248. 248. X 248
Summer rain always comes at once without any warning.
This morning the white cloud was still smiling happily, but in the afternoon it turned into a dark cloud, crying so loudly that all living creatures wept with it.
It rains without warning.
Xia Xi didn't expect it to rain heavily. She was still walking slowly on the road. When the rain suddenly started falling, she had no time to find a place to hide.
She had a bag in her hand, and she quickly put it over her head, speeding up her pace involuntarily.
However, her speed was not as fast as the raindrops, and soon her skirt was soaked by the rain, water droplets dripped down the ends of her hair, and her vision became blurred.
Some people always say that walking on a rainy day is very romantic, but Xia Xi doesn't think so. She doesn't like rainy days. It's so wet and the raindrops hitting her face are even more uncomfortable.
Xia Xi cursed bitterly in her heart.
God knows that she has been in a bad mood recently, so is he crying with her? Or is he deliberately just wanting to see her laugh?
"Didi——"
A whistle sounded beside me, like salvation on a rainy day.
The car stopped beside her.
"Xia Xi!"
Xia Xi turned her head, tears blurring her vision. Before she could see clearly who was coming, an umbrella was blocked above her head.
"Come with me."
It's my favorite voice in my memory. It's cold and cold, but it carries an inexplicable tenderness.
Xia Xi smelled the familiar scent of pine wood, and she knew who it was.
She hid in Shen Yuqing's arms and followed his steps to the passenger seat. The door opened and Xia Xi sat in the car blankly.
Shen Yuqing closed the door, turned around and sat in the driver's seat. He did not drive immediately, but took out a new towel placed in the car and prepared to hand it to Xia Xi.
He caught a glimpse of the girl lowering her head, with water droplets hanging on her long eyelashes. She blinked gently, and the water droplets fell on the already soaked skirt, exuding a depressing aura.
Shen Yuqing's heart suddenly hurt, and her thin lips pursed into a straight line.
"Xia Xi?"
Xia Xi raised her head and looked at him, her eyes drooping in a daze.
She just looked at him without saying a word, her face expressionless.
Shen Yuqing was so panicked by her stare that she moved her lips and without saying a word, she pulled out a few tissues to wipe the rain off her face.
His movements were very gentle, for fear of damaging her fragile body.
He didn't even dare to look into her eyes, but he wiped her plain face carefully.
Then he took a towel to wipe her wet hair. His action of wiping her hair seemed very skillful, as if he had done this many times.
But no, he used to often help Xia Xi wipe her hair, dry her hair, and comb her hair.
I don't know if it's because of the cold or something else, but Xia Xi's lips are extremely pale, her pretty face has no color at all, and her eyes are slightly red, trying to hold back something.
Xia Xi's eyes never left him.
Shen Yuqing lowered his eyes and saw her hands tightly clasped together, with blue blood vessels clearly visible.
He turned on the heating. He wanted to hold her hand and give her warmth, but he still controlled his inner thoughts and chose to ignore it.
"Where is your home? I will take you back."
Xia Xi bit her lip with her teeth, her heart aching terribly.
"Shen Yuqing."
She didn't call him Teacher Shen, but called him by his first name.
Shen Yuqing turned her eyes sideways, waiting for what she was going to say next.
Xia Xi said: "I won't go back."
When she was caught in the rain just now, she wished she had a super power and could fly home, but now that she saw her, she didn't want to go back.
Shen Yuqing didn't ask her the reason, but just said hello.
The car started, and the two of them stopped making any sound. It was extremely quiet inside the car, and there was the sound of rain pouring outside.
Shen Yuqing took Xia Xi to the apartment where he lived.
Xia Xi followed him all the way, her breath low. After entering the apartment, Shen Yuqing went to the kitchen, and when she came out, she had hot tea in her hand.
"Be careful of burning."
Xia Xi took it without even saying thank you, as if it was a matter of course.
She regarded this place as her own home, and even though she was still wet, she sat down on the sofa without even thinking about it.
Of course Shen Yuqing wouldn't mind. He asked Xia Xi to sit first while he went back to the room to get his things.
Xia Xi held the water cup, and the temperature of the cup warmed her palms, which finally warmed her cold heart.
She looked around. The apartment was large, but there were not many things. The sofa was located in the center of the living room. The environment was clean and beautiful, luxurious and stylish.
"Would you like to take a shower?"
Shen Yuqing asked as soon as she left the room.
Xia Xi glanced at him defensively, and Shen Yuqing couldn't help but smile, afraid that he would eat her?
"Don't think too much, your hair must be dried in time. Wearing wet clothes will make you uncomfortable."
Her body was sticky and her hair was wet. Xia Xi was indeed very uncomfortable.
Xia Xi opened her teeth slightly and whispered two words.
"clothing."
his.
Shen Yuqing's eyes were filled with tenderness, and her voice became softer unconsciously.
"Let's go."
Xia Xi stood up obediently and followed him to the room.
Shen Yuqing had just entered the room and found a new set of clothes. She just needed to give them to Xia Xi.
Xia Xi pulled it, yes, pulled it from his hand, her movements breathy.
"The bathroom is inside."
Xia Xiying didn't even respond. She passed him with her clothes and walked towards the bathroom, closing the door hard.
"boom--"
Shen Yuqing shook his head silently. Her temper was really getting worse day by day. How could she glare at him and say harsh words before.
(I just want to say one thing: You are the one who got used to it╮( ̄▽ ̄"")╭)
The sound of running water sounded in the bathroom, and Shen Yuqing raised the corners of her lips and laughed.
The refrigerator door opened, he took out the ginger, washed it and prepared to make a cup of ginger tea for Xia Xi.
Xiao Nizi is not in good health. It will be difficult if she catches a cold tomorrow.
The ginger tea has been brewed, but the sound of water in the bathroom has not stopped yet.
It looks like we have to wait a while. Xia Xi always takes a long time to take a bath. I'm afraid it will take longer today.
With nothing to do, Shen Yuqing made Xia Xi a small bowl of ginger milk.
Xia Xi "forced" him to do these jobs.
Another ten minutes passed, and Xia Xi finally walked out of the bathroom. If she didn't come out, Shen Yuqing would go in.
"Why don't you wipe your hair?"
Seeing her walking out with wet hair, Shen Yuqing frowned.
"No towels."
"..."
Shen Yuqing was 100% sure that he had put a towel beside him just now.
Okay, let him get it.
"I don't want to move."
So you know what I mean?
Xia Xi actually didn't know if Shen Yuqing could understand the meaning of her words.
Shen Yuqing looked helpless, but he still wiped her hair himself. As he wiped it, his eyes gradually became filled with fondness.
Xia Xi stood stiffly in front of him, the suspicion in her heart getting stronger.
After wiping until there was no more water dripping, Xia Xi didn't give an "order" yet, so he asked proactively with great insight.
"Want to blow?"
Xia Xi nodded, and Shen Yuqing brought a hair dryer to help her dry her hair.
His slender fingers were intertwined in her hair, once and for all. He was worried that he might accidentally pull her hair, so he moved very gently.
