Chapter 143 Keeping the World Warm
He took two steps forward and came to Bai Qingxia's side.
"How's Uncle Lu's face? I didn't see him when I came out just now..."
"It's okay. My dad is thicker-skinned than me. It won't be a problem."
Faced with the boy's joke, the girl couldn't laugh at this moment.
She secretly glanced at the instant noodle box in the trash can, hesitated for a few seconds, and said, "How about I ask my dad not to come tomorrow..."
"No, that won't work. Uncle Bai has finally developed a habit of going between home and the supermarket. How can we interrupt it?"
Lu Yuanqiu refused immediately.
Seeing the embarrassed expression on the girl's face, he raised his hand and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry about it. It's just a very small incident that happened today. It won't affect anything."
Bai Qingxia stood there, still staring at the instant noodle box in the trash can from time to time, her expression full of apology.
No matter how big the grudge between Baixi Instant Noodles and her family is, it has nothing to do with Uncle Lu’s supermarket. They just purchased this batch of goods.
Although Lu Yuanqiu didn't care about these small amounts of money, she cared about it very much and felt bad about it, but she didn't dare to mention it, for fear that Lu Yuanqiu would think she was nagging and troublesome.
"Little monk, little monk."
At this time, Bai Songzhe pointed at Lu Yuanqiu and laughed foolishly.
Lu Yuanqiu caught Bai Qingxia's gaze and glanced towards the trash can. After he understood, he moved to the side and blocked her sight.
"You probably don't know that Four Seasons Fresh Supermarket never stocks Baixi instant noodles because my uncle's and second uncle's companies are currently sworn enemies of Baixi. Because of this, my father has always disliked this brand, so even if those instant noodles are lost, it is definitely not a loss for the supermarket."
Bai Qingxia looked up at him doubtfully.
Lu Yuanqiu smiled and pushed her back: "Go, go, go, go home quickly, let uncle go home and sleep early."
The three of them were walking on the night road, and Lu Yuanqiu couldn't help but complain: "Can you ask your dad to change my nickname? Little Monk is too ugly."
The girl's voice came softly from the side: "Dad only gives nicknames to people he likes. He forgets about people he doesn't like after meeting them once."
Lu Yuanqiu was speechless for a moment.
He scratched his buzz cut and said, "I keep it just for convenience. When I get into college, I'll change my hairstyle. What do you think?"
The girl looked up at his head and nodded with a smile: "I think it's all right. The current one looks good too."
"You mean I'm handsome now?"
"..."
"Tsk, come on, why are you suddenly silent?"
"..."
"Say it or not, say it or not, say it or not."
"Don't hit Xia Xia!" Bai Songzhe forced his way between the two of them and looked at Lu Yuanqiu with a frown.
"No hitting, no hitting, just poking, poking..."
Only then did Bai Songzhe calm down.
It takes about 20 minutes to walk from Wangjiang Road to Guihua Lane on Qingnian Road. Lu Yuanqiu entered the lane and walked the father and daughter all the way to their doorstep.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."
The girl stood at the door and looked into his eyes and said.
Lu Yuanqiu said in surprise: "Your first sentence wasn't to invite me in for a drink of water?"
Bai Qingxia reacted and quickly made way: "Come in and have a drink of water."
"It's too late! Belated affection is cheaper than grass!" Lu Yuanqiu turned his face away and raised his hand mercilessly.
Seeing the girl standing there in embarrassment, he smiled and said, "Just kidding. By the way, what are you going to do later?"
"Get daddy to sleep, then brush your teeth, wash your face, take a bath, wash... wash your underwear... and then go to bed."
"Where do I shower?"
Seeing the girl's beautiful eyes staring at him, and she was alert and silent, Lu Yuanqiu immediately raised four fingers: "God is my conscience, I just thought I didn't see where you took a shower, so I asked."
"Oh, I didn't peek. It's over. I feel so disappointed. The prejudices between people are too deep—"
Before Lu Yuanqiu could say anything, the girl took a step back, her earlobes red as she pointed at the toilet room opposite Bai Songzhe's bed.
"what?"
Lu Yuanqiu was stunned. There was a small toilet here, a squat toilet, but he had taken a quick glance before and remembered that there was less than one square meter of space inside. Where could he wash himself?
He walked around and looked up, only to find a shower head hanging with a rope above the squat toilet.
Good fellow... Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. Isn't she afraid of stepping into a pit when taking a bath? Her feet are so small.
"How do you get your dad to sleep?"
Lu Yuanqiu seemed to say whatever he thought of, and turned around to ask her.
Bai Qingxia stood there stiffly and answered honestly: "Just...tell him a story."
"So amazing?! What are you talking about? Can you tell me?"
Bai Qingxia shook her head with red cheeks.
Lu Yuanqiu talked unexpectedly a lot tonight, and she couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly raised her hand and pushed Lu Yuanqiu's chest: "You should go home quickly. It's eleven o'clock, very late, and you have classes tomorrow..."
After pushing the boy to the door, Lu Yuanqiu quickly grabbed the door frame with one hand and said, "Wait, wait! One last sentence!"
Bai Qingxia then let go and looked at him angrily. She almost felt that Lu Yuanqiu was going to stay here tonight and not leave. If that happened, she would really be at a loss as to what to do.
Lu Yuanqiu took a deep breath and turned around: "Actually... I was just worried that you couldn't digest what happened today. Your father had kept it a secret from you for more than ten years, but I only took one minute to tell you. I..."
Bai Qingxia opened her mouth slightly, and finally understood what the boy meant. She quickly said, "I won't think too much about things that are meaningless to me. I... I have experienced a lot since I was a child, and I am still living well until now."
The girl laughed at herself when she said the last sentence, and even stuck out her tongue. It was a playful expression, but it was not like what she would normally do. Maybe she just had a sudden inspiration and pretended to be someone who would put the boy at ease.
Still alive and well till now...really?
Lu Yuanqiu looked at her deeply, and at this moment his eyes seemed to be filled with unspeakable words. He was finally touched by the girl's pure smile, and he also lowered his head, smiled, and nodded slightly.
"Okay, I'm leaving."
Just after taking a step, Lu Yuanqiu quickly turned back. Before the other party could react, he quickly rubbed the girl's soft face with his hands twice, then left with a smile.
Bai Qingxia stood at the door in a daze, while Lu Yuanqiu quickly went downstairs.
The cheeks are hot.
I also hope that the girl will always remain warm to this world.
……
Next day, star two.
Zhushi, Baoling Prison.
A young man wearing black-framed glasses was sitting at a square table, and sitting opposite him was a criminal wearing an orange vest.
"Mr. Lin, in the last two years of your life, do you have anything else you want to say? Or... do you have any last words to say?"
