Cage

He shouldn't have gone out, but how could it take so long to get some money?

Mo Ling got up and went to the bedroom, only to find that the door of the toilet was ajar. Lan Yi was squatting on the tiles next to the toilet, with his back to him and lowered his head, fiddling with the pair of canvas shoes he usually wore when he went out. The glue is carefully brushed to the place where the glue is opened on the side of the canvas shoe.

It was only then that Mo Ling realized that the little finger and ring finger of the hand holding the small brush were covered with a layer of toilet paper, and there was still a little red mark on it, and it was obvious that there was a lot of glue on the back of the hand that had dried off.

Although he already felt the gaze of someone behind him, when Lan Yi turned his head and saw that Mo Ling had leaned down to get very close to him, he was still shocked, and a little glue spilled out of his hand, and Lan Yi hurriedly took the Taking the rag to wipe the tiles, he tried his best to smile at Mo Ling on his face, and whispered to Mo Ling, "It's okay...it's okay if it's dripped on the tiles, but even if it's dry, it's easy to get rid of it... .look..."

Mo Ling only felt an inexplicable irritability in his heart, grabbed the hands that had been in the wiping motion and lifted them up, "Are you stupid! Can you still wear these broken shoes after they are like this?! What's the use of glue! "

"I only have one pair of shoes..." Lan Yi weakly defended, "It's not broken, it's just glued off, just stick it on and it'll be fine..."

This is the only pair of shoes from beginning to end!

Because Mo Ling remembered that there was a big shoe cabinet at the entrance of his house, and it was full of his brand-name shoes. These shoes, just like his owner, were always hidden in a corner of the shoe cabinet obediently. Whether it was the first time Lan Yi was hugged to bed after being drunk, or the second time he was pushed onto the sofa in the dormitory, or how many times in the future, he took off this pair of shoes from his feet... The original black has turned white due to multiple washings, and the heel of one shoe has been worn out, and the toe of the shoe has also been slowly grown but has no other shoes, protruding a sharp point.

Just like this pair of shoes that are obviously one size too small, even if it is a brand new brand, no one would be willing to wear it on other people's bodies, let alone a pair of half-waste worn-out shoes.

"What about your hand? What's going on here?" Mo Ling grabbed Lan Yi's dirty little hand, pulled it to his eyes, and gently opened the toilet paper to examine carefully, "Why did you hurt?"

It turned out that Lan Yi accidentally spilled glue at the time, and he was only focused on the soiled sofa. Later, he discovered that his ring finger and little finger were accidentally glued together. This glue was specially obtained from the shoe repair uncle. Usually, the superglue on the market is even stronger, and it is really inseparable if they stick together, and Mo Ling is anxious to ask him to go out to buy ribs, so Lan Yi ran to the toilet to find Mo Ling in a hurry The blade of the old razor I used before wanted to separate the hands that were stuck together, but the super glue became hard after it dried, and I hurt my fingers with one cut. When Lan Yi gritted his teeth and finally separated the fingers, There have been many wounds on it.

In fact, this injury is not a big deal in Lan Yi's eyes. After all, I occasionally get hurt when cooking. Although these cuts look scary, because the wound is long and thin, it is not very painful, and it is also very fast. It can grow well.

After Mo Ling inspected one, he picked up the other and looked at it from front to back, and found that only after being injured all the time, did he let out a sigh of relief, took a few deep breaths, and calmed down the churning emotions. Lan Yi wanted to quietly hold his hand. He pulled it back, and was dragged back by Mo Ling.

"I'm messing with shoes, they're dirty, wait for me to wash my hands..."

Mo Ling didn't let go, avoiding the injured finger, tightly grasped Lan Yi's wrist, and pulled him back to the bedroom.

"Sit down, don't go anywhere, don't cook any meals." He pushed Lan Yi onto the bed, turned on the TV, and stuffed the remote control into his uninjured hand, "Watch TV when you're bored, and wait for me to come back. "

Before Lan Yi could speak, Mo Ling took the key and went out.

Lan Yi, who was left alone, couldn't stay idle, so he dipped the pair of shoes in the toilet, went to the restaurant, took a few bites of Mo Ling's leftover rice, and wiped the floor that wasn't covered by the carpet. Repeatedly, Mo Ling doesn't like to wear shoes, so the floor must always be kept clean. After everything is cleaned up, it's already past seven o'clock before going back to the bedroom to turn on the TV, and fiddling with the remote control of the touch screen Come.

Mo Ling came back, holding all the different solvents of all-purpose glue that could be found, the TV in the bedroom was still on, but the person inside was already asleep, still curled up in the sleeping position, the body was breathing gently With ups and downs, Mo Ling found a pillow to put Lan Yi on, stretched out his shrunken body and covered him with a blanket.

Then I went to the kitchen to dilute several different solvents with warm water, took a soft towel and tried to wipe the dried hard glue on the back of Lan Yi's hand one by one. Fortunately, the ingredients of the glue were all the same. I used all the solvents and found that they all worked well, so I used the most expensive one.Put a solvent-soaked towel on the glued area for a few minutes, and then use a toothpick to slowly pick up the gap along the gap.

During this period, Lan Yi woke up once, because he was drowsy. He looked at the gentle Mo Ling beside the bed with dizzy eyes. After Mo Ling noticed it, he comforted him and continued to sleep. He decided that Mo Ling, who was so careful and gentle with a coaxing tone, just appeared in a dream.

The scratch between two fingers is the most difficult. Mo Ling didn't know if the ingredients in the solvent would seep into the wound, so he had to be careful not to touch the wound with a towel, and he was afraid that the sharp toothpick would poke the wound. , I just stared at it carefully, the chandelier in the bedroom was too bright, and Mo Ling was afraid of shaking Lan Yi, so he only turned on a small desk lamp by the bedside, and his eyes were always focused on one point under the dim light. It didn't take long Mo Ling felt his eyes hurt, and his legs squatting beside the bed also started to go numb.

After removing all the glue and hands, Mo Ling was already sweating profusely in the air-conditioned room. He slowly stood up, moved his numb legs, walked around to the other side of the bed, and opened the bed. The blanket pulled out Lan Yi's little feet from the inside, and compared them with the palms of his hands. Lan Yi's feet were not too big. Maybe because he wore small shoes for a long time, his toes were stretched when he slept, and he had five little toes. There is powder in the white of the armor, and it was short by Lan Yixiu. When he received harassment from the outside world, Lan Yi moved in his sleep. When Mo Ling didn't pay attention, Lan Yi retracted his feet into the blanket, still dissatisfied Pouting his lips and humming twice, he turned over and continued to sleep.

Mo Ling was amused by his appearance, couldn't help reaching into the blanket and pinching his feet, which made Lan Yi hide from a certain devil's hand in his deep sleep.

Lan Yi was doing homework in the study, when he heard the door open, he thought it was Mo Ling who had just left the house and forgot to bring something, so he got up and went to the living room to check.

Mo Ling was taking off his shoes in the porch, when he saw Lan Yi coming out of the study, he called him over.

When Lan Yi approached, he was stuffed into a rectangular box. Mo Ling put on slippers and walked back to the living room on his own.

Lan Yi followed Mo Ling into the living room, lowered his head and opened the box in his arms, inside was a pair of brand new shoes,

"Put it on and see..."

Mo Ling sat on the sofa, and pulled Lan Yi to sit on the sofa,

"...Huh? No need..."

"Hurry up, let's see if it fits..."

Mo Ling sat down in front of Lan Yi again, with his arms resting on the back of the sofa behind Lan Yi, and his index finger gently stroking the slightly stretched hair on the back of Lan Yi's neck.

"Ao..." Seeing Mo Ling's accentuated tone, Lan Yi obediently put on his shoes. The sneakers are dark blue. This year's latest style, Lan Yi has seen it on TV before, and the advertisements are fierce.

"Stand up and walk around to see if your feet fit?"

Lan Yi obediently stood up and took two steps.

Only then did Mo Ling show a satisfied smile, and patted Lan Yi's shorts-wearing buttocks, "It's not bad, it's good, let's go cook, I'm going out later."

Lan Yi responded, bent down and took off the shoes, stuffed back the stuffing inside the original shoes, put them back into the shoe box as before, changed back into the slippers, and put the shoe box on the tea table in front of Mo Ling

"What are you doing?"

"...It's better to return it, such an expensive thing...and it's not worn...wait for me to buy it elsewhere."

"Who said it's expensive? It doesn't cost money." Mo Ling took the shoes out of the box and threw them at Lan Yi's feet, feeling a little suffocated in his heart. For this reason, when will this stupid rabbit treat him as his own.

"No money?" Lan Yi squatted down to pick up the shoes.

"Well, it doesn't cost money," Mo Ling repeated patiently.

"This is a famous brand, right? It's brand new...why don't you spend money?" Lan Yi lowered his head to look through it carefully, and stretched out a hand to touch the large red matching shoe logo on the side of the shoe.

"...the leftovers in the shoe factory... anyone I know doesn't cost money, just take whatever you want." Mo Ling looked seriously at Lan Yi, who was cautious, and told a lame lie. During the dinner, when passing by the shoe store, the car stopped unexpectedly, entered the store, not only bought shoes, but also rejected the dinner appointment, just to see Lan Yi walking in front of him wearing new shoes that fit his feet Two-step scenario.

"Can you just take such good shoes? Then you can take many pairs?" Unexpectedly, Lan Yi had no doubts at all, and reluctantly looked away from the shoes, looking at Mo Ling expectantly, "Unexpectedly, you can It doesn't cost money, no wonder you have so many shoes..."

Mo Ling laughed at Lan Yi's simplicity and innocence, "Yes, it doesn't cost money, so you can wear it with confidence."

"Well...thank you..." Lan Yi is very happy. After all, he is still an underage high school student. There are no adolescents who do not pay attention to appearance, and Lan Yi is no exception. Although the external conditions do not allow it, he still tries his best It's better to dress yourself clean and tidy, even if it makes others look comfortable.

Those old shoes should have been replaced a long time ago. He himself knew that if he walked a few more steps, his thumb would be sore and his little finger would be worn out with blisters, but considering the tight budget, he was reluctant to leave Out of pocket for a new pair.

Mo Ling helped him again this time, and he was still grateful, and silently gave him a favor in his heart.

Mo Ling watched Lan Yi carefully put the shoes back into the shoe box, put the shoe cover back on, and smiled at him with his mouth pursed. He felt his heart was going to go cold, and he just wanted to bring the best in the world to him. , let him use it, wear it for him, never let him be bullied by others, never let him suffer any grievances.

At this time, Mo Ling didn't know that just at night, his thoughts had changed drastically.

The cell phone rang untimely. Mo Ling took the phone, saw the caller ID on it, and immediately changed his idle expression. He pressed the answer button, and a middle-aged man's deep voice came from inside.

Mo Ling answered a few times, then hung up the phone, turned back to Lan Yi who was squatting in the hallway fiddling with new shoes, "There's no need to cook for me at noon, I'm going out now."

"...Oh...Okay...how about dinner?" Lan Yi put the shoes in the shoe cabinet, and said to Mo Ling who was putting on shoes at the entrance.

Mo Ling put on his shoes and stood up, getting very close to Lan Yi, suddenly put his mouth close to Lan Yi, and pressed her against it without knowing what to say, Lan Yi was tightly squeezed against the wall by Mo Ling's body, and was passively moved by him. Kissing, Lan Yi felt that the world in front of her eyes was dazzled by Mo Ling's tongue that forced her into her mouth. Her legs were so soft that she almost couldn't support her body, but she instinctively didn't want to leave that warm embrace. In order not to let herself slip, she had to Clinging to Mo Ling's neck, after the kiss was over, Lan Yi had long been out of breath, only to realize that she had unknowingly clung to Mo Ling's neck, and hurriedly let go, her face blushing.

Mo Ling smiled, Lan Yi's shy and proactive look was really cute, he couldn't help but kissed her cheek twice, and pressed against Lan Yi's pink ears maliciously, and said softly, "Oh...so impatient? When I get back, we're continuing..."

The hot air he exhaled rushed into Lan Yi's ears, causing his back to go numb. After Mo Ling reluctantly let go of Lan Yi in his arms, and carried the bag out of the door, Lan Yi cowardly lifted it up and down. With his head bowed in shame, he hummed softly at the empty entrance.

When Mo Ling arrived at the hotel where he had met, the person whom he had met on the phone had already arrived and was sitting on the sofa, carefully wiping the golf club in his hand.

"Uncle." Mo Ling stepped forward and called the middle-aged man, and took the cue that the man had cleaned, put it on the table next to him, and then sat down opposite the man.

The man nestled in the sofa was thin and thin, his complexion was a little pale, and there were shadows close to gray under his eyes. He looked middle-aged, but his mental state was really not good.

The man lazily raised his hand and waved it as a greeting to Mo Ling. He didn't even seem willing to use his strength to look at people directly. He called the waiter beside him to start serving the dishes without talking nonsense.

Mo Qingshuang was single all her life and had no children, so she had high expectations for Mo Ling's nephew, almost treating her as her own.

"Try the stewed venison with ginseng here, it tastes good." Mo Qingshuang raised her hand with a jade wrench to hold a piece of venison for Mo Ling, "Ahem..." Suddenly Mo Qingshuang violently Coughing, frowning uncomfortably.

Mo Ling quickly walked to Mo Qingshuang's seat, stroking his back to help him relax, "Uncle..." He opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Mo Qingshuang's wave, "It's okay, cough cough... You don't have to feel guilty about the past, and I never blame you...cough cough..." The originally pale face had a tinge of blood due to the severe cough, and Mo Qingshuang hammered her chest with her hands in pain.

Mo Ling has always admired this uncle named Mo Qingshuang. Mo Qingshuang is the illegitimate son of the old man of the Mo family. When he was young, he became a mythical figure in the city because of his intelligence and talent. The betrayal caused the business to go bankrupt, and he was imprisoned, but he gritted his teeth and insisted on not accepting any funding from the Mo family, step by step he climbed back to his current position on the back of his own flesh and blood.

Such an astonishing person almost left because of Mo Ling three years ago, and finally saved his life, but he always looked like he was dying. It is extra respect and love.

"I heard that you have kept a puppy at home?" After eating, Mo Qingshuang raised her hand to pick up the tea on the table, and blew gently.

"..." Mo Ling also put down his chopsticks, rolled his eyes, and had an idea of ​​the reason for the meeting Mo Qingshuang arranged this time.

"I know you young people are popular with this now, but it's only for fun." Mo Qingshuang put down her tea, leaned back on the sofa chair, raised her eyelids and looked straight at Mo Ling across the table.

"Uncle, I know, I'm just playing around." Mo Ling suddenly realized that these days, he had never defined Lan Yi's current identity, pet?Toy?It seemed that it was not just that, at this moment he was afraid to look directly into Mo Qingshuang's eyes.

"Xiao Mo, a man and a man are... homosexual... you know that?" Mo Qingshuang paused for a while, and smiled sadly, "Homosexuality is not normal... you are not gay .”

"Uncle, are you kidding... Of course I'm not..." Mo Ling squeezed out a stiff smile.

"Well, that's good. Uncle just reminded you that you also know about the second young master of the Ding family (Ding Yiluo). After he disclosed his sexual orientation, the Ding family almost severed ties with him. You are the only son of the Mo family. , You understand the stakes in this." Mo Qingshuang took the cigarette pouch handed over by the bodyguard behind him, lit it up, and took a puff.

"Yes, Uncle." Although Mo Ling remained calm on the surface, his heart began to churn. Mo Qingshuang's words woke him up. Thinking of those three words, Mo Ling's back broke out in a cold sweat

"Is the boy's mentality just for fun like yours?"

"..." Thinking of Lan Yi's focused eyes, Mo Ling couldn't answer.

"It's okay to play, but those cheap people are also poor and single-minded when it comes to their feelings. It's best for Xiao Mo to confirm, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble in the future..."

Afterwards, Mo Ling didn't listen at all. Even when he went to the golf course afterwards, he was in a daze. The word "homosexual" lingered on his heart, and it hurt him a lot. After all, he was still an immature young man who was scolded by the world The three words are too heavy, and I just want to protect myself instinctively.

Driving home absent-mindedly, Lan Yi was cooking in the kitchen. There were already three Mo Ling's favorite dishes on the dining table, but he didn't have any appetite to enjoy them at this moment.

"...You are back, let's eat first, this is the last dish, it will be ready soon." Seeing that Mo Ling came back, Lan Yi deliberately ran out of the kitchen, and walked over with some embarrassment, remembering what Mo Ling said before leaving, Unavoidably a little nervous and shy.

Mo Ling could see everything about Lan Yi, if he used to shyly shake the apron in front of him, Mo Ling would have moved his index finger, but now thinking of Mo Qingshuang's words, he broke out in a cold sweat .

How is it possible, how is it possible for me to be a homosexual whom I have always looked down upon, absolutely impossible!

"I have something to tell you, come here." Mo Ling pulled Lan Yi to him, looked up at Lan Yi seriously.

"What, what's the matter..." Lan Yi remembered Mo Ling's serious expression that had never appeared before.

"What do you think is the relationship between the two of us now?"

"... Huh?" Being asked suddenly, she couldn't figure it out. Thinking of the word "relationship", Lan couldn't help but lower her head, pursed her lips slightly, and blushed a little, "Why suddenly, ask, ask about our relationship? "

Seeing Lan Yi smiling and blushing, Mo Ling's heart skipped a beat, and it seemed that he really echoed Mo Qingshuang's words "Those cheap people treat their feelings poorly and single-mindedly".

"We have nothing to do with each other, do you understand?" Mo Ling grabbed Lan Yi's wrist and explained eagerly.

"..." Lan Yi hadn't fully digested Mo Ling's words, so he opened his eyes wide and looked at Mo Ling without questioning.

"I think you may have completely misunderstood." Mo Ling stared at Lan Yi's eyes, and saw that his eyes widened again, and his almost distorted face was printed in the dark eyeballs, "Both If a man is really together, he is a pervert..."

"Yes, but you always let me call you... call you old..."

"Those are just jokes, don't take it seriously." Before Lan Yiqiqi and Ai Ai could change his words, Mo Ling couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted dissatisfiedly, "This kind of thing is very common now, don't think about it..."

"Then, why are you so nice to me..." Lan Yi still looked at Mo Ling, her lips trembling slightly as she spoke.

"That's sympathy for you. After all, it was my responsibility for you to be made like that. I have never seen such a thin person, so I can't help but feel sorry for you." Mo Ling moved his eyes away from Lan Yi, looking at Lan Yi. Looking at the steaming food on the table, "I'm just curious about you doing that kind of thing."

"Then what do you mean..." Lan Yi tightly clutched the hem of the apron, and no one noticed that those white palms were already covered with sweat.

"I'm not gay, and I don't have any special feelings for you. There's nothing between us, you know? It's impossible for me to fall in love with a man, never. I was busy a while ago, so I didn't It's time to find a girlfriend." Mo Ling seemed to have already prepared a draft in his heart, and he spoke urgently and quickly.

Lan Yi seemed to understand what Mo Ling wanted to say, blinked her sour eyes, her expression was a little tragic.

"I see, then, then I'll pack up, it's too late today, I, I'm staying for one night, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll leave..."

Lan Yi turned around, ran back to the kitchen, and dumped the burnt vegetables into the trash can. The handle of the iron pan that Lan Yi was holding was already scalding hot, but Lan Yi felt no pain at all.

"Lan Yi, that's not what I mean!" Mo Ling got up and walked into the kitchen. Seeing Lan Yi squatting on the kitchen floor pouring vegetables, he didn't look back at him, "You can still stay here, and we can continue to maintain the old In this state, you won’t suffer any disadvantage if you are a boy anyway, as long as you are comfortable, I will treat you as well as before, but don’t get me wrong, and don’t fall in love with someone you shouldn’t like.”

"No, no, I'd better go, it's not convenient if you find a girlfriend here..." Lan Yi sniffed, stood up and casually grabbed the dishes in the sink and began to wash them seriously.

It's so strange, it's obviously my hands that were burned, why my heart still hurts a little, so painful, but I still pretend to be indifferent.

"It won't be inconvenient. You can clean up the room next door. If a woman really comes, you can just move in and sleep there."

Lan Yi slowly chewed these words into his heart.

So what am I?

"No, I'd better go, thank you for taking care of me during this period of time." Lan Yi's nails were stuck in the flesh of his burned palm, he gritted his teeth and tried to bury his lost emotions, even if he was deceiving himself, he didn't want to change. so humble.

Turning around, he tried his best to give Mo Ling a bright smile.

Mo Ling stopped at a step away from Lan Yi, looked at Lan Yi's smile that was like a spring breeze, there were thousands of words in his heart, but he couldn't speak them, all of this was different from what he imagined, it shouldn't be death The stalking situation, at worst, is also a scene of Lan Yi begging for mercy with tears in his eyes, but except for the boy in front of him looking at him with watery eyes and a slightly different expression at the beginning, everything is too calm, looking at Lan Yi Also with that dull gaze, Mo Ling's unwillingness to take over his heart.

"I told you to stay here and not go anywhere!" Mo Ling stepped forward and stopped Lan Yi who was about to leave the kitchen.

"It's not good...I want to go back..." Lan Yi lightly pushed Mo Ling's arm blocking his way, and resumed his usual timidity.

Lan Yi's cowardly actions made Mo Ling feel indifferent, and with a bit of resentment, he replied viciously, "Okay, you are here for a month, and you don't plan to pay back that extra month's salary?"

Lan also didn't expect Mo Ling to say that, except for the 6000 yuan he asked for from his mother, the rest of the 2000 yuan in advance had already entered the pockets of the creditors, and it was impossible to get it out. The 2000 yuan from the book was deducted from the hundreds of dollars in the book, and the rest had already been returned to Mo Ling. Now where can I get an extra 3000 yuan.

Seeing Lan Yi's troubled look, Mo Ling knew that he would definitely not be able to afford the money, so he let go of his worries a little and became more confident.

"Then live here honestly," Jian Lan didn't refute, but her eyes with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes were a little blank, and the eye sockets were also red. Mo Ling also felt a little uncomfortable, so he couldn't help slowing down his tone. "Don't worry, I won't be looking for a woman like Wu Yumeng anymore. If the woman I bring back bullies you, just tell me and I will help you out."

Lan Yi didn't look at him, nor did he refute too many words, but moved back slightly, and slowly moved away from Mo Ling's shadow, feeling that as long as he was in front of Mo Ling, he would always be so humble I can't resist, just like ants.

Not long after, Mo Ling brought back a strange woman. At that time, Lan Yi got a high fever from Mo Ling's torment the night before, and got up from the small bed next door with her dizzy head to cook for them. , the meal was finally finished, and Lan Yi didn't have any appetite at all. After saying hello, he continued to go back to the house and fell asleep.

In the evening, Mo Ling, who sent the woman away, used the excuse of "deliberately showing others' face", regardless of Lan Yi's sick body, and suppressed Lan Yi again with great interest.

From then on, Lan Yi never dared to neglect her.

That girl's name is Xu Jie, two years older than Mo Ling, and a sophomore at L University. Although Zhang is pretty, she is very forthright. When she first met Lan Yi, his thin body was exciting Knowing Xu Jie's natural maternal love, when she knew that he was staying here temporarily in name, but in fact she was a nanny hired by Mo Ling, Xu Jie did not embarrass Lan Yi too much.

For this summer vacation, she has to work part-time to earn book fees, and she always seems to be bullied by Mo Ling. Xu Jie has always had a good impression of her. After visiting, within a few days, I got to know Lan Yi well.

I always feel that this boy who has always been unknown has such a serious concern, and people can't help caring about it.

The high temperature of the summer vacation has lasted for a few days. Xu Jie lay at Mo Ling's house lifelessly, scooping up the fruit ice cream made by Lan Yi. I don't admire Lan Yi who is also in this family.

There is one in the air-conditioned living room of Mo Ling’s house, and one in Mo Ling’s room, because the room next door was never occupied before, not even a fan, but Lan Yi could stay with the door closed for a whole day a few days ago. If it is not necessary to come out to do housework or cook, he will not come out at all.

She once went to Lan Yi's room out of curiosity. As soon as she opened the door, a wave of heat hit her. The room was like a sauna room. It felt like the furniture inside was hot.

Surprised, he also mentioned it to Mo Ling, but Mo Ling didn't seem to hear the point at all. It just made Lan Yi, who was not so relaxed, even more busy. Even if the floor and table appliances were spotless, he was still picky. Let Lan Yi wipe it over and over again, so that Lan Yi doesn't even have time to go back to the room, which makes her feel like she has done something bad with good intentions. Every time she looks at the busy Lan Yi, she feels guilty and wants to Apologize in the past.

It was like this again today. There was a basket full of clothes, obviously there was a washing machine, but Mo Ling insisted that Lan Yi wash them by hand. Most of them were short-sleeved tops. Lan Yi found a bench and sat in the toilet to wash them carefully. It's not tiring, but it's time-consuming. After washing, it's already noon.

The originally weak arms carried the washed clothes basket to the balcony to dry the clothes. Perhaps because of the sudden standing up, Lan Yi, who was carrying the clothes basket, was dizzy for a while, staggered a few steps and knelt down on the ground. Instinctively grabbing the laundry basket, so the clothes didn't fall apart, his knees hit the solid wood floor heavily, making a "boom" sound, and Xu Jieguang felt his scalp numb when he heard it.

Hurrying up to help Lan Yi up, Lan Yi politely thanked her, and even wanted to limp to the balcony with the clothes basket in her arms, the straightforward Xu Jie couldn't help but stop and yell.

The voice brought out Mo Ling, who was dealing with official business in the room. He was very busy during this time. Not only did his father have to deal with the company's work, but even Mo Qingshuang also entrusted him with some of the company's affairs. Now he is completely devastated , Sitting in front of the computer, I was too busy to lift my head.

Busy with business, and in a bad mood these days, Lan Yi has become more and more silent. Those cowardly smiles and clumsy flattery are gone, and I feel like my heart is blocked by a stone, and I hate it to death Lan Yi's indifference, even if he has a girlfriend, he always feels empty in his heart, so he tries hard to embarrass Lan Yi, hoping that he will not always look at him with that lifeless face, even if he is angry or even loses his temper, it is fine, just don't Such unresponsive indifference.

"What are you doing?" Opening the door of the room, she saw Xu Jie holding Lan Yi's arm.

"Mo Ling, Lan Yi hit it..."

After Xu Jie finished speaking, she only felt a gust of wind blowing, and Mo Ling was already standing nearby, frowning and kneeling half-kneeling to check Lan Yi's knee that had started to turn red.

Lan Yi's small body, Mo Ling, knows that it's all red now, and it will turn blue after a while, "There's a black ointment in the bedside table, go and get it."

Mo Ling pulled Lan Yi to sit on the sofa, raised his head and instructed Xu Jie who was beside him, Xu Jie went to get the ointment and handed it to Mo Ling without thinking too much.

Mo Ling straightened Lan Yi's leg and placed it on his own thigh. With his index finger, he squeezed out some ointment, spread it on Lan Yi's reddened knee, and began to knead it skillfully.

Xu Jie, who was at the side, looked at the focused Mo Ling, and couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat. She thought to herself, although Mo Ling always looks superior, he is actually very gentle towards people, and he always dislikes Lan Yi. When he was still so careful, he stooped to help Lan Yi, who was half-friend and half-servant, take medicine. It seemed that he had found the right person this time.

Mo Ling raised his head and saw the shining light in Xu Jie's eyes. He withdrew his rubbing hand and coughed dryly with a straight face, "Can you stop being so stupid? If you can't move, will we all follow at noon today?" Are you hungry?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." Lan Yi bowed his head to apologize, retracted the leg that was still in Mo Ling's thigh, got up and went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"Hey...why do you always look down on him? He's been knocked down a lot, and you still let him work." Xu Jie looked at the busy figure in the kitchen, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Lan Yi.

"Shouldn't you just let him work if you come to him, so why don't you confess like an old Buddha?" Mo Ling raised his legs, picked up the magazines on the coffee table and flipped through them, "Why, are you so caring about him? "

"Oh, could it be that you're jealous? I'm so happy." Xu Jie stepped forward and hugged Mo Ling's neck, and happily kissed him twice on the cheek.

"Staying at home all day is boring, why don't you go shopping with me?" Xu Jie stood up and stared at Mo Ling with great interest.

"I'm still busy in the afternoon. I don't have time. You can go by yourself. You have a car anyway."

Mo Ling didn't take his eyes off the magazine, and raised his hand to rub Xu Jie's hair hanging on his body.

"It's no fun to go shopping alone...you can't do your boyfriend's duty..." Xu Jie complained dissatisfied.

"I'm very busy here, I'll have time later." Mo Ling looked back to the kitchen, as if looking for something.

"...Mo Ling is good or bad..." Xu Jie pouted and muttered, and followed Mo Ling's gaze, saw Lan Yi squatting in the kitchen peeling garlic, suddenly thought of something, Xu Jie lay on the sofa cushion , and shouted at Lan Yi, "Hey, Xiao Yi, shall I go shopping with my sister this afternoon?"

Lan Yi continued to peel the garlic with his hands, raised his head slightly and looked at Xu Jie in the living room with some doubts, "Me? No, no, there are housework to do."

"Go~go~ You should also buy suitable clothes," Xu Jie looked up and down Lan Yi's home clothes, and said half-jokingly: "The shorts are too short to reveal the underwear, and the top is so loose. It's a good thing you're a man, otherwise I'd think you dressed like this on purpose to seduce our family, Mo Ling."

"No, no, how could that be! I usually wear this." Hearing what Xu Jie said, Lan Yi became visibly flustered, and the movements of peeling garlic became more and more clumsy.

"That can't be worn like this all the time, and I also discovered that even if you go out to buy vegetables, you just change into school uniforms. How can anyone still wear school uniforms during summer vacation." Xu Jie jumped off the sofa, walked to the kitchen, and patted Lan Yi's shoulder, "How about my sister giving you a set of clothes, as long as you accompany me to go shopping."

"But..." Lan Yi glanced at the back of Mo Ling who was still sitting on the sofa facing them, as if wanting to seek his opinion.

Xu Jie understood Lan Yi's concerns, ran to the living room, and hugged Mo Ling's neck from behind the sofa, "Honey, lend me Xiao Yi this afternoon, it's really boring for me to go shopping alone."

Mo Ling put down the magazine in his hand, and sighed helplessly, "Is that what you want to go?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Then it's not impossible for me to go with you..."

"Really?!" Xu Jie jumped up and cheered, "My dear, you are so kind! Let's go after dinner!"

While speaking, Lan Yi had already prepared the meals and brought them out one by one.

As soon as Xu Jie smelled the aroma of the dishes, she immediately ran to the dining table and sat down. Looking at the four dishes and one soup in front of her, Xu Jie couldn't bear to leave, and praised, "Xiao Yi, you are so virtuous. Which woman would marry you?" You will be very happy."

"...Don't be kidding, no one will like me..." Lan Yi put the last bowl and chopsticks on the table, his eyes dimmed.

"How could it be? You are cute, hardworking, and good at doing housework. You are very popular among girls...It's so delicious~" Xu Jie couldn't help but praise twice from the bottom of his heart. Politely struggled with the braised pork, "Otherwise, sister will introduce you to a few girls in a few days?"

"Huh? No, no." Lan Yi quickly waved his hand, "I can't do it for a person like me..."

"That's it! By the way, I really have a lot of girls who are about the same age as you, hehe..." Xu Jie didn't seem to hear Lan Yi's words, and kept smiling while holding her chin at the dinner table. .

"Humph!"

Only then did the two realize that Mo Ling was still sitting on the sofa, snorting coldly with a bad face.

"Ha! You were so energetic that you forgot about it. Hurry up and eat, or I'll eat it up." Xu Jie waved to Mo Ling.

Mo Ling glanced at the two expressionlessly, then got up and swaggered to sit at the dining table.

After the meal, Lan Yi was dragged by Xu Jie to the S mall before finishing packing.

Lan, who just opened this year, has never been to this department store. I mentioned this huge and gorgeous shopping mall to others before, and I learned that it is full of expensive brand monopoly, and the minimum price of a single item is several thousand or even tens of thousands. Well, he couldn't accept such a price at all, so he didn't even have the desire to come here to have a look.

Mo Ling and Xu Jie, who are like golden boys and girls, attracted the attention of many passers-by. Lan Yi followed behind them disheartened. In this resplendent place, his school uniform seemed out of place.

Followed Xu Jie to a certain brand's counter, obviously Xu Jie came here often, ordered a few clothes at random, and asked the waiter to wrap them up without looking at them, Lan Yi secretly glanced at the price on the tag, the A string of numbers made him flustered.

"Does pink look better or black? It's so hard to choose..."

Xu Jie compared the two bright lace underwear on her body, her face full of tangled expressions.

"It's all good." Mo Ling leaned on the clothes hanger beside him, looked down at the phone, and dealt with it without raising his head.

"Hey~" Xu Jie stomped her feet in dissatisfaction, Mo Ling still didn't show any signs of raising her head, and could only shift her attention to Lan Yi who was behind them, "Xiao Yi, which one do you think is better?"

Lan Yi was already embarrassed when Xu Jie was buried in the underwear area, and now Xu Jie was holding that kind of thing in front of his eyes, blushing with shame, and swallowed. A few mouthfuls of saliva, but the dry throat could not make a sound.

"Does it need to be put on to see the effect?" Seeing that Lan didn't make a sound, Xu Jie tilted her head and muttered in a low voice.

As soon as he said this, Lan Yi immediately took two steps back, feeling the blood rushing up and sweating on his forehead.

"He doesn't act like this." Mo Ling finally moved his eyes away from the phone, and gave Xu Jie a slightly complaining look. "You go shopping elsewhere, we will find you later."

Hearing Mo Ling's words, Lan Yi blushed and left the underwear section that suffocated him as if he had received an amnesty.

Lan Yi was still wearing the small pair of canvas shoes, and he was still reluctant to wear the new shoes Mo Ling gave him.
