Chapter 18: WiFi Signal
(No edit)
§§§ the update is a little earlier than planned from last week (。・ε・`。) no edit tho, hope you enjoy. §§§
Xiao Yu’s body recovered quite a bit after having an injection. He sat on his brother’s shoulders with satisfaction, his mouth was full of English mixed with Chinese words murmuring nonstop.
In order word, the little guy was extremely happy, not only because of himself recovering from his sickness, but also because of his elder brother’s short-term gentle attitude.
Xiao Yao was tall, and with an addition of a curly-haired, blue-eyed little guy sitting on his shoulder, it made him even more eye-catching. Coming out all the way from the infusion room to the outside of the hospital,
they attracted many people’s attention.
“Brother!” Xiao Yu was punching, shaking his small hands and legs, feeling excited for who knows what, telling Xiao Yao, “Look!”
The little guy was so restless that Xiao Yao had to tap his body a few times, “Sit down properly.”
Xiao Yu still wanted to attract his brother’s attention. But after seeing the trace of Xiao Yao’s frown between his eyebrows, Naomi hurriedly said something to Xiao Yu. The little guy immediately settled down again, like a little obedient rabbit, sitting there motionless.
It was cold in winter, and the breathing was clearly visible at night. When the three people slowly walked to the intersection and waited for the taxi, Xiao Yao suddenly felt uncomfortable in his throat and coughed slightly.
Just then a small breathing voice sounded above his head, and a pair of warm little hands were placed beside his ears.
“Not cold, brother.” He said in a soft and glutinous childish voice, which wasn’t fluent in Chinese.
Xiao Yao’s heart felt soft for a moment.
Before the little guy could cover his ears, the taxi they called before arrived and already stopped in front of them.
When he got home, the little guy reluctantly came out of Xiao Yao’s arms. As he followed his sister out of the car, his eyes were still stuck to Xiao Yao with his nose running, even though his brother was oblivious about it.
After Xiao Yao told his address to the driver, he caught a glimpse of this scene and smiled in his heart.
He took out a paper towel and wiped Xiao Yu’s nose, and then told him in English, “Listen to your sister, take medicine on time, and stop kicking the quilt.”
There was a touch of gentleness in his tone that he didn’t even notice himself.
However, when he said this, what he thought of was—I don’t know if Little Bunny took the medicine I bought him?
Ti Xiao of course… hadn’t taken his medicine yet.
After the pill rolled under the sofa, Ti Xiao froze for a few seconds, as if all his IQ had disappeared along as the pill fell. He stood on the same spot holding a glass of water, speechless.
In this empty room, the only light shining was from his computer’s screen, and as well as the light from his phone vibrated from time to time because of Weibo comments. A while later, Ti Xiao patted his forehead. Before he realized it, he had ordered a takeaway for tomorrow morning on his phone in advance, then decided to go to bed before 24 o’clock for the first time.
This small Ti cinnamon roll Xiao, was often sick from his childhood up until this age. During the winter season, he would get sick starting from a small catch to having a fever, then evolve to something as serious as appendicitis.
His parents as well as his brother told him many times that he should go out more for exercise, and don’t always just stay at home. In the past, his parents could manage him when they lived together. But since Ti Xiao went to college and graduated, his parents couldn’t control him no matter how long they stretched their arms.
Especially when he wouldn’t take the cold medicine after catching a cold, and even eat salty food to the point that it would worsen fever, and the habit of kicking the quilt in his sleep.
When Ti Xiao woke up in the morning and went out to get takeout, he was surprised.
Ti Xiao was a regular customer to this morning takeaway shop. He had been familiar with the food delivery brother, even though he came to deliver food for him just once or twice.
In front of his door, there was a cardboard box for food delivery. The little brother seemed to have left after placing the breakfast in the box, saving his time and as to not having to call to disturb his dreams. This was a perfect outcome for both of them.
It was just that today’s packaging looked different from usual, and the food also seemed to be different from what he ordered last night.
The voice-activated lights in the hallway had been replaced with new ones, and the trash at the door of his opposite room was also gone.
(T/N: remember TX lived on the 4th floor.)
The little confusion that he had when he just woke up came to its fullest at this time. Ti Xiao looked down at the plastic bag in his hand, smelled the sweetness of red jujubes in the porridge, and went back to his house with a dumb face.
Just as when Ti Xiao lifted the bag out of the box, a small white card dropped out without him knowing it.
The card fluttered a few times in the chill of winter breeze, like a white butterfly flapping its wings, and finally landed on the stairs on the third floor.
The writing was like calligraphy written with a pen. The stroke showed one’s vigour penetrated to the back of the paper, and characteristic of each character which came from the heart of a person who had practiced calligraphy.
“Remember to have breakfast.”
If Ti Xiao knew that he had neglenched the good intention of the male god, he would probably cry like a broken record.
Last night, he only drew a back figure, not even a unicycle could be provided due to the time wasted on chatting with his editor. Fans were yelling in the comments that they must drive a car to the edge of the city next time.
(T/N: unicycle, as you know a cycle with a single wheel, can also used in gay term.
Driving a car: Adult stuff. In TX’s situation, it should be a sex scene of his Bl manga.)
That big brother Passby, who successfully attracted Ti Xiao’s attention, also hadn’t had any new updates in recent days. Only a few days before the Winter Solstice, he posted a happy expression of a little yellow minion raising his hand, baring his teeth proudly together with the four words of “As pleased as Punch”.
(T/N: yellow minion as in Despicable Me.)
Ti Xiao had no idea what he was so happy about. He then turned his head away and took the cold medicine Xiao Yao bought with warm water.
There was a recent school event at Ti Nanyi’s school. When she came to eat at noon, in addition to telling Ti Xiao about the interesting things in the events, she was also impatiently giving him information about her English teacher.
“I don’t quite understand our English teacher anymore,” Ti Nanyi said angrily.
“There are many people who are difficult to understand. You are too young to be at the age to understand how complicated people are.” Perhaps due to him being sick, Ti Xiao had no strength to even use his usual poisonous tongue to argue with her and just tell her the common truth.
“That’s not the case.” Ti Nanyi put on a worried expression, “Didn’t I tell you before that he had dinner with his boyfriend.”
“I thought I was right, but I saw him with a blond young lady at school today ah! There is also a cute little devil boy who seemed to be a mixed-race who really looks like him at first sight.”
Ti Xiao didn’t speak, Ti Nanyi continued, “I didn’t think he would be this scumbag. He has a wife and a child, and yet he lied to that little brother’s feelings that day.”
Ti Xiao thought about yesterday when he happened to be in the same restaurant with Ti Nanyi’s English teacher, but he couldn’t remember the appearance of that tall man at all.
Thinking of how many dishes that were ordered yesterday and even before he had the time to eat, Xiao Yao left as soon as he said he would leave. Ti Xiao couldn’t help but pout at Xiao Yao, cursing him as a ruthless little biscuit.
Later, even if Ti Xiao had to treat the other person, he had to be made up for what he missed the other day.
“I feel sorry for that little brother.” Ti Nanyi expressed her regrets.
“Since you have time to care about a stranger…” Ti Xiao said, shrugged his shoulders, and interrupted her, “It’s better to feel sorry for me, your uncle, and throw the trash for me when you go out later.”
“What’s more,” Before she left, Ti Xiao changed to his normal voice and couldn’t help nagging a few words, “It’s almost the end of the semester, if you do well in the exams, I will buy you skincare.”
With a bag of garbage in her hand, Ti Nanyi also changed her attitude and solemnly said, “Uncle.”
Ti Xiao stood at the door, and his mind became dizzy when the cold wind blew over him.
“What?”
“I think when your brain is in disorder, you’re really cute, at least you don’t scold me anymore.”
“…..get lost!”
