Moonlight falls into my arms

Ruan Li led Jiang Yuci upstairs, thinking that the room had just been cleaned and should be fairly clean.

Jiang Yuci saw her open the door and asked, "Would you like to change your shoes?"

he asks.

Ruan Li didn't care about such things. "It's alright, come in."

Besides, there are no shoes available for him to change into.

Ruan Li recalled the first night she went to Jiang Yuci's house, there was a pair of women's slippers on his shoe cabinet, and he wouldn't let Ruan Li wear them.

Ruan Li didn't pay attention after that, and didn't know if he had taken it somewhere.

If he has truly let go, then the things he left behind should also be thrown away.

"Can I have some water?" Jiang Yu asked.

Ruan Li snapped out of her daze: "Of course you can."

"I'll get you a cup." Ruan Li squatted down in front of the cabinet, rummaged around for a while, and finally took out a cartoon Crayon Shin-chan cup. "You want this?"

She couldn't find a cup that matched Jiang Yuci's temperament, "This one is quite cute too."

Ruan Li looked at the cup in her hand, the bright red cartoon characters on it were very eye-catching.

Jiang Yuci didn't care about those things and took it, saying, "Anything is fine."

Staring at the cup in his hand, his eyes deepened. He had gotten used to Ruan Li's cups, and every time he returned home, he felt very uncomfortable seeing his only lonely cup. He would always be stunned for a long time.

"Aren't you going to boil water?" Jiang Yuci asked Ruan Li.

Ruan Li nodded: "I like to drink cold water."

Just like how she likes to eat ice cream in winter.

Jiang Yuci didn't say anything, but he turned on the water heater for Ruan Li, saying, "Warm water is better."

She has such a weak constitution, and drinking cold water often is bad for her stomach. It's okay when the weather is hot, but when the weather gets cold, she is prone to diarrhea.

Ruan Li sat on the sofa and saw Jiang Yuci press the button. She thought he wanted to get hot water, but he didn't expect that he would get cold water before the water boiled. He drank a few sips and came over, putting the cup on the coffee table.

Ruan Li bought this coffee table herself... She had just moved in and paid a few months' rent. Ruan Li didn't have much money, so she bought it cheaply online.

The four corners were uneven, and Jiang Yuci's cup wobbled when placed on the table.

Jiang Yuci clearly noticed it too, and silently raised her hand to take the cup into her palm.

Ruan Li explained, "It can be placed there. It might wobble a little, but it won't fall over. It's quite... sturdy..."

Ruan Li's voice grew softer and softer, as if any explanation would be futile.

"Mm." Jiang Yuci nodded.

Ruan Li was speechless. "I'll go get the fish bones."

Ruan Li went to her bedroom and forcibly took Yu Ci, who was sleeping in the cat's bed, out.

"Meow..." The cat in my arms wagged its tail, as if it was very dissatisfied.

Ruan Li leaned close to his ear and said, "Listen to me, you used to live in his house."

Jiang Yuci sat on the sofa, looking at the cup, her fingertips tracing the patterns on it, feeling its smooth texture.

After Ruan Li came out, she sat down next to him and lifted the cat up: "Look, I've fattened it up so much."

Jiang Yuci glanced at the cat briefly before turning her gaze back to Ruan Li. "You can fatten up your cat, but you've gotten yourself thinner."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Ruan Li stood there, frozen, clutching the fishbone. "I... have I lost weight?"

She held the fish bones in one hand and touched her face with the other: "I thought I'd gained weight, how did you know I'd lost weight?"

Fishbone was held in one hand, its tail swayed, and it raised its paw to go at Jiang Yuci.

Jiang Yuci took it with both hands and looked at Ruan Li's small face, "You've lost weight."

"Maybe I have a naturally thin physique. My mom used to cook me lots of delicious food every day, and I could eat all that nourishing food without gaining weight."

Thinking back on these days, Ruan Li was like a wild horse that had broken free of its reins, doing whatever she wanted and eating whatever she wanted every day, occasionally getting full just from snacks during her three meals.

Jiang Yuci noticed a four-tiered trolley filled with snacks next to the coffee table in her living room, and he knew how she usually took care of herself.

"Is this place nice?" he asked suddenly, looking up and surveying the scene.

Ruan Li shrugged and sat down next to him. "It's fine, it's just a bit noisy at night. This house isn't soundproof, but as you know, I usually go to bed quite late."

Ruan Li draws every day after waking up, and is usually exhausted before going to bed, falling asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.

Jiang Yuci was worried that she wasn't doing well, but Ruan Li felt a warmth in her heart.

The next second, he said, "Your door lock is not secure."

Jiang Yuci noticed this when Ruan Li opened the door. Ruan Li's rented house was old-fashioned, and the doorknob was a key. Nowadays, many people with ill intentions would use a wire to open the door.

Ruan Li was stunned when she heard his explanation. "You, you're scaring me! I'm too scared to sleep at night."

Ruan Li glanced at the doorway, feeling a chill run down her spine as she felt someone secretly opening it from the outside.

She's already this scared now that Jiang Yuci is here, let alone when he leaves.

"What are you doing now? You're going to scare me to death! I want to change the combination lock right now."

Ruan Li held her phone.

“I know someone, I’ll ask him to come and help you change it,” Jiang Yuci offered.

Ruan Li nodded. She didn't dare to refuse at this point, as the consequences would be severe if something really went wrong.

"And those things in your kitchen need to be replaced too."

Jiang Yuci glanced at Ruan Li and pointed to the kitchen exhaust fan that was sticking out of the kitchen: "Your one is very old and doesn't meet the standards. You should replace it."

As Jiang Yuci spoke, he stood up, stood to the side, and picked up the socket with the kettle stuck in it. "This doesn't meet the national standard either."

Ruan Li met his gaze, feeling somewhat guilty: "I bought it online."

At the time, Ruan Li was short of money, so he bought the cheapest items.

Replacing a door lock is fine, but Ruan Li is a little unwilling to replace all of these things.

"I've been using it for so long and it's fine, so it should be okay."

Jiang Yuci pointed to the power outlet next to Ruan Li's sofa: "Didn't you see the black spot next to the outlet? If you keep using it, you might get burned to death in your sleep."

Ruan Li suddenly realized: "Change, change, change."

I can save up for the drawing board later, but life is more important.

Ruan Li was about to take out her phone to find a reliable store when Jiang Yuci said, "I'll help you choose one, and once it's bought, I'll have someone deliver it to you and set it up. You wouldn't understand these things."

“Ah…” Ruan Li looked up at him, feeling that Jiang Yuci might have had this plan from the very beginning.

“Then, thank you for your trouble,” Ruan Li replied.

Jiang Yuci shook his head: "It's no trouble at all. If you find it troublesome, you can treat me to a meal."

"Of course I'll treat you!" When Ruan Li was at his house before, Jiang Yuci treated her to meals every single time.

Now that I can earn money myself, of course I want to repay the benefactors from back then.

However, Ruan Li was too embarrassed to speak up after being rejected by Jiang Yuci.

I always feel like I have ulterior motives if I speak up.

"Then how about tomorrow?" Jiang Yuci said smoothly.

Ruan Li nodded, "Okay, send me a message after you get off work tomorrow, I..."

She wanted to say she would pick him up herself, but then realized that her only means of transportation were a bicycle and the subway, so she changed the subject: "You come pick me up."

Jiang Yu resigned and agreed.

Ruan Li stood up. "Then I'll see you downstairs now."

Jiang Yuci's eyes flashed. "I'll have another glass of water."

Ruan Li thought to herself: When did Jiang Yuci become so fond of drinking water?

I remember he used to only drink water when he was extremely thirsty.

"Ruan Li." Jiang Yuci pursed her lips, which glistened with moisture, making her lips appear a bit darker.

"Ok?"

Do you still like me?
