It wasn't until class ended at 5:30 in the afternoon that Lin Lu finally had time to read the large number of messages she sent.
My good sister! You’re on holiday! I’m still in class! What’s going on with all these unread messages!
Since the two of them joined WeChat, they hardly chatted except for a few words about what to eat tonight after work every day. This made Lin Lu think that Li Xingruo was actually a person who didn't like sending messages on WeChat.
Thinking about it now, it was probably because we had to meet every day before, and everything we wanted to say was said during the meeting, so WeChat was rarely used.
But now that she has returned to Liangxi and has not been able to see her for the past three or two days, Lin Lu realizes that she is so good at sending messages.
Although there are a lot of news, they are basically some photos and short videos she took.
Analyzing her photos and videos from an artistic perspective... there is nothing to analyze, let’s just leave it at the level of the comment section.
However, the content in these photos and videos was quite attractive to Lin Lu.
She took pictures of various small towns and rural scenery, as well as some gadgets that he had never seen before, such as this one that requires pouring a glass of water to shake out water from a well... She said it was called a well shaker.
At noon, she seemed to be having dinner with her grandparents, because she took photos of the fire and the stuffed bitter gourd and stuffed tofu she made by herself.
In the afternoon, she seemed to have gone to help her grandma clean up the vegetable garden. She also held two very similar seedlings and asked him which one was a weed and which one was a wheat seedling...
As a kid from a big city, Lin Lu was tempted by her, but don't let him take the chance, otherwise he would really go back with her!
It was a wonderful feeling to have a girl to share his life with. Lin Lu was sitting on the bus, holding his cell phone and carefully looking at the photos and videos she sent.
I just checked the WeChat Moments, but she didn’t send these photos and videos to the WeChat Moments, and I don’t know if she has sent them to her good sisters.
In fact, Li Xingruo only sent these photos and videos to him, and even the sister group didn't bubble up for a day...
Of course Lin Lu didn't know, and even she herself didn't know why she wanted to share so many messy things with him...
In the past two months, I have gotten used to cooking dinner with her every day. Li Xingruo has gone home now, and Lin Lu is still a little uncomfortable coming home now.
Lin Lu looked at the closed door of her house for a while, then opened the door and entered the house.
The little fat cat fell asleep lying next to the goldfish tank. He was awakened by the sound of his opening the door. He lazily jumped off the table and stretched himself. Then he trotted over and nuzzled his legs.
The three little goldfish in the fish tank also adapted to the new environment, swimming slowly in the water and looking at him curiously through the glass.
Since there was no one to cook for him tonight, Lin Lu was not in a hurry to take a shower. He put his schoolbag aside and lay down on the sofa. Ge You took out his mobile phone to see what takeaway he wanted to order.
My mother and sister also had three days off, because Lin Lu said they would not be able to go to Qingming Festival this year, so they went back with Uncle Wen this morning.
No one around me was around, and I was used to living alone on the forest road, but I felt a rare sense of loneliness.
In the past, he didn't feel very tired after studying all day long. The house was quiet now. After ordering the takeaway, he felt a little sleepy, so he squinted his eyes and planned to take a short nap.
The phone held in my left hand vibrated.
He opened his eyes, held the phone in front of him and looked at it, then he propped himself up a little more, and the sleepiness he felt just now disappeared.
star: "Are you home?"
Lu: "[I won’t be sleepy if you want to say this.JPG]"
Lu: "I just arrived. I want to eat sister Xing Ruo's stuffed tofu and stuffed bitter melon."
star: "Hey, okay, I'll make it for you to try when I get back~ Have you eaten yet?"
Lu: "I just ordered takeout, how about you?"
star: "I haven't either, my mother is cooking."
Lu: "Then you didn't help with the cooking, what are you doing?"
star: "Lie down on the sofa."
Lu: "What a coincidence, so am I."
star: “I don’t believe it!”
Lin Lu casually turned on the camera and took a selfie of her.
Li Xingruo was really lying on the sofa at the moment. She returned to the town from the village at around four o'clock. She had nothing else to do and didn't know who to hang out with, so she went back to the sofa on the second floor and lay there boredly watching.
I was reading a novel and watching a short video. I was still asleep while lying down. I woke up just now. I looked at the time and remembered that Lin Lu had to finish class, so I sent him a message.
Of course the old sister was embarrassed to tell him that she was bored now, otherwise it would be like she was missing him.
Although it is certainly not boring when you first arrive home, it should be the same for every traveler who has just returned home. After the mood of returning home is released, lying down on the sofa is the final way back.
Sure enough, going home alone is different from going home with two people. Li Xingruo thought to himself, if he brought Lin Lu back with him, it would definitely be fun all the time. We could go out and have fun together during the day, and stay at home together at night without being ashamed.
...Bah, bah, bah, it’s tutoring at home! He is a younger brother, not a boyfriend!
It's obviously a very happy thing to go home, but what's going on with this inexplicable feeling of being unmotivated now...
Fortunately, after chatting with Lin Lu, Li Xingruo felt that he could do it again, especially since he also posted a selfie.
The little girl was lying crookedly on the soft sofa, not lying flat. She raised her cute white feet to the back of the sofa.
I clicked on the selfie sent by Lin Lu and saw that he was also lying on the sofa. I thought it was a coincidence. I used my fingers to zoom in on him in the photo. Hey, he has a mustache on his lips. He is so ugly.
, but she couldn't help but curl her mouth and smile, and casually saved his photo.
star: "It seems that you didn't lie to me, you were really lying on the sofa!"
Lu: "So Sister Xingruo is lying to me? Are you playing outside?"
star: "No."
Lu: "The picture above speaks for itself."
Li Xingruo also turned on the camera. Lying on the sofa and taking selfies like this, her face felt so big and ugly, so she stopped taking pictures of her face, lest Lin Lu see her ugly face when she just woke up.
star: "I don't~"
Lu: "Then tell me what your posture is now."
star: "I was lying on the sofa and put my feet on the back of the sofa! Do you believe me now?"
Lu: "If you don't believe it, how is it possible that someone can put their feet on the back of the sofa while lying down?"
star: "You wait!"
Isn't this an easy thing? Isn't it at all difficult? Seeing that Lin Lu didn't believe it, Li Xingruo changed the camera to the front, and the lens was focused on the pair of white feet resting on the back of the sofa.
Click, I took the photo and sent it to him.
In order to trick girls into showing off their cute feet or figure, LSPs on Zhihu have gone to great lengths to ask, "What do good-looking feet look like?" What is it like to have a pair of white, straight legs?
''Are there really A4 waists in this world?'
The moment Lin Lu saw the photo, he immediately became energetic. As expected, his close friends were more sincere than me!!
He moved very quickly and immediately clicked save.
Sure enough, a second after he saved it, Li Xingruo remembered that he seemed to have a unique preference for feet and immediately withdrew the photo.
Lu: "I haven't read it yet! What did Sister Xingruo withdraw?"
star: “Good stuff.”
Li Xingruo smiled secretly, but luckily he didn't see it, so she could continue to tease him.
Li Xingruo, who was originally feeling bored, immediately changed her mood after chatting with Lin Lu. She didn't even notice when her mother called her downstairs.
"...Ruoruo!"
"...Hey! What's wrong?"
"Come down for dinner! I called you several times but I still can't hear you!"
"Oh! I just woke up!"
Li Xingruo took the pillow away from his arms, got up from the sofa, and replied to Lin Lu.
star: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to eat!"
Lu: "My takeaway hasn't arrived yet. It's unhygienic and unnutritious..."
star: "Huh, who told you that you can't cook? Bye bye~!"
Li Xingruo put on his slippers and ran downstairs. Before he sat down at the dining table, he took out his cell phone and looked at it to see if he had sent any new messages.
Lin Lu's takeout also arrived. He picked up the takeout and sat down on the sofa. He originally wanted to continue chasing the three-body hunt, but he made an appointment with his sister not to sneak away, so he stopped watching.
Fortunately, Li Xingruo sent him new photos.
Lin Lu put the phone aside and, while eating takeaway, enlarged the photo to admire her white, tender and cute little feet.
…
In order not to disturb his sister's private space during her vacation, Lin Lu did not take the initiative to send her a message.
After eating, he returned to his room and took out a set of papers to review.
Strange to say, even when she was cleaning the house last night, Lin Lu could calm down and review. But now that she was away and the house was quiet and undisturbed, Lin Lu couldn't get into the review state.
Anyway, tomorrow is a day off, so Lin Lu fortunately gave up, put away his papers, took out his drawing book and brush, thinking about Li Xingruo's dress when he went out this morning, he started to write bit by bit.
Unconsciously, the time reached nine o'clock in the evening. Lin Lu looked focused, as if he was unaware of the passage of time...
Compared with the clumsy way he drew her seven years ago, Lin Lu's painting skills have undergone earth-shaking changes now. With every stroke of his pen, the girl on the white paper becomes more and more agile, her eyebrows and eyes fluttering in the wind.
hair, the texture of the luggage on her right hand, the neat leaves of the big umbrella on her left hand, her backpack, her smile...
At half past nine, Lin Lu stopped writing, admiring with satisfaction how she appeared on the drawing paper.
Just when he was about to write the date and signature, the WeChat call ring suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.
Lin Lu immediately thought it was a call from his mother. After all, except her, no one called him on WeChat.
When he picked up the phone, he was stunned. Unexpectedly, the person calling on WeChat was the protagonist of his painting - Li Xingruo.
Isn't that right? A woman's sixth sense is so strong. It's already known that I secretly drew you? Why don't you come to investigate?
It’s actually a video call!
Lin Lu answered the phone.
She appeared on the phone screen.
Li Xingruo had already taken a shower and got into bed early. Now he sat up against the head of the bed. Before making this video call to him, he turned on the camera to check whether the angle would look ugly.
.
Because he just sent him several messages but he didn't reply, Li Xingruo couldn't help but call him on video. Before the video call was connected, he felt a little nervous...
Seeing him appear on the screen, it was his room, and he was still wearing his school uniform. He looked the same as before, which made the old sister relax her slightly nervous mood.
By the way, why should I be nervous...
Yes, it's because he didn't reply to messages. My sister is worried about her brother who lives alone. Is it normal to make a video call to ask?
Lin Lu blinked, held the phone at a suitable angle, looked at the innocent and charming sister in the picture after taking a bath, and asked softly: "What's the matter, Sister Xingruo?"
"What are you doing."
In the video of the two of them facing each other, when looking into his eyes, Li Xingruo inexplicably felt his heartbeat speed up again.
"Nothing to do."
"Then I sent you several messages, but you didn't reply."
Li Xingruo said calmly: "I thought you fainted in the bathroom while taking a shower. Haven't you taken a shower yet?"
"Not yet. I was drawing just now and was so serious that I didn't notice the message. Sister Xingruo made a video call to show her concern for me?"
Lin Lu on the other end of the phone looked at her, with a Mona Lisa-like smile on his lips.
"You're thinking too much! I'm just checking to see if you're studying seriously. Also, take your phone and go outside now."
"Huh? Why?"
"I want to see my little goldfish and see if you have raised it to death~"
"Is that why you made a special video call to me?"
Lin Lu made a sad expression as if his younger brother was not as good as a little goldfish. Li Xingruo was amused by him and giggled.
"Hurry up, hurry up, if you raise the little goldfish to death, you are the only one asking me, sister!"
"You are living well."
Lin Lu took her cell phone, walked out of the room, and took a photo of the three stupid little goldfish in the fish tank.
After he changed the camera on his mobile phone to the rear one, he never changed it back.
After Li Xingruo finished looking at the little goldfish, he said again: "Put the camera back."
"Sister Xingruo, aren't you looking at the little goldfish?"
"You've finished watching it, please change the camera back, otherwise your picture will be shaking around and I'll be dizzy."
Lin Lu then changed the camera back, and Li Xingruo was satisfied when he saw him in the picture again.
"Sister Xingruo, did you take a bath and go to bed so early? Didn't you go out to play when you got home?"
"I won't go out at night! I'm going to worship my ancestors tomorrow, so I'll go to bed early. As for you, didn't you say you were going to go cycling with your classmates early in the morning? Why haven't you taken a shower yet?"
"Because I'm painting."
"What are you drawing? You are so absorbed in it..."
"Sister Hua Xingruo!"
When Li Xingruo heard this answer, he felt as if a deer was racing around in his heart.
He drew me? Why did he draw me secretly again... but he drew me when I wasn't here... Has my brother gone bad?
Isn't this her responsibility?
Before she could ask Lin Lu why he secretly drew her, Lin Lu took the initiative and said: "When I sent Sister Xingruo to the subway in the morning, there was a picture that finally inspired me. Sister Xingruo, do you know that feeling? It's that you really want to
Take a pen and write it, and then I really want to take a pen and draw it, that’s the feeling!”
"Eh...yes, yes! Occasionally, when inspiration strikes, I really want to write something!"
Li Xingruo was relieved. It turned out to be just his pursuit of art. As expected, his younger brother was pure and clear. It was time for his elder sister to reflect carefully and not to let her heart deteriorate.
"Let sister see how much you love art!" Li Xingruo said.
Lin Lu changed the lens to the rear camera and showed her the painting on the table.
Li Xingruo opened his eyes wide and looked at it carefully. He had to say that Lin Lu really loved her...and art. He painted so well.
"Lin Lu, let me ask you, do you want to eat Qingtuan?"
"What Youth League..."
Lin Lu seemed to have eaten this stuff before, but he couldn't remember clearly.
"It's made by mixing mugwort juice into glutinous rice flour and then wrapping it in stuffing."
"Sister Xingruo did it herself?"
"Yeah! It's all handmade. There are sesame fillings, peanut fillings, and bean paste fillings. Let me tell you, the green dumplings made by my sister are delicious."
"Okay, Sister Xingruo is really good."
"It's not like I brought it to you for free..." The little girl laughed evilly.
