Chapter 14: Are you there? Are you there?

After getting rid of the crazy An Baili who was following him as usual, Lu Li subconsciously walked towards Chuanhai Women’s Sports High School. When he was in a daze outside the Chuanhai Women’s Sports High School for a long time, he suddenly realized that his sister had already left to participate in the Six Provinces League, and now it was estimated that she had arrived in Lingyue City.

He patted his head in self-mockery. He was like a young bird attached to its mother, and deep in his heart he was attached to Zou Yameng. In psychology, this might be an Oedipus complex. Or is it more appropriate to say that it is an Oedipus complex?

After rejecting the invitation of several female college students who intended to run over their children, Lu Li got on the bus, put in two yuan in banknotes, and sat in the back seat of the bus.

He liked to sit at the end of the bus, so that he could overlook the entire bus from a high position and fade his presence to the point that it was almost invisible. Unfortunately, his physical fitness declined after adulthood, and he could no longer sit on the bus. The smell of leather and engine oil always made him feel miserable.

“Beep~” The phone suddenly vibrated. Lu Li opened the lock screen and saw a girl with a pony avatar on WeChat sending him a message.

[Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse: Are you there? Are you there? ]

[Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse: Waiwai, are you there? ]

Lu Li couldn’t help but smile and changed the note of Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse to “Sister Yameng”.

[Lu Li: No, no. ]

Sister Yameng sent an angry expression with puffed cheeks and a big fist.

[Sister Yameng: I sent messages all day, why didn’t you reply to me? ]

This familiar feeling of checking up on her surprised Lu Li. He quickly went back to the chat history and saw that Sister Yameng had sent messages all day long, such as “Are you there?” “The ride is so boring” and “I’m hungry”.

He couldn’t help but laugh. Sister Yameng on the Internet is more lively than in reality. Maybe she doesn’t have as much pressure in her heart as in reality.

[Lu Li: I don’t dare to turn on my phone at school. I will reply to you as soon as school is over. ]

[Sister Yameng: Okay, I forgive you. ]

She sent an emoticon with a green hat, with a few big words on it, “Just think of him as practicing his skills”.

【Lu Li: Sister, where did you get these mourning pictures? 】

【Sister Yameng: Xiaowen and the others sent them to me. 】

【Sister Yameng: I’m already in Lingyue City~ I’ll show you my dinner. 】

Zou Yameng sent a picture of three or four girls sitting together eating barbecue. She also sent a note: “The school paid for it, haha!”

Lu Li thought about it and typed a line of words.

【Lu Li: It looks delicious. 】

No wonder, he doesn’t have such a strong desire for food. He just wants to see Sister Yameng happy. Which girl is not a foodie?

Sister Yameng didn’t move for a while, just when Lu Li thought she was busy, Sister Yameng replied.

[Sister Yameng: I hope to eat with you, Lizi, it’s really delicious! We must have a barbecue together in the future! ]

Lu Li himself didn’t realize that he was full of happiness. He sat in the back seat of the bus and smiled silly at Zou Yameng in the photo. This feeling of someone caring about you and missing you all the time is really warm, just like a flying kite, when you are tired, you can always follow the kite line back to the warm harbor.

[Lu Li: I will! ]

Zou Yameng sent a string of drooling and silly smiley expressions, which looked a bit like Chu Jingyi, the little fool.

[Sister Yameng: Are you home? Have you eaten dinner? Take a photo for me, and you are not allowed to eat instant noodles! ]

Entering housewife mode again, Lu Li sent a photo of himself on the bus.

[Lu Li: I’m on the bus, not home yet. ]

[Sister Yameng: Send me a photo of yourself. ]

[Lu Li: What for? ]

[Sister Yameng: I want to see my baby brother. ]

[Lu Li: So cheesy, eh, no. ]

An angry Minion emoji was sent from the other side.

[Sister Yameng: Should I send it? ]

Lu Li laughed at the screen of his mobile phone and was about to reply when he suddenly heard the driver shout, “Handsome boy, we’re at the terminal!”

“Ah?” Lu Li was stunned by the scenery outside the window. How old is he, and he still misses his stop on the bus?

He got off the bus and walked back in embarrassment. Fortunately, the low-rent area was not far from the terminal. He finally got home after walking for half an hour.

[Sister Yameng: Why don’t you reply to me? ]

[Sister Yameng: Are you there (poke)? ]

[Sister Yameng: Wai, wai, wai? #crying]

Lu Li fiddled with a box of instant noodles before reopening his phone. He was amused and sad when he saw a series of messages from Sister Yameng. An Baili had done something similar in his previous life. If they were apart for a day or two, she would bombard him with messages. An Baili would even call to check on him every now and then.
