Chapter 44 When the toes of the shoes touch each other
Occasionally, she was too focused, and Li Xingruo also forgot that her younger brother was sitting in front of her. She was a little tired from sitting upright for a long time, so she stretched her legs forward slightly.
So he accidentally touched Lin Lu's leg.
As if being electrocuted, Li Xingruo quickly retracted his legs and looked up at him. He was concentrating on doing the questions and didn't seem to notice.
She secretly glanced under the table - Please! Even if your legs are long, you can't take up all the space below me!
No wonder she just stretched her legs a little and touched him.
The little girl then kicked his shoes gently.
Lin Lu didn't respond.
She kicked again.
Lin Lu raised his head: "What's wrong, Sister Xingruo?"
"It's your legs! They're all here for me!"
The old mother shouted in the direction of Lin Lu's room, but did not go in to take a look. She just walked straight to the balcony, took the clothes drying pole, and took in her son's clothes that had been dried.
But I feel so panicked for no reason!!
"From Liangxi."
…
"Very good! Better than those tutors I had before!"
"You're so embarrassed! You don't know how to cook, so you dare to go to someone else's place to eat!"
"That's good."
Lin Lu hung up the phone. Inexplicably, he was a little nervous. He obviously didn't do anything bad. He was just tutoring at the sister next door, and he even made a paper very efficiently!
"Why are you wearing shoes when you're not going anywhere?"
The two of them worked and studied while making small movements under the table until a certain balance was maintained.
"...Lin Lu, where is our rice cooker?"
Although she is not a thief, she still feels guilty about being one. This is probably about herself...
Li Xingruo was writing her thesis, and Lin Lu was working on his paper. The time was ticking, and unknowingly it was past nine o'clock in the evening.
As soon as Lin Lu arrived home, Zou Wanrou walked upstairs.
"My mother!"
"My legs are long, so it's more comfortable."
She obviously didn't do anything bad, just study with her neighbor's brother, but Li Xingruo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated inexplicably at this moment, and she subconsciously held her breath and remained silent.
"Where are you from?"
Zou Wanrou looked back at him, and while putting away the clothes, she said: "I'm having dinner with my colleagues, and I happen to be here. Come over after eating and have a look. I won't dry your clothes out to see if they're washed. Don't leave them in the washing machine.
, breeds bacteria!”
"Oh, one hundred and fifty-one hours is not expensive. Hey, why did you say yesterday that the teacher cooked for you, and he also packed the meals for you?"
"Where have you been?"
"Hello, Mom."
What a terrible mother!
"Hurry up and put it away, put it away..."
Zou Wanrou wandered into the kitchen again, intending to see if he had left any unwashed dishes in the basin for soaking, but suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something missing in the kitchen...
Lin Lu answered the phone. In the quiet living room, even though there was no external sound, Li Xingruo could vaguely hear the words on the other end.
"So how do you feel about learning?"
The innocent brother just wants to be on the same page as his sister! You are the only one who thinks so much because you are not pure! You are twenty-two years old and you still have feelings for her. Isn’t it a shame?
"...!!"
"Oh, if you didn't remind me, I almost forgot."
The calm and harmonious atmosphere was suddenly broken by Lin Lu's cell phone that was placed on the table and started to vibrate. The two of them looked at the screen of the cell phone lighting up in unison.
"You, your mother is here?"
"Then you can make your own decision. You have the final say in every little thing. Mom never interferes, but you have to study hard."
When the toes of his shoes touched each other, her heart beat inexplicably a little faster——
Li Xingruo was startled, and quickly removed his big eyes from the cat's eyes, turned around and leaned against the door, his little heart beating fast.
An indescribable feeling gradually spread in Li Xingruo's heart. Perhaps this was some kind of throbbing that he had never felt in his youth?
Is this the feeling of heartbeat...?
Stop, stop, stop!
Lin Lu didn’t even react at all! Don’t tarnish the relationship between brother and sister, Li Xingruo!
"I bought it, why are you here so late?"
Li Xingruo quickly helped him pack up his papers and review materials and sent him out quickly.
"Me? No..."
The tips of their shoes finally stopped touching each other. Even their toes were numb after being pressed against each other for so long.
"No...she just cooks for herself. I pay the teacher for food and we eat together."
"You haven't gone to bed yet? Mom just arrived at the community. Did you buy the toothpaste and dish soap last time? If not, I bought them for you and took them with you."
"I know, Mom."
"..."
He moved very quickly. When he heard the call from his mother, Li Xingruo immediately pulled his legs back.
Lin Lu took a shower as soon as he came back. After taking a shower, he went to his neighbor's sister's house. If his mother didn't remind him, he would have forgotten the clothes in the washing machine.
But as soon as her shoes were put back, Lin Lu stretched out her legs again.
When he was getting a bucket of clothes in the bathroom, Zou Wanrou also carried the clothes he had brought in and put them into the room. When she passed the door, she saw the shoes Lin Lu was wearing.
Don't ask her why she is peeping, she doesn't know, she just wants to take a look.
"Okay, okay, then go back quickly..."
"Is it the teacher you talked about yesterday?"
When Li Xingruo saw that he didn't take it back, she started to fight with him. Her cute little rabbit cotton slippers pressed against Lin Lu's toe, and it took her a while to push him out a little.
She has short hair that is common among middle-aged women, carries a bag on her shoulder, and wears a pair of flat shoes. She has no fancy dress or makeup, and looks like a very ordinary mother.
Perhaps it was a woman's sixth sense. When Zou Wanrou took the key to open the door, she subconsciously glanced at the neighbor's house on the left, where she had just moved in a few days ago.
Li Xingruo had no choice but to push him out again. This time she didn't pull her legs back and pressed the toe of his shoe against his.
…
When I met my aunt that day, I felt that she was very kind, right?
The little fat cat Brynn Bling ran over, raised its tail high, and rubbed against Zou Wanrou's legs twice.
Li Xingruo didn't dare to peek anymore and vaguely heard the sound of the door opening and closing outside. She quickly hugged the computer on the dining table and hid back in the room.
Until Lin Lu hugged the cat and ran back to her home in a hurry, the reserved little girl still didn't understand it -
"Have you taken a shower?"
Lin Lu heard the sound and walked out of the room.
"I came to see you on the way."
What am I panicking about...
"Meow wow wow."
Lin Lu knew that his mother was very clear-sighted, so he didn't hide anything and confessed honestly.
"I washed it early! Mom, why are you back here so late?"
…
“The teacher is very nice.”
Zou Wanrou put the key on the entrance cabinet aside, took off the bag on her shoulder, put on the slippers at the door, and stepped into the house.
——This is what Li Xingruo, who was lying behind the door, saw through the peephole.
"Yes, let's go downstairs. Sister Xingruo, let's do this for today. I'll go back first."
"Oh...I just went to the teacher to do my homework."
Zou Wanrou glanced at him and continued to help him fold clothes.
"Yes, I also had math lessons yesterday."
The little girl secretly raised her eyes to look at Lin Lu's reaction. Seeing that he was still focused, she breathed a sigh of relief and did not look at Lin Lu again. The toes of their shoes were still touching each other, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
.
"..."
All names were called out.
Lin Lu was stunned.
wipe!
I ran too fast just now and forgot to bring the rice cooker back!
