Pretending to be cute

"What does Sister Li know?"

From the previous panic and bewilderment, it quickly transitioned to a calm stage, which took less than ten seconds.If it was anyone else, such as Ling Sheng and Fu Qiuyue, Xiao Ling believed that they must have understood her secret by saying so.

But if it was Li Mi, it would be impossible.

She even suspected that even if someone went to inform Li Mi, Li Mi would never think that this liking was based on love, and would nod and say that I also like Ah Ling.

Sure enough, Li Mi stared at her closely, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Ling, when did you and Yu Sheng get together?"

Xiao Ling: "..."

She was with Li Yusheng?

As expected of Sister Li, she didn't guess the classmates at the school, didn't guess the Hao Nanren who just met, but actually suspected her cousin.But the problem is, Li Yusheng already has a girlfriend, and they have been dating for two years. She knows all about this, but sister Li was kept in the dark?

To explain clearly, you can't sell your teammates yet, so things are getting a bit troublesome.

Seeing the girl he raised acquiesced in the love affair, Li Mi's heart was pierced, and he felt more and more that the days of the lonely and widowed Li were approaching, and his mouth became sour: "Ah Ling, you are still young, you may not understand."

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded.

Li Mi didn't say any more: "Come with me."

It was nearly ten o'clock in the evening, and the fireworks show had come to an end. The crowd gradually dispersed. Those who went home went home, and those who went up the mountain went up the mountain. The viewing platform was more than half empty.

Li Mi took Xiao Ling's hand and walked back to the viewing platform step by step.She is tall, her strides are bigger, and coupled with her usual pursuit of efficiency, her walking speed is always very fast.But every time she was by Xiao Ling's side, she seemed to recall her instinct, and followed Xiao Ling from left to right, unknowingly slowing down the pace of life.

However, time never stands still.One day, she will entrust the little girl to someone else, and watch them hold hands, kiss, get married and have children.

If this day is unavoidable, isn't a cousin who knows everything better than a complete stranger?

Li Mi's mood is very complicated.

"Ah Ling, sometimes love is like fireworks in the night sky. It is gorgeous and brilliant, and it is only temporary. After it blooms, there will be only the residue of the flame reaction, and it will never shine again."

"You're dating Yu Sheng, I actually... have no objections, really, I don't have any objections at all."

After explaining the truth, Li Mi was still a little bit stuck, and continued: "This boy Yu Sheng, although he is my cousin, objectively speaking, he has a pure personality. Not to mention hardworking, he is also considerate. Even if you play tricks occasionally and be a little childish, it doesn't hurt, it's a very good partner."

Li Mi had never said these words before.She rarely praises people, and even if she really wanted to, she would not be so straightforward.In Li Mi's heart, boys should be taught more strictly, and girls should be raised like princesses, so she treats Li Yusheng and Xiao Ling differently.

But these rare compliments fell in Xiao Ling's ears, no matter how he heard them, they didn't please his ears.

"Sister Li, do you know that every time you are nervous or lying, you will repeat the same words twice? How about Yu Sheng, let's not talk about it, you are really serious about me and Yu Sheng's falling in love. no comment?"

The young girl's eyes were as dark as ink, full of sharpness, she didn't have the usual obedient and clever appearance, but she looked like a hunter who walked every step of the way.Faced with this extremely rare questioning, Li Mi lost the composure he had when parrying Hao Nanren before, and subconsciously shook his head.

Seeing this action, Xiao Ling raised the corners of his lips slightly, secretly amused in his heart, but his face quickly returned to the appearance of a docile kitten: "That's good, I thought Sister Li felt that as long as she was her cousin, she would be fine with everything." I agree unconditionally."

"How come? Yu Sheng is my cousin, but if he does something bad, I won't take sides with him."

After answering, Li Mi regained his composure, feeling a little puzzled.The Ah Ling at that moment just now is completely different from the crying kid before.

Is it an illusion?

After observing carefully for a few seconds, Xiao Ling still looked at her softly, the circles of her eyes were still a little red from crying, the hearts of the people watching her almost melted, there was no problem at all.Li Mi let go of his doubts, he just thought it was his eyesight.

Thinking about it, the 19-year-old girl, even though she has gone through a bit of ups and downs, but I have protected her all the way to grow up, and she also asks acquaintances to take care of and help her abroad, so how can she have any complicated thoughts?

"Next, I want to talk about something else. Although Yu Sheng is a good person, he still can't bear the weight of a family. He is very playful, and he doesn't have enough ability and responsibility. Just look at him today and let you go to other places to have fun. , refused to accompany you to spend Qixi Festival, that is enough to explain the problem."

In the middle of busy work in the afternoon, Li Yusheng called Li Mi and said that he wanted to go to Yunnan for a visit.Thinking that Li Yusheng was serious about his work during this time, Li Mi agreed, but he didn't expect that he would rather go on a trip than accompany his girlfriend.

Too outrageous.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Li Mi came to a serious conclusion: "So, you are too young and haven't thought through many things clearly. Instead of letting love turn into fireworks residue, it's better..."

"Break up?" Xiao Ling suppressed a smile and continued the second half of the sentence.

Do not break up and keep it for next year's Chinese Valentine's Day?

This sentence spun around Li Mi's mouth several times, but she swallowed it back: "Well, I'm not that extreme, and I'm not the kind of elder who can beat mandarin ducks, so I don't mean to let you break up directly."

Seeing Xiao Ling nodding and falling into deep thought, Li Mi coughed and acted like an elder: "I want to say that there are many choices in life, and breaking up is of course one of them. It is a wise decision to stop losses in time."

"Oh..." Going around, they still want to break up, this person's cuteness index is simply beyond the standard, Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing.

"Sister Li, I'm not dating Yu Sheng."

After laughing, Xiao Ling thought for a while, Li Mi is too serious, if she really thinks that she and Li Yusheng are together, there may not only be a difference in age and experience between them, but also a layer of sister-in-law. taboo relationship.

At that time, I will not be able to wash myself off by jumping into the Yellow River.

So, she had to clear up this misunderstanding: "From the beginning to the end, I have regarded Yusheng as my family and my friend. We have never been in love, nor have we ever had a spark of love. You don't have to think too much."

"really?"

Li Mi was skeptical, and then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "I know! If so, then you are crying today, could it be because of Hao Nanren?"

Xiao Ling: "..."

Powerless.

After watching the rest of the fireworks, Li Mi fed Xiao Ling a lot of food.Being idle is also idle, the two of them simply walked up the mountain with some of the crowd, and digested food by the way.

Located in the mountains, when the evening wind blows, it is cool, and the ears are full of cicadas and unknown insects.The city is basically full of high-rise buildings. The higher the floor, the sound will naturally be inaudible, so although it is noisy here, it is not interesting.

"Sister Li, when will we go to the old place again to escape the summer heat, you used to be able to catch such a big cicada, and its cry is very loud, compared to the one next to it." Xiao Ling gestured at the size of the cicada, his eyes sparkled, "If you cover my ears, I can hear you."

Li Mi turned her face sideways, and the dim light slanted down from her side, even the down on her face had a hint of warmth: "Aren't you scared? Dare to go?"

Xiao Ling blushed, and whispered: "That was the first time I saw a cicada, and you suddenly caught it, so I called. Next time, next time, I will definitely not be like that. Don't treat me as a cicada. child."

Li Mi smiled: "Alright, let's go next year, baby."

The big baby's face turned even redder.

Accompanied by the sound of cicadas, the two followed the crowd and unknowingly walked up to a section of steps.The mountains are either roads or paths, or paths paved with gravel, and they haven't walked the steps before.

This section of steps is very long, can't see the end at a glance, and is also very wide. It basically occupies three-quarters of the mountain road, and many people walk up it at the same time without being crowded.

There was a strong smell of incense in the air, Xiao Ling stepped on tiptoe, a little discouraged: "This should be the very spiritual temple that Hao Nanren said, but why can't you see the door? The steps are too long, right?"

An old man who was about to go up the steps heard her words, put down the crutch in his hand, and looked over kindly: "Is it the first time for the little girl to come to the Temple of Sincerity?"

"Temple of Sincerity?" The name of this temple is really strange, it can be compared with a name like Hao Nanren, Xiao Ling thought to himself.

The old man chuckled, as if he knew what she was thinking: "Don't think the name is weird, in fact, it has its own reason for its choice. We often say that gods and Buddhas are merciful, but when a person encounters difficulties, the gods Buddha will not help, the only thing we can rely on is ourselves.”

She pointed to the steps and continued: "This step is called the Sincerity Step. Every step means a kind of suffering. The reason why it is so long is also very simple. It is to test whether a person has enough patience and perseverance to overcome these difficulties. Suffering, realize what you want in your heart.”

Another old grandfather approached and helped the old man with a cane: "Oh old woman, why are you talking to others again, did you receive incense money from Chengxin Temple or something, and you want to help introduce business?"

"Hmph, I don't even have this little freedom? Besides, if I hadn't climbed the level of sincerity back then, and your daughter suffered such a loss in business, would she still meet noble people to lend a helping hand?"

"Superstition, it's our young girl's luck, and meeting a kind person, what's the matter with you?"

The old man spoke fiercely, but his movements were very gentle. The two old people took one step at a time, slowly but steadily, and gradually walked away.

Xiao Ling looked at their backs leaning on each other, a little envious.She also wants to grow old like this with the one she loves, but at present, this is just her unilateral wish.

If you never forget, there must be echoes, she has heard similar truths before, but if every obsession can have echoes, how can there be so many things in this world that you can't ask for?

"Even if you can't get what you ask for, it's good to just ask and not regret it. Besides, sometimes asking may be rewarding. For example, if I complete the sincerity level, I may be able to get an answer to a question." Li Mi said.

Xiao Ling covered her mouth, as if she accidentally said what was on her mind.Fortunately, she didn't say anything more serious... She quickly calmed down and said casually, "What's the problem?"

Li Mi seriously asked the difficult question that he had thought about all the way: "It's not Yu Sheng, and it has nothing to do with Hao Nanren, that's fine, why are you crying? Who bullied you? You don't want to tell me because you are afraid I will trouble him? "

There were only three people present, one involved and one excluded, why not think about the remaining person?

It's so silly and cute.

"If Sister Li wants to know, I'll tell you when you catch up with me." Thinking of a new idea, Xiao Ling jumped up the first step, with a cunning flash in his eyes.

The author has something to say: Li Mi: I make trouble for me
