Pretending to be cute

When Ling Sheng arrived, she looked at the bench, the white and clean little girl was waiting for her, holding a panda balloon in her hand, so cute.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road, so I'm late." Ling Sheng patted Xiao Ling's shoulder, and compared his waist position, a little surprised, "Well, I've grown a lot taller. I was still around my waist a few years ago, Come catch up with me now."

Xiao Ling stood up, gave Ling Sheng a big hug, and said with a smile: "Sister Ling is joking again, I'm sitting, how can I catch up with you standing alone? Besides, it's not like I haven't seen it at school, what? years ago?"

"Well, not a few years ago, but a few months ago. But it's not an exaggeration for you to grow so tall." Ling Sheng hugged Xiao Ling back, shook the car key in his hand, "Okay, let's not talk about this first, I will take you to a place, let's sit down and talk slowly."

"Okay." Xiao Ling replied, without asking where Ling Sheng was taking her.

Ling Sheng is Li Mi's childhood friend. The two have known each other since they were young. They grew up in the same yard and went to the same elementary school, middle school, and high school.When he was in college, due to some accidents, Li Mi went to study abroad, while Ling Sheng stayed in China.

After graduating, Li Mi returned to China to pick up the mess of Li's family. When everyone disliked her, she took over Hongjiang, a company that couldn't afford it.At that time, Hongjiang was in chaos, no one cared about Li Mi, the airborne boss, and they all regarded her as a joke.

Who knew, it was this joke that had no money and no one to use. In just a few years, he united a group of friends to forcefully clean up the Hongjiang River, and then took over the Mingping Hydropower Station project in one go, and became a leader in the construction industry of City C. five.

Among those friends, Ling Sheng was one of them.

When Li Mi was in the most difficult time, Ling Sheng quit his own Lingyun Company without saying a word, and instead of being a good senior director, he came to Hongjiang as a small engineering director, helping Li Mi through countless big and small. Small difficulty.

This was something that Xiao Ling, who was only 13 years old, could not do.

Not only that, Ling Sheng was also very kind to Xiao Ling himself.During the three years abroad, Ling Sheng would visit Xiao Ling whenever she was free, and would bring her dumplings, moon cakes, and hot pot ingredients.It was Ling Sheng who took care of her when she was sick.

Xiao Ling was very grateful to Ling Sheng.

"Sister Ling." Xiao Ling looked at Ling Sheng's profile and called out.

"What's the matter?" Ling Sheng held the steering wheel firmly. Knowing that Xiao Ling was prone to motion sickness, she deliberately opened all the windows to keep the car ventilated.

The car turned around and entered the underground parking lot.

When Ling Sheng stopped the car, Xiao Ling hesitated for a moment, and asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time: "Sister Ling, how are you and Sister Li going?"

Ling Sheng paused when he turned the car key: "Let's not talk about whether Li Mi and I like women, why do you always like to match us?"

Xiao Ling smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "If it's Sister Ling, I'll feel relieved."

Ling Sheng's pupils shrank slightly.

For so many years, Ling Sheng actually took pity on this child who was nearly ten years younger than him.In the past, I felt sorry for Xiao Ling's family background and experience, but now I feel sorry for her budding love, which can only be moved into a dark corner before it blooms.

However, there is always a limit to how much we can help.

Ling Sheng looked at Xiao Ling from the rearview mirror, with sharp eyes: "Let me ask another question. Lingling, do you want me to say that Li Mi and I are together, or do you want me to say that nothing happened?"

"Rationally, I hope it's the former. Because of this, I can give up."

Xiao Ling struggled, but still closed his eyes, and said honestly: "In terms of selfishness, of course it is the latter. I wish that Sister Li would not be with other people for the rest of her life. In this way, I will always have a chance..."

In the end, she lost confidence.

Because she knows that even if Li Mi has never been with anyone else in her whole life, it doesn't mean she has any chance.

It's just that she has no choice but to put all her eggs in one basket.

"Don't worry, Li Mi and I are not together. I have known her for so many years. If we want to have love, we have been together for a long time. How can I worry about you, a little kid who has just grown up?" Ling Sheng looked away and shrugged. shrug.

There was a hint of joy in Xiao Ling's eyebrows, but he still pursed his lips: "Then, what about Brother Fu?"

"Brother Fu?" Ling Sheng thought about it carefully and hesitated, "You mean Fu Qiuyue's brother Fu Qiugui?"

Xiao Ling nodded.

"Who did you hear that? Aren't Fu Qiudou and Li Mi friends?"

"I'm just asking." Xiao Ling still felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Feng Fei's words, but he didn't say much.

"Fu Qiudial..."

Ling Sheng chuckled: "God, you didn't call Brother Ri, I really didn't realize it all at once. I still thought about it for a long time, hey, who is this Brother Fu, do I know him?"

"Pfft." Xiao Ling was also amused by this long-lost address, and suddenly recalled the past, feeling a little nostalgic.

There is a reason why he is called Brother Fu Qiudunri.

The Fu family has a son and a daughter, and the names are quite interesting.The eldest son is called Fu Qiugui, which means the shadow of the sun in autumn, and the daughter is called Fu Qiuyue, which means the moon in autumn. One day and one month represent the prosperity of family and everything.

Nine years ago, when Xiao Ling was introduced to friends by Li Mi for the first time, Fu Qiugui and Fu Qiuyue were there.Xiao Ling was still young at the time, and after hearing the origin and explanation of the names of the two brothers and sisters, he asked in confusion, since one is the moon, why is the other not the sun, but the shadow of the sun?

Fu Qiugui thought it made sense, so he followed Xiao Ling's wishes and asked her to call her Brother Ri from now on.

As a result, at this time, Li Mi came back after making the phone call, and when he heard that the little boy Fu Qiudou wanted to bring with him called him Brother Ri, he became so angry that he ignored Fu Qiudou for a long time, and refused to listen to anyone who persuaded him.

Because of this incident, Li Mi was laughed at by the friends present for a long time.

"Hey, do you remember what Li Mi used to call him?" Ling Sheng asked with a smile.

"Of course I remember. She told Brother Fu very seriously, don't teach children such words that can be used as both verbs and nouns. Then she told me very seriously that the human heart is sinister, and you can't take it casually." Make people take advantage."

"Oh my god, you have a sinister heart, how old were you at that time, Li Mi is really..."

"Well, I really didn't understand how people took advantage of me at the time. I asked Sister Li, but she refused to tell me the specific reason."

"How could she tell you that she is most afraid that someone will lead you into trouble, hahahaha!"

"Uh, bad..."

The two looked at each other, and then laughed tacitly.

They both know Li Mi, and share interesting things about Li Mi over the years together, the atmosphere is very harmonious.In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the door of a cafe.

Ling Sheng led Xiao Ling to push the door in, walked around the vines on the right familiarly, sat in the reserved seat by the window, and said to the waiter who was following: "A cup of cappuccino, um... Ling, or?"

Seeing Xiao Ling nodding, Ling Sheng smiled, and continued: "A cup of lemon tea, and two servings of tiramisu, thank you."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter took notes and turned to leave.

Before Xiao Ling could ask a question, Ling Sheng took the initiative to explain: "This is a treasure place that I discovered by accident. Tiramisu is very delicious. I will buy one whenever I pass by here. I think you should like it."

"Well, I trust sister Ling's vision."

Xiao Ling took a little look at the coffee shop, the style is simple but stylish, and it is not too grand, if the drinks and desserts taste good, it is indeed a good place.

"The coffee here is good, don't you want to try it?" Ling Sheng said lazily, leaning on the big bear behind him.

"I don't like coffee much."

"I think it's not that you don't like coffee, but that you love lemon tea so much that you don't want to accept anything else. Oh, and tartary buckwheat, Li Mi's favorite brew." Ling Sheng laughed at Yan Yan.

Xiao Ling scratched her cheek, a little embarrassed: "Sister Ling..."

Knowing that the little girl was shy, Ling Sheng stopped teasing her, but said seriously: "So, now, are you willing to tell me why you had to study abroad? Was it really for your studies, or..."

Both of them understood what was not said.

Xiao Ling stopped laughing, thought for a while, and said, "There are all of them."

"All?"

"Ah."

"Is it convenient for you to tell me?" Ling Sheng asked again seeing Xiao Ling's distressed face.

Xiao Ling nodded and bit her lower lip lightly: "I trust Sister Ling, but I really don't want to talk about this matter."

After apologizing, she looked at Ling Sheng eagerly again: "Is it okay?"

Ling Sheng laughed, took a spoon to scoop up a piece of tiramisu that was just served, and the fan-shaped tip suddenly turned into an irregular shape: "Yes, children should have their own little secrets when they grow up."

"Sister Ling, why do you always treat me like a child like Sister Li..."

"It's just a child... alright, alright, don't be angry, I won't tease you anymore. You said you wanted to find me, besides asking if your sister Li is single, what else is there?"

Xiao Ling took a sip of lemon tea, and because he was biting the straw, his voice was a little muffled: "I... accidentally annoyed Sister Li, and I didn't know how to coax her, so I just wanted you to call her out for me."

"You don't know how to coax her? How come, it's very simple, just go home, if Li Mi gets angry again, there will always be..."

Xiao Ling drooped his eyelids and stopped talking.

Seeing Xiao Ling's reaction, and then contacting Li Mi to confide, Ling Sheng suddenly understood what was going on between these two people.

She crossed her hands and said meaningfully: "It seems that you don't plan to go home. But as far as I know, you didn't 'accidentally', it was intentional."

Xiao Ling was surprised, and when he thought of something, he frowned even tighter: "Sister Li came to see you, and told you about my going to graduate school?"

It's all about asking, but she has basically determined from Ling Sheng's attitude that Li Mi must have looked for Ling Sheng in the past two days.Although it's normal for girlfriends to share trifles, Li Mi is different.

Xiao Ling knew Li Mi very well, that person would share everything with his friends, if Ling Sheng knew about it, it could only mean that Li Mi must be very unhappy, much more unhappy than she imagined.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ling's heart clenched tightly, he couldn't think of anything else for a while, he took out his mobile phone to contact Li Mi, but someone held his hand.

"Sister Ling?"

Ling Sheng smiled lightly, with a cat-like sly look, and hissed at her: "I know you want to find her. Finish the tiramisu first, and I'll find a solution later."

Xiao Ling was dumbfounded.

There is no need to urge, when Xiao Ling is full, he will soon see what Ling Sheng's so-called method is.

"Hey, Li Mi? Let me tell you, the kid accidentally fell down."

"Don't worry, it's not serious. It's just that the skin is broken and some blood is bleeding. It's not a big problem. I will take good care of her."

"Location? Wait a minute, I'll send you the location... Well, it's the cafe I often go to in the commercial plaza of D City. The tiles here are too clean, and it's easy for people to slip when walking up... Hello? Hello ? Li Mi?"

The call was unilaterally cut off, but Ling Sheng was not in a hurry at all, and even gave Xiao Ling a "V" very happily, as if to say - look, my trick is super easy to use.

Xiao Ling: "..."
