This is not quite right.
Lin You opened the collection of poems in her hands like an umbrella, and stood on the tarpaulin on the ground.
Xiao Xiao next to her was much more proficient in her movements than her. The books were arranged one by one, and the pages were stretched under the gentle sunlight.
Her side face was facing Lin You, her eyes flicked over the neat rows of books, her snow-white eyelashes fluttered slightly, from the clear and soft eyebrows to the slightly raised corners of her lips, there was a pleasant sense of relaxation.
Really... not quite right.
Lin You supported her face, her eyes fell on that relaxed smile, and her hands stopped unconsciously.
Xiao Xiao had to look back after putting down a few books, and soon realized that Lin You was distracted. Those lake-blue eyes filled with clear light, although looking at this side and reflecting her figure in, they only floated on the surface.
"..."
Holding the book in her hand, she also stopped moving.
Lin You didn't respond.
Xiao Xiao tilted her head, approached lightly, and lightly bumped Lin You's forehead with her forehead.
Seeing the surprise in the lake blue eyes that were close at hand, she immediately withdrew, covering her face with a book, revealing her slightly bent eyes.
The fleeting moment of contact is like the gentle butterfly wings passing by.
Lin You suddenly came back to her senses, and touched her forehead. It seemed that the place where she had been lightly touched still had her cool body temperature.
She looked at Xiao Xiao who was hiding behind the book, and said bluntly, "...what's wrong?"
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, the smile in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by doubts.
She put down the book, leaned forward slightly, and narrowed the distance between the two of them again. She observed Lin You's expression from bottom to top, and her eyes gradually became a little worried: "...youzi, are you out of spirit?"
Because they were very close, Xiao Xiao's soft hair fell down and covered the back of Lin You's hands, light and white, with a cool touch, like fresh snow in early spring.
Lin You's gaze shifted from the end of that hair to Xiao Xiao's face.
The light blue skin is smooth and delicate, and the prismatic crystals on her forehead shine like diamonds, adding a radiant glow to the beautiful outline, but what is even more dazzling is the sunlight reflected in her ice blue pupils.
It's so gorgeous you can't take your eyes off it.
Lin You always thought so.
People always appreciate beautiful things, as usual, she is attracted by Xiao Xiaojiao's good looks, and Xiao Xiao seems to be unaware of her beautiful appearance, staring at her intently.
"Probably because I didn't sleep well last night."
Xiao Xiao didn't doubt Lin You's answer, but just tried to ask her to rest for a while, but after being rejected, she pursed her lips and quickened her hand movements.
Lin You breathed a sigh of relief after she turned her face away.
That's right... as usual.
After drying the books in rows on the open space, they sat outside on the raised tree roots to read.
Now there are so many books to choose from that there is no need for two people to squeeze together to read the same book, but Xiao Xiao still sits close to her, their shoulders are next to each other, Lin You can feel her gentle breathing.
She was used to being close to Xiao Xiao.
Although he didn't say it, Lin You actually liked when the two of them were together like this. Even if you don't do anything, there is the same light and soft pleasure when you taste the cream on the cake.
It doesn't start today, but it's the same as usual... As usual, Lin You couldn't calm down.
Xiao Xiao quietly flipped through the book beside her. What she read was "Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales" that she picked out at random. Lin You, who didn't read much after leaving school like this, remembered a few of the stories in it. Xiao Xiao probably read it too, and still read it seriously.
And Lin You was distracted frequently while holding the book. I finally turned a page, but I have no memory of what I read, so I turned it back and read it again... It's still the same.
After several times, Lin You sighed in her heart and gave up.
When Xiao Xiao was reading a book, he concentrated on it, almost immersed in the book. Lin You couldn't concentrate, but she didn't bother her either. She adjusted her posture to make her lean more comfortably, and she became dazed by herself.
The wind blew through the shade of the trees overhead, the leaves rustled and the dappled sunlight swayed slightly.
The root system of the giant tree exposed to the ground is intertwined and covered with large swaths of moss. Lin You's eyes wandered aimlessly, and found a bunch of short, fat white mushrooms in the corner where the roots forked, with a pure white body and a round and lovely canopy, they looked very delicious.
Make a mushroom soup at noon, or bake it directly... Xiao Xiao should be very happy.
Near the white mushroom, two slender-necked birds, one green and the other white, nestled on the tree root.
They seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Xiao, they flew down after she finished drying the books, and played around her for a while, Lin You also touched the smooth wings and the soft fluff on the belly, and then stayed in the Zuo Jin rested and did not fly away again.
At this moment, their bodies depended on each other, their slender necks were slightly bent, and their heads were pressed against each other.
Even if Lin You hadn't studied the body language of birds, she could understand the attachment in it.
spouse…
Lin You looked to the side, Xiao Xiao was leaning on her upper body, her face pressed against her shoulders, her snow-white hair was intertwined with the black hair on her shoulders, and the mottled sunlight swayed slightly in the wind, falling on them .
She sighed again inwardly.
Lin You has long passed her girlhood when she was ignorant about feelings. She has never considered this direction before, once she realizes the difference, even if she has no love experience, she will not be confused about her mood.
However, while realizing this feeling, she also tasted the bitter feeling.
Xiao Xiao's likes and dislikes are pure and straightforward.
Lin You read her diary. Her memory began after waking up in the laboratory two years ago. Although she retained her previous common sense and knowledge, since then, it was her first contact with this world.
Xiao Xiao likes her, so he is attached to her.
She wrote in her diary that "I want to stay with her", "I like the smell of her", and "The most favorite thing is to stay with her".
Lin You didn't know where this favor came from, but it wasn't love for her lover. She was close to Lin You as if she was close to her own family... and Lin You couldn't just treat her as a family member.
Therefore, it cannot be allowed to go on like this.
Lin You lowered her eyes, and the dense black printed words on the pages of the book were crowded together, making people upset. She slammed the book shut, Xiao Xiao seemed startled by her action, sat up straight, and looked over blankly.
what happened
Her eyes fully expressed doubts.
Lin You smiled embarrassedly, and covered the lower half of her face with a book. She learned this gesture from Xiao Xiao: "The content makes people a little angry."
Xiao Xiao glanced at the title of her book: "Running Wife is a Little Sweet", pondered for a moment, then nodded in understanding.
Lin You didn't intend to continue watching, she stood up: "I'll go find the ingredients for lunch." While speaking, she had already pulled out the fat white mushroom beside her without mercy.
The two slender-necked birds leaning on each other looked at her curiously with their heads tilted.
Xiao Xiao also looked at her sideways, and was puzzled by her sudden interruption of reading time: "Now?" She seemed to be asking back out of confusion, without any objection, and was about to stand up after closing the book.
Lin You pushed her back: "Just walk around here twice, you see."
Xiao Xiao didn't think much, and sat back obediently.
Lin You did not go far, but just picked up mushrooms around. Xiao Xiao sat on the root of the tree and read a book, but she lost her usual concentration and seemed very worried. After reading for a while, she would raise her head and look for Lin You's figure.
Lin You turned her head several times, and the two happened to meet their eyes, and Xiao Xiao smiled brightly.
Ugh.
Lin You couldn't help smiling too, sighing inwardly while laughing.
The progress of drying books is much faster than they thought, one batch in the morning and one batch in the afternoon, only a small part of the books have not been exposed to the sun. It was still early after the end of the day, Lin You made dinner in advance, after the meal, she grabbed Xiao Xiao who was going for a walk to digest.
Lin You cleared her throat: "Actually... I'm a little worried about my home, so I want to go back and have a look first."
Xiao Xiao looked at her puzzled: "Go back tomorrow?"
She didn't understand what Lin You meant, or she subconsciously felt that they should act together. It was difficult for Lin You to explain. Under Xiao Xiao's puzzled eyes, she looked away slightly: "What I mean is, I'll go back and have a look first..."
Xiao Xiao didn't speak.
Lin You gritted her teeth and turned her gaze back, and met Xiao Xiao's gaze.
Xiao Xiao seemed to be still stupefied by her words, and looked at her with bewildered eyes, this kind of wronged eyes like a lost small animal immediately defeated Lin You.
She repeatedly firmed her position in her heart: Don't be soft-hearted.
The two stood face to face.
Lin You didn't speak, Xiao Xiao waited for a moment, lowered her eyes in disappointment, and when she raised her eyes again, she wiped away the bewilderment. Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and did not stop Lin You, her ice blue eyes looked at her quietly, as if judging her determination.
"Now, go back?"
"… Ok."
Xiao Xiao nodded silently, and attracted the two slender-necked birds: "Let them see you off."
The thin-necked bird followed her obediently. Lin You packed up her things, walked out for a while, and turned her head to see a slender white figure standing alone on a high place, looking towards this side.
Lin You felt sour in her heart and almost couldn't help walking back.
But she held back.
Leaving the range covered by the giant tree, the cyan thin-necked bird immediately flew to a high place, hovering in the air for vigilance, while the white one surrounded Lin You. Every time it flapped its wings, fine ice crystals fell down.
When Lin You saw its pure white wings, she thought of Xiao Xiao's snow-colored long hair.
How is Xiao Xiao doing now? what are you doing
Just after they separated, Lin You was shaken violently.
She recalled Xiao Xiao's hurt eyes when she left, and began to wonder if she had done something wrong.
If she didn't realize her feelings, and still thought that she regarded Xiao Xiao as a companion and family member, would she feel that there was something wrong with this over-reliance, and would she deliberately act separately
Just as the sun was setting, Lin You looked at the sunset in the sky. She remembered that it was the same time when she first came to this town. The same scenery, the same person walking on the road, but the state of mind is quite different.
Lin You smiled wryly, halfway through her expression, but froze.
She walked on the asphalt road in the town. Although the buildings were dilapidated, most of the roads were still open, but no one used them anymore. And on this road that should have been used by no one, Lin You found something incongruous.
Four long traces appeared from the side of the road and dragged to the other end of the road, as if something had passed by here, leaving behind mud from the field.
Lin You knelt down to discern carefully.
She was right, it was four ruts.
The author has something to say:
Yuzu's mood is similar: she is still young, this is a crime(?).
Xiao Xiao: ...
It's cool to break the update for a while, and it's always cool to break the update...
But under the persuasion of my friends, I deeply realized my mistakes, and decided to be a good person, restore and update, coo.
