Chapter 22: We Became Each Other's Youth

Li Si took Li Kong and his party back to the rented house by bus.

Although he had expected it for a long time, Li Si couldn't help but feel a little proud when he heard everyone's amazement.

The bright living room is full of clean furnishings, warm wallpaper adds some popularity to the empty room, and the interior room has three rooms with a kitchen and toilet, which is not cheap in Seoul.

Li Kong knew about his brother's mentor, so although he was surprised, he didn't react much.

But Kim Taeyeon: It's different.

Bae Yongshang pulled Kim Zhiyong around the living room in a big circle, his mouth couldn't close at all, and Kim Taeyeon, who was standing on the side, was no better at the moment, with his mouth slightly open, looking at Li Si with an incredible look.

Li Kong grabbed Pei Yongshang and the others who were wandering around the house, and had to tell everyone that this house was his brother's mentor, so as not to let them continue to think about it.

Li Si shrugged his shoulders, picked up the two boxes and walked to a guest room, placing Bae Yongsang, Kim Zhiyong, and Li Kong in this guest room, while Kim Taeyeon lived in another guest room alone, causing the three boys to protest again and again, but in the end they were all suppressed by Li Si.

"Ahh

Li sighed and grabbed Li Kong's ears and said angrily.

Li Kong was depressed, this brother is Kim Taeyeon's brother!

However, although he muttered in his heart, he had already obediently begged for mercy and admitted his mistake.

He pouted at Kim Taeyeon, who was standing behind Lee Sian and squinting at him.

Li Kong picked up his suitcase and walked to the room where he and Pei Yongshang lived together.

In fact, the house is not small, there is a wooden bed of upper and lower type, and a single folding bed, which is enough for Li Kong and the three of them to live.

After venting the depression in his heart on Pei Yongshang and Jin Zhiyong, Li Kong exhaled and walked out of the house, leaving only Jin Zhiyong and Pei Yongshang, who were both crying without tears with a chicken nest, in the back room.

"Clean up, Sora, and go out with me to buy some ingredients. ”

Li Si took out a magnetic stove from the kitchen and put it on the dining table in the living room, and just happened to meet Li Kong who walked out of the door, so he spoke to him.

Li Kong asked curiously, "What are you going to eat tonight?" Are there many ingredients to buy? If so, I will ask Yongshang to go with us." ”

Li Si smiled and patted Li Kong's head and said, "Let's eat barbecue tonight, you go and ask your friends if they want to go together, if you want to go, let's go together, we should buy more meat later." ”

Li Kong looked at his brother a little depressed, he was fourteen years old and was patted on the head, what should he do if he doesn't grow tall in the future?

"By the way, brother, let's play this time, you ?...... in terms of funds"

"Don't worry about me when it comes to money, eat with an open stomach! ”

So Lee Kong went into the back room and called Kim Taeyeon and the others out, and finally discussed, and everyone decided to go out together.

So it took about 10 minutes to change clothes, tidy up the appearance, and the four bear children followed Li Si out of the house.

Kim Taeyeon tugged at the corner of Lee Kong's clothes slightly, and looked at the somewhat unfamiliar environment and personnel on the street with curious eyes.

In the past, when I came to Seoul with my father and grandma, I usually went to the park to play or attend a party or banquet at my father's friend's house.

It was the first time she had walked slowly on the streets of Seoul like this, and she was a little excited and a little nervous at the same time.

However, looking up at Li Kong, who was walking in front of her, she felt less nervous again.

I don't know when it started, well, probably after going to and from school together, she got used to following Li Kong, but it was a little different from following her brother when she was a child.

Oh, my mother always said that my brother would protect my sister, but Jin Zhiyong didn't do a good job at this point.

Kim Taeyeon now remembers that when she was a child, she would always fight with those children who bullied Kim Ji-yong, so she looked more like a sister.

Li Kong, but he always gives himself a very down-to-earth feeling, he will buy marshmallows and all kinds of gummies for himself and Xia Yan, he will patiently tutor himself, although sometimes he will deliberately anger himself, but more often he is honestly bullied by himself, compared to Jin Zhiyong, he is more like the brother who will protect his sister in his mother's mouth.

She didn't know why she had such a unique sense of trust in Li Kong, probably because, well, he looked too honest, yes!

(Li Kong: You're honest!stinky girl!)

However, there was one thing she never understood, Li Kong always told her not to go to the abandoned school building where sports equipment was placed, which made her very strange.

"Hey, I said, what's wrong with you? Are you thinking about something weird?"

Li Kong always felt that there was a force behind him dragging him, and he turned around with some confusion, and saw Kim Taeyeon tugging at the corners of his clothes in a daze, probably thinking of something again, so he teased her.

Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses when she heard this.

Although she didn't hear what Li Kong said just now because she was entangled in why Li Kong didn't want her to abandon the teaching building, but when she saw him looking at her playfully in her eyes, Kim Taeyeon knew that this guy must be mocking himself again!

With a disgusted face and shook off the corner of the clothes in his hand, Kim Taeyeon turned around and jumped to Li Si's side, only throwing Li Kong a tsundere back of the head.

Pei Yongshang didn't know when he saw this scene again, standing aside and sighing.

Li Kong shrugged, ignored the fat man, pulled Jin Zhiyong, who was looking around curiously, and spoke.

It was only five minutes away, and Li Si took Li Kong and a few people to a shopping mall closest to his home.

After assigning tasks to a few children, Li Si took Pei Yongshang and Jin Zhiyong and walked away.

Lee Kong and Kim Taeyeon are separated, and they are going to buy some drinks and fruits.

So Lee Kong dragged Kim Tae-yeon, who was full of unhappiness on his little face, into the drink area first.

"I think this orange juice is pretty good, how is it, Taeyeon?"

"You must drink Coke when you eat barbecue! Any carbonated drink is fine, not orange juice!"

Li Kong looked at Kim Tae-yeon's disdainful eyes, tilted his head and thought about it, and took it decisively.

A large bottle of orange juice~

Kim Taeyeon was so angry that she reached out to take a bottle of Coke from the shelf, but she tragically found that she was not tall enough to reach ......

Li Kong touched her head and said earnestly: "Don't always drink those carbonated drinks in a child's day, they won't grow tall, drink more juice is good for your body, obedient~"

Then, not surprisingly, the two of them made the drink area jump......

After repeatedly apologizing to the sales staff, Lee Si took away Lee Kong and Kim Tae-yeon, who were standing on the side with their heads bowed, with a helpless face.

Seeing that they have a good relationship, why did the two of them make a fuss after a while!

As punishment, Lee Kong and Kim Tae-yeon are responsible for bringing up the meat, vegetables and fruits they have bought.

Of course, in the end, Kim Taeyeon only symbolically held the bag with orange juice, and the rest was naturally left to Lee Kong alone.

As for Jin Zhiyong and Pei Yongshang, they did not help Li Kong share some of the food bags in his hand under Li Si's "threat".

So Li Kong, who had a great grudge, lay on the sofa after carrying his things home, shouting that he was tired.

No matter how Lee Si threatened, how Kim Taeyeon and Bae Yongsang laughed, he put on a posture that he would not get up no matter what.

So everyone didn't care about him anymore and started to pack up the ingredients.

It was barely six o'clock in the afternoon, and they still had plenty of time to prepare dinner.

Li Kong lay sideways on the sofa and watched TV, turning his head from time to time to look at the people who were talking, laughing and busy in the kitchen.

Friends, family.

His eyes gradually drifted a little, and his thoughts wandered.

What he had longed for, that he had imagined, was now in front of his eyes, in front of his tentacles.

He felt satisfied now.

For him, happiness is simple.

Being able to be with your family and have friends with you is the greatest happiness.

"Hee-hee~"

The sudden chill on his face and the itching from his nose woke Li Kong up.

When I looked up, I saw Kim Taeyeon holding a vegetable leaf that was still dripping in her hand, and she was looking at her with a playful expression.

Needless to say, it must have been this girl who threw the water from the leaves in her face.

"You must be thinking about something bad again! You didn't react to calling you so many times just now, you look so stupid in a daze, oh~ ugly. ”

Lee Kong narrowed his eyes slightly, and instantly grabbed Kim Taeyeon's wrist, took advantage of Kim Taeyeon's stunned time to pull out the leaf she was still holding in her hand, quickly wiped a few handfuls of the leaf on her little face, and then jumped off the sofa and hid in her room.

Kim Taeyeon came back to her senses and could no longer see Lee Kong's shadow.

"He just wiped my face with this?"

Looking at the vegetable leaf in his hand, which was no longer shapeless, Kim Taeyeon's little face gradually turned red, and the green tendons on his neck loomed.

"Ahh

Lee Si was cutting pork belly in the kitchen when Kim Tae-yeon's angry screams suddenly came from the living room, which scared his hand and almost cut his finger.

"Ahh......h

Li Si put down the knife, glanced at the living room a little helplessly, and held his forehead with an elevated blood pressure.

Pei Yongshang and Jin Zhiyong, who were washing the dishes, looked at each other and smiled.

Pei Yongshang sniffed and said to Li Si: "Brother, you don't know, when I was in Quanzhou, the two of them were like this almost every day after they got acquainted with each other, and they often made chickens and dogs jump, and we have long been used to it." ”

Li sighed speechlessly, feelings are still the norm.

I looked sadly at the furnishings of the house that I had worked so hard to get in place.

I don't know how many things will be neat and intact here when these little ghosts are gone, alas......

**************

"Cheers!"

After a long period of busy work, when plates of meat, lettuce, and fruit were put on the table, it was close to half past seven in the evening.

Lee Kong walked out the door and hid from Kim Taeyeon for a while, and finally pretended to admit defeat and let the little girl hammer a few punches before calming her anger.

At this moment, everyone sat around the table, raised their drinks and clinked glasses to each other, celebrating this sumptuous barbecue dinner.

"Alas, by the way, wait a minute!"

As if he remembered something, Li Si stood up and ran to the back room, and after a while, he walked out with a camera in his hand.

"This is the camera that my tutor lent to my classmates, I haven't used it a few times for so long, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today, come, I'll take a few pictures of you. ”

Hearing that they were going to take pictures, Bae Yongsang, Kim Ji-yong, and Kim Tae-yeon immediately put down their chopsticks and posed for themselves.

Li Kong grabbed a large mouthful of barbecue meat and fed it into his mouth as if he didn't care, showing an expression of enjoyment.

"Click!"

The image is frozen in a small camera.

Kim Taeyeon, who is obediently sitting next to Lee Kong and posing with scissor hands, Kim Ji-yong and Bae Yong-sang, who are holding each other's shoulders and smirking at the camera, and Lee Kong, who is chewing with his mouth puffed out and raises his hands to make a rabbit ear shape behind Kim Tae-yeon's head when the camera presses the shutter.

This is their youthful memory, with the breath of summer, no worries, only laughter.

Lee Kong smiled and turned his head, met Kim Taeyeon's clear smiling eyes.

In this way, we became each other's youth.
