Shi Yi's heart suddenly softened into water, and he wanted to rub Fu Shitian into his body.
The two of them were intimate and tender for a long time before they completely calmed down and went to take a shower together wrapped in bath towels. Because it was the bathroom of the homestay, the sanitary conditions were not as reliable as at home, so the two of them took a very formal shower and only took a quick dip.
Shi Yi asked Fu Shitian to finish the story that had just been interrupted, and Fu Shitian did not refuse.
"Because my parents never got married, I never had a household registration and couldn't go to a public kindergarten. My mother asked a lot of people for help and finally got me into the private kindergarten where I met you later."
Shi Yi pondered: "Then... why did you suddenly decide to transfer schools?"
It was so hard to get into the kindergarten, and you give up so easily
Fu Shitian paused while wiping Shi Yi's hair, then answered nonchalantly, "Because life was too hard. Before you came, I was often bullied by other children in the kindergarten. After being beaten with you that time, my mother collapsed. She didn't want me to live like this with her anymore, so she sent me to my grandmother's house in Ningcheng."
Shi Yi's breathing became heavier. She wanted to speak, but before she could speak, Fu Shitian called her hesitantly, "Shi Yi..."
Shi Yi encouraged her with his eyes.
Fu Shitian opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't. "Nothing." She smiled and shook her head.
Shi Yi's eyes dimmed, but she didn't force her. She held down Fu Shitian's hand that was wiping her hair, took the towel from her hand, and helped Fu Shitian wipe the wet hair roots. Then she continued, "So, later on, your grandmother registered your household registration at your uncle's house, and you grew up at your uncle's house?"
"Um."
"After that, didn't Auntie come back to see you?"
Fu Shitian said: "I never saw her again. I only found out after we met again that she came back later. At first she was afraid that the debt collectors would follow her and find my grandmother, my uncle and others, affecting their normal lives, so she didn't dare to come back. Later, when I was in sixth grade, she paid off her debts and barely lived a better life. She came to Ningcheng to find me, but at that time I was already living with my uncle and aunt. My grandmother told her that I was living a good life, and that all the bad things in the past had been forgotten. I have a complete family and a normal living environment. She asked her not to come back to disturb me and not to bring back the pain and shadows."
"She secretly went to school to see me. She saw me playing games with my classmates and friends on the playground during physical education class. We seemed to be getting along well and happily. So she believed it and left quietly."
"After that, she went north to develop her career, met a noble man and my stepfather, and her life became busy, so time passed quickly. After that, the longer time passed, the more she dared not touch this scar again, and the less she dared to come back to find me."
Shi Yi dried her hair, wiped her body, and applied lotion: "Then how did you meet?"
Fu Shitian felt something, stretched his legs, and said in a dry voice: "I'll do it myself."
Shi Yi paused, then noticed the redness at the corners of her eyes, and a smile instantly filled her eyes. She maliciously refused to give it to him, and deliberately made her movements slower and softer.
Fu Shitian leaned his hands on the sink, his voice a little unstable: "Shi Yi..." He sounded aggrieved, or like he was acting coquettish, and even the ups and downs of his breath precisely matched the rhythm of Shi Yi's heartbeat.
Shi Yi's throat slid, and she felt itchy and satisfied. She found that Fu Shitian had really grown up. When she acted like a spoiled child before, she was more delicate and soft, and lovable, but now she was more charming. Her every frown and smile, every gesture and movement was full of charm, and she was unconsciously teasing. But the conditions were limited, and she didn't want to make Fu Shitian uncomfortable.
"Okay, do it yourself." She pretended to let her go, moved her feet calmly, suppressed her feelings, and turned her attention away: "You haven't answered my question yet."
Fu Shitian applied skin care lotion, her blushing cheeks faded a little, and she answered softly: "Later, she estimated that my father might be released from prison soon, and she was still worried about him, so she came back to find me."
Shi Yi noticed her depressed mood and asked tentatively: "Do you... hate her?" In fact, she didn't think so. In the past, Fu Shitian rarely mentioned family matters, but when she occasionally mentioned her mother, she always spoke in a very intimate tone.
Sure enough, Fu Shitian shook his head and said, "No."
"Actually, I've always missed her. Knowing that she's doing well, I'm happier than anyone else." Fu Shitian finished applying the lotion, stood up and looked at Shi Yi, biting her lip, as if a thousand words were surging in her heart, and finally condensed into one sentence: "I just don't know how to face her or how to get along with her."
She was afraid that being too close would affect her mother's current family life, and she felt that she was not worthy of her mother's deep and unreserved love. The more her mother loved her and the more she felt sorry for her, the more guilty she felt. She was the one who abandoned her mother. However, she couldn't muster up the courage to confess.
As a result, the relationship between the two has become as stalemate as it is now.
Shi Yi thought that she just hadn't been in such a close relationship with her mother for too long and was not used to it. She rubbed her hair and comforted her: "It's okay, take your time, let it go naturally, don't force yourself."
Fu Shitian forced a smile and replied, "Okay." She put on her nightgown, and seeing that Shi Yi had also applied body lotion, she cheered herself up, took Shi Yi's nightgown, and motioned for her to raise her hands.
Shi Yi's eyes rippled, and he raised his hands obediently, letting her put on his nightgown, and then took him back to the room: "Okay, let's go to bed."
Leaving a small light on, Shi Yi and Fu Shitian said good night to each other, then rested their heads on the same pillow and slept under the same quilt.
Their bodies were actually extremely tired, but the two of them held each other for a long time and could not fall asleep.
"Come, come." Shi Yi knew that Fu Shitian was not asleep yet, and suddenly spoke in a low voice.
Fu Shitian opened his eyes and responded softly, "Hmm?"
Shi Yi's eyelashes trembled, and he wrapped his arms around Fu Shitian tighter. He said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I didn't hug you like this at that time."
Fu Shitian was stunned. All the grievances and heartbreaks she had experienced seemed to be brought back to her mind by this sentence, and then, they were all smoothed out by this sentence. Her eyes suddenly became misty, and then, she leaned closer and kissed Shi Yi's forehead, revealing an even brighter smile.
enough.
Being able to hear Shi Yi's words of sympathy, there was nothing else she could not let go of.
"It's okay." She responded tenderly with a slightly nasal tone.
Shi Yi looked at her deeply, her heart aching and soft. She bent her arm that was resting on Fu Shitian's head, gently stroked Fu Shitian's hair, softened her eyes and said, "It does matter. Punish me."
Fu Shitian was confused: "Huh?"
"I will be punished by being your human pillow every night. I will hold you while I sleep."
Fu Shitian's eyes sparkled with laughter, and he blushed and said to her, "Isn't this a reward?"
Shi Yi was also moved to smile. She nuzzled Fu Shitian's nose and said with some regret: "You seem to have become smarter."
Fu Shitian chuckled, dissatisfied as his breath lingered: "You don't seem to be praising me."
Shi Yi gave a pleasant laugh and did not make any excuses.
The two of them were whispering to each other, and no one knew how long they had been talking, where they had been talking to, or who had stopped first. Sleepiness overwhelmed their minds, and the two of them hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep.
It was the most sound and sweet sleep I had in six years.
It was bright in the sky, and the morning sun was shining on them when Shi Yi and Fu Shitian woke up with sleepy eyes. The alarm clock had been turned off at some point, and the hour hand had already pointed to nine o'clock.
Finished. I wonder if Xizhu and Fanlu came up to look for them.
Fu Shitian and Shi Yi both felt a little embarrassed after realizing it belatedly. Fu Shitian picked up her pillow, told Shi Yi that she was going back to her room to get some clothes, and tiptoed out, hoping that Chen Xizhu and Yin Fanlu were still asleep and hadn't discovered that she had spent the night in Shi Yi's room.
Unexpectedly, after she opened the door and took two steps, Chen Xizhu appeared from the stairs.
She was dressed neatly, and it was obvious that she had been up for a while. When their eyes met, Fu Shitian blushed before she spoke, and Chen Xizhu's mouth was almost stretched to her ears.
"Awake?" Chen Xizhu greeted.
Fu Shitian hugged the pillow, regretting it too late. She gritted her teeth and responded naturally: "Well, you got up so early."
Chen Xizhu said, "It's getting late. The breakfast time at the B&B has passed. Did you guys sleep very late last night?"
Fu Shitian's ears felt hot, and he responded unnaturally: "Yeah, we talked for a while longer."
Chen Xizhu didn't give him any face at all, with an expression that said, "I don't trust you at all," and he said "hmm" in a long, roundabout way, with deep meaning: "I understand, I understand."
Fu Shitian wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Chen Xizhu refused to let her go and continued to ask: "Where is Shi Yi? Is he still sleeping?"
Fu Shitian replied: "No, I got up too."
Chen Xizhu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can you still drive?"
Fu Shitian was puzzled: "Ah?"
Chen Xizhu couldn't help laughing, and said in a voice that was a little louder than usual: "I'm afraid her legs will become weak."
Shi Yi had only heard vaguely, but when this sentence suddenly came into his ears, he froze while sitting on the bed and pinching his legs, and his face suddenly became hot all the way to his neck. Chen Xizhu, this narrow-minded guy, was too arrogant!
She gritted her teeth, got out of bed expressionlessly and opened the door.
"Teacher Chen, why are you so energetic so early in the morning? I heard some noise downstairs at around 2 o'clock last night. Did Sister Lu work until that time?" She looked Chen Xizhu up and down, staring at Chen Xizhu's collarbone, with a smile on her face.
Chen Xizhu's face suddenly changed, and he felt so guilty that he wanted to lower his head to check immediately. Damn, is the sound insulation so bad
Afraid that Shi Yi would say something even more embarrassing, Chen Xizhu immediately admitted his mistake, showing a harmless and well-behaved appearance, and said, "Ah, since you are all up, I will go downstairs and ask Lulu to order food."
After saying this, without waiting for Fu Shitian and Shi Yi to react, he covered his collarbone and rubbed oil on the soles of his feet.
Fu Shitian couldn't help laughing, and Shi Yi couldn't hold it in either.
Fu Shitian was curious: "Did you really hear any noise?" She didn't hear anything.
Shi Yi smiled and said, "No. I lied to her." It was yesterday when she opened the curtains to get some fresh air that she saw a beam of light reflected on the river surface—Chen Xizhu and Yin Fanlu were still awake.
Fu Shitian laughed. After she finished laughing, she bit her lip and looked at Shi Yi with twinkling eyes, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Shi Yi was surprised: "What's wrong?"
Fu Shitian pinched the pillow in his arms and asked softly, "Are you... feeling uncomfortable?"
Last night, Shi Yi was indeed a little... too sensitive. It seemed... that he was easily uncomfortable.
Shi Yi's smile froze on her face. "It's not uncomfortable." She enunciated each word with great emphasis.
Fu Shitian was worried: "Otherwise I'll drive."
Shi Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Fu Shitian quietly.
Fu Shitian clenched her pillow tightly to try to hold back her laughter, but her eyes still betrayed her.
Shi Yi kept a tense expression and stopped looking at her. He turned around and went straight into the bathroom and closed the door. She heard Fu Shitian smiling and coaxing her outside the door, with a smile still on his face.
Maybe it's been too long since I went to the gym. She pressed her sore waist and thought to herself: No, I have to pick it up again.
