first love again

Chapter 37

The next day, Xu Miao was woken up by a knock on the door. His brain was still a little sluggish after struggling from the dream. It took several seconds for him to realize something. He hurriedly replied, got out of bed in a hurry, put on his slippers, and went out to open the door.

He brushed his hair and opened the door.

Seeing the person standing outside the door, Xu Miao gave him an annoyed look, but obviously smiled, "Don't you have the key to my house, why are you still knocking?"

Holding a paper bag, Jiang Yifan passed him into the house, "Just open the door and come in to call home, not New Year's greetings."

Xu Miao almost laughed out loud, "Yes."

He was still wearing pajamas, his hair was messy, and he obviously just got up from the bed. Jiang Yifan gave him the bag and said, "Put it on."

"What is this?" Xu Miao took it, opened it and peeked inside, but found that it was clothes. He was taken aback, dumbfounded: "You just bought it? When did you buy it? Aren't all shopping malls closed for Chinese New Year? Yet?"

Although Jiang Yifan said that he came to pay New Year's greetings, he went to boil water and make tea as if he was returning to his own home, and replied casually: "I bought it before, and it just came in handy."

Xu Miao was even more confused. Realizing something, he took the bag and walked to Jiang Yifan, suppressed his emotions, and asked, "How many things did you prepare for me before?"

The electric kettle made a slight sound, Jiang Yifan turned around and lowered his head to meet his eyes, and licked the corner of his lower lip, "A lot."

Too many to count.

Xu Miao felt that the clothes were too heavy, and the rope of the paper bag seemed to be hooked on his heart. He gently put the bag on the floor, took the initiative to hug Jiang Yifan, felt his body temperature, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you."

Jiang Yifan patted him on the back, "Go wash up, I'll make breakfast."

Xu Miao refused: "There is no one to make breakfast for New Year's greetings, I will come later."

Jiang Yifan: "It's okay, you worked hard yesterday."

He was referring to cooking a New Year's Eve dinner. Xu Miao couldn't help laughing, "It's okay, it's not too hard. Would you like to stay for lunch?"

Jiang Yifan nodded, "OK."

After Xu Miao washed up, she put on the new set of clothes.

The size of the clothes is suitable, and the style is relatively trendy. He sat on the sofa and carefully put on the shoes, completely dumbfounded, and couldn't put it down: "The first pair of AJs in my life..."

"Do you like it?" Jiang Yifan asked.

Xu Miao couldn't stop laughing, she was very happy: "I like it so much!"

With a smile on his face and bright eyes, he sincerely thanked: "Thank you, baby."

Jiang Yifan bent his lips, "You're welcome."

After Xu Miao put on her shoes, she stood up and kissed Jiang Yifan, smiling, "My thanks."

Jiang Yifan thought for a while, and joked with him in a good mood: "It seems not enough."

Xu Miao smiled even more, and asked gently, "Do you want to do it?"

"It's too late, and I still have to pay New Year's greetings to grandma." Jiang Yifan reached out to touch the corner of his lips, and said, "Wait tonight."

Xu Miao said pleasantly, "Aren't you going back tonight?"

Jiang Yifan looked at him, and his tone was a bit intriguing, "Didn't we agree to give you New Year's greetings tonight?"

Xu Miao naturally thought about it, and coughed lightly: "...I thought it was a normal New Year's greeting, the kind that left after eating."

Jiang Yifan: "Don't leave after eating."

Xu Miao thought of something again, her cheeks were hot, and she hurriedly said, "I'm talking about eating."

Jiang Yifan suppressed his smile calmly, and deliberately asked: "Isn't what I said?"

Xu Miao: "..."

He glared at Jiang Yifan, "Rogue! I'm going to cook!"

Although the tone was fierce, the curvature of his lips couldn't help but rise when he turned around.

After they had breakfast, they went to prepare some nutritional supplements and came to pay grandma New Year's greetings.

At noon, I stayed at my grandmother's house for lunch. Xu Miao pointed to the boiled shrimp next to her with chopsticks, and whispered to Jiang Yifan, "Try that shrimp, I think it's the best."

Jiang Yifan caught one, he doesn't eat seafood very much, Xu Miao saw that he was not very easy to peel the shrimp, and it took a while to finish peeling, he approached calmly, and asked softly: "Is it delicious? If you still want to eat, I will Peel the shrimp for you, you are too strenuous to peel the shrimp."

In front of Grandma, Xu Miao was like a spy, keeping her voice down when chatting with Jiang Yifan.

Grandma saw that the two of them were whispering all the time, with loving smiles on their faces. Although she still didn't understand, seeing their smiles, she felt that it was not a bad thing.

Xu Miao peeled the prawns, put them in Jiang Yifan's bowl, took out a paper towel and just wiped his hands, when suddenly there was a loud noise from the bathroom, which startled him.

"It's broken, it's broken." Grandma stood up with her hands on the table, and said anxiously, "The ceiling has collapsed."

Xu Miao put down the tissue and hurried to the bathroom. The ceiling of the bathroom collapsed, and the cement hit the floor, creating a mess.

Jiang Yifan stood beside him and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"Tofu dregs project." Xu Miao frowned and said, "It's okay, I'll make up for it later."

Grandma still looked worried, and sighed: "It's a big Chinese New Year, this is a bad thing."

The elderly are superstitious, so Xu Miao hurriedly comforted her: "No, nothing can be broken, it's just that the building is too old. I'll fix it later and make sure it's the same as before!"

Jiang Yifan's expression was not very good, and he asked Xu Miao, "Is this always the case?"

Xu Miao smiled: "How can it be, how can people live when the walls often collapse?"

After eating, Xu Miao went to get the cement and scraper, because the wall had collapsed several times before, so he prepared the tools and put them away.After mixing the cement, Xu Miao moved a ladder, climbed up with a small bucket filled with cement, and smeared the cement with a scraper.

Jiang Yifan supported the ladder and looked up at him, "Be careful."

Xu Miao lowered her head and smiled at him, "Don't worry, I'm pretty good at this!"

Grandma stood at the door of the bathroom, watching the two of them helping, the anxiety lingering in her heart finally dissipated a little.

After the cement is applied, wait for it to dry before applying the white paint.

Xu Miao climbed down the ladder, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked with a smile, "Can you help clean it? I want to take a shower."

Jiang Yifan nodded, "OK."

Xu Miao went to get him a small scraper and a steel wool ball, and said, "Just use a knife to scrape off the solidified cement on the ground, and use a steel wool ball if it is not clean. Thank you for your hard work, baby."

Jiang Yifan took it, and said lightly, "Leave it to me."

Xu Miao deliberately changed his clothes before plastering the cement, and also took off the ring. Sure enough, after finishing, his clothes were covered with a lot of dust, and his hair was also covered with cement dust. He went upstairs to take a shower, and put on the new suit again. Clothes, and then go downstairs to grandma's house.

Grandma was preparing glutinous rice wine in the kitchen, and the sweet aroma permeated the room. Xu Miao went to the kitchen to take a look, and said with a smile, "Grandma, it smells so good."

"It's almost ready." Grandma smiled, "You all have to drink some later."

Xu Miao said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, Xu Miao went to the bathroom again. Seeing Jiang Yifan cleaning up the cement on the floor seriously and attentively, he walked over, squatted down, and said, "I'll help."

Jiang Yifan raised his eyes and refused: "No, it's almost ready."

"Okay." Xu Miao was still squatting next to him, with a smile on his face all the time, "Grandma is making rice wine, it's delicious, and it warms your body after drinking it, would you like to try some?"

Jiang Yifan frowned slightly, and said, "I've never had rice wine."

Xu Miao was a little surprised, "Haven't you ever drunk rice wine? Does your family know how to make it?"

Jiang Yifan: "Yes."

Thinking of his family, Xu Miao suddenly understood. He smiled and said, "It's okay, I can taste it later."

After cleaning the ground, Jiang Yifan went to wash his hands.

Xu Miao stood beside him leisurely, looking at him through the mirror.

Suddenly, Jiang Yifan raised his eyes and met Xu Miao's eyes in the mirror.

Xu Miao was instantly amused, and blinked her left eye at him, "Oh, I was caught peeking."

Jiang Yifan's eyes were filled with a smile, he turned off the tap, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, turned around and locked the door behind him, stood in front of Xu Miao, looked at him condescendingly, and said concisely: "Reward."

"What?" Xu Miao blinked, "You asked me for a reward?"

Jiang Yifan nodded and said, "The reward for cleaning the ground."

"It's just a little work." Xu Miao laughed angrily, "Then who will give me the reward for wall-pasting?"

Jiang Yifan: "I will."

Xu Miao understood instantly, and couldn't laugh or cry: "If you want to kiss, just say so, do you have to reward each other?"

Jiang Yifan's eyes fell on his lips, straight and naked|exposed, Xu Miao subconsciously licked his lips, and just about to kiss him, a grandmother's voice came from outside the door: "Miaomiao, Yifan, are you all right?"

Xu Miao paused, the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared, and he said depressedly: "Forget it, go out and drink rice wine, it's sweeter."

Jiang Yifan took his hand, kissed his lips lightly without saying a word, and said in a low voice, "The door cannot be locked in vain."

There were still some traces of softness on the corners of the lips, Xu Miao looked at him straight in the eye, and suddenly burst out laughing, "I thought of a sentence, don't take advantage of the bastard, it's about you."

Jiang Yifan opened the door, and asked lightly, "I kiss you to take advantage?"

Xu Miao insisted, "It's without my consent."

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan gave him a meaningful look.

Grandma filled two cups of steaming rice wine. Xu Miao sipped it. The sweet rice wine warmed his stomach. He turned his head and asked Jiang Yifan, "How is it? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious." Jiang Yifan raised his eyes and saw his grandma busy knocking the leftover rice wine into the kettle in the kitchen. He approached Xu Miao calmly, and whispered in his ear, "But it's not as sweet as yours."

Xu Miao couldn't help laughing: "...so nasty."

Jiang Yifan: "I'm serious."

"It's too nasty."

Jiang Yifan's brows and eyes softened, and he stretched out his hand to touch Xu Miao's cheek, rubbing it lightly with his fingertips, and just about to speak, he caught a glimpse of Grandma turning around from the corner of his eye, and he let go of his hand in a quite natural posture.

"What's the matter?" Xu Miao didn't understand, and when she turned her eyes, she saw Granny coming, and she understood: "Oh."

Grandma wiped her hands on the apron and muttered vaguely: "I almost forgot..."

She took out a pair of woolen slippers she knitted herself from the room, handed them to Jiang Yifan, and said with a smile: "Yifan, my mother-in-law knitted a pair of shoes for you, try to see if they fit."
