Chapter 209 promise you a future(1/2)
Shi Xiaolu stood timidly in the corner with her schoolbag on her back, without getting Lin Fang's answer. She quietly looked at Lin Fang, then quickly lowered her head and twisted her fingers uneasy.
"The last time I sent you back, the street lights here broke. I was worried that there were bad people, so I came over to see if the street lights were repaired."
Lin Fang took a step forward, rubbed Shi Xiaolu's head, and asked again: "It's so late, why are you still outside?"
Shi Xiaolu kicked the stone under the kick and whispered: "When I was over school, I saw my mother quarrel with Uncle Cao. I waited for a long time and before they finished the argument, I came out to have some breath."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"Eat...eat..."
Gulu!
As soon as Shi Xiaolu finished speaking, her stomach made a roar. She turned red with her little face, covered her stomach and whispered: "I'm really not hungry, just... my stomach is digesting, so she makes this sound!"
Lin Fang rubbed Shi Xiaolu's head again, smiled, and did not expose her, and said, "I'm hungry and want to go for some midnight snack. Can you accompany me to have some food, okay?"
"But it's too late..."
Shi Xiaolu was a little moved. She took out her cell phone and looked at the time. She was worried that she would be scolded too late to go home, so she refused and said, "It's better not to, I... it's time for me to go home..."
Lin Fang clicked on the app, looked at the closest good-rated takeaway, and said, "There is a braised pork roll nearby. You can buy it with me. Let's eat it while walking, which won't be too much time."
"Then...well..."
Shi Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief and followed Lin Fang with her head down.
The braised pork rolls sells a small shop with only half of the storefront and a window opens to the street. It’s late and there are no normal customers. There are still two takeaway guys waiting for the meal.
When Lin Fang and Shi Xiaolu walked over, the two takeout guys just took the takeout and took it away.
"Is there any information?"
Lin Fang glanced at the price list and asked casually.
"There are only three types of beef, chicken legs, and there are some braised eggs, and the others are sold out."
"You need all three types. Look at how many more, just pack them all for me, and also wrap the braised eggs."
The boss glanced at Lin Fang and said, "You can do six or seven more, are you sure you want them all?"
"Confirm, do it."
"Okay! There are ninety-four in total! I will collect you ninety, or scan the code?"
"I'll sweep you."
Lin Fang took out his cell phone and scanned the QR code.
When the boss heard the voice broadcast of payment, he started making it with confidence.
After making two, he put them aside and was about to make the third one, Lin Fang waved to him and said, "Boss, give it to me first, I will eat it, and you will make it."
Although the boss found it strange, he didn't think much about it and handed Lin Fang the two braised pork rolls.
"Hold it and eat together."
"Thank you brother..."
Shi Xiaolu took the braised pork roll and was not in a hurry to eat it. She secretly looked up and saw Lin Fang tearing open the wrapping paper and it was already moving. Then she tear open the packaging and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Lin Fang only took a few bites, then stopped and watched Shi Xiaolu eat quietly.
It can be seen that she was indeed very hungry. A large braised pork roll was enough to fill an adult. She ate almost in a few strokes.
Lin Fang smiled slightly, and wanted to rub her little head, but he held it back.
He couldn't bear to disturb Shi Xiaolu's food. This was a timid and sensitive girl. He didn't want her to feel that she was pitying her.
Looking back, seeing that the boss had prepared two more, Lin Fang put his fingers beside his mouth and shrewd him gently, asking him to hand the prepared braised pork rolls to himself without making any noise.
Seeing Shi Xiaolu finishing the braised pork roll and still licking her fingers with unsatisfactory desire, Lin Fang handed over again and said, "Please take it and eat with me."
"Brother... are you not enough?"
"No, I'm not used to eating alone and I can eat more if I have someone to accompany me."
"Thank you brother..."
Shi Xiaolu didn't ask much. The hunger in her stomach made her thinking ability much lower than usual. She took the braised pork roll, tore open the packaging, and began to swallow in big mouthfuls.
After the boss finished all seven braised pork rolls, Shi Xiaolu just finished the third one, and Lin Fang handed her the fourth one.
"Let's go, let's eat as we go, I'll buy two bottles of water in front. What do you want to drink? Juice, Coke, lemon tea, mineral water?"
"I'm not thirsty... hiccup..."
Shi Xiaolu said she was not thirsty, but she accidentally burped. It was not because she was overeating, but because she was eating too quickly and quickly. She swallowed too much air and couldn't help but burp.
"Then let's have mineral water. You're still a child, so it's not good to drink too much."
"I'm not young anymore!"
Shi Xiaolu protested in a low voice, but Lin Fang pretended not to hear it. He walked to the supermarket, took two bottles of mineral water, and after checking out, he unscrewed a bottle and handed it over.
"elder brother……"
After taking the mineral water handed over by Lin Fang, Shi Xiaolu lowered her head very low, her eyes were red, and she held back her tears.
"Why should I be so nice to me... hiccup..."
Originally, Shi Xiaolu was quite sentimental, but she just hiccupped her, and the atmosphere was destroyed. She covered her mouth shyly, neither crying nor shy.
Lin Fang rubbed Shi Xiaolu's little head and chuckled, "Drink some water and I'll tell you. Drink it in small sips and swallow it bit by bit. It's useful for hiccups. Get it better soon, otherwise I'll scare you."
Shi Xiaolu silently drank two sips of water and followed the method Lin Fang said, but she didn't expect the effect to be very good. After a while, she really stopped hiccups.
Lin Fang saw Shi Xiaolu drinking water obediently, holding the fourth braised pork roll, and did not eat it anymore. Instead, he raised his head and looked at him bravely, knowing that she was waiting for her answer.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you need a reason to be nice to someone?"
"need!"
Shi Xiaolu nodded seriously and said, "There are two stray little cats near our house. I really want to raise them, but my mother doesn't let them. Every time I dare to look from a distance, not to get close. They make a living by purging the garbage, live a strong and happy life."
Lin Fang didn't know why Shi Xiaolu suddenly mentioned the kitten, but just looked at her quietly and waited for her to finish.
"One day, when I went to see the two kittens, a neighbor found them on the way to work. One of them was a little cute, so he fed it a little bread. The other kitten also wanted to eat bread, but he would drive them aside.
For a period of time in the future, he would feed the kitten at the same time.
The kitten slowly began to accept him and like him. Every time he was about to come, the kitten would wait by the side early. The other kitten was driven away and could only continue to rush over the garbage and eat.
Suddenly one day, when he was going to work, the kitten ran to him again, wanting to ask for food, and wanted him to touch him a few times, but that time, he did not feed the cat and kicked the kitten aside.
After that, the kitten looked for him several times, and was kicked away by disgust. Later, the kitten stopped looking for him and lay next to the garbage dump, not eating or calling. The other kitten turned to eat it and it didn't eat it.
I used change to buy the bread it like to eat the most, but it didn't eat it. I went to find a neighbor and wanted him to take the cat back to raise it, but he scolded him.
When I passed by the next day, I didn’t see the kitten anymore, I just saw the cat that kept rummaging over the garbage…”
Shi Xiaolu finished this story that seemed to be a personal experience, looked straight at Lin Fang, and said, "I don't want to be the cat that was fed by a neighbor and abandoned. If it hasn't been fed, it won't feel pitiful, it will feel happy to turn over the garbage. If it has been fed, it will try to accept the goodness of others, but is ruthlessly abandoned, it will feel pitiful."
In an instant, Lin Fang felt that the softest part in his heart was hit hard.
The child who has never been cared for before is like a weed. She can grow hard, strive to pursue rain and dew, and pursue sunshine. No matter how difficult or humble she lives, she will never feel pitiful.
If you have never owned it, you won’t be afraid of losing it.
Once you know the feeling of being cared for, if you are abandoned again, you will feel that your sky has collapsed and you are the most pitiful person in the world.
Lin Fang squatted down, hugged Shi Xiaolu and hugged her in his arms. Only then did he realize that the child was shockingly thin, and he felt that he could lift her up at will.
"I will not abandon you."
"Will you marry me when I grow up?"
Lin Fang: "..."
He let go of Shi Xiaolu and found that Shi Xiaolu looked at him with a very serious look, not as if she was joking at all.
"How old are you? How could you think of asking this question?"
"Because I want to get married early, and I will get married when I am old enough, so that I can leave that home, and someone can love it."
Lin Fang coughed lightly and said, "I'm not a good person. I have a lot of ex-girlfriends. It's very pitiful to marry me. I have to worry about being green every day and feeling like a prairie above my head. You won't want it."
"I don't mind, as long as you remember to go home."
Lin Fang felt a headache. He had no idea that girls nowadays are so precocious and a little bit older, so they began to think about getting married, and they were so "generous".
Luo Zhanglang, who had not traveled through time, was psychologically similar to Shi Xiaolu now. Luo Zhanglang grew up in a single-parent family and never fell in love when he was in college. Later, he started working and met a girl.
That was his first time in love. For the sake of that girl, he worked hard and worked hard to earn money to spend it for her.
In life, he took care of her meticulously, and she felt a little uncomfortable. No matter when she called him, even if she left early or asked for leave, Luo Zhanglang would have to go and take care of her as soon as possible.
But later, the girl chose to break up with Luo Zhanglang.
It was just because of a trivial quarrel that a relationship came to an end.
Later, Luo Zhanglang became decadent for a long time.
Every time the girl is unhappy or breaks up with her new boyfriend, she will call Luo Zhanglang. No matter how late she is, he will appear in front of her as soon as possible to make her happy.
