first love again

Chapter 22

Xu Miao slept very deeply. He was afraid that he would not be able to fall asleep at night, so he set the alarm clock and only slept for two hours.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yifan was outside the room, and his figure quietly slipped into Xu Miao's dream again.

Xu Miao dreamed that Jiang Yifan came to his house, and they stayed overnight for the first time.

It was late September, and the weather was still very hot. The dilapidated hut was filled with orange light, and the electric fan was blowing tirelessly. The night was too quiet, and there were faint coughs from a distance.

They were young and restrained, lying on the same bed, not talking to each other, but their palms were sweating with excitement.

Xu Miao slept on the inside, her back almost scalding the mat into a hot one. Because Jiang Yifan was beside her, she felt that the silent night was a little hotter, which made him almost unable to breathe.

He endured it for a long time, finally couldn't restrain himself, turned his head quietly, little by little, his eyes gradually met Jiang Yifan, and softly called his name: "Jiang Yifan..."

Jiang Yifan also turned to look at him, feeling uncomfortable, so he turned sideways to him, "What's wrong?"

Xu Miao bit her lower lip and said honestly, "I feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable."

Jiang Yifan was silent for a while, then nodded: "It's a little embarrassing."

"Or—" a thought flashed in Xu Miao's mind, and he hesitated between his lips. He was still embarrassed, and he sighed in frustration, "Forget it."

Jiang Yifan met his gaze and asked in a low voice, "What?"

Xu Miao shook her head, "I don't want to say it, it would be even more embarrassing to say it."

"I got it."

Xu Miao was taken aback, panic and bewilderment flashed in her eyes, "No way, I guessed it?"

Jiang Yifan asked: "You want to kiss, don't you?"

Xu Miao: "..."

His face was completely red, he was quiet for a while, and finally decided to go all out, and asked with a firm tone: "Can't you?"

Jiang Yifan looked at him, with a smile in his eyes, and his tone softened, "Okay."

Xu Miao licked his lips, pressed Jiang Yifan's shoulder, leaned over and kissed him. This was his second kiss, and he didn't have any skills at all. He only knew how to rub his lips carelessly, and his lips were almost scratched. With helplessness in his eyes, Jiang Yifan quietly opened his mouth slightly, signaling his next move.

Out of human instinct, Xu Miao finally stuck his tongue in. It was soft, like a ball of cotton candy with a cloying sweet taste, and ran amok in his mouth.

Jiang Yifan got a taste of him, and finally didn't let him try again, took the initiative back, hugged him and rolled over on the bed.

Xu Miao swallowed, dumbfounded: "Jiang Yifan, you look very experienced."

"No." Jiang Yifan's voice was a little hoarse, his eyes kept falling on his rosy lips, "I only kissed you."

Xu Miao whispered: "Me too, why am I not as proficient as you?"

"I teach you."

Xu Miao's face turned red immediately, "There is no need to teach this."

Jiang Yifan endured the restlessness in his heart, finally looked away, and responded with a low voice.

The room fell into silence again. This silence hides the sound of a huge heartbeat, and there is also a green touch, like an unripe fruit, a little astringent and a little sweet.

Xu Miao turned to look at him, ignored the beating heart in her chest, and called him softly: "Jiang Yifan."

Jiang Yifan looked over, "Huh?"

He was still young, and he didn't know how to hide his eyes. When he looked over, his eyes were filled with Xu Miao's figure.

Xu Miao suddenly laughed, her eyes turned into gentle crescents, and the corners of her mouth were raised, showing the purest happiness.

"That's good."

……

The alarm clock rang, Xu Miao woke up from sleep, he lifted the quilt to get up, and walked out of the room.

Jiang Yifan was still in the living room, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he followed the sound, "Are you awake?"

Xu Miao smiled and nodded, "Yes, I slept for two hours."

I dream about Jiang Yifan in my dream, and I can see him when I wake up.

Very nice.

Xu Miao sat next to him, subconsciously glanced at the computer, but found that it was all in English, and she couldn't understand it at all.

Jiang Yifan was still looking at the screen, his eyes focused and serious, Xu Miao didn't want to disturb him, so she stood up quietly, "Go ahead, I'll go and see if there are any dishes in the refrigerator."

Jiang Yifan was so focused on his work that he casually responded.

Xu Miao opened the refrigerator and found that there were no ingredients in it. He went to change his clothes. Afraid of disturbing Jiang Yifan's thoughts, he didn't say hello and left quietly to buy vegetables.

Xu Miao rode a shared bicycle and went to the supermarket to buy vegetables.

While picking carrots, the phone rang suddenly, and it was Jiang Yifan calling, "Xiao Xu, where are you?"

Xu Miao put the radish in a plastic bag and said, "I'm shopping for vegetables. You were busy just now, so I didn't tell you. I'll go back later."

Jiang Yifan was quiet for a moment, then said, "Okay."

Xu Miao asked: "What kind of fruit do you want to eat? I want to buy some fruit back home."

"It's all right." Jiang Yifan said.

Xu Miao: "Then I'll just buy some."

Jiang Yifan responded and asked, "Shall I pick you up?"

"No need." Xu Miao smiled, "It's not that long, so you can stay at home, it's cold outside, I'll be right back."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Miao went to buy some fruits again. Grandma was old and bought some bananas for her. He pushed the shopping cart to check out. After queuing for a long time, he walked out of the supermarket with a big bag of fruits, vegetables and meat.

Xu Miao swept another bicycle, but the basket was not enough for such a big bag, so he had to keep an eye on the shopping bag while riding the bicycle to prevent the ingredients from falling out.

After finally reaching the corridor entrance, Xu Miao was sweating all over.

Walking to the door of the house, Xu Miao really didn't want to knock on the door, and shouted inside, "Open the door!"

He didn't call Jiang Yifan's name. He was afraid that if the grandma downstairs heard it, it would be bad, so he probably had to ask again.

Jiang Yifan came to open the door, took the shopping bag in his hand, and felt that it was heavy when he carried it. He subconsciously frowned and asked, "Did you walk back?"

"No, I'm riding a bike." Xu Miao took off his coat, threw it directly on the sofa, rolled up his sleeves, took out a bottle of wild vegetable juice from the refrigerator, and took a big gulp, "Hey, cool!"

Seeing him like this, Jiang Yifan didn't say anything, put all the ingredients in the shopping bag into the refrigerator, and said, "I'll cook."

Xu Miao was also polite, "Okay."

He was lying on the sofa with wild vegetable juice, and while turning on the TV, he even watched the commercials with gusto.

Jiang Yifan was cooking dinner in the kitchen, and Xu Miao could hear the sound of washing and cutting vegetables from the kitchen.

He turned and knelt on the sofa, went to see the kitchen, and called out, "Jiang Yifan."

Jiang Yifan: "Huh?"

"Would you like to help?" Xu Miao smiled, putting her hands on the sofa, "It's just an advertisement, I'm free."

The kitchen is open, Jiang Yifan turned his eyes, and waved to him from a distance, "Come here."

Xu Miao immediately ran into the kitchen, with an indelible smile in her eyes, "What am I going to do?"

Jiang Yifan thought for a few seconds, then cut vegetables, and wrote lightly: "Sing a song."

Xu Miao was speechless, laughed and cursed and punched him, "Are you annoying? Seriously, how about I chop vegetables?"

"No need." Jiang Yifan put down the knife, looked around, and said, "Just wash the dishes."

Xu Miao curled her lips and said, "Give me some mentally handicapped work."

He obediently went to the sink to wash the dishes. After washing the dishes again, he put them on the chopsticks stand, wiped his hands and walked over.

The vegetables had already been put into the pot, and when they hit the hot oil, they made a "sizzling" sound, and a few drops of hot oil splashed out. Xu Miao was startled, and hurriedly said, "Be careful!"

"Yeah." Jiang Yifan looked back at him and said, "Stay away."

Xu Miao stood behind him, watched him cook, and said in a faintly worried tone, "You should be careful."

Jiang Yifan's cooking skills are neither good nor bad, just mediocre, which is different from him.

In the end, Jiang Yifan cooked a table of dishes, and Xu Miao didn't help at all, so he helped serve the dishes at the end.

After the dishes were served on the table, he took the lunch box again, packed the meals, and wanted to serve it to Grandma, "I'll go downstairs, you can eat first."

Seeing him carrying a lunch box, Jiang Yifan asked, "Where are you going?"

"Bring food to grandma." Xu Miao said, "It's the one downstairs, remember?"

Jiang Yifan remembered that he had heard Xu Miao mention it many times, and he nodded, "I remember."

Xu Miao smiled, "Then I'll deliver the food, you eat first."

Grandma was about to make dinner, but fortunately Xu Miao was in time, so he opened the lunch box and filled it with food, saying, "Grandma, I won't accompany you for dinner today, a friend is here."

Before Grandma could ask, Xu Miao hurriedly said, "Man, man."

Grandma heard the words and didn't ask any more questions, but said: "There is no need to bring the rice here, I am ready to cook the rice."

"It's okay, it's a matter of convenience." Xu Miao smiled, remembered something, looked carefully at grandma, and said, "This dish is made by my friend, try it and see how the craftsmanship is."

"Okay, I'll get the chopsticks." Grandma laughed, went to get the chopsticks, and sat down and asked, "Miaomiao, who is your friend? Do I know you?"

"You don't know him." Xu Miao said with a smile, "He just returned to China not long ago, and he used to study abroad."

"Have you ever been abroad?" Grandma was a little surprised, picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put them into her mouth, chewed them, and said, "The cooking skills of those who have gone abroad are not very good."

Xu Miao almost laughed out loud, and there was a twinkle in her eyes.

He chatted with grandma for a few more words, and then went upstairs for dinner.

Jiang Yifan didn't move his chopsticks, waiting for him to eat together.

Sitting opposite him, Xu Miao couldn't help laughing when she thought of her grandmother's words, and forced the corners of her mouth to curl up.

Jiang Yifan noticed his strangeness, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Xu Miao looked at him, finally couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing.

Jiang Yifan frowned: "?"

Xu Miao suppressed her laughter as much as possible, cleared her throat, and said, "Grandma tasted your food just now, and she said something very funny."

"What?" Jiang Yifan asked.

Xu Miao looked up at him, her dark eyes were bright, sly and cute, "I don't want to tell you."
