...
In the evening, the dusk in the sky fades away and the night gradually spreads.
The wind was a little chilly, and on the lawns on both sides of the river, the wild flowers were drooping and swaying, as if they had entered dormancy early.
The river surface sparkles, and the red candlelight reflects in the ripples. This is the last gift before dusk fades away.
The water and flowers dance together, the clouds and rivers blend together, it is the intoxicating scene of the water and sky blending into one before the sun sets.
"We'll be home soon, just hold on a little longer."
The clean and pleasant sound falls into the ears, like a sweet spring flowing into the rocks bit by bit, bringing a cool and comfortable feeling
With her eyes half open, in the hazy chaos, Gui Yanxinmei felt that someone was carrying her on his back.
The strong and warm back, the fresh fragrance lingering in her nose, this familiar sense of security made her suddenly realize
"Tada-kun...?"
She called him hesitantly and softly, her tone still sounding sleepy.
"Ah."
The young man responded calmly, which sounded very pleasant and clear in the quiet air.
The evening street lights were on, and from this angle I could only see his handsome, fair face in profile, and the fan-shaped shadows cast by his thick, long eyelashes in the dim light.
It's really him~
A light welled up in her eyes, and Gui Yan's heart curled up slightly. The tension and anxiety in her heart disappeared instantly.
She tightened her arms around his neck and sniffed the boy's shoulder, still smelling that pleasant fragrance.
A sense of peace of mind
All of this is not fake
With the corners of her lips raised, she closed her eyes again, rested her forehead against the back of the boy's head, and fell asleep again.
Listening to the shallow breathing of the girl behind him, Qingyou smiled. What a sleepyhead.
He chose to walk slowly, not making a sound to wake her up.
...
"crunch-"
Take out the key to open the front door, then press the button on the wall to turn on the fluorescent light at the entrance.
He tilted his head and looked at the girl who was sleeping on his shoulder. Qingyou's cold eyebrows softened instantly, "Miss, wake up, we are home."
"Hmm~"
A soft moan came from her lips, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her wine-red eyes opened, still filled with the confusion and haziness of someone who had not yet woken up.
"We're home." Qingyou reminded in a soft voice, "Come down first, and sleep after dinner."
The smooth white chin rested on the boy's shoulder. Gui Yanxinmei didn't reply, just looked at him without saying a word.
It seems like he is looking at a rare treasure that he cannot take his eyes off.
Qingyou felt a little frightened by her stare, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt inexplicably embarrassed.
"Um, Miss..?"
Fortunately, this phenomenon did not last long. The girl looked at him for a while, then turned her head and slowly got off his back.
The feeling of uneasiness in his heart disappeared, Qingyou smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly walked into the Xuanmen Pass, trying to divert his attention with other things.
"Change your shoes first and go sit in the living room and rest for a while. You've been walking in these canvas shoes all day, your feet must be very sore."
As he spoke, he bent down, opened the shoe cabinet, took out a pair of pink cotton slippers and placed them next to the girl's feet.
Gui Yanxinmei still stood there without moving.
This made Qingyou confused, "Miss?"
“These shoes.”
"Ok?"
Gui Yanxinmei looked at him with a complicated expression, "You haven't thrown away these shoes yet?"
Uh⊙?⊙!
Qingyou scratched his head in embarrassment.
Actually, he was lazy and forgot to throw it away.
But when he saw the girl's expression, he closed his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to explain.
"Change your shoes first and go to the living room to watch TV for a while. I'll go and prepare dinner."
Seeing that the boy was obviously avoiding this topic, Gui Yanxin's beautiful eyes flashed
No positive response is equivalent to acquiescence. So, Tada-kun has always hoped that she would come back?
A trace of joy suddenly appeared in my heart, but I nodded expressionlessly and said "hmm".
Bend down and start to take off your shoes and put on indoor slippers
Qingyou thoughtfully took the bag for her and said, "There are some snacks in the drawer under the coffee table. If you are hungry, you can eat some later."
"Ah."
After changing into slippers, Gui Yanxinmei walked into the inner room
The living room is still the same as before, with simple decoration and layout, without any changes. There are only five pots of green plants planted on the balcony. With the arrival of spring, several of them have bloomed, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of the fruits of these green plants.
Staring blankly at everything around her, she thought she would feel unfamiliar with this place, but just by stepping in, a full sense of familiarity came over her.
It feels like home, a real home...
"Why are you standing there in a daze? Go sit on the sofa. Your feet won't feel sore anymore."
Qingyou came over and urged her gently
The place is still the same place, the boy is still the same boy, nothing has changed, everything seems to have returned to the way it was before
"Here we go."
Gui Yanxin raised the corners of her beautiful lips, and immediately felt that the haze in her heart had dissipated a lot. She hadn't felt this relaxed and happy for a long time.
She sat down on the sofa, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. She randomly picked a channel to watch, and a sense of peace and comfort enveloped her.
She raised her eyes and looked at the figure busy in the kitchen. She asked softly, "Tada-kun, can I have a bottle of milk under the coffee table?"
In the kitchen, Qingyou paused while cutting vegetables.
He only had three bottles of imported Wangzai left...
There was a trace of pain in his eyes, but he continued to chop vegetables, pretending to be indifferent in his tone, "Of course."
After receiving the boy's response, Gui Yanxin's eyes curved up, and the expression on her face became more and more lively. She was no longer as lifeless as a puppet as before.
Unpack the straw and insert it into the bottle, and sip it while watching TV.
Mm, it's really delicious.
...
After cooking, Qingyou picked up the plate and walked out of the kitchen
"Miss, it's time to eat."
Seeing the three obviously empty milk bottles on the coffee table, Qingyou's face twitched, and his heart ached as if it was bleeding.
"Here it comes~"
The girl came running over in her slippers. Although her delicate face had no expression, her tone was soft. This contrast made her even more adorable.
Seeing her like this, Qingyou's anger over the Wangzai milk being drunk instantly disappeared.
Never mind, I'll just have to buy another box anyway.
Putting the dish on the table, he comforted himself in this awkward way.
The last two dishes were brought out from the kitchen. As usual, there were four dishes and one soup, all with light flavors.
"I've already prepared hot water in the bathroom. You can go take a shower after dinner." After serving half a bowl of rice to the girl, Qingyou sat back in his seat and began to serve himself a full bowl.
Natural and familiar movements
"Hmm~"
98②208898 Gui Yanxinmei picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into her mouth. It had a slightly salty stir-fried taste with a hint of minced meat in it. It left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth, dispelling some of the bitterness of the vegetables. It was obviously a light flavor, but it tasted very good.
Stir-fried pork belly with vegetables
It's one of her favorite dishes.
Looking at the other three dishes, although they are not my favorites, the taste is also light.
Not too salty or too sweet, just like how she feels about him.
The boy lowered his eyes and chewed the meat and vegetables slowly. While eating, he did not forget to scoop a spoonful of egg custard into her rice and gently reminded her, "Be careful of the heat."
Gui Yanxinmei bit her chopsticks and arched her eyebrows.
Just like my feelings towards Tada-kun, not too paranoid nor too crazy, everything is just right.
...
After the meal, Qingyou took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, then stood up and prepared to clear the table.
"Well, I... I'll do it too." Gui Yan Xinmei also stood up, wanting to help hesitantly.
After all, she and the boy were not in a relationship where one owed the other anything, and she felt like she was eating for free.
Her request made Qingyou stunned, "Help...?"
His expression immediately became strange, "Miss, have you forgotten what happened last time when you helped me wash the dishes?"
Hearing Qingyou say this, Gui Yanxinmei instantly recalled that when she was living with the boy before, she once broke several bowls and plates. Not only that, her fingers were also cut several times.
"I...."
Gui Yan turned her head away, her ears turned red, and she felt embarrassed.
"That was in the past. I might be..."
"It's the same now. Don't be so confident all the time. What if you cut your hand again?" Qingyou walked over and gently pushed her back, "driving" her to the bathroom. "Go take a shower quickly. I can take care of this little thing."
"Eh?"
When Gui Yanxinmei reacted, she found that she had been pushed to the bathroom door.
"I put a set of your pajamas in the clothes basket. This is what the young lady put in my closet and forgot to take away." Qingyou reminded, then walked to the dining table and started to clean up the dishes.
Following his words, Gui Yan looked at the shelf in the bathroom, and there was indeed a purple nightgown on it.
It's the one I often wear.
I was wondering why I couldn't find it when I moved away, and I thought I had accidentally lost it.
I pursed my lips and pinched the corner of my clothes with my fingers. This feeling of losing and regaining is quite wonderful.
Walk into the bathroom and slowly close the sliding door
Take off your clothes and walk behind the fence
I looked at the bathtub next to me and saw that it was filled with hot water.
Gui Yanxinmei was a little dazed
The boy's meticulous care and concern always made her fall into it again and again, even now.
But the more gentle she was, the more she could recall the boy's indifference and ruthlessness towards her during their previous quarrel.
The indifferent tone of voice lacked any emotion, which broke her heart. In the end, she even had little desire to live.
It is so painful to put all your heart on others. It is common to worry about gains and losses. But she is happy to do it.
It's hard to fall in love with someone, and it's even harder to get out of it.
They are reconciled now, but the boy doesn't like her anymore. So what was the reason for him to say those words in the afternoon?
Is it just because you feel sorry for her that you can't bear it and feel pity for her?
