Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie came back carrying cut watermelons.
Duan Mingjie handed Li Dong a piece.
Li Dong quickly stood up, took it and thanked him.
Duan Mingjie nodded lightly and then handed it to Lu Jianguo.
Lu Yao said to Li Dong while eating, "This is watermelon fished out of the well. It's ice-cold, sweet, and delicious. That year we bought a watermelon and soaked it in the well next to the school. Do you remember?" ?”
Thinking of the past, Li Dong nodded, "It's just that there were too many people, so we only got a small piece."
Lu Yao nodded in agreement while eating.
Seeing watermelon juice on Lu Yao's chin, Duan Mingjie took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it clean for her.
Lu Yao smiled happily, and Duan Mingjie laughed, "Eat slowly, don't eat too much, or you will have a stomachache in a few days."
Hearing this, Lu Yao's pupils trembled.
It seems like I'm going to have my period in a few days.
She had already eaten two pieces outside just now!
She decisively handed the watermelon to Duan Mingjie, "You can eat it, I won't."
Duan Mingjie took it: "You really don't want to eat it?"
Lu Yao looked at the watermelon in his hand eagerly, turned her face away, and said, "You can eat it."
Duan Mingjie smiled and started eating by himself.
Li Dong and Lu Jianguo next to them were dumbfounded.
How did Duan Mingjie keep Lu Yao under control?
Lu Jianguo said angrily, "You keep saying you are good to my daughter, but in the end you have to control her even if she eats a watermelon!"
Duan Mingjie was slightly stunned.
My father-in-law has misunderstood.
But it was difficult for him to explain this kind of thing, not to mention that Li Dong was present, so he couldn't even open his mouth.
Lu Yao was furious on the side.
"Dad, can you please stop indiscriminately accusing Duan Mingjie? He didn't let me eat because he was afraid that I would have a stomachache. He knows me better than you! You have no right to say that to him!"
Lu Jianguo stood up angrily, "I didn't see your stomach hurt when you were a child even if you ate half a watermelon! Now that you've grown up, you only get a stomach ache after eating a few pieces. It's not because he doesn't want to let you eat it!"
Lu Yao blushed. Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Duan Mingjie held down Lu Yao's hand and said to Lu Jianguo, "Dad, it's not that I'm reluctant to let her eat. It's just that Yaoyao hasn't been feeling well recently and can't eat too much." It’s cool, I will buy it for her again after a while.”
Li Dong seemed to have thought of something and quickly smoothed things over, "Uncle Lu, Yaoyao is a girl who is really not suitable for eating too much cold food. Comrade Duan Mingjie is also doing her best. Look at so many people watching, and Susu is still doing surgery inside. , let’s keep our voices down.”
Lu Jianguo's chest heaved with anger, but he didn't continue to get angry because he was at the door of the operating room.
But he was angry and ignored Lu Yao.
Li Dong gave Lu Yao a reassuring look, and Lu Yao nodded.
Then, she received two sad looks.
Lu Yao quickly looked at Duan Mingjie, held his arm, and smiled at him dreamily.
Li Dong squinted his eyes, and it felt like someone had cut out a piece of his heart. It hurt a lot.
Lu Yao liked this man so much that she would challenge her own father for him.
He just gave him a look, and Lu Yao hurried over to coax him.
The flirting between the two really stung Duan Mingjie's eyes, and he admitted that he was jealous.
Jealous that Li Dong had known Lu Yao for a long time. They had memories and a tacit understanding.
With one look from Li Dong, Yaoyao knew what he meant.
Lu Yao hugged his waist and said coquettishly, "Duan Mingjie, I'm sleepy."
Duan Mingjie regained his emotions and held her in his arms, "Go to sleep. I'll call you in an hour."
Lu Yao hummed obediently, lay in Duan Mingjie's arms and fell asleep soon after.
Midway, Lu Jianguo went out for a while.
Li Dong looked at the sleeping girl in Duan Mingjie's arms and shouted, "Lu Yao?"
no response.
Duan Mingjie frowned and looked at him, obviously dissatisfied with his behavior in waking up Lu Yao.
"She has been exhausted these past few days. If you have anything to do, wait until she wakes up to talk about it."
Li Dong smiled and said, "I just wanted to see if she was asleep."
Duan Mingjie was stunned for a moment, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Hearing this, Li Dong was a little surprised, "You are very smart."
Duan Mingjie tugged his lips, "I'm not a child anymore, there's no need to use the word smart to describe me."
Li Dong was relieved and said casually, "It's nothing. I just want to tell you that Yaoyao and I are good friends and will be good friends in the future. I will not interfere in your marriage with her. You don't have to do anything to me." alert."
Duan Mingjie looked at him, but Li Dong didn't hide and let him look at him openly.
"You like Yaoyao."
Suddenly, Duan Mingjie said with a firm tone.
After he finished speaking, he saw the loneliness flash across Li Dong's face, and then said with a smile, "Yes, I like her."
Duan Mingjie clenched his fingers, his eyes full of defense.
"But what I just said still counts," Li Dong looked directly into Duan Mingjie's dark eyes, "Lu Yao and I have known each other for many years. We have been roommates for two years. Even if we have no feelings, we still have a tacit understanding. Yaoyao has a cute and charming personality. She is so magnanimous that people cannot bear to plot against her. In her eyes, I am like a big brother, and I have known for a long time that there is no possibility for me and her."
Duan Mingjie: "Since you know it's impossible, why don't you get married yet?"
Hearing this, Li Dong twitched the corners of his lips, "Because I have a glimmer of hope."
Lu Yao graduated from high school when she was fourteen. He was eighteen that year and deeply in love with her.
If you say anything about it, people will say it is deviant and blasphemous to little girls.
But who doesn't like excellent girls, not to mention that they get along day and night, and the more they get to know her, the more valuable they become.
If he expresses his feelings, he may scare her, and then Lu Yao will stay away from him even if her friends have nothing to do or say.
Therefore, he chose to wait for her to grow up.
But no one thought that she would go to the countryside.
After Lu Yao went to the countryside, Li Dong also wanted to find her, but he was working at that time and had no time at all.
Then she thought that her uncle would definitely not let her stay in the country for too long. When she came back and grew up, he could tell her that he liked her.
But who would have thought that she would get married before he could express his feelings.
Duan Mingjie: "You are very candid."
Li Dong smiled, "There's nothing we can do if we're not honest."
Li Dong looked at him intently, "I can see that she is very happy, although happiness is not given by me."
Duan Mingjie didn't expect this man to be so candid, so he replied lamely, "You will also have your own happiness."
Li Dong nodded, "I think so."
"But don't worry, even if I don't meet the girl I like, I won't affect you two. Of course, please remember that if one day you hurt her, I will take her away from you without hesitation. .”
