Pretending to be cute

In the past three years, Xiao Ling thought about the scene of meeting that person many times.Maybe it's the airport where people come and go, maybe it's the gate of Hongjiang Construction Company, maybe... it's the home where she stayed for nearly seven years.

However, the various images that were repeatedly drawn in the dream, no matter how beautiful they are, are not as real and dreamy as they are at this moment.

At the door of the room deep in the corridor, a tall woman stood against the wall. Her long hair seemed to be longer, draped softly on her shoulders, forming a deep river.The light above the head is warm orange, not dazzling, reflecting the blurred outline of the woman.

It overlaps with the photos in the circle of friends, and there seems to be some difference, but Xiao Ling doesn't know the specific difference.

Even though she had put in all her efforts to meet her, she was still overjoyed to see Li Mi approaching, and let the small drum in her heart pound, thump, thump, beat wantonly in her chest.

Originally, the woman had her head down, but when she heard footsteps, she raised her head.Seeing Xiao Ling who was out of breath, she stood up straight, a little surprised.

"Huh, huh, auntie, why are you running so fast all of a sudden? I have so many things in my hands, how can I catch up with you? Huh, I'm exhausted!" Li Yusheng was out of breath, and his hands were still Holding a bag of blankets, seeing Xiao Ling's motionless back, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked bitterly at the woman who came over, "Oh, this..."

Li Yusheng took a breath, and quickly explained: "Sister, I really didn't let you know, I'm not a sophomore, really."

Li Mi hummed, with a calm expression on his face.

Li Yusheng couldn't tell if she was angry, and said again: "I promise, I didn't say anything, whether you gave me lemon candy, bought these things and sent them over, or worried about Lingling exchange..."

"Go back to your room and rest." Li Mi coughed heavily, interrupting Li Yusheng's words abruptly, "Good night."

Li Yusheng: "..."

He felt that he seemed to have said something that shouldn't have been said, which made it rare for his cousin not to care about what he called Xiao Ling, but kindly said good night to him.

If that counts as kindness.

"Well, cousin, just now for chasing the spirit...Xiao Ling, a lot of things were left downstairs, should I bring them up?"

"I'll get it later, you go back and rest." Li Mi said.

"Okay, good night then." Li Yu pouted, dropped the heavy bag in his hand, and ran back to the room in a hurry. Before closing the door, he remembered something, and whispered to Xiao Ling, "See you tomorrow."

Because he wanted to leave enough time for the sisters to spend alone, he slammed the door behind him without waiting for Xiao Ling's answer.

The hallway fell silent.

Xiao Ling noticed that Li Mi was looking at her, and his heart skipped a beat.She wanted to take a closer look at the person engraved in her heart, and remembered the role she needed to play now—a very bad sister who insisted on going abroad to study and hadn't come back for three years.

Such a character shouldn't have such fiery eyes.

Xiao Ling lowered his head, fixedly staring at the carpet, restraining the urge to get closer.

Li Mi looked at Xiao Ling for a long time, seeing that she didn't dare to look up at him, feeling a little disappointed.But thinking of Xiao Ling's obedient appearance after making mistakes in the past, he felt relieved.

"Why didn't you tell me when you returned home?" Li Mi was the first to break the silence with a gentle tone.

Xiao Ling grasped the hem of his clothes tightly, the answer he had thought up for a long time turned into a blank, so he could only make up a reasonable reason: "You are busy with work, I..."

"You are more important." Li Mi said seriously, taking a step closer.

Hearing such words, Xiao Ling felt sour and sweet in his heart, but shook his head and took a step back: "I know, but I don't want to delay your work. You have worked very hard. It doesn't matter about such small things. Besides, I, I just Come back for a while…”

This short period of time made Li Mi's good mood disappear immediately.She stared at Xiao Ling again for a while, and then took a step closer: "Come back for a short time? Then you won't come back after graduation?"

Without waiting for Xiao Ling to answer, Li Mi said again: "If you have any polite words or excuses, you can say it again and let me hear it."

Xiao Ling choked.

Outside, in interviews, Li Mi's attitude is common.As the manager of Hongjiang and the eldest daughter of the Li family, only by showing her sharpness can she deter all restless outsiders.

But in front of familiar and close people, Li Mi never behaved like this.

What went wrong?

Xiao Ling was a little flustered, and denied it: "No, I didn't..." He was restless, but suddenly heard an inaudible sigh, and was hugged gently.

This embrace is as warm as in memory, with the familiar lemon aroma.

"The child will be rebellious when he grows up, and he always wants to run outside instead of going home. I didn't believe this statement at first. You are so good, and you have never been like this before." Li Mi murmured in a low voice. After listening carefully, he could hear Feeling sad and wronged, "But now you have been away from home for three years, and you refuse to come back to see me once in three years, I believe it again."

The whispers in her ears made Xiao Ling's heart tingle, and she suddenly wanted to laugh.

Laughing at myself for being startled and confused when meeting Li Mi, and also laughing at this person, who has not seen him for three years, but is still a goose.

And yet, it's cute as hell.

Seeing that the rebellious child didn't speak, Li Mi thought to himself that Xiao Ling must feel guilty, and his heart softened: "I shouldn't have hurt you just now, I'm sorry. Now, let's communicate slowly, shall we?"

"What do you think, you tell me, I will listen carefully, but don't be polite to me, and don't be hypocritical with me. Ah Ling, I am not someone else."

The woman's tone of discussion made Xiao Ling a little shaken.Even though he knew that the other party was the same as in the past, he only treated himself as a child and treated her in the way of educating children, Xiao Ling still couldn't help but soften his heart.

"it is good."

As long as it's what you said, it's fine, Xiao Ling silently swallowed the last sentence.

The corridor is really not a suitable place for conversation, and the communication between the two failed in the end.It was very late, Li Mi picked up the bag that Li Yusheng had left on the floor earlier, went to the first floor to drag the remaining things, and went straight to room 1108.

Xiao Ling felt distressed and wanted to help Li Mi share a few bags. Li Mi thought about it and handed Xiao Ling a bag.

Xiao Ling didn't have time to be surprised, took a look at the light weight bag, and laughed angrily: "Mr. Li, did you know that this bag contains only a towel and a toothbrush?"

Boss Li didn't feel guilty about being exposed at all, he made a gesture of flicking his forehead, and said angrily, "Boss Li, you call me sister."

Hearing these words, Xiao Ling was a little dazed.

Speaking of which, she hasn't been called this name for a long time.From the third day?Still freshman?She never called Sister Li Mi again.That kind of secret thought, once fermented, can never be taken back, even the name has a little thought.

Now that I think about it, it's pretty childish.

If you don't call me sister, is it not your sister?Oh, how can it be so simple...

Xiao Ling laughed at himself, and said after laughing: "Then you give me all the bags, and I will call."

Li Mi weighed the importance of these two things, then shook his head: "That won't work."

Xiao Ling laughed again.

There are only a few steps away from the lobby on the first floor to room 1108. At the door of the room, Xiao Ling took out the key card and put it in the sensing area, while glancing at the door number of room 1109 next to him, he asked, "My colleague next to you, did you transfer him? "

Li Mi didn't change his face: "What? I don't know."

Xiao Ling nodded, and pushed open the door: "It's a pity, I still think the female colleagues next door are quite interesting, and I want to play with them."

"Huh? Aren't Cheng Ji and Fu Hua male?" Li Mi immediately questioned.As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized what she had said and fell silent.

Xiao Ling suppressed a smile, helped Li Mi bring in all the things, closed the door, and looked at the uncomfortable person: "Show your hands."

Li Mi looked at her suspiciously, and obediently spread his hands.

For a moment, Xiao Ling wanted to put his hand into Li Mi's white palm like he did when he was a child, and hold Li Mi's little hand, and walk through the lingering time together.

But as soon as he moved his finger, before he stretched it out, Xiao Ling saw Li Mi's eyes.It was pampering and warm...the look in the junior's eyes.

Xiao Ling retracted his hands behind his back.

"Huh? What's the matter?" Li Mi was a little worried when he saw that Xiao Ling hadn't moved.

"No."

Xiao Ling smiled and shook his head, took out the candy box in his pocket, poured three lemon candies into Li Mi's palm, the round candy touched the flesh, scratching Li Mi a little itchy.

"Why give me this?" Li Mi asked.

Xiao Ling thought for a while and replied: "We agreed before that those who lie will be punished. You said earlier that you didn't know about the room change, but you clearly knew, so I will punish you for being bitter."

Li Mi let out a cry, and obediently ate the candy she bought herself, her cheeks puffed up slightly: "But, after the sourness, it will be sweet."

"That's a reward for finding me."

Hearing this, Li Mi frowned, revealing a shallow dimple, looking extraordinarily gentle.Li Mi doesn't like to laugh, and his expression is usually flat, so every time he smiles, Xiao Ling's whole heart will melt into water.

She likes when she laughs.

"Did Yu Sheng take the initiative to tell you about my return, or did you force him?" Xiao Ling pulled Li Mi to sit down on the chair.

Li Mi coughed lightly and hesitated, "What I'm asking is not persecution."

To add credibility, she crossed her arms and emphasized: "I will not force people unless necessary."

Xiao Ling laughed, and didn't make any comments on it, went to the water dispenser to get a cup of warm water, and handed it to Li Mi: "Did you cook the food in the cafeteria for me?"

"Yeah." Li Mi took the water, took a sip, and said softly: "The taste should not be bad, but I don't know if your taste has changed."

Xiao Ling's eyelashes trembled slightly, in order not to let Li Mi see, he lowered his head: "It's delicious, I like it very much."

Compared with the situation where salt and MSG were often mixed up three years ago, the four dishes eaten in the cafeteria today are extremely delicious.

I don't know how many times I have practiced.

Xiao Ling suppressed the turbulent emotions in his eyes, and tried not to look at the woman's gentle face, lest his desire to hug and kiss her ferment to the point of being out of control.

Li Mi was unaware of Xiao Ling's thoughts, and was simply happy when he heard the compliment, his eyes were a little bright.She went to the bed, opened one of the bags she had brought earlier, took out the electric blanket, and placed it in the center of the bed.

"The reservoir is very humid here. If you don't pay attention, the moisture will seep into your bones. Remember to open this before going to bed every day to remove the moisture before going to sleep."

After babbling, Li Mi took out a brand new quilt, spread it out on top of it, and laid it carefully, even the corners were pressed neatly.The pillowcase was covered with a new pillow sheet, and several childish little hearts were printed on it.

Finally, there is a thin blanket that is soft at first glance.

Xiao Ling sat down on the chair next to her, and watched Li Mi silently as before, busying herself with work for her, doing what a big sister should look like.

She was both happy and worried.

Xi is Xi Li Yusheng is right, no matter how other people change, no matter how many years have passed, her sister Li will always take care of her, care about her, and cherish her, worry is worry, no matter how old she is, Li Mi will always be the only one who cares about her. Treat her like a child, like a sister.

She is a greedy person, so... not enough.

Xiao Ling closed his eyes, the previous wavering disappeared in an instant, and turned into firmness again.She pulled the corner of La Li Mi's clothes, trying to keep her lips from trembling: "After I finish my internship at Mingping Hydropower Station, I will quit this job and go back to school for graduate studies. The list of the school's postgraduate guarantees has come down, and I am here. "

"I want to read." She gritted her teeth and continued cruelly, "Sister Li."

Li Mi paused as he wrung the towel.

It was a title that I refused to call for a long time, but at this time, I called it.Is it a threat, or is it certain that she will compromise?

But even knowing this, Li Mi still couldn't get angry with Xiao Ling.She just felt that she probably did something wrong, which made Xiao Ling not want to go home.

Is it because the dishes are not tasty enough, or should it not hinder Xiao Ling from getting along with his colleagues?In a short while, Li Mi found many mistakes in himself.

Li Mi rubbed the towel again before asking cautiously, "Is it really not rebellious?"

Xiao Ling wanted to laugh, but felt very sad: "It's really not a rebellion. Although the domestic school is good, but since the current school can directly guarantee the graduate school, and the tutor I like takes me, why should I look far away? I I like this major, I... want to read it very much.”

As soon as the words fell, the room was eerily quiet, even the water dripping from the towel made a loud noise, which made Xiao Ling's heart ache.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard Li Mi say softly, "Okay, I understand."

After a pause, Li Mi stood up: "The company is in a hurry, I can't stay for too long, so I... let's go first."

With her back turned to Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling couldn't see her expression clearly.

With her fingernails stuck in her palms, Xiao Ling pursed her lips. She didn't ask if the company was in a hurry in the middle of the night, but just stood up: "Well, I'll see you off."

"No need, good night." Li Mi turned around and patted Xiao Ling's head, signaling that she didn't need to send him off, opened the door, and closed it gently, as silently as when he came.

As the night deepened, the wind poured into the room from the window, the temperature of one person was missing, and the room was inexplicably cold.Xiao Ling sat hugging the blanket for a long time, finally took out the candy box, and poured the remaining lemon candy into his mouth.

very sour.
