Chapter 38: Didn't You Think of Me as Family?
The sudden question made the atmosphere in the whole room ambiguous.
The man seemed to be running away, dropped a word of thirst, turned around and ran, walking in a hurry, less calm than usual, and more messy.
Su Ruyue, who was holding the warm water bag tightly in her arms, glanced at the man's back, blinked, and only felt that this person was a little strange tonight, but she didn't think much about it, and soon fell asleep again.
Qin Shixuan, who "escaped" to pour water and drink, his whole heart was beating, he stood at the door and hesitated for a while, then turned around and went to the yard, fished out the unfinished water basin from the corner, and continued to be busy.
By the time he returned to the house again, Su Ruyue had already fallen asleep, revealing a delicate little face, and Qin Shixu stood in front of the bed and looked at it several times before tiptoeing onto the bed.
The moment he lay down, the faint fragrance of the girl next to him penetrated into his nose, making his flexible body instantly stiffen, lying motionless, and even deliberately lightening his breathing.
The cold air in the night became stronger and stronger, and in the second half of the night, the warm water bag was gradually getting cold, Su Ruyue slept in a daze, noticed that she was uncomfortable, let go of the hot water bottle in her arms, and turned around like an octopus and wrapped it tightly around Qin Shixu, who was like a stove beside her.
The man was not used to lying in the same bed with others, and he didn't fall asleep, and the moment Su Ruyue's soft and boneless little hand rested on his chest, he opened his eyes suddenly, and his eyes were full of shock and subtle resistance.
Su Ruyue felt the warmth, and was even more arrogant, leaning sideways, hugging him tightly, the warm and damp breath fell on the root of his ear, and Qin Shixuan even lost his rhythm of breathing at this time.
His sanity made him impatient to push away the woman beside him who could control his senses, but when he turned his head to meet her sleeping little face, his sanity shattered and disappeared without a trace, but his outstretched hand was carefully retracted, for fear of waking the person up.
In this way, Su Ruyue spent a night sleeping very soundly, and when she woke up, the sky was already bright, and the room was warm, and Su Ruyue was a little stunned for a while.
She turned around to look, there was no Qin Shixuan beside her, and the bed was exceptionally tidy, and she didn't know if he came back to sleep or not......
Su Ruyue lifted the quilt, but she didn't notice the cold, she was a little puzzled, and was about to go to the window to see if there was a big sun outside, otherwise it wouldn't be cold in the house at all this night.
As soon as the bare feet were stuffed into the shoes, before the person left the bed, Su Ruyue saw the brazier placed by the door, which was burning with red coal, and the window on the side was also opened, revealing a trace of gaps.
Su Ruyue was stunned, as if she had eaten honey, sweet and silky.
When she came out of the house with her braids, the two boys in the courtyard were listening to Qi Zhao talking about things in the army, and they listened to it with relish, and no one even saw her come out.
Su Ruyue came to the kitchen and saw a new wooden basin on the table, which was not too big, with a new towel in it and her toothbrush on the side.
Could it be that this is for her?
She walked out and looked around looking for Qin Shixu, but she didn't see his figure, but Qi Zhao found her and said hello with a smile.
"Sister-in-law? Looking for a second brother? He went out on business...... By the way, before he left, he specially told me to tell you, the wooden basin is for you, and he made it himself! ”
The last six words were added by Qi Zhao himself, and he emphasized them in a joking tone.
Su Ruyue, who returned to the kitchen, looked at the lacquer and delicate flower case painted on the basin, and narrowed her eyes with a smile.
As soon as she washed up, Su Ruyue saw Qin Shixuan who came back from outside, the man's face seemed to be a little solemn, and the smile on Su Ruyue's lips condensed slightly, but she walked over without hurrying.
"What's going on?" Su Ruyue's tone was gentle, but she guessed in her heart, could it be that the parents of the original owner made some trouble again?
Qin Shixuan looked at the woman's clear eyes, and when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed again, "It's nothing, you can rest assured." ”
Su Ruyue didn't believe this, glanced at him, deliberately imitated the appearance of the original owner, and said in a strange manner: "Am I not a member of this family?" Is there anything I don't know? Or do you not think of me as a family in your heart? ”
The word family is now a thorn in Su Ruyue's heart, and when she comes to this strange place, the only person she trusts and sees as her family is Qin Shixu.
Qin Shixu, who was already stupid and not good at getting along with women, panicked for a while, and without waiting for Su Ruyue's eyes to redden, he told the matter from beginning to end, causing Qi Zhao, who was watching the play on the sidelines, to look at him with a bad smile.
