cute
When she reached the gate of the community, Lin Yueqin remembered that she had a package to pick up.
"Well, let's go." Jiang Gao naturally accompanied her to the post station.
The boss skillfully placed the cardboard box on the ground. Lin Yueqin had already become familiar to the boss due to her frequent visits. He looked at the tall figure behind her and said jokingly, "You brought a helper with you today?"
Lin Yueqin quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, I was just on my way and there happened to be a delivery! He just happened to be there too!"
Coincidentally, both times when she went home with Jiang Gao, she always had packages to pick up, and they looked quite heavy.
"I don't treat you as free labor!" She looked at Jiang Gao and added softly, afraid that he would misunderstand something.
He chuckled, with a hint of joking in his tone: "You can treat me as." After that, he walked forward and took the cardboard box for her.
"Ah!" I didn't expect him to say that.
This sentence is really too easy to be misunderstood. Lin Yueqin's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, her cheeks slightly hot, and she froze in place.
Fortunately, the express package only looks big, but it is not too heavy. He can pick it up with one hand.
Jiang Gao picked up the box with his left hand, walked over to her, broke her daze, and asked, "What did you buy?"
"A toy for Gray."
It wasn't entirely a coincidence. She'd always loved online shopping, treating herself to snacks, clothes, and small items. She enjoyed the anticipation and surprise of opening packages. But lately, most of her purchases had been centered around Gray.
In the past three months, she has moved heavier cat food, toys and other things by herself.
So it was definitely not a coincidence that Teacher Jiang “just happened” to help her pick up the packages these two times! She thought to herself.
She looked at the figure in front of her. Jiang Gao had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped.
This made Lin Yueqin, who was following behind him, feel puzzled. Thinking that something was wrong, she asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"
He lowered his head, silently stretched out his right hand, curled his fingers slightly, and his eyes fell on her left hand hanging by her side.
He was waiting for something.
She understood.
Yes, he wants to hold hands.
It seems to be a matter of course, and it has become a fixed procedure.
Lin Yueqin looked up at his profile, noticed his slightly red ears, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
She couldn't explain why, but she couldn't hide her smile.
She quickly stepped forward, glanced at his palm, then put her left hand into his palm and interlocked her fingers with his.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: Teacher Jiang, you have changed.
Well, actually she was very happy too. She craved the warmth of his fingertips, the raised joints on the back of his hands, and the feeling of security when being wrapped in his big hands.
Holding hands, a simple touch of skin, can spread the feeling from the fingertips through the arms and then to the cerebral cortex.
The palms are overlapped, the fingertips touch each other, they rub unconsciously, and slide unconsciously. Because it is the palms, even the slightest changes can be noticed.
At this moment, a sense of intimacy arises.
It makes people nostalgic and addicted.
There is a small boat rocking in my heart, which has already caused ripples.
It was as if I thought I ordered an ordinary American coffee, but when I took a sip I found out it was peach flavored iced coffee.
Looking at the bottom of the cup, the layers are no longer obvious, and the brown and pink blend together. The light pink is hidden in between, but it cannot be ignored.
Still beautiful.
At this moment, sweetness and freshness slowly melt in your mouth.
The bitterness faded away, leaving only the heart-warming goodwill.
It's a surprise, and even more of a surprise.
It is an unexpected happiness, a happiness without any warning.
After that, the two of them walked slowly forward without saying a word, just holding hands.
…
Jiang Gao and she went upstairs and put down the express delivery.
Lin Yueqin couldn't wait to cut the package open with a knife, then took out the pictures of the merchant on her phone and showed them to Jiang Gao: "Isn't it beautiful?"
Looking at her smiling face, Jiang Gao raised the corners of his mouth slightly and nodded slightly.
Gray, who heard the noise, had already been standing next to the box, looking at it curiously.
Lin Yueqin bent down and took out the things one by one.
"Ah, it's not a finished product, and I still have to install it myself!" She frowned slightly.
"It's okay, I'll help you install it." he said.
Lin Yueqin has never had a natural talent for installing things. Last time, she watched the installation video for her cat paw pad five times before finally finishing it. She also spent three hours installing the armchair she bought long ago after moving, following the instructions step by step. She finally had to ask her father to help her when he came to visit. Each time, she'd work herself to the bone, and the result was often unsatisfactory.
So, faced with his initiative and kindness, she naturally did not refuse. After pulling out the bubble wrap, she made room for Jiang Gao.
The toy I bought this time is a hemp rope cat claw column, mushroom-shaped, red and white, which looks very vivid and realistic.
Of course, she wouldn't just walk away and become the boss. She chose to help him. Although she couldn't help much, at least she wanted to show her appreciation.
In fact, the assembly is not complicated. Jiang Gao took a look at the finished product picture and started working directly.
Lin Yueqin squatted aside, flipping through the instruction manual, but the person next to her obviously didn't need it.
Gray, on the other hand, was playing with bubble wrap, the kind you press to release pressure.
It burrowed its entire body under the membrane and stepped on it with its little claws, making a "click-click" sound.
The bubble wrap covered its head, trapping itself inside, but it looked like it was enjoying it. I don't know if it wanted to escape or was just playing a game on purpose.
That look was so cute and funny that it completely touched Lin Yueqin's heart. She couldn't help but squint her eyes and smile.
Jiang Gao, who was standing next to her, followed her gaze and saw Gray was still struggling, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"It's so cute, isn't it!"
"Yeah." He looked at the person next to him. She was squatting beside him, offering to help, but her attention was already on the kitten. Her eyes were curved into crescents, and she was holding the useless instruction manual in her hand.
You're cute too, he chuckled.
The kitten seemed to realize that it was the center of attention.
Finally, he freed himself from the bubble wrap and walked slowly towards Lin Yueqin.
There were cardboard boxes piled in front of her, and the space was a bit crowded, but Gray insisted on passing through the middle, so she had to move back to make way for him.
But the squatting posture was not very stable, and Gray was squeezing in front of her, so she lost her balance and sat down on the ground.
"Ah!" Lin Yueqin frowned, revealing a hint of pain. Her butt hit the hard marble floor, and it still hurt a little at that moment.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Gao quickly put down what he was holding, turned around and looked at her with a worried expression.
"It hurts!" Actually, it wasn't that serious. It was just so sudden that it made her a little embarrassed, so she exaggerated it on purpose.
Jiang Gao approached her,
Lin Yueqin thought he was going to pull her up, so she stretched out her hands.
However, he put his right leg over her bent legs, stretched out his arms through her armpits, and picked her up directly.
This was a very familiar posture, but for some reason, she felt particularly itchy today. She couldn't help but hiss, and couldn't help but laugh out loud as she said softly, "It's so itchy..."
Hearing this, Jiang Gao put a little force on his hands and pushed her back, letting her lean against him. Then he slid his arm down to support her waist and help her stand up straight.
Lin Yueqin also took the opportunity to hug his neck with both hands.
She didn't know why, but every time he held her like this, she felt like she had no bones and was limp, letting him do whatever he wanted.
"Does it still hurt?" he asked quietly.
She leaned against his neck and shook her head gently.
Well, actually, the pain was no longer obvious. Instead, her exaggerated reaction and his quick response just now made the "making a fuss" between the two of them seem a little funny. She blushed at this moment after realizing it belatedly.
Actually, this is really a small thing! So at this moment, I feel a sense of embarrassment.
"Go lie down on the sofa, I'll be ready soon." Jiang Gao said in her ear with a gentle tone.
It's just a fall... No need to worry. The shame on my face has long replaced the insignificant pain.
After Lin Yueqin stood up straight, she stepped back slightly, lowered her head and walked away embarrassedly.
Jiang Gao squatted down again and continued to complete the final assembly.
Gray knew nothing. He only wagged his tail, twisted his butt, and rubbed against the already formed mushroom column.
Jiang Gao looked at it, smiled helplessly, and sighed softly, but his eyes were filled with doting. He reached out and rubbed its head very gently.
Of course, Lin Yueqin didn't really go to rest. Instead, she took a bottle of water from the refrigerator and walked up to him.
She was very considerate and turned the water over to him.
He said, "Here, have a drink of water."
Jiang Gao looked up at him and took it with a smile.
The bottle cap was still in her hand. She took the mineral water bottle which still had a lot of water left, screwed it shut, placed it at his feet, and then squatted to his left.
Jiang Gao was a little surprised by her approach, but he didn't stop what he was doing. He just asked casually, "Are you not in pain anymore?"
Her eyes widened, "Of course it doesn't hurt!"
She's not that fragile!
…
"This mushroom is so cute!" she changed the subject.
"It seems like Gray knows you're building a toy for him, and now he's not afraid of you anymore!"
He chuckled.
"Wow! It's done!" She stood up before him, nodded with satisfaction, her tone full of pride, and looked at the mushroom toy in front of her, as if she had made it with her own hands.
Jiang Gao also stood up with her and stood beside her. Both of them looked at the scene in front of them with smiles on their faces.
Gray was climbing the mushroom pillar with his kitten paws. He seemed particularly satisfied with this new toy and made cute little baby sounds.
Of course Lin Yueqin would not miss this scene. She immediately took out her mobile phone to record Gray's happy time.
After filming the video, she turned and looked at Jiang Gao who was standing there: "Thank you for your hard work! Teacher Jiang!"
"It's okay." Jiang Gao had a smile on his face.
"The bathroom is over there, I'll take you there!"
Jiang Gao shook his head slightly, looking at the mess on the ground, "I'll clean this up first."
Lin Yueqin followed his gaze and looked down. "Ah? It's okay, I can do it."
Jiang Gao bent down and started to organize the wrapping paper before she finished speaking.
This...Teacher Jiang, you are such a nice person! Lin Yueqin couldn't help but secretly admire in her heart.
She also lowered her head and prepared to clean up with him, but Jiang Gao took the bubble wrap from her hand and said, "I can do it."
"That won't do! I can't use you as labor!"
He chuckled, and the two of them finally cleaned up the living room together.
