Chapter 31
My mother hung up the phone, and Yu Zhile was still talking to herself to her cell phone.
"What? Soy sauce is right, there is oil, salt, and anything else to buy? Oh, shower gel, toothpaste... Well, I know, I will take it back later."
After talking to himself, Yu Zhile put away his cell phone.
Then he glanced at the convenience store of Xia Zhenyue's family, looking as if it was far away from the sky and was close to him.
"Hey, that's what happened! Auntie, you have oil, salt, soy sauce, shower gel and toothpaste at home. My mother just asked me to buy some, which just saves me from looking for it!"
"Some, some, auntie will give it to you."
Fang Ru pushed the wheelchair and was about to come to the shelf to get it. Yu Zhile quickly stopped her: "Auntie, I can do it myself!"
The small grocery store usually sells these daily necessities and some snacks, and Yu Zhile quickly found these products.
There are small labels on it, with their own prices written on it, and the handwriting is written by Xia Zhengyue.
He took out his cell phone and was about to scan the QR code at the counter.
"Zhile! No! These are not valuable things, just take them back. Thanks to you today for help."
Seeing that he was going to pay, Fang Ru hurriedly stopped him.
"Auntie, this is not enough to do business. One code is one code. If you give it to me for free, I will not dare to come to you next time."
“Then according to the purchase price…”
Before Fang Ru finished speaking, Yu Zhile had already calculated the price, scanned the code to pay, and the collection treasure also received a collection prompt.
He skillfully pulled two plastic bags from the counter to pack the things. Fang Ru was really embarrassed and took a pack of biscuits from the snack rack and stuffed them to him. This time Yu Zhile did not refuse again.
"Thank you aunt!"
"It's aunt, thank you..."
"Auntie, don't say that. I buy these things the same everywhere. I have to buy them all. You can buy them all here. So why do I have to go to other places? My aunt also gives me biscuits."
Fang Ru didn't understand, the young man was a good person.
“Meow~”
Xue Meier lazily lay on the counter, her beautiful big blue eyes looking at him.
"Little cat, Geji Geji--"
Yu Zhile reached out to touch Xue Meier's big head. Seeing that it took the initiative to expose its small belly, he scratched it a few more times.
The cat's soft body feels very comfortable to touch. Xue Meier is not afraid of him at all. She closes her eyes comfortably and enjoys his caressing.
Perhaps it is because it is old, with a little light tear mark on the corners of its eyes, and its snow-white hair has lost a lot of luster. It moves a little slowly, making it look quiet and calm. However, Xia Zhenyue still takes good care of it, and Xue Meier is clean.
When Yu Zhile didn't tease it, it lay quietly on the counter, looking at the people in the room with his beautiful blue eyes, or looking at the pedestrians walking outside, without knowing what he was thinking.
"Little cat, what do you think?"
Yu Zhile held a pen to tease it. It didn't pounce on it like a young kitten. It just gently raised its paws, held the pen down, and tried to give him some response.
“It’s so quiet.”
"Mei'er is old and has been raising her for ten years. When Xiaoyue was seven years old, she picked it up and got it home for so many years in the blink of an eye."
"Is it called Mei'er?"
"Xue Meier, Xiaoyue got her name."
"It sounds so nice. It's also very beautiful now. It's been kept for so long, just like my family."
"Yes, Mei'er is very smart. We usually understand what we say."
"It's so good. Is it a girl?"
Yu Zhile curiously picked up Xue Meier's tail and wanted to see its butt, so he got a cat punch.
Xue Meier was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so she got up from the counter, jumped to the chair first, and then to the ground. Her movements were not as agile as she was when she was young.
It walked to Fang Ru, jumped gently onto her lap, folded it in her arms, yawned, enjoying Fang Ru's caress, and quietly closed her eyes to sleep.
...
When Yu Zhile stood, his eyes turned around slightly, and the structure of the narrow room was basically visible.
"Auntie, did Xiaoyue sleep in this room?"
He pointed to the room to the east, and the door was not closed. He saw the desk in the room at a glance, the small lamp on the table and the pile of books.
"Yes, she usually lives in this room."
“Ohh.”
Yu Zhile did not enter her room, but just took a look outside the door. After all, the space was so big. Apart from the bed covered with a mat, there was not much other things, a floor-to-ceiling fan, a simple wardrobe, and a box filled with books under the bed.
Xia Zhenyue, who had been eavesdropping on the outside, was startled and thought Yu Zhile was about to go into her room to see it. She quickly turned around and happened to be right in front of his eyes.
As if it finally caught Yu Zhile's attention, Xia Zhengyue, who had been huddling in the kitchen, was caught. He said to Fang Ru: "Auntie, you have a rest first, I'll go to the kitchen to help!"
"No, no!"
Xia Zhenyue quickly turned her head and said she refused, revealing the fact that she had been eavesdropping.
Yu Zhile ignored her. She was 1.83 meters tall and forced herself into the narrow kitchen that could barely turn around.
It was not until this time that he truly felt the slightest feeling, because not only the space here was crowded, but also very hot. The old exhaust fan seemed to be useless at all. As soon as he came in, he felt that the temperature of the air was different.
When Xia Zhenyue was inside, he could only barely stand by the door.
"It's very hot, you just go outside and rest..."
Xia Zhenyue deliberately stood a little behind so that he would not have any extra space to squeeze in.
From behind her, you can see her slightly red face. I don’t know if it’s hot or shy. Occasionally, there will be a few crystal beads of sweat that slide down her cheeks. She raised her arms, touched her sleeves with her face sideways, and her neck was wet with sweat. A few strands of hair stuck to her skin, which made her look a different kind of beauty.
"How can that work? I'll tell you to learn how to cook."
Yu Zhilei squeezed in with a slutty face. The two of them were next to each other, their arms touching each other. Her skin was sweating slightly. When she touched his arm, she could feel a little cold.
Xia Zhenyue was speechless, so she had to try her best to hide on the other side and leave a larger space for him.
"It's really not necessary..."
"Are you going to wash fish? I will do this, I will, you go and prepare something else."
Yu Zhile took the tilapia in her hand and washed it by the pool.
Seeing that he said he could, Xia Zhengyue had to give it to him, and took a knife and cut the shredded ginger onions, and took out a small bowl to prepare the sauce.
"How to wash this fish? Is this OK?"
"...You have to wash the black layer in the fish's belly."
Yu Zhile washed the fish again and carefully washed off the dark things in his stomach. After washing a tilapia, he was already sweating.
"Yu Zhile..."
"Um?"
"Thank you for today's incident..."
"Have you thanked me already? It's not a big deal. I hate these people who are trying to deal with it the most."
"I mean, you can trust us..."
Xia Zhengyue looked back at him. Just like her, his forehead was sweating. He was washing another fish carefully, without paying attention to her gaze.
What moved her the most was not that Yu Zhile came out to maintain justice, but that he stood on her side almost without hesitation, whether it was right or wrong, whether it was green or blue or plain, he didn't care at all, and said, "She is my mother" and stood on her side directly.
It seemed as if she was hiding behind him and he supported her. At that moment, she felt like she wanted to cry.
"You are my friend. If you don't believe in you, who do you believe?"
He didn't look back, as if he was talking about something very normal, but it made Xia Zhengyue's nose sore.
"But it's a pity that I wasn't handsome enough just now. I didn't look like a poet, but I looked like a little scoundrel." He chuckled a little embarrassedly.
"No!"
Xia Zhengyue quickly denied his statement and whispered in a mosquito-like voice: "It's already very handsome..."
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything..."
"I seem to hear someone say I'm handsome?"
"You heard it wrong!"
Xia Zhenyue had a red face. She really couldn't praise him. She would go to heaven as soon as she praised her.
Yu Zhile washed the fish, put it on the plate, and then turned around and left the kitchen.
Xia Zhengyue felt a little disappointed, but the kitchen was really hot after all, so it was normal for him to not be able to bear it.
Just as I was thinking, there was a wind suddenly behind her, which brought coolness to her skin, blowing her hair and sticking to her face.
"You keep cooking, I'll learn from you."
Yu Zhile grinned and held a big palm fan in his hand to fan her. His own sweat flowed down his cheeks, and he just casually wiped his sleeves with his sleeves.
She turned around and stared at him blankly.
"Don't be stunned, you're moved again? Want to agree with me?"
"That's...that's not!"
This person really hates it!
