Chapter 32: Resolve

After returning in the evening, the two went back to their own rooms.
But Zhou Yizhi was tossing around on the bed wrapped in a quilt, but actually there was no way to fall asleep.
During the day, when I was shocked by my brother, I was reborn, and I was nervous about confessing things. I focused on the things my brother said "give her seven days to think", so that in the evening, when my head was empty, I started to think of the past. Some details, and felt extremely ashamed.
If the elder brother is also born again, then he should know that he is not drunk. Then he used the excuse of being drunk to pretend to be crazy and hug his waist, what would he think? !
Zhou Yizhi pulled the pillow out of his head and buried it on his face, so embarrassed and indignant that he wanted to smother himself to death.
These shameful rollovers are second.
At most embarrassment that I want to curl up my toes.
Zhou Yizhi understands that although she and Xue Xi have already talked about it, there is still an unresolved problem between them.
Unlike the lovers who are attracted to each other and have a happy ending, there is a not so beautiful previous life between them.
The memories of the previous life are all bad pictures.
So in this life, even if she says she likes him, the credibility of this like is still not high.
My brother thought she was out of guilt.
And she herself, in fact, did not fully understand what her feelings for him were.
But no matter what it was, Zhou Yizhi was the only one who could be sure that she could not lose him in this life.
Zhou Yizhi couldn't fall asleep, but Xue Xi never closed his eyes either.
With his head resting on his arms, he lay quietly, his eyes on the ceiling. A little moonlight shining through the curtains fell on his face, clearly defined.
There is a shard of light in his eyes, shining brightly.
The word "like" she said in the evening still lingers in his ears, making him feel untrue.
Now that the two of them can get to this point, it was something he had never imagined. What he had hoped for was actually coming towards him little by little. Therefore, let alone waiting seven days, another year or two, he can also wait.
He was willing to wait until she slowly discerned her true intentions.
That's how confession ended. He didn't fall asleep until four o'clock in the morning, and his heartbeat was still fast. In the middle of the night, it was easier to remember some details of the day and recall some of the expressions on Xue Xi's handsome face.
Zhou Yizhi experienced this feeling for the first time in two lifetimes.
Obviously he is the dominant party, why would he be so troubled to fall asleep?
What about the elder brother who is separated by the two walls, shouldn't he toss and turn by himself, and the deer bumps into each other, but he falls asleep? !
Zhou Yizhi thumped the pillow and smashed in.
Another half hour passed.
She was extremely exhausted, but she was still excited and couldn't sleep.
Looking at the aromatherapy lamp beside the bed, and then at the sky outside that looked like it was about to light up, Zhou Yizhi opened the quilt resentfully and went downstairs to pour water with a dry mouth.
...
As soon as he finished the stairs lightly, I saw a tall young man standing on the sink.
Xue Xi was leaning on the water table, unscrewing the mineral water bottle, and drinking water with his head up. Only the faint moonlight was cast from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The lines of his Adam's apple were very beautiful.
"Brother, what are you doing here." Zhou Yizhi walked over and reacted immediately--
He can't sleep either!
Zhou Yizhi was immediately refreshed. It seems that she is not alone who can't sleep late at night with dry mouth.
Xue Xi turned around, took a look at her, and immediately went to the hallway to pick up a pair of cotton mops, walked to her, and put them under her feet, "Why didn't you come down without wearing slippers?"
Zhou Yizhi only noticed that he had come down barefoot.
"Hot." She held Xue Xi's arm and stepped into the slippers.
Xue Xi lowered his voice and asked, "What's wrong, haven't you fallen asleep?"
Zhou Yizhi didn't want to admit that he didn't fall asleep because of his confession, so he rubbed his eyes and said with a smile: "I fell asleep, I was thirsty just now, so I woke up."
Xue Xi rubbed her head: "I will bring you a bottle of water."
He unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and handed it over. Zhou Yizhi had already walked to the water table dry mouth, took a bottle of water and took two sips.
She didn't seem to realize that Xue Xi had just drunk this bottle, and Xue Xi was taken aback.
After drinking the water, the two went upstairs together and stood at the door of Zhou Yizhi's room. Xue Xi said to her, "Good night."
Zhou Yizhi pulled the doorknob, but didn't want to go in that way. She raised her eyes and glanced at the wall clock in the hallway. The hour hand had already turned to five o'clock in the morning. Today, a winter outing was organized in the class. Now the snow has stopped. Yes, I have to get up at eight o'clock and pack my schoolbags for breakfast.
Only three hours can sleep.
But she couldn't sleep at all.
As a result, I don't have the energy to climb the mountain during the day, and I might fall asleep halfway through.
She stayed still at the door.
Xue Xi seemed to be aware of it and asked: "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yizhi's head dropped and honestly admitted: "Actually, I can't sleep."
Xue Xi said: "Ask for leave, don't go to school at all today, I will call your class teacher for you."
Zhou Yizhi looked at him, a little itchy, and whispered: "It's not a question of asking for leave. The key is that I can't sleep. Even if I take a day off during the day and lie in bed all day, I'm afraid I can't sleep."
Xue Xi leaned slightly, propped her knee with one hand, raised her other hand, covered her eyes with warm finger pads, rubbed her eye sockets gently, and asked softly: "Why can't you sleep? Have coffee before bed?"
Zhou Yizhi was blushing a bit by his gentle worried tone. She broke the jar and said, "Why can't I fall asleep? Do you really don't know or fake? I just confessed, how can I sleep? Brother, you are not. Can't sleep at all?"
Xue Xi was stunned. He did not expect Zhou Yizhi to fall asleep for this reason.
In other words, he always felt that Zhou Yizhi was quite relaxed, as if he was making fun of him, so cunning, but he was deeply trapped.
But she said she couldn't fall asleep, and she was completely disturbed.
Zhou Yizhi looked up when Xue Xi hadn't spoken for a long time, but he didn't know why, seeing Xue Xi's eyes smiling.
He lowered his eyes to look at him, his eyes were soft, and the corners of his eyes smiled because he had obtained something precious that he never thought he could have, and his heart was filled with joy and was about to overflow.
It is extremely rare for Zhou Yizhi to be a little uncomfortable by him.
It’s just that, is he happy just because he is upset?
Some words were originally to be said seven days later, because these seven days had to confirm what feelings he had for his brother, but Zhou Yizhi couldn't wait to say it earlier.
She suddenly flushed and said, "This is the first time I am in love."
Xue Xi said: "Me too."
Zhou Yizhi said: "Although I will give you an official reply after seven days, I have a request in these seven days."
Xue Xi said "um".
Zhou Yizhi said: "You promise me first, and unconditionally agree to my request, I will say it later."
Xue Xi smiled and said, "Okay, you say."
Zhou Yizhi looked up at him with his hands behind his back, and said: "You are not allowed to look at other girls, especially winter outing activities. It is estimated that in addition to the class, there will be girls from other classes around. You can just look at others. Poke yourself. Also, don’t like me, don’t think my last request was unreasonable."
"These seem to be three requirements." Xue Xi said, but with a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, he agreed: "Okay."
Zhou Yizhi was satisfied and excited. He couldn't sleep at first, but at this moment, it was probably because he let go of a worry, he felt a little sleepy.
She looked at the young man in pajamas in front of him, perhaps the reason for the weak moonlight in the corridor, his brows and eyes were gentle.
Zhou Yizhi said: "I still can't sleep, it's better..."
Xue Xi looked at her and motioned to her to continue.
Zhou Yizhi jumped on top of him, wrapped his arms around his neck, and twisted his legs. Xue Xi was caught off guard and subconsciously caught it.
Zhou Yizhi recklessly licked his lips and said, "It's better to sleep together, I should be able to sleep holding you to sleep."
Xue Xi:...
The last time she was drunk, she crawled onto his bed, as if unconsciously, his body was tight, and it was the whole night, but now both of them are awake, if they sleep together, no matter what-Xue Xi does not want to be with her Before she figured out what was in her mind, she took advantage of the danger.
He said: "So, you go back to the room."
Zhou Yizhi: "What about you?"
Xue Xi said: "I won't go, I'm sitting next to you, can't you?"
"No." Zhou Yizhi said: "The last time I hugged you to sleep, I slept very soundly." She raised her head and showed a pitiful expression: "Brother, do you bear the heart that I can't get up during the day and go for a winter tour, or go? Went for a winter tour, but slumped."
What else did Xue Xi want to say, Zhou Yizhi kissed the corner of his mouth and blocked his words.
Xue Xier's roots were red, and his arms supported her firmly.
Zhou Yizhi said: "Sleep together, this is the fourth requirement."
Xue Xi: "...Didn't you just say one request? How did one become four?"
Zhou Yizhi was eager to cry: "Didn't you say that you promised unconditionally? With only four, you can't do it?"
Before he finished speaking, Xue Xi held her, opened the door of his room, and gently put her on the bed. He put his hands on both sides of her ears, sighed, and said, "I just--"
"I know, you feel that I can't distinguish between guilt and liking, and worry that I am so close to you now, and I will regret it later." Zhou Yizhi's black hair spread, with water in his eyes, looking at him sternly: "But I I won't regret it."
"I can't distinguish between likes and guilt for the time being. I can't give you an answer right away, but I know one thing very well."
Xue Xi asked dumbly: "What?"
"I want to be with you forever." Zhou Yizhi raised his hands and hugged his waist: "I think I can't live without you."
Because there is no second person in the world who will unconditionally agree to her request.
"So, no matter what emotion I am out of, whether I feel guilty for you, or possessive to you, any emotions that evolve are good. Brother, don't let me go."
This request was actually very selfish, but Zhou Yizhi heard Xue Xi say to her: "Okay."
