A Real Man Isn't Afraid Of A Little Demon

After Chi Duoduo fell asleep, Xie Xingmu closed the door and went to the living room.

The sound of the TV was very low, Yu Chu stared at the screen, and sat on the sofa, Xie Xingmu sat down on the sofa to his left, and watched the screen together.

Neither of them spoke, and they looked like they were watching TV seriously.

"...To choose good varieties of seed potatoes, generally choose potatoes with bright skin and healthy and no deformities, first carry out germination treatment, that is, put the selected seeds in moist sand with a thickness of about 10cm, place the seeds flat, and place them on top Cover with a layer of 5cm thick sifted sand..."

There was an inexplicable atmosphere in the air, which made Yu Chu feel inexplicably cramped, and also ignored that Xie Xingmu was also too quiet at this time.

A moment later, Xie Xingmu stood up and walked towards the kitchen. The moment Yu Chu got up, his eyes followed his figure, but when he looked sideways, he quickly looked away.

The sound of the refrigerator door opening and closing came from the kitchen. Xie Xingmu took a few cans of beer and walked towards the stairs, and asked in a casual tone, "Want to go up and get some wind? Have some beer by the way."

Yu Chu smiled at him and said, "Okay."

Xie Xingmu paused.

Yu Chu went up to the rooftop, and suddenly became a little cautious. Instead of lying sprawled on the long-haired carpet in the glass room looking at the sky, she leaned on the soft cushion, leaning sideways, with one hand under her head and the other Lay it over your leg.

His posture was lazy, inadvertently revealing a bit of coquettishness in his bones, Xie Xingmu glanced at him indifferently, raised his neck and took a big gulp of beer.

The two drank in silence, the glass door at the stairs on the roof was not closed, was slightly shaken by the night wind, and hit the wall lightly.Yu Chu looked at the door, hesitating whether to close it or not, but Xie Xingmu got up first and passed by, opened the door wide, and moved a small flower pot to block it.

"If Duoduo wakes up, he will look for me everywhere. With the door open, I can hear his voice." Xie Xingmu explained after coming back and sitting down.

Looking at this man's broad shoulders, Yu Chu suddenly felt that it was not easy for him.

Xie Xingmu went to get the beer on the table, and saw the sympathy in Yu Chu's eyes.He turned his head to look at the lights in the distance, turned the beer can in his hand, and said in a low voice after a while: "The day my sister and brother-in-law passed away, I felt that the whole world collapsed. When I heard his cry, I felt that I was still alive."

"Duoduo spent the most difficult days with me. Although I was raising him, he was also comforting me and gave me enough courage to endure. I feel guilty towards Duoduo because of work. , I have to put him with Uncle Chen often, so when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he will always look for uncle everywhere, for fear that I will go away again."

Xie Xingmu didn't continue to talk, but Yu Chu knew how difficult it was to raise a two-month-old baby alone, and the hardships and sufferings involved cannot be summed up in a few words.

This seemingly cold man actually has a delicate and soft heart.

Yu Chu was still drunk in the end. He put his hands behind his head and looked at the starry sky with misty eyes.

Because of the person next to him, he felt very peaceful and full of security. It was a feeling he had never had before growing up. He could lie down at ease without being distracted and pay attention to the things around him, and he was relaxed and comfortable.

This emotion lasted until he went downstairs, took clean pajamas to the bathroom to take a shower, but when he turned on the shower, no hot water came out.

After Xie Xingmu checked the water heater, he said, "A small part inside is broken. It will take more than half an hour for me to fix it now. Do you wait for me to fix it or go to the bathroom in the master bedroom to take a shower?"

Yu Chu smiled at him, touched the pajamas in his hand and said, "Then go wash in the bathroom of the master bedroom."

Xie Xingmu stared at his flushed face for two seconds, and said, "Use the shower instead of the bathtub."

He was afraid that if Yu Chu got drunk, something would happen if he soaked in the bathtub.

"Yes." Yu Chu obediently agreed.

As a result, he entered the bathroom of the master bedroom and saw the bathtub that was as big as a boat. He forgot what he had promised, and while running the water, he quickly took off his clothes and lay down in the bathtub.

When the hot water overflowed his chest, he couldn't help but let out a comfortable sigh.

He lay down with his eyes closed, his mind was empty, he didn't know if he was too relaxed, or the hot air evaporated the smell of wine, and he fell asleep unknowingly.

After Xie Xingmu repaired the main guard's water heater, he sat on the sofa in the living room for a while, but Yu Chu hadn't finished taking a shower yet.

After hesitating again and again, he got up and knocked on the door of the master bedroom. He knocked several times, but he didn't hear any movement inside.

"Yu Chu, Yu Chu."

Hearing no response, Xie Xingmu had a bad premonition, stopped knocking on the door, and turned the doorknob to rush in.

He pushed open the frosted glass door of the bathroom, paused in his footsteps, and saw Yu Chu soaking in the water with his eyes closed, looking unconscious.

"Yu Chu, Yu Chu."

Xie Xingmu stood at the door and yelled twice, Yu Chu didn't move, he didn't care too much, he rushed up quickly, stretched out his hand to touch Yu Chu's nose, and then lifted him up from the water with a splash, not caring The upper water flowed down, rushing all the way to the bedroom, and put the person on the bed.

"Yu Chu, how are you?"

Xie Xingmu asked sharply, stretched out his hand to pat Yu Chu's face, and then bent over to do artificial respiration.

Just when their lips were about to touch, Yu Chu, who had been seemingly unconscious all this time, suddenly opened his eyelashes with trembling eyelashes.

He looked at the face close at hand with his eyes dimly, adjusted the focus, and gave a soft click after recognizing Xie Xingmu clearly.

Xie Xingmu paused his downward movement, just hung above his head, stared at him motionlessly, and then asked in a very soft voice: "Are you okay?"

Yu Chu blinked, then blinked again, and said, "I'm fine."

"Are you unconscious?"

Yu Chu thought about it for a while: "I should have fallen asleep."

The two looked at each other like this until Xie Xingmu straightened up and pulled the quilt beside him to cover him.Only then did he find himself lying on the bed with nothing on.

Xie Xingmu turned around and walked to the bathroom, "I'm going to get the bath towel."

Yu Chu stared at his back, feeling that his back seemed to be straighter than usual.

Xie Xingmu brought a bath towel, and when he handed it to Yu Chu, he subconsciously asked, "Do you want me to dry it for you?"

He habitually used what he said to Duoduo, and he realized something was wrong as soon as he uttered it, and was about to make up for it, when Yu Chu smiled sweetly at him: "Okay."

Without waiting for Xie Xingmu's reaction, Yu Chu lifted half of the quilt and sat up.

The fair skin with drops of water, the slightly thin shoulders and back, and the downward undulations were all displayed in Xie Xingmu's eyes.

"Dry your hair for me." Yu Chu tilted her head at him.

The wet hair was drooping on the forehead, revealing the moist eyes. It was obviously an expression of ignorance of the world, but it carried an indescribable temptation.

Xie Xingmu glanced at him, then quickly turned his head to look in other directions, and when he turned back, his expression was calm and unwavering.

He covered Yu Chu's head with a bath towel and rubbed it slowly. When the water stopped dripping, he spread it over Yu Chu's shoulders and said, "Go back to your room and get dressed."

The voice didn't seem to be unusual, but it was a little hoarse.

After he finished speaking, he turned and went into the bathroom. A few seconds later, there was the sound of splashing water from the shower head.

Yu Chu stared at the frosted glass door, finally got up and wrapped the bath towel, a little drunk, and walked back to her room with slightly unsteady steps.

When Yu Chu woke up the next day, when he opened his eyes, Chi Duoduo's magnified face was in front of him again.But he was already mentally prepared and only blinked.

"Xiao Chu, you're awake. You've been asleep for a long time. I came in to see you several times but didn't wake up. Uncle won't let me wake you up, so I can only keep coming in to watch." Chi Duoduo was very happy to see Yu Chu woke up. .

Yu Chu picked up the mobile phone beside the bed and looked at it, and found that it was almost noon, so she asked, "Aren't you going to kindergarten?"

"Today is Saturday." Chi Duoduo stretched out his hand to drag Yu Chu, "Xiao Chu, get up quickly, uncle said to take us out to play."

While talking, the door was pushed open, Xie Xingmu stood at the door and said, "Are you awake? Get up when you wake up, let's go out."

Chi Duoduo has already opened the door of the cloakroom, looking for clothes for Yu Chu attentively, took out a T-shirt and carried it to the bed, excitedly said: "Xiao Chu, you wear this, we wear the same one."

He was wearing a blue T-shirt today, with a brown dog on his chest. Yu Chu didn't expect that among the pile of clothes Xie Xingmu bought for him before, there was one that was exactly like this one, and Chi Duoduo happily hugged it come over.

"No, I won't wear this." Yu Chu rejected him indifferently, and was about to get up after throwing off the quilt.

Then I saw the bright eyes of the little boy dimmed for an instant, covered with a deep layer of disappointment.

"I don't wear this suit." Out of a subtle sense of guilt, he rarely explained.

Chi Duoduo held the T-shirt in his arms, walked to the cloakroom dejectedly, and whispered, "Then I'll go and choose another one for you."

Looking at his frustrated back, Yu Chu suddenly blurted out: "Then I'll wear that one."

He regretted it as soon as he said this, he didn't want to wear that kind of childish clothes to go outside, but Chi Duoduo had already rushed towards him cheering, "Xiao Chu, come on, I'll wear it for you, we wear the same, okay, Ha ha ha ha."

Yu Chu also swallowed those repentant words.

Xie Xingmu was carrying a watering can to water the flowers on the balcony, when he heard the movement, he turned his head and his eyes fell on Yu Chu.

Yu Chu deliberately pretended not to care, but added proudly when passing the balcony, "Chi Duoduo forced me to wear it."

"That's right, it's pretty good-looking." Xie Xingmu said behind him.

Yu Chu pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

The three of them went out, and when the car drove out of the parking lot, Chi Duoduo writhed in the child seat and asked, "Uncle, what are we going to eat?"

Xie Xingmu turned his head and asked Yu Chu, the co-driver, "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." Yu Chu said.

"Okay, let's eat whatever you want."

There are seafood restaurants everywhere in Haiyun City, Xie Xingmu chose a restaurant with a good reputation and ordered some seafood.After all kinds of seafood are on the table, put on your gloves and start peeling the shrimp.

"Can you peel shrimp?" he asked Yu Chu.

Although Yu Chu grew up on the island, there are so many servants serving him, but maybe he has never peeled shrimp by himself.

But Yu Chu said, "Yes."

In fact, he rarely ate shrimp in the original world, and he never peeled it.

Chi Duoduo's mouth was about to touch the shrimp, and he kept saying, "Uncle, hurry up, hurry up."

Xie Xingmu poked the shrimp skillfully, and threw it into Chi Duoduo's small plate.

Yu Chu also started to peel the shrimp, but he didn't expect this thing to be so troublesome. He peeled it for a long time before getting out the white shrimp, but it disappeared after he stuffed it into his mouth.

"Didn't you go to the shrimp line?" Xie Xingmu asked suddenly.

"What?" Yu Chu looked blank.

Xie Xingmu pinched his cheeks, put his other hand around his mouth, and said, "Spit it out."

"Why?" Yu Chu asked vaguely.

"Spit it out."

He had pinched Yu Chu's cheeks like this a few times. Before, it was okay to say that it was all done in private, but this time it was in a restaurant, surrounded by people. He suddenly got a little angry, and turned his head to break his mouth out.

Seeing that he didn't vomit, Xie Xingmu simply put his fingers into his mouth and picked out the shrimp that hadn't been chewed.

"This kind of restaurant won't spend effort to line the shrimp. Next time I take you to a high-end restaurant, you don't have to do it yourself."

Xie Xingmu ignored Yu Chu's anger, took off the disposable gloves on his hands, and threw them into the trash can together with the shrimp.

Yu Chu immediately wanted to throw his chopsticks on the table, but Chi Duoduo just in time handed him a glass of Coca-Cola, and comforted him so intimately that he suppressed his anger, and picked up another shrimp with a sullen face.

But the shrimp was slippery, and he couldn't peel it off. After a few strokes, he threw the shrimp into the trash can next to him and said angrily, "I won't eat it."

A peeled shrimp suddenly appeared on the small plate in front of him, and Xie Xingmu said with a somewhat smiling voice: "I'll peel it for you, and you are responsible for eating it. You didn't eat breakfast, and you can't skip lunch."

Yu Chu glanced at the shrimp, then raised his chin and looked out the window.

Xie Xingmu knew that he had annoyed him by taking the shrimp out of his mouth just now, so he picked up the shrimp from the plate, dipped it in the seasoning and fed it to his mouth, softly said: "Open your mouth, ah..."

His tone seemed to be coaxing a child, and Chi Duoduo also opened his mouth on the other side.

Yu Chu didn't want to talk to him at first, but seeing Chi Duoduo's appearance, he opened his mouth fiercely and bit off the shrimp.

For the rest of the time, Xie Xingmu didn't eat much by himself, so he peeled shrimps and crabs for the two of them, fed one and then served the other, until they were full, then he hurriedly planed a bowl of rice and called the waiter to pay the bill .

There were still some dishes left on the table, Yu Chu asked the waiter to pack them, Xie Xingmu thought that he would play outside in the afternoon, and he didn’t necessarily have to go home to eat, so he wanted to say no, but seeing that the waiter had already packed them in the lunch box quickly, He didn't say anything more.

When the three of them left the restaurant, Yu Chu picked up the plastic bag containing the lunch box, walked to the trash can aside, and put it on the lid.

Xie Xingmu was startled, not quite understanding his behavior of throwing away since he wanted to pack it, so he asked, "What are you doing on top of the trash can?"

"Leave it for others to pick it up and eat it." Yu Chu replied naturally.

When he was a child, he would go to the trash can, but a lot of food was already dirty. When he grew up, he got into the habit of wrapping the unfinished food and putting it on the trash can lid.

Xie Xingmu seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound, he just squeezed his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

According to Chi Duoduo's strong request, he went to the playground in the afternoon, but Chi Duoduo only dared to ride the merry-go-round, or the kind of small train that travels on flat ground.

Yu Chu hadn't played these before, and stared at the roller coaster and the big pendulum curiously. Hearing the heart-piercing howls of the tourists, he pursed his lips and smiled.

When Chi Duoduo entered the children's area and was playing with bubble balls under the supervision of the staff, Xie Xingmu asked Yu Chu, "Want to try it?"

"What?" Yu Chu was still looking at the roller coaster in the distance.

His original world also had such entertainment facilities. When he was a child, he often climbed to the outer wall of the amusement park to look inside. Although he could only see the part where the roller coaster flew over the peak, he still found it very interesting. He thought it would be great if he could play it once.

But when they grow up, these dreams are no longer dreams, they only exist in distant memories, and they will no longer be of interest.

"Want to try the roller coaster?" Xie Xingmu asked.

Yu Chu shook her head quickly: "I don't want to."

It's okay to see, if you go up by yourself, it's fine.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xingmu trotted to the fence, gave some instructions to Chi Duoduo, and explained to the staff, then put his arm around his shoulders and walked towards the roller coaster.

"I won't go, I won't go." While resisting, Yu Chu couldn't help but follow Xie Xingmu, and soon arrived there, behind the waiting people.

"Don't be afraid, I will accompany you." Xie Xingmu whispered in his ear.

Yu Chu wanted to struggle at first, but suddenly became quiet.

They were soon lined up, and the two sat side by side. Xie Xingmu fastened Yu Chu's safety bar, fastened his seat belt, and firmly grasped his hand the moment the roller coaster started.

When the roller coaster was crawling, Xie Xingmu held his whole hand in his palm at first, and then forcefully separated his fingers, clasping them tightly.

At this time, Yu Chu's attention was all on that hand, and she even forgot her fear for a moment. A warm feeling spread all the way along her arm, as if even her heart felt the heat.

Until the roller coaster descended rapidly from the top, he was swept away by the sudden sense of weightlessness, but Xie Xingmu held his hand tightly and did not let go, firm and safe, which made him no longer so frightened.

With the whistling wind and other people's screams beside her ears, Yu Chu suddenly had a thought in the tumbling world:

I must let this person stay by my side forever.
