He Holds a Rose from the Abyss

After returning to the bedroom, it was Chi Lang's favorite time of day.

The sunset reflected a dim yellow color in the room, like a yellowed old photo, and everything was covered with a gentle veil.

Chi Lang first took a chessboard to the table, pulled the chair away as if courteous, and said to Sheffield, "Come on, come on, keep playing chess."

Sheffield joined him at the table.

The rules of chess here are slightly different from those of international chess, and Chi Lang, as a half-gomoku lover, is not very familiar with this type of chess, but after playing it with Changbeard once, he thinks it is quite fun.

Although Sheffield's level is much higher than his, Chi Lang still enjoys playing chess with Sheffield.

Chi Lang thought about what to do next, and casually complained: "You occasionally let me chanting, I will get tired of this kind of crushing game every day."

Sheffield nodded: "Okay."

Then Chi Lang won the victory easily, and he said to Sheffield: "Don't let the water go so hard, it's very unfulfilling."

Sheffield picked up a piece of chess, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "You can tell me what you want me to do."

"Your best performance is about the same level as me, or a little lower, so it's much easier to beat you, and it will be very fulfilling."

Chi Lang looked at Sheffield's expression and continued: "It's all like this. You can't be strong from the beginning, but let me gradually become stronger. This is the growth path of a standard master."

Sheffield dropped the chess.

Chi Lang was already defeated, only to hear Sheffield say, "I thought you would say something to let me change the rules or something."

"It's not fun to change the rules, and you won't accept changing the rules."

Sheffield put his fingertips on his king chess. In the rules, if the "king" is captured, he will fail.

— "If the rule is, you can kill my king with my queen, then I, accept this rule."

Chi Lang's hands trembled, he accidentally knocked down a few chess pieces, and he couldn't remember their original positions, so he simply said, "Forget it, this game is almost lost, let's go to the next game."

But he thought about it and felt that something was wrong: "Then the king will let the queen be buried with him? This is just a draw... No, I don't mean it... Anyway, you can't call me that."

Sheffield stretched out his finger to him: "Give me the chess, I'll play it again."

Chi Lang handed over the chess in his hand, and after Sheffield put away the chess, he kissed Chi Lang's fingertips. Chi Lang quickly withdrew his hand. He felt more and more that his perception of Sheffield's behavior became more and more acute. Even such a kiss made him feel that his heart was touched.

They played chess, from sunset to moonlight.

Chi Lang yawned and slowly put away his chess. He chatted with Sheffield one after another.

"You know, one afternoon at the Magic Research Society, they summoned a very...very ugly creature. The two children were crying, and the long beard seemed to be afraid. He coaxed the children while enduring the fear. , too bitter."

Chi Lang has a lot to say to Sheffield every time, as if everything is told to Sheffield, it will have more color.

And Sheffield replied to him: "I was like this when I was a child. The summoned creatures always felt disgusting, and they didn't like to use summon magic for a long time."

"But now that I think about it, I should have practiced the summoning magic better..." Sheffield leaned over. "Maybe, I can summon you to me earlier."

Chi Lang's movements stagnated for a moment, he patted Sheffield on the shoulder, and then shook him twice: "Wake up, you called me back then, maybe I haven't been born yet."

They chatted like this, and they went to bed ( ), Chi Lang yawned in the bed.

Wait until the end of a topic. Sheffield heard the bell ring again, and he smiled and asked, "Do you want to do it?"

Chi Lang was a little sleepy: "But I want to sleep a little..." His eyes were almost closed.

Sheffield kissed his eyes lightly, then began to kiss his lips, which Sheffield would never have done so slowly, but this time it took a long time.

After the kiss, Sheffield then whispered, "Do you want to do it?"

Chi Lang sobered up, and a fire rose in his heart, expelling all the sleepiness: "Is there anything tomorrow... The Magic Research Society doesn't seem to be very important." Sheffield kissed him again.

Chi Lang's eyes lit up and muttered, "Come on then."

…

Spend the night in such a way that they both get up late almost every day.

Every time Chi Lang opened his eyes and looked at the time, he felt a sense of depravity. He reflected: "Sheffield, we really can't do this anymore, school is about to start, life must be regular, go to bed early and get up early."

Sheffield didn't get up either. He has always been an extremely self-disciplined person, and he seems to have become indifferent to the time recently.

"If you want to get up early, with the time you need to play chess, and chat, plus...," Sheffield said with a smile, "you have to start playing at least four o'clock in the afternoon."

Chi Lang thought about it and started playing at four o'clock in the afternoon, which seemed a little degenerate, but he was a little reluctant to let him cut down on any entertainment time, so his face was still a little depressed.

Chi Lang sat up from the bed. He was determined to change his mind and start improving from today. He couldn't waste time. He slowly put on his clothes and saw Sheffield was still lying on the bed.

"Why are you lazier than me? Get up quickly."

Sheffield's hair is a bit messy, but even so he looks calm.

Sheffield stretched out his arm and said with a smile, "Yeah, I don't really want to move...or...would you help me get dressed?"

Of course Chi Lang did not accept this request, he categorically refused, and kept talking about Sheffield after he went out.

"How old are you? You don't even know how to put on your own clothes. If you are so used to you, do you want me to take off your clothes for you in the future?" Chi Lang said in a low voice.

Sheffield straightened the folds on the cuffs for Chi Lang, and said, "Isn't that fair? I took off your clothes for you anyway, and you never took it off yourself."

Chi Lang: "...that's a special case!"

Sheffield nodded slowly, as if accepting Chi Lang's words. He kissed Chi Lang's lips: "But I think you also want to almost take off my clothes."

Fine. Can't tell him. Chi Lang was speechless again. The key point is that every time Sheffield said, he could just hit his heart.

The two of them sneaked into Mrs White's pub.

Sheffield is also very strange: "Why do you shrink your head and enter the pub like this?"

"Don't look at me, you go ahead, I hide behind you." Chi Lang hid behind Sheffield and slipped into the pub, and sat down in the far corner.

Chi Lang was good at comparing Bi Sheffield's head and asked him, "Can you... make your head a little bigger, aren't you capable of transformation magic? You can do it!"

Sheffield:…

"Who are you hiding from?"

Chi Lang was very depressed when he thought of this, and he lowered his head: "It's your fault. I told Mrs. White earlier that I would come to the pub that day to start work for the new semester, but the night before, you ... you seduced you. Fucked me! Then I slept the next day and then I forgot about it."

"Then Joyce told me that Mrs White was so angry that she almost wrote 'Micah and Changelings are not allowed' and I found someone in the freshman to help Mrs White, but I'm not yet Dare to see her."

Sheffield smiled: "Then you can hide well. After a while, there are many people, and she should not be able to find you."

As a senior student, Dinah wanted to help manage a freshman class in the Elements Department. Just before the start of the semester, I invited them to gather together, and by the way, I also invited Chi Lang and the others.

Joyce also mixed in for some reason, and he also sat sneakily across from Sheffield and Chi Lang.

"Hello, I won't disturb you, I'll stay here," Joyce said.

Chi Lang suddenly remembered what Dinah had said to him before, and felt a little unspeakable to Joyce in his heart. It happened that Sheffield was called over by Dinah at this time.

Chi Lang asked, "Did you say that Dinah was your ex-girlfriend?"

Joyce: "Why do you ask this all of a sudden? Am I still talking nonsense?"

Chi Lang: "...No, how do you define girlfriend...I think you may understand differently."

Joyce's eyes widened: "Isn't it okay to have kissed? Although it was kissed after being drunk."

Chi Lang: "...other than that, you have nothing else...?"

Joyce: "I don't think so. Then she ignored me again, so it's time to break up."

Chi Lang handed the food on the table to Joyce: "Eat, eat more and be happy."

"I really don't understand, there is an entrance exam for freshmen tomorrow, and they come to drink tonight." Joyce muttered.

"Then are you all right tomorrow?"

Joyce recalled it hard, and said suddenly, "Oh! I'm going to invigilate tomorrow."

Chi Lang: "...Why don't you both get drunk here together, and then let them all pass."

Joyce pointed to the right: "Look."

Chi Lang looked in the direction he pointed and saw Mrs. White, he was shocked: "I don't think it's safe to stay here, I'll go to Sheffield."

He moved slowly in the direction of Sheffield, and just now he noticed that Sheffield had finished talking to Dinah, and was just standing in the crowd, not returning to his position.

He managed to squeeze around Sheffield and asked him: "Is there anything to drink? Why have I never seen these wines when I was here before."

Sheffield pointed out a few types and said with a smile: "Dinah's collection, these types are not bad, but the degree is relatively high."

Yesterday's freshman, Ella, was standing beside Sheffield and was asking some questions. She noticed Sheffield's expression changed almost immediately. Before Chi Lang came over, although Sheffield also had a smile on his face, the smile was very formatted, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth did not change much.

But after Chi Lang stood up, the expression on his face became much more vivid, those cold and alienated feelings suddenly disappeared, and even the tone of his speech was warm.

She heard Sheffield laugh and say: "Drink slowly, be careful to get drunk again...I don't mind if you are drunk."

Then Sheffield turned around and looked at her: "Do you have any questions?" The attitude was not faulty, and the expression was not impatient, but the tone suddenly became a lot more alienated.

"No more." Ella lowered her head, "Thank you." She took a few steps out.

When she looked back again, Sheffield and Chi Lang seemed to be fighting over a bottle of wine, and there was only a little wine left in the bottle. Sheffield held the bottle high and drank it first.

He leaned down slightly and put the wine into Chi Lang's mouth. The shimmer hit their faces as if they were snuggling up to the light.

Ella was able to be sure that the wine was fed into Chi Lang's mouth like this because there were some drops of wine falling down where their lips and teeth met. They were very close to each other, but their positions were relatively remote, and they did not attract much attention in the crowd.

Ella only looked at it a few times, her face blushed, and she didn't dare to look again. That little bit of thoughtfulness in her heart was gone.

Sheffield is wiping Chi Lang's clothes.

Chi Lang also complained: "You are so naive, you are still fighting with me for drinks. I'm going to get some more."

Sheffield smiled: "I'll get it for you."

Chi Lang: "No, the wine will be in your hands again. What if you don't give me a drink. I'll get it, so I can steal some."

Chi Lang held Sheffield's hand, put his hands on his sides in a proper way, and said, "You stand here well and wait for me to come back."

Sheffield couldn't help but smile, Chi Lang took a few steps forward, turned his head again, and lip-mouthed him - "Stand up".

Chi Lang avoided Mrs. White's gaze and found Dina.

Dinah handed him the wine and said vaguely, "I thought you'd be a little upset right now."

"Why?" He ate well and slept well every day, and his **** life was harmonious. There was really nothing unpleasant about him.

Dinah turned her gaze to the crowd and smiled: "Since I just came here, seven or eight people have come to ask me about the new students in Sheffield... Both men and women."

Chi Lang didn't know why, so he said "Oh".

"But I told them the truth, so it's better for them to put this thought out."

"Oh."

Dinah thought his reaction was strange: "Don't you care about that?"

Chi Lang: "Ah, in fact, there should be quite a few people who have a good impression of him, I always feel that way." Chi Lang looked back and saw Sheffield through the heavy crowd.

Sheffield stood in the crowd, but seemed very lonely.

"Look, I think he's obviously good-looking, has a good personality, and is good at studying, as well as housework... His quilts are neat!"

Chi Lang thought about it for a while, and continued: "I feel like he is not short of money, but sometimes I feel that he is restricted by the past, he seems very lonely, and sometimes he is a little bit unconfident."

Dinah froze for a moment, but said nothing.

"Sometimes he will say something and say he is not a very good person, even though I am so sure of him." Chi Lang said slowly, "In fact, there are so many people who like him, so I can tell him. , even if it's not me, there will be many people who like him and are willing to accept his..."

"He can be more confident." Chi Lang smiled at Dina, then said "goodbye" and walked over to Sheffield.

Sheffield took the bottle, shook it, and raised his eyebrows: "You really drink it secretly."

Chi Lang said proudly: "Yes, yes, this is finally left for you."

"Aren't you drunk?"

Chi Lang: "It's okay, I'm awake now."

Sheffield smiled and raised his tone a little: "Can you kiss me again?"

Chi Lang shook his head: "There are too many people."

Sheffield shook the bottle: "If you kiss, will you drink all this wine?"

Chi Lang blinked, stretched out his hand, and pulled down Sheffield's collar, causing Sheffield's head to droop a little. Chi Lang touched Sheffield's lips and snatched the bottle.

He wanted to sleep again. The freshmen of the element department seemed to be playing some kind of game, and they were a little noisy, but Sheffield sat with him on the chair, and Chi Lang felt that the surroundings were quiet.

"They're playing the game of telling the truth, do you want to play?" Sheffield asked him.

"Truth... no, don't tell."

Sheffield leaned back on the chair, and even smiled: "Tell me."

Chi Lang actually likes Sheffield's lazy look, and he also likes Sheffield's smile.

He finally couldn't help but say, "Actually, I prefer...peck kisses more than kissing for so long."

Sheffield didn't expect this: "Why?"

Chi Lang: "Once, I hiccupped, but it was uncomfortable, and then you kissed me again, but I didn't want to refuse... Later, it was even more uncomfortable. My hiccup seemed to be stuck in the middle, and I couldn't get out. It was very uncomfortable. …”

Sheffield almost laughed, Chi Lang saw such a hearty smile on his face for the first time. After he stopped laughing, he kissed Chi Lang's face: "You should have told me at that time, I will pay attention next time."

Chi Lang: "Then you'll laugh louder than you are now."

In the end, Chi Lang fell asleep in a daze. He felt Sheffield carry him on his back and walked into the bedroom.

The wind was a little cool at night, Chi Lang was slightly awake, and there were only a few sparse stars in the night sky. Chi Lang closed his eyes again and let himself go back to sleep.

Sheffield's footsteps stopped for a while, Chi Lang didn't open his eyes, and asked him, "Why did you stop?"

In front of Sheffield is a sculpture of Hubert. Sheffield suddenly found that when he saw this sculpture again, his mood was very calm. The vines that stretched out from the ground and wrapped around him seemed to have died under the sunlight.

"It's nothing," Sheffield said with a smile, "you're awake, come down and walk back by yourself?"

Chi Lang still closed his eyes: "I'm asleep."

After letting Chi Lang lie down on the bed, Sheffield gently wiped his face.

Chi Lang's eyes opened again.

Sheffield stopped and asked him with a smile, "You haven't fallen asleep yet?"

"No," Chi Lang explained, "I haven't kissed before going to bed today, so I can't sleep yet."

Sheffield kissed him on the forehead like a feather brushed, making his heart soft as a feather.

"good night."
