MPFLM Chapter 8

 


  The next day is the weekend. Pei Lu called Li Jun up early. Li Jun yawned and said to him: "Good morning."

  Because of what happened last night, Pei Lu was still a little uncomfortable, so he replied awkwardly, "Good morning."

  Li Jun acted as if nothing had happened. After washing and packing the necessary clothes, he turned to Pei Lu and said, "Let's go."

  Li Jun's mother, Wen Wan, had just returned from Hongfu Temple. She believed in Buddhism. Since the year of Li Jun's accident, she would spend a month every year going to the temple to chant sutras and pray for her son. Although Li Jun is not close to his mother due to personality reasons, he can still feel Wen Wan's care and love for her, so he just received a call from Li Qingyi yesterday, and today he packed his luggage and prepared to go home.

  However, when you go home, you should take the people you should take with you. Moreover, out of a secret psychology of showing off, Li Jun also really wants his mother to see the person he likes.

  Pei Lu had just opened a box of yogurt when he heard Li Jun's words. He bit the straw and asked vaguely: "Aren't you going home? What should I do?"

  Li Jun frowned, "Don't you want to meet my mother?"

  "..." Pei Lu almost choked on his yogurt and refused: "You are a family reunited. It would be inappropriate for me to disturb you. You go back first and I will come find you another day."

  "Let's go together." Li Jun pursed his lips, put down his luggage, stood straight in front of Pei Lu, and looked down at him condescendingly.

  Here it comes again... Pei Lu shrank his neck, feeling scared unconsciously, and his voice became weaker by a degree, "Still... not."

Li Jun stared at him for a while and suddenly said, "But... I want you to meet my mother." His voice was a little low, and his bangs covered his eyebrows, making him look a little pitiful.

  Pei Lu immediately relented. He was just going to meet the parents of the students. There was nothing to feel guilty about. The mouth is always faster than the brain. "Okay, then I'll go back with you."

  Pei Lu regretted it as soon as he said it.

  Li Jun, who looked pitiful just now, smiled at him, buried his head in his neck and rubbed his face affectionately, "Teacher, you are so kind."

  Pei Lu held the good guy card and burst into tears.

  666 watched with cold eyes as Pei Lu sold himself out.

  He just looked at me and said nothing :)

  The driver is already waiting downstairs.

  Li Jun put his luggage in the trunk, then sat in the back seat with Pei Lu, and the driver drove them to Li's house...

  Pei Lu clenched his fingers, with a confused look on his face, and hesitated several times. He really wanted to say that I might as well not go...but every time the words came to his lips, Li Jun would give him a "teacher, you are so kind" look.

  Pei Lu then forcefully swallowed the words that came to his lips.

  After going back and forth several times, Pei Lu didn't say anything out loud until he arrived at the gate of Li's house, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in with Li Jun.

  "Teacher Xiao Meng?" Li Jun's mother greeted him gently.

  As her name suggests, she is a very gentle woman with a soft appearance and a gentle voice. Pei Lu was very fond of her when he first saw her.

  "Hello, aunt." Pei Lu greeted politely.

  Wen Wan chuckled, looking forward to seeing such a well-behaved boy like Pei Lu, "We, Li Jun, have troubled you during this time."

  Pei Lu shook his head, "No, no, Li Jun is easy to get along with."

  Wen Wan looked at him in surprise and saw that his expression was not strong, so she couldn't help but laugh, "You are the first teacher to evaluate Li Jun like this."

  Pei Lu scratched his cheek, not knowing how to continue, so he had to keep smiling.

  Wen Wan smiled even more happily, and inadvertently glanced at her son's expression. She paused slightly, and when she looked carefully, she found that Li Jun's face was still expressionless, so she thought she had seen it wrong, and turned around to continue chatting with Pei Lu.

  Li Jun was sitting next to him, listening to the two chatting with a sullen face.

  Pei Lu looked cute and answered gentle questions politely. This may be a common problem among women of this age. Even the most elegant and knowledgeable women will become chatty when they meet the juniors they like.

  A series of questions such as "How old are you this year?" "Do you have a girlfriend?" "Are you looking for a job?" etc. made Pei Lu break into a cold sweat. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, and Pei Lu couldn't help but secretly kicked Li Jun.

  What are you doing just sitting there? Spread the firepower, brother!

  Li Jun is as motionless as a mountain.

  Pei Lu smiled on his face and stepped on Li Jun hard again, especially hard!

  "Mom." Maybe Pei Lu stepped too hard, or maybe Li Jun's conscience hurt, so he finally spoke.

  "Eh," Wen Wan responded, looking at Li Jun excitedly. His son rarely called anyone.

  "..." Faced with Wen Wan's expectant eyes, Li Jun was silent, thought for a while and then said, "Eat first."

  Wen Wan's expression paused for a moment, and then she looked at Li Jun in surprise. She felt that her son had changed a lot after not seeing him for a month.

  "Okay, I'll call your dad, and you greet Xiaoyue."

  Within a short time of meeting each other, the title had changed from "Teacher Xiao Meng" to "Xiaoyue". It was obvious that Wen Wan was very satisfied with Pei Lu, and Li Jun's lips curled up reservedly, and he was also very satisfied.

  There were two more people left in the living room, and Pei Lu subconsciously moved to the other side.

  "Sit here." Li Jun frowned and stretched out his arm to pull Pei Lu back, who was trying to sit far away. Their legs were touching each other and their arms were touching. Li Jun narrowed his eyes with satisfaction.

  "..." Pei Lu twisted his body, his face full of reluctance, but he couldn't resist Li Jun, so he had to secretly sulk in his heart.

  "Did he grow up eating food? Why is he so strong?!" Pei Lu was unhappy. The difference in strength was so huge that he felt very insecure.

  666 rarely hangs up and replies very quickly. "Dear~ I can smell your sour smell through the screen."

  Pei Lu was angry, "Where are you from?!" How do you know how to slap someone in the mouth?

  666 curled his lips, "Whoever gives me a five-star review is from that side, dear~"

  "Do you still want to show off?" Pei Lu was dumbfounded, "Is it so difficult for you to do business now?" He was so disappointed in getting good reviews.

  666 snorted arrogantly, "Our AI is so direct, dear~"

  "..." Pei Lu felt that he couldn't explain this nonsense at all, so he had to shut his mouth silently and immerse himself in the weird atmosphere again.

  Wen Wan and Li Qingyi went downstairs together, and saw that the two of them were close to each other, arms touching arms, thighs touching thighs. Even if there was no communication, there was a strange atmosphere between the two.

  "Honey, why do I feel like there's something wrong with the two of them getting along?" Wen Wan and Li Qingyi bit their ears, their slender eyebrows furrowed, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

  Even Wen Wan couldn't tell, and Li Qingyi, who had been straight for decades, couldn't tell. He looked at it for a while and said innocently, "I think they are very good, and my son will have a companion in the future. "

  "..." Wen Wan glared at him and hurried downstairs.

  Li Qingyi was angered: "..."

  A family of three...or a family of four had a reunion dinner. Before Wen Wan could chat with Pei Lu for a few more words, Li Jun had the foresight to take them to the game room.

The space  in the game room was filled again, and the white dominoes were arranged into a huge square array, arranged neatly. In the lower left corner of the square array, a row of domino-like curved lines extended to Pei Lu's feet.

  "When did you set up one again?" Pei Lu squatted down and carefully looked at the square array in front of him. Before that, Li Jun was almost inseparable from him, and he actually had time to run back and set up Domino.

  Speaking of which, he has never understood why Li Jun likes such a time-consuming and brain-consuming game. It takes at least dozens of days or even months to calculate and place dominoes of this size, but it only takes a moment to knock them down.

  Li Jun did not answer his question and instead asked, "Are you willing to help me?"

  "help you with what?"

  "Push it down." Li Jun looked at him deeply, with something in his eyes that Pei Lu couldn't understand.

  "What kind of help is this?" Li Jun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was some difficult problem.

  Pei Lu stretched out his finger and gently tapped the first domino. He suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask Li Jun, "Aren't you coming together?" They pushed it down together last time.

  Li Jun did not move, looking at him with an indescribable look. For a moment, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth and spoke seriously. "You can't regret it if you push it."

  "No regrets." Pei Lu thought he was still talking about Domino, and grinned, "Come here, let's go together."

  "...Okay." Li Jun moved, squatted down behind him, covered the back of his hand with his sweaty palm, and pushed it down with him.

  A small row of dominoes meandered forward, like a gurgling stream, pushing one layer at a time, and finally merged into the sea. Circles of dominoes fell down, and the shadows hidden under the phalanx were finally revealed.

  Like an iceberg rising from the water, it slowly reveals its appearance beneath the water.

  ——The white domino fell, and what was finally revealed was a black, almost real heart.

  The author has something to say: Li Jun: I showed you my heart, and you will be mine from now on.

  Pei Lu:... black man's question mark face
