Chapter 14: Fireflies and Summer Cicada

Li Mo ate the noodles happily, but he didn't expect that the noodles that Li Lingyu picked out for him were leftovers from her.

Because Jin Xuan was like that before, she would let Li Mo help her solve what she couldn't eat.

After sucking the noodles, Li Mo didn't wait for the three roommates who went upstairs to eat the steamed vegetables, but walked around the campus alone.

The river breeze blew on his face, blowing the hair in front of Li Mo's forehead and the branches of the willow trees on the side of the road.

Li Mo didn't just wander around the campus, he wanted to go to the school playground to see if there were any empty bottles that had been thrown away.

Basketball players usually buy water and throw empty bottles on the side of the court after drinking.

There is a high chance of picking up empty bottles around the basketball court.

It's the time of September, and the autumn tiger is in full swing.

Because of the hot weather, people who like to play choose to go out at night to avoid the high temperature during the day.

The sports field of Kurong Middle School is a plastic sports field on the side near Jinfeng Mountain.

If Kurong Middle School had not been funded by the big company rumored by the outside world, it would have been another ten years before it appeared in a small western county like Surabaya County.

At night, the sports field is very bright under the giant searchlights at the four corners.

On this side of the rubber runway, no one played football on the green field, but there were some freshmen chatting on the grass in twos and threes.

There are teachers running on the plastic track in the outer ring, but there are very few people.

Unlike on a college campus, high school students generally have very few people who go for a run on the playground.

The only place with a lot of people is the basketball court on the right.

There are people playing on all eight basketball courts.

Among the players are teachers, students from the school, and people from outside the school.

Kurong Middle School is in the northern suburbs of the city, and Li Mo's home is in the northern suburbs of the city.

In the past, he helped people carry things to Kurong Middle School, but he never went into the depths of the school.

As for the sports grounds, it is naturally the first time to visit here.

The first time he saw the plastic runway, Li Mo still felt a little novel, and the soft touch of stepping on it was very addictive.

He has always had a steady personality, and he wanted to jump on it.

When he arrived at the basketball court, Li Mo found that there was a rectangular court next to the basketball court, with a white net in the middle of the court and a circle of metal nets around it.

Li Mo saw such a venue for the first time, and was a little curious about what kind of venue this was, so he couldn't help but look at it twice.

As he observed the tennis court, which he couldn't name, a round basketball flew over from the basketball court next to him and happened to roll near Li Mo.

"Who's that, pick up the ball!"

Li Mo didn't think much about it when he heard this, picked up the basketball and threw it to them. When he threw the ball, he realized that the person who asked him to pick up the ball was actually the son of the 'big leader' Tan Bin at noon, that is, Tan Sui, the big back.

He took the ball thrown by Li Mo, and gave him a middle finger like he did when he first met Li Mo.

The difference is that at noon, when he raised his middle finger, there was a green light on the top of his head, and now when he raised his middle finger, there was black gas on the top of his head.

Li Mo was a little surprised, he kindly picked up the basketball for him, but he was still angry with himself.

I guess I'm jealous that I'm too handsome...

Well, it should be.

"Tan Sui, do you know the deflated three on the side?"

A flat-headed guy on the basketball court and Tan Xin's team bumped Tan Xin's arm with his elbow and asked.

"I don't know, it's just that he looks a little unsightly. A man looks like a. ”

"Haha, I think too!"

Li Mo didn't know that there were two people on the basketball court discussing that he looked like a girl, if he knew, he would definitely give him two thumbs up, he could still play basketball when he was blind like this, it was really amazing!

Except for the slightly long hair, he Li Mo has nothing to do with femininity at all.

After walking around the basketball, Li Mo found that he was not the only one who was picking up empty bottles, but also an old woman with a snakeskin bag, gray hair, and a rickety figure.

Li Mo was not surprised that there were other people who were also picking up bottles, although picking up bottles might seem humiliating to some. But for people like Li Mo who have experienced being woken up hungry in the middle of the night, being hungry may be more terrible than humiliation.

A few years ago, Li Mo saw someone rummaging through the trash cans looking for something to sell, and he wanted to try his luck there.

If Jin Xuan hadn't stopped him at that time, he might have really become a member of the army of rummaging through garbage.

Li Mo didn't go to grab the bottle from the old woman, first, he didn't want to, and second, he knew that he would do that. Those young people who play on the court may have a few unsightly ones to clean up.

Chinese people, in some ways, are they really cute, aren't they?

The old woman picked up the small half-bag of bottles, walked around the field again, and finally left the court with the snakeskin bag after finding that there were no bottles.

There are about 30 small half-bags of empty bottles, because they will be deflated when they are picked up.

It is likely that the thirty-odd bottles were collected by the old man after waiting on the court for hours.

And more than 30 bottles, if you sell them at a scrap store, will be less than a dollar.

After the grandmother left, Li Mo walked around the court alone to see if he could be lucky enough to pick up one or two empty bottles that the grandmother hadn't found.

After walking around, Li Mo was a little stunned, and there were no empty bottles on the entire basketball court.

There were still a few bottles that had not been drunk, but Li Mo could not take away the water that others had not finished drinking.

After thinking about it, Li Mo walked in the direction of the football field.

He found that the two searchlights on the sports field, far from the basketball court, had gone out.

Perhaps because there were not many people there, the management turned off the lights early.

Li Mo was a little withdrawn and didn't like crowded places, so he walked straight to the side where the lights were turned off, and then found a place where no one was around.

On summer nights, the sky is clear and clear, the moon shyly shows half of its face in the sky, and the surrounding stars twinkle faintly.

The starry sky is deep and mysterious, and the chirping of cicadas from time to time on the ground from all around, as well as the whispers of students in the distance.

Li Mo was lying on the ground, looking at the starry sky with his eyes open, thinking about what Jin Xuan would be doing at this time?

He and Jin Xuan are neighbors, and Li Mo's father is a cripple who works night shifts in a factory and has little time to take care of Li Mo.

Of course, maybe even if he had time, he wouldn't take the time to take care of Li Mo, but would spend money to get drunk himself.

When Li Mo didn't eat when he was a child, Jin Xuan would steal food from her house and give it to him, and when he was beaten by his father Li Zhipeng, Jin Xuan would sing to him when he secretly wiped his tears.

The place where Li Mo was lying was close to the goal on the left side of the football field, and there was a bunker for the triple jump on the side of the nearby runway.

This area is very close to the mountains, and there are many mountain mosquitoes.

These mountain mosquitoes are the size of a thumb, and they will swell a big bag when you kiss you, and the power is much greater than that of ordinary mosquitoes.

Because they were afraid of these guys, not many students stayed here.

Not long after Li Mo lay down here, a white figure suddenly walked behind the goal with small steps, and stopped with his back to Li Mo.

Li Mo saw her out of the corner of his eyes, but he didn't say anything.

He wanted to see what this sneaky man was up to.

"Could it be somewhere?" Li Mo thought to himself.

After Li Mo found the man standing still, he first shook his little head and looked around.

It seemed to be checking to see if there was anyone around, but because the light was very dim and the reason was covered by the net, she didn't seem to find Li Mo lying on the ground.

When he saw that there was no one, the man let out a long breath and began to dance.

Her figure swayed in the cold night, her toes swirling on the fluffy grass.

Li Mo later learned that the dance she was dancing at that time was called ballet.

The moonlight sprinkled on her face, allowing Li Mo to see her face clearly.

It's none other than Li Lingyu.

She was spinning in the night sky, summer cicadas and frogs were playing for her, and a firefly flew in to dance with her.

Li Lingyu didn't seem to like fireflies dancing with her, giggling to chase the little bugs with glowing butts.

She ran and ran, and then stepped on Li Mo's body.
