When Xiaobao heard the name, he was stunned.
After I realized what was happening, I actually felt a little excited and expectant.
After all, every time they went to Grandpa Li's house, they would hear the two elders mention Li Mingyang. Xiaobao had only seen this handsome little boy with delicate features in photos, and now he could finally see his real face.
Lu Jiaming hurriedly opened the door, and Li Mingyang, who was soaked and had red eyes, walked straight into the sight of the four of them.
Although he looked disheveled and pitiful, Xiaobao had to admit that even with such a shabby appearance, Li Mingyang was still very handsome, and his looks were not inferior to anyone in their family.
The little guy couldn't help but stare in amazement.
Li Mingyang saw Xiaobao the moment he opened the door. Looking at him and Lu Yuxuan standing under the same umbrella looking at him, he felt that the little boy who used to hold his hand and call him brother had grown up a lot, but he still liked him at first sight.
Just like back then.
"What's wrong with you kid?"
Lu Jiaming grabbed his arm and pulled him towards him, tilting the umbrella towards him. "Have you become stupid from studying? You didn't even bring an umbrella when it rained. You're soaked like a drowned rat. If Grandpa Li and Grandma Li saw this, they would definitely be heartbroken."
Being pulled like this, Li Mingyang's chaotic brain suddenly became clear, and he said anxiously: "Brother Jiaming, please help me"
"How can I help?" Lu Jiaming asked, "Please explain clearly."
In their impression, Li Mingyang has always been a little old-fashioned person who doesn't like to talk to people and has no expression. It is the first time since they met him that he looks so anxious and helpless like today.
Therefore, several people subconsciously held their breath and became inexplicably nervous.
"Did something happen?" Lu Jiaming's heart sank when he saw his embarrassed expression. "Grandpa Li or Grandma Li? Didn't they go to your father's place a week ago? Why did you come back so suddenly?"
Faced with his series of rapid-fire questions, Li Mingyang opened his mouth several times but didn't get a word in.
Xiao Bao gently tugged at Lu Jiaming's sleeve: "Fourth brother, don't ask so many questions at once. Brother Yangyang can't answer them all. Let him talk first."
His call of "Brother Yangyang" was so sweet that Li Mingyang couldn't help but tremble all over. It seemed as if a warm current was flowing through his whole body, making him feel extremely comfortable.
"Why are you still shivering?" Lu Jiaming asked him with a frown, "Are you cold?"
"No, I'm not cold." Li Mingyang shook his head and quickly got to the point. "I ran away secretly. I want to hide in your house for a few days."
These two sentences stunned the four people.
"Just...that's it?" Lu Yuxuan's raised tone was full of surprise.
Li Mingyang nodded seriously: "Yes"
"Nothing else?" Lu Jiayang looked at him suspiciously.
"No." Li Mingyang paused and asked hesitantly, "Did I... cause you any trouble?"
"That's no problem. We don't need a pair of dishes from you." Lu Jiaming breathed a sigh of relief. "The main thing is that the way you knocked on the door just now was too scary. We thought something big had happened, but who knew you only had this little problem."
"This matter is very urgent," Li Mingyang emphasized seriously, "I ran back at the risk of being hunted by my parents."
Somehow, it was actually a little funny to see such incredible words coming out of his young and innocent face.
"Um...Brother Yangyang," Xiaobao suddenly said softly, "Let's go inside and talk. It's raining heavily, and wet clothes sticking to the body are very uncomfortable, and it's easy to catch a cold."
Li Mingyang looked at him and blinked: "Yeah, okay"
The rainfall during the rainy season is not to be underestimated. In just a short while, the raindrops changed from pouring to crackling. Even though they were holding umbrellas, a lot of rain water inevitably splashed on their clothes.
After entering the house, Xiaobao found a new towel and gave it to Li Mingyang as if he was familiar with the place. Then he attentively poured him a cup of warm water. Then he found that his shoes were also wet, so he considerately found him a pair of slippers for him to change into.
The three brothers felt so uncomfortable watching from the side.
So jealous.
"Xiaobao, you don't have to be so busy serving him," Lu Yuxuan said quietly, "He's not without arms and legs."
"I can live without it too." Li Mingyang's eyes were still on Xiaobao, but the words had already come out of his mouth.
By the time he realized something was wrong, Lu Yuxuan's eyes had widened into copper bells.
"But Brother Yangyang is a guest," Xiaobao said innocently, "Big Brother said that we should be polite and considerate to guests."
"He's not a guest, honey." Lu Jiayang glanced at Li Mingyang, who was calmly drinking water. "When you were a kid, he came here eight times a day. He knows our house better than you do."
"Is that so..." Xiaobao sat next to Li Mingyang and shook his short legs, "Then let's just take it as comforting Brother Yangyang, he's not happy today."
Li Mingyang pursed his lips and smiled: "Thank you, Xiaobao"
Then he put down the water cup and looked at Lu Jiayang and others with an expression of nervousness that could not be concealed. His eyes were full of entanglement and hope. His hands on his thighs unconsciously grabbed his pants and clenched into fists.
"Brother Jiayang, are you willing to take me in for a while?"
"Why do you sound so pitiful?" Lu Jiayang chuckled. "Of course we can take you in, but we have to first find out why you sneaked back and tell your parents, otherwise they'll worry."
"They won't," Li Mingyang bit his lip and murmured, "They don't care about me at all."
