Chapter 43: Are You Happy All These Years Without Me?

Almost as soon as he got closer, the man on the couch suddenly opened his eyes. Frightened, Lin Xi's raised hand trembled, "Third brother, go up and rest." ”

There are a lot of empty rooms in my grandmother's house, and she and her uncle were a little more lively in the house before they went abroad, and now there are only two elderly people and an aunt living here.

The man's eyes were half-closed, as if he had pressed the pause button, and his eyes stared at her without blinking. His eyes were hot, and Lin Xi's cheeks were hot and uneasy.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Lin Xi thought he hadn't heard, so he lowered his body a little lower, and repeated softly: "Third brother, it's too late now, it will take more than an hour to return to Beijing, grandma said to let you stay first tonight, and I will help you go back to your room to rest." ”

Her voice was much softer than before, the same as when she slowly resumed speaking, not deliberately, but delicate, soft on the tip of people's hearts.

With that, she reached out and grabbed his arm, using a little strength in her hand. But the man below him didn't move.

Feeling that he was a little deliberate, Lin Xi raised his eyes and said coquettishly: "Get up." ”

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Lin Xi couldn't tell if he was pretending for a while, so he could only show a little more patience, coaxing him while helping him.

Two or three minutes later, Lin Xi shook off his hand vigorously, "Qin Yu!" ”

Hearing his name, the man finally moved, his eyelashes raised, and a pair of smiling eyes looked directly at her, looking at her whole person. Lin Xi's expression was stunned for a moment.

The smile was all too familiar to her.

Qin Yu was always a person who did not smile, and it was rare to laugh from the bottom of his heart. The most memorable time for her was when she slowly read out his name with him.

That time he also looked at her and smiled, those affectionate eyes were half-squinted, the bottom of his eyes was as bright as stars, and she was the only one in his eyes, giving people the illusion that he was looking at his beloved.

Even now, Lin Xi can't bear the lethality brought by this laugh. The heart was pounding, and the limbs that had long been numb seemed to have been injected with fresh blood, and they were so shocked by the heartbeat that they couldn't stop trembling.

Just like at the beginning, the girl's mind is like a weed, growing wildly on a barren summer night. In front of her was a wildfire that could burn the prairie at any time, and she knew it was dangerous, but she still wanted to get closer......

The hand hanging on one side was gently hooked into his palm by his warm fingers, and the weak and boneless little hand was rubbed repeatedly by him in his hand, as if he was playing with some rare treasure, and the fingertips left his own temperature on her knuckles and the back of her hand.

The skin touched by him was fine and densely itchy, and Lin Xi was deeply trapped in his deep eyes, unable to extricate himself. The fingers he was playing with curled up uncontrollably, grabbing his hand very lightly.

For a moment, I couldn't tell if I wanted to shake his hand back, or if I wanted to stop something.

He still felt her response, and the rubbing action stopped, tilted his head slightly, and looked at her with some puzzlement.

His heart was beating wildly, and Lin Xi's breathing began to be confused when he saw it.

Grandma and grandfather were arguing in the kitchen while cooking decanting soup, and when she heard the voice, she shook Qin Yu's hand hard.

Instead of the careful touch just now, it is a firm grip and the temperature of your hot and humid palm.

The man's long eyelashes trembled violently, and he, who had always been moody, raised his head in some astonishment.

It's just that when he looked over again, Lin Xi's face was calm, and he grabbed his hand and wanted to pull him up, "It's time to go upstairs, if you don't get up, I won't care about you." ”

These words are like a basin of cold water, directly extinguishing the fire that has just been ignited.

Qin Yu's figure shook when he stood up, and Lin Xi hurriedly reached out and put his hand on his back, "You lean on me." ”

"Hmm." The man was not polite to her, the tall figure pressed down, and unloaded most of his strength to lean on this thin little seedling.

Lin Xi twisted his eyebrows and helped him go upstairs.

Fortunately, he was quite cooperative this time, except that he walked slowly, and it was not as difficult as he imagined.

The stairs in my grandmother's house are a bit long.

Lin Xi was afraid of falling, so he commanded him as he walked. He was already close, and as he lifted his feet up the steps, his head moved slightly almost against her cheek. Close enough that even his somewhat scrambled breathing could be clearly heard, and the hot smell of wine sprayed on the side of her face and neck between breaths.

In the past few minutes of going upstairs, the crimson on Lin Xi's cheeks has spread to her neck and ears, and it is even more torturous for her than just now.

Qin Yu lowered her head and swept it casually, and her skin was so tender that it was white and red.

Especially the earlobes that are so red that they are about to drip blood, which makes people want to bite on them and grind them repeatedly.

Finally brought someone into the guest room, Lin Xi helped him sit down on the edge of the bed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

She put one hand on her waist and looked at him: "You wait a while, I'll go down and serve you sobering soup." ”

The aunt at home went back to work on housework after cooking dinner, and she couldn't trouble her grandparents to serve Qin Yu so late, so this unlucky errand fell on her.

"Xixi."

Almost as soon as she turned her back, Qin Yu suddenly stopped her.

The voice soaked in alcohol's rebuttal, slightly hoarse and magnetic, teased people's blood boiling. It's like the glass of orange soda with ice cubes she drank at night, bubbling with cold air, constantly churning up with small bubbles, accompanied by a slight astringency in the mouth, and the bursting bubbles made her throat itch, sour and sweet.

The ghost envoy turned around, and Lin Xi looked back at him expressionlessly, "What did you call me for?" ”

Qin Yu was still smiling, and his hand wearing an agarwood bracelet slowly patted the position next to him, "Sit with me for a while." ”

“……”

After a stalemate like this for two minutes, Lin Xi sat down on the edge of the bed, two fists away from him.

As soon as she sat down, she regretted it, staring blankly at the window on one side.

It was late at night, and the house was quiet. And outside the window, the bright moon climbed up the treetops, and the moon shadow swayed. The old locust trees in the yard rustled in the evening breeze. There are hardly any stars in Beijing and Linshi, and when you look up, the night sky is dark and depressing.

"Are you happy?"

"What?" The person next to her suddenly spoke to her, Lin Xi was stunned and turned his head.

"Are you happy abroad?"

"What is this for?"

"Are you happy?" He was so obsessed with the question that he kept repeating it without getting an answer. After a while, he smiled frustratedly: "Leave me, Xixi has been happy all these years." ”

At this moment, Lin Xi finally determined that Qin Yu was really drunk.

He doesn't do that when he's sober. It won't be this attitude, it won't ask this kind of question, and it won't look at her with such slimy eyes, calling Xixi.

She raised her head, didn't think about it, and replied perfunctorily: "Yes, happy, of course happy." ”
