Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Want to talk?
The next morning, Ji Maili received a call from Chen Lu.
Shen Lu: "Why didn't you come to school?"
Ji Maili lay on the bed and groaned, "Headache."
After drinking yesterday, Chen Lu felt a little regretful about what he said to him last night after waking up. At that time, he felt heartbroken that Ji Maili didn't understand, and now he was afraid that he would figure it out on his own.
When Shen Lu heard that he didn't come to school because he had a headache from drinking, he silently breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you can sleep for a while. I'll find you after school at noon. I have to go to class first."
Ji Maili dragged out an "oh".
Liang Lin came in with a glass of honey water and saw Ji Maili still lying there. "Does your head still hurt?"
Ji Maili sat up and asked Liang Lin, "Mom, do you always get a headache after drinking?"
Liang Lin: "Nonsense."
Ji Maili drank a sip of honey water and asked, "Why is Chen Lu still going to school? He drinks more than me."
Liang Lin said, "Otherwise, why is he good at studying and you are bad at it?"
Well, the fact that I’m a poor student is actually reflected in my drinking capacity.
Ji Maili said, "Chen Lu is coming over at noon, you can make him a cup too, this is quite delicious."
"The alcohol smell has dissipated after a morning of activities." Liang Lin took his empty cup. "I'll make some extra food for lunch. I don't know how he'll get by out here alone, and there's no one to take care of the kids."
Ji Maili boasted, "He can make dumplings and cook noodles, they're delicious."
Liang Lin brushed his hair, which had been tangled in the quilt. "Xiao Lu is the real deal. You used to refuse to eat unless there was a full banquet, but now he can win over your picky palate with just a bowl of noodles."
That's not true. When has he ever eaten so simply? But the noodles cooked by Shen Lu are delicious.
When Shen Lu arrived at noon, Ji Maili hadn't gotten up yet. When Shen Lu pushed the door open, he saw him sprawled on the bed. A "Shun Zi" came from his phone...
Shen Lu: "Isn't it a headache? Are you still playing Landlord?"
Ji Maili suddenly turned around.
Chen Lu was wearing a coat over his school uniform and no glasses, so his handsome features were directly exposed to Ji Maili. Ji Maili didn't know if it was because he was still drunk, but it was still that familiar face, but he still shuddered in his heart when he saw it.
Ji Maili quickly turned his head back and said, "Wait until I finish this game."
Ji Maili was concentrating on sensing the person behind him. Feeling that Shen Lu was sitting next to him, he subconsciously moved in.
He played a good hand badly, and even two kings and four twos couldn't save him.
Seeing that the person behind him had stopped moving, Ji Maili became curious about what he was doing. He turned around and saw Shen Lu staring at him.
Shen Lu was staring at the back of his head, which was covered with ruffled hair, in a daze. He suddenly turned around, and Shen Lu was also stunned for a moment.
Ji Maili: "Why are you staring at the back of my head?"
Shen Lu said: "If you ignore me, just leave me with the back of your head, where should I go to see it?"
Ji Maili rubbed the back of his head, sat up, and walked out of the half-finished game of Landlord.
Shen Lu glanced at his locked phone and asked, "Is it over?"
"No, I lost." Ji Maili asked him, "Do you have a headache? I'll ask my mom to make you some honey water."
Shen Lu: “No need.”
Chen Lu could sense his embarrassment and felt a little panicked, fearing that Ji Maili felt uncomfortable with him because of what he said last night.
While eating, Ji Maili kept stealing glances at Chen Lu, and Liang Lin told him several times that he was not eating well.
Ji Maili felt a little regretful. Why couldn't things continue like this forever? As long as Chen Lu didn't find a partner, they could stay together like this forever.
In the next few days, Ji Maili would occasionally steal glances at Shen Lu when Shen Lu wasn't paying attention. That night, when Shen Lu was explaining a problem to him, he looked up and saw Ji Maili staring at him.
Shen Lu sighed and took off his glasses. "Want to talk?"
Ji Maili asked blankly: "Ah? What are you talking about?"
Shen Lu: "What do you think?"
Ji Maili quickly shook his head, "No need."
Shen Lu pointed at the paper and said, "Do this question."
Ji Maili glanced at the question and said, "No."
Shen Lu: “You won’t know it just after you finish speaking. Do you have the answer on my face? You’ve been staring at me for a long time.”
Ji Maili glanced around and said nonsense: "Who, who said I was looking at you, I was looking at your glasses! Every time you put on glasses, you are like a different person. I suspect your glasses have magic power. Wearing them will make you a top student!"
Ji Maili reached out to him and asked: "Let me wear it, I can also get the first place in the exam."
Chen Lu handed him the glasses, Ji Maili put them on, and then pretended to look down at the test paper.
After looking at it for a long time, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, "You... you can't see clearly at all."
Shen Lu took the glasses off his face and said, "I wear my glasses for myopia, and you are not nearsighted, so of course you can't see clearly. Stop messing around with me and be serious."
After that, Ji Maili really didn't stare at him in a daze anymore.
Shen Lu breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for the short-lived enthusiasm and short memory he had developed since childhood.
Apart from the awkward period caused by the love letter a few days ago, Ji Maili has recently started to go to Class 1 frequently again. At first, he came to find Chen Lu, but gradually Chen Lu discovered that he was very close to a girl named Wang Yiran in their class. The two of them often sneaked around behind his back. Chen Lu also saw Ji Maili add Wang Yiran as a friend.
You know, it is very difficult to convince Ji Mailiga's friends, but he easily added the girls in their class.
Later, when he came to Shen Lu's house, he didn't listen to his lectures seriously, but just kept pressing his phone.
Chen Lu had been looking at him for almost five minutes, but Ji Maili didn't notice at all.
That night, Ji Maili cried and shouted that he left without saying goodbye in the second year of junior high school because he said he liked a girl. Chen Lu was not sure whether he had such thoughts at that time, but now seeing him getting along well with girls, he was really unhappy.
Shen Lubi threw the pen on the table and said, “What to eat? I’ll order takeout.”
Ji Maili didn't notice his bad tone, and her eyes didn't move away from the phone. "Whatever you eat, I eat whatever you eat."
Ji Maili didn't mean what he said, and was dumbfounded when the takeaway arrived...
He looked at the bright red thing in the takeaway box and asked Shen Lu, "What is this?"
Shen Lu: "Boiled fish."
Ji Maili: “…”
If he eats this, it will probably be very painful for him to go to the toilet tomorrow.
Ji Maili hesitated, "I, I want to eat noodles."
Shen Lu glanced at him, but couldn't bear it. He didn't know whether it was to attract Ji Maili's attention or for some other reason, but today he added shredded pork to the usual clear soup noodles.
Ji Maili enjoyed the noodles with added ingredients very much, but Chen Lu was a little tasteless. "You seem to be getting along well with Wang Yiran from our class recently."
Ji Maili choked, "Ah? No." Ji Maili buried his head in eating noodles and didn't want to argue.
Shen Lu: "She is pretty."
Ji Maili suddenly raised his head, with some noodles still in his mouth.
Chen Lu ate a mouthful of rice with the fish meat, and his unhurried manner seemed to be just a casual remark, but this mention confused Ji Maili.
Is this what they mean by "you can't guard against a thief in your own house even if you guard against him day and night"?
Ji Maili swallowed the noodles in his mouth with difficulty and looked at Chen Lu, "Do you think she is pretty?"
Shen Lu: "Very good."
Ji Maili was anxious, "Do you like someone like Wang Yiran?"
Shen Lu glanced at him in confusion, "Don't you like her like that?"
Ji Maili's eyes widened. "Who said that? I don't like it!"
Chen Lu glanced at the phone that Ji Maili placed beside him. Just at this moment, Ji Maili's phone rang again. It was a WeChat message from Wang Yiran.
Shen Lu snorted coldly, said nothing, and continued eating.
What are you humming?
Ji Maili picked up his phone and took a look.
-Wang Yiran: I just asked around, and there’s a girl in Class 3 who likes him very much. But don’t worry, he’s so cold, even if someone likes him, no one would dare to approach him.
Thinking of what Shen Lu had just said about Wang Yiran being pretty, Ji Maili suddenly didn't trust her words so much.
He found Wang Yiran in Liang Xiaohui's organization. The reason he found her was because she and Liang Xiaohui had an indescribable resemblance. Ji Maili was very confident in her, so he asked Wang Yiran to help him pay attention to whether Chen Lu was close to girls from other classes, or whether any girls who liked him had come to him.
Chen Lu was able to find Zhou Luyang as an undercover agent, so he followed suit and found one in Class 1, but what was the result... Did he end up shooting himself in the foot?
Chen Lu didn't expect that because of his words, Wang Yiran would lose Ji Maili's trust. She was thrown aside by Ji Maili. After that, Ji Maili went to Class 1 to keep an eye on Chen Lu during recess every day.
Chen Lu was not disgusted by his surveillance, but rather enjoyed it, just like when he was a child, he liked Ji Maili to be around him every day.
