Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 484: The Educated Youth Cousin in the Historical Literature (54)

"Cousin?!"

The moment Lin Xi's voice rang out, Song Guanwen, who had originally closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look in her direction.

In the shadow of the swaying tree, Lin Xi was holding a bunch of lush and blooming gardenias in her hand. Her little face was rosy, completely different from the pale face she had just seen in the water.

The strands of hair on her temples were soaked with sweat and stuck to her forehead obediently. Her beautiful eyes were shining with brilliance and flashing with tiny halos, like the shimmering surface of a lake.

Looking at Lin Xi standing there full of energy and safe and sound, Song Guanwen suddenly felt a lump in his throat, his eye sockets tightened, and his lips moved, wanting to say something.

But before he could say anything, when he turned around and saw his appearance, Lin Xi's eyes turned red and she almost staggered towards him.

Lin Xi trotted to Song Guanwen, but stopped abruptly when she was half a step away from him.

Looking at Song Guanwen, who was soaked all over, with messy hair and several scratches on his face and arms, Lin Xi's eyes reddened. She covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief and sobbed.

"Cousin, cousin, what's wrong with you?"

The gardenia in her hand fell to the ground as she moved, landing at her feet and stirring up a cloud of dust.

Song Guanwen watched the big tears from the corners of her eyes slipping through her fingers as if they were free. He felt as if his heart was being tightly squeezed, and a dull pain came over him. However, he showed a comforting smile on his face and shook his head at Lin Xi.

"I'm fine, don't... cry."

"Wow, how can it be okay? You're like this."

Obviously, his look was not convincing at all. Not only was Lin Xi not comforted by his words, but she cried even more sadly. As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, her face turned pale, her eyes widened, and she spoke with a stammer.

"Could it be that the person they were talking about diving into the water was, was it you?"

Having said this, she didn't know what was going on in her mind, her face turned even paler, and the sobs she had been suppressing turned into loud howling, and her whole body was trembling slightly.

"Wow!"

“Wow, wow, I was wrong, cousin, I’m sorry.

"I will never be angry with you again, don't let it get to your head!"

"If you hate me, I will...stay away from you and never bother you again."

Lin Xi seemed to be extremely sad. Her tearful face was full of fear. She cried intermittently, as if she regretted so much that she wished she could die to atone for her sins.

"You, you're fine. Chen Zhiqing is very nice and even gave you some ointment. You guys... um!"

The world was spinning, and her body suddenly bumped into a hot and wet chest. Her incoherent words were abruptly interrupted. It was not until the wet touch penetrated the thin clothes and reached her skin that Lin Xi finally realized what had just happened - she was hugged by Song Guanwen who suddenly stood up.

At this moment, her cheek was resting on his violently heaving chest, and his burning palm was against her back.

This brief hug ended in an instant, but the force was so strong that even after Song Guanwen's arm had left her back, Lin Xi could still feel the slight pain on her skin.

"What does it have to do with me whether she's okay or not?"

A gust of wind blew by, causing the leaves above her head to rustle and laugh. Song Guanwen's hoarse voice came from above her head. Lin Xi looked up suddenly and bumped into his eyes, which were so deep that they seemed to suck people in. Her body trembled and her face turned completely red.

She took a step back in panic, trying to put some distance between them, but as soon as she moved her feet, she felt her wrist tighten, and her whole body froze in place.

Song Guanwen lowered his eyes to look at Lin Xi, who was avoiding his gaze. He took her wrist and gently but firmly led her towards him, then took her back to the bench.

"I'm really happy to see you waiting for me at the door."

His voice was soft and low, and his fingertips rested on her slender wrist bone, stroking it subtly, and then slowly slid down.

"I just exchanged a few words with her, there's nothing to do with her."

The warm palm pressed against the back of Lin Xi's slender hand, and the knuckles gently rubbed her joints, bringing a subtle itch.

"If you're unhappy, just say it. Don't sulk by yourself, and don't let me find you."

Song Guanwen's palm suddenly turned over, covering Lin Xi's entire hand under his palm, and then he exerted a little force with his fingertips, irresistibly separating her tightly clenched fingers.

"Xixi, don't hide from me, and don't put me together with others casually."

The five fingers with distinct joints slowly sank down, gently but irresistibly embedded in the gaps between Lin Xi's fingers, interlocking with hers.

"Okay..."

As Song Guanwen's last question, which was so light as a sigh, fell, his fingers were completely entangled with Lin Xi's fingers.

Like a silently climbing vine, it looks soft and harmless, but it silently and tightly wraps around its prey, making it unable to escape.

"Cousin..."

Lin Xi had never seen Song Guanwen like this before. Unlike usual, he was not meticulously groomed from head to toe. Now his hair was messy, his clothes were half wet, and there were wounds on his face and body. He looked extremely miserable, but inexplicably she couldn't take her eyes off him.

She had always been a little afraid of him, always keeping her brows lowered in front of him, too timid to look him in the eye. Today, she was angered by the intimate scene between him and Chen Caiqing, and she finally managed to stand up for once.

But now, seeing him staring at her intently, his dark eyes filled with emotions she had never seen before, his hands tightly intertwined with hers, the timidity in her heart suddenly showed signs of reviving again - she dared not look at him anymore.

Lin Xi turned her head away in panic and stammered, trying to pull her hand back, but the hand holding her exerted a little force, and the burning temperature of the palm was clearly transmitted through the tightly pressed skin, burning Lin Xi so much that she trembled and immediately forgot what she wanted to say.

"Xixi, I'm sorry. Are you still angry with me?" As if noticing Lin Xi's weak struggle, Song Guanwen held her hand tighter, his voice becoming a little hoarse, revealing some grievance.

The moment she saw Song Guanwen's miserable appearance, the remaining resentment in Lin Xi's heart immediately vanished. At this moment, being coaxed by him in such a humble manner, with a tone so gentle that it was almost begging, how could she still feel angry?

Therefore, after hearing Song Guanwen's tone, he immediately shook his head in panic and stammered.

"I, I didn't..."

"Then, can I hug you?"
