In the morning, Lu Jingxing arranged for a driver to send Ye Lingxi, so the two separated after leaving the studio.

On the way back to the apartment, Ye Lingxi turned his head to look out the car window, only to find that he happened to pass by Xiao Mu's part-time coffee bookstore.

Thinking that he might not come back for a long time after moving out, Ye Lingxi wanted to say goodbye to Xiao Mu, so he turned his head and instructed the driver: "Master, I happen to have a friend near here, I want to go and see him, you can stop there in front for a while." ”

"Okay, Miss Ye. Hearing Ye Lingxi's instructions, the driver crossed the traffic light, pulled over and parked the car, and let Ye Lingxi get out of the car.

After getting out of the car, Ye Lingxi put on sunglasses, and then walked back along the traffic light.

Pushing open the glass door of the dessert shop, a familiar wind chime sounded.

Ye Lingxi thought that Xiao Mu would be here today, but behind the counter was a strange girl, who didn't seem to have a big year, but it wasn't Xiao Mu.

"Hello, do you need anything?" The strange girl saw Ye Lingxi come in, thinking that she was a new guest, and smiled sweetly.

Ye Ling paused for a moment, and then explained: "Hello, may I ask if Xiao Mu is here today? I am his friend." ”

"Friend?" The girl stared at Ye Lingxi intently, and there was a hint of suspicion in her tone: "He's not here today, I'm his classmate, do you have anything to do with him?"

Ye Lingxi didn't look like she was the same age as them, and the girl didn't know when Xiao Mu had such a beautiful and temperamental big sister as a friend, and she looked a little curious.

"It's nothing, I just happened to pass by here, thinking that he was also working part-time today, so I wanted to come and see him. Since he's not there, I won't bother. Hearing that Xiao Mu was not there, Ye Lingxi said goodbye.

Because they went to school in the same class, most of Xiao Mu's friends and girls knew each other, but they had never met Ye Lingxi.

But seeing that Ye Lingxi didn't look like a bad person, the girl stopped her and said, "Xiao Mu was originally going to come to work part-time, but his grandmother has been sick these days, so he had to ask for leave to go back to take care of his grandmother." Their house is in the house behind the street opposite, you go to the third floor and turn left for the first room. ”

Hearing that Xiao Mu's grandmother was sick, Ye Lingxi was a little regretful, but he was also a little strange: "Does he live with his grandmother? What about his parents? Why aren't his parents taking care of his grandmother?"

Maybe because she is still a high school student, the circle of contact is relatively simple, and the girl is not too wary, and said honestly: "Xiao Mu's parents were originally workers in a pharmaceutical factory, and when Xiao Mu was young, the pharmaceutical factory leaked and exploded, Xiao Mu's parents were killed in that accident, and he grew up with his grandmother since he was a child." ”

Such a cheerful boy, but with such a tragic life experience, Ye Lingxi was surprised and a little distressed.

"Little sister, thank you for telling me this, then I'll go first, I'll go to his house to see him. Ye Lingxi sincerely thanked.

Leaving the dessert house, Ye Lingxi walked towards the place the girl said.

When passing by the fruit shop across the street, Ye Lingxi thought about visiting the patient, and bought a basket of fruits by the way.

After passing through a small alley, Ye Lingxi finally found the building that the girl said.

Seeing the small building in front of him, Ye Lingxi was a little surprised, he didn't expect that in such a prosperous area, there would be such a dilapidated small building, which was so incompatible with the nearby high-rise buildings.

In the early years, it was the dormitory of a pharmaceutical factory, but the demolition issue has been put on hold because many residents refused to move out.

There was no curfew downstairs, and Ye Lingxi easily entered the building.

In the corridor is the cement staircase of the 80s of the last century, with a thick layer of ash on the surface, and a lot of old garbage. Residents piled a lot of miscellaneous items at the door, and as soon as they entered the corridor, there was a foul smell coming to their nostrils.

went up to the third floor, and Ye Lingxi quickly found the first room that turned left.

The door to the house is a red wooden door, and even the chain is the most primitive kind.

Due to the passage of time, the vermilion paint on the door has fallen off a little, leaving mottled traces.

Ye Lingxi knocked lightly on the door, and soon Xiao Mu's voice came from the house: "Who is outside?"

Knowing that he was not looking for the wrong place, Ye Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said to Xiao Mu in the room: "Xiao Mu, it's me, Ye Lingxi." ”

"Sister Lingxi, why are you here?" Hearing that it was Ye Lingxi's voice, Xiao Mu in the room hurriedly came over to open the door and said with a surprised expression.

"I happened to pass by your store just now, and I was looking for you, but you weren't there. Your classmate told me that your grandmother was sick, so I thought I'd come and see you. As he spoke, Ye Lingxi raised the fruit basket in his hand and explained: "It's too hasty, I don't have time to buy other gifts, this is the fruit basket I bought for your grandmother." ”

Seeing Ye Lingxi standing at the door with a heavy fruit basket, Xiao Mu reacted at this time, hurriedly took the basket, and let Ye Lingxi into the house: "Sister Lingxi, come in quickly, it's a little hot outside, let's go into the house and talk." ”

"Okay. Originally, Ye Lingxi felt that his sudden visit was too presumptuous, but seeing that Xiao Mu didn't care, he put his mind at ease.

Xiao Mu's home is very small, there are only two small rooms, and when it comes out, there is a small living room, and there is not even a formal kitchen, but it is cleaned very clean, and there is a warm feeling.

In the living room, there is a small table of eight immortals, which is covered with an old-fashioned lace cloth, but it is refreshing.

Xiao Mu put the fruit basket on the table, asked Ye Lingxi to sit down on the stool, and poured her a cup of hot water: "Sister Lingxi, we don't have tea at home, if you don't mind, just drink a glass of water." ”

Seeing that Xiao Mu was so polite, Ye Lingxi hurriedly took the water cup in Xiao Mu's hand and smiled at him: "Of course I don't mind, I don't like to drink tea in the first place, I really won't drink it if you make me tea." ”

"That's good. Xiao Mu smiled brightly.

Seeing Xiao Mu's neither humble nor arrogant appearance, Ye Lingxi was really emotional in his heart.

She herself is a child from a poor family, so she naturally knows the sensitivity in the hearts of children from poor families.

Originally, she was afraid that she would be rejected by Xiao Mu when she came, but she didn't expect him to mind at all.

I think it was Xiao Mu's grandmother who really took good care of Xiao Mu, and in Xiao Mu, Ye Lingxi didn't see that kind of sensitivity and sharpness.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingxi suddenly remembered and asked Xiao Mu: "By the way, Xiao Mu, I heard that your grandmother is sick, is she better now?"

"It's just a little cold, not very serious. However, she is old and not very mobile, so I came back to take care of her. She had just taken her medicine before, and now she had just fallen asleep. Xiao Mu replied.

Ye Lingxi saw that one of the doors of the two bedrooms was closed, and thought that it was the one where Xiao Mu's grandmother slept.

Hearing that Xiao Mu's grandmother was asleep, Ye Lingxi was afraid of making noise to the old man's house, so he couldn't help lowering his voice and whispered: "Your grandmother is fine, since her old man has just fallen asleep, I won't bother you." With that, Ye Lingxi took out a notebook and a pen from his bag, wrote his phone number on the note, and handed it to Xiao Mudao: "This is my phone number, if you need help with anything, just call this number." ”

Perhaps it was because of empathy that Ye Lingxi had a strange feeling for the thin and bright boy in front of him.

Ye Lingxi knew that the last thing she liked about a child like Xiao Mu was that others showed sympathetic eyes, so she didn't want Xiao Mu to feel that she was sympathizing with him, and she was a little cautious when she spoke, for fear of stabbing Xiao Mu's heart.

"Sister Lingxi, thank you, I will definitely call you if you need it. Seeing that Ye Lingxi really cared about herself, Xiao Mu smiled heartily and generously took the note with Ye Lingxi's phone number.

"Then I'll go first, you take good care of yourself and your grandmother, and I'll come to see you next time." Ye Lingxi smiled.

Originally, Ye Lingxi wanted to go by herself, but Xiao Mu had to send her to the intersection.

When he was halfway there, Xiao Mu suddenly said to Ye Lingxi: "Sister Lingxi, will you look down on me?"

"Why should I look down on you?" Ye Lingxi smiled and asked, "Is it just because your family is poor?"

It was not until this moment that Ye Lingxi discovered that the child, who looked cheerful on the surface, also had a lot of unknown secrets in his heart.

I didn't expect Ye Lingxi to ask so directly, Xiao Mu glanced at her in surprise, and then said: "Many of my classmates like to help me, but I can see that every time they see me, they have a feeling of superiority in their eyes. I couldn't afford to pay my tuition before, but my classmates held a fundraiser to help me raise money. I was grateful to them, but I didn't like the way they looked at me like they were looking at a poor worm. ”

In the end, he is still a child, and he doesn't have such a strong heart, but Ye Lingxi can see that Xiao Mu is much better than himself at that time.

She patted Xiao Mu's shoulder with a smile and said with a smile: "I won't look down on you, because I don't have parents either." You at least have a grandmother who loves you, and she is much luckier than me, so what right do I have to look down on you? If it was because I was poor, then my family conditions were not much better than you when I was a child. ”

"Sister Lingxi, I'm sorry, I didn't expect your experience to be like this, and I mentioned these unhappy things to you. "I didn't expect Ye Lingxi to be such a big star, but his life experience was so miserable, Xiao Mu hurriedly explained.

There is no way to change a person's birth, and there is no way to change what has happened, Ye Lingxi naturally doesn't care about these things.

Similarly, she also hoped that Xiao Mu wouldn't mind too much: "It's long gone, it's okay." Xiao Mu, you have to remember that only if you really don't mind, others will follow. I haven't met any of your classmates, but I think the girl you worked with was fine. You have to believe that most people have good intentions, and don't misinterpret the good intentions of others. ”

"I remembered. Xiao Mu smiled and nodded.
