To Oak

Chapter 36

After being rejected categorically, Zhu Miao didn't feel sad. He continued to ask: "Will the travel fare be expensive? I need a visa, right? I haven't been abroad yet, so I really want to go..."

He blinked, unconsciously revealing another pitiful look.Xiang Shu just glanced at him, then turned his gaze back to his book, and said lightly, "No."

Zhu Miao pouted.

Xiang Shu only focused on reading his own book, earnestly, concentrated his attention, and didn't look away for a long time.Although Zhu Miao was ill, she still felt energetic, sitting beside her and staring at Xiang Shu's profile while reading a book.After staring at it for a while, he got bored and started to look around the house.

He stood up, opened the sliding door of the balcony, turned around and saw that Xiang Shu didn't respond, so he boldly looked around.

From the balcony, you can see the narrow and intricate alleys of the old city, and you can also see a corner of the cafe from here.Zhu Miao went back indoors and wandered around the whole house, looking here and there, but Xiang Shu's house was too simple, a bit lacklustre, and there was really nothing to see.

Zhu Miao started to get bored.

Xiang Shu glanced at him and said, "Go to bed if you're bored."

Zhu Miao sneaked into the bedroom like a stream, jumped into Xiang Shu's bed, wrapped herself in a long strip with the quilt, rolled from one end to the other on the bed, and then rolled from the other end to the end, not to mention how enjoyable it was up.He looked at the closed door vigilantly, blushed and buried his head in the pillow, taking a deep breath.

It's all Xiang Shu's taste.

It's not a perfume smell. Baristas usually don't wear perfume, because the taste will affect the flavor description of the coffee.The smell of Xiang Shu is mixed with the fresh scent of shower gel and laundry detergent, and also has a little burnt aroma of coffee beans.Not unique, but reassuring.Zhu Miao got sleepy after rolling for a while, and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

Zhu Miao woke up again because of the doorbell. He stretched himself under the covers, got out of bed and quietly opened the bedroom door, and saw Xiang Shu hurried to open the door barefoot.The voice of the person outside the door was somewhat familiar, Zhu Miao poked his head out again, and when he saw it, it was Yu Ning.

There was a sound when the bedroom door was opened, Yu Ning and Xiang Shu beside the door looked at him, the scene was awkward for a while, especially when Yu Ning's whole face was dark, Zhu Miao was at a loss for a while.Xiang Shu took Yu Ning outside, said "Let's talk outside" and closed the door behind his back.

Zhu Miao tiptoed to the door and looked out through the peephole furtively.

Xiang Shu and Yu Ning stood outside the door, they didn't know what to say, it was very brief, and they broke up in just a few words.Zhu Miao could see this "unhappy parting" from Yu Ning's face, but Xiang Shu's face could not see anything.Before Zhu Miao had time to hide, Xiang Shu pulled the door open.

Zhu Miao blinked, and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm coming out...uh...drinking water..."

Xiang Shu didn't expose him, but said, "I just ordered porridge for you."

It's porridge again.

Zhu Miao lowered her face, bit her spoon, and sat next to Xiang Shu with her meager porridge, took two bites, and suddenly asked, "Brother, is that your...boyfriend?"

"No."

Zhu Miao asked the question knowingly, but after hearing this answer, he still felt a lot more comfortable in his heart. He asked again: "Then why is he staring at me?"

Of course you have to stare, Xiang Shu and Yu Ning are regular friends with benefits, but they haven't slept together for a long time, the last time they slept together was before Xiang Shu went to Africa.Originally, Xiang Shu thought that the two of them would just separate in such a bland manner, and each would find a new home.But Yu Ning is proud and arrogant, she doesn't like others to run after him, Xiang Shu ignores him but he is anxious.

Xiang Shu didn't take it seriously, thinking he was just childish.

"I didn't stare at you," Xiang Shu saw that he still wanted to talk, so he quickly blocked his mouth with words, "Eat quickly, and sleep after eating."

Zhu Miao never expected that Xiang Shu would be so bored when he was at home. He had nothing to do except reading and drinking coffee. There was no TV at home, and he didn't play with his mobile phone very much.He just nestled in the corner of the sofa, holding a book, the curtains of the balcony's floor-to-ceiling glass doors were not closed, and it was getting dark, so Xiang Shu just reached for the desk lamp and turned it on.

So boring and so lonely.

There was a problem sleeping at night, and what Xiang Shu planned in his mind was to wish Miao to sleep in his own bed, and then to sleep on the sofa by himself.Unexpectedly, when he came out of the shower, Zhu Miao was already obediently lying on the sofa.The desk lamp next to the sofa was still on, and the yellow light cast on his face, even the fluff on his face could be seen clearly.

Xiang Shu stood in front of the sofa and patted his head: "Go to bed and sleep."

Zhu Miao opened her eyes and said, "I'll just sleep on the sofa, I'm used to it anyway."

Xiang Shu: "You are a patient, sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the sofa."

Zhu Miao shook her head violently: "No, this is your home, how can I let you sleep on the sofa?"

What kind of medicine is sold in Zhu Miao's gourd, Xiang Shu can think of it with his little toe.But Zhu Miao is really pitiful. Xiang Shu always thinks of the old sofa on the second floor of the store unconsciously.

Forget it, just these two days.

Zhu Miaoping lay on the sofa, looking nervously at Xiang Shu's expressionless face, for fear that Xiang Shu would blow him away.

"Let's go, sleep on the bed, we can sleep two people."

Zhu Miao sat up from the sofa, and pretended to be polite: "No, I don't sleep well, so I squeeze you back."

Xiang Shu stood in front of the bedroom, put his hand on the doorknob, and said, "If you don't come, you can sleep on the sofa."

It's a fool not to come.

Zhu Miao got up from the sofa like a carp, and walked over hugging the pillow.Xiang Shu stared at him with an indescribable expression on his face.Facing Zhu Miao now, he has a feeling of powerlessness. He wants to be ruthless but not firm enough. The soft-hearted excuses always appear one after another. The college entrance examination, illness, pity... It is really fatal, harder than any one in the past. A tangled bed partner is a tough one.

Zhu Miao hugged the pillow, and automatically and consciously rolled to the side of the bed against the wall, and pressed against the wall tightly, showing that she had no distracting thoughts in her heart.

One person, one quilt, well water does not violate river water.Xiang Shu's sleeping posture can be called standard, lying flat on the bed, with his hands pressed on the quilt, placed on his stomach, and his breath and breath rise and fall steadily.Zhu Miao lay on his side, looking at Xiang Shu in the faint moonlight.Xiang Shu wears a vest when he sleeps, and his tattooed right hand is on Zhu Miao's side, and Zhu Miao just looks at his tattoo.

Saw the mole he had hidden under the tattoo, on his arm.

Russily, Zhu Miao moved towards him, moved a lot closer, and leaned her face next to Xiang Shu's arm.Xiang Shu still had his eyes closed, but he was clearly still asleep, so he suddenly said, "Don't move, go to sleep."

Because of the medicine, Zhu Miao was actually too sleepy to open his eyes, but he still managed to open them, and whispered, "Brother, I miss you so much..."

As soon as Xiang Shu opened his eyes, he met Zhu Miao's bright eyes. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stretched out his hands to cover Zhu Miao's face, covering his eyes with his hands.He felt Zhu Miao's eyelashes brush against his palm, a little itchy.He cleared his hoarse throat and said, "Go to sleep."

Zhu Miao moved her head imperceptibly, and rubbed against Xiang Shu's palm, seeing a reassuring darkness in front of her eyes.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep, and fell into a deep sleep.
