countdown to winter

Chapter 18

Wen Xia hailed a taxi, Shi Xing wrapped his coat, shook his body, and sat in the back seat, his consciousness slowly recovered, Wen Xia's voice became clear, he didn't hear what Wen Xia said before, Just look at him.

Wen Xia's face was ugly.

He heard Wen Xia say, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Shi Xing opened his mouth and didn't say anything, but tears fell first and hit his bare legs, he lowered his head and said "I'm sorry".I don't know who I'm talking to.

In less than an hour, he returned to Wen Xia's apartment.

Wen Xia didn't say a word after getting off the car, which made Shi Xing a little scared, he said in a low voice: "Teacher Wen——"

"To shut up."

Wen Xia opened the door, Shi Xing followed him, and walked in slowly. Wen Xia went to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with water, turned back, bent down, and said softly, "Go take a bath first."

Shi Xing raised his red eyes to look at him, and said "hmm".

He went into the bathroom, took off Wen Xia's coat, looked at the red fingerprints on his body, and didn't move for a while, the hot air made Shi Xing seem like a world away.

Shi Xing desperately wanted to wash off the red marks on his body, and finally rubbed his skin red with a faint tingling pain, so Shi Xing gave up.

The body is clean, but what about the heart?Still not clean.

Halfway through the wash, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Wen Xia's voice came: "Can I come in?"

Shi Xing was taken aback, "Come in."

Wen Xia opened the door, and saw Shi Xing's naked upper body, which turned red from rubbing, he pretended not to see, "This is clothes, you should wear this first, and don't wear the other first."

Shi Xing: "...um."

Wen Xia stopped talking and withdrew.

Shi Xing stood up, dried himself, put on the clothes Wen Xia brought, and went out.Just after taking a shower, it was a bit cold to go out, Shi Xing saw Wen Xia sitting on the sofa, without turning on the TV, he just sat in silence and looked up at him.

"come over."

Shi Xing walked over barefoot and sat beside him.

"When did it start?" Wen Xia's voice was very soft, as if afraid of scaring him.

Shi Xing said, "When I was ten years old."

Wen Xia raised his eyes in shock, Shi Xing seemed to be narrating someone else's story, and his tone was calm: "On my tenth birthday, he had a tendency to molest me, and then he sneaked into my room and led me to have sex, but I didn't He refused and almost killed him."

Wen Xia: "..."

"When I was 15 years old, I wanted to fuck me, but I stopped him with a knife."

"Fuck," Wen Xia cursed again, it was the first time Shi Xing saw him swearing so much, it was a bit strange, but he didn't ask too many questions, Wen Xia said, "Don't go home from now on, just live in my house first. "

The sudden happiness made Shi Xing a little dazed, and he stuttered: "No, I won't trouble you, will you?"

"No," Wen Xia sighed, "If you don't come, I won't be relieved."

"Let me ask you again, was the injury on your back caused by your father?" Wen Xia said suddenly, Shi Xing hesitated, and said, "Yes."

Wen Xia stopped the water and asked softly, "How did you hit it?"

"Use belts, the thick ones are belts, and the thin ones are bamboo strips. He likes to beat others. The feeling of domination gives him the pleasure of being in control of everything."

"Fuck," Wen Xia slammed on the coffee table, making a loud noise, Shi Xing was startled, looked at him helplessly, Wen Xia gritted his teeth, "Fuck!"

Wen Xia suddenly said, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore," Shi Xing smiled, his beautiful eyes curled up, "It's been so long, it won't hurt anymore—really."

Wen Xia suddenly hugged him tightly, Shi Xing felt his warmth in a daze, and he heard Wen Xia say: "I'm sorry, the teacher failed to protect you."

"It's okay." Shi Xing's eyes were sore, he held back his tears and said, "Really, thank you."

Wen Xia let go of him, looked at his face, feeling very sorry for him, he blurted out.

"Star."

Shi Xing was stunned.

He is rarely called so intimately. His mother called him Xing Xing, and Shi Haoran called him by his full name just like everyone else, but this is the first time he is called "Xing'er"—the last sound seems to hook the apex of his heart So-so, unbelievably gentle.

And Wen Xia used to be called a child, a child, Shi Xing's heart trembled, and he looked into Wen Xia's eyes.

Wen Xia's voice was almost gentle: "Xing'er, don't be afraid, I will protect you in the future, really, no one can hurt you, I will do my best - let's forget about this in the future, okay?" good?"

Shi Xing trembled uncontrollably.

He said: "...OK."
