Li Shiyi is in the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School.
The renovation workers were dismantling the door frames of each window, using electric drills and hammering, and harsh sounds reached their ears.
Last time when Liu Weicheng and her mother and daughter had dinner, they said that they would take him with them to help take care of the decoration.
Thinking of Liu Weicheng's help to her, Li Shiyi agreed immediately.
The other party did bring her to school early this morning, but she followed Liu Weicheng like a pendant the whole time.
Watching the other party and the decorator discussing what to do.
Suddenly Liu Weicheng said that he had forgotten something at home and wanted to go back to get it, and asked himself to help take care of it for a while.
Then he left.
At this moment, apart from the decoration workers, only Li Shiyi and her daughter were left in the huge canteen.
Yunyun, on the other hand, disliked the noisy environment and was playing at the door of the canteen without knowing what she was doing.
He happened to be in Li Shiyi's line of sight, which didn't worry her as a mother.
Looking at the workers working in front of her, Li Shiyi felt uncomfortable all over.
From beginning to end, she just stood...like a sculpture.
Outside the cafeteria door.
Wu Yunyun was squatting on the ground, wearing a floral skirt and a pair of children's sandals, looking attentively at the ants lined up on the ground.
He muttered words in his mouth.
"Fifteen...sixteen...seventeen..."
She is passing the time by counting ants.
I thought I could see Uncle Liu and let him tell me a story, but who would have thought that Uncle Liu would come and leave after a while.
Haven't come back until now.
The reason why I chose to play in front of the cafeteria was to wait for Liu Weicheng to see him as soon as possible after he came back.
Then...let him read the picture book to himself.
Squatting down, holding the picture book I brought from home tightly, I counted to twenty and got stuck. After thinking for a while, I started counting from the beginning again.
"One, two, three, four, five..."
"Yunyun, why are you squatting at the door?"
"Uncle Cow!"
Just when he was about to count to six, a question from a distance came into his ears.
Hearing that familiar voice, Yunyun immediately dropped the ant she had been observing for nearly half an hour, stood up in a hurry and was about to fly in the direction of Liu Weicheng.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a strange woman following him, holding a dog and looking solemn.
He took two steps and slowly stopped.
Standing there, Yunyun looked at Liu Weicheng who was walking in her direction and the strangers following behind her. She was a little afraid of strangers and tightened the picture book in her arms.
After Liu Weicheng came to his side, he hid beside Liu Weicheng like a hide-and-seek.
He leaned out half of his body and looked at the strange woman curiously.
And...the dog the other person was holding.
Raising his hand and placing it on Yunyun's head, Liu Weicheng proved it to Lin Nianwei behind him.
"Did you hear that? I'm her uncle, not the pangolin you mentioned."
After saying that, Liu Weicheng lowered his head and looked at Yunyun who was holding him, and his tone of voice became much softer.
"Where's your mom?"
"Still in there!"
After responding, Yunyun looked away from the dog. She also picked up the drawing book she had been holding in her arms at this moment, and raised it high against Liu Weicheng's belly.
"I want to hear a story! A story from my uncle!"
Seeing the scene of the two people getting along, Lin Nianwei began to believe that the other person was not the pangolin she knew.
only……
Thinking of the way Yunyun addressed each other just now.
"Your surname is Niu? A rare surname."
"It's not a cow, it's a Liu."
Liu Weicheng turned around and warned, patting the child's little head.
"This kid doesn't speak Mandarin very well. He's always indistinguishable. I don't care if he yells a lot."
"Then what's your full name?"
"Liu Weicheng, what about you?"
"Lin Nianwei."
After introducing herself, Lin Nianwei didn't say anything else.
Following Liu Weicheng into the canteen, it was indeed as he said when he arrived, the interior of the canteen was being renovated.
Doubts were dispelled.
Although she still couldn't figure out why the man named Liu Weicheng in front of her was so similar to the pangolin in her memory, but at this point she had no better evidence to prove that the other man was lying.
In addition, the dog was defiled, and she no longer had much energy to explore the truth at this moment.
He held the dog leash and looked around the canteen, hiding his inner sorrow and leaving the place in despair.
Before leaving, I didn’t even say goodbye to Liu Weicheng.
In the cafeteria, Li Shiyi, who saw Liu Weicheng coming back, was about to step forward, but stopped midway when she saw the woman following him.
It wasn't until the other party left that he approached him and asked.
"who's that person?"
"I just met someone, so I'm not very familiar with him."
Staring at Lin Nianwei's leaving figure, Liu Weicheng answered.
Perhaps the explanation process was too cumbersome, and he didn't want to sort it out for Li Shiyi from beginning to end.
On the other hand, Yunyun on the side couldn't wait any longer and hurriedly pulled Liu Weicheng to pester him to read the picture book to her.
Looking at Liu Weicheng who had taken his daughter's drawing book, Li Shiyi did not continue to ask. Instead, she walked forward with a smile and listened to the story the other party read to her daughter.
Lin Nianwei on the other side was heartbroken.
Look at the dog on the other end of the rope, sticking out his tongue because of the hot weather.
My whole heart felt like it had fallen into a hole in the ice.
When she set out this morning, she had already fantasized about the other half of her dog, which must also be a Samoyed and be good-looking.
But...it backfired.
Not only did it not find its other half, but a big yellow dog came out of nowhere and took over it first.
Especially when she saw two dogs stuck together and she couldn't separate them.
That kind of powerlessness, that kind of humiliation...
I walked out of the school gate with my dog in despair. When I passed by the guard room, I didn't even notice that the guard was fast asleep.
Walk straight towards the parking spot.
One step after another.
He didn't even notice the call coming from behind him...
It wasn't until Duan Yining ran over panting and grabbed her that Lin Nianwei, who was in a state of despair, came back to her senses.
He turned to look at his friend who was chasing him out of the school and listened to his anxious inquiry.
"Where have you gone? Didn't you agree to wait for me at the school gate?"
"..."
He looked at Duan Yining in silence.
My heart, which had been beating faster because of the trot, had begun to slow down.
Looking at the aggrieved friend in front of him, his eyes fell on the refreshed Samoyed beside him, sticking out his tongue.
"This is the one you raised. It looks quite cute."
"..."
"I've already asked for it for you. I'll wait two days before..."
"Wow! My dog is dirty!"
Before Duan Yining finished speaking, she was drowned out by Lin Nianwei's shout the next second.
Her whole body trembled with fear, and before Duan Yining could react, she was hugged by her friend in front of her.
All the grievances burst out at this moment.
This sudden voice suddenly woke up the lazy doorman.
Looking at the pair of hugging figures through the glass, looking at the female teacher who was rummaging through the trash can at the school gate not long ago...
His head shook slightly, and a very puzzled person said to himself.
