12. Night Road (1)
Zhong Yi was extremely embarrassed after entering the door, and there was no place in her body that was not dripping, and she hit the clean mahogany floor with a "pop" sound. In a few moments, the small patch around her feet was completely wet.
Xia Linchen didn't care, found the phone, pressed the shortcut key, and dialed a number.
Orange Peel curiously walked over and circled around her a few times, accidentally stepping on a cold drop of water and running away with a meow.
"Cheng Ko, it's me, borrowing a set of women's clothes. What the? What's the size? I don't know...... Come here. ”
Zhong Yi heard this, but still stood cramped, not knowing whether to listen to him or not.
Xia Linchen was half-leaning on the shoe cabinet, with a lazy posture, and in the face of her rubbing, he just raised his hand and beckoned, "Come here." ”
Zhong Yi felt that his attitude towards her was as casual as teasing orange peel, and he was a little frustrated, but he still walked up to him obediently.
Originally, the two of them were standing at the entrance, no more than two meters away, and they liked to walk very slowly, as if they were afraid of more water droplets.
Xia Linchen didn't urge her, until her breathing was clearly audible, and then slowly spoke: "Grab my hand and put it on top of your head, I want to know how tall you are." ”
Cheng Ko's mocking voice came from the other end of the phone: "Stupid, if you want to know your height, ask directly." ”
By the time Xia Linchen reacted, Zhong Yi had already completed his request, and his palm was resting on her soft and smooth hair.
His palms are wide and warm, and he likes to feel the many thin calluses on his fingers.
Zhong Yi turned her head, and there were indeed traces of water on the floor that she had walked all the way to, and there was a puddle of water where she had stood at the beginning.
"Don't move." Xia Linchen pressed his fingers against her hair and turned her head again, but his tone was not impatient.
"I see," he said, confirming his conclusion, into the phone, "two centimeters shorter than you." ”
He added: "Don't bother, come over quickly, I'll leave you the door." ”
Xia Linchen's hand had already left, but Zhong Yi was still immersed in the warm and gentle touch.
Until Xia Linchen spoke again: "Zhongyi, do me a favor and open the door of the entrance." ”
Zhong Yi walked over as he was told, leaving a crack in the door.
The wind outside was still there, and Zhong Yi was unexpectedly poured a mouthful and coughed violently.
Xia Linchen walked quickly, caressed her back with one hand, and helped her gently.
Xia Linchen only turned on a wall lamp, and in the warm yellow light, his face was so good-looking.
She looked down and saw that the edges of his slippers were soaked with water from hers.
Seeing that she didn't cough anymore, Xia Linchen took half a step back, opened a safe and polite distance, and then smiled at her, his eyebrows stretched, and suddenly there seemed to be a breeze blowing, and spring appeared.
There was still a little apology hidden in the smile, and sure enough, he said, "You bear with me a little longer, I can't find a clean towel, I'll talk about it when the people come." ”
Zhong Yi lowered her gaze and answered in a low voice, she could see clearly, Xia Linchen had already detoured to the other side of her without moving his expression just now, helping her block the wind. The pajamas he wore were not thick, and they would certainly not be comfortable at the moment.
He was a gentle man, kind enough to save others at the cost of his own life.
"Ahh
"Xia Linchen, why are you standing at the door and being scary."
The rain was still falling, Cheng Ko came with an umbrella, and she was still holding Su Nian who was clamoring to follow, she was holding an umbrella in one hand, and she could only carry the bag containing clothes with the hand holding the child.
Neither the child nor the bag could get wet, so even if the journey was not far, it was extremely difficult for her to walk.
Finally arrived under the eaves next door, Cheng Ko put away the umbrella, didn't even look at it, and habitually opened the door to go inside.
Who knew that there was a door god at the door, and his nose hit the man's broad and tough back, Cheng Ko's eyes were sour, and he almost threw Su Nian out of his arms.
"Xia Linchen, Xia Linchen, come and pick it up." Cheng Ko handed Su Nian over, left the umbrella in the hallway, changed his shoes and entered the house, and the movements were done together, as familiar as if he had done it thousands of times.
As soon as Cheng Ko looked up and saw the little girl in front of her, the first thing that attracted her attention was the amber pupils, which were particularly bright because of the light color, and seemed to have a streamer flowing.
She was very wolfish and stared at herself blankly, as if she was stunned, and she didn't even blink her eyes.
Cheng Ko was instantly stunned, this girl was wearing a white shirt, faintly revealing the spring light on her chest, fortunately, Xia Linchen couldn't see it, and the jeans on her body, because they were soaked in water, showed a dark blue color, and she was even more white-skinned, and she looked extremely weak, as if she had been bullied by someone.
Tsk, it's miserable.
"Xia Linchen, you play with Niannian first, and I'll take her to change clothes." Cheng Ko didn't say much, directly took Zhong Yi's cold hand and went to the bathroom on the second floor.
She skillfully helped Zhong Yi put hot water and said, "I brought you a set of clothes, it's new, and no one has worn it yet." You take a good shower first, don't catch a cold, and I'll bring you a new towel in a while. The blow dryer is right next to the sink, oh, right there, you see. You're welcome, it's like your own home. ”
Zhong Yi nodded, "Okay, thank you." ”
It happened that the water temperature had been adjusted, Cheng Ko went out for a while, and soon came back with a clean bath towel.
"Then you wash quickly, I'll go downstairs first." Before Cheng Ko withdrew, he paused, took a closer look at Zhongyi, and felt that she was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
The last time Cheng Ko saw Zhongyi, she was only eighteen years old at that time, and she was still a little baby fat and had a small face. After the past few years, her facial features have also grown, her face shape has also changed, and she has become a slim beauty.
So Cheng Ko didn't think of the relationship in front of Xia Linchen's ward four years ago.
Cheng Ko didn't remember Zhongyi, but Zhongyi was deeply impressed by her, it was the only person she had seen since the accident and related to her benefactor.
At that time, Cheng Ko was very haggard, crying and swollen his eyes, and came forward to refuse her instead of Xia Linchen, presumably someone who had a lot to do with him.
Zhong Yi sat on his knees in the not-so-small bathtub and buried his head deeply.
Xia Linchen said that if he could see her, let her make a personal promise.
Frankly speaking, Xia Linchen is very good, and the only flaw is caused by her, so she can't pick it.
She should like Xia Linchen.
She was a little embarrassed, and a little ready to move.
