Chapter 27: Tentative

Xue Xi poured the juice in a few cups into the trash can and turned on the tap. The juice residue swirled around the bottom of the cup with the pure water. He overturned the cup with his slender fingers, and the cups were washed clean one by one.
Xue Xi kept moving in his hands, placing the washed cups next to each other. The mouth of the cup lightly touched the marble table, making a crisp sound.
Soon he heard Zhou Yizhi's footsteps walking to the kitchen door.
Xue Xi grabbed his attention, raised his head and glanced at her, and asked, "Is the person sent away?"
"Yes, his home is a bit far away, I asked Uncle He to help send him back."
Zhou Yizhi stood at the kitchen door with his arms in his arms and looked at him. The corners of his mouth were raised. He didn't know what he had just said to Lin Jiayu. He was so happy that his cheeks were even a little red, as if a little shy.
Xue Xi couldn't help clenching the cup tightly with his fingers, and running water on the back of his hand, but he didn't feel anything.
He felt unspeakably anxious, as if there was an ant in his heart gnawing wildly, but he could not find the source of the irritability.
It was the first time that he saw her with such a girlish look.
She hadn't reached this point when she was with Cong You before.
Is this Lin Jiayu so good now?
Xue Xi felt that the cup in his hand was rinsed for too long, and he was able to recover. He looked away from Zhou Yizhi's face, hurriedly wiped the water off the cup and set it aside.
He squeezed out a lump of foam hand sanitizer, washed his hands, and asked naturally, "Will he come to home for tuition next weekend?"
Zhou Yizhi wanted to laugh, and tried to hold it back, and said happily: "Of course, he has something to leave early today, but the tuition teacher has told us that we have not completed the group work we have completed. It is estimated that he will come in the next few weeks."
Brother's fingers paused, and then forced to continue to wash his hands indifferently, and asked, "Isn't that before the winter vacation, you have to see him often?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yizhi said happily, "Ah, I see, brother, do you think it is too noisy for me to watch a movie in the room with him?"
Xue Xi wiped his hands and said calmly: "No."
Zhou Yizhi said that the expression on your face is clearly not the case, and the expression on your face is as if you want to pull Lin Jiayu out of the room and throw it downstairs.
Xue Xi saw Zhou Yizhi's spirits flying, but he couldn't be happy at all. He tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about what Zhou Yizhi would do with that kid every weekend, but the more restrained he was, the more he was entangled by the indescribable bitter possessiveness.
At this moment, Xue Xi saw the smile on Zhou Yizhi’s face, and even thought desperately in his heart that most first loves can’t come to the end. Even though she likes that kid very much now, it may just be the girl’s whim, and the impulse may disappear after a while. .
After a long while, Xue Xi suppressed his dryness and said: "Okay, don't lean against the door, go to the sofa and sit on it."
He walked to the refrigerator and helped Aunt He clean up the useless expired items in the refrigerator, took out a few bottles of yogurt that was about to go bad, took out a garbage bag, and put all the yogurt in.
Zhou Yizhi didn't leave. Looking at him, his eyes were shining, and suddenly he said, "Speaking of brother, I haven't kissed for the first time. I don't know how it feels to kiss."
Xue Xi finally let out a suffocating breath. Hearing her words, he almost didn't get into a rush. He suddenly stopped in his hands and turned to look at her.
"What are you doing? Brother, why are you staring at me?!" Zhou Yizhi smiled and endured crazy.
It is Xue Xi who is going crazy.
Why did she suddenly mention kissing?
How long have you known Lin Jiayu, have you thought of this step?
Her cheeks are so red, what is she thinking in her head?
Xue Xi's tone was rare and harsh: "Don't have physical contact with boys casually before you become an adult. You like it, but more importantly, you must protect yourself."
Zhou Yizhi pulled the door frame and tried not to make herself smile. She was too happy, and retorted in a serious manner: "Why, just a kiss, and don't go any further. Why didn't you protect yourself? There will be less meat."
Does she want to go further?
Xue Xi's face turned dark, and he took a breath and calmed down before trying to calm down a bit.
He said in an admonishing tone that would not let her repel: "Not in high school. Let's wait until college."
"Oh, what should I do? Actually, I really want to fall in love early." Zhou Yizhi sighed quietly.
Xue Xi's blood was about to rush to the top of his head. Hearing these words, the string of reason was almost unable to stretch.
He couldn't imagine her going to kiss others at all.
I knew it at the beginning and persuaded her not to let her go to tuition.
Even if Xue Xi tried to relax and seduce her as an older brother, his mind was buzzing with images that made people jealous to madness, so he could only sullen his face without speaking.
He opened the fruit box in the refrigerator and continued to pack the broken fruit.
"Eh, why did you ignore my brother?" Zhou Yizhi walked over and poked him in the back, laughed quickly, and said in an aggrieved voice, "I just want to try the taste of kissing. You don't need to be so angry, I Dad probably won't care about my early love."
Xue Xi said bluntly: "I'm not angry, I just hope you protect yourself."
After a pause, he calmed down his tone and said, "Don't worry about some things. It's the same when you grow up and try again."
"You are obviously angry." Zhou Yizhi asked amusedly: "I was curious, brother, I just asked what it's like to kiss, why are you so angry?"
Xue Xi: "..."
The tall young man squatted there, packed the contents of the second-layer freezer of the refrigerator, without saying a word, his beautiful jaw line was tight, and he looked like he was very depressed.
He pressed his lips tightly and said nothing.
Zhou Yizhi squatted down beside him and looked at him with his head sideways. The chill in the refrigerator immediately hit his face.
"You only wear pajamas, don't be here, it's cold." Xue Xi blocked the chill for her, dragged her back a bit, and continued to clean the refrigerator.
Zhou Yizhi watched him clenching his fingers on the refrigerator door frame, and suddenly smiled.
Xue Xi raised his eyes to look at her, and asked in a dull voice, "What are you laughing at?"
Zhou Yizhi leaned forward, hugged his arm, put his chin against the bend of his raised elbow, blinked and looked at him, suddenly asked softly: "Brother, are you jealous?"
Xue Xi was stiff.
Zhou Yizhi could clearly feel that the teenager next to him was holding his breath. He had wide shoulders, and he was still dexterously packing out the expired frozen ice cream in the refrigerator. At this moment, his hand suddenly stopped for a moment. He moved and turned his head slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Zhou Yizhi could think of his answer with his toes.
There is nothing more than -
No.
how come.
It's not.
But Zhou Yizhi didn't believe it. I have guessed what he was thinking. Even after a new life, his boyhood brother fell in love with himself.
Zhou Yizhi was actually very happy. Even at the moment of confirmation, his eye sockets were still slightly hot, just like, I thought that because of my willfulness, I would lose something very precious to me, but in the end I found that I had never lost it. He is always behind her no matter what.
After she came back, she also thought about what to do if she loses the person who loves her most in this life. The answer is that she doesn't know what to do, and she can't bear that kind of loss just thinking about it.
But fortunately, her boy's eyes still only fell on her.
Zhou Yizhi's heart was pounding, and she suddenly leaned forward, not knowing where the courage came from, and held Xue Xi's face.
This movement was very abrupt, Xue Xi was taken aback, looked at her and asked: "Why--"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yizhi suddenly leaned in and kissed his lips like a dragonfly. Kissed again, and then gave a light bite.
Between the electric light and flint, the tactile sensation is obvious, like a soul touching, and it makes people numb for an instant.
Xue Xi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her incredulously.
His eyes were so shocked that even the dark eyelashes trembled slightly.
Xue Xi's lips were cold and dry, but Zhou Yizhi's lips were a little moist, with a slight glow.
Zhou Yizhi's heart beat faster, his cheeks getting hotter and hotter, and Xue Xi was also tight, his breathing gradually heavier.
"Then if it's with you, isn't it okay?" Zhou Yizhi tilted his head, blinked, and met Xue Xi's gaze non-stop.
She chuckled and asked, "Brother, you just said that I was not allowed to have physical contact in high school, but now..."
"Brother, why are you so double-labeled."
