Chapter 13: Neighbors
After more than a month, Xiaotao studied very seriously every day, preparing for the exam, during that time, it seemed that the gods set up an enchantment to protect her, no demons and monsters can be demons, she is quietly in class every day, eating, looking for Leng Ruo to ask questions, and finally of course easily got the highest reward for the exam. But Xiaotao is not as eager to move out as before, she thinks everything is fine now, the most important thing is that the cold dishes are better than the cafeteria~
After the exam, it was the winter vacation, and Xiaotao was wild outside for half a year, and he also missed his grandparents, so he went home as soon as possible. On the day of leaving, just in time for Tu Linglai to be in Leng Ruo's house, Xiao Tao thought:
"Now you can be alone with your cold~ anymore, don't think I'm an eyesore anymore."
Before going out, I saw Tu Ling chasing Leng Ruoyi running around the house, saying something like "don't be so ruthless", "he can't do it alone", "just accompany him" and the like, like a little daughter-in-law begging her husband to accompany her to go shopping and buy clothes.
Xiao Tao's life at home is to talk to her grandparents every day, talk about school, and then go to the Internet and the like, since the AI century, Xiao Tao has no friends to go out to play in her hometown, but she is not very interested in things like friends gatherings, and it is better to take online classes to have a better heart.
Grandpa likes to sit on the old rattan chair on the balcony and bask in the sun, listening to his Peking Opera on the old radio that is about the same age as Xiaotao's father, Xiaotao calls it "second uncle", which is intended to ridicule grandpa for facing the radio every day like a son, and he also accompanies grandpa like a well-behaved son. And this "second uncle" was actually useless many years ago, not to mention the aging of parts and the discontinuation of production, even if it was replaced with new parts, now the sky is covered by a high-speed network, so old antiques have long been unable to receive any signal, except for the rustling sound can not make any sound, it has long been a piece of scrap metal, but grandpa still faces the "second uncle" every day, humming by himself.
Later, when Xiao Tao was 8 years old, he suddenly unloaded the "second uncle" one day, tinkered with it for a while, and then put the "second uncle" back to its original appearance. Since then, grandpa wants to listen to the play, so he directly shouts the name of the play he wants to listen to to the "second uncle", and the "second uncle" will start playing, and there is no "second uncle" who doesn't know, grandpa is full of praise for the "second uncle" true god, and also said that there are some plays that are very old, grandpa only heard it once or twice when he was a child, and then no one sang it anymore, thinking that he would never hear it again in this life.
Xiao Taoxin said: "Can it be god~ I spent more than a week searching the whole network, whether it is traditional or new or modern opera, a total of nearly 6,000 Peking Opera repertoire have been downloaded." ”
Xiao Tao looked at his grandfather, who was listening to the "second uncle" leisurely at this time, and recalled himself when he was a child, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "I'm really a genius~"
After dinner, Xiaotao logged on to the website of the Youth Science and Technology Competition, this website will broadcast the science and technology competitions held in various countries and regions, at this time, the highest number of online viewers is the global e-sports competition held by the Lion City, Xiaotao clicked in, the scene is brightly lit, and the audience is pressed with a crowd, just like the large-scale concert scene of the superstar, 6 people per team in the competition area, hanging the national flag of their country high above them, and the commentators speak Chinese, English, French, Russian and other languages, and they can't hear what they are saying at all. Xiaotao hurriedly clicked on the "language" in the upper right corner, selected Chinese, and then only Chinese was left in the live broadcast, and the text was all changed to Chinese characters.
Suddenly, she heard a familiar name, and the camera happened to switch to the Chinese team. Next to it is Tu Ling! There are a few boys in the school who always follow Tu Ling.
Xiao Tao muttered in a low voice: "I haven't seen you go to the Lion City for a few days~"
Xiao Tao really looks at it, every time the camera cuts to Leng Ruo's angular side face, Xiao Tao will stretch his neck in front of the screen, because Leng Ruoyi is the main force of the team, so he will often give him the lens, so Xiao Tao will stretch his neck forward from time to time, like a little turtle with its own BGM, grandma came over with a plate of grapes and put it next to the computer, look at her like this, and pinch Xiao Tao's shoulders with both hands, and straighten back,
said: "This kid is hunched over when he learns." ”
Grandma, how do you know that this back is to watch the handsome guy and watch the camel~
In other words, I lived with Leng Ruoyi every day before, and I didn't feel anything, sometimes I thought he was very good, sometimes I thought he was as annoying as Tu Ling, but these days when I went back to my hometown, I didn't see Leng Ruoyi, she always felt that the days were boring and dry, and sometimes before going to bed at night, she would think of the days of studying together and fighting. Every time I want to send a message to Leng Ruoyi, I don't know what to send or in what capacity~
Now that she can finally see Leng Ruoyi's face, she has to watch it without missing a glance, staring at the screen intently, for fear that which lens will change too quickly and miss it. After the victory, there was a boiling cheer across the screen, and there were millions of messages under the screen, all of which were all kinds of beautiful words. Then the on-site reporter began to interview the contestants of the winning team, and when the interview was cold, Xiaotao turned on the little turtle mode again. After asking some boring questions, the journalist asked:
"Is the cold god single now?"
!!!
This question!
Xiao Tao didn't know why he was so nervous when he heard this question, so he held his breath and waited for Leng Ruoyi's answer.
He said, "No." ”
"It's not! No! It wasn't! When wasn't it?? Xiao Tao barked in his heart.
The reporter also asked with a gossip face with a capital letter: "Huh? The great god already has a girlfriend? ”
Leng Ruoyi's mouth rose slightly, shook his head and said, "No." ”
Xiaotao was dizzy when he heard it, and the reporter was also dizzy, so he turned to ask other questions. The message at the bottom instantly exploded, basically "Leng Dashen is not single", "Heartbreaking", "It's not a girlfriend, that's BF" Anyway, there are all kinds of conjectures, and there are also "Leng Dashen has obtained a certificate with his boyfriend", and after a while, the message has exceeded 10 million! No one cares about the international competition just now, no one cares about the superb skills of these contestants, and no one cares about their red eyes.
Xiao Taoxin said: "It's really ten years of work off the stage, not worth a minute~"
Xiao Tao turned off the computer, a little lost, and thought: "Won't it really be a good match with Tu Ling for a hundred years, right?" ”
In the next few days, it is very strange that Xiaotao's mobile phone and computer often flash back, or suddenly receive a terrifying picture, Xiaotao scolded in his heart: "Which bear child, indiscriminately developing viruses, came to me!" "These virus firewalls can't stop it, Xiaotao can only clear it by himself, get rid of it and come back in a few days, Xiaotao is speechless, and then simply ignore it, don't go online, let it go, and watch TV with grandparents.
One day, Xiao Tao accompanied his grandparents out for a walk, and there were workers moving some sofas, beds, chairs and other brand-new furniture to the house opposite the door, and the whole corridor was very crowded. When he finally came out, his grandfather began to sigh, saying that the neighbor who had lived in the opposite door for more than 20 years sold the house and moved in with his son, and then began to talk about Xiaotao's father not having the conscience to run so far. Xiao Tao just listened to the old man's complaints, and thought:
"I was worried that the new neighbor would not like the layout of the old house, and it would be greatly changed, so that it would make noise to the grandparents, but now it seems that the furniture is placed, and you can move in with your bag, and the new neighbor is also considerate."
The next day, after dinner, Xiaotao was about to go downstairs to throw out the garbage, when she was putting on her shoes in front of the door, someone happened to knock on the door, she held the garbage bag in her left hand, and jumped down to the door to open the door with her shoes that were not yet worn. As soon as the door opened, Xiao Tao seemed to have seen a ghost and almost screamed out, and he had a feeling of fleeing for decades with a deep vendetta in the sea of blood, and finally being caught by the enemy. Cold as one! Stand in the doorway with a fruit basket! Xiao Tao tried his best to lower his voice and said:
"Why are you here? Aren't you in the Lion City? ”
Leng Ruo smiled and said, "I'm here..."
Grandma's voice came from the house: "Xiaotao, who's it?" Then came the sound of my grandmother's footsteps coming over.
Xiao Tao hurriedly signaled Leng Ruoyi not to speak, snatched the fruit basket in his hand, and then gave Leng Ruoyi the bag full of garbage in his hand, and then pushed Leng Ruoyi and closed the door....
