Chapter 170: The Book Under the Bed...
After buying the machine, the store will pack it up and send it home.
Xu Cheng and Yu Yu were just able to take the small van that delivered the machine back home.
This time, not only did I get two sets of keyboards and mice from my boss, I also saved the money for taking the bus.
Xu Cheng's home was nearby, so his phone was sent back first. After that, he didn't go home, but continued to take the car to Yu Yu's home.
I also have to help her assemble the machine.
There was no one in the yard, only a fat, white cat, napping lazily under the eaves.
The delivery man brought the box into the house and left, leaving the two of them alone.
Looking at the boxes of accessories on the floor, Xu Cheng rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and asked, "Which room do you want to install the computer in?"
Yu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Please put it in my room..."
With a creaky sound, she pushed open the door and went into the room.
The girl was more agile than a cat. She quickly ran to the bed and shoved the inappropriate reading material on the table under the mattress.
He checked the table nervously and was relieved when he felt that there were no clues left.
Xu Cheng's voice came from outside the door.
"Yu Yu, help me lift the door curtain."
"oh."
She half-opened the white cloth curtain, and Xu Cheng squeezed in sideways, holding a 17-inch LCD monitor.
There was a rich aroma in the room, exactly the same as the sweet smell of a young girl.
"Where do you want to put it?"
"Is this table ok?"
Yu Yu pointed to the small table in his room that was covered with a white tablecloth.
The table was originally very small, and there was a simple bookshelf stacked on it.
There are books neatly piled on it, including extracurricular books and some books teaching painting techniques, such as "Comic Sketching Techniques - Perspective", "How to Draw Beautiful Girls", "Clothes for Dynamic Figures"...
This table is next to her small bed. Usually she sits on the edge of the bed and lies on this small table to do homework and draw.
"Xu Cheng, wait a minute, I'll clean up the table."
The desktop was already very tidy, so Yu Yu simply tidied it up to make room for the monitor.
I checked by the way and made sure there was nothing astringent on the table before I went down with peace of mind.
"I, I've packed it."
“Can I put it in now?”
"Yes, that's fine."
"good."
Xu Cheng agreed, walked over holding the monitor, and squeezed into the small and cramped space.
The room was very small. Yu Yu was standing there cleaning the table. When she saw Xu Cheng coming over, she had no choice but to shrink back inside.
Finally, there was no way to retreat and they were pushed against the wall, with their two little hands hanging at their waists against the wall to prevent their clothes from getting stained by the white lime on the wall.
She raised her delicate neck and turned her head to the other side.
Xu Cheng put down the monitor and called her, "Hey, what are you looking at? Is it okay for me to put it in like this?"
"Uh-huh……"
"How about it? Is it okay to put it like this?"
“It’s okay…”
"Why don't we put a little more in there? I feel like there's still a lot of space in here."
"...? I can't get in anymore."
Yu Yu was worried that the monitor would collapse her bookshelf.
She takes great care of books. No matter whether they are bought or borrowed, she is reluctant to leave even a crease on them, let alone write or draw on them.
The two of them communicated for a while and finally moved the monitor to a position that Yu Yu felt was more comfortable.
After all, this is the first time to put such a large item in here, and I have to try many times before I can feel the most suitable position to put it.
The weather was still hot and humid. After Xu Cheng fiddled with the monitor for a while, tiny beads of sweat appeared on his neck. Yu Yu also felt sweaty.
Girls feel particularly uncomfortable and hot in the summer.
Not only did her hair become longer, but she also wore an extra piece of clothing than the boys.
When no one is around, they will quietly remove the shackles.
Yu Yu would take that off when she was alone at home, but now, Xu Cheng was also at her house, so of course she was embarrassed to take it off.
"I'll go cut some watermelon for you. It's been stored in the well since I bought it, so it's very fresh."
Yu Yu whispered to Xu Cheng who was fiddling with a screwdriver.
"Oh, sure."
He made room for Yu Yu to go out , the space was small and their calves inevitably bumped into each other.
Xu Cheng felt a hint of coolness, and Yu Yu felt a hint of heat.
Both of them felt each other, but neither of them spoke .
In the small courtyard, Yu Yu was busying himself by the well with familiarity.
Inside the house, Xu Cheng felt a little tired from standing to tighten the screws, so he sat down on the bed.
Yu Yu’s mattress was very thin, so he immediately felt something hitting his butt.
Maybe it was because he slept on a soft bed for too long, just like in the fairy tale of the Princess and the Pea, so he immediately felt the book under the bed.
He reached down and indeed took out several books.
This scared Xu Cheng.
Could it be that Yu Yu was also a reborn person? Did he also have the habit of putting study materials under his bed?
After taking a look at the title of the book, it really is "learning materials".
Xu Cheng was shocked. When he heard the kitchen door slamming shut, he knew Yu Yu was back.
Resisting the urge to take it away, I put it back where it was, arranged it the way it was before continuing with the work at hand.
Yu Yu came back with a small iron basin with several pieces of red watermelon in it. She picked up a piece and handed it to the boy.
"Xu Cheng, this is for you."
"oh."
Xu Cheng couldn't look Yu Yu in the eye for a moment. He didn't know what to say to her. Should he say, "Yu Yu, you don't want others to know that you have study materials under your bed, right..."?
He was fiddling with the computer with one hand and taking a big bite of the watermelon with the other. Yu Yu put the basin on the table, picked up a piece and sat down next to him.
"Sweet, sweet?" she asked tentatively.
"Mmm, sweet and icy."
Hearing him say it was delicious, Yu Yu felt happy.
She usually couldn't bear to eat this melon, so she put it in the well and it could be preserved for a long time.
But today Xu Cheng accompanied her to buy a computer and helped her install the computer, so she didn't feel bad at all if he ate it.
She sat on the edge of the bed, eating small bites of the melon, watching Xu Cheng fiddling with the console. From time to time, she spit out the black melon seeds into her palm and then wrapped them in toilet paper.
"You have so many books at home, have you read them all?" Xu Cheng suddenly asked.
When Yu Yu heard the question about the book, he felt like he was caught doing something bad. He suddenly became panicked and answered in a daze.
"Um."
Xu Cheng stretched out his hand in front of her, wanting her to help him take the screws from the bedside.
But Yu Yu was in a daze.
Seeing Xu Cheng's hand reaching to her mouth, she lowered her head, opened her little mouth and spit the black melon seeds into his palm one by one.
Xu Cheng: “……???”
"I asked you to help me remove the screws . What are you doing?"
Yu Yu's face was full of panic.
"Um, I, I thought..."
“…Forget it.”
Xu Cheng threw away the melon seeds and continued to tighten the screws.
Yu Yu fell into the red temperature state, which made her silent, so she couldn't say a word.
It was quiet for a long time.
During this time, Xu Cheng figured it out.
Most of those books were forced upon Yu Yu by Yan Wenwen.
These things were nothing, at most they were romance novels, many of her peers were reading these now, and compared to the various comics she had been exposed to since she was a child, the scale of these things was not at the same level at all.
Therefore, Yu Yu’s image in his heart has not collapsed.
At most, it made him realize that the little girl who was tricked by him into eating chicken legs has grown into a big girl who is curious about gender relations.
The computer was almost assembled soon. Xu Cheng picked up the mouse given by the store, took a look at it, and then looked at Yu Yu's several-inch palm.
“Is this mouse a little too big for you?”
“Is there?”
Yu Yu tried to raise his little hand and grasped the mouse.
As expected, there is no way to fully grasp it.
Xu Cheng compared her hand to the mouse and said, "Your hand is too small. This is too big for you."
"No, it's okay. It should be fine to use..."
Yu Yu's voice became lower and lower.
The cicadas in the branches outside the window suddenly started chirping.
Xu Cheng in the room felt guilty because of the harsh voice. He had not been serious just now.
Yu Yu's cheeks also blushed.
Because she understood...
