Chapter 85 Spend Time Together

After the rain, the ancient town lost the panic caused by the disaster. The sun warmed the bluestone slabs, and the air was filled with the freshness of grass, trees and soil.

The college where Tang Ximian is studying is organizing students who are sketching to return to school in batches. In front of the temporary registration point, the teacher checks the list one by one. Students who are picked up by family or friends can leave first after signing and confirming.

Tang Ximian clutched the registration book, his fingertips trembling a little as they ran over his name - from the time the disaster occurred until now, his heart had been hanging in the air until the moment he saw Si Yankai.

He signed quickly, and as soon as the pen tip left the paper, he turned and ran towards the parking lot.

The corners of the light-colored coat were lifted by the wind, and the fine grass debris on it swayed gently. The footsteps stepped on the dry stone road, making a light and urgent sound.

Si Yankai's car was parked not far away, with the window half-lowered, and his figure could be seen with his elbows resting on the window.

Tang Ximian opened the passenger door and got in. Before he could look up and say "I'm fine", a shadow suddenly fell in front of his eyes.

The next second, he felt something warm and soft on his lips, with Si Yankai's usual cool and reassuring scent.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and met Si Yankai's eyes - those eyes were tired from running around for days, with a faint red at the corners of his eyes, but when he looked at him, they were full of inextricable tenderness, like a lake soaked in warm sunshine.

Before he could react, Si Yankai stepped back a little, gently rubbed his cheek with his fingertips, and said in a low voice with a smile: "Baby, close your eyes."

Tang Ximian's heart was beating rapidly and he closed his eyes obediently.

The next moment, that softness came over again, lighter and longer than before, with cautious cherishment, as if to knead all the worries and longings of these days into this kiss.

Occasionally, he could hear other students talking and the sound of car doors closing, but he could hear nothing. He could only clearly feel the warmth on his lips and Si Yankai's hand gently around his neck. The warmth from his palm came through the fabric, so soothing and comforting.

It was unknown how long it took before Si Yankai slowly separated.

Tang Ximian slowly opened her eyes, her vision was still a little shaky, the tip of her nose was faintly red, and her lips were kissed to a particularly bright color, like cherries covered in morning dew.

He looked at Si Yankai's face so close to him, no sound came out of his throat, he just felt his cheeks burning, and even his breathing was trembling slightly.

Si Yankai looked at him like this, smiled softly, and touched his lips lightly with his thumb, his voice full of doting: "Are you stupid?"

Tang Ximian pursed her lips, leaned her head against his shoulder, and inhaled his scent before slowly finding her voice again, with a soft, sleepy tone: "You..."

Before she could finish her words, Si Yankai gently rubbed her hair again and said, "Rest for a while, we still have a long way to go."

He nodded, closed his eyes, and felt the steady breathing of the person beside him. His heart seemed to be filled with warm water. All the anxiety and fatigue disappeared completely in this kiss, at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Tang Ximian's breathing gradually became steady, and her eyelashes cast a light shadow under her eyelids.

Si Yankai slowed down the car, and when passing the service area, he gently and carefully placed his head against the back of the chair, then took a thin blanket from the back seat and carefully covered him with it, even tucking his wrists gently.

When he came back after buying the hot porridge and just opened the car door, he saw Tang Ximian with sleepy eyes open, his eyes were still a little confused, like a kitten that just woke up.

"Where have you been?" His voice was hoarse from just waking up, and he subconsciously reached out and grabbed the corner of Si Yankai's clothes.

"I bought you something hot," Si Yankai put the porridge on the cup holder, reached out and touched his forehead, and made sure there was nothing wrong before he felt relieved. "Are you hungry? Have something to eat first."

Tang Ximian nodded, and when he sat up, he was still a little sleepy. Si Yankai had already opened the lid of the porridge for him and handed him a spoon.

The warm porridge slid into his stomach, dispelling the remaining chill. He sipped it, then suddenly remembered something and looked up at Si Yankai: "What about you? You haven't eaten either, have you?"

"I've eaten bread." Si Yankai smiled and rubbed his hair. His eyes fell on the corner of his lips which was stained with porridge. He reached out and gently wiped it off with his fingertips. His movements were natural and intimate.

Tang Ximian nodded, but turned the porridge she had scooped up towards him and said, "Drink some with me."

Si Yankai was about to refuse when the spoon was pressed directly to his lips, so he had no choice but to open his mouth and eat it.

After eating about one-third of it, Si Yankai refused the porridge that Tang Ximian handed over to him again.

"Okay, you eat the rest."

Tang Ximian didn't say anything and just nodded obediently.

The carriage was very quiet, with only the sound of the spoon hitting the bowl wall and the occasional sound of wind passing by outside the window.

After he finished his porridge, Si Yankai took the empty bowl and put it away, then handed him a bottle of warm water. He watched him finish drinking it before starting the car.
