Chapter 421: Under Control
Chapter 421: Under Control
The camouflage uniforms for military training are baggy and ugly, but they are also the clothes that can best highlight one's appearance. However, girls as delicate as Xiao Yangzhi are still too rare.
Pretty girls will be pursued by some people, but not many people will have the confidence to pursue girls who are too pretty.
Xiao Yangzhi is a girl who is a little too pretty. If she had been in the period of selecting school beauties two or three years ago, she would definitely have been on the list.
As for the remaining small group of confident people, seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was being taken care of, they would not deliberately harass her, because Xu Mingyuan's portrait was still printed in Jiangnan University's admission brochure.
Some gossipers spread the news, so that almost everyone who knew Xiao Yangzhi knew that she was Xu Mingyuan's sister, thus avoiding a lot of unnecessary trouble.
After all, students have been under the rules of the campus for a long time, and the deterrent power of seniors is higher than that of teachers. This mentality will not be smoothed out until they enter the society.
Usually when Xu Mingyuan was at school, he would come to see Xiao Yangzhi who was in military training. If he didn't have time, he would entrust the care to Xiao Taotao and ask her to look after her from time to time.
This was the first time in little Yangzhi's school life that she had received such care. She no longer had to go to school alone.
Although Xiao Yangzhi said nothing and Xu Mingyuan did not ask, it was not difficult to see that her mood was getting better and better.
For Xiao Yangzhi, going to school is no longer a task that needs to be completed regularly, but a wonderful period of youth that she can enjoy with peace of mind.
Xu Mingyuan used to fall into a misunderstanding. He always wanted Xiao Yangzhi to experience all the stages of life completely.
But now, Xu Mingyuan has figured it out.
Xiao Yangzhi doesn't need any experience at all. No matter how much experience she has, it will be a torture of wasting time for her. It is better for her to let herself go as soon as possible and free herself from the shackles that bind her.
He dragged Tao Shuxin for a stroll around the campus for the whole afternoon. When it was time for lunch, the three of them simply had a rotating hot pot meal in the cafeteria.
After taking a short stroll to digest the food after dinner, Tao Shuxin waved to the two of them before walking to the dormitory building. She then swung her skirt and skipped back to the dormitory.
"Brother, why doesn't she go home?
When they got on the bus, Yang Zhi finally took off the hat he had been wearing all day, rolled it up and put it in his pocket, and asked casually.
"Taotao has his own things to do. There are a lot of things to do at the beginning of the school year. How can you be like me who does nothing?"
Xu Mingyuan knew that the little girl was in a hurry to go home, so he didn't hesitate. The first thing he did after getting in the car was to start the engine, step on the accelerator, reverse out of the garage, and drive directly to the south gate of Jiangda.
"Because my brother helps me take care of it, I don't have to think about other things."
Yang Zhi smiled faintly and reached out to pinch his arm, but was afraid of delaying his driving, so she withdrew her hand after a light touch.
"Haha, you are quite smart."
Xu Mingyuan smiled and wanted to reach out and pinch her little face.
After Xiao Yangzhi came over, Xu Mingyuan, feeling satisfied, drove with peace of mind.
Yang Zhi untied her hair tie, shook her damp hair, and leaned against the car window, enjoying the evening breeze.
Yang Zhi doesn't like big cities. The steel jungle is far less pleasing to the eye than the green mountains and clear waters, but now she can observe from the perspective of an observer.
In fact, Jiangcheng is not that bad. Beihai Campus is located in the outer ring of the city. It is very quiet away from the vicinity of Jiangda. As long as it is quiet, Yang Zhi will feel relaxed.
The days with Xu Mingyuan are always relaxing. There is no need to worry about anything and you can enjoy life with peace of mind.
"Brother, the laundry detergent and garbage bags at home are almost used up. How about we go to the supermarket?"
When they were about to pass the supermarket, Yang Zhi spoke up to remind them.
"Aren't you tired after a day of military training? If there's anything you need at home, I'll bring it back tomorrow." Xu Mingyuan said.
"I'm not that tired now, brother. Let's go together. If we buy too little, we will have to come again tomorrow, which is very troublesome." Yang Zhi said.
"Then go ahead. It's a good opportunity to buy some fruit snacks or something."
Xu Mingyuan parked the car at a supermarket near the community, took out his wallet from his bag, and stuffed it into Xiao Yangzhi's pocket.
"Brother, I'm so dirty and sweaty."
Seeing that Xu Mingyuan wanted to hug her waist, Yang Zhi reminded him in a low voice.
"Why is it dirty? Didn't you have military training yesterday?"
Xu Mingyuan pulled Xiao Yangzhi into his arms, buried his head in her delicate neck and sniffed her.
"The intensity was not very strong in the past two days. Today, I couldn't get a shady spot, so I was exposed to the sun for most of the day." Yang Zhi explained.
"I don't smell any sweat, it smells nice."
Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi was just taking advantage of the situation, Xu Mingyuan said with amusement.
"No, it stinks... Hey~ Brother, what are you doing..."
Yang Zhi had just said half of her words when she felt someone lick the back of her pink neck and she quickly shrank her head.
"It's a little bit salty, but I'll be fine after taking a shower when I get home," said Xu Mingyuan.
"Brother, you really don't mind." Yang Zhi said with a twisted face.
"Ha, of course I don't mind." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"If you really want to, can you wait for me to get home and take a shower first?"
There was a gleam in Yang Zhi's watery eyes, and she looked at him with a smile on her lips.
"You little girl, where did you learn all this? You are so good at seducing people!" Xu Mingyuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Brother, don't you like it?" Yang Zhi asked.
"Of course I like it." Xu Mingyuan answered without hesitation.
"Isn't that good? No need to pretend to be serious..."
Yang Zhi muttered softly, she knew Xu Mingyuan could hear her.
"Haha, you're looking for a beating, right?"
Xu Mingyuan wanted to hold Xiao Yangzhi's neck on the spot and give her a beating.
"Giggle..."
Yang Zhi let out a laugh like a silver bell, quickly got out of his arms and escaped first.
In fact, Yang Zhi really likes going to the supermarket. It gives her a sense of satisfaction like a hamster stockpiling food.
Xu Mingyuan followed beside him pushing a cart. Yang Zhi also put her hands on the handle, but she didn't use much strength. Her eyes were completely on the shelves.
When two people live together, the things they need on a daily basis are not as simple as one plus one. Some items are consumed very quickly, such as paper towels.
Plus, Tao Shuxin would come over occasionally, so the energy would be consumed even faster.
Moreover, Tao Shuxin had no self-awareness. Every time she came to the supermarket, she only bought snacks. The rest of the items had to be purchased by Yang Zhi herself. She bought a trunk full of large and small bags of things. This week, she didn't have to go out to buy anything. She could spend her time at home in peace.
The two of them returned home carrying their things. The first thing Yang Zhi did after taking off his shoes was to take Xu Mingyuan to the bathroom.
Yang Zhi really couldn't stand the sticky feeling of sweat drying and then coming out, and then drying again.
If I don’t clean it thoroughly, I will always feel itchy all over and feel very uncomfortable.
Of course, Xu Mingyuan went in with her and simply helped her wipe her back, and did nothing else.
Xiao Yangzhi was extremely tired, her waist and legs were sore from the whole day. How could Xu Mingyuan bear to torture her?
"Brother, I'll go hang the clothes up first and I'll be down soon."
Yang Zhi's pretty face blushed as she wrapped her hair in a towel, took out the dried and hot clothes from the washing machine, and prepared to put them on the roof to let the breeze blow all night.
"Let's go together. It's a nice day today with few clouds. Let's go and look at the stars."
Xu Mingyuan took the mop and wiped the water stains on the floor before walking out of the bathroom.
"Brother, do you like watching it?" Yang Zhi asked, turning around.
"I'll accompany you to take a look. What is there to see through the window every day?" Xu Mingyuan said casually.
"I still have a lot of things to pack." Yang Zhi scratched his head and said hesitantly.
"Why don't we clean it up tomorrow? Why do we have to do it now?" Xu Mingyuan said.
"Oh, okay." Yang Zhi nodded and replied.
Since they were going to the balcony to enjoy the evening breeze, Yang Zhi was not in a hurry to hang out the clothes. She first poured a thermos cup of herbal tea.
Yang Zhi usually drinks tea with Xu Mingyuan, and now she also likes this refreshing taste with a hint of bitterness.
upstairs.
Xu Mingyuan moved the rocking chair from the attic to the balcony. Yang Zhi was standing on tiptoe to hang clothes on the clothesline. Seeing Xu Mingyuan struggling to move the rocking chair, she hurriedly hung up the clothes and ran over to help.
The rocking chair is not heavy, but it is big and difficult to move. With the help of a small willow branch to lift one corner and find the right direction, it becomes much easier to move.
Before Xu Mingyuan could sit down, Yang Zhi squeezed in and pushed him down on the rocking chair.
They moved towards each other and found a comfortable position. Yang Zhi lay on her side in Xu Mingyuan's arms, without opening her eyes to look at the stars.
People only look at the stars in the sky when they are bored, and Xu Mingyuan is right next to them, so how could Yang Zhi be bored?
"Brother, don't you want to?"
Yang Zhi gently rubbed Xu Mingyuan's calf with the sole of her foot and asked with watery eyes.
"Don't I have anything else to think about all day? Even if you don't feel tired, I do." Xu Mingyuan said speechlessly.
"I know brother is doing this for my own good, but it doesn't matter to me..." Yang Zhi whispered in his ear.
"I like you as a person, not your body." Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.
"You should like them all..."
The delicate willow branches picked out the tiny thorns in his words and forced him to admit it.
"Haha, yes, I like them all." Xu Mingyuan said with a smile.
"Ok!"
Yang Zhi nodded, hugged him and closed her eyes.
The most comfortable thing after taking a shower is to enjoy the breeze. The night breeze in summer will take away the moisture from your body and bring a hint of coolness. It is neither cold nor hot, but very comfortable and cozy.
"elder brother……"
Yang Zhi called him softly.
"Ah."
Xu Mingyuan nodded in response.
"It's so comfortable. I'm a little sleepy."
There was a hint of laziness in Yang Zhi's soft voice. She put his arms behind her back, asked him to hold her tight, and then she didn't move.
"Then you go to sleep."
Xu Mingyuan was also very leisurely. He lay in the rocking chair, looking at the sky, smelling the faint fragrance of the little poplar branches and the scent of laundry detergent brought by the warm wind. At this moment, he didn't even want to move a finger.
"I don't feel like moving anymore..."
Yang Zhi closed his eyes and spoke as if he had telepathic connection with her.
Yang Zhi is very aware of how clingy she is, but she can't stop the feeling of dependence in her heart, like a dam that is about to burst, and it is difficult to smooth it out. She has to hug her brother to calm down.
Being overly clingy is actually quite annoying, but my brother doesn’t care. He can tolerate all small shortcomings and is happy to stick to him.
My brother wasn't like this before.
Like in the past, every time I stayed with him for too long, he would chase me aside.
But after persistent adjustment, my brother finally became the person he liked the most.
This was a great achievement that Yang Zhi had spent a long time and a lot of effort on, and he had to put in every bit of effort every moment.
To be honest, when Yang Zhi thinks back on it now, he feels so tired.
But hard work always pays off, and I won’t have to work so hard anymore.
My brother said that he was very smart, and Yang Zhi also thought that he was very smart.
Although I spent a lot of energy, I finally got my brother under my control...
"Go to sleep. When you fall asleep, I will carry you down." Xu Mingyuan replied.
"Ah."
Yang Zhi curled up in his arms and nodded gently, no longer thinking about anything...
