Chapter 13(1/2)
Lin Mo looked at Duan Chen in front of him in surprise.
Duan Chen stood smiling and at the same distance as three hamburgers. The boy wore two fake sweatshirts today. His white body was red, white and black plaid sleeves, his exposed wrists were buttoned with a mechanical watch, ink jeans wrapped around his slender legs, and a pair of Gaobang sneakers were domineeringly unfolding.
A girl passing by frequently glanced secretly in the direction where Duan Chen was standing, sighing, "God! There is a little brother there who looks so beautiful!"
Some people even had a more bold person who had to take their cell phones and ran to Duan Chen, blushing and asked him for his cell phone number.
Duan Chen calmly refused the girl who came forward to meet him, and kept staring at Lin Mo with a smile. The girls were a little discouraged after being rejected. They looked at Lin Mo opposite Duan Chen, pouted and returned to their position in shame.
He kept muttering,
"Oh, I have a girlfriend! I didn't see them showing their love!"
Lin Mo's face turned red when he heard this, but suddenly she didn't want to explain.
Duan Chen, who was standing in front of him, seemed to have not corrected the "misunderstanding" of those girls.
The two of them stood face to face, one after another, and the cone slowly began to melt from the edge, and a faint creamy fragrance seemed to condense in the air. Lin Mo lowered his head and could not see Duan Chen's face, but knew that he was still standing there, staring at him.
This feeling is really subtle. Lin Mo didn't know why Duan Chen didn't correct those words that misunderstand their relationship, but she remembered that when someone used to joke with Duan Chen and Zhang Xuan, Duan Chen seriously told them not to talk nonsense.
Now he has acquiesced to outsiders' misunderstandings about her and him.
In fact, Lin Mo is not a person who is very good at awkward, so in this situation, she was standing there, her face became redder and redder, and she didn't know what to do. Until the young lady at the ordering table on one side reminded her kindly,
"Beauty, do you still want this chocolate sundae?"
Lin Mo then came back and said he wanted what he wanted and handed over the change he found to the cashier. There was still someone behind the team, and Lin Mo automatically transferred to the food outlet after paying the money.
Used to walk back and deliberately ignore the boys behind.
Duan Chen followed and stood close to Lin Mo. Lin Mo lowered his head and waited for the meal. Duan Chen asked Lin Mo with a cone.
“Which is better, cone or sundae?”
Lin Mo knew that the man had nothing to say when he heard this, so he lowered his head and replied,
"I think this one tastes good, I think it's delicious."
"Oh, that's it." Duan Chen held the cone and looked around, "Then I'll buy another chocolate sundae to taste it next time."
Lin Mo raised his head and looked at Duan Chen with some curiosity.
"You haven't eaten sundae before?"
It’s unlikely that Dabo Duan’s family is so rich that he won’t be able to even afford KFC’s ice cream since he was a child!
Duan Chen carefully studied the patterns on the crispy tube in his hand.
"I have lactose intolerance, so I haven't eaten much sweets since I was a kid."
Lin Mo: “…”
Lin Mo: "Then why did you buy this cone for?"
Duan Chen curled his lips, his expression a little aggrieved. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly called Lin Mo's meal number in the dining area.
“No. 52, your sundae is ready!”
Lin Mo turned around to get the sundae, held it in his hand and scooped a large spoon with a spoon, stuffed it sweetly into his mouth, and walked towards his position while eating.
Duan Chen followed Lin Mo and sat on the plastic chair opposite her,
Keep taking the cone he bought and looking at it.
Lin Mo ate the chocolate on the sundae almost the same. Seeing that Duan Chen did not mean to eat the cone in his hand, he raised his head and asked Duan Chen,
"Then what do you buy this cone for?"
"...I see you bought one, and I want to try it." Duan Chen said,
"But I'm still a little scared."
Lin Mo: “…”
A child next to him stared at the cone in Duan Chen's hand. Duan Chen turned his head and shouted sweetly, "Big brother~ ice cream!". The child's parents were a little embarrassed and said apologetically to Duan Chen, "Sorry, the child is greedy and ignorant."
Duan Chen looked at Lin Mo who was eating sundae seriously. It was obvious that the two ice creams were a bit too much for Lin Mo. When he arrived at the middle and lower part of the sundae, he ate a little slowly. Duan Chen turned around and faced the child, leaned over and asked him,
"Kid, do you want the ice cream in your brother's hand?"
The child yelled, "I want it!"
Duan Chen raised his head and asked the child's parents what he meant with his eyes. The child's mother was embarrassed and said, "I'm so grateful. I thought the store was out of stock and couldn't buy it."
"Thank you, brother." The mother touched the child's head and pointed at Duan Chen.
The child said sweetly, "Thank you, brother!"
Duan Chen gave the cone in his hand with a smile. The child's mother wanted to pay Duan Chen. Duan Chen waved his hand and said that it was just a cone, just to make the child happy! The child's mother said how could that work? She insisted on giving the money!
The two of them pushed around, but Duan Chen could not compete with his aunt, so he could only spread his hands, shrugged helplessly, and lowered his voice and said a few words to the child's mother.
Lin Mo couldn't hear what Duan Chen was saying, and could only see that when Duan Chen finished speaking, the aunt nodded at her with meaningful eyes, then raised her hand and patted Duan Chen on the shoulder.
"Okay, then aunt won't give you money."
"The young man is terrifying! Come on!"
Duan Chen smiled a little confused.
"Baby, say goodbye to the elder brother." The woman picked up the child gnawing at the cone and got up to leave.
The child shouted at Duan Chen,
"Goodbye brother!"
Duan Chen shook his hand, "Goodbye~"
The child suddenly turned his head and looked at Lin Mo on the other side. He shouted in a voice that could be heard in the whole store.
"I wish my elder brother to catch up with my elder sister in the evening. If I can't eat more ice cream I bought like this, I can give it to me!"
Aunt:"……"
Duan Chen: "…"
Lin Mo: “…???”
Duan Chen got up and went to see the child off, without saying hello to Lin Mo. Lin Mo raised his head and watched Duan Chen rush to the aunt and the child. The aunt was laughing, and the child was picked up by Duan Chen. Duan Chen pretended to be fierce and wanted to knock on the child's head.
The edges of the boy's auricle seemed to be slightly red.
Lin Mo suddenly became very happy, and the chocolate on the spoon melted into his mouth and flowed into his heart bit by bit.
The sweetness that grew out, the hazy throbbing, the temperature of the boy rubbed her forehead.
"Lin Mo!"
A familiar voice came from a distance, Lin Mo turned his head and saw that Ruan Meng was finally here.
Lin Mo waved to Ruan Meng. Ruan Meng walked through the crowd to Lin Mo's seat, put down her small backpack, and asked Lin Mo,
"You're not with my cousin?"
“…”
???
cousin?
Lin Mo looked question marks.
Seeing Lin Mo showing a puzzled expression, Ruan Meng couldn't help but wonder,
"My cousin said that you must arrive early every time you date, and he wants to come to find you first."
"Wait," Lin Mo interrupted her, "Who is your cousin?"
"Duan Chen!"
Ruan Meng replied casually, and Lin Mo instantly fell into the cup. Before she could digest the shocking news, Ruan Meng suddenly stood up from the chair and smiled and waved her hand behind Lin Mo.
"Cousin Cousin!"
As he gradually approached the familiar aura, Lin Mo only felt his back stiffening. Duan Chen walked around Ruan Meng's side, pulled the chair open, and Wen Ya sat down.
"Wait!" Lin Mo looked around Ruan Meng, then Duan Chen, with his index finger pointing back and forth between the two, and question marks appeared on his head.
"You two... are brothers and sisters?"
"Yes." Before Ruan Meng could speak, Duan Chen smiled and knocked his index finger rhythmically on the table.
"Or what do you think your □ was added by Ruan Meng?"
Lin Mo was still a little confused.
"Then my number is... did you give it to Ruan Meng?"
"No!" Ruan Meng replied quickly, and then glanced at Duan Chen, showing a meaningful smile.
"I discovered it myself~"
Lin Mo looked at Duan Chen and didn't understand it very much.
