Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

At the H City Airport, people were rushing to and fro, but when they passed by the calm-looking man standing at the pick-up area, they couldn't help but slow down and take a closer look.

The man was estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall, with a slender and upright figure. He wore a simple white shirt and black casual trousers. It was a very ordinary outfit, but he stood out because of his exceptionally outstanding face.

His skin was extremely pale, with a sickly look, his eyebrows were light, but his pupils were extremely dark, his eyelashes were long and narrow, casting a shadow on the corners of his eyes, his thin lips were lightly pursed, and his whole face had no expression. His calm temperament separated him from the noisy crowd, as if he was from two different worlds.

Ye Huai seemed unaware of the vague glances from the people around him. He kept his eyes on the exit, but until all the people on this flight had left, he still didn't see the person he was waiting for inside.

He frowned slightly, took out his cell phone and clicked on a picture. The picture looked a little blurry. It should be an old photo taken with the cell phone. There were two children, one big and one small in the picture. The older boy looked about twelve or thirteen years old, and the younger girl was about seven or eight years old.

The boy had a cold expression, without any of the vigor that a twelve or thirteen year old boy should have. His features and eyebrows looked exactly like Ye Huai, and it was obviously Ye Huai when he was a child. The girl next to him looked very well-behaved, with a small face and big eyes, like a doll, but her posture was timid, and she was holding a somewhat shabby-looking doll in her arms, with no expression on her face.

This little girl is the person Ye Huai is going to pick up at the airport today, his nominal cousin Lin Xi, who he has only met once or twice and has been studying abroad since she was a teenager.

But as everyone left, he still didn't see the familiar figure. Although more than ten years had passed since they last met, Lin Xi was very beautiful and there were photos of her when she was a child, so Ye Huai was sure that he would not make a mistake.

So he waited patiently for another ten minutes, until the staff came forward to close the exit, but still did not see Lin Xi. He took out his mobile phone again and confirmed the flight information sent by his uncle. After confirming that the information was correct, he was about to raise his head to ask the staff whether everyone had come out.

But just as he was about to turn around, someone suddenly patted his shoulder. He turned around subconsciously, but when he saw the person behind him, he was so shocked that he took several steps back.

The person in front of him had a messy head of dreadlocks with colorful strings tightly wrapped around her hair, revealing her snow-white scalp. Seeing this, Ye Huai's scalp tightened and he pursed his lips tightly.

The next thing that came into view was that "miraculous" face, a palm-sized face covered with thick ink and exaggerated smoky makeup. Perhaps it was because the makeup was of poor quality, the black eye shadow and eyeliner had melted a little, and were smudged around the eyes, making him look like a vampire who had not drunk blood for hundreds of years.

She wore a pink belly-baring top and ripped jeans, and carried a large canvas bag that was half a person's height on her back. She looked like a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures and taking the dross and retaining the essence.

Ye Huai has always been indifferent and rarely shows his emotions, but at this moment, looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, he not only took several steps back in panic, but also blinked hard, feeling a little sore in his eyes.

"Cousin Ye Huai?" The girl's voice sounded uncertain but with a hint of surprise, completely shattering his last bit of fantasy.

Ye Huai took two steps back and took out his phone. He looked at the cute little girl in the photo, and then at Lin Xi, who was almost branded with the image of "problem girl". Although he had thousands of thoughts of not wanting to believe it, he finally gave in and nodded indifferently, "Yeah."

The girl in front of him got his affirmative answer, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised a bright smile. She wanted to move closer to talk to Ye Huai with her big bag on her back, but as soon as she took a step, Ye Huai subconsciously took half a step back. Lin Xi paused and stopped suddenly, and the atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Even through the heavy smoky makeup, Ye Huai could clearly see the light in her eyes dim in an instant. He immediately realized that his behavior seemed a bit excessive. He was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but the person in front of him had already smiled again.

"I must look terrible after sitting on a plane for more than ten hours. Cousin, can you help me look after something? I'm going to the bathroom to remove my makeup."

Ye Huai coughed, trying his best not to look at her miserable face, shook his head gently and said, "It's okay, no need to trouble you, you must be very tired after getting off the plane, go back first." After that, he prepared to help her take the big bag on her back.

Lin Xi quickly waved her hands, tugged at the shoulder strap of her backpack and said, "Don't bother my cousin. This bag is very heavy. I can do it myself."

Ye Huai didn't say anything, but just stretched out his hand with a gesture that did not allow refusal. Lin Xi pursed her lips, took out the canvas bag that was half a person's height and handed it to Ye Huai. Ye Huai naturally stretched out a hand to take it, but who knew what happened the next second.

"Uh--"

The two looked at the bag that fell to the ground and fell silent again.

Ye Huai felt that the skill of not showing his emotions in the past 26 years was completely broken today. Who could tell him why a canvas bag that was not even as high as his thigh could be so heavy? Although he was not a strong and sturdy man, he was at least an adult man of normal size. But the moment Lin Xi let go of his hand, he felt as if the bag was filled with hundreds of kilograms of bricks. Without any preparation, the canvas bag fell to the ground with a "bang", smashing his cold mask to pieces.

Lin Xi felt that her high emotional intelligence had reached its peak at this moment, and she quickly said, "It's okay, it's okay. My cousin just had surgery, and it's normal for him to have no strength in his hands. I'll do it myself."

Ye Huai, who had undergone minimally invasive gastric surgery a month ago: …

Lin Xi quickly picked up the big bag and threw it on her back, then said, "Brother, let's go. I haven't been back for more than ten years. This place has changed a lot. I just went around for a long time to get my bag."

Ye Huai watched her easily put the bag back on her back, silently rubbed his still burning fingertips, unable to utter a word, and could only lead the way silently. This strange pair of people on the road naturally attracted a lot of attention. Among them, there was a naughty child who ran up to Lin Xi and was about to make a face, but when he looked up, he was so scared that he screamed and shouted "Ghost!", then went to find his parents crying and making a fuss.

Lin Xi: …

The two walked out of the airport in silence, one in front of the other, and got into the car at the parking lot. Lin Xi thought they would go home directly, but Ye Huai looked at his phone and saw that it was almost noon, so he asked Lin Xi what she wanted to eat. Lin Xi had been a foreigner for more than ten years, so naturally she didn't know what delicious food there was in H City now, so she just said anything was fine. Ye Huai thought for a moment, came up with an idea, and started the car.

The car drove into a private restaurant. It was lunch time and the seats had been fully booked. However, Ye Huai and their boss Zhu Tianling had been good friends for many years, and the reception waiters also knew him. Therefore, although the two did not make a reservation in advance, they were still invited to the private room that the boss usually used to entertain friends.
