Chapter 14: Shulan
When Shu Lan opened the door, she saw her tearful daughter and her best friend Luo Yiyi, who looked helpless next to her.
"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Shu Lan hugged her distressed and asked.
She knew her daughter so well that she wouldn't have cried if it hadn't been for a particularly serious situation.
"It's okay, Mom, I'll go back to the bedroom first." Xu Qing sniffled and walked into the bedroom with his head down.
There was a visible sense of loss and frustration in her body, as if she had been betrayed by the whole world.
"Auntie, then I'll go back first." After sending Xu Qing home, Luo Yiyi had no intention of sitting for a while, she now had too many questions to ask Panda.
For example, why is he gone, what is the matter with Su Yuning, does Lu Li really dislike Xu Qing......
"Wait a minute, Auntie will send you." Shu Lan put on a brown trench coat for herself and said hurriedly. Then without waiting for Luo Yiyi to refuse, he followed her down.
Shulan wondered why her daughter was crying so sadly.
She wanted to ask Xu Qing directly, but she was sure that if she asked directly, Xu Qing would never tell her.
So now the only key to breaking the game is Luo Yiyi.
"Yiyi, you tell Auntie, what's wrong with Qingqing?" As soon as he got downstairs, Shu Lan asked eagerly.
Looking at the anxious expression on Shu Lan's face, and thinking about Xu Qing's current appearance, Luo Yiyi hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
After all, being a mother will never harm your daughter.
"Auntie, that's it...... And then Lu Li ...... Qingqing couldn't stand it......" Luo Yiyi summed up the matter in the shortest terms.
Shu Lan's expression changed from anxiety at the beginning to doubt, and finally to solemnity.
"Ugh." Shu Lan sighed helplessly, and then looked at Luo Yiyi with grateful eyes.
"Yiyi, Auntie wants to thank you today, Auntie is very happy that Qingqing has a friend like you, Qingqing is really ...... in some aspects"
"No, no, Qingqing is very good, I'm very happy to be friends with her, she just can't accept it for a while, Auntie, persuade her more, I'll go first."
"Okay, stay safe. By the way, if Qingqing asks you at that time, you will tell her that you only told your aunt that she had a conflict with Lu Li. β
Shu Lan added another sentence at the end.
Watching Luo Yiyi go farther and farther, thousands of thoughts rushed into Shu Lan's mind, but these thoughts only turned into a sigh in the end.
She knew her daughter too well, and she knew that her daughter could do these things.
From Luo Yiyi's words, she also understood that it was Lu Li's failure to confess, and then she didn't treat Qingqing like before, and there was an extra girl by her side, and Qingqing couldn't accept it for a while.
But can this be strange?
It has been fifteen years since Shu Lan moved here, so to speak, she grew up watching Lu Li, so she knows how good this child is to Qingqing.
Even she sometimes persuaded Lu Li not to be so partial and obedient to Qingqing, but the big boy who lived in the opposite door always just smiled shyly.
And Qingqing's sometimes practices make her a mother unbearable, and when she says a few words about her, she always doesn't take it seriously, so it's okay now.
Now that people confess their failures and then decide to give up, is there a problem?
No problem at all.
"It's a mess." Shu Lan sighed helplessly, wrapped her windbreaker tightly, and walked upstairs.
β¦β¦
"Lu Li, you bastard, how can you do this to me." Xu Qing lay on the bed, buried his head in the pillow, and sobbed quietly.
was obviously very sad, but she didn't dare to cry out loud, for fear that people would notice.
As soon as she thought that Lu Li had walked away without returning today, a heart-rending pain spread in her heart.
She hadn't felt this way in years.
In the past, as long as she felt a little sad, Lu Li would take the trouble to comfort herself until her mood improved, like now......
Thinking of this, the pain in Xu Qing's heart deepened a little.
"Qingqing, can mom come in?" There was a knock on the door, and at the same time a gentle and mature female voice was heard.
Xu Qing wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, calmed down his emotions, pretended that nothing had happened, and said, "Okay, you can come in." β
The way she came back today was so abnormal that she couldn't hide it from her mother's eyes.
The door was slowly pushed open, and a woman in white silk pajamas slowly walked in.
The years don't seem to have left much of a mark on her face, even though she already has an 18-year-old daughter, but she still looks young.
And because of long-term dance practice, Shu Lan's figure is perfect, the soft silk pajamas stick to her body, outlining the perfect curve, the small watermelon on her chest is full and round, without the slightest sign of sagging, and the two exposed thighs are even more slender and plump.
Even now, when she goes out alone, young people will come up to talk to her from time to time, and when she walks with Xu Qing, she is often regarded as a sister by passers-by.
And compared with Xu Qing, she has a more charming temperament, like an old wine, which makes people can't help but indulge in it.
"Mom, I'm fine, you don't have to worry." Xu Qing was the first to speak to break the silence, "I just watched a sad movie today, that's why it's like this." β
Shu Lan didn't know that her daughter was covering up, and she felt a little distressed at the same time.
She sat at the end of the bed and said gently: "Qingqing, listen to Yiyi, you have a conflict with Lu Li, can you tell your mother why you quarreled?" β
Although she already knew the truth of the matter, Shu Lan did not say it directly, after all, she knew that her daughter was thin-skinned, and if she said it directly, maybe she would give up communicating with herself because of embarrassment.
But if it is inserted through the aspect of "two people quarreling", it will be much easier. After all, compared to Lu Li's unilateral ignoring her, "making contradictions" obviously sounds better.
"I told you everything?" Xu Qing didn't look back, still buried his head in the pillow, and said in a muffled voice.
"She told me that you had a conflict with Lu Li." Shu Lan shook her head lightly and patted Xu Qing's shoulder gently, "Can you tell your mother why you two have a conflict?" Mom remembers that the two of you had a good relationship before. β
"Lu Li confessed to me yesterday, and I refused." Xu Qing pouted and said slowly: "Then he deliberately engaged in cold and violent behavior, and directly ignored me." β
Next, Xu Qing listed Lu Li's "crimes" one by one, of course, she omitted all her mistakes and her helpless appearance in the face of Lu Li's indifference.
Under her description, Lu Li is a naΓ―ve, emotionally unstable troubled teenager, and she is a rational life coach who tries to make Lu Li realize his mistakes.
How did she know that Luo Yiyi had already told Shu Lan everything, including her appearance as if she had been betrayed by the whole world at that time.
Seeing her daughter's mouth so hard, Shu Lan felt a little funny, but she didn't show it on her face, but said gently:
"Qingqing, you mean that Lu Li deliberately ignored you. But what does Mom think, there are also your problems here. Seeing that Xu Qing wanted to refute, Shu Lan waved his hand lightly and continued to say slowly: "Look, Lu Li didn't say anything bad about you, nor did he say a bad word about you, he just didn't treat you like before, right?" β
"That's right, he just deliberately engaged in cold violence and deliberately ignored me. He is behaving like this now, where does he still treat me as a friend? Xu Qing sat up and said with some grievances: "He used to be very gentle, but now he is very indifferent, and he doesn't look like a friend at all." β
"Qingqing, do you think Lu Li is like a friend now." Shu Lan chuckled and shook his head, and said softly: "Lu Li's previous attitude towards you has gone beyond the boundaries of a friend, and his current attitude is that of a friend." β
"The reason why you don't fit in is because he just treats you as a friend and won't favor or obey you anymore."
Shu Lan's voice was very gentle, but in Xu Qing's ears, it seemed to be a needle, piercing the deepest thoughts in her heart.
She just hopes that Lu Li can always favor her unconditionally.
