Chapter 384 [Extra: Zen Creek] (2) Childhood Bonds

More than a month has passed since the death of his wife Yan Ruqing.

In order to prevent his daughter Ying Chanxi from being too uncomfortable, Ying Zhicheng first asked for sick leave, and then asked his teacher for a long leave. For more than a month, he spent most of his time with Ying Chanxi.

However, after discovering that Ying Chanxi seemed to prefer running to the next door, and seemed quite happy when accompanied by Li Guohong's family, Ying Zhicheng gradually felt relieved.

In addition, the company is in dire straits. A few years ago, Yuan Wanqing withdrew from the industry and went abroad for medical treatment. His performance has been poor. In the period of pain, he is seeking breakthroughs and transformation, so he still needs to go back.

So Ying Zhicheng asked Li Guohong in private to take more care of his daughter on weekdays.

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong naturally agreed and told him to go to work in the city without worrying.

In fact, he really didn't have anything to worry about.

Children have great forgetfulness. Under the care of Li Luo's family, Ying Chanxi quickly came out of that gloom.

But the one who is more forgetful is Li Luo.

One day in second grade, an ordinary afternoon.

Li Guohong rushed over from the breakfast shop to pick up his children at the gate of the Experimental Primary School.

When school was over, teams from each class in the school lined up neatly and walked out of the teaching building.

When it was the turn of Class 201, Li Guohong saw Li Luo, who successfully ran for the sports committee this year, leading the team out of the teaching building holding a class card.

Li Guohong and his wife didn't know how Li Luo became the sports committee member, but the classmates in Class 201 knew it very well.

Mainly because I was scared by being beaten by Li Luo.

Last year, because of Ying Chanxi's incident, Li Luo even dared to hit girls. This year, when he ran for sports committee, no one dared to compete with him.

At this time, he walked to the school gate holding the class card and handed it to the teacher next to him. Li Luo carried his schoolbag and waved to Ying Chanxi in the team. The two of them walked up to Li Guohong, and were beaten by him one by one.

Hold hands.

"Where should we go after coming out of the school gate?" Li Guohong did not set off in a hurry, but asked the two children.

"This way." Ying Chanxi pointed to the right side of the school gate and turned right in front.

"Yes, yes." Li Guohong nodded and said with a smile, "Xixi is so smart, do you remember Li Luo?"

"Remember, it's not like I don't know."

"Then let's go."

The Experimental Primary School is opposite People's Square and very close to Jincheng Community.

Go to the intersection, turn right, go downhill, and pass through a small tunnel, above which is the old-fashioned green train track.

After passing through the tunnel, Li Guohong asked again how to go, and Ying Chanxi immediately answered.

Turn right again and came to the entrance of the breakfast shop. Li Guohong shouted inside, and Lin Xiuhong took off her apron and walked out. She packed up and closed the door, and the family walked towards home.

"How is it? You should have remembered everything, right?" Li Guohong asked at the dinner table, "Starting from tomorrow, you two will try to go to and from school by yourself, okay?"

"No problem." Ying Chanxi nodded seriously, "Uncle Li, don't worry, I won't let Li Luo run around."

"Okay." Li Guohong smiled, "I'm relieved with Xixi's words."

"Dad! What do you mean?" Li Luo said dissatisfied, "I also remember the route, okay? I can walk by myself without Xixi."

"What? You still want to leave Xixi and run away alone?" Lin Xiuhong hit him on the head, "Follow Xixi to and from school, don't run around blindly, do you understand?"

"I won't run around blindly." Li Luo patted his chest and said, "Obviously I took care of Ying Chanxi and sent her home safely. Boys should protect girls."

"I don't need your protection." Ying Chanxi muttered in a low voice, feeling quite happy in his heart.

Wait until the next day.

Early in the morning, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi got up obediently and prepared to go to school.

Originally, at this time, Lin Xiuhong, who was busy at the breakfast shop, would rush over and take her two children to school.

But Li Guohong just waited for one person and was busy in the store, especially at six or seven o'clock, when the breakfast store was crowded with the most people, which often left him in a hurry.

But today is the first time for the two children to go to school alone.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi carried small schoolbags and came to the breakfast shop to greet Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong. After having breakfast in the shop, Lin Xiuhong watched the two children leave.

Then she said a few words to Li Guohong, immediately took off her apron, and quietly followed the two children.

They were told to go to school alone, but Lin Xiuhong was still a little worried.

This is the first time, so we have to follow and see what happens. If there are no problems throughout the process, the couple can rest assured.

Fortunately, their home is only a few minutes away from the Experimental Primary School. It can be reached by just two turns, so it is not complicated.

Lin Xiuhong followed quietly and watched the two children walking forward.

It was the first time that Li Luo went to school without his parents. He let himself go and ran back and forth on the sidewalk from time to time, which made Lin Xiuhong frown.

Fortunately, this kid had some sense of propriety and was only running on the sidewalk and not on the bicycle lane. Otherwise, Lin Xiuhong would have been tempted to step forward and spank him.

But just when Lin Xiuhong frowned, Ying Chanxi couldn't stand it anymore, so she quickly grabbed Li Luo, and then reached out to hold him to stop him from running around.

Li Luo was a little impatient and didn't want to leave so peacefully, but after Ying Chanxi whispered something, Li Luo immediately became honest.

Seeing the two children in front of her walking hand in hand towards school, Lin Xiuhong suddenly showed a relieved smile on her face.

After escorting them all the way to the school, Lin Xiuhong immediately turned around and rushed back to the breakfast shop after entering the school gate smoothly.

Fortunately, it only lasted about ten minutes, so Li Guohong was not busy for too long, and the couple immediately got into the busy work of the morning.

But after she had some free time after ten o'clock, Lin Xiuhong couldn't help but sigh when she recalled the scene she saw in the morning.

"What's wrong?" Li Guohong asked, "Is there something wrong with the two children?"

"It's good. Xixi is more obedient. She pulled Li Luo and didn't let him run around. In the future, we shouldn't have to send him to school." Lin Xiuhong sighed, "It's just a pity to see Xixi so well-behaved. What if

It would be nice if Ruqing could also see it.”

"It's all over." Li Guohong patted his wife on the shoulder and sighed, "It's good that the child Xixi is fine. After all, we watched her grow up."

"I have raised her as my own daughter." Lin Xiuhong whispered, "She is much more obedient than your son."

Li Guohong: "..."

…

In the evening, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong resisted their impulse and did not go to the experimental primary school to pick up their children.

When it was time for school to end, and about ten minutes passed, and she finally saw the two children at the door of the store from a distance, Lin Xiuhong took a deep breath and completely let go of her worries.

When Ying Chanxi took Li Luo's hand and came to the door of the breakfast shop, Lin Xiuhong immediately squatted down, hugged the two children tightly, and kissed each of them: "You are so good, they are both good."

After returning home with her two children, Lin Xiuhong specially cooked a sumptuous dinner to celebrate their first successful trip to school alone.

At the dinner table, after praising their children for a while, Li Guohong and his wife started chatting among themselves.

Ying Chanxi and Li Luo were eating obediently on the side.

"This weekend, my second uncle's son Guomao is getting married, and we have to attend the wedding." Li Guohong said.

"Oh, I understand." Lin Xiuhong nodded, took out a tissue and wiped Li Luo's oily mouth.

When Li Luo heard this, he immediately said: "I want to get married too!"

"What are you getting married to?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him and said with a smile, "You are still young, who can you marry?"

"Xixi." Li Luo looked matter-of-fact, then grabbed Ying Chanxi's arm, raised it and said, "We have agreed."

"Haha~" Lin Xiuhong couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, let's eat quickly. We'll talk about the wedding later. You are still young and don't understand yet."

Li Luo didn't care about this and continued to eat.

Lin Xiuhong also continued to discuss with Li Guohong how much money to pay for the wedding.

As a result, while chatting, Li Guohong suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned his head and glanced at Ying Chanxi, only to find that the little girl was crying silently while eating the rice. The tears fell into the rice bowl and went into his mouth.

.

"Xixi, what's wrong with you?" Li Guohong was startled and hurriedly came to Ying Chanxi's side, "Why are you still crying?"

Lin Xiuhong, who was next to her, noticed it at this moment, and quickly turned around, hugged Ying Chanxi's small body, and wiped her tears sadly: "Hey, oh, oh, what's going on? Is it Li Luo secretly?

Did he bully you? Can I beat him? Xixi won’t cry if he doesn’t.”

Li Luo: "...?"

While he was eating, Li Luo didn't expect that a black pot would hit his head.

But seeing Ying Chanxi crying like this, Li Luo was a little confused: "I didn't bully her, I was eating just now!"

"No, it's not Li Luo..." After Ying Chanxi was found crying, she couldn't help but choked up. She pursed her lips and looked at Lin Xiuhong aggrievedly, and whispered, "Aunt Lin... Aunt Lin... is

Don’t you hate me?”

"How could this happen?!" Lin Xiuhong's eyes widened in disbelief, and she quickly hugged Ying Chanxi, rubbed her little face, and said innocently, "Aunt Lin likes you, Xixi is so cute,

Be more obedient, much better than Li Luo. It's too late for me to like you, so how can I hate you?"

"But... but..." Ying Chanxi wiped away her tears, but still couldn't stop crying. Her tears fell down like big pearls, "Aunt Lin doesn't let Li Luo marry me, doesn't it mean she hates me?

?”

Lin Xiuhong: "...?"

Li Guohong: "...?"

"Oh, it's okay." When Li Luo heard this, he immediately patted Ying Chanxi on the shoulder and comforted him, "If they don't agree, we will elope without them."

"You kid..." Li Guohong patted this guy's head in a daze, "You said that in front of your parents, right?"

"Wow wow wow wow!" Ying Chanxi cried even louder after hearing what they said.

"If you don't cry, don't cry. If you don't cry, don't cry." Lin Xiuhong hugged her tighter, with a panicked look on her face, and quickly changed her words, "I didn't allow it."

"Xixi is so cute, my aunt likes it."

"If you two grow up in the future and Xixi really wants to marry Li Luo, it will be too late for Auntie to be happy."

"Why wait until later?" Ying Chanxi raised his head aggrievedly, looking at Lin Xiuhong with eyes red from crying, "Can't you do it now? Can I marry Li Luo now?"

"Okay, okay, no problem." Seeing her crying like this, Lin Xiuhong just thought about how to coax her, so she quickly agreed, "Then Xixi will be our daughter-in-law, okay? Stop crying."

"real?"

"real!"

Upon hearing this answer, Ying Chanxi burst into tears and smiled, but her face was still red and she looked extremely cute.

Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong looked at each other, a little bit dumbfounded.

Ying Zhicheng is not at home, so his daughter seems to have been abducted by his family?

I don’t know how Li Luo managed to get Xixi to like him so much.

Li Guohong was a little confused. It was just because the two children stayed together all day long and played a lot of house games.

After all, they are still children. Nowadays, anyone who gets married can only be treated as a joke. Li Guohong and his wife don't really care. They only think that Ying Chanxi, in addition to being obedient and well-behaved, also has a very delicate and cute side.

After eating, the two children did their homework for a while and then got ready to go to bed.

As a result, Ying Chanxi wanted to stay in Li Luo's room again.

"Aren't Aunt Lin and Uncle Li sleeping together?" Ying Chanxi said.

"Then we must sleep together. Xixi, your room is next door, so you have to go back to sleep at night."

"But I am already Li Luo's wife." Ying Chanxi got into Li Luo's bed and refused to come out, protesting in a low voice, "Aunt Lin, you can't break up another family."

Lin Xiuhong: "...Okay, okay, you go to bed early."

Afraid that Ying Chanxi would cry again soon, Lin Xiuhong had no choice but to agree, turn off the lights in their room, and then leave, telling them to sleep well.

It turned out early the next morning.

Because it was the weekend, Ying Zhicheng finally came back. After returning home, he couldn't wait to go to his daughter's bedroom and wanted to give her a big hug.

But after opening the door and seeing the empty scene on his daughter's bed, Ying Zhicheng suddenly fell into deep thought.

Then he called Li Guohong. After getting the answer, he took out the key from under the potted plant opposite the door, opened the door of 401, and then opened the door of Li Luo's room.

When he saw his daughter huddled in bed very peacefully, sleeping on the same bed as Li Luo, he suddenly felt a headache and pinched the bridge of his nose.

…

"Xixi insists on sleeping there?"

"Yeah, neither of us can do anything about it."

"Then what should I do? It's okay now. The children are still young. When they grow up, what if they develop a habit? It would be bad..."

"Ahem... don't be impatient. The children are still young, so they are still clamoring to sleep together. They will definitely not be like this when they are older."

"Then it can't just be like this..."

"Forget it, I'll talk to Li Luo privately. Xixi will listen to Li Luo now. I'll let him speak."

"Well... don't tell Xixi that I said it."

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

…

After the parents on both sides communicated privately, Lin Xiuhong quietly pulled Li Luo and said something.

Originally, Li Luo firmly disagreed, but because Lin Xiuhong said she would give him extra pocket money, he still wavered in his steely determination.

So that night, Li Luo looked at Ying Chanxi who walked into his bedroom again, and took her little hand to the opposite door.

Ying Chanxi followed with confusion on his face, and when he returned to his bedroom opposite, he suddenly asked strangely: "Why did you bring me back?"

"You should sleep here from now on." Li Luo shook his head with regret and said, "We can't sleep together anymore."

"Why, why?" When Ying Chanxi heard this, he immediately became anxious and grabbed Li Luo's hand to prevent him from leaving, "You don't want me anymore?"

"Ahem..." Li Luo's eyes were filled with guilt, but he still said, "Although we are married, we don't have a marriage certificate yet. You can only get this after you become an adult."

"Do you know?"

"We don't have a marriage certificate, so we can't sleep together. Otherwise, if others find out, the police will arrest me and lock me up."

"So let's wait until we grow up before sleeping together."

Ying Chanxi was shocked when he heard that Li Luo would be arrested by the police uncle, but he didn't say anything more about sleeping together.

Seeing that she didn't object, Li Luo took her hand and asked her to lie down on the bed. Then he looked around and his eyes fell on a small blanket.

"It seems like I gave this to you, right?"

"Yeah." Ying Chanxi nodded, "You gave it to me when I was in kindergarten."

"Then take this." Li Luo took the small blanket and placed it next to Ying Chanxi's head, "Just think of it as me and sleep with you, so that you won't be scared at night."

"Um……"

"I'll stay with you for a while." Li Luo squatted on the bed, took Ying Chanxi's little hand, and covered her with a quilt, "I'll leave after you fall asleep."

"……good."

…

Time flies in the blink of an eye, and it’s time to graduate from sixth grade.

Li Luo and Ying Chanxi grew a lot taller all of a sudden.

Girls grow quickly and soon reached 1.5 meters, which was actually a little taller than Li Luo, which made Li Luo feel a little awkward.

In addition, as I get older and have differences between men and women, I am not as tired of two people being together all day long as I was in the past few years.

"Ying Chanxi! You're gone. You've graduated. What else are you taking pictures of?"

"Stand still and I'll take two pictures for you."

"What's the point of taking photos? It's so boring. I still want to play basketball with Zhao Rongjun."

"Anyway, we have to go home for dinner first." Ying Chanxi pointed the camera lens in his hand at Li Luo, "Striking a pose."

"hehe."

"It's so ugly!"

"What's so ugly about me? I'm so handsome."

"Handsome ass."

"I don't know who it is, but she used to clamor to marry me as my wife, and now she's talking to me like that, right?"

"Go to hell! Don't say this!" Ying Chanxi blushed and chased Li Luo around the school.

After finally taking pictures of all the places he wanted to take, Ying Chanxi put away his camera, put on his schoolbag, and walked out of the school gate with Li Luo.

Standing at the school gate and looking back, Ying Chanxi was still a little sad.

And Li Luo can't wait to welcome the first summer vacation without summer homework.

"Woohoo~ I finally graduated~"

"Are you quite happy after graduation?" Ying Chanxi carried his schoolbag and glanced at Li Luo.

"That's for sure. I want to graduate every day."

"You want to have summer vacation every day?"

"hey-hey."

After the two of them returned home, Ying Chanxi went to the kitchen to help Lin Xiuhong cook.

Li Luo naughtily ate it from the side, and then Lin Xiuhong pushed her to the trash can to peel the garlic.

…

Summer vacation officially begins the next day.

Li Luo was dragged by Lin Xiuhong to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities. She was bored and picking at the shelves. From time to time, she would stuff a bag of snacks under the trolley and pretend to know nothing.

When it was time to check out, Lin Xiuhong realized that there were so many snacks in the trolley, and she immediately glared at Li Luo angrily.

Li Luo smiled and whispered: "I bought this for Xixi, she likes to eat it."

"I don't know if Xixi likes it or not? Do you need to tell me?" Lin Xiuhong sneered, "For the sake of graduation, just this once, remember to give some to Xixi when you go back."

"That's for sure!" Li Luo assured, patting his chest.

"Hello." After the cashier scanned the barcodes of all the products, he said to Lin Xiuhong, "The total is two hundred and one yuan and six cents, which is exactly two hundred yuan. You can participate in our supermarket's lottery for over 100 yuan.

, you can draw twice for a purchase of 200 yuan.”

"Look!" Li Luo said proudly when he heard this, "If it weren't for my snacks, we would have missed one less draw!"

"Go, go, what good things can you get in the lottery?" Lin Xiuhong waved her hands repeatedly, watched the cashier bring the lottery box, and drew it casually.

"The consolation prize is a pack of tissues, please keep it." The cashier glanced at Lin Xiuhong's prize, then smiled and stuffed the pack of tissues into the bag, "One more time."

"Mom, why are your hands so fast? Let me do it!" Seeing this, Li Luo quickly squeezed over and stopped Lin Xiuhong from lashing out, "If you're not lucky, it's up to me!"

"I managed to draw a pack of tissues. Don't draw nothing."

"Look at you, I'm sure I can win the big prize." Li Luo said this, and curiously asked the cashier, "Do you have any big prizes here?"

"The first prize is a panda doll, the second prize is a Transformers figure, and the third prize..."

"Okay!" Before the cashier finished speaking, Li Luo's eyes lit up, he inserted his right hand directly into the lottery box, and shouted loudly, "It's you! Transformers!"

"It's not like you can win by speaking loudly." Lin Xiuhong thought it was a bit embarrassing for him to be so loud, so she quickly said, "Keep your voice down."

"It seems I've won..." The cashier looked at the golden note in Li Luo's hand and was stunned for a moment.

Because most lottery slips are white, only special prizes are gold.

Did this kid really win the lottery?

The cashier was a little surprised and quickly reached out to take the note from Li Luo's hand and looked at it: "It's still the first prize!"

"Eh?" Li Luo was stunned, and then wailed, "Why is it the first prize? Can it be changed to the second prize?"

"What can I exchange for?" Lin Xiuhong slapped Li Luo on the back of the head, "The first prize is definitely worth more than the second prize, that's it."

"Ahem...wait a moment, you two. The prizes need to be delivered to you by the staff."

…

Holding a huge panda doll, Li Luo followed Lin Xiuhong back home.

To be honest, although he wanted the Transformers figure more, he was quite happy to win the first prize.

He carried the panda doll, which was about the same size as him, into his room and threw it on the bed. After removing the outer packaging bag, Li Luo took a long breath and then fell on the bed.

But because he had just returned home and the air conditioner hadn't been turned on yet, in this summer, Li Luo suddenly felt extremely hot after being squeezed by the panda doll.

"Holy crap! How can I sleep at night? It's too hot..."

Li Luo muttered, not wanting this thing anymore.

So he rolled his eyes, hugged the panda doll, ran out, came to the opposite door, knocked hard and shouted: "Yingchanxi! Open the door! Open the door quickly!"

"Coming, coming!"

Ying Chanxi responded to Li Luo, quickly ran to the door, and opened the door with confusion on his face.

As a result, Ying Chanxi froze in the next second.

Looking at the huge panda doll in Li Luo's arms, Ying Chanxi was stunned, and then couldn't help but ask: "Where did you get this?"

"I bought it especially for you." Li Luo said with a cheeky smile, "Don't all girls like this kind of thing? Do you want it? If not, I will throw it away."

"Who said I don't want it anymore!" Ying Chanxi quickly grabbed Li Luo, then pushed open the door of his bedroom and said, "Put it on my bed."

"Okay!"

"How did you think of buying this for me?" Ying Chanxi sat on the edge of the bed, took the panda doll's furry arm, and asked curiously, "And where did you get the money?"

"I bought it with my mother." Li Luo said matter-of-factly, "There are also a lot of snacks. I'll get them for you."

Seeing Li Luo bring another bunch of snacks, Ying Chanxi was a little touched, and then he couldn't wait to run to the study and spread a stack of photos on the bed: "Look, the photos I took yesterday were just developed."

"These are yours."

"I also washed two copies of the group photo, so you can keep it as well."

The two people exchanged gifts with each other on the bed and chatted happily.

…

A few days passed.

Li Luo sneaked to the door of Ying Chanxi's house late at night and whispered to Ying Chanxi to open the door for him.

Ying Chanxi opened the door for him and let him in, then whispered: "Want to play on the computer again?"

"Otherwise, what else can we play?" Li Luo said, sneaking into the study room of Ying Chanxi's house and eagerly turning on the computer.

"Then don't play too late." Ying Chanxi walked in and warned in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in the early morning." Li Luo said this, his eyes fell on Ying Chanxi, and then he said, "Why did you change into pajamas?"

"Yes, do you want to take care of it?" Ying Chanxi blushed and hurriedly exited the study, "You can play, I'm going to bed. You can just go by yourself when the time comes."

After saying that, Ying Chanxi slipped back to her bedroom, wearing her cute panda pajamas, and hugged the giant panda on the bed.
Chapter completed!
