Chapter 190 Tenderness
Yang Zhi woke up early in the morning, washed up simply, hung the mask on her ears, and went out to buy breakfast.

When she went to the bathroom before going to bed last night, she accidentally heard her brother making a phone call in the room. Although she felt upset every time she heard it, she couldn't help but eavesdrop for a while.

Yang Zhi didn't dare to ask for too much at once, for she was afraid that she would lose even the chance to be a sister. She had to test it little by little and wait for the day when everything would come naturally.

She has a soft and slow temper, and the thing she lacks the most is patience...

The business at the Lao Zaotai breakfast shop was booming, with seven or eight people queuing in front of the door. However, the breakfast queue moved quickly, and Yangzhi's seat was next in line within two minutes.

"Two pork buns, two mushroom buns, two servings of tofu pudding, two servings of pot stickers, and two tea eggs."

Yang Zhi ordered the meal, took the change, unzipped her down jacket halfway open, and held the breakfast in her arms to keep warm.

She is full with half a bowl of tofu pudding, a bun and an egg, but she likes to order two servings.

Because my brother couldn’t finish it in the end, so he would force me to eat a portion of pot stickers and then finish the remaining half bowl of tofu pudding…

The feeling of a slightly bloated stomach isn't uncomfortable, but it's not comfortable either.

But Yang Zhi likes to lean against each other and rest after eating. Her stomach and mind will be satisfied, and she will greet a beautiful day.

When I got home, Xu Mingyuan had already gotten up. He went to wash his face with messy hair and sat down at the dining table in a daze.

Yang Zhi handed over the disposable chopsticks with the rough edges rubbed off, and her face was pulled by cold fingers that had just been touched by water, and a hot mushroom bun was stuffed into her slightly open mouth.

My brother always does this, but Yangzhi likes it very much.

"Brother, I really can't eat anymore..."

Yang Zhi rubbed her belly and pushed the bowl over.

"Have two more pot stickers."

One bowl of tofu pudding was not enough for Xu Mingyuan, so he ate half a bowl more.

"Oh……"

Yang Zhi felt warm in her heart when she saw that her brother didn't mind eating something she had eaten.

There were six pot stickers in a serving, fried in oil until they smelled delicious. She had just eaten three and forced herself to eat two more, so her stomach was already full.

After putting the last pot sticker into his brother's bowl, Yang Zhi thought for a moment, grabbed the spoon, quickly ate two mouthfuls of tofu pudding, and without saying anything, he ran to the sofa and lay down, apparently not wanting to get up again.

Xiao Yangzhi was fed midnight snacks and other food last night. She didn't want to eat and Xu Mingyuan didn't force her. She finished the rest herself, packed up the bag and threw it into the trash can.

At this time, Yang Zhi came over quietly and helped to clean up the dishes.

After watching the morning news, Xu Mingyuan went to do his own thing. Xiao Yangzhi poured the clothes that had been soaked last night into the washing machine, spun them dry and hung them up to dry, then went to the restaurant to do her homework.

The two did not go out at noon. Instead, they called the restaurant at the entrance of the community and asked them to deliver the food. The leftovers would be heated up in the evening.

Yang Zhi sat cross-legged on the sofa. Instead of going forward to touch her feet as usual, she kneaded the soles of her feet.

She didn't know if it would work, but she heard from the old doctor that it could invigorate blood circulation and unclog the meridians. She thought it would be a shame to waste two hundred dollars, so she decided to give it a try.

And most importantly, my brother also heard it yesterday.

"elder brother……"

Yang Zhi shouted softly.

"Well, what happened?"

Xu Mingyuan turned his head and saw that her little face was twisted and she looked uncomfortable.

"It's uncomfortable to sit down, how about you help me, brother?"

"Then you lie down."

Xu Mingyuan patted his thigh.

"No, just, just help me pinch it..."

The words had already been spoken, so Yang Zhi simply made up her mind and fell straight onto the sofa, moving her body up and down until her ankles were resting on his legs.

"it is good."

Xu Mingyuan can be called a master of foot massage, not to mention that he is a frequent massage customer. Xiao Yangzhi's feet are slender and beautiful, but they are not as soft as Tao Shuxin's.

Xu Mingyuan kneaded it while watching TV.

When I heard Xiao Yangzhi cry "Ah", I realized that she was clenching her teeth and enduring the pain.

Xu Mingyuan pinched her feet less harshly, and Yang Zhi could bear it now. However, her face turned red, and her soles felt itchy and sore.

After a while, Yang Zhi took advantage of Xu Mingyuan's inattention and secretly pulled off one of his long cotton socks.

When Xu Mingyuan found that the touch in his hands became smooth and tender, he discovered that Xiao Yangzhi had already taken off all her socks.

Looking at the round pearl, Xu Mingyuan no longer had the heart to rub it and became a little absent-minded.

But seeing that Xiao Yangzhi had her eyes closed and still looked uncomfortable, Xu Mingyuan turned his attention to the TV.

A thin layer of sweat appeared on Yang Zhi's forehead. Putting aside the strange emotions, her brother's technique was very good and quite comfortable...

Half an hour later, after digesting the lunch in his stomach, Xu Mingyuan covered Xiao Yangzhi with a blanket, yawned, and went back to his room to take a nap.

When he was halfway into sleep, he didn't notice the door was opened. He only felt the quilt was lifted, and then a warm and cool willow branch came in.

My brother wouldn't care if I wore a sweater in broad daylight. Yang Zhi noticed this and struggled to get into his arms, grabbing the corner of the pillow.

But today Yang Zhi was bolder. She hugged Xu Mingyuan's arm tightly and closed her eyes, not wanting him to pull away.

When she opened her eyes again, there was no one around her.

Yang Zhi's heart started to panic, and he quickly looked at the alarm clock on the bedside table. The hour hand had already pointed to half past one.

I slept for a long time, at least more than an hour.

When she hurried out of the room and saw Xu Mingyuan leaning over the coffee table reading a newspaper, Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Zhi felt sorry for wasting half an hour of time together, so he ran to sit aside. "Brother, what is this?"

Yang Zhi asked, pointing at the newspaper-sized flyer.

This is the flyer that Xu Mingyuan took when he and Tao Shuxin went shopping yesterday and put it in his bag. He happened to see it today and had the idea of ​​buying a house.

After teaching Yang Zhi how to recognize the pictures, Xu Mingyuan said, "Take a look, which room layout do you like?"

"Brother, are we moving?"

"No, I plan to buy a house in Jiangcheng."

Xu Mingyuan planned to move off campus. Unlike what he had imagined, going to college was fun, but he was still a spectator and it was difficult for him to truly integrate into the life.

After all, his motive for going to college was not pure. First, he wanted to go to Jiangda because Tao Shuxin had applied to her, and second, he wanted to build a career at the same time.

After becoming mentally mature, it is difficult to face a group of young people with simple ideas, and I am not willing to take the initiative to make friends.

In addition, the seniors he has been interacting with recently are in their twenties and twenties, all of whom are eager to start their own businesses, making Xu Mingyuan feel more like a graduate.

"Are you not going back to Nanxi in the future?" Yang Zhi asked worriedly.

"Yes, I'm just planning to live off campus next semester."

"Then choose a small house. This one is pretty good."

Yang Zhi pointed to a small single room of 40 square meters with a living room, a bathroom and a bedroom, and glanced at him inadvertently.

"Isn't this too small?"

“Not small…”

Yang Zhi persuaded in a low voice.

What she thought was that if she was admitted to Jiangnan University, they could live off campus together.

A smaller room is fine. My brother won't let me sleep on the floor in the living room, right?

"Hiss, that's not going to work. I was thinking of asking Tao Tao to move out."

After a little consideration, Xu Mingyuan decisively rejected Xiao Yangzhi's idea.

It's just a small single room, and you still want to ask Tao Shuxin to go to school with you?
Even if the girl had feelings for him, if the words were too straightforward, the thin-skinned Tao Shuxin would not be able to find a reason to deceive himself and let go of his worries.

"Oh, then let's choose this one..."

Yang Zhi pointed to a large house with three bedrooms and two living rooms and said.

"It's either small or big. Why is the contrast so big for you?" Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Brother, you said that buying a house early will make money, so why not buy a bigger one..." Yang Zhi said hypocritically.

"That's fine, we'll see when the time comes."

Xu Mingyuan didn't have much demand for a house and had no intention of investing. He just wanted to live comfortably and find out what kind of house Xiao Yangzhi liked.

Yang Zhi spent the whole afternoon hanging around Xu Mingyuan, not reading books or doing homework. She could do her homework in the evening, but she could only spend the whole afternoon with her brother.

She went to see Xu Mingyuan fiddling with the computer, played games with him for a while, and practiced aerobics in the living room. Finally, she waited for the phone call that she didn't want to hear, but was sure to call.

"Brother, are you leaving?" Yang Zhi asked with a frustrated look on his face.

"Well, we have to leave early today. It's getting dark quickly and there's snow on the road. We can't delay any longer."

"Let's finish our meal before leaving..."

"Okay, there's still time for a meal."

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi looking upset, Xu Mingyuan put his arm around her thin shoulders and shook her.

"Ah."

Yang Zhi nodded and went to heat up the leftover food from lunch.

After dinner, Yang Zhi slowly packed Xu Mingyuan's luggage, hoping to take longer.

Unfortunately, no matter how slowly we clean up, it will only take ten minutes longer at most.

"Brother, you must walk slowly on the road and pay attention to safety. Can you give me a call when you get to Jiangcheng?"

"Yes, the road is not very slippery and the highway has been cleared of snow." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.

"Goodbye, brother..."

Yang Zhi wanted to take him downstairs, but was held down.

"Well, you can still get to No. 3 Middle School by taxi at 7 a.m. tomorrow morning. Just go there on time. You don't have to get up too early."

"okay, I get it."

Yang Zhi lay by the door frame and watched him go downstairs.

I heard the door of the building open and close, and hurried to the window.

Seeing him turn around, Yang Zhi waved her hands hurriedly. After getting a response, she watched the car lights go away.

The empty room made Yang Zhi feel uncomfortable for a moment, but then he remembered that he only had half of the homework assigned by the teacher left, so he hurried to finish it.

It was not until nine o'clock in the evening that Yang Zhi finished the last bit of homework, took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

I wrapped my hair with a towel and without even waiting for it to dry completely, I took a few books and went to the master bedroom.

After drawing the curtains and turning on the desk lamp, Yang Zhi covered his head for a long time before coming out from under the quilt.

Then he followed his brother's example and recited his lessons leaning against the head of the bed.

Whenever Xu Mingyuan left, this was the only warmth that Xiao Yangzhi had left at home...
