under the tower

Ji Xi felt that the roots of her teeth were shaking.

"What's wrong, your face is so red." Yan Yi quickly noticed Ji Xi's abnormality, stopped his hands, and asked with some uncertainty, "Does it hurt you?"

"...It's okay." Ji Xi held his breath, "It's a little stuffy."

There was a lot of steam in the bathroom, Yan nodded and opened the door, the outside wind broke in: "Is this better?"

Ji Xi closed her eyes hard: "It's much better."

Yan Yi was very skillful, and Ji Xi's hair was cut very quickly. He didn't cut Ji Xi's hair very short, but just trimmed the place where it grew out. After cutting Ji Xi's hair, he showed clean eyebrows. , he was already very good-looking, with exquisite facial features, but now he looked even more handsome, like a piece of carefully carved suet nephrite.

"It looks good." Ji Xi praised sincerely, "Yan Yi, you are so skilled that even a barber would not starve to death."

Yan Yi smiled, and then changed to Ji Xi.

"I'll wash my hair myself." Yan Yi said, "It's not inconvenient."

"No." Ji Xi insisted, "You washed it for me, and I will help you too."

"Okay." Yan Yi sat down on the bench without hesitation, and closed his eyes cooperatively.

Ji Xi held his head upright, slowly and carefully moistened it with hot water, then lathered it and scrubbed it.

He leaned down to stare at the man's drooping eyelashes, and his gaze slid down from the upper hairline until it landed on the man's tightly closed lips and protruding Adam's apple.

Ji Xi swallowed involuntarily, but fortunately Yan Yi closed his eyes and couldn't see.

His fingers ran through the hair and gently pressed the man's scalp, tracing the shape with the palm of his hand.

"...Okay." Ji Xi whispered, "Get up."

As soon as Yan opened his eyes, Ji Xi didn't back away, and still maintained a posture of watching him from top to bottom, and the two people's eyes completely crossed each other.

Yan Yi's pupils are completely different from Ji Xi's own, they are very pure black, his eyes are very bright, with an incomparably clear light, when Ji Xi looks into his eyes, a very apt description suddenly pops up in his heart ——

Like the Milky Way kissed by the moonlight.

The eyes of the two met for a moment, and Ji Xi threw the towel on his face, covering his eyes.

The next step is to shave the head.

There is no technical content in the size of the board, just push it all flat with a razor, the key is that Ji Xi must be steady.

He carefully supported Yan Yi's back of the head, squatted halfway behind Yan Yi, started from the back of the neck, and carefully shaved upwards little by little.

Because he was afraid of cutting Yan Yi lightly or seriously, Ji Xi almost held his breath, forcing himself to temporarily put aside all the messy thoughts in his head, and after shaving half of his head, Ji Xi let out a long sigh. tone.

This hairstyle fully exposed Yanyi's head shape, the back of his head was full and round.

In the hairline near the top of the head, there is a faint beige scar, which is usually not visible at all.

Ji Xi reached out and touched it curiously: "Yan Yi." He asked, "Why do you have a scar on the back of your head?"

"Huh?" Yan Yi looked blank, "Really?"

"Yes." Ji Xi's fingertips moved back and forth along the scar, "It's quite long, about this wide, it feels like a long time, don't you remember it yourself?"

"Maybe it was bumped sometime." Yan Yi said indifferently, "I used to bump into bumps a lot, but I don't remember any of them."

"Why don't you even remember where you were injured?" Ji Xi still touched the scar, it was also out of some strange impulse or subconscious instinct, he made a move that he didn't even think of.

Ji Xi encircled Yan Yi's head, stood up from a half-squatting position, bent down, and lightly touched the scar with his lips.

From Yan Yi's perspective, he could only see Ji Xi approaching from the mirror, and a warm and soft touch slid across the back of his head, as if being brushed by a petal blown by the wind.

He froze briefly.

Ji Xi quickly came back to his senses, he turned around and walked in front of Yan Yi, just now Yan Yi was sitting on a chair at the right height when he helped him cut, but when it came to Ji Xi, it was troublesome, he sat too low on the chair , standing too high, can only half-bend up and down, very strenuous.

When he got to the front, Ji Xi could only bend his back, half-twist his waist, and leaned over in a twisted way.

"Hey, this posture is so tiring." Ji Xi showed distress, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He held Yan Yi's shoulder with one hand, spread his legs, and sat on Yan Yi's lap.

Yan Yi almost fell off the bench: "..."

Ji Xi adjusted his posture by himself, and the legs of the two of them were tightly pressed together, and he said with satisfaction: "That's enough."

Yan Yi raised his hand to support Ji Xi's waist to prevent him from accidentally falling.

Ji Xi straddled Yan Yi with his legs apart, hugged Yan Yi's head from the front, and pushed the razor bit by bit.

After trimming all the fine hair, the man's handsome face is fully revealed in front of his eyes, with bright eyebrows and starry eyes.

Ji Xi was really amazed.

Yan Yi is surprisingly suitable for this hairstyle, which is all due to the man's extremely outstanding bones, every inch is like a human body sculpture that has been accurately measured.

They were very close, breathing intertwined. Ji Xi held Yan Yi's face in his hand, and stroked the man's raised eyebrows, deep eye sockets, and high nose bridge one by one. A masterpiece of my own making.

Yan Yi was tickled by him, and couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing?"

"Look at you handsome, the size of the board suits you very well." Ji Xi said, her long eyelashes fanned one by one, and the air she exhaled scratched Yan Yi's face like little claws, "Don't be stingy, you won't let it go if you touch it ?”

Yan was stunned for a moment: "...well."

There was a sudden silence in the air.

"Don't look, I don't have any flowers on my face." After a long while, Yan Yi said dully, pushing the person on him away, but he didn't use much force in his hands, afraid that Ji Xi would fall, "Okay, okay, I'll sweep Get down."

Ji Xi let go of her hands, got up from Yan Yi, stepped back and stood by the door.

He kept staring at the man's tall and busy back, and the scene of the boy in the white low-neck sweater lying softly and bonelessly on him to seduce him flashed before his eyes again. Yan Yi's handsome and low eyebrows intertwined with it, like two A recurring silent film.

It took him a day to clean up his mood, and finally at this moment, the clouds and fog cleared and became extremely clear.

It turns out that in this regard, I am also self-taught.Ji Xi thought so.

That's right.He whispered in his heart——

I just wanted to seduce him.

The next day, Ji Xi went to "Yu Ge Groceries" to report on time.

Yu Chengyuan had been waiting in the shop for a long time, and he was smoking a cigarette at the door of the shop.

"Morning." Yu Chengyuan greeted him, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"I promised you that I will come to work." Ji Xi said, "Why do you think so?"

Yu Chengyuan smiled and said nothing: "Go upstairs."

Ji Xi came to the second floor and followed Yu Chengyuan's instructions to check the rooms one by one. Because the place was too small, all these children were lying on the bed obediently. event space.

"You can get to know them first." Yu Chengyuan handed a blank paper full of words to Ji Xi, "Here are the names of each of them, and the corresponding bed numbers."

Ji Xi took it.

"They need to clean up their excrement once a day, otherwise it will be too smelly." Yu Chengyuan said, "You can do this before you get off work, empty their spittoons into the bucket behind the yard, and leave the rest alone. There is a garbage truck to collect."

Ji Xi reluctantly nodded with a disheveled face.

"I knew you would react like this." Yu Chengyuan smiled gloatingly, "So I didn't tell you yesterday. But since you're here, you have to bite the bullet and continue."

"..." Ji Xi felt sincerely in his heart, it is really not easy to make some money.

"Then I'm going to buy some goods, and I'll be back in about half an hour." Yu Chengyuan continued, "You go to each room first to find out their situation. Then when I come back, I will teach you how to make lunch, and from now on You are in charge."

Ji Xi resisted the resignation and opened the first door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the four children got up and stared at him with blinking eyes, like a small animal seeing a stranger, with vigilance and a little uneasiness in their eyes.

They didn't speak, they just stared at Ji Xi.

"..." Ji Xi himself was a little dazed, he pretended to clear his throat, and tightly squeezed the paper that Yu Chengyuan left him, "...Who is Chen Lin?"

A boy whose bed was on the lower bunk next to the door raised his hand timidly.

Ji Xi started with a stupid question: "...did you sleep well last night?"

The boy nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Oh, okay." Ji Xi ticked off his name, matching his face with his name.

He asked again, "Is there any discomfort in your body?"

The boy shook his head.

"Okay." Ji Xi said dully, "Then the next one... Xie Yun..."

Just walking down in a circle, Ji Xi felt exhausted.

Affected by his growing environment, he didn't have many opportunities to interact with others. He didn't know how to get along with these children who were almost ten years younger than him. He was obviously the adult who came to work, but he was younger than those children. nervous.

Fortunately, Yu Chengyuan had already returned. He rode a tattered tricycle and brought back two large boxes, which were filled with wholesale fruits and vegetables, rice and miscellaneous grains.

"How?" He asked casually while moving things.

"Everything is normal." Ji Xi said, "I asked them all, and they are all fine."

"That's fine." Yu Chengyuan said, instructing Ji Xi, "Move up, let's go to the third floor."

Ji Xi carried a box of pumpkin, celery and flour and followed behind Yu Chengyuan.

When I reached the third floor, I saw several huge pots lined up in the middle of the kitchen where the entrance was.

Ji Xi suddenly realized that his arduous task was still to come.

"Including the two of us, there are a total of 26 mouths." Yu Chengyuan said, "My cooking place has to be bigger."

At home, Ji Xi had to rely on Yan to teach him how to use a microwave oven, and he didn't know anything else. Now that he has to cook for so many people, Ji Xi is sluggish.

This is probably too difficult...

"Could it be that you don't know how to cook?" Yu Chengyuan asked in an indescribable tone probably seeing Ji Xi's expression was too shocked, "Then how did you grow up to be so big?"

Ji Xi couldn't tell him that for the past 20 years, he had been served by his servant's clothes, his hands, and his mouth.

He had no choice but to remain silent, bowing his head like a student punished to stand.

"Okay." Yu Chengyuan sighed, "It's not difficult, just follow me, and I'll show you a demonstration."

Ji Xi watched as Yu Chengyuan turned on the gas, poured a large bag of flour into the pot, then added water and some seasonings, then washed the vegetables, cut the pumpkin into chunks, shredded the carrots, and chopped the cabbage into slices , then throw it all in and stir.

Ji Xi watched helplessly as a lump of strangely colored unknown objects gradually formed in a cauldron, bubbling in the iron-black cauldron.

"...What is this?" Ji Xi felt shocked by Yu Chengyuan again, "Can it be eaten?"

The "not difficult" he said is really not difficult, but this "lunch" (if this can also be called "rice" instead of other pig food and cattle food), it is too hasty!

"Yes. You can go outside and have a look. It's good to have something to eat." Yu Chengyuan said naturally, "I don't have time to cook one by one, as long as it can fill my stomach."

Yu Chengyuan also poured the same ingredients into several other pots in the same way.

"That's it... have you learned it yet?"

Ji Xi nodded without saying a word.

"Over there, do you see the stacked rice plates on the shelf?" Yu Chengyuan pointed to the back, "Everyone give them some, and then take it down."

"Okay." Ji Xi said, he piled up dozens of stainless steel rice bowls from the drawer in the kitchen, and then took a big spoon to dig out a brown semi-liquid unknown object from the steaming cauldron, Put it in a basin.

To be honest... this thing looks... it really makes people not have much appetite...

Ji Xi's face turned pale, and he struggled resolutely: "Brother Yu, we... also eat this at noon?"

"Yes." Yu Chengyuan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Otherwise, what do you want to eat?"

Ji Xi: "..."

Ji Xifeng went downstairs with a plate in his hand, and then he witnessed the scene that ruined his worldview again.

Those children were probably very hungry. The moment they got the plate, they grabbed the semi-flowing unknown object on the plate and devoured it. In just a few minutes, they finished it in a whirlwind manner. The food residue was licked clean.

Ji Xi ushered in the next round of work directly after sending out all the "lunch" - he returned to Room 24 from Room [-], and recovered [-] dinner plates that were licked clean enough to reflect light one by one. .

Ji Xi carried the plates back to the third floor with an earthy face.

Yu Chengyuan sat alone at the table, holding a small spoon, digging up the lump bit by bit, and was still eating.

"Are you back?" He puffed his cheeks, "Let's leave it for a while before washing, you come and eat first."

Ji Xi put those plates into the water bucket, and forced out a sentence: "...I don't want to eat."

Yu Chengyuan looked strange: "How to say?"

"...just not hungry." Ji Xi said, "I'll keep working."

Yu Chengyuan asked amusedly: "Don't tell me you can't eat it? Are you disgusted?"
