Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"Cousin, tell me, why didn't you eat yesterday?" Lin Xi sat at one end of the sofa. The gentle smile on her face just now disappeared, replaced by a rare serious expression.

Ye Huai lowered his eyes, as if he was afraid to look at her. Lin Xi asked him why, but in fact even he himself didn't know why. They had only been together for a month, and it was natural for Lin Xi to go out to work. However, the moment she went out, the originally lively space suddenly fell into silence, which made him unbearable.

Looking at the breakfast she prepared for him, he didn't know what happened at that moment and threw it all into the trash can. Thinking about it now, he finds it funny. The last time he did such a childish thing was probably before he was five years old.

After the unexpected disaster that almost cost him his life when he was five years old, and after experiencing endless despair with no response from heaven or earth, after coming out of the hospital, Ye Huai, who was only five years old, seemed to have suddenly frozen himself. He no longer had any expectations of anyone, nor did he desire to establish any close relationships.

He began to become extremely quiet and seemed out of tune with the people around him. When other children were chasing and playing together, he always sat quietly in the corner, not talking to anyone, and was even more unwilling to participate in the games of other children of his age.

Fortunately, Mr. Ye was a careful person and soon noticed his grandson's condition. He took him to see a psychologist. It had been a long time and Ye Huai could no longer remember what the doctor said. He only vaguely remembered that after he filled out one densely packed form after another and went home, Uncle Ye brought him a golden-haired puppy the next day.

The puppy had soft fur and moist eyes. When it saw Ye Huai, it grinned and wagged its tail, wanting to jump into his arms. Ye Huai liked it very much at first. Every day, he not only fed it personally, took it for a walk, but also gave it a bath himself. Snacks and toys filled the whole room.

After about a month, his reluctance to communicate with others improved, and he became noticeably more cheerful. Everyone thought he would soon recover. But one day, when Ye Bo's youngest son followed his father to Ye's house, the puppy that had been crawling at Ye Huai's feet suddenly jumped up, whimpering and screaming, and excitedly wanted to pounce on him.

Ye Huai was afraid that it would hurt someone, so he quickly grabbed its rope. However, something unexpected happened in an instant. The usually docile puppy suddenly turned its head and bit Ye Huai. Ye Huai was so shocked that he immediately let go of the rope.

The puppy rushed into the arms of Ye Bo's youngest son without looking back, licked his hands and face frantically, rolled on the ground excitedly, revealing its soft belly. Ye Huai stood there blankly, looking at the warm and loving scene of man and dog not far away, then looked down at the wound on his hand that was bitten and slowly oozing blood, and the last ray of light in his eyes completely disappeared.

The puppy was not killed and the wound was not serious. But the next morning, Ye Huai called Uncle Ye and returned the dog to him. Uncle Ye looked guilty and kept apologizing to him, "The dog was born to our female dog. My youngest son has been taking care of him since he was born. That's why I was so excited when I saw him yesterday. I won't bring him here anymore..."

Old Master Ye also knew how much Ye Huai liked the puppy, and that Ye Huai's psychological problems had indeed improved a lot because of the puppy's company, so he also advised: "This dog is still young, and it doesn't care about the severity of playing with people. How about I send it to someone to be trained? When it is completely obedient, I will send it back to you?"

"No need." Ye Huai, who was only seven or eight years old, looked calm, with the same coldness on his face as Ye Huai in his twenties.

He touched his right hand which had been bandaged long ago, but after only one night, he no longer felt anything there. Looking at the puppy lying beside Ye Bo's legs, sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail at him, Ye Huai said coldly, "I don't like it anymore. Let it go back."

Just like he returned the puppy and threw away his breakfast, he originally thought that he could decisively sever the relationship with Lin Xi that had gradually become close and tacit over the days they had been together, and wait for the darkness to swallow him up again.

But Lin Xi did not give him such an opportunity. At the moment when he was about to sink, she stretched out her hand, which was so warm that it was almost burning, and rescued him from the endless darkness.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Lin Xi raised her voice and spoke again, with a strong tone that could not be refused, "Ye Huai, look at me, don't avoid my questions."

Ye Huai had no choice but to raise his head, his calm eyes showing a rare hint of confusion, "Hmm?"

"I say, why didn't you eat the whole day yesterday and even threw away the breakfast I worked so hard to make." Lin Xi repeated her question again patiently, then looked at Ye Huai, hoping that he could give her a reasonable explanation.

"I'm sorry." Ye Huai thought of Lin Xi's kindness that he had wasted, and apologized to her in a sincere tone.

"Well, I forgive you. Then go on and tell me why you didn't eat." Lin Xi waved her hand, indicating that she didn't care about it, and continued speaking.

"You should know your body better than I do. It's only been a short while since the surgery, and grandpa has repeatedly told you to take good care of yourself. Since I moved in, I've been cooking different kinds of food for you, just in case your stomach problem comes back. You're really good at this. I've only been away from home for one day, and you almost starved yourself to death!"

The more Lin Xi spoke, the more excited he became. His tone was like that of a heartbroken old farmer who had watered and fertilized his crops every day and finally managed to turn his dying crops into a prosperous one, but when the harvest was about to begin, a wild boar suddenly appeared out of nowhere and completely destroyed the crops.

During the past month, Lin Xi always presented the image of a sunny girl who was full of energy but gentle and kind, and rarely showed such a strong side. Ye Huai became more and more guilty as she spoke more and more, and in the end he wanted to curl himself up into a ball to avoid Lin Xi's verbal attacks.

But Lin Xi obviously didn't want to give him a chance to escape. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she thought for a moment and began to guess the reason. She frowned and said, "You weren't like this before, but you suddenly acted stupid yesterday. It must be because I went to work. Don't you want me to go out to work?"

Ye Huai still maintained his non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, and did not respond to Lin Xi's speculation. Seeing that he was indifferent, Lin Xi stared at him for a moment, and suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized something, his smile suddenly became meaningful. He slowly opened his mouth, but said something shocking: "Could it be? You have a sister fetish!"
