"Just ask."

Li Shuxin knelt on the sofa, lowered her head and pulled her knee-length thin skirt, trying to cover her exposed white and tender thighs.

"Growing up, why do you hate me so much?" Qi Ming asked what he had been confused all along.

People never hate one thing, a person for no reason.

And when did she start, because what things made her look at herself everywhere?

Qi Ming thinks that when he first met Li Shuxin, the other party was still a cold girl with a ponytail. On the first day he came to his house, he occupied his bed, as well as pens and toys. He also warned himself so confidently not to disturb her while she was reading.

For this reason, he was still angry for a while, so the two often quarreled, obviously living under the same roof, but it was like a man and woman with a 38th line at the same table.

When he grew up, Qi Ming summed up the unpleasant things that the two had when they were young as interesting things in their youth. However, this 'stingy' woman is still the same as at the beginning, and she has never given him a good face.

Hearing the boy's inquiry, Li Shuxin was silent for a moment and turned his head: "Are you really willing to listen to the truth?" ”

She looked at the boy with complicated eyes.

"It's your freedom to express whatever you want." Qi Ming said: "I just want to know, since you became a family, have you regarded me as a relative?" ”

He cares about that.

After losing his parents, what he looked forward to most every week was to come home and clean up with this cold-tempered 'sister'.

It is only one day when you can briefly enjoy the time of being accompanied by your only loved one. Even if this 'relative' is not so easy to get along with.

After all, human beings are sensual creatures, social creatures. No one has ever been able to live alone, and even Robinson has always looked forward to returning to England.

Li Shuxin looked at Qi Ming seriously, it seems that he has changed a lot in the four years of college, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of energy and radiant.

Compared with the youth in middle school, now I have grown taller and more handsome.

She withdrew her gaze, brushed the hair on her forehead, and replied with a lowered gaze: "Never, not even friends." ”

"I know..."Qi Ming lowered his head and played with his phone, silent.

"I'm sorry." Li Shuxin bit her lip, wondering if what she had just said was too heavy.

She pondered for a long time, and was ready to say, 'Actually, I think it's good that the two of us have been getting along like this all these years. If you can, keep it up like that. ’

But before she could speak, or a moment of hesitation in her heart, she lost the opportunity to speak, when a sudden phone call was interrupted.

"Hey, hello! Is it Ms. Lee? This is Guangyuan Youth Apartment, are you looking at the house? ”

Li Shuxin lowered her voice, turned her back to the boy, and replied in a low voice: "Yes... Well, there's time tomorrow morning, okay, see you then..."

After she answered the phone, when she turned around, the boy next to her didn't know if he was really sleepy, yawned, and left a sentence of 'I'll sleep first, good night.' So he got up and walked past her, went into the bedroom, and closed the door.

The living room was inevitably quieter with fewer people.

Li Shuxin is not in the mood to watch short videos, she has experienced too many troubles in a day today, and people feel physically and mentally exhausted once they are free.

She folded her hands on her knees, buried her head low, and kept her head down for a long time without speaking, not knowing what she was thinking.

◇

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Shuxin went home after looking at the house and met Qi Ming downstairs who came back from collecting wind.

The two looked at each other and did not say hello.

Last night's conversation made the two invisibly estranged, Qi Ming went upstairs first with his bag on his back, Li Shuxin stared at his back and was silent for a while, and then slowly followed.

Once inside, she glanced at the man who had walked into the bathroom, then bit her lip and turned to enter the bedroom.

When Qi Ming came out of the bathroom, he saw the woman collecting the clothes that dried last night.

"How's the house looking?" He asked casually.

"It's not bad, the move-in contract has been signed in the morning, and you can move in the afternoon." She replied earnestly.

Qi Ming's tone paused, and he continued: "That's it, that's good... By the way, whether you are renting inside or outside the island this time. ”

As the name suggests, the city of Ludao has a total of six urban districts, two of which are located on the bustling island, and the other end of the bridge is outside the island, which consists of four other urban areas and borders the mainland.

"Outside the island, in Jimei District."

Qi Ming frowned imperceptibly, "So far?" I said don't you want to rent a house outside anymore and go home. Anyway, I'm usually at school, and this room is empty. ”

"It's okay, it's easier to live alone."

Li Shuxin didn't say more, continued to use the clothes pole to accept the dried clothes, and then bent down to fold them neatly one by one and put them in the bag.

Because I didn't bring suitcases and backpacks with me yesterday afternoon, I had to carry a change of clothes in a bag.

Fortunately, Qi Ming bought underwear last night, and the bag containing underwear came in handy.

'It's convenient for one person. ’

Hearing this, Qi Ming was silent and didn't say much. Just standing at the door of the bedroom and watching Li Shuxin clean up diligently, before leaving, he went into the kitchen again, and packed up the garbage and prepared to throw it away when he went downstairs.

As a result, when the woman entered the kitchen, she saw a stack of dishes, chopsticks and plates that had not been cleaned after Qi Ming's last meal last night were stacked in the vegetable sink.

Li Shuxin clasped his hands on his chest and glared at the man reproachfully. Then he sighed, rolled up his sleeves, tied his apron, turned on the faucet and began to wash the dishes.

In the spirit of being wet, she wiped the kitchen counter again.

After all this, Li Shuxin took off her apron, wiped the water stains on her hands, and said in a calm tone: "If you live alone and are not diligent, you will not be able to marry a wife in the future..."

Halfway through speaking, Li Shuxin reacted, the appearance of this 'younger brother' shouldn't be so bad that he can't find a girlfriend, right?

She was speechless for a moment, and did not continue to say the rest of the words, but changed her words: "I'll go first." ”

"Stay safe on the road."

Qi Ming noticed that the two were gradually separating, and it was obvious that they were much more polite in tone.

How did it start?

Maybe it was last night!

....

What kind of season is it in late spring and early summer?

For the south, it is a few rains and a change in the weather one day at a time.

It is also possible to experience the four seasons in one day, with just the right amount of sunshine in the morning, hot afternoons, slightly cool dusks, and extremely cold evenings.

Li Shuxin wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, gasped for breath, and finally moved the two large suitcases to the first floor.

Moving is a headache, and although she doesn't like makeup like other girls, she still has all the skincare products she needs.

Looking at the two big suitcases in front of her, these things of hers are already relatively few among girls.

"I knew I wouldn't have moved that far."

She has a cold nature and doesn't have many friends. In addition, today is another working day, she specially took a day off in order to move, even if it was a rest day, she was embarrassed to ask others for help, so she thought about doing her own coolies!

I just arrived at the intersection with my suitcase and was about to call a taxi, and found that it cost more than 70 yuan to take a taxi outside the island!

Li Shuxin decided that she would rather take the subway, spend dozens of minutes more, and make more efforts, rather than take half a day's salary into it.

As soon as she pulled her suitcase and walked towards the subway entrance, a boy's voice came from behind her: "Hey! Are you going in the wrong direction? ”

The familiar voice made her stunned for a moment, and she was particularly surprised when she turned around to see someone coming.

She asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?" ”

Obviously, I just said such an excessive thing to him last night. Moreover, the tone of the two speaks today has also changed significantly.

If the two used to quarrel and quarrel from time to time, they would not be so restrained when they got along with each other. Today, it's more like treating the other party as a guest, and the calm tone between the words is very 'distant'.

"What can you do? Of course, it's to help my sister move. Qi Ming said with a smile.

Li Shuxin looked away, and said with a hard mouth as always: "I can do it myself." ”

"Are you sure? How capable can you be as a girl? I don't even call a cargo puller, so it's hard to want to go on foot with a suitcase? ”

After Qi Ming got out of the taxi, he glanced at the half-person-tall suitcases on the left and right sides of the woman.

Xu was annoyed by the chatter, she was rarely cared for, her mood was extremely complicated, and she didn't know whether she was dissatisfied or really couldn't help the boy's concerned tone, and finally responded: "Why do you like to preach so much!" ”

Qi Ming looked at her unhappy expression, consciously closed his mouth obediently, but his body took the initiative to take the lever from the other party's hand, and ignored the woman's surprised eyes, and put it into the trunk of the taxi parked on the side of the road.

"Hey! I...."

"What are you? Do you want to take the subway to the outside of the island? You're going to be in the eyes of money! Qi Ming saw that the woman's white neck was sweating, and handed over a pack of tissues, "Don't wipe the sweat yet." ”

Li Shuxin took the tissue and didn't respond.

She doesn't feel like a 'sister' anymore, her status changes too suddenly, and she is more like a younger sister who is cared for and worked by her older brother.

After processing the suitcase and covering the trunk, Qi Ming asked again, "Is there anything else you want to bring?" ”

"I also have some tools for cooking my own rice, I was going to come back later..."

"Then let's go in and clean up now, the two of them will be a little faster."

With Qi Ming's help, it was indeed faster to clean up, and the two finally moved into their new home before the sun set.

They cleaned the new residence together, Li Shuxin came in from the balcony with a mop, and saw that the boy had already wiped the table and cabinet, and it was very clean.

He knows he loves cleanliness and likes to look spotless.

After a busy day's work, the two went downstairs to a nearby store to make up for some missing things.

Looking at the well-organized, clean and tidy single room apartment, it is finally done.

Qi Ming lay on the bed and hugged the pillow motionless. He was so tired that he felt like he could sleep until dawn with his eyes closed.

Seeing the boy lying on his bed, still holding his pillow, Li Shuxin wanted to speak and stopped, his eyes unnaturally retracted his gaze, and he usually estimated that he would inevitably be scolded by his head and face.

But.....

Seeing that he has worked so hard to help today, I won't bother with him.

"Hey, don't really sleep like a pig." She suppressed the chaotic thoughts in her heart and said in a calm tone, "You have worked hard for your help today, I invite you out for a meal." ”

Qi Ming was really sleepy, and as soon as he was tired, he ignored the change in the woman's tone, and subconsciously retorted: "No need, just your salary or support yourself." ”

Hearing the boy's words, Li Shuxin's pretty face was slightly cold, originally because of today's slightly higher good impression of him, and because of his words, it dropped an octave!

She sat on the small sofa with her hands on her chest, her heavy chest rising and falling violently with her breathing, trying to calm down.

When her gaze returned to the man lying on the bed, her attitude returned to coldness again, and she gritted her teeth.

What!

It's too contemptuous of people!
