Chapter 47: The Covenant
The little girl held the bread in her hand, took a bite carefully, chewed carefully, which sweet feeling had not appeared in her mind for a long time, and she ate the half of the bread at a faster pace one by one.
"This bread is so delicious. The little girl greedily sucked her fingers, which still had the sweetness of bread, and said indistinctly.
She didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten such a sweet and delicious delicacy, just half an ordinary loaf of bread, which made her feel a long-lost happiness.
The dirty puppy at her feet barked happily after eating the bread, and leaned over to Lan's place, sniffing Lan's shoes with her little nose. As if I wanted to keep the scent of Lan firmly in my heart.
Lan looked at the dirty puppy, hesitated for a moment, and reached out to put his hand on the puppy's head and touched it gently.
What kind of soft and comfortable feeling made Lan reluctant to remove his little hand, and the puppy also enjoyed this feeling very much, so he quietly closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of tranquility motionlessly.
"Well, have you eaten enough?" Lan said, touching the puppy's head.
"Well, I'm full. The little girl said with her head down, and then she consciously took a small step back.
"It's good to eat enough, my name is Lan, you can call me Miss Lan, what's your name?" Lan asked.
"My name is Lin Wanting," the little girl whispered with her head down, and then she took a small step back, keeping a certain distance from Lan.
"Hey, why are you so far away from me. Lan found out about Lin Wanting's actions, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Am I so terrible?"
"No, no, no, I'm afraid of the smell on me... Smoke you..."The little girl waved her hand excitedly, and then whispered embarrassedly.
Lan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Lin Wanting, because Yang Fan's distrust turned bad, her mood instantly brightened, and the dirty puppy on the side seemed to fall asleep on the ground because it was too comfortable.
"It's okay, you don't have a bad smell on you, why are you here alone, your parents?" Lan looked at Lin Wanting and asked curiously.
"My parents..."Lin Wanting heard the words "parents", her heart suddenly trembled, her clear eyes with a hint of sadness, she said tremblingly
"My parents are long gone. β
Lan was silent when she heard Lin Wanting's words, and the whole street was frozen at the end of that sentence as if it were a silent movie picture.
After I don't know how long, a few minutes or maybe ten minutes, Lan stretched out his hand and put it on Lin Wanting's head, and said softly
"I don't have parents either, it's fine. β
After listening to Lan's words, Lin Wanting raised her head and looked at Lan in surprise, her big and clear eyes with a hint of surprise and emotion.
"You... Don't you have parents either?" she spoke a little louder.
"Hmm," Lan said, nodding, a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Are you also alone?" Lin Wanting then asked.
"Iβ" Lan nodded, shook her head again, and an ordinary face appeared in her mind, sometimes cowardly, sometimes brave, sometimes timid, sometimes angry, those expressions converged on a person's face, and Lan couldn't help but say
"I'm not, there's someone with me. β
"If someone accompanies you, then why are you here alone?" Lin Wanting asked puzzled after listening to Lan's words.
"I got into a fight with him, I ran away and got lost ... Wait for him here. Lan said embarrassedly.
"Then I'll wait with you. Lin Wanting cautiously took a light step towards Lan and said, her little nose kept making inhaling sounds, like a small stray dog. She was sniffing for something bad on her body.
"Lan... Miss Lan, what kind of person is he?" Lin Wanting finally walked to Lan's side and asked, but she never dared to get too close, she just stood next to her.
"Him?"
"It's the person who accompanies you. Lin Wanting opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, "Did he beat you, did he murder you?"
"Hit? Does he dare? Fiercely, but fiercely than me. Lan looked at Lin Wanting like this, and also sucked his little nose and leaned towards Lin Wanting.
"Then you... That's nice... The people who adopted you are so good to you..."Lin Wanting's eyes gloomily continued, "Unlike me, the couple who adopted me except for beating me is scolding me." With that, she pulled up her long dirty sleeves, as if to hide the scars on her body and mind.
"I wasn't adopted. Lan scratched his head and said.
"Is that a relative?" Lin Wanting watched Lan's actions and quietly took another step, she thought it was the lice on her body that jumped on Lan's hair, but in fact, she didn't have lice at all.
"No, if you want to describe the relationship between us, it should be..."Speaking of this, Lan didn't know what to say, who was Yang Fan? host, slave, student, or something else? Lan thought for a moment, and said with difficulty, "It should be family, well, family relationship." β
"Family..."Hearing the word family, Lin Wanting was in a trance. Then she looked away from Lan with a gloomy look and said elsewhere
"My family is so nice. Then why are you arguing?"
"It's not because Yang Fan, that big fool, doesn't believe me. Obviously I was right, he insisted on me to apologize, and we got into a fight. Lan said aggrievedly, and as soon as she talked about it, she secretly swore that she would never forgive him easily.
"I'm sure you're right. Lin Wanting said with a smile, her smile was very bright and good-looking, although her little face was dirty, but it gave people a dazzling feeling.
"Hey, I didn't say what it was, you just believe me?" Lan said as he looked at Lin Wanting suspiciously.
"Because Miss Lan is a good person, when she was not adopted before, when she was in the welfare home, the teacher said that if someone is willing to share half of what she has with you, then she is a good person. If you give me half of the bread, you are a good man. Good people can't go wrong. Lin Wanting recalled the past, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"It's not as good as you say. Lan heard Lin Wanting's explanation, and his face turned red and he was embarrassed.
"I... I can... Can I be friends with you?" Lin Wanting hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and whispered.
"Friend?" Lan had heard for the first time. She hasn't been in this world for a long time, she hasn't been in contact with many people, and no one has ever said that she wants to be friends with her.
In fact, the writer is lonely, she has always been lonely as an administrator, sometimes Yang Fan went to work part-time to leave her at home after waking up, she looked out the window and time lonely, waiting for Yang Fan to come back, sometimes she fell asleep unconsciously in waiting, and then after waking up, hurriedly pointed out Yang Fan a few words, had a meal with him, and then cycled the plot of waiting for Yang Fan, she was also very lonely.
"Isn't it... Makes you unhappy... Either don't be friends... Anyway, people like me shouldn't have friends..."Looking at Lan's contemplative appearance, Lin Wanting thought that her words offended Lan, and then waved her hand desperately and apologized.
"Ahh No..."Lan looked at Lin Wanting who was at a loss and couldn't help laughing, "It's the first time, someone wants to be friends with me, you good friend." β
Lin Wanting heard Lan's words, the swaying movement of her hand stopped, and then she cried. The puppy at his feet seemed to be awakened by his crying, and then looked at Lin Wanting crying, and then stood up, his whole body tense and bared his teeth and let out a low roar at Lan.
"Daifuku... Don't do this... I'm not being bullied anymore... I... I was moved... Because I... I have friends for the first time..."Lin Wanting looked at Dafu's appearance, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the puppy's head and said.
The puppy seemed to understand Lin Wanting's words, and couldn't help relaxing, then rubbed Lin Wanting's trouser legs and lay down quietly.
"Thank you for being friends with me..."Lin Wanting said to Lan gratefully with tears in her eyes.
"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry..."Lan was just taken aback by Lin Wanting's actions.
"I'm sorry... Miss Lan... It's my first time making friends... It's so exciting... I promise it won't happen a second time..."Lin Wanting was embarrassed to apologize, and she leaned in the direction of Lan.
"Hmm... It's enough to have a crybaby... I don't want to meet the second one. Lan's mind involuntarily remembered the appearance of the person who made him angry, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet and say. She didn't want to think about who was crying more than anyone else because of her grievances just now.
"Hmm... I promise... I won't be a crybaby..."Lin Wanting said with determination.
"Well, good. Lan stretched out his little hand and touched Lin Wanting's head and said.
In this way, in Lan's life, the first friend appeared. To celebrate, Lan walked into the bakery, exchanged the last money on his body for three loaves of bread, and then handed Lin Wanting and the dog on the ground as a celebration.
"Miss Lan, what is your dream?" Lin Wanting asked vaguely as she ate her bread.
"My dream...?" Lan said as he ate his bread and said in the same vague voice, "My dream is to make him a great god writer, what about you?"
"Great God Writer? Excuse me... I don't know what it is... My dream?" Lin Wanting gulped down her bread and thought for a while, "I want to open a supermarket!"
"Huh? Why?"
"So... Not only can you eat enough... And a lot of good food... When I opened the supermarket, I closed the door every day, didn't sell anything and went out, just me, you, and Dafuku and the three of us ate. Lin Wanting had a picture of the future in her mind, and she couldn't help laughing.
Dafu at his feet seemed to understand everything, and Wang screamed, as if he was catering to Lin Wanting's dream.
"Then make an appointment, and the three of us will eat later. Lan nodded, expectantly. But she hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously
"The three of us can't finish eating, can we save a little for a crybaby. β
Lin Wanting thought for a while, then nodded desperately and said, "Well, then leave a little bit." β
Then the two little girls laughed in unison.
"Lanβ" A voice came faintly from a distance, and hearing this voice, Lan frowned and complained, "This crybaby has finally found me." But there was a sweet smile on her face...
