Chu Huai calmed down, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was calmly holding her steady before letting go of his hand.
"Don't fall," he said.
She bewilderedly took the toothbrush he had filled with toothpaste, held it in her mouth and brushed it slowly.
With his help, Qingyao washed up, soaked her feet in hot water, and then followed him back to the room drowsily.
"Would you like to change clothes and sleep?" He brought her a set of his pajamas.
Qingyao took it and held it in her arms, and suddenly called out: "Brother, Brother Huai'an."
The voice is soft and waxy.
Chu Huaian was startled and met her eyes.
Her watery eyes were like mist, soft and weak, aggrieved.
His fingers curled up and he stretched out to gently caress her beautiful chin, his eyes dark.
After a long while, he whispered: "It's already very late, go to sleep."
Qingyao hummed, climbed onto the bed with her pajamas in her arms, and turned around to look at him.
Chu Huaian adjusted the night light for her and left.
It's quiet at night.
Chu Huaian stood in the corner of the balcony and lit a cigarette. He took a few puffs and finally finished the cigarette.
I had inexplicable insomnia, and it was useless to drink. I just wanted to satisfy my craving for cigarettes and stay awake at the same time.
After a while, the last wisp of smoke in his lungs lingered on his lips for a while and disappeared. He stuffed the remaining cigarette butt between his fingers into the soil of the flowerpot.
After walking into the bathroom to brush his teeth and rinse his mouth, he was about to move towards the smart toilet when the bathroom door slammed open. Qingyao rushed over and pushed him aside, causing him to vomit in the toilet.
Chu Huaian's expression cracked for a moment, and he quickly arranged his clothes with quick eyes and hands.
Qingyao vomited in confusion, panting and finally stood up.
"Huai, Brother Huai'an?" she said hesitantly, still not quite sober.
Chu Huaian's pajamas were worn on her, like a child sneaking into an adult's clothes. The sleeves were too long, completely hiding her two hands inside, leaving a large section folded, which could be used as sleeves.
He had the foresight to not give her the matching trousers, but to find shorts for him to wear separately, otherwise she would have to drag them to the floor.
"There is also a bathroom in the room." He reminded.
"Oh." She looked at him blankly.
"Brother Huai'an, what are you doing?" She was still drunk and her words were very sluggish.
Allen Chu looked at her for a few seconds, "I was shushing you before you came in."
Her: "Oh!"
He asked: "Are you feeling better after vomiting?"
Her: "Yeah."
"Then you go outside and wait for me."
Her: "Yeah."
Qingyao staggered out and couldn't help but look back at him.
Chu Huaian closed the door again.
He stretched his feet to the sensing area of the smart toilet. Amidst the sound of water, it took him a while to regain his feeling...
Opening the door and going out, he saw Qingyao still waiting there obediently.
Chu Huaian took her over and poured her a glass of water. She was vomiting violently just now, so he thought she should add some water.
She reluctantly opened her eyes and drank some water. The water glass was still in her hand, but her head was already pecking at the rice.
Chu Huaian stretched out his hand, she pecked her head, and placed her small chin on his palm.
He couldn't help but his eyes darkened a bit, and his gaze stayed on her pink lips for a long time.
In the end, he took the water glass for her and put it aside, picked her up and walked towards the room.
…
The next day Qingyao woke up under a bright daylight.
The bedroom was large, and the curtains were not closed before going to bed, so the room was filled with daylight.
Qingyao was lying on the soft bed that smelled like an adult man, with a dazed expression on her face.
Then my heart starts to speed up and my face gets hot.
She still remembered everything about last night, and through recall, it became clearer and clearer.
Ah! She pulled the quilt over her head and wanted to scream silently, but suddenly she was choked by Chu Huaian's breath left in the quilt.
After a long time, she finally walked out to the living room and changed back into her clothes from yesterday.
Chu Huaian was sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, with his laptop on the coffee table.
As soon as she came over, he turned his gaze away from the window and turned to her.
He stared at her and asked, "Are you up? Do you have a headache?"
She raised her hand to touch her head uncomfortably, then forced herself to calm down and said, "It's okay."
At this time, Chu Huaian had already stood up and walked towards her, observing her carefully, with a smile on his lips, "Do you know what time it is now? I can only go to have afternoon tea."
Her eyes evaded, "Oh."
But after thinking about it, she said, "I'm almost back to school."
"I'll take you back after eating." He made the decision for her, reaching out to hold her shoulders, "Let's go."
She felt her body tense up.
I was drunk last night, dull and indulgent, but now I am sober and suddenly very sensitive.
Chu Huaian glanced at her imperceptibly.
On the way to eat, Qingyao suddenly found her phone flashing.
