Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Before Lin Xi could grasp the thought that flashed through her mind, Ye Huai gently grasped her wrist and pulled Lin Xi's hand away from his mouth. Lin Xi was afraid that this man would say something shocking that would make her feel ashamed and angry to death.

But the man just took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped the sweat off her palms. Then he let go of her hands, smiled, and said in a gentle voice: "I knew you were not such an irresponsible person. We haven't eaten together for a long time. I bought some food today. Can I cook it for you when I get home?"

So, Lin Xi switched seats with this man in a daze, and was taken home by Ye Huai in a daze. It was not until she sat down at the table in a daze and Ye Huai stuffed a pair of chopsticks in her hand and asked her to taste the new dishes she had learned that she suddenly realized, no, when did she say she would be responsible!

She hadn't even confirmed whether anything really happened between them that night, so how did she suddenly become a scumbag who played with other people's feelings and didn't want to take responsibility? She even took responsibility for no reason.

When Lin Xi thought of this, she raised her head and wanted to argue with Ye Huai, but Ye Huai, who had been observing her, would never give her a chance. He quickly picked up a piece of food for her with chopsticks, and raised his chin slightly, intentionally or unintentionally, revealing the scar on his mouth. While chewing the food, he frowned from time to time, as if the scar on his mouth was involved and he looked very painful.

The courage that Lin Xi had just mustered up suddenly disappeared. She glanced away guiltily and buried her head in the rice in the bowl, not noticing the smile that flashed across Ye Huai's eyes.

After dinner, Ye Huai naturally took the bowl from Lin Xi's hand and went to clean the kitchen. Seeing his back as he walked into the kitchen, Lin Xi suddenly remembered the purple marks on his right hand when he picked up food for her just now. Naturally, she felt embarrassed to make him work so hard, so she hurriedly followed him into the kitchen.

The marks on Ye Huai's hands looked scary, but in fact it was because his skin had been like this since he was a child. The slightest touch would easily leave marks. In fact, it was no problem at all, but the two had finally reconciled, and he naturally didn't want to miss the opportunity to be with Lin Xi for a minute, so he went with the flow. While Lin Xi was washing the dishes, he did some easy work like passing towels and wiping dishes.

The kitchen was not big, just enough space for the two of them to stand. Both of them were silent. Under the warm yellow light, the atmosphere seemed particularly cozy and harmonious. Ye Huai's eyes fell on Lin Xi, who was busy at the sink with her back to him. His eyes were filled with affection that he himself did not even notice.

After finishing the work in the kitchen, the two returned to the living room. Lin Xi had worked a day and wanted to lie down on the sofa for a while, but she couldn't stand Ye Huai's sticky and affectionate gaze on her all the time, so she made up an excuse and hurried up the stairs.

Ye Huai looked at Lin Xi's back as she fled in a panic. He was stunned for a moment. After a few seconds, he finally couldn't help laughing out loud. His shoulders and chest trembled with his movements. The low laughter reached Lin Xi's ears on the stairs, making her feel embarrassed and annoyed. She kept moving her feet, taking three steps at a time, and quickly ran upstairs to open the door, then slammed it shut.

……

The next morning, Lin Xi wanted to repeat the same trick. She got up early, washed up and prepared to go downstairs. As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into Ye Huai, who was dressed and opened the door across from her. She shuddered and said to Ye Huai with a strange look, "Cousin, what a coincidence. How come you got up so early too?"

"Unfortunately, I was afraid that someone would use the same old tricks again and not see me day and night, so I was waiting for her." Ye Huai's eyebrows were curved, but the words he said were merciless.

Lin Xi: ...

No matter who you are, please get off my cold, self-restrained, indifferent and ruthless cousin! Lin Xi shouted silently in her heart.

"It's still early. Let's have breakfast together and then I'll take you to the studio." Ye Huai seemed to be completely unaware of Lin Xi's distorted expression, and still spoke with a gentle look.

Lin Xi knew that even if she escaped the first day, she couldn't escape the fifteenth day, so she could only nod resignedly. She and Ye Huai had breakfast in a relatively harmonious atmosphere with different thoughts, and then went out together.

Because it was still early, there were not many cars on the road. Although Ye Huai drove slowly on purpose and Lin Xi also delayed intentionally, the two of them still arrived at Lin Xi's workplace very quickly.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Ye Huai checked the hand on his watch which had just pointed to seven o'clock. He turned his head and glanced at Lin Xi with a half-smile, then said in a drawn-out tone, "I thought there really was such a black-hearted company that exploited its employees from six in the morning to twelve in the evening. It seems I was mistaken."

Although he didn't point it out explicitly in his words, Lin Xi could tell that he was being sarcastic towards her. But after all, it was indeed her who got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs every day just to avoid him. The words she wanted to refute were met with a cold look from him, and she swallowed them back in shame.

Fortunately, there was a coffee shop next to the studio. Seeing that it was still early, Ye Huai pulled Lin Xi into the shop, ordered two cups of coffee, and sat down, waiting for the security guard to open the door.

When the coffee was served, the sweet-looking waitress in uniform put down the coffee for the two of them and said to Lin Xi with a familiar smile, "Why are you here again? I see you work in the studio next door. You don't open until 10 a.m., so why do you come two or three hours early every day? Wouldn't it be better to take a rest during this time?"

Lin Xi glanced at Ye Huai, who was sitting opposite her with a playful look on his face. She wanted to bury her head in the cup, and said to the waiter with an embarrassed smile: "Haha, I'm a person who sleeps too much and I'm not in good spirits. It's just right for me to get up early and revise the manuscript in your store."

The waiter showed an expression of astonishment, and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, you guys who do design work too much. I have a friend who revises his designs every day, and his hair is about to fall out. He even swore that if he studies design again in his next life, he will be a dog."

Hearing this, Ye Huai's eyes fell on Lin Xi's thick black hair, and he realized that her hair had grown from ear-length to shoulder-length without him noticing. It was completely different from the dreadlocks she had when he first met her. Her hair now looked fluffy and soft, with a mischievous strand of hair sticking up on top of her head, which made Ye Huai rub his fingers secretly and resist the urge to reach out and rub his hair.

Lin Xi was almost driven to the point of wanting to find a hole to hide in the ground by this self-familiar waitress. In response to her attempts to talk, he just smiled awkwardly and stopped talking.

But who knows, maybe there are few people in the store, the waiter is very idle, and Lin Xi did not show a clear refusal, so when she glanced at Ye Huai opposite Lin Xi, her eyes brightened a little, blinked at Lin Xi, lowered her voice and teased: "Is the handsome guy opposite you your boyfriend?"

"Of course not!" Lin Xi retorted subconsciously.
