The Ten Years of Rebirth

Chapter 282
In the middle of the night, the sky was dark, and a crescent moon let out moonlight, soaking the kitchen window sill like water.

Xu Niannian didn't turn on the lights all the way, when Xu Xing's voice suddenly sounded from behind her, she was startled for an instant, her heart skipped a beat, she turned around and wanted to escape from the kitchen like a thief being caught on the spot.

I don't know if it was because he wasn't in a public place like the company, and Yan Chijiu had already fallen asleep, Xu Xing became more courageous, and directly reached out his hand to press the door frame, blocking Xu Niannian's way in the middle.

"Why are you going?"

"..." Facing Xu Xing's soft question, Xu Niannian choked for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "What's the matter with you? Can I go to the toilet?"

"Going to the toilet and running to the kitchen, right?" Xu Xing curled his lips, exposing her lie, "I said that I had dinner when I came back from get off work. Sister Yu is usually going to accompany Senior Zhou, so why would you eat out alone."

"Aren't you bothering you?" Xu Niannian glared at him, but his tone was not at all menacing, it sounded more like a complaint and a trace of coquettishness, "If you eat, you've eaten. Can't you buy something to eat on the side of the road?"

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

After speaking, the bathroom door was closed.

Xu Xing looked at the back of Xu Niannian walking into the bathroom, retracted the arm that was caught in the air, and did not leave the kitchen in a hurry, but opened the refrigerator and rummaged through it.

……

in the bathroom.

Xu Niannian took off his clothes, stood in front of the mirror at the sink, stroked his right arm silently with his left hand, and looked at himself in the mirror with his mouth pursed.

The shower in the shower was turned on by her, and a light mist gradually filled the bathroom.

Stepping on the non-slip mat in the shower with bare feet, feeling the warm hot water infiltrating his tired skin, Xu Niannian slowly closed his eyes, but the image of Xu Xing immediately appeared in his mind.

So the next moment, she opened her eyes, bit her lip, and slapped herself not too hard.

so annoying!
Obviously she should have come first...

It would be fine if Xu Xing himself was unwilling to accept her feelings, but obviously Xu Xing also had feelings for her...

Her failure was just a gap in time...

It is precisely because of this that Xu Niannian is so unwilling, hates his previous cautiousness, and is full of thoughts... If only 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, in a dilemma.

……

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

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

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 at a glance.

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

"No." Xu Niannian turned his head away, but his stomach was still rumbling, the voice was so loud that even Xu Xing could hear it.

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

"I can blow it myself."

Xu Niannian plucked his wet long hair, walked to Xu Xing's side, reached out to take the hair dryer, but was held down by him, pushed him to the sofa and sat down.

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

After all the blowing, Xu Niannian didn't resist any more, and sat on the sofa in a daze, feeling the touch of Xu Xing passing through his hair, pursed his mouth and closed his eyes.

"Do you think we need to have a good talk?"

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

Xu Niannian obviously didn't want to talk to him about this, so he shook his head and refused: "There's nothing to talk about."

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

Hearing the word "we", Xu Niannian was obviously agitated. If it wasn't for the fact that Xu Xing's hair was still wet waiting for him to dry it, she might have fled back to the bedroom right now.

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

Subconsciously, Xu Niannian's body trembled slightly.

Obviously it was just Xu Xing helping her to dry her hair, but at this moment she felt guilty for no reason.

Especially when Yan Chijiu 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 footsteps sounded like stepping on Xu Niannian's heart.

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

Then she shrugged her nose very cutely, she was no stranger to Xu Xing blowing Xu Niannian's hair, she just asked curiously: "What kind of fragrance? It smells so good."

"I cooked noodles and had supper." Xu Xing continued to blow Xu Niannian's hair as usual, and responded, "Do you want to eat?"

"I won't eat it anymore, it's easy to gain weight if you eat late at night." Yan Chi rubbed his stomach with vinegar, and he didn't feel very hungry, "I'll just come out and go to the toilet."

After finishing speaking, Yan Chijiu turned around and went into the bathroom.

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

Those who didn't know thought it was cheating.

It's obviously just blowing your hair... why are you so guilty...

Even Yan Chijiu himself didn't care.

However, after being disturbed by Yan Chijiu, the two people in the living room fell silent again, without saying a word.

After Yan Chijiu finished going to the bathroom, greeted them both, and returned to the bedroom, Xu Xing also blew similarly, and put away the hair dryer.

"Come and eat noodles." Xu Xing walked into the kitchen, opened the lid of the pot, and the rich aroma of the soup base was instantly released.

Xu Niannian sniffed the scent, and suddenly couldn't take the steps to escape back to the bedroom. He stopped by the dining table and told himself silently in his heart.

It's just eating a bowl of noodles. Although it's Xu Xingxia's noodles, it's normal for the younger brother to eat for the older sister, right?
I didn't say anything just now, and I was really hungry.

Just eat a little bit.

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

in the kitchen.

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

After feeling the same, he scooped the soup base that had been boiled for about ten minutes into a large bowl, gave both eggs to Xu Niannian, and then made a small bowl for himself.

The soup base is quite rich, and there are a lot of ingredients left over from the hot pot at night. Xu Xing just cooked a pot like this, and it seems that there are quite a lot of things, including the tripe that Xu Niannian likes to eat.

After filling the soup base, Xu Xing put the noodles that had been cooked and passed cold water into the hot soup, walked out with the bowl in hand, put the big bowl of noodles in front of Xu Niannian, handed over the chopsticks, and put his own A small bowl was brought out, and she sat across from Xu Niannian.

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

"Eat slowly." Xu Xing said, "There are still noodles, take your time, no one will grab 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, he just ate the bowl of small noodles in his hand slowly.

In the end, within a few minutes, Xu Niannian, who was opposite him, had finished eating, with a look of unsatisfied expression on his face.

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

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

"Let me do it." Xu Xing was faster than her, pushed Xu Niannian back after getting up, picked up Xu Niannian's empty bowl and glanced at it, even finished the soup.

Turning around and walking into the kitchen with a smile, Xu Xing put the remaining hot soup base in the pot, and added another bowl of noodles for Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian looked down, and immediately muttered, "It's such a big bowl, I can't finish it."

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

Xu Niannian looked a little unnatural to him, but he didn't resist the temptation of the noodles, and kept his head down and continued talking about the noodles.

It's like this when people are hungry, and they always feel that they can eat an elephant directly.

But after eating and eating, after slowly getting full, I found that I couldn't eat so much.

Xu Niannian thought he was done eating, after all, he stayed up until the early morning without dinner, and he was really hungry.

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

"full?"

"……full."

"Then give it to me."

Xu Xing stretched out his hand, took the remaining half of the noodles, bowed his head and continued to eat.

Xu Niannian on the opposite side watched Xu Xing eating the noodles he had eaten, two blushes appeared on his face, he stared blankly at him, and subconsciously licked the remaining soup on his lips.

After eating the noodles, he should get up and go back to the room immediately.

But watching Xu Xing eating the noodles, she couldn't stand up from the chair in a daze.

It wasn't until Xu Xing finished eating the noodles that Xu Niannian watched him raise his head before realizing that he got up from the chair immediately.

But at this time Xu Xing said: "I cook the noodles, you come to wash the dishes, is it reasonable?"

Xu Niannian: "..."

"...OK! I'll do the dishes."

Xu Niannian took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, put the bowls and chopsticks into the sink, and began to wash.

Xu Xing, who was outside, was naturally in no hurry to leave, followed into the kitchen, stood by and asked, "Do you want to help?"

"That's all, how can you help me?" Xu Niannian said so, but his body moved away half a body very honestly.

So Xu Xing stood next to her smoothly, took the bowl filled with dishwashing liquid, and started to clean it against 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 look at who I am." Xu Niannian curled his lips, "It's definitely okay to be serious."

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

"What's your plan?"

"For example, working at Tianshu Games."

"Why? You are such a big company now, it's nothing to be without me." Xu Niannian said sourly in his heart, "And your senior sister Yu is no worse than me, when the time comes, you will hand over the art to her That's fine, sure."

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

"if not?"

"Continue to take up a job." Xu Xing said, "Being an art consultant or something."

"I think you just want to squeeze my labor?" Xu Niannian couldn't help complaining.

Hearing what she said, Xu Xing laughed, and finally got a little bit of the taste of getting along with him before.

Xu Niannian, who is always gloomy in his eyes now, always makes him feel a little distressed.

It's just that I can't go back to the feeling I used to have now.

"Think of it as the extra money you earned while studying in graduate school. With your own income, you don't have to rely too much on your family."

"That sounds nice..." 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 initial salary was only 1500 a month as an intern, he was still fooled by Xu Xing.

But when she officially joins and becomes the art director of Tianshu Games, her salary will be much higher than that of Yan Chijiu.

After these days, although Xu Niannian is not as economical as Yan Chi vinegar, he likes to buy things for himself when he has money, and always buys clothes for Xu Xing, but he still has a little 10 yuan in his hand.

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

So even if there is no temporary job offered by Xu Xing, the money alone, without eating and drinking, is enough for Xu Niannian to finish his graduate studies.

In particular, Xu Niannian had to wait until the end of his senior year in the second half of this year to take the postgraduate entrance examination, and the real postgraduate study would have to be after next summer vacation.

If Xu Niannian really wanted to save money, by the time she resigned to go to graduate school, her savings would be worth 30 to [-] yuan.

and……

After graduating from graduate school, I still hold a job in Qunxing. It feels like a family business letting relatives take false jobs to suck blood.

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

"That's what I said." Xu Xing didn't force it, "But you've only been in graduate school for two or three years, and I've almost graduated at that time, so you just 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 insist, "My resume is not bad now, and I can get into any big factory at any time."

"The elbow is turned outward, right? Who else can you help if you don't help me?"

"Can you handle it?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Hmph, 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?"
