After dressing as a villain, I'm with the paranoid male protagonist.

Outside the house, the wind whimpered and the rain was loud.

In this windy and windy weather, the human voice will be somewhat distorted through the door panel.

However, Qiao Annian recognized He Nanlou's voice immediately.

It was because he recognized He Nanlou's voice that Qiao Annian froze in place.

For a while, I wondered if I was hallucinating.

How could Xiaolou appear here?

"Little Joe, is that your friend?"

Hearing the old man Meng Haisheng's words, Qiao Annian quickly recovered, "It's my brother. Sorry, I didn't know he was coming over today..."

Qiao Annian felt very sorry for waking up the whole house this late at night.

Qiao Annian said in a low voice, "Can you trouble the second elder to open the door?"

After all, it was the home of the two old people, so Qiao Annian couldn't take the initiative to open the door.

"Little Qiao, is it really your brother?"

Meng Haisheng and Xiao Qianqian were obviously very surprised.

"Ah."

Qiao Annian nodded embarrassedly.

Meng Haisheng put down the stick in his hand, and Yue Qiming opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the wind and rain poured in.

Outside the door, He Nanlou was wearing a black windbreaker, holding a red umbrella in his hand, standing in the rain.

Qiao Annian was blinded by the wind and rain.

The people outside the house looked so immature at the age of eighteen or nineteen.

How did this child come to them on the road alone in the dark, or on a mountain road?

Meng Haisheng and Yue Qiming were taken aback.

"Quick, come in quickly. Is it raining heavily outside? Is it cold? Come on, come in quickly and warm your body."

Yue Qiming hurriedly beckoned the child to come in, turned his head and told his granddaughter, "Cissy, go and get a clean towel, and remember to pour a cup of hot tea by the way."

"Hey, good."

Xiao Qianqian ran to pour hot tea.

Meng Haisheng closed the door.

The wind and rain were isolated from the door.

Qiao Annian wiped the rain from his face, and finally he was able to open his eyes normally.

Xiaolou was closing the umbrella, his coat was soaked, water was dripping from the tip of his hair, and the hand holding the umbrella handle was pale and blue from the wind and rain.

Qiao Annian's heart tightened suddenly, and his throat was slightly astringent.

"Come on, boy, give me the umbrella."

Meng Haisheng took the umbrella from He Nanlou's hand and put it in the bucket by the wall.

He Nanlou raised his head and looked in the direction where Qiao Annian was.

The two looked at each other.

Xiao Qianqian brought hot tea and came over with a towel, "Here."

He Nanlou's hair was dripping with water. It stands to reason that he should wipe it off with a towel before serving hot tea to warm his body.

But He Nanlou didn't intend to reach out to pick it up at all, and thanked him plainly and straightforwardly.

From the moment Qiao Annian heard He Nanlou's voice until now, he has been in a state of being out of his mind.

For He Nanlou's arrival, he still has no sense of reality until now.

Until now, he finally had a sense of reality, and somehow wanted to laugh——

They are all drenched, and they still refuse to use other people's towels. I'm afraid they are the only ones in the world.

But after all these years I haven't taught in vain, and I still know how to thank girls.

I just don't know how Xiaolou got here.

Qiao Annian sighed lightly from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you, Sissy. Give it to me."

...

Qiao Annian led Qiao Annian to his room.

The door to the room closes.

Joannian subconsciously

Wanting to take off the wet coat for the child, the outstretched hand hesitated for a moment, and instead pointed to the opposite direction of the bathroom.

"That's the bathroom. You take off your coat and pants and put them in there. Come out and drink hot tea. I'll wipe your hair again." Putting the hot tea and towels on the table in the room, Joan Nian said to the child.

From the luggage bag, I found a clean towel.After zipping up the backpack, Qiao Annian raised his head and saw that the child was still standing there, so he joked casually, "Why, do you want me to take it off for you?"

The two of them were used to joking before, but it would be too strange to explain something special now.

The child looked at him with straight eyes, which made Qiao Annian feel guilty.

Don't Xiaolou really notice something?

Fortunately, Xiaolou just glanced at him, then looked away and went to the bathroom.

Qiao Annian's hand holding the towel suddenly loosened.

He is promising.

It's just a look at each other, with such a guilty conscience, I'm really afraid that Xiaolou won't be able to see it.

The child went in and took off his wet clothes.

Qiao Annian was sitting on the bed in a daze with a towel in his hand.

He didn't know what he thought of, his ears got hot, and he hurriedly got up from the bed again.

There was no air conditioner in the room, and worried that the child would be cold when he came out, Qiao Annian took off the down jacket he was wearing and put it on the bed, and went to put on the fleece sweater.

He only plans to stay outside for one day, and the down jacket and overcoat take up too much storage space, so he doesn't have an extra coat except for the one he wears during the day.

The bathroom door was pushed open.

Qiao Annian thought that in winter, children would wear cotton trousers anyway, but he came out with only underwear on his lower body.

From the waist down are all legs.

Qiao Annian only took one look, then quickly looked away. When he handed over the coat, his eyes were fixed on the child's shoulder.

He was worried that he would not be able to hold his gaze even higher or lower.

After letting the child put on the coat by himself, Qiao Annian went to find some pajama pants for him.

In front of Qiao Annian, He Nanlou bent over and put on his pajama pants.

It's really enviable to say that, obviously he exercises no less frequently than Xiaolou, Xiaolou's abdominal muscles are even more symmetrical than his, and they also have a sense of strength.

Qiao Annian regretted putting on the fleece sweater.

heat.

It's hot.

Terrible.

...

The child finally put on his pants, and Qiao Annian's tense body slowly relaxed.

Breathing, body temperature and so on are also slowly returning to normal.

"Are you ready? When you're done, sit on the chair and I'll wipe your hair."

Qiao Annian called the child to sit down on the chair in front of the table, and did not forget to pass over the hot tea on the table, "Drink the tea first, your body will be warmer."

He Nanlou took the tea in silence, while Qiao Annian stood behind and wiped his hair.

For a while, neither of them spoke.

He Nanlou didn't drink the hot tea in the cup right away, but held it in the palm of his hand. After a while, he took a sip slowly.

It was just such a small move that made Qiao Annian's nose sore.

Just now, just opening the door for a while, he felt extremely cold.

There is no traffic road here, it is rainy, it is night, and it is still an unfamiliar mountain road, and I don't know how long Xiaolou walked alone at night.

It must have been frozen?

The child's hair finally stopped dripping, and Qiao Annian hung the towel on the back of the chair.

He knelt down in front of the child and took the child's hand with both hands.

He was obviously wrapped in a down jacket, and he had warmed his hands with hot tea just now, but his fingertips were still cold, and only the palm of his hand felt cold.

A little bit of warmth.

The moment he touched his fingertips, the coolness even made Qiao Annian's body tremble instinctively.

Qiao Annian breathed and rubbed his hands again.

I didn't dare to meet the child's eyes, afraid that the secret would come out of my own eyes.

...

The hands in the palms, together with the fingertips, gradually warmed up.

Only then did Qiao Annian let go.

When he got up, his head was a little dizzy, and his body wobbled. He instinctively put a hand on Xiaolou's shoulder, but he couldn't stabilize himself, and sat down on Xiaolou's lap.

Joannian: "!!!"

Qiao Annian quickly got off the child's lap, "Didn't it hurt you just now?"

The child was expressionless and did not speak.

Qiao Annian wasn't sure if he hurt the child just now, but he was sure, the child was probably angry now.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stopped talking to him since entering the room.

Qiao Annian felt a little guilty.

Did he notice his evasion during this time?

Qiao Annian: "...I brought an extra set of clothes and put them on the bed for you. Your hair is too wet, you'd better take a shower. There is a pair of disposable summer slippers by the bathroom door , I brought it here, you can wear it when you take a shower."

Qiao Annian was sure that the child would not refuse, because for Xiaolou, there was absolutely no way to sleep with wet hair, let alone after the rain.

Sure enough, the child got up, took his clothes, and went to the bathroom.

He wears his clothes and does not refuse to have physical contact with him, but he just refuses to talk to him.

Ok……

Does it mean that you are not that angry?

Coax it, can it still be saved?

...

The rain outside the window showed no sign of stopping.

The sound of wind and rain was as loud as it could be, but it couldn't drown out the sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom.

Qiao Annian sat on a chair first, and after a while, he paced around the room instead.

He was worried about what to do when he was sleeping at night.

In case there is a reaction...

That was a hell of a disaster.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so Qiao Annian decided to find something for himself.

He took the empty bowl and the towel hanging on the back of the chair out of the room.

The old house is a three-entry courtyard on the second floor, but the rooms and guest rooms are on the first floor.

The second floor is the former master bedroom of the two old people, and the room where Xiao Qianqian's parents slept with her when she was a child.

Because the elderly are getting older, they are not as convenient as they were when they were young, so Xiao Qianqian accompanied the two grandfathers and moved to a room on the first floor, so that it is convenient to take care of the two elderly people.

In the corridor, Qiao Annian met Xiao Qianqian who was holding a quilt in her hand.

Xiao Qianqian was very surprised: "Senior, it's so late, you are going to..."

"After finishing the tea, I'll take out the bowl and wash it, and return the towel by the way."

"No, no. You put the bowl and the towel first, and I'll bring you back together after I bring you the quilt later."

Qiao Annian: "Your quilt is for us?"

"Yeah. My grandpa said that it's cold in the mountains at night, and two people build a bed together to let in the wind, so it's easy to catch a cold. It's almost Chinese New Year. If you get sick and catch a cold, you won't be able to eat a lot of delicious food. How difficult it is. Grandpa also asked me to tell you something." I'm sorry, because I didn't know that the senior's younger brother came back, the upstairs guest room was not cleaned up. Senior, please take the bowl and towel back, I'll take them away later. "

This quilt arrived just in time.

With two quilts, he and Xiaolou wouldn't sleep in the same bed, even if they reacted by accident, it wouldn't end the scene.

"Grandpa Yue has a heart, thank you Grandpa Yue for me. I share a room with Xiaolou

Room is the same. "

Qiao Annian hugged the quilt in Xiao Qianqian's arms with one hand, and urged the little girl to go to bed quickly, "It should be you who go to sleep, just leave the quilt to me."

"But……"

Qiao Annian smiled and said, "Actually, my brother is taking a bath now, so it's not convenient for you to go in."

Ah, that's a little inconvenient...

"How about this. Senior, give me the bowl and towel, and you can take the quilt back by yourself. Is this all right?"

In social situations, if you are overly polite, it will easily make both parties uncomfortable.

When Xiao Qianqian took the bowl and towel away from him, Qiao Annian did not refuse.

...

Qiao Annian went back to the room with the quilt in his arms.

"Have a good chat?"

Qiao Annian hugged the quilt with one hand, and closed the door with the other.

Leng Bulingding was startled when he heard the voice behind him, "I was really scared to death by you just now."

Qiao Annian put the quilt on the bed, and the two quilts were folded in strips, each occupying half of the bed.

The old-fashioned babu bed is very large.

Even if there are two quilts on the bed, it will not be crowded at all.

Qiao Annian spread the quilt, turned around, and asked the child, "Baby, what did you say just now?"

He was only in shock just now, and didn't hear what Xiaolou said.

The child didn't speak, but when his eyes fell on the two quilts on the bed, his eyes showed mockery.

Qiao Annian followed the child's gaze, worried that the child would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained: "The two old people asked Sissy to bring it for us, because they were afraid that the two of us would cover the quilt at night and the air would leak out. It's not that I dislike you Sleeping position, specially looking for the quilt that the two old people asked for."

Speaking of which, Xiaolou's sleeping posture was extremely bad when he was a child, but it got better when he grew up. Apart from being able to grab the quilt, he no longer kicked people indiscriminately, or punched people in his dreams.

As Qiao Annian was talking, he suddenly realized belatedly. He looked at the child and said, "Finally willing to talk to me? Are you not angry with me?"

He Nanlou: "What did you do to make me angry?"

Joannian: "..."

What does it mean to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot?

"Why don't you dry your hair? Come, let me dry it for you."

Joannian lamely changed the subject.

Xiao Qianqian and the two elderly people were very thoughtful, and even a hair dryer was prepared for him in the bathroom of the guest room.

After Qiao Annian washed her hair at night, she dried it with the hair dryer in the bathroom.

Qiao Annian went to the bathroom and came out with a hairdryer.He plugged the hair dryer into the outlet beside the bed, and beckoned to the child, "Bao, come here."

...

The whirring sound of the electric fan echoed the whimpering wind outside the window.

Qiao Annian brushed the child's soft hair with his fingertips. For a moment, he thought, if time just stopped here.

Hair dries quickly.

Time flies too fast.

Qiao Annian brushed the end of the child's hair with his fingertips reluctantly, bent down, and pulled out the plug of the hair dryer.

Qiao Annian put the hair dryer back on the shelf in the bathroom.

Bowing his head, he kissed his fingertips slowly, which felt soft like the tip of Xiaolou's hair.

Qiao Annian turned around, and unexpectedly met He Nanlou at the door.

Joannian's heart skipped a beat.

When did Xiaolou stand at the door?

Just now... can't you see it all?

No way?

Qiao Annian was so embarrassed that he could use his toes to dig out a castle, and his face was so calm, "Are you going to the bathroom? Go ahead, I'm going out."

The child looked at him with black eyes: "What were you doing just now?"

Qiao Annian has never given himself up since he became black

Leave no room for: "Jerks."

He Nanlou: "..."

...

Qiao Annian lay prone on the bed and beat the pillow a few times with clenched hands.

Ahhhhh!

Would Xiaolou suspect that he was really having a convulsion?

Forget it.

Xiaolou thinks that he has convulsions, and it is better than knowing his dirty thoughts about him.

Qiao Annian punched the pillow a few times, then immediately turned his head and looked towards the bathroom vigilantly, fearing that he would die like before.

The sound of washing came from the bathroom, indicating that the person hadn't come out so soon.

Qiao Annian got up from the bed anyway, went to get the micro slip and put it on the bed.

Leaning against the back of the bed, he looked at the photo taken today in the mirror with a decent appearance.

I often turn to the next photo and have no impression of the previous photo, so I have to look at it again.

The efficiency is extremely low.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Joannian raised his head with a camera in his hand.

It was only at this time that he noticed that the long-sleeved pajamas he was wearing were worn on Xiaolou's body, and the cuffs only reached the wrists, not to mention the pajama pants, which were cut short and turned into cropped trousers .

Very happy.

Qiao Annian held up the camera and took several pictures in a row.

In the camera, the child glanced over coldly.

Qiao Annian is not that person now, the child glanced at him, and he knew the person who put down the camera.

The person in the lens is getting closer and closer, and the parts of the body gradually become clearer, as if they were zoomed in.

Open-fronted pajamas, the top three buttons were unbuttoned, and the firm texture of the clavicle and heel was particularly clear when approached, seductive and restrained.

In the past, Qiao Annian would have dared to touch them directly, and compared them with confidence, who had the better chest muscles, he or Xiaolou.

Now I absolutely don't have that courage.

He didn't have that kind of thought about Xiaolou before.

Now he has a different thought, if he touches Xiaolou's body again, he is deliberately taking advantage of Xiaolou.

Qiao Annian hurriedly put down the camera.

...

Qiao Annian took the mirrorless camera off the bed and put it in the camera bag.

Turning around, the child has already picked an outside position to lie down.

Qiao Annian made a mistake.

The old-fashioned Babu bed can only be used on the side facing the door, and the other three sides are surrounded by wooden carvings, so there is no way to go up.

Xiaolou's body was long, so he went to the bed alone, and there was no room for him to get on it.

It means that if he wants to go to bed, he has to go through the small building.

what!what!what!

Like this kind of thing, why is it so annoying?

In the past, this was not a problem!

Qiao Annian walked to the bed and discussed with the child, "Baby, you can sleep in, okay?"

He Nanlou glanced over and silently asked the reason.

Qiao Annian now made up one: "I have to work when I get up early tomorrow. If I sleep inside, I will easily wake you up when I get up in the morning."

To this, the child's reaction was to pull off the quilt and turn around indifferently.

Joannian: "..."

...

The negotiation failed, so Qiao Annian had no choice but to get up from the end of the bed——

The cat bent over and stepped over the child carefully.

Finally lying on the bed, Qiao Annian rested his head on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

too difficult.

The night was more thrilling than the day.

Qiao Annian took his own quilt and covered him.

Qiao Annian didn't feel sleepy, he believed that Xiaolou was the same as him.

Small

Lou is so smart, he may have noticed something, of course, it is also possible that the authorities were deluded and didn't notice anything.

Joannian sincerely hoped that it was the latter,

Xiaolou is his closest and most intimate person in this world.

He didn't want to change the status quo, and he didn't want to take even the slightest risk of losing the small building.

Qiao Annian: "Bao, the light is on your side, turn it off."

With a bang, the lights were turned off, and the room was plunged into darkness.

There was silence all around, and the sound of wind and rain outside could be heard more clearly.

Qiao Annian counted how many times the wind roared, how many times the wind whimpered with the sound of rain.

After a whistling wind, Qiao Annian asked a question that he had held back all night: "Bao, how did you know I'm here?"

He Nanlou: "Jiang Ruoyi, Cheng Yunxi."

The car drove to the entrance of the village, and as soon as I asked the villagers, I knew the exact location.

Joannian: "..."

Almost forgot, Yunxi and Ruoyi knew that he was coming to take pictures of Qianqian's two grandfathers.

"Bao, what do you think? Come all the way here?"

The child was silent.

"You drove up the mountain alone? Do you know how dangerous it is to drive the mountain road at night? I dare not drive down the mountain at night, and you are too brave. Besides, it was raining at night. When I found out that it was raining, You shouldn't drive up the mountain anymore, but you should find a homestay and go up the mountain after dawn."

Originally, Qiao Annian really planned to chat a few words casually, but the "parents" made a mistake, and unconsciously became a bit long-winded.

"You can't do such a dangerous thing again next time, you know?"

As long as Qiao Annian thought of accidents on the mountain road, or children holding umbrellas, on the way all the way to find here, he would be terrified for a while.

"You hide from me." The voice was low, mixed with accusations and grievances.

Lore!

This time, Qiao Annian was completely silent.

After a long while, Qiao Annian finally found his voice: "I..."

"Finally figured it out, what excuses are you looking for to trick me?"

Joannian: "..."

It doesn't have to be so direct.

There was a rustling, turning over sound.

There was heat, slowly brushing past his ears.

Qiao Annian couldn't help it, and raised his hand to touch his slightly itchy ears.

The back of the hand was inadvertently rubbed to a piece of softness.

The back of Qiao Annian's hands burned, and she was about to put her hands under the blanket in a panic.

The wrist was held, and there was a warm touch from the joints of the wrist.

Qiao Annian wondered if the sound of wind and rain outside could cover up his heartbeat at this moment.

"During this time, why are you avoiding me?"
