Overwhelmed

Chapter 32

"These hounds have rich experience, a keen sense of smell, and strong bodies. The prey they stare at rarely escape." Standing at the entrance of the alley again, Big Brother Bai said to me with some admiration.

I looked back at the hounds that kept growling and were ready to run off at any time, and felt my scalp go numb.At this moment, I realized how cute my Xiaoya is!

Isn’t it just to run away, I just try to run, can I not have these cruel helpers, Big Brother Bai QAQ...

Brother Bai patted my shoulder, showed me a very healing smile, and said gently, "Don't be afraid, I will always be by your side."

... It's too foul to smile so beautifully!

I turned my head silently, couldn't help touching my sore nose, trying to calm my heartbeat that suddenly accelerated.

The voice of the director asking the various departments to prepare soon rang out again, and I also concentrated my energy. Before the director spoke, I glanced at Big Brother Bai next to me, and immediately found that the temperament around him had become unhealthy at some point. No matter how stable he was, the corners of his lips revealed the flamboyant smile that belonged to Zhou Xiao that he had seen before.

It was exciting to see him change his face up close.

I don't know why, but when I saw such a strange man, my heart was eager to try.

The studio quickly fell silent, except for the breathing of Brother Bai and I, we could almost only hear the low growl of the hound behind us.

My nerves tensed up little by little, and at the same time as the howling of the hound suddenly became louder, I rushed into the deep alley with Big Brother Bai.

Hounds are completely different from humans, not to mention that these are some big guys that Big Brother Bai is full of praise for, and their speed is simply unmatched by humans.

Brother Bai seemed to think that my speed was not fast enough, so he gloated and teased me while running nimbly, "I heard that these big guys haven't eaten for several days, Ling, if you don't run faster, I guess tonight I'm going to help them eat."

I was a little surprised by his address, and his movements were delayed for a moment, and the ferocious neighing of the hound immediately came from behind, which scared me to run as fast as I could.

If at the beginning I still thought that these dogs were just used by Brother Bai to scare me and would show mercy, then after the danger of being almost bitten on my leg just now, no one would question the killing of these dogs again force.

A large piece of my trouser leg has been bitten off. If Brother Bai hadn't used a stick to beat the dog back for a while, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed.

So even now that I feel less and less air in my lungs and my chest hurts, I still can't stop myself. I don't want to be the afternoon tea of ​​those hounds at all.

I don’t know how long I’ve been running, but the sound of the hound seems to be much quieter after Big Brother Bai dragged me into another corner, probably because of the brick he threw across the wall just now played a role.

Brother Bai took a quick look at the alley, then suddenly jumped onto a small platform that was half a person tall and was piled up with broken wood, stretched out his hand and said to me, "Come up, take a rest here for a while."

I looked down the stage, held his sweaty hand, and let him pull me up.

After I went up, I realized that the place is much smaller than it looks, and there is a small semi-conical space built by obliquely standing wood between the table and the wall.After Big Brother Bai dragged me into it, there was almost no gap, barely enough room for us.

I moved uncomfortably, Big Brother Bai's arm passed by my side, and picked up a few pieces of wood to cover the entrance, so that even if the hunting dogs pass by, they won't find us in the first place.

Safe for now.

I breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Big Brother Bai, and met his gaze looking down.

The thought of the two of us being made to jump up and down by a few dogs, and it was our own fault, made me want to laugh, and I really gasped.

Brother Bai seems to be a little tired too, the space here is very narrow, we can't stand upright at all, so Brother Bai simply lowered his head and pressed it against my forehead, and his breathing was a little short.

Seeing that I was gasping for laughter, he stretched out his hand and patted my back to help me breathe, and he also raised his lips and smiled.

Scattered light shone into his eyes through the gaps in the wood, sweeping away the usual elegance and tranquility there, as if there were tiny stars flowing.

We were breathing very close, and his breath was mixed with the tea fragrance that I gradually became familiar with, and his chest was also heaving violently due to the long run before.

"I escaped a catastrophe." Sweat ran down my face, and I panted slightly.

Big Brother Bai rubbed my head, his slightly cool fingers ran across my hot and humid hair, feeling very comfortable.I couldn't help rubbing it.

"You've done a good job." He said softly, his voice so gentle that it wanted to drip water.

My heart beat violently, and I couldn't help but want to withdraw from his arm, but suddenly my waist tightened, and I was pulled into his arms again, and my sweaty chest was tightly pressed together again, "Don't move, first Rest here for a while, and we will continue with the next game in a while."

He rarely said forcefully.

I couldn't help but froze slightly, because of this action, which seemed too intimate no matter how you looked at it.After a while, I gradually relaxed in his arms. After thinking about it, I simply handed over half of my body weight to him. Anyway, my legs are a little weak right now.

It's not that he didn't notice his sudden closeness these days, and those seemingly inadvertent physical contact, he is obviously a person who doesn't care about anyone except Xiao Xiao...

I squinted my eyes in his arms, leaned my head on his shoulder, and breathed nonchalantly across his neck. It was interesting to find that his hand on my waist froze imperceptibly. Immediately happy.

I might not have been sure before today, but his behavior just now was so obvious that I couldn't even pretend I didn't know.

Knowing that I liked a man before and still came to provoke me, no matter what the reason is, I can't spoil his interest, can I?

And actually, I'm quite interested in him too...

Thinking of the painting I completed a few days ago, I smiled slightly.

For a while, only the breathing of the two of us could be heard between heaven and earth.

I leaned against Big Brother Bai's chest, listening to his gradually calming heartbeat, and then suddenly remembered a question that made me almost jump up.

"No! Isn't there a camera following us all the time?!" I immediately stretched my neck and looked through the gaps in the wood, but there seemed to be no one around.

"Did you just find out now?" Brother Bai smiled helplessly, patted my back reassuringly, then pointed to the top of my head, and whispered, "It's on top."

"Huh?" I suddenly looked up, and only saw the dark spire.

It turned out to be blocked by these woods...

"Then they can't see what we are doing here?" I whispered to him.

Brother Bai looked at me with interest, "What do you want to do?"

I touched my chin, looked at our ambiguous posture, and muttered a few words, "I don't want to do anything, but if those people outside see our current appearance..."

They all seem to know that I liked men before, do they think I'm going to kill Brother Bai again? _(:3」∠)_...

If I didn't pay attention, I fell into brainstorming again, until Brother Bai patted me on the shoulder.

"Huh? Why?" I looked up blankly, my face suddenly turned cold, one drop, two drops, three drops, "It's raining?!" I turned my head to look outside.

This is obviously a studio...!

"Well, it's raining." Brother Bai said calmly, as if he knew it would happen.

"Remember the feeling when you were chased just now. After entering the crew, just do what you did just now. The director won't make things difficult for you."

I nodded, still wondering why it was raining.

I heard Big Brother Bai say again, "Do you remember the third act?"

I was stunned for a moment, is the third act coming together today?

Zhan Ling's third appearance as a teenager is very similar to the first time, the difference is that the first time he escaped with Zhou Xiao successfully, but it also planted the foreshadowing of misfortune.

When Zhan Ling learned that Zhou Xiao had been called out of school on a rainy night and hadn't come back until after school, Zhan Ling was restless holding the mobile phone that Zhou Xiao had thrown at school, and according to the information in the text message, he found the girl who was being killed by a group of people. Zhou Xiao who was hunted down by others.

The situation this time was completely different from before. The menacing group behind them looked like gangsters, their bodies were full of dark and dangerous aura.

With nowhere to go, Zhan Ling and Zhou Xiao decided to split into two groups, divert a group of people away from each other, and finally meet at the agreed place.

When Zhan Ling struggled to get rid of the people behind him and arrived at the place agreed with Zhou Xiao, the group of people chasing Zhou Xiao suddenly appeared and arrested Zhan Ling.

Zhou Xiao betrayed Zhan Ling, and for his own sake, he betrayed Zhan Ling to this group of people with malicious intentions.

This is Zhou Xiao's first transformation in "Ups and Downs", starting with betraying Zhan Ling, who is closest to him.

Since then, Zhou Xiao has almost never seen Zhan Ling again.

It was also a rainy night.

The sky outside gradually darkened, and the sound of rain dripped on the wood and flowed in through the cracks.

Brother Bai let go of his arm and rubbed my head, "The next step is your journey alone, be careful, and don't get caught."

The last two sentences were the last words Zhou Xiao and Zhan Ling said before they parted. I tightened my neckline, and the wind blew in, making me feel a little cold.

We jumped off the log, and the figure of Big Brother Bai quickly disappeared around the corner, and the startling roar of the hound came again from behind. I took a deep breath and rushed into the growing rain.
