Chapter 24: She should be good to him too
Su Ruyue was lying on the bed, the room was quiet, and there was no sound outside, and she would start thinking crankily if she couldn't sleep.
Why doesn't Qin Shixuan sleep yet? He said he had something, so late, what could it be?
She got up from the bed, put on her jacket and walked to the outer room, and before she could push the door open, she saw Qin Shixu sitting in the light of the eaves of the porch through the crack in the door, he was sitting on a low stool, bending over and polishing the wooden plank, and there were small hammers and other tools on the side.
At this time, she felt cold as she stood in the room, and he seemed to be unconscious......
There was a "squeak" and the door was pushed open.
The small movement was particularly clear in the silent night, Qin Shixu turned his head and looked at her suspiciously, seeing that she was only wearing a jacket and frowning.
"Something?" As he spoke, he stood up, "Do you want to drink water?" Or do you want a hot water bottle? Tell me, I'll get it for you, and you go back to the house first. ”
Su Ruyue shuddered, shook her head, and her voice was a little soft, "You are busy in the house, how cold it is in the yard in the middle of the night!" ”
Qin Shixu was stunned in place, and for a moment, he wondered if he had heard the wrong words, and when he met her clear eyes, his heart suddenly softened, and a sweet and sour taste appeared in his chest.
It turned out that she was worried about him......
"I'm not cold," after saying these four words, he suddenly felt that this answer was a little too impersonal, and he racked his brains before adding, "I'm not afraid of cold." ”
In fact, it's not that he's not afraid of the cold, the main thing is that he's used to it, when he goes out on a mission, the conditions are even more difficult than this, and he can carry it down, and this cold wind is nothing at the moment.
But he didn't feel the need to talk to Su Ruyue about this...... Inexplicably didn't want her to know this.
Su Ruyue saw that she couldn't persuade him, so she didn't care anymore, lay back on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.
When she opened her eyes again, the light was already shining through the window, and she rubbed her eyes blankly, and suddenly remembered that she was going to the city today, and got up from the bed.
Because she was going back to the city, she deliberately found a new jacket, which was a popular pattern in this era, and she wore it to show off her waist, and she straightened her hair in the mirror, combed her fluffy fishbone braid, and made her face smaller.
Su Ruyue took care of everything, came out of the house, and saw Qin Shixuan standing in front of the well to draw water, with vigorous skills, and leaning against the door frame with a smile to admire.
This waist, this leg, this physical strength...... Tut!
Qin Shixu noticed the gaze behind him, and he didn't want to care, but that gaze seemed to be glued to him.
He had no choice but to turn his head and look back, and the heartbeat in his chest was half a beat faster in an instant.
"Morning!" Su Ruyue stood up straight, she was caught on the spot, she didn't feel embarrassed, she raised her hand and said hello.
It's just that Qin Shixu seemed to be standing in place stupidly, and the whole person was like a stake.
After she washed, the water tank was also full, Qin Shixu entered the house and didn't know what she was doing, she was about to go in to take a look, when she heard Aunt Wang's voice.
"Ruyue, I've already cleaned this bowl, look at your girl, your heart is so fine, I heard Ah Meng say that you made dumplings and specially wrapped some more for me and your Uncle Wang, don't do it next time, how tiring!"
Su Ruyue's heart trembled, she didn't know that Qin Shixu wanted to make a good impression on her in front of the old couple before she said these words!
Obviously, the dumplings were also given to Uncle Wang by him, but the favor was given to her.
Thinking that this man seemed to be taciturn, but he had done a lot of considerate things, Su Ruyue only felt warm in her heart.
She thought, he was good to her, and she had to be good to him.
"By the way, today you and Ah Meng go back to their parents' house, if there are any customs in your city, you remember to remind Ah Meng, what to bring, don't be embarrassed to bring it up, Ah Meng is not a stingy person! Don't be in a hurry to come back, I have told Ah Meng, the three children come to my house for dinner, you can go home and talk to your father and mother with peace of mind, I haven't seen my father and mother for a long time, I must be homesick, and I won't be verbose here! ”
Aunt Wang put down the bowl and left.
When Su Ruyue entered the house, she saw a few things on the table, a bottle of malt cream, a bag of milk powder, two bags of brown sugar and a piece of bacon hanging with a rope.
It just so happened that when Qin Shixu was walking out of the back room, he was still holding two red envelopes folded with red paper in his hands, and when he looked up and saw her, he made a gesture: "For your brother and sister, do you think it is appropriate to pack five yuan for one person?" ”
When Su Ruyue heard this, she stepped forward and snatched the red envelope from his hand, and her tone was very heavy: "In my opinion, one, point, all, no, fit, suitable!" ”
