big brother next door

? "Xiaoling Xiaoling! This way!"

Ling Qiu looked to the left of the school gate, and Chu Li ran towards him with two buns in his hands.

"Good morning." Ling Qiu nodded politely.

"Morning! Xiao Ling, have you eaten breakfast? If you don't come in time, there are meat buns?"

"I've eaten it, thank you. But I think the three-pack is more delicious."

"Hmm! The sambal is really delicious! But I still prefer meat!"

Ling Qiu and Chu Li got into Chu Li's car while chatting about common daily chat topics.The topics they talked about along the way were very normal, Chu Li was actually very funny and good at chatting with people, although sometimes he was very funny, but generally speaking Ling Qiu was in a good mood.You know how long it has been since she communicated with normal people... It doesn't mean that she and the people from the Zuo family can't communicate well, but their daily conversations generally contain some abnormal elements.

For example, when Mrs. Kicho invited her to stay and finish the meal, it was similar to—"Ah, little Qiuciu~ haven't you gone back yet? It's time for dinner, let's have dinner together?" "Thank you for your kindness, but the experiment is in progress In progress, this experimental body is mutating, and the data recording cannot be stopped. Don’t worry about me, you can have dinner with your family first.” “Oh, is that so? It’s been really hard~ You can come over for dinner anytime after the experiment is over, today’s I deliberately added a rare neurotoxin to the main course~ I heard that one drop can kill 20 people~" "Ah... is that right, I will come if I have the chance... thank you"

No wonder!Who wants to stay for this kind of dinner!

The optimistic, cheerful and positive boy is so healing!Ling Qiu, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, was almost in tears, alas Zuo Luqi, I understand why you want to run away from home...

But a while ago, it seemed that Zuo Luqi encountered something, or something happened to him.He seems to have been silent a lot recently, Ling Qiu was a little worried about him.But even if I want to help, I can't do anything, she doesn't know how to comfort Zuo Luqi, and if something happens to Zuo Luqi, brother Zuo Luyi will deal with it immediately... without her What's the matter.

"What's the matter, Xiao Ling? What's on your mind?"

Chu Li asked with concern from the side.

Ling Qiu turned his head to look at this boy, no, maybe it should be called a man.He is not as perceptive as most people in the Zuo family, but no matter in the past or now, when Ling Qiu has any bad emotions such as sadness, unhappiness or distress, Chu Li can notice it immediately, and after that If not, you will actively take actions to make yourself happy.In this case, it can only be done by paying attention to one person all the time.

Chu Li, it's incredible, why is he so positive.Ling Qiu recalled, even when he hated him the most when he hurt him when he was a child, he just looked at himself with aggrieved face.Never lost his temper, and after a few minutes passed, he had a sunny face again.

Ling Qiu is very clear about what kind of person she is. People with high IQ are prone to pessimism, despair, or world-weariness. In short, their minds are easily distorted... Chu Li is a bit too dazzling for her, and she actually doesn't know what to do with herself. Facing Chu Li.But being with him must be very warm, this is what Ling Qiu can be sure of, and now he also feels it.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about a kid from the neighbor's house. He seems to be in a low mood recently, and I plan to bring him some chocolate back soon."

"You are really gentle, Xiao Ling"

"Shut up..."

"Haha~ follow orders"

Ling Qiu turned his head away, resting his chin with one hand and thinking sullenly, an idiot would say such a thing, you don't know anything, what kind of person I became after that.

After arriving at Strange Valley, the two lined up to buy tickets, then entered the amusement park and continued to line up.This meeting is not like last time... Ling Qiu and Chu Li lined up for each event honestly, although it was annoying to have to wait for a long time, but this is the fun of the amusement park.Standing in line for hours, chatting with friends about unnutritious but interesting topics, and playing together excitedly after queuing for a project.At noon, we complained about the expensive restaurants in the amusement park. In the evening, we basically played all the things we wanted to play. The two of us ate marshmallows and walked slowly in the amusement park to see what else was available. Just follow the crowd while driving.

It's all trivial things, but isn't the relationship and connection between friends accumulated bit by bit like this?

"Xiao Ling" the two walked aimlessly on the stone path of the amusement park, Chu Li threw away the cotton candy stick in his hand, and suddenly said to Ling Qiu.

"Ok?"

"Actually, I've liked you since I was a child."

Ling Qiu stopped biting the marshmallow, and stared at Chu Li in a daze, not knowing how to react, but his heart beat faster.

"Even after you move, I—"

"Ding dong ding ding ding ding—" Guozi's default ringtone suddenly rang, interrupting Chu Li's next words.Ling Qiu suddenly had a feeling of "I'm saved!", she probably wasn't ready to listen to what Chu Li was going to say next.

But after glancing at the phone screen, she suddenly felt that she might as well continue listening to Chu Li...

Ling Qiu just remembered that she was super excited when she first got the fruit 6, so she took the trouble to set a special ringtone for everyone in the address book (not many anyway...).Only Zuo Luyi, Ling Qiu thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of any music suitable for this big brother who never shows himself.So only Zuo Luyi's incoming call is the monotonous fruit default ringtone...

What should I do...Ling Qiu silently looked at the name of the caller, and felt that she really didn't want to answer...But if she didn't answer Zuo Luyi's call, she knew what would happen to her...So Ling Qiu signaled Chu Li not to make a sound, and whispered I told him that it was a call from a particularly strict supervisor at the research institute.

"Hello... well, good evening..." Ling Qiu answered the phone with a sad face.

"Yeah" Sure enough, Ling Qiu heard Zuo Luyi's iconic opening tone when he answered his phone.

And this seemingly dull opening is often followed by a series of lectures from Zuo Luyi...

"It's indeed night. It's already 09:30. Where are you? You still have class in the third period tomorrow morning."

==I don’t want to tell you... I obviously left Zuo Luyi’s swatch in the apartment, why did Zuo Luyi still call to check on him... "Well... I was in Qiwei Valley with my classmates, because I always rejected my classmates If you invite me, it will be considered unsocial, and it will arouse the disgust of others. It would be bad if you attract unnecessary attention like this, so this time, I came to play with my classmates."

"Oh, is that so?" Zuo Luyi casually replied to Ling Qiu, completely unable to sense whether he believed him or not.Ling Qiu could only obediently wait for his next words, basically if he made any decision, he would not have any other thoughts...

"It will take at least an hour to go back to your apartment now. It's too late, don't stay any longer, you know?"

"Well, I'll go back right away..." Zuo Luyi's deterrent power is too great... When Ling Qiu's own mother came to urge her, she dared to ignore the calls and text messages, but she didn't answer the phone or return to Zuo Luyi. text messages... Are you looking for scolding... She was in the shower once and missed a few calls from Zuo Luyi. As a result, Ling Qiu came out of the bathroom 10 minutes later and saw that the lights were not turned on in the room, and Zuo Luyi was just like that. Standing in her bedroom and watching her silently, Ling Qiu was scared off by the bath towels at that time, okay... Afterwards, Zuo Luyi put her bathing time on the schedule... Really enough...

"And in the future, you should always carry a watch with you. Although you are much better than ordinary people, you will still be at a disadvantage when you meet a professional face-to-face. In case of an accident, I can also locate you at any time. Unless it is In special circumstances, don't take off the watch casually in the future."

"Hmm... sorry... I didn't bring it because I thought it would get in the way of riding a roller coaster today. I will pay attention to it in the future." No wonder!I know that there are bugs and positioning chips installed in the watch, so I deliberately didn't wear it today!

"Alas, Qiuyu—" Zuo Luyi suddenly sighed and called Ling Qiu, as if being called by the head teacher in class, Ling Qiu immediately straightened his back.No... She won't be afraid if the class teacher calls her... Anyway, she can do the questions... But when Brother Zuo Luyi calls your name, everything you do must be wrong!

"Huh?! Yes, yes, brother Zuo Luyi?"

"It's the same with some small things like this before. Before doing it, you should consider whether it will cause trouble to others. Although fortunately, it didn't have much impact, but every time I have to remind you to change it, this is terrible. no."

Ling Qiu listened speechlessly, when did she cause trouble to 'others'!The only other person is you, brother Zuo Luyi!And if you didn't control me so strictly, maybe this little trouble wouldn't have happened.Although I knew that Zuo Luyi was worried that he would meet someone from the Zuo family, if he was accidentally killed, a lot of research would be interrupted, and if he couldn't find someone to finish it in time, a huge amount of money would be wasted.But I am not a member of the Zuo family, and I am usually only in charge of support. The few times I go out on missions, I stay in the house with a sniper rifle. Who would know who she is.And would someone really be so sick to attack innocent her?Hmm... maybe there is and she's not innocent...but that's beside the point!The point is that Zuo Luyi is too strict with her!

"...I'm sorry Brother Zuo Luyi, I will pay attention..." No!She didn't feel embarrassed!Why does she care so much about what Zuo Luyi thinks!And he didn't ask Zuo Luyi to take care of him, the attitude of the others in the Zuo family was obviously indulgent towards him.

Then Ling Qiu and Zuo Luyi hung up the phone after saying goodbye, then turned around looking at Chu Li apologetically and said, "Well, I'm sorry, but I should probably go back..."

"It's okay, but was that person from the research institute just now? Isn't that a bit lenient?"

Not only is it a bit wide... I was directly taken over by Zuo Luyi after the basic training stage. After that, if there are any habits that violate the killer's creed, Zuo Luyi will correct them one by one very carefully. come over.Ling Qiu accidentally made a few mistakes at the very beginning, and he was punished so badly... Maybe his love for Zuo Luyi was slowly worn away like this...?It's not easy to like a normal person these days...

"Well, he's like my parent...and I'd better listen to him now and go back..."

"Oh well, let's go then."

After Chu Li drove the car out of the parking lot, on the way to send Ling Qiu back, he didn't bring up the interrupted topic again.Seeing him hesitating about what to say, Ling Qiu could only pretend to be ignorant.While secretly rejoicing that Chu Li is not the aggressive type, if the other party's attitude is not very positive, he will not chase the other party to finish the sentence.

Sorry, I have to go back and figure out how to explain or communicate with Zuo Luyi.And the difficulty of this question is really great, probably it has to be done subtly...

Ling Qiu felt a little guilty towards Chu Li, she clearly knew what the other person was thinking but kept others from giving a specific answer, and she didn't want to do that either.

But Chu Li was quite a gentleman and sent her to the door of the apartment.

Wait, in front of the apartment?

Ling Qiu hurriedly turned his head to look at the other person who had just said goodbye to him, Chu Li really smiled wickedly and waved at her.An honest and excellent young man like him would actually collect information while others were distracted. Although it was a little funny, this feeling was immediately overwhelmed by the feeling of fear that surged afterwards.

What if he came to look for him without authorization and happened to run into Zuo Luyi?Ling Qiu looked at the car leaving, his face turned pale thinking.It's better to say that he is a classmate who often comes to contact his class recently, or——

No, no matter what, Ling Qiu quickly thought of countless convincing excuses in his mind, but quickly denied them.This kind of words tell Zuo Luyi that he only needs to do a little research to find out, and the consequences of lying to him and being discovered are even more serious.

I can only send a text message to Chu Li first to tell him to be honest and stop messing around. He still doesn't know the specific floor where he lives.It shouldn't come to me so soon.

Then he had to hurry up and think of a way to make Zuo Luyi agree.
