Chapter 126 Your brother just went upstairs
Shuang Xu didn't know whether he was angry or what, so he whispered, "Then I'll go down first?"
He Tingzhou said calmly: "Why, do you want me to see you off?"
Shuang Xu closed the door quietly, walked a distance, and then stopped.
In fact, she did see a little bit when the light came on.
He Tingzhou seemed to... react.
She stood there silently for a moment, then turned back, grasped the door handle and opened it.
The lights from the corridor could not wait to penetrate into the dark room. He Tingzhou was still leaning in the same position as before. At the junction of light and shadow, he turned his head to look at her, the outline of her body was half blurred and half clear.
Shuang Xu glanced at his trousers, raised his head, and perhaps out of embarrassment, asked a stupid question: "What are you doing?"
He Tingzhou said: "Think about life."
She lowered her eyes a few inches, staring at his chest, not looking into his eyes: "Do you need help?"
He Tingzhou said nothing.
There was no telling what the silence meant for those few seconds.
Shuang Xu felt a little regretful and didn't understand what was wrong with him to decide to go back just now.
How can I help you with this matter? Are you too free?
Besides, every extra minute spent in this room with him was dangerous and irrational.
She turned around and tried to leave, but He Tingzhou grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.
The door closed tightly again. The living room on the first floor was brightly lit and filled with laughter. However, this suite, which I had visited for the second time, was neither bright nor soundful. The door separated two completely different worlds.
Two people were huddled together at the door, their overlapping figures difficult to distinguish in the darkness. If one listened carefully, one could hear low and suppressed breathing.
It was clearly He Tingzhou who was panting, but Shuang Xu's face was so hot for some reason.
She had never done this before and didn't know it was so... tiring.
Her hands felt a little sore, so she had to stop to rest. He Tingzhou did not urge her. He rested his chin on the top of her head, and his breath was filled with the light and gentle scent of white tea.
In the living room, Yue Zifeng finally won a hand and laughed wildly with his hands on his hips. Shen Yu raised his wrist for the third time to check the time, threw the cards down, and stood up from the sofa.
"Not fighting anymore?" Zuo Zhong asked.
Yue Zifeng shouted: "I just won a round and you don't want to play anymore, can't you afford to lose?"
"Let me make you happy for a while." Shen Yu said, and walked towards the stairs.
The water from the faucet washed four hands. He Tingzhou hugged Shuang Xu from behind, wrapped her smaller hand with his big hand, made some foam, and carefully and patiently helped her wash her fingers.
Halfway through washing, he bent down and kissed her ear.
"Can you be faster?" Shuang Xu was almost impatient because of him, so he pulled his hands out and washed them quickly himself.
Her cell phone beeped briefly, it was a message alert. Before she could check it, it rang a second time and a third time.
She wiped her hands and took out her cell phone, which was a message from Lu Manman.
【Level 1 Alert! 】
[Your brother just went upstairs, it seems he went to look for you!!]
【Did you receive it? Did you receive it? Did you receive it? ! ! ! 】
That line of words, with its three-dimensional, magnified, jumping special effects, brought the deafening alarm sound into Frost Xu's ears, sharp and loud.
She left the room as quickly as possible, turned into the corridor, and met Shen Yu face to face.
"Brother." Her heart was beating fast but she pretended to be calm.
"Where did you go?" Shen Yu asked.
She said, "I felt sick in my stomach, so I went back to my room and took a pill."
Shen Yu looked at her quietly for a moment, and said, "Mom has made some red date tea. I'll heat you a cup."
Shuang Xu followed him downstairs, and when she returned to the living room, He Tingzhou was already sitting on the sofa, with his left foot crossed over his right foot and resting on the tea table, looking very lazy.
?
Shuang Xu's eyes couldn't help but widen. How could he be so fast?
He Tingzhou's eyes swept past them, as if he didn't care at all.
His mood at this moment was obviously much better than when he didn't say a word during dinner. After Yue Zifeng dealt the cards, he picked up a stack and counted the cards slowly, saying, "Well, the missing child has finally been found. There's no need to call the police."
“…”
Shuang Xu sat next to Lu Manman, and Lu Manman said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You're welcome."
Shen Yu went to the kitchen to heat a cup of red date tea for Shuang Xu. He placed the hot tea in front of her and He Tingzhou raised his eyes to take a look.
Zuo Zhong yawned: "I'm sleepy."
Yue Zifeng said: "It's only a few o'clock and you're already sleepy. Are you entering old age prematurely?"
"You slept until the afternoon, so of course you're not sleepy." Zuo Zhong stood up, "No, I'm going to sleep first, you guys play."
"Hey, the room on the second floor with the terrace belongs to me." Yue Zifeng said vigilantly, "Don't try to steal it from me."
Shuang Xu paused and subconsciously looked at He Tingzhou.
And He Tingzhou was also looking at her.
After exchanging a glance, she looked away as if nothing had happened, picked up the teacup and took a sip, scalding her tongue.
He Tingzhou suddenly laughed.
Perhaps the timing of his laughter was a little abrupt, or perhaps the fact that he actually laughed was abrupt enough.
Shuang Xu immediately glared at He Tingzhou warningly, "Can you please stop laughing?"
Yue Zifeng wondered: "What are you laughing at?"
"You're so adorable when you smile." He Tingzhou leaned back on the sofa, his expression showing a lazy and comfortable look.
"Mom, don't love me too much." Yue Zifeng said, "It's a good opportunity to divide the rooms. Those who are sleepy can go back to sleep first. Sister and Manman can stay in one room, and the rest of us can each have our own room."
Shuang Xu had no objection and was about to nod when Shen Yu suddenly said, "She is not feeling well, let Manman sleep alone."
Yue Zifeng ignored Zuo Zhong's expression of disdain and resistance and said, "Then Zuo Zhong and I..."
Shen Yu said: "If Tingzhou doesn't mind, you can sleep in my room. I have a simple bed in my study that can accommodate you for one night."
"I don't mind." He Tingzhou took out four cards and threw them out in a frivolous tone, "You can sleep in the same bed with me if you want. I don't grind my teeth or snore. I just like to hold something in my arms - three with one."
“…”
Sometimes Shuang Xu really envied his shamelessness because he could tease anyone.
A group of people laughed with ill intentions, but Shen Yu was not annoyed. He smiled lightly and said, "I mind."
