As soon as Lin Qing opened the door, the phone rang, and he quickly put down his schoolbag and took off his gloves to answer the phone.

"Hello?" Mother Lin's voice came from the other side.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qing clipped the phone between his shoulders and ears and tore off his scarf with his free hand.

"Hello? Lin Qing? ”

"yes, otherwise who else will pick up the landline at home?" Lin Qing rolled his eyes.

The signal didn't seem to be good, and it started to make noise, and the sound was intermittent.

"Lin Qing, my mother's meeting today may be late. You can solve the dinner yourself, and I'll go back in the evening to bring you delicious food. ”

Mother Lin moved to an open area, Mother Lin hurriedly instructed her daughter, and hung up the phone in a hurry after receiving an affirmative answer.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Qingcai had time to tidy himself up, hey, close the door first, and then put away the schoolbag and coat.

Mom is always very busy, and she has long been used to solving dinner by herself. There were only instant noodles left in the house, and Lin Qing boiled hot water to prepare instant noodles.

"Really, I don't even have an egg at home." Lin Qing muttered as he poured hot water into the bowl.

"Knock knock... Knock knock" suddenly sounded a knock on the door.

"Here we go." Putting down the kettle, Lin Qing ran over to open the door, "Who?" ”

opened the door, and the cold air brought by opening the door made Lin Qing tremble, Lin Qing raised his head, and it was Xu Ping'an who knocked on the door.

"Lin Qing, have you eaten?" Xu Ping'an covered his mouth with one hand and coughed lightly, looking a little embarrassed, and there were two blushes on his face.

"My mom came back tonight, and I was just going to eat instant noodles." Lin Qing pointed to the bowl on the dining table in the room, "What's the matter?" ”

Xu Ping'an looked over, paused for a while, and slowly said his meaning: "If that's the case, do you want to come to my house for dinner?" My mom invited you over for dinner. ”

It was the first time Lin Qing had seen Xu Ping'an's expression, his eyes were wandering, his voice was nervous but he tried his best to make a flat appearance. She didn't speak, and Xu Ping'an stood there patiently waiting for her reply.

Lin Qing suddenly laughed, she remembered the scene where Xu Ping'an teased her before, and also learned his tone and asked, "You... Is this an invitation to me? ”

Xu Ping'an didn't seem to expect Lin Qing to react like this, and he was stunned for a while.

After two seconds, he suddenly laughed too, his eyelashes curled and the corners of his mouth smiled.

"Yes, then may I ask if Mr. Lin accepts my invitation?"

Lin Qing likes to see Xu Ping'an laugh too much, unlike Zhang Yi's laughter, a gentle person like Xu Ping'an even laughs with tenderness, the corners of his good-looking mouth are slightly raised, and he speaks with a smile, and a clear spring-like voice flows out, which can't help but make the people around him happy.

Ah, good-looking people do everything to make people pleasing to the eye. Lin Qing sighed in his heart.

Grabbing the key from the shoe cabinet, Lin Qing's eyes bent into a crescent moon with a smile.

"Let's go, I'm not going to be polite."

-------------------------------------

As soon as he entered Xu Ping'an's house, he opened the door and a warm fragrance of flowers came to him, this was the second time Lin Qing came to Xu Ping'an's house, but he was still infected by this warm home.

"Lin Qing is here." Mother Xu brought the hot meal to the table and greeted Lin Qing, "Ping'an, take a little hand wash, the meal will be ready immediately." ”

"Hey, thank you, Auntie." Lin Qing was not polite, took off his shoes and followed Xu Ping'an to wash his hands.

"Xu Ping'an, your hands are so thin, thinner than mine." Lin Qing rubbed foam on his hands, looking at Xu Ping'an, who was also washing his hands carefully, his white and slender fingers were wrapped in foam, and when he looked at it, his hands were as white as foam.

Xu Ping'an turned on the faucet to flush off the foam and said, "Maybe it's because your hands are too fat, hurry up and flush off the bubbles and let's go to dinner." ”

Lin Qing smiled and leaned over to the faucet to flush off the foam. The toilet was very small, and the two of them crowded in front of the sink seemed to make the whole space even more crowded, raising his hand and pulling a paper towel on the countertop, Lin Qing looked at Xu Ping'an in the mirror.

Xu Ping'an probably didn't expect Lin Qing to suddenly raise his head, retract his eyes and turn around sharply: "Okay, okay, let's go eat." ”

Lin Qing snickered behind him, followed out of the toilet, and sat down at the dinner table.

"Click", as soon as Lin Qing sat down, the door was opened, and a middle-aged man with a beautiful face opened the door and came in.

"Yo, there's a guest at home." The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, took off his scarf and put on slippers and walked in with a smile.

"Ah, Lao Xu is back. This is Lin Qing, our new neighbor's child. Mother Xu set up the dishes and chopsticks and waved her hand to greet, "Go wash your hands quickly, and start eating immediately." ”

The man responded, "Okay, classmate Xiaoqing, you sit down first, and my uncle will come when he goes." ”

"He's my dad." Xu Ping'an handed the chopsticks to Lin Qing and introduced them by the way.

Lin Qing nodded, the man looked about thirty years old, different from Uncle Zheng Guofu, he had an elegant temperament, his eyebrows were thick and black and neat, when he looked at people, his eyes were bright and crooked with a smile, he was very tall and wore a long brown down jacket and a black scarf. At first glance, Lin Qing thought he was the male protagonist in a Korean drama.

Xu's mother's craftsmanship is very good, and her meals are also very rich.

"Xiaoqing, eat more." Mother Xu sandwiched a piece of meat for Lin Qing, "Is Auntie's cooking still to your liking?" ”

Lin Qing hurriedly took the bowl and swallowed the food in his mouth indiscriminately, "It's delicious, Auntie's cooking is particularly delicious." ”

Xu Ping'an pulled a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Qing, and stopped it: "Mom, you just let the family eat by themselves, eat well and don't talk." ”

"Yes, yes, I don't say anything." Father Xu also spoke, and Lin Qing looked up and saw Father Xu winking at her with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Is a certain Comrade Xiao Xu distressed? "Mother Xu knows the times.

Xu Ping'an put down his job and was helpless: "Mom..."

Lin Qing was very embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Ahaha, this braised pork made by my aunt is so delicious... Ahem, ahem..."

It's over, and I'm too anxious to choke. "Ahem, cough, cough..."

Feeling that the rice grains were stuck in his lungs, Lin Qing was anxious to cough it out, but the more he coughed, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't cough it out.

Xu Ping'an hurriedly got up and poured a glass of water for Lin Qing, and handed it over to her to moisten her throat. By the way, a glance was thrown to his parents from an angle that Lin Qing couldn't see, and Xu's father and Xu mother closed their mouths and smiled at each other.

"Xiaoqing, is it better?" Mother Lin got up and patted Lin Qing on the back, slowly gently, which made Lin Qing a lot more comfortable.

"I'm sorry, it's so embarrassing hahaha." Lin Qing scratched her head, her face was flushed from the excessive cough just now, and she couldn't wait to find a crack to get into.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's my aunt who is not good, it's all because we haven't had any friends since we were young, and my aunt is so excited."

"Hey, didn't Xu Ping'an have any friends since he was a child?" Lin Qing wiped his mouth and questioned. She remembered that Shang Xinyi had also said that Xu Ping'an had no friends, and Xu Ping'an didn't talk to others much in the classroom.

It shouldn't be, Xu Ping'an is good-looking and has good grades, how can he have no friends.

"Yes, it's because he has a bad temper and doesn't like people. And..."Xu's mother's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears swirled in her eyes, as if she remembered something from the past.

"Okay, okay, let's eat, Xiaoqing is still here." Father Xu patted his wife and said comfortingly.

Lin Qing suddenly lost interest, and the remaining reason, needless to say that Xu's mother had guessed, probably because of Xu Ping'an's illness. Picking up the rice bowl, Lin Qing took a big bite of the rice, and took the opportunity to peek at Xu Ping'an with his spare eyes.

Xu Ping'an didn't react, and he had such an indifferent look, chewing the food slowly. Xu Ping'an's nose was very high, and it was more obvious when viewed from the side, and his eyebrows and eyes were faint, so he glanced at it casually, and Lin Qing's heart began to flutter.

Lin Qing's health has been very good since she was a child, and she has not had a cold and fever a few times when she has grown so big, she can't imagine what Xu Ping'an and his family have experienced in the past, and she doesn't know what Xu Ping'an will experience in the future. For the first time, Lin Qing regretted that her body was too healthy, so healthy that she couldn't even imagine the pain of heart disease.

"Auntie," After a long time, Lin Qing put down the rice bowl, held the bowl with both hands, rubbed the edge of the bowl with her index finger, as if she had made a decision, she solemnly spoke: "Auntie, don't worry, I will be Xu Ping'an's best friend in the future." ”

As if he felt that this sentence was not convincing, Lin Qing patted his chest and added: "I will be his good friend for the rest of my life!" ”

I don't know if Mother Xu was shocked by this sentence, or by Lin Qing's reaction, the whole family was silent for a while, even Xu Ping'an raised his head, and the four of them stared at each other.

It's over, isn't it too much of a reaction, too embarrassing. Lin Qing scolded himself in his heart, raised his hand and waved it on his chest, and hurriedly explained, can he take back what he said?

"No, no, Auntie, I didn't mean that... I mean..."

"Really, Xiaoqing, are you really willing to be our good friend for a lifetime?"

Mother Xu stood up excitedly, grabbed Lin Qing's hand across the dinner table, and the two shook hands like a president.

"Really? My best friend? ”

Xu Ping'an accosted beside him, propped up the table with one hand, and tilted his head to look at the embarrassed Lin Qing with a teasing smile.

Big brother, don't ask questions at this time, right?

Lin Qing turned his head to look at Xu Ping'an, his eyes squeezed, trying to make the other party feel his embarrassment and then hurriedly handed over the steps.

"Wife, Xiaoqing's hand is about to be shaken off by you." Father and son were connected, and Father Xu handed Lin Qing the steps of life.

Mother Xu reacted, quickly put down Lin Qing's hand, and began to pick up vegetables for Lin Qing again.

"Oh yes, Xiaoqing, you eat more... Auntie is so excited..."

Lin Qing had no choice but to pick up the bowl and accept all the dishes that came over.

Lin Qing herself didn't expect that this generous statement would be blurted out by her without thinking.

After that, Lin Qing, who lost in the speech contest, regretted it very much, and all his courage was probably used up when he confessed his true feelings.
