Rebirth, the childhood sweetheart turned out to be my sister

Unlike Jiang Yao, who only knows how to make steamed food, Xu Luo's cooking skills were passed down from Xu's father, so the two cannot be compared.

For example, just like now, Jiang Yao only knows how to make water noodles, but he also knows how to make marinade. This is the difference.

Feeling that Jiang Yao had been looking at him eagerly, Xu Luo suddenly asked: "How do you spend your time on rainy days at home like this?"

The water isn't boiling yet, so he can talk for a while.

"Just... cover yourself in the quilt, put on your headphones, and listen to music to sleep."

He smiled and said, "Are you just pretending to be dead?"

"Hmm~"

I was ready to refute, but for some reason I weakened just by seeing this guy's eyes, and the arrogant words in my mouth were immediately scattered.

The girl nodded and hummed slightly.

"Are you still scared now?"

Xu Luo put away his usual joking manner and asked with some distress.

"Well~ I'm not so scared today,"

Although you can do it alone, having one more Xu Luo will give you an extra sense of security after all.

Once again, Jiang Yao thought it would be good to be this guy's sister...

While talking, the noodles in the pot were also cooked.

Xu Luo took out two pairs of bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, filled two bowls of noodles, and came to the living room with Jiang Yao.

He handed the chopsticks to the girl and said, "Come, try my cooking skills, I guarantee it will be delicious!"

This time Jiang Yao ignored the fact that he called himself his brother. He obediently took the chopsticks, picked up a few noodles and started eating.

The moment she entered the mouth, a sweet and salty smell of meat sauce hit her taste buds. The fragrant smell aroused greed. The girl couldn't help but squint her eyes. A pair of little feet under the table were also happy. Swinging around.

"How about it?"

"It's delicious, better than what I make."

It was rare for the girl to be frank and praise her mercilessly.

"If it tastes good, eat more..."

While talking, Xu Luo seemed to suddenly see something, stood up and walked to her.

Before Jiang Yao could react, he put his hand to his lips and sipped it gently.

"What...are you doing?! Don't act like a hooligan at night!"

"What are you talking about? I ate all the noodles on my face," Xu Luo stretched out her hand and saw a short piece of white noodles on it, which was just wiped off her face.

Seeing this, Jiang Yao blushed a little. She was like a child and couldn't even eat.

"Okay, let's eat quickly~"

Fortunately, Xu Luo was not talking about this matter, otherwise the reserved girl would definitely die of embarrassment.

"Ah."

Raising her head, Jiang Yao could see the boy opposite who was slurping noodles.

At this moment, the girl felt indescribably happy. This feeling was wonderful. She was happy but also had a strong sense of security, as if she didn't have to be afraid of anything as long as he was there.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to have a man at home...

The girl lowered her head and raised the corners of her mouth slightly. At the same time, the two little feet under the table once again followed the master's wishes, swinging back and forth.

This seems pretty good...

Under the dim light, the shadows of the two people were reflected on the wall behind them, which was particularly harmonious.

In this way, the two of them spent today's supper time by candlelight.

……

After eating the noodles, Xu Luo and Jiang Yao returned to the living room on the third floor with the nearly burned out candle. It was already 11 o'clock.

Now there's two pieces of bad news.

First, it is still raining heavily outside. It seems that it is impossible to call tonight.

Also, only half of the candles that Xu’s father brought from the funeral were left.

Logically speaking, the two of them should have gone back to their respective rooms to get ready for bed, but...

Xu Luo glanced at Jiang Yao, who was still sitting on the sofa reading a book. On the surface, the literary girl was actually reading, but secretly, she had been observing her every move.

"It's 11 o'clock."

He put away the scratch paper on the table and pretended to mention it casually.

"Oh…"

Jiang Yao groaned, but made no move.

Xu Luo:......

"You can take the candle into the room later and remember to blow it out when you go to sleep. Don't let it catch fire."

As soon as these words came out, the girl couldn't hold back anymore. She spread the book and covered her face, only revealing her big eyes and blinking at Xu Luo.

Seeing that she was restless on the sofa, Xu Luo hesitated for a while and asked, "Are you afraid of the dark?"

"I don't... ah!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, before he even finished speaking, a deafening thunder sounded. Even Xu Luo was startled, let alone Jiang Yao, who screamed.

Then, the girl bit her lip, holding extracurricular reading materials in her arms, and looked at him inexplicably pitifully.

"How about we sleep in the living room today, you sleep on the sofa, and I make the floor?"

Jiang Yao nodded inaudibly, then took the flashlight, put on her slippers and walked towards her bedroom.

By the time she came out, Xu Luo had already laid out the bamboo mat and made pillows and summer quilts.

From packing their things to lying down, both of them tacitly understood each other and didn't say much.

Not long after I lay down, the remaining candle failed to hold on and went out with a pop.

The huge living room became pitch black. In the darkness, apart from the visual senses, people's other senses became particularly sensitive.

Xu Luo could clearly hear the breathing of the girl on his right.

After a while, just when Xu Luo was about to close his eyes and sleep, Jiang Yao's voice suddenly came from beside him, which seemed a little weak against the sound of rain hitting the glass.

"Hey...Xu Luo...Xu Luo..."

"…What's wrong?"

Xu Luo was inevitably a little angry when he was suddenly disturbed when he was about to fall asleep, and his tone of voice was slightly unkind.

Jiang Yao's voice became softer, as if she was frightened, but then she asked a little aggrievedly: "Well, you...are you asleep?"

Xu Luoren was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a while. He said in a funny and helpless voice: "Jiang Yao, do you know that you just said nonsense."

"Forehead…"

It's really nonsense...

"What's up?"

"I want to go to the toilet."

"Ha~go~go,"

Xu Luo wrapped herself in quilt and turned over so that her back was facing the girl.

"Hey! You...you go with me."

"No, the toilet is over there and not far away. Just go there by yourself with a flashlight."

In the darkness, the girl opened her mouth but stopped talking.

After a few more minutes, she probably couldn't bear it anymore. Jiang Yao got off the sofa, climbed onto the mat, and gently poked Xu Luo's back.

"Xu Luo...Xu Luo..."

"Oh, my aunt, what are you going to do?"

Xu, who had just fallen asleep and was woken up again, looked at her helplessly with a grimace.

"To the restroom…"

"You go alone and I'll take care of you, okay?"

He took the flashlight and illuminated the bathroom on the left side of the stairs.

"No, you obviously know that I'm not that brave..."

Afraid of the dark and afraid of pain.

Hearing this, the young man felt helpless again. This girl was really arrogant. She could just say that she was timid. Why was she not brave?

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you~"

Unable to resist Jiang Yao's repeated requests, Xu Luo had no choice but to wrap herself up in a summer quilt, put on slippers and follow her to the toilet.

A few minutes later, Xu Luo, who lay down again, was completely sleepless. He looked at Jiang Yao. He was probably not used to sleeping on the sofa, and it seemed that he couldn't sleep either.

"Jiang Yao." He sat up and faced her.

"what happened?"

Jiang Yao was a little surprised, thinking that he also wanted to accompany him to the toilet.

"Let's chat."

"What to talk about?"

The girl followed his example and sat up wrapped in Xia Liang. Although the two could not see each other clearly, they could both feel each other's presence.
