MTL - The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me-Chapter 5
"Uh, are you coming down to boil water too?" Ji Mingxia tried to make himself look more natural, and said, "My big bucket of water will be fine for a while... If you want to burn it, it may take longer and many more."
After finishing speaking, Ji Mingxia was worried that Yu Ningzhen was standing here and waiting for the water with him, and the plan would not be able to go ahead for a while.
Ji Mingxia hurriedly said again: "Why don't you go to the dormitory and wait. I'll go upstairs and call you after I burn it?"
Although Yu Ning didn't answer, Ji Mingxia had read the novel. According to his understanding of Yu Ning's character, Yu Ning actually didn't like to get along with unfamiliar people when he could.
So, Ji Mingxia frantically looked for words, trying to give Yu Ning the steps to leave: "I don't know what happened today, the rain is so heavy, the dormitory is fine, the first floor is really cold."
"You're wearing short sleeves too? Do you think it's not summer, but winter haha."
"If I hadn't waited for the water to boil, I would have gone back to the dormitory in the morning, and I would have gotten goosebumps when I was cold..."
Hearing this sentence, Yu Ning moved suddenly, his eyes slowly moved down, and fell on Ji Mingxia's arm.
Ji Mingxia is from the south. He is 1.78 meters tall, which is relatively common in the north.
But when standing with Yu Ning, she still looks a little shorter.
A boy who has just grown up, still has the thinness of a teenager, Ji Mingxia's appearance follows his mother, and he is more elegant and gentle. Although his skin was not as pale as Yu Ning's, it was fairer and more delicate than the average boy, so it was clear at a glance that the surface of the skin had changed.
Originally, Ji Mingxia was talking nonsense about this situation, but when Yu Ning saw it like this, her hair stood up and her whole hand was almost stiff.
He quickly retracted his hand unnaturally, just as he was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, suddenly, footsteps were heard not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a figure rushed down, showing a fat face: "Mingxia, Mingxia brother!"
The person here is Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning's classmate, named Zhu Ming.
When seeing Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning standing together, Zhu Ming hesitated for a moment, but finally ran to Ji Mingxia.
He directly ignored Yu Ning's existence and said to Ji Mingxia, "Brother Mingxia, I heard Chen Zhen and the others say that you have already taken a bath. Can you lend me this bucket of hot water tonight? ?"
"Huh?" Ji Mingxia stared at him blankly, not expecting that it was just a bucket of hot water, and someone could cut him off halfway.
"I came back late today, there is no hot water to take a shower, it's so cold, I feel like I'm getting stuffy nose, I want to take a shower and go to bed early. It's almost the college entrance examination, I'm afraid of catching a cold." Ju Ming pleaded , "Lend me this bucket, I'll try to come back as early as possible tomorrow night, and I'll help you burn a bucket, okay?"
"Uh, this..."
"Zhao Zhuozhuo said your bucket of hot water is for backup, do you want to wash it again?" Ju Ming asked Ji Mingxia hesitantly.
"That's not it." Ji Mingxia said.
He originally wanted to secretly boil water for Yu Ning to be an anonymous living Lei Feng.
But at the moment Yu Ning is close at hand, in order not to add drama to himself, he must not be able to tell the truth.
Seeing that Ju Ming was still waiting by the side, Ji Mingxia had no choice but to say, "Then you can use it first."
"Thank you, Mingxia!" Ju Ming said happily, and immediately bent down to test the water temperature.
Although this bucket of water is not boiled, but because there is enough water, there is no need to add cold water, the temperature is directly enough for him to take a bath.
Ju Ming was so cold that he sniffed, quickly unplugged the electric heating rod, then picked up a bucket of water and walked upstairs.
After walking a few steps, Zhu Ming suddenly remembered something again, turned around and glanced at Yu Ning, and said to Ji Mingxia with a deep meaning: "Brother Mingxia, let's go, go up, don't stay at night. Wandering around here is bad luck."
In Ju Ming's opinion, he kindly reminded Ji Mingxia.
Anyway, the matter of Yu Ning's broom star has spread all over the county, and everyone treats him like this.
Ju Ming took Ji Mingxia a bucket of hot water and helped Ji Mingxia get out of the sea of misery.
Ji Mingxia glanced at Yu Ning a little embarrassedly, seeing that Yu Ning was still standing there, unchanged from beginning to end, as if he didn't care about him and Zhu Ming at all.
Ji Mingxia was a little relieved, in order to maintain his supporting role, he stopped talking to Yu Ning and quickly followed Zhu Ming's pace.
While walking, Ju Ming whispered to Ji Mingxia to stay away from Yu Ning in the future, and by the way, he gave Ji Mingxia various rumors about Yu Ning.
Ji Mingxia had already read these in the novel. Although he knew that Zhu Ming was kind, he still didn't want to hear it.
However, in order to maintain the character, Ji Mingxia did not interrupt Ju Ming.
While agreeing with Zhu Ming, "Mmm, I understand, I understand", Ji Mingxia walked and tried to think of a solution in his mind.
Yu Ning didn't have a bucket, so he only had a water basin. Even if he boiled all the water in the water basin, it was enough for a warm bath.
He just came back from the rain, and his hair is all wet. To be safe, he must use hot water.
The bucket of water that Ji Mingxia worked so hard to burn is now being held in Ju Ming's arms, so the only way is to use the campus card to buy hot water.
Ju Ming's bedroom was at the corner of the first floor, and the two soon parted ways.
While waiting for Ju Ming to open the dormitory door, Ji Mingxia suddenly noticed the light coming from the kitchen window of the auntie in the other direction.
Going around the aisle, you can come to the kitchen window of the aunt in the dormitory. At the same time, this position is a dead corner where the water is boiled, and Yu Ning can't see what he is doing.
Ji Mingxia has an idea.
--
Yu Ning stood on the spot, listening to Zhu Ming telling Ji Mingxia about his "past events", the footsteps of the two gradually faded away.
Although it was delayed for a while by something, it soon returned to normal, and the two returned to their bedrooms.
Every minute and second of senior year students is extremely precious. It is late at night and most of them have fallen asleep.
With the departure of Ji Mingxia and Zhu Ming, the entire corridor returned to silence, only Yu Ning was left alone, standing under the light.
He held the knuckles on the edge of the water basin and retracted them unconsciously, leaving traces of blue and white, but soon, Yu Ning let go with restraint, and his face gradually returned to indifference expression.
Yu Ning didn't turn around until it was confirmed that no one was there.
He has long been used to being rejected by others. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he has always been alone.
Never take the initiative to find someone, never speak, and never look directly at someone.
Today is an exception.
Unfortunately, the results were not unexpected, and everything was the same as usual.
At this time, the auntie who was washing dishes in the kitchen came out.
Seeing that the aisle was deserted and deserted, and only Yu Ning was left, the housekeeper aunt said to Yu Ning: "It's so late, don't boil water for a bath, I'm ready to go to bed, the third year of high school is not yet Sleep, don't you die?"
Yu Ning nodded and packed her things to leave.
Seeing this, the auntie housekeeper said, "Hey, wait, in such a cold day, taking a cold shower will kill people, take this card, and quickly take a shower and go to bed."
The auntie housekeeper said, took a campus card, and put it into Yu Ning's hands.
Yu Ning didn't expect the auntie to do this. She looked at the campus card in front of her and said, "No, thank you auntie."
"I'll take it for you, hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to close the door." The housekeeper said, putting away the electric heating rod to avoid accidents in the middle of the night.
Yu Ning felt warm in her heart, but stubbornly returned the card.
The housekeeper was about to close the door, but Yu Ning refused to accept the card, and the two suddenly stalemate.
The aisle was quiet, leaving Auntie and Yu Ning alone.
Although Yu Ning is good-looking, her appearance is really too weird, and the aunt who is not young is the most taboo about those things. At this moment, I can't wait to close the door and completely isolate from Yu Ning.
In desperation, the auntie had no choice but to say: "It's useless for you to return it to me now, this is not my card, auntie tell you the truth, this is your classmate, please ask me to lend it You washed it."
"Classmate?" Yu Ning looked at the auntie in surprise.
It's okay for him to lower his head. When he lifts his head, the pair of different pupils under the light are clearly reflected.
The hair on the aunt's body is almost standing up: "Yes, yes, you go up and take a hot bath, and just return the card to him tomorrow."
Speaking, thinking of Ji Mingxia's well-behaved and bright appearance, the housekeeper aunt couldn't help but exhort: "Don't wash for too long, it's not easy for your classmate, come down and boil water to take a bath. , I'm still taking care of you. In the evening, don't disturb others, wash up and go to bed quickly, and have class tomorrow. "
After finishing speaking, taking advantage of Yu Ning's distraction, the auntie housekeeper quickly closed the door.
Leaving Yu Ning to stand alone, holding a campus card.
The campus card is slightly worn on both sides. It can be seen that its owner often uses it. There are no special marks on the front and back sides, and no name is written.
Yu Ning returned to the dormitory holding the campus card.
Yu Ning walked into the dormitory in the dark and quickly took a cold shower.
When he came out, most of them were already asleep, Zhao Zhuoyue and others even snored.
Yu Ning walked to his bed and glanced aside, Ji Mingxia was also asleep.
If he hadn't seen some of Ji Mingxia's actions with his own eyes, at this moment, Yu Ning would never have suspected Ji Mingxia.
Because of Ji Mingxia's behavior, she was too calm.
But whether it was last night or this evening, Ji Mingxia was like nothing after the incident.
It's time to eat, sleep, and don't delay yourself at all.
Still holding the campus card, Yu Ning was curious about Ji Mingxia.
The street lamps outside the window let in a ray of light, so that the dark boys' bedroom could barely see.
Vaguely, Yu Ning saw Ji Mingxia lying flat on the bed, the corners of his pajamas rolled up because of his sleeping position, revealing a portion of the skin around his waist.
The position of the waist is darker than other places. At first glance, it looks like a shadow, but when you look closely, it is a faint scar.
Yu Ning thought of Ji Mingxia's fall in the classroom today.
The fall was really heavy, not only woke him up, but even the ghosts were scared away.
Is it bleeding?
The temperature at night was lower than that in the daytime. Yu Ning looked at Ji Mingxia's exposed waist and hesitantly reached out, trying to help him cover the quilt.
When she was about to touch the quilt, Yu Ning didn't know what to think, and his hand stopped in mid-air again.
He held the campus card tightly, and after a while, raised his hand again.
Just as he was about to touch Ji Mingxia's quilt, suddenly, a cool breeze blew from the window.
Ji Mingxia, who was sleeping soundly, felt a chill, suddenly turned over, hugged the quilt tightly and continued to sleep.
Yu Ning almost "snapped", quickly withdrew his hand, turned his back to Ji Mingxia.
In Yu Ning's ears, everything disappeared at that moment, only the clear heartbeat in his chest, beating violently.
