Chapter 69: Sleepless Nights
Xie Xingqian went back to the study to read.
Tonight's mood was a little fluctuating, he didn't read professional literature, but picked a novel about criminal investigation to pass the time.
It was almost twelve o'clock when the door opened and closed outside the hallway.
Xie Xingqian looked up and saw Jiang Jianyue standing outside the study through the crack in the door, and knocked on the door with a probe.
Xie Xingqian put down the book and asked softly, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
Jiang Jianyue pushed open the door, walked in with an unnatural expression, moved the chair by the window and slowly sat down beside him.
Xie Xingqian stared at her for a while, pulling the corners of his mouth: "Can't sleep?" ”
Jiang Jianyue was not in a very good mood at this time, and some regretted watching horror movies at night, but now she feels that there are people behind every door in the house.
After a moment of silence, she squeezed a word out of her throat in a low voice: "Hmm......"
He raised his eyes and looked around and asked him, "Does this house usually have any strange sounds?" ”
Xie Xingqian was stunned for a moment, thought of something, and laughed out loud in the next second.
Jiang Jianyue glared at her, but obviously her eyes were not lethal.
"Spooked by horror movies?" Xie Xingqian looked at her bluffing expression and only felt extremely cute.
Jiang Jianyue: "......"
Xie Xingqian coughed lightly and restrained his smile: "It's understandable, this film is really scary." ”
Jiang Jianyue's heart suddenly felt a little more comfortable, and tilted her head to look at him: "What, you can't sleep either?" ”
Xie Xingqian nodded very respectfully: "Yes." ”
Jiang Jianyue stood up and limped to the bookshelf to choose a book: "Then I'll accompany you here." ”
Xie Xingqian turned his face away, "Okay." ”
He continued to read the novel.
Jiang Jianyue looked at the bookshelf for a long time, but didn't find the book he wanted to read, walked back to him, stared at the novel in front of him and asked, "What kind of book is this, is it good?" ”
Xie Xingqian smiled: "It's very good-looking." ”
Jiang Jianyue sat down next to him, looked at the pages curiously, extracted many professional words from the above paragraphs, and guessed that it was a criminal investigation novel.
"I see you've been on this page for a long time, what are you talking about?" Sleepless, she wanted to find something to distract herself.
Xie Xingqian turned the page of the book, and his expression did not have a trace of flaw: "Here is about a criminal policeman who was actually frightened by pretending to be a ghost in handling a case, which is strange and interesting." ”
"What case is so ......" Suddenly, she reacted, frowned and asked him, "Xie Xingqi, you won't be laughing at me, right?" ”
Asked by her, Xie Xingqian used the book to offset the amount, and laughed out loud completely.
Jiang Jianyue: "......"
She coughed lightly and tried to explain: "I'm not afraid of ghosts, I'm just afraid of the ancient picture quality of the last century and that kind of absurd and weird music, in fact, the ghosts in that movie are not scary." ”
Xie Xingqi: "Hmm. ”
Jiang Jianyue: "......"
"I'm really not afraid of ghosts, otherwise we will find another one tomorrow, find a recent film, I will definitely not be afraid."
She stared at Xie Xingqi, he pursed his lips, and finally stopped smiling.
"Okay, I know you're not afraid of ghosts," Xie Xingqian moved to the side and beckoned her, "I'm afraid, sit down." ”
Jiang Jianyue blinked, and suddenly even he felt funny.
She moved the chair closer to Xie Xingqi, and the corners of her eyes curved: "Okay." ”
……
Tomorrow is the weekend, and Xie Xingqian has been watching for a little longer tonight.
It was already one o'clock in the morning, and the whole world was silent. He turned his head and saw Jiang Jianyue lying on the two-seater sofa in the study, her eyes gently closed, and her breathing was already very gentle.
Xie Xingqian picked up the comic book she dropped on the ground, put it next to her, and quietly looked at Jiang Jianyue for a while.
She looked beautiful when she slept, her hair was scattered like ink, revealing her delicate features, and the shadow of her eyelashes fell under her eyelids, calm and gentle.
Xie Xingqi's heart collapsed.
She was his destined person.
Three years, five years, ten years.
As long as you meet again, you are destined to fall in love again and again.
Looking away, he approached lightly, bent down to pick her up.
The sweet bath gel was full of fragrance, because it was too tempting, Xie Xingqian couldn't help but lower her head, and her chin rubbed against her head.
The hair on the top of her head tickled him, but he couldn't lift his hand to scratch it, and the itch went from his chin all the way into his heart.
Xie Xingqian took a deep breath, restrained the blood surging in his body, gently put her back on the bed in the master bedroom, and then covered her with the quilt.
……
When she woke up the next morning, Jiang Jianyue was a little confused.
Last night, she remembered that she had fallen asleep on the small sofa in her study, and now she was actually in bed.
Did Xie Xingqian bring her over?
There was a glass of water on the bedside table, and she tilted her head to look at it for a few moments before bringing it over to drink.
After drinking the water and feeling that the whole person was moisturized, Jiang Jianyue got up and went into the bathroom to solve the hygiene problem.
After washing up and leaving the room, the living room was quiet, the doors of the second bedroom and the study were open, and there was no figure of Xie Xingqian inside, but his pajamas on the recliner.
Out of the house?
Jiang Jianyue slipped to the entrance and found that Xie Xingqi's slippers were indeed here.
She went back to the kitchen, where porridge was boiling in the rice cooker, and a box of corn kernels and washed green peppers and eggs were on the island, and it seemed that they would be back in a moment.
Jiang Jianyue took the kettle and watered a few pots of green plants, and went back to the master bedroom to check the injury on his leg.
When there was movement in the hallway, Jiang Jianyue glanced at the time, showing seven thirty-five.
She put on her shoes and walked out, and as soon as she walked out of the corridor, Xie Xingqi's figure appeared in front of her.
He wore a tracksuit, blue clothes and black pants, and his chest, back and back were soaked with sweat, outlining faint muscle lines.
Jiang Jianyue was stunned: "Did you go for a morning run?" ”
"Well, I'm going to work out on the weekends," he paused and looked at her, "Does your foot still hurt?" ”
Jiang Jianyue retracted her gaze: "A little bit, it will definitely be no problem to go to work tomorrow...... You go take a shower first, I'll get breakfast out. ”
Xie Xingqi: "You take the porridge out to dry, and wait for me to scramble eggs and corn after I take a shower." ”
Jiang Jianyue: "Okay." ”
Xie Xingqian quickly entered the bathroom, and Jiang Jianyue slowly took out two bowls of porridge and sat at the dining table to wait.
A few minutes later, Xie Xingqian came out refreshed, simply fried a plate of green pepper corn kernels, fried two eggs, and sat opposite each other for breakfast.
"I'll go to the bureau in a while, what are you going to do alone?" Xie Xingqian scooped a spoonful of corn kernels and put them into the porridge, looked up and asked.
Jiang Jianyue: "Let's read a book for a while, the weather is good today, and I want to go to the opposite park if it's okay in the afternoon." ”
Xie Xingqian didn't stop it, but just reminded: "Don't go around for a while, even if it doesn't hurt, don't let the wound get dirty." ”
Jiang Jianyue nodded: "I'll pay attention." ”
Xie Xingqian went to add a bowl of porridge.
His hair was still a little wet, and his skin was bright white in the morning light, especially his two slender arms.
From the perspective of the back, his figure is also very good, and Jiang Jianyue can't help but make up what kind of touch this body will feel when she hugs her last night.
There are pectorals and abs, so they should be warm and powerful......
Xie Xingqian sat down opposite him with a bowl, so close that she could smell the cold scent of cedar on his body.
Jiang Jianyue's face was hot, and he quietly looked away and ate silently.
