he can fly

58.

Ruka continued: "She has a big birdhouse where all the birds that don't know where to go can go."

So, they set off.

-

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when Yan Tang and Ai Bao left the bookstore.

Ai Bao liked this new black friend very much. When he was choosing books, he chatted with the dark Li Ming for a while.

Although most of the time, the conversation between him and Li Ming was nonsense.

But Ai Bao really likes to communicate with Li Ming.

"Is this a bird?" Ai Bao asked Li Ming holding a picture book.

Li Ming looked at the book and scratched his head.

"I don't know, but it must be a big bird!" he said.

Ai Bao tilted his head and asked him, "Why is this bird a big bird?"

On this page in the picture book, there is only a brown bird flying alone in the blue sky. There is no cloud in the sky, and there is no other reference object. Ai Bao can't see how big this bird is.

Li Ming thought for a while, "I think it looks pretty similar!"

Ai Bao was persuaded by Li Ming.

"It seems to be very similar!" He held the book and looked at it from left to right.

Yan Tang, who has been silent all this time, glanced at the picture book in Ai Bao's hand.

In the lower left corner of the page, he saw two small words "airplane".

Yan Tang: ...

But Li Ming and Ai Bao discussed something like that.

Li Ming said, this may be a wild goose!

Ai Bao asked, what is a wild goose?Do you mean big bird bird?

Li Ming actually didn't know too well, his big and bright eyes rolled around, as if he was recalling something.

"My father said, it's the kind of big bird that eats millet, maybe it's fluttering," he said, "This bird likes to go to the south in winter and the north in summer!"

Ai Bao wowed, "Then it must like traveling very much!"

Li Ming shook his head, "That's not necessarily true."

He said, "Maybe it doesn't really want to run around, but there is no grain in the north in winter, so it can only run."

When Li Ming said this, his dark face showed a helpless expression that didn't match his age.

Aibao didn't quite understand.

He blinked and looked at Yan Tang, as if he wanted to ask Yan Tang why there was no millet in winter?Why did the bird leave without millet?

Yan Tang received Ai Bao's sight.

He looked lightly at Li Ming who was silent in front of him.

Yan Tang touched Ai Bao's little head, took a picture book from the side and put it in Ai Bao's arms, and changed the topic, "How about this book? It looks good."

In fact, Yan Tang didn't even glance at the book, and didn't even know what it was.

However, Aibao is still very face-saving, and he is very supportive.

He was attracted by the new book in his hand, no longer entangled with the question just now, he opened the book and read it with Li Ming.

There is a short desk in front of Ai Bao and Li Ming. The books are spread out on it, and they can see clearly without Ai Bao squatting or Li Ming standing on tiptoe.

Ai Bao, who is 17, and Li Ming, who is five or six years old, are actually quite different in terms of literacy.

The two of them read a few lines of the picture book together, both stumbled.

In the first few pages, Ai Bao still came to ask Yan Tang what the word was and what it meant, but in the next few pages, both he and Li Ming gave up.

"Hey! Stop reading," Ai Bao suggested, "Let's read pictures!"

Li Ming nodded in agreement.

So they began to look at the pictures happily again.

Although the things Li Ming and Ai Bao talked about were unreliable, illogical, and sometimes not in line with common sense, but Yan Tang saw that the two of them were chatting happily and did not interfere.

He was alone by the side, looking at the book in his hand that had some fate with him, while listening to Aibao's Li Ming's chat.

After Yan Tang settled the bill, he tried to invite Li Ming to his house as a guest.

He took out his mobile phone to Li Ming, and asked Li Ming to call his family. Their family lived nearby, just nearby.When it was late, he could send Li Ming home.

Ai Bao also nodded his head and looked at Li Ming with bright eyes. He also hoped that the dark Li Ming could come to visit.

But Li Ming hesitated.

He didn't speak, and he didn't take the mobile phone Yan Tang handed over for a long time.

He looked at the two tall brothers in front of him and scratched his face, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that Li Ming kept silent and was lying comfortably on the rocking chair, the owner of the bookstore opened his slit-like eyes, "This kid will have something to do in the afternoon!"

The owner of the bookstore is a lazy old man with a bulging beer belly, shaking and rocking in his rocking chair, like a leisurely swinging ball.

Li Ming hurriedly nodded his head, and replied, "Yes, brothers, I have other things to do this afternoon, so I can't come!"

Yan Tang took back the phone, he nodded, not showing it on the face, but he knew what was going on in his heart.

It should be the last time he had a picnic with Aibao and met Li Ming, what he did.

Yan Tang thought for a moment, then opened his wallet, took out a 50 yuan note and handed it to Li Ming, "Please stay with us all the time, this is a little tip."

There were a few [-] denomination banknotes in Yan Tang's wallet, but after thinking about it, he still didn't take them out.

Maybe Li Ming would be more acceptable to change it to one with a smaller denomination.

Li Ming waved his hands, "I don't need it! I don't need it! How can this work?"

Yan Tang reasoned with him very calmly, "You are working now, and we ask you to help us during working hours, which is an extra burden on you. Moreover, both Ai Bao and I feel that your The help was helpful and saved us a lot of time, a tip you deserve."

When Yan Tang said this, he gently squeezed Ai Bao's little hand.

Ai Bao first glanced at Yan Tang inexplicably, and waited for Yan Tang to say the last sentence, and then he whispered.

He looked at Li Ming and nodded his head in cooperation.

"Yes, yes!" said Abbott.

Li Ming didn't take this kind of thing, he was a child with a bad mouth, and he couldn't think of a reason to refute.

But Li Ming also knew that this was Yan Tang's kindness.

But it was really wrong to take money this time after taking bread from someone last time. Li Ming didn't want to accept it anyway.

He hid behind the cash register, showing a gesture of refusal.

Yan Tang took the money and wanted to put it on the cash register table.

Maybe the child is embarrassed to take it?When he and Ai Bao left, even if Li Ming wanted to refuse, he could only accept it.

And just as Yan Tang walked towards the cashier, the bookstore owner seemed to sense what he meant.

The small eyes of the bookstore owner narrowed again, he raised his head and took a look at Yan Tang.

"Why do you want to thank for the tip?" He picked up his small teacup and took a sip comfortably. "That's what foreigners do, we don't like it!"

"Mr., if you really feel grateful, buy a book for Xiao Ming!" The bookstore owner said with a smile, stroking Li Ming's head, "Xiao Ming will go to school next year, so read more books." OK."

Li Ming was still reluctant, he stared at the bookstore owner and wanted to say something.

The bookstore owner patted him, "What do you want to say? Isn't this also taking care of your cousin and my business?"

Now Li Ming stopped talking.

His dark face was flushed with embarrassment.

Yan Tang also thought it was feasible.

"Then what book does Li Ming want to buy?" Yan Tang asked.

The owner of the bookstore jumped in front of Li Ming and replied, "Just take the "Xinhua Dictionary"! This kid comes to the store every day to read and memorize a few words."

Li Ming quickly waved his hands.

He was so excited that while waving his hands, he was still shaking his head like black waves.

"No, I don't need this book!" He said hastily.

Li Ming knew how expensive "Xinhua Dictionary" was.He saved up the money he had left for a month, and after two or three months, he was still barely there.

Yan Tang didn't ask him this time, which book is better?

As if he didn't hear Li Ming's refusal, he settled the bill directly.

The owner of the bookstore was also nimble, and he collected the money with just a swipe of the floor. Before the dark Li Ming could conceive of the next thing, he had already made up for it.

Yan Tang took Ai Bao by the hand, and said goodbye to the blushing Li Ming.

Li Ming was still in a daze, he hadn't realized what happened yet.

Yan Tang said goodbye to him, hoping to meet again next time, but he still hasn't recovered.

When Yan Tang and Ai Bao got to the side of the car, Li Ming chased after him out of breath.

"Brother, brothers!" Li Ming calmed down his anger.

He raised his black face and said to Yan Tang and Ai Bao seriously, "Thank you guys!"

Ai Bao blinked, he didn't know why Li Ming wanted to thank them.

He looked at Yan Tang beside him.

Yan Tang didn't acknowledge Li Ming's thanks, he just said lightly, "You deserve it."

Li Ming shook his head fiercely, "No! It's because of the kindness of the girls that I gave it to me, and I know it all!"

His bright eyes are full of a kind of clear transparency.

It is like a lake that is not polluted at all in a deserted mountain.

Yan Tang watched him, and actually felt that Li Ming's eyes were somewhat similar to Ai Bao's.

Probably all feel very clean.

Yan Tang looked at Ai Bao subconsciously.

Ai Bao also looked at Yan Tang.

He blinked at Yan Tang, his round almond eyes blinked.

Li Ming turned his head to look at Ai Bao, then at Yan Tang, he repeated his thanks solemnly, "Thank you guys!"

Yan Tang stared at Li Ming, but he still didn't respond to Li Ming's thanks, because he still insisted that Li Ming deserved it, "Come on."

he encouraged.

Ai Bao also said, "Come on!"

He followed Yan Tang and nodded in a serious manner.

Li Ming laughed, his big white teeth and dark face were dazzlingly white.

"I will!" he said.

Ai Bao sat in the passenger seat, and when he drove, he still turned his little head and looked behind.

He was looking at Li Ming who was getting smaller and smaller behind his and Yan Tang's car.

It wasn't until Li Ming completely turned into a small black spot in Ai Bao's sight that he couldn't see him anymore, Ai Bao turned his head back.

"Baby, are you reluctant to part with your new friend?" Yan Tang saw that Ai Bao turned his head and asked him.

This time, Ai Bao thought about it, and he said, "Yes, a little bit sad."

He didn't tell Yan Tang like before, saying goodbye and hello are normal things now.

Ai Bao leaned against the car window, holding his face with a small fat hand.

"Baby, don't you always know that breaking up is a very common thing?" Yan Tang turned his head and asked Ai Bao.

He's a little weird.

Whether it was the former Mr. Cat or the lost "Doudou", they may never see each other again. When Ai Bao parted with them, he never expressed any sadness.

But this time, Li Ming is in this bookstore, maybe he will stay here for a long time.They want to see Yan Tang driving Ai Bao to the bookstore and they can meet.

However, this time, Ai Bao seemed a little bit embarrassed about the parting.

It is rare for Aibao to have a bit of melancholy on his soft face.

He changed his position and rested his head on Yan Tang's shoulder.

"Yes," Ai Bao said, looking at Yan Tang, "but Ai Bao is also an ordinary person, and Ai Bao will be sad."

"There's no reason to be sad, no why," he said. "When you're sad, you're sad."
