The first thing I said was: "Duoduo, may I call you that? Seeing you is like seeing peach blossoms blooming. Your smile is so beautiful and sweet. Duoduo, I like you. I want to tell you, I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Meng Yu glanced at the signature.
He scoffed lightly; there were several typos in it.
How old are these children?
First year of junior high? Some kids are only 12 years old during summer vacation, and they already know what boyfriend and girlfriend are?
Meng Yu wondered, "Is this a love letter?"
But he didn't see any genuine emotion in the words; he just found it funny.
Meng Yu crumpled the letter into a ball, thought for a moment, then peeled off the first two characters, "Duo Duo," before throwing the letter away.
When Gao Yiduo arrived, Meng Yu was sitting on the steps, supporting himself with his hands behind his back.
He was staring blankly into the distance.
Many young boys and girls living nearby were watching him.
A little girl approached him, blushing, and asked, "Brother, can you play with me?"
"Okay. What do you guys want to play?"
"Play ball, brother, can you play ball?"
Meng Yu shook his head: "I don't know how, but I can learn."
The little girl's eyes immediately lit up again.
Meng Yu leaped down the steps with a graceful and swift movement.
He took the ball thrown to him by another little boy and tried to learn how to dribble it.
It has to be said that Meng Yu is a genius. Although you can't tell from his appearance, he learns things really fast and can pick them up in no time.
He can also spin the ball on one finger.
Watching the ball spin so coolly on his fingers, the little boys and girls all exclaimed "Wow!" and looked on with admiration.
"Brother, teach me how to spin it! Brother, you said you couldn't play basketball, but you're so good at it."
Meng Yu laughed: "I really don't know how. This is the first time I've ever touched a ball."
Seemingly embarrassed by the praise, Meng Yu reached out and touched his neck.
He had fair skin, and when he touched his neck, he didn't even realize that it was covered in grime.
Gao Yiduo didn't disturb them, and just sat on the steps watching them play on the large circular central platform.
Meng Yu saw her, waved to Gao Yiduo, said something to the little kids, and then ran towards Gao Yiduo.
He stepped over three or four steps in one stride and was right in front of her.
Are we going back?
"Okay, let's go back. You have a lot of homework tonight. I want to highlight some key points for you and find some of my old notes and materials to bring you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is Saturday, no school."
"Oh, then I'll give it to you on Monday."
"Would you like to come to my house tomorrow? I'll pick you up."
“Okay,” Gao Yiduo readily agreed.
The parents of both families had met and eaten together several times, and got along very well.
Meng Yu first took Gao Yiduo home, and only after watching Gao Yiduo push her bicycle into the community did he turn around and ride home.
As soon as he returned, Xu Ying came to greet him.
Xu Ying has been in good spirits lately, and her health has improved considerably.
She set up an easel in the garden and was painting.
Hearing the noise, I knew my son had come home.
"Xiaoyu, you're back? Did you go out to play?"
"Yes. Yiduo and I went to eat jianbing guozi. We rode for an hour round trip. The guozi was delicious. Can our whole family go eat it together the day after tomorrow? Yiduo said it tastes best when eaten fresh, otherwise I'll bring some back for you."
When Xu Ying heard Meng Yu mention Gao Yiduo repeatedly in his words, her smile deepened, and she even felt quite gratified.
At least Meng Yu has a friend, and he doesn't reject that friend, which is good.
She won't interfere with her child's friendships.
"Mom, Yiduo is coming to visit tomorrow. She's bringing me study materials and wants to help me with my studies. What should I prepare?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying, who was usually calm, panicked.
"What do we need to prepare? I... I'll go ask your dad."
She herself has never raised children.
But she remembered what to prepare when her friend's child invited other children over.
Yes, food, drinks, and entertainment.
These two kids are so old now, they can do without toys, but they still need to eat and drink, right?
"I understand. I need to prepare some good food. What does Yiduo like to eat?"
Meng Yu's eyes softened: "Anything is fine. She likes anything delicious, just like me."
"This child is so easy to raise," Xu Ying couldn't help but laugh.
She hesitated for a moment, then reached out to pat Meng Yu's head.
Before she could even stand on tiptoe, Meng Yu had already obediently lowered his head, letting Xu Ying rub his feet.
After Xu Ying finished massaging him, Meng Yu said, "Mom, I'm all grown up now. If you really like me or are especially happy in the future, you can pat me on the shoulder."
That's exactly what Meng Tian did. He liked this way of communicating; it didn't require being too intimate, but he still felt affirmed.
"Okay, Mom understands."
Meng Yu had originally planned to invite Jiang Wanning over, but then he thought that if Jiang Wanning came, Gao Yiduo would probably just be too busy getting close to her.
Meng Yu had already witnessed it firsthand; some girls were just as enthusiastic about Jiang Wanning as they were about idolizing celebrities.
He was afraid that Gao Yiduo would do the same.
Meng Tian returned home in the evening, and the family of three had dinner. Meng Tian then drove the three of them to the mall to pick out snacks.
Xu Ying and Meng Tian wanted to make it up to Meng Yu, so they naturally offered him all sorts of high-end snacks and drinks to choose from.
Meng Yu didn't choose many drinks; he prefers light food.
However, he remembered that Gao Yiduo liked grape-flavored juice, so Meng Yu bought a whole case.
