World Eight. Her deskmate (12)
Xue Yu and Su Xiangnan were both adults.
Xue Xue quickly weighed the pros and cons and made a decision.
Now that Xue Yu has already cooked the raw rice, it would be boring for her to do nothing.
Just as Xue Xue was thinking about how to make things happen next, Su Xiangnan opened the bedroom door and walked out.
He was holding a pair of loose cotton trousers and a plain lapel top.
âYouâŠâ Su Xiangnan looked at Xue Xue, who was trembling with her coat closed, paused for a second, then looked away. âWhy donât you go to the bathroom and take a shower first? Otherwise, if you catch a cold, it will be my fault.â
Xue Xue frowned, and just as she was about to speak, Su Xiangnan had already thrown the clothes and trousers he was holding to Xue Xue.
âHurry up and go home after washing. Your family doesnât care about you?â â
âWell⊠I usually live in the dormitory, and I have already handed in the application for living out.â
âWhat?â Su Xiangnan opened his eyes in disbelief. âCould it be that youâŠâ
âSo Iâll trouble you to take me in today. Itâs raining so hard outside that I wonât be able to catch the last bus home.â Before Su Xiangnan could say the rejection, Xue Xue took the lead and spoke quickly. âThank you, kind man.â
After saying that, the girl jumped up and ran towards the bathroom.
Like a nimble rabbit, Xue Yu didnât give Su Xiangnan a chance to catch her.
He just watched helplessly as the girlâs figure disappeared behind the curtain, and his hands and feet that had just moved slowly returned to their original positions after a moment of hesitation.
The speed of his heartbeat gradually returned to normal, but the strange feeling still lingered around him.
Su Xiangnan found that he seemed unable to refuse the other party.
Su Xiangnan sat on the sofa.
The sofa was worn out and had a stain near the right armrest.
Normally, he himself would pay attention not to sit there as much as possible, but today he didnât notice this little detail, and even if he did, Su Xiangnan had no intention of moving from where he sat.
In fact, he was now as motionless as a stone statue.
The sound of water flowing from the bathroom echoed in his ears, intermittent, like an incoherent but self-composed tune, which attracted Su Xiangnanâs full attention.
The movements he would have when he was nervous were all quietly displayed at this time.
His back was tense, and he was sitting extremely straight; his hands were clasped, and he was pinching extremely hard, and his blood seemed to be filled with hot gas, making him unable to think actively, but could only feel passively.
Just when Su Xiangnan was distracted, a voice suddenly came from the bathroom: âAh!â
Xue Xue looked at the clothes that fell on the floor and covered her face helplessly.
She had been thinking about how to have an âin-depth communicationâ with Su Xiangnan. Because of this careless hand slip, a bulb appeared in her mind, and she had the answer.
She quickly tidied up her mood and picked up her clothes. When Xue Xue was about to call Su Xiangnan to help, there was already a knock on the bathroom door.
âXueâŠXue Xue?â The young boyâs voice came through the not-so-thick door, with a little vagueness. âWhatâs wrong?â
Xue Xueâs brain was working at full speed. It took only a few tens of seconds to get rid of her clothes, and it took about the same time to walk from the living room to the bathroom. In other words, unless Su Xiangnan kept paying attention to her movements, there wonât be such a quick reaction from him.
âXue Xue?â Su Xiangnan, who didnât hear Xue Xueâs answer, knocked on the door again, with anxiety and tension in his voice that he didnât even notice. âAre you okay?â
Su Xiangnan didnât know what was wrong with him.
However, after the sound just now, there was no more movement in the bathroom.
Su Xiangnanâs mind was in a mess, and worry undoubtedly had the upper hand.
He was thinking about what to do if Xue Xue still didnât respond, when at this moment, the bathroom door opened a crack.
A white mist drifted out, carrying the scent of shower gel, and the girlâs almond eyes were exposed with a beautiful luster from the water vapor.
Su Xiangnan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
âAre you all right?â Before he could ask, Xue Xue had explained the cause and effect in embarrassment.
âJust now⊠maybe my hands were too wet and I didnât hold it properly, and the clothes fell on the floor.â Xue Xue said, pursing her lips. âExcuse me, can I trouble you to find another dress for me?â â
Su Xiangnanâs mother didnât have many clothes, and most of the clothes she could usually wear were taken to the hospital. The previous clothes that were given to Xue Xue were discovered after rummaging through boxes and cabinets with great difficulty.
Unexpectedly, Xue Xue dropped them.
He really didnât know what to say at the moment, thinking of his fear and anxiety just now, he thought it was funny.
âIâm sorry.â Xue Xueâs face poked out a little more, she stuck out her tongue, the blush from the steam was like two peach slices falling on her cheeks. âJust give me anything that could be wornâŠâ
After a pause, Xue Xue pointedly said.
âSchool shirt is fine too.â
