After going back at night, the two went back to their own rooms.
But Zhou Yizhi tossed and turned on the bed wrapped in the quilt, but actually couldn't fall asleep at all.
During the day, I was shocked that my brother was born again, and I was nervous about the confession, and my attention was all on what my brother said, "give her seven days to think about it", so that at night, my head was empty, and I began to think about the past. Some details, and feel extremely ashamed.
If the elder brother is also reborn, then he should know that he is not drunk for a thousand cups, so what would he think if he used the excuse of being drunk to pretend to be crazy, wrapped around his waist and kissed and hugged him? !
Zhou Yizhi pulled the pillow out from under his head and buried it on his face, so ashamed and angry that he wanted to smother himself to death.
These shameful overturning incidents are secondary.
At most, he was so embarrassed that his toes wanted to curl up.
Zhou Yizhi understood that although she and Xue Xi had talked about it, there was still an unresolved issue between her and Xue Xi.
Unlike those lovers who are attracted to each other and finally have a happy ending, there is a not-so-good previous life between them.
The memories of the previous life are all bad pictures.
So in this life, even if she told him that she likes him, the credibility of this liking is still not high.
The brother felt that she was acting out of guilt.
And she herself, in fact, did not fully understand what her feelings for him were.
But no matter what it is, there is only one thing that Zhou Yizhi can't be more certain about, she can't lose him in this life.
Zhou Yizhi couldn't fall asleep, in fact Xue Xi didn't close his eyes either.
He lay quietly with his head resting on his arms, his eyes on the ceiling. A little moonlight seeping through the curtains fell on his face, with clear outlines.
There was a tiny light in his eyes, shining with radiance.
The word "like" she said in the evening still lingers in his ears, making him feel unreal.
It was something he had never imagined that the two of them could get to this point now. What he had expected was actually walking towards him bit by bit. So let alone waiting seven days, he can wait another year, two years.
He is willing to wait until she slowly discerns her true heart.
The end of the confession was like this. I couldn't fall asleep until four o'clock in the morning, and my heartbeat was still fast. It was easier to recall some details of the day late at night, and I recalled some expressions on Xue Xi's handsome face.
It was the first time in Zhou Yizhi's life that he experienced this feeling.
Why is it that I toss and turn and can't fall asleep when I am clearly the dominant one
What about the elder brother who is separated by two walls, could it be that he tossed and turned by himself, and the deer bumped wildly, but he fell asleep? !
Zhou Yizhi thumped the pillow and smashed his face into it.
Another half hour passed.
She was extremely exhausted physically, but her spirit was still aroused and she couldn't fall asleep.
Looking at the aromatherapy lamp by the bedside, and at the sky outside which seemed to be about to light up, Zhou Yizhi lifted the quilt resentfully, and went downstairs to pour some water with a thirsty mouth.
…
As soon as he walked down the stairs lightly, he saw a tall young boy standing over the sink.
Xue Xi was leaning on the water table, unscrewing the mineral water bottle, drinking water with his head up, only the faint moonlight cast from the French window, the line of his Adam's apple was very beautiful.
"Brother, what are you doing here?" Zhou Yizhi walked over and immediately realized——
He can't sleep either!
Zhou Yizhi immediately felt refreshed. It seemed that she was not the only one who couldn't sleep late at night and had a dry mouth.
Xue Xi turned around, took a look at her, and immediately went to the entrance to pick up a pair of cotton slippers, walked up to her, and put them at her feet, "Why did you come down without slippers?"
Only then did Zhou Yizhi realize that he came down with bare feet.
"Hot." She supported Xue Xi's arm and stepped into the slippers.
Only then did Xue Xi lower his voice and ask, "What's the matter, didn't you fall asleep?"
Zhou Yizhi didn't want to admit that he didn't fall asleep because of the confession, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "I fell asleep. I was suddenly thirsty just now and woke up."
Xue Xi rubbed her head: "I'll bring you a bottle of water."
He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it over. Zhou Yizhi walked to the water table with parched mouth, picked up a bottle of water and drank a couple of gulps.
She didn't seem to realize that Xue Xi had just drunk this bottle, Xue Xi was startled for a moment.
After drinking the water, the two went upstairs together and stood at the door of Zhou Yizhi's room. Xue Xi said to her, "Good night."
Zhou Yizhi grabbed the doorknob, but she didn't want to go in that much. She looked up at the wall clock in the corridor. The hour hand had already turned to 5:00 in the morning. Today, the class organized a winter outing. Now that the snow has stopped, there should be no delay. Yes, then I have to get up at eight o'clock to pack my schoolbag and have breakfast.
Only three hours to sleep.
But she couldn't sleep at all.
In this way, there is no energy to climb the mountain during the day, and maybe you will fall asleep halfway.
She stood still at the door.
Xue Xi seemed to be aware of it, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yizhi lowered his head and honestly admitted: "Actually, I can't sleep."
Xue Xi said: "Please ask for leave. I won't go to school today. I'll call your class teacher for you."
Zhou Yizhi looked at him, feeling a little itchy, and whispered, "It's not a question of whether to ask for leave, the point is, I can't sleep. Even if I take a day off during the day and lie in bed all day, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep."
Xue Xi leaned over slightly, supported his knee with one hand, raised the other hand, covered her eyes with warm fingertips, rubbed her eye sockets lightly, and asked softly: "Why can't I sleep, can you? Have you had coffee before bed?"
For the first time, Zhou Yizhi was scratched by his gentle and worried tone, and she blushed a little. She broke the jar and said, "Why can't I fall asleep? You don't know whether it's true or not. You just finished confessing your love, how can you sleep? Big brother, don't you?" Can't sleep at all?"
Xue Xi was stunned, he really didn't expect Zhou Yizhi to be unable to sleep because of this reason.
In other words, he always felt that Zhou Yizhi was quite relaxed, as if he was making fun of him, and he was so cunning, but he was deeply trapped.
But she said she couldn't fall asleep either, and her mind was completely disturbed.
Seeing that Xue Xi hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhou Yizhi raised his head, but for some reason, he saw a smile in Xue Xi's eyes.
He looked down at himself, the corners of his eyes were soft, and the corners of his eyes were smiling because he got something precious that he never thought he could have, and his heart was full of joy, which was about to overflow.
It was extremely rare for Zhou Yizhi to feel a little uncomfortable when he saw him.
It's just like that, is he happy just because he's distracted
Some things were supposed to be said after seven days, because in these seven days he had to confirm his feelings for his brother, but Zhou Yizhi couldn't wait to say it earlier.
She suddenly blushed and said, "This is the first time I'm in love."
Xue Xi said, "Me too."
Zhou Yizhi said: "Although it is said that I will give you an official reply after seven days, but I have a request during these seven days."
Xue Xi said "hmm".
Zhou Yizhi said: "You promise me first, agree to my request unconditionally, and I will talk about it later."
Xue Xi smiled and said, "Okay, tell me."
Zhou Yizhi put his hands behind his back, looked up at him, and said, "You are not allowed to look at other girls too much, especially for activities such as winter outings. There are probably girls from other classes besides the class. Poke your eyes. Also, don’t dislike me, don’t think my last request was unreasonable.”
"Those seem to be three requirements." Xue Xi said, but with a smile on his eyes and eyebrows, he agreed: "Okay."
Zhou Yizhi was satisfied, and he was in a happy mood. He couldn't fall asleep at first, but now he felt a little drowsy because he let go of something on his mind.
She looked at the boy in pajamas in front of her, perhaps because of the weak moonlight in the corridor, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle.
Zhou Yizhi said: "I still can't sleep, how about..."
Xue Xi looked at her and motioned for her to continue.
Zhou Yizhi jumped on him, wrapped his arms around his neck, wrapped his legs around him, Xue Xi was caught off guard and subconsciously caught him.
Zhou Yizhi was unscrupulous, licked his lips and said, "Why don't we sleep together, I should be able to sleep with you in my arms."
Xue Xi: ...
Last time when she was drunk, she crawled onto his bed, as if unconscious, his whole body was tense, and it only passed the whole night, but now they are both sober, and if they sleep together, no matter what—Xue Xi doesn't want to be with her. Before she could figure out what was going on in her heart, she took advantage of her danger.
He said, "Well, you go back to your room."
Zhou Yizhi: "What about you?"
Xue Xi said: "I'm not going either, I'll sit next to you, okay?"
"No." Zhou Yizhi said: "The last time I hugged you to sleep, I slept soundly." She raised her head, showing a pitiful expression: "Brother, can you bear the heart that I won't be able to go winter outing during the day, or go I went on a winter outing, but I was listless."
Xue Xi wanted to say something else, but Zhou Yizhi kissed the corner of his mouth, blocking his words.
Xue Xi's ears turned red, and he supported her vigorously with both arms.
Zhou Yizhi said: "Sleeping together, this is the fourth requirement."
Xue Xi: "...Didn't you just say one request? How did one become four?"
Zhou Yizhi wanted to cry: "Didn't you say you agreed unconditionally? There are only four, so you can't do it?"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Xi hugged her, opened the door of his room, and gently put her on the bed. He put his hands on both sides of her ears, sighed, and said, "I just—"
"I know, you think that I can't tell the difference between guilt and liking, and I'm worried that if I'm so close to you now, I'll regret it in the future." Zhou Yizhi's black hair was parted, with water in his eyes, and he looked at him tenderly: "But I I won't regret it."
"I can't tell the difference between liking and guilt for the time being, and I can't give you an answer right away, but I know one thing very well."
Xue Xi asked hoarsely, "What?"
"I want to be with you forever." Zhou Yizhi put his arms around his waist: "I think, I can't leave you."
Because there is no second person in the world who will agree to her request unconditionally.
"So, no matter what emotion I have, whether it's guilt towards you, possessiveness towards you, or any emotion that evolves, brother, don't let me go."
This request was actually very selfish, but Zhou Yizhi heard Xue Xi say to her, "Okay."
