To Your Island Screw Your Island - Chapter 45
At dawn, Wang Jiexiang opened his eyes.
The first thing to bring in the eyes is Yin Xian’s profile.
He lay next to her last night!
Wang Jiexiang’s face was full of smiles, she looked at him intently, reluctant to get up.
——Oh, this man, the more he looks, the more pleasing to the eye.
A tall nose, thin, pale lips, how can the shape of eyebrows be so good…
She secretly raised a hand and traced his eyebrow lightly with her fingertips.
“itch.”
Yin Xian with closed eyes suddenly spoke.
Wang Jiexiang felt guilty, immediately retracted his hand into the quilt and closed his eyes nervously.
Maintain the same posture without moving for five minutes.
He reminded her: “It’s time to get up.”
“Oh!”
Wang Jiexiang opened the quilt.
Before getting out of bed, she turned to look at him, and Yin Xian was also looking at herself.
She didn’t know where the courage came from, leaned in and kissed his face hard.
He was half-dreaming and half-awake. After being kissed by her, his eyes suddenly widened.
Wang Jiexiang “pushed” with a laugh.
Yin Xian pursed the corners of his mouth, but was also laughing.
In this way, without the mutual appeal of love between you and me, and the confirmation process of becoming a boyfriend and girlfriend is omitted, they are together tacitly.
The communication and simplicity brought convenience to their lives.
Wang Jiexiang’s floor was put into the cabinet, so he didn’t need to sleep on the cold floor. Make room in your home so you don’t have to move furniture around every time you cook and eat. She and Yin Xian change clothes so that they can be in front of each other, and the other person does not need to go out to avoid suspicion.
The place where he lives is mixed, plus the last peeking incident in the public bathroom, Yin Xian began to wait for Wang Jiexiang to leave work and go to the bathroom with her to take a bath.
After he finishes washing first, he will wait outside with the bucket; if her hot water is not enough, he can go home to boil hot water and bring it.
The two people cuddled to sleep, and the room seemed to become warmer.
The snow and ice in winter melted quietly, and then spring came to the earth.
The rise in temperature caused the small animals to crawl out of the cave and resume their activity.
Woke up in the morning, Wang Jiexiang and Yin Xian squatted by the tap and brushed their teeth. With sharp eyes, she caught a small gray figure running quickly along the ditch.
“Ah, there are mice there,” she immediately told him what she saw.
“Ahem.”
Yin Xian, who was gargling, was choked.
Before he could wipe the toothpaste on his lips, he looked around and backed away slowly.
“Mouse! Where?”
Wang Jiexiang glanced at the corner of his clothes tightly grasped, and staying next to her, as if facing an enemy.
“Brother Xian, are you… afraid of mice?”
She saw it easily.
Yin Xian looked into the distance and didn’t want to admit it.
“It’s difficult, we have a lot of mice. You are not really afraid of mice, are you?”
There was interest in her tone.
He ignored her and went back to the room first.
——Unbelievable.
——Poker face, the world’s most cool, social person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, she shows brother! Are you afraid of small mice?
It is impossible for Wang Jiexiang to let go of such an interesting thing.
She stopped brushing her teeth, and she hurriedly ran after her, continuing to entangle Yin Xian.
“Not only mice, but also mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches.”
He stiffened again when he mentioned cockroaches.
She described vividly.
“Well, this cockroach! There are too many cockroaches in the city village, I have seen it many times. Speaking of which, the cockroaches here are nothing compared to ours. The cockroaches in our place are shiny and muscular. The big one can be as big as the palm of a child. If you slap it with slippers, maybe it will fly up and hit your face…”
Yin Xian shook his back.
He turned his head and pinched her forefinger and thumb precisely to seal her chattering mouth.
Wang Jiexiang struggled to make a “much” sound.
“Don’t say it.”
Her mouth was controlled by him, so she nodded.
Yin Xian let go.
“Hey.”
Wang Jiexiang snapped his fingers.
“Then let’s talk about cockroaches, let’s talk about mice.”
“…”
There was wind under his feet and he escaped as quickly as possible.
Wang Jiexiang really got evidence that “Yin Xian was afraid of mice” was in the summer of that year.
The city ushered in the rainy season.
The sky was overcast, and the rain was endless.
Their cheap rental houses have exposed major and minor problems.
The walls and corners of the house gradually showed large damp yellow spots, mixed with black mold.
Several places on the ceiling are leaking into the house, and they and the landlord have reacted. She said that the roof needed to be repaired, which would cost a lot of money. It may be that she was not willing to pay the money. After talking to the landlord for several weeks, she did not find a repairer.
Unable to do anything, Wang Jiexiang put a basin and bucket on the leaking place.
It is too difficult to keep it completely dry. You can only use this method to prevent rainwater from soaking through the floor to prevent it from being moldy like a wall.
In the middle of the night, Wang Jiexiang climbed up and down, picked up the full bucket, and went out to pour water.
Yin Xian was awakened by her.
After she covered the quilt and lay down, he said, “Otherwise, we will pay for it and find someone to fix it.”
“Where’s the money.”
The family is financially struggling, and she knows how much savings they have.
In the second half of the night, it rained even harder.
The basin at the end of the bed was filled with water, and Wang Jiexiang, who could not stretch his arms and legs, was held in Yin Xian’s arms.
She was not at ease in her heart, for fear that she would accidentally kick the basin and wet the quilt of the whole bed.
On such a rainy day, there are already a lot of clothes not to dry.
The quilt can’t be wet…there is no place to dry, and it won’t dry.
Woke up the next day, Wang Jiexiang, who hadn’t slept much, wore big dark circles under her eyes, her waist and back pain.
Yin Xian opened the curtains and said to her, “The rain has stopped.”
Go outside and take a look.
The rain stopped, but the road in front of them was flooded.
The village in the city is low-lying, and the drainage system is designed in a mess.
The heavy rain overnight blocked the gutter outside the door.
The uncle of the neighbor opposite the door woke up and complained endlessly.
The terrain of his house is low, and the water flows directly into the house.
“Money, my money.”
The waste newspapers and old papers he collected were soaked, and they could no longer be sold.
The uncle over half a century has tears in his eyes.
Wang Jiexiang sighed.
Neither of them has much appetite. Half a pot of breakfast left, no one to eat.
While it was not raining, they brought rain gear and went to work.
Facing the sky, Wang Jiexiang prayed in his heart: “I hope it will not rain today.”
The prayer was not heard by God.
It was fine all morning, but suddenly turned cloudy in the afternoon.
Thunder and lightning flashed outside the seafood factory and heavy rain fell.
The director of the factory received a call: The road was closed due to heavy rain, and the trucks delivering seafood could not come to the factory today. So he informs the employees that they can leave work after doing the get off work at hand.
That is to say, the rain is so heavy, people who want to go home again wait for the rain to get lighter before leaving the factory.
Colleagues slowed down, and only Wang Jiexiang, who used 12 minutes of energy, planned to finish her work and go home quickly.
In the violent storm, she was still drenched with the umbrella under her umbrella.
After leaving the factory, Wang Jiexiang hurriedly ran towards home.
It’s over, watching the rain, the floor of the house must be flooded…
The village in the city seemed to be immersed in a vast ocean, with yellow dirty water floating in bottles and cans, animal carcasses, and some unclear garbage.
When I went out, the water that didn’t reach her ankle had now reached her thigh.
The situation is worse than Wang Jiexiang imagined. She wiped the drops of water from her face, dripped into the dirty water without hesitation, and walked back to her home.
The door was wide open, and Yin Xian came back one step earlier than her.
Flooded.
Home is flooded!
The incoming water is knee deep.
Washbasins, buckets, carpets, brooms, pots and bowls, condiments, paper drawers, plug-in boards… almost everything in the house, they are soaked in water.
At a glance, I also know that the family suffered heavy losses.
With Yin Xian’s trousers pulled high, he picked up the bedside table and looked around blankly.
Where should I put the bedside table? Where can he go?
This is his only home, it was destroyed like this.
“Brother Xian, throw it on the bed.” Wang Jiexiang shouted.
The two looked at each other.
She stepped forward quickly, joined him, and rescued the family’s property together.
Only the bed and the top of the wardrobe are relatively high.
These two places were not submerged, and they were floating, where things could be put.
Wang Jiexiang was in charge of picking up the light gadgets, and Yin Xian was in charge of moving the big and heavy ones, piled up in bits and pieces.
Too poor, there is nothing particularly valuable in the family.
However, looking at it this way, I am not willing to lose anything. They fished carefully until they were exhausted.
The rain was pouring outside.
The two men squeezed into the bed panting, guarding the bed full of clutter behind them.
If the rain continues, the bed will also be flooded.
Wang Jiexiang sullenly, half of his arm hanging outside the bed.
She tapped the legs of the bed with her fingertips, and she stared at the water that gradually overflowed.
Like her, Yin Xian next to her stared at the water in a daze.
Suddenly, his eyes widened.
“mouse!”
Pulling her arm, he led her to hide in the bed.
Yin Xian’s shoulder knocked to the stainless steel coat rack, and he gasped in air.
His large movements frightened Wang Jiexiang, she straightened up and rubbed his shoulders.
“Wow, are you doing anything?!”
“It’s okay,” Yin Xian shook his head pale, he was more afraid of other things than the pain in his body: “Sit in again, the big mouse in the water is swimming.”
Even if Wang Jiexiang is not afraid of mice, his remarks are still quite frightening.
She held her breath and looked at the direction he was looking at.
“Don’t go.” Yin Xian stopped her.
He was too late, and Wang Jiexiang had already poked his head out.
Yin Xian covered his face with both hands, afraid to look at the scene.
Indeed, there was a black creature moving around in the muddy water.
but……
With a long sigh of relief, Wang Jiexiang couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s a fish.”
Yin Xian’s hands slammed his face, unwilling to believe it.
“It has legs.”
“leg?”
She tugged at his arm and told him to come and see: “It’s obviously like a fish.”
“Really?”
He moved a finger suspiciously, revealing an eye.
“Well, people swim well, they must have been fish for more than one day or two days.”
With his chin in his hands, Wang Jiexiang lay on the bed watching the fish.
Seeing the true face of the “black creature”, he completely removed his palm.
——Look at this smooth swimming style and superb diving skills. It is indeed not the mouse he thinks.
“Why does it appear here?”
Wang Jiexiang stared at the fish in surprise, unable to look away at all.
Yin Xian was no less surprised than her.
The two were next to each other, with the same posture supporting their chins.
Four eyes stared at it in the water intently.
The black and fat fish didn’t know where they came from or why they entered their home by mistake. The tail and torso are swaying flexibly, and its legs are against the sides of the body, swimming leisurely.
“Really, it has hands and feet. I see it.”
Wang Jiexiang turned his head and asked Yin Xian, “Is it a fish?”
“It should be a baby fish,” he saw in the textbook: “It is an amphibian, not a fish.”
“Ah? It’s not a fish, so why is it called a baby fish?”
“Because it looks like a fish.”
She asked the unnutritious question, and he answered her knowingly.
The outside world is stormy, and their poor young lives will be washed away by floods at any time.
Fortunately, they have a sheltering eaves, a talking partner, and a fish that is not a fish. These together form the appearance of a home; the terrible world is no longer incurably terrible.
