It wasn’t until midnight that Ling Yechen convinced himself to fall asleep.
Unexpectedly, Hutao was woken up by him at five in the morning.
He actually stood up from the bed, then picked up the cup on the bedside table and smashed it on the ground.
In the quiet night, Hutao was suddenly awakened by this sudden sound, and Hutao's body shook twice.
Reaching out to turn on the bedside lamp, Hu Tao discovered that Ling Yechen, who was sleeping on the bed opposite, was sitting beside the bed in a daze. There was a smashed cup on the ground.
While Hu Tao turned on the light, he picked up his hand and smashed it against the bedside table. Then Hu Tao saw that his hand was bleeding.
Hutao was stunned for two seconds before she reacted and wanted to call him.
"Ling Yechen, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
Hutao didn't know what was wrong with him, or whether he was awake or asleep, but she felt she must call him.
"What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Hutao asked again.
She was scared to death now. Looking at this state, she suddenly recalled the time when Ling Yechen jumped off the cliff before, and her body shook involuntarily.
Ling Yeshen got off the bed and said: "It's okay, I'll go wash up." It was a response to Hu Tao.
Hearing the normal answer, Hutao breathed a sigh of relief.
"Did you have nightmares? Or are you sick?" Hutao asked next.
He didn't reply and went straight into the bathroom and turned on the faucet to take a shower.
He is covered in sweat now.
He took a deep breath, stood under the shower and turned the water on as high as possible, as if he wanted to wash away all his emotions with the water flowing from his head.
Hutao was really frightened. She kept listening to the noise in the bathroom and heard the sound of running water. She felt uneasy even when she was sitting on the bed. She thought it would be inappropriate to go and take a look.
She used to think that Ling Yechen was a strange person. She had also committed suicide by jumping off a cliff before, and she was worried that he would not be able to think about it anymore.
She struggled for a long time whether to get up and take a look, or to wait.
Until she was really confused and was about to get up to take a look. As soon as she touched the crutches, the bathroom door opened.
Hu Tao looked at Ling Yechen and breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, and Ling Yechen also looked at her.
Looking at her movements, I guessed that she was about to get up.
"What are you doing?" Ling Yechen asked.
Hu Tao wanted to say: "I want to see you."
But she turned around and said, "Well, I want to go to the bathroom."
Ling Yechen understood, helped her into the bathroom, and then waited at the door.
After a while, he helped her out of the bathroom and let her lie back on the bed.
The light was not turned off, so Hu Tao saw him sitting by the bed, showing no intention of sleeping.
It's only five o'clock now and it's pitch dark outside.
It won't be bright until at least seven o'clock.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Hutao asked.
Ling Yeshen suddenly stood up, walked to Hutao's bedside, leaned over and looked at her and said, "You had a nightmare last night, and I slept with you. Now I want you to return it."
Hu Tao was confused: "How come?" She really didn't realize what he meant.
Ling Yechen looked at her and said, "You sleep with me."
Hutao said "Ah", but before she could utter her retort, he had already pulled back the quilt and was lying next to her.
Hu Tao was startled again. Ling Yechen's series of weird things tonight really scared her.
"No, no, men and women cannot have sex. Last night doesn't count. I didn't wake up. We can't lie on the same bed. Sharing a room with you is already the limit. How can I see anyone in the future?" Hu Tao said hurriedly. Ling Yechen casually turned off the bedside lamp, and the room fell into darkness. Hu Tao's anxious and red face was also hidden in the dark night.
Ling Yechen then hugged Hu Tao tightly, and Hu Tao was startled again. His whole body stiffened and he did not dare to move anymore.
"Relax, it's not the first time, what are you afraid of?" Ling Yechen said.
Hutao's face turned redder, not only her face, but her whole body felt hot.
"That's different. I didn't know yesterday and wasn't awake. Now I'm awake. You should go back to your bed." Hutao still objected.
Ling Yechen patted her head and said, "Be quiet and let me hold you. I'll tell you a story."
Hu Tao was even more shocked. She didn't know what happened to Ling Yeshen tonight. One moment he got angry and smashed things, and the next he wanted to tell stories.
Ling Yeshen said: "I'm sorry, I scared you."
Hu Tao said: "I was really scared. Is your hand okay? I just saw blood."
After saying that, I struggled to get up from the bed and look at his hands.
"It's okay, the bleeding has stopped. Let me tell you a story."
Then, next, Ling Yeshen really told her a long story.
Only then did Hutao understand why he was acting strangely. It turned out to be that he had been stimulated when he was a child.
When Ling Yeshen was 6 years old, his grandfather died in front of him. At that time, his parents were very busy and were busy doing business outside, so they left him in the care of his grandfather. Unexpectedly, his grandfather had brain congestion and was not rescued. p>
He witnessed the entire process of his grandfather's death.
He was still young at that time and couldn't get through to his parents on the phone.
He called 120, but the person was still not rescued. He stayed alone in the hospital with his deceased grandfather for a day and night before he contacted the adults.
After that, he became ill, couldn't sleep all night, and became irritable. Sometimes he was uncontrollable and wanted to commit suicide, especially during funerals.
Hu Tao finally figured out the reason why he jumped off the cliff. On that day, they watched a funeral.
"So, growing up, have you avoided death and funerals?" Hu Tao asked.
Ling Yechen said: "Well, that time I met you when I went to the countryside, it was because a relative in my family passed away, so my parents sent me away and asked me to go to the countryside."
Hu Tao suddenly felt sorry for him. He hugged her tightly, but she didn't say anything anymore.
Because she knew that he was acting like this tonight because he accompanied her home to attend her grandma’s funeral.
She unconsciously put her hands on his waist and did not let go.
"Are you afraid of me?" Ling Yechen asked uncertainly.
He has always known that he has a weird temper, and now that he has let her know about his occasional emotional outbursts and suicidal behaviors, he is a little unsure whether she will be afraid of him and stay away from him.
Hu Tao patted his back gently, and then said: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked you to accompany me back."
"Don't hurt yourself in the future. If you can't control yourself, just hit me."
Ling Yechen was moved by her words. He didn't expect her to say such words.
He said silently in his heart: "Silly girl, how can I be willing to beat you."
Then he said: "Since I met you, I don't seem to have insomnia anymore, so just sleep well."
Hutao nodded: "Well, then go to sleep. Don't think so much. You have to go back to school tomorrow."
Then he said: "Can you agree to my request?"
Ling Yechen asked: "What?"
Hu Tao then said softly: "You should have seen my family. It's really bad. From now on, I will help you keep your affairs a secret, so you can just pretend that you haven't seen my family's affairs."
Ling Yechen didn't expect that she would say this, so he replied: "Okay, this is a secret between us."
