MTMIO Chapter 105
by VolareChapter 105: Wish You All the Best
Coming out of Grandma’s room, Lu You’s tense nerves relaxed slightly, but her complexion was still not good, clearly showing lingering fear and fatigue.
“You stay home and keep Grandma company, I can go by myself,” Yue Yunxi said.
Lu You glanced at the tightly closed door, her gaze returning to Yue Yunxi, hesitant.
Although Auntie Liu was there to watch over her, she was still worried about Grandma, and she didn’t want Yue Yunxi to have to go back and forth alone.
“It’s settled then.” Yue Yunxi placed her palm on her forehead, smoothing her furrowed brows, “Don’t worry about it, Grandma is more important.”
Her tone was exceptionally gentle, wrapped in an undeniable attitude.
Lu You had no choice but to say, “Then I’ll see you to the gate.”
The two walked out together.
Lu You asked, “Speaking of which, why are you going back to Lanwan? You just came from there.”
“Seeing that she and Uncle Tao had a very ugly fight, I’m really worried about her living there.”
Yue Yunxi stopped at the entrance, took the soft mist blue coat from the hook, put it on, and bent down to change her shoes.
Lu You also took another beige coat, “Do you think Uncle Tao will retaliate against Auntie because he can’t swallow this?”
“It’s hard to say, you can’t underestimate the evil in human nature.”
Lu You paused as she was tying her belt, her hand drooping down, reaching to the side of Yue Yunxi’s face, helping her to brush away the long hair that was blocking her vision.
The curved knuckles touched the skin of her cheek, soft and elastic.
“It’s always good to be cautious, thinking that Tao Xin should be calmed down in a few hours, it’s better to take them to that side.” Yue Yunxi changed her shoes, turned to look at her also putting on her coat, and smiled, “Didn’t you say you were only seeing me to the gate?”
“The courtyard gate is also a gate.” Lu You took out a pair of outdoor slippers from the shoe cabinet and changed the subject, “That side, is that the house you bought for Auntie?”
“Yes.”
Yue Yunxi buttoned up the collar of her coat, and tied a knot with the fabric belt on her waist.
The lower half of Lu You’s face was buried in the stand-up collar, and she asked in a muffled voice, “Teacher Zhong… do they live next door?”
Yue Yunxi’s hand paused slightly, released the belt, and turned to open the door.
A very light “hmm” floated in the wind that poured into the entrance, flowing past Lu You’s ears.
Lu You didn’t speak for a moment, put her hands in her pockets, and silently followed Yue Yunxi to the car.
It wasn’t until Yue Yunxi pressed the car key that the “click” of the unlock broke the silent atmosphere swaying in the air with the wind.
“Which complex?” Lu You scratched the tip of her nose, “I just want to know your schedule, nothing else.”
She lowered her head and could feel Yue Yunxi’s gaze fixed on her, probably an expression that had already seen through her.
Because Yue Yunxi’s voice when she answered the name of the complex contained a shallow but noticeable smile.
“In the jurisdiction across the bridge, not very far, it’s only a twenty-minute drive through the tunnel.” Yue Yunxi opened the car door.
“Oh.”
“I’m leaving.”
The car door closed.
Lu You absentmindedly “oh”ed again.
A moment later, she heard the sound of the car window lowering, and Lu You suddenly came back to her senses, realizing that Yue Yunxi had already gotten into the car.
Their eyes met gently.
“Just an ‘oh’?” Yue Yunxi asked with a smile, “Is there nothing else you want to say to me?”
“Drive safely,” Lu You took her hand out of her pocket, held the window frame, “Call me when you get there, notify me when you take Auntie over there, call me when you arrive, and notify me when you’re ready to come back.”
At the ends of both sides of the window frame, Yue Yunxi’s hands were placed, her knuckles lifted slightly under her actions, and then fell heavily as she spoke.
As if pressing an invisible button.
The world paused for a moment, Lu You stopped speaking, and noticed that Yue Yunxi’s gaze was fixed on the lines of her lips.
That gaze was deep and obsessed, stirring a kind of desire in her heart.
Lu You’s hand holding the window frame moved unconsciously.
Beyond the corner of the courtyard was the street, with heavy traffic and the sounds of tires rising and falling, the sounds of hurried footsteps interspersed with laughter, the melody belonging to the everyday life of the city, surging into the courtyard like a tide.
The bougainvillea, clinging to the flower stand and clustered into an umbrella shape, swayed in the wind, its shadow shaking the sparse sunlight.
Light and shadow, and a faint fragrance, merged in a very light laugh.
Lu You slowly took her hand away from the window frame, “What are you laughing at?”
“Laughing at how cute you are, how lovable you are that I want to love.”
Yue Yunxi leaned out of the car window, raised her face, and captured the end of her sentence, crushing it in the lingering tenderness of their lips and teeth.
Lu You’s fingers, dangling in the cold wind in mid-air, moved in the warm touch, and together with her other hand, she raised them and cupped Yue Yunxi’s cheeks the moment she closed her eyes.
Pressing in, touching, entwining, deep in the restraint of even more ferocious tenderness.
Like the feeling of sparks gently licking tobacco.
Her scalp was tingling, sometimes unable to withstand such a heated kiss, sometimes craving more.
Yue Yunxi’s hands, originally pressed against the window frame, climbed onto Lu You’s shoulders, reaching into her collar from her slender and fragile neck to the back of her head, pressing her forward, wrapping her softness, and sucking hard.
As if venting an unventable desire.
Lu You “hmm”ed, her tongue hurt so much that tears almost came out.
The distance was slightly widened, Lu You’s lips were slightly open, and the tongue that Yue Yunxi had sucked out was stranded on her lower lip like a small fish, spitting out a little tip.
A little cute.
Yue Yunxi stuck out the tip of her tongue and licked it gently.
The “little fish” was startled and immediately shrank back.
Lu You, with her tongue thick, said angrily, “You’re sucking me again, you really like this…”
Yue Yunxi leaned back softly, her chin resting on the back of her hand, a little innocent, “Do I?”
“Yes!”
It really hurt too much, Lu You squinted at the culprit, wickedly, “Not only on top, but also on the bottom.”
Yue Yunxi’s face had not yet faded from the heat of the kiss, and a new layer of crimson had been added, making her feel a little shy, but after all, she was four years older, and she could hold on better than Lu You.
“It’s hard to control.” Yue Yunxi couldn’t describe her feelings.
That kind of possessive desire to wrap her in her arms when she liked someone too much.
Lu You stared at her resentfully, “I don’t think you want to control it at all.”
“…So you don’t like it? If you don’t like it, then I won’t suck it next time.” Yue Yunxi raised her eyebrows, “Whether it’s on top or on the bottom.”
Lu You endured the shame, buried half of her increasingly hot face in her collar, looked down at the void, avoided Yue Yunxi’s gaze, and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t like it…”
“Really?”
“…Not really.” Lu You changed her tune again, “You should go take care of your business.”
Yue Yunxi hooked the corners of her mouth, “Can I continue the pain on your tongue when I get back?”
“…”
Lu You opened the courtyard gate.
As the car slowly passed in front of her, she coughed and said, “I’ll see when you get back.”
ˉ
Back in the house, Lu You replaced Auntie Liu and stayed by Grandma’s bed.
Nestled in the recliner, she took out her phone, adjusted the brightness to the lowest setting, and sent a message to Yue Yunxi.
[Lu]: [The little old lady is sleeping very soundly, even snoring, and Liuliuqiu is also snoring, like a duet.]
After a while, Yue Yunxi replied: [Smirk]
[Full Moon]: [I’m here.]
[Lu]: [Okay]
Yue Yunxi didn’t send any more messages, probably rushing to deal with things.
Lu You switched to the photo album and flipped out the sheet music photos to memorize them.
Imagining the piano keys, she practiced fingering in the air.
After practicing for more than forty minutes, she received two messages from Yue Yunxi reporting on her schedule, saying that she had already taken Yue Shao back to her new home, and would stay there for dinner before going to pack her clothes and come over.
The phone prompted that the battery was less than 20%, and switched to power saving mode.
Lu You finally couldn’t sit still, twisted her stiff neck, and stood up.
There was no charging cable on the bedside table, so she turned to the dressing table, turned on the phone light, and looked at the vitamins and health products placed on the table, and the various small objects on the table’s curio shelf.
At least three-quarters of them were brought back from abroad by Yue Yunxi.
In the center were photos of Grandma when she was young, and a small antique fan that had been unfolded. It was the birthday gift she bought for Grandma with the first pot of gold she earned.
The fan bones were made of nautilus mother-of-pearl, and the unfolded surface was full of lace carvings, each flower with a different shape.
She thought it matched Grandma’s name very well, and also matched that photo of Grandma when she was young.
When she put the fan back in place, Liuliuqiu, lying on the side of the bed, stretched, and its little nose gently sniffed the back of Grandma’s hand. Grandma slowly opened her eyes.
Lu You didn’t notice, and after looking at the things on the curio shelf, she turned her gaze to the ceramic jar that she and Grandma had made together, and noticed that the lid was not tightly closed.
She reached out and pinched the flower-shaped lid knob.
“Yoyo.” Grandma turned on the bedside lamp.
The dimness turned into a clear, thin yellow, and when it spread out like ripples on the jar, the ceramic lid was tightly sealed on the mouth of the jar.
Lu You let go, turned around, walked over and said, “You’re awake, is your head still dizzy?”
“Much better, not dizzy anymore.”
“What about other places? Are you uncomfortable?”
“No.” Grandma sat up with support, “Didn’t you say you were going home with Yunxi? Where’s Yunxi?”
“She went back by herself.” Lu You scratched the tip of her nose, “I thought about it, she and Auntie Yue haven’t seen each other for a few days, so I shouldn’t disturb their mother-daughter time.”
Grandma didn’t suspect him, “Then is she coming tonight?”
“Yes, the old Buddha has already given her verbal instructions to come and stay, how can she not come.”
Grandma was amused, and smiled so hard that she opened her eyes and laughed for a long time, then lifted the quilt and got out of bed, “Let’s go, let’s go out for a walk.”
Liuliuqiu, who had grown into a ball, turned around in place.
The grandmother and granddaughter took Liuliuqiu for a walk, strolled to the nearby small park, and listened to the old ladies and old gentlemen playing the saxophone and portable electric piano, playing Deng Yao’s “Farewell Letter”.
Lu You was pushed forward by the old lady to show off her skills, and from sight-reading and fingering, she was questioned by the two old men as to whether she could play, to taking off her pinky ring and reaping the stunned looks on several faces.
The little old lady proudly held her head almost to the sky, “My granddaughter is very amazing!”
After bragging to the little old ladies who praised her, she bought fruit and wonton wrappers, and the two slowly swayed back.
Auntie Liu stewed pigeon soup with gastrodia elata to relieve the old lady’s dizziness, and the rest were dishes that Lu You and Yue Yunxi loved to eat.
Before picking up her chopsticks, Lu You took a photo and sent it to Yue Yunxi, circling her scrambled eggs with tomatoes: [Look, there are your favorite super silky eggs [seduction]]
[Full Moon]: [Save me some.]
[Lu]: [What are you eating?]
Almost at the same time, Yue Yunxi sent a photo, with a long electric stove in the center of the table with two square pots, one with a pig stomach and chicken soup base, and the other with a butter base. The stove was surrounded by dishes for hot pot.
In the corners, you could vaguely see three sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Although she knew that Tao Xin wasn’t really “in love” with Yue Yunxi, but was just acting out of possessiveness.
But thinking of them sitting together at this moment, having a happy hot pot meal, Lu You still felt a little uncomfortable.
She chewed on her chopsticks and pressed her phone: [You’re eating so well, and you still want me to save you some, I won’t save you any]
ˉ
“Didn’t you say you weren’t going to save me any?”
The hour hand on the watch pointed to the number “9”, and Lu You put the plate with the tomato and egg rice into the microwave, turned the knob, turned around to pour the orange juice in the juicer.
“It’s just that you’ve been hurt recently and you’ve lost weight… If you came back ten minutes later, I really wouldn’t save you any.”
Before her hand could touch the juicer, she was pulled by the wrist and turned into a warm embrace.
Yue Yunxi leaned against the island, reached out and wrapped her arms around her shoulders, her eyes lifted from the tip of her nose to meet her eyes, and she Delicate complained: “You didn’t even touch my nose, did you really not want to save me any?”
Lu You didn’t speak.
Yue Yunxi brought her lips up, a little flattering, a little seductive, touching her intermittently.
All of her temper was worn away.
Lu You wrapped her arms around her waist, lifted her chin slightly, and responded.
Yue Yunxi silently released her teeth, letting her long-drive and straight-in encroachment, restrained her desire, and didn’t wrap her supple softness like when she left in the afternoon.
In the staggered breathing, Lu You uttered a vague sentence: “Why did you come back so late?”
Yue Yunxi shook her mind imperceptibly, and explained softly: “I didn’t know how many days I was going to stay, so I was tangled for a while about how many clothes to bring. When I was about to leave, I remembered that I hadn’t taken the epiphyllum flowers that were stored frozen.”
Lu You blinked her eyelashes twice, “Then what are you going to do with it?”
Yue Yunxi’s lips curled slightly: “To make tea and cook soup.”
“…That’s not good.”
“Where is it not good?”
Lu You couldn’t stand her meaningful gaze, lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice: “It’s just not good, it’s not good anywhere.”
Taking that thing to make tea, the fragrance of the epiphyllum flower will definitely make her recall the experience of blaspheming the piano that night.
Yue Yunxi smiled, her chest slightly vibrating.
“It’s…the epiphyllum flower that your mother gave me, to bring to Grandma to make tea and cook soup.”
The light laughter, like the wind passing by her ears. The sparks that burned Lu You’s body temperature were fanned even more fiercely, and her cheeks and ears turned red in a flash.
As a result, this person not only fanned the flames, but also added firewood, approaching her ear.
“The two flowers you gave way to are still in the last layer of the refrigerator, shall I bring them to you another day?”
The microwave “ding—” sounded.
Lu You took the opportunity to jump out of her arms: “Thank you, there’s no need, you can keep it for yourself. Take your rice.”
Yue Yunxi went to get the rice.
Lu You poured the orange juice into a glass, a little distracted.
She was too shy to even care about the words “your mother”.
At this moment, she came back to her senses and realized it half a beat later.
She couldn’t tell whether it was because the topic had passed and she felt it wasn’t necessary to mention it so deliberately, and was too lazy to correct it.
Or because she didn’t actually have as much resentment in her heart as she had imagined.
After putting the orange juice in front of Yue Yunxi, Lu You held her own glass and sat opposite her, holding her face in her hands, admiring the other party’s gentle and elegant eating habits.
“There were so many dishes in the hot pot, are you still not full? Did Tao Xin figure it out and have a big appetite?”
That amount of food was enough for four people to eat.
Yue Yunxi’s eyebrows moved slightly, her eyebrows lifted slightly, as if she felt puzzled and quickly figured it out, swallowed the food and said: “Tao Xin…she had already left when I arrived at Lanwan in the afternoon.”
Lu You was surprised.
“She said she didn’t want to stay in Nanquan and wanted to travel around to relax.” Yue Yunxi said, “By the way, which agency did you give the house in Lanwan to?”
Lu You asked: “Hmm? Are you going to sell the house in Lanwan too?”
“Yes, my mother wants to sell it and lend the money to Tao Xin to pay the liquidated damages.”
“Did Tao Xin take the initiative to ask her to borrow it? Or is she worried that Tao Xin can’t afford to pay it?”
“The second one.” Yue Yunxi said flatly, “She said to see what I meant, if I had no objection, she would ask Tao Xin if she needed it, and would have Tao Xin write an IOU. If I felt uncomfortable, she wouldn’t care if Tao Xin didn’t mention it.”
Lu You took two sips of orange juice, tilted her head, looked at her with curved eyebrows and eyes, and repeated the focus: “Say to see what you mean.”
The aroma of orange juice in the air exuded a clear sweetness.
Yue Yunxi also smiled and hooked her lips, picked up the glass and took a sip.
As a result, that little bit of sweetness seeped into the deeper depths.
“Then what? You agreed?”
Yue Yunxi smiled and “hmm”ed.
Lu You turned to ask: “Then who did you eat hot pot with? I saw there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks.”
“Teacher Zhong, she has a workout day today, and worked out for more than three hours in the afternoon.” Yue Yunxi paused, “There are four people, and one set of bowls and chopsticks wasn’t photographed…”
Lu You immediately understood her unfinished intention, and knew who the fourth set of bowls and chopsticks belonged to.
The white porcelain spoon lightly touched the underglaze colored porcelain plate, and the crisp sound fell into the silence.
Like the winding and twitching lines that cracked in the crisp sound of thin ice.
“Did she…eat the spicy pot or the clear soup pot?” Lu You put her hand holding her face on the table, sat upright, a little restrained.
After seeing Zhang Wenyin, she often recalled the meal she had at Zhong Apo’s house in Xicheng.
Thinking of the dish that she no longer liked, she resentfully thought that the belated motherly love was like the thorn that made her no longer like to eat fish.
Stuck in her throat, hard to ignore, making her uncomfortable, making her recall the fish that she used to love, which was full of a strong fishy smell.
However, looking back at herself, in those years when she said she loved her mother, she didn’t even know what her mother liked to eat.
“She eats clear soup, and like my mother, her stomach is not very good, so she can’t eat spicy food.” Yue Yunxi said with a smile, “She likes to eat mutton, which must be freshly cut; she doesn’t like to eat beef, she doesn’t like to eat internal organs, including tripe, omasum, etc., she doesn’t like them; she likes to eat mushrooms, but she doesn’t like shiitake mushrooms and enoki mushrooms; she basically likes to eat all vegetables, especially cilantro.”
Hearing this, Lu You frowned.
Yue Yunxi smiled and said, “If you eat hot pot together, she will wait for you to finish eating before blanching cilantro.”
Lu You’s eyebrows and eyes stretched, and she wiped the tip of her nose and muttered: “Who wants to eat hot pot with her?”
Yue Yunxi lowered her eyes, her gaze falling on the fingertips that she had touched her nose.
Lu You’s fingertips curled up and hid under her palm, glanced at the little bit of tomato and egg rice left in the plate, “Is it enough to eat? There are small wontons in the refrigerator.”
Eating a hot pot, she only cared about observing what her object’s mother liked to eat and what she didn’t like to eat, no wonder she didn’t eat enough.
“Enough.”
After Yue Yunxi finished eating, the two washed the dishes, turned off the kitchen lights, carried Yue Yunxi’s suitcase, and tiptoed upstairs.
“How is Grandma?” Yue Yunxi asked in a breathy voice.
“Much better, I took her blood pressure again later, and it was still a little high… You really didn’t seriously read the WeChat message I sent you!”
“Of course I did. This is caring again.” Yue Yunxi’s gentle tone imitated her words, “You really didn’t seriously read the replies I carefully gave you.”
There was no blaming meaning, just a kind of flirtatious teasing.
Entering the bedroom, Lu You put the suitcase against the side of the desk. The books in the space on the right side of the desk bookshelf were replaced with those she had bought back from Florence. Two Pinocchios sat side by side on the top layer of the wooden board, their legs hanging just above the books.
Yue Yunxi leaned lazily against the desk, flicking the legs of the short-nosed one, “You’re not sincere enough.”
The end of the sentence had just come out, and the breath had not yet fallen, when it was lifted up again.
Lu You hugged her onto the table, her hands propped on both sides, encircling her in her arms, her palms slightly forceful, lifting her chin.
“Then I’ll give you something sincere?” Her fingertips caressed her soft lips, “Is it sincere enough to allow you to continue the pain?”
Yue Yunxi gently bit her fingertips, then kissed her lips, turning and deepening.
It’s hard to control, and on this point, Yue Yunxi was not exaggerating at all.
It hurt.
Lu You couldn’t help but groan.
A sudden, low tremor like a section of abrupt string sound.
Hearing the soft and delicate sound, full of grievance, Yue Yunxi’s nerves jumped, suppressed it until her fingertips scratched her palm and felt a slight pain, her whole body couldn’t help but tremble, and she forcibly suppressed the impulse.
However, in the next second, she heard Lu You panting in her ear, a low and light breath, a Coquettish, teasingly catching her ear: “Softer, point.”
Yue Yunxi didn’t speak, and didn’t react, just buried her head in her shoulder socket, breathing deeply.
Lu You’s hand reached from the open coat to her side waist.
Even through the sweater, she could feel the rise and fall caused by breathing.
Her hand slowly moved down, lifting the hem of her clothes.
The indoor heating was sufficient, but it was still slightly cold compared to body temperature, like a gust of cool wind suddenly drilling in.
Yue Yunxi noticed, slowly lifted her eyelids, her eyes just fell on her slender and fair wrist bones.
Lu You’s fingertips caressed the scabbed and pink scar on her.
The soft and cool touch stimulated her flat abdomen to tighten the lines and textures under the firm skin because of taking a breath of cold air.
Like a thin and soft dough, letting her fingertips lightly grip and knead.
Yue Yunxi looked up, her eyes so soft that it seemed like it was going to rain.
Lu You then took the opportunity to kiss her neck, stroking the back of her head, and touched the hairpin that held up her long hair.
A gentle pull.
A red mark fell on her fragile white neck.
Yue Yunxi’s neck tilted back more deeply, and her dark hair like seaweed instantly draped down, flowing over Lu You’s left pinky ring.
Lu You’s right fingertip was still gently rubbing on the fragile and sensitive scar, and her lips lingered to Yue Yunxi’s ear: “You have to cherish the current me who can let you bully me. When this is completely healed, I will definitely turn over and be the-”
She paused in the middle because Yue Yunxi’s long legs wrapped around her waist.
“You…” Lu You swallowed and said, “Don’t use the small toy.”
“Got it.”
Lu You’s heart skipped a beat.
Yue Yunxi tilted her head, her hands firmly holding the back of her head, and bit her red lips that were slightly open because of this moment of accelerated heartbeat.
The kiss was much gentler and longer than before.
Her other hand was not idle either, she lifted the hem of her clothes. Her hot palms were close to her, lightly and heavily, irregularly covering her.
Even her lips were used, it can be said that it was evenly distributed, and everything was taken care of.
Moving from the desk to the lazy sofa by the window, Lu You’s upturned face was filled with moonlight, her waist collapsed like a tough grass, and her eyes blinked from time to time.
The halo on the ceiling was hazy and distorted, and her sensitive hearing clearly captured the rustling sound of water.
Both ashamed and happy, this good ear can not only tune, but also amplify the sensory experience.
Just like she both likes and can’t bear Yue Yunxi’s pizzicato techniques like playing the cello.
The sound of Liuliuqiu’s dog paws stepping on the floor came from outside.
The rustling movement seemed to be Grandma waking up to drink water or eat something, and followed Auntie Liu out of the bedroom.
Probably seeing the light in the crack of her door, Grandma said, “Look, she’s not asleep yet.”
“Young people sleep late, they have to play with their phones or something before going to bed.”
The phone was right next to Lu You’s hand, the screen was black, reflecting her face, and her hair was sweaty on her cheeks.
The sound of climbing the stairs accelerated Lu You’s heartbeat.
“Liuliuqiu, come back, go back to the room to sleep.” Auntie Liu lowered her voice and said to Liuliuqiu.
Unable to move Liuliuqiu, Auntie Liu went upstairs.
The increasingly closer footsteps stopped at the door.
Too nervous, Lu You uncontrollably shrank back.
Yue Yunxi had the posture of withdrawing.
Lu You bit her lower lip, grabbed her wrist, and said in a weak voice: “Don’t go.”
Neither up nor down, it was too uncomfortable.
Yue Yunxi’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she bit her ear with her: “Are you sure?”
Auntie Liu took Liuliuqiu downstairs.
Lu You used a little force and pushed her in.
The dragging footsteps moved slowly, gradually moving away.
The two finger joints stranded in the hidden place were playing a “Flight of the Bumblebee”, the action of plucking the strings and pulling the bow was light and fast, but the string sound fed back was heavy and heavy.
Lu You’s breath was hot.
Like the boiled water that poured out of the spout, the steaming mist.
Her eyes were hazy.
Like being drunk in the absurd moonlight, the senses under the slight drunkenness were psychedelic and clear, wanting to live and die, entangled and lingering.
She felt the fine kisses spread out, piously falling on her forehead, patrolling her cheeks, and lingering on her ear bones.
The timbre lingered on the tip of her tongue,hot ing the teasing words on her lips.
“Are you still satisfied?”
She couldn’t make a sound before, and Lu You’s throat was sore. At this moment, she could make a sound, but she was too hoarse to make a sound.
“If you’re not satisfied… then let’s do it again?”
The lights were turned off, and the room fell into darkness. Outside the window, the lights of the city that never sleeps were luxuriant. Her palms were pressed against the cold glass, and on the winter night, she was bathed in a rain called spring.
…
In the shower room, Yue Yunxi asked her if she wanted to take a bath to relax, so she inexplicably went to the bathtub again.
The room was shrouded in a layer of heat that the exhaust fan couldn’t blow away, and her skin was smoked pink.
The water in the bathtub was still slowly accumulating, and it was only halfway filled. The touch of ceramics on the surface of the water was cold.
Only this little bit of coolness was the most comfortable. Lu You leaned against it, as if being warmed, feeling oxygen deficient.
Yue Yunxi lifted her leg, all the way up from her ankle bones, and when she kissed her small mouth, this feeling was even deeper.
Lu You fell into a heavier suffocation, only feeling that she was going crazy, grabbed her hair and asked, “Aren’t you tired?”
Yue Yunxi laughed softly and breathed in her mouth, “…How can I be tired.”
Lu You tightened her hair.
Considering that the scar had not faded, she didn’t stay in the bathroom for too long.
When she came out of the shower room, Lu You was already too weak to move at all. The aftertaste in her body was still trembling, and she collapsed on the bed without drying her hair.
The light was on at the head of the bed, like a small orange-red tangerine.
Outside her thin eyelids, the light and shadow were shaking, and listening to the movement, Yue Yunxi seemed to have brought a small stool over.
Lu You couldn’t open her eyes, and murmured, “What are you doing?”
What answered her was the sound of a hair dryer.
Yue Yunxi held up her sore forearm, and her delicate fingers like spring onions fell between her wet hair, and she scooped a strand to the hot air.
In the loud sound of the wind, Lu You confusedly thought wildly.
After the hair dryer was turned off, Yue Yunxi combed her hair. Lu You liked the feeling of her hair being messed with, feeling comfortable, so comfortable that she wanted to sleep.
But she was inexplicably reluctant to sleep, so she casually said with a smile: “Do you know, Grandma said today that she is an evil mother-in-law.”
Yue Yunxi’s movements paused.
The quiet atmosphere, coupled with the pleasure of combing her hair, made her consciousness gradually wander to the edge of dispersion.
Half-dreaming and half-awake, she heard Yue Yunxi call her, “Yoyo.”
Lu You moved her hand hanging on the edge of the bed lightly.
“Is it better for me to tell you the truth directly, or is it better to let them confess to you themselves?”
The following words seemed to be isolated outside the heavy glass, she could only hear the sound, and couldn’t hear the content clearly.
And Lu You’s thinking was still stagnant in her own question-just sleep like this, anyway, Yue Yunxi will move her position for her.
Or move a little, she understands the hard work of being 1, Yue Yunxi’s hands are probably too sore to move her. She has to lie down obediently, then hug the deer doll, and sleep close to Yue Yunxi.
So, when Yue Yunxi asked her softly, “One or two, which one do you choose?”
Lu You was briefly awake, listened to it, and lazily answered: “…Two.”
She took a breath and sat up, rubbed her eyes, yawned, and fell to the pillow at the head of the bed, hugging the deer doll in her arms.
Yue Yunxi’s shoulder line sank down, looked at her lying down, covered her with the quilt, and went to put the hair dryer back in place.
Before Yue Yunxi got into bed, Lu You called her in a Sound sound: “Yue Yunxi…Jiaojiao…Xixi…Little Moon?”
There was no response.
She opened her eyes slightly, and in the dim yellow halo, she first saw the books on the table, and inexplicably thought of a time when she was reading a book, and Yue Yunxi suddenly closed the cover for her, and then kissed her ear and said: Read me.
Her eyes followed the light footsteps to the end of her eyes, and Yue Yunxi stopped by the bed.
She had a biting fragrance after bathing, with a faint orange taste.
Yue Yunxi asked softly: “Do you want to drink water?”
Lu You was helped up by her and drank half a cup of water.
The light spots floating on the water surface, like a thin yellow moon, swayed gently, and the moonlight was like flowing heart, rippling in the ripples.
She handed the cup to Yue Yunxi, and Lu You’s wet lips wiped her cheeks, “When can I read a Moonlight?”
“What Moonlight?” Yue Yunxi put the cup down, lay down beside her, and told her to sleep well.
Lu You slipped into the quilt, and casually lifted the hem of her clothes, caressing the delicate and smooth surface, “A…naked Moon.”
After a brief silence, Yue Yunxi said: “Wait until your competition is over.”
“If I win the first prize in the competition, will my girlfriend have any celebration rewards?” Lu You asked lazily.
“A naked Moon, isn’t that enough?”
Lu You raised her index finger and shook it, “Not enough, not enough.”
Yue Yunxi smiled, her eyes moved slightly, and she circled her index finger that was shaking from left to right, “What do you want?”
Her voice was wrapped in a bit of ambiguity, and it brushed in her breath.
Lu You took out her hand and moved towards her.
Her lips opened and closed, stroking her warm and soft earlobe.
Outside the window, the hazy Moon slipped into the ethereal clouds like ink.
She said: “I want you…to play with toys for me to watch.”
