Chapter 4: The Suitors of the Year 10
After about three or five minutes, Jiang Jiujiu's face finally cooled down. A thin layer of sweat was already forming on her back, and she began to try other methods after slowing down.
She first broke free of Wen Shuyan's feet, trying to touch the ground with her lower body, and then she could detach her upper body little by little.
"Finally, it's out......" Jiang Jiujiu crawled on the carpet, sighing at the hard-won fresh air.
"But......" she turned to look at the man on the couch again, "what about this?" โ
With Jiang Jiujiu's strength alone, it was impossible to hug or drag Wen Xuyan back to his room.
But he's going to school tomorrow, so he can't just spend the night on the couch, right?
"If you sleep like this all night, you might catch a cold tomorrow......"
So Jiang Jiujiu found a blanket to cover Wen Xuyan, "There's no way, you can make do with it." โ
Adjusting the air conditioner to a warmer temperature, Jiang Jiujiu went upstairs to wash.
There was a crisp "click" sound from upstairs closing the door, and Wen Xuyan, who was tightly covered by the blanket, gently closed his eyes, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose uncontrollably.
Be in a good mood.
......
The next morning, when Jiang Jiujiu got up, Wen Xuyan had already gone to school.
She glanced at the time sleepily, and knew that Wen Xuyan must be gone, so she went downstairs to collect her blanket.
"I don't know what time the fawn will come back today......"
Jiang Jiujiu walked to the kitchen, wanting to see if there was anything else to eat in the refrigerator, and planned to make do with breakfast.
Before he walked to the refrigerator, Jiang Jiujiu saw a pale yellow note posted on the door of the refrigerator.
Sticky notes on top ...... Seems to have written words?
"Breakfast was in the microwave, hot and ready to eat." There is also a cute smiley face drawn in the lower right corner.
"It's not the word ...... fawn"
That's what Wen said.
Jiang Jiujiu turned on the microwave, and there was a glass of milk and two ham sandwiches in it.
"I don't have to worry about breakfast."
Jiang Jiujiu followed the instructions on the note left by Wen Xuyan, set the time of the microwave oven, and went back to the room to wash.
In the bathroom, Jiang Jiujiu was brushing his teeth.
As she brushed her teeth, her mind kept thinking back to what had happened last night.
โ...... It's weird, didn't he go to bed quite late last night? How do you get up early to prepare breakfast? โ
Thinking that Wen Shuyan was sleepy like that last night, he could even be said to be "unconscious", and he could still get up so early in the morning!
Jiang Jiujiu had to sigh in his heart, "It's good to be young, if I ...... I would never do it."
"Smack!"
โ......โ
Jiang Jiujiu slowly lowered his head and looked at the toothbrush that fell from his hand into the sink.
โ......โ
She seems to ...... Forgot something...... Important Things......
"Sister...... I miss you so much......" Wen Xuyan's words last night suddenly echoed in his ears.
โ๏ผ๏ผ๏ผโ
Jiang Jiujiu was frightened and took a few steps back!
She didn't know why she was backing down, but when she looked up again, she saw the girl in the opposite mirror, her whole face flushed almost like she was dripping blood.
"......" Jiang Jiujiu stared at the girl in the mirror in a daze, her mouth opened and closed again, and she didn't say a single syllable for a long time.
Last night, Wen Xuyan suddenly pressed towards Jiang Jiujiu, and at that time, Jiang Jiujiu's brain didn't have time to react at all, and her attention was suddenly distracted, which caused her to forget such an important sentence.
It wasn't even until the next morning that I suddenly remembered it......
I also scared myself.
From Jiang Jiujiu coming out of the bathroom, to her changing clothes, to when she went downstairs to turn on the microwave, and sat at the dining table in the living room with a ham sandwich, her facial expressions remained in a "sluggish" state.
โ......โ
If it weren't for the fact that Jiang Jiujiu was the only one in the entire villa now, no one would have noticed her expression at this moment, otherwise she might have been scared to call 120.
When the ham sandwich in his hand was no longer steaming, Jiang Jiujiu took a slow bite.
โ...... Sister, I miss you so much......"
"Poofโโ!!!
A mouthful of ham was in his mouth, and Wen Xuyan's words began to be played in a loop in his ears, Jiang Jiujiu couldn't hold back for a while, almost choked himself, and wiped his mouth in an irritable mood.
Staring at the sandwich in her hand, she fell into deep thought again, and slowly lay down on the table, whispering a ......
"Sister? Miss you so much? โ
"Which sister? Sure...... It's not me, is it? โ
"Is it a dream?"
"He must be asleep......"
"But why at this time?"
Jiang Jiujiu sat up suddenly, and slapped the table with a "snap".
โ......โ
"Hey...... What if you have a little gossip? โ
She slowly fell back on her stomach.
"Or ...... Ask the fawn? โ
She sat up again.
"Ahh
She shook her head and fell back on her stomach.
"Why don't you ask in person?"
She sat up.
"No...... How embarrassing is that? And it's not a good beginning, is it? โ
She fell back on her stomach.
โ...... Last night, you said that I fell asleep when you said yes, what do you mean? โ
"No, no, no!"
"Hmm...... Do you remember what you did or said last night? โ
"It seems to be ...... Not quite right? โ
"Ahem, yesterday...... I heard you talk in your sleep, I heard you call my sister all the time, I see that you still seem to be sad to hear, has something happened? โ
"Hmmm......"
"Seems pretty good......
"Okay, let's do it!"
Jiang Jiujiu sat up again, but this time he finally didn't lie back again. Instead, they settled breakfast in two or two and then went out to buy lunch......
......
That night, Wen Xuyan came back from school.
Jiang Jiujiu heard the sound of the door lock being opened, and his whole back straightened instantly, and he sat on the sofa nervously, pretending to be watching TV.
In fact, Wen Xuyan didn't plan to tell Jiang Jiujiu everything, he still wanted her to recall it herself.
Plus...... Now their relationship is actually not close, if you want to talk about the relationship in the past, it was all when I was a child.
After thinking about it, Wen Shuyan felt that it was better to take time in many things.
So when he saw Jiang Jiujiu sitting in the living room watching TV as soon as he entered the door, his footsteps paused slightly.
"I'm back."
Jiang Jiujiu turned his head when he heard the voice, pretending to know that Wen Xuyan was back.
"Ah, you're out of school." After speaking, he picked up his mobile phone and clicked a few, "Strange, it's all here, why hasn't the deer come back?" I don't reply to messages. โ
Wen Xuyan put down his backpack, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the remnants of the snacks around the coffee table, and knew at a glance that Jiang Jiujiu definitely hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Is it to wait for him, or is it to block him?
"Ahem......" Wen Xuyan lowered his head and chuckled for no reason, "Sister...... What do you want to eat tonight? โ
As soon as Jiang Jiujiu heard the word "sister" now, it was as if she had been pressed on a switch, and her entire back instantly tensed.
"IโI'll do it, you can watch it......"
"Okay." Wen Xuyan raised his eyebrows, said no more, and walked straight to the kitchen.
Since Wen Xuyan moved in with Jiang Jiujiu and them, the family's three meals a day can basically be said to be all handed over to him to solve.
But Jiang Jiujiu was not too embarrassed to eat other people's "fruits of labor", and after thinking about it for a while, he still got up and said very gently, thinking that it would be good to give him a hand.
Wen Shuyan opened the refrigerator, and there were some leftover dishes from the previous big purchase.
"Tomatoes, corn, ribs...... And eggs? โ
"Hmm...... Sister, do you like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes? โ
Jiang Jiujiu: "I can do it all." โ
"Then stew a corn rib soup, just one dish and one soup, with meat and vegetables."
The faucet was dripping with water, and Jiang Jiujiu absentmindedly helped Wen Shuyan wash the tomatoes, still hesitating whether to ask him about it.
After struggling for a long time, she said carefully: "...... Lukewarm...... Whispers? โ
"Huh?"
"That's...... Can you tell me about that sister of yours? โ
Wen Xuyan was standing with Jiang Jiujiu's back to processing the ribs, and when he heard her words, the knife in his hand paused slightly, and then continued to process the ribs.
"Why does my sister suddenly want to ask this?"
"Uh...... That, that's it, it's just a little curiosity......" Jiang Jiujiu scratched his face in embarrassment, "If you don't want to say it, we won't be reluctant......"
โ...... Ahem, it's fine. Wen Xu smiled lowly when he heard this, "It's not a secret anyway. "And I've wanted to talk to you for a long time.
"Hmm...... Actually, it's a long story, sister, you...... Would you like to hear it? The last four words, I don't know why, Wen Shuyan asked in a very small voice.
"Of course!" Jiang Jiujiu decisively turned around and looked at Wen Xuyan, "Gossip is such a thing, how can you be less ......" No, her main purpose should be to figure out what last night's "oolong" was!
"Ahem, after all...... After all, I've lived here in Star City for a long time...... I know a lot of the people around. โ
"Didn't you say your sister lives around here? Maybe...... Can I help you find out what happened to that sister? yes, huh? โ
"Well," Wen Xuyan chuckled, and said in a tone that seemed to be talking to himself, "maybe, you can really help me find my 'sister'......"
