Ten Years Against the Current of Rebirth

Chapter 282 The body is quite honest

Late at night, the sky was dark, and a crescent moon shed its light, soaking the kitchen window sill like water.

Xu Niannian walked without turning on the light when Xu Xing's voice suddenly sounded behind her. She was instantly startled and her heartbeat skipped a beat. She turned around and wanted to escape from the kitchen, as if she was caught red-handed as a thief.

I don't know if it was because he was not in a public place like the company and Yan Chijuan had already fallen asleep, but Xu Xing became more courageous. He directly stretched out his hand to press the door frame and blocked Xu Niannian's way.

"Why are you going?"

"..." Faced with Xu Xing's soft question, Xu Niannian choked for a moment, and then whispered, "What does it have to do with you? Can't I go to the toilet?"

"You came to the kitchen to go to the toilet, right?" Xu Xing curled his lips and exposed her lie, "When I came back from get off work, I said I had dinner. Senior Yu usually goes to accompany Senior Zhou. How can you eat out alone?"

"Aren't you bothered?" Xu Niannian glared at him, but his tone was not threatening at all. Instead, it sounded more like complaints and a hint of coquettishness, "I've eaten it, I've eaten it.

Can’t we buy some food on the roadside?”

After saying that, she pushed Xu Xing's arm in front of her and strode into the bathroom: "I'm taking a shower!"

After saying that, the bathroom door was closed.

Xu Xing looked at Xu Niannian's back as he walked into the bathroom, retracted his arm that was photographed in the air, and did not leave the kitchen in a hurry. Instead, he opened the refrigerator and rummaged through it.

…

In the bathroom.

Xu Niannian took off his clothes and stood in front of the mirror on the sink. He silently touched his right arm with his left hand and looked at himself in the mirror with his lips pursed.

She turned on the shower head in the shower room, and a light mist gradually filled the bathroom.

Stepping on the non-slip mat in the shower room with bare feet, feeling the warm hot water soaking into his tired skin, Xu Niannian slowly closed his eyes, but Xu Xing's appearance immediately appeared in his mind.

So the next moment, she opened her eyes, bit her lip, and gave herself a gentle slap.

How annoying!

Obviously she should have come first...

It would be fine if Xu Xing himself did not want to accept her feelings, but Xu Xing obviously also had feelings and feelings for her...

Her failure was just a gap in time...

It is precisely because of this that Xu Niannian is so unwilling. He hates himself for being cautious in the past, and his mind is filled with thoughts... It would be great if he could do it all over again.

But now that things have come to this, what else can she do?

Xu Niannian didn't know.

But she was reluctant to leave Xu Xing's side, so she could only torture herself every day and was in a dilemma.

…

After taking a bath, Xu Niannian changed into pajamas. When he walked out, he immediately smelled a scent wafting from the kitchen.

At this time, Xu Niannian's stomach immediately growled and protested violently, prompting her to reluctantly walk over there.

When she walked to the dining table, Xu Xing just put the lid on the pot, walked out of the kitchen, and saw Xu Niannian in front of him.

"I cooked noodles, do you want to eat them?" Xu Xing asked with a smile.

"No." Xu Niannian turned his head, but his stomach was still growling loudly enough that even Xu Xing could hear it.

"I said no, but my body is quite honest." Xu Xing walked out of the kitchen and walked all the way to the sofa in the living room. He took out the hair dryer from the drawer under the coffee table and waved to Xu Niannian, "Come here and blow your hair.

one time."

"I can blow it myself."

Xu Niannian combed her long, still damp hair, walked over to Xu Xing, and reached out to take the hair dryer, but he held her down and forced her to sit down on the sofa.

Then Xu Xing walked behind the sofa, plugged in the hair dryer, and blew it for Xu Niannian very skillfully.

After all the blowing, Xu Niannian didn't resist anything. He sat on the sofa in a daze, feeling Xu Xing's touch in his hair, pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

"Do you think it's necessary for us to have a serious talk?"

While blowing his hair, Xu Xing spoke slowly and softly.

Xu Niannian obviously didn't want to tell him this. He shook his head to express his refusal: "What's there to talk about?"

"I feel like you've been avoiding me." Xu Xing said while stroking her long hair, "Or should I say, avoiding us?"

Hearing the word "we", Xu Niannian was obviously stressed. If her hair wasn't still in Xu Xing's hand, wet and waiting for him to dry it, she might have fled back to the bedroom by now.

But just when Xu Niannian wanted to open his mouth to say something, the sound of the bedroom door opening suddenly came from the other end of the corridor.

Subconsciously, Xu Niannian's body trembled slightly.

It was clear that Xu Xing was just helping her blow dry her hair, but at this moment she felt guilty for no reason.

Especially when Yan Chijuan walked out of the bedroom, heard the sound of the hair dryer in the living room, and walked step by step from the corridor, the sound of footsteps was like stepping on Xu Niannian's heart.

Soon, Yan Chijuan walked to the edge of the living room, poked his head out from the corridor, and saw Xu Xing blow-drying Xu Niannian's hair at a glance.

Then she shrugged her nose cutely, and was not surprised that Xu Xing was blow-drying Xu Niannian's hair. She just asked out of curiosity: "What's the scent? It smells so good."

"I cooked some noodles and had a midnight snack." Xu Xing continued to blow dry Xu Niannian's hair with a normal expression, and responded, "Do you want to eat?"

"I won't eat anymore. Eating late-night snacks will make you gain weight easily." Yan Chijie touched his stomach and felt that he wasn't very hungry. "I'm just going to go to the toilet."

After saying that, Yan Chijuan turned around and entered the bathroom.

Xu Niannian, who was sitting on the sofa with a tense body, finally relaxed after Yan Chijuan left.

Those who didn’t know better thought it was an affair.

I'm obviously just drying my hair...what's there to feel guilty about...

Even Yan Chiju himself didn't care.

However, after being disturbed by Yan Chijue, the two people in the living room fell silent again and stopped uttering a word.

After Yan Chijuan went to the bathroom, said hello to them and returned to the bedroom, Xu Xing was almost done and put away the hair dryer.

"Let's eat noodles." Xu Xing walked into the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of the soup instantly spread out.

Xu Niannian smelled the fragrance, and immediately couldn't escape to the bedroom. He stopped beside the dining table and told himself silently in his heart.

It’s just a bowl of noodles. Even though it’s Xu Xingxia’s noodles, it’s normal for the younger brother to eat it for his older sister, right?

Just now I didn't say anything because I was really hungry.

Just eat a little bit.

Thinking like this, Xu Niannian found himself sitting down at the dining table at some point.

In the kitchen.

After Xu Xing opened the lid of the pot, he laid two eggs, sprinkled a little salt and chicken essence, and tasted the saltiness of the soup.

When it felt almost done, I poured the soup base that had been boiled for about ten minutes into a large bowl, gave Xu Niannian two eggs, and then filled a small bowl for myself.

The soup base was quite rich. There were a lot of ingredients left over from the hot pot dinner at night, so Xu Xing cooked a pot of it. It looked like there were quite a lot of things, including tripe and other things that Xu Niannian liked to eat.

After filling the soup base, Xu Xing put the cooked noodles on the side that had been cooled into the hot soup. He walked out with the bowl and placed the large bowl of noodles in front of Xu Niannian. After passing the chopsticks, he put his

A small bowl was brought out and he sat across from Xu Niannian.

At this time, Xu Niannian couldn't help but feel hungry, so he started eating with chopsticks, sucking the noodles in his mouth, and took a big bite of the egg, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Eat slowly," Xu Xing said, "There are still noodles, so take your time, no one will compete with you."

Xu Niannian ignored him and immersed himself in eating the noodles made by Xu Xing. The warm light above the dining table fell on the table, making the atmosphere much warmer.

Xu Xing didn't continue talking, but slowly ate the bowl of noodles in his hand.

As a result, within a few minutes, Xu Niannian across from me finished eating, with a look on his face that he was still unsatisfied.

"Do you want more?" Seeing her like this, Xu Xing suddenly laughed.

Xu Niannian nodded subconsciously, and then stood up: "I'll go by myself..."

"I'll do it." Xu Xing was faster than her. After getting up, he pushed Xu Niannian back down. He picked up Xu Niannian's empty bowl and took a look at it. He even finished the soup.

Smiling, he turned around and walked into the kitchen. Xu Xing poured out the remaining soup base that was still hot in the pot, and added a bowl of noodles to Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian looked down and muttered: "It's such a big bowl, how can I finish it?"

"Eat first, give it to me if you can't finish it." Xu Xing finished his bowl, and then watched Xu Niannian eat.

Xu Niannian felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him, but he didn't resist the temptation of the noodles and lowered his head and continued to slurp the noodles.

That's what happens when people are hungry, they always feel like they could eat an elephant directly.

But as I continued to eat, and gradually became full, I realized that I couldn't eat that much.

Xu Niannian originally thought he had finished eating, but after all, he stayed up until almost early in the morning without eating supper, so he was indeed very hungry.

As a result, she ate half of the second bowl and felt like she couldn't eat anymore.

"Are you full?"

"...I'm full."

"Then give it to me."

Xu Xing stretched out his hand, took the half-left noodles, lowered his head and continued eating.

Across from him, Xu Niannian watched Xu Xing eating the noodles he had eaten. Two blushes appeared on his face. He looked at him blankly and subconsciously sipped the remaining soup on his lips.

Originally, after eating the noodles, he should have gotten up and gone back to his room immediately.

But looking at Xu Xing eating noodles, she couldn't stand up from the chair.

It wasn't until Xu Xing finished eating the noodles and Xu Niannian looked at him and raised his head that he realized what he was doing and immediately got up from his chair.

But at this time Xu Xing said: "I cook the noodles, and you wash the dishes. Is it reasonable?"

Xu Niannian: "..."

"...Okay! I'll wash the dishes."

Xu Niannian picked up the bowls and chopsticks and walked into the kitchen, put the bowls and chopsticks into the sink and started washing them.

Naturally, Xu Xing who was outside was not in a hurry to leave. He followed him into the kitchen and stood beside him and asked, "Do you want to help?"

"That's it, how can I help you?" Xu Niannian said this, but he honestly gave up half of his body.

So Xu Xing smoothly stood next to her, took the dishwashing liquid bowl, and started cleaning it at the faucet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Xing continued to ask: "Are you sure about taking the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"You don't even know who I am." Xu Niannian curled his lips, "It's definitely okay if you take it seriously."

"Then what are your plans if you pass the exam?"

"What are your plans?"

"For example, working at Tianshu Games."

"What are you doing? You have such a big company now, so it doesn't matter if you don't have me." Xu Niannian said with a sour heart, "And your skills at Senior Sister Yu are no worse than mine. When the time comes, you can leave the art to her."

That’s it, it’s definitely no problem.”

"What about you? Just quit your job and go to graduate school?"

"What if?"

"Let's continue to find a job." Xu Xing said, "Be an art consultant or something."

"I think you just want to exploit my labor force, right?" Xu Niannian couldn't help but complain.

Hearing what she said, Xu Xing laughed, finally feeling a bit like the previous relationship.

Nowadays, Xu Niannian always has a gloomy look in his eyes, which always makes him feel a little distressed.

But now I can never go back to the feeling I had before.

"Just think of it as the extra money you earned while studying for graduate school. You have your own income, so you don't have to rely too much on your family."

"That's nice to say..." Xu Niannian muttered, "It's not like I don't have money now."

In fact, more than eight months have passed since Xu Niannian joined Qunxing. Although the internship salary was only 1,500 a month at first, Xu Xing still deceived him into joining.

But after she officially joined and became the art director of Tianshu Games, her salary was much higher than that of Yan Chiju.

After these days, although Xu Niannian is not as frugal as Yan Chiju, and likes to buy things for himself when he has money, and he always buys clothes for Xu Xing, he still has a small amount of 100,000 yuan saved in his hand.

This small amount of savings can be regarded as the level of a small rich woman among college students.

So even if there is no temporary job provided by Xu Xing, the money alone, without eating and drinking, is enough for Xu to complete his graduate studies every year.

In particular, Xu’s postgraduate entrance exams will have to wait until the end of his senior year in the second half of this year, and his actual postgraduate studies will not be until next year’s summer vacation.

If Xu Niannian really wanted to save money, by the time she quit her job and went to graduate school, her savings would probably be worth two or three hundred thousand.

and……

After going to graduate school, I still worked part-time at Qunxing. It felt like a family business letting relatives work part-time to suck blood.

This is Xu Xing's company again... People who don't know better think that Xu Niannian is being kept.

"That's what I said." Xu Xing did not force it, "But you will only be studying for graduate school for two or three years. I will have almost graduated by then, and you will continue to come to the company to help."

"I don't have to go to your company." Xu Niannian curled his lips and continued to say harshly, "My resume is not bad now. I can find a job in any big factory when the time comes."

"Turn your elbows out, right? Who else can you help if you don't help me?"

"Are you in charge?"

"I don't care."

"Humph, it's good to know." Xu Niannian handed the last pair of chopsticks to Xu Xing, clapped his hands and wiped them on the rag.

Then she heard Xu Xing say softly: "But what if I just want to take care of it? Will you consider it?"
