Chapter 145 Smiling like a flower
Chapter 145 Smiling like a flower
Just as Yang Zhi thought, his brother would not care about such a small matter and would not ask again after asking once.
Patting her back, Xu Mingyuan comforted her softly. Little Yangzhi trembled slightly, and her hair rubbed against his neck, making it itchy.
"Okay, okay, you're already such a grown-up girl, but you're still clinging to others like this, aren't you afraid that your classmates will laugh at you?"
Xu Mingyuan pressed her shoulders and pushed the knot away without much effort.
In fact, Yang Zhi didn't want to let go. She was not afraid of being laughed at by her classmates.
But the faint fragrance coming from her brother made Yang Zhi a little discouraged.
"I'm still a child..."
Yang Zhi's eyes were a little red, but she quickly suppressed her emotions and a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.
"Ha, how can you admit that you are a child? Don't you dislike it?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"It's not that I don't like you. Didn't my brother say that I'm just a child in front of you?" Yang Zhi said with a smile.
"Haha, okay, let's go." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
I rubbed her hair and felt the familiar soft touch. I pinched her little bun and it felt even better.
Little Yangzhi also cooperated by shaking her head. After he finished rubbing it, she hugged his arm like a koala.
As usual, Xu Mingyuan took her to buy some wontons.
Xiao Yangzhi wanted to go home to eat, so Xu Mingyuan let her do so.
Less than a month after I left, there was no change in the house. It was still clean without a speck of dust.
In fact, Xu Mingyuan himself has not changed. During the half-month military training, he was forced to apply sunscreen all day long, but his skin color did not change.
Xiao Yangzhi has changed a lot. The black and white school uniform is more suitable than the blue and white, and she looks a lot more mature.
Now she has bangs, revealing her smooth forehead, and with a small bun, she looks less pure and more ladylike.
Xu Mingyuan didn't eat much at night, and Yang Zhi noticed it.
Yang Zhi usually didn't eat at night, so she didn't add vinegar to the bowl. She just took a few sips of the soup, then scooped out the wontons from her bowl and put them in the bowl opposite her.
After Xu Mingyuan finished his meal, he ate all the dishes at the same time. He touched his stomach and wiped his mouth, leaving the mess on the table for Xiao Yangzhi to clean up, and then went to the sofa to rest.
Yang Zhi tied the bag tightly, but worried that the soup would spill out, she put another layer of plastic bag over it and threw it into the trash can.
After washing the fruits, Yang Zhi went to Xu Mingyuan's room, found a set of pajamas, and draped a bath towel over her arm.
"Brother, you are sweating a lot."
"Is it?"
Xu Mingyuan rubbed his forehead and found a thin layer of sweat.
It was already halfway through September and it wasn't very hot at night. The air conditioner was not turned on. Recalling the barbecue he had eaten outside, Xu Mingyuan simply took another shower.
Including brushing my teeth, it took less than five minutes in total.
Xiao Yangzhi was waiting in the living room holding her pajamas. Xu Mingyuan looked at the time and it was almost half past ten.
"Be quick and go to bed early."
Xu Mingyuan said something and slipped into the study to play on the computer.
Yang Zhi took the clothes that Xu Mingyuan had changed and wanted to wash them now, but she felt that it would take too long, so she simply opened the lid of the washing machine and threw them in.
At most ten minutes later, Yang Zhi simply put on her pajamas, came out wearing wet slippers, and wiped her hair with a towel in her hand.
I walked to the study and was about to knock on the door, but the moment I raised my hand, I felt a chill on my body, my cheeks turned red instantly, and I ran back to my room at a loss.
After finishing the cleaning, he poked his head into the study.
"It's almost eleven o'clock. What are you doing here?"
"I usually go to bed at half past eleven."
"Then let's get up early today." Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"Oh...but I want to sit for a while, okay?"
"I'll go to bed after reading this document."
"Uh-huh."
Yang Zhi nodded and ran over.
Xu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, knowing that she had misunderstood, but seeing that she had already pulled out the stool and sat down, he ignored her.
The files sent today were all data-based stuff, not very nutritious, but Xu Mingyuan had to read them all to get a general idea. "Brother, what is this?"
Yang Zhi tapped the screen with her slender fingers and turned her head to look at him curiously.
"Well, this is the cost of hard drives a week ago, this is the current cost, this is the year-on-year decrease, and this is the month-on-month decrease..."
Xu Mingyuan explained it briefly and the data was not difficult to understand, but Xiao Yangzhi rarely came across some nouns, so they seemed a bit difficult to understand.
"Brother, where is this?"
"That's it for today. You can ask me next time."
Seeing that it was too late, Xu Mingyuan stopped explaining to her, quickened his pace, and glanced around.
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi put his head forward.
My brother didn't use shower gel today, so there was no smell, only a faint smell of laundry detergent on his pajamas, which were exactly the same as my own.
Yang Zhi let out a long sigh and felt much better.
Two or three minutes later, Xu Mingyuan turned off the computer and pushed Xiao Yangzhi's shoulders back to the bedroom.
"Brother, let's chat for a while..."
There was some shyness in Yang Zhi's dark eyes. She wanted to see if her brother would come into her room.
"Get up early tomorrow and I'll take you there."
Xu Mingyuan closed her door.
Yang Zhi stood at the door for a moment with a slight sense of loss, but ultimately did not dare to launch another night attack.
Alas, there is no good opportunity...
Xu Mingyuan lay back on the bed, covered himself with a thin quilt, and soon fell into a deep sleep amid the faint fragrance.
The next morning, Xu Mingyuan was awakened by the alarm clock. He put on his clothes and opened the door, only to find that Xiao Yangzhi had already gotten up.
"Brother, just wash your hands and you can eat."
"You're up so early?"
Xu Mingyuan set the alarm for half past six as usual, and Xiao Yangzhi had already packed up and even bought breakfast, so it seemed like she got up before six.
"I went to bed early last night."
Yang Zhi smiled faintly.
"Is it too early to go to bed at 11:30? Can you usually sleep in during school?" Xu Mingyuan asked with a frown.
"That's enough. All classmates have this schedule."
"You can only sleep for seven hours at most. How can that be possible? Don't make phone calls at noon. Take a nap instead."
"what?"
Yang Zhi's hands stopped in mid-air. Seeing Xu Mingyuan went to wash up, she put the breakfast into the bowl with a bitter face.
When Xu Mingyuan sat down in the restaurant, he saw that Xiao Yangzhi was unhappy but trying to force a smile, so Xu Mingyuan pinched her cheeks.
In fact, Yang Zhi quite likes interacting with her brother, but this way of treating children makes her very conflicted.
But today is a little different.
The wet fingers were a little cold, rubbing on her cheek. Yang Zhi was a little shy, not knowing what he was going to do, but she would not resist...
Xu Mingyuan pulled her eyelids and saw that there were faint bloodshot under the whites of Chunxia's eyes. He frowned and said, "Take a nap at noon, otherwise you won't have the energy in the afternoon."
"Oh……"
Yang Zhi nodded slightly and scooped a mouthful of tofu pudding into her mouth.
Although I haven't eaten it for a long time, it doesn't taste good anymore.
"I'll call you tonight and tell you to go to bed early. Did you hear me?"
"Uh-huh!"
Yang Zhi nodded heavily, smiling like a flower.
