"What a beautiful child.”Qian Cong whispered to Luo Tian. Although she was smiling sinisterly as usual, her eyes were not smiling at all.
"I guess so. Ku Sha also said so."
"Humph-is that so?" Qian Cong maintained her smile and distanced herself from Luo Tian. Looking at her, Luo Tian felt that something was wrong. Why did he feel like he was about to be chopped by a chopper? Why?
"That's it. The train is here. I'm going back.”Just as Qiancong had said, a train arrived at the train station. It was a train that was heading in the opposite direction of Luo Tian's apartment. Luo Tian hurriedly called out to her.
"Wait! A world history report?"
"Yes, I am. I was planning to, but I forgot about it.”Qian Cong said with a calm and angry smile. The look in her eyes was silently hinting that she had to explain it to him in school tomorrow.
"Wait…"
"Bye-bye." In front of Luo Tian's confused eyes, the car door closed. For some reason, Qian Cong ignored Luo Tian and only waved at Xue Cai before leaving.
" What's going on? This is…"
" I'm sorry, Senior." Xue Cai looked like she had a sense of responsibility. It seems like he misunderstood something because of me…"
"Misunderstanding?" Luo Tian looked at Xue Cai in disbelief. Then, he understood.
"No, there's no such thing. Misunderstanding? That guy was just an ordinary friend. Moreover, she was the one who started the conversation. Moreover, this friend of mine didn't even lend me my homework to copy. She even said that she wanted to train my independence. I believed her.”
"Just an ordinary friend…?”Xue Cai asked as if she was trying to predict Luo Tian's true intentions. Luo Tian nodded without hesitation.
"It's something like a best friend, or a gay friend.”
" Senior…" For some reason, Xue Cai looked up at Luo Tian with a reproachful gaze.
"What's wrong?"
"No, nothing happened." Xue Cai sighed deeply.
………………
When Luo Tian and Xue Cai arrived at the apartment, it was almost evening. Although the sun was still strong, the wind began to bring with it the unique coolness of the night.
"Hey, Luo Tianjun, you just came back? It's quite late." When Luo Tian and the others passed through the front door of the apartment, someone greeted them. He left the elevator door open. A female junior high school student in uniform waved at them.
"Ah, the sand. What happened? That luggage?" Luo Tian frowned when he saw his sister's figure. In her right hand was a sports bag that contained the club's luggage. In his left hand was a shopping bag filled with a large amount of ingredients. The contents of the shopping bags were large amounts of meat and sashimi, all of which were luxurious ingredients.
"What's going on? This is for the welcome party. It's for the transfer student." Mo Sha said helplessly as he looked at the surprised Luo Tian.
"Welcome party?"
"That's right. She couldn't cook today because she had just moved in, right?”
"Well, that's true." Luo Tian nodded in agreement as he recalled Xue Cai's room, which didn't even have cutlery or cooking tools. Then, it suddenly turned into a surprised expression.
"Ke Sha, you knew that Xue Cai was going to move in as a neighbor?”
"Yes, I am. Because he came over to say hello this morning. Luo Tianjun was still asleep. At that time, for some reason, Ma Xiu-chan was looking at Xue Cai-chan warily.”Ku Sha said as if he was going to scold Luo Tian for waking up late. The reason why he was more lenient with his words than usual was probably because he knew how to behave in front of Xue Cai.
"Is that so?" Luo Tian whispered to Xue Cai.
"Yes." Xue Cai replied.
"Um…but won't it trouble you guys? A welcoming party or something?”
"It's okay, it's okay. He had already bought so much meat. Luo Tianjun and I won't be able to finish it.”Ku Sha said with an intimate expression.
"Indeed." Luo Tian smiled bitterly.
Because her parents divorced four years ago, the Xiao family now had three people. Including Matthew, there were four people. Moreover, her mother, who was a research director in a company in the city, only came back once or twice a week because of her busy work. Therefore, there were still three of them.
As children, they could take the initiative to meet her, so they wouldn't feel lonely. However, in reality, it could be seen that only Matthew, Luo Tian, and Sha Sha lived there. Although it wasn't a lot, he couldn't finish all the specially selected beef that Mo Sha had bought at a reduced price. In Japan, meat was cheaper than vegetables…
"Thank you. In that case, I'll do as you say.”Xue Cai said after thinking for a moment. He had also come yesterday, probably to explain that this was part of his mission to monitor Luo Tian. Ku Sha laughed happily when he heard this.
"That's great. Then, come to our house after you put down your luggage. Oh right, can I make a mixed hotpot? Is there anything that can't be eaten with pickled cabbage sauce? Eating hotpot in the hot summer with the air conditioner on was indeed luxurious. It was really refreshing. Oh right, which one was better, the flavor enhancement or the soy sauce flavor? As for the soup base, he planned to make it with bonita, seaweed, chicken bones, and scallops for the time being. However, since there were crabs today, it was better to make it with soy sauce. The crab was a hairy crab from Okhotsk. It just so happens that it's Ji…"
"That's almost enough. There are so many technical terms that no one can understand except chefs and housewives.”Luo Tian knocked his sister's head lightly to shut her up.
"Ah, it hurts." Mo Sha said with tears in her eyes, looking at Luo Tian with hatred.
Xue Cai looked as if she had been crushed.
"Um, can I help too? If it's just the bottom of the hotpot…"
"No need, no need. Preserved cabbage sauce was today's guest. You can relax. You must be tired from coming here from afar. Come on, Luo Tianjun, go serve the pickled cabbage sauce."”
"Don't say such irresponsible words. I'm going to do the rest of my homework in my room.”Looking at the setting sun, Luo Tian sighed lightly. Thinking back, there was very little time left for the summer vacation. Although he felt that it was too late, he could not hide his anxiety.
"Since that's the case, how about letting me help you with your homework?”Xue Cai said as she placed the daily necessities at the door of Room 705.
Although it was a very good suggestion, letting his sister's classmates tutor him was really problematic from the standpoint of an older brother and the prestige of an elder.
"I'm sorry, pickled cabbage sauce. I'll leave Luo Tianjun to you. Although she was a good-for-nothing.”
"Wait, what about my prestige?"
Ku Sha said as he led Xue Cai into his house, while Luo Tian followed behind them with a bitter expression. The prestige of the elders was not taken seriously at all.
