“How can sweet milk tea be sour?” “I’m talking about the air.”
Jiang Shuyi: “…”
Jiang Shuyi just wants to dig a five-meter hole in the same place and bury himself.
He swore that he had never been so embarrassed in his life! !
Jiang Shuyi blushed and began to stammer: “No … Ge, I’m sorry! ! I … I don’t know that this is a sister-in-law … ”
[t/n:Ge means brother. The raws only use 哥 so its only ge instead of gege]
Of course, Huo Rulan knew that he didn’t know. If he knew and still acted like this, then Huo Rulan would not just talk but would have to call Jiang Shuyi’s brother to catch up on old times.
But he has watched this kid grow up, so he still knows what his character is.
Just listening to Jiang Shuyi calling him “Ge”, his heart is unbalanced.
Ye Xi drank milk tea behind Huo Rulan and pulled his skirt.
Huo Rulan held Ye Xi’s wrist behind his back and said to Jiang Shuyi, “It’s nothing. Did you also come out to watch the fireworks show?”
Huo Rulan offered the steps, and Jiang Shuyi hurried down: “Yes, yes, I just finished watching, and I’ll go first. My … classmate is waiting for me …”
He also dared not probe to say goodbye to Ye Xi, his eyes dared not glance at him.
Huo Rulan didn’t embarrass him, but also smiled and said to him, “We’ll talk later.”
Jiang Shuyi blushed and didn’t dare to answer. He just nodded hastily, turned around, and walked the other way, his steps looking a little panicked.
Ye Xi took a sip of milk tea and wrinkled his nose. He said, “It’s so sour.”
Huo Rulan turned around after hearing this, took the milk tea in his hand and looked at it for a moment, carefully read the label on the milk tea, frowned, and looked at Ye Xi doubtfully.
“How can sweet milk tea be sour?”
“I’m talking about air.”
Huo Rulan reacted, bent down pinched Ye Xi’s face with milk tea, and snorted a smile from his nose. “Well, you are still laughing at me Gege.”
Ye Xi laughed with a “poof” and bent his head and eyes.
He said Huo Rulan: “You are six years older than me, and you still call me Gege.”
Huo Rulan sat down next to him, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was sour: “Why can others call you gege and I can’t? ”
Ye Xi turned around and hugged his arm, resting his forehead on his shoulder and laughing, swaying around with laughter.
When he had laughed enough, he looked up at Huo Rulan.
Ye Xi put his arms around Huo Rulan’s neck and approached him. Huo Rulan bowed his head along the strength and felt a soft and dry touch on his face.
Huo Rulan’s eyes bent at once, and he turned his head to buckle Ye Xi’s neck and kissed him deeply.
After the kiss, he reached out and wiped the water stains on Ye Xi’s lips. He took out warm water from his schoolbag and poured it for him to drink.
“Your mouth is a little dry. It’s time to drink water.”
Ye Xi’s eyes were moist, and he took a few sips of warm water that Huo Rulan fed to his mouth.
Huo Rulan put the thermos cup into his schoolbag, took the milk tea next to him, and shook it. He asked Ye Xi, “Do you still want to drink?”
Ye Xi shook his head, and Huo Rulan drank the rest of the half cup of milk tea.
When they went to the food court, Huo Rulan knew why Ye Xi didn’t drink milk tea.
He looked at Ye Xi, who was clinging to his arm, and followed his line of sight to the long queue of squid grills.
Then he looked down at the half-eaten pumpkin cake in his other hand. Huo Rulan was indifferent: “That can’t be eaten.”
Ye Xi clung to Huo Rulan’s arm and refused to walk. His eyes kept staring at the grilled squid stall, and his saliva almost flowed out.
Passers-by glanced at Huo Rulan again and again, and their eyes all expressed a meaning: You scumbag, why don’t you buy it for him? He looks so stingy.
Huo Rulan helplessly close your eyes and take a deep breath.
He can’t blame others for misunderstanding. Ye Xi is wearing a loose sweater and they can’t see his bulging belly. He looks handsome and not girly. At first glance, he looked like a good-looking college student.
Huo Rulan and Ye Xi are wearing a couple’s clothes, black loose sweaters, a clear face, and a school bag. At one time, everyone thought they were a college couple.
Huo Rulan had to caress Ye Xi’s belly so that people around him could see the bulging radian of Ye Xi’s belly.
The silent explanation made the people who condemned Huo Rulan’s eyes look back awkwardly.
Huo Rulan bowed his head and wiped Ye Xi’s mouth. He was really angry and wanted to laugh. “Are you really so greedy?”
Ye Xi pursed her lips and said nothing, but held Huo Rulan motionless.
Huo Rulan took him to go forward, but Ye Xi refused. Huo Rulan said helplessly, “I’ll take you to the chair over there and I’ll buy it for you.”
Ye Xi followed Huo Rulan forward and sat down in the chair on one side, his eyes were clear and bright, and he looked at Huo Rulan with expectation.
Huo Rulan rubbed his nose and shook his head helplessly, letting the bodyguards protect Ye Xi and queuing with his schoolbag on his back.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Xi held up the squid in his hand and looked up at Huo Rulan.
He first gave Huo Rulan the first bite of the roasted squid, and when Huo Rulan ate it, he asked:
“What do you think is the difference between this skewed grilled squid and boiled squid?”
“Yes, it has been baked and put in oil.” Huo Rulan sat next to Ye Xi without changing his expression and took a bite of the pumpkin cake that Ye Xi had not finished before.
Ye Xi waved the squid in his hand and took a bite.
It’s really oiled and roasted, and it smells good, but it’s not seasoned.
Huo Rulan swallowed the cake in his mouth, turned to look at Ye Xi, stuffed the remaining pumpkin cake into his mouth, and ate it.
Ye Xi took two bites to satisfy his cravings, but didn’t dare to eat the rest.
He knows his own body best. He has just been discharged from the hospital. He doesn’t want to worry Huo Rulan about anything. Just taste the lightly roasted squid, and two bites is enough.
Ye Xi hesitated while holding the skewer of squid and glanced at Huo Rulan secretly.
Huo Rulan’s peripheral vision kept falling on him, how could he not know Ye Xi’s little moves?
He naturally took the squid in his hand and ate it himself, then took out a wet tissue from his bag and wiped Ye Xi’s hands carefully.
Huo Rulan held Ye Xi’s hand, which was a little cold. He held a thick coat and wanted to put it on Ye Xi, but Ye Xi firmly pushed his hand away: “No.”
Huo Rulan: “it’s cold, put it on.”
Ye Xi: “I’m not cold.”
Huo Rulan grabbed his hand and dressed him in thick clothes: “You are cold.”
Ye Xi: “…”
Huo Rulan handed the temperature display in his mobile phone to Ye Xi: “It’s cooled down, be good.”
Ye Xi grabbed his coat and didn’t talk. Huo Rulan helped him zip up his coat and bowed his head and kissed his forehead. “It’s still very handsome, not ugly.”
Ye Xi’s eyes are smiling, his lips are rising, and his face is ashamed of being praised.
He shyly plucked his hair, his eyes as dark as lacquer, and whispered: “Really?”
Huo Rulan answered very seriously: “yes.”
Ye Xi leaned into Huo Rulan’s arms with a smile. Huo Rulan encircled his waist and kissed Ye Xi’s hair.
They walked hand in hand along the street, scouting for favorite things in street stalls, visiting favorite handicraft shops and taking photos on the street like little lovers.
In the photo, Ye Xi is holding Huo Rulan’s arm and facing the camera, smiling lightly on his lips and his eyebrows are curved. Huo Rulan tilted his head halfway, his eyes fell on Ye Xi, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and everywhere he looked was filled with love.
**
They wandered around for a long time until Ye Xi began to feel sleepy and fell asleep leaning on Huo Rulan.
Huo Rulan bent down to hold him and walked steadily to the parking place.
When he got home, Huo Rulan gently put Ye Xi on the bed and tucked him in first.
It’s not good to wake people up when they are asleep. Huo Rulan turned around and wanted to get a basin of hot water to wipe his body.
As soon as he turned around, someone suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes. Ye Xi was so sleepy that he could hardly tell what he was going to do, but he still wanted to say to Huo Rulan: “…bath, prenatal care, pregnancy oil.”
Huo Rulan took his hand and gently coaxed: “Ok, I’ll get it for you, you go to sleep.”
Ye Xi was fooled by him and fell asleep again. Huo Rulan took him into the bathroom, gently took him out of the shower, and dried his hair.
Ye Xi slept deeply and never woke up after taking a shower and blowing his hair.
Huo Rulan also took a shower and lay beside him in his pajamas, holding a prenatal education book in his hand. He just wanted to read it, but he couldn’t help laughing first.
Huo Rulan leaned over and poked Ye Xi’s face and whispered, “Little fool, you are asleep, and the babies are asleep, so how can you listen to the story?”
Ye Xi moved his mouth unconsciously and leaned into Huo Rulan’s arms.
Huo Rulan caressed the broken hair on his forehead and read a book on prenatal education. His voice was low and gentle, and the warm light of the bedside lamp sprinkled on Huo Rulan’s clear and sparse side face.
After reading for half an hour, Huo Rulan gently put the book back on the bedside table.
Laying Ye Xi down flat, he took the pregnancy oil next to him, poured it into his hands, rubbed it to warm it, and gently applied it on Ye Xi’s pregnant belly. The technique was so skillful that it was obvious he had learned it many times.
Maybe it’s different constitutions. Ye Xi’s pregnant belly has no stretch marks, it’s white and clean, like a big white glutinous rice ball.
Huo Rulan carefully applied the pregnancy oil to Ye Xi, and when the pregnancy oil was almost absorbed, he went into the bathroom and took a hot towel to wipe the pregnancy oil clean.
He took out the ointment from the bedside table and applied it to the red marks on Ye Xi’s neck and the red and swollen areas on his chest.
After kissing Ye Xi’s pregnant belly for the last time, Huo Rulan hugged Ye Xi and twisted the quilt for him before falling asleep.
***
Early the next morning, Huo Rulan asked Assistant Xu to deliver the large bound photo frame to his home and let the hired workers hang it on the wall of the bedroom.
Ye Xi held a bowl of porridge and followed Huo Rulan to watch the excitement. Huo Rulan turned around and looked at Ye Xi, whose cheeks were bulging from the porridge but his eyes were staring at the photo frame. It was funny.
Huo Rulan hugged him out of the room and walked to a nearby bedroom.
“what do you think?”
The entrance is a big bedroom with warm green tones. The walls and curtains are mainly light green, and the soft furniture and decorations inside are also dotted with white in light green.
The green and white phase reflects the vitality of the recovery of everything in spring. It is an arrangement that will make people fall in love at first sight.
Fairy tale paintings and lovely decorations are hung on the wall.
Huo Rulan uses green materials for babies. The crib and furniture must also meet the baby’s growth and development requirements and safety, and use comfortable materials and shapes.
The room uses non-slip flooring, window guardrails, and power outlet protection to avoid edges and sharp objects.
The light adjustment is gentle and non-dazzling, and will not harm the baby’s eyes.
There is also a locker next to it, which contains a lot of diapers, milk powder, and bottles.
Huo Rulan hugged Ye Xi from behind, resting his chin on top of his head, and said, “After the baby is born, he will sleep with us. When he grows up, we will bring him to the nursery.
“If they cry at night, you don’t have to get up. I’ll make milk powder for the babies and change their diapers.”
“What do you think?”
Ye Xi didn’t nod or shake his head. He just smiled back at Huo Rulan.
No promises that I will return to regular updates, but just to let everyone know I’m alive because college and the summer heat be killing me. Honestly, can’t think with the 30 heat index and I don’t have AC so RIP.
