Lu Yibei glanced at Xia Li.
And her style of dressing, which makes her look like a rice dumpling.
He suddenly smiled and said, "Is it that cold?"
Xia Li shook her head: "It's okay, but we should still dress warmly, since it's winter."
Lu Yibei thought for a moment:
“I remember you caught a cold from being exposed to cold air before, and your fever was quite high.”
Xia Li tried to recall: "...When? Was that ever the case?"
“Remember me, Xia Tudou. I was the one who took a taxi to get you out of the hospital… How could you forget that?” Lu Yibei said.
Xia Li tried to recall, but she couldn't remember having such an experience.
"Is that so?"
Xia Li shrugged, not caring. Since Brother Bei said so, she'd just pretend it had happened: "Also, don't call me 'Potato'!!"
Seeing her grinding her teeth, Lu Yibei smiled gently.
Lu Yibei's smile eased Xia Li's anger. The little girl thought carefully for a moment, then said:
"But I remember one winter was really cold. We secretly ran out to the supermarket to buy hand warmers, but in the end we didn't buy hand warmers. Instead, we bought oden."
"Oh, that time."
Lu Yibei also remembered: "That time you ate all the skewers and only left the soup for us, right?"
"...? Rewriting history! You clearly ate the most!!"
Xia Li pointed forcefully at Lu Yibei, and because she was too short, her finger pointed upwards at the tip of Lu Yibei's nose.
Lu Yibei narrowed his eyes and stroked his chin:
"Is that so?"
I ate seaweed—
"You're so petty, Xia Tudou. You remember such a trivial matter so clearly."
Lu Yibei said, then chuckled softly, "You were very happy back then, weren't you?"
Xia Li paused for a moment, then smiled sincerely:
"Of course!"
Lu Yibei then asked, "And now?"
Xia Li didn't understand: "What do you mean, 'now'?"
Lu Yibei laughed and said, "I have a girlfriend now. Even though we're still in the same school, I can't hang out with you. And it's been a long, long time since I've contacted Atao and Dadong either... Are you happy now?"
Xia Li stood with her hands on her hips, tilted her head, still somewhat confused, but still answered the question:
"I'm happy too. Why are you asking this?"
Lu Yibei did not answer. He crossed his arms and looked down at Xia Li with an approving and clear gaze.
Xia Li was a little annoyed: "I'm not a child, how could I not find other friends just because I don't play with you guys..."
Lu Yibei nodded in agreement:
"That's good."
Although she didn't understand, Xia Li felt that Bei Ge's question today was a bit strange: "...Why are you asking this?"
"without."
Lu Yibei shook his head: "I have to say, Xia Tudou has also reached a new stage in his life."
"This is a new stage of farting—it's been there for ages!"
Xia Li stuck out her tongue and said, "Speaking of which, why did you choose the student council room...?"
"I've never been here before, and I'm a little curious about what it's like," Lu Yibei said calmly.
"...It's nothing special, if you want to come, go find Fox..."
Hearing this name, Xia Li felt inexplicably guilty, so she changed her words: "Find Xiao Fu, he'll be ecstatic if you get into the student council."
Lu Yibei didn't answer; he simply gazed at Xia Li and then asked:
"Xia Tudou, do you know why I'm telling you about when you were sick in junior high?"
“…”
Xia Li shook her little head.
Lu Yibei's smile was extremely gentle... so gentle that it made his features appear somewhat deep-set. He spoke softly:
"I just wanted to tell you..."
"…Um."
You still owe me my taxi fare.
"!!" Xia Li: "...Get out! You made it up!"
Lu Yibei: "Hahahahahaha."
Xia Li pointed back and said, "Then hurry up and go upstairs, I have something I want to tell you."
"Waiting for takeout, I bought milk tea."
Lu Yibei seemed a little dejected. He said casually, "The delivery guy was too slow... You go up first, I'll bring it up for you in a bit... Oh, by the way, remember to turn on the air conditioning first, I get cold easily."
Upon hearing this, Xia Li chuckled, "Is there any for me?"
Lu Yibei rolled his eyes:
Do I look like the kind of person who only eats the skewers and leaves you only the soup?
"--Okay, I'll go turn on the air conditioner first!!"
Xia Li jumped up with a "Yo!" and then quickly ran to the stairwell.
His stance is reminiscent of the "ninja run" from Naruto, no wonder he always falls down.
Lu Yibei chuckled and called out again, "Summer Potato!"
"--ah?"
"Do I look good in my scarf?"
Xia Li glanced back and answered loudly, "Beautiful!"
“My girlfriend made it for me by hand! Aren’t you envious?” Lu Yibei asked with a smile.
Xia Li thought to herself, "What's there to be envious of? I have one too!"
It wasn't a scarf, but a cake.
But the words stuck in his throat.
Since it was this guy who introduced the fox to his home.
He should know... he should know, right?
Did the fox inquire about his family's shop from Brother Bei under some other pretext, or did he simply tell him that he wanted to give it to him?
Ugh, I have a bit of a headache.
If Xia Li didn't know it was a gift for her, how would she start the conversation with him?
In fact, Xia Li called Lu Yibei out not only to reprimand him for sending the fox to his shop without informing him, but also because she wanted to talk about... her experience, which was about Li Si.
"So annoying!" Xia Li muttered under her breath.
If I get straight to the point, won't Brother Bei laugh at me? ...He definitely will! Just like that!
