When the doorbell rang at four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Lu was still studying in the room.
No need to guess who rang the doorbell. I originally thought that Li Xingruo would bring him the first pot of cooked rice dumplings at around two o'clock, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until four o'clock. He was probably embarrassed in front of Senior Sister Zhong Qing and
Is Senior Jiang Meng anxious to give him rice dumplings?
Stopping the pen in his hand, Lin Lu went to open the door. The girl standing outside the door was indeed her.
Li Xingruo held the little fat cat in his arms and held a bunch of rice dumplings in his hand. The rice dumplings had been cooling for a while and were now just right for eating.
"Are you reviewing?"
"Of course! I've been reading from two o'clock until now!"
Lin Lu looked at the closed door of her house and asked, "Senior Zhong Qing and the others have gone back?"
"Yeah, I just left."
Sure enough, her suspicion was confirmed. The thin-skinned sister Xingruo was too embarrassed to give him rice dumplings in front of her friends. No, Zhong Qing and Jiang Meng had just left, and she came non-stop to deliver rice dumplings.
"Going back so early, I thought the two seniors would stay at Sister Xingruo's place to have dinner together."
"Why, you can't bear to let them go?" Li Xingruo asked with a wicked smile, looking at him.
"I can't say that, but Senior Sister Zhong Qing and Senior Sister Jiang Meng are also pretty." Lin Lu followed her words and looked thoughtful.
I wanted to tease him, but I didn't expect Lin Lu to really think about it seriously. Li Xingruo was startled, slapped him angrily and warned: "Don't think nonsense! They are four years older than you! Do you think so?
Any chance?"
Lin Lu waved his hands quickly: "I didn't say that, it was Sister Xingruo who said it herself!"
"They went to watch a movie, so they should go back first."
"Sister Xingruo, why don't you go with us?"
"...Humph, it's not all because of you. If I went to play with them, what would you have for dinner and who would supervise your review? It would not worry my sister at all!"
"I'm sorry, I have become a stumbling block for Sister Xingruo."
My sister’s stumbling block? Li Xingruo likes this adjective!
By the way, when did it start that taking care of Lin Lu seemed to be my natural responsibility?
Maybe she hopes that she can become a qualified 'sister'. As for Lin Lu, what are his expectations for her?
Lin Lu, who was happy because his sister brought him rice dumplings, was bending over to open the shoe cabinet to find the new pair of slippers she wore last time.
Li Xingruo didn't know what Lin Lu expected from her, but she was sure that Lin Lu should be very satisfied with her daily care. In this way, she seemed to be recognized and felt that she usually cared for him.
Your love and care are all things that should be taken for granted.
"Sister Xingruo, please come into the room and supervise my study!"
Lin Lu made a gentleman's invitation.
"Well, the attitude is good."
As if leading an inspection, Li Xingruo took her white and tender feet out of her little bear slippers and stuffed them into the slippers he placed in front of her feet.
By the way, do I need to change my shoes? I came here wearing slippers too!
However, when she put on the slippers he prepared for her, the feeling that a certain part of her body had entered his home became more obvious. This feeling was quite good...
Because he usually ate and studied at her house, Li Xingruo only came into his house once, and that time was one night in February. However, he did not expect that the next time he entered his house, nearly four months had passed without him realizing it.
The curtains in the living room were opened, and the afternoon sunlight shone into the room. It was bright and spacious. The furnishings in the room had not changed at all from the last time we saw them. It seems that Lin Lu hardly stayed in the living room on weekdays.
His school uniform was hanging out on the balcony. He washed it last night and the white shirt swayed slightly in the wind. Li Xingruo knew about it because the second button of the school uniform was still in a small box in a drawer at her home.
Well, it’s just that this time he washed the school uniform, and next time it will probably stay in the closet forever, right?
Sure enough, people only appreciate things after they are lost. Li Xingruo suddenly missed the way he looked in his school uniform. She would let him wear it to her again when she has the chance...
My brother can't refuse my sister's little request, right?
"Hey, let's eat rice dumplings~"
Li Xingruo handed him the rice dumplings in his hand: "After eating, review quickly. It's four o'clock now. You have to make up half an hour for eating rice dumplings. You will have to read until half past five."
"Sister Xingruo is so stingy. She made dozens of rice dumplings, but she only gave me four."
Lin Lu took the rice dumplings from her hand. The temperature was just right and they were all triangular. Sure enough, although her sister was tough-tongued, she would always satisfy his little requests.
"Wrong! It's three!"
"This arithmetic can't be wrong if Momo and Yanyan do it. Aren't these four?"
"Because one of them is mine~"
Li Xingruo smiled and took one out of the four. His beautiful and slender fingers deftly untied the straw rope, peeled off the two rice dumpling leaves, and inhaled the fragrance of the rice dumpling leaves and the large pieces of meat, mushrooms, and salted egg yolk inside.
The glutinous rice balls containing shrimps and other ingredients are exposed.
She opened her small mouth and bit down from the raised corners of the rice dumpling with her teeth. She nodded while eating, very satisfied with her craftsmanship.
"Sister Xingruo, didn't you eat just now?"
"No, I wasn't hungry just now~"
"That's why you came here to grab a rice dumpling from me!"
Lin Lu also peeled off the rice dumpling and took a bite. It tasted really good, just like her sister's.
"I still have a lot of pills in the refrigerator. Just go and get them after you finish eating. I'm afraid you might have indigestion if you eat too much at once! So here are three pills. Take one now, one for midnight snack, and one for breakfast tomorrow.
"
"Have you even made arrangements for eating rice dumplings for me?"
"Hmm, aren't you very touched?"
Li Xingruo didn't tell him. In fact, she had already thought about what to make him for breakfast and dinner during the three days of his college entrance examination.
Compared with when Lin Lu was at her house, Li Xingruo was still a little more reserved at his house, like a little animal that was adopted home for the first time. She sat on a chair obediently and ate rice dumplings while curiously familiarizing herself with his house.
environment.
Because there were no elders around, she soon felt more at ease. She glanced at the fan next to the TV, and then Blinbulin came over. Her hands were oily from eating the rice dumplings, and she used her delicate index finger to press the fan switch.
Although it is only June, the daily temperature in southern Jiangsu has already reached 32 degrees, which is no lower than the cities in Guangdong and Guangzhou. Winter is very cold. Subzero temperatures are very common. Sometimes it snows, which is not as high as in the north.
Heating! It’s really wet and cold when it’s raining, sleeting, and snowing!
However, the four seasons in southern Jiangsu are quite distinct, with spring flowers, summer lotus, autumn moon, and winter snow. This is probably the unique charm of the Jiangnan area. Different regions breed people with different characteristics. Li Xingruo is an authentic Jiangnan girl, warm and
The gentleness of water seems to be the temperament engraved in the bones.
"Sister Xingruo, is it hot? Let's turn on the air conditioner." Lin Lu said, going to turn on the air conditioner.
"No, the air conditioner in the living room consumes a lot of electricity, and it's not very hot. Just blow on the fan."
Li Xingruo said and looked at Lin Lu again. This guy was actually sweating on his forehead. He asked in surprise: "Are you so hot?"
"I have been blowing the air conditioner in the room just now. It will definitely be hot when I come out."
"Then the air conditioner will be turned on until dawn at night?"
"yes."
"I really enjoy it. Sister, I only need to turn on the air conditioner for three or four hours at night."
“But it’s really nice to cover yourself with the quilt while the air conditioner blows on!”
"Eh? You like it too?"
"Sister Xingruo, if the air conditioner stops in the middle of the night, won't she wake up from the heat?"
"No, it's very comfortable and I'll be able to sleep until dawn. If I leave it on all the time, it'll be cold~"
"It seems that girls are more afraid of the cold than the heat."
Lin Lu thought to himself, could this be caused by the dressing habits since childhood? After all, girls wear at least one more piece of clothing than boys all year round.
He had already finished one rice dumpling, and he still felt a little unsatisfied. When he was about to eat one more, Li Xingruo patted his hand holding the rice dumpling: "How dare you eat it in front of my sister?!"
"How about eating another one? Sister Xingruo's rice dumplings are so delicious!"
"No, you have to restrain yourself and eat as much as you like after the college entrance examination."
The younger brother praised the rice dumplings she made for being delicious. The older sister was happy, but she was not allowed to eat more.
Seeing Lin Lu's expression that he couldn't hold back his desire, Li Xingruo reminded hesitantly: "Anyway, you have to restrain yourself these days, in many things! Don't affect your exam status. After the college entrance examination, you can do whatever you like.
Reward whatever you want."
Lin Lu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, and asked curiously: "What does Sister Xingruo mean?"
"Who, who knows what you usually do at home? My sister is just a routine reminder."
The little girl blushed slightly. Although she knew that boys all over the world would do strange things in the lonely night, even Lin Lu could do it, she could understand it... but she heard that such things would also affect her state!
I want to remind Lin Lu, but I can’t say it out loud. This sister is really worried!
Seeing her shy look, Lin Lu suddenly understood and hurriedly raised his fingers and swore:
"Sister Xingruo, please believe me, I haven't had a fight for a week..."
"Yeah! What are you talking about!"
Before Lin Lu could finish his words, the sister beside him interrupted him with a blushing face. The little girl was ashamed and annoyed. Who wants to know such a thing!
"I said I haven't played games for a week. What are you thinking, Sister Xingruo?"
"…………"
Go to hell! Go to hell!
For a moment, Li Xingruo wanted to twist off his head and wrap it in a rice dumpling.
The little girl glared at him angrily, rolled up the finished rice dumpling leaves and threw them into the trash can. She got up and went to the kitchen to apply some dishwashing liquid and wash her hands.
Lin Lu also washed her hands, went to the refrigerator and got a can of coconut juice for her to drink, and thoughtfully helped her pull the ring apart.
Li Xingruo looked at the time and urged: "Okay, stop dawdling, get out the book and review!"
As the supervising teacher, she had already taken a seat on the dining table and chairs. She had been a tutor for Lin Lu for so long, and both of them had tutored at the dining table.
"Go to my room."
Lin Lu said: "I turned on the air conditioner in my room. The living room is too hot. I can't read in peace. How about I turn on the air conditioner in the living room?"
Li Xingruo thought about the same truth. When she was in high school, reviewing in the classroom in the summer was simply torture. Fortunately, in her last year, the classroom was equipped with air conditioning, which made it a little more comfortable.
"Then, you can go to your room to review by yourself. I will supervise you in the living room."
"Why, my room has air conditioning, and it's on. Why don't Sister Xingruo come in and blow it?"
"I'm not very hot..." Li Xingruo wiped the sweat from his forehead calmly.
"Sister Xingruo, are you embarrassed to enter my room? It's not like I haven't been here before."
"What am I embarrassed about? I'm afraid of disturbing your review!"
"No, Xiaoman has gone in to blow up the air conditioner. Sister Xingruo, come in, come in."
Lin Lu sincerely extended the invitation. I don't know whether his voice was too beguiling or the weather was really too hot. Li Xingruo felt that he couldn't stay in the living room, so he had to sip lemon tea, hold his mobile phone, and follow him into the room.
Room.
Anyone who has used air conditioning in the summer knows that the most enjoyable part of using air conditioning is not staying inside all the time, but the moment you walk into the air-conditioned room from the sultry environment outside, the refreshing taste is like drinking it out of the refrigerator.
The first sip of Coke really makes people feel comfortable from the hair to the toes, and every pore on the skin is cheering for joy!
The moment he opened the door and walked into his room, Li Xingruo shuddered in relief, as if he had been holding the hot breath in his chest for a long time before letting out a long breath.
So cool!
Feel the slight sweat on the surface of the skin evaporate quickly, and the sticky and uncomfortable feeling is immediately replaced by refreshing.
"Sister Xingruo, close the door quickly! The air conditioner is going to run out!"
Lin Lu reminded, Li Xingruo quickly closed the door.
Now it was better. Not only did he enter his room, but he also closed the door. After enjoying the refreshing feeling brought by the air conditioner, Li Xingruo also felt slightly uneasy.
After all, the room was a very private space. Even if Lin Lu went to her house every day, she never let Lin Lu stay in her room with the door closed like this.
As soon as the door was closed, I felt that the atmosphere of this small space had become ambiguous inexplicably. Maybe it was because of the big bed in front of me, which always made people think about it.
Li Xingruo was a little nervous, holding lemon tea in his hand and drinking it, but his big eyes were watching Lin Lu's performance vigilantly.
Only then did she feel that she was wearing a bit thinly, a loose white T-shirt and a pair of shorts that were as short as her thighs.
What if Lin Lu suddenly becomes animalistic, pounces on him, and does something treacherous to his sister like he did in his dream that day...?!
Fortunately, she is standing here at the door of the room. If something goes wrong, she will run away immediately!
However, after observing Lin Lu for a while, she found that there was nothing unusual about him. He honestly pulled out his chair and sat down in front of the desk, without even looking at her.
"..."
Damn it, is it my sister that I am not charming enough? It must be that I have too much self-awareness. How could he be interested in my elder sister?
Lin Lu's calm behavior made her gradually let go of her vigilance. Dora C Ruo also left the door that was most convenient for escape with peace of mind and walked into his room.
When she was about to find a place to sit down, she discovered that there was only one chair in the room, and it was occupied by Lin Lu. He was studying, so naturally she couldn't let him change seats.
"There are no chairs." Li Xingruo reminded.
"Just sit on the bed." Lin Lu looked back and pointed at the big bed behind him.
"I didn't take a shower because I was afraid it would stain your bed."
"My room has a separate bathroom. Sister Xingruo can take a bath here."
"...Get lost! Who wants to take a bath here with you!"
"It's okay. Sister Xingruo still smells good even if she hasn't taken a shower. Feel free to sit on the bed. But my bed is a bit messy. Sister Xingruo, don't dislike it."
