Chapter 987 My mom is miles ahead of her!
Ranran didn't have a puppy love, but her story still had a male protagonist.
The boy wasn't from her school; he was a boy of the same age from outside the school who had dropped out, and he was also deaf and mute.
“I met him at KFC. My classmate and I saw him wanting to buy food, but because we couldn’t communicate, the cashier was very impatient with him. He was also very anxious, so I went over to help him. It turned out he didn’t have enough money, so I gave him an extra five yuan.”
"Two weeks later, I was sitting in the classroom when I heard a noise outside the teaching building. I looked out the window and saw him rush into our school and run as fast as he could on the playground. Several security guards were chasing after him, but they couldn't catch him. He was holding up five yuan and shouting loudly as he ran. Many students were leaning out of the window and laughing at him."
“I ran down, and he happily rushed towards me, put five yuan in my hand, and was then dragged away by the security guard. He was still smiling at me as he was being dragged away.”
Bai Qingxia listened quietly without saying a word.
Bai Ran put down her pen and said with a smile, "I later found out that KFC had been looking for me ever since that day. After finding out which school I was in by looking at my school uniform, he waited outside my school for more than a week just to return the five yuan. But he didn't know that I lived at school and was driven home on weekends. He couldn't stand it anymore after waiting for two weeks, so he chose to rush into the school to return the money."
“He’s a bit simple-minded, but also very sincere. That time he went to KFC to buy food for his little sister. She’s the only hearing person in the family. Maybe I’m just naturally sympathetic to people with disabilities. Sister, I only see him as a friend, I’m not dating him,” Bai Ran explained to her sister.
Bai Qingxia looked into her sister's eyes and said, "But I think he might have fallen for you the time you helped him. People tend to remember those who are willing to lend a helping hand in awkward situations. If you only see him as a friend, it's best to make things clear to him beforehand."
Bai Ran hesitated: "But if that's really the case, won't he be very sad to hear that I've cut ties with him? Will he overthink things, or even give up on himself?"
What Ranran probably meant was inferiority. Having grown up in a less-than-ideal environment, she knew what that felt like.
Bai Qingxia tilted her head: "I believe that as long as you express yourself appropriately, he won't give up on himself so easily. He must have encountered more setbacks since childhood than you imagine."
"Okay, sister, I'll tell him."
As Bai Ran spoke, she picked up her phone and showed it to Bai Qingxia: "He uses a family photo as his profile picture, which is quite rare for a boy his age."
Bai Qingxia glanced at it and smiled, "His sister is so cute."
The profile picture is a family photo of four people: his parents, him, and his younger sister, who looks only five or six years old. She's the family's little translator, and she works the hardest, so she definitely deserves a KFC treat.
The brother and sister were both smiling so brightly.
The photos convey such a strong message, as if saying that as long as family is together and happiness is abundant, what do the little hardships in life matter?
"Remember to come out for dinner later."
"Okay, sister, I'll come out as soon as I finish my homework."
After Bai Qingxia went out, she chatted with Zhang Hui for a while. Not long after, there was a commotion outside. Xiao Li Feibiao and Bai Songzhe came in together. Bai Qingxia got up immediately and ran happily to her father like a little girl, opening her arms and hugging him.
"Daddy~"
Her voice was as sweet as ever.
"Hey, hey, you still know to come back and visit. Has your grandson arrived yet?"
Bai Songzhe is naturally happy to see his daughter getting younger and younger. It proves that his daughter is not under any pressure. For him, it would be the greatest tragedy to see a child showing maturity that is not appropriate for her age.
"No, I don't know where Lu Yuanqiu took me," Bai Qingxia replied.
But even though that's what they say, I still feel like the little guy was pulling his dad along with a very clear purpose.
...
The next day, Xiazhi Road Primary School.
Lu Yanhe and Zheng Wanjun walked to the teaching building together with their small schoolbags. As they walked on campus, Zheng Wanjun glanced at Lu Yanhe's hand and said to her, "Yanyan, my mom said that holding hands to go to school makes us look like we have a good relationship."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanhe raised her right hand and licked her palm with her tongue before asking, "Shall we hold hands again?"
Zheng Wanjun blinked, looking at Lu Yanhe's left hand with a glimmer of hope.
Lu Yanhe then raised her left hand and licked it with her tongue, then looked at her.
Zheng Wanjun smiled and replied, "Let's not hold hands anymore, let's go."
The two walked upstairs side by side. In the stairwell, they met Zhong Yuanshuo and his group who were walking towards them. Lu Yanhe stopped and raised his arms to make the "brotherhood seal" gesture. Zhong Yuanshuo and his brothers opposite him made the same gesture.
Seeing this, Zheng Wanjun silently moved away. She was afraid of this brother, Yin, because Yan Yan said that he had a curse on women and that even his mother could not be touched.
Zhong Yuanshuo: "Like a real man."
Lu Yanhe: "I won't be a woman."
There are also secret codes.
After exchanging the secret code, the two lowered their hand gestures and passed each other.
As Zheng Wanjun watched this scene, she suddenly longed to be a boy.
Upon arriving at Class 1, Grade 1, the two had just put down their schoolbags when they saw a large group of people gathered around Wang Zixuan. Lu Yanhe looked back for a moment before realizing that Wang Zixuan had secretly brought his phone to school.
"Wang Zixuan, is this your mother? She's so beautiful."
"She sings very well too."
"That's right!" Wang Zixuan said proudly, "My mom is beautiful and sings well, definitely better than someone else's mom! And she's prettier than someone else's mom too!"
He was implying something.
Lu Yanhe frowned after hearing this, stuffed his schoolbag into the desk drawer, and walked to the back of the classroom. He squeezed into the crowd, and Chen Miaomiao, who was peeking at Wang Zixuan's phone through the gaps in the crowd, looked at Lu Yanhe. This was the first time she had seen this boy so closely.
Lu Yanhe glanced at Wang Zixuan's phone screen, which was playing a video. It looked like a performance on a stage. The singer was indeed very good, but as for his appearance...
"Tch, not as pretty as my mom." Lu Yanhe turned and left.
"What are you saying! You sissy!" Wang Zixuan shouted.
"You fatso!" Lu Yanhe turned around.
"Sissy!"
"You fatso!"
...
After school in the evening, Wang Zixuan, along with a few male classmates he had made friends with, secretly followed Lu Yanhe. He chuckled and whispered to the people next to him, "Didn't Li Ke say that Lu Yanhe's mother always picks him up from school?"
A boy next to him responded, "Yes, Li Ke said his mother isn't as pretty as your mother, nor as young."
"Let's go take a look. Isn't he a big braggart? Let's see if his mother is Xi Shi (a legendary beauty)."
"Xi Shi is not fun."
"I don't play that game either; I only play Wang Zhaojun."
Upon arriving at the school gate, Wang Zixuan and his friends hid behind the gate. They saw a woman smiling and waving at Lu Yanhe. Lu Yanhe quickly ran over, got on the back of the woman's electric scooter, and drove away.
"That's it? This is the mom he said was prettier than my mom? She looks like she's in her late thirties, almost forty! My mom is miles ahead of her!" Wang Zixuan shouted.
A little boy next to him picked his nose and said, "My mom is almost forty, but I'm not as good at bragging as Lu Yanhe. I'm more honest than him."
Wang Zixuan snorted: "I thought his family was rich. He's riding an electric scooter too. My family has two cars."
"I have one, but it's huge."
“I have one at home, and I can drive it.”
"I don't believe you, you're just bragging."
Chen Miaomiao walked past with her old pink backpack on her back, and secretly glanced at the boys hiding behind the gate. Wang Zixuan made a face at her: "What are you looking at! You dirty girl!"
Chen Miaomiao walked away with her head down, but couldn't help glancing at the figure on the electric scooter as she crossed the road.
"Grandma, what are we having for dinner tonight?" Lu Yanhe put her arm around Zhang Ru's waist and swung her legs leisurely.
Zhang Ru turned around and said, "Grandma will make whatever you want to eat."
