Chapter 007: Suspicion & Rhetorical Question

Even Ji Lan, who grew up with her, still often admonishes her: Please speak normally.

The crowd began to disperse, and Ji Lan's head twisted around looking for Yu Limiao's figure, but in the end it was fruitless.

Lu Xiaomi, who was standing in front of him, stretched out his finger, pointed to his face, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "No, Ji Lan, are you looking for that girl?" ”

Ji Lan brushed aside her hand, "Don't make trouble." ”

"I'm not making trouble, I'm telling you to be serious." Lu Xiaomi crossed his waist and muttered, "From just now to now, you don't ask me how I went home today, just like an ostrich, looking around, not looking at the girl, but looking at the boy?" ”

"Tsk," Ji Lan put down his schoolbag and carried it in his hand, "Didn't your dad pick you up today?" ”

The corridor began to become empty, with Ji Lan walking in front and Lu Xiaomi following behind.

"Hmm. The old man is on a business trip, let me go back with you, so that he can rest assured. Otherwise......"

Ji Lan hurriedly said, "Otherwise, why would you come to me, right?" ”

"Hee-hee, you guessed it. Let's go, my little henchman, let's go home together. After speaking, Lu Xiaomi raised his head and walked in front of Ji Lan very angrily.

Next to the bus stop sign, Ji Lan didn't see Yu Limiao, and he also looked at the exit opposite for a long time, until 261 stopped steadily in front of him.

Seeing that he wasn't leaving, Lu Xiaomi gently pulled the corner of his clothes, "Lanlan, are you leaving?" ”

"I know!" Ji Lanruo added it at the end of the sentence, indicating that he was very unhappy at the time.

The front and rear doors slowly closed, and the red light at the intersection in front of it was dazzling in the sun, and the passengers of the car were waiting for it to turn green.

At this time, a seemingly thin girl on the right side of the road ran to the door of car 216 with a schoolbag in her arms.

The driver's master pressed the door button again, Yu Limiao's face was flushed, and after swiping the card, she looked at the driver and smiled, revealing a pair of small tiger teeth, and there was a pair of rabbit teeth in the middle.

This smile instantly made Ji Lan, who was standing not far from the front car door, drunk.

From Yanghan No. 1 Middle School to Sunbird Community, there are thirteen stations in between, and it generally takes fifteen minutes.

The sky began to change outside, the car was stuffy, and there were many intersections, every time I stopped and started again, a slightly cool wind outside drilled through the front window, and the Buddha blew her bangs on Yu Limiao's cheeks, revealing her white forehead.

"It's like a flower." Ji Lan said silently in his heart, and couldn't help but smile on his face, he didn't know it.

Lu Xiaomi inadvertently turned his head sideways, saw it, frowned, looked at Ji Lan's line of sight, and was suddenly stunned.

When the bus arrived, Yu Limiao turned around and got off through the back door, while Ji Lan was pulled down by Lu Xiaomi from the front door.

"Lan Lan, that girl just now is from the class next door to you, right?" Lu Xiaomi grabbed his hand and shook it hard, and when he turned his head and looked stunned, she laughed.

"Actually, if you don't say it, I know, I just asked her to give you breakfast before."

After speaking, Ji Lan stopped, "When is it?" ”

Lu Xiaomi grabbed his hand again, "Just before, I knew it was wrong for me to buy you breakfast without your permission, but we are childhood sweethearts, you are so good to me, it's not a big deal for me to buy you breakfast." ”

Ji Lan withdrew his hand, "Don't buy me anything in the future." "Then continue to walk to Building 39.

"Lanlan, the old man is not at home, my mother must still be playing mahjong now, can I go to your house to sit for a while?" Lu Xiaomi begged.

Coincidentally, Ji Lan's mother happened to see the two of them on the way back from buying vegetables from the supermarket, and then naturally invited Lu Xiaomi to eat at home and then go home.

Ji Lan sighed helplessly, didn't take the elevator with them, and chose another one.

"Lanlan, your mother is still as good to me as ever, but you have changed, hum." Lu Xiaomi grimaced at him as he spoke, and when he was done, he took a bite of the cut apple and sat on the sofa watching TV.

Ji Lan's parents are both civil servants, and their working income is stable.

Occasionally, he will work overtime, just like today, Ji Lan's father has not come home yet.

"Auntie, when is Uncle coming home?" Lu Xiaomi probably felt that he had been watching rudeness while eating, so he got up and went to the kitchen to ask.

"Soon, soon, your uncle is already on his way home. Are you hungry? ”

When Ji Lan heard this, she sneered, "She's been eating all the time sitting there, what's there to be hungry for." ”

"You kid, Xiao Mi is rarely coming to our house to play now, don't be so rude." As he spoke, he handed Lu Xiaomi a pair of chopsticks, "Come and taste the shredded green pepper meat made by Auntie, or is it not the taste it used to be?" ”

"Wow, Auntie, your cooking skills must be good in the restaurant, I can eat this full plate in one go." Lu Xiaomi's saliva flowed.

"I'm back."

After hearing the sound, Ji Lan's mother beckoned him to pour a glass of water and hand it over to his father.

"Xiao Mi is here." Ji Lan's father took a sip of water and said.

"The dishes are all fried and ready to eat."

Ji Lan helped clean up the table and brought a chair for Lu Xiaomi.

"Ji Lan, your Uncle Yu has moved to our community, after eating, the two of us will visit."

Ji Lan: "Hmm. ”

The shredded meat in Lu Xiaomi's mouth fell into the bowl, "Uncle, why haven't I heard of the "Uncle Fish" you said?" ”

"It's none of your business, eat." Ji Lan said mercilessly, and then sandwiched a piece of braised pork for Lu Xiaomi, "Don't look at me, eat your own food." ”

After the meal, Ji Lan's mother cut half a watermelon, Lu Xiaomi loves watermelon the most, but now she can't eat it at all.

"Mom, Lu Xiaomi is going home, and my dad and I went to the supermarket to buy some fruit before visiting Uncle Yu."

"Okay, maybe I'll come to you when I'm done washing the dishes."

After getting out of the elevator, Lu Xiaomi grabbed the strap of the schoolbag with both hands and glanced at Ji Lan, "I want to go and see it too." ”

"No, it's our family's business. It's not too early, and if you don't go back, your mom will be worried. Ji Lan spoke quickly.

"I've already called my mom."

Ji Lan: "Don't make trouble, go home, don't talk about it, I have to go." ”

Lu Xiaomi's home is in Building 27, which can be said to be very far from Ji Lan's house.

She thought that he would send him to the door and leave no matter what he said, but in fact it was just like what was in front of her.

The childish pink schoolbag was crumpled by Lu Xiaomi, her little mouth could hold a small bucket, and she was stunned in place for a long time, if the phone hadn't rang, she would have been eager to catch up immediately.

On the other end of the phone, Lu Xiaomi's mother's loud voice blew away the anger on her body, and it was also a last resort, she muttered a few times, grabbed the phone with her fist, and went home with a bag on the side of her schoolbag.

Halfway through, she met her best friend Ling Xiaoxiao again.

"Sad, did you quarrel with Ji Lan again?" Ling Xiaoxiao moved her toes to know why she was bothered.

Lu Xiaomi glared angrily and grabbed the extra-large bag of original potato chips in Ling Xiaoxiao's arms, "What do you know?" Don't pour cold water on me here. ”

"Forget it, I won't talk to you, your mother just called me to ask you, hurry home." As he spoke, Ling Xiaoxiao snatched back his potato chips with a quick hand, giggled and ran away.

Lu Xiaomi waved her fist: "Heartless girl, I don't know how to comfort me, go home, go home, what's so good about going home." ”

"However, could that Uncle Yu be Yu Limiao's father?" No matter how you think about it, Lu Xiaomi feels that this is the case. Otherwise, it would be completely unreasonable for Ji Lan to get so close to a girl she just met.

In fact, Lu Xiaomi is not the only one who doesn't know the situation.

Seeing Ji Lan at home, Yu Limiao subconsciously looked down at her cartoon pajamas...... Instantaneous thoughts: Run!

"I'm sorry, our fish seedlings should go to change their clothes, don't mind." Yu Limiao's mother smiled kindly, her tone was warm, Ji Lan listened very comfortably, smiled indifferently, lifted a bag of apples in one hand, and dragged a watermelon in the other hand.

"Auntie, I'll help you get to the kitchen."

Yu Limiao's father was surprised and delighted, "Look at you, come here, what else do you buy, make us have more points, don't you?" ”

Ji Lan's father's tone was slightly reproachful, and his hand had already reached out to hold the hand of his old friend. "Have time for the two of us to go out for a walk and chat?"

"Hahaha, that's what I mean, let's go."

said, the two of you humbly let me, I humbly let you, but in the end, you walked out horizontally and backwards like two crabs. The latter even forgot about his own son.

"Uh, it's called Ji Lan, right?" Yu Limiao's mother looked at the boy in front of her, and the child in her impression had changed, and she was worried that she had made the wrong name, so she asked in advance.

"Yes, Auntie, I went to the same high school as Yu Limiao, and we are in the next class." Ji Lan unconsciously wanted to say it.

At this time, Yu Limiao, who had changed her clothes, came out and glanced at the living room, where her father and the strange uncle were nowhere to be seen.

"Miao Miao, come and talk to your old classmate, I'll go to the kitchen and cut watermelon for you to eat." Looking at the two children who had grown up, the corners of Yu Limiao's mother's mouth were almost cracking to the root of her ears.

The TV is playing a theatrical version of Detective Conan, with the remote control lying on the wooden table, and the two of them are speechless on the beige sofa, but sometimes look into each other's eyes.

After a moment of silence, Yu Limiao's mother walked out with a tray and a smile.

"The watermelon is cut into small pieces for you, and you can eat it while you look at it."

In Ji Lan's impression, the aunt is still as enthusiastic as ever, and the uncle's appearance has basically not changed, only the people around him, not only did he not recognize himself, but he also looked at himself with that kind of doubtful and warning eyes.

"Ji Lan, if you don't want to eat, Auntie will give you money to go out and buy some snacks, okay?"

"Auntie, you are so polite."

Yu Limiao said coldly: "Mom, don't treat us as three-year-old children, okay?" I have change," before she could finish speaking, she secretly poked Ji Lan's arm with her finger, and then stood up, "Let's go out and buy something to eat." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road."

The intertwined roadside street lamps shone like sunlight, and moths of different looks pounced on the light without hesitation.

The square is particularly lively, with a small playground for children across the road, a pharmacy next to it, and a large supermarket on the other......

In a crowded place, the two of them didn't say a word, and they avoided it tacitly.

Walking on a slightly dark, rarely passed and quiet road, Yu Limiao was unmoved, as if the people around her were air.

Ji Lan was different, his little heart was beating vigorously, and he almost jumped out of his chest.

"It turns out that your father and my father are friends." Yu Limiao said this in a tone as if to say: What did you eat at night?

For several minutes, Ji Lan didn't know how to answer. "Uh...... You're not impressed at all? ”

With this question, Yu Limiao was completely confused. He asked himself, "Is there anything between us, according to him?" ”
