Chapter 29: You're Special
"What else does Sister Xingruo want to buy?"
"I'm going to buy some medicinal herbs for making soup, you wait for me here, soon!"
She walked into the shop, talked to the boss, took a look at all kinds of soup and medicinal herbs, and Lin Lu was waiting for her at the door with vegetables, quietly watching her figure.
Li Xingruo's talent has been brought into play in this market.
Lin Lu, who didn't know anything about buying vegetables and cooking, felt the meaning of the term 'sister' from her, and for the first time had a wonderful sense of dependence on her.
She will tell Lin Lu what this is, what that is, what can be made with this ingredient, how to make it, and she will also say, "If you want to eat, my sister will make it for you!" β
Lin Lu is not an only child, he also has two younger sisters at home, his sister is very well-behaved and sticky to him, she likes him very much, and he also takes special care of his sister.
But getting along with my sisters, compared to getting along with Li Xingruo, the big sister, the experience I can feel from it is completely different.
After his parents divorced, as a member of the adult group, the word dependence seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and this experience was strange but familiar to him, like being wrapped in a ball of soft warm water, which could relax and calm both body and mind.
It is probably this feeling that makes the meaning of the term 'sister' very different in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xingruo came out after buying something, looking like he was afraid that he would wait too long.
"Anything else to buy?"
Lin Lu was about to reach out to pick up the bag she was carrying, but Li Xingruo in turn helped him pick up most of the bag he was carrying, and the slightly heavy weight made marks on her delicate fingers.
She rummaged through the contents of the bag and said, "No, go home and cook." β
By the time she finished speaking, she had already twisted out a date from a small white plastic bag.
"Na, this is for you to eat, it's very sweet, this sun-dried big date is super sweet with some dried longan meat to make soup!"
Lin Lu no longer likes to eat sweet things like when he was a child, like bitter gourd and the like, but it is more in line with his current taste.
But at this moment, he happily took Li Xingruo's big date, and when he ate it in his mouth, he had a feeling that it melted in his mouth together with the 'full of sister's heart'.
"How's it going, isn't it?" Li Xingruo watched expectantly as he reacted.
"Delicious!" A big date that costs only a few cents makes Lin Lu feel that it is the best thing he has eaten in recent years.
Lin Lu's reaction made Li Xingruo very satisfied, and said with a smile: "When I was a child, I liked to eat this the most, every time my mother bought back the soup and medicinal materials, the dates were secretly eaten by me~"
Saying that, Li Xingruo couldn't help but put on that look in front of him, 'Feeling life, I have so much experience five floors taller than you', and sighed: "Later, when I had pocket money, I bought a lot of dates to eat, but they were always not as sweet as the ones I used to eat." β
Lin Lu said with a smile: "Does Sister Xingruo need me to do reading comprehension?" Analyze the mood of the protagonist? β
"You'll understand when you're my age! You're high, middle, and raw! β
Li Xingruo thought about it, there was nothing left to buy, this time he bought a lot, and he pulled Lin Lu to help buy all the miscellaneous things that might be used in the future.
When she was about to take her younger brother back like the eldest sister, she suddenly couldn't find the direction of the market exit, and she was embarrassed all of a sudden.
"Just now we started from ...... That door comes in, right? β
"It's okay to go out here at the North Gate, follow the high school, middle school, and student! Let's go. β
Lin Lu took her out from the nearest north gate, and after walking for a short distance, she finally saw the familiar street, which was faster than returning the same way.
Li Xingruo accepted her fate, obediently didn't speak, put away her mind of being the head of the eldest sister, and honestly followed Lin Lu back, if it was herself, she would definitely have to take out her mobile phone and scratch her head to look at the navigation again.
"Sister Xingruo has been an idiot since she was a child?" Lin Lu said curiously.
ββ¦β¦ It's okay, I'm not lost in the town. Li Xingruo doesn't know why, it is estimated that the town is too small, and it will not work if you leave the town.
"Didn't you recognize the booth quite accurately?"
"This is different, I don't recognize the location, I recognize the person, just recognize the person!"
"And such a trick?"
"Hmph, it's very powerful, I recognize people very accurately, whoever is who, I can recognize it when I see it!" Li Xingruo found a place to be proud of, and suddenly became confident again.
"Oh-so Sister Xingruo looks particularly human?"
"What's that saying......"
"Do you remember the day you just moved here, Sister Xingruo, didn't you still ask me how my neighbors were, in fact, the two families opposite, I almost forgot what they looked like now......"
"Isn't it! Is it because of face blindness......" Li Xingruo was surprised.
"It's not that it doesn't feel like there's anything going on, so I don't bother to remember it."
Li Xingruo was stunned and said narcissistically: "So sister, I'm special in your eyes?" β
"It's special."
Lin Lu nodded honestly, the big dates had been eaten, and he spoke with the dates in his mouth.
"Why?"
Li Xingruo's eyes with soft arcs became curious, and it seemed quite surprised that Lin Lu would say this, and use such a serious tone.
"Becauseβit's special!"
"Shhhh It's the same as not saying! β
The tension in Li Xingruo's expression disappeared as if the sun had evaporated, and she smiled relaxedly, stepping up the steps like a cute little finch.
"By the way, does Sister Xingruo have any brothers and sisters?"
"No, my family is just my number."
"Really? I thought you had younger siblings. Lin Lu was a little surprised, it turned out that Li Xingruo's sister fan was still born? But when he heard that she didn't have a younger sibling, he inexplicably had a sense of joy that he could monopolize a certain emotion, what kind of reaction was this......
"My mother is not in good health, I didn't give birth when I gave birth, like our town, many families have two children."
Li Xingruo looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong?" Want to recognize me as a sister? β
Lin Lu smiled evilly, and asked rhetorically: "Then if I want to recognize my sister, will Sister Xingruo give me free of charge when I make up the class later?" β
ββ¦β¦ That's not going to work! β
"Alas, what a pity."
Lin Lu said that it was a pity, but there was no pity in his heart, and he continued to stir the date pit in his mouth with a relaxed face.
When it came to the topic of brothers and sisters, Lin Lu suddenly remembered something, so he changed the topic and asked, "Does Sister Xingruo know how to make ice cream?" β
"How did you know I could make ice cream?!"
ββ¦β¦ Really? β
"Yes, I can also make cakes, Xue Mei Niang, egg tarts, and a lot of desserts, why do you suddenly ask this."
"If you have the chance, you want to eat Sister Xingruo's ice cream."
"Yes, but until then......"
The two chatted while walking, and unconsciously walked to the side of the community, Li Xingruo was talking, and suddenly her eyes were attracted by a small bamboo bush, she raised her hand to break a bamboo branch down, tore off the excess branches and leaves, and waved it gently, and the bamboo strip made a buzzing sound that broke through the air-
Lin Lu was stunned, his Adam's apple rolled a little, and asked cautiously, "Sister, what are you doing......
"Hmph, don't forget what I said, I'm very strict to give you a make-up lesson!"
ββ¦β¦ Really hit? β
"Otherwise."
The gentle sister next door suddenly became a queen with a look on her face.
