Chapter Twenty-Eight: Anklets

When she got home, Ruan Yu packed up her things, it was almost dark outside, Ruan's mother cooked a meal, and shouted to her in the living room to come out to eat, Ruan Yu answered, put down the book in her hand and went to the living room.

After dinner, Ruan Yu took the box of pen and ink to find Meng Jiayue, and when Uncle Meng opened the door, he saw that it was Ruan Yu and said, "Jiayue went out with his mother and hasn't come back yet." ”

"Then I'll wait for him." Ruan Yu lifted the box in his hand and said with a smile: "I'll ask him to practice calligraphy." ”

After saying this, Ruan Yu immediately regretted it, feeling that she shouldn't have said this, she should have turned around and gone home, but the words had already been spoken, and she couldn't take them back. Looking up at Uncle Meng, Ruan Yu was afraid that he would feel that he was blind, so he insisted on going to his house and not leaving.

"Xiao Yu is practicing calligraphy! Very nice, come in! Jiayue should be back soon. Uncle Meng smiled and turned sideways to let Ruan Yu into the house.

Ruan Yu didn't know what to reply, so she also smiled, and after entering, she didn't stay in the living room, and went directly to Meng Jiayue's room. There was no change in it, but Ruan Yu suddenly felt a little unfamiliar, she stayed for a while, walked to the desk and put the box on it.

Ruan Yu has not practiced calligraphy these days during the Chinese New Year, because she has not brought back the things that practice calligraphy such as brush and ink, and now she suddenly writes again, and she feels that she is still a little handy, and she slowly regains her feeling after writing a page.

Ruan Yu put aside the one she had finished writing and took a new piece of paper to write. There was a sudden explosion outside, and Ruan Yu had just written a few words, and his hand shook in fright, leaving an ink spot on the white paper. She turned her head to look out the window and saw fireworks in the night sky burst one after another, which lasted for a few minutes before it fell silent.

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, but some people can't help but start setting off fireworks today. Ruan Yu put down the pen and walked to the window, and after waiting for a while, there were fireworks in the sky.

"Is it pretty?" Someone behind her suddenly asked her.

Ruan Yu turned around and saw Meng Jiayue holding the words she had just written, looked at her and looked back, smiled and asked, "Why did you come back so late?" ”

"My second grandfather passed away." Ruan Yu licked his dry lips, and didn't know how to say it for a while, before he said to him, "I'm thirsty." ”

Meng Jiayue didn't ask much, nodded, went out and poured a cup of hot water, Ruan Yu took it and took a sip to test the temperature, it was neither hot nor cold, it was just the temperature that could be drunk.

After Ruan Yu finished drinking the water, Meng Jiayue also finished reading the calligraphy she wrote, put it on the desk casually, and said to Ruan Yu: "Come here." ”

Ruan Yu looked at him, and in an instant, the strangeness brought by the long-term separation faded from her heart, and she rubbed her moist eyes, but she did not stop her tears.

Ruan Yu didn't know why she was crying, she just suddenly felt uncomfortable, her mind was in chaos, thinking of her second grandfather, remembering the funeral, thinking of Meng Jiayue in the past, remembering many, many things, and then tears flowed out unconsciously.

Meng Jiayue didn't speak, and when she had cried enough and came to her side, she raised her hand and rubbed Ruan Yu's head, took the cup in her hand and put it on the table, and took out a toffee from her pocket and fed it to her.

The familiar taste of milk melted in his mouth and flowed into his stomach, Ruan Yu snorted, buried his head in Meng Jiayue's arms, and didn't speak for a long time.

Meng Jiayue gently patted her back and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, be good, there is me!" ”

"Meng Jiayue." Ruan Yu suddenly called him.

"Hmm." Meng Jiayue responded.

"Meng Jiayue."

"Hmm."

"Meng Jiayue."

After being called several times in a row, Meng Jiayue couldn't help laughing, but there was no impatience on his face, and he responded again: "Well, what's the matter?" Little Elm. ”

"Nope." Ruan Yu shook his head and said sullenly.

Meng Jiayue grabbed Ruan Yu's shoulders and pushed her away a little, looked down to see the expression on her face, frowned, red eyes, and a sad face. Meng Jiayue sighed slightly, pulled over the chair and hugged Ruan Yu and sat down.

"Why are you still unhappy?"

Meng Jiayue pinched Ruan Yu's cheeks, feeling that the flesh had become less, and couldn't help but say: "My face was fat when I came back for the Chinese New Year last year, why didn't I get fat this year?" ”

"Isn't it good to lose weight? My mom wouldn't let me eat all of them for fear that I would get fat again. Ruan Yu pouted and looked at him.

"It's all good." After Meng Jiayue finished speaking, he looked at Ruan Yu, and said with some regret in his expression: "If you lose weight, you can't pinch the meat, and it won't feel good." ”

"But it's not good-looking to be fat!" Ruan Yu tilted her head, not understanding why Meng Jiayue wanted her to be fat so much.

Meng Jiayue said disapprovingly: "This is not necessarily, no matter how thin your sister is, she is not as beautiful as you, and besides, haven't you noticed that there is no girl in the entire class who is better looking than you?" ”

Ruan Yu didn't believe it, and immediately shook her head and said, "Isn't Zhang Xuemin very beautiful?" She's a class flower! ”

"She's not as pretty as you." Meng Jiayue looked at Ruan Yu from beginning to end seriously, and said with a determined face: "What I said is true, but she is more dressed than you." ”

Ruan Yu looked at Meng Jiayue, and saw that he didn't look like a joke, so he couldn't help believing it a little in his heart, and then there was a burst of joy in his heart, and he unconsciously smiled on his face, grabbed Meng Jiayue's shoulder and said, "Then I won't lose weight." ”

"What kind of fat to lose?"

"My mom told me to lose weight."

"Don't listen to her."

"Okay." Ruan Yu didn't even hesitate, nodded vigorously, and responded crisply.

Meng Jiayue was satisfied, and asked Ruan Yu again: "Do you want to eat yogurt?" The yogurt pudding that my mother bought, bought too much and no one at home ate it, and it was estimated that it would expire if I left it again. ”

"What is yogurt pudding?" Although Ruan Yu has also eaten yogurt, but the limited few times were given to her by Meng Jiayue, Ruan's mother doesn't like to eat these, so she never buys it, she really doesn't know the types of yogurt.

"It doesn't feel much different from the yogurt you drink, it's just that it's in a small cup, and you have to spoon it to eat, and it's more viscous, so it's solid!" Meng Jiayue put Ruan Yu on the chair as he spoke, went out for a while, and came back with two very beautifully packaged pudding cups in his hands.

"It's so cute!" Ruan Yu took one and held it in his hand to look at it.

Meng Jiayue stretched out his feet to hook a chair to sit on, opened the lid of the pudding box in his hand, removed a layer of film on the rim of the cup inside, and scooped a spoonful with a matching plastic spoon and fed it.

Ruan Yu opened her mouth and swallowed it, not forgetting to continue to play with the pudding in her hand while eating.

After feeding the two boxes of pudding, Meng Jiayue wiped Ruan Yu's mouth with toilet paper, and said, "I originally prepared a gift for you, but unfortunately you left in too much hurry and didn't send it out." ”

Ruan Yu was curious: "What kind of gift?" ”

Meng Jiayue pinched her face, opened the drawer with one free hand, and took out a chain from it, a red braided rope, a small safety buckle was strung together, and there were two milky white jade beads on both sides.

"Would you like to bring this?" Meng Jiayue shook in front of her eyes.

Ruan Yu looked at the chain suspiciously, compared her wrist again, shook her head and said, "It's too big, I can't wear it." ”

Meng Jiayue smiled, squatted down and took off the shoes on Ruan Yu's left foot, opened the trouser hem, revealing a delicate and smooth ankle, he tied the chain to Ruan Yu's ankle, the red rope lined with white and tender skin, there was an indescribable good-looking.

"This is an anklet." Meng Jiayue looked up at Ruan Yu, curled his lips and smiled: "But I tie a dead knot, and I can't take it off if I put it on, unless you cut it with scissors." ”

"Huh? Can't you take off the bath? Ruan Yu bent down and tried to pull it, but he didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of breaking it.

"Of course I did." Meng Jiayue lifted Ruan Yu's feet and put them on his knees, and took socks to put them on for her.

Ruan Yu said uneasily: "The chain will get dirty." ”

"No, it won't."

"Lost it?"

Meng Jiayue smiled, put on Ruan Yu's shoes, got up and pinched her face, and said with a smile: "What are you worried about so much?" It's all tied up, how can you lose it? ”

Ruan Yu pursed her lips, thinking about it, she felt that she was thinking too much, so she smiled embarrassedly, so she stopped talking.

When she went back to sleep at night, she undressed by the bed, Ruan Yue sat on her bed and knocked melon seeds, and when she took off her pants, the red rope on Ruan Yu's ankle was exposed, and Ruan Yue saw it, she immediately asked curiously: "What are you wearing on your feet?" ”

"Anklet!" Ruan Yuzheng lowered his head and pinched off the white hair on the cotton drag, and he didn't raise his head when he heard the words, so he replied casually.

"When did you buy it? How I don't know. Ruan Yue said as she looked at her ankle.

"Meng Jiayue sent it." Ruan Yu hung the clothes she had taken off on the hanger, climbed the ladder at the end of the bed to the upper bunk, and prepared to go to bed.

Ruan Yue sneered below, and the melon seeds clicked: "A boy gave you an anklet, why don't I believe it!" ”

"What's the matter with you?" Ruan Yu probed from above and stuck out her tongue at her.

Ruan Yu picked up the melon seed skin on the table and threw it into the trash, and then said, "I'll just ask, make a fuss." ”

"What's all the fuss?"

"Ah, I said." Ruan Yue stood up and looked up at Ruan Yu on the top bunk, and said with a meaningful smile: "Does Meng Jiayue like you?" ”

"Of course I do, he's nice to me." Ruan Yu nodded vigorously, not understanding the true meaning of Ruan Yue's words at all.

Ruan Yue was instantly annoyed by her ability to understand, rolled her eyes and explained weakly: "I didn't say that kind of liking, I liked it like boyfriend and girlfriend." ”

Ruan Yu couldn't understand where she said something wrong, and argued with her: "Where is not boyfriend and girlfriend?" He's a boy, I'm a girl! ”

Ruan Yue looked at Ruan Yu speechlessly, and finally twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "You are fat like this, there are boys who like it?" ”

"Better than you." Ruan Yu yelled at her angrily, lifted the quilt and lay down in the quilt, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Ruan Yue was choked by her words, and she didn't say a word for a long time, so she looked at Ruan Yu and then at herself, and complained: "How did you say our mother was born?" Why did you give birth to me so black? You were born so white? ”

No matter how unwilling Ruan Yue is, she has to admit that Ruan Yu does look better than her.
