Give Me A Hug (BL)

Chapter 20[Baby]

Xie Jiaran did not forget to lock the door of the room this time.

Zhou Wenyue went to the back garden to water the flowers. Lu Shang was the only one in the living room. He held the paintbrush he had snatched and stared at Xie Jiaran as he left. Xie Jiaran didn't even spare him a glance when he passed by.

The late summer rain evaporated the heat from the ground, and the air was moist, with the smell of grass mixed with soil, clean and cool.

When Xie Jiaran walked out of the house, he felt the tip of his nose hit by raindrops. Then he remembered that he had been in such a hurry that he even forgot to bring an umbrella.

"I'll go back and get an umbrella," he said.

He wanted to turn around but Liang Sunian approached him first and pulled him under his umbrella.

"Two is too much trouble, and it's hard to talk from too far away. Don't worry, this one is big enough to cover both of us."

Liang Sunian said, handing over an unopened ice cream in his hand: "Here, I bought this when I passed by a supermarket on my way in. Consider it a greeting gift for my first visit to your house."

Xie Jiaran looked at the ice cream in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking about. His long eyelashes blinked twice, but he didn't take it.

"Don't you like the taste?" Liang Sunian asked.

"No." Xie Jiaran denied subconsciously, as if he had just realized what he said, and frowned: "But you didn't even go in."

"So my gift is very small." Liang Sunian urged him with a smile: "Eat it quickly, or it will melt in a while."

Xie Jiaran wanted to take the ice cream, but his attention was attracted by Liang Sunian's hand.

Unconsciously, she turned her wrist, curled her fingers and gently touched his with the back of her fingers.

Like a little animal that cautiously acts coquettishly towards people.

Liang Sunian understood it almost immediately, and smiled softly with his eyes curved: "Don't be anxious."

She tore off the seal of the ice cream and stuffed it into the palm of his right hand. She lowered her head and rolled up her shirt sleeves to her elbows. She pulled his left hand through the bottom and around her arm, so that their palms were touching.

"I can't hold your hand if I want to hold the umbrella." He waved the umbrella to indicate, expressing his helplessness: "This is the only way, will you just make do with it?"

Xie Jiaran lowered her head and took a bite of the ice cream, silently holding him tighter.

Due to the weather, the return journey took longer than the return trip yesterday.

The rain in Miancheng did not fall in Jincheng. When Xie Jiaran was almost at school, he received a message from Zhou Wenyue and asked him why he left and what to do with Shang Shang's test paper.

Xie Jiaran lowered his head and replied: [I have something to do at school, so I’ll go back first. If Lu Shang really has problems with his studies, find him a tutor. I don’t have time.]

Without even looking out the window, he got off the car when Liang Sunian did.

After sending the message, he looked up and realized that he had not arrived at the school yet. Liang Sunian took him to a shopping plaza near the school.

"What are we doing here?" he asked. "Aren't we going back to school?"

"Let's go back." Liang Sunian looked around, chose a direction, turned back to look at Xie Jiaran and said with a smile: "But we have to eat first."
