Neighbors are cute today too

Chapter 29 You Are Special
"Sister Xingruo, what else do you want to buy?"

"I'm going to buy some medicinal materials for making soup. You wait for me here, it will be soon!"

She walked into the small shop, chatted with the boss, and took a look at various soup and medicinal materials. Lin Lu was waiting for her at the door with vegetables, quietly watching her figure.

Li Xingruo's talents were brought into full play in this market.

Lin Lu, who knew nothing about grocery shopping and cooking, felt the meaning of the term "sister" from her, and for the first time felt a strange sense of dependence on her.

Like a child, she would tell Lin Lu what this is, what that is, what kind of dishes can be made with this ingredient, and how to make it, and she would also say, "If you want to eat, my sister will make it for you!" '

Lin Lu is not considered an only child, he also has two younger sisters at home, the younger sister is very obedient and clingy to him, she likes him very much, and he also takes extra care of her younger sister.

But when getting along with the younger sisters, compared with getting along with Li Xingruo, the big sister, the experience I can feel is completely different.

After his parents divorced, as a male member who has entered the adult group, the word "dependence" seems to be farther and farther away from him. This experience is strange but familiar to him, like being surrounded by a soft mass. Wrapped in warm water, you can relax your mind and body.

It is probably because of this feeling that the meaning of the term 'sister' is particularly different in his heart.

Just when he was thinking about it, Li Xingruo came out after buying something, as if he was afraid that he would wait too long.

"Is there anything else to buy?"

Lin Lu was about to reach out to pick up the bag in her hand, but Li Xingruo turned around to help him pick up most of the bag in his hand, the heavy weight scratched marks on her delicate fingers.

While searching for the things in the bag, she said, "No, go home and cook."

When she finished speaking, she had twisted out a candied date from a small white plastic bag.

"Hey, this is for you to eat. It's very sweet. This kind of dried candied dates is super sweet when you put some dried longan meat in the soup!"

Lin Lu no longer likes to eat sweet things like he did when he was a child. Bitter melons and the like are more in line with his current taste.

But at this moment, he happily took Li Xingruo's big candied date and ate it into his mouth, feeling like it melted in his mouth together with the "full sister's heart" in it.

"How is it, delicious?" Li Xingruo looked at his reaction expectantly.

"It's delicious!" A large candied date, which cost only a few cents, made Lin Lu feel that it was the best thing he had eaten in recent years.

Li Xingruo was very satisfied with Lin Lu's reaction, and said with a smile, "I liked eating this the most when I was a child. Every time my mother bought me the soup and herbs, I secretly ate candied dates~"

As he said that, Li Xingruo couldn't help putting on the look of "feeling life, my experience is five floors higher than yours" in front of him, and sighed: "Later, when I had pocket money, I bought a lot of candied dates myself. Eat it, but it’s always not as sweet as the ones you ate secretly.”

Lin Lu laughed and said, "Does Sister Xingruo need me to do reading comprehension? Analyze the protagonist's state of mind?"

"You'll understand when you're my age! You, high school, middle school, and student!"

If Li Xing thought about it, he didn't have anything left to buy. He bought a lot this time, and he was pulling Lin Lu to help him buy all the miscellaneous things that he might need in the future.

Just as she was about to go back with her younger brother like the eldest sister, she suddenly couldn't find the direction of the exit of the market, and was suddenly embarrassed.

"Just now we came in through...that door?"

"It's okay to go out from the north gate, follow the high school, middle school, and students! Let's go."

Lin Lu took her out from the nearest north gate, and after walking for a short distance, he finally saw a familiar street, which was faster than returning the same way.

Li Xingruo resigned to her fate, obediently did not speak, put away her thoughts of being a big sister, and followed Lin Lu back obediently. If it were her own, she would definitely have to take out her mobile phone and scratch her head to look at the navigation again.

"Has Miss Xingruo been road-crazy since she was a child?" Lin Lu asked curiously.

"...It's okay, I won't get lost in the small town." Li Xingruo didn't know why, probably the town was too small, and he couldn't get out of the town.

"I just saw that you recognized the booth quite accurately, didn't you?"

"This is different. I don't recognize the location, I recognize the person. Just recognize the person!"

"Is there such a trick?"

"Hmph, it's amazing. I can recognize people very accurately. I can recognize who is who, and so and so at the first sight!" Li Xingruo found something to be proud of, and immediately became confident again.

"Oh—so sister Xingruo looks very human?"

"What is this saying..."

"Do you still remember the day when you first moved here, sister Xingruo? Didn't you ask me how my neighbors were? In fact, I almost forgot what the two families across the street looked like now..."

"No way! Is it because of face blindness..." Li Xingruo was surprised.

"That's not true, I just felt that there would be no intersection, so I didn't bother to remember."

Li Xingruo was stunned, and said narcissistically, "So, sister, I am special in your eyes?"

"very special."

Lin Lu nodded honestly, he had already eaten the big candied dates, and he spoke with the candied dates pit in his mouth.

"Why, why?"

Li Xingruo's softly rounded eyes became curious, as if he was quite surprised that Lin Lu would say such a thing, and in such a serious tone.

"Because—it's special!"

"Tch! Saying it is the same as not saying it!"

The tension in Li Xingruo's expression disappeared as if evaporated by the sun, she smiled relaxedly, and stepped up the steps like a cute little bird.

"By the way, does sister Xingruo have any brothers or sisters?"

"No, I'm the only number in my family."

"Really? I thought you had younger brothers and sisters." Lin Lu was a little surprised. So Li Xingruo was born with this sister fan?But when he heard that she didn't have any younger siblings, he somehow felt a secret joy that he could monopolize a certain emotion, so what kind of reaction was this...

"My mother is not in good health, and I didn't give birth after giving birth. Like our small town, many families have two children."

Li Xingruo looked at him curiously, and asked, "What's the matter? Do you want to recognize me as your sister?"

Lin Lu smiled wickedly, and asked back: "Then if I want to recognize my sister, will sister Xingruo give me free when I make up lessons later?"

"...This is not allowed!"

"Oh, what a pity."

Lin Lu said it was a pity, but there was no pity in his heart, and he continued to stir the candied date pit in his mouth with a relaxed expression.

When the subject of brothers and sisters was mentioned, Lin Lu suddenly remembered something, so he changed the subject and asked, "Can sister Xingruo know how to make ice cream?"

"How did you know I could make ice cream?!"

"... Really?"

"Yes, I can also make cakes, Xue Mei Niang, egg tarts, and many desserts. Why do I suddenly ask this?"

"I just want to eat sister Xingruo's ice cream if I have a chance."

"Okay, but before that..."

The two walked and chatted, and they had already reached the side of the community before they knew it. Li Xingruo was talking when suddenly his eyes were attracted by a small bamboo bush. With a slight waving, the bamboo strips made a buzzing sound——

Lin Lu was stunned, his Adam's apple rolled, and he asked cautiously, "Sister, what are you doing..."

"Hmph, don't forget what I said, I'm very strict in making up lessons for you!"

"...Really fight?"

"No way."

The gentle sister next door suddenly turned into a queen.
