Pretending to be cute

The bedroom was quiet and lonely.

Listening to his own too noisy heartbeat, Xiao Ling curled up under the quilt and turned over again.She couldn't count how many times she turned over this night, maybe it was less than the number of sheep she counted, or maybe it was more?

she does not know.

She fell asleep.

As soon as I close my eyes, those words that hurt her will come to my mind, every sheep that jumps over the fence becomes a spirit, repeating what Li Mi said while jumping, what they bring is no longer sleepiness, but Painful.

Not daring to close his eyes, and unable to sleep with his eyes open, Xiao Ling sat up.The time displayed by the bedside electronic clock is twelve o'clock in the morning, which means that this day has turned over and a new day has arrived.

Xiao Ling thought, she should also learn to turn the page, and it is best to forget all the previous troubles every day, so that with her feelings for Li Mi, she can endure the whole life with such a compromise attitude, and also have unrequited love for the rest of her life.

There's nothing wrong with this, anyway, she doesn't care what others say... Probably, doesn't she care?Even if someone criticizes Fu Qiuyue's niece for wishful thinking and scolds her for having no dignity, she probably doesn't care.

Xiao Ling smiled, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.She doesn't like playing games, and she can't read books when she is upset. She can't think of any reasonable way to pass the time.Wandering around the corridor, she noticed with sharp eyes that there was a circle of hair beside the wall.

The maroon one is hers.

Xiao Ling picked up the hair and threw it into the trash can, suddenly seemed to think of something, patted his head, and said to himself: "Sister Li is a clean freak, if there are my hair in other corners, she must not wait for it." My aunt came to clean up, so I did it myself. I have to do housework after work all day, so I am so tired, I just happen to be free, so I will come."

Just do what she said, she first took the broom and swept around other places except Li Mi's room, then washed the mop, and wiped it around with a clean mop.Because she was afraid of disturbing Li Mi's sleep, she kept her movements very light.

The floor is clean, but the furniture is not there yet.

Xiao Ling always has a beginning and an end in his work, so he took a bucket to catch the water and went to the entrance to wipe the shoe cabinet.There were several pairs of red and blue slippers in the shoe cabinet, Xiao Ling put them neatly, then closed the cabinet, and wiped the pillars next to it.

Fortunately, the height line is drawn with a carbon pen and will not be erased.

Xiao Ling rubbed it, compared the height difference between himself and Li Mi, and muttered in a low voice: "Obviously I drank the milk on time and according to the amount, why can't I grow so tall? This makes me look smaller, and I don't have any It gives people a sense of security.”

Xiaoxin, marked on the height line, comforted her silently.

Xiao Ling cheered up a bit, and continued to wipe from the door.There are a lot of things to wipe, like the small Song Dynasty porcelain vase that Li Mi bought at a charity auction, although Li Mi liked it so much, but Xiao Ling asked, and she threw the porcelain vase to Xiao Ling as a pen holder.If Ling Sheng hadn't mentioned it once as a guest, Xiao Ling wouldn't have known how precious this small porcelain vase was, and would still put it on the table as a pen holder.

It's like a bunch of small pink stones stored in a round box.This was picked up on the beach by Li Mi on a business trip a few years ago.

Xiao Ling asked her what she was doing with these things, but Li Mi was a little shy and refused to say.After being entangled by Xiao Ling, she couldn't help it, so she reluctantly said that the staff in the same company would bring souvenirs to friends or family members, and she didn't know what to buy, so she just brought back the most distinctive stones.

Stunned.

Touching the smooth stone, Xiao Ling's gaze became softer.

Finally to the living room with the certificate of merit hanging on the wall.

Since the certificate of merit is made of paper and cannot be stained with water, Xiao Ling no longer wiped it with a towel, but took out a few pieces of paper to wipe off the dust on the surface.After eight years, the award certificate has turned slightly yellow, the typeface has not changed much, and the color of the handwritten words has become a little lighter.

Xiao Ling trotted to the room, took a pen of the same color, tiptoed against the wall, deepened the two names and time little by little, and then proudly read: "Li Mi, Xiao Ling, in the year of xx-xx It was awarded No.1 in the handicraft competition in the first semester of the year, and this certificate is hereby issued as an encouragement."

The girl's voice was very low, and the tone of the reading was exactly the same as what she said when she threw herself into Li Mi's arms back then, but it was not as childish as it was back then, and it was not like when she smiled with bright stars in her eyes.

But I don't know when, the sky is full of stars, and they have fallen.

Xiao Ling squatted down and wiped the rest of the furniture and various tableware little by little, even the corners and crevices of the dust stuck in the crevices, and wiped them all carefully.

After doing this, the hour hand of the living room clock points to three o'clock in the morning.

After tossing and tossing for a full two hours, Xiao Ling looked tired, but he didn't feel sleepy yet, instead he became more energetic because of cleaning.She looked at the certificate, straightened her back, and stared blankly for a long time.

Xiao Ling didn't come back to his senses until his eyes were staring sorely.She clenched her hands into fists, as if she had made up her mind, she took out her mobile phone and sent someone a message.

After posting, Xiao Ling sighed softly and walked to the door of Li Mi's room.The two had always been unguarded against each other, so Li Mi didn't lock the door, Xiao Ling turned the handle, and the door opened.

There was light from the living room at the door. Although it was dark, it was not completely invisible.Xiao Ling stopped right in front of Li Mi's bed, because he was afraid that the bed would be sunken and wake Li Mi up, so he didn't sit on the edge of the bed, but half-kneeled on the floor outside the head of the bed on the side Li Mi was close to.

Autumn in City C is colder than other southern cities. Although it is still early autumn, it already has the taste of early winter.The floor was extremely cold, and the knees pressed on the ground were permeated by the coolness, but Xiao Ling didn't seem to feel it, and just stared greedily at his nominal lover.

The woman on the bed was sleeping soundly, her red lips were slightly parted, and she breathed evenly, her eyelashes trembling slightly with her breathing.Li Mi's sleeping posture is very regular, with her hands crossed on her lower abdomen, which is in line with her traditional and old-fashioned side.

Xiao Ling moved her nose, sniffing the fresh lemon fragrance, reached out and tapped Li Mi's forehead.As if being chilled by the coolness of her fingertips, Li Mi in his sleep frowned, shrank inward, and snorted indistinctly.

Xiao Ling smiled.

She withdrew her hand, put it in her sleeve to keep warm, and when her hand was not so cold, she put it on Li Mi's forehead.

This time Li Mi didn't respond.

Xiao Ling relaxed, and slid her fingertips from her forehead to her eyebrows.Li Mi's eyebrows are one-line eyebrows, neither thick nor light, with a heroic air. When she is not speaking, as long as she raises her eyebrows, she will have an aura of calm and prestige.

Xiao Ling has seen a photo of Li Mi's father, Li Yuanzi, Li Mi's eyebrows are very similar to Li Yuanzi's, but Li Mi's eyes are not inherited from Li's father, but more like his mother Ren Xuefei, clear and gentle, as if hiding a mouthful spa.

Every time Xiao Ling made a mistake, Li Mi would not rush to scold her, let alone turn on the preaching mode, but instead stroked the top of her hair, his eyes were gentle enough to make her want to cry.In this way, even if Li Mi doesn't say anything, Xiao Ling will start to reflect.

Therefore, two people seldom have conflicts.

Xiao Ling leaned over and kissed Li Mi's eyes affectionately.

In fact, she knew that all of this was never Li Mi's fault. Li Mi loved her for nearly ten years. He obviously only regarded her as his younger sister and had no other feelings for her. The request was also granted to her.

Greed is the original sin.

She is greedy.

Xiao Ling smiled self-deprecatingly, turned her fingers over the tip of her tall nose, and finally landed on her ruddy lips.She paused, but finally couldn't bear the silent temptation, she put her hands on the bedside table, wanting to taste the deadly sweetness.

But when they were about to touch each other, she remembered that Li Mi looked away with some resistance, and then said "I'm not used to your kisses", and the tongue kiss request that was absolutely impossible to be granted.

Slightly shifting her body, the kiss landed on the corner of Li Mi's mouth.

"Forget it." Xiao Ling repeated this sentence in a low voice, but last time she said it to Li Mi, this time she said it to herself.

Xiao Ling tucked up the quilt for Li Mi, turned around and left the room, and closed the door carefully.After touching the red string on her wrist, her expression gradually became serious, and she lifted her foot to walk to her room, while picking up the vibrating mobile phone in her pocket.

"Hey?"

The time difference abroad happened to be in the afternoon. After Songsong received the news, he made a direct call.Because Xiao Ling didn't answer the call before, Songsong was very worried, and his tone was a little anxious: "Hey, Lingling, are you okay?"

Xiao Ling hummed: "It's okay, I had something to do just now, so I didn't answer the phone. Sister, I'm sorry to make you worry."

Songsong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled: "It's okay, you don't need to be so polite with me." After thinking about it, he tried again: "By the way, what can I do for you? gone?"

Xiao Ling was too lazy to chat with her, and said bluntly: "I just want to ask, can you continue to rent the house you rented to me? I can pay double the rent."

Song Song was startled: "Why did you suddenly ask about the house? Are you going back to school?"

"Ah."

"When are you coming back?"

"a while."

"So urgent? Isn't it more than a month before I need to go back to school? It's still midnight in China, why..."

Xiao Ling's voice was tired: "Senior sister, if you rent it out, I'll go back to the dormitory for a few nights."

Biting his lips loosely, he knew that Xiao Ling didn't want to answer, so he said: "It's not rented out, so don't go back to the dormitory, just come here directly. By the way, have you booked the ticket? What time? I'll pick you up."

"Sister, I..."

As if anticipating Xiao Ling's refusal, Songsong said: "Isn't it normal for the landlord to pick up the tenants? Besides, you have to come back so late, and the journey is exhausting. What if something happens along the way? You should be a teacher." Sister, worry about it, please treat me to make it up for dinner next time, okay?"

Her words were sincere, and Xiao Ling couldn't find any reason to refuse, so he could only say: "Then I will send you the flight information later, please trouble me, senior."

"No trouble!" Songsong couldn't hide her joy.

Xiao Ling didn't think too much, and booked the earliest flight after hanging up the phone.There were still three hours, which was more than enough, but she didn't want to dawdle any longer, so she stuffed a few pieces of commonly used clothes into the box, dragged the box and walked to the entrance.

Just about to open the door, Xiao Ling frowned, then turned and went back to the room.When he came out, he had a photo with Li Mi and a paper crane in his hand.She kissed the group photo, to be precise, kissed another person on the group photo, and then put the photo and the thousand paper cranes into the inside of the box.

Holding the pull-up rod in his hand, the cold texture of the metal made Xiao Ling shiver.She zipped up her blouse and took one last look back at the home.

After a few minutes, she left without looking back.

In the room, Li Mi was still in a deep sleep, and even smacked his lips, saying something in his sleep: "Little rascal, why are you so bad, don't kiss me..."
