Pretending to be cute

Walking to the side of the car, Xiao Ling glanced at Li Mi, and sat in the passenger seat consciously.Li Mi didn't say anything, but the faint smile in her eyes revealed her true thoughts.

Driving away from the Mingping Hydropower Station where she had been staying for a long time, although Xiao Ling did not verbally express any reluctance, Li Mi still felt this unspeakable feeling. She, who has always been driving without speaking, slowed down and said, "Ah Ling, open the storage drawer in front of you."

Xiao Ling was puzzled, but he did as he was told. He opened the storage drawer in front of him and found several boxes of lemon candies inside, and another piece wrapped in cartoon paper. Fang Fangzheng couldn't see the contents clearly.

Others didn't know what it was, but Xiao Ling recognized it at a glance, and her face was full of surprise: "A small cake from the animation workshop?!"

Li Mi hummed, and looked ahead: "It's quite a distance from home, and there may be traffic jams on the highway, so it should be late for dinner. You like the matcha flavor, so you can fill your stomach first when you are hungry, and there is mineral water on the right."

"it is good."

Xiao Ling did not tear off the outermost cartoon paper, but took it off and put it aside, opened the small plastic cover outside the cake, and muttered in a low voice: "I haven't eaten in the animation workshop for a long time, and I don't know if the taste has changed. Although I like sweet, but if the matcha is too sweet, I will get tired of it. In the past, only this store was delicious, and there was a long queue..."

"The taste hasn't changed." Li Mi said.

The tone was so sure, Xiao Ling was surprised and said: "Why did Sister Li say that? You don't like sweets, even if the taste changes, you can't... eh? Wait a minute."

She was playing with the small transparent fork that was given as a gift, and she was suddenly blessed: "Sister Li... In the past three years, you haven't been eating cakes from the animation studio, have you?"

Li Mi was silent for a moment, then said, "No."

As if sensing Xiao Ling's disbelief, she coughed softly, unnaturally looked away, and stared at the end of the road in the distance: "I mean, not all the time, just occasionally. I don't like sweets, so I eat them for a long time once."

Originally, even if Li Mi didn't say that, Xiao Ling also understood that for people who don't like sweets, the possibility of going to buy sweets every day is too small, not to mention that Li Mi is very busy, so there is no time to queue up.

But Li Mi was both denying and emphasizing, even telling a lie was very clumsy, which instead made her suspect that her guess had become a reality.

This man is really...

Xiao Ling sighed softly, instead of teasing someone who pretended to be calm, he cut off a small piece of cake with a knife, then used a fork to pierce a strawberry on top, and put them into his mouth together.

The mellow sweetness of matcha mousse and the sour-sweet taste of strawberries, mixed together, not only make the whole heart soak in the green sweetness, but also a little unfinished, very suitable for the name of this cake - first love .

The taste is not much different from three years ago, not only the cake, but also the people.

It was already a few hours after arriving in City C.It was quite dark, but due to the long daylight hours in summer, the street lights hadn't been turned on yet.

Xiao Ling threw another lemon candy into his mouth, looked left and right, and asked, "Sister Li, if I remember correctly, we seem to have passed by, should we go through the fork just now?"

Remember the way home.

Li Mi nodded, the dimples on his cheeks were faintly visible: "There is a supermarket ahead, let's go buy some food and see if you still need to buy something."

Xiao Ling was stunned.To go home, of course, it is impossible to wander around and leave, and then at least stay for a few months.After finishing her graduate studies at the school, even if Li Mi doesn't ask for anything, she will not wrong herself outside, and will definitely go home and live there.

Being close to the water and being able to get the moon first, this is her biggest advantage, how can she not make good use of it.

The two went to a large supermarket.The location where this supermarket is located was a wholesale market three years ago, and a company bought the right to use it the following year, and then invested to build the current supermarket.Because the location is in the city center, there are many types of goods and the prices are affordable, and it will soon become an area with the largest flow of people.

Go down from the first floor to the first floor, and turn the stairs to the entrance.

Considering that there won't be too few things to buy later, Xiao Ling pulled a cart over.Li Mi waited in place, and when Xiao Ling came over, she took the cart very naturally, pushed the cart forward with one hand, and held Xiao Ling's hand with the other hand.

It's not a deliberate closeness, but a habit developed over a long period of life.Even if there were three years of barrenness in the middle, as soon as a similar scene and time came, the muscles seemed to have memory, and they went on their own track.

For Li Mi and Xiao Ling, time seems to have stopped in the past seven years, one older and one younger, holding hands, shopping together, and going home together, no difference from the past.

Only now, maybe there is still a difference.Xiao Ling held Li Mi's right hand instead, put his right hand on the cart calmly, shouldered the insignificant weight of the cart with Li Mi, and walked side by side.

It's not that Li Mi didn't notice it, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure out the reason. In the end, it could only be attributed to the fact that the little girl is more sensible and considerate of himself as an older sister.

The first section of the supermarket is the living area. Xiao Ling made a list in his mind when Li Mi said he was coming to the supermarket, and immediately went to get toothbrushes, towels, bath towels, etc. without any hesitation.

Li Mi silently watched Xiao Ling busy, and didn't intend to help, just pushing the cart behind Xiao Ling like a little tail.

Facts have proved that planned purchases are very efficient, and the bottom of the shopping cart was quickly covered. Xiao Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled.

"Sister Li, what do you think I haven't bought?" Just in case, Xiao Ling asked for Li Mi's opinion.

Li Mi shook his head: "It's all done."

Xiao Ling flipped through the things in the car, and said uncertainly: "Really? I can only think of buying these at the moment, but I always feel that I have missed a lot. At that time, there is really something missing, and it will be troublesome to come here temporarily, so I still buy it in advance." It's better to finish."

"It's not bad, it's about the same as what I bought."

"It's almost fine, I thought..." Xiao Ling was relieved, and just about to continue pushing the cart to the next area, a white light flashed in his mind, and he stopped in his tracks.

"You bought it? What do you mean? You bought these daily necessities for me at home?" She turned her face to look at the people beside her.

Li Mi said honestly: "Yes."

Xiao Ling: "..."

Xiao Ling: "You bought them all, I choose these, why don't you stop me?"

The shopping madman tilted his head and put forward a standard answer: "Buy what you want, don't be afraid of waste."

She knew it.

Xiao Ling didn't want to argue with Li Mi any more, and asked the next question: "When did you buy it?"

Li Mi murmured vaguely, and answered the irrelevant question: "The dentist said that the head of the toothbrush should be replaced every three months."

However, Xiao Ling understood the implied meaning of this sentence at once.

Toothbrush heads have to be replaced every three months, so every three months, Li Mi will re-purchase her daily necessities.According to Li Mi's meticulous nature in work, it is not only the toothbrush that must be repurchased...

No wonder Li Mi was so familiar with the movements of parking in the basement and walking over. At that time, she still felt strange that Li Mi obviously didn't like shopping and shopping in the past.

Savoring this unique gentleness of Li Mi, Xiao Ling said softly: "Silly sister, the reason why the dentist said that is because after using the toothbrush for a period of time, the bristles of the toothbrush are easy to bend and wear, and the cleaning ability will become weaker. It is only then that we put forward the idea of ​​replacing the brush head in three months based on the usage of most people. I haven’t used it yet, and you bought a new one, which is unnecessary.”

"What do you call me? It's not big or small." Li Mi's words of accountability are not so much scolding, but tolerance with a hint of pampering.

"Silly sister." Xiao Ling called out again.

Li Mi had no choice but to flick Xiao Ling's forehead with his finger: "Everything that has been stored for a long time, there will always be dust. Children like to clean so much, how will they use it then? Tell me, who is stupid?"

"It's because you're stupid." Xiao Ling wanted to cry, and said while holding back his sobs.

Although Li Mi didn't say it clearly from the beginning to the end, Xiao Ling can completely imagine that every three months the woman will come here alone to buy daily necessities, and stubbornly wait for the person who can't go home, rain or shine.

In the interview, Qing Jue's face looked so unattainable, but he was so gentle when he did stupid things, Xiao Ling couldn't control his heartbeat at all, and was so moved that he lost his rhythm.

Even though this love will make people fall into the abyss, she can clearly feel that the feelings in her heart have never been reduced, but are endlessly superimposed in every detail.

Before returning to China, Mary, a good friend who learned about Xiao Ling's thoughts, asked her, even if it was the worst ending, would she still fight for it?

Xiao Ling answered like this.

"Moths to the flame, nothing more."
