Chapter 189 I'm Really Nothing
The next day at noon, after having lunch at his own breakfast shop, Li Luo said goodbye to his parents and took Ying Chanxi to the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School.
After bringing some melon seeds, fruits and other things to the security guard at the school gate, Li Luo chatted with the two security guards for a while, and then brought Ying Chanxi into the school smoothly.
By the way, it also allows the few people coming later to come in unimpeded.
Things like whether you can enter and leave the school during holidays often depend on the mood of the security guard.
There's no harm in having a good relationship with them.
After Li Luo brought Ying Chanxi into the school, they went all the way to the open-air basketball court and saw Zhao Rongjun who was shooting basketball out of boredom.
When Zhao Rongjun saw Ying Chanxi on the court, he couldn't help but sigh and reluctantly accepted this reality.
"They really came..."
"Not welcome?" Ying Chanxi asked with a smile.
"Not really." Zhao Rongjun looked helpless and threw the ball in his hand to Li Luo.
Li Luo caught it with one hand and said with a smile: "I hope you won't cry later."
"What do you mean?"
"Literally." Li Luo quickly made a layup, threw the ball into the basket, landed handsomely, and then said, "Let's talk about your business first. What's the situation?"
"Ah... that's it." Zhao Rongjun looked a little uncomfortable, "I feel like I'm a piece of shit right now."
"Ah?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, thinking, is this a big deal? How come it is no longer a thing?
Ying Chanxi, who was standing by, was also a little dumbfounded, and quickly comforted her: "Don't think like that, everyone has a first time, you are just expressing your feelings, not sexual harassment."
"Ah? I didn't confess." Zhao Rongjun blinked, not quite reacting. "I was just leaving the school gate with Luo Jiajia after the bonfire party last night, and then I saw her boyfriend coming to pick her up."
Ying Chanxi: “…”
Li Luo: "...So you didn't ask first? Then how come you're not a human being?"
"It's just... it's not just this." Zhao Rongjun sighed again, then walked to the bench next to him, picked up a plastic bag from the chair, and handed it to Li Luo and Ying Chanxi, "Here, try it, it's all washed."
Li Luo took it curiously, opened the plastic bag and found that it was actually a big bag of strawberries.
He didn't bother to be polite with Zhao Rongjun. He reached out and took two for Ying Chanxi, then picked one and stuffed it into his mouth. He then continued to ask, "So what's the matter? Now that you know Luo Jiajia has a boyfriend, you've given up."
"Of course I know that." Zhao Rongjun ate a bite of strawberry depressedly, then paced under the basket while patting the basketball, "But look at this bag of strawberries, are they delicious?"
"It's quite sweet and big."
"My grandma picked these from a relative's garden. They are all fresh strawberries," Zhao Rongjun said. "A while ago, Luo Jiajia said she wanted to eat strawberries, so I mentioned it to my grandparents when I got home."
"I didn't expect grandma to go and pick a whole box without saying a word. This bag is only one-fifth of the amount."
"I just...feel that it's not right for me...because it's not me who wants to eat it, it's just Luo Jiajia who wants to eat it."
Hearing this, Li Luo was somewhat surprised.
It turns out that what Zhao Rongjun was talking about was not a person, that's what he meant.
"You bastard." Li Luo laughed and shook his head, "Your grandparents must be very happy that you think this way."
"But I think..." Zhao Rongjun thought for a moment, "Before, I always thought that Luo Jiajia was usually very nice to me, maybe she liked me, so I wanted to be nicer to her."
"When she says she wants to eat strawberries, I'll think about whether I should buy her some."
"But now that I think about it, if Luo Jiajia is good to me, then my grandparents must be better to me."
"So why didn't I ever think about being nicer to my grandparents before?"
Li Luo blinked. He didn't expect to hear such philosophical words from Zhao Rongjun.
"Good, good, you have a promising future." Li Luo patted his shoulder with a smile, "It's great that you can think this way. No matter how good a girl is, her family is definitely the most important."
"So you think very clearly." Ying Chanxi couldn't help but say, "I was thinking about how to enlighten you."
"You can give me some advice now." Zhao Rongjun said, "Tell me, what can I do now?"
"See what your grandparents need." Li Luo snatched the basketball from him, made a three-step layup, and continued, "Buy some small gifts for them."
"Yeah... I think so too, but..." Zhao Rongjun scratched his head, "My living expenses are all given by my grandparents, and there is not much left." "Originally, I thought that grandparents wear cotton clothes made by my grandma in winter."
"So I wanted to buy them some down jackets, but the cheapest ones would cost at least 100 or 200 yuan."
"If you want to save money, it will probably take one or two months, and winter will be almost over by then."
Hearing what he said, Li Luo burst out laughing: "Why don't you just ask me to borrow it?"
"That won't work." Zhao Rongjun shook his head repeatedly, "The feeling changes after borrowing money."
"You are really hard to please." Li Luo rolled his eyes at him.
Just as the three of them were chatting about what to buy for their grandparents and how to buy them, another figure appeared at the entrance of the basketball court.
"Hello~"
Xu Youyu waved at them and walked quickly to the basketball hoop.
When Zhao Rongjun saw Xu Youyu, he was shocked, then turned to look at Li Luo: "Why is the senior here too?"
"It's a bit boring for Xixi to watch us play basketball alone." Li Luo said, "So I asked the senior sister to come over and play with us."
Zhao Rongjun: "...Then let's play ball first and stop chatting."
"Okay." Li Luo smiled and did not continue to talk about his good brother's embarrassing moments. He held the basketball and started to challenge him one-on-one.
Xu Youyu sat next to Ying Chanxi and started eating the strawberries brought by Zhao Rongjun.
Soon, Yan Zhusheng and Qiao Xinyan also appeared beside the court.
This time, Zhao Rongjun felt very bad.
"You bastard." Zhao Rongjun asked in a low voice, gritting his teeth, "That's not what I said yesterday! Why are there more and more people?"
"Hey... calm down, calm down." Li Luo patted his good brother on the shoulder, "It's not the first time, why are you so nervous, just get used to it."
Zhao Rongjun was so upset: "...I shouldn't have told you about that."
"I didn't expose you. Except for Ying Chanxi, the others don't know about your breakup."
"I'm not heartbroken, I just suddenly see through the world."
"Okay, okay, okay." Li Luo laughed, "Tell your grandparents, come to my place for dinner today, and let our good sisters give you some advice."
"Thank you so much..."
……
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after playing basketball with Ying Chanxi and the others for a while, Li Luo saw that the time was almost up, so he began to assign tasks.
"Ying Chanxi and Qiao Xinyan went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, Xu Youyu and Yan Zhusheng went to the supermarket to buy snacks."
"What about you two?"
"I'll be responsible for cooking." Li Luo said, "Zhao Rongjun will help me."
After the tasks were assigned, Li Luo called on the girls to set off quickly, and then took Zhao Rongjun to Bi Hai Lan Ting.
"Why do you want me to help you?" Zhao Rongjun asked in confusion, "Doesn't Ying Chanxi usually help you?"
"I suddenly thought of a way." Li Luo said, "Since you don't want to borrow money, I have another trick that can help you earn enough money to buy a down jacket within half a month."
"real or fake?"
"Of course it's true. How could I lie to you?" Li Luo laughed, "It's just a little harder."
"It doesn't matter whether it's hard or not, as long as I can make money."
"Then come to my place in the next few days." Li Luo said, "I will teach you how to make egg fried rice."
"what?"
