Chapter 44 Chapter 44 [VIP]
Bai He looked so cute, and Su Xing's itch grew even stronger. He couldn't help but bend down and poke Bai He's face. "Smile."
This sudden request made Bai He completely confused, and he looked at Su Xingye with wide eyes inquiringly.
Su Xing also smiled and repeated, "Just smile."
Although he didn't drink, Su Xing gave Bai He a dazed feeling at this moment, which was completely different from his usual calm and self-possession.
The air suddenly seemed to be covered with glue and became sticky.
Su Xing also coaxed, "Laugh!"
A helpless and light sigh escaped Bai He's lips. Then the corners of Bai He's mouth curled up, his cat-like amber eyes curved, and the dimples hidden in his cheeks were revealed, refreshing and bright.
Su Xing was also satisfied. The small black hole in his heart was finally filled. The person he loved was like the sun in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching. When she smiled, the whole world pales in comparison.
Su Xing's eyes were also burning.
Bai He lowered his head uncomfortably, his long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings in the shadows.
It is undeniable that even if he deliberately forgets and suppresses it, he will still have a special feeling the moment he sees this person.
But Bai He also clearly knew that the gap in time meant that they could never return to their previous intimacy.
Bai He had wanted to make Su Xing a good dinner to nourish him. However, during the application of the medicine, Su Xing had already started yawning non-stop and was in a semi-drowsy state. Bai He could only give him a simple meal and let him sleep on the kang.
Although his body was still clamoring, Su Xing's biological clock woke him up at around five o'clock the next day. After waking up, Su Xing also opened his quilt and naturally rolled into Bai He's bed.
Bai He's sleep has always been very light, and he woke up when Su Xing just moved. He just moved his body, and their hands touched. Slowly and naturally, their fingers intertwined.
They both enjoyed the comfort and intimacy of the moment, keeping their eyes open and moving until their palms began to sweat. Su Xing finally spoke slowly, "All traffic is paralyzed. I can't get back. Would you be willing to take me in?"
Bai He understood the deeper meaning in his words, his breath hitched, and he turned his head away. "Of course I do."
"Just your family?" Bai He's heart tightened and he even forgot to breathe.
"My grandparents passed away three years ago." Su Xing said calmly.
He was a person with very limited kinship. His parents' union stemmed from a quarrel, leaving them with no affection. They divorced shortly after he was born, one settling abroad while the other pursued new relationships. Su Xing, left as a baby, was abandoned to live with his grandparents. Both his grandparents were practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, extremely busy with work and often unable to return home for months at a time. They couldn't even take care of themselves, let alone him. Consequently, he was cared for by a nanny as a child, and as he grew up, he grew up to be independent and wild.
Su Xing has been well-off materially since he was a child, but extremely poor emotionally.
He had seen his parents only a handful of times in his life; they were nothing more than symbols to him. While his grandparents loved him, they prioritized each other and their careers, and it was a rare opportunity for them to spend even thirty days at home out of the 360 days of the year.
Su Xing's lack of emotional connection since childhood also led to his loss of the ability to interact with others. He didn't know how to communicate or interact with others. Throughout kindergarten and elementary school, he was a robot: dull, silent, and gloomy.
After Su Xing started middle school, his grandparents finally realized something was wrong with their grandson and intervened. Although he recovered, Su Xing also lost interest in socializing, believing it was a waste of time.
Su Xing also did not hide his attitude and always appeared aloof. Therefore, no matter how outstanding he was during his student life, both teachers and classmates kept their distance from him.
Until I met the alternative, unrestrained and dazzling Bai He in high school, it was like the meeting of the moon and the sun, or the attraction between the positive and negative poles of a magnet.
Bai He has a contradictory and conflicting sense. He appears to be well-behaved and obedient, but his behavior is unruly. He is obviously unruly and willful, but there is a gloomy and silent feeling in his bones. He will talk back to teachers and fight with classmates, but he will also squat on the ground and take pictures with elementary school students.
He was riddled with problems. Among the neatly groomed students, he stood out like an extra blob of ink on a blank sheet of paper. Su Xing, who suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder, couldn't help but pay a little more attention to him. Initially, it was out of awkwardness, but eventually, his gaze lingered on him more and more.
It wasn't until the two of them started dating that he was attracted, bewitched, and lost his composure.
Su Xingye disdained romance for his first eighteen years, but later in life he experienced deep love, yet struggled to find it. Passionate about science and mathematics, he often applied rational thought, rigorously researching problems, and acquiring data. He discovered that there are things in the world that defy scientific explanation and rational control.
It was around nine o'clock, and until the sky was slightly bright, the two of them got out of bed.
After leaving the kang, my body temperature dropped sharply and every inch of exposed skin felt stinging.
Bai He skillfully lit the brazier and stove, picked up the thermos and poured a cup of hot water for each of them.
When Su Xing picked up the cup to drink water, he remembered something and smiled at Bai He, "I remember you drank a bottle of milk every morning when you were in high school."
When Bai He was in elementary school, his family firmly believed what was advertised on TV as milk being a very good nutritional product. They bought a lot of milk powder and forced the three siblings to drink it every day. At that time, Bai He and Bai Duan were quite resistant to it. Milk tasted bland and had a fishy smell. They preferred to drink sour and sweet drinks.
But after drinking it for a long time, it became a habit. They felt like they were missing something if they didn't drink it for a day. They also truly felt the benefits of drinking milk. For example, Bai He's father and uncle were only about 1.68 meters tall, while he and his cousin Bai Duan were both over 1.8 meters tall.
Bai He was embarrassed, but his expression remained calm as he asked, "There's plenty at home. Do you want some?"
"I'll have a bottle after dinner."
Su Xing was familiar with the layout of Bai He's home after spending some time together. He walked to the storage room next to the kitchen and took out a few frozen tomatoes and eggs. Bai He took out a piece of braised beef and a few flatbreads.
For breakfast, they made two bowls of tomato and egg noodles and two braised pork rolls together.
The slender white noodles are soaked in a red broth, and the golden egg drops scattered throughout the bowl bring a bright and airy feeling to the whole bowl. The color is very tempting, and on a cold day, the human body also craves this kind of warmth.
Bai He picked up a full handful of noodles with his chopsticks and stuffed it directly into his mouth. The sour and sweet taste immediately stimulated his taste buds.
Baihe’s braised pork rolls are all made with semi-finished products but they taste good. The beef is braised very well and juicy when you bite it, and the cucumber neutralizes the taste.
