MTL - Puppy Only Has One Summer-Chapter 3
Ning Bei came out of the bathroom, while Nan Xia was still waiting for his order.
"You can order two more, I'm worried you don't have enough food."
Ning Bei sat directly opposite Nan Xia this time, and he saw Nan Xia ordered two West Lake Beef Soup and one Mango Panji.
His face was unharmed, and there was still a little drumming in his heart.
After looking at the menu for a few minutes, my heart finally calmed down.
Ning Bei ordered another small rice roll, and handed out the menu.
Seeing his appearance, Nan Xia couldn't help laughing.
From yesterday to today, Ning Bei looked a little unfamiliar with her, but when chatting, Nan Xia could still feel that the friendship they had for so many years when they were young has not disappeared.
Maybe it's because boys like Ning Bei who don't talk much don't like to show their emotions too much by nature. I hurriedly picked him up back to school yesterday, and didn't have time to look at him carefully. Today I finally had time to look at him completely.
Nan Xia propped her chin with her palm, and looked at Ning Bei with a smile.
The body shape is already that of an adult, but there is still a feeling of thinness of a teenager. Wearing a white T-shirt, his sharp shoulder blades could be vaguely seen.
Compared with before, the eyebrows and eyes have been completely stretched, and when there is no expression, it is a bit like a young man's silence. Childishness and maturity become an intertwined force, inseparable, but it also easily brings charm that people can't take their eyes off.
It is the unique charm of a boy of his age.
Nan Xia asked, "Has Xiao Bei fallen in love?"
Ning Bei immediately denied it: "No."
"There must have been many girls chasing after me in high school."
"No."
"Did you see someone you like in your college class?"
"No."
He denied Sanlian, and Nan Xia smiled even more, her eyes were bent into small crescents.
A sense of pleasure teasing her younger brother made her want to stop.
So he pretended to be serious and said: "What kind of girl does my brother like? I can help the staff at that time."
Ning Bei glanced at Nan Xia with some resentment, and then looked away.
"No."
Nan Xia: "..."
"Xiao Bei."
"Huh?" Ning Bei looked over again.
"...You're not gay, are you?"
Ning Bei: "..."
"Nanxia!"
Ning Bei rarely called Nan Xia's name as a warning.
Nan Xia blinked immediately, and reached over the table to touch Ning Bei's hair.
"My sister is wrong, please apologize to my brother."
Ning Bei's face suddenly became hot again, he immediately pretended to be a little depressed, and turned his head to look out the window.
Ningbei had heard of Lincheng's morning tea for a long time. The one that Nan Xia brought him to was a time-honored restaurant, and he would feel much better if he had something hot in the morning.
After the two of them finished eating, Nan Xia asked him if he would go back to the dormitory directly at noon or go to her house to sit for a while.
"My mother brought a lot of local products over last time, some of which are ready-to-eat. If you like it, you can take some back."
Ning Bei nodded, "I like it."
"Okay, then let's go to the supermarket to buy something, you can eat at my house at noon, and get some souvenirs by the way."
Ning Bei tried his best to hold back the ups and downs in his heart, and nodded several times heavily.
The two then went to the supermarket.
Ning Bei was pushing the shopping cart, and Nan Xia was walking in front of him, turning around from time to time to ask him what he would like to eat at noon, and if he had any favorite snacks.
Every time Ning Bei answered, he said yes, as if he couldn't wait for Nan Xia to turn his back to him.
In this way, he can greedily, long-termly, and unscrupulously look at Nan Xia, watching her put one hand on the front of the shopping cart, and watching the two of them walk together like the closest couple.
The idea is simply poison.
But he couldn't control the corners of his mouth that rose slightly.
Nan Xia turned her head, and Ning Bei immediately changed his expression.
She looked at the things in the shopping cart, "Is it too much to carry?"
"No, I can carry them all."
"It looks like it will be packed in three or four bags?"
"You don't need to carry any of them."
Nan Xia was shocked, "Can you carry it?"
Ning Bei: "Yes."
After the two checked out, they packed three bags in total. Without further ado, Ning Bei took the three bags into his hands.
"Give me a heavy one, or you will be too tired."
Ning Bei walked around her: "It's not heavy."
Even though Nanxia knew that boys were stronger, she was ashamed to let Ning Bei carry three bags by herself.
Nan Xia held Ning Bei back, reaching out to get the bag again.
Ning Bei suddenly put all the bags in his left hand, and Nan Xia was taken aback.
In the next second, she noticed that Ning Bei directly hugged herself with his right hand.
With a sudden sense of weightlessness, Nan Xia flew into the air.
She immediately hugged Ning Bei tightly subconsciously.
With solid arms, Nanxia realized for the first time the difference in body shape between men and women. He is like an indestructible Eiffel Tower, not moving at all.
An arm like an iron bucket hung her firmly on her body, and Nan Xia's heartbeat accelerated inexplicably.
"It's fine to carry you with me." Ning Bei said sullenly.
Nan Xia tightened her fingers and patted him on the back: "... Put me down quickly."
Only then did Ning Bei carefully put Nan Xia back on the ground, turned around and walked forward with three bags in hand.
The flowing wind refills between them.
It also took away the inexplicable heat from Nan Xia's body.
Ning Bei's back was not far in front of him, and the breeze blew out his broad, flat upper body, which made Nanxia suddenly realize that besides being a younger brother that she could "tease" at will, Ning Bei was already a grown man .
This thought made her slightly confused, as if entering a chaotic transformation zone.
The two then arrived at Nanxia's community by bus. Nan Xia lives in a mid-range community close to her company, most of which are local residents of Lincheng, and the staff is relatively simple.
The two walked into the gate of the community, and Ning Bei soon heard a man shouting "Nan Xia" from a distance.
He locked onto the source of the voice faster than Nan Xia, and turned around to see a man in a white shirt walking towards them.
Ning Bei then heard Nan Xia whispering: "Oops, why is he here again?"
With a strong premonition, even if Nan Xia didn't say anything, Ning Bei probably knew it in his heart.
He directly took Nan Xia behind him.
The man approached and wanted to go around behind Ning Bei to talk to Nan Xia, but Ning Bei stopped him directly.
"Who are you looking for?"
Ning Bei's attitude was cold, even a bit like arguing.
The man seemed to be offended, and sneered, "I'm Nan Xia's friend, who are you?"
Nan Xia felt that the atmosphere was not good, and she didn't want to ask Ning Bei to fight for her. She was about to pull Ning Bei behind her when she suddenly heard Ning Bei say coldly, "I'm Nan Xia's boyfriend."
Nan Xia: "???"
The man obviously didn't believe it, and looked at Nan Xia: "I don't remember you saying you have a boyfriend?"
Ning Bei's eyes also fell sideways to Nan Xia's body.
Nan Xia suddenly felt evil from her guts. Because Chen Zhihe was a colleague who lived in the same community as her, he often came to talk to her in the community and company.
Although there is no specific "harassment" behavior, it has actually affected Nanxia's life to a large extent.
It happened that Ning Bei said that again today, so she might as well just go with the flow, maybe she could break Chen Zhihe's mind.
Nan Xia took Ning Bei's arm directly, and said to Chen Zhihe, "I don't need to report to you when I talk about a boyfriend."
Ning Bei's body stiffened slightly, and he opened his palm, holding Nan Xia's hand tightly.
"Can you go away?" he said.
Nan Xia was a little scared by the cruelty in Ning Bei's tone, but Chen Zhihe took two steps back as if he had hit a nail, then snorted coldly, turned and went in another direction.
"let's go."
Ning Bei then carried three bags in one hand, and led Nan Xia in the other to continue walking into the community.
In fact, he didn't know which building Nan Xia's family lived in, but at the moment, Ning Bei just wanted to take Nan Xia out of here.
After walking around the neighborhood twice, Ning Bei stopped.
Looking back at Nan Xia who was smiling all over her face, she asked in a muffled voice, "Where does your family live?"
Nan Xia's eyes signaled him to let go, and Ning Bei's ears burned red, and he gave away immediately.
"I'm still wondering how many laps you're going to ask me."
Ning Bei glanced at his face, "Forgot."
Nan Xia watched him suddenly change from the previous appearance to the current awkward appearance, it was really funny, and said softly: "Here we are, this is the building in front of you."
The two then went upstairs and entered the one-bedroom apartment Nan Xia rented here.
Ning Bei helped deliver all the things to the kitchen, and then sat in the living room feeling a little overwhelmed.
Nan Xia suddenly called his name in the kitchen.
"Xiaobei."
Ning Bei immediately got up and walked over.
In the bright kitchen, the morning light shrouded Nan Xia like a light veil. She leaned her back on the counter and stretched out her hand towards Ning Bei.
Ning Bei seemed to be bewitched again.
Why did Nan Xia reach out to him?
But he couldn't control it anymore, he couldn't forget the feeling when he held Nan Xia's hand just now.
A hand that is soft, warm, and will break if you squeeze it hard.
My back started to sweat slightly, but my body made a decision faster than my brain.
Ning Bei raised his hand to hold her.
In the next second, she also felt the foreign object in Nan Xia's palm.
His face turned pale, and Ning Bei realized that Nan Xia was just passing him something.
…
Unspeakably embarrassing, Ning Bei wanted to bump his head to death.
But Nanxia put the thing backhand into Ningbei's palm as if nothing had happened.
Then he stroked Ning Bei's hair.
"Thank you Xiaobei for protecting my sister today."
But Ning Bei is almost in a daze now.
Because he didn't know if Nan Xia had noticed his stupidity just now, and he didn't know if Nan Xia would alienate him because of his inexplicable action, and he didn't know if Nan Xia was already laughing at him in his heart.
It was almost unbearable to bear this kind of cranky moment, but Nan Xia touched his head so tenderly.
The tingling sensation immediately exploded from the scalp, and Ning Bei's whole body seemed to have been electrified.
It was so similar to the emoji she sent him that day.
The gentle hand stroked the puppy's head slowly.
It turned out to be this feeling, no wonder the puppy laughed so happily.
Ning Bei's thoughts drifted completely. He was almost ecstatically watching Nan Xia smiling at him. For a moment, he whispered like sleepwalking:
"Protecting sister is what a puppy should do."
Nan Xia: "???"
Ning Bei's brain exploded instantly and he woke up.
"No no no no!"
He was so anxious that he jumped up on the spot, and corrected, "Protecting puppies is what puppies should do!"
Nan Xia: "???"
"Protecting puppies is what my sister should do!"
Nan Xia: "???"
Ning Bei: "...protecting my sister is what a sister should do!"
Nan Xia: "???"
Ning Bei: "..."
In the quiet kitchen, Ning Bei completely shut up.
He closed his eyes in despair, powerless to face the scene of the car accident he caused.
But suddenly he noticed that Nan Xia took the things in his hand back again.
The heart fell to the bottom again.
However, there was a rustling sound.
A slightly cool finger rested lightly on Ning Bei's lips.
Ning Bei opened his eyes and saw Nan Xia unwrapping a candy.
"Reward candy for my sister's puppy."
Ning Bei's blood flowed backwards, and he lost all reason.
Obediently opened his mouth.
Sweetness instantly filled his mouth, and Ning Bei's virtual tail swayed into an invisible propeller.
In the light air, there seems to be a sweet breath floating everywhere.
Nan Xia raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and said softly:
"Open your mouth, puppy."
"Let go of my sister's fingers."
