Mei Lijun's motorcycle was a straddle-type motorcycle, and it was a little difficult for a child to sit on it by himself. After finally carrying Julian Mei and Ava Lin onto the motorcycle, Mei Lijun put on a raincoat and covered Ava Lin and Julian Mei's heads with it.
Because Julian Mei was sitting in the middle, he could just stick his head out from the opening at the back of the raincoat. Ava Lin could only lower his head with his forehead against Julian Mei's back.
"Hold on tight, hold on tight, and get ready to go!"
The gasoline engine of Mei Lijun's motorcycle made a terrifying sound comparable to the rumbling of a tractor. Ava Lin could feel the strong vibration with his feet hanging in the air against the motorcycle. At this time, Ava Lin still kept his hands on his legs and did not dare to touch Julian Mei.
"Ava Lin, you are holding my clothes, aren't you afraid of falling down?"
Julian Mei's voice was drowned out by the sound of the engine and thunder. When the motorcycle started, Ava Lin's whole body was pressed against Julian Mei's back because of the sudden recoil, and his arms subconsciously hugged him tightly from behind, and did not let go until they returned home.
...
"Wow...it's raining really hard."
Mei Lijun was well protected by a raincoat when he returned home, but Ava Lin and Julian Mei looked like two drowned chickens, looking extremely miserable.
"You're back now. Go take a bath quickly to avoid catching a cold..."
Xiang Xiaoxia came to the door with a dry towel. When she was about to wipe Julian Mei's face, she saw a little girl standing next to her with her head down.
Julian Mei quickly explained, "This is my classmate from kindergarten, Ava Lin... Her father hasn't come to pick her up yet."
"Is that so? Come in too! Um... I'll help you find Julian Mei's clothes, and take a shower together. I'll help you wash later."
Ava Lin didn't nod or shake her head, she just stood there stupidly. Julian Mei pulled her and whispered, "After you take a shower, you can have dinner at our house? You must be starving."
"good."
Ava Lin only talked to children.
Ava Lin's experience in kindergarten reminded Julian Mei of the past, which is why he extended a helping hand to Ava Lin.
He also met a similar unpopular female classmate in junior high school, she was a fat girl.
For reasons that have been forgotten, the teacher didn't seem to like her very much, and her classmates liked to call her fat woman and fat girl and often teased her. She did not resist, but endured it silently.
As for Julian Mei, because he had sat at the same table with her for a period of time, he knew that she was actually easy to get along with and not as bad as her classmates said, but he did not say much to her.
Once she didn't bring money to buy lunch, so Julian Mei lent her money to buy bread. After she paid her back the next day, she also gave Julian Mei a bottle of milk as a thank you gift.
However, that classmate ended up transferring to another school. But when she left, she left a postcard for Julian Mei, expressing her gratitude to him and saying that he was her best friend in the class.
Julian Mei is still moved by the fact that her goodwill gesture, which she thought was a matter of course, was viewed by others as a treasure of sincere friendship.
Apart from this incident, Ava Lin is Lucas Xia's good friend. Considering the fate that did not exist in the previous life, he can barely be considered an old acquaintance of his.
Julian Mei couldn't bear to leave her there like this. She couldn't bear to see this kind of thing...
When Mom took Ava Lin to the bathroom to take a shower, Mei Lijun crossed his legs and started to teach Julian Mei a lesson.
"What's wrong with you lately? You used to have no relationship with girls, but now you care about them? First you played with Lucas Xia, and now you're with Ava Lin... You're quite playful at such a young age, aren't you? But... you do have your father's style in this respect. Thinking back to the old days..."
"Boasting."
Julian Mei couldn't help but complain about this outspoken father, "If you were so capable, you wouldn't marry a wife who doesn't even give you 10 yuan in pocket money. Why suffer like that!"
"You kid...how can you say bad things about your mother! Who raised you to be plump and white, you ungrateful little B@[email protected] mother is the most virtuous and beautiful lady in this area. If I don't date her, who else can I date?"
It goes without saying that he made such a flattering and corny statement because he saw his wife coming.
Xiang Xiaoxia brought Ava Lin out after she finished taking a shower, and had blow-dried her hair before that. She was not unhappy about the uninvited guest at home, on the contrary, she seemed to be quite happy with Ava Lin.
Ava Lin looked much fresher than usual. She wore Julian Mei's single clothes and pants, and her body was clean. Her mother also braided her into a high ponytail.
"How about it... Look at my braids, do they look good? Ava Lin, please raise your head, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."
When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Ava Lin raised his head with gritted teeth, and then quickly lowered it again.
Julian Mei silently gave her mother a thumbs up.
It really looks cute, hehe...
"I was wondering why you spent so much time blow-drying your hair in the bathroom..."
Meilijun sighed and said, "The food is cold."
Julian Mei was not as straight as his father, but continued, "Mom, your braids are really beautiful."
"Our Julian Mei is still sensible, but it's not just your mother's skills that are good, Ava Lin is also very cute!"
Xiang Xiaoxia gently pinched Ava Lin's cheek, her expression full of happiness, "Oh, I wish I could give birth to a daughter..."
"We are all in the system, so let's forget about having a second child, right?"
"It's no use even if I think about it. You're the only one who talks too much."
Julian Mei had been hearing her parents' quarrels and bickering for decades, but at this time when her family was still well off, it felt particularly relaxing to listen to them.
When the family was about to sit down to eat, Mei Lijun received a call from Ava Lin's father. After a few simple words, Mei Lijun handed the phone to Ava Lin. She took the phone and went to the balcony to talk. Xiang Xiaoxia beside her whispered:
"What do you mean, will you pick me up in a moment?"
Mei Lijun shook his head. "Her father said there was a problem at the construction site and he won't be here until later."
"In such heavy rain, safety comes first."
Xiang Xiaoxia added, "Oh, so, Ava Lin's father should be the third son of the Lin family in Dongmen Aquatic Street, right? The one who works in engineering."
Mei Lijun nodded, looking at Ava Lin who was talking on the phone with her father on the balcony, and then whispered back, "Last time, Ava Lin and Julian Mei had a little friction. I met her father, the one whose wife died in a car accident two years ago."
"You should bring her home. It's pitiful for a little girl to be without a mother at such a young age."
After listening to the conversation between his parents, Julian Mei finally understood why his father was so generous in agreeing to his request today.
Julian Mei's parents are indeed not very capable, but in terms of dealing with people, he is often influenced by his parents.
After finishing the phone call, Ava Lin was cordially invited by the family to sit at the table and had his glass of Coke filled.
"Come, Ava Lin, try this... Today, our family specially roasted a chicken. You and Julian Mei each have a chicken leg... No, Julian Mei's is for you too."
Ava Lin's bowl was filled with Xiang Xiaoxia's love. Mei Lijun winked at his wife to remind her not to use too much force, but she completely ignored him.
There were only a few pieces of green vegetables and beans in Julian Mei's bowl.
At school, Ava Lin often spilled her unfinished food on the table, but at Julian Mei's house, she was always very well-behaved, eating her meal in small bites and carefully. Even if she encountered food that she normally wouldn't eat, she would try hard to swallow it. Seeing how hard she was struggling, Julian Mei came over.
"Can you finish it?"
Ava Lin shook his head.
"If you can't finish it, please give me some. Don't force yourself."
Ava Lin scooped some rice, vegetables and meat into Julian Mei's bowl. While sharing the food, Ava Lin suddenly leaned over to Julian Mei and whispered something.
Julian Mei smiled slightly after hearing this.
"Don't be shy. If you like it, you can just tell my parents."
Ava Lin shook her head, her cheeks flushed, and soon lowered her head again.
"You two kids, what are you whispering about? Tell me." Xiang Xiaoxia was very interested in the whispers between children.
Julian Mei looked up and told her mother, "Ava Lin said, 'Mom, the food you cooked is delicious, and she wants to come to our house for dinner in the future.'"
Ava Lin just raised his head to refute, and Meilijun beside him burst into laughter.
"Hahaha...there's nothing to be embarrassed about! When your dad comes, I'll tell him to let you come to my house for dinner every day!"
"Okay, that's good." Xiang Xiaoxia nodded, "It's like I have another daughter... I'll braid your hair beautifully every day, okay?"
Ava Lin couldn't resist the enthusiasm of Julian Mei's parents. She was silent for a while and shook her head from time to time. Seeing Julian Mei eating the chicken leg she gave him with relish, she suddenly felt a little annoyed.
She reached out and grabbed Julian Mei's thigh and pinched it hard, causing Julian Mei to scream in pain.
