The lights were on, and the street lamps on both sides of the road were also lit.
Ye Ling held Luo Xiayun's hand and walked slowly by the roadside. The streetlights cast long shadows on them.
They stopped at the corner of Luo Xiayun's house.
" Go back," Ye Ling said." Remember to rest early."”
Luo Xiayun looked reluctant as she bit her lip and looked at Ye Ling.
"You have to be careful when you go home alone.”
"Be careful."
" Don't worry," Ye Ling said." It's not far."”
Only then did Luo Xiayun reluctantly turn around and leave, turning back as she walked.
When she reached the door, she realized that Ye Ling was still standing there watching her.
Luo Xiayun waved at Ye Ling and took out the key to open the door.
The lights were still on, so his parents must not be resting yet.
Luo Xiayun felt a little guilty. She gritted her teeth and opened the door.
Ye Ling only turned around and left when Luo Xiayun entered the house.
The town was not big, so it was only a ten-minute walk from Ye Ling's place to Luo Xiayun's house.
He was in a very good mood. He had never experienced spending an entire day with Luo Xiayun like this in his previous life.
Luo Xiayun's family had always been very strict, so she didn't have many opportunities to come out.
In addition, the two of them did not have a relationship, so there was no reason for them to hang out.
But today, this regret was finally made up for.
Ye Ling felt like he had returned to the time when he was 18 years old. He would be happy for many days after seeing the girl he liked.
He returned to his apartment. Just as he opened the iron gate and was about to go upstairs, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Where did he go?"
Ye Ling was shocked and took a step back out of reflex.
Zhen Ran walked out from the shadows at the corner of the corridor.
"Why did you come home so late?" he asked Ye Ling with a frown.”
Ye Ling heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Zhen Ran.
At the same time, he said inexplicably," Why aren't you going home to sleep? What are you doing here at night? Are you a Nightwalker?"”
Zhen Ran did not joke around with Ye Ling like usual.
Instead, she said unhappily,"You haven't told me yet. Why did you come home so late?"”
If someone else asked Ye Ling about this, he would definitely find it baffling.
However, Zhen Ran was different. She had been like family since she was young.
Ye Ling had always said whatever he wanted to this girl who was closer to him than his own sister.
"Ahem, I didn't finish a few questions, so I wasted some time.”
Zhen Ran's expression changed when he heard that. He looked a little angry, but also extremely sad.
Ye Ling did not know what was wrong with her.
"Little Ran? Are you okay? Why do I feel like you're acting weird today?”
Ye Ling touched Zhen Ran's forehead." Are you sick?"”
Zhen Ran felt bitter in his heart and shook his head stiffly.
"I'm fine."
"Are you worried that something will happen if I come home too late?" Ye Ling asked after some thought.”
"It's okay. The town is not big. I can walk home with my eyes closed.”
Zhen Ran forced a smile, but there was no smile in his eyes. The corners of his eyes drooped, and he felt very listless.
"Well, that's good."
"Rest early," she said lightly.
Then, he turned around and left without looking at Ye Ling.
Although Ye Ling found it strange, he knew that kids his age were usually troubled.
Perhaps Zhen Ran was just in a bad mood.
Thinking of this, he did not ask any more questions.
The two of them lived next door. They opened the door at the same time and closed it with a bang.
.
The next morning, Zhen Ran did not come to Ye Ling's house to wake him up as usual.
It was already dawn. High school students woke up early, usually at five o'clock, before the rooster even crowed.
Ye Ling woke up half-asleep, got dressed, and washed up.
He felt that something was missing today.
While they were eating breakfast outside, Ye Ling said,""Mom, isn't Xiaoran here today?"
Wang Yan was heating up milk for Ye Ling. The fragrance of the milk slowly wafted out of the pot.
"Oh, Ranran said she had to hand in her homework this morning and go to school early.”
Wang Yan poured the warm milk into a cup and handed it to Ye Ling.
"What's wrong? Are you still not used to the fact that Sister doesn't come to look for you every now and then?”
Wang Yan said with a smile.
Ye Ling took a sip of porridge." Yes, a little."”
"Every day, I'm woken up by that little girl's loud voice. If I don't come today, I always feel that something is missing.”
Ye Ling sighed.
Wang Yan smiled and said,"You and Ranran were born almost the same day. Why do you call her a little girl?"”
"Don't you think Xiaoran doesn't look like an eighteen-year-old high school student?" Ye Ling asked.”
"I think she's just a little girl. She's still a little girl at heart.”
"You still have such thoughts?" Wang Yanqi asked curiously.”
Ye Ling nodded." We grew up together. I know her well."”
He finished his breakfast in two bites." Alright, Mom, I'll go to school first. I still have to check and memorize the text this morning.”
Ye Ling was about to pack up and leave when Wang Yan hurriedly said,""Aiya, drink the milk first.”
"Mom has already heated it up for you!"
"It's too late, Mom!" Ye Ling said.
"This won't do. The third year of high school is so hard. I have to keep up with the nutrition!”
Wang Yan stuffed the milk into Ye Ling's hands without saying anything.
"Drink before you leave!"
Ye Ling could not resist his mother's care, so he could only raise his head and gulp down the full cup of milk.
"Burp."
Ye Ling burped and said with difficulty,"Mom, can I go now?"?”
Wang Yan was satisfied." Go on, study hard in school!" Pay attention in class!"
Ye Ling carried his bag, waved at his mother, and ran to school in the morning light.
The weather was getting warmer and the sky was getting brighter.
At 5:30 in the morning, the sun had already risen in the east.
The breakfast stall by the roadside was set up and steaming hot air was coming out.
Under the white cloth sheet were neatly arranged white steamed buns, steamed buns, and steamed rolls. There was also soy milk beside them.
Many high school students who passed by would stop and buy one or two buns by the roadside. They would eat them as they walked.
Ye Ling remembered that in this era, meat buns were only 50 cents each, and noodles were 3 yuan a bowl.
After that, the prices of goods soared, and even the prices of things in the town increased by a lot.
Zhen Ran was buying buns by the roadside. Ye Ling was surprised to see her.
"Little Ran."
He called out and walked forward.
"Why didn't you wait for me to leave today?”Ye Ling asked.
Zhen Ran turned around and saw that it was Ye Ling. He panicked for a moment before turning around.
"No, it's nothing. I have something to do, so I left first.”she stammered.
" Look at you," Ye Ling said." You don't even eat breakfast."”
He bought Zhen Ran two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk.
"How much?"
The old man who was carrying the breakfast stall said happily,"A total of five."
Ye Ling paid and passed the breakfast to Zhen Ran.
"No matter how anxious you are, you have to eat breakfast before you leave.”
"There are so many classes in the morning. How can I not eat?”
"I was just buying breakfast when I bumped into you."”
"Little Ran, are you hiding something from me?" Ye Ling asked.”
