Chapter Sixty-Eight: In the Sea of Crowds, There Are You and Me
In the early morning of winter, in the park, where few people get up early to exercise, two people start their morning jog around the frozen lake from early in the morning.
Behind Zhou Li, the panting Lu Qiaoshui's footsteps had begun to slow down, and finally regardless of Zhou Li in front of him, he stood in place and held his knees and began to gasp.
Zhou Li, who noticed that the little girl behind him was not there, turned back again, looked at her with an annoyed look on her face and couldn't help laughing: "It's only been a few minutes, can't hold on?" ā
Lu Xiaoshui glared at him, gasped and complained in a low voice: "Why do you want to get up early in winter!" Morning jogging should be in the summer, right? ā
"Wake up early and exercise." Zhou Li scratched her hair: "Do you want to learn from the old man and the old lady to do radio gymnastics at home?" ā
Lu Xiaoshui patted the hand on the top of his head angrily: "Even if you want to exercise, you don't need to pull me, it's easy to get wrinkles if you don't get enough sleep!" ā
"Although you're no longer a child, there's no need to a thirty-year-old, right?" Zhou Li squatted in front of her with a smile: "Don't exercise a little more, but you'll gain weight, and you need to exercise more, right?" ā
Lu Qianshui's physical fitness is not bad, but it is not good, although she can pass the physical education class, but Zhou Li still hopes that she can exercise more. Although I don't want her to be as strong as an ox, at least she needs to be a little youthful, right? Squatting at home every day, after a long time, mushrooms will grow.
He was like Lu Qiaoshui when he was so young, but he was pulled up by his sister every day to run. Now Lu Qiaoshui is like himself at that time, his sister is walking like flying in front, and he is panting in the back...... Hmm, this is also a passing on the 'fine tradition'?
"I don't care." Lu Qiaoshui began to play tricks, turned his head and said, "I can't run anymore." ā
Zhou Li thought helplessly for a long time, and finally could only admit that it was unrealistic to build the city of Rome in one day. Lu Qiaoshui is also tired today, and he has run seven or eight laps with him, which can be said to be a significant improvement compared to the past.
Seeing Lu Qiaoshui's panting appearance, Zhou Li nodded: "Okay, let's stop here today and continue tomorrow." ā
"Tomorrow?!" Lu Xiaoshui lowered his head in frustration, and muttered in despair: "Just run away from home." ā
"Hey, be serious!" Zhou Li patted her head and said solemnly: "If you dare to run around, I will hang you up and beat you." ā
Lu Wanshui glared at him in disbelief: "You don't dare!" ā
Zhou Li snorted and laughed: "Then you ran away and tried it?" ā
Lu Wanshui glared at him angrily, and was about to say a few words such as 'What if the old lady ran away, you have the ability to really beat me', but as soon as his steps moved, his brows furrowed.
Sensing the abnormality of her body, she was a little embarrassed and silent, and after a long time, under Zhou Li's puzzled eyes, she muttered in a low voice with some shame: "...... I can't walk anymore. ā
Well, she was pulled up by Zhou Li to exercise in the winter, and after running for so long, her feet were weak.
"Tsk, I really can't do anything about you bear child." Zhou Li turned around helplessly and bent down: "Come up, I'll take you to breakfast." ā
Although Lu Qiaoshui could hang on him and bite him like a sloth when he was playing at home, he was a little hesitant at this time.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Li turned his head to look at him suspiciously.
"No, nothing." Lu Wanshui lowered his face and still had a little red after exercising: "If you go a little lower, I won't be able to jump." ā
Zhou Li could only squat in front of her helplessly, letting her pull the back collar and hook her neck to lean up.
Feeling the light body falling on his back, Zhou Li slowly stood up and nodded with a sigh: "Well, it's not as heavy as I thought." ā
On his back, Lu Wanshui pulled his hair and complained dissatisfiedly: "I'm very thin, okay!" ā
"Well, you ate so many snacks, I thought you'd get fatter."
Zhou Li said, laughed to himself, ignored the small action of Lu Qiaoshui's revenge behind him, and walked towards the exit of the park on the somewhat slippery snow.
Although he was used to the weight of Lu Qianshui, it was the first time for Zhou Li to carry her on his back like this, and it was the first time he felt Lu Qianshui's lightness and growth through thick clothes.
Behind him, Lu Qiaoshui stopped making trouble after a while, his head was propped up on his shoulder, and he suddenly yawned a little sleepily.
The soft breath blew on Zhou Li's neck, making him feel a little itchy, but more of a strange feeling that he had never experienced before.
It has only been two or three days after the heavy snowfall, the snow has not completely melted, Zhou Li's feet will make a creaking sound when he steps on it, and the extra sound seems to be absorbed by the snow, and the hustle and bustle of the city in the early morning is extremely distant.
In the silence, Zhou Li suddenly said: "Weak water, I went to work today, do you have any plans?" ā
Suddenly hearing Zhou Li say this, Lu Xiaoshui remembered that Zhou Li actually had a job. This sudden discovery made her suddenly feel a little lost for some reason.
After thinking about it for a while, she didn't have any plans, and said a little sullenly: "I'll stay at home." ā
"Aren't you going to go out for a walk? It's good at a friend's house. Zhou Li asked, "I remember the last time I saw your friend at home, what was that little girl's name?" What is often Xi? ā
Hearing Zhou Li's voice, Lu Qianshui couldn't help laughing: "People are not surnames, they are compound surnames." ā
Zhou Li sighed helplessly: "I've met once, how can I remember?" Why don't you go and play with her? ā
"Forget it, the last time she called to say that she was going back to her hometown with her parents for the New Year." Lu Xiaoshui said a little boredly: "Let's talk about it when she comes back." ā
Zhou Li turned his head to look at Lu Qiaoshui's eyes on his shoulder, paused in his footsteps, and after thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "Then you can go to work with me." ā
Lu Wanshui's eyes lit up, and he soon became a little lost again: "Forget it, what do you do with me." Didn't you say last time that you didn't go for half a month, and the boss was angry? ā
"Haha, that's another story." Zhou Li laughed: "The boss is actually very talkative, and besides, she won't say anything after she sees you."
"Well, okay then." Lu Qiaoshui leaned on Zhou Li's back and nodded reluctantly: "You have to let me go." ā
Hmph, I don't really want to go at all, I won't be bored if I'm alone, but since you're so sincere in asking me...... IāI'm going to make it difficult for a while.
Hearing the meaning of these words, the corners of Zhou Li's mouth twitched, and he continued to sigh helplessly.
Forget it, if you're a girl, it's pretty cute if you're not honest occasionally. I won't poke her this time, so I won't take her as an example...... Well, not as an example.
ā¦ā¦
Although he let Zhou Li carry a section, but when he was about to leave the gate of the park, Lu Qiaoshui struggled not to let Zhou Li carry it, although his feet were still a little numb, he still jumped off him and insisted on walking by himself.
Zhou Li really didn't understand the little girl's inexplicable insistence, but if she insisted on walking, let her go, at most hold her hand, and be careful not to let her fall.
Out of the park gate is the snack street, at six or seven o'clock in the morning, there are many families open the door to buy breakfast, after all, there are several residential areas here, there are many people who get up early to work and don't take care of eating, not far from a few middle schools, students who are close to the college entrance examination are also used to eating here.
Zhou Li had eaten here many times before, and he was familiar with it, so he directly pulled Lu Qianshui to a steamed bun shop.
After arranging for Lu Xiaoshui to sit down, he turned his head to the kitchen and shouted, "Five yuan of steamed buns, and two bowls of tofu brain." ā
What he didn't expect was that, just like the front and rear feet, as soon as they entered the door with the front foot, there was a police car parked outside the door with the back foot.
Wang Yin, who had been busy in the middle of the night, got out of the car, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and yawned. In the back seat, a young man named Luo Bai raised his head from his mobile phone and looked at this piece with some nostalgia.
He used to live and grow up here, and if it weren't for what happened three years ago, he might still be going to college here, marrying a wife, watching his son grow up, and growing old himself, right?
After going around the scene all night last night, Uncle Yun almost asked Wang Yin to take them to turn over a radius of several hundred meters of the hotel where the explosion occurred. seemed to have something to gain, but he didn't say anything, and when it was almost dawn, he excused himself to be sleepy, leaving Wang Yin to take Luo Bai around, and went to the hotel booked by the local police station to make up for sleep
Luo Bai knew that Uncle Yun was taking care of his personal emotions and hadn't come back for three years, and he also hoped that he could get in touch with more things related to him, so although he was a little disappointed, he didn't object.
"Luo ...... Sir, breakfast here is good, eat it here. ā
Wang Yin was still a little hesitant, not knowing what to call this young man who looked much younger than himself, and in the end he could only call him Mr. Luo.
A little sleepy yawned, he coped with Uncle Yun's problems all night, he had already felt exhausted, and now he was sleepy.
Rubbing his cold hands in the cold wind, he said, "After eating, I'll call someone to take you around to Shangyang." ā
"Hmm." Luo Bai nodded, and without waiting for him, he walked into the store first, and then found that the store was basically full.
The boss behind the cash register was reluctant to let the customer slip out of his hand, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, this will be a bit crowded, why don't you wait a little longer?" ā
Next to Luo Bai, Wang Yin rubbed his sleepy eyes a little helplessly, and was about to discuss it with Luo Bai, but he didn't expect Luo Bai, who had little patience, to walk directly to the corner of the hall.
He doesn't like to wait for people, preferring to simply find a position.
The hall was almost full, and only two empty seats remained at the table that Zhou Li had made.
Standing behind Zhou Li, he tapped the table lightly with his fingers and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, is there anyone here?" ā
