"We're here." Lin Subai stopped outside a somewhat old courtyard and put Yu Xi down from his back.

"Where are they?" Yu Xi glanced around and frowned slightly. Where did Lin Subai take her? Why didn't she see the people on the boat?

After Lin Subai put Yu Xi down, he took out the key and opened the gate of the courtyard, turned his back and said:

"The people on the boat went to the street ahead to find a hotel. I didn't have an umbrella, so I carried you back to my home."

After listening to Lin Subai's explanation, Yu Xi nodded slightly and said to him: "Then you are home, I will go to find them now."

When Lin Subai heard Yu Xi say that she was leaving, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable and turned around and blurted out something.

"Where is your shamelessness from before! Now that you are at my doorstep, don't you ever think of asking me to stay the night?

It's thundering, lightning, and heavy rain. Your leg is injured. Do you still want to risk your life and run in the rain?"

Lin Subai's sudden rebuke made Yu Xi feel strange. She raised her eyes and fixed her gaze on his handsome face.

It was then that Yu Xi realized that Lin Subai was really tall. She was a little short, not even up to his shoulders.

The clear black and white eyes gave Yu Xi a feeling of purity and elegance.

At this time, Lin Subai's clothes were wet by the rain, and his hair was also wet. His messy hair stuck to his flawless white forehead.

He should have looked very messy and dishevelled, but it gave him a kind of decadent beauty.

Yu Xi couldn't deny that the young man in front of her was handsome. He was like the most carefully crafted work of art by God, without a trace of ordinaryness in him.

She wondered how there could be such a handsome man in the world, with eyebrows as sharp as a knife, slanting into his temples.

Her eyes are like stars, bright and deep, and her nose is high and white as jade.

The closed lips were bright red and beautiful, pink and soft like a girl's.

There is not a trace of femininity in him, but rather a kind of upright and masculine strength.

Yu Xi once saw adjectives such as "dragon-like stature and phoenix-like appearance" and "extraordinary bearing" in a book and thought they were exaggerations by the ancients.

But after taking a closer look at Lin Subai today, I realized that these words were specially created for some people.

Yu Xi is not a pretentious person. She was rejected by Lan Lan just now, and she did feel a little resistant.

But when Lin Subai brought up this matter, she was very lucky to have a place to stay, so she naturally said:

"Student Lin, can I stay at your place tonight?"

Yu Xi's willingness to follow suit made Lin Subai feel less uncomfortable, and he said to her: "Come in!"

He pushed open the door and stepped into the courtyard.

Yu Xi also limped behind Lin Subai.

The courtyard is not big, it is square and surrounded by a wall. There is a stone table and stone bench in the middle of the yard, and a gardenia tree is planted. The ground is paved with cement and is kept very clean.

The raindrops fell on the eaves, soaking the cement floor of the courtyard.

Yu Xi looked at the dim room in the courtyard and wondered what kind of work Lin Subai's relatives did. They had not returned home so late in the stormy weather.

She asked: "When will uncle and aunt go home?"

When Lin Subai heard Yu Xi's question, he stopped unexpectedly. Yu Xi followed behind him and almost bumped into his back.

Yu Xi didn't understand why Lin Subai suddenly stopped and asked: "What's the matter?"

Lin Subai turned around and said to Yu Xi seriously: "I am the only one living here, I don't have any uncles or aunts."

Lin Subai's serious expression made Yu Xi feel a little apprehensive. She wondered if her questions had touched some bottom line.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked so much."

Yu Xi felt a little aggrieved. She just wanted to have a normal chat, but she didn't expect that a few words would touch Lin Subai's sore spot, making her become very rude.

Lin Subai did not respond to Yu Xi's words, but just led the way silently in front. Yu Xi did not get a response, so he followed him with his head lowered awkwardly.

When they reached the house, Lin Subai turned on the light and let Yu Xi go in first.

Yu Xi kept his head down and walked into the room in silence.

Lin Subai said to Yu Xi: "Your clothes are wet. Although it is summer, it is easy to catch a cold if you wear them like this. I will go get you some clean clothes. You can find a bench to sit on."

Yu Xi replied softly, "Okay."

After hearing the answer, Lin Subai turned around, took out clean clothes and pants from the bedroom, and then quickly returned to Yu Xi.

"Just change in this room! This is where you'll sleep tonight. I'll find some wooden planks and make a bed for you later.

I'm the only one living in this courtyard, so there are no extra beds. I'm not used to having other people touch my bed, so I'm sorry to bother you."

Yu Xi bowed her head and said to Lin Subai: "I am already very grateful for having a place to rest. I am also very used to using wooden boards. Farm girls don't have so many requirements."

"These clothes, pants, and underwear are all newly bought. Please change first! I'll be out first."

Lin Subai's words made Yu Xi's cheeks blush inexplicably, and she replied in a mosquito-like voice, "Okay."

Lin Subai left Yu Xi's room and returned to his bedroom. He changed his wet clothes, put them in the washing machine to wash, and then went to the kitchen to prepare cooking.

After Lin Subai left, Yu Xi looked at the clothes for a long time before changing them cautiously.

At this moment, she couldn't help but be thankful that her breasts developed slowly. Wearing this T-shirt that looked like a skirt, her breasts were flat and there was nothing unusual to see.

Although Yu Xi had no other thoughts about Lin Subai, it was her first time wearing a stranger's clothes, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Although she was still a little restrained, she could feel the warmth of her body and her heart was warmed as well.

Yu Xi picked up the wet clothes, walked out the door, and looked around, but didn't find any place to wash clothes.

Hearing the noise coming from the kitchen, she limped over and saw Lin Subai cutting vegetables. Yu Xi asked Lin Subai: "Where can I do the laundry?"

Lin Subai said: "The washing machine is washing my clothes now, when I'm done, you can throw them in there.

There is a basin for clothes outside, you can use the blue basin to store clothes!"

Lin Subai looked at Yu Xi holding the wet clothes, hesitated for a moment, and then said to her.

Yu Xi didn't notice anything wrong with Lin Subai. He thanked him and walked towards the blue basin that Lin Subai mentioned.

After putting away the clothes, she returned to the kitchen and saw Lin Subai preparing vegetables. She asked him if there was anything he needed her to do.

Lin Subai put the processed vegetables into the container and replied: "It's all done. There's nothing I can help you with. Go play outside for a while and we'll have dinner later."

Although Lin Subai asked her to leave the kitchen, Yu Xi did not obey and replied: "I will be alone if I go out, so it's fine for me to stay here with you."

Lin Subai looked up at her, but in the end said nothing and just continued with what he was doing.

"I'm going to make noodles tonight. Are you used to it?"

Lin Subai cracked the eggs into a bowl and asked Yu Xi.

Yu Xi said: "Drink some noodle soup at night, your body will be warmer."

"That's good. Are there any condiments that you should avoid? Like chili peppers or something like that."

Yu Xi said: "Clear soup will do. Have you peeled the garlic? If not, peel it for me."

Lin Subai said: "No need, just smash it with a knife later."

Lin Subai was very quick. In just a short while, he took the cooked noodles out of the pot, sprinkled some pepper and some light seasoning on them, and handed them to Yu Xi.

It was raining heavily outside, with lightning and thunder. They had been delayed for several hours, but the rain had not slowed down at all. It seemed that the situation would not be resolved until all the water from the sky was cleared out.

While eating noodles, Yu Xi was worried about the condition of the sky. He didn't know when the strong wind and heavy rain would end.

"Do you know where I can make a phone call around here?"

Lin Subai took a bite of the golden fried egg and ate it clean before replying: "I have a PHS, you can use my cell phone to contact me later."

Lin Subai did not ask Yu Xi what she wanted the phone for, but he understood at once that in this rainy weather, she must report her safety to her family.

"Thank you!"

Yu Xi felt like she owed Lin Subai more and more favors, and she had a feeling she could never repay them.

I am too weak to even say "thank you".

"Hurry and eat noodles!"

"it is good."

Yu Xi didn't say anything more and continued to work on the noodles in his bowl.

Lin is a very good cook. Not only does the noodles look good, but they also taste great, with a mellow texture and delicious flavor.

She admitted that her noodle-making skills were not even up to par in front of Lin's.

Lin Subai looked at Yu Xi, who was struggling to eat noodles with puffy cheeks like a little hamster. His mood inexplicably improved. It was nice to have someone to eat with him.

Lin Subai asked: "Do you always take a boat home during your monthly vacation?"

After Yu Xi finished the last mouthful of noodle soup, he replied: "It depends. Sometimes when the weather is good, I like to take a boat home. The green mountains and clear waters are very pleasant, and the price of taking a boat is much cheaper than taking a car.

But where we live, taking a boat is much more convenient than taking a car. After getting off the boat at Baitou, it only takes half an hour to walk home.

If I take the bus, I have to get off at the town square and walk nearly two hours to get home."

"It's quite convenient to go home by boat, why do you want to go back by car?"

Lin Subai didn't understand the reason. It seemed that the journey by car was longer than that by boat, so why did so many people still consider not taking the boat?

Yu Xi explained: "It can't be helped. The boat will take a day, but if we catch the bus early, we will be home before noon. We finally have a month off, and we are all eager to go home."

After listening to Yu Xi's explanation, Lin Subai suddenly realized: "So that's how it is."

"By the way, you guys are still taking extra classes in your senior year, why can you go home?"

Lin Subai looked at Yu Xi in confusion and asked, "Who told you that I'm a senior high school student?"

Yu Xi was a little confused. What did Lin mean by this?

"I saw you going in and out of the senior year classroom!"

Lin Subai explained: "That was when I went to tutor the senior high school students.

I had already finished my second and third year courses in high school, and thinking that it would be boring to stay in school, I decided to take the college entrance examination this year.

Our head teacher was pregnant and had limited energy. Seeing that I was an outstanding student, she asked me to find time to help with the subjects she taught in the senior year of high school.

That’s why you often see me in and out of the senior classroom.”

When Yu Xi heard that Lin Subai was going to take the college entrance examination this year, she felt a sense of loss.

I guess I’ll never see him again after he goes to college!

"That's only about a month away, aren't you nervous?"

Lin Subai was somewhat surprised by Yu Xi's question: "Why are you so nervous?"

"The college entrance examination determines part of your destiny. I see that everyone is under a lot of pressure, so when I saw you were doing it with ease, I couldn't help but ask you this."

Lin Subai was inexplicably amused by Yu Xi's words: "You are so honest.

What grade are you in?"

Yu Xi said: "I am in the third year of junior high school this year, and I will take the high school entrance exam in two months."

"Are you nervous then?"

Yu Xi said honestly: "I am very nervous. I am average in academics and have a poor aptitude for studying. Studying with books every day doesn't produce much results. Thinking that the high school entrance exam is only two months away, I feel very stressed."

Lin Subai had never met such an honest person. When he was reading junior high school textbooks, he thought they were very simple and he could understand the content of the book after reading it once. He didn't expect to meet a girl with poor talent for reading.

Unable to bear the distress and irritability on her face, he said to Yu Xi: "Bring the book here later, I'll help you look at it and sort out your thoughts."

Yu Xi was surprised when he heard this and nodded quickly.

Lin Subai looked at her well-behaved appearance with amusement. His palms suddenly felt itchy and he wanted to touch her head.

However, although Lin Subai had this idea in his mind, he did not put it into action. He just clenched his chopsticks and quickened his eating speed.

After finishing her meal, Yu Xi compared herself with Lin Subai's slow and leisurely way of eating noodles. She felt inexplicably ashamed of herself, thinking that the quick way she ate the noodles just now was a bit rude.

As soon as Lin Subai finished eating the noodles, Yu Xi rushed to clean the table and wash the dishes.

Lin Subai quickly took the cutlery in his hands and held it high so that Yu Xi couldn't get it. Then he said calmly:

"It's oily, so don't get your hands dirty. Take the clothes out of the washing machine and put them in a clean basin, then go wash your clothes."

Yu Xi insisted: "You have worked hard to cook, and if you can't wash the dishes, I will let you do it all."

Lin Subai patted Yu Xi's head gently with his free hand and said gently: "Be obedient."

When Yu Xi heard this gentle sound, it was like the sound of a spring, which brought her ears an ultimate enjoyment.

His face inexplicably turned red to his ears, and he just lowered his head slightly, not daring to move.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Lin Subai looked at Yu Xi's blushing ears, feeling embarrassed. He didn't dare to look at her again and turned around and left the scene quickly.

After seeing Lin Subai leave, Yu Xi took a deep breath and rubbed her cheeks with her hands.

He said to himself: "Yuxi, you are so useless. You blushed at such a simple sentence."

After calming down, Yu Xi limped away.

Arriving at the laundry room, Yu Xi took out Lin Subai's washed clothes, found a clothes hanger to hang them up, and then used the washing machine to wash her own clothes.

Lin Subai cleaned up the kitchen and came out. When he saw his clothes hanging under the eaves, he felt a sense of warmth in his heart. This was the atmosphere of life in the world.

Instead of putting on airs and observing etiquette every day, moving around in various banquets like a dummy.
