After sending the message, there was no reply for a long time.
Thinking of the things she bought online yesterday, the girl's oval face turned slightly red, and she suddenly regretted her carelessness in leaving it in the living room.
She lowered her head and looked again. The screen of her phone was dark and there was still no reply.
The girl couldn't help but clenched her phone tightly and closed her eyes gently. Under the air bangs on her forehead and under her long eyelashes, she trembled slightly. There seemed to be some fierce struggle going on in her heart, like a battle between heaven and man.
Ying Ying Ying!
No matter, just this once!
She sniffed and raised her steps.
Unexpectedly, with her head lowered as if she had done something wrong, she raised her legs and just stepped in, when her head suddenly hit something.
"oops?"
The girl covered her head and looked up, with a look of joy on her face.
"cousin."
"Eh? Zi Lu...why are you here?"
The person who came out was none other than Li Xiufeng.
He turned to say hello to the network administrator who was staring at him from behind the bar, then turned to the girl in front of him and said, "Is school out?"
"Yeah." Xia Zilu lowered her head and responded weakly.
"Let's talk as we walk."
Li Xiufeng turned around and walked outside.
Xia Zilu opened her mouth and looked at Li Xiufeng who was as if nothing had happened. She suddenly felt a little annoyed and couldn't help but puffed her lips and said:
"Cousin, I...I just sent you a message."
"Well, really?" Li Xiufeng looked at his phone in Do Not Disturb mode, smiled and shrugged.
The reason for this is naturally because his mobile phone number was leaked by a certain black fan.
Li Xiufeng hadn't thought about changing his number, but now there were too many things bound to his phone, and unbinding them one by one was too troublesome, so he simply set up the Do Not Disturb feature.
Xia Zilu was stunned for a moment, then followed immediately, her pace a little brisker.
She has a soft personality, but is actually a bit sensitive and introverted.
She usually works hard to be gregarious in school. She will secretly go back and pay attention to whatever the girls around her are talking about so that she can have a common topic with everyone the next day.
At this time, she knew that Li Xiufeng did not reply to her messages on purpose, and two shallow dimples gradually appeared on her face.
But when I thought about the package I forgot to put in the living room last night, it was nowhere to be seen when I came back at noon today.
Xia Zilu did not dare to ask Liu Jiahui first, so she had to put her last glimmer of hope in the figure in front of her who stayed at her home two months ago.
Could it be him?
Li Xiufeng, who was walking in front, flipped through his phone and saw Xia Zilu's text message.
Express package?
He turned to look at Xia Zilu, who was following behind carrying a schoolbag and walking a little absent-mindedly. He couldn't help but said, "What package is it? Is it important?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing these four words, Xia Zilu suddenly stopped like a frightened deer.
At this time, her face was flushed and her eyes were a little flustered. She glanced around and then stared down at her shoes.
Meow meow meow?
Seeing Xia Zilu's reaction, Li Xiufeng was a little confused and could only scratch his head, "I didn't see the package. Maybe my aunt put it away for you."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xia Zilu showed a very panicked look on her face. She suddenly nodded and quickened her pace, quickly passing Li Xiufeng.
Li Xiufeng:......
.......
The Internet cafe was not far from home. It was just around the corner from a shopping mall. Xia Zilu had seen Li Xiufeng coming out of the Internet cafe on the way home from school, so she went to that place to look for him this evening.
When they got downstairs, they got on the elevator. After the door closed, Li Xiufeng pressed the 11th floor button.
Glancing at Xia Zilu, who had been silent just now, his heart moved and he couldn't help but ask, "Is the stuff in that package... important?"
Xia Zilu, who was carrying her schoolbag and drooping her head, raised her head and glanced at Li Xiufeng, then lowered her head in silence and said a soft "hmm" in her mouth.
However, Li Xiufeng's next words made her face pale slightly.
"Can't... let aunt see it?"
In the elevator, looking at the face of the girl in front of him, Li Xiufeng knew that he had guessed correctly.
He looked at his uncle's single female cousin with some surprise. He usually felt that she was a standard slow-spoken and good girl, but she actually had such an unknown side.
As if she noticed the strange look in Li Xiufeng's eyes, Xia Zilu, whose face was pale and rosy, quickly waved her hand and stammered in a panic, "No...it's not what you think..."
Halfway through her words, she lowered her head again with a "嘘" sound.
Li Xiufeng:......
This cousin's character is too soft.
Forget it, forget it.
Li Xiufeng sighed and said to Xia Zilu, "I really didn't see that package. Since it's not in the living room, it's possible that my aunt put it away for you."
At this point, he paused, "Since it's something that's not convenient for my aunt to know, how about... just say it's mine?"
Hearing this, Xia Zilu suddenly felt a slight shock.
She raised her head, with a look on her face that said she was hesitant to speak, but was hesitant to speak. She muttered with some worry, "Is this really possible? But it's obviously mine..."
"It's okay, it's just a small matter, I have everything."
Li Xiufeng rarely showed his brotherly attitude and waved his hands carelessly.
Take the blame, we, Lao Li, are professionals.
bite--!
The elevator stopped on the 11th floor, and the doors slowly opened to both sides.
Li Xiufeng walked out first, turned to Xia Zilu, who had his head lowered, and said, "When you go home, pretend you don't know anything. If your aunt asks about me, I will be there."
Xia Zilu had a little tangle on her face, as if she felt that this was inappropriate.
Li Xiufeng smiled, he was open-minded.
If that's really what he was thinking,
Boy,
I think my aunt can also understand.
But thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Xia Zilu behind him strangely.
I don't understand why she bought this thing when she had nothing to do, and she is so careless and unskilled at first glance.
I remember back then...
Forget it, a good man doesn't mention his bravery in the past.
While muttering in their hearts, the two of them had already arrived at the door of their house. Li Xiufeng took out the key and opened the door.
There was a clanking sound from the kitchen, and Aunt Liu Jiahui was cooking.
Li Xiufeng changed his shoes, cast a "reassuring" look at Xia Zilu, who was looking toward the kitchen with an uneasy expression, and mouthed silently, "Don't worry, you have me."
At this time, Xia Zilu, a good girl, might have really panicked. After hearing this, she quickly nodded her head like a chicken, with a look of gratitude to Li Xiufeng on her face.
Li Xiufeng thought for a moment and was thinking about how to start a conversation.
At this time, the kitchen door opened.
Aunt Liu Jiahui, who was wearing a short-haired apron and looked capable and energetic, came out with a plate of dishes, "When I heard the door open, I knew you were back. Why are you two together today? Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Yeah." Xia Zilu nodded slowly.
After walking to the living room and putting down the dishes, Aunt Liu Jiahui turned back to the kitchen and walked to the door. She suddenly said, seemingly unintentionally, "Oh, by the way, I saw a package in the living room this morning. Well, it had Xiaolu's name on it.
"
"I'll put it away for you. Come to my room to get it in the evening."
After saying that, Liu Jiahui entered the kitchen.
Suddenly, the air in the living room was dead silent.
