Chapter 76 Chapter 76 We have to stay together no matter what!
In the yard, several girls were taking pictures. Based on his experience of taking pictures of them last time, Ji Maili was asked to be the official photographer.
Ji Huan came out with a baked cake: "The cake is baked. Anyone want some?"
Tao Sijie, who had nothing to do, ran over and said, "I want to eat."
Tao Sijie took a small cake from the tray held by Ji Huan and asked, "Brother Mai Mai's sister, do you have any photos of Brother Mai Mai when he was a child? I want to see them."
Liang Xiaohui heard this and raised her hand: "I want to see it too."
Ji Huan said generously, "I'll get it for you."
Ji Maili had never seen his sister so willing to respond to requests, so he quickly shouted, "No!"
Ji Huan said, "What's wrong with that? At worst, I can take out the photos of you without pants."
Ji Maili ran over to stop him: "That won't work either!"
Ji Huan ignored him and was about to go back, but Ji Maili pulled her aside and asked Shen Lu for help: "Why don't you say something!"
Tao Dacheng asked in confusion: "Why did you ask him to talk when you were looking at your photo?"
Chen Lu and Lin Shifei were grilling meat. He glanced at Ji Maili and smiled, "I don't care."
Ji Maili stared, "It doesn't matter, right?" He let go of Ji Huan, "Okay, if it doesn't matter to you, then it doesn't matter to me either."
After a while, Ji Huan took out the photo album. Ji Maili checked it first to make sure she had taken out the photos of him without pants as a child before showing them.
When the girls saw the album, they stopped taking pictures and gathered around to look at the photos. The guys from the sports school also came over to join in the fun.
Amid their repeated exclamations of "Wow, so cute", Tao Dacheng and Lin Shifei couldn't help but be curious and left Chen Lu alone to continue grilling.
Ji Maili stood behind those people with his hands on his hips and looked at them and said "Wow". He knew that he was cute when he was a child, but there was no need to exaggerate like this.
In the photos before Ji Maili went to kindergarten, he was either holding a paintbrush or snacks, smiling. It was hard to tell that he would become a school bully when he grew up.
After entering kindergarten, the photos changed from single-person photos to couple photos, and there was almost a shadow of another child in every photo.
Liang Xiaohui pointed at the photo and asked, "Who is this child?"
Ji Maili was just waiting for them to ask. He curled his lips into a wicked smile. Shen Lu heard Liang Xiaohui's words and looked up to see Ji Maili's smug expression. The next second, he heard him say, "He... He's your aloof President Shen."
Everyone: “…”
Tao Dacheng looked at the photo again in disbelief. The little boy in the photo was wearing light yellow clothes and carrying a schoolbag. He was walking out of the kindergarten gate hand in hand with the little Ji Maili, their arms swaying high as they held hands.
"...Oh my god." Tao Dacheng finally understood why Ji Maili thought Shen Lu would be bullied. He had never seen clothes with such a tender color since he was a child, but when he flipped through eight photos, all of them were so delicate. He raised his head and looked at Shen Lu: "Is this really you?"
Shen Lu said “hmm”.
With a "click".
Ji Maili looked at Lin Shifei who was taking the photo with his phone: "Brother Fei, what are you doing?"
Lin Shifei looked at the photo and laughed: "Take a picture and show it to Bianyuan. You two were so cute when you were little. It's unbelievable."
Tao Dacheng watched Lin Shifei taking pictures, touched his pocket, and wanted to take out his mobile phone to take two pictures, but he was afraid of being beaten by Shen Lu, so he thought about it and gave up.
Several girls looked at the photo, then at Ji Maili, then at the photo again, and then at Chen Lu... They say girls change a lot when they grow up, and this boy is not much different from a girl when he grows up, okay!
The photos of the two of them lasted until junior high school, and then disappeared, not even Ji Maili's solo photos.
Liang Xiaohui thought of the tickets she bought at the amusement park last time and said, "Actually, there are still a few tickets left for us to re-enter." After that, she raised her head and asked Chen Lu, "Isn't that right, God of Slaughter?"
Shen Lu smiled but didn't look up: "Those pictures are private collections and are not part of the public project."
Li Jun, who knew about Ji Maili and Shen Lu's relationship, looked at the photo album of the two of them in shock, which almost filled up the entire album. He sighed, "Oh my god, you two are childhood sweethearts. It's a natural progression."
Moltke said to him, "Don't use idioms like 'it just happened naturally'? You're talking as if they were married."
Ji Maili hadn't yet planned to tell the world about his relationship with Chen Lu. Still at his house, he asked Li Jun, "Can you swim?"
Li Jun didn't know he was asking this out of the blue: "Yes, I can doggy paddle."
"That's all." Ji Maili took Li Jun to the edge of the swimming pool and kicked him in the butt.
With a splash, Li Jun fell into the swimming pool, splashing water all over the person sitting next to him looking at the photo album. Ji Maili jumped in shortly after. Mao Qi and the others had wanted to go in and play for a long time, and seeing them take the lead, they jumped in one after another like dumplings.
Liang Lin heard the noise and came out to take a look: "Why don't you change your clothes before going into the water?"
Before they came, Ji Maili told them that he had a swimming pool at home. Li Jun and the others brought clothes to change into. They originally wanted to bring swimming trunks, but when they knew there were girls there, they felt a little embarrassed to wear them.
Tao Sijie was pacing anxiously by the swimming pool: "Brother Mai Mai, I want to play in the water too."
Liang Lin called Chen Lu: "Xiao Lu, your sister Huan has an inflatable swan that can float in the water. Go get it out for the child to play with."
Shen Lu wiped his hands: "Where did you put it? It's with Sister Huan."
Liang Lin: "It should be in the cabinet in the small warehouse next to Mai Mai's room. Go look for it."
Li Jun wiped the water off his face and asked Ji Maili while floating on the edge of the pool: "Does your family know about you two?"
Ji Maili lifted the hair on the forehead of the post to the top of his head: "I don't know yet."
Li Jun looked at Chen Lu who entered the house and said, "I see he is like he is at home in your house. Your mother doesn't seem to treat him as an outsider. If your family finds out one day, aren't you afraid that they will kick him out?"
Ji Maili floated in the water and kicked his feet twice: "No, my mother really likes Shenlu."
Li Jun: "No matter how much I like you, I can't be indifferent knowing that you two are together. If you ask me, it's best to keep it a secret. Wait until you can't hide it anymore. By then, you two will have graduated and have stable jobs, so you won't end up sleeping on the street if you're kicked out."
Ji Maili had never thought about these things. He always looked ahead one step and never two steps ahead. Li Jun's words seemed to have revealed everything to him.
Ji Maili glanced at him and said, "I thought you were going to say that we might not be together in the future, so you told me not to say anything."
Li Jun: "If it were someone else, I might have said the same thing, but you two are different. You two have been friends since childhood. If you really break up, you will never see each other again. I don't think either of you would be willing to do that. Even if that day really comes, you will have to stay together no matter what."
Ji Maili loved to hear this, he just wanted to stay together no matter what!
When Chen Lu came out with the deflated swan, he saw Ji Maili and Li Jun sitting by the swimming pool, talking about something. They seemed so engrossed in the conversation that their heads were almost touching.
He handed the inflatable swan to Tao Dacheng and said, "Make it for your sister."
Tao Dacheng's hands were covered in oil: "I'm grilling skewers here!"
Liang Xiaohui: "I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Liang Xiaohui and a few girls took Tao Sijie to the side with an air pump and a swan.
Chen Lu took a small piece of cake and walked towards the swimming pool. He squatted in front of Ji Maili and put it into his mouth. Ji Maili looked confused, but still opened his mouth and took a bite.
Shen Lu: "The meat is ready, do you want to come up and eat?"
Ji Maili: "Eat!"
Ji Maili pushed himself out of the water with his hands. Chen Lu stuffed the half-eaten cake that Ji Maili had left into his mouth, picked up a bath towel from the lounge chair behind him, and wrapped the wet person up.
Although Li Jun knew about their relationship, it was the first time he saw them together. When he saw Chen Lu eating the cake that Ji Maili had eaten, he suddenly felt like he was slapped with dog food in his face. He turned around and dived into the water to wash off the dog food stuck on his face.
Chen Lu gathered the towel around Ji Maili and asked, "Go change clothes?"
Ji Maili: "Don't change it yet, I want to play later."
Bian Yuan came out of the house and looked at Ji Maili, who was dripping with water. "Why does he look like a freshly fished-out kappa?"
Ji Maili thought about what the Kappa in the cartoon looked like and said, "Brother Yuan, you really know how to talk."
Chen Lu didn't know what was going on between Ji Maili and Li Jun from the sports school. They were so incompatible before and would fight whenever they met, but now they seemed to be on good terms. When he turned around, he saw them huddled together. Did they develop feelings for each other during the fight?
Shen Lu pulled Ji Maili out of the water for the second time and dragged him back to the room to change clothes. As soon as they entered the room, they heard Ji Huan shouting, "Ji Maili, if you dare to make the floor wet, I will break your legs!"
Ji Maili was still afraid of Ji Huan. After all, this woman really dared to beat him with a rolling pin. He wrapped himself in a bath towel and jumped onto Shen Lu's back: "Run!"
Shen Lu stumbled forward: "Fuck, you've made me wet."
Ji Maili swung his legs: "Hurry up, Ji Huan is coming. If you run too slowly, I will lose my legs!"
Although Shen Lu complained that he had wet his clothes, his legs did not stop and he ran upstairs carrying Ji Maili on his back.
Seeing Shen Lu running so fast, Liang Lin hurriedly shouted, “Slow down, don’t fall.”
Ji Kai hissed, "You're almost in your third year of high school, and you're still so outrageous."
...
Upstairs, Ji Maili jumped off Shen Lu's back, closed the door and pressed him against the wall: "Tell me the truth, are you jealous?"
Shen Lu glared at him: "Who am I jealous of?"
Ji Maili: "Li Jun, why else would you come when I talk to him? You don't even know how to talk to Liang Xiaohui and the others."
Shen Lu pinched his chin, the jealousy in his eyes no longer hidden: "What do you have to talk about with him? And you have to get so close!"
Ji Maili smiled. He raised his hand and put it around Shen Lu's neck: "Really? Are you jealous? Are you jealous of him?"
Shen Lu pinched his chin hard.
Ji Maili bared his teeth in pain but didn't hide: "That's because I told him about our relationship. If I didn't say it secretly, would I shout it with a loudspeaker? And shout it to my parents?"
Shen Lu frowned: "Why did you tell him this?"
Ji Maili: "Well, no one told me, I was feeling suffocated, and I wasn't that familiar with him anyway, so I told him."
"...You don't tell people you know, but people you don't know?" Shen Lu poked his head: "Why is your brain circuit different from others?"
Ji Maili: "If you don't let me tell my family, then I'll just tell someone I don't know well."
Having said that, Shen Lu couldn't make him take it back: "He didn't say anything?"
Ji Maili came closer with a smile: "He said that we are different from others and we have to stick together no matter what!"
