In the middle of the night, the blanket was kicked off.
Xiao Cheng opened his eyes and glanced at her. The girl's sweet sleeping face remained unchanged, her long, curled eyelashes covering her tightly closed eyes, only her brows were slightly furrowed.
Her pursed pink lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.
Xiao Cheng got up and covered Bai Lu's feet with the other half of the blanket that had been kicked to his side.
Then I lay down, closed my eyes, and continued to sleep.
Three seconds later, the blanket was kicked off again.
"hot……"
An unpleasant murmur rang in his ears. Xiao Cheng opened his eyes and looked to the side, but the sleeping face remained still asleep.
The other half of the quilt was already covering him. Bai Lu was only covered by the quilt on her upper body; the quilt below her waist was completely gone, and her fair feet were also exposed.
He also marched in a very imposing manner.
The wind created by her marching steps brushed against her ankles and feet, and her furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
As soon as he stopped marching, his brows furrowed, and then he continued marching, repeating this back and forth.
My ankle felt hot, probably because the medicinal wine was working.
Xiao Cheng remembered what his grandparents had said and whispered it into her ear exactly as they had said: "It will only get better when it's warm."
After saying that, he got up and covered himself with the blanket again.
Cover her from the waist down, including her feet.
Unexpectedly, this time, less than a second later, Bai Lu kicked the blanket away again, her brows furrowed.
He kicked it away and turned his back to him, his feet pressed against the wall through the mosquito net, as if feeling the cool temperature.
He was still muttering to himself, "It's hot... the blanket is on fire... it's so hot... my feet are burned..."
As he was talking, he even kicked the wall.
Whether she was angry or wanted to escape the fire, she kicked it again and again. The mosquito net and the wall were fine, but her originally fair and smooth feet turned red.
Xiao Cheng pinched the bridge of his nose, grabbed the pair of jade feet that were dancing in his eyes, and pressed them onto the bed.
With his other hand, he pulled the blanket over himself.
Half a second before the girl was about to kick, a warning word reached her ear: "If you kick again, I'll chop off your foot."
The chilling voice instantly froze him in place.
It was well-behaved for a long time, not moving at all.
Bai Lu's brows furrowed more and more, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her sleepy eyelids twitched, showing signs that she was about to wake up.
The man's voice came to my ear again, deep and coaxing: "I'll buy you wontons tomorrow."
Bai Lu's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, her eyelashes quieted down, and her eyelids stopped moving.
The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she were having a beautiful dream, so beautiful that even the campfire was extinguished by her joy.
In the pitch-black room, a low chuckle from the man broke the stillness of the night.
But it did not disturb the beautiful woman's sweet dream.
I slept soundly through the night until dawn.
...
Every year on this day, Xiao Wei gets up before dawn, folds the blankets, brushes his teeth and washes his face early, goes to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and waits for Xiao Cheng to get up so they can eat together.
Because if he overslept, Xiao Cheng wouldn't wake him up or take him to sweep his parents' graves.
Everything was the same as in previous years, starting from when I woke up.
The only difference is that Xiao Wei is wearing new clothes this year. They are not bright red or purple, but very ordinary colors, but they are new, just like the new clothes his mother bought for him during Chinese New Year when he was a child. Wearing them makes him very happy.
Drive away all the gloomy and bad moods.
Xiao Wei touched his new clothes again and again, his movements gentle, and the corners of his usually pursed mouth slightly lifted.
Put on your shoes, open the door and go out.
Unexpectedly, when I looked up, I saw that tall figure who should not have gotten up yet, walking out of the yard.
Is it this early this year?
The alarm bells rang in his mind, and Xiao Wei didn't dare to ask anything. He hurriedly ran after them.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, the man didn't stop, but uttered a sentence as he walked away.
"I'm going to buy breakfast."
Xiao Wei didn't believe it and hurriedly followed him to the door.
“Bai Lu is still at home,” Xiao Cheng said again.
The footsteps at the doorway paused, and the person stopped walking.
Once his mind cleared, Xiao Wei finally remembered that there was a Bai Lu in his family. This year, during the Qingming Festival, Bai Lu said she would accompany them to sweep the tombs, and his older brother silently agreed.
The eldest brother usually keeps his promises to Bailu, but if he doesn't, Bailu will stir-fry chili peppers and ignore him.
Bai Lu hasn't gotten up yet and hasn't come out, so her older brother probably won't go ahead on his own.
Going there would upset Bailu, which would be troublesome.
After figuring everything out, Xiao Wei watched the tall figure leave, then stopped following and obediently went back to brush his teeth and wash his face.
While brushing my teeth, I stared in a certain direction from the main house.
Halfway through brushing my teeth, that figure with an exceptionally gentle and sweet smile finally appeared.
Her long, smooth hair was tied in a low ponytail. She walked slowly, stretched, and looked this way.
Good morning, Xiaowei!
"morning."
Where's your brother?
She went into the kitchen and then came out again.
Xiao Wei, who was being stared at, took the toothbrush out of his mouth and told the truth: "I went to buy breakfast."
"Oh...why do we need to buy it outside? I remember we still have rice at home. Are we out of noodles?"
Bai Lu returned to the kitchen to mutter to herself, glancing at the top of the cupboard. There were still many noodles in the bag.
I don't understand why Xiao Cheng went out to buy breakfast. Oh well, I don't want to think about it anymore. I'll just squeeze some toothpaste and wash my face.
Just after brushing her teeth and washing her face, Bai Lu smelled a sweet fragrance, accompanied by footsteps approaching from afar.
His lazy eyes suddenly lit up.
It's wontons! Wontons! Wontons!
So Xiao Cheng also likes wontons!
Bai Lu quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, then shuffled to the main house and sat down properly.
She picked up her chopsticks gracefully and quickly, and started eating with the long-waiting boss and Xiao Wei.
Each person received a serving of wontons, which were quickly devoured, and all the soup in the three large bowls was drunk up.
Now that we've eaten and drunk our fill, it's time to set off.
Bai Lu checked the incense, candles, paper money, grave offerings, firecrackers, etc. that she had brought, and just as she was about to pick up the bag and leave, Xiao Cheng took it from her.
He didn't say anything, and turned to leave.
As a qualified psychotherapist, Bai Lu can accurately detect changes in a client's emotions in the first instance. Today, Xiao Cheng is in a very low mood.
It's not sadness or grief, it's indifference.
Although he still had that cold and indifferent face, the aura around him had become much lower.
It's as if the person is detached from the world, rejecting all approach, whether people or things.
His departing figure was lonely and desolate.
Once they reached the mountain, Xiao Cheng didn't say a word. He picked up a shovel and began clearing the weeds around the grave. The light drizzle fell on his shoulders, but didn't cause a ripple.
Xiao Wei didn't say anything, he took his sickle and cut weeds, the only sound in the entire forest was the hissing of weeding.
The rain lessened as the candles were lit.
But a wind was blowing from the northwest, and no matter how Xiao Cheng moved his position, he couldn't light the candle.
The orange-red flame on the lighter was always blown out by the wind, and his already furrowed brows furrowed even more.
The next second.
But a large straw hat appeared on his right, perfectly positioned to block out all the restless wind.
Xiao Cheng paused for a moment, then looked up slightly.
