Pretending to be cute

When Li Mi changed into her nightgown and came out, Xiao Ling was already sleeping soundly under the quilt.

Li Mi tugged on the transparent shoulder strap, his expression relaxed a little.She didn't know whether she should be thankful that Xiao Ling couldn't see the nightdress, or whether she should have made such a long mental preparation in vain.Although the two have lived together for a long time, Li Mi has always paid attention to his usual dress and manner, for fear of setting a bad example for Xiao Ling.

As a result, this is the first time Li Mi has worn such a thin nightgown in several years, and more importantly, it is Xiao Ling's nightgown... But why did this child fall asleep on her bed?

Li Mi walked lightly to the side of the bed, carefully pulled off the quilt, revealing Xiao Ling's covered face.The weather is hot now, even though the air conditioner is turned on in the room, Xiao Ling's face is still smothered red, like a ripe apple.

Still the same as before, the corner of Li Mi's mouth curved slightly.She leaned down, covered Xiao Ling's exposed calf, then tucked in the quilt, turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and turned off all the lights.

Just about to go to another bed to sleep, the girl's sleepy voice came: "Sister Li..."

"Sorry, woke you up?"

"No, I had a dream and woke up."

Li Mi's heart moved, and he asked softly: "Today's movie was very bloody, did you have nightmares because you were frightened?"

In the past, when we were at home, the two of us often watched movies together, as well as TV dramas and animations.When encountering a funny scene, the two of them laughed out loud, and when encountering a sad scene, Li Mi shed tears silently, and Xiao Ling handed over the paper.

However, they basically don't touch themes of horror, horror, and bloody violence.To be precise, it is because Li Mi thinks that these things will lead to the child's growth path, so he doesn't read them at all, even with Xiao Ling, he doesn't read much.

Not many, but still a few times.Although Xiao Ling is very calm every time, Li Mi always feels that his little girl is very afraid of these things, just that kind of fear, not the fear of screaming, but the fear hidden in her heart.

Thinking of this, Li Mi turned his legs, walked to Xiao Ling's bed, and sat down: "Don't be afraid, I will be by your side tonight."

"I know. It's just sister Li, have you forgotten the old rules?" Xiao Ling lifted the quilt and wrapped his arms around Li Mi's neck from behind.The nightdresses of each other are very thin, and the hands can clearly feel the temperature of Li Mi's skin, because they have just taken a shower, and the clothes are still slightly damp.

Compared with the hug in the movie theater separated by two layers of clothes, this kind of touch is more real, and it also adds a hint of ambiguity.The girl's warm breath, her soft and boneless arms, and the softness on her back... Li Mi froze, and suddenly had the illusion that their skin was touching.

In order to overcome this inexplicable illusion, Li Mi coughed and leaned forward a little: "W-what rules?"

Xiao Ling snorted, pointed his finger at his forehead, and said quietly: "Kiss. ​​Before going to bed every night, you would kiss here and say good night to me. I remember you told me that as long as you kiss , I can sleep well...Is this a lie?"

These childish words made Li Mi's strange feeling disappear.She patted Xiao Ling's head and smiled lightly: "When have I ever lied to you, kid."

The woman's tone is light, but very doting, like lukewarm water, tasteless, but it is the most gentle gift of life, what is gained is meager, and what is lost is fatal.

What followed was a kiss on the back of the hand.Gently, softly, printed on the hand, also printed on the heart.

Xiao Ling let go of Li Mi, leaned back slightly, his voice trembling unconsciously: "This time, it's today. But Sister Li, I've been away for three years, three years is not a leap year, it's 95 days, this year's arrival It was 280 days until yesterday, so you owe me a total of 370 five kisses."

After a long silence, Li Mi asked, "Ah Ling, do I owe you, or do you owe me?"

Xiao Ling was sad.

In any case, the fact that she left Li Mi for three years is a certainty.She was the one who decided to study abroad, it was her who hadn't come back to see Li Mi for three years, and it was her who deliberately alienated Li Mi.

Her sister Li still blames her.

Xiao Ling got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked in front of Li Mi.The lights in the room were not turned on, and fortunately the curtains were not drawn yet. Xiao Ling groped through the dim moonlight outside, firstly the not-so-broad shoulders, then the fragile neck, and the smooth chin...

When he finally held Li Mi's face in his hands, Xiao Ling lowered his head and kissed her forehead devoutly.

"Sister Li, remember it. I owe you 370 four relatives. You can blame me and be angry with me until I pay it off. But..." Xiao Ling paused and rubbed against Li Mi. softly and coquettishly, "I'm really afraid of that movie during the day, I want you to hug me to sleep, okay?"

For a long time, Li Mi didn't respond, as if he was thinking about something.Xiao Ling was very disappointed, but he also knew that he was too greedy, and said in a low voice: "Ah, it seems that I am not very afraid, Sister Li should go back to sleep, I myself..."

What answered her was a slight depression around her.

"Sleep, little ancestor."

The little ancestor's heart relaxed, and he rolled into Li Mi's warm arms, hugging her tightly: "Sister Li is the best."

"If you make me angry, you'll know what to say. I'm sure I'll forgive you?" Li Mi pulled up the quilt and asked Xiao Ling to put her head on the pillow, so as not to have a stiff neck the next day. It's one o'clock."

Xiao Ling slept on the pillow, trying to keep her tone consistent: "There is one thing. Sister Li, I am also on vacation tomorrow. When will you finish your work, I will wait for you to have dinner together."

Li Mi was silent for a while, and refused: "No need, I have a lot of work tomorrow, and I guess it will be very late. It's rare for you to have a vacation, it's fun, and I will come to you in two days."

Xiao Ling's heart sank, and he wanted to ask Li Mi if he wanted to spend Qixi Festival with someone, and if he had someone he liked, but she swallowed the words before he could speak them.

As early as several years ago, Li Mi was pursued by various men and women, and when the strange elder took her light bulb away, she knew that she had no position to stop it.

Because she is young, because she is nothing.

"I see, Sister Li, good night." Xiao Ling said softly as if she didn't feel any pain as her fingernails sank into her palm.

"Well, Ann."

The next day.

Before dawn, Li Mi woke up.She has very few vacations in the true sense, so she has no habit of sleeping in, and she can wake up very early even without an alarm clock.She looked at the girl who was still sleeping soundly in her arms, her expression softened.

After a simple wash, Li Mi folded a thousand paper cranes on the table, and took the bag out of the room.

"Mr. Li?"

Li Mi followed the prestige and found that it was Lin Ge.

Lin Ge was originally standing at the door of Li Mi's room waiting for Li Mi, seeing her come out of Xiao Ling's room next door, as if she had stayed all night, the groundhog in her heart screamed crazily.As he walked over, Lin Ge suddenly noticed with sharp eyes that Li Mi's dark circles were a bit heavy today, and he couldn't completely cover them up with concealer.

Lin Ge's hulking body shook, and he covered the corners of his mouth that were crazily raised.

Li Mi saw that his assistant covered his mouth and did not speak, but his eyes became more and more strange, and he was very confused: "What's wrong with you?"

Lin Ge: "No, no, hehehehehehehe."

Li Mi:? ? ?

"Okay, let's get in the car first. Have you refueled?" Li Mi looked at the time and walked towards the hall without further delay.

When it comes to business, Lin Ge also became serious: "The staff of the hydropower station have helped us refuel, Mr. Li, your work schedule today is..."

After Lin Ge finished reporting one by one, Li Mi nodded: "I have something to do in the evening, so the safety inspection work will be postponed to next Tuesday, and the rest of the work will remain unchanged."

"Today, tonight?"

"Well, is there a problem?"

Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, no wonder workaholics will be passive and sabotage because of child brides-in-law.Lin Ge quickly shook his head and smirked happily: "No problem, hehehehehehe."

Li Mi: "..."

Did she give the assistant too much work?

"By the way, Mr. Li, for this afternoon's meeting, Brilliant will join temporarily. Miss Fu asked me to tell you that she will go there with Mr. Fu's people."

Fu Qiuyue and Fu Qiudial?Coincidentally, she was looking for them.Li Mi nodded, without stopping: "Understood, let's go."

The sun was high, and the sun was so hot that it was almost noon in summer. Even a layer of curtains could not block the bright sunlight.The person on the bed seemed to feel something, opened his eyes, yawned and sat up, looked at the empty seat beside him, and gradually regained consciousness.

She didn't sleep all night last night, and fell asleep in a daze in the morning, and she didn't even know when Li Mi left.Xiao Ling rubbed his sleepy hair, put on his shoes and got out of bed, ready to wash up, then inadvertently glanced at the thousand paper cranes on the bedside table.

No need to think about it, everyone knows who left it.

The corner of Xiao Ling's mouth was lightly raised, and he carefully opened the paper crane, and found a line of words inside - remember to eat breakfast.This sentence was just an ordinary greeting, but it miraculously dispelled the haze that had shrouded my heart for one night.

She folded the paper crane back as it was, and moved slowly, as if she was touching the remaining temperature on the paper, or feeling the traces of time.

Ten years ago, when Xiao Ling was in elementary school, she was not afraid of mathematics and English classes, except for the handicraft class twice a week.She is not good at handicrafts, and the bunnies and little yellow chickens that other children can easily make can only be nondescript and nondescript.

At first, everyone did their own thing. Xiao Ling had a good temper and didn't mind being laughed at by his classmates.Later, in order to encourage children to learn to cooperate and communicate, the manual teacher divided each manual homework into groups and asked the groups to score and comment on each other.

Originally this was nothing, but because of Xiao Ling, every time her group scored lower than other groups, as time passed, the students complained.

When the teacher found out that something was wrong, no group was willing to ask for Xiao Ling. The students all called her a manual idiot and assigned her to a special group.

There is only one person in that group.

Children are very fragile, plus Xiao Ling has been sensitive since she was a child, so she didn't say anything when she was squeezed out like this, but she just became more resistant to the handicraft class.One day after school, Li Mi took Xiao Ling home and overheard someone calling Xiao Ling an idiot for handicrafts. Frightened and furious, he found the teacher and learned the real reason why the child was depressed during this time.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling didn't know what Li Mi had said to the teacher, but the teacher obviously became better towards her, so nice even a little abnormally.She matured earlier than her peers, and she knew this behavior, and it had a name called compensation.

That night, Li Mi asked Xiao Ling, "Do you want to learn handcraft together?"

Xiao Ling wanted to say no, but the temptation to study with her favorite sister Li was too great, so she hesitated again.After thinking for a long time, she grabbed Li Mi's hand and replied softly, "Okay."

So, no matter how busy he was at work, Li Mi would set aside a period of time every day to do handicrafts with Xiao Ling.Li Mi is stupider than Xiao Ling, and the little bear he made looks like a puppy, and the puppy looks like a kitten. In the end, the house is filled with a bunch of different shapes, big and small. flow factory.

One month later, Xiao Ling's handicraft "Rainbow Curtain of Paper Cranes" won the first prize of the whole grade, and the work was exhibited in a glass cabinet in the school.The colorful paper cranes were about to fly, no one dared to laugh at Xiao Ling, and no one called her a handicraft idiot.

The little girl came home with the certificate, and the first thing she did was to take a pen and add a few words crookedly on the certificate.

When Li Mi came home from get off work, the little girl threw herself into Li Mi's arms, and read out the content of the certificate loudly and proudly: "Li Mi and Xiao Ling won the honors in the handicraft competition of the first semester of xx - xx No.1, I am issuing this certificate as an encouragement."

Xiao Ling couldn't remember what Li Mi said later, the only thing he remembered was the lifelike thousand paper cranes and his always gentle smile.

She thought, maybe Li Mi didn't know until now, besides the implication of blessing, the thousand paper cranes also symbolized the love of a couple for a lifetime.

The author has something to say: the case has been solved, and the one who confessed first was Dudou Li.
