Pink pajamas
"Master, why are you standing there? Come in quickly." The nanny pulled Tao Xingye to close the door. The heating in the living room was too strong and he was a little at a loss. He instinctively took off his coat to relieve his tension.
He Fan looked at him with a smile. This kind of overly explicit love was too easy to make people embarrassed.
Tao Xingye suppressed his excitement and didn't let himself run over. He sat opposite his mother with a normal expression, "Mom, why are you back?"
Tao Xinghai curled his lips, smiled too ostentatiously and moved closer to He Fan, "My brother is back now, can we go eat?"
At the dinner table, Tao Xingye finally calmed down. His mother had taken Tao Xinghai abroad and had been gone for twelve years without returning once.
Even though they share the same blood, he still doesn't know how to get along with He Fan.
He hesitated for a long time and was about to put a piece of fish into He Fan's bowl when Tao Xinghai took the initiative and put a piece of broccoli in it.
"Mom, your favorite broccoli."
No one noticed that Tao Xingye had taken back his chopsticks. He put the fish into his bowl in a sullen manner.
He said that he had seen Tao Xinghai's kindness before, but he did not leave hastily like before, but sat patiently opposite him.
"Dad, you don't know, I'm so busy every day abroad. Luckily I can come back and rest for a few days on New Year's Day. You have to beg my mom for mercy." Tao Xinghai stood up and ran to Tao Xingguo.
Tao Xingye looked at his father. The man had a kind face and obviously had no intention of scolding Tao Xinghai. Sit back.
He couldn't help but tighten his grip on his chopsticks. He didn't care. He just liked Tao Xinghai a little more. He wasn't a child, so he didn't need others to be nice to him.
A pair of chopsticks suddenly appeared and put a piece of fish into his bowl.
Tao Xingye paused for breath and looked up. He Fan smiled and said, "Xingye, do you like fish? Then you should eat more."
A rare joy spread in Tao Xingye's heart. His mother could actually see that he liked to eat fish!
"Mom has neglected you over the years..." He Fan said with a look of self-blame.
"No." Tao Xingye said briefly, not knowing how to comfort his mother. "I don't care about any of this."
Tao Xingye also laughed, and happened to meet Tao Xinghai's playful eyes.
He felt vaguely uneasy, as Tao Xingye was very familiar with the look in his brother's eyes.
That was the look one gets when someone knows something is hidden and treats others like fools. He had always looked at others like that before, but today was the first time he was looked at like that.
What was being hidden from him?
"Xingye," He Fan reached out and held Tao Xingye's hand, "Your brother will stay in China from now on. Mom has treated you unfairly before, but as the older brother, you will take good care of him, right?"
Tao Xingye froze, suppressing the urge to ask back. Beside him, Tao Xinghai was smiling brightly.
Tao Xingguo sipped the white wine and wanted to pour a glass for He Fan.
He Fan tried to refuse, and Tao Xinghai also went up to make trouble, and the three of them were talking and laughing together.
Tao Xingye looked at the fish in his bowl and suddenly felt like an outsider.
No one noticed him leaving. Tao Xingye walked into the snow without even wearing a down jacket.
With a fire burning in his heart, his steps became faster and faster, and in the end he was running.
A driver almost hit him at the corner, so he rolled down his window and started cursing.
However, after a few words, he noticed that he was not in a good state and quickly got out of the car, "Little brother, are you okay? You don't even wear a coat when it's snowing."
"Are you still running away?" Tao Xingye searched through all his pockets for the remaining two hundred yuan in cash. "Go to Linjia Town."
The taxi finally took him to the outskirts of Linjia Town. "The roads inside the town are too bad, and the snow is so heavy. I'm worried I won't be able to drive out later."
The driver apologized and wanted to return the extra money to him, but Tao Xingye didn't say anything, just got up and walked into the snow.
The roads leading into the town were covered with snow, and a dim street lamp stood listlessly by the roadside.
It was two o'clock in the morning when Lin Yu was woken up by the knocking on the door. There were always drunk people on the street.
She didn't dare to make a sound. She tiptoed to the window in her cotton coat and looked down.
Downstairs, half of the man's body was hidden by the eaves, with only his black trouser legs exposed.
It could be seen that it was a young man. Lin Yu was so scared that he kept thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
The door downstairs is strong, and he shouldn't be able to get in even if he tries to force his way in for a while.
There are three doors on the upper floor, and the room she lives in has been specially concealed. Even if he breaks in, he should not be able to find where she is.
Lin Yu was breathing heavily, his eyes wide open as he leaned against the window and watched the man's every move.
The man took pictures for a while and then seemed tired. He turned around and sat on the ground, revealing a little more of his body.
The figure was indescribably familiar, and Lin Yu felt as if he had seen it in his memory.
She bravely pushed open the window grille and looked out.
Under the eaves, the boy's hair was wet by the snow and hung limply on his forehead. His exposed skin was red from the cold and he was shaking all over.
"Tao Xingye?"
Tao Xingye looked up in the direction of the voice and met Lin Yu's gaze.
"I'm freezing to death."
She didn't know if Lin Yu was still asleep, but she could actually hear a hint of crying in her voice.
How is this possible? How could Tao Xingye cry?
He ran downstairs and pulled Tao Xingye into the house. His condition was worse than Lin Yu thought.
"Why are your clothes all wet?" Lin Yu quickly took off her cotton coat and put it on him, "Come upstairs with me."
At that time, Linjia Town did not have heating, and most families were reluctant to turn on the air conditioner in winter. They just added a heating lamp in the bedroom.
Tao Xingye followed Lin Yu upstairs, and after several turns, he finally entered Lin Yu's bedroom through a row of cabinets.
He had never seen such a small bedroom. With a bed and a table in it, there was no room for legs.
There was a lamp on the table, it was very yellow and still emitting warmth.
"You sit in front of the heating lamp and warm yourself up first." Lin Yu pulled out a box from under the bed and rummaged through it for a long time before finding a set of clothes that Tao Xingye could wear.
"Here, change first, I'll go boil some water." Lin Yu put the clothes on the bed and left, closing the window.
Tao Xingye looked at the two pink clothes, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
Lin Yu was squatting in the kitchen boiling water when Tao Xingye walked in.
His complexion has improved a little and is not as dark and blue.
"Don't worry, the water will be ready soon." Lin Yu looked at the pot of water on the ground. Afraid that Tao Xingye would spill it due to his clumsy hands, he had to find a stool for him to sit on.
She was so sleepy that she kept yawning, but there was no sign of annoyance on her face.
Tao Xingye sat aside, looking at Lin Yu, and his heart gradually warmed up.
No one had ever taken care of him like this before. Although Lin Yu's home was so simple that it didn't even have an electric blanket, he was taken care of very well by Lin Yu.
She boiled water for Tao Xingye to soak his feet, blew his hair, and made ginger soup for him, without asking a single question from beginning to end.
He was wearing Lin Yu's clothes and lying on the floor.
Lin Yu put a lot of things under him and pointed the only heating lamp at him.
He felt warm all over.
The old quilt was very heavy, and pressing on him actually gave him a sense of security.
So this is my friend. Tao Xingye couldn't help but look up at Lin Yu lying on the bed.
She was sleeping soundly, with the quilt covering most of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the watery moonlight shining through the curtains made her skin look snow-white.
Tao Xingye was stunned, and his hand touched her eyes as if possessed by some strange force.
The girl frowned, but soon relaxed her guard and rubbed his fingers.
"Like a kitten." Tao Xingye couldn't help but touch Lin Yu's hair and lay back on the bed.
No wonder the little white cat likes her, she really looks like the cat he owns.
Maybe it was because he had been walking for too long, but he wasn't sleepy at all. Instead, he was surprisingly excited.
The curtains reflected the shadow of snow, and the heavy snow falling on the ground made a sound, very light, which could only be heard in such a quiet night.
The next day, when Lin Yu woke up, he was shocked to see the person on the ground. He was stunned for a moment before he reacted.
Tao Xingye was woken up and twisted into a knot in his quilt in a bad mood. He howled for a long time before kicking off the quilt and sitting up.
His hair was banged into a mess, standing up like skyrocket, and he was wearing her pink dress. Except for the cartoon pattern on the chest which didn't suit his temperament, everything else was surprisingly suitable for him.
It really is a clothes rack.
"Are you charmed by me?" Tao Xingye lay back on the floor with the quilt as his pillow, looking confident.
If he told others, who would believe that Tao Xingye would sleep on the floor?
But this was paved for him by Lin Yu. Which friend of his could have such treatment?
"Hey, have you written to me again?"
"Of course there aren't any!" Lin Yu said as he crawled to the end of the bed, opened the drawer of the table next to him, and threw a stack of letters onto the bed. He looked confident and said, "Just count them, there's not a single one missing."
She really still considers herself a friend.
"I'm hungry, go cook for me." Tao Xingye turned around and raised his hand to secretly wipe away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.
Lin Yu was speechless. What a young master. He tormented her all night without a word of thanks, and now he ordered her to cook.
"Master, would you like some frozen dumplings for breakfast? They're all we have at home."
"..." Tao Xingye sat up, "I want to drink porridge."
It takes a long time to drink porridge! Lin Yu quickly refused, "Wait a minute before drinking it." After breakfast, go back to your own home and cook it.
Lin Yu ran to the kitchen wearing a cotton coat. The snow had stopped long ago and only a thick layer of snow remained outside the window, making the small house particularly warm.
Tao Xingye looked at Lin Yu busy in the kitchen, and then she realized that she seemed to be the only one at home.
Her house wasn't decorated, just a floor. There was a table in the middle that served as the dining table and living room, and to the side was a room and Lin Yu's bedroom.
However, the door of Lin Yu's room was disguised behind a cabinet. It was really hard for her to come up with such a hidden method.
Her house is very tidy because there are few things in it.
When Lin Yu came out with two plates of dumplings, she saw Tao Xingye looking around her house with a confused look on his face.
"Young Master, stop looking and come and have dinner." Lin Yu wanted to kick him away. He looked so pitiful last night, and after being fully revived one night, he became this disdainful look that looked down on everything.
"Lin Xiaomai, is this the only shabby place you live in?"
