Hate The Bright Moon Chapter 26

Chapter 29

Chi Huang handed the quilt and sleeping bag to Chen Shilu and asked him to wait outside. He opened the curtain of the big tent in the middle and stepped in lightly.

From the gap in the curtain, Chen Shilu saw Chi Huang stepping over several sleeping bags on the ground, finding a pair of trousers, carefully taking out a bunch of keys from his trouser pocket, and taking off one of them.

After succeeding, Chi Huang returned the same way, closed the door curtain again, and waved the car key in front of Chen Shilu: “Let’s go.”

Chen Shilu followed him to the temporary parking lot next to the camp and got into the off-road vehicle with a tow bucket.Seeing him skillfully start the car, spin and throw them out of the parking lot.

There are no decent roads here at all. People come and go just to carve out a lane. Regardless of the ups and downs, Chi Huang drives more wildly than he rides a bicycle, and he narrowly missed Chen Shilu.

When his butt bumped off the seat, Chen Shilu grabbed the armrest urgently and said angrily, “Do you know how to drive? Can you be more steady?”

“You can’t blame me. The road conditions are just like this, and it’s the same when you come.”

“Then let me do it.”

Chi Huang glanced at him with a smile: “There is no navigation, do you know where to drive?”

Yes, in this desolate place, there is no mobile phone signal even after leaving the camp. It is like breaking into no man’s land, and the only way to communicate is by satellite phone.Thinking back to the night when Chi Huang took him up the mountain, Chen Shilu felt inexplicably angry when he heard his laughter.

He swallowed: “Where are you taking me again?”

“Didn’t I tell you to find a place for you to sleep?”

Chen Shilu quickly put on his seat belt. He didn’t think there would be a hotel in this desert at all.

He looked out the window at the camp getting further and further away from them: “Don’t drive too far.”

“Don’t worry, I’m very familiar with this area and won’t lose you.”

He was indeed afraid of being lost. If he was left in a place like this, he would easily die.And if he died here, no one would find out.

The lights in the camp shrunk into a will-o’-the-wisp and were about to disappear from sight. Chi Huang jumped onto a sand dune and extinguished the fire.

He picked up a roll of tarpaulin from the back seat and laid it in the trailer. He also threw the sleeping bag and quilt in and called Chen Shilu: “Try again to see if you can sleep here.”

Chen Shilu also climbed into the carriage and felt it.

He had no idea that the desert would be so silent on a summer night.Far away from the camp, not only was there no sound of human activity, there was not even the chirping of night insects.

This made his nerves, which had been agitated by the noise, much more relaxed. He got into the sleeping bag again, but he was still worried: “Is it really okay to spend the night here?”

“What’s the problem? No one will disturb you, so sleep peacefully.”

“Are there snakes and scorpions? If you are bitten and poisoned, you won’t be able to get to the hospital.”

“Why are you worried so much? No wonder you have insomnia.” Chi Huang reassured him, “It won’t happen. I’ve slept in the open many times. Sometimes I sleep directly on the sand. Nothing happens.”

From what he said, nothing should happen.Chen Shilu was really sleepy and yawned as soon as he relaxed.

Chi Huang returned to the car and turned off the headlights, brought two pillows over, stuffed one under Chen Shilu’s neck, and lay down himself.

Chen Shilu kept yawning and reminded: “Remember to set the alarm clock. You have a game tomorrow, so don’t oversleep.”

“I know, go to sleep.”

Seeing that he just promised but didn’t take any action, Chen Shilu couldn’t believe him, so he took out his cell phone and set an alarm for seven o’clock.

After everything was ready, he closed his eyes in peace.

He had never spent a night in the desert, and this was an absolute silence and darkness he had never experienced before.

Although it was dark, when he opened his eyes while lying on his side, he could see the faint lights of the camp in the distance.The originally disturbing light now became a bit of comfort, giving him a sense of security that he was not far away from the crowd.

As your ears gradually adapt, you will find that this quietness is not absolute.He could hear the sound of the breeze and the gravel being blown by the breeze.This slight rustling sound was like spring rain, like the silkworms raised in grandma’s house… In these comfortable images, he was about to fall asleep.

“Chen Shilu, are you already asleep?”

“…You fell asleep without calling me.”

“I’m so sorry.” He said this with a smile hidden in his tone. The apology was not sincere, “But I still want you to take a look.”

Chen Shilu opened his eyes. He didn’t know what Chi Huang asked him to see, but he saw him lying on his back with his arms raised.

He followed his raised arm and saw his open palm. Just when he was about to ask what he was looking at, Chen Shilu was immediately stunned.

He had never seen such a clear starry sky.Not only are the densely packed stars twinkling, but even the halo of the Milky Way, which can only be seen through exposure in photos, is now visible to the naked eye.

It was so majestic and beautiful that he couldn’t help but hold his breath.

Chi Huang retracted his arms and put them behind his head: “It’s so beautiful.”

“Well, it’s beautiful.”

He turned his head and looked at Chen Shilu: “As long as you see it, you can sleep peacefully. The stars will protect you until dawn.”

“How old do you think I am?”

Chi Huang just laughed.

“You like the starry sky very much?” He remembered that the last time Chi Huang took him up the mountain was to look at the stars.

“Haven’t you heard? When a person dies, he will rise to the sky and become a star.” He turned his head and continued to look at the starry sky. “I think my parents also became stars… Which two do you think they will be?”

Chen Shilu couldn’t answer, and Chi Huang continued to talk to himself: “No matter which two of them are touched, unless I also rise to the sky and become a star like them.”

Chen Shilu was silent for a long time before speaking: “Not necessarily, there are also shooting stars. Maybe a certain star will fall into your hands and become yours.”

“Really?”

Of course it’s fake.

People like Chi Huang, as well as people like himself, are extremely selfish people. It is difficult for them to give a complete and sound love to others. Naturally, they cannot expect anyone to give them the same selfless love in return.

But now he was comforting Chi Huang, and was repaying him for finding him such a comfortable place to sleep, and by the way, he also saw such a beautiful starry sky.

Chen Shilu replied: “Really, everyone has the opportunity to own a star. This is the fairest gift from fate.”

Chi Huang didn’t speak for a long time, then he stood up and leaned over Chen Shilu, staring deeply at him.

The line of sight gradually shortened until the tips of the noses touched. Chi Huang gently took the tip of his lips in his mouth, and the stickiness and softness flowed outside his teeth.

They shared a very light kiss, and it was also a very plain kiss, as if it contained no trace of lust.

After Chi Huang kissed his mouth, he gently kissed the tip of his nose, eyes, forehead and cheeks in the same way… holding his face with one hand and stroking his hair.

The lips and fingers come and go again and again, and both the touch of the lips and the touch of the fingers are extremely comfortable.Once he relaxed too much, Chen Shilu felt that his brain was heavy and confused, and his consciousness began to blur.

In the end, he couldn’t hold back the overwhelming sleepiness, and fell asleep under Chi Huang’s lullaby-like kiss.

An extremely deep and dreamless sleep. In the morning, I was not woken up by the alarm clock, but by the rising sun shining on my face.

Chen Shilu squinted his eyes to avoid the sun, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Chi Huang facing him.

Half of the man’s body was exposed outside the sleeping bag, with his face resting on his arms, like the standard and well-behaved sleeping posture in TV commercials. His mouth was squeezed into a pout, the bridge of his nose was too straight, and his eyelashes were thick and long.Such a sleeping beauty made Chen Shilu wake up a little.

After staring blankly for a while, Chen Shilu woke him up: “It’s dawn, get up and go back.”

Chi Huang vaguely touched his satellite phone and looked at the time: “It’s still early, let’s sleep a little longer.” He hugged Chen Shilu into his arms, pressed him, and fell asleep again.

Chen Shilu was also sleepy, and it felt good to be hugged like this.In fact, he could have slept a little longer, if he hadn’t just caught a glimpse of a series of missed calls on Chi Huang’s phone.

“Your coach is looking for you, why don’t you call him back?”

Chi Huang muttered: “It’s just asking where I am and where the car is, it’s not that important.”

“It doesn’t matter to you. Your coach is going crazy with anxiety. Don’t make people anxious. At least call him back first.”

He had no choice but to sit up and call Jiang Chao back.

As soon as the call was connected, he immediately raised the phone as far away as possible.Despite this, Jiang Chao’s high-pitched voice still came from the phone intermittently.

It was exactly as Chi Huang guessed. He asked him where he was and where he had driven the car, and finally said: “Come back quickly!”

On the way back, Chen Shilu was a little worried: “Will your coach beat you up soon?”

Chi Huang was very confident: “No, he didn’t even say ‘get out’ when he asked me to go back, which means he was in a good mood.”

Chen Shilu had doubts about this.

Chi Huang did not get beaten, Jiang Chao just waited for them at the entrance of the camp with a dark face.

Whenever he sees someone, he will nag: “Where did you go so early in the morning? We have a competition today, did you forget?”

Chi Huang opened his mouth and said: “I went to sleep outside just to be in good competition condition. The campground was too noisy last night and I couldn’t sleep.”

“You’ve been living in the camp for so many days, and you couldn’t sleep last night?” Jiang Chao said with a clear expression, “Xiao Chen came all the way to watch your game, so don’t be a monster.”

“Really not, Lao Jiang.”

Jiang Chao didn’t listen to his sophistry, and only told Chen Shilu: “This kid’s brain sometimes gets cramped, and if he is not protected, he will do some bad things. Don’t force yourself to cooperate with him. For example, if he takes you to the desert to spend the night, he has never thought about encountering dangers such as sandstorms.”

“Hey, if you’re done with it, stop talking.”

“If I didn’t tell you, Xiao Chen wouldn’t know what your virtues are.”

“Xiao Chen knows my character better than you, right Xiao Chen?” Chi Huang raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Chen Shilu with a teasing look.

Chen Shilu was not bored enough to flirt with the coach in front of him, so he said with a cold face, “Shut up.”

Chi Huang shut up, but suddenly started laughing.

Chen Shilu had a stern face, obviously knowing what he was laughing at, but he was just too lazy to respond.

Only Jiang Chao was confused and didn’t know what was going on. He looked at Chi Huang and then at Chen Shilu. He felt more and more strange that these two people were strange, and he had the illusion that he was being excluded.
