Chapter 43: True or False Young Master: The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character Controlled by the Plot 8…
Yu Suisui and Yu Xingyu are leaving tomorrow. Qi Yiheng came to take them to catch fireflies, but it suddenly rained heavily after dinner, so they had to give up regretfully.
The rain in July and August always comes quickly and sharply. The bean-sized raindrops hit the tiles on the roof, making a dull and heavy knocking sound. Qi Yiheng stretched out his hand to feel the vibration of the raindrops hitting his hand. It seemed as if a continuous rain was falling in his heart, and he felt a little depressed.
"What bad luck! It seems I won't be able to catch fireflies today." said Yu Suisui.
She also felt a bit sorry. If she left Gravel Village, she might not have this opportunity again. However, she wasn't that obsessed with fireflies. Right now, it was more important for Qi Yiheng to go to sleep.
"Qi Yiheng, when do you go to bed?"
Yu Sui always likes to call Qi Yiheng by his full name. In fact, both she and Yu Xingyu are half a year younger than Qi Yiheng.
Although her question was inexplicable, Qi Yiheng still answered her: "I will fall asleep soon."
"Oh, I'm sleepy. I'll go back to my room and sleep first." After saying that, he pretended to yawn and turned back to his room.
Since they couldn't catch fireflies, Yu Xingyu and Qi Yichen went back to their rooms. After they left, Qi Yiheng returned to his room and closed the door.
Yu Suisui leaned on the door and saw Qi Yiheng returned to the room. She was secretly happy, but the light in the room was still on for a long time. Yu Suisui waited until she yawned, but the light in Qi Yiheng's room did not go out.
Forget it, I'll sleep for a while and get up in the middle of the night to cut his hair.
When Yu Suisui walked to the bed, she found that a large area of her pink bed was wet. She looked up and saw that the roof was leaking and rain was dripping onto the bed, making it impossible for her to sleep.
She complained and was very disgusted with the Qi family's shabby house. She originally wanted to squeeze in with Qi Yijin, but suddenly she had an idea, her eyes rolled, and she came up with a brilliant idea.
She knocked on Qi Yiheng's door with her small pillow, and without waiting for Qi Yiheng's response, she pushed the door open and slipped in. At this time, Qi Yiheng was sitting in front of the table reading a book, and the dim light blurred his facial features.
Before Qi Yiheng could speak, she started talking a lot, saying that her house was leaking and could not be lived in, so she had to sleep in his house. She also said that Yu Xingyu and Qi Yichen were asleep and she couldn't disturb them, so she had to come and disturb him.
Qi Yiheng: I didn’t realize you were afraid of disturbing others.
However, Yu Suisui, who was standing at the door, was wearing a pink cotton nightgown, with her slightly curly long hair draped over her head. Her thick-lashed eyes blinked at him, her rosy lips opened and closed, and she spoke with disdain about how poor their family's conditions were, with her eyes rolling up to the sky, and she looked actually a bit cute.
Qi Yiheng was used to the eldest lady's impulsive personality, so he smiled good-naturedly: "Then you can sleep in my room today, I will change your bed quilt."
Qi Yiheng closed the book in his hand, opened the cabinet, took out a stack of clean quilts and spread them on his bed. He planned to sleep on the floor in his parents' room.
When he was walking out holding his mattress, he was suddenly stopped by Yu Suisui.
"where you go?"
"...sleep in my parents' room."
"No, you have to stay here with me. I'm scared at night."
When he said this, he didn't seem to think about why he was afraid today when he had slept alone for so many days without being afraid.
Qi Yiheng gently pulled at the wrist she was holding, but it didn't budge. He said helplessly:
"It's not appropriate for me to sleep in the same room with you."
"What's inappropriate about that? I didn't ask you to sleep with me. Can't you just sleep on the floor?" Yu Suisui said as if it was a matter of course.
"This... isn't good either. Why don't you go to sleep first? I'll wait here until you fall asleep before leaving."
Yu Suisui thought to herself, how can I cut your hair if I'm asleep? But Qi Yiheng just refused to do so no matter how hard he tried. Yu Suisui got anxious and used the same trick again. She jumped on him and hugged his neck tightly, shouting that she would not let him leave unless he slept with her. She was just like a child playing tricks.
The day Qi Yiheng met Yu Suisui for the first time, he would never have thought that Yu Suisui would cling to him like she does today, just to get him to stay and sleep with her.
Qi Yiheng's handsome face turned slightly red, and it was unclear whether it was because of Yu Sui's strangulation or because he was angry. The redness spread to his neck and sweat appeared on his forehead. He was simply helpless against her.
"Okay, I'll accompany you. I'll sleep on the floor here with you. You, you come down first!"
When Yu Suisui heard what he said, she slid down like a little fish, stood on the ground barefoot, and looked at him with contentment from the corner of her eyes.
Qi Yiheng let out a breath slowly. Looking at her like this, he wanted to be angry but couldn't. It seemed like he could never be angry with her.
Both of Yu Sui's slippers fell off when she jumped on him just now. Now she was standing on the uneven ground, and her round toes curled up uncomfortably.
She lowered her head and looked at her feet, only to realize that she had not stepped on slippers and her feet were dirty.
"Qi Yiheng, my feet are dirty." He frowned with a look of disgust.
Qi Yiheng looked at her and finally couldn't help laughing. How could the young lady even dislike her own feet?
Just when Yu Sui was considering whether to let Qi Yiheng carry her to the well to wash her feet, Qi Yiheng suddenly bent down, put his arms through her legs and picked her up sideways.
Yu Suisui suddenly jumped into the air and subconsciously put her arms around his neck. She seemed to smell the clean scent of soapberries on his body.
"What are you doing?"
"Your feet are dirty, I'll carry you over."
Qi Yiheng placed her on the edge of the bed. His movements were easy and natural, just like moving a light vase from one table to another.
Yu Suisui stared blankly at him as he wet a towel and squatted beside the bed to carefully wipe her feet. Looking down at his eyelashes trembling like black crow feathers, Yu Suisui suddenly felt something gently gripping her heart, and then quickly loosened, leaving her feeling confused and at a loss.
She didn't understand what that feeling was, but suddenly she didn't dare to look directly into Qi Yiheng's eyes.
She was just spoiled, which didn't mean she was a fool. She knew Qi Yiheng was a very good person.
He is gentle and patient, kind and upright. Because Grandma Qi accepted money from their family, he feels he has the responsibility to take good care of them, and he never complains when faced with her difficulties.
People like this should be treated well.
Qi Yiheng asked her to go to bed, and he took some hay and spread it on the ground, then laid out a mattress and quilt. After he was done, he lay down on it.
"Go to sleep." Qi Yiheng said.
It was hot in the summer and there was only one cool mat left at home. Qi Yiheng helped her spread it out and slept on the rough mat himself. But even so, Yu Sui still complained of discomfort. She had never slept on a cool mat before, and the hard bamboo mat scratched her arms a little.
Qi Yiheng didn't expect that she had never even slept on a cool mat, so he had to remove the cool mat and replace it with a thinner quilt for her. Fearing that she would be too hot, he even pointed the old-fashioned fan on the bedside table at her. When she finally managed to fall asleep, he was sweating all over.
Yu Suisui glanced at the sweat on his forehead, pouted slightly, and moved the fan a little closer to him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get any wind.
Qi Yiheng noticed her movements, was startled for a moment, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and he said: "No, I'm not hot."
Yu Suisui didn't say anything or move. The fan was still aimed at the middle between the bed and the floor so that both of them could get some air.
After finally calming down, Qi Yiheng still felt a little hot when he smelled the fragrance of shower gel wafting from the bed.
He closed his eyes, turned over, and forced himself to sleep quickly.
The fan that had been used for many years was spinning creakingly. In the quiet room, one could still hear the chirping of insects outside the window and Yu Suisui's gradually even breathing.
Yu Suisui had originally kept her eyes open, hoping to wait for Qi Yiheng to fall asleep. However, for some reason, as soon as she touched the pillow, she felt completely drowsy. She tried hard to keep her eyes open, but in the end, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep...
Qi Yiheng smiled, thinking that she fell asleep quickly. He turned over and looked at the sleeping Yu Suisui quietly.
Some moonlight from outside the window spilled in, dimly illuminating Yu Suisui's palm-sized face. She closed her eyes tightly in her sleep, her lips unconsciously pouted slightly, looking harmless and well-behaved.
The eldest lady seemed to be fast asleep, frowning from time to time, as if she was cursing in her dream. She reached out and scratched her arm, then turned over and lay flat on her back from lying on her side.
Qi Yiheng noticed that she was always scratching her arm, so he stood up and walked closer. Sure enough, he saw a mosquito bite on her arm, which was red from being scratched by her, and even the skin around it was scratched red.
Qi Yiheng frowned, walked lightly to the table, took out a bottle of medicated oil from the drawer, and walked to Yu Suisui's bed.
He dipped a little with his fingertips, and then lightly applied it to Yu Suisui's mosquito bite, and then fanned it with the most common cattail leaf fan in the countryside.
Yu Suisui felt a cool sensation on her arm in her sleep, but it still felt a little itchy. She wanted to reach out and scratch it, but suddenly it seemed as if a cool and dry hand grabbed it, preventing her from scratching.
"Don't scratch it, it will break." Qi Yiheng murmured in a very light voice.
If you don’t give in, then don’t give in. Yu Suisui struggled for a while in a daze, withdrew his arms irritably, turned over and continued to sleep.
Seeing that she didn't move, Qi Yiheng continued to fan her with the palm-leaf fan. Through the dim moonlight, his eyes unconsciously fell on her slender back, and then moved down to her rolled-up nightgown and... the scenery under the nightgown?
Qi Yiheng looked away suddenly as if he had been burned, his face unusually red in the dark night.
Last time he only saw a little bit of white fabric, but this time Yu Sui's nightgown was rolled up to her waist, and her small and round... was completely displayed in front of him.
Qi Yiheng closed his eyes, stiffly touched the edge of her nightgown, and pulled it down until it completely covered her thighs, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't dare look around anymore, so he simply closed his eyes and fanned himself with the palm-leaf fan in his hand, trying to drive away the annoying mosquitoes and the summer heat for Yu Suisui.
Yu Sui's breathing was steady and long, and it was obvious that she was sleeping soundly...
*
When the first rooster crowed in the yard, Yu Sui rubbed his eyes, and after two seconds of hesitation, he suddenly sat up and looked to the side.
Qi Yiheng was still asleep, sleeping quietly on the floor, his sleeping posture was very regular, just like him.
Yu Sui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She didn't know how she fell asleep yesterday. Fortunately, Qi Yiheng hadn't woken up yet.
She got up quietly, took a pair of scissors from the table, and walked to Qi Yiheng as quietly as possible. She knelt beside his bed and held the scissors close to his head.
“Chuckle—”
Yu Suisui's hands trembled, she held her breath, and cursed the spoiling chicken in her heart. Then she stared at Qi Yiheng nervously. She saw that his eyelids moved, but he was not awake. He turned over and faced her.
Yu Suisui let out a breath, staring at Qi Yiheng's hair. She carefully cut off two very short hairs, put them in a small transparent bag she brought with her, and then put them in a large pocket on the front of her nightgown, revealing a relieved smile.
After finishing all this, Yu Suisui lowered his head and looked at Qi Yiheng carefully. Seeing that he showed no signs of waking up, he wondered why Qi Yiheng didn't get up today. Doesn't he usually get up very early?
How could she know that Qi Yiheng had been chasing away mosquitoes for her all night, and only went to bed at dawn, so naturally she slept soundly.
Only then did Yu Suisui notice that Qi Yiheng's eyelashes were very long. Unlike her own curled eyelashes, his eyelashes hung straight down, casting a shadow under his eyes. His lips also had a nice shape.
When she closed her eyes, Yu Sui could not see his eyes that were as clear and gentle as the sky, and her temperament seemed a little cold.
Not sure what she was thinking, maybe on a whim, Yu Sui suddenly wanted to touch his eyelashes, and she did so. But as soon as her hand fiddled with them, Qi Yiheng opened his eyes. Yu Sui kept this action and looked him in the eye.
Yu Suisui: “…”
