Silence is the moon tonight, the passing breeze, the distant fireworks in the world, the restless heart of the young man, and the gentle eyes of the little girl.
Yan Mingli turned around, moved his feet to the end of the bed, looked at his worn straw sandals, quickly put them on, and quietly left the bedroom.
Did he dare? No! Was he afraid? He was afraid! His mind was completely confused, and he had no idea how to answer the little girl except to remain silent.
Walking to the small room next door, he picked up a full basin of water and went to the gutter outside the kitchen. He poured the bath water into the gutter and scooped two buckets of water into the wooden basin.
In the dim light, he wiped the wooden basin in circles with a white cloth until it was no longer sticky or dirty, then he scooped up water to clean it again.
He heard the sound of a little girl's footsteps behind him. She stopped beside him and did not move forward. He did not look back and continued to scoop water from the water tank into the wooden basin.
"Brother Li, I really want to, but I'm not in a hurry!" He looked quite scary when he was silent. Mo Yutong didn't even dare to reach out to pull his clothes.
"Mo Zhiqing, you can bring out your clothes to wash." Yan Mingli lowered his eyes and didn't dare to look at her. He picked up a half-basin of water and placed it in the middle of the yard. Then he took out the low square stool from the utility room and placed it next to the wooden basin.
Shouldn't I be so impatient? Instead, I should take it slow and steady as I had thought!
But now that things have come to this, the words have been spoken, the water has been spilled, she can't just pretend that she has lost her memory and said nothing!
Mo Yutong walked into the bedroom with his head down and looked depressed. He picked up the sailor shirt, overalls and underwear that were hanging on the table, walked to the cabinet, unlocked it, and took out a bar of soap.
"Sister, big brother must like you." Yan Mingxue was very anxious. She was afraid that her awkward big brother would make the sister-in-law, whom she had been waiting for so long, feel awkward and lose her.
"Sister, big brother is just..." Yan Mingcheng couldn't figure out what just for a moment, and his clever mind was unable to unlock the love story for the time being.
"I understand. I will take care of your elder brother." While the two children were racking their brains to comfort him, Mo Yutong felt that the little boy's silence was not a big deal at all.
If soft tactics don't work, she'll just use force, pounce on him, kiss him, and run away. She just doesn't know if she'll tear his clothes in the process, just like when she touched his hand.
Oh! Thinking of the clothes that had died of old age, Mo Yutong couldn't help but think of the young man's lean and strong body, and her face immediately turned red and hot.
Mo Yutong, who was full of imagination, changed from being dejected to being full of high spirits and a vigorous fighting spirit that became more courageous as he faced more setbacks.
Yan Mingli, who was carrying a chair and a clay pot out of the utility room, felt his eyebrows jump and he didn't dare to say anything. Could it be that the little girl was going to cause trouble again?
Turning his head away, Yan Mingli deliberately took half a step away from her, fearing that he would be distracted by the little girl if he was not careful.
Mo Yutong didn't care. Instead, she smiled and followed him happily, saying as she walked, "Brother Li, are you embarrassed?"
"No." The boy responded stiffly, and leaned the washboard under the clothesline against a stone some distance away from the gutter.
"Brother Li, then why don't you dare look at me?" Mo Yutong threw all the clothes into the wooden basin, tilted her head and stared at him with fiery eyes.
"No." He still stubbornly didn't look back, but his earlobes were stained with a light pink. Mo Yutong, who was closer, saw it clearly. She immediately stopped rubbing her clothes and sat on the low square stool, holding her chin and looking at him, "Brother Li, but I want to see you."
Her boy was the most handsome boy in the world no matter what. She wanted to throw herself into his arms and hug him tightly, gently rub his neck like in her previous life, and then bite him.
"Mo Zhiqing, what do you like about me?" Yan Mingli finally turned his head, looked at the confused girl with his dark eyes, and asked the doubts in his heart.
It's no wonder he was confused. Anyone who has been struggling in the mud for many years, when seeing the sudden warmth, the first reaction would be relief, then disbelief, and then deep doubt.
I wonder if there is evil hidden in the warmth, and I wonder if there is a darker darkness behind the warmth.
"Hmm?" Mo Yutong was still immersed in the ambiguous relationship in her previous life that made her feel sick just thinking about it, and she didn't come back to her senses for a while.
"Mo Zhiqing, what do you want from me?" Yan Mingli was very nervous after asking this question, just like a prisoner waiting for sentencing, who knew that he would be doomed but still longed to survive.
"I want you." I want your whole body, I want your whole heart, I want your present, and even more I want your future. I want to grow old together and stroll in the sunset. I want to be together forever and hold hands for a lifetime.
"Want me?" Yan Mingli was stunned for a moment, then he understood everything, and the darkness in his eyes seemed even heavier.
Did the little girl have the same idea as those people? Was she attracted to her face or her body?
She also wanted to be with him... Yan Mingli pinched the wet clothes on the washboard and mechanically repeated the scrubbing action.
"Mo Zhiqing, you are still young, you must take care of yourself." The little girl is so delicate, how could she withstand him...
What was he thinking? He pressed his palm hard on the washboard, and the clothes instantly made a crisp tearing sound.
Is there no way I can get along with clothes today? Yan Mingli looked at the clothes that he had torn into two pieces and suddenly felt very discouraged.
"Brother Li, don't be sad, we can just make up for it!" Noticing the boy's obviously drooping shoulders, Mo Yutong didn't bother to delve into the meaning of the previous sentence, and hurriedly took two steps forward and squatted beside him.
"Yeah." Has anyone comforted him at this time before? No!
I still remember how helpless and desperate he felt when his younger brother and sister's clothes were torn by washing for the first time. He took the needle and thread borrowed from his second aunt's house and learned to sew clothes while wiping his tears.
At the beginning, his fingers were full of needle holes, but now he can finally sew them properly.
And now, when he had long lost the right to cry, someone suddenly appeared beside him and gently comforted him.
For a moment, his heart seemed to fall on soft cotton, floating lightly and filled with joy.
He looked back at her, and there was a softness in his eyes that he had not even noticed, which was slowly overflowing in his eyes, easily capturing the little girl's heart.
"Brother Li, I like you." The little girl tentatively stretched out her finger and poked the back of his water-stained hand.
Love at first sight? Dating? Like? Is this girl going to take things step by step? What's the next step?
The hand that was touched by her couldn't help but tremble. Yan Mingli pursed his lips but didn't say anything. The little girl seemed very anxious.
Seeing that he remained silent, Mo Yutong had no choice but to sit back on the low square stool awkwardly, rubbing the clothes intermittently.
After a long while, Yan Mingli pretended to be casual and asked, "When is Mo Zhiqing planning to return to the city?"
"About two years later!" Mo Yutong was inadvertently tested by the young man.
So your love just means that I must stay with you for two years, and then after two years you will leave me without looking back?
I felt uncomfortable in my heart and the atmosphere was temporarily gloomy.
It seems like everything you say is a joke, but how can it become a joke if you don’t care?
