Chew Slowly Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Chapter 53

===========================

Xu Qiaochuan still felt tired after sleeping all afternoon. His sleep was very light, but his eyelids were too heavy to open.A thin layer of sweat broke out on his back. He still felt very cold and refused to let go of the quilt.

Autumn and winter in Pingzhou Port are strange. Heat is common, with occasional short bursts of cold, mostly accompanied by dull moisture.

I don’t know if it was because of the weather, but he also felt stuffy in his chest and a little out of breath.But it could also be that he dreamed of Lu Xiaoyun.

The body’s memory is faster than the mental response, such as pain, or many messy, indescribable smells.

To prevent clothes from wrinkling, fabrics are treated with formaldehyde before cutting.There is more or less residual formaldehyde in ready-made clothes. Female workers in garment factories will carry this smell with them after get off work, which is the same smell as new clothes sold on behalf of others.

This kind of smell is often associated with cheap and inferior quality, and is also harmful to the human body. Lu Xiaoyun doesn’t like it, but she can’t get rid of it. She can only cover it up with shower gel with a strong fragrance.

When Xu Qiaochuan was a child, he would help her get hot water before she got off work and wait for her to wash up when she came back.Rose, gardenia, or other floral scents blended with essences are mixed with hot and humid water vapor to form another cheap scent.Xu Qiaochuan used to look forward to this taste. Lu Xiaoyun would hug him and then make dinner.

Now he didn’t dare to smell this smell. Once he smelled it, all he could think about was the small dormitory in the cloak factory.

Lu Xiaoyun told him: “I gave you your life. Without me, you would die.”

Lu Xiaoyun will also cry: “Have you grown up? When will you grow up?”

Her gaze was deep, and she didn’t know who she was looking at through him.Xu Qiaochuan knew that she was not looking at him, so he asked confusedly: “Who are you looking at?”

Then Lu Xiaoyun went crazy.Compared to Xu Jian, the woman he called “Mom” was obviously more terrifying.He was bored with Xu Jian and fearful of Lu Xiaoyun.This woman truly told him who gave Xu Qiaochuan his life.

If Xu Jian broke his bones, then Lu Xiaoyun took off a layer of his flesh.

When she was a child, Lu Xiaoyun was often angry.They said he was bewitched again, that he was possessed by a ghost, that he was unclean.The memory of the exorcism was very scary, and Xu Qiaochuan couldn’t remember it clearly.

He couldn’t see the boiling hot water splashed on his back. He could only remember the white mist rolling in, weighing him down and unable to move.

The smell of formaldehyde and the floral fragrance of shower gel are nothing compared to the twisted skin and flesh after being sprayed with boiling water.

Xu Qiaochuan woke up after dreaming here. The pain was very concrete and he couldn’t breathe now.Until the marshal moved his body and crawled from his chest to his face.

His body was covered in sweat. He touched his arms and felt cold all over. The dream made him uneasy.Xu Qiaochuan rubbed the marshal, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

I forgot what time Chen Zongqian said he would go home, I figured it wouldn’t be too early.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t turn on the light and sat on the ground until the daylight disappeared.The marshal felt that people were more boring than cats, so he turned around Xu Qiaochuan twice without giving any response, and ran away without knowing where the people were.

Staying alone in an empty home without turning on the lights, the scene reflected in the window looks like a scene from a horror movie.Sometimes Xu Qiaochuan believes in ghosts and gods, and sometimes he doesn’t believe so much.One should have piety and awe when facing ghosts, gods and ancestors. He has no sincerity and is not too afraid of ghosts.

During this period, I always dreamed about Lu Xiaoyun, and they were all old things with no new ideas. If Lu Xiaoyun was asking for a dream, she would never say a word.Xu Qiaochuan is not afraid of ghosts coming to see him. The woman is dead. If there is anything in the world that he cannot let go of, it is only him.

Although he is not afraid of ghosts, Xu Qiaochuan doesn’t want her to see him now.She had never been satisfied with Xu Qiaochuan when she was alive. Seeing him now being raised at home like a cat or a dog and forgetting her own name would only make her even more unhappy.

She has a good face and doesn’t like to owe others. She also taught Xu Qiaochuan that he shouldn’t take other people’s things with peace of mind and that he should remember everything he owes and need to pay back.

Xu Qiaochuan remembered her upbringing, and he really couldn’t accept Chen Zongqian’s kindness with peace of mind.He has always wanted to leave, even though many of his things are now entangled with Chen Zongqian and cannot be easily separated.

That person said the word “love” and regarded him as a family member, but this concept was illusory and gave people no sense of security.

If he had to leave, how would he sort out those entangled things?That cat, or something more, he sat in front of the window and thought about it for a long time.

He has not touched Lu Xiaoyun’s inheritance, but he has also saved a small amount over the years, earning from odd jobs every holiday, compensation for campus disputes, wages at Xin’an Hardware… If he was just one person, he didn’t care how much money he had.

But after crossing out the portion given to Chen Zongqian, he suddenly found that he had very little left.

It was completely dark. Xu Qiaochuan leaned against the window and looked at the little lights, feeling lonely for the first time in a long time.He had been with Chen Zongqian for too long, and he felt this way just for the moment of separation.The shadow on the window twisted into a strange shape, not quite like me, but like a cat that can’t live without people, or a parrot that dies when it’s alone.

He closed his eyes and slept for a while. When he woke up, the room was full of light. Chen Zongqian came in and turned on the light in the living room.

“Xiaoqiao?” There was no one on the sofa. Chen Zongqian glanced at it and hesitated when he saw the person by the floor-to-ceiling window. “Why is it on the ground?”

Xu Qiaochuan did not move, and stared at Chen Zongqian walking towards him, about half a step away.Chen Zongqian stretched out his hand. He used his strength to stand up and pulled the person in his direction.

He hugged the person and took a step back, his back pressed against the cold glass.One of Chen Zongqian’s hands was grabbed, and the other hand could reach toward the window, but he quickly retracted it like an electric shock, and finally clasped it on Xu Qiaochuan’s waist.

“Are you afraid that I will fall?” Through the hard suit fabric, he felt Chen Zongqian’s tight body.

Being too close, there was nowhere to hide his fear. Chen Zongqian withdrew his gaze and only looked at Xu Qiaochuan.His voice was a little muffled, with a slight upward pitch at the end. It was hard to tell whether he was sad or suddenly playful again.

The hand pinching his waist suddenly became stronger, and Xu Qiaochuan felt itchy first, then pain.He relaxed and fell against the window, allowing Chen Zongqian to hug him tightly and follow him forward.

Reason told Chen Zongqian that the tempered glass used for the floor-to-ceiling windows has been specially treated and is very strong and safe. They will not fall down.But he knew what was separated by that transparent layer. They were on the edge of a tall building, and they would be shattered into pieces if they fell.All his instincts screamed at him to back away from the dangerous window.

“Go back…” Chen Zongqian squeezed out a sentence from his throat. His consciousness was all outside, and he didn’t notice that Xu Qiaochuan let go of his hand and hooked it on his neck.

“Do you want me here?” Xu Qiaochuan took a deep breath and raised his face.

He frowned and looked at himself, pursed his lips and said nothing. His expression was very nervous, and his expression was completely resistant.Xu Qiaochuan didn’t like the emotion in those eyes, nor any emotion of resistance and rejection.Xu Qiaochuan looked past his eyes, looked at his lips, and watched as he subconsciously swallowed due to nervousness.

“I don’t want to.”

Xu Qiaochuan reached out and pressed his Adam’s apple, which made Chen Zongqian’s discomfort even worse. The bone was almost crushed to pieces.Chen Zongqian tried his best to step back and finally escaped from the hand.The dull pain in his neck didn’t go away, and another sharp touch occupied his mind.Xu Qiaochuan bit his throat, quickly retracted his teeth, and licked the ravaged cartilage through the flesh.

This was a sign that he was going to continue his nonsense, but the situation was not right. Chen Zongqian desperately wanted to stop him, pressing the back of the person’s head and forcing him to raise his head.

Xu Qiaochuan looked at each other calmly, without any timidity. In addition to Chen Zongqian, there was also sparkling and flowing lust illuminated by the lamp in his eyes.

He has no consciousness of being a pet. He feels that he is different from the pet. How dare the pet ask for everything?He was the one Chen Zongqian tried his best to keep, and he was the one Chen Zongqian was unwilling to let go no matter how dangerous it was.
