In fact, Li Chenghuan really liked going to Jiang Yunmiao's house.
On the one hand, the reason is that Jiang Yunmiao is the sister next door who she has watched grow up since she was a child. On the other hand, it is because she is often the only one in her family.
Although Li Chenghuan would not be nervous about facing Jiang Yunmiao's parents, in many situations, it would be more comfortable to get along with them without their parents.
Of course, another reason is that he can still remember the innocent and funny moments when Jiang Yunmiao was a child from time to time. When she became the leader of the gang, she stood up for him and bullied other little boys. But as she grew up, she often had to Staying at home alone...how to say, it's quite distressing.
The first one arrived at Jiang Yunmiao's house.
Jiang Yunmiao looked very happy and said, "Why are you here so early?"
Li Chenghuan nodded, put down some of the ingredients prepared yesterday, and said, "I studied making cakes yesterday, and I can try it today."
Jiang Yunmiao poured a glass of water for Li Chenghuan and groaned: "Last time I said I couldn't cook..."
Li Chenghuan laughed dryly, "Hey... I'm not afraid of embarrassing you."
Of course Jiang Yunmiao would not hold on to this all the time, so she changed the subject and said, "You just entered junior high school, how do you feel?"
Li Chenghuan thought for a while, "Actually, compared to elementary school, except for a few more courses, there are actually no changes."
Jiang Yunmiao touched her chin and suddenly became serious. She stared at Li Chenghuan and said, "Chenghuan..."
Li Chenghuan was startled and said with a smile: "What...what's wrong?"
Jiang Yunmiao said: "Since you are in junior high school, I have to tell you some things...don't blame me for being long-winded."
Li Chenghuan was a little surprised to see Jiang Yunmiao looking so serious, but more than anything, he was amused by her serious look and wanted to laugh, and said, "You tell me."
"You have just entered junior high school now, so you may not have had time to be exposed to some things."
"Um?"
"In our school, there are a lot of bad students. How should I put it? Have you ever seen that kind of movie? Bad boys..."
"Smoking, drinking, climbing over the wall to get a night at an Internet bar...you must not learn this."
Li Chenghuan was amused and warmed by Jiang Yunmiao's nagging. She was probably the first person besides her relatives who cared about her so much, right?
"okay."
"Oh, there's more!" Jiang Yunmiao thought of something else, looked at Li Chenghuan and said seriously: "This is actually not suitable for me, but I still have to tell you seriously."
Li Chenghuan blinked, "You said it."
Jiang Yunmiao hit him, mainly because Li Chenghuan's "you" was so teasing, "I'll hit you, I'm serious."
"Haha, what do you say?"
"Don't fall in love prematurely."
Li Chenghuan was stunned and laughed.
Jiang Yunmiao frowned, "Why are you laughing? Am I telling a joke?"
She sighed slightly in her heart. Indeed, it was a bit strange for her to say this to him from the perspective of her sister. After all, in a small county, it was too common for junior high school students to fall in love.
For a moment, Jiang Yunmiao felt a little sour in his heart. Did his concern make him feel...that?
Thinking about it this way, it suddenly dawned on her. Indeed, she was not his real sister. To say such a thing was too much like a housekeeper.
Jiang Yunmiao said angrily: "If you think it's funny, just pretend I didn't say it."
Li Chenghuan quickly shook his head: "No, I think you are right."
Jiang Yunmiao looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Li Chenghuan nodded and said, "Yes! I laughed just now because, well, my mother didn't seem to have said these words to me, so it was a bit funny."
Jiang Yunmiao snorted, "It sounds like I want to be your elder." After a pause, she became serious again and said sincerely: "Chenghuan, you may not understand what I am saying now. But you will understand in the future."
"oh……"
"You are different from other boys. You are good-looking and have good grades. There will definitely be many little girls who like you."
"You or the little girl, do you know what love is? You are just a little ignorant now at best."
"But the price you pay may very well be your future!"
Jiang Yunmiao was satisfied with the words she just said. Ah, they are really literary and philosophical. "Youth's ignorance", such words are so good.
Li Chenghuan looked at Jiang Yunmiao funny, well, this sister is a bit mature, but not much.
Jiang Yunmiao said many thoughtful words, confirming that Li Chenghuan had been brainwashed by him, and then nodded with satisfaction.
There is no way, he is still young, if he is led astray by some bad girls, he will regret it in the future.
The two chatted for a while, and Li Chenghuan received a call.
The call was from Ye Ninglu. She had already arrived at the gate of the community, but she had a lot of things and needed help.
Jiang Yunmiao said, "I'll go too."
Li Chenghuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You are the birthday boy today, so you don't have to deal with such trivial matters personally."
A few minutes later, Li Chenghuan received Ye Ninglu downstairs.
Ye Ninglu carried a big bag with a lot of snacks and an exquisite gift box. Li Chenghuan couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Uh... what are you?"
Ye Ninglu said with a smile: "It's your first time at your friend's house. You can't come empty-handed."
Li Chenghuan nodded, "Okay, let's go up."
As he spoke, Li Chenghuan lifted up part of what Ye Ninglu was holding.
The back view of Li Chenghuan shows that he is taller than her. His walking posture gives people a very calm and unhurried feeling, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.
Ye Ninglu followed for a while and suddenly laughed out loud: "Chenghuan, to be honest, if I didn't tell you your age, I wouldn't have realized that you are my brother who is two years younger than me."
Li Chenghuan turned around and smiled: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you treat me as your younger brother."
Ye Ninglu smiled and shook her head, "I have always felt that a person's physical age is not important. What I care about more is the psychological age."
Li Chenghuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled dumbly: "Oh...really?"
Ye Ninglu was thoughtful, thought for a moment, and said, "I don't know if it's my misunderstanding, but I actually think your mental age is older than the first year of junior high school." After a pause, she smiled and said, "So I have always regarded you as Viewed by peers.”
Li Chenghuan blinked: "Ha..."
Ye Ninglu smiled lightly, "You probably don't like being treated as a little brother by someone who is two or three years older, right?"
Li Chenghuan thought for a while, "Well, this... is okay."
But Ye Ninglu shook her head, with a smile on her lips.
She felt that her attitude towards him was probably something he had never experienced before.
This experience...how to describe it, is like having a birthmark on a person's face, and only one person thinks it is not ugly, but can see the unique beauty of this birthmark.
