Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 29 The embarrassing dinner party that was planned to participate in
Since he closed the courtyard door that day, Ni Manhua seemed to have blocked Lu Guanhai from his own world. They never saw each other again for the rest of the summer vacation.

Ni Manhua heard from Zhan Ping that Lu Guanhai's mother had undergone surgery and he was taken care of in the hospital every day. He took time off from classes and school on weekends, so he didn't need to attend morning self-study or the last self-study class in the afternoon. Because he was going to the hospital to deliver food to his mother.

The other four people had discussed in the group about visiting Lu Guanhai's mother. Ni Manhua didn't say anything. Later, when Zhan Ping asked her in person at school, she was silent for a long time and didn't know how to answer.

Zhan Ping asked tentatively: "Manman, did something happen between you and Lu Guanhai? I played games with Shou Monkey and the others a few days ago, and they said that Lu Guanhai was not in a good mood recently."

Ni Manhua briefly recounted what happened that day to Zhan Ping, and Zhan Ping reacted greatly: "Your mother is going too far, even a calf protector wouldn't be so hurtful! And that old nerve, how old is he to file a complaint? !”

Ni Manhua sighed and said: "Lu Guanhai must be very sad, but...since the matter has come to this, why not let him digest it slowly, maybe time can dilute this, and there will be nothing between him and me in the future." Intersected.”

"What kind of logic are you talking about? I'm going to scold you for thinking this way." Zhan Ping stretched out her index finger and tapped Ni Manhua's forehead: "Even if you don't like him, from the perspective of a friend, it's you who caused it to him. Hurt. If you don’t make up for it, are you still thinking of letting him go by himself? Do you know whether his ability to bear it is good or bad? Will this leave any psychological shadow on him? "

The way Zhan Ping spoke at this time was very similar to the way teachers in various subjects usually lectured her.

Ni Manhua didn't know how to explain to Zhan Ping. She knew that Lu Guanhai's mental endurance was actually not good, because he kept everything in his heart. She knew that Lu Guanhai was fragile and knew that he needed some comfort at this time.But stopping to disturb Lu Guanhai and keeping a distance from him is what Ni Manhua should do now.

She comes from the future, and her purpose in coming to this time and space is to draw a clear line with him.

Ni Manhua hesitated and said: "Pingping, I really don't want to meet him now. Don't you think... it will be awkward between us..."

"What's embarrassing? Everyone has nothing to be embarrassed about." Zhan Ping never liked to chirp, she interrupted Ni Manhua impatiently: "I didn't ask you to kneel and kowtow, well, we are friends, as long as You expressed your stance, which proves that you and your family have different ideas, and he will definitely get better soon."

Ni Manhua still disagreed with Zhan Ping's idea, but when the bell rang, Ni Manhua had no way to discuss it with her and come up with a result.

Later, Zhan Ping tried to drag Ni Manhua to see Lu Guanhai several times, but Ni Manhua shied away with various reasons. Zhan Ping was a little angry, but he only punched her lightly, so that she would not be forced to take her away. Walk.

On the day when school starts reporting, all classes report in the morning, clean up in the afternoon, and finish at four o'clock.Zhan Ping used to be lazy during general cleaning, but this time she became more active and did the work at hand very efficiently.

Ni Manhua held the broom and watched her step on the stool to clean the fan: "Be careful, what happened to you today."

"I'm in a hurry. Didn't you read the messages in the group?"

Lu Guanhai's mother was discharged from the hospital today. In order to thank everyone for their care during this period, Lu Guanhai invited them to dinner in the evening.

But this has nothing to do with Ni Manhua. She did not participate in their efforts and should not receive anything in return from him.

Ni Manhua said "Oh" softly and wanted to go elsewhere, but suddenly realized something and stopped.Lu Guanhai's mother's surgery almost used up all their family's savings. It was difficult for him to even pay tuition, so why would he spend money to treat them to dinner.

Ni Manhua tugged on Zhan Ping's trouser legs and motioned for her to come down to talk. After Zhan Ping climbed off the table, Ni Manhua asked him in a low voice: "Did Lu Guanhai propose the treat? Has he... paid his tuition?" "

"Fuck it, don't you care about him? Why did you act so indifferent just now?" Zhan Ping looked at Ni Manhua and gave her an unclear look: "I worked part-time for primary school students during the summer vacation. Tutoring homework, but now there is a deposit."

That's it... Ni Manhua lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly.It seems that without her delay, Lu Guanhai could accomplish many things by himself during his youth when he was growing up alone.

After Ni Manhua was almost done, he received a call from Lai Hongtu. After Lai Hongtu threw the thunder at their house, he ran to Beijing. Ni Manhua still hasn't settled the score with him.

Lai Hongtu said on the phone that she was near their school and would pick her up later.Ni Manhua agreed, put down his tools and washed his hands. Zhan Ping had also finished cleaning up.When they arrived at the corridor, both science and technology classes were already empty. Zhan Ping sighed: "It's good to have more boys in the class, and the hygiene can be done quickly."

"Are you looking for them now? My uncle is here to pick me up and take you home." Lu Guanhai decided to eat near his home, which was also the direction Ni Manhua went home.If Zhan Ping goes back to her home, she usually has to take seven bus stops, which is not close, so no matter what, Ni Manhua feels that she should be seen off.

Zhan Ping hugged Ni Manhua's shoulders and smiled playfully: "Can't I go to your house and sit there?"

Ni Manhua allowed Zhan Ping to put all the weight of his body on her. After leaving the school, Lai Hongtu was waiting at the school gate. When he saw the postures of the two of them, he let out a "tsk": "Hey, little girl, you have no bones." Really? Don’t ruin my family."

"Don't worry, your Manman family is not that fragile. Oh my god, are you all so busy in scientific research? It took 24 hours for me to send you a message before you responded."

Ni Manhua was a little surprised when she heard Zhan Ping's words. She didn't expect the two people to exchange contact information so quickly. It turned out that they were already in sync with each other at this time. Ni Manhua used to only focus on his own affairs and didn't even notice. Clues.

Zhan Ping and Lai Hongtu couldn't hold back as soon as they started talking to each other. It was like they were talking about cross talk. Ni Manhua was not interested in participating, so he closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair to relax.

After a while, Lai Hongtu drove the car to a road that Ni Manhua was familiar with and stopped. This road was where Lai Hongtu liked to take Ni Manhua when she was young. Ni Manhua had almost eaten in all the restaurants in this area.

Lai Hongtu parked the car and asked them to get out. Ni Manhua frowned and asked, "Uncle, aren't we going home?"

"What's the hurry? I'll buy you some coffee."

Lai Hongtu likes to drink coffee, and Ni Manhua likes to drink milk tea. Their tastes are not right, but Ni Manhua still follows.Unexpectedly, after going down, they saw the four of them, Lu Guanhai, standing downstairs of the Western restaurant they often went to not far away.

Ni Manhua froze on the spot. She took out her phone to check the time, but found that there were messages in the group that she had not received.In the car, Zhan Ping sent a message: "I won't be eating fried noodles tonight. I'm going to eat Western food. Don't ask. It's because of Sister Man that I'm asking."

Ni Manhua turned to look at Zhan Ping: "What's going on?"

Zhan Ping shrugged: "Ask the old man, after my spiritual baptism during this period, he has realized that he has made an unforgivable mistake, and decided to make amends and give his soul a chance to reshape."

Lai Hongtu couldn't help laughing: "What you said means I should be grateful to you."
