MTL - Chasing Summer-Chapter 68
Why is the elevator descending so slowly?
Is it usually this slow?
…
Lin Zhexia looked at the number of floors displayed above the button and thought.
Seeing that she didn't respond, the man behind her suddenly let go of the hand that was pressing on her head, then lowered his hand a little, and gently pulled her earlobe: "...Speak."
"The wind is too strong," Lin Zhexia finally pursed her lips, intending to forcibly avoid it, "I can't hear clearly."
Chi Yao: "Where is the wind coming from in the elevator?"
Lin Zhexia: "My brain is leaking."
"..."
She added another sentence: "I just have a brain problem, please send me to the hospital for examination."
Chi Yao stopped talking.
Someone just came in the elevator, Lin Zhexia hurriedly took two steps forward, throwing off the person who was hanging on her body.
The residents in this building are all acquaintances.
The aunt who came in said enthusiastically, "It's Zhexia, are you home for the holidays?"
Lin Zhexia nodded: "Yes, Aunt Liu."
The aunt turned her head again and saw the person standing behind her. The two stood a little distance apart, but there seemed to be an invisible magnetic field surging between them.
Lin Zhexia's feeling that she was "having an affair" with Chi Yao lasted all day.
The two went to the grocery store to buy soy sauce. After she paid, Chi Yao habitually wanted to lend her hand, and she held the soy sauce bottle tightly in her hand: "Thank you for the kind person surnamed Chi, but no, I can handle it. "
Chi Yao's outstretched hand froze in the air.
In just half a day, his address changed from boyfriend to a person with the surname Chi.
Chi Yao: "Just take soy sauce, don't you think too much?"
Lin Zhexia: "People with the surname Chi, please be careful in your words and deeds, and don't talk to me."
As she walked, she thought of something, "By the way, I have to tell He Yang, so that he doesn't slip up."
"..."
At first, Chi Yao firmly believed that she was thinking too much, and the disclosure of this matter actually had no effect.
Lin Zhexia walked halfway, saw that there was no one on the road, and put the soy sauce bottle in his hand into his hand: "Take it."
Chi Yao took it.
In front of Chi Yao, she took out her phone and clicked on the chat box with Tang Shuxuan.
Then she sent two sentences without changing her face.
- Let me tell you something secretly.
- Chi Yao and I are in a relationship.
Today is a holiday, Tang Shuxuan responded to the news very quickly.
Tang Shuxuan: Let me tell you something secretly, Chen Lin and I are also in love.
Tang Shuxuan: Actually, we have been together for a long time behind your back.
Chi Yao: "..."
"Mom—soy sauce."
After returning home, Lin Zhexia ran into the kitchen.
"Why did it take me so long to buy soy sauce? My dishes are almost ready." Lin He muttered.
Lin Zhexia was talking nonsense: "It's rare for me to come back from Nanxiang Street, and the owner of the grocery store also misses me very much. I will catch up with the boss."
Lin He saw it right away: "People will think you are a ghost."
Because of Chi Yao and Lin Zhexia's return, the Lin family became lively.
Lin Zhexia hid in the kitchen, stealing something to eat while accompanying Lin He.
Lin He: "Don't eat it, what does it look like?"
Lin Zhexia: "It's all from my family, no one will mind."
In the living room, Wei Ping and Chi Yao were sitting and chatting as before.
Wei Ping reads the newspaper with glasses on: "The current international situation..."
Compared with his home in Beijing this year, it is only when Chi Yao sits here that he truly feels like "going home", surrounded by countless familiar details softly. Over the years, his love for "home" The impression seems to be here all the time.
Lin Zhexia is here.
When a table of people ate, nothing special happened.
Even the delicious dishes were put into Chi Yao's bowl by Lin He. Chi Yao noticed the look in her eyes and put them back to her.
If she didn't need him to pinch her before, she would take the initiative to grab it by herself.
But today is different, she always remembers to keep a distance from Chi Yao, so she held the bowl and declined politely: "No, you can eat by yourself, I'm at home, just eat some white rice."
Lin He didn't care, and asked casually, "Do you two meet often in school?"
The two of them seem to have not made a good confession—
Chi Yao: "Yes."
Lin Zhexia: "No see."
Lin He became suspicious: "Are you seeing it or not?"
Lin Zhexia said firmly: "No, the campus is too big, and everyone is not in the same major, so how could they meet often. He lied to you."
Chi Yao put down his chopsticks, and gently pinched her hand under the table.
The two of them sometimes communicate without talking.
Lin Zhexia was able to interpret his meaning from this small movement: you wait.
This "waiting" didn't make her wait too long.
Retribution came quickly.
After the meal, Lin Zhexia volunteered to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Of course, Lin He would not let go of any opportunity to command her. Sitting with Wei Ping and watching TV, he also told her: "Remember to wash the pot on the stove—"
Lin Zhexia put on the gloves for washing dishes. Halfway through washing, she felt that the shoulder straps were falling down a little.
She was wearing gloves on her hands, and she couldn't use her hands in the middle of washing the dishes, so she could only tilt her head, trying to save it.
When Chi Yao entered the kitchen, what he saw was her shrugging her shoulders and tilting her head.
"What's wrong."
Lin Zhexia was startled: "Why did you come in?"
Chi Yao closed the kitchen door: "Don't worry, they are watching TV."
Lin Zhexia was embarrassed to say that her shoulder straps were falling down, so she continued to wash the dishes.
Instead, Chi Yao walked around behind her: "Where does it itch."
"..."
big brother.
It's not itchy.
Even if we were the best brothers in the past, you would not understand the pain of the sudden drop of the shoulder strap.
But before she had time to find another reason, Chi Yao had already "kindly" put his hand on her shoulder: "...here?"
Her shoulders were extremely sensitive now, Chi Yao's fingers touched there through the fabric, and a certain precarious sense of uneasiness intensified.
"No," she wanted to avoid it, but there was only so much space in the kitchen, so she could only say, "Don't touch it, it doesn't itch anymore."
Chi Yao curled up his fingers, but before making any movements, he vaguely felt a thin belt under the fabric.
The position of the strap card is a bit crooked.
He fiddled with the fabric curiously, and the shoulder strap that was stuck fell completely.
Lin Zhexia's hand washing the dishes stopped, a little broken: "...I told you not to touch it."
On the shoulder, the boy's bony fingers also paused.
"You were working on this just now?"
"...well, it just fell down."
For a moment, the atmosphere in the kitchen room became ambiguous.
Only the sound of running water remained.
The two played "good friends" for a day in front of Lin He and Wei Ping, and the confinement of "good friends" was accidentally broken at this moment.
Chi Yao seemed to want to tear the confinement more thoroughly. After pausing his fingers, he opened the girl's loose collar and poked **** in. His fingers were long, and he could easily find the hanging strap. One finger hooked the strap and pulled it back.
Lin Zhexia turned her back to him, her whole face was flushed red.
This act feels more intimate than kissing.
His fingers were very hot, and the place where he passed was numb.
"Okay," Chi Yao pulled out his finger, "...Do you need to fix the other side?"
Lin Zhexia accelerated the speed of washing the dishes in her hands, and said in a low voice, "No need, you go out quickly."
"I'll wash it for you." He said again.
"No need." Lin Zhexia continued to refuse.
Chi Yao still didn't leave.
He lowered his eyes, staring at the girl's slender neck and the white shoulder straps looming from the collar.
"Girlfriend, I just helped you," he said, "It shouldn't be too much to reward you."
Lin Zhexia: "?"
Lin Zhexia: "Do you mean help me?"
Chi Yao asked back: "It doesn't count."
Lin Zhexia: "That's called self-assertion."
Chi Yao said "Oh": "Since you don't need it, then I'll pull it off and restore it to its original state."
"..."
This kind of thing, once is enough.
Lin Zhexia conceded, "What reward do you want?"
Chi Yao didn't answer her, just told her not to move, and then she maintained the posture of washing dishes with her back to him, looking at the slowly flowing water in front of her eyes, the next second, the person behind her lowered her head and approached her with a hot kiss landed on the side of her neck.
Even if you can't see it, you know that their current posture is very ambiguous.
The position of this kiss reminded her of the shoulder straps that were hooked up just now, and she was in a daze for a while.
In just a few seconds, something that no one expected happened——
The kitchen door was suddenly pulled open.
Lin He held two bowls: "Xia Xia, I just forgot, there are still two bowls needed..."
The conversation stopped here.
Looking at the scene of the two of them intertwined and lingering in front of her, she was stunned.
Seeing that something was wrong, Wei Ping got up and walked over, asking, "What's wrong?"
Chi Yao didn't expect to be caught.
He just wanted to come in to tease her, and since she didn't want to make it public yet, he didn't intend to reveal his identity.
"Uncle Wei, Aunt He."
He was about to explain, but was interrupted by Lin Zhexia.
In desperation, Lin Zhexia didn't know where the courage came from at this time. She first turned off the tap, took off the rubber gloves, and then said to Lin He and Wei Ping very calmly: "The thing is what you see, anyway. You all regard him as your son, now it should not be a problem for you to treat him as your son-in-law."
"..."
ten minutes later.
The four sat face to face and had a family meeting.
Lin He was unusually serious: "When did it start?"
Lin Zhexia wanted to talk, but Chi Yao pressed his hand under the table: "I just started dating some time ago, and I wanted to tell you when I came back this time. It's my problem that I haven't found a chance."
Lin He recalled the subtle details of the two of them coming back this time.
For example, Lin Zhexia asked her "how do you feel about Chi Yao", these details were omitted at the time, but in retrospect, there are traces to follow.
Before Lin Zhexia went to college, she also thought about her daughter's relationship more or less.
In private, he and Wei Pingchang wondered if Lin Zhexia would fall in love.
If you fall in love, what kind of boy will you choose?
…
I just didn't expect this day to come so soon.
Moreover, the person she brought back was Chi Yao.
That Chi Yao who she grew up watching grow up.
The two children have been inseparable since childhood, and grew up noisy and regardless of gender.
Lin He was shocked and shocked. Compared with being unacceptable, she considered the question more deeply: "Have you thought about it? You have known each other since you were young. Are you sure that your feelings for each other are love? Falling in love is not a small matter when you were young, it is a big deal , can't be careless."
"Aunt He," Chi Yao looked at her and said, "I have liked her for a long time."
Lin He was dumbfounded for a moment.
These words came out of Chi Yao's mouth, not without persuasiveness.
She also noticed how good their relationship was before and how much Chi Yao took care of Lin Zhexia.
Lin He: "One last question."
She stretched out a finger and pointed to her daughter, "Why did you fall in love with her?"
Lin Zhexia: "...?"
"What you said is wrong," Lin Zhexia raised his voice, "What do you mean, how could you fall in love with me?"
Lin He: "It's not easy for someone with long eyes to fall in love with you."
Lin Zhexia: "..."
In the end, it was Wei Ping who came out to smooth things over: "I think it's good to be in love with each other for a long time, and the fat water doesn't flow into the fields of outsiders. Instead of finding someone you don't know to fall in love with, it's better to find someone who knows everything..."
Lin Zhexia did not expect that her relationship with Chi Yao would be made public in such a form.
In the end, Lin He and Wei Ping sat in the restaurant for a long time, and said to them: "Since you have made a decision, we will not interfere. If you are together, let's talk about it. We hope you are happy more than anyone else."
On the way to send Chi Yao to He Yang's house, she still felt like she was dreaming.
"That's how we... made it public?"
Lin He didn't break down, nor scolded her.
Even bless them.
Lin Zhexia asked again: "Do Uncle Chi and Aunt Bai know what happened to us? Should I also meet them?"
In her expectation, Chi Hanshan and Bai Qin definitely didn't know about it.
But Chi Yao said, "They know you."
Lin Zhexia: "Huh?"
"I knew it a long time ago." He called up the chat records with Bai Qin and showed her, "A while ago, he asked me if I caught up with anyone."
On the screen of the phone, Bai Qin's profile picture was a picture of attracting wealth and treasure.
-son
- I haven't caught him for more than a month, don't say it's my son when you go out
Lin Zhexia asked: "How did they know? Have you told them already?"
Chi Yao exited the WeChat interface, and tapped the screen saver with his fingers.
Lin Zhexia saw the landscape photo with her.
Before today, she thought that Chi Hanshan and Bai Qin seemed to be so difficult to get along with, so they might not like her.
And... she had contradicted them as a child.
It never occurred to her that she had been accepted long before she knew it.
Then Chi Yao pushed her the WeChat business cards of Bai Qin and Chi Hanshan.
After sending Chi Yao off, she returned home and added it carefully.
Before he could decide what to send, the news from Chi Hanshan and Bai Qin came first.
Chi Hanshan was simple and rude, and what he sent was a transfer, with a note: A meeting gift for his future daughter-in-law.
What Bai Qin sent was a smiling face.
Lin Zhexia thought about it, and returned a rose specially for middle-aged and elderly people.
This rose.
The elders seem to be very kind.
Even though she knew that Chi Hanshan and Bai Qin had a good impression of her, she was still very cautious when facing the parents of the person she liked, fearing that something might go wrong.
She continued typing on the screen: Hello Aunt Bai, I...
Her little composition has just begun.
Bai Qin sent the next sentence: Thank you for growing up with him.
