Li Zexin was stunned for a while when Preserved Egg passed the message to him. The whole family was looking for him by leaning against the wall. Could something have happened at home? Something urgent? Otherwise, why would they choose to look for him at night?
Li Zexin remembered what Dapao had said. That poison was quite unfriendly to the elderly. There were only Grandma Bao and Grandma Huang at home. Could it be that something had happened to them?
Li Zexin had been restless all night.
At 8:20 pm, he was already waiting by the courtyard wall. Li Yanchen, who had arrived early, guessed that his son had arrived when he saw that there was someone inside. Opening the car door, the family took their gifts and ran to the hollow railing.
Preserved Egg, Cannon, and Fatty accompanied Li Zexin from the left, right, and back. Li Zexin said that his family had suddenly come to the school to look for him. Perhaps something had happened to Grandma Huang. He was afraid that he would lose his balance when he heard the news, so he asked his roommates to support him.
When Lin Wan called, she didnât ask her roommates to come over because she knew that even if she didnât say anything, they would still come.
âSecond brother.â Li Zekai freed one hand and grabbed the railing.âWeâve brought you something. This globe will glow. I chose it and Big Brother bought it. Aiyo, why canât I stuff it in?âLi Zekai tried a few times before realizing that the gap between the railings was too small.
âThrow it from above.â Li Zexin suggested.
Li Zekai hugged the box tightly.â But this seems to be made of glass. If it falls to the ground, it will break.âââ
âItâs okay, I can catch it.â Li Zexin stretched out his hand.â
âThe few of us will cover the side. Iâll take off my clothes and wait. âPreserved Egg stepped forward to help.
âAre you here to give me something?âLi Zexin was confused.
âYes, big brother bought us books. Youâre not at home, so you canât miss out on yours. â
Li Zexuan continued, âA pile of information, do it seriously.âââ
The documents were stuffed into the courtyard wall one by one. Li Zexin counted a total of twelve books.
âBrother, when you called to say that you wanted to gather here with me, I thought that something had happened to our family. Now it seems that I was worrying too much. The one who had an accident was me. There are so many questions. Brother, you donât give me a chance to breathe at all. There are already a lot of school assignments. I really canât digest your kindness.âLi Zexin said as he looked at the books on the floor.
âThere are only two exercise books. The rest are all extra-cursory books for stress relief. You can read them with Dapao and the others. âLi Zexuan calculated that there were only 150 days left until the middle school entrance examination. He would not be able to finish buying too many exercises.
âI guess so.â Li Zexin was skeptical. He squatted down and picked up the books that were handed in from the gap. He read the books: â The Mentality Before the High School Entrance Examination
âErzi, these books are not bad. Itâs obvious that they were specially prepared for us. Take them. I really need to calm down recently.âCannon picked up a book and said.
Li Zexin folded the books together and said, âBig brother, youâve spent a lot of money. âââ
âStop chatting and eat something. Or bring it to the dormitory to eat. Itâs in a tin box and itâs still hot. It wonât be long before it gets cold after opening it. Xinxin, share it with your roommates. âLin Wan took a few bento bags and an/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
bag of snacks from the car and stuffed them in through the gap.
âAuntie Lin, letâs go back to the dormitory to eat. Itâs not convenient to eat here.âLi Zexin packed up everything and dragged his roommate to the dormitory.
âIâm a foodie. My eyes are shining when I see food. âLi Yanchen shook his head helplessly.
Li Zexin had returned at some point.âl seem to have forgotten to thank you. Thank you. Iâll bring you guys to have a meal after the exam. Drive slowly on the way back. âWith that, Li Zexin disappeared into the night.
âRun slowly, donât fall.â Lin Wan reminded him, but his stepson was nowhere to be found.
âLetâs go back.â Li Zexuan pulled his brotherâs hand.
âSecond Brother only has delicious food in his eyes. I still have something to say. âLi Zekai pouted.
âXinxin will be in school for a few months and canât go home. She must be tired of eating the food in the cafeteria every day. She probably canât go out to buy snacks, so she forgets everything she eats. âLin Wan understood Li Zexin. She had been there before. When she was young, she lived alone. When she saw other parents coming to school to give food to their children, her eyes almost popped out.
The food in the canteen was cheap, but it was really not delicious. Especially in the third year, he felt very happy to go out and eat a bowl of small wontons that cost 1.5 yuan.
âAlright, then Brother wouldnât go hungry every day, right? Brother is so pitiful. Why donât they have a holiday?âLi Zekai began to sympathize with his brother.â Grandma Huangâs cooking is so delicious. We canât finish it every day, but brother has to go hungry. Dad, bring brother home.ââ
Li Yanchen did not know whether to laugh or cry.â Big brother wonât starve. I just said that the food in the canteen isnât like what you can choose at home. You have to eat whatever you like in the canteen. Children should eat everything and shouldnât be picky. Of course, itâs understandable that you would occasionally want to eat outside food.â
âOh, itâs good that you wonât be hungry. I eat everything in the canteen. The food in the canteen isnât as good as Grandma Huangâs cooking, but Mi Duo said that we have to eat everything as we grow.âLi Zekai said obediently.
âThatâs right.â Lin Wan patted her little stepsonâs head.
âLetâs go home.â Li Zekai held Lin Wanâs hand.â
âYouâre still thinking about me. Not bad, Li Zekai has grown up.â
âBig Brother, because I have to do my homework too. The teacher said that itâs not a holiday at home and I have to study at home. When I return to school, I have to check my homework. Itâs the same for Brother Xuanxuan. If I donât do it well, I have to ask my parents.â
âWhat are you afraid of? Iâll go.â âI already know about your father.â
âThat wonât do either. Eldest Brother and Second Brotherâs grades are so good. I
donât want to be a bad student.âLi Zekai didnât believe her.
âGo home, go home. Weâll go back now. The child is so eager to improve. Of course, weâll fully support him. âLin Wan opened the car door.
In the Royal Water Bay, Grandma Huang was seriously flipping through the books on the bedside table. She did not know many words. Fortunately, her son had taught her how to look up words when she was studying, so now that she had a dictionary, she could roughly understand the meaning of a sentence. Lin Wan asked her about crops. Other than experience, she also needed to
know the most advanced knowledge.
Auntie Huang, who was wearing presbyopic glasses, looked like a teacher from the 80s and 90s. When Lin Wan arrived home, her glasses were still on her nose.
âAuntie Huang, are you reading?â Lin Wan asked.
Auntie Huang put away her book in embarrassment.âlâm just looking around to kill time. Since youâre back, Iâll heat up a glass of milk for you.â
âNo need. Rest early and Iâll bring you to Xuecheng tomorrow. Iâll get Xuanxuan and Xinxin to pack their bags and go over together..â
