On summer nights, the silence is filled with a bit of liveliness. Cicadas and crickets compete to play music, the wind and grass embrace and dance with each other, and even the bright stars join in the fun, spreading a dazzling Milky Way across the sky.
Mo Yutong, who had laughed enough in the bedroom, raised her eyes, looked at Yan Mingli with longing, and asked softly, "Brother Li, can I have a pair of straw sandals?"
"Okay!" After thinking for less than half a second, Yan Mingli nodded, took out the straw from under the pillow again, sat back on the low square stool, and began to twist the straw rope.
In just over ten minutes, Yan Mingli made another pair of straw sandals and stood up to hand them to her.
"This is the first gift Brother Li gave me. I will keep it well." Mo Yutong took it with joy and couldn't wait to put it on his feet.
"This..." It's not a gift. Yan Mingli wanted to retort, but as the little girl jumped for joy, he swallowed the rest of his words.
"Brother Li, does it look good?" Mo Yutong smiled, hooked his clothes, and put her heels on the ground to let him see.
"Beautiful!" The little girl's feet are petite, round and attractive, like fine porcelain, white, delicate and flawless.
"Brother Li!" The sudden action made Mo Yutong's face flush red, but she was reluctant to let him go. She lowered her eyes and stood on tiptoe happily.
Yan Mingli did not refuse her pull, and like a straight poplar, he let the little girl flutter her feet in joy.
Seeing this, the two little ones quietly left the room, looked up at the sky, and then quietly walked towards the toilet.
"Ouch!" Excessive joy will inevitably lead to sorrow, and being too happy will easily make God jealous.
Mo Yutong stared at the straw sandals with a frown on his face. It seemed that he had used too much force with his feet and scraped the rice stalks hidden in the crevices.
"Mo Zhiqing, did you sprain your ankle?" Yan Mingli anxiously wanted to hold her wrist to help her stand firm, but he was afraid of insulting her, so he could only stand there and dared not move.
"Brother Li, are you concerned about me?" Mo Yutong bent her feet, endured the slight pain, and looked at him intently.
"Mo Zhiqing, can you leave?" Yan Mingli did not answer her question, as if he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.
People always say: When a man pursues a woman, there is a mountain between them; when a woman pursues a man, there is a layer of gauze between them.
He used to not take it seriously, thinking that the men being pursued simply lacked self-control and would fall easily.
Now he finally understood that it was not because he had great self-control in the past, but because those women were so terrible that they never caught his eye, let alone entered his heart.
But the little girl in front of him seemed like a gift from God, easily capturing his heart and stirring up his mind.
"Brother Li, I can do it." Mo Yutong didn't want to embarrass her boy, so she turned around and slowly walked to the bed, then took off her straw sandals and looked at the soles of her feet.
There are some scratches, but nothing too serious. I guess it’s because it’s the first time I wear straw sandals, and my pampered feet can’t adapt and feel resistant.
"Does it hurt?" Looking at the faint red mark on the white and tender sole of the foot, Yan Mingli regretted that he could not make the straw sandals more perfect.
"It's okay, just a minor scratch. Maybe it will be healed by tomorrow morning." Seeing his furrowed brow, Mo Yutong quickly comforted him.
She was really fine. This scratch wasn't even a wound. It was just that she couldn't bear the pain, which made him worried.
"I heard it needs disinfection. I'll go to the village doctor and buy some medicine for you." The girls in the city have delicate skin and tender flesh, unlike their thick skin and flesh. It would be terrible if they got infected.
"Brother Li..." Seeing Yan Mingli approaching, Mo Yutong was a little confused. Even if he wanted to buy medicine, shouldn't he go to the door? Why did he move closer to the bedside?
Could it be that Brother Li wanted to kiss her goodbye?
Once the mind is opened, it is like a wild horse running wild in the wilderness, or like a waterfall plunging three thousand feet and cannot be stopped at all.
Mo Yutong looked at Yan Mingli who was getting closer and closer, her heart beating rhythmically like a drum, thump, thump, thump, as if the whole world had become a long-awaited painting.
Suddenly, Yan Mingli bent down, and his handsome features gradually enlarged in Mo Yutong's pupils. She couldn't help but support the bed with her hands and slowly backed away.
What is the little girl doing? Yan Mingli looked at her with a puzzled look, until the little girl blushed and drooped her eyelids, and then he realized what kind of misunderstanding his behavior had caused the little girl.
Well... he actually just wanted to take the money out of the mud hole under the bed, and then go to the village doctor to get some medicine for the wound. He didn't want to... didn't want to bully the little girl.
"I... don't... think so." Yan Mingli was a little incoherent because of the little girl's reaction. Hot sweat began to seep out of his palms again, and his palms rubbed his thighs uneasily.
"That..." Okay! Mo Yutong's face flushed instantly at the sight of Yan Mingli's nervousness. She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to ascend to heaven right away.
But if both of them are embarrassed, it will really become more and more awkward. Someone has to be thicker-skinned, take the first step, and pretend nothing happened to break the awkwardness.
Mo Yutong, who has more than 40 years of life experience, became the one who caught and beat up the embarrassment.
She pulled up the corners of her mouth, trying to show a slightly awkward yet polite smile, "Brother Li, there are medicines in the cabinet."
"I'll get it." As if relieved, Yan Mingli turned around without hesitation and walked to the cabinet at high speed.
Turning his back to the little girl, he felt alive again and hurriedly opened the cabinet door on the right.
When Yan Mingli saw the dazzling array of things on the top shelf of the cabinet, he was shocked to realize how big the gap was between him and the little girl.
These may be things that he could never afford in his entire life, but the little girl can put them in the cabinet without any care.
"Brother Li, that's the brown glass bottle next to the cotton swab." Mo Yutong thought he didn't know which bottle was the disinfectant, so he said quickly.
"Yeah." Yan Mingli took a cotton swab, picked up the glass bottle, and squatted quietly beside the bed.
He opened the glass bottle, wet a cotton swab, and silently wiped the delicate wound on the little girl's smooth sole.
"Brother Li!" Mo Yutong felt very itchy and couldn't help but curl up her toes and called him in a trembling voice.
The slightly trembling voice was mixed with the little girl's soft smile, which made Yan Mingli's fingertips tremble uncontrollably.
An inexplicable and strange heat surged up in my body, rushing through my blood.
Outside the door, two little men who had just returned from the toilet squatted on the ground helplessly looking at the two people in the room.
"Sister, how about we go to the toilet again?" Yan Mingcheng suggested.
"Brother, I can't poop." Yan Mingxue immediately rejected the suggestion.
"I can't poop either." Yan Mingcheng had to admit the fact.
"Ah!" The two little ones looked at each other in the starlight, and sighed softly with their hands on their faces.
