, and wrote pitifully that her feet were blisters when she walked in the deep mountains, and she couldn't eat anything, and sent him a message privately, Say you want to eat crabs.

He was on a business trip in the Middle East at the time, there was something wrong with the converter that the assistant brought, and the personal phone couldn't be charged, so it took a day to reply to the news.

But Xia Tingwan had never received such a cold reception with him, and he was ignored because of his inferiority.

He didn't reply anything, and he didn't answer his phone calls. In desperation, he called Zhao Nanshu to ask about the filming location and the ending time.

After finishing the work, he flew back from the Middle East in a hurry. First, he found a way to pack fresh hairy crabs from the farm and airlift them to T County next to Mount Fabai where Xia Tingwan was filming. Arrive in T County.

After arriving in T County, he estimated the time when Xia Ting would come out of the mountain late, and steamed the shipped hairy crabs at the hotel in advance. He brought eight pieces of crabs, and packed the crab vinegar and shredded ginger in a small box, which was warmed again. A bottle of rice wine, and then hired a car to wait at the intersection of the mountain.

When Xia Ting came out of the intersection late, he really looked like he had been brought in deep in the mountains. He was disheveled and a little thinner.

When he saw Su Yan, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he immediately turned his face and looked like he was going to leave.

Su Yan chased after him, and coaxed Xia Ting back into the night with one sentence: "I brought the hairy crabs and wine. You can go back with me now. When you arrive at the hotel, the crabs have just been steamed and are still steaming."

...

After Xia Ting took a shower late, she sat happily at the table without even drying her hair.

He was very anxious, and was scalded by the hot hairy crab and kept changing his hands, but he was reluctant to wait for a while, and he just wanted to bite the crab with his teeth.

"Do you want any more teeth?"

Su Yan hurriedly grabbed the crabs, crushed the crab claws of each hairy crab with crab claws, and carefully unloaded the meat before feeding it to Xia Tingwan.

Xia Tingwan was not polite to him, holding the rice wine jar and sipping it one by one, waiting lazily for him to feed him, until his face turned red, and then he slid into the bed contentedly.

T County is too small, the best hotel is just a three-star hotel, named Fulin, the decoration also has a sense of earthy richness, the big red carpet and golden elevators, and the highest-grade suites also have a kind of long-lasting feeling. The smell of smoke, dim lights and old-fashioned TVs complement each other to show a kind of

Era

It really is not a hotel that can make people feel comfortable.

But Su Yan always recalled that night, and the dim lights were warm and bright orange in his memories.

Xia Tingwan was wearing a nightgown and complained to him in the bed.

"I really got several blisters on my feet, and it hurts to walk... sigh, I'm sore now. I don't want to go to the mountains to film anymore, it's too painful."

The boy complained with a childish squeamishness.

But Su Yan was used to talking about hard work. In fact, even if it was a little kneeling scene, he could not wait to find an actor to replace him. He just felt that Xia Tingwan was screaming bitterness, and in the end, he still went to the mountains and played tricks. When it's over, it's pretty cute no matter what.

He walked over and touched the boy's head: "Can I rub it for you?"

Xia Tingwan whispered and refused, but the refusal was not very thorough: "No, it's not good?"

Su Yan smiled and didn't ask any more questions, but sat beside the bed, grabbed Xia Tingwan's feet from the bed and pulled them out, revealing a slender and fair calf.

The boy's feet were small in his palm, the instep was slightly swollen, and there were traces of blisters on the soles of the feet, the round toes were slightly raised, and the ankles were very thin, like a weak flower branch.

Su Yan held the sole of his foot, rubbed it lightly and hard for a while, and then couldn't help lowering his head and kissing it.

He explained in a low voice: "I was in the Middle East before, and there was a problem with the charging converter. The phone was out of power for a day. I didn't mean to ignore you. Don't be angry."

Xia Tingwan's face turned red all of a sudden, and she didn't know if it was because of drinking, or simply shy, and turned her head away from Su Yan: "Well."

After a while, Xia Tingwan suddenly said: "The director gave me a play a few days ago, and there was one scene that I always didn't do well. He said that I had to perform as much as I wanted, but I was too dumb. Can't get through..."

"What do you want?" Su Yan raised his head and asked.

Xia Ting didn't answer late, but there was a wet look in the peach blossom eyes looking at him.

"Sex?" Su Yan suddenly understood, and his heart suddenly trembled.

This shaking made the wolfishness in his heart burst out all of a sudden.

After thinking for a while, he lowered his voice and said slowly: "There is a way to act well, you should be acting as appetite. Sexual desire and appetite are inherently connected—"

"You think about your favorite food, you think about it for a long time, but you can't eat it. Finally, one day someone brings that kind of food to you, the eagerness in your eyes, you want to open your mouth and swallow it in one bite. The contradiction and greed that you can't help but want to chew slowly when you enter your stomach is sex."

He spoke more slowly, his voice slightly hoarse.

But the strength of his subordinates also increased quietly. The five fingers passed through the boy's toes vaguely, entangled and caressed, and finally, he pressed the soles of Xia Tingwan's feet heavily.

The boy's body jumped up, breathing quickly, his cheeks flushed against the head of the bed.

"Have you learned?" Su Yan asked with narrowed eyes.

Su Yan lifted the quilt on Xia Tingwan's body and pressed it on, and Xia Tingwan buried his head in his shoulder like an ostrich.

In that posture, it seems that they are very close, but in fact, they quietly avoid kissing and hot stares.

In the dim and old bedroom, the atmosphere between the two of them was sticky, almost damp...

Su Yan stroked the back of the boy's head, feeling Xia Tingwan's heartbeat on his chest, and endured: "I'll teach you how to act, okay?"

Xia Tingwan poked his head out of his arms and looked at Su Yan. He wanted to break free of his ankle from Su Yan's palm, but inadvertently kicked his toes on the already majestic part of Su Yan's crotch.

Su Yan took a breath and backed away, for a while he couldn't tell whether the little thing in his arms was seducing him or torturing him.

Xia Tingwan's face was blushing as if the sunset was on his face. He touched it, and it seemed that for the first time he realized that the lust between men was so majestic and aggressive. From each other, the first reaction turned out to be to pick up the scattered quilt and cover it between his legs.

Su Yan didn't even have to look at it, he knew that Xia Tingwan had also quietly put up a small tent.

Xia Tingwan's chest was heaving, but his eyes became more and more flustered. He looked left and right, but refused to look at Su Yan.

The person also retreated farther and farther, and gradually the whole person got into the quilt, only showing Su Yan a section of the white back of the neck.

"Su Yan," a small voice came from the blanket, "I'm afraid..."

Su Yan was helpless, but his teeth were itching with hatred.

He leaned down, he just wanted to kiss Xia Tingwan, but he couldn't help biting the tender back of the young man's neck like a cat holding a cub.

"pain……"

Xia Ting gave a trembling cry in the evening, and the others were stuffed in the quilt, making their voices soft. After a long time, he finally stuck his head out of the quilt.

"It's my first time."

The boy's eyes were timidly wet, although he was afraid, but there was a vague stubbornness in his eyes, stubbornly looking at Su Yan: "I am curious and eager, I want to know what it is like to have sex, I can bear it. I can't stop trying to seduce you, but I'm still afraid, afraid of undressing, afraid of pain... Su Yan, will you force me?"

Su Yan closed his eyes and sighed.

"I do not know."

He had to say this, even though the crotch was already vigorous, the pain made him frown.

What a natural little bastard, who recklessly acts on beauty.

Seriously seduce him, then seriously reject him, then look at him with wet eyes like peach blossoms, and tell him bluntly "I'm the first time" boy, telling him that he can't even struggle and can only bow his head.

"Then can you tell me... what was it like the first time?"

Xia Tingwan tilted her head slightly.

"can."

Su Yan smiled bitterly, he helped Xia Tingwan to pull the quilt more neatly, and then held up the boy's small face.

He took a deep breath, using almost all his romance and imagination, and said slowly, "First time—like swimming in a summer stream."

"You see the sparkling water and you think the lust is so deep that it will drown you, so you're scared. But in fact, if you close your eyes and take off your clothes and go into the water, you will suddenly find ——In fact, you are a fish. So what is there to be afraid of? You are light and free, you can float on the water, or you can dive in and swim, and the waves will take you to where you want to go. In the water...you can go anywhere, in the sky, on the ground, and in your sweetest dreams."

Xia Ting was stunned when he heard it, his eyes were originally looking at Su Yan, but when he heard the back, it became more and more foggy, and his eyelashes trembled gently like butterfly wings.

Su Yan gently kissed his earlobe and whispered, "Baby, sleep for a while, I'm tired from filming."

Xia Tingwan grabbed Su Yan's hand reluctantly: "Where are you going?"

"Go to the outhouse and do some paperwork."

Su Yan said in a hoarse voice.

This time he didn't tell the truth, he just didn't have the self-control to sleep in the same bed with Xia Ting late.

...

After coaxing Xia Tingwan, Su Yan walked to the outhouse of the suite, turned on the TV, and picked a random channel. Seeing that "Animal World" happened to be playing, he dubbed it along with the explanation inside, and left it like that.

Then Su Yan sat on the sofa and opened a document on his laptop, looking at it a little carelessly.

I don't know how long it took, when he also felt sleepy, he suddenly heard a few soft footsteps behind him.

Before Su Yan had time to turn around, he found that the lights in the entire room had been turned off, and only the old-fashioned TV was still showing a little light.

In the sudden darkness, a body still smelling of shower gel slipped into his arms.

Su Yan was still stunned, and subconsciously wrapped his arms around the thin waist of the young man.

"I can not sleep."

Xia Tingwan's eyes were so bright that he could vaguely see sparks in his pupils.

He just sat naked on Su Yan's waist.

Su Yan almost couldn't breathe for a while, and couldn't make any response.

Xia Ting was panting late, his eyes glowing with water, his eyes wandering, shy but with bold desire.

He held Su Yan's hand tightly, pressed it against the heat that was raised between his legs, and murmured, "Su Yan, I want you to take me swimming, take me to my dreams, take me to—"

In the darkness, Su Yan's hands trembled involuntarily.

He had never seen such a sincere, unabashed vitality in anyone else.

"Don't light the lamp, don't take off my clothes... Su Yan, help me."

Xia Tingwan couldn't wait to swing her waist and gently rubbed Su Yan's palm with the part under her crotch.

Su Yan finally grasped the thing that he had endured for a long time with one hand, and moved slowly and powerfully.

Xia Tingwan raised his head and half closed his eyes, covered Su Yan's eyes with his hands, and then moaned warmly on Su Yan's body.

desire.

Colorful, wild desire.

Like a raging flame, it instantly ignited between him and Xia Tingwan.

That is the truest connection that exists only between two bodies.

In the unlit room, only the old TV was still playing "Animal World", and the announcer inside explained the habits of the blue peacock.

"The estrus period of an adult blue peacock is from June to August. Through the contraction of the skin muscles, the male peacock raises and spreads the gorgeous and dazzling tail feathers like a fan, constantly shaking and making noises, commonly known as "opening the screen"——"

Su Yan firmly grasped the top of the young man on the verge of eruption with his fingers, put Xia Tingwan's body trembling with pleasure in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice in his ear: "My little male peacock, you are also in heat. It's over, right?"

Xia Tingwan was so ashamed that she burst into tears, and buried her face in Su Yan's shoulder as if begging for mercy.

Su Yan smiled in a low voice, holding the boy's round buttocks with one hand and holding it up high, the other hand finally released the valve: "Come on, open the screen and let me see."

The boy shook his head vigorously, sobbing and shot out in Su Yan's hands.

——

They didn't do anything else.

After that night, this entanglement happened many times.

The estrus period of the little male peacock is not as short as explained on TV. Xia Tingwan enjoys it as soon as he wakes up, as if something quietly recovers after the spring rain and grows vigorously, out of control.

Xia Tingwan began to haunt Su Yan happily, and occasionally sent messages like "I miss you" on WeChat when she went out to film. Just three words made Su Yan's heart flutter like he was less than two years old. Ten young people are experiencing their first love.

He frequently flew across national borders, sometimes just to see Xia Ting at night.

As they got closer and closer, Xia Tingwan's temper also became elusive. Sometimes when she saw Su Yan and other celebrities talking too much in social situations, she would suddenly become jealous.

At night, he threw himself on Su Yan, biting Su Yan's chin, Adam's apple, shoulders, and collarbone like a bloodthirsty little beast, leaving Su Yan's teeth marks all over his body until he had to beg him for mercy. until.

Sometimes after finishing the work, his eyes would suddenly become melancholy, and he would hide in the bed and refuse to speak. Su Yan coaxed him for half a night to no avail.

The inside of Xia Tingwan is willful and prickly.

Su Yan actually understood this early in the morning, but he wanted Xia Ting late too much, even with the stinging pain of being cut by a sharp weapon, his yearning made him have to forbear and move forward, with internal injuries every step of the way.

Their relationship, in the eyes of outsiders, of course, Su Yan should have the absolute upper hand.

That year, he was at the peak of his life, just entering the 30th mark. He was energetic, but deep and sophisticated, and he was in charge of the huge Hengtai Group with ease.

The combination of him and Xia Tingwan should have been the most economical exchange, like a money-sex transaction.

But he couldn't do it in front of Xia Tingwan.

He was nothing more than an ordinary admirer.

When he was the most crazy in love, he wrote to Xia Tingwan:

"You are the radiant light, you are the beauty god in the world."

Later, I felt that the poem was too nauseous, so I quietly deleted it and did not send it out.

But fortunately, it was not sent out. It would be too embarrassing if it was accidentally discovered by the media.

Xia Tingwan always refused to take off her clothes in front of Su Yan, they couldn't make it to the end.

Every time, Su Yan released Xia Tingwan with his hands and mouth, but that was all.

Of course, he has rich experience and enough skills to make Xia Tingwan linger in his arms, wishing to be tired of being with him whenever he has time, but he actually complains a lot.

Such one-way sex is undoubtedly a form of torture for an adult man, and he endured it for half a year.

Su Yan understood Xia Tingwan's fragility, Xia Tingwan didn't say it, and he didn't mention it either.

As if he never mentioned his past.

Sometimes he didn't know if he was really that good at being patient.

But in fact, if he was really that powerful, maybe he wouldn't have suddenly shot that year and forced Xia Tingwan to marry him.

Many opportunities in a person's life are like passing by, and he really wants his little peacock to live in his arms forever and never fly away.

He endured it thousands of times, but he still couldn't hold back once.

If couldn't hold it back once, the previous thousands of times were like falsehoods.

In the end, the boy married him and put on the ring he prepared carefully.

But it was red-eyed and reluctantly entered into his life.

He is probably guilty. Later he thought about it from time to time.

Su Yan still thinks of the first night at the Felicity Hotel from time to time.

The boy fell loose in his arms like a cat, his face flushed red.

They tangled their toes together intimately, lying in bed hugging each other and chatting.

"Su Yan, how big is my place?"

Xia Tingwan wrapped his neck around his neck and asked in a low voice beside his ear.

"..."

Before he could answer, he couldn't help but laugh for a long time: "It doesn't seem to be that big."

Xia Tingwan was so angry that she turned her back and ignored him. He hugged the young man from behind, rubbed the young man's face with the beard that was born after the night of his chin, and whispered, "But it's not small, and …”

He paused deliberately, and successfully hooked Xia Tingwan to ask, "And what?"

"And it's beautiful." He whispered in Xia Tingwan's ear.

Xia Tingwan quietly turned his face back. He was a little shy, but he couldn't stand the praise. There was a glimmer of pride in his eyes. As if he had received some encouragement, he suddenly leaned over to Su Yan and said curiously: "Su Yan, can I see where you are?"

He opened his eyes wide, and when he raised his face, the tip of his nose turned up like a deer, and he asked with an innocent face.

The smile on Su Yan's face almost collapsed.

"You can spare me," he said in a hoarse voice, gently cupping the face of the young man in front of him: "My little prince, toss me again, I really can't stand it anymore."

It was the first time Xia Tingwan heard him call him that.

At first, he blinked in surprise, but then his first reaction was to look timidly, as if he wanted to confirm again: "Su Yan, am I your little prince?"

"Will I always be your little prince? Always?"

The young man couldn't wait for him to answer, so he couldn't help but start to ask repeatedly. There was a mist of early spring in his eyes, moist and hazy. He pursed his lips. melancholy.

"Always will be."

Su Yan replied.

Xia Tingwan listened to this, the mist in his eyes gradually dissipated, and the sun-like light bloomed from the light brown pupils, and he smiled lightly.

It was a smile full of sweet anticipation for tomorrow.

In Xia Tingwan's bones, there is living power.

Wrapped in a seemingly rebellious appearance, this young man is in love.

He loves food, loves sex, and loves every good yearning that the world has given him.

That night, Zeng had no doubt that he would defend Xia Tingwan for the rest of his life.

He wants Xia Tingwan to bloom like this unscrupulously forever, not to be bound by the rules of this world, and to be treated kindly like a little prince forever.

He once thought that the love he could give was limitless.

Regardless of day or night, spring and autumn come and go, until death.

After all, it was just a fantasy that he painted for himself five years ago.

Memories come to an abrupt end.

Su Yan opened his eyes and was still lying on the bed.

The gray room, with four empty walls, was the only one on the double bed.

That dim, warm light, that soft touch, that sweet smile—

Like the tide when it came, it quietly faded away and left Su Yan mercilessly.

Su Yan stretched out his hand in vain, there was nothing in the air.

"No..." He heard a broken moan coming from his chest.

The cloudy and rainy sky, like vines, crawled into the lonely room and wrapped around his hands and feet.
