At half past four in the afternoon, the house was finally cleaned.

As soon as he came down from the rooftop and dried the last stack of curtains, Li Shuxin went back to the bedroom with a cold face and prepared to take a change of clothes and prepare to take a shower.

Qi Ming could see that she had run back and forth so many times, and when she was busy, sweat soaked her hair.

opened the wardrobe, and just took out a few sets of old clothes from before, he saw that there was a headband in the cabinet, Li Shuxin subconsciously glanced at the man outside the door.

After graduating from college, she relied on her own abilities to find a job as a comic editor. After making money, I didn't want to stay at home, so I rented a house outside.

It's just that when I see this headband, I still remember when she and Qi Ming went to a tutorial class in high school, when she still had long hair, and the boy sitting in the back row would pull her hair from time to time when she saw her long braids, almost making her cry.

Later, Qi Ming, who was in the same tutoring class, couldn't stand it and fought with the boy.

Although it was the first time she felt that at a critical moment, this nominal brother could also protect herself. But Li Shuxin, who has a strong personality, has never moved his compassion at all, and still looks at him unpleasantly.

Because of the shadow of her biological father, she has not come out so far, thinking that men are inseparable from domestic violence.

Li Shuxin even cut off her long hair, perhaps thinking that that would not happen again.

Touching the familiar headband, Li Shuxin didn't say a word, put it back in the drawer, and then came to the bathroom with a change of clothes.

"Lee... Shu Xin. Qi Ming looked at the woman who came out of the bathroom, her skin was smooth and her hair was wet.

"What's wrong?" The woman asked as she rubbed her hair.

"It's five o'clock, do you want takeout?"

"It's five o'clock?" Li Shuxin was stunned, she quickly wiped her hair, and then looked at the man who was ordering food with her mobile phone, "Forget it, the supermarket downstairs is not far away, I'll go down and buy some ingredients and cook it myself, takeout is expensive and unhealthy." ”

She has always been so frugal, although the salary is not high after graduation, and paying the rent and living expenses is equivalent to losing most of it.

She changed into an off-the-shoulder chiffon skirt, stockings, and summer boots, and was ready to go grocery shopping.

Maybe it's because I just took a hot bath, and my delicate and fair cheeks look white and red without makeup.

"I'll go with you."

The weather in the south is changing, the afternoon is still sunny, when the twilight is four, there are large dark clouds floating over the heron island, and there is a faint thunder in the distance.

The two had just come back from buying ingredients, one was washing dishes, and the other was chopping vegetables and pouring oil into the pot. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the balcony wind blowing on the glass. The sound of the rain began without warning.

Qi Ming hurriedly ran out and closed the glass door of the balcony, looking up at the pouring rain outside, thinking that he might not be able to go back to school tonight.

After turning off the stove, Li Shuxin also hurriedly came out to take a look, her expressionless little face also changed at this time, and she watched in a daze as the bean-sized raindrops drenched the succulent green plants on the balcony.

"Qi Ming, the sheets and quilt covers are still hanging on the rooftop..."

"Let's clean up when the rain stops."

"What if it's blown away?" Li Shuxin's expression was a little reluctant, feeling that he was resolute and resolute today but was busy for a while, "I wanted to clean up quickly today, but I didn't expect it to rain..."

Qi Ming saw the woman's entanglement, sat down on her shoulders, and comforted: "It's okay, there is no one living in this house now, if the sheet is blown off by the wind and dirty, just wash it again tomorrow." ”

This afternoon, the mattress pillowcases and curtains were sent to the rooftop to dry, and if there were a small number, it would be easy to pack. But now there are three or four clotheslines densely dried on the rooftop, and I don't know if I can clean it up after seven or eight runs!

What's more, it's raining, and the weight of the fabric soaked in water is not comparable to the dehydration after spinning off before!

Li Shuxin was silent after hearing this, she always felt that she had caused this situation. Her face was hot, and as soon as she gritted her teeth, she stubbornly pushed open the door, put on her shoes, and rushed to the rooftop.

"Hey! Are you stupid, wait! Qi Ming knew that this woman was stubborn again, so he didn't say anything, so he quickly picked up the umbrella and chased after her.

Li Shuxin didn't look back, braving the heavy rain to hold the soaked sheets and pillowcases, despite the fact that her whole body was drenched like a chicken in soup.

She looked coldly at the man who followed, "You go back, I'll come by myself." ”

"What do you say, you take the umbrella, I'll take it."

It's unreasonable to have a guy watch a girl run around in the rain!

Li Shuxin was silent, with a bead of water on her face, she still stubbornly pulled the sheets off the clotheslines, and then lowered her head and picked them up with difficulty. But the rain-soaked stack of sheets was dead, and she had just lifted it up a little, and she had no strength to fall down.

"I'll get it, you go back quickly."

Qi Ming held the umbrella above the woman's head and asked her to take it. Then he picked up the sheets and walked down the passage on the rooftop.

Seeing that there was no movement behind him, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Don't come with me yet, I've already taken back the rest!" ”

The rain blurred his vision, and Li Shuxin, who originally wanted to go to see the other clotheslines, gritted his teeth, and quickly turned around to keep up with Qi Ming.

After entering the house, Li Shuxin finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a stack of sheets, pillowcases and curtains piled up in the corridor, and then saw the man sitting on the ground panting, her eyebrows lowered.

"Whew, wipe it." She took a towel and handed it to the man.

"Thank you."

Qi Ming turned his head to look at the pretty woman standing aside, the off-the-shoulder chiffon skirt that had just been changed into was already soaked, and the underwear was looming, clinging to the skin, outlining the full chest and waist and abdomen with a proud figure.

He quickly looked away, coughed unnaturally twice, and said, "You can take a hot bath again and change your clothes." ”

Li Shuxin, who was wiping her hair and neck with a towel, didn't notice it at all, just said 'oh' and walked into the bathroom.

◇

When it was Qi Ming's turn to take a shower happily, he returned to the living room and didn't see Li Shuxin, and it happened that there was a "sneeze" from the bedroom.

Qi Ming's expression was indifferent, and he walked to the bedroom door and looked at the woman lying obediently on the bed with a thermometer under her arm.

"Got a cold?" He asked.

"Hmm."

Qi Ming quipped with interest: "What did you tell you in the afternoon?" Just after sweating, don't blow a cool breeze on the tuyere, it's easy to catch a cold. ”

Li Shuxin, who was speechless, turned sideways, pulled the quilt, and said nothing.

However, he still retorted stiffly: "It's not because of the wind, if it weren't for the sudden rain and running to collect the sheets, I wouldn't..."

"Okay, okay, my sister, show me the thermometer."

Knowing that she was at a loss, Li Shuxin didn't say a word, handed the thermometer to Qi Ming, and then pulled the quilt back on, staring at the man expressionlessly.

Qi Ming said while looking at the scale: "It's okay, the body temperature is normal, but you still have to pay attention to keeping warm, otherwise it won't be a simple cold." ”

"Oh." The woman responded faintly.

"I'll give you hot water in the kettle first, and then look for a cold. You wait for a drink, take a break, and take your temperature again. “

The woman made a slight nasal 'um' sound this time.

Qi Ming opened the drawer, rummaged through the items he hadn't taken away before, and continued: "Do you live alone outside like this?" It's just raining and rushing out, and you can't stop it, you have to change your temper, otherwise..."

A certain woman with a cold temperament couldn't bear it anymore, "Qi Ming! You shut up! Why do you like to talk to people so much! I see! ”

After speaking, Li Shuxin angrily lay on the bed again, pulled up the quilt without a sheet to cover his head, and let out a wheezing sound.

The man obviously had no heart or lungs, or deliberately stimulated her, and walked out of the bedroom leisurely, shaking his head and sighing, "People who are a year older than me can't say anything." Obviously I care about you, but I still don't appreciate it, alas~"

As a result, Qi Ming responded to the sound of several pounds on the bed board.

This was followed by a 'bang' of lights off.
