Lost in the world

In the small courtyard, a field of vegetables cultivated is growing gratifyingly.The branches of jujube trees hung with green jujubes protruded into the wall, casting a cool green shade over Li Ting's head. When the autumn wind blew, he could only hear the jujubes knocking on the leaves, making his back really cool.

Li Ting couldn't help shrinking his neck, and after watering the vegetable field, he saw Xiaoyu rubbing his sleepy eyes, taking off his shoes and walking down the stairs, and asked in a soft voice:

"Where's my brother?"

Li Ting said, "In the kitchen."

Mo Qingxuan just poked his head out, wearing an apron, his hands were covered with flour, his smile became brighter and brighter in the morning sun: "You're awake, how are you sleeping? Stop, take your sister to wash your face and brush your teeth. I steamed lotus root Rongbao, boiled corn oatmeal, all of which are sweet, I don’t know if you like it or not.”

Xiaoyu drooled: "I haven't eaten the rice you cook for a long time, brother, I can't think about it."

This day's breakfast was unexpectedly rich. In addition to steaming, there were two drawers of fried buns stuffed with leeks and eggs, and a bowl of milky glutinous rice balls.Xiaoyu has nothing to eat, her whole little face can't wait to be buried in the porridge bowl, the chopsticks are clamped quickly, her cheeks are stuffed like a little squirrel hiding food.

Li Ting was stunned, and kept saying: "Eat slowly, hey, sister, sister, eat slowly..."

Mo Qingxuan didn't eat much, he only drank a few mouthfuls of porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

"Li Ting, you still have to go to class, hurry up and eat! Xiaoyu, please eat slowly, and no one will compete with you. Chewing slowly helps digestion."

Only then did Xiaoyu slow down her chopsticks, and she ate until her belly was full, before she reluctantly put down the bowl and sighed: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full. I'm eating and sleeping outside, so it's better for my brother to stay here. If you are full, you can sleep in."

"Does your sister-in-law know you're here?"

"She doesn't know! She doesn't care about me." She scratched her messy hair, seemed distressed, and said reluctantly, "Don't worry, I have to call every month to report my safety. I kept a part of it to spend, and sent all the rest back, hoping that my sister-in-law can save some pension money.”

"How do you make money?" Mo Qingxuan looked surprised.

Xiaoyu had an unbearable past, but Li Ting didn't know about it, so he lowered his head and ate quietly, listening carefully.

"Don't underestimate me—" Xiaoyu was a little annoyed immediately, "To tell you the truth, I'm a well-known model now, and I can make a lot of money running around here and there as a tour guide. Little, I can’t help it, now that I’m grown up, I can’t do that anymore, and prostitution is illegal even if it’s consensual, right?”

Li Ting suddenly took a mouthful of rice and stuck it in his throat. He didn't swallow it, and almost spit it out. Fortunately, he held back in time. He took a bite of the fried bun and suddenly stood up and said, "Brother, I'm going to school."

"Slow down on the road."

He picked up his schoolbag on the sofa and rushed out the door

Xiaoyu couldn't help curling her lips, unhappy: "Will my brother look down on me?"

"I don't know what he thinks, you can ask him directly. However, I personally admire you very much." Mo Qingxuan felt even more ashamed when he thought of himself having no job and no income, and sitting idle all day long, "I'll wash Bowl. Go and clean it up and go out with me later."

"Ah, where are you going?"

Mo Qingxuan looked serious: "The vegetable market."

"No, brother—let me work as soon as I come back?"

……

after an hour

Mo Qingxuan leaned on the sofa and dozed off, Xiaoyu went down the stairs with the hem of her skirt: "Brother, I'm ready. Let's go!"

He woke up suddenly, glanced at his watch, and said with a heartbroken expression: "I'm going to be late."

"Have you dated other little beauties?"

This sentence sounds jealous, full of jealousy.Xiaoyu deliberately dressed up very beautifully, with long hair reaching her waist, black hair piled up on her temples, and two golden walkers, and put on the Hanfu that Mo Qingxuan bought her. .But Mo Qingxuan didn't praise her for her good looks, instead she looked at her worriedly:

"are not you cold?"

"It's okay, I posted Nuan Baobao."

Mo Qingxuan really didn't care about her anymore, hailed a taxi extravagantly, and said, "Master, go to the beach park."

"Brother, aren't you going to the vegetable market?"

"Go meet a friend first"

That friend looks really... Well, Xiaoyu said unceremoniously: "It's so pretty!"

Prettier than anyone she'd ever seen before—including her brother.Sitting next to the brilliant golden daisies blooming in "Hiding Home", she was quaint, like a romantic figure from the Wei and Jin Dynasties who came out of a scroll. , said to Mo Qingxuan:

"Brother, I seem to be in love."

The next moment, two violent snaps of "Kang Bang" hit her on the head.

"——It hurts! It hurts so much!—Brother, why did you hit me?"

She immediately burst into tears, and looked up at Mo Qingxuan accusingly.

Mo Qingxuan looked calm: "I'm waking you up. That gentleman has long since found his name, so you can give up."

"Who is it, who is my rival in love?"

Mo Qingxuan curled up his fingers, gestured and tapped again, so frightened that Xiaoyu quickly hugged his head and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I understand, can I stay away from that person?"

"His name is Wei Ziqi, and his sweetheart is a doctor."

"Doctor~"

Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose, suddenly shook off Mo Qingxuan's hand, and asked, "Is he the friend you're looking for?"

"Yes, what's your bad idea?"

After getting an affirmative answer, she was even happier, and immediately jumped up and down in front of Wei Ziqi, saying hello: "Hello, handsome guy! I'm sorry to make you wait so long, my name is Xiaoyu, and I'm my brother's sister. "

The Bund Park has three major features, scenery, food and bookstores.The name of the bookstore seems to be picked at random - "Xianju", and there is a flower shop next door: there is a flower shop.It is said that the two are the same boss who hired a young man to look after the store. Mo Qingxuan stepped into the "Hidden House" with his front foot, and the young man stood up slowly from the rattan rocking chair with his back foot, waved to him, and let out a bright smile. Little White Teeth:

"Hello, Mr. Mo!"

The brows are delicate, the slightly raised eyes have a charming and beautiful color, the lips are bright red, and there is a frivolous smile at this moment.

"..."

He was silent for a moment, um, what should I say, it turned out to be Shen Tu's younger brother——Shen Xuan? ! !

"Why are you here?"

Shen Xuan sat down lazily, propped his chin and yawned again, he seemed to have just woken up, and said in a lazily raised tone: "Working~"

"The Shen family is bankrupt, and you need to come out to work?"

"It's not so serious. It's just that the old man's favorite cousin came back and disliked me for being incompetent, so he kicked me out of the Shen family's gate. When I was alone and had nowhere to go, I was taken in by the boss... Haha , It's shameful, don't tell my brother."

He spoke miserably, but his face was plump and ruddy, his long and narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, and he looked full of satisfaction. It didn't look like he was abandoned, but he seemed to have found his owner. Pets, fed very well by their owners?

Mo Qingxuan couldn't describe this horrifying mood for a while, so he forced a smile and said, "I've invited a friend to come and talk later."

Over there, Xiaoyu has already had a heated chat with Wei Ziqi, no, it is Xiaoyu's one-sided hotness, and it can be seen that Wei Ziqi is actually very reserved.

Xiaoyu was very curious: "Is your girlfriend a doctor?"

Wei Ziqi shook his head: "She is not."

"But my brother said that your sweetheart is a doctor! I also thought, how scary the doctor is, how cruel the needle is!" Xiaoyu panicked.

Wei Ziqi frowned, paused for a few seconds, and then tactfully retorted: "He did it for the purpose of curing diseases and saving lives. Although it looks scary, he is extremely gentle."

Xiaoyu was unconvinced: "But, isn't the doctor scary? Cutting knives on people, touching corpses, and I heard that they even dissected rabbits for research. Woooooo, rabbits are so cute..."

"They have professional problems. Besides, everyone gets sick sometimes."

"Fortunately, I'm not a doctor, so I don't need to touch those, or I'll be scared to death. Girls should dress up beautifully, just like me who are weak and weak."

Wei Ziqi reacted calmly: "I just like his domineering and strong appearance."

"Then your taste is really unique." Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, suddenly smiled slyly, and said enviously: "You really dote on your girlfriend and protect her like this. It's great, I can find you like this in the future." boyfriend will be fine."

Wei Ziqi's calm attitude finally wavered, his eyes drooped, and he said sadly: "He is not my girlfriend. My girlfriend is another one."

"Ah, isn't the doctor you mentioned just now your girlfriend?" Xiaoyu's gloomy head spun quickly beyond capacity, "You obviously like that doctor, and there is another girlfriend besides her?!—— Don't you like your girlfriend, but the doctor you like?"

Seeing Wei Ziqi's bewildered reaction, she couldn't help but change slightly, as if she couldn't believe it, and then asked in surprise: "You don't even know who you like, do you? My God~~You Are you an idiot?!! My brother said you can't play with idiots, goodbye!"

Mo and Shen, who were watching coldly, smiled at each other: "Your sister is quite interesting."

"Of course, it's still pretty."

Wei Ziqi was born in the Academy of Fine Arts and studied in France for several years. His graffiti is a pleasing picture of mountains, rivers and communities. This time Mo Qingxuan came to him because he actually wanted something.

"This is a dress I made myself. It is made of solid color fabric. It looks a bit monotonous. Can you help me draw a picture?"

Wei Ziqi was surprised, one sentence - you wear it?It stopped in the throat, and the question became: "Who wears it?"

"Xiaoyu wears"

The skirt is a very classic color, with two layers of yellow in different shades stacked together, giving it a heavy feeling of restored cultural relics, but the fabric is very light and thin in the hand.

"Brother, did you make the dress for me yourself?"

Xiaoyu held her face in her hands all at once, her expression of surprise was indescribable, her face was smiling like a flower, and the corners of her mouth could not wait to grin up to her ears.Looking at it, it looks more and more like a sunflower blooming towards the sun.

Mo Qingxuan was dazzled by her smiling face, and couldn't help but feel better: "It's a pity that there are only skirts and no shirts to match it."

"It's okay——" she said happily, "You pick a few more beautiful fabrics and tailor them into clothes, and I look good again, so you can match them with whatever you want."

Mo Qingxuan pretended to be angry and said: "You are so bad, you dare to order me."

"Hehehe, I will strike."

When they parted, she was a little bit reluctant, her eyes were full of tears, and she raised her sleeves to pretend to wipe away her tears: "What a good-looking person, why is he such an emotionally slow fool. That doctor must be very pitiful."

Mo Qingxuan also showed regret: "Are you willing to help them?"

"If you make me Hanfu, I will agree!"

He glanced sideways: "The little girl has improved a lot, she knows how to negotiate terms."

"Hmph!" Xiaoyu looked back sideways, "You are the evil guy, you don't want to offend others, so let me be the club to beat the mandarin ducks! It's just fine if you don't agree, I'm too lazy to be a bad guy."

"Wait...Xiaoyu, I'm embarrassing you. Actually, on the day of Wei Ziqi's engagement, I need to go to other things." Mo Qingxuan suddenly frowned, with a helpless expression, and sighed slightly.

The tip of Xiaoyu's nose twitched, and she "hummed" proudly, and quickly reached out to hold Mo Qingxuan's hand, saying:

"Happy cooperation!"

On the way to the vegetable market, I couldn't tell whether it was "the road to the enemy is narrow" or "it is destined to meet a thousand miles away". Xiaoyu was licking a lollipop, and suddenly pointed to the distance and said:

"Yeah—it's Phoenix!"

After a distance of half a street, looking around, he only saw the moving heads.

"What a coincidence! Do you want to go over and say hello?" Xiaoyu looked up at him.

He had no choice but to say, "You have really nice eyes."

Xiaoyu felt that he was in a good mood when he received the compliment: "Of course, I don't go to school, I don't bow my head to do my homework, I don't stay up late to check my phone, I go to bed early and get up early, I eat and drink well, and my eyes are of course good. Phoenix is ​​far away, would you like me?" Go over and say hello, aren't you good friends?"

Mo Qingxuan patted her on the head: "If you don't go shopping, you can only have porridge at noon."

"Uh..." She changed her mind immediately, "Then let's go and ignore him for now. But oh, there is a man sneaking behind Phoenix, who doesn't look... eh~ he doesn't look like a good person."

Mo Qingxuan turned around: "Let's have porridge at noon! I'll go over and say hello."

"...It seems that something happened that I don't know about???" Xiaoyu's face was full of question marks, and she thought seriously again, "Why should I drink porridge when I have money?! I still want to eat big meals, porridge or something, uh Uh, go and drink by yourself!"

Then he looked sad: "Love makes people become a big fool, and their IQ is directly lowered. I'd better go to Li Ting's brother to find out. What does my brother like to eat, I can't pick him up empty-handed..."

Thinking of Li Ting's snow-white and cute face, she was in a good mood, bouncing and humming a little tune, and gradually drifting away, the hem of her skirt was like blooming snow-white waves.

……

Mo Qingxuan had never done anything like stalking people before, so he was very nervous, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of guilt in his heart.He had no choice but to put a straw hat on his head, passed through the crowd, and soon saw Phoenix walking in the distance with a hunchback and a back that looked heavier than usual.However, he didn't dare to get too close, so he could only follow from a distance, pay attention to his surroundings, and immediately found a man who was even more sneaky than him.

The man looked young, very thin, and even... a little familiar.

Just as he was thinking about it, the man suddenly turned his head and saw a young and undisciplined face. The creepy sound of "dong-dong-dong-dong-dong" knocking on the coffin suddenly sounded in his ears, as if he was strangled by something. As if holding his neck and blowing a breath of cool air, the hairs on his whole body stood on end.He couldn't help blurting out:

"Taoist Ziwei!"
