Chapter 24 Send Umbrella
Fortunately, it was just a minor scratch and nothing serious.
Li Luo familiarly found a small medical kit from the cabinet in Ying Chanxi's house, dipped a cotton swab in some iodine, and helped Ying Zhicheng disinfect it.
Then I put a Band-Aid on it and it was basically fine. But if I go to cook again, my finger will definitely hurt a little.
"Uncle Ying."
"Ok?"
"It's not convenient for you to cook with your hands, why don't I do it."
"Ah?" Ying Zhicheng frowned, tried to hold the knife himself, gestured with his left hand twice, and still felt a little painful, "Can you do it?"
In fact, he only cooked for a while after his wife passed away, when he was taking care of Ying Chanxi at home.
Later, when I became extremely busy with work, I never went into the kitchen again.
But even so, he is still more reliable than this kid Li Luo.
"Trust me, it's no problem." Li Luo patted his chest and assured, "My family runs a breakfast shop after all, and I learned a few tricks from my dad."
After hearing what Li Luo said, Ying Zhicheng hesitated slightly.
But thinking of Li Luo's admission score to the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, as well as Li Luo's work style and attitude after meeting today, Ying Zhicheng finally nodded: "Then you try, if it doesn't work, I'll do it."
"it is good."
Li Luo took on the task, glanced at Ying Zhicheng's preparations, picked up the kitchen knife, and cut the remaining pork belly into half slices and the other half into shreds.
The sound of the kitchen knife chopping on the chopping board was quick and crisp, which made Ying Zhicheng raise his eyebrows.
You call this learning a few tricks?
The skill of cutting vegetables alone does not seem to be something a beginner can do.
After finishing preparing the dishes, Li Luo took a look at the chicken soup that Ying Zhicheng had cooked earlier and took out a bowl of it for later use. It was just right for cooking and would enhance the flavor.
Then, Ying Zhicheng felt that Li Luo had changed.
Dishes were poured into the pot with precision, and after being stir-fried by Li Luo, the kitchen was immediately filled with fragrance.
To be honest, looking at the skilled cooking, Ying Zhicheng felt that even if the taste was average, it would definitely be much better than what he cooked himself.
"When did you learn to cook?" Although Ying Zhicheng's fingers were injured, he had no problem helping to carry the dishes occasionally. He couldn't help but ask while helping.
"You've been helping out at the store every day lately. You'll learn it if you watch more." Li Luo lied, "Uncle Ying, it's rare for you to come back. If you want to give Ying Chanxi a surprise, you can cook this dish today."
"That's so embarrassing."
"Uncle, please don't be polite. I go to your house every day to play computer games. Cooking a meal is nothing." Li Luo said as he cooked. "Besides, it's not your fault. It's just your finger that's injured. It's good enough that you're thoughtful."
After hearing what he said, Ying Zhicheng stopped talking, which was considered as his agreement.
By the time all the dishes were ready, it was already past five in the evening.
Li Luo cooked a table of delicious dishes and waited for people to come.
At this time, Li Luo's cell phone rang.
He washed his hands, wiped them vigorously on his apron twice, then turned on his cell phone and found that it was a call from Ying Chanxi.
So he gestured to Ying Zhicheng and answered the call.
"Hello? What's up?"
"Li Luo, where are you now?" Ying Chanxi asked in a low voice.
"At your home." Li Luo said, "What's the matter? I have already put your clothes in your bedroom."
"Oh, thank you." Ying Chanxi said, "But I didn't bring an umbrella when I went out today. When I came out, I got on the bus with my classmates, but we didn't get off at the same stop. Can you come to the bus stop to pick me up?"
"Okay, how long will it take?"
"About ten minutes."
"OK, see you later then."
After hanging up the phone, Li Luo looked at Ying Zhicheng.
Ying Zhicheng nodded at him: "Then you go and answer it, I'll clean up the kitchen."
"Okay, I'll go first."
Li Luo walked out of the kitchen, changed his shoes, took his own umbrella at the door, and then took Ying Chanxi's umbrella with him.
Then he went out, walked into the rain with an umbrella, and headed towards the nearest bus stop.
……
On the bus.
Liu Shaowen was sitting in the third row of seats, staring at the driver's rearview mirror in front of him for several minutes.
Ying Chanxi was sitting near the back door of the bus and could be clearly seen in the rearview mirror.
As the long-time second-best student in Yucai Middle School, Liu Shaowen has always had a special feeling for the back of the top student in his grade.
He was No. 1 in the key class, while Ying Chanxi was No. 1 in the parallel class.
When the two of them were in school, they didn't interact much and only chatted with each other when they participated in competitions.
But in Liu Shaowen's spiritual world, he should have had a spiritual connection with Ying Chanxi for a long time.
After all, in the huge Yucai Middle School, I am the only one who can keep up with her pace.
Especially when it comes to the independent enrollment stage of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School.
A total of 27 students from the school were successfully admitted to the No. Affiliated Middle School, but only Shaowen and Chanxier were among the top .
The summer advanced classes of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School are divided into four classes directly according to their academic performance.
Liu Shaowen and Ying Chanxi were naturally assigned to the same class.
I have to say, there is a kind of fate that is entangled in the dark.
Liu Shaowen is quite tall and good-looking. Apart from his dark skin and the glasses he wears, he has no other flaws.
When I was at Yucai Middle School, I received love letters from many girls in private.
However, because he already had Bai Yueguang in his heart, Liu Shaowen simply ignored it.
But he often asked how many love letters Ying Chanxi had received recently.
If the number was similar to his own, Liu Shaowen would feel at ease and feel that this was the fate between the two of them.
There are many similar things.
For example, every Monday, the school invites outstanding student representatives to give speeches on stage.
Over the past three years, he and Ying Chanxi were scheduled to give speeches on stage the most times.
When it comes to various school awards, their names are often indispensable. After the monthly exams, midterm and final exams, the bulletin board that posts the school rankings is Liu Shaowen's favorite place to go.
Because there, he would always be suppressed by Ying Chanxi and unable to turn over.
But no one could take away his second place.
Now he has come to the summer advance class of the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School. In Class 1, he and Ying Chanxi are the only ones from Yucai Middle School.
This made him feel a special bond, as if he had become the incarnation of a guardian knight, and he always wanted to do something for Ying Chanxi.
It's like it rained heavily today.
He found that Ying Chanxi didn't bring an umbrella.
So when school was over in the evening, he packed his schoolbag early, went downstairs to the road that Ying Chanxi had to take to leave the school, and waited quietly with an umbrella.
In his fantasy, Ying Chanxi came to the exit of the teaching building, raised his hands to cover his head, looked at the dense rain in front of him, and perhaps showed a cute expression of distress on his face.
At this time, he was standing nearby, and seemed to have unconsciously caught a glimpse of Ying Chanxi's annoyed expression, so he asked casually, "Do you want to take the bus home?"
After starting the conversation, he chuckled and said, "It's on my way, I'll give you a ride."
The fantasy is beautiful, and Liu Shaowen was waiting at the exit of the teaching building.
But Ying Chanxi did not come out alone. He was accompanied by his female classmate during this period.
Two people walked into the rain holding umbrellas and headed towards the bus stop.
Act I The illusion is shattered.
But it doesn't matter.
Liu Shaowen avoided his father who came to pick him up, got on the bus, and found a seat in the front row.
That female classmate and Ying Chanxi probably didn't get off at the same stop, so he still had a chance.
At that time, you can pretend to be a classmate who gets off at the same station, and then hold an umbrella for her to go home.
Thinking of this, Liu Shaowen became spirited and his body trembled slightly with excitement.
At this time, the bus stopped at a platform.
An old lady came up to the front door.
At this time, the bus was already halfway through its journey and all the seats were full.
Seeing the old lady get on the bus and stand on the bus holding the handrail, Liu Shaowen immediately looked at Ying Chanxi in the back seat.
Then, he stood up resolutely and said to the old lady, "Grandma, please sit here."
"No, no, no," the old lady declined. "You sit down, you sit down."
"It's okay." Liu Shaowen said with a smile, "I'm about to get off the bus, grandma, please sit down."
After Liu Shaowen said this, the old lady immediately thanked him and sat in his seat.
Then, Liu Shaowen straightened his chest and walked to the handrail of the back door and stood there.
Although he did not look towards Ying Chanxi, he could guess that Ying Chanxi must be looking at him at this moment.
And it was with an appreciative and praiseful look.
When he thought of this, Liu Shaowen stood even straighter, and the zipper of his school uniform on his chest seemed to be stretched open.
The bus then went two more stops, and finally slowly drove into Ouhuazhou Street and stopped in front of the bus stop.
When Liu Shaowen saw Ying Chanxi stand up, he came to his senses in an instant and realized that she was about to get off the car.
After the bus stopped and the back door was opened, Liu Shaowen took the lead, walked out of the bus, opened his umbrella and waited on the platform.
he thought.
When Ying Chanxi got off the car and saw that it was raining so heavily outside, it would be natural for me to hold an umbrella and send her home.
"Huh?" At the bus stop, Liu Shaowen opened his umbrella and turned around at the right time to look at Ying Chanxi who was getting off the bus. He asked in surprise, "Are you getting off at this stop too?"
"Yeah." Ying Chanxi looked at Liu Shaowen, a little confused, "What's wrong?"
Because this was the first time she saw Liu Shaowen on the bus in more than a month.
"You didn't bring an umbrella?" Liu Shaowen smiled slightly, raised his umbrella, and gestured, "It's raining a bit hard now. I can give you a ride. Your home should be nearby, right?"
"Oh, thank you." Ying Chanxi thanked him politely, then shook his head and pointed behind Liu Shaowen, "Someone is here to pick me up."
When these words came out, Liu Shaowen was shocked.
After all, he thought that the person who could pick up Chanxi at the bus stop near his home must be his parent.
Am I going to meet my parents so soon?
Isn’t that too bad?
Thinking of this, Liu Shaowen slowly turned around and silently prepared himself for how to greet someone so as to leave a good impression.
But when he turned around and saw the boy in front of him who was about the same age as him, his expression was suddenly stunned.
Li Luo looked at Liu Shaowen with a strange expression, then threw the umbrella in his hand into Ying Chanxi's arms and said to her, "Let's go home and have dinner."
Liu Shaowen looked at Li Luo's face and felt that it looked familiar.
Then he quickly calmed down and pretended to ask Ying Chanxi casually, "Is this your brother?"
Ying Chanxi was obviously stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Yes, yes."
After that, she opened the umbrella that Li Luo had given her, and walked into the rain side by side with Li Luo. She also turned her head and said to Liu Shaowen, "Thank you for your kindness. Bye."
Hiss... Liu Shaowen's breathing stagnated as he looked at the girl's back. Although the plans in his mind did not go as he wished, it seemed not bad.
She said thank you to me...
At this moment, the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrated again.
Liu Shaowen quickly picked up the phone.
"Where have you been? The teacher at school said you were gone! How come you're gone? I've been waiting at the school gate for twenty minutes, but you didn't answer my calls!"
"Dad! I..."
……
On the way home, Li Luo complained, "Who is your brother?"
"You were born a day later than me, so if you're not my younger brother, then what are you?"
"Who was that just now? He looked familiar."
"Him? A classmate from the advanced class, also from Yucai, but I don't know him very well."
