Lin Shen sees the deer again

On the evening of the 22nd, Yao's mother was cooking in the kitchen, and Yao Lu was lying on the bed, thinking about tomorrow's party, thinking about tomorrow's arrangements.

Lin Shen came to pick him up first, then went roller skating, and then had dinner, which was always after 5 o'clock in the evening. According to the time of the cram school, he had to be home before 5:[-] o'clock.

Is it too disappointing?

After thinking about it for a long time, Yao Lu had an idea in his heart.

He walked to the door of the kitchen and said, "Mom, I'll discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Yao's mother was sitting on a small stool, picking leeks.

Yao Lu said: "The day before yesterday, I forgot my math notebook at Fu Mingquan's house. I only remembered it this morning when I was doing my math homework."

"Why are you so careless?" Mother Yao scolded, "Then what are you going to do?"

"It's okay!" Yao Lu said, "I called his home on the way out of class today, and Fu Mingquan asked me to pick it up after class tomorrow."

"Oh." Yao's mother lowered her head, carefully picked the leeks in her hand, and said: "Come back when you get it, don't bother people all the time."

"I haven't finished yet." Yao Lu whispered.

"What else?" Mother Yao asked.

Yao Lu pursed his lips, and said, "Fu Mingquan told me that he celebrated his birthday tomorrow and invited several classmates to his house to play in the afternoon and have dinner to celebrate in the evening. Let me go too."

"Ah?" Mother Yao raised her head, looked at Yao Lu, and asked, "You don't want to go to make up lessons tomorrow?"

"No, no!" Yao Lu quickly shook his head and said, "I told Fu Mingquan that I have to make up lessons in the afternoon, and the class ends at 4 o'clock, so I can't go."

"Well, I can't go." Mother Yao lowered her head and continued picking leeks.

"Then, Fu Mingquan said," Yao Lu licked his lips, and continued, "I will have dinner at home at night. His mother made it. He asked me to stay for dinner while I was taking notes."

Mother Yao stopped, looked at Yao Lu, and asked, "How long do you want to eat?"

"Hmm..." Yao Lu pretended to be thinking, and said, "Fu Mingquan said, it's almost over at 7:8, and I'll definitely be home before [-]:[-]."

Yao's mother frowned and asked, "It's so late?"

Yao Lu explained in a low voice: "It's almost 6 o'clock when it's ready, and we still have cake..."

Mother Yao sorted out the picked leeks and remained silent.

Yao Lu stood nervously at the door, holding on to the door frame, not daring to make a sound.

"That's fine," Mother Yao confessed, "If you can come back early, come back as soon as possible, and be careful on the way."

Yao Lu secretly rejoiced, and said calmly: "Mom, don't worry!"

"Is the birthday present ready?" Mother Yao asked.

Yao Lu edited and said: "Tomorrow, I will pass a stationery store on the road, and I plan to choose a better pen."

Yao's mother nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine."

Yao Lu turned around to go back to the house, but Yao's mother shouted from behind: "Lu Lu!"

"Ah?" Yao Lu's heart skipped a beat, he turned to look at Yao's mother, and asked, "Mom, what else is there?"

Mother Yao asked, "Today is your birthday?"

Yao Lu: "..."

Mother Yao explained: "I...not sure, is it the 22nd or the 12th?".

"No. 22." Yao Lu said softly.

"Are you..." Yao's mother hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Seeing that Fu Mingquan celebrated his birthday, your father and I didn't give it to you, so I'm not happy?"

"No, Mom." Yao Lu quickly shook his head.

"My family, you know, your dad and I don't celebrate birthdays." Yao's mother explained, "We don't think it's necessary to celebrate birthdays. If you want a birthday cake, you can buy it. If you want a good meal, you can make it. There is no need to mess with it." These formal things."

"Your dad and I do this every year." Yao's mother continued: "It's my birthday, and I don't even know it. I only remember it after a few days. Your birthday is the same. If you don't remind me specially, you will miss it. What you said today It was Fu Mingquan's birthday, and I just remembered that today is your birthday."

"Mom told you so much because I was afraid that you would think too much." Yao's mother observed Yao Lu's expression and said softly: "Your father and I have no other intentions, this is our family's living habits, not the habit of celebrating birthdays , I don’t care about you, understand?”

"Yes, I see." Yao Lu nodded slightly.

Mother Yao shook the leek in her hand and said bluntly, "Then... happy birthday to you?"

"Thank you mom." Yao Lu whispered.

"That's nothing else." Yao's mother said, "You go back to the house and have a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Yao Lu nodded, went back to the room and lay down on the bed.

The next day, Yao Lu carefully chose a set of clothes. At 11:12, he lay down on the window of his room and looked down, intending to go downstairs as soon as he saw Lin Shen. However, he did not see Lin Shen until [-]:[-]. forest deep.

Yao Lu began to worry that things might change, and he had no way to contact Lin Shen, so he had to go downstairs with his schoolbag on his back as previously agreed.

As soon as he left the unit, he saw Lin Shen coming out of the front building with a schoolbag on his back, walking slowly towards him.

Yao Lu's heart fell to the ground, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

Lin Shen got closer and closer, so close that the two of them could already see each other's expressions. Lin Shen didn't speak, but looked at Yao Lu with a smile on his face. Yao Lu pursed his lips, looked at Lin Shen, and pushed Bike off.

Pushing the cart, Yao Lu passed a group of grandpas and aunts who were basking in the sun downstairs, and one of the aunts greeted Yao Lu loudly: "Lu Lu, are you going to class?"

"Yeah." Yao Lu nodded at her, pushed the bicycle, and quickened his pace.

Lin Shen followed behind, and the two walked out of the community one after the other.

After walking far enough, Yao Lu stopped and waited for Lin Shen. Lin Shen followed in a few steps. The two looked at each other, and laughed together after a few seconds.

"It feels like two secret agents are meeting." Lin Shen took the bicycle and said, "I'm so nervous! I'm doing okay, right? Didn't I show my secrets?"

"You are the secret agent." Yao Lu smiled.

"Underground party, is it alright?" Lin Shen corrected.

"Uncle and aunt didn't notice you, so it should be fine." Yao Lu said.

"I just saw it!" Lin Shen leaned closer, looked at Yao Lu's eyes, and asked, "Why are your eyes a little swollen?"

"Maybe...didn't sleep well at night." Yao Lu rubbed in a concealed manner.

Lin Shen joked, "Are you so excited to think of coming out to play with me today?"

"Well, it should be." Yao Lu nodded perfunctorily.

Lin Shen smiled and rubbed Yao Lu's head.

"You know, at the same table," Lin Shen said, "after you left on Tuesday, I thought about coming to your house to pick you up at night. After thinking about it, I realized, why are we so stupid? Why don't we just meet at 10 Gather at the road bus stop? You have to make it so frightening, like two spies meeting."

Yao Lu: "..."

"That day, you were the one who said to pick me up at 1 o'clock." Yao Lu said speechlessly, "I said no, it would be 12 o'clock, and then you said to come at 12 o'clock, and I said to be careful of the uncles and aunts downstairs. Anything else?"

"That's right!" Lin Shen said with a smile, "We just went to the dark side by side, so we didn't think of changing the way, you two idiots! It was too late for me to think about it at night, and I couldn't contact you, so I just According to the previous agreement, I will pick you up at 12 o'clock."

Yao Lu asked, "I was lying on the window at 11:[-], didn't I see you coming?"

"Uh..." Lin Shen said, "I'm afraid you'll leave early, and you'll be here at 11 o'clock."

"Ah?" Yao Lu asked in surprise, "It's so early! Where are you waiting?"

"The building in front of your house." Lin Shen said, "I'm afraid I will be suspected if I wait downstairs in your house. It's at the corner of the building in front of you. You can see the door of your unit there. I can see it when you come out. arrive."

"Oh..." Yao Lu nodded and said, "No wonder I didn't see you coming."

Lin Shen pulled the one-shoulder schoolbag to his chest, stepped on the bicycle with long legs, turned his head and said to Yao Lu: "Talking while riding, come on!"

Yao Lu sat in the back seat, and Lin Shen ordered again: "Help me! Hold me! Say it every time."

Yao Lu grabbed Lin Shen's clothes and said, "You only took me once."

"If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three." Lin Shen waited for Yao Lu to help him up, then pedaled his bicycle, and said, "Three produces all things, and there are endless things. You see, there are now two."

"What a mess." Yao Lu said speechlessly.

"What a mess!" Lin Shen shouted in front, "Is this what I said?"

Yao Lu: "???"

At this time, an old man happened to be riding past next to him. Hearing Lin Shen's words, he turned his head and gave him a hard look.

Lin Shen: "..."

"It's the old man from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Li Er—!" Lin Shen yelled frantically at the old man who had already ridden away.

Yao Lu lay on Lin Shen's back, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

After riding for a while, they came across a steep and long slope. With Yao Lu, Lin Shen turned into a snail in an instant and pushed forward with great effort.

Yao Lu jumped down and said, "This slope is too big, let me come down and walk."

"Don't bring such contemptuous people." Lin Shen said, "You come up and see how I take you up."

"I believe it." Yao Lu waved his hand and said, "I'm just too tired, the weather is so hot, and I'm sweating from riding. Why don't you come down and we'll push it up together."

Hearing this, Lin Shen got out of the car, pushed the bicycle, and walked up slowly side by side with Yao Lu.

"After roller skating today, go to eat." Lin Shen pushed the bicycle and said, "The hotel is booked for 5 o'clock, don't you have to be home before 5:5? I thought about it, and we will arrive at the hotel on time at [-] o'clock." , when you arrive, cut the cake, and after you finish eating the cake, I will take you home and hurry back to reunite with them."

"Don't be so troublesome." Yao Lu said.

"That won't work." Lin Shen immediately vetoed it, and said, "What's the matter if you don't eat the cake for your birthday? Just listen to me! I promise to take you home at 5:[-]."

"Don't be so troublesome," Yao Lu repeated again, with a smile on his face, "I just need to be home before 8 o'clock."

"Huh?" Lin Shen looked at Yao Lu incredulously, and asked, "Really?"

"Yeah." Yao Lu nodded and said excitedly, "I told my mother that the classmate's birthday treat will end at 7:8, and my mother will let me come back before [-]:[-]."

Lin Shen asked in surprise, "Did you tell your mother about me?"

"Hmm..." Yao Lu hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I say Fu Mingquan, it's his birthday."

"Huh?" Lin Shen said incredulously, "Did you lie?"

"Yeah." Yao Lu nodded in shame.

"Oh shit!" Lin Shen teased, "Do good students also lie to their parents?"

Yao Lu looked at Lin Shen with aggrieved expression.

"I'm joking!" Lin Shen hurriedly clarified.

Yao Lu said faintly, "I...actually lied twice."

Lin Shen: "???"

"The time I went to your house on Tuesday." Yao Lu said, "I was afraid that if I was not at home all day, my mother would tell me again if she knew it. I lied to her the night before, saying that I would go to my classmate's house to ask questions."

"Who are you talking about?" Lin Shen asked.

Yao Lu said guiltily, "Fu Mingquan..."

Lin Shen: "..."

"No, are you just going to suffer from Fu Mingquan?" Lin Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Do you know that if you often walk by the river, there is no reason not to get your shoes wet? Why don't you change someone? Are you old?" If you use one person to lie, how likely is it to be exposed?"

"Me, I've only been with Fu Mingquan a few times." Yao Lu explained in a low voice, "Others don't talk much, and when I talk about others, my mother is more suspicious."

Lin Shen looked at Yao Lu: When he said this, the expression on his face was indescribably sad.

His heart moved, he stretched out his arms to embrace Yao Lu, and comforted him: "Lu Lu, I will keep in touch with you more in the future!"

Yao Lu blushed, looked at Lin Shen, and said, "You, don't call me that."

"Lulu! What's the matter?" Lin Shen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your aunt downstairs can call you, why can't I?"

"This is my nickname." Yao Lu said embarrassingly, "My parents called me a lot. Those uncles and aunts heard my mother call me that and followed suit. We are classmates. You call me by my nickname. I'm not used to it."

"Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu! Lulu!" Lin Shen called out ten times, looked at Yao Lu triumphantly, and asked: " Are you used to it?"

Yao Lu: "..."

Yao Lu looked at the road ahead and said helplessly, "Whatever you want..."

"Lu Lu, let me call you in private from now on." Lin Shen squeezed his shoulder and said, "If someone else is around, I'll call you Yao Lu, okay?"

"En." Yao Lu numbly nodded.

"I just think that Lulu sounds very nice!" Lin Shen said with a smile, "Lulu, Lulu, it sounds very graphic, just like visiting a zoo when I was a child."

Hearing this, Yao Lu turned his head and looked at Lin Shen resentfully.

Lin Shen shook Yao Lu and laughed loudly: "Yes! It's the zoo! Ha——!"

At this time, the two had climbed to the top of the slope, and the road below became a long downhill.

Lin Shen stretched his legs and said domineeringly: "Lu Lu, come up! Take you flying!"

Sitting in the back seat, Yao Lu consciously grabbed Lin Shen's clothes.

Lin Shen stepped down hard with his right foot, and the bicycle swished out, and then it was getting faster and faster on the slope with the help of gravity. Yao Lu couldn't help but feel nervous, holding Lin Shen's clothes tightly with both hands.

The bicycle was speeding at high speed, and the summer wind hit Lin Shen hotly on the face.

At this moment, infinite joy surged in his heart, and he shouted: "Lulu! Don't pull! Your clothes are about to be torn by you! Put your arms around my waist!"

Hearing this, Yao Lu looked up at Lin Shen's back, hesitated for a moment, and finally wrapped his arms around his waist.

The author has something to say: Lin Shen: That's right, the two of us went to the dark side by side, and never thought of going the other way, you two idiots!

Liu Qi: Student Lin, don't set up the flag casually, look behind...
