Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

A sharp brake sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by the driver's angry shouting, "You cross the road without looking at the cars, are you going to die?!" Lin Xi, who was asleep and defenseless, suddenly rushed forward due to the huge inertia.

He Yanyang reacted very quickly. The moment the car braked suddenly, he instinctively stretched out his hand and blocked Lin Xi.

"Ouch!" Lin Xi's forehead hit something soft. Although it didn't hurt much, it was enough to scare her even though she was sleeping.

&34;Uh—&34;

The back of He Yanyang's hand was hit by the metal frame of the front seat due to the inertia of Lin Xi's pounce. He gasped in pain, but he ignored the pain. Instead, he supported Lin Xi's forehead with one hand and pressed her shoulder with the other, helping her sit steadily again.

"Are you okay?" After helping the person sit down, He Yanyang looked up and down at Lin Xi and asked.

Lin Xi shook her dizzy head, frowned and relaxed for a while, then said that it was okay, and then looked at He Yanyang with some confusion and asked: "What happened just now?"

"Hey, are you two okay? Did you hit your heads? Just now, an old man on a tricycle suddenly jumped out in front of me. Luckily, I braked quickly, otherwise I would have been hit."

Before He Yanyang could answer, the angry driver had already answered Lin Xi's question with a curse.

"I'm fine." Lin Xi touched her body and found that except for the hot forehead, she didn't feel any discomfort. She shook her head and turned to look at He Yanyang, "How about you? Are you okay?"

He Yanyang moved his aching wrist, hid the red back of his hand behind his back without making a sound, and shook his head, "It's okay."

Lin Xi, who was stunned by the collision, seemed not to notice his little action. Hearing this, she nodded and said to the driver in front: "Master, we are all fine, but you should try to drive slower. We are not in a hurry."

"I'm glad you're okay. I was driving very steadily. It was that old guy who suddenly jumped out..." The driver breathed a sigh of relief, then defended himself with some grievance.

Lin Xi didn't say anything else. After being frightened by this, she lost her sleepiness and simply turned around and started chatting with He Yanyang.

"We haven't visited Yangyang for a long time. How about buying a bag of cat food and visiting him tomorrow?"

Hearing the name, He Yanyang sighed helplessly. When the two of them gave the cat to the restaurant owner, the owner insisted that they give the cat a name.

Lin Xi casually mentioned the name she had chosen to tease He Yanyang, and the boss could not help but nod when he heard it, saying that the name sounded like a tough and easy-to-raise child. Then "Yangyang" officially became its name. In just over two months, it had already become the most lively and feared local tyrant on the street.

But perhaps because the two of them had rescued it, although it was naughty, every time it saw Lin Xi and him, it would take the initiative to come up to them and act cute, so Lin Xi and He Yanyang would take some freeze-dried cat food to see it from time to time.

"Okay." He Yanyang nodded without any objection.

"Oh, forget it. My hand will hurt like hell tomorrow. I'll go in two days."

He Yanyang nodded in agreement, but Lin Xi suddenly changed her mind, stretched out her two slender white hands in front of her eyes, and sighed in annoyance.

"Does it hurt a lot?" He Yanyang, who was originally preparing to close his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xi's hands.

"Yes, it's sore and painful. Look, is it swollen?" Seeing He Yanyang looking at her, Lin Xi hurriedly put her hand in front of him like a spoiled child.

The light in the car was not bright. He Yanyang squinted his eyes and observed for a while. Although he didn't see any difference from usual, he caught a glimpse of Lin Xi's aggrieved look in his peripheral vision and nodded hesitantly.

"It's a little swollen, can I rub it for you? Then you can go back and soak in hot water."

"Okay!" Upon hearing that, Lin Xi immediately revealed a smile of surprise on her face, and unceremoniously extended her hand towards He Yanyang again.

He Yanyang was about to grab her hand, but suddenly remembered that the back of his hand should still be red and swollen. After hesitating for a moment, he just stretched out one hand and pinched Lin Xi's wrist.

"What about this one?" Lin Xi glanced at the back of his hand, then pouted and raised her chin in dissatisfaction.

Looking at her arrogant expression, He Yanyang couldn't help but feel soft at heart. After hesitating for a moment, he secretly retracted the hand hidden behind his back into his sleeve, and then stretched it out, ready to hold Lin Xi's other hand.

But the next second, his hand, which had just been stretched out halfway, was grabbed by someone, and the sleeve that he had deliberately pulled down was carefully lifted up by someone, and the person's complaining and distressed voice rang out in the car.

"Idiot, if it hurts you should just say it, why are you pretending like nothing happened?"

----------------

The hand that was holding He Yanyang's wrist was not very strong, and could even be described as soft.

The slender knuckles only loosely circled his wrist bone, as if he could easily break free with a little effort.

But unfortunately, he couldn't break free.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, but her palms were slightly warm and damp, like vines covered with morning dew in a spring field, wrapping around me silently. I forgot to resist at first, and later I could never find a chance to break free.

He allowed the hand to carefully guide him, slowly landing on its owner's lap.

"Idiot." Lin Xi's voice was low, like a sigh, and also like helplessness. She lowered her eyelashes, her eyes fell on his red and swollen knuckles, and she frowned unconsciously.

The back of He Yanyang's hand was facing upwards, with several broken skin spots on the metacarpal joints, oozing with blood. Even under the dim light inside the car, one could see that there was a large swelling.

Lin Xi stretched out her fingertips and carefully touched the wound, her movements were so careful as if she was afraid of hurting He Yanyang.

"Do you think..." She paused, her voice filled with obvious annoyance and subtle heartache, "that you are so cool to 'finish your work and leave, hiding your achievements and fame'?"

Her fingertips gently stroked his red and swollen knuckles, apparently so light that it felt like a tickle, but this very touch, which was like a tickle through a shoe, was like a spark, melting into the blood along the skin on the back of her hand, burning straight to He Yanyang's heart and scalding his throat.

Lin Xi held his hand and checked it over and over for a long time, gently pressing the joints with her fingertips. After confirming that there were no broken bones, she lowered her head and blew gently on the back of his red hand.

The soft breath brushed across her skin, like a feather brushing against her skin, it was itchy, yet somehow soothing. She raised her head, staring at him without blinking, and said in a soft voice that sounded like she was coaxing him: "Does it hurt?"

"No..." He Yanyang subconsciously wanted to shake his head when he heard that.

This was not to show off his strength in order to comfort Lin Xi. After all, when he had fought with others in school, or when he had hung out with that group of people in the west of the city, he would have had some injuries on his body. Which of them were not much more serious than the wounds now that could not be seen without a close look?

But when he met Lin Xi's watery eyes, he swallowed all the words that were meant to follow his heart and stopped talking.

"A little bit." He Yanyang moved his lips, and the words that were about to come out of his mouth took a detour.

"I knew it." The mist in Lin Xi's eyes dissipated instantly. She rolled her eyes at He Yanyang angrily and tried to take his hand away from her leg.

But as soon as her fingertips touched He Yanyang's wrist, he grabbed it with his palm.

The broad palm with a slightly darker skin color completely covers the other palm.

He Yanyang's eyes deepened, and he gently but unyieldingly inserted his bony fingers into Lin Xi's fingers, interlocking theirs.

"What are you doing?!" Lin Xi was startled by his sudden action. She subconsciously curled her fingertips, but stopped suddenly when they touched his red and swollen joints. "Doesn't your hand hurt? Let go quickly..."

There was annoyance in her voice, but the strength of her struggle was very light, like a cat with its neck pinched, it was clearly baring its teeth and claws but didn't even dare to extend them.

He Yanyang didn't answer, but just tightened his fingers. The temperature of his palms was incredibly hot. His fingertips with thin calluses gently rubbed the back of her hand, arousing a slight itch.

"My hands are a little cold." He Yanyang lowered his head and looked at the two people's entangled hands, his voice a little hoarse. He stretched out his thumb and rubbed the back of Lin Xi's hand, as if trying to draw warmth from her hand.

He Yanyang lowered his head, and Lin Xi couldn't see his expression, but the palm of his hand wrapped around the back of her hand was warm, even burning, and even her fingertips were hot. How could she be cold?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown and looked at He Yanyang suspiciously.

After a moment of silence, He Yanyang slowly raised his head and met Lin Xi's gaze.

The moment their eyes met, Lin Xi saw the emotions in his eyes, like a traveler who had traveled thousands of miles to finally find an oasis, or like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time and finally caught his prey.

That gaze was incredibly hot, with a desire that almost burned her, yet deep down it contained a cautious cherishment, as if she were some fragile treasure.

The worst thing was that there was a thin layer of water in his eyes, which reflected tiny spots of light under the neon lights that quickly swept into the car and then quickly fled away, adding a bit of fragility to his eagerness that made people want to soften their hearts.

"Xixi, I..."

He Yanyang's voice was extremely hoarse, as if something was about to burst out of the ground, causing Lin Xi to lick her dry lips involuntarily and become nervous as well. But the next second, a funny ringtone suddenly rang in the overly quiet carriage.

“Coconut, coconut

Ah, ah, I'm a coconut

Co - co - co - co - co

I'm a coconut～～"

The sudden cheerful melody instantly broke the ambiguous and somewhat tense atmosphere. Lin Xi hurriedly pulled her hand out from He Yanyang's palm as if she was burned by sparks, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket in a hurry. She didn't even look at the caller ID before pressing the answer button.

"Hey."

"Hello, Xixi, are you guys back home?" Lin Yuze's distorted voice came from the other end of the phone, accompanied by the noisy sound of playing mahjong.

When it was almost dark, he was called away by Uncle Lin, who asked him to accompany Uncle Lin to meet some old friends. Listening to the occasional "Pang!" and "Chi!" coming from the other end, Lin Xi could tell that he was probably playing cards with the adults.

Hearing his voice, Lin Xi subconsciously glanced at He Yanyang beside her, and saw that he had his eyelids drooped and there was no expression on his face. Then she spoke to Lin Yuze on the other end.

"Brother Yuze, we are already in the car and will be home soon."

"Yuze, what are you dawdling for over there? Come and check the cards for your uncle."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Yuze turned his head and said "OK" to the card game behind him, then he said to Lin Xi: "That's good, I ran away today, I will come to take you out to play in two days."

"Brother Yuze, it's okay. You've worked hard today. Go to bed early. We'll see you another day."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xi turned around, smiled awkwardly, and said to He Yanyang: "It's Brother Yuze, asking if we have returned. By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

"It's okay." He Yanyang shook his head calmly, but Lin Xi inexplicably heard a hint of gnashing of teeth in his tone.

Before she could investigate further, she heard the smiling voice of the driver in the front seat.

"Little sister, your ringtone is a little funny."

"Ahem, yes, I changed it just because I thought it was funny." Lin Xi didn't expect him to talk to her suddenly, so she quickly turned her eyes away from He Yanyang's face and replied with a wry smile.

"No, I mean um, um, cute, not something bad." Realizing that his words had caused Lin Xi to misunderstand, the driver hurriedly explained, "Knock, knock, hahaha, a bit brainwashing."

"Haha, yeah." Lin Xi didn't know what to say, so she could only laugh awkwardly and agree.

Perhaps Lin Xi's ringtone awakened his musical soul. The driver, who had been silent just now, suddenly started humming, and finally, as if it was not enough, he turned on the car music.

"He doesn't understand your heart and pretends to be calm. He doesn't understand love and treats it as a game. He doesn't know how to express his love. All he can do is sigh and say sorry..."

Soothing and sad music slowly spread in the car. In a corner that Lin Xi couldn't notice, He Yanyang secretly gritted his teeth and silently used all kinds of torture on Lin Yuze in his mind.

Thank you for the gifts, babies. Here is today’s update. There will be another chapter later, which will be added after this chapter (two chapters in one). Babies, remember to refresh the page.

This world should be coming to an end in the next few days. After the extra chapter, the next world will most likely be a period story (maybe?)
