Chapter 9

Moving is undoubtedly a troublesome thing, and it is a physical labor. Ji Xiuran, Lu Jingyao, and the moving company brother were so exhausted that they moved back and forth four or five times before moving the things on the car into the new home. .

The door closed, and Ji Xiuran collapsed on the chair exhausted. It was already very hot in summer, and he was already covered in sweat. He raised his eyes and saw that Lu Jingyao was also sweating profusely.

Ji Xiuran took out a few napkins and handed them over, and wiped his own sweat, then he heard Lu Jingyao say, "Wait for me for a while."

A few minutes later, Lu Jingyao brought up two bottles of mineral water and gave Ji Xiuran one. Both of them were extremely hot and thirsty, and they couldn't wait to open the bottle caps and drink water.Lu Jingyao took a few sips, and looked down to see Ji Xiuran drinking water with his neck up. He drank a little too quickly, and the water that he didn't have time to swallow dripped from his chin, flowed through his delicate Adam's apple, and disappeared into his black shirt.Lu Jingyao turned his eyes away, feeling himself getting hotter.

The two rested for a while, and Ji Xiuran began to take apart the boxes, took out the contents and put them in appropriate places. Although there were not many boxes, there were quite a lot of things, and it was one o'clock in the afternoon in a blink of an eye.

Didn't bother to eat lunch, Ji Xiuran was already hungry, turned around to see that Lu Jingyao was no longer in the living room, and then the door was unlocked, Lu Jingyao walked in with a recycle bag, and smiled at him: "Are you hungry? Come and eat .”

Ji Xiuran was stunned, looked at his heavy sweat from the sun, and then looked at the bag in his hand, after a while, Ji Xiuran walked into the bathroom, took a towel to wash it, wring it dry, and handed it to Lu Jingyao , asked him: "Is it hot?"

"It's okay, it's not hot." Lu Jingyao smiled, his almost drenched back exposed his current situation, Ji Xiuran thought for a while, and turned on the air conditioner in the living room, in case the two of them would catch a cold, the temperature was not too low.

The food was still hot, Ji Xiuran sat down to eat, although it was a very common three dishes and one soup, but perhaps because Lu Jingyao bought it himself, he was very satisfied.

After eating, he continued to pack his things. After another hour, all the items were tidied up one after another. The ground was dirty with moving boxes. Ji Xiuran took a rest and prepared to clean up.

In order to clean some stains on the floor, he splashed some water on the tiles and poured a small amount of floor cleaner. White foam soon appeared on the floor. In order to prevent the slippers from being soiled, Ji Xiuran and Lu Jingyao each put on two shoe covers .

The mop went over the tile and the stain disappeared.Ji Xiuran was mopping in front with a mop. There was only one mop at home, and he didn't have the nerve to ask Lu Jingyao to help him, so he mopped the floor quickly by himself.

The blue shoe cover was put on the slippers, he took a step back, and was about to continue dragging, when the sole of his foot suddenly slipped, and he fell back uncontrollably!

"Be careful!" Lu Jingyao, who was standing just behind him, quickly stretched out his hand to support him, and pressed his palm on Ji Xiuran's waist. The temperature of his body penetrated through the black shirt, making his palm seem to be on fire.And when he lowered his head, he could see a drop of sweat on the tip of Ji Xiuran's nose, and then his rosy lips, Lu Jingyao's Adam's apple rolled, and the still water in his chest rippled again.

And Ji Xiuran was caught off guard and almost fell, he hurriedly stood up straight, lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened and continued mopping the floor.But he could clearly feel the roots of his ears burning red, and the thick palm just now pressed against his waist made his breathing stop for a beat, and he almost lost his composure.

"Let me do it." Afraid that he would slip again, Lu Jingyao grabbed the mop from his hand without any explanation, and half bent down to mop the floor.The floor was swept clean in a short time, and while he was mopping the floor, Ji Xiuran was also wiping the cabinets and glass. In just two hours, the whole house was completely new and spotless.

Ji Xiuran touched the sweat on his forehead. He himself had a black shirt, so he couldn't tell if it was dirty, but Lu Jingyao's was different. His white shirt was already dusty, so dirty that he couldn't see it, and the front and back were wet. Sticking it on the back through, it's like going through water.

Ji Xiuran's eyes fell on Lu Jingyao's looming abs and mermaid lines under his clothes, he looked away unnaturally, then covered his lips and coughed, looked up at Lu Jingyao, and said to him, "Thank you for helping me move today, I will invite you to move tonight." You can eat, but we all have to take a shower and change clothes first."

"Okay." Lu Jingyao nodded, watching Ji Xiuran walk into the bedroom.

Then, Ji Xiuran took out a set of clothes and stuffed them into Lu Jingyao's hands. His cheeks were flushed for some reason, and he said, "I bought this whole set together, but unfortunately I bought it too big, so I didn't wear it." But, can you wear what you can first?" He had no choice but to go and buy clothes for Lu Jingyao temporarily, so he had to borrow his own clothes for him to wear first.

Lu Jingyao nodded, took the clothes and walked into the bathroom, he looked down at the shirt and trousers in his hand, and picked out a pair of white cotton underwear, the size was somewhat similar to his.Lu Jingyao raised one corner of his lips, with a smile in his eyes, he went in to take a bath happily, and even hummed a song happily while taking a bath for the first time in his life.

After taking a shower, Lu Jingyao put on his clothes. He was embarrassed to find that the size of his underwear was a little too small, a bit tight, but fortunately he could barely wear it. He tidied up his clothes and walked out of the bathroom. He sat on the sofa to dry his hair, and waited for Ji Xiuran to finish washing.

Ten minutes later, the bathroom door opened, Ji Xiuran came out neatly dressed, his hair was casually wiped with a towel, and he was about to put on his shoes and go out.

"Wait." Lu Jingyao frowned and stopped him. He dragged Ji Xiuran back to the living room, pressed his shoulders to let him sit on the sofa, then turned on the hair dryer, blowing on his hair with a warm setting.

"No, I don't need it, I'm not used to it." Ji Xiuran subconsciously reached out to block it, but was pushed away by Lu Jingyao.

Lu Jingyao ignored his refusal, put one hand on his shoulder, let him sit down, and then continued to help him dry his hair.He stared at Ji Xiuran's soft hair, and said seriously for a while: "Even in summer, you can't go out with wet hair, it's very bad for your health, you have to be responsible for your own body."

"...Oh." Ji Xiuran was stunned, unable to refute a word, hot wind blew from the back of his head and neck, the hair on the top of his head was gently moved by Lu Jingyao's palm, his eyes were wide open, his heart beating like a drum , I couldn't hear any other sounds in my ears, and there was tension in every limb and every nerve ending.

If he wasn't so clear in his heart, he would almost think that the two of them were...

His hair was drying gradually, and then Lu Jingyao put down the hair dryer in satisfaction. He stood behind Ji Xiuran, looked at his fair neck, and stopped his finger an inch above it. He wanted to put it down, but finally moved it away.

A few minutes later, the two went out and drove to a nearby shopping mall. The sightseeing elevator went straight to the fifth floor. This time, the two chose Chinese food and finished their dinner among the lively crowd.

As usual, it was Lu Jingyao who drove Ji Xiuran home. When he arrived at the unit downstairs, he stepped on the brakes and turned on the dome light. The warm yellow light illuminated Ji Xiuran's side face on the co-driver. Lu Jingyao turned to look at him and said softly: "Then I will I won't send you up, and have a good rest tomorrow." At the end, he lowered his eyes and raised them again, and added: "If you need anything, you can find me anytime."

Ji Xiuran responded, unbuckled his seat belt and opened the door to get out of the car. Suddenly, Lu Jingyao's gentle and deep voice came from behind: "Xiuran, good night." He paused, and then replied softly, "Good night."

The streetlights in the community were very bright, and Ji Xiuran's slender figure cast a long oblique shadow under the streetlights, and disappeared with the closing of the unit door.

Lu Jingyao didn't leave immediately. He opened the door and got out of the car. He stood beside the car and looked up. Ji Xiuran lived on the fifteenth floor. Return to the car with confidence, start the car and leave.

At the same time when Ji Xiuran arrived home, he was still not quite used to this new home, he stood at the entrance for a long time before thinking of going in.He went to the balcony and looked down, the black car was gone, Ji Xiuran blinked, thinking of everything that happened today, his frown slowly unfolded, he stretched his body against the glass wall, with a smile on his face.

It would be great if we could get along like this in the future.

******

It's Monday again.

Ji Xiuran came to the company early, and every Monday he had to sort out and summarize the work content of last week, and then make a report when the meeting was held. He spent the whole morning polishing up the summary, and prepared to go upstairs for the meeting in the afternoon.

However, at noon, a message was sent from the work group saying that the meeting this afternoon was temporarily cancelled.Ji Xiuran stared at the message for a few seconds, then got up and went downstairs for dinner.

In the past, he could see Lu Jingyao in the cafeteria downstairs, but this time he didn't. Ji Xiuran finished his meal in disappointment and walked to his office.

Suddenly a few colleagues passed by, and they said as they walked: "The meeting in the afternoon will not be held, so should my work summary be handed in together with this week's?"

"Maybe." Another person continued: "Mr. Lu has gone abroad to inspect overseas branches, so the meetings for the past two weeks will probably be suspended, or they will be changed to video conferences when he is free."

When Ji Xiuran heard this, he suddenly understood.It turns out that Lu Jingyao has gone abroad, no wonder he was not seen in the cafeteria, but how long will he be going, won't he be back soon?

Ji Xiuran shuffled back to the office, staring sullenly at the work summary on his computer, Lu Jingyao's face and his gentle eyes vaguely appeared on the screen, Ji Xiuran's eyes widened, staring at that face fascinated.

He didn't know when Lu Jingyao would come back. Ji Xiuran had a frowning face and wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would be abrupt. In case Lu Jingyao happened to have something to do, but if he didn't ask, he really wanted to know.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, Ji Xiuran suddenly raised his head, took out his phone, opened WeChat, and found Lu Jingyao's name.

Wouldn't it be fine if he just pretended to call him for a work report?

Thinking about it, Ji Xiuran's brows were filled with gloom, and he couldn't wait to press the button to request a video call, took a deep breath, put the phone away, stared at the screen tightly, rubbed his hands and fingers unconsciously, and pursed his lips tightly .

A few seconds later, the call was connected.

The author has something to say: Lu Jingyao: The size of my daughter-in-law is smaller than mine, I am very satisfied :)
