"Grandpa Su, this is 28 yuan, take a look."
After everyone finished eating the wonton noodles, Mo Jingchun took out a few banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Grandpa Su who was standing beside him.
"Xiaochun, there's no need to be like this."
Grandpa Su put the banknotes into his pocket without even looking at them.
"Woo, so satisfied!" Mo Ling touched his round belly and burped comfortably.
"Okay, it's almost time to go back."
Xu Fan took out the cell phone from his pocket, checked the time, and said to the people sitting next to him.
Jiang Li nodded. She really had to go back. She still had to prepare for her part-time job tomorrow.
"Then Grandpa Su, we'll leave first."
Everyone waved to Grandpa Su under the big banyan tree, and Grandpa Su still nodded happily and waved as well.
"Xu Fan, take Mo Ling back first." Mo Jingchun said to the two people beside him, "Jiang Li is not familiar with this place, I will take her out first."
"Then you can take the bus by yourself." Xu Fan didn't say anything more and asked Mo Ling to get on the bus.
"Sister Jiang Li, I'm leaving." Mo Ling looked at Jiang Li, whom she had just met today, with some reluctance. Although they had known each other for a short time, Mo Ling had already regarded her as her friend.
"Okay," Jiang Li did not show too much emotion like Mo Ling, and remained calm.
"Let's go," Xu Fan twisted the handlebars, and the electric bike quickly drove out of the alley and rode towards the road outside.
As for Mo Jingchun, he had already gotten on his bicycle and was calling Jiang Li to come up.
"Hold on tight."
"Yeah." Jiang Li replied in a low voice, holding the iron bars of the back seat tightly with both hands.
Seeing this, Mo Jingchun pedaled his bicycle hard and started to go back along the route they had taken.
Neither of them spoke along the way, only the night wind whistled past their ears, making a messy and fragmented sound.
Mo Jingchun walked all the way back to the bus stop of Hangzhou No. 3 Middle School. He got off the bicycle and returned it to Jiang Li, while he waited for the bus here.
"Then I'll leave," Jiang Li said in a low voice, covering his face with his hair.
"Okay, see you next week."
Mo Jingchun had a bright smile on his face and nodded vigorously at Jiang Li.
Jiang Li pushed her bicycle forward two steps. Perhaps she sensed the gaze behind her, or perhaps Jiang Li had something to say that she hadn't said, but she stopped anyway.
"See you next week."
Mo Jingchun froze in place after hearing Jiang Li's words, but he quickly reacted, "Okay! See you next week."
After doing all this, Jiang Li no longer hesitated, got on his bicycle, and disappeared from Mo Jingchun's sight.
…………
Jiang Li returned to the Seventh Welfare Home. This night was very different. Jiang Li turned on the light in the living room and sat in a chair in a daze, seemingly recalling his previous memories.
Mo Jingchun, Xu Fan, Mo Ling...
For some reason, when Jiang Li thought of these people, his mind also recalled the memories of them enjoying the breeze on the cross-river bridge and eating wonton noodles.
The sunset and the wind seemed to still be on me, and the smiles of those people were still faintly visible.
Jiang Li silently covered his chest, a warm current rising from there uncontrollably and flowing into his heart.
Jiang Li was very conflicted. On the one hand, she tried to reduce communication with others and stay alone.
But at the same time, he couldn't help wanting to contact others and seek warmth. This might be Jiang Li's instinct as a social creature like humans.
Just like ancient people loved fire, warm things always make people feel nostalgic and want to possess them.
At this moment, Jiang Li's mobile phone on the table vibrated twice. He picked it up and saw that they were two new messages about adding friends.
——The waiter of the Holy Library is me, the Holy Grace Radiant Knight of the End, the Wheel Dancer.
——Jiang Li, me, and Xu Fan.
Jiang Li stared at the screen of her mobile phone, her eyes full of struggle. Her finger lingered on it, unable to make a decision.
Reason told her that she absolutely could not agree to be alone.
But the desire for warmth in my heart urged me to agree.
Jiang Li held the peace locket on his chest for a long time, then clicked "Agree".
Jiang Li had just agreed to the two people's friend requests, and the next second he was pulled into a group chat.
Jiang Li picked up his phone and found that he had been pulled into a group chat called "Beggars' Gang".
There were only four people in the group chat. Apart from Jiang Li, the other three were Mo Jingchun, Xu Fan, and Mo Ling.
——[Beggars' Sect]
Mo Jingchun: Congratulations to my Beggars' Sect for having a new member.
Mo Ling: Hehe, with me, the Holy Grace Radiant Wheel of the End Knight, here, the expansion of the Beggars' Sect is inevitable [Proud][Proud].
Xu Fan: New members, please speak quickly.
Xu Fan: [Pandaman Emoticon Pack]
Jiang Li: The fourth member of the Beggars' Sect.
Mo Ling: Not bad, not bad. You really deserve to be the waiter of the Holy Library.
Mo Jingchun: Then the four of us are friends.
Friend... Jiang Li's pupils began to dilate, his heart seemed to be hit by a hammer, and his whole body began to tremble slightly.
Xu Fan: We’ve been friends for a long time!
Mo Ling: I think it would be better to change [Beggars' Sect] to [Kingdom of Heaven].
Mo Jingchun: Stop making noise.
————
Jiang Li had no idea what the Beggars' Gang was talking about. He sat quietly in the living room, clutching the peace locket on his chest. After a long time, he put down his phone, got up, and went to the bathroom.
I took the towel and took off my clothes. The warm water soaked my body again, flowing down my face and body curves to the floor.
