After being reborn, I found out that my deskmate was secretly in love with me

Chapter 38

"what?"

Tao Xinyi suddenly turned her head to look at the name of the station scrolling on the bus notice board. After two stops, she suddenly became sober.

When the bus arrived at the next stop, Tao Xinyi hurriedly got off the bus, looking blankly at the unfamiliar things around her. She looked at Lu Ming like a child who had done something wrong and said, "What a bad luck. Where is this?"

Lu Ming looked at the place name written on the platform, and said, "Jinhu Road. It's okay, you can definitely go home with me."

Jinhu Road is just a small station, there is not even a billboard on the platform, only a sign.There are no shops around, only green belts and roads, and even pedestrians are rare.

There are only two options before them, one is to go to the opposite side and wait for the bus to get back to the missed stop, and the other is to take a taxi.

But Tao Xinyi was very motion sick, so Lu Ming directly chose the second plan, which saved her from having to transfer twice in the end.

It may be that the location is too remote, the traffic on the road is very sparse, and only occasionally buses pass by, and even private cars are rarely seen. It may be that it happened to be near the suburbs.

Lu Ming was not familiar with this place, so he could only lead Tao Xinyi back according to his memory, and he couldn't help but miss the future navigation APP and taxi-hailing software APP.

They walked slowly, with a breeze blowing head-on, and the "rustling sound" of leaves rubbing against each other.

Tao Xinyi's symptoms of motion sickness were relieved a lot. She caught a glimpse of a park not far away and a green lake. She said with a little surprise: "Jinhu Road, there is really a lake here. Let's go and have a look!"

"Okay, but aren't you in a hurry to go home? It's getting dark soon."

Lu Ming stretched out his hand to brush the hanging wicker and turned to look at her. His stomach actually made a "gurgling" sound at this moment, and the originally romantic and ambiguous scene became a little funny.

"You're hungry, and it's past six o'clock in the afternoon."

Tao Xinyi couldn't help laughing, took out a bag of bread and mineral water from the handbag and handed it to Lu Ming, raised his eyebrows proudly, and said, "I have bread, eat it!"

"Why do you carry bread with you?"

Lu Ming took the bread, tore open the package and took a bite. The taste of the flour was very plain and not too sweet.Today, they came out to visit Li Xingzhou, why did Tao Xinyi bring bread and water?

"Because, this is my dinner." As she spoke, Tao Xinyi lowered her eyes, took out a dorayaki from her handbag, and nibbled on it: "This is my lunch."

"Most of the time I am alone at home. If I don't want to cook, I just eat bread. Sometimes I will sit under the tree with the bread. It is best to be an old tree with lush branches and leaves and a thick trunk."

Lu Ming felt that Tao Xinyi was very sad, so he went over and rubbed her head.

He can't help her solve family problems now, so he can only wait for the future before making plans.

"Let's go to the park. Lin Xuan will eat with you at school. You can ask me to eat with you after school."

Tao Xinyi nodded silently, pretending to casually reach out to straighten her hair, touched his fingertips and quickly parted, opened her mouth several times to say something, but closed it again.

The park is much more lively than the sidewalk. There are many old people walking by the lake, and some old people are dancing in the square in a slightly open area. The high-pitched dance music of "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" by Feng Huang can be heard in the distance.

They were walking along the lakeside, watching the sky gradually darken and the reflection of the bright moon appearing on the water.

Lu Ming occasionally became interested in making a splash, bent down to pick up a stone, adjusted his posture, waved the stone with a wave of his hand, and nine water splashes popped out, startling birds to fly across the shore.

"I haven't shaken it for many years, and it's a little rusty. It turns out that I remember being able to throw more than a dozen splashes."

"Wow! You're so good!" Tao Xinyi looked at Lu Ming with some surprise, his eyes eager to try: "I haven't hit the water before, teach me."

"Okay."

Lu Ming taught Tao Xinyi how to splash water until her arms started to feel sore after she was able to throw three or four splashes. He walked back, chatting with her one after another, and gradually lost track of time.

In the end, they didn't take a taxi home until after nine o'clock in the evening.

It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when he got home. Lu Ming opened the door and saw Meng Ruohua sitting on the sofa with a straight face. The TV was not turned on, and he turned to look at him.

"You told me you were going to see your classmates, but did you say that from ten o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening? Did the male classmate watch you for so long?"

The calm tone concealed murderous intent, suppressing the old mother's anger.

Lu Ming didn't answer for a while. He didn't know if his father had told his mother what he had discovered. If he spoke rashly, he might just be attacking without a fight, so he remained silent.He didn't know his mother's attitude towards him and Tao Xinyi.

But according to common sense, the vast majority of parents would be against it, even the very open-minded Lu Guofu disagreed.

Besides, he has nothing to do with Tao Xinyi in the final analysis, and what he wants is a matter of the future.

Seeing that his son didn't talk to him, Meng Ruohua became even more angry. He slapped the table and shouted: "Do you know how worried mom is about you! If you don't go home in the middle of the night and don't take your mobile phone with you, how can I know where you went to play! I am Fairy!"

"I understand that I want to play games after the midterm exam, but don't you have a computer at home? Isn't it good for you to play games at home? You must go to an Internet cafe to play!"

In Meng Ruohua's eyes, her son only has games in his eyes, and it is impossible for her son to be enlightened about things like falling in love.

Seeing that the game had taken the blame, Lu Ming immediately went down the steps: "Mom, I won't do this next time, I promise."

"Hey, I've heard your promise too many times. It's just that next time you bring your phone."

Meng Ruohua stood up, took out the flip phone and handed it to Lu Ming, and said wearily, "You went to the Internet cafe all night when you were a sophomore in high school, and Mom stayed up all night, asking everywhere where you were."

Lu Ming took the warm phone and must have held it in Meng Ruohua's hand for a long time, seeing the bloodshot eyes in her eyes.

Guilt crawled into his heart, gnawing at his flesh like an insect, stinging painfully.

To be honest, when he accompanied Tao Xinyi to the park, he forgot who he was now, and suddenly forgot that he was still under the care of his parents, thinking that he was at the age of 28 and had no one to control him.

Lu Ming kicked the phone into his pocket: "Mom, I'm sorry. I've grown up, don't worry about me."

"Yes, you have grown up. At least you know you won't stay in the Internet cafe all night."

Meng Ruohua's tone was a bit resentful, but her face improved a lot. She took out the remote control and turned on the TV to watch the palace drama with gusto.Before her son came back, she couldn't watch TV at all. She turned around and asked, "Why don't you watch TV with mom for a while to relax."

Watching the convoluted conversation between the two women in palace attire on TV, Lu Ming had no choice but to refuse and went back to his room to study, but sometimes he was distracted.

She won't be interrogated by her parents when she goes home, will she?
Lu Ming struggled for 30 seconds, turned on the computer and logged on to QQ, and sent a message to Tao Xinyi, "Have you been asked since you got home?".
