In the basketball finals, our class lost and missed the top three. The basketball league ended, and we refocused on learning at two points and one line.

Today is Friday, and as usual, there is no need for evening self-study tonight. In the last class of the afternoon, Zhang Long asked me to collect the "Student Personal Information Registration Form" sent two days ago before going home.

I counted the forms and pushed Lu Li, who was dozing off, "Lu Li, didn't you hand in the registration form?" ”

Lu Li opened his eyes lazily, "What watch?" ”

I pulled out my form and put it in front of him, "Well, you can't fill it out yet, do you?" ”

"I'll look for it."

After saying that, half of his head went into the drawer, and he rummaged through it for a while before he took out the form and spread it on the table.

I glanced at it, and the fruit was white in vacuum.

I urged: "Hurry up and fill it in, I'll hand it over to Zhang Long in a while." ”

After only two minutes, Lu Li handed me the form, "Okay." ”

"So fast!" I took it in surprise and took a quick look at it.

On the self-evaluation column, Lu Li filled in five big words - "playing the piano well", which is really a good self-evaluation. On the parent's information column, Lu Li only filled in his father's basic information.

"Lu Li, the parents' information needs to be filled in, what about your mother's information?"

"I don't know her well." Lu Li's voice suddenly became cold.

"How can anyone ...... with his mother"

Halfway through the sentence, I regretted it and quickly swallowed the unspoken words into my stomach. Ye Zhenzhen, Ye Zhenzhen, you are really a pig, Lu Li's grandmother said that Lu Li's parents divorced very early, and you are pouring salt on Lu Li's wound when you say this.

To ease the embarrassment, I changed the subject, "Date of birth, March 30." Isn't that today? Lu Li, is your birthday today? ”

At our age, the most anticipated day every year should be birthdays in addition to winter and summer vacations. Not only can you eat delicious cakes, but you can also receive gifts.

Lu Li let out a "hmm" nonchalantly.

"How are you doing today? Did you go home with your grandma? I asked.

"I'm not a birthday."

After speaking, Lu Li lay down to sleep and no longer paid attention to me.

Before going out today, I should have flipped through the yellow calendar, which must have read "Don't talk to Lu Li". I picked up the form and ran out of the classroom.

Zhang Long asked me about my recent class and my school situation in the office, when I returned to the classroom, Lu Li had already left, Lu Li must have been angry because of what happened just now, I sighed and slowly packed my schoolbag.

The campus after school was particularly lively, and most of the people were excited because they didn't need to study at night, but I was the only one who walked down the school road sullenly, looking out of place. When I walked out of the school gate, I ran into Lu Li at the school gate.

"Lu Li, why haven't you left yet?"

Are you waiting for me?

"Grandma went to my aunt's house, and I was wondering where to eat."

I seem to be being sentimental again.

To make up for my mistake, I generously said, "I know there's a very delicious noodle restaurant nearby, so I'll invite you to eat it." ”

"Let's go, then."

I thought Lu Li would refuse my invitation because of what happened just now, but I didn't expect him to agree so easily. My mood suddenly relaxed, humming a song and walking in front of Lu Li to lead the way.

Turn two corners along the alley next to the school, and you will arrive at the "Happy Noodle Restaurant".

We walked into the shop and the hostess warmly beckoned us to sit down.

"Little girl, you haven't been here for a long time." The hostess recognized me and greeted me.

"I've been doing a lot of homework lately, but I want to die in front of your family."

"This is your classmate, the young man is so pretty. It's your first time eating noodles at our house, right? ”

Maybe it was the first time that he was praised for his beauty, Lu Li nodded a little embarrassedly.

"What kind of noodles do you want to eat today?"

"As always, there are two bowls of 'Happy Noodles', one of which has a poached egg."

"Okay, wait a minute," shouted the proprietress as she walked into the kitchen, "old man, two bowls of 'happy noodles'." ”

A few minutes later, the proprietress brought two bowls of hot noodles, "Eat slowly, I hope you eat our noodles and have a good time." ”

I brought one of the bowls of noodles with poached eggs to Lu Li, "Taste it." ”

Lu Li looked at the noodles and hesitated for a while, then picked up the chopsticks and picked up the coriander and green onions on the noodles and put them on the table.

I hurriedly intervened to stop it, "Don't you eat coriander and chopped green onions?" ”

"Don't eat it."

"I eat, don't waste food."

I brought Lu Li's noodles to the center of the table, carefully picked out the coriander and green onion in Lu Li's bowl with chopsticks, and then put them into my bowl.

Picking out the last slice of coriander, I pushed the noodles back in front of Lu Li, "Pick it clean, eat it." ”

Seeing that the noodles were so clean that there was no coriander and green onions, Lu Li bent the corners of his mouth with satisfaction and ate with confidence.

"You seem to know the proprietress very well?" Lu Li asked.

"When I first entered high school, Gu Zijin and I walked around here after school, and one day when we saw the name of this store, we thought it was very interesting, so we clicked on it. Gu Zijin and I agreed that it was very delicious, and after eating, the mood really became very happy. I explained.

"It's just your psychological effect," Lu Li disagrees with me, "biologically speaking, eating causes the brain to release dopamine, a substance that makes people feel satisfied and happy. ”

The first place really deserves its name, and a bowl of noodles can be explained so scientifically. But I don't like the cold scientific explanations, I like the steaming warmth.

I smiled and winked at Lu Li, "As long as this bowl of noodles fills your stomach when you're hungry, it's wonderful, isn't it?" ”

After eating, Lu Li and I went home side by side under the moonlight.

"Is the noodles delicious?" I asked.

"Not bad." Lu Li replied.

"Then after you finished eating, did you feel better?" I turned my head, trying to see the expression on Lu Li's face through the moonlight.

Lu Li seemed to guess my careful thoughts, and turned his head generously, "Seeing your appearance, my mood has inexplicably improved." ”

Lu Li was joking, which showed that he was not angry with me. I didn't care about his ridicule very much, and cooperated with him and said respectfully: "Uncle Lu, you are happy." ”

When he arrived downstairs, suddenly a five or six-year-old boy ran over and hugged Lu Li's thigh.

The little boy tilted his head and said in a milky voice: "Brother Lu Li, why did you come back?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Lu Li frowned and gently pushed the little boy away, "Jiang He, why are you here?" ”

The little boy pointed behind him, "I'm here with my mother." ”

Under the dim street lamp, a tall middle-aged woman stood and greeted Lu Li with a smile.

"Lu Li, you're back." The middle-aged woman excitedly took Lu Li's hand, but she didn't want to be thrown away by Lu Li indifferently.

"Why are you here?" Lu Li's face was cold, and even his voice became like a cold ice cube in winter.

"It's your birthday, and your mom brought you your favorite strawberry cake when you were a kid."

This person is Lu Li's mother? I secretly looked at the woman in front of me through the dim light, the years did not seem to stay on her face too much, the delicate makeup made her look very young, and her demeanor exuded a noble atmosphere, she was definitely the most beautiful and temperamental aunt I have ever seen. No wonder, she was able to give birth to a good-looking boy like Lu Li.

However, Lu Li didn't appreciate it, he pushed away the cake, "I'm not a birthday." ”

After saying that, he turned sideways and planned to leave.

At this time, the little guy named Jiang He grabbed Lu Li's hand and said angrily: "Brother, you are so bad, this is a cake made by my mother, even I have never eaten it!" ”

"I'm not rare, if you want to eat, eat it for me." Lu Li shook off Jiang He's hand and got on the elevator without looking back.

Jiang He was frightened by Lu Li's appearance, and cried wow, Lu Li's mother stepped forward to hug Jiang He and comforted her, "Xiaohe, my brother didn't mean to kill you just now, don't cry." ”

After comforting him for a while, Xiao Jianghe finally stopped crying, but he still pouted and his face was full of displeasure. I was amused by the cute look of this little guy.

With this smile, Lu Li's mother realized my existence, and she stepped forward and asked, "Are you Lu Li's classmate?" ”

I immediately restrained my smile and greeted Lu Li's mother: "Hello Auntie, I am Lu Li's classmate, my name is Ye Zhenzhen, and I happen to live in this building." ”

Auntie held my hand and smiled at me kindly, "Classmate, can you please help me bring this cake to Lu Li?" It was his favorite food when he was a child. ”

I saw that her eyes were red, maybe it was Lu Li's indifference just now that hurt her heart, and I didn't want to disappoint her again, so I nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely let him eat." ”

My aunt thanked me again and again, handed me the cake, and took Jiang He away.

I stood at the door of Lu Li's house with a cake and rang the doorbell nervously. Lu Li's appearance just now was obviously unwilling to accept his mother's wishes, but I didn't bother to bring him the cake again, what if Lu Li got angry? Or if I eat the cake, it's like nothing happened?

Just as I turned to go upstairs, the door to Lu Li's house creaked open.

I waved my hand to Lu Li weakly, "Hi, Lu Li." ”

Lu Li glanced at the cake in my hand, his eyes instantly became cold, and he asked dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing?" ”

I raised the cake in front of my eyes, trying to block Lu Li's cold gaze, "This, your mother asked me to bring it to you." ”

"I don't want it."

Lu Li firmly refused, and then made a gesture to close the door.

I hurriedly stretched out one foot to block the crack in the door that was about to close, although Lu Li didn't close the door much, but the cushioning force of the door still pinched my foot painfully, and I couldn't help but gasp.

Lu Li hurriedly let go of his hand and angrily pushed me out of the crack in the door, "Are you crazy, don't you want your feet?" ”

The first time I saw Lu Lisheng so angry, I was stunned. After a few seconds, Lu Li calmed down, he helped me to sit down on the steps next to me, and checked my ankle, "Does it hurt?" ”

I shook my head, "It doesn't hurt." But why were you so fierce all of a sudden? ”

Lu Li sat down next to me and knocked my forehead unexpectedly, "Are you a pig?" What happens if your foot clip is useless, I can't take full responsibility. ”

It turned out that Lu Li was angry because he was afraid of being responsible for me, but this sounds weird.

I rubbed my forehead and lifted the cake again, "Lu Li, this is made by your mother, you can taste it." I promised your mother that she would let you eat. ”

"Don't, who told you to make promises."

"Oh, Uncle Lu, good man Lu, handsome guy Lu. You can enjoy your face and take a small bite. I have a bad problem, if I don't do what I promised others, I will not feel at ease, if I don't feel at ease, I will not be able to sleep well, if I don't sleep well, I will not be able to eat, if I can't eat, I will be sick, and if I am sick, I will not be able to go to class, then you will not see me at such a lovely tablemate. ”

I used Gu Zijin's trick, dug a bite of cake with a small soup spoon, raised it to Lu Li's mouth, and looked at him expectantly.

Unexpectedly, this trick would work for Lu Li, he reluctantly took the cake and scooped it very reluctantly, "The rest is yours." ”

To be honest, I've been coveting this cake for a long time. I couldn't wait to take out another small spoon and scoop a small bite of cake into my mouth, and the sweet cream immediately overflowed my mouth. Unexpectedly, Lu Li's mother is not only beautiful, but also very skillful, the cake is delicate and cute, she must have poured all her love and carefulness.

Although Lu Li's parents are divorced, even I, an outsider, can see that Lu Li's mother still loves Lu Li very much, why is Lu Li's attitude towards his mother so cold, even to the point of disgust.

I couldn't help but ask, "Lu Li, is there any misunderstanding between you and your mother?" ”

Lu Li was silent for a long time, and when I thought he wouldn't answer, he slowly spoke: "For as long as I can remember, my parents have often quarreled. My dad was very busy at work and was rarely at home, and my mom couldn't stand being alone every day to take care of me like a widow. On my seventh birthday, she took me to the amusement park and lied to me about buying me strawberry cake, and I waited for her on the merry-go-round for a long time, and finally my grandmother took me home. I later learned that after she sent a divorce agreement to my dad, she left with her first love. After a few years, he gave birth to Ehe. ”

Lu Li told it blandly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"I often wonder if they named me Lu Li, and I was destined to be separated from the person I love the most for the rest of my life. My mom left me, my dad was hardly by my side, my grandfather, who loved me the most, passed away two years ago, and my grandmother's health was getting worse and worse....."

Lu Li buried his face in the palm of his hand, and I could feel him sitting next to me, trembling slightly.
