Chapter 93 The Secret of Ten Years
Ten years ago, Luo Li's family hadn't moved to Chenghuang City, and they lived very close to Luqiao.Although there were migrants in Luqiao at that time, it did not become what it is now.

It was gloomy all the time, and in the evening, the clouds finally couldn't bear the pressure of the water vapor, and began to sprinkle raindrops on the ground.

Although the rain was not heavy, it caused a lot of trouble for pedestrians on the road.Seeing that it was school time, my father hadn't come to pick her up yet.Luo Li waited anxiously.

"Luo Li, let's take the bus home together." Miao Miao opened a pink umbrella, and the light through the umbrella printed her face extremely pink.

"My dad said he would come to pick me up. I want to wait for him." Luo Li hesitated.

"Oh, we are already junior high school students, we are no longer children, we always try to go to and from school by ourselves." Miao Miao stepped forward to take her arm, looking at her with big eyes flickering like a porcelain doll.

Lori will never forget what she was like then.Her face, her expression, the milky white skin she once envied...

At this time, there was a thunder in the sky, and the huge lightning illuminated the bus station not far away.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was crowded with people waiting to get on the bus.

Luo Li looked at the gradually deserted school gate and the darkening sky, then nodded and followed Miao Miao to the station.

Due to the traffic congestion, the buses came very slowly that day. Every time a bus came, people rushed forward and crowded forward, until the door was full of people, and the bus door barely closed.

The short and emaciated two squeezed several times to no avail, and each time they were pushed aside without even seeing the bus door.

They were a little discouraged. If things went on like this, they would never be able to get on the bus.

"Luo Li, these people are really disgusting. Not to mention their strength, they still carry so many things. They pushed us out by bumping left and right." Miao Miao said angrily.

"Luo Li? An interesting name..." The man's voice behind them startled them.

Luo Li turned her head and saw a man in a white shirt standing behind them holding an umbrella. He didn't know how much they had heard.

Luo Li didn't want to pay attention to him, and pulled Miao Miao to the side.

The man didn't move, but said gently: "Isn't the little girl accompanied by an adult? It's not safe to go home alone. Next time, you must ask your parents to pick you up."

"How do you know that we don't have parents to accompany us?" Miao Miao was stopped by Luo Li before finishing her sentence.

"Isn't that clear? If you were accompanied by your parents, you would have already boarded the bus. Maybe you would have arrived home by now, put on clean clothes and had a good meal." Good impression.

The two little girls did not speak, and they were still wary of him, a stranger.

The man smiled and said indifferently: "For a while, stand in front of me, and I will help you squeeze into the car."

While saying these words, his face was always covered by the lowered umbrella.But his crisp white shirt and manicured nails endeared them to him a little.

They glanced at each other, still ignoring him.

Time passed bit by bit, the rain had already wet their trouser legs, and the sky was getting darker and darker.After another unsuccessful attempt to squeeze the bus, they finally accepted the man's help.

He smiled lowly: "Look, let me just tell you. If you had asked me for help earlier, you would have been sitting comfortably at home by now."

The man asked them to stand in front of him, and when the bus pulled into the station again, he stretched out his hands to protect them, and squeezed them through the door amidst the crowd.

Because of the crowd, Luo Li didn't pay attention to the man's hands on her body, and when she thought about it afterwards, she only vaguely remembered that those hands were slender, powerful and very warm.

There were too many people, and the three of them were squeezed together several times. At that time, Luo Li smelled the faint smell of lavender on the man's shirt.The smell mixed in the dirty air was very different.

Because of this, Miao Miao had a good impression of the man, so she started talking with him.Luo Li didn't pay attention to their conversation, her mind was attracted by the increasing rain outside.

Why didn't dad come to pick me up?What if he goes to school to find me?Will he blame me if he finds out that I took the bus home alone?Thinking so worriedly, she was suddenly pushed by Miao Miao.

"Huh?" Luo Li turned to look at them.

Speaking of which, the man was really nice. He stood behind them all the time after getting in the car, and used his body to help them block the crowded people behind them.

"Why are you pushing me?" Luo Li asked.

"Why are you in a daze? You're almost there." Miao Miao reminded.

"Oh, oh." Luo Li glanced at the stop sign, and then rushed towards the door in response.

"Her home is closer." Miao Miao said to the man behind her.

When did they become so familiar?Luo Li thought this way but didn't turn her head. She felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her, which made her very uncomfortable.

She tried her best to squeeze through the cracks towards the car door.Wherever she passed, people bent their bodies into various shapes to let her pass.

Because of her short stature, she kept slipping through the armpits of these people, which made the already dirty air smell even more unpleasant.

Just when she couldn't help covering her mouth and nose, the light lavender smell appeared around her again.The man in the white shirt seemed to want to get out of the car as he was protecting her.

"The name Luo Li is really interesting." He used her name as an introduction to chat with her again.

Luo Li didn't know how to answer, so she just hummed.As she grew older, she also came into contact with some ramblings and novels, and had a vague concept of the word 'Luo Li'.She doesn't like the name.

"Hey, step aside, do you want to get out of the car too?" A tall and bulky man behind him poked the man in the white shirt and said.

"Oh..., I won't get out of the car, you pass first." The man in the white shirt turned his body sideways to facilitate the passage of the big man.

With this big guy clearing the way, Luo Li easily followed him to the car door.

When she turned her head again, she could no longer see the man in the white shirt, and her sight was completely blocked by the big man.

"It's a pity, it's such an interesting name." The moment she turned around, she seemed to hear someone say that.Because her vision was blocked, she didn't see the speaker clearly.

The moment the car door opened, she was pushed and pushed out of the car by the people behind, and almost fell down during the process. Fortunately, the big man in front blocked her, and she barely stopped.

"Is the little girl alone? It's too dangerous without a parent to pick her up." The voice of the big man was muffled.

Lori could even hear his chest vibrate.

"No... my dad is waiting for me there." Luo Li was afraid of the big man, and she said wisely, pointing to the crowd sheltering from the rain at the door of the shop across the road.

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly ran to the opposite side, and when she couldn't help but turn her head again, the big man had disappeared.

The white figure on the bus was slowly approaching Miao Miao's direction and finally stood behind Miao Miao...The light blue bus left the station slowly, and Miao Miao waved to her through the glass of the bus.

Many years later, when she thinks of Miao Miao again, her memory will still be at that scene. She never thought that this would be the last meeting between them in this life...
