"Hate, rainy day."
Xiao Xiao leaned on the window sill and looked out, suddenly uttered such a sentence.
Outside, there was continuous spring rain, and the rain was not heavy. Lin Youxiu's roof could still hold up, and the accumulated rainwater formed a fine rain curtain under the eaves.
When I went out in the morning, I was drenched in the rain, and Lucky was hiding under the porch, listlessly flicking her tail; Xiaohong didn't even open the flowers today, wrapped in buds, completely autistic.
After Lin You washed her face, she hung up the towel: "Didn't you say that when it rained last time?"
She remembered that it rained two days ago, Xiao Xiao still took her out for a walk.
The fine ends of her hair tickled her shoulders, and Lin You looked in the mirror for a while, and was sure that her hair was a little long. The part that was shortened after being burned by Zhaocai before is not very visible.
Well, the nails seem to grow too.
Lin You found the scissors next to the kite she made yesterday.
Xiao Xiao said sullenly: "It's now, before the weather clears, I'll decide to hate it."
I love flying kites so much.
"There are plenty of sunny days, so I'll just go next time." Lin You sat in front of the mirror, and gestured with scissors, "Xiao Xiao, help me?"
She heard Xiao Xiao's light footsteps, walked behind her, inserted her cool fingers into her hair, and stroked along her neck.
"Short?"
Lin You moved uncomfortably: "Well, don't move around, it's a little itchy."
"Hmm." Xiao Xiao asked her, "Yuzi, do you like short hair?"
The thoughtful expression on her face was reflected in the mirror, as if she was considering whether to cut her hair short. Although Xiao Xiao has a small face and delicate facial features, her short hair must look good, but thinking of her soft snow-colored long hair, Lin You couldn't help feeling a pity.
She quickly dispelled Xiao Xiao's thoughts: "It's not like I like it, it's just for convenience."
This is not a lie. Lin You used to have long hair, but after the end of the world, the conditions got worse and worse, so she cut her hair, and it has become a habit now.
Xiao Xiao leaned over and put her chin on the top of her head: "Then, it's okay now, grow up?"
"..."
Lin You looked at herself in the mirror.
To be honest, from the outside, she has hardly changed from her previous appearance, and the self-healing ability seems to slow down the flow of time in her body. But asking Lin You to think about her long hair is like recalling something from her previous life.
She hesitated for a moment, Xiao Xiao had already taken the scissors from her hand, and helped to make a decision: "Well, it doesn't look good, cut it shorter."
"... That's true."
Xiao Xiao said it lightly, and it was just a simple matter. Lin You didn't know where her momentary hesitation came from. But after Xiao Xiao made up his mind, he also went with her.
If you can't cut your hair, just cut your nails.
Lin You took out the nail scissors, Xiao Xiao moved the stool opposite her: "I'll do it."
It seems that she is really doing nothing...
Lin You reluctantly handed her his hand.
Xiao Xiao held her hand, carefully aligned it, and pressed the nail scissors, which was much more detailed than what he handled himself. After cutting, it needs to be smoothed carefully, and the fine debris should be blown off with the head down.
The cool breath brushed over the fingertips, Lin You curled up her fingers, and was immediately criticized by Xiao Xiao: "Don't move around."
Ok.
Lin You was bored in every possible way, and began to observe the hands of the two of them. Xiao Xiao's hands are slender and slender, with clear joints when he bends his fingers. Even if the skin color does not conform to human aesthetics, it cannot be denied that it is a beautiful hand shape. In the past, it might have been used as a hand model.
And her own hands looked soft... just like human beings, not slender enough.
"… Yes."
Xiao Xiao suddenly said something without beginning or end. Lin You thought she had said what she was thinking, but after a while, she finally realized: "What is right?"
"There are still many, sunny day."
Xiao Xiao lowered his eyes and was cutting the last one. With the weak light outside, Lin You saw her eyelashes flutter twice, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Besides, together, no matter what you do, you are very happy."
In this sentence, there is a feeling of joy that is as subtle as flying dust floating in the beam of light, but does exist.
Lin You blinked dully: "..."
"Xiao Xiao," she said solemnly, "this seems to be the longest sentence you have ever said..."
Xiao Xiao was raising her hand to do the final inspection, when she heard her words, the satisfaction on her face became speechless, and she looked at her with some complaints. Lin You couldn't help but curled the corners of her lips, and when she was about to withdraw her hand, Xiao Xiao held her back.
"Next time, come and paint your nails."
Lin You asked, "What kind of dye do you use?"
Xiao Xiao let go of her hand, and picked up the flowerpot at the foot of the desk. Inside grew a graceful and upright green plant, with a stem as thick as a little finger and slightly warped leaves. Lin You couldn't recognize what it was, but only remembered that Xiao Xiao dug it back yesterday.
The house seems to be silently occupied by plants, some are planted in the yard, some are placed under the porch, a few small pots of succulents are scattered on the window sill, and flexible branches of Chlorophytum hang down on the desk.
Originally, Xiao Xiao would ask Lin You about the things that Xiao Xiao brought home, but with the increase in types, Lin You was too lazy to ask.
Xiao Xiao said: "Fengxian."
She held the flower pot and looked at it with crooked eyes through the gaps in the leaves: "Blooming in summer, giving grapefruits and dyeing nails."
Lin You was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Okay, wait until summer."
They dismantled the two umbrellas at home to make kites, and they couldn't go out on rainy days. Lin You and Xiao Xiao sat outside in a brighter place to read. The two of them were reading the same book, of course not the professional books on the bookshelf, Xiao Xiao had already finished reading those, so they huddled together to read novels with her.
Well, the title of the novel is "The Evil Emperor Covers the Sky".
Lin You was quite happy to see it. Although the title of the book does not look very good, the content is very interesting, and there is a kind of magic that makes people want to turn back unconsciously, except...
She sighed in pain when she saw that the male protagonist's Princess Zhenggong was deeply in love with the oiran concubine sisters he brought back from outside, and she also persuaded the male protagonist to bring home the holy woman of a certain religion with whom he had an affair.
"Can we skip this paragraph?"
Lin You buried her face on Xiao Xiao's shoulder, Xiao Xiao slowly turned the pages of the book, motionless as a mountain: "Wait for me, finish it."
"Obviously you don't think there's anything interesting about this kind of plot?"
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, as if thinking about the words: "... words need to be cherished."
This sentence is especially believable from her. Lin You knew that Xiao Xiao had a small box, which was specially used to put the instructions cut out from the packaging bag, the hang tags on the clothes, the labels torn off from the products... These kind of useless, but small pieces of paper with text.
Lin You thought her strange collection was also cute.
However, when the two of them read books together, this trait becomes very tormenting.
The author spent several pages writing about the hero and his harem. Lin You skipped and watched, complaining while watching: "If I were a princess, no matter how powerful the hero is, I would definitely kick him right away."
Xiao Xiao carefully read a page: "You like grapefruit, what kind?"
"I like it?" Lin You was taken aback by the question, and found a little bit of the feeling of chatting with her girlfriends in the past, but as before, every time she talked about this kind of issue, she couldn't say any special preference, she could only talk about it. Broadly speaking, "Specialized... huh?"
"character?"
"Ok… "
Lin You thought hard for a while, she leaned on Xiao Xiao's body, a few strands of snow-colored hair fell by her hand, she unconsciously curled the soft ends of her hair, and listed a few reference characters in her mind: "Calm and steady , Calm? Gives a sense of stability... Ah, someone like my sister."
"… Well."
But even if the conditions are clear, how can anyone fall in love with her now
Thinking of this, Lin You suddenly felt that it didn't matter, and asked Xiao Xiao: "Where is Xiao Xiao? What kind of person do you like?"
Xiao Xiao just finished the whole chapter, sat up a little distance away, covered the lower half of her face with the book and looked at her. Her icy blue eyes seemed to fall into the rain and gently rippling the surface of a lake.
"I like it, Yuzu." She said slowly.
Lin You blinked twice in a row. She just had the illusion of falling into a dream and being submerged in the ice-blue water.
"Ah...me too, I like Xiao Xiao so much." Lin You paused for a moment, then responded bluntly.
However, perhaps because Xiao Xiao's attitude was too serious, she felt subtly shy that she could say something casually before, and subconsciously avoided looking at Xiao Xiao.
She heard the sound of Xiao Xiao closing the book.
"Well, I like it too." Xiao Xiao repeated, this time with a lighter tone, "Picnic, what do you eat?"
"...Why did you ask this suddenly?"
Lin You also had to think about it. Her experience of outings is only going out for spring outings with her classmates in elementary school, going after lunch, and coming back before school. As for what to eat when going out for a picnic, she can only refer to the film and television works she has watched.
Rice balls? The premise is to have food. Speaking of which, this season is a good time to eat Qingtuan, but there is no glutinous rice flour... Even fried magnolia flowers, which are suitable for the occasion and simple, cannot be made due to lack of ingredients.
Lin You felt a little desperate about the food reserves at home.
Let's go to a place for a picnic.
It only took a few minutes for her to go from thinking hard to giving up. Xiao Xiao shook her arm: "Look."
Lin You turned her head suspiciously. During the short time she was thinking about the food, the rain seemed to have stopped, only water droplets were still dripping intermittently from the edge of the eaves.
She looked in the direction Xiao Xiao pointed, and there was a faint rainbow light hanging on the sky that was exceptionally clear after the rain.
"It's a rainbow!"
Lin You was amazed. Although she knew it was just an ordinary optical phenomenon, she hadn't seen it for several years, not to mention that in the fresh air after the rain, the rainbow in the sky really had a kind of dreamlike beauty.
Facing the rare beauty, she took out the harmonica in her pocket, and Xiao Xiao immediately looked over vigilantly: "Want to play?"
"...Is it that ugly?" Lin You choked when she looked like she was facing an enemy.
Xiao Xiao shook his head resolutely, then stood up solemnly with the book in his arms: "I'm going to do the laundry."
"..."
It doesn't sound bad, so don't run away.
The author has something to say:
Xiao Xiao cherished the opportunity to read because she was too poor when she was a child. This habit intensified and even evolved after she became a zombie.
