Chapter 96 Golden Hook Fishing - Ten Loves
When Xu's father was mentioned, Xingmian lowered his eyes to hide his worry, instinctively afraid that his sister would be upset about this.
He said calmly, "I don't care what you give me."
"That's good." She squatted down, engrossed in finding slippers, and muttered to herself, "Luckily, I stocked up on some new toiletries at home beforehand. We really made the right choice coming here tonight. They have bath towels, toothbrushes, and things like that. It's just that they probably don't have pajamas. They planned to buy this house for me to live in alone, so there's only one bed. I only bought my own pajamas..."
Lin Xingmian was relieved when she said there was only one bed.
He changed into the slippers Xu Zhiyu handed him and casually said, "These are all minor issues. If you need anything, I'll have Uncle Yang bring it over."
Xu Zhiyu: "What? Don't bother people in the middle of the night! I have some loose-fitting clothes in larger sizes, you can make do with that. Even though your family pays them a salary, they still need to sleep at night, why bother them?"
The scolded young master Lin looked embarrassed, blinked, and lowered his head: "Okay, I understand, sister."
He knew how to manipulate Xu Zhiyu.
Seeing his expression, Ayu's heart softened, and she silently regretted her words: Had she said he was too heavy? After all, he had always lived like this since childhood, and she couldn't just judge him from her own perspective. Sigh.
After changing their shoes, the two walked into the living room. The central air conditioning was blowing cool air, and the slippers had thin soles. Stepping on the soft carpet made them relax after a long day.
Directly in front of the projector was a huge cream-colored cloud-shaped sofa, flush against the floor with no gaps. At this moment, Ayu sat upright in the left corner of the sofa, while Xingmian sat relaxed in the right corner, one hand supporting her face. There were two empty seats between them.
The girl placed her hands on her knees, her ears burning hot as if they were about to bleed. Xingmian's eyes remained calm, but she didn't know why she was so restless at this moment, feeling as if there was something scorching hot in his gaze.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, not knowing what to say, she suddenly stood up, went upstairs, and said, "I'll get you your pajamas first. The bathroom is downstairs. Do you want to shower first, or should I?"
Lin Xingmian seemed to have considered this issue long ago, and without hesitation said, "You go first."
Xu Zhiyu: "Oh, great. Perfect timing, I need some time to blow-dry my hair after I've washed it."
She specifically said "dry hair," and after saying that, she secretly glanced at the other person, feeling a little expectant.
Lin Xingmian: "Mm."
Okay, my expectations have been dashed.
A few minutes later, Ayu came downstairs carrying two sets of pajamas and a bath towel.
She gave Xingmian a set of dark brown plus-size loungewear and a brand-new bath towel, then took her own pajamas and went into the bathroom. She didn't dare to look up at him the whole time, and the cold air conditioning made her feel hotter and hotter.
Xingmian's eyes, however, easily captured Xu Zhiyu's figure from beginning to end.
His sister went into the bathroom. He stroked the soft fabric of her clothes, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down countless times, his eyes gradually deepening.
Just as the bathroom door closed, he finally couldn't resist closing his eyes and taking a deep sniff of the loungewear.
It smells exactly like my sister.
Like the faint scent of lavender and a hint of bitterness from plant stems and leaves that permeates a summer morning.
This scent is so addictive, you'll never get tired of it.
Xingmian never imagined that one day his loose jeans would feel uncomfortable. He slowly raised his head, looked around the whole house, and his gaze lingered on the sink outside the bathroom.
He got up and washed his face.
After they both finished washing up, Ayu nestled on the cloud sofa with her fruit delivery and watched a movie. She had a hair drying cap on her head. Xingmian had just come out of the bathroom, and the heat inside hadn't dissipated yet. She thought she would go in later to dry her hair.
The girl picked up a piece of red and sweet watermelon flesh with a fork, and took a big bite out of it with a "whoosh".
Xingmian dried her half-dry hair and stood at the bathroom door, her gaze falling on Xu Zhiyu's smooth and shapely legs.
In just a moment, he turned his head away, his throat dry, and said, "Didn't you just say you were sleepy?"
Why is she sitting here watching a movie and eating watermelon after taking a shower?
Ah Yu casually replied, "I'm waiting for you! After you finish using the bathroom, I still need to go in and blow-dry my hair. Do you think a girl's hair dries that quickly?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xingmian's eyes flickered.
To be honest, he didn't really know that.
Because his mother left him a long time ago, he was always taken care of in his daily life and had little contact with other women. He thought that girls' hair would dry by wrapping it in a towel like his sister does now.
Having said that, Xingmian glanced at the pink towel on her head and naturally asked the question that Ayu had been eagerly anticipating but had been disappointed with:
"Can I blow it for you?"
He lacked confidence and was worried about rejection, so he added two more sentences.
"Although I have a nanny, I blow-dry my own hair. I can do it, I learn very quickly, and I will be careful not to hurt you."
The boy's attentive gaze stirred up many indescribable feelings in Xu Zhiyu's heart.
Her cheeks burned, her body tensed up quickly, and her heart pounded in her throat.
Because he was wearing the clothes she had worn, the dark brown color made him look even paler, his wispy hair around his eyebrows and eyelashes was half-dry, and his eyes were misty with the water vapor from the bathroom. He looked at her, swallowing and licking his lips every now and then.
Ah Yu thought, "Is this person very thirsty?"
"Of course, that would be great! I'm such a lazy person, and I hate blow-drying my hair. It's not short, and it takes me forever to do it. If you want to help me, of course I'd be happy to!" She used her words to cover up her shyness, got up, and carried a box of watermelon to Lin Xingmian's side.
"Are you getting hungry seeing me eat watermelon? Why don't you have a slice? There's plenty more."
Lin Xingmian: "I'm greedy."
Ah Yu understood, picked up a piece with her fingers, blushed, and fed it to him.
Lin Xingmian shook her head: "I won't eat."
Xu Zhiyu: "? You're not going to eat?? Then you say you're greedy? You're crazy."
She rolled her eyes at him, then took a bite of the fruit herself. The piece was a bit too big for her mouth to fit, and her right cheek bulged out. As she chewed, juice dripped awkwardly from the corner of her mouth.
Xu Zhiyu covered her mouth in embarrassment, her face showing an awkward expression.
Unexpectedly, her younger brother grabbed her wrist, pulled her hand away, lifted her chin with his fingertips, his eyes glazed over, and kissed the watermelon juice on her chin.
His tongue traced the trail of juice all the way down to the corner of her mouth before finally stopping.
Ah Yu felt a tingling sensation in her chin, as if she had been electrocuted, and her hands and feet went weak.
"Sister." He kissed her lips briefly, then released them, his gaze lingering on her mouth. "I've been holding back all night, why are you still seducing me?"
At this moment, she dared not chew too much.
Xu Zhiyu exclaimed incredulously, "What are you talking about? When did I seduce you??"
"No?" He stroked her lips with one hand. "Then why do I want to devour you so much?"
His voice was deep, his eyes were as dark as stars, and his fingers traced from his cheek to his earlobe, then from his earlobe to his neck, finally landing on his waist.
Ah Yu swallowed the watermelon in her mouth in a hurry, her eyes darting around nervously at the boy in front of her.
"What...what are you saying? I don't understand. Hurry up and dry my hair! I'm so sleepy..."
This person had a pair of clear, bright eyes, was trembling with nervousness, but still made up an excuse that he was very sleepy.
He saw her unease, took a deep breath, and said heavily, "Yes."
The bathroom wasn't very big. Ayu sat on the edge of the bathtub, letting Xingmian do whatever she wanted with her long hair.
She was in a very awkward position because they were facing each other, and even though his loungewear was very loose, she could still see his restraint from this angle.
Ah Yu changed into a dark green spaghetti strap dress, which reached her thighs and was loose and cool.
The girl's fair legs were intertwined between the legs of the person in front of her. Fortunately, Xingmian's pants were long, otherwise such a position would have been quite embarrassing.
But at such a close distance...
She pursed her lips, her ears turned red, and her head felt dizzy and throbbing.
Actually, the most awkward person should be the one drying her hair. In this cramped space, the heat lingered. He tried hard to clear his mind and stop daydreaming, but Lin Xingmian was touching his beloved's hair. She was in his arms, within easy reach of him, within easy reach of him, within easy reach of him to kiss her…
He really is...
Sigh, with such loose pants, they probably won't notice, right?
The way their hair was blown around made them both feel excited and lost in fantasies.
That's how it was at the beginning, but later on, Xingmian focused on drying her sister's hair, while Ayu was already shaking her head and dozing off.
It's true that people who are being served are prone to drowsiness. In addition, she had been busy for a long time today, so she was tired. When her younger brother wasn't around, she could still keep a tight rein on herself. But when her brother suddenly came back, she completely relaxed.
As she played the flute, she opened her arms and hugged his waist, resting her head against his abdomen and closing her eyes to doze off.
She dozed off, calling his name every now and then.
"Mianmian."
Lin Xingmian turned off the hairdryer and gently asked her, "What's wrong?"
"I love you."
He chuckled: "Then remember this well, and don't forget it again."
After a while, she called out again, "Mianmian."
Lin Xingmian: "Hmm?"
Xu Zhiyu: "I love you."
Lin Xingmian: "I know."
...
"Mianmian."
"I'm here, almost there. I'll comb your hair and then you can go to bed."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Do you love me too?
"Yes. I love you so much, a hundred times, ten thousand times, countless times more than you love me..."
As they spoke, he carried her upstairs, and she smiled sleepily in his arms with her eyes closed.
