It was 9:30 a.m

Steps

Wen Xiao was still biting the rice balls that Li Xiaoyu gave him little by little. In the past, he had already finished eating, but today he ate unusually slowly, and he still had a small half of the rice ball in his hand. It's not that it's not delicious, on the contrary, it's very delicious, Li Xiaoyu made quinoa rice balls today, which also added ingredients such as carrots, onions, shiitake mushrooms, sausages and other ingredients, making the already nutritious quinoa rice balls more nutritious and delicious. Wen Xiao was also very hungry, he ate breakfast all day, that kind of thing happened at noon, he didn't eat much of the cooked food, and he didn't have time to cook and eat at night, his body instinctively urged Wen Xiao to quickly wipe out the rice balls in his hands, but he still ate them one by one as if he was counting how many grains of rice there were in the rice balls.

"Xiaoxiao, isn't it delicious?" Li Xiaoyu also found out that something was wrong, although she had already tasted the rice balls she made and thought it was quite delicious, but the kind of meal she asked Xiao today made her a little doubtful that what she made was too unpalatable.

"Ahh No. Wen Xiao quickly took a big bite to eliminate the remaining rice balls in his hand, and said while chewing the rice balls, "How can it be?" Super delicious. ”

"I know, Xiaoxiao, don't eat in such a hurry, what should I do if I choke." Li Xiaoyu gently patted Wen Xiao's back in case he was really choked, after all, it was such a big ball, and it was not easy to swallow.

"It's okay, I... Ahem. ”

Li Xiaoyu hurriedly took out another bottle of water from the bag, unscrewed the cap, and carefully asked Wen Xiao to drink it, "Xiaoxiao, you are really, you are such an adult, you eat like a child." ”

Wen Xiao felt better after drinking the water, but was a little embarrassed by Li Xiaoyu's words, "Haha, Xiaoyu, it's just that the rice balls you made are so delicious." ”

Li Xiaoyu put the bottle in his hand back into the bag, and then looked at Wen Xiao with a smile, "Well, Xiaoxiao likes it." Eh, don't move. ”

"Huh?"

Li Xiaoyu stretched out her jade hand to Wen Xiao, and her fingers gently scraped the corner of Wen Xiao's mouth, as if it was a grain of rice, which should have been left by Wen Xiao who was in too much of a hurry to eat just now. Li Xiaoyu took out another piece of paper and wrapped the rice, preparing to find a trash can to throw it away later, and gently blamed, "Xiaoxiao, I was too careless when eating." ”

"Hmm"

Wen Xiao lowered his head and blushed a little

At this time, Li Xiaoyu got up and patted her pants, "Xiaoxiao, go home, it's not too early." ”

After saying that, she began to pack up her things slowly, but when she was about to clean up, she found that Wen Xiao was still sitting in the same position as before, and she was a little strange, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" ”

“...”

"Xiaoxiao?" Li Xiaoyu thought that Wen Xiao was distracted, so she stretched out her hand and wanted to pat him on the shoulder.

Suddenly, Wen Xiao raised his head, a pair of bright eyes stared directly at Li Xiaoyu, and his hands quickly grabbed Li Xiaoyu's hand.

"Xiaoxiao?" Li Xiaoyu was a little overwhelmed by Wen Xiao's actions, her heart was beating violently, but she didn't pull out the hand that was grabbed by Wen Xiao, because she knew that Wen Xiao would not make an out-of-the-ordinary move.

"Xiaoyu, can you stay with me for a while?"

“...”

Li Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer for a while, her heart beat more violently, and the joy and shyness in her heart were intertwined.

Time passed

Because of Li Xiaoyu's silence, Wen Xiao began to fall into self-doubt, and slowly let go of Li Xiaoyu's delicate jade hand.

Li Xiaoyu also felt that Wen Xiao's hand was gradually retracting, and his heart tightened, and he hurriedly grabbed it, "Xiaoxiao,..."

Li Xiaoyu was halfway through speaking, but stopped, adding a trace of apprehension to the excited Wen Xiao's heart.

There was silence for a few more moments

Li Xiaoyu slowly let go of Wen Xiao's hand and said in a low voice, "Go home." ”

The sound of 'go home' was like a basin of cold water poured on Wen Xiao's head in October, making him feel like he was in a cold and snowy place.

"Hmm"

...

Wen Xiao accompanied Li Xiaoyu as usual and sent her back to the commercial street, but the two did not tell jokes and chat as usual.

"Okay, Xiaoxiao, it's my house in front, so there's no need to send it."

"Hmm"

Wen Xiaomuleng nodded, and was silent for a while before saying, "Then, I'll go." ”

"Well, Xiaoxiao, goodbye." Li Xiaoyu waved her hand lightly and said

"Goodbye."

Wen Xiao also turned around and left, Li Xiaoyu stood in place and watched Wen Xiao's back gradually disappear

"Hey~"

...

Sahi's home bar

Because there were no customers in the store, Li Yi'an gently wiped the wine glass at the counter.

"Dad, I'm back." At this time, Li Xiaoyu pushed the door in and greeted Li Yi'an

"Xiaoyu, did you come back so late today?"

"It's just that there's something going on in the store, so it's late, and it won't be tomorrow." Li Xiaoyu explained casually, and said, "Then, Dad, I'll go up first." ”

"Eh, wait, come here."

Hearing Li Yi'an say this, Li Xiaoyu stopped walking towards the stairs, came to the bar and looked at Li Yi'an and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I asked you to ask your classmates if they would like to work part-time. It's been almost a week, have you found anyone? ”

"Oh, this thing." was mentioned by Li Yi'an, Li Xiaoyu also remembered, "Dad, I asked all the people in our class and the class next door, and no one seems to want to come." ”

"Ahh Why, I remember you told me before that a few of your classmates wanted to come to the store to try their part-time job? Why is there no one now? Li Yi'an was very strange, obviously so many people wanted to come before, but at that time, Xiao Wang had just been working in the store for a while, and it was not bad, so he didn't choose Li Xiaoyu's classmates.

Li Yi'an couldn't figure it out, but Li Xiaoyu knew why, and explained, "Dad, now that everyone is in the third year of high school, they don't have as much free time as before, and they don't have enough time to study, so how can they still have time to work." ”

"yes, I forgot about it." Li Yi'an was very annoyed, and thought that his daughter was also in her third year of high school and was still working, so she was a little worried, "Xiaoyu, Dad knows that your grades have always been very good and stable, but you are also about to take the college entrance examination, so..."

Although Li Yi'an didn't say everything, Li Xiaoyu understood and comforted, "Dad, don't talk about this, I know what to do." Let's talk about our store, I'll ask my classmates tomorrow, but there shouldn't be much hope. ”

Li Yi'an knew that his daughter was more important, so he didn't continue to talk about her part-time job, and said, "Then Xiaoyu, you can ask casually, if there is still none, I have to prepare to post a recruitment notice on the Internet." ”

"Well, then I'll go up first." Li Xiaoyu really wants to go back to bed and sleep well now, maybe she will feel more comfortable in this way

"Go ahead." Li Yi'an looked at his tired daughter and felt a little heartache

Hearing Li Yi'an say this, Li Xiaoyu went upstairs, opened the curtain, and saw Li Yunran lying on the tatami mat wiping her eyes, as if she was crying secretly.

Li Xiaoyu quickly took off her shoes, walked over, and gently helped Li Yunran up, and found that there were two tear stains on her face, and her eye circles were also red, but she was just sobbing softly, and she didn't cry like before, and it was precisely because of this that Li Yi'an never found out

"Yunran, why are you crying?" Li Xiaoyu wiped her tears

"I... I didn't cry. Xiaoting said, she... She hates crying people the most, so... I didn't cry. Li Yunran's choked voice was completely unconvincing

Xiaoting?

Li Xiaoyu can often hear this name from Li Yunran's mouth, and guess that it should be her good classmate.

"Well, Yunran is the strongest, and she won't cry." Li Xiaoyu heard Li Yunran say this and understood why she was holding her voice and sobbing secretly, but she still didn't know why he was crying, so she asked, "Then tell my sister, what happened?" ”

"Just... It's just..."Li Yunran began to tell Li Xiaoyu about today's school

Li Xiaoyu listened patiently to Li Yunran talking about the original situation, although she said vaguely, Li Xiaoyu could roughly understand.
