MTL - Chasing Summer-Chapter 74
Lin Zhexia couldn't remember when she fell asleep last night.
In the memory, she cried and cried for a while, and then woke up again. She opened her eyes, and Chi Yao was carrying her to the bathroom.
"..." Seeing that she woke up, Chi Yao said, "You are covered in sweat."
Lin Zhexia: "I wash it myself."
"Your legs are weak, even if you hook me around my waist, can you go down to the ground?"
"..."
Chi Yao put his arms around her waist, carefully placed her on the bathroom sink, and then went to adjust the water temperature.
Lin Zhexia supported the cold marble countertop with his hands, and still felt his whole body was burning hot.
She finally closed her eyes in the middle of the bath and fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up the next day, the people around her were gone.
She felt like she was falling apart.
Just as he was wondering where Chi Yao had gone, he heard noises from the kitchen outside.
The white shirt from last night was wrinkled out of shape. She dug out her own sweater from the closet and put it on, then walked out of the bedroom with her slippers on.
Chi Yao was making her breakfast in the kitchen.
The boy was wearing a set of loose home clothes, with trouser legs hanging down to his ankles. He still looked wanton, but his cooking movements added a rare softness to him.
Sunlight came in from the side window, he turned over the poached eggs in the pot without raising his head: "Are you awake?"
Lin Zhexia: "Yes."
Chi Yao: "Is there any discomfort?"
In fact, it's not comfortable anywhere.
But she was too embarrassed to say so.
"No," she braced herself, "I'm strong and strong."
Chi Yao turned off the fire, picked up the fried egg with his chopsticks, and placed it on the side plate. Hearing this, he said meaningfully, "Really."
Lin Zhexia frowned.
vaguely aware of something.
Sure enough, in the next second, Chi Yao said again: "So next time you cry and say no, it's because you want me to continue."
He changed his ending, "After all, you are so strong and strong."
"..."
She just knew it.
"I was trying to be strong just now." Lin Zhexia tucked her hands into the sleeves of her sweater, trying to make amends to herself in despair. "Actually, I am very weak, but I have a better face."
Chi Yao knew that she was too tired last night, so he just teased her casually, quickly skipped the topic, picked up the baked bread, and brought the plate to the dining table: "Come and eat."
Lin Zhexia sat down obediently: "Oh."
When Lin Zhexia gnawed on the slice of bread, she wondered for no reason: Are they living together like this?
This feeling comes with hindsight.
Because she stayed with Chi Yao since she was a child, and she has too much experience in sharing the same room.
So at the beginning, I didn't feel what it was like to live in his house, but I was briefly embarrassed at the thought of sleeping together.
She took a sip of the milk, the temperature of the milk was just right, neither cold nor hot.
As she put down the glass, she thought:
The feeling of living with him in the future is like this.
All her fantasies about the future have landed at this moment, with a concrete picture.
If her future life is like this...
Seems to be fine.
"Have a meal, what are you laughing at?" Chi Yao asked her.
Lin Zhexia didn't want to answer: "Does the law stipulate that you can't laugh while eating?"
Chi Yao ate faster than her, and from time to time the two of them would quarrel with each other like before: "Your family has a rule for guests to wash dishes, remember?"
Lin Zhexia speeded up her breakfast, lest she ate too slowly and couldn't escape the fate of washing dishes later.
She stuffed the remaining slice of bread into her mouth and puffed out, "I'm not a guest."
Chi Yao signaled her to continue talking.
Lin Zhexia was a little embarrassed, and her voice was a little vague: "...I am, the hostess. There is no rule in our family that the hostess should wash the dishes."
"Tsk," Chi Yao reached out and took the plate away from her hand, "I accept this reason."
After breakfast, Lin Zhexia lay on the sofa and refused to move.
She is so tired.
She lazily looked at her phone for a while, and He Yang sent her a message.
- I just went to your house to find you, and your mother said that you have returned to school.
Lin Zhexia deftly replied with a full stop: .
Da Zhuang: ...
Da Zhuang: You go back to the **** school, the school won't allow you to live there.
Da Zhuang: Is your Lian Da different from our teacher?
Lin Zhexia also had to lie to He Yang, otherwise it would be easy to get under Lin He's side, so she replied to him: Of course it is different, the score line is different.
Da Zhuang really ended the chat in a second: Goodbye.
Chi Yao has some professional things to do and went to school, Lin Zexia stayed in the living room and watched TV all day.
In the holiday season, two TV series are the latest hits.
She watched for a while when the doorbell rang.
She was afraid of affecting Chi Yao, so instead of calling, she sent him a reminder on her mobile phone.
- someone rings the doorbell
- did you buy anything or did your friend come to see you
Chi Yao only replied three words.
- to open the door
Lin Zhexia walked to the door and saw the delivery man outside through the crack of the door.
The takeaway staff handed her a bag of things: "Hello, Ms. Lin, you ordered takeaway."
Lin Zhexia stretched out her hand in a daze: "...ah, thank you."
She didn't order takeaway.
But when she took the things in the bag, she immediately realized who ordered it.
The bag is full of snacks, including her favorite ones.
In the past, when she went to Chi Yao's house to watch TV, she had to bring her own snacks. After a long time, he would put some at home, but he refused to admit that it was given by others, but Lin Zhexia silently complained about this person more than once. How can there be any friends who send snacks.
This time she came in a hurry, probably Chi Yao didn't have time to prepare, and guessed that she would watch dramas at home, so he took time out to order takeaway for her.
She took a picture of the contents in the bag and sent it to Chi Yao.
- did you buy it
Boyfriend: Bought by a ghost
Lin Zhexia couldn't help laughing, and then continued to curl up on the sofa with a snack bag: good performance
Boyfriend: Will there be a reward when I come back later?
Lin Zhexia: Let me think about it
After she finished posting, she unpacked the bag of snacks and continued to watch the show. After watching and watching, she fell asleep again, and Chi Yao came back before dinner in the evening.
When Chi Yao came back, she had just woken up.
Without fully opening her eyes, she could vaguely see a figure squatting in front of her, patting her head lightly, as if she was some kind of pet kept in his house: "Are you hungry?"
Lin Zhexia became more conscious: "I'm not hungry."
After all, I ate so many snacks in the afternoon.
"Are you still uncomfortable?"
"...No more discomfort."
As soon as the words fell, Chi Yao, who was squatting in front of her, asked again: "What about the reward?"
"What reward?"
Lin Zhexia reacted a little slower, completely forgetting the previous chat between the two.
When she regained consciousness, she slowly sat up from the sofa, curled up her legs, and mustered up the courage to hook her fingers at Chi Yao: "Then lean closer."
Chi Yao is squatting at the moment, with his wrists on his knees, even though he is squatting, this person's legs are still in good shape. Hearing this, he leaned forward and got closer to her.
Lin Zhexia put her arms around his neck, leaned over and kissed him.
"Gone?"
"No more," Lin Zhexia let go of her hand, "Don't push yourself too far."
Chi Yao didn't continue the conversation, he stood up, reached out to her, and pulled her up from the sofa: "Let's go, I'll take you out for dinner, and go to the supermarket by the way."
Lin Zhexia came here in a hurry. Although the two of them arranged a lot of things together before, they didn't consider that she would stay here temporarily, and the house still lacked a lot of daily necessities for girls.
Lin Zhexia stayed at home for a whole day, and just wanted to go out for a walk.
So the two of them changed their clothes and went out together. Before going out, Chi Yao hung the gray scarf hanging at the entrance around her neck.
Seriously circled around a few times, wrapping her like a ball.
"It's very cold outside, don't you wear it?" Lin Zhexia's voice came through the scarf muffled.
"Oh, I want to maintain my image," Chi Yao finally tied a knot for her, "Just go out alone and lose face."
Lin Zhexia: "...how about returning this scarf to you, I don't want to be a green leaf to set off your handsomeness."
Chi Yao didn't want to discuss with her, so he took her hand and went out.
After a simple meal, the two went to the supermarket.
Passing by the women's products section, Lin Zhexia was more embarrassed than Chi Yao.
Because the shelves are full of sanitary napkins of various brands.
Lin Zhexia tugged at his sleeve: "Sanitary napkins... I can buy this myself."
Chi Yao: "Can't I buy it?"
Lin Zhexia asked back: "Just, don't you feel embarrassed?"
Chi Yao studied the size and type of sanitary napkins, and threw a few packs into the cart: "You might use it, so I don't think so."
The only things left to buy are pajamas and new towels.
Lin Zhexia followed behind the cart, walking very slowly. She stopped for a moment when passing the freezer, and then cautiously reached out to grab a box of ice cream.
In the past, at home, Lin He would scold me for eating ice cream in winter.
So she subconsciously thought that Chi Yao might not let her buy it either.
She thought she had hidden the ice cream under the cart without anyone noticing, and Chi Yao didn't find out.
Soon it was time to check out.
The two lined up at the cash register to check out, and when it was their turn, Chi Yao took out the things in the cart in the same way.
"Is there any food?" asked the cashier, "We have a discount on food today, it's best to sweep it together."
Lin Zhexia glanced at the cart guiltily, not knowing whether to say yes or not.
Chi Yao said, "There are more."
Then he picked up the things on the upper layer with his hand, like looking for snacks hidden by a child, and took out the box of ice cream that she thought she hadn't found just now: "This."
Lin Zhexia whispered, "How do you know I took it?"
Chi Yao: "Can't you see the whole mirror on the freezer?"
Lin Zhexia: "..."
Chi Yao added: "You can only eat one a day."
Lin Zhexia opened his mouth: "Oh."
At the end, while the cashier was scanning other things, Chi Yao said, "I bought you ice cream, aren't you very touched?"
Lin Zhexia opened his mouth and said, "I am very touched, today is an unforgettable day in my life, and I will always remember it—"
"Then get something for your boyfriend."
Chi Yao lowered his voice, pointed to the retail shelves behind, and deliberately said with a slightly prolonged ending that only two people could hear, "...Go get a box that you opened yesterday, you should know the size."
