Pretending to be cute

After the plane landed, the whole fuselage was jolted. Although the magnitude was not too big, Xiao Ling woke up after a very light sleep.

She took off the blindfold and adjusted to the light.It was six o'clock in China when we set off, and it was evening abroad. After nearly [-] hours of flying, it happened to be afternoon here. The warm autumn sun shone through the window. Even though we couldn't feel the temperature, it still gave us a sense of warmth .

Looking at the blue sky, recalling the uneasiness three years ago, Xiao Ling looked calm and even wanted to laugh.

It's hard to make a decision, but when you actually do it, that's what it turns out to be.What Fu Qiuyue said is correct, the earth will still spin without someone losing oxygen, let alone being unable to live.

Besides, she didn't lose Li Mi.

The voice announcement was ready to leave, Xiao Ling got off the plane following the flow of people, and got on the ferry.While waiting for the checked suitcase to arrive, she took out her mobile phone and turned it on, because it was midnight in China, she did not choose to make a call, but sent a message to Li Mi: [Here we are. 】

Call back right away.

Xiao Ling looked at the screen for two seconds, then answered: "Hello?" Because she had just woken up not long ago, her voice was a little hoarse.

Li Mi suddenly forgot the manuscript he had written before, and worried: "Ah Ling, why is your voice like this, do you have a cold?"

Xiao Ling cleared his throat, and his voice became clear: "No, I just woke up."

Li Mi relaxed his mind a little, and then instructed: "I've checked, you didn't take a few thick clothes, and your health is not good, you may have caught a cold when you got off the plane. So go back After the dormitory, take a hot bath first, and then take some medicine, otherwise it will be troublesome if you really catch a cold."

Xiao Ling hummed: "I see."

The tone is neither too eager nor cold, but compared to the past, it is either enthusiastic and energetic, or soft and coquettish, or teasing with a smile, which is more than 01:30.

He was mad at her after all.

Li Mi felt a little wronged, and pulled up the quilt to cover himself: "Why are you leaving in such a hurry, and didn't you say hello to me in advance?"

Xiao Ling said: "The mentor sent me a message, asking me to go back early, saying that there is a very good project, so I don't want to miss this opportunity. Because it is temporary, I don't have time to inform you, so I can only leave first. "

No matter how dull Li Mi was, he knew this was an excuse, bit his lips and asked, "Then why did you catch the earliest flight? No matter how bad it is, you can wake me up and I'll take you there..."

Xiao Ling followed the good advice: "Since it's all a temporary decision, there's no time to wait. Besides, Sister Li has to go to work the next day, so what if she's not in good spirits, I don't want to delay your work."

Thoughtful and sensible, but unfamiliar and polite.

Li Mi's throat choked: "Ah Ling, you have a problem with me."

It is an affirmative sentence, not an interrogative sentence.

Xiao Ling paused, then said softly, "I haven't."

"You have."

"I do not have."

Li Mi was not too naive, and said stubbornly again: "You have it, you have it. You are angry with me, so angry that you don't want to see me, so angry that you want to end the agreement early and go back to school early, aren't you? "

Xiao Ling stopped talking, only shallow breathing sound, which means she has not hung up the phone yet.After a long silence, she said: "I don't, I just don't want to force you anymore, so that you are tired, and I am tired too. I know you always want me to only treat you as a sister, and now I will let you do what you want, and end this wrong relationship , shouldn't you be very happy?"

The word "wrong" hurt Li Mi's heart.Although this was what she hoped, but thinking of the love that the child couldn't hide before, she felt that the person who said these two words might be more sad than her.

She really couldn't be happy, but she didn't know how to refute.

And Li Mi's silence, in Xiao Ling's view, was a silent acquiescence.Xiao Ling hooked the corners of her mouth in self-deprecating manner, thinking to herself what hope was she still holding on to, it was so funny, how could Sister Li be reluctant to part with it, obviously wishing that there would be no such wrong half a month.

It's not even a breakup, it's just that she unilaterally stepped down from the stage.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling became more and more exhausted: "Sister Li, is there anything else, if not, I will..."

Hearing Xiao Ling's intention to hang up the phone, Li Mi became anxious, and couldn't find a suitable topic, so he could only ask dryly: "Red rope... yes, you took my red rope?"

Xiao Ling was surprised that she would notice such a small thing, but she was relieved thinking that Li Mi would find out that something was missing in her hand sooner or later.

"I took it."

"It's not given to me, why take it away?"

Xiao Ling said indifferently: "It has no meaning to exist anymore, so it's okay if I take it away. Sister Li wants a present, and I'll give it to you next time."

Enraged by Xiao Ling's indifferent tone, Li Mi clenched the corner of the quilt tightly with his hands, and said seriously: "I don't want it, I want that red rope, you send it back to me, or..."

You come back with it.

Li Mi thought about the latter sentence, but he still didn't have the nerve to say it.If you really say that, how willful you are, even if you want to run away from home again, the journey of nearly forty hours back and forth is too tossing.

She is a sensible elder, so she won't be like this.

Hearing these words, Xiao Ling felt particularly uncomfortable.Did Li Mi care so much about that shoddy red rope, and didn't he care about her at all?

Frustrated, Xiao Ling said: "It's gone, I can't send it, you can go to the temple and buy another one to wear."

"What do you mean, why not?"

Xiao Ling said coldly: "After cutting it off, I threw it away."

Li Mi turned into a hundred thousand whys, and continued to ask: "The good red strings are all given to me, why do you need to cut them?"

Xiao Ling picked up the turned suitcase, impatiently: "I've already cut it, what are you talking about? Besides, Sister Li, do you really not know the meaning of the red string, or are you pretending not to know? Why did I give it to you at the beginning? You, don't you understand now?"

In the past, Li Mi was not a person who broke the casserole and asked the bottom line, but she wanted to chat with Xiao Ling more to calm down Xiao Ling, but she didn't think that every word she said would have the opposite effect.

Xiao Ling seemed even more angry.

First being beaten up by Ling Sheng, and now being beaten up by his well-behaved child, Li Mi opened his mouth, full of grievances: "I...understand."

Xiao Ling's eyes were slightly red, bloodshot eyes appeared due to lack of sleep, she sneered and closed her eyes: "You understand? No, you don't understand."

That time when he went to the temple, Xiao Ling secretly bought a red rope for himself while Li Mi was out to make a phone call.A marriage of thousands of miles is linked by a thread, and each couple is connected by a red line, which means they will be together forever. That's what she thought at the time.

But the reality poured cold water on her severely.

Xiao Ling knew that this was her wishful thinking, and also knew that it was her wishful thinking, so when she left Li Mi's room, she took off the red string.

She gave up.

"Sister Li, I gave you the red string because I had bad intentions. I lied to you that it was a pure blessing with an invisible heart. I'm really sorry. But now I know my mistake, I really know my mistake Yes, I also took the red string, so—”

"In the future, I will only be your younger sister. Whoever you like and whoever you want to be with is up to you. As a younger sister, I bless you. I mean what I say. Sister Li doesn't have to worry."

Before completely collapsing, Xiao Ling held back his sobs, looked at Songsong who was waiting for her at the exit, and said to Li Mi: "Senior Sister is here to pick me up, I won't talk to Sister Li for now."

"Beep...beep..."

Before Li Mi could say anything, the phone had already hung up.

Throwing the phone aside, Li Mi fell powerlessly on the bed, as if there was a big hole in his heart, empty and ventilated.

She thought, what did Xiao Ling mean by those words?Do you really not like her anymore?Do you really only think of her as your sister?However, the kid obviously likes her so much, so much that even a small response from her will make her eyes shine.

Like this kind of thing, can it be easily changed?

Thinking of that senior sister Sheng Sheng, Li Mi thought sullenly again: What senior sister, is she the friend she entrusted before?As soon as people come, they don't want to talk to themselves. Could it be that senior sister Lao Shizi is more important than her?

The more he thought about it, the more annoying he became, and Li Mi also suffered from insomnia.

The next day.

Yawning, Ling Sheng pushed open the door of the house, and bumped into a person just as he took a step.Suddenly vigilant, Ling Sheng didn't even think about it, grabbed the opponent's arm, slid down, and knocked the opponent to the ground with all his strength.

The person who was knocked down grunted and stopped moving.

Ling Sheng heard the voice sound familiar, and when he looked carefully at the person who was pushed to the ground, he was shocked: "Li Mi, why, why is it you again?"

She quickly pulled up the man who seemed to be in a coma, and while supporting him by the shoulders, she patted Li Mi's dusty face: "Hey, Mr. Li, wake up, I'm still clear about the strength I exerted myself, don't touch Ci'er , open your eyes quickly."

Unexpectedly, Li Mi felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, and he said weakly, "It hurts, it hurts."

Ling Sheng: "..."

It hurts so bad you forget it.

Ling Sheng helped him onto the sofa in the room, closed the door, took out the bruise medicine that was always prepared at home, and applied the medicine to Li Mi Zhuangqing's elbow.Li Mi endured the pain and didn't say a word, and the clothes he wiped on the ground were dusty, making him look really pitiful.

Ling Sheng glanced at her, and said angrily: "Hey, Mr. Li, are you sick, squatting at my door every day to be the door god?"

Li Mi said quietly, "I'm afraid I'll disturb you."

The same tone, the same words, the only difference in the scene is that one is outside the door and the other is inside the house.

The corner of Ling Sheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't know where to start complaining: "Yeah, I asked for something again. Tell me, what happened, eh, wait, why are your dark circles so heavy, you couldn't sleep alone last night , thinking too much, did not fall asleep?"

Originally, it was just a joke, but Li Mi pursed his lips and hummed.

Ling Sheng raised his eyebrows: "I finally admitted it. It seems that someone is anxious? I thought it was still the same as yesterday, the emperor didn't rush the eunuch."

Li Mi hugged Pikachu as a pillow, turned his face away and ignored her.

Ling Sheng was a little amused, but still forced Li Mi to clarify the matter with Xiao Ling.After listening to the whole phone call, Ling Sheng was silent for a while, then rolled her eyes, took the pillow and beat Li Mi's head fiercely.

"Li Mi, I suspect you are a pig."

"Can't you simply say, don't go, do I miss you? You go around, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I ask you to type up the manuscript in advance? You can't even read along?"

Li Mi couldn't dodge on the sofa and was punched several times.She raised her hand to protect her head, while defending: "When I was nervous, I forgot to read the manuscript."

Thinking of something, she added in a low voice: "And, what's more, Ah Ling's conversation is different from what I imagined, and the manuscript is also useless."

Ling Sheng: "..."

There is no need to doubt, Li Mi is a pig.

"All right, you're nervous. But no matter how nervous you are, it's not difficult to say 'I like you', at least you won't be in the current situation. Can't you hear how sad Lingling is?" Ling Sheng put down the pillow , no longer hit her.

Li Mi lowered her hands and said seriously: "I can tell...but, I don't like her, no, I can't say I don't like her, but that kind of like is between relatives, not between lovers, how can I Lie to her?"

Ling Sheng took a breath, held back the swear words stuck in his throat, and pointed at the door of his house tremblingly: "Did you see that door, go out."
