Chapter 133 Dishonest

Chapter 133 Dishonest
"Sleeping on the floor? Don't you think the floor is cold?"

Xu Mingyuan frowned. The floor of the house was made of tiles, and the air conditioner felt icy cold.

"Brother, I brought a mattress, it's not cold..."

"Go back to sleep quickly. You still have to stand for a whole day of military training tomorrow. Don't catch a cold."

"No, I march every day and I'm in good health."

Yang Zhi did not go to see him. She just made the mattress and sat on it, wrapped in the summer quilt, mumbling softly: "I won't be able to see you tomorrow..."

"Haha, there's nothing to see. I'll be back on Saturday and Sunday and take you out to play then."

Hearing her depression, Xu Mingyuan comforted her.

“You can’t see that…”

Yang Zhi looked at him eagerly, with no intention of moving.

Soon, she saw Xu Mingyuan move inside and turned off the cooling mode of the air conditioner and switched it to the blowing mode.

Although she had expected that she would have a place on the bed, Yang Zhi was still very shy.

"Come up, don't sleep on the floor."

Xu Mingyuan patted the empty seat.

It's originally a double bed, and there's plenty of space, so it's enough for two more people to lie down.

"Brother, this is not good..."

Yang Zhi's voice was as soft as a little mosquito.

"What's wrong with that? Hey, you little girl are quite feudal." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"No, it will squeeze my brother."

Yang Zhi's cheeks flushed as she explained in a low voice.

"Do you sleep well at night?"

"Yeah, I sleep very well and don't move at all."

Willow branches in succession.

"Then hurry up, aren't you sleepy?"

"All right……"

Yang Zhi hugged the quilt, stepped on the mattress with her little feet, moved to the edge, curled up and lay down with her back turned.

However, when Yang Zhi heard Xu Mingyuan get up, she quickly turned around and saw him walk to the window, open it, and close the screen. Feeling relieved, she turned off the desk lamp.

If you turn off the lights, you won't leave, right? What if you can't see clearly and fall?

Yang Zhi's face was burning hot, and she fumbled for the switch, struggling over whether to turn on the light or not.

Xu Mingyuan opened the curtains a little to let the gentle night breeze blow in. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, but it was not very hot.

In the darkness, Xu Mingyuan groped for the pillow, lay back on the bed, and yawned.

After a long while, Xu Mingyuan turned his head when he heard a tiny rustling sound beside him.

By now I had adapted to the darkness, and with the moonlight outside the window, I could see the sparkling light in little Yangzhi's eyes.

"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Brother, can I chat for a while?" Yang Zhi said softly.

"Come on, what do you want to talk about?"

"Um……"

Yang Zhi was embarrassed for a moment. She really didn't know what to talk about. Usually her brother started the conversation first. At this moment, her heart was pounding and she couldn't think of any topic.

"Brother, are you feeling hot? Why don't you turn on the air conditioner? I'm not cold under the quilt."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan fanning himself in his pajamas, Yang Zhi said.

"It's okay. Didn't we just turn off the air conditioner? You will get used to it in a while." Xu Mingyuan said.

The most comfortable thing in summer is to cover yourself with a quilt and turn on the air conditioner, but Xiao Yangzhi is afraid of cold, and it will be troublesome if he catches a cold.

But Xu Mingyuan didn't care. He had gotten through last year like this anyway, and it was much hotter then than it is now.

"Brother, do you have to learn a lot of subjects in the first year of high school?"

"Yes, there are a lot. You need to learn both arts and science, including the three major subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English, plus six minor subjects. But you don't need to learn too many things. You will be divided into arts and science classes in the future. Just focus on the arts. Remember some basics of physics and chemistry to cope with the final exam. It's not difficult." Xu Mingyuan said casually.

Yang Zhi was just making small talk. With a person's width between them and hidden in the darkness, his pounding heartbeat slowly calmed down.

Compared to lying on the sofa, this distance is so far.

Taking advantage of Xu Mingyuan's speech, Yang Zhi inadvertently moved forward a few centimeters.

After chatting for a while, they fell silent again.

Suddenly, Yang Zhi called him.

"elder brother."

"Yeah." Xu Mingyuan, who almost fell asleep, opened his eyes drowsily again.

"Don't you find me annoying?" Yang Zhi asked in a low voice.

"No? Why are you asking this?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I'm scared..."

"What are you thinking about all day long?"

Xu Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Yangzhi's face and pulled it. Seeing that she didn't resist and just stared at him with her eyes open, he felt embarrassed to bully her anymore.

“But many people find me annoying.”

"It's all the same. There are a lot of people who are annoyed with me. We are not RMB. We can't please everyone."

"No, I've been annoyed by people since I was a child." Yang Zhi explained.

"Hey, you are thinking about those little things from your childhood again. Go to bed quickly." Xu Mingyuan urged.

"Sorry……"

"Okay, okay, go ahead. If you can't get up tomorrow, I'll ask for leave for you."

Xu Mingyuan sighed helplessly. This little girl has separation anxiety again.

I remember the last time was last year when he was preparing to start Lightning Technology and he didn’t go home for several days.

At that time, she thought she had already said hello, and it would be okay if she didn't go back for a few days. But who would have thought that she would be so scared and act timidly to show her presence, fearing that no one would want her again.

After that, Xiao Yangzhi let down her guard, and Xu Mingyuan accepted her as a member of the family, or rather, he gradually integrated into the family and accepted the reality.

"Brother, don't ask for leave, I'm going to sleep now."

Thinking of making things difficult for her brother, Yang Zhi quickly closed her eyes.

"Are you sure you want to go to sleep?" Xu Mingyuan asked
"Yeah." Yang Zhi nodded, and then said, "Brother is so nice. If I told mom about this, she would have been annoyed by me a long time ago, hehehe..."

Yang Zhi smiled foolishly.

"You are not annoying. Your mother is different from normal people," Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"I'm glad my brother doesn't bother me. He even lets me sleep with my head resting on his legs, but mom won't let me."

"Really? Why not?"

"Mom said girls should become independent as early as possible."

Yang Zhi frowned, still not understanding the meaning of this sentence.

"Damn, she has the nerve to say that?" Xu Mingyuan laughed and said to her, "Your mother just doesn't want you to bother her. She wants to save herself some trouble."

"Brother, don't you think I'm clingy?"

"No problem."

"Brother, can you let me sleep with your head resting on my head..."

Yang Zhi's voice became weaker and weaker. If it weren't for the quiet night, no one would have heard it clearly.

"Okay, look up."

After Xu Mingyuan finished speaking, he lent her his arm as a pillow.

"No, it will make my brother numb. Just put it on my head."

Yang Zhi happily shrank down, put his arms on his head, and rubbed them gently with his hair. After feeling the warmth, he completely calmed down.

Xu Mingyuan was also very sleepy. After the heat passed, he fell into a sleepy state.

……

Wait for the next morning.

Hearing the conversation downstairs and the sound of cars in the distance, Xu Mingyuan opened his eyes sleepily.

I was covered with a blanket, but I wasn't hot.

I don't know when Xiao Yangzhi turned on the air conditioner. When Xu Mingyuan saw the 22 degrees marked on it, he was stunned. Fortunately, the window was open at night, otherwise he would have caught a cold.

When Xu Mingyuan woke up, he didn't see Xiao Yangzhi, but half of his chest was pressed down by a soft body. He looked down and saw only a few strands of hair sticking out from under the quilt.

He lifted the quilt and saw that she had one hand around his waist, the other holding his arm, her head buried in his chest, motionless. Xu Mingyuan turned his head and looked at the alarm clock.

"Hey, it's already past seven o'clock. Are you still going to No. 3 Middle School? How about I give you a day off?"

Xu Mingyuan pushed her little head.

Even though he said he wanted to sleep well, he was almost pushed to the ground.

"You're going to be late!"

Yang Zhi screamed and jumped up suddenly. Her hair was disheveled and her appearance could not be seen clearly. She just ran out barefoot.

Xiao Yangzhi, who had always followed the rules since childhood, was now in a panic. It seemed that she was really afraid of being late...
