Chapter 48: Actors

After carefully observing the steaming hot noodle soup in the bowl, Yuen Long raised his eyes without a trace and looked at Yao Zhixia, who was cleaning up in the living room.

If you want to say that the first impression of this woman is that she has no impression at all.

When he was lying in bed last night, he thought about it for a long time because he couldn't remember what she looked like, and when it came to her appearance, there was nothing impressive, and her facial features seemed to be a little dull.

The only thing he could remember was her voice, not as shrill and aggressive as the screams he hated most, but as warm as a spring breeze, a little slow, but giving people a sense of tenacious strength.

Yuen Long picked up the chopsticks, picked out a few noodles and put them in his mouth, and after tasting them, he couldn't help but take a sip of the soup.

After a while, when Yao Zhixia passed by the table with a rag, he was surprised to see that the bowl in front of Yuen Long was empty.

"Are the noodles okay?"

Yao Zhixia woke up in the morning, she heard the sound of rustling from the kitchen next to the living room, and as soon as she sat up from the sofa, she saw Yuen Long standing on the bench and opening the refrigerator.

She immediately rushed to help him, but the child instinctively waved her arm away.

Yao Zhixia took a step back a little embarrassed, Yuen Long saw her flash of embarrassment, and felt a little unbearable, but after all, he didn't say anything.

He ran around her to the dining table and opened a bag of bread that Xue Rin had bought at the bakery before returning home last night.

Yao Zhixia saw that he had some to eat, so she decided not to bother him anymore, she rummaged through the cabinets in the kitchen, and finally found only a packet of unopened noodles.

After thinking about it, she felt that Xue Rin would definitely not be stingy with this package of noodles, so she took it upon herself to make a hot noodle soup.

Yuen Long had been sitting quietly at the table behind her eating bread, and from time to time he would sneak back to look at her.

"I'm making hot noodle soup, do you want a bowl of it?" Add an egg to you!" Yao Zhixia had already noticed the little guy's movements, and couldn't help but ask.

Yuen Long, who was caught, didn't have time to turn around, so he had to quickly glance away, he didn't answer a word, and turned his body back.

After a while, Yuen Long, who was stuffing a piece of bread in his mouth, suddenly had an extra bowl of noodles in front of him, with an egg on top of the noodles and a few small green rape.

"Try it! If you don't want to eat it, it's okay. Yao Zhixia smiled and ran to the living room.

And now, Yuen Long, who is full of food and drink, faces Yao Zhixia's customer return visits, but he has never given face to adults, but he is rarely shy.

He lowered his eyes, nodded slightly, and got up, trying to escape as quickly as possible from the woman who would make him uncomfortable.

But as soon as he walked a few steps, he saw Xue Rin who was going downstairs with his shoulders pinched and shaking his head, he glanced at his brother who got up later than his child with disdain, and ran to the study at the end of the other side of the living room.

"This stinky boy! No big or small all day long! Don't say hello when you see me!"

Xue Rin looked at the little back in the distance dissatisfied, pinched his somewhat sore neck with his hand, and walked towards the living room.

When he walked into the porch of the living room, he suddenly smelled a smell of rice that he usually didn't smell in the morning, and he looked into the kitchen curiously, only to see Yao Zhixia standing by the sink with his back to him, washing dishes intently.

"Are you awake?"

Yao Zhixia's hand shook, and the freshly washed bowl slipped from his hand into the pool.

"How is it? Did it hurt you?" Seeing this, Xue Rin hurriedly walked around the dining table to Yao Zhixia's side, grabbed her hand and nervously checked back and forth.

"No, it's fine. Yao Zhixia withdrew his hand and hid it behind his back, but his eyes didn't know where to hide.

After making sure that the other party was okay, a smile immediately appeared on Xue Rin's face, and he said with a wicked smile: "Yesterday, I worked hard for you, did you sleep well?"

Yao Zhixia grabbed the rag by the pool, turned around and wiped it around the dining table, "You're welcome, I slept well." ”

Xue Rin smiled with satisfaction, but in the next second, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he turned around to look at the bowl in the sink, and then at the pot with water on the stove.

"Did you cook for that kid?"

"Hmm. Yao Zhixia replied without hesitation.

"What did you do to him?" Xue Rin's tone was a little unpleasant.

"Nothing special, just a bowl of hot noodle soup. Yao Zhixia was puzzled why Xue Rin suddenly made a straight face.

"What about mine?"

Xue Rin picked up the colander and scooped it around in the white soup pot, but found nothing, not even a remnant of noodles.

"Yours?...... I didn't know what time you'd get up, so I'll, just did him. Seeing that Xue Rin's face was getting worse and worse, Yao Zhixia also stumbled.

Xue Rin sighed and threw the colander into the pot casually.

"He's eaten it all?"

Xue Rin was very skeptical that stinky boy would accept Yao Zhixia's love, you know, when this kid was just taken to his house last night, he was the most difficult master Xue Rin had ever seen in his life besides himself.

As if deliberately making things difficult for him, Yuen Long just glanced at the snacks and toys that normal children would like to buy from the supermarket with disdain, and said indifferently: "I never eat chocolate and potato chips, high sugar and salt are not nutritious, and the more I eat, the more stupid I become." ”

Finding that the snack offensive didn't work, Xue Rin immediately found a box of Lego in a table full of snacks, as well as a large remote-controlled four-wheel drive car, and displayed it in front of Yuen Long.

Yuen Long glanced at it attentively this time, but after a while, he still said calmly: "This Lego, I have already built it when I was three years old, this four-wheel drive car is a child's thing, you should give it to someone else!"

Xue Rin, who had never been dug up, felt the frustration of gnashing his teeth for the first time in the face of this five-year-old child who ignored him, and he couldn't wait to beat up the child and send it home immediately.

But he still had the last sanity, and he didn't forget the original intention of bringing this child here, so he swallowed this breath and squeezed out a hypocritical smile: "Okay, then tell my brother what you like to eat and play, and my brother promises to buy it for you." ”

"Well, I don't eat fried, spicy, too sweet, you can do anything else, as for playing, I bring it myself, don't bother you. Yuen Long said as he dragged his schoolbag over and unlocked it for Xue Rin to see.

Xue Rin looked down and saw that there was a thick book in the bulging school bag, and he reached out and pulled it out, which read, "History of Astrophysics".

"Can you understand this?" Xue Rin's eyes widened, pointing to the words on the cover.

"Well, I've read it once, I'm bored on vacation, take a look at it again. Yuen Long replied calmly.

"Hmm. Xue Rin nodded distractedly, unable to believe his ears.

After a moment of stagnation, he came to his senses, straightened his mind again, and asked tentatively: "Yuen Long, as a single young man, I will definitely have a lot of carelessness in taking care of you, if I find you a beautiful and kind young lady to take care of you and play with you, wouldn't it be good?"

Yuen Long put his book back intently, and said without raising his head: "I don't need you to accompany me in the first place, and you still want to make trouble for me?"

"Fart! she's a good woman I'm going to make, and letting her take care of you is already the biggest concession I can make!" Xue Rin began to get impatient, this stinky boy is really good to rely on.

"Oh! You want to rely on me to pick up girls! I said, how could you, a naΓ―ve guy, suddenly be kind enough to take care of me. "Yuen Long originally planned to save some face for Xue Rin, but now it seems that there is no need.

"I ...... I, even if I have other plans, you won't lose anything!" Xue Rin was anxious and decided to have a showdown with this stinky boy.

"Why don't you lose? I could finally get rid of the boring kindergarten life and spend the summer vacation quietly, but now it's better, I still have to spend time and energy dealing with you boring adults, do you say it's annoying?" Yuen Long said without hurry, but the dissatisfaction in his tone was very obvious.

"It's, it's a little annoying, but it'......"

Xue Rin was dumbfounded by these words, this is exactly the same as the situation he was in when he was a child, who would have thought that when he grew up, he would also become a nasty ghost who took advantage of children.

"However, it is not entirely impossible to solve the problem. Yuen Long looked up at Xue Rin with a savior posture.

Xue Rin raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

Yuen Long raised his hand, and a few fingers curled up together, rubbing them around.

"Is this okay?" Xue Rin immediately understood what he meant.

"Why not? Yuen Long replied as a matter of course.

Xue Rin shook his head, thought hard for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence: "How much?"

"One thousand fifteen. "Yuen Long was quick to quote.

"One...... Why do you want all this money as a child?"

Xue Rin couldn't believe that a five-year-old child would dare to ask for a thousand yuan with his mouth open, although his family's economic conditions were very good, he wouldn't be so open-mouthed.

"Fifteen thousand is not much, don't you have to ask for money to buy books, Lego, and models, just that, I still gave you a friendly price. "Yuen Long has long figured out that it is now a seller's market, and his back is very straight.

"That's not going to work, a thousand at most. Xue Rin actually didn't even want to give this thousand, but this stinky boy was a legitimate reason for him to meet Yao Zhixia right now.

"Two thousand!"

"Why are you still raising prices!"

"Who asked you to cooperate without sincerity!"

Xue Rin squinted his eyes and stared resentfully at the dead child in front of him who wanted him to be caught and beaten violently, he closed his eyes helplessly, and said the most humiliating words in his life: "A thousand acceptances will be deals." ”

Yuen Long dragged his bag and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

"Only accept cash, play 1,000 at a time, no more than 1 hour at a time, she can't hug me, can't squeeze my face, and can't touch my hair. ”

Listening to the little ghost's request, Xue Rin crossed his waist angrily, knowing for the first time what it felt like to be self-inflicted.

But Yao Zhixia's answer at this moment surprised Xue Rin, "He ate it all, and he didn't even have soup left, but he didn't expect that he knew that he couldn't waste food at a young age." ”

Xue Rin couldn't agree with Yao Zhixia's "blind" praise at the moment, he pursed his lips disdainfully and changed the topic, "Then what should I do? I also want to eat the hot noodle soup you made!"

Yao Zhixia didn't expect that the noodles that she would only make on weekdays when she was in a hurry would be so sought after today by this big and small one born with a golden spoon.

"Then you wait for me, I'll make you a bowl right now. ”

"Well, then you can also make yourself a bowl, and we will eat together!" Xue Rin's wish was satisfied, and he immediately smiled, and he comforted himself in his heart, and the cheap kid today should be regarded as an extra reward.

"Okay, okay, you know, you go somewhere else, don't delay me cooking. ”

Yao Zhixia saw that Xue Rin, who was still in low spirits last night, was in good condition now, and finally put his mind at ease and pushed Xue Rin out of the kitchen.

Xue Rin proudly walked out of the kitchen, intending to wait for the sofa in the living room, but as soon as he walked to the edge of the sofa, he saw a blanket folded on the sofa, and the cushions on the sofa that were originally staggered were also placed very neatly.

"Where did you sleep last night?" Xue Rin's tone was not very good.

"Sofa. Yao Zhixia was busy looking at the pot, and replied without looking back.

As soon as he heard the word "sofa", Xue Rin, who was originally in a good mood, immediately changed his face and couldn't help cursing in his heart. Xue Rin, you're such a fool!

----

Xue Rin had the opportunity to keep Yao Zhixia by playing scoundrels and lame acting skills last night, but he overestimated his own drinking.

Before Yao Zhixia came, in order to create a miserable situation of his high fever and fever, he was stunned and poured half a bottle of red wine in one go, thinking that this would stimulate Yao Zhixia's desire to protect, but he didn't expect that as soon as he was halfway through the play, he was rushed to sleep by the strength of the wine.

When Yao Zhixia came back with a wet towel, Xue Rin was already asleep, she lightened her steps, leaned over and straightened Xue Rin's reclining body, dragged the pillow and carefully placed it under his head, and covered him with the blanket on the bed, while she slowly sat on the edge of the bed.

She gently wiped Xue Rin's forehead and cheeks with a wet towel, and time turned into a never-ending tunnel, no longer ticking like it used to be.

The room was quiet, Yao Zhixia's heartbeat involuntarily resonated with the sound of Xue Rin's breathing, and in a trance, it seemed that she had returned to the cave with the flickering bonfire, the space without restraint and prejudice.

It's not that she doesn't know her own mind, it's not that she doesn't know Xue Rin's mind, it's just that she's just a mortal after all, she doesn't care what others think of her, but how others think of him, she cares so much.

Now that he has returned to where he should be, whether it is a family or a career, it is not something she is qualified to achieve, he will shine in front of everyone after all, and for her, it is a great blessing to want to spend this life safely.

But Xue Rin's few words tonight made Yao Zhixia suddenly feel her selfishness, avoiding him in every possible way, just to maintain her own self-esteem, but this was too ridiculous for Xue Rin, who had always treated her sincerely.

"Xue Rin, it's me who should say I'm sorry, in the future, I don't want to be a coward. ”

Looking at the sleeping Xue Rin, Yao Zhixia couldn't help but stretch out his hand to soothe his slightly frowning brow.

----

After eating breakfast depressed, Xue Rin was about to get ready to go to work.

Yao Zhixia cleaned up the kitchen, and when she saw Xue Rin walking towards the cloakroom, she wiped her hands and prepared to leave.

"What are you doing, wait for me!"

Xue Rin was putting on his shirt, and when he heard movement at the door, he was so anxious that he ran out before he finished buttoning it.

Yao Zhixia turned around, saw Xue Rin's bare chest, looked away embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "I have to go to work." ”

"I know, we're together, I'll send you there. Xue Rin said as he buttoned it.

"You really don't have to bother, you still have to go to work yourself!"

"The company is in the Qianxiang Building next to the mall, what's the trouble here? Don't go, wait for me here." ”

Xue Rin stepped forward and closed the door, and then wanted to push Yao Zhixia to the sofa and sit honestly.

"But ......"

"But what is it...... Sit down!"

Xue Rin was most annoyed by Yao Zhixia's "but", this disobedient Yao Zhixia could always torture him with different tricks.

"But I'll have to go back and wash and change my clothes, my hair...... ...... with faces," Yao Zhixia awkwardly pointed to her somewhat unkempt hair.

"Oh!

Xue Rin reacted, and immediately brushed Yao Zhixia's hair with his hand, and carefully stroked a small handful of broken hair in front of his forehead to his sideburns.

"Your clothes are not dirty, and your face is clean, what is there to go home!" Xue Rin looked at Yao Zhixia, unable to find anything that dissatisfied him in the slightest.

Yao Zhixia was speechless by Xue Rin's high-pressure policy, so she had to stare at him silently.

When Xue Rin saw that she didn't speak, she knew that she was silently resisting, so she had to say helplessly: "Forget it, you go home first, I'll drive downstairs and wait for you in a while." ”

As soon as Xue Rin finished speaking, he saw Yao Zhixia breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey, you don't want to see me?"

As soon as Yao Zhixia breathed a sigh of relief, he was nervous again by his question, "How can there be! ”

Yao Zhixia's sudden change of attitude made Xue Rin a little suspicious, and he replied angrily: "Go quickly, go quickly! I can watch it downstairs! Don't think about running away by yourself!"

Yao Zhixia nodded with a smile, turned around and ran to the building across the street.
