"Wow, you are a high school student." Ruan Ci looked at his childish face and suddenly sighed, "Ah...it's nice to be young."

Tao Lan looked at him suspiciously.

Ruan Ci's beautiful eyes turned into small crescents, and he pouted at Lu Yuqing: "Where did you abduct this little cutie?"

Lu Yuqing raised his eyebrows, and said flatly, "Douzi abducted me."

Ruan Ci blinked his eyes and made a surprised expression.

Tao Lan entered the library one after the other behind Lu Yuqing with a curious expression on his face. Unlike the library in Ninth Middle School, the library of S University is famous all over the country.

It can be seen that Lu Yuqing is very popular, at least he met a lot of classmates who greeted him along the way, and those people more or less cast some inquiring and doubtful eyes on Tao Lan, although Tao Lan tried his best to deal with it with a smile. , but my heart is inevitably a little cramped.

Lu Yuqing stood still suddenly, and Tao Lan bumped into him without noticing for a moment.

"Hmm." Tao Lan subconsciously covered her sore nose, and was about to ask Lu Yuqing what's wrong, when she looked up, she found a girl standing in front of Lu Yuqing.

She has long chestnut hair slightly curly, with Korean-style air bangs, a pure and beautiful face, and a very, very good figure. She smiled like a flower and called Lu Yuqing: "Senior~"

Even someone as dull as Tao Lan realized that something was wrong with the current atmosphere.

He squeezed his fingers, and finally stretched out his hand to pull Lu Yuqing's sleeve, indicating that he could avoid it first.

Lu Yuqing pointed him in the direction of the study room.

Tao Lan took out a book casually, sat by the window and read it absent-mindedly.Lu Yuqing's figure disappeared at the door, and it seemed that he should have gone far away.

It looks like it should be a girlfriend, right?That's right, it would be unbelievable if someone like Lu Yuqing had never been in a relationship before... He blinked and continued to read absently.

Tao Lan waited for a long time for Lu Yuqing to come back, but there was no obvious emotional change on his face, and he still had that gentle and restrained look.

Perhaps it was because the probing meaning in Tao Lan's eyes was too strong, Lu Yuqing deliberately leaned in front of him, with a half-smile: "Is that curious?"

Tao Lan shook his head hastily, and stammered an explanation: "No, no, it's because you've been away for too long that I only saw you."

"Is that your girlfriend?" Tao Lan blinked, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Ah?" Lu Yuqing smiled helplessly, and then explained, "It's just a school girl from a club, and I'm just discussing the cultural festival with me."

She was naturally referring to the long-haired girl just now.

Tao Lan's beautiful big eyes were wide open, and he suddenly heard the meaning behind his words.

"Ah... I'm sorry." Tao Lan apologized nervously, her round and beautiful eyes were soaked in moisture, making them look extra soft.

Lu Yu smiled lightly and shook his head: "No, what's there to apologize for?"

Tao Lan bit her lower lip, but felt a little happy in her heart.

Lu Yuqing accompanied Tao Lan to stroll around the S University, even went to see the auditorium and the basketball court. Tao Lan is a child at heart, and he is very interested in everything after curiosity comes up.

I didn't expect to meet Lu Yuqing's acquaintances on the basketball court.The basketball was going in the direction of Lu Yuqing, but somehow it rolled into Tao Lan's footsteps.

He wanted to pick up the ball, but he didn't expect Lu Yuqing to pick it up in one step, and showed off his turning operation with a little embarrassment.

Tao Lan didn't think he was shy, but he really thought he was amazing, tall and handsome and could play basketball...

A tall, thin boy in a red basketball uniform walked over from the crowd. Lu Yuqing greeted him and passed the ball to him.

Tao Lan also followed Lu Yuqing's line of sight, only to realize that the boy in the basketball uniform was really tall, he felt about the same height as Lu Yuqing.

The boy was wearing a black headband, his hair was pulled up on his forehead, revealing a handsome face with sharp edges.

After receiving the ball, he passed it back to his teammates.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first sentence he spoke would be—"Wow, Senior Lu, is this your little boyfriend?"

Tao Lan was taken aback when he heard the words, then realized belatedly, and raised his eyes to look at the boy in shock.

Lu Yuqing twitched the corner of her mouth, raised her foot and kicked Chi Gaomin mercilessly.

Unexpectedly, Chi Gaomin dodged lightly, and happened to see Tao Lan's little dazed eyes in panic, and he subconsciously squinted his eyes, thoughtful.

Tao Lan cautiously took a half step back, trying to stay away from the boy in front of him who was exuding a difficult aura.

His feelings for Lu Yuqing are not only grateful but also dependent. People who are used to being despised and indifferent always yearn for warm and fiery tenderness.

But there are too few people who can give him warmth in life, grandma is one, and so is Lu Yuqing.

"What are you talking about, you, this is my brother." Lu Yuqing's slightly smiling voice sounded in Tao Lan's ear, making Tao Lan purse his lips unconsciously.

"Oh~" Chi Gaomin deliberately lowered his voice, bent his body slightly, and turned his face to look at Tao Lan.

"Wow, it's white and soft, I like it." When Chi Gaomin said this, he suddenly walked forward and reached out to pinch Tao Lan's face, and brushed Tao Lan's long hair in front of his forehead very familiarly .

The boy's movements were too fast, so startled that Tao Lan fled half a step back in fear.

Tao Lan subconsciously fled to hide behind Lu Yuqing, glaring slightly angrily at the boy in front of him with a naughty smile.

Seeing his reaction, Chi Gaomin raised his eyebrows, then smiled and withdrew his hand.

Lu Yuqing mercilessly gave him an elbow. Although his tone was still casual, his light brown eyes were full of seriousness: "I said he is my younger brother, so don't try to think about him."

Chi Gaomin gave an inexplicable ah, shrugged his shoulders and said nothing more.

-------------------------------------

The two of them wandered around until the afternoon before Tao Lan got ready to go home.

Lu Yuqing originally wanted to invite him to dinner again, but in this case, Tao Lan felt that he had been spending the whole day for dinner, and he didn't feel very good. So far, Lu Yuqing took a step back and said to send Tao Lan home.

"Is that person your roommate too?" Tao Lan suddenly asked when he was about to get home.

"Huh?" Lu Yuqing turned to look at him, and after thinking for a while, realized that the person Tao Lan was referring to was Chi Gaomin.

"No, he is a student from the Department of Physical Education. You don't have to pay too much attention to what he said. He just runs the train with his mouth full." Lu Yuqing smiled with her lips curled up, and took advantage of her height to look at Tao Lan, who was fluffy and soft hair, "but remember to stay away from him."

Tao Lan subconsciously nodded and said yes without asking why.

Lu Yuqing's eyes are rather long, with slightly pointed tails but not sharp enough, so they can't be called standard peach blossom eyes, but when he smiles, those eyes are particularly attractive.

"Agreed without asking why?"

Tao Lan let out a soft ah, and belatedly said, "Then...why?"

Lu Yuqing seemed to be amused by his reaction, but his tone was more serious than before: "He likes boys, and he is very playful, and you happen to be the type he likes. I'm afraid you will be fooled by him."

Tao Lan froze for a moment, looked at him for a while, hesitant to speak, and finally turned his head and said softly "um".

Just when Lu Yuqing sent the man to the gate of the community and was about to leave, Tao Lan suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"Brother Lu." Tao Lan pursed his lower lip and called softly.

Lu Yuqing was a little taken aback, he didn't expect Tao Lan to touch him actively, his beautiful smiling eyes were slightly bent: "What's wrong?"

"I'll treat you to dinner when I have time." Tao Lan raised his face to look at him, his almond-shaped eyes were slightly watery, "You just choose the location. I'm rich, so you don't have to worry about it."

"I'm not going to ask high school students to spend pocket money to support me." Lu Yuqing laughed shortly, and slowly restrained her expression when she saw Tao Lan's serious appearance, "And you are not living with your aunt now. Home, how can I ask you to spend money in this situation. "

Lu Yuqing naturally understood what the embarrassment and embarrassment on the child's face meant when he sent Tao Lan home for the first time. It is naturally not easy to live under the fence of others.

"Uh." Tao Lan blinked his eyes at a loss, as if he didn't expect Lu Yuqing to mention this matter, and the thin white fingers grasping the hem of Lu Yuqing's clothes became more and more cramped.

Lu Yuqing pursed her lips and smiled, and tried to pat Tao Lan's shoulder reassuringly, and said, "Forget it, don't go home, Brother Lu will take you to eat delicious food."

Seeing that Tao Lan seemed to no longer resist his touch, he rubbed the boy's head subconsciously.

The two went to Haidilao in a nearby shopping mall, and they clearly said they didn't want to eat, but in the end Tao Lan couldn't refuse Lu Yuqing.

The two of them were talking face to face, and the steam from the hot pot was steaming up. Tao Lan was a little dazed looking at the bottom of the boiling tomato pot.

"My father is gone." Tao Lan lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about what to say, "My mother also remarried and left here, and I have been living with my grandma since then. I know she thinks I'm an idiot, and so is , taking me will only cause trouble for her."

Lu Yuqing frowned slightly, looking at Tao Lan's pale face, she felt a little uncomfortable.

When I saw Tao Lan for the first time, I could tell that the child looked malnourished, and even his hair was unhealthy yellowish.

"When did it happen?"

Tao Lan pursed his lower lip, then smiled with relief: "I was just in the third year of junior high."

"Actually, I understand why my mother doesn't want me. Because I'm disabled." Tao Lan reached out and pinched the lobe of her right ear, her eyes dimmed, "I can't hear with my right ear. If you stand on the right and talk to me, I probably didn't react at all."

The depression between Lu Yuqing's eyebrows became more and more intense: "What's going on, is it a medical accident?"

Tao Lan nodded, but quickly shook his head slightly: "It doesn't matter. It was when my parents were in the fourth grade of elementary school. My parents quarreled so much that they quarreled all the way to the stairs outside. I just wanted to separate them and let them go." They stopped arguing and were accidentally pushed downstairs. This is the aftereffect."
