Liu Changqing, who had just turned his bicycle around and was about to leave, heard Li Wanran's words.
After school, after delivering Li Wanran to his doorstep as he had done a few days ago, Liu Changqing prepared to send Qin Ruoliu home.
But Li Wanran's sudden call to stop made him stop leaving.
Looking at Qin Ruoliu who was also looking at him, Li Wanran's eyes stayed on her for about three seconds, and then looked at Liu Changqing on the bicycle in front of him.
She accidentally heard three seconds of their conversation.
Probably Qin Ruoliu gave Liu Changqing two watermelons, and then through this topic, the two of them talked non-stop as if they had opened up a conversation.
This made Li Wanran unable to interrupt for a while.
Therefore, she thought of something while Liu Changqing was sending her home.
She also has fruits!
A better fruit than watermelon!
With a slightly heavy face, Li Wanran looked at Liu Changqing on the bicycle and said word by word.
"I'll get you some fruit. Thank you for sending me home these days."
"No, I haven't finished the watermelon she gave me yet..."
"..."
He was about to decline Li Wanran's kindness, but before he could finish his words, Liu Changqing noticed that Li Wanran's expression was becoming more and more uncomfortable.
As if a little angry.
Then he thought about the principle of not taking advantage of the bastard.
Don’t you want what was given to you for free?
Isn’t there something wrong with your brain?
After thinking about this, Liu Changqing hurriedly changed his sentence.
"Although I haven't finished eating yet, I still want to try other fruits."
"Well, wait here for a while."
"It's okay if you mean it. Don't get delicious and expensive fruits like dragon fruit, durian and kiwi. It's too expensive!"
Li Wanran, who had just turned around and walked a few steps, heard Liu Changqing's words, and a smile appeared on his originally dull face.
Others may not feel much after hearing this, but judging from her laughter, it is quite interesting.
I obviously want to eat these, but I pretend not to want them.
He pursed his lips and walked quickly back to his home.
As she entered the room, Liu Changqing's face showed a look of anticipation.
Compared with him, Qin Ruoliu on the side felt a little confused.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Li Wanran seemed a little hostile to her. When she chatted with Liu Changqing for a few words after class, she could feel the eyes from behind her.
It was the same just now.
Staring at myself strangely, it looks like...
Lifting up his lowered head, Qin Ruoliu just wanted to tell Liu Changqing the doubts in his heart.
But just when he raised his head, he saw a figure in the corner of his sight.
Wei Wei was stunned.
Qin Ruoliu turned his gaze to where the man was and gently pushed his mirror frame with his hand.
What caught her eyes was the woman standing by the window.
The window was open, but the screen was closed.
The man was standing there.
His hair looked a little messy, and his face looked too pale compared to ordinary people, as if he hadn't been in the sun for a long time.
Because of the distance, it's hard to see the other person's facial features clearly, but from those exposed shoulders...
"Liu Changqing..."
After dragging his feet on the ground for a few steps, Qin Ruoliu, who was sitting on the bicycle, approached Liu Changqing's position.
Didn't look away.
Hearing the other party's call, Liu Changqing, who was in daydream, turned his head and looked at Qin Ruoliu beside him.
He stretched out his arm, patted him gently, and then motioned for the other person to look upstairs.
"Is that person... a family member of Li Wanran?"
"ah?"
With a confused sound, Liu Changqing followed her gaze and saw a mature and beautiful woman.
His gaze only stayed on her face for less than a second, and then moved downwards.
"This must be her mother, I don't know for sure."
"But...why is she standing there?"
"If you ask me, how do I know? I'll probably read something else."
With that said, Liu Changqing withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.
I was thinking in my heart.
He's such an old man, and he doesn't even dress well at home.
Not ashamed either.
After all, it is the other person's home, and they are free to dress how they want, and an outsider like him has no right to talk about it.
All he could do was not look.
It's just... I didn't pay attention at first. After Qin Ruoliu's reminder, although I wasn't looking at the woman on the second floor, I always felt that she was staring at me.
This feeling becomes stronger as time goes by.
Until he couldn't bear it any longer and once again turned his attention to the window.
However, this time there was no trace of the other party.
The curtains were also drawn.
I got goosebumps all over my body.
Liu Changqing always felt that the atmosphere at this moment was a bit like a horror movie he had watched in his previous life.
If you think about it carefully, their house is very big and luxurious, but it always feels like it lacks some vitality.
Even Li Wanran's personality is strange.
Although it's been a bit normal these days...
But Liu Changqing clearly remembers that when he saw him for the first time, although he was smiling, his eyes were slightly dull...
"Awaited."
Li Wanran's voice came, and she immediately ran towards Liu Changqing carrying a large bag of fruits and vegetables.
Passing through the courtyard, we arrived at the gate.
He handed the fruit in his hand over, maybe seeing his not so good expression, he asked as if he was concerned.
"What's wrong?"
"nothing……"
After receiving the fruits handed over by the other party, Liu Changqing didn't bother to look at what was there, and just put them all into the small basket in front of him.
Hesitated.
"That... uncle isn't at home?"
"My dad hasn't come back yet."
"You are the only one at home?"
"..."
Hearing Liu Changqing's question, Li Wanran, who looked like a young girl but was actually still mature, immediately thought of something else.
First he glanced at Qin Ruoliu, then straightened his chest.
He came closer and said with narrowed eyes.
"It's a pity that my mother is at home. I can go to you tomorrow and Saturday..."
"What did you say?"
Liu Changqing was really frightened when he heard the other party say such harsh words.
If he couldn't hear this naked hint, his brain must not be fully developed.
He hurriedly turned the car around and started pedaling hard without even saying hello.
In an instant, he rode a distance.
Qin Ruoliu, who had been staying aside, saw his move, and after reacting, he quickly chased after him on his bicycle.
He was still shouting words like "Wait for me~".
Watching the two people leaving, Li Wanran silently raised his hand and placed it on his chest.
Feeling his own heartbeat, there was a slight smile on his face.
A smile that comes from...the heart.
Sure enough...he showed that expression...
So cute.
Turn around and walk towards the house.
I just closed the door behind me and put on indoor shoes.
Li Wanran hadn't walked a few steps when he heard the sound of people coming downstairs.
His eyes also looked over.
Looking at my mother who was dressed in fresh clothes and slowly walked downstairs.
Looking at each other...
"You like him, right?"
Such words came from Ye Rong's mouth, and she walked down the stairs step by step with bare feet.
Until I stood in front of my daughter.
Looking at this face that looks a bit like myself and similar to that man.
Looking at...his daughter.
There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
