Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

Chapter 49:

When he came home with An Zhi on his back, Yan Xi was too tired to speak, so he took a short rest before going to eat, and An Zhi also ate some with him.

When Yan Xi was tired, his voice was also a little hoarse, but still very gentle. She seemed to lighten up the subject, saying that she seemed to have neglected her exercise, and that she would at least regain her long-distance running habit. He told her to drink porridge and take medicine. Said that if she usually catches a cold, she doesn’t want to send her to the hospital, but she has a fever, especially when she will take the senior high school entrance examination in two days. Also said something else.

An Zhi looked at her and thought to herself that she had never seen her in such a state of anger. She was always calm and calm when encountering things, always coming up with a solution as soon as possible. An Zhi knew from the time she was allergic to fat when she was a child that she would be busy, tired, and feel that she was not doing well enough, but she would not complain and blame others.

“Is the car lost? I’ll buy it for you again?”

She will respect other people’s opinions and take care of other people’s emotions.

An Zhi shook his head. I don’t know if it was a time when she was too wandering and unstable in her childhood, but An Zhi always had a big obsession with what belonged to her. Very nostalgic. Many things, if you want one, you will not be greedy for another.

“Okay… don’t think about this for now, let’s go to sleep.”

Yan Xi will not question her, always considerate. Then she let her go to sleep.

An Zhi was lying on the bed and suddenly thought that Yan Xi was not in a hurry. That was the first time she ran away from the old house, outside the convenience store. At that time, she was young and confined to her own emotions. Looking back now, Yan Xi was anxious at that time.

And when she was in fourth grade, when she skipped class and didn’t go home on time, Yan Xi was anxious. And yesterday, that powerful embrace before fainting, Yan Xi’s breath was indeed flustered.

While An Zhi kept chewing on memories, Mo Dian tasted a little sweetness.

And there is…

Recently, An Zhi often thinks of the kiss on the forehead when she was more than nine years old. Yan Xi’s physical closeness is limited to her arms, unlike Liu Yiyi who has stayed abroad, nor like Aunt Xiao and Grandma Xin, nor like Yang Mengmeng, who will hug someone when she is happy.

When I was a child, I saw fat and fat people kissing my aunt many times, but they were all pushed away by her. Liu Yiyi sometimes jokes about kissing her, but she can only take advantage of her unpreparedness.

An Zhi remembered that she was worried about her height at that time, sitting on Yan Xi’s lap, she was comforting her, she said that it didn’t matter if she didn’t grow taller so quickly, she wanted to hug her for a few more years, and then her forehead gently touched her. Touched by something very soft.

Soon enough, he thought it was a hallucination.

Only that time, never again. After a long time, An Zhidu doubted whether there was a deviation in memory, but still stubbornly determined that this happened.

Yan Xi fills in the love she needs to be raised by women. In others, she was “mother”, but An Zhi refused to put those words on Yan Xi, and she was even happier that Yan Xi didn’t seem to mean that.

She always said: “Grow up by my side”, “Stay by my side”, “This is your home”. There has never been any request for Anzhi.

It seemed that as long as she was there, An Zhi didn’t need to care about anything, don’t pay attention, she would protect her and be by her side no matter what.

An Zhi turned over and scratched the lace of the pillowcase with his fingers. Her bed was placed against the wall, she fell asleep facing the wall, curled up slightly, touched the sweet part of her heart, half-held her fingers, and closed her eyes with confidence as if she was holding something with a substantial shape.

Sure enough, a dreamless night. slept very sweetly.

When I woke up, it was already very bright, and the sun was shining brightly.

An Zhi rubbed his eyes and got up, stretched. The whole body is much more comfortable, it should be completely better. After washing her face, she came out of the living room.

There are two walls of bookshelves in the living room, one wall is shrouded in sunlight and the other is dark.

An Zhi walked over to the balcony. The door was half open, and Yan Xi was half bending over to water the flowers.

She was busy with work and An Zhi also had to go to school, so they chose gardenia and jasmine, which were the easiest to grow. In May, jasmine blooms first, and gardenias have blue buds. In June, two kinds of white fragrant flowers bloom together, and a balcony is fragrant and warm.

Every summer evening, in the living room on the second floor, the cool breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers overflows, and even the books on the two walls are favored.

Gardenia is Yan Xi’s mother’s favorite flower. An Zhi knows that Yan Xi and her mother who died early have little memory, so she grows gardenia, and even her perfume is all of the gardenia family. Variety.

This fragrance is the intimate connection between Yan Xi and her mother, and when she was very young, Yan Xi told her that she didn’t even mind using Anzhi.

Yan Xi’s spirit recovered very well. She must have just washed her hair, and her long black and slightly curly hair was draped behind her, shiny and wet.

She is on the phone.

“No, thank you for calling… Yes, I want to ask for leave, the child is not feeling well…”

“Yes, she is in the third year of junior high… Yes, I said it at the last meal.”

“Is that okay? … Well, thank you. Helped me a lot, thank you.”

An Zhi walked over, Yan Xi saw her and smiled at her.

“Wake up?? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?” Yan Xi put down the phone, behind the slightly swaying flowers, she smiled at her.

An Zhi shook his head.

“Then let’s have breakfast and take the temperature later.”

“Prepare everything for the exam today, the admission ticket, 2B pencils, a few extra gel pens, and manuscript paper…”

“I’m all ready.”

“Okay, let’s have breakfast first and check it out for me later.”

Breakfast is millet mung bean porridge cooked by Grandma Liu, fried dough sticks, and pickles made by herself. After Grandma Liu made breakfast, she went to the vegetable market early to prepare the ingredients for the next few days.

“I asked for a week’s leave, and I’ll pick you up during the exam.” Yan Xi said to her.

An Zhi was pleasantly surprised, but a little worried and asked, “Is it okay to take so long?”

Yan Xi smiled and shook his head: “A friend helped, I will invite him to dinner and thank him.”

After breakfast, they cleaned up, Yan Xi didn’t intend to let An Zhi do it, but An Zhi slept for a long time yesterday and wanted to move. Yan Xi asked her to go to the living room to do some simple cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, and she washed dishes in the kitchen.

After a while, Yan Xi finished washing the dishes, and went to the living room to help. She walked behind An Zhi and glanced inadvertently. She was stunned for a second, and said, “Tao Tao?…”

“Um?…”

Yan Xi: “You come with me.”

Outside the bathroom on the second floor, Yan Xi was outside, leaving a gap in the door, and Anzhi was inside.

“Do you understand? There are instructions on the packaging.”

Yan Xi turned his ears in a listening posture.

She almost forgot that An Zhi was thirteen years old and she had grown up.

Yan Xi recalled that Aunt Xin told her when she had her period for the first time, and she was really uncomfortable and embarrassed at that time. An Zhi should feel the same way.

Fortunately, when she was a child, she had read many books on physical health, and Yan Xi had also told her about it. She should understand that this is a normal physiological phenomenon for girls, so she won’t panic and be afraid?

“Okay? Do you want my aunt to help…”

“…No need…Okay.” The door opened, and An Zhi walked out blushing. She changed into loose shorts, and stood awkwardly on her slender white calves.

“Will my stomach feel uncomfortable?” Yan Xi asked softly.

An Zhi whispered, “No.”

“That’s good, you go and sit, and I’ll wash your pants for you.”

An Zhi’s face turned even redder, “No, I’ll wash it myself.”

Yan Xi pushed her, “The cold is just right, don’t touch the cold water now.”

“Auntie…” An Zhi still felt embarrassed.

Yan Xi chuckled and said, “What are you doing politely with me?”

After Yan Xi finished washing An Zhi’s changed clothes, he found that An Zhi was sitting on the sofa in the living room in a daze, as if he had not recovered.

“What’s wrong?” Yan Xi walked over and sat next to her.

An Zhi lowered his head, his ears were pink.

There was a warm smile in Yan Xi’s eyes: “When you grow up, it will be like this every month in the future, don’t be afraid, be careful not to eat ice cream at this time, and take a good rest.”

Then she sighed slightly and continued: “It’s not a coincidence, there’s an exam tomorrow, it’s okay, we don’t have to be under too much pressure, you can definitely do it.”

An Zhi gave a small “um”, and the dimples on his cheeks went deep in shame. She suddenly put her head on Yan Xi’s shoulder. This action was almost acting like a spoiled child, Yan Xi was a little dazed, and subconsciously reached out and touched her head, An Zhi’s hair was as soft as a cloud, and it felt good.

Yan Xi looked at her sideways, her pinkish apple muscles were still childish. Almond eyes and thin eyebrows, nose is not upright, round. She smiled and wrinkled slightly, very cute. She just leaned against her and didn’t speak, but her ears were getting redder.

What are you shy about? Yan Xi chuckled, and she pinched her ears.

“Okay, I’m going to mop the floor. You can sit and play with your phone for a while.” Yan Xi got up.

An Zhi had to sit up straight, and after Yanxi went downstairs, she put away her legs and buried her still hot face into her knees.

It seems that something is different.
