It was a very peaceful sleep, and Xia Zhiye felt like he didn’t even dream.
It was not until a strange feeling of being watched appeared that Xia Zhiye opened his eyes, and then he saw a pretty and lovely face, and a pair of eyes that quickly closed.
The trembling eyelashes and the rolling eyeballs are silently betraying their owners.
Xia Zhiye blinked and sat up. A blanket slipped onto his legs. He picked it up thoughtfully, then looked at Li Xiaomi.
She was no longer wearing the same outfit she had worn the night before, and there was no trace of the flour on her face.
Disguise ability... obviously not up to standard.
He smiled, stood up, covered Li Xiaomi with the blanket, and looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock.
There was a nice smell coming from the kitchen, and when I walked over I saw a bowl of noodles in the pot.
The barbecued pork cut into small slices, a big fried egg, and a few slices of rapeseed are very appetizing.
He lifted the lid of the pot and took out the noodles. Xia Zhiye took a sniff and was so delicious that he started eating with a pair of chopsticks.
It took a little too long and the noodles were a little lumpy, but the taste was still perfect.
I was halfway through my meal when I heard stealthy footsteps approaching the kitchen door.
When I looked up, my eyes met Li Xiaomi's.
Obviously, you can catch a trace of panic in Li Xiaomi's eyes, and then you can see that this girl instantly changes this expression into a super fierce one!
She tilted her head and looked at Xia Zhiye with a fierce expression. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't utter a word.
Xia Zhiye blinked and said, "Morning."
“…How early is that?”
Li Xiaomi rolled her eyes: "You sleep like a pig. I couldn't wake you up even after cooking noodles for you. What did you do last night? You said you would be back in the afternoon, but I prepared such a big table of food..."
She gestured as she spoke: "But, I didn't eat a single bite. Humph, thanks to you, the two of us can fill our stomachs with just the leftovers in the next few days!"
If she doesn't want to talk, she won't talk. But once she starts talking, she can't shut up.
They criticized Xia Zhiye for not keeping his word, guessed where Xia Zhiye went last night, whether he went to pick up girls, and so on...
Xia Zhiye didn't feel annoyed when listening to this, but found it interesting. He was just more concerned about why she kept tilting her head. Taking advantage of the gap between the other party's words, he finally asked this question, but Li Xiaomi became even more depressed: "It's okay that you came back so late last night, but why didn't you wake me up? I slept in a weird position on the sofa for a whole night, and when I woke up today, my neck was stiff!"
Xia Zhiye blinked and said, "You use this 'strange posture' very well."
Before Li Xiaomi could react, he looked down at the empty bowl in his hand.
Suddenly, there was an inexplicable warmth lingering in my heart...
Like a vague shadow, it suddenly had a place to stay.
Someone here will know about his return, prepare a large table of food for him, and wait for him until he falls asleep.
Even if he had a stiff neck, she would still prepare a delicious breakfast for him.
For a moment, Xia Zhiye looked at Li Xiaomi and didn't know what to say. Something strange was brewing deep in his heart.
This is... the first time in my life!
However, Li Xiaomi was not very aware of his inner thoughts. She just noticed that Xia Zhiye was staring at her, and for some reason she couldn't say what she had originally planned to say.
I always feel that Xia Zhiye’s eyes are a little hot, and my face feels slightly hot.
But soon she remembered an action of Xia Zhiye before... He first looked at the bowl of noodles that had been eaten, and then stared at herself!
"Damn it!" Li Xiaomi suddenly flew into a rage: "Don't even think about it. You should wash the dishes after you finish eating, bastard!"
Xia Zhiye was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing. His shoulders shook as he laughed, and he went to wash his own bowl.
"What's so funny... psycho! Humph!"
Li Xiaomi swung her ponytail and was about to leave in style...but she forgot that she had a stiff neck.
“My neck!!”
Li Xiaomi rubbed her neck, tears streaming down her face.
A big hand gently patted her head: "Come here, I'll help you press it."
"Can you?" Li Xiaomi looked at Xia Zhiye with doubt.
"Don't look at me like this. I'm still very good at this." Xia Zhiye said proudly.
"What is there to be proud of?" Li Xiaomi wondered.
Xia Zhiye didn’t dare to say anything about other aspects, but he thought he could still brag a little about his understanding of the human body.
Under Li Xiaomi's skeptical eyes, the pain in her neck was relieved in less than five minutes.
"Eh? It really doesn't hurt anymore!"
Li Xiaomi twisted her neck in surprise. After making sure that there was no problem at all, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "With this trick, the two of us won't starve to death."
The two of us
Xia Zhiye blinked his eyes, feeling a little happy, yet inexplicably feeling as if he had become very sensitive.
Maybe the other person just said it without meaning it. Am I adding some additional meaning to his or her words which originally meant nothing
This thought flashed through his mind, and then he heard Li Xiaomi say, "What do you want to eat for lunch? As a thank you gift for your neck, I will reward you well!"
"… Thank you very much." Xia Zhiye rubbed his nose and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.
After taking it out and taking a look at it, he sighed and said, "I can't eat at home at noon."
Li Xiaomi suddenly turned around suspiciously and looked at him with a suspicious look: "What are you going to do at noon?"
"Work matters..." Xia Zhiye scratched his head: "But I will definitely be back on time in the evening."
"Well... okay then." Li Xiaomi blinked and seemed to agree reluctantly.
"By the way, can the thank-you gift for the neck be changed to tonight? I might bring back a friend." Xia Zhiye said.
"friend?"
When Li Xiaomi heard these two words, she suddenly felt nervous for some reason, and subconsciously asked, "Male or female?"
After asking, he felt something was wrong and waved his hands hurriedly: "Well, I'm not, I'm just..."
"male."
Xia Zhiye looked at the girl in front of her. She lost her original expression of suspicion and became extremely flustered. She couldn't help but said with a smile: "It's an old friend."
"Oh... what do you do?"
Li Xiaomi instantly felt her heart settle down again.
"A soldier."
Xia Zhiye stood up and said, "I'm going to change my clothes tonight... Is that okay?"
"Yes, of course."
Li Xiaomi said: "Whatever you want to eat, leave it to me!"
She patted her chest and promised. (To be continued)
