The next morning, Qiao Nian was woken up by rustling sounds in the room.

She turned over and rubbed her eyes, and then slowly raised her eyes to look in the direction of the bathroom. The voice came from inside, it should be Su Xiang washing up.

As soon as her thoughts fell, the movement in the bathroom immediately quieted down. Then, the door was opened, and a slim figure slowly walked out from there.

Her nightdress hadn't been changed yet, and her beautiful long curly hair was simply tied loosely with a light blue hair band, which seemed to be tied casually for the convenience of washing.

Qiao Nian's eyes fixed on the hair tie for a few seconds before moving away. It seemed that she gave it to Su Xiang when she went to Happy Valley last time, but she didn't expect that she would use it later.

Su Xiang walked slowly to the bed, leaned over and rubbed Qiao Nian's hair, and asked softly, "Did you wake me up?"

When she leaned over, the already deep V neckline slid a little further.

When Qiao Nian accidentally caught a glimpse of the scenery inside, her face turned red almost instantly.

She subconsciously turned her gaze away, and replied in a muffled voice: "Fortunately, I usually start at about this point."

Su Xiang raised his eyebrows lightly, slowly moved his fingertips on her head down, touched her rosy cheeks a few times, and then asked with a smile, "Why are you blushing?"

Qiao Nian's gaze fell on the dark curtain by the window, she never turned her head, and began to stammer: "I wake up like this every morning, you just don't know."

Su Xiang lowered his head and glanced at himself, then squeezed Qiao Nian's chin and turned her face away, with a half-smile: "What do you keep staring at the curtains when you're talking to me?"

"Is it because you are too shy to look at me?"

Qiao Nian opened his eyes wide, his gaze fell on Su Xiang's face in a daze, and he didn't dare to glance down at all.

Her cheeks puffed up slightly, and she began to forcibly hold her respect: "I don't dare to look at you, I just thought your curtains are pretty, so I took a second look."

After finishing speaking, I specially emphasized: "I am not afraid to look at you, nor am I shy, so don't think about it."

Su Xiang couldn't help laughing, she looked at someone's blushing face, although she didn't believe her words, she didn't tease her again, so as not to piss people off.

She agreed with Qiao Nian, then withdrew her hand and asked, "Do you want to get up and wash up now? Or lie down for a while?"

Qiao Nian straightened up from the bed as soon as she heard it, thinking that it would be better to go to the bathroom than to stay here and meet Su Xiang's eyes, so she said, "I'm going to wash up now."

Su Xiang smiled and stood up straight: "Okay, I'll wait for you to go downstairs for breakfast."

"Well, I'll come out as soon as possible." Qiao Nian got up quickly and rushed into the bathroom.

Su Xiang looked at her quickly disappearing back, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, she reached out to untie the hair band on her head, walked to the dressing table, bent over and opened the innermost drawer.

There are many kinds of small things hidden in the drawer. If Qiao Nian is here, she may recognize some of them as her favorite hair clips and earrings.

But maybe it won't be recognized... because it's been too long.

Su Xiang put the light blue hair tie in, and when he closed the drawer, he turned his wrist and pulled out a key from the keyhole.

She threw the key into another drawer, then looked up at herself in the mirror, stroked her fingers, and began to put on makeup.

She moved very quickly, and when Qiao Nian came out of the bathroom, she was almost melted.

Qiao Nian looked at Su Xiang who was putting on makeup, and blinked lightly: "Su Xiang, shall I go back to my room and change?"

Su Xiang put down the loose powder brush in his hand, and said lightly: "En."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian quietly curled her lips, and quickly ran back to the next room to change.

A few minutes later, the two went downstairs together.

When Aunt Zhang saw Qiao Nian who was going downstairs with Su Xiang, she was obviously taken aback for a moment, but she soon came back to her senses. After greeting Su Xiang, she smiled at Qiao Nianyang and said, "Miss Qiao is also here." ah."

"I'll prepare another breakfast, it will be ready in 2 minutes."

Qiao Nian rolled her eyes and smiled, "Thank you, Aunt Zhang."

Aunt Zhang said that you are welcome, then turned around and walked to the kitchen, and brought out another breakfast after a while.

It's a simple omelette, toast and a glass of milk.

Qiao Nian and Su Xiang had breakfast together, and when she went out with her, she didn't know if it was Qiao Nian's illusion, she always felt that Su Xiang's eyes often stayed on her.

But when she turned her head to look over, she saw Su Xiang staring straight ahead, not looking at her at all.

Qiao Nian suddenly fell silent, it seemed that she was thinking too much.

She kept silent and accompanied Su Xiang to the vicinity of the white car, and then slowly opened her lips: "Su Xiang, I'm going back too."

"Be careful on your way."

Su Xiang: "Yes."

She turned her head to look at Qiao Nian, her eyes paused for a moment on the light blue dress she was wearing, and then slowly raised the corners of her lips: "Qiao Nian, you look good today."

"Really?" Qiao Nian's voice was full of unstoppable joy after being praised for being beautiful.

Su Xiang: "Well, the skirt on your body is also very suitable for you."

Qiao Nian's eyes were slightly bent, she lowered her head and shook the corner of her skirt, then happily raised her eyes to look at Su Xiang: "Thank you."

After thanking you, I reacted slowly: "This skirt, it seems that you bought it before and put it in my cloakroom."

A smile overflowed from Su Xiang's lips: "Yes."

Qiao Nian's happy mood suddenly froze: "So, were you complimenting me or the dress just now?"

Su Xiang couldn't help but reached out and touched her gentle face: "I'm complimenting you, you look better."

Qiao Nian's mood suddenly became happy again, she raised the corners of her lips, and when she looked at Su Xiang, she couldn't help but compliment her generously: "You look good today too."

Su Xiang smiled, didn't say anything about it, but slowly withdrew his hand: "I'm going out, you go home and wait for me."

Qiao Nian hummed twice, bid farewell to Su Xiang and hurried back home.

Mother Qiao, who was sitting in the living room, was obviously surprised when she saw her coming in from the outside. She looked up at the time, and it was only 08:30.

"Did you get up so early today? Have you gone out yet?" Mother Qiao asked.

Qiao Nian paused, hesitated for a while, and finally chose the latter between telling the truth and lying along the way: "Well, I woke up early today, so I went for a walk."

Mother Qiao asked again, "Have you had breakfast?"

Seeing that Qiao's mother seemed to be asking her to have breakfast, Qiao Nian quickly replied, "I looked in the refrigerator for something to eat in the morning, and I'm not hungry now."

"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll go upstairs first?"

Qiao's mother was watching TV, and she didn't intend to chat with Qiao Nian, so she immediately responded, "Yes."

Qiao Nian seized the opportunity and quickly slipped upstairs, not knowing that after she went upstairs, Grandma Qiao and Grandpa Qiao, who were really out for a walk, came in from the door together.

As soon as they sat down, Mother Qiao immediately poured them a glass of boiled water.

Grandma Qiao drank a few sips of water, then raised her eyes to look around, but she didn't see another figure, she couldn't help wondering, "Nian Nian went upstairs so soon?"

Mother Qiao: "She's gone up, did you meet her when you were walking this morning?"

Grandma Qiao shook her head: "It's not counted as meeting her, I just saw her coming out of Su's house from a distance."

Qiao's mother was puzzled: "The Su family?"

Didn't Qiao Nian say that she went for a walk this morning, why did she come out of Su's house?

Grandma Qiao nodded: "Yes, don't you know?"

Mother Qiao frowned: "I only know now."

"Mom, don't you think Nian Nian and Su Xiang are getting too close?" Before they came back, it was fine to live in Su's house, why did they often go to Su's house after they came back?Don't even come back at night.

It's fine if you don't come back, what else are you going to lie to her for?

Grandma Qiao laughed, and said kindly: "What's the matter, the two of them have a good relationship, and it's okay if they get closer."

As soon as the words fell, Grandpa Qiao beside him expressed his opinion in a rare way: "It's normal for them to get closer."

Qiao's mother sighed helplessly: "I'm just worried that she will cause trouble for others."

When Grandma Qiao heard this, she didn't quite agree: "We Nian Nian are so sensible, what kind of trouble can we cause others, and I see that Su Xiang treats her very well, so don't think too much about it."

"Besides, let them handle their young affairs by themselves."

Qiao's mother reluctantly agreed, and said nothing more.

Upstairs, Qiao Nian walked directly to the work table after returning to the room. She glanced at the computer on the table, thinking of the unfinished painting yesterday, her eyes flickered a few times, and then she sat down in front of the computer table.

She planned to finish Su Xiang's painting as soon as possible, otherwise she would feel that there was something pressing in her heart all the time, which was overwhelming.

Qiao Nian's mobility has always been high, so she did it when she thought of it. She opened a certain drawing software on the computer, sketched an image of Su Xiang in her mind, and then started to move.

The brush on the screen kept flickering and changing, slowly outlining Su Xiang's outline and facial features on a white background.

She painted Su Xiang that she saw on the day she returned to China. She was wearing a red dress with high slits and suspenders. Her phoenix eyes were slightly sideways looking forward, and her long chestnut curly hair was spread out behind her smooth back.

Cool and expensive.

It wasn't until noon that Qiao Nian stopped. She turned her slightly sore wrist and looked at the portrait on the computer that had been preliminarily colored. Her eyes wandered, and she unconsciously settled on the red lips in the portrait.

She has always known that Su Xiang's lips are beautiful, but she never dared to keep her eyes on Su Xiang's lips for too long, but now she couldn't help staring at the portrait for a long time.

She suddenly remembered last night, the brief skin-to-skin contact between the two, and suddenly remembered that some time ago, those lips kissed her after drinking.

Although Qiao Nian suppressed that memory to the bottom of her heart, she vaguely remembered that Su Xiang's lips were cold and the tip of her tongue was hot...

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian's face couldn't help but heat up.

She raised her hands to both sides of her cheeks, fanning the wind gently, trying to cool down the temperature on her face.

I don't know how long it took before Qiao Nian slowly let go of her hands. She looked at the portrait on the computer screen, pursed her lips, and then tried her best to concentrate on painting and refine the details.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Qiao Nian finally clicked Save and sent the picture generated by the portrait to Su Xiang.

Qiao Nian: "The painting I promised you is finally finished."

At that time, Su Xiang's work had come to an end and he was not very busy. When he saw Qiao Nian's message, he couldn't help but click on it.

She clicked on the picture and zoomed in on it for a while before laughing slowly.

Su Xiang: "The painting is beautiful, I like it very much."

Qiao Nian: "You're welcome." Cute jpg.

Su Xiang smiled, and didn't reply in a hurry. Instead, he saved the impasto portrait first, and then clicked on the WeChat avatar to set the impasto painting as a new profile picture.

It's the WeChat avatar of her private account.

After changing the avatar, Su Xiang sent back a message to Qiao Nian: "It's also very nice to use as an avatar."

"Can Nian Nian help me print out this painting?"

When Qiao Nian received the message, she was taken aback when she saw Su Xiang's newly changed avatar, and then slowly replied to her after ten seconds.

"Okay, I'll print it out later and give it to you tonight."

Su Xiang: "Well, I'll look for you at night."

The two continued to chat for a while, and Qiao Nian wanted to go downstairs to drink water, so he temporarily ended the conversation.

At that time, Ji Xilan happened to have something to ask Su Xiang. When she clicked on the WeChat list and saw Su Xiang's new avatar, she couldn't help being surprised, and quickly opened the dialog box.

Ji Xilan: "This head portrait is yours, who drew it for you? It's pretty pretty."

Su Xiang stared at his own profile picture, with a faint smile on his lips, moved his fingertips lightly, and slowly typed two lines.

"It was drawn by my little boy."

"Draw it just for me."
