Qingting loves reading picture books, the kind with single pictures and text. She said that they were her parents' collection when they were children. They were passed down to her and can be regarded as antiques in a few years.
Sometimes, Wei Lai would lean over to take a look when she was reading. Compared to picture books with only a single picture and text, he preferred comic books, which were more enjoyable to read.
However, picture books are thinner or smaller. You can take them to school and take them out when you want to read them. When you don’t want to read them, you can put them in a drawer or pocket, which makes them more concealed. Comic books are not that convenient.
The comic books he liked were thicker or larger than textbooks, and they looked rather conspicuous in a drawer, which made him always worry about being discovered. Hiding them in pockets was even more impossible.
So he usually only watches it for a while when he gets home from school.
After physical education get out of class, Qingting took the dandelion in her hand and put it in her picture book as soon as she returned to the classroom.
"Do you want to press it into a specimen?" Wei Lai sat down in the seat next to Qingting. In the art class last semester, the art teacher taught them how to make leaf specimens that could be used as bookmarks.
"No, I plan to take it back and plant it." After putting the dandelions away, Qingting patted her picture book, her eyes full of anticipation.
"What's the point of growing dandelions? It's better to grow peanuts. At least they're edible."
Wei Lai muttered to himself, took out the Chinese textbook from the drawer, and prepared for the next Chinese class.
"Tell me, if I plant it today, when will it sprout?"
"have no idea."
"Then wait until it sprouts, and I'll tell you."
Why could a tiny dandelion make Qingting so excited? Wei Lai couldn't figure it out until class started.
…
The weather is getting colder, and students in school are gradually changing into long sleeves.
The cooler weather not only heralds the official arrival of autumn, but also means that a festival is approaching.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is more than half a month later.
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different from previous years. After it is the National Day holiday, the school gave an extra half day off and let everyone go home at noon on this day.
One afternoon after returning home, Wei Lai was bored and reading a comic book on his bed in his room. Suddenly, a scene appeared in his mind: in a minute, he would be called away by Qingting downstairs.
When Wei Lai was reading an interesting part of the comic book, he turned over in bed and sped up his reading. After finishing the exciting part, he folded the page footer and climbed out of bed.
As I left the room and walked to the phone, it rang.
"Hey, Xiaoting, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Huh? How do you know it was me who called you?"
“Because of caller ID.”
"You've memorized my home phone number. Haven't you been waiting by the phone for me to call you?"
“…”
From a certain perspective, I knew she would call, so I stood by the phone waiting, but I didn't wait forever!
"If you want to play with me, why don't you come to my house?"
"I'm not going. You're trying to tease me again."
"Okay, I won't tease you this time, I promise. Didn't we agree last time that you would come over and watch the dandelions sprout?"
You clearly just said you would tell me, but you didn't ask me to go over.
Wei Lai muttered to himself and turned to look at his home again.
Xu Xiang and Wei Zikang had not yet finished get off work, and the house was quiet. Only the afternoon sun fell on the ground through the window, occasionally accompanied by the rustling sound of leaves outside being disturbed by the wind.
"If you don't come to my house, I can go to yours. Last time we played flying chess..."
"I see. I'll go to your house."
He was bored at home. Last time Qingting came to his house, she took away his Pikachu. He didn't know what she would take away this time. Wei Lai didn't dare to let her come to his house again.
After agreeing with Qingting that he would arrive at her house within fifteen minutes, Wei Lai took the key, changed his shoes and left home.
It was Mid-Autumn Festival. Walking on the street in front of Wei Lai's house, a few fallen leaves were blown by the wind from time to time and passed by his feet.
Wei Lai was bored and walked along the way. The adults were still at work and there were not many people on the road. Occasionally, a few runaway puppies or kittens would pass by.
Autumn is the time when fruits ripen. Along the way, Wei Lai also saw a white kitten chewing something in the grass. It seemed like it was eating grass, or it seemed like it was eating berries produced by the grass.
Wei Lai just stared at it for a while. The white cat noticed him, looked back, and then jumped up and disappeared.
Wei Lai didn't care and turned around to continue walking towards Qingting's house. Before he took a step, he paused and looked in the direction of the white cat again.
A scene suddenly appeared in his mind: the white cat went to an old lady to ask for food a minute later.
This had never happened before, and it made Wei Lai feel very strange.
Is this another use of the ability that he doesn't know about?
Thinking about what had just happened, Wei Lai came to the front door of Qingting's house.
Let’s talk about it later.
Having arrived at Qingting's house, Wei Lai didn't think too much about it and pressed the doorbell.
“Here I come!”
The sound of Qingting hurriedly coming down the stairs came from inside the house.
As soon as the door was opened, Qingting was still wearing the white shirt embroidered with pink flowers and the blue pleated skirt she had worn that morning, but the white stockings on her legs were gone, and her bare legs were exposed in front of Wei Lai.
Wei Lai felt like he was about to have obsessive-compulsive disorder. He had already put on a long-sleeved shirt without socks. Aren’t his legs really cold in this weather?
