Chapter 151: Grinding
"My mother stopped pulling me along when I could catch up with her, and my uncle hasn't pulled me along for a long time either. Now my brother is the only one left..."

In Yang Zhi's eyes, which were like a pool of lake water, ripples rarely appeared, as if water was about to overflow.

The liquor had a strong aftereffect, and Xu Mingyuan, who was a little drunk, did not notice that Xiao Yangzhi, who was standing next to him, had a shy and lovely face.

He just felt his arms lighten and felt a lot more relaxed.

Xu Mingyuan wiped the sweat off his forehead, feeling very comfortable holding the cold little hand, and said casually: "Well, this is good. Don't stay close to me anymore. I'm almost dying of heat, you know?"

"..."

Yang Zhi pursed her lips, and her shyness suddenly disappeared.

Her little face was conflicted and she sighed softly.

What you gain, you lose.

But it’s always good to have a good start, and the rest depends on your own efforts.

After strolling for a while, Yang Zhi sneaked closer again and their arms crossed inadvertently.

It doesn't matter if it's a little hot, we got through August like this...

Seeing some finger-sized clay figurines on a street stall, Xu Mingyuan picked out an owl and gave it to Xiao Yangzhi as a decoration.

"Stay up less late in the future and don't be like a night owl all day long."

"Thank you, brother."

Yang Zhi took it and put it in his pocket.

There was nothing to see at the night market, and Xu Mingyuan had been busy all day. His legs were so tired that he just wanted to go home and rest early.

Arriving at the corner of the community, Yang Zhi went to buy ready-made dishes such as braised pork, roast duck legs, and cold dishes, and carried several bags of large and small sizes.

Yang Zhi had already made up her mind that if she could keep her brother at home, she would not go out, and it would be best if he could also be at home for meals.

Both of them were carrying things in their hands, so Yang Zhi had no chance to lean on Xu Mingyuan anymore. They chatted along the way until they got home.

"Brother, when you said you didn't want to sell the bracelet, you left me a few beads. Do you remember what color they were?"

"I forgot about it a long time ago."

Xu Mingyuan didn't even remember these little things. After returning home, he sat down on the sofa.

Yang Zhi put the vegetables in the refrigerator and the fruits on the dining table and stopped cleaning up.

"Brother, look, I put it on the bookshelf."

Yang Zhi happily pulled Xu Mingyuan up and wanted to take him to see it.

Seeing that she was in high spirits, Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to get up and be pulled into the room by her.

The bedroom where Xiao Yangzhi was staying was the room where Xu Mingyuan had lived for many years.

The size and furnishings of the room were pretty much the same as I remembered.

But after the walls were repainted, all that was left for him was space for memories.

After all, it is the second bedroom, and the indoor area is almost half the size of the master bedroom.

Xiao Yangzhi also had a lot of things, and there was no place to put the newly distributed books, so she had to arrange them neatly according to size next to the study desk.

There are also some commonly used textbooks on the table, and a space is set aside in the middle for reading and doing homework.

There are four small bookshelves above the study table, with some small dolls on them, and the ceramic deer that I gave her last time is placed on it.

Xu Mingyuan took it down and looked at it. When he concentrated, it started to shake a little. He was worried that he would accidentally drop it again, so he put it back.

"Brother, this is it."

Yang Zhi picked up a string of colorful crystal beads and showed them off.

"It looks pretty good when tied together. Let's hang it up." Xu Mingyuan took it.

All the remaining beads were thrown away by Xu Mingyuan, leaving only eight or nine beads scattered in the bag.

Seeing that she couldn't make a bracelet anymore, Xiao Yangzhi found a red thread to string them together as a pendant, arranging them neatly by size, and made them very delicately.

"Brother, how about I put you on the truck?" Yang Zhi asked softly.

"Okay."

"Ah."

Yang Zhi nodded heavily.

This way, every time my brother goes out, he can think of me.

Yang Zhi smiled faintly, somewhat happy.

When he just returned home, Xu Mingyuan asked Xiao Yangzhi to go out and even stood at the door to take a look.

It feels like there are more girly things in the room than when I first came here.

Later, Xiao Yangzhi stopped hiding in her room, and such opportunities became less frequent. Although her door was usually open, Xu Mingyuan would take a peek when he went to the study.

After looking around her room, Xu Mingyuan noticed the clothes hanger in front of the window, with two small pieces of underwear hanging on them.

Xu Mingyuan lowered his head and looked at Xiao Yangzhi briefly.

Although this little girl is tall, her frame is not big. She is so thin and small that you can't tell much. It seems that she needs to supplement more nutrition in the future.

"Brother, do you want to sit down..."

Yang Zhi blushed and asked softly. "I won't sit anymore. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Xu Mingyuan turned and walked out.

Yang Zhi's tense breathing relaxed. She felt relieved but also a little discouraged. She followed Xu Mingyuan's footsteps and caught up with him.

"Brother, let me go and boil the water in the water heater first."

“No need, it’s so hot, I just washed it with cold water.

"Well... Brother, then take a shower. Don't take too long. The floor is slippery. Don't fall."

"It's okay, your brother didn't drink too much."

Xu Mingyuan took the pajamas and bath towel from her hands, and picked up a pair of underwear from the clothes rack.

A few minutes later, he changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

Yang Zhi was not idle either. While Xu Mingyuan was taking a shower, she sorted out his backpack.

I put the sheets and quilt covers in order, and when he came out, I soaked the clothes.

Not long after, Xu Mingyuan, who was lying on the sofa, heard the sound of water in the bathroom.

Xu Mingyuan was so dazed that he almost forgot to avoid it. He simply turned off the TV and went back to his room with his phone.

Seeing that Tao Shuxin had sent me several text messages, I called her.

Tao Shuxin was also lying on the bed at this time, and she mustered up the courage to whisper some sweet words.

The soft voice had a hypnotic effect. Xu Mingyuan tried to deal with it for a long time and almost fell asleep. He didn't listen carefully to what she was saying.

Tao Shuxin knew that he was absent-minded, probably because he was drunk, so she pouted, said good night, and hung up the phone.

creak.

The door was gently pushed open.

"What are you doing? Why didn't you knock?"

When Xu Mingyuan opened his eyes, he saw a slender dark figure standing at the door.

Yang Zhi, who was holding a towel and trying to dry her hair as quickly as possible, suddenly shuddered and said stumblingly, "Brother, I was drying my hair and forgot to knock. I just wanted to come and chat for a while."

"Let's talk tomorrow. I'm going to sleep."

"Oh, then go to sleep..."

"Yeah." Xu Mingyuan responded, smelling the fragrance approaching, and opened his eyes again, "Go back quickly, you have lived in the dormitory for so long, are you still afraid of being alone at home?"

"Brother...you are wrong, I didn't bring a blanket. We have been apart for so long, I just want to stay with you a little longer..." Yang Zhi explained in a low voice.

"Ha, okay, let's talk about ten dollars."

Xu Mingyuan sighed helplessly, forced himself to sit up, and turned on the desk lamp.

Little Yangzhi had just taken a bath. Her little face was so pretty and rosy. She kept rubbing her hair with the towel, filling the whole room with the pleasant scent of shampoo.

Seeing that Xu Mingyuan had no intention of giving up his seat for her, Yang Zhi felt a little depressed and had to sit down beside the bed.

Xu Mingyuan asked Xiao Yangzhi about everything that happened in school. She didn't have much to do normally, so she just talked about what she learned and which dishes in the cafeteria were more delicious.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, Yang Zhi racked his brains and had nothing more to say.

Yang Zhi would ask Xu Mingyuan every day about what happened during the military training, so it was not a good time to ask again now.

If you continue like this, you will definitely be kicked out of the room.

Suddenly, Yang Zhi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother, you've been in military training for half a month. Are you tired?"

"Is there any need to ask? Military training in college is much more tiring than in high school. There's never a moment of leisure. I'm so tired now that my back aches and my legs cramp."

Xu Mingyuan was really sleepy, but Xiao Yangzhi was silly, and it was unclear whether she understood the hint or not.

"Well, brother...how about I give you a back massage?" Yang Zhi said, biting her lip.

"It's okay, just have a good sleep." Xu Mingyuan waved his hand.

"Brother, you helped me to massage it before. I also want to help you. Brother, do you dislike my lack of strength..." Yang Zhi asked carefully.

"No."

"Then give it a try."

"Just wait until tomorrow."

"It works best before going to bed..."

"Okay, go ahead and hammer me, but don't hammer me to death."

Xu Mingyuan is a straightforward person and is annoyed by this kind of procrastination.

But as for Xiao Yangzhi, it was hard to say that she was too heavy, so she simply turned over and lay on the bed.

Yang Zhi carefully kicked off her slippers, afraid of making any noise, and stepped onto the mattress barefoot. She tiptoed to Xu Mingyuan's side and tapped gently.

The small poplar twig doesn't have much strength, and it feels like tickling, but it's quite comfortable.

After being tormented for the entire day, Xu Mingyuan finally closed his eyes.
