Chapter 200 Preparation
Chapter 200 Preparation
Yang Zhi trimmed her nails carefully. A girl like her who was bored in her free time could spend the whole day sitting there with her nail clippers in her hand.
Compared to the days of going hungry for nine meals in three days, life is much better now. With adequate nutrition, my nails are shiny and the roundness of my fingertips sparkles under the light.
My deskmate praised Yang Zhi's hands for being so beautiful and slender that it was enviable.
But after looking at it so many times, Yang Zhi no longer thought it was beautiful.
But his brother also praised it, so it should be pretty good, which made Yang Zhi a little happy.
In fact, from childhood to adulthood, what Yang Zhi was most satisfied with was her figure. As a nobody who didn't like to attract other people's attention, her ordinary chest gave Yang Zhi a full sense of security.
Especially when she was in primary school, if any female classmate developed early, some bad boys would say that she was not decent behind her back, and Yang Zhi was worried when she heard it. When she entered junior high school, although such language became less common, she was still talked about by some classmates.
Yang Zhi used to worry about what to do if the baby suddenly grew bigger. Should she tighten the rope?
Fortunately, Yang Zhi has never had this kind of trouble, but she feels a little annoyed when someone is staring at her face.
But now things are changing.
She found that when her brother was with Tao Shuxin, the second part he focused on was her face and chest.
It turns out that my brother also likes girls with big breasts.
This made Yang Zhi very discouraged. It was very likely that this was the reason why her brother chose Tao Shuxin...
If Xu Mingyuan knew that this unfortunate little Yang Zhi was observing these things all day long, he would definitely be devastated...
As a normal man, it is impossible for me to stare at a little girl's face all the time, right? That would be too unnatural.
Besides, Tao Shuxin herself thinks this is a very normal thing.
Xu Mingyuan wasn't looking at her with lustful intent, he was simply admiring her.
But in Yang Zhi's opinion, staring from time to time means paying attention. In school, her face is always being glanced at, and she has experienced this kind of gaze before.
For this reason, every time she went home on holiday, she would cook two bowls of bird's nest to eat. She even brought brown sugar to school and made a few cups of it every day.
However, it was of no use, Yang Zhi did not notice any changes in himself.
In this regard, the discouraged Yang Zhi had to settle for the next best option.
Since her brother likes to look at her slender and straight legs, Yang Zhi would change her thick woolen pants into more slim-fitting fleece leggings at home.
It's a little bit cold, but it's acceptable, and it's easy to wear and quite comfortable.
And even now, my brother would occasionally glance at himself while filing his toenails.
Yang Zhi was somewhat embarrassed by her brother's strange hobby, but she still slowed down and polished it carefully, as if she was polishing a work of art.
Xiao Yangzhi is thin and doesn't like sports, so even the soles of her feet are rosy.
People should have eyes that are good at discovering beauty, so that they can discover the colorful world. Xu Mingyuan felt that it should be okay for him to take a few more glances, because it was indeed very beautiful.
But Xu Mingyuan really couldn't imagine that this was the image of him in Xiao Yangzhi's mind.
If Xu Mingyuan knew this, he would definitely vomit blood...
Of course, Yang Zhi thought that his brother was still very bright and dignified, and he himself had no other options, so he had no choice but to do this...
Seeing Xiao Yangzhi shiver, Xu Mingyuan said, "If you're cold, sit over here. The heater is turned up."
Xu Mingyuan, who was half lying down, sat up and gave the seat on the soft chair to her.
"Um……"
Yang Zhi's face was a little twisted, her goal had not been achieved yet.
"Don't grind it anymore. It's been half an hour. You'll be bald by now."
Xu Mingyuan snatched the file from her hand, threw it into the small box, and pulled down her rolled-up trouser legs.
He is not cold-resistant to begin with, yet he shows off his calves, and he doesn’t feel the cold at all.
"Oh……"
"Hey, I just discovered that you like to show off." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"I'm not conceited, I'm just bored..."
"Go ahead, it's warm over there."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and didn't mention it again, urging her to stay near the heater.
"Brother, I'm not cold."
Yang Zhi resisted weakly.
"Can't you be honest, little girl?"
"Brother, I am very honest."
Yang Zhi explained hurriedly.
"Okay, I get it."
Xu Mingyuan had no choice but to pick up Xiao Yangzhi who was sitting next to him. She was so light and weightless that he turned her over and put her on the soft chair.
Normally, my brother rarely hugs me on his own initiative, and most of the time it happens after he’s drunk, let alone a princess hug.
It was only two seconds, Yang Zhi bit her lips lightly, she didn't even taste anything, and the next moment she changed positions.
I should have sat further away so I could get around the coffee table...
Yang Zhi was a little frustrated that he didn't seize the opportunity.
But the opportunity was something he had to fight for, and soon, Yang Zhi had another little idea.
"Brother, the radiator is so hot..."
Yang Zhi's instep touched the radiator and then pulled back.
"Is it hot?" Xu Mingyuan leaned forward and touched it. It felt about 50 to 60 degrees. He said, "It's OK. If you feel it's hot, put on your socks."
Old buildings cannot retain heat either. Except for the hot spots during heating hours, it is difficult for the warm water to reach 20 to 30 degrees on normal days.
"Well, the cotton socks have just been washed..."
Yang Zhi explained in a low voice that she washed her socks while soaking her feet, and her brother also saw it.
"You only have one pair left? Didn't I buy you a bag? Are they worn out?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"No, I left it in my room."
Yang Zhi was thinking whether she should tell her brother that the socks were in the bedside table in her room and ask him to help get them.
But I usually rush to do these little things. If I trouble my brother, wouldn’t that be a bit deliberate?
Just as Yang Zhi was stunned, Xu Mingyuan threw the small blanket he often used to cover himself with over to her. "Then you are covered with the blanket. Why can't your little head be flexible? I think you are almost stupid. Here, cover your feet so that you won't feel hot when you are next to the radiator."
"Oh, thank you, brother..."
After being scolded, Yang Zhi felt a little stuffy in her chest, but she still had to say thank you insincerely, which made her very uncomfortable.
This is the consequence of not preparing in advance.
Yang Zhi secretly made up his mind that next time he must be adequately prepared and take every little detail into consideration.
"Do you want to watch cartoons?" Xu Mingyuan asked.
"No, brother, only children watch cartoons, right?"
Yang Zhi shook her head, subtly reminding herself that she was no longer a child.
And in a few hours, it will be 05, and I will be 17 years old. I am just one step away from adulthood and will soon cross the line.
This made Yang Zhi a little happy, but more of a panic. If she grew up, she wouldn't be able to act like a child anymore.
"Haha, who told you this?" Xu Mingyuan laughed.
"Mom said that..." Yang Zhi said in a low voice.
"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Adults don't watch cartoons anymore? That's pure bullshit."
"Okay, but brother, don't you also dislike watching cartoons?" Yang Zhi asked.
"It's not that I don't watch any cartoons, it's just that there aren't any interesting cartoons."
"Brother, if you think it's boring, then I probably won't like watching it either..."
Yang Zhi's voice was very soft, but it sounded like it was a matter of course.
"Tsk tsk tsk, just you like to stay at home and be in a daze? I don't know what you are interested in. This life is so boring." Xu Mingyuan shook his head and said.
"I feel fine. I'm having fun daydreaming." Yang Zhi explained.
"Ha, your hobby is a bit niche." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Isn't that the case with my brother?"
Yang Zhi took a quick glance, then quickly turned around and asked in a low voice with a red face.
"Me? I think I'm a little different."
Xu Mingyuan scratched his head and smiled helplessly.
He usually doesn't watch movies or play games. He just reads the news and flirts with girls. Compared to his past self, he has really changed a lot.
"Ah."
Yang Zhi nodded in agreement.
"Bullshit, I've never seen a girl weirder than you." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Ah? Am I weird?" Yang Zhi asked carefully.
"Just kidding, you're just a little homebody. There are many people like you in the world. You're just one of thousands."
"Oh, that's good."
Yang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s okay to be a little weird, but it will be troublesome if your brother finds out.
"Haha, look at how capable you are."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and rubbed her head, then went back to the room to call the innocent and lovely Xiao Taotao.
Less than two minutes after he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door.
And Xu Mingyuan didn't even need to shout "come in", Xiao Yangzhi turned the door handle and carefully came in.
Now she knocked on the door just for the sake of showing her intention, without getting Xu Mingyuan's consent. It felt no different from entering her own room.
"Brother, it will be 05 in a little while. I will be back after staying for a while, just for a short while..." Yang Zhi prayed softly while hugging the quilt.
"Okay, come lie here, I'm warming you up."
Xu Mingyuan gave up his position to her.
Yang Zhi gathered her hair and put it aside, chatting with her brother who was leaning against the head of the bed.
I really couldn't find a topic to talk about, so in order to dispel my brother's doubts, I took the initiative to talk about Tao Shuxin.
Xu Mingyuan was fiddling with his phone at the same time and didn't notice Xiao Yangzhi approaching.
As we were chatting, my calves felt a chill from the cold touch.
"Why are your feet so cold?"
"Well, my brother's bed is still warmer."
Yang Zhi nodded to himself and said as if he didn't care.
"I'll turn on the electric blanket for you."
"No need, brother. The heater isn't cold yet. Turning on the electric blanket will cause a sore throat. It's very uncomfortable."
Yang Zhi frowned and reached into the warm quilt, grabbing his wrist.
"Yeah, where's your hot water bottle?"
Xu Mingyuan thought about it and didn't stand up.
It is very dry in winter and there is no humidifier in the house. Last time I saw Xiao Yangzhi having a nosebleed.
"I left it at school..."
"Why don't you buy a few more? You won't need them when you get home?"
Little Yangzhi's hands and feet were cold, and no one knew how she survived the winter. Worried that she would catch a cold again, Xu Mingyuan took out half of the quilt and pressed it on her.
"Okay, I'll buy it tomorrow."
Yang Zhi agreed very obediently.
Yang Zhi made preparations for tonight's operation.
She slept very late yesterday, and she didn't even look at Xu Mingyuan today, so she went to take an afternoon nap. Yang Zhi was already feeling sleepy at this time.
Even though I said I would be back soon, if I fell asleep, it wouldn't be considered a lie, right?
When seeing the sweet smile on Xiao Yangzhi's face, Xu Mingyuan did exactly as she had thought and did not wake her up.
