Chapter 18 Brother Ji, I'm Afraid
Qiao Yanxin sat on the back seat of the bicycle, tightly holding the clothes around Ji Yanli's waist.
The bicycle was not very stable to begin with, and Ji Yanli was riding very fast, so Qiao Yanxin had to lean lightly against his back to steady herself.
Ji Yanli felt a pair of soft hands on his waist. She was right behind him, so close to him!
Ji Yanli felt a strong throbbing in his heart, and a dense feeling of happiness quietly filled his chest.
He accidentally braked slammingly, and Qiao Yanxin fell forward, with his entire chest pressed tightly against his broad and strong back.
A faint, dry smell of soap mixed with a strong scent of male hormones wafted over her face, and Qiao Yanxin's heart began to beat wildly.
She inexplicably felt that he smelled nice, and she put her nose against his back and inhaled.
I sighed silently: Brother Ji is quite clean, there is really no sweat smell at all.
Ji Yanli propped up his long legs on the ground, steadied the bicycle, turned his head and asked, "Did it hurt you?"
Qiao Yanxin saw that his cheeks had turned completely red, even the tips of his ears were pink, and the corners of his fresh, moist lips curved again.
Brother Ji is too thin-skinned. I just touched him, why did his face get so red?
She raised her little hand and pinched Ji Yanli's pink earlobe, smiling cutely: "Brother Ji, why are your ears pink?"
The moment her snow-white little hand touched the tip of Ji Yanli's ear, his head went "boom". An indescribable heat spread through his ear and spread to his limbs, and the blood in his body boiled.
She actually touched him again, didn't she know how soft her hands were?
Didn't she know that her fingertips seemed to have their own electricity, which would set his whole body on fire once they touched him?
Ji Yanli finally suppressed the intense throbbing in his heart and squeezed out a word from his throat: "Hmm."
Qiao Yanxin smiled. Brother Ji is such a smart person, but why does he seem silly sometimes? Inexplicably, he seems well-behaved and cute.
Ji Yanli calmed himself down and tried his best not to think about Qiao Yanxin.
He said, "Sit tight."
"Well, I'm seated."
Ji Yanli pedaled the bicycle again. Qiao Yanxin sat steadily on the back seat, his head tilted back slightly, so that his handsome profile could be seen. His face was still flushed, and the smile on Qiao Yanxin's lips deepened a little.
Back at Qiao Yanxin's small courtyard, Ji Yanli pushed the bicycle into the yard. Qiao Yanxin put down her schoolbag and went into the kitchen.
She was wearing an apron with white floral patterns on it. She poked half of her head out of the kitchen, her pretty face glowing with a sweet and charming glow.
"Brother Ji, do you want rice or noodles?"
It was the first time that Ji Yanli saw her wearing an apron. She felt that this simple floral apron added a touch of gentleness and virtue to her, and she was very charming like this.
My heart felt warm again.
"It will be all right."
Qiao Yanxin blinked her beautiful big eyes and said, "Then let's eat rice, we happen to have meat at home.
I'll make noodles for you next time. ”
Season Banquet: "..."
There will be a next time?
The corners of his delicate mouth curved up, and the smile in his eyes was about to overflow.
"Okay, I'll help you."
He followed her into the kitchen.
Qiao Yanxin picked up a few potatoes, some onions, and a garlic, put them in a small basket, and said, "Brother Ji, can you peel potatoes?"
Ji Yanli nodded, took the basket from her hand, sat on the stone under the apricot tree in the yard and began to peel potatoes, pick onions and peel garlic.
Then, he picked up the basket and started washing it under the faucet.
Qiao Yanxin walked over with two green vegetables in her hands, stretched her hands directly above his hands, and started washing the vegetables under the running water.
"Brother Ji, I'll just wash two vegetables."
Her delicate face was right beside his shoulder, her tender mouth opened and closed gently, and her warm breath lingered around his nose.
Ji Yanli's arm, which was stretched under the faucet, stiffened instantly. Qiao Yanxin's small arm happened to touch his strong and powerful arm. The moment their skin touched, Ji Yanli seemed to be scalded. He suddenly took a big step back and quickly turned his face away.
"You wash first."
After washing the vegetables, Qiao Yanxin went into the house with a smile, leaving Ji Yanli, who was already furious, standing alone in front of the faucet in a daze.
After a while, Qiao Yanxin brought out another small basin of rice to wash, smiling with her eyes curved.
Ji Yanli hurriedly moved away. After Qiao Yanxin finished washing the rice, he quickly scrubbed the potatoes, garlic, and onions. He was so excited that he used so much strength in his hands that he actually crushed all the onion leaves.
"Brother Ji, give me the vegetables once you've washed them."
If you keep rubbing them, the onions will be rubbed into pieces.
Ji Yanli blushed as he handed the small basket to Qiao Yanxin and asked, "What should I do now?"
Qiao Yanxin was very good at cooking and didn't like others to crowd in the kitchen with her, so she said, "If you feel bored, there are extracurricular books in my room. You can go and have a look."
Ji Yanli: "Let me help you light the fire."
"No, go and have a rest, you can wash the pots and dishes later."
Although Ji Yanli was a guest, in Qiao Yan's eyes, he was not an outsider. The women cooked and the men washed the pots and dishes, the distribution was perfect.
Ji Yanli responded, walked into Qiao Yanxin's bedroom with his long legs, picked up a book from the table and flipped through it casually.
He sat on the edge of Qiao Yanxin's little bed, flipping through her book, his mind full of her sweet figure, his heart overflowing with indescribable emotions.
After sitting for a while, he put down the book and walked around the rooms. He felt that the house was too empty and he should buy some new furniture as soon as possible.
There was no clock on the wall, and the little girl's arm was empty without a watch. I wonder how she checked time during the day.
Qiao Yanxin quickly cooked four dishes: a braised pork, a plate of vegetables with garlic, a dish of scrambled eggs with green onions, and a dish of shredded potatoes.
I also cooked a light vegetable soup.
She brought the dishes and soup to the stone table under the apricot tree, and took two bowls of rice out. She stood in the yard and called out, "Brother Ji, it's time to eat."
Ji Yanli came out of the house, glanced at the table full of food, and his eyes lit up instantly.
I admired in my heart: I didn’t expect this little girl to be so capable!
He and Qiao Yanxin sat opposite each other. The person he loved was right in front of him. On the table was the meal she had personally prepared for him. A line of words naturally emerged in Ji Yanli's mind: Two people, three meals, four seasons.
If I could stay with the little girl every day and eat the meals she cooks every day, it would be the greatest happiness in life.
Qiao Yanxin picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into Ji Yanli's bowl. She blinked her big watery eyes and curved her soft red lips into a beautiful arc: "Brother Ji, have a piece of braised pork."
Ji Yanli nodded, picked up a piece of meat and put it into Qiao Yanxin's bowl.
The piece of meat in his bowl was three parts lean and seven parts fat. Ji Yanli had never eaten fatty meat since he was a child.
He picked up the braised pork with chopsticks and ate only the lean half, putting the fat into the bowl.
The braised pork is very flavorful, not too dry or greasy, and cooked to the perfect temperature.
Ji Yanli was generous in his praise, saying: "This meat is really good, even better than the one cooked by the chef at a state-owned restaurant."
Qiao Yanxin was blinking her big eyes like black grapes at him.
"Brother Ji, just eat as long as you like."
She winked at him, then stretched out her chopsticks, picked up half a piece of fat meat from the Ji Yanli bowl, and brought it to her mouth. Her delicate lips gently touched the small piece of braised pork, and she looked at him seductively.
Ji Yanli's face suddenly became hot, as if her lips were touching his thin lips, and the blood in his body was boiling...
Qiao Yanxin smiled sweetly at him, then slowly put the braised pork into her mouth.
Season Banquet: “!!!”
His cold and hard heart began to beat wildly again. The little girl actually ate the meat he had bitten!
She doesn't dislike him!
She doesn't dislike him!
There were already raging storms in his heart, but his face looked calm and composed, as if nothing had happened.
Qiao Yanxin smiled at him and said, "Brother Ji, you don't like eating fatty meat, right?
Then you eat this piece of meat, this is lean meat..."
As he spoke, he picked up another piece of lean meat and put it into Ji Yanli's bowl.
No matter how strong Ji Yanli's heart was, he could hardly bear the continuous gentle attacks from Qiao Yanxin.
It was as if a little deer had entered his chest, jumping up and down non-stop, and the sparks all over his body were almost ignited. In order to hide the enthusiasm in his heart, he had to bury his head and pretend to eat seriously...
After finishing the meal, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead.
After the meal, Qiao Yanxin took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, unceremoniously handed the pot and bowl to Ji Yanli, and went into the house to do her homework.
Although Ji Yanli had a nanny at home and it was not his turn to do housework, washing the pots and dishes was no problem for him. He cleaned up the house in no time, and also wiped the stove and stone table very clean.
After finishing the work, I put on soap and washed my hands and arms carefully twice under the faucet.
At this moment, a spring thunder suddenly rolled over my head, "boom"!
At the same time, a bright flash of lightning crept across the roof.
The originally bright spring sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds.
Qiao Yanxin ran out of the house and said, "Oh, it's going to rain! Brother Ji, come up quickly!"
The rain came suddenly. As we were talking, raindrops as big as beans were already falling down with a crackling sound.
Ji Yanli: "Let me move my bike first."
He rushed into the rain, pushed Qiao Yanxin's bicycle into the doorway of the building, and then quickly ran under the eaves.
Qiao Yan said angrily, "How can you care about your bike at this time? Look, you are soaked."
There were two towels hanging on the rope under the eaves. She took a towel and handed it to Ji Yanli.
"Wipe it off quickly."
As he was speaking, there was suddenly another "boom" sound, and a rolling thunder exploded above his head. At this moment, a dazzling white streak flashed before his eyes, and the lightning was right in front of him.
Qiao Yanxin cried out "Ouch!" and shrank behind Ji Yanli, hugging his arms tightly and said pitifully, "Brother Ji, I'm scared..."
