Thank you Anonymous for the Ko-Fi

This time Ning You couldn’t let Li Mu wander around the village.  Because he threatened and begged, Li Mu finally sent him to the foot of the mountain.

There was a cold wind blowing in the empty bathroom from time to time. Ning You was wearing long trousers that hadn’t dried out, and so the lower half of his body was freezing. When he took out his phone to look, he found that the temperature dropped below zero. Obviously, it’s still more than ten degrees during the day. This temperature difference is really too big, right?

After exiting the weather app, his WeChat showed an unread message from Li Zhao, saying good night. 

Since there was no entertainment in the mountains. Ning You went to bed early like Li Mu and inadvertently missed the message, but it was strange to reply to it at this time. So Ning You hesitated for a while and finally tucked the phone into his coat pocket.

After emptying the contents of his stomach, Ning You spent a few minutes going through psychological construction in the bathroom.

First, he was raw and then second, he matured. He already had the feeling that he was going through a rough patch. Anyway, Li Mu was a rough man who did not pay attention to anything. Why did he care so much about Li Mu’s opinion of him?

Whether it’s relieving in the woods or having diarrhea in the middle of the night, only Li Mu knows these things, and Li Mu doesn’t belong to his social circle, that is to say, his image will not be affected as a result.

Thinking of this, Ning You felt a lot more comfortable.

When he left the bathroom, the driver’s seat of the pickup truck was nowhere to be seen.

Taking a closer look, it seems that Li Mu had put down the back of his chair and was sleeping whilst waiting for Ning You to return.

The night wind was blowing even harder. Ning You’s soft feather jacket wasn’t thick and cold-resistant enough. He shivered as he got into the car. The first thing he did was to warm his cold hands using puffs of his warm breath. 

Li Mu on the other side slept lightly. Seeing Ning You get in the car, after straightening the seat back he asked lazily, “Are you comfortable?”

Ning You isn’t afraid of anything, just afraid that Li Mu will tease him.

It was obvious that there was a teasing element to this question. He didn’t know how to respond. In short, he sincerely apologized, “I’m sorry to disturb your sleep.”

Li Mu nipped his teasing thoughts and glanced at Ning You, only to see that the tip of his small  and exquisite nose was frozen and flushed, and it slightly tensed as he inhaled hard. 

He took a spare coat from the back seat, threw it on Ning You’s head casually, “Take it and cover yourself.”

The scent of herbal medicine came to his face, Ning You poked out two eyes from under his coat and took a deep breath, but what followed was the smell of sweat and dust.

He didn’t know how long this jacket had been in the back seat, Ning You raised his chin, revealing his whole face, and whispered, “It stinks.”

Li Mu pretended to take his coat away. “Then give it to me.” 

“Don’t. Ning You wrapped the coat tightly, “I’m cold.”

The difference between the two is nothing more than adding water or milk. Reason allows Ning You to choose the Americano, but his unwillingness to lose makes him give up the safe option. 

“I want a latte.” Ning You came to the sink to wash up.

“Are you sure?” Li Mu asked with a raised eyebrow.

“I’m not that fragile.” Ning You said.

“All right.” 

Li Mu didn’t mind. Although he would sometimes find Ning You very difficult to please when he was fussy, he would find it a little funny when he saw the elegant white swan embarrassed.

When Ning You finished washing up slowly, Li Mu’s side just happened to have frothed the milk with the coffee machine.

He shook the milk cylinder in his hand to make the froth smooth and even, then gave it two hard knocks on the counter to shatter the larger froth in the milk cylinder, and on a whim created a difficult pattern.

When Ning You came to the dining table to sit down, he was greeted by a lifelike white swan floating in his cup. 

“This is?” Ning You asked in pleasant surprise.

“You.” Li Mu cleaned the milk cylinder, poured another glass of milk, and pulled a simple leaf for himself.

“Can you make flowers? “Ning You knew that Li Mu would think he was making a big deal out of it, but he still couldn’t help but take out his mobile phone and take a picture of this beautiful white swan.

“En.” Li Mu took the coffee cup and sat down opposite Ning You. 

Today’s breakfast is baked sliced bread, which is still not rich, but perhaps it is because of unexpected surprises early in the morning. Ordinary slices of bread also put Ning You in a good mood.

Li Zhao sent a message last night and he still hasn’t replied yet. Ning You sent the picture  he’d just taken, and then added: Good morning, I went to bed very early last night and didn’t see the message.

[Li Zhao: Good Morning.]

[Li Zhao: This swan looks good.] 

[Li Zhao: Is it your handicraft?]

How could Ning You know this technique, but obviously Li Zhao didn’t understand why he sent this picture, and was considering his intentions.

In fact, Ning You didn’t have any intentions, he just simply wanted to share.

He suddenly realized that “advancing the feelings” might also be a burdensome task for Li Zhao, because he struggled to find a way to carry on the conversation even with an ordinary picture. 

With the thought of respecting each other, Ning You decided to reply a few more sentences.

[Ning You: I didn’t.]

[Ning You: I took this picture]

[Ning You: I think it looks good.] 

After sending three messages, Ning You felt it wasn’t enough to return politeness, so he added another question.

[Ning You: Can you?]

[Li Zhao: Neither can I.]

[Li Zhao: But my younger brother can. If there is an opportunity, I’ll let him show it to you.] 

Is that the brother who doesn’t do his job?

A thought suddenly flashed through Ning You’s mind, this brother wouldn’t run away to become a barista, right?

When he was hesitating whether to continue talking about his brother, Li Zhao had already taken the initiative to talk about another topic.

[Li Zhao: By the way, I asked the guide, we still can’t fly today.] 

[Ning You: It doesn’t matter. I’m not in a hurry.]

[Li Zhao: I’m in a hurry.]

Seeing the new message, Ning You’s mind suddenly jammed. He didn’t know how to reply.

When Li Zhao said that he was in a hurry, he should have wanted to express that he was in a hurry to see him, right? 

Then should he also politely reply to Li Zhao that he also wants to see him?

But…

Ning You looked at Li Mu who was milking the cow in the yard. He was actually not in a hurry to see Li Zhao, because he hadn’t experienced enough here.

Finally the conversation broke down again here. 

[Ning You: Thank you.]

“Can I try it?”

After tidying up the dining table, Ning You came behind Li Mu and eagerly eyed the big yellow cow in front of him.

It’s strange to say that after losing face in front of Li Mu, Ning You instead let go of his actions, wanting to try things he would never try before, milking the cow is one of them. 

“ You want to milk the cow?” Li Mu stopped moving his hand, looked at Ning You uncertainly and asked.

After all, the physical work of milking a cow isn’t suitable for daxiaojie at all.

“You teach me.” Ning You squatted down beside Li Mu.

“Have you washed your hands?” Li Mu asked. 

“Washed it clean.” Ning You spread out his palm to show Li Mu, there was still the smell of soap on it.

“It’s very simple, like this just like what I did.” Li Mu said to Ning You while demonstrating, “Hold its breast and squeeze it hard, see?”

The white milk is pumped into the tin, and it seemed to bring an inexplicable sense of relief to the teat.

Ning You took a small step forward and followed Li Mu’s example by holding onto her huge teats,  and then gently squeezed them. He managed to squeeze a few drops out, but it did not have the same satisfying feeling as an exploding volcano. 

“Harder.” Li Mu said.

“I’m afraid it will hurt.” Ning You said.

After all, this part is very special. It’s not as rough and thick as other parts. Ning You always feel that he must be careful.

“It won’t hurt.” Li Mu said, “If you don’t milk it, it may get milk mastitis, so if you squeeze it clean, it will be more comfortable.” 

“Is that so?” This time Ning You gradually increased his strength, and at the same time did not forget to observe the big yellow cow’s reaction.

However, the big cattle just waved its tail in boredom, and didn’t give a response to Ning You.

With a rigorous and serious attitude, Ning You asked Li Mu: “How do you know if it’s comfortable? What if it just fails to show it and is actually not satisfied with the strength of the milking?”

“No.” Li Mu said, “Just squeeze hard.” 

“Is there a scientific basis for this?” Ning You continued to ask, “How do you judge whether it is comfortable or uncomfortable?”

Blue veins gradually appeared on Li Mu’s forehead. Why does this daxiojie have so many questions?

“Just imagine it yourself.” Li Mu said, “Does it hurt or feel good if you push hard?”

Ning You was in a daze: “Huh?” 

Li Mu immediately realized that he said the wrong thing and pretended that nothing had happened: “…… Anyway, you have to push hard.”
