companion
Xu Nian didn't follow Xu Fengcheng out after all because she was caught looking at Xu Hongqi, and then his face changed from expressionless to pitiful.
It was also a bit like nostalgia. Xu Nian was not sure if he was being sentimental, but when he thought about how he was not notified every time his adoptive parents and their family went out to meet relatives and friends in his previous life, he felt a little uncomfortable and lonely.
"Why didn't you go with them? Didn't you miss them?"
Xu Nian looked at him with an expression that said, "Don't be so ungrateful after getting an advantage." "Then I'll go."
Xu Hongqi smiled when he heard this, "Go ahead, it's a good comparison with your brother."
When he said that, Xu Nian thought of his third brother going out like a peacock, showing off his feathers. Then he looked down at himself. Well, he looked gray and looked like a moth.
Forget it, I can’t compare, I can’t compare!
Seeing that she didn't move, Xu Hongqi stood up, took two steps, waved at her, and said, "Come here." Then he went into his room.
This action is hard to judge. Is she a dog? Is he teasing a cat or a dog?
Xu Nian really wanted to have the nerve to not go over, but when she thought of the look in his eyes when he called her just now, it was very tempting. When she said tempting, she didn't mean in a lewd way, but that he seemed to be using something she liked to seduce her.
Xu Nian looked up and down at the sky, and hesitated for just two minutes before his body honestly followed him into the house.
It was the brightest time of the day. The house where Xu Hongqi lived was her eldest sister's former boudoir. It was true that the house had been lived in, but it was well maintained. There were two large windows in the house, and it was very bright.
Xu Nian saw Xu Hongqi flipping through the blue schoolbag she had given him. She took small steps over and suddenly asked, "Is the schoolbag useful?"
Her voice was small and crisp to begin with, so it naturally didn't scare anyone. Xu Hongqi seemed to have just found something he was about to take out. He paused, turned around and said, "It's okay. I don't use it very often."
Xu Nian was shocked by his words and couldn't help blurting out some indirect slander, but at this moment, the man suddenly took out a yellow iron box the size of a little girl's palm from his bag.
The box was particularly eye-catching in the gray room. Although the lid had not been opened yet, Xu Nian could already smell its sweet fragrance.
"Is it Friendship brand vanishing cream?"
Xu Hongqi said calmly, "Hmm," and said, "Take it!"
Although Xu Nian had a feeling it was a gift for him, he was still flattered and couldn't help but confirm again, "Is it really for me?"
Although she said that, her actions were very certain, and she had already taken it in her hand.
Xu Nian had just washed her hands. She wanted to turn it on gently, but it didn't work. She tried again, but it still didn't work.
Xu Hongqi couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he reached out to take it. Without much force, he heard a "bang" sound and the box opened.
Since Xu Nian came here, she has been using clam oil on her hands. Later, when the weather was too dry, she asked her mother to buy a generic brand of vanishing cream. Now, the "big brand" vanishing cream in Xu Hongqi's hand has exquisite packaging, a yellow tin box, and a white paste with a fragrant aroma. She has only seen it in the glass display cabinet of the supply and marketing cooperative.
Not only does the ticket cost two yuan and seventy cents, which is a price that ordinary people can't afford!
Xu Nian carefully stretched out her soft little finger and scooped out a little. She first applied it to the base of her right hand, smelled it, and then applied it to the entire back of her hand.
I can't help but sigh that a domestic brand that has been able to develop for decades must have something going for it. It feels great after using it.
Seeing Xu Hongqi looking at her, she put her hand under his nose and said, "Brother Hongqi, does it smell good?"
Xu Hongqi seemed to be in a good mood and no longer tried to dampen the mood. Hearing this, he actually sniffed it carefully and said, "It smells good!"
"Hehe, right!" After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed to brag about something given to him by others, so he scooped some more with his fingers and dotted it on Xu Hongqi's face.
Xu Hongqi didn't care about her doing that, and just tilted his head back as if pretending to do so, but he didn't have time to dodge, and the vanishing cream happened to hit the dimple on his left cheek.
Seeing that he was about to get angry, Xu Nian subconsciously reached out to wipe the cream off his face, then glanced at him guiltily.
Xu Hongqi wanted to say Xu Nian at first, but as the soft and cool little hands touched his face and the fragrance suddenly filled the air, he reacted a little slowly.
When he came to his senses, he saw Xu Nian's cowardly expression and was unable to continue.
Xu Nian waited for a long time but didn't get scolded. Instead, he received some vague words like "Don't do that next time."
Neither of them is shy, but now you look at me and I look at you, both feeling a little uncomfortable. This kind of atmosphere has existed since Xu Nian confessed that night.
Sometimes her heart would beat wildly, but most of the time she would feel embarrassed. She always said whatever she wanted to say in front of him, so she asked narcissistically, "Brother Hongqi, do you like me very much?"
Xu Hongqi was shocked. Really, he was rarely shocked by anything. In a flash, he understood what Xu Nian meant. He was indeed very different from usual recently.
But he is not that perverted. Xu Nian is only thirteen and still a little girl. It is a bit far-fetched to say that he likes her, but it is true that he likes the feeling of being with her.
Especially that night when Xu Nian told him that they would get married and be together for the rest of their lives, at that moment he suddenly felt a sense of belonging, and he no longer had to drift alone, as if he was no longer alone. Even if he worked hard, he had a direction, and he felt that there was someone to spend the money he earned. Maybe he had been alone for too long, and he finally waited for a companion, who was someone very close to him besides his parents.
Xu Hongqi would not say these words to Xu Nian. He thought it was too pretentious, and he was even more afraid that she would feel it was a burden, and feel pressured and afraid.
He knew that Xu Nian was a person who was very afraid of trouble. If he and she didn't have such a strange fate, she would never have had any intersection with him.
"Brother Hongqi, haha, I was just talking nonsense." Seeing him staring at her without saying anything, Xu Nian wanted to laugh it off. Later, her voice became lower and lower, and finally she said in a whisper, "Don't take it seriously..."
If she didn't speak up, it would be impolite. After Xu Hongqi figured it out, he said to her, "Xu Nian, you are still young. We can talk about our relationship when you grow up. But don't worry, I will do better in this life than I did in my previous life. It will also be better for you.
The most important thing for you now is to study hard. You yourself said that the country will resume the college entrance examination in three years, and your timing is just right.
Perhaps his words weren't sincere enough, so he paused before continuing, "You're quite smart and quick-witted. Learning should be easy for you. I believe you'll have a good future."
Not to mention, Xu Nian was quite touched when she heard this, and she felt that Xu Hongqi was finally willing to admit the fact that she was smart. However, she didn't dare to promise anything at this time. If she took a wrong step, she would be humiliated.
She always believed that it was better to do more than to talk. For example, she could write secretly without them knowing, and she would make a big splash then.
If it doesn't shock anyone, well... she'll just pretend nothing happened. That's just the right attitude towards life.
Xu Nian looked as if she had listened carefully, and walked out of the door with her head held high. As soon as she walked out, she ran back to her room.
Xu Hongqi, who stayed where he was, sighed. As soon as he saw her expression, he knew that this girl was obedient and probably only listened to the last part where he didn't mean it sincerely. She must have been very happy in her heart. Look, the vanishing cream is still in his hand.
He closed the lid helplessly and went to the next room to deliver it. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Nian lying on the bed, with only his head and feet touching the bed board, but his body was raised up and down, looking very crazy. He couldn't help but ask aloud, "What are you doing?"
Xu Hongqi turned his head and saw that it was him. He screamed "Ah" and fell into the bed without saying a word.
Xu Hongqi tried his best to convince himself that he understood her and took two steps towards the table. "The vanishing cream is on the table. I'll leave now. You continue."
After saying that, he left quickly, so he missed Xu Nian's face which looked like a monkey's butt.
Oh, heaven! Oh, earth!
I really showed him all my ugly sides. Back then, I was like a fairy next to him. What happened to me now? I am so ugly. Is there still anything left for me in this world?
Xu Nian's heart was filled with all kinds of complaints. She was really just too happy to get the affirmation. It was also the first time she understood that if she was too happy, her body would not be able to help but do hip bridges.
The only mistake Xu Hongqi made was entering the girls' room without knocking...
How abominable!
This emo lasted for a long time. Thinking that the people who worked would come back to cook, Xu Nian went to the private plot in the backyard to pick some peppers. She also saw that there were potatoes in the kitchen and washed them all. However, the kitchen knife was not very easy to use when cutting vegetables, so she cut them crookedly, big and small.
Xu Hongqi heard the sound and came out to take over the work in her hands, drove her out of the kitchen, and did the work himself.
Xu Nian refused to come and went back to her room to pack her things. She didn't come out of her room until she heard some noisy talking outside the courtyard gate.
She trotted to the door and saw that the Xu family had indeed returned. Mother Xu had a loud voice. When she saw Xu Nian, she said to the neighbors who had followed her, "No more talking, no more talking. It's getting late and I have to make something good for the children."
I don't know the neighbor who smiled and said, "A promising child must eat something good, go quickly!"
Someone else continued, "Qinghua's wife is so lucky! She won't have to work anymore, and there's always more money at home than you can spend!"
"Haha, look at what you're saying. I'm just like you, digging in the dirt for food, what's the point? They're lucky enough to be able to support themselves. I'm really not going to say any more. I'm leaving."
Father Xu was the first to enter the courtyard. When he saw Xu Nian, he smiled and then said, "You've grown taller and more elegant!"
Xu's mother greeted them and hurried in. When she saw Xu Nian, she pulled her aside to look at her. "Hey, Nian Nian, have you lost weight? Mom made you some pumpkin buns that you like. Eat a few more."
The two brothers and sisters-in-law of the Xu family also had happy expressions on their faces. The family was really different now. The third brother was now a member of the most glorious working class, and the younger sister would have a bright future if she studied hard!
The three youngest kids in the family were shouting "Auntie, Auntie" in a lively manner. Xu Nian saw that they were as dry as little coal balls, but she still hugged and kissed them one by one.
She had the best relationship with Xu's mother. After her mother looked at her, she immediately hugged her and said sweetly, "Mom, I missed you so much. I didn't sleep well in the first few nights at school. I kept thinking about you and Dad. I missed home so much!
Hey, I brought you some food, wait a minute and I'll get it."
After saying that, she ran into her room, put all her things in place, took out all the sesame cakes, and took out three candies from the candy bag.
Before she even left the house, she heard her father's distressed voice, "We just came home and rested more, why did you cook for us?"
