After leaving home, they regretted it.

The old man was very angry.

Is it nervous?

Maybe.

But Gu Rumeng felt that it was not just nervousness.

More like...

Shy?

Oh my God! Am I shy with Xiaoyi? !

Gu Rumeng felt that she must be crazy.

No, no, no...

It should be all Xinrui's fault for talking about sister-brother love all day long!

It's so annoying!

I must take good care of her when I go back to the room to sleep!

"Sister Rumeng, I'm going to apply it. It may be a little cold. Don't move."

Qin Yi took the towel and carefully covered Gu Rumeng's red and swollen ankle.

Perhaps stimulated by the cold feeling, Gu Rumeng instinctively retracted her legs.

Seeing that the towel just applied to the ankle was about to fall down due to this, Qin Yi subconsciously reached forward, caught the towel with his right hand, and held Gu Rumeng's arch with his left hand.

At this moment, Gu Rumeng's beautiful eyes widened, her whole body trembled as if she was electrocuted, and then her mind went blank.

"Sister Rumeng, I've applied it for you. Just wait for ten minutes. Don't move around, otherwise the towel will fall off again."

Qin Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a serious reminder, but he didn't get a response from Gu Rumeng.

He felt a little strange, so he looked up.

He saw that Gu Rumeng was staring at him with lifeless eyes as if her soul had been taken away.

"Sister Rumeng? Sister Rumeng! What's wrong with you?!"

Qin Yi was frightened, and he hurriedly got up and got closer to check on Gu Rumeng's situation.

At this time, Gu Rumeng finally spoke, her voice trembling:

"Xiao... Xiaoyi... don't... don't hold my sister's feet..."

Hearing this tone that sounded like she was about to cry, Qin Yi didn't react for a while.

After several seconds, he realized that his left hand was still holding Gu Rumeng's arch of the foot.

"I'm sorry! I was just too anxious just now, Sister Rumeng, I didn't mean it!" Qin Yi quickly let go of his hand, his face extremely flustered.

"Well... Sister knows..."

Gu Rumeng's voice was very light, but the trembling was not as obvious as before. She lowered her head gently, and her hair covered her cheeks.

Qin Yi couldn't see her expression at the moment, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

After waiting for a while, he couldn't help asking: "Sister Rumeng? Are you angry?"

"No, how could my sister be angry because of such a small thing?" Gu Rumeng shook her head gently, "Sister just... suddenly felt a little uncomfortable."

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Qin Yi asked hurriedly.

"It's just... I'm just not feeling well for the time being." Gu Rumeng seemed to be worried about something, "Okay, sister is fine, you don't have to worry, go back to your room and go to sleep."

"Can't I stay to take care of sister Rumeng?" Qin Yi asked again.

"Sister is really fine, be good, be obedient, go to rest, you still have to go to school tomorrow." Gu Rumeng urged.

"...Okay."

Qin Yi's eyelids drooped, and as he stood up and went back to the room, his eyes were full of self-blame:

"Sorry, sister Rumeng, I'm going to sleep first."

Leaving this sentence, Qin Yi was about to step into the room when Gu Rumeng's voice sounded and stopped him.

"Wait! Xiaoyi!"

Gu Rumeng covered her face with her hands, and her voice was nervous: "Sister is really not angry, it's really a little uncomfortable, you have to believe sister! So don't say sorry to sister!"

"Really?" Qin Yi paused, his eyes flickering.

"Of course it's true! When has sister lied to you?" Gu Rumeng said anxiously.

"Well... does it count as tonight's birthday?"

"That doesn't count! That's called a little surprise!"

"Okay, then... Sister Rumeng, good night." Qin Yi's voice was much more relaxed.

"Good night."

Gu Rumeng carefully watched Qin Yi enter the bedroom through her fingers.

Until the moment the door closed, she breathed a sigh of relief and put down her hands covering her face.

Under the illumination of the incandescent light, her cheeks were like ripe snake fruits, so red that they seemed to ooze blood.

"Oh my God... what's wrong with me..."

"Why am I so flustered just because Xiaoyi held my feet..."

"And why is my heart beating so hard..."

"Could it be... Could it be that I really have feelings for Xiaoyi..."

"No, no!"

"Calm down! How could I have such thoughts about Xiaoyi?"

"It's all an illusion! My feet are just too sensitive!"

Gu Rumeng unconsciously looked down at her feet and looked away in panic.

She felt that she was now

Not only was her heart beating fast, but her whole body was also a little hot. She had to take a shower to calm down.

But when she just stood up, she saw two pairs of eyes looking at her furtively at the corner leading to the bathroom.

"?"

Gu Rumeng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and shouted angrily: "You two!!"

"We're asleep too! Good night!"

Kong Xinrui and Xue Mingyue quickly retracted their heads and ran into the bedroom. The laughter of the two could still be heard faintly.

"Stop! You're done tonight!!"

...

...

In the bedroom on the other side.

Qin Yi was about to lie down on the bed when he heard shouting from the living room.

He hesitated for a moment, went back and quietly opened the door a little to look outside.

At this time, the door of Gu Rumeng's bedroom was closed. There was no one in the living room, but the begging of Sister Xinrui and Sister Mingyue could be heard vaguely.

"No one should die, right?" Qin Yi muttered to himself, and was about to close the door and rest again when a chubby figure squeezed in. "Meow!" Baozi called softly, jumped onto Qin Yi's bed with ease, yawned, and then lay down in the middle, collapsing like a cat cake. Qin Yi smiled, closed the door and got on the bed, and gently took Baozi into his arms. Baozi did not resist, and swayed a little, found a comfortable position, and then put his head against Qin Yi's chin, squinting his eyes in enjoyment. "Baozi, do you think Sister Rumeng is really not angry with me tonight?" Qin Yi asked softly. He knew Baozi didn't understand, so it was better to say that he was talking to himself than asking. "Meow~~" Baozi turned around and put his fat paws on Qin Yi's face. "Hmm? You mean, Sister Rumeng is not angry with me?"

Qin Yi smiled and touched Baozi's head.

"Meow!"

"Thank you."

"Meow..."

Baozi was probably sleepy, and closed his eyes after answering this.

Qin Yi saw this and stopped disturbing Baozi's sleep.

He turned off the light, and it was pitch black in front of his eyes. He kept thinking about the scene that happened in the living room not long ago.

Until the sleepiness swept over him like a wave, forcing him to gradually fall asleep...

...

...

The next morning.

Qin Yi was awakened by a strange noise.

He opened his eyes in a daze and found that Baozi was squatting on the desk, constantly fiddling with a paper box with his fat claws.

"Baozi, don't you want to sleep for a while?"

Qin Yi said this in a daze before he was sleepy, and then closed his eyes again unconsciously.

Until there was a "bang" sound, as if something heavy had hit the floor, which instantly woke Qin Yi up.

He sat up suddenly and found Baozi looking up at the ceiling with an innocent face.

The paper box that was just being fiddled with by it had disappeared.

Qin Yi realized that something was wrong. He heard that cats have a mean hobby, that is, they like to push any movable objects on the table off the table.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi's eyes moved down...

As expected, the paper box that was supposed to be on the desk was lying on the ground at this moment.

Baozi, who realized that the matter was exposed, immediately jumped off the table and quickly got under the bed.

Seeing this, Qin Yi smiled helplessly.

Of course, he would not care about Baozi, but...

When did such a paper box appear in the room?

And the packaging of this paper box is a bit familiar, it looks like it was made of homework paper.

Out of doubt, Qin Yi got off the bed and picked up the paper box. Just as he guessed, the surface of the paper box was wrapped with a layer of homework paper.

Carefully opened it and took a look...

Why is it a mobile phone?

Or new? !

Wait...

There's another note?

He opened it and saw a few words on it.

[Brother Qin Yi, happy birthday to you. This is a birthday gift from my brother and me]

[PS: The phone has been unpacked and cannot be returned. Sister Xinrui also said that there is no reason to return an unpacked gift, so don't think about returning it to me or my brother. Just accept it honestly, OvO! ]

After reading the content on the note, Qin Yi felt a warm current in his heart.

Then, he looked at the packaging of the phone. Although he didn't recognize the model, the price should not be cheap.

"I'll return it to Chen Jinghui when I get to school."

Qin Yi said to himself.

The thought can be accepted, but the expensive gift itself is not.

He stuffed the things into the bag, opened the bedroom door and came to the living room.

The living room was empty at this time. Qin Yi looked in the direction of the hallway and found the key inserted in the door.

In the past few days, he has observed that Sister Rumeng has a habit - after locking the door at night, she always puts the key in the

Leave it in the keyhole.

In this way, if a thief wants to come in and steal something, it will not be so easy to pry the lock open.

So, based on this, Qin Yi judged that Sister Rumeng should not have woken up yet.

So he washed up a little, changed his shoes and went out to buy some breakfast.

When he returned home, there was still no movement in the living room.

Qin Yi thought that Sister Rumeng had sprained her ankle last night and had to rest more to recover quickly.

So he did not knock on the door. After finishing his breakfast, he silently left a note and set off for school.

Half an hour later.

Bus 216 arrived at the station near the school.

After getting off the bus, Qin Yi walked towards the school gate as usual.

But before he took a few steps, a hand suddenly clasped his shoulder.

"Qin Yi!"

The familiar voice and familiar tone, like a fly flying into his ears, instantly aroused Qin Yi's strong disgust.

He didn't even want to turn his head back, and struggled to get rid of the hand on his shoulder.

However...

The source of the sound didn't seem to want to give up.

The sound of high heels hitting the ground was unusually crisp. Before Qin Yi could run, the other party grabbed his shoulders again and blocked his way with his body.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Don't you want to see my elder sister?"

Qin Wangshu's voice was a little dissatisfied. He glanced at Qin Yi's face full of disgust with a serious look, and his brows frowned immediately.
