Pretending to be cute

"Let's go first?" Song Lin said.

Xiao Ling nodded and walked towards Song Lin: "Okay."

When she passed by Li Mi, she caught sight of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye, and couldn't help but pause, feeling a little strange in her heart.But the huge black umbrella blocked that person's face, Xiao Ling hesitated for a while, but still ignored it, and walked to Song Lin's side.

The two left towards the school gate.

Song Lin was holding an umbrella, and the umbrella was tilted towards Xiao Ling's side. Because the umbrella was not too big, in order not to get wet, the two of them stayed very close. Very intimate.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the voices of the two were lost in the noisy rain, and at the same time, Li Mi's plan to hand over an umbrella, as well as that little bit of secret expectation and joy were lost.

Li Mi turned into a statue, standing quietly in place, watching the two of them walk into the rain curtain and disappear.She felt a little regretful, she should have raised the umbrella just now to see Xiao Ling's expression, so as to identify whether she had the emotions she guessed.

Gentle, caring, and coquettish.

Li Mi thought in a daze, these words originally belonged to her, and only belonged to her alone, even Ling Sheng and the others could not get the same treatment.

"Don't stand there stupidly. I didn't dare to say a word just now. This is good. I was picked up by someone else. Are you jealous? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Someone beside me said.

——It was Xu Mengxiang who had talked a few words before.

Li Mi came back to her senses: "I'm not sad, and I'm not jealous." She lost her spirits and said, "Why should I be sad and jealous? Classmate, even if you open up your relationship abroad, you don't understand me at all, so don't be self-righteous for me. analyze."

Because he was in a bad mood, Li Mi spoke without mercy.She had a cold face as if she was admonishing others in the company. It is said that the students who stayed in the ivory tower would definitely not be able to bear it, but Xu Mengjiang did not. Not only was she not angry, she even smiled and stretched out her hand.

"In that case, give us a chance to get to know each other, big sister?"

Half an hour later, the milk tea shop.

Li Mi was sitting on the soft sofa in the corner, holding a cup of hot handmade almond milk, casually flipping through a book on the shelf.

This milk tea shop is newly opened recently, the decoration style is very fresh, and it insists on using organic fresh milk as raw material, which is of high quality and low price, so it is very popular among people.The rain came fast and heavy today. Many people came to hide from the rain like her, and the store was overcrowded.

However, there are many people, but they basically followed the etiquette. Everyone at each table restrained their volume when chatting. Li Mi listened to soothing light music and took a sip of warm milk tea, gradually relaxing his mood.

Yesterday, she rushed over without sleep and sat on the plane for nearly a day, and just now she was tossing around in the rain for a long time, exhausted both mentally and mentally.This time he suddenly relaxed, the book slid onto his knees, and his eyelids twitched.

Dozing off in a daze, someone put something on her head.

Li Mi was really sleepy, rubbed his bleary sleepy eyes, managed to open them, and found that it was a snow-white towel.

Seeing her wake up, Xu Mengchang, who put down the towel, said with a smile, "Don't sleep. Although the air conditioner is turned on in the store, you are exposed to rain and you will catch a cold when you sleep. Your hair is still wet. Wipe it again, before you unpack it." New towels."

Li Mi hummed, wiped his hair with a towel, his eyes were still foggy, and his voice was weak: "Thank you."

Xu Mengxiang sat down on the sofa on one side: "Big sister, you look so smart, and the clothes and watches on your body are also famous brands. No matter how you think about it, you are a small rich person, but it is really a surprise. Are you not afraid that I am A bad guy?"

Li Mi understood what Xu Mengxiang meant.

It can be said that the two met by chance, but Li Mi actually agreed to the invitation of a stranger like Xu Mengjiang. You must know that Xu Mengjiang just mentioned it casually at the time, and even the person concerned did not have any hope for Li Mi to agree to her.

Li Mi said lazily: "Come to the milk tea shop, what bad things can you do? Besides, I just want to find a place to hide from the rain, no matter where is good."

As long as she doesn't have to stay in that place and recalls the scene of Xiao Ling walking with others over and over again, she thought.

Xu Mengchang wanted to say something else, a tall woman in black came over, took off the apron on her waist, touched Xu Mengchang's hair, and looked at Li Mi curiously: "Xiao Mengchang's friend?"

Xu Meng smiled, pulled the woman to his side, placed a kiss on her red lips, and then introduced generously: "This is my lover, Qing Xin. Sister Qing, that is a friend I only met at school .”

Li Mi raised his brows when he heard Qing's elder sister being called, but he still politely extended his hand: "Hello, Li Mi."

"Hello, Miss Li." Qing Xin and Li Mi shook hands in a friendly manner.She was very careful, seeing that Li Mi's hair was a little wet, and there was a towel in his hand, she couldn't help but softly said: "Long hair is not easy to dry, there is a hair dryer in the staff room, does Miss Li want to go?"

Li Mi declined: "Thank you, but don't bother me. By the way, you can just call me by my name."

"Okay, Li Mi. You guys continue to chat. If you need anything, just call me. The store is busy, so we won't entertain you much."

The business in the store is really busy, Li Mi nodded, signaling to the other party to please go ahead.

When Qingxin left, Xu Mengchang raised her eyebrows and asked, "How is it? My girlfriend is pretty, right? She is also the manager of this store. She loves and spoils me very much. Every day we spend is like Valentine's Day."

The other party's intention to show off was too obvious, Li Mi couldn't laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, you are right, you are right."

Xu Mengxiang took off his glasses, showing his fair face, and snorted, like a proud little peacock: "That must be done, a single dog like you must not understand our love, so that your attitude is so perfunctory."

Single dog Li Mi: "..."

She told herself not to argue with the naive little girl, picked up the milk tea and drank it slowly, enjoying the silky taste of handmade milk tea.

Seeing that Li Mi didn't respond, Xu Mengchang pursed her lips.Immediately, her eyes rolled, and she had a new idea: "While Sister Qing is not here, let me tell you a secret, and take it as a thank you for your contribution to the business. Do you know why I found you looking at Xiao Ling at a glance?"

Li Mi has always been unable to understand this question, and Xu Mengjiao's ambiguous words at that time made her even more confused.

What do you mean there is more than one person looking at Xiao Ling like this?

So Li Mi asked cooperatively: "Why?"

Xu Mengxiang smiled and said: "Because I once stood in the same position as you, watching Xiao Ling silently. Is there anyone who knows secret love better than a crush?"

Li Mi took a sip of milk tea and choked his throat: "What...cough cough cough..."

Xu Mengjiao kindly handed her two pieces of paper, and said leisurely: "When Xiao Ling first entered school, I noticed her, and I have been in love with her for two years. The reason for paying attention to her is also very simple. She is small and obedient. , she looks very protective, but she is also very powerful, and she wins scholarships for architecture majors every year, just like me."

Complimenting Xiao Ling's words, Li Mi listened very seriously, and almost wanted to nod in agreement, but fortunately restrained the impulse in time, and coughed again as a cover: "Really."

Xu Mengxiang asked in surprise: "What, you don't even know these things? You, a crush, have failed too much, right?"

Li Mi:? ? ?

Xu Mengxiang looked at Li Mi, sighed deeply, and muttered in a low voice: "No wonder the umbrellas can't be sent out, I dare say you are worse than me. Tsk, I have been sitting with her as a neighbor in the library for several years. Think, you still have to be jealous of me."

Li Mi squeezed the space between his eyebrows: "No, I didn't, I..."

As someone who has experienced it, Xu Mengxiang understands very well: "Okay, okay, I know you want to say that you don't like her, you just look at her, there is no other meaning, and you won't be so petty to envy me, I understand."

"..." Li Mi was speechless.

After holding back for a while, she didn't hold back an explanation, she simply changed the subject: "You like Xiao Ling so much, why are you with Qing Xin now?"

"You don't think I'm a scumbag, do you?"

Xu Mengxiang laughed, and said calmly: "When I like it, I really like it, and if I don't like it, I really don't like it. How should I put it, like this kind of relationship, there is actually a shelf life. When the right person appears, what does it matter if you give up reasonably? Isn’t there an old saying, if you take a step back, you can hang yourself on a tree?”

Li Mi was slightly dazed.

Familiar words, but at that time others were talking about Xiao Ling and her, but now they were replaced by Xiao Ling and Xu Mengyao.So now, this tree refers to her, and who is that suitable person... Song Lin?

Has Xiao Ling's feelings for her expired?

Li Mi lowered his gaze, and slightly increased his grip on the milk tea cup: "That's right, the sooner the unsuitable people give up, the better."

Xu Mengxiang glanced at Li Mi thoughtfully: "By the way, I know who the person who picked up Xiao Ling just now is. In terms of seniority, I should call that person a senior. Sister Song, that is, Song Lin , She and Xiao Ling are in the same major, graduated several years earlier than us, and now have an independent studio, and the development is quite good."

Li Mi never liked to compare with others, but for some reason, she suddenly felt very upset: "Studio? Oh, it's really amazing."

"Your tone really doesn't sound like a compliment, but rather sour."

Li Mi snorted, adding another level of unhappiness: "Joke, why should I be sour? I'm so boring? Besides..."

——I started a company without showing it off, so what is there for Song Lin to be jealous of?This sentence was swallowed back by Li Mi.

She thought sullenly, she wasn't jealous, she just simply looked down on suitors who were inferior to her.Since ancient times, when children reach the age of looking for a partner, when their parents check, it is impossible to look at people who are poorer than themselves.

She is also this mentality.

Xu Mengyao heard half of what Li Mi said, and was very anxious: "What more? You should finish the sentence, so it's tempting?"

Li Mi pursed her lips, crossed her arms and said, "It's nothing."

Xu Mengxiang pondered for a while: "Could it be that you want to say that you have more money than Song Lin?"

Li Mi's eyes lit up, and he was about to affirm Xu Mengjiao's conjecture modestly, and then he heard Xu Mengjiao say: "Hey, you are at most a rich second generation. I don't think you can boast. Let me ask you , if you are so rich, why does Xiao Ling look down on you? Think about it, your appearance is not inferior to Song Lin, and your age is about the same as Song Lin. If you are so many times richer than her, you can spend money As for the people who are so moved, why don’t you even dare to hand over the umbrella to Xiao Ling in an open and honest manner?”

The corner of Li Mi's mouth twitched: "According to what you mean, do you think the reason why you lost to Song Lin is that she is richer than you?"

Xu Mengxiang shook her head, and said seriously: "No, it's not just for this reason." She was a little worried about how to describe it, thought for a few seconds, and waved to Qing Xin who happened to be walking over.

After Qing Xin finished recording the opinions of the next table, she walked over: "What's the matter? Do you need something to eat?"

Xu Mengqiao hooked her fingers, motioning for her to come over.Qingxin gave Xu Mengqiao a helpless and doting look, but obediently bent down, and leaned over: "What's the matter?"

Xu Mengyao didn't answer, but grabbed Qing Xin's neck and asked Li Mi, "Do you understand?"

Li Mi looked at this and then at that, feeling very confused about the sudden bowl of dog food: "I don't understand."

"Hey, your comprehension is so poor, I want you to be younger than me and Sister Qing." Xu Mengyao hated iron and steel, "As early as two years ago when Xiao Ling was not familiar with Song Lin, I discovered one of her secrets. That is, she likes women, and she is older than her, so young and beautiful girls like me are not in her consideration at all."

Li Mi ignored the flaw in the last sentence: "How do you know, Xiao Ling told you?"

"How can that be?"

Xu Mengbing squeezed Qing Xin's fingers as a comfort, and said to Li Mi: "A little test before, I found that you are completely unqualified as a crush. Then you must not know, Xiao Ling is not only talented in architectural design points, and has made some achievements in painting."

"Huahua? Are you sure?" Li Mi frowned. She had never seen Xiao Ling paint, and she had never heard Xiao Ling talk about painting.

"Sure, that's why I said you don't know Xiao Ling. If you have time, go to the Academy of Fine Arts to have a look. There is a signature XL on their exhibition wall. Several of her paintings are very brilliant, especially the one called "Sister" painting."

Xu Mengxiang said: "There is actually a reason why I talked to you in the library. Apart from asking you to borrow books and discovering that you are reading Xiao Ling, there is another point, that is, the feeling you give me...more like a painting than Song Lin people here."
