Occasional extravagance is also an important embodiment of the sense of ritual in life.

Think about why I feel that there is no taste of the year now, not to mention anything else, just the things eaten on this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner are already daily dishes that are tired of eating, and naturally there is less expectation for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

In order to celebrate my sister's work, I won't cook tonight and order pizza to eat.

When he got home from work, Lin Lu ordered a crayfish crispy chicken pizza, plus an Orleans chicken thigh, a tender chicken nuggets, and two cups of Coke.

By the time Li Xingruo came over after taking a shower, the pizza was almost delivered.

Except for the time to sleep, after entering June, Li Xingruo spent more than twice as much time in his house as he did in hers, who made his living room big, the sofa soft, and the air conditioner.

"Sister Xingruo, I solemnly suggest that you move over and live with me." Lin Lu said while eating Orleans chicken legs.

"Why?" Li Xingruo took a knife to cut the pizza, and the fragrant smell made her index finger move.

There's a play!

In the past, when I suggested this, my sister refused without hesitation, why did she ask him like this, didn't she just want her brother to help her find a reason.

Lin Lu immediately became energetic, and he only ordered one of the Orleans chicken thighs, and he tore off a piece of the chicken thigh meat with gloves and fed it to his sister's mouth.

My sister, who had just finished taking a bath, her lips were so delicate that they looked like petals peeled from the buds, she opened her mouth slightly, and swallowed the chicken thigh meat that Lin Lu fed to her mouth.

"Save money!"

Lin Lu immediately grasped his sister's pain point and continued: "Sister Xingruo doesn't plan to save money. ”

"I've been saving money."

"That's right, as long as Sister Xingruo comes to live with me, I only charge you 1,000 yuan a month for rent, including water and electricity bills, Sister Xingruo only needs to cook for me every day, and help me dry my clothes and do housework by the way!"

"I don't want it."

Li Xingruo twisted a piece of pizza to block Lin Lu's mouth, not letting him ask again.

"Okay, if Sister Xingruo wants to move in with me in the future, Sister Xingruo will tell me by herself, and I won't ask anymore." Lin Lu said vaguely while eating pizza.

"Just kidding, how could my sister mention such a thing, you think you're not as shy as you are."

Li Xingruo also ate a piece, the taste is very fragrant, the ingredients are very sufficient, and the taste of the barbecue sauce is refreshing.

It's really a stupid brother, I don't know how to keep my distance, although my sister and brother are not much clean now, but it's okay to play with small hands and hug each other, what if I live together, what if I accidentally coax him to bed.

The reserved sister will not be able to take you for this kind of thing!

When you think about it, there's no excuse to live together.

The sister and brother sat on the soft sofa with the cat, eating pizza beautifully, when Li Xingruo's mobile phone on the desktop came to WeChat call.

"Sister Xingruo, your mother called you."

"Shhhh

Li Xingruo picked up his mobile phone and connected the phone.

It was the first time for Lin Lu to see her sister talking to her aunt, so she secretly sat closer to Li Xingruo, wanting to eavesdrop on what her aunt would say to her.

"Hello? Mom~"

Because Lin Lu is next to her, the old sister is not so coquettish with her mother, otherwise the tone of this 'mother' will have to be two degrees more tactful.

"Ruoruo, have you eaten?"

"Eating, what about you?"

"Eat, eat, you're at home?"

Li Xingruo looked at Lin Lu's house, then looked at him beside him, and replied a little weakly: "Well......"

Lin Lu overheard, angry and funny, and said with his lips on the side: "Sister Xingruo, you are lying!" ’

Li Xingruo pursed his lips and glared at him fiercely, not allowing him to make a sound.

"I thought you went out to eat with your colleagues, didn't you turn positive today, didn't you invite your colleagues to dinner?"

"No, I'll invite them to drink milk tea."

Speaking of milk tea, Li Xingruo was a little thirsty, she held the phone in one hand, and stretched out her other hand towards Lin Lu, she moved her palm, meaning to ask him to help take off the oily gloves.

The caring brother was very smart, and immediately understood, and helped his sister take off her gloves, revealing her white and tender little hands.

While talking to his mother, Li Xingruo pointed to the Coke in Lin Lu's hand.

Lin Lu was stunned.

He put the Coke down, then put his hand on his sister's palm and took her backhand.

Li Xingruo's eyes widened, his pretty face was slightly red, and he turned his head to look at him incredulously.

Stupid brother! I'm asking for Coke! It's not about leading!

Li Xingruo glanced at him angrily and pulled his little hand out of his palm.

Not to mention, the feeling of being held by him while talking to my mother on the phone is really exciting.

She took the Coke herself, didn't let Lin Lu eavesdrop on the phone anymore, got up and opened the balcony door and walked outside.

“…… What if, what if? ”

"What's wrong with you, Mom?"

"What are you doing, Mom didn't even hear you talking."

"Huh? I—I'm looking for something......"

"Looking for something, listen to my mother, it's really ...... to find a boyfriend"

I don't know when my mother learned her talents, and any topic can be turned to finding a partner in the end.

She closed the balcony door and watched Lin Lu play with the little fat cat inside, waiting for her to finish the phone call and eat pizza together.

Thinking that now her colleagues know that Lin Lu is her boyfriend, this time Li Xingruo didn't pull with her mother, her big eyes turned around, she took the phone and lowered her voice and said:

"I—I have someone I like."

Chen Yingping on the other end of the phone was also stunned.

"What? What did you just say? ”

"I said, I have someone I like!"

"It's really fake, you didn't lie to your mother, and your mother didn't urge you, of course, if you have someone you like, your mother will be happier......"

"Really, really!"

Li Xingruo looked at Lin Lu inside through the balcony door, and for the first time in her old age, she told her mother that she had someone she liked, and as soon as she said this, she didn't know if it was because she had just come out of the air-conditioned room or something, she suddenly felt that her pretty face was hot.

"The person you like is a man, right?"

“…… What! It must be a man! Otherwise, it's still a woman? Mom, what kind of short videos do you watch all day long! ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Chen Yingping on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "Other people's daughters are all in love openly and secretly, but you are quiet and silent, and my mother still thinks you like women." ”

“…… Your daughter is a normal person. ”

"How's the boy looking?"

"He is 1.83 meters tall, with good facial features, very handsome."

"Where's the man?"

"Sunan."

"Where did you graduate?"

This question is stumped for me, I can't say that I just graduated from high school!

“…… Su Da. ”

"Where do you work?"

“…… It's downstairs from my company. ”

"What kind of work are you doing?"

“…… He's a designer, a painter! ”

"What about the salary? What about family conditions? Is your personality good? How many people are in the family? ”

“…… Mom, do you check your account? ”

"Then the man that our baby girl has a crush on, your mother and I can't help you keep an eye on it?"

"He, he's fine, you can rest assured."

Chen Yingping on the other end of the phone was described by her daughter, and her tone became excited: "Then you can take him home another day to have a look!" ”

Li Xingruo was startled, and hurriedly explained with a red face: "This is where is this, I, I just like it, and I am not together, how can I take him back!" ”

“…… That's okay, you told your mother for a long time, and you haven't even held someone's hand or kissed your mouth? ”

"No, no, oh Mom, can you be tactful, it's embarrassing."

"What's so embarrassing about this, if you fall in love, if your boyfriend and girlfriend don't hold hands or kiss each other, what's the point of talking, buddy."

"That's also in the future, didn't I say it, we're not in that kind of relationship yet!"

"So what's your relationship now?"

"Sister and Brother ......"

"What? The young man is younger than you, huh? ”

"It's, it's normal!"

"How young are you?"

"Four...... It's a year old. ”

"Eleven??"

"One year old!"

If Li Xing didn't dare to say that number, he was afraid that his mother's heart would not be able to bear it, and he was afraid that his parents who had daughters in the world would officially work for their daughters, but if he talked about a high school student who had just graduated, his heart would not be able to bear it......

"It's a year old, it doesn't matter."

Hearing his mother's relaxed tone, Li Xingruo also became arrogant, and said hesitantly: "I, I remember wrong, it seems to be two years old......

"Oh, two years old, it doesn't matter, people are mature and responsible, hey no, didn't you just say that he went to work, why is he two years younger than you?"

"He's still in college......"

"Huh?"

"But! But he's very capable! Although I am still studying, I can make money myself! It's a part-time job, but the salary is higher than mine! ”

"Oh...... What is his character, character is the most important, whether he is responsible, whether he has a sense of responsibility, whether he will be attentive. ”

"No, no, no! He's very single-minded! I've never been in a relationship before! Don't look at him younger than me, but he is very responsible and responsible! And not arrogant, very self-motivated! ”

"Then you can try, it's not too many years old anyway."

Hearing his mother's approving attitude, Li Xingruo was a little more arrogant, and said hesitantly: "I...... That seems to be a mistake, it seems to be three or three years old? ”

“…… What about you bargaining with your mother?! You don't know how old you are? ”

"Oooh! I remembered, two years old! Two years old! ”

Seeing that his mother's attitude seemed to be hesitating, Li Xingruo didn't dare to test it anymore, anyway, let's fool around first, it's a big deal to confess after a few years, isn't it the same.

Just like she needs to wait for Lin Lu to grow up, she has to give her mother a psychological buffer space......

"You'd better be!"

"When、Of course it is.,I don't know how old I am.,Mom, don't worry.,Others are really good.,Besides......"

"Say anything more?"

"Besides, I didn't deal with anyone else, even if I was four years old...... Five-year-old, six-year-old, seven-year-old, that's okay. ”

“…… It won't be really seven years old, Mom didn't joke with you, if it's really seven years old, Mom doesn't agree, isn't this a joke. ”

"How is that possible!"

"You really like people, huh? What's the picture? ”

“……”

The mother asked so seriously, even if the mother was not by her side, Li Xingruo couldn't help blushing, lowered her head and looked at the twisted fingers in a daze.

What's the picture, what else can be pictured, the picture is the kind of down-to-earth warmth and peace of mind he brings, the kind of unique preference.

She suddenly remembered a line in "Wulin Gaiden", once she likes someone, she has nothing else to ask for, as long as she can see him every day, she already feels very lucky, life is very short, like a white horse passing through a gap, fleeting, but this mood is very long, like mountains and rivers, endless.

Li Xingruo didn't explain much to his mother, but just said hesitantly:

"Anyway, anyway, I already have someone I like now, so you don't have to rush me anymore, wait for me...... I've got him in my hands and I'll take him home to show you! ”

"How long will that take?"

I'm also waiting for him to grow up, how can he handle it at the age of nineteen, woo......

“…… Soon, soon, soon! You can rest assured! ”

"You really didn't lie to me, Mom."

"Nope!"

"Then when are you going to bring him back to me and your dad to show me?"

"Three years ......! In less than three years! I'll take him back to Liangxi! ”

"Three...... Year?! ”

“……”

"Ruoruo, you didn't just talk nonsense to fool your mother, did you? Mom is not urging you, if you don't like it, Mom won't mention it in the future. ”

"Really! It's true! ”

"Then you can send a picture of him to your mother later."

“…… Good. ”

"Okay, then you take care of yourself more, ask that boy to eat more, if our family is so good at cooking, my mother won't believe you can't take him."

"I know, I know, the phone is out of gas, goodbye Mom!"

"Hey, will you go back to Liangxi next month?"

"There was no holiday in July."

"What about August?"

"It's not fake."

"What about the weekend?"

"I don't want to go back to ...... on the weekend Wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival! I'll go back to the Mid-Autumn Festival! ”

“…… I didn't come back in June, I didn't go back in July, I didn't go back in August, so when the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, you'd better bring the young man you said back with you! ”

“……”

Hung up the phone, Li Xingruo put her hands behind her back, the evening breeze stirred her hair, she looked at the night sky in the distance, and couldn't help but start to sigh that life is not easy, and her sister sighed.

After a while, after the expression on her face softened, she opened the balcony door with a solemn face.

"Sister Xingruo's phone call? Let's move on to pizza! ”

“……”

Li Xingruo didn't answer his words, but just walked over with a blank face and empty eyes.

Lin Lu was stunned, thinking that he had just held his sister's hand, which made her angry now.

Before he could apologize, he saw his sister running to the sofa, a standard taxi got down, and bowed down to Lin Lu in a posture of confession + petition.

“……？！”

"Why did my sister make this great gift! I can't help it! Hurry up! ”

"Woo...... Sister I'm sorry for you, I told my mom that you're my boyfriend, and you want to save my sister! Woohoo......"
