Chapter 156: Rub her hands?

Wen Zhile pulled the long pole behind the door and opened it.

The person at the door smiled shyly: "Good morning, I'm here to deliver this month's rent."

"Okay."

Wen Zhile quickly took the ten yuan, which was the third month's rent.

"Brother Fang, you guys also have classes today?"

When she came to her grandmother's house during the past two months, she occasionally met children and their parents who were going to the alley for class. The students in the training class were all teenagers, and most of them had just finished their winter vacation.

It's a bit hard to go to training class to continue studying right after the holiday.

Fang Xue shook his head: "I'll come and clean the classroom. It starts on the 6th."

He smiled slightly and lifted the fruit in his right hand: "I bought some fruit from the fruit stand when I passed by here. I'll carry it in for you."

This is not just a little bit, it’s a lot, a whole bag full of apples, enough to last for a month.

"Brother Fang, you are so polite. I will accept it this time, but next time you come, please don't bring anything extra."

Wen Zhile estimated the weight and reached out to take it: "Let me do it. I can carry it."

Last month, when Fang Xue came to deliver the December rent, he also brought an extra gift. She thought he would just be polite and didn't say much, but she didn't expect him to bring one this time as well.

He and Sister Xiuxiu are indeed a family, with similar temperaments.

When she first came to Jingzhou, she thought that she would not have much interaction with Sister Xiuxiu in the future, so she wanted to express her gratitude in one step and directly gave Sister Xiuxiu money. However, Sister Xiuxiu turned around and bought her clothes and returned the money.

They are siblings who are good at making friends and don't like to take advantage of others.

Fang Xue gave her the apple.

He got a good deal because the monthly rent for the whole courtyard house was only ten yuan, so it was reasonable for him to bring some gifts.

However, after these few interactions, he had seen Wen Zhile's true character clearly. Knowing that she was speaking from the heart and not being polite with him, he agreed to avoid embarrassing her.

After delivering the apple, Fang Xue didn't stay long. He chatted briefly about the training class and then returned to the entrance of the alley.

Wen Zhile was originally going back to the yard, but she saw a military vehicle driving into the alley from a distance. She looked at the license plate number and waited at the door.

When the car stopped, Shu Chengan asked in the yard: "Who's here?"

He came out to wash tomatoes, then went to the well and pumped some water from it.

Wen Zhile turned around and said, "Brother Fang came to deliver the rent and just left."

Shu Cheng'an put down the basin and walked to the door.

Wen Zhile's soft voice reminded him of the soft Wu Nong accent when Qiao Fei spoke. Shu Cheng'an felt itchy as he walked. Recently, he only stole glances at Xiao Qiao and didn't say a word to her.

My cousin said that Xiao Qiao has given up on Xu Xiujie. Can he continue to pursue her?

"Why are you still standing at the door after you've left?"

"elder brother!"

"Ah?" After Shu Cheng'an answered, he realized that this brother was not addressing him.

He glanced at the door, clicked his tongue lightly, and turned back the way he had come.

Wen Zhile didn't notice that he agreed, and looked at the door with a smile on his face: "Brother, why did you come so early? Are you looking for me or my cousin?"

Zhou Jihuai got out of the car, holding two pineapples, and looked at her gently: "Looking for you."

When he arrived, he happened to meet Fang Xue entering the yard. After he finished speaking, he looked at the big red bag in the little girl's hand.

Wow, so many? I'm willing to spend.

Wen Zhile had already guessed that he was here to see her, and her smile deepened after hearing this.

She felt that her love for Zhou Jihuai might have reached a new level, otherwise she wouldn't be so happy when he said he was coming to see her.

The little trick was so obvious that even though she had no experience in dating someone, she could still tell what it was.

People often say that a short absence makes love better, and her current condition can probably be described by this phrase.

"What are you thinking about, Zhizhi?"

The little girl touched her nose shyly and said, "I'm a little hungry. I want breakfast."

"Brother, have you had breakfast?"

"No." He ate.

"I brought you two pineapples. Are grandma and your parents here?"

Pineapples were very expensive this winter, but Zhou Jihuai didn't spend any money.

He took the pineapple from the storage room at home before leaving the house. After he carried it away, he was fortunate enough to receive complaints from his biological father Zhou Zhanqi.

"Yes, my uncle, aunt and cousin are here too."

"Then I'll go in and call for help." He bent slightly and easily took the apple from the little girl's hand. "Is it not heavy?"

"It's quite heavy, but it's not polite to accept a gift and then ask someone to help deliver it."

She and Fang Xue were not close enough to the point where they could bother each other without worrying about causing trouble, so she could only try her best to carry it on her own.

"Let me check my hands."

Wen Zhile subconsciously raised his hand in front of him.

The handle of the plastic bag had rubbed her slender, whitish fingers red, and her fingertips were slightly purple; the interweaving of red, white and purple was too distinct.

Zhou Jihuai frowned, transferred the pineapple and apple to one hand, then raised his free hand, and it seemed that he wanted to touch her hand.

Could it be... that you want to rub her hands?

Wen Zhile pursed her lips unconsciously and suddenly perked up.

When the two hands were about to touch, the man paused for a second and put down his hand: "Go home first, it's cold outside."

"Oh, okay." Wen Zhile loosened her lips that were pursed due to nervousness, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the yard with him.

Shu Chengan squatted beside the well and looked at them jokingly: "I wondered who it was, it turns out it was Brother Huai."
