Oxygen +18
It was very similar to the room she woke up in that day, with gray walls, clean and tidy gray sheets, and a fresh cedar scent.
And...that familiar feeling is back.
Xu Liang felt something was wrong and sat up suddenly. She lifted the quilt and saw a familiar pair of long legs lying in front of her. She raised her hand again and found that it was Qi Yu's hand again.
His brows suddenly furrowed, and Xu Liang wanted to touch the long hair that originally belonged to her, but what touched his palm was Qi Yu's neat short hair.
Moving further down, one can see Qi Yu's prominent brow bones, deep eye corners, high nose bridge, and round Adam's apple.
"No..." The voice that came out of his mouth turned back into a deep male voice.
She swapped places with Qi Yu again? !
Impossible, definitely impossible!
Xu Liang quickly got out of bed, without even putting on slippers, and strode into the bathroom in the room.
A clear mirror hangs in the clean bathroom, and you can see the person in the mirror clearly at a glance.
Looking at that familiar face, his frown deepened, and his eyes were filled with strong disbelief.
Xu Liang couldn't believe what he saw at all.
She must have gotten used to playing Qi Yu these days, she must still be dreaming!
The faucet was turned on and the water flowed evenly. Xu Liang caught several handfuls of cold water with his hands and poured it all on his face, trying to wake himself up.
But when he looked in the mirror again, the reflection was still Qi Yu's.
She still didn't believe it and went to the living room barefoot.
The familiar bitter aroma of coffee still wafted through the living room.
Qi Yu was occupying her body and grinding coffee leisurely.
Xu Kyung ran up to him angrily: "Why did we switch again?!"
The coldness on Qi Yu's face last night disappeared, and he seemed to be in a good mood at the moment.
He shrugged and said, "I don't know."
And then nothing happened.
Unlike last time when they were on the phone, Xu Liang snatched the coffee cup from his hand and blocked it in front of the coffee machine. "And then? You're not in a hurry at all? Do you still want to change it back?"
After three questions in a row, Qi Yu remained calm and took a new coffee cup from the side.
"Would you like a drink?"
Qi Yu didn't respond to her, so Xu Liang simply drank the black coffee he had just received, not leaving a drop for him.
However, she regretted it the moment the coffee entered her throat.
I regret it so much.
A strong bitter taste instantly spread in her mouth, and she even felt that her entire esophagus was filled with bitterness.
His facial features were instantly squeezed together, and Xu Liang couldn't help but bare his teeth, taking in deep breaths of cold air.
"You're such a pervert, it's so hard..."
She forcefully stuffed the cup back into Qi Yu's hands and ran to the bathroom to rinse her mouth.
A few choking coughs mixed with a few "pervert" came out. Xu Liang didn't bear it at all and deliberately let Qi Yu hear it.
When she came out again, she frowned and cursed in front of him again: "Pervert!"
Qi Yu was amused by her, and took a glass of milk to her, explaining: "How can you drink it all in one gulp?"
Xu Liang curled his lips and took the milk unhappily.
She put her hands on her waist and said solemnly: "This is not the point. The point is how we can change it back!"
Logically, she should have packed her luggage and left this morning instead of standing here discussing with him how to drink black coffee.
Qi Yu took a deep breath, pulled out the stool at the dining table, blew on the coffee he had just poured slowly, and took a sip.
After he was satisfied, he replied to Xu Jing: "If you want to change it back, why not think about last night?"
last night……
His words automatically brought Heo Kyung back to the scene in the parking lot.
Imagine and retell at the same time.
"It was raining heavily last night. You went to pick me up. When you came back, you opened the car door for me. Then you fell on me. And then we..."
Before he could finish his words, Xu Liang subconsciously raised his eyes and happened to meet Qi Yu's eyes, and his voice stopped abruptly.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
The following words seemed to be blocked by a stone and could not be uttered for a long time.
She saw that Qi Yu's eyes suddenly became very strange.
It was as if a flame was thrown into those eyes that were always cold and proud. The fire grew bigger and bigger, burning a little hot.
Xu Liang's heart tightened, and he avoided his gaze awkwardly, rolling the milk bottle in his hand around and around.
I started to debate whether to continue.
Speaking out, both she and Qi Yu felt embarrassed.
If they don’t tell me, how can they negotiate to change it back?
After a moment's hesitation, Heo Kyung continued, "Yesterday we...we accidentally kissed, and then I seemed to hear the sound of heavy rain and bells in my dream, and then I completely lost consciousness!"
The sentence seemed to be burning in his mouth as Xu Liang hurriedly spit it out.
She never dared to meet Qi Yu's gaze, her two feet pressed together under the table, her toes curled up.
There was silence at the table for a few seconds, and she could only hear the sound of Qi Yu's breathing.
There was clearly some distance between them, but she felt the heat from Qi Yu all over her body, just like last night...
When Xu Liang thought that he would also start to feel hot, Qi Yu moved the stool closer to her.
"So do you want to try again?"
"Ah?" Xu Liang looked up when he heard that, but he didn't know what he was going to try.
There was still fire in Qi Yu's eyes. He lowered his head and smiled, with a deep arc at the corner of his mouth.
When he looked at her again, there was something different in his eyes.
Xu Liang couldn't understand, but he sensed a hint of crisis.
"Of course... kiss me."
"No!" Xu Liang refused without thinking, his fingers intertwined, his eyes rolling around aimlessly.
"It was raining heavily yesterday... and I heard the sound of bells..."
Compared to a kiss, heavy rain and bells are more convincing.
"Didn't you say it was a dream?" Qi Yu tilted his head, supporting his chin with one hand, with a smile on his face.
“…”
Xu Liang accidentally got stuck and his thoughts were in a mess.
Qi Yu then moved closer, her voice lowered. Even though it was her voice, Xu Jing still felt itchy: "Don't you want to change back? What if kissing really can make us change back?"
“…”
Xu Liang curled his toes tighter, placed his hands on his thighs, clutching the corners of his clothes tightly, and his neck was flushed red.
The words froze on her lips, unable to come out. She only saw Qi Yu getting closer and closer.
Why not give it a try?
If it really comes back, what's the big deal about a kiss?
Just put your lips together and treat it as artificial respiration without opening your mouth.
Qi Yu seemed to have understood her acquiescence. He stretched out his hand and clasped the back of her head tightly with his palm.
The next second, their lips touched again.
Xu Kyung blinked frantically, waiting for his body's reaction and trying his best to ignore the feeling of the kiss.
But her brain seemed to be out of control, frantically releasing wrong signals, causing her heartbeat to get faster and faster.
Half a minute later, there was still no dizziness.
The temperature on his lips was only rising, and Qi Yu seemed to want to take further action. Xu Liang panicked and pushed him away.
"That trick isn't working! I'm not trying anymore!"
She was too anxious to escape, so she quickly ran back to her room, locked the door, and threw herself into the arms of the pink pig.
All the blood in my body was boiling and surging at this moment, rushing through every part of my body. My heartbeat was as strong and rapid as the beating of a drum. The tips of my ears, forehead, hands and feet, no part of me was not hot.
This was a reaction she had never had before.
Xu Liang also kept telling himself: "A normal person would have this reaction. She had never kissed anyone before, so she was so flustered. It had nothing to do with who the person was. They only tried to kiss because they wanted to get back together, so it didn't mean anything."
They just tried a failed method... just tried a failed method...
In the restaurant, Qi Yu held a cup of coffee in one hand and pinched his earlobe with the other, rubbing his thumb back and forth behind the earlobe, making the base of his ear slightly red.
The upturned corners of his mouth were reflected on the surface of the black coffee. He stared at the reflected face again and again, from the forehead to the nose to the lips to the chin, looking at every detail carefully.
Suddenly, he finished the rest of his coffee, stood up again, and with his emotions calmed down a little, he went to knock on Xu Liang's door.
"Heo Kyung."
There was no movement inside.
He knocked a few more times: "Heo Kyung?"
The sound came muffled through the door, and it sounded like she was wrapped in a quilt.
Qi Yu asked her if she wanted to have breakfast, as if nothing had happened.
Xu Liang was already feeling emotional and was about to say he didn't want to eat, but his stomach growled.
“…”
After a brief struggle, Xu Liang propped himself up on the bed and stood up again, patting his cheeks with both hands, trying to change his mood.
Anyway, the person outside the door could come to her for breakfast so calmly, so why should she feel guilty or care?
Xu Liang took a deep breath, because Qi Yu's reaction instantly convinced her. She exhaled freely and responded to the person outside the door: "Eat!"
…
Half an hour later, Qi Yu prepared two bowls of tomato, egg and lily noodles.
Xu Liang knew he could cook, but he had never eaten it.
It looked good, so Xu Kyung took a bite with a small chopstick. The sweet and sour tomato flavor quickly filled her mouth, which was her favorite taste.
As soon as she started eating, she really forgot everything that had just happened and didn't even care about the swap.
Whether he had figured it out or just accepted his fate, Xu Liang said as he ate, "Next time, don't try this kind of probabilistic method so easily. You see, it rained heavily both times. I think it was because of the heavy rain that the geniuses switched places."
Qi Yu paused chewing for a moment, his gaze lingered on her for a moment, and he said nothing.
As his stomach slowly filled up, Heo Kyung's mood also improved. As he buried his head in his meal, the image of waking up this morning suddenly flashed through his mind.
She swallowed the food in her mouth, sat up straight, and kept complaining: "By the way, I woke up in your room this morning. You obviously made your own room look decent, but why is the room I sleep in pink pigs? And all these fancy bright-colored furniture, Mr. Qi, what do you think?"
Seeing Qi Yu raise an eyebrow, she spread her hands calmly and said, "Originally, I was planning to sleep in the two rooms alternately. After all, you'll get tired of them after looking at them for a long time, so I prepared two styles for myself. If Mr. Xu likes my room better, I can give it to you."
His tone in the last sentence was so light and flirtatious that Xu Liang felt that there was something fishy about it.
She simply refused: "No need, I'm not interested in Mr. Qi's room."
When you are under someone's roof, it is enough to have a place to live. If you owe him too many favors, it will be more troublesome to repay them in the future.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Liang's phone rang.
It’s Song Ying.
She had nothing to do at home today, so she bought a lot of vegetables and planned to show off her skills and cook a good meal.
It would be too boring to eat alone, so I specially called them over.
Xu Liang naturally agreed, but she didn't expect Qi Yu to agree so readily.
She thought he would stay home alone and tinker with his electronics.
After breakfast, the two went directly to Song Ying's house to help.
Just as he arrived, Xu Liang suddenly received an email on Qi Yu's mobile phone. It was an email from Liu Zhu about a recent research of Yian, which was related to the development of a project and required Qi Yu's urgent verification and signature. So Qi Yu went to Song Ying's study to handle the work.
Xu Kyung and Song Ying were preparing food in the kitchen.
Alone with Song Ying, Xu Liang naturally vented about last night's grievances: "Last night was so unlucky. There was a rainstorm, the car suddenly had a flat tire, and the phone suddenly died. I wanted to walk back in the pouring rain."
Song Ying smiled and nudged her with her elbow. "Didn't Qi Yu come out to look for you in the pouring rain?"
Song Ying didn't ask much when he reported that he was safe last night, but now that he has the chance, he will naturally not let it go easily.
"How was it? Did you feel like luck had suddenly come to you last night? You see, you were trapped on the road by a rainstorm and couldn't find anyone to help you, but Qi Yu just happened to find you and brought you back." Song Ying analyzed with relish, with excitement shining in his eyes.
But Xu Liang seemed not to be listening. She pouted and could still recall the ups and downs of her mood from last night to this morning.
The movement of washing vegetables with her hands was filled with emotion. She said angrily, "What? You don't know. We both changed back last night, but this morning it turned back to the way it was. I feel sorry for myself!"
Song Ying was stunned, and the excitement in her eyes turned into surprise in an instant, "You two switched back? Then why are you doing it again now..."
Xu Liang sighed helplessly and explained the whole thing to her, but she omitted the fact that they tried to kiss again in exchange this morning.
"You really kissed?!" Song Ying jumped closer to Xu Liang, her voice rising a lot, her surprise was replaced by excitement, and a gossipy smile spread across her face.
Xu Liang subconsciously covered her mouth, put his index finger on his lips and made a "hush" sound, then glanced outside the kitchen. Fortunately, the kitchen door was closed, so no one outside could hear it.
"Can you please not be so loud? It's already awkward, and this isn't a kiss. It's just a way to get back at me."
Hearing this, Song Ying tsk-tsk-tsk-tsk-tsked. She knew Xu Liang was trying to convince her again, so she exposed him directly: "Just kiss, be honest, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
She then asked, "Then why did you switch again?"
Xu Liang shrugged and placed the washed vegetables into a clean basin. "Who knew? I woke up like this. I was planning to pack my bags and come back today, but I was too quick to think."
Song Ying narrowed her eyes and gave Xu Jing some advice while cutting the meat: "Then you can try again. Maybe if you kiss again, it will come back to you."
Song Ying didn't seem to be joking, but he wasn't serious either.
Xu Ying helped her mix the sauce, took a deep breath, and subconsciously retorted: "It's useless to try. Don't you know that this morning..."
Halfway through her words, she realized that she had spoken too quickly, pursed her lips, and had no intention of continuing.
However, Song Ying already understood. He let out a meaningful "Oh" with a long tail, and stopped the knife in his hand. "Looks like something exciting is going to happen this morning?"
Xu Jing had finally gotten over the awkwardness of the morning, but now that it was brought up again, she felt guilty again and continued to retort, "No, no, there's nothing exciting about it. Don't let your imagination run wild, and don't let your words run wild!"
Xu Liang clearly wanted to distract Song Ying, urging her to cut the meat quickly. Song Ying complied with her and didn't ask any further questions, but she already understood most of what was going on.
The kitchen finally became quieter. The two of them had almost finished preparing the dishes and planned to take a break.
Qi Yu also came out of the study, still holding Xu Liang's phone in his hand.
His expression was a little stiff, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly. He walked directly to Xu Liang and handed her the phone: "Someone just called you and sent you a lot of messages."
"Who is it?" Xu Liang took the phone, confused.
Qi Yu was silent for two seconds, then reluctantly uttered three words: "Zhou Qingyue."
"Senior Brother?"
