Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

The silvery-white beach was bustling with people, and fireworks and cannons that occasionally lit up screamed into the sky, lighting up the dark sea.

The moist sea breeze wrapped in the smell of sulfur blew across her cheeks. Lin Xi held up a fairy wand and was about to press the lighter.

"Stand further away, my face looks big in this photo."

Looking at He Yanyang, who was standing one step away from her with a cell phone in his hand, looking nervous, as if he was carrying out some serious mission, she couldn't help but glance at him with disappointment and began to give orders.

"Ah good."

He Yanyang, who was concentrating on staring at the screen of his mobile phone, hurriedly took two steps back when he heard the words, but did not notice the sand pit behind his feet. His feet swayed, and the outline of Lin Xi in the camera became out of focus and was crushed into a hazy halo by the sea breeze.

"Is it ready?" Lin Xi, who had been envious of the colorful fireworks exploding around her, couldn't help but urge.

"Wait a minute..." He Yanyang opened his mouth and was about to adjust the focus, but Lin Xi couldn't wait to press the lighter in his hand and move closer to the fairy wand.

The faint blue flame impatiently licked the top of the fairy wand. With a "hiss", the golden red fireworks "crackled" and millions of sparks gushed out like fireflies in the summer night, burning a hole in the night.

"Ah!" Lin Xi exclaimed in surprise, and her eyes suddenly curved into crescents.

The dancing flames flowed in her pupils, like a crushed galaxy. "Snap! Snap!" She waved the fairy wand in her hand and looked up at He Yanyang who was not far away.

He Yanyang looked at Lin Xi, who was surrounded by fireworks in the viewfinder, with tiny golden rays dancing between her hair and even her eyelashes covered with star-like light, and he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

"We're filming again. Be careful not to get burned." He stretched out his trembling fingers, enlarged Lin Xi on the screen, raised his head and responded.

"Don't worry, coward!" Lin Xi smiled and stuck out her tongue. The fairy wand in her hand drew a brilliant arc of light in the air, accompanied by her laughter.

More fireworks were taken out, and Lin Xi enjoyed posing in various festive poses to welcome the New Year next to the fireworks, while He Yanyang's camera always followed her figure without any deviation.

After a while, Lin Xi rubbed her face which was a little stiff from smiling, and ran to He Yanyang breathlessly. She stuffed the lighter in her hand into He Yanyang's hand, took her mobile phone from him, squatted on the ground and looked through it.

"Oh, I'm so tired. I won't release it. Let me see how the filming went. Eh?"

He Yanyang was half-squatting to pick up the scattered fireworks packaging bags, the plastic paper making a tiny crunching sound at his fingertips. Hearing Lin Xi's words, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at her and spoke a little nervously.

"What's wrong? Is the photo not good?"

"No, no." Hearing this, Lin Xi moved closer to him, with a tone of surprise, "On the contrary, you took a really good-looking picture of me. Look at this one."

He Yanyang then breathed a sigh of relief without leaving a trace and looked down at the phone screen.

In the photo, Lin Xi is holding a "golden chrysanthemum". At the moment the fireworks bloom, thousands of golden threads cover her entire body. Every strand of her hair is glowing, and even the strand of hair that is always sticking up behind her ear has turned into a transparent golden thread.

The most amazing thing was that a spark happened to stop at the end of her eyelashes, and condensed into a tiny dot of light in the photo, making the moment she blinked look like a twinkling star.

Perhaps in order to let He Yanyang see the photo on the screen clearly, Lin Xi came very close, so close that He Yanyang could see a piece of light-colored gunpowder ash on the tip of her nose, and so close that the white breath she exhaled when she spoke would gently brush his cheek, making He Yanyang feel as if he was bewitched and unable to look away.

"And this one." Lin Xi seemed not to notice his gaze, still scrolling through the screen with great excitement. Her fingertips, which were a little chilled by the sea breeze, glowed a faint pink under the fluorescent light of the screen. "This angle is absolutely amazing."

Lin Xi tapped the screen with her fingertips. In the photo, she was looking up, and behind her, a cluster of brilliant fireworks exploded, with tiny sparks falling like rain. With her face upturned, she seemed to be taking on the entire galaxy.

It's so beautiful.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I didn't see this face in the mirror every day, I would have doubted whether the person in the photo was me."

Lin Xi flipped through the album for a long time and found that except for some photos where the face could not be seen clearly due to lighting or focus reasons, every photo He Yanyang took for her was almost perfect enough to be posted directly on WeChat Moments.

"I remember your photography skills were terrible before, how come you're so good all of a sudden?"

After admiring her own stunning beauty, Lin Xi closed her phone contentedly and turned to look at He Yanyang beside her with some confusion.

However, the next second, she felt a warm touch from her lips, her breath stopped, her eyes widened, and she froze in place.

He Yanyang, who was staring at Lin Xi's profile in a trance, obviously did not expect her to turn her head suddenly. It was not until he saw Lin Xi's eyes suddenly widened that he realized it belatedly and reached out to touch his own profile.

The small piece of skin from cheek to earlobe that was brushed by Lin Xi's lips felt like it had been burned by a branding iron. The burning sensation burned along the nerve endings all the way to the base of the ear. He subconsciously raised his hand to touch that skin, but his fingertips trembled so violently that he almost poked his eyes.

"You, you, you, why are you so close?!"

Lin Xi's voice seemed to come from far away, but He Yanyang only noticed that her lips were trembling slightly when she spoke. There was still a hint of peach scent from the lip balm, which was lingering at the tip of his nose.

Lin Xi's scarf had untied at some point, revealing her blood-red earlobes. He Yanyang's eyes unconsciously followed that blush and he discovered a small light brown mole behind her ear, hidden under her hair, like chocolate sauce that had been accidentally splashed on it.

This discovery made his Adam's apple roll unconsciously. The feeling of a dragonfly touching the water just now suddenly became clear in his memory, and it quickly climbed up He Yanyang's cheeks with a burning heat.

"Bang!" A cluster of brilliant fireworks exploded on the sea level in the distance, bringing He Yanyang back to consciousness.

"I, I didn't expect you..." He trembled and subconsciously opened his mouth to explain.

"Oh! Forget it, forget it, you didn't mean it..." Lin Xi blushed deeply, but looking at He Yanyang who was obviously more flustered than her, she pursed her lips, said indifferent words, and prepared to stand up to distance themselves from each other.

However, when she stood up, she accidentally kicked the plastic bag of fireworks at the feet of the two people, and various wrapping papers were scattered all over the floor. She screamed and hurriedly tried to pick them up.

However, the next moment, the world spun around her, and a warm touch crept up to her wrist. She shuddered and looked up at He Yanyang above her head in disbelief.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Fireworks in the distance suddenly exploded, lighting up half of the sky and forming a gorgeous picture on the sea level.

He Yanyang lowered his eyes to look at the girl in his arms who was looking at him with wide eyes and somewhat helpless, and slowly lowered his head towards her.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Lin Xi heard her own heartbeat so loud that it pounded on her eardrums, almost drowning out the noise of the waves in the distance.

She subconsciously clenched the phone in her hand, the metal frame hurting her palm. Looking at the face in front of her that was gradually getting bigger, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she opened her lips, and slowly closed her eyes.

But the expected kiss did not fall, and a gentle touch came from the tip of the nose, accompanied by He Yanyang's somewhat hoarse and low voice, "There is dust on your nose."

Lin Xi opened her eyes suddenly and just happened to look into He Yanyang's eyes which were so close to her.

His eyes, which were always rebellious and full of spirit, now drooped, and her reflection was clearly reflected in his red eyes, so deep that it seemed to suck people in.

Lin Xi suddenly felt a surge of relief or disappointment in her heart. She felt a surge of anger and put her hand on He Yanyang's chest, trying to push him away in a fit of anger.

"I can do it myself..." But she had just said halfway when her eyes widened again.

A scorching breath poured down, and in Lin Xi's astonished eyes, a somewhat dry, somewhat hot, and somewhat trembling kiss fell on her forehead.

"ten!"

They were born on the same month of the same year, one day apart. Although they are not related by blood, he has a younger sister named Xixi.

"Nine!"

Both he and Xixi can walk now, but Xixi is still not very stable and needs him to hold her hand, even though he can't walk very steadily either.

"Eight!"

Xixi fell down, and he squatted in the sandpit of the kindergarten to comfort her on her knees, and then she tricked him into giving him the strawberry candy in his pocket.

"seven!"

Xixi had cavities and was in so much pain that she couldn't eat. He didn't have cavities, but he couldn't eat because he saw Xixi crying.

"six!"

Lin Yuze is so annoying. Doesn't he have a sister? Why does he have to fight with him for her? Fortunately, Xixi can stay with him every day.

"five!"

The homework is really difficult. Fortunately, Xixi is here, otherwise he would definitely be punished by the teacher.

"Four!"

Xixi bled a lot, I was scared to death, luckily it was just her period, but it must be painful since it happens every month, right? It seems that I can’t let her eat popsicles anymore.

"three!"

竟然有不长眼的给惜惜送情书，那臭小子长得那么丑，竟然还敢觊觎惜惜，揍了他一顿，心里舒服多了，就是老爸下手有点狠啊，嘶，屁股疼。

"two!"

Xixi in the dream was a little strange. I think I was scared and went crazy...

"one!"

What aunt and uncle? Who wants to be your brother?

In the square in the distance, a crowd gathered in front of the big screen, shouting the countdown seconds in unison.

On the beach where fireworks were set off, He Yanyang held the face of his beloved girl whom he had protected for more than ten years and gave her a devout kiss on her forehead.

"Xixi, I like you."

……

The ginkgo leaves beside the wall turned green and then yellow, fell and grew again, the wisteria flowers bloomed for two seasons, and the dead vines on the pergola sprouted new buds.

The cicadas' chirping went from sparse to loud, and suddenly one day they all exploded collectively. In the blink of an eye, it was spring gone and summer solstice.

The numbers on the big screen in the administrative building were decreasing day by day. A slender girl in a light blue and white school uniform was walking through the wisteria pergola surrounded by green shades, holding a textbook. She glanced inadvertently and suddenly realized that there was only less than a month left before the college entrance examination.

"Lin Xi, what are you daydreaming about? Come in quickly."

The window of the office next to the wisteria pergola was suddenly opened. Yue Yuan, who was leaning against the window, looked at the girl who was staring into the distance in a daze, and waved at her with a smile on her face.

"Eh?! Teacher Yue, I'll be in right now." Lin Xi came back to her senses and nodded with a smile, then trotted into the teacher's office.

"So, this is an emphatic sentence, emphasizing the time adverbial 'not until the 39s', so we should use that."

Yue Yuan circled "not until the 39s" in the notebook with a red pen, wrote a time adverbial next to it, and finally circled the correct answer. Then she turned to look at Lin Xi beside her and frowned slightly.

"I've already told you about this. There were similar questions in the last monthly exam. And considering your level, this shouldn't be the case. How come you're making such a low-level mistake right before the college entrance exam?"

"I'm sorry, teacher. It's all my fault for being too careless." Faced with a look of disappointment from her head teacher, Lin Xi quickly admitted her mistake.

"You, it doesn't matter if you make a mistake now, but don't make a mistake in the college entrance examination. You should know that the saying 'one more point can beat a thousand people' is not a joke." Yue Yuan tapped Lin Xi's head lightly with her fingers and said seriously.

"Teacher, don't worry. I won't do it again next time. I will copy this question ten times when I go back." Lin Xi knew that she was doing this for her own good, so she stood at attention to show her determination.

"Okay, the schedule is so tight, there's no need to waste time copying questions. I called you here today for something important." Yue Yuan glanced at her with amusement, picked up her water cup and took a sip, then opened the folder on the table, took out a piece of A4 paper and handed it to Lin Xi.
