Meng Xiaozhi Sugar Core

"Is your cold feeling better?" Although his father still looked serious, one could still hear his concern for his daughter from his tone.

"I'm much better now. I don't have a fever anymore. What are you doing, Mom? Xiaomeng is still here..." Tang Xin pushed her mother away with a red face, feeling a little shy.

"Oh, yes, Xiaomeng is still here. Thank you so much this time. Xiaomeng recovered so well in just one day. It must be your credit, right?" His mother turned around and looked at me gratefully.

"It's nothing, it's what we should do as friends."

"Mom, Xiaomeng is so awesome. Not only did she take care of me and apply cold towels to cool me down, she also bought takeout and cooked for me in the evening. The food tasted so good!" Tang Xin kept praising me in front of her parents, which made me feel embarrassed.

“This is really embarrassing.”

"Since uncle and aunt are back, why don't I go home too?" Since the adults are back, I feel embarrassed to stay longer with Tang Xin.

"Eh? Aren't you going to have lunch before going back?" Tang Xin's face was full of disappointment.

"I have to go back and cook for my sister too." I smiled and pinched her face.

"Oh~" She pouted, a little unhappy.

"Dad, do you want to ask Lao Li to take the child back?" Auntie seemed a little worried about me going back alone.

"Old Li drove for such a long time to bring us back, and now he must have gone back to sleep. Let's not trouble him, I'll take you there myself." The uncle said as he picked up the keys on the table.

"Are you okay? I just slept for a while in the car."

"It's nothing to be tired of. You know how hard it was when I was in the army!" The uncle boasted, "Let's go. I'll take you there."

"That's so embarrassing." I scratched my head, feeling a little awkward. It was really unacceptable to let her father send me off.

"What's the big deal? You took care of my daughter for a day and a night, and we haven't thanked you yet." He laughed out loud, and he didn't look so fierce at all.

-

"Uncle, can you stop in front of the pharmacy?"

"Oh, okay. Do you want to buy some medicine or something?" Uncle Tang has good driving skills and parked very close to the side of the road.

"Yeah, almost."

Actually, when I got off the bus, I just planned to buy two packs of masks. Although the flu is nothing compared to corona-19, wearing a mask can indeed prevent many airborne epidemic diseases. There is no harm in buying a few bags for uncles, aunts, sisters, and so on.

Two minutes later, I returned to the car with two small bags of masks and handed one bag to the uncle.

"Uncle, please wear a mask when you go out recently. The flu is quite serious."

"I suddenly realized that Tang Xin is lucky to have a friend like you." The uncle was not polite and took a bag of masks. "On the way here, I was still discussing buying masks with her mother. I didn't expect that you would take the lead."

"It's better to be prepared. Although the flu will disappear when the weather gets warmer..."

"Yeah, that's true. There aren't many people who have so much life experience at such a young age. How did your parents educate you?"

"My parents..." I sighed, "I can hardly remember what they look like..."

"Ah?" My uncle was stunned and couldn't help but step on the brakes.

-

I just got home. I'll update you first, and then I'll go replenish my stock.

Chapter 62: Chenxi's Invitation

"…That's about it." I casually talked about my parents' affairs. Normally, I don't mention this matter. Every time I mention it, it feels as painful as opening a scar.

"That's it..."

Tang Xin's father probably couldn't think of anything to comfort me, and he looked a little embarrassed. But he drove to my door very quickly, and I thanked him and got out of the car.

"I'm back!" I turned the doorknob. The door was not locked, and it opened with a gentle push.

"Sister? Are you on vacation too?" Xiaoling was lying on the sofa, looking like Ge You.

"Sit up straight, be careful of bending your spine!"

"My sister nags me as soon as she comes back!" Xiaoling pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Are there any classmates who have a fever? Does your throat hurt?" I sat next to her and touched her head.

"No, none of my classmates have caught a cold. Sister, where's your schoolbag? Why didn't you bring it back?"

Xiaoling's observation skills are amazing. She actually noticed the detail that I didn't bring my schoolbag.

"Ah... well... well..." When she asked me this, I couldn't think of an excuse for a moment, "Have you had breakfast? I'll make you breakfast."

"Look~" My sister's eyes gradually became suspicious, "It's already past nine o'clock! Lunch will be here in more than an hour. By the way, why didn't you bring your schoolbag?"

"I just... don't want to do my homework." I didn't dare look Xiaoling in the eye, and I wasn't very good at lying.

"Sniff~sniff~"

Xiao Ling came up

"What are you doing?" I quickly pushed her away.

"It smells like fresh perfume, and a little bit of cigarette smoke." Xiaoling's eyes became extremely suspicious.

"Do you have a dog's nose?!" I complained, "You can even smell this."

"Tell me the truth, if my sister is short of money, I can understand!" Tang Xin said something incredible!

"What are you thinking about?" I held my forehead, "Tang Xin is sick, I took a day off yesterday to take care of her, and today I have a day off and don't have time to go back to school to get books."

"Where does the smoke come from?"

"Her father drove me home this morning. Was there a slight smell of cigarette smoke in the car?"

Xiao Ling was skeptical, "I will keep my sister's matter a secret for you and aunt!"

"No need to keep it secret!"

"If you need money, you can borrow from me. You don't have to sell your body or anything."

"How did I sell my body?"

"Tsk, you've already been serving others for a whole night, and you still say you didn't betray me."

"...I won't play tricks on you anymore. Remember to wear a mask when you go out. I left the mask in the hallway." I sighed. This little girl is becoming more and more naughty and more and more out of control.

"Do I have to wear it?" She frowned.

I flicked her forehead with my index finger: "You have to, if you don't want to catch a cold. A cold and fever will cause a runny nose, loss of appetite, headache, and weakness in the limbs..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, stop talking! Can't I wear it?"

Xiaoling was defeated and went back to her room. She must have been annoyed by my nagging, so I shut up. Suddenly I found myself idle. I didn't have to read or study. There was no good TV to watch or computer to play with. My cell phone was still a broken Symbian. I couldn't adapt to it for a while.

[Bai Xilu, what are you doing?] I thought about it and decided to ask about the progress of yesterday's class at school so that I could give Tang Xin extra lessons to catch up with the progress.

[I’m helping my parents move to a bigger house! What’s up?] Five minutes later, the WeChat message came back.

[Oh, that's fine. Just be careful not to get too tired.]

I decided not to bother Bai Xilu and sent a message to Zhang Xueyan.

[I'm helping my mom clean up. There aren't many customers today, but there are a lot of takeout orders. Do you want some puffs? I'll ask the rider to bring them to you.] Zhang Xueyan looked even busier.

[No, no. It's too much trouble for you. ]

I quickly declined. What should I do? Both of my good friends seemed very busy, and I couldn't bother them anymore. I had no choice but to send the message to my new friend Chenxi.

[Can I excuse you for a moment? ]

[Why are you so polite? Aren’t we friends? What’s the matter? ] Chenxi replied immediately.

【busy? 】

[Not busy, you said.]

[Can I ask about the progress of yesterday's class? ]

[As expected of a good student, he is still thinking about studying even during holidays. 】

Hearing her say that made me blush. No, I wasn’t thinking about studying. I was just thinking about the person I liked.

[No... I just don't want to not understand when the time comes. ]

[Of course, I can, but the teacher taught a lot yesterday, and there are a lot of homework assignments. I can’t explain it all online. Do you want to come to my house? ]

[Eh? Your house?] I was stunned. Am I going to someone else's bedroom again? Will Tang Xin be angry? No, Tang Xin and I have nothing to do with each other. How could she be angry?

[My home is in XX community, did you know? ]

[Ah? . . It's right next to me.] I sat up from the sofa. Is that okay? It's not bad to go and have a look!

[Why don't you come over now? I'll wait for you! Room 203, Building ! ]

【receive! 】

"Where are you going again?" Xiaoling had stood at the edge of the living room at some point, drinking a bottle of juice in her hand.

"Ah, Xiaoling, when did you stand there?"

"It started with that silly smile you had on your face just now."

"Ah... this." My face turned red. Was I laughing just now? "I'm just going to go out for a while to get some teaching materials from a classmate's house."

“Not all computer parts will do.”

"what?"

"nothing."

"Oh, then I'm off."

……

Chenxi's home is just one block away from mine, and it only takes five minutes to walk there. But I got a lot of attention along the way, maybe because I was the only one wearing a mask? I couldn't go empty-handed, so I bought a bottle of lemon tea and iced black tea on the way, but I don't know if she can drink it.

"Ding Dong~" With a little trepidation, I rang the doorbell of Chenxi's house.

"Here you come~ Is that Li Xiaomeng?" I heard Cheng Xi's voice coming closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of her footsteps running towards me.

"It's me~"

"Come on in! Just wear these shoes!"

Cheng Xi opened the door and handed me a pair of pink cotton slippers. She was wearing a one-piece fluffy pajamas, all white, and with the two long ears on the hood, she looked like a snow rabbit.
