There is a large supermarket nearby with shelves full of items and an escalator leading to the second floor.

Qi Yao pushed the trolley and said to Xiaoru, "You can put anything you want to buy in the car." ”

Xiaoru didn't dare to buy indiscriminately, she looked at the things on the container and the price, and automatically converted the exchange rate in her heart, compared with the domestic one, the things are not cheap.

She saw the beautifully packaged biscuits, her face was happy, girls are always difficult to refuse these snacks, Xiaoru picked it up and looked at it, and then looked at the price, so she silently put it back.

This price she can't afford to love.

When Xiaoru was in China, her parents usually gave her money to spend, although she didn't spend lavishly, but she didn't hesitate to buy things to reward herself for studying hard.

But now that she is abroad, she has to spend a lot of money to study, and she thinks that her life must be frugal and thrifty, and she can't buy things that shouldn't be bought indiscriminately.

So she just walked around and took a look, and had no intention of buying it.

However, Qi Yao, who was walking behind him, silently put the biscuits that Xiao Ru liked into the trolley, and then he would silently put everything that Xiao Ru looked at a few more times.

Xiaoru took a look around, was curious about everything, and wanted to buy everything she saw.

She tried her best to control her desire to buy, and hurriedly went back to Qi Yao to buy ingredients and hurried home, only to come back and find that Qi Yao's cart had already put a lot of things, she was shocked, "Brother Qi Yao, aren't we here to buy ingredients?" Why are they all snacks? ”

Qi Yao smiled softly, "You can also buy these things!" ”

Xiao Ru noticed that many of the things in the cart were things she had just seen and wanted to buy, but she was too expensive to buy, and looked at Qi Yao in surprise for a while.

Qi Yao took her shoulders and walked towards the fresh food area, "Let's go buy ingredients, how about going upstairs to buy toothpaste, toothbrushes, and towels in a while?" ”

"Okay." Xiao Ru was sweet in her heart, and said with a raised face: "Brother Qi Yao, why are you so good?" ”

Qi Yao's eyes flashed with a smile, "That's fine?" ”

"Well, it's already good."

Qi Yao looked at Xiao Ru's bright eyes and said seriously: "It will be better in the future." ”

Xiaoru couldn't understand the meaning of Qi Yao's words for a while, and after being stunned for a moment, Qi Yao said, "Buy some fruit, what do you want to eat?" ”

"Grapes, kiwi ......"

The two stayed at the supermarket for a long time, bought a lot of things, and then went home.

Qi Yao came back with a bunch of things with both hands, Xiaoru also hugged a lot of things, and Da'an had already put a pool of water in the yard, not to mention how enjoyable it was to swim in it.

Daan came out of the pool in shorts, "What did you buy?" ”

Xiaoru gave Da'an a bottle of Coke, "a lot, a lot of ......"

Da An turned over a piece of bread and came out to nibble, "Sister, the water in the pool is clean, you can go swimming, and you are guaranteed not to be allergic." ”

Xiaoru shook her head into a rattle again, and when she was a child, she would be bold enough to swim in the water, because there was a lifebuoy, but she was not afraid, but now that she is older, she doesn't have the courage.

Da'an was much simpler and rude, pushing Xiaoru into the water, and Xiaoru, who was pushed to the edge of the pool, was so frightened that he shouted for Brother Qi Yao's help.

"Daan, don't scare your sister." Qi Yao rushed over, pulled Xiaoru behind him, and then kicked Da An into the pool.

Da'an, who became a water dog, wiped the water on his face, "You can't be afraid of swimming like this, the next time the water will be." ”

Qi Yao: "I'll teach her in the future, you don't care." ”

Da'an: "You just get used to her, the more you get used to it, the more squeamish you become." ”

Xiao Ru grimaced at him.

Qi Yao took Xiaoru's shoulders and went into the house to cook, his voice was extraordinarily gentle, "How about making curry rice?" ”

"I haven't eaten it, is it delicious?"

"It tastes good, you can taste it later, if it's not delicious, you won't do it next time."

"Mmmm, I'll help you do it, I can wash and chop vegetables."

"Okay!"

Xiao Ru tied an apron in the kitchen, the apron was bought in the supermarket just now, with a cute Mickey Mouse pattern on it, Qi Yao saw that her hair was hanging down, and seemed a little uncomfortable, so he went to her bag to find a head rope to tie her loose hair for her.

For lunch, he had to make curry chicken rice, and Qi Yao bought chicken breasts, onions, potatoes, carrots, green beans, corn kernels, and most importantly, curry cubes at the supermarket.

Xiao Ru had already begun to carefully wash the carrots and corn kernels, then broke off the unclean skin on the surface of the onion, while Qi Yao began to cut the chicken breast.

Da'an swam happily in the pool, came over with a bath towel, and asked if there was anything he needed help with, and Qi Yao asked him to do the surrounding cleaning, such as wiping the table and mopping the floor.

I haven't lived in this villa since I bought it, but before I came, he asked a friend to find a cleaning company to clean it inside and out, and it was clean, but it still needed to be sorted out a little.

Da'an began to make drastic measures to do hygiene.

Xiaoru was cutting the onion, cutting it so much that she burst into tears, Qi Yao couldn't cry or laugh, "I'll cut it." ”

"No, I'm going to cut it myself." Xiao Ru turned her face away and tried to keep her eyes away from the onion.

Qi Yao looked at Xiao Ru's cute little appearance and smiled again and again.

After Da'an finished cleaning, the curry chicken rice prepared by Qi Yao Xiaoru was also served on the table.

The dish was sprinkled with black sesame seeds, and the aroma was so fragrant that Da'an, who had been hungry for a long time, moved his index finger and immediately ate it, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

Qi Yao asked Xiaoru softly, "How does it taste?" ”

"It's delicious." Xiaoru ate very happily, "When I return to China in the future, I will also make it for my family." ”

Qi Yao smiled slightly.

Soon, Daan Xiaoru began to enroll in school and began their study abroad career.

It's a completely new environment.

He felt that he could conquer the world, ambitious, enthusiastic, and packed his bags to meet with the alumni of the undergraduate.

And Xiaoru was nervous in her heart, the first day of school, Qi Yao sent her there.

Probably in such a strange country, with such a warm-hearted brother by her side, Xiaoru added a lot of courage.

She knew that she was sad, scared or wronged, that she had a home to go back to and someone to rely on.

So the moment she stepped into the school gate, she also became calm and full of courage.

After a week of enrollment, Xiaoru also met a lot of Chinese~~ international students, in addition to the mainland, there are also Dagang District or Baodao, all of whom have the same skin color and cultural background, which makes Xiaoru seem less lonely in all white~~ people.

The study of graduate school is not easy at all, Xiaoru began to be busy, and Qi Yao also devoted himself to his work, but he would come to pick her up and go home for dinner whenever he was free.

Under the reminder of her classmate Huo Chuman, Xiaoru also applied for a scholarship from the school.

Although Xiaoru doesn't have to worry about money in life, with the support of her parents, Qi Yao's brother and her uncle's family, she can finish her graduate school without any burden.

But she still wants to reduce their burden through her own efforts.

Qi Yao would go to work every day, and drop her off at school, and when she arrived, she would come to pick her up, and then the two would go to the nearby supermarket to buy ingredients and cook together.

Sometimes Xiaoru gets out of class early, and she will go home early to cook and wait for Qi Yao to come back.

In addition to cooking some Chinese food, she usually learns to cook Western food, and the happiest thing in the day is that Qi Yao's brother eats the food she cooks, and then praises her, she feels extremely satisfied and has a special sense of achievement.

Taking advantage of the fact that the summer has not passed, on the weekend, Qi Yao took Xiaoru to buy swimsuits and prepare to swim in the pool in the backyard of his home.

Xiaoru picked out two more conservative swimsuits in the mall, which were ginger and white flower patterns, and bought a double-strap one-piece, which looked like a dress; The other type of the same type is a split, double-strap top and skirt.

Boys are a little simpler when it comes to swimwear, a pair of shorts.

On a sunny Saturday morning, the sun was just right, Qi Yao had already swam in the pool, he had the habit of swimming, and this kind of exercise in the water could make him comfortable all day long.

Xiaoru grinded, hid behind the door, poked her head out, Qi Yao lay on the wall of the pool, beckoning to her, "Come on!" ”

"Brother Qi Yao, I'm not used to dressing like this......" Xiao Ru said tangled behind the door.

The swimsuit she picked was already the most conservative in the store, and at first glance she was attracted by the beautiful style and pattern, and Qi Yao's brother also said that it looked good, she tried the size in the fitting room, and bought it for a moment when she thought it was suitable.

But it's still very uncomfortable to wear!

Especially under the big sun, it seems that the storm ~~~ is more thoroughly exposed.

Qi Yao looked at the girl's embarrassed appearance, smiled, and went ashore from the water, "There is no one else here!" I'll take a look at ......"

He pulled Xiaoru out from behind the door, "Well, it's beautiful!" ”

She was born with snowy skin, and when she wore such a gorgeous color, she looked extraordinarily bright and vibrant.

Under the sun, the girl's figure is exquisite, long, and long, with slender arms and snow-white legs, Qi Yao's eyes darkened, forced to look away, and diverted his attention: "That, let's do warm-up exercises before entering the water now, and move the shoulder joints first......

Xiao Ru moved her shoulders, and her voice was soft and light, "Is this so?" ”

She used to do warm-up exercises when she was in physical education class!

"Well, swing your arms twenty times in front and back, and then stretch your waist......" Qi Yao couldn't help but smile when he saw that the little girl was wearing slippers and had started a warm-up exercise seriously by the pool.

Xiaoru warmed up as required like a good student, "Okay, what else?" ”

"Do a calf stretch like this, with the forefoot on the edge of the pool and the heel pressed down against the pool, which will effectively avoid cramping in the water......"

"Oh......" Xiaoru turned her back to the pool and learned to do calf stretches.

"Be careful, don't fall down......" Qi Yao reminded him at ease, but as soon as the words were reminded, Xiao Ru, who had no sense of balance, had fallen back uncontrollably, Qi Yao subconsciously reached out to pull her, and as a result, the two fell into the water together, splashing a large splash.

"Ah......h

Xiao Ru was frightened, treating Qi Yao as the only driftwood, and hugged him tightly, for fear that she would drown.

After Qi Yao stabilized his balance, he hugged the soft== soft in his arms, and for a while, he couldn't help coughing and reminded: "Xiaoru, this water level is not deep." ”

The frightened Xiaoru realized that the water level was just below her chest.

Xiao Ru let go of her hand embarrassedly, her face was so red, Qi Yao casually combed her with the hair that was attached to her face, the little girl's face was full of water, her breathing was short, and she was obviously frightened, "Are you frightened?" ”

Xiao Ru turned her back, lowered her head and said unnaturally, "No." ”

"Alright, let's get acquainted with water-based ...... now."

"Brother Qi Yao, I don't want to learn anymore." The little girl said sullenly.

"Why?"

"I feel so stupid that I can't learn." Xiao Ru said angrily.

"How is it possible, it's all in the water anyway, you try, if you really don't like it, you won't try it in the future, okay?" Qi Yao saw that Xiaoru was probably really frightened, so he was timid, so his voice was extremely gentle to comfort her.

Xiao Ru finally nodded and agreed to continue trying.

Qi Yao helped Xiao Ru put on the swimming cap, and then let her walk back and forth in the water by holding the pool wall, and then let her leave the pool wall when Xiao Ru was a little familiar with the water, and then let her leave the pool wall, flatten her arms in the water, maintain her balance and continue walking.

What Qi Yao said, Xiaoru did it obediently and took it seriously.

The girl's white and slender legs are hidden in the water, if -—— -—— appear, Qi Yao's gaze is sometimes annoyed, and in the end he simply doesn't look at it.

When she was almost done, Qi Yao began to teach her to hold her breath in the water......

Familiar with what is going on with breath-holding, Qi Yao continued to teach her to hold her breath and float, this is breath-holding and action together, Xiaoru tried a few times, her body just couldn't float, Qi Yao continued to patiently correct her wrong movements, and held her willow-like waist, "You just have too much tension in your waist, so you will collapse down, and you can't balance in the water, come, relax......"

Xiao Ru's breathing was a little short, so she choked in the water and raised her head to cough.

Qi Yao hurriedly asked her to stand up in the water and patted her on the back, "You can't inhale through your nose in the water, it's easy to choke on water when you inhale, which makes your body more nervous......"

"I don't know!" Xiao Ru coughed so much that her face was red, her face was bitter, and she was very aggrieved.

"It's okay, adjust it, take it easy, practice holding your breath a few more times for a while, and get used to it." Qi Yao gave Xiao Ru Shun a smooth back and let her slowly calm down.

After that, Xiaoru practiced breath-holding a few more times, and Qi Yao let her continue to learn to hold her breath and float.

"Don't push your arms too hard, straighten and straighten, and relax your shoulders, otherwise your legs will sink all at once......"

After studying all morning, Xiaoru gradually found her senses, she had learned to hold her breath and float in the water, and slowly became familiar with the preliminary rules, the little girl had confidence, and the smile on her face increased.

Qi Yao saw that the time was almost up, so he pulled the reluctant Xiaoru ashore, wrapped her in a bath towel, "Rest and rest, and then continue to ...... in the afternoon."

He took off the swimming cap on Xiao Ru's head, wiped her wet hair, his hot and broad chest was right in front of her eyes, and the tip of his nose was full of his smell for a while, Xiao Ru's face suddenly rolled like lava, burning hot, and people were confused, like a soul out of their shells, and their eyes were stupid.

What should I do if I am so shy?

can't be discovered by Qi Yao's brother......

"Xiaoru, let's go take a shower......" the young man's magnetic voice remembered above her head.

"Huh?" Xiao Ru's head rumbled, dumbfounded, did she hear it wrong?

We...... Bathe?
