He paused.
"If you don't mind, why don't you come over to my house and have a meal... Don't worry, there are only my brother and I at home, so it's just a matter of an extra pair of chopsticks."
Su Yinyin saw that the figure didn't turn around for a long time and thought he was going to refuse. She was about to go upstairs when she suddenly heard slow footsteps beside her.
He seemed to have figured it out. Su Yinyin glanced sideways and found that he followed her upstairs.
She took out the key from her pocket, and Lu Jingxu noticed that there was a small Hello Kitty hanging on it.
Su Yinyin's younger brother Su Xiaoxuan was sitting at the dining table at this time. He looked only five or six years old. He was playing with rice with chopsticks, and a few grains of rice were spilled on the table. When he saw Su Yinyin coming back, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, and avoided her eyes unnaturally, for fear that Su Yinyin would see what happened just now and run up to teach him a lesson.
Fortunately, Su Yinyin didn't seem to pay attention to that side. She took out a pair of slippers that no one had worn from the shoe cabinet and gave them to Lu Jingxu.
Although Su Xiaoxuan didn't know who the big brother his sister brought back was, he knew that he had seen what had just happened, and he blinked his eyes quickly, hoping that he would keep it a secret.
Lu Jingxu shifted his gaze to Su Yinyin as she walked to the kitchen. When she came out with the meal, Su Xiaoxuan quickly straightened her posture and called out flatteringly, "Sister."
"Eat." She was immune to Su Xiaoxuan's coquettishness and looked up at Lu Jingxu. "Come and eat."
Lu Jingxu walked over and put down his schoolbag. This feeling was a bit strange.
Su Xiaoxuan sat next to him, Su Yinyin opposite. He glanced at Lu Jingxu, biting his chopsticks, and tilted his head to look at Lu Jingxu: "Brother, you are so kind."
The six-year-old child, who was in the teething period, mumbled something inarticulately.
"Su Xiaoxuan, eat your meal. The afternoon class will start soon. If you eat slowly, I won't wait for you."
Su Xiaoxuan curled her lips and had to lower her head to eat: "Oh."
Lu Jingxu picked up the chopsticks and, although hesitant, picked up a piece of meat.
"It's OK." Su Yinyin held her head with her hands, expecting his reaction. She originally thought that the most she would hear from him was "OK", but unexpectedly, he nodded and said:
"tasty."
What happened next was simple. When it was time for class in the afternoon, they went out together. Since Su Yinyin had to take Su Xiaoxuan to school, the three of them parted ways.
In Su Yinyin's view, this was a matter that could not be any smaller. Even when it was mentioned many years later, she had no impression of it at all.
They didn't even know each other's names.
After that, she never saw Lu Jingxu again. Perhaps it was because he graduated from high school, or perhaps it was because Lu Jingxu went abroad. In any case, it was like a small stone accidentally dropped into the center of a wave, causing only a small ripple.
But what Su Yinyin didn’t know was yet to come.
Not long after that, Lu Jingxu met Su Xiaoxuan on the street. It was his last night at school after being admitted through independent enrollment.
Su Yinyin, who was still in the first year of high school, had to attend evening self-study classes, so Su Xiaoxuan had to go home by himself with the key every afternoon.
Lu Jingxu didn't know what he was thinking. He walked aimlessly in the community where Su Yinyin lived with his schoolbag on his back, and happened to see Su Xiaoxuan squatting at the door of the apartment building.
He was carrying a schoolbag and looked a little anxious. He hunched over and glanced left and right, not knowing what he was looking for.
Lu Jingxu hesitated for a while, but still walked forward.
Su Xiaoxuan recognized him and her eyes lit up: "You are the brother from that day! Is your sister back?"
As he spoke, he turned Lu Jingxu's body and looked back, but did not see Su Yinyin's figure, and there was some loss in his eyes.
"What's wrong?"
He scratched his head and said, "I lost my key. I clearly put it in the compartment of my schoolbag. I just played with Xiao Heihei for a while and then I lost sight of it."
"Xiao Hei Hei...?"
Su Xiaoxuan pointed to the dog next to him. It was the little black dog that Lu Jingxu had teased downstairs of Su Yinyin's house that day.
"Brother, my key must have been eaten by it. I just fed it a small sausage and the key disappeared."
Lu Jingxu thought for a moment: "Where were you playing just now?"
"That flower bed."
Lu Jingxu walked to the flower bed in the direction he pointed, bent down and looked for a while, and Su Xiaoxuan also came over to look with him.
Suddenly, he noticed a small pile of earth. He stopped and picked up a small stick to turn over the earth.
A dirty Hello Kitty was revealed, and Lu Jingxu stood up: "Found it."
Su Xiaoxuan's eyes flashed when he heard that. He jumped over and picked up the muddy Hello Kitty keychain along with the key on it.
When they turned around, they saw Xiao Heihei standing behind them, looking at them with his tail hanging down.
Maybe Xiao Heihei knew what this thing represented and wanted to hide it in an attempt to keep Su Xiaoxuan playing with him for a while longer.
Su Xiaoxuan suddenly jumped off the flower bed: "Is it you, Xiao Heihei? Why did you hide my key? If my sister finds out, she will not forgive me."
Seeing this scene, Lu Jingxu couldn't help but curl up his lips: "You are so afraid of your sister, is your sister very fierce?"
Su Xiaoxuan became interested and immediately spoke seriously and vividly, "My sister? My sister is not only fierce, but also very strong. She can easily carry a bag of rice with just a few puffs like this."
Lu Jingxu had no idea about this kind of thing, but from his description, this sister should be a very powerful person.
"By the way, brother, why don't you come to eat? My sister cooks delicious food."
Lu Jingxu patted his head and said, "There probably won't be another chance in the future."
"Why?"
"Graduated."
"Oh." Su Xiaoxuan nodded, not quite understanding.
"Since my sister's cooking is so delicious, please don't waste her food in the future."
…
After that, Su Xiaoxuan really never saw Lu Jingxu again.
Lu Jingxu never saw Su Yinyin again.
…
At the graduation ceremony, when he saw Zhao Jing passing by him, he didn't know what was going on in his mind, but he mistook her for Su Yinyin.
Now it seems that Zhao Jing must have come through the book before that. As this is a romance novel with Lu Jingxu and Su Yinyin as the protagonists, they are the only people besides the protagonist Lu Jingxu who know that he has feelings for her, so she used the prop card - transplanting flowers and trees.
The 18-year-old Lu Jingxu mistakenly believed that Zhao Jing that day was Su Yinyin, and this mistake continued for seven years.
He was suffering in this relationship—the affection and dependence gained by using prop cards were fighting with the subconscious knowledge that he didn't love this person at all.
