The Silent Cherry And Plum Blossoms
Chapter 118
An Zhi almost jumped off the bed, without putting on his shoes or changing his pajamas, and opened the door with a bang.She lives on the second floor, and a few steps around the corner is the stairs leading to the door on the first floor.
An Zhi rushed down the stairs with bare feet, opened the door, Yan Qi was standing at the door, she was wearing a simple white shirt and black long skirt, a long beige trench coat was draped over her arms, and her mobile phone was still in her hand.
She seemed to be taken aback by An Zhi, just smiled: "So fast?"
An Zhi screamed loudly and rushed over to hug her.
Yan Qi hurriedly raised the phone, the windbreaker on the other arm slipped down, and the bag fell to the ground, he hugged her back and finally slowed down her rushing momentum.
An Zhi hooked her neck and jumped, speaking incoherently: "Ah!!! Auntie! Why, why, you came here suddenly!"
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me!"
"I'm so happy!"
She screamed and danced, her dimples were full of sweet smiles, and she had never been so happy.
Yan Qi had to put the phone back in the pocket of her skirt.Putting his arms around her, he also laughed because of her surprise: "My God, you..."
"What the hell?" The black old friend on the first floor poked his head out, with messy braids: "Ann!"
"It's noisy," Yan Qi said softly, An Zhi turned around and smiled at him: "Sorry!"
Seeing the two of them embracing each other, the black old friend was a little dazed, grabbed his braids and shrugged and went in: "Wow, girlsarecrazy..."
An Zhi ignored him, she hugged Yan Qi tightly, "Auntie, Auntie."
Yan Qi smiled: "Okay, I'm right here." She looked down, An Zhi was barefoot, and she was only wearing thin pajamas, "Hurry up and go back to the house."
An Zhi let her go and smiled.
"Oh," she picked up Yan Qi's bag and her windbreaker, and dragged her upstairs.
Anzhi's dormitory has a good environment. On both sides of the entrance is the kitchen, the other is the bathroom, and the living room.She found a three-seater long gray sofa, desk and bookshelf, and a small balcony in front of the living room.
The bedroom is very simple, just a bed, white sheets and pillows.
Yan Qi nodded, quite satisfied, with few floors, safe and quiet.
"It's just too expensive..." An Zhi muttered, "I only have a pair of slippers, you can wear mine."
An Zhi pulled her to sit on the sofa, gave her slippers, went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of water, and suddenly exclaimed: "I haven't brushed my teeth or washed my face yet."
Went to the bathroom again.
There was a smile in Yan Qi's eyes, she took a sip of water, leaned on the sofa, she was a little tired from the long flight, she let out a breath, and closed her eyes.
There was a sound of footsteps, the sofa collapsed, and when Yan Qi opened his eyes, he saw An Zhi's face, which was slightly wet, like a fresh and delicate face of a lotus flower soaked in rain and dew.
It was pleasing to the eye and made her happy.
"Are you tired? Do you want to go to sleep, are you hungry? By the way, I'll make breakfast..."
Before Yan Qi said anything, An Zhi ran to the kitchen again.
Yan Qi covered his lips and smiled.
"Don't be my share, I ate it on the plane." She raised her voice.
"Okay." An Zhi replied to her.
Ten minutes later, she brought a bowl and a spoon to her: "Almond coconut milk, I added chia seeds, nut slices and mango pulp to it, it shouldn't be unpalatable."
Yan Qi looked at her deeply with a smile, took the bowl, and couldn't help touching her face with the other hand, "Then what do you eat?"
"Well, it's okay. I've finished baking the toast, and I'm going to fry the ham." An Zhi smiled at her and ran to the kitchen again.
this little rabbit...
She has been bouncing around since she came in.
She took a spoonful and put it in her mouth. It tasted slightly cool. Mango is her favorite food. She didn't feel much appetite at first, but now she can easily eat it one bite at a time.
"Is this ChiaSeed?"
"Well, it's good for your health," Anzhi came out with a plate, biting the toast, "just soak it well before eating."
Yan Qi nodded: "It's not bad."
"It's not delicious." Anzhi didn't have a dining table, so she put the plate on the table, and she took a sip of milk.
"Going to the lab this morning?" Yan Qi put the bowl on the table.
"Hmm..." An Zhi pouted.
"It's okay, you can go." Yan Qi reassured.
An Zhi puffed his face, his eyes lit up: "I'll go in the morning, and I'll be back in the afternoon."
"Okay." Yan Qi stared at her, unable to look away.
"Then you rest here for a while, and I'll be back when you wake up."
"Okay." Yan Qi completely obeyed her arrangement, An Zhi told her to go to the room to change clothes for a while, and then took out the spare key for her.
"Ah, it's getting late, I should go."
Yan Qi sat on the sofa, watched her busy, and finally went out with half a piece of toast in her mouth.
Yan Qi blinked his eyes, a little dazed, a little indescribably disappointed: At this time, there shouldn't be...
At this moment, the door slammed open, An Zhixing rushed in, her soft body and arms approached Yan Qi, hugged her tightly, and rubbed her tender cheeks: "I'll be back soon, I'm really We're going to be late..."
Before Yan Qi could react, she ran out again.
Yan Qi paused for two seconds, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
When An Zhi went to the laboratory, Yan Qi washed the dishes for breakfast and walked around her dormitory.She had slept on the plane, but in Anzhi's bedroom, under the blanket that smelled like her, Yan Qi slowly fell asleep.
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when she woke up, and An Zhi had already returned.
She got up, went out to eat lobster with her, and walked around the Harvard campus.The buildings in Harvard University are like castles. It is almost evening, and the sunset glow is as gorgeous as a gold powder painting.
"Tomorrow we can go to the city," Anzhi planned excitedly.
Yan Qi looked at her and smiled: "I have to go back on the weekend afternoon."
"Oh..." An Zhi lowered his head.
Yan Qi approached her, took her hand, slipped it from her wrist to her palm, and clasped his fingers tightly.
They had never held hands like this before.
An Zhi looked at Yan Qi's side face, his cheeks blushed.
In the early autumn night, the two of them huddled together under the thin quilt, and Yan Qi could only wear An Zhi's clothes. make up.
Yan Qi looked at her quietly, listening with a smile.
The happy time is always fast, and soon it is time for her biological clock to go to bed, but An Zhi insists on staying awake, she is reluctant to part with this precious time together.
Later, Yan Qi had no choice but to hug her and stroke her hair: "Okay, it's time to sleep."
"But..." An Zhi tried to open his eyes, but his eyelids were already drooping.
"Hush, sleep well, wake up tomorrow, I'm still here."
An Zhi looked up at her, her sleepy eyes looked soft, "Auntie..."
"Um"
When neither of them spoke, the room seemed to shrink, shrinking under the quilt.The world seems to have become smaller, in their embrace compressed into nothing, only exists between their breath.
As long as their breaths merge, the world disappears.
An Zhi was asleep, she hugged Yan Qi's waist with one arm, and rested her head on her shoulder, sleeping soundly.
Yan Qi stared at her carefully under the dim light, stroking her lips with his fingers.
Further, you can kiss her.
Whenever he wanted to go further, the young An Zhi would jump out, limp and small.She felt very guilty, so she tried her best to resist the temptation.
An Zhi didn't give her a hint, she needed a little hint, a hint from An Zhi at this stage.
She is very kind and considerate to her, but this is An Zhi, she has always relied on her, got close to her, and treated her as well as possible.
She was still afraid that she would scare Anzhi if she did something.
Relatives and friends are easy to do, but for couples, sometimes one step is wrong and you can never go back.
Yan Qi bit her lower lip lightly, now they are not like before, how could An Zhi lie in her arms and sleep as if nothing had happened.
Could it be that An Zhi doesn't understand what a couple should look like?
Could it be that she hasn't reached that point yet for herself?
But what happened to the previous kiss across the fingers, the kiss on the back of the neck, and the finger kiss?
Yan Qi exhaled lightly in the dark, she struggled back and forth, worrying about gains and losses.But the girl in her arms was dressed lightly, with white and greasy skin leaking from the neckline, sleeping soundly without any warning.
Yan Qi suddenly laughed, and she gently pinched An Zhi's cheek, "This little rabbit."
Anzhi was conscious at this time, she rubbed her fingers attached to her, and got closer to her, the softness of her chest rubbed against hers, and the electric current rose from her skin and went straight to her heart.
Yan Qi let out a breath, his face was slightly hot.It took a while to calm down.Kissing her hair, the helpless and doting smile that cannot be hidden in his eyes.
When Yan Qi woke up, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and she smelled the aroma of noodles.
She got up, put on her clothes and went to the outside room, just as An Zhi came out with a small pot, smiling brightly: "Wake up, eat noodles.
According to Boston time, today is your birthday. "
Yan Qi came over after washing up.
An Zhi cooked a small pot of noodles, which were instant noodles. She added vegetables, ham, mushrooms, and poached eggs, but they were very fragrant.
"Sorry, I can only give you this..."
The dormitory, the plain and rich food, her smiling face, everything has exceeded expectations, Yan Qi felt.
She picked up the noodles with chopsticks and it was delicious.
As soon as he bit into the poached egg, the thick and fragrant heart came out, Yan Qi let out a satisfied "huh", took a bite, and fed the other half to An Zhi.
An Zhi bit his teeth, with a bright smile in his eyes, the joy and happiness from the bottom of his heart could not be hidden, Yan Qi looked at it in a daze, and sighed inwardly.
This cannot be hidden, there is no need to confirm it again, she just needs to let it be.
The two shared a small pot of noodles.Laying on the couch watching a movie on a laptop.
"Ah, my gift should arrive tomorrow. If I had known you would come, I would not have sent it." An Zhi pouted.
"Well, it's okay." Yan Qi said, her eyes stayed on the movie screen.
An Zhi felt that Yan Qi's embrace made her feel lazy, and she was so comfortable that she didn't want to leave.But in a few hours, she was going to board the plane.
She felt her embrace, peeking at her profile, neck, and lips.Strangely, the years did not leave obvious marks on Yan Qi's face, but softened her outline and polished her temperament.On the contrary, time has endowed her with a stronger and more precious charm, which cannot be achieved at any youthful age. It permeates from her hair, eyes, laugh lines, demeanor, and every move.
An Zhi's eyes stopped at her lips, wondering if they were as soft as she imagined.
In his memory, Yan Qi never took the initiative to kiss her, but only kissed her forehead perfunctorily, but that was different.
Anzhi really wants to,
But she dared not.
Neither will she.
She asked Yang Mengmeng and Xu Jiaer what it was like to kiss and what skills they had when kissing, and their answers were similar.
"When you kiss, your body's instinct will tell you."
But the problem is, she dare not even kiss...
Yan Qi doesn't seem to have that kind of meaning...
Could it be that in her heart, she has no charm, does she?
Or is she still a child in Yan Qi's heart?
An Zhi felt depressed and didn't dare to show it. Finally, Yan Qi stayed on the plane for so long and came to see her. She couldn't have negative emotions.
It's a torment.
Time passed quickly, and in the evening, when night fell, Yan Qi had to catch a plane.She refused Anzhi to take her to the airport.
"No, it's too late when you come back, I don't worry." Yan Qi's tone was even a bit serious.
An Zhi said reluctantly: "But I..."
"No."
An Zhi was taken aback, and lowered his head slightly aggrieved.The sky was gray and dark, and a hanging lamp on the porch shrouded them in warm light. The cool wind blew over, and there seemed to be a few raindrops floating over.
An Zhi raised his head and decided to express his feelings directly: "I don't want to part with you, I want to spend more time with you."
After speaking, she felt a little grievance in her heart, and her eyes were wet.
Yan Qi was slightly taken aback, approached her, patted her head: "Good boy."
It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but An Zhi feels even more wronged when she talks about it, as if she is the only one who has been addicted to fantasy and longing for so many years and cannot extricate herself.Yan Qi is always so calm.
She almost cried.
Yan Qi sensed something was wrong, "Tao Tao?"
An Zhi's lips were bitten by her, she grabbed Yan Qi's clothes corner, desperately said: "Aren't I cute? Why don't you kiss me?"
An Zhi rushed down the stairs with bare feet, opened the door, Yan Qi was standing at the door, she was wearing a simple white shirt and black long skirt, a long beige trench coat was draped over her arms, and her mobile phone was still in her hand.
She seemed to be taken aback by An Zhi, just smiled: "So fast?"
An Zhi screamed loudly and rushed over to hug her.
Yan Qi hurriedly raised the phone, the windbreaker on the other arm slipped down, and the bag fell to the ground, he hugged her back and finally slowed down her rushing momentum.

Yan Qi had to put the phone back in the pocket of her skirt.Putting his arms around her, he also laughed because of her surprise: "My God, you..."
"What the hell?" The black old friend on the first floor poked his head out, with messy braids: "Ann!"
