An Yao’S Observation Diary Chapter 22
bySultry Wednesday, July 30
We are officially together.
Life seems to be the same as before – we still buy groceries and cook together, go to and from get off work side by side, curl up on the sofa and share a movie, squat on the balcony and carefully scrub the leaves of the pots of green plants.Sunshine, three meals, trivial conversations, everything is business as usual.
But some things are different after all.
“Is this love?” An Yao asked softly.
“I don’t know either.” I rubbed his head, lowered my head and kissed the tip of the nose of the person in my arms, “But I think this is good.”
We kissed again.
“Yaoyao, don’t worry.” I pecked Anyao’s face, “We still have a long time.”
It’s very long, enough for us to slowly practice how to love each other again and again.
I hugged him tightly, and gently kissed him on the slightly trembling eyelids, gently moving down the cheek, and finally staying on the puckered soft lips.I pried open my lips abruptly, hooked the soft tongue inside and sucked slowly.From time to time, our teeth bumped together, showing soreness, which made us laugh uncontrollably.
“So stupid,” An Yao pressed my forehead with a soft smile, “Why are we so stupid?”
I also laughed, held his face and pressed it again, “Practice more, maybe you will become familiar with it later.”
We kissed again.
Their lips and teeth intertwined, and the sound of water filled the room.An Yao is short of breath and still can’t learn to breathe. I often kiss her until the end of her eyes turn red, and there is a wet glimmer in her eyes.
The kiss lasted for a long time, until Anyao couldn’t bear it and whimpered like a small animal, and I reluctantly let go.
Someone who was dizzy from being kissed fell into my arms without any strength, his chest rose and fell gently, and he gasped for breath. It took a while before his hazy eyes regained focus.I pinched his face and watched him melt slowly in my arms like a soft little dessert.
“Qingyan,” he suddenly said in a confused voice, “then… can we spend our menstrual period together?”
“Isn’t it enough to have inhibitors?” I blinked, and then realized the meaning of Anyao’s words. My ears instantly burned, and my cheeks and neck were filled with heat.
“Yaoyao, baby Yaoyao,” I held his face helplessly and rubbed it, “…are you confused by my kiss? What are you thinking in your little head?”
An Yao blinked, as if he finally understood what he said, and his fair face suddenly turned red.
“Qing, Qingyan…” He buried his face and muttered softly, “I didn’t think about anything.”
“B-but if I could, I’d like to spend it with you.”
An Yao raised his head, with a pair of light gray eyes full of my stupid look, “You can do anything to me.”
“As long as it’s you.”
I didn’t answer.In fact, my face was extremely red and my mind was in a mess.After hesitating for a long time, I became mute and could only hold An Yao tightly in my arms.
The two of us burned silently facing each other for a long time, until there were two “knock-knock” sounds from outside the door of the lounge.
“Brother Lin! Xiaoyao!” Chen Xuanyi shouted outside the door, “A patient is here!”
I responded quickly, hurriedly straightened my slightly messy collar, and tucked An Yao’s long, messy hair behind her ears.He looked up at me with his still flushed face, blinked his eyes quickly a few times, got up and followed me out.
The whole afternoon passed smoothly in a busy manner.The number of patients gradually decreased in the evening, and before seven o’clock there was no one left.
“Let’s call it a day early for today.” I said, “Thanks to everyone for your hard work.”
The two little girls cheered and quickly disappeared after packing their things.
After checking the clinic, An Yao and I closed the door, locked it, and walked out together.The late summer evening breeze had already brought a bit of coolness, gently brushing my ears. I turned my head and saw the afterglow of the sunset falling on An Yao’s soft side face, dyeing his light gray hair with a warm golden edge.
“Go home?” I asked softly.
“Yes.” He nodded, and naturally stretched out his hand to help me straighten the hem of my clothes that was wrinkled by the wind.
We shared another lingering kiss.
The electric car traveled through the darkening streets, and the light it illuminated created two overlapping light tracks in the hazy twilight.The street lights turned on in sequence, casting a warm hazy halo.
“Yaoyao,” I asked with a smile, “What are your future plans?”
The person behind him seemed to have thought about it seriously, his voice was slightly blown by the wind, “…I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“It’s okay,” I said, “Take your time.”
The electric car turned steadily into the community and parked under the familiar carport.I propped up the car, turned around, took off my helmet, and stretched out my hand to straighten Anyao’s messy forehead.
“I support you in whatever you want to do,” I said softly, “There is still a long time.”
An Yao’s eyes lit up and curved slightly.He didn’t speak, he just held my hand tighter.We just immersed ourselves in the vast night with our fingers intertwined, and returned together to the home that only belonged to each other.
“It’s still early.” I said, “Yaoyao, do you want some midnight snacks?”
An Yao shook our tightly interlocked hands, nodded, and the braid on the back of his head also shook, like a jumping little sparrow.
I smiled and rubbed his head. After changing my shoes and putting away my things, I walked into the kitchen with him.
I stood in front of the stove and started cooking noodles. I looked at An Yao, leaning on my arm, quietly watching the heat gradually rising in the pot.He had an inexplicable fruit knife in his hand, and he was pressing the back of the knife gently with his fingertips. His eyes were heavy, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
“Yaoyao?” I lowered my head and pecked his eyelids, “What are you thinking about?”
An Yao’s eyelids seemed to tremble slightly, and he quickly put down the knife, “Are there any other dishes that I need to deal with?”
“No more.” I wanted to squeeze his face, but when I raised my hand, I remembered that it was still stained with water, so I lowered my head and rubbed the top of his hair with my face, “I won’t be able to finish it if I do it any more. Thank you, Yaoyao, for your hard work.”
An Yao nuzzled my neck lovingly and said in a soft voice, “It’s not hard.”
I don’t know who came closer first, and the moment our breaths intertwined, we kissed each other again.It was gentle and long, sticky and sticky, until the sound of the soup in the pot kept rising, we barely regained some clarity.
I quickly put the vegetables in, covered the pot again, and held An Yao in my arms who was so weak from the kiss.He leaned on my shoulder, lay quietly for a while and then suddenly said, “Qingyan, from now on I will cook a meal and take it to the clinic every day.”
“Otherwise, it’s not healthy to always eat food from outside.”
I was stunned for a moment, “Wouldn’t this be too hard?”
“We can find a reliable restaurant to order food from,” I said after considering it. “It will be fried and delivered immediately. If the taste is not to your taste or the oil and salt are too high, just change to another restaurant.”
“Yaoyao, it’s hard to run back and forth.” I said softly, “I don’t want you to be so tired.”
“It’s not hard.” An Yao shook his head, “I think… I want to do something for you.”
Seeing his careful and serious look, my heart softened and I quickly swallowed back the rejection that came to my lips.
Although An Yao is now much more cheerful than before, in fact, the long-term impression of his family still makes him feel very unworthy. Perhaps blind refusal at this time will only frustrate the courage he finally built up. It is better to just accept it. Maybe it will be a good thing to give him some real feeling of being needed.
“Is this okay?” I said, “I will teach you how to ride an electric bike at the weekend. Once you learn it, you can ride on the road safely. Then we can discuss this, okay?”
An Yao’s eyes lit up instantly.He nodded vigorously, pursed his lips in a small curve of pleasure, turned around and went to sort out the ingredients for tomorrow’s breakfast, his hair tips swaying with joy.
I was so amused by his cheerful appearance that I couldn’t help but lean forward and place a gentle kiss on the tip of the slightly red ear.
The movement of his hand stopped, and the sound of water flow also stopped.I lowered my head and saw An Yao turning his head, his eyes tinged with light gray under the light, looking at me crookedly, with a bright smile inside.
I was enticed to take a step forward, the distance between us was infinitely shortened, our breaths intertwined again, and we kissed each other in a daze again at some point.
“Yaoyao,” I murmured his name, “Have I not told you that I love you yet?”
An Yao tightened his arms around my neck, and the smile on his lips spread along our intertwined lips and tongues.
“But I know,” he whispered, “that you just love me.”
An Yao pressed a soft kiss on the corner of my lips, as if planting a dandelion exuding the fragrance of magnolia on it.
“I love you too.” He smiled and said, “Only you.”
