Chapter 074: Start from the beginning
"That's right," Ji Lan's mother approached her, lowered her voice and continued: "I know several people, the children in the family have just entered junior high school and want to find a tutor, has Li Miao found a job now?" Why don't you introduce you? β
Yu Limiao's mother heard this and smiled, "Our children are preparing for the graduate school entrance examination, and we can only take advantage of this time to rest, and I will appreciate your kindness." β
Ji Lan's mother didn't think so, thinking that her son was not also preparing for the exam, but he also found a part-time job. The smile on his face faded:
"Exams are exams, and you still have to find a job, otherwise, it's not good to be out of touch with society. Besides, even if it's a girl's family, she hasn't worked all the time, so it's not good. β
"Who said our seedlings don't have jobs? She is at home every day, she looks very idle, there are many things you don't know, and her manuscript fee alone is on top of your son's tutoring fee! β
The tone of her speech was invisibly aggravated, and if it weren't for the fact that she had been a neighbor for many years, she would have made a straight face when she heard the tone of her speech.
"Look at you, don't I also think about Remiao, you're still angry with me, don't be angry, don't be angry," Ji Lan's mother haha, "It's been a while since Remiao came back, are you in love?" β
Yu Limiao's mother obviously had a few big words "I don't want to say" written on her face, and she didn't take the other party seriously, and continued to ask, and at the end, she also used a joking tone to help Yu Limiao introduce the object.
"Anyway, the time I made with my friend is already up, and it's time for me to go."
After that, Yu Limiao's mother got on the battery car and stayed away as fast as she could.
When Ji Lan's mother came home, she saw her husband squatting on the balcony to tease a little green turtle she had just bought the day before yesterday, and told him to come to the kitchen to help her chop cabbage, and then spice the dumpling filling later.
At this time, Ji Lan had just gotten up, his brain was dizzy, his hands and heels seemed to be beaten, he was sore, he moved from the room to the living room, heard his parents discussing fish and seedlings, stood at the kitchen door and listened for a while, and was really speechless about his mother's gossip.
I don't understand when she has an opinion about Yu Limiao.
He didn't dare to think about Yu Liyu now, he didn't want to go out, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to be an authentic salted fish for the time being.
I even hope that if I have some accidents, it is best to lose my memory and forget the unbearable past.
Thinking of this, I regret it even more, I shouldn't have drunk that night!
Hey, if Yu Limiao knew, what would she and Gu Ying think of me?
Cooking dumplings at noon, Ji Lan ate a few, and then under the pretext that he still had something to do, he locked himself in the room and didn't go out again.
When his parents saw him doing this for a day or two, they all felt strange and asked him why he didn't go to class for the student, and the answer was: The child has another activity today and will not make up the class. If I asked him again, there would be no sound.
Ji Lan was afraid that her parents would have problems again, so she cleaned up the room and went out. There was no one on the cobblestone path, and occasionally the sound of rustling in the grass or bushes on both sides could be heard, and the stray cat would not be afraid to see people, swaggering past him, getting under a certain car, walking around the tires, and running away with a "whoosh".
The wind with a slight mixture of heat blew on his face, and the tip of his nose smelled the aroma of shampoo, and walked aimlessly, past peach trees, around open-air parking lots, and past the noisy shop doors......
Ji Lan stared at the sky splashed with sunset in the distance, thinking that in the near future, there would be countless people walking by here and there, and knew that it was time for him to go home.
Re-entering the familiar corridor, the moment the elevator door opened, Ji Lan met Yu Limiao's eyes, one was stunned, and the other was at a loss.
Yu Limiao saw his surprise and wanted to smile to relieve the embarrassment, but found that he couldn't laugh at all.
"Are you better?"
"Huh?" Ji Lan sweated a lot in an instant, "I'm fine." β
"Well, it's okay. I went to take out the trash. β
Ji Lan was sluggish for a few seconds, and hurriedly got out of the way, "Well, I'll go up, do you need me to wait for you?" β
Yu Remiao's mind spun rapidly, staring into his eyes for several seconds, "Hmm." I'll hurry. With that, he turned around and ran out, threw the sorted garbage into the trash can, turned around and ran into the elevator.
"Zhang Yao told me yesterday, you held a party, didn't you?" After speaking, he secretly looked at Ji Lan's face with his residual vision.
Ji Lan paused: "Well, it's actually not interesting, fortunately you didn't go." β
"Nothing interesting happened?" Yu Limiao asked cautiously.
"No, nothing."
Dingββ
The elevator doors opened.
"I'm going back."
Yu Limiao nodded with a faint smile, feeling extremely sad:
He was lying, a little nervous, but so natural, as if nothing had really happened.
I thought that I was mature, but in fact it was just an appearance, and I was still a child in my heart, and if I did something wrong, I would still hide back, shrink back, and I would be at a loss.
Yu Limiao really hopes that she is still too worried.
It's been a few days.
Ji Lan began to accept the facts of that night.
I started to think about asking Lu Xiaomi to come out and make it clear, but unfortunately, from Monday to Saturday, I have to go to class every day, and occasionally I have to go home to catch up with the point of not working overtime.
At the end of the week, he sent a message to Lu Xiaomi, but there was no reply.
This day was still the same as usual, going out from the student's house at half past nine, and it was already half past ten when he returned to the Sunbird Community, Ji Lan stepped into the house with his front foot, and before his back foot was raised, the light in the living room was on.
"Lanlan, come here."
Listening to the tone of her mother's voice, Ji Lan hurriedly changed her shoes and walked over, "What's wrong?" β
Ji Lan's mother casually turned off the light, pulled her son to the kitchen, and closed the window and the door.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Lan's mother raised her eyebrows at him, and her outstretched hand pinched his arm several times, "You, you, it's really your dad who is right, the more you grow up, the more ignorant you become!" When did you become like this? β
Ji Lan was confused, and she didn't know what her mother was talking about.
"Tell your mother honestly, do you have any friends with Xiaomi?!" After speaking, he almost didn't breathe out, "Tell the truth!" β
At this time, Ji Lan knew what was going on.
I learned from my mother that it turned out that at five or six o'clock in the afternoon the day before yesterday, Lu Xiaomi came to look for her, but when she didn't see me, she pulled her mother and told her what happened that night in front of her, and only hoped that her mother would help her scold herself.
"You said you, you did it, what are you hiding? Or not a man? β
Ji Lan had nothing to say.
"Your dad doesn't know about this yet, and if he did, he would have to break your leg." Ji Lan's mother was very angry, "Xiao Mi, that child also said that she doesn't blame you at all." In my opinion, you are all together. β
Ji Lan frowned and refused: "Mom! It's not about buying things, it's negotiable. I don't like her at all, what is not together, you don't have to mix it up. β
Ji Lan's mother was angry, and pinched his arm hatefully, "Why do you sleep together if you don't like it?" β
"......" Ji Lan raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "It's my mistake, but I don't know what's going on, people are in the restaurant at the beginning, and finally at the hotel, I want to know more than anyone else what happened?!" β
With that, he left his mother and turned around and pushed open the door and rushed to the bedroom.
"Ah, this kid! It's really not worry-free. β
Now that her mother also knows, Ji Lan guessed that Lu Xiaomi was very likely to go to her best friend to talk about it, maybe everyone at the party that day knew, but she stupidly thought that she had done something by herself.
In that case, it's better to ask someone about it.
Ji Lan asked the parents of the students for a day off, and added the QQ numbers of the classmates who participated in the party that day to the alumni group, and asked them one by one.
In the end, it was determined that someone was playing a prank and deliberately locked him and Lu Xiaomi in a room, as for whether the two did anything that night, they didn't know, some people only said that there was no movement for the night.
Ji Lan believes in his determination, even if he is drunk, he should not do anything inappropriate.
However, I have to go to Lu Xiaomi to say it face to face.
Lu Xiaomi didn't expect Ji Lan to ask him out, he didn't say yes or bad, anyway, people also appeared when the time came, looking at the way he looked at him, he also knew that he wouldn't say anything good to himself.
"Ahem, you shouldn't have just stared at me when you called me, right?" Lucio held up the teacup, "Auntie knows, didn't scold you?" β
Ji Lan: "I'm sorry. β
ββ¦β¦β
"I shouldn't have drunk so much that night, I hope nothing was done to you."
Lu Xiaomi raised his chin and looked at him: "A man, a woman, without clothes, what can they do?" Ji Lan, you're not a three-year-old child, don't tell you you don't know. Also, I still say that you don't need to be responsible. β
Ji Lan sank his face and didn't speak.
"If you don't want to go, be my boyfriend!"
"No way!" Ji Lan spoke quickly and firmly.
Lu Xiaomi's fingers holding the ear of the cup turned blue because of excessive force, and his eyes gradually became cold when he looked at Ji Lan: "Ji Lan, you and Yu Limiao are not suitable to be together, Auntie, she doesn't like her very much, she actually doesn't like you very much, maybe you can't feel it yourself, but I can see it very clearly."
Don't you think it's scary for her to know that you're uncomfortable drinking, but she doesn't show up and doesn't say anything, as if nothing happened, she knows that you don't feel comfortable drinking, she doesn't show up, she doesn't say anything?
If she knew we slept, do you think she would care? Ji Lan, please be sober, you have liked her for so long, you can see it from a nerd, just her, like no one, I Lu Xiaomi likes you in vain, if you don't like me, forget it, but please don't hurt me! β
Speaking of this, Lu Xiaomi stood up and poured a cup of still warm coffee on his face, "Yu Limiao is a scumbag, you are a scumbag!" β
With that, he left in a rage.
Lu Xiaomi never thought that one day he would scold Ji Lan, this boy who has never forgotten his thoughts, a man, he clearly wants to be with him and wants to go crazy, but there is only one fish in his eyes.
Ji Lan and Yu Limiao and Gu Ying have cut off contact, phone, WeChat or QQ, message records are still last month, and there is no change.
Even if Ji Lan and Yu Limiao were walking on the road, the two of them would turn their heads in unison, and they would only look at each other for a few seconds when they met occasionally, and then turn around and go their own ways.
The heat is hot, and it is the beginning of autumn in a blink of an eye.
Ji Lanbao has already taken the tour guide exam, the written exam in November, and the oral exam in December, and now he doesn't dare to relax for a minute, he wants to prepare fully and go all out to meet the exam, and he doesn't care about anything else.
And Gu Ying opened another studio, the money was borrowed from Leng Mian, an IOU was written, and his fingerprints were pressed, and he was returned to him with interest at the agreed time.
As for the work partners, there are former good buddies, there are not many people, Gu Ying fell down and got up again, and then started from the beginning and took his time.
