Chapter 22: Détente
Hey?
The lights in her house were on. It was still bright when she left, and she didn't turn on the lights. My heart suddenly jumped suddenly, as fast as if I would suffocate in the next second. Subconsciously thought of Yu Yang in her mind, she quickly ran over and pushed the door open.
"Coming back?" The person who had disappeared for three days was sitting leisurely on the sofa drinking tea, and she put down the cup when she saw the outer door.
"Bang." With a bang, the vegetable basket fell to the ground with a sound, and the vegetables in the basket were also spilled. Bei Xiaoya opened her mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but her voice seemed to be suppressed, and she couldn't make a sound.
Yu Yang watched the vegetable basket fall to the ground, so he walked over to pick it up and sent it to the kitchen, and when he came out of the kitchen, he saw that Bei Xiaoya was still standing outside the door as if she had lost her soul, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Yang walked in front of her again.
Bei Xiaoya looked up at him suddenly, her cherry-like mouth was slightly pursed, her willow eyebrows were lightly together, there was a clear spring hidden in her eyes, and her facial features were all complaining about her grievances.
When Yu Yang saw her appearance, his heart suddenly twisted together.
"Did anyone bully you?" He raised his hand to wipe tears from her eyes, his fingertips rubbing against her cheeks.
Hearing him ask, Bei Xiaoya felt even more uncomfortable. She took a small step forward, resting her head on his chest, as if a ship floating on the sea had suddenly approached the harbor, and it was so safe that people were reluctant to leave. Yu Yang was stunned by her sudden movements, and after a while, he smiled silently and put his hand on her head and rubbed it comfortingly.
He had only been gone for three days, and this woman had changed from a little tiger to a cat? This change is also too surprising.
The two of them stood outside the door like this, surrounded by a warm atmosphere, and the hearts of the people watching were warm, and no one was willing to break the tranquility.
"Ahem."
Instructor Wang appeared out of place. He had just come back from the team and encountered such a scene, which was really embarrassing.
Bei Xiaoya heard the voice and quickly removed her head from Yu Yang's chest, and ran into the house with a smoke. Yu Yang chuckled softly as she looked at her fleeing back, and then paced in front of Instructor Wang.
Instructor Wang had already taken out a cigarette and was waiting for him, Yu Yang stretched out his hand to take it, and the two men lit the cigarette and stood in the courtyard and smoked.
When a cigarette was almost finished, Instructor Wang said with relief: "Finally, there is no danger." ”
Yu Yang didn't speak, but just spit out a smoke ring, which gradually expanded and finally dissipated under the night sky.
"Is it badly hurt?" Instructor Wang said, his eyes unconsciously looked at Yu Yang's side waist.
Yu Yang also looked sideways, and then replied indifferently, "It's okay." ”
"You have a good rest for the past two days, and I will follow up on the issue of the bereavement of the sacrificed soldiers."
Yu Yang took a heavy puff of cigarette and nodded his head.
Both of them were silent and did not speak, only cigarette butts remained, Yu Yang threw them on the ground and turned home.
After the last mouthful, the instructor Wang also walked towards the door of his house.
Bei Xiaoya had already fried three dishes at this time, all of which were the easiest.
Stir-fried greens, shredded potatoes, tomatoes and eggs, and she also bought a few steamed buns today.
"Come and eat."
Bei Xiaoya saw him enter the house and hurriedly beckoned him to sit down.
Yu Yang stared at the dishes on the table and sat down, "There is progress." He complimented heartily.
She smiled modestly at his compliment, but the lingering anxiety made the smile look a little weak. Yu Yang's heart tightened again, the white and tender face before now looked without a little luster, and there was a dark shadow under the big eyes, and he was about to lose his appearance after not seeing this person for a few days.
"You're skinny again." He picked up an egg and placed it in her bowl, his tone full of pity.
Bei Xiaoya didn't speak, just stared at the new wound on his eyebrows for a while, and then ate the egg he clipped.
The atmosphere in the room fell silent again.
Although the two rarely spoke before, the atmosphere today was particularly strange, as if there was an inexplicable affection lingering around the two, and the temperature in the room had risen a lot.
"How's your work going, and are you happy doing in the propaganda team?" Yu Yang spoke slowly, trying to ease the dry atmosphere in the room.
Bei Xiaoya paused with her hand holding the green vegetables, her mind crossed the events of the past few days, her eyes darkened, and then she replied faintly, "It's okay." In the past two days, you should be able to finish the drawing. With that, he put the greens in his mouth.
After the two of them finished eating, Yu Yang got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Bei Xiaoya reached out and grabbed it, "You sit and rest, I'll come." ”
Yu Yang saw her stacking the dishes together with her hands and feet, sat back on the sofa with the corners of her mouth raised, and followed her figure into the kitchen with her eyes in her eyes.
Bei Xiaoya cleaned the dishes and chopsticks, tidied up the kitchen, and then returned to the sofa and sat down.
"Are you hurt?" Except for the small wound at the end of her eyebrows, she couldn't see it through her clothes.
Yu Yang put his hand on the neckline and jokingly said, "Do you want to check it." As he spoke, he made a gesture to undress.
Bei Xiaoya's face pulled, raised her hand and slapped his arm, got up and went to the bedroom to ignore him. She was also in the mood to joke, thinking that she was not hurt, and her heart relaxed. I can finally take a good shower tonight and get a good night's sleep.
Yu Yang watched her walk into the bedroom, only then did he put away the smile on his face and touched the wound on his side with his backhand, frowning lightly. Last night, I confronted the criminal gang head-on, and unfortunately I was hit by a bullet in the waist, so I just dodged in time, and the bullet missed a little, otherwise my life might have been left behind.
I don't know how many times I have performed the task of dying in my life over the years, and every time I survive, my life is like picking it up. He had already put life and death aside, especially after that incident, his life seemed to be owed to others, and he even thought that it would be easier for him to pay it back earlier. But the moment he was shot last night, he was scared, if he died, what would happen to this woman in the family. Although he left all his savings to her, the thought of her being alone made him panic inexplicably.
In the afternoon, the doctor took out the bullet and rushed back before he could finish the drip. This home seems to have magical powers, and it has been calling him. He himself couldn't help but laugh at himself, it was really useless to be fascinated by a woman like this. But he was willing to do it.
The three days of chasing with the criminal gang made him tired, and at this moment the tense nerves were relaxed, and all the exhaustion came to him, he lay on his back on the sofa, and fell asleep with his head on the pillow.
Bei Xiaoya came out of the shower and saw that he was already asleep with the futon on his pillow, so she went back to the bedroom and took a thin quilt to cover him, and then returned to the bedroom to rest.
At dawn the next day, as soon as Yu Yang opened his eyes, he found the milky white thin quilt on his body, and his heart suddenly warmed. Before he could get up from the sofa, Bei Xiaoya walked out of the bedroom in a panic.
"I'm late, you'll help me feed the sheep." He didn't stop for a moment, and ran out after saying that.
Yu Yang raised his eyes and looked at the pendulum clock, it turned out that it was already a quarter past eight, no wonder he was in such a hurry. After receiving the task she gave him, Yu Yang didn't dare to delay, got up and went to the kitchen to get the vegetable leaves first.
The lamb has gained a lot of weight recently, and the thin one that I just bought is supported by a skeleton, and I can't stand steadily. Yu Yang scratched its round belly and started to be fatty. She herself was haggard like that, and the sheep were not treated harshly at all. However, the lamb didn't seem to like him pulling his belly, and jumped away with a kick on his hind legs.
Yu Yang stood up and lay back on the sofa to close his eyes. This lay down for another few hours, and when I opened my eyes again, it was lunch time. He habitually folded the quilt, then went to the bathroom to wash up briefly and went to the cafeteria.
As soon as he stepped into the cafeteria, he saw Bei Xiaoya wearing a pink plaid shirt, which was very eye-catching in a patch of army green.
