Chapter 115: I Breastfeed Myself
It took some time, first going upstairs to get the key to the bike lock, then asking Uncle Liu where the bike was parked, and finally finding the brand-new bicycle in the underground parking lot.
Why not a scooter?
Because Xiaomuqing’s vision was limited and she didn’t even consider that, only saying she wanted to get a bicycle.
Even now, she hadn’t realized that the bicycle in front of her looked good, rode well, and surpassed her old one in every way.
Except for the sky-blue main color, which made it look like it was designed for girls, the rest could be described as perfect.
“Then, boss, I’m heading back.”
Patting the bicycle seat and greeting her good brother, Xiaomuqing smiled happily.
She even wanted to ride the bike home now.
“Mm, be careful.”
Smiling and nodding, he gently reminded her as he walked with her towards the exit of the underground parking lot.
He was a bit worried, so he decided to escort Xiaomuqing home.
As the two of them walked out of the basement, rumbling sounds occasionally came from the sky, and the air around them felt particularly heavy.
“It’s going to rain.”
“Mm.”
“I have to hurry, otherwise I might turn into a drowned rat later.”
Standing at the exit of the parking lot, Xiaomuqing joked with her good brother with a smile.
However, she didn’t expect that right after joking and had only pushed her bicycle about ten steps out, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
Ye Ziming, standing under the eaves, watched it all with a blank expression, feeling a surge of sweat and not knowing how to comment on the situation.
I breastfeed myself, this move is great, truly worthy of the Xiaomuqing he knew.
The rain was sudden and heavy. Even though Xiaomuqing reacted quickly and pushed her bicycle under the eaves to take shelter,
She still became a drowned rat, just as she had said.
“Um, what should I do now?”
Looking at the downpour before her and listening to the rumbling sounds from the sky, Xiaomuqing was stunned.
With this heavy rain, even an umbrella would be useless. Forcing herself to go back would surely leave her soaking wet, and with the wind, she’d likely catch a cold tomorrow.
“Come to my place to shelter from the rain.”
“Emmm, okay.”
Theoretically, she could wait for the rain to subside before leaving, but who knew when it would lighten up.
Moreover, not only was it raining heavily, but there was also thunder. Judging by the time difference between the sound and the flash, she estimated the lightning strike was about a kilometer away.
So she had no choice but to push her bicycle back into the underground parking lot along the eaves and then be taken home by her good brother.
“Ah~ Achoo! Hhh… grrr~”
Wearing her rain-soaked clothes and feeling a chill, Xiaomuqing couldn’t help but sneeze.
Her nose felt a little uncomfortable, so she made some extra sounds, like a kitten sneezing.
“Go take a shower and change your clothes.”
Looking at Xiaomuqing’s clothes, Ye Ziming frowned slightly and pointed towards the bathroom, saying to her.
“Ah?”
Xiaomuqing was a bit slow to react.
“Hurry up, there are unused towels in the bathroom, and I’ll bring you some clothes later.”
Ye Ziming didn’t intend to discuss it with her, and his tone was more like a command.
As he spoke, he put his arm around Xiaomuqing’s shoulders and directly led her to the bathroom door, then pushed her inside.
“I…”
Standing at the bathroom door, Xiaomuqing looked at her good brother and fumbled, trying to say something but not knowing how to start.
She didn’t bring her Jade Pendant out today!
There was no problem with taking a shower, as long as she locked the door, she could keep her secret.
But after showering, if her good brother asked her why she was still wearing ‘prosthetic breasts’ and a ‘wig,’ how would she explain it?!
“You want me to help you wash?”
Seeing Xiaomuqing’s reluctance to cooperate, Ye Ziming’s frown deepened, and clear displeasure was visible in his eyes and his tone of voice.
Having been caught in the rain and wind, he felt that with Xiaomuqing’s physique, which wasn’t used to exercise, she would likely catch a cold tomorrow… no, tonight.
“No! No need! I can do it myself.”
Seeing her good brother about to enter the bathroom, Xiaomuqing frantically waved her hands in refusal and then closed the bathroom door.
Because she was familiar with her good brother, Xiaomuqing knew what kind of state he was in when he had that expression.
In simple terms, she couldn’t refuse this matter and could only follow his instructions to take a shower here.
Actually, her good brother had no flaws, except that he could be a bit stubborn at times, like now, when he insisted she take a shower.
She had no choice. She wasn’t as assertive as him. If she didn’t follow his instructions, she had reason to believe her good brother would do that.
Help her wash herself…
“Sigh~ I hope the rain stops soon.”
Sighing helplessly, she turned around and started to undress, and also tried to figure out her good brother’s water heater.
The water heater was simple to operate, and she figured it out shortly before the sound of the shower could be heard.
Outside the bathroom, while Ye Ziming was finding clothes for Xiaomuqing, he went to the next door and knocked on Uncle Liu’s door.
“Ginger sugar water, I still have some ingredients left, I’ll bring it to you later.”
“Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Liu.”
“No trouble, I was planning to make some myself. I’ll make a bowl for both of you while I’m at it.”
“Mm.”
After they finished talking, Ye Ziming returned to his own apartment and placed his smallest set of clothes on the washing machine outside the bathroom.
In this apartment’s design, the bathroom and restroom were separate, and there was a small buffer area before entering the bathroom.
After placing the items, he told Xiaomuqing inside where the clothes were.
“Oh, okay.”
Xiaomuqing’s voice and the sound of the shower came from inside the bathroom.
Hearing this sound, Ye Ziming turned and left the small room, heading towards the living room.
Earlier, while getting clothes for Xiaomuqing, he had looked into his closet at the underwear that Yu Jie had given him for Xiaomuqing to try on last time.
He fell into contemplation.
So she was the prophet? It had only been a week, and it was already going to be useful. It was truly chilling.
After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to close the closet door, pretending not to see those two small ‘clothes.’
He didn’t want to be awkward, nor did he want Xiaomuqing to know that he already knew she was a girl.
After delivering the clothes, Ye Ziming sat down on the sofa in the living room and opened his phone to search for ways to prevent colds.
“Boss, are you there?”
Inside the bathroom, after spending a considerable amount of time (about 15 minutes) washing herself clean, Xiaomuqing crawled to the bathroom door and called out softly.
After a while, with no response, she cautiously opened the bathroom door and peeked her head out to observe the situation.
“Boss~ Are you in the restroom?”
Because she couldn’t see the restroom, Xiaomuqing called out weakly towards the restroom.
