Tolerate

It was early autumn, and there were already falling leaves on the boulevard.The setting sun mottled down on the road, looking a bit bleak.

However, the woman standing by the side of the road gave this scene a little life.She wears slightly curly long hair, an off-white windbreaker, a plain shirt inside, and a small light green silk scarf around her fair and slender neck, embellishing a scene full of spring in the early autumn scene.

Looking at the woman's silhouette, Jiang Bei shook his head slightly, then raised his hand and said, "Mu Yun."

Chi Muyun turned his head and smiled, "Let's go."

Today Jiangbei took Chi Muyun's car home as usual.

"Today my cousin..." Jiang Bei was the first to break the silence.What Jiang Hai said after drinking today made her feel embarrassed and angry, but Jiang Hai was her cousin anyway, and it was not her turn to comment on the way the elders behaved, so she could only apologize on his behalf.

In her heart, Chi Muyun is inviolable.

Chi Muyun smiled slightly, the corners of his raised eyes slightly curved up, "It's okay, you don't need to apologize for this."

Jiang Bei breathed a sigh of relief, "How about I accompany you to pick up Xiaolu?"

Chi Muyun hesitated for a moment, "I'm going to take her to buy clothes later. You should go home first."

"No," Jiang Bei smiled, "I'll accompany you."

Chi Muyun smiled and said nothing.Under normal circumstances, she would bring Jiang Bei to the door of the house, and then pick up Lu Qingming.

Wang Yaning didn't go to Xu Linlin to teach math problems until after school in the afternoon.

Xu Linlin was also embarrassed to show that she cared, her little head was held high, and she went out to play rope skipping with the girls during class.

Commuting students had to take a self-study class before they could leave school. Wang Yaning used this self-study class to easily complete all the homework, and even read extracurricular books for a while. Turning around, Lu Qingming was frowning and digging out his Chinese diary.

Wang Yaning looked at her curiously.Sensing her gaze, Lu Qingming scratched his hair and handed her the book to read.

In fact, the third grade diary is only required to write a few complete sentences, and it is enough to clarify a small matter.However, Lu Qingming still wrote... horrible.

So the two little heads got together again and began to study the Chinese diary.

Xu Linlin was the study committee member, she turned her ponytail and said, "You are not allowed to talk in the self-study."

Wang Yaning and Lu Qingming glanced at each other and began to write and draw in their notebooks.Xu Linlin saw that the two of them were still together even though they had stopped talking, so she pursed her lips and let out a "hum".

After self-study, Xu Linlin walked to Wang Yaning's desk, and said in a low voice, "Wang Yaning, let's go together?"

Wang Yaning sighed maturely, but his tone was still so weak, "You have someone to pick you up, I want to take the bus."

"Then I'll take the bus too!" Xu Linlin cast a sideways glance at Lu Qingming and said proudly.

"We... are not on the way..." Wang Yaning stood up and hid behind Lu Qingming.

Lu Qingming took Wang Yaning away without even looking at Xu Linlin.

Xu Linlin stomped her feet angrily.

Two girls, one tall and one short, came out of the school gate with their schoolbags on their backs.So many children came out, Chi Muyun saw Lu Qingming at a glance.

Beside her was a little girl who looked a little timid, pulling on Lu Qingming's sleeve as if hiding from someone.

"I've made friends so quickly," Jiang Bei sighed, "You're still worried about Xiaolu, but Xiaolu can already do very well."

Chi Muyun waved to Lu Qingming.

"Is that your mother?" Wang Yaning couldn't help being a little curious. Such a beautiful and young woman is obviously more like Lu Qingming's sister.

"No... she is," Lu Qingming paused, blinked his big eyes in confusion, and then said reluctantly, "It's... aunt."

As for why her aunt came to pick her up and not her parents, the precocious Wang Yaning felt that she shouldn't ask so many questions, so she nodded and said, "Your aunt is so beautiful. Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Seeing that Jiang Bei was also there, Lu Qingming paused, walked over and called, "Hello, Sister Jiang."

Chi Muyun pursed her red lips, couldn't help laughing, touched Lu Qingming's little head, and said angrily, "Call me Auntie."

Jiang Bei pushed his glasses, blushed and said, "It's nice to be called sister, Auntie is so old-fashioned."

Chi Muyun still laughed, "Our Xiaolu can really talk."

She opened the door, and Jiang Bei naturally sat in the co-pilot.

Lu Qingming lowered his head and got into the back seat.She heard Chi Muyun and Jiang Bei chatting about topics she didn't understand, such as "interview", "synthesis", "editor-in-chief"... She held her schoolbag and stared blankly at Chi Muyun.From her perspective, only Chi Muyun's fair ears and the corners of his smiling mouth can be seen.

"By the way," Chi Muyun suddenly turned his head slightly, "Xiaolu, that girl just now is your good friend, right?"

Lu Qingming hesitated for a moment. The word "good friend" is actually very strange to her.

But... Wang Yaning should be her friend, right?She thought of Sun Xiaohe in her hometown, who was her first and only friend.

She nodded, "Hmm..."

"Next time, you can invite your little friend to your house as a guest." When Chi Muyun heard that she really made friends, the corners of Chi Muyun's mouth twitched even more.

Seeing Chi Muyun's happy face, Lu Qingming couldn't help but feel happy, and nodded with a smirk, "Okay!"

Jiang Bei glanced at Lu Qingming in the rearview mirror and pushed his glasses.

It is difficult to buy children's underwear during this period. You have to try it on to know if it fits.

In the fitting room, one big and one small face each other, the little one is calm, but the big one is blushing.

Chi Muyun lowered his eyes and asked, "How do you wear it? Is it comfortable?"

This underwear is a bit thicker than the previous ones, so it's definitely not comfortable.Lu Qingming twisted his body, frowned and said, "...It's okay, it's okay."

Chi Muyun told her to turn her back, and reached out to help her adjust the tightness of the shoulder straps and the back buckle.

"How about this?" Chi Muyun asked softly while adjusting.

The woman's soft and warm fingertips brushed across her shoulders, a little itchy.Lu Qingming narrowed his eyes and nodded, "Okay."

"Really?" Chi Muyun gently straightened her body, and let her stretch out her hand to hook the fabric, so she can see how tight it is.

"It's a little loose... Come on, I'll help you tighten it."

"Oh……"

"I'll teach you, this way..."

"Hmm. Hehe."

……

Jiang Bei stood outside the fitting room, looking down at the ground.She had been waiting for a long time, and there were whispers of one big and one small in the fitting room from time to time.

She is also one of Chi Muyun's best friends, right?But she has never been this close to Chi Muyun...

Thinking of buying underwear for myself, and Chi Muyun helping me adjust it... Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely shy.

But the fact is that every time he buys underwear with her, Chi Muyun helps her carry her bag and wait outside...

She shook her head, feeling that she had made too much fuss.Lu Qingming was still a child with such a pitiful background, it was reasonable for Chi Muyun to treat her well.

What's more, they are relatives.

She laughed at herself for thinking too much.

After a while, Chi Muyun finally came out with Lu Qingming.

"I want these two...Xiaolu, what color do you want?"

Lu Qingming looked at her, "Anything is fine."

Chi Muyun smiled and shook his head, then turned to the shopping guide and said, "Pink and white."

Little girl, how nice it is to be pink and tender.

"Come to my house for dinner this weekend," Chi Muyun rolled down the car window and said when sending Jiang Bei home, "Didn't you say you like the meatballs made by Aunt Wu?"

Jiang Bei replied with a smile, "Okay."

On the weekend, Chi Muyun brought Lu Qingming and Jiang Bei back home, and Chi Muqiu also brought Xia Bing over.The house that had been deserted for many days suddenly became lively. Aunt Wu was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, and made the menu ordered by the children over and over again.

The plants in the greenhouse grew more luxuriantly. As soon as Lu Qingming got home, he went straight to the kitchen to get a watering can and a shovel.

Ling Suzhen looked at Lu Qingming's familiar technique, and sighed, "This kid is doing a good job."

Hearing her mother's words, Chi Muyun frowned slightly.

There was a preliminary test on Thursday. Lu Qingming was fine in math, but failed in Chinese.

She didn't want others to think that Lu Qingming couldn't use his brain and could only do manual labor.

On Friday, Lu Qingming returned home with the report card, feeling uneasy.It wasn't until I was about to go to bed that I took it out slowly.

She raised her eyes secretly, observing Chi Muyun's expression, nervously waiting for her disappointment.

However, Chi Muyun did not.

She stroked Lu Qingming's little head, and said with a smile, "It's okay, come on, I'll correct the test paper for you."

Lu Qingming wiped the sweat off his neck, slowed down, and looked back at Chi Muyun.The woman was wearing loose casual clothes, with a high ponytail, and her hands were casually copying her pockets, much more relaxed than her usual professional attire.

Lu Qingming naturally felt that she looked good no matter what she wore.

It's just that the woman hangs her head, looking not very interested.

Is she unhappy because of her grades...

Lu Qingming put his head down and finished the work, turned around and walked towards the woman.

"what happened?"

When Chi Muyun saw her walking in front of him and didn't speak, he thought she was bumping into him, so he frowned slightly and asked, "Did I feel sick to my stomach after eating too much? Or..."

The girl's sudden embrace made her slightly stunned.

It must have been a girl.

Before she knew it, the girl was able to stand on her tiptoes and hug her neck.

Lu Qingming hugged her, buried his face in her neck, and said in a muffled voice, "...I'm sorry."

Chi Muyun raised his arms, and there was some helplessness in his voice, "Xiao Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Qingming hugged her tightly, and his voice was even lower, "...I'm sorry. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Chi Muyun finally came to his senses, encircled Lu Qingming with his slender arms, and said slowly with a chuckle, "I was partial to subjects when I was young, and I was not very good at math. I often cried while doing math homework. The math teacher said, I No math cells, do you know what a 'mathematical cell' is? It means that you are born to learn math well."

"Then what then?" Lu Qingming listened fascinated.

Chi Muyun smiled and said, "And then, at the end of the semester, I got the first place in the class, with a perfect score in mathematics. If you don't work hard, no one can easily say that you can't learn well. Math is like this, and Chinese is the same. Others say we can't learn well. , then we learn how to show them, isn’t that even more remarkable? Isn’t it?”

With the setting sun in early autumn and her warm voice, Lu Qingming felt that his whole body was warm.

She remembered that unforgettable afternoon all her life.That afternoon, for the first time, she experienced a complex emotion.

It turned out that she was so afraid of Chi Muyun being disappointed.It turns out that one person can be another person's motivation.

It's not that she can do whatever Chi Muyun wants her to do, but...to become a better person and not let Chi Muyun worry or be disappointed...
