Neighbors are cute today too

Chapter 16 Appearances Are Deceptive

Lin Lu put the cat down, and the cat ran into the house.

Li Xingruo is busy tidying up the things on the floor of the living room. She got off work at 05:30 today, and it will be 06:30 when she comes back here. She had a quick meal outside, and then she was busy buying some household items nearby. , ran back and forth a few times, and didn't have time to clean up, so the things I bought were thrown on the living room floor first.

Compared with yesterday's empty room, it looks much richer now. Standing in the living room, Lin Lu can see the plates and bowls and chopsticks with labels on the kitchen stove, and he also bought the pot. I also bought a rice cooker, kitchen knives and cutting boards.

Didn’t you have an experience? It is said that if the newcomers recruited by the company drink water from disposable paper cups, they will probably not work for a long time. On the contrary, those newcomers who bring nap pillows and small blankets can stay.

It seems that if Li Xing plans to live for a while, after all, if he only wants to stay for two or three months and leave, there is really no need to buy so many things.

This discovery made Lin Lu feel a little happy. After all, the connection between people is always so weak. Maybe after she changed companies, the two of them would never have the chance to meet again.

For example, the junior high school classmates, elementary school classmates, and even the current high school classmates who were close friends, in a certain afternoon, they still played together, played together, and went home together as usual, but in fact it was the last time you played together, but you No one knows, when they suddenly realized, maybe a few years later, or ten years later, the goodbye is also a stranger.

Now that Lin Lu came over to be a guest, the little girl felt a little embarrassed seeing the mess of the room, and speeded up the tidying up.

"Lin Lu, sit down first, if you're not very hungry, wait for me to clean up before making glutinous rice balls."

"I'm not hungry, I'm here to help you."

Lin Lu squatted down as he said that, and then found that he seemed to have no way to do it, so he had to help clean up some packing boxes and plastic bags that Li Xingruo had unpacked. The little fat cat beside him also came to join in the fun, playing with a rope.

Although it doesn't seem to be of much help, people who are alive are always more likable. Even if Lin Lu squatting beside her doesn't help anything, as long as he doesn't sit on the sofa and cross his legs, then he It's also part of the job.

"What is this package? It's so big! Do you want to open it?"

"Yes, these should be some clothes sent by my mother. I couldn't fit the luggage when I went back to school, so I asked her to send them later."

Feeling that he seemed to have mentioned a sensitive term again, Li Xingruo immediately stopped talking, and then secretly raised his eyes to see Lin Lu's reaction.

Lin Lu didn't react at all, and he could see what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Sister Xingruo, don't worry, my parents are divorced, but they are still alive and well, didn't you see my mother yesterday?" Yet."

"Hey, what did your mother tell you?"

"That's right, she said that the neighbor brought a girl with a sweet mouth, and asked me if I've seen her."

"Haha, no way, I happened to take out the trash last night, and saw an aunt come into your house, and then she looked like you, so I said hello, but I really didn't expect so much at the time, then...your dad How long has mom been divorced?"

"I left when I was in sixth grade."

"Oh……"

Li Xingruo nodded, considering her age, she was in her first year of high school at that time.

Looking at Lin Lu's current appearance, he still couldn't help but feel some pity from his sister. He felt that the younger brother in front of him had experienced so much at such a young age, and now he is still so good, it really wasn't easy.

"Then did you follow your mother?"

"Yes, my mother remarried later, and now I live in another place with my stepfather. I usually live by myself."

"..."

"what happened?"

"It's okay! It seems quite complicated..."

"It sounds complicated, but it's actually not that complicated. I got used to it after so many years."

Lin Lu looked calm, but the kind little girl asked worriedly: "Then can you do it by yourself? Now is the most critical time in the third year of high school. You have to study and you live alone. Go home. Are you still cooking for yourself?"

"My mother comes to cook occasionally. I usually eat more in the cafeteria. My mother is not worried. Sister Xingruo is very worried, isn't she?"

Li Xingruo was hesitant to speak, and he stopped talking, probably because he felt that the relationship between the two of them was not close to a certain level, and some things were hard to say, so he stretched out his tender little hand and patted Lin Lu like a big sister. shoulders:

"Anyway, if you need sister's help if you have any difficulties in the future, just tell me!"

"Really?"

"Of course! Sister means what she says!"

Lin Lu's heart warmed up. Such a kind girl is rare. The two are not related, but she can still take care of him like this.

"But I only talked about these things with Sister Xingruo, and none of my classmates knew about it."

"Why, why?"

Hearing what he said, Li Xingruo felt that he was very special.

"Because when I first saw Sister Xingruo, I felt very kind, and I don't know why."

Lin Lu looked serious.

Li Xingruo was picked up, it had nothing to do with love or other reasons, this kind of recognition, on the contrary, made people feel even more heart-warming.

"Ha! Maybe it's because I'm good-looking!"

Li Xingruo smiled, breaking the strange chat atmosphere.

"Don't be so narcissistic!"

After chatting like this, Lin Lu also felt that his relationship with her had gotten a lot closer.

The package was cut open with a key, and the clothes inside were compressed in a vacuum bag. Inside the package, there were two boxes of underwear sent by the old mother.

Lin Lu took a glance, and the two boxes of underwear were immediately snatched away by a small hand.

"Auntie sent you this?"

"This, it's not surprising. My mother sells underwear and socks. What are you doing watching so much? Watch out for the eyes of needles!"

The elder sister, who was gentle and caring just now, immediately changed her appearance, she looked a little shy, and hurriedly carried all the clothes in the package to her room with a blushing face, and then closed the door with a snap.

"Meow, meow, meow——"

The door closed, and the little fat cat inside started scratching the door.

"Hey, why did Xiaoman run inside?"

No wonder she asked where the little fat cat who was playing with the rope just now went. As soon as the door was opened, the little fat cat ran out of the door with a small white sock in its mouth, and threw itself into Lin Lu's arms.

"Meow."

As if asking for credit, Xiao Man put the little white socks in Lin Lu's hands.

Lin Lu: "..."

You are going to kill Dad!

Holding the small and cute socks in his hands, Lin Lu squeezed them subconsciously, and they felt soft.

Seeing Li Xingruo's gaze, Lin Lu immediately stopped, returned the socks to her, and angrily hit Little Fat Mao on the brain.

"Why are you messing around! Next time if you do this again, my sister won't let you come!"

"Meow..."

Li Xingruo: "..."

Is the appearance deceiving, the brother and the cat don't seem to be very honest? !
