Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Give it to me?" After hearing what Lin Xi said, Li Xu's eyes widened instantly, his face full of disbelief, and his face turned red, as if he had been infected with stuttering by Lin Xi.

"Yeah." Lin Xi responded softly, keeping her head down so that people couldn't see her expression clearly. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito, but if you looked closely, you would find that her hands hanging on both sides of her body were clenched into fists nervously, and her body was shaking slightly.

Li Xu felt his throat tighten, as if something was blocking it. His fingertips trembled slightly, and he subconsciously stroked the Mickey and Minnie patterns on the two clothes. His voice was a little heavy, as if he was suppressing some strong emotions. "Do you know what you are saying?"

Lin Xi seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and raised her head. Her face flushed and she bit her lip as she spoke: "Of course I know, I..."

But halfway through her words, there was a knock on the door, interrupting her words, followed by a gentle female voice, "A Xu, Xi Xi, I'm coming in."

Hearing this, both people in the room shuddered. Li Xu looked at Lin Xi deeply, and then hurriedly stuffed the two clothes back into the drawer. After doing all this, he cleared his throat and said to the door: "Aunt, come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged woman with a face that was 70% similar to Lin Xi walked in.

"Is it too hot? Why do you look red in the face while doing the homework?" Lin Xi's mother held two cups of milk in her hands and said with a gentle smile, "It's so late and you have classes tomorrow. Drink the milk and go to sleep." Then she handed the milk in her hand to the two of them.

"Thank you, aunt. We had a disagreement on a question just now, so we had an argument." Li Xu glanced at Lin Xi, who remained silent, calmly, and took the milk with a smile.

"Why are you so polite, kid?" Mother Lin glanced at Li Xu in a reproachful manner and handed the milk to Lin Xi. "What's the question? Let me see."

"It's been solved." Seeing the look from her mother, Lin Xi spoke quickly.

"Then Ah Xu must be right in the end." Mother Lin smiled while covering her mouth when she saw Lin Xi drink up the milk.

“No way…” Lin Xi calmed down, forced a smile, leaned her head on Lin’s mother’s shoulder and said coquettishly, “Ms. Li, can you please stop looking down on your precious daughter like this?”

"You have no respect for your elders and don't even know how to call me mom." Mother Lin reached out and patted Lin Xi's head. She scolded her daughter but her eyes were full of doting smiles.

"Aunt, I've finished drinking and will go back first." Li Xu put the empty cup in his hand on the table, picked up his schoolbag and spoke to Mother Lin.

"Just sleep at my house. You can ask your uncle to send you and Xixi there tomorrow morning. I always clean your room, so the pillows, quilt covers and other things are all clean. Your parents are still in the hospital with Xiaowei." Seeing that Li Xu was about to leave, Mother Lin hurriedly tried to stop him.

"Thank you, auntie, but I'm on duty tomorrow, so I have to go early." Li Xu shook his head and politely declined Mother Lin's kindness.

"Is that so? Okay then. If there is anything at home, just call me and your uncle. It will only take us a few minutes to go upstairs. Don't be afraid to trouble us." Mother Lin reached out and touched Li Xu's head, patiently instructing him with a very loving smile.

"Okay." Li Xu took a last look at Lin Xi, who was still lowering her head, wondering what she was thinking about. He then glanced calmly at the closed drawer, then left the Lin family and went upstairs with his schoolbag on his back.

However, Li Xu never wore the T-shirt with Mickey Mouse pattern in the end. A month before GK, he rejected Lin Xi's confession at her coming-of-age ceremony. Their trip to Disneyland also came to nothing as the travel guide that Lin Xi had worked hard on for more than a week and had poured her countless dreams and expectations into was torn into pieces by her own hands and thrown into the trash can.

Therefore, when he saw Lin Xi in a trance because of Qin Xiayue's proposal, this long-lost memory suddenly flooded into Li Xu's mind like a tide.

"But now I think about it, you were so despicable back then. I worked hard on the strategy for a week, and it was all ruined by you, a hypocritical guy." Looking at Li Xu who was looking remorseful beside him, Lin Xi wanted to act as if nothing had happened, but after enduring for a long time, he couldn't help but spoke angrily.

"I'm sorry, I..." Li Xu opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, the past time will not come back, and they are no longer the eighteen-year-old Lin Xi and the nineteen-year-old Li Xu.

"I've already told you, if apologies are useful, why do we need the police? Since the knight has finally turned over a new leaf and realized that he has let down this queen's true love, then I will punish you by making you serve as this queen's bodyguard tomorrow and work hard without complaint." Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him, raised her head, and her tone was full of arrogance.

The night breeze was cool, gently lifting a strand of Lin Xi's hair and playfully brushing across her cheeks which were rosy from drinking. Her fox eyes curved into crescents, flashing with an intoxicating light, as if hiding thousands of stars.

Li Xu lowered his eyes and looked at the bright and confident smile on the face of the person in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, as if time had traveled back to the first time they met.

"Are you Xixi's brother?"

"You are so beautiful, play games with me."

"Xixi doesn't want to be a princess. Xixi wants to be a queen."

"Then you will be the knight who protects the queen."

……

Li Xu clearly heard his heartbeat suddenly speed up. The violent beating seemed to break free from its restraints and jump out of his chest. Each beat was like a heavy hammer hitting a drum, making his cochlea buzz.

"Why, my lord knight, you are unwilling?" Seeing that Li Xu did not move for a long time, the smile in Lin Xi's eyes gradually faded, and she lowered her brows and eyes, preparing to retract her outstretched hand.

"I do!" This time, Li Xu finally did not hesitate any longer. At the moment when Lin Xi was about to withdraw her hand, he held it without hesitation, with an almost paranoid persistence.

He exerted a little force with his hands, and gently but irresistibly inserted his five fingers deeply into Lin Xi's fingers, as if to freeze this moment forever.

Lin Xi suddenly raised her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, like a dying winter butterfly that came back to life in spring. She smiled brightly, and with her five fingers, she tightly grasped the hand of the person next to her, not allowing him to let her go again.
