Qin Peng saw Xia Linxi walking forward with his head lowered. He was afraid that he would make her cry again, so he didn't say anything. He just followed beside her and walked slowly behind her in silence.
Xia Linxi suddenly stopped at the door and turned to look at Qin Peng.
Qin Peng was shocked by her sudden turn and almost stopped and bumped into her. When he steadied his steps, he was shocked by the expression of the little girl in front of him.
The blush on Xia Linxi's face had long since faded away by the cold night breeze. However, his eyes were still red, his swollen eyelids, and the remaining tears on his face were still obvious signs that he had just cried. At this moment, she was biting her lips tightly. Her big eyes that were still filled with tears were staring straight at Qin Peng, as if tears were about to fall in the next second.
Qin Peng was scared by her stare and was afraid that she would cry again. He could only rub her head helplessly and say with a smile,"What's wrong, little crybaby? Are you crying again? Why don't I lend you my shoulder to cry for a while longer?”
Xia Linxi shook his head and shook his hand away. He said shyly,"" Don't let your parents and my parents know about what happened today…" Her voice was still a little hoarse from crying, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.
Qin Peng looked at her awkward and shy appearance, and his heart seemed to have been scratched by a little kitten. Looking at her reddened face and watery eyes, he said,""Kiss me and I'll keep your secret.”
Xia Linxi did not react when he heard that. Kiss him? Kiss? Kiss Qin Peng? Qin Peng wants me to kiss him? What the hell? After she reacted, her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye as she looked at Qin Peng in shock.
After saying this, Qin Peng himself was shocked. How could he have blurted it out? He felt a sense of regret for leaking the secret. Seeing that Xia Linxi was still looking at him with disbelief and confusion in his eyes, he did not know how to react. He could only ruffle Xia Linxi's hair guiltily and walk home. His ears seemed to be burning and could not help but turn red.
"I'm just joking. Big brother doesn't like little potatoes that haven't fully developed.”
Xia Linxi lowered his head and looked at his flat chest. He understood the mockery in Qin Peng's words just now. All thoughts went out of his mind. He raised his fist angrily and rushed in Qin Peng's direction, preparing to sneak attack from behind.
Qin Peng seemed to have foreseen her thoughts in advance. With the advantage of his naturally long legs, he went up the steps outside the door in one step, opened the door, and threw his bag on the sofa before coming out. It took about half a minute.
The houses of the two families were not far from each other. They were both small villas that were less than 100 meters apart. After Qin Peng came out, he walked towards Xia Linxi's house and even mocked Xia Linxi."Hurry up, short legs. If you're late, you won't have anything to eat.”
Having been exposed twice, Xia Linxi became even angrier. She chased after him with all her might, but his legs were longer. How could her short legs catch up to him?
After Xia Linxi chased after Qin Peng for more than half of the time, he saw that Qin Peng had already reached his house. He could only give up helplessly. His face was red and he panted as he walked home. Qin Peng was already leaning leisurely at the door of his house, waiting for her with a smile.
'Tsk, I've never been able to catch up to him since I was young,' Xia Linxi thought indignantly.
In order to prevent her mother from finding out that she had cried, Xia Linxi had been hiding behind Qin Peng since she entered the house. Fortunately, his mother was still busy in the kitchen. She only poked her head out. When she saw the two of them, she returned to the kitchen and shouted,"Little Xi, why did Peng Peng come back so late today?”
Xia Linxi agreed as he changed his shoes.""Oh, it's nothing. There's an event in school, so I have to go and discuss the program with my classmates.”
"Okay, go wash your hands and prepare to eat! However, he had to wait for a while for the fish. If he was hungry, he could eat it first.”
"It's okay, Mom. There's no hurry. We'll eat together after you're done.”
Xia Linxi's mother agreed and continued cooking.
Qin Peng pulled Xia Linxi into the study.”After saying that, he went out.
Xia Linxi was baffled.
Just as Xia Linxi was still puzzled, Qin Peng returned with a wet towel in his hand and walked up to Xia Linxi.
"Close your eyes and raise your head." He folded the towel a few times as he spoke.
Xia Linxi obediently closed his eyes, raised his head, and leaned against the back of the chair. The next second, he felt a cold sensation around his eyes. The burning sensation on his swollen eyelids had subsided quite a bit, and his eyes, which were still uncomfortable from crying, felt a little relieved. It was so comfortable.
The discomfort in his eyes finally eased. Xia Linxi's lips curled up subconsciously, enjoying the cold feeling.
Qin Peng looked at Lin Xiaoxing's lips. The lips that had just been bitten were red and a little swollen. They were as delicate and beautiful as cherries, making people want to taste them.
The more Qin Peng thought about it, the more the fire in his heart burned. He subconsciously swallowed his saliva, closed his eyes, and shook his head, wanting to chase those messy thoughts out. However, the more he did so, the more thoughts in his mind fought to come out.
In the end, he had no choice but to hold the towel with one hand and take out a White Rabbit Creamy Candy from his pocket with the other. He opened it with one hand and stuffed the candy into Xia Linxi's mouth through the paper, trying to stop his imagination.
Xia Linxi was comfortably enjoying the service when something was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. He subconsciously wanted to spit it out when he heard Qin Peng's low voice."Milk candy."
She bit down hard, and the sweet taste of the milk candy filled her mouth, making her feel happy.
Xia Linxi enjoyed the pleasure of the toffee and the comfort of the cold towel to his heart's content. He didn't notice the emotions of the people behind him at all.
No one spoke again. The sweet fragrance of the milk candy spread out and mixed with the original orange fragrance in the air, giving off a sense of peace.
After an unknown period of time, the sound of Xia Linxi's mother's dishes colliding came from outside. Qin Peng knew that dinner was ready. He gently took off the towel covering Lin Xiaoxing's eyes and said softly,"Xia Linxi, dinner is ready.”
Xia Linxi had just been scared out of her wits and had even cried. She had suffered a double blow both mentally and physically. The milk candy in her mouth and the familiar smell of her own home made her confirm that she was finally safe. Her tense nerves had completely relaxed, and fatigue and sleepiness surged into her brain. She actually fell asleep in a daze.
Qin Peng saw that she didn't react and lowered his head to look at her eyes. Although the redness had mostly subsided, there were still faint traces of crying. However, if one didn't look carefully, one wouldn't be able to tell.
However, when he thought of the helpless look of the little girl crying on his shoulder just now, he felt a wave of pain in his heart. If he had gone a little later…If he had not heard her cry for help…If…He did not dare to continue thinking about it.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He looked at Xia Linxi's flushed cheeks and slightly swollen eyes, and he leaned over to kiss her gently between her eyebrows. It was as light as a dragonfly skimming the water. It was so quick that he wondered if he had touched her just now.
Qin Peng straightened his back and lowered his head guiltily. It was as if he could hear his violent heartbeat in the quiet room. His ears turned red unconsciously and he looked at Xia Linxi. Fortunately, this heartless little girl was still in a daze like before.
Just as Qin Peng was feeling guilty, Mother Xia's voice came from the living room.""Children, it's time to eat."
Qin Peng came back to his senses and took a deep breath to calm down his rapidly beating heart. He bent down and pinched Xia Linxi's red and soft face. He changed into his usual annoying tone and said,""Are you a pig? She could even fall asleep. It was time to get up and eat.”
Xia Linxi was still in a daze when she felt a pain on her face. She thought that she was in the classroom, so she angrily slapped her hand away and muttered impatiently,"Don't pinch my face. My face is mostly because of you…"
Qin Peng saw that she didn't even open her eyes and knew that she hadn't woken up yet. He mercilessly gave her a blow on the head and said with a smile,"Get up quickly. Stop mumbling. Your face is big because you ate meat wrapped in wok. You still want to blame me…"
No matter how sleepy Xia Linxi was, she was still jolted awake by this merciless flick. She covered the spot on her forehead where she had just been flicked and glared at Qin Peng with her two large eyes full of hatred. She was ready to retaliate, but he did not take her seriously. He had already left the room to wash his hands and prepare to eat.
Xia Linxi saw that there was no chance of revenge, so he could only make a mental note of it. When the opportunity arises, I'll smash his skull. Thinking of this, she felt much better and went out to wash her hands and eat.
Fortunately, she had just applied a cold compress, so Mother Xia didn't notice that Xia Linxi had been crying. She only felt that it was because she had been working late to study recently that her eyes were red. Xia Linxi heaved a sigh of relief.
A day passed happily!
