Wen Jialuo started to pick up Xu Shiqi again.
Recently, the two of them had different meal times, but this morning they sat at the same table. However, there were other people at the table, including Wen Yu.
Because there was a pregnant woman and a person with stomach problems, the breakfast was very rich and nutritious. But Xu Shiqi didn't feel much when she ate it. She didn't look up much, and tried to avoid the eyes that fell on her from time to time. After a night, she was still deeply trapped in the fact that the two people might be interested in each other. Today, when she got up and started walking, she walked with one foot higher than the other.
When you want something, it takes a long time to arrive, which makes you anxious; but when it arrives unexpectedly, you will panic and find it difficult to face it. This kind of sad indecision makes Xu Shiqi hate herself so much that she can't face people like her.
After breakfast, Wen Jialuo went out first. Xu Shiqi tried not to care, but still let her eyes follow her for a while. But she didn't expect that when she went out, it was the girl's car parked in front of her, and the door was wide open.
When he lowered his head, he saw a familiar face again. This time Xu Shiqi did not refuse. He leaned down and sat down, then turned his head away, his eyes still with a sour look.
"Do we have to go to the store today?" Wen Jialuo asked her without driving.
Xu Shiqi turned around.
Wen Jialuo's fingers kept stroking the steering wheel, his eyes wandering slightly: "I know there's a good cafe, do you want to go and sit down?"
"…Didn't you just have breakfast?" The girl seemed a little nervous, which immediately spread to Xu Shiqi. She was slightly surprised. Was she the one who was so calm and composed last night and made her feel emotional
"Oh." Wen Jialuo responded in a low voice, and then said slowly, "Then where are we going?"
Xu Shiqi's mouth was dry: "Or... send me to the store."
Wen Jialuo pursed her lips and said nothing.
When the car stopped in front of the store, Xu Shiqi was not sure whether the girl would get out or not, but before she could make a wild guess, the car reversed on the spot and shot away for a long distance.
Xu Shiqi stared blankly, and almost at the same time, a fire in her heart made a "bang" sound. But could she blame the girl? Yesterday, she could find an excuse to deliberately say that to the girl to vent her emotions, but today she could no longer do so.
The fire flickered, and finally even the ashes were buried.
Wen Jialuo fell in love with me
Such questions made Xu Shiqi distracted for the whole day. As the questions gradually magnified in her mind, she suddenly lost sight of all other questions and only recalled every intimate action and look of the girl, things she had never seen or pretended not to see.
So that's how it was. That's how she felt unwilling to give up. She wasn't the only one sinking, she wanted to be with him. But this would only make her sink faster, so fast that her heart would speed up and go out of control at any moment.
Although she rejected Wen Jialuo's invitation in the morning, Xu Shiqi still inexplicably hoped to see her push the door open, or listen for the phone to ring, but until the afternoon, she only expected the full-time driver to show up. The driver was startled by the sound of her high heels, carrying her bag, and wondering why Miss Xu was so angry today, with a gloomy face.
After returning to the old house, as soon as I entered the room, I heard Wen Baohua's voice.
When he opened the door, an apple appeared in front of him. Wen Baohua said with a smile, "I'm here to apologize to you."
Xu Shiqi took the apple, a little puzzled: "What kind of crime are you paying for?"
"Jia Luo said you only wear high heels, and I just wanted to help you relax your feet, but I ended up depriving you of this right."
"Listen to her nonsense." Xu Shiqi laughed and let her into the room.
Wen Baohua handed over another shoe box with his other hand: "Well, this is the result of our work today. You can take it."
Xu Shiqi opened the box and found that it was indeed the same pair as the previous pair, but with hand-painted patterns.
Wen Baohua pointed to the unknown flower that looked like Van Gogh's sunflower and said, "This is the result of Jia Luo's one-day work. She is too embarrassed to give it to her, so I am running errands for her."
"She drew it herself?" Xu Shiqi was a little surprised. He reached out to touch the flower. The scene of the girl clumsily drawing with her head down appeared in front of him. Ugh, you can't laugh...
"It's really strange to say that." Wen Baohua tilted his head and looked at her, "At the beginning, I thought you two were not getting along, how come you suddenly became so good?"
"… How could that be?" Xu Shiqi's eyes flickered, and he said vaguely while chewing on an apple seed, "Didn't you notice that I get along well with everyone in your family?"
"That's true." Wen Baohua was tired of talking, so he found a place to sit down, "So I should have brought you here to play a long time ago."
Xu Shiqi was distracted by what he heard for a moment. He wondered if he would have had a different experience if he had known Wen Jialuo earlier.
After eating the apple, Xu Shiqi put on new shoes. She was a little surprised that she had never seen Wen Jialuo study her shoes. How could he buy the right shoes? She thought she didn't have the ability to do so. The new shoes were a little hard. She walked around the room a few times and found that they rubbed her heels a little. However, this did not affect her mood to wear them. They became softer with every step.
It was completely different from the last pair of shoes I wore. Maybe that was the reason for the change in my mood.
Wen Baohua and I went to the old lady's room. Wen Jialuo was already there. Her eyes immediately fell on Xu Shiqi's feet, and she teased him slightly: "You are willing to wear such ugly shoes?"
Xu Shiqi opened his eyes wide: "You dare to give me such ugly shoes, why don't you dare to wear them?"
"Haha." Wen Baohua laughed at the side, "I thought you two were really in harmony, but it turns out you can still quarrel like this."
"Who quarreled with her?"
"What's the quarrel?"
Xu Shiqi and Wen Jialuo spoke at the same time, and then both laughed.
Watching Wen Jialuo turn around and talk softly to the old lady, Xu Shiqi's heart gradually calmed down. The things that had troubled her for many days were slowly disappearing, but she was powerless to stop it. What was this now? She was obviously not in a state of love, but she had the sweetness of love. She knew she was not ready yet, but she seemed to have accepted it. Fortunately, all the girl's reactions were natural, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with it.
The old lady was also very interested in the shoes on Xu Shiqi's feet, so she asked her to come closer and lift them up to look at them. It was always difficult to stand on one leg, especially since someone had complained about her sense of balance. But when she was twisting and turning, Wen Jialuo kindly reached out to help her. That hand was like magnetism, sticking to her and not leaving any space. Xu Shiqi couldn't just pull her hand away, so she could only be held tightly.
This is not what I hold, it's you... Xu Shiqi was still struggling, but he didn't know that his strength was getting weaker and weaker, and he was about to lose resistance.
Wen Baohua always went to bed early, so he left first. After the old lady fell asleep, Xu Shiqi and Wen Jialuo left, and then the latter stood in front of the former's door again without moving.
Xu Shiqi's heartbeat quickened. After the words were spoken, some things could no longer be concealed. Wen Jialuo seemed to be more restrained before, but now she was a bit open and exposed, almost without any cover-up. She had clearly vowed to wait there, but looking at her actions, there was no trace of intrusion. Xu Shiqi understood, but still opened the door and let her in.
Wen Jialuo sat casually on the bedside as soon as she entered: "You go ahead and do your thing, I'll just sit for a while and leave."
Xu Shiqi was speechless, and really ignored her. She took her clothes and went to take a shower. She hoped that when she came back, she would see the girl had returned to her room, but she also hoped that she had not left. This contradictory mood made Xu Shiqi unwilling to face it. She tilted her head towards the shower, but she couldn't get rid of the mess of thoughts in her mind.
Wrapped in cotton pajamas, Xu Shiqi dried her hair before returning to her room. After opening the door, she found the room dark. She stood there for a while before taking another step, but she felt empty as if she had stepped into nothingness.
It was just that the room was warm, which made her feel a little better.
However, when she turned on the light and saw the figure lying on the bed, a thousand feelings were churning in her heart.
She approached gently and saw Wen Jialuo lying face down with one cheek against the quilt, as if she had been asleep for a long time. No matter from which angle you look at it, it is a body without any curves. Just looking at it like this, Xu Shiqi also reflected on why she was obsessed with this person. Thinking back to the beginning, maybe the feeling only came a little bit, so she struggled alertly. But she didn't expect that the more he struggled, the tighter he was tied, until he saw her, as nervous and eager as if he couldn't breathe.
Xu Shiqi's fingers itched slightly. She actually wanted to measure every inch of this person with her own hands, wanting to know why she abused herself like that. She no longer believed that it was because she had a crush on a senior brother. In fact, she could vaguely guess the real reason.
"Jia Luo..." Xu Shiqi bent down and called softly.
The girl was still sleeping soundly, unaware that anyone was disturbing her.
Xu Shiqi held her breath. She and the girl were so close that they could exchange breath and smell. She gently raised her knees and knelt beside Wen Jialuo, then leaned down a little, almost enveloping the girl in her arms.
Perhaps it was a strand of her hair that brushed Wen Jialuo's cheek, causing her sleeping face to frown slightly. She suddenly turned over and lay face up, presenting a beautiful look to Xu Shiqi's eyes.
Xu Shiqi's body swayed, and when she noticed her movement, she wanted to retreat, but her eyes betrayed her and she only remembered to stare at that person.
If he lowered himself a little, he could kiss her. Her lips were cool and thin, but curved into a beautiful curve.
Xu Shiqi felt that the temperature seemed a little high. She turned her head to look at the air conditioner to dispel the lustful thought in her mind.
"Jia Luo..." Xu Shiqi called her again.
The person who was called was still sleeping soundly.
Xu Shiqi fell back, sat on his legs, and looked at her quietly.
So close, so close... She still didn't dare to think seriously about the proposition left by the girl. What she wanted and what she didn't want was something she didn't need to think about. She had made the decision a long time ago. But now it seemed that she was going to turn around, and her heart was still so uneasy. She was a few years older than the girl, and probably because of this, she lacked many things she didn't dare to have, things she also desired but couldn't ask for.
If only it could stay like this forever, neither too close nor too far. Xu Shiqi slowly leaned over and approached again. Judging from his visual observation, the distance between his thumb and index finger was only about seventeen centimeters.
Unfortunately, who can really achieve the stability of being as calm as a still pond? Life is full of gatherings and separations, waxing and waning, and is either near or far. This is probably what life is like.
"Go back to sleep." Xu Shiqi sat there blankly and said softly.
The person lying there did not move for a long time, then suddenly turned over and faced her with his back.
Seeing her lying on the bed like this, Xu Shiqi felt helpless. Sure enough, this was like a child's trick. The girl, wearing only a single layer of clothes, exposed her frail self in front of her without reservation. The clavicle that once made her heart beat made her try her best to control the urge to kiss it; but now what was opened to her was a slightly curled back, like a thin bow with an arc that could be easily broken.
Xu Shiqi forced his eyes away from the bow and asked with bated breath: "Do you want to spend the night here?"
The girl responded by rubbing the quilt beneath her with her feet. She then turned around and finally touched the edge of the quilt. She then reached out and pulled, and her whole body disappeared into the quilt.
What about the girl who mercilessly threw her on the sofa to spend the night
Xu Shiqi looked at the girl's childish behavior with a helpless smile, but his heart was still as soft as a gentle lake.
There was a long sofa in the room, but she didn't want to put herself in such a difficult position. She tilted her head and thought about it. It's not like they haven't slept together before, and it doesn't mean anything. She got out of bed, turned off the light, and then groped her way back to bed.
As soon as her head touched the pillow, a breath of air lingered up and approached her ear. But that was all. The girl who cunningly and shamelessly stayed on her bed did not speak or make any more movements, as if everything before was just for such a distance.
Xu Shiqi's body was slightly stiff, waiting, and then she gradually relaxed her nerves during this waiting, so much so that she couldn't remember when she fell asleep. It was just that when she woke up in the middle of the night and turned on the bedside lamp and saw the sleeping face of the girl next to her, she was filled with an unprecedented sense of happiness.
