And that seems like a long time ago.
Lu Huaiyu saw her and walked towards her.
Ning Li tightened her backpack strap and walked forward.
"Second brother."
she yelled.
Lu Huaiyu stretched out his hand, over her shoulder, and took her bag in his hand.
Ning Li planned to go back to Ye's house directly after watching the movie, so she brought her backpack along with her.
The backpack was in his hands, and it really didn't fit in with his ascetic and luxurious appearance.
But he didn't seem to mind, and took a look at Ning Li.
"Isn't it cold if you wear so little?"
In December in Yunzhou, the temperature is already very low.
There are three sets of school uniforms in No. 2 Middle School, one for spring and autumn, one for summer and one for winter.
At this time, many students have already changed into winter school uniforms when they go to and from school.
Ning Li was still wearing the spring and autumn unlined clothing, with a loose white sweater inside and a black baseball cap on her head.
Doesn't look like an early winter outfit.
She shook her head:
"fine."
Every day to and from school is picked up by the Ye family's driver, and the classroom is also warm, so I don't feel too cold.
Lu Huai nodded.
"Let's go, it's seven forty."
The two took a taxi to HG.
The car drove towards HG.
On Christmas night, the streets are very lively.
The group buildings on both sides of the road are radiant and full of Christmas elements.
There are Christmas trees, garlands, lights and streamers everywhere.
Ning Li looked out the car window for a while.
When I was in school, the Christmas atmosphere was already quite strong, but it was still nothing compared to the outside world.
Lu Huaiyu leaned on the back of the chair and turned his head to look at her.
"nice?"
Ning Li nodded.
"It's quite lively."
She spent a long time in a nursing home.
During that time, day after day, what I saw and heard every day was the same scene.
Yesterday, today, tomorrow, no difference.
The white walls and sheets, and the pungent smell of disinfectant became a nightmare she could not shake off.
Counting it, it has been a long, long time since there has been such a lively festival.
The people on the road were laughing and making noises, and streamers of light flickered on the glass wall.
Long time no see.
She looked at the bustling scene outside the window, her clear and clean peach eyes shone brightly, she was quiet and well-behaved.
Lu Huaiyu nodded slightly, with a smile on the corner of his lips.
"It's beautiful."
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at HG.
There is a huge Christmas tree in the center of the square, surrounded by various exquisite gift boxes.
The lights flickered and people came and went.
Ning Li followed Lu Huaiyu and walked inside.
Because there are quite a lot of people around, Ning Li is closer to them.
Suddenly, a little girl about ten years old ran over, holding a bouquet of roses in her arms.
"Big brother! Buy your girlfriend a flower!"
She raised her head and looked at Lu Huaiyu expectantly.
This brother looks so handsome! The sister next to him is also so beautiful!
Lu Huaiyu stood still, Ning Li was startled by the little girl's words, accidentally bumped into Lu Huaiyu's back, grabbed Lu Huaiyu's arm, and managed to stand still.
Lu Huai turned his head to the side and raised his eyebrows to look at her.
Ning Li quickly let go of her hand, she caught a glimpse of the rose in the little girl's arms out of the corner of her eye, and was stunned.
This little girl seems to have misunderstood
She's still wearing her school uniform!
How did you get her and Lu Huaiyu together
"Little sister, you made a mistake, I'm not his girlfriend."
Ning Li hurried forward to explain.
The little girl was also stunned for an instant, blinking her eyes, looked at Lu Huaiyu, and then at Ning Li.
no
How can it be
She has always had a good eye!
She looked at Lu Huaiyu in disbelief.
"Big brother, so you haven't caught up yet? Then you have to buy it!"
Ning Li never expected that she would answer such a sentence, and stayed on the spot for a while.
Behind him, Lu Huaiyu suddenly laughed softly.
Ning Li didn't even dare to turn her head back for a moment.
She took the phone out of her pocket.
"Little sister, I bought all of your flowers. But I can't get them now, so I still give them to you. You can take them home."
The weather was quite cold, the little girl stayed here, her cheeks and nose were red from the wind.
Hearing what Ning Li said, the little girl suddenly became happy.
"Thank you sister!"
She held up the QR code hanging in her arms.
Ning Li paid the money and urged the little girl to go home quickly.
The little girl thanked her several times before leaving happily.
Ning Li was inexplicably relieved and turned around.
"Second brother, we—"
Turning around, I realized that Lu Huaiyu had disappeared.
She panicked.
"Second brother?"
There were crowds of people everywhere, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
But those were all unfamiliar faces.
They are not Lu Huaiyu.
She frowned, and raised her foot to walk in a certain direction.
The wrist was suddenly pulled.
"I'm here, where am I going?"
Hearing this familiar deep and lazy voice, Ning Li's hanging heart immediately let go.
She turned around, and sure enough, she saw it was Lu Huaiyu.
There was a tightness in her throat.
"Second brother."
Lu Huai and Min Ke discovered that something seemed wrong with Ning Li's expression.
She seemed...extremely nervous.
Although she concealed it very well, when she looked over at that moment, there was still panic in her eyes that had not faded away.
Lu Huai and his eyes moved slightly.
She looked a bit like the one she had when she was drunk that day.
But Ning Li quickly adjusted her state, and when she looked again, she couldn't see any abnormalities.
Lu Huaiyu didn't ask any further questions, but just handed over the things in his hand.
"this is for you."
Only then did Ning Li notice that he was still holding a balloon in his hand
It's a small cake-shaped balloon.
Ning Li: "."
This seems to be coaxing children, right
Lu Huaihe left just now, so he went to buy this
She felt that Lu Huaiyu seemed to have misunderstood her.
"Children are selling it, so I chose this."
Hearing what he said, Ning Li looked in the direction he came from just now, and sure enough, she saw a little boy who had already sold the last balloon and was about to leave.
It looked about the same age as the little girl just now.
She pulled the balloon, a little hesitant.
"Second brother, is this not easy to carry?"
Lu Huaiyu didn't seem to think this was a problem.
"It's not big, just tie it on your schoolbag and take it home."
He deliberately chose a suitable size.
He said so, Ning Li had no choice but to agree.
"All right."
Lu Huaiyu looked at the time.
"Let's go, it's almost time to start."
With that said, he took Ning Li to the HG elevator.
Only then did Ning Li realize that he hadn't let go of her wrist.
Probably because there are too many people around.
Ning Li thought and followed.
In front of the elevator, Lu Huaiyu really let go of his hands.
Ning Li pulled the balloon and followed into the elevator.
On that side, the two children got together.
The little boy showed off with a smile:
"I know it all! You just misidentified him!"
The little girl snorted unconvinced.
"I won't admit my mistake! That little brother just likes that young lady!"
